This Month In History: Celebrating July 4
By J. Mark Mutter TOMS RIVER This year marks the 246th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Hard to believe - especially for those of us who remember the bicentennial in 1976 - but in four short years we will be celebrating 250 years of independence!
Yes - there will be parades, picnics, and fireworks. Let’s remember, too, how our country and county have celebrated past celebrations of independence, and what it’s really all about. 1776: Just Another Day For us here in current day Ocean County,
history does not tell us how local residents reacted to the news of independence. In 1776, we were still part of Monmouth County and the closest newspaper was published in New York - The Gazette. There were just two established towns then - Dover (now Toms River) and Staf-
ford - and Dover’s early records were lost to history in 1782 when the British attacked and burned the town’s village in the waning days of the Revolutionary War. But history does tell us that our area of colonial New Jersey had long supported independence as the fight at the Toms Riv-

Curfew Enacted For Barrier Island
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – A curfew on the barrier island is just one more tool officials are using to crack down on a party atmosphere at the Jersey Shore. The curfew went into effect on June 13, and will last until September 30. Anyone 17 or younger who is outdoors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian from 11 p.m. through 5 a.m. in North Beach and Ortley Beach. There are exceptions to this rule, which include medical emergencies, jobs, private gatherings, and religious or educational functions. The minors can be out alone if they are running an errand for a parent or guardian. If caught violating the curfew, the child could be charged with a disorderly person’s offense, and would be subject to penalties imposed by the municipal court. This is in response to complaints by residents of “unruly behavior by juveniles” (Curfew - See Page 5)
Surf & Stream Residents Face Mass Eviction
America celebrated on July 4, 1776 as it was just another day as people went about their everyday business - oblivious to the fact that 55 delegates were meeting in a hall debating and voting on independence. (The actual vote for indepen-
By Stephanie A. Faughnan MANCHESTER - Surf and Stream residents who claim they live at the campgrounds year-round have been served with mass eviction notices.
