PUSHING FOR DUDLEY PARK IMPROVEMENTS

Suspects Flee From Patrols Of Off-Road Areas
LACEY – Police continue to patrol off-road areas deep in the woods, to curtail illegal activity, trespassing, pollution and more. In one recent case, a responding officer was struck by a vehicle trapped and trying to flee. On August 13, Lieutenant Paul Sullivan, Jr., and Detective Michael Eden coordinated an additional off-road multi-jurisdictional woods enforcement detail. The present detail consisted of officers from the Lacey Township Police Department, the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office, and the New Jersey State Police. At approximately 10 p.m. the task force was patrolling the area of Lacey Materials located at 5001 W. Lacey Road in Forked River, when they
made contact with an individual trespassing on private property. The subject was operating a quad on a road leading to the Tuckerton Railroad bed. While issuing the subject a summons, the task force officers were approached by an older model dark green Jeep Cherokee occupied by several males. Several officers were positioned approximately 50 feet from the Officers issuing the summons to the above quad operator. As the Jeep approached it slowed and drove around the first set of task force officers and then stopped when they realized their way was blocked due to the enforcement action. (Patrols - See Page 5)

Blessing Of The Waters Draws Hundreds To The Beach
By Lois Rogers OCEAN COUNTY – As he has for more than a decade, Carl Jablonski set the pace in the procession from Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church to the Seaside Heights shoreline for the annual Blessing of the Waters. At 8:45 a.m., the sun was bright, the temperature was steamy and the route a couple blocks longer than usual due to some traffic re-routing. But Jablonski, who serves as cross bearer for the event, was undaunted by the trek. No doubt the crowd assembled for this major feast -- when Catholics celebrate the Assumption of the Virgin Mary into heaven – had something to do with it. “There is a terrific crowd this year – equal to what we get at the four o’clock Mass on Saturdays in the summer,” said Jablonski, Beachwood, a parishioner for nearly 40. Since 1997, members of Our Lady of Perpetual Help have carried a platform bearing a statue of Mary along the streets and boardwalks in Seaside Heights singing hymns as they go. This year there were (Blessing - See Page 4)
