Some students at Lower Cape May Regional High School (LCMR) are picking up a new hobby and saving lives. The school’s knitting club kicked off this fall when Art Teacher Susan Wolfe and Librarian Tish Carpinelli invited skilled and novice knitters to the library to learn about and improve their knitting skills while making caps that can help save the lives of babies in the developing world.

AVALON –– “Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?”
As twilight dwindled Monday night visually impaired campers sang the National Anthem for a special group of visitors.
Five sons of the late Avalon resident Joseph Conway donated $10,000 to the Helen L. Diller Vacation Home for Blind Children in memory of their father, an active humanitarian with the Avalon Lions Club.

It is always great to hear about the benefit that the Lions Club brings to blind and visually impaired children of all ages. One of the activities you might consider for the campers is an introduction to the sport of Judo. This year the US Paralympic Judo Team will be competing in the sport of Judo at the 2008 Games in Beijing. Judo is one of those sports that builds confidence, character, commitment, humility, respect and responsibility. All of our athletes are blind and visually impaired and will be representing the USA at this historic world event.
Keep up the great job Diller House and the Conway Family for all that you do as individuals and as a Family.....you are truly blessed.
Sincerely,

COLD SPRING — A celebrity softball game July 17 at the Carl Mitnick School between the Cape May County Herald and Exit Zero raised over $1,970 for Volunteers in Medicine (V.I.M.), an organization that provides free medical care for the many county residents that do not have health insurance.
In addition, Harpoon Henry’s in Town Bank donated 10 percent of bar proceeds from an after game party amounting to $250.
The Herald Skeeters lost to the Exit Zero Zeroes 30-10 in a six-inning game.

I think there should be a Softball game between the Lower Township Taxpayers Association and the Lower Township Police. Since the LTTA likes to take swings at the Police, maybe we can get something going here!! We could charge $5 a person to watch and all proceeds could go to the Lower Township general coffer to help alleviate the tax increase. Side bets would be allowed as long as the Township was able to collect 20% of all winnings. All proceeds from the concession stand would go to the Freeman Douglass Park Grass Replenishment Project and proceeds from the 50 - 50 would go to feeding the cats at Douglass Park!! Lets slide on down to "C" shall we !
