Longboard Classic Surfing Aids Alliance for a Living Ocean he date was Monday, Sept. 7, 1987 and the topic was ocean dumping. It was the day after Karen Kiss and the Concerned Taxpayers of Surf City had just pulled off the immense “Hands Across Long Beach Island” – a human chain estimated at 60,000 people to protest what was then the legal disposal of vast amounts of urban waste into the ocean, some of which in the summer of 1987 began closing New Jersey beaches and, possibly, was a factor in a shocking dieoff of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins that washed ashore. “People are upset. They’re ticked off. But they’re not sure who to ﬁght,” said Ken Smith, who was director of the N.J. Shore and Beach Preservation Association. And from that meeting of about 20 people, a new group was founded, and incorporated by Manahawkin lawyer John Woodland under the name Alliance for a Living Ocean. “The mission of the Alliance for a Living Ocean shall be to promote and maintain clean water and a healthy

coastal environment through education, research and active participation. We recognize the need to manage our entire watershed, bay and ocean since all water flows from the raindrop to the ocean,” states ALO at its website livingocean.org. Now 25 years later, after ALO was a major factor in pushing through a federal law to end ocean dumping, the grassroots organization is looking to the public for a new infusion of volunteers and financial support. A timely way to get involved is to come out to the Long Beach Island Longboard Classic Surf Contest, Environmental Fair and Beach Concert, beginning 8 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 18 at the 110th Street (Virginia Avenue) surfing beach in Haven Beach. “The event is named the ‘Classic’ because only vintage longboards will be allowed, and the contestants will be scored by classic contest criteria such as noserides, hanging ten, cheater fives, dropknee turns, fin first takeoffs, spinners, length of ride and cross-stepping style,” states a press

n the mood for sprucing up your home décor, or do you need a gift from the shore for someone not so lucky as you to be here? Hunt around in Beach Haven, Harvey Cedars or Spray Beach for what you’re seeking. Get started first at the Beachfest II Arts and Crafts Festival, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 18, at Veterans Bicentennial Park, Engleside Avenue in Beach Haven. The event is a follow-up to the season’s first festival in July, according to show host Pam Patullo, who donates to the local volunteer fire company and first aid squad in appreciation to the community. The show is well received, and eagerly anticipated by the public, she said. “There’s probably a thousand people who come through,” she said.

“We have a wide variety of artists and crafts, all handmade.” There are also vendors with jewelry, clothing and stained glass, to mention a few. Guitarist Ed Austin will perform again, and Cheryl Palermo of The Main Course will provide local ﬂavor with such items as lobster rolls, lobster stew and sea-seasoned French fries. The event goes on rain or shine – unless it is a downpour, in which case Patullo has the option to reschedule for Sunday (call her to conﬁrm, 732682-3230). Meanwhile, the annual Blue Claw Craft Show runs 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 18, rain or shine, at Sunset Park, Harvey Cedars (West Salem Avenue, near the water tower). Hosted by the Harvey Cedars Activity Committee, this event is also limited to original, handmade crafts. Food will

be available for sale by the Barnegat Light First Aid Squad. Then on the following day, stop by the annual Jewish Community Center of LBI Art Festival, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 19, at 24th Street and the Boulevard, Spray Beach, rain or shine. Everything for sale is original artwork at this indoor, outdoor show and fundraiser for the JCC. Food and beverages will be available for purchase. — Neal Roberts

ALO’s Environmental Fair will be a festival of local environmental organizations and ‘greenminded’ companies such as Surfrider Foundation, ReClam the Bay, Barnegat Bay Partnership, Clean Ocean Action, Save Barnegat Bay, Garden Club of LBI, LBI Foundation of Arts and Sciences, and Tuckerton Seaport.” All proceeds from the contest registrations, plus sales of T-shirts and other items to spectators, will beneﬁt ALO and help it continue its vital role for protecting the Island’s greatest natural resource: the ocean. — Neal Roberts

Surflight Theatre Legendary Comic, Jazz Guitarists on Tap By RICK MELLERUP hey don’t call Monday and Wednesday evenings at Beach Haven’s Surflight Theatre the “Catch a Rising Star Comedy and Concert Series” for nothing. Monday, Aug. 20, will feature comedy, in the form of the legendary comic Pat Cooper. Wednesday, Aug. 22, will feature concerts by legendary jazz guitarists John and Bucky Pizzarelli. The word legendary is not being used loosely here. Pat Cooper got his ﬁrst big break on “The Jackie Gleason Show” way back in 1963. He then went on to perform in the top nightclubs across the country – yep, they were called nightclubs, not comedy clubs in those days – sharing bills with people such as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, Tony Bennett, Sammy Davis Jr., Connie Francis and Bobby Darin. Most of those people are only memories now but Cooper, at 83, is still going strong. Cooper has stuck with a number of comic themes over the years. Born

Pasquale Caputo in Brooklyn, he’s often used his Italian heritage as a springboard for routines. He’s also made familial observations a huge part of his schtick, which caused some controversy over the years because he was estranged from his family for decades. (He explained once he’d observe other people and for the sake of simplicity just pretend he was talking about his family in his act.) However, Cooper’s style is most defined by his anger – and sometimes it is difficult to figure out if it is feigned or real. To say the man can go on first-class rants is an understatement, as listeners to “The Howard Stern Show,” on which he often appeared, can attest. In many past Beachcomber previews of Catch a Rising Star comics, examples of their standup acts have been proffered. Not this time – we’d have to bleep out too many words. Oh, Cooper isn’t your classic dirty comedian. But when he’s on a rant… More proof the word legendary isn’t

being used here in a casual manner: Comedy Central rated Cooper as the 69th greatest standup comic of all time. Cooper’s Aug. 20 show will commence at 8 p.m. Tickets range from $40 to $89 (for premium seating). Continued on Page 10

‘ParaNorman’ Is Admirable; Just Not Very Memorable By RACHAEL K. BOSLEY hen director Henry Selick became the first filmmaker to tackle a 3-D stop-motionanimated feature with “Coraline” (2009), he set a high bar, creating a creepy, vivid and coherent vision (based on Neil Gaiman’s novel) that was genuinely enhanced rather than merely decorated by stereoscopy. Buoyed by the success of the movie, Laika, the animation studio that brought Selick’s vision to life, committed to 3-D feature production and immediately began looking around for material for its next project. The result, “ParaNorman,” arrives in movie theaters today. The comparisons to “Coraline” are inevitable, which in a way is unfortunate, because although “ParaNorman,” too, focuses on a lonely child, it is very different in tone, concept and design. In Selick’s film, the supernatural world seemed to spring from the deep anxiety Coraline harbored about her family life, and the threads of melancholy and dread woven throughout the story were unique for a PG-rated animated film. Selick also put 3-D to imaginative use, varying gradations of depth in the image to suggest how far Coraline had progressed into the dangerous Other World. “ParaNorman,” on the other hand, would play just as well in a standard 2-D presentation. The use

of 3-D is barely noticeable, suggesting that it was more of an edict from Laika than an interest of the ﬁlmmakers. In writing the script, Chris Butler, who co-directed the movie with Sam Fell, created a comedic take on the triumph-of-the-underdog, one that pays homage to the movies that shaped (or misshaped) him in his youth, including John Carpenter’s “Halloween,” Richard Donner’s “The Goonies,” and scores of low-budget zombie flicks that are probably better left nameless. Butler was also keen to deliver an anti-bullying message, which is, unfortunately, always timely. Unlike Coraline, Norman is on good terms with those who dwell in the spirit world. Like the boy in “The Sixth Sense,” he sees dead people, but they do not torment him; they greet him on his walk to school and converse with him in everyday fashion. This makes Norman an object of ridicule at school, where he suffers at the hands of a meatheaded bully, and a source of concern for his parents, who are alarmed to hear that Norman’s late grandmother would prefer the house a little warmer. Butler and Fell and their army of collaborators at Laika do a beautiful job of establishing Norman’s town, Blithe Hollow (a thinly veiled Salem, Mass.), as a tangible, realistic-looking place and populating it with some unconventional-looking characters, many of them barrel-chested and/or pot-bellied men and absurdly hippy

PEER PRESSURE: Norman dreads the daily walk past his classmates to enter school in ‘ParaNorman.’

women. The film’s character designer, Heidi Smith, is an art-school grad who is new to animation, and her work will come as a shock to viewers expecting the sleek, handsome humans typical of American movies. Everything is slightly askew in the world of “ParaNorman” – there are no straight lines in the sets or the people – and this is signified in the tiniest way by the fact that every character has one eye that is slightly larger than the other. In terms of design, photography and animation, the film is impeccable. Where it falls short is in the story department. Despite a succinct 88-minute running time, the movie feels long, as though Butler ran out of ideas once he established the setup and got most of the visual gags out of the way. And he essentially did: Not long after the movie begins, Norman’s kooky, estranged great-uncle corners the boy in town and tells him he is the only one who can stave off an ancient witch’s curse

that is about to raise the dead in the local cemetery, and from that point on, the ﬁlm’s sole concern is whether Norman can transform himself from outcast to hero in time to placate the witch and keep the zombies at bay. The suspense of this race against time is mitigated, rather oddly, by the early revelation that the zombies are, in fact, simply misunderstood, restless souls who would like to die in peace, once and for all. They’re not terrifying; they’re just tired. Thanks to the fundamental decency of its message and the quality of its craftsmanship, “ParaNorman” is admirable, and for a children’s ﬁlm, perhaps that is enough. But with each stop-motion feature taking two or three years to realize, it’s hard not to wish every one were memorable and inspiring as well. Q Rachael K.

GoodTimes Surflight Theatre Continued from Page 8 Bucky and John Pizzarelli, father and son, can also be fairly classiﬁed as legends. Bucky, the father, is now 86 and his credentials are sterling. He started his professional career in 1944 as a member of the Vaughn Monroe dance band. In 1952 he hooked up with NBC, ﬁrst playing with Skitch Henderson and then, beginning in 1964, with the Doc Severinsen Band on “The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.” Here’s an interesting trivia tidbit: he tuned Tiny Tim’s ukulele before TT married Miss Vickie on one of the highest-rated “Tonight Show” programs ever. Over the decades, Bucky has performed, recorded and/or toured with the likes of Benny Goodman, Zoot Sims, Wes Montgomery, Herbie Hancock, harmonica master Toots Thielemans, Les Paul, George Benson, Lionel Hampton and Dexter Gordon. Now residing in Saddle River, N.J., he has released 11 albums during his long career, and collaborated on four more. He has played the White House three times, and is a member of both the ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) Jazz Wall of Fame and the New Jersey Hall of Fame. “Guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli’s superior range of harmonic qualities,” says the Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians, “has made him equally effective as a soloist as with an ensemble. Bucky’s clear tone, reminiscent of his mentor, clarinetist Benny Goodman, enables him to seamlessly move back and forth between swing and more modern styles of jazz.” The senior Pizzarelli also had another skill: siring musicians! One son, Martin, is a professional bassist who has recorded with both his dad and brother. A daughter, Mary, is a classical guitarist. Finally, there’s John. John, 52, has overshadowed his dad, recording 23 albums of his own and contributing on more than 40 albums of others including James Taylor, Rosemary Clooney and his wife,

Jessica Molaskey. She, by the way, is a torch singer who has appeared in a dozen Broadway shows – the Pizzarellis appear determined to keep a solid musical gene pool alive. (The family has always been chock full of musicians, as Bucky learned from his uncles, pros Pete and Bobby Dominick.) An admirer of Nat King Cole, John has an easygoing, crowd-winning personality. Heading the John Pizzarelli Trio, with his brother and pianist Ray Kennedy, he opened for Sinatra throughout the U.S. and Europe in 1993, and he has teamed with artists such as James Taylor, Natalie Cole, Rickie Lee Jones and Stephane Grapelli. His trio also performs regularly with symphonies and pop orchestras such as the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the New York Pops. John and Bucky, who proved popular last summer when playing Surflight, will perform two shows on Aug. 22, starting at 6 and 8 p.m. Tickets range from $50 to $89.

By ERIC ENGLUND Long Beach Island Branch Ocean County Library Central Avenue, Surf City (609-494-2480) Jazz, rhythm and blues, pop and gospel are all on the menu when Leticia Walker sings in concert Monday, Aug. 20, 7 p.m. Walker has been performing for approximately 30 years. She has “lost count” of the number of songs in her repertoire. Her concerts usually feature renditions of “I Wanna Be Around,” “The Shadow of Your Smile,” “McArthur Park” and “Copacabana.” Walker will be backed by a keyboardist, bassist and drummer. “I never get stuck on a certain set list,” said the Wall Township resident. “I like so many kinds of music. I want to give the audience a good variety.” She said her major inﬂuences include Judy Garland, Gladys Knight, Frank Sinatra, Dionne Warwick, Luther Vandross and Barry Manilow. “I also like doing some show tunes,” she said. “I like some country, and I have always been a big fan of Dolly Parton. When I sing, I like to bring some emotional intensity, to give people a real feel for the song.” While Walker has been a ﬁxture on the supper club scene, she also has brought entertainment to prisons, nursing homes and rehabilitation centers. She has sung in choirs for various churches and choruses for Broadway musicals. “When it comes to singing, I’ve never had any doubt about what I wanted to do,” she said. “My life has always been wrapped around music, scored like a movie or a Broadway show.” Dr. Robin Shapiro will discuss her book Touchstones: Essays on Spirituality and Healing, on Wednesday, Aug. 22, 10 a.m. A chiropractic physician and former Holgate resident, Shapiro said the book is a collection of essays on how everyday experiences offer opportunities for healing. “It could be a family meal, which could be a time for love and compassion,” she said. “Or maybe walking on the beach in December, when it may be quite cold but you enjoy the quiet of the moment.” The author is owner of Be Well America, a school in Barnegat Township that offers a variety of classes, approaches and support systems for people seeking answers regarding health issues and personal well-being. It incorporates both Western and Eastern methodologies. She also described her book as a

“call to action.” “Since everything is impermanent and everyone is impermanent, healing must unfold now,” she said. “Touchstones will help the reader become more aware of how precious this human life is and move in the world in a way that can bring about inner peace.” High school students looking to further their education are invited to a talk by Steven Roy Goodman titled “How the Top 100 Universities Select Their Students,” Thursday, Aug. 23, 10 a.m. A Washington-based educational consultant and admissions strategist, Goodman is the author of College Admissions Together: It Takes a Family. “It’s very important for the child and the parents to be on the same page,” said Goodman. “The student may want to go to a liberal arts college, engineering school or a women’s college. Goals have to be clearly outlined before you begin the application process.” He said the typical college admissions committee spends an average of just seven minutes with each application. “Behind closed doors, your child’s entire high school record will be scrutinized,” said Goodman. “This includes course selection, grades, standardized tests scores and teacher recommendations.” Goodman said that just because a student ﬁnished at or near the top of his or her class is no guarantee that they can get into the university they desire. “You are competing against many other graduates with the similar credentials,” he said. “It’s like when you apply for a job: the company wants to know what you can offer them. Colleges are the same way. They want to know what you can do for the university. So you need to present an application that grabs their attention.” Have a question about county services? The Ocean County Connection van will stop by on Friday, Aug. 24, from 11 a.m. to noon. Staffers will be on hand to discuss senior/ veteran services, voter registration, recreational opportunities, consumer protection and any other concerns on your mind. For the children, the branch will offer gaming fun on Tuesday, Aug. 21, 10:30 a.m. Youngsters ages 7 and up can participate in Wii, board games and card games in a program sponsored by the Friends of the branch. Both kids and adults can have fun on Family Bingo Night on Aug. 22, 7 p.m. Q

Yacht Club Centennial Featured In Monday Talk at Island Museum

rank Crumbaugh, rector of the Episcopal Church of The Holy Innocents in Beach Haven, has an obvious affection for history. When Surflight Theatre presented the classic musical “1776,” Crumbaugh was among some local amateur actors in 1999 who auditioned for a part. He landed the role of Benjamin Franklin and performed so convincingly as one of this nation’s Founding Fathers, he was given the opportunity to reprise that role again at the Surﬂight in 2007. He also has an afﬁnity for sailing. Soon after he became pastor of the local church here 15 years ago, he looked into joining the Little Egg Harbor Yacht Club. “I’ve been a member of the yacht club since I moved here,” he said. This year, the LEHYC marks its centennial. Father Crumbaugh, then, seems an ideal candidate to present a program on the esteemed club’s history.

Museum. “1912 was quite a year: the Titanic sank, the Beach Haven School opened, (New Jersey) Gov. Woodrow Wilson was elected President, and the Little Egg Harbor Yacht Club was founded,” states the program note of the Long Beach Island Historical Association. “This presentation will examine the part the yacht club has played in local life over the past century,” Crumbaugh outlined. His program will examine life before and in 1912: “the development of American yachting and the local culture merged, and how that inﬂuenced the Borough of Beach Haven.” He said he would tap his formal training in the study of history, together with acute powers of observation and interpretation, for this presentation. The museum is located at Beach and Engleside avenues in Beach Haven.

oin the Barnegat Light Historical Society for its Historical Homes and Garden Tour on Thursday, Aug. 23 from 2 to 5 p.m. The fundraiser will showcase six historical homes located in Barnegat Light. Five of the homes featured on the tour are Victorian structures, built in the late 1800s, when the town was originally established as Barnegat City. The sixth home is an oceanfront oasis constructed in 1937, which encompasses five acres of land, a rare find on Long Beach Island. The tour will also highlight St. Peter’s-at-the-Light Episcopal Church on 7th and Central Avenue, which was originally assembled in 1890 as a chapel for guests staying at the Oceanic Hotel. Two lush gardens will be featured on the tour as well, including the Edith Duff Gwinn Garden at the Barnegat Light Museum, which is maintained by members of the Garden Club of Long Beach Island. The celebrated outing only takes place every few years, so don’t delay! Tickets cost $25 each. “We only sell 200 tickets, and that’s a big thing because there aren’t any long lines,” expressed Diane Adams, curator and docent of the Barnegat Light Historical Society for nearly 10 years. “The owners are in the homes during the tour, and they love to talk to the guests about the history of the home, what they did to renovate it, ghost stories, whatever,” she added. The Barnegat Light Historical Society is also hosting its annual Wine and Cheese Party that very same day. Anyone interested in taking a peek inside the Barnegat Light Museum, located on Central Avenue at 5th Street, is welcome to stop by the exhibition hall any time between 3 and 6 p.m. for finger food and beverages, as well as a comprehensive look at the museum’s local, histori-

And people make cookies and little ﬁnger foods that they are known for here,” relished Adams. “We have red and white wine, soda, iced tea, punch. The guests help themselves in the museum, and then a lot of them go out and just mingle in the gardens. It’s very nice; it’s very pretty. All the people dress up and go out in the gardens. It’s a moment in time,” she described. The museum is inside the town’s old one-room schoolhouse, which was used from 1903 to 1954. The museum is on the National Register of Historical Places and houses relics, reproductions and snapshots, illustrating the history of Barnegat Light and the rest of the 18-mile Island. One of the museum’s most fascinating pieces is the First Order Flashing Lens from Barnegat Lighthouse, put in service Jan. 1, 1859. The town’s old post ofﬁce mailboxes, kitchen appliances from immigrants who came to work at the docks, animal and plant fossils, and postcards autographed by famous individuals are just some of the exhibit’s other exciting characteristics.

Island Landmarks

Barnegat Light Museum: Old Place With New Thrill By KELLEY ANNE ESSINGER istory is thriving at the Barnegat Light Museum, located at 501 Central Avenue, across the street from the site of the old Oceanic Hotel, which was torn down in 1919 after succumbing to erosion. The museum is the town’s former one-room schoolhouse that operated from 1903 to 1954, when the town was known as Barnegat City before becoming Barnegat Light in 1949. The old schoolroom provided education for students from kindergarten through sixth grade, before they attended the original Barnegat High School on the mainland. Many of the museum’s members are former students of the Barnegat Light schoolhouse. “My favorite thing about working here is chatting with everyone about the schoolhouse and the school log and the compass,” said docent Marc Lipman. “We’re very interactive here. The museum is small, but you could spend hours going through this stuff and never really see it all,” he added. The museum opened immediately following the closing of the old schoolroom. It was commenced by the Barnegat Light Historical Society – an all-volunteer, nonproﬁt organization initiated by a group of people dedicated to keeping the history of Barnegat Light and the rest of Long Beach Island alive and available to the public. The museum was the area’s only historical museum until 1976, when the Long Beach Island Historical Association opened the Long Beach Island Museum in Beach Haven. Many of the Barnegat Light Museum’s earliest artifacts were donated by Norwegian immigrants who came to Barnegat Light in the ’20s. Silverware, dishes, coffee grinders and meat grinders are some of the pieces in the exhibit. Immigrants came to Barnegat Light to work on the area’s commercial

pound fishing boats. Pound fishing, phased out in the mid ’50s, consisted of catching fish in large nets that were placed in the ocean beyond the surf line and held together by large poles driven into the sea bottom. Fishermen would motor out to the nets in Sea Bright skiffs – small boats still used today by lifeguards – and collect the fish before shipping their catch to local fish markets. A model of a pound fishing net is just one of the museum’s special highlights. Memorabilia featuring the U.S. Coast Guard’s famous mascot Sinbad, a mixed-breed dog adopted by a crewman from the cutter Campbell in 1938, is another one of the museum’s favorite aspects. Sinbad traveled around the world as an enlisted Coast Guard member for 11 years before retiring to the Barnegat Light station. He died in 1951 and is buried beneath the station’s flagstaff. The museum’s most prized feature is the firstorder flashing lens from the Barnegat Lighthouse, built by French physicist Augustin Fresnel. The lens was removed and sent to the Tompkinsville Lighthouse Depot on Staten Island in 1927, when the lightship Barnegat was stationed off Barnegat Inlet. The lens was returned to Barnegat Light in 1954 and has been at the museum ever since. A friendship quilt given to the first lighthouse keeper’s daughter in the 1860s was found in the attic of a woman’s house in Olympia, Washington. It was donated to the museum in 1981. The museum is also famous for its collection of bird decoys. The decoys represent a time when bird hunting in the area was especially popular. It is said that President Grover Cleveland traveled to the Island to partake in the popular sport. A large, pot-belly coal stove from the old schoolroom is another notable exhibit. Not only was it used to heat the building, it was also used to keep students’ lunches warm. The school’s

teacher earned $10 extra a year if the school was warm when the children came in. The museum also houses the town’s old post office boxes. To this day, no mail is delivered to any of the homes in Barnegat Light; residents collect their mail from the post office on 10th Street. Mrs. Hanson’s autograph collection is located in the back of the museum, near the old mailboxes. Hanson never left Barnegat Light, but she accrued an impressive autograph collection, including signatures from Eleanor Roosevelt, J. Edgar Hoover, President Gerald Ford and First Lady Betty Ford, Helen Keller, and President Richard M. Nixon. “I’m very interested in history, and Hanson’s autograph collection really amazes me,” said Karen Larson, president of the Barnegat Light Histori- KNOWS THIS TOWN: Karen Larson grew up here. cal Society and Museum.

Kids’ Final ‘Art Party’ at Bayview Park

ayview Park at 68th Street in Brant Beach is the scene for the summer’s last Bayview Park Art Party beginning 11 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 21. “This free event introduces visitors to some of LBI’s local artists and their work, while hosting fun, interactive art projects,” states Tracy Simons, director of LBI Artists & Crafters. “All materials are provided for participants to create their own work of art to take home.” Crafts such as seashell art, mosaic handprints in the sand, and recycledbottle sailboats are for ages 5 to 12. “We added this free Art Party series to our Bayview Park free family events this summer as a way for kids

and families to ‘meet and greet’ the wonderful variety of LBI artists and crafters who want to share their gifts and talents with our younger residents and summer visitors,” remarked Joni Bakum, Bayview Park director. “Tracy and I wanted the art parties to be a way to involve the kids and their families with the LBI Artists & Crafters organization while doing something creative and fun for themselves. Everyone leaves with a treasure from what has evolved into a treasured time together on LBI.” The last in the summer ’s Free Art Parties at Bayview Park follows a 10 a.m. “ReShell the Bay” program

Shore Is Fun

First-Time Surfer Remains First-Time Surfer Editor’s Note: Eighth 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 ’ve done some pretty body-intense things this summer, from riding a waverunner in 25-mile-an-hour wind, to practicing yoga on a stand-up paddleboard in the bay. But out of all those exhausting activities, none of them compared to the grueling workout I underwent during a one-hour beginner’s session of surfing with Jeff Santoloci, owner and head instructor of LBI Surfing. I’ll be honest: I really had no idea how physically demanding surfing was going to be. I know I’m a petite woman, and the ocean tide can get rather feisty, but I’m a former gymnast and cheerleader. In fact, many of my friends at Southern Regional High School referred to me as “freakishly strong.” (You should have seen my biceps!) I must be living in the past, though, because the meager, two-foot tall waves I paddled through and caught (but mostly didn’t catch) that recent Saturday kicked my butt. (In my defense, those waves were a little choppy!) I was greeted by a young boy carrying a towel and beach chair off the beach when I arrived at East 30th Street in Ship Bottom, where I planned to meet Jeff, along with Lauren Knauss from Marlton, for a semi-private surfing lesson. “I wouldn’t go out there, if I were you,” said the boy, looking me square in the eye. “I saw some lightning in the sky, right above the ocean,” he added, very seriously. I saw the black clouds and heard the distant thunder, but I had just driven in Saturday traffic from Barnegat Township to Ship Bottom, and it had taken me over an hour to get here. I wasn’t going anywhere. (Looking back on it, I think this was some kind of foreshadowing of the surfing experience to come.) “Oh, wow,” I replied. “Thanks for letting me know.” I had arrived early at the beach, and didn’t see Jeff anywhere. So I figured I’d cool off and take a quick swim in the ocean. While jumping over rolling waves and ducking under the crashing ones, I noticed a group of kids and instructors who were surfing off to the side of the flags where swimmers are designated to stay. The students were very focused on their lesson and looked like they were having a blast. The water temperature was a refreshing 72 degrees, and the waves were rather calm. After my swim, I met Jeff near the

dunes. Lauren had also arrived, and we helped each other zip into wetsuits. Hers fit snuggly and made her look like a real surfer girl. Mine, a youth’s large, was of course, too big. It bulged a bit in the back, in the front and underneath my arms; I felt sort of silly wearing it. Before heading down to the water, we met a few of LBI Surfing’s other instructors, who had just finished teaching a class. “You’re going to have so much fun! This is the kind of sport you try once and keep trying again,” said Jason Hoch, carrying a surfboard. “Jeff is the best. He’s been surfing forever, and he’ll tell you exactly what you need to do to catch some waves,” he added enthusiastically. Jeff grew up in Loveladies and began surfing as a young kid. He was a member of Southern Regional High School’s surfing club and worked at Ron Jon’s Surf Shop in Ship Bottom as a teenager, where he met many customers who were looking for surfing lessons. In 1996, he began teaching private lessons on the side, and later hired other instructors to help. LBI Surfing was born in 1999, and is still the only surfing school on Long Beach Island to this day. Jeff directed Lauren and I to carry our foam s u r f b o a rd s o n top of our heads down to the water ’s edge. But over my 90-pound frame, it was hard for me to walk, talk and breathe all at once. So he eventually carried mine the rest of the way for me. “You’ll want to save some of your energy for catching waves,” he said, laughing. While lying down on his surfboard, Jeff taught us how to stand up and catch a wave using the two-step method. Following his instructions, we grabbed the side of our board, came up on our strong knee, and placed our other foot directly in the middle. It seemed easy enough, but my foot was usually too far to one side, which Jeff said would cause me to fall off in the water. “It’s really important to keep your body centered on the board, so you have control of it at all times,” he said. “I tell my students to imagine there’s fire on the sides of the board. Fire is bad; you don’t want to touch it.” After we tried the maneuver on land a few more times, Jeff thought Lauren and I were ready for the real thing. So we strapped on our ankle leashes, which would keep our surfboards from straying too far away from us when we jumped off or fell off in the water, and headed for the ocean. We waited for two of the incoming waves to break before paddling out. There wasn’t a whole lot of action, so when a wave rolled in, Jeff instructed us to paddle

I volunteered to go first, but when Jeff yelled, “Pop up!” I lost all sense of understanding and fell right off the board before I even got my knee in the correct placement.

hard to make sure we caught it. I volunteered to go ﬁrst, but when Jeff yelled, “Pop up!” I lost all sense of understanding and fell right off the board before I even got my knee in the correct placement. I had to paddle through the crashing waves again, and by the time I got through them I was already exhausted. As I waited for Lauren to catch a wave, I realized I was drifting all over the place. I knew I had to keep the front of the board facing the horizon so I could see what was coming, but when I saw a large, cresting wave break right in front of me, I froze. The next thing I knew, I was tumbling underwater back to shore.

When I ﬁnally came up for air, my board was lying upside down a few feet away from me. I pulled it back toward me, using the ankle leash, and climbed back on top, consciously reminding myself to keep my toes near the edge of the board so I wouldn’t tilt the tip down with my weight and go under again. “When a big wave comes at you like that, you have to paddle through it as hard as you can,” Jeff reminded me. “You looked like a deer in headlights back there,” he added. “Yes, that’s exactly how I felt,” I replied.

SURF 7

Key West, Hurricane, 19th Century Romance By MARY WALTON et the record show: pausing on p. 96 of The Woman at the Light (St. Martin’s Grifﬁn), I wrote in a note to myself that Emily’s husband, Martin, gone missing on a ﬁshing trip, would eventually return; the feared Indian attack would take place on the lighthouse that she manned in his absence; and she would fall in love with the escaped Negro who had taken refuge on the island in the Florida Keys. She was already teaching him to read and write. And whipping scars aside, he had a great body. Right on all counts and wrong, too.

Set in the mid-19th century, this lively, plot-driven, first novel by Joanna Brady has more twists and turns than a tango. Much is not as it first appears. Good guys turn out to be bad, or at best, deceitful in pursuit of good intentions. In the final chapters, events that seemed straightforward are turned topsy-turvy by the always-popular deathbed confession in one case, and by Emily’s discovery of locked away letters in another. OK, so Brady’s strong suit isn’t originality. She does better on historical context. Continued on Page 21

Sandscript Editor’s Note: Eric Smith, a former paramedic, salvage diver, tugboat captain and now a professional diver exploring the lost world of sunken Egypt, here takes a lighthearted view on the survivability of our own world. His words are followed by some more serious ones of Al Gore on sea-level rise. By ERIC SMITH s part of underwater archaeologist Franck Goddio’s dive team, I get to spend a lot of time wandering around sunken Egyptian cities. And while excavating the location of Cleopatra’s Palace, or the great temple at Canopus that disappeared in cataclysmic events thousands of years after the beginnings of history, my mind sometimes wanders to the inevitable question: when will it happen next? With all the talk these days of oceans rising from climate change, and the fact that my own house in Key West is just eight feet above sea level, it seems irresponsible not to give the subject some thought. If the British had taken some similarly predictable phenomena into account when building Port Royal, Jamaica, they might have been less surprised when, one afternoon in 1692, the whole town sank. And it’s not like we haven’t been exposed to tales from antiquity giving us a heads-up. Atlantis, anyone? Noah? I’m just suggesting that if you or your estate or some future civilization are ever going to come looking for your submerged stuff, here are a few tips that seem to have worked as preservatives in the past. Build with brick and mortar. It is very rare to find any construction materials left after being inundated over a period of time. Exception: some of the towns flooded by damming rivers remain entirely intact, and are popular pleasure diving spots. Old Jyndabyne Township, New South Wales, Australia, for example, was flooded by a dam project in the mid-1900s, and still boasts many rock and brick buildings – but the best is the Ford truck still in the garage. Don’t build on a sand bar. Port Royal was constructed on sand 60 feet deep that effectively liquefied during an earthquake, sending the buildings falling through it and disappearing beneath. Bury your valuables, and put in some ID. Archaeological divers are always finding jewelry and coins laying around on the sea floor, at the mercy of tides and storms. No way of knowing whose they were. Ceramics, on the other hand, often bear the signature of the individual that made them,

or their owner, like Nestor’s famous drinking cup. Relocate important things, such as the government, to higher ground! Alexander the Great recognized that the import/export capital of Egypt, was built on the Nile Delta, composed of layers of sand and silt piled up in the sea. In the thousands of years of Pharaonic rule, there was enough history pointing out what would inevitably happen. So he moved the entire city to higher ground, and built it on bedrock. It was such a good idea, he named it after himself. Don’t move to another place that’s going to sink. In 300 BC, newly built Alexandria was a marvel to behold, with the royal palace of the Ptolemys, Mark Antony’s Timonium and the military, and even the port infrastructure, safely above sea level. Six hundred years later – an earthquake! Into the briny deep... Leave directions elsewhere. If you do decide to keep your city where it will inevitably, on a geological time scale, end up under water, you or your progeny might want to go back after the cataclysm and try to relocate things. Do everyone a favor and leave some directions as to where your city used to be. When Heracleion sank, it took every local, geological reference-point with it. Leave a sturdy marker. Once Goddio and team had excavated all the wrecks from Admiral Horatio Nelson’s victory over Napoleon Bonaparte’s Mediterranean ﬂeet at the battle of the Nile, a search began in earnest for an ancient Pharaonic city that lay beneath them. Heracleion – or Thonis – had been written about extensively by ancient geographers, including Homer. When Goddio found evidence of a city off the coast of Egypt, how did we identify which missing city it was? Fortunately, we found a beautiful stele in black granite that stated, in so many words, “Welcome to Heracleion (please pay your 10 percent tax on all goods).” Seriously, Al Gore has written recently on rising seas “From Antarctica to Bangladesh.” His report in Reader Supported News describes the trip he took in sight of the Antarctic continent. “It is a majestic, otherworldly place,” he explains. The Antarctic Peninsula, which juts northward toward South America, is lined with ice-covered mountains and surrounded by abundant wildlife in the sea. “But the ice on this land is melting at a faster rate and large ice Continued on Page 22

THE BEACHCOMBER/Friday, August 17, 2012

1937: The Eureka Rod and Gun Club of Beach Haven Inlet By CHARLES MOFFETT III ureka! We have found it – a home for our newly formed fishing and hunting club. And so, a small log cabin on Jacqueline Avenue in the Beach Haven Inlet section of Long Beach Island, N.J. became the home base of the Eureka Rod and Gun Club. From that small structure a nine-room retreat for members was built. It was 1936 when a group of Trenton, N.J. sportsmen, under the leadership of Charles Moffett Sr. and Charles Moffett Jr., organized a club sharing a common interest. It was known as the Eureka Rod and Gun Club of Trenton. The group of five men expanded its membership to over 40 within a year. It drew its membership from some of the finest freshwater and saltwater fishermen and upland game hunters in the Trenton area. Sometimes referred to as “The “Year ‘Round Club,” its members followed their particular kind of sport from January to December. The club purchased a small cabin in 1937 as a base for its fishing activities. Additions and improvements were soon made to the building to accommodate club families. Within three years, the club was able to burn its mortgage. During my preteen years, nearly every weekend and vacation time were spent at the club’s facility. Fishing was the main activity, but there were picnics, the beach and swimming in the bay. Also the Colonial movie house and the boardwalk were just a short distance to the north in Beach Haven. One of the highlights of the club’s summer activities was the annual outing. Charles Hanford Jr., club secretary, reported that the two-day sport festival at “Venice Beach,” part of a

new development in Holgate, was enjoyed by all. There were games to play, plenty of food, music and even some time for surf fishing. (Side note: The club secretary was the son of Charles Hanford Sr., who played briefly with t h e B ro o k l y n Dodgers and New York Giants in 1914 and 1915.) Intra-club fishing tournaments were held and the rivalry and competition among the members were always keen. At the close of the fishing season, awards were made at the club’s annual dinner, usually held at one of the local establishments in Trenton. Results of the fishing season were usually covered by the editor of “Kicks and Backlashes” in the Trenton Times. Club members were on friendly

terms with the local Coast Guard at Bond’s Station, which was only a block and a half away. Station Chief Fred Griffen often solicited Charles Moffett Jr.’s knowledge of the local bay waters in the Coast Guard search and rescue efforts. That same knowledge of the local bay also produced many fine catches of croakers and weakfish. Some of the best fishing for croakers was after dark. The trick was to locate that spot just before dark and anchor up. Young Harry “Skip” Defreitas was always amazed at how certain club members were always able to find that particularly productive fishing area. Tucker Island was a nearby favorite fishing location for club members. I recall one such trip drifting for fluke

during the day on the western side of the Island, anchoring the boat in a cove at night and walking across the Island to ﬁsh the surf. My responsibility was to carry two kerosene lanterns. Of course, they attracted the mosquitoes that were thick on the marshy side of the Island. Also well known to club members was Long Beach Township’s lone patrolman covering the Inlet section, Arthur Schrayshuen. Art was a big man and liked by all who came in contact with him. He stopped by frequently just to say hello and see how things were going. At the western end of Jacqueline Avenue, sitting high on pilings, was “Mom” Johnson’s home and dock with boats for hire. She kept an eye on things around the club when its members were not there. Hers was the only structure on the street that survived the ’44 hurricane. With close ties with the well-known Inlet Inn, the club members celebrated birthdays, enjoyed Halloween parties and other such occasions at the Inn. William Defreitas Sr. and his wife, Lyde (Lydia), owners of the Inlet Inn, found the camaraderie with club members to be conducive to their business. Bill became a member of the club and often hosted affairs for the families. He was a Long Beach Township commissioner at that time. A trio from Bill Robinson’s orchestra, the “Californians” based in Camden, N.J., became somewhat of a house band at the Inlet Inn. They were also frequent visitors at the club. My dad sometimes sat in as the drummer and my mother, Kay, was known to belt out a few of the popular songs of the day. Early news clippings about the old Inlet Inn often referred to her as the “Song Bird of the South.” Throughout the early years of World War II, club activities were limited due to gas rationing and other shortages. The ever-present U.S. Army contingent, with its horses and increased Coast Guard activity, were reminders of the potential dangers along New Jersey’s shore. Some club Continued on Page 24

Emily Dinsmore, the narrator and protagonist, is a beautiful New Orleans debutante who marries the older Martin Lowry, a Bahamian carpenter and fisherman based in Key West. Her family objected, but she was charmed by his rugged good looks (intense blue eyes, tawny, sun-streaked hair), polite demeanor and eagerness to wed. She had not anticipated the poverty that would greet her in Key West. Their first home is a room in a shabby, cockroachinfested boardinghouse, where she is left alone during her husband’s sea-going absences. Also, he is a lousy lover. Home to 300 shanty dwellers when Emily arrives in 1829, Key West is a rough and tumble, sea-faring village sustained by the numerous wrecks along its coast. Turns out Martin is more than just a fisherman. When he tells Emily that ships f re q u e n t l y ru n aground on reefs, she remarks, “How terrible.” Martin laughs. “Terrible? Hardly. That’s why we have such a thriving wrecking and salvaging industry here. We go out to help, and lay claim to the valuable goods aboard crippled ships. It’s what puts food on our tables.” And also a piano in their home. Brady writes that the lucrative salvage industry not only created fortunes for some and provided an additional livelihood for fishermen like Martin, it nurtured a variety of jobs, from auctioneers to lawyers to pawnbrokers. And it would give one latter day writer an idea for a subplot. Clearly the chain of lighthouses being constructed to ensure safe passage for ships was not good for the salvage industry. The bad guys are out to sabotage the lighthouse Martin operates. Only we don’t find this out till the end of the book when, really, who cares any more? In the early chapters, the narrative seesaws between Emily’s life with her husband before his strange disappearance while fishing in calm seas, and the period that follows. In Key West the couple temporarily escape their poverty when Martin establishes a small pineapple plantation. But the U.S. Government claims it to expand a neighboring naval station. His compensation is the post of lighthouse keeper on Wreckers’ Cay, a fictional island 23 miles north of Key West. It’s a 24/7 job, but Martin is conscientious and handy. The couple’s marital life improves. A child arrives, their third. Emily had always helped her husband, but in his absence she must tend the lighthouse alone. Brady has done her homework and a detailed description of the tasks involved is, one might

Shore Is Fun Continued from Page 16

Lauren was doing much better than I was. As I watched her stand up on her board and ride a few waves in, I crashed and burned. At least I had an excuse for each of my failures: I have arthritis in my knee, and it’s hard to stand up; I have metal screws in my arm, so it’s weak; it’s too hard to remember all of those steps in one instant. Eventually, I stood up a few times – but never for long, and never twice in a row. I’d come back after riding a wave, excited and eager to ride another. But my over-confidence ensured I always screwed up on the next one. I’d come back, huffing and puffing, my chin on the board and my arms splayed out in the water, after fighting with the waves again. They were like big bullies, those waves – pushing me back and knocking me down. “We only have about 15 minutes left, so we have to make sure we end on a high note and ride these waves in. You can do it!” shouted Jeff. Lauren caught her last wave, riding it all the way into shore. She made it look easy. I paddled hard for my last wave, but by the time I stood up, I had

completely missed it. Jeff asked me if I’d like to try again, but I declined. I didn’t feel like dealing with those big bullies again. When we got back to the dunes, I was eager to hear what Lauren thought about the whole experience. “It was fun! It was a workout, but I’d do it again,” she said, while inquiring about board pricing. Jeff said foam boards (best for beginners) cost around $200 and fiberglass boards (for the more advanced surfer) run anywhere from $350 and up. LBI Surfing sells their rental boards at the end of the season for a reasonable discount. If you think you’re tougher than me (you probably are), and you’d like some helpful instruction on learning how to surf, LBI Surfing offers private, semi-private and group lessons for all ages and experience levels. Birthday parties and surf camps are also offered. Surfboards and wetsuits are provided. For more information, visit lbisurfing. com, or call 609-494-SURF.

say, illuminating. Emily begins each day in the lantern room, cleaning the glass chimneys and the lamps themselves, trimming the wicks, polishing the brass oil receptacles, and sweeping up insects and birds attracted by the light to their death. After dark she must make sure the lamps remain illuminated. With three children to tend, it’s exhausting work. The serendipitous arrival of the light-skinned black man, Andrew, who quickly learns lighthouse tending, enables Emily to hold down the job, so long as his presence is hidden from suppliers and visitors. And yes, they do fall in love. Clearly their relationship can’t survive outside the isolated Wreckers’ Cay. When a hurricane forces them to evacuate, we are catapulted into the ﬁnal half of the novel, as Emily, on her own with her children, must make her way in Key West. We always know she and Andrew will reunite, thanks to a clue planted in the prologue and the need for a happy ending to what is, if you didn’t recognize it by now, a historical romance novel. Several characters become inconvenient in harness to the narrative, but a couple of heart attacks and a brutal beating eliminate them to clear the way for Andrew’s return and a life lived happily ever after.

Fishing Around BY CAPTAIN JOHN T. KOEGLER Apocalypse This is surely a strangely spelled word. Almost everyone believes it means the end of the world. We have been told that the Mayan calendar ends on Dec. 21, 2012. Because they were fantastic astronomers, we have been lead to believe December 21, 2012 will be “That’s All, Folks” day. Like most folk tales, most such beliefs have been wrong. What if they ended their calendar on that date because the Mayans ran out of stone to write on? Ford brought affordable cars to the American people more than 100 years ago. Today’s cars are a marvel of engineering in both car shape and in electronic engine advances that has improved both their performance and fuel mileage. Boat engines are not discussed much in terms of mpg. Current twocycle outboard engines get twice the mpg that a similar horsepower engine got 15 years ago. The newer four-cycle engines do better. Even better, go for a ride on your fishing friend’s center console outboard with twin 350 HP engines that

goes over 60 mph. Consider all the marvels that were not even invented in 1912. Airplanes, laptop computers, 50-inch HD plasma TVs. The year 2012 is a wonderful time to be alive. Thunderstorms Thunderstorms and their strong winds are a big safety issue. On Aug. 3 a weather front approached LBI in the late morning and really dumped on LBI, more than 1½ inches of rain in only one hour on the southern end of LBI. Unless you enjoy looking like a drowned rat, it is always smart to return to your dock before these storms hit. Make sure your bilge pump is working properly and its water inlet cage is free of dirt and trash. A shop vac or similar vacuum works great for this job. Your DC power supply wires must be clean at both ends. Saltwater or spray is always corrosive to these wires so please check them carefully. Boats that are tied to the dock sometimes sink because a pump does not work properly. Make sure your battery

precisely how much sea levels will rise over the next century,” says Gore. “What we do know is that sea level rise is occurring already with real consequences for human beings who live near the coasts. In the world’s largest port cities, 40 million people are now already at risk of severe coastal ﬂooding. That number could well triple within the next half-century or so.” Particularly vulnerable areas in the United States are Miami Beach, the Florida Keys, the Chesapeake region, coastal Louisiana and coastal Texas. In some of these areas, the land is sinking even as the oceans rise. But the most vulnerable regions lie in developing countries, where populations are also rising fast and there is little money to shore up infrastructure. Cities most threatened by sea level rise are Calcutta and Mumbai in India; Guangzhou, China; and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Low-lying island nations, such as the

Maldives, are already in imminent danger. And in Bangladesh, a one-meter sea level rise (which could happen as soon as 2050) would result in forcing between 22 million and 35 million people to relocate. The threat of sea level rise is not simply ﬂooding, but also saltwater intrusion, which hurts the production of crops. Increased damage to rice farmers in Bangladesh could soon put 20 million farmers out of work and force them into crowded cities. “In Antarctica,” concludes Gore, “it’s easy to feel isolated from the rest of the world. “But as I look at this exquisite continent buried deep under the ice, it’s troubling to think of what will happen as the ice melts ever more rapidly.” Q Eric Wartenweiler Smith lives in Key West, Florida. He enjoys sharing his excitement for exploration under the sea. To follow the continued excavations on sunken Egyptian Cities, go to Smith’s blog: thehumanvoyage.com.

Continued from Page 18 sheets are moving toward the ocean more rapidly.” Sea levels are rising worldwide as a result. Most of the world’s ice is contained in Antarctica – more than 90 percent. The West Antarctic Ice Sheet contains enough water to raise sea levels worldwide by more than 20 feet. Part of the ice sheet, the Pine Island Glacier ice shelf, is one among many in Antarctica that’s shrinking at an accelerating rate and presenting direct consequences for low-lying coastal and island communities all over the world. When ﬂoating ice melts, remember, sea level is not affected because its weight has already pushed the sea level upward. But the melting of glaciers and ice sheets on land does increase sea level rise. “Scientists aren’t yet sure

has the correct internal water level. If the battery water level is low, the battery will not hold a full charge. During these nasty storms you can handle only so many problems. Clean battery terminals are a good starting point. Clean wire connections to the pump are important, especially if the pump must run for a period of time. Connections are most dependable when soldered. A crimp sleeve will work if you use a waterproof type with

ends that seal with a lighter or other heat source. Be careful if your engine uses gasoline, and make sure the bilge is fume-free before starting any work. Surf Suds fishing is your best choice for catching a keeper for dinner. Fluke catches from the surf are good. Ask your bait and tackle dealer where fishing is best. Near jetties or groins where the current creates a pocket of swirling water usually works. Cast and drag is the way to catch fluke. Fluke are ambush-style predators. Your bait must come to them for you to get a hit. This time of year it is a must to fish evenings and early morning. There are too many vacationers to fish during the day anywhere on LBI. The fluke season is longer this year. The season does not close until Sept. 26. There are also bluefish in the surf. They come and go with the tide. If you use small baits or bloodworms, you will catch a few kingfish at the southern end of LBI. Bay Bay fishing is unpredictable. You cannot fish the normal way by drifting in the channel, because most larger keeper fluke have left the bay. Smaller fish of many different species are your target. Bunker schools are also in the bay. Spot are present as large schools. So much bait makes it difficult to catch many fish by drifting the channels. Your best action at the southern end of LBI is to anchor with a chum pot us-

Crabbing is getting better each week. It is now worth the effort to fish for crabs. The area around the Causeway bridge usually holds the most crabs. All you need is a basket, net, string and a few crab pots – or just tie the bunker to your line and bring it in slowly until you can net the crabs. Ocean The ocean has been unpredictable. One day fishing is good, the next you have no wind and catching a keeper fluke becomes difficult. The best fishing had been around wrecks and artificial reef structure. For the first time this summer, the normal places where fluke are present now have fluke in residence. There are sea bass around the same bottom structure. Some wrecks or artificial reefs have schools of triggerfish. Be careful of their spines: they are very sharp. Smaller-sized bluefish are being caught while bottom fishing. Make sure you have a good net. Some of the fluke reported this week

were over six pounds. A few anglers have tried trolling for bluefish and have had success, but trolling this year has not been dependable. The best location to catch bonito is on the Barnegat Ridges, where the Barnegat Light headboats Miss Barnegat Light and Doris Mae IV chum for bluefish day and night. This attracts bonito and other fish species beside bluefish. Canyon The areas around the Tom’s Canyon report the best offshore fishing. Last week, Fishtrap from Beach Haven had a great catch of five yellowfin tuna over 50 pounds each, plus a white marlin release. Other boats that fished the same area also had good catches. There were many white marlin in the area. Most boats had several chances to hook and release one. Dolphin fish were caught along the canyon edges, especially around the lobster pot buoys. Several of the boats that fished this area had wahoo strike their lures. Wa-

ing clam. Then fish in the slick behind your boat with small baits and small hooks, 1/0 or smaller. Blowfish and bluefish are the most common fish you will catch from your chum slick. Weakfish are present but are best caught on small, white bucktails with a small piece of mackerel or grass shrimp. One ounce is a good size if you have light spinning tackle. Remember, the current limit is one weakfish per person on the boat or fishing the dock. The northern end and mainland area have more weakfish than the southern end. Fishing near to the edge of holes in the channels or sod bank creeks works best. Weakfish have always been tide sensitive, with flood tide being the part of the tide cycle they like best. Back bay sod islands also have small stripers, blues and weakfish along their deep-water edges. The stripers you catch there will normally be under the legal limit of 28” but because of their numbers are fun to catch and release.

Eureka Continued from Page 20 members were called to serve in the military, including Bill Robinson and other members of his band. Charles Moffett Jr. served in the Coast Guard Auxiliary, manning station towers. Unfortunately the 1944 hurricane spelled the demise of this once popular and successful hunting and fishing club. The club’s building, its boats, valuable fishing gear and hunting equipment were all lost in that historic storm. The strong, northeasterly winds and high tide swept everything out into the open bay. When the wind shifted as the eye of the storm passed on, the northwest wind brought whatever was floating back to shore. I recall a few days after the storm, rummaging through the debris and discovering a small cache of duck decoys that belonged to my father. Little else was ever found. The club never recovered fully from its losses and became somewhat inactive, finally disbanding in 1948. Throughout its existence, Charles Moffett Jr. served as its president. A loyal group of followers continued to come to Long Beach Island, mainly to fish with Capt. Moffett, but the lure of the Inlet section had lost its charm. Those who had enjoyed the closeness and friendliness of the club’s facility, the Inlet Inn and the generally untouched natural area of Holgate would now be only a memory of what might be considered the good old days. But the love of Long Beach Island brought the Moffett family back to live in Beach Haven in the summer of 1945. Charles Jr., with captain’s license in hand, purchased a boat from Capt.

George Clover and began chartering ﬁshing parties. Kay took jobs in local retail stores and ultimately, with a partner, opened Wes and Kay’s Food Market. Charles the 3rd went on to Barnegat High School, the U.S. Navy, college, and a career as a teacher at Southern Regional High School. Charles Moffett III was elected to the Beach Haven Borough Commission, serving two terms from 1978 to 1986. He was chairman of the Beach Haven Bicentennial Park Commission for 25 years, running the summer Concerts on the Green from its inception in 1976 until 2000.

August 1962: ‘The Image of the Island’ Editor’s Note: This essay was written nearly 50 years ago by Phil Muhlenberg, who worked at The Beachcomber for three summers in the early 1960s. — Margaret Thomas Buchholz By PHIL MUHLENBERG he Beachcomber is more than a newspaper. It is the image of the Island, the venerable old captain who perpetuated the lure and legend of Long Beach Island. For The Beachcomber functions not so much as a press, but as a travel bureau, legal aid society, complaint department, date bureau, public relations consultant, board of trade, information center, baby sitting service, psychiatric clinic, educator, confessor and sympathetic listener. The Beachcomber office is not so much a center for the publishing of a newspaper as it is a haven for the harried, a corner for the carefree, a gallery for the gossip, a forum for the frustrated, a spot for the sporting, a roost for the reformer, a meeting place for the misunderstood, a podium for the public spirited, a common for the content, a pinnacle for the publicity

seeker, and the veritable vantage point of the vacationer. Those who believe we are exaggerating would easily be convinced it they spent just one week of afternoons in The Beachcomber ofﬁce. A constant stream of Island residents and visitors forcefully runs, gingerly steps and anxiously scurries through the door of our ofﬁce in the Brant Beach movie building. They are usually met with the standard, “May I help you?” And the answer is always yes! Many of the visitors come merely to place a classified ad. But the relaxed pace of the Island and the homey atmosphere of the office, leads them to stop and chat for a while. We soon learn why the young housewife is selling her sofa bed: “It is the only extra bed in the house; by selling it I won’t be able to have any more company this summer. Do you think something’s wrong with me, I mean, not wanting company and all that?” The Lost & Found section also contains many ads each week, which have a story behind them. A cute little blond boy, probably not older than

seven or eight, came in one day last week to put in an ad. Tears came to his eyes as he explained that his dog had been missing since the night before. The next day he returned smiling to cancel the ad – Skipper had been found hiding under an overturned boat in the back yard. Another Lost ad was placed by a distraught young woman who had lost her engagement ring. She asked our advice on how to go about telling her fiancée. Request for services have led The Beachcomber to perform strange tasks. On the urging of one charming but timid woman, we called the Beach Haven police to find out if her houseguests from Italy would be allowed to wear their “native costumes” to the beach – their bikinis. (Editor’s Note: In the ’50s, a town law banned bikinis.) A gentleman asked us to help him locate an original boat – a genuine Perrine sneak box – for a naval museum in Connecticut – and we found one! We were even requested to dog sit with two French poodles while their owner finished her shopping.

Questions are hurled at us: Is this the right time of year to sell a boat? Why do the mailmen ride bicycles? Where can I go to get drunk tonight? How much should I sell my house for? Where can I get a diaper service on the Island? Why are the amber trafﬁc lights so long? What do you suggest for sunburn? What’s the best kind of bait for bluefish? How did Ship Bottom get its name? How can I get my name in the paper? Why isn’t there anyplace on the Island that serves Chinese food? Who is the mayor of Surf City? What’s the difference between trash and garbage? How do you cook a lobster? How can The Beachcomber make any money when it’s free? The people keep coming. The questions keep coming. The stories keep coming. Do we mind? Of course not – these extras make working for The Beachcomber more than a job and make The Beachcomber more than a newspaper. Q Phil Muhlenberg was in his early 30s when he worked as a writer and advertising salesman for The Beachcomber for three summers in the 1960s.
