SOUTH SEAVILLE — A fundraiser for an Upper Township boy who suffers from cerebral palsy and is in need of a wheelchair accessible van is planned Saturday, May 18, in Dennis Township.

BEESLEYS POINT – The Beesleys Point Bridge is slated for demolition this summer, but pilings from the span will be used to build a walkway for anglers that have fished the area around Drag Island for years.

State Sen. Jeff Van Drew said this week that the state plans to set aside usable pilings from the bridge after it is demolished. After construction of a new southbound Garden State Parkway bridge is complete, the pilings will be used to build a walkway from the Somers Point side of the Great Egg Harbor Bay to Drag Island. A short pier from Drag Island into the Great Egg Harbor Bay could also be included.

SEAVILLE – The Seaville United Methodist Church hosted a concert on Friday, May 10 to benefit and celebrate the Fayter Family.

Janet Fayter and her son Charlie escaped from their home when a fire broke out in February, but the flames destroyed all they had. Noley Schenck, a young member of the Seaville church and a friend of Charlie's, asked her parents if there was something they could do to help.

SEA ISLE CITY – The Tri-For-Our-Veterans Triathlon scheduled for Memorial Day Weekend will not use Commonwealth Avenue for its bike race, meaning the road won’t have to close to vehicle traffic at the unofficial start of summer.

Business owners here were worried that closing Commonwealth Drive would effectively close down Strathmere. The road is the only main thoroughfare in town.

STRATHMERE – The post office at 9 Commonwealth Avenue in Strathmere will change its hours of operation starting Monday, May 20.
