In other news, Chinese educators visit Summit and parents fight for medical marijuana for toddler
In addition to a fundraiser for 'Kai the Hitchhiker's' $3 million bail, a Change.org petition to free Kai is also making the rounds on the Internet.

Gov. Christie appeared at Seaside Heights boardwalk Friday to promote the Jersey Shore
The Jersey Shore is officially open for summer, Gov. Chris Christie said as he spent Friday morning in Seaside Heights promoting tourism in New Jersey.

"I'm so thrilled that this morning we're here with the whole country welcoming the Jersey Shore back." After being battered by Superstorm Sandy, many businesses on the boardwalk are open and welcoming customers, though others continue to make repairs. Despite some grey skies, …

Bulk Pickup is Back in Garwood, For a Price
A new opt-in program is available to residents for an $80 fee.
Bulk pickup is back in Garwood, with a new opt-in program available to residents who buy an $80 permit. The $80 permit allows for disposal of up to 750 pounds of bulk. Neighbors can also share a permit and group their waste, so long as the load stays under 750 pounds. To sign up and for detailed guidelines, see the program flyer in our gallery; it was also mailed to all residents. The pickup is to begin June 24, after the borough-wide garage sale scheduled for June 22 and 23. The bulk issue has been a controversial topic after the borough eliminated the free service in 2010. That cut was a budgetary one; eliminating the program would help to compensate for a loss of $126,000 in state aid. (The program cost the borough $32,500 for six …

We taxpayers have to pay for bulk while a sitting councilman is receiving $25k/year in benefits he used to pay himself thru his business. Talk about Democrats paying their fair share. What a joke! Thanks Lou! more ›
As Rebuilding Continues, Shore is Open for Business
Tourism commissioner says rental market is healthy.
Though immense devastation from Superstorm Sandy remains visible up and down the New Jersey coastline, beaches, boardwalks and even rental homes are ready for the annual influx of summer tourists that will begin this weekend, officials said Thursday at the annual "State of the Shore" event in Belmar. The State of the Shore report is presented by state officials and the New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium every year before Memorial Day weekend kicks off, but this year it evolved to mark the unofficial reopening of the Shore area following Sandy. With emergency repairs to state and local infrastructure damaged by the storm now complete, work has started on the state's long term recovery, said Bob Martin, commissioner of the state Department of …

If he really was drugged and raped, then why GO BACK! Even if you felt you were wronged, then you should have gone to the police. People think they know him, but what about the people who knew the victim and are just as shocked about the claims made against him? Sounds to me like killed the guy (he admits he killed him) and now doesn't want to go to jail. If you were innocent and protecting your … more ›

Good heavens, can you people read? I mean, seriously, can you comprehend the meaning of a simple sentence? You can't spell Foxconn, for instance, or see the difference between slave labor and decent hourly wages. Have we really become a people who use diatribe in place of dialog? And finally, the screen name "Gobsmacked" refers to a British term meaning "amazed". That anyone could be so … more ›
