To the Editor: I respectfully oppose the proposed waterfront development at 550 Leeward Ave. in Beach Haven, including the installation of a dock, two boat lifts and a 25-foot breakwater extending into Liberty Thorofare. Liberty Thorofare is already a narrow, shallow and heavily traveled waterway. In this area, vessels often have only a few feet of navigable water, and even minor deviations from the channel can result in groundings.

To the Editor: I walk almost every day and am noticing a further decline in the behavior of some dog owners. Don’t get me wrong, I love dogs. We have inherited dogs from our kids, we have paid for the vet bills for other people’s dogs, and we often puppy sit for friends. When the dog stops to poop, the owner makes a big show of scooping it up in a bag. Then they drop it in someone else’s garbage can (very often mine) on their way home.

Dear epidermis, We need to have a wee chat, or maybe a parade of mea culpas would be more appropriate. I’m so sorry that I used baby oil. I’m embarrassed to admit that one time, Debbie and I resorted to olive oil when our baby oil was hijacked by the needs of an actual baby sister. My skin was so smooth and optimistic, way back when. Then, the fun began. The pregnancies (stretched skin), the laughter (marionette lines), the endless west wind that chapped and damaged my face.
