Pennsville clinches WJFL Classic, No. 1 seed by beating Gloucester, 25-23

– NJ.com

The Pennsville Memorial High School football team rallied from an early 15-0 deficit to down Gloucester, 25-23, on Friday night, clinching the West Jersey Football League Classic Division title and the No. 1 seed in South Jersey Group 1.

The Eagles improved to 7-1 overall and 5-0 in the Classic, while the Lions – who will likely head to the postseason as the No. 3 seed – fell to 6-2, 4-1.

In a series that has often been ruled by offense, the Pennsville defense stepped up at the end. Trailing by two after turning the ball over on downs in Lion territory in the fourth quarter, the Eagles got the ball back at the Lion 41 when Seth Singleton recovered a fumble.

Josh VanBlarcom scored on a 24-yard TD run three plays later to give the Eagles a 25-21 lead, and the Eagles – who took a safety in the last two minutes –didn’t allow another first down the final two drives.

Gloucester jumped out to a 15-0 lead four minutes into the game. Justin Graves made several defenders miss on a 23-yard shovel pass on fourth-and-6 on the opening drive, then after a turnover, Ken Barton scored on a 20-yard run.

Lot Webber\’s Request for Bail Reduction Denied; 14 Felony Convictions, and Many DUI\’s

WOODBURY NJ (November 7, 2014)–Lot Webber (DOB 7/15/69), of Mullica Hill NJ, whose criminal history and driving record include many convictions, was denied a reduction in bail today on his latest drunk driving and narcotics arrest.

 Even Webber’s lawyer acknowledged in asking for a bail reduction from $10,000 that his client had a \”long record,\” while adding that Webber did cooperate with police in a 10/29/14 Mantua Township vehicle stop, consenting to a search of his car. Six packets of cocaine were found. Webber’s driver’s license was suspended at the time. Webber has no funds for bail, his lawyer said.

 Assistant Gloucester County Prosecutor Vincent Malfitano said any lowering of bail was \”not appropriate,\” given Webber’s history of 14 felony convictions and a driving record that \”is replete with drunk driving.\” Webber was sentenced 2/5/13 to 18 months in state prison after pleading guilty to driving during a second or subsequent drunk driving suspension. Superior Court Judge Paul R. Porreca denied the bail reduction motion.

CNB HUNTING/FISHING REPORT FOR NJ–Winter Trout Stocking Begins November 24

\"English:English: Kilnsey Trout Farm You can fish for your own rainbow trout here but fly fishing only (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

November 5, 2014

Fall colors may be fading but trout fishing opportunities in New Jersey are not. On November 24 through 26 the NJDEP Division of Fish and Wildlife will be releasing 9,500 yearling brown and rainbow trout just in time for the long holiday weekend. These 8 – 10 inch trout, raised at the Pequest Trout Hatchery will be distributed into 23 lakes around the state. 

This winter stocking is in addition to the 25,000 trout released in October in 17 streams and 14 lakes. A number of those trout, including some of the 500 large rainbow broodstock, still remain for anglers. Trout stocked during the fall and winter are available for anglers throughout the winter into late spring. There are no closed dates during the fall and winter stocking, but anglers should consult the NJ Freshwater Fishing Digest for regulation and other information.

As with the recent fall trout stocking the yearling fish are smaller than those typically stocked in the winter. This is a result of the rebuilding of fish stocks at the hatchery because of a disease issue last spring. A return to the stocking of larger fish is anticipated for next year. 

Wintertime trout anglers enjoy the more serene setting of the winter months. Although much of the winter fishing occurs during open water many anglers look forward to the opportunity to catch trout through the ice. Anglers are reminded to check with the individual park offices regarding their regulations on ice fishing as some of the parks where trout are stocked, particularly in the urban areas, prohibit ice fishing. 

Common methods for catching trout through the ice are using tip-ups with powerbait or fathead minnows, and jigging with small jigs or ice jigging flies. If there is open water, traditional baits like worms, fathead minnows, meal worms and powerbait fished on the bottom work well for those fishing from shore. 

See the 2014 Winter Trout Stocking Schedule or call the Trout Stocking Hotline at 609-633-6765 to find a nearby stocked water. Updates to the winter stocking program will be posted as necessary.

Philadelphia Man Charged with Defrauding $78,306 from Medicaid

HARRISBURG – Attorney General Kane today announced Medicaid fraud and other charges against a Philadelphia \"\"man for defrauding more than $82,000 by claiming to care for his brother when he was being cared for by a hospital, and after he died. 

The Attorney General\’s Medicaid Fraud Control Section presented evidence to a statewide investigating Grand Jury, which recommended charges against Terrance Jenkins, 61, 535 Mckinley St., Philadelphia.

According to the Grand Jury, Jenkins was responsible for providing care for his brother and was reimbursed through the Department of Public Welfare\’s Independence Waiver Program.

However, the Grand Jury found that Jenkins submitted fraudulent payment sheets for personal care attendant services for periods of time between May 2011 and June 2012 when his brother was actually receiving services at in-patient centers and hospitals. In addition, Jenkins allegedly continued to submit false claims for his brother for more than a year after he passed away on June 27, 2012.
