  • Students organize second event against cancer

    CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE — Jen Hicks of Cape May Court House says that she will feel moved when she sees cancer survivors taking a lap around the track at Memorial Field on Friday night.

    They will be joined by caregivers and then everyone else, all in coming together to fight against cancer at the second annual Relay for Life in Cape May Court House

    “I just think that’s very cool to start it,” said Hicks, who is senior at Middle Township High School co-chairing the local event.

  • MIDDLE TOWNSHIP — Visitors to The Wetlands Institute can build a solar car, sort shells and compare different kinds of fish.

    Things have become more hands on at the facility along Stone Harbor Boulevard in Middle Township.

  • Some neighbors worry about hurting rural charm

    SWAINTON — Swainton Station store co-owner Pat Flynn says the proposed Dollar General store coming to Swainton won’t match the character of the small community.

    The section of the township is laidback, quaint and leisurely, he said.

    The 9,100-square-foot national retail chain store is being planned to be built along Route 9.

  • Turtle rescue mission

    MIDDLE TOWNSHIP — They peek into storm drains, looking for baby turtles.

    Using what looks like a bamboo pole with a net, 12 volunteer groups pull out the hatchings and take them to The Wetlands Institute along Stone Harbor Boulevard in Middle Township.

    The latest effort of making sure more turtles survive started in the middle of April, said Wetlands Institute executive director Lenore Tedesco.

    Professionals, parents and their children and retirees often monitor the drains once a week.
