Measure Would Designate May 15-21, 2011 as “Emergency Medical Services Week” TRENTON, NJ - Legislation sponsored by Assembly Republican Whip Dave Rible, which designates May 15 through Mary 21, 2011 as “Emergency Medical Services Week,” has been approved by the New Jersey Senate and General Assembly. “Emergency medical service professionals not only save lives, but they selflessly risk their own well-being in order to assist those in need,” said Rible. “It is important for the Legislature to designate a week in order to call attention to the dedication and tireless efforts of these heroic men and women.” Whether they are career or volunteer, emergency medical services professionals partake in thousands of hours of specialized training and continuing education to improve their skills. In addition, emergency medical services professionals generously give their time to travel considerable distances in order to provide medical assistance. “Emergency medical service professionals provide immediate quality medical care which significantly improves the survival and recovery rate for those they treat,” said Rible. “New Jersey residents are fortunate to have trained professionals available in case of medical emergencies and should take time to acknowledge and commend their noble work.” The legislation, SCR-67, now heads to Governor Chris Christie for his signature.

Samantha White, FCS Manager of Volunteer Services, Michael Conte & Janice Conte, owners of Darla's Cleaners and Christine Misita, Manager of the FCS Thrift Boutique “We’ve had a great response from the community,” says FCS Volunteer Services Manager Samantha White. “A number of organizations have downloaded the information from our website and are sponsoring dress drives in their school or church. We expect to have a great selection of merchandise on hand when our doors open on the second.” During the event, young shoppers will be able to purchase a prom gown or dress for $15, or they can purchase a complete ensemble, including dress, shoes and accessories, for just $20. The girls can shop with confidence, knowing all of the merchandise will be clean, thanks to Long Branch business owners Michael and Janice Conte. The two own Darla’s Cleaners on Branchport Avenue, located directly across the street from the Thrift Boutique, and have agreed to dry clean the donated dresses for free.

In NJ Politics, Voters Prefer Checks and Balances

Newsbrief - Monmouth County
Written by Rutgers-Eagleton Poll

Favor Obama Re-election in 2012 by nine points NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J – With all 120 seats up for grabs in November, a Rutgers-Eagleton Poll finds that voters prefer to keep Democrats in control of the New Jersey Legislature. A majority (54 percent) want Democrats as a check on Gov. Chris Christie, while 37 percent want Republicans in charge to support their leader’s plans for change. However, the poll finds an undercurrent of anti-incumbency: only 30 percent would vote for their “current legislators” while 54 percent would “prefer to vote for someone new.” “Though it’s early, voters are quite clear they prefer divided state government,” said David Redlawsk, director of the Rutgers-Eagleton Poll and professor of political science at Rutgers University. “They also show a limited understanding of the current environment, since throwing out incumbents would basically mean giving Republicans control in Trenton.” Looking toward the 2012 presidential election, nearly half the state’s registered voters (48 percent) say President Barack Obama deserves re-election, while 39 percent disagree. Republicans are split on an opponent, with former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney at 12 percent, Christie at 11 percent, and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin receiving 10 percent support. Forty-two percent did not name a candidate.
