• Flies, grime and dog bed cited in restaurant Inspections (northjersey.com) — Monmouth County health officials recently cited several Jersey Shore restaurants for issues ranging from flies and grime to improper food temperatures and even a dog bed in one kitchen. While none of the detailed violations are in Belmar, the town falls under the same county health department that conducted these inspections, offering residents a clear look at how local food safety is enforced.
   

• Jersey Shore Blue Brings Awareness To Treatment of Immigrants By Federal Immigration Agents (thecoaster.net) — Immigrant-rights activists with Jersey Shore Blue have been regularly demonstrating on the Belmar boardwalk and at 16th Avenue and Main Street, protesting what they describe as inhumane federal immigration enforcement.
