Talk about teamwork! In the days leading up to the September 22nd wedding of Joey Schramn and Kelly Bain, Joey’s mom, Susan, was worried that her health problems would prevent her from being part of the “Big Day.” And, indeed, she was not able to attend – but that didn’t stop Sue from being there! Through great teamwork and a lot of coordination – Woodbury resident Sue, who is currently a patient at Jefferson Washington Township Hospital – was part of the wedding, as well as the fun-filled reception, via a live FaceTime feed! Dean Auer, the hospital’s Director of Patient Experience, took the lead role in helping make the “virtual” event perfect for the mother of the groom after he was tipped off to the situation by Lisa Morina, Jefferson in New Jersey VP of Marketing & External Relations.

Originally published April 2013 (CNBNews)--The South Jersey Times newspaper has been conducting a contest to find the best cheesesteaks in South Jersey. Their approach is to use a reader poll to identify the 2 best sandwiches in 5 regions, and then visit each location for the final showdown. Two very local restaurants are in the finals representing the Camden/Burlington County region. Gaetano's in Brooklawn, NJ Carmen's Deli in Bellmawr, NJ Carmen's Deli, which originally established its reputation with amazing hoagies, has come on strong in the Cheesesteak category since adding them years ago (sometime after I was a kid, but not too recently!). Their website mentions 25 overall awards, but one of the most notable awards was when the Food Network's Aaron McCargo (Big Daddy's House) appeared on one of their "Best things I ever ate" segments and chose Bellmawr's Carmen's Deli cheesesteaks as the best thing between bread.

Since the announcement of the Pennsylvania Grand Jury report and the allegations against Archbishop Theodore McCarrick, there has been great sorrow and anger toward the Church. Sadly, some of this hostility is well-earned. This rage and pain has rightly contributed to a rising crescendo of calls for swift investigation. Such is the case with the recent decision by the New Jersey Attorney General to review the five dioceses in the State to determine their compliance with the 2002 Memorandum of Understanding related to the reporting of clergy sex abuse. As I have stated often in the past, we work closely with all law enforcement and will comply with the requests of the task force. However, amidst a scandal this awful, there are also prayerful things we can do as a community of faith. These include the opportunity to ask God’s intervention that we may never forget our duty to protect... Read more →

(CNBNEWSNET)(SEPTEMBER 21, 2018)--The law enforcement arm of the U.S. Postal Service says it has “no record” of anyone officially requesting Virginia Democrat Abigail Spanberger’s official personnel file, despite the 2018 congressional candidate claiming a researcher working on behalf of her campaign submitted the request in December 2017. Spanberger, an ex-CIA officer who is challenging incumbent Republican Rep. Dave Brat in Virginia’s 7th District, and her allies have suggested that the improper release of her unredacted security clearance questionnaire from the USPS was part of a GOP-led effort to hurt her campaign, CNN reported Friday.

America Rising, a Republican research firm, obtained a copy of Spanberger’s questionnaire from the USPS through a Freedom of Information Act request. The file included... Read more →

Newswise — ANN ARBOR—(September 2018)(CNBNewsnet)--As childhood obesity rates rise and physical education offerings dwindle, elementary schools keep searching for ways to incorporate the federally mandated half-hour of physical activity into the school day. A series of recent University of Michigan studies found that two-minute bursts of in-class exercise breaks increased the amount of daily exercise for elementary children without hurting math performance. More importantly, when incorporated into classrooms across southeast Michigan, teachers found the breaks were doable and didn't disrupt learning. "What we're showing is that we can give kids an additional 16 minutes of health-enhancing physical activity," said Rebecca Hasson, principal investigator and one of the lead authors. Hasson, U-M associate professor of kinesiology and nutritional sciences, is the director of the Childhood Disparities Research Laboratory, which collaborated on the five studies with the U-M schools of public health, education, and architecture and urban planning, and Project Healthy Schools,...

NEW YORK, NY(September 2018)(CNBNewsnet)– Officers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) arrested 16 sexual predators during a 2-day period, ending Sep. 11 in New York City, the Hudson Valley and on Long Island, in an enforcement effort dubbed “Operation SOAR” (Sex Offender Alien Removal). In the course of Operation SOAR, ERO deportation officers apprehended 16 individuals with criminal histories related to sexual offenses. Of those arrested, 5 were previously released from local law enforcement on an active detainer. ICE places detainers on individuals who have been arrested on local criminal charges and who are suspected of being deportable, so that ICE can take custody of that person when he or she is released from local custody. When law enforcement agencies fail to honor immigration detainers and release serious criminal offenders onto the streets, it undermines ICE’s ability to protect public safety and carry out...

by New Jersey Sierra Club (NJ Sierra Club)(September 19, 2018)--Tomorrow the Assembly Telecommunications and Utilities will vote on a bill called the Vegetation Management Response Act. The bill, A2242 (DeAngelo), authorizes electric public utilities to clear, destroy and remove vegetation however they wish. We oppose this bill that gives utility companies the ability to destroy vegetation. “We oppose this bill that gives utility companies too much leeway. They could end up clearing important vegetation and harming environmentally sensitive areas. We need to protect power lines from trees but not allow for power companies to just clear-cut whatever they want. This bill also exempts utilities from local tree ordinances and shade tree commissions. This gives them a blanket to clear-cut anything they want. We need protective and selective cutting, not just open discretion,” said Jeff Tittel, Director of the New Jersey Sierra Club. “Vegetation removal can result in increased erosion and... Read more →
