C.A.N.D.O.’s 5th season of community basketball all came down to last night. It was the championship game, ending off a season that bought out friends, family, and local supporters to cheer for their team or favorite player. The two teams, Team DJ and 6 ‘N Ferry, competed strongly for the title of Champion. The competitiveness could be seen throughout every play; looks of emotion, passion, and adrenaline, from the jump of the ball, until the final whistle.

Two former governors of the state of New Jersey joined Camden’s elected officials at the James J. Florio Center for Public Service in Camden to address the progress that’s been made in the City.
In 2011, the municipality was the state’s and the nation’s most dangerous and poorest city. Since that time, Camden has risen from the ashes and benefitted from unprecedented changes in law enforcement, education and historic economic development. Today, the city has its lowest crime rate in 50 years, the high school dropout rate has been cut in half and the city has experienced more than $2.5 billion in public-private investment.

The statement below is by Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli Jr. in regard to issues occurring at Crestbury Apartments.
“The owners and managers of Crestbury apartments failed their residents, the city and the county in making basic necessities available for elementary living conditions in their 392-unit complex. Having seen the disgraceful state of the complex yesterday, it is clear that no one should have to live in these unacceptable conditions. Throughout this sprawling 18-acre area, a subsidiary of Lincoln Capital Investment LLC, the Camden County Health Department already has seven active court cases that are based on complaints from residents. Today, inspectors went through apartments, spoke with residents and issued seven more summons for substandard conditions.
