The state urges customers to consult the database before buying a car
The State Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) and Division of Consumer Affairs (DCA) are urging all customers to consult their database of flood and salvage-titled vehicles before purchasing a car. That database now provides information on 31,000 such vehicles, the State MVC announced on Wednesday. It isn't illegal to sell vehicles with flood or salvaged titles. However, there are specific requirements that ensure potential purchasers are aware of the status of such vehicles, according to the MVC. “Damage sustained by vehicles must be disclosed to prospective buyers,” Attorney General Jeffrey S. Chiesa said. “We will hold car dealers accountable for violating our Consumer Fraud Act if they fail to make such disclosures.” The database was …
Vote on proposal was 6 to 3
After more than two hours of heated discussion, the Central Regional Board of Education decided to table a controversial vote on school uniforms tonight. The board voted 6 to 3 to give school administrators more time to beef up the current dress code and warn parents and students the code must be strictly adhered to. If there are more than 50 individual violations between September and December of 2013, the uniform policy will go into effect in September 2014. Board members Robert J. Everett Jr., Nick Mackres and Tracy Mianulli voted against the motion. All three said they supported uniforms and thought the policy vote should have been taken tonight. Everett and Mackres hold the Berkeley seats on the board, Mianulli represents Seaside Park…

Residents from Brick, Toms River, Belmar among those arrested
A two month-long investigation by a number of local law enforcement agencies resulted in the arrests of 10 people, plus the seizure of cars, cash and about 140 pounds of marijuana, authorities said. The culmination of "Operation Weed Whacker," which began in April and came to a close Tuesday, was announced Wednesday by Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato. During that time authorities executed search warrants in towns in Ocean, Monmouth and Middlesex counties, he said in a statement. "I have directed my Special Operations Group to slam shut the door to Ocean County on drug traffickers," Coronato said. "This will be accomplished by building strong law enforcement partnerships to protect Ocean County residents from the crime and …

Home buyouts in areas prone to flooding expected to start soon, though participation remains voluntary.
Buyouts of properties in flood prone areas are expected to begin within a matter of weeks, beginning in Middlesex County and working south into the summer months as residents and their respective town officials make the difficult decision to abandon entire neighborhoods for good. Though buyout specifics have been limited, Bob Martin, commissioner of New Jersey’s Department of Environmental Protection, said between eight and 10 towns along the coast have inquired about participating in the State’s Blue Acres program, which purchases severe repetitive loss homes in flood areas and converts the land into open space. Martin said he wanted to be cautious about naming the municipalities that have inquired about the property buyouts as many have …

Elitist? You come out and attack me for having an opinion and somehow I'm the elitist? That's some backwards logic there, sonny. It's typical authoritarian nonsense. Pretend to be moderate while insulting and degrading your opponents. Don't like what I said? Fine, then speak out against what I said with your own arguments and reasons instead of attacking me personally. Again, instead of launching…   more ›
The 76-year-old Manchester man was found dead in his home on Monday.
It was just something Wawa employees expected every day. Anthony Verdicchio would come in every day, buy a small cup of coffee and a plain donut, and spend some time “chit chatting.” Then, the 76-year-old Plainfield native would head over to the News Stand and volunteer, selling newspapers. On Monday morning, May 13, Verdicchio didn't stop by Wawa. He never made it to the News Stand. Just down the street, at Verdicchio’s home at Pine Acres Manor, one of his friends would discover Verdicchio deceased in his home later that night. The cause of death was several traumatic blows to the face and head, and his death would be ruled a homicide. As of Thursday evening, May 16, Manchester Police and the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office continued to …

Sherwin Williams is my choice for paint. The quality is super across the board and it is not as expensive as Benjamin Moore (though more expensive than the Home Depot brands). Moore also added an ingredient some 10 years ago which made the brushes very hard to clean out. Maybe that is not the case anymore as I have not used it since. Behr paint is good sometimes and terrible sometimes. It really …   more ›
