First District’s Albano Leading the Way

Odds Improve for AC Casino Sports Betting By JOE HART

TRENTON –– First District legislators are among a group leading the effort to allow sports betting in Atlantic City casinos.

The bill, sponsored by Assemblyman Nelson Albano (D-1st) and two others, is aimed at help-

ing the city’s casinos, which saw revenues drop 6 percent in 2007 to $4.9 billion. That was the fi rst year revenues decreased since casinos opened in 1978.

Atlantic City casinos are losing visitors from Pennsylvania as that state recently opened several slot parlors of its own.

In a Jan. 24 press release, Albano noted other challenges.

“There are multiple dividends for New Jersey if sports gambling were to be provided at Atlantic City casinos,” he said. “With the Super Bowl days away, Atlantic City casinos are

Middle Offi cerArrested onChild SexualAssault Charge

COURT HOUSE — Cape May County Pros-ecutor Robert L. Taylor and Middle Township Police Chief Joseph Evangelista announced the arrest Jan. 25 of Walter Krych, 53, of Court House.

Krych is a veteran Middle Township police patrol offi cer. He was ar-rested and charged with two counts of sexual as-sault and endangering the welfare of a child; both are crimes of the second degree.

The charges specify that Krych committed a sexual assault on a minor female, who was reportedly 11 years old at the time of the incidents. Those incidents were just reported.

According to Taylor, the arrest resulted from an investigation conducted by members of the county Prosecutor’s Offi ce, Child Abuse Unit and the Middle Township Police Department Major Crimes Unit. Taylor told the Herald Monday he could not release any further details about the investigation.

Avalon Lays OffPublic WorksEmployees

By LESLIE TRULUCK

AVALON — The result of council’s decision to hire two outside contractors to perform land-scaping work over a one-year contract will lay off eight public works employees.

Council President Joseph Tipping said hiring the private contractors could save taxpayers $300,000, near half of the public department’s bid of $645,664.

Council resolved that Bayshore Landscap-ing Inc and Meadowview Landscaping LLC would perform the work at a combined cost of $338,069 at the regular meeting Jan. 23.

“It’s a very difficult decision because it affects many lives and families,” Business Administrator Andrew Bednarek said.

The contract was approved 4-0 with Richard Dean abstaining because his niece’s son is

Sen. Jeff Van Drew (D-1st), Assemblyman Nicholas Albano (D-1st), Assemblyman Mat-thew Milam (D-1st), and County Prosecutor

County Starting Over WithSchellenger Farm Lease Bids

By SUSAN KRYSIAK AVEDISSIAN

FISHING CREEK — The county Division of Open Space and Farmland Preservation is preparing a new bid package for a long-term agricultural lease on the 88-acre, county-owned property known as Schellenger Farm, after rejecting two bids in September, 2007, one from Cape May Winery and the other from the New Jersey Audubon Society.

The New Jersey Audubon Society’s bid of $2,816 per year came in at almost twice that of the winery’s bid at $1,761 per year.

The bid package was for a 25-year lease, from 2008 to 2033. Bids were opened on Sept. 26, 2007.

The Schellenger Farm is located on Taber-nacle Road near Fishing Creek Road here.

Barbara Ernst, director, said the division is now requiring bidders add a business plan to their proposals owing to the long-term nature of the lease.

“When the bids submitted were open, we felt that the two bids submitted did not ad-dress an economic plan or a business plan for

the long term agricultural production on this farm,” said Ernst.

A business plan was not part of the original bid specifi cations.

According to the county resolution rejecting the bids, the county “has determined that the specifi cations for the long-term lease of the property were insuffi cient and require sub-stantial modifi cation in order to fully achieve the county’s intention to ensure the active agricultural use of the property.”

Port ions of the property, about 10 acres or more, are wet habitat for endan-gered species includ-ing the endangered tiger salamander and

southern gray tree frog. The farm is one of only 12 in the state where the DEP knows tiger salamanders exist.

The wetter portions will not be considered for farming without pre-approval from the state Department of Environmental Protection and the county, according to the original bid specifi cations.

Environmentalists expressed disappoint-

Grossman, Lonegan, Won’t Be Prosecuted

Charges Dropped Against ProtestersBy JOE HART

COURT HOUSE –– Mid-dle Township Municipal Court Judge Peter Tourison dropped trespassing charg-es against two protesters after township officials and the board of education apologized for the arrests.

At Gov. Jon S. Corzine’s Jan. 19 town hall meeting at the Middle Township Performing Arts Center, former Bogota Mayor Steve Lonegan and Somers Point attorney Seth Grossman were arrested for attempt-ing to bring signs opposing the governor’s toll plan into the facility despite posted warnings, which read, “No bags, gifts, backpacks or signs allowed inside. Thank you.”

Township Prosecutor Mary D’Arcy Bittner asked Tourison to drop the charg-es Monday citing the re-quests from the township and school board.

“If they won’t proceed, we don’t have a case,” she said. She also noted that there wasn’t enough proof against the protesters to prove trespass.

Grossman, 58, acting president of the govern-mental protest group Liber-ty and Prosperity of Somers Point was asked repeatedly by Middle Township police to display his signs in a designate protesting area, but refused.

Footage of Grossman’s arrest is available on the Herald’s Web site at www.capemaycountyherald.com.

Lonegan, 51, was ar-rested under similar cir-cumstances.

The incidents have caused a major fallout lo-cally as well as statewide.

On Jan. 23, the town-ship and its board of edu-cation apologized to the protestors saying that the township and the school board have policies to “per-mit, support and encour-age the exercise of First Amendment rights by all who use its public facili-ties…provided such public use does not interfere with the operation of the school or school functions.”

The apology said the men “were engaging in constitutionally protected action” and the boards would “urge that the mu-nicipal prosecutor admin-istratively dismiss these charges and not require Lonegan or Grossman to appear in any court.”

Atlantic County offi cials have asked the governor’s offi ce to allow demonstra-tion at their town hall meeting planned for Feb. 7 at the Atlantic Cape Com-munity College campus in Mays Landing.

In response to accusa-tions that he went to the meeting to get arrested and call attention to his group’s agenda, Grossman wrote a letter to the editor of the Gazette newspapers for which he regularly contributes.

“I didn’t go to the Middle Township High School last Saturday to get arrested or

to get on TV. I didn’t even go to protest,” he wrote.

Grossman’s group be-lieves much of the state’s $30-billion debt is uncon-stitutional and taxpayers shouldn’t have to pay it.

“Our group attempted to display our signs and hand out our ‘fact sheets’ on the sidewalk by the parking lot, far from the au-ditorium. But more than a dozen police offi cers were there to stop us.”

Middle Township police have said that they were acting under direction from the State Police not to allow certain items into the auditorium.

State Police Public In-formation Offi cer Capt. Al Della Fave told the Herald Monday a review of the pre-briefi ng between state police and Middle Town-ship police was underway, but nothing had yet been determined.

“Typically we (State Po-lice) recommend that signs not be allowed inside a venue because they can block the view of those seated behind the sign carriers,” Della Fave said. “The sticks can also be used as weapons.”

Andrew Poag, deputy press secretary for Corzine, agreed.

“The reason he’s (Cor-zine) holding meetings in all 21 counties is he wants to talk to the public about the proposal and hear from all the people including the detractors and including the people who support his

proposal. One of the things they’ve done is set the ground rules for the public forum; we just ask people not to bring signs in so they don’t block people’s view. But they’re free to express themselves by asking a question just like anyone else who comes in.”

Lonegan is calling for an independent investigation into the arrests. He said that he is being targeted by the administration due to his vocal opposition to the governor’s plans.

The governor’s offi ce has denied being involved in the arrests.

At the town hall stop in Voorhees Monday night, an electric sign declared that no signs were allowed inside the auditorium, and local police set up a staging area for opponents near the entrance, according to a report from the Newark Star Ledger.

Tipping Is New League PresidentBy AL CAMPBELL

WOODBINE — Avalon Council President Joseph Tipping added another title Jan. 22: President of the Cape May County League of Municipalities.

Tipping was sworn to his new post by Sen. Jeff Van Drew (D-1st) at the begin-ning of the meeting held at Dionysus Restaurant on Washington Avenue.

Other offi cers who will assist Tipping throughout the year will be First Vice President Dennis Crippen, of Dennis Township, Sec-ond Vice President William Davenport of Wildwood, Treasurer Carl Schupp of Cape May Point and, for her 28th year, Secretary Bonnie Carlson.

Frank McCall, county emergency management

director, addressed the group on a $632,000 FEMA Pre-disaster Mitiga-tion Planning Grant that will touch all municipali-ties in the county, which has been deemed one of the nation's sixth "most diffi cult place to deal with in a hurricane," according to McCall.

McCall said meeting will be held with all local officials and emergency managers to fully explain the program which is ad-ministered through FEMA and the state.

McCall also announced that the freeholders had awarded a consolidated communications award for the public safety answer-ing point to V-Comm.

He said local fi refi ghters and emergency medical workers would be trav-

eling to the Gloucester County communication center to see how it works

in order to get a better understanding of the local operation.

the Basic Course for Police Offi cers is telling of what the 34 police recruits achieved in training and what it took to follow the path of brethren police offi cers before them, as well as what it takes to step forward into a demanding, sometimes dangerous, but rewarding life of public service.

Thirty-three recruits graduated the Basic Course for Police Offi cers at the Middle Township Performing Arts Center here Jan. 24 at 4 p.m.

Director of the Police Academy Gary Schaffer told recruits, who hail from all over New Jersey, that many of the original class of 42 arrived to the academy Aug. 27 not knowing what training is all about, but learned very quickly how intense the experience would be.

“It’s been a long, challenging road for the remaining 34 recruits,” he said.

The Performing Arts Center was fi lled with hundreds of family and friends in support of loved ones who took their oath as a class and one by one received their Police Training Commission Medallion.

The achievements of the class as a whole, are impres-sive:

• Physical fi tness average from 70.96 percent to 92.81 percent;

• Body fat percentage from 21.96 percent to 13.8 percent;

• 99 pounds total lost, and 99 inches lost from their waists;

• The class fi nal academic average was 92.68 percent, and the class fi rearm average was 93.3 percent, the high-est class average to date.

Some recruits received special recognition for outstand-ing achievement in various categories:

• High Academic Award: Patrick Abello, Alternate Route, 97.15

• Vehicle Operations Award: Offi cer John C. Elwell, Wildwood, 26.34 seconds

• Physical Fitness Award: Stephen Vogt, Alternate Route, 99.5 percent

• Firearms Award: Mitchell Levin, Alternate Route, 100 percent

• Director’s Award: Overall Class Ranking No. 1, Mitchell Levin, Alternate Route

• Police Training Commission Merit Award (an-nounced at graduation): John Elwell, Wildwood Police Department.

U.S. Marshal James Ploussis was keynote speaker and told recruits that 9/11 made it crystal clear that to effectively fi ght the war on terror good communication

Three of the 9/11 hijackers, he reminded recruits and their families, had had some form of prior police contact; Ploussis expressed regret that better communication between law enforcement had not worked well enough to prevent 9/11. Nevertheless, he told the audience, America is “safer now than before” the attacks.

He relayed the story of the “Fort Dix 5,” whose alleged plan with a sixth suspect to attack Fort Dix was foiled when a store owner in Cherry Hill last year alerted local police, who in turn alerted federal law enforcement, about a suspicious videotape dropped off for processing to DVD, which depicted military-style training exercises and Iraqui war soldiers.

“Tips I assure you as they come in are run down,” Ploussis said.

Ploussis issued a challenge to recruits to maintain the excitement they feel as they graduate.

“Please keep that enthuisiasm for the next 30 years,” he said. “You have to bring that same enthusiasm to the job every day.”

Ploussis called the Cape May County Police Training Academy the “best in the state.”

“I’d like to congratulate the academy for putting out the fi nest recruits in New Jersey,” he said.

There are 3.85 million cases of chronic heel pain in the United States, costing healthcare $2.29 billion.

Now a new 20-minute non-surgical procedure, offered by Dr. Charles Birk, can alleviate chronic heel pain (plantar facsiitis).

Dr. Birk has offi ces in Cape May Court House and in Beesleys Point and is specially trained to of-

fer this new treatment for heel pain.

Plantar facsiitis results from infl ammation of the connective tissue that stretches from the base of the toes, across the arch of the foot, to the point at which it inserts into the heel.

The condition can usually be successfully treated with conservative therapies such as the use of anti-infl amma-tory medications, ice packs, stretching exercises, or-thotic devices, night splints, cortisone injections and physical therapy.

If the condition does not

clear up after six months of treatment, shockwave therapy (ESWT) may be considered.

As with any procedure, complications may arise, but less than 1 percent of the cases during the FDA clini-cal trials of ESWT reported some mild complication, like bruising of the skin, swelling, and/or numbness or tingling.

(ARA) — Every January, research fi rms release their predictions on trends for the coming year.

From the top 10 retail trends for 2008 to the latest technology trends, these reports share one central theme: change is constant and there’s no way to avoid it.

Change is inevitable and unfortunately, dealing with this reality isn’t easy for everyone.

However, those people who do adapt and embrace change are more likely to achieve their goals and dreams.

In order to help others lead a more meaningful life, several award-winning authors and regular con-tributors to www.yesyou-canonline.info are sharing insights on how to accept and cope with change.

According to Jack Jona-than and Sheelagh Man-heim Ph.D., authors of “Yes, You Can… Find More Meaning In Your Life,” and Jim Stowers, author of the soon-to-be-published “Yes, You Can… Reach Your Goals and Achieve Your Dreams,” the desire to maintain the status quo causes some people to fi ght against change and the uncertainty it brings.

Yet, one of the great ad-vantages of the human race is the ability to adapt and prepare for change.

“It’s common to resist change,” says Jonathan. “Staying with what’s com-fortable and familiar keeps us connected to our past.

“But we shouldn’t lose sight of the exciting op-portunities for growth and new experiences that change brings. Being open to new ideas is one impor-tant ingredient for living a meaningful life and achiev-ing our goals.”

Making a change is often a leap of faith — a risk. The best method for achieving success with this inevitable change, according to Jona-than and Manheim, is to properly prepare for it.

The following seven steps provide suggestions on ways to open your mind to change.

1. Collect facts about what is changing.

How will making this change affect you? What is

the ultimate outcome that will make you happiest?

2. Evaluate the risks.What can go wrong by

making this change? How can you be negatively af-fected? What’s the worst-case scenario?

3. Decide how you will deal with the risks.

Once you’ve identifi ed the risks, fi gure out a solu-tion for each one.

4. Make a commitment to persevere.

Consider writing down your commitment to change, such as a contract you are making with yourself. Keep it in a location where you will see it regularly to re-mind yourself.

5. Defi ne the small steps that will help you reach your goal.

View the change as a se-ries of small steps instead of one large one. This attitude will help you achieve many milestones and will give you a positive attitude.

6. Reevaluate the prog-ress you have made.

Be flexible along the way and make adjustments that you’ll need to ensure success, and achieve your

leg veins in millions of Americans.

Many people without risk factors may also suffer from the symptoms and appearance of varicose and spider veins.

In the past, treatment frequently required painful vein stripping surgery, or the long-term use of com-pression stockings.

Don’t suffer with Varicose Veins and Leg PainFortunately, new tech-

nology and advances in treatment now allow for the relief of these conditions without vein stripping or hospitalization.

One technique, called the Closure Procedure, uses radio-frequency (RF) energy to seal the diseased vein closed and re-route blood into normal veins.

“Exciting new develop-ments in vein care have dramatically changed the way that we treat patients with varicose

veins and their symptoms...”

Dr. Jeffrey Gosin, a vas-cular surgeon with Jersey Shore Center for Vascular Health and Comprehensive Vein Care Center in Somers Point states, “Exciting new developments in vein care have dramatically changed the way that we treat pa-tients with varicose veins and their symptoms. Most patients can now be treated

with minimally invasive procedures, without inci-sions, right in the offi ce.

“The beauty of this approach is that there is usually minimal discomfort, recovery is fast, and results have been excellent. Also, the offi ce setting is very con-venient and comfortable for our patients.”

Individuals with vari-cose veins, or who think they are experiencing the symptoms of venous insuf-ficiency, should contact

a vascular surgeon who specializes in vein care. Various treatment options may be available.

Call 609-927-3030.

DR. JEFFREY GOSIN

Risk factors for varicose veins include occupations that require standing, fam-ily history of varicose veins, pregnancy, and increasing age.

Varicose veins, and their underlying etiol-ogy—known as venous insuffi ciency--are common causes of leg discomfort, swelling, and unsightly

(ARA) — While politi-cians, pundits, employers, workers — and even in-surers — agree something needs to be done about the cost of health insurance, it’s hard to fi nd a common voice on just what that something should be.

A growing number of employers and workers, however, feel they have found at least part of the solution, in the form of Health Savings Accounts or HSAs.

“In its 2007 Employer Health Benefi ts Survey, the Kaiser Family Foundation reports that since 2001, premiums for family health coverage have soared 78 percent,” says Stephen Neeleman, CEO and found-er of HealthEquity, Inc., a company that provides health savings plans.

“By contrast, the survey also reports that wages have risen just 19 percent and in-fl ation just 17 percent over the same period. Clearly,

this is unbalanced and not sustainable.”

Health Savings Accounts offer employers and workers a tool for cutting premium costs but not coverage, Neeleman says. “At the same time, the accounts put control of health care deci-sions — and costs — back in the hands of workers.”

How does an HSA work?

“Like a fl ex plan (FSA), but far better,” Neeleman says.

The high points of Health Savings Accounts include:

• Workers sign on for a lower premium health plan that has a higher deductible for major events, typically free preventive care, and competitive discounts for fi rst dollar care.

The money saved on premiums goes into a tax-advantaged investment account that the employee can draw on to pay for covered qualifi ed medical expenses.

• Both employers and employees can contribute to the account, but the money is ultimately controlled by the employee, who does not need the employer’s or insurer’s approval to draw on the account for qualifi ed expenses.

• Unlike FSAs that are “use it or lose it,” funds in Health Savings Accounts carry over from year to year.

Because of this ability to carry over funds, it is possible to build a substan-tial account over multiple years.

Meanwhile, you can build the account tax-free by investing the money in a variety of investing vehicles, including mutual funds.

• The account is not

owned by your employer.If you leave your job, you

still retain ownership of the account and can continue to use and contribute to it.

• Yearly contribution limits for 2008 are $2,900 for individuals and $5,800 for families.

Rates are subject to change every year and are adjusted for infl ation. Consumers that are 55 years or older can put ad-ditional contributions into the account.

There is no cap on how much you can carry over from year to year, or earn through investment of the money.

Health Savings Accounts are not just for the wealthy or the healthy either.

John Sweeney, Heal-thEquity’s vice president of marketing, has type 1 diabetes.

Before joining the com-pany and adopting a Health Savings Account/low-pre-mium insurance plan, he was covered under a traditional plan — that would not pay $1,000 for a much-needed accessory for the insulin pump Sweeney used on a daily basis.

He decided not to buy the accessory, which would have reported his blood sugar levels to the insulin pump every fi ve minutes.

After starting a health savings plan, however, he quickly accumulated the money needed for the pump, and changed his mind about buying it.

“Not only have I ben-efi ted fi nancially from the Health Savings Account, I’m healthier because of it,” he says.

The new Disabled Ameri-can Veterans (D.A.V.) van will transport Southern New Jersey veterans only.

The van will operate Mon. through Thurs., and advance notice is required.

This is a service, not an entitlement, so trips depend

There is no door-to-door service (except for the legally blind).

The veteran must be sure the appointment is appro-priately scheduled, and is responsible for getting to the van pick-up location at D.A.V. Post 44, 1010 Bay-shore Rd., Del Haven.

(MS) — According to the Congressional Bud-get Offi ce, premiums for medical malpractice rose by an average of 15 per-cent between 2000 and 2002. And that number is just an average, with some regions experiencing a much sharper increase than others.

For example, a county in Florida experienced a surgeon premium increase of 75 percent. Such facts can infl uence current stu-dents considering careers

Rising Malpractice Claimsin medicine from join-ing the fi eld, or infl uence which fi eld of medicine they join.

What could this mean? Specifi c areas with high malpractice premiums could very well become underserved in future years, as surgeons may seek work elsewhere to avoid harsh premiums.

SHEDDING SOME LIGHT ON CROWN LENGTHENINGThe periodontal procedure known as

“crown lengthening” involves reshaping gum tissue and/or bone so that there is more tooth structure available above the gum line to accept a fi lling or crown. This procedure may be made necessary when a tooth breaks off at the gum line or an existing crown requires replacement. Crown lengthening may also be recommended in cases where a so-called “gummy smile” renders it aesthetically advisable to remove excess gum tissue. For whatever reason crown lengthening is undertaken, the use of a laser helps to minimize bleeding and promote faster healing. In some cases, the use of a laser in periodontal procedures may eliminate the need for anesthesia and sutures.

Whether you have crown lengthening to improve function or esthetics, patients often receive the benefi ts of both: a beautiful new smile and improved periodontal health - your keys to smiling, eating and speaking with comfort and confi dence. Periodontal procedures are

CAN ARTHRITISAFFECT THE EYES?

While rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune dis-ease that is primarily associated with joint infl am-mation, it can also cause problems in other areas of the body as well. In terms of rheumatoid arthritis affecting the eyes, sufferers have been known to experience dry eyes and infl ammation of the inner part of the eye (uveitis). In addition, there may be infl ammation of the episclera (episcleritis), the sur-face membrane covering the white part (sclera) of the eye, and infl ammation of the sclera (scleritis). These are all problems that the ophthalmologist can diagnose. As far as treatment is concerned, dry eyes may be helped with artifi cial tears, while treatment of uveitis, episcleritis and scleritis may include cor-ticosteroid eye drops and anti-infl ammatory medica-tions. Even though many treatments for dry eyes are available without a prescription, it’s wise to see a health care professional to evaluate the cause of the condition and to help you pick the best treatment. The most important thing you can do to preserve your eyesight is to visit ATLANTIC EYE CEN-TER and EYE MAX LASIK CENTER for regular checkups. We are currently accepting new patients. For expert eye care, please call us to schedule an appointment. We accept most insurance, including Medicare and Medicaid.

Please send your questions or comments to my offi ce or email me at: [email protected]

P.S. Dry eyes can also be a symptom of Sjogren’s syndrome, which is an autoimmune disorder of-ten associated with rheumatoid arthritis.

(ARA) — Every parent knows one child’s sniffl es can spread to the whole family, leading to missed work and school days.

But as important as help-ing reduce the spread of germs can be, mom’s time is also precious. Here are fi ve key steps to help save time and help protect your family.

A little common sense can go a long way in keeping homes healthier.

Moms don’t need to go overboard, but it is crucial to be aware of certain germs like E. coli and Salmonella, which should be eliminated since they can be especially harmful to young children with developing immune systems.

“Like other moms, I feel the push and pull of wanting to keep my home healthier

but having little time to do anything about it,” says Dr. Kelly Reynolds, mom and microbiologist from the University of Arizona.

“We can all have a little more peace of mind by tak-ing just fi ve simple steps for preventing exposure to viruses that cause colds and the fl u that can help families now — and all year-round.”

Step 1: Wash hands.The first step is one

you’ve heard time and again from your own mom — wash your hands!

Only half of people actu-ally wash their hands after using the restroom and even those who do wash don’t usually do it the right way.

Plus, cold and flu vi-ruses can survive for up to 72 hours on workplace surfaces.

Wash hands the right way by scrubbing 20 to 30 seconds every time you wash and dry them completely, because odds are you’ll meet people who don’t.

Just a few seconds now could save you a whole day or more in bed.

As for the tots, children touch more than 300 sur-faces every 30 minutes, giving them lots of opportu-nities to pick up germs.

Establish some general hand washing rules for kids such as washing hands after a play date, before meals, after visiting the restroom, after playground time and after coming home from school.

Dr. Reynolds studied common surfaces and found almost 75 percent of play-ground surfaces failed her

hygiene test.Once germs get on those

little fi ngers, they can be easily passed on to the mouth, nose and eyes. Make sure kids wash the right way too by singing the “happy birthday” song twice while they scrub.

Also afterwards, make sure they dry their hands completely as wet hands transmit germs more effi -ciently than dryer hands.

Step 2: Follow healthy habits.

You know all the good reasons to get enough sleep, eat right and exercise regu-larly. But all these healthy choices can also boost your immunity, making you less susceptible to cold and fl u viruses and other germs.

Make sure these healthy choices become healthy habits for the whole fam-ily.

Step 3: Get a fl u shot.The fl u vaccine is the best

way to prevent the spread of the fl u, according to Dr. Reynolds.

Follow the Centers for Disease Control and Pre-vention (CDC) guidelines for fl u shots —all children six months to fi ve years old, as well as their caregivers and household contacts (that means you!) should get vaccinated.

And it’s not too late! Experts say you have until January or even later to still get vaccinated.

A new report by the CDC shows only a small fraction of the children who need to get a fl u vaccination actually get one.

Step 4: Disinfect germ hot spots.

Focusing on high-risk germ havens saves you time while reducing exposure to germs that could make your family sick.

Germ hot spots include frequently touched surfaces like doorknobs, kitchen counters, toilet fl ushers, light switches, TV remote controls, refrigerator han-dles, telephone handsets and children’s toys.

Routinely putting hard plastic toys through the

dishwasher and cloth toys through a hot water cycle in the washing machine will do the trick.

Disinfecting these items and surfaces can help minimize contact with potentially dangerous bugs like E. coli, Salmonella and the viruses that can cause colds and fl u.

“Although you cannot (and would not want to) sterilize your world, I always target high-traffi c germ exposure sites like the kitchen and bathrooms for regular disinfecting,” says Dr. Reynolds.

Remember that cleaning

and disinfecting are not the same thing. Cleaning removes dirt and grime, while disinfecting actually kills bacteria and viruses that can make you sick.

In a home where one child was sick, up to 80 percent of some commonly touched surfaces tested positive for the fl u virus, according to the Journal of Infection.

That is why it is so impor-tant to look for products like disinfectants and sanitizers, especially during cold and fl u season. For even easier disinfecting, try using a disinfecting wipe.

Step 5: Give your wash-ing machine a gargle.

Use bleach once a week in your empty washing machine; it acts as a “mouth-wash” for your washer!

Germs and gunk can build up in your washing machine over time, but an empty cycle with disinfect-ing bleach each week will keep it healthy, just like mouthwash does for your mouth.

Adding disinfecting bleach in laundry also helps disinfect clothes, towels and sheets, which is especially important if someone has been sick at home.

For Peace of Mind, Tackle Germs on Your Terms

dreams.7. Reward yourself for

each accomplishment.Celebrate smaller mile-

stones and keep track of the progress you’ve made.

While the constant ebb and fl ow of change may cause some people to feel anxious or uncertain, Stow-ers believes that those who adapt and prepare for change can use it as one of life’s great motivators.

“A person who can adapt will naturally be more successful with the ups and downs life offers. This makes them more likely to achieve their goals and dreams,” says Stowers.

“Preparing for change is an essential skill that allows us to connect with our family, friends, job and life. It’s also what helps us see that change happens as a challenge. Then, rather than seeing it as something stressful, you can look at it as an opportunity to achieve something unique and fantastic.”

Your mother was right! Washing your hands is the fi rst step in keeping your home healthier and preventing the spread of germs.

City Must Bond $1.9 Million

Wildwood to Repay Morey’s for Tax Overage

By LAUREN SUIT

WILDWOOD — The City Commission voted Jan. 23 to issue the Morey Organization $1.9 million in bonds to repay overpaid taxes on the city’s board-walk piers.

Tax court found the company’s three piers, Adventure Pier, Mariner’s Landing and the former Hunt’s Pier, along with several other properties, were all overvalued fol-lowing the 2005 city-wide revaluation.

Adventure Pier, formerly known as Wild Wheels Pier, was valued at $15.85 million. It is now worth $3.3 million. Mariner’s Landing was worth $28.53 million and now valued at $8.95 million. The former Hunt’s Pier was valued at $8.11 million and is now valued at $1.15 million.

City offi cials said the re-payment and new assessed values would affect the city fi nancially as it prepares for another budget year.

While the repayment ends a dispute stemming from 2005, it has caused a stir among some residents who want the city to look at alternative revenue sources to pay the tax appeal bond,

besides the taxpayers.“This is something that

impacts everyone in the city,” Thomas DiDonato said of the bond and sug-gested that a user fee for the Boardwalk could be the answer.

“With all the folks that use the pier during the summer, it would certainly be easier to assess 1 million people $1, than it will be to burden our ordinary tax-payers for $300 or $400,” said DiDonato.

DiDonato, who operates DiDonato Builders in North Wildwood, told Commis-sioners that, “the piers have the volume of people to spread the cost fairly.”

He added that the user fee would be a way for the governing body to spare the tax rate.

“Please do not go back to the past,” DiDonato said to the mayor and Commis-sioners. “We need to move forward.”

Mayor Ernie Troiano Jr., responded that he didn’t want to see any tax in-creases and that the city is considering different sources to support the budget.

police department. The assaults are alleged to have taken place in Del

Haven on or about July 2002 and in West Cape May on or about November 2002. The assaults did not take place while Krych was on duty as a police offi cer.

Superior Court Judge Nelson Johnson set bail at $50,000 cash. Krych was transported to the Cumber-land County Jail and was released upon satisfaction of bail on Jan. 26, according to court case management personnel.

Persons convicted of a second-degree crime may be incarcerated in the New Jersey State Prison for a period between fi ve and 10 years.

burglarized Jan. 19 quickly notifi ed police. That led to the arrest of two individuals possibly involved in a string of similar incidents. The resident provided a description to the dispatcher, and responding offi cers were able to locate one of the suspects a few blocks away. Subsequent investigation led to the arrest of Joseph Vitola, 20, of the 100-block of Second Avenue, and a 17-year-old juvenile from West Wildwood. Vitola was charged with burglary, theft, property damage and employing a juvenile in the commission of a crime. He was lodged in county jail in lieu of $50,000 cash bail. The juvenile was released to his parent. According to police, additional charges could result pending further investigation by the patrol and detective bureaus, which have linked the suspects to 12 automobile burglaries, two residential burglaries and fi ve acts of graffi ti.

Perillo stated that the appointment of a new police chief is one of the most important decisions he will make.

Do You Have A.H.S. (Anterior Head Syndrome)?How To Correct The Probable Cause Of Your Pain?

My name is Chris Chase, I‘m a chiropractor in Cape May Court House, BUT we do something different. Our practice is focused on the correction of abnormal structure; you CAN NOT get our method of care anywhere else in Cape May County. We all know there is a normal blood pressure, eyesight and temperature, yet most are unaware that there is a normal spinal structure. This abnormal structure is a primary condition that most often leads to secondary symptoms, such as: back pain, headaches and neck pain, and if left uncorrected can lead to chronic debilitating pain.Here’s what you WON’T GET at our practice: • No patch up jobs (only to have the problem return over and over, we are not a crack and go clinic) • No uncertainty (we will give you a comprehensive plan of care with everything spelled out, no wondering what to do)

• No snapping, popping or cracking (Your neck or anything else for that matter) • No “you have to come in for the rest of your life”

….And ABSOLUTELY, if it’s something we don’t handle we will let you know. (And help you find where to go)As you can imagine our focus to correct spinal structure is unique and I realize it is not for everyone. We are not saying that our form of care is better, just different. We have an outstanding record, and I don’t want to put our record in jeopardy. Our reputa-

tion is literally carried on the backs of patients who have given me the privilege of helping them. Care consists of correcting abnormal structure with our instruments, structural rehab and our complementary recommendations that you do on your own to

protect your investment. Look at what one patient has to say: “Thank you, Dr. Chase, and thank you God. After three weeks, three years ago, I have not had a migraine since. I suffered with them for so long. It’s a pleasure now to be on this side of the ground.” BETTE B. ULSEVICH - Cape May

Still not sure, want proof then to see more testimonials, just like the one above?Go to www.ultimatecorrection.com and click on Testimonials.

Our plan of care is determined by what our examination finds, makes sense right? The examination involves 2 digital computer aided photography (same system is used at the Pentagon Clinic), six Structural X-rays (if needed) with specialized Structural Analysis and more than 40 orthopedic and neurological procedures to allow us to be more precise. The exam takes roughly 60-75 minutes. Yes long, but really, it’s worth the extra effort.

To make an appointment, call 465-5358, the prospective patient package fee is $150.00 (Most insurance pay a percentage of this fee) also take $50 OFF, If you bring in a item for our Support The Troops drive (call for the details).

Dissolution Reprieve? Maybe.

New Commissioner Appointed at Lower MUA By JACK FICHTER

VILLAS — Lower Town-ship Mayor Walter Craig spoke of better cooperation from Lower Township Mu-nicipal Utilities Authority (MUA) Jan. 23 but at the same time council appoint-ed a new commissioner to the authority that could change the voting balance of its board of commission-

ers towards dissolution.The term of MUA Com-

missioner Bill Thomas ended and he was replaced with Steve Morey by a vote of council. While Thomas and commissioners Charles Garrison and Tom Wall said they opposed dissolution of the MUA, creating a 3-2 majority over commis-sioners Pete Biting and Tom Brown, that dynamic has now changed with the replacement of Thomas by Morey.

A vote could swing 3-2 for dissolution if the mat-ter arises and Morey cast a positive vote.

Cra i g s a id he had served with Morey on the township’s Recreation Board and Morey was a member of the Optimist Club, County Chamber of Commerce and Society of Wetlands Scientists.

Craig said it would be “premature to come out with a full plan of action,” but a lot of positive com-munication has taken place between council members and the MUA Board of Commissioners.

The MUA holds its annu-al reorganization meeting Feb. 6 in which it renews or changes its professional contracts such as engineer, attorney and auditor. Craig said on Feb. 20, council would invite MUA Com-missioners to attend a work session with council.

He said at that time, council would be prepared to make public some of the dialog and concerns it has had with MUA Commis-sioners and the direction it wants to see the author-ity take.

Craig asked public com-ment about the MUA be held until that meeting. He said he would have a plan of action from the MUA that would be benefi cial to ratepayers and township at the Feb. 20 meeting.

Councilman Thomas Conrad said he had a long conversation with Thomas after the last council meet-ing. Thomas, who has 37 years in experience in wa-ter authorities and govern-ment, predicted he would be replaced at council’s Jan. 7 meeting.

“We may not fully agree on everything but I think we both respect each oth-er’s opinions and the fact we both have similar ideas and I believe things are go-ing to be worked out,” said Conrad of Thomas.

Counc i lman G lenn Douglass said council and the MUA commissioners “have come to a working agreement. He said he was working with the coopera-tion of Craig and Township Manager Joe Jackson, Bit-ting and Brown.

“As has been reported, we are not working to dis-solving and we will move forward and try to make a communication gap go away so we can have open communication with dif-ferent departments in our township,” said Douglass.

Deputy Mayor Rob-ert Nolan said Douglass, Brown, Craig and Bitting put a great deal of effort in hashing out differences and improving communica-tions with the MUA and council.

During public comment, Taxpayers Association of Lower Township Vice Pres-ident Ed Butler said he was troubled by a statement he said Craig made to the press indicating Craig felt

council would have con-trol of the MUA Board of Commissioners following the appointment of a new commissioner.

Craig said he did not believe he made that state-ment.

Counci lman Wayne Mazurek said the MUA was created as a separate entity to keep the MUA somewhat non-political and to keep the fi nances of the utility apart from the township.

Resident Steve Sheftz, a former MUA Commis-sioner, blasted the author-ity for a number of mistakes and oversights. He said while there were “good, hard-working people at the MUA,” he said he was not pleased with the manage-ment.

Sheftz called for quick action in dealing with the MUA. He said some resi-dents had “horrendous” contaminants in their well water and continued to wait for the availability of municipal water.

If residents become ill or die from drinking their well water, the responsibil-ity lies with council, said Sheftz. He said the execu-tive director of the MUA in 1990 promised to have water available to all of Vil-

las within one year.Sheftz said in Feb. 2001,

MUA Commissioners were presented with a fi ve-year plan that would have made municipal water available from one block north of Whaler’s Cove in Town Bank to the northern end of Villas. Connection fees were estimated at $850 to $950, he said.

A water tower promised in 2001 has just been put into service this year, said Sheftz. The MUA failed to approach council since 2001 to apply for an an-nual $400,000 grant for “in ground infrastructure.”

Resident Joe Winters asked Craig if Township Manager Joe Jackson would oversee the MUA.

Craig repeated it would be premature to divulge the nature of discussions with the MUA.

“We can’t tell you what we don’t know is going to happen,” he said.

Winters said he said he had a problem with the township manager “having anything to do with the MUA.”

Craig said it has been agreed upon the MUA needs to seek grants ag-gressively.

Reality Check – January 2008How much do you do know about Energy Drinks?

Energy drinks are all the rage with our youth. They are loaded with caffeine, sugar and herbal stimulants. These chemicals increase alertness, but can also cause your heart to race. Caffeine can have adverse health consequences, and high amounts can lead to a variety of symptoms including irritability, nervousness, insomnia and nausea.

Red Bull and other energy drinks contain about the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee, and twice the amount as a can of Coke. The difference is that a can of Coke has more fl uid ounces, so the caffeine is much more diluted. Another difference is that energy drinks are normally served cold and sold for rapid consumption. When consumed quickly, the body experiences a rapid increase or rush in the caffeine’s effects. That effect is more pronounced than coffee, because coffee is normally served hot and consumed more slowly.

If that isn’t enough, an additional danger is when energy drinks are mixed with alcohol. The caffeine in the energy drink is a stimulant and alcohol is a depressant. Mixing the two is a risky combination. The caffeine can mask the intoxicating effects of the alcohol allowing a person to party longer and to drink more alcohol. The person drinking has a decreased sensation of fatigue and sleepiness from the caffeine, but it does not reduce the harmful effects of alcohol on motor coordination. The result is a very drunk person that does not feel as drunk as he/she actually is. This is extremely dangerous when this person gets behind the wheel of a car.

Buyers must also be aware that energy drinks and the alcoholic energy drinks look very similar. Many store clerks and parents cannot tell which one contains alcohol and which one does not because the packaging isn’t clearly marked. One way to tell is the non-alcohol energy drinks have the nutrition facts on the label. The alcohol drinks do not. Our youth know the difference and know that we do not. Here is a comment from a youth on Facebook:”I am only 18 and I had a six-pack of Sparks (with alcohol) in my room and my mom found it, but she had no idea and thought they were just energy drinks”.

Lower Might Appeal Decision on Rec FieldsBy JACK FICHTER

VILLAS — Lower Town-ship may file an appeal of Superior Court Judge Joseph Visalli’s decision not to reconsider his earlier action rejecting a claim by the township that a multitude of problems at Bennett’s Crossing recre-ational area (Freeman S. Douglass Park) were the fault of the engineer for the project, Van Note-Harvey of Court House.

Lower Township So-licitor Paul Baldini told council Jan. 23 the court lost the paperwork for the initial appeal including the response. The paperwork was created but the judge denied the reconsidera-tion, he said.

Baldini said he has be-gun paperwork for an ap-pellate review, the first step in the appellate court process.

“We go back to the trial level judge and ask him to take another look at it and you point out things you think he could legitimately look at again and perhaps change his opinion,” he said.

During public com-ment, Robert Hartman, a Democratic candidate for council, said despite legal costs, the township should pursue the matter.

“Somebody made some mistakes,” he said. “I really think you have to pursue it.”

Hartman did not blame township offi cials for foul-ups at Bennett Crossing.

Visalli held Van Note-Harvey Associates blame-less for problems that caused large cost overruns for Bennett’s Crossing.

Last year, Van Note-Har-vey’s attorney Robert Ken-ney argued the township missed a deadline to fi le an affi davit from another engi-neering fi rm showing the work at Bennett’s Crossing did not meet professional standards.

The playing fi elds fl ooded following rainfall.

The township called Van

Note-Harvey’s work grossly negligent. The township argued it fi led reports from its contracted engineering fi rm, Remington Vernick, within a state deadline.

Visalli’s first decision noted there was insuffi-cient evidence in Reming-ton Vernick’s reports to in-dicate that state standards were violated. He also did not award attorney fees or court costs to either party.

The township fi led suits against both Van Note-Harvey and the contractor for the project, Fondacaro Construction of Hammon-ton.

The engineering firm of Albrecht and Heun, of Court House, was hired by the township at a cost of

nearly $600,000 to regrade the playing fi elds with ad-ditional soil and solve the fl ooding problems.

By the summer o f 2006, the recreational complex was $500,000 over budget and a year behind schedule. At that time, the township fi led a claim against the bonding company for Fondacaro Construction, which fi led for bankruptcy.

Among problems cited, poor drainage in the park-ing lot, undersized dugouts on the baseball fi eld, and depressions in the grass of playing fi elds.

The football field also lacked goalposts and bleachers. Project costs were nearing $3.3 mil-

lion. Last March, council ap-

proved a $660,000 bond to purchase dirt to fi ll in playing fi elds. At that point, the recreational project was over two years behind schedule and more than $1 million over budget bring-ing the total cost over $4 million.

The original price tag for the project was estimated at $1.7 million.

Pensions, Gypsy MothsDrive Dennis Tax Rate Hike

By JOE HART

DENNISVILLE –– Ac-cording to Administra-tor Jody Alessandrine, in-creased costs associated with gypsy moth spraying and pension contributions will bump the local pur-pose tax rate in Dennis Township from 12.6 cents last year to around 14 cents this year. It will

be the township’s first tax hike in more than 15 years.

That means a resident whose property is assessed at $100,000 will pay about $140 in municipal taxes this year, as opposed to $126 last year.

According to Alessan-drine, 1 cent in the town-ship’s tax rate is equal to approximately $104,000 in the budget.

Based on state Depart-ment of Agriculture es-timates, the township budgeted $120,000 for gypsy moth spraying, Ales-sandrine said.

Last year the township only budgeted around $20,000.

“We also had to budget $40,526 more for our obligated public employee pension contributions,” he added. The township is now paying 80 percent of the expense or $94,050, compared to last year’s 60 percent or $53,524. Next year the township will have to pay 100 percent.

Those two increases take up the “lion’s share” of the expected 1.3 to 1.5 cent tax increase the town-ship is facing, according to Alessandrine.

He also noted that the state’s mandated 4 percent cap on tax levy increases has made the budgeting process diffi cult for local governments.

Last year the township tax levy was just under $1.3 million, which would allow them to raise a bit over $1.4 million this year through taxation.

“We’re all cognizant that the 4 percent cap on our tax levy has changed the terrain of how local

governments operate their budgeting system in this state,” Alessandrine said.

“But this budget is lean especially considering our state-obligated increase in pension contributions and the more than fi ve times increase in gypsy moth costs.”

Township committee held a budget workshop Monday night to discuss these issues.

The governing body was originally supposed to in-troduce its budget by Feb. 11, but the state Depart-ment of Community Af-fairs (DCA) extended the deadline to March 11.

The DCA also pushed back the deadline for bud-get adoption from March 20 to April 21.

Coast Guard to Continue School Bus FundingBy JACK FICHTER

CAPE MAY — The U.S. Coast Guard informed par-ents late last year that it would no longer be able to pay for bus transportation to Cape May Elementary School, but Coast Guard Training Center Command-ing Offi cer Capt. Sandra L Stosz told the board of edu-cation at a Jan. 24 meeting it would continue to fund the bus transportation.

The move would have stopped school bus service for 96 children as of the end of this school year and saved the Coast Guard $65,000.

Stosz informed parents of the impending change in a Nov. 30, 2007 letter. She said she has been working since the announcement with the school board and City of Cape May and her

chain of command to fi nd other options.

“Because the school board has stated they don’t have adequate federal Im-pact Aid to fund the school bus transportation, and therefore are not able to fund the transportation, that gives the Coast Guard the ability to exercise the authority to continue to fund the school bus with our operating funds in or-der to insure the safety of those children,” said Stosz.

“We thank you all for working together to come up with a great solution to ensure the safe passage of our children on the school bus,” she continued.

Cape May Elementary School Superintendent Victoria Zelenak said she was “thrilled” with the outcome.

School Board President Linda Loughlin said the school board’s solicitor would send a letter to the Coast Guard indicating federal Impact Aid funds it receives could not cover the cost of the school buses, giving Stosz the authority to continue to fund the school bus operation.

An offi cer in the audi-ence, beginning a four-year tour of duty in Cape May, asked if the bus situation would need to be reevalu-ated each year.

Loughlin said it may be necessary to send the letter informing the Coast Guard every year of the shortfall of federal Impact Aid for busing.

Stosz said the Coast Guard would work with the school board to determine if the cost of busing could be reduced by possibly us-ing fewer than three buses — by staggering starting times for different grade levels at the school.

“I think a lot of good has come out of this negotiation and we are going to move ahead for the benefi t of all taxpayers and ourselves,”

she said.Resident Jack Wichter-

man, a board member of the Taxpayers Association of Cape May, commended the Coast Guard and school board for working together to resolve the issue. He said the school did not receive enough impact aid to sat-isfy the cost of each child coming into the school.

“But, we do need the Coast Guard,” said Wich-terman. “The Coast Guard is a vital part of Cape May.”

He recalled a time when the Coast Guard consid-ered closing the base and local residents were in a panic mode.

Loughlin thanked Coast Guard parents for appeal-ing to the city for help.

Stosz said the Coast Guard was fi nishing a fi ve-year bus contract with Lion

Tours. She said the cost of busing is in the budget of the training center and she will not have to seek addi-tional appropriations.

As commanding offi cer of the Coast Guard Training Center, Stosz was not able to earmark the $65,000 as an appropriate use of federal funds based on Con-

gressional guidelines, she said. The center’s purpose is to graduate new appren-tices to carry out the Coast Guard’s missions.

The shortfall of impact aid for busing children gives the Coast Guard the authority to fund the trans-portation for the safety of the students, she said.

What Is Federal Impact Aid?By JACK FICHTER

What is federal Impact Aid and why do schools like Cape May Elemen-tary School receive those funds?

Many local school dis-tricts across the United States include within their boundaries parcels of land that are owned by the fed-eral government or that have been removed from the local tax rolls by the federal government such as a military base. These school districts face special challenges.

They must provide a quality education to the children living federal lands and meet the requirements of the No Child Left Be-hind Act, while sometimes operating with less local revenue than is available to other school districts because the federal prop-erty is exempt from local property taxes, according to the U.S. Department of Education.

Coast Guard Training Center Cape May Public Information Offi cer C.W.O. Veronica Bandrowski told the Herald, Cape May El-ementary receives about $695,000 per year in fed-eral impact aid. She said 110 Coast Guard students are enrolled in Cape May Elementary School.

That amounts to about $6,318 per student, said Bandrowski.

Cape May Elementary has said their cost to edu-cate a student is about $16,000.

“The reality is no stu-dent in a public school is responsible for 100 percent of their cost,” said Band-rowski. “Cost is spread out among the entire com-munity so it reduces the impact of one individual resident’s burden.”

With public schools funded primarily through

the local property tax, the average tax bill for a three-bedroom town house val-ued around $700,000 in Cape May produces an annual tax bill of about $3,800, she said.

Bandrowski noted that amount is distributed among all municipal ser-vices.

Using the $695,000 fed-eral impact aid Cape May Elementary School receives and dividing it by 173 tax-exempt Coast Guard Base housing units, which would be appraised for less than $700,000, the per unit contribution is equal to paying $4,017 annually in property taxes.

She noted 100 percent of impact aid goes to the school and is not shared by the city and county. Coast Guard families are actually paying more in equivalent taxes than Cape May ho-meowners pay in property taxes, said Bandrowski.

Coast Guard Training Center Commanding Of-fi cer, Capt. Sandra L Stosz told the Herald said the Coast Guard did not have the authority to look how Cape May Elementary School uses impact aid or “make judgements.”

How do school districts use impact aid?

Most funds, except for the additional payments for children with disabilities and construction payments, are considered general aid to the recipient school districts.

These districts may use the funds in whatever man-ner they choose in accor-dance with their local and state requirements. Most recipients use these funds for current expenditures, but recipients may use the funds for other purposes such as capital expendi-tures. Some Impact Aid funds must be used for specifi c purposes, according

to the U.S. Department of Education.

School districts use im-pact aid for a wide variety of expenses including the salaries of teachers and teacher aides, purchasing textbooks, computers, and other equipment, after-school programs and re-medial tutoring, advanced placement classes, and spe-cial enrichment programs.

LET IT SLIDE The drawers and pullouts in most kitchen cabinets ride on side-mounted, ball-bearing, metal slides. With full-extension slides, the drawers come all the way out; three-quarter extensions leave about one-quarter of the interior of the drawer buried inside the cabinet. The more functional full-extension slides are usually thought to be worth the extra cost. Undermount slides, which are attached to the bottom of the drawer and are hidden by the drawer slides, are also becoming increasingly common. These slides make cabinets look more like furniture. In addition, slides are rated by the weight they are designed to carry. Generally, 75-lb. slides should be enough for all but the largest and heaviest drawers, which should be outfi tted with 100-lb. slides.

At QUALITY HOME CENTER our stock and custom cabinets offer you a world of pleasant surprises. Here, you’ll discover that we have exactly what you want at a price you can afford.

cost and design of a new facility. Gaffney is also vice president of the Beach Theatre

Foundation. He said the foundation has a “strong interest” in what

takes place at a new convention hall.“To say this was a very, very large project I think is an

understatement,” said Gaffney of the proposed conven-tion hall. “At the same time the overall seating capacity, in my opinion, is not going to be that much larger than what you have now.”

While the overall size of the hall would be tripled in the proposed design, the seating capacity would not be tripled, he said.

Architect Martin Kimmel estimated a capacity of 950 with sloped seating or 1,200 to 1,300 seats on a fl at fl oor at full capacity.

“That’s a good deal more in an environment that would be dramatically improved,” he replied.

Gaffney said the project was so large in dollars and square footage that city council should put it on the May ballot as a binding referendum question.

He said a new convention hall would be the largest proj-ect the city had undertaken as long as he could remember, bigger than the reconstruction of the Washington Street Mall or building of the city’s desalination plant.

“With all due respect, you should put it to the public and let them say yes or no,” said Gaffney.

He said if the public approves the project, the construc-tion would be on schedule, if the public disapproves, “then it’s back to the drawing board.”

“We may or may not be an owner of the entire Beach Theatre complex which takes in many stores and a res-taurant,” he said.

It’s those potential stores and restaurants that concern Gaffney.

foundation trying to pull together partners to eventually purchase the theater and possibly the complex. He said a new convention hall would be an asset to the city but possibly in competition with the Beach Theatre.

Gaffney questioned the need to also demolish the Solarium, which the city rebuilt 10 years ago.

Convention Hall Committee Chairman Skip Loughlin said the group represented a good cross section of the public. He said the committee had received a tremendous amount of public comment.

“It is the committee’s feeling this is what the public wanted,” said Loughlin.

The hall is designed more for the community than for tourists, he said.

Loughlin said the Beach Theatre and a new convention

hall were two very differ-ent venues.

Gaffney said a potential developer for the Beach Theatre could view a new convention hall as com-petition and deter their interest.

“The board is worried this may overshadow any form of development,” he said.

Gaffney said a developer may want to expand the Beach Theatre complex to the maximum allow-able height of three stories “and now they are looking across the street at a very, very large building, maybe it discourages them from bidding on it.”

“The city has one shot at something that would be a wonderful facility for everybody,” said Mayor Jerome E. Inderwies.

He noted a grant from the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority awaits to help pay for con-struction.

Inderwies said a new convention hall and the Beach Theatre would com-plement each other.

Cape May Groups ProvideWish List for New Hall

By JACK FICHTER

CAPE MAY — Groups that will get the most use from a new convention hall here met Monday with the city’s Convention Hall Committee and architect Martin Kimmel.

Diane Hutchinson, pres-ident of Mid Atlantic Cen-ter for the Arts, read from a letter from Jed Gaylin, or-chestra director of the Bay Atlantic Symphony, who requested a large enough stage to accommodate the orchestra with risers and a shell to improve acous-tics. He noted the stage of the current convention

hall is not air-conditioned, something that needed to be corrected in the new hall design.

Gaylen asked the air conditioning system be quiet enough to run during concerts.

Cape May Jazz Festival Executive Director David Greenspun questioned if a new hall would have substantially more seating capacity than the current facility. He suggested using more of the pre-function lobby area for space in the auditorium.

Greenspun said the fes-tival could book “higher level talent,” for an audito-rium that could seat 1,500

to 1,800. He said a number of artists would not accept bookings that required per-forming two shows in one evening due to a smaller seating capacity.

Kimmel said the pro-posed design should seat 1,200 to 1,300 persons.

Energy Commi t tee member Mary Ann Gaff-ney presented a memo from chairperson Charlotte Todd. It requested the hall’s design include roof trusses “strong enough to accommodate solar panels that rotate, small wind tur-bines and/or a combined system.”

The memo also called for high effi ciency heating and cooling systems, windows that accommodate natural ventilation and low water use plumbing fi xtures.

Kiwanis Club member Jack Wichterman requested a 20-inch hood for the ca-tering kitchen, something that would be beneficial to the organization’s huge, annual pancake breakfast. He also requested a blower oven on wheels.

An issue of whether a new hall should have sloped seating or chairs on a fl at fl oor was raised at a previous meeting. Kimmel said a sloping platform without chairs that would store in the wall when not in use would add a cost of about $300 per seat.

With seats attached to the platform, the cost would increase to $450 to $500 per seat.

Estimating 1,000 seats, a sloping platform with seats attached would add $300,000 to $500,000 to the convention hall’s cost, said Kimmel.

The foundation could acquire the Zoe’s Res-taurant property located next door to the theater. Gaffney said there were already six restaurants in the convention hall block with an additional eatery planned for the new con-vention hall.

“We are concerned as to a seventh restaurant and whether that would be a competition for us if we get to this point,” he said.

Kimmel said the conven-tion hall restaurant would replace Tisha’s, which will close when the Solarium is demolished along with the current convention hall. He said the new restaurant would be 50 to 60 percent larger than Tisha’s, about 1,700 square feet.

Gaffney said “the clock was running” with the

ment the Audubon Society, with a bid twice that of the winery was not granted the lease and that the county has chosen instead to reject both bids and start over.

The Audubon Society’s plan is to raise hay and grasses on the property; they have identifi ed a farmer who would work the fi elds, and harvest two, possibly three, crops per year of native grasses that will then be given to local horse farms for feed.

“Over 30 percent of endangered and threatened birds and species need native

grasses and flowers,” said Eric Stiles, conservation director for the NJ Audubon Society.

Stiles said the Audubon Society has been working with farmers for the last fi ve years in a program which utilizes federal farm bill funds to help fund the raising and harvesting of native grasses as crops.

A vineyard’s crop needs approximately fi ve years before harvesting for wine pro-duction, according to Ernst.

employed by public works. “It’s a human tragedy but it’s reality in terms of testing the marketplace of the private versus the public sector,” Bed-narek said, putting an emphasis on “cost avoidance.”

Bednarek said the 26 acres of lawn and about six acres of beds were divided based on proximity and similarity of work into fi ve areas in order to make bids an option for smaller fi rms so not to limit bids to large businesses.

Councilmember David Ellenberg said using the public sector would require an estimated 25,000 man-hours and four additional employees to be completed in time.

Public works secretary Kathy Seliger said the depart-ment was rushed to “guesstimate” their duties and the timecard calculations may not be accurate.

Seliger said the department has received 330 work orders to help move furniture and “employees are con-stantly pulled in several directions.”

“Public works is in constant disagreement with Borough Hall,” public works employee Wendy Golway-Glenz told council.

Avalon Lays Off(From Page A1) The borough hired a private contractor last year to

assist public employees in completing their duties. Employees said the department was poorly managed resulting in less productivity because public employees are constantly helping with odd jobs.

“It would be a great loss to lose them to a private contractor,” Seliger said.

“It is our responsibility to manage the taxpayers’ mon-ey,” Councilwoman Nancy Hudanich said in response to employees’ comments.

“This is not written in stone and it can be changed or revised. If we are wrong we will admit it,” Tipping said.

Public Works employees gathered outside after the meeting joining in their upset.

“The contract doesn’t take into account all of the other jobs we perform,” Glenz said.

The employees anticipate the lay-off in early Febru-ary.

Drug Awareness(From Page A1)

His son, Nathan Stahler, 8, said the program is re-ally fun and it keeps him busy and away from drug and alcohol situations.

"We go to the boardwalk, play games and watch mov-ies," he said.

"Uncle" Daniel Auld directs the program and shares his personal experience with drugs, gangs, violence and theft in hopes of preventing kids from making the same bad decisions.

Detective Joseph Landis of the county Prosecutor's offi ce, a former Wildwood police offi cer, displayed con-tainers used to hide drugs that at fi rst sight appear to be ordinary items such as an iced tea bottle or a container of dinner leftovers. Landis said the police are aware of these deceptive containers and make an effort to thoroughly search seemingly ordinary household items.

James Smith of the State Department of Human Services said it spent about $100 million on addiction, prevention and treatment through detoxifi cation and rehabilitation programs.

"A problem with drug addiction is not a death sen-tence, it's a wake-up call," Smith said.

Smith spoke about the co-dependency, heath problems and various ways drugs affect users and those who care for them.

Trish Giordano, an adjunct professor and certifi ed drug and alcohol counselor, displayed a briefcase of drug representations to show caretakers what certain drugs look like and the lingo used to describe them.

Giordano offered advice to parents and guardians on how to discuss drug issues with children concerning peer pressure, self-esteem and role-playing using media as a catalyst for discussion to prepare kids for a situation where they can say no to drugs and still be cool.

"Drug addiction is a disease and it requires ongoing maintenance like any other disease," Giordano said.

Giordano said those in need should call the United Way First Call For Help's local helpline at 609-729-2255 or dial 211 from anywhere in the state.

Blaze Causes Heavy DamageTo Structure in Dennisville

DENNISVILLE — A struc-ture fi re reported shortly after 10 a.m. on Jan. 26, at 261 Myrtle Ave., on the property of Pineland Acres Farm, brought response from Cape May and Cum-berland county volunteer fi refi ghters and companies.

The initial report was that the structure was fully involved, meaning totally engulfed in fl ames.

Dennis Volunteer Fire Company fi rst responders arrived and found the stor-age building ablaze and requested mutual aid from Woodbine and Ocean View fi re companies.

The fire continued to burn out of control, and a tanker task force was re-quested to respond, since there is no municipal water or fire hydrants in that rural section of Dennis Township.

That call brought re-sponse from all Lower Township fi re companies, and apparatus from as far away as Cumberland County.

Additional manpower was requested from Lower, Middle and Upper town-ships. Fire hoses lined Myrtle Avenue for several blocks forming a chain from one truck to another.

Fire trucks drafted wa-ter from Johnson Pond off Route 47 to relay back to the fi re scene. The fi re was declared under control at 11:45 a.m.

The county Fire Marshal was requested at the scene to determine the cause of

the fi re. County Fire Police helped direct traffi c at Route 47 and County Road 610.

Not Just for the Birds

A Winter Stroll Through Cape May Point State ParkBy LESLIE TRULUCK

LOWER TOWNSHIP — Winter visitors of Cape May Point State Park here can view the natural fresh-water wetlands, enjoy bird watching, hiking, exploring the museum, or simply walking a dog along the beachfront where they can see a military bunker from World War II.

Park Naturalist Matthew Pelligrine spends winter months doing research for the interior displays at the park’s museum, maintain-ing the three color-coded trails through the wetlands and providing educational services.

Bird watching extends the tourism industry well after Labor Day and into the winter through Janu-ary.

“This is one of the top ten birding areas in the United States and it is very well known in other parts of the world,” Pelligrine said.

Pelligrine said visitors travel from England, Hol-land, Germany and all over the United States to watch birds migrate through the park’s location at the south-ernmost tip of New Jersey.

Roger and Kathy Horn from Bucks County, Pa visit the park every two weeks to enjoy identifying and ob-serving birds with a digital telescope or “digi-scope” to take photographs.

The park's hawk watch platform, set directly in their flight path, gives visitors a spectacular view. Northwest winds push birds towards the seashore

where they hug the coast during their fl ight south, Pelligrine said.

The Cape May Bird Ob-servatory reported 80,000 birds of prey migrating through the area this year and bird statistics are dis-played on a table near the observation platform.

Dennis and Mary Ann Cronin of Egg Harbor Township took a brisk af-ternoon walk with their grandchildren Desi and Denay Brunson on the wooden trails above the wetlands.

Visitors can view mallard ducks, muskrat lodges, ot-ter and other aquatic ani-mals swim through chan-nels around Lighthouse Pond.

“People might not see much in the winter but they will often see some-thing exciting. Winter is when the deer, otter, straying hawks, American Bald Eagle and osprey are visible.

“When it’s cold with less people we get very lucky when animals wander close to a trail and visitors get a quick but excellent up-close look,” Pelligrine said.

The museum holds sev-eral native animals found in the park or in the nearby Pine Barrens Forest with ample information about freshwater wetlands, the military bunker, the history of beach erosion at Cape May Point and the plethora of plants and animals that live there.

A black rat snake, orange corn snake, water snake, endangered pine snake and box turtle are kept in

the museum's wall display. Most of these animals were unwanted pets donated from area homes. A display of land hermit crabs dem-onstrates the proper care for their survival outside their native habitat of the Florida Keys.

Outside, visitors can see ducks, deer, rabbits and several birds, including blue heron.

Dedicated volunteers help Pelligrine educate the public and work on the park's reforestation project. The park offers guided tours through the wooden walkways above

the freshwater wetlands and through the restoration project where baby trees are marked with small pink ribbons.

Annually the park clears the forest overtaken by the invasive vines Clematis and Japanese Honeysuckle.

These rope-like weeds coil around trees damag-ing and eventually killing them. Pelligrine said these exotic vines are grown in local home gardens and re-place the forest when birds eat and spread seeds.

The Wildlife Habitat In-centive Program (WHIP) through the federal Soil

Conservation Service pro-vides money for the restora-tion project and state-desig-nated preservation area.

The park encourages people to volunteer and Pelligrine said the work often becomes a fun social activity.

Pelligrine also works on education and he travels to local elementary schools for educational presentations and invites school field trips to the park’s classroom to learn about the unique

habitat and critical bird migration path.

“It’s important that locals understand exactly what we have here,” Pelligrine said.

The lighthouse is con-sidered separate from the park and is leased to the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts for renovations.

Visitors are able to walk dogs on the beach until April 15, but dogs are never allowed on the trails.

Pelligrine said the park

aims to offer one family program per month during winter. To learn of upcom-ing events and volunteer opportunities or to donate funds for the museum call 884-2159. The museum is open between 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Sunday and most weekdays.

Sports Betting (From Page A1)

again losing out as betters fl ock to Las Vegas. We need to ensure Atlantic City stays on the cutting edge and has a competitive advantage against the new wave of gambling offerings in other states.”

The measure passed (8-0) the Assembly Tourism and Gaming Committee on which Albano’s legislative partner Matthew Milam (D-1st) sits as vice chairman.

State Sen. Jeff Van Drew (D-1st), who chaired that same committee as an Assemblyman, sponsored similar bills in 2004 and 2006 but they both failed.

“It has been diffi cult in the past and will continue to be a heavy lift, but we think it’s one worth making,” Van Drew told the Herald.

He noted that the measure has opposition in the legislature, particularly with Senate President Richard Codey (D-27th), but it also faces challenges from the federal government, which regulates sports betting under interstate commerce.

In 1992, a federal law limiting sports betting to Nevada was amended to give New Jersey and four other states an opportunity to put the question before voters. Oregon, Delaware and Montana acted to have sports betting ap-proved, but this state did not.

Van Drew said the federal law has vulnerabilities, how-ever, and New Jersey has a good chance of challenging it in the U.S. Supreme Court if the current state measure can move through the legislature and be approved by voters.

Van Drew said the measure also faced opposition from the National Football League and other professional sports organizations, but calls their opposition hypocritical due to several incidents involving gambling and notable sports fi gures.

“It is happening illegally all across the state. We are kidding ourselves to think it is not —this latest incident proves that. The professional sport organizations are against legalizing sports betting when their own people are participating in it. I guess it is OK when they are the ones making a profi t. We have a major budget problem in this state and all forms of revenue are needed. Why should people breaking the law get all of the benefi ts while the citizens of New Jersey suffer,” said Van Drew.

According to a release, lawmakers said that the avail-ability of legalized sports betting would counteract illegal sports wagering. They noted that in November Attorney General Anne Milgram announced the break-up of a $22 million illegal sports book that operated out of the Borgata Casino. Among the 23 individuals charged, four men had ties to organized crime.

Van drew noted that proceeds from illegal gambling

aren’t taxed and don’t go to help state programs that serve the elderly as those from legal gambling do.

“Organized crime claps its hands every time this legislation fails,” Van Drew said.

Worldwide sports betting is estimated to approach $400 billion annually and these First District legislators want to see New Jersey get its share.

The sports betting measure now heads to Assembly Speaker Joseph Roberts (D-5th), who decides if and when to post it for a fl oor vote.

Albano Continues Fight for Victim Rights, Vehicle Safety

By JOE HART

TRENTON –– Three pieces of legislation spon-sored by Assemblyman Nelson Albano (D-1st) ad-vanced through commit-tees in recent days.

Albano, 53, of Vineland, lost his son Michael in 2001 in an automobile ac-cident with a drunk driver who had four previous DWI convictions. Before becoming a legislator he lobbied successfully to have Michael’s Law enacted, which increased penalties for repeat offenders.

Albano unseated As-semblyman Jack Gibson (R-1st) and began his term as a New Jersey legislator in January 2006. Since that time, he has sponsored numerous bills advocat-ing for children, families, safety and victim’s rights. Due to his passion for these causes, Albano currently serves the Assembly as the vice chairman of the Law and Public Safety Com-mittee.

According to an Assem-bly press release, a two-bill package he sponsored with Assemblyman John

S. Wisniewski (D-19th) is aimed at tightening seatbelt laws. The measures would require all passengers to wear seatbelts and increase penalties for violators.

“We need to look no further than police reports of grisly accidents over the last several years to see the horrendous consequences of not wearing a seatbelt,” Albano said. “The simple fact is that seat belts save lives, and it’s past time we required everyone in a car to wear them.”

The Transportation, Pub-lic Works and Independent Authorities Committee re-leased the bills Jan. 28.

Another bill Albano sponsored along with Third District Assemblymen John Burzichelli and Douglas Fisher would protect the surviving families of victims of fatal auto accidents from exorbitant wrecked-vehicle storage and handling fees.

The measure was named “Mackay’s Law” in honor of 18-year-old Daniel Mackay, a Gloucester County teen killed in a June 2006 acci-dent on Interstate 295.

Following the accident, Mackay’s family was hand-

ed a bill for nearly $650 for towing and storage of the young man’s wrecked car.

The measure would limit to $100 the amount that could be charged for storing a vehicle for the first 72 hours following an accident in which the owner is killed or seriously injured and would require law enforcement offi cers to provide the next-of-kin of a person killed or incapaci-tated in a motor vehicle accident with towing com-pany information.

“In the wake of a horrifi c tragedy, allowing families to recover a vehicle in a timely manner and with minimal cost is simply the right thing to do,” Albano said.

The Assembly Law and Public Safety Committee released the measure 3 to 1 on Jan. 24.

Guessing the Pats will Demolish New York While the success rate

of my resistance to pizza, chocolate and sweetened cereal remains under the “Mendoza Line,” my aver-sion to sports betting is as firm as Marion Jones on performance enhancing Frosted Flakes.

The temptation to wager a few hard-earned dollars on the games we all fol-low has succumbed to a strict belief that one never knows how a contest will end. With the possible exception of Tim Donaghy-offi ciated NBA games, the results of sporting events can be as diffi cult to predict as winter weather in Cape May County.

The entertainment and bil l ion-dollar industry known as professional foot-ball comes to a crescendo this Sunday evening with the annual extravaganza called the Super Bowl. I remain fascinated by the amount of cash guessti-mated on the big game.

Many of us consume several sports publica-tions daily, whether it’s old-fashioned newsprint, glossy magazines or online sources. There’s excellent sports talk such as ESPN’s Colin Cowherd, heard lo-cally between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. on 1450 am.

These pundits and the discussions and interviews they orchestrate, bring perspective and educated supposition to the average sports enthusiast, let alone those who consume stats, tendencies and historical precedents like their morn-ing Cocoa Puffs.

What to do about this

PEOPLE PLAYBy Joe Rossi

GAMES

Sunday’s season-ending battle between the Patriots and the Giants? (Please don’t count the Pro Bowl as real football).

A part of me sees how tough the Giants have be-come in the face of weekly underdog status. Eli Man-ning, despite his odd and dour facial expressions, has emerged as an above-average quarterback, even in frozen tundra condi-tions. Those two truths are examples of the things that this football-follower would have laughed off in early fall.

Emotional Tom Coughlin was destined to walk the plank. His hard personality and tendency to embarrass players in public would surely have him canned af-ter last season’s fi rst round bow-out to the Birds. We scoffed at the G-Men for bringing Coughlin back and we howled when New York stumbled to an 0-2 start.

Placing any sort of wager

on the Giants at that point seemed obvious. Pick them to lose. Or guess which week the coach would be fi red or that the quarter-back would be benched. But that never came close to happening.

New England came into the season with predictions of glory due to their recent history and the additions to their formidable roster. It was a bit easier to under-stand bold forecasts for the Pats since they looked the part on paper. But some of us thought that since they don’t play the games on paper, there was no way things could turn out as glorious as some prognosti-cators were bellowing.

Wrong, again.A win on Sunday will propel Bill Belichick’s bunch to an his-toric 19-0. No way could I have bet on that prob-ability. Not a chance, so to speak. So this pick is going to be odd, but, bear with me. And whatever you do,

don’t take this “forecast” to the bank or the bookie.

The Giants played New England nose-to-nose in the regular season fi nale. It’s obvious that New York’s decision to forgo resting starters and battle the Patri-ots hard paid big dividends in guts and courage. Fortu-nately, no serious injuries occurred and the Giants went on to three thrilling road playoff wins.

New England, starting with the game Eagle QB A.J. Feeley ended with an end zone interception, has not looked invincible and certainly not dominant in the last six weeks. The pressure is on them to fi n-ish the undefeated season while the G-Men are for-tunate to just be there and have upstart momentum on their side.

Therefore, let me reverse field like Barry Sanders in his prime and predict a New England blow out. That’s right, a New England domination.

Key players for New York are very young while many New England athletes have Super Bowl experi-ence. Belichick and his fantastic quarterback, Tom Brady, stay remarkably calm

when they’re behind, while Coughlin’s histrionics and Manning’s inexperience may haunt the Giants if things begin poorly.

Belichick knows what went wrong the fi rst time these teams played and while Giant defensive co-ordinator Steve Spagnuolo has earned accolades for his strategizing, the less-than-personable guy across the fi eld in the tattered hoody, is the master.

Patriot receiver Randy Moss, often immature and sometimes downright crude, knows his legacy is on the line next Sunday. When Moss is trying, the defense is usually left cry-ing. While I wouldn’t re-sign the aging and volatile star for long-term years and big bonus bucks after this season, I’d bet on him to play the game of his life this week.

The Giants have shocked all pundits and perhaps they’ll pull off the upset of this generation, but my guess is New England will dominate New York.

It won’t be close.But I could be wrong.You can reach Rossi at

If you are caring for a family member who is bedridden with an illness, you should be aware of his or her potential for developing bedsores. These skin injuries occur when a person remains in one position in a bed, wheelchair or other supportive device for an extended period. As pressure is continually exerted on the same area of the body, the skin breaks down, creating a sore. Once a sore develops, caregivers should quickly relieve pressure on the skin, using pillows or foam cushions. Consult with the dermatologist about what steps you can take to prevent infection, including regular cleaning. In addition, rinse the affected area regularly with a saline solution to remove any dead tissue in the area. Your dermatologist is an excellent resource for questions about skin care at all stages of life. At our practice, we have advanced training and experience to detect and treat virtually any skin problem, including suspicious moles, eczema, acne and more. For professional medical care for your skin, contact LAWRENCE PAOLINI D.O., P.C at 609-465- 8788. I am a Board Certi� ed dermatologist and the of� ce is conveniently located at 105 NORTH MAIN STREET, CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE.New patients welcome. Most insurance plans are accepted.Please send any questions or comments to my offi ce

2008 Sprint Cup Series Lineup AnnouncedBy BRUCE KNOLL, JR.

The 2008 season is now upon us, and the off-season certainly had its share of driver, team, and sponsor-ship shakeups. So here is a list of the driver-num-ber-sponsor team for the full-time cars in the Sprint Cup Series.

But fi rst, a few changes for NASCAR as a whole should be mentioned. I’ll apologize in advance for slipping up and calling the newly renamed Sprint Cup Series the Nextel Cup and the Nationwide Series the Busch. Now I know how you older fans felt when Winston left the sport in 2003.

Also, a change in the qualifying system. While many fans and people from within the sport have been calling for NASCAR to do away with the top 35 rule, in which teams in the top 35 in owner’s points are locked into the next race,

NASCAR did not do that for the 2008 season.

But they did attempt to make it a bit easier for the teams without a locked-in spot. All the teams that are attempting to qualify from outside the top 35 in owners points will qualify at the end of each qualify-ing system. This is so that the teams can compete on the most level playing fi eld, at a time when the track conditions will be about the same for each.

Now, for the teams. The primary drivers and spon-sors of the car will be listed. David Reutimann and Michael McDowell will drive the number 00 Toyota for Michael Wal-trip Racing. Regan Smith will drive the number 01 Chevrolet for Dale Earn-hardt Inc. Clint Bowyer will driver the No. 07 Jack Daniels Chevrolet for Rich-ard Childress Racing.

Martin Truex Jr. will drive the No.1 Bass Pro

Shops Chevrolet for Dale Earnhardt Inc. Kurt Busch will drive the No. 2 Mill-er Lite Dodge for Penske Racing. Casey Mears will drive the No. 5 Carquest/Kellogg’s Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports. Da-vid Ragan will drive the No. 6 AAA Ford for Roush Fenway Racing. Robby Gor-don will drive the No. 7 Jim Beam/Menard’s Ford for Robby Gordon Motor-sports.

Mark Martin & Aric Almirola will drive the No. 8 U.S. Army Chevrolet for Dale Earnhardt Inc. Kasey Kahne will drive the No. 9 Budweiser Dodge for Gillett-Evernham Motors-ports. Patrick Carpentier will drive the No. 10 Val-voline Dodge for Gillett-Evernham Motorsports. Denny Hamlin will drive the No. 11 Fed-Ex Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing. Ryan Newman will drive the number 12 Alltel Dodge for Penske Racing.

Paul Menard will drive the No. 15 Menard’s Chev-rolet for Dale Earnhardt Inc. Greg Biffl e will drive the No. 16 3M Ford for Roush Fenway Racing. Matt Kenseth will drive the No. 17 DeWalt Tools Ford for Roush Fenway Rac-ing. Kyle Busch will drive the No. 18 M&M’s Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing. Elliot Sadler will drive the No. 19 Best Buy/ Stanley Tools Dodge for Gillett Evernham Motorsports.

Tony Stewart will drive the No. 20 Home Depot Toyota for Joe Gibbs Rac-ing. Bill Elliot, Marcos Ambrose, and Jon Wood will drive the No. 21 Ford for Wood Brothers Racing. No. 70 Haas Automation Chevrolet for Haas CNC Racing. Sam Hornish will drive the No. 77 Mobil 1 Dodge for Penske Racing.

Joe Nemechek will drive the No. 78 Furniture Row Chevrolet for Furniture Row Racing. Brain Vickers

will drive the No. 83 Red Bull Toyota for Red Bull Racing. A.J. Allmendinger will drive the No. 84 Red Bull Toyota for Red Bull Racing.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. will drive the No. 88 Moun-tain Dew/ AMP/ Army National Guard Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports. J.J. Yeley will drive the No. 96 Texas Instruments DLP Products Toyota for Hall of Fame Racing. Carl Edwards will drive the number 99 Offi ce Depot/Afl ac Ford for Roush Fenway Racing.

Ken Schrader has been announced as the driver of the No. 49 Dodge for Day-tona only. It is unknown if he will remain the driver following that race.

What's happening to the lodge in Anglesea? The trees are dead and the place is a mess. We look out our window and see the trash dumpsters, trashcans, and trash on the street, not to mention the trash blowing over to our house. The gates to this area have been missing for seven months, and it is a real eyesore. We always enjoyed the Christmas lights but there were no lights this year. We all live in a lovely area of North Wildwood ,and we would like to keep it that way.

—North Wildwood***

What gives the Middle Township School superintendent the right to have peaceful protestors arrested during Governor Corzine's toll hike presentation? Doesn't he respect the First Amendment and Bill of Rights? Mr. Hamer was right to question his tactics and question this decision. Our founding fathers gave us this sacred right, and two dictators took it away.

—Swainton***

Here it is another winter. Now that the streets are less crowded. Has any one else noticed all the cars with Texas tags and other out-of-state tags? They are not visitors they are residents. If they had to pay the state of New Jersey their vehicle costs, the state would have more money and less illegal people scamming our state.

—Wildwood***

Fifty years ago there were only 8,000 to 10,000 polar bears. Today there are 22,000 to 25,000 polar bears, and a Congres-sional Democrat wants the polar bears declared an endangered species. Let's see the polar bears double their numbers in "global warming," and they are called endangered. Could it be that the Democrats want the polar bears designated as endangered so we can't drill for Alaskan oil? Why do they want to keep us dependent on the tyrants of the Middle East?

—Sea Isle City***

Parishioners of the Assumption, continue to write the bishop with your concerns for the merging of the two churches, Assumption and St. Ann’s. The address is: Rev. Bishop Joseph Galante, 631 Market St., Camden, New Jersey. 08102.

—Wildwood Crest***

St. Ann’s and Assumption parishes are unique to the county of Cape May. They are the only two churches that support two schools an elementary school and a high school. I know that one priest in a merge plan established by the bishop will be an impossible task for one priest to handle. The responsibility of two large parishes and two schools and an additional worship site at the high school during the summer is too much. For this reason alone, two priests are required to share the responsibili-ties as they have in the past.


To the North Cape May spouter that posted that "All you so-called New York Giants football fans will be sitting at home come February watching the Birds in the Super Bowl," you have my sympathy. I'll be watching the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLII. Cry Eagles Cry...on the road to misery.

—Cape May County***

North Wildwood police must have been sleeping on the job again while two young kids burglarized numerous cars and houses over the weekend. I hope city council remembers this when the police union cries they want more money. The real crime is how these cops steal money from the taxpayers by sleeping or watching TV instead of patrolling the streets at night like they are being paid to do


Hillary, Obama and Edwards are extreme, progressive, and socialists. I saw on the Jan. 21 debate that they are not representative of the real Democrat party. Every person needs to read the Constitution, and Bill of Rights, before they put any of them in power. Corzine is trying to set up a "Nanny" state here in NJ just like the three are trying to do nationally. That is unconstitutional. Wake up Democrats. They think we are all stupid and will blindly follow them.

—Court House***

Now that the charges have been dismissed against Seth Grossman and Steve Lonegan, the Middle Township Board of Education should fi re the school’s business administrator Walter Landgraf. It is inexcusable that this man violated the First Amendment rights of these two men. Middle Township is the laughing stock of New Jersey.

—Court House***

To comment on the article about the Middle Township High School security guard, I must say that the security guard is fair with everyone. If your son or daughter is a repeat offender of the school rules, then as a parent you should step up to the plate and admit your child has a problem instead of allowing it to continue because it makes you look bad as a parent because it stems from the way you have raised them. So stop looking for someone to blame…blame yourself. You keep up the good work security.

—Court House***

To the spouter who is ok with "suspicious foreigners”

talking about the Coast Guard base: I alerted police and FBI to a suspicious foreigner who spent lots of money in Wildwood while he made friends with our children. He was already on their list. Yes, we are a seashore resort and we depend on the revenue. That does not mean that all foreigners are not terrorists. I may be a cynic, but I am not ignorant. Does your greed make you so?

—Lower Township***

To all of you parents and adult students who are going to be attending ACCC, beware of outrageous textbook prices. My daughter just paid $144 for an Algebra 2 textbook. Does anyone else fi nd this unconscionable?

—Villas***

I took in a movie last Sunday evening at the Beach Theater in Cape May City. It was a pleasant surprise. The price was right. More than enough close parking. The movie was meant for moviegoers that want something more than shoot ‘em ups, burn it down or blow it up. It was a movie to talk about. And the coffee was very good too. Check it out.

—North Cape May***

Thank you Ocean City PD for apprehending the television thiefs. The SICPD was waiting for the “scooter patrol” to be organized before taking any action. It’s nice to see someone taking the welfare of their citizens as a priority.

—Ocean City***

I'm in a quandary as to where to invest my money in Wild-wood. I could buy a couple of over-priced condos for $3.3 mil-lion, or I could look to purchase Wild Wheels Pier for the same amount and make a fortune. And the beauty of it is bonds will be issued to pick up the slack, and the Wildwood taxpayers will have to pay for them. Hmmm, what to do, what to do?

—Wildwood***

Has anyone discovered that women tend to get special treat-ment from police, to the schools, to the courts? It seems that women automatically become the victims in any domestic issues. It doesn't matter if they mentally abuse you for years, all they need is a temporary restraining order and they get all kinds of benefi ts. It doesn't matter if they lie to get the restraining order; the judge needs to do what’s the safest thing for all concerned. Do you know that phone calls to your spouse about your son’s mental health will constitute a temporary restraining order?


The mother getting the free tuition only sleeps at her mother's house three nights a week. She tells everyone this is so her daughter can go to school in Stone Harbor for free. As far as the Delaware tags are concerned, unless you are in the military, which she is not, you have three months to change your tags to where you are living. She should have New Jersey tags.

—Stone Harbor***

Why must residents continually guess when their recyclables will be picked up? Sometimes they are not picked up but once a month. I realize township employees have many paid holidays but people should not have put out their recyclables and hope for the best.


To the spouter who thinks the Democrats are to blame for the bad economy: Open your eyes. George W. Bush inherited a balanced budget and a surplus from Bill Clinton. He has wasted billions on a war that has achieved nothing and continues to "write bad checks." During his presidency all domestic issues were ignored and the emphasis was on putting out daily propa-ganda to justify a war to enrich his wealthy friends. All of the Bush supporters who waited in line to vote for him should be happy now; we are all paying the price.

—Cape May***

Why no coverage of the accident on Route 9 with the rollover that shut down the road south of Academy and kept residents without power for hours?

—Ocean View***

I don't know where the Middle Township Board of Education thinks the school property is private property. The last time I checked, the board of education was a public entity fi nancially supported by public property taxes. And this is the person lead-ing the school district?


Balancing Budgets. Start with the people working in restau-rants and bars, in season, overstating earnings, then collect maximum unemployment the remainder of the year, year after year. Include those who work in county during the summer, col-lect N. J. unemployment off-season, because they have a relative living here, and work out-of-state, say Colorado. Unemployment, do a better job verifying if people are actually looking for jobs and living here while they are receiving unemployment because bars and restaurants close for the season, doesn't mean there aren't other jobs.

their chance to vote out the current administration. They voted in one good commissioner who is doing a good job; so next time vote out the other two, and maybe your town will prosper.

—Wildwood***

Once again a fi asco points to the state police…the incident in Middle Township resulting with two people being arrested for voicing their dissent towards a politician. Well now everyone is trying to distance themselves from the problems that will result in lawsuits. The school board fi nally said it was the NJSP who ordered the arrests; do they mean regular offi cers or the governor's security force? Remember the 90 miles per hour on the roadway causing a bad accident? They feel they can do anything and get away with it. There should be changes.


It's sad times for the people of Wildwood, what's left of us. $1.9 million tax settlement with the Moreys, a total joke, with those revised assessments. What about a tax credit instead of bonding the debt? I never heard it mentioned once. That's nothing more than an additional tax on us, the property owners. Budget cuts? Forget about it, they just hired more municipal employees on full-time basis mismanagement, at its best

—Wildwood***

The school board administrator in Middle Township did not know that school property is public property? He asked the police to arrest two people who objected to a hike in parkway tolls? I guess he was also not aware of our First Amendment rights. I sure hope the president of the school board takes appropriate action in regards to the lack of knowledge and integrity displayed by Mr. Landgraf. I object to having my tax dollars pay his salary.

—Court House***

Regarding saltwater intrusion and well contamination on Delaware Bay in Villas: Delaware Bay has been around for a hun-dred years. Why do we have a problem now? Is it because water that we pump out of the ground for nothing now, the M.U.A. will charge us $1,200 to bring water down our streets and we have to get a plumber to bring it into our houses for $1,800 or more, and then charge us every month for water that we get out of the ground for nothing. Something is wrong here.

—Villas***

In answer to your sports writer, Joe Rossi, about the New York Giants winning the Super Bowl: The better team won. I think it is terrible knocking the Giants down. Shame on the editor for letting you get away with printing everything you said about the Giants. I pray for them to win the title on Feb. 5 in Arizona.


Does anyone believe our taxes will be cut in half if 25-story buildings are put up? What about the added sewer and water lines? How about fi re equipment and extra fi remen and police-men? It’s obvious some people will benefi t, but it won’t be the common citizen.

—Wildwood***

Re: Lower Township Municipal Courts column of Jan. 23: I can't understand how a kid gets a ticket for not having a street address on his license. Did he make up his own license or was it issued by NJ Motor Vehicle Services without the address? Makes no sense to me.


It is a little late, but I would like to commend the city on the Christmas lights this year. I was really impressed compared to the last few years’ efforts. Great job. I do have a question on why in the middle of the winter there was a tractor dragging the beach. Is there nothing else the city workers can do this time of year or is there a need to waste fuel? Think green and save money.

—Sea Isle City***

Since when does Lower Cape Hockey own the kids who play in their league? When did the parents sign contracts of exclusive ownership with them saying their kids couldn't play for any other leagues or organizations? Are they trying to create a mo-nopoly in the sport of street hockey? This craziness has to stop for the sake of the kids. Just let them play for whomever they want. Adults have a responsibility to the kids to look out for their best interests, not that of the adults' personal agendas.

—Fishing Creek***

If the State Police dispute the reliability of the "black box" in Trooper Robert Higbee's troop car, does that mean the same will apply to civilians in New Jersey? It was considered a sound source of evidence when prosecuting nobodies, but not when it applies to the police. Sounds like it could be a good precedent for defense attorneys.


I want to know when a new law came out that if you are of age you had to agree to not drink if you are sitting at a table with other people who are under the age? I am asking this because on Jan. 24 my friends and I went out as we usually do for wing night, and we were turned away because there was one person who was under the age of 21. I fi nd this ridiculous. My friends and I will no longer be customers to this establishment and we will not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

—Belleplain***

Sixth Street Partners (6SP) gave a presentation to the West Cape May Taxpayers Association. They bashed the mayor and council pretty soundly. Later I heard Sixth Street Partners are the bad actors. Their project could not be approved because it didn't meet the septic requirements of the Cape May County Department of Health. Public sewer was not available because the project is not a NJDEP-approved sewer service area. Later 6SP may have committed fraud by proposing an amendment to the Cape May County Sewer Plan that they submitted as if it was a request by the borough. Now they are suing the town. Who is the bad guy here?

—West Cape May***

I would like to see some playground gear for younger children in the lower numbered streets in our town. If I want to take my family to play on swings or slides, I have go to the 16th Street beach or 25th and Delaware. I think a suitable location would be at 7th and Central.


What a shame to think about charging $1 to go onto the boardwalk. The city can cut the tax by selling the water depart-ment, closing the school, and get rid of the paid fi re department. Then our tax rate would go under 70 cents.

—Wildwood***

On Jan. 23 the Town Bank Fire Company responded to a fi re in my house at 112 Mallard Place. I applaud them for their prompt, effi cient and professional response. My sons Clark and Greg, former volunteer fi remen, and myself thank them.


Thanks to a Cape May Beach spouter for pointing out that if Hillary is elected president, she could appoint husband Bill to the Supreme Court. We had not thought of that possibility, but now that we’re aware of it, our family and our friends will defi nitely vote for Hillary.

—Avalon***

To the spouter from Town Bank who thinks Republicans will crank up a terrorist alert to scare us into voting Republican: Please allow me to remind you there are 3,000 families of 9/11 victims that do not have to be reminded. Unlike you, I sincerely hope everyone realizes that terrorism is real, and unlike you, I hope we are always prepared to do whatever is necessary to protect American and America’s future, our children, and I will always vote to meet that end.

—Rio Grande***

I would just like to thank all the public works people who have been dealing with the snow and cold weather.


We have vacationed at the same motel on Poplar Avenue for 30 plus years, and want to know why there are still two properties boarded up there. We have been told that they will be torn down soon. It is really a shame that the mayor is not doing something about it. When I was little, my grandparents knew the people who owned Kayes Apartments, and I bet Mr. and Mrs. G. are rolling in their graves seeing what has happened to their beloved apartment house. He should pay attention to demolishing these properties instead of building those 25-story condotels.

—Philadelphia***

Corzine wants to raise the price sky high on all the major routes to south Jersey. This will mean that the shoobies will use the back roads like 47 instead of the major roads, which are tolled. The toll increase does not affect the millionaires who fl y in the helicopters; it affects the little guys like you and me.


To the ambulance driver on Jan. 18 at about 8:15 a.m.: You came to many red lights and fl ashed your lights so that you could pull through them; I am sure that you did not have anyone in your bay.

—Middle Township***

I for one do not care if one or two of the MUA employees resign. They have not fought for all of their employees that work there. They should not be reappointed or reassigned.

—Sea Isle***

The Clinton team is amazing. Hillary wants to be a part of Washington and talk the talk, but after her team goes out and lights a fi re, she sends out Bill to defuse the situations. If she cannot contain him on the campaign trail, how will she contain him in Washington? If you vote for Hillary, then we are stuck with Bill too. Bill was a disgrace to the offi ce and we should not be stuck with them again.

—Cape May***

I live on Cedar Drive, and there was an accident right outside my house. I was under the impression that the tow truck driver would have a broom. There is a lot of glass still on the ground and I am concerned about the children’; this is a bus stop. There should be some kind of broom that could be used to clean up glass on the road so that kids will not be hurt or that tires will not be shredded while driving.


I am wondering why in Wildwood Crest the trash recycling is not being picked up the way it was supposed to: one week the glass was left behind, the next the paper was there. Is the supervisor not taking care of the men? Things are being left for days and days.


I am outraged that the medical board would take away Dr. Costino’s license without him being under any kind of indict-ment or suspicion. We need to keep writing the medical board and keep this story in the news. We need to write letters, emails and phone until we have our doctor back.

—Wildwood***

The Clintons had their day, why can’t O’Bama have his day too? Or does he need to wait until after Chelsea has hers as well?

—Villas ***

Middle Township Board of Education should be ashamed of themselves. They arrested Seth Grossman, and Steve Lonegin. The fi rst amendment guarantees that they can say anything. Walter Landgraf has stated that the school property is not public property, this is outrageous. He should be disciplined and the township should be ashamed of itself.


Cape May is taking down the solarium to put up a new con-vention center. The solarium is a part of our town’s history. It is not the original solarium but it has been a wonderful place to read a magazine or book on a hot day and enjoy a breeze. We should fi ght to keep the solarium.

—Cape May***

I am tired of the Lower Township mayor blaming all of the problems of the township on Larry Starner. Larry is a fellow Republican and cannot defend himself because he is dead. The Republicans have been in power for 12 years now, and it is time for a change. Why is Glen Douglass running for mayor, he goes right along with the Republican council?

—Lower Township

***Pesticides have been found

in the test wells of the Cohan-sey aquifer. This is where we get our drinking water from. Why is the township using pesticides on public and private lands that end up in our drinking water?

—Wildwood***

Governor Corzine wants to get rid of state debt and clean up government; this is commendable. But then he blows it by the school funding vote by Asselta, and of course Asselta gets a position with the PUC. Looks like business as usual

—Swainton***

Time for New Jersey to cut up the credit cards. How deep in debt can the legislators spend us in to debt? They go to town the way sailors on shore leave go to town, and make the sailors look like saints.


Langraf is incorrect that the PAC is not public property. And it is wrong that those two men were arrested for exercising their fi rst amend-ment rights.


The condos on the prom-enade do not meet require-ments at the Four Plain land property. Where are the Sea Isle authorities to make sure that people are following the proper codes when building their homes and condos?

—Sea Isle***

Ever wonder why our air quality hardly improves even though we are spending bil-lions in taxes and higher gas prices? China is spewing so much pollution in the air that it plans on shutting down its factories 6 to 10 weeks before the Olympics so the air is breathable by the athletes. Where does all that pollution usually end up? Blown across the ocean and over to us. No

I love the principal and teachers at Elementary No. 1. How-ever, I hate the super citizen program. My older child is still scared by not being a super citizen, and my younger child has said, "I guess I'm not good enough (to be a super citizen)." Sad — developmentally, these children are not able to handle such a personal reward. Don't they understand that (Child Psy. 101). My children are not angels but they certainly aren't "bad" - as they think they are by not being awarded “Super Citizen.”

A city councilman seems to have his hand in the pie on a couple of projects. He energetically promotes a city wide Wi-Fi that doesn't seem to be of any benefi t to the locals. It only offers some questionable benefi t to the city and perhaps to the B&B's and hotels. He has also offered up his home on Reading Avenue as this year’s show house, which will likely provide him with some fi nancial benefi ts.


Who can explain to me where all the tax money goes in wildwood? Why is it that the city has the highest rate and collects the largest sum of money? Why do the tax payers put up with this?

—Wildwood***

I, for one, will not recycle a single item until this town-ship picks them up weekly. Are the guys who pick them up every other week off every other week? I have a great idea. Let's all dump our recyclables at the mayor's house on the "off" weeks. I'll bet they'll get picked up weekly then. Oh, one last thing, aren't we all paying more in taxes this year? Funny how Wildwood picks them up every week and they lose half their occupants after Labor Day. Just another way Lower has dropped the ball. Ponder Lodge, need I say more?


The price of gold spiked this week to all time highs — not because of oil, the economy or Iraq, but because South Africa had to reduce it's electricity usage by 20 percent in the whole country. This caused them to shut down some gold mines and layoff thousands of workers. They haven't kept up with build-ing power plants or refi neries because of green environmen-talists pressures. We are in the same position. Politicians, wake up. We depend on electricity for our health, jobs and security. Don't make us the next South Africa.


This latest scandal plaguing the Middle Township Police De-partment is just another example of poor leadership. The pow-ers that be will try to spin and cover up, and blame someone or something else. When will the people wake up and clean house, which is Middle Township government, especially the police department?

—Court House***

We already pay the MUA Chairman to carry on MUA busi-ness on township time. Now the manager is getting the same deal. Sounds like double dipping.


Doesn’t the township have a policy about personal use of vehicles and equipment? MUA board chairman (public works employee) uses his taxpayer-paid truck to chauffer another board member. I guess since the town will control the MUA this is ok.


Obviously, it hasn't occurred to "representatives" in D.C. that we wouldn't have needed an economic stimulus package if they hadn't signed NAFTA. Jack Fichter was right. NAFTA caused more damage than any singular piece of legislation in history. Those who signed NAFTA should be prosecuted for being traitors to the U.S. and its' citizens. NAFTA should be repealed!

the fancy people…bricks and mortar instead of people. Sadly where was the union? Where are the good people of Avalon on privatizing to save a few bucks now but pay a whole lot later? Marty and council should be ashamed.

This is how screwed up the property assessments are in North Wildwood: Condo's in the 500 block of Third Avenue are selling for $350K but are assessed at $167K. Single-family homes in the 400 block are selling for $500K, but are assessed at $775K. The taxpayers on North Wildwood have absolutely no confi dence in the city council or the rookie tax assessor in rectifying this situation. Any by the way, where's my $100 reimbursement from the 2005 property assessment tax appeal?


Please honor our vets; don't fl y any fl ags that are unfi t. Torn and tattered fl ags should be retired. If you can't afford a new one, call a vets’ association — I am sure that they can ar-range for a new one. Better not to fl y any fl ag than to fl y one in poor condition.

—Court House***

For the people who don't know: The center lane in Court House and Rio Grande on Route 47 and on Route 9, the ones with the big opposing arrows painted on the the pavement, means you can actually drive your entire car in to this lane and wait for a break in traffi c to turn, thus freeing up the traffi c behind you to continue. This does not mean you can keep your tail end out in the traffi c. This also doesn't mean you have to stop in a fl ow lane and wait, thus holding up the fl ow of traffi c behind you. This is what those lanes are designed for.

As seasonal rental time is quickly approaching, I ask that landlords please enforce a "No Pets" rule, so that at the end of the season we don’t have more homeless animals left behind. Please be aware of problems in your community and not just be concerned with rental collection, your time and attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.


The new budget submitted by the mayor includes a real estate tax increase of an average of 34 percent per home, yet only 5 or 6 people show up at the budget review held by council to voice their concerns. Wake up people; you still have time to say something to the mayor and council before the budget becomes offi cial. Or are you content to support the spend and tax mentality of the past?

FALLING SATELLITE: WATCH YOUR HEAD

It has been understood for some time now, but this week NASA says a 7,000-pound satellite will fall from the sky tonight, and a few pieces could hit the earth.

The U.S spy satellite, called the Extreme Ultravio-let Explorer, will make its fi nal plunge to the Earth between 10 p.m. EST tonight and 7 a.m. tomorrow morning, even though it was originally speculated to fall sometime at the end of February through March.

The satellite has lost power and does not have the on-board rockets needed to direct re-entry. It is fall-ing at a rate of 15 miles a day from an orbit of about 124 miles.

In spite of earlier hype, the satellite will not destroy us all. The pieces, if they survive the fall, are expected to land in a debris fi eld 625 miles under its orbital path, which stretches as far north as Orlando, Fla. and as far south as Australia, with highly populated areas in between.

Typically when spy satellites come down, they do it in a controlled fashion. They usually are directed into an ocean, because the government is always concerned with what it may (or may not) contain. This one is totally out of control.

and Fern Road is expected to start Feb. 4. Construc-tion is anticipated to last for approximately 16 weeks. During the construction period, this section of Seaview Avenue or portions thereof will be closed to traffi c. Ac-cess will be limited to emergency vehicles and equip-ment. Construction will generally be limited to be-tween the hours of 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Property owners on this section of Seaview Avenue should expect inconveniences accessing their properties during construction hours. However, the borough’s contractor is committed to completing all work professionally and expeditiously.

Teachers Approve ContractCAPE MAY — Cape May Elementary School Board of

Education approved a one-year contract with its teach-ers Jan. 24. The contract takes effect July 1. Superin-tendent Victoria Zelenak said the contract was “status quo” without a pay increase for teachers. Teachers’ medical benefi ts are changing and would be diffi cult to negotiate, she said. Teachers unanimously approved the new contract.

Hat in the Ring?CAPE MAY — The following have picked up applica-

tions to run in the city’s May 13 election. For mayor: Mayor Jerome Inderwies, Edward Mahaney and Jerry Gaffney, for both mayor and council. Gaffney held both offi ces in Cape May. For council: Jean Powick, Jack Wichterman, a former Cape May councilman and Jay Schatz. Potential candidates must fi le their petitions no later than March 20 at 4 p.m.

See the Ocean?CAPE MAY — At Monday’s convention hall com-

mittee meeting, Hillary Pritchard, a revitalization committee member, echoed comments of Ann Breen, a planner with the non-profi t Waterfront Center, sug-gesting one wall of a new auditorium be constructed of glass offering a view of the ocean. The center assists waterfront cities to make the wisest long-term use of their waterfront resources. Proposed plans for the hall feature a large glass “pre-function” lobby area but the auditorium itself would have four solid walls. Pritchard suggested a glass auditorium wall would lend itself to more weddings being held in a new hall. Architect Martin Kimmel said it would be possible to change the design of the auditorium, but it would entail greater expense plus shades to block out daylight when needed in the hall for performances. He said the proposed hall offered plenty of water views and was “set up” for weddings.

Solar Panels WEST CAPE MAY — Deputy Mayor Dick Rigby told

borough commission Jan. 23 a contract is ready to be signed to install solar panels on the roof of borough hall and application for building permits are being submit-ted. He said installation of solar panels should begin within 90 days and take only a week to 10 days for completion. The borough will receive a $29,000 solar rebate from the state, said Rigby. The county provided a $50,000 grant for the project.

Budget TimeWEST CAPE MAY — Borough commission will

hold a special meeting Feb. 4 at 5:30 p.m. to examine the proposed 2008 municipal budget. Auditor Leon Costello and Chief Financial Offi cer John Hansen will attend.

Get in the ZoneAVALON — Council approved re-zoning seven lots at the corner of 29th Street and Ocean Drive, block 29.04, from an R-1B district into a B-1 district. This block includes lots 65.03, 65.04, 65.05, 65.06, 66.01, 66.02, and 66.03. These changes refl ect the Planning and Zoning Board’s recommendations to ease the transition for future com-mercial development of the borough.

Dune Drive and 1st Avenue), 15th Street (from Avalon Avenue to Beach), 16th Street (Dune Drive to 1st Av-enue) and 3rd Avenue (7th Street to the northernmost street end.)

PTI OK for Illegal Immigrant TRENTON — An appellate court ruled Jan. 24 that

pretrial intervention cannot be denied to a defendant based on his illegal immigration status. The case against Juan P. Gutierrez, a Colombian national, who was arrested by Ocean City police on drug charges, was heard on appeal of Judge Raymond Batten’s deci-sion in Superior Court here. Prosecutors had argued that defendant’s illegal immigration status disqualifi ed him for the pretrial intervention drug program, along with other factors; Judge Batten disagreed. The appeals court affi rmed Batten’s decision.

No Separate Contempt ChargeTRENTON — An appellate court ruled Jan. 23 that

violation of a bail condition ordering no contact with the victim was not suffi cient to sustain a separate criminal charge of contempt and affi rmed dismissal of the indictment. The case arose from the indictment of defendant Joseph Murtagh. Murtagh was charged with a disorderly persons offense and simple assault against a female victim heard in Wildwood Municipal Court. He was released on bail and ordered to stay away from the victim, but later was arrested for violating that or-der. Murtagh was then indicted on fourth degree crimi-nal contempt. Judge Raymond Batten had dismissed the indictment as defective and as a matter of law. The appeals court affi rmed.

Al CampbellCrest Savings Bank President Jay Ford cites fi nancial news story at Greater Wildwood Chamber of Com-merce meeting Jan. 23.

Ford’s Optimistic, But Lots of InventoryBy AL CAMPBELL

WILDWOOD — Crest Savings Bank’s President and CEO Jay Ford gave his annual local fi nancial projection to the January meeting of the Greater Wildwood Chamber of Commerce.

Ford said he was “very, very optimistic of the pros-pects” of the Cape May County economy at the group’s Jan. 23 breakfast meeting.

Ford has made his fi-nancial forecast an annual event for the chamber. His predictions, have been fairly accurate, and he at-tributed much of that to “luck.”

Ford spoke after world-wide financial markets were roiled by the Dow Industrial Average, which plunged over 400 points earlier in the week, then rebounded to close 128 points under the previous close; and by action of the Federal Reserve, which trimmed, by three-quarters of a percentage point, to 3.5 percent, the prime interest rate to fan the nation’s fl ag-ging economy, and reclaim worldwide integrity of the U.S. economy.

“My personal opinion is that the markets over-reacted,” said Ford, adding he felt the matter was “a temporary situation.” Sub-sequent trading seemed to prove his point, as the Dow rose later in the week, and stock exchanges around the globe also rose in uni-son.

“It is hard to imagine

every sub-prime loan is worth nothing,” he said. “It’s a matter of working it out.”

He also added, “We have somewhat, to this point, been immune to this pro-cess.”

There is, he believes, an “overabundance of inven-tory” in the housing mar-ket, including the county market.

On the local real estate market, Ford said of Beaz-er’s The Point at Moore’s Inlet, in North Wildwood, that the project “reduced prices 20 percent up there to stimulate sales. He said of 60 units in that project, “About 25 percent have been sold.”

Of The Grand at Dia-mond Beach, currently under construction with 110-115 condo units in 12-13 stories, the project is up to its sixth fl oor, and “entry prices are around $1 million,” said Ford.“Is there a market? That is the challenge,” he added.

Of Beldon’s Coastal Col-ors project in Wildwood

Crest, he noted that 60 mid-rise units were sold, but half of the dozen single family units priced, “at the very, very high end, $1.5-$2 million,” remain for sale, Ford said.

“These are the challeng-es,” said Ford.

The Five Mile Beach real estate market slowed, according to Ford. He said in 2007 about 800 units were sold. That compared to 1,500 in 2005, and 900 units sold in 2006.

“There is a lot of inven-tory on the island for sale. If you talk to realtors, they will say things have slowed dramatically,” Ford said.

Even though sales have slowed, Ford said valuation has remained fairly even.

Of the market drop, Ford advised those with 401(k) funds “Don’t look at your statements. Look next March 31,” he urged. Still, he said, “This is more a cor-rection of what misplaced enthusiasm there was in the summer months, but it’s painful none the less.”

Ford underscored the

impact the U.S. economy has around the world, not-ing that it hinges on this nation’s because, “We are one of the richest countries in the world…As the U.S. economy goes, so goes the world economy.”

Asked whether he thought the consumer credit card and credit mar-ket crunch would impact the tourists who visit Cape May County, Ford said, “Consumer credit has al-ways been a challenge.”

He said six members of Crest’s board of direc-tors, aged from 65-85, “Just don’t understand credit card debt.” That’s because they were from a different time when debt was frowned upon, and saving was stressed over spending.

He said the average per-son applying for a loan at Crest Savings has credit card debt that ranges from $15,000 to $30,000.

“That sounds like a lot of money, but when you look at the balance sheets, it looks like the furniture loans from the old days,” said Ford.

He likened tourists’ spending to Christmas. “Everybody has Christmas, it might be at a different level, but they will have Christmas none the less. It’s true with vacations.”

Even with gasoline pric-es escalating, Ford said he remained “very, very opti-mistic of our prospects.”

Following a tour of the facility on Route 9 North in Swainton, Raff vowed to

make regular donations. “It has been a very cold

Postal Service Delivers on New Offi ceBy AL CAMPBELL

COURT HOUSE — On Jan. 22, at 615 Route 9 South, the new Court House Post Offi ce opened for business.

The opening was the reason postal employees worked throughout the Martin Luther King holi-day weekend, in order to be ready for the first postal patron on Tuesday morning.

Postmaster Rob Hudson took the Herald on a tour of that 8,000-square-foot offi ce, about 3,000 square feet of interior space than the prior facility on Jan. 24.

The offi ce serves 8,000 deliveries in the county seat and into Dennis Town-ship, he said.

In addition to deliver-ies made locally, they are also make to Whitesboro, Goshen, South Dennis, South Seaville, Swainton, Clermont, Mayville, Bur-leigh, to the Delaware Bay communities in Middle Township. Those deliveries

are made on 14 delivery routes. Helping to sort, sell and deliver are some 30 employees.

Hudson said the new offi ce is the county seat’s second “brand new offi ce.” The last new one was built in the middle 1950s at 10 South Main St. The fl agpole is still there, as is the town name, minus the ZIP code, 08210.

“That’s because they didn’t have ZIP codes when they built that one,” said Hudson.

The post offi ce shifted into “temporary” head-quarters behind Cape Sav-ings Bank at 221 North Main St. in 1981.

After 27 years in that “temporary” location, the offi ce made its move to the new location.

The four-acre site, a for-mer car dealership then a feed and garden store, will allow for growth and more parking, said Hudson. He pointed to the south wall, which would be the one to expand, if and when needed.

Features of the new of-fi ce include an additional retail window for busy times, like tax time and the holidays, 100 more post of-fi ce boxes than were avail-able in the former facility, and a more parking than the former post offi ce at 221 North Main Street.

The offi ce has two load-ing ramps to accommo-date tractor-trailer delivery trucks, which will not impact the patrons, as did the former facility.

A punch list of items remains to be completed,

and landscaping has to be fi nalized.

Concrete has been poured that will support a sign to inform residents and visitors of the post offi ce.

“That was one thing with the old post offi ce, un-less you were a resident, it was really diffi cult to fi nd,” said Hudson.

A grand opening will be announced, likely in April, according to Hudson.

Fulginiti Checks Vermont Preservation JobsCOURT HOUSE – Cape

May County Clerk Rita Marie Fulginiti traveled to northern Vermont from Jan. 7-9 to visit two fi rms performing conservation and rebinding of the coun-ty’s historical records.

Accompanying her were Diana L. Hevener and Me-lissa Jones of the County Clerk’s Offi ce.

Their fi rst appointment was with the Joseph J. Marotti Company Inc. Conservation Laboratory in Milton to see their prog-ress with the current proj-ect to restore 25 books of deeds (1863 to 1901) and one Road Book C (1854-1909).

Later that day they trav-eled to the Brown’s River Records Preservation Ser-vices in Essex where they had recently completed conservation treatments and rebinding of the Surro-gate’s Wills (1804-1890), Alms House Records of the Board of Chosen Free-holders (1821-1934) and Deeds, Surveys, Miscel-laneous Records, Mort-

gages and Earmarks of the County Clerk’s Offi ce (1695-1793).

“These fi rms have con-tracts to perform special-ized work on our county’s precious vital historical records and I went to make sure they are following the work in accordance with accepted standards for conservation and restora-tion practice,” Fulginiti explained.

Both projects include disbinding of the volumes by hand, deacidifi cation of each page, repairing tears, microfilming, scanning and rebinding.

This work is being paid by a grant from the New Jersey Public Archives Records Infrastructure Support Program (PARIS). The project at the Marotti Company is for $27,520 and the project at Brown’s River is for $18,762. Fulg-initi noted “I was pleased with the quality of the work, the handling of our records, and the old world craftsmanship I saw at both fi rms.”

County Clerk Rita Marie Fulginiti inspects Deed Book 31 with Joseph J. Marotti, president of Joseph J. Marotti Co. Inc. Conservation Laboratory in Mil-ton, Vt.

Cape May Point Fire Company’s association Presi-dent Tom Larkin, left, accepted $10,000 on behalf of the Five-Mile Run sponsored by the Cape May Point Volunteer Fire Co. from Skip Hoffman, trea-surer of the run. The check was the total proceeds of last summer’s race. Presentation was made during fi re company’s annual dinner at the Lobster House restaurant.

There used to be a skit on the television program Saturday Night Live called “Deep Thoughts.” As the fi rst month of 2008 quickly draws to a close, I genu-inely hope that any positive resolutions that you hoped to make a difference with this year didn’t already get shoved to the wayside by the tyranny of the urgent during the fi rst 30 days.

I thought I’d ask some questions to cause you to stop and make you ponder well below the surface so that you don’t give in to the temptation of wasting another 365 days on the surface- when God calls us to plunge and consider the matter of the soul.

If time really does fl y, why are we in such a hurry to rush out of what we know of now today, only to get to what we have no idea of tomorrow?

If one day we will truly miss those that we have

SPEAKING IN THE LIGHT

With Pastor Rudy

never come close enough to telling how much we appreciate them, why don’t we tell them now?

If we all agree that the power of a positive word has a healing power, why do we weakly allow a tiny cat to hold our tongue?

If bitterness is like bat-tery acid on our soul, why don’t we move towards a reconciliation that opens the door to making it bet-ter?

If the last thing you want is a ton of regret at the end of the race, why do we pick up so much of its baggage as we run?

If love is the answer, why do we leave so many pages upon the tests that life brings us blank?

If we know that hope is a life preserver, why do we withhold it from those who are drowning in a sea of doubt?

If there are so many

people we meet who are hungering and thirsting for healthy touches, why do we choose to slug instead of hug?

If we know that music is the instrument that soothes even the savage beast, why are we shouting instead of singing?

If I really believe that the only people who are failures are those who have never been free to make any mistakes, then why don’t I grant more grace to other’s errors during the game?

If I had only known that “less is genuinely more,” why didn’t I save a bundle on my haircuts especially now that I have less hair and it costs me more to get one?

If respect for others is worth its weight in gold, why am I passing out pen-nies instead of fortunes?

If God is calling to me

and inviting me to join the dance of life today, what am I doing still standing against the wall?

If when I do a random act of kindness to a total stranger, I do it unto the Lord, why am I more selfi sh than selfl ess to the people I meet on any given day?

If I had any idea that you might not make it to Christmas this year, why am I not giving you your present today?

If each and every day of my life I know that God ex-pects more from me, why am I not willing to give Him more than expected?

If so many of our ques-tions have to do with the “what ifs” of life, why don’t I just take care of what is?

If questions are the privi-lege of a seeking heart, why am I content to not raise my hand and ask more often?

As you embark into Feb-ruary, I pray you engage each and every day with all your heart, your mind, your soul and your strength. For those who live with the mindset of leaving it all on the field never have to worry about untapped potential. Go for it!

‘Go Red for Women’Set at Hospital Friday

COURT HOUSE — In recognition of the Ameri-can Heart Association’s National Wear Red Day, Cape Regional Medical Center will host several events to support the fi ght against heart disease in women and raise aware-ness on Friday.

First, beginning at 9 a.m. until noon the Medi-cal Center will offer free heart health screenings to the community in the South Lobby. Tests include blood pressure readings, cholesterol and blood sugar screenings. T h e n , at noon an educational dis-cussion, Current Concepts, Heart Disease will be pre-sented by Dr. Waisbren in Classrooms A & B on the ground level of the Medi-cal Center. This hour-long presentation will provide the jump-start needed to live a heart healthier life.

In addition to these events, the Medical Cen-

ter staff and employees will “go red” by wearing red and raising funds to support this important cause.

According to the Ameri-can Heart Association, heart disease is the No. 1 killer of American women. The Cardiac Rehabilitation Program at Cape Regional Medical Center provides year-round care for indi-viduals living with heart disease.

The medically super-vised program strives to optimize participant’s function and quality of life through delivery of the most advanced practices in rehabilitation medicine.

For more information on Cape Regional Medi-cal Center’s Cardiac Re-habilitation Program or Wear Red Day Events, call Kim Elliott, senior cardiopulmonary nurse at 609-463-2620.

Saturday & Sunday

Wildwood Catholic’s youngest fans had something to cheer about on Satur-day, Jan. 26 - the future Crusaders spent the day at a cheerleading clinic in the school’s gym, expressing their spirit with a dedicated group of Catholic’s cheer-leaders. The Peewee cheerleading clinic is a much-anticipated tradition for the lit-tle girls, who love donning ponytails for the occasion and learning all the moves from their enthusiastic coaches. Past clinics have defrayed the cost of travel to championships, but the one on Saturday, sponsored by Good Night Irene’s Brew Pub, help pay the girls’ way to cheerlead-ing camp.

After learning the basics and practic-ing a routine all morning, the girls (about 30 of them) took a break before meeting back up with their friends and coaches to perform at halftime during Catholic’s game against Philadelphia Electric. You can catch their performance online at CapeMayCountyHerald.com.

The little Crusaders join the school’s cheer-leaders in the bleachers to watch the game and cheer their team on.

Practice makes perfect.

You don’t need to go to the Big Easy for a great night on the town this week. Leg-endary reggae band, Rolly Gray and the Sunfire, and Jim Maher and friends are bringing the bash of the season to Avalon Links Restaurant, 1510 Route 9 in Swain-ton from 6-9 p.m. Friday, Feb. 1. The par-ty, hosted by The Middle Township Pan-ther Parents Booster Club will benefit the Panther Marching Band, which won first place at the Atlantic Coast Championship

this year - their 15th first place win.A $25 ticket to the Beef and Beer gets

you in on all the fun, including hot roast beef sandwiches, Jambalaya, baked ziti, salads and more, as well as fabulous raffle and door prizes, donated by Mid-dle Township businesses. A portion of the proceeds will also support the Owen Maher Scholarship Fund. For tickets or questions, contact Susan Cawley at 609-602-4760.

People helping people

Maybe you, like me, have had just about enough of pre-game analysis - all the “Can the Patriots go 19-0?” and “Whose ankle will hold up better, Plaxico’s or Brady’s?” and “Will Spagnuo-lo continue with his (so-far) successful man-to-man strategy?” And most importantly, “Will the world as we know it come to an end if my team los-es?” Our On Deck staff has much more original ideas about sports.

Senior Columnist Jim Vanore inter-viewed a pivotal “player” we rarely hear from. Maureen Cawley has the story of some small but mighty local cheerleaders

– and video as well. Go to CapeMayCounty-Herald.com and watch them in action.

There’s much more to read inside. And check “What’s On Deck” to decide where you’ll enjoy yourself this week.

Believe me, there is life after Sunday. Here’s a tip: Better prepare for Valen-tine’s Day. Look below for an original way to say “I love you” to your sweetie in next week’s On Deck.

By JIM VANORE

I’ve been following sports for a half-century, which is odd, since I’m so young. But I found out something re-cently that I never knew (hard to believe, eh?).

Super Bowl officials get rings along with the players.

“They’re participants too,” Tom Mc-Clain told me in a telephone interview earlier this month. McClain is a retired sports official who is now a supervisor of officials in the Philadelphia area.

I first met him when I was playing in the Philadelphia Police rough touch football league. He also officiated in our police softball league. That’s when he asked me if I’d be interested in becom-ing an umpire.

“You’d be good at this,” he had said.“I take enough grief from the public,”

I answered. “I don’t want to spend my days off taking more from ballplayers and fans.”

I told him I’d think about it, but that’s all I did. He, on the other hand, worked his way up in the officiat-ing hierarchy, start-ing out with sandlot sports in 1961, until he became a Division I college football of-ficial.

“I remember how it felt, standing on the

field for the start of the Air Force-Navy game in 1979 before 59,000 spectators,” he said. “It’s exciting, and you’re ner-vous, but it all goes away once the ball is kicked.”

A year later, before 107,000 at the Army-Michigan game, the pressure was ratcheted up even higher.

“You can’t even hear yourself think in that kind of environment,” he said. “That’s when you keep telling yourself, ‘Just get to the kickoff!’ After that, you just let the game play out—develop smoothly, with no hiccups.”

Hiccups are those annoying little things that guys like me label as ‘blown calls,” and no ref wants to admit to them, but they do happen.

“Some refs have a certain vanity,” Mc-Clain noted, “and they refuse to overturn a blown call. They wind up stepping on their own feet. They’re the ones that don’t move on.”

You don’t want to

Just as the players get quicker at each level, so too, do refs get better, constantly training

themselves and being trained...continued on following page

McClain advanced from sand-lot sports to high school and eventually to Division I college football.

“As you progress,” he said, “the players have more speed and more finesse. The play gets more intense.”

According to McClain, to make it all the way to the Na-tional Football League (NFL), you must have at least five years officiating at the Division I level. “To get acclimated to the large crowds.”

And, just as the players get quicker at each level, so too, do refs get better, constantly training themselves and being trained by the best—like Art McNally (su-pervisor of NFL officials), Frank Kosman (a replay official with the Atlantic Coast Conference), and Bill Reynolds (who gave a clinic on officiating at the Division I level).

“We are constantly being told to ‘let the play develop;’ and reminded that ‘people didn’t come here to see you,’” he said.

“Judgment is the number one quality a good ref must have,” he noted. “When you see an infraction, an alarm should go off in your head, but the pressure can be tremendous, especially at the Super Bowl level. You look at that flag and think, ‘I don’t want to throw one of these that turns the game around.’ No, you don’t want to screw up here!

“Those guys at the 2007 Super Bowl—one was Ron Marinucci from Cinnamin-son—they aced that game. It went beau-tifully. But don’t forget, when you get to that level, you’re the best.”

McClain made it pretty far himself, and aside from his Division I experienced,

he was in the recent movie, Invincible, a biopic about former Philadelphia Eagle

Vince Papale.“I was one of the offi-

cials (in the movie) during the game that was being played at Vet Stadium,” he said. “We were all re-tired college officials.”

But Vet Stadium was demolished before that movie was filmed. The Eagles home game se-quences were conse-quently filmed at the Uni-versity of Pennsylvania’s Franklin Field.

“We left Franklin Field on Friday after-noon and returned on Monday,” McClain explained. “When we got back, we were amazed how much the place now resem-bled Veterans Stadium. The Carpenters’ Union had worked on it all through the weekend. Those guys were amazing.”

As Super Bowl XLII approaches this weekend, the officiating team—all seven members—is already in Arizona prepar-ing for the game. They’ll go over rules, and in general get ready for the biggest game of the season, and perhaps of their respective lives.

They’ll be doing all the things that are by now second-nature to them—letting the game flow, letting each play, “kill itself,” as Art McNally always instructed them to.

“Art always cautioned us against the ‘inadvertent whistle’—the mortal sin of refereeing,” McClain said.

If there’s any game you want to play out flawlessly, it certainly is the Super Bowl.

Because they still haven’t really found a cure for hiccups.

School CountsThe big noise in the Wildwoods this

weekend came from a gala party out at Wildwood Country Club on Saturday night. Cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and Frank Bey playing the blues. All the area’s movers and shakers were there - moving and shaking.

It was a good night for a good cause. Money raised from the partygoers sup-ports the county Chamber of Commerce School Counts program. School counts more than ever in an era of globaliza-tion and a job market that demands ever more technology, decision making and communication skills.

School Counts works locally with high school students who show through their attendance and academic performance that they have the right stuff for college and the world of work. Students who earn program certificates have better chances of earning scholarships when they apply to colleges. As any parent dealing with college cost sticker shock knows, “schol-

arship” has a nice ring to it. Students and parents who want to find out more about the program, should contact their high school guidance counselor.

School Counts also works with employ-ers who enlist in the program because they know it is a good source of reliable young people to work for them. “The pro-gram,” according to Chamber Director Vicki Clark, “encourages them (students) to develop the kinds of good habits that will make them good employees and val-ued members of their communities.”

The party also raised money for the United Way’s Spirit of Volunteerism scholarship. That award, according to United Way Executive Director Suzanne Nardi, “rewards students who have given back to the community through their vol-unteer work.”

So whether it’s doing well at school or making a positive contribution in the neighborhood, young people are being noticed and rewarded for their efforts.

And those grown ups got to go out in cold January and party at a country club.

Woodbine Connection By KATHLEEN GIBSON, Herald Correspondent,

[email protected]

Busy times: from seniors to students

No more phone calls, please. The

Woodbine chapter of the AARP meets on the first Thursday of each month (Feb. 7) at noon at Woodbine Recreation Center. If you belong to the National AARP, con-sider joining the local branch. It is a bar-gain at only $3, and you will appreciate the speakers and the information you get at each meeting that can impact on your life (not to mention the snacks).

At Woodbine Elementary last week, The Sam Azeez Museum of Woodbine Heritage sponsored a play, and stu-dents from Richard Stockton College performed. They did an awesome job. It was based on a book by Shana Fogerty titled “Of a Comb, a Prayer, Sugar Cubes, Bread and Lice.” The story gives an ac-count of Shana’s conversations with her grandmother, Elizabeth Blum Goldstein, a Holocaust survivor.

Gail Rosenthal, Director of Stockton’s Holocaust Resource Center, brought the play to the school. Professor Pamela Hen-drick, wrote the play, based on the book. The fifth to eighth grade students were

mesmerized. Best of all the author of the book and the playwright were there and the children talked to them. Maggie Casey, Jane tark and Oranit Caplan were all on hand to represent the museum. This was a wonderful opportunity for the children to hear a first hand account of this horrific period in history.

About 30 Woodbine residents were on hand at the library to hear Jane Stark’s talk on Woodbine history last Tuesday. Jane told of the dream of Baron DeHirsch to teach refugees how to work the land. He started the first agricultural school. She reminded us of the great poverty and daily struggles of Woodbine’s earliest settlers.

By the way, if you haven’t visited the new library yet, stop in soon. You are in for a treat.

***The Woodbine Recreation Commission

needs volunteer coaches for the 2008 baseball season. Yes, it is that time al-ready. Needs are for tee-ball, girl’s soft-ball and boy’s baseball. If you can spare the time, call the Rec Commission at 861-2800.

Mark your calendar. March 9 is the Pol-ish Dinner at St. Casimir’s Church.

New and improved P.O.

When I arrived at the Court House Post Office on Jan. 19 with three pack-ages under my arms, the line extended to the door. That’s business as usual for the busy office. What was not business as usual was that Jan. 19 marked the last day of operation for the old, small post of-fice in the Cape Savings Bank complex. With walls stripped of the usual USPS announcements and prod-ucts, the building had a forlorn look, but not so for the employees or the cus-tomers. We had a wonderful new facility to look forward to.

No more ill-placed outdoor mailboxes. I always wondered why they were situat-ed right in front of the main door to the building. It made crossing the road dif-ficult at times and caused traffic conges-tion at others. Don’t even get me started on the doofuses who parked their vehi-cles smack dab in the way of the drive-up boxes while they conducted business inside. On one occasion, an irate individ-ual kept blasting his horn for a driver to remove his car from the illegal parking spot. He didn’t let up. None of the long line of customers dared claim doofus-ship, however. I simply left notes on a couple of offenders.

No more queues with people filling out forms and packaging boxes while they had one foot in the cramped line.

The official word from postal workers: if you were at the back counter, you were not on line. I, who always have my la-bels filled out and boxes taped before I get up to the service desk, pointed the policy out to a wom-an recently. It did not go over well. But as my mom says, “It’s not your job to teach adults manners. They should have learned them long ago.”

I can take her advice very easily now with the spacious new brick build-ing which opened up on

Jan. 22. Our favorite postal workers are still there. It’s big, beautiful, and as Rog-er said, “It still has that new car smell.” The facility has lots of counter space to use without getting in the way of people in line. There’s plenty of parking, and the drive-up boxes are placed well away from pedestrians and traffic. Other than a phone glitch requiring payment by cash only on opening day, the single design flaw I detected was the outside front door. The old building had push doors, this has pull. Often laden down with heavy boxes from my eBay sideline, push doors don’t work for me. That aside, the all-new and improved 08210 Cape May Court House Post Office rocks!

Ocean City & Upper Twp.Connection

Dennis kids do all sorts of things

We routinely hear about the exploits of

our local kids on the basketball courts, soccer fields and hockey rinks, but there’s also plenty of artistic talent in our town-ship and it’s shining through this cold, grey January.

Greta Liston, first grade teacher at Den-nis Primary School, informs me that the snowflake art and poetry you’ve enjoyed this month at the Dennisville Post Office is the work of Gail Fisher’s second grade class. Each month, a different grade dis-plays its efforts at the post office, and the second grade’s effort sent us all on a trip to winter wonderland…stamps not included.

Meanwhile, over at the Middle School, special congratulations to eighth grader Seth Ostrander who will represent the

township as he participates in the 50th annual All-South Jersey Junior High Cho-rus this weekend at Eastern Regional High School in Voorhees. Meanwhile, there’s musical talent showing at the Bishop McHugh School. The school’s choir re-cently sang at Sunday Mass at Our Lady of the Angels.

Also, auditions were held at the school earlier this month for aspiring perform-ers in grades five to eight to fill the roles for a May performance of “Annie Junior,” based on the Broadway hit, “Little Orphan Annie.”

More local performance talent is on dis-play today at Bishop McHugh as students in grades Pre-K through second present their interpretation of the Bible story of “Jonah and the Splendiferous Whale.” The morning show is for local senior citizens and students. Tonight’s program is for families and friends.

Okay, let’s not forget the jocks. A belated congratulations go out to the

Dennis Blue street hockey team. The club won the 7-9 division in the county league. Under coach Mike Cresta, and his assis-tants, Mike Lagana, Steve and Tome Arm-strong, the team went 8-1 and shut down Middle, 3-0, to take the crown. Players on that squad were: Sierra and Stephen Arm-strong, Bob Cline, AJ Cresta, Pat Daniels, Zachary Grencavich, Matt Harris, Jenna Herlihy, Colin and Riley Hofmann, Sammy Lagana, Mike Paluch, and Ben Sheik.

Kids ages seven-12 can practice for their chance to be next year’s heroes at pick-up games every Thursday at 6 p.m. at the rec rink. Players need to bring their own equipment, including skates, sticks, helmets, face shields, and pads.

How about some news about our older young people? Do you have kids in col-lege that you’d like to brag about? Your young scholar make the dean’s list or score the winning touchdown in one of our 3,000 holiday football bowl games? Let me know by e-mail.

On a rollThings are starting to roll now. The

slowdown after the holidays is coming to an end with a bunch of local events and activities in the works. First up, Avalon baseball and t-ball registrations are be-ing taken until the firm deadline of Feb. 29 at Community Hall. Due to roster limi-tations try-outs may be necessary. (Prac-ticing on your Nintendo Wii might not be a bad idea.) Fee is $25. Any parent wish-ing to assist coaching may contact the rec office at 967-3066.

Next up. It may seem a long ways off, but the Avalon Performing Arts Council is seeking artists for its 21st annual Art

Show and Sale on June 22 at Avalon Com-munity Hall. The show features original work in oil/acrylic, watercolor, works on paper, and photography, so start work-ing on your masterpieces. Four awards will be given in each category ranging from $250 - $75. Entry fee is $75 per 12-foot by three-foot space. For a registra-tion form or other information please call 967-8399 or 967-3066.

Tax time is at hand and so are trained community volunteers to assist senior citizens wade through the paperwork. The IRS Volunteer Return Preparation Pro-gram will be offered at the Avalon Library on Friday afternoons from 1 to 4 p.m. be-ginning Feb. 8. Just call the desk at 967-7155 to schedule an hour-long appoint-

ment. Free electronic filing is available to all who participate.

Finally, there are some new faces at the Avalon Library. Linda Duffy, with extensive administrative and marketing experience behind her, has accepted the position of administrative assistant. Pa-tricia Wilk, a retired high school guidance teacher replaces Chris Pidgeon at the circulation desk. Chris returned to his hometown in North Jersey for a full-time position. And Bill Silcox takes the post vacated by Jim Cavalieri who returned to ACCC.

If you have anything you deem news-worthy, don’t hesitate to email me. I’d love to hear from you.

Local author with a French connection

Patricia MacDonald, whose books are regularly on the bestseller list in France, is an 18-year resident of Cape May. Her first book was “published 30 years ago,” and since then “I have written and published 14 books, all suspense novels,” she said recently at the Upper Cape Branch Library in Petersburg. MacDonald was there for a lecture and book signing, and many of her fans were there to greet her.

Becoming a writer “seemed like a pre-posterous idea when I was young, but I al-ways liked to read,” MacDonald said. Her dad “loved to read” and encouraged her to do so while growing up in Greenwich, Connecticut. A 1970 graduate of Upsala College in East Orange, NJ, MacDonald received her master’s degree in journal-ism from Boston University in 1974.

MacDonald worked in New York City as an editor for soap opera magazines when she was in her 20s. “I watched soaps all day and interviewed the stars.” Asked if she still watches them, MacDonald re-plied, “Yes, I couldn’t break the habit. I still watch ‘All My Children.’”

MacDonald’s greatest success has

been in France, and she has had four of her books made into television films. She feels her books are popular there be-cause “the French love a good mystery, a psychological explanation, stories about everyday life, and they don’t require a surfeit of violence or romance.”

“Secret Admirer” won the literary prize at the Deauville Film Festival in France in 1997. Another of her books, “The Un-forgiven,” was nominated for an Edgar Award which is given out by the Mystery Writers of America. “Stolen in the Night” is her latest book, and she is traveling to Paris to promote it.

MacDonald has been married for 24

years to a Philadelphia bookstore owner and author who writes “mysteries with a comic edge.” They have one daughter.

One of MacDonald’s many fans at the library was Karen Weis, President of the Cape May County Branch of the American Association of University Women, who is part of a group of French-speaking wom-en that meets regularly to read and dis-cuss, en français, MacDonald’s books. If you would like to join the group, appelez-la s’il vous plaît à 609-889-0164.

By RON BURCZEWSKI, Herald Correspondent, [email protected] Sea Isle City ConnectionSinging legends

Several years ago my sister and I had the pleasure of visiting Graceland in Memphis, Tenn. I was never a huge Elvis fan, but my sister apparently was, and we had a great time seeing his home and all his memorabilia.

This led to a discussion as to whom would be considered the greatest singer or singing group of all time. Let’s face it, Elvis was “The King,” a title never be-stowed on any other American. Who else would be in that category?

We decided to conduct a survey among friends and relatives. We were looking for who was the most popular and had a large impact on music, not necessarily a personal favorite or the best voice. In other words, a “legend.”

The consensus was the following three,

in any order: Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, and the Beatles.

Sinatra topped the charts for a long time. He was the heartthrob of the bob-bysoxers in the forties. He was known as Ol’ Blue Eyes, and Chairman of the Board, up to his passing in the 90s. Most of his songs are classics, including “My Way”; “New York, New York”; and “Strang-ers in the Night.” He had that distinctive baritone voice and I always liked how he clearly articulated every lyric.

Elvis had the girls screaming in the 50s with his gyrations and sideburns. The King of Rock and Roll had over 150 gold selling records and albums. My sister’s favorites are “Love Me Tender” and “Blue Christmas.” He still has hundreds of fan clubs today.

The Beatles with their mop hairdos led the British Invasion in the 60s. They broke up after only about 10 years but were

very innovative, going from “I Want To Hold Your Hand” to “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Heart Club Band.” They are credited with sales of one billion discs and tapes.

Some Sea Isle seniors favored Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole and Kate Smith; my barber liked Perry Como. Also men-tioned were Barbara Streisand and John-ny Mathis.

My brother-in-law gives it to Judy Gar-land, hands-down, while my younger sis-ter chose Billy Joel, and my cousin picked Buddy Holly.

Groups receiving votes were the Su-premes, Temptations, Beach Boys, and the Rolling Stones. Patsy Kline and John-ny Cash represented country music.

It’s been a fun survey. Maybe your choices are here, maybe not. I welcome your opinion so feel free to respond by email. No votes for Brittney Spears, though.

Activities galore to keep you busy

The big game will finally be here Sun-day. I can’t wait to watch a good foot-ball game, see some funny commercials, and make some new memories with my friends.

Did you know there are some great sporting events for you and your kids to participate in, here in Lower Township?

For all you who have children at Rich-ard M. Teitelman Junior High School, you have an opportunity to get out and exer-cise every first Wednesday of the month. Physical education teachers Sally Yerk, John Wilsey, Mark Conley, and Lindsay Mastalski do an excellent job with RMT’s Family Fitness Night.

The first Wednesday of every month from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., RMT students and their families come to the gym at RMT and burn off some of that winter time blues energy. Usually there are two games for everyone to play. The first cus-tomarily is basketball, while the second activity differs every month. At the most recent FFN in January, volleyball was the second activity. The coordinators are very

Hail to the chief

A Cape May institution chose a lifetime county resident as its newest leader.

The Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts (MAC) installed Diane Hutchinson as president of its board of trustees at its January meeting.

MAC is a multi-faceted non-profit orga-nization, formed in 1970, that promotes the cultural enrichment of greater Cape May for its residents and visitors.

Hutchinson and her husband Ed both retired from Bell Atlantic over 10 years ago but are still pretty busy. They are innkeepers at a historic Cape May bed and breakfast, The Fairthorne, located across from the public library at 111 Ocean Street.

She said there was more to the inn-keeper business than just sitting behind the desk and waiting for guests to show up.

“It’s a lot of work but we love it,” she said.

In addition to her duties at the inn and the presidency at MAC, Diane also sits on the city’s zoning board and Ed is also very active in the Kiwanis Club both lo-cally and nationally.

I don’t know what your definition of “retired” is, but they don’t sound very “retired” to me.

Diane grew up in Stone Harbor and moved to Cape May in 1978. Her children went to Lower Cape May schools and some still live in the area.

The Hutchinsons became involved in MAC when they purchased the Fairthorne in 1992, partnering with the group in house tours and other events.

“MAC was very important to us when we were starting out,” Diane said. “They helped establish the Fairthorne.”

She said the number of tourists MAC has brought to town over the years is amazing.

Her motto today remains the same as it did then, “Open your doors to MAC and they will bring the people to you.”

Diane progressed from a MAC business member to a board member around five years ago and was named vice president last year.

Although she couldn’t really explain how she came to be president, she was glad to be in a position to help the orga-nization continue its good works.

“I hope I can fill the big shoes past president Ed Henry has left,” she said of the owner of Henry’s on the Beach and Harpoon Henrys. “He is a real commu-nity leader and a positive figure for Cape May.”

President Hutchinson wanted to leave readers with one message:

“Join MAC and reap the benefits,” she said.

With a membership of over 5,000, a paid staff of 160 and some 300 volun-teers, MAC offers a year-round calendar of tours and special events that serves more than 380,000 people each year.

For more information, call MAC at (609) 884-5404 or visit www.capemaymac.org.

Three Charged in Woman’s Death

RIO GRANDE — Three persons were arrested after a 22-year-old woman was found dead in a Route 47 motel on Jan. 27.

According to a joint press release issued by Cape May County Prosecutor Robert Taylor and Middle Town-ship Police Chief Joseph Evangelista, Brittany Dew-ysockie of the 1400 block, Route 47 South here, was found unresponsive after a 9:10 p.m. report from the Shelton Motel, 1410 Route 47 South.

Patrol offi cers responded, as did the Middle Township Rescue Squad and Medic 9 paramedics. Attempts to revive Dewysockie were unsuccessful, and she was pronounced dead at 9:31 p.m.

As a result of her death, the County Prosecutor’s Of-fi ce Major Crime and Crime Scene Units were sum-moned, as were members of the Middle Township Police Department’s Major Crime Unit and Southern Regional Medical Examiner’s Offi ce to investigate the circum-stances surrounding the death.

As a result of that investi-gation, Thomas Liston, 28, Pamela Kemper, 31, and James Doonan, 48, all of the 1400 block Route 47 South, were charged with endan-

gering an injured victim, a crime of the third degree; hindering apprehension, a crime of the third degree; conspiracy, a crime of the third degree; and obstruct-ing the administration of law, a fourth degree crime.

Investigators found that the defendants, all of whom were acquaintances of Dew-ysockie, had failed to render aid to her after she allegedly ingested illicit narcotics and then became unre-sponsive.

Further investigation into the circumstances surround-ing the death continues with the possibility of addi-tional criminal charges.

An autopsy and associ-ated toxicological examina-tion will be performed Jan. 29 by the Southern Regional Medical Examiner’s Offi cer to determine the cause and manner of Dewysockie’s death.

Those convicted of a crime of the third degree can be incarcerated for up to fi ve years in state prison, and convictions of crimes of the fourth degree up to 18 months.

Both Taylor and Evan-gelista recognize the coop-erative efforts of all police and emergency medical personnel involved in the investigation, according to a release.

Police Seek Suspect In Burger King Robbery

RIO GRANDE — An armed robbery of the Rio Grande Burger King restau-rant, 1405 Route 47, was first reported by burglar alarm, then a 9-1-1 call to Middle Township Police Department on Jan. 28 at 6:24 a.m.

Upon arrival of police at the scene, it was learned that two employees had arrived to open the store for the day. As they un-locked the door, a black male subject approached from behind, armed with a handgun and forced both subjects into the store, ac-cording to police.

The gunman then in-structed the employees to go to the area where the safe is located. At that time the female employee was able to get away and fl ed the store via the rear door on foot, which set off the burglar alarm, police said.

That female employee then ran to a nearby gas sta-tion to summon help. The male employee remained in the store with the gunman. When the alarm sounded, the gunman fled on foot running west on Walsh

Avenue to Route 9 and was last sighted in the area of the Rio Mall.

Middle Township Police, Lower Township Police and Cape May County Sheriff’s Department K9 officers searched the area without results. No money was taken during the incident and no one was injured.

The suspect was de-scribed as a black male with a dark skin complexion, late 20s or early 30s, thin build, height of approximately 5 feet 11 inches.

He was wearing a blue-gray hooded sweatshirt, black parachute style pants, with what appeared to be white paint splatters on them. The suspect wore gloves and was armed with an automatic style hand-gun.

Anyone with information about this robbery is asked to contact Middle Township Police at 609-465-8700 or to contact the Cape May County Crime Stoppers organization.

Patrol Officer Jennifer Moore and Detective Al-lan McClure investigated the case.

PUBLIC NOTICE

STREET & UTILITY RECONSTRUCTION OF SEAVIEW AVENUE, PHASE 1SEAVIEW AVENUE BETWEEN CRESSE AVENUE AND FERN ROAD

BOROUGH OF WILDWOOD CREST, CAPE MAY COUNTY, NJ

Residents and property owners of and visitors to the Borough of Wildwood Crest are hereby noti� ed street and utility reconstruction will commence on or about February 4, 2008 on Seaview Avenue between Cresse Avenue and Fern Road. The construction activity is anticipated to last for approximately sixteen (16) weeks. The work includes the replacement of the existing sanitary sewer mains and laterals, replacement of the complete storm sewer system, replacement of water mains and services, replacement of curbs, gutters, driveway aprons, areas immediately adjacent to the curb (between the curb and sidewalk), complete reconstruction of the roadway and striping improvements. During the construction period this section of Seaview Avenue or portions thereof will be closed to traf� c and access will be limited to emergency vehicles and equipment. Traf� c will be detoured around the construction zone. Construction activity will generally be limited to between the hours of 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM Monday through Saturday. Property owners on this section of Seaview Avenue should expect inconveniences accessing their properties during construction hours; however, the Borough’s contractor is committed to completing all work professionally and expeditiously. Should you have any questions pertaining to the construction work please contact the Borough Engineer, Van Note – Harvey Associates, at (609) 465-2600.

Moreover, property owners are hereby advised that unfortunately during street and utility reconstruction work, water lines may be disturbed resulting in rusty water (similar result that occurs during hydrant � ushing). Property owners will receive advance notice from the contractor of any and all scheduled water shut downs and the public should expect rusty water following said shutdowns. In addition, it is likely the vibration and impact of the construction activity alone may cause disturbance of water lines resulting in occasional rusty water. During the construction period property owners are encouraged to frequently verify the condition of domestic water supply by running cold water from a faucet prior to turning hot water on in order to prevent potential debris from entering your hot water heater and to avoid using rusty or discolored water for any other activities.

The Board of Commissioners of the Borough of Wildwood Crest apologize in advance for any inconveniences the construction work may cause, but kindly request your patience, cooperation and understanding while we continue our aggressive street and utility infrastructure improvements program.

Fixing a Broken WindowOne of my favorite things about living in Cape May County is all

the water surrounding us. Perhaps it’s the contrast with growing up in the desert of New Mexico that makes it so easy to take pleasure in. The beauty of this county is just the icing on an already delicious cake. We live in a wonderful state and country whose successes have never before been seen on this scale in human history.

Of course, we have our problems. But “let not your heart be troubled” because problems have solutions. When we see the “broken windows” in our communities and decide to fi x them, the communities remain safe and enjoyable places to call home. If they’re not fi xed, however, soon there are so many of them that people become cynical and despondent, feeling there is nothing they can do about it. So I’m doing what I feel is my part with this column and pointing out a broken window that has been caused

by the few within law enforcement thinking they are exempt from following our laws.

==========… this state and this government

belong to the people, therefore I fol-lowed him.

==========

We all remember the tragic death of the two Becker sisters on Old Tuckahoe Road in Marmora in September 2006. State Trooper

Robert Higbee has been indicted for their deaths, as he was alleg-edly traveling faster than 75 in a 35 mph zone, ran a stop sign, and struck the side of their minivan. Jacqueline was 17 and her sister Christina was 19. It was about 10 p.m., and they had gone to the store for milk. This could be a case of lawlessness; the courts will decide. A few months later, 81-year-old Henry Jackson was killed by a Hamilton Township police offi cer that was traveling 90 in a 50 mph zone, 15 mph faster than allowed for even the most urgent situations. The township’s response policy allows offi cers to travel no more than 25 mph above the limits on primary and secondary roads, such as Route 50, where it is 50 mph, unless granted explicit approval of the shift supervisor or offi cer in charge.

I wish these offi cer speedings were rare occurrences but I’m afraid they are not, as I frequently observe them. Traveling north on Route 55 the other day, an unmarked police car zoomed past me with neither lights nor sirens on. After I did a double-take and real-ized it was not a speeding citizen but “the law” fl ying by, I trailed him. His speed? Just guess – no, not 80, not 85 and not even 95 mph but a shocking 100 mph. When I called into the appropriate offi ces to report this, I was questioned just how I knew the speed of the vehicle. I answered this state and this government belong to the people, therefore I followed him.

No one person is above the law and that is one of many things that makes our land great. Let us fi x this broken window to prevent such lawless mentality from spreading.

Cianci Missed It Autocrat Increases My Tolerance

By JOE ZELNIK

Midway down the third page of my list of faults is “coffee snob.”

No Maxwell House for me. No Chock Full o’Nuts.This is not to suggest I was never aware of those brands. Heck,

at one time I survived nicely on Instant Nescafe. You don’t miss what you haven’t had.

Many of the customers in my dad’s small grocery store 50 years did not speak perfect English. Nowadays I guess they’d never be served a cheese steak at Geno’s Steaks in Philadelphia.

The customers would call in their grocery orders and my dad or I would deliver them.

One lady always ordered “One pound coffee, San and Chase-born.” It became a running gag, the phrase I would use decades later whenever I called my dad.

I’m not sure when or where it was that I discovered Green Mountain coffee. Suddenly nothing else would do and I began tilting my head back ever so slightly, my nose in the air as though anyone else was slightly beneath me, standing in a hole they had probably dug with their own hands.

Green Mountain, of Waterbury, Vermont, has it all. Want your coffee grown in Latin America, Af-rica, Hawaii, wherever? Organic. Estate grown. This Christmas, one family member gave us Green Mountain coffee. Another gave us Autocrat.

What?Autocrat coffee, a brand that is revered, we now learn, in Rhode

Island and southeast Massachusetts.It is an unfortunate name. I see Autocrat and I think Automat.

Autocrat was founded in 1895 and is still owned by the fourth generation of the Frank Field Company. He got the name from a series in the Atlantic Monthly titled “The Autocrat of the Break-fast Table.”

Autocrat is also the world’s leading producer of coffee syrup, the main ingredient in coffee milk, the offi cial state drink of Rhode Island. Our relatives gave us a bottle of that, too.

Green Mountain comes in a beautiful green bag. Autocrat, of Lincoln, R.I., comes in an ugly yellow can. Green Mountain has a catalog that makes you drool and a thorough Web site. Autocrat has neither.

The Christmas gifts gave this alleged coffee connoisseur the opportunity to compare Autocrat coffee, made from “choice coffee beans grown in the high mountain regions of Central and South America,” with Green Mountain’s “Organic National Wildlife” whose beans were “grown under a canopy of native trees that provide vital habitat for wildlife.”

What a pleasant surprise. The two were as different as Cate Blanchett and Kate Smith.

There is a rough, tough, addictive touch to Autocrat. It grabs you by the throat and defi es you to stop with just one cup. You may notice a burning sensation in your esophagus a couple hours after your second cup. “Give me a cup of Autocrat and a Prilosec” is sometimes heard in Rhode Island.

There is an unavoidable Autocrat ambi-ence. Use the cup with the coffee stains on the bottom. Autocrat won’t care. Leave your spoon in the cup and let it hit you in the nose.

One sip of Autocrat and I wanted to say to my wife, “Can I have a piece of apple pie with this?”

I felt I should be sitting on a stool at the counter of a dockside diner in Rhode Island. A half-dozen cats would be looking in the window, expectantly.

Former Providence Mayor Vincent Cianci, on parole, would be sitting on a stool alongside me, the electronic tracking bracelet on his ankle jingling.

“Ever try my marinara sauce?” he asked.“Actually, I did once,” I said.

“Like it?” he asked.“Very good, but pricey,” I said.He scowled.“You know what I missed most

in the slammer?” said the former mayor.“Women?” I asked.“Autocrat coffee,” he answered.The mayor’s MySpace page proclaims, “I’m Back!” and lists

2,572 “friends.” The FBI is probably tapping the phone lines of every one of them.

Around us, mostly fi shermen would be talking about the catch, most of them in Italian or Portuguese. A number of them would be tossing back a glass of grappa with their Autocrat.

Green Mountain comes in everything from its own “breakfast blend” to Southern pecan, wild mountain blueberry, gingerbread, etc.

Autocrat comes in Autocrat.Green Mountain is “smooth, sweet and engaging.” Autocrat

has a “distinctive, full-bodied fl avor unlike other brands.”Green Mountain’s prices vary greatly, going as high as $17.95

but averaging $8.49. Autocrat costs $60 for a case of 12.Now I have become more tolerant, more understanding. I

have come to accept that there are different coffees for different people, different times, different places, different situations. Thus Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts co-exist in Rio Grande and McDonald’s adds coffee bars.

Gwyneth Paltrow used to bring Brad Pitt a cup of Green Moun-tain in the morning. Angelina Jolie brings him Autocrat.

Answers Wildwood’s Wood Dilemma To The Editor:

I have a friend, John Hassay, who is a local woodworker and mills his own wood. Both of us are educated, hard-working, and environmentally conscious.

We have been following the Wildwood Board-walk issue closely, and have each sent e-mails to the city manager regarding a possible solution to the wood problem they have.

They have been looking for wood to replace damaged sections of the boardwalk. It is our understanding that the black locust is very dif-fi cult to fi nd and maybe not feasible for a project like this.

Hassay was directly responsible for the reno-vation at Congress Hall in Cape May. He does amazing work with wood, and uses local trees,

(oak, pine, etc...) which he mills himself, for many of his projects. He also recycles wood that others would normally throw away.

Hassay would be willing to mill local oak or pine, and supply it to Wildwood at a discounted price, in order to solve their wood problem.

This would make an excellent solution to Wildwood’s dilemma. They could use local re-sources, get a high-quality product, and get it at a discounted rate whenever they need it.

The Herald has the power to make this happen. We have tried to contact Wildwood city offi cials, but to no avail.

Please help to make this happen. It’s a situation that works for everyone.

COMPASSPOINTS...By AL CAMPBELL

N

S

W E

One would have thought by now all the cock-eyed optimism would have been drained from my system; still, I truly believed that 1,000 people would crowd the Middle Township Performing Arts Centers Jan. 19 to hear what Gov. Jon Corzine had to say about toll hikes and paying down the state’s debt, then give him a piece of their mind.

How often does the average citizen get the gover-nor’s ear?

Boy was I wrong! Someone ought to make a big sign and pin it to my backside, “Kick me!”

Yes, about 500 attended, which isn’t bad for a cold January Satur-day, but I suppose if Homer Simp-son were the featured speaker there would have been standing room only.

Where were the other 500? Curled up in front of the fire, eagerly waiting to Spout Off about the plan they did not care to learn about in person no doubt.

If nothing more stems from that afternoon in the presence of the Garden State’s chief executive, I will give the man an “A” for effort, and an “A plus” for communicating.

All that has already been lost, or so it seems, in the fl ap over two arrested men who were told they could not bring signs into the center. Dissent is part of the democratic process, and the judgment to have them arrested was poor at best, but hindsight can win hockey and football games the next day.

Given that the world is fi lled with people willing to do unthinkable things, to err on the side of caution was likely the best path at the time, questionable as it might seem.

Back to Corzine’s communications skills for a mo-ment.

He entered a room with four reporters and as many photographers for a briefi ng on what he’d say in the public town hall session. When he was through with the media, the Middle Township Board of Education was ushered into the same room. There, he explained to them his proposals. They told him the pitfalls of fi ve years of level state funding, and prudence in spend-ing (i.e. reducing teachers, increasing class size, and cutting other expenses), meant the 2 percent increase in state funding would not be much help to district taxpayers.

He told them it was the fi rst time he was hearing some of the problems they were detailing.

At least two members of the board, Republicans, were thoroughly impressed with the way the man that neither had voted for, was trying to rectify a problem not of his making.

If anything could be stated about the Corzine visit, it would be that it was a victory for communications. That, you see, is the fi rst step to getting to the root of any problem. If people cannot or will not talk, the problems are never corrected.

As Corzine and any honest person will admit, the fi scal dilemma of the Garden State did not happen on one man’s watch, nor did it happen under a Democrat of Republican administration. Both parties had a hand in the making of this black fi nancial hole that our chil-dren and grandchildren will be climbing out of when we are too feeble to care, if we are here at all.

Blind opposition won’t work, Corzine said that, too, in so many words. If you hate what he proposes, bring forth a concrete plan to pay down the debt. He’s open to all suggestions, and that was proven by his taking of some off-the-wall queries asked by the public at the town hall meeting.

Strange as those questions might have been, I credit those questioners for attending, for taking time to attend, for standing up and asking the governor a question.

Oh, that 500 more would have done the same.

Our Readers WriteReceives Eye-Opener at Governor’s Meeting To The Editor:

What an eye opener I received while attending Gov. Corzine’s town hall-style meeting Jan. 19.

I approached the sidewalk leading to Middle Town-ship’s Performing Arts Center, only to see a large crowd of Middle Township police offi cers surrounding a man holding a sign declaring, “No Toll Hikes…Repudiate New Jersey’s Unconstitutional Debt.”

I watched in disbelief as the police offi cers took away his sign, handcuffed him, and hauled him away in a police car. What has happened to our First Amend-ment rights?

Once inside, over half of the two-hour long meeting was used by the governor to cram his proposal to hike New Jersey’s highway tolls by 50 percent every four years in order to pay down some of the state’s $33 billion in bonded debt, the result of increased state spending by our Democratic governors McGreevey, Codey, and Corzine.

Those questioning the governor’s plan brought up a

number of good points: the violation of federal law which prohibits the raising of tolls restricting the fl ow of com-merce, the unconstitutionality of requiring taxpayers to pay for tax increases that they did not vote for, the added fi nancial burden on middle class families from rising com-muting expenses and the increased cost of services and goods that the additional tolls will undoubtedly cause, and the most obvious answer to simply cut out of control state spending.

Questioners were not given the opportunity to respond to the governor’s long-winded, rhetorical answers, un-doubtedly designed to limit the number of questions and lull the audience to sleep.

Despite countless phone calls and over 10,000 sig-natures from New Jersey residents requesting that he accept the $914,495 in free federal Title V Abstinence funding designed to curb teen pregnancy, the governor has refused a meeting with New Jersey’s Abstinence Co-alition, “Wise to Wait,” so I took the opportunity to ask him at the meeting.

For the past nine years, the eight counties (including Cape May) that have enjoyed successful Title V abstinence programs have seen an average 30 percent decrease in teen pregnancy rates which costs New Jersey taxpayers over $167 million annually.

Our governor has falsely stated that the Title V federal guidelines prohibited schools from teaching contraceptive information and violated New Jersey core curriculum standards, and at the meeting he even had the audacity to credit comprehensive sex education program with the reduction in teen pregnancy.

While we are fortunate in our community to have schools, which encourage abstinence, most comprehen-sive sex education programs merely mention abstinence and promote contraception and since their institution in 1973, teen pregnancy rates skyrocketed.

Since 1991 when federal abstinence funding began, there has been a 43 percent decrease in teen births to 15-17 year olds, despite a 25 percent increase in that age population and the Centers for Disease Control attribute 67 percent of teen birth reductions to fewer teens being sexually active.

Fiscal common sense would point to reducing state spending and the acceptance of the Title V abstinence funding, but our governor seems to prefer increasing the fi nancial burden of the middle class until we can no longer afford to live here.

O’Reilly Says ‘There Are No Homeless Vets’ By JACK FICHTER

Bill O’Reilly, Fox News talk show host, insisted on his Jan. 4 broadcast there are no home-less veterans in America.

Presidential candidate John Edwards has reported in speeches, “Tonight, 200,000 men and women, who wore our uniform proudly and served this country coura-geously as veterans, will go to sleep under bridges and on grates.”

O’Reilly replied, “ Ah, come on, the only thing sleeping under a bridge is that guy’s brain.”

O’Reilly repeated his state-ment about no homeless vets during a radio interview on Jan. 16. He later said, “they may be out there, but there is not many of them.”

The truth, according to the National Alliance to End Home-lessness, using data from the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Census Bureau, found about 195,827 veterans were home-less on any given night in 2006. That was an increase of 0.8 percent from 194,254 in 2005.

The Veterans Administration spends about $265 million each year on programs for home-less veterans.

O’Reilly said that he couldn’t fi nd any homeless veterans. To prove O’Reilly wrong on the issue, filmmaker Robert Greenwald visited U.S. Vets in Inglewood, Calif., the largest non-profi t organization in the nation dedicated to helping home-less and at-risk veterans with temporary housing, counseling, and employment as-sistance. He found 500 homeless veterans at the facility.

“I talked to over a dozen homeless vets, some who had served as far back as the Korean War, and showed them the clips of O’Reilly denying or dismissing their exis-tence. The reactions to the clips were quite similar — a shaking of the head in disbelief, a derisive chuckle or snort, and a deep sigh when the videos were over. Some of the veterans couldn’t believe that anyone could be so clueless and naïve, while others wondered why O’Reilly hadn’t bothered to do any research before making such a dubious claim,” said Greenwald.

“I can’t imagine what it’s like to have sacrificed so much in service to your country, then to come home to fi nd that the country you served has no interest in re-integrating you back into society. Then you can’t get a place to live because you don’t have a job, and you can’t get a job

because you don’t have a place to live. Then some idiot with a TV show gets up in front of an audience of millions and says that you do not exist, twice,” continued Greenwald.

Homeless veteran Fletcher C. Hicklen said he “slept under a bridge many a night.”

“There’s a lot of homeless veterans out there and anybody that would even imply that’s there no homeless veterans is out

of touch with reality,” said Levi Cunningham, a homeless Viet-nam veteran.

He invited O’Reilly to spend a night sleeping outdoors.

And while we are dealing with wrong information, let’s deal with an e-mail floating around the nation particularly from church member to church member claiming Barack Obama is a radi-cal Muslim who will not recite

the Pledge of Allegiance, who attended a radical Muslim school in Jakarta, and was sworn into offi ce with his hand on the Koran in-stead of the Bible. None of those accusations are correct.

In truth, he attended a public school in Indonesia where his father worked for a U.S. oil company. Obama also spent two years in Catholic school. He has never been a Muslim and has attended the United Church of Christ for more than 20 years.

An April 2004 Chicago Sun-Times article noted: “Obama is unapologetic in saying he has a “personal relationship with Jesus Christ.” As a sign of that relationship, he says, he walked down the aisle of Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ in response to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s altar call one Sunday morning about 16 years ago.”

Another claim in the e-mail, when Obama was sworn in as a senator, he used the Koran instead of a Bible. That is untrue. It was Minnesota Congressman Keith El-lison used the Koran, not Obama.

Obama does recite the Pledge of Alle-giance, another untrue rumor debunked.

Once again the misinformation machines known as Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck and a number of other broadcasters are spreading lies in the name of all that is holy and conservative.

Unfortunately, a large number of Ameri-can neither has the time or initiative to question misinformation coming to them from a number of sources.

Could we please have an honest election with no more hanging chads, electronic voting machine malfunctions and outright lies?

Random notes and sketches from my reverse ‘bucket list’ (Or, also, things that I don’t want to do before I die) are hereby note:

No. 4: I don’t want to accidentally walk into a convenience store while it is being robbed, and then later, have the elderly, traumatized clerk mistakenly identify me as one the suspects, which results in me being sentenced to a maximum-security prison. Because once in prison, I’ll bet members of the Nuestra Familia, a Mexi-can gang, or the Aryan Brotherhood, a white-supremacist gang, will force me to become a “punk.” And after that, it’s only a matter of time before they start selling me on the open market for two cartons of Kools and a Zip-lock bag full of prison wine, also known as hooch or pruno.

No. 12: I don’t want to receive a phone call from a fi eld producer for ‘The Maury Povich Show” breathlessly explaining to me that I have been selected to appear on a future segment called, extreme make-overs. But then, once I get to the taping, and I’m out on stage, Povich explains to me that I am in fact not here for a make-over, rather someone very close to me has a secret to tell.

And I’m all like, “What? Huh?” And that’s when my girlfriend of two months comes out on stage and says, “Jeff, you know I love you. But I have something I need to tell you.” And I’m all, “What the heck’s going on, Suzie?” And she’s all, “My names not, Suzie. It’s Dale. And I’m a neo-Nazi clairvoyant pre-op tyranny from Mars.”

No. 9: I don’t want to go camping for the weekend with some old friends from

high school, and then, while I’m out, being the nice guy trying to gather fi rewood, or scout a lake to do some fi shing, I end up being abducted by a deranged lumber-jack who forces me back to his secret underground torture chamber. Moreover, once

I’m back at psycho Paul Bunyan’s macabre death pit, I don’t want him to chop off my fi ngers in order to make his twisted version of pigs-in-a-blanket, either.

No. 28: I don’t want to eat a Value Basket Combo meal from Long John Silvers.

No. 16: I don’t want to take a vacation to South America, explore the vast ex-otic rainforest, contemplate the mysterious riddles of Machu Picchu, soak in the sun and fun along the famed Brazilian beaches...only to return to the United States 10 days later with 35 cocaine-fi lled balloons in my stomach, because some Colombian narco-terrorist threatened the lives of my entire family if I refused.

No. 19: I don’t want to be a performer in a north Georgia Appalachian moun-tain community theater groups original production of “American Gladiators: The Musical.’

No. 8: I don’t want to have to undergo emergency brain-surgery in Turkmenistan. Nor do I want to receive a blood transfusion in Haiti. Come to think of it, I really don’t ever want to go to either Turkmenistan or Haiti.

No. 11: I don’t want to wake up one day feeling so empty and lost that, by nightfall, I board a bus headed out west. And once I reach the west, I don’t want to aimlessly travel around without any sense of purpose or meaning – until a chance encounter at a soup-kitchen leads to the meeting of a charismatic gentleman named, Alex.

After an engaging 20-minute conversa-tion with Alex, I don’t want him to offer me a free place to stay at his communal farmhouse in the country.

Things I Don’t Want to Do Before I Die

Compliments StaffAt Cape RegionalTo The Editor:

We very recently buried my father. He died at Cape Regional Medical Center.

Unfortunately our family has had our recent share of hospital stays. I am writing to compliment the medical team at Cape Regional. I compare them to our experi-ences in northern New Jersey where we lived prior to moving here.

While nothing could be done to save my 90-year-old father who had longstanding serious medical issues, the staff handled him with care, dignity, respect and profes-sionalism.

It had been my experience in the past that I had to chase doctors and nurses to get updates, but that was not the case here. I received several calls at home throughout his stay providing updates.

Doctors made it a point to be accessible either by call-ing me at home or making it a point to see me when I was visiting my father.

I especially want to thank Cheryl in ER, Chris and Stephanie on the second fl oor and Dr. William Bradway. Most of all I want to express my gratitude to Dr. Gene Payumo who checked on my father multiple times daily and Joe Kraft in Critical Care for their sensitive and compassionate caring of my father.

I assume these fi ne people are indicative of the quality of medical care that is performed at that hospital. They handled their duties with a sense of humanity that has given my family some comfort.

By LAUREN SUIT

WILDWOOD — Looking for a new place to grab a bite or enjoy a cocktail?

Pacifi c Avenue may be the street to visit.

As early as this summer, developers hope to open the doors of four new restau-rants on this city’s main business street.

At the city’s Planning Board meet-ing Jan. 22, busi-ness owner Wally Lerro presented his plan for a two-fl oor restaurant and bar that will replace a closed carpet store and photo business at 3401 Pacifi c Av-enue.

Lerro said his new venture, dubbed The Deck on Holly Beach, would contain a “pub type atmosphere with casual food and atmosphere.”

“It is not going to be a nightclub,” he said.

The fi rst fl oor would house the kitchen and main dining area, he said. There would be no changes to the footprint of the building, but a second fl oor is planned that would contain a bar area with an open deck. There is also a plan to have an outdoor patio.

The design, Lerro added, will compli-ment the Doo Wop streetscape on Pacifi c Avenue.

If all the plans fall into place, Lerro told the Herald that he plans to open by the beginning of summer.

Board Chairperson Mike Porch said he applauded Lerro’s effort to “continue to invest in downtown Wildwood and looked forward to seeing more of the project in the coming weeks.”

The plans will be before the board again on Feb. 18.

Also before the board, was the work session for a new multi-level complex that would hold three upscale restau-rants planned at the current site of Club Shakers.

Attorney Louis C. Dwyer, who rep-resents the project developers, told the

board that the building was “going to undergo a lot more than a renovation.”

“It is a lot more like a dramatic trans-formation,” he said.

According to the plans, portions of the one-story structure would be reconstruct-ed to meet building codes. The building’s height would stretch to about 32 feet.

The first floor would hold Tanger-ine, a restaurant specializing in conti-

nental cuisine, and Kamakura, a hibachi and sushi restaurant. The restaurant-club Coconuts would be housed on the second fl oor, surrounded by glass window pan-els that could retract, enabling patrons to enjoy the open air.

“It certainly is an interesting concept and it is new to Wildwood,” Porch said of the retractable roof design.

Both Tangerine and Coconuts would offer evening entertainment and stay open until 3 a.m.

In addition to an outside seating area, the plans for the complex include a re-quest for the city to vacate Cedar Avenue, which would enable developers to build a public plaza.

“The plaza area would act as a gather-ing spot before patrons enter the complex and as they leave,” said Daniel Shousky, project architect.

Joe Palombaro, the owner of Shakers nightclub and developer of the new com-plex, said that interior work has already begun inside Shakers, and if all the plans are approved the complex could be open this spring.

He added that the complex would be open year-round in an attempt to “jump-start” other business to follow a similar trend.

The public hearing on the project is scheduled for the Planning Board’s Feb. 4 meeting.
