TIPS AND SNIPPETS

BY Bill Cleary

A complaint filed on March 27, 2007 in United States District Court, District of NJ against the City of Gloucester City, Gloucester City Police Department, Gloucester City Police Chief William Crothers and Officer Joseph Eller and John Does 1 to 6 is scheduled for a status conference on Friday, January 23.

$\"Notebook_and_pen\"$ The plaintiff, Edward Boscoe of the 500 unit block of Ridgeway Street, is suing the parties above alleging that the police used excessive force during an incident in 2005.

According to court documents on March 28, 2005, in the early morning hours, Plaintiff awoke in his residence to let his dog out. His dog began to bark, leading Plaintiff to suspect that he should check outside his residence.

Police: Bomb threat on NJ turnpike not credible

– Houston Chronicle.

WOODBURY HEIGHTS, N.J. — A bomb scare shut down a 30-mile stretch of the New Jersey Turnpike on Tuesday night, snarling traffic for hours before state police determined the threat was not credible. State police spokesman Sgt. Stephen Jones said troopers took a 27-year-old Massachusetts man into custody following a car stop around 6:15 p.m. Tuesday in the southbound lanes of the turnpike in Woodbury Heights about six miles south of Exit 3.

Today\’s Poem: When I Get Lost in This World

Written by Macey Cropski- 6th Grade St. Mary Grammar School, Gloucester City NJ

www.smshope.org

When I get lost in this world

Things come out at night

Scary, goofy, cool things, that gives me a big old fright

I sit I stare and wonder what might,

What might they do tonight

Will they come and stay with me, or play with me, keep away with me

What will I sight

When I get lost in this world

I open new doors

I jump in and catch new things,

Floorid, poorids, forsurids

They dance and play with wings

When I get lost in the world

Made up things pop out

I scream, I pout, then I shout

What, what I say to myself,

Oh what can they be

My mom, my school, or the swimming pool

Or is it just me.

I AM YOUR PUPPY

$\"122907_0313_PetTipsbyAl1\"$

By J. Ellis – Southern Shadows Rottweilers

I am your Puppy, and I will love you until the end of the Earth, but please know a few things about me.

PHOTO: RILEY WOODS

I am a Puppy, this means that my intelligence and capacity for learning are the same as an 8-month-old child.

I am a Puppy; I will chew EVERYTHING I can get my teeth on. This is how I explore and learn about the world.

Even HUMAN children put things in their mouths. It\’s up to you to guide me to what is mine to chew and what is not.

I am a Puppy; I cannot hold my bladder for longer than 1 – 2 hours. I cannot \”feel\” $\"Darbu\"$ that I need to poop until it is actually beginning to come out. I cannot vocalize nor tell you that I need to go, and I cannot have \”bladder and bowel control\” until 6 – 9 months. Do not punish me if you have not let me out for 3 hours and I tinkle. It is your falult. As a Puppy, it is wise to remember that I NEED to go potty after: Eating, Sleeping, playing, Drinking and around every 2 – 3 hours in addition. If you want me to sleep through the night, then do not give me water after 7 or 8 p.m. A crate will help me learn to housebreak easier, and will avoid you being mad at me. I am a Puppy, accidents WILL happen, please be patient with me! In time I will learn.

When is Halloween?

When carved pumpkins gleam
And wicked witches scream
When scary monsters creep
And black spiders leap
Then itʼs Halloween!
