Love Leaves a
Teen Killed in Pa. Dirt Bike Accident Remembered for His Endless Pursuit of Everything He Wanted in Life By Douglas D. Melegari Staff Writer
MEDFORD —Recent Shawnee High School graduate Daniel McDowell spent his last few days before his June 24 death the way he had been spending his entire life: in an endless pursuit of everything he wanted. The 17-year old teenager, who died in Ulster Township, Pa. from blunt force trauma after striking a tree while riding a dirt bike just five days before his 18th birthday, is being remembered by friends and family for believing that anything is possible, according to his mother, Debbie McDowell. “He believed there is no reason why we can’t get everything we want out of life,” she said in a July 14 interview with this newspaper. “He had this endless pursuit of everything he wanted in life.” Daniel McDowell, who she described as “75 percent fish,” didn’t take “no” for an answer in a good way, or let anything deter him from living his life to the fullest. Perhaps there was no better example of his dogged determination to have a good life, Debbie McDowell contended, than his
efforts to arrange a date for senior prom—his persistence turned what seemed impractical into something that was practical. Debbie McDowell said her family annually spends two weeks in Florida each year, visiting with relatives of her husband, Mark. One place the family frequents on the excursions is the world’s largest McDonald’s in Orlando, Fla. Known for its second-floor arcade, Daniel McDowell, an avid video gamer who loved playing Super Smash Brothers and any Nintendo Zelda Game, was fascinated by the establishment. It was here that he met Lauren Bennett, of Ulster. “He saw she was wearing an Overwatch (arcade game) t-shirt,” Debbie McDowell said. “He struck up a conversation with her and they became and stayed friends, helping each other through difficult times.” When it became time for the Shawnee senior prom this May, Daniel McDowell wanted Bennett to come to prom with him, despite living five hours apart.

220-Acre Abandoned Blueberry Farm Preserved by Rancocas Conservancy

PEMBERTON—A blueberry farm in Pemberton Township, abandoned for a longtime, has been permanently preserved as open space. Rancocas Conservancy, a nonprofit, tax exempt corporation whose mission is to protect environmentally important areas in the Rancocas Creek Watershed and advocate for responsible stewardship of the watershed, preserved the 202-acre property, located between disconnected portions of the 33,647acre Brendan T. Byrne State Forest, earlier this month. The new preserve, near Whitesbog Village, will be named Bucks Cove Nature Preserve, according to Robert A. Hofstrom, a spokesman for the conservancy. Major financial assistance for the acquisition was provided to the conservancy by the Pinelands Commission, the Open Space Institute and the New Jersey Green Acres Program. Hofstrom, in a press release, noted that the Pinelands Commission’s Pinelands Conservation Fund supported the acquisition of the abandoned blueberry farm on its significant ecological value and the need for active stewardship to prevent continuing damage from off-road vehicle use, “which has caused compacted soils, stream erosion and increased sedimentation.” The conservancy, according to the press

Officials Cite Missed Meeting, Response Times for EMS Switch
By Douglas D. Melegari Staff Writer
BASS RIVER—The Bass River Township Board of Commissioners, in response to fallout over its decision to drop the all-volunteer Great Bay Regional EMS Squad 85 as of July 1 in favor of a paid ambulance service, Quality EMS, is now offering a detailed explanation for its decision. The explanation came during a packed July 1 board meeting, attended by concerned residents and representatives of Great Bay and Quality. The board, in response to representatives from both organizations showing up at the latest meeting and residents who voiced concern with the decision, kept the door open to switching back to using the services of Great Bay, or coming up with a compromise in which both entities would be relied upon to service the municipality (the latter of which had existed to some degree). Residents attending the latest board meeting also expressed their disappointment that the decision was made at a special June 12 board meeting, at which none of them were present because its date was announced following a June regular meeting executive session (when all of them had gone home) and legal notices announcing the meeting were later published in newspapers no longer widely circulated in town. In response, the commissioners stressed that they believed they had a responsibility to protect the public and it was a matter of life or death that could not wait any longer. The residents found out about the EMS decision through coverage in this newspaper. Deputy Mayor Nicholas Capriglione, during the July 1 board meeting, told residents that there have been incidents where Great Bay is “toned out” to an emergency call and does not respond to the initial tone. He described that a second tone has then had to be sent out five minutes later. “This wasn’t about money,” he said. “We were worried about response time and that is what this is about. How long is it going to take? Four minutes is important and the time between the first and second tone is five minutes.” Captain Jay Zimmerman, of the Little Egg Harborbased volunteer Squad 85, who was present at the latest

board meeting, shouted from his seat that Capriglione was “wrong.” “When we are dispatched the second time, Quality is dispatched simultaneously on the second request,” the captain said. Capriglione replied that the squad is still “losing time,” to which Zimmerman responded, “Five minutes!” The deputy mayor added that in some cases, after the second tone is sent out, it is determined that both Squad 85 and Quality are unavailable, causing an additional wait time for a third available EMS provider to be located. “We are hoping to try and do away with that,” Capriglione said. “…It is about the residents of Bass River Township.” Also of concern to the board, Capriglione said, was that Great Bay was responding to emergency calls with personal vehicles, instead of an ambulance. Capriglione later clarified during the meeting that he meant that members of Squad 85 were showing up to calls with only a command vehicle and no ambulance, which would have lifesaving equipment on it. Zimmerman replied that the deputy mayor’s concern is “irrelevant” and the command vehicle is a “supervisor’s vehicle” he uses to arrive on scene first to perform an assessment. “It is isn’t irrelevant,” Capriglione said. “These are concerns we have had, brought to us by our fire company. We want to go out and make sure our residents are safe. What would you rather have: a truck, fully manned, waiting, along with extra trucks out upon us, staffed with professional people waiting to roll, or folks waiting for different tones to go off?” Bass River Mayor Deborah Buzby-Cope, in further justifying the commission’s decision, pointed to statistics she said the township received from Burlington and Ocean Counties through an Open Public Records Act (OPRA) request. She claimed the statistics show that Great Bay responded to only 59 percent of Bass River’s EMS calls from January through the first half of June 2019. “It was at 80 percent several years ago,” she said. “So out of 100 calls, you guys made 59 percent of them, and Quality made 41 percent of the calls,
BROWNS MILLS— Browns Mills-based Deborah Heart and Lung Center has entered into a partnership with NFL Alumni (NFLA), of Mount Laurel, to provide quality, cutting-edge cardiac, vascular and pulmonary care to NFLA members.

According to both NFLA and Deborah officials, this new partnership will ensure that former football players and their families, regardless of where they live, can access Deborah’s “nationally-renowned medical services” at its campus in the Browns Mills section of Pemberton Township. “NFL Alumni is proud to partner with Deborah

Heart and Lung Center,” said NFL Alumni CEO Beasley Reece. “This partnership will grant our former players access to world class medical services across the country, while supporting our mission to better the quality of life for our former NFL athletes.” Statistics compiled by the NFLA indicate that football retirees over age 50 have a 13.5 percent rate of coronary heart disease, 46 percent rate of high blood pressure and a 44 percent rate of high cholesterol. The statistics also show that former players exceed the national averages for poor leg circulation and other heart conditions. A high percentage of NFLA members also suffer from sleep apnea, asthma and diabetes. “We are delighted to partner with the NFLA,” said Joseph Chirichella, president and CEO of Deborah. “Football brings families and friends together as we root for our favorite team. Post career, it is an honor to link these players to quality healthcare. Deborah is recognized as a top 7 percent in the nation for heart surgery outcomes and we are excited to connect former players with our specialists.”

Four Juveniles Face Trespassing Charge After ATV Rider Gets Trapped in Ravine WOODLAND—A local quarry, accessible from Burrs Mill and Sooy Place roads, known for being the site of ATV accidents, was yet again the scene of another one earlier this month. Emergency crews responded to the Ward Sand & Materials Company quarry at around 5:25 p.m. on July 9 to rescue an ATV rider who reportedly became trapped in a ravine there from the accident. “Crews located the rider in the woods and had to set up a rope system to get the patient out of a small ravine,” said Shawn Viscardi, chief of the Woodland Volunteer Fire and EMS Company. “Crews packaged the patient and used the rope system to remove her from the woods.”
Lt. Theodore Schafer, a spokesman for the New Jersey State Police, said that the driver of the ATV, a female juvenile, was flown to a local hospital. He said he did not have any word on her injuries. The ATV driver was accompanied by three other juvenile girls at the gravel pit, according to Schafer, all of whom he contended were trespassing on the property. “The four females have been charged with trespassing,” he told this newspaper. The gravel pit, with an address of 223 Sooy Place Road, lies very close to the border with Tabernacle, Southampton and Woodland townships, though it falls in Woodland Township.

Four-Vehicle Crash on Route 38 Leads to Minor Injuries SOUTHAMPTON—A four-vehicle crash shutdown the westbound side of Route 38 in Southampton Township last week. The crash, which resulted in one vehicle being completely mangled, but only led to minor injuries, according to Lt. Theodore Schafer, a spokesman for the New Jersey State Police, happened just after noontime on July 12. It involved a Hyundai driven by Elizbeth Dickyh, of Browns Mills; a Honda driven by Marcia ScottWabel, of Delran; a truck operated by Lorrie Barletto, of Toms River; and a Chevy driven by Barbara Terrell, whom police did not have a hometown immediately available for dissemination. The cause of the crash remains under investigation, Schafer said.

Crash at Routes 532 and 206 Considered ‘Criminal Case’ TABERNACLE—The New Jersey State Police have filed charges against a Jersey City man involved in a July 1 motor vehicle crash at the intersection of Route 206 and County Route 532 in Tabernacle Township. “This was actually a criminal case,” said Lt. Theodore Schafer, assistant New Jersey State Police Public Information Bureau chief. The crash, according to Schafer, occurred at about 6:37 p.m. and involved two vehicles, one being driven by Laurie Bush, 44, of Shamong, and the other being driven by Jarette Vance, 38, of Jersey City.
Schafer said Vance was flown by helicopter to Cooper University Hospital in Camden and sustained non-life-threatening injuries. He was then placed under arrest and charged with driving while intoxicated, possession of narcotics and possession of a weapon. “He was in possession of a stolen handgun,” said Schafer when asked by this newspaper about the nature of the weapon offense. The police lieutenant said he does not have any information that indicated Bush was injured in the collision.

Cuts in State Aid to Local Schools in Adopted Budget Unconscionable Connors, Gove and Rumpf
Students, education professionals, parents and taxpayers in our area will pay a heavy price for Trenton’s unwillingness to admit that the state’s school funding formula is fundamentally flawed and politicized. For all the empty rhetoric and grandstanding about fairness and fully funding public education, the state budget passed by the Legislature and signed by Governor Phil Murphy on June 30 cuts funding to school districts in our area, including Superstorm Sandy impacted-districts. Like many of our constituents, we find this to be unconscionable. That is why we voted against the budget and legislation appropriating millions of dollars to cover the legal costs for illegal aliens facing deportation. Unquestionably, it is a continuation and expansion of the longstanding, but failed
education policy that treats suburban and rural areas disparately in terms of school funding. As urban areas continue to receive a windfall of funding, teachers, parents and taxpayers in school districts that had their funding cut will be lectured by a tone-deaf Trenton on how to do more with less. The rolling impact of a second consecutive year of school funding cuts is already being felt by virtue of the fact that school districts are laying off teachers and other positions. As always, we stand with our constituents in demanding reform that takes politics out of how our schools are funded by the state. In an effort to build a coalition of concerned citizens, who are demanding that the state’s school funding formula be reformed to more effectively serve the needs of residents, our delegation has started an online “Save our Schools” petition, which allows persons to actively engage in this critical policy debate. Senator Christopher Connors, Assemblyman Brian Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne Gove represent New Jersey’s 9th Legislative District, which includes Bass River, Tabernacle and Washington Townships in Burlington County and part of Southern Ocean County.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR The Earth’s Climate is Changing I hear and read many skeptical comments about climate change. Many scoff that we now just have more warnings on our phones and email about possible extreme weather. But we are also having more extreme weather! Two tornadoes touched down in my hometown of Mount Laurel—all within a week Tornadoes were confirmed last month in Delaware and straight-line winds leveled trees in Paulsboro. That is not “normal” weather for the Delaware Valley. At the Jersey Shore, we are now regularly having “sunny day” flooding with water being forced out of storm drains by record high tides and sinking land. In Texas, the rain from Hurricane Harvey produced the third 500-year flood in three years. Last year, Central Texas and its third 100-year storm in five years. In Venice, Italy, St. Mark’s Square flooded four times a year in 1900 and now it floods
60 times a year. Some people say that weather is cyclical and we have had Ice Ages, etc. before. However, that is before we had almost eight billion people living on Earth. The effects of coastal flooding to major cities (not just vacation homes) and unusual floods/droughts that are causing devastation to food sources around the world will cause worldwide migrations of refugees. We are getting many refugees from Honduras now because hotter temperatures and record droughts for the last five years have left two million people there without adequate food supplies. The Earth’s climate is changing. Even if humans were not the main or only cause, we need to do everything we can to slow the effects and prepare for a different future.

Congressman Kim’s
W
EEKLY RECAP
Week of July 7 to July 13, 2019
Supported National Defense Authorization Act: Kim voted in favor of a budget for the Department of Defense, which raises pay for servicemembers and delivers funding for new jobs in New Jersey. This budget, he claimed, helps put military spouses to work. Last week, he also introduced the Safe Water for Military Families Act, which ends the Department of Defense’s use of harmful chemicals that makes water unsafe to drink. This bill would require that the Department of Defense transition to the use of firefighting foam that does not contain harmful PFAS chemicals. Introduced Bipartisan Legislation to Help Put Reservists to Work: Kim joined with Congressman Tim Burchett (R-TN) to introduce the Patriotic Employer Protection Act, which
SOCIAL MEDIA
would empower small business owners to hire more Reservists by strengthening programs aimed at providing entrepreneurs peace of mind if those Reservists are deployed to active duty. The Patriotic Employer Protection Act would restructure Military Reservist Economic Injury Disaster Loan (MREIDL) program and the Repayment Deferral for Active Duty Reservists program so that they better reflect the current deployment trends of Reservists. The bill would allow these programs to be used for any reservists being ordered to active duty for a period of more than 30 consecutive days, broadening the program to more people in need. Stood Up Against a Rush to War in the Middle East: Kim was joined by other national security experts in Congress to call on the House to pass a measure that would prevent President Donald J. Trump from going to war with Iran without seeking congressional approval first. The congressman believes this would give New Jersey residents an opportunity to weigh in and have their voices heard before committing more servicemembers from Joint Base McGuire-DixLakehurst to another conflict in the region. Voted to Support 9/11 First Responders: After Kim and others repeatedly called on Congress to permanently extend the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund, the House voted overwhelmingly to extend the critical program used by first responders who are still struggling with the health effects from the 9/11 attacks. Stood up to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission: Kim sent a letter to the Chairwoman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission demanding a response to questions posed by members of the community in Lacey Township on concerns regarding the decommissioning process at Oyster Creek. This follows a letter from Kim requesting that the NRC hold a public hearing in Lacey to hear concerns from the community. The above feature is prepared by Third Congressional District Rep. Andy Kim’s Communications Director, Anthony DeAngelo, to give readers a summary of his past week’s activities and voting record.

COMMUNITY PEMBERTON TWP. SENIOR CITIZEN COLUMN
By Ebba Liguori
Seniors Enjoy Chivalry, Rivalry and Revelry
For the Pine Barrens Tribune
PEMBERTON—About 50 seniors from the Pemberton Township area, accustomed to homes, apartments, strip malls, restaurants, grocery stores and professional centers found in the local community, were awe-struck when they traveled through the mists of time to a forgotten age and entered a castle last week in North Jersey, just south of the Meadowlands and Newark Liberty International Airport. The castle was that of Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament, an entertainment venue offering a dramatic performance from the Medieval Times, also known as the Dark Ages. The seniors, once they settled into to a stadium-like area of the castle labeled “Yellow Knights,” enjoyed an electrifying show featuring heroic knights on spirited horses displaying astounding athletic feats and thrilling swordplay. Several Andalusian horses appeared in the arena. There are six sections to the stadium-like area, each a different color. Each section is represented by a knight who sword-fights and jousts. The audience cheered wildly for their assigned knight as he and his steed trotted down the “field.”
The art of falconry was displayed when a falcon was released and flied majestically around the arena, before eventually returning to its handler. During each live performance, guests of the castle enjoy an authentic medieval feast while the majesty and grandeur of a centuries old tournament comes to life. The plates were made of a thick pewter. There were no knives or forks. The meal included choices of garlic toast, roasted chicken quarters, roasted half a potato and corn on the cob. Of course, everyone must literally dig in with one’s hands to eat. In Medieval Times, manners and decorum were quite different. Once a knight falls off the horse, the sword fight begins. The knights in this re-enactment train for many months before each qualifies to perform. They are trained in acrobatics and swordsmanship. Every move is timed to appear realistic. Of course, no knight is actually killed, but the possibility of injury is real. At the conclusion of the show, all the riders appear in a grand finale and take their bows! There are a number of Medieval Times establishments throughout the country, most located in tourist areas. The one in Lyndhurst is easily accessible and provides a great venue for a celebration.

t is easy to love those who are kind and gentle, and are loving us back. But loving those who are unkind and not loving us back is almost always a challenge. Parents of teenagers probably know this from personal experience. Teenagers can be sarcastic, ungrateful, and openly express disdain for their elders. It is easy in these trying circumstances for parents to withdraw their love from a child who seems so blatantly unloving. But in those times, it is even more important to follow God’s example and give
Qua uak akkeer ers Wellcccoome omee You MEDFORD FRIENDS MEETING
your love freely to this child who clearly doesn’t deserve it. God’s love for us sets the example for our own love. While humankind clearly didn’t deserve it, God sent his son to redeem us and pay the price for our sins. Those who don’t deserve our love are usually the ones who need it the most, and our quiet example of serving others despite our natural instincts to turn away is a good example of the selfless love that God wants all of us to practice. –Christopher Simon

The Mouth:
Gateway to Your Health
Binky Fairy Saves the Day
Meet two-yearold YeYe. Cute as a button, strong as an ox. Not the kind of little girl you want to Dr. Richard wrestle a binky (i.e. Weber pacifier) away from. But we know that prolonged and continuous use of a pacifier can make significant changes to a growing child’s tooth position, bite, shape of their jaw and even the appearance of their face. Now if this were an adult, we might be able to use reason to ease the child out of using their binky, or suggest that they cut back from 12 hours of binky usage to 11 hours and then to 10, 9, etc. But this munchkin likes her binky and does not want to give up a comfort toy that helps her fall asleep and feel assured during the day. In flies the “Binky Fairy.” The Binky Fairy is a cohort of the Tooth Fairy. The child’s pacifier goes under the pillow and the Binky Fairy takes it away that night. After one week, she throws a party for the child (or gets a gift from them)! This anticipation helps kids decide to want to give up their binky. Waiting a week is a solid amount of time to start breaking the habit. The Binky Fairy needs to have
a lot of hype created before her arrival. She only visits big girls and boys who are ready for the Binky Fairy to come and take away the “bink,” so you need to have a lot of buy-in from your little one. During each occasion that a binky is requested, we have to remind YeYe that the Binky Fairy took it and is going to throw a big party for her! On the day of the party, I suggest you make the little cutie feel special by having everyone compliment how much of a big girl (or boy) she is! A nice little souvenir from the party like a little toy (that does not go in the mouth) can be a helpful reminder of the party and replacement for the binky. A Binky Hero also does the trick for boys! info@LoveYourSmileDental.com

Do Not Supplement with Vitamin K Makers of vitamin D sometimes add vitamin K to it, providing both of these nutrients at the same time. This new trend has not been the standard of practice, and for good reason. In fact, I personally refused to put vitamin K in my own brand of vitamin D because your safety is most important to me. When combined in such a way with vitamin D, vitamin K interacts with antacids and blood thinners, along with drugs for cancer, seizures, cholesterol and even aspirin. Vitamin K is easy to get through natural means. Simply eat some coleslaw, a fruit or a salad. When you take a walk in the sunshine to get vitamin D, do you have to simultaneously eat a salad? No, of course not. It is the same way with supplements; you don’t need both of those nutrients concurrently in a soft gel. Now here are other reasons you may just want plain vitamin D (without vitamin K in it): Hypercalcemia Is More Likely: When you take a supplement with both vitamins D and K in it, these both work synergistically to retain more calcium in your body. Hypercalcemia has been linked to atherosclerosis, cardiac arrhythmias, muscle pain or cramps, insomnia as well as agitation. It is what binds with oxalates to form kidney stones. Vitamin K Causes Blood to Thicken: It is the opposite of a blood thinner. Who wants thicker blood? We are all trying to thin our blood with fish oils, turmeric, ginger, vitamin E, ginkgo and even prescription medications. You see, vitamin K negates the actions of blood thinners (anticoagulants),

which are intended to thin our blood which in turn protects us from stroke and heart attack. You Don’t Want a Bone Formula: Many of you are taking vitamin D for your bones, and the K helps transport the calcium into your bone. In this case, you may want the combination formula, but most people do not ingest D supplements for bone health. It is usually taken to improve immunity, lower blood sugar, ease Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), or to restore lost D which occurs from the drug mugging effect of statin cholesterol drugs. You Just Need to Raise Vitamin D: Those deficient in vitamin D take high doses of the nutrient for a few months to restore levels, but combination supplements will jack up your K (and calcium levels) to a potentially harmful level and confuse the issue. It’s Easy to Eat Vitamin K: Supplementing is un necessa r y. T he recommendations are as follows: Women above 19 years old should consume 90 micrograms (mcg) each day, and men should have 120 mcg. To put this in perspective, one cup of broccoli gives you 220 mcg, one cup of coleslaw provides 160 mcg, kiwifruit provides 63 mcg and sautéed spinach gives you 889 mcg! There are hundreds of foods that offer a substantial

MEMORY (Continued from Page 1)
“He said to me, ‘Mom, why not?’” Debbie McDowell said. “After convincing me, it came down to having to convince her (Bennett’s) mother, Janice. But Daniel was relentless. When he wanted something, nothing stopped him. After a few weeks, Lauren’s mom said, ‘OK, I will bring her down.’ He convinced her mom to allow her daughter to come all the way down to Jersey so they could go to prom.” The friendship between the two teens grew from there, so much so, that, according to Debbie McDowell, her son decided to put off his graduation party and wait until it was his 18th birthday to celebrate the milestone. Instead, he decided to spend the weekend of June 21-24 in upstate Pennsylvania and New York City with Lauren Bennett, as she celebrated her Sweet 16 birthday. “They had a great time,” Debbie McDowell said. “They went to Broadway; they went to Carmines and they did miniature golfing. He had the best weekend of his life. He was having the time of his life. In fact, when we created a

WWW.PINEBARRENSTRIBUNE.COM big memorial of all pictures, a lot of them were from the final weekend of his life in in upstate Pennsylvania and New York City. I have never seen him so happy, so content and so full of joy; doing things with this young lady and family.” Debbie McDowell remarked how her late youngest son had a unique ability “to draw confidence out of people”—an ability, she said, his classmates cherished. It was this ability, she noted, that helped his prom date through some personal struggles. “In his memory book, his classmates wrote of him that he would walk into classroom, see somebody sitting there by themselves, so depressed, and he would sit next to them and would not leave until they felt better,” Debbie McDowell said. “Or they wrote that they would be walking down the hallways of school, so upset, and there would be his smiling face smiling at them. They wrote how they just felt so much better. He had that ability to make people feel so much better, that is how he worked. That was Daniel. He seriously enjoyed life. “He would just lift people up. You could not be depressed around Daniel. It would be virtually impossible. He lived life that way. Everything to him was thrilling. There was no
such thing as a cloudy day to Daniel. He talked sunshine in everything.” In his quest to live life to the fullest, Daniel McDowell, according to his mother, went on a dirt bike ride on June 24 with Lauren Bennett’s 14-year old brother after she left to go to work. But Daniel McDowell’s life was tragically cut short that day while riding on Mountain Road, an unmarked, two-lane dirt road, just west of Route 220. “He rode ahead of her brother, but there was a very sharp curve and he didn’t make it,” Debbie McDowell said. “He could see clearing, but as he started to go around, there were two trees there and he went into one of them head first. He died of blunt force trauma, with severe trauma to his head and face. He was wearing a bike helmet, instead of motorcycle helmet.” The Bradford County coroner, Debbie McDowell said, pronounced her son dead at the scene just after 8:20 p.m. “He actually passed away exactly to the minute from graduation of high school one week later,” she said. Daniel McDowell was to start at Rowan College at Burlington County in the fall. He had always wanted to become veterinarian,
according to his mother, after watching one of his pet chinchillas die suddenly with no known cause determined from an autopsy performed, though he ultimately chose to major in computer science a few weeks before his death. “‘That is not right; something is wrong because an animal does not die without a cause.’ he would say to me,” Debbie McDowell said. ‘“I do not want this happening to another pet. That will not happen if I am that pet’s doctor.’ At that point, he acquired a heart for animals. It just hurt him way too much.” Ironically, the bark that fell off the tree Daniel McDowell impacted, fell off in the shape of large heart, according to his mother. “He was a delightful, smart, confident, amazing young man, always seeking to help those in need; especially anyone suffering from depression or loneliness,” Debbie McDowell said. “He was an extremely compassionate and caring person; encouraging people to always see the best in themselves, and offer hope in the future.” Daniel McDowell not only left behind his parents; his brothers, Matthew, David and Kevin; but also, his newest chinchilla, Casper, and lop-eared bunny, Jet.
Delaware River Watershed Initiative which seeks to protect water quality in the Delaware River Basin. “This land is an inspiring model for protecting the forested source water of the greater Delaware River, and for safeguarding the drinking water of millions of local residents along the river,” said Peter Howell, executive vice president of OSI. “We applaud the conservation ethos of the New Jersey Conservation Foundation and Rancocas Conservancy to bring this effort to fruition.” Additional funding was made possible through an award from New Jersey Conservation Foundation’s Franklin Parker Conservation Excellence Grant and from the Pinelands
Preservation Alliance through grant money it received from the William Penn Foundation. In addition to picking up bottles, cans and other debris, acquisition of the property required the removal of three power boats and a “burned-out hulk of a house trailer.” Taking the materials from the property required five roll-off containers. Volunteers from Pinelands Preservation Alliance turned out on several weekends to clean-up the property. In addition to the clean-up, volunteers are “restoring the property” by planting Atlantic White Cedar trees along stream and wetland corridors. The conservancy now has a total of 11 preserves and invites the public to enjoy
“passive recreational activities” on its newest preserve. Hofstrom said the conservancy hopes to soon establish marked trails throughout the parcel providing opportunities for hiking, wildlife viewing, birding, photography and botanizing. “Among the threatened species calling this habitat home are Scarlet Bluet, Pine Barrens Bluet, Arogos Skipper, Pickering’s Morningglory, Barred Owl, Pine Barren Treefrog, Northern Pine Snake and the Corn Snake,” he said. “An interesting feature to explore is the periglacial dune, designated the Whitesbog Village Sandhill Natural Priority Site, that runs from the property into Brendan Byrne State Forest.”

Never-ending Birthday Countdown I am fairly certain that in the history of all mankind there has never been anyone who loved her birthday more than my Mother. She relished it, she cherished it and made for darn sure that those around her celebrated it as much as she did. No one ever forgot Mom’s birthday. That is mainly because she began the countdown to her big event 364 days before it occurred. I am here to contend that there is nothing wrong with a big birthday celebration and feel right in having one because that is the way I was raised. As much as Mom loved her own big day, she loved others’ just as much or even more. She planned luncheons or events and made sure that everyone felt special on the anniversary of their birth. I follow suit with birthdays and to the tune of, “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree,” like to make sure that all of my loved ones enjoy their big day to the fullest. That being said, my family of men don’t really get why birthdays are a big deal. Oh sure, as children our sons happily enjoyed their big parties and homemade Superman cakes and new footballs. Now as grown men they wonder out loud to their father, the biggest party pooper of all time, what all the guff is about. Being a bit of a martyr, I didn’t tell them my birthday was coming up on a family vacation a few years back and subsequently received nothing. There we were, in the mountains, staying at a lovely condo and I woke up on my birthday to nary a card, a flower or even a cup of coffee to commemorate the auspicious occasion. We, as a family went on a lovely bike ride, toured a small town and settled on a small diner for lunch. My husband, Pat, suggested that to cut back costs, everyone should simply stick to the salad bar. Oh, the moans and the groans from my four famished sons, as they realized they would be stuck with greens instead of substance. They ordered first and when the waitress looked to me, I ordered a full meal. I was met with wide eyes and gaping mouths. “What makes you so special?” asked Vernon, our eldest and wise-cracking son. “Well…” I replied as I anticipated the response I would get, “…for starters, it is my birthday.”
Lori Clinch COLUMNIST
That will teach them! The best present, on any birthday, that I have ever received, was an email from a 90-year-old gentleman named George Perlinger. I had written about an important date and time on my calendar, but did not pencil in what the appointment pertained to. Although I didn’t actually say the day, Perlinger had figured out from my description that my birthday was July 16. That was several years ago. Since that column, Perlinger has emailed me each and every month, on the 16th, telling me happy whatever fraction of the year the particular month is from my birthday. He always sends a happy email telling me how he plans to celebrate my big and monthly event. Sometimes he would celebrate it by getting his wife’s toenails trimmed. Other times he would celebrate it by getting gas or by buying groceries. T hese events may fa l l shor t of a n inauguration, but Perlinger never lets the 16th of the month go by without a note letting me know he is thinking about me. As most people who write a weekly column will tell you, we don’t do it for the money and that is certainly a good thing. We barely earn enough to keep the family in green beans. We do it because it is in us to do so, and if we can bring an ounce of joy to others at the same time, well…win-win! I have already reminded the family that the 16th is quickly approaching. I know that although they won’t fill a room with balloons, or shower me with flowers, they will think of me on that day. Meanwhile, I will keep the celebration low key and look forward to that email from Perlinger.

CROSSWORD & SUDOKU ANSWERS ON PAGE 17 Here’s How It Works:
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

both residents and officials as one involving members of Squad 85 requesting to leave behind letters at calls seeking up to a $200 donation for the care provided. “It doesn’t matter whether it is one issue or 50 issues,” Buzby-Cope said. “You are the caption.” Zimmerman replied that he had just been given the mayor’s number through Facebook messenger and that she regularly attends Great Bay’s Board of Trustees’ meetings as a liaison to the township, but never mentioned the response time concerns during the trustees’ meetings. “The bottom line is you knew we needed to meet,” Buzby-Cope said. “That is where it has gotten us several months later.” Zimmerman tried to leave the commissioners’ meeting at this point, but didn’t leave immediately after residents shouted from their seats that they had questions for him. “I am going to get my members back on their trucks because no one is responding to calls, no pun intended,” the captain said. One of the residents who stopped him asked if the emergency officials were communicating via Facebook messenger. “We have been communicating through Facebook messenger,” Zimmerman said. One woman in the audience called such means of communications “inappropriate” and told the captain it “could get him in trouble.” Another person insisted that Wetmore provide his opinion on which company the township would be better off utilizing. “It not like one is not safe or one is safer,” he said. “This is my opinion, I, as the chief and Little Egg Harbor resident: if they don’t have a duty crew, send us straight to Quality…which he (Zimmerman) says. That could have solved the problem, but we tried it with other captains up there and they wouldn’t hear it.” During the course of the latest commission meeting, Sal Murante, owner of Quality, said a township resident, or their insurance company, will receive a bill for services performed by Quality. Residents were not billed by Great Bay since it is a volunteer entity. “We are going to bill your insurance,” Murante said. “If don’t have insurance, we are going to bill you. We

meaning 41 percent of the residents are paying, as it is right now. Plus, the town is paying $12,000 to the volunteer squad, plus donations and time lost.” Zimmerman disputed that the response time had dropped significantly, saying Great Bay responded to 71 percent of EMS calls in Bass River and that the mayor was comparing a six-month period to previous 12-month periods. “No matter what you do here, no matter what resolution you come to, there are going to be times and places where somebody is not going to get an ambulance as quickly as they need,” Zimmerman contended. The captain added that he felt there was a “very easy medium ground” solution and that all of the disputes “could have been settled at a simple meeting.” Capriglione, at the start of the latest board meeting, told residents that multiple attempts to meet with Zimmerman were unsuccessful. In February, he said, Zimmerman declined to meet with the commission and the local fire company because of a honeymoon. Capriglione said Zimmerman failed to show up at a March meeting scheduled to discuss the concerns of the local fire company and commission, despite telling Buzby-Cope the night before he “wouldn’t miss it for the world.” Zimmerman, at the July 1 board meeting, apologized to the commission for missing the March meeting that had been setup, yet maintained, “Not one person has ever communicated with me directly about any other issue besides one over a handout requesting donation money,” though he did acknowledge during the meeting that New Gretna Volunteer Fire Company Chief Tom “Tommy” Wetmore had “communications about things on scene” with him. “Why didn’t you call me, set up a meeting with Tom Wetmore?” Buzby-Cope asked Zimmerman. “You knew we had been wanting to meet with you since February!” Zimmerman again replied that he was aware of only the donation letter concern, later described by

will work with you, but we are in business. We have to do this. We can grant discounts…we bill Medicare rates. The bottom line is we have to bill. Medicare guidelines say we have to bill. If we don’t bill, we get a fine. It is not little fines; it is big fines.” At the end of the July 1 EMS discussion, when asked by members of the public if a resolution on the matter had been reached, Buzby-Cope replied that the commissioners have 30 days to make the decision to go back with Squad 85 or stay with Quality. The mayor did not return a July 14 message seeking an update on whether any meeting between Zimmerman and the township had been held. On July 14, a man who answered at a cellphone number recently provided by the township for Capriglione said that the deputy mayor was unavailable because he had a bad cold and that he had since got a new cellphone number. “A lot of people in Bass River are senior citizens,” said resident Rick Adams. “They can’t afford a $350 bill. With 20 percent off, they still can’t afford it. What I am saying is we can’t afford to pay for an ambulance squad.” Others in the audience agreed with Adams, with one man telling the commissioners that Squad 85 has been responding to his neighbor’s home four times each month to transport a cancer patient for care, and that such frequency will now cause that person to pay $1,400 per month. “I believe had we been able to meet, we could have resolved this,” said Capriglione during the July 1 commission meeting. “But the unwillingness to meet and resolve some of the problems, which then reflects a lack of consideration and care to our residents, precipitated us to try and take some action to make sure you guys were safe.” Zimmerman, before leaving the July 1 meeting, acknowledged that “every minute is important when someone’s life is important.” “In the bigger picture, when we are talking about four minutes, there are many things we can do,” he said. “…We are here for the residents. Whatever is safer for the residents, is what you should all do. We are here to let you know, we are here for the residents, board of commissioners and mayor. If you would like to meet with us, we are willing to do it.”

Job Hunt Disorganization Won’t Result in Your Favor If you are disorganized during a job hunt, it is likely that it won’t result in your favor. Since you may find yourself applying for multiple positions, it is likely your resume will be fine-tuned to meet the keywords and requirements of a hiring manager. Forgetting which copy you sent where can lead to embarrassing mistakes or worse, a dishonest and unprofessional impression. Getting lost in the shuffle when discussing career opportunities can lead to missed interviews, blown deadlines and misplaced contact information. Stay on top of the organization during your job hunt by following these helpful tips.
in a neat package. When developing this data tracker, here are some important things to include in your list: • Company name and point of contact; • Email addresses and phone numbers of company; • Date applied and application summary; • Interview dates, follow-up actions and post-interview status. This will give you a clear perspective of which stage you are in for each position you have applied for and how you should move forward. Reduce the Number of Applications While a spreadsheet is effective to organize multiple job submissions, limiting the number of applications you send at once also is helpful.
Use a Spreadsheet To organize your job applications, using a spreadsheet can keep everything organized
When you only have a few to focus on, it is easier to follow up. For instance, it will be easier to manage sending thank-you emails to hiring managers following an interview. If possible, apply for a few batches that meet your criteria at once, rather than sending applications to every company on a hiring website. Nail the Interview Once you get an interview, being organized gives you the opportunity to learn more about the company. By keeping track of the hiring manager’s details, you can search online for their business persona to get an idea of their professional goals. Take advantage of interests you share in your own career path and call on that information in an interview.
