Beachgoers, vacationers and Shore locals should

prepare for major flooding, tropical-storm-force
winds and several inches of rain as Hermine makes
its way to the coast.
Local officials especially from coastal towns
started preparing for the storm Thursday and Friday,
and have been urging residents to be ready. Coastal
New Jersey counties have been under a tropical
storm warning since late Friday, according to the National Weather Service in Mount Holly. Included in
the warning are Monmouth, Ocean, eastern Burlington, Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland, and Salem
counties.
The tropical storm, which was briefly a hurricane
as it approached Florida from the Gulf of Mexico on
Thursday, could re-gain some strength when it moves
off the coast of North Carolina on Saturday night, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami.
The coast is in for a pounding, New Jersey state
climatologist David Robinson said. Its going to be a
Seaside Heights lifeguard Rebecah Hatrak put out a red flag
as Paul Bukheit wipes blowing sand from his eye Friday.

sentence, Erica Kotelnickis attorney thanked the officers on her behalf for arresting her on heroin
charges.
Their action, he said, very likely saved the life of
the former juvenile detention officer.
Shes not angry, shes not bitter, said Ian Goldman, Kotelnickis attorney. This was truly a blessing
in disguise.

Clinton told FBI she could not

recall any briefing on

Judge Wendel E. Daniels sentenced Kotelnicki to

at least 60 days in jail on Friday, after she pleaded
guilty to possession of heroin with intent to distribute. Her full sentence is 180 days in jail and two years
of probation. Goldman explained that she was applying to the states Day Reporting Program, which allows inmates to live on their own for most of the week
and do work details on weekends.
That may play havoc with her new job. The 35See SENTENCE, Page 9A
