Hundreds sought for vaccination drill in NJ
HOPEWELL TOWNSHIP -- Emergency management officials are looking for a few hundred area residents and their cars to participate in a training drill to combat a possible virus or other widespread illness.
On Thursday from noon to 2 p.m. volunteers will be asked to drive through a check-point at the township municipal complex at Scotch Road and Washington Crossing Pennington Titusville Road.
Motorists and their passengers who participate will be directed to a "safe" area where medical personal will ask them a few questions, provide mock vaccinations or medications, and wave them through upon completion.
In return for their cooperation, motorists will receive coupons and be entered into a drawing for prizes for gift cards and certificates from local businesses.
Mercer County officials say there is no connection between this drill and the spread of Influenza A H1N1, more commonly known as swine flu. They said that virus came along after they began planning for this practice event.
For more information, contact the Hopewell Township Health Department at (609) 737 01210, ext. 657.

Remembering Harry Kalas
Philadelphia Phillies Legendary broadcaster Harry Kalas passed away today, and I am so glad I was able to snap this photo of him in May 2008 at Citizens Bank Park. He was the Phillies announcer since 1971, and was able to be apart of two Championships - 1980, and 2008. The airways will never be the same without Harry. There was nothing better than tuning in the AM on a summer night and listening to the Phillies & Harry Kalas.

World Champions Hardware On Display In Philadelphia
ZWIRE Exclusive--
The 2008 World Champion Philadelphia Phillies solidified their place in history today, as they received their rings during a pre-game ceremony at Citizens Bank Park. The crowd of 45,000 was treated with the display of the 14-karat white gold rings, which included 103 diamonds each. It was just the beginning of a roller-coaster of a day, in which the Fightin' Phils stormed back to defeat the Braves 12-11.
It was a day to remember in Philadelphia, and the Phillies proved today why they are World Champions. Go Phils!
