RIP James, my favorite Mob Boss, thanks for the memories. Best scene ever, Tony sitting in the barn…Read More with sick Pie-O-My, the rain is pouring down as he smokes a great big stogie and the goat runs in, Tony smiles and for that brief moment all seems right with the world.

Not a big fan of the new patch. It makes me think I have Attention Deficit Disorder with all the…Read More "noise" going on.

Indeed Phil. It looks like "Big Internet" has taken over and ruined the local patch's. If…Read More the Patch originally had this layout it would've folded a long time ago. Beginning of the end.

Looks good to me. Hey, any way to sort by 'most commented' article?

Mosqquitoes are here! I wish Camden County Mosquito Control would be more aggressive. The mosquito…Read More population has gotten out of hand in the past several years. It's time to institute a regular, consistent spraying schedule in every town. We need to cut back on the mosquito population, and the only way is to spray regularly so as to kill the newly hatched ones before they start to multiply.

In light of the potential of the West Nile Virus increases this year or simply as one step of…Read More prudent mosquito population control, the current work being done on Newton Lake is very timely.
While the work is removal of algae to the point required by NJ DEP regulations in order to then apply copper sulfate algaecide (which will prevent further growth of algae over the 2013 Summer season), removal of the algae will allow a better follow of water in the lake. Better flow means there will be less pockets of still blocked in water on the lake were mosquitoes typically breed. Less mosquitoes equates to a lower chance of the West Nile Virus being contracted by the citizens of Camden County and our visitors.
Also, even though the county has that the five sprinklers installed on Newton Lake did not produce the desired effect as to algae control, they certainly help to improve water flow on the lake.

My boys don't swim in the lake but they do go in after tadpoles and turtles. What a wonderful…Read More legacy if we could leave them with something you could swim in. I learned how to windsurf on Cooper River. didn't mean to go swimming but it happens. It shouldn't be a toxic experience though. god forbid if you disturb the future sediment with toxins after this chemical application.

Lois I think that filtering the runoff before it enters is an important item to be taken care of.
I…Read More had posted before the format change over here that Collingswood years (50/s 60's) ago didn't sand the side streets at all during the winter. Now at the first hint of a snow fall our trucks are out sanding and salting.
It doesn't look like much sand but know from cleaning out at the curb there's a lot of weight when I'm done. We must have tons of sand washing into the lake each year.
As for the application of the chemical...we had a total of four sewage plants dumping into the creek/lake years ago, it survived. People went water sking between the RR bridge and Black Horse Pike. There were soap suds all over the water from the Collingswood plant.

Money should be spent on the real problem. The storm water draining directly into the lake. We are…Read More going to treat the symptom not the disease. With Toxins. Perfect logic makes total sense. we need to get our white their whitest. 4 out of 5 doctors say it's only mildly toxic. Absolutely Insane. Pollution being solved by a chemical application. Remember all the times man used chemicals and nature got better? me either

Threaded comments where you can reply more than one level deep? No? Too much to ask for?

Genetically engineered salmon ???? OMG !!! Farm raised salmon is bad enough, and now they are…Read More adding genetically engineered salmon? They are surely trying to kill us. I only buy salmon if I know for sure it is "wild caught" salmon ---- therefore I usually only consume salmon when staying with my daughter who lives in British Columbia, Canada.

Maybe if they closed down the dealers, we might have fewer new addicts and victims. Oh wait, the…Read More dealers are dangerous. So much easier to target drug sick junkies than blame the problem on it's cause: the thriving local drug economy!

I wish Camden County would sponsor fireworks in Cooper River Park again. There is plenty of parking…Read More on both sides of the river. There is so much space for spectators who can sit on the grass throughout the park or in the large stadium seating section. Beautiful area, and safe.
This is so much better than the Camden waterfront where, I'm sure, many families will avoid going for obvious reasons.
