by Cindy Fertsch | Jun 6, 2024 | Atlantic County, Cape May County, Editorial, Six Words on a Boardwalk Bench, South Jersey

By Bill Quain You may be wondering about the title of my column this week. Some of my younger readers may think, “Of course your flounder sleeps with the fishes. It’s a fish!” However, many of you will remember the epic movie “The Godfather.” Two New York Mafia...

Everyone’s special at the Special Olympics

by Cindy Fertsch | May 2, 2024 | Cape May County, Features, Ocean City, Six Words on a Boardwalk Bench, South Jersey

By Bill Quain I’m writing this column on Sunday, April 28. I had a great experience this morning that I would like to share with my readers. I met some volunteers who were setting up for a Special Olympics meet, which was being held at the Ocean City High School...
