Hackensack, N.J.-Area Shoregoers Get Soggy Start to Holiday Weekend
Despite a cold, wet Memorial Day weekend, tourism officials and Realtors expect a profitable season that will boost the state's $31 billion tourism industry. Last year, the Jersey Shore had a 2 percent increase in visitors and an 8 percent increase in tourism spending. The state is projecting a 3 percent increase in visitors this year. Dominique Borzomati and Adriana Thomas, both 17, said people from other states just don't understand the Jersey Shore phenomenon. One Jersey Shore aficionado broke it down this way: Cape May gets the older crowd. Seaside Heights attracts the teenagers. Belmar and Wildwood draw in the 20-somethings. And Sandy Hook has the nude beach.

Taxpayers Can Benefit from Electronic Filing, Assistance Centers, Tax Software
There are some requirements based on age, adjusted gross income (AGI) and state residency, among other things. Each participating software company has its own guidelines. For instance, H&R Block stipulates that you make $28,000 or less annually to qualify. The IRS has estimated that about 60 percent of taxpayers -- or 2.4 million people in New Jersey -- are eligible. Check the IRS Web site to determine if you qualify. If you qualify, you will be asked to choose from a list of tax preparation companies. After that, you'll be transferred to that company's Web site. The company's software will prepare and e-file your income tax returns. The company will then transmit your return to the IRS through the e-file system, which uses secure telephone lines. An acknowledgement file, notifying you that the return has been either accepted or rejected, will be sent via e-mail from the company. Even if you don't qualify for Free File, filing online is faster and more efficient than using pen and paper. For starters, you get your refund faster. You may have a check as soon as 10 days after submitting your return, compared to four to six weeks if you file the old-fashioned way. Also, e-filed returns are 99.5-percent accurate, according to the IRS. Pen-and-paper returns are 80- percent accurate.

Church leaders are 'awed and glad' ; Groundbreaking held in Garfield
On Sunday, church members celebrated the groundbreaking of the Passaic Street property for their new church. Governor McGreevey joined the congregation for the festivities. For 76 years, Calvary Baptist has stood on Harrison Avenue. But the congregation has outgrown the building, which can hold only 200 people, said the Rev. Sharon Clapp , an associate minister. The new facility, which will be able to hold 2,000 people, will cost $6 million to construct, said Clapp. The congregation has raised $3.5 million through \"sacrificial giving,\" she said. The church may take out a loan for the rest.

Former mayor reenters politics ; Runs for council in West Paterson
In December, he lost a bitter state Superior Court battle to invalidate November's mayoral election, in which he was defeated by Democrat Pat Lepore. Now [Garry Colletti], a Republican, has his eye on a Borough Council seat and has filed a petition to run in the June primaries. Lepore contends that some of the increased costs - such as $254,000 more in police salaries - can be partly attributed to promotions Colletti made. Colletti contested the mayoral election results, charging that some votes were cast by people who lived outside the borough and that certain ballots had signature discrepancies. But a state Superior Court judge ruled Colletti hadn't proved there were enough tainted votes to affect the outcome of the race.
