‘I can do that too,’” she said. “I had talked to the people who had created a similar Facebook page from Florida and I asked if I could copy some of their ideas they were doing and they were totally ok with it. After speaking with them, I decided to go forward and make the Facebook page.”

Carrissa has lived in the Ocean County area for most of her life, however when she recently moved to South Carolina, she knew she wanted to continue the page.

Since its creation, the Facebook page has garnered 35,650 followers and counting.

Jersey Shore Shells encourages those to decorate shells and write a message on the underside with the label “Keep or Re-hide.”

Those who have found shells often share their fi ndings to the page, or those painting shells do the same. Carrissa has listed tips and tricks on the page to help those who are interested. She emphasizes to never hide shells in the ocean. If you are going to hide shells in a store, get permission fi rst. And remember, anyone can paint and hide shells.

The Toms River Regional Board of Education has a total of nine members. Six are from Toms River. There is one member for each of the three towns that send students: Beachwood, Pine Beach, South Toms River. This year, there are three Toms River spots on the ballot.

This is going to be a busy election year in town. Not only are there three Board of Education spots on the ballot, but there is also the mayor’s seat and three members of the Township Council.

The Republican slate is led by Councilman Dan Rodrick for mayor. The council candi- something nice for somebody else and those acts of kindness will snowball bigger and bigger. I want to spread that positivity,” she explained.

Her local initiative has now transformed to a worldwide affair. The idea of painting and hiding shells has gone beyond shore towns in New Jersey; it’s expanded throughout the entire state, country, and even internationally.

Pam Gregory, a New Jersey local, said she started painting shells after her and her daughter Sarah found one in Smithville. “We collect our shells at the Barnegat inlet. We have painted and hidden 11 shells, four have been found. My first was an ‘adopt don’t shop’ paw print and has changed hands three times now in New Jersey,” Pam said. One of their shells, which was decorated to represent the Pine Barrens, made its way to White Water State Park in Minnesota. The shell was then shared to the Facebook group and gained over 7,000 likes.

“I left it at Arney’s Mount in Pemberton, NJ. It was found by a lovely woman named Laurie and taken to Minnesota where she re-hid it. Another lovely girl named Hannah found it and her post took off ! It is being shared by many sites as well as people,” Pam said. “This group is great to communicate with other people. It’s a great hobby, and makes people smile.” dates are Tom Nivison, owner of Silverton Farms, Lynn O’Toole, president of adult community Holiday City Silverton Phase II, and longtime educator Craig Coleman, former principal of Ocean County Vocational-Technical School.

The Regular Democratic Organization of Ocean County is running former Township Committeeman John Furey for mayor, with Michelle Williams and Rhetta Jackson-Fair, a pastor at True Vine Ministries in Bayville, for council. A third council candidate, Kajal Lal, had won the council spot in the primary, but she has stepped down from the running after taking a federal job.

According to county information, September 14 is the deadline to replace a primary nominee for the general election.
