A local pastor and area students team up to create a moving tribute to all mothers.
Everyone has a mother (whether alive or dead, close or distant), and with Mother's Day a few day's away, it's hard not to appreciate the simple and heartfelt beauty of a song recently written by the Rev. Edward F. Namiotka, pastor at St. Joseph Roman Catholic Church in Somers Point. The song is Namiotka's first creative musical attempt and his inspiration was, of course, his mom. It is performed by a group of local elementary school students, and links to a video posted on YouTube (watch it above) are spreading across social media networks. Namiotka provides the best background on the creation of the piece: Each month, when I have a day or two off, I spend some time with my mother at her condo at the Jersey Shore. She and I have grown …

She performs in New York tonight.
Winding between barstools scattered along the slate gray floor, the golden-haired, fair-skinned girl takes a seat alongside three middle-aged men. Unshaven and bleary-eyed, the musicians begin to play as 10-year-old Haley Richardson perches her fiddle beneath her chin. Philadelphia Councilman Jim Kenney noticed “this little angel” immediately, he said. After watching Haley play at the Plough & the Stars in Old City, Kenny invited the fifth grader to be a part of a March city council meeting, where local government recognizes Philadelphia’s Irish heritage for the 22nd consecutive year. “She is savant-like,” Kenney said of the Pittsgrove Township girl. And the at-large councilmember is right. When Haley was three years old, she taught …

The high-flying pro wrestler has lived a wild life, but he’s not ready to quit. He’ll sign copies of his new autobiography at Barnes & Noble in Deptford on Saturday.
You remember Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka. And if you don’t? It’s not his fault. He’ll be 70 in May, but he hasn’t given up the one thing he loves more than anything else in this world, the one thing that made him a superstar: professional wrestling. “I have a hard time trying to stay away from the business,” he says in a rasp that instantly brings you back to the glory days of the early '80s, when he was on television, wild-eyed and ranting about exacting revenge on fellow wrestlers Don Muraco and “Rowdy” Roddy Piper. Snuka last wrestled about a month ago, at a benefit in Michigan. The days of performing his acrobatic signature move, the “Superfly Splash,” from the top rope, are long gone. Now, thanks to a bum ankle, he can only leap from the …
