Smith was one of hundreds of breast can-

cer survivors who came to the Komen Cen-

tral and South Jersey regions 21st Race for
the Cure. On the chilly morning, Smiths sup-
porters many of whom helped babysit her
daughters, cook meals and care for her in the
weeks after Smith had both breasts removed
and started chemotherapy treatment wore
pink tutus.
We wanted to rock it, Smith said of the out-
fits.
Like the thousands gathered at the Race for
the Cure, Smith looked to celebrate her sur-
vival. Many others honored and remem-
bered those who died from breast cancer,
and worked to raise money for a cure.
One in eight women will develop
breast cancer in their lifetimes, accord-
ing to the American Cancer Society. Each
year, 40,000 women die from breast cancer
in the United States, according to the ACS.
In New Jersey, about 7,000 women likely
will be diagnosed with breast cancer this
year, and more than 1,000 will die from the
disease, according to the Susan G. Komen
Central and South Jersey affiliate.
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of
cancer death in women, surpassed only by lung
cancer, according to the ACS.

married and living in Lawrenceville, Mercer
County, when she was diagnosed with breast
cancer.

BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH
It was five months past the blown deadline on a task
force report on domestic violence by the time legisla-
tors and advocates announced they would hold a news
conference calling out the delay.
Then, hours before the group was to gather in a first-
floor state room in the capitol on Thursday, the report,
ordered by Gov. Chris Christie to study the availability
of technology to track domestic violence offenders,
was released by the Attorney Generals office.
The timing of the release would be the least of the

HISTORIC DECISIONS ON THE HORIZON FOR SUPREME COURT JUSTICES? PAGE 1B
It is looking like the good ol days on Long Beach Is-
land, before there was a Great Recession and such a
thing as a superstorm.
Nearly two years ago the barrier island had, in some
areas, represented the worst of superstorm Sandys de-
struction: collided homes, leaking gas mains and de-
bris-strewn streets. The October 2012 storm rang up
$23.3 million in damage to 2,100 homes, according to
Federal Emergency Management Agency data.
Now, the island is more than just rebuilding it is
seeing a wave of new construction. Demand for new
homes is high, experts and real estate officials say,
thanks in part to new elevation requirements and a fed-
eral dune replenishment project seen as a strong front

JACKSON Just a year and a half ago, Jenn Smith of Juliustown, Burlington County, learned
that what her doctors believed was a cyst in her breast was far worse.
It was cancer, 39-year-old Smith said Sunday, as she and a team of her supporters gath-
ered at the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure at Six Flags Hurricane Harbor in Jackson.
Smith, her two young daughters and many of her teammates joined about 8,000 people in
the annual race to raise money for breast cancer research and programs.
