Barnegat Light First Aid Squad
Did you know that Barnegat Light First Aid Squad (BLFAS) provides 9-1-1 emergency
medical services to North Beach, Harvey Cedars, Loveladies, High Bar Harbor and
Barnegat Light 24 hours a day, 365 days per year at no cost to the patient? They respond
to approximately 500 calls per year. 100 of which were specific to High Bar Harbor residents.
Each year they hold a fundraising drive to raise funds from our communities to support this
vital life-saving mission. This enables them to purchase, operate, and maintain the best
equipment available.
The volunteers of BLFAS are our neighbors. Please look for the fund drive flier to arrive in
your mailbox in late June. Show your support by sending a tax-deductible donation to
BLFAS electronically via Venmo or PayPal at blfas.squarespace.com .
Also don’t forget to check with your human resources department to see if your company has
a matching gifts program.
Besides your financial support, consider becoming a volunteer driver or EMT; it is a very
satisfying experience.
SaveLBI Update, March 2024.
Dear Supporter,
You may have heard that the federal agency plans to proceed with the Atlantic Shores North wind project. That would place an additional one-hundred and fifty-seven, one thousand-foot tall turbines up the entire shoreline of LBI to Barnegat light, as close as 8.4 miles, making it the closest of all the new large turbine wind projects in the world.
To add insult to injury, as shown in the map below, they will be taking all or some of the power from the Atlantic Shores North Project (and/or the Atlantic Shores South project) up the New Jersey coast to New York. This is truly inequitable because LBI and New Jersey would bear the adverse property value, rental, tourism, and other impacts of the turbine projects, while New York would get the benefit of the power.
We just filed a Notice of Intent to sue the federal agency under the Endangered Species Act, and plan to file additional litigation on the Atlantic Shores South project when it is approved in a few months. Engaging in the environmental review process and pursuing comparable litigation on the Atlantic Shores North project will require new substantial monetary support as it will have a distinct environmental impact statement (EIS) and other permit approvals. So although the filing of complaints on that project may be nine months away when that final EIS is done, we need to begin now to build up a war chest for that project.
So for anyone who thought you could escape this madness by remaining uninvolved, that is unfortunately not the case. I would suggest to those concerned with the Atlantic Shores North project that now is the time to step up .
Contributions can be made by sending a check made out to Save Long Beach Island, Inc. to: Save LBI, PO Box 579, Ship Bottom, NJ 08008, or through various electronic means on our website www.savelbi.org.
Thank you
