"one day they might have to do this?".Dont you know it happened to days later in the villas.

Just an F.Y.I for all the people that complain about training. Fire department drills for paid and volunteer, for on and off the island are necessary. Most cars that we use are given to us for a couple hundred dollars which isnt that much if we have joint drills like Erma and Villas drill and houses are normally free since they are getting demolished. More people need to notice the time and effort that go into each and every drill.

When an emergency or disaster strikes, who do you call? Oh yes...911!
We as citizens and taxpayers expect SERVICE, rapid response and professionalism at a moments notice, no matter the time of day or night. Ongoing training is what makes Cape May's Dept proactive and current for any and all possible situations. Whether you live in Cape May or a surrounding neighborhood, you should be thankful and appreciative of the capabilities these men dedicate themselves to each and every day.
They could be coming to your aid one day, now couldn't they? And you will be happy they did!

If you pay taxes in lower you dont live in cape may. So why be so concerned with what money cape may spends, because it didn't come from your pocket.

Obviously the person who commented about money well spent in Lower Township is as ignorant as they are mis-informed. The constant training that ALL Firefighters do is time consuming and difficult. A combination Fire Dept. like Cape May gives its taxpayers a quick response with a crew of well trained professionals. If you are not happy with your fire protection in Lower then maybe a trip to a council meeting is in order. As for getting paid to sleep I guess you have never observed any other Career Fire Dept.'s in the country that have bunks in their firehouses, but I guess someone with that much knowledge of the Fire Service doesn't need to be up on such things. Good Luck with your sore ego.

The last comment must be from a jealous volunteer. Take the test and become career and reap the benefits.

p.s. Your overstuffed fire district money and wasted spending on duplicated equpment will soon come to an end. Get over it and grow up.

I appauld the Cape May Fire Dept. for taking the time to simulate such an incident so they are prepared when it happens. There must have been alot of time put in to the set up of such an event. While other Fire Companies on the island play cards and sulk, the firefighters from Cape May always seem to be strieving to provide the best services possible. Keep up the good work.

huh

Mon, 04/21/2008 - 9:14pm

One day they might have to do this. Till then I hope your million dollar " t " budget is worthy of a trip to the hospital with a 90 DNR patient. Thank goodness i can atleast see my money being well spent in lower, minus tax dollars for sleeping in bunks and geting paid for it.

Interesting that all the candidates are opposed to the current "form of government". It would seem that is a more politic way of distancing themselves from the current City Manager and his lies and incompetence.

Mon, 04/21/2008 - 5:58am

powick and gaffney ... should not be consiedered.Terri Swain is the most credible candidate.

Sat, 04/19/2008 - 4:01pm

Wichterman says Cape May doesn't want to become a part of Lower Township.....guess he doesn't know his history. Cape May Point, Cape May and West Cape May, as well as South Cape May (the cove) all came from Lower Township, before each seceeded to become their own city or borough. They should all unincorporate and revert back to towns within Lower Township.

It will be sad to see the workers go. They all we so kind to all of us who watched to project. They would stop lound machines while babies were passing, help people find ways into shops while the demolition was happening, ect. You never heard any foul language or offensive behavior. It has been a fantastic process to watch!

Fri, 04/18/2008 - 1:19pm

Good job men!

Mon, 04/14/2008 - 12:21pm

She can save me anyday! I didn't know they had cuties over the base.

It's nice to see the Coast Guard get some coverage, they are such a great part of our community.

To the webmaster: just how do you expect users to find this article whan you posted it down the page so far?

Thu, 04/10/2008 - 11:34pm

Sure lets bring more boats to Atlantic Cape Fisheries that don't work, but still not allow working day boats to dock there. What a great idea!

Mon, 04/28/2008 - 1:45pm

What about the craft show on the 17th of May????

Thu, 04/10/2008 - 10:49pm

How will the closing of convention hall impact jazzfest?

Sun, 04/13/2008 - 2:21pm

I think that mall is looking fantastic. I like the bollards, they help my son to identify where the street begins - afterall he is not even two and the way the mall was made to fade into the street - it can be hard to seperate. As for parking - I have NEVER been to any city or town without having to figure out where to park and having to walk a little way to get to where I wanted to go. As for parking meters, please just bring some quarters - is it that hard? Or pay $4.00 and park at the hardware store. In some towns you aren't even allowed to park if you don't live there. I love the idea of only having parking on one side of West Perry - it is SOOOO dangerous- isn't this where the horse and carrige was hit a few years back?

Sun, 04/13/2008 - 10:31am

The city needs to spend money to improve the back area of the mall. It is cluttered with trash and terrible looking worn down fences and stairs. The added cost would be small when compared to the increased revenue that could be realized when people began to once again think of Cape May as an upper class resort. Property owners also need to take pride in thier shops and improve thier buildings, this would make them appear more in line with thier overly priced merchandise.

#1 The lighting is not a hazard to drivers. It looks fine. #2 I thought they were supposed to fix Carpenter & Lyle Ln. when they fixed the mall. If they don't then it would look very bad. #3 I like the idea of closing Lyle Ln and making the park bigger and reconfiguring traffic. & #4 I agree that all the concrete in front of Star of the Sea looks bad. I liked the grass.

Fri, 04/11/2008 - 2:27pm

This is a comment to Bill Murray: When you eliminate parking behind the mall on Lyle Lane, WHERE do you suppose the customers and employees are going to find parking elsewhere??? Isn't the LACK of PARKING a big issue in the center of town? Asking customers to walk long distances to shop and eat will cause them to DRIVE elsewhwere.
If any parking should be sliminated it should be on West Perry St where trucks have to cross the center lane to travel through that narrow section of roadway. If there are excess parking places in town that I do not know of, would you please point them out so I can tell the people who drive around the block dozens of times looking for a spot. I will direct them to your "parking elsewhere".

Thu, 04/10/2008 - 3:46pm

Mr. Bashaw got the lighting problem right. The bollards are terribie. What happened to the nice grass area infront of Star of the Sea. The concrete makes a beautiful church look like a strip mall. Have decisions been made by the manager and public works? This article seems to say that.
