THE SECOND TIME AROUND on LBI

THE BEACHCOMBER/Friday, June 29, 2012

By KELLEY ANNE ESSINGER ho wants to attend a garden tour from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on a day when the forecast calls for 100-degree weather? Well, maybe not everyone. But the select few who did show up for the tour were happy they braved the blistering sun. The annual Tour of Gardens, hosted by the Garden Club of Long Beach Island, was held on Thursday, June 21, the hottest and most humid day so far this year. But club members and tour-goers didn’t seem phased by the heat one bit. Besides, several of the houses featured on the tour supplied cold drinking water with wedged lemons and limes in cute little drinking pitchers. “We’re not canceling the tour because of the heat; there’s definitely a breeze,” Garden Club member Cathy Sutton said optimistically. Every year, the Garden Club showcases a handful of different gardens throughout the Island and sometimes on the mainland. With nearly 175 current club members, there are more than enough new gardens to explore each summer. Equipped with water bottles and sunscreen, representatives of The Beachcomber began the tour at Gretchen and John Coyle’s bayfront home in Beach Haven. Island-native plants such as beach plum, rugosa rose and rose mallow surrounded a vintage, white playhouse with green shutters, built in the mid 20th century by Nat Ewer, who in 1948 famously towed the schooner Lucy Evelyn to Beach Haven, where it was used as a gift shop until it burned down in February 1972. The anchor and ballast rocks from that vessel are also on display in the courtyard, underscoring the Coyles’ love of Island history. (They have long been active in the LBI Historical Association.) A small portion of the brick pathway even featured a piece of the old Baldwin Hotel that stood many years ago in the center of town. The property’s other native features included lush beds of vegetables and annuals, alongside other fruits and ﬂowers. “I don’t know a petunia from a daffodil. I work for my wife,” said John. “She tells me to prune this and prune that. So I prune this and prune that. And I still have to make my own lunch,” he said with a chuckle. “It’s been a lot of fun. We have to ﬁght the erosion on the water, but it makes things interesting. It makes my wife happy, and when your wife is happy, life can be eternal,” he added, grinning. The Beachcomber’s next stop was a few blocks north, on the ocean side of Beach Haven. Award-winning artist Pat Morgan and established writer Richard Morgan boasted a creative garden that was both colorful and en-

vironmentally sound. The first thing we noticed was the pinecone mulch, which Pat said helps suppress weeds and lasts throughout the year. Rounding the back, we found a shade garden covered with pine needles, which we learned helps deter slugs from the garden’s hosta lilies. A vegetable garden sprinkled with rose canes to keep bugs away sat near a slew of potted herbs. Flowers of all kinds, including euphorbia and coreopsis lead the way to a half-shaded chair, where Pat said she enjoys her mornings. “It’s very peaceful. It’s like a little sanctuary, separated from the vegetables and herbs and other useful stuff. It’s my pride and joy,” she said, beaming with delight. The Beachcomber was greeted by Necola, a friendly Manx cat at the home of Michael and Nancy Davis on Second Street in Beach Haven. Michael affectionately told us, “Every garden needs a cat.” Add in Pinkie (a no show during our stop), and this garden has two. The old-fashioned layout, filled with hydrangeas, roses, butterfly bushes, hybrid honeysuckles and more went perfectly with the house’s history. It was the fourth of the town landmark “seven sisters” matching houses with cedar shake siding, built by Floyd Cranmer in the 1920s. A small, trickling pond filled with goldfish and sunbathing toads kept the peace, surrounded by Leyland cypress and trumpet vines. A large bayberry bush and herb garden completed the picture-perfect courtyard. “It’s mating season, so the toads are very noisy. But they sing you to sleep,” said Michael. Stealing the show, on the other side of the house, was a colorful “bottle tree,” put together, explained Michael, with wooden stakes found lying amiss on the beach. It was the centerpiece of an adventurous garden segment with images of all kinds of creatures. Eager to see what gardeners on the other end of the Island had in store, The Beachcomber traveled all the way to Judy and Marc Lipman’s house in Barnegat Light, five blocks from the north end of the Island. The eclectic garden had it all: plants, trees, flowers, vines, bushes, fruit, vegetables and even quirky yard ornaments. Some of our favorite ornamentals included a flowerbed made out of an old wooden grill, and a rainbowpainted table in the shape of a fish, alongside a representative of Barnegat Lighthouse painted on a wooden fence slate. Because the homeowners happened to be out on the tour themselves, a listed inventory left open next to the water cups described everything to see in their backyard. There was even a blueprint for those who needed more of a visual map. “We only had a few bushes and

trees when we first moved in,” said Marc, when we caught up with him later on the tour. “It was a slow process. Sometimes we trade plants with other people. And now our garden has come a long way.” Directly next door, The Beachcomber took a heat break at the Edith Duff Gwinn garden at the Barnegat Light Museum, which is the premier garden maintained by members of the Garden Club. Sitting upon a bench beneath the shade, surrounded by playful butterflies, chirping birds and winding nature paths, we almost forgot about the 100-degree weather and the fact that we were working. “To me, this is what the epitome of a garden is all about,” said Neal Roberts, editor of The Beachcomber. “Conversation is fine, but sitting in a peaceful garden is the highest appreciation of solitude I can think of,” he expressed. After waking ourselves from a peaceful mediation, we made our way to Wendy and Bill Clarke’s seasonal home in Harvey Cedars. Maintained by David Ash Landscaping, the stunning shade garden consisted of daylilies, hydrangeas, holly shrubs and a delicate fern patch. Sun-loving peonies, roses, lavender, thyme and rosemary sat happily near the property edge on Kinsey Cove – a view Wendy said she loves admiring from her living room windows. “I’ve been here such a very long time – since I was 2½. I feel right at home,” she remarked. Our next stop was in North Beach at Dee Muoio’s house, where she graciously gave a couple of tour goers an up-close and personal look at a piece of just-pulled elephant garlic – just one of the many interesting species the garden offered. A large cold frame used for growing plants in chilly weather, a 100-foot row of strawberries, three kinds of cucumbers, four types of squash and four different kinds of beans were just some of the other wonderful ingredients Dee said she uses for cooking. More vegetables, herbs, fruit and flowers were also on the menu. “I plant a lot, and I hate when things get messed up. So I divide everything with wood and other bar-

riers,” she said. “I’m thinking about donating to St. Francis (Parish), and I also give stuff away to my neighbors and to my son,” she said, handing this reporter a basil plant. “From my garden to yours,” she said with a smile. Georgia and Dick Doyle’s oceanfront oasis in Surf City was The Beachcomber’s next stop. The garden was chockfull of bayberries and bayside beach plums, which Dick had a passion for even as a child. Driving around the Island with local gardening legend Martha Mack, looking for plants to relocate onto the dunes, is one of his fondest early childhood memories. Now award-winning members of the Wissahickon Garden Club, Georgia and Dick have created their own beautiful beach retreat. The garden tour ended for The Beachcomber at Mary Ann and Jim O’Neill’s house on the mainland, in the small development east of Manahawkin affectionately known to locals as Mud City (because of its vulnerability to high tide flooding). Sitting close to the bay, the colorful scenery boasted many saltwater-tolerant plants, including October daisies, rugosa roses and “Island hibiscus,” a rare variety uprooted from the surrounding marshes. Raised beds kept plants away from looming floodwaters. Everything in sight, including the planters, cold frames and patio furniture, were designed and crafted by Jim himself. If you missed out on this year’s Tour of Gardens, or you just can’t wait to attend next year ’s event, feel free to stop by one of the many grounds maintained by the Long Beach Island Garden Club, including the Barnegat Light Borough Old Coast Guard Station (now restored as the town hall on Seventh Street); the Beach Haven Library, Beach Avenue at Third Street; and the Community Gardens at the Holy Innocents’ Church, Marine and Pearl streets in Beach Haven.

Surflight Theatre

Two Beatles Sets, Comic Fireworks By RICK MELLERUP onsidering how many number one hits they had and how influential they were in the rock scene, it’s rather amazing to consider that The Beatles were only together for a decade, from 1960, when they formed in Liverpool, to 1970 when John, Paul, George and Ringo went their separate ways. They produced so much music in so short a time – and such different music, too. In retrospect it seems as if The Beatles were at least four bands over the years. There was the raw, blues-influenced, sound from their early years in Liverpool’s Cavern Club and the strip joints of Hamburg. Then came the lively, short, but polished hits of the Beatlemania/Ed Sullivan phase, songs such as “She Loves You” and “I Want to Hold Your Hand.” By 1965 the boys had begun experimenting with drugs, which their music reflected – just think of “Norwegian Wood” from Rubber Soul or “Yellow Submarine” from Revolver. The Beatles became fully psychedelic in 1967 with the release of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Finally, there was the “late period,” when works such as the White Album, Abbey Road and Let It Be broke from the “Sgt. Pepper” tradition of “concept albums” and started once again (with the exception of the medley in “Abbey Road”) to be mere collections of disparate songs, usually reflecting the individual styles of the band members, presaging the group’s breakup. So, possibly as many as four styles in a decade, and certainly two – the cute Mop Tops and the more serious, cutting edge, band of the second half of the decade. That leads to problems for Beatles tribute bands. Oh, you can play songs from each “era,” but how can you look like the Beatles of the early 1960s and the later Beatles at the same time? And if an audience is hopping in the aisles to the early stuff, like the teenage girls at the group’s Shea Stadium appearance (OK, modern audiences aren’t likely to get that loud!) do you want to slow things down with the more album-oriented songs? Well, the Mahoney Brothers, stars of “Long Live the Beatles,” reputed to be the longest-lasting Fab Four tribute band in the world, have

'Welcome Back' Sebastian With Jug Band Exhibit

n the mid-1960s, it would have been very difficult to turn on a pop music station without soon hearing something from the Lovin’ Spoonful. Between 1965 and 1967, the folk-influenced group led by frontman John Sebastian had seven top-10 hits, with the more notables including “Do You Believe in Magic?,” “You Didn’t Have to Be So Nice,” “Daydream” and “Summer in the City.” But before forming the Spoonful, Sebastian was active in the Greenwich Village folk scene, playing jug band music. It is a genre that got its name in the early 20th century because some of the instruments were fashioned out of jugs, washboards and washtubs, to go along with guitars, banjos and other acoustic instruments. The Long Beach Island branch of the Ocean County Library in Surf City is putting jug band music on center stage with a photo exhibit by his wife, Catherine Sebastian. On display through July, many of the images feature her husband in performance. “The photographs in this show are a result of years of shooting the bands and special guests for publicity photos, album covers and the family archives,” she said. A special attraction includes the screening of “Chasin’ Gus’ Ghost,” on Saturday, July 14, at 7 p.m. The film is a documentary on jug band music, featuring footage of Sebastian perform-

ing with various musicians. He and the film’s producer/director, Todd Kwait, will be on hand to speak about the film and answer questions. Seating is limited; reservations can be made by calling the branch at 609-494-2480 or logging on to theoceancountylibrary.org. Sebastian said he grew up in a musical family; his father, also named John Sebastian, was a classical harmonica player. “Jug band music was great because it combined so many different forms of music that I loved,” he said. “It could sound like blues, folk or country. It was fun.” Much of that influence could be heard on Spoonful songs. The group released seven albums and two greatest-hits collections before breaking up in 1969. They made several appearances on “The Ed Sullivan Show." “Compared to a lot of other rock ’n’ roll bands, our music was pretty easy to listen to,” said Sebastian. “It had a laidback feel.” Besides the Spoonful, Sebastian is also well-known for his 1976 hit “Welcome Back,” which was the theme to the sitcom “Welcome Back Kotter.” He said the title of the jug band documentary is a reference to Gus Cannon, who formed Gus Cannon’s Jug Stompers in the 1920s. In 1929, the band recorded “Walk Right In,” which was covered into a number one hit for the Rooftop Singers in early 1963.

“I would hope that this will draw a good amount of younger people,” Sebastian said. “Today, popular music is so overproduced and commercialized. With jug band music, we had a good time together when we were playing. It is good when people appreciate the roots from where various styles of music evolved.” Catherine Sebastian said she met her husband in Los Angeles in 1970 when she was working as a photographer and he was establishing a solo career. Sebastian performed as a solo artist at Woodstock in 1969. They married in 1971. “We really hit it off right away,” she said. “I certainly was familiar with his music with the Lovin’ Spoonful, but he opened me to a whole new experience with the jug band sound. It’s a sound that is uniquely American. After going to a few shows, I was hooked.” She said that in the late 1980s, John returned to his roots by forming his own jug band, appearing with prominent musicians such as Fritz Richmond and David Grisman, among others. “They’re also featured in the photos,” she said. Branch Manager Linda Feaster added, “We’re especially excited about this display and program. I think a lot of the younger people might not even know who John Sebastian is, and what an important part he played in folk and rock music.” — Eric Englund

Read Books, Win Prizes at Summer Reading Club By ERIC ENGLUND Long Beach Island Branch Ocean County Library Central Avenue, Surf City (609-494-2480) theoceancountylibrary.org

hen children come here for the summer, the beach, amusement parks and miniature golf are no doubt high on the priority list. But the Ocean County Library System says, “Don’t forget about us,” and invites youngsters to participate in the Summer Reading Club, which has begun registration and will continue to take signups into August. This year’s theme for children up to age 12 is “Dream Big: Read.” For teens, the theme is “Own the Night.” “We have children who live here year ’round and vacationers who have been part of the club,” said Carly Shilling, youth services librarian. “It’s another opportunity to meet new friends. Even though kids aren’t in school, they should stay interested in reading and keep their minds fresh.” As a special incentive, every child up to 12 years of age who signs up will be entered in a rafﬂe for a library gift bag. They get to spin a prize wheel for

every five books they read and also will receive a certificate. Teens will have a chance to enter a raffle for a big bag of candy when they sign up, and they earn a certificate by reading three books. But absorbing books is just one aspect of the club, as there will be reading clubthemed programs scheduled throughout the summer. Contact Shilling at extension 7109 for registration information and a complete list of activities. If you haven’t yet stocked up on reading materials for long days on the beach, you can take advantage of the Friends of the Library book sale Friday, June 29, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday, June 30, from 9 a.m. to noon. The meeting room will have tables with many varieties of fiction and nonfiction titles, and it’s more than just old stuff as browsers can find books still on best-seller lists. There are also children’s books, audiotapes and movies available. On Tuesday, July 3, the Ocean County Health Department will hold a free blood pressure screening from 11 a.m. to noon. Appointments are not necessary. The department holds the clinic on the first Tuesday of each month. Beach Haven Public Library Third Street and Beach Avenue

beachhavenpubliclibrary.org Youngsters can begin signing up for the summer story hour, which starts on Wednesday, July 18, 10:30 a.m. and runs through Aug. 22. The group is divided into ages 3 to 5 and 6 to 8. The library plans its annual book sale Thursday, July 12, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m.; and Friday and Saturday, July 13 and 14, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. If the weather is nice, people will be able browse through tables indoors and outside. “There will be plenty of fiction and nonfiction titles available,” said Jean Frazier, library director. “Some of the books might still be on the best-sellers list. The proceeds help us purchase books because we always need to update our materials in circulation. It’s one of the biggest events of the year. We’re hoping many people will take advantage of this sale. It also might give people a chance to see our library for the first time, and maybe they’ll become regular customers.” During the summer, library hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p. m. Monday to Saturday, as well as evening hours, 6 to 8 p.m., on Monday and Thursday. Q

Beach Campfire Friday at the Light

et “s’more” from your visit to Barnegat Lighthouse State Park tonight and enjoy a campfire beach concert plus an evening climb up our historic lighthouse. The Ocean County Parks and Recreation Department hosts its annual summer campﬁre concert on Friday, June 29 from 7-9 p.m. And the N.J. Division of Parks and Forestry will open the lighthouse for a sunset or evening walk-through, always a great opportunity to enjoy the Jersey Shore’s most recognizable landmarks. Come a bit early to ﬁnd a spot in the parking lot. This event has typically drawn several hundred people; the crowd size was actually one reason it is now only held once a season, rather than the three times a summer when the program started a decade ago. Bring your own lawn chairs or blankets. And don’t forget to buy a bag of marshmallows and some roasting sticks. You do know how to make those famous “s’mores,” don’t you? (It really takes a team to accomplish.) A helper holds two graham cracker halves ready with one segment of a regular size Hershey choc-

olate bar. When the marshmallow on your stick turns golden brown on one side, your partner takes the two cracker halves with chocolate and squeezes the marshmallow off your stick. Like it? Well, have s’more! The program begins with the Basement Musicians Guild concert. Marshmallow roasting will be allowed once the campfires die down to glowing coals. Adults are expected to keep their own children orderly when near the fire.

‘Guv’ Codey Recounts Life in New Jersey Politics By DAVID FOSTER et’s get the big stuff out of the way really fast: I don’t care whether you are liberal, conservative or somewhere else, or whether you can’t stand the sight and sound of Rachel Maddow on TV, or whether you find issues of National Security and Constitutional Powers just a bit beyond you and maybe better left to the experts, you must – repeat, must – read this soundly-researched, carefully-argued and altogether compelling book, Drift: The Unmooring of American Military Power (Crown Publishing, 2012). For your Independence Day reading, this explosive little volume (252 pages, plus notes) is as urgent as Paul Revere’s ride, as rousing as Thomas Jefferson’s Declaration and as damning as Tom Paine’s Crisis. That Maddow, an Emmy-award winning MSNBC commentator since 2008 with a doctorate from Oxford, has written a best seller is no surprise; her lucidity, scholarship and gift for phrase are familiar hallmarks. But her obvious liberal bias, combined with occasional (and usually well-justified) smart-ass barbs, can be off-putting for discussions of great issues. Not so here: she starts with basic, time-tested Constitutional principles, buttressed by clear admonitions from the Founders, and shows how, from Reagan down to the present, with little debate or even conscious thought – no vast conspiracy, only thoughtless apathy – we have become an over-funded National Security State, drifting from one questionable war to another, draining our resources and marginalizing the young men and women we ask to fight. Folks, we’ve got trouble! Maddow’s story is told in simple, straightforward terms: Early on in our history, James Madison – no softheaded peace-nik on anyone’s scale – warned: “Of all the enemies to public liberty, war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few.” For our first century and a half, right down through Korea, this admonition was heeded. The checks and balances of the Constitution were designed by Madison and his cohorts to make it difficult to get into these messes and that’s the way we did it. Then came Viet Nam and the whole ugly business of persuading the citizenry that we could have guns and

butter, war and normalcy all at once, if we would just leave it up to the President and not ask embarrassing, and Constitutionally-required, questions. The hangover from that debacle brought Congress back into the game with a series of laws to prevent it happening again. But, as she shows in chapter after painful chapter, we soon began the drift – with Reagan and Iran-Contra, on through Clinton and the Balkans, and finally to the Bush/Obama post 9/11 adventures and their seemingly endless future. And all to no apparent geo-political advantage, while both sides of Congress wring their collective hands and keep voting a strangling, waste-andpork-crammed military and security budget that can only make our adversaries smile. Maddow makes her case with bracing clarity, unanswerable evidence and plenty of the scornful wit we have come to expect from her; when I got to her almost incredible tales of the expense, creakiness and potentially-suicidal horror of our vaunted nuclear arsenal, for example, I found myself weeping with rage and laughing at our shared stupidity on the same page. With only a stint on Air America Radio before coming to MSNBC, this is her first appearance in print but it certainly won’t be her last; she puts the rest of the Washington gasbags and finger-pointers to shame. And it’s no surprise that the book has earned the grudging endorsement of conservative commentators, including a jacket blurb from, of all people, Fox News CEO Roger Ailes. A major part of the book’s impact comes from Ms. Maddow’s firm, nolynch-mobs stance. She’s not here to tar and feather villains. Oh, sure, Dick Cheney is in for plenty of licks and she reserves special scorn for some of the super Hawkish think-tankers, in and out of the White House, but the blame is really on us all – we who have stood by and let our resources and our direction drift out of any Constitutional control in the name of the Nation being Tough on Something-orOther, while we kept busy with what we like to do. However, she doesn’t just raise the flag of alarm here. She closes with a step-by-step prescription of what can, and should be, done to get us back on track – primarily, by getting rid of the notion that Presidents can do whatever they feel like because – as we have come to realize – it really feels good for a President to go to war!

This Museum Tale Has Teeth You Don’t Want to Mess With

t’s been so long ago since the movie “Jaws” shook up ocean swimmers in the 1970s, it may be said that story has faded some from public memory. But around here, it is always close at hand. The reason? Peter Benchley’s famous novel Jaws is based on the near two weeks of terror that began in July 1916 a couple hundred yards off Beach Haven. Before it was over, two men had bled to death in the ocean, one off Beach Haven and the other off Spring Lake, and a third man was mortally wounded in a brackish creek off Raritan Bay as he sought to rescue a young boy who earlier disappeared in the creek amid a pool of blood. The boy’s body was recovered the next day. One of his swimming buddies had narrowly escaped the rogue shark’s pursuit. Beaches were closed across the New Jersey coast while shark hunters tried to ﬁnd the culprit, or culprits. Needless to say, in the local papers the “man-eater shark” had knocked World War I news right off the front pages.

Since Last Summer...

Beachfill and Bridge Future; Gables Survives

hile beach replenishment was underway again this winter and spring, this time in Brant Beach, the massive project does not appear likely to reach Beach Haven or Ship Bottom, where officials have failed to secure necessary private easements from oceanfront property owners. In Beach Haven, only 61 of the necessary 96 easements have been voluntarily signed. In Ship Bottom, the number is only 15 of the 45 needed. “I’d say right now it’s a dead issue,” Ship Bottom Mayor William Huelsenbeck remarked in October. The Army Corps of Engineers’ Storm Damage Reduction Project for the Island started in December 2006 in Surf City, and later encompassed most of Harvey Cedars in 2009-2010. A $16.7 million phase got underway in March in Brant Beach, where 26 blocks of contiguous easements were signed (though not enough easements have been obtained for beach replenishment to proceed in other township sections). Before this latest work got started, though, some Islanders began questioning whether the recent beach fill experience in Harvey Cedars was a warning about creating a steep dropoff and rough new shorebreak that may have caused several swimmer injuries in 2011. Surfing columnist Jon Coen in The SandPaper wrote that it is about time locals took a stand if they believe the beach fill work will cause more harm than it should. “And let’s not forget that 4,193 people signed a (website) petition asking LBI’s mayors to consider ‘alternative nourishment techniques and designs’ to the projects back in 2004,” he wrote in November. His words stirred the pot a bit. Surf City Councilman Peter Hartney wrote a sharp rebuttal, dismissing Coen’s statement that the beach fill projects so far caused “a general degradation of the beachgoing experience in Surf City and Harvey Cedars.” On the contrary, Hartney defended the project as an improvement in Surf City that has, in part, been validated in that “beach badge sales have risen during the time Surf City has been the beneficiary of a replenished beach.” The councilman noted that prior to the work 5½ years ago, the beachfront between 18th and 22nd streets was nearly covered during high tide. Also on the environment, state Environmental Commissioner Bob Martin announced in November that Barnegat Bay would be the subject of 10 studies, including water quality, marine life and the salt marsh habitat. In some instances, subject data will be the first collected since the bay was studied in the 1970s. “The results of these studies will fill in data gaps and arm us with critical information that will help define future actions we must take to restore the bay and bring it back from many decades of decline,” Martin said. Clean Ocean Action and a coalition of more than 130 organizations announced in May that they hope to

rally the public in August for a mass protest against planned offshore seismic tests to search for oil or natural gas deposits under the seabed. Not only does the testing seriously threaten the health of whales and dolphins, which depend on auditory senses for survival, the testing is also seen as a precursor to applications for offshore drilling. “The testing makes the moratorium on oil drilling in the Atlantic less meaningful and makes the possibility of drilling off our coast more real,” warned Jeff Tittel, director of the New Jersey Sierra Club. Cleanocean-

zone.org is the site to learn about the August campaign, which is backed locally by Alliance for a Living Ocean, ReClam the Bay, Garden Club of LBI and the LBI Foundation of the Arts and Sciences. The New Year got started with news that the Causeway bridge projects are pushed back to 2013, when the $128 million Phase I – a new main bridge – will go to bid. Local legislators Sen. Chris Connors and Assembly members Brian Rumpf and DiAnne Gove expressed “profound disappointment” in the state Department

of Transportation’s delay in light of “the desperate need for this project to move forward as soon as possible.” Building a second main bridge, plus major overhaul of the three smaller bridges, is estimated at $234 million. Also decided: the “string of pearls” lighting that made the main bridge unique in 1959 will remain only as LED lighting for the outer north side of the original bridge and the outer south side of its new twin span. Lighting for the road surface will be from conventional overhead lampposts. Continued on Page 18

Shore Almanac

Tantrums & Freckles on Our Ornery Sun By ELINOR DEWIRE any of us recall drawing amazing childhood pictures of big yellow suns with spiked rays sticking out of the circumference. Adults encouraged us to include a smiley face to portray the sun as happy. Indeed, the words sun, sunny, and sunshine evoke cheerful thoughts. Who doesn’t know the popular song, “You Are My Sunshine.” If you’ve been watching and reading the news this year you know the sun isn’t really perfect. From time to time – about every 11 years in fact – it has temper tantrums and blemishes on its face. This year marks the peak of the 11-year sun cycle. Our favorite star is experiencing intense internal activity, resulting in amazing solar explosions called flares. Solar flares eject plasma (a very hot, rarefied state of matter) into the solar wind. This gets carried to Earth and can interfere with space missions, disrupt electronics, and knock out power grids. But flares also cause beautiful displays called aurora at the north and south poles. These mesmerizing Northern Lights and Southern Lights bedazzle us with their beauty. There’s another bonus with increased solar activity: sunpots! These curious blotches on the sun are fascinating, and they’re easy enough to find with some simple, inexpensive equipment. But care must be taken to observe them. It’s very important not to look directly at the sun to see sunspots. The bright light can damage your eyes in only a few seconds and leave you with a splitting headache. Sir Isaac Newton learned this the hard way in the late 17th century when he tried to observe the sun with the naked eye. He was blinded for several days and suffered an excruciating headache. Even sunglasses aren’t sufficient to protect your eyes when viewing the sun. To safely observe the sun and see those enigmatic sunspots, use #14 arc welder’s glass, an item that can be purchased at most welding supply stores. Look for a piece that’s at least four inches wide so you can observe with both eyes at once. It will take away most of the glare and make the face of the sun, called the photosphere, greenish in appearance, but the details of the gaseous surface will come into view. You also can buy solar eclipse viewers at science stores and online sites. They work the same way arc welder’s glass does, but are more flimsy and less expensive. Whatever you choose, make sure it’s rated safe for sun observation. There are many sunspots this year. To find them safely, position the arc welder’s glass or sun viewer in front of your eyes first, and then slowly pan up the sky to the sun. A sprinkling of sun freckles will come into view! As their name implies, sunspots are little dark spots on the sun’s surface. During the sun’s active cycle, which hap-

NASA

These marks on the sun’s face indicate cooler spots. But cool is a relative word when talking about the sun. pens to be going full-throttle just now, there will be many of them, often in groups. In less active times, there are fewer and sometimes none. These marks on the sun’s face indicate cooler spots. But cool is a relative word when talking about the sun. Even a sunspot is way hotter than we can imagine, and the interior of the sun is unbelievably hot, as is the corona, or halo, around the sun. The interior of our star is a violent place, a true ball of ﬁre hotter than anything else in the solar system. How else could it heat up our planet from a distance of about 93,000,000 miles away? It’s millions of degrees hot. Our planet gets only about one-billionth of the total energy produced by the sun. The rest goes off into space, colliding with the other planets and asteroids and heating up meteors and comets, before gradually dying away in the cold outer fringe of our solar system. It’s good to get only a small fraction of that intense solar energy. Any more and Earth might fry to crisp. In fact the smallest change

would raise our global temperature enough to send us into a bout of warming from which we’d never recover. Fortunately, the sun is a stable star, and Earth is ideally positioned in the solar system. Like baby bear’s porridge in the Goldilocks adventure, Earth is “just right.” We have nothing to fear from sunspots. They’re simply curious and fascinating. If you observe the sun with your arc welder’s glass every day for a few days, you’ll see the same sunspots but in different places. They move around on the face of the sun. This happens because the photosphere is constantly in ﬂux due to the sun’s rotation. It spins from east to west, the opposite of Earth. Because it’s a ball of gas, it spins differentially, meaning the equator of the sun spins faster than its poles. Sunspots along the solar equator tend to move the most each day, while those nearer the solar poles move less. The sun doesn’t seem so big to us observers here on Earth. Its disk measures only about ½ degrees across – about the same as the full moon. Yet we know it’s a gigantic celestial body. Its diameter is really 864,000 miles, about 109 times as wide as Earth’s. This means as you look at the sun through safety glass you could imagine 109 Earths lined up across its face. A whopping one million Earths could ﬁt inside the sun!

Some of the sunspots we see on the sun are about the size of Earth itself, but many are bigger. To coin a fitting word, the sun is astronomical in size! To detail sunspots further, take note of their varying shades. Some parts of them are darker and some parts are lighter. The dark center is called the umbra (Latin for “shadow”); the lighter edges are called the penumbra (meaning “almost a shadow”). These varying colors reflect changes in the sun’s magnetic field. This is what sunspots are all about, punctures or breaks in the web-like magnetic field of the sun where it loops up over the surface. During the sun’s most active period, its magnetic field reverses. And that brilliant sunlight for which you need eye protection? It’s been traveling at a speed of about 186,000 miles per second to reach your eyes. The journey takes a little more than eight seconds from sun to Earth. In a sense, you’re looking at old light, albeit only eight seconds old. The light of the night stars takes a much longer journey, sometimes upward of hundreds or thousands of years. They are the distant lampposts in the universe. Our sun: it’s just around the cosmic corner! Q Elinor DeWire is the author of numerous articles and books on weather, astronomy, and maritime topics.

21 THE BEACHCOMBER/Friday, June 29, 2012

1962: Diary of Destruction Editor’s Note: Carl and Dorothea Sjostrom owned an ocean to bayfront strip of land just north of Harvey Cedars and built two small cottages there, one nestled safely behind a large dune and the other fronting the bay. Following are excerpts from Dorothea’s diary, written at their home in Grovers Mills, during and after the Great March Storm of 1962. The diary and photos were shared with The Beachcomber courtesy of Debbie Dooling. — Margaret Thomas Buchholz arch 6: Tuesday. Snow and high winds. The weather report said to expect very strong winds, coastal alert on high tides. I spent morning writing necessary letters, and on the phone. Had not had the radio on since noon. Many schools closed because of storm warnings. Sure was blowing. 3:15 Carter Harris phoned. “Have you heard? Things are bad at the shore. Chief of Police and two others have lost their lives. It just came over the radio.” 3:30 Called Jack Vosseller. Talked to both Jack and Elsie. Elsie first. “It really is awful here. First time I ever had waves on the front lawn (they are on the bayside). Just pray that this wind changes before the next high tide.” Jack: “I have just come in and things are very bad. Already three houses are gone in the center of Harvey Cedars and one on 84th Street. Haven’t been up your direction since morning. Things okay then.” 9:00 By now, we hadn’t missed a news broadcast, but learned very little except that the shore was in for a bad time. Carl called Jack. He answered in a very low voice. “Can’t talk,” he said. “I am afraid to frighten my wife and son. Tell your wife I’ll call her in the morning.” Just his manner scared us. We called Jay Doughty in Barnegat Light. Bad there, but they were okay. Had lost a lot of beach. Called Bill Dooling to see if Bill or Dash had heard from anyone there, but Bill said that in view of the officials who had lost their lives, he was sure the Ralph Parkers were too upset to call them. Still the wind did not change. March 7: Wednesday. Whatever plans I had for the day were cancelled. I would not leave until Jack phoned. So I waited, having the Philadelphia radio station on all the time. No phone calls from the shore. Surf City under two feet of water. Two complete cuts in island. One at Bergen Avenue, near our old cottage, and one taking all that stood between 79th and 80th streets. Navy helicopters evacuating all from Harvey Cedars and Barnegat Light to the mainland. Army flying in water. Red Cross has set up two units at Manahawkin. Four more lives lost – two couples being rescued swept away by waves. Only helicopters can get to Long Beach Island. Fort Dix sending Ducks (amphibious vehicles). No one can get on the island for at least two days. Regular channel now running, making Harvey Cedars a complete island. It was Alice’s birthday, and we called Steve. Told him how we knew nothing about how the cottages had fared, but hoped it was okay because of our high elevation. Saw storm pictures on TV mostly about Steel Pier going. Well, Atlantic City always does get the headlines. March 8: Thursday. The sun shone again, not as brightly as yesterday, when

it had been so hard to just sit and wait. It would have been so much better if one could just run down and see. WCAU Philadelphia had a running commentary, also had asked people from the disaster areas to phone in, particularly officials. Mayor Blair from Ship Bottom was on constantly. He said that the Navy helicopters were trying to take the people from Barnegat Light, but they refused to go even though they had no electricity, heat, water or phone. Anything they needed could only get to them by being flown in, and the Navy could not do that indefinitely. Tides still high, northeast wind still blowing. All had to be evacuated from Harvey Cedars. Another cut through the town. Television in the evening had special picture, mostly from points south of Long Beach Island. Carl talked to State Police Lt. Jerry Dollar. He said he had 20 men on the Island. He’d try to get some news for us. Called us back around 10:30 PM. No information available on property, only on persons, which, at this time, was right. Heard that Glenna Wilcox from Dutch Neck had flown over the island. Tried to reach her by phone, but could not. Program on television interviewing persons from Harvey Cedars. Our painter, Bill Pustel, was on. He had lost everything: house, business, and both his trucks. There was one cut right in front of his home. Next was the Coyle Family from the Sink or Swim Shop. They had lost everything. They had been evacuated and we felt so sorry for the 16-year-old daughter who had to leave her dog behind. Steve called us. He read in the New York Times how bad things were. He suggested that we fly over and see what had happened. All broadcasts are now saying that no one can come until next week – even property owners. March 9: Friday. Radio still telling of complete evacuation of northern end of the island. The ocean is still washing over many spots, particularly in Harvey Cedars. 11:30 Phone call from Alice Tuck. She had asked Glenna about our places and that Glenna had particularly looked for them and could find nothing. I was terribly upset. One always hopes. Later talked to Glenna. She said she might be wrong, but she was pretty sure neither house was there. 4:30 Call from Jerry Dollar. Captain Howard Lambertson from Beach Haven had flown over and stopped the copter right over where our places were supposed to be. Nothing. I argued with Jerry about going down. Glenna had said that property owners were being allowed to go on the island. He said that nothing could move beyond Surf City, no place to park cars, needed every bit of space for heavy equipment. He suggested getting a boat and coming over from Barnegat that way. He said no one was allowed on in order to prevent looting. March 10: Saturday. Up early. Called Princeton Airport to get a plane. Came over the ocean at Island Beach and we followed the coast south. At Barnegat Light, we could see some damage. As we came down the beach, the destruction became worse and worse. In our area, on the beach, in addition to our house, Silvermaster’s big house, Wolper’s, Bid-

dle’s and Gross’s were completely gone. Gross had spent thousands putting in a very substantial bulkhead last summer. We proceeded on down and Harvey Cedars is so devastated it will be a wonder if it can ever be re-established. There are several cuts right through, and one is a regular inlet at 79th Street. Small’s, (now Sisters of Charity) which we had always thought was indestructible, was a mess. One house and the bulkhead were gone, the big house was on its side. We circled around and came up the bay and flew over our property. We saw the second floor of our bay house at an angle on the sand with cinderblocks protruding on the north side. The sand from the dunes, which were very substantial, had washed over all the poison ivy, bayberry bushes, and bay lots and formed a spit out in the bay, almost eliminating the cove and engulfing the adjoining houses on the bay with sand. The roof of our dune cottage and the top of the Biddle house were in the sand on the oceanside lot lying close to the road. Otherwise the destruction is complete. In the southern part of Harvey Cedars, our former house on Passaic Ave., all the small houses which were built in back of it, Blai’s, Amram’s and the adjoining houses on both sides were completely gone; only a row of sticks showed where the bulkhead had been. All the way to Surf City, dunes had been washed down and replaced with gullies to the bay. The houses still standing generally were on stilts with the ocean washing right under them. Heavy equipment was working on the road to make it again passable. We made another sweep over our place, took another look at our lot; it was just as devastated as before. We were back at the Princeton Airport before noon after a nice trip, but heartbreaking. March 18: Many phone calls and many letters from family and friends. As one wrote, it is almost as if there were a death in the family. Well, maybe not, just the end of an era. Met Steve at Newark Airport and drove down the Garden State to Manahawkin. Had to stop at Boro Hall there to get pass to the island. First roadblock on other side of causeway. Down to Long Beach Township Boro Hall in Brant Beach for next pass, then up the island to Surf City to the next roadblock. Went through two more showing passes already received and seeing all the damage as we went. We went as far as Harvey Cedars old Coast Guard Station. At this roadblock,

we were told we could not go any farther without a HC pass. We asked for Bob Van Meter and then everything was okay. We had to park our car on a side street there and then be taken north by jeep. This was a very sad ride. The devastation was horrible. Where our old cottage stood on Passaic Ave., not a thing anywhere. Both bay and oceanside completely wiped out. That area and a bit farther on are entirely gone. As we came into the center, it is okay for a couple of blocks and then again complete devastation, cars, and houses, everything piled up on top of each other. We bumped over the newly covered cut in the center of town, and amid more destruction, ﬁnally made our way to what would have been our place had it been there and had there been any road. We were dropped off and told to hail another jeep when we were ready to come back. We climbed over sand hills made to let the jeeps pass and began investigating our property. The most obvious was the top of the Bay Cottage. It sits there on top of lots of debris, and it looks pretty good. We climbed the sloping deck and Steve got in the window. One can hardly imagine the inside. One partition wall was resting on the metal frame of the chaise lounge. The slant of the whole place gave one a feeling of being slightly seasick. Everything is askew, and one looks down the stair well at piles of junk oozing up through the opening. The new addition is the best preserved. This is the one section which seems worth salvaging. Even that did not look too good to me. We crossed what used to be the road. Near the road is all that is left of our nice Dune Cottage. The roof is at a queer angle and underneath, if one crawls in, there are the remains of the living room ﬂoor and a little farther back, some of the kitchen. The cupboards and sink are being held up by the refrigerator, which is jammed across what were the two sides of the kitchen. Not a stick of furniture is around. No dishes are left in the cupboards. Our washing machine lies a few hundred yards away on the next property. The electric stove is down under the refrigerator. One of the frames of the west side picture window remains and those nice drapes, torn and shredded, are blowing dismally. It is a very sad sight. Steve discovered one picture that is whole. I am not sure just where Continued on Page 22

Splashback Continued from Page 21 he found it. I was miserable and cold so when I saw a jeep, I took it to back to our car and waited there. I had had enough for one day. March 24: Went to the Island. Need only two passes now, and not so many road blocks, but they are still doing a good job keeping out the sightseers, and any possible looters. All the Army Engineers heavy equipment was working. Stopped at the Esso Station and saw Jack Vosseller who showed us the results of the new cut, it had been filled in, and said how impossible it was to live in HC at the present, nothing, except electricity in spots. At our property heavy equipment was filling in a big lake that had formed back of the artificial sand dune that had again just been pushed up. It is an arbitrary line and evidently the ocean is quite arbitrary about it because it keeps knocking it down. Where our house and a few others used to be, is a lake, salt water, I guess, almost as big as Grovers Mill Pond. The ground from this down to the road is all soft and slushy. Not a very encouraging situation. I am still rather discouraged, but Carl is going right ahead planning for the future and plans to have a cottage on the bay for this summer. He is even optimistic enough to think it is almost time to begin looking for the boats. March 25: No more bulletins. We have mover, a piling man, and a builder so do plan to come see us this summer, if the Army Engineers finally convince the ocean that it is not wanted on our side of those silly dunes. Q

Shore Is Fun Editor’s Note: First in a series that journals our feature writer’s new experience with some of the Jersey Shore’s best choices in summer recreation. By KELLEY ANNE ESSINGER ednesday morning on June 20 started out like any other, ordinary day. My alarm clock buzzed at 5 a.m., and I jumped out of bed as chipper as a bird, ready to greet the day. Well, most of that is true. I did wake up at 5 a.m., though that’s a very rare occurrence for me, and I was giddy about the day’s upcoming events. But I wasn’t feeling quite as peppy as a bird. I was, however, gearing up for a two-hour “Early Bird” ornithology boat tour at Cattus Island County Park in Toms River. After guzzling down some coffee, putting on my best nature touring clothes: shorts and a light-colored Tshirt to deﬂect the sun’s hot rays (the forecast predicted over 90-degree weather), I drove up the Garden State Parkway to Toms River. Upon entering the park grounds with time to spare, the worry of missing the 7 o’clock boat melted away. Surrounded by beautiful, lush vegetation and sparkling bay water, I couldn’t think of anything more soul soothing than spending the morning with nature. Betty “C,” a six-passenger pontoon boat, pulled away from its Silver Bay dock just after 7 a.m. with exactly six passengers on it, including naturalist Pat Korotky, who has been working at the county park for the past 20 years, and Captain Mike Marotta, who’s better known for manning the park department’s Bay Cruiser tour boat. “I used to drive the boat, but that was before the county tightened up the rules. Now we have licensed captains,” said Pat, motioning to Captain Mike. “It used to be whoever could drive the boat, drove the boat,” she added with a chuckle. “I’ve been working with the county for about 10 years,” remembered Mike. “I drove the boat we rented out to the park before the park even bought it. My wife, Diane, is the captain of (Betty “C”). It’s a nice job,” he added placidly.

Binoculars were handed out immediately to those who hadn’t brought their own pair – a necessity for bird watching. After spending the first fifteen minutes trying to adjust the focus of the viewfinder, Pat kindly informed me that I was wearing the binoculars backwards. (I thought those birds seemed rather far away!) Slowly motoring past the marsh, where the county park recently received permission from the state to maintain a no-wake zone in the effort to minimize erosion of the bank caused by fast-moving boats, Pat pointed out a number of birds. Belted kingfishers were spotted zipping about, and swallows were seen nesting on the sides of the eroded cliffs of the marshland. Pat supplemented the tour with her copy of The Sibley Guide to Birds so we could all see pictures of the different species and better understand what we were looking at.

thoughts and images of bubbly-sounding wrens, Great Black-backed Gulls (the largest of the gull species in the world), Blue Herons and terns. Beautiful swans were also spotted, but Pat explained that they take habitat away from many of the native species that have been here since colonial times. Luckily, the swan population is not out of control. But according to Pat, population of the Canada Geese is out of control. She said they’re a nuisance, which is unfortunate because no one really knew they would reproduce so much. Another species especially overpopulated is the Sea Nettle Jellyfish, which of course isn’t a bird at all. But Pat said it’s an important issue and people are trying to figure out why there are so many of them. Some researchers happen to think they’re showing up due to an increase of nitrogen in Barnegat Bay from people pollution such as pesticides, dog waste and fertilizers. According to Pat, regulations for slow-release fertilizers are a future possibility. Although we heard and saw some disheartening news along the trip, all of the passengers were able to put that aside and enjoy the beauty of the tour. Luckily, everyone stayed nice and cool – a perk of being on the water. “I liked it,” said Judith Lichon, a Bergen County resident who enjoyed her first bird watching tour. “I loved seeing all the birds and just looking at the marsh. It’s so peaceful, and the boat ride was so nice. I’m surprised more people didn’t come out today. I’m just glad I did,” she added. “I’ve been going on these tours whenever I can for the past 10 years,” said Ann Bogdon. “My children are in the junior naturalists program here, and they get up-close and personal with nature. It’s great.” Ornithology boat tours at Cattus Island County Park will take place on Wednesday, July 11; Monday, July 23; Thursday, August 9, Wednesday, August 29, Thursday, September 13; and Thursday, September 27. Tours will run from 7 to 9 a.m. and 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Registration is $7 in advance. For more information, visit the Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation, or call 1-877-OC-PARKS.

James Audubon who campaigned for an end to the unhampered slaughter of birds. A few minutes later, a fellow passenger sighted an osprey sitting on one of the park’s manmade nesting platforms, built by park members or local volunteer clubs. It had been dressed up with large sticks, plastic, string and whatever else the birds found suitable for a home. Both the mother and the father of the species take turns guarding the nest, though the mother is usually there 70 percent of the time. Ospreys were nearly extinct in the 1960s when New Jersey only had 16 pairs. Pat said the birds had been killed after the use of a DDT insecticide to rid mosquitoes. The insecticide seemed to have created a disturbance in the metabolism of calcium and many ospreys couldn’t produce eggs. DDT insecticides were banned in 1973, and the increase of ospreys has since then grown to 498 pairs – just a couple pairs short of the 500-pair historical level. An excited Pat even said she was going to learn how to band the birds, a technique used to aid in the study of avian wildlife. In the distance, a pair of tangled balloons was spotted struggling in the estuary, which everyone was pretty upset to see. After detangling the deflated party balloons from the grass, Pat explained her dismay for the litter. “Marsh is a good filter, but it also filters out debris into the bay, and birds and fish get tangled it in and can die,” she said. The tour moved on to happier

Since Summer Continued from Page 18 50 percent of the goal at the midpoint of the two-year fundraising campaign. Alliance for a Living Ocean has a new executive director. Christopher Huch, 24, in January took the reins of the Island’s nonproﬁt environmental group that is just as old as he is. An LBI surfer and holder of a bachelor’s degree and masters degree in marine science from the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey, the Pinelands Regional high school alumni also worked seven years with the Jacques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve on Great Bay. Alliance for a Living Ocean has a new ally in the ocean protection campaign. Surf Stewards is a new organization intended to bring the surfer community “together to support the cause for clean beaches, oceans and waves,” said Huch, the new ALO director. By late spring, 58 surfers had pledged their support at the ALO website livingocean.org. And hoorah for our beachfront. Long Beach Island was voted the third best beach in New Jersey in an annual poll sponsored by the New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium. Wildwood and Ocean City beaches received more fan support. ReClam the Bay was invited to an April reception in New York City to receive the U.S. EPA Environmental Quality Award, the highest honor given to private organizations working on environmental improvement programs. See reclamthebay.org to learn about this season’s programs. Here’s what else has been happening since the end of last summer: Barnegat Light A bayside gazebo project in memory of the late Jim Morrison, co-owner of Kubel’s and a town councilman, got a big reception from locals who raised more than $13,000 at a late winter dinner-auction fundraiser held at Kubel’s. The gazebo project, dedicated in June at the West 10th Street summer concert site, was aided by more than $42,000

in private donations, “truly an expression of love for Jim by many,” said his widow, Arlene. Beach Haven The vacated Tuckerton Lumber building at 100 North Bay Avenue was issued a land use board approval to open as a year-round Italian restaurant, but representatives of other restaurants – Buckelew’s, Barry’s Do Me a Flavor and Uncle Will’s – complained to the borough council that the decision was not in the best interest of the existing business community. Buckalew’s Restaurant and Tavern owner Jay Cranmer later announced he and other business owners had appealed the decision in court. The corner site was the longtime location of the Colonial Theater. Tuckerton Lumber opened its modern building in

2005 but closed the business in 2010. After the land use board decision, more than 30 local business owners joined Cranmer to form a coalition named Beach Haven Future. “We need to have rules and regulations that will promote, without unnecessary bureaucratic morass and delay, the development of existing and new businesses,” Cranmer remarked in May. Added Barry Baxter of Barry’s Do Me a Flavor restaurant: “There are plenty of vacant business buildings in town, and perhaps we need to ﬁnd better opportunities for business growth.” The vision of Beach Haven Future drew some response in letters to The SandPaper editor. Resident Mary Wischusen had sharp words for “some of these businesses and their offensive patrons.” She was talking about the nightclubs, and the local 24-hour restaurant that seems to regularly draw patrons who have just ﬁnished their late-night drinking. Added resident Holly Fazelat: “Families, who choose to vacation and spend their money in Beach Haven businesses because of the town’s family-friendly distinction, are being edged out by the drunken, debauched and oft-times illegal behavior of the patrons of only a few establishments.” And resident James P. Stanek took offense at the leaders of Beach Haven Future for its recent lawsuit against the town land use board because the board had approved a new restaurant application for the vacant Tuckerton Lumber building. Harvey Cedars A state appellate court ruled in March that Harvey Cedars must compensate oceanfront homeowners Harvey and Phyllis Karan $375,000 because part of their East 68th Street property was “taken” from them in the 2010 beach replenishment project. Their private beach easement was among 11 the borough seized under

eminent domain so as to allow the beach fill job to proceed as a matter of public safety. The Karans’ attorney claimed in court that their $1.9 million property was diminished by $500,000 because of the higher sand dune diminishing their seascape view. “Because of the new 22-foot (elevation) dunes, they are unable to see the surf when sitting on the deck,” said Wegener. Borough Commissioner Judith Gerkens said the town is considering an appeal of the $375,000 judgment. Borough Clerk Daina Dale said the eminent domain taking has cost the town $1.3 million, including settlements of $282,000, $165,000 and $150,000 on three other oceanfront properties. Another property owner settled for $2,500, while an owner of an unbuildable ocean lot settled for zero. From the 11 cases, five remain in litigation. The cases are being felt by local taxpayers. The town’s $4.7 million budget is about $600,000 higher than a year ago, and the eminent domain cases are the main reason that homeowners will pay an average $400 more this year, according to the borough finance officer, Laura Cohen. Long Beach Township Beach replenishment the old-fashioned way – with a bulldozer pushing up beach sand – got underway in Holgate after Hurricane Irene roughed up the access to the Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge. The town spent $20,000 for 90 truckloads of sand in September. But that remedy was already inadequate by October, when the reconfigured vehicle access lane was in danger of washing out at normal high tide. The township’s bulldozer kept shoring it up during the fall fishing season, working even with its treads wet. Sand bags were added to the dwindling supply of beach Continued on Page 27

Yacht Club ‘At Home’ for a Century on Little Egg Harbor By KELLEY ANNE ESSINGER each Haven is home,” the “ theme that resonates around the Little Egg Harbor Yacht Club’s centennial, could not have been more fitting than it was during the opening commissioning and celebration at the historic clubhouse on Saturday, June 23. The commemoration reunited 100 years of current and former clubhouse members, many who were present to reminisce about the good old days, as the sun went down over the twinkling waters of Barnegat Bay. But great fun and lasting friendships were not always easy to find 100 years ago. The passion for genuine camaraderie, and of course sailing, has always been the core foundation of the LEHYC. On July 13, 1912, a small group of Beach Haven Yacht Club members broke away from what was turning into more of a professional fishing club and less of a racing boat guild. The new group formed the LEHYC. The organization is now known across the country as a prestigious place to sail. It has twice been awarded U.S. Sailing’s esteemed St. Petersburg Trophy for supremacy in race management. The club continues to host many leading regattas, or sailing championships, including several at the national and international levels. At the end of the summer in 1912, the LEHYC had more than 30 memberships – a total of about 70 individual affiliates. Over the next few years, membership grew and the club leaders decided they needed to obtain some waterfront property land. Purchased from one of the club’s founding members, the organization acquired a lot on Berkeley Avenue in Beach Haven. Members quickly built a rickety dock, where they held sailing and motorboat races. Meetings and parties were held at any one of the town’s largest local lodges, such as the Baldwin and

Engleside hotels. In 1916, four years after the club’s initial get together, members had a three-story clubhouse with a porch and balcony built on the acquired land in Beach Haven. Meetings and small parties were held on the third floor of the new building, while members lounged on the second floor, above the ground floor grill room and men’s locker room. Many of the club’s biggest events were still held at the Island’s largest hotels well into the 1930s. By 1921, the club maintained the first of the organization’s four 25-foot, single-design sloops – a small, wooden sailboat with single mast – to accommodate the club’s influx of adult members. In 1923, the Skippers program was formed. Led by established sailors, the program taught young boys from ages 6 to 13 about the ways of the water and the art of sailing. A Skipperettes program for young girls came about in the late 1920s. After World War II, the two programs were united to form a co-ed youth program, renamed in 1990 as the Junior Sailing and Tennis Program. Junior sailors now learn and compete in Optimist, Laser and Club 420 dinghies. “There was no activity specifically for the children until the Skippers program in 1923,” said LEHYC historian Doug Galloway. “I don’t know when they really got involved with actually sailing the boats because they also had some other activities. They swam, for example. The bay was probably horribly polluted, but they swam in it anyway. They had all sorts of crazy things. They’d get out with basically a boxing glove on a 10-foot stick and a canoe, and they’d try to stand up and knock the other guy down – canoe jousting, they called it. They’d take half a wooden barrel and try to paddle it in a paddling race. “They learned how to sail, too,” explained Galloway. “Sailing was, I won’t say it was different; I will say

the way you went about learning it was different. Now, you’ve got lesson plans and you teach specific skills, one after the other. In those days, it was basically, put you in a boat and see if you can go out and learn how to do it,” he added with a laugh. Rapid expansion of the LEHYC took place from the 1940s through the 1960s. During that time, a Junior Sailing building was erected. It was later demolished and rebuilt in the 1980s. A group of enthusiastic tennis members personally purchased the first few of the club’s six tennis courts, which the organization eventually bought from them. The last set of courts was procured later in the 1980s. Weekly tennis events now include men’s, women’s, children’s and parent-child tournaments. The LEHYC also has an active private fishing club that competes locally and nationally. The fishermen share their catch with the club’s members during the summertime at the annual Fish Fry. Bocce, golf, exercise classes, art, bridge, a book club and a presailing program for children ages 5 to 7 are also integral activities at the club. Special fun events include happy hours, cookouts, dinner-dances and tranquil sunset sails. The club owns 3½ acres of land, extending along the harbor from Norwood Avenue to Pearl Street. The property includes 120 boat slips, open to members with motorboats and large sailboats that are unsuitable for lugging in and out of the water. “(Members) pay the club an equiva-

lent fee to what they would pay at a commercial marina,” said Galloway. “We deliberately keep (the price) just a little bit lower than a commercial marina because we don’t have the marina services; we don’t have a mechanic to go work on your boat. There are always a couple of kids who do boat cleaning, but that’s their own business. Generally, they’re member’s kids,” he added, motioning to a young man setting up for the night’s event, who used to work as a boat cleaner at

the yacht club as a young boy. The LEHYC now has about 670 family memberships, including 450 active memberships, for a grand total of nearly 1,800 people. Many of the club’s members live in the surrounding areas such as Philadelphia, New York and Delaware. A few live as far away as Boston and even San Diego. Living far away from one another does not mean that the friendships formed within the club are any less true. As centennial events at the clubhouse begin, anyone can plainly see that the adoration between club members and for their seaside homes on the Island has endured well over the past 100 years. “I think it’s remarkable that our family has gone through 100 years of generations, and we’re still associated with the organization,” said Dylan Herrmann, son of Rear Commodore “Bud” Herrmann. “A lot of the other families here are just like us; we’re not rare at all. There’s a lot of family tradi-

tion here.” “We’re celebrating the club’s 100 years and supporting our dad,” added Bud’s daughter, Sarah. “Everyone obviously loves it here because they stay friends across generations.” “I’m one of the real natives,” said Jay Cranmer, one of the club’s former commodores. “I was born and raised here. It’s great. My sons, John and Jeff, learned to sail here, too. It’s exactly what commodore (Edwin Cox III) said: It’s a family club with generations and generations of families.” “For most of us, this is where we socialize,” said Galloway. “We’re a great gang of people who get along really well. There are always political things, but basically it’s a great group of families.” Q To see more photos with this story, visit thesandpaper.net.

This Fearless Fishing Forecast is based on previous and current year’s successes, plus information from government agencies’ estimates of fish species abundance. Stripers have become New Jersey’s most desired fish. After years of great fishing, the population has been decreasing in recent years. Last fall, surf fishermen had a good season. The reason is not clear but more bunker was the report from suds fishermen. It did take until the week before Thanksgiving for the fall fishery to provide the best catches. The boat fishery was poor in May and June because large schools of bunker were missing, or the winds were such that no one could see the bunker schools. This fishing is great fun, best enjoyed from a boat. Snag a bunker, put it on a hook and let it sink to the bottom, close to a school of agitated unhappy bunker. Usually you were hooked up to a good fish in minutes. New Jersey is the fluke capital of the world. The state’s many bays provided good catches but only a few keepers. There has been a good number of undersized fluke. Maybe 17½” fluke are better educated! So far this season it looks like a slow catch year despite the population abundance. This year’s longer September fluke season should be outstanding. If the huge number of last year’s 17” fluke released by anglers survived the winter, your 2012 fluking will be great. Last year was a poor year for black sea bass. The ocean was cold in May. They tapped at your bait, making them difficult to hook if you were not ready. You can catch enough for dinner so they are worth the effort. There will be an abundance of skates, rays and dog sharks this summer. It will keep you busy catching and releasing these critters you are not seeking. The New Jersey tuna season got off to a great early start. There were three warm core eddies along the canyon edges this spring. When there was a fishing weather window, anglers went to the canyons. Good landings of yellowfin began in the second week of

Sudoku Solution

May. There were also good yellowfin catches during June, with some trips being great. The last warm core eddy in now disappearing from the Wilmington Canyon area. Great trips will be rare until a new warm core eddy appears. Bigger bait concentrations will improve this fishing. Few inshore bluefin tuna have been landed. Late May and early June was best for canyon anglers who usually landed one. Those traveling offshore during the day must stop and check out good-looking areas that have many chick birds and slicks. Marlin come in two sizes off New Jersey. The one most talked about is the huge blue marlin. All blue marlin over 300 pounds are female. There was a good blue marlin showing but anglers are so conservation-minded that all marlin are released except in tournaments. There was a noticeable increase in white marlin numbers over the last five years. The number released in the two major tournaments – the Ocean City, Maryland White Marlin Open and the Mid-Atlantic Marlin Tournament – set records for the last 10 years. It is expec Dolphin fish (mahi-mahi) have improvement in their numbers. It may be the lack of competition from tuna that accounts for the larger number of Continued on Page 30

Fluke fishing in the bay has yet to be good. There is a super abundance of small smooth dogfish. Any kind of anchor and chum results in a large number of these dogfish. Anglers release the smooth dogfish they hook, but it is great fun because everyone is catching something.

Ocean

The ocean surface water is very warm for this time of year. How water temperature will affect our fishing is hard to guess. It has already been over 74 degrees F. This will likely change the species you will catch. The sea bass and fluke season has been very productive. Do not forget fluke legal size is shorter this year, at 17½ inches. The best reported fluke fishing has been around the artificial reefs. To get the good action, you need to try several locations until you hook several fluke on a single drift. Larger fluke are being caught over 27 inches. Check your leaders and hooks for strength. Ocean fluke fishing has not been good this week because the extra strong northwest winds made fluke drifts too fast. This weekend’s weather forecast suggests it should be nearly perfect for fluke fishing. Tuna action has been good, with most boats landing yellowfin. Usually big eye tuna begin to show up around this time of the year. These offshore trips have found larger mahi-mahi. Q Tight lines till next week.

Tan Lines

Editor’s Note: Mandy Miles grew up “down the shore” in New Jersey, wishing summer would last forever. She now lives in Key West, Fla. where her award-winning “Tan Lines” column appears weekly in the Key West Citizen. A book of her columns is available at amazon.com. She returns every summer to the Jersey Shore, where she learned the value of pizza and parking spots. By MANDY MILES

admit its arrival no longer heralds the intrigue and excitement it once did, but it’s ofﬁcially summertime and remember how it used to be? I know a lot of us did not grow up here in Key West, and our summers were marked by more than a calendar page and the ability to wake up late. In a town where it’s warm all year, the arrival of summer sort of gets lost in the shufﬂe. It’s just warmer. Then again, I’m an adult now, so all summer means is increased power bills and more severe sunburns. But I spent most of my youth in the Northeast, the Jersey Shore to

be exact, and summer was a state of mind that simmered just below the surface all spring and nearly boiled over on the ﬁrst day we were allowed to wear shorts to school. Summer didn’t just signal the end of school, it heralded the beginning of three months of unparalleled delight in doing nothing, or doing whatev-

er you wanted – until curfew. Wednesday is the last day of school and I’m jealous. Summer meant so much. And remember how it changed as we got older? As a little, tiny kid I lived in the Midwest – Kansas and Nebraska – and summer meant grass stains on my knees rather than my jeans, drinks slurped from a hose rather than a glass and bikes discarded on front lawns of the homes of my friends as we headed to the backyard to run through a sprinkler. In the Midwest, it was a time of daily trips to the community pool, where I learned to swim, jump off the diving board and appreciate frozen Snickers bars. Was there anything more frustrating than the “adult swim” at the local pool, or am I the only who had to suffer through this monstrosity? Our pool in Kansas City, the Blue Jacket, had decided some adults did not ﬁnd it altogether amusing to be constantly splashed, landed on and jumped over while trying to cool off, so every hour

they made the kids get out of the pool for 10 minutes so the adults could simply stand there in the water. Seriously, they just stood there. Where’s the fun in that? They didn’t dive for tossed pennies or scream “Marco Polo” over and over and over. Some of them didn’t even get their hair wet, but instead scooped water over their upper arms and face. The cooler dads, mine included, would throw a saturated Nerf ball back and forth with one of the other coolers dads, but adult swim was pretty much the bane of our existence – and imagine the chaotic line that formed at the snack bar when the kids couldn’t be in the water. It took forever to get a frozen Snickers or a lime freeze pop. Ah, summer. And it all changed as we got older. I moved to the Jersey Shore, wh ic h me a nt s u m me r s looked like any postcard you’ve ever seen from that area: long stretches of beach, pounding waves, lifeguard stands at each block, miles of pizza, French fries, arcade

games, surf shops and fudge; let us never forget fudge. Actually, I’ll never be able to forget the stuff after spending four summers sorting through it and gift- wrapping one- and two-pound boxes of it for my ﬁrst summer job at the shore. Summer also meant summer love. We’ve all had our share of suntanned heartthrobs, who, in looking back, seemed to disappear around Labor Day just as we were shopping for school clothes. Maybe they worked at a favorite pizza place, or twirled their lifeguard whistles on the beach while smiling from behind Ray Bans. Maybe they handed out the multicolored balls at the miniature golf course and then showed up on your porch nervously shaking your dad’s hand and promising to have you back by midnight. Ah, summer. Regardless of the year round temperature, or my status as an adult, it’s here and it’s a perfect excuse for a frozen Snickers. Q Share comments with Mandy Miles at mandymileskw@gmail.com.

John T. Cunningham: Legacy Of a Jersey Shore Chronicler Famed New Jersey historian John T. Cunningham died this spring at the age of 96. Down The Shore publisher Ray Fisk wrote that Cunningham was, “A prolific contributor to documentaries, a frequent public speaker, he was familiar with everything New Jersey from Newark to the Great Swamp to the Shore, from the birth of the Parkway to the loss of old railroads. He was, as the Japanese might have designated, a ‘living treasure’ for the state.” He graciously wrote the Foreword to my book Shore Chronicles, and, as we’ll be publishing excerpts from it this summer, it seems appropriate to start with the following, excerpted from his Foreword. – Margaret Thomas Buchholz By JOHN T. CUNNINGHAM consider myself a Jersey Shore chronicler – although not a diarist – after more than six decades of tramping up and down the coast, in all seasons of the year, at every time of day, from pre-dawn to long past midnight. Since the early 1950s I have written hundreds of thousands of words about the shore, including a book unimaginatively titled The New Jersey Shore. I did not see the Atlantic Ocean until I was a teenager in high school, and I came not to surf or to swim but rather to experience the ocean in one of its foulest moods. The wild winds, towering waves and cold, lashing rain of a late summer northeaster ravaged the coast on September 8, 1934, the night of my first visit. My older brother, a reporter for the small-town Morristown Record, and I were tooling around Morristown when we heard on his car radio that a burning ship was being swept ashore near Asbury Park. It was, of course, the stricken Morro Castle. By midnight, as we walked through the Asbury Park Casino, the doomed passenger liner had beached a few hundred feet from the boardwalk. Smoke still rose from the ship but the fires had been subdued. We stood in the intense darkness of the night, awed by the towering ship and, although I did not know it then, I was overwhelmed as well by the power and majesty of the sea. That stormswept night became the base point for all that I have learned since about the Jersey Shore. No one can begin to un-

derstand the ocean’s incredible wrecking force until he sees it in the grip of a mighty storm. Since the night of the Morro Castle I have been up and down the 127 miles of New Jersey seacoast on hundreds of nights and days, perhaps as many as three or four full years in total. Unwittingly I had become one of the peripatetic visitors whose shore peregrinations form the basis for this book. No matter what most of us profess, in past or in present, the essential lure is the ocean in all its mood swings, from docile pussycat on most summer days to sullen beast in wintertime. Even some of Atlantic City’s modern slot-feeders wander out on the boardwalk for an occasional breath of sea air and a view of the ocean. The Jersey Shore has been transformed almost beyond recognition or remembrance in the past half century. The Garden State Parkway has metamorphosed much of the northern portion to year-around living. Sandy Hook is no longer the mystery that it was when I first sought admission there in the 1950s. The portion surrounding Toms River has year-round traffic, mainly because of the proliferation of nearby senior citizen complexes. When I first saw Long Beach Island in the early 1950s, I was so enthralled by its beauty and open spaces that I wrote: “A lover of Long Beach Island is like the teenage boy who has a new, beautiful girl friend. He is just bursting to introduce her to the world, but he has the vague, uneasy feeling that to do so is the surest way to lose her.” Sadly, many visitors have introduced that island to the world. Too many lovers crowd the place that my family and I enjoyed for 15 summers in the 1950s and early 1960s. As we enjoyed vacations there, Long Beach Island’s seasonal population grew to five times the number of admirers that I first knew. I realize that I helped bring them there with my unbridled praise. When I first began frequenting the shore, Route 9 was a two-lane road much of the way, but it was the only road south. Getting to Atlantic City from Morris County took at least four hours. Cape May was about six hours distant; staying overnight was mandatory – and by late September not even Wildwood had a decent overnight room for rent. Casinos have turned the Jersey Shore topsy-turvy. There is often as much traffic headed south to Atlantic City on a late Friday afternoon in February as there was once on a Saturday morning in July. But it isn’t all casino traffic; the huge rise in year-round populations in Monmouth and Ocean county towns often creates near-gridlock. None of this is by way of lament. Shore-bound automobiles are filled with happy-faced people who believe that today is the acme of Jersey Shore summertime. They happen to be right, for they claim neither past nor future. Perhaps in the year 2055, one of them will write of the “old days” in 1999, when he recalls traveling to Atlantic

33 THE BEACHCOMBER/Friday, June 29, 2012

City by automobile. Is there anything that might link that raconteur of 2055 with today, and with the more than 300 years of New Jersey’s coastal history? Obviously a book such as Shore Chronicles is resource number one. The stories have several common threads with today: the need for a place where a person can get away from daily life, the belief that the sea air is “good for you,” the sea itself; and an awareness that no matter how antiquated or tiresome the modes of travel, the trip is worth the effort. Anyone stuck in today’s traffic on a hot summer day might well ponder that his forebears made the trip in a springless stagecoach whose air-conditioning was whatever winds chanced to blow. I am lucky. I have walked from Sandy Hook to Cape May, many times. I have known the shore at all hours of the day – from pre-dawn, when professional fishermen in seaside towns rise to earn their livings, to late night, when casino optimists stay awake to prove the odds can be beaten. I have known it in the mixed excitement and dread of fall hurricanes; in winter’s doldrums when softly flapping, faded posters tell of last summer’s joy; in spring’s awakening when the waves become meek and permissive; and in summer glory when beach umbrellas and the slightly-coconut smell of sunblock lotions fight the battle of too much vs. too little sun. I am sure that if I could talk to any of the individuals whose first-person accounts appear in these pages, we would quickly get back to the fundamentals, to the wonder that waves have been breaking on this shore since time began, to the awareness that a wave retreating on ebb tide leaves the strand different from how it was at high tide. We would talk about the migrating birds that fly over the bays and gather every spring and every fall at Island Beach, Cape May Point or at the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge. We would talk of summer romances, of nighttime dancing, of daytime strolls along the beach in quest of shells. We would talk of climbing up through the lighthouses; of riptides and jellyfish and seasickness aboard a fishing boat. We would talk of our shore – and cherish the thought that we know it well. Margaret Buchholz gives us the chance to hear of distant days. We can’t talk back, but we can understand. Q

In a letter to The SandPaper, local residents Dot and Ted Jedziniak, frequent critics of the borough government, complained that adding residential density to the Island’s lone exit was particularly unwise, especially since the former Quarter Deck Inn site across the street has an approval for owner Chris Vernon to build 60 condominium units. “Why does no one else speak up? This effects the whole Island,” they wrote. Later, they complained about approval granted for a drive-through fast food business to be built on the access road for the ReMax real estate ofﬁce. Surf City Mayor Leonard T. Connors began a new chapter to his legacy in Surf City government. Already mayor for 46 years, local voters in November gave him another four-year term to run through 2015. He was unopposed on the ballot. In April, Connors announced that with adoption of the 2012 budget, the borough government will become debt free. “There aren’t too many municipalities in the state that can say

that,” Connors remarked. Finally, to put a resounding conclusion to The Beachcomber’s annual update, there is this item: A writer to The SandPaper had complained in June about the daily fire siren in Surf City, saying that in the age of high-tech communication, that old daily noise intrusion should be a thing of the past. Other letter writers rose to the defense of the noon siren, and occasional fire alarm: “We own a home just eight houses away from that so-called annoying siren. We don’t find it to be anything but a ‘sound of Surf City,’” wrote Pamela Minnick, who added that the complainer should rather be thankful for the volunteer firefighters who answer the siren, day or night, whenever their Island neighbors are in need. One of those volunteers, local resident Michael McGurkin, wrote that he would hate the sleep-disturbing alternative: the need to monitor countless police dispatches through the night just in case one might be a fire call. He also noted that Beach Haven, Ship Bottom and Harvey Cedars also use a siren to summon firefighters in emergency. And we say, amen – let the noon sirens sound!

Do you want to relax on the sofa with cool breezes or air conditioning while reading a good book? Perhaps youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather sunbathe on soft cushions while sipping Margaritas fresh out of the refrigerator or make a snack in the microwave or a meal on the stove. Indoor or outdoor dining with music is your option. Had too many cold ones and need to go? The bathroom is steps away with everything you need. Maybe youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather take an open air cruise to your favorite waterfront restaurant... and bring a few friends, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room for 12! Yes, this beautifully maintained 1997 24ft. Maxum Cruiser could be the answer to those dreams, and at $11,500 itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a nightmare! Call 609-276-1884 to see if dreams come true.
