Yogi Berra said, “Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good too.” Talent may get you on the field, effort and attitude will keep you there.

The New York Yankees and Giants were racing for the pennant. He had spent his formative years in Woodbury and graduated...

The statement below is by Commissioners Jonathan Young and Al Dyer on behalf of the Cadmen County Board of Commissioners regarding the racist graffiti found in a residential neighborhood in the borough of Lawnside. “This weekend, in the historically black community of Lawnside, a resident was the victim of a racist attack and a hate crime. It was discovered that graffiti was spraypainted onto a fence that included a racial slur and offensive imagery. This was a shocking and disgusting display of hatred that has absolutely no place in Camden County. Lawnside is a beautiful town with a deep connection to the African American community, as it was the first independent, self-governing African American municipality north of the Mason–Dixon Line. And to see such a blatant attack on our Camden County community is frightening and appalling to say the least. As we have said, this hatred is completely unacceptable, and...

CNBNews graphics JEER—CNBNews, I wanted to bring to your attention some concerns about the situation on Thompson Ave. There is a house where the owner is turning the garage into an apartment without obtaining the necessary permits. The person connected electricity to the garage by using an extension cord from the house to the garage and buried the cord in the ground. For water, the man connected a garden hose from the cellar, ran it to the garage, and buried the hose in the ground. Both the electrical and water hookups seem unsafe to me.

Rep. Van Drew Questions Secretary Buttigieg on Offshore Wind This week, I had the opportunity to question Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg at a House Transportation and Infrastructure hearing. I questioned him on whether the Department of Transportation (DOT) was doing enough to ensure safety is a priority in areas where offshore wind farms are being constructed. Despite major concerns over maritime and aerial safety, these projects are being pushed forward before adequate safety impact studies have been conducted. I pressed Secretary Buttigieg to ensure safety is prioritized before proceeding with further construction. These projects will result in the permanent industrialization of our shores, so it is crucial that their impacts are thoroughly studied before any construction begins.
