The Pemberton Rotary Club gave a donation of $19,967 to the Pemberton Township Board of Education to purchase “four fully-equipped workstations in the Pemberton Township High School automotive shop” in honor of former board member Raymond R. Wells, a lifelong Pemberton resident who died last year.

Rotarian Perry Doyle Sr. presented the donation on behalf of the Rotary Club at the Aug. 27 board of education meeting, accompanied by Wells’ daughter, Karen Pringle, and granddaughter, Shannon O’Brien.

“I have the pleasure to offer a donation to the Pemberton Township High School Board of Education in honor of Ray Wells,” Doyle said. “Ray Wells was a lifetime resident of Pemberton—played sports here, was involved in everything in the community, and was a member of the Rotary Club for 41 years.”

Several Pemberton Township officials approached this newspaper on a condition of anonymity within the past few weeks to report that the municipality was recently the victim of a “phishing scam,” in which a $195,660 payment intended for Command Co., Inc. was unknowingly at the time redirected to a scammer.

Those that approached this newspaper alleged that there was a delayed notification to some of the most senior township officials about what had happened, with it also being alleged to this newspaper that proper protocols may not have been followed initially in notifying the appropriate law enforcement officials.

They also maintained that the township had not publicly disclosed it fell victim to the scam nearly three months after it first happened because the events that transpired are “under active investigation.”

The Pinelands Research Institute, a branch of the non-profit advocacy group Pinelands Alliance, has announced plans to expand and upgrade their Tabernacle Township research facility in hopes of bolstering scientific output that will “change the scientific landscape for New Jersey’s Pinelands,” per the Institute.

Details of improvements to the field station and the ways in which it is suggested to change the scientific landscape were provided at an Aug. 27 open house which saw researchers, industry professionals and the public come together to discuss the Institute’s current work.
