Source The Daily Record December 30, 2007 Many New Jersey bears seem to be staying up later than usual this winter. Pregnant sows have to den-up to have their cubs in January, but as long as there's abundant food available, other bears sometimes stay awake, unlike groundhogs and chipmunks, two true hibernators. Black bears generally go into a deep sleep during the coldest months, but aren't as out of consciousness as real hibernators. Just about every week, there are new photos of bears, some taken by trail cameras, others by hunters, on newjerseyhunter.com. There's even one sleeping on a bait pile in Hopatcong. Check the site, click in "bear" and scroll down to see them. more

By Hank F.Miller Jr. New Year's is the most significant holiday in Japan. On the morning of January 1, family members exchange formal greetings and have o-toso, or spiced sake, o-zoni soup containing rice cakes, and a variety of special New Year's dishes. Parents give their children o-toshidama, or New Year's money gifts. Then they enjoy reading New Year's greeting postcards which are sent by family members or friends, and are usually delivered around noon. Quite a few people pay the New Year's first visit to a shrine or temple to pray for coming good fortune. In years gone by, Japanese children used to often fly beautifully decorated kites and or play battledore and shuttlecock and Japanese card games, but nowadays we don't see kids doing things like that as often as we used to Children today seem to prefer playing soccer and home video games. These traditional customers are...

Dear Bill, I have noticed that the video of the Gloucester City School Board December Meeting has still not been shown on the local cable station Channel 19. Why is it every time a heated issue is brought up and questions are raised that may cause controversy on the Board that somehow it never shows up on Local TV 19? This happened in May or April when myself, Mr. Hagan, and a few others questioned the Board, with no response. What are the leadership and the majority of the board afraid of? What is it that they don't want the citizens to see? They all chose to be public servants for the community why do they continue not to perform the duties they were elected to do? Sincere thanks to the board members who care about our school district and community. Sincerely, John P. Schmidt, Gloucester City Related: Board Member...

January 2007 Bills Point of View: HOW MUCH DID IT COST? NOW WE KNOW!-Remember the "sweet-heart" deal announced October 12, 2006 in the Democrat controlled "What's Happening In Gloucester City" newsletter that the City had purchased the dilapidated building at Broadway and Cumberland St. It was one of those Democrat "puff pieces" that came out before the election with the banner "Great Things Are Happening" in Gloucester City.

December 23, 2007 Outdoors by The Clarion-Ledger And then there's the story of Allen Hunley, who just over a year into his deer hunting career killed a buck of a lifetime. He didn't even know just how good a deer he had killed, using a borrowed muzzle-loader on private land Dec. 12 near his home in Utica. If the antlers maintain their measurements for the required 60-day drying period, they will be a Boone & Crockett record book qualifier and the second largest ever killed in Mississippi with a muzzle-loader rifle. read more
