oann Squeo leans up against the gray
aluminum siding of the Keansburg
home she grew up in, the home where
she raised her kids, the home she was
forced out of by superstorm Sandy
and the home that she feared was slip-
ping out of her grasp forever.
Theres a lot of memories here. ... I wouldnt
know where to go, she said in the backyard of her
Forest Avenue home last month.
For the last 20 months, she was never more
than a few miles from the house living in area
hotels at first, then back in the unfinished home
and now a rental house in another section of
Keansburg but it might as well have been
across the country.
For the longest time, Squeo, 56, who lives with
two adult children and her longtime partner,
didnt know where to turn for help. The Squeos
spent every penny they had and then racked up
considerable credit card debt. They were victim-
ized by the well-meaning and the malicious alike

TOMS RIVER A second NJ Transit commuter bus
driver has been disciplined this month for reading be-
hind the wheel after a New York-bound passenger
snapped a cellphone photograph of the driver looking at
an electronic reader, NJ Transit officials told the As-
bury Park Press.
On Tuesday, a passenger who rode a 6:45 a.m. bus out
of Toms River took the photo of the incident about 8
a.m., showing the bus stopped in traffic waiting to enter
the exclusive bus lane to the Lincoln Tunnel. She tweet-
ed the photo to NJ Transit and the Delayed on NJ Tran-
sit commuter group.

Tired and hungry. There is a reason why these two
conditions seem to go together so easily.
Medical research suggests young children and in-
fants who do not get enough sleep are likely to develop
obesity and a host of devastating related health con-
ditions before they enter their teen years.
And by then, reversing the obesity is almost impos-
sible, health experts say.
A study published in May in the journal Pediatrics
hypothesizes that children sleeping less in early child-
hood developed obesity by age 7.
But the findings from researchers at Massachusetts
General Hospital for Children are hardly shocking, say
local physicians.
The studys other conclusion confirms what doctors
already know: that obese children who suffer from ob-
structive sleep apnea also experience a variety of
health issues, according to Dr. Ignacio Tapia, a pediat-
ric pulmonologist and sleep medicine specialist at the
Sleep Center at The Childrens Hospital of Philadel-

The Gov and The Rock apparently dont mix well
on screen.
Hours after Gov. Chris Christie posted a Hollywood-
style YouTube video that included the actor whose
real name is Dwayne Johnson but is nicknamed The
Rock and is known for his chiseled body and profession-
al wrestling history the video was pulled from the
governors account.
And then it popped back up again three seconds
and one bulging actor shorter.
It isnt clear why The Rock was cut from the clip, but
Christies Twitter feed had this on Wednesday, along
with a link to the new version of the trailer-style video:
