Avalon and Stone Harbor NJ Weekly Update February 1st, 2018 #RealEstate

SIDE SCAN SONAR will be used to investigate damage to the Eighth Street jetty in Avalon, according to a recent Cape May County Herald article.  The technology is often used by fishermen to locate underwater schools of fish; in this case it will allow engineers to study underwater portions of the jetty damaged last year by Winter Storm Jonas.

Winter sunsets result in all sorts of colors!  This view is from Ocean Drive south of Stone Harbor, looking toward North Wildwood.  The light from the Hereford Inlet Lighthouse can be seen on the far left.

STONE HARBOR FIRE DEPARTMENT responded to a fire in Stone Harbor Manor shortly after 11am Tuesday, and found the rear of a home fully involved upon arrival.  Stone Harbor and Cape May Court House firefighters extinguished the blaze with help from tankers from Goshen and Green Creek.  Black smoke was visible for miles around the area.

THE AVALON POLICE DEPARTMENT appointed Jeff Christopher to Chief of Police during a ceremony last week.  Chief Christopher has been with the department since 2000, and replaced outgoing 31-year veteran William McCormick.  John Roscoe, who joined the department in 1992, was named Captain.  Also promoted were Matthew Sykes and William Robinson III, who were both promoted to Sergeant, while James Savini and Christopher Nazha both joined the department as full time officers.

95 YEARS IN BUSINESS!  Congratulations to Sturdy Savings Bank on 95 years of service to Cape May County!  Sturdy has branches in Avalon and Stone Harbor, as well as 11 other locations around Cape May County.  Even those who don’t bank there may be familiar with Sturdy’s “Banking with a Personal Touch” slogan, often heard on local television commercials.

FLY, EAGLES FLY!  As the Birds make their third appearance in the Super Bowl, the entire region is rooting for them!  Will this rematch with the Patriots result in a different outcome?  GO EAGLES!
