Coast Guard suspends search for boat reported capsized off Brigantine

The Coast Guard suspended Saturday afternoon its search for a boat that was reported capsized Friday night off Brigantine, a spokesman said. Three to four people were feared to have been aboard, according to the report.

Helicopters, planes, and boats searched 196 square miles of the Atlantic Ocean off Brigantine and found "no clues that there was a boat that capsized," Coast Guard Chief Nick Ameen said Saturday evening. Those clues would have included floating debris.

The search was suspended about 3:30 p.m.

Ameen noted that the search was not terminated and that it could be quickly reactivated if new information came to light.

On Friday, a man walking on the beach called 911 to report that a boat had capsized and people were in the water. When police arrived, they also saw a vessel and called the Coast Guard about 9:45 p.m.

Monday is last day to register

for Pennsylvania primary

Monday is the final day to register to vote in Pennsylvania's primary.

Eligible voters must be 18, a U.S. citizen, and a state resident. Voters must be enrolled in a political party to vote in that party's primary. All registered voters can vote on ballot questions.

Residents can complete the entire registration process online at www.votes.pa.com or in person at state Department of Transportation photo license centers, various government agencies, and county registration offices. Registration applications are available at those locations and on the Web. Registration is also accepted via mail.

In 2012, the last presidential election, only 20 percent of state registered voters cast ballots in the primary. In 2008, 42.7 percent of registered voters turned out statewide. In addition to the presidential election, Pennsylvanians will vote for Senate, Congress, and statehouse representatives on primary day, April 26. - Julia Terruso
