Enjoy Afternoon Jazz With Sean Smith Trio
T
here will be an afternoon of jazz when the Sean Smith Trio performs Wednesday, June 6, at 2 p.m. at the Little Egg Harbor branch of the Ocean County Library. Smith said the concert would mostly feature original songs from their newest CD, Trust, along with some compositions that have not yet been released. “Many of the songs on the CD are about places I’ve been as a traveler,” said Smith, whose group is currently on a European tour. “One song is about Tobacco Bay, and it’s in Bermuda. Other places I’ve been to, like Japan and Turkey, might get touched upon.” The trio consists of Smith on acoustic bass, John Hart on guitar and Russell Meissner on drums. While the group has played together for 14 years, its members have performed with Peggy Lee, Rosemary Clooney, Gerry Mulligan, Benny Carter and Norah Jones among many other artists. Stylistically, Smith said the trio is strongly influenced by swing and bebop. When he was a young jazz student, his favorite artists included Duke Ellington, Antonio Carlos Jobim and Billy Strayhorn. “But often, the trio goes into other styles,” said the bassist, who also has a quartet featuring sax player John Ellis. “Maybe the best way to describe us is heavily rooted in melodic jazz and beyond. The concert will feature solos and improvisations.” A New York City resident, Smith has a bachelor’s degree from the Manhattan School of Music. Smith said that after the concert, copies of the new CD and other releases would be available for sale. For more information and to register for the concert, call the branch at 609-294-1197. —E.E.

O
n May 28, 1934, Elzire Dionne gave birth to five girls in a rural Ontario town. The Dionne Quintuplets – Annette, Cecile, Emilie, Marie and Yvonne – were the first such known quints ever to have survived infancy. On top of that, they were identical. “There are only two other instances of identical quintuplets documented,” said Rosemary Molloy, a Little Egg Harbor Township resident who will speak about “What Happened to the Babies” on Tuesday, June 5, at 3 p.m. at the Little Egg Harbor branch of the Ocean County Library. A fraternal twin, Molloy said she has had a longtime fascination with the lives of the girls and has visited their birthplace, which is now a museum. Had the girls been born today, they would have spent time in a neonatal intensive care unit before receiving medical clearance to go home. But Molloy said the quintuplets were born in a farmhouse that did not have electricity or indoor plumbing. “It is miraculous how they survived,” she said. “Without question they are a biological phenomenon. Even more fascinating is the SATURDAYS, JUNE 2 & JULY 7 Safe Boating Classes, Mill Creek Community Center, 1199 Mill Creek Rd., Manahawkin. Offered April 14, May 5, June 2 and July 7.

ment took the quintuplets away for eight years, believing the parents were unfit to raise them.” Molloy said the girls lived in a special hospital built for them by the government. The facility was later called Quintland, and they became a tourist attraction, as visitors paid an admission fee to view the girls. Quint-related souvenirs were also sold. “It seemed like it was one big freak show,” said Molloy, who is a member of the Dionne Quintuplets Collectors Club and will bring with her an extensive collection of books, photos and memorabilia. She said the definitive book on their saga is The Dionne Years: a Thirties Melodrama, written by Pierre Berton in 1977. Of the five, Annette and Cecile are still living. Emilie died in 1954 from an epileptic seizure. Marie suffered a fatal blood clot at age 35, and Yvonne died of cancer in 2001. “The two remaining sisters are very reclusive,” Molloy said. “As young girls, they bonded very well together, but they often clashed with their parents and other siblings.” For more information and to register for the program, call the branch at 609-294-1197. —E.E. tendees are invited to bring their favorite photo for display.

Barnegat Man Turns Into ‘the Equalizer’ For Wrestling Benefit
T
his is one skipper you don’t want to tangle with. Paul Bykow’s day (and sometimes night) job is running a commercial fishing boat out of Barnegat Light. But the Barnegat Township resident has an alter ego known as the Equalizer, a name he uses when he steps into the wrestling ring. He’ll be one of the featured attractions at a professional wrestling benefit Saturday, June 2, at 7:35 p.m. in the Barnegat High School gym. Sponsored by National Pro Wrestling Superstars, the event will raise money for Mariners Masonic Lodge in Barnegat and its charities. Joe Panzarino, event coordinator, said Bykow would team up with the Green Dragon in a “hard-core tag team showdown.” “In this kind of match, it’s kind of like anything goes,” he said. “They might use chairs, sticks or garbage can lids. It gets pretty wild in there.” Panzarino said the match certainly fits the Equalizer’s ring persona. “He’s a throwback to the old-time brawler,” the coordinator said. “No fancy stuff. Just straight-out, raw fighting.” Bykow said he had been wrestling on and off for 18 years, and in the beginning trained with wrestling legends Bam Bam Bigelow and Chris Candido, who now are deceased. “I go out and do it just to see the looks on the kids’ faces,” he said. “These are fun, entertaining events that kids and their families can enjoy.” Bykow, who is 6-foot 1-inch and 235 pounds, said the real fun is at the end when he is signing autographs for the youngsters. “No matter how much of a bad guy I try to be in the ring, they still like me,” he said. Panzarino said the event would also feature Leilani Kai, former World Wrestling Federation women’s champion. The organization is now known as World Wrestling Entertainment. In addition, Panzarino said the benefit would mark the first area appearance of Matt Hardy, a former WWE champion who was also affiliated with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. Tickets are $20 for ringside and $18 for bleachers. In Barnegat, they are available at Meyer’s Super Saver Liquors and Sweet Jenny’s Family Restaurant. Tickets can also be purchased at Bruno’s Meat Market in Manahawkin and the Lacey Shell station in Forked River. For more information, call Panzarino at 732-888-1704. — Eric Englund

Many Artisans Apply, Few Are Chosen For LBIF’s Summer Craft Gallery
By PAT JOHNSON he Craft Gallery installed in the windows of the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences is a way for local and national craft artists to get the attention of art lovers living on or visiting LBI. The Craft Gallery selects the best artists in a wide range of crafts for the two session exhibits. This first session, lasting until July 20, includes a baker’s dozen artists. See local glass artist Yvonne Yaar’s newest craze, lozenge shapes in glass that support silver, inlaid charms of dogs, moons, stars, etc. hanging on simple leather or satin lanyards. She also fuses glass for pendants. Catherine Howard of Barnegat Light has made jewelry her second career after retiring from Princeton University. Her blue quartz and jasper necklace with triangles is one of many stunning pieces. Mary Pearson can probably find many of her sea glass pieces by strolling the beaches of Long Beach Township, her hometown. Her sea glass rosary is particularly alluring. Antoinette Lotz of Manahawkin creates stained-glass, stand-alone sculptures that can sit in front of a window rather than be the window. Cheryl Syminink, also from Manahawkin, makes glass and mosaic tiles in uncluttered shapes such as an anchor, butterfly, lighthouse and other shore themes. Simon Keller is a ceramicist from Flemington, who prefers to mine his own Jersey clay and create bowls and stoneware jugs. In keeping in the “from the earth” theme, he incorporates bamboo branches and hemp in the designs and prefers simple glazes made from wood ash. Collette Smith from Ocean City likes the 1950s, and she glazes her nesting bowls with yellow, green and peach colors from that era. Joan Costanza from Luzern, Pa., makes candy-like, fused-glass dishes and platters. Nathan Favors from Chalfont, Pa., works in wood to make bowls inlaid with turquoise and granite. Another artist, from Tarpon Springs, Fla., also works in lathe-turned wood. Lawrence Hasiak uses burl wood for his vases and peppermills. John Rothchild Hardin hails from New York City and creates charming, wooden boxes with art tile tops. The tiles are glazed with natural themes: a rabbit, a snake, etc. A woman with earrings is a stand-alone tile. And ceramic artist Henry P. Bloomer wins the award for coming the farthest. His ceramic work was sent from Carbondale, Colo., where he is an adjunct professor and artist-in-residence in the craft-heavy Colorado Mountain College. His cups all have a distinguished hexagon shape, oversized yet easy to hold. Most of the work for sale in the Craft Gallery is surprisingly affordable, especially considering the commission to the LBIF supports its educational programs. LBIF craft gallery manager Anna Salibello has brought together a diverse group of artisans with something for all tastes. The LBIF, located on the Boulevard in Loveladies, is open daily from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The summer catalog is now available at www.lbifoundation.org, offering a full range of classes in the arts, sciences, cooking, language and writing arts. * patjohnson@thesandpaper.net

WHAT POSSESSIONS?: (From top) Tile-covered wooden boxes by John Rothchild Hardin of New York City can hold all your treasures and then some. Henry P. Bloomer’s ceramic cups and bowls have interesting angles and come in natural beach colors. He hails from Carbondale, Colo. Catherine Howard from Barnegat Light makes quartz and jasper necklaces, bracelets and earrings. These craft gallery artists and others will hold court in the LBIF window gallery through July 20, when a second group will take their place.

Corvettes to Cruise Into Beach Haven
T
hey rolled out of the factories in 1953 as America’s “true sports car.” On Sunday, June 3, don’t be surprised if you see a long line of Corvettes rambling down the main drag of Beach Haven. The iconic Chevy sports cars will be heading to Bay Village, the site of the ninth annual Corvette Show put on by the South Jersey-based Beach Bums Corvette Club. Car registration begins at 8 a.m.; the fee is $25. The show begins at 11 a.m., and trophy presentations start at 3 p.m. “But for those who want to stop by and check out the display, there is no admission charge,” said Howard Welch, event coordinator and owner of models from 1967, 1971 and 1996. “Last year, the weather was great, and we had more than 145 exhibitors. Hopefully, we have the same luck with the weather this year.” He said there would be 22 competition categories with first-, second- and third-place winners. Classes include street stock, modified and custom models. Welch said a special display will be the chassis of the 1971 model. “It will show the automobile with the body,” he said. “You’ll get a close-up view of the engine. For the first three years, they were six cylinders but have been eight since.” He said there would be specialty vendors, such as dealers in Corvette parts and detailing products. “We have a new vendor selling T-shirts and sweatshirts,” said Welch. “We don’t have any concession stands because we want people to support the restaurants and businesses in Beach Haven.” He said proceeds would aid local charities including St. Francis Community Center and St. Vincent DePaul Society as well as the Southern Regional High School scholarship fund. For more information, call Welch at 609494-7618. —E.E.

F
our years ago, Leonora Clark and Glen Collins left their high-pressure jobs as corporate salespeople to try to make a go of opening a small business selling something they love: kayaks, canoes and outdoor gear. The couple has managed to happily float that boat: West Creek Kayak and Canoe, on the corner of Route 9 and Dock Road in Eagleswood Township. Part of the joy of selling something you believe in is seeing repeat customers, and on Monday, June 4, they expect a number of NuCanoe owners to show up at their free NuCanoe demo-day to meet the owner of the NuCanoe watercraft line, Blake Young from Bellinham, Wash. Young is on a national tour visiting all his dealerships. A NuCanoe is a cross between a kayak and a canoe, explained Clark. “It’s paddled like a kayak, but it’s wider, and you can stand up in it to fish.” “It’s also self-draining with scupper holes, so you can use it in the bay,” added Collins. The NuCanoe Frontier 12 is the newest in the NuCanoe line, and the owners of West Creek Kayak and Canoe will have a number of them ready for a turn on the Westecunk Creek during the free Demo Day from 4 to 7 p.m. Parking is available at the store at 224 Main St., where it’s just a short walk to the Westecunk Creek and the demo site. Refreshments will also be supplied. Come celebrate the great outdoors. Call 609-296-3030 for more information. —P.J.

Surflight Theatre. Dunn, however, isn’t so much at a crossroads as he is back to the beginning of a long and winding road. The actor/musician was raised in Manahawkin and got the performing bug as a young boy, thanks to the opportunities provided by such local groups as the Barnegat Bay Breeze Singers and, especially, Our Gang Players, Southern Ocean County’s longest-running community theater troupe. In 1997, as an older teen who had already decided to make show business his career, Dunn appeared in Our Gang’s “Me and My Girl” at Surflight. Thus the uncanny twists in the road – Dunn is back at Surflight while Our Gang will once again be performing “Me and My Girl” later this summer at Manahawkin’s OceanFirst Theater. After graduating from Southern Regional High School, where he performed in many theatrical productions and was a member of that school’s highly-regarded vocal jazz ensemble, Dunn earned a BFA in Musical Theatre from North Carolina’s prestigious Elon College (now Elon University). He’s now made New York City his home for seven years, and has performed in such venues as Lincoln Center (with the Philharmonic), Connecticut’s Eugene O’Neill Center and North Carolina’s Flat Rock Playhouse. Dunn is a founding member of T.D.N.S. Productions, a company that has produced and performed shows as varied as a Beatles tribute titled “Here, There & Everywhere” and a show called “The Queens of Modern Country.” “QMC” was a little play on words. Sure, it featured the work

COUNTRYFIED: Ryan Dunn (second from left) with band Crossroads will appear at the Surflight for two Monday nights. of some of contemporary country’s finest female singers, but it also plays homage to the fact that Dunn lives in Astoria. The name “Crossroads” also neatly encapsulates the upcoming Surflight show in that Dunn and his band, also featuring Annalyse McCoy and Liz O’Donnell, will perform a hard-driven combination of rock and country, featuring songs by the likes of Lady Antebellum, Bonnie Raitt, Gath Brooks and Jason Aldean. “Some call it country, some say it’s rock ’n’ roll,” said Dunn. “We call it Crossroads.” It is a show especially created for the Surflight gigs. But it is a genre Dunn is familiar with because he was a founding member of a band called 2/3 Goat. “2/3 Goat is a mixture of folk
and rock; we call it ‘metrobilly,’” said Dunn. It is easy to figure out where Dunn got the country itch, what with going to school in North Carolina. But isn’t it difficult finding jobs with a metrobilly band in New York City? “No,” said Dunn. “Country music is huge everywhere, and there’s kind of a large country thing going on in New York. There are areas in Brooklyn where it is very popular. The hipsters have discovered it.” Dunn’s style of music can apparently not only play in Peoria but in Brooklyn! So why not in Beach Haven as well? Dunn had been acquainted with Surflight producing artistic director Roy Miller in New York and the two of them, along with the folks at Catch a Rising Star, decided to
give it a shot. The actor/musician is thrilled to be returning to his roots. “I feel very lucky to have lived in such a supportive community,” Dunn says of his time in Southern Ocean County, “with so many opportunities to perform, and to have met people like Sherry Schnepp (Our Gang’s cofounder and artistic director) who encouraged me to follow my dreams at such a young age. I am so happy to return to Surflight, where I caught the bug.” Tickets for the two Crossroads performances are $20, $25 and $30 and may be purchased online at surflight.org, by phone at 609-4929477, or at the box office. — Rick Mellerup rickmellerup@thesandpaper.net

Of GLBTQI in Comics, Hot Cars and Hot Chili: ‘Capes and Closets’ Program’s Intention Sea Pirate Campground Home Fall Prevention Hosts Two Fun Events
G
ay and Lesbian Pride Month is upon us as June fast approaches, and the Stafford branch of the Ocean County Library is recognizing the observance with a special event: “Capes and Closets: The Unreal History of GLBTQI Super Heroes.” For those not familiar with the lingo, GLBTQI is one of a few acronyms representing the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, questioning and intersexed population, perhaps most frequently associated with LGBT, and often tagged with an A at the end to represent “Ally.” At this event, which is open to all, Ocean County “pop culture expert” Chris Barnes intends to trace the development of GLBTQI characters in mainstream comics, including Marvel and DC Comics. What does the GLBTQI community have to do with comic books? A lot, actually. Just this week, Marvel announced that Northstar, the publisher’s first openly gay superhero, will wed his longtime boyfriend in an issue due out on June 20. Meanwhile, at rival DC Comics, a prominent character is going to be outed the day after the Marvel wedding. Though these two figures have taken important steps within the comic book world, they are far from the only characters within the realm that identify as gay, lesbian or transgender. The program, which “helps further the library’s diversity initiative,” will be held on Monday at 7 p.m. Those interested are encouraged to register ahead of time in person, online at theoceancountylibrary.org, or by calling the branch at 609-597-3381. —A.T.

T
he Center for Healthy Aging at Kimball Medical Center in Lakewood presents a SAFE (Stopping Accidental Falls in Elders) workshop and balance screening Monday, June 4, at 2 p.m. at the Stafford branch of the Ocean County Library. Guest speaker Paula Smith said the program includes a 30- to 45-minute presentation on the physical, mental and social risk factors for falls, how to make the home safer and a demonstration on how to properly get up from a fall to avoid further injury. “That’s why seniors, especially those who are at risk for falling, should at least carry a cell phone at all times or have a phone on the floor so they can call 911,” she said. After the talk, seniors are invited to participate in free balance screenings offered on dynamic posturography equipment. “The screenings are provided by a health coach who is trained to use the equipment in conjunction with identifying individual risk factors in a one-to-one consultation,” Smith said. “The equipment is sensitive to any balance disturbances that could be related to numerous medical conditions or side effects of medication. The screenings are meant to be a tool to initiate conversation between patient and physician about health concerns that could cause falls or when it may be difficult for a senior to admit that they have fallen.” Brittney Manegold, a center health coach, said the workshops have been successful at reducing hospitalizations for fractures by 53 percent and nursing home admissions by 63 percent. “Falls can be life-changing events that can rob seniors of their confidence, dignity and independence,” she said. “The goal of the workshop is to provide seniors with the tools and knowledge to protect themselves and to keep them living at home safely, independently and happily.” To register, call the branch at 609-5973381. —E.E.

hen is a campground more than a campground? With special events planned for the next two weekends, Sea Pirate Campground in West Creek is a destination for family fun that is open to the public and benefits the community. This Saturday, June 2, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., the campground presents the 10th annual Wicked Rides Classic and Antique Car Show. Proceeds benefit the Great Bay Volunteer EMS. The entry fee for show vehicles is $10, and the gate fee is a suggested $2 donation. Model years up to 1979 are considered the antiques and classics, and those dating from 1980 and newer are “hot rods.” Corvettes and Monte Carlos are some of the most popular entries, according to Sea Pirate Office Manager Bettiann Minenna. Members of the East Coast Boat Racing Club will bring their homemade garveys to be part of the display. A DJ will spin some oldies music, a fitting soundtrack for the occasion. People’s choice votes will determine the day’s top prizewinners. Last year’s event drew about 110 cars, Minenna said. Next Saturday afternoon, June 9, Sea Pirate’s annual Chili Cook-off from 1 to 4 p.m. benefits the Eagleswood and Parkertown Volunteer Fire Cos. Participating chili cooks are asked to make five gallons and bring the materials to set up a booth. Tasters will decide the three best chili recipes and the three bestdecorated booths. Some are as simple as a chair and a chili pot under a beach umbrella, while others are real “knock-your-socksoff ” elaborate constructions, she said. The campground provides spoons and cups for sampling, and electrical outlets if needed; the rest of the supplies are up to the participants. It’s all “homegrown,” Minenna said, so all kinds of recipes and variations are welcome. The entry fee for chili makers is $20 in advance or $25 the day of the event; admission is $5 for tasters. Visit sea-pirate.com to print and fill out the entry form. Live entertainment will be provided by a band called Decades, out of Staten Island. Minenna said often visitors who attend Sea Pirate’s special event live locally but, upon discovering the campground is a cozy wooded retreat with contemporary cottage, cabin and campsite lodging, as well as recreational fishing and a swimming pool, decide to spend the weekend or book a future getaway close to home. Sea Pirate has also recently revamped the snack bar, offering ice cream and milkshakes and other treats to make good times even tastier. Both the car show and the chili cook-off have enjoyed enough success over the years to become traditions, which distinguish the campground as a place where neighbors and out-of-towners alike can get together for some wholesome entertainment and support important local organizations. “The more people who come through the door, the more we give back out,” she said.

International Film Fest Invites Guests to Illuminate Industry By MICHAEL MOLINARO he 4th Annual Lighthouse International Film Festival that takes place this weekend on LBI is much more than a series of screenings from world-renowned ďŹ lm festivals. It is much more than the lavish after-parties and the awards ceremony that concludes it. It is even much more than the crack team of volunteers who make it all work and grow each year. What it is is a stop along the way of the collective dream of countless actors, actresses, directors and producers, many of whom may have given everything they have â&#x20AC;&#x201C; physically, mentally, ďŹ nancially â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to create a single ďŹ lm that will screen there. For anyone with a love of good ďŹ lms, with dreams of becoming a star or respected ďŹ lmmaker, it is a chance to meet many of these people, to speak with them, and to learn. Michelle Ang, an actress well known for her television work in New Zealand and currently ďŹ lming the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Underemployedâ&#x20AC;? pilot in Chicago for MTV, will be on hand for the screening of the award-winning romantic comedy â&#x20AC;&#x153;My Wedding and Other Secrets,â&#x20AC;? in which she stars. It will be presented at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at the LBI Grade School. Kay Panabaker, an actress known for her work on television and in the 2009 remake of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fame,â&#x20AC;? will stop by the LBI Foundation for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Little Birds,â&#x20AC;? the festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s centerpiece ďŹ lm in which she has a lead role. It will be screened at 8 p.m. Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Little Birdsâ&#x20AC;? writer/director Elgin James will also attend, as well as producer and longtime LBI resident Keith Fairclough. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This Ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Californiaâ&#x20AC;? director Marten Persiel will ďŹ&#x201A;y in from Germany to support his documentary about skateboarding culture behind the Berlin Wall in his country in the 1980s. The ďŹ lm, to be presented at 2 p.m. Saturday at the LBI Historical Mueseum, had a recent screening in Cannes. The delightfully scary late-night world premiere of the creature ďŹ&#x201A;ick â&#x20AC;&#x153;Embeddedâ&#x20AC;? (9:45 p.m. Friday at the LBI Historical Museum) will see stars Don Knodel and Lori Watt as well as director Michael Barafaro in attendance. Science fiction filmmaking documentary â&#x20AC;&#x153;Journey to Planet Xâ&#x20AC;? co-director Myles Kane will attend the screening (4 p.m. Saturday at the Island Baptist Church) of the ďŹ lm that premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. Tim Miller, the star of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Into the Wake,â&#x20AC;? will attend the surf ďŹ lmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s screening (9 p.m. Saturday at the LBI Grade School). It just won Best Film at the Tupelo Film Festival. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cape Spinâ&#x20AC;? (2 p.m. Sunday at the LBI Foundation) director Robbie Gemmel will attend the screening of this documentary about the battle over offshore wind farms near Cape Cod. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Handful of Seaâ&#x20AC;? (1:30 p.m. Sunday at the LBI Historical Museum) director Leyla Yilmaz is expected to travel from Turkey to attend the screening of his ďŹ lm at the festival. Tim Sutton, the director of the narrative ďŹ lm
T
â&#x20AC;&#x153;PAVILIONâ&#x20AC;? (8 p.m. Friday at the LBI Grade School) that premiered at South by Southwest (SXSW) will attend. Lucy Winer, the director of the powerful documentary â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kings Park: Stories from an American Mental Institutionâ&#x20AC;? (1:30 p.m. Sunday at LBI Grade School) will attend the festival. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Light of Mineâ&#x20AC;? (9 p.m. Friday at the Island Baptist Church) director Brett Eichenberger will be at his ďŹ lmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s screening. Many other short ďŹ lm makers are expected to attend, several of whom have ties to the Jersey Shore, proving it may be an ideal place for ďŹ lm artists to get their start. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Local Touristsâ&#x20AC;? was shot entirely in Wildwood, and director Doug Lenox will be in attendance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Jesus Pictureâ&#x20AC;? writer/producer Kim Horning, who will be attending, spent summers on LBI when growing up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;1429 Chelsea Streetâ&#x20AC;? star Ryan Simpkins lived in Beach Haven growing up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Elevatorâ&#x20AC;? director Tom Holcombe lives in New Jersey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Groundedâ&#x20AC;? director Kevin Margo grew up in Sussex County and spent summers vacationing on LBI, a mile from the Barnegat Lighthouse. Two â&#x20AC;&#x153;Breakfast With the Filmmakersâ&#x20AC;? events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; both held at the Gateway in Ship Bottom at 9 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will allow for further dialogue between ďŹ lm fans and artists as well as with ďŹ lm critic Glenn Kenny, who will host them. Festival Executive Director Charlie Prince spoke to The SandPaper Monday while working to black out the windows at the Foundation of the Arts and Sciences to achieve maximum ďŹ lm quality. He highlighted the unique opportunity the ďŹ lm festival presents, enabling patrons to meet the artists involved with the offerings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that is a key element,â&#x20AC;? Prince said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The thing we get consistently every year is an active element of being able to talk to actors and directors from much more than half of the ďŹ lms. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great opportunity to say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;how did you do this?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unparalleled. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re bringing in top people that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s typically hard to get access to. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wonderful opportunity to get up close and talk to people and learn much more through their experience.â&#x20AC;? Film festival adviser and contributor Eric Johnson reminds patrons of networking possibilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For people looking to break into ďŹ lm and interested in ďŹ lm there is also the networking angle. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re meeting other people doing the same thing and passing business cards. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re within reach of this entire network of people and can say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got this new project Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Whether a speciďŹ c person can help you or not, they always know someone who can.â&#x20AC;?

ISLAND COUNTRY: Nashville artist Lee Brice revisits the sort of smaller-room gig he ‘cut his teeth on,’ maxing out the capacity at Joe Pop’s Wednesday, launching the club’s country concert series.
Country Star Lee Brice Ignites Concert Series Pop’s Hits Home With Sold-Out Show By MICHAEL MOLINARO he country invaded the Island last Wednesday night when country music singer Lee Brice played what was an easily sold-out show at Joe Pop’s, proving that music genre has made its way into the hearts of people as far north as the New Jersey shoreline. The show was the first of Joe Pop’s “Summer Country Concert Series,” and if the packed parking lots surrounding the bar as far as the eye could see were any indication, it was a huge opening success. If there is any connection Brice has with the Jersey Shore, it can be summed up in three words: “hard work” and “fishing.” “I’d do a lot more offshore fishin’,” go the lyrics to “Woman Like You,” the first single off his recently released album, Hard 2 Love, which became his first No. 1 on Billboard’s list of top country songs on April 21. Offshore fishing is exactly what Brice and crew did before the show, catching a 50-pound striper off the edge of a pier in Seaside Heights earlier in the day. “Woman Like You” surpasses his breakthrough hit, “Love Like Crazy,” which had previously reached No. 3. The former may be the first country hit to use the word “yoga,” the latter taking credit for being the first of its kind to give “Microsoft” a lyrical nod. “The accomplishment feels good because we’ve been working so hard for so long,” Brice said from his tour bus. “I’m so excited and thankful, but to me it’s just the starting point.” Brice, who will be 33 in June, has written songs since he was 10 and has penned hits for
T
many artists, including Garth Brooks. In 2007, he signed with Curb Records and began work as a singer and artist. He has since made television appearances co-hosting “The Today Show” alongside Hoda Kotb, spent time on set during a country-themed episode of “The Price Is Right,” and is preparing for an upcoming visit to the “Late Show With David Letterman.” Last year he played the WYCD Downtown Hoedown in Detroit, which took in more than 300,000 country fans throughout the three-day festival. So what was he doing at Joe Pop’s on Wednesday? “I love it. I mean I cut my teeth on this stuff, on playing restaurants and small clubs,” Brice said. “What happens is you get hired to play for four hours by yourself, acoustic, and you have to learn how to entertain people. They end up being the most-fun gigs because you end up connecting and meeting almost everybody in that bar.” On board Brice’s bus were an entourage of bestfriend bandmates who all grew up together in South Carolina, a friendly tour manager who was quick to share a drink, and collaborative songwriters whom Brice has had to learn to accept what have become some of his biggest hits from. “Garth Brooks was smart enough to go find songs that were great, like ‘The Dance’ and ‘Friends in Low Places.’There are brilliant writers in this town (Nashville).” Brice’s appearance and subsequent strong turnout shows the growing popularity of country music, particularly in South Jersey among fans who once may have denounced the music back Continued on Page 30, Sec. 2

Lee Brice Brings ‘Island Country’ Continued from Page 29, Sec. 2 in high school for its lack of “coolness.” “All music goes in and out of style,” he said. “Country music just tells such great stories, and the artists themselves are so accessible and so cool, that I think some people just gravitate towards it at some point in their life, and when they figure that out, they realize this is the best music out there.” Brice agreed that lyrically, country music is increasingly cornering the market on what is clear and real, and even on love songs in general. “It is, but it always has,” said Brice. “One of the greatest songs ever – Whitney Houston’s ‘I’ll Always Love You’ – was written by Dolly Parton. It just proves country music is poignant. It’s also talking to the guys working every day, 9 to 5. “Things have happened in the last five years that have really put country in the limelight of the whole world again. People hear something like Miranda Lambert, Rascal Flatts, Taylor Swift, Lady Antebellum – they cross over to pop so everybody in the pop world hears something they might like, and it opens their eyes and ears and heart up to country music, and then they realize country’s awesome.” Hits like those already mentioned are helping Brice cross over to a larger audience. “You want to reach as many people as you possibly can, and that’s why I’m here busting my ass every day.” On to the Show The show began with a Cat Country Radio (107.3 out of Atlantic City) event in which singers competed in a Country Showdown, all of whom qualified for finals later this year in Atlantic City. Joe Kelly, the program director for the station’s morning show, served as emcee for the night and talked about the growing popularity of the genre his station has helped contribute to. “It’s not like it was when you didn’t want to listen to what your parents do,” said Kelly. “It’s just become the best option for people and entire families. Country has become the pop music, really, and it’s for all ages and all income levels.” Nineteen-year-old Colts Neck native Corey Wagner opened for Brice with an hour-long set that included her singles “Hurricane” and “I Hate My Boyfriend,” which drew a great response from the crowd. Wagner has lived in Nashville the past few months, writing and recording with Kent Wells – who has worked with the likes of Dolly Parton and Keith Whitley – as the first artist signed to his label, GTR Records. She agreed country has taken on new life in New Jersey. “In Jersey it was not big at all, so now to be able to play in my home state and see all these country fans out here is really, really awesome,” she said. “It’s a really cool feeling just to see the way it’s developed over the past few years. “I could’ve done pop or done anything – country music has always been in my heart. I was definitely country when it wasn’t cool here in Jersey.” “I’ve gotten to open up for so many amazing acts, and Lee Brice is one of my favorites. I just got his album. I can’t wait to go in there and watch the show.” People stood on chairs next to Joe Pop’s front windows to catch a glimpse of Brice’s entrance, which roused rowdy applause and cheering from the crowd. The set opened with four or five full-on countrified rock songs. Like a ’90s grunge band, they appeared to go to dropped-D tuning on guitar for “Sumter County Friday Night,” a “song about my home town,” Brice explained from the stage. “There ain’t a whole lot to do in a small town.” “How many crazy-ass women do we have here tonight?!” Brice asked before diving into “She Ain’t Right.” Country still provides much material on the

many simple joys of life, including what Brice called “the greatest invention in the world” before holding a cold one up to the microphone and cracking it open to the crowd’s delight as the
intro began to “Beer.” “If you know this song, sing it. Sing it like crazy,” Brice commanded the crowd he now held in the palm of his hand. This preceded “Woman Like You,” which was performed “unplugged” during an intimate acoustic portion of the show. It was a “VH-1 Storytellers” type moment when Brice paid tribute to his songwriter friends Rob Hatch and Lance Miller, with whom he wrote “Friends We Won’t Forget” on Hard 2 Love, by bringing them to the stage for a performance of that nostalgic song and others, including “When the Whiskey Used to Burn.” The band brought on the ballads for much of the show, delivering the goods on “That’s When You Know It’s Over,” which showed off Brice’s vocal power and passion. This was more than just a country show. The influence of other genres on modern-day country was clear, from rock to pop and even blues. “Every word of this next song is true,” Brice said of “Picture of Me.” During a breakdown in that song, Brice introduced the tight-knit band of “best friends and brothers” backing him who shone throughout the night.

THE SANDPAPER/WEDNESDAY, MAY 30, 2012
By ASHLEY TEDESCO icking off Memorial Day weekend at a Beach Haven bar means headlining the show that is summertime on the Island. Almost Easy took that task in stride, just as its name might suggest, rocking out poolside at the Sea Shell Resort and Beach Club in Beach Haven. Almost Easy is no stranger to the Sea Shell, having headlined Monte’s Pool Party every Sunday last summer. The band, which hails from north and central Jersey and describes itself as “seasoned but youthful powerhouses,” is made up of Pete Levine, lead vocals and guitar; Chris Manzo on bass and vocals; Stu Berenson on lead guitar and vocals; and Joe Martin on the drums. “We’re a high-energy party band,” said Martin. “We cover everything from ’80s and ’90s rock, to classic rock, modern rock – whatever’s left of it – and modern dance music. We pretty much cover both ends of the spectrum. We have a certain show for any type of venue.” For Long Beach Island, he said, that means starting off a little laid back, but giving people plenty of opportunities to break out of their shells and have some fun, all from the other side of the pool. “We’re surrounded by pool,” said Martin, “so the audience isn’t right in our face like when we’re on stage. So Pete actually gets out there and starts interacting; he gets the tables to stand up and sing along. He’ll get out there now and really get people up. He has to, you know – there’s 20 feet of pool there!” As promised, Pete danced around the pool to get the audience seated as poolside tables pumped up. Some, of course, didn’t need an excuse to start dancing, like one woman who was spotted dancing on her picnic table for a significant portion of the second set. Around her, people were three deep at the outdoor bar, evidence that summer has truly begun. Servers walked around with trays of Jell-O shots while an Almost Easy street team representative hopped from table to table giving out Mardi Gras-style beads to those who signed up for the band’s mailing list. What inside might have been wall-to-wall people was certainly a crowd packed from pool to dunes, all clearly enjoying the beautiful weather, holiday weekend and authentic-sounding band – a quality that is a true priority to Almost Easy. “When we do dance and hip hop, one thing I hate is the sanitized ‘cover band’ version,” said Berenson. “We really try to make our songs really authentic. Every cut, every accent, every Continued on Page 38, Sec. 2

Sara Budd
ARRAY: Randy Budd of West Creek has it made in the shade, with his quiver of boards, photographed for Korduroy. tv, a web series on DIY surf culture. The ‘Show Us Your Quiver’ movement started with California’s online Ocean Beach Bulletin. A board collection, it might be said, is a reflection of a surfer’s relationship with wave riding.
N
othing defines a surfer like his or her “quiver.” It’s a timeless tradition for a surf magazine to show pro shredders surrounded by the boards they ride – the celebrated conduit between themselves and the ocean, the collection of sticks that best depicts their approach to riding waves. We’re all aware of the downside to our digital lives and hyper-connected world of timelines and Instagram photos. (Why do people feel the need to share every time they make tacos?) But one very cool aspect is that the quiver shot is no longer just for the hot young grom or the weathered Hawaiian veteran. Anyone can get a digi camera and “show us your quiver.” The recent quiver shot movement was sparked by the Ocean Beach Bulletin, a website serving the beach districts of San Francisco. Basically the site runs a photo of a surfer with his collection of craft, then a series of shots that highlight the quiver and personal insight into each board. A lot of these surfers are artists, business owners, photographers, writers and teachers. Call me crazy, but I am far more interested in a journalist who’s let his little kids scrawl art on his sticks than some professional big wave rider and his 19 guns. It just says so much about a wave rider. I’m preparing to take a shot of my own that will include my canoe, a Pine Knot Surfboards handplane, and everything in between. Fun quivers include dusted ’60s classics, inflatable Hawaiian Punch rafts and garage-shaped twinnies. Or maybe you’re a true minimalist and your lone board is a worn-out singlefin that you ride everything from 10 inches to 10 feet. That’s what’s so cool about it. Korduroy.tv picked up on the “Show Us Your Quiver” buzz and ran with it, creating a series of online sessions where folks submitted quivers and others voted for their favorites. Korduroy is a web-based video series on DIY surf culture, the brainchild of the very creative, versatile and Emmy-winning Cyrus Sutton of Southern California. You
may notice the #ShowUsYourQuiver trend on Twitter. Although somewhat of a peripheral surf celeb himself, Sutton is a big fan of our own Randy Budd of West Creek. In Korduroy’s first session, Budd had the fourth most popular quiver shot. For those who don’t know, Budd grew up in Surf City and rode for YKnot Surf Shop in the ’70s. A carpenter, he became intrigued with building his own boards and in the last five years has been experimenting with hollow-framed wooden boards under the label Pine Knot Surfboards, as well as teaching alaia-building classes at the Tuckerton Seaport. That sparked an idea, and we decided that there’s a whole lot of characters on LBI that have garages full of interesting boards. Why not do our own? So, this summer, thesandpaper. net will run a special feature of local surfers’ quivers. I’m pretty excited to see what local guys and girls have in their garages, sheds and bedrooms. We’re going to keep a running log of the photos on the SandPaper, Show Us Your Quiver page. Our first two quivers this week are fittingly from Budd and Manahawkin’s Rick Huegi. So get your boards together – your first board, fat and yellow, kept around for sentimental reasons, your favorite cruiser skateboard, your magic stepup, and maybe that Morey Boogie Aussie that you take out from time to time. Then find someone with a little photographic know-how and take a shot that not only shows what you ride, but how it reflects who you are. Then mail the photo at high resolution to joncoen@thesandpaper.net. Now let’s get right into the surf, which has come back with a vengeance. Last week’s column mentioned that we’ve had some swell, but the wind had largely been a problem. But then, as The SandPaper was going to print on Tuesday, May 22, we had a stellar afternoon. I am estimating
these waves were courtesy of local windswell with some help from once Tropical Storm Alberto. The result was head-high peaks with light to non-existent breezes. Those who surfed the south end said it was pretty much off the Richter. Nothing beats bottom turns and big carves when you start shedding the rubber this time of year. But the beauty of this swell was that pretty much everywhere was breaking. It was one of those rare days when every random street had a touch of magic. Unfortunately for some, the wind came up south again before dark. Then came the big “unofficial start to summer.” And what better way to celebrate the Memorial Day weekend than little waves all weekend? “The swell was so weak; it was a little bit of a tease,” admitted Conor Willem of Surf City, “but Saturday was the best of it.” It wasn’t anything like the previous Tuesday, nor anywhere near epic, but as far as a lot of waves to accommodate all the summer waveriders, it wasn’t bad. And May, a month not usually known for surf, continues to produce beyond any month of the winter. The wind didn’t truly go offshore until Monday afternoon, at which time the swell died. Nothing is perfect. Summertime on the East Coast is known as a down time for surfing. Despite all the warm weather hoopla, real surfers know that to truly score, you have to deal with the brutality of winter. However, during the winter we get days, if not weeks, of frigid northwest winds that crush any hope of surfing. Granted, in the summer, your perspective changes (boardshorts will do that to you). But we can get a fun two-foot wave to pop up from time to time. “I surfed a spot in Surf City for a solid two hours on Sunday morning, trunked it and had a ball,” said Jack Ryan of West Creek. “It was chin-high mushburgers, doing a reform on the inside, lots of fading and gliding. I am not at all embarrassed to admit that glassy summer longboard stuff is one

But the persisting clockwise flow around this Atlantic weather and the constant heating and cooling of the land cause our own sort of mid-latitude trade wind. And this can keep some kind of wave, no matter how mushy, in the water. We’re basically in this pattern now, and at the right tides, these can be a whole lot of fun, especially now that the ocean is above 60. We actually touched the 64-degree mark on Thursday and Friday. The weather wasn’t half bad either. This weekend was forecasted to be a bit soggy, and all we had was the odd sun shower, which translates
into happy visitors and consequently, well-fed locals. There’s nothing like the sweet aroma of summer cash mixing with the smell of BBQ after the long winter. I certainly can’t let this week go by without addressing the crazy weather anomaly to our south. Folks in northern Florida may have been banking on a big holiday weekend as well, but Tropical Storm Beryl had other ideas. Many a landfalling hurricane have killed business on Labor Days for East Coast beach towns, but a Memorial Day mess just isn’t normal. Tropical Storm Beryl formed shortly after the remains of Tropical Storm Alberto zipped off to sea. So for those of you who aren’t flat-out weather nerds like myself, let me Continued on Page 38, Sec. 2

By BILL GEIGER ummer movies often have a life of their own, some rising to the top of the heap after a few weeks running in the theaters, others falling off into the dark abyss, forgotten, only to surface several months later when the DVD is released. So far this summer, Marvel’s “The Avengers” has been the top dog, easily knocking off its competition; probably the closest it will have during the next week or so is “Battleship.” This time around we’ll look at “Battleship,” along with “Dark Shadows” and “The Dictator.” The common denominator here is comedy, for “Battleship” could loosely be considered an action/comedy, “Dark Shadows” a horror/comedy, and “The Dictator” a comedy/ comedy, meaning its sole purpose is to make us laugh. But that’s problematic with this film, as I hope will become clear when we discuss it momentarily. But these three films are indicative of what we are served most summers, with perhaps “Dark Shadows” being the lone outlyer. It was actually pretty clever. Cleverness is not something Sacha Baron Cohen need ever worry about in his films. No, his movies are like blunt objects, wielded very effectively at whoever dares watch. I call his brand of humor “blender” comedy, since he tosses in whatever he feels like to see what comes out, and sometimes it’s funny. But there were long stretches in “The Dictator” where I did not laugh, and some that got pretty uncomfortable. T he stor y tells of Admiral General Aladeen, a fictional North African dictator of a fictional country, Wadiya. Like many dictatorships, this one is plagued by scheming and infighting, most especially from Aladeen’s righthand man, Tamir, a plum role for any hack actor, but somehow Cohen convinced Ben Kingsley to play the treasonous character. Despite Aladeen’s myriad body doubles, most are killed off by anarchists, and when one particularly stupid one is found (though how he’d be distinguished from the real Aladeen is a mystery), Tamir is ready to hatch his plot. They travel to New York because Aladeen has been called to speak to the United Nations about his country’s incipient nuclear program – which, of course, Aladeen has declared is to be used only for generating power. Tamir pays off the security detail to kidnap the real Aladeen and inserts the stupid one in his place; no one notices. The kidnapper cuts off the real Aladeen’s signature beard, but he manages to escape his captor and head out into the wilds of the Big Apple. There he meets a girl named Zoe (Anna Farris), who runs a whole-foods nature store and whose strong will intrigues him, and he thinks he might be falling in love. Meanwhile, the evil Tamir wants the stupid Aladeen to declare democracy for Wadiya, thus enabling him to sell off prime oil-well real estate. Director Larry Charles winds the film down toward a predictable conclusion but includes some pretty bizarre situations Aladeen fi nds himself in, like delivering a baby in Zoe’s store and using a zip line to get into the hotel where his look-alike is staying. He pretends to sign over the dictatorship to a democracy, but

The speech he makes accusing democracies like America’s of being a sham is particularly funny, pointing out the gradual erosion of liberty that actually happened during the reign of Bush II. And his inclusion of Dick Cheney as one of the world’s worst dictators got some laughs, too. So “The Dictator” is like a weather forecast – partly funny, partly lousy. Cohen’s ambush type of comedy is not for everyone, and even humor in the end credits was lukewarm. As I’ve said in other reviews of his films, his brand of comedy is an acquired taste; it’s one I haven’t quite acquired yet. * * * The cynic might say “Battleship” is one long commercial for the U.S. Navy. That the ersatz patriotism is hard to swallow, even though it’s fairly pushed down your throat as the film reaches its climactic battle. That taking a mothballed battleship like the U.S.S. Missouri out of its anchorage in Hawaii with a crew of senior citizens to do battle with marauding aliens is over the top. Then you realize the answer is yes to all those things, and the film is one big send-up of the so-called summer blockbusters. “Battleship” is an inspired action comedy, clearly making fun of the big-budget shoot’em-ups, as seen from the early going, when world-class screw-up Alex Hopper, played by Taylor Kitsch, breaks into a convenience store to get a burrito for a girl he met in a bar who had told him she was “hungry,” and director Peter Berg plays “Pink Panther” music in the background. He gets the burrito, then gets tased by the cops chasing him, but manages to hand off the burrito to the girl from the bar, Samantha Shane (Brooklyn Decker), just as he goes down. The two become lovers, even though he joins the Navy at the behest of his brother Stone (Stone Hopper – now there’s a great name!) and Samantha turns out to be the daughter of Admiral Shane, the commander of the Pacific Fleet. Meanwhile, NASA has discovered a planet just like Earth, and has been sending signals to it via a deep-space satellite, hoping to fi nd life there. They do fi nd life – not cute little E.T. aliens, but rather highly evolved, malevolent beings intent on attacking and subduing Earth. Continued on Page 38, Sec. 2

Liquid Lines Continued from Page 36, Sec. 2 explain the best way I can. 2012 was supposed to be a year of low tropical activity, and two storms have already formed before the official start of the season. The last time there were two named storms in May was 1887. And Beryl, with top sustained winds at 70 mph, was almost a hurricane when she struck the Jacksonville Beach region Sunday night. The silver lining around these cirrus clouds was that the Southeast has been in a drought all spring. The other was that Central Florida was firing! As we discussed in past Liquid Lines, the reason this was thought to be a below-average
Almost Easy Continued from Page 35, Sec. 2 inflection in the voice, we try to sound authentic, street, not sanitized. I think people react to that when they hear the real thing coming out.” Each member of the band has different favorites and specialties, fusing them to please everyone in the audience. “I like covering the hip hop artists the most because I just love hip hop drumming,” said Martin. “I love the steady groove, you know? And I love doing hard rock, too. Anything that has a really rock-steady feel, I like playing.” For Levine, it’s all about the audience. “I enjoy doing any song where I feel like I’m giving 110 percent to it vocally and energy-wise, and the crowd is reciprocating,” said Levine. “When that’s going on and their hearts (are) into it, they’re into it, that’s the best moment of every show we play.” Berenson took the reins on a little classic rock flavor, asking the crowd, “Who wants some more ’80s?” and leading into the 1982 Clash hit “Rock the Casbah.” “I enjoy classic rock,” Berenson said later. “It makes you shine. Put ‘shine’ in all caps,” he said, laughing, making it clear that he’s the jokester of the group and tagged “our diva lead guitarist” by Levine. It’s that bantering chemistry that gives Almost Easy a truly cohesive presence on stage, but it hasn’t always been that way. “Basically, (we were) two bands playing out for years, and just decided that we had similar interests and we came together to pursue them,” said Levine. “It was the joining of two bands.”
season in terms of hurricane activity was because of El Niño. Hurricanes form in the Intertropical Convergence Zone typically in August and September when the prevailing winds die and allow circulation to flare. During an El Niño year, the winds stay strong and sheer the tops off storms, inhibiting development. The effects of El Niño, however, have yet to kick in. That could explain the early roaring in the Atlantic. Moreover, some of the most recent predictions (like NOAA’s) are now calling for an average year. The bottom line is that this stuff is still way too complex to try to “crystal ball” it months in advance. Beryl did the hokey-pokey and turned herself around in southern Georgia before heading for the ocean again as a much less potent, tropical depression. We should see on Wednesday whether she helps out with swell for the Island. In travel news, Equity Source Loans coowner Steve Carpitella, known outside his Almost Easy in its current form just celebrated its fi rst anniversary last week, adding to the celebration of Memorial Day. Berenson kept the guys laughing by explaining after the show how they came to form the band. “Well, we were dating fi rst, but we didn’t want to rush things,” he joked. The group of four takes that chemistry and fun-loving attitude to the stage with them, as well, and interacts with the crowd as much as possible. “Our favorite crowds are the ones that are uninhibited, the ones that aren’t there to start fights or cause drama,” said Levine. “We like to take ourselves seriously when it comes to performances and our music, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously when it comes to enjoying a crowd and interacting with them. At the end of the day, we are musicians there to do what we love, but we’re also there to make sure everyone has a good time.” Promising long sets featuring a variety of Top 40 dance, hip hop and pop music means spending a lot of time learning new songs as they are released. “Since dance music dominates the pop charts and those dance songs come and go so fast, a song that’s a month old is already out the door,” said Martin. When the band isn’t on stage performing, they’re hard at work keeping on top of the current musical trends, which naturally can be a little trying sometimes. “Please, for the love of God, will guys stop requesting ‘Call Me Maybe’!” said Levine, laughing, between sets. The band is working on learning the new hit single by Carly Rae Jepson this week, along with others, in plenty of time for their upcoming gigs and, of course, their return to the Shell on July 7. *

professional circles as “Ogre,” has been scoring all month on another continent. This dedicated local surfer has a knack for eyeballing swells around the globe and getting to a far-off coast at the same time as epic surf. This time it was South Africa. He was joined by Surf City pro Randy Townsend, who was part of the tactical strike. Townsend was home in time to captain the Harvey Cedars Beach Patrol in its first weekend on duty, but Carpitella has been posted up at the famed Jeffrey’s Bay since May 10. He calls it easily one of the best righthand point breaks in the world. “There were a couple solid six-to eight-foot days going off. Lots of them have been super rippable, some epic sessions with barely anybody out. It’s not anything like Southern California as far as crowds. There were maybe 40-something heads on last weekend’s swell as opposed to 300 at Rincon (Calif.) The locals are in charge, but there are plenty of waves,” he reported. “Randy killed it. I think he had four barrels on one wave and seemed to do a thousand backhand snaps.” He could hear the new swell filling in as he wrote me. And we thought we were lucky with one head-high day last week! The Eastern Surfing Association ran its third contest of the year in Seaside on Sunday
and a few Island surfers were brave enough to venture into the Heights on a holiday weekend. Rick Huegi continued his tear, taking second place in Senior Men’s Shortboard and then making the finals of the Open Shortboard against competitors young enough to be his offspring. Kali Emery notched another third place in the Open Women’s. Jetty has announced dates for its trademark contests this year. The all-ladies Coquina Jam is slated for Aug. 4, with no wave dates of Aug. 5 and then possibly 8/24 and 8/26. The Clam Jam will hopefully go off on Oct. 13, a little earlier this year than the past few. I’m noticing a very strong season already for skimboarding, and the Surf Shack South recently got its first shipment of Exile Skimboards for the season if you want to peruse in Bay Village. Due to the lack of snow days last winter, expect summer folk to be here a little earlier this year. Make sure your cash register is in good working order. As I always say, this is a sweet little time of year on LBI. We should have warm water, ideal Quelle weather, and a bump of swell for two or three weeks before the full occupation of LBI. And start dragging those boards out from the crawlspace. We want to see your quiver. * joncoen@thesandpaper.net

Unintentionally dug up in 1972 by some road workers, Barnabas fi nds himself a near stranger in a strange new world, where his once-prosperous town, Collinsport, Maine, is almost in ruins, and his family home, Collinwood Manor, is as tattered as what’s left of his broken-down family. Barnabas decides to help his new family climb back up to the top, so he sets out to learn all he can about his new world. Most of the film’s humor and power come from Barnabas’ interactions with the 1972 world. Music from the era is as important to the film as Depp, and Burton spares no great rock band, including Alice Cooper, who even appears in the film and whom Barnabas calls the ugliest woman he has ever seen. The Moody Blues play over the opening credits, and even Percy Faith and “Summer Place” fi nd a spot in the film’s fi rst tracking shot above the 1972 version of Collinsport. As the era is carefully evoked, Barnabas’ stuffy, anachronistic language and his penchant for howlingly funny putdowns are two of the highlights. Michelle Pfeiffer, who plays Elizabeth Collins Stoddard, has been holding what she can of the family together. There’s her 15-year-old daughter, Carolyn (Chloe Grace Moretz), and lonely nephew David (Gulliver McGrath), who sees visions of his dead mother. There’s David’s father, Roger Collins (Jonny Lee Miller), a womanizing thief who cares nothing for the family, and Victoria Winters (Bella Heathcote), the newly hired nanny who attempts to look after David but harbors secrets of her own. And the caretaker of Collinwood Manor is Willie Loomis (Jackie Earle Haley), a generally unreliable drunk. Another drunk is Dr. Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham Carter), hired by Elizabeth to help young David deal with his ghostly visions. Once Barnabas comes on board, the family remains anything but normal, but they begin to prosper once again, thanks to his business acumen and his vampire-inspired threats. Then he runs into Angelique Bouchard once again, the witch from his earlier imprisonment, who has metamorphosed into the owner/operator of a rival fish canning company, the business that drove the Collins empire into the ground. The two of them square off, but not until after a particularly spirited romantic session that leaves her office in shambles, and is quite funny. There are some inspired moments in “Dark Shadows,” some moments of sheer lunacy, and even some fairly scary moments. Because Depp is such an appealing character, it’s sometimes easy to forget he’s a vampire. When he shares some of his past with a group of hippies smoking some weed and becoming ready to accept him, he thanks them for listening, then tells them he’s going to have to kill them. And he does. So he’s not necessarily a good man, but we pull for him because he’s appealing. And we likewise pull for “Dark Shadows” because the film is appealing and cleverly done. Cleverness is not something you see very often in a summer flick, but I think “Dark Shadows” is loaded with it.
Continued from Page 37, Sec. 2 They should have checked the calendar, though, for they arrive during a big naval exercise in the Pacific near Hawaii, involving navies from the U.S., Japan and other countries. With live ammo. Stone’s there, along with slacker brother Alex, who, having punched out a Japanese officer a bit earlier, fi nds himself ready to be drummed out of the Navy after the big exercise. Then the aliens attack and all bets are off. You just know how this will go, but nothing prepares you for the paraplegic veteran who rallies to Samantha (who, as it turns out, is a therapist working with him) and actually engages one of the aliens, mano a mano. By this point you want to be standing and cheering as the aliens battle the Navy, mostly a ragtag bunch led by Rihanna, who plays a badass petty officer with maximum attitude and some incredible fi repower. With Alex’s smarts and the Japanese officer who’s now his friend, they climb aboard the Missouri and weigh anchor, sailing off with a crew of white-haired museum guides who just happen to remember how to sail the big battleship – which also, inexplicably, has some live ordnance aboard, which they use to maximum benefit. I know we’ve had films made from video games and theme park rides, but this has to be the fi rst one I’ve seen made from a “classic board game,” as Hasbro likes to say. There is a scene very much like the classic board game, as the aliens have disabled the radar capability of the warships, so they resort to a more “primitive” method of detecting the alien ships, namely using water displacement as measured by the array of tsunami-detecting buoys NOAA has around Hawaii. Via this method, the Navy and the aliens play a delicate cat-and-mouse game using cruise missiles from the destroyers and odd, metal-crunching transformers that the aliens send. There’s a medal-awarding ceremony at the end, and all that’s missing is Superman flying in with the American flag. But if you watch this film for the satire that it is, it becomes great fun, because it never takes itself too seriously. “Battleship” found just the right voice, and because it did, it’s hugely entertaining. Plus, Creedence’s “Fortunate Son” plays at the end. A film with Creedence music can’t go wrong. * * * “Dark Shadows” is very entertaining, too, largely because of star Johnny Depp, who is entertaining in just about everything he does, and director Tim Burton, who knows his way around some pretty macabre material. In “Dark Shadows,” Depp plays Barnabas Collins, a once-prosperous young man who was cursed, turned into a vampire, and buried alive in the 18th century by a witch – and all-around not nice person – named Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green), whose love Barnabas had spurned.

By RICK MELLERUP h at eve r h ap p e ne d t o Andrew Lloyd Webber? Have you hea rd much about him lately? This reviewer, before he was a reviewer, lived in Manhattan from 1979 to 1989, the decade Lloyd Webber took Broadway by storm. Mega-hit followed mega-hit – “Evita” in 1979, “Cats” in 1982, “Phantom of the Opera” in 1988. Critics and city theatergoers would eventually start to look down their noses on Lloyd Webber, saying his shows were only for tourists and – a Manhattanite’s worst putdown – “bridge-and-tunnel people.” I, however, can well remember the hoops that people, including myself, went through to get early-run, original-cast tickets for a Lloyd Webber spectacular during his heyday. In the days before the Disney invasion, Lloyd Webber ruled, especially with “Phantom,” the longestrunning show in Broadway history as well as the most fi nancially successful (over $5 billion in worldwide ticket sales) theatrical show ever. But then the composer’s bubble burst. “Aspects of Love” opened on Broadway in 1990 and ran for only 377 performances. True, a decent run, but certainly not up to Lloyd Webber’s standards. 1994 brought “Sunset Boulevard.” It racked up the highest advance sales in theatrical history, won seven Tony Awards including Best Musical, and ran for 977 performances. So it would seem that Sir Andrew (he was
W
knighted in 1992) had rebounded. There was a caveat however. “Sunset Boulevard” actually lost money because of its huge production costs! A nd then? Well, if t r uth be known, he went downhill fast. How many people are familiar with 1998’s “Whistle Down the Wind,” written in conjunction with Jim Steinman, best known for the hits he penned for Meat Loaf? Not many, and for a very good reason – “Whistle,” which was bound for Broadway (an opening date had been announced), never made it to New York after a production in Washington, D.C. garnered shockingly negative reviews. Ever hear of 2004’s “The Woman in White?” It isn’t surprising if you haven’t considering its shelf life on Broadway was a mere three months. It seemed Lloyd Webber’s days in the sun were over, and it seemed as if he realized it as well. Since 2006 he’s spent much of his time – Lord, how the mighty have fallen – serving
as a producer of and judge on British reality TV shows! All of this rise-like-a-rocket-falllike-a-meteorite history makes “All I Ask of You,” a tribute/revue at Beach Haven’s Surflight Theatre, an interesting show indeed. Act I features mostly songs from his ascendency and Midas touch period, drawn from “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” “Jesus Christ Superstar,” “Starlight Express,” “Evita,” “Cats,” and, of course, “Phantom.” Ad mirably performed by a four-person cast (Surfl ight veteran Haley Swindal, Grace Field, Matthew G. Myers and Michael Padgett), and backed beautifully by an eight-piece orchestra led by James Higgins and a sadly underutilized choir, Act I made this reviewer remember why he used to spend hours – nay, days – tracking down hard-to-get tickets for Lloyd Webber shows in the 1980s. Critics and theater snobs who put down Sir Andrew in his prime were disengenuous because the beauty of songs such as “I Don’t Know How to Love Him” and “Music of the Night” (sung beautifully by Padgett) is undeniable. There was a surprise as well, a stunningly airy “Pie Jesu” from “Requiem.” Swindal and Field almost had me in tears. I had been aware that Lloyd Webber had composed a requiem mass in honor of his father but had never heard it. Upon leaving the theater I jumped on the Internet to fi nd out when he had written it.

METEORIC: ‘All I Ask of You’ stars (from left) Michael Padgett, Matthew G. Myers, Grace Field and Haley Swindal. The tribute/revue runs through June 16 at Surflight Theatre. Act II, however, is mainly comprised of later Lloyd Webber material. It featured no less than five songs from “Whistle Down the Wind,” which is good in the sense of allowing theatergoers to hear some unfamiliar material but bad in that the songs
were clearly inferior to earlier efforts. The act was saved by Swindal’s wonderful version of “Memory” – her voice technique has greatly improved since she fi rst appeared at Surflight a couple of years back in “Cabaret,” proving that theater artists really do work at their craft – and the gentle rendition of “Close Every Door” from “Joseph” by Myers, who had spent most of the show ripping into Lloyd Webber’s more rock-inspired numbers. So, all in all, a revue well worth seeing. There’s no doubt about it – Andrew Lloyd Webber in his prime was a good composer, a very good composer. Alas, “was” is the operative word. The show ended with “’Till I Hear You Sing” from “Love Never Dies,” the long-anticipated sequel to “Phantom.” Padgett did a good job with it, but, well, it certainly isn’t “Music of the Night.” “Love Never Dies” was supposed to open on Broadway in the spring of 2011 but after a rather bumpy ride in the West End, bad fan reaction in previews, and a time out for Sir Andrew to receive prostate cancer surgery, an executive producer decided the show needed “some changes.” If “Till I Hear You Sing” is any indication, it sure does! I can’t imagine a theatergoer spending, what, $200, for a ticket for “Love Never Dies” if it ever does make it to the Great White Way. Shelling out $36 to $54 to see Surf light’s “All I Ask of You” is money better spent. “All I Ask of You” runs through June 16 at Surflight. Tickets may be purchased online at surflight.org, by phone at 609-492-9477, extension 1, or at the box office. * rickmellerup@thesandpaper.net

f the United States ever entered into a war that could have been prevented, it was the War of 1812. While the lure of land in Florida and Canada was the driving force behind the war hawks, the excuse put forth was “impressment and the rights of a neutral nation to free trade.” These slogans were a result of England and France being locked in a death struggle. Each country had blockaded the other, and the British Navy was “impressing” Americans to serve on its ships. These rules of economic warfare became known as “Orders in Council.” For years, America had fought back against the practice by limiting sales and purchases from Great Britain, but in the spring of 1812, the war hawks beat the drum of patriotism. Military historian Robert Lackie explained. “Ironically, American boycott of Britain had also produced economic distress in England. Receipts of American food crops had fallen to a trickle, exports to America had dried up, and the harsh winter of 1811-12 was made more unbearable by the failure of English crops. Starved and jobless English workmen began to riot while merchants and manufacturers beseeched the government to rescind the Orders in Council and reopen American trade. “It took that event unique in British history – the assassination of a prime minister, Spencer Perceval – to place in power a ministry willing to make the change. On June 16, 1812, London announced that the Orders in Council had been suspended.” The irony was it was too late. Two days later, before the news arrived in the United States, the Senate voted 19 to 13 to make the declaration of war official. The confusion of the times can be seen in the British Gentleman’s Magazine of July 1812, describing the action of New Jersey’s governor, Joseph Bloomfield. “Intelligence has been received by a pilotboat arrived at Liverpool, that the American senate had determined on war with this country by a majority of six; the pilot-boat left New York the 23d ult; previous to her departure, an express had been received at that place by Gen. Bloomfield, which he read at the head of his whole army, formally announcing that war against Great Britain had been declared by the United States. Whether these measures received the final sanction of the American government previous to the arrival of the intelligence of the death of Mr. Perceval, and the revocation of the Orders in Council, is not yet known.” It would be the end of July before news of the repeal reached America, and events had already taken place. The secretary of the Navy sent orders to his top commanders on May 21. “As war appears now inevitable, I request you state to me, a plan of operations, which, in your judgment, will enable our little navy to annoy in the utmost extent, the trade of Gt Britain while it least exposes it to the immense naval force of that government. State also, the Ports of the US which you think safest as asylums for our Navy, in time of war.” An antiwar movement had already been dividing the country. As Congress debated, the citizens of Boston formed a committee. “While the temper and views of the national administration are intent upon war, an expression of the sense of this Town, will, of itself, be quite ineffectual, either to avert this deplorable calamity, or to accelerate a return of peace. But believing, as we do, that an immense majority of the people are invincibly averse from a conflict equally unnecessary and menacing ruin to themselves and their posterity; convinced, as we are, that the event will overwhelm them with astonishment and dismay, we cannot but trust that a general expression of the voice of the people would satisfy Congress that those of their Representatives who have voted in favor of war, have not truly represented the wishes of their constituents; and thus arrest the tendency of their measures to this extremity.” Finally, Boston, the hot bed of the American Revolution declared, “Therefore Resolved, That under existing circumstances, the inhabitants
of this Town most sincerely deprecate a war with Great Britain as extremely injurious to the interests and happiness of the people, and peculiarly so, as it necessarily tends to an alliance with France, thereby threatening the subversion of their liberties and independence. That an offensive war against Great Britain alone would be manifestly unjust; and that a war against both the belligerent powers would be an extravagant undertaking, which is not required by the honour or interest of the nation.” The 34 members of the House of Representatives who opposed the war published, “The undersigned cannot refrain from asking, what are the United States to gain by this war? Will the gratification of some privateersmen compensate the nation for that sweep of our legitimate commerce by the extended marine of our enemy which this desperate act invites? Will Canada compensate the Middle states for New York; or the Western states for New Orleans? “Let us not be deceived. A war of invasion may invite a retort of invasion. When we visit the peaceable, and as to us innocent, colonies of Great Britain with the horrors of war, can we be assured that our own coast will not be visited with like horrors? At a crisis of the world such as the present, and under impressions such as these, the undersigned could not consider the war, in which the United States have in secret been precipitated, as necessary or required by any moral duty, or any political expediency.” There were those who supported the war. The logbook of the USS Constitution, then at Annapolis, Md., recorded, “JUNE 20. (1812) At 5 P. M. the Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Read, had the crew turned up, and read to them the declaration of war between the United States and the United Kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland, that had passed the Senate and authorizing the president James Madison to employ the Armies and navy of the United States against the above written powers. The Crew manifested their Zeal in Support of the Honor of the United States Flagg by requesting of leave to Cheer on the occasion (granted them). Crew returned to their duty, light airs from the Southward and Eastward.” Supporters of President James Madison and the war held a rally in Trenton on July 10 and sent their own letter to him. “Sir – Believing it would be pleasing to you, at this crisis to be acquainted with sentiments and views of your constituents in every part of the Union, the convention of Republican delegates from the several counties of the state of New Jersey take the liberty of addressing you on behalf of their constituents and themselves. “They have seen with approbation the long continued and often repeated efforts of the government of the United States to preserve to the country the blessings of peace, and at the same time to maintain the honor and independence of the nation. Negotiation has at length been abandoned as hopeless; Resistance has been commenced as the last resort.” Finally, Madison’s New Jersey supporters promised, “On behalf of the republican citizens of this state, and of ourselves, we, therefore, sir, assure you, we are now as much in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the war until our wrongs are redressed and our rights respected, as we have heretofore been of the preservation of peace, while it could be maintained without a surrender of our rights and interests. And we are fully of opinion that the confidence of the friends of government in New Jersey will be increased rather than diminished, by the measures adopted by the general government for the support of our unquestionable inalienable rights.” As the loyal citizens met in Trenton, the ship carrying word that the grievances had been in fact redressed was still in mid-Atlantic. Closer to the Jersey Shore, British and American warships had met, and once the bullets started flying, there would be no turning back. * Next Week: Who fired the first shot? tpfcjf@comcast.net

THESE BOOTS: (Clockwise from above) Brice commands the stage during a sold-out performance, the first of multiple country concerts Joe Pop’s will present this summer. Drummer Michael Gray drives the beat from the kit as (from left) guitarist Travis Bettis, Brice and bassist Paul Rippee deliver a stadium-quality show to the enthusiastic throng.
Today’s Country Crosses Over Continued from Page 30, Sec. 2 The crowd showed crazy love during the “Love Like Crazy” finale, with constant singing and cheering throughout. Chants of “one more song!” brought the band right back out for encores. The hard exterior/soft interior dichotomy ubiquitous throughout Brice’s lyrics seemed never to get old to fans, particularly young women, many of whom savored the opportunity to don their best eye-catching cowgirl getups as if it were some kind of Halloween theme party. “This is the country life right here!” shouted Nicole Cerillo, 25, of Loveladies, taking a break from her one-woman line dancing and fits of giddy laughter. “This is real right here! You don’t get any more real than this!” “He’s awesome in person,” said Dawn Gilliland of Chatsworth, who was there with her husband, Mike. “He follows through. He had a very sensual, bluesy feeling that you didn’t expect.” “He made me cry,” said Pauline Mousley, 30, of Manahawkin, referring not to Brice, but to her husband, Chris, who made full use of the time during which Brice played one of his wife’s favorite songs for a romantic moment. “I was right up in the front and he was a couple rows back because he’s so tall, and when Lee Brice was singing ‘Crazy Girl’ (a song Brice penned for the Eli Young Band that became their first to hit No. 1 on the Billboard country charts back in January), he grabbed my hand, pulled his way forward, got down on his knees and was singing to me,” Pauline said. She left with half of a broken drumstick. The other half belonged to Regina Partlow, 21, of Egg Harbor Township. An avid concertgoer and heavy metal fan who grew up listening to country, Partlow was decidedly moved by her first country show. “I cannot wait until my next one. It was amazing, and I can say it’s a life-changing experience to go to a country concert. I’m the girl you see in the mosh pit. The first song he sang – ‘Hard 2 Love’ – that’s my favorite song from him, and it’s just awesome. He kept making eye contact, I got a pick, he touched my hand, and the drummer gave me his drumstick that I gave half of to (Mousley). I’ve met Ozzy Osbourne, I’ve met Rob Zombie, I’ve met Bon Jovi, but this is something totally different. I’m in heaven; I can’t ask for anything else.” “Nothing short of spectacular. It’s just great to have country music on the Island at a local club,” said Louis Born, 25, of Surf City, a tattooed guitarist in an original band whom friends often cannot believe is a huge country fan. “That’s the best part. Everyone’s like, ‘Lou! You listen to country?’ Straight-up country – that’s what I’m down with. You get in my car, it’s gonna be country – Tim McGraw, Zach Brown, Eli Young. This was huge, though. It’s more personal; it’s
one-on-one. I’m looking forward to the next couple concerts.” The next “Summer Country Concert Series” show at Joe Pop’s will host Chuck Wicks on June 20. Tickets and other information can be found at joepops.com/bands/countryconcert.html. Joe Pop’s owner Danielle Pessolano said the Lee Brice show sold to capacity. She talked about the impetus of the country concert series in general and why Wednesday nights were chosen for them. “We didn’t really feel like there was anything in the area that gave people this kind of entertainment at their fingertips,” said Pessolano. “We just thought there would be a demand for it, and we just wanted to satisfy the need. Obviously we had a great turnout the first show. People are super excited; tickets have already started selling for the second show, and so far it’s just been really positive. “All of the concerts are on off nights – we wanted to use this country series as kind of an addition of what we’re known for and not replace it. People come in on Friday or Saturday, they’re expecting a certain type of music. This is a special event.” * michaelmolinaro@thesandpaper.net
