MULLICA TOWNSHIP - A woman pleaded guilty to animal cruelty Tuesday in municipal court after she failed to get veterinary care for a horse with a large wound, the president of the Atlantic County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said.

Heather Stafford, who ran the Montana Horse Farm on Fourth Avenue, was fined $400 plus $250 restitution for veterinary bills, said Nancy Beall, president of the county SPCA. She was also given 30 days community service and 15 days in jail, the latter to be suspended as long as she stays out of trouble.

"The sad part is, she is a rescue," Beall said.

Stafford has owned horse farms at several locations in the county and has been the target of an SPCA investigation for several years, Beall said.

Bob Maholland moved to Mullica Woods 13 years ago because of the quiet, inexpensive lifestyle it promised. It was a lifestyle that initially cost only $350 per month, but now Maholland pays nearly double that.

MULLICA TWP. -- Township Committee meetings no longer will be televised under terms of a new contract between the municipality and Comcast Cable Company.

"This is connected to (Mullica's) franchise agreement. The township agreed to the discontinuing of the taping and airing of the committee meetings," said Jeff Alexander, vice president of public relations for Comcast's eastern division.

The contract actually was finalized in February 2007, Alexander said.

Comcast continued to film and air the meetings since then.

But late last year, the company alerted township officials it would stop doing so starting this month, Alexander said.

"It was a gesture of goodwill. We honored the agreement between the township and the previous cable operator to tape and air meetings," Alexander said. "When the franchise renewals came up, all parties agreed that that would not continue."
