he scene is 1937 London, when British high society still looked down upon the commoners, and it was out of the question for nobility to mix with the cockney class. “Me and My Girl” is the musical comedy presented this weekend and next weekend at the OceanFirst Theater in the Stafford Township Arts Center. The show opens tonight, 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 3, following a 5 p.m. Red Carpet Gala with wine and hors d’oeuvres (available with $25 VIP show ticket.) Other 7 p.m. performances are Aug. 4, 9, 10 and 11. Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. are on Aug. 5 and 12. “Let the Our Gang Players take you on a trip to the Hareford Estate in London (pack your tap shoes), where there’s swimming, croquet on the lawn, cricket, tennis and golf,” announces leading cast member Ryan PJ Mulholland. “You will meet the royal family: the Duchess (Stacey Schnepp), Sir John (Neil Goldstein), the bold and beautiful Jackie (Nicole Dawdy) and her dumbfounded boyfriend Gerald (Cory Damato), and the rest of the regal Harefords. Everything is going swimmingly until the lower class bloke Bill Snibson surfaces as the next heir to the Hareford Estate.” Neither Snibson (Mulholland) nor his cockney girlfriend (Sara Flynn) are welcome company. And Snibson has

to choose between losing his girlfriend or forfeiting the inheritance. The musical comedy was written in 1937 and ﬁrst performed in London. It features the title song and, more notably, “The Lambeth Walk,” (1937) which became a contemporary hit. Our Gang Players, founded in Barnegat Light and now based in Manahawkin, is marking its 35 th season in 2012. The non-proﬁt community theater troupe regularly produces four shows a year. “Me and My Girl” is directed by Jessica O’Brien-Roy, who has performed with Our Gang Players since she was in elementary school. The holder of a master’s degree in theater from Villanova University, the Southern Regional High School alumni and Perry Award winner was also director of Our Gang’s 2011 production of the musical “Oliver!” Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for students or seniors, and $8 for children. Purchase at ourgang.org or by phone at 609-597-0553. From Long Beach Island, take Route 72 West to the jughandle at TD Bank, follow signs to Doc Cramer Boulevard and McKinley Avenue.

‘Great War,’ Chocolate Fair at LBI Museum

ack in 1914 when war began to embroil one nation after another in Europe, it still seemed so distant from these shores. But the days of muskets and cannon balls and war frigates under sail had been replaced with machine guns, mustard gas and battleships of steel. And for the ﬁrst time ever, submarines armed with deadly torpedoes roamed across entire oceans hunting down slow-moving freighters that were supplying the enemy. By 1918, World War I was literally outside the front yard of Long Beach Island. Author Margaret Thomas Buchholz, in her 2004 book New Jersey Shipwrecks, devotes an entire chapter to the havoc wrought one black Sunday off the G a rden

State by U-151 of the German Navy. Two local history teachers present their own take on the “Great War at the Jersey Shore” 7:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 6 at the Long Beach Island Historical Museum in Beach Haven. “Southern Regional history teachers Jeff Brown and John Tichy examine the events leading to America’s entry into WWI and life in the Army for our ‘local’ doughboys. Original WWI artifacts will be shown,” states the 2012 brochure of the Long Beach Island Historical Association. The Monday Night Programs also include 1850s Beach Haven (Aug. 13) and LBI Yacht Clubs (Aug. 20). The Little Egg Harbor Yacht Club is celebrating its centennial this year, while the nearby Spray Beach Yacht Club is marking its 90th anniversary in 2012. Also this week at the Victorian-era, former church is the hugely popular “All Things Chocolate” fundraiser, at which you may sample all sorts of enticing sweets, including a ﬂowing

chocolate fountain, 6-8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 9. Country Kettle Fudge and Ben & Jerry Ice Cream are the two commercial participants in this fundraiser. Tickets are $10 each (or $5 for children under age 12, accompanied by an adult), sold at the door. Expect the largest crowd to arrive at 6 p.m., so plan accordingly. The museum is located at the corner of Engleside and Beach avenues, opposite Veterans Bicentennial Park. It is the former Holy Innocents’ Episcopal Church, built 130 years ago in 1882. Thursday’s fundraiser is among the annual events that fund the expensive restoration projects the building requires from time to time, such as a new roof. Support from new members is always welcome. Families may enroll for $35 a year (individuals for $25) and the annual General Membership Meeting is coming up 7 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 12 at the museum. — Neal Roberts

‘Prince of Kosher Gospel’ Sunday At LBI Jewish Community Center

Courtesy of DZB Productions

SOULFUL: Raised in a Black Hebrew synagogue, Joshua Nelson developed a new, cross-cultural genre of music that has received wide acclaim.

is voice and stage presence made quite an impression here a few years ago, and this weekend Joshua Nelson returns to Long Beach Island with his unique mix of cultures and faiths in song. The Jewish Community Center of Long Beach Island (jccoﬂbi.org) is your host, 7 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 5. The new center, opened in February, is on the Boulevard at 24th Street in Spray Beach. “Kosher gospel is the marriage of Jewish religious lyrics and meanings with the soulful sounds of American gospel,” explains Nelson on his website, joshuanelson.com. “While the word gospel, a Greek word meaning ‘good news,’ is usually associated with African-American Christian churches, the musical styling is African, sounds that came from several African tribes, and developed as a tool to escape social injustice. This was the Spiritual, the Meter Hymns, Jubilee songs and ultimately, the coined ‘Gospel Music.’

These African rhythms pre-date the West Africans’ introduction to Christianity. “These same sounds have been retained in the musical cultures of Black African Muslims and Jews, and such soul-inflected vocalizations filled the Black Hebrew synagogue Joshua Nelson attended as a child with his family, observant Jews who traced their lineage back to Senegal.” Devoted to singing since age 8, a quarter-century later Nelson has traveled across the world with his music, earning acclaim as the “Prince of Kosher Gospel.” He has produced an album, Mi Chamocha, sung with stars from Aretha Franklin to the Klezmatics. He was a subject of the acclaimed documentary film “Keep on Walking.” Tickets for “An Evening with Joshua Nelson” are $40 at the door, or $35 in advance. Call the JCC at 609-492-4090 or Lori Shomer at 609488-5839 to reserve. — Neal Roberts

‘Beach Blast’ Is Family Fun at Surf City Firehouse

t worked out well when they tried it the ﬁrst time last summer, so here it is again: the second annual Beach Blast Party hosted by Surf City Fire and EMS, 4-10 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 4. For only a $2 donation, kids get to tour the firehouse and all the big equipment, plus enjoy children’s activities and all the hot dogs, hamburgers and picnic food

they want. The adults get the picnic, and there will be beer available to purchase, too. Rain date is Aug. 11. The fire company fundraiser supports an organization that dates to April 1, 1948, when it was incorporated as Surf City Volunteer Fire Company No. 1. The first fire truck, a brand new 1948 Ford/Hahn Engine, was housed in the original concrete block firehouse built in 1948 on the corner of 8th Street and Long Beach Boulevard. “The original firehouse consisted only of what is now the main hall, kitchen and bathrooms of our present day building,” states a company history at surfcityfire.org, written 4½ years ago by Assistant Fire Chief Michael P. Wolfschmidt. The facility space was doubled by 1955. A decade later, The Beachcomber re-

ported on the addition of a combination pumper and heavy rescue truck, the first one in Southern Ocean County. In 1990, agreements were made for the fire company to take over the emergency medical service needs of Surf City. Two ambulances were purchased, and some former Barnegat Light First Aid Squad EMTs joined the Surf City fire company to provide the new EMS service. The name of the organization was changed to the Surf City Volunteer Fire Company No. 1 & Emergency Medical Services. The members, along with a dedicated Ladies Auxiliary, host pancake breakfast, bazaars and flea market fundraisers every summer that are faithfully supported by an appreciating community. — Neal Roberts

Batman Not Rising in This Flick By RACHAEL K. BOSLEY hat do you do if you’re a filmmaker with outsized ambitions and Hollywood really just wants you to make comicbook movies? If you’re Christopher Nolan, you make them as portentous as possible. The latest example is “The Dark Knight Rises,” which brings Nolan’s Batman trilogy to a close, and not a moment too soon. Offering a narrative whose humorlessness, pomposity and dullness are rivaled only by its incoherence, “The Dark Knight Rises” displays none of the anarchic spirit that occasionally glimmered in Nolan’s last Batman outing, “The Dark Knight” (2008), a structural mess that was enlivened by Heath Ledger’s turn as The Joker, but was otherwise memorable only for Nolan’s ground-breaking use of large-format IMAX cameras. Buoyed by the global success of “The Dark Knight,” Nolan and his collaborators used IMAX more extensively on their latest venture, tapping the cameras to shoot more than half of the picture. I saw a standard 35mm presentation of “The Dark Knight Rises,” so I can’t assess the results of their choice; however, given the logistics, expense and time it takes to work with IMAX, I can only hope the grandeur of the extra-large canvas eclipses at least a few of the

ﬁlm’s shortcomings. Picking up eight years after “The Dark Knight” ended, “The Dark Knight Rises” introduces two shady characters who appear to have anarchy on their minds: Bane (Tom Hardy), a fearsome escaped convict whose facemask mitigates the pain of old, deep scars, and The Cat (a.k.a. Catwoman, played by Anne Hathaway), a career thief who displays astonishing agility in stiletto heels. Bane and The Cat are not in cahoots, per se, but they are both employed by Daggett (Ben Mendelsohn), a South African businessman with dubious designs on Gotham City, and they attract the attention of the authorities at about the same time. Till then, we are led to believe, Gotham has enjoyed several years of relative calm. Police Commissioner Gordon (Gary Oldman) appears to spend most of his time attending ceremonies honoring the late district attorney, Harvey Dent, whose evil alter ego, Two-Face, remains secret to all but a few. Meanwhile, Batman/ Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) has gone into early retirement at Wayne Manor, where he babies his aching, much-abused joints and moons over his dead girlfriend, Rachel. Wayne is shocked out of mourning when The Cat steals into his home and walks off with his ﬁngerprints. His curiosity piqued, Wayne starts digging,

and his investigation leads to Daggett, who has been hatching mysterious construction projects all over the city, and to Bane, who appears to be Daggett’s henchman. It isn’t long, of course, before Bane demonstrates who is really in charge, and, after beating Batman almost to death, Bane tosses the broken superhero into an underground prison in a far-off land and sets out to achieve goals of his own. What those are is a little hard to tell, because Bane’s motives are about as discernible as his dialogue, which is delivered through his mask in a booming baritone bizarrely colored by Sean Connery’s brogue. Fortunately for us all, Bane is a man of action, not words; he mainly stalks from scene to scene, brutally dispatching good and bad guys alike and displaying awesome pecs. In a series of visually spectacular scenes, he detonates explosives throughout Gotham that destroy the city’s infrastructure and trap most of the police

force in rubble-strewn tunnels. Before long, convicts are freed from prison, the few remaining aboveground cops go into hiding, and Bane’s minions start murdering people at random. And, oh, yes, the timer is ticking on a nuclear bomb, and only Bane knows the location of the detonator. As Wayne struggles to recover from his injuries in time to save Gotham, the question the ﬁlm means to pose is, is the city worth saving? But it begs another: Whose idea of entertainment is this? For the considerable time, money and energy devoted to its creation, “The Dark Knight Rises” grinds on for close to three hours without presenting a single exhilarating moment. You may leave the theater wondering what you ever loved about the cinema. Whatever it was, you won’t ﬁnd it here. Q Rachael K. Bosley is a former editor of The Beachcomber. She lives in Los Angeles.

Award-Winning Photographer Presents ‘Shooting LBI’ By ERIC ENGLUND Long Beach Island Branch Ocean County Library Central Avenue, Surf City (609-494-2480) ith landmarks such as the Barnegat Lighthouse, picturesque sunsets over the bay and wildlife habitats, it is no wonder that Long Beach Island is a favorite spot for photographers. But if you’re more of a novice shutterbug and would like to learn the ﬁner points of capturing your Island experiences, stop by on Thursday, Aug. 9, 10:30 a.m. when award-winning photographer David Gurtcheff presents “Shooting LBI.” A second generation, self-taught photographer and printmaker, Gurtcheff said he would show a 40-minute DVD titled “LBI Memories,” covering more than 50 years of his work. The Beach Haven resident said he would also give photo and composition tips. “One thing you don’t do is shoot in the midday, when there is maximum sun exposure,” said Gurtcheff, a retired mechanical engineer. “I’ve also thought that the best times are one hour after sunrise and an hour before sunset. I would recommend that photographers use a polarizing ﬁlter. It darkens the blue

skies and saturates colors.” Gurtcheff has been active with the Miniature Camera Club of Philadelphia, the Delaware Valley Council of Camera Clubs, and the Photographic Society of America. The society named him a three-star exhibitor, as 160 of his prints had been accepted in juried PSAapproved international exhibitions. In 1972, he was ranked as the 22nd leading color print exhibitor in the world. Among more recent awards, in 2005 and 2006 Gurtcheff won ﬁrst-prize in the photography division in the Wings ’n Water Wildlife Juried Arts Festival, sponsored by the Wetlands Institute in Stone Harbor. On Tuesday, Aug. 7, the Ocean County Health Department offers free blood screenings from 11 a.m. to noon. Appointments are not necessary. The “Blue to You” van from Horizon Healthcare of N.J. will stop by on Wednesday, Aug. 8, from 9 a.m. to noon. Everyone is welcome to learn about healthy living strategies and local wellness activities, as well as health care reform information. People enrolled in a Horizon plan can speak to staff members about recent claims, billing or other issues. At 7 p.m. Aug. 8, Rick Bushnell, president of ReClam the Bay, will give a talk on “A Clam Is a Man’s Best

Friend.” “Clams can’t talk but they can tell us a lot about the health of the bay,” he said. “Because they serve as filter feeders, they remove things that are harmful to the bay. When you have a large shellfish number, algae won’t grow very fast because they feed on it.” Bushnell said he would also bring live baby shellfish and discuss how people can help improve the water quality of the bay. Beach Haven Public Library 3rd Street and Beach Avenue (609-492-7081) Deborah C. Whitcraft and Gretchen Coyle will discuss and sign copies of their book, Inferno at Sea: Stories of Death and Survival Aboard the Morro Castle, on Thursday, Aug. 9, from 6 to 8 p.m. Christened in 1930, the Morro Castle was a luxury cruise ship that made runs between New York City and Havana. In the early morning of Sept. 8, 1934, the cruise ship caught fire and burned, killing 137 passengers and crew members. The ship eventually ran aground off Asbury Park. “There have been books and accounts about the shipwreck, but we also wanted to take a different approach and write about it not only from the American point of view, but from the Cuban perspective,” said Whitcraft, founder

and curator of the New Jersey Maritime Museum in Beach Haven. “That is why in doing research for our book, Gretchen and I spent some time in Cuba interviewing relatives of people who had been on the ship.” “It was human nature at its best and at its worst,” said Coyle, a museum docent. “There were many people who were heroes and many who were cowards. Some people just pushed others out of the way, and others wanted to help. Americans were helping Cubans and Cubans were helping Americans. Deb and I are the first to really explore it more from the human side.” Coyle said the ship had run into a northeast storm. “During that time it was set afire,” she said. “The strong winds made the flames spread so fast. It was a horror show.” Whitcraft said that since their book signing tour kicked off last month, they have met numerous descendants of people who had family members on the ship. She said at a stop in Asbury Park, they met Wayne Warms, whose grandfather, Chief Officer William Warms, assumed command of the ship when Capt. Robert Willmott died in his cabin on board the ship the night of the fire. “We might have to write a sequel,” she said. Q

Surflight Theatre

Great Tap Dancer, Legendary Comedian on Stage This Week By RICK MELLERUP he late Sammy Davis Jr. had a reputation as one of the hardest working people in show biz. Indeed, his versatility as a tap dancer, comedian, impressionist, actor and singer and his I’ll-do-whatever-it-takes-to-win-over-an-audience attitude led to his being nicknamed “Mister Show Business.” Davis, who died at the age of 64 in 1990, seems to be making a comeback, at least if B e a c h Haven’s Surflight Theatre is any indication. He was played, admirably, by Alfredo Miller in a three-man show called “The Rat Pack Revue” in April and at 8 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 6 Sammy will return in a show titled “Ted Levy’s Mr. Bojangles,” part of the Catch a Rising Star Comedy and Concert Series. While Davis was a versatile performer, he was perhaps best known as a tap dancer. His career started early, when, at the age of 3, he joined his father (yes, Virginia, there was a Sammy Davis Sr.) and Will Mastin to comprise the vaudeville dance team the Will Mastin Trio. So who better to play him than Levy, who, along with Savion Glover and the late Gregory Hines, is one of the premier tappers of his generation? Levy has appeared on Broadway three times, in shows such as “Black and Blue” and “Jelly’s Last Jam,” earning a Tony Award nomination for choreography for the latter. He won an Emmy Award for his performance in the PBS special “Precious Memories.” The next Catch a Rising Star performer at Surﬂight, David Brenner, who will appear at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 8, was also an Emmy winner. Before the Philadelphia native became a standup comic, he was a writer/producer/director of more than 100 television documentaries, for which he won 30-plus awards, besides his Emmy. It was when Brenner turned to comedy, however, that he really cemented a relationship with TV in the public’s mind. He had, you see, more guest appearances on “The Tonight Show” – 158 – than anybody else. In fact, according to The Book of Lists 2, Brenner has been the most frequent talk show guest of any entertainer in history. Brenner hit pay dirt on his very

first “Tonight Show” appearance Jan. 8, 1971 with some observations about how crowded New York City’s streets and subways were, a throng so crushed together, he said, that he had devised a way to commit a perfect murder and get away with it: “You just take the dead body with you and you slip it into the crowd – they take him for the rest of the week. Can you see that?” he continued, letting his head loll to the side and his arms flap. “When the crowd picks him up, there he goes into Macy’s Department Store, up the escalator, backwards, in women’s lingerie. Boom, outside, down the street past Cook’s Funeral Home, where they offer him a job as a sign. Boom, he gets thrown into the Army induction center, where he’s classified 1A. Boom, he’s thrown out into the street and he falls into traffic and gets killed three more times. A high school class trip picks up the body, the teacher – ‘All right, who’s talking? Is it you, the big boy in the back with the blue face, you.’ Boom, they carry him into Radio City and he does 20 minutes with the Rockettes. On Broadway he gets mugged twice … and raped once. Finally the body is picked up and carried and thrown onto a Sixth Avenue subway. Boom, a cop sees him – ‘Hey Harry, look at that guy. Weird, huh, standing on his head holding the strap with his foot. But we can’t do anything unless he spits, smokes or carries a lighted pipe.’” Brenner has become more of a political and sociological commentator in the years since his amazing blastoff. But he’s still funny as hell! In talking about ex-President Clinton on Bill Maher’s “Politically Incorrect,” Brenner earned big cheers when he said, “I’d rather have a president who does it to a woman once in a while than a president who does it to the rest of us for four full years.” Tickets for the Catch a Rising Star series at Surflight range from $20 to $60, with special VIP seating available for $89. They may be purchased online at surflight.org, by phone at 609-492-9477, or at the box office. Q Rick Mellerup is a writer for The SandPaper and a long-time actor in community theater.

Shore Is Fun

Find Your Inner Child at Paint a Pot Editor’s Note: Sixth 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 he sky was overcast on this particular summer Tuesday morning, making it a perfect day to spend inside. But the morning’s dull, gray clouds dissipated quickly, which meant beach time was still on. That didn’t stop families from crowding outside the shop doors of Paint a Pot in Beach Haven Gardens, where they waited for owner Amanda Klinger and the rest of her bubbly staff to shufﬂe them in at the 11 a.m. opening. “We were here about six years ago,” said Alice Gardener, pointing to her daughter Christy Parmenter. “We came back and decided to make a memory. I still have my old dish at home. But these guys haven’t been here yet,” she added, motioning to the rest of the gang: Christy’s husband, Mike; Alice’s other daughter, Becky Todd, with her husband, Dan, and their children, Lily, 6, and Josiah, 4. At 11 a.m. sharp, effervescent staff workers Dominique Natelli and Maddy Konyha led the awaiting crowd into the art room, where ceramic pots lined the walls with prices listed underneath them, and paintbrushes and water bowls lay on tables, urging participants to get creative. Prices range from $18 and up and

include the time and use of the paint, brushes, stencils, stamps and sponges for one person. If two or more people would like to work on a shared pot, an additional $8 is charged per painter. Paint a Pot carries more than 600 different pieces. The inventory is rotated throughout the year. The shop also provides about 100 colors to paint with. “Dogs and cats don’t have to be black or brown. They can be pink with blue swirls or orange with purple polka dots!” Maddy reminded. Once everyone had chosen their canvas, Dominique and Maddy resumed their skit, a demonstration they had to learn when they got the job. As cheerfully as possible, they told their customers what tools to use, including sponges instead of napkins (because they like trees!) for cleaning up mistakes and spills. “If you have any other questions about mix-ups or mess-ups, feel free to ask. We’ve got tricks up our sleeves!” Dominique shouted. The girls were so thrilling. Their skit mimicked the act put on by the servers at The Show Place Ice Cream Parlor in Beach Haven, only without the singing and dancing – though it seemed if you asked them, they’d probably try belting out their best notes and busting out their finest moves. “My shop does not hold classes.

Splashback

1972: Frosty Ocean; Hospital Grand Opening By MARGARET BUCHHOLZ ccording to The Beachcomber of July 20, 1972, it was one of the coldest Julys on record. We reported, “Bafﬁn Bay temperatures, loads of people on the beach but none braving the snow-white surf. There was a water-chill factor calculated to put off the most enthusiastic of ocean swimmers.” But I think the report of frostbitten toes tended by Surf City lifeguards is probably tongue in cheek. We reminded readers, then and always, that it’s that cool ocean and its breezes that set us apart from the sweltering mainland. An oceanographer from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported that “on observation” from Maine to Virginia, the Atlantic Ocean has risen an unprecedented three inches in the last eight years. Asked to explain, he mentioned the melting glaciers and the extraction from the ground of vast quantities of petroleum. If it continues, he avers, within 30 years some low-lying coastal areas could be under water. Well, there is no doubt the water level is rising – it’s hitting doorsteps on houses in Tangier Island in the Chesapeake and

Norfolk, Virginia – but we’re still here. Perhaps 130 years? In the Easter issue we noted the Surf City Borough Council amended their dune ordinance, requiring those granted dune razing permits to post a $700 deposit to “insure the lowering is done according to borough regulation.” That our protective sand could be razed tells how far we’ve come. The federal project to raise the North Jetty at Barnegat Inlet began as the first rock was dropped. The Army Corps of Engineers expected to complete it in three phases at a cost of $1.5 million a phase. Two “girl” lifeguards, Marcy McNee and Lori Carrington, were manning a station in Surf City, a first on the Island – with the exception of WWII, when women did everything. Even after over a decade of fundraising, in June Southern Ocean County Hospital still needed $345,000 to open its 52-bed facility in Manahawkin. Officials cut the ribbon on Aug. 2. Over 2,000 visitors toured the building, the first hospital in the area since Dr. Dodd’s small Beach Haven hospital on Ocean Street closed in 1945. Remembering the help received

after the March 1962 northeaster, Islanders, under the guidance of “LBI Teachers’ Flood Relief,” sent goods and money to victims of Hurricane Agnes in Pennsylvania, still to this day that state’s worst natural disaster. Grateful letters of appreciation appeared almost every week. After a group of “long-haired hippies” showed up to man relief stations, the mayor of Scranton wrote, “Denounced as hippies last week, but today praised as the greatest young people in the world.” In the battle between cyclists and motorists, vitriol swirled around the Beach Avenue “speedway” – letter writers begged for streetlights or stop signs. The Township’s new Bureau of Trafﬁc Safety got $8,000 from the feds to use for radar equipment. Later in the summer, a woman complained, “The local militia has swooped down on Beach Avenue with Gestapo-like precision … regardless of how slow that car was moving. Better, why don’t the police cut this crap and start chopping down the acid-heads who roar around Beach Avenue between midnight and dawn on their souped-up bikes?” A voice of reason responded: “Some cyclists deservedly bring down

the motorist’s wrath on others, and every cyclist knows his worst enemy is the car, but surely if each is aware of the problems they cause the other and respect each other’s rights, cyclists and motorists could exist peacefully on the same roads.” Throughout the summer, Island officials and clergy supported a “Rally for Soviet Jewry” held at St. Francis Center. The organizers hoped to gain enough signatures to petition President Nixon’s support to gain release of Soviet Jews who want to leave the USSR. Real Estate Prices: A three-bedroom duplex on Harvey Cedars’ Kinsey Cove rented for $125 a week. If you had Big Bucks, you could spend $1,300 for a bayfront home for the month of August. … A huge sub-dividable lot with a 4-bedroom house was listed for $84,500, pretty much the top of the market 40 years ago. … A 3-bedroom home in Ship Bottom went for $21,500. Seven-year-old Neal Patrick of Florham Park caught a fish with a line attached to the snowbrush from his father’s car. His father, with a real reel, hooked nothing. … At the end of August, our fishing and boating columnist, Dick Clements, and daughter

T-Shirts, Cutoffs, Smashball, ‘Jaws’ Phobia: Long Beach Island, 35 Years Ago

Beachcomber/SandPaper ﬁle photos

SUMMER 1977: At top, our cover photo this week was for a ‘fashion’ story: ‘Not so long ago, tee-shirts were those sweaty undergarments that only came to the surface for unglamorous events like mowing the lawn or painting the kitchen. While they still may be sweaty, tee-shirts are now high fashion, as well as a means of self-expression.’ Sarah Masters reported that LBI shops were selling them for between $3 and $6, depending on design work. ‘Jaws’ still had a chilling effect at the beach for some, two years after the ocean horror story set box ofﬁce records (and one season before ‘Jaws 2’ appeared in 1978, ‘just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water’). Continuing clockwise, Lori Konyha of North Beach Haven answered a question of the week: ‘What do you think of beauty pageants?’ The guy with the paddle is playing ‘Smashball,’ a new fad on LBI in ’77. Jana Singer and Tom Glenn were spotted with a common beach blanket companion: a transistor radio, something now virtually extinct.

Linda, pulled in 43 blues and weakﬁsh a few hundred yards off the beach. Residents of Bay Terrace in Ship Bottom complained loudly about the foul stink of degrading eelgrass along the waterfront. … South Jersey mosquitoes lived up to their reputation as

massive when they registered as blips on the new sensitive radar screens at Fort Monmouth. Unique Advertiser: Under “situations wanted” in the classified, a young college man named Ken wanted to “enjoy a good meal after a

hard day of house painting.” He offered “stimulating conversation” in exchange for a home-cooked dinner. He had several takers. … Another eyecatching ad was headlined “lost parrot” and it brought back the sadness when our daughter’s pet ﬂew off over

the bay, chased by sea gulls, and was never heard from again. Q Margaret Thomas Buchholz is author of the newly released book Josephine: A Memoir 1917-1959, From Washington Working Girl to Fisherman’s Wife. Reach her at lbipooch@comcast.net.

Tan Lines

Unfortunate Fumbles By MANDY MILES gave new meaning to the term “dropped call” the other day and began to see the merits of some states’ laws that prohibit talking while driving. I was chatting amiably with a friend about nothing of even moderate importance. In fact, I believe I was defending my stance on the importance of eating pizza in the restaurant so as not to risk the steam in the delivery box making the crust soggy. In the middle of my discourse, I dropped the phone into the netherworld between door frame, seat and floor. I had to shout to my friend that I had dropped him and to hold on – and then began the delicate task of retrieving the phone without pushing it farther out of reach. It didn’t work. The phone dropped to the floor somewhere under my seat and I shouted to my friend that I’d call him back before pulling over, stopping the car and retrieving the phone. (Yes, officers, I did stop safely to get the phone rather than weaving all over the road.) Such is not always the case. When will I learn that in order to pick up something I drop from my bicycle, I need to get off the bike, engage the kickstand and retrieve, say, my $1.50 admission to the beach at Fort Zachary Taylor. Otherwise, I end up straddling the bike, it tips over and I’m a tangled, sweaty mess in front of the admission gate with a line of people staring at my ineptness. Why is it always the most breakable item that gets dropped on cement while a rubber ball falls onto plush carpeting? Take for example, my adventure in a hotel parking lot last winter in West Palm Beach. I had two plastic bags in hand. One contained dirty laundry and a wet bathing suit, while the other held a bottle of vodka. Guess which one dropped in the blacktop parking lot and formed a puddle around my feet. And let’s not forget my birthday party a few years back when I dropped a bottle of red wine someone had just given me onto the new white concrete of a restaurant’s patio. It looked like someone had been shot as the crimson liquid pooled and stained the pure white. I, of course, gathered my gifts

and friends and made a hasty retreat. How many items must I drop in the supermarket aisles before grabbing a handheld metal basket when I enter? This also would save my forearm from regularly going numb as I cradle a pint of ice cream, a frozen pizza and a gallon of milk, all with a roll of paper towels tucked under my arm. And how many times have you had to retrieve something you accidentally dropped into the garbage can? I’ve done it with envelopes I’ve written phone numbers on, important tax documents and leftovers that I didn’t realize “someone” was saving for a midnight snack. Everything depends on what the item lands on, and what’s been put on top since then. While we’re on the subject of my kitchen trashcan, let me take this moment to formally apologize to my downstairs neighbor, who has suffered through five years of mayonnaise jars dropped on the floor, beer bottles clinking into the bin from shoulder height and shampoo bottles hitting the bottom of the plastic shower floor. He’s also been shocked by the occasional thunder that is me getting tangled up as I step out of a bathing suit. After a few awkward hops, I succumb to gravity and plaster probably falls from his ceiling. He also gets an earful of ice cubes that seem to leap from the tray to the floor and then skitter underneath the counter. They are immediately lost until physics takes over and the frozen solid becomes a freezing puddle on the kitchen floor. For all of these missteps and thousands more, I say, as we always say quietly upstairs, “Sorry, Eddie.” Although I know I won’t learn anything from asking these unanswerable questions, perhaps we all will walk away from this with a new level of awareness: It is better to eat pizza in the restaurant to preserve the delicate crisp.

Fishing Around BY CAPTAIN JOHN T. KOEGLER

Inlets Offers Best Bet

The bay is full of small fish. Spot are the most abundant. Their number at this time of year is unusual. These small fish are considered the world’s best striper bait in November. They usually travel in schools like bunker. A good throw with a cast net gets you dozens of great striper baits. Larger bunker are present around the inlet and up to two miles offshore. In the back bays and lagoons, the peanut bunker are present in the tens of thousands. They can be frozen, because they are super difficult to keep in any type of pen. The inlets appear to be the best place to fish. Fluke are abundant in the inlets and the channels leading to the inlets. This week the northeast winds have made inlet fi shing the most enjoyable. All boats have done well. You should have some

minnows and scented squid for the fluke. Some anglers have done well using 4-inch grub Gulp baits. White and chartreuse are the best Gulp colors. Swimming mullet Gulp has also been productive. If the Gulp bait tail is eaten by a hungry fish, you must change the bait. Without the tail, Gulp bait produces few fish. Pop’s Pride on Tuesday had a great day drifting, catching lots of fluke but only one keeper; four keeper weakfish out of 12; plus hard-fighting, dinner-sized bluefi sh and one bigger blue, near five pounds. Add the sea robins and a large blowfish and in short, it was a fun day – especially since the ocean northeast winds were over 15 miles per hour. Later this week the winds will switch to south and most anglers will try the ocean wrecks. The best use

Atlantic bonito for investing an hour trolling. As everyone knows, the ocean water is very warm. This causes most normally trolled fish to feed on the bottom because the surface water temperature is just too hot. Offshore The boats do not have a warm core eddy to concentrate the bait and eventually the tuna and marlin they are seeking. There are more white marlin around than usual for this time of year. Yellowfi n tuna are still being caught but not in big numbers. Anglers fishing the offshore area below the Hudson Canyon to below the Tom’s Canyon are doing the best. The Wilmington and other popular southern areas have few tuna. Way to our south at the Hot Dog lumps off Maryland they are still doing well by chunking and jigging. If you get the tuna behind your boat you will have a good day. But this is

tough, because the fishermen are fishing both day and night. On weekends over 100 boats are chunking. So much food in the water keeps some tuna present at all times. It is a long drive for New Jersey boats to fish these southern lumps. Surf It is still good surf fishing if you fish around the jetties and groins. Our summer visitors have the run of the beach during the day. Early evening and at high tide is the time that works best. You have to cast and drag because fluke do not move that much. Suds anglers are having the same problem as inlet anglers in that they catch quite a few fluke but fi nding one over 17½ inches is work. Blues are present, especially at dusk and dawn. Those using the small baits have caught a reasonable number of kingfi sh, at least enough to make your effort productive. Tight lines till next week. Q

of their time will be to fish the inlet areas. Fishing will perk up after the northeast blow. This wind direction always puts extra oxygen into the water. Fishing is much improved for several days after the northeast wind quiets down and eventually leaves. Inshore Smaller bluefish have had the best year class of blues in many years. They are everywhere. The big Barnegat Light headboats Miss Barnegat Light and Doris Mae IV are catching them on the ridge and also inshore while fishing for fluke. They are around all the inshore wrecks and artificial reefs, and are being caught on bottom rigs and high-low rigs while fluke fishing. Southern fish species have arrived, with triggerfish the most abundant. A few anglers have caught bullet mackerel while bottom fi shing. A few boats have tried trolling and several have caught three or four

Beach Books

Two Tragicomedies: Sailing, Shakespeare and Sex By DAVID FOSTER y annual concern that your summer beach fiction include enough … well, meat … rubbed with interesting spices … spicy meat, to raise the sun-numbed spirits and, just possibly, the level of cocktail conversation, has elicited two firstrate tragicomedies: Amber Dermont’s more than promising first novel, The Starboard Sea (St. Martins Press 2012) and the familiar John Irving’s latest (and eighteenth), In One Person (Simon & Schuster 2012). Each is alive with well-drawn, believable scenes of self-discovery in the midst of guilt, remorse, sexual confusion and precious little adult support; each weaves a story that compels attention; and each affirms the manifold varieties and colorations of human existence. And I guess the heading assures you that there’s plenty of sex. In The Starboard Sea, Dermont brings us Jason Prosper, newly admitted to yet one more prep school, Bellingham Academy, for his senior year, courtesy of his Wall Street father’s generous endowment of a new dorm. Jason is bright and a whiz of a competitive sailor but lacks educational or any other kind of real focus and is struggling to deal with the suicide of his best friend and sailing partner, Cal, and his own role in that tragedy. Bellingham is a second or even third chance school that prefers to deal with the narcotic, sexual and criminal misadventures that have darkened its enrollees’ prior academic history, with a benign complaisance; booze, drugs and casual hook-ups abound. (Disclaimer: The school, with its splendid waterfront location in a quaintly upmarket New England village, bears a startling physical resemblance to my own alma mater, Tabor Academy in Marion, Massachusetts, and I’m sure its trustees are not all that happy. I got a fine education there but, of course, it wasn’t coed back then.) Jason is profoundly alone. His parents are disengaged from each other and from him. His brother has become a financial schemer. His classmates revel in mindless, careless games of irresponsible privilege. And when a member of the sailing team almost dies as a result of his rash maneuver, he quits sailing, the one activity that truly engages his mind, body and spirit. Into this void drops another student, Aidan, a girl with secrets as dark and troubling as his own. Their lonely needs bring them together until a hurricanedefying party takes her life, and leaves

Jason alone again with the guilt-tinged memories of Cal and Aidan. Okay, the plot sounds a bit operatic, but Dermont pulls it together with sharply drawn, complex characters and a clear portrayal of the pain of facing who we are and what we have done. And you don’t have to be a sailor to be captivated by the descriptions that once again prove why sailing is our most elemental of all sports. Final caveat: If you have a teenager in prep school, The Starboard Sea will give you a whole new list of things to fret about. Enjoy! John Irving also puts a prep school front and center of his In One Person, but it is only the launching pad for this big, passionate, triumphant embrace of all those manifestations of human sexuality that lie somewhere between totally male and totally female. Billy, the narrator, is bi-sexual but, unlike Ms. Dermont’s Jason Prosper, he is far from alone in facing the inevitable issues and dilemmas that arise as he moves from 12 to 70 in this sweeping tale. I couldn’t summarize the plot in twice this space. Irving has assembled his usual cast of outspoken, color-splashed characters, including, most memorably, Miss Frost, a librarian whose seduction of Billy is the happy start of his wide-ranging sexual odyssey, and Grandpa Harry, who indulges his own cross-dressing proclivities by playing the most challenging female roles (Lear ’s daughters, for example) in community theatre productions. And here, of course, the testing ground for moral and spiritual growth is not sailing but wrestling. In One Person darkens as the AIDS epidemic imperils both the emerging social acceptance of sexual diversity and Billy’s ability to cope with the perplexities of his own behavior as a “sexual suspect.” Irving ﬁrst used that term in The World According to Garp, (describing the memorable gay football star, Muldoon) and this book feels like one he’s wanted to write for a long time. In terms of dealing with what some people continue to feel is a political issue, In One Person is as clear a call for understanding and inclusiveness as The Cider House Rules was of a woman’s right to choose abortion. Don’t get me wrong here: neither of these is a heavy “big issue” novel. Dermont’s wit is sharper, more ironic than Irving’s big bravura comedy, but these are both memorably enjoyable reads. Did I mention that there’s lots of sex here? Even the old-fashioned variety now and then. Q

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

different from other craft places,” said Amanda. “It’s a walk-in style. It runs like a restaurant – but we serve paint instead of food.” Besides basic pottery skills, staff members also need to learn basic sign language so they can communicate with their boss. Amanda began to lose her hearing in the late ’90s, and many people wondered how she was going to run a business. Her answer? “Just as well as anyone else.” Equipped with Fisher Price Magna Doodles for writing down questions and comments, and a flashing light that notifies Amanda if the door opens or the phone rings, she’s got it all figured out. “Having a disability isn’t a disability. It’s just a different way of living,” she explained. Amanda opened Paint a Pot in 1999, after she walked into a similar craft shop in South Beach, Florida. She thought the idea would go over well on Long Beach Island. Fourteen years later, customers are still coming back to paint at her shop. Amanda said she gets to watch families grow. Some people come in for a date and come back a few years later, married and with children. Other people come in year after year to stamp their children’s hands and feet on kitchen sets, which the kids can take with them to college. “The best compliment I ever received was from a mom in North Jersey around the time of 9/11,” remembered Amanda. “She said she was scared and didn’t know where her friends were. So she got in the car and drove to the shop because she knew she could find her happy place here. I still get goose bumps when I think about it,” she said, lightly touching her arm. “That’s what Paint a Pot is all about. We want you to forget about the crazy world, and just paint a pot. We want everyone to find their inner child, and finger-painting is cheap therapy!” she added with a laugh. As families came and went, Amanda insisted I stay and paint a mug. She said it wasn’t just for kids; that many older people, for example, have come in and asked her to redraw their tattoos so they can paint them on their chosen ceramic pieces. Obliging to the mug and choosing a few colors, I reluctantly remembered I wasn’t a very good artist. Allowing my inner child to shine through, I found a polka dot stencil. When Dominique caught me laboriously trying to paint the circles onto the mug, she suggested I trace them onto the mug first. The staff really does have all kinds of tricks up their sleeves! Once painting awhile, I really got into the zone of things. I listened in on the conversations around me, but it was just background noise. Who knew painting circles could be so soothing! When I finally finished my mug, holding it away from myself so I could see the entire breadth of its beauty, I waved my hands in the air – the staff’s preferred way of communicating – to

let them know I was finished. Amanda led me back to the firing room, where two giant kilns sat side by side. One was firing away at a scorching 1,800 degrees, while the other was cooling off at only 150 degrees. Opening the top to reveal a number of colorful ceramics carefully glazed by staff members, she told me that it was like waking up on Christmas morning. “It’s a very cool place to work, and it’s so fun,” said Dominique, while handing me a pick-up sheet, which informed me I could get my mug that Friday after 6 p.m. “I’ve worked here for four years. You meet so many different people,” she added, smiling. Painted merchandise can be picked up at a later date, after 6 p.m. If you’re leaving town, the finished products can also be mailed to your home for the cost of packaging and shipping. Paint a Pot also holds many fundraisers. Dietz and Watson and Paint a Pot paired up for a barbeque and craft center for a breast cancer awareness event last month. Part of the proceeds will go to Susan G. Komen for the Cure Southern and Central Jersey. “Fingerpaint for Boobies” is a breast cancer awareness event held each summer for the past five years. It is dedicated to Amanda’s two grandmothers, both of whom suffered from the disease. The event will be held this year on Sunday, Aug. 5 from 11 a.m. to midnight. Reservations are recommended, but walk-ins are welcome. Buy a shirt for $25 or a raffle ticket for a chance to win Amanda’s original mermaid painting, titled “Hope.” “Keep Our Foundation Strong,” a fundraiser that benefits the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences in Loveladies, will be held on Tuesday, Aug. 14 from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Fifteen percent of all proceeds will benefit LBIF, where Amanda works at painting, drawing and sculpturing during the off-season.

Island Landmarks

Spray Beach Chapel: 19th Century Charm By NEAL ROBERTS t more than 100 old buildings across this Island, plaques presented by the Historic Preservation Commission of Long Beach Island attest to the appreciation of saving tangible remembrances of a community’s history. The commission was established in 1987 by a few members of the Long Beach Island Historical Association and the Barnegat Light Historical Society who were troubled by what they foresaw as likelihood that the Island’s older homes and buildings would succumb to the wrecking ball “of progress.” Thus began a 17-year campaign (1987-2003) to recognize property owners who shared the value, “preservation is progress.” A quarter-century ago, 17 landmarks were selected to receive plaques at the first awards ceremony. Among them was the Spray Beach Chapel, which was age 92 at the time. Today, none the worse for passage of time, the chapel remains a treasure on this Island. On Sunday, July 29, The Beachcomber was welcomed at the door by greeters (and chapel trustees) Betty Sykes and Diane Roy for a 9:30 a.m. service shared by 70 other worshipers. The worshipers can’t really be termed members, per se, because whoever attends on a given Sunday depends largely on who is on the Island on vacation, remarked Robert Tropp, who with wife, Pam, are among 22 trustees of the landmark chapel. Built in 1895, the chapel this year marks “one hundred and seventeen years of service to God and the community,” states the church bulletin printed for the 16 Sundays (May 27 – Sept. 9) the chapel holds Sunday morning worship, led by guest speakers. The chapel is also commonly requested for special events, such as weddings or memorial services, according to Sue Vehslage, the trustee in charge of making those arrangements. Vehslage is also the pianist for Sunday worship. On July 29, she accompanied guest soloist Shanley Horvitz of Voorhees Township. Horvitz, a sophomore at Westminster Choir College, is on the Island as a singing waitress with The Showplace Ice Cream Parlour in Beach Haven. She sang “Ave Maria” by J.S. Bach and a moving hymn, “You Are Mine” (the chorus quotes Jesus as inviting the faithful to follow Him, because, “I love you and you are Mine”). The worship service bulletin also invites visitors and regular attenders to recite a weekly prayer: “Almighty God, Our Heavenly Father, as we come together in the Name of Thy Son our Lord, we ask Thy blessings upon this Chapel. Here may the faithful fi nd salvation and the careless be awakened; may the doubting fi nd faith and the anxious

be encouraged; may the tempted find help and the sorrowful find comfort; may the weary find rest and the strong be renewed; may those in need find consolation and may each of us be inspired, through Jesus Christ our Lord.” The Rev. Elizabeth Alexander of Cranbury gave a sermon in the context of consumer-driven America, on the topic of “How Much Is Enough?” What is supposed to be good for the American economy, is not the same as the “abundance and wholeness” that God offers to the hungry soul, she related.

Built in 1895, the chapel this year marks “one hundred and seventeen years of service to God and the community.” “The chapel is supported entirely through the generosity of those at the summer services,” the service bulletin noted. The beautifully preserved building, though perhaps a bit uncomfortable during the season’s worst humidity, is nonetheless a remarkable testament to the warmth of people dedicated to maintain such a precious place of worship. The chapel is on Beach Avenue at 24th Street. To learn more, visit spraybeachchapel.org. Q
