By Steve Flowers Related: My Encounter with A UFO To my critics, Basically there are two kinds of UFO sightings; the most common being a white disc or other shape either traveling at supersonic speeds, hovering, or moving in an unexplainable pattern, almost always at high altitudes. The second and very rare is where the person(s) sees the actual craft. Usually these are the guys my critics would call "the real nut cases." In our case, I and the Burkies saw a craft that was so close you could see into the sides. (Lights) Having flown on over 1,000 airplane...

It was with interest that I read the articles about the Gloucester City Fire Department and the dispute over "Overtime." During the 1940's and early 1950's there were several large industries located on Charles Street at the river. They caught fire frequently. During that time my father was the Fire Chief of Gloucester City. He was a volunteer chief. A large bell was located on the side of our house. When the fire siren sounded, the bell rang out loud and clear. Many times, I was awakened from a sound sleep by the alarm. I usually did not return to...

Democrats continue to rule in the state legislature and in most counties in South Jersey. I thought for sure we would see something change as a result of a number of key legislators being arrested this year and charged with abusing their power. Needless to say it is kind of hard to choose who to pick when both Republicans and Democrats have been caught with their hand in the "Cookie Jar". Voters did send Trenton a message with the defeat of the two questions on the ballot dealing with spending. Hopefully our leaders got the message to stop squandering our...

To My fellow patriots from the South Jersey area... You'll love these! Read Till The End! It's Well Worth The Effort! These are some of the best "comebacks" I've read/heard in a very long time! When in England at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of empire building' by George Bush. He answered by saying, 'Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount...

This could happen to you. I was barely sitting down when I heard a voice from the other stall saying: "Hi, how are you?" I'm not the type to start a conversation in the restroom but I don't know what got into me, so I answered, somewhat embarrassed, "Doin' just fine!" And the other person says: "So what are you up to?" What kind of question is that? At that point, I'm thinking this is too bizarre so I say: "Uhhh, I'm like you, just traveling!" At this point I am just trying to get out as fast as I...

By Bruce Darrow Is there a better way to spend a fall Saturday afternoon, then watching your favorite team play? To most people this would sound like a dumb question, while others it is considered a no brainer. As a parent you watch your child grow from a cute little "T' Ball player to a young man playing in front of playoff crowds and cable television. A boy who once turned to the sidelines for reassurance from their parents, now glare into the stands to find that special girl. Five hours after a stinging playoff lost to Woodbury, I still...

by Tom Luicci Saturday November 10, 2007, 7:12 AM source www.nj.com WEST POINT, N.Y. - Bolstered by Ray Rices record rushing game and the effective-enough play of backup quarterback Jabu Lovelace, Rutgers became bowl-eligible for the third straight year with a 41-6 victory over Army Friday night at Michie Stadium. Lovelace saw the most extensive action of his career when Mike Teel was forced to the sidelines after taking just seven snaps, having apparently aggravated the thumb injury to his throwing (right) hand. The severity of the injury, and how it might affect him for next Saturday's game against Pittsburgh,...
