While en route, additional calls reported that the driver of one of the vehicles was entrapped inside their car.

It’s no joke. Drinking and driving can cost you everything including your life. So this New Years Eve, think before you head out to party and arrange for a sober ride home. Drunk Driving Enforcement Fact Sheet Highly visible law enforcement crackdowns, including checkpoints and saturation patrols, are proven to keep drunk drivers off the road. Every state should allow sobriety checkpoints to find and deter drunk drivers. MADD is working with law enforcement agencies as well as federal, state and local governments to increase DUI enforcement—especially during peak holiday periods. Drunk Driving in the U.S. · In 2007, there were nearly 13,000 drunk driving fatalities and countless other injuries. · About 2/3 of all drunk driving arrests include a “first time” offender. “First time” offenders have typically driven drunk about 87 times before they are ever arrested and surveys shows most of the offenders have alcohol dependency issues. · About 1/3 of all drivers arrested or convicted of driving under the influence are repeat offenders. These drivers are 40 percent more likely to be involved in a fatal crash than those without prior DUIs. · In a recent study, 60% of those surveyed said they had operated a car... Read more →

CAGW Grounds $3 Billion in Defense Budget Pork Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) won its multi-year battle to terminate federal funding for the alternate engine for the Joint Strike Fighter, a wasteful pork-barrel project that was opposed by both the Bush and Obama administrations and the Pentagon, which had repeatedly said the alternate engine was “not necessary and not affordable.” On April 25, the Department of Defense terminated its contract for production of the engine after CAGW ultimately embarrassed Congress into declining to fund the program. Then taxpayers received an early Christmas present when GE and Rolls-Royce announced on December 2 that they would cease self-funding the project at the end of the year. CAGW led the opposition to the engine since disclosing the first earmark for it in the 2004 Congressional Pig Book, and pulling the plug on the project saves taxpayers $3 billion.

December 23, 2011 Washington, D.C. – The race to be named CREW’s first ever Scoundrel of the Year came down to a dead heat between a Wall Street puppet and a media puppet master. While House Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s (R-VA) hypocrisy riled up voters, in the end, he was no match for Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp., which may have spied on the families of 9/11 victims as well as other American citizens. The Department of Justice is now investigating the matter. “The deplorable behavior of Mr. Murdoch and his employees stood head and shoulders above the other worthy nominees for the title of Scoundrel of the Year,” said CREW Executive Director Melanie Sloan. “With the Department of Justice investigating, 2012 could bring new headaches for Mr. Murdoch and new revelations of further wrongdoing. ” Who will be the first scoundrel of 2012?

H.R. 2055—the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2012—has been passed by the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate and has been sent to the President for his expected signature. This bill contains three NRA-backed provisions that will strengthen our Second Amendment rights and prohibit your federal tax dollars from being used to advance an anti-gun agenda. Rumor Alert: Appropriations Bill Blocks New Shotgun Ban—Does Not Repeal “Sporting Purposes” Test: This year, NRA-ILA worked with pro-gun legislators to include a provision in the 2012 Commerce, Justice and Science appropriations legislation to help prohibit the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives from banning the importation of shotguns that are currently legally imported. That legislation was a part of a consolidated appropriations bill that Congress passed to fund major portions of the federal government for the remainder of fiscal year 2012.

The Grinch came to Camden this year. But instead of taking Christmas presents away from little children, he brought them. This pony-tailed Grinch was actually Tommy Williams, the head of Street Ministries, who hosts an annual bike, clothes, toy and food distribution for Camden families every Christmas Eve. Tommy sported a pair of boxer shorts emblazoned with the phrase “Merry Grinchmas” that he wore over his tan khakis. Tommy laughed about the boxer shorts and said, “I used to be a Grinch until I let Jesus in my heart. Now, I’m a Grinch no more!” read via anneforline.blogspot.com by Anne Forline Read more →

after 207 Years WASHINGTON, D.C. – The House has passed the “National Defense Authorization Act of 2012” (NDAA), which includes a provision strenuously pushed for by U.S. Congressmen Frank LoBiondo (NJ-02) and Mike Rogers (MI-08) that requires the Department of Defense (DoD) to begin the process of identifying and returning Commander Richard Somers and his fellow twelve (12) Navy commandos buried in mass graves in Libya to the United States. Killed in Tripoli, Libya in 1804, Commander Somers is the namesake of Somers Point, New Jersey. “After years and years of unexplained delays and blatant stonewalling, the U.S. Navy will now have to begin the process of bringing one of our nation’s greatest heroes home to Somers Point,” praised LoBiondo, a member of the House Armed Services Committee. “The historic life of U.S. Commander Richard Somers has positively affected and inspired not only residents of Somers Point and South Jersey, but individuals across the country. The definition of an American hero is Richard Somers and his fellow sailors, who bravely fought and died for their country.

December 21, 2011 Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments as follows: The New Jersey Hall of Fame (NJHF) includes luminaries as diverse as Albert Einstein and Shaquille O'Neal. It should not be dishonored by including bigots: Catholics will be outraged to learn that of the 50 nominees for the class of 2012, Thomas Nast made the cut. Nast is not only the most bigoted cartoonist in American history, the 19th-century artist consistently inflamed hatred against the Irish and Catholics alike. Amazingly, the NJHF's website omits any mention of Nast's anti-Catholic legacy. No one is denying his many talents as a creative cartoonist, but to discuss his work without mentioning his virulent anti-Catholicism is on a par with discussing filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl's contributions without citing her role in generating anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany. Nast and Riefenstahl belong in a Bigots Hall of Shame, not in any honorary club. Nast's cartoons show a long and pernicious pattern of bigotry born of nativism [click here for a sampling]. He encouraged the mixing of racism and anti-Catholic bigotry in his depictions of the Irish as a race of inferior gorillas; he demonized the Church as a nefarious institution threatening America's public schools; he depicted...

December 22, 2011 Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on secularists who feed off of Christmas: For the past couple of years, Macy’s has been brandishing the word Believe at Christmastime: the word appears in huge lights across its Herald Square store on 34th Street in New York City, and is inscribed on its shopping bags. To believe is to believe in something—it must have an object—but Macy’s prefers not to know what most people believe in at this time of year, so it allows everyone to fill in the blank. So inclusive. For good reason, Macy’s chooses December to invoke its Believe campaign—it would make no sense to do so in June. Its latest newspaper ad comes close to telling us what to believe in, but stops short: it says, “Want to be the Ultimate Santa this season? Visit macys.com/gifts.” Bloomingdale’s comes perilously close to using the word Christmas. Its latest ad reads: Merry must-haves {Gifts $100 and Under} There is a silly full-page ad in today’s New York Times by the atheists from Freedom From Religion Foundation called, Reason’s Greetings. The “Solstice Tribute” is appropriately vacuous, but what got our attention was the caveat at the end of... Read more →

Califorinia Republicans Call for Official Investigation of Dem's Redistricting Tactics by Lois Beckett ProPublica, Dec. 21, 2011, reprinted with permission Early reactions to ProPublica’s report on the ways California Democrats manipulated the state’s citizen redistricting commission split along partisan lines. The Chairman of California’s Republican Party called for “an immediate and thorough investigation.” Any Questions? ProPublica is experimenting with a new podcast. We plan to feature our readers' questions and voices. If you've got questions about redistricting, we'd love to answer them. You can record your questions right from your computer. “No fair minded person can now say the process or the result was fair,” Chairman Tom Del Beccaro said in a press release. “I am calling for an immediate and thorough investigation, by Congressional and State authorities, to get to the bottom of this obviously corrupted process. Beyond that, the Congressional and Senate lines as drawn by the Commission should not be used in any way for the upcoming elections." (One note: The press release says our piece detailed a “relationship between [commission] members and officials from the DNC;” our story doesn’t note any such relationships.) Del Beccaro has long been critical of the redistricting commission. In contrast, Democratic... Read more →

It is possible that raw sewage has greater political acumen than the Republicans in Congress. Unlike the Republicans, sewage at least figures out how to flow through Washington with the least resistance. This past week has been embarrassing for the GOP. Mitch McConnell, heralded as a brilliant strategist by some, negotiated a two-month extension of the payroll tax holiday with enough changes from the present tax holiday that small businesses discovered they would be unable to even implement the changes before the tax holiday expires in two months. The House of Representatives made clear that it would oppose a two month extension because it kept uncertainty in the economy, businesses could not even take advantage of it anyway, and the tax holiday was paid for with permanent fee increases on people buying houses. Then they caved after a bit of a spectacle. Embarrassing. But if you think that is embarrassing, consider what's next on Congress's agenda. Republicans and Democrats are joining together in bipartisan legislation to stop online piracy on the internet. The legislation, authored by Rep. Lamar Smith (R.-Texas) and co-sponsored by such diverse congress critters as Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R.-Tenn.) and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D.-Fla.), would allow... Read more →

Dingo, a German shepherd, was struck by the snake as he searched the woods during a Dec. 5 training exercise here, said Marine Corps Cpl. Stacy K. Chester, a military working dog handler and Dingo's partner. "When I noticed his leg, I called him off to take a look," Chester said. "It had begun swelling, and I immediately rushed him to the vet." Chester said when he got Dingo to the base's veterinarian, Marine Corps Capt. Curtis R. Cline, they began to shave off the hair on Dingo's injured leg and found a second puncture wound indicating that Dingo had been bitten by a snake. The vet's assistants called the local area looking... Read more →

Use of massage device may cause serious health risks The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers again not to use the ShoulderFlex Massager, imported by King International and sold by various companies, due to serious potential health risks. The ShoulderFlex Massager is a personal massage device sold in retail stores, catalogs and over the Internet. It is intended to provide users with a deep tissue massage to the neck, shoulders and back area while lying down. Hair, clothing or jewelry can become entangled in the ShoulderFlex Massager and cause serious injury or even death from strangulation. There have been reports of one death and one near death, due to strangulation, associated with the use of this device. "The ShoulderFlex Massager poses serious risks. Consumers should stop using this device, health care providers should not recommend it to their patients and businesses should stop distributing and selling the device," said Steve Silverman, director of the Office of Compliance in the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health. King International recalled the ShoulderFlex Massager on Aug. 31, 2011; however, during a recent compliance audit, the FDA found that the company has gone out of business. King International has not followed... Read more →

Every year, our diocesan employees hold an Advent day of recollection, during which we reflect together, via prayer, discussion and liturgy, about how best to prepare for the coming of the Lord at Christmas. This year’s theme was immigration and the Church’s special role in the care and welcoming of migrants of all kinds. Some might wonder if that theme, connected to this season, is a bit of a stretch. But upon further reflection the two are tightly linked. At Christmas, we celebrate God, through Jesus, taking on human nature. And the Scriptures tell us this occurred at a particular point of history and under the humblest of circumstances. Image via Wikipedia Sometimes it’s important to read the story anew, as if hearing it for the first time, not overwhelmed by the sentiments nurtured over so many seasons. When we do so in the Gospel accounts of Luke and Matthew, we are struck by how uncomfortable the scene is, how the main players in this story were unable to control all kinds of circumstances. Luke’s Gospel tells us there was no room at the inn for the Holy Family. Matthew tells us about how the baby Jesus was a perceived... Read more →

Potter and Ellis Street Construction Completed The Camden County Department of Public Works has completed roadway and streetscape improvements at the intersection of Potter (CR 644) and Ellis (CR 561) Streets in Haddonfield. “We are proud that this project was completed early and under budget,” said Freeholder Ian Leonard, liaison to the Camden County Department of Public Works. “This project benefits residents in both Haddonfield Borough and Cherry Hill Township due to its location at the border of the two municipalities.” The $2.3 million project included the installation of a new traffic signal, repaving of intersection approaches and the construction of new turning lanes. New curbing with ADA compliant curb cuts and ramps were installed, along with new storm water grates and streetscape improvements. “The County is happy to work closely with municipalities to complete this much-needed roadwork projects,” said Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli, Jr. Camden County Winter Concert Series When it gets cold, the stage heats up.

By Anne Forline (special to CNBNews.Net) Each year, B101 holds its annual Christmas Choir Contest where local Philadelphia-area schools vie for a shot at hearing their song played on the radio while hoping to score some big prizes. This year’s first place winner was Mullica Hill’s Clearview Regional High School, who took home the $5,000 prize for their song “Joy to the World” and they also won the opportunity to perform with the Philly Pops. But finishing in an impressive third place out of a field of 250 entrants were the Overtones from Overbrook High School in Pine Hill with “English Carol Melody.” For placing third, the Overtones were awarded a $1,000 prize. Director of Choirs, Art McKenzie said they entered last year’s contest, but they weren’t selected to make it to the semi-finals. In early November, he decided to try again. For this year’s entry, Mr. McKenzie chose “English Carol Melody” because he felt it had “a little bit of everything.” Since the school doesn’t have its own recording studio, Mr. McKenzie used a small CD recorder in his classroom to get the job done. He submitted their first take. “That's the one that the balance between the track... Read more →

Notes from the Field, by Gary Devine December 14, 2011-Whitey travels the woods and farms in Southwestern New Jersey. This is very rare seeing him during the day. The photo was taken with my field camera that is hanging nearby on a tree. Whitey has eight points and last year he had four points. If he makes through the upcoming muzzleloader he should be a 10-pointer by the fall of 2012. Speaking of muzzleloader season it begins January 2. The following notice was posted on the state's Fish and Game website Muzzleloader Season Continues January 2 in Most Zones December 20, 2011 The NJDEP Division of Fish and Wildlife is notifying purchasers of muzzleloader deer permits for zones covered by Regulation Sets 2, 3, 3A, 4, 6 and 8 that the season continues on Monday, January 2, 2012. A typographical error in the 2011-12 Hunting Digest for Regulation Sets 4, 6 and 8 erroneously lists January 3. GARY DEVINE PHOTO, nice buck hiding in southwestern New Jersey Hunters are reminded that 2011-2012 Muzzleloader Season permits for zones that remain open are valid into next year, but a 2012 hunting license is required to hunt any permit deer season that extends...

Washington, D.C. – Lecherous lawmakers, a deadbeat dad, and absentee agencies made Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington’s (CREW) annual list of the year’s top political scandals.

Some observers think that President Obama’s awful record should make it easy for any of the GOP candidates to beat him. That’s a dangerous delusion. No incumbent should ever be underestimated, especially one the media loves. Also, each of the Republican candidates has proven highly adept at techniques for losing the 2012 election. Some have shown a tendency toward academic discussions that leave voters feeling as if they’ve dropped in on a college dorm-room bull session… or worse, as if the candidates might use them as subjects in a sociology lab experiment. Others have a dismaying tendency of forgetting the details of their own platforms, which leads voters to wonder how much the candidates really care about, or understand, the dramatic reforms they claim to support. The inevitable desire to "move to the center" during the general election will tempt some candidates to pick fights with the Republican base, in the mistaken belief they’re so unhappy with Obama that absolutely nothing could make them stay home on Election Day. Vigorous stated opposition to Obama’s policies, without a thorough understanding of why they are wrong, could open the GOP candidate to attack by swarms of media "fact-checking" piranha. President Obama is... Read more →

Congress Must Prohibit ‘Political Intelligence Consultants’ – as Well as Themselves – From Congressional Insider Trading WASHINGTON, D.C. – Public Citizen today sent a letter urging both the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate to move forward with the stalled “Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge” (STOCK) Act in the beginning of the new year and prevent it from being watered down while the legislation languishes. House Republican leaders, under the direction of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), have halted progress of the commonsense legislation, which would ban members of Congress, their staffs and others who do business with Congress from trading and profiting on insider information gathered during their official duties. Reps. Timothy Walz (D-Minn.) and Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.) are the lead proponents of this critical legislation (H.R. 1148), which has 239 co-sponsors and for which support grows daily. “Rep. Cantor has publicly stated that he pulled the legislation to expand the measure, but the stalling is providing lobbyists and others with precious time to weaken the bills,” said Craig Holman, government affairs lobbyist for Public Citizen. One key provision that would prohibit “political intelligence consultants” – lobbyists and stock brokers who develop close working relations with those... Read more →

On the front page of the White House’s website, a clock slowly ticks away, second by second, counting down to the day, hour, minute, and second that the nation’s payroll tax “holiday” expires and the American people get socked right where it counts — in the pocket book. And just next to that clock is a message laying the blame squarely on the House of Representatives. But today the real culprit in this debacle is the U.S. Senate which, right now, is home for the holidays already, celebrating with family while Washington sits in a stalemate. In a rare appearance in the White House press room yesterday, President Barack Obama reiterated his message, blaming Washington’s inaction on “a faction of Republicans in the House” and their “refusal to cooperate” with the Senate — as if it’s the job of Members of Congress to go along and get along for the sake of advancing the President’s agenda, regardless of whether it’s the right move for America. read via blog.heritage.org Read more →
