NJ Supreme Court nixes lawsuit from woman injured while rescuing dog at Jersey Shore

TRENTON, N.J. - A woman who says she suffered serious injuries while trying to save her neighbors’ dog from a canal can’t sue the pooch’s owners, New Jersey’s Supreme Court ruled on Monday.The court unanimously rejected Ann Samolyk’s claims that laws allowing legal action for injuries suffered while rescuing a person who put themselves in peril should allow her to sue for damages.

Two Jersey Shore towns go to court to block pop-up parties

LONG BRANCH, N.J. - Two popular Jersey Shore towns are going to court to try to block so-called "pop-up parties" at which thousands of people gather on the beach.They acted after previous events resulted in public drinking, drug use, fights and vandalism.At least two such parties planned for later this month are currently being advertised in online fliers that encourage attendees to bring their own liquor and marijuana, and promise public boxing matches.Long Branch is asking a court to block promoters of the parties from hosting any such event without first getting a permit from the city, and seeks financial damages from them stemming from a party they hosted last month.Point Pleasant Beach also plans to go to court against many of the same individuals by Monday.Long Branch’s lawsuit names six people from northern and central New Jersey as defendants. They could not be reached for comment Friday and several social media accounts that were attributed to them in court papers had been deleted as of Friday morning.Both towns were the site of past pop-up events officials say got out of hand and resulted in tens of thousands of dollars worth of expenses in police overtime costs alone."Enough is enough," said Long Branch Public Safety Director Domingos Saldida.

Late spring storm keeping some Jersey shore beaches closed for Memorial Day

NORTH WILDWOOD, N.J. - Erosion from a late spring storm will keep some beaches at the Jersey Shore from being ready for visitors on Memorial Day weekend, but overall, the shore came through the winter in good shape.Scientists and local officials at some shore towns say a storm earlier this month caused erosion that won't be able to be repaired in time for Memorial Day weekend crowds, but note that the vast majority of Jersey Shore beaches will be ready for holiday crowds.Shore towns including North Wildwood and Toms River are among spots where at least some of the beaches will not be open in time for the unofficial start of the summer tourism season."Overall the state's beaches are in good condition," said Jon Miller, an expert on coastal engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology. "There were some areas where we knew we would need some more sand."The worst culprit was the so-called "Mother's Day storm" in early May in which the storm lasted for numerous high tide cycles and ate away chunks of beaches on many shore towns.
