I am a resident here in Gloucester City, have been for a little over three years now. My husband and I moved here after our one son passed away, and we were finding out that our daughter was Autistic. New Jersey is one of the top two states in the country for Autism support, so we decided to call Gloucester City home.

Since moving here my daughter has received top notch therapy from Early Intervention through Our Lady of Lourdes. Once she reached the age of three, she then went on to Cold Springs School and was enrolled in their Special Ed Pre-K program where she progressed tremendously.

Mayor William James and City Council approved an ordinance last week relating to Chapter 15 of the Gloucester City code entitled Alcoholic Beverages.

The ordinance will allow bars and saloons to serve breakfast and brunch on Sunday mornings.

Currently, establishments are not permitted to open, or sell alcohol, until 1 p.m. on Sundays.

With the new law, they will still not be allowed to serve alcohol until the specified time of 1 p.m., as allowed in the City code.

During a combined caucus session and regular meeting, the Gloucester City Board of Education at their recent meeting approved a contract adjustment for School Superintendent Paul Spaventa and Business Administrator Margaret McDonnell.

The adjustment will allow the two to carry over as much as 10 days of personal and sick time, instead of the five-day maximum that is currently in the contract.

During reports, Public Information Officer Lynda Lathrop noted that the district has received grant monies which will provide fresh fruit and vegetable snacks for students at Cold Springs School, as well as two kiosks to distribute the healthy goodies.

Board members also worked on completing a board self-evaluation and, prior to the meeting, interviewed prospective candidates to fill the vacant seat on the Board created by the resignation of former member Ray Coxe last month.

The Board will meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday, August 11, in the Gloucester City High School Media Center.
