MORROW The Morrow City Council voted nearly unanimously Tuesday to fire City Manager Ron Few amid a brewing battle between the city and its business and tourism group.

Mayor Pro Tem Hang Tran and council members Jeannell Bridges and Larry Ferguson voted to fire Few while Councilman Chris Mills abstained. Tran made the motion and cited the city's recent battles with the Morrow Business and Tourism Association over funding.

As the MBTA issue was cited, association director Mike Twomey gasped in shock from the audience.

Tran also said she felt Few was circumventing the council with regards to the hiring of certain unspecified department heads.

After he was fired, Few grabbed some paperwork and slumped out a side door behind his desk. Mayor J.B. Burke then asked police Capt. James Callaway to escort Few out of the building if needed.

Few was hired by the council in an equally surprising and controversial move that split the council in January. During his brief tenure, he found himself at the center of controversy again during the hiring of new police Chief Melvin Douglas in August.

The council was split on naming a temporary replacement for Few however. Motions by Ferguson to name police Capt. Greg Tatroe and fire Chief Mark Herendeen failed by a 2-3 vote. A motion by Bridges to name Public Works Director Anou Sothsavath also failed by 2-3 vote.

Ferguson and Bridges voted for Herendeen, Tatroe and Sothsavath, while Tran and Mills voted against them. Each time, Burke cast a tie breaking vote by siding with Tran and Mils.

The council then voted to name Economic Development Director Sylvia Redic as acting city manager by a 3-2 vote. Tran and Mills voted for Redic while Bridges and Ferguson voted against her. Burke again cast the tie-breaking vote for Redic.

Carls Fencing, Decking & Home Improvements, a family-owned full-service home remodeler, has announced that Jackson residents John Way, along with wife Donna Way, have won their $5,000 grand prize sweepstakes. The sweepstakes, initiated in September, offered one past customer of Carls $5,000 worth of home improvement services.

Over 400 entries were received and the winners were announced at the end of Carls Customer Appreciation Day held at 1579 Route 9 on Saturday, October 4, 2014. According to the sweepstakes's terms and conditions, the winner must have been present to win. We entered because we had things we needed done in our house, said Mrs. Way. We will probably use the money to replace some sliding doors and some windows.

Prior to the drawing at 3:00 pm, past customers of Carls enjoyed a day of fun with free educational seminars, pony rides, a petting zoo, face painting, balloon animals, and refreshments. Vendors in attendance included Owens Corning, Uptite Fasteners, Dexerdry, James Hardie, WOLF, FLW International, and Kensington HPP. Kensington, a replacement vinyl window supplier for Carls, donated four gift cards that were raffled off during the event. Personal appearances were made by Kevin Williams from WOBM Radio and Steve Trevelise from NJ 101.5, along with station vans and crews to provide music and entertainment throughout the day. Toms River Mayor, Thomas F. Kelaher, also attended to conduct a ribbon cutting ceremony celebrating the re-branding and expansion of Carls into all areas of home improvement. Carl's, a recent Asbury Park Press 2014 Reader's Choice Best of the Best winner, had revealed a new logo, store-front LED sign, and fleet of vehicles to the crowd.

Our goal with this sweepstakes, and the event as a whole, was to thank our customers for their continued business over the years, explained owner Carl Delpizzo Jr. Homeowners in the area have a lot of choices when it comes to choosing a contractor and the fact that they have put their trust in us is not something we take lightly. This was our opportunity to give back and the day couldn't have been better."

Thursday night games can be ugly, but the Packers should take care of business at Lambeau Field.

The Green Bay Packers offense finally settled in last week against the Chicago Bears, and now the Packers will face another division opponent on a short week, the Minnesota Vikings. Thursday may bring the Packers' first look at Teddy Bridgewater, a rookie quarterback who barring injury will make his second start following a strong debut versus the Atlanta Falcons. Bridgewater is officially listed as questionable with an ankle injury.

Weather could be a factor in the game as well. According to Weather.com, there's a 90 percent chance of rain. That could affect the passing games for both teams. Aaron Rodgers and the Packers are a explosive aerial attack when they get rolling. Poor conditions could limit that success. Instead, the rushing attacks could become key parts to both attacks. For Green Bay, that means a heavy dose of Eddie Lacy. Minnesota is playing without Adrian Peterson, but the Vikings have found a solid tandem to fill in with Matt Asiata and Jerick McKinnon playing well in replacement duty.

Both teams are coming off arguably their best games of the year. Minnesota's victory against Atlanta, however, didn't appear to do much to sway the prognosticators in the Vikings' direction.

All seven of SB Nation's experts sided with Green Bay this week. The Packers have dominated the rivalry in recent years, posting a 4-1-1 record against the Vikings since the start of 2011. The Packers are 3-2 in Thursday night games during the last three years and will have a built in advantage this week. Since the NFL added Thursday night games on a weekly basis in 2006, home teams have had an overall advantage. The short week, plus travel is rough for a road team. Minnesota won't have far to travel, so the impact may be mitigated compared to other matchups.

The SB Nation NFL experts are the only ones siding with the Packers by a considerable margin.CBS Sports' experts all went with Green Bay, as did the crew over at Yahoo! Sports.

Coastal Bridge Construction workers resurface the Tiger Drive Bridge Friday. The bridge project is nearing completion.

The new Tiger Drive Bridge in Thibodaux is expected to open to the public more than a year after the old bridge closed.

The bridge replacement should be complete at the end of next week or beginning of the following week, project manager Devon Overall said Thursday.

The two-lane crossing is being replaced with a three-lane bridge that will allow drivers to make left turns onto St. Mary Street and La. 308 without slowing traffic.

Contractors were finishing laying asphalt on the bridge Friday. All that remains, Overall said, is to add guardrails and siding, stripe the road and set up rights of way.

If weather permits, the project should be finishing up by next Friday, he said.

The bridge closed Sept. 3 last year to allow Baton Rouge-based Coastal Bridge Construction to begin work.

City Council members approved the project in June of last year because of traffic-flow problems. While residents initially viewed the project as a necessary inconvenience, some had grown frustrated over the delays in the project.

Originally expected to be complete by June, crews have been delayed by weather and the delivery of pilings.
