William E. Cleary Sr. | CNBNews gloucestercitynews.net graphic files **CHEER** – We often discuss the lack of community pride in Gloucester City, but we have not acknowledged the two individuals who consistently contribute to the community, such as Patty Heiser and Joyce Calzonetti. Recently, at Market and Baynes Avenue, we witnessed Patty picking up litter while pushing a baby carriage. A young child was walking alongside her, holding onto the carriage as she collected trash in a plastic bag. Several years ago, we were driving into Gloucester City from Brooklawn early on a Saturday morning when we spotted Joyce Calzonetti collecting litter and placing it in a bag in the trunk of her car. When we stopped to ask Joyce why she was spending her time picking up trash, she simply shrugged and replied, "It's just something I do."

As time allows, the remaining reports for 2024 will be released in the upcoming weeks, along with current reports throughout the following year.

Ephraim, and Westville, would automatically forward their crime reports and press releases to CNBNews. Unfortunately, that is no longer the standard operating procedure for those agencies. The reports that are published, such as those from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Burlington County Prosecutor's Office, Camden County Prosecutor's Office, Cape... Read more →

November is National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month and Family Caregivers Month. To mark these moments, we’re encouraging people to lend a helping hand to the more than 700,000 family members and friends in Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania who serve as unpaid Alzheimer’s caregivers. If you are caring for a loved one with dementia, you can turn to the resources and support services offered by the Alzheimer’s Association. Whether you are a caregiver or you know someone who is, one of the easiest ways to make a difference is through education. Learn about Alzheimer’s disease—its symptoms, its progression and the common challenges caregivers face. The more you know, the easier it will be to find and offer help. A partial list of education offerings for November is below. Other ways to make a difference: Check in with a phone call, send a note or stop by for a visit. These... Read more →

TRENTON – The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) and City of Newark are pleased by the latest developments in an investigation by the U.S. Attorney’s Office that resulted in the arrests of two individuals who are charged with fraud by failing to fully replace lead service lines at sites that required remediation between 2019 and 2021. In January 2024, Newark and the NJDEP were advised of concerns that, in some cases, third parties hired to replace lead service lines in Newark may not have complied with all requirements for full line replacement (example: from the water meter inside a home to the water main in the street). In response, Newark and the NJDEP initiated an audit to identify affected properties and commence inspections to verify compliance with lead service line replacement requirements to ensure the continued safety of all residents. The audit, which began in January 2024, included... Read more →

by Andrew Burnett Senior Wildlife Biologist To the deer hunter, the arrival of autumn means hunting season has arrived. (In fact, in some zones the bow season actually opens before the autumnal equinox!) New Jersey’s largest game species with an open season is the white-tailed deer, and it is targeted by more hunters than any other species. Knowing the deer’s natural ways can increase the enjoyment of the sport and the chances of success. During the anterless permit seasons hunters may harvest fawns as well as mature bucks and does. (See the Hunting & Trapping Digest for specific regulations on each season and zone.) Fawns weigh approximately 7½ pounds at birth while adults average 100 pounds (females) to 150 pounds (males). Actual weights vary depending on habitat-type and quality, age of the animal and season of the year. The maximum life expectancy of a deer could exceed twenty years. (A... Read more →

William E. Cleary Sr. | CNBNews In a 2023 CNBNews photo, South Broadway approaching Brooklawn from Gloucester City is shown flooded recently due to a heavy rain storm. Are we asking the County Commissioners for too much by requesting a few more million to repave South Broadway in Gloucester City and New Broadway in Brooklawn? In 2012, the Freeholder Board (now known as Commissioners) promised to fix that road, also known as Camden County Route 551. Twelve years later, the public is still dealing with potholes and an impassable road that floods whenever there is a high tide or heavy rainfall. The five million dollars used to fix the bridge that connects those two communities in 2012 had no effect on the flooding of that stretch of highway. Recently, those commissioners announced that $11 million would be spent to fix Kings Highway, which is currently referred to by some as... Read more →

In a previous CNBNews editorial, we strongly condemned the Mayor and Council for their failure to hire a full-time City Administrator, a crucial position in any administration. We vehemently criticized the governing body for paying the current part-time City Administrator and part-time Police Chief, Brian Morrell, an excessively high salary of over $225,000. After our editorial was published Morrell lashed out at us in a telephone conversation. His tirade was filled with innuendos, screaming, personal attacks, and foul language. At the time, we wondered whether he was in immediate need of anger management. To be fair, Chief Brian Morrell's treatment of us paralleled the behavior of former Police Chief George Berglund before he retired. We published an article about a member of Berglund's family that first appeared in the Gloucester County Times, which triggered an irate response from him. He sent a letter of admonishment to the CNBNews Editor for... Read more →
