Lions topple York to win Coaches vs. Cancer Classic

York, PA… Three, consecutive three-pointers to open the second half propelled The College of New Jersey women’s basketball team to a 64-49 triumph over York (PA) College in the Hampton Inn Coaches vs. Cancer Classic hosted by York.
Holding a 28-23 halftime lead, sophomore Hannah Tait (Staten Island, NY/Notre Dame Academy), senior Karen Lassoni (East Rutherford, NJ/Becton Regional), and junior Keri Washington (Ewing, NJ/Pennington Prep) drained shots from long range as the Lions (6-6, -02 NJAC) delivered a knockout punch less than two minutes after the break. The Spartans never fully recovered as TCNJ’s active defense wreaked havoc on the tournament host.

$\"Always$

York (5-5, 1-1) cut the lead to eight points with 16:31 remaining, but Tait hit her next three shots to spark a 9-1 run to extend the Lions lead to 16 points.
Tait led all scorers with 14 points and also grabbed seven boards. Junior Kelsey Kutch

CHEERS AND JEERS FOR DECEMBER ‘09

By Bill Cleary

CHEER-In these very troubled times when people are having a tough time keeping a roof $\"6a00d8341bf7d953ef011571114c5a970c-800wi\"$ overhead and food on the table, there have been countless acts of generosity by both groups and organizations as well as individuals to make someone less fortunate have a merry Christmas, it is these acts of selfless kindness towards our fellow human beings in a time of need that renews my faith in both God and mankind, and to all who gave, Thank You.

JEER- Why close the perfectly good state prison in Camden City and then build a very costly new one only about a mile away? Sounds like someone has plans to make big money on the redevelopment of that land. It won\’t shock me to find out that some politicians would profit from this also, if you want the truth in politics, follow the money.

CHEER-Each December the Gloucester City volunteer firemen drive a fire truck with Santa Claus on top handing out candy canes to kids in the community. Even though the ranks of the volunteers have been depleted those that remain continue the tradition. This year members of council along with members of other local organizations came forward to lend the volunteers a hand. Kudos to those involved.

JEER-It was a shock this month to learn that the Camden County Freeholders Board’s is

Lions cut down Delaware Valley 71-61

1/4/2010 10:16:38 PM

Senior Jay Frank

Box score
Doylestown, PA… The College of New Jersey men’s basketball team used a stifling defensive performance in the first-half to spark a 71-61 win over Delaware Valley College.
The victory snapped a four-game skid pulling the Lions (5-5, 0-2 NJAC) back to the .500 mark.
Senior Jay Frank (Brick, NJ/Brick) had his best game in a month scoring 20 points, dishing out seven assists, and grabbing 6 rebounds. Senior Aaron Syvertsen (Midland Park, NJ/Midland Park) also bucketed 20 points on 9-of-17 shooting.
Head coach Kelly Williams has stressed that his squad needs to play relentless defense for 40 minutes to return to their winning ways. Taking the court for the first game in 17 days, TCNJ did just that as Delaware Valley (5-5, 1-1 MAC) managed just 20 first-half shots while the Lions forced 15 DelVal turnovers. Playing perhaps their best half of the season, TCNJ led 29-18 at the intermission.
A critical component to the Lions defensive game-plan was to contain junior guard James Jones (Philadelphia, PA/Edward Bok Tech). Jones entered the game averaging 18.9 points per game including a 30-point performance in his last contest against Rowan University. TCNJ not only contained James, but nearly eliminated him in the opening period. James was held without a shot until he missed a lay-up with 1:27 remaining. Jones did rebound in the second half to finish with 11 points.

New Jersey: Assembly Judiciary Committee Passes Misleading One-Gun-A-Month Reform Bill!

$\"Email185_banner995\"$
Please Contact your Assembly Person Today!

Today, the New Jersey Assembly Judiciary Committee voted unanimously 6 to 0 to approve S3104/A4361, which was drafted in response to recommendations put forth by the Firearms Task Force created after the midnight passage of New Jersey\’s gun rationing law.

The bill is now scheduled for a vote before the full Assembly on January 7. If passed, it will head to the desk of Governor Corzine (D) for his consideration.

Proponents contend this measure would address the problems with New Jersey\’s \”one-gun-a-month\” law; however, it falls far short. While it would, in limited circumstances, allow a law-abiding person to purchase multiple handguns, an individual would only be able to do so after filing a formal application with the State Police. In addition, the individual would need to justify their \”need\” to purchase these firearms together and why it would not be \”feasible or practical\” to purchase the firearms separately.

The notion that law-abiding citizens, thoroughly investigated by the state, should have to beg further permission and show why it is not \”feasible or practical\” to ration their Constitutional rights is offensive, insulting and represents another promise broken by the politicians involved in the Firearms Task Force.

Please contact your Assembly members and respectfully urge them to remove the language forcing law-abiding citizens who have cleared a background check to justify their multiple purchases. Click here to contact your Assembly member.
