His regional theater credits include several performances at the George Street Playhouse, Shadow Lawn Summer Stage and the Garage Theater. “A Eulogy for Vincent” is a new take on the life of the painter, based on the hundreds of letters exchanged between the artist and his brother and benefactor, Theo van Gogh.

Participants should bring big towels and water and wear sunscreen and sunglasses. Donation only. 7:30 pm. Sand Sculpture Contest, 14th St. beach, Surf City. The Surf City Taxpayer Assn. and

LBIF Seashore House Tour Takes Place Wednesday

tarted in 1967, the Seashore Open House Tour remains the primary fundraiser to support the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences. Typically more than 1,000 tour-goers sign up for the six-hour event held every August. Tickets are on sale now for the 46th annual tour: $40 in advance, or $45 on tour day, Wednesday, Aug. 1 from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Featured this year are three homes in Harvey Cedars and four others between Barnegat Light and Surf City: Barnegat Light 5 West 14th Street – This beach house with reverse-living design concentrates bedrooms and a media center on the middle level, and a kitchen and dining area on the top level great room, which opens onto a raised deck to catch the sea breezes. “Look for the vintage Packard weathervane on top of the porch roof, a reminder of Packard automobiles once collected by the homeowner,” states the LBIF description. Loveladies 208 Nautilus Drive – This a la-

goon-front home recently redecorated by new owners. “In the entry foyer a balcony curves above an inlay of a contemporary compass rose design that points north to the great room.” Outside the kitchen, a pool features a waterfall at one end. Harvey Cedars 8310 Bay Terrace – This new bayfront home is a shingled Hamptonstyle design. “The ambience is pure coastal comfort: close enough to walk to the center of Harvey Cedars, yet quiet enough to hear only birds and boats.” A stone fireplace personalized with starfish and shells is a central conversation piece. 13 Cedars Avenue – Nicknamed the Fish House, the motif is highlighted by a custom fish newel in the front entry. “A spiral staircase leads up to the main level where sweeping views of Harvest Cove surround the kitchen, dining and living areas.” 35 Cedars Avenue – With historic charm at its core, this 1940s-era Cape was expanded in 1983, and remodeled by the present owners in 1999. “Avid collectors of nautical ephemera

and idiosyncratic pieces, the homeowners agree that it’s all about ‘the hunt.’ ” North Beach 1093C Boulevard – This oceanfront home of a Tony Award-winning Broadway producer features collections of contemporary crafts, particularly glass art. “The kitchen’s fusion of design and function satisfy both the collector and cook. A stunning gold leaf-lined pendant lights seating for two at one end of the island.” Surf City 346 8th Street – This year-old home has interior design inspired in part by the family children. “The hall bath was lovingly designed by the youngest of the three girls.” An outside kitchen and bar near the pool is the space that “serves as the hangout and summer memories begin here.” To sign up, contact the LBIF at 609-494-1241. You may also order a luncheon by Foodies available 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the LBIF, 120 Boulevard (bayside) in Loveladies. — Neal Roberts

transport the audience through the life, times, locations and people in the life of Vincent van Gogh. A question and answer period will follow the performance. “A Eulogy for Vincent” was written and directed by Ed Schiff, the artistic director of Apples & Oranges Productions, the non-profit theater company that presents biographical theater in the tri-state area. Schiff is a veteran of over 200 professional productions as an actor, director, playwright and producer in film, television and on stage. The constantly updated play also includes recent discoveries about the brothers Van Gogh, including new questions about Vincent’s alleged suicide. The play debuted in regional theaters in upstate New York, and has toured schools, colleges, museums and libraries throughout the tri-state area.

High Point Fire Company Sets Kids’ Ice Cream Tour

f you’re not too little, and not yet too big, and you’ve got Thursday night free, come on out to the Harvey Cedars firehouse to meet with real firemen, first aid squad members and police officers. And bring a dollar to share in an ice cream social. The High Point Volunteer Fire Company hosts Kids’ Night at the Firehouse 7-9 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 2 at Station 51 on 80th Street. It is open to children ages 3-10. Call ahead (609-361-7990) to let them know how many are coming. Bring $1 per child. “We are one of five volunteer fire companies located in Southern Ocean County, New Jersey, on Long Beach Island, an 18-mile stretch of barrier island,” states the Station 51 website, home.comcast.net/~hpvfc/. “We were organized on June 19th, 1937 and cover the municipality of Harvey Cedars, as well as the town of Loveladies, to the north of us, and the town of North Beach, to the south of us, both of which belong to the Township of Long Beach.” A quick turn on the calculator reveals the volunteer organization is marking its 75th anniversary. It was a rather humble start.

It’s not all top notch, though. A 1932 Model A Ford is the company’s comedy car, “manned by a varying team of nutty firemen.” Over the years it has capTHURSDAY, AUGUST 2 Night Owls, Island Branch Ocean County Library, 217 South Central Ave., Surf City (609-494-2480) Children 5 and older are invited to hear fun stories about owls and then dress up like them.

And the original Apparatus #1? “Years after buying a new pumper, our company fixed up old #1, won a prize for Oldest Appearing Apparatus at a parade, and proudly housed it in our kerosene-heated firehouse. It dried out and fell apart. Farewell #1.” — Neal Roberts (609-597-0553 or www.ourgang.org) Our Gang Players presents the show. Tickets: adult, $15; senior or student, $12; child younger than 13, $8.

Surflight Theatre

Two Different Types of Comedy By RICK MELLERUP omedy covers many bases, as exemplified by the next two Catch a Rising Star shows at Beach Haven’s Surflight Theatre. Judy Gold will perform her onewoman show “The Judy Show: My Life as a Sitcom” on Monday, July 30 starting at 8 p.m. The show has been well-reviewed by the likes of the New York Times, suggesting that, as comedy goes, she is rather highbrow. On Wednesday, Aug. 1, again at 8 p.m., the performers will be Mike Marino, billed as “New Jersey’s Bad Boy,” and Jeff “Fat Rat” Pirrami. Need more be said as to their differences in style? Don’t be misled – Gold isn’t an intellectual, she is a comedian, and can, when she does a standard standup act, be quite raunchy. She appeared, for example, in the 2005 documentary “The Aristocrats,” in which various comedians either tell their version or comment on what is widely considered the world’s dirtiest joke. But Gold, who tried out comedy for the first time as the result of a dare while attending Rutgers University, and who won two Daytime Emmy Awards as a writer/producer for the “Rosie O’Donnell Show,” raised the bar in her two one-woman shows: “Sitcom,” which ran Off-Broadway for six months, and the earlier “25 Questions for a Jewish Mother,” for which she received a Drama Desk Award nomination for Outstanding Solo Performance and won the GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian A l l i ance Against Defamation) Award for Outstanding New Y o r k Theater. Gold grew up watching sitcoms, comparing her family with

those she saw on TV. “In a manner,” wrote David Rooney of the Times, “that agree-

ably juggles deadpan self-deprecation, brash caricature, wry observation and emotional candor, Ms. Gold explains that she grew up addicted to television. She outlines the way in which her life has mirrored or diverged from the role models of her favorite shows in a buoyant 80-minute monologue with Kate Moira Ryan and directed by Amanda Charlton.” Not surprising, considering her early love of TV and her solid reputation as a comedian and writer, that she decided she wanted to do a sitcom. “Despite numerous network pitches over the years,” wrote Rooney, “Ms. Gold has never landed the gig she really wants, which is starring in her own television show about being a 6-foot-3 Jewish lesbian mother of two on the Upper West Side. She came close when OWN – Oprah Winfrey’s Network – picked up her idea as a reality show, but that balloon burst during preproduction as the show was cut because of budget cuts. “Still, if ‘The Judy Show,’ running at the DR2 Theatre, is not quite the realization of Ms. Gold’s lifelong dream, it’s a highly entertaining consolation prize for the rest of us.” The New York Post added its own raves, calling the show “gleefully selfdeprecating,” while The Huffington Post declared it “Comedic Gold.” Tickets for “The Judy Show: My Life as a Sitcom” range from $40 to $89. Mike Marino is a more typical comic, making his living in clubs across the country, performing at corporate functions, hitting the TV comedy show (“The Martin Short Show” and “Rascals Comedy Hour,” for example) and comedy festival (Montreal’s “Just For Laughs” festival and the like) circuits, and doing some occasional acting (“As the World Turns,” “One Life to Live,” “Becker,” and “Frasier”). He’s also made a name in commercials, having appeared in over 200 national TV ads. Beﬁtting his moniker, the Garden State plays a large role in Marino’s humor: “We need to involve Italian people in more things in America, ladies and gentlemen, we wouldn’t have half the problems we have. Am I right? You know what we need? We need an Italian President from New Jersey to run the *%$#@ country, that’s what we need. If we had an Italian President from New Jersey running the country the war in Afghanistan would be over! You wouldn’t know how but it would be over. They’d ask the president ﬂat out, ‘The war’s over, Mr. President, what did you do?’ He’d go, ‘hee, hee, hee, don’t worry about it, just go back to the cabinet and do your thing.’ “Come on people, remember when Bin Laden first pissed us off, what did our President do? He sent over

the army, the navy, the Marines, but nobody could find him, right? An Italian President, no, two Italians from New Jersey would be back in 24 hours. They would have found Bin Laden. They would have walked right into his cave like it was a hit. “Osama! How you doin’? Pull up a rock, I’ve gotta talk to you about something. You comfortable? We’re already pissed off at you, we had to get up early. Do you know how far you live from New Jersey? And I ain’t got the Easy Pass! “Tell you what, here’s what we’re going to do for you, Bin. Hey Vinnie, hit him with the bat. Is he dead? See, what did I tell you? Now the war’s over, steal the rugs.” Jeff Pirrami, who will open for Marino, is also a club comic who has worked all across the country but who is especially well known in Atlantic City. He’s known as the Fat Rat for a reason and he’s not afraid to make his girth part of his act: “Look at my shadow, holy (&%$, I’m a monster, like the marshmallow guy from ‘Ghostbusters…’ Like the shirt I picked up for the show? 75 dollars. The big men’s store stuck it right up my ^*@. I saw the sign that said ‘shirt sale,’ I went in, the shirt wasn’t on sale, it used to be a sail on a ship… When you go into a big men’s store all they got are three fat-guy shirts – big store, but there’s only three. If you ever see four big guys together, two of ’em got the same shirt.” Tickets for Marino and Pirrami run from $30 to $89. Tickets for both shows may be purchased online at surflight.org, by phone at 609-492-9477 or at the box office located on the corners of Engleside and Beach avenues in the heart of Beach Haven.

Beach Books

Josephine: A Memoir By PAT JOHNSON n 2008 I was privileged to review Fisherman’s Wife, a beautifully illustrated essay in book form written by Josephine Lehman Thomas about her life as the new wife of a Harvey Cedars commercial fisherman during the Depression of 1933. The essay was found and given new life by her daughter, Margaret Thomas Buchholz. It had first been printed in Scribner’s Magazine in 1933, for which the author received $500, enough to keep the struggling family alive for a year on LBI. That book was the first introduction of the amazing woman who was Buchholz’s mother. In Josephine: From Washington Working Girl to Fisherman’s Wife, just released by Down the Shore Publishing, Buchholz gives us the rest of the story. The book is divided into chronological chapters that illuminate the singular events, opportunities and choices made across the arc of this talented woman’s life. Josephine, or Jo, as she is affectionately called by all, kept a diary and also wrote many amusing, chatty letters to family and friends starting in June 1918, when she leaves her life as a farm girl and small town reporter from Ionia, Michigan to join the ranks of the thousands of girls descending on Washington D.C., drawn there to do their patriotic duty and engage in war work – and for adventure. Up until World War I, most women did not leave their hometowns or work outside of the home. Jo shares a room with two other girls in a boarding house and gets a secretarial job in the War Department. Washington was a beehive of soldiers, politicians and marching suffragettes. Jo voraciously took it all in: “I have just finished typing a long report. Our office is in a continual uproar. Two dozen typewriters are going at the same time, forty-seven people are yelling over the different telephones to places from New York to Chicago, men are shouting at each other across the room, and workers are rushing back and forth until I can’t hear myself think. This is the life. Everything short of a riot or the New York Stock Exchange will be too tame

for me when I get out of here.” Jo is smart and able, and is promoted. Through her we learn a lot about the war effort, the deprivations and the excitement of Washington through her voice, but also through the explanatory notes added by Buchholz, a veteran researcher. “I did all my research pre-Internet,” said Buchholz. “I went to Washington in the early 1990s and lived there for two months. It was a wonderful experience walking around the city. I went through newspaper archives. I followed up on anything my mother referred to. I also read a lot of books about World War I.” When Buchholz visited the National Archives for records from the production department of the War Department, where her mother worked, she found letters Jo had typed, recognizing her initials. “Some of the buildings she described were gone but I followed up on all the places she mentioned and saw how they had changed. I also did a lot of general reading about the war. I’m big on details.” Jo joined other young women volunteering at Walter Reed Hospital to visit wounded soldiers, and at Neighborhood House, a settlement house set up by a philanthropic organization. Social work had its start in these gathering places. Despite the horror of the war injuries the young woman sees, she learns to take it in stride. With gallows humor, she writes about feeding a young soldier from Kentucky who had lost an arm and had the other in a plaster cast: “When it seemed I was shoveling coal instead of feeding an invalid, he grinned and said, ‘Ah reckon you’all had bettah stop a bit til Ah ketch up.’” When the war ends, Jo is fortunate to be recommended by her boss to the travel writer F.G. Carpenter. She is convinced that her slightly informal letter, in which she tells Carpenter, among her accomplishments, that she doesn’t chew gum, won her the post. A syndicated travel writer, Carpenter is embarking on a huge undertaking to update his geography schoolbooks because of boundary changes since the war. Josephine is brought into rarified society by her new employer’s wealth and status. She spends the first summer ensconced in a country estate in Bluemont, Virginia and we travel with her and feel her wonder at the sudden ascent into high society. Although still a secretary, she dines with the likes of Alexander Graham Bell and Margaret Wilson, the president’s daughter. Along the way we are introduced to a number of beaus; after all, this is a diary, so we learn more what Jo is looking for in a man: someone bright and good-looking with prospects – and taller than she is. At 5’10” she sometimes feels it necessary to slump to talk to people. In 1924, the projects with Carpenter are drawing to a close and Jo worries she is headed for the poorhouse. As luck will have it, the famous Lowell Thomas, travel writer and adventurer, is in need of a researcher and ghostwriter, and Jo’s credentials and personality fit. With Thomas she travels in still wider social circles. It’s the Jazz Age and cocktails

and yachting parties are de rigueur. Her ﬁnances improve enough that she can purchase the opulent clothing she has always drooled over. She also gets to travel to Europe and we take a terrifying airplane trip with her over the English Channel. Then it is on to Berlin by train. Jo is assigned to interview the recently defeated German U-boat captains for Raiders of the Deep, a book that would become one of Thomas’ best sellers. In Wilhelmshaven, a naval station with a handful of submarines, she interviews Commander Lothar von Arnauld de la Perière: “Commander von Arnauld himself took me to the Naval Officers Club, where there was much clicking of heels and saluting. No better setting could be devised for the telling of Uboat stories. After a characteristic German dinner in a private room – the pièce de resistance was roast hare – the company adjourned to the submarine room. There we sat, the three ofﬁcers in glittering naval uniform and myself. I listened to wild tales of periscope and torpedo. We talked till long past midnight.” After the stock market crash in October 1929, writing projects with Thomas are sporadic and Jo is again worried about making ends meet. Then she meets Reynold Thomas (no relation to Lowell) and her life changes dramatically. A veteran and at loose ends after the war, Reynold was taking business

courses at Columbia University. Jo decides to ﬂee her place in New York City to Washingtonville on the Hudson River to write a book. Reynold pursues and wins her in that bucolic setting. The two secretly marry, though why it had to be secret is not explained. Buchholz never found out. She also searched in vain for the manuscript of a novel her mother mentions in her letters. Buchholz does remember watching her mother tear up a bunch of papers later in life. The Great Depression affects the young couple and they move to the Thomas family’s summer home, a shack on Long Beach Island, and this is the part of the book that will more than fascinate Long Beach Island fans – natives and vacationers alike – because it so poignantly describes an island society and landscape that is no more. Jo is now a wife and mother, and most of the writing she does is in the form of letters to family and friends, except for the above-mentioned essay, “Fisherman’s Wife,” that is included in this book. But then to embellish the story we have the memories of her daughter, Margaret, nicknamed “Pooch” while still in diapers. As a writer, Pooch has met and surpassed her mother’s talent in the art of description. She writes about the winter fun she had with her younger

rounding the house. Once a hard storm destroyed six houses on the ocean side near us and we thought ours was going. In 1935 in the dead of winter when I was three months pregnant, we had to be evacuated by the Coast Guard.” Then comes the Second World War and the Island is on alert for German U-boats that are attacking U.S. oil tankers and other ships. The beautiful beach is now streaked with oil and off-limits but the children collect bits of detritus from the shoreline that will include patches of uniforms. Jo does not comment on the irony of having interviewed German U-boat captains. Post-war America is good for the little island family as Reynold has quit fishing and started a dredge business. He makes a good living filling in the salt marsh for new housing developments. At the same time his wife is writing about the wasteland the developers are making by plowing down all the native vegetation. Jo has begun to write for publication again when a journalist, Donald Craig, starts a weekly newspaper named The Beachcomber in June 1950. Besides news, she writes cooking and gardening columns and funny commentaries of life when the summer people come down. Daughter Pooch, out of college and writing for The Beachcomber summers, meets a rival reporter, Bill Douglas, who writes for the Beach Haven Times. In March 1955 they marry and buy The Beachcomber. In the prolific 1950s, Pooch has two children, one each year. Then tragedy strikes in the form of her husband’s suicide two years later (he was an alcoholic), and the death of her beloved mother Jo from cancer in 1959. Pooch soldiers on, running the newspaper, raising her children. But this story is Jo’s story and so it must end. There is so much in this book to enjoy. Socrates’ admonishment, “The unexamined life is not worth living,” is conversely true here. Examining Josephine Thomas’ life gives us American history as lived by an intelligent, vivacious woman, and a close-hand glimpse of bygone life on Long Beach Island. Josephine: From Washington Working Girl to Fisherman’s Wife is available from down-the-shore.com and at most Island shops. Q Pat Johnson, arts editor at The SandPaper, lives in Tuckerton.

IN THE PRESS: Jo was a columnist for The Beachcomber beginning in summer 1951.

THE BEACHCOMBER/Friday, July 27, 2012

brother, Michael: “A winter blizzard left the beach so white, any exposed sand became gray by contrast. A veil of white obliterated the few beachfront homes. Michael and I sledded down sand dunes on flattened cardboard boxes, or a Flexible Flyer when we had one. Right after a snowstorm the snow hugged the dunes, but snow on the beach melts quickly. Although Mommy didn’t approve, when we were older, after a thick snowstorm Daddy tied ropes to the back of his 1939 Dodge pickup and towed us around town; when we slid fast enough we let go of the rope and coasted to a stop. And then we did it all over again. “I remember those frigid winters as a study in white and red. The frozen, crystal white bay, snowy white yard, frosty white windows and vaporous white breath. Red was the stove in the morning, a bulbous iron potbelly in the middle of the room. One of my parents had to get up early, shake down the ashes, put on more coal and open the draft. In less than ten minutes the bottom half was glowing as hot and red as my mother’s lipstick or the holly berries in the garden.” Buchholz now sometimes refers to her mother as “Mommy” and the emotional ties between the daughter to mother are intimate and poignant. Jo sums up her life in a long letter to a friend she had spent her Washington Working Girl years with: “As to how much writing I have done, you can judge by the way I answered your letter. These last five years have gone in house building, painting, slip covers, curtains, bedspreads, gardening, stenographing for Reynold’s business and having babies. Margaret and Michael are little monkeys. Michael is a funny little fellow who catches every germ that comes within range and has been so hard to raise that I wonder I am not a wreck. Margaret has always been a big healthy horse, so blooming and radiant, that she has already earned a fair sum posing. This is an artist’s colony in summer and she has been painted several times. One of her portraits has been shown at the National Academy in New York. However she is beginning to be long-legged and freckled and I suppose her teeth will drop out soon. “Our house was the first one on a little peninsula jutting into Barnegat Bay, and for a couple of years we lived a primitive life in winter, often cut off for days at a time by high tides sur-

GMDSS?

Have you seen these letters before? What about Global Maritime Distress and Safety System for Recreational Boaters? GMDSS! This is an international system using advanced communications technology that was started many years ago. This system is currently voluntary for recreational vessels. Do you own a VHF and single sideband radio that has this feature? All marine radios manufactured after June 17, 1999 were required to have DSC capability. These radios are readily identiﬁed by the distinctive dedicated red button marked “Distress.” These radios have a protective cover over this switch to prevent accidental use. DSC-equipped radios can automatically send a distress alert and source message to all coastal stations and other DSC-equipped boats in the immediate area. Interfacing your radio with your GPS is highly recommended and is something you must take the time

to complete. If you have an EPIRB unit, it will have been assigned an MMSI number. You must obtain an MMSI number and program it into your radio. MMSI numbers are currently available from Boat US, West Marine at no cost. Your form for this is included with your new radio and requires you to identify your boat and its color, plus other identifying features, on the enclosed card. The U.S. Coast Guard has MMSI capability. With this information they can help you much faster, regardless of where you are, if you programmed your radio correctly. They know what type of boat, plus its color, which makes their job much easier. Take the time and complete the registration included with any new VHF radio and you will be much safer. Fishing this week has been greatly affected by what happened late last week. An unusual, strong northeast Continued on Page 20

1972: Polarized on Politics, Land Use, Sharing the Road By MARGARET BUCHHOLZ orty years ago, Long Beach Island was politically polarized, and that cultural divide was reﬂected in the pages of The Beachcomber. After one of our columnists wrote in support of George McGovern for president, a letter writer reﬂected the chagrin felt by many of our readers: “I accepted The Beachcomber for what it purported to be: a weekly vacation publication providing entertainment, relaxation and entertainment. This season I am dismayed to note a new approach, designed to brainwash the assumable relaxed minds of the summer vacationers.” Another reader was more vehement: “The perpetrator of such hog-wash should be placed in a padded cell for the safety of LBI.” The letter with the most creative solution to our so-called liberal leanings: “Whenever a ‘liberal’ article is uncovered in your paper, we have little Tommy color it over with his crayons and draw one of those cute ‘Smiley’ faces over it. In this way The Beachcomber remains the same old goodnatured friend we knew before the liberal takeover.” Islanders in 1972 were divided by battles between conservationists and developers, by a vicious recall election in Beach Haven, by the war in Vietnam, by the ever-present battle between bicycles and cars, by the proliferation of billboards on the Causeway, by the pros and cons of abortion (we ran an ad for an abortion clinic), and by the length of a young man’s hair.

Attempts to put offshore oil derricks were ongoing, but Island mayors strongly opposed offshore industrial development, including a proposed nuclear power plant in the ocean off Brigantine. Earlier in the year, the Oyster Creek nuclear plant caused a major fish kill. Supporters claimed that there is “practically no danger of an accident in a modern nuclear plant.” Sludge was still being dumped into the ocean. And here we are, 40 years later, fighting the battle all over again. Through a 15-day campaign between Aug. 10 and Aug. 24, Clean Ocean Action will rally the public in an effort to create federal protection for New York and New Jersey from industrialization of the ocean. In 1972 we wrote: “How long will it take until Ocean County becomes a tragic shadow of what was once an area of beauty, valuable for its water resources, pure air, cranberry and blueberry culture, fishing and recreational attractions. This destruction cannot be prevented unless a wise citizenry insists upon intelligent planning and sound land use control.” After reading an article about polluting the environment, one letterwriter complained, “To this reader’s appreciation, your paper is a consistent supporter of environmental improvement. Good! But in actual weekto-week practice, you litter streets and sidewalks with your throwaway papers.” The following year we suspended door-to-door delivery. A recall vote in Beach Haven tried to oust Watson Pharo, commissioner

of public works. We opined, “Since so much of the substance of the brawl is of a partisan character, it’s difﬁcult to ascertain much in the way of facts.” The recall failed, and Pharo got to stay with a good margin of votes behind him. ... Borough physician Dr. Joseph Clay, who Pharo said was charging too much for visits, resigned. The Music Scene: Leroy Lewis on the organ at the Lighthouse Inn; Joni on her organ at Buckalew’s; The Coasters, Jerry Blavet and Bob Eberly at Joe Pops; Four Aces, Glenn Miller Band and Jackie Vee Quartet at Vacation Inn; and, best of all, the Rolling Stones concert in Philly. Our reporter wrote that Jagger was “small, sinewy and has a beautiful ass.” In 1972, a handyman cost $2 an hour. … New Jersey Bell advertised an initial direct-dial three minute call for 10 cents; operator assisted calls ran from 20 to 50 cents (for person to person calls). Remember operators? … Miss Barnegat Light sailed every Friday noon for lunch at the Captain’s Inn. Fare: four bucks. … Oskar Huber advertised a redwood table and two benches for $26.88. … Tickets for the LBI Foundation’s annual house tour cost $10. Mills Market in Ship Bottom reopened as DeFiglio’s Foodtown. … Manahawkin Airport reopened under new management. … Bonnie Earling was Miss Magic Long Beach Island. … Eric Englund wrote a weekly Sports Review. … Joe Britton, fresh out of Rutgers, wrote a series on Kundalini Yoga. … Phillies scouts came down to

Beach Haven’s Walsh Field for a series of trials, on the alert for baseball’s next star. … Gateway Bar owner Emil Guida’s horse took ﬁrst place in the Princess Stakes at Calder Race Course. … Beach Haven passed a “no-loitering” ordinance, making it illegal to “loaf or walk around aimlessly.” … The Garden Club of LBI presented its fourth annual standard ﬂower show. After years of inaction and indecision, planning for a sewage system began. For years, building was prohibited in low-lying areas with a septic system. … Ocean Acres was set for an 8,000-lot expansion. We estimated that will generate $40-$50 million in tax ratables, which will rise in excess of $200 million in less than ten years. We thought hand sanitizer was something fairly new. Not so. We advertised “CRCs new antiseptic hand cleaner” for use on boats – better than saltwater. … Businesses banded together to crack down on shoplifters, arresting and prosecuting several. The 20-year-old LBI Consolidated Grade School in Ship Bottom graduated its 6th-graders: Jill Svelling and Nicky Hartman got an Outstanding Art award; DeeDee Conway, Nicky and Cathy Groat shared the Presidential Fitness Award; Nicky and Penny Hedden shared the Citizenship award. Where is that award-winning Nicky now? Q Margaret Thomas Buchholz is author of the newly released book Josephine: A Memoir 1917-1959, From Washington Working Girl to Fisherman’s Wife.

Fishing

Continued from Page 19 storm, typical in spring or late fall, hit the Island full force late Thursday. Super high tides plus strong winds that often gusted over 40 mph were a major surprise to everyone on the Island. It was not fun for our Island visitors who prefer sunny days with light winds and lots of sun. If those on the Island were surprised, what do you think the fish thought as high, breaking waves pounded the beaches and high winds sent the beach sand sailing. Ocean Such a storm has a major benefit. The breaking waves absorb a great amount of extra oxygen. This brings new energy to all fish that have extra energy to chase their favorite food. A storm like this causes the annual spawning migration of fluke offshore to around 20 miles from the beach, where their spawning act occurs. The next year’s class of fluke are spawned and begin their life. These baby fluke migrate to the bays and inlets, where they spend the winter in sheltered coves, creeks and rivers. A few adult fluke migrate back to the beach and feed on the abundant fish and bait migrating south for the winter. This formerly great fall fishery had been denied anglers by the fish manager rules that use a closed fishing season to limit the number of any fish species that can be kept. This year anglers may be able to catch a few of these fluke because the season is open until late September for the first time in recent years. Sea bass catching has been slow as angler fishing reduces their numbers until they start to migrate offshore to their winter quarters. Small bluefish have been caught almost everywhere, as huge schools of 1½-pound blues have shown up in great numbers. Canyon The offshore fishing has been good in most areas. Far to our south, the Hot Dog lumps – quiet for the last two years – are alive and hot! Over 100 boats are fishing during the daytime and catching primarily yellowfin tuna. They also catch a few mahimahi. Bay Bay fishing is slowing as the fluke leave the bay to do their spawning thing. A large number of weakfish have shown up. Fish managers imposed a major reduction in fish that can be kept. They reduced the anglers’ legal number to a single weakfish per trip. Fishing under the street end lights has been excellent, due to a weakfish population many times what was expected by the fish managers. There are fluke in or near the inlets. If you use the traditional Barnegat Bay sandwich, you will catch more. A minnow and a strip of squid are considered by anglers to be the best possible bait. The sad part is most of the keeper-size fluke have departed. There are schools of small blues around the inlets and along the beaches in the early evening. You may not appreciate small, 1 pound-plus blues. But they are great on the family table as a dinner main course.

Surf The big news is there have been lots of fluke in the surf. They are hungry and bulking up for their annual spawning migration. There has also been a selection of other species: blues, more kingﬁsh than any time this season, plus sea robins and rays. Be prepared to check your leader if a blue has been on the line. Blues often kick the leader with their sharp teach, making it much weaker. It is likely to break if you catch any larger ﬁsh. Q Tight lines ‘til next week.

Art on the Island

Joel Dramis: Artistry in Wood By ERIN LEONARD very so often, an artist emerges who has the ideal combination of visualization, inspiration and passion for subject matter. This is certainly the case with freelance artist Joel Dramis, whose talents cover a spectrum of medium that seem to have no limits and are bound together by one creative mind. With a focus on composition, ocean-inspired imagery, and variety of material, Dramis seemingly creates beauty out of anything he sets his mind to. This includes anything from color or black and white photography to woodworking with furniture, sculpture, framing and oil painting. Those living on or visiting Long Beach Island have most likely encountered a creation born at the hands of Dramis. His hand carved signs hang proudly in front of establishments such as Ship Bottom Shellfish, Black Whale in Beach Haven and Black Eyed Susan’s in Harvey Cedars. Additionally, his unforgettable fish, wave and nautical-inspired carvings are displayed inside the aforementioned eateries, as well as Mud City Crab House in Manahawkin. I first saw his wave carvings in 2006, where they were included in the “Exhibition of Artists Living in Ocean County” at the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences. I was immediately enamored with his ability to carve sleek waves out of wood, and breathe life and motion into something stagnant. In the summer of 2010, his work was included once again at the LBIF in a popular exhibition, “Where Oceans Converge,” which featured the works of surfers who were also artists. “Most of my inspiration comes from the ocean and the environment surrounding it. From surfing to fishing, there’s something about that saltwater, which sucked me in at a very young age,” said Dramis. An individual who spends a great deal of time in and around water has a tendency to observe and understand the surrounding environment on a deeply intense level. I imagine that Dramis, an avid surfer and fisherman, is sensitive to the fluidity and motions of each crashing wave. He is able to transfer these experiences into tangible pieces of sculpture that embody the movements and swirling of the ocean. “The waves that I carve basically replicate the ocean’s movements. From building and fading ocean swells, to how waves break along our coastline – all of these visuals can be seen

ON THE SEA, FROM THE SEA: An avid surfer, Dramis absorbs inspiration from both the seascape around him and the colorful marine life from its midst, such as yellowﬁn tuna and mahi-mahi. Island businesses also beneﬁt from his talent.

throughout my work,” he remarked. I had the honor of visiting Dramis and wife Megan at their residence in Manahawkin, where I had the opportunity to enjoy the full realm of his talents. The home is like a gallery in itself, decorated with his sculptures, beautiful handcrafted furniture, framework, paintings and more. Dramis explained that he was always interested in architecture, but went against his grain and entered Richard Stockton College with the intention of becoming a business major. After careful introspection, he shifted his path with the realization that his heart truly lay with the arts. He recalled that an experience in his college Intro to Drawing class offered clarity into the direction he longed to go. “I remember my first assignment was to draw a still life. The next day our professor asked us to pin up our drawings. Right away he pointed out my drawing and complimented the thorough lines which formed the objects in my drawing. I really enjoyed my college years. I think it’s an important time for self-discovery. For me, this is when my creative window slid wide open,” explained Dramis. He graduated from Stockton with a major in photography, where he worked closely with and learned from Professor Wendell White. While Dramis enjoyed certain aspects of his photographic pursuits, he began to feel somewhat limited by its two-dimensionality. It was at this point that he broadened his horizons into threedimensional art forms. He became fascinated with the art of woodworking, teaching himself the craft through his own processes. Dramis’ first carvings were those of fish, which were carved from red cedar. A self-proclaimed introvert, he found the tactile element of the carving process to be both therapeutic as well as a creative outlet. His techniques began to evolve and he experimented with newer and bigger pieces. His workshop is outside of his home, allowing the convenience to work on a new project in a flexible, comfortable atmosphere in the time

periods that his busy schedule permits. He most often begins with a small sketch of an idea that has taken shape in his mind. From there, he creates a wooden template that he uses to cut and layer piece upon piece of laminated plywood. He explained that his first wave carving took 110 hours as he laboriously cut out layers of wood, pieced them together, and carefully smoothed over jagged edges before using semitransparent stain to emulate the soothing, natural color of the sea. Dramis went on to say that his experience in constructing the waves has allowed him to modify and perfect his technique, which now takes between 20 and 30 hours. I believe Dramis has a wonderful and prosperous artistic future awaiting him on the horizon due to his genuine nature and undeniable gift. He is capable of creating something tangible out of something many of us can only “feel” inside. “I would really enjoy to begin creating my waves on a larger scale. Most of my pieces range from ﬁve to eight feet in length. I would love to do an installation up to 20 feet. I continue to push my freelance connections, so maybe I’ll land that project soon enough. “I hope someday to have my own gallery on Long Beach Island to display my work. Enough people ask me, ‘Do you have a studio on the Island?’… Maybe now it’s time.” In the meantime, many of us continue to look forward to his dream coming to fruition.

Shore Is Fun

Alliance for a Living Ocean Eco-Tour: Mobile Education Editor’s Note: Fifth 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 recently ventured around Barnegat Bay on an eco-kayak tour, led by members of Alliance for a Living Ocean – a nonprofit organization based in Ship Bottom that is dedicated to maintaining a healthy coastal ecology through public awareness and action. What I ascertained from the tour is that the best way to learn about the estuary of Long Beach Island is to get involved in it! Upon arrival at the Ship Bottom Marine Center, which supplied the kayaks and life vests for the event, I met eight other excited tour-goers, of which four had traveled all the way from San Diego to spend their summer on LBI. “We’ve kayaked all over the world, but we’ve never gone kayaking in New Jersey before,” said Jeffra Becknell, motioning to her wife, Liz Grossman, and her two daughters, Remy, 11, and Jordan, 9. “I grew up in Bergen County, and my mother lives in Manahawkin. So when we came to visit, we figured we’d take the girls kayaking in the bay,” she added. ALO’s summer programs coordinator Drew Gamils, who spent many summers as a kid volunteering at the organization with her mother, and ALO Executive Director Chris Huch, who grew up in the area and knew he wanted to be an environmentalist since the first grade, showed up minutes later, excited for the tour and the opportunity to share their wealth of knowledge regarding Barnegat Bay and its surrounding habitat. “This is my second summer as the programs coordinator,” said Gamils. “Last year was all about learning the information; I had to brush off a few cobwebs. This year it’s all about perfecting the tour. I’ve never had anyone flip over (in their kayak), but then again, this is only my second year,” she joked. At that moment, I wasn’t too worried about going overboard. I was a bit nervous about soaking my notebook and all of my tour notes with it, but I was mostly concerned about kayaking around the bay for an hour with no access to a bathroom facility. Just thinking about it (and looking at the wide, open body of water I was about to enter) gave me the urge to go. I quickly scuttled out of the restroom just in time to jump into the last kayak available: a one-seater with no back to lean against. (That’s what happens when you leave the house without going to the bathroom!) I purposefully left my water bottle on the dock in an attempt to avoid absentmindedly gulping it down and later the necessary need to empty my bladder. But of course, a Ship Bottom Marine Center employee who thought he was being helpful tossed it into my kayak. Laughing, I decided it might come in handy; maybe I’d accidentally stray from the tour, my paddle eaten

by a large fish, and I’d find myself lost at sea for days with only this one container of drinkable water. “Thanks!” I yelled, fervently waving back at him. As I tried to keep up with the rest of the group, Gamils began explaining how ALO got its footing in 1987, and how the organization has helped put some of the laws and regulations of the Clean Water Act into place. That includes restrictions on ocean dumping, which protects sea life and helps keep waste from washing up on the shore like it did in 1987 – the main reason volunteers came together 25 years ago to form ALO. Gamils pointed out the Island’s five different ecosystems – the ocean, the shoreline, the dunes, the saltwater marshes and the bay – and the different species that thrive in them. Eventually, the strong tidal current got the best of my weak biceps, and I began lagging behind. The last I could hear, Gamils was praising the Island for its nearly pristine beaches and its place as a barrier against mainland erosion – an idea I’d never thought about before. Noticing my slow paddle speed and awkward steering, Huch took it upon himself to keep me updated with relevant tour information. After bonding over the fact we were both graduates of the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey, I discerned he was taking the role of my personal tour guide. But I knew he was just happy to be sharing his professional interest with me and was making sure I was kept in the loop on the tour. Huch pointed out a small, dense island full of spartina – a colonizing plant species that grows on the shoreline and extends its root system farther and farther out into the water. Spartina is one of the area’s main wetland grasses. It’s vitally important for absorbing nutrients and preventing floods. Unfortunately, 80 percent of Barnegat Bay’s shoreline is now built up, and the area has lost much of its wetlands. So it’s extremely important to preserve the wetlands that remain. After awhile, we finally caught up with the rest of the tour group. Crowding around a shallow, submerged island, Gamils and Huch said that we were looking at a cluster of eelgrass and widgeon grass. They explained that the submerged aquatic vegetation provides habitat, nursery ground and food for many different species of wildlife, including fish, crab and scallop. “They’re incredibly important to the environment here,” explained Huch. “Basically, everything here relies on them; they’re the keystone species of Barnegat Bay. If you took them out of the bay, nothing would be the same. Everything relies on them at some point. If we end up losing them, we end up losing Barnegat Bay as we know it. So it’s very important for us to protect these areas, to study them and to find out why they’re in decline,” he added. The biggest problem for the bay has been eutrophication – the excess of nu-

trients from fertilizers that makes its way into the surrounding watershed through water runoff. This pollution creates algae blooms, which wind up suffocating and killing plants and other wildlife. On our way back toward the marina, Gamils and Huch discussed the problem of CSO, or combined sewage overflow, which occurs when heavy rainfall overloads sewer lines and storm drains at water treatment plants. When this happens, water treatment plants are legally allowed to open their ﬂoodgates and let all of the water go at once. So waste winds up washing up onto the shore – something Long Beach Island’s beaches received a heavy dose of this past June. “We know it’s a problem, but we can’t do anything about it right now,” said Huch. “The only way it will change is if there’s enough public out-cry and the government decides to take control of it.” Luckily, ALO is continuing strong partnerships with some of the area’s other environmental groups, including ReClam the Bay and Save Barnegat Bay. By working together, they hope to offer many more educational opportunities and create an even bigger public response. “It’s a very free-flowing curriculum,” said Gamils, in reference to ALO’s Eco-Kayak Tour. “It really de-

pends on what people are interested in and what questions they ask me. If we see an egret, I get very excited because then that opens up the whole thing about hunting. … Some people are very local and just want you to identify things and explain a little bit about the islands, or the beach replenishment project, and things like that. So I like to hit up each person on the tour, especially because as you spread out, it gets harder for everyone to hear.” “We have a limited amount of time that we can be on the water, and Drew’s an excellent reader of what people want to learn about,” Huch conﬁrmed. “So if people ask a question that shows they’re already interested in something, she’ll veer the kayak tour toward those discussions.” If you’re interested in getting a hands-on tour of Barnegat Bay, ALO’s Eco-Kayak Tours, voted the best in South Jersey Magazine in 2010, run from 10 to 11 a.m. every Monday and Wednesday in July and August.
