Narcan TrainingAt Church DrawsOverflow Crowd

By VINCE CONTI

BURLEIGH – The Lighthouse Church or-ganized and hosted a training session March 12 for the public in the use of naloxone as an emergency response to an opiate overdose.

With training provided by the John Brooks Rehabilitation Center from Atlantic City, the attempt to limit registrations to 75 people failed as the number of individuals who tried to enroll forced the creation of a second list. In the end, the church set up over 100 chairs and found the space taken up with people who felt a need to learn the first principles of response to an overdose.

“This shows how great the need is in Cape May County,” said Robin Hetherington.

Hetherington is administrator of Christians United for Recovery (CURE) which she de-scribes as a ministry of The Lighthouse Church but it is also an organization uniting many other churches and working with numerous community organizations.

CURE works with addicts and with their families to gain access to information and resources required to deal with hopelessness that families often feel when coping with a loved one’s addiction. One recovering addict at the training session, Joseph Vanaman, said, “I don’t know where I’d be if it weren’t for this church.”

Mother Charged In Daughter’s Death, Cellular Use AllegedGOSHEN - Kristen J.

Williams, formerly Kristin J. Conner, 40, of Villas, has been charged with vehicu-lar homicide, endangering the welfare of a child, and causing death while violat-ing safety laws, all second degree crimes in connec-

tion with the death of her 11-year-old daughter July 9, 2014.

The Cumberland Coun-ty Prosecutor’s Office an-nounced March 12 that Williams is alleged to have recklessly caused the death

of Morgan Ferguson in a one-car motor vehicle crash.

The accident occurred shortly before 7 a.m. on Route 47 in Goshen in the northbound lane. Morgan was pronounced deceased

about an hour later at Cape Regional Medical Center.

Use of a cellular device at the time of the fatal crash is alleged in the charges.

Due to a conflict within the Cape May County Pros-ecutor’s Office, the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office appointed and swore Cumberland County Se-nior Assistant Prosecutor Michael Ostrowski as a special deputy attorney general to handle the case. Middle Township Police Department was primary investigative agency.

The charges and alle-gations contained in the complaint are merely accu-sations and the defendant is considered innocent un-less and until proven guilty.

Democrats Tap Bruce Land to JoinVanDrew Team for First District Run

By CAMILLE SAILER

VINELAND – Sen. Jeff Van Drew and Assembly-man Robert Andrzejc-zak held a reception in a packed event room at the Hampton Inn March 10. Over 200 Democratic Party supporters and party loyalists awaited the an-nouncement of this part-nership’s running mate for the upcoming election in November for First District representation.

The First District com-prises Cape May, Atlantic and Cumberland counties. “We reached out through Facebook, Twitter and

word of mouth primarily and I’m so thrilled with the incredible turn out,” said Van Drew.

To kick off the evening, Van Drew first introduced Andrzejczak as a hero from the war in Iraq and a “spe-cial kind of man in light of his service to our country and sacrifice through his battle-related injuries.”

Andrzejczak took the podium and said it has been an honor to serve the people of the First District for the two years since he was elected. “I’ve fought as hard for you as I did in Iraq and we’ll be fighting shoulder to shoulder in

November to bring about another win,” Andrzejczak said. “Whether it’s fighting against a big increase in the gas tax or fighting for more health care for our veter-ans, I will always stand up and be counted!”

Van Drew then stepped up to the podium again to announce that the As-sembly team to stand for re-election in November for the First District will include two combat vet-erans, both Andrzejczak and new candidate, former Army Sgt. Bruce Land of Vineland.

Online Use Grows as Circulation DropsBy VINCE CONTI

AVALON – The bor-ough’s Free Public Library’s physical space is just the tip of a very large electronic iceberg. At least that’s how Director Norman Gluck-man sees it.

Gluckman presented his annual “State of the Library” presentation to Borough Council March 11, placing great emphasis on the growing body of

online services provided by the library to borough pa-tron resident. Making sure council also understood that he feels the library still needs more physical space, the thrust of Gluckman’s presentation was on the implementation of applica-tions that let patrons access magazines, music, books and a variety of databases online.

In December, the library even launched its own

mobile app for the most popular mobile operating systems.

“The questions we get now are not about who was president 100 years ago,” Gluckman said. “Now people bring in a new electronic device and want to know how to use it.” Events organized by the library skew in the direc-tion of children’s programs and classes on technology usage.

The library, which again in 2014 was awarded a prestigious five-star rank-ing, has seen circulation de-cline for the last few years and that trend continued in 2014. Gluckman pointed out that such declines are part of a statewide trend. However, strong growth in usage of online resources leads Gluckman to cau-tiously predict growth for 2015.

The library services resi-dents wherever they may be, an important feature in a town with so many second homes. Gluckman showed statistics that dem-onstrated growth in the library’s borrow-by-mail program. Now that data collection has been im-proved, Gluckman was able to show that the li-brary’s network had much heavier usage than earlier thought. The usage is com-ing through wireless con-nections.

As patrons of the library place a greater emphasis on electronic services and resources, the library is seeking to stay in step with demand.

Capital ImprovementsCouncil introduced for

its first reading a bond ordinance authorizing the issuance of $531,000 in bonds to cover the expense of various capital improve-ments. The improvements will also require almost $60,000 in additional funds which, in aggregate, will cover the borough’s down payments on the improvements.

The largest majority of the funds, $480,000, will be allocated to road improvements including paving and lighting im-provements to the 28th Street parking lot. Other

City Introduces $50-Million Budget, Debates Proposed Verizon Cell Tower

By CAMILLE SAILER

SEA ISLE CITY – At the City Council meeting March 10, Sea Isle City Business Administrator George Savastano intro-duced two ordinances re-garding fiscal matters. The first, to “exceed the mu-nicipal budget appropria-tion limits and to establish a CAP bank” is an “insur-

ance policy” Savastano said that will allow the city budget to go over the state’s permitted level of 1.5 per-cent (from a predetermined level by an additional 2 percent).

“We have never used this provision but it’s good to have in place just in case,” said Mayor Leon-ard Desiderio. The second ordinance introduced the

borough’s 2015 municipal budget in the amount of a little over $50 million, based on discussions at the latest budget workshop March 2.

The budget will be on the city website and avail-able for second reading and public comment April 14 at 10 a.m. at the municipal building.

Why does naloxone or Narcan as it is more popularly known, require training for the public? Narcan is a drug that can reverse an opiate overdose, at least temporar-ily, and buy time for emergency assistance to get to the individual.

Recently it has been put into the hands of first respond-ers, police and paramedics. Now there is a drive to put the drug into the hands of people who abuse drugs and their families. Families and friends are in a position to respond immediately before emergency medical services can arrive.

That proximity and the increasing death toll due to opiate overdoses is why advocates argue naloxone and the training required to administer it should be given to the public.

It is not a move without critics. Some argue that easy access to the drug provides a sense of security that encour-ages drug abuse. There are concerns about proper training and about rising costs of Medicaid, a needs-based program for which many addicts qualify.

Some also fear that fear its availability may keep family members from calling for medical assistance if they think the drug can solve the immediate problem of an overdose.

The White House Office of Drug and Control Policy says that the number of overdose deaths involving opiates has been raising rapidly, a 45 percent increase involving heroin from 2006 to 2010. That is enough to prod 17 states to allow naloxone to be distributed to the public.

New Jersey passed a law last year to permit public ac-cess to the drug after getting trained. That requirement for training, and the protection it provides under state law for those administering the drug, is the reason the training session in Court House was in such demand.

Diana Weiner, a registered nurse with the Brooks Center, conducted the training session and continuously tried to allay the apprehension of individuals who may be called on to administer the drug to a loved one in a life-and-death situation.

“If you can use a nasal spray, you can do this,” she said. She impressed on the audience throughout the session that step one is always call 911. Using naloxone is a step to buy time. It is not a replacement for medical assistance.

The drug is considered a very effective response when used properly. Naloxone works by displacing the opiates from receptors in the nervous system and helping the body to remember to breathe. The drug only works with opiate induced-overdoses or overdoses where at least one of the drugs used was an opiate. While the common image is of a heroin overdose, Weiner pointed to the sharp increases in overdoses due to abused prescription drugs such as Oxycontin or Percocet, both opiates.

Kits were handed out after the session. Each contained two doses of the drug to be administered as a nasal spray, gloves, and a face mask for rescue breathing if the situa-

tion requires it, and a card that can be filled in and mailed back for replacement doses. The kits are numbered and recorded with the name of the individual who was trained and received it.

The session covered use of the drug, techniques for dealing with an overdose situation, and proper storage of the drug. It also stressed the fact that while naloxone only works on opiates, administering it when one is unsure of the underlying drug that is causing the overdose cannot do any harm. If the problem is caused by a non-opiate drug, the naloxone will not cause harm.

The Philadelphia Inquirer recently reported on overdose mortality rates and the article was passed out to all in at-tendance. The Inquirer reported that Cape May County has the highest mortality rate in New Jersey.

While some might debate the article, the point seemed clear. There is a very real problem in Cape May County and the training session organized by CURE tapped into a vein of anxiety and concern among many in the public.

Vanaman said that he could leave the church and eas-ily score drugs in the Villas, his home town, or in many other locations in the county. The price? He put it at $40 a bundle, which contains 14 bags. Vanaman’s own habit before he started his current recovery was 3 bundles a day. He started experimenting with drugs at the age of 13 and had graduated to heroin by 16. Just a week shy of his 29th birthday, Vanaman went to prison for stealing copper to feed his habit. He suffers from speech problems and seizures due to brain damage he says doctors attribute to drug abuse.

A graduate of Lower Cap May Regional High School, Vanaman found odd jobs in roofing, siding, and landscaping that allowed him to continue his habit until the increasing amounts required led him to crime and a four year prison sentence. His sentence over about a year ago and his cur-rent recovery in its fifth month, Vanaman took his kit but says he is not the one who will need it. The tragedy of his story, much of it caused by his own decisions he admits, was present in families across the room.

Naloxone and the training to use it properly buys time in an overdose situation. Only a host of other services and an addict committed to recovery can buy back a life. CURE understands that and tries to aid families by connecting to the resources that can help. “We are a clearinghouse,” Hetherington said. Vanaman says he won’t go back to his earlier life and is a regular at the Thursday evening help sessions at the church. He says the county needs a recovery center of its own. “It wouldn’t solve the problem, but it would help,” he says.

The same could be said for the naloxone training. It wouldn’t solve the problem, but it may just help.

department remain with Sheehan and the regular chain of command. Taylor also indicated that his move was in part a response to a request from Sheehan.

Although Sheehan was removed from his position as chief, he reverted to his previous position as captain and remains the department’s senior officer.

The March 3 council meeting, which also saw the resignation of Council member Jerry Inderwies, has been followed by disclosure of events dating to the summer of 2014.

Taylor directed that “all future communications of any kind” with the police department by city officials “go through Detective Weeks.”

Taylor also directed the mayor and council to go through Weeks to contact him if they had “any questions or concerns” about his decision.

energy throughout the process. Freehold Director Gerald Thornton spoke to the many

benefits that accrue to the county from its historical relationship with the Coast Guard.

Last May at Cape May Convention Hall, a ceremony put a public face on the county’s application to the Coast Guard. Soon-to-retire Coast Guard Commandant Robert J. Papp spoke of the long relationship between the service and Cape May and assured the audience that the designa-tion was going to be approved.

At that event, Mahaney focused on the importance of the Coast Guard to the local economy when he said, “Tourism is number one, but the Coast Guard base is number two.”

Following the freeholders’ meeting, Mahaney said plans were underway to “personalize” the resolution by having each municipality add to it through local resolu-tions. Prestige remarked, “Every service has a place that is known as home. For the Coast Guard that place is Cape May. We have all come through here.”

2015 Final BudgetWith no public comment, freeholders established the

county budget of $142.1 million for 2015. A persistent loss of ratables over several years, low

interest returns on county investments, and increasing needs in areas of public health and safety all played factors in driving the budget.

The 2015 budget represents an increase of about $3 million in county spending over last year.

Thornton thanked Treasurer Francine Springer and department heads for the hard work required to get a budget that addresses growing needs while minimizing the increase in the tax rate for county residents.

County’s HomelessDenise Venturini of the Cape May County Homeless

Task Force used the public comment period to raise con-cerns about meeting the needs of the county’s homeless. Choosing this night when the county approved its budget for 2015, Venturini said it was time to think about the next budget and the needs of the homeless.

Speaking on behalf of volunteers who regularly work with the homeless, Venturini specifically stressed the need for a van to provide transportation when homeless individuals need to be taken for medical treatment or appointments to county Social Services.

She presented freeholders with a proposed budget for

a van to be used by the task force. The estimate annual costs came to just under $13,000.

A number of homeless individuals then took their turn at the lectern asking, as one individual put it, “not for a hand out, but a hand up.”

Comments ranged over issues of red tape, exploitation by unscrupulous landlords who take advantage of those able to pay, limits on time in protected areas during code blue situations, and the difficulties of dealing with an overburdened Social Services department.

Freeholder Kristine Gabor, who oversees county Health and Human Services, had social services staff present to meet with individuals after the meeting.

She spoke of the county’s desire to help and of the need to have issues brought to the attention of county officials. “If we don’t know about specific problems, we cannot address them,” she said.

Thornton admitted “the system is challenged,” but Gabor also stressed the need for individuals “to partici-pate in saving themselves.” Thornton cited the fact that many times individuals call the county hot line to report themselves as homeless but then fail to show up for ap-pointments to get help.

Venturini sees the advocates and volunteers who are part of the task force as the necessary link in that chain. “We make sure that the people we work with keep their appointments,” she said. She pointed to the connection between those efforts and the need for the van.

The fact that many of the individuals who brought their stories to the freeholders came from Wildwood prompted Wildwood Mayor Ernie Troiano to speak of the high level of poverty in that city. He tried to send a message to any homeless individuals who think of Wildwood as a place to get a job.

“Don’t come to Wildwood,” Troiano spoke passionately about the lack of employment in Wildwood outside of the summer season. “There are no jobs in Wildwood in the off season,” he said repeatedly.

The meeting ended but left in its wake a strong sense of the many difficulties the county and municipalities face in dealing with the extreme examples of poverty and dislocation in the context of a seasonal, tourism-based economy.

Gabor made clear the county’s commitment to weed-ing out fraud and ensuring that assistance gets to those who truly need it.

Township Introduces Budget;Honors Kirk as Employee of Month

By VINCE CONTI

COURT HOUSE –Middle Township Committee in-troduced its 2015 budget at the March 16 meeting. The budget contains no increase in the tax levy and even a slight decrease in the local tax rate given a rise in valuations across the township. “Every-one worked very hard to achieve this budget goal,” Mayor Timothy Donohue said.

The local tax levy is ex-pected to bring in $12.3 million, which is the same as last year. That amount represents about 60 per-cent of total forecasted revenues in the budget

of $20.3 million. The tax rate is 45.2 cents per $100 of assessed value. Busi-ness Administrator Connie Mahon commented on the diligent efforts of the township departments that contributed to this budget.

The budget makes great-er use of the surplus than did the previous budget. It uses $1.7 million of the current $2.2 million surplus to fund the 2015 budget. As in previous years, unexpended budget dollars will be returned to the surplus. The 2015 budget anticipates recover-ing the surplus dollars used to fund the budget over the course of the year.

He conceded seeing a man who appeared to be home-less during August 2014. “Everybody wants to save Wild-wood,” Brennan continued. “We have our problems, but no more than Cape May or anywhere else.” His advice for those who may criticize Wildwood came directly: “Solve your own problems.” Brennan wished that commissioners would put out a press release to defend the city’s position.

Mayor Ernie Troiano answered Brennan’s questions with a report of his own. Troiano attended the freehold-ers’ March 10 meeting because of the previous comments; when the time came for public comment, the subject of Code Blue arose.

Testimonies from individuals ranged from being an ad-vocate for the homeless to those who claimed to be from Wildwood, living in homeless conditions.

“They are not from Wildwood,” Troiano declared. He explained the city’s position as not being “mean-spirited. The city will not tolerate people living in substandard housing,” Troiano said.

Troiano said that the city has taken a stand of helping people to the locations they came from originally. The mayor does not want to see people taken advantage of because of their financial or health- related issues.

Homelessness in Wildwood arises from a variety of rea-sons: some were sent from larger metropolitan areas, some come of their own free will, and others come seeking work.

According to Brannan, Wildwood is a resort location. “We are only open four months a year,” he said. Yet the commissioners and Troiano emphasized the point that there are no tent cities under the boardwalk. Troiano also made mention of various social programs and assistance that the city offers to its residents.

“Wildwood does take care of its own,” Brennan replied. “People in California can read the Herald (online) – we need a press release.”

After the meeting, Troiano told the Herald that he believes those who wish to help the homeless have good intentions, but the city maintains its stance on the matter.

The city issued a release on the subject March 13:According to the mayor, during a March 10 freeholders

No Tent Cities(From Page A1) meeting, several individuals told county officials they were

homeless and from Wildwood. “These people are not homeless in Wildwood. These

people were homeless and either wandered into the city or were sent in here by other organizations,” said the mayor.

Troiano asked Police Chief Robert Regalbuto to search under the Boardwalk for a tent city or homeless people setting up housekeeping. Regalbuto reported none were found.

“This is not to say that someone got shipped here on a bus and had nowhere to go so they spent the night under the Boardwalk,” Troiano said. “No one is living regularly under the Boardwalk. There are no tents pitched in Wildwood.”

The mayor said a larger problem is the number of people living in substandard housing which may lead to the ap-pearance of being homeless.

Renters living in housing with minimal or non-function-al heating, plumbing and electrical systems or other unsafe conditions are urged to contact City Hall at 609-522-2444. City inspectors will be dispatched to the property to ensure the property is up to code.

Other MattersOther matters included an extension “to execute a

contract for Beach Bar until March 26,” to construction on Park Blvd. In the engineer’s report, 1,800 feet of bad pipeline runs beneath Park Boulevard “Our story is the right one,” both the engineer and Troiano agreed.

The city engineer met with a representative of South Jersey Gas to discuss the issue and reconstruction of the road has already begun. The representative of South Jersey Gas will return later to present his plan. “The bottom line is that we have a volatile problem,” Troiano explained. A 10-inch swath will be cut down the middle of Park and reconstruction will proceed from there. “We aren’t happy about it either,” Troiano said, but stressed the importance of the project for everyone’s safety.

Safety RewardA moment of levity came in the form of an announce-

ment: the Atlantic County Municipal Joint Insurance Fund has awarded $1,750 to Wildwood “as a result of your

Unlicensed Transport a la Uber

Council discussed the re-quest by the police depart-ment to enact an ordinance that would better monitor and regulate hired trans-port that is ordered via cell phone, like Uber and others providing similar service.

Presently, many people are using this type of service to come into Sea isle City and then expect that they can return off the island via the same mode of transport, explained Council Chair John Divney.

Per the police, these

unlicensed transportation providers sit outside bars waiting for customers, usu-ally in no-parking areas, and are aggressive in attracting riders. When ticketed for violations, these drivers pay the $200 fine and resume their business.

Current license-holding taxis and jitneys follow the rules, and pay the proper taxes and licensing fees. Divney continued, “These Uber-type providers are popular and convenient and it’s almost impossible to travel from Sea Isle City to Atlantic City, for example, without them so we don’t

want to deny people this option.”

It was decided to have a proposed ordinance drafted for consideration and put on the agenda for an upcoming council meeting.

Proposed Verizon Tow-er on Dealy Field

There was long discus-sion that may portend up-coming controversy regard-ing council’s decision to approve a prior planning meeting decision to allow Verizon to erect a commu-nications tower on Dealy Field. The field is used for many children’s activities and recreation.

According to Divney, “Verizon has told us they cannot provide the level of service we expect, particu-larly during the busy sum-mer season and particularly regarding data connections, not just for cell phone use. They requested that exact site as being where this tower needs to go.”

Lengthy public comment opposed the tower centered around several main nega-tives in residents’ views. Among those were the impact per their Internet research regarding health issues such as heightened

risk of cancer and thyroid problems as well as impact or frequency waves espe-cially on children.

Another concern cen-tered around environmen-tal impact as well as on bird migrations and overflights. “Although all necessary permits are in place, I am ashamed I voted for this project,” said Councilman Frank Edwardi. “I want to re-do our examination of the terms and conditions surrounding the tower con-struction and our vote to proceed.”

Agreeing with the need to provide more informa-tion on the tower despite prior open hearings on the matter, Divney said, “Let’s get a team of experts here as soon as possible who can answer all these questions and those from the public with objections can bring their studies and opinions and we will have another discussion so we don’t ar-gue but work together.”

Two Actions Related to the Environment

Council discussed two actions to protect the envi-ronment. The first was in line with the resolutions of the state and many other municipalities to oppose off-shore drilling along the New Jersey’s 126 miles of shore line.

Council passed a resolu-tion to oppose renewable energy credits for landfills that need new scrubbers to convert from gas to electric and would fund remedial work. “This proposal from the N.J. Assembly rewards those municipalities who did not take appropriate corrective action and are non-compliant with envi-ronmental standards. Sea Isle City has done every-thing right and we should not support giving money to commercial enterprises for this type of remedial work,” said Divney.

school system rather than have them in classes with as few as three children per class. Ocean City schools are excellent with highly qualified teachers, a terrific program especially for math and science, and great after school programs and sports teams, I checked this out myself, so it seemed like the right move for our children,” he continued.

For example, when Tumolo visited Ocean City High School he went into the computer lab and asked why students were learning on Macs when most businesses use PCs. He learned that the school has two computer labs, one for Macs and one for PCs, “So the students get the best of both worlds, this is something we could never afford in Sea Isle City,” remarked Tumolo.

The city’s transfer initiative took place over a couple of school years with students in grades five through eight making the transfer first in school year 2012–2013 and then those in K-4 this current school year.

“We only sent just seven – nine students in the begin-ning so it was a bit difficult to blend in but eventually the social skills and interaction with such a diverse group as in Ocean City was a huge advantage for our children,” explained Tumelo.

In analyzing the benefits to taxpayers, preliminary numbers show that a previous tax bill of $584 based on the average home assessed ratable value of $716,000 is now about $274 annually. The school board also has been

able to reduce its yearly school budget of about $4 million by nearly half with the remaining couple of million dollars going to pay the tuition of city students to Ocean City.

“Previously we were paying about $35,000 per student per year on average to have them in our schools here in Sea Isle with special needs students costing a bit more. Now in Ocean City we are paying about $15,000-16,000 a year and they are getting a much more enriched education. We also have been able to give the former school building back to the city for a new purpose,” noted Tumolo.

In two years’ time it seems that the local initiative al-ready has paid off and that two important interest groups, the students and taxpayers have both reaped the rewards. Mayor Leonard Desiderio is known to be “thrilled” about what has taken place for the city’s school children; his daughter, a junior, attends Ocean City High School as well.

This story idea was suggested by a Spout Off: Sea Isle City - Following years of doomsday letters/

opinions stating it would be the end of Sea Isle City if their elementary school was closed, the opposite outcome seems to have come true. The mayor says the city is doing well and lots of tax money was saved by closing the school and sending the children to Ocean City; an added plus was the city received the school property. A follow-up story on the impact of closing the school in Sea Isle City would be informative for other towns.

Simonsen Pitches: Fund 4 Cops from MUABy JIM McCARTY

VILLAS – During the usually routine “Coun-cil Comments” section of the Lower Township Council meeting March 16, Councilman Erik Si-monsen (R-D3) ruminated on ways that the proposed budget tax increase could be reduced; shared services had been discussed as one possible solution minutes before.

Simonsen then turned to Administrator James Ridgway and asked, “How much would it cost if the MUA paid for the four new police officers?” Clearly prepared for the ques-tion, Ridgway answered $205,000. Simonsen then stated that since the MUA was now “stabilized,” the MUA could “help us get the tax rate down” by drawing from the MUA surplus to fund those officers.

He added that this could reduce the tax increase to the level below 2-percent increase cap that is re-quired by law, if they are willing.

Soon a f ter, LTMUA Chairman Brian O’Conner addressed council, and stated, “If you want to ask us (LTMUA) for anything, put it in a resolution and send it to us.”

After some comments from residents about using MUA “ratepayers’” money to lower township “tax payers’” rates, Mayor Mi-chael Beck interrupted to ask Simonsen if he would put forth a resolution to that effect next week. Si-monsen replied “yes, we will.” Beck stated that he opposed the idea, but went no further, saying the mat-ter will be debated at the next meeting.

After the meeting, Si-monsen explained that the township was permitted by state law to request up to 5 percent of the MUA surplus to supplement the munici-pal budget. He added that the $205,000 for officers would fall well below the 5-percent cap on the use of the MUA surplus.

The Herald asked if there had been any discussions or agreements between himself and the MUA prior to the evening’s events; Simonsen responded that there was no agreement, but that an offer had been made at the last bond coun-sel meeting by the MUA.

When asked, Simonsen said the $205,000 would cover all of the officers’ expenses including salary, training and benefits.

Agreement with Crest Firefighters

S imonsen a l so an -nounced that he, Ridgway and the Borough of Wild-wood Crest reached an agreement that they hope will improve public safety as well as provide some fire insurance relief to Dia-mond Beach residents.

The agreement that in-volves the Fire District 3, designates the Wildwood Crest Fire Department as “first responders” to alarms that originate at Diamond Beach. The Wildwood Crest Fire Department will respond immediately to all calls, until Lower Township fire equipment and personnel arrive to take over responsibility.

Pr ior to the agree-ment, that portion of the township suffered longer response times for fire services because of the single-access route to that area that is complicated by weight limits on Ocean Drive bridges that Lower fire apparatus would nor-mally use to gain access.

Beck and Deputy Mayor Norris Clark commended Simonsen and Ridgway, and Fire District 3 for their work. The total cost of the agreement is $75,000 although the fire district will absorb $65,000 of that amount, leaving township residents with a $10,000 cost for the shared service agreement.

Bay Communities to Meet with FEMA

Clark announced that the ongoing issue of FEMA maps and the lack of fund-ing to the Delaware Bay beaches for storm protec-tion continues to be a high priority. He stated that the township has reached out to Sen. Jeff Van Drew (D-1st) for assistance.

The township position is that all bay communi-ties must unite to confront FEMA and other agencies which reneged on early promises of Sandy-related aid, while creating “V-zones” that some believe are unrealistic and place a disproportionate financial burden on individuals and municipalities that cannot obtain government aid under current rules.

Van Drew has responded by scheduling a special

meeting for all commu-nities, including Middle Township and parts of Cumberland County, to be held March 19 at the Den-nis Township Municipal Building, 571 Petersburg Road, Dennisville at 3 p.m.

U.S. Rep. Frank LoBi-ondo (R-2nd) is expected to attend to ensure that all issues are presented to FEMA, DEP and other agencies.

Lou Ginsberg of the Knights of Columbus Coun-cil No. 3546 appeared to request that residents come out to the 3rd annual “Rock for Kids Festival” to be held June 13 at the Cape May County airport on Breakwater Road at 12 p.m.

freeholder meeting.Ironically, word reached Brocco-Collia as she attended a

training session on the use of Narcan, a drug that combats opiate overdoses. While most of those attending the train-ing session were anxious family members of individuals addicted to opiates, the homeless were represented as well. Like McCart, many of the homeless have multiple problems and addiction can be one of them.

McCart’s attendance at the March 10 Freeholder meet-ing was not the first time he was publicly associated with the homeless problem. In February, his photograph, cross-ing that same highway in the snow, was the lead-in for a Herald story on a freeholder meeting in which advocates for the homeless pushed for more help.

By the March meeting, Freeholder Kristine Gabor, who oversees county Health and Human Services, welcomed the dialogue. A contingent of staff from Social Services attended the meeting. Sara Maloney, acting deputy direc-tor of the department, said that she and her staff came to the meeting to “let people know we are there and want to help.”

The homeless who went to the meeting were given the opportunity, after adjournment, to meet with the Social Services staff. According to Brocco-Collia and Jason Rempo, also a member of the homeless task force, McCart participated in those discussions and he said he was told that if he went to Social Services in the morning

he would get a voucher for a place to stay. Maloney cannot comment on the specifics of any case,

but that no one from Social Services would make such a blanket statement.

“We would have urged him to come in and apply for assistance,” she said. Maloney went on to explain that the majority of funds available for such assistance come from the state and that “specific programs carry with them specific requirements.” Funding for assistance often entails a “need for documentation.”

Brocco-Collia had told freeholders that she had paid for two rooms for the night at a motel with her own money, something she does often, and she gave one of those keys to McCart.

The next morning, as directed, McCart showed up at Social Services. Brocco-Collia was to be on the speak-erphone in case McCart did not understand questions put to him. This practice, one normally allowed for an advocate who understands she can only speak under specific circumstances, was an initial source of dispute. It was resolved and Brocco-Collia remained on the line.

McCart was not given the voucher he expected, based on his understanding of the discussions the prior night. Maloney points out that no promises could pos-sibly have been made to him at the freeholder meeting since program specifics would need to be analyzed with respect to his case.

Whether or not McCart misunderstood an invitation to come in and discuss assistance as an offer of a voucher is something that will never be known for certain.

What is known is that McCart, at the Social Services meeting the next morning, was told to go and collect receipts from all the places he has stayed for as far back as he could go. He would potentially get a voucher when he returned with those receipts. The night of that day, with no voucher for a room, McCart was hit by the car crossing Route 47 and sustained injuries that proved fatal.

Many things converged on that moment when the

car hit McCart. Brocco-Collia was told by other homeless individuals

that McCart had been drinking and that he “put his head down and wheeled as fast as he could across the busy street.” The fact that the accident occurred immediately following a public plea for greater assistance to the home-less has painted a more visible picture of the problem.

Figures from the Homeless Point-In-Time Survey done in 2014, produce estimates that place the number of homeless in the county at a little over 300. These are not all individuals. At least 36 families with children were identified.

In a county with pockets of deep poverty and serious problems of drug abuse, the homeless represent one of

like the bad guys?” he asked.

Perhaps the death of McCart, a death Maloney called “tragic,” can move the dialogue close to find-ing better response to a problem that does not ap-pear to be going away any time soon.

many demands on social service resources.

Advocates for the home-less said at the freeholders meeting the “system is broken.”

Freehold Director Gerald Thornton disagreed but admitted that the “system is challenged.”

Wildwood Mayor Ernie Troiano (see related story elsewhere in this edition) showed zero tolerance for the homeless in Wildwood living in substandard hous-ing. Troiano directs police to move them out of the city. Troiano talked of the many problems of poverty Wildwood must deal with and of the total lack of jobs in the off-season. “Does this practice make us look

projected expenses were related to projects con-cerned with the removal of stone from the Inlet Drive beach and working with the Army Corps of Engineers on the use of access roads for dredging the Intracoastal Waterway.

Armacost ParkSeveral residents used

the public comment period to urge council to forgo the next phase of the Health Forest Initiative which involves planting new trees in park areas which recent-ly saw extensive removal of ivy and underbrush in phase one.

Martha Wright cited ex-perts she had contacted concerning the value of understory, the brush and thickets which were cut away in pilot areas of the park. She said Elizabeth Smith, vice president of the Tropical Audubon Society and an Avalon summer resident, confirmed “that understory is critical to bird habitat, nesting, safety and survival.” Wright urged the council to “stop now before you do more harm.”

Wright also opposed the planting of seedlings in the park during the planned April time frame. She ar-gued that the young trees

would do much better if planted in the fall and that disruption to the bird habi-tat would be less when the birds had departed for the winter. “If you must plant seedlings, do it in the fall,” she said.

Frank McLaughlin, who was bitterly opposed to phase one, also urged that council stop now. McLaughlin proposed that the part of the park that is off limits to humans should be renamed in such a way as to make clear that it is a bird refuge. “The part of the park that is for people with the playground for kids is great. My kids were raised there,” he said. “The rest of the park is a refuge and people need to be kept out.”

Elaine Scattergood, who has frequently spoken out against the project, added support to the effort to de-rail phase two as planned. Newcomers to the public discussion, Sallie Davis along with Mary Broad-hurst also showed support for the refuge concept and for Wright’s proposals re-garding the April planting.

C o u n c i l P r e s i d e n t Charles Covington re-sponded to the public comment by underscoring council’s commitment to an ecologically healthy park.

Covington said he had paid a visit to the park to see the phase one work for himself. He also said that he liked the idea of calling part of the park a refuge. His response in no way altered the plan to proceed with phase two in April.

With Pastor RudyLight

Speaking in the

The View From the Other SideYears ago, while serv-

ing as a Youth Pastor in a church in Dayton, Ohio, my Senior Pastor Pete Schwalm gave me a great gift that I don’t think I would have ever grasped in the tradi-tional classroom setting. He would, every now and then, take the entire Pastoral Staff of Fairhaven Church to the local movie theater to observe films that he dis-cerned paralleled what we did as ministers in ministry.

One of the presentations that we attended together was a story called ‘The Doctor” starring William Hurt. In the picture, Hurt plays a successful physician who is suddenly diagnosed with cancer and must ex-perience treatment from the position of the patient! Needless to say, he quickly discovered that being on the other side of the clip-board was not the spot of strength.

As the one who was now ill, he had to endure the all business-like approach and non-personal treatment of so many of the medical pro-fessionals. When you are sick beyond your control, you become very vulner-able. And more than just the proper medications, you actually need the time and the touches from those you want to believe really care about you. But with no eye contact and the lack of any courtesy to even listen to you, you end up feeling like nothing more than just another insurance number and a burden that must be tolerated rather than a real live human being that needs to know that in the

hour of need, they matter!Seeing that movie all

those years ago still has an effect on how I pastor my flock. I never want to feel like people are imposing upon me but that I consider it an honor and privilege to be able to walk with them in this ferocious valley of life. And I always try to correct and cut off others when they say, “I know you are busy Pastor.” I interject, “Never too busy for you.”

Jesus had a way of lov-ing the lepers and treating children like royalty. I wish believers would do more than ask, “What would Jesus do?” I pray that we would do what Jesus did!

Let’s face facts – the hardest time to trust God is when you absolutely have no power or control to fix or change the circumstances and situations that you find yourself in. When you must wait on the Lord and be still in His presence and humbly accept His timing and His tactics to remedy and redeem our lives is enough to push any of us to our limits!

I found myself in the hos-pital over the last several days because I could not tame the virus or curb the infection wreaking havoc in my body. This has been such a hard time for me be-cause I have been assigned a position where I must be put flat on my back. I don’t sit still and I am stubborn when it comes to following directions.

There are two things I want to share from my journey. First: I have such a hard time with those fluffy and plastic “Positive Thinker Preachers” or the ones who spout from their pulpits that God always wants us healthy and happy and prosperous! Baloney! No amount of my ability to write down lofty goals and think happy thoughts is going to take away my inflictions and change my lot in life today. It is not up to the amount of faith that I have because I know God needs to only say the word and I could and would be healed.

It cracks me up that some believers are doubting their faith at this moment and they are mad at their God today because their Lexus didn’t start or their first-class seats on their last flight were cancelled. But we must come to God in our genuine brokenness and in all of our glorious helplessness and admit to Him our utter inability to change a thing. Life being lousy has not a thing to do with the fact that “God Loves You” and will make a masterpiece in the midst of the misery!

Second, I want to say thank you to several nurses and doctors who treated me with genuine respect and raw compassion just when I needed it most! My nurses Gail and Cindy made me feel like I mat-tered and they looked out for me and helped me do what I needed to do even though they both knew I

didn’t want to be there or do it! My Infectious Disease Physician Dr. Eric Hansen is the absolute best and of-fered his ear and his heart and not just his excellence and knowledge.

There are times that people aren’t impressed so much with your education and degrees as much as they cling to your ability to sympathize, commune, communicate and be mer-ciful and kind. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me more than the 10 necessary min-utes that satisfies your duty to me! You didn’t look to get out but rather, you dove in to my swirling sea where I was doing more sinking than swimming!

If you are a doctor, teach-er, pastor, nurse, in law enforcement, a salesperson or you do your work with human beings in any capac-ity, you need more than just the proper know-how! I am begging you to put yourself in the shoes or even the “Hospital Socks” of the other individual. Answers are needed but attention is a must! We must never for-get that no matter what side of the crisis we discover ourselves on.

So as I write this from my painful posture, I still look up and know that God is not finished with me yet and this bruised reed He will not break, nor this smoldering wick will He snuff out.

I anticipate that soon I will once again be able to jump and shout and sing and smile – even if it is not today. I pray my words will comfort someone who has been told a pack of lies that they are the cause of their chaos when nothing could be further from reality! Love has been and always will be the answer. The greatest gift we can ever give another is the promise made and kept: “I will be there!”

PATCHWORK APPROACH“Corneal abrasion,” which is scratching of the

clear outer layer at the front of the eye, is one of the most common kinds of eye injuries. Corneal abrasions are quick to heal, but they are painful. The traditional treatment for this injury involves wearing an eye patch. However, there is research that suggests that the initial use of an eye patch actually slows healing and does not reduce pain. Moreover, researchers conclude that since corneal abrasions do not affect vision to a great extent, it is rather pointless to render patients with scratched corneas “monocular” (one-eyed). Foregoing the use of an eye patch may actually help corneal abrasions

March 18 2015 www.CapeMayCountyHerald.com A11religionFinding Mysticism in the Hagadah

By RABBI JEFFREY LIPSCHULTZ

I find it hard to believe that Purim is past us and as we celebrate the great joy of the month of Adar we start to slowly prepare for the holiday of Passover, which is less than a month away. It makes me think of the Passover hagadah and the mystical elements within the Passover seder.

Passover is a fascinating holiday where we Jews are asked to imagine our lives as the slaves that left Egypt as we sit at our seder table and retell the story of Passover. The mystical elements of Passover are intense during the prepa-ration with the removal of Chameits, the cleansing ceremony for the last of the breadcrumbs removed with a feather, and the burning of the Chameits. What I find most interesting is the mystical elements of the seder and how it asks us to transform our psyche to put our souls in the bodies of our ancestors who stood before the whip of bondage and were released from suf-fering by the outstretched arm of God.

Matzah is unleavened bread produced by mixing flour and water, but fer-mentation is prevented by immediate baking. Matzah is what it appears to be

– the essence. It is unin-flated. It may not be as soft and as tasty as Chameits but it doesn’t need those facades to be what it is. It represents be-ing. It represents being just you, just who you are – with your ego, but an uninflated ego. For after all, the ego is not bad, as it is a necessary part of the inter-face between the physical world and the spiritual world.

Matzah is referred to as both the Bread of Freedom and the Bread of Poverty. What does poverty have to do with freedom? The Kab-balists explain that a poor person is often alone and with nothing. However, in one sense, this snapshot of poverty contains a certain glimpse of freedom: if he has nothing, then he has no attachments holding him down.

Similarly, the Sages teach, “To accumulate pos-sessions is to accumulate worries.” Taking this to another level, the deepest freedom a person can attain is within oneself and one’s own spiritual struggle and thus freedom from one’s instincts, inclinations, na-tures, and nurtures helps enable him or her to be truly capable of making a free choice.

The hagadah is fascinat-ing because even though it’s the story of Moses leav-ing Egypt the name Moses is never mentioned once in the whole Hagadah. Where is Moshe Rabbenu [Moses our teacher]? Moshe is not even mentioned once. How can we have a recounting of the Exodus and ignore the central character? What point is the Haggadah try-ing to make? The most common interpretation suggests that the Haggadah wants to teach us that the credit for redemption from Egypt — and by implica-tion, from the oppression that besets us today — be-longs exclusively to God.

I actually prefer the more mystical explanation of why he is left out, which is that Moses actually com-

posed the hagadah we use today. The recitation of the hagadah is the fulfillment of the biblical requirement stating, “And you shall tell

your son on that day, saying, ‘Be-cause of this, the Lord did [this] for me when I went out of Egypt.’” However, on the very first Passover after the Jews left Egypt there was no need to recount to the

children the story of the Exodus because all the children had lived through the miraculous redemption just one year earlier, and they certainly remembered the entire event with all its details.

The only one who had to observe this mitzvah was Moses himself. After all, his two sons were in Midian, together with their mother, while all the Jews were witnessing the great miracles and the plagues, which G-d visited upon the Egyptians. They arrived at the Sinai Desert shortly before the giving of the Torah, and were certainly entranced by the first-hand account of the story, which Moses related to them on that first Passover in the desert. Since Moses himself, the humblest of all men, composed the Hag-gadah that year, he omitted all references to his great role. So every Passover we place our minds in the body of Moses telling the story to his children.

The hagadah asks us to look mystically out of ourselves as we explore the four sons: one wise, one wicked, one simple, and one who can’t under-stand. Each child reflects an aspect of our mystical development as Jews and we try to see how each child is us, and thus our spiritual connection leads to the same place, standing at Sinai receiving our tradi-tion as a unified people, all aspects of us good and bad, simple and wise.

So in understanding the mysticism of the Passover story we are told to place our minds and our souls

within the realm of the great teacher Moses and enter into this world. We are to transform both physi-cally and spiritually as we sit down at our seder table to experience true freedom and retell the story each and every year until the final redemption of the messianic age arrives and we return to Jerusalem, rebuilt and in complete peace.

Unit undertook a critical role in Operation White-house led by the County Prosecutors Office in part-nership with federal agen-cies to target heroin dealers in the region. That action resulted in a “significant amount” of heroin being seized from local streets.

Officers were trained in the use of Narcan to aid individuals who had over-dosed with heroin. As a result, four individuals were revived during the year.

Overall, the violent crime rate was reduced by 25 per-cent, 46 offenses in 2014 compared 62 in 2013.

However, non-violent crime increased slightly, 5 percent, to 631 offenses in the year compared to 598 in the prior year. The report noted, “We view this as a positive, because it is basi-cally flat after a significant decrease of 30 percent in non-violent crime in 2013. We launched our DDACTS initiative Jan. 1, 2013 and saw a 25 percent reduction in Part 1 offenses and a 2.6

percent decrease in crashes in the DDACT Zone. In 2014 we saw an 18 percent increase from 2013, but still below the pre-DDACTS year of 2012 that we used a baseline to measure our effectiveness.”

Handling calls into the department are nine full-time telecommunication operators, two assigned to each of the four patrol squads. In 2014, they han-dled 41,404 calls for service and 11,788 911 calls. The number of calls was down from the prior year when there were 41,509 calls for service and 12,323 911 calls.

On average there were 32.2 911 calls daily in 2014 and 33.8 in 2013.

Under “Internal affairs,” the report lists one em-ployee suspended for eight days for failure to perform duties. In 2014 there were 36 Internal Affairs inves-tigations conducted; and there were 33 cases that reached conclusion.

While the department does not maintain its own

SWAT team, there are four members from the depart-ment on the Regional SWAT Team. Through the year, they were called on 21 as-signments for the Mainland division, while there were a total 47 calls for the county team.

For underwater details, the department has a fully operational, certified ma-rine search and recovery dive team.

The department main-tains two vessels: one a Carolina Skiff center con-sole boat, the other is an aluminum johnboat ves-sel. The team has seven certified divers with a full complement of equipment. It had 14 training sessions in 2014.

For hostage situations, the department has four officers assigned to the County Hostage Negotiation Team. They are available to respond to any incident within Middle Township or anywhere within the county to assist. The team trains on a regular basis and is often called out in conjunction with the SWAT team.

Looking into the Fu-ture

One of the department’s goals deemed “most impor-tant” for 2015 is to upgrade the radio system.

A new radio system was built in December 2004 that never worked properly. In the spring of 2010, a number of improvements were made that did not solve the problems. A num-ber of parts for the system

are no longer supported and recent repairs required parts to be purchased from second hand dealers through E-Bay.

Two possible solutions were researched: 1. DMR (Digital Mobile Radio) Si-mulcast System through Hytera 2. Joining the state-wide 700 MHz radio sys-tem.

The department is test-ing use of body cameras by officers in the field. It is important to note that body cameras will not provide all the answers in an investiga-tion and is not a substitute for a thorough and com-plete investigation. “They may be a useful tool at the end of the day and most likely will, but it is impor-tant that the public, press and community activists understand limitations,” the report states.

Increase Class II special officers to seven from five. Those two additional Class II officers will increase po-lice presence in the DDACT Zone of Rio Grande and on Route 47 in the targeted enforcement areas between milepost 5 and 8 and 12 and 16.

A small number of of-ficers began carrying Tasers while on patrol in 2014. The department plans to expand that number in 2015 to a total of 12 of-ficers, three patrol officers per shift. The department proposed an increase in its budget request for 2015 to accommodate the $30 each cost of cartridges needed for training.

Lower Cape Community Celebrates SJ Basketball TitleWhat happened in Wil-

liamstown March 12 did nothing to dampen the outstanding achievement of the 2014-2105 Caper-Tiger girls’ basketball team. A loss to perhaps the state’s most outstanding individ-ual player and a team that is the defending Garden State Group II champion does nothing to erase the magical ride of a 28-3, first-in-school-history South Jersey Championship for Lower Cape May.

There were some tears after the 77-43 loss in the state semi-final, but what matters most is how the community came together on that sun-splashed after-noon to line the campus exit as the team bus headed north for the match-up with 2014 Tournament of Champions runner-up Manasquan.

Peers, parents, teachers and staff joined in the fes-tive send-off as cell phone cameras clicked, arms waved in jubilation, and loud cheers filled the air over Erma. Caper-Tiger spring sports teams pre-paring for their upcoming season joined in the show of support for their class-mates.

“I think, team wise, what it meant to us when we had the fire trucks and police cars, and all of the students, teachers, parents and community members lining the path out of the high school is just indescribable,” said Caper coach Scott Doug-lass. “That’s what’s cool about high school sports, moments like that.”

On March 10, Lower made history with its thrill-ing 58-55 overtime victory over Sterling for the South Jersey Group II title. “The

best memory I’ll ever have is that night,” said Doug-lass. “Unless you’ve been there, you can’t describe what that is like. The com-munity and the school com-ing together, and winning that game.”

Douglass pointed to the team’s trip to Disney World as an important bonding time for the athletes, espe-cially away from the court.

“That really helped,” he said. “It brought them together with free time to just hang out and be with each other. We have girls who play different sports and that trip to Florida really helped them come together as a team. That time together was huge.”

Douglas enjoyed a vet-eran team with six seniors, including Lauren Holden, Madie Gibson, Rian Young, Ariel Magee, Lizzy Sulecki and Carrie Wunder.

“There were some tears because it was the seniors’ last game and they’ve been playing together since the sixth grade,” said Douglass. “We didn’t play like we wanted to play, but to win that game we would have had to really play incredibly well. Manasquan hit their shots and had some size on us.”

Holden, an outstanding talent headed to Fordham University, poured in 35 points in the South Jersey Championship game in-cluding the last 18 Lower scored. She became the first Caper-Tiger to eclipse

2 ,000 career points . Throughout the season she was the ultimate “go-to” player, but she was never selfish. She made team play her focus by constantly looking for teammates and making excellent passes.

“She’s a very special player, special is the word,” said Douglass. “It’s hard to describe what she’s meant to the program. She’ll obvi-ously be very difficult to replace. We’re losing six quality people in our senior class.”

Douglass was grateful to those upperclassmen for “keeping the chemistry together” and how they

“played for each other.” He said he will always remem-ber “the fun times,” such as the trip to Disney and the March 12th send-off.

“The support from the parents, the school, the administration, and the community was so great,” he said. “This last week has been unbelievable for my team.”

The coach said he would have “hugged you” if you told him in November that the squad would finish 28-3 with a South Jersey crown.

“It’s very rewarding to practice so hard all year to reach the goals you want,” said Douglass. “You watch these girls grow and play in big games and you see things from them that you’ve never seen. They step up. That night was a hard one against a tremen-dous team, but we had a great season.”

FishingBY MARK ROBBINS Line

It is with sad news that I start this column. I re-cently received notice of the pass-ing of a member of our local fish-ing community. Charles G. Hack-ett III, the son, first mate, and irreplace-able member of the Sea Star III crew passed away March 5.

Even though I am new to this column, I know his fa-ther contributes a lot of ma-terial concerning the local fishing scene. I have fished with his father, Captain Chuck, a number of times. My son caught his first keeper striper on a fall trip six years ago, and I know he goes out of his way to make his patrons feel wel-come. He did everything he could to make a small boy feel important, and not like a young kid who some captains would be worried about not behaving, or complaining about being cold and wanting to go in.

I told Chuck when we got on the boat that my son was there to fish and he shouldn’t worry. He knew how to handle him-self. He said “OK,” and all went well. I wanted to do what I could to honor his son’s memory. Please keep Captain Chuck and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

Out and about: I got some information from

Captain Ray of the Tide Runner Fly and Light Tackle Cha r t e r s f r om Cape May (www.flyfishingcapemay.com). For those interested in a lo-cal Fly fishing club, you may want to

check out the South Jersey Coastal Fly Anglers. This is a salt and freshwater fly club that meets the third Thursday of each month at the Bay Center in Ocean City. They are the only saltwater club in the South Jersey area. They are a teaching club rather than a competitive club. Anyone looking to learn about fly-fishing is welcome and they teach people how to do it, and all that is involved. Their web site is www.southjer-seycoastalflyanglers.com.

For those want ing to take a boating safety course, or for any aspiring young boat operators. A one day class on boating safety will be offered on the following Saturdays: March 28, April 18, May 23, June 20, July 18, Aug. 22, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in Price Hall at Acad-emy and Seashore Roads in Cold Spring. Cost is $45. Students will receive a N.J. Safe Boating Cer-tificate, required by law for anyone age 16 or older who intends to operate a vessel 12 feet and over, or

Charles G. Hackett III, first mate, Sea Star III

a personal watercraft. 13 year olds may also take the class, but will not receive a certificate until age 16. Instructors are qualified personnel of the USCG AUX. To schedule a class, call 889-7160 or email [email protected].

I had heard of an ap-proaching show, then got word from a reader about the same show. Thank you for the confirmation. The Cape May Fishing Flea Market is scheduled for April 12 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Cape May Elementary School. The show features many tables with deals on new, used and antique items, for fresh and saltwater fishing. Two free seminars are being offered. One at 10 a.m. covers rigging and jigging for flounder, and the 11

a.m. session examines mid-range tuna. Food and beverages will be provided and door prizes will be given away each hour.

Also, coming up is the Wildwood Beach N Boat Fishing Challenge. If in-terested keep June 19 – 21 available. I’ll get more information soon and let you know.

Finally, there will be a workshop at the Wet-lands Institute in Stone Harbor May 29 – 31. The ecological connections be-tween horseshoe crabs and shorebirds and the connec-tions between humans and horseshoe crabs will be examined. The challenges that arise in managing these resources will be looked at through presen-tations, field trips, and various activities. As the

Construction Progress PhotosBy GEORGE CAPUA

In a Jan. 22, 2014 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 or 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.”

This photo was taken March 13 at 7:36 a.m. It shows the Garden State Parkway construction at Exit 10, Stone Harbor Blvd., facing north.

PLEASE NOTE: An Editor's Note for a Spout-Off will appear as blue italic (slanted) type below it.

Erma - Fulling Mill, Bayshore and Seashore roads are all county roads, as are Fishing Creek and Townbank roads. The worst roads with the biggest potholes are all on county roads. How many spouts have we seen com-plaining about Lower Twp. not salting WCM canal bridge? It is not WCM's bridge or Low-er's, it is the county's. You need to call the freeholders and ask them if they have plans to repair these roads and take care of them.

Lower Township - I am tired of small busi-ness owners complaining about their taxes. I have worked for publicly-held corporations and small businesses. I know firsthand how much some small business owners take advan-tage of the tax laws. They have children on the payroll that do not actually work, insure family vehicles, pay for the vehicles' gas, have children on the business' healthcare, etc. It is my experience that much more corruption exists in small business than in corporations.

Wildwood - We, students are wondering how the spout criticizing our teachers passed the Herald submission rules, which monitor if a post is fair, true and involves name calling. The spouter is passing along what he/she believes to be true, and makes no attempt to back up this claim.

If you have questions or concerns about specific spouts, please email [email protected] and we would be happy to re-spond.

Wildwood / West Wildwood - In Wild-wood, the taxpayers are paying the bills, and the high-price employees are taking their paychecks, along with their city cars, over the bridge to their homes off the island. That is a problem. When will these issues be ad-dressed?

North Wildwood / Philadelphia - The Wild-wood spouter touting that public sector jobs are not all that people think they are cracked up to be is correct. I myself was in union con-struction, and I am here to tell you I was high-priced labor. Having said that, there wasn't a whole lot of downtime at my prices. My wife went from the private sector after her com-pany was bought out, to the public sector in the same industry. Her compensation in the public sector was 30 percent less than in pri-vate industry. As for my trade, the wages at gov. shipyard facilities were 40 percent less.

Cape May - Council member Inderwies acted in a heroic manner and is to be commended for standing up for former Police Chief Shee-

han.

Cape May - LeSean McCoy is upset for being traded to the Buffalo Bills, but once he settles in and realizes that he has a better chance to get to the Super Bowl with the Bills than the Eagles, he'll be okay.

Cape May - To a Cape May spouter: Why would it strictly need to be a new college graduate to take this position of your so-called "police clerk?" Some patrolmen make just as much as the chief does, with overtime oppor-tunities, so abolishing the position really isn't saving anything.

Wildwood - The only pot being stirred is that Wildwood must pay almost $2 million a year for fire protection. Volunteers can and do provide adequate coverage nationwide for a small fraction of the expense. Someone will say "what about rescue?" That's even easier, contract it out.

Wildwood / Dennis Township - We spent a day in Wildwood recently and could not locate a public restroom. We were near the Convention Center where an event was being held. We were told by the security officer at the door if we wanted to use the restrooms, we would have to pay admission to the event. The outside restrooms were locked. We were finally able to go into a convenience store as we were leaving. What a shame.

Cape May Beach - The Erma spouter com-plaining about the twp. bike path not being plowed of snow has got to be kidding! Take a ride around the twp. It's March and there are still piles of leaves throughout Lower Twp.

Woodbine - I find it interesting how the town of Woodbine loves getting grants. I won-der why? The engineer has already received $40,000 and no progress has been made.

Cape May Beach - With the Cold War over, there was a perception that we could afford the entertainment luxury of the Clintons in high office; however, with the advent of Sept. 11 and currently the dark alleys the nation finds itself in, not knowing where the next knife attack is coming from, we need serious and tested leadership, and it is not the Clin-tons.

Lower Township - There are a lot of great spouts on here. Most involve local govern-ment, politicians and taxes. Unfortunately, most politicians don't read Spout Off. They don't want to be confronted by the rage felt

by most of their constituents. That's why it's important to attend council meetings. You can spout off to your elected officials face to face. They'll probably still ignore you, but you'll feel better. They re-ally don't care about anything we have to say until election time.

Avalon - I would like to thank the DPW in Avalon for doing an exceptional job of clearing the snow while doing their best not to plow in the drive-ways of the residents. The public services in this town are the best!

Stone Harbor / Avalon - I can't understand why many people are so opposed to merging services between Stone Harbor and Avalon. Don't these people realize that doing so will result in

thousands of saved tax dollars in their individual pockets every year? New Jersey is in severe financial distress and people are leaving the state by the droves as the result of our excessive taxes, thereby resulting in even less incoming revenue. Merg-ing services is going to be mandatory across the entire state in the future, and it's in the best interest of everyone.

Wildwood - A black police officer was killed in the line of duty in Philadelphia March 5 by one of two black suspects. Where are the black leaders and protesters when something like this happens in the black community?

Lower Township - Why do the taxpayers supply mulch and top soil for landscapers to make money? Can anyone in office answer this for us? Maybe our taxes would not have to go up if we were not making money for business. Hope someone will look into this. Middle Township - Residents of Cape May County need to stop blindly voting Republican. Freeholder elections are virtu-ally pointless. Every Republican that runs automatically wins. GOP politicians in this county don't have to worry about re-sults or accountability because they know the sheep will vote for them. The GOP doesn't care about the average working person, only the wealthy elite.

Wildwood Crest - I was wondering why little coverage is given in the media to a growing movement on college cam-puses in the U.S. to pressure college administrators to divest any tuition-paid funds from Israeli companies that set up shop in the West Bank populated lands? The reasoning appears to be that such lands are occupied territories which colleges should not support in any way.

Cold Spring - The spouter claiming to be a millennial says certain matters come under states' rights, but wasn't that the argument used in the past to justify separate facilities for the races, the poll taxes and literacy tests, until the federal courts stepped in, using our Consti-tution to throw out all those discriminatory laws?

Wildwood - The jobs report for February is out and it is at an outstanding 5.5 percent. That's down from half of what it was in early 2010. Way to go Obama! With numbers like these in the private sector, it becomes harder and harder to label you "the welfare presi-dent."

Cape May - I think the Cape May City Council has made a huge mistake by not appoint-ing Chief Sheehan to the posi-tion that he's been doing for the last year. This guy does a great job as Cape May's chief of police; he's well-respected by his co-workers and the community alike, and it's my understanding that the in-vestigation in question is not criminal and does not target Chief Sheehan. What's the problem? What happened to standing behind and support-ing your people?

Cape May - The judge who let the person who killed the Philadelphia police officer out on parole should be held accountable in the officer's death, as well as anyone else who knew he should be in prison. Disgraceful!

Lower Township - Why were the second shift em-ployees off March 5 with pay, when there was snow to re-move and plenty to do in the schools. As a taxpayer, this is a total waste of our money, giving these employees a paid day off that they won't make up, like the teachers will. This is an issue that needs to be addressed by all school su-perintendents.

Town Bank - The DRBA did an excellent job plowing the entrance/exit and Sandman Blvd. so early in the morn-ing March 6. Where were the Lower Township and Cape

May County plows? I know they were out the night before, but what about that morning? Roads were still bad.

North Wildwood / Philadelphia - Like or dislike the Clin-tons, stupid is one adjective I don't think anyone could use to describe them. I seriously doubt that if Hillary had anything earth shattering she sure wouldn't have put out an email into any domain.

Spout Off(From Page A15)

opinion

are ineffective because criminals get their guns illegally. What they're saying, without realizing it, is that laws to keep guns out of the hands of "bad guys" are not strong enough. What should we do about that? Suppose that we decided that laws against rape or arson, for example, were not doing the job. Would we just throw up our hands and say, "Let these crimes continue?" Of course not. We would advocate for stronger laws, and the same rationale applies to gun-control laws. The bloody carnage of gun violence in the U.S. demands it.

Stone Harbor - I support a new police station built next to the firehouse. Let's get it done quickly, not waste years, like the library.

West Wildwood - The spouters claiming that people only care about public waste during a down economy must be referenc-ing a small group. I and most of my colleagues have always been concerned with public waste and how our tax dollars our spent. As a matter of fact, I do believe our founding fathers were too.

Villas - I can't believe the amount of young men in the Villas area using snow blowers for their little properties. I'm in my mid-50s and I shovel snow all over the place and would never use a snow blower. This has turned into a nation of wimps.

They're wimps because they use snow blowers?

Court House - To the woman in a pet store March 5: How dare you watch your dog relieve itself at the register, walk over it and leave it for the cashier to clean up! If you can't take care of your dogs, you shouldn't be a pet owner!

Middle Township - Property owners here pay about $601 a year, or $1.64 a day, for police protection. What costs more than $1.64 a day? The average cup of coffee is $2. The aver-age homeowners' insurance policy costs $1.70 a day. Some say merge, like Camden did. You then are paying 82 cents a day for half the protection you had before. How about just leaving public safety alone, and maybe get rid of a bill to save money and stop aching all the time.

Cape May - Most news programs are reporting increasing criticism by Israeli media of the lavish lifestyle of Netanyahu and his wife at public expense, including dining at five star res-taurants in Europe, and using public employees as household servants at home. Was Boehner and his crowd aware of all this when he invited this politician to D.C.?

Palermo - I am disappointed with these Republicans. They were voted in with record numbers, yet they cower and capitu-late with the losers of power. They are expected to stop this administration's unconstitutional efforts by all lawful means! I don't care why they choose weakness! I'm going to drop them if they persist!

Lower Township - I enjoyed my snow day off without pay March 6. I went for breakfast and ran into a school teacher I know enjoying her day off. I went to the store and ran into a few people I know who were paid to be off at noon. The kicker was when I went out at 5 p.m., I ran into people who had off night shift at a school and were enjoying their free, paid night off at taxpayers' expense. It's not their fault for their bonus paid day off, but really, should taxpayers foot this cost? Roads were clear and driveable.

Town Bank - Obama's Justice Department announced that all the media "Hands Up Don't Shoot" protest reporting we wit-nessed during the year was proved a lie. Inasmuch as this was the mainstream, liberal media doing the reporting, can we ex-pect an apology for all the damage they have done? Moreover, this alone is reason enough not to trust their reporting on the presidential campaign next year, since you can be sure it will favor the Democratic candidate.

Villas - It appears that Senator Menendez (D-NJ) is being black-mailed; i.e., he is in disagreement with the Obama Adminis-tration on Cuba and Iran, which most Americans also are, so they smear him with leaks that he is going to be charged with corruption, a tactic so obvious that it is frightening the lengths Obama will go to, to smash those who disagree with him; i.e., using IRS, etc.

Wildwood - To a Wildwood spouter: What does the on-duty fire protection cost per household? What is the cost for fire taxes off shore? Explain the differences. Why do so few fires re-sult in property demolitions? Is response time important? How many fires are held to minimal damage because of personnel on shift. Can you answer? Why are there more volunteer person-nel off shore? Volunteers do provide a great deal of service in many places, including Wildwood. Go to the firehouse and seek answers if you are really interested in the truth. They would be happy to inform you.

Middle Township - What is it with the Middle Twp. Police? I pulled over to the safety of the shoulder of the road, at least two feet from the white line, to answer a cell phone call from a family member waiting for me to pick them up, and was forced to endure interrogation for half an hour, explaining why I'm out and where I'm going. I'm over 50 years of age, with a good driving record and I'm a non-drinker; you would think I could travel the roads without having to deal with undue pestering for doing the right thing. Why not go after the ones who are talking and texting while driving?

Erma - Somebody once said if you think you can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of you, just look at the American Indian.

Cape May - Obama is traveling to Selma to celebrate the 50th anniversary for civil rights. What he needs to do right now is apologize for his dismal display on the Ferguson incident. He, along with Holder, Sharpton, Jackson and other black leaders were so quick to find fault with the white officer and the police dept., when in fact it was Brown, a known felon, who attacked the officer. Fifty years, and not much has improved with race relations in our country.

Dennis Township - Where were the county plow trucks dur-ing the snowstorm March 5? Most of the county roads in Den-nis Twp. were a disaster. The plowing job done by our local

public works dept. was hit or miss. Some of our local roads were very well done and some were horrible. I guess it is the luck of the draw if you get a skilled plow operator with a de-sire to do their best, or one just riding around to collect their overtime paycheck.

Stone Harbor - When you read the Herald, you'll always see headlines from towns that are maintaining the taxes; no tax increases and savings that are being planned. In Stone Harbor, every headline is a new ordinance to increase bond purchases, increased taxes and new spending. We never hear about sav-ings. In fact, if you check the last couple of years' budgets, the only savings have come from shared services with Avalon. This council loves to spend money. We have a council whose lack of any leadership has created an unabated tax and spend strategy. $15 million in two years.

Goshen - Did people really expect for all the side roads to be cleared completely the morning after the last snowstorm? If you had to go out, all you had to do was drive a little slower and take your time. Middle Township did a pretty good job getting the main roads cleared.

Wildwood Crest - The Crest Police Department is being in-vestigated for wrongdoing, corruption, theft and falsifying re-cords. My question, as a taxpayer, is why not investigate all of our municipal departments?

Villas - I'm trying to understand why young Americans are volunteering to join terrorist groups. Maybe we ought to take a hard look at our own left, Democrat-dominated education sys-tem. It teaches them to hate America; i.e., UC Irvine in Califor-nia banning the American flag, schools teaching that America is responsible for the world's ills, etc. Who would want to de-fend such an evil nation as our young are being led to believe, not to mention betrayals such as army deserter Bergdahl?

North Wildwood - If you do the research, you will find that most private sector jobs do, in fact, pay considerably more than the same government job. The facts are that only the top jobs pay well and most government workers took the jobs for the security and healthcare. Police and emergency personnel are paid well, but they also have a high risk of injury or death. In this area, several emergency personnel have been killed while in the line of duty, and yes, they were paid well.

Avalon - Great job by the Avalon Public Works for clearing the roads in our borough March 5.

Wildwood - Silence from certain businessmen in town is deafening after the beach concert was moved to A.C., leaving residents and visitors to wonder if these same groups will now come out against the rowdy behavior and underage drinking of the senior week crowds?

Villas - If the roads in Lower Township get any worse, I might think I am driving around on the moon. Don't pick up my trash for a week and fix the roads; they are ridiculously dangerous to my vehicle and wallet.

Court House - The tone starts at the top! School superinten-dents' poor treatment of one or many staff members is trans-mitted to everyone else. Their bad days and lapses of judge-ment quickly filter down. The result is poor staff morale and kids who act out, continuing a cycle which could have been prevented with a better attitude and respect for other human beings. "As you treat one, you treat them all." Bring the gift of cheer to your administrators, faculty, staff and our most pre-cious kids; our future!

Ocean View - The potholes on Woodbine Ocean View Road in Ocean View are getting out of hand. People with small cars beware, they may swallow your car whole.

Middle Township - I think some police officers must have been bullied in school. Then they get out into the real world and start doing the same thing to people when joining the police force. Some of these officers can be very professional, and most are living in a world where they think they are bet-ter than everyone else. To all the officers with this 'I am bet-ter than everyone else' mentality, you, my law enforcement friends, are the only ones who think so.

Avalon - The career politicians who are in office are running again; that is the problem. One councilman has been in office for 21 years, and the mayor and the other councilmen have been in office for 27 and 28 years, respectively. The answer is term limits.

Lower Township - We have to do something about Obama. The stock market is pushing record highs, unemployment is below six percent and the number of Americans without health insurance is below 14 percent. Fox news is correct; we need another Middle East war to save us. Under Republican leader-ship in 1953, the CIA-directed revolution in Iran had nothing to do with the problems we see now. The wise George H. W. Bush ignored his advisers and left Saddam in power to maintain stability. His son has proven his wisdom. Stop ignoring facts and study our history.

Wildwood Crest - Recently, a home invasion burglary was in the news, involving a victim who had posted pictures of his new-found wealth on social media. Obviously, not too smart. Apparently, the lottery does the same thing. When someone wins a large lottery, their name is published, which encourages con artists, thieves and most likely some greedy relatives. Leg-islation is needed to allow the winner to choose whether they want their names made public or not.

Court House - Does anyone monitor the time political ap-pointments to county jobs are required to be at work, especially Fridays?

North Wildwood - The spouter claiming millennials are in-clining toward Republicans needs a reality check. How many 25 to 30-year-olds agree with the party's agenda of favoring the rich, deporting innocent children born in the wrong place, changing social security and healthcare, silly laws against same sex unions, regime change overseas, etc.? Young people care about having a good job and a carefree, happy life.

(From Page A16)Wildwood - Instead of hiring people who already have a pen-sion and work for the city, hire the homeless, who could also be trained as firemen. This would be less of a burden on the taxpayer; i.e. shelter, food, welfare, etc., and this will probably stop all the complaining.

North Cape May - On Feb. 27, I was impressed by the crew of Lower PW trash collection truck no. 24 when they assisted me, a handicapped senior citizen, in getting my trash to the truck and my car to the street so I could keep my doctor's appoint-ment. Their above and beyond action was truly appreciated!

North Wildwood - With the Attorney General's Office, the Department of Community Affairs and the City of North Wild-wood all supporting the petition for receivership for Marina Bay Towers, it finally looks like the seniors will get the help they need and the city will get a building they can be proud of.

Del Haven - Would code enforcement please come out to the fire hazard at Roosevelt Blvd. and Bayshore Rd.? Now there are trailers, campers and cars for sale besides a lot of junk. Why is it that nothing gets done about this property?

Stone Harbor - If you're paying attention to how the six Stone Harbor council members deceive the public, the police build-ing is the latest scam on the taxpayer. They would like you to believe that they want your input. The reality is that they passed a $9.5 million bond ordinance and in it was $2 million seed money for the new building. They have every intention of building it no matter what anybody says. The SHPOA won't even take a position, as usual. This council did this with the $200,000 parking lot and the $2 million rec. center too.

Wildwood Crest - Wildwood Crest residents need to start de-manding answers as to why so many borough employees are resigning from long-held positions.

Stone Harbor - Every month, utility chair Karen Lane tells everyone what a great job we're doing conserving water. Going green, three days a week sprinklers, raise the water rates, new increased fees on meters and new sprinkler heads were all rec-ommended and done. Now, we get our meters raised to $85, new increased water rates and the mandated water threshold remains the same. Next year, the meters will be $100 and rates will go up again. Her policies are a failure. When will the homeowner association put a stop to this madness?

Stone Harbor - I truly believe it's about time for the publisher to reassess the value of continuing with the thumbs up/down feature in an otherwise very enjoyable Spout Off segment. No one can fathom what goes through the minds of those casting negatives, but sadly, it has been causing hard feelings and dis-gust to see the reactions by certain readers.

Thumbs on Spout Off are akin to “Likes” on Facebook – the meaning is subject to interpretation, especially if the origi-nal post is a bit cryptic. Folks looking at thumbs are free to interpret them as they wish. If folks who are thumbing want

to be sure their meaning is clearly understood, they should either reply to the spout or post another spout. Some folks may not like the thumbs, but other folks seem to like them – they keep on clicking! Maybe thumb clickers are expressing an opinion…or maybe it’s just part of their fitness regimen.

Stone Harbor / Philadelphia - We are disappointed with the trend to demolish our older houses vs. preserving them through renovation. We are losing the charm our town is noted for. The Vintage House of Stone Harbor program started by the Stone Harbor Museum is a good way to recognize our older houses and hopefully encourage people to rethink demolitions. We will display our Vintage House plaque on our 90+ year old home. We hope others will also.

North Wildwood / Philadelphia - It has been the overt intention of the Republican party to impede, deride and ulti-mately make this president fail. Along with their lies on talk radio, Fox News and other outlets, time and time again their aim is shown. The latest is this treasonous letter to the hostile government of Iran. Where is the indignation? Is making one side look bad worth the national disgrace? When we attacked during the Bush administration, he had unanimous support and we saw what he did with that. Just because one administra-tion lied about national security doesn't mean this one is. Get behind America!

Sea Isle City - Bravo to the spouter who stated that SIC has deteriorated into an alcoholic, drunken party town. When will the community say enough is enough? With each celebration throughout the year, it becomes increasingly obvious that li-quor establishments do not honor the code of cutting an in-dividual off when they have had too much to drink. Perhaps enforcing the issue, combined with patrol officers arresting drunken individuals will help to put a stop to this unpleasant sight around our town. SIC deserves a better reputation!

Wildwood - Stop drug dealing on Park Blvd. and Baker Ave.

Ocean City - I sincerely hope the Wildoood spouter who wrote about hiring the homeless was speaking tongue in cheek. If it is sarcasm, it is clever; it is for real, it shows a horrible lack of knowledge how complicated firefighting is, as well as the fact that most of these unfortunate homeless are so because of substance abuse or mental problems.

Ocean City - I suspect that an Avalon spouter is wrong in asking for term limits for politicians. The real answer is to find someone to run against them and someone who can do a better job. Have you ever heard, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it?" When any administration becomes stale, it needs to be replaced, but by superior competence, not covetousness.

Court House - Wisconsin is another state changing to a right-to-work state. Imagine the benefits if N.J. were a right-to-work state? Lower taxes, faster road development, better public education, lower and maybe eliminated debt, maybe even a surplus, and for sure we would see employers come back to the state, but I can only dream because as long as we have the less than competent legislators in the state house who only care

about politicians, this once great state will continue towards socialism, and those of us who pay the taxes will continue to leave the state to deadbeats.

Sea Isle City - The trash and litter left be-hind by the Polar Bear Plunge attendees is still laying in the dunes between JFK Blvd. and 36th Street. I know we have a community, volunteer beach clean-up in April, but that's too long for all of this debris to go unattended. Can the city do something in the meantime to make our town look more presentable?

Sea Isle City - I would like to commend the city for having the promenade completely cleared by March 7, two days after the big snowstorm. They even shoveled a path to the restrooms at 40th Street. A big thank you from the avid walkers!

Lower Township - To the parent at the third through fourth grade championship game with Middle vs. Lower who wouldn't stop yelling at the officials, in which you were al-most thrown out: You're not setting a good ex-ample for your child. Just enjoy watching your son play without embarrassing him!

Stone Harbor - The spout challenging the thumbs up or down is way off base. It's just a fun thing to do. You either like spouts or you don't. That spouter and others must live their lives on the edge to think people are getting agitated because of them.

Goshen - Attention Middle Township Middle School parents: Applications for the national honor society should be handed out shortly to eligible students. Don't get your hopes up. Even if you have all the grades and require-ments needed, you may not get in. My child had all the required amounts of school activi-ties, community hours, mentoring skills and grades, and still didn't get in. Shame on the committee for not following through on many of the applications. Villas - The potholes are out of hand in Lower Township. Will the township pay for new tires for our cars? You can't even dodge them any-more. They need to fix the potholes as soon as possible.

North Cape May - Stephen A. Smith, a black sports commen-tator for ESPN, stated that rac-ism may be behind the recent player moves made by Chip Kelly of the Eagles. Why do

people like Smith, Sharpton, Jackson and oth-ers like them have to thread the line of racism into everything a white person does when a black person is involved? Smith should know better than to make a statement like this be-cause the majority of the players in the NFL are black. This racism thing is really getting old.

Cape May Beach - According to a recent conservative/liberal poll (Wall Street Journal and NBC), more people prefer, for president, in spite of all the negative news about Hillary, another Clinton over a Bush. What does that say about contemporary America, especially since the Bush family has exhibited far higher standards of character?

Avalon - The media is correct to put that new, freshman Arkansas senator on blast for insti-gating the Iran letter and undermining admin-istration conduct of foreign policy. Our Con-stitution is clear that it is the president who conducts any foreign policies for our country.

Court House - Teacher spouts criticizing their administrators continue to pour in fast and furiously; one complaining about "little things" they are doing or not doing that are put into their evaluation. Judging by the com-plaints involving teacher classroom manage-ment practices, I'm not so sure these are so "little."

Sea Isle City - I don't drink, so I don't have any big interest in the brew pub vote in Sea Isle City. All the negative comments regard-ing the brew pub were about the number of bars in Sea Isle (18-20), but all the bar owners have two or three different bars under one es-tablishment. I'm puzzled though; why did two councilmen with ties to the bar community not recuse themselves from voting?

Wildwood Crest - I am a delivery truck driv-er and I have been trying to make a delivery to Preston Ave. in the Crest for weeks. When will this construction ever be done?

Sea Isle City - Why is it when you come into Sea Isle City, the church property looks like a scrapyard? To Sea Isle City, please have this property cleaned up. It is disgraceful!

Local Fave’sJersey Shore

Recipes from The Cooking G-ma

Some food inventions are brilliant, whipped cream in a can and instant mashed potatoes to name a few. My favorite is no-boil lasagna noodles! No more man against large slippery noodles challenge. Gone for-ever are ripped noodles that noodlers try to match together like a jigsaw puzzle.

Traditional lasagna is often made with meat and red gravy. Served with steamy garlic bread and crunchy lettuce salad, the meal is about perfect.

Raise eyebrows when you say, “Creamy Spinach and Broccoli Lasagna” when your family asks about the dinner menu. The skeptics will mumble some-thing about how it is not really lasagna and reluc-tantly poke at it. By the time the fork is out of their mouth, they will take their foot out so more lasagna can go in.

Ingredients:1 tbsp olive oil1 small onion, finely choppedSalt and pepper 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped1 10 oz package frozen leaf spinach, thawed and

squeezed dry, roughly chopped1 10 oz package frozen broccoli florets, thawed

and patted dry, roughly chopped1 15 oz container ricotta6 oz mozzarella, grated (about 1 1/2 cups), di-

vided 1 cup grated Romano cheese, divided 1 cup whole milk4 oz cream cheese, cut into piecesPinch of freshly grated or ground nutmeg8 no-boil lasagna noodles

Preheat oven to 425. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, ¼ tsp each salt and pepper and cook, covered, stirring occasionally

until very tender, 6-8 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Place the spinach and broccoli in a large bowl. Mix in the ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella and ¼ Romano. Add the milk to the onions’ whisk to combine. Bring to a simmer, whisk in cream cheese, nutmeg and remaining ¼ cup Romano. Gently sim-mer, do not boil, stirring occasionally, 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Spread 1/2 the sauce on the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish. Top with 2 ½ noodles, breaking to fit as needed. Spread a third, about 1/3 cup, of remaining sauce over the top. Dol-lop with 1/3 of the ricotta mixture. Repeat twice. Sprinkle with the remaining ½ cup mozzarella, cov-er tightly with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake until noodles are tender and the top is gold-en brown, about 8-10 minutes more. A sharp knife should slice through neatly. Let the lasagna rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serves 4.

When cooking garlic, cook and stir for just about 1 minute until it is fragrant. Add it to the pan on top of the onions, to avoid direct contact with the heat. It burns easily and quickly and can become bitter.

This unusual main dish may not be “mangia, man-gia” but even the skeptics will admit it is delicious.

If it just is not lasagna to you without some meat add chicken or sausage to complete this dish.

Keeping a lawn lush and green at the height of summer requires homeowners to adopt effective strategies. Such strategies can make the difference between a lush

Six NJ Business Associations Reach Agreement with City of Trenton

TRENTON -- The New Jersey Business & Industry Association, New Jersey State Chamber of Com-merce, New Jersey Food Council, New Jersey Retail Merchants Association, New Jersey Restaurant As-sociation and the National Federation of Independent Businesses today reached an agreement with the City of Trenton that would place on hold the enforcement of the city’s mandatory paid sick leave ordinance pending a court hearing on April 9.

Superior Court Judge Mary Jacobson today signed the order codifying the agreement.

“We are pleased that

Trenton has agreed to delay enforcement of its paid sick leave ordinance,” said the associations’ attorney Chris Gibson of the law firm Archer & Greiner. “We believe Trenton is exceeding its statutory authority by requiring em-ployers to provide their employees with paid sick time.

“The ordinance is unen-forceable and unconstitu-tional and Trenton has yet to promulgate rules, much less inform the businesses impacted by the ordinance what they need to do to comply.”

The associations’ com-plaint also argues that the city cannot reach beyond

its municipal boundar-ies to require employers located outside of Trenton to provide paid sick leave for employees who work at least 80 hours a year in the city as the ordinance allows.

The associations be-lieve Trenton’s ordinance is vague, ambiguous, and contrary to New Jersey law and impossible to inter-

pret, administer or imple-ment. According to the complaint, paid sick time is not a matter of local concern relevant only to those who live in Tren-ton, but is rather a matter of general and statewide significance, particularly since this ordinance clearly impacts employers that have workforces spanning multiple municipalities.

Fallen Heroes Plunge President Dennis Dool presenting a check for $2,500 to North Wildwood Police Chief Matthew Gallagher and Mid-Atlantic Police and Fire Survivors' Weekend (MAPFSW) President George Greenland to benefit the 16th Annual MAPSFW Weekend. The donation is from proceeds raised during the Fallen Heroes Polar Plunge held Feb. 28, 2015.

Greater Cape May Chamber of Commerce Opposes Cape May City Council Actions

COURT HOUSE -- The Chamber of Commerce of Greater Cape May would like to go on record as op-posing the actions taken in the Cape May City Council work session of March 3, 2015 with regard to Captain Robert Sheehan. Council’s actions have un-fairly cast a shadow on the reputation of a man who has served this city faith-fully for many years, as well as set into motion other unfortunate ramifications.

Since his appointment

as Chief, Captain Sheehan has represented a breath of fresh air in his dealings with the Chamber of Com-merce. He has been proac-tive in providing informa-tion and training for our retail members in regard to prevention of credit card fraud and shoplifting. We applaud his use of social media in the resolution of several recent shoplift-ing cases, as well as using social media to keep the community informed about new Police Department

programs. We have been heartened by his willing-ness to partner with the community and the support he has provided for Cham-ber and other community events. Instituting such programs as Operation Re-assurance and Coffee with a Cop has served to deepen the connection between the Police Department and the Community.

We request that the Council reconsider its ac-tions and reinstate Captain Sheehan.

Crest Savings Supports Sandman Schools 6th Grade Arlington Class Trip

COURT HOUSE - Crest Savings Bank is proud to make a donation that will

help the students of Mrs. Robinson’s 6th grade class to make a trip to the Arling-ton National Cemetery for a local fallen soldier’s rec-ognition ceremony May 7.

For the past three years, Sandman School students have participated in the September ceremony hon-oring New Jersey’s fallen heroes. This year, Mrs. Robinson’s class has com-memorated a local fallen soldier, Capt. Brian R. Faunce, who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom. The students have paid special tribute through let-ters and cards cherished by the Faunce family. As a token of appreciation, the class was asked to attend the ceremony.

United Way Announces New Regional Leadership Structure in Southern New Jersey

United Way of Greater Philadelphia and South-ern New Jersey (UWGP-SNJ) today announced a new leadership structure in Southern New Jersey designed to maximize the organization’s ability to improve lives and drive Impact across the region. Leading this integrated team is John Emge as Vice President & Regional Execu-tive Director, Alice Woods as Regional Director of Impact, and Ilise James as Regional Director of Re-source Development.

Design of this regionally integrated structure was led by a committee of vol-unteers representing each community, and chaired by Mindy Holman, UWGP-SNJ’s incoming chair of its

Regional Board of Directors. “As a regional organiza-

tion, we strategically invest our Impact Fund to improve Education, Income and Health for our neighbors in need —and our commit-ment to each local commu-nity remains paramount,” said Jim Cawley, President and CEO of UWGPSNJ. “Through a unified regional team, which includes our many dedicated volunteers and talented staff, we are better positioned to deepen our local relevance and drive measurable, lasting Impact that none of us can achieve alone.”

Marlton resident John Emge has more than 30 years of United Way experi-ence, working throughout South Jersey and Phila-

delphia. In that time, he managed fundraising efforts exceeding $35 million and successfully transitioned United Ways in Atlantic and Cape May Counties from pass-through funders to strategic social investors. He played an integral role in UWGPSNJ’s 2012 merger, serving as co-chair of the design team. Now, as part of the organization’s Senior Leadership Team, Emge will focus on advancing UWGPSNJ’s regional work and galvanizing volunteers to drive Impact forward with shared vision and a cohesive strategy.

Alice Woods, of Absecon, previously served as United Way’s Executive Director in Cumberland County; where she successfully tran-

sitioned the annual grants process to a more strategic investment model focused on Education, Income and Health. Prior, her work in Atlantic County with Unit-ed Way included launching the Women’s Leadership Initiative to support United Way’s early childhood de-velopment initiative Suc-cess By 6®, which has helped thousands of women access quality pre-natal care and young children build early literacy skills. Woods will leverage her unique understanding of the communities served in Southern New Jersey to fos-ter meaningful partnerships and strategic investments through the Impact Fund that meet local needs.

Ilise James, of Somers Point, spent 22 years in management in the ca-sino industry before join-ing United Way in Central Maryland. There, as Assis-tant Director of Develop-ment, she increased fund-raising as much as 50 per-cent among the healthcare providers she managed and built up membership in the Alexis De Tocqueville soci-ety. In this new position, James expands her develop-ment role from Atlantic and Cape May Counties to lead regional efforts in South Jersey to connect more do-nors with the Impact Fund as means to improve lives and lift entire communities.

Rain Doesn’t Dampen Irish Celebration, St. Patrick’s Day Parade Goes Indoorsselves, creating a tapestry of green.

Both sides of the bleach-ers, against the back wall, were nearly full and the Gloucester City String Band sat in readiness under the scoreboard. Although the customary parade had to be cancelled due to weather conditions, Gloucester City String band, Camden Coun-ty Irish Pipe and Drum Brigade, and the Second Street Irish Society brought the festivities indoors, set-ting the gym ablaze with pageantry and music.

Why celebrate St. Pat-rick’s Day? After all, North Wildwood calls the main-land of the U.S. home – why celebrate the life of a slave who tended sheep for an Irish chieftain over a millennium ago? Historians still quibble over where Patricius (St. Patrick’s name in Latin) came from exactly in ancient Britain; tradi-tion points to England, but strong evidence suggests that the missionary was captured along the coast of Scotland or possibly Wales.

Regardless, young Pat-rick found himself prisoner of Irish raiders in the 400s, after the fall of the Roman Empire in 410 A.D. Until his 21st birthday, Patrick served an Irish chieftain, tending sheep and pigs among the rolling hills. After his escape, Patrick de-cided to return and present the message of Christianity to those who had enslaved him.

Mayor Patrick Rosenello further explained why cel-ebrating St. Patrick’s Day here bears significance. “Today we celebrate our community, our culture, and in many in instances, our religion, and our coun-try.” Rosenello went on to explain the ethnic and religious ties that many residents of North Wild-wood share with Ireland. “You’d think with a mayor with a name like Patrick, we’d have better luck with the weather!” Rosenello joked before the ceremony officially began.

The ceremony could not begin until the arrival of Grand Marshal Kevin Mc-Closkey, of Philadelphia. When McCloskey arrived, he was described as some-one who “personified that love of our culture, our Irish heritage, and our com-munity North Wildwood.”

McCloskey demonstrat-ed his love for the U.S. by serving in the military in the face of danger: he lost both legs as a result. But McCloskey’s story did not end with loss. Today, he golfs, lives a normal life, and will soon take on the new role of husband. He was fitted with new legs upon his return to the U.S.

Rosenello summed up McCloskey’s spirit: “He (McCloskey) exemplifies, in my mind, the strength of the Irish heritage in our country.”

The introduction of the grand marshal was followed by the Irish national an-them by the Irish Pipe and Drum Brigade and later by the raising of the Irish flag. The tricolor of green, white and orange symbolizes the hope for peace that many share, on both sides of the Atlantic, for a peaceful Ire-land. Conflict in Northern Ireland has passed into legendary tales in the col-

lective American memory, but for many the memories are still real and raw.

Mike Wilson, president of the Anglesea Irish Soci-ety, said after the ceremony that the organization exists to promote their faith and the North Wildwood com-munity through various fundraiser events. Both Wilson and McCloskey testified to the strength of North Wildwood by tak-ing the ceremony indoors and proceeding as planned in spite of the weather. Special thanks was given

to the North Wildwood Recreation Center.

After applause for the renditions of “O Danny Boy” and “Amazing Grace” (the latter played by the Second Street Irish Soci-ety of Philadelphia), Rev. Joseph Wallace of Notre Dame de la Mer Parish in Wildwood gave a benedic-tion, borrowing from the words of St. Patrick himself.

Bagpipes and drums

may have been the instru-ments of war, but March 14, they were instruments of peace, heralding stories of strength, determina-tion, and courage by Irish immigrants who came to these shores. As Council President Salvatore Zam-pirri said, “today we are all Irish.”

NORTH WILDWOOD – A steady mix of rain and mist settled over the city on the morning of March 14, as if a wind blew over from Ireland. Coming out from the community, Camden County, and from the far-flung corners of Philadelphia, those who dodged raindrops lent a new meaning the phrase “40 shades of green” as they entered North Wild-wood Recreation Center.

Kilts, bagpipes, sham-rock glasses, and innumer-able hues of green filled the gymnasium. Members of the Anglesea Irish Society and the Ancient Order of Hibernians sported blue sweaters and emerald jack-ets while others, of all ages, chatted amongst them-

Is the Abortion Wave Gradually Running Its Course?

Our nation’s Supreme Court passed the Roe v. Wade decision 42 years ago and established a national right to abortion. Since that time, 50 million abortions have taken place. As I read the papers and watch the news, I am starting to ask myself, is the “not an insurmountable problem – I’ll get an abortion” response to an undesired pregnancy starting to run its course?

Since Roe v. Wade, many states, and then Congress, struck back to limit some types of abortion. One such outlawed procedure was the partial-birth abortion, where the baby is delivered, except for the head, and then its life “unceremoniously” ended.

Since the partial-birth abortion ban, abor-tionists have turned to other means of ending pregnancies. As a result, numerous states have passed additional laws. One such law, referred to as fetal dismemberment, prohibits the practice

of “knowingly dismembering a living unborn child and extracting such unborn child one piece at a time from the uterus through the use of clamps, grasping forceps, tongs, scissors…”

==========The pain for the mother

goes up significantly when she becomes aware of the means required

to terminate the life==========

My years on this earth have taught me that Americans are a caring, compassionate people, and when faced with injustice and impropriety, most Americans resist it. It is one thing for a lady to become pregnant and seek an abortion when the experience is sterile, like just taking a pill. It is quite another thing when the mother comes face to face with the reality that she is terminating a person’s life, her own child’s life, for that matter.

And the pain for the mother goes up significantly when she becomes aware of the means required to terminate the life of the child before removing him or her from the womb. The further along in the pregnancy, the more drastic the process.

With sexual activity leading to so many unwanted pregnancies, might the day come, and perhaps not too far down the road, that Americans return to the way things were when my 97-year-old mother was a young lady? She told me that when she was young, men did not expect to have sex when they went out on a date. Even today, that is more or less true. Of course, not all unwanted pregnancies are outside of a husband-wife relationship; but many are, and that is the sex I refer to here.

The world is really messed up right now, having thrown off so many values that kept us from so much pain. But that is the way life is – we learn through pain.

If you know someone who is pregnant and feeling hopeless right now, have her call Hope Pregnancy Center 886-7022.

From the Publisher

If You’re Happy, Clap Your HandsWe just returned from a week in “The Happiest Place on

Earth,” Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla. The place is a case study in what Cape May County would be

like if it had a year-round tourism economy. As we boarded frigid, transit buses hither and yon to this and that park, most of the time we stood shoulder-to-shoulder. There were often screaming tykes and frazzled moms and dads. Dads usually toted fold-up stroll-ers that were about as compact as a Sherman tank. Fortunately, there was a rule that strollers had to be folded prior to boarding.

Most amazing to this curmudgeon was that everyone, from chamber maids and bus drivers to ride attendants and sales clerks wore a happy face. They seemed truly happy to be there, and were quick to start a conversation.

I proudly wore my black Philadelphia Flyers cap with team logo emblazoned. Worn mainly to shade my graying head from the sweltering Florida sun, it was amazing just how many, cast members as well as ordinary fellow tourists, commented on the team or Philadelphia. That happened on another visit when I sported a Philadelphia Eagles cap, and got a similar reception. OK, to be honest, I did get a few nasty winces from folks who had New Jersey Devils shirts and Pittsburgh Penguin attire, but hey, be happy; we were all in the happiest place on earth, right? And it IS only a game, isn’t it?

Never once in the places where we dined were we greeted by a waitress who said, “Hey, guys, how-usze doin’? I’ll be your waitress…” Each pleasantly announced their name and made a bit of a fuss over the littlest one in our group, year-old Sheilla. She was, after all, the reason we were there, to mark her natal day. They must teach that in cast charm school or something, or maybe they hire folks who really enjoy their day working with rushed tourists who don’t really know where they are going, but have to be there in a half hour to make the next “FastPass” line.

“FastPass,” for the uninitiated, is a Disney-coined phrase that means you’re savvy with technology and have made prior time arrangements to be at a ride at a fairly specific time. To free spirits and happy wanderers, the “FastPass” is an affront. On the other hand, to the fast-food generation that wants meals in a minute and then wonders why the long wait, it’s a blessing. Shovel down the chow, grab the last French fry and “We’ve got five minutes to get there.”

The alternative to “FastPass” is to do it the old-fashioned way, to wait in line, sometimes 20 minutes, sometimes 40 sometimes even 85 minutes, depending upon the popularity of the attrac-tion. Wow! Think of lines waiting 40 minutes to ride some local attractions. Would it be possible, or would they walk down the boards, grab some pizza, and shun the piers?

Remember, oh mad dasher, this is “The Happiest Place on Earth.”

Imagine if the county’s boardwalk attractions packed ‘em in like that, so many they would have to make prior reservations to

be guaranteed a speedy entrance to a thrill of a lifetime. Could we bear the strain?

I must confess, by the last evening, waiting for about 15 min-utes in a frigid bus for our turn to unload at Downtown Disney, I was plotting a get-away vacation. I fantasized about some de-serted, peaceful, secluded spot maybe on a country road in Indiana or maybe Montana. As we jerked along toward the unloading platform, I thought about a place with no serpentine, cordoned lines waiting to buy some grub, and where the idea of dining out was a stick-cooked hot dog and cold beans really under the big sky, looking at a lazily flowing river.

Back to reality, even after the delay, as we left the bus, the driver wore a smile and wished each rider a good evening, have a happy time. How do they do that? Do they take happy pills or something? If I were that driver, I believe I would be seething and would probably get out and kick the tires, just to relieve part of my anxiety. Thank goodness this is “The Happiest Place on Earth.”

Every cast member wears a name tag with their hometown. It’s a clever idea, and one that brings to the fore the concept that it is a very small world. (Yes, we floated through “it’s a small world” ® and the tune is still lodged between my ears as I write this.) And, yes, we used a “FastPass” for a shorter wait time.

As the blazing sun beat down, elders, many pushing strollers with sleeping babes, sought shade, any shade, humble though it might have been. The weather was beautiful, far better than the county’s last snowfall and the bone-chilling cold we had experienced.

Could this county stand that year-round flurry of tourists from all over the world? Are we ready, willing and able to accommodate men in turbans, women in hijabs (covering), and people speaking languages few of us understand? Would we be able to find hordes of people willing to go to “happiness training?” In the heat of August on the boardwalks of Cape May County, would there be smiling guides and those ready to answer any question, even if they are handling trash bags or checking tickets?

Could we find enough smiling workers to greet newcomers who ask the same “dumb” questions day in and day out?

Ours is a tourist economy, we all know that, and our attitudes are seasonal. Could they stand year-round crowds, lines of cars and buses? How long would it take before the smiles would disappear?

Next time you order food, be joyous if you can walk straight to the counter, no serpentine waiting lines.

This is the happiest place on earth, remember that and smile.

World Powers Must NegotiateTo the Editor:

Prime Minister Netanya-hu made his dramatic speech against any nuclear treaty with Iran to a gullible U.S. Congres-sional audience, and the pub-lisher of the Herald, Art Hall, applauded.

For heaven’s sake, one does not have to be a highly trained peace negotiator to use reason in this case. Iran certainly knows that a nuclear strike on Israel (if they had the bomb) would be retaliated immediately to their own country’s destruc-tion. And, if Israel did not bomb Iran in return, the U.S. would follow through. Why would they be so suicidal? That sce-nario could start a devastating third World War.

A negotiated treaty must be worked out by all world powers possessing nuclear capabilities. Besides the moral consequences of another U.S. war involvement in the Middle East, our country will eventually be drained of our resources and armed forces.

College Entrance Exams Should Still Matter To the Editor:

Pretty soon, one will need only a normal blood pressure to gain acceptance to a gang of colleges that are thinking of giving a candidate the op-tion of either presenting SAT scores or simply responding to about five short essay questions in the admissions process.

Colleges are in business, and they need to keep freshmen coming in order keep their faculties employed. Now, many marginal candidates will be given a chance to attend a college where they normally would have been rejected. I’m savvy enough to understand that board scores alone are no true indicator that one has the real stuff to com-plete four years of a tough program on the college level. But when board scores, along with grade

point average, maturity and recommendations are all examined together, that will give admissions officials a better insight into risk factors.

I came from a background where no one in my family or any relatives ever went to college. My parents spoke Italian at home. My neighborhood housed blue-collar workers, and there was an at-titude existing there that didn’t encourage college for us young ones. It was considered “uppity” to see college as your next move after high school.

I studied my tail off to prepare for SATs. I worked hard to prepare for GREs and LSATs. My test-taking skills were shaky at best, but I knew that these tests were hurdles I needed to face in my pursuit of a college education. I did what I had to do. No short cuts.

(Page A41 Please)

“If you look for truth, you

truth...”C.S. Lewis

www.CapeMayCountyHerald.com A41opinionMarch 18 2015

This move to lessen the importance of qualifying board scores is a dangerous precedent. I don’t believe that I would engage the services of a lawyer who had the op-tion of a few short essays or LSATs to gain acceptance to law school, nor would I sit in the office of any physician who was given the chance to duck MCATs in order to gain entrance to medical school.

Kids today like to say, “It is what it is.” SATs have been used for decades as a measurement, and they should still be utilized as part of the total backdrop to all candidates who feel that a college degree is absolutely essential in their lives.

Making Life Work!

By DR. JUDITH COCHE

What’s Half A Century Between Friends? Everything.

“She is a friend of my mind. She gather me, man. The pieces I am, she gather them and give them back to me in all the right order. It’s good, you know, when you got a woman who is a friend of your mind.” – Toni Morrison, Beloved.

“Mother Judy we called you. You always had the answers about life. You were smarter …” Sally spoke casually, stating what to her had remained obvious but unsaid for half a century. Stunned, I marveled at her words. I, gawky, all-legs at 19. Secretly shy around blue-eyed preppy college boys who drank too much beer. I, longing for New York in Waterville, Maine, found myself under stimulated by the Colby scene, save glorious har-monizing, Comparative Philosophy, and sister level friendships with Barbara with Doris, and yes, with Sally Berry.

At 18, Sally sparkled. Blond curls requiring no primping framed her Wedgewood blue eyes. Envious, I struggled with brown kinky hair that refused to behave in a wet climate. It was a privilege to live next door to Shirley Temple. Sally had not yet come into her obvious wisdom, but her joie de vivre matched mine. Our friendship was less about depth and more about joy. Joy sufficed.

I slurped up New York and Europe as soon as I could grab my BA. I had no thought of return to Colby until curiosity about a 50th reunion drove me to attend last June. And suddenly there was Sally, sporting a genteel newish husband named Rich, and burbling about her second career as a juried plein air artist who lives in California sunshine. Shirley Temple was trending toward Betty White, but effervescent and compelling as ever. So, when I was heading to California recently to train colleagues, I emailed Sally. She and Rich and I packed picnic gear and headed to Carmel in their shiny new pickup truck with Sally at the wheel. Within minutes we were laughing and reminding each other of events that shaped both lives for the next 50 years.

The impact of reviewing long seemingly forgotten life episodes during these most formative of years was immense: I could begin to see myself as Sally saw me. Suddenly, later life choices made sense in light of the impression Sally reported about knowing me at age 18. And, although much of undergraduate college had seemed like a poor investment in my future, the social polishing I sought and achieved at college allowed me to overcome the shyness that had plagued my early years and gave others the chance to see me as I am inside. With help

from my good friend Sally I could understand the strength that others saw before I did.

Renewing a friendship after half a century aroused my curiosity about what research tells us about friendship. Gal-lup Polls has taken an interest in our friendships because they are necessary for life and health. Social isolation is one of the dangers in old age, for example. Gallup Organiza-tion’s director, Tom Rath, wrote “Vital Friends: The People You Can’t Afford To Live Without” and designed research on how we make friends and the roles they play in our lives. He discusses social isolation as a devastating existence that can cause others to overeat, lost jobs, even become homeless.

Being without friends is dangerous. If your best friend eats healthily, you are five times more likely to have a healthy diet yourself. Married people say friendship is

more than five times as important as physi-cal intimacy within marriage. Those who say they have no real friends at work have only a one in 12 chance of feeling engaged in their job. Conversely, if you have a “best friend at work,” you are seven times more likely to feel engaged in your job.

Roth suggests a friendship audit to recognize which roles your friends play in your life. This enables you to sharpen each friendship in line with its strength. The audit can be taken in relation to each friendship. Roth discusses eight ways to be a friend. A friend can act as a:

• Builder who motivates you• Champion who sings your praises• Collaborator who has similar interests and passions• Companion who is always there for you• Connector, who introduces you to others and widens

your circle• Energizer who always gives you a boost and makes

you laugh• Mind opener who expands your horizons and em-

braces new ideas• Navigator who helps you make decisionsTo Consider: As you ponder your life long friends, who

comes to mind? Which roles have they played in your life? What to you want them to know about you? Have you told them? Why not?

On the Way to Cape May

It’s Elementary

I have always been a voracious reader, primarily fiction, and a healthy mix of genre with the notable exception of romance, unless the heroine had four feet, that is. To this day, even when picking digital books for my Kindle, I avoid anything with the “ripped bodice” style of book jacket design. I have always liked mysteries, however, which I found applies well here at the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts and Humanities (MAC).

March is the month of mystery as Sherlock Holmes, accompanied by Dr. Watson, of course, stalks the streets of Cape May in our twice-annual Sherlock Holmes Week-end (if you miss him now, he’s back in early November).

Sherlock Holmes is such a natural fit for Victorian Cape May, since that is very much the great detective’s era. Over the years, I read a few of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s tales of Sherlock Holmes and watched a few of Basil Rathbone’s great interpretations on screen, but my familiarity with the Victorian setting was not what it is today, naturally.

There has also been a rebirth in interest in Holmes thanks to recent movies and TV shows, which have run the gamut from the traditional Victorian Sherlock, albeit

sometimes a pretty dark version of the original, to more modern interpretations, a sort of Sherlock meets CSI. We can all agree, I think, that the original Sherlock never needed DNA to get the bad guy.

Sherlock Holmes, thanks to generations of visualiza-tions, immediately conjures up the mysterious and aloof figure with a pipe, wearing the traditional deerstalker hat. Of course, no matter how cold it was in Victorian England, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him with the earflaps down.

There are some aspects to Sherlock’s personality that we were not as familiar with until more recent cinematic interpretations, such as his dabbling in addictive sub-stances. Thank goodness for Dr. Watson!

I admit I did a little more research into his personal-ity than what I remembered from my own readings and found another tidbit that hit my funny bone, because it sounds so much like someone I work with. Apparently, Holmes could not bring himself to destroy documents, and his home décor included stacks of manuscripts and other papers. He might be a candidate for a “Hoarders” TV documentary today!

Our group of local actors, led again this year by John Alvarez, do their best to blend the traditional, almost dour Sherlock with a bit of humor thrown in. This year’s early spring weekend begins March 20 as cast and par-ticipants gather to solve the mystery of Sherlock Holmes and the Silver Fox. As you might guess, it’s based on a hunt society, a popular pastime of the rich and famous in Victorian times.

The entire weekend event includes a Friday night per-formance, where you meet the cast, then on to your own detective work with a Search for Clues Tour on Saturday, concluding with a Sunday morning get-together where the dastardly culprits are revealed. For those who prefer a smaller dose, you can just do the Search for Clues alone on Saturday, and still find out if you’re detective material or a clueless wonder.

So, if you’re looking for a weekend or just an afternoon to help you forget about winter, it’s elementary what you should be doing. Check out www.capemaymac.org for details. Just think what Sherlock could have been if he’d had Google!

Our Readers Write Enthusiastic About Middle Township’s FutureTo the Editor:

Success breeds enthusiasm and enthusiasm in turn cre-ates success. My enthusiasm for Middle Township’s future continues to grow because of the success we have had improving the services we provide our residents, while managing what those services cost the taxpayers. The key has been smart planning and innovative teamwork. The success is evident in the 2015 budget.

Long term planning has been an important part of every initiative I have undertaken in Town Hall. When I first took office in 2010, it was apparent that there were plenty of opportunities to improve planning practices, includ-ing financial expenditures, management structure, debt service and capital improvements. It was sorely evident that you have to work on next year’s budget, this year.

After five years of studying, planning, restructuring and implementing ambitious goals for Middle Township, I am proud of what we have accomplished in partnership with our dedicated employees. I am equally gratified by the positive feedback we have received from our residents, both on a daily basis and in the voting booth. Having a well-defined vision to share with the taxpayers helps us communicate our mission most effectively. Our financial mission has been clear since I became mayor in 2012, we will keep taxes flat while continuing to deliver the level of services our residents deserve.

The highest municipal tax levy in township history was passed in 2011. Under the current leadership established in 2012, Middle Township has not exceeded that all time high for four consecutive years. I’m happy to announce that we will not be increasing taxes in 2015 and will actually see a small reduction in our tax rate.

This is not done with smoke and mirrors, but through hard work and strategic planning. The audit and restruc-turing of our Treasurer’s Office will lead to even more responsible financial planning in coming years and pro-vide better information, as we focus on continuing the

trend for next year and beyond. Highlights from the 2015 budget include: increasing

the budget surplus to buffer the effect of the accelerated tax sale, growing the ratable base with responsible devel-opment and reducing appeals through the 2012 reassess-ment program, balanced spending through internal cost saving measures, growing the number of police officers for the first time in years, and responsibly accounting for revenue by implementing best practices.

Through a more structured budgetary process, which includes clearly communicated goals, we have enhanced management’s understanding of what financially impacts their departments. This empowers the leaders of our municipal government to better manage taxpayer dollars.

If we continue down this road, there is more good news to come. In 2012, we put in place a short-term strategy for the capital expenditures of the municipality. This plan was simple; stop borrowing money, pay as we go. We will continue to improve our infrastructure and invest in our town; but we will do it in a more fiscally prudent way. The right way to manage our budget is the same way your family does it, by making the hard decisions to live within our means. That includes borrowing only what we can afford to pay back and spending responsibly. This practice will pay off in 2017, as a large portion of our debt service will come off the books. This follows the refinancing of our sewer debt, which will realize interest costs savings of over 1.2 million dollars.

As the senior member on Committee I continue to be enthusiastic and energized to serve our community. I see a very positive future for Middle Township. We are on the right path. We simply need to stay the course.

Before You Criticize, Take That Plank Out Of Your EyeTo the Editor:

In response to the Feb. 25 letter to the editor claim-ing glaring falsehoods in the publisher’s column, I think the writer has a few falsehoods attached to his own comments.

He talked about big money manipulation by the Re-publicans, in particular, the Koch brothers. He failed to mention that George Soros and the entertainment indus-try pour millions of dollars into the Democratic Party. However Soros does it by creating “527” committees to bypass the McCain Feingold act in regard to making contributions. Soros created what is now known as the Shadow party. Using these committees, Soros has poured $342 million into political channels compared to $40.6 million for the Koch brothers.

The media cries fowl over the Koch brothers but gives a free pass to Soros who is a currency speculator and stockbroker who benefits greatly from his donations to various politicians.

The writer talked about unabashed political party affili-ation while the writer obviously has an unabashed loyalty to the Democratic Party. He also talks about Republicans being vengeful because of criticism of Barack Obama but he makes no mention of the Bush bashing that went on for eight years from the Democrats.

Take a look at the political cartoons coming from newspapers in Europe and Canada. There is no respect for President Obama and his agenda.

Recently, John Kerry stood before the House Appropria-tions committee and said, “The violent conflict around the world is actually at it’s lowest point in the history of the world.” The next day, James Clapper director of National Intelligence told Senate Armed Services, “When the final accounting is done, 2014 will have been the most lethal year for global terrorism in the 45 years data has been compiled.” How can our White House be so out of touch?

In conclusion, I want to draw the writer’s attention to a verse from the Bible, Matthew 7:5.

“You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”

‘Fool Me Once and Shame On You…’To the Editor:

In 2008, our economy had lost its grip and was on the verge of collapse. We were losing some 700,000 jobs a month. Unemployment was at 10 percent and the stock market or Dow Jones was about 6,000.

Today, we gain about 200,000 – 300,000 jobs a month. Unemployment is at 5.5 percent and the Dow Jones has tripled to 18,000.

We have other problems, such as Isis and other Jihadi-type threats. But that all originated when we decided to attack Iraq, a country that has nothing to do with the September 11 attacks. Thus, we stepped on a hornet’s nest, which brought us to where we are today. Now we do, and it was a hard lesson to learn. To say nothing of the $3 trillion it added to our deficit. Before then, our deficit was $1 trillion in 1980. That was the year the Republicans began their 20 out of 28 year leadership. Reagan and Bush had 12 years combined.

To keep things in perspective, we didn’t have to meddle in the Middle East. We should have learned our lesson in 1983 when 243 marines in Lebanon were blown up. I remember who was president at that time.

When the Iraq war (2003-2010) wound down, we lost another 4,000 American soldiers. Will we ever learn? When things are OK, why fix them? We just had to experiment with wars and nation building.

All things considered, this is why America will not likely consider a Bush, Romney, Christie, Huckabee, Rubio, or any Republican governor in 2016. Should the American people deviate from this, they will prove the old adage: “Fool me once and shame on you…”

Those who fail to remember are doomed to repeat. Their supply-side economics and too much free market has put us in danger.

WILLIAM MURPHYCape May

Walk Your KidsTo the Editor:

It seems a dismaying quantity of South Jersey parents are quite reluctant to walk their small children from home to the bus stop, preferring instead to avoid fresh air and exercise by calling upon the family car to serve as feet.

This practice does not, thankfully, have the support of all. Besides the wise, those who live where the front door almost

touches the mailbox will, in all probability, ever rely on self-propulsion down asphalt drive to roadside wait. Unfortunately, others will restrain their mobility by subscribing to the following designations: walking a distance from 50 to 100 feet is an inconvenience; from 100 to 200 feet a trek; over 200 feet an ordeal.

RAY LEWISCorbin City

One Word for the Muslim WorldTo the Editor:

Based on recent reports, it appears there is a hue and cry asking members of the Muslim world to “step up to the plate” and denounce the Islamic terrorists and Jihadists who bastardize the tenets of their faith in the name of Allah.

I suggest that the first rung on that step for members of the Muslim world would be to adopt a word familiar to all of us, regard-less of our faith: excommunicate.

JAMES CAFIERO

In Response to Negative Police PressTo the Editor:

Please show support for law enforcement by honoring the ribbon of blue. For all they give and do. These brave men and women deserve our utmost respect. It’s through their selfless sacrifices each of our lives reflect.

Thank you to all armed forces.

CAPE CHRISTIAN ACADEMY

Stories of Pirates, Blackbeard, Captain Kidd and Buried Treasure were the starting point of the Mid-Atlantic Cen-ter for the Arts “Tales of Olde Cape May” presentation at Cape Christian Academy, Friday February 27. Though one might think such surly characters existed only in storybooks or on some distant Caribbean island, evidence of their presence along the Cape and Delaware Bay is well documented. Once the students interests were sparked, MAC representatives, Ginger and Frank Killino, dressed in Victorian period dress, talked of early waterway and rail transportation in the Cape, during the days when these were the main modes of transport. NJ History is a vital part of the curriculum at CCA and MAC programs reinforce what’s taught in the classroom in a visually engaging way”, says school representative.

Lower Township Gives Kudos to Shore Animal Control for Winter Patrols

VILLAS - Lower Town-ship Manager Jim Ridgway recognized Shore Animal Control for their hard work, especially during the harsh winter months.

During the months of January and February, Shore Animal Control re-sponded to 90 calls from concerned Lower Town-ship residents. Eleven of these calls were to check on the welfare of animals.

In addition to animal control officers patrolling the area for dogs outside in the extreme weather, officers made sure to carry fresh unfrozen water to give to any animals found with frozen water and edu-cate residents about proper pet care.

"I am very proud of our animal control officers who braved these freezing tem-peratures the past few

months while performing their duties,” said Dr. Nick Holland, of Shore Veteri-narians and Shore Animal Control.

“It has not been easy this season with the ex-treme temperatures, but they do this job because they love it. We continue to advise residents to bring pets indoors during these extreme temperatures."

One success story that details the dedication of the staff is that of a yellow Labrador named Shadow. Shadow was rescued from unfit conditions in January by Shore Animal Control, but he was emaciated, had a mass on his stomach and was suffering from multiple skin conditions. Now he has been brought back to health and looking for a forever family to give him the home he deserves.

In addition to provid-ing seven-days a week and 24-hour coverage, Shore Animal Control is also looking forward to increased enforcement of leash and clean up laws along the bay beaches in Lower Township. They will be writing summons for all dogs found off leash or in violation of municipal ordinances.

John Clifford, township chief financial officer, said that one of the hardest as-pects of putting the budget together was the previous tendency to lump funds in “buckets” rather than detail them for specific purposes.

The past year saw a ma-jor overall in the finance department. An outside review of the department found a heavy reliance on manual bookkeeping and lack of use of budget line items that would normally tie expenditures to spe-cific rather than general purposes.

Clifford said the 2015 budget will give the depart-ments “greater accountabil-ity” for funds. “There is no longer a big pot of money” allocated to a department,

he said. Putting the budget together, however, did de-mand a “lot of hard work” teasing numbers out for line items from previous years.

Emp loyee o f t he Month

Committee continued its ongoing employee recogni-tion program with Public Works Department’s Rita Kirk honored as employee of the month.

Donohue cited the fact that the township is the eighth largest municipal-ity in the state in terms of square miles. This presents the Public Works Depart-ment with a tremendous challenge, he said. The department “does a great job,” Donohue added, and “Rita is a great part of that success story.”

Kirk spent 17 years in

the Finance Department before moving to Public Works four years ago. Kirk is the administrative secre-tary in the department. In that role she coordinates daily assignments for the department crews and han-dles residents’ calls about issues that need resolution.

Donohue called the award “a well-deserved recognition.”

Atkinson’s TavernAtkinson’s Tavern, a

popular restaurant and bar, has been a fixture on Route 9 in Court House for many years. The tavern was recently sold and the township committee ap-proved the transfer of the license to 9 South Bar & Restaurant, LLC.
