The Thorntons @ Wildwood High & Middle Winter Concert

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Please help the Lunch With Lynch Foundation take the “Grinch out of Christmas.” On Christmas Eve, Friday, December 24th we will deliver our donated gifts to the homes of children in our community who may need a little assistance this Holiday Season. We are targeting families with elementary age school children from the “Entire Island.” Your support in this effort will be greatly appreciated.

Every child deserves to look forward to waking up on Christmas Day with a present from Santa!

Purchasing A Gift for a child between the ages of 3 to 11 You cannot imagine how much joy a simple $10 to $20 gift can bring. And if you really want to make a child’s holiday – try adding a warm hat and mittens. It’s a gift that will have a long lasting effect throughout our cold winters.

Help Put Meal on the Table We’re looking for $25.00 Gift Cards to Acme, Super Fresh, Shoprite and Walmart. Many of our working poor families have limited cooking facilities. Your gift can be the difference in providing a HOT MEAL to a local family that best suits their needs on Christmas Day.

Cash Donations We will do the shopping for you.

Checks can be written to the Lunch With Lynch Foundation and mailed to P.O. Box 1322 * Wildwood, NJ 08260

Your Donation can be dropped off at the following locations: North Wildwood Shirt Shop, Winterwood Christmas Shoppe in Rio Grande or the Cape May Mall, Wildwoods Convention Center, Crest Tavern or we will pick them up by calling John Lynch at 609-849-8887

The Grinch Committee John Lynch, Wildwood Convention Center – Vicki Lynch, Montego Bay & Splash Zone James Grauel – Wildwood Fire Department – Spencer Smith, Wildwood Police Department WildwoodMag.com

A blonde had just totaled her car in a horrific accident.

Miraculously, she managed to pry herself from the wreckage without a scratch and was applying fresh lipstick when the state trooper arrived.

“My God!” the trooper gasped. “Your car looks like an accordion that was stomped on by an elephant.

Are you OK ma’am?”

“Yes, officer, I’m just fine” the blonde chirped.

“Well, how in the world did this happen?” the officer asked as he surveyed the wrecked car.

“Officer, it was the strangest thing!” the blonde began.

I was driving along this road when from out of nowhere this TREE pops up in front of me.

So I swerved to the right, and there was another tree!

I swerved to the left and there was ANOTHER tree!

I served to the right and there was another tree!

I swerved to the left and there was �.”

“Uh, ma’am”, the officer said, cutting her off, “There isn’t a tree on this road for 30 miles.

That was your air freshener swinging back and forth.”

Wildwood Crest announces new trash collection schedule beginning in 2011 WILDWOOD CREST – The Borough of Wildwood Crest will begin a new trash collection schedule in 2011 that projects to be both more efficient and less costly.

The borough will change its trash and recycling collection schedule to once per week for its off-peak winter schedule, which is considered to be October through May. Trash will continue to be collected twice per week and recyclable products once per week during the summer, from June through September.

The new trash collection schedule goes into effect Monday, Jan. 3, 2011.

This change in the trash and recycling collection schedule is designed to enable the borough’s Public Works Department to effectively and efficiently manage its personnel and daily workload while also reducing fuel, vehicle maintenance and labor costs.

Other rules and regulations regarding trash collection will not change.

During the winter collection schedule, trash and recyclable products will be collected on the same day each week.

Winter trash and recycling collection schedule (October through May) is as follows: -- South side of Cresse Avenue to Cardinal Road: Monday.

-- South of Cardinal Road to Lotus Road: Tuesday.

-- South of Lotus Road to Atlanta Avenue: Wednesday.

-- South of Atlanta Avenue to Preston Avenue: Thursday.

-- South of Preston Avenue to Jefferson Avenue: Friday.

Summer trash and recycling collection schedule (June through September) is as follows: -- South side of Cresse Avenue to Cardinal Road: Trash and recycling on Monday, trash on Thursday.

-- South of Cardinal Road to Lotus Road: Trash and recycling on Tuesday, trash only on Friday.

-- South of Lotus Road to Atlanta Avenue: Trash and recycling on Wednesday, trash only on Sunday.

-- South of Atlanta Avenue to Preston Avenue: Trash and recycling on Thursday, trash only on Monday.

-- South of Preston Avenue to Jefferson Avenue: Trash and recycling on Friday, trash only on Tuesday.

-- Motel District (East of Atlantic Avenue from Cresse to Jefferson avenues): Trash on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, recycling on Tuesday and Friday.

For further information or any questions regarding the new trash and recycling schedule, contact the Wildwood Crest Public Works Department at (609) 522-7446.

Information Eveready Batteries

The man that invented the Eveready battery gave away the company so that he could play with his model trains. As foolish as this may sound, it was the best decision that he ever made.

This foolish man was Joshua L. Cowen. That’s him in the 1960 photograph on the right.

Cowen was your typical turn of the century inventor. Lots of ideas - some that worked, some that didn’t.

His first major invention was intended to revolutionize photography. He designed a fuse to ignite magnesium powered flashes, but the invention was a dud.

His best customer for his fuses was the U. S. Navy. They didn’t want to take pictures with his fuses, however. They bought 24,000 of them in 1898 to detonate underwater mines.

His next creation was the development of little metal tubes that were designed to illuminate flowers in their pots.

These illuminated flower pots were difficult to perfect (if he could have gotten them to dance to music, he would have earned a fortune). Cowen became bored with his flower pot lights and in 1898 gave the project away to one of his salesmen - some guy named Conrad Hubert. Hubert could care less about the lighted flower pots. Instead, he liked the device Cowen developed to operate them - a lightbulb and dry cell battery combination that had a 30 day life.

Hubert took Cowen’s battery operated device and developed it into the flashlight. The company that Cowen gave away was named the American Eveready Company, and it earned Hubert nearly six million dollars in two decades (a large sum of money for the turn of the century). When Hubert died, he left behind a $15,000,000 estate, virtually all earned from Cowen’s invention.

One would think that Cowen would feel like a real loser for giving an idea like Eveready batteries away for nothing, but he actually came up with a better idea that earned him even more money.

What I failed to mention was that the “L” in Joshua L. Cowen’s name stood for Lionel - as in Lionel trains.

When Cowen gave away his flower pot light company, he turned his attention to these small electrical devices.

The first Lionel train that he produced was a flatbed car that ran on batteries.

He sold them as eye catching displays for shop windows. However, people quickly wanted them for their homes, particularly for under the Christmas tree.

By 1906, he had introduced the transformer and famous three rail track. In 1907, he introduced the first locomotive.

The Girl Around Town

By Natalie Cooper

On my first morning back in the Wildwoods, I opened my eyes when I heard the tapping of little pieces of ice ricocheting off the outside of the windows. I got out of bed and went to the window to find the front yard and the street covered in a blanket of fresh white, falling snow. With this, I knew I was back in New Jersey.

I went downstairs to the front door and sat and watched the snow continue to fall, as my brother scraped the ice off the cars, while the dog roamed around the driveway, leaving her paw printed trail behind her in the untouched areas. It was the first time I saw snow this year, and I was excited.

Snow always puts me in the Christmas spirit, reminding me of when I was a kid, when I’d spend a half hour bundling into my snowsuit to go out and play with the rest of the kids in the neighborhood, making igloos and snowmen for hours, while my parents would have to force me to stop playing and come into the house when meal time rolled around.

When the snow stopped falling and the streets were plowed, I decided to drive the three blocks from my house to the beach to see what it looked like—true, I’ve seen the beach covered in snow before, but there’s still something cool about it. Or maybe, I just missed the beach.

It was particularly cold this morning, with the sun tucked away behind the gray clouds and the wind stinging my face as I got out of the car.

But I didn’t mind. I pulled my jacket tighter and trekked out to make it over the dunes.

When I reached the top of the dunes and looked out onto the landscape before me, I was disappointed to find the beach not covered in snow. Maybe I was too early? Maybe I didn’t give the snow a solid chance to land? Either way, I saw little patches of flurries scattered across the sand, and that was good enough for me. Even better yet, I saw people out in the chilly weather walking by the ocean, while their dogs ran around playing ahead of them, chasing the paths of the waves breaking along the shore. The ocean was gray, and the waves subtle—almost nonexistent—almost frozen as they folded and crashed.

I was thankful to feel the heat in my house kicking when I walked in the front door and started unbundling. My brother asked me where I had gone, and I told him the beach.

“I couldn’t help it,” I said. “I love the snow. It isn’t Christmas without snow. Don’t you just love the holidays when it snows?”

“Hate to break it to ya, Nat,” he said, “but I don’t think it normally snows on Christmas Day. It’ll probably be melted by then. I can probably count on one hand how many times it actually snowed on Christmas Day.” Indeed, he was right. I knew the snow would probably be gone by Christmas, but it didn’t hurt to dream, right? With that, I began grabbing my boots and gloves and scarf in my arms to take them into the other room, when I stopped in my tracks when I heard the weatherman talking on the TV. “It’s a pretty safe assumption to say that the snow probably won’t last, but you can expect to see a lot more of it in the cold days to come, maybe even including Christmas Day.” I found this ironic and hysterical considering the quick conversation I had just had with my brother. And with the closing of the weather report, I got to leave the room with a smirking grin and the satisfaction that I just may be right. Maybe it just might snow on Christmas.
