With Clerks 3 coming soon, and Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez back together it's time to revisit Kevin Smith's 2004 film Jersey Girl.

As long as you are chasing after the life you really want, you are a superhero in the eyes of Kevin Smith. Vilmos Zsigmond’s cinematography is warm and beautiful, Liv Tyler delivers one of her best performances, and even Will Smith shows up for a memorable cameo. Consider, for example, the conclusion of Smith’s next film Clerks II, in which Dante (Brian O’Halloran) decides to stay in New Jersey with his best friends and marry the woman (Rosario Dawson) who truly loves him. Jersey Girl is a surprisingly wholesome, Capraesque film that celebrates adulthood and commitment to family. Jersey Girl was the first Kevin Smith film to be set outside his View Askewniverse and did not feature the many hockey-playing, comic-reading, slacker characters that Smith fans had come to know and love (only Liv Tyler’s character feels like she belongs in a typical Kevin Smith movie). Instead, it took a more traditional rom-com approach. Jersey Girl stars Affleck as a New York music publicist and Lopez as his wife, who dies during childbirth.

He has travelled the length and breadth of New Zealand classifying dairy cows, with his contribution, in the last few years, being classification work closer to home. With this "Special Member Recognition", the Board of Jersey NZ and Classification Convenors past and present, would all like to thank Don sincerely for his time and expertise in his work as a TOP Inspector and Classifier. From being one of the original "paper boys", to using the first hand-held units to collect linear information and ultimately the new handhelds and new awards system, Don has taken it all in his stride. Through the years of his involvement as a classifier, Don has seen and adjusted to all of the changes that have taken place in this field. In 1996 Don and his wife Lynne were awarded an Honorary Life Membership of Jersey New Zealand for their work in the field of Youth Training, Youth Exchange and Youth Development Seminars. Don's service was recognised by the Board of Jersey NZ with a Special Member Recognition for Services to TOP and Classification.

All I was looking for was for him to perform," Lowe says. "I really think it's been a kind of a healthy thing. "When the idea came up to wear this jersey and help promote the inclusiveness and whatnot, there was probably a lot of enthusiasm but everything happened too quickly. It was incredibly, incredibly powerful." Well, now the shoe's on the other foot but they shouldn't be penalised." "I think that while they're together they'll feel pretty strong together but there'll be times when they're on their own and doubt will come into their actions. "It was devastating to get that news for me. It empowers young people." "It has potentially catastrophic consequences for some kids out there in the suburbs. I was supposed to do some other publicity and it was just too much, mate. Before I came out, I had this reluctance to come out because I was leading a gay life anyway. They need representation."

The department said: "While the general advice remains not to touch or remove dead wild seabirds, in order to obtain fresh carcasses for testing, we are asking that visitors to the offshore reefs that feel comfortable doing so safely bring carcasses back." Although people are usually told to not touch dead seabirds, officials said carcasses needed to be tested within 24 hours for a virus to be identified.

Drew University has accused Madison, N.J., officials, in a legal filing, of acting in bad faith by preventing the sale of university land.

“For a very long time, it was preserved because of the commitment of the university alone. “It would be nothing less than tragic for the people of Madison, Morris County and indeed all of New Jersey to lose this precious resource.” To Drew students, the forest preserve is an integral part of the campus experience. Drew is not the only institution re-evaluating its physical campus and downsizing in light of declining enrollment trends. “Drew is too important to Madison to have it struggle, so we’re there with them,” Conley said. The town reached a settlement in August 2020 with the Fair Share Housing Center, which works to enforce and expand affordable housing laws. Madison officials, community members and some Drew students and alumni have opposed plans to turn 45 acres of the forestland into housing. The calculation was part of a lengthy legal process to determine whether the town was complying with state affordable housing laws. “Proceeds from any land sale will go directly to improving the strength of the University’s endowment and be dedicated to providing financial support to deserving students.” The private university of about 2,200 students, located in the small town of nearly 17,000, has struggled financially amid declining enrollment and other financial challenges related to the pandemic. After years of protracted talks, the town leaders refused to support the sale of the land, which is mostly undeveloped forestland that could be developed into affordable housing. University officials have made no secret of the cash-strapped institution’s need for the money the sale would provide.
