Gloucester City News

\”There is no end to this road,\” thought Miss Christine Hartnett as she traveled on the NJ
turnpike August 10, 1955, in 102 degree weather after her arrival in the United States.

This was quite a change for someone originally from a small rural town of single lane dirt road in County Cork, Ireland.

Born on December 22 to Mary and Joseph Hartnett, the second of three children – Maurice, Christine, and Bridie—Miss Hartnett was on her way to stay with her uncle in America and continue her education.

In just three years Miss Hartnett would enter the convent of the Dominican Sisters of the Holy Rosary at their motherhouse in Newburgh, NY, as Sr. John Kathleen, O. P.

Gloucester City knows her as our very own Sr. Christine Hartnett.

Sister was baptized, received her first Holy Communion, and Confirmation at St. Catherine’s Church, Ballynoe, County Cork, Ireland. Her education began at Ballynoe National School, also in County Cork.

COUNTDOWN TO DEER SEASON HAS BEGUN

HARRISBURG – Pennsylvania’s only unofficial holiday – the Monday $\"6a00d8341bf7d953ef0115722fc9cc970b-320wi\"$ after Thanksgiving, which marks the opening day of the two-week general deer season – will feature nearly 750,000 individuals sporting fluorescent orange and camouflage clothing throughout Penn’s Woods, according to Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe.

\”Pennsylvania’s deer season has a dramatic and beneficial effect on the Commonwealth, as it provides hunters a chance to put venison in the freezer and stimulates a multi-million dollar economic surge that local businesses rely on,\” Roe said. \”In addition to being a rich part of our state’s heritage, deer season also is the most important method that the Game Commission has to manage Pennsylvania’s whitetails. The efforts of hunters are far-reaching, and they help

OVERVIEW: The Black Market in Bluefin – The Center for Public Integrity

$\"Homepage_Banner_Tuna\"$

Along the Mediterranean coast of France, in the city of Montpellier, prosecutors are quietly putting on trial an ancient French tradition — the fishing and trading of the majestic Eastern Atlantic bluefin tuna, a sushi delicacy sold in restaurants from New York to Tokyo. The still-secret proceedings accuse some of France’s most prominent fishing masters of illegally catching several hundred tons of the prized bluefin, a fish so severely plundered in the Mediterranean that this year it was proposed for listing as an endangered species alongside panda bears.

Bluefin tuna is one of the sea’s most valuable species, a highly migratory fish that can weigh more than 500 kilograms and live 40 years. One large fish can fetch more than $100,000 in Japan, which consumes around 80 percent of the global bluefin market. The widely hunted bluefin has also become a bellwether, the latest threatened species in a feeding frenzy that has seen the disappearance of as much as 90 percent of the ocean’s large fish.

Behind the demise of the bluefin is a kind of Wild West of fishing, in which fishermen, traders, and regulators have for years widely ignored the rules. \”Everyone cheated,\” said Roger Del Ponte, one of the six French fishing captains facing criminal charges. \”There were rules, but we didn’t follow them. It’s like driving down the road. If I know there are no police, I’m going to speed … They didn’t care, then all of a sudden, boom!\”

The fishermen, for their part, say they were part of a culture that manipulated national catch figures to shield France’s bluefin fishing industry from international scrutiny. They charge that the real culprit is missing in the courtroom: their nation’s Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries.

To the Governor of NJ, State Legislators, Camden County Freeholders, Brooklawn Mayor and Borough Council

Recently my neighborhood was re assessed and on this past Friday I received the $\"6a00d8341bf7d953ef011570df48d6970c-800wi\"$ information that has caused myself some concern. The Camden County Board of taxation has doubled the assessed value of my house which now has added well over 500.00 dollars a year to my property tax bill. This is totally beyond acceptability considering I have been working since I was 16 served 4 years in the US navy and have never been a burden to the system (employed for 30 years). I find it very hard to keep my loyalties to New Jersey when year after year Taxes grow faster than any salary increase I have ever had the opportunity to acquire.

Something needs to be done here.

I have made a appointment to review this issue on Wednesday the 17th locally in my town with the Tax Assessors.

I understand the game that is being played here since the Property Tax Bill was past limiting the rate increase to 2% per year, So why not raise the values of the property right?

As a constituent and voter I wanted to bring my opinion and concerns to your\’ attention.

Best Regards,

Patrick Theckston

Brooklawn
