Hi, I hope it's okay to send this here. My name is Beth, I'm a new first year medical student at UMDNJ in Stratford, starting this year. I'm looking for...

Eight days after she went missing from the dog boarding home in Cherry Hill, we found her near the Cherry Hill Township Park Friday night July 2nd! She had a 3...
Does anyone know what the problem was with the fireworks? Because many were shot low and over Bancroft, they were not visible to those of us sitting on the...
Not noticeable from my vantage point (bleachers) that the display was too low, but I must say this year was the best fireworks I can remember. Next thing...
Thanks for the good news. It seemed everyone had an eye out for that missing dog. I even got an automated phone call about it, which I thought was a great...
Here is a video clip of a portion of the grand finale of the Beach Haven fireworks over the bay. They do a nice job and have the safety of launching from a...
Underage drinking is still alive and well in the borough. The "parent problem" of indifference and even facilitation is also thriving. Please look in the...
Interesting that the teens were heard talking about the 24x7 law when the police arrived. Sounds as if that is not stopping the partying in town. Sure the...

Yes Haddonhumble, in the Retrospect article, they are naming names now of the hosts, a relative, as well as one of the underage guests who was caught. Yes,...
Bill, I disagree. This is personal to them. They hosted an underage drinking party on more than one occasion. Their behavior is no better than the dog owner...
Jeff, I genuinely do appreciate your candor and viewpoint here, but let me make sure that I am not misunderstood. Perhaps my post was unintentionally ...
Hi,Let's ALL remember to be great hosts to the guests involved.They have come from far and wide and might need a bit of positve pep towards the end of the...
Hi Sharon, as a parent of a son that just graduated HMHS, I can say that I think the policy helps. It is a message coming from somewhere other than home that...
Thanks you for your thoughtful reply. I would guess most of us have had incidents that are alcohol related that are too close to home including alcoholic...
Sorry for the slow response Sharon and thanks for your comments Jeannie. I would suggest that the 24/7 policy is most definitely on the minds of many of the...
You are saying this is a deterrent. On what do you base this conclusion? Every week it seems underage kids are being picked up for drinking/smoking. I have...
Yup. I sure do think that. In the instances the police have been monitoring, like just last month, when the kids became aware that the police were there, they...
I don't know Matt Wolf at all, but we've got an adversary system in the US. Would it be ethical for an attorney NOT to make the most vigorous case possible for...
If the 24x7 were a deterrent the teens would NOT have been at a drinking party in the first place. It obviously did not deter their behavior. Of course they...
I disagree. As I said, a deterrent does not solve a problem, it merely helps. Posting 25 MPH speed limits is not a solution in and of itself, but a deterrent. ...
Hi Dan, I knew that one was coming and I agree with you to a large extent. However, do you really want to be the known as the go-to guy to get folks off for...
Unfortunately there is no way to definitively measure what effect the 24x7 policy has had on the underage drinking in town. I think the information they show...

I agree it is a problem. It is a problem that has been around for quite awhile. Unfortunately none of these measures seems to be making an impact. My...
