Heat

Stay Cool Jersey Shore!

I was originally going to talk about "heat" because I recently received the electric bill and this month's energy use almost doubled that of July 2020. I was not totally surprised because we have had a very HOT summer.

In Island Heights, Patrolman Mellott came to the rescue of a child locked inside of a vehicle and then helped ensure the vehicle was taken care of as well.

Jackson Police have charged a 28-year old woman who left her 2-year old child sitting alone in a hot car last Friday.

Three Brick Police Officers are heroes for rescuing a pit bull who was left on a third story balcony for several hours in the heat on Sunday.

A three-bill package aimed at improving safety for high school athletes awaits action in the Assembly after unanimously passing the Senate.

Two Brick residents are indicted by an Ocean County Grand Jury charging them with one county of animal cruelty for allegedly leaving a thirteen-month old pit-bull outside of their townhouse balcony for hours in 99 degree heat.

We are in the midst of another "heat wave" here at the Jersey Shore and I decided to give some tips , some you probably already know .... but never bad to refresh your memory and be safe. As always during extreme summer heat be sure to check on the young and elderly.

What are some other ways we can cool down like (and with) our kids? Water Balloons? Super Soakers? What else?

A Brick Township man is facing animal cruelty charges for allegedly leaving his dog out on the second floor fire escape of a Northrup Drive residence for several hours on Sunday when highs reached 99-degrees in parts of Ocean County. The dog later died.
