• Authorities Warn Staffing Mandate Could Cripple Emergency Response (thesandpaper.net) — Proposed state EMS mandates could strain Ship Bottom’s volunteer-based emergency response by requiring two EMTs on every call and pushing towns toward costly paid systems. Local officials warn that traffic bottlenecks through Ship Bottom and limited EMT numbers could slow care for beach rescues and crashes, urging residents to support volunteer squads as the Trenton debate unfolds.
   

• Jason Alexander Gets Into the Spirit of LBI's Film Fest With a Masterclass (thesandpaper.net) — Jason Alexander is back on Long Beach Island this week, leading an intensive acting masterclass that feeds directly into the Lighthouse International Film Festival, with one student splitting time between Westfield and a home in Ship Bottom.
