1 Herald NEWS DI GESTS Voting Time for Some SEA ISLE CITY In this city, and in Wildwood and Avalon, municipal elections will be held on May 8 for citizens to vote for mayors, council members, and commissioners. Results will be too late for the May 9 edition of the Herald, but will be posted at when they are available. ACCC Honors Zelnik COURT HOUSE Atlantic Cape Community College Board of Trustees adopted a resolution here April 24 to honor Herald s Editor Emeritus Joseph Zelnik as a determined and respected voice of the people during nearly a half-century in the field of journalism. Joseph Rossi, dean of the campus here, and writer of Herald column Games People Play, joined the Herald family April 22 to mark the departure of Zelnik as full-time editor of the Herald. He presented a copy of the resolution at the event. See page A22 for more on the party to honor the Herald s long-time editor.

Nikki Nichols and Emily Sasso stood before ACCC s Board of Trustees here April 24 to ask for space to foster an even greater sense of connection between students who commute to the campus. It s the board s practice to meet at this location and its Worthington Atlantic City Campus for a few of its monthly meetings each year. Most are held at the Mays Landing Campus and all are open to the public. Nichols, who graduated from the County Technical High School in 2005, said she had been attending ACCC classes here and in Mays Landing. I think this campus is one of the best, said Nichols, particularly from a technological perspective. The board was sitting in the distance-learning center at the time, which has one large screen in the front of the room, and three along the back wall. The staff here is courteous and kind, (Page A12 Please) Dennis Township Poised to Outlaw Asphalt Plants? By JOE HART DENNISVILLE Last night, Dennis Township Committee was expected to vote on an ordinance prohibiting asphalt manufacturing within the township, but at the 11th hour Mayor John Murphy decided to postpone introducing the measure. The committee considered this prohibition after overwhelming community objection to R.E. Pierson Construction s planned asphalt plant off Woodbine-Ocean View Road. Murphy said he wanted to discuss the measure with Pierson officials first, before dropping an ordinance on them that might significantly impact their project. This will give the company a chance to change their plans, possibly dropping the asphalt plant from them, Murphy said. Township Administrator Jody Alessandrine said committee members realized that a majority of Ocean View residents neighboring the proposed site are against having an asphalt plant in their backyards. In our research, we discovered that several municipalities in New Jersey have ordinances prohibiting asphalt plants, he said. Egg Harbor Township, for instance, prohibits (Page A12 Please) Dennis Pupils Mail Books of Hope to Uganda By JOE HART DENNISVILLE A school bus filled with students on a mission rolled up to the Dennisville Post Office at 2 p.m. April 18.

Tear Down of Coachman Motor Inn May Expose Old Pollution By JACK FICHTER CAPE MAY Hissing, chugging, whistling, grease and oil dripping, coal and oil-fired steam locomotives once pounded the rails on a site where a new 54-unit condo-hotel has been approved by the city s planning board. But, the city s environmental commission has questions about that approval, and future clean up at the Coachman Motor Inn on Beach Avenue. A pending CAFRA application sits with the state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). The environmental commission wrote to DEP on Dec. 16, 2006, noting the planning board approved demolition of the Coachman Motor Inn, and construction of a new condohotel and restaurant, and waived the requirement for an environmental impact statement. Former railroad use of the property was never mentioned by anyone at the planning board hearing. Files in the city s Construction Office show, Cape Coachman Holdings L.L.C. had environmental reports on the need for site clean-up as early as July 25, 2006, but provided an environmental report to the city the day after the project was approved by the planning board on Dec. 6, The city clerk stamped received on the report Dec. 8. If the planning board had asked for it, we would have presented it, I guess, Keith Bashaw, a partner in Cape Coachman Holdings, told the Herald. I defer to our counsel on that. I don t know why it would be material in any way. A site plan review application was received by the city on Oct. 31, 2006, but an environmental report was not included. (Page A5 Please) Freeholders Invite Students to Take Closer Look at County Government By CHRISTINE COTE CREST HAVEN The typically tranquil lobby of the county administration building was all abuzz April 24, with representatives of various county departments and 15 area high schoolers chatting away. It was Student Government Day and the lobby provided space for an open house. Tables were set up and stocked with all sorts of things for students to PETRELLA & DESIDERIO look at, pick up, or take away. It was the third stop for the students who had assembled at the county Technical High School at 11:30 a.m. from their respective schools all over the county, according to Communications Director Lenora Boninfante, who coordinated the day and traveled with students and teachers to the planned activities. The eight high schools represented chose the students who attended, Boninfante said. They gathered for lunch in the Tech School s American Bounty Café, hosted by Freeholder Ralph Bakley, who is director of education for the board. Freeholder Director Dan Beyel and other county constitutional officers and freeholders spoke during the luncheon. Before the students arrived at the lobby, they had a chance to tour the county Public Safety Training Center. The open house lasted for an hour and half, (Page A6 Please) to write and illustrate books for some of the 40,000 Ugandan children, who flock to shelters in the safety of cities every night to escape nightly raids in their villages, Stein said.

WILDWOOD Dr. Steven Fenichel came to the city s April 25 meeting prepared to speak about his concern that the boardwalk rehabilitation project could come at the expense of the rainforest. And just in case the speech didn t get everyone s attention, he also brought a big stick, specifically a piece of black locust lumber. I remember you said that you wouldn t do anything to damage the rainforest, said Fenichel. And I have no reason to doubt that you re a man of your word. The black locust could be an alternative to rainforest wood, Fenichel said, as he handed the sample over to Mayor Ernie Troiano Jr. and City Engineer Marc DeBlasio for inspection. The black locust, he said, is a multi-purpose hardwood that is rated by the U.S. Forestry Service. The wood is yellowish in color, and is commonly used in construction since it is resistant to rot. If this wood does the job, I have no problem using it, said Troiano.

By CHRISTINE COTE CREST HAVEN The county s Farmland Preservation Program dodged a bullet last week in a conflict that seems to be brewing with the State Agricultural Development Committee (SADC). While the county program has long advised farmers to seek local subdivision approval to establish value, SADC may view such a step as simply an attempt to increase value, and not certify the county s purchase for that reason. Program Director Barbara Ernst told the Farmland Preservation Board April 23 that she had only received certification by the state committee for reimbursement on one of three development easements purchased by the county. If certified, the state would reimburse a portion of the funds expended by the county for the development rights. According to Ernst, the county s ability to preserve 2,751 acres over the past 16 years has been based on about 60 percent of its costs reimbursed by SADC.

Porter Thanked Student Heroes Who Saved Him after Accident By LAUREN SUIT WILDWOOD After a life threatening car accident, a number of surgeries and five months in recovery, Herbert R. Porter, 41, of Wildwood, returned to work. That accomplishment, in itself, is a miracle, said Mayor Ernie Troiano as he gave Porter, known as Herbie to his friends, a special proclamation at the city s April 25 meeting. Porter rose to shake the mayor and commissioner s hands to a resounding applause. The outcome of the accident might have been very different if three Wildwood Catholic High School students had not pulled up behind the scene on the night of Oct. 27, Porter s Chevrolet Blazer was reportedly struck when Gina N. Griffin, 30, of Warminster, Pa., lost control and crossed into the southbound lanes of the Garden State Parkway at mile marker 7.1, just after 11:30 p.m. Manuel Gonzalez, 16, Patrick Kelly, 16, and Dan McMichael, 17, all juniors at Wildwood Catholic, pulled Porter out of his vehicle to about 10 yards away, before the car was engulfed in flames. Porter suffered injuries to his legs, and was taken to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, City Campus. Griffin, a teacher in the Centennial School District in Pennsylvania, was pronounced dead at the scene by AtlantiCare Mobile Intensive Care Unit paramedics. These are not just my friends, Porter said of the three young men who saved his life, they are my heroes. Gonzalez accepted Porter s thanks on behalf of his fellow students.

An unmatched pension contribution for at 15,444, based on 10 percent of the 154,440 annualized salary figure will also be made. According to information provided by Dean Joseph Rossi, who is in charge of the campus here and labor relations for the college, salaries for community college presidents in the state range from 135,000 in Warren County to 263,000 for Essex County. Others below 150,000 include Cumberland, 146,900; Gloucester, 149,849; Salem, 136,342; and, Sussex, 147,451. Mercer County, which is somewhat larger in student enrollment than ACCC reports its presidential salary to be at 150,000, while Hudson County that is closer to ACCC on enrollment and other indicators sets its salary at 154,000. The remaining 10 colleges all pay above that figure with each school and its president s salary listed: Bergen, 186,000; Brookdale, 190,000; Burlington, 167,000; Camden, 165,000; Middlesex, 166,228; Morris, 162,000; Ocean, 175,000; Passaic, 169,289; Raritan Valley, 195,000; and, Union, 215,000. According to the salary resolution of the ACCC board adopted at the campus here last week, the increases given to Mora were based on the conclusion that his salary should be closer in parity with the average of the other southern New Jersey community college presidents.

This is the second year the school has Sabotage (From Page A1) what she believes are the best to send to SADC for approval. She explained that consideration was pending on the other two, but that SADC had referred her to a specific regulation that might prevent some of the county s eight pending applications from being certified. She told the board she expected to hear later in the week whether the other two would be certified. On April 27 Ernst told the Herald that she had been informed that they would be certifi ed, although she had not received written confirmation of that. But that decision did not completely alleviate the concern she had expressed to the board earlier in the week. The precise regulatory language worrying Ernst is: the board may disapprove an application if it determines that an applicant has initiated proceedings in anticipation applying to sell a development easement or during the application process which have the effect of increasing the applicant s appraised development easement value. One of the other topics at the April 23 meeting was to finalize a ranking system to provide the board a more objective method to decide which applications to fund first. Since it has long been the practice of the board to recommend that applicants file for subdivision approval to gauge a development value, she said it might be a mistake to rank properties based on whether they had obtained preliminary or final approval. She had explained as she read the regulation aloud that although it seems to give the board discretion, she is convinced that if an application were approved, despite circumstances within the language of that rule, the state would refuse to certify that application and reimbursement would be lost. While this rule has been around for quite awhile, Ernst explained with higher costs and competing money needs at the state level, SADC is just enforcing this regulation now. This discussion arose in the midst of an attempt by the board to fi nalize its own ranking system to consider eight applications it currently has before it. Ernst said this is the first time in the board s history it has had this many applications at once. She had reported to freeholders in March that the program, for the first time, was facing more applications by farmers than it could handle, and the waiting list may have resulted in missed opportunities. said Ernst. She said the division was creating a better system to eliminate all subjectivity in prioritizing funding applications. These farmers with pending applications were in the intermediate room for the discussion, and from the comments Joe Hart Dennis Township Primary School pupils listen to their teacher Sallyjeane Stein, standing center, as she explains how Dennisville Postmaster Frank Germana is preparing to send their Books of Hope to children in Uganda. taken part in the program. According to Stein, it s been a wonderful experience for the pupils and teachers alike. Contact Hart at (609) Ext 35 or at: jhart@cmcherald.com made seemed to think that by the time the night was over they would know where they ranked. Board chairman George Brewer agreed with Ernst the reason the program has been successful as it is because of money that comes back from the state. If we can t get money back it would be irresponsible Brewer said, to approve the eight applications for freeholder consideration. Ernst said that her conservative estimate of the price tag on these eight applications was about 17 million. The board has always recommended that a farmer go for approvals, said William Eisele one of the eight applicants. Brewer explained why: It s particularly important in Cape May county where there are wetlands, He said. You get a wetlands delineation with subdivision approval. He said that an appraiser gauging the property s value as a farm, and then establishing a value as developed, may not get a clear idea of what portion is developable without a wetlands delineation. The board acknowledged that money had been spent on approvals by some of the applicants and that many have been waiting two years to enter the program. You folks have come along during a time of transition, Brewer said. It s bad, said James Hazlett, a board member, without state money, we don t have any money. Values of land have gone up so high, it s hard to buy. I agree with you, I feel really bad, Ernst said. We re talking about a lot of money, 60 percent of 17 million is 10 million. Jenny Carleo, the county s agricultural agent, who serves as a non-voting member of the board, said she thought the language in the regulation was directed to those who want to manipulate the board, and I know our farmers aren t trying to manipulate. If we re really concerned about preserving farms, we should consider these eight, Carleo said. Ernst said she could not recommend going forward with them unless the board could make a good case to the freeholders and the public, that pays for this program through taxes, why they should be purchased if no state money will be forthcoming. Although the farmers were given some idea of where they were ranked compared to each other, no decisions were made on any of the applications. Ernst said she has set up a meeting with Freeholder Director Dan Beyel and two board members for next week to discuss the county s position in light of the state s decision to place more reliance on this regulation.

5 A5 Coachman Motor (From Page A1) The environmental commission did not receive a copy of an environmental assessment, until it was sent to DEP with a CAFRA permit application, after the planning board had approved the project. Sometime around 1870, the West Jersey Railroad constructed a train station at Grant Street and Beach Avenue referred to as Grant Street Station and Summer Station, since it was only open that time of year. It was a handsome stick-style skeleton of a building with open palisades of heavy timber allowing the sea breeze to pass through, according to Cape May, Queen of the Seaside Resorts, written by George E. Thomas and Carl E. Doeby. According to DEP Web sites, some historic railroad operations involved the use of chemicals along rail lines, including pesticides for weed control along tracks, such as lead arsenate; lubricating oil and grease that dripped from locomotives; coal ash from engines; and, creosote from railroad ties. An environmental assessment was prepared for Cape Coachman Holdings by GEI Consultants, of Pennsauken, and submitted to DEP as part of an application for a CAFRA permit in December The GEI report notes the West Jersey and Sea Shore Railroad system incorporated two sets of tracks, a small pass station perpendicular to Beach Avenue, a platform on opposite sides of the two tracks and curbed platforms surrounding the main platform. The railroad tracks were identified as being east of the existing Coachman s Motor (Inn) office and potentially within the footprints of the 64-unit, three story motel structure and Rusty Nail Bar and Grill Restaurant, said the GEI report. A railroad spur line ran onto the property as late as 1950, according to GEI. Cape Coachman Holdings requested and received a waiver for the requirement of an environmental impact statement from the planning board, citing the proposed project is a demolition and reconstruction of an existing hotel and restaurant and the site is 87.5 percent impervious. The proposed building is also a hotel and restaurant use with less units with a proposed 81.1 impervious area. Cape Coachman s application to the board noted, reducing the impervious area of the site should be of benefit, therefore, no additional environmental impact is anticipated. In its letter to DEP, the environmental commission questioned if that state agency would continue investigation of the Coachman property, and supervise demolition. The commission also asked if asbestos and lead-based paint in the motel created concerns for air contamination, and what was the specific remediation plan before and after demolition. GEI recommended sampling soils located with a swale, analyzed for potential contaminants generated from locomotives and historic fill. As early as July 25, 2006, Cape Coachman Holdings was aware of railroad-related contamination on the property, evidenced by a letter from GEI on that date to Bashaw. A Nov. 17, 2006 letter from GEI to Bashaw revealed contaminated soil was present on the property in excess of DEP s soil clean-up criteria from two soil borings. One soil boring identified concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), which comes from incomplete combustion of fuels such as coal and wood. Some PAHs are suspected carcinogens. A second round of soil borings were conducted on the Coachman site. A boring sample contained historic fill material used under tracks ash, cinders, and brick. The sample contained benzoanthracene, benzofluorathene and benzopyrene in excess of DEP standards, according to GEI s July 25 letter. GEI noted, Fill material found at the subject property should be treated as contaminated. GEI recommended further site investigations targeting PAHs in blocks 1019, lots 126 and 137, to delineate the lateral and vertical extend to contaminated historic fill within the paved area towards Coachman s Inn. GEI recommended remediation of soils on the property by either limited removal of dirt or capping known contaminants, or through a deed restriction of the property. It noted historical evidence has revealed locomotives used Poly Chlorinated Biphenyl (PCBs), and PAH in their operation. The report said materials found in the soil borings were contaminated and would need to be taken to a facility for disposal if removed from the Coachman property. The environmental commission s letter to DEP asked if benzene-based compounds pose runoff concerns in a flood prone area; if monitoring wells or fencing may be necessary; what corrective measures will be taken to protect the health safety of Cape Island Creek, Cape May, and the ocean; and, is the property swale contaminated? GEI s Nov. 17 letter to Bashaw said contaminants were found in the courtyard area of the motel. It recommended excavation and disposal of soil at that location. Based on GEI s limited site investigation/findings, the PAH impacted soils appeared to be confined within the Coachman Motor Inn s courtyard, said the report. The fill material will be excavated during the site improvement activities, stockpiled separately, and sampled to determine whether or not they need to be disposed of as hazardous material. That has been completed. Bashaw said he estimated 200 tons of soil was removed from the courtyard area. He told the Herald his group would be looking at the soil under the Rusty Nail after it is demolished and would remove it if necessary. Based on the soil borings, he said he did not believe any problems existed under the motel building. Jack Fichter Sandy area in Coachman Motor Inn s courtyard in Cape May on Beach Avenue excavated to remove contaminated soil from a former railroad spur. Vollmer Associates, landscape architects and engineers from Toms River, estimated cleaning up hot spots on the property, identified by two soil borings, would cost 15,000. Vollmer noted it would petition DEP for No further action for the soils at the subject property. Bashaw said he believed no further action would be asked for the courtyard. If borings locate more historic fill, it would be removed when the buildings come down, he said. Bashaw told the Herald, Jim Malanos, of Volmer, who conducted soil borings, would be on site during demolition. He said Malanos has been in constant contact with the DEP. The environmental commission s letter to DEP also questioned if disturbing the soil would be hazardous to runoff entering storm drains since the property is located in a flood-prone area. The commission asked if a list of remediation corrections would be available to the public, and what EPA permits may be needed? Bashaw referred the Herald to Malanos for questions about run off from the soil. Malanos referred the Herald to Cape Coachman Holding s attorney, Dottie Bolinski, of Drinker, Biddle of Princeton, who issued a written statement. The statement said Stantec is conducting an investigation, including soil sampling, and, as necessary, removal of historic fill material related to a former railroad spur within the courtyard of the Coachman's Motor Inn. The work is being done pursuant to DEP oversight and in accordance with the DEP's Technical Requirements for Site Remediation, and all other applicable requirements. Upon completion of the site work, Cape Coachman Realty LLC will ask the DEP to issue a No Further Action approval for the property. As of this date, such request has yet not been made, according to Bolinski. The property owner is taking an aggressive approach to any residual contamination related to the former railroad spur by excavating any historic fill material associated with the old railroad spur for proper off-site disposal, she wrote. Pursuant to its Technical Requirements, NJDEP would allow the historic fill material to remain on-site with an appropriate deed notice. However, Cape Coachman Realty LLC, despite the increased cost, has decided to move to a permanent soil remedy for any residual historic fill material in the courtyard associated with the former railroad spur, said her statement. Bashaw said additional borings were conducted last week but results were not available. We re cleaning up the site, he said. The environmental commission should be very happy with what we are doing there. Contact Fichter at (609) Ext 30 or at: jfichter@cmcherald.com MEMORIAL DAY TILL LABOR DAY OUR DAILY FEATURES

6 A6 County Gov t (From Page A1) and then the students were gathered together to meet with freeholders and county Administrator Stephen O Connor. Speculation is that this half hour session was to school the students, who were soon to play roles of those who normally take the dais at freeholder meetings, on what to say and when. Because, as these young folks asked questions, gave reports, read resolution titles from the agenda, and moved and seconded on cue, they looked like they d been doing it for a while. During a caucus meeting at 4 p.m., presentations were made by Shared Services Coordinator Bradley Rosenthal and Tourism Director Diane Wieland. When the regular meeting began at 4:30 p.m., other students got to take a turn at playing the roles of officials and staff. During both meetings, their real counterparts stood or sat close by to whisper directions or point out, literally, what needed to be said or done next. As he waited for students to get to the lobby that afternoon, Richard Colosi, an educator with the health department, said he thought this was a good opportunity for student leaders to understand how the community functions on the county level. Lunch was fabulous, according to Sarah Walsh, an 11th grader at Wildwood Catholic High School. She and Christine Cote Cheska Dietsch, left, as Freeholder Ralph Bakley; Derek Petrella, as Freeholder Leonard Desiderio; and Sarah Walsh, as Freeholder Director Dan Beyel, get ready for caucus meeting April 24, with Beyel and Desiderio standing by to assist. A photograph of all students participating in County Student Government Day can be found on page B3 in On Deck. schoolmate Morgan Visalli, another junior, were gathering all the handouts they could in big blue bags handed out by one department. We got to see all the departments that we didn t know existed, said Visalli. And now we re going shopping, she added, lifting her heavy bag a little higher and chuckling along with her friend. Walsh said that she found the day very informative and interesting, especially about government that we don t learn about. They were cast in Beyel s role, with Walsh doing the director s duties during the caucus meeting, and Visalli taking over for the regular one. Lochlan MacQueen, a Middle Township High School senior, also enjoyed the lunch. She said, It got us to know who s running the county. MacQueen sat in for Freeholder Gerald Thornton during the regular meeting. Her companion, Kristin Toth, also a Middle senior, thought the day was wonderful. We love it, she said with real enthusiasm. She was assigned to be Thornton during the caucus session. Brian Chojnacki, a history teacher from Ocean City High School, who was one of the chaperones, said this was his first time at this annual event. This kind of thing is great, he told the Herald. It s definitely a great thing for kids to have a chance to see the levels and layers of government, including the county. Asked how he thought he was chosen for the day, Samuel Allay, a senior at Cape Christian Academy said he believed it was based on overall grade point average. It s interesting, he said about the experience. I m learning a lot of stuff. His classmate, Kayla Shisler agreed and said, It s been really nice being able to meet everyone and learning about their jobs. Did they get the morning off from classes before coming to this event? No, said Shisler, adding that she d had to take a physics exam earlier. Allay played the part of Dale Foster, county engineer, and Shisler got to be County Counsel John Porto. Kimberly Player and JaLissa Johnson are both seniors at the county Tech School. They shared the role of O Connor, with Player getting the heftier job of having to read close to 60 resolution titles during the regular meeting. Player said she found the day very educational, and very informative. Asked how she felt about her school being the gathering point for all students and lunch that day, she said, It kind of makes you feel important. Johnson said she was learning a lot of stuff she didn t know about the county. For James Castorina, a junior at Ocean City High School, who prefers to be called Bubba, saw his participation as better than staying in school, and admitted that openly during his stroll through the open house as he portrayed Freeholder Leonard Desiderio during the regular meeting. But once in the midst of it, he said the day was very informative, and exceeded his expectations. I found out more about the county than I have learned in the past 16 years, he told the Herald. Derek Petrella, another Ocean City student, sat in for Desiderio at the caucus. Brandi Sanguinetti, a senior at Wildwood High School, who said she is planning on studying political science at the College of New Jersey after she graduates, was her school s sole representative. She sat in for Freeholder Ralph Sheets at both meetings. This is really neat, she said, I didn t know too much about county government before. This has exposed me to the departments and all they do. Amanda Parris, an 11th grader at Cape Educational Compact, who is also taking three courses at Atlantic Cape Community College this semester, echoed Christine Cote High School students stroll through lobby of county administration building April 24 to chat with department heads and constitutional officers as part of Student Government Day sponsored by the county Board of Freeholders. Sanguinetti s comments. I love it, Parris said. I m really interested in government and politics. She said she talked with Surrogate W. Robert Hentges at the open house about a personal estate matter, and he was able to give her information on the spot. It was really awesome, Parris said. Sean Barrett, also a Compact student, had to leave early before the meetings began. Cheska Dietsch and Virginia Clark, both students at Lower Cape May Regional High School shared the role of Bakley. Departments that participated in the open house were: parks, emergency management, communications, library, consumer affairs, tourism, health, mosquito control, culture and heritage, and animal shelter and adoption center. Constitutional offices of the clerk, sheriff and surrogate also had displays up for students, and Rutgers Cooperative Extension, along with the 4-H and the county agricultural agent had information available.

Windows STARTING AT JUST: CASH AND CARRY WILDWOOD City commission introduced its 24.1 million spending plan, with a 1.5-cent tax decrease on April 25. That means the local purpose tax rate would fall from last year s rate of 81.2 cents per 100 of assessed value to 79.7 cents. The total tax levy, or the amount to be raised by municipal taxes, is 14.8 million. The city s total tax rate, which includes municipal, county, open space, library and school taxes, is expected to be 1.51 per 100 of assessed value. Commissioner Kathy Breuss told residents in attendance that the budget, which came in less than last year s 24.8-million plan, was bare-bones. Breuss, who oversees the city s revenue and finance departments, said that the tax decrease was made possible by the 2.8 million surplus. Although Breuss said that budget was cut as much as possible, she noted that no city employees or services were cut. I don t believe we can cut employees, she said. I believe our employees are important to our city.

VINYL DOUBLE-HUNG WINDOWS BOW & BAY WINDOWS CASEMENT WINDOWS BASEMENT WINDOWS said that it is being done now, because the city is not waiting for last minute land sales or payments to support the budget. Last year the budget was delayed while the city waited for approval from the state for a payment from developer K. Hovnanian, which is working on developing the city s back bay and former landfill. The public hearing of this budget won t be heard before the city s May 23 meeting, according to the April 25 agenda. In another matter, Breuss said that another form of relief would be felt in the city. Specifically, from what feels like miles of hot sand. We re getting beach walkways, she said. The city had been criticized last year for doing away with the beach walks that many beachgoers relied on to help cross the sand terrain with baby carriages, coolers, wheelchairs and wagons in tow. Mayor Ernie Troiano Jr. said that the old walks were in deplorable condition as many had been run over. In order to prevent liability, the city removed the walkways. Troiano said that a county grant, totaling approximately 80,000, would go to fund the project. The state Department of Corrections, he said, would be constructing the wooden walkways. Troiano said that the project would cover walkways for nine street ends. The streets with piers will not have the walkways. They will be here in and in place by Memorial Day, said Troiano.

8 A8 Cape May Lewes Ferry Weekend Shuttle Service Now Available On Saturday & Sunday Enjoy A Ferry Ride, Then Take The Shuttles To Historic Lewes Or The Outlets Of Rehoboth. 7 days starting June 15th FERRY 3.5% Sales Tax Teitelman School Honors Coast Guard Mentors By CHRISTINE COTE ERMA Administrators, teachers and students from Lower Cape May Regional School district took time out April 26 to share a meal with mentors from the Coast Guard base in Cape May, who have shared their time with junior high school students. The United States Coast Guard Recognition Dinner was held in the media center of the district s high school, and after dinner, the six men and 10 women received certificates from the board of education during its meeting at its nearby office. The mentoring program, which pairs one Richard M. Teitelman School student with one Coast Guard volunteer, began in 2003, according to Gail Schmidtchen, a Teitelman guidance counselor who runs the program. But this is the fi rst year a dinner has been held to thank the mentors. Students and their families were invited, and sat with their mentors at dinner. Some mentors sat without students, since this event coincided with a school camping trip, but all seemed to enjoy each other s company as the otherwise quiet library was turned into dining room. Who is a mentor? To Schmidtchen, the answer, which she shared over dinner, is someone who is: Informed and experienced, has dealt with similar issues. Christine Cote The Media Center at Lower Cape May Regional High School became a dining room April 26, as members of the U.S. Coast Guard, who mentor students from the Richard M. Teitelman School, were treated to dinner. Trustworthy, privacy is paramount. Available, easily reachable and willing to meet on a regular basis. A good, gentle listener, able to understand a student s vulnerability and mind-set. Empathetic but objective, able to keep one s own emotions in check. A person who never dictates, someone who guides, but does not steer a student. A person who expects nothing in return, mentoring is a good deed. One mentor, Chief John Ryan, is no stranger to the district, since he is a graduate of the high school and his father is a Teitelman teacher. GM2 Gordon Leffel, on the other hand, is from Indiana and told the Herald he thinks the mentor program is great. Since he grew up in the Midwest, he said he s a bit old-fashioned and he thinks he brings some calm to the fast pace that confronts students today. Dinner here was a far cry from a recent excursion by LCDR Father Joe Coffey, who had just climbed Mount Kilimanjaro to support Volunteer Optometric Services for Humanity (VOSH). He said the money he raised through sponsors for his trip to Africa would help fund an eye clinic in Guatemala. He recently shared this travel experience with Teitelman 7th graders, Schmidtchen said. MK3 Aldomoro Nelson, CWO3 Gene Morrison, and CHS Travis Biggerstaff were the other male mentors honored. Seven of the women, who worked with Teitelman students as mentors, were part of a panel discussion for Women s History Month at that school March 30. They were HSC Pamela Robins, HS1 Gleyce Sciullo, HS3 Christie Moore, YN1 Stephanie Ann Fomby, YN2 Samantha Knapp, YN3 Amber Gott and YN Jennie R. Langley. HS2 Angel M.

9 A9 Global Warming May Take 240 Feet of Coastline By JACK FICHTER CAPE MAY If projections are correct, by the year 2100, this county s beaches will lose up to 240 feet due to rising sea levels and marshes between the mainland and islands will become open water from global warming and erosion. Susan Kurkowski, a graduate of New York University School of Law, where she concentrated on environmental law and authored two papers on global warming, gave a PowerPoint presentation to Cape May s Energy Committee April 26. She said global warming could increase the intensity of hurricanes and move the high tide line destroying dunes here. Kurkowski showed slides of Cape Hatteras, N.C. that lost its dunes from a combination of erosion from storms and sea level rise. The federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) projects sea level rise could lead to flooding of low lying property, loss of coastal wetlands, erosion of beaches, saltwater contamination of drinking water, and shortening the useful life of causeways and bridges. It notes the state s sea level is already rising by 15 inches per century and is likely to rise another 27 inches by the year Rising seas would inundate many acres of coastal salt marshes and tidal flats that provide flood protection and habitat for marsh plants. The rising ocean could inflict extensive damage to valuable real RIO NAILS & SPA Let us pamper you on your special day!

GLAUCOMA TREATMENT LASIK CO-MANAGEMENT CATARACT MANAGEMENT Roger A. Young, O.D. Doctor of Optometry Lic # 27OA Jack Fichter Susan Kurkowski shows projected effects of global warming on county s coastline by estate and beaches, according to the EPA. Kurkowski said the EPA cites a cost of 100 million to 500 million to protect a barrier island town like Long Beach Island with seawalls and additional sand. According to the EPA, rising global temperatures have added about two to five inches to sea level in the last century, but they could raise the sea level another one to three feet in the next century. Kurkowski quoted from a Princeton University report by Michael Oppenheimer on sea level rise on our coast that predicts a two to four feet rise in sea level. Two feet may not sound like much, but that is calculated on vertical rise, said Kurkowksi. She said that translates to a loss about of 240 feet of shoreline in a worse case scenario. The state would lose 90 miles of wetlands that are home to 24 endangered and threatened species, according to the Oppenheimer Report, said Kurkowski. She said, while Cape May s residents cannot control what the rest of the world is doing in relation to global warming, it can reduce its pollution levels that hasten climate change. Cape May Environmental Commission Chairwoman Charlotte Todd suggested Cape May become the greenest city in the state. Some say global warming is a global emergency, she said. I think we are up to that emergency, we are a very energetic people and town, and I think we deal with crisis s very well. Todd said when four drinking water wells became salty in the city; a Carl L. Hirshorn, O.D. Doctor of Optometry Lic # 27OA (609) BAYSHORE ROAD, VILLAS desalination plant was built to address the issue. Kurkowski offered suggestions for the city to lessen global warming: sign a mayor s agreement to reduce the city s emission levels 7 percent below 1990 levels, adopt land use policies that preserve open space, promote bicycle usage, and parking and traffic initiatives to cut down time of engines idling in town, and mandate the city use at least 20 percent renewable energy such as solar, wind, and wave power. Other goals include: the use of insulated windows, doors, energy efficient appliances and lights in all city-owned buildings, enacting green building codes on all new construction, replacing city vehicles with hybrids as cars wear out, increase recycling, promote tree planting and raise public awareness of conservation and global warming. During public comment, Pastor Jeff Elliot of Cape May Lutheran Church, suggested that windmills to generate electricity be placed offshore of the city. He said waterfront property owners in other towns objected to windmills that would be visible from the beach. Elliot, who is a former military chaplain and a Marine, said windmills would be located far enough offshore they would appear no larger than the mast of a sailing ship. Postal Employee Food Drive Slated on May 12 COURT HOUSE On Saturday, May 12, letter carriers in more than 10,000 cities and towns across America will collect non-perishable food items donated by customers and deliver them to local community food banks, pantries, and shelters as part of the 15th annual NALC Food Drive. Postal employees in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands will participate in the world s largest oneday food drive, which has resulted in delivery of over three-quarters of a billion pounds of donations to community food banks and pantries over the past 14 years. More than 115 million postcards will be mailed to customers in towns and cities throughout America letting them know how they can help. Customers who do not receive a postcard can check with their local post office to find out if it is participating in the drive this year. On Saturday, May 12, customers are asked to place non-perishable food items next to their mailbox before their letter carrier delivers the mail. The letter carrier will do the rest, taking the food to the post office where it is sorted and delivered to an area food bank or pantry. Adlai Stevenson: A diplomatʼs life is made up of three ingredients: protocol, Geritol and alcohol. We have Marines bleeding and dying in places for oil, he said. Every time I see a windmill, it looks so beautiful to me because that means less Marines bleeding and dying in places we are fighting for fossil fuels. Middle Township resident Robert Jackson, former mayor of West Cape May, suggested windmills could be placed behind barrier islands.

As a lifelong resident who built a successful city business while maintaining long term commitments to a number of charitable and community-based organizations benefiting the town, Laricks was the first candidate to announce a comprehensive election platform. To date, Laricks remains the sole mayoral candidate with a promise to serve in the role on a full time basis. Laricks cites a number of priority items for his first order of business if elected, the first of which being the activation of a transition team to help guide the city in this historic time - its segue into a new and bettersuited form of government. The team would work to immediately address concerns or problems, ensuring that the city doesn't skip a beat on July 1st when the new mayor and council members take office and also ensuring that residents will begin to see improvements right away. Laricks has also formulated a number of innovative and solid solutions and initiatives for the city for such areas as chronic street flooding, beach replenishment, back bay dredging, parking shortages, citywide beautification, long-term planning, and, most importantly, stretching the city's large budget without raising taxes. Additionally, Laricks tenure as mayor would also be marked with something many say is critical for the city at this time: communication. From council meeting broadcasts to a citizens advisory committee, Laricks will foster an open and interactive exchange of ideas and administer the day-to-day business of the city as only an effective leader can. It would appear that voting for Don Laricks for Mayor on May 8th means the end of burnt-out buildings, empty promises and uncompleted projects and the dawn of a new, bright and promising day for the residents of Sea Isle City. To learn more about his vision, voters are encouraged to visit or join Don at an open house with complimentary food, refreshments and music at the Yacht Club of Sea Isle City on May 6th from 4pm - 8pm. Ordered and paid for by the committee to elect Don Laricks, Mayor. William J. Gallagher, Treasurer

Located across the street from the Wildwoods Convention Center in Fox Park, the diner turned Doo Wop Museum, drew a crowd of baby boomers for a ribbon cutting and day of outdoor concerts from a newly constructed band shell on the rear of the museum. A bit of work remains to be completed inside the pinwheel shaped building including additional displays depicting the tourism heritage of the Wildwoods and a collection of neon signs from demolished Doo-Wop styled buildings outside. While the steel framework of the diner remains, a number of other portions of the building are new construction. A 1950s kitchen and living room is featured Jack Fichter Visitors to the grand opening of Wildwood s Doo Wop Museum April 28 examine 1950 s furniture, bicycles and illustrations of modern architecture. inside the museum along with bicycles suspended from the ceiling, illustrations on easels of Doo Wop architecture and old signs from Shumanns and the Polar Club. At one time or another you probably stopped in at the Surfside Restaurant, said Mayor Ernie Troiano Jr., dressed in a tie-dyed Sensational Sixties concert t-shirt. We are fortunate to be able to reclaim it through some people thinking about preserving the history of this community. The band shell will host concerts throughout the summer, said the mayor. Doo Wop Preservation League Treasurer Chuck Schumann thanked the Fox family for providing the site for the museum and the Byrne family for a donation that helped fund reconstruction of the building and Doo Wop Preservation League Founder Jack Morey for raising funds to disassemble and store the Surfside Diner in a warehouse in Schumann said a construction crew worked up until the very last moment to have the museum ready for its grand opening. How many of you doo wopped today? he asked. If you haven t this will be open in just minutes and you can experience our Doo Wop experience. Tommy John was the founder of the Surfside Diner. Troiano brought members of the John family onto the stage including Ruth Gotbolt who cooked in the restaurant for over 40 years. The John family presented a photo of Tommy to Doo Wop Preservation League President Dan McElrevey, who said the picture would hang in the museum.

On hand in the closed session with borough commissioners were Borough Attorneys Frank Corrado and Jen Russo, Engineer Ray Roberts, Kendra Lelie and Tom Scangarello of Planning and Design Collaborative, and Planning Board Chairman Gary Novak. It is believed a compromise will be reached for fewer dwelling units to be built on the site. In other business: commissioners appointed Elaine Wallace as borough clerk. Wallace was city clerk of Cape May from 2000 to She will be a part-time employee of the borough and not receive health benefits. She replaced Lisa Stefankiewicz who resigned to accept a position as deputy borough clerk of Stone Harbor. Stefankiewicz filed a torts claim against West Cape May claiming harassment. Like neighboring Cape May, the borough may have trolley service this summer. While trolley tours have ambled through West Cape May in past years, this trolley would act as a bus service making several stops around the borough. Mayor Pamela Kaithern YANKEE CANDLE a passion for fragrance TM lilac blossoms sheer gardenia TM greenhouse BUY 1, GET 1 Jack Fichter ELAINE WALLACE said the West Cape May Business Association has requested trolley service operating seven days a week with scheduled runs at 1, 3, 5, 7 and 8:30 p.m. from June 30 through Sept. 2. Kaithern said the borough has an ordinance that prohibits commercial vehicles over four tons on any streets in the borough other than county-owned roads. She said the ordinance could be amended to allow trolley service. Kaithern questioned if the trolley service would require a route permit from the state. The service would be operated by Great American Trolley/Five Mile Electric Railway, which is operating similar service in Cape May and a number of other beach towns this summer. Cost to the business association is about 8,000, said Deputy Mayor Dick Rigby. Commission introduced two ordinances to fund the installation of remote water meters, which have the capability of being read from the public works building. Roberts said the remote 50 % OFF 526 Washington Street Mall Open Daily 10am-5pm Fri. & Sat. til 9pm 3137 Rt. 9 South, Rio Grande Open Daily 10am-5pm water meters could be up and running in six months. He said most of the work on borough hall to make it handicapped accessible is completed. The borough is seeking estimates for installing lighting at the rear of building in the area of the farmer s market for handicapped accessibility. Some funds remain from a grant. Roberts said repaving on Sixth Avenue would soon start, which would remove a number of patchwork repairs. He said vegetation that has overgrown the road would be cut back. The state Department of Transportation has approved using funds originally earmarked for paving Sees Alley to create a bike path on Park Boulevard, which will include sidewalks on the west side of the street. Roberts said he and Commissioner Dick Rigby would walk the street to assess the scope of the project. The project should start in the fall. An amendment was introduced to the borough s dog licensing ordinance raising fees from 7.20 for a spayed or neutered dog to and fees for unneutered dogs from, 18 to 21. The borough was losing money selling dog licenses at the old rates since part of the fee is sent to the state, said Kaithern. Commission passed a resolution authorizing issuing a request for proposals to conduct a feasibility study for merging the municipal courts of West Cape May, Cape May Point, and Cape May City. The study will be paid for by a 15,000 grant with a 1,500 local co-pay.

12 A12 (From Page A1) Nichols said, but social life is lacking. We should think about a student lounge, she added, and Sasso agreed, showing the board a 30-signature petition to support their request. People leave in a rush, Nichols said, there is no where to sit. For those who want to relax between classes it would be nice to have somewhere to talk, she added. Sasso, an ACCC student since graduating Lower Cape May Regional High School in 2005, told the board, We know things take time. We acknowledge our customers and are pleased you are here, ACCC President Peter Mora told the young women. A center was not part of the master plan but a minor improvement might provide some space, Mora said, as he asked Joseph Rossi, dean of this county s campus to address the students request. The good news, Rossi said, is that preliminary discussions with the campus engineer had led to a decision to reconfigure a conference dining room that is behind the cafeteria area into a student life center. The area is to the far left on the first floor the college. Organizations have been using the space for meetings, Rossi told the Herald. A ping-pong table has already been donated, and a S.

Boardwalk Wood (From Page A1) port emergency equipment, such as ambulances and fire engines. I want to build a boardwalk that lasts, he said. The pine that has been used might have only been up there for a few years, he said, but it looks 30 years old. Troiano said he had looked at approximately 10 or 12 other alternative woods, but everything foreign had come from the rainforest. According to Fenichel s calculations, if the city were to replace 42,000 board feet with rainforest wood, approximately 832 acres of rainforest would be logged. He suggested recycled plastic as another alternative, but Troiano said he had been warned about the material heating up, and making it difficult and painful for tourists to enjoy a summertime stroll. Currently the bids for the project are under review by the city engineer and solicitor. Once those bids are reviewed and accepted, the document will be sent to the U.S. Department of Agriculture for review and authorization to award. DeBlasio said he expects to come forward with a bid recommendation in the near future. The actual construction is scheduled to begin in October of this year. The project has been under scrutiny from environmental groups since Tim Keating, executive director of Rain- ACCC Students forest Relief, said he viewed specifications for the decking that called for ipe hardwood back in August Keating said that without an independent third party to certify the wood, he feared that use of rainforest wood would be unavoidable. Ipe, according to Keating, is not from plantations and only grows in densities of about one or two trees per acre. Keating estimated that loggers must log an entire acre of forest just for nine board feet of exported ipe. According to Keating, the third party certificate issued by Mallinckrodt Gmbh, an independent inspection and grading agency, could not accurately attest to the fact that the materials are obtained under controlled conditions that guarantee the preservation of the forests. Mallinckrodt can only attest to the grade of the wood, he said. Basically they just check to make sure the paperwork is there. Fenichel told city commissioners that when one encounters a problem they could either walk away from it or take it head on, and the conservation efforts for the rainforest isn t something that he can walk away from. We have the opportunity to do the right thing here, he added. Contact Suit at: (609) ext. 25 or lsuit@cmcherald.com design for the reconfiguration of the area is in the works. It should be ready by the fall, Rossi said. The ladies are right. What started out historically as a store front, Rossi said, is now a place where students want to hang out. It s a new experience for Cape May County students to loiter, but the library here is great, Rossi said. Both students agreed with him on that point. This is just the first step to meet the needs of students. Rossi said they are looking closely at what is available for social activity. Next year may bring some clubs to this campus, Rossi said, between efforts by faculty and staff, and members of the local community. A larger student gathering area may also be on the near horizon, if it works out that a plan to build six additional classrooms evolves into a student and conference center with fewer classrooms, Rossi said. He said the existing building project included a contingency for a six-pack of six classrooms off the west wing. He said the board has also been generous in its budget to allow this campus to double the soft furniture to provide additional seating on the second floor. He said he has noticed more students congregating there during the day.

Except for Nadir Muslim, who was discovered trying to scrap his way out of the county Correctional Center April 12. Muslim, 42, formerly of East Lena Street in Whitesboro, has been an inmate at the county facility here since July 15, 2006, waiting to be sentenced on a charge of failing to register as a sex offender, according to Warden Richard Harron. The warden told the Herald last week that corrections officers had received information of possible weapons in a housing unit where Muslim was being held. If the officers find a claim of weapons on the premises to be credible, Harron said, standard procedure is to search all the cells in that unit. Muslim was being housed in a cell of his own in that unit, and when officers searched it they discovered mortar had been removed from between the blocks in the wall, Harron said. The officers also found several weapons and implement to assist in Muslin s escape in his cell, according to the warden. Apparently not wanting to limit his options, Muslim was working on two walls, one that would have led to the outside, and one that would have led into another interior area. All the weapons and implements were confiscated, said Harron, and Muslim has now been charged with criminal intent to remove himself from a detention center and for weapons. The attempted escape charge carries an additional five year sentence, he added. There is also a repair order in place to replace what Muslim chipped away, Harron said. Muslim, who has a history of sexual assault and robbery, has been administratively separated from the rest of the center population, Harron said. No one has escaped from the facility since the late 1980s, according to Harron. He came to the county Sheriff s Department in 1984 as an officer. That escape by two men was successful, but authorities recaptured them. How did they get out? They chiseled away at their wall, Harron said.

Celebrant for the Mass will be Rev. John O Leary, pastor of Our Lady of the Angels. Members of the Middle Township Police, fire and rescue quads are requested to be in uniform and to assemble in the church parking lot at 4:30 p.m. Family and friends are invited to attend. Refreshments will follow the service. Asphalt Plants (From Page A1) the manufacture of explosive or volatile chemicals including acetylene gas, acid and asphalt. Other towns with similar measures were Upper Saddle River, Manalapan and Paramus. Alessandrine said Dennis Township already prohibits certain uses in its zoning code including trailer parks, incinerators, landfills, junkyards, toxic waste dumps and sand mining operations. Current sand mines in the township, including the Pierson site, are allowed because they existed before mining was prohibited. Asphalt plants would be added to that list as part of the ordinance, Alessandrine said. Residents most recently voiced their concerns about the plant at a township zoning board meeting April 25. The zoning board tabled five other applications and focused entirely on the asphalt plant project, but did not finish hearing testimony from witnesses or other interested parties before it stopped the proceedings due to the late hour. By 11 p.m. that night, the board and audience of around 200 had only heard from half of the applicant s professionals. The board said it would reconvene the hearing on May 23. But since that night and in light of the committee s possible zoning change, the zoning board sent notice to the public that it will hold a special meeting tomorrow night to discuss that change. The April 25 meeting related to use variance requests from Pierson to add a recycling center as well as concrete and asphalt plants to a site where a sand and gravel mining operation already exists in Ocean View. The zoning board previously granted those use variances at a moderately attended meeting in January. Following that hearing, an anonymous letter circulated among township residents pointing out numerous, alleged problems that could result from allowing an asphalt plant to open in the area. As a result, there was a large response from neighbors of the site against the proposed project. On Feb. 28, the board rescinded its use variance approval after discovering a discrepancy in applicant s required notification to neighboring property owners. Pierson sent out new notices, and the hearing was rescheduled. Weeks before the hearing, the Herald was invited to tour the site and meet with Pierson s Sales Manager Pete Kalksma. He said the plant would be built with the cleanest, safest, most modern technology available. Kalksma wanted the public to know that Pierson wants to be a good neighbor to the residents of Dennis Township. We will bring good jobs for residents and rateables to the township, he said. At last week s zoning board hearing, the applicant s attorney James Pickering called four witnesses, including asphalt equipment supplier Jeffrey Meeker, two professionals from the engineering and surveying company Gibson Associates, and site manager Curt Mitchell. Mark Gibson, the project surveyor, said he was extremely familiar with the site. He personally surveyed the 170-acre site for its former owners and had been on the property numerous times since the 1980s to help recertify the property for its mining operation. The site is particularly well suited for the proposed uses, Gibson said. The area where the plants are planned to go is around 14 or 15 acres centrally located on the site. Attorney Robert Sandman cross-examined Gibson on behalf of Resort Country Club Campground, which is located just behind the site. He asked Gibson if he had read the project s traffic survey and environmental impact report. When Gibson replied that he had, Sandman asked how he was able to give his opinion that the site was particularly well suited in January, when the traffic and environmental reports were not done until recently. Sandman and an attorney for former Mayor Georgeann Pettit and Gerald A. Barrett Inc., continued to question the remaining witnesses after they finished their presentations. Barrett is Pierson s mining competitor from across Woodbine-Ocean View Road. Residents already disgruntled from being hot and sticky, in the uncomfortably close quarters in the standing-room-only forum became upset when the attorneys monopolized the quickly evaporating time left in the meeting. Another lawyer? someone called out. We want a chance to talk. At the end of testimony, Board Solicitor John Ludlam said the board would try to find a larger room to hold the continuation of the hearing on April 25, possibly the elementary school. Then everyone will have a chance to voice their concerns and hopefully be more comfortable, he said. Pastor Challenges Youth To Make Lifestyle Changes By LAUREN SUIT WILDWOOD Stop. Look. Listen. Those simple commands held special meaning during early childhood education, whether it came to crossing the street or paying attention in class. Reverend James R. Hatch Sr., outreach coordinator at the Eureka Baptist Church, located on Spencer Avenue here, said he also hopes those words can inspire people of any age to make drastic changes in their life. Hatch, who has been working with Pastor Willie L. Johnson Jr. on the church s youth program for the last 20 years, told the Herald April 26 that he had dusted off and circulated an old flyer that he had used in 1995 and 1996, when, he said, the community was especially hard hit by violence and drug use. Stop (the violence). Look (what s happening). Listen (God loves you), was written on the flyer. It s time to say no more! Even though times are better here now, the message remains the same, Hatch said. Especially considering the recent outbreaks of violence that has happened in the nation. Hatch said he considers the message a challenge to young people. If they can stop what they are doing, whether it is dealing with drugs or alcohol, look at what is going on around them and then listen to their heart, because God is really talking to their heart, he said. That is the challenge. Once they really listen that God loves them, they realize that they don t have to go this way, he added. That path to avoid, he said, is one of guns, drugs, alcohol, promiscuous sex and gambling. Hatch said that the first time he circulated the stop, look and listen message in the 90s, the community responded positively. At that time, the area was getting heavily influenced by gangs, he said. And of course, drugs have always been around. At that time, the drastic increase in violent crimes, including the rape and murder of a few victims that Hatch had ministered to, spurred the youth ministry program into action. He said that especially in the area of Commissioners Court, the citizens got involved in-group clean-up projects and youth orientated events. While the Wildwood of today does not face the same level of crime and violence as it did in the 90s, Hatch maintains that the message is timeless and hopes that three familiar words might steer someone in the right direction. We re always trying to reach out and be interactive, he said, using the church s Wednesday evening rap sessions as an example. Although Hatch said the number varies depending on school and family commitments, the group draws about 10 young people each week. The church s youth ministry also offers kids the opportunity to join a praise dance team, take swimming classes, participate in a drama group, and enjoy movie nights and picnics. Children can participate in the program up till age 19 and then, Hatch said, they normally join the young adult group. Hatch, along with the help of Timothy and Katrina Johnson, supervise the children. The program, he said, relies heavily on parents prayers, help, support and participation.

Natalie Bailey, who teaches cooking classes at the center, which is located next to borough hall on Dune Drive, dished up the fare as the eight honored women chatted with officials and staff. The menu was broccoli mascarpone soup, grilled garlic bread, lasagna rollups with Italian meatballs, chopped salad with Dijon vinaigrette dressing, blueberry swirl cheesecakes, and decaf coffee, peach iced tea and lemonade to drink. Bailey displayed this information so that all would know what they were enjoying. Her list didn t include the fresh strawberry and dab of baked meringue she added to each dessert plate, along with the petite cheesecakes. Mayor Martin Pagliughi thanked the women and told them the actual fabric of the town is volunteerism, and said each are worth your weight in gold. Along with the thanks for all the volunteers, special words were directed at Nancy Moriarty, who has taught bridge at the center since it opened in the early 1990s.

As she accepts her tiny bucket with a bit of beach sand, Mayor Martin Pagliughi looks on. Pennsylvania. In addition to small gifts and fl owers all received, Councilman Joseph Tipping gave Moriarty one of the plastic beach buckets with a bit of Avalon sand that are usually given brides and grooms as souvenirs. Tipping said he thought she should have a bit of Avalon to take with her when she moves. Moriarty said she has probably taught over 100 people to play bridge over the past 16 years. Two of them are Theresa Montgomery and Sandy Burns, who are both volunteers as well. Burns said she never played before Moriarty taught her, and now she is taking over and will teach the intermediate class on Thursdays from 9:30 to noon all year round. We have had 40 some in a class in the summer, Burns said. It s open to anybody. We ve had people come from Cape May, and other towns, Moriarty said. Beginners can learn from Montgomery on Fridays from 9 to 11:30 a.m. Mary Hudak will be starting her second season of teaching Mah Jongg on May 7. She has cards and games for beginners, but said that some bring their own. Last year she had 20 women who showed up regularly, Hudak said. She lived in Avalon years ago, and after living out of state has moved back to Swainton. She said she plays Mah Jongg in Florida in the winter, and decided to start a group here. Sue Jacobson s knitting group is not just about fun. They meet once a month on the fourth Tuesday from 1 to 3 p.m. and make lap robes, shawls and baby Shriners Plan Set Screenings For Children WILDWOOD CREST Crescent Shrine Center will hold a hospital screening for Shiners Hospitals for Children from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday at the Hereford Masonic Lodge, 6300 Atlantic Ave. The mini clinic is free of charge. It is open to all children under 18 years of age. To schedule an appointment parents should call Shriner Michael Caputo at For further information, call Shriner Bob Polis at things for borough residents who need them. We knit things for charity, Jacobson said. She has 10 in her group and would welcome more. Some of their work is given to cancer and dialysis patients. Joanna Evans is the center s piano teacher. Her class is over for the year, and will start again in September. She has taught people at different levels, but plans to start from ground zero this fall, she said. She can take as many students as fit in the room, and each brings a portable keyboard. Doris Griffiths is a painter who has served as the center s art facilitator for the last couple years, she said. Every Tuesday from 9:30 a.m. until noon any adults interested in art are invited to join. Everyone does their own thing, Griffiths said. And for those who want to learn Spanish, Jeanne Sykes, who taught the language at Middle Township High School for 40 years, is a happy to oblige. Lessons are given every Wednesday from 9:30 to 11 a.m. Conversational Spanish is her main goal, but Sykes said she does teach grammar because verbs are difficult. Jacobson made a point that all the women wanted to emphasize: just because their programs are held at the senior center they are not just for seniors. Any adults are welcome to join in the learning and the fun. Others at the luncheon were Councilman Charles Covington, Administrator Andrew Bednarek, Police Captain David Dean, Public Works Director Harry de Butts, and Recreation Director David Haberle. Sue Keen, the mayor s secretary and assistant, who gets the credit for keeping the senior center up and running was also there to make sure everything went smoothly. P.O.

This suspicion was confirmed when English researchers at Canterbury Hospital looked into the possible link between psychological challenges and stubborn skin problems. The researchers based their findings on the experiences of 64 patients with problems ranging from prurigo (blotchiness) to psoriasis (itchy red lesions). Hour-long meetings with therapists revealed that 44 of the patients were able to identify traumatic events (death, divorce, etc.) that occurred at about the same time as their skin problems appeared. More importantly, 40 of the patients saw their rashes disappear soon after their therapy sessions. This is a factor that dermatologists must take into account. I am proud to have been helping the residents of our community with their skin care needs for many years. At my practice, we offer a wide range of services a person searching to keep his or her skin healthy, and looking good can rely on.

Wildwood is a wonderful community full of great people and opportunities, but we have problems with our city s government and how the town is being run. Despite a building boom, the past eight years has only brought a steady increase in taxes and additional fees to property owners and businesses. One must ask Where is all the money going from all the new ratables? The current administration has no solution on how to lower taxes. Instead, they have depended on a. Tax, spend and Tax em Again Policy. During the past four years Wildwood Commissioners have... Tripled Property Taxes on Older Properties. Increased Various Mercantile Taxes. Added New TDC Tax on Rental Condos and Apts. Raised Water Rates 34% Increased the City s Budget Over 10 Million Increased the City s Debt Service Over 23 Million When Elected Budget & Taxes I will put an end to the Tax, Spend and Tax em Again Policies of the current administration by working to reduce the city s budget, control spending, eliminate wasteful practices and develop more shared services with our sister communities on the island. Voting Opportunities I will insure that the residents have more opportunity to vote on key issues and projects before their tax dollars are spent. Residents should also have the opportunity to vote on major changes to the city s master plan that could affect the quality of life in the town. Governmental Checks & Balances It s time to restore the checks and balances that promote good government, sound policy making, control spending and restore trust in our government. I will insure that there is a voice that will question decisions to insure sound judgment, governmental policies and agendas. I will also insure that the public has more voting opportunities to keep elected officials in check to the wants and needs of the community. Marine Biologist & Environmental Educator For 20 years I have worked to clean up and protect our coastal waters. This work has help bring about the end of ocean dumping of contaminated sediments and sewage sludge off New Jersey s shoreline. Most recently, the dumping of treated VX-nerve agent was stopped from being dumped in the Delaware Bay. I have been twice sited as a Hometown Hero for my conservation efforts. I have also been a key speaker at local, national and international conferences. Commissioners Lie Again! In their campaign ad it states The Department of Environmental Protection has given their SEAL OF APPROVAL to world class hotels in Wildwood. This is a FACT! This is an absolute LIE and further demonstrates that Wildwood elected officials cannot be trusted and will say anything to get re-elected. The NJDEP has not approved any CAFRA permits for Wildwood high-rise projects. In fact the NJDEP sent a letter with numerous requirements and changes, including there must be public approval for this kind of development. I urge everyone to call the NJDEP to see who is telling the truth. Ask if there has been any CAFRA permits approved for high-rise projects in Wildwood. It seems that there are two set of rules in Wildwood. One set of rules for friends and contributors to the elected officials and one set for the rest of the community. Residents march to Mayor Troiano s house to protest the increase in taxes after he is a no show at City Hall. Honest & Respectful Government It has been a disgrace how Wildwood officials treat those that have different views than their own. People are fearful of reprisals for speaking at commissioners meeting. I will welcome your input on how the city is being run and will be open to ideas that may be different from my own. I promise not to insult or intimidate those that come and speak at commissioners meetings. Time For New Leadership! For nine months Commissioners allow an illegal dumpsite to operate across from City Hall... Your neighborhood could be next! Paid for by Committee to Elect Totah

WOODBINE, NJ Cape Express Begins Another Season Few organizations in mid- to southern Cape May County get their kicks from nearly year-round activities more than the venerable Cape Express Soccer Club. More than 250 children and countless volunteers make learning and excelling at the game of soccer a perennial joy. Despite its relatively small size, Cape Express competes effectively throughout South Jersey and beyond with squads ranging from U-8 through U-16. Cape Express sends fundamentally sound and prepared athletes into high school programs with a paid professional training staff and paid coaches at the U-16 boys and girls levels, respectively. All other Cape Express officers, coaches, and helpers are volunteers. The organization maintains reasonable membership fees thanks to two monstrous annual fundraisers: The late June Beach Blast in Wildwood and the Columbus Day extravaganza known as the Platt Memorial Tournament. Cape Express floods southern Cape May County with 20,000 visitors for these events and the group coordinates everything from hotel rooms to lining grassy fields with the proper measurements. Mike Hickman, a nineyear Express volunteer, is the Express s director of public relations. He s on reminding busy coaches to send in the names of players who deserve recognition for their efforts. Hickman refers inquisitors to the impressive Web site at Capeexpress. com for more information about the goings on. This winter s seasonending banquet drew nearly 500 children and GAMES PEOPLE PLAY By Joe Rossi parents to the Wildwoods Convention Center. The throng brought goods for donation to the local food bank, which capped off another truly remarkable season of giving back to the community. Cape Express is based at the Davies Sports Complex in Goshen and with strong support from Middle Township and other communities, they re able to operate successfully with a 12-member board of directors which turns over six positions each year. Hickman noted that teams from U-10 on down do not keep official scores but focus on the effort and teamwork of the children. U-11 on up starts a more competitive brand of soccer, although all squads work twice weekly in 90- minute sessions with the paid training staff. Hickman estimated that 75 percent of the Cape Express teams play in upper division traveling soccer divisions, a remarkable number for a relatively smaller club. With children so consumed by technology and many other extra-curricular activities these days, how does Cape Express hold their attention so well? We try to stay organized and keep it fun for everyone, said Hickman. I tell my team that the fall season is mine. I realize that they ll have dance or softball in the spring and we work around the hectic commitments. Cape Express operates under New Jersey Youth Soccer guidelines. There are detailed and organized practices with professionals. Coaches and board members are well versed in working with children.

19 A19 NASCAR Nation Gordon Passes Earnhardt with Talladega Win By BRUCE KNOLL, JR. Restrictor plate races are always a toss-up. Someone could come in dominating the series, and could go out with a last place fi n- ish. While at most races the experts will pick some of the same drivers, at restrictor plate tracks, there s rarely ever a duplicate choice. Qualifying is usually a toss-up as well.

Maybe not the pole position of Jeff Gordon, but of the surprisingly high runs by David Gilliland in second, Sterling Marlin in fourth, Kenny Wallace in sixth, and Boris Said in 11th; along with the unseasonably-low times of Tony Stewart in 32nd, Dale Earnhardt Jr. in 36th, Kevin Harvick in 41st, and Jeff Burton in 42nd.

Rio Grande We install & Service Everything We Sell! familiar face in victory lane Jeff Gordon. Gordon took the lead late and was leading at the time of the several wrecks on the second to last lap that forced the race to end under caution. At first, Gordon was unsure if he had won the race, coming on the radio and repeating Is it over? Did we win? But NASCAR soon declared Gordon the victor. And with the declaration came the debris. No, not from the frying tires of a burnout, but items from the hands of disgruntled Dale Earnhardt fans who were upset with Gordon s record-breaking victory. With the win, Gordon moved out of a tie with Earnhardt for sixth place on the all-time NASCAR wins list. Fans littered the track with debris, mostly beer cans, in the direction of the number 24 Chevrolet despite being warned by track officials upon entering that all those seen throwing items onto the track would be arrested. Riots broke out in the grandstands, and the chaos got so intense that NAS- CAR had to send security officials to escort Gordon s spotter out of the top of the grandstands and to safety. I never caused a riot before for winning well, maybe once or twice, but nothing like this, Gordon said. I thought Junior had more power. I thought they d throw toilet paper, which is what he asked them to throw (Earlier in the week Earnhardt Jr. had addressed his fans and stated that if they must throw something, that it would be rolls of toilet paper rather then beer cans to respect the safety of Gordon). I saw maybe one roll. There are a lot of fans out there who are Earnhardt fans who don t want to see (the record) broken. I appreciate the enthusiasm... the opinions of all the fans out there. What are you going to do? Jimmie Johnson finished second, followed by Kurt Busch in third, Jamie McMurray in fourth, and Tile Coping Pavers Earnhardt Jr. rounding out the top five. Martin Truex Jr., a New Jersey native, finished 10th after running with the front pack for most of the day. Other notable fi nishes included Kevin Harvick in sixth, David Gilliland in seventh, Ryan Newman in ninth, Kyle Petty in 12th, Sterling Marlin in 14th, Jeff Green in 16th, Jeremy Mayfield in the highest finishing Toyota in 22nd, Kenny Wallace in 26th, Boris Said in 27th, Tony Stewart in 28th, Juan Pablo Montoya in 32nd, and Jeff Burton in 34th. Busch Series: Bobby Labonte was Tony Stewart s mentor at Joe Gibbs Racing when the two were teammates when Stewart made the switch from the CART Open Wheeled-Series to NASCAR in Labonte taught him everything about racing, especially on the restrictor plate tracks. It looks like Labonte forgot to show him a move. Bobby Labonte pushed Tony Stewart to the lead on the green-white-checkered finish in the Aaron s 312 Busch Series race on Saturday, then made the move on Stewart just before the finish line to win at Talladega super speedway. I just had a run on Tony, Labonte said. I just stayed glued to his rear bumper. This is cool. The motor just blew up. It was pegged at 240 (degrees) the last two laps. Stewart was very excited following his second place finish. That s an awesome finish, he said. If it weren t for him, we weren t going to get there anyway. He pushed me for two solid laps to get there. I have to admit I didn t see him coming. I was laughing when I looked over there and saw him going by. That s the most excited I ve ever been by a secondplace finish. David Ragan finished third, followed by Kyle Krissiloff in fourth, and Kevin Harvick rounding out the top five. Martin Truex Jr. made a rare Busch AtlantiCare Sets Stroke Assessments EGG HARBOR TOWN- SHIP AtlantiCare will offer free stroke assessments May 8 in observance of Stroke Alert Day in the following locations: Atlanticare HealthPlex, 1401 Atlantic Ave. Atlantic City 9 a.m.-11:30 a.m. Pleasantville Recreation Center, 400 West Brighton Ave. 9 a.m.-11:30 a.m. Atlanticare Life Center, 2500 English Creek Ave., 1-3:30 p.m. The assessments are one of many activities AtlantiCare will hold May 8 to create awareness of stroke symptoms and the dialing of 911.

Denis Diderot Series start, but was caught in early trouble and finished 41st. Truck Series: With a victory in Kansas, Mike Skinner would have sole possession of the record of consecutive victory with four. Instead, another driver broke a milestone. Erik Darnell dominated the O Reilly Auto Parts 250, leading 92 of 167 laps and beating second place finisher Rick Crawford by seconds. It feels awesome, said Darnell. We ve been trying so hard and we ve been so close so many times, and I haven t been able to pull it off. Today, we were finally able to put all of the pieces together and then fi nish this thing. Skinner sat on the pole for the race, but had trouble early and fought his way back to a fifth place finish. Coming in here, we would have been tickled to death with a top-five finish or a top-10 finish, for that matter and to lead a lap, he said. After practice, we felt like we had the truck to beat. Erik just drove a better race today. Crawford fi nished second, followed by Jack Sprague in third, Johnny Benson in fourth, and Skinner in fifth.

Director Barbara Ernst informed the board that Timothy Rizzo had filed an application to donate Lots 18 and 19 of Block 370, each 50 by 100 feet, in Tuckahoe that once belonged to his parents, now deceased. She said this was the first request for a straight out donation, and we don t have a policy for that. The total parcel is small, 5,000 square feet, she said, but it still requires the same amount of work to process the application. It is located near Route 50 on a paper street and is surround by undeveloped property owned by Upper Township, Ernst said. The application states it is in fair condition, and that the applicant was told it was pinelands and wetlands. It is near other open space, the Delanzo tracts in that block purchased by the county in Upper Township was given management of the Delanzo property, Ernst said. For these reasons, the board agreed that these added lots were suitable for preservation under the program. It s completely vegetative and forested, Ernst said.

François La Rochefoucauld it, but it was too dense. County Planning Director James Smith, who is a member of the board, showed photos of the parcel as viewed from Route 50, with trees right up to the side of the road. That s as close as we could get. We couldn t get in there, Smith said, and wouldn t know where it was (the 5,000 square foot parcel) if we went in. It s unbuildable, Ernst said. That s about as good as it gets. She told the board she would like to establish a policy for accepting donated parcels, because she gets phone calls about it. Since the recent revals, we ve had numerous phone calls. Ernst said. If these parcels are acquired that leaves only six lots in this block that are not Upper Township or county owned. What about acquiring the other adjoining lots? asked Quinn. Should I solicit donations in that block? Ernst asked. Quinn and Freeholder Director Dan Beyel, who is also a member of the board, answered in the affirmative almost simultaneously. Ernst told the Herald Rizzo s application had been referred to county counsel to determine what needed to be done to close the deal.

For more BETTING THE FARM(HOUSE SINK) Farmhouse, or apron-front, sinks are currently very popular due to their wide basins, exposed aprons, and oldfashioned flavor. However, before you decide to include one in your new kitchen plans, you should be aware of their design limitations. For instance, a farmhouse sink requires either a tile-in or an under-mount installation, both of which leave at least some of the sink s rim visible, and neither of which works with certain materials (such as laminate). In addition, most farmhouse sinks feature single-basin designs, which may pose limitations to some families. The good news is that more double basin models are appearing on the market. In any case, farmhouse sinks require faucets with spout/sprayers that can reach their large expanses.

Abnormal color vision varies from only a slight difficulty distinguishing among different shades of the same color to the rare inability to perceive any colors. An estimated 8% of males and fewer than 1% of females have difficulty with color vision. While most types of color vision problems are present at birth, some color vision problems are not due to heredity. For instance, due to agerelated darkening of the eye lens, older adults may have trouble discerning one color from another. In some cases, using specially tinted lenses may help to distinguish colors. Are you suffering with color vision deficiency?

22 A22 Herald Honors Zelnik in Celebrating Retirement Al Campbell, left, Joan Nash, Dean Joseph Rossi Zelnik And Wife Pat Admire Lobby Poster Joe Zelnik Story Movie Poster Patricia Hall, Left, With Pat Zelnik Gary Rudy With A Fake Gift From Mike Voll Gary Rudy Displays Historic T-shirt Janet Seitz Wears Her Sentiment AVALON At the invitation of Publisher Art Hall, the Herald family and friends gathered at the Golden Inn here on Dune Drive April 22 to honor Editor Emeritus Joseph Zelnik. The tone of the festivities ranged from sincere well wishes for Zelnik s retirement from his full-time role as editor, to irreverent jest and jabs, to a down right roast by emcee Gary Rudy, who had everyone laughing with him. Thanks to a humorous portrayal of Zelnik by his daughter Lisa Lucas and his grandchildren, the Herald staff got to see a side of their former editor they wouldn t normally, grilling an unsuspecting waitress on whether the ice tea was fresh brewed and what desert options were the best. Herald staffers Lauren Suit, Jack Fichter and Rick Racela created a fictitious video of Zelnik s life, The Joe Zelnik Story, that drew many laughs from Zelnik and party guests when it wad debuted at the event. Staffers creatively used Photo Shop, to place Joe amongst photos from movies ranging from the Three Stooges to Casablanca and with famous politicians including three past presidents. The video noted Zelnik was in the Apollo Space program and a member of the rock group Def Leppard. Some of the more popular video shots were placed as framed photos on tables at the retirement party. A large movie poster in the lobby of the Golden Inn depicted Zelnik in a Fred Astaire pose. In recognition of his many years in the newspaper business, vintage typewriters, instead of bouquets were used as table centerpieces and a poster featuring the many faces of Zelnik from his column was displayed. In February, Zelnik announced he was stepping down as editor due to health concerns. He has continued to write his award-winning column along with performing other duties. Hall said Zelnik would continue to have a role at the Herald, but not one that carries the weight of running the entire news operation. Zelnik became editor of the Herald in His unending editorial comment on the need for a community college in this county is credited with bringing the project to fruition. At the dedication of the College s Cape May County Campus, it was said the college would not be there without Zelnik. Zelnik said he began writing columns in He came from a different world, a daily newspaper world and more of a competitive market, the Philadelphia area. He was also an editorial page editor for the Delaware County (Pa.) Daily Times, working there for 10 years before being hired by the Philadelphia Daily News. He was hired as an editorial writer while on a picket line in front the Delaware County Times while its staff was on strike. From the Daily News, Zelnik went the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin in the Delaware County Bureau in Media, Pa., where he spent five years. The newspaper ceased publication and Zelnik went to work for Buffalo (N.Y.) Courier-Express as an editorial writer, which went out of business six months later. Zelnik graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree from University of Buffalo in 1954 and a Masters Degree in The party s guest list was kept to an intimate number. But for those who want to experience what the festivities were like, check out the video on the Herald s Web site.

A story in Robert Schuller s book, Tough Times Never Last, but Tough People Do, is about Sir Edmund Hillary, who was the first person to reach the summit of Mount Everest along with Tibetan Tenzing Norgay. Prior to his success on Everest, Hillary had been part of an earlier expedition in which not only did the team fail in its mission to master Everest, but they also lost one of its members in the process. At a reception for the expedition members in London, Hillary stood to address the audience. Behind the platform was a huge photograph of Everest. Hillary turned to face the image of the mountain and exclaimed with passion, Mount Everest, you have defeated us today, but I will return. And the next time, I will win this battle for you cannot get any bigger but I can.

In response to the Lennox Acres Spout Off of April 18: I would like to apologize for the drum player. It is my son. As soon as I read your complaint I sat him down and had a long conversation with him. Our agreement when he got the drum set was that he was to play them for 1/2 hour after school Monday through Friday. As I work two jobs, it is difficult for me to monitor this. I explained to him that your Spout Off informed me that he was not abiding by the rules. He has promised me that he will from now on, or the drums will go. Fishing Creek Van Drew wants to lower the speed limit on the parkway through Court House because too many drivers do not know that there are traffic signals on the parkway. Did he do a study to find how many accidents involve people that do not live or work south of Avalon? Court House I would not believe it if I had not seen it myself. The traffic sign in front of the Rio Diner tells me to go to the left of the median; that would have me heading into oncoming traffic. Rio Grande I am a Cape May resident and voter, and I do not own a business. How many other Cape May residents like me want the city to pay 3.5 million (or more) on the Washington Street Mall? If it came to a vote, would you vote for this large mall expenditure? I understand why the mall merchants want this mall redo if I were in business I might wish the city would make large expenditures to improve my street and vicinity too, but that doesn't make it right. As it is now our Cape May officials are kowtowing to the Washington Street Mall merchants and to Congress Hall. This practice needs to stop. Voters, let Cape May know you are opposed to this large expenditure. Tell them to sit down at the table and finalize a Washington Street Mall SID. Cape May I now have a new appreciation for the eight years that Larry Starner was mayor. In a little over two years Mayor Craig has managed to dismantle most of the good work done by Starner and turn our town government into a joke. I agree with Joe Zelnik. Wayne Mazurek does try, but the rest of them are indeed the "most awful government" in Cape May County. Fishing Creek What Officer at the end of his day races out of Neptune Avenue in a blue sports car and fails to stop at the stop sign, yet the police enforce this all over the island? I find it very unprofessional; is he above the law? West Wildwood Three cheers for the Cape Community Health Center for their "Cover the Uninsured Week Open House." God bless you for doing something to help people. In this day and age it is so reassuring to see someone actually trying to help people. Villas I have to agree with the spouter from last week about Patrick Rosenello. I have had to contact him several times about different things, and each time he has promptly returned my calls and done everything possible to resolve my complaint. If that isn't good public service I don't what is. North Wildwood This comment is for the spouter who has blown up the story about the 16-year-old "punk" is so bad, it is disgusting. First of all my son is not a punk, but a normally very respectful young man. He is still learning, and does not know nearly as much as you, the police officer, or me. The whole point is that no one would have known that the officer was sent to anger management if it wasn't for you. The second point is that yes, my 16-year-old gets in trouble every once in a while, but that is to be expected of teenagers. How can you possibly teach growing boy self-control if you have so called "role models" who cannot control themselves? Villas I truly believe that the real implication of that police sergeant allegedly using that Lower Township truck has been lost. By doing so, both he and the people who allowed this action, jeopardized the financial health of this town. Since there was a policy, and since it was violated, had he hit and injured someone with the truck or when trimming the tree, the township's insurance The Group, LLC AUTO HOME MARINE COMMERCIAL LIFE HEALTH Insurance & Financial Services 510 Bank Street, Cape May, NJ (609) Fax would not have covered the lawsuit and you can bet the lawyers would be lined up a block long for this case. We residents would have been paying this lawsuit for years to come. Lower is a town out of control. Lower Township What happened to the beautiful grass at Sunset Lake? I had heard they were thinking of a bicycle path there but didn't realize the grass would be affected. It looks bad right now - I hope the "improvement" is soon. Wildwood Crest One of the nice things about living in Cape May is the Herald. I have been especially impressed with your reporting on environmental issues, perhaps because I am a retired environmental attorney, and know a bit about that subject. Thus, I was surprised, and sharply disappointed, to read all the errors in the piece attributed to Craig J. Hazen, entitled, Conversations with Moreland and Hazen A Mormon in the White House? Yes, I noticed that it was an editorial, and properly placed on the editorial page, but there s still some reporting going on here, too. I know editorial writers are entitled to their own opinion, but no one, even editors, is entitled to their own facts. In the brief description of the big five points of theological difference I counted seven big errors in describing my faith. Now, least you feel I am some recent convert, who knows little about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, please know that I did not commit myself to that faith until I had investigated the available literature written against the church. In the 40years since, I have tried to keep current with Mormon apologetics, and have been honored to teach (part time) college-level classes on Mormon doctrine. I have no desire to be harsh, so may I try to soften my conclusion with a lame attempt at humor. In the future, I would recommend this head note on similar articles: No Mormons were consulted in the preparation of this article. Cape May Looking at Cape May s codebook, one learns that the property owner is responsible for the costs associated with the sidewalk, curb etc. that abuts their property. This would mean that the property owners on Washington Street Mall are responsible for the cost associated with that part of the mall, which would be equivalent to the sidewalk for Washington Street. If this is not enforced, the city may be putting its self in the position of having to pay for every Cape May property owner s sidewalk. By not requiring the Washington Street property owners to cover the sidewalk expense, the city seems to be violating its own ordinance, Ordinance Responsibility of property owner. The only exception is if the entire project is funded by a government agency other than the city. Cape May How can this "county" pay that one guy who works on the 96th Street Bridge? Last year I was going under the bridge and thought I didn't have the clearance. I have expensive radar on top and didn't want to play around. So what do I get from this guy? He comes out and starts calling me names. I'm thinking gosh sorry for making you do your job. Stone Harbor I'm not crazy about an asphalt plant in Ocean View, but these anonymous warning letters make me wonder who is spending all this money to combat it. What is their motivation and why are they doing this without disclosing their identity? It makes me very uncomfortable as to their motivation. Who are you and why aren't you signing your letters? Ocean View When are Park Boulevard, New York Avenue, New Jersey Avenue, Atlantic Avenue, Seaview, Pacific Avenue, Ocean Avenue and JFK Boulevard going to be repaved? It is nice that the towns are partially repaving the main roads as they do the cross street, but it really would be nice if all the main roads were done from Angelsea through to Diamond Beach. North Wildwood/Wildwood Crest Sure would be nice to have all of Rio Grande (from the foot of the bridge to the beach) completed by Memorial Day. Wildwood It is really nice to see that North Wildwood is finally begin- (Page A26 Please) KELLEHER BROTHERS Construction & Renovations Experts in home renovations Kitchens Bathrooms Decks / Bayshore Rd., North Cape May Est Serving all of Cape May County Red, White & Celebration Thursday, May 17th - Flanders Hotel 6-11pm All proceeds go to Cape May County Chapter of the American Red Cross Exquisite buffet compliments of Flanders Hotel Music by Dance Force Courtesy of Melanie Rice Entertainment Tickets per person For more information call (609) Tickets available at chapter office 34 East Mechanic Street, CMCH Major Sponsor Cape Savings Bank **Sponsorship opportunities also available.

Why not just do every street from the beach to the bay and get it done and over with? North Wildwood I'm sick of police bashing! If you don't like them, then don't ever call if you need help with something. This whole incident with the cop that used the township vehicle is ridiculous. He is not the first, second, third, or 100th person to do so. It's been going on for 20+ years! The only reason it's a big deal is because Mike Beck hates cops and he is making it a point to try and burn this guy. North Cape May To the "Bird Brains" and "Nature Nuts" who pushed for the "Villas Wildlife Management Area:" Thank you so much for the beautiful nature park. Those of you who have been back there know that I'm being sarcastic. It's a dump. The state is so quick to buy up land and then they sit on it and do nothing to it. They say the same thing over and over...we can't afford it. Then don't buy it. The existing building s windows are all broken out leaving the buildings exposed for kids to get in and get hurt. Why aren't they boarding them up? They can't even afford plywood? North Cape May One year ago I purchased two new city trashcans and was told by the mayor that these cans can be used for trash and recyclables. A year later I threw out my recyclable cans after speaking with the mayor again and confirming that the new cans can be used for recyclables as well as the trash. I picked up recyclable labels from the public works department and placed them on the can. My recyclables were never picked up on the scheduled day. I then called public works and was informed that you cannot use these city cans for recyclables. Now this is the only service the city of Wildwood provides me with. Wildwood Why would my complimentary spout off be edited to exclude the names of the generous businesses that helped us out, but yet if someone wants to flame Wildwood Linen or the fact that the owners, not the tater salad, have changed at Robinsons deli, or even to flame any town's police officers is allowed? Why do we have this sort of society? Maybe because not enough nice things are said, and most people tend to focus on the bad. Middle Township (ED. NOTE: Thank you for donations from businesses for a fundraiser or non-profit event are normally done in a paid ad, or a signed letter to the editor.) I heard a dirty but I do not know if it is true. Have you wondered why the 7/11 Gas Station in Court House in a prime business location has been closed for a few years and is not getting cleaned? The story is that there was a gas tank leak and the entire corner has been polluted. This has even gone so far as to pollute areas of the hospital. Court House To the spouter from Whitesboro about the new church on Route 9: It is beautiful and your community should be very proud. You are absolutely right about the condition of some of the properties in the area. The township should do something to force the owners to clean up their properties. Throughout the township there are just a few properties that bring down the entire community. Those buildings around the new church on Route 9, the old concrete plant in Rio Grande, and the 7/11 in Court House, are just a few that need attention. Middle Township To the spouter complaining about Sam Kelly: If telling him to move out is your answer to someone complaining about things in our community, why don't you move out? I don't know who this Sam Kelly is, but I will find out and thank him for being outspoken about all the obvious things wrong and the politics in Middle. Middle Township Lower Township's council has to be oblivious to what the people (and the press) are thinking. How many spout offs do you need before you realize that we who pay the taxes are angry? How many editorials need to be written before you realize you re in over your heads? Everywhere I go in this town people are talking about the antics of our council. My family has traditionally voted Republican, with some exceptions. That ends until Lower gets its government back. Fishing Creek Say no to the asphalt plant in Dennis Township. Keep our air clean and our roads free from additional traffic from trucks that will shake the windows out of your house. Dennis Township All the "good things happening here" someone said. What a joke. This town has been slowly dying for years; being systematically destroyed house by house, store by store. Soon we will have nothing but a bunch of "investment" properties all owned by shoobies along with our self-serving shoobie-catering politicians not to mention the Napoleonic lifeguards who drive away more people than they have ever saved.

Principal Financial Group ever spent a day at our beach, particularly in the past 15 years, knows what I'm talking about. Avalon If you really want to stop the kind of corruption that includes a mayor defending the misuse of public equipment by a police officer, then vote them out all of them. They count on this town being so Republican that they will win no matter what. Who cares what party they are if they do not work for the people? Lower Township The borough of Avalon has been most gracious in allowing Stone Harbor property owners to use Avalon facilities at no cost. How many times have you heard the refrain If you want to use a recreation center go to Avalon. It reminds me of the old sign Free Lunch Next Door. It is time for the citizens of the 47th wealthiest community in the United States to stop being moochers. Stone Harbor A very scary thought for the New Jersey taxpayers: The hand and mind that made the decision to not buckle up holds the pen in the same hand and mind to sign away two Cash Cows that New Jersey owns. That action would leave only one cash cow left the taxpayers. P. S. Was the airbag turned off too? Cape May County Mayor Carl Groon and Commissioner Don Cabrera with all of their free wheeling spend-a-thon programs are making Commissioner Joyce Gould look like a fi scal conservative. I never thought such a thing could happen. No wonder it snowed on Easter. Wildwood Crest I agree 100 percent with the single mom from North Cape May who attempted to get food stamps and was denied. I too am a single mother who works full time with a six-year-old child, and I too, was denied food stamps. I guess because I am a higher class than they are used to seeing. I think it is absolutely horrible that decent people who actually work cannot get assistance, but people who don t work can get all the assistance there is. Court House In regard to the name change at BTMH: Administration had this planned for months and it was kept a secret from all hospital employees. We received a letter in the mail Saturday addressed to Hospital friend/family notifying us of the name change that occurred Monday. How shady can they be? Employees deserve more notification and respect since we dedicate so much time to our work. Also, since we are affiliated with the University of Penn does that mean we get paid on their pay scale? No, but we should. They waste all their money on a name change. We deserve more from them than a 10-cent raise every year. Court House Rather than listening to Alexander Haig s partisan opinion about George Bush s disastrous venture in Iraq, as an Avalon spouter suggests, he would be wiser to heed the conclusions of the Iraq study group. That bi-partisan panel spent more than eight months consulting terrorism experts worldwide and gathering and analyzing information from government intelligence agencies across the globe. Among the conclusions of the group s final report were that Iraq had no role in the events of 9/11; Our invasion of Iraq is a diversion from a true war on terrorism and that countries that were our friends, and should be our allies in the fight against terrorism have turned against the U. S. Avalon Willie Sutton, not Jesse James expressed his views in the early morning of July 15, Get it straight or you may be flogged. Ocean City Congratulations Stone Harbor on your decision to build a community center. We won t have to go to Avalon, Sea Isle City, or North Wildwood for Arts & Crafts, Dancing Lessons, play a game of cards with friends, etc. Stone Harbor To the spouter who took joy in the closing of a Catholic school: Our church is constantly growing and changing. When a school closes it s like a tree being pruned. A new school has just opened. At Catholic school, you re allowed to pledge allegiance to God; you re even allowed to pray. Have you noticed that school shootings mostly occur in public schools? We are cousins to our fellow Christians. Why do you persecute us? Court House Thank heaven for Dr. Weisberg at Cape Urgent Care. He saved my life. Court House Would someone repave Dias Creek Road between Mechanic Street and Hand Avenue? It looks terrible. It also lacks sidewalks. Let s give some identity to Court House. It s known as the town before Cape May that is next to Stone Harbor. Let s make a good thing-great. Maybe we should even have our own carriage company?

27 opinion A27 Spout Off (From Page A26) Main Street. How beautiful that would be. Court House Come on, Lower Township. I am not going to let it rest until I know everything about the incident with the township truck. Who used what equipment? Who let them use it despite a now-proven policy in effect? Why did Mayor Craig say there was no policy when there obviously was one? What kind of action will be taken? What would have happened if there were an accident? Who would pay? Why were there signs covering the town logo and where did the signs come from? Is the county really looking into this or does it go under the political rug? Cape May Beach To the people who keep putting Sam Kelly down. I think you re just jealous that he has more guts than you to stand up to the politicians and other people who are ruining Middle Township. Swainton My suggestion for a proper pay for Lower Township s council would be about 5 a month and even then they would be overpaid. If paid according to job performance, they would owe us money. Maybe we can let them trim trees on the side to earn their pay or better yet walk behind a trash truck. Lower Township To the person that is complaining about the park on Harbor Lane: I have seen a young lady (with the city) running her gloves off. She has cleaned many places up. They may not have flowers in them, but at least look nice and clean. She don t just rake over the weeds and move on (like the guys), she makes sure that every weed is gone. She has worked very hard on parking areas and around the mall. Maybe that s all it took was a woman to get the job done. Cape May To the Lower Township mayor and council: You better be good I m telling you why; we re watching you. Lower Township We still have the highest tax rate, and the highest crime rate just listen to your scanner and you hear for yourself. Wildwood We need an Applebee s or TGIF in Rio Grande. I urge the mayor to create more liquor licenses to help with the increasing population. Middle Township Why is the fire inspector harassing me about a sewer vent cap? I never had any problems before. I think he s trying to drum up business for his father. Avalon To the spouter complaining about the North wildwood Beach Patrol: Isn t it a little early in the season to start complaining? While neighboring cities such as Stone Harbor has had drownings during hours and Wildwood after hours, North Wildwood continues to be run extremely efficiently by Chief Cavalier and his officers. Early preparation and the constant upkeep of the building and equipment is the key to a smooth summer season. Let us not forget that the tourists are here for the beach and North Wildwood s seem to be the safest and best run. North Wildwood Okay, I read a spout off about how they should take the Drug Free School Zone sign down. I agree because the students still smoke either way. And the security guards do not really pay attention. I have something else to add, how is it that students can get away with doing DIP in school and nothing is done? Del Haven The flag at the West Cape May Fire Company is ripped and is a disgrace. It was never lowered for the Virginia Tech massacre; come on guys, show some respect. West Cape May France is having an election. That is not big news except for the fact that the French voters have a giant opportunity to change course. The socialist party has ruled them for decades. While most countries around the world have enjoyed huge financial improvements and standards of living worldwide have been skyrocketing, the French economy is in free fall. Half of French households live on 1,990 in income per month. Unemployment has not fallen below 8 percent since In order to fund the socialist state, public debt has quintupled since Once one of the world s richest countries and once known for products of superior quality and marvelous services, the French people in increasing numbers are now convinced that the country is in decline. Court House I am happy for the lady who had the help and prayers of the priests and parishioners of St Ann s. Some of those parishioners were from Wildwood and maybe even the Crest. Wildwood Why do people feel that everyone wants to listen to their dogs bark? If you love your dog, keep it in the house instead of having it out side all day barking at everyone who walks past the house. I feel that I live in a kennel. Villas Some countries are beginning to wake up to the threat of unlimited immigration. Last year it was Australia, which decided that enough is enough. Now Russia has announced that it will not longer tolerate open borders. Vladimir Putin s government is reacting to growing popular resentment against the illegal aliens. His government has announced that employees must obtain work permits. Fines for employers, which hire illegal immigrants, are being increased. It is time for our politicians to take heed. Avalon In the news today was the titled report Real estate market shifts from slide to free-fall. No other place in the state where a perfect example of such a statement is on the island of Wildwood. At the end of last summer, we had approximately 2,200 units available on the market and that didn t include the units that were currently under construction. There may have been some sales over the winter, but: 1) There was a 50 percent drop in the number of real estate transactions and 2) The prices of these same units were more than 30 percent lower than original asking price when they were first listed on the real estate market. There will be auctions and fire sales within the next 12-months. And to think the city officials want to add high-rise buildings and condotels to the current market tells me they really are not paying attention. And to think that everyone and their uncle on this island became a real estate agent a few years ago, unbelievable. North Wildwood Are the taxpayers of Avalon and Stone Harbor stupid or just blind to the simple facts? Since we already share the school administrator to cut costs, why can t we agree to consolidate the schools? First to fourth attend one while fifth through eighth attend the other. Surely this would save money and assist the children by socializing with a larger group. I believe the current ratio in Avalon is one teacher per five pupils. Even if this were doubled it would still be a good ratio. While we are at it Sea Isle needs a place to send their students. Taxpayers please wake up and force the people in charge to use their common sense over their egos. Stone Harbor The shopping area improvements to routes 9 and 47 are the best that has happened to the area. How about some new restaurants like the Country Buffet or Outback or a good BBQ chain? North Wildwood The need for a rec center has never been documented, nor has the cost. Council would be better to spend their time trying to lower taxes. Stone Harbor Loved your column on using municipal equipment in Lower Township, priceless humor. PS, does this officer have a commercial license for landscaping, does he report income at tax time federal or state, or is it just lost revenue for the township top? Cape May Beach The course at Sand Barrens Golf Course where we played today at 85 a round with aerated greens, 70-degree weather was empty. Does it give you any ideas why it was empty? Two reasons, the price and aerated greens? Ridiculous. I usually go four or five times a year, now that was it, I will go only one time this year. Clermont I was just wondering whether the people that are on the committee to revitalize the mall understood why they use exposed aggregate on their mall. I wonder what chewing gum will look like after a few years on the brick mall that they are contemplating putting there. Also, I was wondering if the engineers the city has involved in doing the mall over ever videotaped and checked the utilities. They are only 36 years old, and I know that there are many utilities throughout the city of Cape May, sewer line and water lines that VOTE #8 to #12 Restore the Spirit of Sea Isle TEAM #8 Mc Hale #9 Divney #10 Tighe #11 Matyszczak #12 Di Iorio have been in for a hundred years or more. Seems to me like city council needs to do a little more checking on what is going on. It s a shame to replace something that does not need to be replaced. South Seaville This is the wrong time and the wrong place for a Stone Harbor recreation center. It doesn t make sense to borrow money for a controversial project, which is not really needed. It also doesn t make sense to sell open space to fund a project taking away open space on 82nd Street. That open field is so popular spring, summer, and fall. Parking is a big problem, why add to it? The 2.4 million is just the beginning of the cost. Stone Harbor The single mom who was denied food stamps and complained about the state helping convicts, addicts, child molesters, etc. forgot about adding illegal immigrants to her list, and before anyone calls in telling her to get a job, working people do get food stamps. Court House Well another school election has come and gone and every budget has passed in Cape May County. People are complaining about their taxes, time to get out and vote and vote down the budget in the school board. They don t want to talk about consolidation, then do something else, get out and vote. All the teachers vote and they pass everything. If you don t want higher taxes, then you have to trim the budget and a good place to start is the school board. I haven t had kids in school in 11 years, and I am paying out the nose. We have (Page A28 Please) Working as a TEAM, we will create efficiencies in operations.

Lower Township is the biggest township and we have the highest taxes. Lower Township (ED. NOTE: Not all school budgets passed; two were defeated.) Our whole family can hardly wait for the new community center to be built in Stone Harbor. It certainly is a must. We need a place not only for the summer people but also for those who live here year around. In the summer it is especially important on rainy days and at night so that people have a place to go, particularly the young people. There is nothing at night for the young people anymore. So come on and get on the ball and get this community center built now. Stone Harbor It is great to have this new Robinson s. It s the community s heart and soul, and they re still holding on to the original goal, which was long overdue. It has been put in the background for a long time. Keep up the good work. Great staff, fantastic value, great food. Villas I had a very dear friend that was in Crest Haven. The service was excellent. Everyone from the front door to the back was very good to him. We were very pleased with Crest Haven Nursing Home. He is doing very well and is back home again. His nurses were excellent and it was very clean. North Wildwood To the person that is complaining about the Wildwood SWAT team. Obviously you know a lot of details about the SWAT team. You need to stop complaining and start praising. You should thank God that Wildwood has the best SWAT team around. These guys train all year around, essentially whether it is getting drug dealers out of our town or hostage situations, etc. They put their lives on the line every time they get called out to protect you and when you are sleeping they are out there working to keep you and your family safe. So send in your s and your family s addresses, and heaven forbid you should ever need the SWAT team or assistance or have a complaint about drug dealers, they won t show up. Wildwood It is disgusting to go to a business in Cape May County and discover that they don t know how to take care of their customers. I was visiting a certain car wash, and after they washed my car and I got back in my car I discovered that on the passenger s seat there was a black mark. I immediately reported it to the men and then to the owner who looked at me and said, Well, we didn t do this. I said But you did, because these marks were not here when I entered the car wash. He absolutely refused to go into his detailing shop and get some kind of spray and clean it, he said he would have to charge me. That is not how you take care of customers. I ve been a customer of this car wash since it opened which is probably close to three years. I go monthly to get my car washed. I am dismayed that this man did not know how to take care of customers. Court House I sure hope the efforts to keep and refurbish the Crest fishing pier are successful. I have used it as a turnaround point for beach walking. I hate to admit it, but I m not as sharp as I use to be without it, I may just keep walking on and on. Keeping the pier may save a lot of public time and money from being spent looking for me and turning me around. Wildwood I would like the Lower Township council to explain how the person who caused the David Douglas school to be locked down because of a terroristic threat. How could he be a resident of the Sweetbriar Motel? How could someone from a motel be a permanent resident? Did the council of Lower Township zone a hotel as a permanent residence instead of its intended hotel use? It looks like families take up residence in this hotel, leaving the taxpayers in Villas to pay 20,000 a year for each child educated in our school system. Not to mention the police calls to the Sweetbriar, which is an everyday occurrence. If Lower Township enforced existing zoning laws it would lower our taxes and make the crime spree from the Sweetbriar go away. Villas I would like to know how the house at Aster and Park Boulevard passed the zoning and the planning board. The house is on a 30-foot lot, they moved the foundation out 15 feet towards Park Boulevard, which is within two feet of the sidewalk, plus they re over their height limit. I don t see how the zoning and planning board approved this and neither did the construction company. I know other people who were turned down for work not as much as this was. Wildwood Crest Why hasn t the amount of the lawsuit by the harassed former clerk been released to the papers? Why aren t the reporters asking how much that amount is? People want to know. West Cape May Who gave permission to dump tires behind the middle school on Pacific Avenue? It is illegal and environmentally unsound. Middle Township I am calling about the scrap yard in Erma. I think the code enforcer should take a ride down the street and check it out. It s a disgrace to the neighborhood. Erma Try counting on your fingers the farms that still produce edible farm products. Even the purchasing of agricultural land by the county has not prevented a decline of vegetables farms in Cape May County. Of course there are many reasons for this decline of farms but it could have serious consequences for our future. No farm, no food. Cape May County It is about time for the manager of the Lions Center to reduce the immense volume of trashed articles such as mirrors, beds, furniture, etc. from the yard. It has been there for years. With all the rain it gets soaked and is starting to smell, plus all of the germs on it. It is very unhealthy, no wonder all the residents are ill. Wildwood Last week I walked into the JC Penny s in Rio Grande and was greeted by the nicest ladies at the front register. What excellent customer service. Thank you ladies for being so courteous. More stores should employ people like you. Court House Congratulations Butch Hamer for being elected to the Middle Township school board. You are exactly what Middle Township needs. Middle Township To our new neighbors on Portsmouth Road: Please put your trash out properly as yours is consistently knocked over and blowing all over the street week after week. Birds, raccoons, rabbits and cats help to make it worse. We used to have a clean neighborhood. Tranquility I just got done reading the article about the Stone Harbor bird sanctuary getting a forest of new trees, hoping to bring the birds back. Forget it guys, the birds aren t coming back, they re surrounded by nothing but mansions, construction, noise, and dirt, and birds don t like it. They want somewhere peaceful and quiet to go. Years ago when Stone Harbor was a sleepy little town the birds were there. Now it is nothing but noise and congestion all summer long. Birds are not going to come back; you may as well forget it. Lower Township Since when is closing Allen Park on Saturday and Sunday nights the responsibility of the police department? Is this because the mayor wants the police chief to take over all of the departments? North Wildwood To the North Wildwood spouter about the unhappy cop: You would be too if you had to work the new shift that they are working. They went from 12 hours (being happy) to a 10-hour shift without getting a weekend off for sometimes nine weeks, and the afternoon shift 2 p.m. to midnight. You don't see your kids for four days (when they are in school). North Wildwood To the spouter from North Wildwood about the four lifeguards: Did you know that there are now three code enforcement officers? So at times there will be as many code enforcers as there are police officers working the street. North Wildwood The families that claim Stone Harbor as their primary residence, that community is large enough to merit its own recreation center. Selling a very small portion of township land is a cost effective way to provide construction funds. Also the center should attract the baby boomers as they look for a place to retire. Stone Harbor I laugh at the people trying to change their voting registration address at the last minute. First, you should have done this a year ago when your taxes went up. And second, you should have done it in the summer when you were living at your beach house. Of course using a Philadelphia return address will raise flags and prevent you from changing your voting address. When you do it like I did a year ago, it's easier to stay below the radar and vote this May. Bayonne Keep right pass left; otherwise you are breaking the law. Your attitude is why there is road rage. Assuming that someone who speeds would leave someone on the side of the road seems a bit harsh. Tailgating is a problem. Because I speed doesn t mean I tailgate. Even when I speed, I keep right and pass left. It s really not that hard. Erma To every spouter who felt self-important enough to negatively comment on Gov. Corzine's accident, I pity you. People who do not outgrow their playground bullying tendencies and continue to kick a man when he is down, clearly reveal their allegiances to money and politics. If your political choice for governor had suffered the same circumstances, would you be so vindictive? If you fly the flag, you fly it for all Americans. Get well soon Gov. Corzine. North Wildwood My eight-year-old daughter came home from school yesterday very upset. They had a code green, for real as she put it. Apparently a father came to the school looking for his child and refused to check in at the office after being asked to do so. He was arrested, but I want him to know how upset my child was, and I am sure many other children were just as scared, confused, and upset as she was. I hope he isn t let off easy for what happened. Erma After attending the fiasco that was the Dennis Township Zoning board meeting April 25, I was surprised. Never have I seen so many rude and uneducated people in one place. If you are so worried about truck traffic and fumes, how about that parking lot? Nothing but large trucks, SUVs, minivans you should all be ashamed. South Seaville How can the City of Wildwood Beach Maintenance Department paint trucks and cars without the proper permits or a state license? The paint fumes and paint dust blows out into the air, and there is no protection for the environment. Wildwood The Lower Township Council should be ashamed of themselves for giving themselves a raise to 15,000 plus 1,500 for not using the insurance, which they should not even be entitled. Part-time employees work 40 hours a week for six months and do not get insurance, but a council person works two times a week no more than four hours and is taking more money from the township. My leaves don't get picked up because of lack of fulltime employees. A full time employee starts at 22,000, works 35 hours a week yearround, but a council member works 24 meetings, maybe four hours a meeting, and gets paid 15,000 with benefits or 1,500. Stop being walked on by the good ole boys of Lower Township. Lower Township To the uninformed person in Mayville: I live on Timothy Lane, right next to Future Mining. We are not getting city water. We don't need or want it. Maybe you should make sure you know the facts before you shoot your mouth off. Middle Township Stop the lies. To the spouter that stated that councilmen (Page A29 Please)

29 opinion A29 Spout Off (From Page A28) get lifetime benefits after two terms: This is an outright lie. That was rescinded in Get the facts before you spout off Avalon I remember when Councilman Conrad was running for office and he came by to tell me about his concerns about the Sweetbriar Motel. I understand he spoke out about this "place" a few times at council. That was last year during the election and now he's been elected. In the past month we've had a drug overdose fatality there, and now the schools are locked down due to one of these residents. I live behind the Sweetbriar, and I still have concerns, but I don't see Mr. Conrad. Talk is cheap. My fault for expecting better. Villas To the spouter concerning the governor's auto insurance coverage: You are correct; medical care beyond the 10th day following an accident is subject to review of medical necessity but this is known as pre-certification, not re-certification. Unfortunately the governor's injuries were so severe that medical necessity of his care is obvious. Medical necessity is usually only questioned in cases where a great length of time has passed since the accident, (years) and/or when injuries have healed to a point of maximum medical improvement and the person is still attempting to claim benefits under the car insurance. A final point: If the governor has standard PIP coverage of 250K, his auto benefits are likely exhausted at this point due to his overwhelming care needs. His benefits are likely being paid by his health care insurance at this time. Let's all say a prayer for his recovery. He could surely use that most of all. Amen. Cape May County This is to the woman who flew around the corner in front of J. C. Penney and came so close to me with her car that I had to jump out of the way. I have not forgotten what you yelled out your window at me when I told you to get off your cell phone and watch your driving. You yelled at me and told me to mind my own business. It is my business because it could have been my funeral. You have a lot of nerve. I don't blame you for speeding away when you saw me walking toward your parked car. I was not in a good mood at that point and you would have heard about it loud and clear. My life is my business. You should turn in your license. Rio Grande How about a couple more events to help the local businesses? Beautiful last weekend, no one in town. Raise mercantile license fees if you have to, just get some people in town. Stone Harbor How can we expect to be saved by "world-class" high rises? No one is going to pay the enormous property tax to own one. Even if the property tax lowers 10 percent, what million-dollar buyer is going to spend 15,000 a year on property tax? There will have to be 10-year tax abatements like the new construction in Philly. However you look at it, your taxes are not going down for a long, long time. Wildwood To the spouter who dislikes Sam Kelly speaking up: "Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it." Mark Twain. Middle Township government has not deserved it in a long time. They have let down the people who voted them in and those who didn't vote them in. You can love your community and disapprove of the government running it. It is American to speak up when our government is not doing the right thing. Bravo, Sam Kelly. I guess if it were up to that spouter, all Americans should move out of America who disapproves of the president, and all township residents should move out of Middle that disapproves of our committee people. Wouldn't be too many people left in Middle or America. Middle Township Poor sportsmanship is a wonderful thing to teach our children. To the sore losers from the Gia competition, let's get to the facts. 1) The person you are referring to seen with the coach from St. Ann at a local restaurant was not a judge. 2) There have been two different sets of judges from prestigious Cheer Competition Companies for the past two years. 3) Margaret Mace won two years ago, and St. Ann this year. The judges just recognize good coaching and the ability to bring out the talent in our children. These girls far out-stunted, out-danced, and out cheered the other teams. Judges look for all areas of cheering and the ability to choreograph a good routine. It's time to stop the complaints and bring it back to the mat next year. Cape May Beach You can tell when the Stone Harbor Republicans become too close to the Cape May County Regular Republican Organization. They adopt their motto. Let's see how many good hardworking Republicans we can do away with. Who needs those loyal Republicans anyway? Stone Harbor Can't we all just get along? Middle Township I moved to Cape May in the 1990's after retiring. I enjoy a generous pension and healthcare benefits thanks to my former employer and the government. The government also paid for my education. I believe that the Cape May business community should shoulder more of the burden of our local taxes in the form of additional fees and assessments. Why do I believe that? Because I've been enjoying the benefits and reaping the rewards that were fought for and sacrificed for by someone else my entire life. The generation before me fought the wars and advanced the labor and civil rights movements and made the sacrifices so you see, I am spoiled. Let someone else subsidize me and pay my way and the Cape May business people are the perfect scapegoats. Cape May I don't know which cheerleading group locally was selling pizzas in February, but I never received mine and yet the check was cashed within two days. I've tried calling the phone number of the child, but no one answers and no one returns calls. I think it's a sad day when I feel I can no longer support our local children for fear of being ripped off. You can thank that cheerleading squad the next time you knock on my door and I slam it before you can ask for a dime. Villas Can't wait to go to a book club, art classes, and play bridge in a state-of-the-art facility, which will be in Stone Harbor Community Center. We are fortunate to have forward thinking residents and council who know there is a life in addition to the beach. Stone Harbor This is for mud man in Wildwood who was cleaning the streets on Easter Sunday on Atlantic. First of all, you shouldn't have been wasting taxpayers money on Sunday at overtime rate, secondly you never clean a street when it s wet especially after it snowed or rained. Wildwood This is not an election complaint it's a litter and trespass complaint. The inconsiderate candidates in Sea Isle City are littering Dennis Township with their campaign signs; one in fact dug holes in wetland ground to place a billboard sign up. I am quite sure the residents and candidates of Sea Isle City would have the police there if we in Dennis attempted to put signs on their JFK Boulevard. If I could vote in town none of the offenders would get my vote. Sea Isle City continues to have I don't care for anyone but me politicians. Take back your signs to good old Sea Isle City. Dennis Township About 7:30 a.m. on April 30 at the northernmost parkway light, Bus No. 333 from Shepard Bus Service ran the red light as the bus was leaving the Crest Haven Complex and turning south. Court House The parkway lights are unsafe and the hurricane evacuation route on Route 47 is no good. Must be a campaign year for "Captain Obvious," Jeff Van Drew. Instead of wasting time passing a "state song," why don't he back up his strong words with some action for the district? Middle Township All the candidates are very nice people. Whoever gets in, please provide commitment for 100 percent effort to bring back businesses, improve roads, fire and safety concerns, integrity, and beautify our downtown image. Thank you. Sea Isle City My biggest disappointment with the online Spout Off is that certain participants are allowed to make personal insults. A small group has made it like their personal chat room, and if you disagree with them they conspire and gang up on you. It is ugly. The rules aren't applied fairly. It's a trick to prop up the Republican majority in Cape May County. The Herald should be ashamed. Members should be warned. Marmora Thank you to those responsible for having a "Left Turn" arrow for those cars coming east on 96th Street and turning north on Third Avenue. It makes that intersection much more "user friendly." It is appreciated very much. Stone Harbor Good to hear Avalon created high marks flood plan, saving homeowners on their flood Insurance. Nice job Avalon. Sea Isle City Many Catholics in Congress, the Senate and local government have chosen the Democrat party over their faith. There are many who are Catholics in name only and have not given serious thought to what it means to say that one is a Catholic. A Catholic is required to be a witness to his faith 24/7 regardless of what his position is in life. It s not like a light switch, which you can just turn on and off depending on a whim. Given the Democratic Party's stance on abortion, there is a glaring contradiction in being a practicing Democrat and a practicing Catholic. Avalon Cape May Tech Class of 2007 graduation is June 15. What we all have been waiting for; finally our chance to shine in the spotlight as our names are called one by one. This might be the end of a great journey through high school but who s to say it would end there? As friends go their separate ways to advance their goals in life to become what they dreamed of for so long. The journey might be long and scary but to all my friends, never give up and never go down without a fight. It s been one journey that no one would ever forget.

Fishing Creek Having been raised in Cape May County for most of my short life, I am proud to have come from such a beautiful and historical place. However I now live in Philadelphia for educational reasons (college). So every once in awhile I like to browse the spout offs just to get a sense of the local news, and I am disgusted at the level of ignorance on issues like immigration, religion and ethics. Everyone needs to take time to research issues before forming opinions based off of a single source. Cape May County The way of life in Cape May County. The Cape May County Board of Elections has scheduled meetings for the candidates, poll workers, challengers etc. Guess what? They are scheduled for 3 p.m. Most of the people doing these jobs work in private industry and lose pay if they wish to attend. I think the county board that are paid employees should schedule the meeting in the evening so the volunteers are not penalized. I feel the county workers would be well reimbursed if they worked an evening. Let s try and be fair to the citizens of Wildwood and Sea Isle City who want to do the job right. Cape May County Middle Township AARP members: Next time you have lunch with our elected officials, be sure to thank them for the 36 percent tax increase. Middle Township To the Lower Township Rescue Squad: What I saw Friday afternoon at the North Cape May Wawa was very unprofessional. A male and a female EMT were walking into the Wawa kissing and hugging each other. That to me is very unprofessional. Oh, and another thing, to the EMT that wears his uniform unbuttoned with his hairy chest hanging out, that is insane. The chief really needs to take control of this. If anything would ever happen to me I would rather the wonderful men and women at the police department take me to the hospital. North Cape May The city of Wildwood s fire chief is using a city, red, Expedition for his private use. It must be nice to have a job and use a public truck to go out shopping and to a near by bar. Wildwood Just look around Wildwood, and you see For Sale signs on every block and boarded-up or closed buildings. Wildwood My son goes to Maud Abrahms Elementary School. One day I was driving past the front part of the school on Ferry Road, and I see some of the students either picking up trash of doing yard work. The next day, the same thing. Why are our students doing this instead of being educated in a classroom? That is not what I want my son to be when he grows up or when he's supposed to be learning. North Cape May I recently went to Philadelphia and someone mentioned to me about the Blarney Bus. I had no idea what the Blarney Bus was. For those who do not know it is a transportation bus that picks and drops you off at certain destinations along a route that has establishments that serve alcoholic beverages. It is a safe way to transport our alcoholics. These individuals have addictions, and that does not mean that they are bad people. Let them pay for their fare. Or pay extra for their beer or alcohol when they are out to pay for their fare home. If other counties can figure out a way to pay for this transportation, then I do not see why we cannot do the same. I'd rather pay extra for the lives of our children or family members than extra in taxes to care for these people in jail. I hope that the only reason why we do not have this service is to give our police department something to do. If it were not for the alcoholics in the summertime, what crime would they have?. Or would our court system rather make the money off of grieving parents with deceased children and family members. Someone please tell me? Lower Township I watched in disgust, a Little League game April 24 at the Wildwood Little League field. The coach was so obnoxious he should be banned from coaching. Do they do background checks on them? Any drug tests? He had no respect for the umpire, and proceeded to tell him so in front of all his players and fans. Is that showing the kids good sportsmanship? He should be evaluated by the board and set free, for good. Wildwood Crest Welcome to our new police chief in Wildwood. I am sure he will be a good one. Does he live in Wildwood? Anybody know?

Wildwood Crest FRI. 9-5 SAT opinion Reorganized Middle School Board Tackles Minority Teacher Shortage By AL CAMPBELL COURT HOUSE Two Middle Township Board of Education incumbents, and a former member took oaths to start three-year terms at reorganization April 26. Solicitor John Armstrong administered and explained in detail the Code of Ethics for board members. Burgess Butch Hamer took the oath with son, Brandon Hamer, at his right hand. Hamer received the most votes, 797, in the election. He previously served on the board, and recently retired from the Middle Township Police Department. Board President Calvin Back also took his oath, after again being unanimously elected to his longheld post. George DeLollis, with wife Margie holding the Bible, took his oath. No changes were made in personnel at the reorganization. Board meetings will remain the third Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in the Administration Building, except in April. At the public part of the regular meeting, which followed the reorganization, the question of minority teacher hiring was again raised. It was first raised at the March 15 meeting, and reported here March 21. First to address it was Wanda Shepherd of Whitesboro, who asked about the possibility of offering incentives to minority teacher prospects. Is there anything we can do to keep minority teachers? Shepherd asked. Superintendent Michael Kopakowski replied that the matter was being addressed by the board s Equity Committee, and at the county level by school superintendents. The latter body, said Kopakowski, formed a diversity committee and I am a member of it. It would be a benefi t if the board had greater community support, said Daniel Money, Equity Committee chair. He said it would be helpful if the superintendent and board were apprised of what interests district graduates had. He said those graduates can become successful, and he hoped We can grow our own here. Hamer said he had touched base with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), and Felicia Smith, who raised the question of minority teacher hiring in March. He said he secured a list of all district teachers, to check how many were minority members, including Hispanics. A building principal had attended a Philadelphia job fair, and had only one minority applicant inquire about district employment. Gary Farrow of Dias Creek said it was disheartening that few minority teachers apply. He asked the board if there was consensus that there is a problem. Speaking for myself, Al Campbell Board President Calvin Back shakes hands with Board Solicitor John Armstrong's after oath. Al Campbell Returning board member George DeLollis takes oath while wife Margie holds Bible. Al Campbell Former school board member Burgess Butch Hamer, who received 797 votes, with son Brandon Hamer holding Bible, begins three-year term. we have a problem in that area. Local children do not come back, said Lisa Toft, Dennis Township board liaison. There is a huge problem, she added. Yes, we need more minority applicants. They are not applying, said Dennis Roberts, board vice president. He added that districts are holding job fairs. We all feel the same way, Roberts said, adding that 24 percent of the student population is African American. The problem is, it s hard to get kids who want to come back here, he added. They get established in another area. What you are saying is not falling on deaf ears, he said to Farrow. Kopakowski said part of the problem is the state s strict licensure requirements. College graduates from Pennsylvania or New York cannot easily get New Jersey certification to teach. Kopakowski said the board had charged him to report back regularly on the status of minority teacher candidates and hires. I believe the board is making an effort, said Farrow. Look at us. This board is a diverse board, said De- Lollis. There are men and women of different races and ages, he added. Larry Fields of Goshen Road asked if district starting salaries were compatible. Roberts replied that starting salaries in Middle Township had been 29,000, but have increased to 42,000. But we can t compete with North Jersey, Ocean City or Mainland Regional. We do what we can do, and we re doing the best we can with limited resources, Robert continued. This is not just a school issue, it s a community issue, said Money. We are trying to reinvigorate the future teachers club, said Kopakowski. If they are considering education, maybe they will come back to Middle Township. It s an item we ve discussed.

Avalon Wins Ill-Timed Suit By CHRISTINE COTE AVALON A five-year old lawsuit that traces its factual history back to the major coastal storm of 1962, was resolved in favor of the borough Monday by a state appellate court. Henry E. Raab and Clara V. Montagna sued the borough in April 2002 over a vacant beachfront parcel at Block 76.03, Lots 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 64 and 107 near the end of 76th Street, seeking compensation for the taking of their property. The property was turned Juliano Sues Middle Over Victorian Village By JOE HART into a tidal area of oceanfront, according to the court, after the March 1962 Nor easter washed the end of 76th Street into the ocean. By that November, the borough initiated a property-exchange program to compensate property owners whose lots had been taken by the storm. Between then and the time the suit was filed there had been correspondence between the plaintiffs predecessors in title, and the borough about this land and possibly exchanging it for COURT HOUSE A lawsuit has been fi led in Superior Court by Rio Victorian Village, LLC against the Middle Township Zoning Board. Developer William Juliano is a principal in the Victorian Village project, which was planned for the 15.4-acre site of the former Rio Grande Concrete plant on Railroad Avenue. The civil action alleges that the board acted arbitrarily in denying an application for a 336 unit non-age-restricted development on Feb. 8. Juliano s original plan, for an age-restricted residential development for the same site, was previously approved in February The lawsuit alleges that the amended application proposed an essentially identical residential development as that original plan. According to the complaint, the new development plan actually called for fewer units and reduced the intensity of development relative to height and number of buildings. The plaintiff also accuses the township of demanding extra fees and unlawful exactions as conditions for an approval of an amended application, including: Recreation fee 840,000. New firehouse 1 million. New fire engine 975,000. Fire department training 200,000. Because of these demands for extra payments to the township, the lawsuit claims the denial of the amended application was tainted. The plaintiff is asking the court to declare the zoning board s denial invalid and to decree that the amended application be accepted, or remanded back to the board for a rehearing. Plaintiff s attorney fees and costs are also being sought. Schools Locked Down COLD SPRING All four Lower Township elementary schools were placed in lock down April 25 following an incident that resulted in a local father s arrest for making terroristic threats. Police said a call from David C. Douglass Memorial School, which houses pre-kindergarten and kindergarten classes, reported an intruder at 10:30 a.m. Officers found Renardo W. Shockley, 43, of the Sweetbriar Motel, in the school s front lobby. Investigators found that Shockley went to the school, where his child is a pupil, and demanded the school return a book that his child brought for show and tell the prior day. School officials had confi scated the book after it was found to have offensive profanity and possible gang-related activity. A grandparent in the lobby heard Shockley allegedly state, They re not threatening my child like this. I ll blow them all away. At that time a lock down was ordered and police summoned. No weapons were found in Shockley s vehicle, but he was arrested and charged with terroristic threats. He was remanded to county jail with bail set at 1,500. He was also issued a no contact order for the school. other borough property. The court detailed how the borough rebuilt the dunes and adopted ordinances to protect them and entered into agreements with the state Environmental Protection Agency to replenish the beaches. The court found that despite negotiations concerning the property, after letters were exchanged in mid-1965 the parties failed to reach an agreement. It was stipulated in the lawsuit that the property could not be developed. The court also concluded that plaintiffs did have a claim against the borough for inverse condemnation, but should have filed their lawsuit sooner. They had six years under the applicable statute of limitations to seek a court ruling on their claim, but since they knew as of April 1965 that a sand barrier had been placed on the property and they could not build there, they should have sued then. Therefore, their claim was only valid until April 1971 and filing in 2002 was too late. The appellate court agreed with Superior Court Judge Joseph Visalli, who heard the matter at trial level, that the borough was entitled to summary judgment on the statute of limitations issue.

A1 ** Landings ** Signs of Welcome Spring invariably brings new signs announcing the return, or opening, of businesses across the county. But some will serve residents and visitors yearround. Last Tuesday, Christ Gospel Church in Middle Township had a new sign installed at its Route 9 entrance. It was designed by Vanessa Robinson, who told the Herald that she directed her focus to the sign s symbols. The green tree, she explained, symbolizes the message that all under the tree will receive life. Robinson s husband, Bishop Edgar Robinson, is bishop to the congregation. Over in North Wildwood, a new welcome sign was installed to greet visitors at the city s northern entranceway. In Property Tax Appeals, Your Key Strength Is Knowledge By JOSEPH RAVITZ Guest Columnist In honor of property tax appeal time, we re reprinting a popular guest column from last year. The author is Middle Township s Assessor and owns a private appraisal firm. The views he expresses are his own. In 27 years as a municipal assessor, I ve heard just about everything when it comes to reasons that homeowners believe their property assessments should be lowered. I try to meet with residents early and as often as necessary to help them understand why we assessed their homes as we did, and to consider items that a homeowner may feel we overlooked. Those who remain unhappy with their valuation can file an appeal with the County Tax Board. Like most processes in life, the more educated the participants are, the smoother the process works, and the more likely it is that a fair result will be reached. In my view, several things can help: understanding that the process is about finding the true value of your property, not about your town s tax rate or how it spends its money; knowing the rules of the game; and being honest and direct in your approach. It s About Value, Not Taxes When you file an appeal, you re challenging the amount that was assessed by your town s assessor as the current value of your home. (Your town might have used an outside revaluation company, but the assessor reviews and signs off on the final number and is responsible for defending it.) You re not challenging your town s expenditures or tax structure that s for another place. Without going too far into a civics course, it s your town council, your county government, and your school board that establish budgets and tax rates. In this sense, the term tax appeal, though it s frequently used, is a bit of a misnomer it s really the valuation of your home that you are appealing. You d be surprised how many homeowners say that their assessments should be changed because the streets in this town are a mess or I m really mad about the new recreation center. Such items haven t stopped people from buying in your town. You should feel free to take these up with the Town Council, of course, but they re not relevant to the assessment process. Your appeal has a much more focused purpose you re saying why you think your assessor was incorrect in the number he or she assigned to your property, and your assessor is defending the number. Learn the Rules of Game Listen carefully to your own advisors, and check the County Tax Board s website, to get a full picture of guidelines for an appeal. From my perspective, here are a few important basics. At the county Tax Board, we appear before five commissioners, who will decide between our conflicting views of the proper valuation of your home. The commissioners are county residents and, though they re often lay persons, they receive training in valuation processes. Individual homeowners are permitted to represent themselves before the Board, but corporations and LLC s (and, yes, the town) must be represented by an attorney. Do you need an attorney? Only you can decide. Personally, I think a homeowner should have professional representation by attorneys who have done this before; they know the most effective way to do things, like what kind of evidence can be presented to the Board to support your position, and they re skilled at cross-examining opposing witnesses. Your attorney, however, can t testify for you. I always request the town s attorney to object if a homeowner s attorney starts to RAVITZ describe comparable properties in a conclusory way. An attorney isn t qualified to make valuation conclusions, and it would be unfair for him or her to be able to make broad allegations without being subject to cross-examination. I believe it s also a good idea for a homeowner to use a qualified real estate appraiser as a witness if there are any disputes relating to whether certain items should be valued in a particular way. You re entitled to appeal every calendar year, but you must file your appeal by April 1 to be heard in any given year. Equally important, the relevant date for valuation purposes is October 1 of the year preceding your appeal. Thus, even if you could put together a fancy chart showing that all values in all towns throughout the county have absolutely, positively dropped by more than x percent in the past four months it would be irrelevant to your current tax appeal. It simply doesn t matter what happened to the market between last October 1 and April 1 of this year. There are two main bases for appealing your valuation true value and discrimination. You need to prove one or both, and you have to do this by introducing competent evidence supporting your position. True value is the easier of the two for you to prove, because you re talking about your own home and what it should sell for. With a discrimination approach, you have to show that you re being unfairly treated, or discriminated against, compared to other homeowners whose properties are the same as yours. Most homeowners use the true value approach. The Tax Board has specific rules about identifying comparable properties; again, it s my opinion that a homeowner does best to submit an appraisal report and bring in the expert who wrote it as your witness. A lot of times homeowners present an appraisal prepared for another reason perhaps for a refinancing, an estate proceeding, or the purchase of property. The Tax Board is free to consider any evidence it deems competent. It seems that the Board accepts most such documents, but reserves the right to afford whatever weight the document deserves. Our attorney is free to argue that, in the absence of testimony from the person who prepared a homeowner s report, the report should not be given much weight at all. Comparing properties is a very specialized process, but a couple basic, common sense requirements are worth considering: comps must be recent (to show the present market) and comps must be truly similar to your property. For the finer points, once again, it helps to use professionals who are familiar with the process. Finally, never overlook that you can arrange an informal meeting with your assessor to see if a settlement might be made to avoid the Tax Board hearing and you can do this right up to the courthouse steps. (Settlement even can occur during a hearing, with the parties stipulating to a new number.) Be Honest I can t tell you how many houses I would ve bought on the spot if homeowners were being serious about the price they d ask if they were selling their home today (a key inquiry in establishing current market value). Unfortunately, people lowball when they challenge their assessment, and this gums up the whole process. Let me put it another way: if you tell family and friends that your house is one value, or if you ve used a high figure when you ve asked a bank for a mortgage, it just doesn t wash to turn around and argue to a bunch of land use professionals people who know the local market inside out that the house is worth a number that is half of what you ve told everyone else. You lose credibility by doing this, and in all likelihood you ll lose your appeal. Rather, be honest and direct as you describe to your assessor or the Tax Board the detailed reasons why you believe that relief is appropriate. Try using photos to back up your argument; a picture may be worth not only a thousand words, but some dollars, too. Donated by Crest Savings Bank, the sign replaces a smaller version that will be moved to the 15th Street lifeguard headquarters. Seconds Are First According to Diane Wieland, Director of the county s Department of Tourism, a whopping 49 percent of the county s dwellings are second homes. Meanwhile, the state has announced that Cape May County holds a full 47 percent of the state s second homes. That s first place for the seconds. Small wonder that so much effort and money is poured into tourism. The county is sponsoring a Tourism Conference on May 8 at the County Administration Building. Call for more information.

48 A48 From the Publisher We live in a moment of history where change is so speeded up that we begin to see the present only when it is already disappearing. R.D. Laing, Scottish Psychiatrist ( ) The Winds of Change I recently met three Ukrainian boys while walking in Wildwood Crest. They are here to work for the summer season, and it was refreshing to hear their enthusiasm for the U. S. and all it has to offer. During our discussion, I mentioned it seemed that among the reasons for the European anti-american sentiment which has seemed so prevalent in the recent past, is the notion that Americans are too religious. In response, all three young men proudly displayed the crosses they wore around their necks. So much for that. It seems that the winds of change are blowing through Europe, providing us with some points to ponder. Consider outgoing French president Jacques Chirac. He is getting ready to depart office after 12 years of leadership, and has been blatantly anti- American, especially recently. Yet according to a recent Wall Street Journal article, after 12 years the best that could be said about Chirac is that he leaves a lackluster legacy. It would be nice to think that perhaps anti-american government policies and attitudes don t carry much weight with the French people anymore. Are we coming full circle with Europe? Then there is Germany. According to a recent article in the German newspaper Rheinische Post, there has been much discussion of the threat to Europe currently posed by Iran, and some are calling for a return to a common defense from both NATO and the U.S. in the face of that threat. It seems that the winds of change may be healing years of a rift, when after the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1990 it seemed Europeans just didn t need us anymore. Now that a potential threat is on the horizon, it is the U. S. they seek out for protection. And then there are those Ukrainian boys with their crosses. It looks as if the winds of change are also bringing religion back to Europe. In spite of a zealous atheist movement currently underway there, fully three-quarters of Europeans still describe themselves as Christians. Theos, a new British-based Christian think tank, puts it this way: Faith is on the public agenda in a way that is unprecedented in recent times. The war in Iraq has been such a growing and contentious issue here in America that it is easy to lose sight of what is happening in Europe. But can it be that the winds of change are blowing there and how long will it be before they are felt here in America?

Since my retirement from law enforcement several years ago, I did not go to doctors all that much, even when my wife Lisa would urge me to do so. I am 59 years old. It was not until my daughter, Alyssa, and my son Joe, (both recent college grads) got on my case and drove me to get a stress test. That nagging was stress enough. Upon seeing Nanavatti, he urged me to stop smoking. I replied to him that my children wanted me to acquire a prescription to aid towards that end. A pill-form-12-week-program was started and I stopped smoking one week before my scheduled stress test. The test involved injection of DEP Has Not Given Approval For High Rises To The Editor: After reading in the April 25 issue of the newspaper that The Department of Environmental Protection has given their Seal of Approval for World Class Hotels in Wildwood, the truth needs to be told. The DEP has not approved any high-rises in the City of Wildwood. Many issues will have to be resolved prior to any approvals. It will take years to resolve the litigation that will precede any ground breaking in the City of Wildwood. For the spectators, sit back and relax it s going to be an interesting couple of years.

Three months into retirement, hundreds have asked me... Three months into retirement, a couple people have asked me how I like it. Well, there is a difference between retirement and retirement plus illness. We always thought retirement would mean we could get up and go places at the drop of a hat. Before, both my wife and I worked and there wasn t much hat dropping. But pulmonary fibrosis, a disease you love to hate, has made get up and go a pain in the you-know-what. I m on oxygen 24-7, although so far, I can go without it if I am just sitting around, at rest. Walking around the house tethered to a plastic hose connected to an oxygen condenser has added a certain spice to our life. I am not supposed to go within six or eight feet of an open fire, so every time I head to the kitchen I call to my wife, Fire going? or Fire in there? I have been unsuccessful in training her to shout Fire in the hole! every time she lights a gas burner. She also trips over the tubing a couple times a day and reacts by warning, I m going to kill myself yet! I doubt that. A sixth broken ankle maybe (she s currently in an air cast with her fifth), but I doubt the fall will kill her. Incidentally, even though I am sitting as I write, I stay connected to the oxygen so we can t blame a shortage for typos. Retirement has not meant sleeping late, but it sometimes means getting out of my pajamas late. Once dressed, I ll admit it is not always in the sartorial splendor for which I was famous at the Herald. When I was working, I always tried to have my socks match my shirt (honest), even if it was a color tee-shirt with a message like Senior Citizen: Give Me My Damn Discount. Now I look a lot like Jeff Bridges in The Big Lebowski, a movie most people hate, but which I highly recommend. Retirement has not meant addiction to daytime television, but there is one program I like to see to remind myself of what s right with the world. Judge Judy. I would vote for Judge Judy for president. So much common sense. So much fortitude. Actually, I wish she were a White House reporter. Her line I love best is, Look me in the eye and don t lie! If only she could challenge Bush, Cheyney and the others in the gang that can t shoot straight. Likewise for all the candidates for president, Democrat and Republican. Many reporters have embraced the Internet to the point of GREED IN HIGHER EDUCATION? Posted today in my Blog: The lender-higher education scandal. It's one click away on the Herald Web site, www. CapeMayCountyHerald.com. a solution, which would show up on pictures of my heart. After the pictures were taken I was instructed to rest. Then I was administered the treadmill test and more pictures were taken showing my heart after the stress. After I left Nanavatti s office, I came home and within an hour his office called me. A nurse from his office instructed me that Nanavatti would like to go over the test results with me. Instantly, I knew this was not a good sign. I called my wife, Lisa, at work and informed her of this and she told me not to worry and that we would deal with it. Upon seeing Nanavatti, he informed me that he discovered problems with my heart and wanted me to have further tests performed. He gave me options of a C-scan or cardio catheterization. I (Page A51 Please) More Letters Page A49 Gratitude is merely the secret hope of further favors. François La Rochefoucauld asking sources questions by . How they look them in the eye, let alone ask follow-up questions, is beyond me. You need to say, or imply, Look me in the eye and don t lie. I read a daily newspaper account recently in which the reporter said the person he was writing about did not immediately respond to our inquiry. Why should anyone expect an immediate response to an ? How many times a day does the average person check his ? I average four or five, but that s because I m managing my Blog. I have to go to the imac in what is called either the office or the computer room. Originally, it was daughter Danielle s bedroom. Then my wife replaced the bed with a sofa bed, redecorated, and started calling it the Arizona room for reasons that escape me. When I was working, I would haul my three daily newspapers to work where I never had time to read them and then haul them back home and try to read them at night. Now I actually get to read them, frequently in the morning. Sometimes Pat and I are reading papers at the same time and I note she talks back to the paper. She is incensed by any crime story that does not result in a conviction and sentencing to at least life in prison. She complains loudly about the judicial system. Although I know they would like to come, I could never invite Carmen Alvarez and Ray Batten over to the house for a drink. My wife, reading the paper, recently confided to me that she hates skipping. Skipping? I said. What she meant was that she hated jumping, stories that continue and jump from one page to another. Me too. Some things don t change despite retirement. I can t run and I can t hide. Ruth Fisher, the South Dennis environmentalist, called me (I m in the book) the other day to tell me that bees are disappearing. My first reaction was to celebrate because if I see a bee I go the other way. Ever get one in your car while you re driving? Then I thought about all the honey we ve bought over the years. So when she said could she send me some info, I said sure. The postage cost 2.07, to give you an idea. Look for a future column on bees. The best thing about retirement so far, and probably ever, was a retirement dinner the Herald gave me at the Golden Inn April 22. There are no words to tell you the many things the already-busy employees found time to do: typewriters and clever decorations on every table, photos galore, slide shows, posters, balloons. Fortunately, I went early so I was able to wipe the tears from my eyes before most of my colleagues arrived. My children and grandchildren were overwhelmed at the many indications of high regard for me and my 25 years at the Herald. So was I. Maybe it was all worth it.

49 opinion A49 COMPASS POINTS... By AL CAMPBELL S Cape May Court House is a quaint place, endangered by growth and traffic. What it needs is a small, central urban park where people can meet, reflect on life, and perhaps become the place of Memorial Day observance. It s an idea that the municipal officials should consider because, if and when the Thurston Elmer Wood American Legion post home is sold, there will be no focal point for a traditional Memorial Day parade conclusion. There is a place that could, with approval from the local board of education, become such a visual and sentimental focus. That site is north of the school district Administration Building on South Main Street. At present, the site has the rudimentary stuff of a park: The cupola of the original Middle Township Elementary School, which is sorely in need of repair, and a monument in place dedicated to the school district graduates who served in the military. Let us say, without divulging any state secrets, there exists a beautiful clock, like the one the Stone Harbor Realty Owners Association bought for the borough, available for immediate placement, readily available at no cost to the people. Given the wealth of knowledge that exists within Middle Township for landscaping, the site could become a real gathering place, almost like the old eagle in the court of the Wanamaker s Department Store in Philadelphia. Meet you at the eagle, was a commonly uttered Philly phrase. Meet you at Veterans Park, could be the next common Court House utterance. When the Legion property is sold, as it surely will be when the right buyer comes along, it is my understanding the township will assist in relocating the monument which is the site of wreath placement on Memorial Day, but which few, if any, ever took the time to read. If interested, visit the site on Hand Avenue and read it. That monument s relocation would give the South Main Street site two monuments, one tall, one short. Such a park could become a place of public pride. A flagpole could be erected and perhaps other tributes, like a mosaic compass or something that depicts the armed services, could be added. Schoolchildren could perform community service by planting flowers or weeding the site. If someone restored the cupola, and repaired the bell, used long ago to summon scholars to study, that bell could be tolled on special days, or to memorialize each veteran from the district who has paid the ultimate price serving America. Certainly, a naysayer would shy away from the notion of a park, thinking it too costly. The project could be undertaken solely by local organizations, all of which have a kitty to help with community projects. It would be an outlet for them, and allow them to point with respect to something they helped to create and maintain. The late Louis Irmler, a Court House resident who took care to replace the parts that the years had consumed, was the last who repaired the cupola, to my knowledge. Surely, there would be ample volunteer carpenters who would love to participate in the restoration of that symbol which is a vital part of the county seat s heritage. Is there public support for such an idea? I d love to hear it. Below is a picture of what the site looks like today. Imagine what it could be with a clock and another granite monument. Best of all, it s already partly in place. That s a winwin situation if ever one existed. W N E Our Readers Write Pilot Responds To Letter Writer To The Editor: I would like to comment on the letter written by Dr. Steven Fenichel (April 18). In his letter, Fenichel refers to me as a High School Student and F-16 Pilot. The latter qualification is correct; I am an F-16 fighter pilot. However, I am currently enrolled in a Master s degree program and graduated in 1994 earning a degree in aviation management. I wrote in my original article that I was a Master s degree student. Therefore, I am left to interpret his high school comment as a childish dig, or feeble attempt to mislead readers. My thought on his letter is: He cited a quote from over 60 years ago, which I assume he cut-and-pasted current names and titles into. He did nothing to explain his true feelings concerning Stockton s Homeland Security Program. He does not indicate any negative aspects resulting from students learning how to protect the citizens of this country. Fenichel should publish a cogent argument against the Stockton Homeland Security Program so I, and others, can understand what his true concerns are. Do not deflect the question with quotes from World War II, with universal healthcare being true Homeland Security, or with equating a long-serving officer in the military to a high school student. MAJOR ALBERT DANZA 177th Fighter Wing Port Republic Lawyer Presents Another View on Merck Lawsuits To The Editor: In reply to the writer claiming Vioxx suits raising the cost of drugs for the benefit of lawyer s pocketbooks, I point out that Merck is facing many contests. For example, the U.S. Department of Justice and several European cities have launched investigations to determine whether criminal charges should be brought. In September, California subpoenaed information related to placing Vioxx on the state s drug formulary. Also, attorneys general in 31 states and the District of Columbia are investigating if Merck violated state consumer protection laws in marketing Vioxx. Merck also faces litigation in Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Australia, Turkey and Israel. The International Union of Operating Engineers Local No. 68 Welfare Fund sued Merck claiming they were defrauded into buying Vioxx or listing it as a drug approved for purchase by those covered.

Mother Teresa Cape May Needs More Live Music By JACK FICHTER Nobody asked my opinion about how Cape May should be revitalized but since I have been covering the city for the Herald for six years and I have had relatives living here since 1901, I ll throw in my two cents worth. There is nothing wrong with paving the mall in brick and adding a few planters and new lights. But the mall is not the end all to attracting more visitors. Few come to Cape May to shop. They come for the beach and to walk around at look at old houses with nice gardens. That s the bottom line. The number one draw of the mall is probably ice cream and fudge stores. There are exceptions. The Whale s Tale is a tourist attraction because it has items not found elsewhere. That explains the large stuffed monkey in my living room. Maybe a couple of the storefronts on the mall that were once hotels 75 years ago need to be converted back into small hotels. The one thing Cape May has always lacked was places to go at night for entertainment. When I was a kid in the 1960 s, my family always went to Wildwood because there was something to do. The Cape May Jazz Festival is an example of a near perfect event. It fills the city twice per year in the shoulder season. The event runs likes a finelytuned Corvette and is a textbook case of great promotion. It is wonderful to hear live music in virtually every venue along Beach Avenue. That is something the city lacks the rest of the year. There are too many clubs with DJ s playing the same songs. There is no shortage of local bands. Put them to work and perhaps visitors will go from club to club like they do during the jazz festival. A good nightlife would greatly help Cape May. Maybe they need a slogan like Warm beach days, cool music nights. We really need the Beach Theatre preserved and with a stage large enough for live music. We need a new Convention Hall but in the footprint of the current facility. Go ahead and add a second floor but leave the Promenade as it is. Too many shops and restaurants were closed during the recent jazz festival. I wish I had a dollar for everyone who looked in the window of Henry s on the Beach to determine if it was actually closed. George s and Blue Moon Pizza on Beach Avenue seemed to do a very good business during the festival. A jazz festival patron told me Cape May needs more places to eat. What Cape May does not need is condominiums. It starts with the letter C like the word cancer. Condos are a creeping, insidious disease that has nearly ruined Wildwood. All it has left is its wide beach and a great convention center. Doo-Wop architecture is on life support. Wildwood s Pacific Avenue Mall area looks like a good place to get hit over the head. Cape May doesn t have that problem. People stroll the town after 2 a.m. bar closing time without a worry in the world. You can walk the promenade at 5:30 a.m. and not worry about meeting a shady character. It s a shame that most of the stores on the strip of Beach Avenue near the corner of Jackson Street are either closed or for rent. An ice cream store and café are both vacant. Gus the Leathersmith had his store open during jazz festival and seemed to do well. What s right about Cape May? The Inn of Cape May, Congress Hall and the Chalfonte, miniature golf, Mid Atlantic Center for the Arts trolley tours, ghost tours, fudge and ice cream shops, bike rentals, clubs with live bands and anything to do with birding. What s dangerous for Cape May? Anything that modernizes the city. That s not why people come here. Bruce Minnix was right when he titled his video, Cape May, A Place Out of Time. Cape May is a backwards time travel experience. Let s not tear down houses and build plastic Mc Mansions. When an old home is about to be torn down in Cape May Point or Lower Township, maybe it should be moved to Cape May to replace a 1950s rancher and the owners given a one-year pass on property taxes. Cindy s World Don t Forget the Hot Banana Peppers By CINDI JO KLUGER I went scrounging the other day for something sweet and found, to my delight, a few black jellybeans left behind from Easter in the bottom of the candy dish. It was the perfect dessert after a sandwich covered in hot banana peppers, which I put on practically every thing. O.k., I know many will cringe at the idea of black jellybeans, and others won t be able to stand the thought of hot banana peppers. But it could be so much worse. I have a friend, for example, who will eat practically anything. A couple years back on a trip to an Asian country, he found a street vendor who was selling some kind of fried insect rolled in sugar. So he bought a bag of them. He said the outside was crunchy and the inside, which you sucked out, was soft and that it really wasn t that bad. The kicker is he hates caramel. You know, the sweet, golden stuff you pour over ice cream and top with whipped cream and nuts? He hates the stuff. He ll eat fried insects, but won t touch caramel. A couple years back I happened to pick up a copy of The New Yorker while waiting in a doctor s office and found an article about a group of people in New York City who created a once-a-month dinner club with the goal of trying different recipes made from offal. Offal is the entrails and internal organs of a butchered animal. I don t know, maybe for lovers of scrapple and haggis, dishes I d never heard of until I moved to the mid-atlantic, a fine dining meal of offal doesn t sound that bad. I, however, get this sickly, twisted feeling in my stomach just thinking about it. Of course, for some people eating offal is completely common. In Asian countries, particularly, many internal animal organs are eaten. In Japan, chicken offal is spiced, skewered and grilled and served with a drink at pubs. In Pakistan, a favorite dish called khatakhat is made up of a combination of brains, liver, kidneys and other organs. In countries such as Greece and Turkey, a dish called splinantero consists of liver, spleen and small intestine, roasted over an open fire. In Italy, fried or stewed brain and boiled intestine are often served with tomato sauce. Personally, I think it all sounds like a great argument for choosing to go vegetarian. In fact, on several occasions I ve attempted to go vegetarian. I think it s a great idea for a whole number of reasons, the first being that I love and respect animals. I just wish a tender, juicy piece of prime rib didn t taste so good. One problem with being a vegetarian is that in order to get in enough protein you have to supplement your diet with things like tofu. I find something completely offensive about the texture of tofu. I want to like it, but it s got that smooth, gelatin consistency that over-excites my gag reflex. One step up from vegetarian is vegan, which is someone who not only avoids eating meat, but also animal by-products, such as milk or eggs. Put vegans and offal eaters in the same room and you ve quickly got drama better than an episode of The Sopranos. Vegans eat only plant-based food. I think this is also a great idea, except that it becomes even more of a challenge to get in the vitamins and nutrients one needs for good health. Not only do vegans have to supplement their diet with protein-rich products like tofu, they also tend to replace things like (Page A51 Please)

50 A50 opinion Our Readers Write These Hotels Will Change the Wildwoods To The Editor: We read almost daily about how taller hotels will cause problems for the Wildwoods. As someone who has owned and managed many motels in the resort for nearly a quarter of a century, I strongly disagree. Admittedly, our company brings a different perspective because our principals have managed both local Doo Wop motels and Hiltons, Marriott s, and other franchise hotels of 25 stories and higher in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and California. That experience gives us a different view of both the opportunities the buildings offer and the certainty of their success. People say, These hotels will change the Wildwoods. Obviously, they will bring change. They will expand the lodging inventory, look different, extend the season, provide hundreds of jobs and pay a few million dollars in taxes. Wow, who would want that kind of change and growth as the resort moves ahead as the second largest resort destination in the state? Some people always fear and oppose change. Consider the history of the resort and the same naysayer attitudes that opposed the boardwalk or moving the boardwalk. Many did. Consider the opposition of many when the motel district and Doo Wop motels were built. Now, we appreciate those motels and work to preserve and expand them. In fact, many of the same people now opposing the hotels also opposed the convention center that we now credit with driving the renaissance taking place in this resort we all love and support. The opponents of these changes were wrong then and they are wrong now. Opposing groups do have something in common. They have little or no knowledge of the business. They are not qualified to decide what will succeed. Some of largest hotel consultants and most respected hotel consultants in the country such as Hotel Valuations Systems have evaluated the opportunities for mixed use and condotel operation and shown by cold, credible numbers that the investments will be sound and successful. In a recent trade publication Wildwood was rated as one of the five hottest hotel markets in the country right behind Orlando, Fla. and Hawaii and these folks know what they are talking about. The hotels complement our existing Doo Wop hotels because they provide advertising, event money and support for an extended season that brings an entirely new group of visitors. South Beach, Fla. is one of the most successful resorts on the coast and it is a mix of 17 blocks of Art Deco hotels and a mile of new high-rise hotels. The Art Deco district from the inlet to about 17th Street is bustling because the two types of properties complement and strengthen the market for each other. Grow the pie, expand the market, and extend the season with larger full service condotel properties, and our Doo Wop motels will be even more successful. The buildings are designed to be exciting. Lots of neon, exciting colors and facades, creative pools and lobbies. They are fun and Wildwood is famous for providing that fun experience to generations of visitors. These buildings will add color and excitement to the skyline as you drive across the George Redding Bridge. Are those who oppose this exciting development bad people? No. They are people who are concerned about the resort but they are wrong and it is time we say so. DAN MACELREVEY Wildwood Martino Sets the Bar High at Jazz Festival To The Editor: Carol Stone and Woody Woodland once again contributed greatly to the community of South Jersey by presenting another Cape May Jazz Festival April The theme of this festival was A Tribute to Wes Montgomery, the goal of which was to acknowledge Montgomery s contribution to the role of guitar in jazz and to present accomplished guitar players in general. No discussion of accomplished guitar players can go on for long without mentioning Pat Martino, a real virtuoso of the instrument, and an icon of the jazz world for 30 years. Martino delivered blazing guitar playing for an hour and a half with his quartet of piano, bass and drums, all of who relished the opportunity to follow his lead. Certain artists through history have embraced the concept of mathematics in their art. Notable examples would be the architecture of the Parthenon, or the paintings of Thomas Eakins. Martino has fully made use of mathematical ideas in his playing and these efforts contribute greatly to the depth and intellectual excitement of his music. By way of his own efforts and ability, Martino has cultivated a melodic language all his own something every jazz player strives to do. His concept of harmony embraces all the traditional harmony of tunes, and then goes far beyond it. Despite the apparently iconoclastic nature of this type of freethinking, his music is very logical and formally pleasing. Martino was a very congenial host during his concert; they could not have picked a better person to honor Montgomery, since he was a role model for Martino. Martino told a story about how one night after a gig in Harlem, when he was about 11, that he went out to breakfast with Montgomery, Les Paul, Grant Green, and George Benson. This is how you learn the jazz tradition. I have known other musicians who ve had similar relationships with him, and it demonstrates his willingness and ability to be a mentor in the musical community. There were many other great players presented at the festival: Terrance Blanchard on trumpet led his quartet at Convention Hall. He opened up his show with a full, fiveminute unaccompanied solo. His sound was spectacular and quite worthy of the spotlight. Bob Devos did a nice job of playing guitar with Bootsie Barnes s organ trio. Brian Betz, on guitar was also worthwhile playing with trumpet player George Rabbi. Martino, with his virtuosity and his genuine honoring of Montgomery, set the bar very high for the festival. NORMAN SPURGEON South Dennis Sheftz Made Public Sewer Available To The Editor: When I wrote my letter in the March 28 edition, I didn t expect to get into a controversy with a spouter, but like the words of a song of my youth, Whatever Will Be Will Be. I don t like to be redundant, but I feel that I should recap statements made by the spouter and in my letter. In the March 14 Spout Off, the spouter said, It is an absolute miracle that we now have public sewer. That statement is not true. There was no miracle involved. The spouter, and others, have public sewer because Steve Sheftz, when he was MUA chairman, proposed a program to give residents of three township areas the opportunity to hook up to public sewer. The majority of the MUA board agreed to this. I don t understand the statement The money to fund the projects didn t fall from the sky. This was mentioned in the Spout Off of April 14. He or she is correct. My letter of March 28 clearly states that Sheftz learned that the MUA had money available to start the program. The spouter agrees that the MUA had the money. Apparently he or she is not aware that money left over from a bond is available for another use, by ordinance. The March 14 Spout Off states He seems to have all the answers now (referring to Sheftz) but why didn t he do anything about these issues when he ran the show for three years? During the three years that Sheftz ran the show (to use the spouter s words) three areas of the township desperately in need of public sewer, had public sewer made available to them. Two of those areas had public water made available. The March 14 Spout Off stated: He (Sheftz) also failed to address the need for public water throughout the town. That also is not true. With the help of a couple volunteers and the cooperation of MUA office employees, and the cooperation of township hall employees, Sheftz put together a five-year plan for providing public water throughout the township. Sheftz was not reelected. I heard his successor at his first meeting say I ve been hearing stories about a fiveyear plan, I want to see a five-minute plan. The five minutes are long gone. The April 14 Spout Off states It was a disgrace and embarrassment to witness the nonsense Sheftz as chairman instigated and encouraged. What Sheftz encouraged was to make possible for many residents to be able to hook up to sewer and water. I don t call that nonsense, I call that an accomplishment. JOSEPH W. LONERGAN North Cape May Legislative Briefs COURT HOUSE Assemblyman Jeff Van Drew (D-1st) on April 24 introduced legislation that will authorize the court to try juveniles as adults if they commit certain heinous crimes. Specifically, a juvenile may be waived from the juvenile court system t the adult court system if the juvenile commits a particularly cruel murder. Van Drew was joined by the family of Anna Thompson, a 91-year-old woman who was brutally beaten to death by a 13-1/2-year-old girl, and then proceeded to watch television. She will now be released from prison in less than 10 years after committing such a horrific crime. Blood Drives Set in County COURT HOUSE The Cape May County Chapter of the American Red Cross will hold blood drives at the following locations and dates: May 8, Cannon Lodge Hall, 104 F & AM, 370 Main St., South Seaville, 2 8 p.m. May 12, North Wildwood Community Center, 900 Central Ave., Multipurpose Room, 8 a.m. 1 p.m. Autistic Adults Need a Voice To The Editor: I m an autistic adult. There comes a time when the cup of endurance runs over, and men are no longer willing to be plunged into the abyss of despair. I hope, sirs, you can understand our legitimate and unavoidable impatience. That is a quote from Rev. Martin Luther King s letter he wrote while in Birmingham Jail. The parallels that apply to the autistic people are too many for me to repeat when the best thing you can do is to look it up and read the entire letter yourself. Let me give another explanation. A law is unjust if it is inflicted on a minority that, as a result of being denied the right to vote, had no part in enacting or devising the law. Who can say that the legislature of Alabama, which set up that state s segregation laws, was democratically elected? Throughout Alabama all sorts of devious methods are used to prevent Negroes from becoming registered voters, and there are some counties in which, even though Negroes constitute a majority of the population, not a single Negro is registered. Can any law enacted under such circumstances be considered democratically structured? The laws pertaining to how autism services are implemented were established in exactly the same fashion. Agencies that get state and federal funding view autism only as a disease of epidemic proportions that needs to be cured. This is a result of autistic people being excluded from the entire process of how autism services are implemented. I ve wondered how all of the awareness of autism gets focused on children. There are no adult autistic services. If there are, I don t know about them. All of the focus is on the children. But when they become adults, there s nothing. I ve wondered how there is a complete absence of programs available that could aid in autistic adults assembling in a local community and finding each other. One autistic person speaking alone is labeled as the irrational one. I cannot find any autistic services where I will find the community I am looking for. This is my complaint against the United States of America: Not providing services where I can meet other autistic people; not providing services to advocate for me when I am trying to find a job; for passing those responsibilities to the Autism Society of America which is not a government agency, and which does not provide any services for autistic people. Also for listening to non-autistic run organizations to make policies affecting autistic people while ignoring the autistic people themselves. The second-class citizen status has to change. The autistic people themselves should have the highest priority when consulting about autistic matters. I have been very patient. I have tried to do things the correct way. Nothing ever changes. The autistic people continue to be ignored. We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed. Autistic people want to be listened to, but by the very nature of their disability, they are not very motivated to organize a demonstration. Autistic people are stuck in a hopeless situation of being the recipients of prejudice that isn t likely to change all by itself. I have tried asking. You don t care. I am demanding that United States of America starts to follow a policy of listening to the autistic people. MICHAEL KATZ Bethlehem, Pa. America Cannot Police the World To The Editor: In an April 11 letter, David Crews stated Sadaam was a cruel despot and met with a bitter end. He claimed the Iraqis love our troops. So why are there so many demonstrations in Iraq asking the U. S. to leave? There are other despot leaders in the world who also deserve to meet a bitter end and the world looks the other way. Most Americans were deceivingly led to believe that Sadaam had WMD s and feared we could be attacked at home, until proven a lie. President Bush is unrealistically attempting to bring Democracy to the Middle East at any cost of American blood and money. This war is now longer than World War II. Will there be no end to U. S. presence in Iraq or the Middle East? America cannot be the policeman of the world nor can we settle their civil wars. The Coalition for Peace demonstrations in Rio Grande and elsewhere are in true support of our troops by advocating bringing them home as soon as possible and protecting our own homeland. How dare Crews criticize our protesting against war, as he has his right to protest what he believes. Also as regulars of the attendees at the peace vigils, we have not seen any more than five people stand next to Crews across the street from where we stood. We have attended many protests in Washington, New York City and Philadelphia. The amount of folks who come out for peace is far greater than those who promote ongoing war and its disastrous effects of death and destruction.

YAP - Saturday Nights: Arts and social On April 21 I took my friend, who is very ill, out to lunch at Clary s in Middle Township. When we finished lunch we went to leave, and my friend found she could not get enough strength to raise herself from the table. Thankfully, two officers from Middle Township Police Department were having lunch, and they immediately got up and came to help us. We left and only got one-fourth of the way on the ramp when she gave out again. Before I could turn around and ask for help, there came my two knights in shining armor to the rescue. Finding that she could not stand on her own, they picked her up and carried her to the car and gently placed her inside. What a relief that was. Then they offered to call rescue to get her in the house. In the meantime, their lunch was getting cold. I just had to say thank you to Officers Rich McHale and Ron Miller for being there and being so polite and helpful. Just goes to show there are still wonderful people left in this world.

I chose cardio catheterization, as I did not want to go through the anxiety of a C Scan, which may or may not be able to read properly, only to have to have the catheterization done anyway. At this point I wanted to know what was wrong with my heart. A referral was made and an appointment scheduled. On March 28, I had my cardio catheterization performed. The doctor who performed this procedure, Dr. Vidya Banka, revealed that I had major blockages to five of my heart s arteries. Immediate surgery was recommended and performed successfully on March 30, by Dr. Charles R. Bridges. I continue to Banana Peppers (From Page A49) eggs and milk with soy-based products, which just somehow doesn t measure up.

Shop, ; Cape May Nature Center, ; Cape May Rec., Terry, ; County Museum, Barbara, ; Crest Haven Nursing Attending Middle Township Committee meeting on April 16 was an eye-opener for me. The township budget for 2007 was passed 2-0 (Committee woman Susan DeLanzo, was not in attendance) amid cries by residents to table the motion and try to cut expenses. It was an eye-opener for me to hear, first-hand, stories and lamentations of the difficulty some residents will find in paying their tax increases. There will be many hardships and some taxpayers do not know how they will be able to meet the added burden. Since the township will not cut expenses to administer our town, the obvious answer is to bring in more revenue. We have already practically exhausted our buildable land, so more ratables are out of the question (even though this was never proven to be the answer to communities revenue woes.) Another shock for me at the meeting, was learning commercial properties actually de-valued in worth when residents homes went up in value from two-and-ahalf to five times their prior valuations. One resolution to help residents is to finally initiate a mercantile tax and licensing fees for businesses. This was also brought up by resident Sam Kelly at the meeting and again ignored. Middle Township is the only community in Cape May County that does not have mercantile licensing. Over the last 11-1/2 years since I lived in Middle Township, I have heard this proposal made to committee by many people. Many letters to the editor of this newspaper have also been written raising this issue. It is now time to think of, and act on, alternative tax revenues. If legal, these monies could be placed in a special fund to help needy and qualifi ed resident homeowners defray their tax burden. Why are Middle Township Chamber of Commerce members and all business owners sacrosanct and untouchable? Everyone should contribute to make Middle Township the best place to live, work and conduct business in Cape May County. DOLORES PANTALEO Swainton see these fine professionals for follow-up care.

County Offers Hepatitis Vaccine at Free Clinic COURT HOUSE The Cape May County Health Department is pleased to announce the availability of Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B vaccine in its Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) clinic. County Health Officer Kevin Thomas identifies Hepatitis as a serious disease of the liver. Without proper prevention and widespread immunization, those currently infected with the disease will continue to transmit the disease, Thomas said. Hepatitis A is a virus acquired through the fecal/oral route by person-to-person contact or intake of contaminated food or water. Hepatitis B is a virus transmitted from the blood and body fluids of infected individuals. Infection with Hepatitis A is highly contagious and can cause a mild to severe flu-like illness lasting 2-6 months. Infection with Hepatitis B can cause long-term chronic illness that can lead to cirrhosis, liver cancer and death. The vaccine is available free of charge at the weekly Health Department STD clinic every Tuesday evening from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. The clinic is free, confidential and no appointment is needed, just walk in.

On top of that, no matter what color your teeth are, your eye teeth (cuspid or canine teeth) are likely to be darker than the rest. The front teeth tend to be the whitest, and the back teeth tend to be a shade between the two. The dentist will take this variation into account when whitening an individual tooth. As far as overall tooth whitening is concerned, many procedures claim to be able to whiten teeth up to nine shades. A change of only two to three shades will make a significant difference in just about anyone s smile. Almost everyone wants whiter teeth and a brighter smile.

54 A54 News Digests (From Page A31) Maps with sale locations will be available on May 3 at Borough Hall, the Crest Pier Recreation Center, Von Savage Memorial Pool, Nana s Deli, Bayside Pizza and Pasta and Depot Market. The rain date for the event is May 6. Keep Same Seats WILDWOOD The district s Board of Education members voted to keep President Sandra Hall and Vice President Theresa DiFalco in their leadership positions at the April 25 reorganization meeting. Incumbent members went unchallenged and kept their seats during the school board election. Trevor Sawyer, who was voted in by a majority of write-in votes, was also sworn in at the meeting. Still Talking NORTH WILDWOOD The city is planning on extending the self-imposed deadline on the negotiations of Seaport Pier. The cut off date would have been May 16, but City Administrator Ray Townsend said that more time is needed to work out the legal documents and the obligations of both the city and the developer. It is still yet to be determined if the city-owed pier would be sold or leased to the developer. WB Resorts Development, that submitted one of the two development proposals after the pier was declared an area in need of redevelopment in 2006, plans to build a 55,00-square-foot indoor water park on the pier and a 405-room hotel on the other side of the pier, across the boardwalk. House Ruined, Cat Safe NORTH CAPE MAY Oliver and Nancy Diorio and their cat Fonzo managed to escape their smoke and flame filled home in the Bayshore Woods development Automotive April 22. But despite efforts by volunteer firefighters from Town Bank, Villas and Erma, Diorio, 79, and his wife, 76, suspect that their house, which suffered heavy smoke and fire damage, was probably a total loss. The cause of the blaze is still undetermined and is being investigated by the county Fire Marshal s Office and Lower Township Bureau of Fire Safety. Speeders Beware COURT HOUSE While repaving portions of the Parkway in this county, the Turnpike Authority built new aprons for State Police to lay speed traps. Normally police would keep watch at one of the maintenance roads or use the natural contours of the road, but those spots often become impassable during heavy rains. The new aprons along the parkway will be usable in allweather conditions. Lottery, Cash Theft CAPE MAY A Sea Isle City woman was arraigned here April 26 in connection with theft of lottery tickets and cash, valued at over 75,000 from the Cape May Acme Market over a period of 10 months. The arrest of Stephanie M. Battersby, 27, of the 100-block 45th Street, Sea Isle City, was announced in a joint release from Police Chief Diane Sorantino and Cape May County Prosecutor Robert Taylor. Battersby was charged with one count of theft. Municipal Court Judge Peter Tourison set bail at 35,000. She was remanded to county jail.

Car Thief Nabbed STONE HARBOR Officer David Hartzell checked the registration of a parked vehicle at 88th and Third Avenue, April 25, and found it was stolen from Gloucester Township last month. When John Tatasciore, 40, of Glendora, opened the car he was arrested. He was charged with possessing a stolen car, and bail was set at 15,000. He also had outstanding warrants from Upper Township and Gloucester Township for assault and theft, with bail set at 1,000. Unable to post bail, Tatasciore was remanded to county jail, and the vehicle returned to its owner. Lights, Meters WILDWOOD CREST Police in Wildwood Crest and Cape May wanted to remind drivers that the season has arrived. In the Crest, traffic lights are no longer in their winter flashing mode. In Cape May, parking meters are now operating and drivers should be aware a number of central station meters have been installed in high traffic areas and the lack of an individual meter by a parking space does not mean parking is free of charge. Filed Chapter 7 OCEAN CITY City Councilman Gregory Johnson and his wife filed for bankruptcy last month noting 65,000 in debt. He blamed 8,000 in medical bills owed to Shore Memorial Hospital as part of their indebtedness. He did not have health insurance before being elected to Goshen Mining Site OK d For 23-Lot Subdivision, Lake By JOE HART COURT HOUSE The officers of Albrecht and Heun s subsidiary, P & S Excavating Inc., proceeded with plans for their current mining operation site on Goshen Road April 26, despite not yet having final approval for their proposed site on Indian Trail Road in Burleigh. They were before the Middle Township planning board requesting a subdivision of one parcel of land into 24 new lots, a 23-single-family-home development and one lot containing an onsite manmade lake. The lake is the byproduct of the longtime mining operation. The zoning board unanimously approved the subdivision, but reiterated its insistence that no home construction be started until the mining operation ceases. The company has agreed to retire its mining licenses for the Goshen Road operation when it is given fi nal approval to mine in Burleigh. Thus far, the company s subsidiary Future Mining Inc. has received a mining license for the Indian Trail site and was granted a use-variance to allow the mining operation. It is still waiting for preliminary and final site plan approvals as well as reviews from other state agencies. Many township residents neighboring the proposed Indian Trail site have packed the meetings to raise concerns over the planned sand and gravel mining operation citing traffic, noise, dust, environmental and numerous other potential problems that may arise from the project. The operation will clear over 100 acres of pristine woods for the mining and recycling operations, neighbor Ralph Shuman said. That land has been used for hiking and hunting for many years it would be a big loss for the community. Representatives from environmental agencies, like the American Littoral Society and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, have also stepped up against the project. Littoral Society agent Matt Blake warned of a mine s negative effects on the fragile ecological environment surrounding the site. The watershed, wildlife refuge and the Indian Trail Swamp would all be adversely affected by these projects, Blake said. Additionally, this forest may possibly be the most important parcel of land in the state for migratory birds and other wildlife. Victoria Heun has testified at several hearings that Albrecht and Heun tries to be good neighbors to the communities it adjoins. The Goshen Road operation hasn t gotten any complaints for noise or dust from its neighbors, she said. And the company has never been cited for violations by the state DEP (Department of Environmental Protection). Albrecht and Heun have partnered with the township on many community projects over the years and plans to continue that in council in He also owes 8,000 in legal expenses to the Cape County Republican Organization. New Ferry Director NORTH CAPE MAY Delaware River and Bay Authority (DRBA) officials announced Monday the selection of Heath Gehrke of Frederica, Delaware, as the new Director of Operations for the Cape May - Lewes Ferry (CMLF). Since October 2004, Gehrke has served as the Assistant Director of Ferry Operations. According to James T. Johnson, Jr., Executive Director for the DRBA, Gehrke has the business experience and knowledge of the industry to lead the ferry service. Ethics Answer Man CREST HAVEN Freeholders appointed county Counsel John Porto as ethics liason officer last week at the suggestion of the state Attorney General Staurt Rabner. The position involves addressing ethics questions from county employee and officials. Porto will not receive extra pay. Rec Center Issue STONE HARBOR Three candidates are running for two council seats here in the June 5 primary election. Incumbent Randall Bauer and Karen Lane were both endorsed by the county Regular Republican Committee while Council President Barry Mastrangelo was not. Mastrangelo s snubbing from the Republican organization was believed to be a result of his support for the 2.4 million recreation center project in the borough. Lane led a drive to put the recreation center question to a voter referendum, scheduled for June 26. Bauer also opposed the center. Mastrangelo said he will be running for reelection on a different ticket. the future, Heun said. Part of the company s plans for the Goshen Road site included donating a portion of the property to the township as the Dorothy Heun Memorial Park. That area of the site would become part of the municipal recreation complex, which it adjoins. A few neighbors of the Goshen Road site were concerned with the planned lakeside development. Residents of the Sandcastle Cove development, located on the other side of railroad tracks behind the lake, wanted to know what the company s plans were for the large piles of dirt it has collected between them and the lake. Phillip Heun Jr. said the dirt was part of the reclamation project for the lake. We will be adding landscaping and planting trees to make the lake aesthetically pleasing, Heun said. The Sandcastle residents were also worried with drainage issues for the new development. With water from the new homes draining into the lakes, will we have to worry about flooding? a Sandcastle resident queried. Board Engineer Vince Orlando told them it wouldn t be a problem. Because of the high elevation of the train tracks between the lake and your development, he said, it would be Armageddon if you were flooded by the lake.
