| Mount Laurel shopping center rejuvenated
MOUNT LAUREL � When Zagara's Specialty & Natural Foods closed four years ago, the Village at Cambridge Crossing shopping center was left with one anchor store and a lot less customer traffic. Paramount Realty, the Lakewood-based company that purchased the center a few months before the high-end grocer closed, has spent a lot of time and money to woo shoppers back, company President Maurice Zekaria said yesterday. Now, the revitalization of the 130,000-square-foot shopping center at Route 38 and Briggs Road is in its final phase with about a half-dozen stores preparing to open by the beginning of next year, he said. Last week, the Mount Laurel Township Council issued a retail consumption license to Ruby Tuesday Inc., which will open a restaurant and bar on a pad site at the center by mid-February.

You can almost taste it, it's so close. You can feel that hot coastal breeze and smell the sun-tan lotion and the Tabard spray. Perhaps it's the awful canned Christmas medleys playing over the Tannoy at your local supermarket. Perhap... SOME CLASS AT LAST

LETTER: Wolff should start feeling the heat
Normally, a coach can be stubborn and hard-nosed if his team is consistently winning. He can assert that quality at any time because he has the track record to back it up. And if the players, whether they like him or not, respect him (at the very least by the end of their collegiate days), that coach would never have his employment in serious doubt.
The same cannot be said of men's basketball coach Dennis Wolff, especially over the last several years of poor offensive innovation and sudden transfers. Picked to finish first in America East for the first time in six years, the ballin' Terriers are expected to join their more-renowned hockey counterparts in the NCAA tournament. The quality is there in all the positions: talented guards with the ability to score and make plays, exciting wing players who can finish and versatile big men with the dexterity to go inside and out.

As elections took place Tuesday in San Bernardino, Redlands and Rialto, the crowded field of candidates vying to become or remain leaders struck tones of optimism - no matter the scenario. "I'm cautiously optimistic," San Bernardino city attorney candidate Marianne Milligan said hours before the 8 p.m. poll closures. "I feel that we did everything we could," she said. "I tried to fight the clean fight." All told, voters were to decide seven city seats in San Bernardino and Redlands, along with tax measures in Redlands and Rialto. Two more spots in San Bernardino, held by 3rd Ward Councilman Tobin Brinker and Treasurer David Kennedy, went uncontested.
