Member of SJ baseball dynasty killed in car accident

| Philadelphia Daily News | 06/21/2010 By Jason Nark

No South Jersey family has invested more of their lives in baseball than the Barths. And yesterday the sport gave them a few hours back, a doubleheader against West Deptford, a small reprieve from the tragedy that struck them earlier in the day. Authorities say that Bob Barth, 59, of Winslow Township, a longtime high-school teacher who coached baseball and basketball for decades in South Jersey, was traveling north on Route 42 in Bellmawr, Camden County, around 6:30 a.m. when his Mercury Mariner struck an abandoned vehicle near the Creek Road exit. New Jersey State Police said that Barth was ejected from the vehicle, which flipped over when he struck the car, and that he was not wearing a seatbelt. He was pronounced dead shortly afterward at Cooper University Hospital. Police did not say how the accident happened, but family members believe that Barth may have had a seizure or some other medical emergency.

They all knew where he was going.

A SMALL INVESTMENT IS PAYING OFF

\"clip_image001\"By CNBNews.net

The City of Gloucester City is the proud owner of a snow cone bike purchased recently for $150 by Councilman Nick Marchese. As for the naysayers who are complaining it was a waste of money, Marchese writes,

\”I purchased the bike at a yard sale in Cypress Gardens for a $150. I wanted to use the bike to earn money for our Celebrations Committee. We had Public Works, \”Spags\” clean up the bike and paint it and at the last minute Jack Hughes agreed to ride it in the Memorial Day parade. The great part was that Brain Freeze from Brooklawn who recently purchased the hot dog cart at the marina agreed to donate water ice, sell it out of our bike, and we donated the money made to the VFW and the American Legion. There were some who were naysayers about purchasing the bike saying what you will do with this bike. Since then we found out the bike could be worth more than $1,500.

We will use the bike at various events throughout the year to earn money to save tax dollars on celebration events. I thank the people for selling the City the bike at a reasonable price. Sometimes even when people think things are a bad idea, they turn out better than you thought, as long as you’re willing to take a chance.\”
