The Barnegat First Aid Squad has done an outstanding job helping us when we are in need no matter what time of day or night. These are volunteers...they're our friends, our neighbors, they are Barnegat. They should be given the benefit of the doubt regarding anything you read in the newspaper, and they have earned our trust. The Hartman-led Committee has a track record of not dealing honestly with volunteers in our town...as proven by the untruthful statements they have made regarding Heritage Day. It is time for us to all stand together as one. If we have to choose WHO to believe, it would certainly be our volunteers. They have no agenda, they just want to continue to help our community. We should appreciate the First Aid Squad volunteers and support them any way we can.

Sell the Cox House, rip out our only Downtown playground, take away our Youth Center, let our infrastructure fall to pieces, kill Heritage Day, take away our neighborhood voting location, let the Edwards School deteriorate, and attack our EMS volunteers. Unless all of us have the courage to support each other, our community will continue to decline one piece at a time. And we will all be divided and personally attacked in the process.
