    TRENTON, N.J. (CNS) -- The nomination of Judge Samuel Alito Jr. to the U.S. Supreme Court Oct. 31 was big news around Our Lady of Sorrows Parish in the Trenton suburb of Hamilton, the parish where Alito grew up, received the sacraments of first Communion, confirmation and marriage, and served as a lector. If Alito is confirmed, he will become the second native son of Trenton to serve on the highest judicial bench in the land. The other is Associate Justice Antonin Scalia, who is also a Catholic. The 55-year-old Alito was baptized at Sacred Heart Parish in Trenton. Alito's...

    Divine Allah sat on a red plastic chair inside a one-room efficiency apartment in Trenton, trying to explain the need for black militarism in one of New Jersey's poorest cities. In a little more than a month since opening a Trenton office, Allah, the party's national youth leader, has met with street gangs, held food drives and traveled to the storm-torn Gulf Coast and clashed with police over alleged harassment. Like its predecessor, the New Black Panthers are no new adversary to law enforcement. The original Oakland-formed Black Panther Party, which died out in the 1970s, rose to fame in...

She was already in New Jersey, and the smugglers who'd brought her were threatening to keep her captive if he didn't pay $10,000 ransom.Martins never hesitated. He called 911.On...

    ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) _ Atlantic City has become the fourth school district in New Jersey to recognize Muslim holidays. The city's board of education approved districtwide days off for Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, two sacred Islamic holidays, for the upcoming school year. Previously, under state law Muslim students and teachers were allowed to take off Islamic holidays without being penalized. According to Superintendent Fredrick P. Nickles, about 560 of the city's 7,800 children are Muslim. Board member Cornell Davis, who is Muslim, called the decision ``courageous'' in light of current tensions between Americans and Islamic extremists. ``It shows...

    New Jersey High School Library Creates Homosexual Section By Martha Kleder Trenton, New Jersey’s Central High School plans to institute a “Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender” (GLBT) section to its school library. The move follows a donation of $1,600 worth of homosexual books from the Trenton Gay and Lesbian Civic Association. Seriah Rein, Concerned Women for America’s New Jersey State Director, says the move borders on illegal. “The school is placing itself in the position of going against the spiritual values taught by parents. Furthermore, by law, as a public institution, the school is to teach and reflect community standards.”...
