The home of Burton Gallery, a must stop on the Bridgeton House Tour on Dec. 5. "Be sure to include a visit to the Burton Gallery when you are on the House Tour this Saturday, Dec. 5.
"The current exhibit, 'Then and Now,' is a photographic house tour of a dozen Bridgeton properties showing what the homes and families looked like as far back as the 1890s.
"Each home is represented by several photos taken of exterior and interiors views, including some of the residents of the time.
"The exhibit will be attended by local historian Arthur Cox and archivist Bob Hearn from 1 to 5 p.m. so that you can have any of your questions answered.
"Refreshments will be served.
"The Burton Gallery is located inside Frank Burton and Sons at 333 W. Broad St., across from the former Agway location.''

From Gloria Cortez:
"Just heads up for all the good people out there.
"A lot of robberies going on on the south side of Bridgeton, and all around us.
"Unfortunately, my youngest was a victim.
"I thank God it was material things and she is not hurt.
"If anything in this world brings this old lady tao a feeling of overwhelming rage is for anything to happen to my daughters.
"Don't leave your car or home doors open for any length of time. Be vigilant of your area.''

It's the drugs, people.
It's the not having enough money to pay for the habit.
The supplier doesn't fool around.

"Our community just lost another brother! Another mother has lost a son! Another child has lost their father!
"While the family is mourning, there are fools out there celebrating a death!
"When will my community decide that enough is enough? Rest in peace, Buck!
"We have to do better as a community!''
-- John Fuqua,
Bridgeton youth activist

"Remember when a life is taken, just one person dies a physical death, but so many others suffer emotional and mental death.
"This includes the family and friends of the deceased, as well as the family and friends of the perp!
"I'm not talking to (or about) anyone in particular. I am just speaking in general.
"God bless our city!''

There is a woman who walks the streets of Millville who has medical problems, but who will not accept help.
People see her walking in the rain in trash bags.
She has a home and receives assistance.
They hope she'll accept a rubber rain coat.
