Karma and guilt serve no constructive purpose.Now a days i just want to know where and to who my donations go.Most of my neighbors are deadbeats, with i phones and plasma tv's, playing x-box till 3am.I donated my money to the American cancer society this year,They have a better chance of curing that disease .

Maybe these people aren't on food stamps or welfare. I'm surprised at the responses. People are falling through the cracks, not in other countries but in this county, and we get negative about your neighbors? The economy is bad, and getting worse, so who might be in line at the food bank line next week? So why not give a little now as karma for later. As to the drop offs directly at St Barnabas, I work at those times, are there any other times? Maybe having more easily accesible drop offs might help everyone, I think this is a good idea.

How is it that we give them food stamps, welfare, section 8, and they still be starvin.

i personally witnesed 2 men selling the food that they took from a pantry. this could have been distributed to a needy family, instead these lowlifes are using others charity to buy more booze or cigarettes. and to middle police please do something to keep these lowlifes from harrasing normal people at the shop-rite intersection. they hang around the area all day long. on 3 trips in recent weeks these guys have approached me coming and going from the shop-rite. thanks, happy holidays!

“There is a story told about a man who was stranded in his housed during a flood. A boat came to rescued him awhile he was standing on his doorstep, surrounded by water. But he waived the rescuer off, saying ‘God will rescue me!” The following day the water rose and another boat came to rescue the man now stuck on the upstairs balcony. He again refused help, shouting, ‘God will rescue me!’ Late the next day, he found himself sitting on the chimney, the waters swirling around him. A helicopter hovered overhead, an man shouting, ‘ Lets help you!’ But the man shouted back, ‘God will rescue me!’

As fate would have it, the water rose and the man drowned. He arrived in heaven in a not-so-good mood, complaining to Saint Peter, ‘ I expected you to rescue me!’

‘Frankly, I am surprised to see you here,’ Peter replied, ‘because we sent two boats and a helicopter to pick you up!’”

Why not drop your food donations off right at the food banks at St. Barnabas or Holy Spirit? That's what I do. Drop off at St. Barnabas is Monday from 10 am to 11 am. I don't know the times for Holy Spirit.

Thanks to everyone who made the entire process such a breeze. It seems like every year the lines just go faster & faster. It took us less than 20 minutes from start to finish.

All those people who volunteered deserve a great big "Thank You". They've done a tremendous job!!

Glad to see that they mentioned the volunteers from out of county. Unfortunately you left out the volunteers from the LPN program at the Cape May County Vocational -Technical School.

Sun, 10/26/2008 - 11:55pm

Thanks so much to all the people that put their time and effort into this program!

Embrace th’ sweet children of our land,

As someone that is experiencing this situation I appreciated the Herlad publicizing this awareness! May we one day find a cure!!!!

and to think our leaders are pro-life?

Crime rate up six years in a row in the county---highest suicide rate in state...Pay attention people if you think the republican party is good..Look at the FACTS crime rate up six years IN A ROW...Highest suicide rate in state..They are the ones who allowed it to happen. Rationalize all you want, but when you are the victim of the crime blame the Freeholders for not hiring at Prosecutors Office, blame the republican freeholders for unsafe correctional officer conditions at the jail, blame the freeholders for the high crime rate...or do what they always do, pass the buck to someone else

STAY OUT OF JAIL AND YOU WON'T HAVE ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS

Thu, 10/09/2008 - 4:42am

The majority of the pregnant female inmates who go to the county jail never have sought prenatal care prior to being committed to the jail. They are committed to the jail sometimes under the influence of drugs or alcohol. And some do not even know they are pregnant.
Being responsible themselves and their actions would go a long way in keeping these women out of jail in the first place. One piece of advice to these jailed women: Next time "Just say NO" to illegal behavior and unprotected sex.

Wed, 10/08/2008 - 10:41pm

Are you serious???????? Tough sh**! Don't do something that will land yourself in jail.

Wed, 10/08/2008 - 7:44am

Callinan's statement about credibility is incredible....this isn't court Callinan, it's about health issues. If you were paying attention in the past few years, there were male inmates having problems at the county jail...so why wouldn't you think these women weren't being credible? My goodness, election day, please hurry up.......

Tue, 10/07/2008 - 3:40pm

If you do not like the prenatal care at the jail stay out of it

Tue, 10/07/2008 - 1:29pm

NOW I KNOW KATHY IS GOING TO RUN FOR OFFICE AGAIN! GET A TOPIC PEOPLE GIVE A CRAP ABOUT RATHER THAN JAILBIRDS

Wed, 10/08/2008 - 6:42am

The first person that posted thanks god the tourists have left. If you look at tha suicide stats you will probably see that people start commiting suicide because we have left. STOP HATING. If you want progress extend rt55 and build a bridge to delaware.

not surprised

Cape May County is already the place where old people go to die, apparently it's also a popular place to kill yourself.

Fri, 10/03/2008 - 3:50pm

This is no surprise to me. Ever try working for most Cape May County employers?
Sad,Sad,Sad!
High Taxes, Low Pay,Seasonal Work.......Lack of Employment for our youth and senoir citizens.
I thank the lord that I'm retired have a great wife and that the tourists have left.
Cape May County for years has turned a blind eye to progress and sad to say is paying the price in the form of suicide.
