The front page of the Asbury Park Press on Thursday, April 20, 1995, features the aftermath of the worst act of domestic terrorism in American history, the Oklahoma City bombing. First responders continue to search for the 168 missing people who were later confirmed dead, including 19 children. Meanwhile, back at the Shore, protesters gather outside a Red Bank theater to object to the British film “Priest,” which they claim portrays all priests as morally corrupt.
The film, released by Miramax, depicts a group of Liverpool priests with questionable behavior, causing outrage among the protesters. The demonstration, which remained peaceful, featured signs with slogans denouncing the movie and its portrayal of Catholic priests. Despite the protest, the screening of “Priest” at the theater went ahead without incident, with heightened security measures in place due to threats received at other theaters in the state.
In other news, residents of New Jersey now have access to a new database provided by the Department of Labor, allowing them to search for local restaurants, hairdressers, and other businesses in the area. With over 1,500 eateries and 512 hairdressers and barbers in Monmouth and Ocean counties alone, residents can easily find the services they need. This database, available on diskettes or through modems, provides a comprehensive list of employers in the state, making it easier for users to locate businesses in their area.
