U.S. HEROES IN FRENCH TRAIN ATTACK: WE ACTED ON INSTINCT PAGE 1B

Baby born in car after

mom stuck in traffic
AMANDA OGLESBY @OGLESBYAPP
SEA BRIGHT Trevor Abbud and his pregnant wife,
Rose, were trapped in beach traffic when daughter Bella Rose was born inside their car along the side of Route
36.
After Roses water broke at 6:20 p.m. Saturday, the
Middletown couple was heading to the hospital when
her contractions became overpowering.
I have to push, 23-year-old Trevor Abbud recalled
his wife saying.
You cant push! he responded. Rose, calm down.

No, Im having the baby, she told him.

Thats when I called 911, he said.
Abbud pulled to the side of Route 36, blared his car
horn and called 911 as the first stages of the delivery
happened before him.
My wife was screaming, he said. I saw the top of
the baby. ... I thought she was dead.
Two women at the Sands Beach Club trauma nurse
Sarah Wood and Rumson First Aid Squad EMT Lauren
Kammerer heard the screams and ran over to help.

Amusements roots trace to Shore,

years before premiere at Worlds Fair
JERRY CARINO CARINOS CORNER

Of all the rides, the Ferris wheel is my kids favorite. Nothing else on the boardwalk comes close. e At ages 5 and 3,
they regard this summertime staple with giddy awe. They
might as well be going up to the moon. e A few weeks ago,
as they boarded one of the two Ferris wheels in Ocean City,
the questions popped into my head: How did this amusement come
about? Who invented it, and where? e Turns out, the Ferris wheel has a
fascinating back story. If you dig beyond the popularized version
that George Ferris created the modern wheel for the Chicago Worlds
Fair of 1893 its real roots trace to the Jersey Shore, a local carpenter
and a bitter lawsuit.

But were running up the score with even more.
When it comes to showing team spirit, no one does it
quite like the Shore Conference, so were taking our
show on the road and bringing it to the great fans,
cheerleaders and bands that are huddled up along the
Jersey Shore. Were inviting the home teams for each
of our Games of the Week to bring that raucous atmosphere to each taping.
