Italian Tribune: ‘Labor of Love’ in 1922, St. Mary’s Slated for Closing.
My wife’s Julie’s church was a feature article in the Italian Tribune. I pretty sure the pictures come from the Save St Mary’s campaign and it’s Diocese of Camden watchdog site (eagle-eyed fans will spot Theo at the bottom!).
No one has a devotion to the Catholic faith like Italians. When the first immigrants came to the United States, they brought with them their religious dedication. Churches were built by Italians so they could have their own parishes where they could congregate and worship as a group. St. Mary’s Church in Malaga, New Jersey is one of these churches, built by its devoted Italian founders. However, Bishop Joseph Galante of Camden Diocese wants to close the church, and parishioners are trying to keep it open.
“PREPARE TO MEET GOD”: Nineteenth Century Quaker graffiti on the benches. The benches aren’t original to the meetinghouse. Terry Wallace is pretty sure these originally came from Salem, New Jersey. An easier-to-read picture of this bench’s inscription from a few years ago can be seen here.

Ann Derry answers readers questions as part of the “Talk to the Newsroom” series, and gives links to NYTimes videos from unlikely videographers, including a print journalist who carried a video camera into an Afghan firefight, a photographer shooting video about Somali pirates and The Daily Baggage, “the only Oscar video brought to you from a basement in New Jersey.”
Questions include:
What lessons can other media organizations learn from The New York Times’s video experiments and experience? How big is your staff and do they have a photo/video journalism background or did they need to switch from print and learn on the job? How long, on average, does it take to produce a video for a newspaper Web site. Is it worth the effort for a smaller paper?

"BASED ON THE LATEST FORECAST TRACK OF THE STORM, IT APPEARS AS THOUGH 8 TO 14 INCHES OF SNOW WILL FALL IN THE NEW JERSEY COUNTIES OF SALEM, CUMBERLAND AND ATLANTIC"

New Jersey Law Requiring Flu Vaccinations Goes Into Effect - NYTimes.com
New Jersey makes up 2% of the U.S. population so forced vaccination is in effect over two state deaths. Authorities acknowledge the flu vaccine doesn’t protect against all the year’s strains, so let’s put that down to one kid. We’re injecting millions of kids to toxic doses of mercury, forcing non-compliant ones out of schools and spending billions of dollars in health money for about one death a year? This is clearly not about public health.
It used to be that New Jersey was a swing state. No longer.
