Harvey Cedars Is Summer Soccer Central

nglish professional soccer player Martyn Rushmore has set up camp again in Harvey Cedars for a series of ﬁve-day programs to keep young players fit and ready to play at the top of their game come autumn. It’s right a ro u n d t h e corner, so register at once if your child, from age 3 to 14, will benefit from the $169

camp this week, July 23-27, or Aug. 20-24, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Sunset Park. A camp for high school players is scheduled July 30-Aug. 3. “Seven days without training makes one weak,” is a soccer proverb that drives this successful instructor who was named the Star-Ledger’s girls soccer state Coach of the Year for 2011, according to his website rushmoresoccer.com. “Trust and care are important factors in a child’s development. We at Rushmore Soccer focus on self-esteem building techniques and individual foot skills through structured games and activities,” says the website. “Each and every session relates to the game of soccer and is designed

to bring out a child’s personality. We treat each child as a unique individual with unlimited potential.” His camp staff includes instructors from Ghana, Nigeria and the United States. The four men and two women coaches were selected by Martyn to provide “a mix of fun and soccer improvement, through their love for the game and their dedication to teaching children.” “Rushmore Soccer & Sports Camps are specially designed to maximize a player’s potential … putting them through their paces with smiles on their faces,” says the website. The clinic phone number is 973328-0787. — Neal Roberts

supports Camp Moore, which hosts an average 700 handicapped campers per season, all free of charge.

Go left on East Bay Avenue, then right (after the boat sales yard) on to Hilliard Boulevard, and travel about a mile to the lodge on your right. The picnic area has a covered pavilion and a covered food service building, horseshoe pits, bocce court and tables. The hall building has a capacity for 220, while the lounge has two large-screen TVs. A separate game room is available for pool, darts or shuffleboard. — Neal Roberts

This Program Really Takes the Cake By ERIC ENGLUND f you’ve never seen the Learning Channel’s “Cake Boss” program, you’ll literally get a taste of it when the Friends of the Branch present “Behind the Scenes at Carlo’s Bakery” on Monday, July 23, 10 a.m. Located in Hoboken, Carlo’s is the setting for the reality TV series, which focuses on Bartolo “Buddy” Valastro Jr., and his family on how they operate the business, with an emphasis on how they make their cakes, along with family gatherings and celebrations. The head cake decorator is Elizabeth White, who will be presenting the program. She’ll be sharing some of the bakery’s recipes and give a cupcake decorating demonstration. It is suggested that audience members refrain from eating pastry for breakfast that morning, because she’ll be bringing in free samples of cakes. “I started working there as an intern when I was 18 and I don’t want to leave,” she said. “It can get very busy and hectic there, but it’s a wonderful place to work.” White, who is 23, has an associate’s degree in bakery and pastry arts, and a bachelor’s degree in hospitality administration from the University of Southern New Hampshire. “I think I was 10 when I wanted to go into the bakery business,” she said. White said the bakeshop was opened in 1910 by Carlo Guastaferro.

In 1964, Bartolo Valastro Sr. acquired the bakery, and ran it for 30 years until he died in 1994. The “Cake Boss” show debuted in 2009. “Buddy was first known on the Food Network, where he participated in cake-decorating challenges,” White said. She said Carlo’s puts out 30 to 50 wedding and specialty cakes per week. “The biggest we ever did was one that was eight-by-six feet,” she said. “We’ve done cakes in the shapes of cars. And once we made one to look like Bumblebee from ‘Transformers’ (a science ﬁction movie). It gets crazy every day at Carlo’s. You have to get used to it, but we still have a lot of fun and enjoy what we do.” The Past Times Bluegrass Band brings its sounds of the Blue Ridge/ Appalachia region for an outdoor concert at the Long Beach Island Branch of the Ocean County Library in Surf City on Tuesday, July 24, 7:30 p.m. in the branch parking lot. The ﬁve-member acoustic group is comprised of Barbara Muccie, mandolin; Randy Bailey, bass; Don Sojka, resonator guitar; Ed Krisni, guitar; and Ron Trotta, banjo. Regular performers at Waretown’s Albert Music Hall, a Past Times set list features covers of other country and bluegrass classics, including “Your Cheatin’ Heart,” “Blue Days, Black Nights,” “Where Did the Good Times Go?” “Sweet Blue-Eyed Darlin’” “Keep on the Sunny Side” and the instrumental “Foggy Mountain Breakdown.” “We also do some more obscure songs like ‘Dark as the Night’ and ‘Dooley,’ ”said Muccie.

Audience members are asked to bring lawn chairs or blankets. And if you have the urge to get up and swing your partner ‘round and ‘round, go for it. Copies of the band’s CDs will be for sale. Local author Sandy Gingras conducts a “Master the Metaphor” workshop on Wednesday, July 25, 10 a.m. In a program sponsored by the Friends group, Gingras will give tips on structuring better metaphors for your poetry, fiction or nonfiction work. An author and illustrator of 19 gift books, Gingras has written and published poetry, short stories and essays and has two yet-to-be published mysteries. The Friends also sponsor an adult writers group that meets every Tuesday, 1-3 p.m. “People from that program are welcome to attend, along with anyone else who has an interest in writing,” said Gina Ciccone, Friends publicity coordinator. Wednesday, July 25 at 7 p.m., the Friends sponsor a program on sea turtles, featuring staff members from the Marine Mammal Stranding Center in Brigantine. “Star Wars” buffs are welcome to attend the Jedi Academy on Thursday, July 26, 2 p.m. David Engel, a seasoned off-Broadway and regional theater actor, will share his love for the series of “Star Wars” films and books in a program geared for the whole family. Wearing a white robe, sash and leather boots, Engel will transform himself into a Jedi master, and will engage youngsters in activities including light saber class, coordination games and obstacle courses.

‘The Joke Man’ Martling (R) Here July 25 By RICK MELLERUP

ust about every comedian these days curses at least a little, even on TV (George Carlin’s famous “Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television” doesn’t apply to cable). The Bob Hope era of clean comedy, where innuendo was the limit, is history. So Beach Haven’s Surflight Theatre has heard its share of cussing since the Catch a Rising Star Comedy and Concert Series kicked off last year. But only one comic has ever earned an R rating in advertisements in all that time, even with sometimes quite raunchy comedians such as Gilbert Gottfried having made an appearance. That comic is Jackie “The Joke Man” Martling, best known for being the head writer for “The Howard Stern Show” from the mid-1980s through 2001. Now, although often very foulmouthed, Martling is a throwback to that earlier time in one other respect. He’s no social analyst or political commentator, nor should you expect him to dwell on personal experiences such as his childhood or dating. Martling isn’t quirky, nor is he insightful. Nope, he just spills out rapid-fire joke after joke. Indeed, he has said, “I’m a joke teller, I’m not a comedian. … I just know every joke.” That may not be an exaggeration. One of Martling’s schticks is to end his show with a round of “Stump the Joke Man,” in which audience members (and folks who call in to his weekly show, “Jackie’s Joke Hunt,” on Sirius Radio) give him the first line of a riddle-like two-liner and he surflight.org) 8 pm.

comes back with the punch line. You can win an “I Stumped Jackie the Joke Man” T-shirt if successful. But don’t throw out your old tees just yet. Let me put it this way – his silk screening costs through the years have been minimal! Let’s listen in to a few cleaner examples from “The Howard Stern Show”: “What do a cue ball and a New York City cab driver have in common? The harder you hit them, the more English they pick up.” “What’s the difference between Mustafa the Lion from ‘The Lion King’ and O.J. Simpson? (Remember, these are from Marling’s long-ago days.) “The lion from the movie is an African lion, and O.J. is an African liar.” “What do you call two Puerto Ricans playing basketball? Juan on Juan.” “How do blonde brain cells die? Lonely.” Martling is a veritable joke machine. He’s written five joke books (and released ﬁve dirty-joke CDs and three videos), has owned and operated a dirty-joke phone line for the last 27 years, and wrote the joke page for Penthouse magazine for 17. As I said, don’t expect cerebral. But he’s the type of guy you want to hear

before trying to liven up a boring party or getting in a car with three other guys for a long road trip. Here are some of his own, milder jokes: “A little kid sits on his grandfather’s lap and says, ‘Pop-Pop, would you make a noise like a frog?’ The old guy says, ‘Why?’ The kid says, ‘Because Mom says when Grandpa croaks we’re all going to Disney World.’” “A guy visits his grandmother, takes his friend with him. While he’s talking to his grandmother, his friend starts eating the peanuts off the coffee table, eats all the peanuts. As they’re leaving, his friend says to his grandmother, ‘Thanks for the peanuts.’ She says, ‘Yeah, since I lost my dentures I can only suck the chocolate off them.’” You’re probably getting the idea. Jackie “The Joke Man” Martling will appear at Surflight Theatre at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, July 25. Tickets range from $40 to $89 and may be purchased online at surflight.org, by phone at 609-492-9477 or at the box office, located at the corners of Engleside and Beach avenues in Beach Haven.

Shore Is Fun

Stand-Up Paddleboard Yoga: Wobbly Good Time for Novice Editor’s Note: Fourth 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 ake it from a chick with a bum ankle: Stand-up paddleboarding is pretty simple, even when paired with yoga – and not to mention super fun! On a recent Tuesday morning, I joined an 8 a.m. stand-up paddleboard yoga class at Sunset Park in Harvey Cedars, organized by the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences. The instructors were Jackie and Lizzy Sikkema, sisters from North Beach who were introduced to the popular water sport last year when they took employment with Island Surf and Sail. With 80-degree weather and a placid bay barely perturbed by a light breeze, the 90-minute session gave a group of early risers a great full-body workout, and a rejuvenating and relaxing start to their day. I was most hesitant about whether I could balance on the board, especially because my right ankle is fused – the result of an injury I suffered in a head-on car collision six years ago. But my old gymnast instincts kicked in rather quickly, and I was standing firmly on the long, wide board in no time. Most of the participants, including myself, were ﬁrst-time, stand-up paddleboarders. Yes, we were rock stars, pairing our first stint with yoga, on the board, in the bay! Getti ng our footi ng on the boards, we learned how to use the paddle: One hand on top of the shaft and one in the middle, pushing the ﬂat end of the “elbow” back through the water in one easy stroke. We had an early casualty – a male, duh! (just kidding!) – who went down rather gracefully and reclaimed his position on his board after a hearty laugh, like a pro who understood the concept of brushing yourself off and trying again. Most of us were slow to paddle,

yet steady. We paddled around a small island, trying out different turning techniques. Paddling forward was the easiest and most common. I wasn’t so great at steering (su r pr i se, su rprise). I of ten k nocked i nto o t h e r p e o p l e, accidentally encroaching on their lane in the water, leaving no room for either of us to dip our paddles in between our boards. But I always laughed it off, hoping the other person would, too. “This is so much fun!” said Bridget Schneider, a seasonal Loveladies resi-

dent from Philadelphia who didn’t seem to mind my intrusions. “I ﬁgured if I liked it, I’d get a board and take it out along the bay on my own,” she said. A f t e r b o ndi n g ove r o u r newfou nd love for this particular water sport (we’d only been paddl i ng for 15 m i n u t e s ! ) , we flagged down Jackie to learn where, and for how much, we could get a paddle and board. As it turns out, they run around $700 for a foam board (not so great for balancing on), to nearly $1,900 for

a top-notch touring board. Paddles cost anywhere between $70 and $200. So I guess I’ll be saving up for awhile. After paddling around for a half hour, we made our way back toward the shore. I was looking forward to the break; I was beginning to work up a sweat! Tossing our paddles to the beach, we began the yoga session. Although many of us were a bit wobbly at ﬁ rst, trying to adjust to laying and sitting on the board, we eventually found our own grooves. The session began with a mix of sun salutations and vinyasa flow poses, known for their synchronization of movement and breath. We moved steadily from pose to pose: Continued on Page 22

Island Landmarks

As Family and LBI Grew, So Did Tuckerton Lumber Company

Photographs courtesy of TLC

SHOP LOCALLY: After a 1932 start in Tuckerton, Fred and Mildred Bunnell sought better fortune in Surf City, opening a shop in 1945 (right). The photo above is from the 1950s. Interior display areas were built by Ralph Courtney.

By KELLEY ANNE ESSINGER ometimes what starts out as a means of survival turns into a fruitful blessing. For the Tuckerton Lumber Company, the need to provide for a family turned into an 80-year dynasty, rich in business and in love. Times were tough during the Great Depression in 1932. Work was scarce, and money was even harder to find. But people still married and children were still born. For newlyweds Fred and Mildred Bunnell, raising a family obviously meant providing income. When their only daughter, Claire, was born that year, finding work became an even bigger priority. Sensing this growing need, Fred’s father, Fred Bunnell Sr., a family doctor in Barnegat, decided to purchase the Tuckerton branch of his uncle’s lumber company in Toms River, so the family could provide for their own. Fred ran the lumberyard on Railroad Avenue in Tuckerton, and Mildred, alongside one other employee, ran the hardware store on Main Street. During World War II, Mildred continued to run the hardware store, while Fred worked at the lumberyard after working a full day at the fish factory in the middle of Great Bay, where he caught and cooked bunker fish and helped produce fertilizers and weaponry for the war. Making a living during the war was even harder than it was before, and business was tough. Ordering merchandise for the lumber company was next to impossible. “We had been able to get nothing in the store,” said Claire Laird, choking up a bit at the thought. “Maybe we might get some hammers, or maybe we might get some screws. But you couldn’t just order things and (expect) they would come – because we were in a war. There was rationing all over. “Then all of a sudden, the world started to boom again. But (local) business was not real good,” she remembered. Fred Sr. continued his medical practice in both Barnegat and on Long Beach Island, seeing patients, delivering babies and occasionally removing fishhooks caught in someone’s arm

or a leg. He and his wife spent their weekends in a small cottage on 13th Street in Ship Bottom they purchased years earlier. When money was tight, some patients paid him in property for their medical bills. “The land was worthless in those days,” said Claire. “It had gravel roads, and it wasn’t developed that much. So some of the people said, ‘Pay the doctor with this land over here. It’s nothing but weeds and mosquitoes.’” When the war ended, business began to boom. Mildred ﬁlled up the Tuckerton hardware shop on Main Street with apple cookie jars, ivy bowls and French cottages. The merchandise went ﬂying out the door; life was good again. Mildred sensed that the extra free land on the Island that her father-inlaw acquired from his patients could be of good use. She urged her husband to open up shop in Surf City, and in

1945 a gift shop called Bunnell’s was opened on North 2nd Street. Although the store only carried knick-knacks and souvenirs, Mildred told customers who came in looking for paint, hammers and other small tools that she could have the supplies delivered to the store the following day on behalf of the Tuckerton Lumber Company. The lumber company’s reputation grew, and over time there was enough business to add on additional stock rooms, an apartment, and a storage shed to the gift shop in Surf City. It was later renamed the Tuckerton Lumber Company in 1948. The company continued to grow stronger every year, as building progressed during the off-season and seasonal residents came scurrying in during the summer months. Family members continued to help out with the stores. Claire, known as the “barefoot teenager,” helped out wherever

she could, counting screws or wrapping purchased merchandise in paper and bags. “I used to work there, and I’d say, ‘Can I help you with something?’ And a man would say, ‘Look, I’ve been in Philadelphia all week, and I’ve come down here, and I’m just roaming around this store; I’m just looking at everything.’ It would be almost like a treat for them. They’d come down and just check out everything that we had. And we always kept, I think, pretty up-to-date with everything. We would have everything people needed.” “It was really funny weighing out nails with a claw hammer and counting out screws. Things are so different nowadays. It was all taking care of everybody with little bags and little packages and little things,” she added, snickering at the memories. Though things have certainly changed and some of the family

members have come and gone, others have stuck with the business. Claire’s three children and their husbands and wives have all worked at the store at one time or another. Her son, Bruce Nelson, is chief executive ofﬁcer of the Surf City store, and her daughter, Elizabeth Harrigle, is chief financial officer. Harrigle’s husband, Timothy, runs the Tuckerton Lumber branch in Tuckerton. And the family couldn’t be happier. “We are so grateful to the people of Long Beach Island, and the people that came from Philadelphia and North Jersey, because they made business such a fun thing,” said Claire. “And we were, of course, able then to get all kinds of supplies; all of the sudden the world just started to boom. The Island grew and grew, and we eventually became what we are today: a great, big store with a lumberyard in back and lumberyards at the side, and all that!” she added with delight. The gift shop was given up three years ago when Claire decided she’d

had enough of gift shows. But the hardware, paint and building supplies are still thriving. “We’re so grateful to all the people that have been such faithful customers of ours, and the builders that are still making Long Beach Island such a wonderful place to come and live,” she said. “It’s great being in a family business. It’s been a real blessing to be a part of it,” agreed daughter Elizabeth. “Eighty years is a long time, but there’s never a dull moment. Sometimes business is tough, and we’re challenged to stay current with our products. But it’s very good to us,” she added with a smile. The family hopes to see the Tuckerton Lumber Company surpass another 80 years. But while they’re waiting for life to take its course, they’re content sharing the wealth of good business and even better family.

Shore Almanac

Pass the Sea Salt, Please! By ELINOR DEWIRE very child who fi rst visits the seashore quickly discovers that the ocean is salty. Whether licking lips or gulping down an unintended drink, the salt lesson for all of us is memorable. My first taste of it happened unexpectedly at Atlantic City, when I was 6. No one told me not to drink the seawater. I took a big swig and then sputtered. Yeeecch! “Know why the sea is salty?” asked my slightly-older, sea-seasoned cousin. “There’s a giant out there on an island, grinding salt into the sea.” He pointed east, and I squinted, looking for that island and its giant. The salt grinder story is an old one, going back to the Vikings. They believed the North Sea’s salinity was caused by a couple of magical millstones owned by King Frodi of present-day Denmark. The millstones, which supposedly produced whatever their owner wished for, were stolen by the Viking warrior Mysinger, who took them to sea in his longboat. There, he wished for salt, a valuable commodity, and the millstones produced … and produced … and produced. Alarmed by all the salt accumulating in his longboat, Mysinger ordered the millstones to be thrown into the sea. As they sank they produced a great whirlpool known as the Swilkie, meaning “the swallower.” Such myths are fun, but science tells us the ocean is salty due to the minerals dissolved in it. These reach the ocean via rivers that carry elements weathered from soil and rocks, but also minerals that are ejected from the sea floor’s hydrothermal vents and volcanic eruptions. To a much lesser degree, windborne minerals are carried in the atmosphere and settle into the sea. The lion’s share of the raw materials that make the sea salty includes about 55 percent chloride and 31 percent sodium. Minor amounts of other substances – sulfate, magnesium, calcium and potassium – add to the brine. Salinity levels (total salt content) vary from place to place, but the proportion of minerals remains constant in the sea, and the exchange of minerals is continuous as well. This means the same amount of salt gets added to the sea as is transformed into new minerals on the sea floor. The ocean is a big, steady state, briny manufacturing plant with salt recurrently coming in and being changed into new minerals. How salty is the sea? Add a teaspoon of table salt to a cup of warm water, stir, and taste. This briny elixir has about the same concentration of salt, on average, as seawater. But replicating the sea in a cup little compares to the real thing in terms of sheer volume. The sea is big, occupying some 70 percent of the Earth and constituting 97 percent of its total water.

In layman’s terms, there are about 6,614,237,300,000,000,000,000 gallons of ocean on the planet. Consider that a gallon is 768 teaspoons, and only then does the vast quantity of salt in the sea become evident. Some scientists estimate the sea contains 50 quadrillion tons of salt. That’s 50 million billion tons, or 50,000,000,000,000,000! If all the salt were removed from the world’s oceans and spread in a layer over the entire Earth, our planet would be blanketed in 500 feet of salt. To grapple with those large numbers, evaporate the salt from one cubic foot of seawater and you’d get 2.2-lbs. of salt, a little over two boxes such as those found in kitchens for cooking. The saltiest places on Earth are the Red Sea and Persian Gulf, due to the high rate of evaporation in this region. The North Atlantic is the saltiest of the major oceans, and its saltiest locale is the Sargasso Sea, a few hundred miles east of Florida in the infamous Bermuda Triangle. The reason, again, is a high rate of evaporation in the Sargasso Sea due to its warm temperature but also to its great distance from estuaries, which tend to be less salty as rivers bring freshwater into the ocean. In fact, large rivers like the Mississippi, the Hudson, the Delaware, and the Columbia can affect salinity for miles at sea. Each river has its own recipe of minerals, which can be tracked by sampling. The Columbia River, for example, enters the Pacific Ocean at the Oregon and Washington border and spreads its freshwater tentacles for hundreds of miles. Its signature flavor is well-known to the native salmon of the area that taste their way back to it to find their spawning grounds. Polar seas tend to be less salty than those of mid-latitudes. Near-continuous precipitation at the poles and the melting of snow and ice dilutes the polar seas. Bodies of water that are somewhat landlocked have low salinity too, due to freshwater sources and lack of strong, tidal washout. Salinity can vary season to season, too. Puget Sound’s tributaries dump much more freshwater into the sound during the region’s very wet winter and spring than in the drier summer and autumn. The Hudson and Delaware rivers similarly can change ocean salinity as snowmelt from the mountains pours into their tributaries and makes its way to estuarine areas and eventually the sea. Marine life is salty, and so is terrestrial life, including humans. We’ve all heard we have a sea within us. It’s true. There are salts in our blood and lymph, and in all our organs. Work up a good sweat, lick your lips, and you’ll taste human salt. The internal human ocean has salinity similar to that of the Precambrian seas from which some believe we evolved 3 billion years ago. Rachel Carson described this peculiar inheriContinued on Page 24

Shore Chronicles

1887: ‘Salt-water Day’ This summer The Beachcomber looks back at how our beloved Jersey Shore touched the lives of our predecessors at the beach. —The Editor

he origins of “Salt-water Day” have disappeared as surely as the oysters; but its existence shows that not only finely dressed ladies and gentlemen responded to the call of the sea. One 19th-century historian recalled a “sheep washing” day in the 1880s, when farmers made a pilgrimage to the sea. Even earlier, residents of rural areas within twenty miles of South Amboy celebrated “bathing day” on the verdant banks of Raritan Bay on the ﬁrst or second Saturday after the August full moon: In 1856 one observer counted during a three-hour period more than 2,000 persons of all ages, sexes and colors returning from the shore. Behavior, he noted, was “highly unconventional.” The following is from Harper’s Weekly. —Margaret Thomas Buchholz

he custom of observing Saltwater Day is so old that it’s supposed to be of Dutch origin; but long before the Dutch came to New Jersey the Indians had a custom which might very well have furnished the model. It is a fact established in history that the New Jersey Indians were in the periodical habit of assembling in the neighborhood of the salt-water for the purpose of feasting upon oysters, and the gathering and eating of oysters was one of the chief features of the Salt-water Day observed among the Monmouth County farmers in later years. Before oysters became private property, and when there were natural beds of them along the Jersey shore, farmers living within twenty or thirty miles felt a keen oyster hunger about the ﬁrst of every August, and on Saltwater Day, which occurs at this season, the beds were made to suffer. They suffered so much that the New Jersey Legislature ﬁnally passed a law restraining people from taking oys-

ters by any means except the feet and hands, so that for several years previous to the time when oysters ceased to be public property the farmers on Salt-water Day could obtain this delicate food only by “treading” it; that is, by working the oysters from the bottom, and skillfully bringing them to the surface with their toes. South Amboy used to be a favorite place of gathering on Salt-water Day, and so lately as ﬁve years ago as many as one hundred tent-top wagons brought in their loads of people from the back-lying farms to assist in this celebration. At South Amboy the festivities are concluded in a single day, but at the other places — and notably at Point Pleasant, or Sea Girt, as it is now called, a part of the village of Squan — three days are devoted to them. Of course at these festivals at the edge of the sea there have come to be other joys than the joy of eating oysters. Bathing, dancing, and miscellaneous feasting are to be reckoned among the delights of Salt-water Day. There are stores of cold fowl sandwiches, home-made pies, cider and pink lemonade, and some of the wagon-tops keep the sun off a keg or a demijohn of apple-jack. The bathing suits worn by the farmers and their wives and daughters are home-made, the same as the pies, and are commendable for their comfort and serviceability rather than their ﬁt. But the observance of Salt-water Day is not what it used to be. Railroads have brought the sea and the oysters nearer to the farmers, and the reason for the celebration is largely gone. The colored people still observe the day with considerable fervor at Long Branch, but the festival, speaking generally, is one which is rapidly going out.

There is no question suds fishing is the thing you must try this week. Several of the tackle shops will rent you a surf outfit. They will inform you that you cannot fish the beaches in most places during the hours that lifeguards are on duty. There are too many people on the beach for it to be safe. Your choice is after dinner around 7 p.m., or at dawn’s early light around 4 a.m. There have been many schools of 1½-pound blues. Take a car ride and check the beach every 10 blocks. Look for the feeding birds close to the inside surf line. Fluke have been caught this week from the surf in quality numbers. The problem is the current size limit for a keeper is 17½ inches. The keeper ration has been one for every five you land at your feet. The surprise catch is sharks. Not little sharks but larger sandbar sharks around three to four feet long. They will give you a great fight. You have to use special bait, like fresh bunker or frozen mackerel. Check with a tackle store for the correct surf shark rig. Current fishing rules require you release this species of shark alive. So plan to cut your leader using fishing pliers and release them back into the surf. As the water continues to warm under this broiling weather, strange species of fish will show up in your catch. So be prepared for some strange-look-

ing southern fish. Be careful and release them because many are too good to eat. Bay Bay fishing has been unpredictable in most areas. This is time for the annual spawning migration of fluke. This event has historically occurred during the last week of July or first week of August. It is great fishing and always represents the best fluke fishing of the year. Small bluefish are around the inlet on most days. They are easiest to find during the fast-moving tide. Wherever the birds are, that is where the blues are. But be careful: sometimes the terns are on top of sand bars. Use your depth finder and make sure you do not run aground. As the bay temperatures reach the super hot level, southern fish species will be caught. Be careful: several species have extra sharp spines. They will create a hole in your hand with little effort on their part. Use a glove or pliers to release these fish if you do not recognize the species. Do not forget your net! The largest fluke of the year are always lost by those who forgot their net. Inshore Sea bass fishing on the artificial reefs has slowed down as the huge body of sea bass that arrived earlier in May has been reduced. The good news is more fluke are present. You can catch them in good numbers if Continued on Page 20

Hoping to Finish Well By MARGARET BUCHHOLZ f your doctor said you had ALS, which will within two to three years paralyze and then kill you, would you plan a one-man cruise through the inland waterways from Key West to New York City – which your neurologist strongly recommends you do not undertake? That’s what 67-year-old Gib Peters did, even though his doctor, Walter Bradley, told him, “As it [the disease] spreads downwards, the arms, legs and lungs stop working … it leaves the mind sound and the senses alert … in the end you’ll be ‘locked in.’ ” (Gib had bulbar ALS, in which the paralysis starts with the tongue.) Gib’s Odyssey (Pequot Press, 2012) is the story of that iconic journey, written by Dr. Bradley after his patient and friend died. The majority of the book and the best stories, however, are the e-mails that Gib sent to family and friends as he headed north in his 29-foot motor cruiser, KaChing. They are a record of his

adventures along the way, but even more, of his journey inward as his health deteriorates and he faces the inevitable end in this personal race with death. Early on he says, “I’m determined to ﬁght ALS every step of the way, but intellectually I know that I will lose the war.” By the time he ﬁts out the twinengine Wellcraft and reaches Georgia, 16 months after the diagnosis, he notices weakness in his neck muscles and devises a neck brace to support the weight of his head. At that time he writes home: “Why do I take the risk? I certainly don’t have a death wish, I am not an Evel Knievel nut. But I do, I admit, love risk and the thrill of measuring the odds and validating my judgment. Acting on calculated risk has added zest to my life and coin to my treasure. This cruise is the ultimate test and perhaps the last chance to spice what for me continues to be an adventurous life. So, Doc Bradley, I’m on my way.” Gib’s Odyssey is not a downer. It is Continued on Page 25

THE BEACHCOMBER/Friday, July 20, 2012

Fishing Around Continued from Page 19 the ocean conditions are right. You need a drift. No wind means a slow drift. This is not fast enough to catch fluke in any number. You need 10 mph wind to catch fluke. The big Barnegat Light headboats Doris Mae IV and Miss Barnegat Light are catching lots of blues both day and night. Doris Mae IV takes two trips per day for fluke and sea bass. One trip starts at 8 a.m. and the second starts at 1 p.m. The boat reports good sea bass fishing and good fluke fishing when there is enough breeze to provide the drift speed that fluke want. You will see schools of bluefish during your travel to an artificial reef or your favorite inshore spot. Anglers have been rewarded this year with the best year class of bluefish in the last 10 years. This means there are 1½-pound bluefish everywhere. Be prepared to catch southern fish species, which are arriving soon or are already here. Many of these fish are great to eat but you need to correctly identify them before taking the time to keep them. Offshore Bluefin tuna are still around but mainly at the northern end of New Jersey. The area around the Resor wreck has been the most productive. You will do best to stop four miles before this wreck and troll toward it. Far to our south, the Hot Dog area has been very tuna productive for those who anchor and chunk for yellowfin tuna. These fleets have grown to a huge size, with all weekends finding over 100 boats fishing the most desired locations. Those who prefer to troll have found more white marlin chasing their baits. The ocean has warmed up to the point where many popular fish species are swimming deeper in the water column. So to enjoy a productive day, you must follow them or catch fewer desired fish. Those trying tilefishing have been doing well. This is a great, deepwater fishery that anglers are enjoying. It is a challenge because the best areas are over 300 feet deep. Many anglers find they catch more in even deeper water, around 600 feet. Those fishing this depth find that

after a trip or two, they buy a 12-volt powered fishing reel. Their price has come down in recent years. Most anglers prefer Diawa brand. They have the best selection of reels that are a one-piece reel with the motor built in. This feature makes them light and easy to use. When combined with a stand-up rod they are fun to fish. Specially designed rod and reel combos will change your thinking about deepwater fishing. If someone offers you a piece of tilefish, take it. They are a great eating fish species. Sun Protection Not Optional Suntan products are a must in this hot temperature weather. It is not a choice, even for those who have a great tan. Do not forget it. If you do not use it on these super hot days, you will damage your skin. Tight lines till next week. Q

AH... TO DREAM. Do you want to be lulled to sleep listening to the water? Do you want to relax on the sofa with cool breezes or air conditioning while reading a good book? Perhaps you’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 you’d rather take an open air cruise to your favorite waterfront restaurant... and bring a few friends, there’s room for 12! Yes, this beautifully maintained 1997 24ft. Maxum Cruiser could be the answer to those dreams, and at $11,500 it’s not a nightmare! Call 609-276-1884 to see if dreams come true.

Shore Is Fun Continued from Page 14

Plank, downward dog, chaturanga, upward dog, chair, cat cow, happy baby. I wasn’t quite able to relax until I ﬁnally allowed my breath to match up with the motion of the poses – inhaling through the nose, exhaling through the mouth. The yoga session ended in shavasana, or the corpse pose. We laid belly up on our boards, legs and arms outstretched on our sides, in quiet

meditation for nearly ﬁve whole minutes. What bliss! Listening to the soft ripple of waves gently slap against the board as the sun warmed my body allowed me to open my eyes feeling newly refreshed. “Who’s ready for a paddle?” shouted Jackie. I was the ﬁrst to grab my paddle and head out on the water. I felt so rejuvenated and content, I figured I’d give one of the fancier turns a try. Jumping back on the board, twice (it was so long!), I lost my grip and slipped into the bay.

“Grab your sunglasses; your paddle will ﬂoat!” Lizzy reminded me. The water was deep (and super salty!), and I couldn’t touch the ground. I quickly swam back to the board. I was refreshed, all right. “You should go to the women’s stand-up Paddle Challenge this summer,” said Sallie Sarrel, a physical t herapist a nd Pilates instructor who has been spending her summers as a member of the Arts Foundation in Loveladies since she was 3 years old. “It’s so much fun. There’s music, and rafﬂes, and food… I went last year. That was the second time I was ever on a stand-up paddleboard, and I didn’t fall. I didn’t win, but I had a lot of fun,” she added, in-between saying goodbye to a participant she planned on meeting later at the Foundation for a zumba class. Jackie summed up our morning. “The class went better than I expected,” she said. “We tailored the first one to beginners, but we hope to make it a bit more advanced next time. We’ll probably add in some more difficult yoga techniques,” she added, looking toward her sister. “We’ve both been practicing yoga for about four years,” Lizzy chimed in. “We go to yoga festivals; take classes at school. Sometimes we watch it on TV. And we have friends who are instructors. “We picked up stand-up paddleboarding last year when we got the job at Island Surf and Sail. We entered the challenge, too, and we’re doing it again this year. We’re out on the bay everyday, training. We’re looking to win the double race this year. No more giggle fest; we can’t fall off this time,” she added, giving her sister a wideeyed look. The 4th Annual Ladies Paddle Challenge will take place Friday, July 27 at Bayview Park in Brant Beach. Registration opens at 4 p.m. and costs $30 per person (includes an event T-shirt).

1962: Many Similarities to LBI Today By MARGARET BUCHHOLZ andering through the bound editions of 1962 Beachcomber issues, I was surprised to ﬁnd so many businesses still here, especially Realtors (a word that didn’t exist 50 years ago). HCH in Harvey Cedars started life as Canetti Real Estate in the 1950s, then became Canetti and Hill when Elsie Canetti married Joe Hill, then Hardenbergh tacked on his name and now it’s HCH Sotheby’s. Inman Realty on 17th Street in Barnegat Light is still that: Inman Realty. But no more Inmans involved. Fifty years ago they advertised “over 200 building lots available.” An oceanside duplex in Spray Beach cost $10,700. A three-bedroom home on a 100 x 100 ft. lot in Loveladies Harbor was $11,500 up. The prices of seafood then were rock bottom: scallops 53 cents a pound, swordfish and halibut 49 cents, salmon 75 cents. … In the Want Ad section Hance and Smythe offered painted and unpainted prams for between $50 and $100 bucks. A few ads further down, under the heading FREE FREE FREE, our editor (that’s me) was offering “children’s play yard picket fencing.” The kids outgrew it. Hartman’s Amusement Center was located “two blocks south of the Lucy Evelyn” in Beach Haven and advertised midget autos and the Ferris wheel. (The old wooden schooner Lucy Evelyn burned down nine years later.) Hartman’s is now Fantasy Island. There were lots of benefits for the proposed new hospital in Manahawkin. One had fashions by Sink ’r Swim – washed out of Harvey Cedars by the March storm and quickly relocated to Haven Beach. Another fashion show had styles by the Island Dress Store in Brant Beach, now the Island Shop – same family, same location.

Shore Almanac Continued from Page 18 tance of salt in The Sea Around Us: “When the animals went ashore to take up life on land, they carried part of the sea in their bodies, a heritage which they passed on to their children and which even today links each land animal with its origins in the ancient sea.” Hence, to stay healthy, all of us need salt. Each of us has about 8 oz. of salt inside us – the equivalent of about three table salt shakers – and in order to maintain that healthy amount we need about a quarter teaspoon of salt per day, or 500 milligrams. Salt inside our bodies regulates the exchange of water between cells and controls the contraction of muscles needed for heartbeat, digestion and other activity. Our kidneys help regulate the salt in our body, as does perspiration, tears

Surflight Theatre’s Joe Hayes was master of ceremonies at both events. Harvey Cedars Esso, which became Exxon, and then went through several more name changes and is now Harvey Cedars Auto, is at the same location, 78th and Boulevard, and still operated by the Baum family. Their ad 50 years ago advertised “Touring Service.” I’m pretty sure that should have been “Towing Service,” which they still have. Just call 609-494-5478. Beach Haven School marked its 50 th anniversary … Mayor Harry Conklin stepped down after 18 years as a public official in that borough. Southern Regional High School’s budget for 1962-63 was twice defeated by the voters and the board instructed to cut a total of $100,000 from next year’s budget. An unusual new approach was started in the fight to keep New Jersey beaches clean and free of litter. A helicopter patrol was introduced by H. M. Adams, commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Conservation and Economic Development. It was to be on full schedule weekends and holidays throughout the summer, and make spot checks during the week. Commissioner Adams said boaters observed throwing refuse into the water would be pictured by the camera aboard the helicopter and addressed on the loudspeaker system. In addition, the patrol officer (either a state police or Conservation Department officer) accompanying the pilot would use a radio to notify local enforcement officers on the ground and marine patrol boats on the water. The “spy in the sky” was introduced to local officials by the commissioner in August. Those observing the pre-season run – intended to give them firsthand knowledge of the added patrol coverage now provid-

ed by the state for their beaches and waterways – included Beach Haven Mayor Charles P. Cranmer, Ocean County Freeholder Donald Rommell, Beach Haven Borough Clerk A. Paul King, and Richard Dunphy. Commissioner Adams said the full extent of the law may be used against persistent offenders. He cited Act 2A170-69.1 that provides that any person who discharges waste or debris from any ves sel into coastal waters or tidal bays where it may tend to litter any bathing beach or pollute the adjacent water is a disorderly person. Conviction as a disorderly person carried penalties up to a maximum of imprisonment for not more than one year or a maximum fine of not more than $1,000, or both. From the Sand in my Ears column, I found a few references to the March Storm, and to a passing hurricane the September before, written by Fran Burtaine: The U.S. Navy salvage technicians – almost 700 are in Beach Haven in the operation to refloat the destroyer Monssen – are a quiet, dedicated, and, most of all, an uncomplaining group. We met one of the young men in a launderette. He said he was living in the tent city at Holgate. When we commiserated that it must be pretty miserable he said, no, they were comfortable, but that they weren’t used to all the sand! A pretty, new cottage on the oceanfront in Beach Haven, which nosedived into the Atlantic during the March storm, revealed pilings about two-thirds as long as specified and paid for by the owner. Almost not worth mentioning in comparison with the catastrophic storm that struck the Island without warning in March, the September 1961 hurricane was nevertheless worrisome at the time as Islanders followed her devastating and unswerving progress up the coast. All indications were she would hit here with full force and residents of all low-lying

and urination. Why, then, should we never drink seawater? Everyone knows stories of desperately thirsty castaways aﬂoat for days on a raft at sea. If they drank ocean water, they died. The reason? There’s too much salt in a droplet of ocean water – three times as much as in the human body – and there are other minerals that are injurious to humans. Our bodies can’t metabolize all the salt in seawater. Our kidneys would shut down trying to handle so much salt. In an odd turn of events, saltwater causes our cells to dehydrate. We thirst from the inside out. Samuel Taylor Coleridge came to the same conclusion in a few poetic lines we’ve all heard, and perhaps even recited, from The Rime of the Ancient Mariner: Water, water, every where, Nor any drop to drink. Q Elinor DeWire is the author of numerous articles and books on weather, astronomy, and maritime topics. Visit elinordewire.com with your comments.

areas were advised to evacuate. Inasmuch as you can’t get much more low-lying than the Island, a considerable number of us took off. Nick’s National Hotel in Manahawkin had a houseful of refugees, and in the tension of increasingly dire forecasts it was a relief to be on the Mainland and to have company. The storm progressed northward more slowly than anticipated and we waited through the second day with increasing tension. When the welcome word came that night that the hurricane had passed by leaving little or no damage, practically everyone relaxed in the bar. A friend asked us to join her for a drink and we said we’d like to but it seemed unkind as our young son might feel left out. “If you’re worrying about him,” someone on the porch remarked, “he’s been playing pool in the bar for the last hour.” Longtime Long Beach Island stringer for many regional daily newspapers, A.V. Stratton of Beach Haven was the star of his most important story, molluskly speaking. Walking on the beach and occasionally picking up a stone or shell to skim on the water, he picked up a crab that was curiously heavy and hard as stone. Mr. Stratton used the petrified crab as a paperweight and, often, he remembers, as a hammer before deciding to drop it off at the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia one day when business took him to the city. “The curator scraped it and tasted it and I thought, ‘He’s a nut,’ ” Mr. Stratton said. And then Dr. Henry A. Pilsbury, mollusk expert of the Academy, told Mr. Stratton his find was at least 100,000 years old. It since has been classified as an ancestor of our edible crab and dates from the Pleistocene Age, 500,000 ago, the only whole fossil of its kind.

NAME THAT GUY: Okay, before you peek, see if you recognize this LBI local celebrity, shown in Harvey Cedars in what was a popular recreation in summer 1992. Well, the Rollerblade fad died out, but luckily, Al Bazaz is still, as then, part of the band No Discipline. So now you know.

Continued from Page 19 a tale that uplifts the human spirit, filled with sadness, humor, irony and love. He does not want his children or his wife, a nurse, to go with him. But he does invite two crewmembers to ship aboard, six-week-old kittens whom Doc Bradley names Faith and Hope. His love of these two companions leads to one of the most moving chapters in the book, when Faith falls overboard. What Dr. Bradley hoped to imply when he suggested those names is the missing “Charity,” and Gib does learn to accept the charity of others when he pulls into marinas – charity in the sense of helpfulness. He writes, “The urge to ‘give a hand’ seems to pop out on impulse all around. I had never given even a wisp of a thought to being the trigger for that reflexive attention or the focus of the action that follows.” Dr. Bradley has inserted a feeding tube in his stomach, as Gib is not able to swallow by the time he leaves, and he pours cans of liquid food laced with nutrients in it three times a day – plus a tot of rum for a sundowner. The first time he has his rum cocktail, he pours it in all at once and gets stinking drunk. Subsequently, he pours just a little at a time. Some of Gib’s narrative e-mails were published in his hometown newspaper, the Key West Citizen, where his friends and neighbors could follow his path northward. In some of these columns, he reminisces about earlier adventures at sea. His encounter with a persistent cormorant that wants the fish he is catching, and the time he came upon a pod of stranded whales, are worth the price of the book. Other stories detail the snags he hits along the way: Behind schedule, at the end of June he pulls into Savannah after the generator dies, leaving him sweltering with no air-conditioning. This episode is titled, “If You Don’t Like to Hear A Grown Man Cry, Skip This One!” By now he cannot speak and has to rely on a clipboard or the voice synthesizer he installs in his laptop. (Only by typing can he communicate with his family.) The manufacturer of the generator gives him the runaround and he is stuck at the dock for three weeks. Finally, with his friends pulling strings, ABC news shows up and the company gets very bad publicity. A new generator arrives and is installed 24 hours later. Farther north, more mishaps. KaChing runs aground in the dark. Both engines die in the Wilderness Swamp. In Chesapeake Bay, an attempt to tow a sailboat that is hard aground ends with the towrope wrapped around the prop and the captain with a nasty cut

on the arm. Gib describes the changing scenery as he cruises up the Intracoastal Waterway – and as a counterpoint describes in detail the failure of his muscles. When one arm becomes useless, he uses the other to pick it up. He devises ingenious ways to move around in the boat; he steers with his feet. As he faces each new challenge, he attacks it with determination and a unique artistry. Dr. Bradley elaborates on what is happening to his patient’s body as Gib weakens and his weight drops. When he arrives in New York Harbor, after weathering a storm in Barnegat Bay, his family joins him and tries to convince him to ﬂy home with them. But Gib is stubborn and determined. He brings the boat and himself safely back to Key West, where he dies less than three months later. Dr. Bradley had encouraged Gib to keep the travel journal so he could turn it into a book when he came back, and promised to see that the book got published if he died before it was done. He kept his promise.
