With New Striped Bass Category!

By Paul Haertel

(from Jersey Coast Anglers Association May 2012 Newsletter)

JCAA’s 18th Annual Fluke Tournament will be held on June 9th, 2012. This year we will have a new striped bass category for those of you who might like to fish for both fluke and striped bass during this time of the year. However, contestants will have to enter the fluke tournament in order to be eligible to enter the optional striped bass category. Those who enter the striped bass category will be competing only against others who are fishing out of the same port. For this category, JCAA will pay out 60% of the money taken in from each port. The entrant weighing in the heaviest striped bass for each port will receive all the cash paid out for that particular port. The entry fee for the fluke tournament is $120 provided payment is made by 6/2/12 and $150 after 6/2/12. The optional striped bass category entrance fee is $50. Entrance fees cover up to six anglers per boat.

Philadelphia, April 23, 2012 – Mayor Michael A. Nutter has released the following statement on the Food Stamp Challenge, sponsored by the Greater Philadelphia Coalition Against Hunger and the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia:

\”SNAP benefits are a critical safety net for low-income and working class families, seniors, children and those struggling with the aftereffects of the Recession. Continuing cuts to a program that is already experiencing significant reductions and now adding the new asset test are unacceptable and cruel policy decisions. We need to be encouraging SNAP participants to buy healthy foods with their benefits, not forcing them to eat cheaply so they can eat at all.

Despite the nearly 1 in 3 Philadelphians who use SNAP benefits to supplement their income and feed their families, there are another 180,000 estimated Philadelphians who are eligible to receive benefits. If you qualify for SNAP, or think you might, please call the Food Stamp Hotline at 215-430-0556.\”

The historic Scott Walker recall is official and underway.

Bureaucrats in Wisconsin just confirmed Governor Walker will face a Democratic challenger on June 5th, and multiple polls show the race is a dead heat.

That’s why the Wisconsin Recall Action Fund is critical. We were on the ground during the 2011 State Senate recalls, and we helped keep the Wisconsin Senate in Republican hands. We know how to save Scott Walker.
