here came a time when someone came up with a good public relations idea for the Barnegat Light commercial fishing fleet. It made sense from a product marketing standpoint, and it also gave local fishermen a platform to boast a little about all the effort and sacrifice they invest in working a sustainable resource from the sea. Thus was born the idea for weekly tours of the Viking Village Dock, where scallop boats, longliners and smaller dayboat fishermen bring in their catch of more than two-dozen species of seafood sent to market. The summer’s last Viking Village Dock Tour is 10 a.m. Friday, Aug. 31. Attendance is free but reservations are required so as to keep the crowd size manageable. Call the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce (609-494-7211) for a spot. Located at 19th Street and Bayview in Barnegat Light, Viking Village is an Atlantic Coast leader in the seafood industry. Forty independent vessels bring their catch through Barnegat Inlet to Viking Village. About 6 million pounds of product are packed and shipped annually to Creek Rd., Manahawkin.

major markets in the Northeast, and other buyers across the country and as far as Japan, which buys sushigrade tuna. Scallop boats haul in some 2 million pounds of the catch. Longline boats deliver tons of deep sea tuna, swordfish, mako sharks, mahi-mahi and tilefish, while gillnet boats working day trips haul in tons of bluefish, weakfish, monkfish, bonito, shad, croakers and more than a dozen other species. Cassidy’s Fish Market handles the local retail side of the business. Viking Village won a 2005 Governor’s Tourism Award for its seasonal appeal to visitors, in part because of the free dock tours held Friday mornings in July and August. They were originally started not as a tourist attraction but as a campaign against negative public perception about whether seafood is safe to eat, or whether commercial fishermen were acting responsibly in their harvest methods. “Fisheries management and high quality products are the pride of Viking Village and its fleet,” states vikingvillage.net. — Neal Roberts Full Moon Night Climb & Campfire, Barnegat Lighthouse State Park, Broadway, Barnegat Light.

Barnegat Lighthouse Hosts ‘End of Summer’ Night Climb

f you missed this opportunity during the summer’s first three dates, you get a do-over before the month is done. Friends of Barnegat Lighthouse State Park is following the lunar schedule this year to give park visitors the pleasure of climbing Old Barney for the view aloft while a full moon is rising off the ocean. Taking a cue from the Ocean County Parks and Recreation Department, which hosts the event once a summer, the Friends stepped up to host a Full Moon Night Climb three more times this season: early July, the 1st of August, and now for a rare second full moon in the same month. The End of Summer Full Moon Night Climb is scheduled 7-9:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 31. Admission to the park and the lighthouse is free during the special evening hours. Also back, as they were in June for the county’s event, is the Basement Musicians Guild Band, performing country, folk and classic rock hits from the baby boomer generation. Tony Pileggi, Joe Stamboni and Rick Hohowski set up on the beach near the start of the jetty walkway; bring your lawn chairs (and bug spray, just in case) if you want to join them. A small campfire is also planned; bring your supplies to make chocolate marshmallow s’mores. FriendsofBarnegatLighthouse.org lists the five-year-old organization’s mission: “… to enhance interpretive, educational, recreational and research programs and events at Barnegat Lighthouse State Park.” Fundraising efforts are aimed to enhance the facilities and natural habitat of the park, “and to encourage protection of the barrier island ecosystem.” and ages are welcome. Participants should bring big towels and water and wear sunscreen and sunglasses. Donation only.

Its crowning achievement was to install a modern beacon so that the 153-year-old landmark could function again as a working lighthouse. It was lighted at a Jan. 1, 2009 dedication on the 150th anniversary of the Jan. 1, 1859 lighting of the oil lamps inside the original Fresnel lens, now on permanent display at the Barnegat Light Museum on 5th Street.

New Books on New Jersey By MARGARET BUCHHOLZ hen I flipped through the pages of New Jersey for Kids, the first thing I saw was the photo at the beginning of the chapter “History Made Fun.” It was a picture of a bunch of children at the edge of a cornfield and the caption explained that at the Howell Living History Farm, the kids were shucking corn. This is history? Don’t those kids help their parents shuck the Jersey corn for one of those summer dinners, when the corn is as tall as you know what and the tomatoes are ripening on the vine in the garden? This new Rutgers U n i v e r s i t y P re s s book by Patrick Sarver, former editor of New Jersey Monthly and author of the bestselling New Jersey Day Trips, is aimed at kids 12 and under and covers hundreds of educational and entertaining ideas for children and their parents to explore and enjoy. Activities cover a wide array of fun ways to enrich their intellectual lives, build athletic skills, express themselves creatively or just have room to play. The history chapter includes all the information about historic parks, sites, homes, farms around the state, and venues like our own Tuckerton Seaport and the exceptional Museum of Early Trades and Crafts in Madison. Do I hear a kid yelling they get enough education in school and they want to have fun fun fun? OK. There are sections on robotics workshops, themed tea parties, plays and performances for children, pony rides and horseback riding lessons, specialized summer camps (can’t just play on the beach all summer long), arts and

crafts classes, gymnastics, zoos and nature activities, sports clinics and acting and dancing lessons. Whoops! There’s that word “lesson” again. Let’s go to the ﬁrst chapter, “Theme Parks and Amusements” – that’s where the mindless fun is found. Detailed here is all you need to know about everything from Six Flags Great Adventure, with its giant Ferris Wheel, to shoot-outs at Wild West City in Netcong, to Blackbeard’s Cave in Bayville (on Route 9 about 15 miles north of Long Beach Island), to Sahara Sam’s Oasis, a huge water park on Route 73 in West Berlin. The chapter titled “One of a Kind Places” is a good guide to seven of our state lighthouses, including of course, Barnegat. Kids love to climb the 217 steps in our light, and afterwards come to the Barnegat Light Museum to see the original lens, where I, as a docent, have taken dozens of photos of children posing in front of the lens. The author doesn’t mention the lens, so I assume he was never in the museum. But he can’t go everywhere, can he, ’cause he’s not a kid, and much too old for all the activities he describes in this very inclusive and practical book. If you are planning a birthday or special celebration, check out New Jersey for Kids. Continued on Page 26

Island Landmarks

Oram H. Tonge: ‘Godfather’ of Long Beach Island Architects By KELLEY ANNE ESSINGER ram H. Tonge, a well-known architect from Long Beach Island, has designed more than 4,000 structures at the New Jersey shore over the last 35 years. When The Beachcomber met up with him at his office in Ship Bottom to discuss his distinguished career, he remarked that he knew he wanted to design buildings ever since the time he was 5 years old. “I don’t know why, but I always wanted to be an architect,” he said. “I can’t remember a time I ever wanted to do anything else.” Tonge grew up on the bayside of Leeward Avenue in Beach Haven. His parents, Oram and Marie Tonge, built a summer home there after tying the knot on the Island. The family, including Oram’s younger sister, Sandra, often traveled back and forth from Beach Haven to their primary residence in Burholme in northeast Philadelphia, his parents’ home town. Tonge attended Kennedy C. Crossan Elementary School and Woodrow Wilson Junior High in Philadelphia. His fifth-grade teacher, who watched him incessantly draw up floor plans day after day in class, told his mother that Oram had a knack for sketching and would make a fine architect someday. But his mother already knew that. “I was always drawing floor plans. I would designate the rooms: Bedroom, bedroom, bath. I would put a deck on it, and that would be a house,” he said, while depicting a brief floor plan that resembled the work of his childhood years. “They were all different, but the big thing was to show the bricks; every patio

had shaded bricks. I don’t know why, but it was important,” he said, laughing at the memory. His family always visited Beach Haven on the weekends and throughout the summer months in July and August. In the early ‘50s, as a 9- and 10-year-old, he spent those summers working on rental boats at Mordecai Boat Basin. As a teenager, he worked at Morrison’s Seafood Restaurant as a cook and at Beach Haven Bakery. Other than that, he horsed around and went to the beach. His high school education was split between Southern Regional in Manahawkin and Northeast High School in Philadelphia. It was at Northeast High where his guidance counselor told him he wouldn’t amount to anything – that he’d be lucky to ﬁnd a job at a factory. B u t To n g e wasn’t a dummy. He graduated number one in his class from Temple University, with a bachelor of science degree in architecture. He went on to work in the design department at the headquarters of Acme Markets in Center City, Philadelphia. During that time, he also attended Drexel University, where he graduated ﬁrst in class and obtained a professional degree in architecture. After passing the Pennsylvania state architecture exam on his first try, Tonge landed the position of chief architect for the School District of Philadelphia, located in Center City. Meanwhile, his esteemed reputation was also catching on at the shore. He even designed a house right next door to his childhood home in Beach Haven, where he and his father lived together after his mother died. Tonge designed his own home on

His fifth-grade teacher, who watched him incessantly draw up floor plans day after day in class, told his mother that Oram had a knack for sketching and would make a fine architect someday.

MODERN LANDMARKS: The Fantasy Island arcade building, the Surﬂight Theatre built in 1987, and the Brant Beach Yacht Club are among Oram Tonge’s noted designs.

Beacon Drive in Loveladies. During the building process, he often brought his young nephews, Bill and Rich Tagland, to inspect the procedure. (Years later, his nephews opened their own architectural ﬁrm on Long Beach Island.) The ﬁrst design contract Tonge undertook as an independent architect was for his father’s co-worker at the Institute for Cancer Research (now the Fox Chase Cancer Center) in Philadel-

phia. Tonge was asked to design an addition for the man’s home in Beach Haven Gardens. Eventually Tonge opened an ofﬁce of his own in Surf City. He began designing homes and buildings all over the Island. He was appointed as chairman of the Long Beach Township Zoning Board. He even coined the coastal scheme, which reﬂects the native design elements of the East Coast: an over-hanging roof, lots of windows

Tan Lines

By MANDY MILES e nearly died last weekend playing horseshoes. Seriously. About eight of us decided horseshoes would be safer than our usual poker game. At the time, we were thinking of ﬁnancial security, not physical safety. But that all changed rapidly as we only half-jokingly began looking for helmets to wear while both watching and participating. Someone (he knows who he is) actually launched a horseshoe, a genuine metal one weighing 2½ pounds, onto the roof directly above the seating/ viewing area. It was not intentional and he was not intoxicated, but the giant crash and resulting small hole in the roof certainly had a sobering effect on everyone else. A few throws later, the same person (he still knows who he is) threw the same horseshoe well beyond the intended stake and directly into an outdoor ﬁreplace that happened to be the resting place for two cocktails – in glass.

KNEW HIS CALLING: Oram Tonge wanted to design buildings since he was age 5. Below, a house on Nebraska Avenue; Harvey Cedars Borough Hall, built in 1991.

and a porch. An oceanfront home he designed on Nebraska Avenue in Haven Beach received national recognition for this type of design. “Oram Tonge was the most sought-after architect in the ‘80s,” said Regina Pasquariello, a real estate agent at Re/Max of Long Beach Island. “Homeowners took pride in having him design their houses. His work now is still sought after,” she emphasized. Some of Tonge’s most famous designs include Fantasy Island Amusement Park, Surﬂight Theatre (opened in 1987), Schooner’s Wharf, Township of Long Beach Municipal Complex, The Island Shop, Brant Beach Yacht Club, Freedom Surf Shop, Harvey Cedars Borough Hall and Mancini Realty. As work picked up, Tonge began investing in real estate on the Island. He later met and married Julie Helmer, a real estate agent at Zacharia Realty in Surf City. After the birth of their ﬁrst daughter, Lauren, they sold their home on Long Beach Island and moved to Naples, Florida. They had

another daughter, Nicole, and decided to raise their children there. Tonge now breaks up his time by visiting family in Florida every couple of weeks, and heading back to the Island to design more homes and buildings. He works from an ofﬁce in Ship Bottom that he shares with Re/Max of Long Beach Island and Island Chiropractic. He is currently working on ﬁve home designs in the area and one commercial building in Florida. “He is an incredible asset to a real estate agency because you can get answers to (design) questions right away,” explained Joseph Mayo III, broker and owner of Re/Max of Long Beach Island. “There’s usually a delay when it comes to those sorts of things. In an ideal world, every real estate agency would have an architect, an engineer, a decorator and a builder. I call him ‘the godfather of architects,’ because many architects on the Island worked for him at one time or another.” Q Send your comments to Kelley Anne Essinger at hĴp://dashorek.blogspot.com or e-mail kelleyanne@thesandpaper.net.

The drinks were history, but at least the surrounding grass did a good job of camouﬂaging the broken glass, so we had that going for us. A third wayward throw got hooked on the cable wire that extends from the corner of the already-damaged roof, to the street. It literally spun around the wire a few times before falling to the ground. Finally, a bench-clearing throw nearly killed one or two of the spectators, who scattered like ashes in the wind, knocking over plastic chairs and grabbing wine glasses in their hasty retreat. This was not what we intended for a leisurely Saturday evening, and the challenge of getting the horseshoe around, or at least next to, the stake increased as the evening wore on. First of all, horseshoes are difﬁcult to throw while you’re laughing hysterically, and as we’ve previously discussed, it’s funny when someone falls down. That happened. Also, a 6’4” man with hands that could bend a horseshoe earning the nickname Tinkerbell is funny. Continued on Page 22

Family’s Island Love Spans Nine Decades

THE BEACHCOMBER/Friday, August 24, 2012

By KELLEY ANNE ESSINGER or Jeanette Fusco, author of Seagate House: Legacies of Long Beach Island, traveling to “the beach” in 1935 was much different than it is now. Fusco began visiting Long Beach Island with her family when she was just a mere 2 years old. “Getting there was always an allday affair,” Fusco remembered, rolling her eyes and giving a laugh during an interview last week. Fusco’s family lived in Englewood, Bergen County in northern New Jersey. After packing up the family’s green Dodge with everything from clothes and linens to sandwiches and beach supplies, the first part of the gang – parents Ted and Jessie Kamish, and Jeanette with older sister, Adele, and younger brother, Ted – would pile into the car and make a half-hour drive to Weehawken. Weighed down by the sheer magnitude of people and things inside the car, the bumper scraped along the edge of the driveway as they pulled out. Meanwhile, Aunt Alice, Uncle Joe and cousins Mary Elizabeth and Alice, both a few years older than Jeanette, had traveled from Brooklyn and over the Hudson River via the Weehawken Ferry. They would be waiting for Jeanette’s family to pick them up. Uncle Joe, well over 300 pounds, always sat in the desired front seat of the car, alongside Jeanette’s parents. Aunt Alice, Mary Elizabeth and young Alice all squished into the back of the car, equipped with a small chair for an extra seat. Luckily, they always shipped their long-term luggage via train. Hot and sweaty, with nothing to cool them down but the smoggy, northern New Jersey air blowing in through the rolled-down windows, the family turned around and headed for Long Beach Island. When they finally came out of heavy traffic and into the greener land of South Jersey, they’d stop for a break in Lakewood, where the air was cooler and cleaner. They’d purchase eggs and chicken at the local food market and run into the woods for a pit stop before piling back into the car again, where they’d fight tooth and nail for every millimeter of personal space available. From Lakewood, they traveled south on Route 9 all the way to Route 72. (This was 20 years before the Garden State Parkway vastly improved access to South Jersey beaches.) By the time they reached Beachwood, just south of Toms River, the children were so tickled by the vision of silky, white sand, they could barely contain themselves. “Are we there yet? How much longer?” The children were relentless. “What about now?” Eventually, Jeanette’s father threatened to end their vacation right then and there if they asked any more questions. The kids were always quiet then. When they reached Manahawkin, they always stopped at a grocery

They headed straight for where commercial garvey fishing boats came and went, and a man who Zacharie Realty. “When we got to the Island, we commuted from Philadelphia docked had to find a place to rent,” Fusco his seaplane. Fusco also remembers said. “You would never do it when swimming on the Boulevard after a you were up in North Jersey. That’s big hurricane, when water was waist just the way it was. You couldn’t go deep near Lang’s Liquor Store. Jeanette often watched the young online and see what the place looked like.

The giant but inexplicable bruise that appeared on my thumb was not as funny, however. I still don’t know how it got there; it’s not like I was trying to catch the horseshoes. Another challenge in this game that traces its history back to Roman times is finding the horseshoes in dark, glassstrewn grass. This required the use of a headlamp. Once our host began ripping up his own hedges to find the elusive blue horseshoe, all bets were off and it was game over. His wife, our hostess, promptly abandoned hope and went to bed, praying, I’m certain, that we never found the other shoe. And praying, even more strongly, that it did not come sailing through her bedroom window, while she hoped against hope that everyone would leave, or at least quiet down. No such luck. Poker definitely would have been less destructive. The evening of horseshoes resulted

Fishing Around BY CAPTAIN JOHN T. KOEGLER

Amazing New Electronics

It has been widely quoted that man’s last, great unexplored place on Earth is the deep ocean. Rarely mentioned is how much of the ocean bottom closer to land is also mostly unknown. Yet the newest generation of electronics is making such a statement disappear. The only issue is the depth of your wallet. High defi nition pictures are now available for fi sh fi nders that totally blow away everything you have ever seen before on your fish fi nder screen. The reason is a technology named chirp. Our current sonar has worked for us for the last 30 years on frequencies between 50 kHz and 200 kHz. What we see on screen are red bumps or humps that outline the wreck or structure we are trying to fi nd. This has worked well for many years. But the new technology sweeps the sonar frequency signal from one to another on each sonar pulse. The typical low frequency bands are from 25 to 60 kHz and high from 130 to 210 kHz. Such a scan provides unbelievable detail of what is on the bottom of the ocean. The fi sh fi nder screen now provides movie-picture quality of what your boat is passing over. These new sonar pictures are so detailed you may not believe what you are seeing on the screen. The problem is the cost of the high-tech transducers needed to make this new miracle work. Unlike current transducers, which retail for less than $100 in plastic to over $500 if purchased as a bronze, throughhull unit, most of these new transducers units cost more than $1,000, with a few units exceeding the cost of your display unit. These transducers come in an unbelievable variety of shapes, sizes and materials. I seriously recommend you attend a boat show this fall and hear the details directly from the various dealers and manufacturers. Read their literature and understand what you are buying.

All new technologies have limitations – understand them. Despite what appears to be a simple job, the exact details of installing these units on your boat must be studied carefully. Choose a display unit with features you like. Then discuss with the people from Airmar Technology, the builders of U.S.-made transducers, before purchasing any transducer. They understand the issues and can explain them in just a few words. Several of the older models – meaning last year’s – had problems. Buy the newest version only. The Atlantic City in-water boat show in early September is the fi rst local show. A bigger show is held in Annapolis, Maryland – the United States Powerboat Show – held Oct. 11-14. It is worth your time and effort to attend this show. You can buy a show ticket online at usboat.com, or call 410-268-8838. Because of the size of this show, there will be exhibitors to explain and show this marvelous, new technology. Surf Again we begin this fishing report with the unbelievable story of fluke landing from the surf. I cannot ever remember being able to go to the beach after dinner or before breakfast and catching so many fluke. Everyone knows that most will be throwbacks because of the 17½-inch length required for a legal size keeper. Being able to throw back a dozen small fluke in a short time has not occurred in recent years. It is a glorious time to be a surf angler. A few tackle shops, such as Ocean Side Bait & Tackle, will rent you a surf rod to give this great fishing a try without buying a complete surf outfit. There are also bluefi sh and at the southern end of LBI, larger kingfi sh are present. Kingfish are great eating. Bay In a surprise, fluke have returned to the inlets at both ends of the Island – a surprise because in most years at this time, fluke have moved many miles offshore to perform their yearly spawning cycle and add to the

Some of the dolphin go up to 10 pounds. These larger fish always put on a great display before being boated.

already recovered fluke population. What has occurred to have the fluke return to the inlets and beaches in such huge numbers is difficult to understand. I have not had an opportunity to talk to N.J. state scientists to ask what they think. I am getting reports of keepersized weakfish caught in the bay, plus a huge number of late summer small fish of several different species. Those chumming with clams are getting large numbers of small black bass, plus blowfi sh and bluefi sh. If using a quality bait and floating it into the chum slick, most anglers are catching big weakfish. This is super unusual. The weakfi sh population is supposed to be in a collapsed condition. This weakfish abundance has not been seen for the last several years. It was believed by fish managers that it would take many years for the weakfi sh numbers to recover. Their current numbers defy all recovery estimates. Anglers fishing the Barnegat Light end have reported much better weakfish catches than the Beach Haven end. There are several outboard boat rental shops in Barnegat Light. Fishing from one of their boats, with shedder crab or live grass shrimp, will greatly improve your catch of weakfish. Remember: only one weakfish per angler per trip is legal. The annual snapper bluefish population is here. These tiny fi sh appeared to have had a good spawn this year. Ocean The area around wrecks or ocean bottom drop-offs are producing fluke. Some structure appears to have come to life with more sea bass than earlier this summer. Croakers have not been reported in any quantity despite the population being here in above average numbers. Could it be that Virginia and Maryland commercials increasing their yearly catch from a million pounds per year to over 12 million per year affects out catch? Triggerfish are present in good numbers on specific wrecks. The surprise is that after only a day or two of good catches, these fish totally disappear from the wreck they had been so thick at. Monster bluefi sh over 12 pounds are being caught in the Brielle area and should start to show locally soon, if not this week. My phone call to Doris Mae IV heard that the big bluefish

Shore Is Fun

ElliptiWHAT? Get On It and Go!

Editor’s Note: Ninth 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 f you’re in the market for an arduous workout and you’d rather not spend it inside a smelly, dank fitness club, then cruising around Long Beach Island on an ElliptiGO is your exercise-match made in heaven. An ElliptiGO is a mobile elliptical trainer on two wheels, made specifically for riding around on the streets. A former athlete, unable to run due to hip and knee injuries from a lifetime of contact sports and endurance athletics, invented the low-impact running mechanism to help him stay in shape. Zach Kerzner, owner of Acme Surf and Sport in Brighton Beach, N.J. is the only ElliptiGO dealer on the Island, and he swears by its ability to transform beat-up athletes into strong, agile sports champions. “They’re all the rage,” he said, his hand resting on the handlebars of an eight-speed ElliptiGO. “They’re the only ones made for athletes, and the only ones we’re interested in selling. People that are real about exercising, they get it. I can ride one seven days a week, and I don’t have to feel like a broken-down, old man,” he added, referencing his earlier, actionpacked sports days. As a former gymnast who gave up the sport only seven years ago, I thought pedaling around the Island on an ElliptiGO would be an easy feat for me. But after an hour on the mechanism, I felt like an antiquated, old lady. When I met up with Zach at the shop a few weeks ago for my first try on the pseudo bicycle, I was already lining up what I later determined were unachievable goals for myself: Maybe I’d ride the ElliptiGO the entire 18-mile length of the Island. Then I’d ride it all the way back; no big deal. In between, I’d stop by my grandparents’ place in Surf City for lunch and then ride by The Beachcomber oĜce to show off my new whip. After Zach helped fit me into a proper-sized helmet, he introduced me to Marko Efstratiou, or “muscles,” as Zach refers to him. Marko is a former soccer player who has been working at Acme Surf and Sport for the past seven years. Although the shop has only had the ElliptiGOs in-store for just over a year now, he is well versed in its mechanics and fitness capabilities. “They have internal gearing in the rear hub, hand breaks and 20-inch tires,” he began. “They’re good for

someone who wants to try something new and get really great fitness training. It’s a full cardio workout, because you get everything moving. It’s light on the knees, hips and back, and you’re constantly stretching, so it cuts your workout time in half. “They’re also really easy to transport because they have quick-release wheel levers, and the handlebars come out,” he added. Marko helped prepare me for my venture by suggesting I push off the ground with my strong foot, while slipping my other foot into the pedal-link. Unlike a bicycle, an ElliptiGO has no saddle, so the mechanism is pedaled while standing up. After having ridden a bicycle for nearly 20 years, I found the idea of standing on what resembled a bike to be very disconcerting; my instincts told me to sit down. “When you start pedaling, just commit to it,” said Marko, sensing my distress. I was a bit shaky when I first got on, but it seemed rather easy, really. I took off down Beach Avenue feeling rather confident, until I noticed everyone I passed by was staring at me. I expected that; not many people are accustomed to seeing ElliptiGOs. But after awhile, the gawking got old. I counteracted the curious gazes and confused double-takes with a big smile, a loud “hello” and a quick wave, if I was feeling brave enough to let go of one of the handlebars. That seemed to work for some time. Often, someone following closely behind a person I had just awkwardly greeted, immediately turned the other way; I assumed they didn’t want to be seen talking to the crazy girl on the crazy bike.

Yet there were others who were intrigued by what they saw. “Oh, that’s cool! Where did you get that?” asked one woman who had pulled up next to me on her bicycle. After telling her I rented the ElliptiGO from Acme Surf and Sport, we continued to chat before a car behind us beeped at her to move over to the shoulder so they could pass. “It looks fun, but hard. I’ll look for your review in the paper!” she shouted, while turning down a side street and leaving me to fend for myself. Meanwhile, I was seriously out of breath at this point, heaving and sweating profusely. I had been pedaling down the street like a maniac, and had forgotten all about the idea of pacing myself. Somehow, I had managed to travel 22 blocks in less than 10 minutes. Granted, the blocks were short. I hopped off the ElliptiGO for a drink from my water bottle and a lit-

tle breather, before I decided to head back the other way. On my way back, I had to dodge a slew of runners and walkers who were heading straight toward me. As an ElliptiGO rider, I assumed I was to follow New Jersey’s bike law, so I rode on the right side of the road, with vehicular traffic. What I didn’t know was that pedestrians are required to travel on the left side of the road, facing traffic. With such a Clarification The Beachcomber ’s “Shore Is Fun” feature in the Aug. 17 issue reported there is only one surfing school on Long Beach Island. There are actually several LBI businesses that offer surfing instruction, including South-End Surf and Paddle, Island Surf and Sail, Wave Hog Surf Shop, Farias Surf & Sport, Acme Surf and Sport, Brighton Beach Surf Shop, and Surf with Nicole.

narrow strip of asphalt to ride or walk on, this presented a problem. Before long, I saw a Good Humor Ice Cream truck pull up near the beach on 56th Street in Brant Beach. Kevin Raylman jumped out of the front seat, and noticing my struggle to get the kickstand down on the ElliptiGO, he helped steady me. I began rambling about the difficulty riding with vehicular traffic and against the flow of people traffic. As an ice cream truck driver, Kevin said he understood the problem very well. “That thing looks hard,” he said, motioning toward the ElliptiGO. “I’d like to try one, but I’ve never been on a regular elliptical machine before. So I don’t know if I’d have the coordination to try one on a bike.” I told him that riding an ElliptiGO isn’t as difficult as it looks, but that it is definitely a workout! After parting ways, I decided I was done riding on the ElliptiGO. So I turned around and headed back toward Acme Surf and Sport. Along the way, I was met with more awkward glares. At this point, I was used to the curiosity, so my smiles and waves were less frequent and less excited. I pedaled into the parking lot, dripping with sweat and sporting some really rad helmet hair. “Time for the beach,” I said, handing my helmet back to Zach. For $29, you can rent your own ElliptiGO for an hour at Acme Surf and Sport. A package of five rides costs $110 and a package of ten passes costs $200. You must be 21 years of age or

Island Love Continued from Page 20

All the drug stores had ice cream parlors back then,” Fusco said. “It had a bar across the counter, with red stools. We would get banana splits and all kinds of different stuff. It was difficult to make our minds up when we were kids because they had so many kinds and flavors. It was wonderful; we used to think it was just grand!” Vacations on LBI weren’t always so sweet. During WWII, Navy blimps patrolled the coast for enemy submarines and no one was allowed on the beach after dark. Fusco’s family and the rest of the people residing on the Island were required to have black-out shades on the windows of their houses. Air raid wardens walked up and down the streets to ensure everyone Ryan Morrill had their windows covered.

Beach Books

Continued from Page 13 Along with descriptions and commentary, listings include recommended age ranges and estimated durations of activities, as well as practical information on hours, price ranges, websites and phone numbers. A good book to have on the shelf when you need it. And if anyone wants to experience shucking corn this summer, just call me. Three other New Jersey books that came across our desk this summer are for kids or adults, and all abound with gorgeous photos. In New Jersey Birds and Beyond (Schiffer Publishing), photographer Susan Puder takes an intimate look at the resident and visiting bird species that inhabit the shores, ﬁelds and forests of New Jersey. From the formerly rare double-crested cormorants, to the common but colorful Baltimore oriole, to portraits of gulls so beautifully crafted they might make you feel more kindly disposed to the beach scavengers, Birds and Beyond gives a sense of the great diversity in habitats and species here year round. Another from Schiffer Publishing is Naturally New Jersey, a lush look at the state through photographs by Larry Zink, who has turned his camera toward New Jersey’s state parks. As Jeff Tittle, NJ Director of the Sierra Club, says in the Foreword: “New Jersey is unique. It has some of the most diverse ecosystems anywhere in the country, going from sand dunes to marshes, ﬁeld and forest, all the way up to granite mountains.” Zink chose to shoot in

areas open to the public, so his criteria are “parks, preserves or wildlife management areas.” He wrote, “Natural New Jersey provides a welcome respite from a busy and connected world.” His “Orange Sunset” and “Canal Reflections” are impressionistic triumphs. Thumb through the pages of this stunning book and you, too, will want to visit the state’s wide-open spaces. The back of the book contains a visual index to the parks and the photographs, guiding you to the locations. Life Along the Delaware Bay by Lawrence Niles, Joanna Burger and Amanda Dey, with photographs by Jan van de Kam (Rutgers University Press) has a broader overview of a smaller area. It includes detailed maps, photos and descriptions of the Delaware Bay flyway, migratory patterns, tracking methods, plus chapters on sanderlings, mud birds and horseshoe crabs. The photographs are extraordinary. My favorite shows a pair of black-necked stilts balancing on their very long, red legs, claiming the beach as a flock of semi-palmated sandpipers take flight. Another is a close-up of an osprey carrying breakfast – half of a fish – back to the nestlings. A final chapter, Against the Tide, documents with pictures and essays both the threats and efforts at conservation along the shore. Truly an exceptional, large-format book from Rutgers University. Q Margaret Thomas Buchholz is the former owner of this paper and author of Island Album, Shore Chronicles, New Jersey Shipwrecks, and the newly released book Josephine: A Memoir 1917-1959. She is co-author of Great Storms of the Jersey Shore. Reach her at lbipooch@comcast.net.
