FRALINGER STRING BAND will lead the pre-plunge parade along 96th Street toward the Stone Harbor Shiver on Saturday, March 12th. Shiver participants will march toward the beach on their way to a “refreshing” dip in the ocean. With any luck there won’t be zero degree wind chills like those in Sea Isle City on the day of their Polar Bear Plunge.
This egret was hiding behind foliage while searching for food along Avalon Boulevard late last summer.
ALMOST TIME FOR BOATING! With the start of the boating season just a couple of months away, new boaters should be scheduling a boating safety class in order to obtain a boating license required to legally operate a boat in New Jersey waters. The US Coast Guard Auxiliary is offering two boating safety classes in Cape May on Saturdays March 23rd and April 30th, from 8:30am to 4:30pm, at the US Coast Guard Training Center. The $56 course fee includes lunch. To register for the class, contact Theresa Appenzeller at (609) 898-0442 or tappenzeller@
SOUTH JERSEY GAS will be inspecting and replacing natural gas regulator valves that may have been affected by flood waters to ensure compliance with requirements of the Board of Public Utilities. Precision Pipeline Solutions, an authorized South Jersey Gas Contractor, will perform the inspection/replacement free of charge, in about 60 minutes. To schedule an appointment, please call 1 (844) 277-3111.
