Fireman Third Class Harold Kendall Costill Returns Home Greater Clayton Community and All South Jersey Veterans Are Invited to Attend After 78 years away, Clayton Borough native Harold Kendall Costill is finally returning home to his family and community that greatly missed him.

Franklin's "National Night Out" a Great Time for All!

When the Franklin Township Police Chief Brian Zimmer and Township Mayor Dave Deegan heard about the real threat of severe thunderstorms for the evening of August 6th, they knew they had to reschedule Franklin's National Night Out. Franklin's Pennsylvania Avenue Sports Complex offers virtually no protection from lightning. Instead, National Night Out was rescheduled for Wednesday, August 14th - and a great night it was for all who came!

The very well attended celebration started at 6:30 PM, with displays, food, entertainment and fun for everyone. Visiting the event were New Jersey State Police on horseback, the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office and SWAT Team equipment and personnel, Franklin Township Police, and representatives from each of the Township's Volunteer Fire Companies. Residents had an opportunity to meet the community's brave local law enforcement and first responders.

Funeral services for Costill will be held on Saturday, September 14, 2019.

The funeral service will be held in the Clayton High School Performing Arts Center on Pop Kramer Boulevard in Clayton, NJ. Burial will take place in the Costill family plot in Cedar Green Cemetery, located next to the High School.

Visitation with the family will be from 10:00 AM to 12:00 Noon at the Performing Arts Center, with funeral service scheduled to be held from 12:00 to 1:00 PM. Costill's casket will travel to his final resting place from 1:00 to 1:30, with services expected to end by 2:00.

Persons requiring wheelchair access or special accommodations to attend should contact 609-634-4585.

CLAYTON PD'S "NATIONAL NIGHT OUT" & "POLICE TRADING CARDS" A SUCCESS! In case you missed it, Clayton PD's "National Night Out" in early August was another success, as the well attended event dodged raindrops and the threat of lightning to bring together the community in a show support for neighborhood safety and crime deterrence.

Franklin's five Fire Companies were represented at National Night Out with residents having an opportunity to learn about their operations

Vendors throughout the Clayton community were present to distribute information, donate food, drinks and merchandise, and generally have a great time with the Police Officers who protect them. The Clayton PD also took this opportunity to introduce a new trading card contest. It was created by the Department to encourage the Borough's youth to get to know - in a positive way - the community's first responders.

The PD created trading cards for all 14 full-time officers, one card for its police clerks and Chaplains, and another card for the Borough’s Mayor and Council. These cards are for kids 15 and younger to collect individually from each person.

According to Clayton Police Chief Andrew Davis, the first three youths who collect all 16 cards will receive a free lunch with the Officers at the Liberty Diner, as well as gift cards from Walmart, Target and Nick’s Pizza. Youths were reminded at the Night Out event to collect cards when meeting Officers on the street, at school, or in the Station – but NOT during emergency situations!

Clayton Police Department Trading Cards - Collect them all and win a free meal with the Police Officers!

RECYCLING – SAVING THE PLANET BUT BREAKING THE BANK? If you're not recycling in New Jersey, you're breaking the law. But if you are, you might be helping to break the bank, depending on how and what you “recycle”.

Clayton Borough is trying to bring down the costs of recycling by reducing the volume of the things you recycle.

Smart move, when you consider - according to an official in neighboring Glassboro Borough - “the costs of recycling is nearly at the same level as that of landfilling – and by next year, it promises to cost us more than landfilling”.

The reasons for the failure of the recycling business model is simple – the collapse of the recycling market here in New Jersey, and across the nation. Scrap buyers in China and elsewhere in Asia have become very finicky about the quality of the materials they purchase in the recycling markets. Materials in your recycling bin that are contaminated by things that should not be in the “waste

Clayton High School sports teams have been busy preparing for the upcoming fall season. Most teams will have their first game around September 3rd. The teams have been working since early August. If you rode by the school fields you saw the coaches putting the teams through their paces.

Over at Haupt Field, Coach Harvey and his assistants have been guiding the football team through their drills. They start early and stay late. I watched them in the rain one morning and it didn't seem to bother them. They were too busy working to be concerned with the rain. I stayed in the car. There seems to be a good turnout of players. I tried to count helmets but they don't stand still long enough to get a head count. They will be looking to improve on last season's five wins. It won't be easy as the Classic Division that they play in is loaded with talented teams. There are no easy games. Maple Shade, Haddon Township, Robbinsville, Riverside and Wildwood will be their division opponents. They have an early season scrimmage with Cumberland High School which will be a good indicator for the team. They finished last season with a three game win streak . They will be worth the price of admission.

If you wandered by the soccer field you would see the boy’s soccer team doing their thing. Coach Foglein puts a lot of time into conditioning. Playing in the late summer heat takes a toll. They will be ready to improve on last season's 6-12-2 record.

They were 3-5 in the Classic Division. With returning lettermen like Gabe Burke, Jose Marinero and Luke Koeing that goal can be reached. Freshman Andrew Garofolo could also be a big help toward a winning season. Check them out. You will see some good soccer.

Coach Krieger has the field hockey team doing a lot of running and working on passing drills. Watching them practice you see a lot of desire. They put a lot of effort in what they do. They also wear scary face guards. I'm getting better at understanding the game. It seems they run one way until the ref blows the whistle. Then they run the other direction. I haven't figured out why yet. Victoria Copeland will be in goal and the team will depend heavily on veterans Fatima Akin, Tianna Rogers, Madison Manera, Sadie Protz and Cassie White. If you want to see some action take in one of their games.

One of my favorite things is watching the Lady Clipper Soccer Team at practice.

That shows you how hectic my day can be. Coach Shelson never runs out of conditioning drills. Seems as if she has new drills every day. She makes working hard at practice a fun thing. The players put a lot of effort into practice and the coach drills right along with the players. She doesn't ask them to do anything she can't do.

Samantha Tiedman will be in goal for the Clippers. The senior is an excellent keeper.

She doesn't say much either. Helping her keep the ball away from the net will be Jillian Cox and Kiley Burke. Both are excellent defenders. The team will be led by senior Jayda Marshall at center forward. She will have little sister Rayael running along with her. AJ Tiedman should have another great scoring season along with Dyanna Wielgus and Daniella DeFalco. All are talented and tested veterans. There are 10 freshmen on this year's team. That should be interesting. Once they get some confidence all of them should be help to the team.

If you want a good seat plan on getting to the field early. All the Clayton High School teams are fun to watch. They will make you proud. Go Clippers!

YOUTH ATHLETE CONFERENCE TO ADDRESS HOW THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC IS AFFECTING STUDENTS ATHLETES

South Jersey – Over the past few years the professional sports community has suffered a number of tragic deaths related to substance abuse. While these losses have brought great sorrow, they have also shed light on an important issue that has the potential to be fatal for our youth athletes. Sports injuries are a common occurrence for both professional and youth athletes. The emotional and physical toll sports injuries have on athletes leaves them vulnerable to prescription drug misuse. This reality begs the question, “how do we protect our kids from prescription drug misuse?”

This fall, the Southwest Council, Inc. is encouraging all Athletic Directors, Athletic Trainers, Coaches, Nurses, Superintendents, Board Members and Parents/Guardians in South Jersey to attend “OPIOID PREVENTION PLAYBOOK”, a conference that is aimed at addressing the opioid epidemic and the effects it is having on student athletes.

The day will consist of keynote speaker Justin Wroblewski sharing his firsthand experiences as well as prevention oriented workshops meant to build skills and educate youth on the risks of substance abuse. This is a free event that only requires prior registration to attend.

continued from page 1 stream”, like plastic bags, greasy or wet cardboard or paper, and food-filled glass containers, means that the recycling intermediary (the businesses that buy, sort and attempt to resell scrap) rejects the shipment and your municipality – Clayton, Franklin and Elk - pays them to landfill it.

In Clayton, starting in September, the Borough is going to start placing stickers on your recycle bin if they contain “contaminants”. These stickers will let you know if your recycling contains things that shouldn't be in there. If you do get a sticker, call the Borough at 856 881 2882 and ask them why and what you can do to fix it.

OPIOID PREVENTION PLAYBOOK

The conferences will be held on September 13th at Rowan College of SJ (Cumberland Branch), September 20 at Salem Community College, and September 27th at Rowan College of SJ (Gloucester Branch), and will run from 9:00am-12:00pm.

The Conference will include: Keynote Speaker- Justin Wroblewski- Liberty Wellness Justin was a local youth athlete who found himself addicted to opioids following a sports injury. Now in recovery for more than six years, he will be joining us to share his experiences and insights into prevention and intervention for teen opioid abuse.

Each individual will then get to choose two workshops that they would like to attend:

“Omni Recycling”, located on Lambs Road in Pitman – where your recycling goes to be sorted.- or redirected to a landfill

BEHIND THE SCENES - ACTIVE SHOOTER TRAINING

BY CLAYTON POLICE CHIEF ANDREW DAVIS

While you have been enjoying your summer, maybe making it to the shore, or at least taking some time to enjoy a quiet barbque in your backyard, one member of our community has been working hard to help you avoid an active shooter situation like the many that have claimed innocent lives in our nation throughout the summer.

Clayton Police Chief Andrew Davis has been quietly but persistently visiting a number of community organizations throughout the Borough to help prepare them for the possible event of an active shooter.

• Workshop #1 - Ashley Mallon - Prevention Specialist -Southwest Council - "SPOT IT: Are You Missing The Signs?" - Spotting the trending signs of substance abuse can be tricky. Research and Anecdotes provided by Ashley view in fresh context the signs of abuse. Also discussed is how to engage students in substance abuse prevention and the importance of accounting, securing, and disposing of prescription medications.

• Workshop #2 - Urban Treatment Associates - Narcan Training - Naloxone is a drug that can be administered to prevent death in the case of opiate overdose. While not considered a treatment for substance use disorders, Naloxone has saved countless lives, providing hope for many. The first 20 registrants in this workshop will receive a free Naloxone Response Kit. • Workshop #3 – Southwest Council Staff - "Escape The Myths of Substance Abuse" - This hands-on drug education/ team building activity was designed for youth to better understand the short and long term effects of alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use. Participants will be able to preview the escape room and obtain information on bringing this informative bonding experience to their school or team.

The conference is one of the many ways the Southwest Council works to help educate and spread awareness consistent with the agency’s mission of preventing the abuse of addictive substances through strategic community partnerships.

Davis explains the warning signs to workshop attendees.

We were invited to attend one of these seminars but were asked to neither share the location not the specific content - after all, why tempt fate or tip a possible lunatic? We can tell you that his training and instruction is thorough, deliberate and informative. If you have an opportunity to attend such a briefing, you should do so.

Thank you Chief Davis for your hard work in our Clayton community!

To register, please visit CC-YAC.eventbrite.com for Cumberland, GC-YAC.eventbrite. com for Gloucester, and SC-YAC.eventbrite.com for Salem.

We hope you will join us.

Local Hero Honored for Helping Franklin Twp K-9 Unit It is said that authentic leaders demonstrate humility, compassion, initiative and vision, and the Franklin Township Committee recognized a local youth for having all of those outstanding qualities.

At their August 13th Committee meeting, Franklin Township Mayor David Deegan, Police Chief Brian Zimmer, Township Committee members and the Officers of the Franklin Township Police Department were present to honor 14-year-old Jimmy Ketcham, a student at Edgarton School, for his volunteer work in supporting the Police Department’s K9 Unit. Seeing Franklin Township Police Officers patrolling the community with K-9 dogs that recently completed training, Ketcham took it upon himself to find and sell bracelets to his friends and the residents Franklin Township, raising more than $2,000 for care of the K-9s. Those funds were provided to the Township by Ketcham, who expected nothing more than the satisfaction of knowing that he helped his community.

Ketcham was accompanied to the award by proud members of his family – and thankful members of the community. Thank you, Jimmy Ketcham, for your volunteer service!

AIMING TO HELP A Gifted Designer

STAN BENNETT One of the most prolific and brilliant firearm designers in history was John Moses Browning. His work is probably familiar to any gun enthusiast. The name Browning is synonymous with timeless quality and dependability. Born in 1855, in Ogden, Utah, he contributed designs to Remington, Winchester, Savage, and Colt, as well as the U.S. and allied military. He built his first gun at age 10, (some say age 13), in his gunsmith father’s shop. At age 24, he was awarded the first of his many patents, for a Winchester rifle, the single shot Model 1895.

He pioneered the design of lever action and pump action rifles and shotguns, as well as semi and fully automatic weapons. His Browning Automatic Rifle, (BAR) was used by U.S. troops in World War I, II, Korea, and even Vietnam, as a squad light machine gun. His tripod-mounted machine guns, in .30 and .50 caliber are also time proven designs still in use today.

One of Browning’s most familiar and popular guns is the Model 1911 semi-auto pistol. Originally in .45 caliber, it’s now offered in .45, 9mm, .22, and several other calibers. It’s been copied and customized by many notable companies, and is considered by many to be the best pistol ever made. Our military used it up until 1985, when it was replaced by the higher capacity Beretta, and later, the Sig Sauer P320, as well as a few others.

His semi-auto A5 shotgun is certainly one of the best of its type ever made, as are his over/under break action shotguns.

Space doesn’t permit a full accounting of Browning’s work, but he never had a design that wasn’t successful. He died in 1926, of heart failure. A tribute to his genius is the fact that basic firearm design has changed very little in the ensuing years. Originally made in Belgium, Browning guns are now made in Belgium, Portugal, Japan, or the U.S. The early Belgian models are generally the most sought after, but all are well worth the money. You can hardly go wrong with a Browning.

Be safe, have fun, and God bless.

Stan is committed to offering fair prices on new and used gun purchases, and providing advice and assistance on the safe use of firearms for sport and personal protection. You can contact Stan at 856 513 5330, or by email, at sbennettfirearms@gmail.com.

Medical Examiner’s seek public’s help with locating relatives of unclaimed, deceased individuals - but in many cases, families simply refuse responsibility What happens when someone dies in a South Jersey hospital or nursing home, without family or friends - or - without relatives willing to take responsibility for burial of their remains? Some, dying after dramatic life saving efforts were attempted - but with no one willing to reimburse the medical facility for those expenses?

According to an officials from the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office, that is exactly the case in many of the unclaimed deceased individual's situations. And with permanent storage not possible, the Gloucester, Camden and Salem County Medical Examiner’s Office - and the taxpayers of those communities - must take responsibility for those burials.

At least twice a year the Gloucester/Camden/Salem County Medical Examiner’s Office posts a legal notice - one of which was issued in early August - calling for the "Public’s Help With Locating Relatives of Unclaimed, Deceased Individuals". This call includes the names of 21 souls, awaiting burial at the public's expense. These individuals have names - and in many cases, families who are known by the Police, but those family members are not legally obligated to bare the cost of burial. The deceased individuals to be disposed of are: Dominick Anderson Frank Brown Cecelia Cheeseman Ronald Cowan Patrick Deeney Willie Evans Lois Farrell Thomas Geschel Pasqual Gomes Ali Hossain Melissa Kille Gregory Lombardo Edward Long Vivian Peters Cynthia Shebell Brian Stanhope Frederick Stemcovski Arthur Stewart Marvin Vandergrift Willie Williams Damion Watson Eight of the 21 "relative-less" deceased facing a pauper’s burial in one of several graveyards in South Jersey are of Gloucester County origins - meaning that many died in a medical or rehabilitation facility in Gloucester County without anyone claiming their remains.

Somewhat reminiscent of a 2003 documentary entitled "A Certain Kind of Death" said one official, if the Medical Examiner’s Office does not receive a response to its public notice asking for relatives to contact them

by September 23, 2019, arrangements will be made for their "immediate burial without further notice".

Out of respect for the souls of those individuals, we will keep you informed of the outcome. Please let us know if you would like to join us in attending some of those burials.

A Look at Labor Day As Summer ends, workers across America look forward to Labor Day and the opportunity to enjoy a long weekend spent relaxing with friends and family as they should.

But let’s not forget why we celebrate labor and why it is a national holiday: there was a time when there was no 40-hour work week, a time when the safety of an individual was not a priority, a time when health benefits and retirement did not exist in the work place, and a time when fairness was not spoken about for fear of being fired or worse.

Caught Caring – Giving Back!

Mr. Scott Uribe, Herma S. Simmons Elementary School Principal, reported that Clayton Public Schools graduate Jerondia Conley was Caught Caring about her community by donating backpacks and school supplies for Simmons students.

As reported by Mr. Scott “Ms. Conley is spreading the important message about always being nice to everyone because name calling and being mean can truly hurt and scar.”

Thank you, Ms. Conley, for your donation, and to you, Mr. Scott, for catching Ms. Conley caring!!!

Our great grandparents, grandparents and parents believed we live in an extraordinary country where if you worked hard and respected others, despite your gender or color or where you are from, you could become anything you aspired to be. Because of their struggles for fairness we enjoy a 40-hour work week, workplace safety, fairness and all the thing we take for granted in our work place today.

For that we celebrate the men and women of this great country who get up every day and go to work and build our communities, raise their families and live by the belief that an economy works better when it works for everyone.

I’ve been a union carpenter for over 30 years. I worked almost 20 of those years out in the field and now represent thousands of workers across New Jersey. I’m proud to be able to represent the workers who build our communities, who go out to work every day in the heat and cold and take pride in their job and in providing for their families.

I’m grateful to live in a country that recognizes the contribution that our workers make to society and celebrates them with a holiday every year. I wish everyone a happy and relaxing Labor Day. Thank you to all of our workers for the important role you play in our community.

CLAYTON BOROUGH OBITUARIES AND MEMORIALS CAROLINE ELSA LOWERY - DECEMBER 09, 1923 - AUGUST 07, 2019 Caroline Elsa Lowery (nee Engstrom) on Wednesday, August 7, 2019. Age 95. Wife of 56 years to the late Edward William Lowery, Sr. Mother of Edward W. (Catherine) Lowery, Jr. of Crossville, TN; Carol L. (Charles) McCullough of Oakland, CA; and Frank R. (Ellen) Lowery of Clayton, NJ. Grandmother of 5 and Great-grandmother of 7. Daughter of the late Francis O. and Carrie (nee Haupt) Engstrom.

Born and raised in Camden, Caroline was a resident of Clayton from 1955 until 2015 when she moved to Greenfield Assisted Living in Glassboro. She was a 1942 graduate of Woodrow Wilson High School and worked for Bell Telephone as an operator and later in the Office of Price Administration before marrying the love of her life, Edward, in 1944. Caroline was a member of the Downer United Methodist Church and active in the Methodist Women’s Society.

Caroline was a great hostess and loved people to visit her home. During the years of raising her family, she had a vegetable garden that they ate from often and was a good cook as recalled by her children. Caroline was a really great scrabble player and liked doing crossword puzzles. She was known among friends and family as a “coupon queen”. She was an accomplished seamstress and also enjoyed knitting, crocheting, and crafting. Caroline loved bluebirds, bingo, cats, and most of all, people. Her family and friends were the most important part of her life. She was deeply loved, and will be deeply missed, by all who were fortunate enough to know her.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend her Memorial Service on Saturday, November 2, 2019, at 11:00 AM at the Downer United Methodist Church, 2212 Fries Mill Road, Williamstown, NJ 08094 where friends may call from 10:00 AM until service time. Internment to follow in the Downer UMC Cemetery. In lieu of flowers contributions may be made in Caroline’s memory to the Downer Methodist Church, c/o Cheryl Smith 1905 Stanger Avenue, Williamstown, NJ 08094.

Facebook after Death: Planning your social media ‘afterlife’ When Facebook suggested Ben* as a potential friend for Anna,* the South Jersey woman was unnerved. Ben had died months earlier.

Such stories are not unusual, as people’s social-media accounts often live on after their death. Per one estimate, nearly 200 million so-called “zombie accounts” haunt the Internet.

That’s a lot of automatic birthday reminders from the deceased…

Worse yet, these un-dead accounts can attract hurtful messages. Consider the insensitive Facebook posts that appeared on the page of Phillies’ great Roy Halladay about the plane crash that took his life.

Fortunately, many digital platforms offer steps you may take to spare your loved ones added burdens – or heartbreak – after your death.

Preparation and Communication First, inventory your online accounts. List your user names and passwords, then state what you want to happen to each account. For example, you might want your Facebook account to become a memorial page, but your emails to disappear. Share your list’s location with those you trust to honor your wishes. Remember to update as you add or delete accounts.

Back up data stored in the cloud to a hard drive to provide your heirs easier access to these photos and documents.

Consider appointing a “digital executor” to handle your accounts. This can spare your loved ones from any embarrassing revelations lurking in old messages or photos.

Memorialize or delete?

Facebook, Twitter, Google, and other major platforms allow you to choose settings for how your accounts and data are handled. Some, like Google and Twitter, will automatically delete themselves after a certain period of inactivity. Make note and share these deadlines with your executor or family members.

With Facebook, you may choose to have your account “memorialized” or permanently deleted. Memorialized accounts allow friends and family to share remembrances.

These accounts can’t be hacked, nor do they appear in friend suggestions, ads, birthday reminders or other “public spaces.” Memorializing requires your designating a “legacy contact” in Facebook Settings to handle your post-death account.

Just as in “real” life, a little advance planning for the end of our digital life can give our loved ones — and ourselves — priceless peace-of-mind.
