From the NEWS desk of Tom Mongelli:

No one seems to have no opinion about Mike Ritacco. People in Toms River either love him or hate him. All of the latter seemed to pop up on the Jersey Guys Thursday night. Watch for the some changes in a matter of days, others over an indeterminate amount of time, and it could go beyond the school board. There's an emergency Board meeting Saturday, and a public meeting Tuesday.

.

Earth Day's 40th anniversary this weekend. Clean Ocean Action's annual Beach Sweeps take place Saturday in 69 spots along the shore. The strangest items in the tens of thousands of tons of trash go on display before the next sweeps in autumn. There are literally scores of other events in Ocean and Monmouth.

.
Also Saturday, Manchester dedicates World War II Veterans' Memorial Park. Our web page features a two-part insert featuring a Manchester survivor of the USS Bunker Hill, plus some dramatic visuals of the disaster off Okinawa in 1945.

.
Two public hearings on offshore drilling take place Tuesday in Newark, organized by the federal Minerals Management Service. They're at the Sheraton Airport Hotel.
Folks who think clams in the water are better than oil rigs meet Tuesday night in Toms River. Re-Clam The Bay seeks new recruits at the Ocean County Ag Building.

.
Also on Tuesday, the Ocean County League of Women Voters conducts a public discussion on the risk of nuclear plant radiation leaks on women, children and fetuses. The League is among those who want Oyster Creek decommissioned, closed and flattened.

.
Finally on Tuesday, the Toms River Township Council meets. But since everything else is happening on Tuesday, they'll have nothing to talk about and no one will be there.

.
Friday, April 30th is the deadline for the Navy to reach terms on a buyout figure with a developer and nullify a contract that would open housing at Earle Naval Weapons Station to civilians. A deal appears likely, but nothings been yet signed.

.
Former Assemblyman Dan Van Pelt's trial is scheduled to start May 3. That evening at 7, the builder of the Ocean Gate Municipal Wind Turbine visits the borough hall, where neighbors will harangue him about the noise coming out of the thing. Not especially loud. But, think of someone using an electric razor in the next room. Forever.

From the NEWS desk of Tom Mongelli:

Jon Runyan opts not to take part in WOBM's Republican candidates' primary debate May 11th. Justin Murphy and Joe Rullo will debate anywhere, anytime. Jon's campaign manager reaaalllly doesn't want him in an unguarded setting. This isn't over, even after he tells me that Jon isn't available ever, now to infinity.

Long Beach Township Mayor Joe Mancini needs 230 more DEP beachfront easements completed before his phase of federal beach replenishment can begin. He's stressing. Hung up on three of us this week alone. That's okay, homeowners with water in their TV rooms will be much more fun to interview.

New problems at Oyster Creek we're probing - critics questioning operations and equipment. The NRC has commissioned a study of cancer rates around nucleaer plants.
Five Stafford police officers jettisoned in an economy move are suing the township, claiming that they've never seen documentation to support claims of budget savings.

WOBM's contribution to the 2010 Census as a Be-Counted site wraps up in just about a week, on the 19th. Ocean County is near the top of the response list in New Jersey. Next month, census "enumerators" start ringing doorbells.

Bill Dressel of the New Jersey League of Municipalities gives his views of local impacts from the next state budget in Toms River Tuesday, in a meeting with Ocean County mayors.
Assemblywoman Mary Pat Angelini does pretty much the same thing, the same day, before the Asbury Park Chamber.

Monmouth University Job Fair, Wednesday the 14th...Elise Perrine, Andy Gury and an all-star cast.

HEADLIGHTS ON, WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON
It's the law in New Jersey to turn your headlights on whenever you use windshield wipers. Headlights must also be used between one-half hour before sunset and one-half hour after sunrise, in bad weather (during rain, smoke, fog, snow and ice storms) and whenever visibility is 500 feet or less. Being able to see clearly while driving is very important. Always make sure your lights are in good working order and clean. Headlights help other drivers see you. Proper use of headlights is vital to safe driving. Parking lights cannot legally be used when headlights are required.

From the NEWS desk of Tom Mongelli:

* President Obama's approval of offshore drilling in the Atlantic near Virginia follows in line with former President Bush's decision to let the drilling moratorium lapse in 2009 - but the opposition is massive and still growing here in NJ. Democratic Congressman Frank Pallone in Belmar today to reinforce his coastal environment reform act. Environmental and business leaders are there.

* Will beaches be tourist-ready by Memorial Day Weekend? Stacy Proebstle is actually walking the shoreline, taking photos, and talking to the people who say they can overcome a winter full of storms.

* WOBM profiles of Jackson mayoral hopefuls continue - following Mayor Mike Reina, there are Councilmen Mike Kafton and Ken Bressi.

* H1N1's back - flareups in Georgia indicate that there could be a resurgence. Get your shot yet? * Lakewood becomes one of only five spots in NJ with a counseling center for combat veterans. NJ Dept of Veterans Affairs opens it 4/23 in the Parkway 70 Plaza.
