One of the featured opportunities is the Summer Zoo Camp Counselor position, which focuses on helping lead the zoo’s popular summer camp program. Counselors will work closely with the zoo’s education team to create an engaging experience for campers through lessons, activities, and hands-on learning about wildlife.

Experience with animals or education programs is preferred. Applicants must be at least 18 years old and able to work outdoors in various weather conditions. Those pursuing or holding degrees in fields such as zoology, wildlife biology, conservation education, psychology, or early childhood education are especially encouraged to apply. All applicants must also pass a county background and drug screening before employment. The seasonal position runs June 1 through August 20, with counselors working 32 to 34 hours per week Monday through Thursday, typically between 8:00 or 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. The role pays $17 per hour, and weekends are off. Applications for all seasonal roles at the Cape May County Park and Zoo can be submitted through the county’s employment website.

Ocean City Moves Forward With Professional Planner for Wonderland Project Review

 Ocean City Council has hired a professional planner to assist with evaluating redevelopment options for the former Wonderland Pier site on the Boardwalk, a property that has sparked intense debate in the community. During a meeting Thursday night, council members voted 6–0 to approve a professional services contract with Jennifer L. Heller of Polistina & Associates LLC, a planning and engineering firm led by New Jersey State Senator Vincent Polistina. The contract allows Heller to provide planning services at $175 per hour, with a maximum cost of $15,000. City leaders emphasized that bringing in an independent planner will help ensure the council bases its decisions on detailed analysis and professional guidance as it considers redevelopment possibilities for the property at Sixth Street and the Boardwalk. Officials also confirmed that the planner’s report will be made publicly available once completed. City Council may eventually consider whether to classify the property as an area in need of rehabilitation, a designation that can help streamline redevelopment projects. Earlier this year, the city’s planning board voted 4–4 on the designation requested for the proposed hotel project, effectively preventing approval at that time. The hotel proposal has divided the community over the past year. Supporters say a resort hotel could boost tourism and generate economic activity along the Boardwalk. Opponents argue that a large hotel would clash with Ocean City’s traditional family-oriented character and place additional strain on nearby neighborhoods. City Council leaders also addressed speculation about possible tax incentives for redevelopment. Officials made clear that the city does not intend to offer a PILOT agreement, a financial arrangement that allows developers to make negotiated payments instead of paying traditional property taxes. Council leadership stated that any developer of the site will be expected to pay standard property taxes like other property owners in Ocean City.

Cape May Lawyer’s Case Headed for Dismissal After Pretrial Intervention Agreement

  A Cape May County attorney accused of witness tampering will have the charge dismissed after entering a diversion program that will clear his record if completed successfully. David Stefankiewicz agreed to participate in a 12-month pretrial intervention (PTI) program, a form of diversion that allows certain defendants to avoid a criminal conviction by meeting court-ordered requirements. Upon completion of the program, the charge will be dismissed. The witness-tampering allegation stemmed from a criminal case Stefankiewicz was handling for John Linnington, who had been charged with a violent assault against a pregnant woman in April 2022 in North Cape May. Linnington later pleaded guilty to the attack and is currently serving an eight-year prison sentence at Bayside State Prison. The investigation eventually led to allegations that Stefankiewicz had also been involved in efforts related to witness tampering. The case was reviewed by the Under the terms of the agreement, Stefankiewicz will avoid trial and any potential conviction as long as he successfully completes the diversion program over the next year. Once the program is finished, the charge will be dismissed and the matter will be closed.
