(New York, N.Y. – September 9, 2015) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation today announced that Seneca Lake, Cayuga Lake and the Seneca River are now \”no discharge zones,\” which means that boats are completely banned from discharging sewage into the water. 

The EPA reviewed DEC’s proposal to establish no discharge zones for these water bodies and determined that there are adequate facilities in the area for boats to pump out their sewage. Boaters must now dispose of their sewage at specially-designated pump-out stations around Lakes Cayuga and Seneca. This action is part of a joint EPA and New York State strategy to eliminate the discharge of sewage from boats into the state’s waterways. 

Called together from all over the world in celebration of the family, the sanctuary of love and life.

The Francis Festival, which will run Saturday, September 26 (6 a.m. – 11 p.m.) through Sunday, September 27 (6 a.m. – 11 p.m.), is a celebratory, fun and welcoming experience for the anticipated crowds from around the world already planning to attend but also for local residents – all of whom are invited to join in this historic, global event.

Extremely preterm infants, those born before the 28th week of pregnancy, are surviving in greater numbers and escaping serious illness, according to a comprehensive review of births in a National Institutes of Health research network.

The study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, reviewed the birth records of more than 35,000 premature infants born from 1993 to 2012 in 26 U.S. centers participating in the Neonatal Research Network, a program funded by NIH’s Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). The lead author was Barbara J. Stoll, M.D., chair of pediatrics at Emory University School of Medicine.

This summer, the Asbury Park city council joined the 53 percent of Americans who support legalizing marijuana, with a resolution citing both the economic benefits of legalization as well as the unnecessarily severe sanctions imposed on users of the relatively harmless drug.

Unfortunately, this is largely a symbolic gesture. Governor Chris Christie’s opposition to marijuana legalization is no secret. An Assembly bill introduced in 2014 would create a ballot initiative to remove all penalties for possession under one ounce. But the bill is unlikely to overcome Governor Christie’s expected veto.
