TINICUM, Pa. - Delegates for New Jerseys Democratic National Convention began arriving in the City of
Brotherly Love Sunday, ready to formally nominate
Hillary Clinton as the partys presidential nominee.
But a rift in the party still remains some Bernie
Sanders supporters have not thrown their support behind Clinton. Bernie or Bust protesters are already
marching around the downtown, and delegates feel
torn about how to bring the party together by weeks
end.
To cast a vote for Hillary Clinton as the first major
party candidate as a woman is very exciting, said Laura Matos, a Belmar delegate who served as New Jersey

If you think presidential
politics used to be a less colorful sport, well, you were not
in Asbury Park on Oct. 7, 1964.
Barry Goldwater, the Republican nominee for president, was on a campaign swing
through New Jersey. As the
U.S. senator from Arizona and his entourage
made their way to the Shore, some of his
more enthusiastic supporters thought it
would be a clever homage to the man to dye
the Atlantic Ocean gold (therefore making
the sea into literal gold water) in front of
Convention Hall, where inside, Goldwater
was to deliver his stump speech that afternoon.
As then-Asbury Park Press reporter Jim
Ciavaglia reported from the scene, the ocean
turned a jaundiced green color when the
dye reacted with the salt water. Organizers

POINT PLEASANT Men and women planning terror attacks in the U.S. have changed their habits in two
major ways, officials say.
First, they are staying put, fanning the flames of
their own fervor rather than traveling overseas for
training or moving here from abroad. Second, they are
abandoning homemade explosives because it is easier
to buy guns and knives.
So far, 2016 has seen frequent terror attacks

The state Department of Environmental Protection describes the timber rattlesnake as having dark
brown to black crossbands or chevrons, blotches
nearest head, full lateral jagged bands by midsection
of body. Dark bands typically outlined with lighter
colored skin. They can vary in color from pale yellow through shades of brown to nearly completely
