At Wednesday’s commissioners meeting, the administration introduced an ordinance requiring shirts and shoes to be worn on the boardwalk, and banned pants or skirts worn low off the waist.

“I do believe the barometer of our community is based on the boardwalk,” Mayor Ernie Troiano said.

Heroin a growing concern in county

CAPE MAY COUNTY – A generation ago, heroin was all but unheard of in Cape May County.

Veteran officers say there were other illicit drugs sold throughout the Jersey Cape, but heroin, considered a scourge of urban areas, was rarely seen. During the 1970s, according to several sources, the heroin bought at the street level was usually less than 5 percent pure, the rest made up of anything the dealer had handy, from powder to brick dust. Starting in the 1990s, the highly addictive narcotic began…

During the 33 years since 1980 there have been ten different mayors and two recall elections in this popular resort, whose year round population swells from 5,325 to 73,358 in the summer, according to the last census figures. Apparently the voters in that city prefer variety.

The other communities on the island like to keep their mayors in office for a while. Wildwood Crest has had five, North Wildwood four and West Wildwood three. In some cases there were mayors who served, left office and then made comebacks, but the totals do not reflect comebacks.

To the editor:

I’m a journalism teacher for seventh and eighth grade students at Wildwood Middle School. Recently in class, we wrote short essays about what makes Wildwood Middle School special, and wanted to share our finished product. We think we have a very special school, and want others in the local community to realize this as well. We hope you enjoy reading them as much as we enjoyed writing them.

Diversity key to school’s appeal

To the editor:

There are lots of things that make Wildwood Middle School so special, but the main reason is the diversity of students. There are many kids from all different places, like Puerto Rico, Guatemala, Mexico, and much more. In this school, you can learn so much from each other because so many students come from different cultures. You can be yourself without anyone judging you. It doesn’t matters how you look or dress, what matters is how you are on the inside. Wildwood Middle School accepts you just the way you are.
