Reading these postings, I wonder if any of these people have friends who would stand by them should they take a wrong turn in life. I have known Tim for more than 15 years, and this can NOT be the dentist and friend that I know and trusted for so many years. Let us have compassion and understanding for Tim, as he has been a great dentist that many are already missing way too much.

I don't give a darn that he's a "nice person". People have hidden sides to them. He's just a stupid shoobie who thinks like all the others....he's above the law. A good idea: to confiscate his property to pay for all the man power and loss of the use of beaches during the summer season. He should be held accountable for his deplorable actions!

Poor, sick man, I hope he's court ordered to get mental help.

Wow, This is a shame- not only was it deliberate, but think of all the innocent township and county workers that had to pick up his garbage. Maybe they should all dump their garbage on his doorstep. What a smacktard!

The movement that was lead by McFarland and some others to annex from Middle Township drove a wedge through the community that is still felt today. Now he does this and drags the Manor's name through the mud since one of its' residents was associated with this act of waste disposal. Now I suppose he plays the "mental health card" as part of his defense.
He should be ashamed of himself.

He should be charged, his license revoked and all his property confiscated for repayment for the closed beaches, cleanup, payment of all the government officials who were involved in the investigations, etc. This is what I mean about people who come here and think they are above the law and can do whatever they want!

This was apparently done as a result of a grudge with the Borough of Avalon.

Does anyone else think this whole thing seems a little odd, like maybe a bit of a cover up, for something much worse. It sounds very odd to me that anyone would take a bag of medical trash from PA down here and then dump it into the water where they have chosen to vacation. Or am I missing something here? It just sounds a bit fishy...

He should not be charged with anything. His dental license should be revoked and he should pay for all expenses incurred.

What was the purpose of doing this? To save money? and how much money? I am just curious of his reasoning behind doing such a thing.
