Chris Christie says he wants to bring casino gambling to North Jersey, a project that could provide a lifeline for Monmouth Park — even if the land- mark Oceanport racetrack isn’t selected to add blackjack tables and slot machines to its win-place-show bets. Hard Rock International says it will roll out plans for a casino at the Meadowlands next week, with projections of $500 million in tax revenue for New Jersey, and ven- ture capitalist Paul Fireman has sketched out a $4.6 billion Jersey City casino devel- opment. Key state lawmakers say they envision a piece of the action from a new upstate casino being set aside to help sustain the struggling horse racing industry at Mon- mouth Park and nearby Freehold Raceway, as well as the Meadowlands, which has the state’s third racetrack. Could North Jersey gambling venues provide a lifeline for Monmouth Park? WIN, PLACE, CASINO BOB JORDAN @BOBJORDANAPP See BET, Page 10A For the second time in two weeks, a former Lake- wood police officer was arrested and accused of a her- oin-related charge. Matthew Moore, 32, was arrested within the past week as part of operation “Broken Rule,” a crackdown on heroin distribution by the Ocean County Prosecu- tor’s Office, according to spokesman Al Della Fave. Moore is accused of conspiracy to possess, with the in- tent to distribute, more than five ounces of heroin, ac- cording to a release from the Prosecutor’s Office. His bail was set at $75,000 with no 10 percent option. Della Fave confirmed this is the same former cop who was arrested May 17. That day, a Lakewood officer reported she found Moore preparing to ingest heroin in the parking lot of a KFC, according to Lakewood Detective Sgt. Greg Staf- fordsmith. Moore was charged with possession of her- oin and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was brought to headquarters where he was processed and Matthew Moore, 32, was arrested as part of operation “Broken Rule,” a crackdown on heroin distribution, authorities said.

The sounds: a rapid-fire symphony of clanging, cutting and shuffling of feet is punctuated by the occasional creaking of an oven door. The sights: A faded portrait of a young Mother Teresa hangs over the doorway. Welcome to the kitchen at Caputo’s Pastry Shoppe on Ocean Blvd., where I am a baker for a morning.
