Ocean City has proposed a new local law that would prohibit sleeping or camping in public places, such as the beach, Boardwalk, parks and playgrounds. According to BreakingAC.com, an exception is carved out in the ordinance for "beach naps." So that means if you nod off while relaxing in a chair or lying on a blanket on the beach, you won't risk violating the ordinance and possibly getting fined. City Council introduced the measure on June 25 and has scheduled a public hearing and final vote at its July 16 meeting at 6 p.m. at City Hall.

Hammonton Cousins Facing Attempted Murder Counts
Two Hammonton teenage cousins already charged in an armed robbery are now charged with five counts of attempted murder for shooting up a Hamilton Township home on Easter. According to BreakingAC.com, the teens then fled in a black Corvette reported stolen out of Berlin, Camden County. Antonio Martinez, who turned 19 on June 27, and his then-17-year-old cousin have been in custody since April 22, a day after they allegedly robbed another teen at gunpoint, taking his black New Balance sneakers. An investigation also tied the cousins to the shooting of a home in the 4900 block of Denbigh Court in Mays Landing in April.
Aviation Funding
In response to a nationwide shortage of qualified air traffic controllers that has resulted in growing safety concerns and flight delays, Jersey officials have awarded $3.5 million in state financing to three public institutions to train aviation professionals. Kean University and Atlantic Cape Community College each earned $1.5 million, while Warren County Community College received $500,000 under a grant program designed to expand New Jersey's pipeline of aerospace professionals, the state Office of the Secretary of Higher Education announced on Tuesday.
