To the Editor:
The crown jewel of LBI is its beaches. They are the lifeline of our economy and the reason forour being. Their safety has been entrusted to young men and women whose efforts, dedication and service to the community are devalued by those to whom they must answer. Many have second jobs that allow them to be your lifeguards, but this does not discourage the youth who aspire to work the beaches and the parents who pay for their LIT training.
Each year the Long Beach Township guards compete in the Mayor’s Cup competition.
