The ocean is beautiful — and dangerous

The ocean is beautiful — and dangerous

by Cindy Fertsch | Jun 4, 2026 | Letters from the editor, Atlantic County, Cape May County, Editorial, South Jersey

Letter from the editor The ocean has always been my refuge — a place of joy, peace, adventure and some of my most treasured memories. Whether it’s an early morning walk along the shoreline, the sound of waves breaking on the beach or a day spent with family in...

by Michael | May 7, 2026 | Letters from the editor, Atlantic County, Cape May County, Editorial, South Jersey

Sensory-friendly care marks progress in autism support

Sensory-friendly care marks progress in autism support

by Cindy Fertsch | Apr 30, 2026 | Letters from the editor, Atlantic County, Cape May County, Editorial, South Jersey

From the editor As April draws to an end and we move forward into May, our focus turns to Mother’s Day. But I find myself still thinking about April — Autism Awareness Month. This week, I attended the PR Council of Greater Atlantic City luncheon, which focused on...
