(CNBNEWS.NET)Touring Gloucester City Sunday around 10 AM looking for storm damage from Hurricane Irene. Starting at the former CG Base on King Street, stopping at Proprietors Park and taking a ride on Water Street and Charles Street.
What we found was some fallen trees (photo, Martins Lake)and fallen tree branches along with local flooding. Two streets that always flood are Water and Charles Street. A van can be seen in this video stuck on Charles Street, and also in the photo below. These two streets border the proposed South Port Development area. Before any development can proceed in this area it is obvious that the infrastructure on these streets needs to be repaired. You would have thought by now after all these years that this work would have been the first thing completed.
As for the hurricane, Gloucester City Police Chief George Berglund said there were no problems except a couple people did get stuck when they drove their cars through a flooded street. He also said some trees did fall down because of the storm but no one got hurt.
"Gloucester City Marine Terminal, (Holt) offered the police department the use of a 21/2 ton army surplus vehicle for any emergencies. We did use the vehicle to help some people who were stuck in the middle of a flooded street. We also used the truck to help the Brooklawn Police Department with people who needed assistance after their cars got stuck in the water around the flooded traffic circles."
Berglund said the City and the Brooklawn Police Department appreciated the help from Mr. Holt.

(CNBNews.net) UPDATE: The wind knocked the tree down around 2 AM Sunday morning. Mr. Stecklair along with several other neighbors were working on removing the tree from the street when the photo was taken. Later in the morning the City Highway Department was on the scene to haul the branches away. The street is now opened.
For the record, Mr. Stecklair was NOT being paid by the taxpayers for his work on the fallen tree. We apologize for giving anyone that impression. We were trying to put a little humor into the article. Apparently, from the comment received on this post, we failed. -Bill Cleary
(cnbnews.net)Hurricane Irene Storm Damage-A large tree fell early this morning blocking Rutgers Avenue in Gloucester City. Joe Stecklair of the Gloucester City Housing Office was on duty cutting limbs off the fallen tree.

Join us this Friday evening at MINIMA for Old City's FIRST FRIDAY in June to view FACES OF A NEW CHINA photography exhibit by Amanda Stevenson Lupke
China, the middle kingdom, has once again evolved to have a new face, which Amanda has documented. Amanda traveled to China and experienced a whole new culture as well as a new aspect of life. While she was there she was able to photograph and videotape the lifestyle of China. The photographs depict the hardworking Chinese men on an average work day, while the videos captured the past-time for some Chinese people. Minima will be representing Amanda's art work in their store located 118 North 3rd Street Philadelphia, PA 19106.

Brooklawn NJ-The contractor working on renovating the "Joe Barth Field" in Brooklawn is busy putting down new sod on the baseball field.
The $25,000 grant includes removal of 10” to 14” of infield dirt which has accumulated in the past 20 years since the last renovation. Once the existing dirt is removed and the field graded, infield sod and infield sprinkler system will be installed. Crushed red stone will surround the infield fencing providing a warning area.
In addition to the infield project the outfield will be hydro seeded and the batting cages repaired. Once this construction is completed replacement of the scoreboard will be considered.
The Brooklawn American Legion Baseball team plays a high caliber brand of Baseball winning over 25 State American Legion Titles. Currently the Brookawn Legion has both Greg Burke (San Diego Padres) and Zach Braddock (Milwaukee Brewers) on Major League Rosters.
Construction started on Friday, February 18 by a local contractor and is scheduled to be completed by March 10, 2011.

Update: The accident happened at around 6 PM not 7:15 PM as originally reported. According to WPVI Channel 6 the driver of the white pickup was charged with being under the influence.
The school bus was transporting 20 seven and eight year olds home from the after-school program at Cold Springs Elementary School in Gloucester City.
Police say the pickup truck with two people inside, drifted from its lane and slammed head on into the school bus.
The bus driver was not injured. The occupants of the truck were badly hurt and rushed to Cooper Hospital.
Some of the children were also treated at Coopers and others at Lourdes. One youngster expects to be sporting a shiner he says from banging into the seat belt.
Police say the driver of the pickup truck will be charged with driving while intoxicated. They say heroin was found inside the truck.

Dog attacks and aggressive interference from other dogs have always been dangers for guide dog teams, but an accurate estimate of their frequency and just how many guide dog handlers experience attacks, has been relatively unknown.
This month, The Seeing Eye will conclude a survey that will be used to identify the percentage of guide dog handlers who experience attacks and aggressive interference and the circumstances that lead to these attacks.
PHOTO recent litter of puppies born at Seeing Eye campus
It is our hope that sharing the results will open the door to greater communication about the need for responsible dog ownership on the part of the pet owning public, and more vigilance and diligence on the part of legislators, animal control officers and the police. The data will be used to educate the public on the dangers of dog attacks and aggressive interference, and to recommend ways these dangerous encounters can be prevented.

Many of the students took a hand at the wheel while learning about navigation. They learned what makes a sailboat go. Some history and information was given about what goes on between the two bridges.
The NorthWind will continue to take students on these field trips to get a better understanding of our river. Basics of sailing, ecology and our local history are topics of discussion.
The NorthWind is owned by the City and operated by Gloucester City Sail.

press release
The sixth, seven, and eighth grades from the Alice Costello School in Brooklawn experienced the thrill of a maritime education on the water, as they recently set sail on the North Wind, a steel, two-masted schooner. With Captain Chuck Reed in command, assisted by Bob Bevan and Ken MacAdams, the North Wind sailed up and down the Delaware River on a sun-splashed afternoon.
Captain Reed provided a verbal history of the sites along the river, proving himself to be part Jack Sparrow and part Jacques Cousteau. The voyage was both educational and fun, as students learned teamwork and respect for the environment aboard the North Wind. Dr. John Kellmayer, Brooklawn Superintendent, accompanied the eighth grade and said, “It was a great trip, memorable and exciting. The students and teachers loved everything about the day.”
The North Wind is the flagship of the city of Gloucester. The North Wind is berthed at Freedom Pier, the old Coast Guard Station, at the foot of Cumberland Street in Gloucester City.

Bill Hillman captured this photo of what he believes are two hawks visiting Old Saint Mary cemetery recently located at St. Mary and Market Street, Gloucester City.
The photo doesn’t show the face of the birds or the color under their wings. As such it makes it hard to identify the exact species of hawk.
A red-tailed hawk is native to New Jersy and has more brown coloring according to the photo found at Wikipedia.
I think these birds look more like turkey buzzards.
How about some input from our readers that are bird watchers.
Thanks Bill for the photos. ~Bill Cleary

Ewing, NJ... Most collegiate athletes spend their summers combing the beaches, earning some semester spending money, and training for their upcoming season. Who could blame them? They have the rest of their lives to work and establish career paths.
Andrew Mason (Freehold, NJ/Red Bank Catholic), an offensive lineman on The College of New Jersey football team, had a different set of objectives during the months of June and July. He was focused on “the rest of their lives,” engaging in military training at Fort Lewis, Washington that will prepare him to protect and care for his fellow countrymen. Mason took part in the Leader Development and Assessment Course (LDAC) which is the centerpiece of the U.S. Army’s ROTC program. The course totals 29 consecutive days of both training and testing in common soldier skills like physical fitness, land navigation, rifle marksmanship, grenades, first aid, radio procedures, field craft, and tactics. It is a mentally and physically grueling experience that typically serves as the final leg of the ROTC program before being commissioned.
“I was very happy to get out of there,” joked Mason when asked what his thoughts were once he

A groundbreaking ceremony was held on Memorial Day at VFW Post 7125, Verga for the replacement of World War II Monument. Among those participating were, from left, Samuel Fuss, Gene “Jeep” MacAdams, Charles Leusner, (all World War II Veterans from Verga whose names were on the monument that is being replaced)
The original Verga World War II monument disappeared some years ago when the intersection of Crown Point road and Hessian avenue was expanded. It was re-created after a culmination of efforts led by Bob Jonas and members of the Verga VFW. Support was garnered by West Deptford Township officials.
The project was spearheaded by Jeep MacAdams, formerly of Brooklawn NJ, who had become outraged when no one could produce the original monument, photo on right, that stood since 1941.

GLOUCESTER CITY-A CNB News Hound sent these photos taken today at the corner of Little Somerset Street and Washington Avenue.
Included with the photos was this comment,
This used to be a playground/park. Now its crap. Over grown weeds, trash, parked cars, an abandon basketball court. The photo of the sewer drain, located behind the PAL building (old Brown Street School) is covered with a trash can because there's NO grating or cover at all. Someone should tell Councilman Marchese that the 2nd Ward extends past Martin's lake!
The Highway Department was contacted about the sewer drain missing a grating. A message was left on their answering machine. ~Bill Cleary
