Kudos to the Police Officers Who Did Their Job

To: Courier Post, Cherry Hill

Dear Editor:

I am very disappointed at the platform you gave the Johnson Family to assert that their son Naquan Johnson did not deserve $\"6a00d8341bf7d953ef011570df48d6970c-800wi\"$ to die. They talk of his gentleness and his kindness and his attempt to make a football team. They didn\’t mention the victims that he ASSAULTED, TASERED, RAPED AND SHOT. For these officers to go into unfamiliar ground in an attempt to arrest a MOST VIOLENT INDIVIDUAL should be applauded. That he chose to brandish a weapon and in effect caused the officers to respond with deadly force. Instead of your paper giving voice to people who raised and abetted violent people, better you should speak to the victims of these crimes. I am sure there are many other people such as myself offended by your coverage of this man and his family.

Two Connecticut Firefighters Killed in House Fire | Firehouse.com

7/24/2010 BY GENEVIEVE REILLY

Connecticut Post, Bridgeport

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — Lt. Steven Velazquez and Firefighter Michel Baik were on the $\"Angel_and_fireman_by_paperdragon1967\"$ third-floor of the wood-frame home at 41 Elmwood Ave., checking for hot spots and making sure there were no people in the smoldering blaze. Then trouble hit. The two sent mayday signals back to dispatch. Within minutes, the fire department\’s rapid intervention team found the pair on the floor, unconscious, and gave them CPR. The two men could not be revived. Hours later, a somber Mayor Bill Finch at a news conference talked about the two, both family men with young children. Velazquez was Finch\’s neighbor, and the mayor recalled pinning his badge on him when he was promoted to lieutenant in February. Baik, he said, was a rookie with two years on the job.

Letters: Gloucester City Resident Says Water Problem is Back

July 25, 2010

Bill,

Well its happening again. A couple weeks ago, our dog and cats were having what we thought were allergy problems only to $\"6a00d8341bf7d953ef011571942740970b-120wi\"$ find out the water again is contaminated. I stopped giving them the tap water and started using bottle water and they seem to be better. I have noticed when taking a shower or even a bath the water coming out of the faucet smells like chlorine and burns your eyes if you are taking a shower.

Well today my husband just used the water to tap off the fish pond and again we lost six of our fish. He had to go rush to the fish store and get some kind of charcoal which depletes the toxins in the water. Now he said he will do what he had done before and that was use a big trash can full of water, (which of course he did before and then was told he could not keep the water in a trashcan because it caused mosquitoes) which he said the toxins evaporate after a day so he can put the water in our fish pond. I am going to call Trenton tomorrow and find out what I can do to complain again since the Gloucester City Water turned down my paper work on getting some kind of monies back from the fish I lost last year. They don’t seem to care and I am not going to try and again argue with those idiots. I am going to see if I can talk with someone in Trenton. NJDEP and see if they can solve this.

It’s been a year since our other fish died and we have had fish since then. He has used GC water and now all of a sudden its happening again. And they claim it ok for human consumption. I disagree. We actually have been drinking bottled water as well and I do notice the taste is different. I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know.

Tips and Snippets: Goodbye Scott, Homeless Issue, Meadowbrook Mews Plan, Kudos to Firemen Union and City, McAllister Given Philly Contract

By Bill Cleary

GOODBYE SCOTT-An estimated 300 people attended the memorial service for Scott $\"6a00d8341bf7d953ef0111688fb252970c-120wi\"$ Bevan Saturday, July 24 held at Proprietors Park, King Street at the Delaware River, Gloucester City NJ. The outside temperature was 100 degrees but that didn\’t seem to bother those in attendance. Some standing others sitting in chairs. They wanted to be there close to other people who knew Scott, to support his family, to share stories, laugh a little and even cry.

Family members remembered the 43-year-old man who died of cancer (melanoma) on July 15. A moving eulogy by his brother Gregg had many of those in attendance in tears. The service ended with Gloucester City Mayor Bill James playing Amazing Grace on bagpipes.

Scott, a former resident of Gloucester City and Brooklawn, graduated from Gloucester
