Katherine Bracamonte, 30, of the Avenel section of Woodbridge, faces charges of driving while intoxicated and endangering the welfare of a child.

She was pulled over shortly before noon on Feb. 15 after Officer Kyle Snyder saw Bracamonte driving eastbound in the westbound lanes of W. Westfield Avenue at Faitoute Avenue, police said.

Bracamonte had three children under the age of seven in the vehicle, police said. The kids were not wearing seat belts or in child safety seats, police said.

Bracamonte also faces motor vehicle summonses including driving while intoxicated, consumption of an alcoholic beverage within a motor vehicle, driving with a suspended license, reckless driving, driving the wrong way on a highway and failure to use a car seat or restraint for a child under 8 years old.

She was later released into the custody of a family member pending a future court date.

The medical malpractice lawsuit filed in Middlesex Superior Court names doctors at St. Peter's University and Robert Wood Johnson University hospitals

NEW BRUNSWICK -- A city man is suing his doctors at two local hospitals over a lost toe following a skiing incident.  

11729757-large.jpg 

The medical malpractice lawsuit filed in Middlesex Superior Court claims that Marc Daniels' podiatrist and other doctors at St. Peter's University and Robert Wood Johnson University hospitals were negligent in treating his injury, leading to the loss of his toe. 

The lawsuit doesn't indicate where or how the initial ski incident occurred.

Daniels was admitted to St. Peters in February 2015, but claims officials failed to refer the man to medical personnel with proper ski training after visiting the emergency room more than once, according to the suit. 

The suit, filed on Feb. 3, claims the doctors failed to provide appropriate care by linking his pre-existing condition with his blood circulation and neurological status, which eventually led to the loss of his toe. 

Daniels' suit seeks relief and damages. The suit names the doctors anonymously and the two New Brunswick-based hospitals. 

Daniels' attorney as well as hospital representatives did not respond for comment.

Firefighters rescued animals from a blaze over the weekend.

South Brunswick fire.jpegMonmouth Junction firefighters battled smoke and flames to save five lives on Sunday -- four cats and a bird. 

SOUTH BRUNSWICK -- Crews battled smoke and flames to save five lives on Sunday -- four cats and a bird -- from a severe house fire.

At around 4:15 p.m., a married couple living in a home on Glenn Court smelled smoke coming from their living room and then saw thick smoke coming from their chimney, according to a statement from police. The couple immediately called 911.

When Monmouth Junction firefighters arrived, they found the fire had "spread up the chimney (and) into the attic and roof," the statement said.

Though the couple was able to get their pet dog out, they told firefighters their four cats and bird were still inside.

Firefighters entered the smoke-filled house and successfully retrieved all the animals and brought them to safety, the statement said.

The fire was brought under control in about 30 minutes, according to officials.

No one was injured in the blaze, and the fire does not appear suspicious, police said. However, it remains under investigation.

The house was severely damaged, officials said, and the couple will be staying with family members.

Mom who abducted own son now burglarizing homes, police say

Amy Streko was recently arrested in two alleged burglaries, police say.

EAST BRUNSWICK -- A woman convicted of abducting her own son two years ago is now burglarizing homes, police say.

Amy Streko, 34, of East Brunswick, was arrested and charged last week with breaking into two homes and stealing thousands of dollars in gold dollar coins, according to a statement from East Brunswick police.

She was charged with burglary, possession of a hypodermic syringe that was later found by police and hindering apprehension for giving a false name to an officer when stopped. She also had an outstanding warrant from Somerset County, the statement said.

In 2015, Streko and her boyfriend, Michael, pleaded guilty and were sentenced to five years probation in Somerset County Superior Court in the abduction of their 8-year-old son from his custodial guardian, previous reports said.

The couple had violated a court order in taking their son from his grandmother's home in Green Brook. They also had been planning a trip to travel the country in their RV as part of a social media project selling food, interviewing people along their travels, and having viewers select upcoming destinations for them, according to a previous report.

Michael Streko, a web entrepreneur, was also accused two years ago by authorities in New York of walking around asking children for drugs.

On Friday, a police officer spotted Streko walking on Ryders Lane and found her with the gold dollar coins, according to the statement.

According to police, she allegedly broke into homes on Milltown Road and Herbert Drive last Tuesday. Roughly $3,000 in gold dollar coins were reported taken from the home on Herbert Drive. It was not clear whether anything was taken from the other house.

A search of Michael Streko's residence -- where Streko had been staying -- uncovered an additional $500 in gold dollar coins and clothing matching what officials say Streko was wearing when she allegedly broke into the home on Milltown Road, the statement said.

Shelter official accused of failing to treat cat with 9 bad teeth

0

The manager of an Old Bridge animal shelter has been charged with animal cruelty.

OLD BRIDGE -- The coordinator of the township's animal shelter has been charged with animal cruelty.

The New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (NJSPCA) has charged Karen Chen on Wednesday with failure to provide necessary veterinary care and inflicting unnecessary cruelty after she allegedly neglected a cat's dental condition, which led to it having nine abscessed teeth, according to a statement from the NJSPCA.

A tooth abscess is a bacterial infection that can be life-threatening, according to Vetary.com.

The cat, named Jupiter, was admitted to the shelter as a stray in late September, the statement said.

The NJSPCA says it determined Jupiter was in pain "as far back as November" but "was provided no medical care" for nearly two months.

The NJSPCA followed up in late December and found Jupiter received the necessary dental work and was eating fine. The cat was eventually adopted out of the shelter, according to officials in the statement.

The Old Bridge Animal Shelter could not be reached for comment on Wednesday.

According to the NJSPCA, Chen has been issued summonses along with a notice to appear in court on March 8. Because Chen is a township employee, the NJSPCA has requested a venue outside of Old Bridge.

Vintage photos of cars and racing in N.J.

Only 14 drivers from New Jersey have started in the Indianapolis 500 since 1911.

I never really liked the term "bucket list," but I will admit that if I had one, it would include a visit to Indianapolis on Memorial Day Weekend for "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing," the Indy 500.

I try to watch it every year, and used to listen to it on the radio (absolute truth) when I wasn't near a TV. The sight of the cars three-abreast coming down the front straightaway, the pageantry and a half million people in one oval container are things I would love to experience someday.

Funny thing is, not a whole lot of New Jerseyans have been to Indy if we're talking about drivers.

They've been running the race since 1911, with only short interruptions for World War I and World War II. Of the thousands of men and, beginning in 1976, women who've driven at the brickyard, only 14 hailed from New Jersey, according to oldracingcars.com.

Some names are fairly well known; Summit's Mark Donohue raced five times and won in 1972; Wally Dallenbach from New Brunswick ran 13 times between 1967 and 1981, and Steve Krisiloff of Newark competed 11 times between 1970 and 1984.

The others? Walt Ader (Long Valley), Norm Batten (East Orange), PJ Chesson (Far Hills), Art Cross (Jersey City), Malcolm Fox (Westville, pictured at right), Walt Hansgen (Westfield), Mike Magill (Haddonfield), Eddie Miller (Dumont), Bob Sall (Cream Ridge) and Jeret Schroeder (Vineland - yaayyyy!!) all started at least one Indy 500.

New Jersey may not have a 500-miler to call its own, but it does have a rich history of auto racing as well as classic cars.

These 2 N.J. school districts are leading the nation in character development

0
0

Twenty-three individual schools in New Jersey also made the national list.

Two New Jersey school districts were among a small number recognized nationally as "Districts of Character" for their work teaching kids what it means to have good character.

Cherry Hill Public Schools in Camden County and New Providence School District in Union County made Character.org's list of Districts of Character for 2017, while 23 schools in the state were named Schools of Character.

The districts and schools will now be in the running for national designations from Character.org, formerly known as the Character Education Partnership, based on the organization's 11 principles of character education.

According to a press release from New Providence schools, the educational movement encourages schools to work on students' ethical, social and emotional development, in addition to traditional classrooms skills.

Important parts of character development include teaching morality, honesty, fairness, responsibility, creativity and respect, and teachers and parents are encouraged to give students opportunities for "moral action," the release said.

Pick a Camden Co. musical we'll photograph

Cherry Hill Superintendent Joseph Meloche said in a statement that the district has been committed to character education in all of its 19 schools.

"On behalf of our entire school community and Board of Education, I am delighted that our district as a whole has been recognized for the work of our students, staff and administrators to foster a culture that develops not only academic achievement, but excellent student behavior and a positive school climate in all of our schools," he said. "We will continue this work moving forward, always seeking to strengthen and expand our character education initiatives."

Two Cherry Hill elementary schools, A. Russell Knight and Bret Harte, were also named to the list of 2017 Schools of Character.

New Providence Superintendent David Miceli congratulated students and staff for their work designing and implementing the character development programs in the district. "Your efforts and passion in our mission have made this achievement possible," he said in the release.

All of the schools and districts that made the lists will be considered for the title of national school or district of character by Character.org.

Twenty-three of the 80 Schools of Character for 2017 are in New Jersey and will be recognized during the New Jersey Alliance for Social, Emotional and Character Development conference at Rider University May 19. They are listed below.

  • A. Russell Knight Elementary School, Cherry Hill
  • Alexander Denbo Elementary School, Pemberton
  • Bret Harte Elementary School, Cherry Hill
  • Broad Street School, Bridgeton
  • Burlington County Alternative School, Mount Laurel
  • Campbell Elementary School, Metuchen

Prom dress project makes dreams come true | Editorial

For the sixth year in a row, the Princess Prom Project is promising that no high school student will miss her junior or senior prom because a dress - as well as a purse and jewelry to match - is beyond her family's reach.

There are stock items you expect to see in a lawmaker's office: computers, certainly, as well as phone lines, coffee machines and American flags.

What you don't expect is hundreds of new or gently used dresses - formals, cocktail gowns - in an array of styles, colors and sizes.

Unless you're talking about the 14th Legislative District Outreach Center in Hamilton, where, starting this week, high school students in the district will be able to "shop" for the prom dress of their dreams - at no cost.

For the sixth year in a row, the Princess Prom Project is promising that no high school student will miss her junior or senior prom because a dress - as well as a purse and jewelry to match - is beyond her family's reach.

N.J. Assemblyman Wayne DeAngelo (D-Mercer) created the project in 2011, turning to area families to scour their closets for the dresses and accessories to make the program work.

And each year he's blown away by their generosity.

Princess prom program enters 6th year in Hamilton

The garments pour in to what's been dubbed the office's "prom room," which is open on selected days or by appointment between February and May for "shopping parties."

Proms do not come cheap.

A recent survey by Visa found that the average family spent $919 to send its teenager off to the Big Night, and in 2015 Fortune magazine cited a strapless little number that retailed for a cool $1,497.

"The Princess Prom Project continues to be a great avenue for families who want their daughters to have that once-in-a-lifetime experience with the price tag becoming overwhelming for families living on a tight household [budget]," DeAngelo said.

The assemblyman has seen first-hand the joy and excitement as his own two daughters headed for their own proms, and says he knows that both the parents and their young women appreciate their gratis trips to the prom room.

The project is open to students who live in the 14th District, which includes Hamilton, East Windsor, Hightstown, Robbinsville, Monroe Township, Jamesburg, Plainsboro, Spotswood and Cranbury.

DeAngelo's office collaborates with youth service and community outreach organizations to make this wonderful project run so smoothly and efficiently.

Kudos to all the partners, as well as to the donors whose dresses glow like multicolored jewels, arrayed on racks and awaiting this year's first batch of "shoppers" to ooh and aah and daydream over them.

A South Amboy police officer has been charged with theft and misconduct.

SOUTH AMBOY -- A township police detective was charged Thursday with stealing thousands of dollars seized from criminal investigations from the station's evidence room.

Det. Matthew Barcheski, 39, of South Amboy, was charged with theft and official misconduct for allegedly taking $3,000 "in various amounts from the department's evidence storage room" over an unknown period of time, according to a statement from the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office.

Popular PJ's Pancake House opening 3 new locations

0
0

The new restaurants are expected to open in April, May and September

PRINCETON -- PJ's Pancake House, the popular breakfast spot that has been serving up pancakes in Princeton since 1962, is expanding, opening three more restaurants later this year.

The new locations will be in Kingston, Ewing and Robbinsville.

The owners, brothers John and Tino Procaccini and their business partner, Zissis Pappas, first took over PJ's in 2011 as the operating partners. Martin Tuchman, whose family owned it for 39 years, remains a silent partner.

By popular demand, the group opened its first satellite location in West Windsor in 2013.

"PJ's is an institution so when we took over in 2011, it was a challenge for us to build it, but we did," John Procaccini said. "Then we said, 'If another one of these works, it's not just necessarily because it's an institution, but it's the actual concept."

He says that other than the typical Jersey diner and IHOP, there's no other pancake houses in the area.

"West Windsor was the test and it exceeded our expectations and I think we're ready to do this big time," he said. "We figured if we're going to do this, we might as well expand rapidly to really saturate the market."

The first one is expected to open in early April in what was the Main Street Cafe in Kingston. The cafe, a fixture in town for 32 years, closed in November, but is being renovated and rebranded as PJ's Pancake House & Bakery.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be served and an on-site bakery will offer assorted pastries and breads and wedding and special-occasion cakes.

"Main Street was a bakery but most importantly for us, with all of our locations, we want to be our own bakery and furnish all of our stores with our own product," Procaccini said.

That location will be followed by the opening of a PJ's Pancake House & Tavern in Ewing in late May or early June. They are moving into what was Cafe Mulino on the corner of Bear Tavern and Mountainside roads.

The last one, another PJ's Pancake House & Tavern, will open on Main Street in Robbinsville. A September opening is planned.

Both the Ewing and Robbinsville locations will serve alcohol and offer a tavern menu with burgers, meatloaf, fish and chips and other diner classics.

"We felt that with every one of them, even though the core business is going to be a pancake house restaurant, the dinner demographic is what needed to be different," Procaccini said.

Gretalia Hospitality Group, which also owns Osteria Procaccini, Trattoria Procaccini, Porta Via and Dolceria, is venturing down to Orlando, Florida, to open their fourth Osteria Procaccini. Procaccini says the area is home to many transplants from the Northeast who crave good, authentic pizza.
