Philadelphia Inquirer)Two South Jersey men were killed yesterday Friday, November 10, in separate fiery accidents.

Shaun Kelly, 27, of Woodbury, was speeding northbound on Interstate 295 in a 2004 Mazda shortly after 12:30 a.m. when he lost control of the sports car in Westville. It careered 40 feet into the woods, overturned, and erupted into flames.

Kelly was found dead, trapped in the vehicle, by firefighters who arrived to extinguish the blaze. When the owner of the car was notified it had been destroyed, he was surprised to learn it had been borrowed by his friend Kelly without his knowledge, said Sgt. Stephen Jones, a state police spokesman.

Gloucester Police car ticketed for parking violation

OOPS! YOU CAUGHT ME-Gloucester City's "Meter Maid" plays no favorites when it comes to giving out parking tickets. In fact as you can see by the photo (s), even if the car belongs to the City's Police Department, and it is parked illegally it will be ticketed!

My question? Who pays the ticket? The taxpayers or the patrolman who parked the car in front of his home? I

Junk yard?

A resident in the 400 block of Ridgeway Street , Gloucester City, says he has been complaining to City officials about having to look at a trash dump behind some homes in the 100 unit block of South Sussex Street for years. He said there are times when the property owners don't put their trash out for pickup for weeks at a time. He added, " when they do put it out they block my driveway so I can't move my car."

The trash along with the other violations are located in the backyard (s) of several homes that border his property.

One property has a broken rain cutter flapping about from the back porch of the house. At another property it appears as if there is an electrical wire that was illegally installed just fluttering in the wind. If it is a "live wire" you are looking at a potential fire hazard.

Joseph Stecklair , of the Gloucester City Housing Code Enforcement Office, contacted on Tuesday, November 21, said he is aware of the conditions. "Our office is working on the problem(s)."

Photos of these violations were send to the attention of Mr. Stecklair, following the telephone conversation with a City News reporter.
