Link Pennsylvania Game and Fish
By Jeff Brown

Scot Brun\’s Westmoreland County non-typical 22-point monster scored 201 2/8 B&C points.

Back in 2001, the introduction of antler restrictions was met with pessimism among Keystone State hunters. Many of the state\’s \”expert\” hunters voiced skepticism and some fairly strong criticisms.

Yet during the past few years, Pennsylvania has produced an eye-popping crop of giant bucks, including some of the best in the Northeast.

During the 2007 rifle season, Pennsylvania hunters took 109,200 bucks — the lowest total buck harvest in 22 years. The overall deer harvest was down by 11 percent. continue

Coaches show they\’re good sports

Link: NJ.com.

As a result, Deptford was ready to insert freshman forward Amber Scott at keeper, and while Scott is a talented keeper, the move would have weakened the Spartans by removing Scott from the offensive attack.

By the time Franchi reached the sideline it was determined she was ready to re-enter the game. But since she was taken off the field, she was not eligible to return until Deptford had a possession during a stoppage of play.

Rather than take advantage of a weakened opponent, Williamstown coach Dan Torcasio instructed Braves\’ midfielder Shea Levi to kick the ball out of bounds on the restart, which would allow Franchi to return to net.

Six catches for over 230 yards and three TDs will get you there, though.

Gloucester City High School Moving On Up!

Media Release

Gloucester City High School has reason to be proud, being listed as an \” on the move\” school.

Since 1994, New Jersey Monthly, a magazine that caters to the needs of the Garden State, has produced a biennial ranking of public and charter schools.

The resulting ranking is part of the most comprehensive education package the magazine has ever produced, including the value of Advanced Placement classes and the dilemma posed by alternative paths to a high school diploma.

The magazine also composed a list of high schools they label \”On the Move,\” giving the top 10 schools \”A\’s\” for improvement.

Gloucester City Junior Senior High School (GHS) made that prestigious list of 10, by earning a significant spike in its ranking as compared to 2006.

GHS improved its ranking by 57 places.

Taken into account was average class size, the average SAT score, number and scores of AP tests taken, graduation rate and number of faculty with advanced degrees.

Significant academic and programmatic progress has been made at GHS, and it is reflected in both its statewide and county ranking.

\”Congratulations to the students, faculty, administration and Board of Education for their fine efforts,\” Spokesperson Lynda Lathrop said.

GHS\’s ranking, in order, compared to other Camden County high schools, is as follows:

Haddonfield (number one) Cherry Hill East, Brimm Medical Arts, Easter Regional, Haddon Township, Cherry Hill West, Haddon Heights, Gloucester City (number eight), Audubon (number nine), and Creative and Performing Arts.

Gloucester City: School District Strategic Planning

The Gloucester City School District is hosting the first of its strategic planning meetings on September 24, at 7 pm in the ME Costello School Auditorium. The District has embarked on creating a strategic plan for the schools.

Gloucester City Board of Education has contracted with NJ School Board Associates to facilitate the process. The process will include creating a vision for the future of Gloucester City Public Schools and managing toward that expectation. The finalized plan will involve operating under a mission statement umbrella that focuses the District\’s efforts. It is also an effective process to align short term decisions with long term goals.

Three big questions will be asked of those who volunteer to work on this plan: Where are we (the school district) today, where do we want to be in the future and what should we be focused on in order to make sure we get there? Community wide input is needed for this process to be effective. This initial \”kick off\” is designed to explain and define the process, the roles and the timelines in order to gain community understanding and commitment.

The meeting is open to all residents.

For more information, call the Office of Public Information at (856) 456-7000 ext 2153.

City, tenants must compromise on rent

Link: Courier-Post.

Major work is clearly needed at the Chatham Square apartments, now owned by Gloucester City.

Clearly there are problems at the Chatham Square apartment complex. Why else would only 42 of 100 apartments be occupied?

Before the city starts evicting tenants for not paying their rent however, both sides need to take a breath and find a compromise.

O’Donnell’s Restaurant Serving the public 85 Years

By Albert Countryman Jr.

GLOUCESTER CITY NJ Life goes by so quickly – and technology changes so rapidly – it can be a struggle just to keep pace. In our instant gratification society, where hi-speed computers and split second decisions are valued, people tend to forget the simple pleasures of life.

Yet, for 85 years and counting, Gloucester City residents have enjoyed the simple pleasure of a great meal at O\’Donnell\’s Restaurant.

Boxing legend \”KO\” Joe O\’Donnell, onetime light-weight \”Champion of the World,\” first opened the doors of O\’Donnell\’s in 1923.

His legacy of quality food and a family atmosphere has continued.
