Chuck:

On behalf of the Delaware River Waterfront Corporation, I would like to thank you for the support you and your wonderful crew provided me on May 24^th.

Delaware River Day is a family oriented educational opportunity to interact with the public and teach safety on the water, as well as educate the public to our resources. To have North Wind be a part of this new event at Penn\’s Landing was an immeasurable experience.

I look forward to working with you on many projects in the future. For pictures of the event, please checks CBS3.com, there are pictures under Delaware River Day.

Once again, thank you for helping make this a success! If North Wind ever needs a place to rest let me know!

Respectfully, Monica Santorp

When East Meets West

Commentary by Hank F. Miller Jr.

A seasonal rain front swept through Okinawa in late May, marking the beginning of Japan\’s rainy season.

Well today is the first day of rainy season in Kitakyushu City, our home town with very light rain forecast for today with very heavy down pours forecast for tomorrow.The rainy season in our region of the Japanese archipelago will continue till about the end of July. The meeting of a high cold atmospheric pressure front over the Sea of Okhotsk and a warm high atmospheric pressure front over the Pacific forms and the tsuyu or monsoons have arrived.

During tsuyu, rain falls on and off for a couple of weeks, or sometimes it continues to rain for days on end. The grey skies, together with a very high humidity of the season, mean that this is a very gloomy period for most people.

It does not, however, necessarily follow that to have rainy season is all bad, because at this time of year, farmers, with all the rain it brings, plant rice, and the rice paddies need a good deal of water. Tsuyu or monsoon season is a natural blessing to them. And also to the gardeners like myself, because in the Miller garden we have many trees, bushes and shrubs as well as flowers and thery all need plenty of water.

But the weeds are overwhelming and thus must be attended to sometimes even during sudden downpours. Along with the rainy season from this month arrives typhoon season which will start next week and will last until the middle of October. So besides spring, summer, autumn and winter so we also have the two seasons in which I do not look forward to each year monsoon season and typhoon season.

Warm Regards from muggy, humid and most uncomfortable Kitakyushu City, Japan

Contrary to a widely circulating gag, Disney is NOT eyeing Bellmawr, N.J., for a new historical theme park called Disney\’s America. Not truth to it, said two Bellmawr Borough Hall staffers. The rumor, though, did prompt a TV camera crew to trek to the Camden County burg to investigate, and lead to a note on Wikipedia\’s entry for \”Disney\’s America\” that \”this was only a rumor.\” Apparently, as an April Fool\’s joke, someone rewrote a 1993 press release about a proposed Virginia project.

A planned commuter rail line from Camden to Glassboro won\’t qualify for federal transit funds, leaving state taxpayers with the full $1.3 billion bill. But Delaware River Port Authority officials said Wednesday the project is South Jersey\’s top transportation priority and the state is committed to seeing the line is built.

The plan calls for diesel light-rail trains to run 18 miles alongside an existing Conrail freight line to serve Glassboro, Pitman, Mantua, Wenonah, Woodbury, Deptford, West Deptford, Westville, Bellmawr, Brooklawn, Gloucester City and Camden.

(Gloucester City News 6/4)In response to the December 16 Police Report which ran in the January 1 edition of the Gloucester City News, I was falsely accused throwing mud, debris and dog feces on the sidewalk where the Forestry Department had been planting a tree.

No one advised me to \”Clean up the mess,\” because there was nothing to clean up.

The story is as follows: My 93-year-old mother called me to come over as \”people\” were
