Thank you to everyone who participated in my first Photo Rally game in last week’s Gazette. The response was so good that we are awarding prizes to the first five participants who submitted all five correct answers.

All five winners receive a t-shirt and are entered in a grand prize drawing to be awarded at the end of the game. There will be more pictures each week and the first five people to submit correct answers will also be entered in the grand prize drawing.

Privatizing EMS would be a big mistake

E-mail Print PDF

To the editor:

I am utterly appalled that so soon in his career as an Upper Township committeeman, Mr. Inserra would propose the privatization of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) in our town. From what corner of the township did this man come out from under a rock? What are your credentials to be able to propose such a drastic change? Have you ever had any involvement in the delivery or management of emergency services?

Let the game begin!

cap Upper Township, NJ

I am a person who likes games, I've written about this before. Games engage people and everyone has fun. I have developed games in the past for clubs to which I belonged, such as road Rallies back in the 1980's for the Beach Babies Mother's Club. I also designed a game of Survivor for play by junior high school students, and I started and was the commissioner for several Bunco Leagues. I even have a certificate of recognition for being a Game Master.
