22+ hour, 55+ min ago (520+ words) North Wildwood will provide police protection to neighboring West Wildwood under a 10-year shared services agreement worth more than $6 million. The deal, approved last week, formalizes an arrangement that began over the summer after a report flagged staffing and management problems in West Wildwood's police department. North Wildwood officers had already been serving West Wildwood on a temporary basis, but the new contract ensures long-term policing support. West Wildwood, a sparsely populated town on Five Mile Beach, considered dissolving its police department after the New Jersey Association of Chiefs of Police recommended the move. However, that proposal sparked pushback from the public.

But they pulled it off when the first Light Up Orange for the Holidays event was held Wednesday (Dec. 10) at Village Hall. The original plan was to start the event with performances by local musical groups at the Kathy Urdang Mulcahy Pavilion in the Community Park behind Village Hall. It would then culminate with a tree-lighting ceremony in the gazebo just outside Village Hall. But a steady rain in the afternoon eventually turned to snow, which became heavy at times in the early evening, so the majority of the event was moved indoors, mostly in council chambers. More than 50 people braved the elements to attend. Christi Paul, a news anchor at WKYC-TV (Channel 3), did her best to go with the flow as she served as master of ceremonies. "We're…...
