There have been several deer sightings in Merchantville posted on social media during the past few days - Rosemarie Mocrytzki, captured a picture of one in her driveway off Lexington Avenue, and another was photographed crossing St. James and Somerset Avenues by Tim Mentzler. Last October, Marilyn Johnson spotted four deer grazing on Hampton Road across from the Merchantville Country Club, and a month later in her own back yard! NJ says that the deer population has become a public safety problem leading to thousands of car crashes, a public health problem with increasing cases of Lyme disease, and millions of dollars a year in losses for agriculture. Just a head's up to check for ticks and be careful when driving in and around the 'ville.

A mama turkey and her 15 poults (chicks) were spotted in a backyard on Walnut and another mom and her babies on Frankin Avenue yesterday. Wild turkeys have staged a comeback in NJ since they were wiped out in the 1800's. Due to their adaptable nature and prolific breeding ability, they have thrived in NJ since the 1980's. They love sizable oak forests - and we have plenty - or patches of forest interspersed with suburbs. Males, or toms, are polygamous and often mate with several hens during the breeding season who can lay up to 17 eggs and may have multiple broods.

Recently, seniors from Saint Peter Parish in Merchantville filled a bus for a trip to Ventnor to “Follow the Way of Saint James on the Road to Life,”. The event was sponsored by Vitality Catholic Healthcare Services, as a way to celebrate and support the health and well-being of parents and grandparents. Starting at Saint James Church for morning prayer, the group of 100 proceeded to the boardwalk and walked 1.5 miles to Margate’s Blessed Sacrament Church, praying together along the way. Dating back to medieval times, The Camino de Santiago (Way of Saint James) is a network of pilgrims’ paths that end at the shrine of Saint James in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain, where it is said that the saint is buried.
