VILLAS — The Herald, via an Open Public Records Act request, obtained a copy of the settlement agreement between Lower Town-ship Municipal Utilities Authority (MUA) and former employee Dawn Cottrell, whose job was eliminated along with another offi ce worker.

MUA will pay Cottrell $25,000 to settle all claims.

At a September MUA Board of Commis-sioners meeting, a settlement agreement was approved with two former MUA employees, Kathy Armbruster and Dawn Cottrell, whose jobs were eliminated in October 2009.

At that time, MUA commissioners approved creation of a new position of chief fi nancial offi cer, and hired Cynthia Oster. In a written statement at the Oct. 16, 2009 meeting, Cot-trell said there was no possibility that a CFO could do the work of the two women. She said she believed the layoffs were for “personal reasons.”

Cottrell said Armbruster was being punished for bringing in a labor union.

The Herald has not received a copy of Armbruster’s settlement agreement and will continue to fi le requests for the document.

Cottrell’s agreement states she was termi-nated effective Dec. 31, 2009 after her position was eliminated through a layoff plan submit-ted to and approved by the state Civil Service Commission. It states Cottrell fi led an appeal

COURT HOUSE — Cape May County ranks third statewide for providing school breakfast to children. Research indicates that improves students’ ability to succeed in school, accord-ing to data released by Advocates for Children of New Jersey.

Accordng to the Newark-based organiza-tion, New Jersey has one of the lowest school breakfast participation rates in the country with 28 percent of eligible students receiving a nutritious start to their school day.

“This is a problem with a win-win solution,” said Cecilia Zalkind, executive director of Advo-cates for Children of New Jersey. “Schools with a lot of children living in low-income families can give free breakfast to all kids at little or no extra cost. This is good for kids – and it’s good for schools, which benefi t from improved stu-dent behavior and academic performance.”

In Cape May County, an average of 31 percent of eligible children receive school breakfast. That means 2,562 eligible children are missing that important start to their school day.

TRENTON — A Middle Township police offi cer was indicted for allegedly stealing over $4,000 in unemployment insurance benefi ts.

According to a release from the state Offi ce of Attorney General, Leon Linthicum, 35, was charged in a Sept. 28 grand jury indictment with third-degree theft by deception.

The indictment alleges that between April 3, 2010 and Aug. 7, 2010, Linthicum unlawfully obtained $4,142 in unemployment insurance benefi ts to which he was not entitled. It is alleged that while collecting those benefi ts, Linthicum was also working as a patrol offi cer in the municipality.

It further alleges that Linthicum did not report this employment to the Department of Labor and Workforce Development.

“The Middle Township Police Department has fully cooperated with the Attorney Gen-eral’s Offi ce in their investigation,” stated a release from Middle Township Police Depart-ment.

Linthicum has been charged administra-tively by the police department, and suspended without pay pending the outcome of criminal proceedings.

WEST CAPE MAY — It was a lima bean dream. Imagine a repast of lima bean soup, lima bean chili, lima bean empanadas and a dessert of lima bean ice cream, and it could even be served on lima bean painted dishes. All this, and more, made its way to Wilbraham Park on Sat., Oct. 8 as part of the 26th annual West Cape May Lima Bean Festival.

According to organizers, approximately 20,000 festival goers attended the event that benefi ts the triangular-shaped park.

“West Cape May was the lima bean capital of the world in the 30’s, 40’s, 50’s and 60’s,”

Lima Festival Was a Bean DreamFor Lovers of the Humble Veggie

said Diane Flanegan, chairman of the event. “They grew almost all of the lima beans for the world,” she added.

The borough lost its claim to international fame when Hanover Farms withdrew its con-tract and moved to California, said Flanegan.

Since 1985 the quirky festival has grown like a proverbial beanstalk. Almost 100 vendors sold their wares. Lima bean T-shirts spouting, “Bean me up, Sprouty!” lima bean jewelry, lima bean hats, birdhouses, and pottery abounded through the packed aisles.

The festival even boasted its own king and queen. Two boxes sat on a table beckoning

WILDWOOD — After a decades-long ab-sence, horseback riding may make a comeback on Wildwood’s wide beaches. Who recalls the professional rodeo on the city’s beach, Oct. 4, 1997? It was likely the last time horses hooves galloped across the silver sands.

The city’s Board of Commissioners discussed, at a special meeting held Tues., Oct. 4, the pos-sibility of allowing horses on the beaches. The cash-strapped city has been looking for ways to

produce additional revenue.“We’ve been talking about this for some

time,” Mayor Ernie Troiano told the Herald.According to City Administrator Chris Wood,

the plan for bringing horses onto the beach is in its preliminary stage.

“We’re looking at bids to rent out horses on the beach,” Wood told this newspaper.

The city is currently gathering information from other municipalities that offer similar services.

COURT HOUSE — For-mer Cape May County Herald employee Ricarte “Rick” Racela, 29, of Villas pleaded guilty before Supe-rior Court Judge Raymond A. Batten Thur., Oct. 6 to an amended charge of com-puter theft of the Herald’s website on Feb. 4.

Racela told the judge he had no recollection of the incident.

Sentencing was set for Fri., Nov. 4 at 9 a.m. before Batten.

The statute to which Racela entered his plea was NJSA 2C: 20-25f.

Racela was charged by Cape May County Prosecu-tor Robert L. Taylor after a month-long investigation of Racela’s personal computer by the County Prosecutor’s Office Computer Crimes Unit.

He surrendered to the Prosecutor’s Office, was served with the charges and released on his own recognizance.

According to Herald Director of Online Appli-cation Development Ben-

Former Herald Employee Pleads Guilty to Computer Theft of Website

jamin Hall, “The Herald website crashed due to a severe and multifaceted attack from a single IP (Internet Provider) address. Using inside information, the attacker probed vari-ous areas of potential vul-nerability. Initial assaults proved unsuccessful, due to unexpected safeguards.

“Undeterred, the at-tacker eventually crippled the system by triggering an action which destroyed the website’s ability to retrieve and present articles to us-ers. To restore the system, an older ‘backup’ version of the system was applied to the website, and Cape May County Prosecutor Robert Taylor, was notifi ed of the attack.”

As part of the plea, Race-la agreed to perform 200 hours of community ser-vice, three years probation, and a $2,000 fi ne.

Additionally, he must have no contact with the Herald website, nor is he to permit any “surrogate to engage in any prohibited contact” with the website, including posting of any Spout Offs.

Further, he is not to interfere, directly or indi-rectly, with the Herald’s business operations.

Defense attorney John Tumelty told the Herald it was not his client’s inten-tion to “make the website crash.”

He maintained Racela’s action was “accidental” and while he “should not have been (in prohibited areas of the site) it was not his intent to crash the site.”

“He has apologized,” said Tumelty.

“It has cost him and his family a lot of worry and concern,” added Tumelty.

Speaking on behalf of the Herald and its staff, Publisher Art Hall, ex-pressed his gratitude to the prosecutor and his dedicated staff for their efforts and professionalism which brought this case to a timely conclusion.

Assistant County Pros-ecutor Dara Paley present-ed the state’s case. She deferred any comment to Prosecutor Taylor.

The crime of computer criminal activity, as defi ned

by New Jersey law, focuses upon the access of any data, database, computer storage medium, computer pro-gram, computer software, computer equipment, com-puter, computer system or computer network.

The law deals with the alteration, damage or de-struction of any data con-tained in those computers or systems.

A person is guilty of the crime if he accesses or attempts to access any data, database, computer or other related medium.

Additionally, the person is guilty who “Accesses and recklessly alters, damages or destroys any data, data-base, computer, computer storage medium, computer program, computer soft-ware, computer equip-ment, computer system or computer network.”

COURT HOUSE — Po-lice departments through-out the nation are asking drivers to “Put the Brakes on Fatalities,” Mon., Oct. 10.

The daylong initiative was designed to make driv-ers aware of safe driving behaviors, thereby helping to keep roadways fatality free for that day.

Last year in New Jersey, 556 people died in motor vehicle-related accidents. That total is down from the

Middle Hoping to Put Brakes on Fatalities2009 total of 583.

That decline is a con-tinuation of a four-year downward trend and is the lowest number of number of recorded motor vehicle deaths in the state since the 1940’s.

While the statistics may be showing a decline state-wide, for two Middle Town-ship mothers, the statistics are all too sobering. Each of the women lost a son in a vehicle-related fatality.

As part of Middle’s “Put the Brakes on Fatalities” awareness, Caryn Rixey

and Linda Tozer, both of Court House, met with reporters to give a face to the need to put a brake on fatalities and to speak about their involvement with the program on a local level.

Rixey’s 17-year-old son Kevin Lamb lost his life in an automobile accident on December 28, 2009 at Shunpike and Oyster Roads. Lamb was Rixey’s only child.

Rixey spoke about the need for newly minted drivers to have the matu-rity needed to operate a

motor vehicle. “I wish they would raise

the driving age to 18,” she said. “That one year may give them the maturity they need.”

“I never thought my son was a bad driver,” Rixey added. “Maturity is such a huge thing. They have to be ready for it.”

“The phones, the tex-ting, the radio, other peo-ple,” said Rixey, all add to a potentially lethal mix when added to a young driver.

While laws have been set in place to limit young drivers, oftentimes they are not obeyed. Talking on a cell phone, texting, and having more than one passenger in the car are often the norm, not the exception to the rule, even though there are laws pro-hibiting the practices.

CAPE MAY – The Philly Pops Orchestra with Peter Nero will be the opening event for the city’s new Convention Hall, Memorial Day weekend 2012.

While the city may have wanted to make the an-nouncement at later date, the cat was let out of the bag during a tense ex-change between former mayor Jerry Gaffney and Mayor Edward J. Mahaney Jr. and Deputy Mayor Jack Wichterman at a Tue., Oct. 4 council meeting.

“Back in June, council gave the approval and I met with Peter Nero and the Philly Pops and we worked out an agreement for them to come down that Memo-rial Day weekend and play a gala fundraiser benefi t for the city,” said Mahaney.

He said the Philly Pops is seeking to separate from the Philadelphia Orchestra and looking for additional venues for concerts due to the weak economy. Mah-aney said the Philly Pops set a standard in music that is nationally known.

Nero, Philly Pops to Open New Cape May Convention Hall

“To have them open our hall will set a standard for that hall,” he said. “It will also eliminate a very basic question that we have all the time: ‘How good are the acoustics in that hall?’”

Mahaney said the answer Cape May’s new marketing director, Mike Whipple will give was, “If the new Convention Hall is good enough for the Philly Pops, it should be good enough for you.’”

The mayor said it gives the taxpayers an under-standing of what the new hall is capable of doing. He said if the city holds such events three or four times a year as a fundraiser, the city will show a surplus of revenue on those types of concerts that will give the city a reserve fund to cover any deficits in operating the hall.

During public comment, following a presentation by city offi cials to establish a tourism utility to handle revenue and expenses re-lated to marketing for the city and convention hall, Gaffney requested a docu-ment from the city covering

construction costs of the hall from the fi rst commit-tee meeting four years ago to the present including

CAPE MAY –— Mike Whipple has been hired by Cape May as Director of Marketing, Communica-tions and Event Sales.

This is the fi rst time the city has hired an individual for this position as it con-tinues to grow and attract new visitors as a travel and meetings destination.

“Mike is joining our city at the right time. We are fortunate to have him join our team,” said Mayor Edward J. Mahaney, Jr. “He is familiar with Cape May and its various attractions in addition to having a wealth of experience in the hospitality industry.”

Whipple was most re-cently the general manager of the Grand Hotel of Cape May, the largest conven-tion and resort hotel in the area. Previously he has served in various manage-

contesting the elimination of her job.On Oct. 20, 2009, the United Food Workers and Com-

mercial Workers Union, Local 152 fi led an unfair labor practice charge with the Public Employment Relations Commission.

The agreement states, as a result of the appeal, a hear-ing was scheduled before the state Offi ce of Administra-tive Law. Local 152 fi led a second unfair labor charge with the civil service commission. The MUA denied any and all liability in the appeal.

The settlement specifi es that Cottrell asserts the pay-ment is for “non-economic damages including but not limited to pain, suffering, humiliation, embarrassment, disability and loss of enjoyment of life. No portion of the settlement payment represents, or is intended to repre-sent payment for loss of income or punitive damages.”

It notes unemployment compensation is not applicable since the settlement amount does not represent lost wages from the MUA.

Cottrell waived any claims against the MUA for attor-ney fees. The MUA also waived its attorney costs.

She agreed not to bring any further claims against the MUA. The agreement does not interfere with Cottrell’s right to fi le a charge with the Equal Employment Op-portunity Commission.

At a Feb. 2010 meeting, MUA employees accused then MUA Executive Director Mike DeMarcantonio of eliminating two offi ce positions to fund the $75,000 to $90,000 salary range for the new CFO position.

Oster resigned her position effective Oct. 1.

School where he was a stellar athlete and father of an 8-month-old daughter, disappeared at approximately 3:15 p.m. on Sept. 20 outside a store on Washington Avenue. He was seen voluntarily entering a 2011 Dodge van.

On Sept. 22, family members reported him as a missing person to the Woodbine State Police station.

Wallace’s cell phone was found in the Germantown section of Philadelphia and later turned over to State Police. On Sept. 20 at around 9 p.m., the van, which he was seen entering, was found burned out in Southwest Philadelphia.

Once notifi ed of the situation on Sept. 22, uniformed troopers from the Woodbine station, along with detec-tives from the Criminal Investigation Offi ce “immediately began gathering information and following investigative leads. As the scope of the investigation broadened, ad-ditional resources within the State Police and cooperating agencies joined in the effort.”

“The cumulative result of numerous in-person inter-views and the gathering of all investigative resources resulted in the identifi cation of suspects as well as the lo-cation of Wallace’s body,” stated a State Police release.

Wallace’s body was found in a small lake or sand wash in the vicinity of Dragston Road in Downe Township, Cumberland County. Examination of the body revealed he had been shot. Identifi cation was made through fi ngerprints.

State Police thanked their law enforcement partners, especially the FBI, Delaware Port Authority Police Depart-ment, Philadelphia Police Department, Cape May Pros-ecutor’s Offi ce, and the Bergen County Sheriff’s Canine Unit with assistance in the investigation.

Agencies involved in the investigation included: N.J. State Police Major Crimes Unit, Missing Persons Unit, Canine Unit, Aviation Unit, Fugitive Unit, Crime Scene Investigation Unit, Marine Bureau and TEAMS Unit.

According to public records, Linthicum’s 2010 base salary as a policeman was $60,388.

“The allegations against Patrolman Linthicum are not consistent with my expectations of proper conduct by a law enforcement offi cer sworn to uphold the law,” said Middle Township Police Chief Chris Leusner. “The indictment of Patrolman Linthicum is in no way a refl ec-tion of the hard working men and women of the Middle Township Police Department.”

“The indictment is merely an accusation and the de-fendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty,” stated the Attorney General’s Offi ce.

Third-degree crimes carry a maximum sentence of fi ve years in state prison and a criminal fi ne of $15,000.

“We’ve contacted Atlantic City,” said Wood.Wildwood hopes to allow the horses, and their riders,

on its beach from October through April. The animals would be allowed to run the entire length of the city’s beach. Offi cials plan for the staging area to be located at Cresse Avenue.

In addition to renting out horses, the city is also look-ing into establishing permits or licenses for owners who want to ride their personal horse.

Wood said the city is optimistic that it can have some-

thing in place that wwould allow for a trial run from late-March until the end of April of the upcoming year.

Participation rates range from a high of 90 percent in Wildwood to a low of zero in Dennis Township. If Cape May County achieved 100 percent participation, the county’s school districts would receive $778,327 in additional federal dollars, according to ACNJ.

Zalkind said ACNJ is releasing district-by-district data to help school and local offi cials, county leaders, parents and nutrition experts identify districts that are doing well on this front – and those that need to rise up to meet the school breakfast challenge. The local data release follows a statewide report on school breakfast, available at www.acnj.org.

Although many districts serve breakfast through the federally funded School Breakfast Program, the meal is usually served before school. Since many children cannot get to school with enough time to eat breakfast before the fi rst bell rings, participation is low. Some school districts in the state and around the nation are overcoming this logistical challenge by serving breakfast in the classroom or using other innovative approaches.

ACNJ is urging districts with high student needs and low participation rates to adopt innovative approaches, which include:

• Breakfast in the Classroom has been show to dramatically increase school breakfast participation, often to nearly 100 percent of students. Typically, food services staff pack meals into insulated totes and deliver them to each classroom. Custodial staff station garbage pails in each classroom where they are picked up after breakfast.

• Grab and Go Breakfast uses breakfast carts located at the entrance of the school or in other high-traffi c hallways. Children “grab” a nutritious breakfast and “go” to their fi rst period class.

• Second Chance Breakfast are delivered during a “nutrition break” in the morning. This is often used in high schools where teenagers may not be hungry when they fi rst arrive at school.

Some New Jersey school districts, including Newark and Perth Amboy, are successfully using such innovative

Antiques & HeirloomsBy ARTHUR SCHWERDT

Art Deco and the Mod-ern Movement in art and design all started coming together with the forma-tion by Walter Gropius of the Bauhaus school in Berlin in 1919. This would fi nally be the new look for the new century, and it didn’t take long for Bau-haus ideas to spread around the world.

There had been other attempts to break away from the endless revival-ism of the Victorian Era, including: the Aesthetic, Arts and Crafts, and Art Nouveau movements. As reactions to industrializa-tion, these movements stressed hands-on artistry and craftsmanship.

The Bauhaus, on the other hand, accepted the inevitability of the machine age, and encouraged a prof-itable partnership between art and industry that would usher in the age of the art-ist as designer.

The whole concept was introduced to the world at the Paris Exhibition of 1925, which had a long French name that was shortened to “Art Deco,” giving the movement a permanent name.

One of the companies operating in Paris at that time was Robj, the pseud-onym of Jean Born. Robj is the perfect example of what the Bauhaus was aiming for. He started in business in 1908, as an in-dustrialist, manufacturing electrical ignitions.

Eventually, Robj took an

interest in ceramics and encouraged artists to send him designs for porcelain novelties, which he would arrange to have manufac-tured. Unfortunately, Robj died in a car crash in 1922, and never go to see the Paris Exhibition.

The company was taken over by a shareholder, Lu-cien Willmetz, and things really took off. He contin-ues the business in what he calls, “porcelain trinkets,” and from 1927 to 1931 held a competition for the best designs.

In 1928, Robj came out with its biggest success and signature product, novelty liquor decanters. They followed that the next year with fanciful tobacco jars. The company closed in 1928, having spanned the height of the Art Deco period.

Meanwhile, the rest of the world was catching up. In England, several ceramic companies got on board, like Burgess and Leigh (Burleigh Ware), Crown Decal, Suzie Cooper and Clarice Cliff.

In America the city fathers of Miami Beach jumped on the Art Deco bandwagon when they re-built the city after a de-structive fi re in 1925.

The Chase Copper and Brass Co. was formed by designers who were miffed when representatives of the Coolidge administra-tion, saying that there was no modern design move-ment in America, turned down an opportunity to participate in a European show. Chase made decora-tive objects like bookends, vases and barware out of industrial parts.

Eventually, the Chicago World’s Fair of 1933 and New York’s Fair in 1930 would bring the Art Deco style to the whole coun-try.

The Modern Movement came to the end in the late 1960’s and early ‘70s with the advent of post-modern and the cynical notion that if soup cans were art than everything was art and if everything was art than nothing was art. So, why not be a Minimalist? Oh Pooh. I think we’ve all had enough of that.

The Modern Movement, which started with the Bauhaus and Art Deco, is always optimistic and

forward-looking. Through the Mid-Century Modern of the post-war 1940s and ‘50s right up to its last hurrah with Wildwood’s

The Coolidge administra-tion turned down an op-portunity to participate in the “Art Deco” Exhibi-tion in Paris, saying that there was no modern de-sign movement in Amer-ica. Companies like Ro-seville soon proved that wrong. Their ‘Futura” pattern was produced throughout the 1930s in several variations. This planter might be more than $700-$800 in perfect condition. With a few chips, it’s still worth $400-$600.

The English may have come a little late to Art Deco, but when they arrived, they arrived in style, as with this artfully hand painted Crown Du-cal epergne (centerpiece) (about $200).

Left: The Modernist movement started in Germany with The Bau-haus in 1919. This exqui-site porcelain sculpture, signed by Weber, the artist- designer, is now valued about $500.

Do-Wop style, is chic, el-egant fun.

It’s also a cosmopoli-tan style. There would be Czecho-Deco, Italian, Deco, Scandanavian Mod-ern, Egyptian Deco, Chi-nese Deco and Tropical Deco.

“One of the most dan-gerous things I see coming around is texting,” said Capt. John Edwards of the Middle Township Police. “Texting mimics impaired driving.”

“It’s up to the responsi-bility of the driver,” said Rixey. “Either they want to drive safe or they want to multi-task.”

Linda Tozer’s, son Mat-thew, was killed by a drunk driver on June 10, 2008. The accident occurred on Route 83 in Dennisville.

“My son was 16,” she said. “He was on a moped. He didn’t even have a li-cense yet.”

The driver who killed her son was a 60-year-old man who had a blood alcohol level at the time of the accident that was more than four times the legal limit.

Tozer addressed the is-sue of driving while im-paired.

“My son was very against drinking and driving,” she said. “I’d like to promote that.”

To that end, Tozer, the mother has addressed high school students at prom time.

Both Matthew and Kevin were classmates at Cape May County Technical High School. They would have graduated together in June 2010.

Rixey said that she has learned of a simulator that lets students experience what it feels like to get into a dangerous situation and have to make the right choices.

“If a child can be in that type of situation and know what it’s like in a simulated situation, then they will think about what will hap-pen,” said Rixey.

Tozer spoke of the ben-efit of defensive driving courses. She shared that her husband had recently

attended such a course and has been able to apply what he learned in everyday driving.

“It would be great if teens could take a course like that.”

Both mothers continue to be a voice for safe driv-ing. They continue to stay in touch with their sons’ friends to voice the need for safety.

“It’s all you can do,” said Rixey. “I’m constantly with my son’s friends on Facebook.”

She has also spoken with parents. “I feel that strong-ly,” she said.

Adults have a respon-sibility to speak up, they said.

Middle Police Chief Chris Leusner spoke of an-other mother who had lost her son to a drunk driver.

Craig Lozier, 20, was killed by a drunk driver on July 21, 2008 while riding his motorcycle on Route 47.

The 20-year-old driver who struck Lozier had an open bottle of alcohol in his vehicle.

“He came down from Philly,” said Leusner. “Why didn’t someone call?”

“Don’t feel like you’re bothering the police,” said Leusner. “If you’re behind someone you think is in-toxicated, call 9-1-1

In a small community like Cape May County it’s hard not to know someone who has not been touched by this type of tragedy.

“We’d be hard-pressed to fi nd someone who hasn’t known someone who has died in an automobile ac-cident,” said Edwards.

“I can’t put myself in their place in being the of-fi cer who comes upon that scene,” said Rixey.

“You do not ever, ever want to be in the situa-tion of being the parent of a child who has died,” she said.

money spend to date, how much is encumbered and “what the balances are.”

Mahaney said council would present a public project review of the con-struction and fi nancing of the new Convention Hall based on the $10.5 million budget. He said of 3,800 permanent Cape May resi-dents and 4,000 property owners, Gaffney was the only person requesting a fi nancial report on Conven-tion Hall.

Councilman William Murray said council mem-bers were receiving regular reports on the project.

The mayor said the city was committed to complet-ing Convention Hall “on time and on budget.” Ma-haney said the project was on target and within budget with contingency money for unforeseen matters that may occur.

Deputy Mayor Jack Wichterman said the re-port Gaffney requested

would be “meaningless.” Wichterman said when the project for the facility was put out to bid, the city hoped for a cost under $8 million.

“We came in substan-tially under $8 million, we are monitoring this, we are paying the contractor as he goes along, we approve bills every month when they are submitted, we are having no problems what-so-ever and in fact we are going to go out for alterna-tives which are things we pulled out of the bid but now we can afford to go out for some alternatives we did not have in the original bid,” he said.

Mahaney said he city would furnish Gaffney with a financial report but it would be difficult to in-terpret.

“All I’m going to tell you is that there is nobody at this table that wants to be sitting here Memorial Day weekend explaining why the building didn’t open,” said the mayor.

Whipple was named Tourism Professional of

the Year by the Maryland Tourism Council in 1996 and Hotelier of the Year from the Maryland Hotel and Lodging Association in 1999 after serving on their board for many years.

Whipple’s responsibili-ties will include marketing and event sales for the new Cape May Convention Hall in addition to developing the long-term strategic planning, branding and marketing for the City of Cape May.

WILDWOOD — Wild-wood Police responded to a call at 3300 Hudson Avenue for a report of an audible burglar alarm on Sat., Oct. 8.

Upon their arrival, police found the residence to be open and unoccupied. It was obvious that entry had been gained, according to a press release.

A call was made to the Cape May County Sheriffs Department K-9 Unit to assist with the search.

An investigation by the Wildwood Police and the County Sheriffs Depart-ment led to the arrest of

Arrest Made in BurglaryWayne Spaulding, 48, of the 300 block of West Wildwood Avenue. Spauld-ing was charged with bur-glary and receiving stolen property.

During the processing procedures, Spaulding be-came violent and assaulted several police offi cers. He was additionally charged with aggravated assault on police and obstruction.

Spaulding’s bail has been set at $75,000 cash.

approaches to expand school breakfast participation. They note that providing free breakfast to all students increases their federal reimbursements, which cover the cost of the breakfast program.

“It has been a tremendous success,” said Tim Linden, Perth Amboy’s food services director. “It’s easy, clean and neat. The children are a lot less aggressive and more eager to learn. It has been a big win not only for parents and students, but for the district, as well.”

In addition to educating local offi cials about the issue, ACNJ has called on the state departments of education and agriculture to provide leadership in helping schools achieve the goal of serving at least 60 percent of eligible children statewide.

bean lovers to nominate themselves or a loved one for the coveted crowns. Next to them were the paper crowns that would be placed upon the beans of the royal pair during the coronation. The criteria for being named a member of the royal lima lineage? Luck of the draw.

Brooke Dodds of North Cape May and her business partner Amanda Pierce of Villas were taking it all in. The duo are owners of Empanada Mamas, a company Dodds started in 2010. This was their fi rst Lima Bean Festival.

Their lima bean turkey empanadas sold like hot cakes. “We’ve been selling lots of these,” said Dodds. Irene Gibbons of Cape May stood in line awaiting her

empanada. A true lima lover, Gibbons shared that she loved all things lima bean.

“I love them!” she exclaimed. “I love them just plain. There’s a texture to them that other vegetables just don’t have.”

Joe Battle, owner of J.B.’s Barbeque and a 40-year resi-dent of West Cape May, couldn’t agree more.

“I love lima beans,” he said. “I love the taste of them. I eat them all the time. Any way you make them, I eat them.”

One of the more interesting offerings at the festival was a newcomer to the menu, lima bean ice cream. Offered by Bliss Homemade Ice Cream in Cape May, the frozen delight was a hit.

According to Mike Boschen, the cold confection is made with a combination of corn, lima beans and bell peppers, then pureed so there are no chunks in it.

“Nicole is very adventurous,” said Boschen, referring to his wife’s lima bean culinary creation. The couple co-owns the shop that opened on July 2 of this year.

Joe Meyers of Baltimore was found stocking up on lima bean soup from Vanthia’s. Meyers was in town for the festival as well as an opportunity to bird watch. This was Meyers’ second festival.

“We’ve won for best dish in 2003 as well as most creative way to use the bean,” said Vanthia’s owner Demetria Mercado, as she ladled out a bowl of soup for a reporter to sample.

“All of the lima bean food sold out, as well as the other food,” Flanegan told the Herald.

“People told me it was the best lima bean festival ever.”

and advocates will use this information to convince school boards and super-intendents that expanding school breakfast makes sense for children, their districts and the state as a whole,” Zalkind said.

“This small investment can leverage the consider-able funds we spend on educating children and keeping them healthy,” Zalkind added. “Our chil-dren need and deserve this healthy start to their school day.”

WILDWOOD — The Board of Commissioners is in the process of amending the city’s trash collection ordinance that will limit the number of trash recep-tacles that may be collected at curbside.

During their Oct. 4 meeting, Commissioners

Wildwood to Limit Trash Cans at Curbdiscussed amending the ordinance to allow no more than 12, 32-gallon recep-tacles with a maximum weight of 50 pounds per receptacle, or, four 96-gal-lon receptacles to be placed at curbside.

The amendment applies to households, hotels, mo-tels, restaurants, boarding houses, markets, stores, mercantile establishments

or other places of habi-tation or commercial or residential operation.

“Only the allotted num-ber will be taken,” City Administrator Chris Wood told the Herald.

If a property has more trash than the allotted amount, “the owners will have to make arrangements to have the trash removed by an independent con-

tractor.” The city contracts out

its trash removal. Reduc-ing the amount of trash collected may result in a cost-savings.

“If anything, it might save the city as much as $100,000 in tipping fees,” said Wood.

Owners will be respon-sible for obtaining the appropriate receptacles,

which “shall be rigid in construction and have a snug-fi tting top.”

According to Wood, the trash collection will con-tinue on the same schedule of twice-a- week during the summer months with a switch to once a week in the winter.

The amendment to the ordinance does not affect collection of recyclables.

WILDWOOD CREST — Boat owners beware – parking or storing multiple boats or personal water-crafts in the borough may become more diffi cult.

During the Wed., Oct. 5 Borough Commissioner’s meeting, a new ordinance restricting the parking and storage of boats and per-sonal watercrafts on private properties in the borough was introduced and re-ceived its fi rst reading.

Crest May Limit Boat ParkingThe introduction was

as follow-up to concerns raised by a resident at the July 20 meeting.

At the meeting, Bill Hoe-ger of Atlantic Avenue, told the commissioners about a property near his home where, during the winter months, 22 watercrafts were stored including two boats and 17 jet skis.

“Is there an ordinance as to the amount of watercraft parked on a property?” Hoeger asked the board at the July meeting.

“I will look into it and get back to you,” Mayor Carl Groon replied.

The new ordinance re-stricts the number, as well as the size of boats and watercraft that are parked on private property.

“Motorboats, sailboats, motor crafts and water-crafts, or any trailer car-rying the same, of not more than 26 feet in total length may be parked on private property, provided the owner of the motor-boat, sailboat, motor craft and watercraft is the oc-cupant of the premises on which the unit is parked,” states the ordinance. “No more than one motorboat or sailboat, and/or two personal watercrafts shall be permitted to be stored

on private property.”The ordinance also de-

clares that in order to park boats and watercraft great-er than 26 feet in length, will require review and approval by the borough’s zoning offi cer.

Marinas and yacht clubs are exempt from the provi-sions of the ordinance.

Violators can face fi nes up to $1,000 for each of-fense or imprisonment in the county jail for not more than 60 days. Each day that the violation continues will be deemed a separate offense.

A second reading of the ordinance, public hearing as well as its adoption, is scheduled for the next Commissioners’ meeting on Wed. Oct. 19 at 7 p.m.

VILLAS — Marvin Hume was honored at the Octo-ber monthly county meet-ing of the Veterans of For-eign Wars for his 30-plus years of honoring deceased United States armed forces members at Sunset Beach.

Each evening during the season, Hume honors those veterans by flying their individual casket fl ag, provided by their family, ac-knowledging their service, and the playing of “Taps” at the fl ag lowering.

Cape May County VFW Commander William How-ard presented Hume with a ceremonial bugle to be used as needed, at the sunset services. The bugle

Hume Honored by VFWwas purchased from dona-tions received from all VFW Posts in Cape May County.

Hume is a member of Cape May VFW Post 386. He has been honored on national TV, numerous press releases, and veter-ans’ organizations for his dedication in remembering our veterans.

Following the monthly meeting, all were treated to a lasagna dinner provided by Cape May VFW Post 386 Commander Andy Barber, his wife Diane and members of Cape May VFW Post 386 Ladies Aux-iliary.

By REV. JESSE S. McLAIN

One of the first ques-tions I was asked when I returned from Haiti last week was, “how much progress has been made in the reconstruction?” The answer to this question is complex. Much has been done to clean up from last year’s earthquake and rebuild damaged build-ings. But the loss of life and the many people who suffered crippling injuries has permanently affected the people of Haiti.

What is more compel-ling, the underlying pov-erty, which makes these natural disasters even more devastating, is still prevalent; and there is still much reconstruction to be completed. But this is the need and opportunity. Something I found perva-sive in Haiti was hope.

Hope is the resource, which looks beyond the immediate need and sees the real possibility of a brighter future. The eight men who were part of our

Haiti, Continuing Hopeteam worked on a school building in the village of Bayonnais.

We witnessed hope in the lives of children who attended the school. When our work on their roof was fi nished, the children climbed up on top of the building and played on our concrete forms and supports. Their laughter and joy was an example of hope. When we asked the children what they were so excited about, they told us that we were helping to fi n-ish their school and church building. This is hope! While we were there we visited the homes of several people who were so happy to have us stop by. Their smiles and conversation were full of hope.

Since I last visited the school, they have com-pleted the outside wall, which provides security for the campus. They have also installed a pure water plant, which provides the villagers with clean drink-ing water for just pennies a month. They have also

This week’s column tells the story of Robj, a French company at the center of the Art Deco movement. In 1928, their decanters became an International rage, as evidence by the Dutch boy, the English fox hunter, and the fi gure of Napoleon. Each of these is valued in the $1,000 range these days.

Not only is “ringworm” a skin infection caused by a fungus (not a worm), it is the most common condition that people contract from cats. The fungus, which can also affect dogs, appears much like dandruff does on the pet’s fur. Tinea, which is the medical name for ringworm, appears on the body as a circular red rash with active borders that slowly grow. It is important to have the dermatologist make an accurate diagnosis, as there are a number of skin conditions that manifest themselves similarly and require very different treatments. This contagious condition also appears on the hands, face, scalp, groin, and other areas, and symptoms may vary. Treatment invariably calls for an oral or topical antifungal medication.

If you have patches of skin that are itchy, red, or scaly with blister like bumps that have not improved after a week of using an over the counter anti-fungal, see a dermatologist. For more information, call LAWRENCE PAOLINI D.O., P.C at 609-465-8788. We are conveniently located at 105 NORTH MAIN STREET, CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE. Visit our website at www.paoliniskincare.com to learn about skin conditions and the wide range of services we offer.

P.S. Ringworm in the beard or scalp can result in bald patches.

Let’s raise a glass to a fabulous 102-regular season wins for the 2011 Phil-lies. This was the second straight year Philadelphia started the playoffs boasting baseball’s best record, but somehow that toast tastes more like warm soy milk instead of chilled cham-pagne.

A post-season run that began in 2007 continued this year with a fi fth straight National League East title. The assembled multi-mil-lionaire starting pitchers came into April with im-pressive resumes and high expectations. A void in right-handed hitting was miraculously turned into another superb mid-season acquisition with quirky but effective Hunter Pence.

Many on the roster were recognizable names familiar to electronic media-con-suming baseball followers. Five straight playoff appear-ances, magazine covers and 200-plus sell-out crowds at a beautiful ballpark will gar-ner attention. This team, with the Yankee-like pay-roll, was in the cross-hairs of opponents all season yet they eclipsed the century plateau in wins.

But you’d expect playoff-tested veterans to shrug off post-season pressures.

Disappointment Continues for Phillies, Fans

Cole Hamels was the lone member of this year’s start-ing staff who also took the hill for the 2008 glory sea-son but the other aces had been around the league for many years and had dealt with expectations. Much of the starting eight were also in the same red pinstripes three long seasons ago.

Aside from changes with the base-running and hit-ting coaches, Charlie Man-uel’s staff was pretty much intact over these handful of productive years. The front offi ce retained 2008-team architect Pat Gillick as a consultant, however, one executive did mysteriously depart late in the 2011 campaign.

So what went wrong?For those who desire

one-word answers, we’ll say, “hitting.” A collective failure of a once-proud line-up was the Waterloo. They suffered signifi cant Injuries, but everyone deals with ail-ments when playing sports

on a daily basis. Watching so many Phillies slump at the same time was mystify-ing and disappointing. The lumber slumbered mightily which pressured the pitch-ing and defense to shut down opposing teams.

Under Manuel, the Phil-lies seldom attempt to man-ufacture offense with steal-ing, bunting or hit-and-run strategies. Manuel, we’re told, does not like to give up outs, so “small ball” is often ignored in Philadelphia. The team was not blessed with great speed and losing coach Davey Lopes didn’t help their base running, which can be huge when the bats go silent.

The problem with go-ing “all in” and failing to be fi tted for a ring is that the remnant of aging and injury-prone athletes and a payroll more bloated than the Michelin Man. You can add the presence of expiring contracts for po-tential free agents who spent the season observing millionaire teammates in the clubhouse.

Will the club be outbid for emerging closer Ryan Madson? Can the team let franchise face and defensive wizard Jimmy Rollins go home to the California bay area? Can the odometer on Roy Oswalt be turned back or should the team write the pay-out check and see if bespectacled Vance Worley is more Clark Kent or Superman?

Should the organization have awarded fading run-producer Ryan Howard with a fi ve-year extension for $125 million? Was Ru-ben Amaro’s beverage all over the back of the chair in front of him when he saw Howard sprawled across the first base chalk line? Howard is a big man with limited mobility, suspect defense and now a serious leg injury. And there’s no designated hitter role to fall back on.

Chase Utley is a fan fa-vorite and deservedly so, but his all-out style results in lingering physical dam-age which curtails his late-season production. Utley is a gamer with fantastic base-running skills and a quick left-handed stroke but how much does his lean

body have left to give?Placido Palanco played

superb third base despite a hernia injury. His offense suffered and he’s the old-est of the starting eight. The team needs a solid bat at the hot corner and Polanco’s case will be in-teresting as the trading and free-agent season begins next month.

Catcher Carlos Ruiz is a gritty defender who blocks every dirt ball and with-stands punishing collisions while squeezing difficult short-hop throws from 300 feet away. But the wear of crouching and constantly being nicked by misdi-rected baseballs ruins his hitting each season. Ruiz needs more rest during the season and they’ll need a back-up who can duplicate his defense for about 50 games a year.

The outfi eld is a question mark because centerfi elder Shane Victorino may be the only valuable trade chip the club has. He’s solid with the glove and brings a decent bat to the lineup. Left fi eld is open although John Mayberry Jr. deserves a legitimate shot to win the job. Mayberry may also take over fi rst base while the big man recovers.

Raul Ibanez is a seasoned veteran, a gentleman and a great athlete for his age but his best days are behind him. Unless he accepts a one-year discount deal for a part-time role, the team needs to move on. Right fi eld is in good hands with immediate fan favorite Pence.

The bullpen is annually up in the air anyway. Brad Lidge gets a tip of the cap for an unforgettable 2008 but he’s more shot than the 1999 Chrysler in your neighbor’s side yard. Low cost lefty Antonio Bastardo would make the ‘pen stron-ger if he can regain his mid-season form.

The other spots will probably be reserved for inexpensive arms like Mi-chael Stutes. Anticipate some farm team promo-tions for middle relief since that role is not supposed to be as crucial with stellar starting pitching expected to keep the ball into the late innings.

Phillies followers know 2008 was the exception, not the rule. But chew on frustration like low-fat oatmeal. We should be accustomed to the feeling by now.

COURT HOUSE — Democratic candidate for Middle Township Commit-tee William Sturm issued two releases that called for a township-wide revalua-tion and his Campaign for Fairness for township tax-payers.

Sturm stated his discus-sions with “many hundreds of people...” who know they must pay taxes, but whose properties were revalued at the height of the real estate boom.

Many have fi led appeals, Sturm noted, and thus they pay lower taxes. Many of those, he stated, are com-mercial properties, golf courses, shopping centers and as-yet not built subdi-visions.

He said that the town-ship lost “nearly $100 million in its ratable base due to those successful appeals. Due to that, he said, “The tax rate had to increase just to make up for that lost revenue.” A

Sturm Would Revalue Middle, Strive for Fairness

township-wide revalua-tion will cost money. The expense can be paid over fi ve years, and not all at once,” he stated.

He said appeals mean defending the valuations, and “paying back taxpayers money that they are found to have overpaid.”

Assessments that refl ect the current realities would eliminate those expenses, and likely pay for the as-sessment,” Sturm stated.

Regarding his pledge for fairness, Sturm stated, “If I am elected, I pledge that I will work for fairness for all Middle Township residents and use some common sense to fi x what is not fair.”

For property taxes, he supports a revaluation of real property.

Many have told him they “feel that they are getting less and less in return” for their taxes.

While they pay taxes, many told him the mu-nicipality looks “dirty and cluttered. In some parts of the township, there are shopping carts, litter and trash all over the place, and some...recreation facilities are not as well kept as others.”

He pledged to improve public works services.

“If it means we need to hire more people, we need to do it,” he stated.

Citing “murders in mo-tels, home invasions, rape and other major crimes,” Sturm said he would “make a plan to get more police officers, and I will work to shut down motels that are just a stop off for crimi-nals.”

He also vowed to work to implement a sewer system fee that is fair to all users.

Resting? Waiting for the stripers? There’s still plenty of news on the fi sh-ing scene. Sterling Harbor reports that as the waters are cooling, the mullet are making their move out of the back-bays with plenty of bluefi sh chasing them. Look for bird-plays around the Inlets and along the beachfronts.

Tog fi shing is excellent around the bridges and jetties using crab for bait. Schoolie stripers are still thick in the back-bays along the sod banks and can be caught using top water plugs such as Smack-Its or Storm Chug Bugs and the like. Crabbing is still improving, however time is limited, so hurry up and make another crabbing trip before they start burying in the mud for the winter.

Offshore, the yellowfi n tuna, white marlin, and dolphin bite is excellent as the fi sh are feeding up be-fore their migration south. Sterling Harbor’s end of season kayak clearance is in full swing. Stop by to check out the great deals.

Grassy Sound Marina is reporting tog behind Stone Harbor, stripers on surface plugs in Drum Thoro-fare, trigger fi sh in Cape May Inlet and kingfi sh on the beach. The Kirban Crew, Kintnersville, Pa. caught a 25-inch fl ounder in Turtle Creek on min-nows closing day of the season. They also had a couple dozen crabs. Steve Haubois, Court House, reports catching some nice tog behind Stone Harbor on green crabs.

Weather and seas kept

Stray Cat Char-ters from fi shing the Canyons but the tuna are run-n ing now and weather windows look good. Stray Cat is booking striper trips for later in the month and into November. (391-9630).

Captain Ray, Tide Run-ner, Cape May, says the water is getting better at the inlet and he’s started getting some nicer fish again along with bluefi sh for fl y anlgers. The best ac-tion has been in the ocean on synthetic bunker and canary yellow buck tail deceivers. It should get better as migrator fi sh start moving down. Water is still not back to normal but it is a lot better in the inlet and the ocean.

Ray also sent me some pictures from the third an-nual Casting for Recovery. SJCFA Members had a great day being River Guides for the ladies. SJCFA helps them with fund raising and ties fl ies so that all the participants will have a box full of good fl ies for their day on the water.

Club members showed up at Outdoor World Camp Grounds at 8 am for coffee and donuts and got equip-ment ready for when the ladies arrived. Outdoor World has donated the use of their private lake for the event each of the last three years which is perfect as some of the participants have some effects from their cancer ordeal, so tromping through heavy bush and mush is not an option.

For many of the ladies, this is the fi rst time they have ever fi shed let alone fl y fi shed. They all caught some fi sh. The key is for them to have a great time, so size and number are not the main focus.

This year L.L. Bean gave the club a super deal on starter fl y outfi ts and each lady got a brand new outfi t.

The fl y community really steps up and supports this ef-fort. Chuck Furim-sky a SJCFA mem-ber and owner of The Fly Show, and The Tying Sympo-sium was there as a guide and provided

them all with admission to the tying show plus he donated some special fl ies. Brad Buzzi, donated a special edition Pink Crease fl y and helped the club get the fl y boxes for all the fl ies given to the ladies. The club gave them all one year club memberships to make it easy for them to improve their fl y fi shing skills with their new equipment. It makes for a memorable day for all those involved.

Local resident Gary Rudy, IFPA executive di-rector, just returned from a great 2 week fi shing trip in Alaska. Gary had 3 days of helicopter fi shing where they fl y you out to a remote river, drop you off with a raft, tent, and a fl y rod, then come back 3 days later and pick you up where they think you should be. He caught 3 kinds of salmon, rainbow trout and Dolly Varden. (Dolly Varden are a char. To tell a char from a trout, look at their spots—char have light spots (white or yellow to red) on a dark body, while trout have dark spots (brown to black) on a light body.)

Gary averaged about 20 fish a day with many of the rainbows being in the

VILLAS — Lower Town-ship Municipal Utilities Au-thority (MUA) introduced its 2012 budget which contains no rate increases for water/sewer customers but contains an anticipated $322,000 shortfall.

MUA’s proposed 2012 water operating budget to-tals $3.6 million, its sewer budget totals $5.4 million.

At an Oct. 5 meeting, MUA’s Board of Commis-sioners voted to approve the budget’s introduction.

While more water cus-tomers are anticipated in 2012, in particular in Town Bank where water mains have been installed, MUA Executive Direc-tor Matthew Ecker said the authority is waiting for state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) approval and may not have the ability to con-nect new customers in that area right away.

That revenue cannot be anticipated in MUA’s 2012 budget, he said.

MUA Board of Com-missioner Chairman Nels Johnson said in a two year time frame with 3,000 anticipated new water cus-tomers, the shortfall should disappear.

In 2009, then executive director Mike DeMarcan-tonio said MUA had been

Lower MUA Introduces 2012 Budget with Shortfalloperating with a $600,000 shortfall for fi ve years.

Engineer Marc DeBlasio said the Town Bank water project phase one was es-sentially complete with the exception of road restora-tion. He said the contractor was installing extra water main at the site of a new well, Well 8.

The contractor, Pioneer Pipe, is returning next week to install water mains off the main trunk line and put water meters in place for future connections at homes, said DeBlasio.

Design for phase two of the Town Bank project is completed and is awaiting authorization from the state Department of En-vironmental Protection for a water main permit. DeBlasio predicted MUA would have the permit in a few weeks.

Once MUA has the per-mit, it can go out to bid for the project.

Commissioner Thomas Brown suggested MUA update Town Bank resi-dents on the schedule of the project.

“A lot of people got real excited when the main starting going in,” he said.

Ecker said DEP had 45 days to deny or issue a permit but that time frame is not always followed. He said he did not want to present a work schedule when the MUA was wait-ing for a state permit.

Ecker said MUA has been waiting 11 months for a wetlands permit for the authority’s solar farm, normally a 90-day process. He said MUA reengineered the project, keeping it out of wetlands buffers.

CAPE MAY — Dogs on the ferry, dogs on the bus, dogs on MAC’s trol-ley tour looking at historic houses, even dogs at the Ugly Mug.

All the pooches missed in Cape May were the fudge stores and they would have shopped there if given the chance.

Has this city gone to the dogs? It did Sat., Oct 8 when members of Guiding Paws of Delaware and New Jersey took future Seeing Eye Dogs for a training trip on the Cape May-Lewes Ferry from Lewes, Del. as foot passengers, a bus ride to Washington Street Mall and on a Mid-Atlantic Cen-ter for the Arts trolley for an historic district tour.

Guiding Paws volunteers act as foster parents 12-16 months for puppies destined to become Seeing Eye Dogs.

Guiding Paws of Dela-ware Director Martha Irion, who arrived with her Ger-man Shepherd in training, also named Martha, said the club gets the puppies when they are seven weeks old.

Her puppy bearing the same fi rst name as its owner is a coincidence since See-ing Eye names the dogs, she said.

After 12-16 months, the dogs then go to Seeing Eye Dogs in Morristown for

Pups Have Dog Day Afternoon in Cape May

evaluation and additional training if they are deemed suitable.

“We provide a home life for them and teach them how to live with a family,” said Irion.

Volunteers are reim-bursed for food and vet-erinary bills. The dogs are exposed to as many outside activities as possible so they experience being on a train, in a bus, visiting ballgames and malls, anywhere a blind person may take them in the future, she said.

“So when they go back to the Seeing Eye and they hear a train whistle or a car riding by them they are not freaked out, they are like ‘Did that before,’” said Irion.

hand for Town Bank phase two, Ecker said homeown-ers would be alerted with a reverse 9-1-1 phone system call and a mailing. MUA’s field inspector will also speak with residents, he said.

DeBlasio said MUA was waiting for a permit for Well 8 from DEP’s Bureau of Water Allocation. Ecker said 30-inch water main from Breakwater Road to Well 8 would be installed as part of the Town Bank project.

Ecker said the solar farm was nearly complete, all the fi elds were generating power with the exception of one section where a transformer will be in-stalled.

Ecker told the Herald last month it is estimated the solar fi eld will save MUA as much as $15,000 per

month. He said the solar panel electricity savings would not be fi gured into the utility’s 2012 budget since there is no track record.

Ecker said savings would be realized which should reduce electricity costs adding money back into MUA’s general fund.

In April, Lower Town-ship Deputy Mayor Kevin Lare speculated MUA had as much as a $4 million cash surplus.

At that time, Ecker replied that actual cash on hand after all bond notes were satisfi ed was $915,741.

The proposed 2012 wa-ter budget projects operat-ing revenue from 6,866 units, up from 6,447 this year.

are “puppy raisers,” and not formal trainers which is handled at the Seeing Eye headquarters.

Potential Guiding Paws volunteers fill out an ap-plication to Seeing Eye and attend one puppy club meeting and one activity per month, said Irion.

The minimum age to vol-unteer is 9 years old.

The hard part of being a Guiding Paws volunteer is giving up a dog that has lived in your home for more than a year.

“She is my 18th puppy and I cry when they all go back,” said Irion.

Another dog is in her future that could either be a seven week old puppy or an F.O.P. (Family Out of Pro-gram) where a family can’t

complete raising a young dog and it goes to another volunteer.

A total of 27 volunteers and 13 puppies made the trip to Cape May, some coming from Delaware, others by car from Chester County, Pa., Ocean and Cumberland counties.

Irion said the volunteers love taking the puppies on daytrips and the dogs re-ceive lots of attention from the public. The dogs wear a green vest identifying them as Guiding Paws.

Guiding Paws breeds include German Shep-herds, Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers and Golden Retriever-Lab mixes referred to a “crosses,” she said.

highly developed skills and abilities.

Right now, International Christian Development Mission, the group which runs the school, is looking to add a trade school, fi nish the School of Evangelism building in Cap Hatien, rebuild their headquarters building in Port Au Prince, and add new schools in other communities around Haiti.

This kind of vision is the surest sign of hope for Haiti. Hope is built on dreams and vision and no visions are more powerful than those, which see the potential in children and young people.

We witnessed just a small portion of the hope, which will bring Haiti into a brighter future. But what we saw is enough to inspire us and draw us back to

this nation of beautiful and hopeful people.

As a team we want to thank the people of Cape May County for supporting us with their prayers and for donating the money and materials we needed for our project. Their com-passion for the people of Haiti and their willingness to give so abundantly has allowed us to bring hope. If they would like to know more about the project we worked on and the mis-sion agency we worked through, please check out

www.icdm.us or call me at the First United Methodist Church in Court House, 609-465-7087.

And if they would like to take part in one of our mis-sion trips, let me know. We are planning trips for the spring and fall of 2012.

With Pastor RudyLLightight

Speaking in theSpeaking in the

religion

As I sit down today to pen my weekly parable in the paper, I ask myself a cutting question that is sticking me to the core where it genuinely hurts. How vulnerable do I really allow myself to be? How naked with my soul am I willing to get? I have lived with this chain for almost 50 something years and the not sharing it- I mean really sharing it- hasn’t brought me any consolation, so is now the time to get it off my chest? Is today the day I need to confess my biggest obstacle to my ability to actually be able to totally live free, without the wear and tear of the care that I am consumed by literally 24/7? God, what do you want me to do?

I hate myself. There, I said it. I do not like me. I especially detest the pack-aging, the tent, the body that God has chosen for me to house my true identity within. This blemished abode of my soul has served more like a prison cell than a launching pad to me through the years. I can’t count the number of days I have lost because I have been betrayed by my own fl esh and blood which al-most seems to have a mind of its own in choosing to work against me when all I humbly desire is to fi nally break free and soar above it all and go for it!

But I constantly get stuck in the muck of the mess of who I am. I look in the mir-ror and I feel no different about my refl ection than I did in the seventh grade when I said the very same thing, “Rudy Sheptock, you are the ugliest piece of crap that I have ever seen!”

True Confessions!

And in gazing intently at that portrait staring back at me, I lose the drive to live and a paralyzing anxiety overwhelms me and I am rendered useless and end up looking for a bunker to hide in rather than a beacon to shine in.

Now please don’t preach me a sermon for I have preached them all myself. I know the truth! I know the verses! I have met blessed individuals who were born with so many more appar-ent disabilities than me and by their actions, I see them and all they do and who they have become and I am put to shame. I have been to counselors, retreats, dermatologists, and prayer meetings to beg God for a sweet and miraculous heal-ing and a victorious release, but I am still here.

I am 52 years old and I am still being daily beaten by what beat me up as an

adolescent all those years ago and I don’t know what to do. I hate it. I call it, “my thorn in the gut,” but I would much rather to not call it at all anymore. I want to change my number and not give it any forward-ing address. Simply put, I just want to get up each day and not have to worry that what I look like will prevent me from applying what I fervently long to be like! So many of you have never seen the best of me because I am locked up and I want to have God lovingly and graciously break these chains from my heart once and for all.

Why am I sharing this? I have no idea. I did feel God prompting my heart to share this part of me. Maybe to encourage some-one out there who feels like I do? So many people think that they know you, but what do they really know?

Who do they really know? Don’t we realize that they only see you in part and only you see more and only God sees the whole? It is funny, when I was younger I thought that once my teenage years were over that this would go the way of puberty, but I’m not getting any younger and my days are feeling very numbered and I am starting to wonder is this the best that it is going to be this side of heaven? Is it always going to be hard? Is there ever going to be a fi nish line to what has turned out to be a never-ending race? Am I going to live to see a graduation day, lesson learned, now let’s move on moment? Or is this part of my legacy and history that God in His crazy and clue-less to me ways has helped shape who I am?

Don’t know much about geometry, don’t know any trigonometry, I couldn’t use a slide rule to save my life, but I do know what I am longing for and I haven’t found that yet. What knucklehead invented mirrors anyway? Does he or she know the

tragedy that this product has brought me?

I have no answers or conclusions to this presen-tation. I am just opening up my personal closet to let it all air out! If the moths have gotten the assumption that I like them eating away at the garments of my sprit, they are most definitely mistaken! I know God loves me and it has been that fact, even when I don’t feel it, which has kept me from quitting.

I know I am loved by my wife and my family and my friends and I know I love them, probably more than they know, because there have been too many days this barrier has blocked me in from the privilege I would have had to show it. But I will not be satisfi ed until this dagger has been destroyed, and I long for it to happen before it might destroy me.

It has come close to caus-ing my soul to shipwreck, but the lighthouse of the Lord’s unchanging compas-sion has always led me back to shore. So here are the verses that are hung on the wall of inside Rudy. Here is God’s word that I cling to and claim and know that somewhere down the road- I will experience for myself! 2 Corinthians 4:16-18,

“16 Therefore we do

not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wast-ing away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fi x our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is tem-porary, but what is unseen is eternal.”

West Cape May Fire DepartmentAfter The Great Fire of 1878 in Cape

May, which swept over 30 acres of hotels and cottages, residents of West Cape May realized the urgent need to establish an orga-nized way to protect the town against devas-tating res. Although there is no documen-tation of when the residents came together to suppress res, there is circumstantial evi-dence that it was around 1885. The re bell in front of the present rehouse is dated 1903 and it has printed on it “West Cape May Fire Department”. Before 1903 it is surmised that the church bell at the chapel located at Broadway and Fifth Avenues would sound

and all the able bodied men would re-spond to pull the hose carriages to the re. These hose carriages would lay re hose from the re and hook up to re hydrants along Broadway to ght the res.

On August 8, 1921 at a Borough Hall meeting, the volunteer re company of West Cape May was established. On September 30, 1921 at a special business meeting it was moved by Lewis Hoffman that the company ask Borough Council to purchase a Ford combination hose, chemical, and ladder truck. March 6, 1922 the West Cape May Council met with Mayor Morton presiding. They passed an ordinance authorizing the purchase of a re engine. The contract was signed with the Faust Company who was the low bidder for $3,000.

Today, the West Cape May Volunteer Fire Company is fully volunteer and saves the taxpayers of West Cape May thousands of dollars each year. It is important to reassure the residents that when they have a re emergency, 24/7/365, the dedicated re ght

ers of West Cape May will respond in a pro-fessional way. Their training and experience coupled with their modern equipment will arrive in minutes.

The re company provides holiday fun for the community. Every year the Christ-mas Parade is run out of the rehouse and a re ghter portrays Santa on top of the re engine. The banquet hall can accommodate up to 200 people and can be rented for wed-ding receptions, birthday parties, and many other occasions.

The re company received special thanks from many of the evacuees from the Feb-ruary 2010 snowstorm. Many stayed on location for three days as their homes were without electricity or heat. The West Cape May Business Association presented the re company with a check to buy some emer-gency equipment.

Each year, hundreds of children across the county experience birthdays, Eas-ters mornings, Christmas eves, and countless other memories without their mothers and fathers. In-stead of being part of these timeless memories, they’re putting their lives on the line for others.

The fi refi ghters of Cape May County put their lives on the line 365 days a year, rain or shine, day or night. They battle the raging fl ames of a burning home, delicately cut vehicles to help free trapped victims at car accidents, ensure the safety of leaking gas pipes, rescue stranded boaters in distress from the county’s waterways, and much more. In most of the com-munities in our area, these men and women do so free of charge.

But in addition to re-sponding to thousands of emergency calls in the county each year, every October, the county’s fi re-fi ghters have a unique op-

portunity to lend a helping hand to the county’s teach-ers in educating youngsters about fi re safety and preven-tion with Fire Prevention Week.

Firefi ghters visit the vari-ous schools throughout the county, welcome students to their firehouses, and conduct demonstrations and lessons to educate youngsters and adults alike about the importance of fi re safety and prevention of fi re dangers.

Beginning in 1925 with a presidential proclamation by Pres. Calvin Coolidge, fi re departments and schools across the country have recognized Fire Prevention Week every October during the week which the 9th falls on. The week coincides with the anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, which destroyed over 17,500 homes and caused damages which would be equivalent to approximately $4 billion.

The need for fi re preven-tion became obvious to

President Coolidge after he noted that over 15,000 had been killed by fi re in 1925. Thus be-gan the constant at-tempts to lower the death and property loss tolls caused due to fi re each year.

Through various efforts, fi re prevention is coordinat-ed by the United States Fire Administration (USFA) and the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA). Sparky the Fire Dog is a product of the Fire Prevention campaign, which has a different theme each year, ranging from “Flameproof Your Future” (1949), to “Play it Safe.. Plan Your Escape” (1987), to “It’s Fire Prevention Week! Protect Your Family From Fire!” (2011).

But even through the various ef-forts of the Fire Prevention Week program, a large number of fi res and fi re-related deaths or injuries are re-ported each year.

In 2009, a structure fi re was reported in the United States every 89 seconds, resulting in $7.6 billion dol-lars in damage. An average of seven people are killed each day due to structure fires, and in 2009 fires resulted in 12,650 civilian injuries and 2,565 civilian deaths.

There are several easy steps you can do to prevent injury or death from a fi re, or fi re to begin in the fi rst place. Parents should be sure to teach their children

the importance of fi re safety, and practice such in your household. Keep matches and lighters out of the reach of children, don’t keep fl am-mable items stored in large quantities together, and teach all in your household the importance of safe cook-ing in the kitchen.

Be sure to keep your cooking appliances such as ovens, microwaves, and toasters clean and function-ing safely. A weekly cleaning of your stovetop and oven can clear off flammable food remnants and grease, lowering the chances of a cooking fi re considerably. Also, be careful to not overuse your electrical outlets, and practice safe operating skills when using electronics. Overloading your electrical outlets can cause electrical malfunc-tions and start fi res.

Especially during the winter months, heating related fi res cause a majority of home fi res and deaths. Simply cleaning out your fi replace and chimney, or

using safe heating sources when fi replace are not pres-ent, can do a great deal to ensure that you stay warm without risking your life.

In the event that there is a fi re, several easy steps can be taken to ensure you get out safely. First and fore-most, ensure that you have a working smoke detector in at least every sleeping quarter in your home, if not ever room. Two-thirds of all fi re-related deaths come in homes with no detectors or non-functioning ones. Simply installing a smoke detector and changing the batteries periodically could save your life.

Also, families with prac-ticed escape plans are far more likely to exit their homes safely in the event of a fi re. Three in every four U.S. homes say they have some sort of escape plan in place, but less than half of that amount actu-ally practices their plans. Practicing and maintaining an up-to-date escape plan could make a huge differ-

ence when every second counts.

The goal of fi re preven-tion week is to point an end to the fi re related deaths across the United States, and halt the fi res that lead to those deaths. Take time to talk to your family about the importance of fi re safety, and do your part to end the crisis.

Knoll, 19, of Eldora, can be contacted by email at [email protected]. He is a student at Rowan University.

HistoryOn March 11, 1904 Cape May Court House Fire

Company was incorporated. Thirty-four men realized the need for re protection in their town of wood-en houses with wood and coal red stoves. The re company was started with virtually no equipment or means of transportation.

In 1909 the rst Fire District in the township was formed by the township committee after receiv-ing petitions from the remen and citizens. At this point in history, Cape May Court House Fire District only covered Cape May Court House. They gained enough support to purchase their rst real piece of equipment, a hand-drawn, two-cylinder (40 gallons each) soda and acid re extinguisher mounted on a sulky-type vehicle.

Due to the loss of young men to the country’s AEF of World War I, interest in the company de-creased in the late teens and became almost nonex-istent in the early twenties. To gain more support for Cape May Court House Fire District a movement was mounted and on March 16, 1922 Volunteer Fire Com-pany No. 1 of Middle Township was incorporated. Thirty- ve new volunteer members added strength to the re company.

In 1925 more progress was made. The company became af liated with the New Jersey State Fire-

men’s Association. In 1926 Cape May Court House Fire Company moved into their rst permanent re house.

In 1929, the re company realized they had the manpower and equipment to serve a larger area. The township committee agreed to the expansion and the re company was renamed to Fire District No. 1 of

Middle Township serving all the area north of the center line of North Wildwood Blvd and Indian Trail Road on the south; the Delaware Bay on the West; the inland waterway to the east and the Middle-Dennis township boundary on the north. All areas are still served today with the exception of the Goshen area when Fire District No. 4 was created in 1985.

The department faced another challenge dur-ing WWII. There was a strain on manpower so older members who had retired to make spots available for the younger generation, came back into service. After the war, Cape May Court House Fire Company saw a boom in enrollment as new and old members wanted to support their community.

In 1970 the company had far outgrown the re house. During the annual election the voters ap-proved to oat a $110,000 bond issue to be paid off in 16 years. The construction added three bays to the existing structure.

Today, Cape May Court House Fire Company has 43 volunteer members and responded to 458 calls last year. The re company participates in a softball team and various other community organizations. They sponsor a Cub Scout pack and contribute to scholarships. On Oct. 3, 2011 they celebrated their second year in their new re house.

Chimney fi res can result in minor damage or major house fi res that cause loss of life. Whenever dealing with fi re, it’s essential to know safety protocol.

Most chimney fi res re-sult from carelessness on the part of homeowners and lack of chimney care. Simple maintenance and other tips can help keep residents safe. Chimney fi res are easy to prevent if homeowners follow these recommendations.

* Annual cleaning of the chimney will remove build-up of soot and creosote

from inside the chimney. Leave this job to a certifi ed chimney sweep. Failing to clean the chimney can result in these highly fl am-mable materials igniting and potentially spreading fi re to the rest of the house.

* Have the chimney inspected once a year for wear and tear and anything that needs to be replaced or mended.

* Build fi res with dry, seasoned wood. Dry wood produces less smoke and smoldering than wet wood. Less smoke means less build-up on chimney walls.

Look for wood that has been seasoning for at least 6 months to a year.

* Build small fi res that are easier to control and manage. A fi re that burns compactly and well will also produce less smoke and build-up.

* While most people tend to prefer the use of hardwoods because they burn longer, it really doesn’t matter which wood is used so long as it is seasoned wood. Seasoned wood burns hot and clean.

* A chimney liner can protect the chimney struc-ture from excessive heating

and exhaust fumes. It also enables the chimney to be cleaned more easily.

* Install a chimney cap that will prevent debris, including twigs and leaves that are highly fl ammable, from entering the structure. It can also prevent small animals from entering the chimney and causing a fi re.

* Never use combustible materials, such as paper or liquid accelerants to start a fi re. These materials can cause embers to fl oat up the chimney and ignite creosote. Or, they may cause the fi re to burn out

of control.* Leave the damper open

so that there is adequate air fl ow, which will limit the amount of creosote that forms.

What Is Creosote Anyway?

Creosote is the conden-sation of unburned, fl am-mable particulates present in the exhausting fl ue gas (smoke). The cause of creo-sote is the temperature of the fl ue in the chimney. If the surface temperature of the fl ue is cool, the carbon

particles in the smoke will condense and solidify, col-lecting on the fl ue. Because wet or “green” wood burns

How to Prevent a Chimney Fire

at a lower temperature or smolders, it can cause the fl ue to have a cooler surface temperature, thus leading to more creosote. Seasoned woods, or those that have been left to dry for several months or a year, will burn hotter and thus increase the temperature of the fl ue. A hotter fl ue means less creosote buildup.

Simple maintenance

and other tips can help keep residents safe.

The Rio Grande Fire Company has been serving the Rio Grande area since 1927. That’s right, for 84 years folks around this area have come to depend on the great service and timely response of this compa-ny. Chief Richard Sweeten claims “there are 40 volunteers that give of their time and talents to serve the community.” All of the re ghters that volunteer are proud to serve the

community which includes their family and friends. When you offer time and energy to your commu-nity, it creates a bond and affection for the area and its residents.

Chief Sweeten is very pleased

with the ladder placed in service last year. The Compressed Air Foam System has performed very well, allowing re ghters to move more quickly with quicker access to the re and better ability to contain it.

Another wonderful service that

the Rio Grande Fire Company of-

fers is the Junior Fire ghter Pro-gram. This program encourages 14-17 year olds to learn about the re service by attending drills,

helping out on calls, and attending classes given to the re ghters. Teenagers that attend are always happy for the experience and many go on to become re ghters.

The Rio Grande Fire Company

also offers Bingo every Friday night at 7:30pm and a delicious All-You-Can-Eat breakfast the third Sunday of the month. De nitely try out the breakfast and you’ll nd all of your

special morning delights along with your favorite trimmings.

The Rio Grande Fire Company is

always proud to serve the commu-nity and hopes to be of invaluable service for many years to come.

BelievingBelievingDRUG FOR AMD

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in older Americans. It destroys the light-sensitive tissue in the center of the retina, causing vision to fail gradually from the center outwards. The rapidly progressing “wet” type of AMD, in which new blood vessels form behind the retina and then leak, affects an estimated 1.6 million Americans over 50. The FDA has approved a drug designed to treat this “wet” form of AMD. Given by injection, Macugen (chemically known as pegaptanib sodium) works by inhibiting the protein VEGF, slowing the growth of these blood vessels. Research indicates that VEGF plays a role in abnormal blood vessel growth. While Macugen helps slow vision loss, it doesn’t restore sight already lost. This informative column has been brought to you by ATLANTIC EYE CENTER and EYE MAX LASIK CENTER in the interest of better eye health. We examine the eye with a variety of instruments to determine if you suffer with AMD. The decision for surgery is always based on the patient’s visual needs (in all types of situations) and the expectation that visual function will be improved. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call us today. We accept most insurance, including Medicare and Medicaid.

P.S. Other treatments for “wet” AMD include laser surgery and an injectable light-sensitive drug that is activated by shining a light in the eye to destroy the blood vessels.

VFW Holds 75th Anniversary Celebration

Sushi Bar for Connoisseur or Novice

The Wildwood VFW Post 3509 is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. VFW is an organiza-tion to help foster camara-derie among United States veterans of overseas con-fl icts.

The goal is to serve our veterans, the military, and our communities; to advo-cate on behalf of all veter-ans; to ensure that veter-ans are respected for their service, always receive their earned entitlements, and are recognized for the sacrifi ces they and their loved ones have made on behalf of this great coun-try.

The VFW also has

fought for improving VA medical centers services for women veterans. Be-sides helping fund the cre-ation of the Vietnam, Kore-an War, World War II and Women in Military Service memorials, the VFW in 2005 became the fi rst vet-erans’ organization to con-tribute to building the new Disabled Veterans for Life Memorial, which opened

in November, 2010.From providing $2.5

million in college scholar-ships and savings bonds to students every year, to en-couraging elevation of the Department of Veterans Affairs to the president’s cabinet, the VFW is there.

We are also forming a new charter of the Eagles, a fraternal organization. It was the Eagles who

pushed for the founding of Mother’s Day, who provid-ed the impetus for Social Security and, who pushed to end job discrimination based on age.

The Eagles have pro-vided support for medical centers across the country to build and provide re-search for medical condi-tions. We raise millions of dollars every year to combat heart disease and cancer, help handicapped kids, uplift the aged and make life a little brighter for everyone.

The Eagles are home-town builders. We support our police, fi refi ghters, and others who protect and

serve. We fund medical research in areas such as spinal cord injuries, kid-ney disease, diabetes and Alzheimer’s.

We help raise money for our communities. We are the Eagles, and we are, “people helping people.”

To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Wild-wood Post 3509 VFW and the forming of the new charter of Wildwood Fraternal Order of Eagles 4536, we are having the Greaseband come and play at the VFW Post 3509 at 3816 Pacifi c Ave. Wildwood, on Saturday October 22nd.

The doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the band starts at 7 p.m. Admission is free to Wildwood VFW and Eagle members. There will be a $10 donation for all non-members to support the building fund for the Post.

Nino's Family Restaurant Celebrates Grand Re-Opening of Original Location

The Cabinet Shop has been serving Cape May County since 1991.

Located at 204 N. Main St., Cape May Court House, the Cabinet Shop offers fi ne cabinetry for the home and offi ce to accom-modate all price points.

A large showroom fea-tures custom, semi-cus-tom, and stock cabinetry, which is accessorized with

granite, Corian, quartz, and laminate counter-tops.

Owner Joe Dicisso, who has 48 years’ experi-ence, is fi rmly established in the cabinet industry. Along with his wife and two sons, their profes-sionalism is based on the principles of honesty and customer service.

Creating the perfect liv-

Honesty and Service at Cabinet Shop

Nino’s Family Restau-rant is back by popular demand in its original lo-cation of 16 South Main Street, Cape May Court House, right across from the Sturdy Savings Bank, although, most of you al-ready know exactly where to fi nd them.

Nino’s has been known to serve the largest por-tions of delicious meals at the greatest prices around town.

This restaurant is fam-ily owned and operated by three generations and has become a family tradition from their family to yours. Once you dine at Nino’s it becomes a routine stop for both vacationers as well as locals.

Their regulars couldn’t be happier that the restau-rant has moved back to its “home” in CMCH; it be-

longs here!The Malusa family has

been in the restaurant business for over 40 years, beginning as a pizzeria in Vineland and then mak-ing themselves known as a restaurant business in the Glassboro and Cherry Hill areas.

In 1993 the family sold both of their restaurants and moved to the shore to retire, only they missed the joys of a being a res-taurant owner so much so that they opened a Nino’s in Cape May Court House. This is when their Jersey Shore popularity began.

They couldn’t have an-ticipated how well-liked they would be. Lines would form out the door full of people anxiously waiting to be served a hearty and scrumptious meal.

Their fan base only in-creased when they opened their second Cape May County location in North Wildwood right on the tri-angle between New Jersey and Walnut. Now they will have two locations open — Cape May Court House will be open year round, and their North Wildwood restaurant will be open for the spring and summer seasons.

Owner, Frances Malu-

sa urges you to try their sautéed veal or chicken or one of their specialty seafood entrées. Their sea-food dishes are made with their family secret recipe of wine and their own spices.

According to Frances, “Everyone can broil or bake their seafood, but only Nino’s can add their own fi nishing touches to make a perfect meal.”

This family has dedica-

tion and a passion for what they do, and that makes all the difference in the world

SunTastic Tan, 204 Hand Ave., Court House, was previously opened as Images Tanning Boutique in 1994 by Dawn Kelle-her. She sold in 2000 and Kirstie Kelleher re-opened in 2009.

Since opening in 2009, SunTastic Tan has made the Top 3 Tanning Salons of the Jersey Shore Hotlist for 2011.

So far this year Kirstie has brought in all new state of the art high pres-sure tanning equipment, Custom Airbrush Spray Tanning, and Red Light Therapy.

In this newly renovat-ed and remodeled salon, Kirstie does professional custom airbrush spray

tanning. She studied and was awarded her basic certifi cation in April, then became a master certifi ed spray tanning technician in Las Vegas in June.

Our spray tans are guar-anteed, “just off the beach color!”

Open Monday - Friday 9 a.m.-9 p.m. and Saturday/Sunday 9 a.m.-5 p.m.

All new customers re-ceive one week free tan-ning in our level 1 bed. We still have the cheapest prices in the county and accept all competitors’ coupons.

We also offer Red Light Therapy, which is charac-terized by infrared light, which is a unique type of light that has a stronger wavelength than other

types of light enabling it to penetrate deeper into the skin and provide many therapeutic benefi ts.

Red Light Therapy is

Red Light Therapy at SunTastic Tan

able to reduce the ap-pearance of fi ne lines and wrinkles, sun damage, and skin problems in-cluding acne and rosacea

because infrared light pro-motes collagen growth in the skin tissue.

Aside from its cos-metic and anti-aging ben-efi ts, Red Light Therapy can provide relief from chronic and acute pain in-cluding muscle pain, joint pain, arthritis, high blood pressure, tissue and nerve damage, and can increase injury healing time.

Originally developed by NASA for this purpose, Red Light Therapy is now used by professional ath-letes to promote healing with powerful results.

Because Red Light Therapy triggers the body’s own defenses, it ac-tually treats the source of pain and doesn’t just mask the symptoms. Red Light emits zero UV light and

will not tan you.We also offer a full line

of products for the Red Light Therapy Bed. Call 609-465-5700

We, the Survivors of Cancer organization are proud to be celebrating our 10th year offering help to residents of Cape May County going through cancer treatments

Our organization was founded in the spring of 2002. The main motiva-tor was Jimmy Kane.

Many people in this area would know him as the owner of the Red Gar-ter Bar, Spruce and New Jersey aves., North Wild-wood.

Kane enlisted the help of many volunteers, some of whom were cancer survivors, and some who had lost a loved one or family member to cancer. His idea was to raise funds through various events to help those people in the county who had been di-agnosed with cancer.

Our fi rst four fundrais-ers were held at Westy’s in North Wildwood. We

have since made it an an-nual event on the second Saturday in August.

This year our 10th an-nual was held at Light-house Pointe Restaurant on August 13 — our sixth year at the Pointe.

Like all the others, this year was a great success due to the efforts of the wonderful support from local businesses and resi-dents. We look forward to seeing you in 2012.

In addition to our main event, we also have a Wel-

Avalon - A recent Spout Off from Cape May states: “It’s time for the rich to pay their fair share of taxes.” Does the writer know 10 percent of taxpayers, the rich, pay over 70 percent of the taxes in this country? Does the writer know (Buffet notwithstanding) the rich have a higher effective tax rate than than the rest of us? Does the writer know almost half our potential taxpayers pay no tax? Now tell me again who it is that’s not paying their fair share.

***Wildwood – N.J. has become the biggest numbered state where people are trying to exit by selling and moving out of NJ. It is true, NJ has become the tax state and the most in debt. Everything from your property tax to water bills, gas bills and electric are in the high-est bracket.

***Rehobeth Beach, Del. - My wife and I grew up coming to Wildwood in the 50s and 60s with our parents and stayed at the Elberon Hotel on Poplar Avenue. We went to Wildwood recently and found out that the hotel is gone and Mr. and Mrs. Reimert passed away. They were wonderful people, always had fun staying with them. Wildwood was a great family resort back then; not anymore. Section 8, drugs and violence have taken over.

***Middle Township - In response to the question about the Middle Township Junior Panthers football colors: Middle Township Recre-ation colors are blue and white. The football program did not change their colors; their uniforms are grey, orange and black. The colors were changed to save the parents from purchasing two uniform jer-seys. A lot has changed since 1975.

***Villas - To the person in the truck who picked up my neighbor’s galvanized metal trash can from her front lawn. I have the make of your truck and your license number. Please return to my neighbor on St. John’s Avenue. You’re picking up metal. You’re not supposed to come on someone’s property. It was against her house when you took it. She had it drying out. Please return it, no questions asked.

***Whitesboro - Attention, Township Committee: During the time of Hurricane Irene, I was evacuating, but noticed as we were going around to pick up evacuees there were some houses that don’t even have numbers on them. They should have numbers on the houses. No numbers on the house, mailbox, etc. Maybe Township Commit-tee will consider an ordinance to require people to put numbers on their house so when someone is looking for them (ambulance, etc.) the person will know where to look. If they don’t want their number on the house, impose a fi ne. It’s not fair for them to have to come and look for you.(ED. NOTE: A $10 fi ne is possible for violators of Middle Township’s ordinance, adopted May 1985: § 96-3. Display of numbers required; height. Each property owner shall, within 180 days from the mailing date of notifi cation of this chapter... cause to be displayed upon the primary building on each tract or parcel of ground the number as-signed to said building pursuant to the terms of the above-referenced plan. Said numbers shall be at least three inches in height.”

***Avalon - I went to the Avalon Garden Club house tour over the week-end, and it was wonderful. They had a house with a putting green and an oceanfront house, which were so nice. My favorite house was on 13th Street. They had a piano going. It was great. Good job.

***Cape May - I compliment Robert Post for his letter Sept. 28. He’s defi ned what’s happened to our economy perfectly.

***North Cape May - Can anyone tell me how much it cost the taxpay-ers for Mrs. Obama, Obama and Joe Biden to go up to New York to be on The View? They announced it yesterday; that’s Biden’s third visit up there. Can you imagine what we’re paying for them to go travel-ing around to think they’re super stars? No wonder the country’s in such shape that it is. Why don’t they stay in Washington and do the job we put them in there for?

***Court House - I’m responding to the editor letter of Sept. 28 regard-ing crickets in the house. The answer is moth balls. I used to be inundated as well until someone told me about this remedy. I have been cricket-free for over 15 years. Throw the moth balls in and around the garage, under the house or any other place where they congregate. It does work.

***Court House - To the Spouter complaining about Middle Township Recreation Department “changing” the colors. There is more than one Rec Department team. How else are they supposed to know which team is which if they all wear orange and black?. Duh.

***Wildwood Crest - I was disappointed that the Phillies didn’t add Ivars Bilkens or Salvatore Paschqualli to their post season roster to add depth, i.e. players on their bench

***Wildwood Crest - I like the eight-track, it takes me way back. I like that.

***Wildwood - What do postal managers do between 9:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. while their carriers are out delivering mail? Sounds like a lot of these jobs should be part time - could work them a couple hours in the morning when the mail arrives, and bring them back late in the afternoon for a couple hours to oversee the mail going out at the end of the day. If their benefi ts were reduced accordingly, and you did this on a nationwide scale, this would save an enormous amount of money. I mean, just what are these managers making, money wise, between salary and benefi ts?

***Avalon - Skunks crossing Dune Drive at 29th Street at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday night. Really?

***Wildwood - Who cleans up the beach after the monster trucks dump oil and fl uids on the sand? This seems to be hazard to the environ-ment, to have shows like this on a beach only a few feet from the water.

***Wildwood - With the latest news on the Arctic ice cap disappearing and the polar ice cap nearly half the size, look out; the ocean will rise and Wildwood island, along with other barrier islands, will look like Venice. It is true, pictures show the ice caps disappearing. That is

one reason in a full or new moon tide the water is getting deeper; just look at where it use to go and where it goes today. Look at the storms that bring the ocean up to the Boardwalk. Half of the Cape May County area will be covered with water sooner than you think.

***Cape May - If Chris Christie decides to run for president, he should be forced to resign as governor.

***Villas - How much tax is paid by each Congress member? Obama was careful to pick an amount that essentially excludes members of Congress, $250,000 per year is just above the amount paid to the speakers of both the House and the Senate. Clever, huh?. Congress lives high on the hog while we the people continue to live with stag-nant wages, fewer jobs, higher debts from student loans and a real es-tate market that is unrealistic. Why should a rookie Congressman be paid 100 times the annual earnings of the person paying their salary?

***Cape May - The real battle erupting across America is the battle be-tween the makers and the takers. Entrepreneurs and other working Americans, the makers, are growing tired of government’s rapacious hand in their fi nancial pocket and they are becoming more aggressive and more outspoken. The takers can become makers with hard work and determination. You are not entitled to my hard earned money. The so-called jobs bill is a joke. Obama’s latest economic fi x will kill the very jobs it’s meant to create. Read it.

***North Cape May - Do you people realize when you use bleach, drain clearner, chemicals, etc., etc., etc., in which most don’t even work, you are polluting our waters? Use a little more elbow grease instead. Seafood, etc., etc., etc., have enough problems with being over-fi shed. Grow up and smell the roses.

***Cape May - Why does Cape May need another park on Lafayette Street? They already have a hard time maintaining the existing parks. For example, Harbor View Park and Kiwanis Park are very poorly maintained. We already have two miles of park (a.k.a. the beach) and another 78 acres of park land coming to East Cape May. A Lafayette Street Park is a waste of taxpayers’ money.

***Villas - Now that hurricane season is coming to an end, please take the tape off your windows before Christmas. Thank you.

***Woodbine - Congrats to the mayor on the partnership with Stockton College and the Sam Azeez Museum, adding a higher education op-portunity for all right here in Woodbine. What an accomplishment to add to the hundreds of things you’ve done to keep Woodbine moving forward. I hope our citizens realize what a wonderful achievement this is for the town. Mayor Bill, thanks for all your hard work.

***Stone Harbor - More on the Stone Harbor schoolyard/community garden: An older, root bound potted herb, after spending its life in-doors, can have its roots annoyed, teased, irritated and even clipped. After being annoyed, it will connect with the soil, spread its roots and become a splendid part of the community garden. A seed from good stock, sown outdoors, gently nourished and challenged, will become a superb part of the community garden. More later.

***Avalon - Congrats to the folks who sponsored last weekend’s Okto-berfest. Great time was had by all who attended. Another innovative idea that brings the Avalon community closer together. Expect next year’s event to be even better. Looking forward to it.

***Avalon - On the one hand, Republicans claim that government can-not create jobs, never has created jobs. Irrespective of the fact that the claim is false, think about what they say out of the other side of their mouths: that the Obama administration is a failure because it has not created jobs. Anyone notice the ultimate in hypocrisy in those two positions of the Republican Party?

***Avalon - To the Stone Harbor Tea Party member: If your dream of abolishing Social Security should ever become a reality, will I be “en-titled” to a refund of my 39 years of contributions? Also, can I count on you to help support my elderly parents when they are left with no source of income after working and contributing all their lives? I guess they’re not “entitled” to live above the poverty level. Get real.

***Stone Harbor - Get the facts straight. G.W. Bush was the most vaca-tioned president, spending a full third of his tenure on vacation. Dur-ing the fi rst year in offi ce, G.W. took 69 vacation days; Obama only took 26. That is less than all three previous Republican presidents, but more than the last two Democrats. Check your facts before you Spout Off.

***North Wildwood - To the people who think the Irish Festival lowers real estate taxes in the city: Seems you’ve kissed the blarney stone a few times too many. The only people who benefi t from the fl owing beer are the ones who sell it.

***Wildwood - To the writer who wants to call the two mallard ducks on 26th Street Bonnie and Clyde. Please don’t. They are called Mo and Mae by all the seniors in this area. Don’t confuse them. And they like a little peanut butter on that bread.

***Villas - Another night without sleeping because of my rude next door neighbors on Cedardale Avenue keeping their dogs out all night long barking. Please keep your dogs inside, people have to work in the morning and need their sleep. I am so over this; if it continues, I will report it.

***Cape May - As I understand it, the southern most point of NJ is the end of the jetty at Grant Street . Some retired guy fi gured it out about 10 years ago with a handheld GPS. Like most retired people, he had too much time on his hands.

***Cape May - Charge the motels a Convention Hall tax of 50 dollars per room. That’s fair. They directly benefi t from the convention center. The two percent tourist tax rate they collect for the city is a joke. They don’t turn it in 100 percent. Most motels charge you and are paid in cash. 200 to 300 dollars for a 12 by 22 foot room and a

pool with no lifeguard. They keep that tax money. Greed wins every time.

***Villas - Going north on Bayshore Road, the No Name Street is the street just before Bates Avenue on the left. That corner lot has been torn up, dug up and messed up for months and months. When is this mess going to be cleaned up? Why can’t the people that are suppose to watch over these messes doing their job?

***Dennisville - Monster trucks are on the beach in Wildwood. Fea-tured events include stunt competitions, tough truck competitions, and quad wars. When are these “monster activities” coming to our residential communities in Dennis Township? We’ve already been do-ing the “quad wars” and “stunt” events on ATVs here for years in our front yards, and we can easily incorporate monster trucks, too. Public safety, nuisance problems, property values? Who cares. People with a problem can just move to other towns. I can’t wait for the real fun to begin. Yahoo.

***Wildwood Crest - Hats off to Joey M. and his Italian friends, a won-derful weekend of great food, great music and many people enjoying the Old Italian Fest at Fox Park. So good to see so many local folks out having a good time despite the weather. Keep up the great work, and kudos to the sons of Italy. The Italian hat man and dancing machine had a great time, to say the least. Thanks to the Wonderful Duprees for making the evening a memorable time.

***Wildwood - Wildwood is not better off today than it was a year ago; I feel the crime rate going up, along with drug dealing up, and my homeowner’s insurance sky rocketing and possibly a tax hike in 2012. My home mortgage is under water, just like the island will be in the future.

***Cape May - Wildwood is considering allowing horseback riding on their beaches. Will people have to pick up after their horses? If so, riders will need big bags, shovels and rear view mirrors so they can see when the horse goes. Horses aren’t like dogs, they don’t need to stop and squat - they can go on the move.

***Stone Harbor - Now that our governor has backed out of the (presi-dential) race, let’s all the Tea Party people stand up once and for all and demand that Congress cancel Social Security, Medicare and espe-cially Medicaid. Then we can work on canceling unemployment. Get off your back and get a job, the Tea Party is tired of carrying you. A proud Tea Party member of South Jersey.

***Middle Township - The Spouter from Stone Harbor who wants to get rid of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, I say you’re partially right. Working citizens paid into Social Security and Medicare and should receive it when they retire. But we need to get rid of Welfare/Medicaid, this way the lazy and the frauds have to get a job. Remem-ber: They are now watching you, and I hope you all get caught.

***Cape May - I also live on that 40 mph road with no shoulders, and was constantly nervous passing the canned landscaping trucks parked along the fronts of the rich people’s properties. What I know is that the employers of these licensed or non-licensed dog and pony shows do not want the individuals parking in their driveways in case they back up and leave tire tracks. I also have noted that the majority of the laborers are of Hispanic origin and are not told of what danger they are putting themselves and others in by parking illegally.

***Avalon - To the Stone Harbor Tea Party member who called Social Security an entitlement; I collect Social Security, which I and my

employers have paid into all my working life. If you want to know why Social Security is broken, just use your computer and Google how much the government has borrowed from Social Security and not paid back.

***North Wildwood - When Gov. Christie leaves New Jersey for ex-tended periods of time on personal and political business, does he still get paid his salary as governor?

***Avalon - Well, Mr. Mayor, you sure do a wonderful job and get lots of things for the town. We don’t miss out on very much. But it is time that you put your foot down on some of your cronies. A couple of examples: an illegally parked motor home and the Construction Co. being run out of a home . The laws and rules are very strict for the rest of us.. It’s about time we all play with the same strict rules .

***Wildwood - William Murphy writes that Republican candidates are dumb. Brilliant debating skills. You said Texas’ education ranks at the bottom as an attack on Gov. Rick Perry. But just because the numeral one is the lowest ordinal number doesn’t mean when it’s your ranking, you’re at the bottom. You’ve been schooled again by a Herald reader; that’s what happens when you come to a battle of wits unarmed.

***Court House - Van Drew has got to go 2011! He has raised our taxes many times and then has the nerve to lie to the press, saying he is fi scally conservative. As Herman Cain recently said: We are not stupid!.

***North Wildwood - I think the whole North Wildwood Police Depart-ment should get some training. Are all laws suspended for Fireman and Irish Weekends. How can they write up some people, but just drive by other groups and not say a word? It’s a disgrace and not right.

***Sea Isle City - Just happened a short time ago. Family riding bikes on Landis Avenue, southbound south of CVS. The boy’s front wheel went into a hole in the highway and the boy tumbled and was bleed-ing. The father was taking pictures and getting names of people who said they saw it. I asked if they wanted medical help, and they said no, they would take him their doctor. I don’t know who is respon-sible for the street, but something better get done about the problem.

***Stone Harbor - Congratulations to Karin Lane and Joselyn Rich on their presentation to Borough Council. 266 Stone Harbor residents signed a petition against the Library on the beach. That is almost 50 percent of the voters. Council, are you listening?

***Stone Harbor - Interesting, Peter Tribulski wants 3,000 Stone Harbor property owners, representing 6,000 people, to vote on whether we should have a library in Stone Harbor. Sorry, Peter, mail is delivered to less than 300 houses in Stone Harbor in the winter, and my guess is that 10 percent of the residents who are here, 30 of them drive two miles to the Avalon Library, one of the greatest in New Jersey.

***Wildwood Crest - We the people of Cape May County are owed an explanation as to why, under the Democratic process, there is not an opposing Democratic candidate running against lone Will Morey. Give us an explanation, Sen. Van Drew and candidate Will Morey.

***Wildwood - I have lived at the Lion’s Center for quite some time. I fi nd it very distasteful what they did to the kind gentleman who helped out at every function. Number one, if there’s going to be problems when we have occasions, people from the outside shouldn’t come. It should just be amongst the parties that live in the Lion’s Center. That’s when trouble comes. The manager allows people to

come in from the outside to play cards. There’s two different rooms playing cards. I think the gentleman was done wrong and I’m so sorry. He’d do anything for anyone. The selfi sh people can’t see that.

***Lower Township - Taxi service or school transportation? While walking my dog, I have noticed the grade school buses stopping every few houses. These kids look to be 5th or 6th grade. Bus stops at house A, picks up one kid, bus passes houses B and C, stops at house D, picks up two kids. This is a local develop-ment, not a highway. Properties perhaps 80-100 feet wide. No wonder our taxes go up. The more stops they make, the more chance of being involved in a MVA. Come on, let the kids walk a few feet. Cut down on waste.

***Cape May - New Jersey gives the schools an additional $6,000 per student each year for free lunches. At more than $30, a day they could eat at the Grand and have a split of Champagne with lunch.

***

Wildwood - Just how many bosses does Wildwood need in the Public Works? Public Works is way overstaffed, and has too many top-paid supervisors .

***Wildwood - Wildwood needs to stop hosting the biker debacle known as Roar to the Shore, since we seem incapable of taking a fi rm stand on noise violations, public drinking and similar trashy behavior. Note to bikers: There are people who actually live here, believe it or not! And they are trying to go about their daily lives. They have to get up to go to work in the morning, have sleeping babies, sick folks, or maybe they’re just trying to watch a Phillies game without getting their eardrums blown out.

***Dennisville - Van Drew said he wants the Turnpike Authority to demolish the closed Beesleys Point Bridge when it demolishes the south bridge over the Great Egg Harbor Bay. Van Drew got us into this mess, and now he wants someone else to bail him out. Kind of sounds like what he did when he spent our tax money in Trenton and then turned his back on the police, fi re fi ghters and public workers.

***Wildwood - It was a mistake to put a medium strip on Rio Grande Avenue. Poor planning, but it looks nicer; but the lanes are still nar-row, and what about all the eyesores coming into Wildwood, like all the litter on the lots and the rundown buildings from Susquehana to Park and from Park to Pacifi c? All the rental buildings look bad.

***Wildwood - Why is it that Wildwood needs an assistant superinten-dent of Public Works? Don’t we already have a superintendent and three supervisors for a small crew? That is where cuts are needed for a small town Public Works Department. We should have one super-intendent and one working supervisor and one working foreman. These positions should be put in place by the mayor, who is in charge; it only makes sense.

No matter which half of the Twin Capes you’re on, the Cape May-Lewes Ferry is the fun, easy way to explore the other side. From the Cape May Lighthouse in South Jersey, to craft breweries in Delaware, if you aren’t visiting both Capes, you’re missing half the fun.

(From Page A47)***

Avalon - I agree with the Avalon Spouter. The Avalon/Stone Harbor school merger is a disgrace. We never received bus schedules, and now I know why. They arrive when they feel like it. There has been on average a 15-20 minute lapse in the time to be picked up in the morning and dropped off after school. We parents thought all of this would have been organized, given they had the entire summer to work on a schedule. No one responds when you ask for a schedule. Close Stone Harbor and send all of the kids to Avalon. It’s much bet-ter in many ways.

***Rio Grande - When is the Middle Township Code Enforcement going to do anything on the properties on Walton and Williams Drive in the Rio Grande section of Middle Township?

***Dennis Township - Who would like more big trucks rumbling and speeding through their neighborhood? If you live in South Seaville, you better speak up quickly, as there is a proposal to allow the Pierson company to operate a concrete plant on Woodbine - Ocean View Road. They already use our back roads on a consistent basis, and now there is a talk about an access road to the site from Corson Tavern. Is anyone looking out for the interests of the residents?

***North Wildwood - I also witnessed the accident on Sep-tember 15 at Central and 17th Avenues, and I know that the police offi cer did not have any lights on (headlight or overhead light). I wanted to talk to one of the people investigating, how-ever, because I was outside a bar, they would not listen to me.

***Cold Spring - How come the Police Department has to enforce the back yard burner ordinance? If the cops are going to enforce ordinances, then can’t we eliminate the Code Enforcement Department and save tax dollars?

***Wildwood Crest - When was the last time a sitting lifeguard was promoted to Sergeant, Lieu-tenant, or Captain on the Wild-wood Crest Beach Patrol?

***Sea Isle City - The street light that lights the south entrance to the Townsends Inlet Bridge has been out for months. The toll takers have reported the light out with no action taken. The county says it’s the electric company’s problem. I called and reported the problem to the electric company. After fi nally convincing the person that the TI Bridge wasn’t in Cold Springs, he said the problem would be fi xed in three to fi ve working days. That was two weeks ago. The condition is dangerous. Fix the problem, not the blame, before someone gets killed.

***Wildwood - There is a rapid decline in home values in Wild-wood, and it is causing the decline in neighboring areas as well. Wildwood’s misguided government, the future unstable tax rate and rumor of a major tax hike in Wildwood is resulting in an average of three to fi ve per-

cent per month less.***

Wildwood Crest - Who else read the Press story about how the Crest tax rate is the county’s highest, even Wildwood’s rate is down. No wonder. It’s not cops or public workers driving the increase. It’s our huge borough debt, which they’re still expanding, and, of course, that school. Snowbirds, please call 465-1050 today for your mail ballot before you leave. And be sure to send it in next April, because you know that school will be asking for more as usual.

***Wildwood - Mayor, what is the plan for 2012? What’s your plan for revitalizing Pacifi c Avenue? Begin by sending a strong message to our visitors. Come to Wildwood, behave like a responsible human being and have fun! If you cannot behave responsibly, don’t come to Wildwood. Stop spending on useless studies; instead, make the town attractive to family oriented businesses!

***Wildwood - Things will never change on this island and in this area unless all four towns merge into one. Or merge Middle Township and Lower Township, North Wildwood and West Wildwood, and Wild-wood should go to Middle Township, and the Crest to Lower; then we could save millions of dollars. One mayor, one Police Department and one Fire Department equals one chief in each.

***South Dennis - The Crippen and O’Connor campaign signs are now highly visible throughout South Dennis. How ironic, as they both have been invisible for two years as homeowners and taxpayers have repeatedly addressed Township Committee to legislate protective ordinances regarding compromised public safety, nuisance issues, and declining property values associated with rampant residential ATV use here. We need elected offi cials whose agenda is the best interest of Dennis Township.

***Sea Isle City - What ever happened with the foundation vent fi asco? How many people were fi ned, how many went to jail, did the city qualify for whatever they were trying to do?

***North Wildwood - Let’s see. The mayor and council approved to spend $34K on 18 inches of concrete for a one block stretch of the JFK jetty, which will not keep the sand or water out of the street during windy storms. They also approved spending $18K last year on “farm fencing” between the street and the wooden bike path so that people know how to get to the beach. Considering people are losing jobs and homes are being foreclosed, the money could have been better spent by giving 1,040 property taxpayers a $50 reduction on their tax bill. The foolish spending continues without any regard to the property taxpayer.

***Wildwood - I hope Wildwood residents and property owners read Art Hall’s 28 September “From the Publisher” analysis. Apathy could equally be applied to Wildwood residents. If not today, without any doubt next year, the tax cuts instituted by the DeMarzo Administra-tion will be replaced by Troiano tax increases.

***Avalon - Well, Mr. Mayor, you sure do a wonderful job and get lots of things for the town. We don’t miss out on very much. But it is time that you put your foot down on some of your cronies. A couple of examples: an illegally parked motor home and the Construction Co. being run out of a home . The laws and rules are very strict for the rest of us.. It’s about time we all play with the same strict rules .

***Wildwood - William Murphy writes that Republican candidates are dumb. Brilliant debating skills. You said Texas’ education ranks at the bottom as an attack on Gov. Rick Perry. But just because the numeral one is the lowest ordinal number doesn’t mean when it’s your ranking, you’re at the bottom. You’ve been schooled again by a Herald reader; that’s what happens when you come to a battle of wits unarmed.

***Court House - Van Drew has got to go 2011! He has raised our taxes many times and then has the nerve to lie to the press, saying he is fi scally conservative. As Herman Cain recently said: We are not stupid!.

***North Wildwood - I think the whole North Wildwood Police Depart-ment should get some training. Are all laws suspended for Fireman and Irish Weekends. How can they write up some people, but just drive by other groups and not say a word? It’s a disgrace and not right.

***Sea Isle City - Just happened a short time ago. Family riding bikes on Landis Avenue, southbound south of CVS. The boy’s front wheel went into a hole in the highway and the boy tumbled and was bleed-ing. The father was taking pictures and getting names of people who said they saw it. I asked if they wanted medical help, and they said no, they would take him their doctor. I don’t know who is respon-sible for the street, but something better get done about the problem.

***Stone Harbor - Congratulations to Karin Lane and Joselyn Rich on their presentation to Borough Council. 266 Stone Harbor residents signed a petition against the Library on the beach. That is almost 50 percent of the voters. Council, are you listening?

***Stone Harbor - Interesting, Peter Tribulski wants 3,000 Stone Harbor property owners, representing 6,000 people, to vote on whether we should have a library in Stone Harbor. Sorry, Peter, mail is delivered to less than 300 houses in Stone Harbor in the winter, and my guess is that 10 percent of the residents who are here, 30 of them drive two miles to the Avalon Library, one of the greatest in New Jersey.

***Wildwood Crest - We the people of Cape May County are owed an explanation as to why, under the Democratic process, there is not an opposing Democratic candidate running against lone Will Morey. Give us an explanation, Sen. Van Drew and candidate Will Morey.

***Wildwood - I have lived at the Lion’s Center for quite some time. I fi nd it very distasteful what they did to the kind gentleman who helped out at every function. Number one, if there’s going to be problems when we have occasions, people from the outside shouldn’t come. It should just be amongst the parties that live in the Lion’s Center. That’s when trouble comes. The manager allows people to come in from the outside to play cards. There’s two different rooms playing cards. I think the gentleman was done wrong and I’m so sorry. He’d do anything for anyone. The selfi sh people can’t see that.

***Lower Township - Taxi service or school transportation? While walking my dog, I have noticed the grade school buses stopping every few houses. These kids look to be 5th or 6th grade. Bus stops at house A, picks up one kid, bus passes houses B and C, stops at house D, picks up two kids. This is a local development, not a highway. Properties perhaps 80-100 feet wide. No wonder our taxes go up. The more stops they make, the more chance of being involved in a MVA. Come on, let the kids walk a few feet. Cut down on waste.

***Cape May - New Jersey gives the schools an additional $6,000 per student each year for free lunches. At more than $30, a day they could eat at the Grand and have a split of Champagne with lunch.

***Wildwood - Just how many bosses does Wildwood need in the Public Works? Public Works is way overstaffed, and has too many top-paid supervisors .

***Wildwood - Wildwood needs to stop hosting the biker debacle known as Roar to the Shore, since we seem incapable of taking a fi rm

stand on noise violations, public drinking and similar trashy behavior. Note to bikers: There are people who actually live here, believe it or not! And they are trying to go about their daily lives. They have to get up to go to work in the morning, have sleeping babies, sick folks, or maybe they’re just trying to watch a Phillies game without getting their eardrums blown out.

***Dennisville - Van Drew said he wants the Turnpike Authority to demolish the closed Beesleys Point Bridge when it demolishes the south bridge over the Great Egg Harbor Bay. Van Drew got us into this mess, and now he wants someone else to bail him out.

CAPE CHRISTIAN Ronald McDonald visited Cape Christian Academy,

September 27 to deliver an important message to our PK through fourth graders.

He prefaced the show by reminding students that visits to McDonalds for meals should be occasional, not everyday.

Through an upbeat, interactive and whimsical delivery, Ronald encouraged students to get outside and be active, not stay home and watch TV and play video games all day. He recommended a minimum of 1 hour of moderate activity daily.

Ronald illustrated this message by riding a unicycle, juggling and using visual aids to demonstrate various ways to be active. Student volunteers assisted him by pantomiming favorite physical activities.

2011 was celebrated on Cold Spring Dock Sun., Oct. 9. Crowds attended stopping at each booth to learn a facet of New Jersey's marine environment.

Highlight of the annual event, hosted by N.J. Sea Grant Consortium was recognition of winning photographers from throughout the Garden State whose work is printed in Shore Shots 2012, a calendar featuring the photographers' works as chosen by popular vote after being screened by a panel of three judges,including this writer.

Those winning works were previously published in the Herald.

Teaching youngsters about the marine environment was an important part of the day.

TRENTON — The Na-tional Federation of Inde-pendent Business (NFIB) today released its annual Voting Record for the 120 members of the state Gen-eral Assembly and Senate.

“There were a lot of very important votes cast in the past four years and it’s important for small busi-ness owners and their em-ployees to know how their representatives scored,” said State Director Laurie Ehlbeck.

N. J. Lawmakers GradedOn Small Business Issues

On the 11 issues iden-tified as most important by small business own-ers across the state, 31 members of the Assembly earned perfect scores. In the Senate, where mem-bers voted on 18 key bills over the course of four years, eight lawmakers dis-tinguished themselves by voting with small business 100 percent of the time.

Obviously when you choose white kitchen cabinets, you know that your cabinets will be white. But did you know that there are variations of white that you can choose from, including vanilla and off-white? For more information, please call QUALITY HOME CENTER. We feature cabinets made by Aristokraft, MidContinent, Legacy, Decora and more. Our cabinets come in many styles, colors and fi nishes from which to choose. We welcome you to stop by our showroom weekdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays 9a.m. to 4 p.m. We accept MasterCard, Visa and Discover.

HINT: Kitchens with white cabinetry can be warmed with wood fl oors.

While white kitchen cabinetry has ever-lasting appeal, it is important to add some personal touches to white high-gloss cabin-etry that will keep it from looking too clini-cal. For those blessed with enough space, outfi tting the kitchen entirely with base cabi-nets allows for the placement of windows and decorative features where wall cabinets would otherwise be. In addition, the island in an all-white kitchen can be designed with a color or interesting texture that attracts at-tention to this centrally located focal point. It helps as well to complement soft ambient lighting with focused task lighting over work surfaces. White cabinets can be offset with interesting backsplash materials, colors, and designs that are accentuated with under-cab-inet lights and even table lamps.

Are you looking for a new and exciting look for your kitchen? If so, you may be inter-ested in upgrading to white kitchen cabinets.

DOING THE WHITE THING

One of the wonders of the mouth is how the gums wrap tightly around the teeth much like a turtleneck collar hugs the neck. At the edge of the gumline, the gum tissue folds back underneath itself, creating a snug, 1- to 3-millimeter furrow around each tooth (the “gingival sulcus”). To measure the health of the gums, the hygienist or dentist gauges the depth of the gingival sulcus at several points around each tooth by inserting a thin measuring rod (periodontal probe). A depth of over 3 millimeters may indicate that a pocket is forming between the tooth and gum, which is evidence of gum disease. Treatment prevents mild gum disease (gingivitis) from progressing to severe gum disease (periodontitis). You don’t have to lose teeth to periodontal disease. Brush, clean between your teeth, eat a balanced diet, and schedule regular dental visits for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

COLLAR IDAlways feel free to discuss your dental concerns with SUNSHINE DENTAL.We’re located at 109 West Atlantic Ave., Cape May Court House, where we practice compassionate dentistry. You can trust the health of your teeth to our extensive training and experience. Please call 609-465.5415 to schedule an appointment. We accept most insurances, including Delta Dental. We also have fi nancing available through Care Credit.

P.S. Plaque that is allowed to build up in the gingival pocket may lead to possible infection and damage that reaches even further down the tooth, eventually compromising the tissues that hold it in place.

CAPE MAY — Don Bal-do, founder of Ghost-One, a paranormal investigative team, has been named the October 2011 Volunteer of the Month for the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts & Humanities.

MAC’s Manager of Tour Operations, Rosemary Rombado, nominated Baldo to recognize his volun-teer work with MAC tour guides at the Emlen Phys-ick Estate, 1048 Washing-ton St. Baldo’s Philadelphia research fi rm has been in operation since 1985. He has volunteered for MAC by demonstrating for tour guides how his team does a paranormal investiga-tion. Since December, 2009, Baldo and his team have conducted paranormal investigations for MAC at two of Cape May’s historic landmarks, the Cape May Lighthouse and the Emlen Physick Estate. Baldo’s team uses audio and visual equipment and attempts to document paranormal ac-tivity, including EVPs (elec-tric voice phenomenon) and full-body apparitions.

Rombado said her fi rst experience hearing an EVP came from a Ghost-One

investigation at the Physick Estate. “I was thrilled to death. I was at home listen-ing to a recording and kept playing it over and over. I heard ‘for the family’ after I asked whether anyone was cooking, when we were in the kitchen. It was an an-swer to the question.”

Baldo has conducted several Full Moon investi-gations in 2011 at the Phys-ick Estate with interesting results and more are being planned.

COURT HOUSE — Cape May County Chamber of Commerce President Vicki Clark attended an Employer Forum hosted by CIEE (Council on International Educational Exchange) in Washington D.C. Sept. 28-30. The focus of this year’s Forum was changes to the J-1 Visa program for inter-national college students to work in the United States during their summer break through participation in this cultural exchange pro-gram.

The guest speaker for the forum was Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Rick Ruth who provided information regarding new regulations that will apply to many students seeking a J-1 Visa in 2012. Following a pilot program this past year, the Department of State will now require that students must have a job se-cured before their Visa ap-plication will be processed.

Chamber PresidentAttends Employer Forum

“This new regulation could mean a shortage of available seasonal employees in vaca-tion destinations like Cape May County,” according to Clark. “Many of our mem-ber businesses depend on these students to staff their businesses, especially in the spring and fall months when our local students are in school.”

The second day of the conference included visits with members of Congress to stress the importance of the J-1 Visa program to companies who depend on international student employees to keep their businesses open. The Cape May County Chamber of Commerce, in conjunction with CIEE will host an in-formational session for local businesses later this fall.

The mission of the Cape May County Chamber of Commerce is to be the voice of the business com-munity by promoting tour-ism and business develop-ment through legislative ad-vocacy, marketing services, networking opportunities and education programs for our members.

bers in both houses who understand the importance of small business,” said Ehlbeck. “We’re pleased with our progress, but there’s always room for improvement.”

Indeed, especially for the 10 members of the Assem-bly and two members of the Senate whose scores were below 50 percent.

“Despite the bad econo-my, and despite that small businesses provide more than half of all jobs in New Jersey, there is a handful of legislators who voted consistently against the interests of the small busi-nesses in their districts,” said Ehlbeck.

Still, there is reason for encouragement, according to Ehlbeck.

“Believe it or not, it’s a victory that no one scored a zero year,” she said. “It was common in previous sessions to have a number of lawmakers voting against small business on every single issue. That didn’t happen this time, which means that we’re making progress.”

A score of 70 on the Vot-

ing Record is considered a passing grade, according to Ehlbeck. In the Assembly, 33 Republicans and 4 Dem-ocrats made the grade. In the Senate, 15 Republicans and one Democrat scored 70 or higher.

NFIB is one of the only organizations in America whose members vote to determine the key issues. The members are bal-loted, and the bills they identify form the Voting Record. The organization then counts the votes for every legislator and applies a score.

“It’s a very objective way to determine whether politicians are genuinely concerned about small businesses, or whether they’re just talking a good game,” said Ehlbeck. “And it’s important for voters to know the difference.”

With all 120 legislators up for election this year, the NFIB Voting Record should be helpful for voters who want to know how their representatives really stand on the issues.

For more information about the NFIB voting, please visit www. nfib.com/new-jersey.

ELECTRONIC BIDS will be re-ceived by the Chief Financial Of-fi cer of the Borough of Stone Har-bor, in the County of Cape May, New Jersey (the “Borough”), via the PARITY® Electronic Bid Sys-tem (“PARITY®”) of i-Deal LLC (“i-Deal”) on Tuesday, October 25, 2011, until 11:00 a.m., local time, at which time they will be publicly announced, for the purchase of $14,370,000 bonds, consisting of $12,750,000 General Bonds of 2011 and $1,620,000 Water and Sewer Bonds (collectively, the “Bonds”) of the Borough due on November 1 as follows, either as serial Bonds or as term Bonds with sinking fund installments in accor-dance with this Notice of Sale:

$12,750,000 General Bonds of 2011, maturing in the principal amount of $825,000 in 2012, $865,000 in 2013, $905,000 in 2014, $945,000 in 2015, $985,000 in 2016, $1,025,000 in 2017, $1,075,000 in 2018, $1,125,000 in 2019, $1,175,000 in 2020, $1,225,000 in 2021, $1,275,000 in 2022 and $1,325,000 in 2023.

The Bonds will be dated the date of delivery thereof, and will bear interest at the rate or rates per annum specifi ed by the success-ful bidder therefor in accordance with this Notice of Sale, payable on May 1 and November 1 in each year until maturity or earlier redemption, commencing May 1, 2012. The record dates for the payment of principal of and inter-est on the Bonds will be the April 15 and October 15 next preceding each such payment date.

The Bonds will be issued in book-entry form only, initially in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). Purchasers will not re-ceive certifi cates representing their interests in the Bonds. Individual purchases will be in the principal amount of $1,000 (with a $5,000 minimum) and integral multiples thereof. Payments of principal or redemption price, if any, and inter-est will be made by the Borough or its agent to DTC for subsequent disbursement to DTC participants to then be remitted to the benefi -cial owners of the Bonds.

The Bonds maturing prior to No-vember 1, 2022, are not subject to redemption prior to their stated maturities at the option of the Bor-ough. The Bonds of each series maturing on or after November 1, 2022, are subject to redemption prior to their stated maturities at the option of the Borough upon mailed notice, as described in the resolution of the Borough authoriz-ing the Bonds, in whole or in part, in any order of maturity and by lot within a maturity if less than all the Bonds of such maturity are to be redeemed, on any date on or after November 1, 2021, at a redemp-tion price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with interest accrued, if any, to the date fi xed for redemption.

A bidder may aggregate con-secutive principal maturities of the Bonds for which such bidder bids the same interest rate, into term bonds. Each such term bond shall mature on the fi nal maturity date of its consecutive maturities in an ag-gregate principal amount equal to the sum of the principal amounts of its consecutive maturities. Such term bonds will be subject to man-datory sinking fund redemption at one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount thereof, to-gether with accrued interest to the date fi xed for such redemption, in the amounts and on the dates that would have been consecutive se-rial maturities had no term Bond designation been made. Notice of redemption shall be given as provided in the resolution of the Borough authorizing the Bonds.

The Bonds will not be designated as “qualifi ed tax-exempt obliga-tions” for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Each bid must specify in a multiple of 1/8 or 1/20 of 1% the rate or rates of interest which the Bonds are to bear. If more than one rate of interest is specifi ed, no inter-est rate specifi ed for any maturity may be less than the interest rate specifi ed in any prior maturity and not more than one rate of interest may be specifi ed for the Bonds of the same maturity. There is no limitation on the number of rates of interest that may be specifi ed. If more than one rate of interest is named, no rate of interest named for any maturity may be less than the rate of interest named for any prior maturity, and the difference between the highest and the low-est rates of interest named shall not exceed fi ve percent (5%).

The Bonds will be awarded to the bidder on whose bid the total loan may be made at the lowest net interest cost. Such net inter-est cost shall be computed, as to each bid, by adding to the total principal amount of Bonds bid for the total interest cost to maturity in accordance with such bid and by deduction therefrom of the amount of premium, if any, bid. No bids shall be considered that offers to pay an amount less than the prin-cipal amount of Bonds offered for sale or under which the total loan is made at an interest cost higher than the lowest net interest cost to the Borough under any legally acceptable bids, and if two (2) or more such bidders offer to pay the same lowest net interest cost, then the Bonds will be sold to one (1) of such bidders selected by lot from among all such bidders. The pur-chaser must also pay an amount equal to the interest on the Bonds accrued to the date of payment of the purchase price. The right is reserved to reject all bids and any bid not complying with the terms of this Notice of Sale may be re-jected.

Each bidder is required to deposit a certifi ed or cashier’s or trea-surer’s check drawn upon a bank or trust company or a fi nancial surety bond issued by Financial Security Assurance Inc., 350 Park Avenue, New York, New York, 10022, in each case payable to the order of the Borough of Stone Harbor, in the County of Cape May, New Jersey, for $287,400

(the “Deposit Amount”). In lieu of the foregoing, a bidder may deliver the Deposit Amount via a wire transfer of immediately avail-able funds to the Borough. Wiring instructions are as follows: Sturdy Savings Bank, Stone Harbor, New Jersey, ABA #231271284, credit to: Borough of Stone Har-bor, Account #155000438. Such check, wire transfer or fi nancial surety bond must be received by the Chief Financial Offi cer of the Borough at or before 11:00 a.m., local time, on the bid date at the Municipal Building, 9508 Second Avenue, Stone Harbor, New Jer-sey 08247. The fi nancial surety bond must identify each bidder whose Deposit Amount is guaran-teed by the fi nancial surety bond. If the Bonds are awarded to a bidder utilizing a fi nancial surety bond, then that bidder is required to pay the Deposit Amount to the Borough by wire transfer not later than 1:00 p.m., local time, on the next business day following the award. If the Deposit Amount is not received by that time, the Bor-ough may draw upon the fi nancial surety bond to satisfy the Deposit Amount requirement. No interest on the Deposit Amount will ac-crue to the successful bidder. The Deposit Amount will be applied in part payment for the Bonds or to secure the Borough from any loss resulting from the failure of the successful bidder to comply with the terms of its bid.

Award of the Bonds to the suc-cessful bidder, or rejection of all bids, is expected to be made promptly after receipt of the bids, but the successful bidder may not withdraw its bid until after 3:00 p.m., local time, of the day of such bid-receipt and then only if such award has not been made prior to the withdrawal. The Bonds will be delivered and shall be paid for in immediately available funds on or about November 9, 2011, at such place in Newark, New Jersey, and on such business day and at such hour, as the undersigned shall fi x on fi ve (5) business days’ notice to the successful bidder, or at such other place and time as may be agreed upon with the successful bidder.

Each bid must be submitted via PARITY®. No bidder will see any other bidder’s bid, nor will any bid-der see the status of its bid rela-tive to other bids (e.g., whether its bid is a leading bid). To the extent any instructions or directions set forth on PARITY® confl ict with this Notice of Sale, the terms of this Notice of Sale shall control. For further information about PAR-ITY®. potential bidders may con-tact PARITY® at i-Deal at (212) 404-8102. The Borough may, but is not obligated to, acknowledge its acceptance in writing of any bid submitted electronically via PAR-ITY®. Each bidder further agrees that:

(1) If a bid submitted electronically via PARITY® is accepted by the Borough, the terms of this Notice of Sale and the information that is electronically transmitted via PAR-ITY® shall form a contract, and the successful bidder shall be bound by the terms of such contract.

(2) PARITY® is not an agent of the Borough, and the Borough shall have no liability whatsoever based on any bidder’s use of PARITY®, including but not limited to any failure by PARITY® to correctly or timely transmit information provid-ed by the Borough or information provided by the bidder.

(3) The Borough may choose to discontinue use of electronic bidding via PARITY® by issuing a notifi cation to such effect via TM3 News Services, or by other available means, no later than 3:00 p.m., eastern time, on the last business date prior to the bid date.

(4) Once the bids are communi-cated electronically via PARITY® to the Borough, each bid shall be deemed to be an irrevocable of-fer to purchase the Bonds on the terms provided in this Notice of Sale.

(5) Each bidder shall be solely responsible to make necessary arrangements to access PAR-ITY® for purposes of submitting its bid in a timely manner and in compliance with the requirements of this Notice of Sale. Neither the Borough nor i-Deal shall have any duty or obligation to provide or assure to any bidder, and neither the Borough nor i-Deal shall be responsible for the proper opera-tion of, or have any liability for any delays or interruptions of, or any damages caused by, PARITY®.

The Borough is using PARITY® as a communication mechanism, and not as the Borough’s agent, to conduct the electronic bidding for the Bonds. By using PARITY®, each bidder agrees to hold the Borough harmless for any harm or damages caused to such bidder in connection with its use of PAR-ITY® for bidding on the Bonds.

The successful bidder may at its option refuse to accept the Bonds if prior to their delivery any income tax law of the United States of America shall provide that the in-terest thereon is taxable, or shall be taxable at a future date, for federal income tax purposes, and in such case the Deposit Amount paid by it will be returned and the successful bidder will be relieved of its contractual obligations aris-ing from the acceptance of its bid.

If the Bonds qualify for issuance of any policy of municipal bond insur-ance or commitment therefor at the option of a bidder, any purchase of such insurance or commitment therefor shall be at the sole op-tion and expense of the bidder and any increased costs of issuance of the Bonds resulting by reason of such insurance, unless otherwise paid, shall be paid by such bidder. Any failure of the Bonds to be so insured or of any such policy of insurance to be issued, shall not in any way relieve the purchaser of its contractual obligations arising from the acceptance of its bids for the purchase of the Bonds.

Prior to or simultaneously with the delivery of the Bonds, the suc-cessful bidder shall furnish to the Borough a certifi cate, in form ac-ceptable to bond counsel to the Borough, setting forth the price or yields of each maturity of the Bonds calculated on the basis of retail sales of the Bonds, in accor-dance with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

It is anticipated that CUSIP identi-fi cation numbers will be printed on the Bonds, but neither the failure to print such number on any Bond nor any error with respect thereto shall constitute cause for the fail-ure or refusal of the successful bidder to accept delivery of and pay for the Bonds. The CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the as-signment of CUSIP numbers on the Bonds shall be the responsibil-ity of and shall be paid for by the successful bidder.

A preliminary offi cial statement (the “Preliminary Offi cial Statement”) relating to the Bonds is available at www.i-DealProspectus.com and the Preliminary Offi cial Statement is deemed fi nal as of its date by the Borough for purposes and within the meaning of Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. A fi nal offi cial state-ment (the “Offi cial Statement”) will be delivered to the successful bid-der within seven (7) business days of the award of the Bonds. In order to assist bidders in complying with said Rule 15c2-12, the Borough will undertake to provide certain continuing disclosure as further described in the Preliminary Of-fi cial Statement.

The successful bidder will be fur-nished, without cost, with the ap-proving opinion of the law fi rm of Hawkins Delafi eld & Wood LLP, bond counsel to the Borough, to the effect that the Bonds are valid and legally binding obligations of the Borough and, unless paid from other sources, are payable from ad valorem taxes levied upon all the taxable property therein with-out limitation as to rate or amount. The obligations under this Notice of Sale to deliver or accept the Bonds pursuant to this Notice of Sale shall be conditioned on the availability to the successful bidder and delivery at the time of delivery of the Bonds of the said approving opinion and of certifi cates in form and tenor satisfactory to said law fi rm evidencing the proper execu-tion and delivery of the Bonds and receipt of payment therefor and including a statement, dated as of the date of such delivery, to the effect that, except as may be disclosed in the Offi cial Statement, there is no litigation pending or (to the knowledge of the signer or signers thereof) threatened relat-ing to the Bonds.

The Borough reserves the right to postpone, from time to time, the date and time established for receipt of bids and the right to ad-just the maturity schedule for the Bonds. Any such postponement or adjustment will be published on TM3 News Services, or by other available means, not less than twenty-four (24) hours prior to

the sale. If any date fi xed for the receipt of bids and the sale of the Bonds is postponed, an alterna-tive sale date will be announced via TM3 News Services, or by other available means, at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to such alternative sale date.

EDISON — The New Jersey Association of REAL-TORS® (NJAR®) Govern-mental Research Founda-tion (GRF) released a group of three reports on meth-ods of controlling property taxes in New Jersey. The fi rst two studies show the benefits associated with consolidating either ser-vices such as police, fi re, municipalities or school districts. The third report details how property taxes can be controlled and ulti-mately lowered by the new 2.0 percent property tax cap that took effect at the beginning of this year.

The reports listed below were conducted for NJAR® GRF by the Ball State Uni-versity Center for Business and Economic Research:

• Local Government Consolidation: Potential Savings Due to Econo-mies of Scale & Effi ciency Gains, Analysis of Local Government Functions

• Local Government Consolidation: Potential Savings Due to Econo-mies of Scale & Effi ciency Gains, Analysis of Public School Districts

• An Examination of the Economic Impact of Property Tax Levy Caps on Economic Activity in New Jersey

According to NJAR® Chief Executive Officer Jarrod Grasso, “NJAR® GRF is proud to have com-missioned these studies be-cause we believe they can provide a road map of the next steps we must take to combat soaring property taxes. These three reports were prepared because RE-ALTORS® are an integral part of the communities we serve and we understand the tremendous hardship high property taxes have on Garden State residents.

“Determining ways to control the property tax burden isn’t just a means of helping more people achieve homeownership, it’s also a common sense approach to keep families in New Jersey and in their homes.”

In the fi rst two reports on consolidating munici-pal services and school

Reports Show Tax Caps, Consolidation Can Help Ease Property Tax Burdens

districts, researchers stud-ied consolidations using two types of procedures, the economies of scale model and the effi ciency model. The economies of scale model examines how the cost to operate local government services and/or school districts can be decreased by spreading out the cost of those services among a larger group of taxpayers.

The efficiency model examines how the costs for the same services can be decreased by lowering the number of government units within a county. In the consolidation reports for both local government services and school dis-tricts, it was found that while savings to property taxpayers were present in both models, savings were minimal in the economies of scale model but the effi ciency model had the potential to be substantial.

According to Dr. Mi-chael Hicks, director of the Center for Business and Economic Research at Ball State University, “Our study found that inef-fi ciencies associated with the proliferation of local governments increases the costs of government in the state (the average Garden State county has 57 local governments). Consolidat-ing one school district, for example, so that there is one less school district in a county, could lead to $7 to $10 million in savings ac-cording to our estimates.”

“The two reports on consolidation concluded that, while the potential for lower property tax-es is high by reducing the number of governmen-tal units in a county, that cost savings for taxpayers would be subject to other fiscal decisions made by local governments facili-tating the consolidation. These include contract decisions for employees in the jurisdictions where the consolidation occurs,” Grasso added.

The third report on the recently enacted 2.0 per-cent property tax cap shows that this reform put in place

by Governor Christie and the State Legislature on a bipartisan basis will in the long-term, not only lead to lower property taxes for New Jersey residents, but also will be responsible for higher household incomes, and an increase in both employment and business sales in the Garden State.

According to Dr. Dagney Faulk, director of Research for the Center for Business and Economic Research at Ball State University, “In New Jersey, the full effect of the levy caps that were implemented this past January will be economic growth of roughly 1.5 per-cent, 78,500 more jobs and effective growth in income of more than $1,100 per household.”

“The study detailing the positive effects of the 2.0 percent property tax cap clearly shows that New Jersey is positioning itself to be an incredible reloca-tion option for families and businesses. It also indicates that we are making strides in our efforts to create more affordable conditions for our current residents,” said Grasso.

“The study showing the positive impact of the 2.0 percent property tax cap is proof that bipartisan co-operation can lead to sen-sible and effective policy solutions. While progress has been made in the fi ght to control property taxes, there are issues that still need to be addressed, in-cluding the consolidation of government services. New Jersey REALTORS® encourage lawmakers to continue working with municipalities and school districts to help implement consolidations that will lower property taxes with-out affecting the quality of services being provided. While there is no silver bul-let to fi x the Garden State’s property tax crisis, the con-solidation of government entities is another tool that we should consider utiliz-ing,” Grasso concluded.

CAPE MAY – The city is beginning the process to create a tourism utility.

The account, like the city’s beach and water/sewer utilities, will break out expenses of the recre-ation department, special events and Convention Hall.

The purpose would be to take the burden off taxpay-ers for tourism-related ex-penses and match them up with tourism-related rev-enue, according to Mayor Edward J. Mahaney Jr.

The mayor, City Man-ager Bruce MacLeod, Au-ditor Leon Costello and

Cape May to Separate Tourism Revenue/Expenses

City Solicitor Tony Monzo presented two hours of information on the pro-posed tourism utility at a Tue., Oct. 4 City Council meeting.

Mahaney said a new city tourism utility would be re-sponsible for the functions of managing and operating all recreation programs, special events, a public information offi ce, the new Convention Hall, and the marketing and promotion of tourism for the city.

Individuals, groups, and organizations that utilize and benefit from these recreation and tourism activities and events would be the users paying the

costs for the programs and initiatives. The cost bur-den would not fall on the non-participating taxpayers through the city’s annual current fund budget and re-lated capital improvement budget, said Mahaney.

He recommended that debt service for the new Convention Hall should remain assigned to the city’s current fund debt service and not be assigned to a new tourism utility because of the magnitude of the debt service for the construction.

“This is strictly a budget-ing and accounting tech-nique, it is nothing more than that,” said Mahaney.

“There are no taxes in-volved, there are no sur-charges on business…”

He said the tourism utility funds would grow gradually over the years. It must be solvent and self-sustaining or at the end of the year, taxpayers would be required to cover the shortfall by transferring money from the general fund.

“We don’t want to do that,” said the mayor.

Among the funding sources for the utility would be fees from city recreation programs and rental fees for Convention Hall, said Mahaney.

He said he was rec-ommending that council eliminate the city’s Tour-ism Commission and in its place create a Tourism Advisory Committee made up of representatives of civic, residential, business and military groups.

He said the city wanted to partner with all the groups that are tourist re-lated in the town. Each group has a certain amount of money to promote and market Cape May, said the mayor.

“No one group has enough money to handle this…” said Mahaney.

He suggested an um-brella agency where all the groups cooperate on such items as a citywide events calendar and coordinate marketing and advertising efforts.

Mahaney said funding for marketing and tourism would continue to come from a portion of mercan-tile license fees as it did for the Tourism Commission.

Auditor Leon Costello offered a “wild guess” that the city would find $500,000 of revenue for the tourism utility. He said it could not spend more than what is in the fund.

Costello predicted the city would collect more than $500,000 for the util-ity. As the tourism utility grows, it will be permitted to make a contribution to the city’s current fund for the debt service on Con-vention Hall, he said.

The city’s portion of the hotel-motel-lodging room tax brings in about $1 million per year which has been going into the gen-eral fund to offset property taxes, said Costello. He said council could vote to place some of that money into the tourism utility.

Under current state cap laws, it would be impossi-ble to move all that money to the tourism utility, said Costello.

Monzo said four ordi-nance changes would be needed to establish the new utility. He said user fees would need to be set for Convention Hall.

MacLeod proposed an establishing ordinance for the tourism utility be introduced November 1 with a public hearing and adoption December 6. The utility would be in place for 2012.

CAPE MAY – City Coun-cil is preparing to introduce an ordinance that would ban smoking on the beach and Promenade beginning in 2012.

Deputy Mayor Jack Wich-terman said he spoke with Robert Martucci, borough manager of Seaside Park, which enacted a smoking ban on its entire beachfront and boardwalk this past summer.

“Mr. Martucci report-ed that it was extremely successful,” said Wichter-man.

The deputy mayor said Seaside Park’s 28 beach entryways were similar to Cape May’s. Beachtaggers in Seaside Park reminded beachgoers the beaches were non-smoking and a no smoking message was added to existing signs at each entryway, he said.

Martucci reported co-operation was nearly 100 percent with few com-plaints. Bathers exited the boardwalk and beach and smoked on the shoulder of the street.

If necessary, lifeguards informed beachgoers that the borough’s beaches were smoke-free, said Wichter-man quoting Martucci.

Initially, Wichterman proposed banning smok-ing on the beach but al-

Cape May PreparesTo Ban Smoking On Beaches

low it on the Promenade. He provided City Solicitor Tony Monzo with a copy of Seaside Park’s beach smok-ing ban ordinance along with others from North Jersey towns.

Some beach towns allot-ted a small smoking area on each beach such as a 20-foot by 20-foot rectangle.

“There are very few smokers within the City of Cape May that I saw at least on the beach that I go to,” said Wichterman.

Councilwoman Deanna Fiocca said she would pre-fer no smoking on the Promenade as well. Mayor Edward J. Mahaney, Coun-cilman William Murray and Councilwoman Terri Swain agreed.

Murray said banning smoking on the Promenade would prevent beachgo-ers from having to walk through a cloud of smoke from smokers to get to the beach.

Wichterman asked how a ban against smoking would be enforced on the Promenade since there are not a lot of police offi cers patrolling that area.

“We don’t want to be the ‘City of No’,” he said. “But we do want to accom-modate the vast majority of people.”

Murray said he did not believe a no smoking sign on the Promenade would

be detrimental to tourism. Wichterman said Seaside Park added the non-smok-ing item to existing signs on its boardwalk.

He said Seaside Park had a “younger crowd” than what is seen on Cape May’s beaches.

Mahaney said Ocean City banned smoking from the beach and had small, designated smoking areas on its boardwalk.

Monzo asked if council would like to include city parks in the smoking ban ordinance. Mahaney said he would include parks.

“Before it’s asked, I can only imagine the next suggestion is going to be Washington Street Mall,” said City Manager Bruce MacLeod speaking of an expanded smoking ban.

Mahaney suggested the city try the smoking ban on the beach and Promenade for one year and “see how it works out.”

Resident Bernie Haas asked if council was watch-ing a television series on prohibition on WHYY Chan-nel 12. He said that was an era when this nation tried to legislate against vice, “not that this is vice.”

He said to ban smoking on the beaches when the city has determined there are “fewer smokers than ever,” was counterproduc-tive to tourism.

Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.

From the Publisher’s Wife

I’m Not Political But… I had not been in the Wildwood Crest municipal courtroom since

we went there in about 1980 to seek a variance to build our home. My Wednesday morning appearance in the plain, but comfortable chamber reminded me of that night, so long ago, when our 31-year-old daughter was still a nursing infant. A variance for (height as I recall) was granted and that was about the last brush with local government I have had in those many intervening years.

Not that I haven’t been a fairly responsible citizen, voting in many local state and national elections, but I have left the nuts and bolts of governance to those more savvy than I in managing the affairs of our borough. After all, my experience in such things stopped at the door of a public school classroom in which I taught before the children came along and managing the very special privilege of being the homemaker of a busy family.

I always have been an avid reader and been only interested in national politics.

I did not pay attention to what went on in our little blocks-wide community on the Five-Mile Island that we share with four other governing bodies. (Now that is a thought for another day). Oc-casionally I noticed when they did something I liked, but often I was grumbling about something that displeased me.

Lately, events and winds of ideas that seem to permeate our col-lective minds have roused me to abandon my civic stupor.

Lately, events and winds of ideas that seem to permeate our collective minds have roused me to abandon my civic stupor.

====================One of those events was my husband’s conversation with a Lower

Township offi cial who lamented the lack of public support as he attempts to govern. He expressed that it is next to impossible to get anybody to run for offi ce. Take note of the race for freeholder and the candidates running unopposed. I feel ashamed for all of us.

Another component in my decision to reenter the Crest Munici-pal Building has been the awareness of how precious is this fragile thing we call Democracy. Art and I both have recently fi nished reading a book called “A History of the American People” by Paul Johnson. It confi rmed my love for this nation and the rare country that it is. However America has over 300 million citizens and I feel very small in that big number.

It is different in our little seaside town. Here I can walk into the Borough Hall and see my neighbors sitting in the seats of decision. I can listen to them debate the issues and even have the astounding privilege of expressing what I think. Astounding in comparison to rioters in the Middle East who are dying every day for that ability. Our community leaders need us to pay attention. They are asking us, “What do you think?” and “How should we spend your money?” Don’t you think many of us should be there to answer these questions?

PATRICIA HALL, the publisher’s wife

A nasty word makes us New Jerseyans fi guratively spit in our coffee. To Cape May County residents, that angry spitting is accompanied by expletives at the very thought that someone not of our own community would have the effrontery to tell us what we will do, and what is best for us. To us, that concept seems to have been driven out when the last vestige of royalty was chased from the Colonies.

The word, and you can curse in a moment, is “regionaliza-tion.”

On paper, in budgets and in proper venues where such onerous things are discussed, like in hair salons, barbershops and mom-and-pop stores, that fi lthy utterance actually makes sense. To a cash-strapped municipality, the aspect of sharing a snowplow or front-end loader is OK. However, taken any farther, as in combining police and fi re departments, well, brother, you had better be ready to back up those words you say with something very special.

Should anyone in authority so much as think the word “re-gionalization” or, God forbid “central dispatch,” knives may start fl ying. Older folks grab for Maalox or their heart medicine. Think of it, so darned outsider, maybe someone from Ocean City or Woodbine answering the phone when we dial 9-1-1 crying for an ambulance or fi re truck. Heaven forbid it should happen!

Could this county’s emergency dispatching be consolidated under one roof? My gut says “yes,” my mind says, “Al, you’re a fool to even fl oat such a failed idea.”

I see your face growing red, so I’ll throw it into neutral for a moment. Think of something childlike and simple that happens at the end of this month. That’s right, Trick or Treat.

Judging from what I see in stores and on candy shelves, the celebration of Halloween, regardless of your views about it, is super big business. Some homes are decorated in somber cemetery settings with ugly skeletons emerging from the septic fi eld or hanging from the trees. Others homes are decorated in laughing pumpkins and merry cornstalk arrangements.

So, how does all this mesh with regionalization?Wouldn’t it make a whole lot of sense for each of Cape May

County’s 16 municipalities to have one set time for the rabble-rousing hobgoblins to wander door to door voicing the trio of words, “Trick or treat?”

While there may be a date upon which all agree, and that is a tough one to nail down, the hours of collection are all over the face of the clock. Why?

What would happen if, better sit down so you won’t hit your head when you fall, the Board of Chosen Freeholders would actually proclaim Oct. 31 between the hours of 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. “Trick of Treat Night” throughout Cape May County?

Having waded into a minefi eld, how would our fi ve top elected

Why Not One Trick or Treat or Central Dispatch?leaders get out of that war zone without the actual shedding of a drop of blood?

I can only imagine the Spout Offs:• What gives those guys the idea they control Halloween?

Here in North Cape May, we want to give our kids candy when we want to give kids candy. -- North Cape May.

• Whom do they think they are to say it’s OK for kids to come to Cape May Point where we don’t have Trick or Treat Night? Just wait until next election. -- Cape May Point.

• I knew it, I knew it, this present ad-ministration is out to take our minds off the trickery I know goes on in the back room. -- Swainton.

• These guys will do anything for a vote. I’m putting my house up for sale and mov-ing to Montana. -- West Wildwood.

A good friend of mine, happily retired from law enforcement, who has keen politi-cal insight and great Irish wit, got talking to me in Blitz’s Market, Court House as I was waiting for my cold cut order to be sliced.

With a wry grin on his wrinkled face, we discussed what I’ve already set forth in this column.

“If they can’t agree on something as simple as Trick or Treat Night, how are they ever going to get together on central dis-patch?” he wondered. The man had a point.

As we all know, eating the right food and exercising regularly is healthy and is what we ought to do, most of us do not hold ourselves to that august standard. We do not practice what we preach.

Now that your face has returned to its ordinary shade, do you think this county’s municipalities are ready to seriously sit down and discuss regionalization and central dispatch…and a unifi ed Trick or Treat Night?

Having been around this tiny peninsula a year or two, if I were a betting man (OK, I put $1 a week on the Jersey Pick 5, and thus far have won $9), I wouldn’t give central dispatch more than a 40 percent chance. If we could suppress the notion of fi efdoms, there might be a glimmer of hope, but that’s not going to happen, at least in my lifetime.

Regionalization, if all it involves is a hunk of machinery and not supervisory powers of one person over another, I’ll give it a 60 percent chance of happening.

Finally, what are the chances of one Trick or Treat Night in Cape May County from 4-8 p.m.? Not a snowball’s chance in the place where those Halloween devils live.

To The Editor:

It’s so obvious the taxpayers of Lower Township have no interest in keeping their property taxes from increasing every year by excessive cost of contracts for township and school employees. Employee costs are the largest part of our budgets and taxes; so employee contracts can signifi cantly impact our taxes for each year of the contract.

The Lower Township taxpayers must have moved up in their income, the retirees must be fi nancially well off and this has become a rich township. You can’t really see how rich Lower Township has become. Certainly the over 200 houses currently on the market or waiting in foreclosure doesn’t seem to support the idea of a wealthy community.

I’d like to bring to the taxpayers attention some statements made by our township employees union offi cials and by our elected offi cials. At the Aug.15, 2011 Lower Township Council meet-

ing, there was a discussion between council, our solicitor and the public to draft a resolution or ordinance which would allow the public to see the negotiated union contracts prior to council’s fi nal vote. At this meeting the entire council agreed to allow the public to view the contracts. The public would be allowed to make statements regarding the contracts at the next council meeting prior to council’s fi nal vote. The decision was made to accomplish this through resolution rather than ordinance. The solicitor was instructed to draft the resolution for the next meeting. I should note, the township agenda is legally supposed to be fi nalized by the end of the week preceding the Monday meeting. Supposedly, only “emergency” topics are to be added after that timeframe.

A funny thing happened at the next meeting on Sept. 6, not only was the resolution not on the agenda for discussion or a vote, but also the employee union representatives showed up. Dur-

‘Strong, Bitter Words Indicate A Weak Cause’To The Editor:

Recently, I was making calls to ask permission to place signs for my party’s candidate. I have done this many times. Often I would have a friendly conversa-tion, even as I was being told no. Now there is a whole new attitude to our politics. We have become vicious to our op-ponents, with venomous attacks on them and everyone within their association. In fact, while all this negative dialogue is fl ow-ing, very little positive is being shared for anyone to hear. The attacks are quite personal and harsh, often causing others who are uninvolved, to be drug into the ugliness. Right in tow with these nasty individuals are the people with personal vendettas who use these venues to their own end.

I want to make it clear that I consider Nate Doughty, Susan Delanzo, Steve Russell, Tim Donohue and Bill Sturm as my friends and neighbors. I will not respect any one disrespecting these individuals. When the election is over and the dust settles, these are the very folks who will come together for our community. The noisy bunch will probably retreat to the base-ment of Spout Off where it is, I’m sure, their natural dwelling habitat. This quote from Victor Hugo sums it up for me,” Strong and bitter words indicate a weak cause.”

I am far from a choirboy, but this nonsense is now over the top. I will listen all day to any-

Making Life Work!

By DR. JUDITH COCHE

“What matters, therefore, is not the meaning of life in general but rather the specifi c meaning of a person’s life at a given moment.”

—Viktor Frankl

Next to me, a male voice bellowed from behind a video camera, “Oh baby, you’re doing great! Just a little more sweetheart, I promise. Daddy is so proud of you!” Hazel eyes as big as saucers, Penelope looked bewildered as she felt the warm water mysteriously creep past her ankles, higher and higher until she was fl oating, fully suspended in aquatic space. “Oh, sweetheart, do you like that? Daddy thinks you might like that. You look so, so…peaceful! Just wait ‘til our family sees how well you are doing. They will be so happy!”

My take, which I kept to myself as I watched this drama unfold, was that Penelope not only disliked her watery surrounds, but, since she was held by a hand surrounding her small life jacket, knew she was licked and was resigned to her fate. I sat mesmerized as she fl oated, chin bobbling, unable to fi ght the rising water than had removed her ability to resist anything. Penelope, an 18-year-old tabby cat with soft grey striped fur, was receiving her fi rst hy-drotherapy treatment at Center City’s Whole Animal Gym.

Trying to show no surprise in my voice, I asked the man his rationale in selecting water therapy for his cat. (I would have made a different choice, given that every cat I have known hates water.) This sophisticated, well-informed 50’ish man replied, “I have had many cats, but Penelope is really special.” His eyes got misty. “She means the world to me. This can help her enjoy her senior years, so it is worth the effort.”

Then I understood. Life takes odd detours, creating wise decisions that one never planned. What took me to this situation is that Whitby Anderson, our legendary canine staff member at The Coche Center, has developed back trouble. At 13 plus, or 95 human years, surgery seems unwise, but, to reduce swelling and pain, our vet suggested medication, supplements, acupuncture, and physical therapy. Oddly enough, this seemed reason-able, so Whitby now goes to his very own gym. Unlike Penelope, he likes his time, especially the treats and 30 minutes of pats.

Penelope’s Water Walk: Meaning Creates Human FlourishingFinished for the day, I wished Penelope well, and, walk-

ing Whitby slowly to our car, mused about how deeply our pets infuse our lives with meaning.

This is the fourth of a six part series on human fl our-ishing. At the heart of fl ourishing is the sense that we are engaged in activities so meaningful to us that we are certain they are worthwhile. When an activity generates well being (even submerging an aged cat in water), high functioning people choose to do the activity for its own sake. Penelope’s owner loves this cat and is proud to help her thrive in her rarifi ed 18th year of feline life, just as I offer Whitby his personal work out center. These unusual choices make perfect sense when you understand the way healthy people doggedly (no pun intended) pursue happiness.

At The Coche Center, my practice in Clinical Psychol-ogy, we assume that healthy humans require meaningful lives. We derive meaning by engaging in something more global than our own life that also is considered impor-tant by others. In Whitby’s case, our clients are both relieved and admiring when they hear that I have found a non-invasive treatment for his senior aliments. The

support of others helps me return to the gym with Whitby, just as the support of his family will help Penelope’s owner have the tenacity to submerge her in water to strengthen her hind legs. The opinion of others contributes to what one considers meaningful. But, even without the praise of others, maintaining the health of a beloved four-legged family member provides many of us with a very deep level of life meaning.

Penelope’s owner and I are also demonstrat-ing other features of a fl ourishing life in pursu-ing treatment for our pets. We show:

1. Optimism by selecting an infrequently chosen treatment. We have been advised by experts that this is likely to help.

2. Resilience by choosing an obscure answer to a prob-lem, even if others judge the choice as foolish.

3. Self determination by researching our choices.4. Vitality through continued enthusiasm for our

decision.5. Positive relationships by supporting the animal,

which has enriched our lives through, continued loving companionship for over a decade.

In the fi nal analysis, pursue what means the most. Pursue with enthusiasm, and watch your life fl ourish. You’ll be glad you did.

To consider: Which unusual life decisions have you pursued? Are you glad ?

At last! My favorite time of year. For as long as I can remember, fi rst as a New Englander and then as a Cape May County resident, autumn has been my favorite. I like winter, I barely tolerate summer, and could do without spring entirely. Maybe that’s the lingering trauma of spring in New England, where it’s not really called spring, but “mud season.”

Nothing is more glorious than autumn at the shore, es-pecially in Cape May. These are the best beach days, in my book, with the water still warm but the humidity gone for another year.

And then there’s the spooky side of the season. I have to admit it: I was never a fan of Halloween. So, it was with some skepticism that I initially viewed Halloween Happenings here at the Phys-ick Estate. I wasn’t alone at the beginning either, but luckily – on the other side of the equation –was Barbara Oberholtzer. In real life, the other 11 months of the year, Barbara is our manager of tour systems here at MAC, something she’s been doing for 24 years.

And while creativity is certainly called for in juggling umpteen trolley tours, house tours and special events to make them all fi t into a workable calendar, it’s nothing compared to what she’s done to the Phys-ick House over the past few years.

Come early fall, she emerges from her cocoon of organized and meticulous detail work and throws herself wholeheartedly into transforming this 1879 Victorian man-sion into a haunted house.

We often refer to the Physick House as Cape May’s original haunted house, and I know there are lots of local grown-ups who can attest to playing in and around the estate in the days when it was just that. Since those days, however, the cobwebs

A Spooky Time of the Yearhave been swept away and the dark corners brought to light and it’s just a beautiful home to visit and imagine its glorious heyday.

Come Halloween season, how-ever, Barbara and her crew of like-minded ghouls send the house back

in time. The cobwebs come back, albeit man-made. Cackling creatures and crawl-ing spiders lurk in the corners. Members of our guide staff who normally are the very models of decorum in fl oor length skirts and lacy blouses with high collars and leg-of-mutton sleeves now wear tattered shrouds and greet visitors with leering and

bloody grins. Although I doubt any spooky specters are too much for Barbara, she wanted to make sure our visitors were able to sleep at night after leaving the tour, so we now even have two versions of our Phantoms of the Physick Estate house tour, with an afternoon tour more suited to youngsters and those who don’t want to have nightmares (like me) and a little scarier night version, when the real Halloween addicts on staff haunt the house.

In recent years, Anna Leeper has been the driving force behind Scare-crow Alley, so even before you get to the house itself, you have to walk the gauntlet of scarecrows contributed by area busi-nesses, schools and organizations.

I have to admit, it’s contagious. The past few years, I’ve joined the ghoulish ranks and added some ghostly face paint and a rat or two to my Victorian costume, greeting trick or treaters on Halloween night on the porch at the Physick Estate.

Come November, after the Halloween decorations are dismantled and put away to gather usable dust and cobwebs for next year, Barbara retreats to her desk and her orderly, organized role here at MAC. But you just know, in the dark shadows in the recesses of her mind, lurk the ideas for next year’s Phantoms of the Physick Estate. Boo!

Jan. 7, 2010. That particular date—my sentencing day—will always elicit a fl oodgate of emotions. It is the day I received my fi ve-and-a-half-year sentence, along with the unexpected blessing of a release date, a gift I could never deserve in a million years. One million words cannot properly describe this one date—one I will always remember—not for one million tears, but for one freeing hug.

I slept well on the eve of my sentencing, some-thing that can only be attributed to the prayers of family, friends and countless others. I knew I was going to prison—something I still couldn’t wrap my mind around. I used to watch the TV series Prison Break from the safety and comfort of my living room, never once imagining myself walking prison halls, or living a prison reality.

I woke up on Jan. 7, 2010 with my feelings of uncertainty, but this was not a day to wrestle my fate. This was a day to face the family and loved ones of my innocent victim, Mr. Hort Kap. I remember getting ready, the whole time imagining this day from their perspective. How would I feel facing the man who killed my father, brother, uncle, friend, or grandfather?

My heart was heavy as I rode to court that day, not preoccupied with what the prosecutor, judge, or public thought about me, but solely focused on the Kap family—their pain, their loss, and what they thought of me. And although I entered the courtroom knowing that in a mat-ter of hours, I would be riding to prison, my new home for the next fi ve, maybe 10 years, my mind was far from the calendar. The prospect of serving my time actually provided momentary relief, even if it was a mere grain of redemption buried beneath mountains of devastation—all caused by me. But it was a chance for me to begin to give back, trusting God’s promise to “work all things

together for good, for those who love God, and who are called according to His purpose.” (Rom 8:28)

Nothing can bring Mr. Kap back, and nothing will ever diminish the unrelenting throb of a broken heart mourn-ing a life senselessly lost. So I can only pray for healing and do my best to honor the life of the man I killed when I chose to drink and drive on March 7, 2009. I may very well deserve to sit alone in a prison cell for one million years, and if that were the case, I would still have that

one hug, that one measure of peace, and that one release date. Knowing I was completely to blame for someone’s death is my life sentence, and whether caged or free, that disgusting feeling will haunt me always.

I understand why nothing will ever be good enough for a million critics, and for that I am sorry. But I also know that when all is said and done, there is only One I must answer to—One judge, and One God—and where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty—whether caged,

or free.People still ask me for my release date, and my answer

will always be Jan. 7, 2010—my true release date—granted in the form of an undeserved hug of forgiveness from Kap’s oldest son, Noun. Jan. 7, 2010 will always be the day that one hug removed the weight of the world from my shoulders, and eased the burden I planned to

I am humbled to have this release date; one million blogs will never be able to proclaim the peace granted through just one hug. God’s grace to my case: one mil-lion to one!

As summer continued, so did the tales of the taggers. Many days were fi lled with familiar faces, excited steps of children and of course avoidance of newcomers. Questions including, “Wasn’t the summer almost over? beach tags are still required? how much for the day?” were expressed from many unfamiliar faces.

One tagger, who thought that she had seen it all throughout the summer, was surprised when a very unhappy beachgoer confi scated her chair and threw it in the dunes. Along with the negatives, came the positives of many invitations for end of the summer beach gatherings, “sit

and take a rest, you have been walking these beaches all summer!” Thoughts of a wonderful summer coming to an end fi lled many conversations.

Threats of the hurricane Irene, a manda-tory evacuation, and lost days at the shore ended the summer with an increased ap-preciation of what a day on the beach is really worth. The last two weekends on duty for the taggers brought a whole new tone for their tales. The storm had been kind to their homes and beaches, thoughts of school, winter, and snow returned to their minds and now the unanimous consensus was that a day on the beach was priceless!

Taggers TalesTo The Editor:

Even when I was an impressionable high scholar being programmed that FDR was one of the greatest presidents who ever lived, something didn’t make sense to me: if he handled the Depression so well, why did it never improve over his reign? I understand now, having done research independently of the schools, and upon understanding honest history, everything else makes far more sense. I didn’t want to accept much of this information at fi rst, being taught contrary information and hearing so much Roosevelt nostalgia from seasoned citizens who revere him as if he can do no wrong. Yet, all this information is the product of my research, which I encourage skeptics to discover and confi rm.

The following 10 facts they don’t teach about FDR: (If you learned three or more in school, I’m impressed.)

1) FDR hired 77 known communists to work in his administration.

2) Until WWII, Roosevelt was a huge fan of Mussolini and his fascist approach to government, and was not afraid to express it.

3) FDR made it illegal to own gold coins and many other forms of gold, and confi scated Americans’ gold possessions. This brought America off the gold standard and widened the Depression.

4) FDR ordered 2 million pigs killed against the will of farmers, to artifi cially infl ate the price of meat.

5) Every government job FDR created cost 2.2 private sector jobs, the same rate of Obama’s policies.

6) Roosevelt raised taxes on all income above $200,000

Ten Things You Didn’t Know About FDRto a staggering rate of 90 percent! Karl Marx would be proud.

7) When federal courts blocked several of Roosevelt’s attempts to violate the U.S. Constitution, he attempted to stack the courts with anti-constitutionalist activists to the Supreme Court until there would have been an unprecedented 15 justices, and enough sympathetic to his ends to allow him to circumvent the law.

8) After the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, FDR rounded up innocent Americans of Japanese descent and forced them into America’s own concentrations camps for years. The only other president to use internment camps was Woodrow Wilson. Upon their release, no evidence of subversion or disloyalty was ever found in a single captive.

9) The Depression never ended under Roosevelt’s four terms. Contrary to this, it worsened and persisted well beyond the rest of the world’s recovery, his socialist poli-cies having done lasting damage to America’s economy.

10) In the 1940s, Roosevelt directed his progressive allies in academia to rewrite history books to portray his disastrous policies and human rights violations in a good light, which is why we hear little to none of this in history classes.

These facts are readily available to those who are not afraid to challenge what they’ve been told. Always trust your own homework, and never accept anything at face value without discovering for yourself.

MICHAEL TOURETTEWildwood

To The Editor:

On Sept. 19 at a media gathering in the Rose Garden of the White House, President Barack Obama responded to the growing popularity of special interest pledges by some freshman members of the Congress by asserting that the constitutional oath of offi ce is uppermost for elected offi cials in the United States, saying, “the last time I checked, the only pledge that really matters is the pledge we take to uphold the Constitution.”

Eleven days later Americans heard the breaking news that United States forces in Yemen had killed the recently installed leader of al-Qaeda, Anwar Al-Awlaki. Americans everywhere celebrated this covert activity of our govern-ment making Americans safer and confi rming that we are winning the war on terrorism.

But Ron Paul, the “champion of the Constitution” cut short the jubilant celebration for some of us when he pointed out that Al-Awlaki was an American. An American who was protected under the Constitution of the United States. An American who was entitled to a “speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury...and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation...to be confronted with witnesses against him...(and) have compulsory process witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.”

I don’t agree with Al-Awlaki’s political positions and methods just like I didn’t agree with Timothy McVeigh’s political positions and methods. However, the rule of law was applied in the case of Timothy McVey and he was granted his constitutional rights which concluded in a public trial by his peers resulting in a guilty verdict and his execution.

I later watched the news footage of Obama praising the killing of New Mexico native Anwar Al-Awlaki noting this as a “major blow” against al-Qaeda. Obama continued saying, “This is further proof that al-Qaeda and its affi liates

Al-Awlaki was an American Citizenwill fi nd no safe haven anywhere in the world.”

As I sipped my coffee I thought about the president’s Rose Garden scolding of some elected offi cials 11 days earlier. It is ironic that his words about pledges to uphold the constitution only matter sometimes such as when they serve to achieve a political agenda.

Plenty of people including the elected and those who elect them, Republicans, Democrats and Independents, will agree with the president about the killing of American citizen Anwar Al-Awlaki.

This time I agree with Ron Paul and I believe that if this disregard for the United States Constitution contin-ues that American citizens will soon fi nd no safe haven anywhere in the United States.

EDWARD REEVESWest Cape May

What Price! Folly!To The Editor:

America has changed in many ways through the years, now we have a new sport named “Kill the Quarterback.” A quote from one of the pre-game commentators in re-gards to San Francisco vs. Eagles game.

Just a couple of weeks ago, an opposing player, after already being called out, deliberately ran into the catcher with great force with a high chop block with his elbow to his shoulder, sending the catcher to the ground hoping he would drop the ball, regardless of the consequences of possibly injuring him. No penalty or fi ne.

I really have enjoyed being an avid Eagles fan since 1948, when they won the championship 6-0 during a blizzard. I also enjoyed the Phillies (Whiz Kids) since 1950 when they won the pennant. I went to Shibe Park 17 times that season, and never witnessed such physical abuse like this.

My concern is the message we’re giving to our youth at a very young age as they play soccer and Little League baseball and so forth. I guess winning is all about money, like everything else in this country today.

So much for sportsmanship.

MARY LOU MATTERARio Grande

To The Editor:

The last time I wrote was three years ago, warning that if Obama were elected, he would take this country on a forced march down the road to socialism. How is it going so far?

A Sept. 28 letter by Robert Post personi-fi es the very ignorance he alleges against the editor. First, the stimulus bill was not diluted by Republicans; it was diluted by Obama who used the proceeds to replen-ish state budgets to keep state government workers employed and the union dues cof-fers stuffed for transfer back to Democratic politicians as campaign contributions. The “shovel ready” jobs which the funds were supposed to be used for were “not as shovel ready as we thought” according to Obama. Further, about $200 billion of the stimulus remains unspent and under the control of the Obama Administration. If the economy is to be “stimulated” by Keynesian spending, then Obama ain’t doing much stimulatin.’

Secondly, Post completely ignores the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977. Re-member that one? No? Well, Jimmy Carter thought the banks were “redlining,” i.e., not lending to inner city residents who lived inside an imaginary red line. The black community jumped on that and claimed racism when in fact it was a deci-sion to not lend money to people who had no way of ever paying it back. Then Fannie

Mae and Freddie Mac were created and Clinton pushed for and got a re-write of the regulations. All that resulted in banks be-ing required to change their lending portfo-lios to include at least a 50 percent lending ratio of low-income borrowers. Under the new criteria, food stamps and child support had to be counted as income, as opposed to a real job with a weekly paycheck. If the banks complained, they were threatened with audits by the Treasury Department. If that did not do it, then Obama would repeat his community organizer activities and have Service Employees International Union picket the local bank branch. None of this is made up.

Deduction applies only to millionaires or billionaires. The stimulus bill did not cut anyone’s taxes; instead, it continued the tax rates that had been in existence for the last 11 years. And as for “most economists agree that absent the stimulus, the economy would be even worse...,” Post must be referring to Paul Krugman, the thoroughly discredited economist from the New York Times.

We will be free of the current economic disaster when Obamacare, Todd-Frank, the czars, and the spending addictions of the current administration are repealed, fi red and ended, and we all know how to accomplish that.

ing council comments, our Ward 1 representative, Tom Conrad stated, “I don’t think the public should see the contracts, we were elected to do a job, let’s just do it.” To which, Deputy Mayor Kevin Lare stated, “I agree.” The union representatives of Tom Will, Bud Bailey and his wife Sue, and Deb Johns all made various statements about the “chaos” it would cause if the public were aware of the details and could comment prior to fi nal vote.

One even threatened to fi le an unfair labor practice lawsuit if this was to occur. One representative stated, “Do you want me to fi ll this room with our people, be-cause we can and will.” After this display, Deputy Mayor Lare, Councilmen Conrad and Douglass all voted against allowing the public knowing the details of the contracts prior to their fi nal vote. Mayor Beck voted to allow the public to see them and Councilman Simonsen abstained from voting as it was not on the agenda and he was still checking into the proposal.

In his editorial, Art Hall says these union actions were to pressure council. This is true, but it equally serves to intimidate and silence the general public, which is the answer to union representative, Deb Johns question, “If the taxpayers are so concerned about what’s in the contracts, where are they?”

My question is, when did the Lower Township taxpay-ers become so rich they don’t care how much their taxes go up? Enough said.
