A Creature In The Night Heroically Saves 89 year old

                                            862-596-2520

Piscataway NJ- On Thursday night Cara Jones was walking her 2 year old Pit Bull, Creature.

When all of sudden Creature kept Barking and looking at Cara as to tell her you have to come see what I see. Creature was very adamant about Cara seeing what was over in the brush.

To Cara's amazement when she went over there she saw an elderly lady trying to get up out of the mud with no shoes on.


Cara immediatlely got on the phone and called police, but she was unaware that earlier in the day police had been looking for Carmen Mitchell 89 who suffers from
Alzheimer's.

Authorities noted that Mitchell already had a slight case of hypothermia.

We are thankful to Cara and her friendly pit who was just in time and saved Ms. Carmen Mitchell. We think these two need to be recognized.

Cara though wants the message that Pit Bulls are good dogs and do some really great things!

We are on board with you Cara with that message and want everyone to know we have a Facebook cause for all animals called "People Paws for Patrick"
Please go to the page and be part of the community that helps animals.

Unveiling of The 4 Real Hero Chaplains

The term hero is used quite often nowadays to describe celebrities who help others, people who go slightly above their means and normal tasks that many consider great, but often question if it reaches
hero status?

Every year near February 3 at St. Stephens Church in Kearny 4 Hero Chaplains lives and their heroic actions are remembered.

The 4 aboard the Dorchester, a military transport ship that was part of a convoy.
During World II on this military ship it was torpedo by A German Submarine ship on February 3, 1943.

As their ship started to sink the 4 chaplains noticed that other sailors did not have life vests they took off their own life vests and gave them to other sailors.
Upon doing this they were seen praying intently as the ship sank.

The Hero's were Reverend John Washington last assignment at St. Stephens Church, Rabbi Alexander D. Goode, Rev. George Fox and Rev. Clark Poling.

This past Sunday marked the 70th year the church has celebrated these 4 Hero's .

They have left an indelible imprint on the community and I am quite sure their memory will never be forgotten at St. Stephens Church in Kearny.

Take a look at the pictures and video below.
Always remember their heroic actions. http://newarknj.patch.com/d/blog_posts/the-unveiling-of-the-4-real-hero-chaplains-statue

Former Mayor Ed Koch passes

Former Mayor Edward  Irving Koch passes. The Iconic Mayor famous for asking, " How Am I Doing?" and noted for standing behind his strong beliefs was 88 years old. Newarkers may not know this, but Mayor Ed Koch went to South Side High School ( now Malcom X. Shabazz) . Koch will truly be missed for his open, honest and in your face style and opinion.

Robin Roberts Returns to GMA on Wednesday!

Update- Robin Roberts today on GMA said she will return sometime in February as her body adjusts to the studio environment. We wish her the best and will be watching!

Roberts will return to make a major announcement as she said on her twitter page:"Happy Friday. Looking forward to sharing news of my recovery with you on Monday @GMA. Have a fantastic weekend! Blessings..X0," Roberts tweeted on Friday.

Then Good Morning America followed up by saying,"We've got a special announcement coming from @RobinRoberts Monday on @GMA. Be sure to tune in!"

Needless to say all of us fans just can't wait till she returns! Roberts has been out since the end of August when her sister, Sally donated bone marrow for her bone marrow transplant. It was successful.

Here is one of my letters to the Editor of New York Daily news about Robin Roberts:

Thumbs up

Newark: Robin Roberts at this year's Oscars goes from lady in red in her dress to lady divine! A year after conquering cancer, she comes out as the Ms. Supreme, and she deserves an Oscar for putting grace, dignity and beauty into Oscar night. She shows us all how to fight a disease. And the winner is: Robin Roberts, in beauty and grace!

Steve Sacco

We wish her all the best and can't wait till her return!
