2nd Annual Student Technology Showcase

Today June 4 was the 2nd Annual Student Student Technology Showcase. It was held at Lakeside School in Millville and it was a full and varied program. One workshop that I saw was called "Multimedia Math Stories." Students presented solutions to stories they created that include the four steps of problem solving. Students presented Video tutorial the students created and used a Geosketchpad. It was good to see kids and teachers working together.

Barak Obama has clinched the Democratic Nomination for President of the United States. Congratulations!! Now to soothe some wounded egos in the Hillary camp. Meanwhile I decided on Rob Andrews for the Democratic Nomination for US Senate but
he lost BADLY to Frank Lautenberg.
Meanwhile I visited some warehouse on Columbia Ave in Millville that is for sale for less then $200k. I know some friends who would like to buy the property for sculpture and or other art. Lets see in October. The movie is a walking tour of the building
The rain is falling and I need to say good night

In Memoriam Bo Diddley

Bo Diddley 1928 - 2008
Bo Diddley with his signature square guitar.
Not many musicians achieve what Bo Diddley did. He created a rhythm so distinct

it was known by his name:the Bo Diddley beat.
I wish I had more time today to expound upon this, but I also couldn’t let this go without at least putting something up.
He is a member of Rock’s early pantheon.

A New Ethiopian Restaurant

Speaking of Food. I just read on the Malcom X Park webstite about this new Ethiopian restaurant at 720 S. 52nd St. Read this! http://malcolmxpark.org/?p=1051
Its called Blue Nile Falls. The restaurant occupies the 2nd floor of a building that houses a bar at street level right at the corner of 52nd and Webster. It has seen rave reviews. I just might go there after I get paid or when we go to Philly!!

Free Pizza!

DATE: May 21, 2008


SUBJECT: Staff Appreciation Day


TO: All Staff


FROM: Executive Director


I’d like to take this time to thank you for your commitment to the agency as well as our clients. Ours is not an easy job, but one that makes a difference in people’s lives. By changing their circumstances today, you change children’s lives tomorrow. That makes you all heroes.

In a show of my appreciation for all that you do, I am declaring June 4, 2008 PCAO Staff Appreciation Day. Last year each district office/department was allotted funds to organize and schedule the day themselves. This year we will celebrate simultaneously. Pizza and soda will be delivered to each office between 12:00 noon and 1:00 pm on that day. A small token of my appreciation will also be sent the day before, and will be distributed to each staff member on 06/04/08.

Again, thank you for your dedication to excellence in customer service.



Next Steps

1. District Administrators/Department Heads should ensure that offices are prepared for the 06/04/08 food deliveries.

2. District Administrators/Department Heads should ensure that the gifts being delivered 06/03/08 are received and secured until 06/04/08.



Thank you.

Millville Riverfront Development

Here are some photos and Video of the progress the City of Millville has made with its Riverfront Project. It was well-done with alot of care and citizens of Millville should be proud of the work that has been done thus far. This was paid for by GRANTS from the State of New Jersey NOT by real estate taxes. This project will bring value to Millville. The pictures seen here are taken on Sept 23rd 2007, Feb 2 2008 and May 31st 2008.

A Nice Weekend
