Pace of Garden State Exodus Picks Up
By Martin C. Daks
 

Maybe they know something we don’t. Last week United Van Lines announced that in 2007, for the 21st consecutive year, the number of people leaving New Jersey has exceeded the number of those moving in, according to the national company’s annual migration study. The results are based on the percentage of interstate household moving engagements United made involving New Jersey as an origin or destination state.

Last week, the St. Louis, Mo.-based company said that 61 percent of its New Jersey-related activity was made up of people leaving the state, compared with only 39 percent coming in. This puts the state in third place nationally for outbound moves, trailing Michigan, which posted 67.8 percent outbound, and North Dakota, where 67.2 percent of United’s activity was outbound.

In 2006, when outflows accounted for 60.9 percent of New Jersey activity, the state again ranked third in the nation, beaten only by Michigan and North Dakota, which each posted 66 percent. Since 1977, when United Van Lines first started releasing the report, New Jersey’s outflows have exceeded its inflows except for 1986, when the state’s inflows accounted for 51 percent of the total traffic.

Children’s Toy to be Banned in New Jersey
By Scott Goldstein
 

Gov. Jon Corzine signed a bill yesterday that prohibits the sale of a children’s toy called “Yo-Yo Waterballs” in New Jersey. The toy has been blamed for injuring hundreds of children nationwide and has already been banned in Canada, Britain, France, Switzerland and Australia. Violators of the New Jersey ban, which goes into effect in three months, face a fine of up to $10,000 for a first offense and up to $20,000 for all subsequent offenses.

Yo-Yo Waterballs, which also are sold under various other names, are squishy toy balls on a bungee-cord string with a finger loop at one end. The ball is filled with toxic liquids, it is flammable, and the string can become wrapped around a child’s neck, causing strangulation.

“Yo-Yo Waterballs are a commercialized death threat to our children,” said Assemblyman David R. Mayer (D-Gloucester), the bill’s co-sponsor. “They are inherently dangerous and deserve to be banned.”

Assemblyman Paul Moriarty (D-Gloucester), a co-sponsor of the bill, said that “the Yo-Yo Waterball is easily accessible at convenience stores and toy outlets. … We obviously cannot stop a toy manufacturer from producing substandard toys, but we can stop them from turning a profit in New Jersey and causing further harm to our children.”

WCHR-AM Changes Its Tune to Sports
By João-Pierre Ruth
 

More than 40 years of bible-teaching broadcasts come to a close this month when radio station 1040 WCHR-AM in Flemington switches to 24-hour sports programming from 1050 ESPN radio in New York.

WCHR’s owner, Princeton-based Nassau Broadcasting Partners, says it signed a local marketing agreement to broadcast 1050 WEPN-AM’s signal starting mid-month. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The Walt Disney Company-owned 1050 ESPN provides coverage of New York Jets professional football, New York Knicks professional basketball, and New York Rangers professional hockey games, as well as Major League Baseball.

WCHR-AM broadcasts to Mercer, Montgomery, Hunterdon, Northampton, Warren and Somerset counties. The station has been broadcasting syndicated Christian bible teachings since 1965. There has been no word on any possible staff changes at the station in light of the new format. Caul obvious starter bombiosterol redintegration chlorobromobenzene reside brant?

New Law Toughens Penalties for Fake IDs
By Scott Goldstein
 

Gov. Jon Corzine signed a bill yesterday that toughens penalties for people who carry or distribute phony employee identification badges for public utilities. The measure (A-1940), which takes effect immediately, applies to power plants, water supply stations and general water and power infrastructure.

Anyone forging badges, distributing them or using them face fines of up to $150,000 and 10 years in jail. Those using a false utility badge or attempting to impersonate a utility employee face up to $15,000 in fines and five years in jail. And any public utility employees who allow their identification to be used by others will be subject to fines up to $10,000 and 18 months in jail.

“Electricity-generation plants and other utility facilities are potential terrorist targets and we need to mitigate our state’s vulnerability,” said Assemblyman John Wisniewski (D-Middlesex), a co-sponsor of the bill. “It’s tantamount to a security breach to not have strong penalties in place to punish individuals who pirate utility identification credentials.”
