GLOUCESTER CITY-Neither the Highland nor Gloucester Catholic high school football teams were pleased heading into halftime of their Tri-County Conference Royal Division contest with zeroes on the scoreboard, despite the fact that on the surface there was little to play for beyond the win itself.

The Rams found their purpose and came out with new life in the second half, and the Tartans were just left searching.

The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance (USSA) fights daily for your rights to enjoy the outdoors. Of course, we can\’t and have not accomplished this alone. We have been blessed with a legion of volunteers who have stepped to the plate to fight for their rights. As the threats to our heritage mount, so is our need for help.

That is why we are looking for new field volunteers to represent us at the local level. These volunteers are called Local Field Directors (LFD) and experience is not needed, just a strong desire to represent the outdoor lifestyle.

LFDs work to promote the USSA in their local areas and states. Beyond getting their expenses covered and a small stipend, LFDs represent the front line in our fights and in our efforts to bring new sportsmen into the field. They conduct club visits, help to rally sportsmen when major issues come up, work booths at local shows and fairs and assist with other local USSA projects.

The LFD program also plays a key role in the coordination of Trailblazer Adventure Day programs around the country. Trailblazer has introduced over 900,000 youth and their families to an outdoor lifestyle of shooting, hunting, fishing and trapping since launching in 2001.

LFDs who meet criteria will be invited to a national training meeting to be held in early 2010.

If you want to get on the front lines to promote and defend our heritage, The USSA needs YOUR help. For more information, contact Frank Price at [email protected] or call 614-888-4868 x 202.

To celebrate National Adoption Day, which is Saturday, November 21, the Camden County Surrogate’s Court sponsors three events, two expos on adoption, open to the public, and one event, in conjunction with the Superior Court, to celebrate adoptive families by finalizing 200 hundred adoptions in a single day, followed by lunch and dessert served by the Surrogate’s office and the judges and the staff of Superior Court.

Camden County surrogate, Patricia Jones, says these events help to underscore the importance of adoptions as well as celebrating adoptions with the families.

For the last four years, the Camden County Surrogate’s Court has sponsored an Adoption Expo at the Cherry Hill Mall and the Mall at Voorhees Town Center.

It will take place at Cherry Hill Mall on Saturday, November 14th in the Grand Court from 11 a.m.-4 p.m., and at The Mall at Voorhees Town Center on Sunday, November 15th in Boscov’s Court from noon-3 p.m.

Representatives from the NJ Department of Children and Families and a host of private adoption agencies will be on hand to distribute literature, answer questions and tell people why adoption works, and how to begin the process.

On Friday, November 20, the Camden County Surrogate’s Court will celebrate National Adoption Day by finalizing the adoptions of a number of children in a single day. Between 25-35 families are expected to attend. Adoptions reflect adoptions of babies to older children and teens who have been in foster care.

The Surrogate will host a luncheon from noon- 1p.m. for all families, agency representatives, attorneys and judicial staff. The families will then move to the Hall of Justice for a dessert reception in the Jury Assembly Room on the lower level.

The Surrogate’s Office gives all the children who attend books. The Superior Court justices give all the children teddy bears and certificates.

Surrogate Jones, Superior Court Judge Charles Rand who is the presiding judge of the Family Division of Superior Court, and Judges Octavia Melendez and Charles W. Dortch, Jr. are leaders in this annual event. Judge Melendez was a lawyer at DYFS before becoming a Superior Court judge.

GLOUCESTER CITY
The Holy Cross field hockey team accomplished something on Friday afternoon no other team has done this season: Beat Gloucester. The Lancers got the 1-0 upset victory over host Gloucester, as the only shot they took in the second half found its way into the goal cage in a Central Jersey Group 1 semifinal.

Marissa DePativo took a feed from Kathleen Walsh and tipped it into the left corner of the goal cage with 17:09 left in the game and the lone score held up as fourth-seeded Holy Cross earned the victory over top-seeded Gloucester, which ends the season at 18-1-1.
