‘Bubble’ Ends,Enrollment Dips,College Adjusts

By VINCE CONTI

MAYS LANDING – Enrollments at Atlantic Cape Community College have experienced a steady decline since hitting their peak in 2010. Over that period Atlantic Cape has lost about 6 percent of its enrollment and the president’s budget message for the current year predicted a decline of another 3 percent in 2014.

The loss in enrollments among Cape May County students is significantly higher. From 2010 to 2013, Cape May County enrollments at Atlantic Cape dropped 15 percent. Even at its peak, enrollments in Cape May County rep-resented only about 20 percent of the total at ACCC, but during the present downturn they account for over 50 percent of the total decline.

Dr. Richard Perniciaro, vice president of planning and research, said the college is well aware of the trend and is aggressively taking steps to meet it. The basic problem, Perniciaro said, is “the pie is shrinking.” He noted that the overall population trend is down, especially in Cape May County, and that the “bubble” that

Event Houses’ UseWill Be Regulated

By VINCE CONTI

CAPE MAY – City Council unanimously ap-proved an ordinance March 18 regulating use of so-called “event houses.” Citing numerous complaints over a period of three years, Mayor Edward Mahaney, Jr. noted that several public meetings have been held on the issue, which council has been working on since last summer. The ordinance came with the recommendation of the Cape May Planning Board.

The ordinance defines an event house as one owned, maintained and/or advertised as a des-tination for gather-ings of guests who are not living in the building. The regu-lations effectively bar event houses from residential ar-eas. While allowing such properties in the commercial hotel C-3 zone, the ordinance re-stricts the number of events that can be held at proper-ties each year and establishes fees and regulations governing the size and nature of the events. Homes that meet the definition would also be sub-ject to inspections. To protect tourists from disruption of-ten associated with large commercial

Legislators Link,Support Pipeline;Opponents ClaimScare Tactics

By PHIL BRODER

PETERSBURG – Assemblyman Samuel Fiocchi (R-1st) has added his voice to Sen. Jeff Van Drew’s (D-1st) in support of a natural gas pipeline through the Pinelands to the B.L. England Generating Station in Beesley’s Point. Van Drew, in a March 20 release, stated he was “encouraged by the increasing support for the project to build a natural gas pipeline to the B.L. England generating station in South Jersey, noting that freeholders in Atlantic, Cape May and Cumberland counties have expressed their support.”

At the same time, the Pinelands Preservation Alliance claimed that elected officials are using economic scare tactics to mislead the public.

At a March 21 press conference at Upper Township Municipal Complex, Fiocchi said, “I want to promote awareness and give my

Solid Waste Supervisor Craig Reeves designed the logo.

After Public Works Director Grant Russ spoke about Gryning, Mayor Suzanne Walters thanked everyone in the department for their service during the cold winter. A moment of silence was held for Gryning, who 24 years

Miss New Jersey Visits Third GradersBy HELEN McCAFFREY

COURT HOUSE – Miss New Jersey Cara Maureen McCollum, brought her “Giving the Gift of Reading” initiative to Nicole DelCorio’s third grade class at Middle Township Elementary No. 2 March 18. As March is the birth-month of Dr. Seuss and Read Across America, DelCorio thought it would be wonderful to have McCollum visit her class and read to the children.

McCollum’s platform, as Miss New Jersey, is giving the gift of reading. It is an effort she promotes through a program in which she collects and distributes books to children for their birthdays. This is something she began as a high school student in her native Arkansas.

“I wrote a letter to her business agent and she accepted our invitation,” explained DelCorio. “The students are so excited.”

McCollum arrived bedecked with her Miss

The assembly heard from Republican office holders such as County Clerk Rita Fulginiti, Freeholder Director Gerald Thornton, Sheriff

World War II Buffalo Soldier Laid to RestWith Military Honor, Escorted by ‘Cycles

By AL CAMPBELL

CREST HAVEN – In wind-swept Cape May County Veterans Cemetery, a World War II, U.S. Army veteran George H. Watkins, who wore the Buffalo patch as a member of the 92nd Infantry Division and 317th Combat Engineers Battalion, was laid to rest March 22 with military honors. Standing close to his family and friends by the flag-draped casket was a contingent from Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club of Southern N.J. Two of them escorted the hearse and other rode in tribute to a man they honored as one of their own.

They joined mourners as Pastor George Thompson, pastor; First Baptist Church of

Whitesboro committed the 95-year-old to his grave, in sure and certain hope of resurrection.

The 92nd Buffalo Infantry Division was reactivated in 1942, staffed by African Americans, both enlisted and junior officers, although commanded by white officers.

According to the website of the Buffalo Division’s World War II Association:

“The 92nd Infantry Division was a part of the 5th Army that served in the Italian Theater during World War II. It was also the only infantry unit comprised entirely of African Americans, or, as they were referred to at the time – Colored Troops,

BPU Rejects Cape Group’s PlanFor Wind Farm off Atlantic City

By PHIL BRODER

CAPE MAY – New Jer-sey’s Board of Public Utili-ties (BPU) nixed a proposed offshore wind turbine proj-ect March 19, unanimously rejecting Cape May-based Fishermen’s Energy’s plan as too financially risky for ratepayers. Fishermen’s Energy had been waiting three years for the BPU to rule on the project.

Fishermen’s Energy, founded by a group of Cape May commercial fisher-men, proposed to spend

$188 million to build five turbines nearly three miles off of Atlantic City, creating 400 jobs and generating 25 megawatts of electricity. The Atlantic City Wind-farm was considered a pilot project. Long-term plans called for 66 offshore tur-bines, generating enough power for 50,000 homes.

In rejecting the proposal, BPU commissioners said the agency still supports renewable energy, but agreed with their staff’s assessment that the project didn’t meet key standards

of a four-year-old law, re-quiring projects to provide a net economic benefit to the state. The main point of contention was how much the project would cost ratepayers, who would help pay for the power the wind turbines pro-duce. Those costs would be passed on to electricity consumers through credits to Fishermen’s Energy for the electricity generated.

The company claimed those costs would amount to $199 per megawatt hour, but that rate was de-

pendent on it receiving up to $100 million in federal subsidies. The BPU’s staff questioned that aid, part of which was based on a fed-eral tax investment credit, which expired at the end of 2013. Without the sub-sidies, the cost of credits to consumers would balloon to $263 a megawatt hour.

“It’s simply too high a price for ratepayers,’’ said BPU President Diane Solomon.

Obama Signs Flood Insurance Bill

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama put his signature on the bill many in Cape May County and other coastal areas needed to ease flood insurance premium burdens. On March 21, the president, with no fanfare, signed the bill advocated by U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez, Cory Booker and U.S. Rep. Frank LoBiondo that will cap rate hikes at 15 percent and will paves the way for refunds for those who were hit with high premiums.

New Environmental Commission Meets; Wood-burning Furnaces Top Agenda

By DON TOZER

DENNISVILLE – The new Dennis Township E n v i r o n m e n t a l Commiss ion he ld i t s f i r s t mee t ing March 19 to organize and set some agenda items for upcoming meetings. Mayor John Murphy opened the meeting by telling the commission that he served on a previous incarnation of the Environmental Commission 12 years ago. “I loved it and I learned a lot,” Murphy said.

Before wishing the members luck, Murphy demanded one thing of the new commission, respect. “I cannot have any commission member be disrespectful. I ask that

you respect each other, and the public. They all have different opinions, and whether we personally agree or not, they all deserve respect.”

Committee member A lber t DiCicco sa id , “We wanted those with environmental ambition, not political ambition. This is a strong commission of residents, and you’re the environmental experts here.”

First order of business was a d i scuss ion on regulating the installation and operation of outdoor wood furnaces. These furnaces, or boilers, are constructed outside of the home, usually on a concrete or stone pad. They are used to supply heat and

hot water to the home. Commission member Alma George, who spoke about the need for the regulations before township committee in November, said that the furnaces pose not only an environmental threat, but also a public safety risk if not properly

regulated. “No one is doing inspections, not plumbers, not electricians. It’s only as good as the person welding it together.”

There are four outdoor wood furnaces known to exist in Dennis Township, and one is no longer in

Hereford Inlet to Cape May Inlet ProjectGets Lower Township Planners’ Attention

By JAMES McCARTY

VILLAS – As the say-ing goes, “money talks.” Although there are many facets and considerations to the proposed Hereford’s Inlet-to-Cape May Inlet “dune project,” the eco-nomic costs and benefits of the proposed dune project were featured at Lower Township Planning Board’s meeting March 20.

Christopher Constanti-no, environmental services specialist for the N.J. De-partment of Environmental

Protection told the board that costs of the project will be apportioned according to a formula that commits the federal government to fund 65 percent, while the state and the participat-ing municipalities would jointly fund the remaining 35 percent.

This formula further breaks down the state/mu-nicipal portion (35 percent) described above to a 75 percent to 25 percent split of that 35 percent share, with the state funding 75 percent and municipalities

funding 25 percent. According to Constan-

tino, that means municipal governments will actually pay approximately 8.75 percent of the total cost of the project. The initial project construction cost of the proposal is estimated to be $21.9 million.

Constantino further added that if the currently proposed dune project had been in place before Hur-ricane Sandy, the estimated Sandy-related coastal dam-age of approximately $170 million would have been

reduced to $10 to $15 million.

He based that analysis on a study by the Army Corps of Engineers which calcu-lated Sandy damage costs based solely on the beach and beachfront properties.

Constantino also stated that the proposed dune project will save the partici-pating communities addi-tional beach maintenance costs. He explained that the accretion, and build up of sand in the southern beach communities has caused

Special Services School OKs Snow Make-up Days By TERENCE HARRIS

CREST HAVEN – Cape May County Schools for Special Services held its March 18 meeting to ad-dress a variety of topics, including policy and admin-istrative issues, financial and personnel issues, and the presentation of various administrative reports.

Superintendent Barbara J. Makoski addressed the issue of snow days before the board since the district exceeded its quota of snow

days. “It is a necessity to change our school calen-dar due to snow days. We have to conform to a 180-day school year. We have three snow days built into the school year, but we’ve used five days,” she said. “We need to make up two student days. April 21 will be used as a professional day. June 25 will be the last day of school for students,” Makoski explained.

The school district revised the schedule so

was passing through the schools has ended. “We are starting to see consolidation at lower levels

and a shrinking high school graduation pool.” It is not major yet but the trend is clear. “Cape May County was just ahead of the curve,” Perniciaro said, “and now we are seeing the same pressures in Atlantic County.”

Atlantic Community College, the precursor institution to Atlantic Cape, was organized by the state in 1964 for service to Atlantic County. It was not until 1999 that a joint college was organized encompassing Atlantic and Cape May counties.

Trustees approved a new name for the joint college in February 1999. The Cape May County campus, on Court House-South Dennis Road, (CR 657) in Court House, opened Aug. 24, 2005.

Approximately 15 percent of the classroom and admin-istrative space of Atlantic Cape is located on the Cape May County campus. From the point where the new campus opened until 2010, Cape May County enrollments grew by 44 percent, an indication of need in the county that was finally being met.

Perniciaro noted that the growth years for Atlantic Cape were caused by many factors. There was a remain-ing generation bubble going through the school system providing increased graduates looking for post-secondary education.

The recession that began in 2008 also drove many people to seek education programs as a means of compet-ing better in a tight employment environment. The steep increases in tuition and fees at both private and public higher education institutions also made Atlantic Cape more attractive as a less expensive way for students to begin the college experience.

The larger number of high school graduates seeking Atlantic Cape’s programs even had the impact of lowering the average age of the college’s student body. Perniciaro says that the college may even have paid less attention to the recruitment of older students.

The downside of these years of growth, Perniciaro said, is that the college became a bit complacent. “We didn’t need to put much money or effort into market-ing.” With the demographics moving against it, Atlantic Cape needs to focus more on recruitment and the reten-tion of students already enrolled. Perniciaro spoke of a recent reorganization that created an office to merge marketing and enrollment management and to oversee a comprehensive approach for the use of Atlantic Cape’s

resources in this area.Approximately 20 percent of the college’s annual

budget is funded by the two counties, almost 15 per-cent comes from the state, and the remainder is funded through tuition and fees. Heavily dependent on tuition and fees, enrollment is a key issue for Atlantic Cape.

Over the period of declining enrollments, full time staff at Atlantic Cape has been reduced by 9 percent. The decline has even hit the college’s online programs.

“We used to see online enrollments from all over the country,” Perniciaro said, “but now most of those enrollments are coming from students we already have enrolled.” The ability of the online program to add to the Atlantic Cape student body is diminishing because so many schools have opened up online education that the competition is much stronger.

The college may also have to consider its mix of programs. The mission of a community college leaves it facing a number of competing goals with regard to enrollment.

In one respect it is a place of last resort, with an open admissions policy that allows students facing challenges for admission to other state supported schools to enroll. Other students with stronger preparation who seek to use the community college as the least expensive way to gain initial credits before transfer to a four-year institution need easy and flexible access to programs.

Perniciaro noted that Cape May County students may not be able to complete a desired major at the Cape May location. “There are a number of majors that require that students commute to the main campus,” he said. This makes online programs more appealing to Cape May students. Almost a quarter of Cape May County enroll-ments at Atlantic Cape are taken in the online programs.

Still other students see the community college as the source of training in job skills for immediate use in the workforce. Matching the right programs to the demands of that potential student market is a challenge facing Atlantic Cape.

The roles played by Atlantic Cape as a less expen-sive entry point for students seeking the increasingly important four-year degree and as a place for immediate acquisition of necessary workforce skills are as important as ever. The challenge seems to be to figure ways to better marshal the college’s resources to meet the demographic downturn.

‘Bubble’(From Page A1)

Miss New Jersey(From Page A1)

New Jersey crown and sash. She is no stranger to Cape May County, having lived in Court House for a short time. Her first pageant crown was won in Avalon, as Miss Island Resort. At the time she was a student at Princeton University majoring in English. After winning the Miss New Jersey contest she took a year off from her studies at Princeton where she is a senior.

The students peppered her with ques-tions ranging from “What is your favorite book?” to “Do you know who your neigh-bors are?”

To the former she answered, “Gail Car-son Levine’s, ‘Ella Enchanted.’ And to the latter she confessed she did not know her neighbors, adding, “I haven’t been home very much recently.” When McCollum asked the third graders if they would like her to read to them, they enthusiastically shouted a collective, “Yes.”

McCollum then gave an animated ren-dering of ‘Skippy John Jones’ to the stu-dents’ delight. More questions including, “Is there a Mr. New Jersey?” and “Are the diamonds in your tiara real?” were asked and then followed with the students singing their original song, ‘Dr. Seuss, We Love You.’

McCol lum ex-plained that reading can take students any place they want to go, both literally and f iguratively. “You don’t always win at everything but you can learn from reading stories about others who overcame,” she said. “You pick yourself back up and keep going.”

“I wanted the children to see the connection between reading and success beyond the class-

room in their real lives,” said DelCorio. “I thought having Miss New Jersey come and read would demonstrate that.” The students presented McCollum with a box full of books. She was touched and prom-ised to wrap them all individually and give each one to a child who did not get much for their birthday and to whom the book would be a real treat.

“I am so overwhelmed and feeling extraordinarily blessed,” McCollum said.

Principal Douglas Penkethman made an appearance during which he had a few questions of his own. Penkethman thanked McCollum for promoting reading and asked if she had other interests. She replied that she was a dance teacher, a cheerleader and a tennis player.

In the Miss America contest McCollum’s talent was playing the piano. She told students that when her reign representing the Garden State is over she will return to Princeton University to complete her studies. She promised to “never leave New Jersey.”

Dorothy SheehanFor the Read Across America month of March, Miss New Jersey also known as Cara McCollum, visited Miss Nicole DelCorio’s third grade class March 15, 2014 at Middle Township Elementary #2 in Cape May Court House. Miss New Jersey’s focus is on reading and she works to collect books to give to poor children. Miss DelCorio’s class gave Miss New Jersey a basket of books for her cause along with some jellybeans for herself.

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

The Pebbles(From Page A1)

worked for the department.Museum’s Lack of Space The majority in the room stayed to hear a presentation

by Bob Ashman, trustee for the Stone Harbor Museum. Terrie Cwik, museum president, related recent events before introducing Ashman. “The Stone Harbor Museum opened in 2000,” Cwik said. “The building is owned by the board of education and leased to the borough for museum use. In recent years, it has been determined that a space of at least 2,450 square feet is needed. The present location has 900 square feet.”

“In 2008, the museum accepted an invitation to move into an 1,800-square-feet location in the proposed library,” Cwik continued. “Since then, the expansion plans have been put on hold. Now that the library will be built on the small lot, another location for the museum, which is still growing both in content and in scope, has to be found. The soon-to-be-built library has not enough space to accommodate the museum. It has been determined that the Pebbles guest house would be an ideal location for the museum.”

Ashman then began his presentation by reiterating Cwik’s sentiments that the museum’s location, a seaside cottage at 235 93rd Street, is not big enough to contain the more than 50,000 historical artifacts.

“The mission of the museum,” Ashman said, has always been to “acquire, preserve, display, celebrate and promote archives, artifacts and items relevant to the development of our unique cultural heritage and to delight, inspire and educate the present and future generations about the story of Stone Harbor.”

The PebblesWhere Cwik stated that a minimum of 2,450 square

feet was desirable, Ashman spoke of the museum’s long-range hopes for 3,500-4,000 square feet. This is where the Pebbles came in.

The Pebbles guest house has been a fixture in the borough since 1909. The family-owned building at 9400 First Ave. is one of the oldest remaining structures in the borough and has been on and off the market for the past three or four years. The current owner, John Curto, would like to see it preserved, Ashman said.

“Do you have a written agreement from Curto to purchase the site?” asked Councilmember Joan Kramar.

“He hasn’t signed anything yet, but he would be agreeable to it, if council were to go forward,” Ashman responded. The purpose of bringing the request to council was to obtain its recommendation to Cape May County Open Space board for funding to purchase and maintain the Pebbles for museum use.

Curto, who was in Portugal at the time, could not be reached for comment.

Ashman’s PresentationAshman broke down overall costs into two phases for

Open Space funding applications.Phase One is land acquisition and would cost

approximately $1.9 million, with no matching funds. If the borough were to go forward with the recommendation, and Open Space granted the monies (and the county approved), Stone Harbor would acquire and own the property. The borough would then lease the Pebbles to the museum for $1 per year.

Phase Two is historic preservation and is estimated to cost approximately $50,000 (with an anticipated $50,000 match of funds). That would cover the cost of an Americans With Disabilities (ADA) compliant elevator plus any other requirements.

The projected annual operating expenses for the museum at the Pebbles is $79,201. That figure includes gas, electric, maintenance, cleaning, $1 for the rent, etc., but the largest sum included in that figure would be $40,000 for an executive director’s salary.

As a part-time employee, the executive director would be responsible for all things museum-related, including fundraising. Ashman said that the museum is waiting to apply for certain grants with the help of the county Director of Cultural Heritage Pary Woehlcke Tell.

“The museum has a plan to create a $1-million endowment to ensure funds would be available for any future capital projects. The building itself is in excellent shape, though,” Ashman said. “The owner put a new roof on five years ago, put new windows in, reinsulated it, put on shingles...”

The target date to request funds from Open Space is June 14 because, according to Ashman, “every month that goes by, additional projects are submitted to the Open Space board for review. The longer we wait, the more projects we compete with.”

Council’s QuestionsThe first question asked was by Walters. She wanted

to know: if the museum was relocated to the Pebbles, would they still need the old museum location? “Not necessarily,” Ashman stated. “Most likely we will not need that building.”

“Wait, so what was the answer?” Council member Joselyn Rich asked.

“The Pebbles has adequate space for what we need now. The only reason we might need the old building is for digitalizing old materials,” Ashman replied.

“OK,” started Kramar. “I’m sure – and I’ll speak for myself – I support this as a museum but right now, I’m

not so sure, monetarily. So if it were to come to fruition, you’re anticipating the borough support two buildings, two maintenance, two wa te r b i l l s , two everything else?”

“The only reason we would need the old building would be if that’s the place to do this digitizing work,” Ashman reiterated. “But the plan would be that the Pebbles would be big enough to do all that work. I know that’s sort of a confusing answer…”

“At this point, I really don’t see the need for two buildings unless it was a temporary thing,” interjected Cwik. “There’s ample space at the Pebbles to do the work we need to do. And the boats would be stored at the ground level of the Pebbles. There’s an additional garage there where we would be able to work on the boats and they would be protected there better than they are now.”

Council member Judith Davies-Dunhour wanted to know what the assessed value on the Pebble was. Ashman said it was around $2.5-$2.6 million.

Kramar then asked about membership. Cwik re layed tha t the museum currently has 324 members and collects approximately $18,000 a year from members.

“We’re going to be asking for larger contributions on top of the regular membership dues,” said Ashman. “As it is now, some people donate more than their membership dues so we suspect that that will continue.” “I certainly applaud you for setting your goals so high,” said Kramar. “But you are anticipating receiving $1 million from the public. Is that realistic?”

“I think that yes, it’s a pretty good shot,” Ashman said. “There is a lot of wealth in this town by property owners. They tend to be very generous for projects that are important to them. It is possible, but it’s not going to happen all at one time. There will be a campaign that we will start once things get underway.”

Council member Karen Lane thought the $100,000 figure in the budget was a little light for all the renovations needed including the addition of climate controlled rooms. Ashman answered that yes, several architects have given estimates and the biggest cost would be the ADA-compliant elevators.

“I guess one of my concerns is,” Lane continued, “have you considered any alternatives to this that doesn’t have such a heavy cash outlay attached to it?”

Ashman said they have looked at other properties but the Pebbles is their best bet at success.

“Almost every building in Stone Harbor is going to cost at least a million dollars,” Ashman said. “However this proposition has $0 of cash outlay. The money is already there from the property owners who pay 0.11 percent of their real estate tax every year for this Open Space fund. That money is already there. We are trying to come up with a proposition that brings some of that money back for a permanent, good thing.”

Lane continued to say that she was concerned that if the borough were to own the museum and somewhere down the road, it failed and there was no one left to run it, then the borough would be stuck with it. “And then we have the building and there’s nothing we can do with it,” she said.

“If, in the unlikely situation, the museum were to go away, the borough would be able to use the building for any other purpose that would be open to the public, just like you would with a playground or anything else,” Ashman said. Council wasn’t sure of the validity of that statement and they intend to look into it further.

There were other questions that were raised, one of which, from Dunhour, concerned the executive director’s salary. “With a building that size and with the amount of interest I think it would generate, I almost think it couldn’t operate without an executive director…I feel like it’s a good project for the borough to partner with. I just think a challenge would be to count on that grant money each year. That’s a floating figure. I don’t want you to misunderstand me, I love this idea. I just think we need to make it really definitive – where the (grant) money is coming from.”

Ashman, Cwik and other museum trustees are ready to begin planning fundraisers, including parties at the Pebbles, as soon as council decides to go forward with recommending the proposal to the Open Space board.

Public SupportThe large public audience in attendance

(easily the largest crowd so far this year) got its chance to speak and those who did were in favor of the project.

“I think it is a marvelous opportunity,” said Rev. Wayne Conrad. “I think we need to understand what a potentially important asset it is to the whole community, not only in terms of how we feel about the community but also in terms of architectural value and even taxation value.”

“I think this is an absolutely spectacular

support” to the pipeline project. With Upper Township Mayor Richard Palombo at his side, the Vineland Repub-lican claimed the project would support 300 temporary construction jobs and 100 full-time jobs.

The natural gas pipeline proposed by South Jersey Gas would have run 22 miles from Maurice River Township to the Beesley’s Point power plant, mostly following Routes 49 and 50 through areas within the boundaries of the Pinelands National Reserve.

At their Jan. 10 meeting, the Pinelands Commission deadlocked in a 7-7 vote, failing to grant approval to the plan. Since then, Van Drew – a Democrat – has asked the Pinelands Commission to re-open the issue.

In a release, Van Drew stated, “The pipeline project is absolutely vital to South Jersey and the state and failing to move it forward could threaten progress in our region for years to come. I have spoken personally to both Gov. Christie and Senate President Sweeney and they are just as committed as I am to protecting the economy of the region and ensuring a strong energy future for the state through this effort.”

Palombo added his support, stating, “That facility [the B.L. England plant] is here, it’s a viable part of the town-ship. They should run the plant that’s already there and do it in an environmentally-friendly way.”

But Carleton Montgomery, executive director of the Pinelands Preservation Alliance, says that Van Drew and Palombo are misleading the public. Upper Township received $6.4 million through the Energy Tax Receipts Property Tax Relief Fund last year, and Montgomery claims pipeline supporters have made it seem like Up-per Township will lose that money unless B.L. England stays in operation after a switch from coal to natural gas.

In fact, the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs’ Office of Local Government Services confirmed Montgomery’s view about the funding. It noted that every municipality in the state receives money from the Energy Tax Receipts fund, regardless of whether they host an electrical generating facility. The plant’s owner, Rockland Capital Energy Investments LLC, also paid more than $340,000 in property taxes to Upper Township in 2013. Montgomery added that the property taxes would be paid

regardless of whether the plant was open or closed.

Palombo agreed that the $6.4 million is inde-pendent of B.L. England’s status, but contended that Upper Township could ac-tually be in line for more. The mayor believes that possible changes in the fund’s allocation formula could mean Upper Town-ship is in line for $10-11 million.

After the press confer-ence, Fiocchi added that if the Pinelands Commission is going to reconsider its decision, he would support re-opening the public com-ment period.

Public comment was heard only at a Dec. 9 meeting, or by mail and e-mail from late November through December. Fiocchi said he didn’t comment earlier because he didn’t assume office until after the comment period had closed.

Fiocchi also said that he planned to study the March 19 decision by the Board of Public Utilities, rejecting a proposal by Cape May-based Fishermen’s Energy to build wind turbines in waters three miles off At-lantic City. That plan was estimated to create 400 jobs and bring $150 million in construction, manufac-turing, and investment dollars to the area.

idea,” said Douglas Wear. “I can’t imagine a town without the Pebbles building. To see it disappear would be a crime. If I could put my realtor hat on, it is my opinion that if the Pebbles were to be bought by a public person, it would get torn down and rebuilt to be modern. It does not lend itself to being a single-family unit. I would ask the council to consider: how would you feel without this building in Stone Harbor?”

“For somebody that’s packing and moving down here,” said Betsy Bretz, “I went down and looked at that building and wow what a perfect building it is for a museum! When you look at it, I can see people sitting on the wrap-around porch, people looking out on the ocean, and there’s so much space there for a museum. The historical value of that building – my God… This seems to be the real opportunity to be the glue for Stone Harbor. Let’s give it a chance and get something we can all be proud of.”

Other residents also spoke their support, including Sister James Dolores of Villa Maria by the Sea.

Absent Council Member Weighs InCouncil member Albert Carusi is also liaison to the

Stone Harbor Museum. Carusi was absent from the meeting, but shared his own thoughts with the Herald in a telephone interview. “This has been in the works for awhile,” Carusi said. “The museum folks were looking for a spot when it was proposed to go into the library. But that proposed space was too small. So now they’re faced with the choice of making do with where they are or going after a new space in the Pebbles. It’s a neat location, it has enough square footage and it could really be a beautiful site to show off Stone Harbor’s history.”

Carusi added that he likes the idea of bringing the proposal to the Open Space Board and fully supports it.

events, the use of event houses, even in approved areas, is banned from July 1 to Labor Day each year.

Council amended the ordinance adding a further restriction that requires windows be closed if music is being played indoors after 9 p.m. The ordinance bans outdoor music after that time.

The ordinance was carefully drawn to ensure that it does not interfere with the rights of residents to host events such as weddings and graduations in their homes. People who live in a home for more than 90 days are able to hold events without a license. Public notice of the ordinance will occur next week and it will become law 20 days later.

Free Beach Tags for Veterans and Active Duty Military

Council approved an ordinance giving veterans and active duty military and their families free beach tags this summer. At an earlier meeting, City Manager Bruce MacLeod estimated the potential loss in revenue from the program at $24,000. Cape May is the latest municipality in the state to take advantage of a law Governor Christie signed in January allowing beach communities to offer free or reduced cost tags to veterans.

Joe Griffies, a Vietnam veteran from Rio Grande, praised the program. “I think what you are doing is not to save the veterans $20 on a beach tag. You are telling them ‘somebody cares.’”

Capt. Todd Prestidge, commanding officer of the U. S. Coast Guard Training Center, also spoke at the meeting expressing appreciating on behalf of the 1,000 active duty military personnel at the center.

Cape May has a separate and self-sustaining beach utility. MacLeod hopes that over time the cost of the pro-gram can be self-liquidating and there will be no impact on the taxpayer. “We are very confident, even if we are oversubscribed, which we hope we will be, that we have the capability of doing this,” said Mahaney.

Special tags with an American flag will be available in City Hall after the ordinance becomes effective in April. The tags will also be available to the New Jersey National Guard and the New Jersey Army National Guard.

2014 BudgetCouncil formally adopted the 2014 budget. Prior to

the budget resolution, council approved an ordinance allowing the budget to exceed appropriation limits and establish a CAP bank. In effect, Cape May is allowed under state law to exceed the limits for growth in budget appropriation and set aside the increase for potential future use if there is a later need to exceed the manda-tory calculated limits. MacLeod recommended such an approach in his budget message.

to see combat in Europe. During their time in Italy, from August

of 1944 through the end of the war in May 1945, the 92nd advanced more than 3,000 square miles and captured more than 20,000 German prisoners. They also suffered heavy casualties – with more than

“Taps” then slowly removed the flag from the coffin and carefully and smartly tri-folded it.

In military tradition, Ruiz presented the folded flag first to Furbert who then presented it to the family “On behalf of the President of the United States, the U.S. Army and a grateful nation” and with other comforting words to them for the service to the country of their father, grandfather and great-grandfather.

According to his obituary from Radzieta Funeral home, which was entrusted with the service, Watkins, formerly of Whitesboro, passed away March 17, 2014. Born in Philadelphia to Howard and Martha Watkins, he moved to this area in 1977 and moved to Florida two years ago.

He was an involved and dedicated member of First Baptist Church in Whitesboro. A viewing and funeral service took place at the church earlier March 22.

He is survived by his children: Lana A. of Philadel-phia, George Jr. of Jacksonville, Fla., Rev. Donald E. of Court House, Jesse E. of Trenton, and Wanda A. of Jacksonville, Fla.; as well as 19 grandchildren and 21 great grandchildren.

The importance of Buffalo soldiers was highlighted in World War II magazine, June 12, 2006 in a story by Robert Hodges Jr. “African Americans have fought in every major conflict in which the United States has been involved, from the Revolutionary War on. They frequently served with distinction–the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer In-fantry during the American Civil War, the 9th and 10th U.S. Colored Cavalry regiments during the Indian wars and the Spanish-American War, and the 369th Infantry Regiment during World War I all established outstanding fighting records.

“Yet with each new war in which the United States became embroiled, the white American establishment tended to forget the contribution made by black service-men in previous conflicts. Each time, black soldiers were committed to combat in racially segregated units and had to prove themselves all over again. Of the 909,000 black Americans selected for duty in the Army during World War II, only one black division saw infantry combat in Europe–the 92nd Infantry Division. The vast majority of African Americans in uniform were assigned to segregated construction or supply units or placed in units that per-formed unpleasant duties such as graves registration. The government’s view was that blacks were not motivated enough or aggressive enough to fight.

“While the 92nd was referred to as a black unit, and its

enlisted men and most of its junior officers were black, its higher officers were white. The 92nd, which had fought in France during World War I, was once again activated in 1942. Under the command of Maj. Gen. Edward M. Almond, the 92nd began combat training in October 1942 and went into action in Italy in the summer of 1944. The unit continued a long and proud tradition by retaining the buffalo as its divisional symbol. Its circular shoulder patch, which featured a black buffalo on an olive drab background, was called The Buffalo–as was the division’s official publication. The 92nd even kept a live buffalo as a mascot.

“The nickname ‘Buffalo Soldier’ dates back to the late 1860s, when black soldiers volunteered for duty in the American West. The American Indians, who regarded the new threat as ‘black white men,’ coined the term ‘Buffalo Soldier’ out of respect for a worthy enemy. According to one story, the Indians thought that the black soldiers, with their dark skin and curly hair, resembled buffaloes. Another story attributes the name to the buffalo hides that many black soldiers wore during the harsh winters out West, as a supplement to their inadequate govern-ment uniforms.”

a quarter of the unit killed or wounded in action. For their Deeds the 92nd earned more than 12,000 decorations and cita-tions – including two Medals of Honor.”

In recognition of Watkins’s military service, Army representatives from the 99th Regional Support Command at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, Capt. Gavin Furbert and Staff Sgt. Jamilah Ruiz, played

If you’ve ever heard a sleeping individual clenching his or her teeth at night, you prob-ably already know something about “brux-ism.” Aside from making a horrible sound, this excessive clenching of the jaws and grinding of the teeth poses the potential to wear away tooth enamel, disrupt jaw posi-tion, and even crack teeth. For these reasons, the dentist highly recommends that bruxers

that are worn at night to prevent tooth grind-ing and its deleterious effects. In addition, research has recently revealed that bruxism seems to be related to restless leg syndrome and migraines. Because these conditions may have something in common, people with one condition may want to consider di-agnosis of the other two.

Republicans(From Page A1)

Gary Schaffer, and Freeholders E. Marie Hayes, Kristine Gabor and Will Morey.

Gabor, Morey and Schaffer are up for re-election.

Donohue told the crowd that they had Morey to thank for “installing a convention system in Cape May County.” He also reminded them that “We have huge local elections this year,” as well as state and federal ones.

The organization decided to make it an open primary for candidates vying to replace Democrat Cory Booker in the U.S. Senate. Donohue reminded of the dismal record Booker had racked up when he was mayor of Newark. There was a high murder rate and allegations that he did not actually live there. “If you saw what he did to Newark that should disqualify him,” said Donohue. He also compared the junior senator’s voting record to President Barack Obama, nationalizing the election.

Three of the four Republican candidates for the senate sent surrogates.

Peter Boyce spoke on behalf of Professor Murray Sabrin, no stranger in Libertarian circles.

Boyce described Sabrin, whose parents were holocaust survivors, as a strict Constitutionalist whose economic policies would cut the national debt, reduce taxes by at least half, protect individual privacy by fighting to stop NSA spying on American citizens, and defend the Second Amendment and pre born human life.

Boyce also called Sabrin the “peace” candidate because, while he would “protect America’s borders he would keep us out of needless wars in countries that had not attacked us.” He also informed the crowd that Sabrin had received the endorsement of Libertarian Sen. Rand Paul and his father Ron Paul.

Richard Pezzullo sent his friend and fellow developer who told the audience that Pezzullo would work to end excessive regulation and taxes. “Less government and lower taxes.” He also would strive to end federal mandates being forced on New Jersey teachers. Pezzullo,

The seating was sectioned off by towns and townships such as Middle, Cape May, Dennis etc. much as the national conventions are. The seats reserved for the Wildwood contingent appeared largely vacant without explanation.

Gabor who lost the Assembly election in November made the most emotional remarks. “We’ve been through a lot,” she said adding that “losing stinks.”

She is up for re-election to the Board of Chosen Freeholders and vowed “never to lose another election,” not just for her own sake but for all those people who believe in her and “worked so hard for her campaign.”

She also said that she was “proud to be part of the transformation of the Republican Party in this county” That reference to the takeover of the county GOP leadership by Donohue in 2010 from longtime chairman David Von Savage was repeated by Donohue when he remarked that he and Thornton often pinch themselves when they recall the successful Thornton-Sheppard freeholder campaign of that year.

Donohue also announced that in lieu of a goodie bag for all committeemen a donation to disabled servicemen would be made in their name.

Donohue acknowledged Assemblyman Samuel Fiocchi (R-1st), who won the seat formerly held by Nelson Albano, and promised to “send him company soon.” The evening ended with a buffet and a high-spirited crowd.

who lives in Freehold and served 20 years in the Army Reserve, wants to get the federal government off the backs of business.

S a l l y T u r k a v a g e represented her husband, candidate Robert. She told how she met him when they were both FBI agents. She touted his expertise in thwarting terror attacks and keeping the country safe. She said he would work to repeal Obamacare with its “stealth taxes” and also the Alternative Minimum Tax which penalizes income earners over $100,000. If elected he would also work towards passage of a balanced budget amendment. Her presentation received the most applause.

The stand-in for the fourth candidate, Brian Goldberg, was stuck in traffic in Essex County and sent her apologies. “Everyone knows that Cape May is a long way away from everywhere,” quipped Donohue.

Chairman Michael Donohue addresses GOP convention in Avalon Community Center March 19.

Antiques & HeirloomsBy ARTHUR SCHWERDT

Pack Your Trunk for an Antique Road TripBefore I report on my

most recent antiques road trip, I have to tell you about a couple of ways you can have your things appraised.

First, on Mar. 28, at 1 p.m., I’ll be at the Cape May Lutheran Church on Pittsburgh Ave in Cape May for the benefit of the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts (884-5404). There’s a donation of $10 for two items ($5 for members) and there will be light refreshments. There was a good turnout for this event last year and there are always interesting items brought in to be appraised.

If you can’t make that program, or if you find more things you’d like to know about, I’ll be at the Marketplace@Teaberry on Route 9 in Clermont (624-1700) April 12 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The charge will also be $5 an item or free with a purchase. For refreshments, they have a really neat bistro on the premises. At each of these events, I’ll be available to answer any questions you may have. Hope to see you there.

If you attend either of those events, I guarantee t h a t y o u w i l l l e a r n something new, which is what happens to me each time I take one of my antique road trip. The road trip is an important part of being an antique dealer. This is not a business of catalogues and manufacturer suggested retail prices. It’s important to get around and see what’s out there, what it looks and feels like, and how much it’s selling for.

Most recently I made the rounds of the shops, malls, thrifts and flea markets in South Florida, and I share some of what I saw in the photos with this column. I wish I had taken a better photo of the Louis Vuitton wardrobe trunk I found. It was tagged at $33,000 and marked “sold.” The owner of the shop, Jonathan Daniels of Daniels on Las Olas Blvd. in Ft. Lauderdale, told me he had sold it for $26,000 to someone in the U.K There were several others in his shop from $4,000 – $20,000.

Old steamer trunks have long been popularly collected. They look neat and provide good storage. People like to use them as a blanket chest at the end of a bed or as end tables. Most will sell in good condition for a couple of hundred dollars. Old Vuittons are as special as the new ones are today, however. I just couldn’t imagine that they were that special.

I was also surprised to see a market for old outboard motors. The $6,000 price I saw on a 1916 Evinrude was mostly due to its wonderful restoration job, which turned the motor into a work of art, complete with display stand.

I also learned a new term on this trip “Hollywood Regency.” You cou ld also call it “Movie Star Modern.” It’s a glammed-up version of Mid-Century Modern, the high style décor of the 1930s through the 1950s. It’s whimsical, campy and fun, with lots of panache, and we can certainly more of that these days.

Antique road trips are educational and fun. They

Left: Sometimes on a road trip, you discover that dealers have come up with a new name for a style. A dealer at one mall called this satin glass boudoir lamp and vase “Hollywood Regen-cy Style 1930s/’40s,” and marked the lamp at $595 and the vase at $65.

should be a regular part of your routine, especially at this time of year in the of-season, when things aren’t so hectic and dealers can talk with you. Road trips are a good way to learn about the things you own, as well as some things you might like to own. Make a day of it. Go with a special friend or a group of friends; there’s certainly no end to the conversation pieces.

French cameo glass was all the rage in the early 20th Century. Auguste Le Gras from St. Denis was especially known for his dreamy, light, and satiny scenes. We found the vase here priced fairly at $1,200 and the bowl marked at $700.

millions of dollars of maintenance costs because beach drainage pipes become clogged with the excess sand and the sand buildup requires pipes to be cleaned and lengthened to keep them open.

Those costs will be dramatically re-duced because the excess sand will be relocated northward where it is needed, and reduce the need for constant mainte-nance on the southern end.

Constantino summarized the construc-tion project by explaining that the project will create or incorporate existing dunes from Hereford Inlet to Cape May Inlet so that a 16-foot dune, reinforced with natural grasses, will exist to significantly reduce future storm damage.

Constantino said that concept has been planned for about 12 years, but Sandy expedited the process to this point.

He also explained that the 16-foot height of the dune does not mean that 16-feet will be automatically added to the height of existing dunes; he clarified that whatever system of dunes already ex-ists will be incorporated into the 16-foot high plan to reduce construction costs and ensure the aesthetics and views are considered as much as is practical. He stated that “inevitable blockages in some areas may occur”.

He further related although there has been discussion about lowering the proposed 16-foot height to 12- feet, that “lowering the dune to 12 feet would double the costs of future storm damage remediation.”

He added that they “kept aesthetics in mind” when the project was being de-veloped with respect resident’s concerns about ocean views and property values. He said easements had yet to be obtained from property owners, saying “we are working on that” to address concerns about property values, rights of way and any potential compensation to home own-

ers as the process continues.According to Constantino, the sand re-

location concept of this project will avoid the need for constantly dredging more sand to the northern beaches; “we’re not just digging another hole offshore here,” he said. He explained that to repeat-edly dredge for sand to restore northern beaches would just result in that dredged sand migrating right back to the southern beaches again.

Board member Fred Long asked Con-stantino if the proposed project would ad-dress the significant problem of back bay flooding on the barrier island. Constantino indicated that the project does not address that issue. He added that he agrees that the back bay issue is extremely important and he plans to include a position paper on that issue with the final report which is due in July. “This is a huge issue” …and another problem that must be faced” he concluded.

According to Constantino, public hearings have been held throughout the affected areas; the initial 45- day period of public comment had also been extended to 60 days. Although that extended period has recently expired, his office stands ready to respond to any community concerns.

“There was a lot of time and effort put into the study and I feel the prescribed project balances out the value of shore protection as well as local interests”. He further added that he believes that the economic analysis of the concept repre-sent “a compelling” reason to proceed with this project.

The planning board voted to recom-mend that Lower Township participate in the project and referred that action to Lower Township Council for legislative action pending council approval.

service, according to George. How a new ordinance would apply to those units is unclear, but the members were in agreement that some inspection and regulation of existing units would be necessary as a matter of public safety.

“Boilers have always been regulated inside. Why would moving them outside exempt them from regulation?” George said. Dennis Township is not the first municipality to consider outdoor furnace regulation; Lower Township banned use of such units in 2012. While the commission’s discussions did not include an outright ban, ideas include permits for construction and pollution controls. Further discussion is expected before the commission will make a recommendation to township committee.

Commission Member Sue Slotterback discussed reviving several municipal gardens located around township hall and the Dennis Township Museum. The commission will seek help in maintaining the gardens from the Master Gardeners Program. Slotterback urged her fellow commission members to use native plants in any gardening or beautification projects. “I love impatiens and geraniums, but it sends the wrong message.” Members also urged any local gardening clubs interested in helping maintain the municipal gardens to attend a meeting or send a letter.

The Environmental Commission will meet the third Wednesday of each month, 5:30 p.m. at township hall. Minutes of the meetings will be accessible through the township website. The commission is subject to the Open Public Records Act.

Members are: Chairperson Bob Penrose, Vice Chairperson Ray Rebmann, Gerald McManus, Sue

Slotterback, Rick Erwin, Alma George, and Frank Hoff as an alternate. There are two vacancies, one regular and one alternate. Interested candidates should contact the Township Clerk at 861-9700.

Lower Appoints Interim Engineer

VILLAS – At its March 17 meeting, Lower Town-ship Council appointed Engineering Design As-sociates of Ocean View as acting municipal engineer.

According to Manager Michael Voll, the town-ship’s full-time engineer George Curvan had re-signed several weeks ago. By law, a municipality must have an engineer of record, he stated. Vincent Orlan-

do’s firm will serve until a replacement is found. The resolution noted the ap-pointment was made with-out public bidding. The resolution sets a $5,000 limit on the amount the firm may be paid.

Voll told the Herald he is receiving resumes from engineering firms to secure a permanent municipal engineer.

One thing you discover on a road trip is new or regional trends in collecting. This beau-tifully restored 1916 Evinrude outboard mo-tor was priced at $6,000 with its display stand. It was featured with sev-eral other old outboard motors from the 1920s through ‘50s at Daniels, a Ft. Lauderdale gallery.

Early 20th Century steamer trunks are still valuable, if they are in good condition. Louis Vuitton trunks command a premium price, however, selling from $4,000 to $50,000. This Vuitton wardrobe trunk was priced at $33,000, and marked SOLD.

With Pastor RudyLight

Speaking in the

Matthew and JesusLast Wednesday night

at our follow up class we have been holding which has allowed for discussion based upon the recent movie: The Son Of God, specific questions came up about Matthew. I thought this to be a wonderful display of divine direction as this individual played such a huge role in the mission and ministry of Jesus. I had those present ponder the possibility of whether Matthew would be welcome in our places of worship today? Would we trip over the same personal prejudices that imprisoned the religiously uptight then as it still seems to do today?

M a t t h e w w a s t h e disciple everyone loved to hate! Tax collectors were in cahoots with the

enemy. He was extorting money from his own people. He was originally named Levi and the Levites were supposed to be representing God before the people. Matthew by his chosen profession was making no advancements towards a possession of any true faith. He had become a lonely man with a ton of means and yet nobody to share it with. Nobody was having Matthew over for dinner. Nobody was inviting him to be part of their inner circle and you can be sure that he was not welcomed anywhere near the local synagogue!

And along comes Jesus and even though the word on the street is to steer clear of this shady character, our Savior walks right up to

the table where Matthew is conducting business and in broad daylight, before an audience of jeerers, Jesus calls him to break bread together. The Pharisees almost pass out on the spot! “He eats with sinners,” they cry out! And Jesus makes no apology to the stuffed shirts of hypocrisy and proceeds to invite Matthew to the big dance. Jesus cries out, “I have not come to call those who think they are righteous!” Jesus went on to make it perfectly clear that, “I am here to save the ones who know they are sinners and have no hope apart from a little love resurrection a n d s i n c e r e d i v i n e intervention!” Matthew followed. The religious party-poopers pouted. All of heaven rejoiced and most of earth sneered.

Matthew is all that is right about the ministry of Jesus! On the same day Jesus invited Matthew to follow him Matthew threw a great farewell feast in his home in Capernaum, inviting his cohorts in crime so that they could have a chance to meet Jesus too. From that day on, instead of collecting coins, Matthew collected hearts for Christ. And despite his sinful past, Matthew was given a prestigious future because he was an accurate record keeper and keen observer of people. He captured the smallest details. Those traits served him well when he wrote the Gospel that bore his name some 20 years later.

By surface appearances, it was a scandalous and an offensive move for Jesus to pick a tax collector. Yet Jesus did it anyway! And even though his fellow Jews hated him, nobody did a better job at showcasing Jesus to the Jews as their hoped-for Messiah. Matthew knew his audience and specifically tailored his account to answer the right questions. Matthew displayed one of the most radically transformed walks in response to the call of Jesus! Matthew willingly left behind a pile of wealth and security for poverty and unce r t a in t y. He abandoned the pleasures of

this world for the promise of a relationship with a God who would never let him go! Matthew was the first to know what the Beatles would sing years later: “Money Can’t Buy You Love!” Legend has it that he even died as a martyr in the cause of Christ!

Yet how many people today would do more criticizing than celebrating i f a known notorious cr imina l would walk through the doors of their Sanctuary this Sunday? I can almost hear the critical questions being whispered by the Faith Police. “What are they doing here?” “How dare they show up to our church?” “Who do they think they are?” And I can picture God shaking his head at the snobbery

of his people and ask, “Did you not learn anything from Jesus and Matthew?”

We have a saying here at The Lighthouse Church: “NO PERFECT PEOPLE ALLOWED.” Many have misunderstood its meaning. Many have criticized our use of such a slogan. Let me explain why we say what we do here. God isn’t waiting for you to clean up your act before you come to him because he knows that on your own you could never generate enough holiness to meet the necessary required amount on your own. All of us have sinned and fallen way short of the glory of God. This is why we all desperately need Jesus. The sad fact is that too many people in our culture would rather try to apply a load of religious make up over their mess and hide their filthy rags with some fancy faith facade outfits but none of that can do a thing for our lost and broken hearts! Only by us humbly looking up into the

eyes of the one who had a genuine and unconditional love for us and by admitting to him our need that we are dying of this disease called sin and by inviting Jesus to do radical heart surgery within us can we be born again. Anyone and everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved. It is not based upon what you did, but solely upon what Jesus did for all of us!

Matthew is a reminder that none of us deserve grace! Matthew is the culmination of what really good news the gospel is. Dear Jesus, I want to say ‘Thank You,’ for being willing to eat with the tax collectors and the sinners. Your mercy to them opened the door for your salvation to me. O Lord, I am not worthy to receive you, but only say the word and I will be healed and loved and held forever more. Amen and Amen! And if you don’t believe me, just ask Matthew! He knows!

BEYOND the FLAMESBY BRUCE KNOLL, JR.

Eventually, the snow will have to stop in South Jersey, and the w e a t h e r w i l l make for much more appealing rides for motor-ists throughout the county. Driv-ers will hit the highways and back roads of the area to explore all the sights and sounds that the area has to offer, motorcyclists included.

Motorcycles are a ma-jor part of the Cape May County traffic makeup throughout most of the year, whether those riders are headed to one of the an-nual motorcycle weekends in Wildwood our just out for a drive like many others on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Motorcycle traffic un-derstandably increases in the summertime as the weather becomes warm-er, but the two-wheeled machines have a strong presence in the county year-round. But on the same page, Motorcycle ac-cidents are often some of the most traumatic, injury-ridden incidents that first responders respond to in the county.

In New Jersey a lone, f i rs t re -sponders see an average of 2,500 accidents involv-ing at least one motorcycle each year, resulting in approximately 300 deaths and over

2,000 injuries. You might suspect this to be the re-sult of the often-portrayed aggressive driving of mo-torcyclists. Television shows such as FX’s “Sons of Anarchy” have helped to perpetuate an idea of arrogant gang members act-ing as though they rule the street. However, according to the U.S. Institute for Highway Safety, more than 65 percent of motorcycle accidents that happen each year come as a result of the driver of a four-wheeled ve-hicle, not the motorcyclist. As a result, motorcyclists are on a constant push to raise awareness about motorcycle safety, both for riders and other drivers on the road.

You may be familiar with the “Look Twice, Save a Life” banners and stickers that can be seen through-out the area. As a driver not on a motorcycle, there

are a few things you can do to decrease your risk of be-ing involved in an accident with one.

It’s important to under-stand that motorcycles are vastly different from four-wheeled vehicles. These vehicles are handled dif-ferently, different stopping distances, turning radiuses and appearances to other drivers. Due to the size of motorcycles, they can easily be missed in mirror checks, and can often fit fully into a blind spot with-out detection of a driver.

When checking your surroundings behind and to the sides of your ve-hicle, take an extra second to look and consider a motorcyclist. The size of motorcycles can also af-fect your ability to judge an oncoming motorcycle’s distance and speed. Always assume a motorcyclist is closer than they appear at first glance. While the stopping distance for mo-torcycles is relatively the same distance as that of normal four-wheeled vehi-cles, several factors should be considered by those behind motorcycles.

Motorcycles often slow their cycles by downshift-ing or letting off of the throttle, resulting in no brake light indicator. Al-ways be aware that a mo-torcycle might be coming to a stop without a notifica-

Seeing isBelieving

LOOK INTO YOUR CHILDREN’S EYESThe importance of a regular eye exam for school-

age children is underscored by the fact that 80 percent of a child’s learning is done visually. Unfortunately, however, research shows that 25 percent of children may have a learning-related vision problem. To make matters worse, children with vision problems, even those such as hyperopia (farsightedness), accommodative (focusing), or binocular dysfunctions (how their eyes work together), may exhibit the same signs as ADD/ADHD in the classroom. As a result, many children are being misdiagnosed with ADD/ADHD when they could be more easily, and far more effectively, treated with corrective lenses. Regular eye exams are a good idea whether or not your child exhibits symptoms of vision problems.

This informative column has been brought to you as a public service. For years, ATLANTIC EYE CENTER and EYE MAX LASIK CENTER has been earning patients’ trust by providing superb

equipment, extensive knowledge, and experience; combine in producing highly accurate results. We look forward to helping you understand your needs and providing information so you may make an informed decision regarding eye health. Our courteous staff is professional and well trained. Please call us at us today. We accept most insurance, including Medicare and Medicaid.

Strange FireBy RABBI JEFFREY

LIPSCHULTZ

Every year around this time we Rabbis have a tough job, and that is finding meaning in the book of Leviticus which we approach every year before Passover. The book of Leviticus is the shortest book of the five books of Moses but it is also the one that seems to have the most cultural relevance in our political understanding of religion. However, it can be difficult to find

meaning in it when read with our modern eyes. The book of Leviticus is often referred to as Sefer Kadoshim, or the book of holiness. It deals primarily with the sacrificial rights of the ancient priesthood and the offerings that were given by the population. It is often difficult to find great modern insight on the procedures of incense and grains offered in an ancient sacrificial ritual but we Rabbis bear down and try and parse the meaning of such ancient dialogue

within our holy books.The book of Leviticus

is very important in our Jewish heritage because just as the book deals with the holiness of the priests, we Jews are told to live holy lives as well. We get the command to live separately from the nations and most of the dietary laws are discussed. The struggle is in trying to find meaning in the ancient ritual of animal sacrifice that is so distant from today’s form of worship.

In this week’s reading

Parshat Shimini presents Moses’ efforts to carry out the first offerings for God after having instructed I s rae l on the proper offerings to be presented at the altar (Leviticus 1-7) and the ordination of the Sons of Aaron as the priesthood of Israel (Leviticus 8). In Leviticus 9, Moses instructs Aaron, A a r o n ’s s o n s , and the elders of Israel to prepare a Hatta’t, or Sin Offering, and an Olah, or Whole Burnt Offering, to be fol lowed by the offerings of the people of Israel, including another Olah, a Minhah, or Grain Offering, and a Zebah Shelamim, or Peace Offering. This was the first time that such offerings were to be presented in Leviticus; the narrative functions as a means to teach the people what offerings were required on behalf of each group. Offerings today carry a symbolic nature of worship and thus we offer our souls to God in place of these sacrifices. Today, prayer takes the place of offerings, so we try to figure out how we connect to God as the ancient priests did in their day.

This week’s reading provides some drama when two of Aaron’s sons make an offering and are consumed by the offering and killed by the fire. Nadav and Abihu, present “strange fire” at the altar, meaning they present an improper offering at the altar and they die as a result. Leviticus 11 then rounds out the Parshah with instructions as to what animals may be used for food by the people of Israel; this is based upon those animals that might be offered at the altar. As Israel is “a nation of priests and a holy nation” to God (Exodus 19:6), we are instructed to eat as if we are priests who served at the Temple altar. This becomes the essential teaching of Leviticus 11, to provide a textual basis for instruction on keeping kosher. This then becomes the link to today’s Jews, to live a holy life, a life that often separates us from others on many occasions when food is consumed.

The ancient book of Leviticus struggles with this today because placing oneself outside the norm of society can be a struggle. Being willing to stand up for something that is not popular is often the most difficult thing we can do and this is what God asks us to do, make our lives a little separate from others and yet still connected. This is the strange fire we Jews try to live with, the imbalance in our lives like a fiddler on a roof, never sure which strong wind will knock us down and again throw us Jews back into the fire of an indifferent world. This is the meaning I see in the book of Leviticus every year, the struggle to understand God’s will and my place in that world. Kashrut demands that we think about our place in the world of creation, the limits

of our own lives, and our relationship to other life forms like animals, and to God. In short, it demands that we conduct ourselves as holy priests at God’s altar when we eat, that we live as a kingdom of priests and a holy nation and that we sometimes move outside the given societal path.

Every year I try to f ind new meaning in the book o f Lev i t i cus because this book was the book o f my Bar Mitzvah. I remember as a young man reading th i s ancient book trying to find its inner meaning

while I was struggling as a boy in the slings and arrows of Junior High. Finding my social place in the world at that time was so essential and yet so petty I wish I could have found the courage to be myself and offer my own strange fire without being consumed by the world that seemed so scary. The one thing I look at as I read the book of Leviticus each year is to always have strength to find your voice and that voice will connect to God and He will receive it, just don’t let it be a voice strange to you or you might be consumed.

Ocean City Boys’ Swim Team Works HardKevin Gill says his Ocean

City boys’ swimming team-mates work hard and are fun to be around.

The Seaville resident led the Red Raiders to the Cape-Atlantic League National Conference title. He won the 400-meter freestyle at the Frank Forde Memorial CAL Meet and placed 13th in the Meet of Champions 500-yard freestyle.

“I was happy and sur-prised about winning the CAL National, said the 5’-10” 145-pound junior. “As a team we wanted to improve our record from last year. It had been a long time since Ocean City won this title.”

After not having won a league crown since 1993, Ocean City went 7-0 in conference competition and finished 12-3 on the season.

The son of Mark and Joanne Gill, Kevin trains year-round, eight times a week, totaling about 20 hours of pool and dry land workouts.

“ D u r i n g t h e h i g h school season my sched-ule includes practices and meets,” said Gill, who also swims for the Egg Harbor Township Seahawks club team. “My biggest chal-lenge is staying completely focused during my swims,

especially the long-distance swims.”

Gill, who has two older brothers, Christian and Ryan, grew up playing soc-cer. An Upper Township Beach Patrol member dur-ing the summer, he started in the pool as an 8-year-old with the Ocean City C Cerpants.

The 17-year-old comple-ments his workouts with plenty of carbohydrates and protein in his diet. He also makes sure he stays hydrated.

Shane McGrath just completed his first season at the helm of Ocean City swimming. A former U.S. Merchant Marine Academy and Rowan University as-sistant coach, McGrath is also in his first year

teaching Health and Physi-cal Education in the com-munity which bills itself as The World’s Greatest Family Resort.

“Our team philosophy is built upon four pillars we discuss often as a team throughout the season: pride, responsibility, re-spect and encouragement,” said McGrath, who also serves as Ocean City’s strength and conditioning coach. “I try to lead by example and live by these pillars in my own life.”

McGrath, who is also a basic swimming and aquat-ics survival instructor, said Gill is determined and possesses self-motivation.

“He loves to compete,” said McGrath, an Avalon resident and Washington

GAMESPEOPLE PLAYBy Joe Rossi • [email protected]

Township native. “His abil-ity to go out fast and main-tain his speed and endur-ance throughout his swims is what he’s improved upon most.”

McGrath, who swam for Rowan and Washington Township High School, has been around the sport his entire life. He realizes who a swimmer like Gill can impact his teammates.

“Kevin leads by example and through his actions in the pool,” said McGrath. “Attention to detail such as turns and mechanics are the finer points that successful swimmers like Kevin work on.”

As a person with sig-nificant background in the sport he coaches, McGrath can prepare his young ath-letes for what they will face in high-level meets.

“I let them know what kind of competitions they are up against and how to swim smartly in their races,” said McGrath. “Kevin wants to continue to drop time in his 200 and 500 and become a top

contender in the state in those events.”

Gill said his coaches worked well with the team and that everyone was responsible for and shared in the Red Raider success this winter.

“I enjoy the challenge of swimming,” said Gill, who is exploring college choices with an eye toward possibly studying physical therapy. “I love to be in the water and I enjoy being part of a team. Everyone improved and played part in our success.”

BPU Rejects(From Page A3)

ating Officer, disagreed in vain. “We’ll eat it if we don’t get it,’’ he said of the federal subsidies.

“The N.J. Board of Public Utilities simply has their facts wrong,” said Rhonda Jackson, director of communications and outreach for Fishermen’s Energy. “They based their rejection of the Fishermen’s Atlantic City Windfarm on the wrong power price. The price proposed by Fisher-men’s Energy to the BPU is $199.17 per MWh. The BPU apparently evaluated the project with a price of power at $263 per MWh, a figure that is not supported by the record. Without that misstep the BPU vote should have led to a positive outcome.”

The plan had garnered support from a variety of groups. Atlantic City granted an easement to the project last year, and the Greater Atlantic City Chamber of Commerce and Atlantic County Board of Chosen Freeholders had also signed on. The New Jersey Division of Rate Counsel, which represents ratepayers, had initially opposed the project, but changed its mind after concluding that it would bring an estimated $150 million in construction,

manufacturing, and investment dollars to the area. New Jersey’s energy master plan calls for the devel-

opment of 1,100MW of wind energy by 2020. Doug O’Malley, executive director of Environment New Jersey, characterized the BPU decision as “foolhardy.” “Gov. Christie said New Jersey would be an offshore wind leader, but this is a blow for offshore wind in the state,” O’Malley said. “We are quickly becoming a laggard on off-shore wind and we’re now watching other Atlantic coastal states moving ahead without us. It’s not a good harbinger for the long-delayed process at the BPU to move forward with New Jersey’s offshore wind program.”

Privately, some thought that there was a more political reason for the rejection. “It clearly seems the Christie administration has a vendetta against this project,” said O’Malley. He speculated that with Christie contemplating a presidential bid in 2016, approval of a clean energy proj-ect wouldn’t sit well with potential right-wing supporters.

On April 29, 2010, Fishermen’s Energy launched an environmental monitoring buoy into the waters near Atlantic City to gather data on wind and water conditions.

Fishermen’s Energy plans to appeal the BPU’s denial to the New Jersey Appellate Court.

By DON TOZER

WOODBINE – Board of Education Business A d m i n i s t r a t o r A l a n Parma lee in t roduced the p ropo sed 2014 -2015 budget at a special meeting March 18. The $5.5-million spending plan calls for a tax rate increase of 5.5 percent. That translates into a $59 tax increase for homes assessed at $122,000, and a $95 increase for homes assessed at $198,000.

Parmalee said that much of the increase is due to

debt service. The board owes $746,023 for solar panels and improvements approved in a referendum in 2009.

Resident Greg Hudgins told the board, “The community can’t afford this. The system does not pay for itself as promised. The kids are fine; it’s the community that needs help. A $95 tax increase may not sound like a lot, but to the retirees on fixed incomes, it hurts.”

Hudgins said that after months of promises the

FishingBY CAROLYN MILLER Line

It’s not too late to sign up for the next Hooked on Fishing, Not on Drugs training but the deadline is March 28. This important program needs our support and commitment.

Hooked On Fishing, Not On Drugs is a nationally recognized program created by the Future Fisherman Foundation. The goal is to encourage school-aged children to avoid tobacco, drug and alcohol usage by providing alternative activities that involve learn-ing to fish, appreciating aquatic and environmental resources, and developing positive life skills.

For Robert Jackson of Gloucester Township, HOF-NOD has taken on a life of its own. Jackson is a vol-unteer firefighter and avid fisher and while he was out of work, he decided to at-

tend the training program. He was convinced that the program could make a dif-ference.

Jackson told me, “Our kids are our future. Fish-ing is something every kid can do.” Jackson has writ-ten a 28-week curriculum course, now approved by the state and has turned the HOFNOD program into a full-fledged educational-recreational adventure. With the support of Mayor Mayer and other township groups, the program is run-ning at Lake Mathilde. This hidden gem boasts the lake, park and cabins; just right for overnight camping.

Jackson invited school age kids to an open house-information event March 8 and held the first meet-ing March 13. Twenty-five kids ages five-14 attended. Jackson said he had to cut

off the registra-tions because so many wanted to sign up. And who wouldn’t want to? The state is fund-ing the program and kids get free rods and tackle boxes and cur-riculum materials. Add to that Jackson’s kid friendly topics like, “What are you Chewsing?”, “What Have You Seine?” and “There’s a Fly on my Line” and kids are hooked.

The schedule for the Gloucester Township chap-ter also includes visits from the Coast Guard, field trips,

and kayaking and boating. In fact they’ll be headed to the Wetlands In-stitute April 26 and will get in some local fishing time, too.

HOFNOD is an excellent way for

young people to participate in constructive recreation and to develop a positive sense of self-worth. It’s the type of program that not only will help reduce drug and alcohol use in youth, but will also bring fami-lies closer by giving them an inexpensive outdoor recreation activity they can do together. For more information call 908-637-4125 ext. 122 or e-mail [email protected] or visit Jackson’s Web site at www.hofnod/gt. Jackson is hoping that other towns and group will follow his

lead.Hooked on Fishing, Not

on Drugs training, April 3 and 4, North Hudson Park Environmental Academy, James J. Braddock Park, North Bergen. To register, e-mail [email protected]. Non-refundable registration fee of $30. Confirmation packet will be e-mailed to you.

Another Fly Tying Day was held for South Jersey Coastal Fly Anglers and Brad Buzzi was back again this year by popular de-mand. The group met at the Bay Center in Ocean City. A fun day was had by all. It was great to be inside tying while the cold wind came blasting across the bay. Not fit for any kind of fishing; perfect for sharing stories and skills.

FINSNGRINS (Captain Jim McClintock, Wild-wood) has added a 16-foot fully rigged for back bay fishing. The little fin will start sailing beginning in April.

Wildwood Crest - How many warrants do you need to have before you're denied bail? To those who say drugs are nonvio-lent crimes and we should give these people help rather than jail, what do we do when these addicts don't want help? Let them continue to steal at will? Maybe jail is the wake up call they need to seek help. If they're in jail, honest people will be protected from them. It's the same people repeatedly.

***Del Haven - It is often– said that renewable energy is expen-sive. We have 100 percent renewable provided by our electric company. It costs two cents more per kilowatt than standard electricity, so our typical bill is $5 higher than it would be from dirtier sources. Our typical bills are around $50/month rather than $45 and that's for an all electric house, except oil heat, for two people. That's the terrible burden placed on us for not polluting our air and skies.

***Town Bank - It won't be long before the cold winds of winter are replaced by the sun and fun of summer. Here is the problem that I have about the beaches along the bay. The out of town people get to run their dogs on the beach, take parking spots from the people who pay taxes, and create noise all hours of the day and night. What do the taxpayers get? They get to pay for the services provided by the township for non-residents. It's a lose, lose situation for taxpayers and businesses alike.

***Wildwood - During the town hall meeting, I noted that Chris-tie said that we're headed toward bankruptcy, yet proclaimed balancing the budget as one of his achievements during his re-election.

***Lower Township - A news article recently reported that the township was going to leave the airport complex that houses the police and courts, because of the expense of a new roof. Isn't building a new complex next to the elementary school with the bonding interest going to be expensive? How much has been spent on the airport complex since 1995? As another spout indicated, couldn't the children's safety be jeopardized? Who will obtain the building that money has been dumped into? More questions than answers, but that appears to be the problem with less than fiscally responsible representatives.

***Erma - A plane blows a tire and the news runs with it like it's a major event, an hour later. It's like the weather reporter standing outside and saying it is cold out, like we cannot tell ourselves.

***Stone Harbor - It is again time for everyone to opine about the council candidates. The incumbents seeking re-election are a perfect representation of the majority of our voters. They will be re-elected by their constitutes. Independent, Democrat, or Republican doesn't matter.

***Del Haven - A property on Bayshore Rd. needs to be cleaned up inside and all around the building. It's a real danger to the neighborhood. If a fire ever started there, all our properties could go up in smoke, just as you see on the news when there are high winds. We live in a neighborhood where people just

don't care. The funny thing is this person does not even live there. I am not the only person that is sick and tired of all the junk collectors in Del Haven!

***North Wildwood - When will people's mentality change? I just read where someone de-friended someone for being a home wrecker. Why is it that the other woman/man is al-ways the one to blame? Why is the other partner in this re-lationship without fault? Are they not the one committed to someone else, but pray on another, filling there heads with lies? The other woman/man is not breaking a com-mitment.

***Villas - I get tired of reading bitter rants from Lower Town-ship Republican committee members against the current administration and council, with three independents in the lead. It would be a waste of taxpayer money to spend more than $2 million to put a new roof on the public safety building. The manager had the sense not to continue with the fishing pier into the bay when it was apparent grant money was not avail-able. The heroin problem is all over the state. Don't point fingers at township officials. Without tax incentives, the airport will continue to rot. The police station there is not a plus.

***Wildwood Crest - To the person who wrote the letter to the editor regarding the anonymity of the Spout Off: Don't bother to read them. There are some of us that enjoy reading them every week and the fact that it re-ally doesn't matter who wrote them.

***Villas - I'm a lifelong Demo-crat who was raised to respect our president, regardless of his party. My grandparents always had a picture of the

president in their house. They taught us its okay to disagree with him, but we should always respect him. Why is there such hate with today's American people? That's why our society has no respect anymore.

***Avalon / Washington Township - To the Avalon spouter talk-ing about climate change: I would like to learn from you the reason the same changes happening here on earth, are happen-ing to every planet in our solar system. I haven't heard of any colonies being put on these planets from earth, but like you and other global warmers have pointed out to us 'slow learners,' we're too dumb to figure it out.

***Erma - If the owner of the Washington Redskins doesn't change their name, Nancy Pelosi is going to send Apache heli-copters and tomahawk missiles at him.

***Court House - There's an old saying: "Where two people are fighting over something, a third party takes it all." The middle class wonders why things are going against them, but as long as they are divided, someone else is winning. We who feel power-less are spouting hostilities at each other, while the politicians are playing golf together. What's wrong with that picture?

***North Wildwood - As a property taxpayer on the island, I feel that the boardwalk Special Improvement District should be abolished. For many years, the public works department hired inexpensive summer help to clean the bathrooms. The tourism department should locate a corporate sponsor to pay for the fireworks, like many of the other towns do. There is no need to pay salaries to any elected or city worker to be on the board of the SID. They are all in it for themselves.

***North Wildwood - North Wildwood should not spend any tax-payer money to upgrade the Eighth Avenue field to benefit only a select demographic for recreation. The city should instead spend money on offering city wide WiFi for all residents. This would not only save the year-round residents from having to pay for internet service, but would be used by old and young taxpayers alike.

***North Cape May - The officers of the court, a.k.a lawyers, make the objective statutes or 'the law,' a relative interpreta-tion to fit their needs. The lawyer asks what hat am I wearing? If I am a prosecutor, I wear the 'tough guy hat.' If I am the so-licitor, I play that game that got me the job, a.k.a what council and the administrator wants. Washington, Jefferson etc. would be amazed at what the 'officers of the courts' have become.

***Villas - I agree with the spouter about putting the new Low-er Township police station at Mulligan Field in Villas. That's where there are a lot of problems all year round, but they will not put a guard there in the winter, off-season months, for the local, year round tax-payers. Only for the summer tourists or 'summer residents.'

***North Wildwood - Why teach a little girl bad things? Look at the front page of the Herald's March 12 issue. Is that a pose that a girl so young should be adopting? What is this meant to teach her? After all, cheer leading is part of a girl's education. This, whatever this is, is important for her in her life to come! Is this a means for readying the young to become go- go dancers some day? Teach them to be good mothers. That's much more important for our survival as a species.

***Wildwood - Why do I see a number of men dressed as women while casually going about their business in the streets of Wild-wood? Is this a cultural thing? Why? If legislation that orders someone to pull their pants up exists, then legislation to wear gender appropriate clothing could be enacted as well. Why not? It's appropriate in this town; it's a family place, right?

***Sea Isle City - Sea Isle officials vehemently denied that road closures and detours were haphazard, illogical and confusing to motorists. City documents were produced showing that all routes conformed to the weekly best crayon line drawing from a second grade coloring class.

***North Cape May - The road along the Delaware Bay in the Town Bank and North Cape May section is becoming a sand dune. Amazingly, the folks who are paying the most in taxes in the township are having their cars and lawns ruined by the blowing sand. Maybe, the township is hoping that the sand will continue to accumulate in front of their homes and will in-crease the taxes, as beach front properties, and that will elimi-nate the road, so that there is no need to protect the biking and walking public.

***Wildwood Crest - To the Villas spouter who stated that Obama cares about the working people and that things are better now: Are you out of your mind? This country is in the toilet.

***Dennis Township - Shame on Dennis Twp. for not creating an animal safety/welfare board. It's about doing the humane thing and being on the right side of twp. history. You can easily judge a person/culture by how its animals are treated.

About half a dozen spouts to this effect were submitted.

Three were published.***

West Wildwood - Where's my money? United States taxpay-ers make large interest payments to the top four technology firms for the $163 billion in U.S. government debt the com-panies own and shelter in tax-free offshore accounts. Apple, Cisco Systems, Google, and Microsoft legally hold $124 billion in U.S. treasury securities and $39 billion in U.S. government agency debt in accounts overseas, allowing them to avoid the 35 percent, maximum, corporate tax rate in the United States, according to securities and exchange commission reports.

***Villas - MH370 is on the ground somewhere, under terroristic control. A gut feeling is rarely wrong.

***Wildwood / Philadelphia - It's the second week of March. Where are the television, radio and billboard ads for the Wild-woods? Get your act together Wildwood! Don't you want peo-ple to come to your town this summer?

***Wildwood Crest - What is the Crest coming to? Cheese deliv-eries on side streets and now heroin too? The 'rats' are every-where! Keep up the good work officers and rid the community of them!

***Stone Harbor - To all the people down here for the Stone Harbor Shiver: That is great, but can you please stop telling lies saying you live down here year round? There is a problem with that, 99 percent of the true locals know who is a lifer here and who is a tourist, plus driving around in a car with out of state tags doesn't help your case.

***North Wildwood - At least the guy who wrote the letter about spout off had the courage to sign his name, right or wrong. Not like me. I write to spout off because I admit that I don't have the guts to see the people I talk about. I don't want to make people mad at me.

***North Cape May - I agree with the spout about the age-re-stricted adult community letting renters in. Our rules, regula-tions and by-laws for our community state that it's not allowed. We have a few rented now already. No one wants this. This will only cause future problems.

***Court House - "They are willing to drive this country down an economic path of austerity that has ruined economies in Greece and Italy, amongst other countries." This is a quote from a liberal in a letter to the editor regarding Republicans. That quote represents exactly what liberals are doing! Open your eyes to reality. The Republicans did not shut down the government. That was the doing of the Dems. The Dems are actually the party of 'no.'

***Villas - There were more than a few council people in L.T. who say that they don't read the spout off section in the Herald, but I beg to differ. Their eyes are affixed to this section each week. The spout is a great service to all citizens and the Herald should be applauded!

***North Cape May - Could the ice cream truck driver who ser-vices North Cape May please turn the music off when the truck is in park? I understand driving around, the truck plays music, but when the truck is in park in the same spot for five to eight minutes, and the music is on repeat at children's bedtimes, it's enough to drive a parent crazy.

***Erma - The Herald needs to put like and dislike areas to check off in the comment sections of the letters to the editor.

***Rio Grande - With the clouds as my guides, I laugh. The sky is my friend when humans aren't. Pain is gone for a moment, until the police appear. They'll remind me, that I'm not a free man and never will be.

***Cape May - What a breath of fresh air with the newly ap-pointed police chief in Cape May. Good luck Chief Sheehan.

***Court House - Having read spouts regarding homeowner snow removal, I can say, as a local realtor, that while insurance provi-sos may carry some protection from lawsuits involving slip and slides, there still may be financial penalties, particularly with regard to absentee homeowners. Our area offers numerous property management firms, and snowbirds enjoying Florida sunshine should have made an honest attempt to contact one of these businesses as proof in case of a lawsuit.

***Avalon - Gun rights supporters and the NRA argue that we don't need new gun control laws; just enforce the laws we have now. Then in the next breath they say that criminals don't obey laws. If criminals don't obey laws, what's the point in having the laws we have now? Apparently, according to the 'logic' of gun rights supporters and the NRA, we might as well have no laws at all.

***North Cape May - It's not really about 'who' wrote the spout. It's about the fact that a lot of the time what is said is not true, or blown out of proportion. I do read it for the entertainment,

OnlineSPOUT OFFWildwood - Now the mayor of Wildwood is concerned about how high the property taxes are for homeowners? What happened during his first, second and third terms in office? I guess now he realized that the homeowners are broke. Time to tax commercial property, vendors, and event holders. Well, it is about time. The homeowners need a break from the high taxes. This should have been done a long time ago. Commenter - I don't think the answer is to tax the businesses. They are taxed enough. I think the answer is to address all of the run down properties and encourage investment in Wildwood. Get those property values up. Get rid of the scuzzy people and encourage the nice people to buy property, the kind of people that will take care of their property and take pride in their home. I want the nice neighborhoods to grow, instead of the reverse.

but I know that most of it is sour grapes. It's like reading a tab-loid, not really news. Some people think that this stuff is true.

***Villas - The days of Villas being a wholesome place to live, affordable and safe for your children is over. Where can the good people with small incomes live? I was born and raised in Villas, but now I feel unsafe walking the streets. The quality of the people coming into town could never be contained in this spout. I wonder what our elected representatives are doing, other than lip service for where we were and what we have become.

Elected officials cannot regulate who moves into any mu-nicipality.

***Villas - Thank you to the Villas VFW. You continue to make the old time feel of the Villas possible. The service is great, the prices reasonable, and where good community people gather. Your special events like the monthly spaghetti dinners and en-tertainment are value oriented and community focused. The commander and staff are always personable. God Bless Ameri-ca and all those whose pictures are on the wall, who sacrificed much for who and what we are. Thanks for those serving.

***South Seaville - Why would a church have people working on a Sunday morning? I know they are rushing to rebuild, but as a Christian fellowship, it seems they are not showing much faith in or respect for the deity they worship!

Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath." Mark 2:26-28

***Petersburg - The federal government and NJ should stop beach replenishment. The National Flood Insurance Program should be terminated. Anyone that wants to live near water should should do so at their own risk and expense. Private insurance companies should be able to charge coastal property owners whatever they want for property insurance. No one forced these wealthy people to live near the ocean. Why should taxpayers have to subsidize their decision to live in a risky loca-tion? The National Flood Insurance Program and beach replen-ishment are a total waste of tax dollars.

***Wildwood Crest - To the DT spouter whose dog had to be put down after getting hit by a car: He/She blames other dog owners for walking dogs on their street. If your dog is on your property, it must be confined to your property by something called a fence. If your dog is off your property, it must be under your control on something called a leash. Do you really believe that other people need your permission to walk their dogs on your street?

***Villas - I agree with the spout about Villas. I raised my son here and now he is noticing the changes. Why are the drug dealers given free reign over my neighborhood? They are always trying scams, like I will fix your doors, wash your siding, shovel snow; trying to get into the house.

Contact Lower Township Police Department to register your concern.

***Wildwood Crest - We should do nothing in response to Crimea. Let the Western European countries handle it. They have been able to operate cradle to grave Socialist govern-ments because, unlike the U.S., they haven't had to choose between social policies and military expenditures. We've been the world's policemen and the U.S. taxpayers have footed the bill. Now, we're broke. How about U.S. and Canada handle the Western hemisphere, Western Europe takes care of Eastern Eu-rope and Africa, and Australia, New Zealand and Japan handle the Pacific. Imagine the savings put back into the pockets of the U.S. taxpayer.

***Wildwood - A Villas spouter says big pharmacies and doctors are to blame for the increase in drug abuse. No they aren't. Any patient has the choice of deciding to refuse any Rx. They don't have to get it filled and don't have to pick it up. Patients make their own decisions, just as each person can decide whether or not to begin abusing highly addictive substances and risk addic-tion. I'm tired of people telling me how I need to do more to stop addiction in this county and get involved. No I don't. The blame rests solely on the addict. I'll take care of my family and you take care of yours.

***Villas - The missing Malaysian plane is nothing more than a Putin-triggered plot to mask the taking of Ukraine. That way, by the time most people become aware of what Putin did, he can respond with a page taken from the Clinton playbook, "Oh, that's old news."

***Lower Township - Got to love the spout from North Cape May, saying that spouts are not true, read for entertainment, most are sour grapes and like reading a tabloid. I guess this spouter has God given qualities, and is able to analyze the un-known. Following this logic then, spouts about governmental faults and qualities should be eliminated for 'Dancing with the Stars,' or better yet, read a paper when checking out of a su-permarket. Human beings have been searching for the truth for centuries.

***Town Bank - I have heard people complain over and over at council meetings about Clubhouse Drive and neither coun-cil has done anything. Now, council is allowing Beach Drive, which is visited by many tourists, to deteriorate to a deplorable condition, just like Clubhouse. Will someone do something about these roads?

***Wildwood Crest - "Car dealers fear Tesla. In states across the country, powerful car dealer associations have lobbied to ensure the electric car maker and its direct-sales model are kept out. This movement claimed another victory this week when New Jersey banned Tesla stores in the state." How do car dealers lobby? With money. Who gets the money? Could it be the governor? Why isn't New Jersey going to get non polluting cars? What right does Christie have to say who can and can't do business in a Republican, capitalistic state like NJ?

***Wildwood Crest - I hate all this talk about shutting down the government. I wish they really would shut down the govern-ment. Start with the National Security Agency, FEMA camps, Homeland Security and the FBI. Most of all, get rid of Con-

gress. We'll use Ouija boards to summon the spirits of the Founding Fathers and they can run the country again, with integrity.

***North Wildwood - The grade for North Wildwood's snow removal is F. I can't believe the streets were not cleaned of the snow this year. Mayor, what is the reason for the lack of snow removal?

***Court House - According to consumer reports, gas prices averaged $4.11 in July 2008, several months before Presi-dent Obama was elected.

***Town Bank - I am pleased to see that Dave Perry is throw-ing his hat in the ring to be our representative in Ward 2. I am a senior citizen and an independent who voted for Neville, Beck and Clark. I am completely disappointed in the things they said they wanted to do, but never ac-complished. The appointment of a non-resident, who the mayor said was hand picked, shows me that politics comes first.

***North Cape May - Taxes have always been based on

the size of your home or the amount of your income. Nothing new there. What is the problem?

Income is not a consideration for residential property as-sessments.

***Villas - Don't blame the current administration for any decline in Villas. I was warned in 1997 not to buy a home there or in Del Haven because packs of teenagers roam the streets at all hours, with mischief in mind. When they are buying heroin, when they are smashing a mailbox or spray painting a car, when they are drinking beer in the woods, and when they go to school hungry, where are their parents? Are they working all night in a casino or passed out cold on the sofa?

***West Wildwood - A very big thank you to all in West Wild-wood who helped clean our streets, walks and driveways. All night long, during the Mar. 16-17 storm, public works was out plowing our roads. I have never asked for help with my walk-way before, but I called borough hall, and within an hour, a young officer was at my home helping me. We may flood at times, but there is nowhere else I would want to live.

***Dennisville - I really don't understand why our township won't allow the kids of Woodbine to play baseball for us. We play football together. Last year we had two major teams and now we have one, yet you made our boys come out and tryout and none of them were picked. Why didn't you just pick some of our boys who were more than capable of playing on the major team, add the Woodbine boys and made the other team. Was that too easy for you? Not only are you hurting our boys, you are hurting Cape May County, as I now heard Woodbine has to play for Middle.

***North Cape May - Most of you are not aware that a jogging promenade along the North Cape May beach has permits filed. Is it going to be jogging only? Are there going to be entrances

at every street that has access? Are the parking meters next? Are the commercial businesses coming as well? If so, our taxes should be going way down, since we have 'been paying for our beautiful view' all this time. My family has paid taxes for over 30 years. Now that the Fourth of July is going to be every weekend, I hope more police, trashcans and traffic are going to keep our children, pets and homes safe!

***Wildwood - Now the mayor of Wildwood is concerned about how high the property taxes are for homeowners? What hap-pened during his first, second and third terms in office? I guess now he realized that the homeowners are broke. Time to tax commercial property, vendors, and event holders. Well, it is about time. The homeowners need a break from the high tax-es. This should have been done a long time ago.

***Wildwood - Regarding the function of Spout Off: As a teacher here, I find spouts a perfect teaching tool to develop critical thinking skills, while at the same time making it a fun learning experience, which my students enjoy. Of course, for those with something to hide or those in denial, spouts may be painful, but that's life, isn't it? The most popular spouts expose all the messes the professional politicians down here have created.

***Villas - Obama is in so far over his head that we have become the laughing stock of the world, especially in Russia. Conse-quently, we are all at risk inasmuch as every two bit thug thinks they can take us. Let's start electing presidents for their com-petence and not because they are some part of a specific group; i.e., race, sex, or religion.

***Lower Township - Can someone explain to me why Lower Township High School has a separate school board than the elementary schools, as well as busing? It seems like a lot of extra taxpayer money spent. In my old area, there was one bus company and one school board for eight schools in the district.

***Villas - I must admit, I came close to buying a home in Villas, until I read about all the crime. What is being done to clean it up?

***North Wildwood - I discovered late afternoon March 17, that I had been plowed in. My husband was able to clear our walks and stairs, but the driveway apron was impossible. Even though it was after hours, I called the North Wildwood public works and the mayor's office, leaving messages asking that they please clear my driveway, as I had a 9 a.m. physical therapy ap-pointment Mar. 18. At 8:15 a.m. March 18, there was a knock on the door and the driver of the front-loader was there to clear the driveway! I am so grateful!

***Sea Isle City - The Sea Isle City police do a reverse 9-1-1 call during bad weather to remind you to move your cars off the street so that the snow plows can do their job. Yet, when they plow some of the streets, they only plow down the middle of the street. Why do they do this?

***Villas - To the NCM spouter about taxes: The same size home on the bay or beach block is significantly higher than somewhere else in the municipality. The same size home in Delaware is 80 percent cheaper than in NJ, so your premise is faulty. You mentioned the amount of income. What about un-earned income that qualifies at a lower tax rate, such as quali-fied stocks? A wealthy person would pay less in taxes in many cases, than a working person. So there is something new to that! Simplicity, unfortunately, doesn't work with property or income taxes, especially in New Jersey.

***Lower Township - So glad I am not a kid anymore. My 8-year-old starts the day with 90 minutes of straight reading, every day! Then there are two weeks of state mandated testing. Ev-erything is pressure; pressure that you need to do great on the state tests. Then there is very little time for open discussion, music,art or physical education, and forget recess, it hardly ex-ists anymore.

***Town Bank - To the person from North Cape May complaining about the sand blowing on Shore/Beach in North Cape May/Town Bank. Ever since the sand dunes have been building up, there has been less and less sand blowing. Years ago, almost ev-ery house along the road had to have a brick/concrete wall to protect the house. Now, the only place the sand is blowing bad is the pathways to the beach and where people have cut down the dune grass. If you want the city to do something, heavily fine the people who cut the dune grass in front of their homes.

***Court House - This week, Democratic State Sen. Ray Lesniak proposed a five cent per gallon gas tax to pay for transportation repairs and improvements and Assembly Speaker Vincent Pri-eto (D) has indicated he would be open to considering several new taxes and fees to boost revenue for the state, including a tax on water consumption. Such tax hikes are driving residents to states with lower tax rates. In 2010 alone, New Jersey lost

taxable income of $5.5 billion because residents changed their state of domicile. Our legislators must stop the ex-cess taxes and spending, and lower property taxes and es-tate taxes.

***Wildwood - To the Wild-wood spouter saying now is the time to tax commercial property: Commercial prop-erty has been taxed as long as homeowner property has been. Getting less for the buck, businesses don't have kids in schools, often pay for their own trash pick up, and on top of that, have fees for fees. Mercantile licenses, tourism development, fire registration, etc. are excuses to get money from us. Busi-nesses are disappearing from Wildwood. Homeowners may one day have to pay the most cost for running this city.

***Court House - From a Middle Township ordinance: "The code official is authorized to enter the structure or prem-ises at reasonable times to inspect or perform the duties imposed by this code." Isn't this a violation of the Fourth/Fifth Amendment? What hap-pened to the Bill of Rights?

***Dennis Township - Con-cerning the Herald letter to the editor titled: "To Senator Van Drew: Please Oppose the Pinelands Pipeline:" In fact, just the opposite has oc-curred, in which Van Drew has published his intentions to do all within his powers to make the pipeline happen. Where is the transparency if Van Drew is going to lead the charge and use his political clout?

***Rio Grande - Thank you Mid-dle Township public works, for plowing my street faith-fully every snow storm. You all deserve a raise.

***Cape May - I would like to thank the City of Cape May for the wonderful job they did in plowing the streets March 17. It was comforting to hear the plow coming down our street in the early morning. When I awakened, the street was clean, navigable and en-abled me to start my day. Job well done.

***Dennisville - In the context of many dogs incessantly barking for hours, tethered or penned outside in weather temperatures below 32 de-grees, or above 90 degrees: I wonder if this is a sign of happy, contented dogs, or is it indicative of dogs that are dis-tressed, neglected or abused? When officially enacted, I wonder how this question of noise and barking dogs will be received before the ani-mal welfare advisory board in Middle Township? I wonder how they will address this there?

***Erma - To the spouter about Lower Township HS: There is no Lower Township HS, it is

Lower Cape May Regional, and it covers students from Cape May Point, Cape May, West Cape May, and Lower Township. The high school has a board of ed. with representatives from each of those municipalities. Lower Township Elementary is a school district for the children in Lower Township only. Repre-sentatives are chosen from only that taxpayer base.

***Avalon - Thanks to the Avalon public works for the job on the snow roads again. We are lucky to have these dedicated public workers in our borough.

***Court House - Thank you to the knights in shining armor who stopped to help the woman in distress because she had skidded into the marshes along Stone Harbor Boulevard, in the terrible road conditions late Mon. morning March 17. I am grateful to be in a community whose men are so gracious.

***Villas - Why don't we just call the Villas 'dog town U.S.A.?'

***Del Haven - More trash being gathered in Del Haven. Why do these people get away with this?

***Avalon - Now we are going to fine people and prohibit ciga-rette smoking on our beaches, but Obama wants to legalize pot smoking for recreational use for everybody; pot you can get high on and cause damage while driving. Cigarettes don't really harm anybody on the beach. This is the most ignorant law I have ever heard of. Letting this law pass will drive people away from the beach resorts and they will go somewhere else for their summer vacation. The E.P.A. is totally out of control with this ruling and needs to be reigned in!

***Wildwood - The city would rather go after new property own-ers than fix the problem with the sub-standard properties. Also, too many people work for the city, which is small, and the city looks bad. Time to sub-contract to get the work done. Since most of the property taxpayers do not have businesses or work for the city, why should we pay for their gains? Let them pay more in fees and taxes. Time for beach/ boardwalk fees.

***Wildwood / Camden - Talk about trashed lots and properties. Code enforcement must need glasses. It has been 15-20 years of this stuff going on in a small city. Something smells rotten.

***Wildwood - What is the mayor wasting our tax dollars on now at city hall? It is horrible they ripped out all the plantings. For what?

***Wildwood - Mayor Troiano: The beach is 1,500-1,800 feet wide, so it is big enough for all the events at 1,000 feet in width. As a taxpayer, I want more events to generate revenue to help pay for city government. This is good for Wildwood.

***Wildwood - To the liberal left: You call Republicans and tea party people racist terrorists with no facts to back up your claims. A terrorist is someone that instills fear in people. Un-lawful actions like the IRS, DOJ raiding Gibson guitar factory, and the NSA recording all electronic communication; have all been done under President Obama and Atty. Gen. Eric Holder.

***North Wildwood - You are quick to announce arrests. Wish you were just as quick to announce that all charges were dropped. Not fair.

If the individual or their attorney contacts the Herald with a copy of court documents stating charges were dropped, we will update on the original story. Lack of manpower pre-vents us from overseeing each court case.

***Wildwood - Way to be business friendly. Tax beach events and leave them no choice but to move to the Crest or North Wildwood, where beach fees are much more reasonable. How are you going to stabilize taxes with no beach revenue now? You just sent all of that business and economic activity out of Wildwood.

***Cold Spring - There's a large, Russian speaking community in Newark, NJ. Will Putin come here and annex it under the same excuse he used in Crimea? It is history repeating itself, with several leaders assuming the role of 'Chamberlain the ap-peaser.'

***Wildwood - Just wondering if the three feet of sand on the end of the ramp that takes up about 20 feet, behind the con-vention center, is going to be removed? It's pretty dangerous. When walking on it, you end up standing a foot from the top of the rail.

***Town Bank - Manager Voll continues on his misinformation that it is the L.T. MUA that has destroyed the roads, when wa-ter pipes were installed in many areas of the township. You are right that it was the contractors hired by the MUA. However, it is the township's responsibility, and the manager, to inspect that the work is done in a satisfactory manner. It is the same for other utilities or contractors opening streets.

***Cape May Beach - $37 million for a new county jail? Put that taxpayer money back into much needed employment opportu-nities. As for the inmates, let's put up pup tents and portable toilets. Let these felons sleep and live in extreme conditions. Maybe this will teach them to live life the American way!

***Cape May Beach - Been laid up at home after back surgery. It had been snowing for 14 hours and somehow my beautiful wife made it to work. Doctors orders were "don't do anything but relax and heal." The greatest friends in the world showed up at noon and shoveled our driveway and walkway! Thanks from Birch Street!

***Lower Township - I think most people want to see govern-ment in action during the township meeting. There are too many important issues in the township that should be ad-dressed. If I want to see a performance where the script is written, than I will attend a play. The 'all is well' treatment of the issues is not governing.

***Stone Harbor - What a wonderful idea to have the 105-year-old Pebbles Guest House be the new home of the Stone Harbor Museum and Maritime Annex. The presentation at the bor-ough council meeting was excellent and widely supported. Let's make it happen.

***North Wildwood - In response to the spout off about nurse practitioners: I agree they have their place in medicine, but when I pay to see a specialist, I want to see the specialist. Not a nurse practitioner who may be trained, but is not a doctor and does not have the expertise of a doctor. You should not agree to see a nurse practitioner if you are paying big bucks to see that specialist. If you do, the price should be much lower.

***Erma - To the Erma spouter who wants to know why some-thing can't be done about the eyesore on Myrtle Ave.: All you have to do is call or visit the township building and speak to "code enforcement." I stopped by the municipal building and immediately spoke to someone there. They gave me informa-tive, courteous, and professional answers to my questions about what is being done. They even called a couple of weeks later with an update. It was as easy as "spouting."

***Lower Township - Reading all of these pessimistic spouts makes me want to go back for another tour overseas. Between the crime, the high property taxes and the never ending gripe of the government shutting down in the county, worrying about mortars and sand storms doesn't really seem too bad anymore.

***Dennis Township - Why does Dennis Township allow dogs in the municipal building that are not service animals?

***Cape May - Regarding all the complaints about Villas and Low-er Twp.: The parents are a huge part of this for sure. Our police department and prosecutors are doing an awesome job of try-ing to fight this fight. The positive changes the police and other agencies are making is because they are growing and changing with the issues of today.

***Erma - Why does each school in the Lower Township district need a principal and vice principal? Each building houses only two grades. Memorial holds kindergarten and preschool, Mit-nick has first and second grades, Maud Abrams has third and fourth, etc. Why do we need to pay four principals? What do they do in the bigger areas where the schools hold grades K-8? They have one principal to handle them all. Think of the mon-ey that goes to the totals of four salaries!

***Dennis Township - After reading all the stories in the news about ATVs and distressed dogs in Dennis Township, the con-clusions reached by Township committee is that everything is hunky-dory here and they will do nothing. However, Shore Animal Control says complaints are ringing off the hook in Cape May County. Letters of complaint say that an 82-year-old can't convalesce after brain surgery and a nurse can't sleep and perform her job. Officials say all of this is about one disgruntled neighbor. Wow!

About a dozen spouts to this effect were submitted. Two were published.

***Lower Township - To the Erma spouter asking about princi-pals: The state requires it! The state wastes tons of taxpayer money by requiring certain things that the schools and districts have no control over.

***Upper Township - Van Drew needs to stop promoting the gas pipeline. We don't need it. Existing power plants, both close and far away, generate more than enough electricity that can easily be transmitted through existing power lines. The B. L. England power plant is obsolete and is an eyesore. It would be best for the county if the plant does close.

(From Page A20)

Construction Progress PhotosBy AL CAMPBELL

In a Jan. 22 Spout Off, a resident of Lower Township wrote, “Would love to see The Herald print weekly progress pictures of the Parkway overpass construction.

Choose a spot of two at each intersection and take a picture of that same day each week. I don’t get up the GSP all that often, and

don’t want to drive there just to see.”

In this installation snapped March 22 is northern side of the overpass looking west on Crest Haven Road, which is closed to traffic.

***Wildwood Crest - Maybe the city will hold the complaining parties accountable for the enormous bill the city is footing. Isn't this the second time in a few years that the city has had to fork out big money on frivolous "accusations" against the mayor, chief, and whomever else can be put in the cross hairs? Maybe the complaining parties know each other and are look-ing to ride off into the sunset with a bag of money? Please keep us updated.

***North Cape May - The representative in ward two should ex-cuse himself by abstaining from voting on school issues, since his wife is an employee. Is self interest his prime motivation? Maybe, you should watch the third ward councilman to under-stand the dynamics of government. Be independent minded and involved with the issues within your ward.

***Court House - It is now spring time. If you're going to leave your Christmas lights up, at least fix them. They are hanging half on and half off your gutter. Then you will be ready for Christmas in July.

***Town Bank - Everyone in Lower Township should see how their government operates by visiting the Township of Lower website and viewing the March 17 council meeting, between 14:45 and 24:45 of the meeting minutes. The issue was brought up by Councilman Simonsen, about the use of a credit card by a few councilmen. The interplay between Beck, Nev-ille, Voll, the PR person, and Placard is amazing. Government for them, by them and only them!

About half a dozen spouts to this effect were submitted. One was published.

***Court House - Raise the gas tax a few cents and get rid of all bridge and highway tolls. Tolls interfere with traffic flow and are a safety hazard, even EZ pass. Tolls make NJ very business and tourist unfriendly. Tolls are the least efficient and most ex-pensive way to fund highway and bridge repair.

***North Cape May - Lower Township schools do not have vice principals or assistant principals. Each school has 450 to 480 students. Compare these numbers to local K-6 or K-8 schools.

***Dennis Township - DT OEM: Do you have an answer? Does the the OEM have plans? Do they have meetings? Maybe they could try different things that have been suggested in previous spouts and be ready for the next big storm or incident. All those things could help this town when it needs it.

***Wildwood - What do you think about the Wildwood assess-ment of homes? Do you think you can really get that price if you sold your house today? It is time to take this tiny island, with all of its separate municipalities, and combine them into one government. There must be an organizer out there that can educate the rest of us on how to make this happen.

***Wildwood - As a homeowner and landlord renting one unit, I have to pay for two fire inspections per a bedroom rental license fee and put up with the people from the state of NJD-CA's multi-unit code enforcement. NJ and Wildwood gouge the taxpayers. Since no one in the Wildwood city government looks out for the homeowners, I have no sympathy for the busi-nesses. At least you can still gouge the tourists during the sum-mer season to make your money. Also, almost all of the public improvement projects benefit businesses over homeowners.

***Wildwood - Wildwood needs beach event fees to cover the cost of city services during the events. North Wildwood and the Crest cannot have large events due to no parking, rest-rooms, etc. What Wildwood needs to do is push for more and larger events/concerts to bring in more revenue for the city. The city should work with promoters or NJSEA; anyone who can help get events to Wildwood. With more events in the fu-ture, maybe fees could be lowered, along with property taxes.

***Wildwood - President Obama has gotten what he wanted. During his tenure, Russia has become the world's only super power, the Middle East is on fire, and terrorism is growing around the world. Our economy is getting worse every day. Obama and Attorney General Holder pick and choose which laws to enforce or not, the ACA law is changed weekly, without Congress voting on the law. This is what America gets when Democrats/Liberals and union members vote for an unquali-fied community organizer to be president of the U.S.A, and until recently, the free world. Russia, Iran and China now laugh at America.

***Court House - CMC flounder fishermen have been let down by NJ politicians. 2014 regulations have NY going down in size by 1" to 18," Del. going down 1" to 16" and NJ going up a 1/2" to 18." NJ will have a 128 day season, Del. a 365 day season. Fishermen who normally come to CMC will begin to wake up and find Del. more attractive, with no sales tax, no beach fees, with clean beaches and lifeguards, and lower weekly rentals.

***Dennis Township - If you have an issue with a department, you should report your concerns to the township committee member that is in charge of that department, and have them address it. That information can be found on the DT homepage.

***North Wildwood - To the teacher using spout off as a teach-ing tool: You must be joking. Of all the things you could use to teach kids, why would you choose nonsense like that? Most of it is not true and has nothing to back it up. Listening to people complain and trash others is not what I want my kid doing in the classroom. Did your supervisor approve that lesson plan? If so, I want my tax money back.

***Diamond Beach - Thank you for cleaning the beach at Raleigh Ave. It only took six months!

***Wildwood - Yes, addiction is a disease and people need treat-ment and help. Options for rehab should be available to help these people who want to change their lives. However, once you become a criminal, you deserve to be locked up. When you steal to fuel your habit, when you deal drugs to others, when you endanger other people and innocent children by your be-havior while on drugs, I hope they lock you up and throw away

the key. ***

Ocean City - In response to the editor's note on the ATV spout: Why not publish them all? Isn't this a serious problem in a seriously dysfunctional municipality?

The point has been adequately made that apparently a great number of people oppose ATVs.

***South Dennis - As for me, I am in my 70's and I enjoy seeing and hearing children having a good time! I'm glad they have ATVs to ride! I'm glad they have the boardwalks to enjoy! I'm glad they have a beach to surf, swim and play on! Might I sug-gest that you give thanks that the children have those activities, instead of some type of mischief to engage in!

***Lower Township - To those who didn't feel motivated to vote last time around. This year and 2016 is your last chance to avoid the total disaster laying just ahead of us. If the Repub-licans don't get in to clean up the mess, the nation will be broken, and like Humpty-Dumpty, nobody will ever be able to put it together again. Then there won't be anybody to give you the goodies you expect.

***Erma - Michelle Obama is going on vacation to China with her mother, on taxpayer money. Wonder if she is borrowing the money from China to pay for it? Maybe she will bring back a plane load for our grandchildren to repay.

***Stone Harbor - Did I hear that the Stone Harbor firehouse is slated to have an elevator installed? For who? The public isn't welcome upstairs and stairs are good for your health. What a waste. They should be ashamed to think they needed this.

***Court House - With all the important things to be concerned about in our lives, people keep beating this ATV thing to death. My daughter lives in this area, and can't understand what the problem is. Get a life.

***Avalon - To the Wildwood spouter who claims that Leviticus 19:34 applies only to legal immigrants: The passage makes no distinction between legal and illegal. Where do you see those words in the passage? If Leviticus is the literal truth, then "foreigner" includes both legal and illegal immigrants. On the other hand, if you're saying that the passage is open to interpretation, then you're saying that it is not the literal truth because there are no if's, and's, but's, maybe's, or possibly's in the literal truth; no exceptions to or interpretations of the literal truth. It can only be taken literally.

***Wildwood - To the North Wildwood spouter who touted how gas prices went from $1.84/gallon to $4 under Obama: What you are ignoring is that all commodities dropped when the stock market dropped 8,000 points as well, just before Obama got into office. Also, the job market was shedding 800,000 jobs per month in the months leading up to Obama's presidency.

***Wildwood - To Wildwood/Philadelphia: Without shoobies, my town is quiet, peaceful, I can park anywhere for free, and I don't have to hear drunk kids partying all night, or dodge cy-clists who don't obey traffic laws.

***North Wildwood - I read the following regarding the new beach event fees: Mayor Ernie Troiano said "We’re down there all year long, maintaining the beach. That’s a lot of work. That’s a lot of taxpayer dollars maintaining that beach." Why is the city maintaining the city beaches between October and May when no other city on the Jersey shore does this? This is a lot of taxpayer dollars going to waste. The city of Wildwood doesn't need that many people in public works year round.

***North Wildwood - Bravo to the Wildwood group for petition-ing the open space board on the $1 million they want to use in Wildwood. Let us taxpayers decide how to spend our open space tax dollars, since we lost confidence in the county free-holders.

SuccessStories

“After the first week I felt so much more energy. I’m not a morning person... now, I wake up in the morning and I’m ready to go. In the afternoon I’m not dragging like I used to be, and at nighttime I sleep so much better.” … “I probably lost 34 lbs, and the main thing for me is to try to get off some of the medications I’m on. My blood pressure now is [normal].”

- Tim Moore

I feel a lot better, I definitely have more energy. Sleeping at night is so much better, I can pretty much stay asleep the whole night, whereas before I was awake every couple of hours.”

Understanding the Investor in YouBy MICHAEL LIERSCH

director of behavioral economics for

Merrill Lynch Global Wealth Management

In an experiment con-ducted by Stanford Univer-sity researchers, young par-ticipants viewed onscreen digital avatars of them-selves. Some participants saw images of themselves at their current age, while others saw images of their future selves, aged via a process called immersive virtual reality. Participants who saw their future im-ages allocated more than twice as much to their retirement accounts as par-ticipants who saw only youthful images.

This study is part of the growing field of behavioral finance, and can create a starting point for a collab-orative conversation about your investing behavior. The idea is to make the investor’s appetite for risk and other behavioral traits a more integral part of the planning process.

Key to this process is understanding your Invest-ment Personality, which takes into account your mindset and behavioral tendencies as an investor—including unknown biases and decision-making blind spots. Understanding this can allow you to invest in a way that’s more in line with your goals, risk toler-ance, liquidity needs and time horizon. It may also help you avoid costly invest-ing choices that can result when temporary market events cause shifts in your sentiment.

That’s not to say that emotions are something to avoid. On the contrary, you should embrace and work with your emotions. There are three key components of understanding your In-vestment Personality:

• Investment Mindset – your comfort with and willingness to take invest-ment risk

• Investment Approach –

the elements and solutions that can be included in an investment strategy to help you stay invested

• Investment Purpose – your reasons for investing a n d w h o m you’d like your investment to benefit

D i f f e r e n t investors have different needs and preconcep-tions affected by many ele-ments, includ-ing their as-sets, experience with the markets and age. Better understanding who you are as an investor can help you develop a financial strategy that better serves your needs.

Younger investorsConsider a young inves-

tor beginning to dabble in the markets: Having only known volatility and uncer-tainty in her investing life-time, a natural distrust of the markets seems logical. In behavioral finance terms, this is what’s known as “recency bias,” or the belief that a short-term scenario reflects how a situation will progress. Ironically, “playing it safe” may turn out to be riskier in the long run for younger investors. By not investing, younger investors may be accepting a sure loss that’s equivalent to inflation.

A better understanding of one’s investment person-ality can help by allowing risk-averse investors to make decisions based on reality rather than percep-tion. Equally important is having a more complete understanding of your goals and how to help achieve them. We often tend to think of risk in terms of losses, but true risk is not being able to achieve the goals we define for our-selves.

Young investors hesitant to wade into the markets can more clearly determine their relationship to risk by

first considering their long-term objectives, and then devising an investment strategy. Are they more likely to have the assets

they hope for in retirement by opt-ing out of the mar-kets? They may want to consider taking some mar-ket risk—albeit with some degree of protection.

Looking ahead to retirement

Investors who have watched the markets rise and

fluctuate over the course of a lifetime have differ-ent concerns. Many baby boomers approaching re-tirement worry about out-living their finances, but there are steps they can take to reduce this risk, including delaying Social Security or purchasing an immediate annuity. Inves-tors’ perceptions, howev-er, often hinder long-term planning that may require committing a lump sum of money. Their perceived loss of control makes a rational decision seem counterin-tuitive.

Enhancing one’s aware-ness of how different strate-gies fit together to achieve personal goals can help. Income solutions like an-nuities should be viewed as insurance rather than investments, since they hedge longevity risk.A thoughtful approach to allo-cating assets helps you feel comfortable and assured in retirement but may reduce your upside potential.

Better understanding yourself as an investor isn’t necessarily meant to change your attitudes or behaviors. By recognizing your reactive traits and investing comfort level, as well as considering the pur-pose of your investments, this behavioral approach allows you to productively set your financial goals. Understanding why we make the choices we do is crucial to investors at every

stage, for their present and future selves.

2009 referendum would not increase taxes; the school board has raised taxes each year since the project was approved. “Nine cents the first year, five cents the second, and now this. The roof is killing us,” said Hudgins. “Wood-bine already has the second highest school tax rate in the county, and we have another 13 years to pay on this project.”

Despite the objections, the board voted unani-mously to approve the budget, which will be sub-mitted to the county su-perintendent for approval, before being returned to the board for adoption.

The board also approved the retirement of four fac-ulty members effective July 1. Superintendent Linda Anderson-Towns explained that after replacements

are hired, the district an-ticipates a salary savings of $133,000.

Sharon Popper, one of the four retiring teachers at the close of the school year, urged board members to use the money saved to hire basic skills teachers. “Aides are a great help in the classroom, but there are limitations on what they can do. You need basic skills teachers, even if part-time without ben-efits, to help the students.” Reflecting on her tenure, Popper noted that several current members of the board were once students in her classroom.

The board thanked Pop-per and her retiring col-leagues for their “many years of dedication to the district.”


Proposed Budget(From Page A16)

Cape Tech Has Busy MonthBy TERENCE HARRIS

CREST HAVEN – Cape May County Technical School District held its March 18 board meeting to address a variety of issues ranging from revenue and expenses to curriculum and administrative reports.

Principal Michael C. Adams confirmed several significant school events had recently occurred, including inductions into the National Honor Society, a prom fashion show and a student presentation from Skills USA.

Adams revealed “an induction into the James S. Kilpatrick National Honor Society took place March 7. Thir ty-nine students met the minimum requirements and 33 students were chosen by the Faculty Council for induction. The night began with a reception produced by Culinary Arts and the induction ceremony included an address by Gina Tack, 2013-2014 Teacher of the Year.”

An additional school event inc luded “The Prom Fashion Show.” Adams explained that the “Prom Fashion Show was conducted by the National Honor Society and the Key Club as a fundraiser for chapter activities. The show was also the culmination of an interdisciplinary activity involving several technical and academic programs. Members modeled prom gowns and tuxedos from local retailers before a large audience of parents, students and other guests in our new Multi-Activity Center.

Members choreographed the program with music and narrations. Barbara Yarger is the advisor of the National Honor Society and Sharon Lee Kustra is the Key Club advisor. Special recognition goes to Katy DeNavas who assisted the advisors and assumed a leadership role.”

Another unique student event occurred involving students from Skills USA. Adams stated, “Students

from Skills USA Law and Public Safety earned a gold medal for their presentation ‘GIS in Law Enforcement.’

“First year law and public safety students Farah Almadani, Joslyn Nelson and Chris Russ prepared and presented a seminar on the Practical Application of Global information Technologies Systems. The law and public safety program is under the direction of Matt Pleasants. Julie Stratton provided additional assistance to the project,” concluded Adams.

In her report, Director of Curriculum and Instruction Nancy Wheeler Driscoll disclosed that a professional development plan had been implemented. “The d is t r ic t ’s sa fe school program has been initiated for all staff.

The faculty participated in an overview and has begun online professional development sessions in mandated and optional training. The district’s Teachscape License has

continued to provide staff access to professional development training in the domains of the evaluation system. That license for professional development concludes at the end of this school year, and the fees were purchased with Race to the Top grant funds. The system will provide an electronic record of the additional professional development offered to support our staff in this transition,” she said.

In addition, Driscoll exp la ined the Green Program o f S tudy in her report. “The Green Program of Study year four, the final year of the grant is underway. The Department of Education offices have selected our school for a site visit and mentoring as a model of implementation of the curriculum. A number of schools will be able to visit and observe classes and discuss curriculum implementation in the upcoming months, with the first tentatively planned for April.”

Super intendent Dr. Nancy Hudanich presented a report that included revenues and expenses as well as legislation and policy issues. Hudnaich e x p l a i n e d , “ T h e Department of Education r e s t r u c t u r ed Re g i on 7 (Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester and Salem Counties). Robert Bumpus is now the executive regional s u p e r i n t e n d e n t . H e was executive director of regional achievement center. Dr. (Richard) Stepura is now the regional administrative officer for Region 7.”

In add i t ion to the administrative reports, the Board of Education approved minutes o f the previous meeting, personnel hiring, and v a r i o u s c u r r i c u l u m recommendations.

Cite Resident for Pumping WasteBy HELEN McCAFFREY

DENNISVILLE – Prior to the commencement of Dennis Township Commit-tee’s meeting March 18, the board of health’s meet-ing reported a “suspected hazardous substance dis-charge notification.” The site of the discharge was named as coming from Pine Street. The violation occurred Jan. 13 when a resident was accused of “pumping out human waste.” Committee decid-ed to monitor the situation, notify the offending party and inform the county Health Department.

Hundreds of dogsDr. Nick Holland of

Shore Animal Control Ser-vices addressed committee and introduced members of his team including Linda Gentile and Leah Barber. Barber gave a report on the ongoing animal census. She reported that presently 625 dog licenses have been issued as well as 160 noti-fications sent to residents. The house-to-house census taking continues.

New generator in 2015

Committeeman Albert DiCicco reported that the Hagen Road complex of the Dennis Township school district will be getting a new generator. Delivery of that unit is anticipated in about a year. With the generator in place, the school will be designated as a county shelter dur-ing emergencies. DiCicco reported that he hopes the Academy Road complex will follow suit once gas lines have been extended to that area.

Committee also voted to redirect certain capital funds from capital improve-ments to “computers and air conditioning.”

Talking school safetyAug. 14 will be the date

of a meeting of representa-tives of the State Police, committee, and the vol-unteer fire departments of Ocean View and Den-nisville to discuss school safety.

Mayor: Let MUA Do Electronics Recycling

By DON TOZER

WOODBINE – Borough council read a letter from Cape May County MUA Executive Director Charles Norkis at its March 20 meeting. The letter, sent to mayors of all 16 mu-nicipalities in the county, is a formal offer to continue electronics recycling past the original June 30 dead-line. The MUA plan will assess charges associated with the electronics recy-cling against the recycling rebate each municipality receives annually. In doing so, municipalities will not have to find a way to pay for the recycling in their already lean budgets.

Mayors are required to notify the MUA in writing if they wish to participate. Any municipality that does not participate will have to store and properly dispose of the discarded electronics on its own.

“We don’t want to be in the recycling business,” said Mayor William Pikoly-cky. “I think this will go across the board, all 16

municipalities. This will not solve the problem if recycling revenues drop, but we’ll cross that bridge when we get there.”

Learning Trail opensCouncil also reminded

residents of the grand opening of the Born Learn-ing Trail in Lincoln Park. The interactive learning and nature trail meanders through the 22-acre park, in the heart of the borough. A dedication and ribbon cutting ceremony will be held April 1, at 11 a.m. The ceremony coincides with the Mayor’s Day of Recognition for National Service.

Gas pipeline discus-sion

Pikolycky took a few minutes to discuss recent efforts by several local of-ficials, such as Sen. Jeff Van Drew (D-1st) and As-semblyman Sam Fiocchi (R-1st), to garner support for the proposed natural gas pipeline to the B.L. England generating station. “I hope

they give it a serious look,” said Pikolycky. “There may be some real economic benefits for fixed-income residents.”

While pollution con-cerns have generally been an argument in opposition to the pipeline, Pikoly-cky, chair of the Pinelands Municipal Council, said there are environmental benefits of its construction. “Converting more homes to natural gas abates older oil tanks and burners. A residential 275 gallon oil tank leak remediation can cost thousands itself.”

Grants to be renewed?Council also discussed

two grant renewal applica-tions. The safe routes to school and transportation alternatives grant applica-tions must be filed with New Jersey Department of Transportation by May 15.

COURT HOUSE - Linda Gentille & The Jersey Shore Pops are pleased to announce that jazz trumpet sensation Clif-ford Buggs of Cape May, will once again guest start with the popular orchestra this summer during the Summer Concert Series at the Middle Township PAC and The Ocean City Music Pier. Buggs will also contribute to the music library of the Jersey Shore Pops as assistant arranger along with conductor and music director for the popular orchestra Linda Gentille.

One of the featured musicians in the orchestra for the tribute to Glenn Miller is trumpet player Clifford Buggs of Cape May. Buggs was born in Georgia, raised in Florida and came back to New Jersey 8 years after boot camp to take advantage of an opportunity to lead the Military Band in Cape May. In the 18 years that followed his return, as much as his duties allowed, Clifford sought out many musical paths. Clifford is a writer and arranger and will soon head for the studio to begin his first personal CD project.

Buggs has performed as a soloist and side man behind Aretha Franklyn and with the great lead singer Peter Cetera of (Chicago) in Atlantic City. Clifford Buggs’ own Quintet performed at the Somer’s Point Jazz Festival. He played the Somer’s point jazz festival with Carl Granieri, the Cape May Jazz Festival with Howard Issacson the Late Great Oscar Brown, Jr. and also the Late Great Tim Eyermann. Clifford has performed at private parties and concerts with many fantastic local band leaders in NJ, DE, DC and PA. including Carl Grainer, Robin Vanduzee, John Bryant and Howard Issacson.

Conductor Gentille comments, “Clifford is always a highlight of any show he performs in. His technique and musicianship are without compare and he never fails to bring audiences to their feet. We are so excited to have him once again guest star in our upcoming concert season.”

The orchestra will open the Memorial Day weekend at the Jersey Shore May 24 at The Ocean City Music Pier. Although the conductor of the orchestra Linda Gentille has performed solo many times at the venue, this will be the first performance for the entire orchestra at the famed concert hall. This Ocean City Music Pier concert will also in-clude a performance and new collaboration with the Youth Opera of South Jersey. The young opera performance group performed last year with the orchestra to great success at the Middle Township Performing Arts Center. Gentille has invited the group to return to perform with the orchestra for two concerts this year, America May 24 at the OC Music Pier, and also at the Broadway on Tap show on Aug. 9 at the Middle PAC.

STONE HARBOR – On April 19, The Wetlands Institute will be hosting its 4th Annual Turtle Fest from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. This fun-packed day will kick-off with a pancake breakfast with scheduled seatings at 9:00 a.m., 10:00 a.m., 10:45 a.m., and 11:30 a.m. (reservations recommended).

Children can enjoy a different twist on the traditional egg hunt with a terrapin-themed egg hunt. They can also create arts and crafts, help a naturalist search for turtle hatchlings along the Salt Marsh Trail, and stop by the aquarium to watch the animals have breakfast too!

Two children’s authors will be here: Nancy Viau will present her book, Look What I Can Do!, celebrating baby animals overcoming challenges. Donna Zappala is returning with two books about Diamondback Terrapins: What Kind of Turtle Am I? and Izzy’s Crossing.

Reservations are recommended for breakfast seatings and can be submitted using the form at wetlandsinstitute.org/events/turtle-fest or by calling 609-368-1211. Gluten-free pancakes are available upon request.

The Wetlands Institute has hosted this event for the past 4 years in an effort to increase awareness for the human-related struggles the diamondback terrapin faces

and to promote conservation of the species. To find out more about The Wetlands Institute’s terrapin conservation programs and how you can help please visit wetlandsin-stitute.org.

Drink of the Week

This week's winning cocktail is a salute to the recent start of the spring season and the upcoming Easter holi-day! Brought to you by Owen's Pub of North Wildwood, the Easter Basketini is a party in a glass.

Pretty in pink, it is made with one 1/2 ounce of cherry flavored vodka, one 1/2 ounce of triple sec, 3 ounces of half & half, and a dash of grenadine (for its festive color!). These key ingredients are shaken and then

poured over a martini glass rimmed with green coconut flakes. Finally, the martini glass is garnished with a marshmallow Peep for a dose of this classic Easter basket sta-ple. Grab a Basketini of your own at Owen's

"Happiest" Happy Hour daily from 11:30 am to 8 pm and on Friday until 9 pm. Rather go for a brew? Enjoy $1.50 domestic bottles and $3 import drafts/bottles.

by second grade honor-rollers Joseph Young and Jerry White.

that June 23 and June 24 will be full school days for students. Although June 25 will be the last school day for students, it is scheduled as an early dismissal day.

The New Jersey School Boards Association real-ized that since so many school districts had to can-cel school days this winter due to snow and inclement weather, all snow days must be made up in accor-dance with the law.

A school district in New Jersey must be open for students 180 days accord-ing to N.J.S.A. 18A:7F-9 in order to receive state aid. Under state law, the 180-day requirement must be completed by June 30 of the school year.

The board approved and accepted several grants, contracts, and agreements. It renewed a transportation contract with Sheppard Bus Service and Great Ameri-can Trolley as well as an

affiliate agreement for a Clinical Education Experi-ence with Misericordia University.

The board also applied for a Department of Human Services Adolescent Preg-nancy Prevention Grant. In addition, the board resolved to approve and accept the amended school calendar to account for the school clos-ings due to winter weather. The board approved the Avalon Rescue Squad pro-gram to provide CPR/AED training as well.

In addition, the board accepted the superinten-dent’s recommendation for various educational posi-tions through June 30, as well as a resolution to keep revised Criminal History and Background Check pro-cedures. It accepted the re-tirement of a staff member and acknowledged several published articles in the newspaper concerning the school district. The board will hold its next meeting April 22 at 4 p.m.

No. 863-93]RECREATIONAL VEHICLEA vehicle which is [i] built on a single chassis; [ii] 400 square feet or less when measured at the longest horizontal projections; [iii] designed to be self-propelled or permanently towable by a light duty truck; and [iv] designed primarily not for use as a permanent dwelling but as temporary living quarters for recreational, camping, travel, or seasonal use.SAND DUNESNaturally occurring or man-made accumulations of sand in ridges or mounds landward of the beach.START OF CONSTRUCTIONFor other than new construction or substantial damages and improvements under the Coastal Barrier Resources Act (P.L. No. 97-348) includes substantial improvements and means the date the building permit was issued, provided the actual start of construction, repair, reconstruction, rehabilitation, addition, placement, or other improvement was within 180 days of the permit date. The actual start means either the first placement of permanent construction of

a structure on a site such as the pouring of a slab or footings, the installation of piles, the construction of columns, or any work beyond the stage of excavation, or the placement of a manufactured home on a foundation.

Permanent construction does not include land preparation, such as clearing, grading and filling nor does it include the installation of streets and/or walkways, nor does it include excavation for a basement, footings or piers, or foundations or the erection of temporary forms, nor does it include the installation on the property of accessory buildings, such as garages or sheds not occupied as dwelling units or not part of the main structure. For a substantial improvement, the actual “start of construction” means the first alteration of any wall, ceiling, floor or other structural part of a building, whether or not that alteration affects the external dimensions of the building.[Amended 4-1-1987 by Ord. No. 569-87; 7-15-1993 by Ord. No. 863-93]STRUCTUREA walled and roofed building, a manufactured home, including a gas or liquid storage tank that is principally above ground, as well as a manufactured home.[Amended 7-15-1993 by Ord. No. 863-93]SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGEDamage of any origin sustained by a structure whereby the cost of restoring the structure to its before-damaged condition would equal or exceed 50% of the market value of the structure before the damage occurred.[Added 7-15-1993 by Ord. No. 863-93]SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT Any repair, reconstruction rehabilitation, addition, or improvement of a structure, the cost of which equals or exceeds 50% of the market value of the structure either before the “start of construction” of the improvement. This term includes structures which have incurred “substantial damage”, regardless of the actual repair work performed. The term does not, however, include eitherA. Any project for improvement of a structure to comply with existing state or local health, sanitary or safety code specifications which are solely necessary to assure safe living conditions; or B. Any alteration of a “historic structure” provided that the alteration will not preclude the structure’s continued designation as a “historic structure”.. VARIANCEA grant of relief from the requirements of this chapter which permits construction in a manner that would otherwise be prohibited by this chapter.VIOLATIONThe failure of a structure or other development to be fully compliant with this ordinance. A new or substantially improved structure or other development without the elevation certificate, other certifications, or other evidence of compliance required in 44 CFR §60.3(b)(5), (c)(4), (c)(10), (e)(2), (e)(4), or (e)(5) is presumed to be in violation until such time as that documentation is provided.ARTICLE III General Provisions146-7 Applicability.This chapter shall apply to all areas of special flood hazard within the jurisdiction of the Township of Middle.146-8 Basis for establishing the areas of special flood hazard.The areas of special flood hazard for the Township of Middle Community No. 0506 are identified and defined on the following documents prepared by the Federal Emergency management Agency:a. Flood Hazard Boundary Map/Flood Insurance Rate map for the Township of Middle, Cape May County, New Jersey as shown on Index and panels 01 through 11 whose effective date is July 15, 1992.b.

Where the effective mapping or Base Flood Elevation conflict or overlap with the Best Available Flood Hazard Data, whichever imposes the more stringent requirement shall prevail.§ 146-9 Violations and penalties. [Amended 4-5-1990 by Ord. No. 720-90; 7-15-1993 by Ord. No. 863-93]No structure or land shall hereafter be constructed, located, extended, converted or altered without full compliance with the terms of this chapter and other applicable regulations. An offense against the provisions of this chapter by failure to comply with any of its requirements, including violations of conditions and safeguards established in connection with conditions, shall constitute a violation. Any person who violates this chapter or fails to comply with any of its requirements shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject to one or more of the following: a fine of not more than $1,000 or imprisonment for not more than 90 days or a period of community service not to exceed 90 days, for each violation, and, in addition, shall pay all costs and expenses involved in the case. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the Township of Middle from taking such other lawful action as is necessary to prevent or remedy any violation.

Any person who violates this chapter shall bear the full cost of correcting any and all violations. § 146-10 Abrogation and greater restrictions.This chapter is not intended to repeal, abrogate or impair any existing easements, covenants or deed restrictions. However, where this chapter and another ordinance, easement, covenant or deed restriction conflict or overlap, whichever imposes the more-stringent restrictions shall prevail. § 146-11 Interpretation.In the interpretation and application of this chapter, all provisions shall be: A. Considered as minimum requirements. B. Liberally construed in favor of the governing body. C. Deemed neither to limit nor repeal any other powers granted under state statutes. § 146-12 Warning and disclaimer of liability.The degree of flood protection required by this chapter is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on scientific and engineering considerations. Larger floods can and will occur on rare occasions. Flood heights may be increased by man-made or natural causes. This chapter does not imply that land outside the areas of special flood hazard or uses permitted within such areas will be free from flooding or flood damages. This chapter shall not create liability on the part of the Township of Middle, any officer or employee thereof or the Federal Insurance Administration for any flood damages that result from reliance on this chapter or any administrative decision lawfully made thereunder. Article IV: Administration§ 146-13 Development permit. [Amended 7-15-1993 by Ord. No. 863-93]A development permit shall be obtained before development begins within any area of special hazard established in § 146-8.

TOWNSHIP OF MIDDLE,COUNTY OF CAPE MAY,STATE OF NEW JERSEY


AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE CODE OF THE TOWNSHIP OF MIDDLE, CHAPTER 146, THEREOF ENTITLED FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTIONBE IT ORDAINED by the TOWNSHIP COMMITTEE, the governing body of the Township of Middle that Chapter 146 of the Revised General Ordinances of the Township of Middle be and is hereby amended as follows: SECTION 1: FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTIONCHAPTER 146Article I: Authorization; Findings; Objectives§ 146-1 Statutory authorization.This chapter is enacted pursuant to the provisions of N.J.S.A. 40:48-1 et seq. and N.J.S.A. 40:55D-1 et seq. § 146-2 Findings of fact.A. The flood hazard areas of the Township

of Middle are subject to periodic inundation which results in loss of life and property, health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental services, extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief and impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety and general welfare. B. These flood losses are caused by the cumulative effect of obstructions in areas of special flood hazards which increase flood heights and velocities and, when inadequately anchored, damage uses in other areas. Uses that are inadequately floodproofed, elevated or otherwise protected from flood damage also contribute to the flood loss. 146-3 Statement of purpose.It is the purpose of this chapter to promote the public health, safety and general welfare and to minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in specific areas by provisions designed to: A. Protect human life and health. B. Minimize expenditure of public money for costly flood-control projects. C. Minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding and generally undertaken at the expense of the general public. D. Minimize prolonged business interruptions. E. Minimize damage to public facilities and utilities such as water and gas mains, electric, telephone and sewer lines and streets and bridges located in areas of special flood hazard. F. Help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound use and development of areas of special flood hazard so as to minimize future flood blight areas. G. Ensure that potential buyers are notified that property is in an area of special flood hazard. H. Ensure that those who occupy the areas of special flood hazard assume responsibility for their actions. § 146-4 Methods of reducing flood losses.In order to accomplish its purposes, this chapter includes methods and provisions for: A. Restricting or prohibiting uses which are dangerous to health, safety and property due to water or erosion hazards or which result in damaging increases in erosion or in flood heights or velocities. B. Requiring that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities which serve such uses, are protected against flood damage at the time of initial construction. C. Controlling the alteration of natural floodplains, stream channels and natural protective barriers, which help accommodate or channel floodwaters. D. Controlling filling, grading, dredging and other development which may increase flood damage. E. Preventing or regulating the construction of flood barriers which will unnaturally divert floodwaters or which may increase flood hazards in other areas. Article II: Definitions and Word Usage146-5 Word Usage.Unless specifically defined below, words or phrases used in this chapter shall be interpreted so as to fibe them the meanings they have in common usage and to give this chapter its most reasonable application.146-6 Definitions. As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated: ADVISORY BASE FLOOD ELEVATION (ABFE)The elevation shown on a community’s Advisory Flood Hazard Map that indicates the advisory Stillwater elevation plus wave effect (ABFE = SWEL + wave effect) resulting from a flood that has a 1% or greater chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year.ADVISORY FLOOD HAZARD AREA (AFHA)The land in the floodplain within a community subject to flooding from the 1% annual chance event depicted on the Advisory Flood Hazard Map.ADVISORY FLOOD HAZARD MAP The official map on which the Federal Emergency Management Administration has delineated the areas of advisory flood hazards applicable to the community.APPEALA request for a review of the enforcement official’s interpretation of any provision of this chapter or a request for a variance.AREA OF SHALLOW FLOODINGA designated AO or VO Zone on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). The base flood depths range from with a one percent annual or greater chance of flooding to an average depth of one to three feet; a clearly defined channel does not exist; the path of flooding is unpredictable and indeterminate; and velocity flow may be evident. Such flooding is characterized by ponding or sheet flow.AREA OF SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARDThe land in the floodplain within a community subject to a one-percent-or-greater chance of flooding in any given year. It is shown on the FIRM as Zone V, VE, V1-30, A, AO, A1 A30, AE, A99, or AH.

The Planning Board shall hear and decide appeals when it is alleged there is an error in any requirement, decision or determination made by the enforcement official in the enforcement or administration of this chapter. C. Those aggrieved by the decision of the Planning Board, or any taxpayer, may appeal such decision to the Superior Court of New Jersey. D. In passing upon such applications, the Planning Board shall consider all technical evaluations, all relevant factors, standards specified in other sections of this chapter and: (1) The danger that materials may be swept onto other lands to the injury of others.

(2) The danger of life and property due to flooding or erosion damage. (3) The susceptibility of the proposed facility and its contents to flood damage and the effect of such damage on the individual owner. (4) The importance of the services provided by the proposed facility to the community. (5) The necessity to the facility of a waterfront location, where applicable. (6) The availability of alternative locations for the proposed use which are not subject to flooding or erosion damage. (7) The compatibility of the proposed use with existing and anticipated development. (8) The relationship of the proposed use to the Comprehensive Plan and floodplain management program of that area. (9) The safety of access to the property in times of flood for ordinary and emergency vehicles. (10) The expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise and sediment transport of the floodwaters and the effects of wave action, if applicable, expected at the site. (11) The costs of providing governmental services during and after flood conditions, including maintenance and repair of public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical and water systems and streets and bridges. E. Upon consideration of the factors of § 146-16D and the purposes of this chapter, the Planning Board may attach such conditions to the granting of variances as it deems necessary to further the purposes of this chapter. F. The enforcement official shall maintain the records of all appeal actions, including technical information, and report any variances to the Federal Insurance Administration upon request. § 146-17 Conditions for issuance of variances.A. As the lot size increases beyond the 1/2 acre, the technical justification required for issuing the variance increases. B. Variances may be issued for the reconstruction, rehabilitation or restoration of historic structures upon a determination that the proposed repair or rehabilitation will not preclude the structure’s continued designation as a historic structure and the variance is the minimum necessary to preserve the historic character and design of the structure. C. Variances shall not be issued within any designated floodway if any increase in flood levels during the base flood discharge would result. D. Variances shall only be issued upon a determination that the variance is the minimum necessary, considering the flood hazard, to afford relief. E. Variances shall only be issued upon: (1) A showing of good and sufficient cause. (2) A determination that failure to grant the variance would result in exceptional hardship to the applicant. (3) A determination that the granting of a variance will not result in increased flood heights, additional threats to public safety or extraordinary public expense, create nuisances, cause fraud on or victimization of the public as identified in § 146-16D or conflict with existing local laws or ordinances. F. Any applicant to whom a variance is granted shall be given written notice that the structure will be permitted to be built with a lowest floor elevation below the base flood elevation and that the cost of flood insurance will be commensurate with the increased risk resulting from the reduced lowest floor elevation. Article V: Provisions for Flood hazard Reduction§ 146-18 General standards. In all areas of special flood hazards compliance with the applicable requirements of the Uniform Construction Code (NJAC.5.23) and the following standards, whichever is more restrictive is required: A.

CertificationA registered professional engineer or architect shall develop or review the structural design specifications and plans for the construction and shall certify that the design and methods of construction to be used are in accordance with accepted standards of practice for compliance with the provisions of SECTIOM 5.4-2(1) and 5.4-2(2) (i) and (ii).4. Space Below the Lowest Floor1. Any alteration, repair, reconstruction or improvement to a structure started after the enactment of this ordinance shall not enclose the space below the lowest floor unless breakaway walls, open wood lattice work or insect screening are used as provided for in this section.2. Breakaway walls, open wood lattice-work or insect screening shall be allowed below the base flood elevation provided that they are intended to collapse under wind and water loads without causing collapse, displacement or other structural damage to the elevated portion of the building or supporting foundation system. Breakaway walls shall be designed for a safe loading resistance of not less than 10 and no more than 20 pounds per square foot. Use of breakaway walls which exceed a design safe loading of 20 pounds per square foot (either by design or when so required by local or State codes) may be permitted only if a registered professional engineer or architect certifies that the designs proposed meet the following conditions.a. Breakaway wall collapse shall result from a water load less than that which would occur during the base flood andb. The elevated portion of the building and supporting foundation system shall not be subject to collapse, displacement or other structural damage due to the effects of wind and water load acting simultaneously on all building components (structural and non structural). Water loading values used shall be those associated with the base flood. Wind loading values used shall be those required by applicable state or local building standards.3. If Breakaway walls are utilized, such enclosed space shall be used solely for parking of vehicles, building access, or storage and not for human habitation.4.

(From Page A38)a structure on a site such as the pouring of a slab or footings, the installation of piles, the construction of columns, or any work beyond the stage of excavation, or the placement of a manufactured home on a foundation.

Permanent construction does not include land preparation, such as clearing, grading and filling nor does it include the installation of streets and/or walkways, nor does it include excavation for a basement, footings or piers, or foundations or the erection of temporary forms, nor does it include the installation on the property of accessory buildings, such as garages or sheds not occupied as dwelling units or not part of the main structure. For a substantial improvement, the actual “start of construction” means the first alteration of any wall, ceiling, floor or other structural part of a building, whether or not that alteration affects the external dimensions of the building.[Amended 4-1-1987 by Ord. No. 569-87; 7-15-1993 by Ord. No. 863-93]STRUCTUREA walled and roofed building, a manufactured home, including a gas or liquid storage tank that is principally above ground, as well as a manufactured home.[Amended 7-15-1993 by Ord. No. 863-93]SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGEDamage of any origin sustained by a structure whereby the cost of restoring the structure to its before-damaged condition would equal or exceed 50% of the market value of the structure before the damage occurred.[Added 7-15-1993 by Ord. No. 863-93]SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT Any repair, reconstruction rehabilitation, addition, or improvement of a structure, the cost of which equals or exceeds 50% of the market value of the structure either before the “start of construction” of the improvement. This term includes structures which have incurred “substantial damage”, regardless of the actual repair work performed. The term does not, however, include eitherA. Any project for improvement of a structure to comply with existing state or local health, sanitary or safety code specifications which are solely necessary to assure safe living conditions; or B. Any alteration of a “historic structure” provided that the alteration will not preclude the structure’s continued designation as a “historic structure”.. VARIANCEA grant of relief from the requirements of this chapter which permits construction in a manner that would otherwise be prohibited by this chapter.VIOLATIONThe failure of a structure or other development to be fully compliant with this ordinance. A new or substantially improved structure or other development without the elevation certificate, other certifications, or other evidence of compliance required in 44 CFR §60.3(b)(5), (c)(4), (c)(10), (e)(2), (e)(4), or (e)(5) is presumed to be in violation until such time as that documentation is provided.ARTICLE III General Provisions146-7 Applicability.This chapter shall apply to all areas of special flood hazard within the jurisdiction of the Township of Middle.146-8 Basis for establishing the areas of special flood hazard.The areas of special flood hazard for the Township of Middle Community No. 0506 are identified and defined on the following documents prepared by the Federal Emergency management Agency:a. Flood Hazard Boundary Map/Flood Insurance Rate map for the Township of Middle, Cape May County, New Jersey as shown on Index and panels 01 through 11 whose effective date is July 15, 1992.b. Best Available Flood Hazard Data. These documents shall take precedence over effective panels in construction and development regulations only. Where the effective mapping or Base Flood Elevation conflict or overlap with the Best Available Flood Hazard Data, whichever imposes the more stringent requirement shall prevail.§ 146-9 Violations and penalties. [Amended 4-5-1990 by Ord. No. 720-90; 7-15-1993 by Ord. No. 863-93]No structure or land shall hereafter be constructed, located, extended, converted or altered without full compliance with the terms of this chapter and other applicable regulations. An offense against the provisions of this chapter by failure to comply with any of its requirements, including violations of conditions and safeguards established in connection with conditions, shall constitute a violation. Any person who violates this chapter or fails to comply with any of its requirements shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject to one or more of the following: a fine of not more than $1,000 or imprisonment for not more than 90 days or a period of community service not to exceed 90 days, for each violation, and, in addition, shall pay all costs and expenses involved in the case. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the Township of Middle from taking such other lawful action as is necessary to prevent or remedy any violation. Each calendar day of violation shall constitute a separate and individual violation. Any person who violates this chapter shall bear the full cost of correcting any and all violations. § 146-10 Abrogation and greater restrictions.This chapter is not intended to repeal, abrogate or impair any existing easements, covenants or deed restrictions. However, where this chapter and another ordinance, easement, covenant or deed restriction conflict or overlap, whichever imposes the more-stringent restrictions shall prevail. § 146-11 Interpretation.In the interpretation and application of this chapter, all provisions shall be: A. Considered as minimum requirements. B. Liberally construed in favor of the governing body. C. Deemed neither to limit nor repeal any other powers granted under state statutes. § 146-12 Warning and disclaimer of liability.The degree of flood protection required by this chapter is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on scientific and engineering considerations. Larger floods can and will occur on rare occasions. Flood heights may be increased by man-made or natural causes. This chapter does not imply that land outside the areas of special flood hazard or uses permitted within such areas will be free from flooding or flood damages. This chapter shall not create liability on the part of the Township of Middle, any officer or employee thereof or the Federal Insurance Administration for any flood damages that result from reliance on this chapter or any administrative decision lawfully made thereunder. Article IV: Administration§ 146-13 Development permit. [Amended 7-15-1993 by Ord. No. 863-93]A development permit shall be obtained before development begins within any area of special hazard established in § 146-8. Application for a development permit shall be made on forms furnished by the Construction Official and may include but not be limited to plans, in duplicate, drawn to scale, showing the nature, location, dimensions and elevations of the area in question,

YOU ARE HEREBY SUMMONED and required to serve upon the Attorneys for Plaintiff, Powers Kirn, LLC, 728 Marne Highway, Moorestown, NJ 08057, an Answer to the Complaint filed in a Civil Action in which Nationstar Mortgage LLC dba Champion Mortgage Company is Plaintiff and William Irving , et al., are Defendants, pending in the Superior Court of New Jersey, within thirty-five (35) days after March 26, 2014, exclusive of such date. If you fail to do so, judgment by default may be rendered against you for the relief demanded in the Complaint. You shall file your Answer and Proof of Service in duplicate with the Clerk of the Superior Court at the Richard J. Hughes Justice Complex, CN 971, 6th Floor, North Wing, Trenton, New Jersey, 08625, in accordance with the rules governing the courts. A $135.00 filing fee payable to the Clerk of the Superior Court and a completed Case Information Statement must accompany your answer or motion.

YOU, William Irving, his heirs, devisees, and personal representatives and his/her, their, or any of their successors in right, title and interest are made a defendant because you are the maker of the bond/note and mortgage

Avalon Elementary Targets BullyingBy JAMES McCARTY

AVALON – “From this day forward, I promise to re-spect those around me as well as respect myself.” “I am somebody and I can make a difference.”

These are the opening words to the “Stand for the Silent” pledge that Avalon Elementary School students listened to during a presentation on March 11. The is-sue of bullying among children that sometimes leads to suicide was the focus of the program organized by school guidance counselor Alanna Smallwood.

Smallwood, a parent of two small children, related that she first became involved with the program when she viewed a documentary film called “Bully” at the school library. This film introduced her to the story of 11-year-old Ty Smalley from Oklahoma.

The Stand for the Silent website states that the organi-zation “was started in 2010 by a group of students from the Oklahoma State University-Oklahoma City Upward Bound Chapter after they heard the story of Kirk and Laura Smalley’s son, Ty Field-Smalley. At 11 years-old, Ty took his own life after being suspended from school for retaliating against a bully that had been bullying him for over two years.”

Smallwood further explained that her students viewed the documentary and were so moved by the story that they asked if they could invite Kirk Smalley to the school to deliver his presentation. Her superintendent readily

agreed and Smalley traveled here to present the program to a mix of students and parents at the school gym. The impact was palpable, “you could hear a pin drop” said Smallwood.

Smallwood described the presentation as “a simple easel and five empty chairs with photos on each.” “Each chair represented one child who had been bullied into suicide” she said.

The program had a huge impact on students and par-ents. Smallwood indicated that the pledge card Smalley distributed was to be read every day by the student; a signature and date line at the bottom reinforces the commitment these students make to the principles of the organization to fight bullying. Smallwood indicated that they plan to establish a local chapter of this organization for their school community

Stand for the Silent urges schools and communities to have bake sales, car washes or any community event to help raise money and awareness.

According to its website, “We do not charge for a presentation. Any funds donated to Stand for the Silent pay for travel to a school or presentation site and the ma-terials needed to support our program.” Ms. Smallwood confirmed that there was no cost what-so-ever to the school and she hopes that similar programs continue to spread the message of anti-bullying throughout the region.

Freeholder Actions

Name MUA, Transit Advisors By AL CAMPBELL

CREST HAVEN – Commissioners William McMahon, Patricia Callinan and Carol Saduk were reappointed to the Cape May County Municipal Utility Authority by free-holders March 11. Their terms will expire Feb. 1, 2019.

Callinan, in a Jan. 15 letter to the board seeking reappointment wrote, “I take this job seriously and my attendance at the meetings reflect the same. I am very principled and dedicated to my position as a commis-sioner, and have a strong commitment to personal values.

“The purity of the water in Cape May County and our new single-stream recycling are of the utmost importance to me, and I wish to continue to make Cape May County a better environment for all out citizens.”

In other action the board:Passed a resolution supporting legislation to perma-

nently extend the 2-percent cap on interest arbitration awards. The law, due to expire April 1, is used for negotiating police and fire contract disputes. It limits annual basis increases of base salary items to no more than 2 percent. One of its supporting statements noted it is “essential that local government continue to be relieved of the burden of funding excessive bargaining agreement awards which drive local, state and county budgets and taxes, generating an unacceptable fiscal burden on taxpayers.”

Appointed and reappointed members of the Local Citizens Transportation Advisory Committee for one, two and three-year terms. They advise on matters dealing with the county’s Fare Free Transportation.

Three year: John Birkmeyer, Sea Isle City, Vernon Kline, Villas, Maurice Hight, Florence Sambenedetto.

Sentenced for Amputee’s Beating, Wheelchair Theft

By BRYON CAHILL

DELMONT – Clark Williams was beaten and robbed March 21, 2013. Williams, a double-am-putee was sitting in his wheelchair at a bus stop in Rio Grande when the incident occurred.

“They got into a fight,” Middle Township Police Capt. John Edwards stated in a previous report. “He (Joseph L. Devine) beat him up and after he beat him up he took some stuff from him. (Devine) had been drinking and was intoxicated when he was arrested.”

One of the items Devine took from Williams was his wheelchair. “A lady across the street saw him beating me and called the cops,” Williams said. “He threw

me into the seat at the bus stop and cracked my head open. He put a seven-inch gash in my head and I had to have 25 staples. I was in the hospital and I’ve been in a nursing home for a year now. ”

“This guy (Devine) was in our jail but he got shipped to state prison Feb. 27,” said Cape May County Sherriff Gary Schaeffer. Devine was convicted to a maximum term of three years for one count of ag-gravated assault, one count of theft/unlawful taking.

“I just want other handi-capped people to know that this sort of thing can hap-pen,” Williams said. “You gotta be careful out there.”

Upper Residents Comment on Amanda’s Field Project

By BRUCE WALSH

PETERSBURG – Upper Township Committee moved quickly through its March 24 agenda and a pair of resolutions looked for ways to improve the township while keeping costs down. There was authorization to submit an application for a recreation development grant with the county’s Open Space Program.

Committee also moved to submit an application to join the Federal Surplus Property Program which would enable the township to accept free equipment and machinery from the federal government.

Amanda’s Field There were quite a few residents in

attendance who made comments about the bond addressed during the last committee meeting that would fund completion of the improvement projects at Amanda’s Field.

Representatives from the Baseball Association gave a breakdown of the township’s baseball teams and the amount of field use needed and they also stressed their desire to see Amanda’s Field finally become a full sports complex.

The issue of installing lights and consolidating fields came up again and

while some members of committee had questions about the plan’s total cost, funding, and potential savings everyone seemed in agreement that the Amanda’s Field development project should be finally completed.

Mayor Richard Palombo remarked that voting on some of the bond issues would take place at the next committee meeting.

Other NewsThere was also a request from the code

enforcement office to increase permit fees. Committee decided to look into other possibilities before imposing new fees on residents.

There was also mention that the Army Corps of Engineers’ beach replenishment project for the areas of Sea Isle City, Strathmere, and southern Ocean City is on schedule to start in the fall of this year.

Committeeman Antonio Inserra noted that the township’s switch to automated trash and recycling collection was progressing well and additional cans were on order and would soon be distributed.

Committee congratulated Upper Township Girls Varsity Traveling Basketball Team on becoming the 2014 Optimist Basketball Tournament Champions.

Firefighters Respond to Smoke-filled Villas Home

VILLAS – Lower Town-ship firefighters responded to a smoke-filled residence in the 100 block Oregon Avenue at 4:11 p.m. March 18.

Assistant Chief Bryan arrived confirming a one-story, wood-frame, single-family dwelling with smoke showing. Green Creek Fire Company was requested for a rapid intervention crew (RIC). First units stretched lines in service to find an active fire in the kitchen area.

Engine 656 crew was able to contain the fire to the room of origin with smoke damage throughout the residence. The dwell-ing was unoccupied at the time.

Two dogs and three cats were discovered deceased, but with additional efforts

made from Erma Fire Company’s Captain Bill Sczemsack and Firefighter Jeff Lagg, one dog was resuscitated by mouth to snout rescue breathing and pressurized oxygen. The dog was transported by animal control to a local animal hospital.

The Cape May County

Fire Marshal responded to the scene. The fire’s origin remains under investiga-tion.

Family and friends cre-ated a donation fund for the family who owns this dwelling. To donate, go to: http://www.gofundme.com/7o3wgc

Firefighters Battle W. Wildwood Blaze

WEST WILDWOOD - Firefighters responded to a dwelling fire at 636 W Poplar Avenue in the Borough of West Wildwood March 23 at 7:32 p.m. On arrival, firefighters found smoke coming from a two and a half story residential property.

Firefighters entered the dwelling and began extinguish-ing fire found on the second and third floors. The building was searched and found to be unoccupied at the time of the incident. Firefighters operated on scene for well over three hours, chasing pockets of fire in concealed areas in walls and ceilings.

There were no injuries reported. Units operating on scene were West Wildwood, Wildwood and North Wildwood Engine 2. Rio Grande Fire and EMS were on scene as well. The fire remains under investigation by the CMC Fire Marshal’s Office and the Wildwood Fire Department.

Sorry, Internet Could Banish Snow DaysThat old bulldog barked again. Sir Winston Churchill, a clever

wordsmith indeed, left us with a memorable quote apropos for today: “Never let a good crisis go to waste.” One can imagine the old gent chomping on his cigar and spitting out that nugget of wisdom as the world was falling apart faster every day.

Unless you’ve spent the winter in Key Largo, Fla. or on Hawaii’s Garden Isle, it’s no surprise we have collectively worn out snow shovels, tossed out tons of salt and scraped more ice than normal. School children have been elated time after time as schools have been closed due to snow. It’s like merrymaking all night. It’s fun while it lasts, but then you get the tab, it’s time to pay the piper.

That means school days have to be made up. I’ve heard rumors of some schools considering trimming Easter (they call it spring) vacation down to the bare minimum to cover a few of those unscheduled snow days. Others, I’m told, are eying Saturday classes. All that shuffling to make it under the wire because public schools absolutely must close by June 30.

Also, in the event you’ve been snoozing for the past decade or two, there is a thing ratting around today known as the Internet. It’s a great invention even if Al Gore didn’t invent it.

I’ll let readers in on a little inside secret. When snow blanketed Cape May County’s roads March 3 and 17 the Herald editorial staff never made it into the office. You’d never know we stayed safely at home would you? You got your Herald on March 5 and March 19 same time and same place as ever, right? How did that happen? Thank the Internet and some tekkie folks who, before the need arose, foresaw how, using computers and the net, we could do at home what we do here, only without all the smiling faces.

Voila! If we could produce two editions of your favorite weekly newspaper, and didn’t darken the front door, what makes schools any different?

I won’t make any broad statements as did our illustrious governor about extending school days or anything like that, but why can’t school conduct classes via the Internet on snow days? Virtually every family with school children has Internet and a computer connection. Those who do not could be forewarned, and books sent home with future classwork when weather threatens.

Otherwise, rip out a page from a homeschooler’s “how to” book, and let the learning continue as the snow falls and roads are deadly.

How would it happen? Those tech-smart folks have you covered there, too. Ever hear of Skype? How about “Go To Meeting?” Two slick ways that pupils could, if planning in advance worked as it did here, see their teacher who would also remain at home while conducting class.

Would it be perfect? No, but it would be a start and put a dent into those dark days when classes are closed.

I had an interesting conversation with a county agent regarding teleconferencing. I noticed a webcam in the conference room of the office. She also was saying how much time she had to spend on the road, almost weekly, traveling to a distant campus to attend meetings. Why don’t you sit here and use the webcam? I asked. Her reply, it was tried one time, statewide. There was a complaint that someone could not see the person who was talking. So that ended the notion of teleconferencing, and everyone from all 21 counties hit the road traveling to and from that headquarters location, all because “someone” didn’t want to use technology. That is just plain wrong and a waste of tax dollars.

Given the smart folks in this county who have forgotten more about technology than most of us will ever know, I believe “school at home,” at least on snowy days, is just waiting in the wings. There are rural parts of the nation where this is not a future thought, but reality. Children 30 or 50 miles distant from school buildings daily click into class, and join the rest of the activity from their home.

In the “connected” state of New Jersey, they should not be a distant dream or far-fetched goal. That Internet use would not have to be limited only to schools, but also to community colleges. It would not be too far a dream for them either, since both Atlantic Cape and Cumberland county community colleges offer on-line courses. Would a televised class at home be in the realm of the possible? Taken a step even farther, Thomas Edison State College offers online degrees; many Cape May County residents have gotten their sheepskins from that institution. That’s solid proof distance-learning is not only probable but possible.

Pressed on an inclement Sunday, tech-savvy churches could broadcast worship services to the faithful at home and connect with the Almighty.

At some point, we must seize the opportunities that surround us. It is time that facts be faced, time is money. School days are costly. To waste them is foolish when they could easily be redeemed using tools most families have at their fingertips. Especially with children of school age, busy hands are happy hands.

With today’s Internet and computers, there is no reason on earth (save for no electric) those tiny hands must be idle because Mother Nature decided snow was appropriate.

Who Shrunk the Middle Class?Are you one of those people who hasn’t had a raise in the last half

dozen years? Or maybe you have even had your wages and hours cut? Or do you own a small business here in Cape May County and find that you have fewer customers coming in the door, and when they do come, they have fewer dollars to spend?

If that describes your situation, join the crowd. The New York Times recently reported that the lower 80 percent earned 39 percent of personal consumption expenditures in 2012, down from 47 percent in 1992. In contrast, the top 20 percent received 38 percent, up from 27 percent for the same period. That is around a 20 percent drop versus a 50 percent increase.

We all know that major changes have taken place in our nation and we feel at a loss to know what to do. Depending upon our age, these

changes are impacting us differently, and the younger we are, the more adjustment we have to make in our lives in order to cope.

==========Young people, look around; the top 20 percent did

not increase their portion by 50 percent by relying upon government

==========The fact is, it is the entire world economy, which has undergone

a massive globalization transformation, has been brewing for several decades. While these changes have made the people of the world much more productive, they have particularly impacted America’s middle-class workers by generating vastly increased competition. As a result, American middle-class wages are not increasing because that is what competition does – it keeps prices down.

Why has the middle class lagged and our nation’s top earners advanced significantly? It is simply supply and demand. If I have something that a lot of people want, demand drives up the price.

Globalization has served the top earners very well because they understand how this new world order works. While the middle class, on the other hand, know how to do things that a lot of other people have now learned how to do and the growing supply keeps the value down.

Over the last couple of centuries the world has seen the advent of the Industrial Revolution, the Information age, and now we are transitioning into the era of the creative mind. In this, our new era, imaginative people have a worldwide market for what they create. Creativity is America’s long-standing specialty.

If America is to maintain a world-leadership role and maintain the enviable standard it enjoys, we must retain the qualities which have made us leaders up until now. Here is where our politics come into play.

The liberal left offers that a government-lead approach is needed to lead us out of the doldrums and into greater prosperity, and that the higher taxes for enhanced government programs will pay dividends. The conservative right, on the other hand, holds that the solution can only be found in the individual motivated by self-interest and low taxes that enable him to keep more of what he produces. They argue that people freed to pursue their own self interests is what made our nation, and that nations which are government-lead perform much less well.

Nothing short of extreme inventiveness will win the day for America. Even Mr. Obama was quick to offer that government is lacking in creativity, and it is because of this lack that the ObamaCare rollout failed.

With the challenges we now face, nothing short of America’s traditional rugged individualist will serve. And to you young people, look around; the top 20 percent did not increase their portion by 50 percent by relying upon government. Nothing short of your own individual best is going to reward you, and simultaneously restore America’s exceptionalism.

MeatoutTo the Editor:

After several months of crippling snowstorms and flooding, I really look forward to spring weather, green grass, and flowers in bloom. The advent of spring is also a great opportunity to turn over a new leaf on our dietary and exercise habits. In fact, I’ve been told that hundreds of communities celebrate the advent of spring with something called the Great American Meatout.

Local health advocates host educational events, where they ask visitors to get a fresh start this spring with a healthy diet of vegetables, fresh fruits, legumes and whole grains. For those who need a little encouragement, their website (www.meatout.org) provides useful information and a chance to pledge a healthy diet for one day or more.

OLIVER LOFTISOcean ViewDon’t be a Dittohead

To the Editor:

Recently, I’ve heard disparaging remarks about President Obama – actually, far-out hate remarks. These similar remarks come from family members, friends, acquaintances, co-workers and neighbors. It so happens that those mentioned are all of a political group and all listen to a certain cable network on a basis. I’m sure you don’t have to rack your brain to determine which group and which station. I must say these people are of narrow information; I refer to them as “Ditto heads.” The strange problem is that all of these claim to be Christians. Are Christians supposed to hate? I don’t think so.

Let’s consider some facts. In 2009, when this man began his presidency, here’s what was left to him: two ongoing wars, an economy in disaster, job losses of 70,000 per month, an opposition party determined to bury him, and

active terrorist groups led by Osama bin Laden. Regardless of what this man did or has done or will do, the aforementioned people will continue to hate and defy him. Why? Can I get a reasonable and rational answer to this question? Otherwise I must consider such people to be irrational and totally unfair, to say the least. You know who you are; therefore, reach back into your Christian background and bring up the part that says, ‘Do unto others.’ The Savior left no room for hate in our lexicon.

So take another look and don’t be a dittohead. Have respect for the office if you can’t respect the man. Our country is divided and, of course, sick also. Webster defines sick as: unwholesome or in poor health. It’s in our nature to blame, but must we hate? I suggest you folks – and you know who you are – go back and look up the word ‘honesty.’ To use your words, God bless.

The spring is the season when I feature the best student work from my essay class at Atlantic Cape Community College. This week’s column is by Lauren Sweeney of Egg Harbor Township.

Turkey, Greece, and Austria are some of the stamps that are on my grandmother’s passport.

Lauren O’Mara was married with four kids, but that didn’t stop her from traveling the world. Often she would leave the children with her husband, George. It’s the break she needed from the family—after all she was a stay-at-home mom of four.

She lived in Northfield and was an active member of her church. Every Sunday, you could find her at the early mass with her husband and children. The kids all sang in the choir—something they only did to please their mother.

At least once a year, she would pack her bags, grab her passport, and hop on a plane and travel out of the U.S. She went to Egypt and got on a camel ride through the desert. She went to Austria to experience the “Sound of Music.”

Italy was her favorite place to travel. She went often, and each time she brought a little bit of Italy back to New Jersey. After all, she is 100 percent Italian, and her mother was born in Italy.

She traveled until she got sick with

cancer. She told me while she was in the hospital one day that her dream was for me to travel the world like she did. I had been sick my first five years of life and now I had to make up for it.

That is something we both have in common now

because I promised her I’d travel and see what the world has to offer. I had spent much of my childhood in and out of hospitals getting surgery, and now it was

my chance to see the world. I started traveling at age

10. I went on a cruise to the Bahamas and loved it. From that moment, I knew it was something that I would be doing for the rest of my life. My traveling got more adventurous as the years went on. I visited Puerto Rico and Canada.

I also have gained my grandmother’s sense of adventure—whether it is jet skiing, snorkeling, or zip lining.

My grandmother told me that I was meant to beat all the battles I’ve been through for a reason and that she would always travel with me. Every adventure I go on, I go with my grandma watching over me.

One day my passport will have more stamps in it than my grandmother’s — and I know she will be proud.

OPENING DOORSIn Cape May County

By Paulann Pierson

3-D Printing: A Classic American Success Story In Kansas, a 16-year-

old produces a prosthetic hand for a family friend’s nine-year-old son, Matthew, born without fingers on one hand. The teen’s total cost to make this prosthesis on a 3-D printer at his county library: eight hours of labor. The value of this prosthesis to Matthew and his family: priceless. Inspired by this rewarding personal experience, the teen has started a non-profit to make 3-D produced prostheses for other needy children.

In Alabama, a similar happy ending unfolds for two-year-old Kate, also missing fingers on one hand since birth. The owner of the company that created the toddler’s new hand pro bono touts the advantages of 3-D printing for this type of project, “The ease of 3-D printing means low-cost, low-risk and high adaptability. The plans can be scaled up as children grow or customized to fit unique limbs or … situations. Print it, see if it works. If it doesn’t work, interchange it.” This entrepreneur predicts that within 10 years this technology will produce a fully automated, robotic, neuro-controlled prosthetic for $5.

In South Carolina, Chuck Hull is still active on the board and is chief technical advisor for 3-D Systems, the company he founded in 1986. Hull, a design engineer by trade, is credited with inventing 3-D printing and holds the patent on the solid imaging process he calls stereolithography. Hardly an overnight success, his invention has only become mainstream over the past few years. Just this year, he has been inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame. At age 74, he is excited about the future of the technology and wants to stay involved. He is optimistic about its future, because he believes, “When you get enough smart people working on something, it always gets better.”

Interestingly, when asked to identify his greatest accomplishment, other than the technology itself, Hull is pleased that 3-D printing may contribute to the movement to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. Unlike older manufacturing techniques in which material is cut, drilled or shaved off, with 3-D printing very little raw material is wasted. In addition, this technology allows manufacturers to produce products on demand, reducing the need for warehouse space. Hull feels strongly that these advantages of digital manufacturing may reverse the trend toward offshore production.

He also sees his invention potentially filling another need in our contemporary s o c i e t y. T h e r a p i d technological advances in our computer age, Hull feels, have tended to make individuals feel detached

from tangible accomplishments. The 3-D printing process, on the other hand, offers the means to use technology to convert something on the computer to real-life applications.

It’s no coincidence that the real-life applications that have caught the public’s attention in human interest stories such as Matthew’s and Kate’s are medical and biomedical. The real strengths of 3-D printing lie in complexity and customization. So medical applications are a natural fit for this technology because all bodies are different. And in an era so conscious of “Affordable Care,” the cost-effectiveness of Hull’s process satisfies this very current public concern.

The ripple effects of Hull’s invention draw on many of America’s strengths and seem well suited to some of America’s current and future challenges. Above all, the story of 3-D printing is a re-affirmation of the resilience and triumph of the American character.

Prison Talk

Tragedy Warrants a Response By MATT MAHER

The greater transgression than the tragedy itself is a failure to respond to the tragedy. The right response is the key that unlocks the success in suffering; the wrong response, however, is the noose that tightens the grip of suffering.

Suffering occurs at different levels, as do the responses. But one thing is certain: real faith makes all the difference. Whatever the reason tragedy has struck, it still requires a response. Suffering will have its way: It will open you up or close you in.

Remember, your insight of tragedy doesn’t have to be dictated by other people’s eyesight of the tragedy. Consider me, for example. I was the cause of tragedy, but that doesn’t exempt me from having to choose the right or wrong response of heart. Some eyes that view my disastrous event will only ever see me in a noose. That refusal to see an individual beyond his tragic circumstances prompts me to wonder: Who is the one really hung up?

My responsibility to tragedy is to shoulder it, not hang from it. Failure to respond in the right manner keeps the sensation of pain on the nerve, when what is required is that the suffering produces new insights and vision to navigate the pain on the nerve. Not to numb it, but to learn from it.

There is no public poll that determines a response, nor should there be. Rather, it is one’s personal role that delivers the right response. You see, when success is unlocked in suffering, it produces a soul that someone

else will need to feel in order to get through their own tragedy—like a message of encouragement written in Braille on your soul, the soul of a fellow sufferer. In that vulnerable moment, their need for insightful comfort far outweighs their eyesight of the reason behind your tragedy.

Tragedy is universal and inescapable; many are not sure which way to go in their pain. They may have a key in their right hand and a noose in the other, and that is

why your heart can help lead them to the right response. The right helping hand brings success and not suffocation. The right helping hand is always part of God’s plan. The right helping hand is the insightful hand that extends God’s heart through suffering.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we

ourselves are comforted by God.” (II Corinthians 1:3-4).

Human Trafficking: Story of My FriendBy KAMALA SARUP

My friend, who used to work in a brothel, told me her story:

“This large city of brothels is terrifying to look at, with its tall buildings. It felt as if everyone who lived inside was satisfied as they quenched their hunger. I don’t like even to remember. Due to the necessity to sell my body every evening, there was always within me an unknown fear of terror or fright, creating an empire of its own. I felt restless about how I made my living; I was disgusted at every moment with that kind of life.

“The notorious brothel where I was living was a place where thousands of girls like me had to sell their bodies for cheap prices. Alas. How hard and full of terror it was to live in that environment. When I think of it, my heart trembles, even today. Although the pain within me had another chief reason and that was the memory that never left me.

“I almost always remembered my village: the mountains, the waterfalls and the forests that extended far and wide, looked as hard as life itself; whether uphill

or downhill, they were filled with crowds.“When I went to the market with my mother, we had

to cross through dangerous, wild forests. My mother had a dream exactly like mine, which her daughter would get some education by going to the city and would be able to stand on her own to make her living. But I was brought to this terrible brothel, sold by my own uncle’s son. I was sold for just 20,000 rupees.

“In a place where human vultures spend money for foul play with raw flesh and where one’s prestige was ruined for just a handful of coins, how could I survive? My heart was filled with depression and anguish, but I was unable to express any of my feelings to anyone, because the trade of female bodies was found everywhere, from large lodges to hotels to the yellow mansions of that city. In that place where girls were bargained for everyday, selling them and turning them into prostitutes by force and then inflicting untold tortures on them were just common incidents. Sexually depraved rich men quenched their thirsts with me everyday.”

She was obviously scared as she told me her story. (Page A46 Please)

Intelligent DiscussionOur Readers Write

To the Editor:

As I read the letters to the Herald most weeks, it strikes me that certain basic rules of intelligent, rational discussion are not being observed, and we are not well served by ignoring them. So, let me suggest a few that are easily followed. They aren’t my

rules. They are just the rules of intelligent discourse.

1. Stop using quotes to justify a position unless those quotes reflect the thoughts of the majority of scholars/experts/researchers on a subject. Anyone who has taught or taken freshman logic should know

Crying, she said, “It was a great joke that my rights over my own body were snatched away from me. Questions often tormented me from time to time. After all, what did it really mean for a person to live as a woman? Did I exist just for providing cheap enjoyment that others could have by paying money? My hatred of my existence as a woman came out in the form of thousands of such questions. What a pity.

My body was torn and snatched by hundreds every day. Every time I saw the mistresses of the brothels around me, I felt an inferiority complex. All the men who came were hungry to fulfill their sexual passion. I felt a strong hatred towards men. But despite that fact, I had to sell my body.

My life, in fact, was quite terrible as I had to live 24 hours a day surrounded by agents and customers. At the gates of every building, there were agents busy haggling for our bodies as if we were beasts up for auction. And we waited for the customers inside a very dark and foul-smelling room.

Who was there to love me in that world of money? Everywhere, there was alcohol, money and only customers. At that time, I was completely robbed. The value of my body and my soul was completely depleted. And now, I have returned to my own country with the germs of HIV within me, after serving at that brothel for so many years. I have become empty now. Coming back here, I have come back with an empty mind and carrying a terrible disease.”

I asked her a lot of questions, only some of which she could answer. I came close to her and sat down. “I have arranged a job for you in an office. You must forget your past,” I told her everything in one breath.

She cried in response and said, “My past was filled with such torture that, even if the criminals received capital punishment, it would not heal my wounds or erase the stain upon my character.”

Kamala Sarup, who writes from Rio Grande, once organized a program on HIV/AIDS and trafficking in Dhulikhel, Sindhupalchok District and Chitawan in Nepal. “Many women in Asia are among the most vulnerable to trafficking,” said Sarup. “Only limited attempts have been made to combat the problem. Lack of commitment and policy implementation pose obstacles in solving the crisis. Education and awareness are the two powerful instruments that can check the spread of the problems.”

Human Trafficking(From Page A45)

Sobriety, Belief, & UnbeliefBy PAUL SIMMERMAN

I started my 20-year drinking and drugging career when I was 13-years-old. At the time I didn’t even think about the ramifications of what I was getting myself into. I, like most immature teenagers, thought “it wouldn’t happen to me.” Meaning, I wouldn’t be an alcoholic or drug addict. You could say I didn’t believe the potential outcome of my decision to participate in something that I would eventually want to stop doing. I was aware of the potential, but I just didn’t believe it.

While I was in the clutches, the captivity, of drug and alcohol addiction, I didn’t believe that my life was bad. The choices that I made separated me from everything I had ever cared about. Family, friends, girlfriends, jobs, and everything that was important to me. Most of all God.

I couldn’t believe that my addiction was causing all of this. It must have been all the other people involved in the equation. I thought this despite the fact that I was the common denominator. As I got older I didn’t believe there was any hope for me. Toward the end of my drinking and drugging career, I can remember waking up in the morning and thinking to myself, “I can’t believe I woke up again.”

My days and nights were basically spent severely intoxicated. I would black out three or four days a week and sometimes for three or four days in a row. I just didn’t believe there was any solution for this misery, no freedom from this imprisonment. I just didn’t believe in anything. Most of all God.

Let me fast forward to the good part of this story. When I was 33-years-old, it dawned on me that I was separate from God. I grew up in a Christian home and believed in God. As a result of events in my life I consciously denied God and turned from Him.

So, here I sit, 33-years-old and more alone than I could ever explain with words. I couldn’t even invite myself over to Thanksgiving dinner at relative’s houses. Once again in trouble, I was forced into the rooms of AA. I never went to a meeting before because I didn’t believe anything could help me.

That day I stumbled into this meeting as drunk and high as I had ever been in my life, I was full of hate, anger, resentment, and everything that doesn’t come from God. Somehow, that day I looked up and saw hope. I’ll never forget thinking to myself, “This is how I’m going to stay sober.”

Once I had that thought, I became as sober as I was before I took my first drink. Eight years later I realized that God had taken my addiction from me. He removed it from me because I had repented in my mind when I said, “this is how I’m going to stay sober.” In that instance I believed there was a solution to my condition of bad choices and sinfulness. That day God drained the drugs and alcohol out of my body like, as I’ve said for years, “water draining from a tub.”

I’m now a couple of weeks from 10 years sober. My unbelief has turned to belief. It is a process, but it’s a wonderful process. I chose to believe the truth that is the Bible. I also chose to believe people’s testimonies of their encounters with God. I believe some people may read this article and believe this could happen for them.

I also want to invite everyone to hear Doug Addison at Christ Fellowship in Seaville, June 6 and 7. Doug is a Christian comedian with an incredible testimony of freedom from the darkness of addiction.

For more information, go to www.snjce.com. I pray that the stronghold of addiction is broken in our wonderful area of South Jersey.

Shore Animal Control Service Should Not Be Wrapped Up in ATV Noise Ordinance DiscussionTo the Editor:

As the public information officer for Shore Animal Control Services, I am responding to the article regarding Dennis Township Committee not supporting ATV noise ordinance. Somehow, our company became involved, suggesting we might have supported an ATV Noise Ordinance. We want to clarify that our company is an animal control company and only supports ordinances that involve resident pet safety and animal welfare. Somehow, Mr. Gibson combined his desire for an ATV Noise Ordinance with our promotion of animal welfare legislation. The two issues are entirely different and should not be confused or joined together in any way.

The township already has a dog barking component of their dog ordinance, which we, along with the township officials feel, is sufficient. We responded to reports left by Mr. Gibson on our website of barking dogs as we would with any other report of barking dogs, neglect or possible animals in distress. Our officers found several unlicensed dogs from these reports during our census, and residents were educated about the extreme temperatures and brought their animals indoors. Our census will continue until September and we will continue to enforce all the local animal welfare ordinances and dog license ordinance to protect the public against a rabies outbreak (the primary purpose of the license state regulation).

Shore Animal Control is absolutely in support of animal welfare ordinances that prevent habitual tethering of dogs outside and outdoor dogs from enduring extreme weather conditions. We were successful in having Wildwood and Upper Township introduce such an ordinance this year. Our officers responded to several email reports of dogs outside barking as we began our census in March. This resulted in several warnings of unlicensed dogs. We appreciate the public’s help, including Mr. Gibson’s, in reporting animals that have been left outside during the extreme temperatures. It is because of these calls and reports on our website, our animal control officers have been able to help prevent several tragedies this winter during this extremely cold season. When the temperatures drop 20 degrees in a day during the winter, and animals might be left outside, the result could be fatal. We encourage and thank the public for their help in reporting. These calls have often saved lives.

Dennis Township took positive steps in 2004 to add additional animal welfare stipulations in their dog ordinance. Our officers are already using the updated ordinances from 2004 that protect both animals and residents. These steps included the following:

“Every doghouse shall contain bedding such as straw or other absorbent material in sufficient quality to provide adequate insulation for the dog(s) in the doghouse. Bedding shall be maintained in a dry condition and renewed or changed as necessary.”

No owner, caretaker, guardian or handler shall withhold proper shelter, protection from weather, veterinary care and immune care to any animal. No owner, caretaker, guardian or handler shall fail to provide his or her animal with sufficient food and drinkable water on a daily basis. Food and water must be in an animal food consumption or water consumption type container, feeder or waterer.

No animal shall be subjected to unnecessary suffering and cruelty such as subjecting the animal to prolonged fear, injury, pain or physical abuse. Interaction with humans and other animals shall not be unreasonably withheld.

These were very positive steps which updated the code in 2004. We intend to continue to use and enforce these ordinances to further enhance the welfare of all these animals in the municipality. We will continue to suggest and work with officials to further improve the quality of care for animals in the township, as we do in all the municipalities we service.

When did Dissent Become Terrorism?To the Editor:

“I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and disagree with this administration somehow you’re not patriotic.” – Sen. Hillary Clinton, 2003

Mrs. Clinton and I may not agree on much politically. But her above referenced comment is spot on. However, many in her own party apparently believe that this fundamental right of dissent only applies when a Republican is in the White House.

The March 12 Letter to the Editor, “Republicans are Terrorists” is sadly typical of the state of political discourse in our country today. As a Republican, I am tempted to fire back. I’m tempted to refute the blatantly distorted characterizations and half-truths. I‘m itching to dismantle the predictable talking points of the left and expose the hypocrisy so evident in this wandering diatribe of hyperbolic hatred. But to what end? Is there any point in arguing with someone who labels dissenting opinions as terrorism? And what point is there any longer in wrestling over which side can out shout the other?

By painting all Republicans as terrorists, the writer joins a dangerous chorus, lead by many on the left, bent on delegitimizing and marginalizing any opposition to the current administration. Rather than debate the issues on their merits, certain progressives seek to define their opposition as extremists, on the “wrong side of history” and disconnected from the majority of Americans. By declaring the GOP as an out of touch party on the brink of extinction, they hope to create a self-fulfilling prophecy. Repeat a lie long enough and it will eventually become the truth, right?

Never-ending, media-driven propaganda aside, reports of the conservative movement’s demise are greatly exaggerated. The Republican Party that the writer would label as “a terrorist organization” numbers over 47 million registered voters. This supposedly dwindling movement has been freely elected to hold the majority

of governorships (29) and state legislatures (27) in the United States. All early indicators for the 2014 midterms point to an expanding GOP majority in the House of Representatives and the real possibility of a Republican majority in the U.S. Senate. The Republican Party is alive and well and can offer Americans a positive and dynamic conservative alternative to the deepening crisis of Obama’s failed progressive experiment.

My friends on the left like to say that elections have consequences. Obama won and his opponents should just shut up. But the fact is all elections have consequences and the Republican majority in the House of Representatives, as well as many of their compatriots in the Senate, were elected in direct response to the Democratic Party’s lurch to the left under President Obama. These Republicans were elected (and many reelected in 2012) to put the brakes on the “fundamental transformation of America.” Their role is every bit as legitimate as the role of our duly elected president and they have a responsibility to defend Congress’s role as an equal partner to the president and the courts in America’s governance.

We may be a country divided. This does not disqualify the opinions of those in the minority nor the merits of their arguments. Blatant and insidious attempts by those in power and their minions to intimidate, punish and criminalize dissenting opinions have no place in a free and open society and no one who understands the importance of freedom of speech should accept this bullying.

The power to set our course to a better America is in our hands. It always has been. But only if we can rekindle the kindred spirit that binds us all as Americans; the love of freedom, the responsibilities of liberty and fealty to the right of free expression enshrined in our Constitution. Let’s stop burning bridges and start building them.

Proposed Sidewalk is Unnecessary

To the Editor:

For seven months of the year I either drive, bike or walk on Beach Avenue in North Cape May at least once per day at varying times of the day. I am having a difficult time understanding the urgency and need for constructing a new sidewalk on the bay side of Beach Ave. It has been proposed as a safety measure for motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists but it does not appear to address or solve to any degree, all the safety concerns. New sidewalk or not, motorists will always have to be extremely vigilant when using Beach Ave. because of the walkers and bikers.

Numerous pedestrians have chosen to walk in the street because they are more comfortable walking there than on a sidewalk. They have not gone to the street because the current sidewalk is too crowded for them. I believe the addition of a new sidewalk will not lure a significant number of walkers from the street. Avid walkers seem to prefer the streets whenever possible. I also can’t imagine bikers rushing to the new sidewalk and, quite honestly, they don’t belong there because there are laws for them to follow regarding riding on streets with traffic. One of the main problems with bicyclists is their riding two or more abreast and riding in the wrong direction compared to their motoring counterparts. A new sidewalk is not a cure for this either.

So, I must wonder and ask the following: If the current sidewalk is not overcrowded

with walkers, and the bicyclists should be legally limited to the street, why do we need another sidewalk? For the sake of nature, why disturb and diminish the dunes and risk creating the potential for more vulnerability to flooding?

Assuming that a major goal of this project is beach access because of grant funding, I don’t see how access will be significantly different just because you step from a new sidewalk onto the sand. From that point on it is virtually the same walk from there to the bay as it is now with no additional relief to make the walk easier, especially on the elderly.

If there is grant money available for beach and sunset access, why not pursue one of the visions Mayor Beck favored during his fishing pier discussions and move in the direction of an updated and expanded gazebo, jetty, etc. with handicapped accessibility in the Douglas Park area for enjoying the view, sunsets and fishing. The mayor mentioned numerous times that the ferry entities were very much in favor of promoting the development of attractions in that general area inferring that ferry support would be almost a given.

Hopefully, this will not be a major expenditure that results in only minimal improvements when a different vision may provide more enjoyment, accessibility and service or usage for more people.

Super Wal-Mart Hearings are ‘Horribly Flawed’To the Editor:

The continuation of the hearing for a super Wal-Mart was absolutely classic. The out of town paid professionals testified about our area for which they have no understanding at all. We are the very bottom of the state, a peninsula barely above sea level in many communities. We are a country seashore vacation destination. Unlike many other such areas, we are also situated near some heavily industrialized and populated areas. We are not Cumberland or Atlantic Counties and we are not Myrtle Beach or Key West, we are unique.

The testimonies with constant comparisons to other store locations are unsound, possibly unwitting but all the same unsound. There was a horribly flawed and incomplete traffic/parking study accomplished just after parts of the county were evacuated for Hurricane Irene. The changes recommended are coincidentally just enough to avoid DOT review. This testimony is from folks who attach their credentials to a performance they’ve repeated many times. With the aid of an artful attorney they are guided to what appears to be compelling testimony. With just enough rules of evidence to be intimidating to the general public, we are given a show that should probably be done at the Performing Arts Center. Not sure if our Planning Board should be considering a variance or an academy award for the applicant.

Many years ago our state legislators recognized the uniqueness of our area. They put law into effect to protect

it from the onslaught of profiteers they knew would be coming to exploit our natural resources. The Coastal Area Facility Review Act of 1973 (CAFRA) recognized that the Jersey shore should belong to no one but to everyone. The borders within CAFRA jurisdiction are defined with environmental sensitivity and Cape May County is the only county to be completely engulfed within the act. At about the same time this legislation was born so was an army of professionals formed to circumvent, sidestep or otherwise manipulate this law. Lawyers, engineers and planners are among the developer’s troops. The many family farms that once dotted our community have been transformed into sprawling housing developments because of the professional manipulation of the law. With this in mind a new concept for planning has been underway. Many good citizens have come forward to work on these plans through various programs from the state. These dedicated people, aided by professionals from the area, have incorporated the local master plan with these new concepts. Chief among the new ideas is a town center designation with storefronts having office and apartment-type housing layered atop. Walking through the area is meant to be encouraged and well accommodated. Many advantages are seen, including traffic management, sprawl and environmental impact reductions.

The existing Wal-Mart comes nowhere near this plan. As it is, it will be difficult to achieve what is desired in the town center designation. As is proposed for the expansion, it will be impossible. Those who live here know full well

we have a mess in Rio Grande. In addition to being known as Rio Jam for the traffic issues, there is an undesirable element taking hold of this community.

I have recently spent some time in the woods behind this ill-conceived commercial development and it is no place you want your children to play. I have no overnight solution but I am certain we do

not want to move backwards from the concept now in view. For these reasons as well as the many others I have expressed, I am asking our planning board members to vote no to this attack on our community.

that most quotes are used as arguments from authority and, as such, are rarely valid. If for no other reason, there are always quotes from people on the other side of a position, so the quote proves nothing. Quoting Theodore Roosevelt or Ike or Edmund Burke or John Adams demonstrates absolutely nothing more than indicating that the writer has a weak argument that needs support. A solid argument stands without the support of quotes from “authorities.”

2. Stop pretending to be constitutional experts. To make claims about knowing the meaning of the Constitution means that we know more than members of the Supreme Court, scholars, jurists and legal experts who continually debate such things. It is the utmost arrogance to suggest that we of virtually no learning or legal background know more than they.

3. Stop pretending to understand history. History is really complicated stuff. Except for the obvious things (like the fact that there was slavery in the south), any statement beyond that is almost always a narrow slice (like slave families were routinely broken up), which is often misleading at best.

4. Especially, stop all talk about the intentions of our “founding fathers.” There were lots of them and they had a wide disparity of opinions on a wide variety of subjects. Ditto with the “framers of the Constitution.” As an aside, it doesn’t matter what the ‘framers” thought or intended. What matters is what the ratifiers thought they meant or intended. So unless you have studied the writings both personal and public of all 1,100 of the members of the various state ratifying conventions meant, it would be wise to avoid talking about what the “founding fathers“

intended.5. Stop all smears and innuendos about the motivations

of various leaders, political figures, etc. We don’t know what Obama intends and still don’t know what Bush intended. Motivations are almost always complex and it doesn’t help to pretend otherwise. Sometimes we know them. Most of the time we don’t.

6. Stop pretending to know the future. We don’t. No one knows what the impact of raising the minimum wage will be. The best we can do is try to make predictions using the most reliable studies and not ignoring the ones which dispute them. We don’t know if sexual liberation or female liberation is causing the breakdown of the family in America. In fact we don’t know if families have broken, except in some narrow senses. So if we want to make claims, let’s do it with modesty, using the time tested (but often ignored) “I think” or “it seems to me” qualifiers. A bit of humility never hurts.

Can we agree on that? I realize that might take the fun out of blaming, and ranting and posturing and pontificating and pretending to be knowledgeable, but it might do wonders to give rise to honest discussion and clarifying thoughts. Heck, it might even lead a way forward in our thinking.
