You hear a lot these days about working remotely.

As companies tighten their belts more and more, especially news companies, they find it economical to lose the big, sprawling offices and move into smaller, tighter quarters. This, of course, means less space for employees.

So employees are being asked to work remotely. Some outfits call it hoteling — smaller offices with desk space for drop-ins, only. No old fat guy sitting at a desk filled with weird memorabilia: stuffed piranhas, tiny Cadillacs, skeletons hanging on the bulletin board, a raven perched on the cubicle wall.

AOL was the first I noticed. When they launched their hyper-local operations, they had no offices for the new employees. They were urged to work in the community. This meant in coffee shops and diners, I guess. What it really meant, of course, was the people worked from home.

WEST DEPTFORD TWP. — For years. the West Deptford  D.A.R.E. and PAL programs have been limping along on a Municipal Alliance-funded budget of $4,000 — barely enough to cover the skimpiest of programs.

They managed to run  not only D.A.R.E., but the Junior Police Academy, PAL fishing trips and a helmet safety reward program.
