North Wildwood Agrees to $1.7M Settlement, Will Remove Lou Booth Amphitheater

 North Wildwood will remove the Lou Booth Amphitheater as part of a settlement with the NJDEP to resolve fines and legal disputes over unauthorized coastal protection projects. The agreement includes a $1.7 million payment and other commitments, such as reconfiguring an unapproved bulkhead and planting vegetation for dune stabilization. The amphitheater, a community landmark since the 1970s, will be replaced with a vegetated dune system to improve shoreline protection. 

Ocean City Residents Rally to Preserve Wonderland Pier History

 Ocean City’s Wonderland Pier faces an uncertain future under its new owner, Eustace Mita of ICONA Resorts. Plans for a hotel have sparked fears of losing the Ferris Wheel and Carousel, symbols of the pier’s history. While Mita has promised to keep the rides, a leaked price sheet listing them for sale has raised doubts. Residents are mobilizing to preserve these attractions, with rezoning efforts for the hotel likely to face opposition. For many, the fight is about more than saving a Ferris Wheel or Carousel. It represents a broader battle to preserve the heart of a community and ensure that Wonderland Pier’s history and joy endure for future generations.

Fatal Red-Light Crash in Ocean City Leads to Prison Sentence

 Ruddy Narvaez, 36, of Galloway, has been sentenced to three years in prison for causing a 2021 crash in Ocean City that killed 66-year-old John D. Andrews. Narvaez ran a red light while speeding, leading to the fatal collision. Cape May County prosecutors hope the case serves as a warning against reckless driving.
