unite the country in moving toward zero fatalities for one full day by encouraging motorists to obey all traffic laws, including buckling up, every ride; driving the posted speed limit; avoiding distractions while driving; and always being safe and sober behind the wheel.

Mob scene

by Jess Fuerst

After spending a half-century growing her family, a Packer Park resident turned her hobby into a novel that has big screen potential.

If people only have one life to live, Gibby Palmaccio is making the most of it.

The homemaker from Seventh and Federal streets started a second act in her life story more than a half-century in and she now can add author to her resumé.

\”I never dreamed it would be a book,\” the 78-year-old said of her debut \”La Casa Nostra.\” \”I just enjoyed it. I had the time now. When I was home, I was with my daughter almost every day. I just had time.\”

NJEA and News 12 New Jersey are seeking high school students who excel both academically and athletically. The NJEA/News 12 Scholar Athlete Recognition Program honors New Jersey high school seniors who are successful not only in the classroom, but on the court or on the field.

Thirty students will be selected based on nominations received from high schools around the state. Each week, the Scholar Athlete will be featured in a news segment on News 12 New Jersey. In June, the winners, their families, coaches, and teachers will be honored at a luncheon. One student will be selected as 2009-10 Scholar Athlete of the Year and receive a $1,000 scholarship.

The 2008-09 Scholar Athlete was Kevin O’Connor, a stand-out baseball player from Ramapo High School who entered Harvard University this fall.

To nominate a student, fill out this form. The form must be signed by the principal or guidance counselor, as well as the coach or athletic director. A News 12 sports panel will make the selection and notify the winners and their schools. The deadline for submissions is Feb. 19, 2010.

Academic rewards

by Amanda Snyder

Some youngsters received a special treat from a former NFL player who had an important message for the students of a Grays Ferry school Friday.

Noriel Martinez, of 28th and Mifflin streets, did not expect his name to be called.

The 12-year-old was one of 50 students from the school at 3200 Dickinson St. to receive a backpack filled with goodies from Tackling Together, a Cherry Hill, N.J.-based nonprofit.

Barrett Brooks, a former Philadelphia Eagle, visited Friday afternoon with 50 bags packed with school supplies he doled out to the top students of each grade.

LETTERS: Free Grand Piano

Dear Mr. Cleary and town of Gloucester City:

Several weeks ago my husband and I offered the town of Gloucester City our Wurlitzer

$\"LettersToTheEditor1\"$

upright grand piano to a school or organization that would put it to good use. While we did get one response that individual did not answer our emails and so we feel we must move on.

If there is a school or organization in the city that could use a piano and matching bench please drop us a line at 700 Market Street or email us at [email protected] or [email protected].

We will keep the community posted!

Many thanks,
Dawn and Dan Watson
