New Jersey Eagles fans preserve
Not many reminders of “Old Man Winter” are sticking around in Millville, New Jersey. While it’s certainly a gloomy Friday, it is a different story inside the Sooy house. They are a group of jolly, happy, Eagles-loving souls without question.
Every Eagles game, a group of fans flock together flying from house to house to watch their Birds. They’ve been doing it for years.
Millville Mayor Benjamin Romanik’s been along for the ride.
“I call myself ‘Ben ‘Birdgang’ Romanik.’ I am the ‘COO of Hosting Operations’ here in South Jersey. It goes through all family and family friends,” Romanik said.
The list of traditions, or maybe superstitions, is long.
“High five for field goal. Two high fives for touchdowns. 55 points that’s a lot of standing and walking,” Romanik said.
Green grass outside was hard to come by during the playoffs here, so naturally one of these diehard fans built a snowman and decked it out in green.
“He’s magical. We have to keep his hat on because that’s the secret,” the group said.
Some may call him Frosty the Snowman, but the Sooy’s put an Eagles spin on this.
“My daughter came out, Jamie and she saw him and said, ‘Oh my God!’ You just made ‘Snoquon Barkley,’ ” Jane Sooy said.
“Snoquon” stuck around for the playoff run and was even rebuilt after melting. When it came to the Super Bowl, the group decided they had to save him. That’s where this superstition thing flies to a new level.
“They ended up getting it into the barrel — our keg barrel — they put it in there, they put it into Ben’s truck, we went over to Cody’s and put it in the freezer,” Sooy said.
Days later, the group went to check on the snowman in the hunting freezer.
With a corncob pipe, button nose and an Eagles beanie worn at the parade down Broad Street, Snoquon is literally chilling before the big game Friday afternoon. There are even buckets of snow nearby just in case he needs a little help.
“It’s a little different but we’re all good with it. It’s weird, it’s crazy, but it’s Philly. It’s us. It’s the Eagles,” Sooy said.
The gameplan now, according to Sooy and the group: “Oh, he’s coming back. Even if he’s a snowball, he’s coming back.”
Come Super Bowl Sunday, Snoquon will leave the freezer and come right back to the same spot he once stood.
“I think the Eagles are definitely going to win and I think Snoquon Barkley is there to help,” Romanik said.

Nearby shooting interrupts 13-year-old’s birthday party in Paterson; 1 killed, 3 injured
PATERSON, New Jersey (WABC) — One person was killed and three others were injured in a shooting in Paterson.
The violence erupted around 6:30 p.m. Saturday near the intersection of East 29th Street and 10th Avenue.
Children nearby gasped in horror at the sound of rapid gunfire. They were just about to sing Happy Birthday to their 13-year-old friend at her backyard party, but instead of blowing out the candles, they ducked for cover when they heard gunshots in the distance.
“Just hearing it – it was scary to witness, to hear. Especially on my birthday. Like a time I’m trying to play with my friends, get together,” said the 13-year-old.
She also says she had a friend who was there who saw what happened.
“He was going to the bodega – he went running back, but he had saw two people come out of a car and then shoot, but it was like an automatic gun,” she added.
Bystanders watched in shock and panic as first responders treated the victims. One of them was lying in the street next to a car and another was on the ground next to a bicycle.
Local councilman Luis Velez says the City of Paterson has taken measures to reduce crime in this part of town – what he calls a ‘hotspot’ — in part by installing security cameras. He is encouraging the community to cooperate.
“Paterson Police is doing their job as I know, they’re doing a great job to reduce crime, but one again we, the police, nobody, not even the news media has a crystal ball to say this is going to happen now,” Velez said, “Some people see corners getting built up, they see activities and they’re afraid to come out and say something, but our police department is trained to keep it confidential and approach to bring the quality of life in this area.”
The 13-year-old hopes her next birthday party is not ruined by the sound of gunshots.
“First we thought it was fireworks, but then we heard sirens and everyone started going home because they were scared,” she added.
