Pinelands

Pinelands Regional senior quarterback Ryan Allen has been voted as the Week 8 Shore Conference Football Player of the Week.

Class B South has been the division of dynasties and Lacey is hoping last year's title is the first in a long run.

We've had several fires in the last week right here in Ocean County.

Lakes in the Highlands and Pinelands would get priority. One skeptic says it's "a drop in the bucket" and that future aid should be tied to local action.
