The column that says Land Dimensions is playing it close to the vest.

Good afternoon!

Last day of warm weather forever.

“Jack,
“The person who could not hear the noise needs to get his or her hearing checked.
“I can hear the glass plant from my house and I live on East Commerce Street.
“Listen for the noise several nights in a row.
“Sometimes, it is bad and, sometimes, you can’t hear it.’’

How come we don’t hear these things?

Land Dimensions of Glassboro is coming to a special session of Bridgeton City Council on Tuesday, Jan. 28.
Larry DiPietro Co. will be laying out what Bridgeton can do with its city park to make it a destination.
This is not unlike what Salmon Ventures did for Hopewell Township.
DiPietro said it will be PowerPoint presentation on strategy to make Bridgeton City Park a destination.
It will include ideas from the entrance to the park at East Commerce Street to and including the Donald Rainear Amphitheater.
“We will touch on Sunset Lake,’’ he said.
DePietro will do the land plans, and an associate will do landscaping.
There is no 500-foot waterslide in the plans.
“And we’re not confining it to a specific cost figure,’’ he said.
It will include trails and how to marry the recreation area to the park, itself.
“Enhancements is the best term,’’ said DiPietro.
The Raceway will be included.
“Strategy to create a sense of place,’’ he said.

“Mike Abbott, it’s time to be part of the solution and not add to the problem.
“Since you have what appears to be all the time in the world to watch specific vendors, then why don’t you sign the complaint yourself and follow it through?
“Allow our police officers to fight crime, real crime and not your petty agendas.
“As a resident of this town, I’m amazed that we are now complaining about the noise from Ardagh (sic).
“A twenty four-seven operation that employs how many locals?
“Yes, sounds like a winner winner chicken dinner!
“Let’s chase them out of town, too.
“One more less ratable.
“It’s winter time. Sound travels much farther than summer when trees have full leaves, and, believe it or not, they do suppress noise.
“BEN column, where it’s not that bad when the obvious solutions are in your face.
“Time to stop passing the buck and stand up!
“It takes a village. Let’s see it!’’

Why the sic after Ardagh?
It’s not Ardagh Group?

“Good afternoon,
“My name is Katie and I am the public relations officer for FURever Friends.
“We work in conjunction with Pennsville Animal Rescue located at the Pennsville Township Pound.
“We are contacting you because we saw in the South Jersey Times that you write blurbs for organizations and print it in the BEN Column for upcoming events.
“We are having an event at the end of this month and we were wondering if you would be able to publish something for us.
“I have added in an image of our flier and a short description of our event below.’’

Katie, when it pertains to animals, you’ve come to the right place.
When it comes to unloved animals, we’re listening.
When it comes to animal cruelty, we’re on our way.

You mean we don’t have to play for handbags?
We can play for straight cash?
How long has this been going on?
It at least sounds like a free meal.
Count us in!
