Letter: Captain Paul Apologizes to Children

$\"6a00d8341bf7d953ef01157153a790970b-200wi\"$ On behalf of the Fire Department, I would like to apologize to those areas of Gloucester City that did not get the chance to have Santa come there way. Due to the snow storm, we were unable to transport Santa safely to some areas of the City.

Because of this safety risk, we felt it was in everybody’s best interest to cancel the Saturday and Sunday schedule.

The Fire Department membership is down and it is getting tougher each year to keep this tradition alive. I reached out with Councilman Bruce Parry’s help to other organizations who were very willing to help this cause.

Although weather did not allow us to complete our task this year, I would still like to thank all the organizations who were ready and willing to help keep this tradition alive and they are as follows: Lions Club, Little League, Girls Softball, Mustangs Football, Democrat Club, Mayor and Council, and the PBA.

Captain Shawn Paul, Gloucester City Fire Department

Brooklawn Council Selects Branella as President

By Sara Martino

NEWS Correspondent

Theresa Branella and Ryan Giles were installed as re-elected Brooklawn Borough Council members during the reorganization meeting January 4, following the Pledge of Allegiance led by Mayor John Soubasis.

Camden County Freeholder Ian Leonard officiated at the swearing-in ceremony, administrating the oath of office to both council members. Branella was selected by her peers to serve as Council President.

Soubasis thanked the freeholder for his concern for Brooklawn.

\”Ian always works in our direction,\” he said.

Leonard’s office is at the same location in the Brooklawn Shopping Center that housed former Assemblyman Joseph Roberts.

\”It is sad to see Roberts step down. We are like the little train that could. We always got that little push when needed from our elected officials,\” the mayor said.

Committee assignments were formalized and meeting dates for 2010 were established. This month’s meeting date was changed to the fourth Monday, January 25, at 6:30 p.m. due to the Martin Luther King holiday.
