10 The College of New Jersey Magazine P R A I R I E B R A G B O A R D 10 things that make us smile... A good sign The main entrance to campus got a face-lift last fall. With funding from the Campus Town developer PRC Group, visitors who enter on Pennington Road are now welcomed by LED signage set in brick and surrounded by fencing and landscaping. The new gateway "matches the quality and character of the rest of our campus," says President Gitenstein. New today at TCNJ > 1 Split-second rescues Lifesaver Hailed as a hero, Julio brought a beachgoer back from cardiac arrest. Jeremy Julio '05, the manager at Monmouth Beach (New Jersey) Bathing Pavilion, saved a 64-year-old man who went into cardiac arrest last summer. The man fell at the water's edge; he had no pulse, and his wife had come screaming for help. Fast-acting Julio used CPR and a defibrillator to revive him. "He started moving around a little bit," Julio told CBS New York. "His eyes started opening, he started breathing again." A physical education teacher at Long Branch (New Jersey) High School (and former Lions football captain), Julio is never far from the water. "I've been on the beach 21 years," he told nj.com. "And I never had to deal with an actual cardiac arrest." Veterinarian Kristine Demers '09 made a canine save last fall when Zoey, a 3-month-old yellow Labrador, was rushed to Bulger Veterinary Hospital in North Andover, Massachusetts. When Demers heard Zoey collapsed after chewing a discarded ciga- rette box she found on the ground, she quickly assessed that opioids could be the cause. Demers gave the pup a shot of naloxone, an overdose reversal drug, and saved Zoey's life. ZOEY COURTESY WBZ-TV, BOSTON Freak accident A Lab puppy owes her life to Demers.
