Superstorm Sandy's impact on New Jersey On Saturday, I had the opportunity, along with family and friends, to visit their shore homes in Ortley Beach, which is part of Toms River Township.

Block after block has piles of homeowners' belongings placed on the curb while others are scheduled for mandatory demolition.

People were confusing it with Dover in Morris County and one in Pennsylvania, says [Lucy Greene]. Also, the population for the village of Toms River is about 7,000 while the number of people in the Township of Toms River is around 95,000, she says. "The effect is that more businesses will be attracted to Toms River. The chamber schedules the shows before and after the summer-which unofficially starts with Memorial Day weekend and ends with Labor Day-to "extend the tourist season," says Tracy DuFault, executive director of the Greater Wildwood Chamber of Commerce.

TOMS RIVER, N.J. - One storm-battered New Jersey county was delivering ballots to emergency shelters Monday while New York City was lining up shuttle buses to ferry people in hard-hit coastal areas to the polls. With the presidential election looming just a week after superstorm Sandy's devastation, authorities were scrambling to make voting as manageable as possible while election watchers warned any shortcuts could compromise the integrity of the balloting.
