LBI in 1850s Was ‘Desolate’ Coast

es, a century and a half can give a place quite a transformation. Reverse the process and discover Beach Haven, the site, before there was Beach Haven, “the Queen City” on the coast. “Go back in time to 1850 when LBI was truly a desolate barrier island with a few scattered gunning and ﬁshing shacks and a sprinkling of primitive hotels hidden between meadowlands and towering sand dunes,” states the program notes for the 7:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 13 talk by Jeanette Lloyd at the Long Beach Island Museum, Engleside Avenue in Beach Haven. “There were seven rows of sand dunes that had to be leveled to form the town,” said Lloyd, comparing the landscape to what may still be seen today in the dunes at Barnegat Light. She ﬁrst came to LBI as an infant in 1942. She married John Bailey Lloyd, who in the 1990s authored

the most definitive history books about the Island. The home where they settled on Third Street in Beach Haven dates to 1879 and was nicknamed “The Dunes” by the original owner. When John passed away, Jeanette carried on their love of Island history and the people who founded it. Jeanette, a retired teacher from the Stafford Township (Manahawkin) School District, and now chairperson of the Beach Haven Historic Preservation Advisory Commission, has devoted the last several years to meeting descendants of 28 families “who were the backbone of the development of Long Beach Island.” These were not the big city tycoons who brought investment capital to the shore; rather, they were subsistence families who lived off the land and the bay, obtaining just enough to meet their needs. They lived on the mainland, but began their role in the start of Beach Haven when Dock Road was established as a

bayside port along Mud Hen Creek, and building materials for a new town could be delivered by boats from Tuckerton, nearly a generation before the ﬁrst railroad reached the isolated resort in 1886. “I just fell in love with these families, and their tenacity,” said Lloyd, recalling one of her interview subjects remarking, “All of us were happy. None of us knew we were poor.” Lloyd has compiled thick binders full of family histories and photographs, which are available to peruse on Wednesdays at the museum. Gretchen Coyle of Beach Haven joined the project to write narratives of the families. “I have some great pictures of what the Island was like before it was built up,” said Lloyd. She will show them in a PowerPoint presentation at Monday’s program. Admission is free; donations for the museum are appreciated. — Neal Roberts

GoodTimes Festival of the Sea Carnival Supports St. Francis Parish

he amusement rides are up, the games of chance are ready to test your luck and the zesty carnival food of the annual Festival of the Sea awaits your arrival. All thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needed is for the evening thunderstorms, so common this summer, to stay away between 6 and 10 p.m. through Sunday. Hey, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re due for a little less weather excitement for a change, right? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone enjoys the excitement of a summer carnival. It brings out the child in all of us,â&#x20AC;? invites the St. Francis of Assisi Parish & Center at 4700 Long Beach Boulevard, Brant Beach. The event has been an annual August tradition since 1975. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Festival of the Sea came together 37 years ago as a celebration of the community,â&#x20AC;? wrote Lori Dudek, St. Francis publicity coordinator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Festival of the Sea is a major fundraiser for the work of the parish,â&#x20AC;? added Sr. Patricia Klemm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is also a great opportunity to spend

time with your neighbors and to meet new folks.â&#x20AC;? The festival opened Aug. 8, and continues nightly 6-10 p.m. through Sunday, Aug. 12, weather permitting. Admission and parking at the parish center is free. For those interested in the rides, a $20 bracelet for unlimited rides may be the best value. Lynamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Amusements sets up the rides and Paladin Amusements sets up the carnival games. Along with that staff, an estimated 150 volunteers from the parish help out each night, particularly with the food tables featuring seafood, pizza, hamburgers, ice cream, baked goods, coffee and soda. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something for everyone at the Festival: delicious carnival food, rides for all ages, and the classic games of chance we all grew up with and loved,â&#x20AC;? said Fr. Steve Kluge, parish pastor the past 11 years. A big chunk of the money raised comes from the 50/50 Super Progressive rafďŹ&#x201A;e (tickets are $2, or 6 for $10), for which the parish and the lucky

After the Reign Plays Country Thursday Night in Ship Bottom

afterthereign.net

COUNTRY BOYS: Willie Kelly (left) leads After the Reign to Waterfront Park, where their sets will include songs from their 2009 album Hillbilly Clubhouse. The park is at 10th Street and the bay.

n high school, Willie Kelly was a force to reckon with on the wrestling team. “I could pick someone up and slam them down to the ﬂoor so hard they wouldn’t move, and I would win the match. I was an animal!” recalled the redheaded Irishman who as a teenager was 6-foot-4 and 190 pounds. He loved to wrestle, but he loved to sing even more. On the Freehold Township High School choir, he was selected to perform with the All Shore Choir, and later for state and regional choirs. In his junior year, he started to sing professionally with a summer band at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson.

Graduated from high school in 1991, he met bass player Dave Burlett at a karaoke contest, and it was Burlett’s idea to form a country band. Started as The Southern Rain Band, their collaboration evolved over 20 years to achieve acclaim as the After the Reign Band, which is proudly promoted as “New Jersey’s premier country band” (afterthereign.net). Waterfront Park, 10th Street in Ship Bottom, is their next venue, 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 16 in the town’s free Concert by the Bay summer series. “Playing all over the East Coast, they have opened shows for such national acts as Tim McGraw, Lady Antebellum, Sara Evans, Rodney Atkins, Sawyer Brown and Josh Thompson, to

name a few,” notes the band’s website. Last December, they also were honored at one gig to find Bruce Springsteen jump on stage to jam with the band a while. Also with Kelly and Burlett are John Strevens, Bob Grado, Herb van Note and Dave Hurley. The band’s debut album, Hillbilly Clubhouse, was released in 2009. The Ship Bottom concert series ﬁnale is at 7 p.m. Aug. 23 with the annual appearance of the Jimmy Buffett tribute band Jimmy and the Parrots. Parking and restrooms are available at Waterfront Park.

t didn’t have what’s needed for a story – a beginning, middle and end. It was all middle. It came all at once, without warning… “It was unexpected and unannounced, sudden and surly, inundating, devastating, mutilating, obliterating. It battered and bludgeoned the shore until there was no more shore, until it was all running water and milling debris, until almost every trace of a human presence had been washed away. Then it was gone.” The description, from Great Storms of the Jersey Shore, applied to Harvey Cedars more than anywhere else along a 600-mile stretch of Atlantic Coast ravaged by the stalled, threeday nor’easter of March 1962. Huge swaths of the town washed away,

either into Barnegat Bay to the west or out to sea. Thirty years later, the storm was the centerpiece of the book researched and written by Larry Savadove of Beach Haven and Margaret Thomas Buchholz of Harvey Cedars. It was released in 1993 by Down The Shore Publishing. For this 50th anniversary year of Long Beach Island’s worst natural disaster, Buchholz recounts the storm in word and pictures 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 16 at the High Point Volunteer Fire Company station house on 80th Street, Harvey Cedars. Admission is free. Buchholz is the former owner of The Beachcomber and author of several history-theme books: Island Album, Shore Chronicles, New Jersey Shipwrecks, and

the newly released book Josephine: A Memoir 1917-1959, From Washington Working Girl to Fisherman’s Wife. The latter is based on her mother’s life, from her employment with the War Department during World War I, to travel to post-war Europe in the 1920s, and carving out a life in Harvey Cedars during the Great Depression. Beginning at 7 p.m. Thursday night, Buchholz will sign copies of the book for purchasers. — Neal Roberts

Help a Hospitalized Veteran, Support VFW Auxiliary Auction

urrounded by summer crowds intent on making the best of each day for themselves, there is a dedicated group on Long Beach Island thinking of some who are more in need of a gesture of compassion. The Veterans Administration medical center in Vineland is one of the special projects of the Ladies Auxiliary of Barnegat Light Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3729. For the last three years, a summer auc-

tion held at the post headquarters has been the main fundraiser for that outreach. “The Ladies Auxiliary has been in existence for nearly 74 years,” noted Sandi Dueben in the event announcement. “All of our fundraising goes to our veterans – some local, some hospitalized and some overseas.” “We try to help the veterans out anyway we can,” said Shirley Krupa, the auction coordinator. This year ’s fourth annual “AllAmerican Auction” is 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 16. Doors open at 6 p.m. at Post 3729, located at 11 East Winifred

Avenue (79th Street) in Beach Haven Crest. The auction is for those age 21 and over; admission is $5 for 10 white ticket item chances (plus a cupcake and a door prize chance). Higher-level item tickets are 10 for $7.50 and three for $5. “We have over a hundred” (auction items), said Krupa. “Most of them have been donated by Island stores, and they are beautiful. They certainly help us out with the prizes.” Other donations come from mainland businesses, even outside Ocean County. Last year, the auction drew about

90 participants to the event, which includes hot dogs and light luncheon fare for purchase. Parking and seating is limited at the post house on the ocean block (come early). “But everybody who comes has a good time,” said Krupa. She said the Auxiliary has about 35 members; more are always welcome. President is Adele Leder. For more information, contact Krupa at 609-693-4882. — Neal Roberts

Southside Johnny Brings Rock, Josh Blue Brings the Laughs By RICK MELLERUP

urﬂight Theatre is going rock ’n roll in more ways than one in the coming week. On Monday, Aug. 13 the legendary Jersey band Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes will have people rocking in the Surflight aisles in a concert starting at 8 p.m. Two days later, Josh Blue, winner of the 2006 edition of “Last Comic Standing,” will have folks rolling in the very same aisles in his show, 8 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 15. Southside Johnny (photo below), born John Lyon in Ocean Grove back in 1948, founded the band in the mid-1970s along with E Street Band guitarist and “Sopranos” actor Steven Van Zandt. It followed in Bruce Springsteen’s footsteps, becoming the second band to popularize the “Jersey Shore” sound. Early hits included “I Don’t Want to Go Home,” “The Fever,” “Talk to Me,” “Love on the Wrong Side of Town,” “Hearts of Stone” and “Havin’ a Party.” Now, with more than two dozen albums under their belts, Southside Johnny and the Jukes have become one of the longest-lived rock bands standing and have earned a reputation as one of the best party bands in the history of rock. The Jukes are synonymous with the Jersey Shore and have become a Surﬂight favorite after appearing there last year. Josh Blue (photo at right) is a relative newcomer when compared to SJ – he wasn’t born until 1978, when the Jukes reached their peak of pop-

ularity. He ﬁrst became interested in comedy while working toward a creative writing degree at the Evergreen State College in Olympia, Wash. He worked his way up the comedic chain by entering and winning contests. In 2002 he won the Comedy Works New Talent Search contest; in 2004 he took home $10,000 by finishing first in the Las Vegas Comedy Festival’s Royal Flush Comedy Competition. Then, of course, he struck real pay dirt in 2006 when he won the fourth year of NBC’s “Last Comic Standing” show. Now, Blue has a unique niche in comedy. In this politically correct world, folks can joke about themselves and their own group but not others. Black comics, for example, can rag on their own people like crazy but that is career suicide for a white comedian. (Just ask Michael Richards of “Seinfeld” fame, who was forced to retire from stand-up after repeatedly using the “N word” after being heckled onstage.) Carlos Mencia can crack about Latinos for hours, but not a Chinese comic. And nobody, but nobody, can say a word about the physically

or mentally challenged these days. Nobody, that is, except for Blue. The comedian, you see, suffers from cerebral palsy. He has taken what many would consider a handicap to the bank. “People ask me if I get nervous before coming up on stage,” he said in his first appearance on “Last Comic Standing.” “I say, ‘Heck no, I’ve got this many people staring at me all day.’” Blue came back the next year to introduce the “Last Comic Standing” show when it got down to its last three contestants. “I don’t want to get political with you, but here I go. I did vote Republican. I didn’t mean to … (He looks at his right arm). Oh my God, oh my God, damn you, damn you! Don’t we have enough problems and now you’re a Republican, too? You know we need the stem cell.” Only premium tickets remain for Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes, at $89 each. Tickets for Josh Blue run between $40 and $89. All may be purchased online at surflight. org, by phone at 609-492-9477 or at the box office. Q Rick Mellerup is a writer for The SandPaper and a long-time actor in community theater.

Discussion Focuses on Gender Gap and the Election By ERIC ENGLUND Long Beach Island Branch Ocean County Library Central Avenue, Surf City (609-494-2480) What are the cutting-edge issues that are important to women when they go into the voting booth this year? That will be up for discussion on Monday, Aug. 13, 7 p.m. when the Coffee and Conversation series delves into “The Gender Gap: How Will It Impact the Election?” Co-sponsored by the Jewish Community Center of LBI, the discussion will be moderated by Dianne Mills McKay, who chairs the state council on Gender Parity in Education and Labor. McKay said she would share the latest research on issues women think about the most and how they are most likely to vote. “The economy is always on people’s minds,” she said. “There are many single mothers who have to work and there are others who had to go back to work because their husband lost his job. These situations can create a lot of pressure.” She said that in 2008, 56 per cent of women voters supported Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee and presidential election winner over Republican John McCain. “The gender gap in presidential politics has been a pattern over the past 20 years, where more women have voted for the Democratic candidate and more men have voted for the Republican candidate,” said McKay, an adjunct professor at the Rutgers University School of Management and Labor Relations. “According to a CBS/New York Times poll, women are more likely than men to want the government to do more to improve the economy (72 percent versus 62 percent) and the housing market (57 percent versus 46 percent).” McKay said women are also ﬁghting back against what she said is an attack against programs that beneﬁt women that are threatened by the GOP in the House of Representatives Upstairs: Fri., The Following, 8 pm; Sat., Pat Karwan Trio, 8 pm; Sun., The Mulch Brothers, 3:30 pm; Mon., Pat Karwan, 7:30 pm; Dean Shot Band, 8:30 pm; The Quelle: Smokey Starr.

and the conservative right. These issues include parental leave, cancer screening, HIV testing, job training, nursing care, programs for mothers and children and domestic violence protections. “Women are also concerned about future appointments to the U.S. Supreme Court and how that could affect reproductive rights,” she said. Also, on that afternoon at 2:30, the Childrens’ Storytime will take place at the Rita’s shop, 18th Street in Surf City. Each child receives a free ice custard. On Tuesday, Aug. 14, Rick Bushnell, president of ReClam the Bay, gives a talk on “Indians, Pirates and Baymen on Barnegat Bay” at 10:30 a.m. He said he would talk about how Native Americans used shells for currency, and that settlers made a fortune selling shellfish to Philadelphia and New York. “They had to watch out for pirates in the Barnegat Bay looking to hijack the precious cargo,” he said. “But there were also good pirates known as privateers who helped fight for our country’s independence.” Bushnell said he would also give an update on the organization, a grassroots group dedicated to providing education and awareness about the environmental benefits of shellfish filtering, feeding and cleaning our estuary. Do you know how to read and understand food labels? You’ll get some advice at a presentation on Wednesday, Aug. 15, 10 a.m. Sponsored by the library system’s Chapters in Health, the program will break down as to what food labels should encompass. It includes what a serving size is, as well as terms such as low fat, no added sugar, low sodium, healthy or organic. Refreshments will be served. That afternoon at 2 p.m., Wild New Jersey presents a program on barn owls. Children ages 8 and up will learn how owls hunt their prey in the dark. Is there a man in the moon, and is the moon really made out of cheese? Children ages 5 and up will hear lunar tales during “Moon Lore and More” on Thursday, Aug. 16, 10:30 a.m. Q Joe Pop’s Shore Bar & Restaurant, 20th St. & Long Beach Blvd., Ship Bottom (609494-0558) Fri., Bobby Lynch Band; Sat., Screaming Broccolli; Sun., Mashwork Orange; Mon., Mike & Jay Acoustic; Wed., The Nerds; Thurs., The Benjamins.

1992: Piney Music and Jazz; Boulevard Hazards; 18th Century Dunes By MARGARET BUCHHOLZ wenty years ago The Beachcomber started off the season with a long story and lots of photos about Albert Hall in Waretown, and the ﬁne Piney and folk musicians who played there. In July, the building burned to the ground. Linda Rouse was the organization’s president: “What burned down was only a building. What is important is that the spirit of Albert Hall continues.” Four years later, they broke ground for a new building on Wells Mills Road in Waretown and the Sounds of the Jersey Pines resonates still, every Saturday night. (Learn more at alberthall.org.) The music scene, then as now, was hot. Jackie Vee and Paul Presto were pleasing crowds at the Surf City Hotel. … No Discipline played at the Tide in Bay Village and the Gateway. Member of the band Al Bazaz was pictured rollerblading on the Boulevard. He did 10 miles at a stretch. … Blues were big and Junior Wells, Jude Taylor and Jeannie Brooks were headliners at

Twenty years later, they are still there; this summer on August 1. … Lots of jazz on the Island. Two different events at the Foundation. Both Ed Polcer and the Eddie Condon All-Star Sextette and David Amram and his jazz quartet played. … At the other end of the Island, band music in Beach Haven’s Bicentennial Park. … Later in the summer Davey Jones of the Monkees did a gig of the group’s old songs at the Tide.

Crowding against the dune fence near the street ends are pine trees, beach plums now in bloom, bayberry, holly autumn olive, other hardwood trees and shrubs.

Hot or Not, Wet or Dry, Summer’s Poison Ivy Can Make You Cry Editor’s Note: This column was ﬁrst published on Aug. 8, 1992 in The Beachcomber. By JAY MANN

hile it might be a good year for the roses, it’s a banner year for the ivy – poison ivy. But, then, most years are decent for poison ivy, Rhus radicans, a rugged, indigenous plant that demands few natural amenities to survive, as evidenced by its seemingly effortless ability to ﬂourish even in the sandy and salty soil of coastal regions. But it’s hardly poison ivy’s penchant for proliferation or its distinctive, glossy, three-leaf appearance that keeps it on the minds of most folks venturing outdoors – it’s the urushiol. Urushiol is the oily resin secreted by the leaves of poison ivy and the root of itchy despair, known as contact dermatitis, for those individuals who suffer an allergic reaction to the resin. And more than a passing few of us react to the allergenic resin in the plant’s secretions. As nearly as experts can compute, half the population of the nation is affected by the antigen in poison ivy, making it far and away the leading cause of contact dermatitis and the number one suspect when any summer rash arises. The high-impact nature of poison ivy has led to a rash of theories and old wives’ tales about just how it affects the body. While the torment of poison ivy is all too real, some of the alleged capabilities of the plant are either exaggerated or simply not true. So explains Dr. Bill H. Halmi, a dermatologist at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia. Halmi points out that there are more than a few misconceptions about poison ivy and its equally irritating counter-

parts, poison oak and poison sumac, the latter being a substantially larger plant that prefers swampy areas. One misconception involves the communicability of the rash and blisters common to exposure to poison ivy. Research now shows that the irritation caused by poison ivy is not contagious. Simply, it’s impossible to pick up the rash from another person suffering with it, says Halmi. The blisters and itchy bumps associated with the rash are actually the body’s allergic reaction to a previous contact with the plant’s resin. The rash itself, though, does not contain the antigen urushiol, so it cannot be passed on. However, there is a rub. The oily resin from the plant can be transferred freely after a brush with the plant, at least for a while. While still active, the resin can be passed by skin, clothing, animal fur, tools, virtually anything that has come in contact with the plant. It can even be carried by smoke. And, as victims of poison ivy will readily attest, the resin can also be spread from one part of the body to another. “After the resin has dried, you can’t spread poison ivy to other people or yourself, but the resin is still on your skin for as long as an hour after touching the plant. That is why you may develop a rash in an area that never actually touched a poison ivy leaf. For example, if you rub your eyes soon after your hand has touched poison ivy, you could develop a rash on your forehead or your eyelids,” notes Halmi. Another mistaken belief about

poison ivy rash is that it can “spread” over the body. Many poison ivy sufferers, as they watch the itchy bumps and blisters progressively appear on different parts of their body, find it easy to assume the rash is continuing to actively spread. Not so, says Halmi. “People who contract poison ivy are often surprised to see more and more areas of rash appear over the course of the day,” he says. “Many people think that this ‘delayed’ rash means they are spreading the allergic reaction to other body parts. Actually, this represents the variable response that different parts of the body have to the antigen.” Halmi also points out that those folks who have never had a problem with poison ivy can’t really count on their good fortune to hold out. Poison ivy resin has a way of growing on those people who might seem impervious to its itchier side. He has found that all people are, at first touch, resistant to the plant’s antigens. Like all contact allergens, individuals must first be “sensitized” through a previous exposure to the allergen. “The first time someone has contact with poison ivy resin, it usually never causes a reaction. After second contact, however, a reaction may occur because the earlier exposure sensitized the person.” Even individuals who never reacted to the plant, even after multiple exposures, can suddenly find themselves up to their neck in rash.

While the torment of poison ivy is all too real, some of the alleged capabilities of the plant are either exaggerated or simply not true.

There are some ways to fight back against poison ivy, says Halmi. Barrier sprays now on the market act as a preventative block to keep the resins from penetrating the skin. “In a sense, these work as a spray-on poison ivy repellent.” The best post-exposure treatment for poison ivy is a good washing with soap and water to break down and remove the oil-based resins. If done immediately after contacting the plant, a shower (along with thorough wash of exposed clothing) may be able to prevent or lessen the reaction to the plant, says Halmi. Although poison ivy provokes an allergic reaction, traditional allergy shots (the injection of a small amount of the allergen into the body to produce neutralizing antibodies) do not seem to work, he notes. But often, even precaution, soap and the avoidance of all three-leafed plants, can’t keep the rash at bay. The rash from poison ivy takes two to three days to appear. Once out and about, the rash has distinctive characteristics. “Contact dermatitis tends to appear in a very well defined area, the area that came in contact with the allergen. Look for a nonsymmetrical and linear, scratchlike pattern, which forms as you brush against poison ivy leaves.” Treatment for a poison ivy rash deals primarily with the itching, which peaks about a week after exposure. For relief, Halmi prescribes steroid ointments, calamine lotion, oatmeal baths and antihistamines. In severe cases, the doctor recommends oral steroids, such as prednisone, which can act to lessen the body’s allergic reaction to the urushiol. After the rash has peaked, it generally takes a week or two for fluid-filled blisters to drain. While the aggravation of poison ivy rash leads many sufferers to judiciously remove the toxic plants when they appear in yard or garden, Halmi warns about getting careless during the removal process.

Stoop down and you’ll see mouse tracks, part of the dunes’ food chain that includes the marsh hawk, often perched on top of a post.” Also 20 years ago, Harvey Cedars, in attempt to keep visitors from walking on the badly eroded dunes there, installed new dune fencing. A small blimp hovered over Island properties off and on during that summer. Sky-Shots took aerial photos for special events. If you had an outside party, you’d call, and the 17- footlong balloon ﬂittered over and shot the scene. … The Feds changed the channels in the Intracoastal Waterway – buoys replaced and renumbered, so boaters needed to update their charts.

Gulls could be spotted overhead, sporting pink breast feathers. … Lifeguard Corky Friedman attempted a round the Island row in honor of his friend Kevin Heffernan, who died in a plane crash at the age of 23. Friedman pulled for 33 miles before the northeast wind forced him ashore, but pledges got the new lifeboat that was the real goal of the row.

The wrong way of ridding a yard of poison ivy is to burn it. While open burning is unlawful in New Jersey, there are still home gardeners who torch weeds. Inhalation of the smoke from a burning poison ivy plant can cause both internal and external reaction to the resins. Herbicides, while generally unpopular with gardening groups, are one way of distancing oneself from the weed while ridding the yard of its presence. Yanking the plants also has its drawbacks, notes Halmi. “Pulling poison ivy up by the roots may feel like sweet revenge, but even if you wear gloves, you risk exposing your skin to the resin and the plant may grow back from the roots left in the ground.” Q Jay Mann was the news editor and “Pleasure Foam” surﬁng columnist for The SandPaper in 1992.

The army National Guard camped where the CVS on the east side of the Boulevard is now, also at the former baseball field in Beach Haven. The six Coast Guard stations and the St. Rita Hotel and Wida’s (now DaddyOs) were filled to capacity with combat-

ready guardsmen. While soldiers raced up and down the two-lane Boulevard in jeeps, the Coast Guard combed the beaches on horseback with specially trained dogs, looking for any signs of an enemy incursion. Residents kept blackout curtains on seaward-facing windows so that German submarines couldn’t see the coast. Blimps patrolled overhead, searching for U-boats, and occasionally dropping depth charges on whales by mistake.

Art on the Island

Celebrating Summer at the LBIF By ERIN LEONARD ’m truly a summer girl at heart and I find nothing more exhilarating than long, salty days at the beach, warm sunshine, and the natural foliage that is part of living near the shore during this glorious season. The Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences currently celebrates the visual characteristics of this season with “Aspects of Summer.” The exhibition, which runs through Aug. 20, features the work of 13 artists and their personal interpretations of imagery that captures the essence of summer. Due to my personal connection to this season, I found myself anticipating this show with great interest. I was pleased to see a wide range of style and subject matter in this particular exhibition, as the notion of summer evokes different emotions and visions in each individual. For some, it is the patterns of summer light. For others, the cool blue and green tones of the ocean and bodies of water, and even the rich, full colors of surrounding landscapes. A number of artists took an abstract approach, while others worked in contemporary realism. “’Aspects of Summer’ is a more traditional addition to our summer exhibition lineup,” remarked Alison Craft, LBIF gallery coordinator. “Focusing primarily on painting and drawing, the exhibition seeks to capture the little moments that we often take for granted during the summertime. The cool breeze or sun-warmed water are things we cherish about our favorite season, but are things we rarely dwell on and appreciate. This exhibition finds those small moments and makes them the focus of an entire exhibition.” On Sunday, July 29, the Foundation hosted an Artist Talk and Walk, which gave visitors the opportunity to speak with the artists. I enjoyed the work of Brooklyn artist Susan Ziegler, whose painting in the exhibition titled “Balance” captured the tranquil aspect of summer. Layers of somewhat transparent colors bind together with a focus on shape and pattern to create a floral image filled with gentle movement. Ziegler is inspired by the structures found in nature and reinvents them in her mind’s eye, which is transferred into an image by her own hands. I was equally drawn to her painting, “Fever of this World,” due to its bright bold hues and explosion of shapes and color. Ziegler’s focus is to express the complexity found in nature through her own artistic language. “Each painting begins with a compelling image, an impression of light or color, or a sensation that resonates,” explained Ziegler. “My recent work is

inspired by components of the landscape, such as a sparkling pool of water, the ocean’s edge, the play of light and shadow on a mountain, or a cloud formation. I simplify and distill forms to find what is essential and move beyond the literal. “I am exploring a vision that lies between a tangible landscape space and a mental construct,” she said. “The imagery hovers between the real and the imagined, offering a sensation of escape and expansive space, while allowing each viewer to bring their own impressions to the experience.” New York artist Sydney Drum combines varying panels to create one unified piece. She alternates the panels, some painted with a labor-intensive method and others with digital photography. The juxtaposition of two distinctly different methods results in a fascinating composition. “My three paintings/digital works for the ‘Aspects of Summer ’ exhibition explore the intersections of painting, digital media, photography, and other sources,” Drum shared. “These works can look realistic, but in fact, depict images which could not exist in reality. They also can combine digitally-produced panels and hand-painted panels.” Kirsten Fischler of Philadelphia has been working on reclaimed wood for over 20 years as the result of a faux finishing/painting mural business she owned. Presently, she strolls along the streets of Philadelphia in search of the perfect pieces of scrap wood and once they are in her masterful hands, each one is transformed into a remarkable creation. “I became intrigued and fascinated with the texture of the surfaces on which I painted. When I closed the business, I began incorporating my sample boards and old paintings into my new work by cutting and fitting the pieces together, then gluing them to a new surface. I was fascinated by the creation, destruction, and recreation process as a metaphor for life,” Fischler stated. She feels that the hard-edged corners and sections of her work contrast with her choice of ocean-inspired colors and seascapes. “I follow the grain of the wood as a natural design element, and cut the wood to follow the natural patterns of nature, but in a scientific, structured, manmade approach,” she continued. Also included in the exhibition was plein air painter Mary Beth Akre, who finds her inspiration in southern York County, Pennsylvania. She considers light to be an important aspect of her compositions, as well as color. Her representation of both reflects her personal emotional reaction to the landscape she is painting at any given time. She finds the constant changes in the sky fascinating, and skillfully

transfers her observations onto canvas. “The two paintings in the LBI show were done at Blevins Orchards, near Stewartstown, Pa. While I was painting the Peach Tree painting, about ﬁve guys came roaring up in a truck, to pick the very peaches that were in my composition! They were all smiling and laughing and telling me to put them in my painting, and I smiled and told them that they had to stay still! They only picked the ripe peaches, though, so I was able to continue and ﬁnish the painting with some peaches on the trees,” Akre shared.

Additional artists featured in “Aspects of Summer” include David Ahlsted, Martha Armstrong, Eliza Auth, Johnson Hom, Patricia Ingersoll, Delphine Poussot, Winn Rea, Joe Sweeney and Mary Wallman.

Kids Tackle Surf Fishing, With Help From Friends

aturday, Aug. 11 is the date that youth ages 5 to 17 are invited to Harvey Cedars for a half-day of fishing, with prizes and a free lunch for all participants and the parents or guardians who bring them. The town, plus local fishermen and police officers, host the popular Hooked on Fishing, Not on Drugs event that is designed to foster a deeper bond between young people and older family members as they share a few hours of fishing together. The entire event is free to the public. Last year was the seventh annual event on Long Beach Island. “We had 190 children register and they caught a total of 48 fish – not too shabby. We didn’t top (the 2010) total of 177 fish, but a good time was had by all,” reported Doug Brown and John Castrati from the Harvey Cedars Hooked on Fishing Not on Drugs Surf Fishing Tournament Committee. The event is sponsored by the Borough of Harvey Cedars, LBI Municipal Alliance, the LBI Fishing Club in Harvey Cedars, ASAC for Kids, PBA locals #175 and #373, and the local Drug Abuse Resistance Education program.

“A huge thank you to all the members, including their wives, children and friends, who helped make this event another success,” said Brown. “Once again we received numerous compliments from many sources on how well the tournament was run.” This year’s event is held 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 11, rain or shine. Registration begins 8 a.m. at Sunset Park, West Salem Avenue (at the water tower) in Harvey Cedars. Free T-shirts go to the first 200 who sign up. There will be educational booths on fishing, casting, knot tying and drug awareness. The morning fishing is on the oceanfront, with free bait and a limited number of surf rods to share. Participants should bring their own rods if available. In the afternoon, the children return to Sunset Park for a free lunch, trophy awards, gift bags and door prizes. The adult who brings the participant must remain during the entire event – after all, the whole idea is to deepen that bond between the two. For questions, call Brown at 609352-0481 (bdbrown57@yahoo.com) or Castrati (jcastrati@hotmail.com). — Neal Roberts

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the administrator of the huge Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge. This refuge starts at the southern end of Holgate and extends all the way to the Atlantic City Expressway and the undeveloped tip of Brigantine, back to the Atlantic City inlet. It extends west to the Garden State Parkway and beyond, including the Mullica River system and all of Great Bay that is not developed. This is an extensive amount of green marsh. This marsh is critical to all ﬁsheries. This is where the basic nutrients are found that make the entire bay ecosystem function. Roughly 43,000 acres in size, it is the East Coast’s largest wildlife refuge facing the Atlantic Ocean. Part of this area is buffered by the Pinelands refuge, which covers most of the eastern bank of the Mullica all the way to beyond Routes 70 and 72. This year the USFWS is offering four nature walks, each with a different topic, that explain the barrier islands and the huge ecosystem they represent. They begin sharply at 10 a.m., Thursday through Sunday, at the bulkhead beyond the parking lot at the end of the main Island road in Holgate. Lead by Donald Friday of the USFWS, the one-hour walks titled Evershifting Sands (Thursdays), Wilderness (Fridays), Shorebirds (Saturdays)

and Beachcombing (Sundays). Bring beach shoes, suntan lotion, a hat or cap and sunglasses. If there is no breeze, bring a good bug spray like the greenhead fly repellant available at bait and tackle shops. These walks are free. Visit www. fws.gov/northeast/forsythe or call 609-652-1665. Inshore The good news this week is that many ocean hot spots, including the artificial reefs, have nice-sized fluke in residence for the first time this year. In addition, there are a few super-size fluke over five pounds. So it is time to put out the effort to fluke fish. On Aug. 7, Kimberly Nassau, fishing with her husband and two sons on board Starfish seven miles off Holgate, won the boat pool by landing an unheard of double play: two keeper fluke (19 and 21 inches) at the same time on her high-low sea bass rig.

Offshore The Cape May boats are still reporting super great white marlin releases below the Baltimore Canyon. This is a long run for Long Beach Island boats. But past history suggests that over the next two weeks these fish will move north and be available about the middle of August until the first hurricane of the season. Tuna have started their summer program, with the best catches only by chunking or jigging. Those who have not tried jigging with the newer slab jigs must get their act together and try it. Not only does jigging work, but also the newer, super-light reels and jigging rods make this fishing worth the investment to buy this new style of fishing equipment. The biggest problem with the offshore fishing has been the terrible weather as cold fronts pass by. We now seem to be getting one a week. Take the time to check the weather before going offshore. The fronts the last

week were very strong, with winds much stronger than normal. Surf Surf fishermen are catching as many fish as anyone. There are good numbers of fluke, with a keeper or two on every trip. There are lots of blues. There are kingfish. There are blowfish and weakfish. Clearly, surf anglers are doing better than any other fishery. It takes time to find the best areas to fish, but worth your effort. Check with your bait and tackle dealer for the best area to fish. Bays Weakfish are still the best bet in the bays. But they do not like a lot of boat traffic. The legal limit is only one per person and must be 13 inches long. Live grass shrimp is the best bait. Shedder crab works as well and you do not need a lot of crab to catch weakfish. Several anglers have tried clam chum to attract weakfish and have had success. The biggest problem is the massive number of small

fish species in the bay. Do not let that bother you, because the idea is to catch fish. The good news is anglers are finding blowfish in the back bays in good numbers. These fish are great eating and worth the effort to catch. In the lagoons, several anglers have targeted peanut bunker using cast nets and frozen them for use later in the season. One of the strange items is they have caught these great baits even when the schools did not show on the surface. Several bait and tackle shops have fresh peanut bunker for sale. Buy a dozen and try them. Keep an eye on the weather. Pop’s Pride, fishing Little Egg Inlet on Sunday, had southwest winds over 30 miles an hour for most of the afternoon.

umnist and long-time fisherman can’t recall ever hearing about anyone nabbing two keeper fluke on the same rig. Mixed with the fluke are triggerfish. This year has the best showing of bigger triggers in years. Many triggers are over three pounds. If you fish over a small wreck that is not heavily fished, you will catch a lot of these fish, plus sea bass. Local artificial reefs had more boats fishing than any time this year. There are tropical fish, some strange and a few that everyone desires. Bottom fishermen have reported catching bullet mackerel. Small bluefish are everywhere, even at the Barnegat Ridges. Atlantic bonito have begun to show in numbers good enough to provide a catch that makes the effort a good choice. One Barnegat Light charter boat caught 24 bonito during their troll trip this week. The big Barnegat Light headboats Doris Mae IV and Miss Barnegat Light are still chumming the Barnegat Ridge and doing well every day and night. At the Beach Haven end of the Island, the number of bonito reported are less, with two or three landed for an hour trolling effort.

Shore Is Fun

Parasailing: ‘Pleasure of the Ride,’ and a Great View, Too Editor’s Note: Seventh 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 any of us local shore goers are faithful visitors of Long Beach Island. We’ve traveled practically every inch of the 18-mile haven from Holgate to Barnegat Light. We’ve seen the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean and the sunset over Barnegat Bay. But many of us probably haven’t seen the area from a bird’s eye view, 350 feet above ground. Well, I have! The sky was overcast, threatening scattered thunderstorms and a day to be spent indoors on a recent Thursday morning as I drove to Beach Haven Parasail in Beach Haven Gardens. Looming gray clouds sprinkled down a ﬁne mist, coating everything with a dewy glimmer. When I arrived at Bay Haven Marina, a group of 13-year-old girls and their mother, who had traveled from Morristown to spend the week on LBI, were ardently waiting on the dock, hoping for me to hurry up and get on the 34-foot parasail winchboat so we could motor out to the bay and become human kites. Pulling away from the pier, with music bumping in the background, Beach Haven Parasail owner Tracey Newsome snapped a photo of the four girls eagerly awaiting the trip. “This is just in case we lose one of you,” he said, joking. “Nah, we can’t get anything past you guys. “They were here yesterday,” he added, turning toward me. The girls had planned their parasail trip for July 18, but after watching a group of guys struggle with that day’s strong wind, Tracey decided to take the group back in and reschedule their trip for this day. “It was so windy yesterday,” emphasized Marina Piccolo, who claimed she wasn’t one bit nervous about parasailing for the ﬁrst time. “We watched as two of the guys came down and

landed on the boat after (parasailing), and they were wobbling all over the place, trying to keep their feet on the ground,” she added, a hint of underlying fear in her voice. Good parasailing conditions really depend on the strength of the wind and a person’s weight. According to Tracey, an individual or combined weight of 120 pounds is sufficient enough on a day when the wind is blowing at five miles per hour, or less. If the wind is moving faster than 20 miles an hour, at least 250 pounds of weight is needed to guarantee a safe, steady ride. Tracey has been in the parasailing and water sport business for 30 years. He originally ran a charter boat business in Boston before moving to Florida and manning a boat that traveled with nearly 100 people on-board at a time. Eight years later, he was introduced to the owners of the Black Whale Cruises dock marina in Beach Haven, where he chartered yacht goers back and forth between the Island and Atlantic City. A couple of years after that, he took over the parasail business at Bay Haven Marina, where he’s been working ever since. “I love everything about this job,” Tracey said with a big grin. “People always come back with a smile on their face. It’s not like fishing, where people come back angry if they haven’t caught any fish. Since the whole time I’ve been in this business, maybe only two or three people have come back from the trip upset. Even the people who don’t really seem into it, at first, come back happy.” Besides Marina and I, the rest of the group had already been parasailing before. Kelsey McCluskey, Mary Grace Vallacchi and her mother, Grace Vallacchi, had given the sport a try with Beach Haven Parasail in 2011. “We’ve been renting on Long Beach Island on and off for the past 20 years,” said Grace. “We tried parasailing last year with these same guys, and we loved it. So we came back to do it again.”

UNAFRAID: Marina Piccolo (left), on her second ride, and Kelley Anne are happy ﬂiers.

After reaching the middle of the bay, Tracey suggested I take a seat while Aaron Milks, the aeronautical pararigging technician (a fancy title he gave himself), let out 500 feet of line and opened up the large, colorful parachute, which blossomed like a flower sprouting to life in fast-forward in a nature movie clip. Aaron is working his third season at Beach Haven Parasail. He was just about to head back to Chicago after working in the Coast Guard on Long Beach Island, when Mandee Bellarosa, a friend of his who has worked at the marina the past nine years, helped him get this job. “It’s fun working here, because people come in looking for a great, unique time,” said Aaron. “Parasailing is so smooth and tranquil; it’s like you’re floating in the air. And you get that bird’s eye view of the whole Island.” Kelsey and Marina were the first to parasail on this trip. Grins spread across their faces before they were even hoisted into the air. As Tracey operated the hydraulic

winch system, which slowly lifted the two girls above the bay, Aaron quickly snapped a photo and encouraged them to wave. “Most people calm down when they’re about 20 or 30 feet away from the boat. As soon as they let their hands go in the air, they realize how secure they are,” Tracey explained. A typical ride with Beach Haven Parasail lasts between 12 and 14 minutes. Trips are only taken on the bay, where the water is warmer and calmer than the ocean. Aaron explained that a ride over the bay is also better because you get a beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean, the Island, Barnegat Bay and the mainland. After a bit, Tracey decided it was time to bring Kelsey and Marina down for the big free fall dip in the bay. “Let’s get these girls wet! They’re coming down!” he shouted. As Tracey pressed down on the lever of the winch system, the girls slowly began descending toward the bay. Giggles and excited yells erupted as their feet hit the water. Continued on Page 26

I held on for dear life, until everyone on the boat waved at us, at which time I waved back and felt all of my anxiety float away.

Beach Books

Life Under the Offshore Ocean By MARGARET BUCHHOLZ n his new book, Beneath the Garden State: Exploring Aquatic New Jersey, photographer Herb Segars takes us on a colorful journey that captures the marine life, artificial reefs and shipwrecks in the unfamiliar world under the sea off the Jersey Shore. How often have you wished you could be magically transported to the bottom of the sea, there to see the fantastic creatures that call the seabed home? Segars’ book is a garden of exotic delights – see the close-up of blue mussels on page 25 and the anemones on 26 and 27 – and subterranean monsters. The sea raven on pages 44 and 45 wins the horror award and the goosefish on page 61 is a runnerup. The author ’s Nikon D300, in a Subal housing with strobes and lights, has captured a world we know is there but rarely, if ever, see – and not in black and white. In an interview with The Beachcomber 20 years ago, Segars talked about his underwater explorations: “For me, summer at the Jersey Shore is a time of constant thrills. While scuba diving, I experience weightlessness without leaving the Earth. Unharmed, I have been within inches of a three-foot-long predator, the aggressive goosefish, devouring dinner with its huge mouth. I have watched sea horses move effortlessly, like a fluid herd of their terrestrial namesakes. Without looking at the heavens, I have seen thousands of stars in the form of starfish sprinkled across the sand.” Most people will never have the opportunity to visit the rich marine community that exists underwater, but Beneath the Garden State will take you there. One destination for photographic exploration is on one of the thousands of shipwrecks or artificial reefs that lie within 20 miles of the coast. Segars says, “Rolling over the side of the boat

SPLASHDOWN: This is Capt. Tracey Newsome’s favorite part: dunking the guests.

Shore Is Fun

Continued from Page 24 “The bay is 85 degrees; it’s like being dunked in a bathtub,” Aaron remarked. Next, it was Mary Grace and her mother’s turn. With huge smiles plastered on their faces, the two of them waved furiously the moment they began ascending into the air. “Most people leave like this,” said Tracey, holding his arms near his face with his hands balled in tight fists. “And come back like this,” he concluded, his arms in the air. Laughing, I hoped that I would feel the same way when it was finally my turn. Because I only weigh 95 pounds and the minimum weight requirement for the day was 120 pounds, when considering the low wind speed, I decided I would have Marina join me. This way, I could meet the weight requirement, and all of the girls on the boat could say that they had gone parasailing twice. After strapping on a life jacket and stepping into a harness, I anxiously awaited my departure. When Mary Grace and her mother arrived onboard, Aaron led Marina and me to the back of the boat, where he buckled us into the tandem bar. Sitting down, with the harness positioned underneath our legs, he grabbed his camera for a quick goodbye photo while Tracey manned the winch system. And up we went. I held on for dear life, until everyone on the boat waved at us, at which time I waved back and felt all of my anxiety float away. The sky was gray, which made it difficult to make out the different shops and restaurants that dotted the coastline. Yet gliding around in the air was so peaceful, I realized that, at

least for me, the trip was more about the pleasure of the ride than it was about the view. I was surprised by how safe I felt, even 350 feet above water. Leaning back in the harness, I was reminded of those slow, spinning swing rides found at amusement parks, which I loved as a young girl and still love to this day. When Marina and I noticed we were descending for the free fall dip, she told me to keep my mouth shut so I wouldn’t swallow any saltwater. I just wish she had told me that my bathing suit bottom might fall down! “That’s why I held mine up,” she said, laughing at me. We were pulled back up before Tracey dipped us into the bay again, and then gently dragged us back to the boat. This time, I kept my mouth shut and my bathing suit bottom up. Getting out of the harness and life vest, I realized I hadn’t brought a towel. I was freezing, so I quickly slipped into my tank top and shorts, while Tracey and Aaron packed up the parachute. As we arrived back on land, another group of customers were already lined up, excitedly waiting to get onboard. Stepping out of their way, I wished them a happy and safe trip.

into the green Atlantic water, my first sensation is one of mild shock as the cold water flushes away the body heat accumulated in the 80-degree sunshine. With visibility at 20 feet, I must follow the anchor line to the bottom 80 feet below. The trip down is far from dull, as the mid-water is full of life. There are thousands of comb jellies, translucent bodies lined with fluorescent, multicolored canals. I see small fish taking refuge in the trailing tentacles of the lion’s mane jellyfish while a solitary sea horse seems lost on a journey with an unknown end. “In a few short minutes, the ship’s dark shape appears. The steel hull and the decks have acquired a covering that requires closer inspection. Colonies of blue mussels cover much of the hull. They anchor themselves with a number of threads that emanate from each mussel’s body and are secured to the hull with a waterproof adhesive. Competing for surface area on the hull and decks is the metridium anemone, a flowerlike animal that uses its tentacles to collect plankton.” Segars shines his light into the nooks and crannies until he spots a pair of antennae waving back and forth – the early warning system of the North American lobster, the Jersey diver’s favorite quarry. But his mission is not a lobster dinner. “As I move toward the bow, I see shafts of sunlight illuminate a dark corner of the engine room. The light creates an eerie mood as the rays dance with every movement of the clouds over the sun. Moving onto the upper deck, I am greeted by schools of bergalls, the most abundant species on the wreck. While I pause to admire the view, the extremely curious fish move closer and closer, drawn by their reflections in my camera lens. Soon they become pests, dive bombing in front of my lens just as I take a photograph. I do not feel frustrated, just privileged Continued on Page 29

SWEET: You never know what alien life-form might shift its gaze in your direction.

Tan Lines

By MANDY MILES took up as much room as possible. I spread out two beach towels, threw a backpack about 12 feet from my canvas chair and jettisoned a shirt somewhere near the lifeguard stand. With the impenetrable beach perimeter thus established, I had only to defend my sandy fortress from interlopers until my back-up arrived with kids, coolers and more towels. Such is the responsibility of whoever arrives ﬁrst to the beach, and it’s one that we in my family take very seriously – until someone (perhaps me) nods off with a magazine on her chest. There was a severe security breach in sector one (near the Caesars Palace beach towel) and I was now just inches from a foreign canvas beach chair and a small child holding out French fries to an advancing army of sea gulls. It always happens. Always. I either have to break camp and reestablish another perimeter, or await the military tribunal that arrives with my mother and father, who wonder how they could have raised such an inept moron who cannot defend 10 square feet of sand at the Jersey Shore. I await the tribunal (after another short nap to prepare myself) and apologize profusely, while blaming the invaders and secretly kicking sand on their blanket and smallest child. I should be used to this, and better at it, because it always happens at the beach. Always. There are certain universal truths that take place at any beach. My nap during a key period in our defense is one. Kids darting full speed into and out of the water is another. And once they are beckoned out of the water for lunch, a nap or just to get some color back into their blue lips, they will dig a giant hole. Always. Grown-ups will discuss the water temperature in relation to the date, while moving their feet simultaneously to make symmetrical patterns in the sand in front of their beach chairs. They

will read the banner planes aloud and comment on the ad, while also gauging how long it will take the incoming tide to force a relocation. Always. Women will turn their chairs every half hour or so to follow the sun. They will flip over and hold their arms at odd angles to ensure an even tan. Men will face the ocean. Always. They will not turn their chairs, adjust their position or remove their sunglasses to prevent “raccoon eyes.” They may turn their heads quietly to follow a tiny bikini that barely covers its owner, but their chairs face the water. Always. And wet sand leads to drip castles. No matter how old you are, if there is wet sand within reach of your fingertips, you will, at some point, drizzle it through your fingertips and watch it drip into a “castle” that looks more like a melted candle than a sandcastle. But it’s fun, and sort of addictive. Other people are likely smarter than I, and actually wear shoes to the beach. Not me. I hate the feeling of sand in flip-flops rubbing against my skin. Apparently I prefer the burning sensation that starts on the sole of my foot and works its way up my calf as I cross the sand with increasing speed. Sometimes I actually have to stand on a stranger’s towel, or in the shadow of their umbrella to stop the sizzle for a bit before continuing toward the hardpacked, wet sand. You can bet that someone will miss a football, someone else will miss a Frisbee and a small child will fall asleep under a towel. Someone will be shocked awake by the incoming tide as their family and friends look on laughing. Someone else will be nearly impaled by an errant umbrella that was not installed properly. These things happen. Always. Yet we all clamor toward the sand and saltwater every chance we get. And some people just have no sense of personal space, which is why I take up as much room as possible and defend my perimeter – until the nap, that is. Q

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

Beach Books

Continued from Page 26 that they have become so at ease and accept my presence. “With a few minutes of air left, I drop off the side of the ship to investigate life in the sand. A four-inchwide trail leads me to a brownish colored, pancake-shaped sea urchin. It has a very recognizable name, the sand dollar. After a sand dollar dies, tiny spines fall off and the skeleton turns white. What does not disappear is the urchin’s star-shaped insignia, a real attraction as a nautical novelty. “I begin a turn back toward the boat, placing my hand down onto the sand and am startled as the bottom explodes. My initial fright quickly

turns to amusement as I watch a winter ﬂounder that I rudely disturbed fade into the far reaches of my visibility. Nearby, a little skate hovers, then cruises, looking for tasty morsels in the sand.” With over 230 brilliant color photos and Segars’ illuminating descriptions – most photographers do not write so well – this unique, large format book offers a look at the strange and beautiful animals found in Atlantic waters off New Jersey. Beneath the Garden State (2012) is from Schiffer Publishing, $29.95, schifferbk@aol.com. Q Margaret Thomas Buchholz is author of the newly released book Josephine: A Memoir 1917-1959, From Washington Working Girl to Fisherman’s Wife. Reach her at lbipooch@comcast.net.
