HAMILTON TOWNSHIP — The state has given additional support to help the township with its renovation project for the Lake Lenape Dam.
The Local Finance Board voted in May to waive a requirement that the township make a 5% down payment on its half of the funds to be borrowed, something that would have cost the township about $250,000.
Township Chief Financial Officer Cynthia Lindsay delivered a presentation about the dam to the board before its vote, according to a transcript of the meeting. She said it was important that the state waive the down payment requirements due to the urgent work needed on the dam and the somewhat dire straits faced by the township financially.
Lindsay said the dam was built circa 1840 and was classified by the state Department of Environmental Protection as a “high hazard dam.” Current conditions at the structure, Lindsay added, “fail to meet modern global stability requirements that are applicable to a high hazard class one dam.”

The “high-hazard” designation is a product of an evaluation from the state Office of Dam Safety, which has determined that if a dam breach were to occur there was a risk of widespread property damage along the Great Egg Harbor River. Damage could extend to several neighoring municipalities, including Egg Harbor Township, Estell Manor and Weymouth Township. The office has also concluded that there was “the potential for loss of life.” Township officials have stressed that the dam is within an acceptable safety factor, but the need for the improvements was urgent.
Lindsay also addressed the finances of the township at the state meeting. She said Hamilton was facing a tax rate increase of nearly 6 cents per $100 of assessed property value this year — a hike that would cost the average homeowner, who…

SALISBURY, MD—Dr. Noah Bressman, Salisbury University assistant professor of biological studies, is combating invasive species in local waterways, and Eastern Shore anglers can help.
Fishing hobbyists and professionals alike are invited to the second Nanticoke River Invasive Fishing Derby, presented by SU Sunday, July 23 (rain date: Saturday, July 29) at Cherry Beach Park in Sharptown, MD. Lines in at 5 a.m. and weigh-in begins at 1:30 p.m., followed by awards, data collection, invasive species educational lessons and a free catfish cookout with Shore Gourmet.
Thanks to support from the Salisbury University Foundation, Inc. and SU’s Graduate Studies and Research Office, the free derby features some $2,000 in prizes. A portion of all blue catfish and northern snakeheads caught will be provided to Bressman’s lab to continue research to learn more about their effects on the local ecosystem, with a focus on diet, growth speed and reproduction rates. Anglers may take home the remainder of their catches if desired.
“We really want to spread awareness in local waterway communities about what fish are invasive, and how they can minimize the population to relieve some pressure from striped bass and blue crabs, whose populations are on the decline,” said Bressman. “The event is family friendly for anglers of any age.”
Derby fishing is permitted at Cherry Beach Park for shore-based anglers. Those fishing from kayaks or boats may use any boat launch along the Nanticoke and tributaries such as Marshyhope Creek and Barren Creek. Maryland or Delaware tidal fishing licenses are required for most participants, respective to their fishing location. A section of Cherry Beach Park is designated as a license-free fishing zone for those without a license.
The event is hook and line only and does not include a bow fishing category. Limited fishing gear will be available for those…

New York Liberty’s Breanna Stewart, who scored a game-high 24 points, elevates for a basket over the Connecticut Sun’s DeWanna Bonner during Tuesday night’s 89-81 win at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.Sarah Gordon/Associated Press
UNCASVILLE, Conn. ― Breanna Stewart, returning to where she made her name as one of the most decorated women’s players at the University of Connecticut, scored a game-high 24 points on 11-for-17 shooting and grabbed 9 rebounds to lead the New York Liberty to an 89-81 WNBA victory over the host Connecticut Sun on Tuesday night at Mohegan Sun Arena.
Courtney Vandersloot added 17 points for the Liberty (10-3) while former Sun player Jonquel Jones added 14 points and 11 rebounds against her former team.
DiJonai Carrington came off the bench to lead the Sun (12-4) with a career-high 23 points on 8-for-11 shooting, hitting all three of her 3-point attempts. Alyssa Thomas (11 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists) recorded her fifth career double-double ― and third in seven days ― and capped a 13-0 run that rallied the Sun to an 81-80 lead when she converted a foul-inducing layup with 4:18 left.
The Sun, however, were unable to hold onto that slim margin after going scoreless in the final 3:55 of the game.
The victory moved the Liberty into a tie with Connecticut atop the Commissioner Cup standings in the Eastern Conference. Each team has one game left although New York has the tiebreaker having swept the two games against the Sun. Las Vegas has already wrapped up the Western Conference slot.
