Recent cases:
1. Driver with prior school zone DWI sentenced as 2nd
Offender. State v. Wheatley (App. Div. 2016)
Distinguishing State v. Reiner, 180 N.J. 307
(2004), the court held that a defendant who was previously convicted of
driving while intoxicated (DWI) in a school zone in violation of N.J.S.A.
39:4-50(g) is subject to the increased penalties applicable to second
offenders under N.J.S.A. 39:4-50(a)(2) when he was subsequently convicted of a
conventional DWI in violation of N.J.S.A. 39:4-50(a). A-5026-14T1
2. Town outside surveillance camera not subject to
OPRA but maybe subject to common law. Gilleran v. Township of
Bloomfield (2016)
Compelling release on demand of security surveillance video
would be contrary to the legislative intent motivating OPRA's exemptions based
on security concerns. The Township's explanation for denying the request for
the footage was adequate. Requests for video from surveillance cameras
protecting public facilities are better analyzed under the common law right of
access. The Court therefore reverses the judgment of the Appellate Division
and remands the matter for further proceedings based on the unresolved common
law claim. A-15-15

Each Elks Lodge is encouraged to select a
citizen, not necessarily an Elk, who has contributed in a special way to
improving the local community. This individual should be someone who has shown
leadership in the community; has contributed voluntary service and is
recognized as being an all-around good citizen. Recognizing such a person show
that the Elks are concerned with building a good community, and demonstrates
"Elks Care - Elks Share." After the selection, the Elks honor him or
her by presenting the award at a dinner sponsored by the Lodge.
Reasons to join the local Elks clubs
The Elks have been synonymous with charity and community for over 100
years. They have distributed more than 3 billion dollars in cash, goods,
and services to our country's youth, veterans and disadvantaged. In
Edison and other towns, they sponsor Hoop Shoot, Soccer Shoot, and college
scholarship and drug education and prevention programs.
I have enjoyed my Community Elks membership in the Edison Elks for 25
years.

The Elks are a nationwide fraternal organization of well over a million
American citizens. We love our country and desire to preserve its
cherished institutions, traditions and values. We respect our neighbors
and constantly seek to promote their well being. We love and enjoy life
and believe this enjoyment is increased by sharing it with family, friends and
all with whom we come in contact.
The Elks expend over two million dollars yearly to bring
encouragement, cheer and comfort to hospitalized veterans throughout the
United States in fulfillment of our solemn pledge: "So long as there are
veterans in our hospitals, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks will
never forget them."
Through our local Lodge, district, state and national programs, we provide
healthful activities, guidance and assistance to over eight million boys and
girls every year. We fund scholarships, athletic teams, summer camps,
scouting, and drug education programs. We encourage civic,
environmental, and patriotic involvement through essay contests, seminars and
distribution of materials; as well as family-oriented activities in our
Lodges.
Elks operate numerous camps, hospitals, clinics, training centers and
in-home services for the care and treatment of children and adults with
physical disabilities including vision and speech problems, all across the
county.
In our many benevolence Elks and Lodges throughout the United States spend
over forty-five million dollars annually in our various works of community
betterment and charitable programs. This does not take into
consideration donated hours equivalent to over thirty-five million dollars.
In approximately 2,300 Elks Lodges throughout the United States, persons
prominent in public, business and professional life can be found. In
these Lodges, located in the principal cities and towns throughout America,
the hand-clasp of fraternity and a warm welcome as a visiting Brother await
you.

To be eligible for membership in the Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks, you must be a citizen of the United States over the
age of 21 who believes in God. You must be sponsored by a member of the Elks
Lodge and reside in the jurisdiction of the Lodge you wish to join.
You can be sponsored by any member in good standing from any lodge in the
country. You'll also need two other Elks who will be your references. The Elk
who proposes you for membership will provide you with a copy of the Membership
Application, or will email you a link to the online version of the form.
Please follow all instructions and answer all questions. If applying via hard
copy, please return your completed application to the Lodge Secretary.
Your application will be read at a regular Lodge
meeting. It will then be forwarded to the Investigating Committee, who will
call you and set up a time for you and your sponsor to meet with the committee
so that they can interview you.
After the interview is concluded, the
committee will report to the Lodge concerning your membership. The members
will be given a notice not less than 10 days nor more than two months before
the vote will be taken.
When the vote is concluded, you will be
notified and asked to present yourself and your spouse for indoctrination.
During indoctrination, you will learn more about the Order's programs and
charities. You will also be told during the program the date you will be
initiated.
After initiation as an Elk, you can take part in all
meetings and social functions of the Lodge.
