Though the July 4th holiday is a few days away, some long-range forecast models are indicating that portions of the Independence Day Weekend could feature temperatures well into the upper-80s.

And that could only be the begin-ning of a prolonged heat spell that starts with the work week that follows the Independence Day weekend.

According to the NCEP GFS weather model, temperatures on Friday, July 5 will top out near 90 degrees across much of the interior portion of South Jersey.

Anyone venturing down the I-95

corridor may have to endure 95-de-gree high temperatures as well, es-pecially in the urban heat centers of Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and Richmond.

In fact, NOAA’s Climate Forecast-ing Center indicates a great likelihood of above-normal temperatures to continue through July 8.

AccuWeather chimes in with a string of 90-degree days in South Jersey following the Independence Day holiday.

The Weather Channel isn’t quite as optimistic but keeps the July 4th warmth contained to the mid-dle-80s.

For up-to-date weather alerts, go to www.shorenewstoday.com.

Independence Day could bring a revolution in heat

WILDWOOD – Thou-sands of people are expected to make their way to the Wild-wood beach and boardwalk to watch Jack Serpico’s work throughout the summer, but few will know he is the man behind their “oohs” and “ahs.”Serpico is a fourth-generation pyrotechnic who has designed Wildwood’s Friday night and July Fourth fireworks shows for almost 20 years. He goes by the nickname “Pyro Jack” – and those few minutes of Roman candles, comets, strobe stars, salutes and peonies are his art. “I put my heart and soul into that show,” Serpico said.

Wildwood’s weekly fire-works on the beach kick off Fri-day, June 27, and will continue every Friday through Sept. 12, with a special 20-minute show on the Fourth of July. Serpico is a Toms River lawyer whose great-grandfather started a fi re-works company in Italy during the late 1800s. The company, now called Serpico Pyrotech-nics, has since been passed from his grandfather to his father to him.

“I’m an attorney by profes-sion, but I’m more passionate about this,” he said of designing fi reworks shows. “I was raised in it, so it’s second nature to me.”

Serpico also has worked in Baltimore, Annapolis and Ocean City, Md., and for Cae-sar’s Atlantic City. He also does private shows for wed-dings and celebrations, as well as theater pyrotechnics. Wildwood, however, has evolved into his “premier show.”

The resort’s huge beach is an ideal stage for fi reworks because all that sand puts lots of space between the spectators and Ser-pico’s canvas.

The larger diameter of the fi reworks the more clearance that is required, so smaller beaches generally limit the size of the fi reworks. In Wildwood though, Serpico can set off shells with

up to a 12-inch diameter, which create about 1,200 feet of light per explosion, he said.

The fi reworks come from Chi-na, Japan and Spain, according to Serpico.

Jim Grauel, Wildwood’s fi re offi cial, looks at the weather re-port and wind gusts to determine if the show will go on. He said that Morey’s Surfside and Mar-iner’s Landing Piers act as bar-riers between the staging area at Pine Avenue and the more than 10,000 spectators who will watch from the beach and boardwalk. “You can hear the crowd roar like it’s a major sporting event,” he said.

Serpico said the shows are designed entirely on a computer. For the Friday night shows, which last about seven or eight minutes, he uses about 300 connections to seven or eight computer mod-ules to operate the show. Three or four fi reworks are attached to each of those connections. But the July Fourth show is his pièce de résistance. It requires about 600 connections with five or six fireworks attached to each, and the show’s budget jumps from $5,250 to $27,500. “We’re talking about in the thousands versus in the hundreds,” Serpico said. All of the fi reworks are lit elec-tronically, rather than hand-fi ring them, which Serpico said is clear-ly safer, but has other benefi ts too. “You’ll never get the artistry, design, or timing with a hand-fi red show that you would with a computer,” he said.

Even in the dead of winter, Serpico will have summer on his mind. That is when he designs

Wildwood’s shows, which he said are typically built upon what he has done in the past, with a few new features each year. Sometimes it’s a nod to a new ride at Morey’s, or some new element on the boardwalk. “Then, when it’s nice and quiet and nobody’s around on a nice cold day, I’ll come down to the boardwalk and run the show through on my laptop,” he said.

Serpico, 64, grew up in Mon-mouth County and spent his summers on the beaches of Asbury Park, working as an umbrella boy. Summertime and fi reworks, to him, go together like ice cream and sprinkles – or Sam’s Pizza and a birch beer. “I’m a boardwalk and beach guy. I was raised along this coastline, and boardwalks are my second nature, so I surely look forward to going to Wildwood’s shows,” he said.

Serpico has been working with fireworks almost all his life, with more focus on de-signing shows over the last 25 years. In the last decade, he has dedicated more of his time to his art, he said, and he doesn’t plan to retire anytime soon. “I absolutely have no inten-tion of slowing down, and I’m actually working harder,” he said. “It’s very rewarding when you hear a crowd clap that they’ve enjoyed a show.”Wildwood’s fi rst Friday night fi reworks show is 10 p.m. Fri-day, June 27 on the beach. The fi reworks are visible throughout most of the Wildwoods. The Fourth of July Fireworks Spec-tacular is scheduled for 10 p.m. July 4.

Pyrotechnics are his passion and

his pleasureToms River attorney Jack Serpico is the ‘man behind

the curtain’ creating Wildwood’s fi reworksFireworks are synon-

ymous with our cele-bration of Independence Day. Yet, the thrill of fireworks can also bring pain.

An average of 200 peo-ple show up at emergen-cy rooms every day with fireworks-related inju-ries in the month around the July 4 holiday.

Remember, fireworks can be dangerous, caus-ing serious burn and eye injuries. You can help prevent fireworks-relat-ed injuries and deaths. How? By working with a national, state or local organization where you live to promote fireworks safety in your commu-nity.

Follow these safety tips by the U.S. Con-sumer Product Safety Commission when using fireworks:

* Never allow young children to play with or ignite fireworks.

* Avoid buying fire-works that are packaged

in brown paper because this is often a sign that the fireworks were made for professional displays and that they could pose a danger to consumers.

* Always have an adult supervise fireworks ac-tivities. Parents don’t realize that young chil-dren suffer injuries from s p a r k l e r s . S p a r k l e r s burn at temperatures of about 2,000 degrees – hot enough to melt some metals.

* Never place any part of your body directly over a fireworks device when lighting the fuse. Back up to a safe dis-tance immediately after lighting fireworks.

* Never try to relight or pick up fireworks that have not ignited fully.

* Never point or throw fireworks at another per-son.

* Keep a bucket of water or a garden hose handy in case of fire or other mishap.

* Light fireworks one

at a time, then move back quickly.

* Never carry f ire-works in a pocket or shoot them off in metal or glass containers.

* After fireworks com-plete their burning, douse the spent device with plenty of water from a bucket or hose before discarding it to prevent a trash fire.

* Make sure fireworks are legal in your area before buying or using them.

A c c o r d i n g t o t h e New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs, any business that advertises, offers to sell or sells fireworks to residents of New Jersey is required to clearly and conspicuous-ly disclose that fireworks are i l legal to possess or use in New Jersey without a valid permit. Failure to do so would constitute a violation of the New Jersey Con-sumer Fraud Act and its regulations.

Playing with fi reworks is a

dangerous game

‘Stellaluna’ tells the tale of a baby fruit bat that falls into a bird’s nest after her mother was attacked by an owl. The bird adopts Stellaluna and raises the baby bat as one of her own babies until Stellaluna is reunit-ed with her own mother. The book has simple but beautiful artwork that frames the story. Overall, Cannon offers a great message for young children about acceptance and friend-ship.

“ H a n k F i n d s a n Egg” by Re-becca Dud-ley

I n t h i s w o r d l e s s p i c t u r e book, Hank, a small ted-dy bear, fi nds an egg on the forest floor. He tries everything he can think of to return the egg to its nest, but the tree is just too high. Upon meeting a hum-mingbird in the woods, the two creatures work together and the little egg is safely returned to its nest. I am fond of this book in particular because young children often feel that they are too small to perform big tasks. Hank Finds an Egg shows that with a bit of creativity, determination, and help from others accomplishing any task is possible.

“The Quiet Place” by Sarah Stewart

‘The Quiet Place’ is about a young girl, Isabel, who emigrat-ed to the U.S. from Mexico. The author details all of the things Isabel misses about Mexico while also sharing the exciting, new experiences she fi nds in the U.S. One of her favorite things about the move is the box that her father transformed into a quiet place where Isabel can feel safe and slowly begin to feel at home in her new country. The story takes place in the 1950s and is told through Isabel’s letters with her Aunt Lupita. I like this book because of the colorful and detailed illustrations as well as the short, but moving, text.

Elementary

“Ramona Quimby, Age 8” by Beverly Cleary

In this award-winning chap-ter book, Ramona is navigating life in the third grade. How-ever, things are quite diffi cult

for Ramona: she accidentally squishes an egg in her hair and throws up in front of her class. None of this seems to keep Ra-mona down though! Beverly Cleary has created a character that many children can identify with. Ramona is an energetic, vibrant and witty character to also faces the daily challenges of the third grade. The book is engaging and offers easy to read language for children.

“Magic Tree House Series” by Mary Pope Osborne

In this series, two siblings from Pennsylvania, Jack and Annie, discover a tree house in the woods near their home that is fi lled with books. Soon after Jack and Annie learn that the tree house is magical and can transport them to exciting places all over the world and historical periods. The series follows the sibling’s many ad-ventures. I love this series be-cause the books are short, av-eraging about 80 – 100 pages,

and fast-paced with language that is easy to follow for kids new to chapter books. Each books offers entertainment whi le a lso p r o v i d i n g educational information about the lo-cation or time

period Jack and Annie find themselves in.

“Hoot” by Carl HiaasenThe book follows Roy

Eberhardt as he becomes the new kid once again due to his dad’s job. This time Roy has moved from Montana to Florida where he meets a wonderfully written cast of characters, a barefoot boy named Mulletfi ngers and his stepsister, Beatrice. Together with his new friends, Roy works to stop the construction of a pancake house that will threaten the local wildlife: a group of burrowing owls. This has been a favorite book of mine because of the funny but believable characters. The dy-namic between Roy, Beatrice, and Mulletfingers conveys an easygoing friendship that preteens can easily relate to. Additionally, the book offers a great message about the importance of protecting the ecosystem without seeming too much like a lecture, which will appeal to young readers.

Middle School

“A Tale Dark and Grimm” by Adam Gidwitz

The fi rst in a trilogy, ‘A Tale Dark and Grimm’ reworks some of the lesser-known fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm. The book follows Hansel and Gretel as they roam the forest on their quest, battling evil fairy tale characters, saving those in need and ultimately becoming heroes. Although there are parts not meant for the

squeamish the book is humorous, inventive, and addictive. Kids will certainly enjoy Gidwitz’s modern twist on fairy tales.

“Percy Jackson” by Rick Riordan

The series is fun, ac-tion-fi lled, and accurate with the original Greek myths being discussed. The fi ve books fol-low the demi-god Percy Jack-son (half human/half Greek god) and his friends Annabeth and Grover as they set out on quests that lead the trio all over the globe. In each book Percy faces new challenges that will ultimately end in preserving or destroying Olympus. This series offers middle grade readers a storyline that is new and exciting. The characters are all well-rounded and believable; while Percy, Annabeth, and Grover are all considered heroes, they are not without their fl aws.

High School

“I Hunt Killers” by Barry Lyga

Lyga’s lead character Jasper Dent is an average teenager in almost every way: he works hard at school, spends his free time with his best friend and girlfriend, and is an all-around likeable person. There is one major aspect that sets him apart though. His father is the world’s most infamous serial killer. In book one of this se-ries, Jasper sets out to help the local police track a serial killer in order to prove to the town, and more importantly him-self, that he’s nothing like his father. This book is great for anyone who enjoys thrillers or mysteries. The narration really gives an insight into Jasper’s view of the world and all the personal turmoil he tries to deal with. The novel is quick-paced and constantly leaves the reader guessing what will happen next.

“Etiquette & Espionage” by Gail Carriger

‘Etiquette & Espionage’ opens with Sophronia being shipped off to what she na-ively believes to be a fi nish-ing school for young women due to her recent behavior. However, upon arriving at Mademoiselle Geraldine’s Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality, Sophro-nia realizes that the school is nothing like she presumed. In fact, Mademoiselle Ger-aldine’s is actually a training ground for future spies, and Sophronia fi nds herself right in the middle of a commotion over a stolen prototype. Set in Victorian England, Etiquette & Espionage is a wonderful blend of mystery, fantasy, and steampunk, rounded out with a group of witty, quirky, and lively characters of the human, vampire, and werewolf nature. The book gives a lot of fun nods to the Victorian era while intermixing futuristic aspects like the fl oating airship that houses the finishing school, dirigibles, and robots. The

Beach reads for kids

language of the time period can be a bit tricky to master, but the clever dialogue makes it worthwhile to read.

“Pete the Cat: I Love My Whi te Shoes” by Eric Litwin

The story takes place as Pete the Cat is walk-i n g d o w n t h e s t r e e t in his new white sneak-ers. Along the way, his shoes change from white to red, to blue, to brown, and fi nally they are wet as he steps in piles of strawberries, blue-berries and other big messes. No matter what color his shoes are, Pete keeps movin’ and groovin’ and singin’ his song…because it’s all good. What a fun way to learn the colors and resilience!

“Dragons Love Tacos” by Adam Rubin

Dragons love everything about tacos, their crunch, their smell and especially the way they taste. The best way to make friends with dragons is to have a taco party, so what could go wrong? This book has it all-dragons, parties, and tacos. Along with excellent watercolor illustrations, a good time will be had by all.

“The Scraps Book” by Lois Ehlert

The dog days of summer will fl y by when you read the latest offering from this classic chil-dren’s book author. Beautifully assembled in collage form Ms. Ehlert describes how she en-joyed making things ever since she was a little girl and how that love of creation evolved into a career. This illustrated journal will get your child looking at the world around him to inspire his next creation.

Middle Readers

“Wonder” by R.J. PalacioAuggie Pullman was born

with a facial deformity that prevented him from going to a mainstream school—until now. He’s about to enter fi fth grade at Beecher Prep, and if you’ve ever been the new kid, then you know just how hard that can be. The thing is Auggie’s just an ordinary kid with an extraordinary face. Can he convince his new classmates that he’s just like them, despite appearances?

The story begins with Aug-gie’s point of view, but soon switches to his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend and others. These perspectives converge in

a portrait of one community’s struggle with empathy, com-passion, and acceptance.

“The One and Only Ivan” by Katherine Applegate

Inspired by the true story of a gorilla, known as Ivan, this illustrated novel is told from

the point- of-view of Ivan him-self. Hav-ing spent 27 years behind the glass walls of his en-closure at a s h o p -ping mall, Ivan has grown ac-customed to humans watching him. He h a r d l y ever thinks about his

life in the jungle. Instead, Ivan occupies himself with tele-vision, his friends, Stella and Bob, and painting. But when he meets Ruby, a baby elephant taken from the wild, he is forced to see their home and his art through new eyes. This is a beautiful story, destined to be a classic (like Charlotte’s Web or Stuart Little) that blends friendship, art, and hope. (An author’s note depicts the dif-ferences between the fi ctional story and the true events).

“Game Changers: Book 3, Heavy Hitters” by Mike Lupica

It’s hard to get boys to read and for many boys, books about sports get the job done. Mike Lupica succeeds again with this one. Ben and his friends, the Core Four Plus One, are excited to play in the town’s All Star Baseball League. But in the fi rst game of the season, Ben gets hit by a pitch and it really shakes him up. In the meantime, Justin, an-other player on Ben’s team is act-ing really weirdly. Ben has known him for a while, but he’s not one of Ben’s closest “boys”. Justin is the team’s best hitter, but his behavior on and off the fi eld is erratic. Ben discovers that Justin’s parents are getting a divorce and he’s thinking of quitting the team. Like good teammates do, Justin helps Ben deal with his issues at bat, while Ben is there for his friend when his family is struggling. Read-ers will be able to explore the reality of binding friendships along with solving a problem in a game they love.

Teens

“Divergent” by Veronica Roth

When this first came out,

I had just finished ‘Hunger Games’ and felt this was too similar. Fortunately I decided to try it again and found that I liked it even more than ‘Hun-ger Games.’ This first book of the series is the story of a dystopian world transformed by courage, self-sacrifi ce, and love. Beatrice Prior’s society is divided into fi ve factions: Can-dor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfl ess), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). Beatrice must choose between staying with her Abnegation family and transferring fac-tions. Her choice surprises her community and herself, but she has a secret, that she has deter-mined to keep hidden, because in this world, what makes you different makes you dangerous. I liked the fact that this wasn’t just a story. The reader would have to relate the story to them-selves, asking, “Which faction would I belong to?”

“Son” by Lois Lowry In this second dystopian

novel, they called her Water Claire. When she washed up on their shore, no one knew that she came from a society where emotions and colors didn’t exist. She had become a Vessel at age thirteen and had a Product at age fourteen who had been stolen from her body. Claire had a son, but what became of him, she never knew. What was his name? Was he even alive? She was supposed to forget him but that was impossible. Now Claire will stop at nothing to fi nd her child, even if it means making an incredible sacrifi ce. In this series fi nale, the conclusion to the Giver Quartet comes to a fi nal clash between good and evil. I couldn’t put this one down. I think dystopian liter-ature works for teens because

this is how they see life around them. They are just getting ready to participate in the world and it’s scary. They don’t necessarily like what they see. They are at the point of fi guring “Where do I fit in? and “How can I change this?”

“The Fault in Our Stars” by John Green

D e s p i t e t h e t u -mor-shrinking medical mira-cle that bought her a few more years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal. Her fi -nal chapter was written with her diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Wa-ters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel’s story is about to be rewritten. Insightful, bold, and irreverent, The Fault in our Stars brilliantly explores the funny, thrilling, and tragic business of being in love. I finished this book understanding that there is more to people than their dis-ease. After reading two of Mr. Green’s previous efforts,“An Abundance of Katherines” and “Looking for Alaska,” because I liked the covers, this time he got it right.

Other events for athletes include a meet and greet with Chris “Macca” McCormack, and a presentation from Mark Allen titled, “Prepare to Race.”

Professionals from Personal Best Nutrition will be on site to guide the athletes through a healthy triathlon. Athletes are

encouraged to stick to their normal pre-race routine and stay hydrated.

The participants in Challenge Atlantic City will have an op-portunity to race on a world class level, donate to a good cause, as well as spend a week-end with family and friends on the Atlantic City beaches and Boardwalk.

There will be three main char-ities supported by Challenge Atlantic City. The Endeleo Project’s Founder supports progress for vulnerable popu-lations by increasing the access to education.

July 4, 2014 marks the 238th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Fireworks will illuminate the night sky, the rich smell of barbecue will be in the air, and the country will be awash in red, white and blue splendor. Chanc-es are the swelling melody of “The Star Spangled Banner” will be broadcast over the radio and on various fi rework display telecasts.

The national anthem is syn-onymous with the United States America, and its notes very well may be the patriotic glue that binds the country together. Although the lyrics and music of the song are widely known, many may be unfamiliar with the rich history behind the be-loved tune.

A poem is bornAmerica began its fi ght for

independence from Great Brit-ain in 1775, and the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776 to identify the 13 colonies that succeeded in winning their independence from Britain. However, the battles with Brit-ain stretched on. Fights over territories kept disputes between the British Empire and the new-ly formed United States raging on, and it was during one such fi ght, and not during the Rev-olutionary War as some may think, that “The Star Spangled Banner” was written.

The War of 1812 was de-clared by the United States to set right some of the issues that were not resolved after the Revolutionary War. Francis Scott Key was an American

lawyer at the time of this war, negotiating for the release of an American hostage being held by the British. Although Key won the hostage’s release,he was not able to leave the British fl eet where the nego-tiations took place until the British completed their attack on Baltimore. Key witnessed the British fiery bombs on Ft. McHenry at Chesapeake Bay. Just before dawn on the morning of September 14, 1814, Key was said to have noticed a huge American fl ag still waving above Ft. McHen-ry in defi ance to the British attack. This imagery helped inspire the words of a poem that eventually would become the national anthem.

Key penned the poem on the back of a letter he held in his

pocket. After the battle was over and Key was released, he completed the poem at the Indian Queen Hotel, where he was staying. The poem was titled, “Defense of Fort M’Henry.” The poem was put to music to fi t the popu-lar melody “The Anacreonic Song” by English composer John Stafford Smith. Key’s brother-in-law, Judge Joseph H. Nicholson, anonymously made the first printing of the lyrics to the melody, and the song was printed in two newspapers. The song quickly became popular, and soon after, Thomas Carr of the Carr Music Store in Baltimore, Maryland published the words and mu-sic under a new title, “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

“The Star-Spangled Ban-

ner” takes off“The Star-Spangled Banner”

became one of the nation’s most beloved patriotic songs in the 19th century. According to Smithsonian, the song gained special signifi cance during the Civil War, a time when many Americans turned to music to express their feelings for the fl ag and the ideals and values it represented. The military used the song for ceremonial purposes, requiring it be played at the raising and lowering of the colors. But many versions of the song were used during these ceremonies and celebrations.

By the 20th century, Presi-dent Woodrow Wilson wanted to establish a standard version, so he tasked the United States Bureau of Education to provide an offi cial version. In response,

the Bureau of Education enlisted the help of fi ve musicians, in-cluding Walter Damrosch, Will Earhart, Arnold J. Gantvoort, Oscar Sonneck and John Philip Sousa, to agree on an arrange-ment. This new standardized version was fi rst played on De-cember 5, 1917, at Carnegie Hall.

It wasn’t until March 3, 1931, that “The Star-Spangled Ban-ner” became the offi cial national anthem of the United States when President Herbert Hoover signed this designation into law.

This Fourth of July, people may be struck by the magnif-icence of the fi reworks or the enjoyment of the parades. But as the music swells, they also can think about the signifi cance of the events that inspired the cre-ation of the country’s national anthem.

By DANIEL J. DOUGLAS

With the primary for the United States Senate over, we now know the Democrats are represented by incumbent United States Senator Cory Booker and the Republicans by challenger Jeffrey Bell.

Unfortunately, neither are from southern New Jersey, with Booker from Newark and Bell from Leonia, Bergen County.

Bell announced his candidacy shortly after arriving in Leonia from northern Virginia, where his wife still resides. Bell has some history in New Jersey, having run for the United States Senate in 1978 and 1982, but has lived in Virginia for the last 21 years.

Now Bell can claim he is from the South, but he is not from South Jersey, nor is Book-er who was most recently Mayor of Newark in Essex County.

We are Eagles, Phillies, Flyers and even Sixers fans. People who visit our shore are “shoobies” and not “bennies.” Booker and Bell need to visit us on our shore.

These northern candidates need to emulate former U.S. Sen. Bill Bradley’s annual walk along the Jersey Shore. For 17 years Brad-ley, also from North Jersey by way of the New York Knicks, Princeton and Missouri, walked most of the length of the Jersey Shore as a casual way to meet New Jerseyans and visitors (shoobies and bennies alike).

The irony here is that Bradley beat Bell in 1978 for the Senate seat.

These walks were some combination of campaigning and constituent service. Brad-ley let people know he cared about them

and their concerns and that you could wear a bathing suit, and not a pinstripe suit, to be an effective United States Senator from New Jersey.

It is quite easy. If you are walking from Sandy Hook to Cape May, the Atlantic Ocean is always going to be on your left. There is the issue of bays and inlets along the way as the beach is not one uninterrupted line of dunes and lapping waves. But since many politicians think they can walk on water, we are sure each of them will come up with a solution.

Sandy beaches have more meaning than they once did. Sandy beaches also carry the weight of those beaches and communities affected by Superstorm Sandy. The candi-dates can see firsthand the various stages of recovery along the shore. Some have rebuilt their houses and their lives and are moving on. Others are struggling and making progress and others are just plain struggling. Even when the recovery seemed relatively easy, it was still hard.

From hotdogs to hotel rooms, from ice cream to cool entertainment, the candidates can see, firsthand, what the approximately $19 billion shore tourism industry looks like up close.

We may be biased down here, but Booker and Bell will find that both the sand and the people are finer.

Daniel J. Douglas is the director of the William J. Hughes Center for Public Policy at The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey.

Surely Booker and Bell have time for the beach

The ensemble cast of last year’s surprising smash hit “Think Like a Man” returns in this sequel,

which has the characters venturing to the Las Vegas strip to celebrate the wedding of Candace (Regina Hall) and Michael (Terrence J).

The night before the big event, the men and women split up for their re-spective bachelor-bachelorette parties, and run through a series of clichéd relationship issues with no story or direction to speak of.

While the cast is game and likable, they can’t salvage scenes where they aimlessly wander around Vegas, looking for something interesting to do. Unfortunately, the whole film stinks of laziness, from the same aerial stock footage that shows up in every Vegas comedy, to the obligatory cameo from a rapper to the whole bachelor-par-ty-gone-wrong storyline.

If the fi rst fi lm was merely a boring and uninspired collection of rom-com tropes, this one is simply obnoxious. Part of what made the original more watchable was the ensemble cast, led by the charismatic and energetic Kevin Hart, a performer who is entertaining in small doses. Here, Hart is let loose, given absolute free rein to riff as he pleases, and it becomes tedious fast.

But just the mildest amounts of ad-libbing in the fi lm are a relief, compared to the less-than-hilarious comedic set pieces. And with Hart leading the charge in almost every scene, it’s not all that surprising when so many of these riffs fall fl at.

With the level of raunchy R-rated comedies out there, the group’s crazy antics, including accidently ingesting too much marijuana and other such hijinks, seem unbelievably tame in comparison.

Even audiences that were attracted to the relation-ship humor, romantic moments and overall relatable premise of the original will be turned off by this sequel, which offers so much less in the way of entertainment.

PG13, 1 hr. 50 min. Comedy

Seasons. And while the fi lm’s musical moments shine, the movie fails to capture the passion of the stage production. In all honesty, it’s a bit of a bore.

This is not for lack of trying. The problem lies mainly with director Clint Eastwood’s stilted, gloomy take on the story. Of course it’s well done – Eastwood is a capable and often inspired director – but it follows the beats of the musical biopic so closely and without risk, there is never a sweeping musical moment that isn’t directly followed by a tedious one. It’s a straight stage-to-screen take, over-polished and lacking in liveliness.

All that aside, the performances are truly fun to see. Frankie Valli is well-played by actor John Lloyd Young, who is able to both capture the voice of the legendary singer and deliver the dramatic goods.

And the story itself, of a natural talent who over-comes his mob background to become an iconic entertainer, is by and large an interesting one. It’s

R, 2 hr. 14 min. Musical

22 Jump Street

How to Train Your Dragon 2 “Dragon 2” does what a sequel should do:

It moves the characters in a new direction and reveals their growth as people. This fi lm is just as endearing as the fi rst movie, but much darker and more mature.

It’s set fi ve years after the events of the orig-inal, with dragons and humans now coexisting peacefully. Hiccup (Jay Baruchell) is now a young man, seeking new lands and venturing outside his comfortable world. He discovers an evil warlord who’s been trapping dragons and building up an army for an upcoming war. More importantly, he discovers his long-lost mother.

The fi lm is a visual delight, with scenes of soaring monsters and epic landscapes set against a backdrop of truly deep characterization and themes of loss, love and family. Despite this, it is still a children’s movie, and the fi lmmakers maintain a sense of levity throughout. “Dragon 2” is a surprisingly deep, fun adventure that is as visually stunning as it is emotionally rich.

PG, 1 hr. 45 min. Action, animation

Undercover cops Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum head to col-lege in ‘22 Jump Street.’ Ice Cube returns as their captain.

“22 Jump Street” is a sequel about the frivo-lous nature of sequels.

Part of the fun of the fi rst “Jump Street” was how it pointed out that Hollywood is out of ideas, and willing to adapt almost any property, regardless of its popularity or worth. Here, that tone overtakes the fi lm. Somehow, the fi lmmak-ers found a way to make a movie that, though technically a generic retread of the fi rst fi lm, is still fresh and diverting.

Offi cers Schmidt and Jenko (Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum) were so successful in their previous mission, going undercover as high school students, that their department gets a huge budget increase. The cops are moved into fancy headquarters just across the street, and get huge amounts of money to blow on fancy equipment.

The two go undercover as teens to investigate

The Fault in Our Stars “The Fault in Our Stars” is a heartbreaker of

a movie, the touching love story of two witty teenagers who meet at a cancer support group. It’s a rare type of fi lm: wise, funny and with just the right amount of sap. It stays true to its source material – John Green’s acclaimed 2012 bestseller – without ever feeling exploitative. The fi lm accomplishes this by treating its char-acters as real human beings rather than symbols.

Shailene Woodley stars as Hazel, a 16-year-old whose cancer has left her nearly unable to breathe without a portable oxygen tank. Unwillingly, she joins a cancer support group where she meets Gus (Ansel Elgort), a cancer survivor who lost his leg to the disease.

Despite her best efforts to not get close to anyone, the two strike up a friendship that leads in the direction of love. And as expected, in a story about two lovers with a potentially deadly disease, you know it will end tragically, with the audience in full-blown tears. Most importantly though, it’s a well-told story with rich and en-gaging characters.

PG-13, 2 hr. 5 min. Drama

a new synthetic drug that’s taking over the local college campus. Director-writers Chris Miller and Phil Lord use the opportunity to poke fun at campus life and constantly remind viewers that these two clearly look way too old to be freshmen. Beneath the satire, “22 Jump Street” is still a buddy movie, just like its predecessor. The two leads slide back into their roles with an effortlessly fun chemistry. It’s enjoyable as ever to watch them bounce off each other.

The movie occasionally feels a little cheap, and it’s impossible to get over the fact that it is essentially the same structure as the fi rst fi lm with a different setting and a few new elements. Really, the movie’s biggest strength is also its biggest shortcoming. Nevertheless, it’s still a strong comedy that in more ways than one improves upon the fi rst.

W ith a blue so deep they are almost black, Jersey Fresh blueberries, the official state fruit, are now in

season and available at local supermarkets, farmers markets, roadside stands and pick-your-own farms.

The blueberry season here starts about June 20 and runs through Aug. 15, with most of the crop ripening from July 5-Aug. 10, depending on the weather. The cherry season is tailing off, but not far behind are Jersey raspberries, which ripen in early July and run through Aug. 1. Both make a nice complement to their sweet blue cousin, so now is the time to blend these beauties.

According to the National Agriculture Statistics Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 54 million pounds of blueber-ries were produced last year on 7,500 acres with a value of $80.8 million. New Jersey ranks fifth in the nation in blueberry pro-duction. Most of New Jersey’s berries are harvested in Atlantic County and Burling-ton County, which account for 97 percent of the blueberry acres harvested in 2012.

The major varieties of blueberries grown in New Jersey include Blue Crop and Duke, named for one of the founders of Atlantic Blueberry Company in Hammonton.

New Jersey is also a major exporter of blueberries to Canada.

There are many reports touting to the health benefits of blueberries. U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture researchers rank them first in antioxidant activity in comparison to 40 other fresh fruits and vegetables. Antiox-idants help neutralize harmful byproducts of metabolism called free radicals that are associated with cancer and age-related diseases.

Blueberries also account for a large part of New Jersey’s agritourism industry, with pick-your-own farms in nine counties throughout the state. To find a pick-your-own blueberry farm or markets carrying Jer-sey Fresh blueberries see www.jerseyfresh.nj.gov or www.visitnjfarms.org.

In selecting blueberries, look for berries that are plump and fresh looking, paying particular attention to color. Berries should be deep blue, black, bluish-black or purple. Avoid containers that have juice stains on them; it is a sign that the berries may have been crushed.

Blueberries have a waxy gray deposit on their skin called bloom that is a protective coating, so avoid washing until ready to use.

Blueberries spoil quickly if left at room temperature, so they are best stored in the refrigerator. To freeze, place blueberries on a cookie sheet, freeze and then place in a plastic freezer storage bag.

Wrinkled fruit means they have been stored too long; while soft, watery fruit means the berries are overripe.

NORTHFIED—As the Fourth of July approaches the Northfield Cultural Committee bestowed annual honors on some of Northfield’s VIPs at the June 24 City Council meeting.

Three members of the city’s fire department have been honored by the Cultural Committee as Northfield’s Citizens of the Year. Volunteer Deputy Fire Chiefs Edward Hackett and Robert Leeds and Volunteer Fire Chief Henry Martinelli.

Carol Patrick, the committee chair-woman, praised all three of the fire-fighters for what they do for the city, highlighting the effort put in to help residents during Hurricane Sandy, this winter’s snowstorms, educational programs in the schools teaching chil-

dren about fire safety and the annual Santa Claus event along with fire and rescue. The firefighting trio has 136 years experience between them.

They will have a place of honor in the Fourth of July parade.

Miss Northfield 2014 is Annie Good-man, a newly-graduated member of the Northfield Community School Class of 2014. The daughter of Liz and Dave Goodman, she does volunteer work and coordinates huge bake sales at Cardinal Football games that have benefitted children’s charities.

The final VIP of the evening named was also the youngest; Alexander Dionisio, the first Northfield baby of the year; born January, 9, 2014. Alex-ander is the son of Angela and Bryan Dionisio. The family recently moved back to the city and live on Cove Ave.; the same street where Bryan grew up.

In honor of Independence Day, let’s hear it for the good old USA and the music that conveys our love for our country.

Here are our editorial staff’s favorite patriotic songs – the words and music that stir us to the soul and fi ll us with American pride. Read the stories, watch the video clips, and celebrate American free-dom with a song in your heart.

“This Land Is Your Land”This is Woody Guthrie’s love song to the USA

– from sea to shining sea, from rolling dust clouds to “diamond deserts.” The lyrics are just about perfect: plain, simple, transcendent, with the ringing refrain: “This land was made for you and me.”

As I went walking that ribbon of highwayI saw above me, an endless skyway

I saw below me, the golden valleyThis land was made for you and me.Many listeners have never heard the whole song,

written in 1940, with its references to the relief office and signs that keep people off the land. But that’s Guth-rie, brother! I can just see him, the ultimate American troubadour, tramping all over the map, guitar slung across his back, whistling or humming or singing this great anthem.

The song describes an America that must always struggle to live up to her stated principles – a country that sometimes falls short, but is hopefully bound for glory. Here’s a video of Pete Seeger and Bruce Springsteen, the natural heirs to Guthrie, singing this classic. The backdrop is perfect: the Washington Monument.

– Marjorie Preston

“God Bless America”I picked “God bless America” by Irving Berlin

because of the personal nature of the song. The lyrics say America is the land that I love, that it’s my home sweet home.

Berlin, as a Russian Jewish immigrant to the United States, was grateful to the country that took him in. He had written the song in 1918, but didn’t rework and release it until 1938 as the Nazi Party was rising in Germany and the world was preparing for a dark time in history.

The song became popular when a young Kate Smith sang it on an Armistice Day celebration radio show.

She made it famous again for local sports fans when she belted out the tune live before Game 6 of

the Stanley Cup playoffs in 1974. The Philadelphia Flyers won the Cup that night. The song personifi ed the character of the city where liberty was birthed and toughness is a virtue. It’s a song that every American can sing with pride.

God bless America,Land that I love,S tand bes ide he r , and gu ide he r

Through the night with a light from above.From the mountains, to the prairies,

T o t h e o c e a n s , w h i t e w i t h f o a mGod bless America, My home sweet homeGod bless America, My home sweet home.

- Carl Price

“Abraham, Martin and John”It was 1968, and America was still reeling from

the back-to-back assassinations of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy just two months apart – and only fi ve years after President John F. Kennedy had been shot. Add to that the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, and you had four charismatic leaders – all advocates for racial equality and social change, all gunned down. Like the song says, we just looked around … and they were gone.

Songwriter Richard Holler’s dreamy, melodic ode captured the mood of a wounded America, grieving for our lost heroes and all the good who die young. I can’t hear it without being taken back to that turbulent time, and yet between the pained lines there is hope, and the belief that Ameri-ca would fi nd its way back on the path toward freedom for every man, woman and child.

Didn’t you love the things that they stood for?Didn’t they try to fi nd some good for you and me?

And we’ll be freeSome day soon – it’s gonna be one day.The song was fi rst sung by the rocker Dion and

since then has been covered by dozens of artists from Andy Williams to Bob Dylan to Whitney Houston. Dion’s is my favorite, but stand-up comedian Jackie “Moms” Mabley recorded an emotional rendition in 1969 at the age of 75. After listening to Dion, check out her performance on “The Merv Griffi n Show.”

– Joan Kostiuk

“The Stars and Stripes Forever” I never had a favorite patriotic song until I heard

the Boston Pops play this one during a concert at

Tanglewood in the Berkshire Mountains of Massa-chusetts. It was listed in the program as “The Stars and Strips Forever,” and I wondered as I watched and listened if I was going to see the fat tuba player strip down and perform the song naked.

It was a misprint, of course. “The Stars and Stripes Forever” was written by John Philip Sousa, who had led his musicians in Cape May many years earlier. Since my introduction to the song I have seen the title misspelled several times in the media, whether by design or error.

I liked the music, especially the part where the fl utist comes forward and plays a solo and where everybody in the audience stands up and cheers and waves American fl ags. I did it too, not only because I enjoyed the music but also because I was tired of sitting so long in my starched underwear.

And yes, the tuba player and all of the other mu-sicians were always fully clothed.

– Jacob Schaad Jr.

“The Star Spangled Banner”It was the height of the ’60s. I was 14 years old,

and yet I can still hear the plaintive wail of Jimi Hendrix’s guitar as he worked his way through those impossible chords. The tune still gives me chills.

– Dave Benson

“You’re a Grand Old Flag”I doubt George M. Cohan, the composer of

“You’re a Grand Old Flag,” wrote this piece for the preschoolers who are typically heard singing it today at school assemblies. But the simplicity of the lyrics and the tune make it a natural choice for teaching the youngest Americans about patriotism.

You’re the emblem ofThe land I love,The home of the free and the brave.

Pretty straightforward and uplifting words that anyone can grab hold of. The toe-tapping beat is also catchy. I remember loving to sing this song as a kid, and loving my country as a result.

– Laura Stetser

“Battle Hymn of the Republic”I will never forget covering the 2012 Miss

America competition in Las Vegas when Miss New Jersey Lindsey Petrosh of Egg Harbor City, my hometown, sang a shortened version of “Battle Hymn of the Republic” during the talent compe-tition. Although she didn’t wear the big red ball

gown that she wanted to wear, Petrosh commanded the stage in a beautiful red chiffon dress as her big voice echoed throughout the showroom at Planet Hollywood. I had goosies, and still get them when-ever I listen to this video clip.

– Nanette Galloway

“Born in the USA”I’m not a huge fan of most patriotic songs. But I am

a fan of songs about New Jersey, because I happen to love it here, despite the Garden State’s shortcomings. Not surprisingly, that means I love Bruce Springsteen, like almost everyone else who drives a car with that ugly yellow license plate.“Born in the USA” is a widely misunderstood anthem that is, in my opinion, one of the most American songs ever recorded. The lyrics are about Vietnam veterans and their experience after the war, set to a powerful rock beat that is now a classic. What is most American about the song isn’t the repetitive chant of “Born in the USA,” but rather the authentic story about the chase for the American Dream, which is central to so many of Springsteen’s songs. He never sugarcoats that it is a chase – not a guarantee. Like The Boss said in a 1984 Rolling Stone inter-view, “I think people got a need to feel good about the country they live in.” His honesty does it for me.

– Christie Rotondo

“The Liberty Song”Coined by John Dickinson in 1768 and updated

in 1770, “The Liberty Song” captured the heartfelt spirit of independence that spread thoughout the American Colonies in the years before the Revo-lutionary War.

Come, join hand in hand, brave Americans all,And rouse your bold hearts at fair Liberty’s call;No tyrannous acts shall suppress your just claim,Or stain with dishonor America’s name.

“The Liberty Song” is famous for being the fi rst song to include the phrase, “United we stand, divided we fall.”

Listen to the words and you can imagine our pa-triots braving the darkness of night to drop tea into the Boston Harbor, or Colonial soldiers meeting the British Redcoats face to face on Lexington Green.

The chorus’s fi rst line says it all: “In freedom we’re born and in freedom we’ll live.”

Hear the song and feel the passion:– R.J. Liberatore

4people poll>WITH LAUREN DICKEY

Q: What is your favorite Fourth of July tradition?

Fireworks, bonfi res and picnics. Fireworks because they don’t happen on every holiday.

– Ashley Foltz, 17, PhiladelphiaBarbecuing with the family.

– José Melendez, Bronx, N.Y.

Our family always gathers around food, music and jeeping.

– Sonya Baham, Bergen County

Every year since he was born we go in front of the Revel Casino and watch the fi reworks.

– Nicole Covey and 1-year-old Jaydel Vazez, Atlantic City

Watching fi reworks, because it’s different. It is an upbeat celebration, not something we do all the time.

– Bernadine Oliver, Auburn, N.Y.

Barbecue because July Fourth – it’s a holiday. Steak, hamburgers and hot dogs.

– Jim Morley, Jersey CityFireworks, because they keep the kids quiet.

– Yadira Falevo, Pleasantville

Fireworks, because they are colorful.– Anna Zimerofsky, 8, Pottsville, Pa.

I like the fi reworks. I like going to Baltimore Harbor with the crowds to see the fi reworks.

– Jackie Russel, Baltimore

Going to the golf course and watching the fi reworks from all over the island.

– Dale Portony, Northfi eld

It used to be we’d come down to Ocean City for the fi reworks, the beach with the family. Enjoying it with the family.

– Al Fonash, South Hampton, Pa.

Getting the family together – barbecuing, fi reworks, the joy of the children.

– Gloria Brown, Petersburg

When we all get together in the backyard, bar-becuing – and in the end we light up the fi reworks.

– Liz Diaz, San Juan, Puerto Rico

Barbecue – it’s always been a tradition.– Dave Mills and grandchildren Jessica, 6,

and Dylan, 2, Haddon Heights

To be with family, have a barbecue and have lots of fun.

– Phyllis Whinna, Egg Harbor Township

Fireworks are awesome. You watch things explode, and the fi nale is always the best.

– Justin Hedelt, Somers Point
