*Take a ride through the woods in Southampton and you'll see what all the fuss is about this week. Poor Cliff Smith even had a few of the dreaded gypsy moths clinging to his clothes when he visited our office recently to show us the devastation on his property. Southampton officials did not return phone calls from our reporter this week or last week, as we attempted to get official word as to why the township opted not to treat for gypsy moths as other local towns have done. We continue to get calls from very agitated residents - I hope officials are at least responding to the taxpayers of the town, even if they don't call us back.
* By the look of our 'Letters to the Editor' page this week, people are extremely concerned about the Special Review Committee established in Evesham to discuss the appropriateness of the "That's a Family" program - the includes a depiction of gay parents - for third grade students. I've heard - often - from people on both sides of the controversial issue. Let's hope everyone stays open minded and courteous during this debate.
* If you have time on Saturday morning (June 9), grab a canoe (or use one of the borrowed ones from Camp Dark Waters) and join Bernie Mayer and his group of volunteers who will be clearing out debris from the waterway on the Rancocas Creek starting at Camp Dark Waters near Kirby's Mill.
* Let us know how you feel about things in your neighborhood or town. Write a letter to the editor to express an opinion or contact me at (609) 654-5000 Ext. 18 or at news@medfordcentralrecord.com.
