HARRISBURG – Pennsylvania Game Commission biologists are seeking assistance from residents in a regional monitoring effort to collect bat maternity colony data this summer. This monitoring is especially important to measure bat mortalities caused by White-Nose Syndrome (WNS), a disease that affects hibernating bats in Pennsylvania and other parts of the eastern United States.

GLOUCESTER CITY NJ–On June 6, 1933—80 years ago—Richard Hollingshead opened the world’s first drive-in movie theater on Crescent Blvd., Camden City, in Camden County, N.J., a year after conducting a series of tests in the driveway of his home in Riverton, N.J. that led to a patent application in August 1932. The patent was awarded in May 1933 and Hollingshead was in business.

The price of admission was 25 cents for the car and 25 cents per person.

The first movie he showed was \”Wives Beware\” starring Adolphe Menjou, which one reviewer described as \”An unpleasant little comedy.\” Reviews notwithstanding, the idea caught on and by the late 1950s and early 1960s, there were about 4,000 drive-in theaters across the country.

At their peak, drive-ins represented about 25 percent of the movie screens in the U.S. Today that’s down to 1.5 percent. One of the drive-ins that still in operation is the Last Drive-In Picture Show on South Highway 36 in Gatesville, which opened more than 60 years ago as the Circle S\’.

QUESTIONS–There was a Drive-In movie in Gloucester City, NJ in the 50\’s 60\’s and 70\’s many years.

Does anyone know the name of it?

Where in Gloucester City was it located?

When did it open?

When did it close?

It’s been another banner week for battering common sense, but what else is new? However,
there was one bright spot, and that leads off our weekly recap:

 

Tom Corbett’s NCAA Lawsuit Folly: Honest to God, Corbett acts more like Adam Sandler’s deer-in-the-headlights characters every day— slow, clueless, out-to-lunch. The only differences are that 1) People are laughing at Corbett, not with him, and 2) Sandler always wins at the end of the movie. In Tommy Boy’s case, the final scene is coming quickly, and there will be no contract renewal for a sequel.

 

The latest scene in The Tom and Jerry (Sandusky) Show was the common sense ruling — a no-brainer to everyone but Corbett — by federal judge Yvette Kane. By her throwing out Corbett’s baseless lawsuit against the NCAA for its sanctions levied against Penn State, the Governor gets the worst of both worlds: his crass political move spectacularly backfired, further tanking his already basement-dwelling approval rating. 

 

Were the sanctions an outrageous over-reach? Absolutely. But remember that Governor Corbett, as a Penn State Trustee, agreed to and approved of the sanctions. In an overtly calculated effort to show he \”cared\” about Penn State — and to improve his abysmal approval rating — he sued the NCAA over those very same penalties.

On June 4, 2013. Age 53. Of Gloucester City. (nee Halley). Survived by her husband Thomas T. Weatherley, her children; Bernadette Humphrey, Allen Humphrey, Leon Humphrey, Jessica Powell, Jerry Powell, Thomas Weatherley, her grandchildren; Evan Irving, Collin Powell, Leon Humphrey Jr., Shane Powelland her siblings; Therese Gatti, Michael K. Halley and Donna Hoskinson. Marie was predeceased by her son, James Humphrey.

Marie was a strong compassionate woman, who always helped others without judgment or hesitation. Her family was the most important thing to her, especially her children and grandchildren. She had a special gift of making everyone feel as if they were included in her family circle and because of this her extended family was enormous. Marie was a well known and loved server at Michael\’s restaurant in Lawrenceville N.J. for many years before she became ill. She loved her job and made many good friends while she was working there.

Marie\’s favorite place in the world and best memories were at the shore. The shore was where she found piece of mind, and enjoyed fun times with her family. Even while she was not well enough to make the journey to the shore, she always made plans for getting well enough to go back and share her favorite place with her grandchildren.

Marie also enjoyed making crafts and being care free with her best friend Sue King. Marie always loved the time that she sent with Sue and her family whether it was picnics, BBQ\’s or just a small family get together.

Marie was a special spirit that blessed the lives of the people she knew. Her loving, carefree way of life helped many people get through rough times and know thateverything would work out in the end. May God bless her and take care of her in the way that she took care of so many people while she was here.

Relatives and friends are invited to her Memorial Service on Thursday, June 13 at 1 PM at Calvary Chapel Gloucester County: 5360 Route 42, Turnersville, NJ 08012.

In lieu of flowers, donations are requested to: Marie Weatherley Memorial Fund: P.O. Box 358, Gloucester City, NJ 08030.
