No Snuff Tobacco Education | nosnuff.com

My name is Rick Bender, and some call me the man without a face.  Let me tell you a little about myself.  I was born in San Diego, California in April of 1962.  I now live in Kentucky.  At the age of 12 I started using Spit Tobacco, commonly known as Chewing Tobacco.  there were several things that influenced me in its use, probably the biggest was the game of baseball. 

 

 

At the age of 26 (March of 1989) I was diagnosed with cancer because of my use of Spit Tobacco.  In April of 1989 I underwent my first of 4 major surgeries to remove the cancer.  I lost 1/3 of my tongue, 1/2 of my jaw, 25% use of my right arm, as well as almost my life.  I am still fighting the affect of my tobacco use today.

ALL TIME GLOUCESTER CITY HIGH MEN'S BASKETBALL TEAM

By CNBNEWS Sports 

 

 

(cnbnews.net) With the recent scoring of 1000 points by Gloucester City’s boys, Junior guard  Stefano O’koro who became the 14^th  player to reach this milestone, local fans begin to wonder who is the greatest Gloucester High player of the past 50+ years by position.  With the advent of the 3- Shot, 1000 points has become reasonably easier since more players are shooting beyond the 3 foot arc.  Many of our 1,000 points scorers achieved their milestone prior to the 3-shot.  

 

 

Through evaluation of each position more questions surfaced then answers. Did the era in which an individual play enhance his status? Did the success of his team upgrade one’s performance?  Is play more physical now making individual performance more favorable now then 20, 30 even 40 years ago. Gloucester High was

GOOD FRIENDS REUNITED-from left to right are:Phil MacAdams, Jeep MacAdams,Barry Switzer,Tom MacAdams,Scott MacAdams

 

by CNBNEWS SPORTS

  Tulsa Jeff Shannon admitted he was apprehensive at best in the lobby of the Sooner Legends and Inn in Norman,Oklahoma. His long time college buddy, “Scott From NJ”, either arranged the biggest coup since the Wishbone or the biggest disappointment since Billy Sims’ fumble on the Nebraska three yard line. Seems Scott had contacted and set up a meeting with legendary Oklahoma coach Barry Switzer and when Jeff told his friends at work they all laughed. “’Yeah,right’ I believe were their comments” said Shannon. So, when one of only two coaches in history who has won both a National Championship and a Super Bowl walked thru the front door, jaws dropped at a surreal moment in history. “I knew he would show,”claimed Scott.”He told me when we got off the plane to call him and I did”.

Thought for the Day: The Class Reunion -cnbnews.net

Every five years, as summertime nears,

An announcement arrives in the mail,
A reunion is planned; it'll be really grand;
Make plans to attend without fail.

I'll never forget the first time we met;
We tried so hard to impress.
We drove fancy cars, smoked big cigars,
And wore our most elegant dress.

It was quite an affair; the whole class was there.
It was held at a fancy hotel.
We wined, and we dined, and we acted refined,
And everyone thought it was swell.

The men all conversed about who had been first
To achieve great fortune and fame.
Meanwhile, their spouses described their fine houses
And how beautiful their children became.

The homecoming queen, who once had been lean,

Tips and Snippets: 1960's Gloucester High Gridiron Coach to be Enshrined in College Football Hall of Fame

 

By Bill Cleary

CNBNEWS.NET

 

(CNBNEWS.NET)Former LaSalle Football Coach Bill Manlove (photo) will be heading to South Bend, Indiana this week for the College Football Hall of Fame ceremonies being held July 15-16. He is one of four coaches that will be enshrined. 

 

Knowledgable South Jersey football fans will remember Manlove as the head football coach at Gloucester City High School in the 1960‘s. A graduate of Temple University, Manlove taught math at GHS. Along with coaching football he also coached Lions freshman basketball. 

 

Former Gloucester City Mayor Bob Bevan, who was coached by Manlove said, ”I played for Bill in my junior and senior year (1961, 1962) we had a losing record in his rookie year as Head Coach  and had a 6-2-1 record in our senior year. He was more of a strategist his first year and became more of a motivator during his second year.He became successful over the next several years in both high school and as a college coach. He was a gentleman and always treated his players with respect.”

CONGRATULATIONS NICOLE!

 

Congratulation's to my niece and god daughter, Nicole Marie Krimmel.

She is the daughter of Donna Bloom of Gloucester and the daughter of John Krimmel of Gloucester City. Nicole graduated from the Gloucester City High School on June 16th 2011. 

Your life has just begun and we wish you nothing but the best in whatever you do. We are all so proud of you!
