1. The Township Committee has approved a new handicapped parking stall in front of 97 Abbott Avenue and is removing one in front of 148 Abbott. The same ordinance also creates a loading zone on Ocean Avenue adjacent to the boardwalk pavilion.
2. Committeewoman Mary Beth Jahn has been recovering from encephalitis at Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia. She writes to say that she “spent several weeks in critical care on a ventilator, which has temporarily paralyzed my vocal cords (stop cheering, folks!),” but that she has saved her backlog of email, text messages and snail mail and is now responding.
3. New Jersey American Water customers are no longer restricted to watering their lawns on certain days of the week. The company announced on Wednesday that the odd/even outdoor watering scheme in effect since early July is ended. (Bet you’d forgotten all about it anyway. We had.)
Get well MBJ.
We wish Ms. Jahn well.
