Unlocking $2.1 Trillion in Energy Potential
One company has developed a technology that extracts valuable resources from coal without burning it. From jet fuel to diesel and more, Frontieras North America has the potential to address $2.1 trillion in annual markets*.
It’s similar to when John D. Rockefeller commercialized oil refining technology. If Frontieras captures just 2% of the global coal market, they would position themselves as the global leader in the space.
They just broke ground for their $850 million flagship facility and reserved the ‘FASF’ NASDAQ ticker. Don’t miss your chance to join the next phase of growth: invest in Frontieras before the opportunity ends on August 27.
Frontieras is offering securities through the use of an Offering Statement that has been qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Tier II of Regulation A. A copy of the Final Offering Circular that forms a part of the Offering Statement may be obtained from: invest.frontieras.com. Reservation of the ticker symbol is not a guarantee that we will be listed on the NASDAQ. Listing on the NASDAQ is subject to approvals. Sources* The global market for our products is worth a combined value of over $2.1 trillion.

Big Little Nine to Host October Fundraiser for Beacon Animal Rescue

Beacon Animal Rescue will hit the links this fall for its third annual golf fundraiser at Big Little Nine in Cape May Court House.
The event is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 10, 2026, from noon to 3 p.m. at the nine-hole golf course, located at 600 Bayberry Drive. Golfers will play nine holes using standard tee times while helping raise money for Beacon Animal Rescue and its work caring for animals in the community.

Event information provided by organizers lists green fees at $40 per golfer, with $20 from each fee benefiting Beacon Animal Rescue. Some secondary event listings show a different admission price of $35, so golfers should confirm the current fee when registering.
Advance registration is requested by noon Friday, Oct. 9, to guarantee a tee time. Walk-up golfers will also be welcome on Saturday as the schedule permits.
Big Little Nine is a par-3 course designed to offer a relaxed and accessible golf experience, making the fundraiser suitable for golfers looking to enjoy an afternoon on the course while supporting a local animal rescue organization.
Registration is available through the event's online booking page. Additional event information can be found on the Big Little Nine website.
Wetlands Institute to Close Stone Harbor Campus for Major Flood-Resilience Project

The Wetlands Institute in Stone Harbor will temporarily close its longtime headquarters after Labor Day as it begins a major campus renovation and ecosystem restoration project designed to address worsening tidal flooding and rising sea levels. The institute, which has operated from its Stone Harbor site for about 55 years, plans to close the building on Sept. 7, 2026, as work begins on its broader “Reimagine the Wetlands” initiative.
Executive Director Dr. Lenore Tedesco said flooding has increased dramatically around the property over the past two decades, affecting both the institute’s facilities and the surrounding salt marsh ecosystem. The institute’s Salt Marsh Trail flooded only about twice a year in 2000. Today, it is inundated nearly 70 times annually, according to the institute.
The institute’s existing legacy building will ultimately be replaced as part of the project. The aging structure cannot be sufficiently elevated or renovated to meet current flood-resilience needs, prompting plans for a new facility.
While construction is underway, Wetlands Institute staff and programs will temporarily relocate to the nearby New Jersey Coastal Conservation Center, where the organization will share space with New Jersey Fish and Wildlife.
The temporary move will allow the institute to continue portions of its research, conservation and education mission while major work proceeds at the Stone Harbor property.
The Wetlands Institute is a significant regional environmental education center, hosting approximately 14,000 schoolchildren each year in addition to other visitors, researchers and conservation programs.
The project comes as coastal communities throughout South Jersey continue to confront the effects of sea-level rise, nuisance flooding and increasingly frequent high-tide events. At the Wetlands Institute, those changes have become especially visible along the Salt Marsh Trail and other low-lying parts of the campus.
Additional information about visiting before the closure, future programming and the “Reimagine the Wetlands” project is available at wetlandsinstitute.org.
Lantern-Lit Ghost Tours Bring Haunted History Back to Cape May

Historic Cold Spring Village is bringing back its popular Ghost Walks for the late summer and fall season, giving visitors a chance to explore the Cape May-area museum grounds after dark while hearing stories of unexplained activity reported over the years.
The lantern-lit tours begin Friday, Aug. 28, 2026, and are scheduled for 8 p.m. Fridays through October, with no walks planned for Oct. 16 or Oct. 23 because of Ghoul Spring Village programming.
Spiritualist medium Bob Bitting will lead guests through Historic Cold Spring Village, sharing accounts of mysterious incidents reported by staff members as well as findings connected to paranormal investigation teams that have visited the property. The evening experience is designed as both a historical and paranormal tour, with visitors walking through the village by lantern light and learning about unusual events associated with the historic buildings and grounds.
Photography is encouraged throughout the tour, and organizers recommend that guests wear comfortable shoes because the route includes clamshell paths. Bug spray is also suggested.
Tours will be held rain or shine, so guests should bring an umbrella when the forecast is uncertain. The Ghost Walk begins near Cold Spring Brewery at Historic Cold Spring Village, located at 735 Seashore Road in Cape May.
Advance ticket purchases are required, and space may be limited.
Historic Cold Spring Village is an open-air living history museum that preserves and interprets South Jersey life through historic buildings, demonstrations, programs and special events.
For tickets and additional information, visit Historic Cold Spring Village’s website or call 609-898-2300.
