I think the Gloucester City Street Department did a fine job clearing our streets Friday into Saturday. It seems the whole town was worked on, not just selected neighborhoods. It\’s great to see our city workers doing their jobs.

NOw, how about getting rid of all the ice and snow you plowed INTO our cars and curbs instead of AWAY from them? How about spending a few hours on Monday while we are all at work and clear the several feet in front of our homes and our local businesses?

You have created a hazardous situation with the way you directed the removal of ice from the middle of our streeets. Thank you!

The dog named \”Scotty\” escaped from his kennel on Sunday morning between the hours of 3:30 and 7:30 a.m. in the area of Martin\’s Lake and Greenwood Avenue.

The searched continued today, Monday with the help of a New Jersey State Police Helicopter. While the helicopter searched above, local police and volunteers were seen walking the streets of Gloucester City looking for the dog.

Police are asking the public for their help. They also warn the public that the dog could pose a danger if not handled correctly.

The dog is friendly with people, however police caution that if you put him in your car, then try to take him out, he could become aggressive because he thinks that he\’s working.

The 3-year-old German Shepherd is black, with some brown on his tail, is wearing a silver choke chain.

If you spot Scotty, you are asked to call Gloucester City police dispatchers at (856)456-0900 or (856) 456-7797.

 The Mount Ephraim Board of Commissioners held the monthly general meeting on Thursday, March 1, 2007. The meeting started with the swearing in of Dean Siminara as Chief Financial Officer/ Treasurer for the borough.

 

The board passed a resolution declaring March as \”Women\’s History Month\”.

 

The board passed an ordinance raising the fee that it collects for licensing dogs and late fee\’s associated with the same in the borough. This is taking place to make the process self-sufficient.

 

The Mayor received several complaints in the past month regarding the construction truck entrance and exit at the Walgreen\’s site. Mayor Reader had borough officials contact the construction manager to discuss the situation. The gentlemen came to an agreement that they would re-route certain construction trucks to enter and exit on the Kings Highway side. One of the major complaints was the amount of dirt that was being tracked onto the surrounding streets of the site.

 

The construction manager a-greed that they would run the company\’s street sweeper as needed to maintain the cleanliness of the surrounding streets.

 

 Borough officials have contacted PSE&G again to check on the status of the connection of the traffic lights at West Kings Highway and Market Street. PSE&G advised the borough that they would be connected and operational by the end of the month.

 

Mayor Reader then read the monthly police report for February; The Mount Ephraim Police received 468 calls, 314 of them were assigned a case number for record purposes or to be further investigated. The borough police officers spent 34 hours and 33 minutes during the month handling calls and on paperwork at the Budget Inn. The Mayor stated that this issue is being closely monitored each month. We at the NEWS are hoping to have more information on this subject as it becomes available in the near future.

The Mount Ephraim Fire Department responded to 31 calls in February and conducted 3 drills. The total hours spent answering calls for the month was 337 hours and 67 minutes and the total hours answering calls year-to-date is 2,231 and 23 minutes. The total drills for the month of February was 3 and the total drills year-to-date is 11. (Note: The MEFD\’s year starts in October and ends in September). The MEFD\’s new rescue truck – Rescue 455 is receiving some finishing touches and then needs to be re-equipped. Once these two items take place, then the members will be trained on this new piece of apparatus and it will be ready to be placed into service. Rescue 455 is expected to be placed into service within the next month and a half to two months.

Before concluding the monthly meeting, Mayor Reader announced that copies of the borough\’s Analysis of Tax Rates for the Years 2001 through 2006 are now available in the tax office. The next meeting will be held at 8 p.m. Thursday, April 5, 2007 in the Borough Hall located at 131 South Black Horse Pike.
