His alleged decisions lead to a $566,600 budget deficit.

HI-NELLA -- A Hi-Nella educator has lost his teaching certificates after allegedly mismanaging funds, resulting in a $566,600 budget deficit, and guiding contracts to a company owned by his family. 

According to a report by the Courier Post in 2014, a complaint was filed with the Department of Education against Joseph Giambri Sr., a former Sterling High School business administrator, regarding a budget deficit and the investigation began. The unlawful use of $194,000 from the district to fund an addition onto Hi-Nella borough hall was discovered.

According to the report, Giambri's decisions created a $566,600 budget deficit.

Giambri held a Teacher of Business Education: General Business certificate, a Teacher of Business Education: Marketing Education certificate, a Teacher Coordinator-Cooperative Vocational Technical Education: Marketing Education certificate, a Teacher of Business Education: Data Processing certificate, a Supervisor certificate, a School Business Administrator certificate, and a School Administrator certificate. 

A meeting of New Jersey Department of Education's State Board of Examiners on July 27 resulted in the revoking of those certificates, effective immediately.

Aluminum Shapes said it laid off 13 percent of its workforce following a workplace safety fine that alleged 51 violation

DELAIR -- A local manufacturing facility was forced to lay off more than 10 percent of its staff following a hefty fine for workplace safety violations, the company announced in a release Tuesday. 

Aluminum Shapes was fined $1.9 million last month by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for 51 violations, some of which related to employees being hospitalized for chemical burns and broken bones.  

The company manufactures products for the construction, transportation and architectural industries, as well as consumer goods and electrical machinery, according to its website. 

At the time of the citations, a spokesperson for the company said Aluminum Shapes had made improvements to the facility's safety, including a tripling of its safety professionals and the addition of an OSHA specialist to help get the company back on track and in compliance with workplace standards. 

"These improvements have made a significant, positive impact on our culture," the spokesperson's statement said. "We have been diligent in addressing the issues OSHA cited in past inspections." 

Citations for chemical burns, broken bones slap $1.9M penalty on manufacturer

But on Tuesday, the company announced 51 layoffs, amounting to about 13 percent of the staff. 

Calling the OSHA fine "onerous," a company statement said that Aluminum Shapes has been "forced to undue the growth" in employees made between 2015 and early 2017, which added more than 100 to the staff. 

The layoffs included unionized employees as well as 10 front office staff members, four of whom were managers, according to the statement. 

"We care deeply about the safety of our employees. As part of our ongoing facility improvements, we've invested time and money toward safer production processes and equipment," the Tuesday statement said. "We devoted thousands of man hours toward training and installing guards and other essential safety measures." 

In its July statement, OSHA noted that the company has received repeated citations for failing to properly train its workforce and provide adequate safety precautions. 

"Despite its lengthy OSHA history, Aluminum Shapes still does not comply with federal safety and health standards," Paula Dixon-Roderick, director of OSHA's Marlton Area Office, said in at the time. "These hazards leave workers vulnerable to the risk of serious injury and possible death."

Aluminum Shapes has moved to challenge the citations and fine.

Styles and profiles through the years in the Garden State.

People seem to enjoy our fashion and style galleries. And, truth be told, I like learning about the history of apparel. So, here we go:

* According to ingenious.org.uk, the trade of jean fabric emerged in the cities of Genoa, Italy, and Nimes, France; the term 'jeans' comes from the cotton pants worn by Genoan sailors.

* Magforum.com notes that America's first fashion magazine was "Harper's Bazaar," first printed in 1867. It was acquired by the Hearst Corporation in 1912 and is currently published in 18 countries.

Never leave fashion decisions to men; Red Cross nurses who came ashore at Normandy following the D-Day invasion in 1944 were apparently expected to do so in skirts and saddle shoes.Greg Hatala | The Star-Ledger 

* Scratchhard.com says that in her lifetime, the average American woman will spend $125,000 on clothes and accessories including 271 pairs of shoes, 185 dresses and 145 bags.

* Infoplease.com notes that women's nominal clothing sizes have increased in physical size over the years in a phenomenon known as "vanity sizing." A size 8 dress with a 32-inch bust in 1967 is now considered a size 0 today.

* Men's suits as we know them today, according to rajasfashions.com, were invented by Beau Brummell, a graduate of the elitist English college Eton. He loathed the decorative court dresses and frocks that men wore and created his own style.

* The site also notes that we have Croatia to thank for the invention of the neck tie, then known as cravats. And the neck tie remains the most popular Father's Day gift in the world to this day. Don't give me one, kids.

From gangsters to "Housewives," this is the ultimate look at the Garden State's most notorious characters

A Pennsauken business that was cited numerous times now claims that the penalties have forced layoffs. Worker safety or continued employment? That's a false choice.

Maybe we misjudged the Trump administration's zeal to erase or ignore important workplace safety regulations. That will be the case if the federal Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) doesn't backtrack on a $1.9 million fine issued against a South Jersey employer with severe, repeated violations.

OSHA announced in July that it had lowered the boom on Aluminum Shapes LLC in the Delair section of Pennsauken. The nearly $2 million fine was assessed after OSHA inspectors' latest visit to the metal fabrication firm. The amount was based on findings of a stunning 51 new violations, even after seven earlier inspections in six years.

Recent worker injuries have included broken bones and chemical burns, so this isn't mere record-keeping or housekeeping stuff.

The company's incredible response to the OSHA fines came this week. It blamed the need to pay the fines for a significant round of layoffs.

In a press release issued Tuesday, the company says it had to lay off 13 percent of its staff. The number of layoff notices was 51. Incidentally -- or, maybe not -- this works out to one sidelined worker per new OSHA violation.

Since privately held companies rarely provide information about layoffs voluntarily (unless a reporter ferrets out a state-required WARN notice), and almost never refer to safety violations in releases, let's make a wild guess about what is going on:

Aluminum Shapes is scapegoating OSHA for its job cutbacks. Those nasty, nasty, nitpicking regulators are to blame for more than 50 new unemployment claims.  

The company's whole effort could be intended for an audience of one: a president who says his role to create jobs, jobs, jobs, and who boasts about low unemployment rates that were calculated under a methodology that he used to trash repeatedly.

OSHA or, precisely, its New York-New Jersey regional offices, are just doing their jobs well. Their administrators don't shy away from stating why they had levied the big fine. One hopes that this dedicated staff can remain employed in a Trump administration that lends its ears more willingly to complaining corporations.

"Aluminum Shapes' extensive list of violations reflects a workplace that does not prioritize worker safety and health," Robert Kulick, OSHA's regional administrator in New York, said in a statement issued in July.

Added Paula Dixon-Roderick, director of OSHA's local office in Evesham Township: "Despite its lengthy OSHA history, Aluminum Shapes still does not comply with federal safety and health standards. These hazards leave workers vulnerable to the risk of serious injury and possible death."

For its part, Aluminum Shapes claims that it has made safety improvements and is grousing about "higher fine amounts" under a new inspection structure. But OSHA is normally such a fly-under-the-radar agency that biting comments like those it made about Aluminum Shapes are seemingly reserved only for workplaces viewed as repeated bad actors.

No one wants to see 51 people lose their jobs. No one wants to see workers lose fingers, either. Aluminum Shapes makes this sound like an either-or proposition. That's known as a false choice.

We don't know the motives behind the company's strategy, but we do know that public relations campaigns are cheaper than making necessary corrections in equipment and training. OSHA should keep the Aluminum Shapes fines in force until it finds that the proper improvements have been made. Then, and only then, should it consider any reductions.

Authorities said the man was knocked down and hit his head on a curb, which caused a brain hemorrhage.

CAMDEN -- Back in May, Jose Rivera-Hernandez was knocked out by a man wearing brass knuckles and struck his head on a curb, according to authorities.

Now, the man investigators say punched him is facing a second-degree manslaughter charge because Rivera-Hernandez died from his injuries Saturday.

The Camden County prosecutor's office said Derrick Cauthorne, 37, followed and attacked Rivera-Hernandez, 53, in a vicious assault May 21 that was witnessed by at least two people and caught on surveillance video.

Cauthorne was on parole at the time, the prosecutor's office said. He was arrested May 31 and initially charged with inflicting bodily injury during a theft, but the state charged him with manslaughter Wednesday due to Rivera-Hernandez's death.

State records show Cauthorne served just over 10 years on charges related to a robbery and a confrontation with police. He is now being held in South Woods State Prison.

According to the probable cause statement and other court documents filed by the prosecution, detectives believe Cauthorne and Rivera-Hernandez had a verbal argument on Federal Street shortly before midnight on May 21.

Rivera-Hernandez and a friend then walked across the street, where Cauthorne followed them to their vehicle in the H&R Block parking lot at 2716 Federal St., detectives allege.

They exchanged words and Cauthorne demanded money while holding the brass knuckles, a witness told detectives.

The video footage showed Cauthorne strike Rivera-Hernandez, then his friend, before hitting Rivera-Hernandez a second time in the face with the brass knuckles, the probable cause statement said.

The blow caused Rivera-Hernandez to fall backwards, strike his head on the curb and lose consciousness, authorities said. Cauthorne then picked up the unconscious man's cellphone and left the area, according to the prosecutor's office.

Emergency responders found the bloodied Rivera-Hernandez going in and out of consciousness, the prosecutor's office said, and took him to Cooper University Hospital. Doctors discovered he had a brain hemorrhage and placed him in a medically-induced coma.

After being transferred to various facilities, he died Aug. 5 at Virtua Hospital in Marlton, the office said.

Medical Examiner Gerald Feigin ruled the death a homicide caused by blunt force trauma to the head.

Court documents state that one of the two witnesses picked Cauthorne out of a photo array shortly after the incident in May.

Cauthorne was paroled in 2015 from his 13 year sentence. According to a 2013 appellate decision, Cauthorne pleaded guilty to escape using a weapon, aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, robbery and drug possession with intent to sell.

The decision states that Cauthorne in 2004 robbed a "prominent attorney" by grabbing him by the throat and demanding money. When police arrested him, he kicked a door open so that it struck an officer and then ran away in handcuffs. He has 21 bags of crack cocaine on him at the time, the decision stated.

The suit says the glamour models carefully guard their reputations and would never consent to the use.

CAMDEN -- Three glamour models have sued a Gloucester City strip club, alleging that its owner used their barely-clothed likenesses to advertise the club without their permission.

According to the suit, filed in federal court in Camden Thursday, Cheerleaders "brazenly and repeatedly, without consent," posted photographs of the models on its social media pages in 2015, benefitting the strip club without compensating the women.

The three women are Sara Underwood, a 2007 Playmate of the Year in Playboy from Portland, Oregon; Cora Skinner, a Santa Monica, California model who has appeared in Maxim and Playboy and on "The Office" and "Deal or No Deal;" and Lucy Pinder, a British model who has been in FHM and on "Celebrity Big Brother."

This exhibit included in the lawsuit shows a 2015 Cheerleaders' Facebook post that pictures Cora Skinner.U.S. District Court documents 

They are seeking treble damages, as well as the amount they would usually get for allowing a business to use their images, according to the suit.

Included as exhibits in the court documents are the three images the models allege Cheerleaders posted on its social media pages. They include two holiday-themed photographs of Pinder and Skinner, posted at Thanksgiving and Christmas in 2015.

The third photograph features Underwood and model Emily Ratajkowski holding cheeseburgers, which Cheerleaders posted to promote a free lunch buffet Feb. 12, 2015. The image is from a Carl Jr. and Hardee's commercial.

This exhibit from the lawsuit shows a 2015 Facebook post by Cheerleaders that features a photo of Lucy Pinder.U.S. District Court documents 

Jonas P. Mann, the California attorney representing the models, wrote in the suit that the posts "falsely suggests plaintiffs' sponsorship, affiliation and participation in the defendant's business."

The women would not consent to their images being used to advertise a strip club, he wrote, because they make their living from their likenesses and identities and such an affiliation would harm their reputation.

They sent a cease and desist letter to MAX Entertainment, the corporation that runs Cheerleaders, on July 31, the suit says. Mann wrote that Cheerleaders' never responded and that the misuse of the images is ongoing.

A man who answered the phone at the strip club Friday afternoon said the lawsuit was "news to us" and declined further comment.

Paramedics in Camden were injecting naloxone, better known as Narcan, left and right on Wednesday after "free giveaway day" provided a bad batch of drugs to users.

CAMDEN -- Paramedics in Camden were injecting naloxone, better known as Narcan, left and right on Wednesday after "free giveaway day" provided a bad batch of drugs to users, according to NBC10. 

Around 6 a.m. on Wednesday, Cooper EMS Chief Steve Hale and his team were dispatched to a call for two overdose victims but before long the number grew to 16, NBC10 reported.  

Hale told NBC10 the spike to 16 in an hour opposed to the nine the team typically sees in a day, came from a bad batch of drugs given out by dealers.

He explained that occasionally dealers have "free give away day" to let people try their products.

None of the victims died, according to the report. 

NBC10 went on the say that throughout 2016, Cooper EMS administered 950 doses of Narcan. This year, however, they have used 1,050 doses so far.

Even today, the Salem County Fair holds true to the county's deep agricultural roots.

PILESROVE TWP. -- The Salem County Fair has always had one focus -- the area's rich farming history.

There are no carnival rides or games, just exhibits related to agriculture.

There had been county fairs in Salem County through the centuries, but in 1959 the Salem County Fair Association was formed and the "modern" county fair began its run.

Early each August the Salem County Fair brings together the county's agricultural community and visitors from far and wide who get a taste of life in the country.

Farm equipment -- antique and modern -- is on display. Animals of all types are there thanks to local 4-H and FFA chapters. Children especially enjoy the animals. Many get their first chance to pet a cow or see exotic fowl or rabbits up-close.

And there are still many prize-winning vegetables and even canned and baked goods to see.

Here's a look back at some of the moments from the fair's history.

Barbara Essigton writes that a biblical quote on an interior wall has given hope and advice to many students.

Camden High School has been the subject lately of views both for and against the  preservation of the 101-year-old building, which is being torn down for a replacement school.

Those in favor of preservation say the old structure should be added to the Register of Historic Places. A lawsuit has been filed which also raises environmental concerns for the community. Conversely, Camden Superintendent of Schools Paymon Rouhanifard has said,"We simply can't put adult nostalgia over the needs of children," but he hopes to include some historical features in the new building.

Having visited the "Castle on the Hill" a number of times, a clear memory comes to mind: walking up the marble steps in the entryway and seeing the engraved lettering of Proverbs 1:7 on the left wall. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. In this case, "fear" means respect.

In the 1900s, when the Bible was respected more in public life than it is today, a portion of it was read daily in many public schools. However, in our current politically correct culture God is not welcome, and the Word of God is banned in many government-run places. Maybe some are threatened by the one book that, if read and applied would make a big difference in one's life.

Whether or not the "Castle on the Hill" is preserved, I would hope that many of its students over the years would have remembered the truth of Proverbs 1:7 and be encouraged by it.

Individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities are accustomed to have to fight at the state and local levels for both resources and attention to issues vital to their needs.   

While no one actively opposes the rights of people with disabilities, very few are willing to risk political capital to really fight for them and their priorities. 

Being a father to a daughter with a developmental disability, state Senate President Stephen Sweeney (D-Gloucester) is a leader who has strived for the rights and independence of all New Jersey residents with disabilities.   

He has a real passion for helping this community that is too easily forgotten by most. Throughout his career, he has been a tireless advocate for this population on many issues, ranging from legal protections to housing, education and employment.

Sweeney continues to be a compassionate and dedicated champion for all people with disabilities. The individuals, families and advocates that comprise this community are fortunate to have someone like him on their side.

Leona Mather, Elk Township

Editor's note: Sweeney faces Republican challenger Fran Grenier in a bid for re-election to his 3rd Legislative District Senate seat in November. The letter writer is head of Gloucester County's senior services division and the former director of its disabled service department.

Consider adopting one of these pets, among the thousands in New Jersey in need of homes.

This information on dog safety was compiled by members of the Dog Bite Prevention Coalition -- the U.S. Postal Service, American Veterinary Medical Association, American Humane Society, Insurance Information Institute and State Farm Insurance.

* If a carrier delivers mail or packages to your front door, place your dog in a separate room and close the door before opening the front door. Parents should also remind their children not to take mail directly from letter carriers in the presence of the family pet as the dog may see handing mail to a child as a threatening gesture.

* People often assume that a dog with a wagging tail is a friendly dog, but this is far from the truth. Dogs wag their tails for numerous reasons, including when they're feeling aggressive. A tail that is held high and moves stiffly is a sign that the dog is feeling dominant, aggressive, or angry.

* Dogs, even ones you know, have good days and bad days. You should never pet a dog without asking the owner first and especially if it is through a window or fence. For a dog, this makes them feel like you are intruding on their space and could result in the dog biting you.

* ALL DOGS are capable of biting. There's no one breed or type of dog that's more likely to bite than others. Biting has more to do with circumstances, behavior, and training.

* Dogs have a language that allows them to communicate their emotional state and their intentions to others around them. Although dogs do use sounds and signals, much of the information that they send is through their body language, specifically their facial expressions and body postures. You can tell how a dog is feeling (sad, tired, happy, angry, scared) by looking at the position of a dogs' ears, mouth, eyes, and tail.

* Dogs are social animals who crave human companionship. That's why they thrive and behave better when living indoors with their pack -- their human family members. Dogs that are tied up or chained outside are frustrated and can become aggressive because they are unhappy. They can also become very afraid because when they are tied or chained up, they can't escape from things that scare them.

The 78-year-old rear-ended the New York State trooper in May

A 78-year-old New Jersey man accused of seriously injuring a New York State Police trooper during a rear-end crash in May has been charged with reckless driving and other offenses, authorities said.

Kenneth Aukett, of the Westmont section of Haddon Township, struck Trooper Craig Foglia on the side of westbound Interstate 86 in Campbell, Steuben County on May 17, New York State Police said in a statement.

Aukett was also ticketed for failure to move over and yield to an emergency vehicle, failure to reduce speed and driving across hazard markings on the roadway.
