If you've encountered difficulties with the US Census, let me know. The Ocean County Complete Count Committee meets Tuesday, and they should know about the inefficiencies. Then they'll have 10 years to refine it. Don't be too angry with the folks who visit or call you. They're temps, most getting the first work they've had in months, and most are out of a job again by mid-summer.

Details emerge next week in the death of Darnell Myres of Manchester at Monmouth Medical Center, after a scuffle with security at Community. Atlantic County Prosecutor Ted Housel is being extra careful about crossing every 't' and dotting every 'i.'

Ocean County Health Department is having trouble convincing people to get free stroke assessments May 26th at the headquarters in Toms River. If you haven't been checked, it isn't a bad idea, especially if you smoke, have high blood pressure, diabetes or heart trouble, or if you're age 55 or older.

Get married on a tall ship on LBI. Southern Ocean County Chamber is giving away a wedding ceremony on the AJ Meerwald when it sails in on July 24th. They're supplying the officiator, photographer and invitations.

Republican Congressional primary for the Third District is June 8th. Check ou Justin Murphy's views at wobm.com or wobmam.com. Then hold that thought until May 24th, when Jon Runyon sits down with us for his hour in the hot seat. Thanks, Dan Alexander and Tom Trembly, for the webcast, by the way.

In case you missed it, Congressman John Adler has an opponent in the June 8 primary. Barry Bendar, the Lacey Democratic Chairman, campaigned for Adler in '08 and now thinks it was a big mistake.

MODC Legislative Reception,, May 19th, Breakers in Spring Lake. Good networking opportunity and a chance for face time with your Trenton lawmakers.

On May 23rd, there's a public meeting to find ways of improving New Jersey's foster care system in Eatontown. Shore state lawmakers Mary Pat Angelini and Declan O'Scanlon run it at the Municipal Building at 3 pm.

Hold your ears in Ocean County June 1st. Exelon conducts its semi-annual siren test (all 43 of 'em) for the Oyster Creek Nuclear Power Plan. There's a long blast at 10 am and a short one at 1 pm.

Radio on the beach in the summertime. It doesn't get any better than that!
