What a fantastic start to fluke season. Flounder pounders were all over the flatties in the South Jersey back bays during the opening weekend. Several fluke hit the scales on opening day including a 2.93 pounder caught by 9-year-old Griffin Barber from Stone Harbor and a 3.51-pound specimen decked by Jack Morrissey from Merchantville. Morrissey’s fish was taken from Patty’s Hole behind Avalon and his crew had four keepers all between 19 and 21¼ inches, and all fish fell for minnows and squid. http://vineland.dj/18yhJSx

One of Raymond V. Ellis' favorite images across classic literature was the lamplighter, a figure often noted only by the glow brought to the darkness. Aspiring to become a lamplighter for his faith, he began taking classes in 1973 for the diaconate in the Catholic Diocese of Camden.

Soon you will hear it – the crack of a bat, a called third strike, and the sound of children laughing as they enjoy America’s Pastime on a beautiful spring day. Merchantville Little League (MLL) is gearing up for the 2013 Season. Fields are getting prepped, uniforms are being ordered, and teams are practicing indoors at Merchantville School – for now. The fun officially begins on Saturday, April 6th with the annual Opening Day festivities.

Crossing the river into New Jersey was also still a new notion, and so was leaving an urban life. Then two things occurred. The first: Close friends in the acting community discovered what they called a "hidden jewel": Merchantville, cheek by jowl with Cherry Hill but with a decidedly small-town vibe. The second: They unexpectedly found the house that seemed just about perfect for their new family configuration. http://bit.ly/VtTIbK
