WHATS UP, IN GCITY AND ELSEWHERE? Market St. Work, Turkey Sightings, New Rams Athletic Fields by CNBNews photo credit (cnbnews.net) GLOUCESTER CITY NEW JERSEY (April 7, 2014) NEW HIGH POWER CABLES—Have you wondered what PSE&G has been doing on Market Street near Gloucester City High School? Come to find out they are installing higher voltage power lines to a new power plant that is being built in Paulsboro. On Saturday, a contractor hired by PSE&G, was building a temporary road using 8 x 10 crane mats along the path that parrells the high tension towers from Market Street to Little Timber Creek. According to one of the workers, PSE&G will be using heavy construction equipment to install the upgrade service lines and the wooden crane mats will keep the equipment from getting stuck in the mud/dirt. Overlooking the work is Erica, the “CNBNews Hound”. Image TURKEYS EVERYWHERE—Leo Holt had to do a double take last week when he saw a wild hen turkey running across King Street near Warren Street (photo left) around 8 AM Thursday, April 3. Turkeys are quite common anymore in Gloucester City and surrounding communities. However, sighting a turkey in such a densely populated area as north Gloucester City is surprising since there is no place for the bird to roost or feed.

A groundbreaking ceremony for the Rams new athletic complex was held recently at Rowan College, Gloucester County. Among the 75 attendees to participate in the ceremony were Bishop Dennis Sullivan, Diocese of Camden, who blessed the fields; and New Jersey State Senator Fred Madden, a 1972 GCHS alumni who reflected on how a Catholic education shaped his life. Student representatives Zach Carney ’14, National Honor Society President, and Kyle Murphy, ’18, GC Junior High Student Council President, also addressed the overflow audience in the college’s University Center complex, which sits right behind where Phase 1 of the project has begun. In 2010, the Diocese of Camden offered Gloucester Catholic the use of 75 acres located off County Road 603 in Deptford to develop a new athletic complex. Since the school’s founding in 1926, Gloucester has Catholic borrowed fields throughout the area. Only Ram basketball, volleyball and wrestling teams enjoy a true home game advantage. The school administration, with the counsel of alumni and volunteers, have raised nearly $1.2 million to date toward the development of the new complex. School officials hope that Phase 1 of the project, consisting of practice fields for football and as well as varsity lacrosse and soccer fields, will be ready in the near future. A video presentation about the project can be found on CNBNews.net. We like to thank Rams Cross Country Coach Jack Heath for sharing it with our readers.
