CONRAIL \”TRASHES\” GLOUCESTER CITY NJ

$\"Rrailroad$

GLOUCESTER CITY: January 23, a CONRAIL train passes the rotten railroad ties and trash that lines the railroad tracks along Johnson Blvd and all of Klemm Avenue to Rt. 130. Workers for CONRAIL replaced the old ties with new ones two months ago. But the workers left the old ones thrown about along with empty tar buckets.

Bottom photo, rotten railroad ties along with empty tar buckets lay near the walkway into the Johnson Blvd. Recreation area.

Today\’s Poem: I AM POEM by Steven Jackson

$\"St.$ Written by Steven Jackson Grade 8 St. Mary Grammar School, Gloucester City NJ

www.smshope.org

I AM POEM

I am athletic and intelligent

I wonder what college I am going to

I hear the Notre Dame Fight Song

I see the Golden Dome

I want to go to Notre Dame

I am athletic and intelligent

I pretend to be a Notre Dame Football player

I feel like a hard working student

I touch the grass of Notre Dame stadium

I worry if I will ever get into a good college

I cry when we leave Notre Dame

I am athletic and intelligent

I understand that getting accepted by Notre Dame is hard

I say that Notre Dame is a great school

I dream about getting accepted by Notre Dame

I try to do my best in school

I hope that Notre Dame accepts me

I am athletic and intelligent
