The National Guard

It was veterans day Friday and there were a string of events around the area to celebrate and remember servicemembers. This is a local image, but from a couple of weeks back: From right, U.S. Air Force Capt. Keith Giamberardino, Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC) with the 227th Air Support Operations Squadron (ASOS), and German armed forces JTAC 1st Lt. Marius Sokol discuss areas for improvement after close air support (CAS) training with New Jersey Air National Guard F-16 fighter jets from the 177th Fighter Wing at the Warren Grove Bombing Range in Ocean County, N.J. on Oct. 26, 2016.

As thousands of locals wet to the polls on Tuesday to vote in the general election as well as on local ballot questions, ranging from school vouchers in Atlantic City, leaving the county library system in Longport, having an elected schoolboard in Linwood and selling liquor licenses in Ventnor.

The sun peeks through the fall foliage in this photo taken earlier this week by Margie Raff (@marm2kids)
It was a big week in national and local news, with a general election and a state takeover of Atlantic City. While there was a lot of relief that the campaign period ended, we wrote about some of the interesting ballot questions and the results from referenda that include everything from changing the way of choosing a school board (Linwood) to introducing liquor licenses (Ventnor). The following day the state decided to take over Atlantic City and we wrote about the – still up-in-the-air – consequences of that decision. The weather, meanwhile, was mostly fantastic and there were some great photos taken of fall foliage and wintry sunsets. Maybe next week we’ll have some amazing shots of the super moon.
