CNBNEWS Point of View--TACKY SIGNS VIOLATE GLOUCESTER CITY ORDINANCE

 

CHEESY LOOKING!--As you drive into the entrance of the CVS shopping center, 400 unit block South Broadway,  you'll see a tattered Dunkin Donut banner sign that is tied to a lampost and a tree. A few feet further you find another large Dunkin Donut sign hanging on a lamp post. The placement of these signs are in violation of the City of Gloucester sign ordinance. photo credit CNBNEWS.net.

BY BILL CLEARY

 

(CNBNEWS.NET) THE DUNKIN DONUTS store owner, 400 unit block of South Broadway, Gloucester City,  has plastered cardboard, plastic and banner signs at the entrance way to the CVS Shopping Center. The City of Gloucester has a ordinance prohibiting such advertisements but apparently does not feel like enforcing the law. The Housing Office is responsible for making sure the law is followed. 

 

Can you imagine what Broadway would look like if every business on that main road erected similar signs?

The Dunkin Donut signs have been up for several months if not longer. Which brings up this question, if the City of Gloucester is not going to enforce the ordinance why then did mayor and council pass it in the first place? 

 

 Several years ago, using the same ordinance, the City Housing Office cited the owner of the  Gloucester News Agency at Broadway and Middlesex Street for painting a mural on his building.  The Housing inspector, Jack Hargraves,  told the owner to remove it, claiming it was unsightly.  The owner, upset over the way he was being treated, closed his business and moved out of town. 

 

Since then that dilapidated building, first owned by the city, and now owned by Bob Booth, of Gloucester Travel Agency, has remained empty. Booth is president of the Gloucester City Business Association and treasurer of the Gloucester City Economic Development Corporation (GCEDC).

You would think the Business Association would want the signs removed. After all, such tacky, cheesy looking signs are not only a eyesore they also give the wrong impression of our City, and the business community.

DUNKIN DONUTS BREAKING THE LAW--Signs such as these above are in direct violation of Gloucester City's sign ordinance. According to that ordinance the owner could be fined up to $50 a day for placing these signs at the entrance of the CVS Shopping Center, 400 unit block of South Broadway.  photo credit CNBNEWS.net

THERE IS A REASON IT IS CALLED A TEAM

 

 

By CNBNEWS Staff Reporter

 

Who makes up the team? Who are the Gloucester Lions Baseball Team? You recently read about seniors Albie Carracino, Steven Bobo and Robbie Cordero. You heard about captains Thomas O’Donnell, Andrew Boulden and Austin Darrow and what they contribute. But what about the Scott Pierman’s or Mike Cox or John Lindeborn’s of the team?  Never hear much about these players along with the others who make up the 2013 Lion’s roster.

Each game requires the Lion’s to field 9 players, each player brings a different skill or talent to the team. The Lion’s record stands 7 wins against 11 losses with 7 of the 11 losses by less than 2 runs. This record indicates a break here or there and the Lion’s could be at least over .500 on the season. But what haves, should haves and could haves do not win games.

men and women on the City Police Department who serve the taxpayers of Gloucester City.

His statement reads as follows,  

 

Since this week is police week, I would like to take the time to thank the men and women of the Gloucester City Police Department for their dedicated service.  They work under the most adverse conditions and they do the job exceptionally well.  I can tell you as the Chief of Police that they take each job personally and in the end they almost always get the bad guys.  It is very difficult coming to work and locking someone up who has committed many crimes only to find them let go due to various reasons.  They are fighting an uphill battle yet the officers all continue that battle in the most professional way. 

 

They are truly dedicated to the city in which they work.

Well Known Physician Retires, Housing for Teachers, Et Cetera | cnbnews.net

BY CNBNEWS STAFF

 

WELL KNOWN PHYSICIAN RETIRES--Doctor Carl Vitola, a long time family physician in South Jersey, retired last week so he could devote more time to caring for his wife, Eileen, who is suffering with ALS.  

 

Dr. Vitola, a former resident of Gloucester City, is a Gloucester City High School alumnus. After graduating from med school he opened an office in Gloucester City in the 500 block of Monmouth Street.  Later he moved his office to Washington Township, Blackwood. He has been practicing medicine for 30 plus years.  

 

Many of his patients were from Gloucester City and Brooklawn. Ask any one of those individuals about Carl, and they will tell you immediately, he is one of the most caring, compassionate doctors they have ever known.  “Carl is going to be missed”, said Connie Cleary. He has treated our family for many years. You don’t find family physicians like him anymore. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his wife, Eileen.”

 

Besides his family practice, he was also the school physician at Gloucester City High School since 1988.  Although it wasn’t a requirement of the job, Dr. Vitola would attend the Lions home football games just in case one of the players got injured. He will continue to serve as school physician.

The new parking enforcement vehicle is a 1996 Ford Explorer that has belonged to the Fire Department since it was purchased by the city in 1996.  They received a replacement and no longer needed the Explorer.  It was transferred to our department for parking enforcement.  The old parking enforcement vehicle, a 1992 Jeep Cherokee, was passed down to the Highway Department and they have been using it.

Letters: When Will Verizon Fios be Available in Gloucester City? | cnbnews.net

Dear Mayor James and members of Gloucester City Council,

 

I am wondering if and when Verizon Fios will be available for the entire city of Gloucester. I see many locations throughout the city with Fios, but I have spoken with Verizon and they said they do not have any locations they are adding service unless the town they have placed or are placing the service forces them to do so.

 

 In order for a town to attract professional individuals these days, people need to know that the infrastructure of the future in technology will be able to support them. I  hope Gloucester City realizes this and would make a concerted effort to have the whole city wired. 

The City administration might also want to look into the latest internet trend, Google Fiber. Google Fiber starts with a connection speed 100 times faster than today's broadband.
Instant downloads. Crystal clear high definition TV. And endless possibilities.
 Presently it is only offered in some states. However, it wouldn't hurt for the city to inquire about it. 

 As for where the Chatham Square apartments are being converted to townhouses next to Meadowbrook Run, since not a single one has been sold yet, maybe the city could turn it into a technology park to recruit technology based workers. That would be one step the city could take to show we are truly looking towards the future and adding good paying jobs in this city.

GLOUCESTER CITY NJ--Two Gloucester City children are missing, according to a article posted today, May 6, by Philadelphia WPVI (http://abclocal.go.com).  The Camden County prosecutor’s office is asking for the public’s help in finding the children, a brother and sister.

Brianna Giordano, 5, and Lee Giordano Jr., 2, were last seen going out for ice cream with their father, 28-year-old Lee Giordano, on Sunday afternoon.

The children were reported missing by their mother, the prosecutor's office said, adding their mother last saw them on Cumberland Street in Gloucester City.

Both are still believed to be with their father, who is described as being 5'9" tall with glasses, brown hair and green eyes. He was last seen wearing a black sweat suit, black sweatpants and work boots.

 

Brianna is described as being 3'6" tall and weighing 40 pounds. Lee Jr. is described as 3' tall and weighing 35 pounds.

 

A spokesman for the prosecutor's office, Jason Laughlin, told Action News that there is no known custody issue, and they have no information the father means to harm the children.

 

However, authorities are concerned because the children are unaccounted for and Lee Giordano is unreachable.

 

Anyone with information is asked to contact law enforcement at (856) 783-1333.

Also, anyone in contact with Lee Giordano should encourage him to contact the police immediately, the prosecutor's office said.

CHEER--Congrats to Gloucester Catholic seniors Katie O'Shea and Nick Liscio on being honored during the 8th Annual Adam Taliaferro Foundation Player of the Year Luncheon at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on Tuesday, April 16. The luncheon was hosted by the Eagles and recognized 18 schools from South Jersey that helped raise money for the foundation in 2012-2013. Gloucester Catholic and Williamstown were the co-winners of the annual fund-raising event, and Katie and Nick were awarded scholarship funds.

 

Gloucester Catholic falls in showdown

The Green Knights turned a highly anticipated showdown into a showcase for their sensational senior lefthander and their apparently underrated lineup.

On a cool, clear Saturday night in the Rockland Boulders' picturesque ballpark, Kaminsky pitched a three-hitter with 13 strikeouts as St. Joseph beat Gloucester Catholic, 6-1, in a matchup of two of New Jersey's best baseball teams.

Kaminsky, a North Carolina recruit projected as a likely first-round pick in the Major League Baseball draft in June, powered through the Rams' lineup with a fastball in the 90-m.p.h. range and a devastating breaking ball.

He also threw about 15 to 20 change-ups, by far his most of the season.

"That's the best team we faced," Kaminsky said of Gloucester Catholic (16-3), the No. 1 team in The Inquirer's South Jersey rankings as well as the No. 1 team in the Newark Star-Ledger state rankings. "I had to break [the change-up] out."

A Successful Turkey Hunt | cnbnews.net

Dr. Jim Doster, pastor of the Lighthouse Baptist Church, Gloucester City, was one of the lucky turkey hunters to bag a bird on the opening day of NJ's spring turkey season. Asked about his hunting experience Pastor Doster said, 

 "One of the time honored traditions of the American heritage is that of hunting for the wild game of our great forests and fields.  The Second Amendment to our Constitution guarantees the citizens of America the freedom to possess AND CARRY guns for hunting and for protection.

"Monday, April 22 was opening day of Spring Gobbler season in New Jersey and many New Jersey men and women rose up early in the morning to exercise pursue the elusive wild turkey. The Lord blessed me at around 8:00 am with a fine young bird which we dressed and smoked with apple-wood chips.  We will enjoy at least 6 or 7 wonderful meals from this bounty from God."

DEA Hopes to Remove a Third of a Million Pounds of Expired Prescription Drugs from Circulation on Its Sixth Take-Back Day April 27

APRIL 25 (WASHINGTON) – After collecting more than 1,000 tons of expired, unwanted prescription medications at previous events over the past three years, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and its national, tribal, and community partners will hold a sixth National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day across the country on Saturday, April 27th.  Collection sites are open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. local time.  The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.

The public has embraced the opportunity these Take-Back Day events provide to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, or unwanted prescription drugs.  Local law enforcement agencies in thousands of American communities have partnered with the DEA in the previous five events that have taken place since September 2010.
