by Anthony Mauro Sr Allow Recreational Anglers Access to Artificial Reefs! BACKGROUND: There's a new term being bandied about by nearly 1,000,000 anglers that are either New Jersey residents or travel to the Garden State to fish, they call it Pay and No Play. To be clear, Pay and No Play does not reverse the contentious practice of granting exclusive privileges found in "Pay to Play." Rather, the definition of Pay and No Play is when recreational anglers pay a federal tax included in the price of fishing supplies, a portion of which goes towards the maintenance of artificial reefs,...

Here we go again. Another snowstorm and the streets of Gloucester City are a disgrace. Driving down Monmouth Street is terrible, and so are most of the streets in Highland Park. What has happened to our Streets Department? The plow went down the middle of our street twice. No cars were parked on one side, and they did not even get close to the curb. When we get two inches of snow the plows are out all the time, but the last two big ones no one showed up. For all the taxes we pay in this City I think...

Category Bills Point of View By Bill Cleary I was clearing out a file cabinet recently and found a copy of the Gloucester City School District Facilities Master Plan prepared in 1979 by Robert F.

In 1978 the total enrollment was 2493 and...

| Philadelphia Inquirer | 02/04/2010 Christie's transition advisers have recommended expanding the number of charter schools, re-evaluating hundreds of education regulations, and radically tightening eligibility for high-school students applying to the NJ STARS college-tuition program. That's just a start. The education transition subcommittee, in a recent 25-page report, suggested that Christie think about stripping the state Board of Education of policy powers. Ditto for the state Council on Higher Education. And in a move that snapped union members to attention, it floated the idea of tying teacher and principal raises to student performance and requiring teachers to work for five...

Category Pet Tips Don’t Rule Out the Special Needs Dog Awhile ago I wrote about special needs dogs. It’s an important topic so I’m going to address it one more time. There are many websites that offer ‘special’ dogs and many shelters advertise them, as well. ‘Special’ can mean any number of characteristics—blind, deaf, loss of a leg or two, or an older dog. These dogs often have a reduced adoption fee to encourage their placement in appropriate homes. PHOTO: SKIPPY My husband and I adopted a little Maltese 12 years ago.
