RICK STIMPSON, head lifeguard at Long Branch public beaches The oceans warm and alluring, and the hot summer weather has returned, but its a danger- ous time to swim at the Jersey Shore. At least two people were injured at ocean beaches Monday, with one man breaking his arm while bodysurfing in Bradley Beach. Lifeguards rescued dozens of bathers in Mon- mouth and Ocean counties Sunday and Monday as life-threatening rip currents pounded the At- lantic Ocean. The National Weather Service warned that the threat of dangerous rip currents will increase heading into Wednesday and Thursday as Trop- ical Storm Cristobal tracks offshore. On Monday, the ocean was definitely very dangerous, Seaside Heights Beach Patrol Capt. Rob Connor said. The rip currents are popping up all over the place. With ocean temperatures in the mid- to upper 70s and summer on the wane, many people are heading for beaches this week and want to go swimming.

Were going to be looking at large tax in- creases in the years to come if this deep well con- tinues. Curley is asking his fellow freeholders to vote on a resolution that would put the Geraldine L. Thompson and John L. Montgomery care centers up for sale, a move that Monmouth County has debated over the years as the facilities have steadily lost millions. Since 2007, the centers have lost more than $40 million in op- erating costs, not counting this years deficits or capital TANYA BREEN/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Charles Bull, 71, who resides at Geraldine L.
