Increase NJ's Shore Protection Fund
by Guest Speaker
Margo Walsh
The Jersey Shore Partnership
Walsh will discuss JSP's effort to increase funding to $50 million in recognition that coastal protection must include back bays, barrier islands, and inland waterways. Beach replenishment funding in the amount of $25 million (annually) began in 1991 after the devastating 1991 "Halloween" storm in order to insure that state and federal funding would be available to protect New Jersey's 127 miles of coastal shoreline. "Sandy" changed the footprint of New Jersey's coastal areas and awakened the critical need to be proactive, not reactive, in preparing for future storms.

Does Your Guest Have a Service Dog?
People with dogs are seen everywhere. We love our animals and want to take them with us. From the big box store in the shopping cart, in tote bags, to restaurants, hotels and public transportation.The question is, are they really trained service animals?
Cats, ferrets, birds or other animals cannot help a disabled person by performing a task. These pets are clearly not service animals. We think of dogs such as Labradors or Golden Retrievers as being trained assistance dogs, but what if you saw someone with a tiny Chihuahua or a small Terrier mix? Would you automatically afford the person the same rights?
