May 29, 2013–Senator Steve Oroho questioned today the decision by Senate Democrats to reinstate a clause in bill, S2467/S2471, that would force New Jersey to divest pension funds from thriving American companies that legally sell firearms.

\”After sensibly agreeing to remove the requirement at a May 9 public meeting, Senate Democrats have reinstated the very clause that they publicly removed,\” said Oroho (Sussex, Warren, Morris.) \”I’m disappointed that public action taken by Democrats apparently doesn’t hold up behind closed doors.\”

GLOUCESTER CITY — Like most underdogs, the Schalick High School softball team puts rankings aside and lets its play do the talking.

It certainly worked on Wednesday.

Although the Cougars were considered a long shot against one of the area’s premier teams, No. 12 Schalick continued to defy the odds as it upset defending champion and top-seed Gloucester, 3-1, in the semifinals of the South Jersey Group I playoffs.

\”We had a gameplan and we stuck to it,\” said Cougars head coach Jami Musey-Lau. \”We were feeling really confident and were definitely prepared. This is a big-time upset.\”

As they’ve done all postseason, Schalick (15-9) leaned on junior starting pitcher Janna Gaburo to navigate a normally hard-hitting Gloucester (20-6) line-up. 

Even before Gaburo stepped foot in the circle, however, the Cougars had provided her with a 2-0 lead in the top of the first. Following a single by Kylee Barton and an error on a ground ball hit by Jessica Harrell, Courtney Miller was able to drive in the first run of the game on a base hit. Schalick would then add another on an RBI fielder’s choice by Courtney Buck.

(cnbnews.net)THE UNBEATABLE RAMS!!! –This year\’s Rams team had their way, once again, with the Lions Alumni.

Rams Manager/Head Coach Bob Chew was asked what he attributed his team\’s success to?

Chew said, \”First of all, our team practices all year long. And, as you can see, that hard work pays off, both in the field, and at the plate. I am not taking anything away from our opponent. However, I do think some of the players on this year\’s Lions team were too old to be playing against us. I thought for sure a couple of them were going to have a heart attack. Maybe next year they will retire some of these old guys and bring younger alumni to play us. We would welcome the competition, this is getting to be too easy.\”

CNBNews reached out to Lions Manager/Coach Steve Cowgill for a response but he was unavailable. 

A large crowd of \”supporters\” were on hand to witness the Rams win. The game was played for the first time at the \”Billy Flynn Sports Center\” on Johnson Blvd., Gloucester City.

Below, Chew gives his expanded report on the game.
