A Heartless Healthcare System Is Helping to Kill an Ill Friend By HARLEY THOMPSON ealth care is a big topic among the politicians these days. While everyone is spouting opinions about how to solve the problem, my friend Randi is dying. Why? She has an illness that requires a private insurance company to make timely decisions about medicine and surgery. The insurance company is dragging its feet. A cynical person might conclude that the insurance company is rationing care to avoid paying for my friend’s illness. Health care is about people, not about money. My friend is in a desperate situation, and the healthcare system is helping to kill her. Do you think Gov. Christie, President Obama or Mitt Romney cares about this? Inside a modest, well-kept house in Manahawkin lives the La Rocca family. Randi’s husband, Keith, answers the door and ushers me into the living room. Their daughter Carina, 7, shyly says hello. I say hello to Keith’s son, Owen, 12, who then ducks back into his room. I sit on a couch as Keith goes to the master bedroom to help Randi get up from bed. As I wait, I notice the sound of an oxygen-generating machine in the living room. A tube runs along the floor from the machine to the master bedroom. Several minutes later, Randi shuffles into the living room wrapped in a blanket. I move to a chair so she and Keith can sit together on the couch. Randi is trailing an oxygen tube behind her. The tube leads to her nose. She also has a tracheotomy tube in her neck that has been placed there to allow removal of excessive secretions that are caused by chronic inflammation and deterioration of the trachea, the part of the body that permits air to travel to the lungs. Without the tracheotomy, Randi would suffocate. Her breathing is labored, and when she talks there is an echo in her voice resulting from the sound emitted simultaneously through her mouth and the tracheostomy. Randi and Keith La Rocca were married about 15 years ago. I have known the family as fellow members of Grace Calvary Church in Ship Bottom for the past five years. Keith plays the bass guitar during worship services. Randi, when she had the strength, interpreted the worship song lyrics into sign language for the hearing impaired. Two years ago began her latest bout with the disease. She had to stop her ministry at the church last year when her symptoms got worse. Randi has suffered from many ailments through the years. She was born prematurely and was missing cartilage in several joints at birth. Since childhood, she has suffered from recurrent asthma, bronchitis and pneumonia. Apparently, all of these problems have been the result of a more serious disorder. When I met Randi and Keith several years ago, I had no idea she suffered from chronic illness. She was always a bright-eyed optimist, generous with friends and with a heart for anyone who suffered. Randi was an energetic lady. She always walked fast, talked fast and thought fast. She was happy to see you, and she let you know it with a hug and a smile. Today, she still has a smile, but she is now moving slowly and without energy. As she talks, she sometimes forgets that she needs to speak slowly and with pauses to catch her breath. Instead, she talks in rapid bursts followed by gasping. Her temperament is not

compatible with the debilitating illness she suffers from. At this point, the doctors are saying she has a rare disorder called bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP). Given her history of prematurity, a much more serious disorder called bronchiolitis obliterans, which is linked to the use of ventilators (mechanical breathing machines) in some premature infants, may also be the cause. Both conditions are rare, but BOOP is reversible in many cases. Bronchiolitis obliterans is not reversible, and severe cases often require a lung transplant. Randi is unable to withstand the side effects of steroids, which are used to arrest or reverse the inflammation that results in bronchitis and pneumonia. Steroid use resulted in what Randi calls a pseudo-tumor that pressed against her optic nerve and caused permanent blindness in one eye. To reduce the pressure from the inflammation in her brain, doctors had to put in a shunt to drain the cerebro-spinal fluid, one of several complications resulting in numerous emergency surgeries and hospitalizations in the past year.

Election Reflection: What Would Jesus Do? By DOTTY CRONAN y October 2008, I had accumulated dozens of nagging questions and indecisions about the political candidates, causing me to write “Questions on Issues, Policy Besiege a Baffled, Undecided Independent” for the SpeakEasy column. It’s starting again, and I already have many of the same concerns: taxes, social justice, guns and abortion. Once again, I am baffled, undecided and don’t know what to do. But the one thing I am not undecided about is being a Christian. So, this time around, I’m going to apply my old WWJD (What Would Jesus Do?) criteria to my dilemma. For starters, Jesus never supported a political party, be it Roman, Zealots, Sad-

ducees, Pharisees or Scribes. What did he do when a segment of society wanted to make him a king? He withdrew to the mountains by himself. Jesus refused to be the “king” of a political party that wanted to overthrow the tax-inﬂicting Romans. At Jesus’ trial, when Pilate badgered him about his “kingship,” he said, “My kingdom does not belong to this world.” What did Jesus say to Peter (probably a Zealot) when he drew his sword to defend Jesus against the Roman soldiers? “Put your sword back in its place.” Jesus refused to allow violence, even in defense of his own life. Instead he stated that those who lived by the sword died by the sword. His agenda was spiritual salvation, not political conquest.

Unfair Fee

Disturbance Needed

To the Editor: In 2007 we had a four-zone irrigation sprinkler system installed in our High Bar Harbor gardens by a local landscaping company. It obtained the necessary township permit. A letter arrived from the Long Beach Township Water/Sewer Department in March requesting proof of our sprinkler system permit and the announcement of an across-the-board annual increase of $292 on our next water bill (July 1). It seems that this is a ﬂat fee to all owners who have sprinkler systems. No matter how many zones one has, this fee will be the same. This is just not right. By the way, this additional charge of $292 is more than two-thirds of our annual water bill. Maryann and Bill Beitel High Bar Harbor

To the Editor: If we are concerned about the coming extinction of bobwhite quail (“The Tuckerton Seaport Has Fun Raising Quail,” 4/18), just take a look at our once-abundant ruffed grouse, common in all woodlands in the Pinelands at the time of the adoption of the Pinelands Protection Act. I challenge anyone to now take us out and ﬂush a ruffed grouse – they can’t because the grouse are all but extirpated from southern New Jersey! This will soon be the case for bobwhite quail. Why? Habitat preservation, plain and simple. These birds and many rare plant species that are now endangered require disturbance of the forests – disturbance that allows for the enhancement or creation of early successional habitats required by these species. New Jersey has adopted a handson preservation land protection policy that Continued on Page 8

Jesus tells us in the 25th chapter of Matthew’s gospel that at the last judgment when all the nations will be assembled before him, he will separate them, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. Then Jesus will say to the sheep (which is what he affectionately called his ﬂock), “Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me … Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.” That’s how Christians are to behave. So how come I don’t hear a peep about these issues from the self-proclaimed Christian frontrunners for the nomination? The only peeps I recall are those about not having to worry about the poor or unemployed because of supposed safety nets, “safety nets” that would morph into “entitlements” and be cut to pieces. Now before you call me a bleeding liberal, I do realize that just as some of the rich abuse the system, some of the poor act as though entitled to free everything without working for it. I believe, as St. Paul taught, that the community should provide for the needy, which meant orphans and widows, and those incapable of working. Paul, in fact, could have lived off the community but chose to mend tents along with his preaching. Now that the campaign mudslinging seems to have gone into remission, the political competitors are actually talking about issues. Some I agree with, some I do not. For instance, I don’t believe that trickle-down economics works. Reaganomics seemed to get off to a good start, but greed raised its ugly head, as it always does. The rich got richer and the poor got poorer. Continued on Page 11

Continued from Page 6 does not allow for any human disturbance or fire, both critical for providing the needed disturbance. The Pinelands are a changed environment and largely created by several hundred years of human disturbance and fires. Today and for the past 30 years, we have had little of either, and thus species extinction continues to increase as opposed to species protection we are all told is the purpose of the land preservation ethic. If we want to sustain a diverse, healthy, forested landscape, we need to get both fire and human disturbance back into action, and we had better do it soon before it’s too late. Once a species is extirpated, it is almost impossible and certainly too expensive to return that species to its habitat. Stop preserving land in the name of protecting biodiversity and then provide no stewardship to ensure these forest resources are sustaining themselves! Government needs to rethink this concept that humans are not part of the environment and need to be eliminated from it like vermin. Bobwhite quail deserve better. Thanks and support go to the quail project, for those true conservationists are some of the few citizens who understand all this and are really trying to save the quail.

Noxious Neighbor To the Editor: For more than 50 years, the Portland coalﬁred power plant on the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware River has been nothing but a bad neighbor to New Jersey.

To the Editor: I just wanted to take a moment to thank Detective Robert Burnaford of the Harvey Cedars Police Department for giving my son and his EJ School kindergarten classmates a tour of the station last Friday. A few weeks ago my son Gavin asked Robert if he could see the “Harvey Cedars jail.” Robert did him one better and offered to give a tour to Gavin and his friends. The kids thoroughly enjoyed it. Detective Burnaford talked about what a police officer does and also taught them safety tips and that it’s even OK to tell a police officer when good things happen (not just the bad stuff!). They also all got locked in the cell, which parents found extremely amusing. Having police officers like Detective Burnaford around make me proud to live in such a great and safe community.

Continued from Page 8 on New Jersey every year. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection estimates that this single archaic facility spews out more than twice the amount of hazardous sulfur dioxide into our state than all New Jersey power plants combined. But it doesn’t end there. A cocktail of heavy metals and nitrogen oxides also settle on our communities from this toxic dinosaur, contaminating our farmlands, woodlands, streams, lakes and bays. Thanks to the hard work of DEP Commissioner Bob Martin, the Environmental Protec-

Correction A story last week about the Beach Haven Elementary School’s 100th anniversary had two pictures with people erroneously identiﬁed. In the photo described as two teachers were actually Mary Alvaretta Sprague Stratton with a friend, Margaretta Parker. The photo described as a mother sending her children off to school was Mary Alvaretta Sprague Stratton with her two granddaughters, Sara Stratton and Elizabeth Stratton. The SandPaper regrets the errors.

tion Agency has ordered the plant to reduce emission by 81 percent – which plant ofﬁcials admit isn’t feasible given the age of the facility – or close by January 2015. While this decision is a win for New Jersey, I say why wait? Why allow this noxious plant to poison our environment and our residents for another three years? This plant needs to close today. Joseph H. Vicari, freeholder Ocean County

Serious Concern To the Editor: To the letter appearing in the April 18 SandPaper labeling concern over Social Security going broke a ﬁctitious problem, I would submit the following. From its inception until the presidency of Lyndon Johnson, dollars paid into Social Security were deposited into the Social Security Trust Fund, where they belong. Then, however, they were cleverly put into the “General Fund” of the U.S. Treasury, where they could be spent on anything politicians desired. U.S. Treasury IOUs were deposited into the Social Security Trust Fund in place of dollars to the tune over the years of a reported $2.6 trillion, including $68.16 billion last year alone. Over the last three years, the United States Continued on Page 12

The SandPaper/Wednesday, May 2, 2012

Continued from Page 6 The idea of ﬂat rate income tax is ridiculous. Let’s say it was 20 percent. Anyone can see that 20 percent would be a much greater burden on those earning $20,000 than on those making $200,000. How did taxation work 2,000 years ago? Although levied by the Romans, taxes were collected by crooked men, labeled “sinners” by the people, especially the rich. Today the unpopular task seems to be up to the political parties and the IRS. Not much seems to have changed. Scripture shows us a different approach in Acts 2:44-45. “All who believed were together and had all things in common; they would sell their property and possessions and divide them among all according to each one’s needs.” Imagine “believers” (which the candidates claim to be) creating a community where all are given food when hungry, given drink when thirsty, strangers are welcome, and all who are ill are cared for! Health care for everyone, what a novel idea! Now stretch your imagination and picture a country where every single child is welcomed with open arms. Every child is loved and cared for, within or out of its mother’s womb. No child is aborted. Why is this not the reality in our country? Why is abortion such a reality? Poverty (empty closets, empty cupboards, empty stomachs) is an understandable reason. What causes poverty? Greed, on the other hand, is not at all

understandable. Choosing a lifestyle of the rich and famous over the fruit of one’s own womb is incomprehensible to me. Pro-choice advocates declare that a woman has rights over her own body. But what constitutes one’s own body? A human body has its own DNA, fingers, toes, eyelashes, brain, heart and other organs. A human body within its mother’s body has its own DNA, fingers, toes, eyelashes, brain, heart and other organs, making it a separate entity. The saddest situation imaginable is realizing this fact and still aborting a child as if it were an internal parasite. Pro-life politicians who will do everything in their power to fight abortion yet abort “entitlements” of financial aid have me totally baffled. Their abhorrence of gun control, guns that kill more than 3,000 children every year, bewilders me. Instead, they chant, “Guns don’t kill people, people do.” True, a gun does not load itself, point itself and pull its own trigger any more than a scalpel inserts itself into a womb and destroy a life, piece by piece; people do. So get these weapons out of the wrong hands! Control their use. I’m sure that when Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me …” he did not mean in pieces. The writer of Psalm 139 had an unshakeable knowledge of who creates life and when it begins when he wrote, “You formed my inmost being; you knit me in my mother’s womb. I praise you, so wonderfully you made me; wonderful are your works!” So, what do you think Jesus would do? Y Dotty Cronan lives in Forked River, N.J.

We Need Pet Food

Continued from Page 11 has been running trillion-dollar-plus deficits, and by October the total U.S. debt is expected to reach $16.3 trillion. We now have to borrow 40 cents of every dollar we spend. Given this staggering debt load, how are we going to meet the ever-increasing demand on the fund with all the baby boomers now coming of age when the fund is not in dollars but only in U.S. Treasury IOUs? Will we go deeper in debt by borrowing still more or will the U.S. Treasury just print more dollars to devalue them further? This is clearly not a fictitious problem but is of serious concern to all seniors having expectations of getting the benefits they are entitled to when they come of age. Fred Laurenzo Little Egg Harbor

To the Editor: I enjoyed the Commentary column (“Please Don’t Feed the Bears: U.S. Welfare System Is Broken,” 4/18), as it was very informative. But it lacked a full spread of incomes. Take the third of our population, say a family of four, in which the breadwinner earns $10 an hour and has no health beneﬁts. Assuming no income taxes are paid, Social Security is deducted along with workmen’s compensation. The family has to live on $1,500 a month take-home. Average rent for a two-bedroom home is $1,200 a month, plus electric and heat. So the breadwinner takes on a second part-time job to pay for clothes and transportation. No car, no job – unless you live in the city or are lucky enough to walk or bicycle to work. Now about medical expenses: I mentioned most $10-an-hour jobs don’t provide medical coverage – or to be sure, employers keep you under 40 hours a week, part time. Notice I haven’t mentioned the $7.80-an-hour or whatever minimum wage is now. Try a trip to the hospital by paid (not volunteer) ambulance. Three years ago I took a six-mile, one-way ride to Southern Ocean Medical Center for a diagnosis. It cost me $1,800 – you heard it right. Back to the $10/hour family, how on earth do you pay that bill? How about dental work? We haven’t touched food. Does the wife get a job to put food on the table, and who watches the kids while both are working? Did you say daycare? Go price it. It would take almost the entire paycheck after taxes to pay for daycare. If the kids are school age, you have to ﬁnd a job to start after 7:30 a.m. and end by 3:30 p.m. Lots of luck! Were it not for after-school programs and free school programs, a lot of working moms couldn’t work. I wish the well-to-do could live a week as the working poor. Maybe then they would come up with ideas on how to improve life for people who work 60-hour weeks doing hard labor between two jobs just to survive.

I’ll be the ﬁrst to admit I wasn’t smart enough to succeed in college, but I didn’t hide from the draft in 1964 like most college students did. Draft deferment, my foot! They were too scared to serve. Stupid war, yes. Most people in Congress are college-draft deferred. They’ve never been blistered-hand working people, and look where they have taken us. Al Irvine Manahawkin

Charitable Chefs To the Editor: At Southern Ocean Medical Center’s annual Chrysanthemum Ball, we bid for and won dinner for 10 people, generously donated by L’Assiette Restaurant in Surf City. The two of us and eight friends were welcomed by Mark, Kevin and Madison to their ﬁne restaurants. They worked with us in the kitchen to prepare our dinners and served us an outstanding meal. Our hosts not only contributed their time and resources to help SOMC raise funds for a new, expanded emergency room facility, which will greatly beneﬁt our community, but they did it with enthusiasm, professionalism and good humor. We are most appreciative. Mike Armellino North Beach Beverly Karch Manahawkin

Need Change, Not Lies To the Editor: Where were you on Jan. 3, 2007? In case you have forgotten the details, President Bush’s prime contribution was that he was president during this time. The day the Democrats took over was not Jan. 22, 2009; it was actually Jan. 3, 2007. This was the day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the 110th Congress. The Democratic Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the ﬁrst time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995. For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is “Bush’s fault, ” think about this: Jan. 3, 2007 was the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the House. We need change, not lies. George Davis Haven Beach

MOTHER McCREE: Stacy Flora Roth will sing and give a history of Mother’s Day.

Mother’s Day in Music and Poetry

ong, poetry and prose are all on the menu when historical interpreter Stacy Flora Roth presents “Mother, Queen of My Heart” at the Long Beach Island branch of the Ocean County Library in Surf City on Wednesday, May 9, at 1 p.m. It is being held on the date in 1914 when President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation ofﬁcially establishing the nationwide observance. In a program sponsored by the Friends of the Island Library, Roth said she would feature songs that her grandmother and mother taught her as a young child. These include “Mother McCree,” “The Mother Song,” “My Mother’s Eyes” and “My Dream of the Big Parade.” Roth, who is co-founder of History on the Hoof in Burlington, said one of her favorite poems is “Mary, Mother of Washington,” by Edna Foster. “I’ll be drawing materials from the Middle Ages to the 1980s,” she said. Roth said she would also discuss the origins and history of Mother’s Day, which falls on Sunday, May 12. She said the catalyst was Anna Jarvis, a West Virginia native who had made a memorial for her own mother and began a campaign to make Mother’s Day a recognized holiday. Jarvis became disillusioned with Mother’s Day commercialism and believed that sending a card “means nothing except that you are too lazy to write the woman who has done more for you than anyone in the world.” Refreshments will be served, and white carnations will be given to each attendee. To register, call the branch at 609-4942480. —E.E.

otorcycle and classic car owners will want to go along for the ride when Cruisin’ for a Cure benefits a cancer charity this Sunday, May 6. And those without wheels of that style can still get in on the action by meeting the caravan where it ends for a lunch buffet and live music. This first-time event is a motorcycle and classic car ride from the Barnegat Township Municipal Dock to Longshots Restaurant & Bar in Waretown to raise money for local cancer patients. The run leaves the dock on East Bay Avenue, Barnegat Township, at 10:30 a.m. and ends up at Longshots at 535 Route 9, Waretown, at 1 p.m. Riders can register as early as 8:30 a.m. at the dock. A fee of $25 includes entry and a DD&BCF commemorative pin. Or a $50 package includes registration fee, pin, longsleeve T-shirt and lunch buffet. The buffet is $20 for non-riders, and $10 for those cruisers who paid the $25 registration. David’s Dream & Believe Cancer Foundation is the benefactor, and it gives a shout-out to local resident Kathleen Ryan, who spearheaded the ride. “This event has garnered a ton of support and is sure to be a great one!” say the foundation leaders on their blog, where readers can learn more about the foundation at davidsdreamandbelieve.org. Anyone who wants to register in advance may do so by mailing a check made payable to DD&BCF, 28 Magnolia Rd., Manahawkin, N.J. 08050.

By PAT JOHNSON ancy Camilleri’s angelic portrait of a child, “Sarah,” won Best in Show at the Pine Shores Art Association’s annual Spring Art Show. Camilleri has attended Sunday afternoon portrait sessions, held for free at the gallery, for a number of years and has honed her craft, preferring the soft look she gets from drawing with charcoal. The judge for the show was Joel Tidey, a life-drawing instructor with the Joe Kubert School in Dover and author of Drawing the Human Figure. Tidey awarded four Judge’s Choice Awards. Watercolor artist Bob Heyer won for his picture of a stranded rowboat on a marsh next to a shack – although it was not “our” shack. Lisa Budd won for her Philadelphia streetscape “23rd and Broadway,” a watercolor awash in light. The head of a rooster caught the creative interest of Mary Walker-Baptiste, who captured it in “Bring on the Cluck,” a mixed media piece. And Joyce Lawrence’s painting of five horses gathering in a paddock to chat “Before the Class” is a soft-focused oil. Tidey also bestowed four Merit Awards. Marilyn Flagler’s watercolor of a cow, “Katie from Arizona,” took a ribbon, as did Lee Fricke’s watercolor “Renewal,” of a twisted tree trunk. Lori Bonanni’s “Smithville Cottage” oil painting is one of her many plein air canvases – she tries to paint one a day. Bonanni is the organizer of the Pine Shores Plein Air Painters, which is starting up for the season this week (check the website at pineshoresartassociation.org). Joan Dandeo won a coveted ribbon for her expressive watercolor “The Bridge to Nowhere.” And the ever-popular Paul Daukas won the Artists Choice Award from his peers for his “Ballet Dancer” mixed media painting. Daukas loves to layer it on. The 2012 Spring Art Show will continue at the gallery through May 29. The gallery, at 94 Stafford Ave. in Manahawkin, is open Wednesdays, 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and Sundays, 1 to 3 p.m. Y

The Twain Shall Meet at Library

y the end of his life in 1910, Mark Twain had become known as the quintessential American author, having captured in his works the spirit, character and dialect of a nation. His writings also served to voice his running commentary on American society. Twain, whose real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens, will be brought to life in the form of actor David Kennedy when Kennedy appears dressed as the famous author for “Mark Twain: Wit and Wisdom” on Tuesday, May 8, at 7 p.m. at the Barnegat branch of the Ocean County Library. The program is sponsored by the Friends of the Library in conjunction with the New Jersey Council for the Humanities. Kennedy will read selections from Twain’s autobiography and numerous other works. Twain authored more than 30 books, along with hundreds of short stories and essays. The works he is most noted for are The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which were both drawn from his experiences growing up in Hannibal, Missouri. A prolific off-Broadway actor, Kennedy once served as producer, director and main actor of his own Actors Café Theatre in North Jersey. “I’ve been doing the Mark Twain program for more than 30 years,” said Kennedy. “What made him so special was how he spoke his mind. He didn’t care about what people thought.” Some of Twain’s most famous witticisms included “I have never let my schooling interfere with my education,” “It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog” and “If you have nothing to say, say nothing.” To register for the program, call the branch at 609-698-3331. —E.E.

ts time has come – the first-ever Pour Into Summer Wine Festival will uncork the summer season on LBI on Saturday and Sunday, May 19 and 20. Ten New Jersey wineries will bring their vintages to the shore. With an admission fee so reasonable it makes the head spin – $12 in advance or $15 at the gate, and anyone 21 or younger gets in free – the wine tasting experience will take place from noon to 5 p.m. on Taylor Avenue, behind Bay Village in Beach Haven (the same location as fall’s Chowderfest). The event is sponsored by the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce/LBI Region DMO and radio stations B98.5 and The Breeze (FM 99.7/107.1) and produced by GPS Inc. The wine festival is part of the weekend’s Soar Into Summer Season opening activities on LBI. Admission includes: tasting of more than 250 New Jersey wines, a sou-

venir wine glass, live music and entertainment. Delicious local cuisine will also be for sale by area restaurants. Attendees will be able to not only sample wine but also purchase wines by the bottle or case. “The mild winter has left everyone craving for summer to start. The Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce/LBI Region DMO along with local ofﬁcials, organizations and several premier New Jersey wineries have put together a true celebration of all things summer,” said Lori Pepenella, destination marketing director. “May 19 and 20 will be the ofﬁcial welcoming of the 2012 summer season for Long Beach Island with the Soar into Summer Beach Opening and LBI’s inaugural wine festival, ‘Pour Into Summer Wine Festival,’ providing a chance for everyone to soak it all in with a relaxing, familyfriendly weekend,” Pepenella said. Among the New Jersey wineries featured are: Amalthea Cellars, Auburn Road Vineyard, Coda Rossa Winery, Cream Ridge Winery, DiMatteo Vineyard, Plagido’s Winery, Renault Winery, Sharrott Winery, Tomasello Winery and Wagonhouse Winery. This prestigious group of wineries brings with them numerous award-winning wines, including double gold, gold, silver and bronze medal winners, from the International Finger Lakes Competition, The San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition and the Indy International Wine Competition, just to name a few.

Chamber President Chris Schwab commented, “The Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce is thrilled the wineries have chosen this area to showcase New Jersey wines. There is a buzz in the region about the festival, and people cannot wait to go. This will be the start of a mutually rewarding event that will bring even more people to the area just as the summer season ofﬁcially begins.” Producer and organizer of the wine festival, Kathy Bullock of GPS Inc, said, “On behalf of the 10 New Jersey wineries and my company, I can tell you that we are all very excited about the tremendous opportunity to bring a great new wine festival to LBI. We cannot imagine anything more perfect than excellent award-winning wines all produced right in New Jersey being showcased in one of the most well-loved parts of New Jersey … Long Beach Island. The Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce/LBI DMO, Beach Haven ofﬁcials and the people of LBI have embraced this event, and we are so grateful for their support.” Tickets will be available at the gate for $15, but the advance tickets at $12 are available only on the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce/LBI Region DMO website, www.visitLBIregion.com. Large groups and bus tour groups may call GPS Inc. at 609-758-5400 for more information. —M.S.

elp clean up the local watershed on Wednesday, May 9, as part of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s Barnegat Bay Blitz. In October 2011, more than 2,400 volunteers – including DEP Commissioner Bob Martin, department officials and staff members, in addition to area residents – picked up garbage throughout the Barnegat Bay watershed’s 37 municipalities as part of the very first Blitz. “Volunteers came from a wide array of local groups, including students, senior citizens, environmentalists, business and local government leaders, and even military personnel from Fort Dix,” as explained on the DEP website dedicated to this year’s event. “This is a great way to engage the community,” Blitz co-chairwoman Katie Barnett, an environmental specialist with the DEP, said on Monday. For the 2012 event, she noted, “we’re anticipating 5,000 volunteers. ... We collected 1,200 bags of trash and recyclables last year, and we want to double that this year.” On Long Beach Island, residents, town officials, schoolchildren, DEP employees and members of local environmental groups such as ReClam the Bay and Alliance for a Living Ocean pitched in for the 2011 effort, which is detailed, by municipality, on the DEP website.

Opposition Builds On Seismic Testing In Atlantic Ocean First Step Towards Drilling for Oil and Gas By PAT JOHNSON isions of dead or dying dolphins and whales on the New Jersey coast brought more than a dozen representatives of conservationist organizations to Atlantic City on Friday to oppose opening East Coast waters to seismic testing for oil and gas reserves, what many see as the first step toward deep-well drilling in the Atlantic. The federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management Regulation and Enforcement held a public hearing on the possible environmental impacts of proposed offshore oil and natural gas exploration in the Mid- and South Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf. An arm of the Department of the Interior, the BOEM is responsible for the Five Year Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Natural Gas Leasing Program. It handles oil and gas lease sales, sand and gravel agreements, official maps and GIS data. The hearing in Atlantic City was the last of eight hearings along the East Coast, and the only one in New Jersey. During a pre-hearing press briefing, Cindy Zipf from Clean Ocean Action spoke to a small crowd. “The Atlantic Ocean is a vibrant ecosystem that supports extraordinary, diverse marine life, which in turn supports a clean ocean economy for people who fish, dive, surf, swim or just enjoy it. We’ve worked hard to clean up our ocean. We will not stand by while our government opens the door to Big Oil. We are here to defend our future.” Jeff Tittel, director of the New Jer-

sey Sierra Club, echoed her remarks. “This testing is unnecessary, and does environmental damage by impacting sea mammals and marine life. The only reason for this testing is so they can drill later; otherwise it is not logical for oil companies to waste their money. It is, ‘test, baby, test’ in order to ‘drill, baby, drill.’ According to the Energy Management bureau, seismic testing would help assess the conventional and renewable energy resource potential in the Mid- and South Atlantic. The environmental impact study would help inform future decisions about whether and where leasing would be appropriate. “This analysis will move us forward toward developing an updated body of scientific information that will support future decisions about potential conventional and renewable resource development,” said James Bennett, BOEM chief environmental ofﬁcer. The bureau completed an environmental impact study on the plan to open a huge swath of the Atlantic Ocean approximately 20 miles offshore, from Delaware to Florida, for exploration at the request of 11 independent seismic testing companies. Oil companies technically do not own these test companies, which sell their exploration results – geological data that indicates where oil and natural gas deposits may exist – to energy companies. They can also sell the information to offshore wind farms or to government agencies looking for sand

The data is needed, say the test companies, because the last exploration was 30 years ago and done without beneﬁt of modern technology. The draft EIS (pending amendments after public hearings concluded) resulted in a choice of three directions, or alternatives, for the BOEM to take to protect marine mammals. Although the seismic testing companies say there is no hard science to support claims that seismic air gun tests (essentially underwater explosions of air) cause fatal harm to marine mammals, the intense noise clearly disrupts their communications. And there is empirical data that seismic waves have caused beachings or strandings because of hearing loss and disorientation to marine mammals that rely on their own sonar, known as echo-location. Many environmentalists believe that the cause for thousands of dead and dying dolphins that were washed up on Peru’s beaches this year can be traced to seismic testing by oil companies. Conservation groups have also opposed seismic testing by the U.S. Navy, claiming those sound waves blow out the sensitive eardrums of whales, causing hemorrhaging.

East Bay Avenue Work to Continue Into June Work on East Bay Avenue in Manahawkin that began in March, and has often resulted in multiple portions of the county road simultaneously reduced to one lane, will continue until sometime in June, according to Lt. Thomas Dellane of the Stafford Township Police Department. Officers from the department have been supervising alternating traffic flow while Atlantic City Electric is enhancing power lines. “They are replacing utility poles and upgrading the power lines running to Long Beach Island,” said Dellane. Despite multiple sections of East Bay Avenue reduced to one lane during daytime work hours, “We have not received any formal complaints about this project,” said Dellane. “I have been informed that AC Electric is utilizing several crews to get as much work done as possible before the summer season begins.” Following the anticipated completion of East Bay Avenue work in June, the project may go on to other phases that do not involve Stafford Township. —M.M. Alternative A, preferred by the BOEM, would allow the testing but close areas of the ocean to air gun testing for 20 nautical miles during Northern right whale migrations. It would also require boats to clear the area of marine mammals for 20 to 45 minutes before beginning the testing, and to shut down operations as soon as a marine mammal enters the testing

zone. Spotters would look for marine mammals. Alternative B would be the same, while also closing an area off Central Florida during sea turtle nesting season. It would also require a separation zone between simultaneous seismic surveys, and require passive acoustic monitoring, which is less invasive. Continued on Page 42

By MICHAEL MOLINARO candlelight vigil of at least 50 people – mostly student teens – continued well into the night last Wednesday near the corner of Breakers Drive and Mermaid Avenue in Ocean Acres, where an all-terrain vehicle accident led to the death of 15-year-old Southern Regional High School freshman Chris Wildes. There were an estimated 300 people at a vigil the previous night at the same location, which had been blocked off by Stafford police for an event that underscored the prevailing pain for those who knew Wildes. The accident occurred at 10:38 p.m. on Friday, April 20. Wildes was the passenger on a quad driven by a juvenile male driver. Wildes was thrown from the vehicle when the driver lost control and ran off the road and through the front yard of 1827 Breakers Drive. Wildes was transported to the Atlantic City Trauma Center. He was pronounced Michael Molinaro dead on Sunday, April 22.

Learning Local At Barnegat Bay Roundtable Educators Convene At 15th Annual Event

ast Wednesday at the Lighthouse Center for Natural Resource Education in Waretown was all about local teachers learning about the local environment – from the importance of estuaries to the relationship between climate change and shorebirds – as instructors from schools throughout the county took part in the 15th annual Barnegat Bay Environmental Educators Roundtable. Sixty-eight teachers participated in the various programs coordinated by the Ocean County Soil Conservation District to prompt educators to explore environmental topics and subsequently bring knowledge and resources back to their classrooms. “The Ocean County Soil Conservation District … is committed to natural resource conservation and education on all aspects of the diverse environs of the Barnegat Bay watershed and Ocean County,” said Assistant District Director Christine Raabe, who added that the roundtable “has become a regionally signiﬁcant professional development opportunity for area educators.” As Karen Walzer, program outreach coordinator for the Barnegat Bay Partnership, remarked, “The Barnegat Bay Environmental Educators Roundtable is a great opportunity for educators to learn about the bay and its watershed, network and share ideas, and bring lesson plans about the local area back to their students. Educators realize that connecting lessons to the local environment not only enhances learning, but also fosters a sense of stewardship for our valuable resources.” The doors opened at 3 p.m. for an open house, followed by dinner and a brief welcome from Raabe, who made a point to thank the many event partners. As she noted on Friday, “The steering committee that is involved in this event includes representatives from most of the agencies and organizations that provide resources and programs related to our watershed: the Ocean County Parks Department, the Natural Resource Education Foundation of N.J., N.J. Sea Grant Consortium, ReClam the Bay, Save Barnegat Bay, Tuckerton Seaport, Forest Resource Education Center, N.J. Division of Fish and Wildlife, Barnegat Bay Partnership, Jenkinson’s Aquarium, Ocean County Department of Solid Waste, Rutgers Cooperative Extension, Pinelands Preservation Alliance and many others! Each year, this group of dedicated educators develops programs to present at the roundtable.” Within the steering committee, formed in 1997, Raabe noted, “there was a collective realization that working together, we could complement and coordinate all the wonderful resources from throughout the county and bring area teachers together for a ‘one-stop shopping’ event to help them bring environmental topics into our schools.

“Our ultimate goal was to bring together the opportunities for teachers to incorporate Barnegat Bayspeciﬁc topics and issues into their classrooms, while connecting them with lesson plans, activities and supplemental materials to augment their school curricula. By making students aware of their environments and instilling a ‘sense of place,’ we realized we could nurture and encourage an environmentally aware and active citizenry for the future. It seemed like a simple notion – and all of the partners embraced the program, and have continued to be a part of this event.” This year’s roundtable programs included: “This Isn’t Your Parents’ Barnegat Bay,” “Endangered Shorebirds Project,” “Macroinvertebrates in Hidden Pond,” “What’s Up with New Jersey’s Estuaries?,” “Virtual Watershed Field Trip Using PowerPoint,” “Shellﬁsh in the Classroom: Raising Environmental Awareness for the Next Generation,” “Talking Trash: Not Just about Litter,” “The Science of Sand,” “‘Just Enough’ or Too Much? Stewardship of Cultural

and Natural Resources,” “The Daily Life of the Lenape Indian” and “From Twelve Days of Terror to Jaws to Saving the Ocean’s Apex Predator.” “I really enjoyed presenting the workshop ‘What’s Up with New Jersey’s Estuaries?’ to an enthusiastic group of educators,” said Walzer. “Estuaries offer wonderful opportunities for science education. They impact our lives, and we in turn impact them. During the interactive program, we focused on two local estuaries, the Barnegat Bay and the Great Bay, and the issues affecting them. The participants learned about current research and tried out several hands-on activities, including ‘Dash for Grass’ (about the animals and plants that inhabit seagrass beds in the bay) and ‘Sea Level and the Terrapin’ (about the effects of sea level rise on diamondback terrapin habitat).” John Wnek, Marine Academy of Technology And Environmental Sciences supervisor, conducted his presentation aboard the school’s vessel the R/V Sirenia. “The workshop Continued on Page 40

Ocean County Planning DWI Checkpoints Ocean County Prosecutor Marlene Lynch Ford recently announced the continuation of a county DWI checkpoint program held in conjunction with local police departments. She said numerous checkpoints would be set up through the county at yet-to-be-determined locations, beginning on Memorial Day weekend. “The purpose of these efforts is to educate, deter, arrest and vigorously prosecute impaired and intoxicated drivers, who each year are responsible for about a third of the deaths occurring on Ocean County roadways,” said Ford. “In 2011, the DWI checkpoints and enforcement increased, which assisted in successfully decreasing the fatal crashes in Ocean County from 58 in 2010 to 53 in 2011.” Funded in part by the Ocean County Board of Freeholders and N.J. Division of Highway Safety, the checkpoints would be conducted by local police agencies in conjunction with investigators from the prosecutor’s ofﬁce and the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department K-9 unit. Lynch said the program is operated through the prosecutor’s vehicular homicide unit under the direction of Steve Cucci, supervising assistant prosecutor, and Lt. Elliot Morgan. “They will be focusing on both intoxicated and drug-impaired drivers,” she said. Michel Paulhus, executive assistant prosecutor, added, “They’ll determine the checkpoint areas by looking over statistics and various trafﬁc data.” —E.E.

Full Speed Half Marathon On Seven Bridges Road FRESH OUT THE GAIT: Participants in Sunday’s 5K and half marathon were treated to temperatures in the low to mid-50’s and a light, northwest breeze – ideal conditions for a long run. The race drew 315 registrants, with proceeds beneﬁting Ocean of Love, a Toms River-based nonproﬁt organization that provides services to families of children with cancer. Sponsored by Applebee’s of Manahawkin, the event honors the memory of Tyler Berg, a local boy who died from brain cancer six years ago at age 8. Registration was held at Tuckerton Seaport, with the starting line located around the corner in the neighborhood of Bartlett’s Landing. Upon making their way out to Great Bay Boulevard (locally known as Seven Bridges Road), 123 half marathoners (68 women, 55 men) followed an out-and-back course to total 13.1 miles, taking in scenic views along the way.

Runyan Wants Student Loan Lenders to Be More Transparent

ccording to the Project on St udent Debt, A mer ican college seniors who graduated in 2010 not only took their sheepskins home with them but an average of $25,250 in student loan debt as well. Meanwhile, unemployment for young recent college grads climbed to 9.1 percent in 2010, the highest annual rate on record. It is, therefore, easy to see why college loans have become a political football in the past couple of weeks. President Obama pushed for legislation that would stop a pending interest rate increase from 3.4 to 6.8 percent for federally subsidized student loans, set to take place July 1. House Republicans were more than happy to oblige him, quickly passing a bill, by a mostly party line vote, that would avoid the increase. But it would be paid for by taking money from a women’s health care fund. Obama and Congressional Democrats would rather see the

bill paid for by closing some tax loopholes for corporations. The battle continues, but obviously many grads – 66 percent in New Jersey have college loan debt – are stuck between a rock (college loan debt) and a hard place (a shortage of jobs) as they attempt to launch their careers. But hey, some would say, kids take out loans to earn a degree that, experts have said for decades, will result in a much higher income over the course of their lives. So stop whining already! Imagine, though, having to pay off thousands of dollars in student loans while never, ever standing a chance of recouping the payments through the higher salaries a degree promises, if not guarantees. That’s exactly what happened to a family from Congressman Jon Runyan’s 3rd District back in 2006. Christopher Bryski of Marlton had racked up $50,000 in college

“The higher education of a young adult often involves a commitment from an entire family.

He hung on, suffering from severe brain injuries, for two more years before dying at age 25. His brother Ryan, now 34, had cosigned the private loans and, after Christopher’s death, was responsible for paying several hundred dollars a month.

Just this past week, under pressure from the public (about 75,000 signed a petition asking for the loan forgiveness), the bank that inked the private loans forgave the debt. But Runyan, a Republican, and a Democratic colleague, Bill Pascrell, who represents New Jersey’s 8th District, want to make sure such a situation doesn’t arise again. Figuring the iron was hot thanks to the interest rate controversy, they sent letters last week to the chairman and ranking minority member of the House Education and Workforce Committee asking them to consider a bill, H.R. 3240, which is also called the “Christopher Bryski Student Loan Protection Act.” The legislation would not force private lenders to forgive college loans in the case of the death or disabilit y of a st udent /g rad. It would, however, require lenders to clearly spell out the obligations of co-signers in case of unfortunate

circumstances such as in the Bryski situation. “When Congress addresses student loan obligations, I hope that we also use the opportunity to move forward on the Bryski legislation,” wrote Pascrell, chairman of the Congressional Traumatic Brain Injury Task Force. “The higher education of a young adult often involves a commitment from an entire family. We must see that what happened to the Bryski family will not happen to other families.” “The United States is still in the midst of a fragile economic recovery,” wrote Runyan. “And this has forced millions of students to take out loans to attend college and graduate school. The Christopher Bryski Bill will add much needed transparency to the student loan process, which can be very confusing.” — Rick Mellerup rickmellerup@thesandpaper.net

It would be the last step in the planning process of locating a store on Route 9 near Otis Bog Road, said William Harrison, the attorney for Walmart in New Jersey.

Keith Germain said that on April 14, Danielle Johnson, 23, of Manahawkin; Robert Shayne, 21, of Barnegat; and a 16-year-old Barnegat juvenile forged a withdrawal slip and took $160 out of a 25-yearold Waretown resident’s bank account.

on the basis of what they considered a flawed traffic study. Last December, a Superior Court county judge ruled in favor of the planning board, but the Walmart plan was again halted when opponents filed an appeal. Reviews by the state's appellate division can take from nine months to a year because of case volume. According to Harrison, the remaining issues in siting the 161,143-squarefoot Walmart on 35 acres in a former gravel pit on Route 9 have been resolved. He said the state Department of Transportation has approved a traffic light for the intersection of Route 9 and Otis Bog Road. Tim Greeley, spokesman for the DOT, said the light is a “developer agreement project.” “We are processing an access application by Walmart at this location, and it includes the installation of a new traffic signal on Route 9 at Otis Bog Road. The permit has been issued, but has not been executed yet. Under the proposed agreement, the developer will pay for all costs associated with the development and construction of the signal.” Also, The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection has issued the wetlands and CAFRA permits, said Harrison. The issue of locating the entrance road closer than the required 150 feet buffer for endangered tree frog habitat – Cope’s Southern Tree Frog – has been rectified through mitigation.

By PAT JOHNSON he wasn't always interested in birds and birding, said photographer and author Susan Puder of Barnegat, but when she moved to the Jersey Shore 10 years ago, the sheer number and variety of shore birds took her breath away. With her trusty Nikon camera, she began the stealthy pursuit of them with the idea of a future book nestled in her mind. New Jersey Birds and Beyond has just been published by Schiffer Publishing Ltd. The coffee tablesized book is lavishly illustrated with 434 stunning photographs, which, except for a handful, were taken by Puder. The book’s title references the great opportunity New Jersey birders have to see an abundance of species because of its strategic location along the Atlantic flyway, a major migration route. The book showcases 180 bird species along with their native flora and fauna. “Over 435 species of birds have been recorded in New Jersey, and someday, I hope to see and photograph them all,” Puder said. The book, the author’s first, is highly instructive in a friendly manner. The informal text is sprinkled with whimsical commentaries such as you might expect to hear during an entertaining slide show. For instance, on captioning her photo of four Harlequin drakes, she notes the males are better-looking than Continued on Page 40

Southern Rams Charge to Remote Area Medical T By MICHAEL MOLINARO wo Southern Regional teachers and an All Saints Regional Catholic School nurse braced themselves onboard a small jetliner they could only describe as “a bus with wings,” alongside a priest and two Indian monks that they were told could not speak to women as they set out for Chattanooga. For many, the ideal spring break involves taking a jetliner to an exotic location for some good old American fun-in-the-sun hedonism. For others, such as nurse Sue Ellen Fitler and teachers Susan Sattan and Adele Berardi, it meant charging their way to Bristol Motor Speedway for the pleasure of working at the latest Remote Area Medical (RAM) clinic April 13-15. “The irony is that probably 90 percent of the people that went there for medical care have never gone there to see a car race,” Berardi said of the fourth-largest sports venue in America, and the eighth-largest in the world. “Here these people are making this trek to mecca, but the mecca they’re going to is not the mecca of racecars; it’s the mecca of basic common things that we take for granted every day.” Rather than house its maximum 165,000 people over the weekend, the racing venue would see just over 2,000 people, from near and far, head to Appalachia in urgent need of no-cost medical care, for which RAM has become a pioneer. The 100 percent publicly funded non-proﬁt – meaning no funding from the federal government – has conducted over 660 free healthcare clinics worldwide, with 60 percent now taking place in the United States. Fitler worked at a RAM clinic in a separate location in 1998. She set her mind to returning to help this year at the Bristol clinic. Sattan was there because Fitler, her mother, asked her to go and because she “had nothing better to do.” Upon hearing of the opportunity through Sattan, Berardi recalled a “60 Minutes” piece on RAM in 2008 that at the time had brought her to tears, recalling a forgotten desire to do missionary work after college before real life got in the way. Fitler maintains a shared school nursing

position at All Saints Regional Catholic School in Manahawkin. During a recent prayer service, she was surprised when the student council sent her off with a donation and a blessing. “The head of student council stood up and said, ‘Nurse Sue has been taking care of us a long time now, and now she’s going to Appalachia to take care of people there,’ ” said Fitler, who was then given a check for $300 to give to RAM. Berardi and Sattan subsequently began collecting donations, some in the form of money but most in the form of a commodity many take for granted. “Our initial mission was to bring as many toothbrushes down with us as possible. We’d go to our (school) mailboxes everyday and there’d be toothbrushes there or on our desks;

some mailed us them from other states. It was crazy!” said Berardi. The women then stuffed three suitcases full of the 1,771 toothbrushes they were able to accumulate to donate to RAM. “It gave everybody a piece of what we were able to feel, which was really nice. To think of a toothbrush as a luxury item really kicks people in the stomach around here,” said Berardi. In Tennessee they joined over 300 volunteers from around the country: registered nurses from as far as New England and Seattle; doctors, physicians assistants and medical students; college students in pre-med; nurse practitioners; a sports medicine specialist; and other unpaid helpers. About 85 percent of the patients sought dental care in the form of cleanings, ﬁllings, or extractions; or vision care in the form of

free eye exams and eyeglasses. The clinic also covered general medical care from hearing screenings to x-rays, as well as women’s health procedures and mental health referrals. Bags of non-perishable food were given out in addition to meals received during a patient’s visit. Even some veterinary services were offered for pets. After what was a ﬁve-minute orientation, Sattan and Berardi spent most of their weekend helping patients who needed help ﬁnding the right pair of free eyeglasses. “They kind of assessed Susan and I and said we were young and hip enough and could help pick out glasses; or we had good style or something. We both laughed!” said Berardi. They took few breaks throughout the weekend, even for going to the bathroom. “We were Continued on Page 42

School Taxes Abate Slightly In Barnegat

Stafford Hosts Largest Arbor Day in NJ

2012-13 school budget adopted recently by the Barnegat Township Board of Education increases expenses by $2.6 million but will result in lower numbers on the school tax bill. According to Dean Allison, school business ad minist rator, the total district expenditures are $48,635,766, with state aid accounting for roughly $21 million. He said state aid increased by approximately $170,000 from the current school year. However, he noted that last year, the board received approximately $480,000 in restored state aid relief that had been previously cut. “We had the option of using that money to help lower taxes and try to give the taxpayer a break,” said Allison, adding that the owner of a home assessed at the township average of $260,000 would see a $52 reduction in school taxes. This does not include municipal or county taxes. Allison said that because spending did not go above the 2 percent state-mandated cap, the budget would not be on the ballot when the board races are held in November. Allison said most districts in the state took advantage of a new law giving them the option of moving elections from April to November. He said that almost 70 percent of the spending increases came in what were “nonrecurring expenses,” with the major line item being $900,000 for roof repair of the Cecil Collins Elementary School. The building was closed in September and did not reopen until mid-January due to a mold remediation program. “The roof repair will be the ﬁ nal piece of that project,” he said. “The roof has been leaking, and that was a major factor in water getting in and mold growing over the summer.” Allison said there would also be $120,000 spent for replacing windows at the Lillian Dunfee Elementary School. “These are nonrecurring expenses because these projects will be done during this school term, so they won’t be in the 2013-14 budget,” said Allison. District Superintendent Karen Wood said the board also had to spent $60,000 for an administrative training program involving teacher evaluations. “For the 2013-14 school year, the state is looking at making changes in the way teachers are evaluated,” said Wood. “This is something that all districts have to prepare for.” Wood said that a recent use agreement with the Ocean Professional Theater Co. will bring in $50,000 annually. Headed by former Surf light Theatre artistic director Steve Steiner, the company is housed at the high school and will be doing productions in the building’s auditorium. “We’re looking to put that money in an account for the future use of the (Elizabeth) Edwards (Elementary) School,” said the superintendent. Located on Route 9, the Edwards building has been closed for the academic program since 2003. The

tafford Township observed its 24th annual Arbor Day celebration at the Ocean Acres Community Center last Friday, welcoming 156 award-winning Stafford students from kindergarten through grade 12, along with their families, to a ceremony alive with children’s laughter, festive snacks and oak tree seedlings as gifts for all. The celebration, which Mayor John Spodofora said “continues to be the largest Arbor Day celebration in the state of New Jersey,” was focused mostly on getting local children involved in environmental protection. “Stafford Township started off with the idea that the best way to get the message across about saving the environment and the importance of trees is by getting the children involved, and I can’t think of a better way to get the children involved,” said Spodofora during the assembly. Later, Spodofora reiterated the same point, saying that the township’s goal is to “continually educate the children, because they are the future. That’s where we feel the effort needs to be. Because when you get the children involved, they get their parents involved. It’s a domino effect.” Of course, it’s not a celebration of the earth and the trees without a quote from the Lorax: “Unless someone like you cares a whole, awful lot, nothing is going to get better, it’s not,” recited one presenter. In the spirit of the truffula tree, and in keeping with this year’s theme of “OAK: Our Animal Kingdom,” each attendee was sent home with an oak tree to plant. Kin oak, willow oak,and chestnut oak tree plants were handed out by students as guests ﬁled into the auditorium. Spodofora said approximately 800 seedlings were distributed, serving to truly get people involved by getting out and planting their new trees.

Spodofora said the celebration gets larger every year, and the committee has had to continually seek new venues to accommodate the larger crowds. The Rev. James Occhipinti, who offered the opening prayer for the event, said this year’s crowd of several hundred children, parents and members of the community showed signiﬁcant growth from the ﬁrst Arbor Day celebration 23 years ago, when just a handful of people attended the planting of a single dogwood tree outside the Stafford Township Library. “To see the crowd bloom and grow from that point to this day is a great honor and

tribute to the leaders in this community,” he said. “Literally thousands” of students from the Stafford schools, Lighthouse Christian Academy, St. Mary’s School and Southern Regional Middle and High schools entered this year’s essay, poem and poster contests, said Spodofora, in large part because teachers have implemented Arbor Day, Earth Day and environmentalism into the curriculum and encouraged students to participate. All applicants were judged within their respective grades, and awards were presented to those “who best represent an

understanding of the numerous ways animals improve our lives,” according to the Environmental Commission. Four winners from each grade level in each category, totaling more than 150, made their way to the stage to collect medals, certiﬁcates and savings bonds. In all, Spodofora said the event cost about $10,000 to run, including the distribution of awards, but that “these celebrations are done without using any township funding at all. It’s all done through donations and volunteerism,” he said. Local businesses sponsor the event on various Continued on Page 42

“But now, it is sitting there doing nothing,” she said. “Whatever we decide to do, it is going to need

In his three years as a starting middle linebacker for the Bengals, he surpassed his own record each year for all time leading tackling, and was one of two recipients of the Most Valuable Player award at the football banquet in the winter. Though his football achievements are undeniable, his wrestling record may be what truly sets him apart. At last week’s wrestling banquet, Schoﬁeld was presented with yet another MVP trophy, this time for his accom-

Fire Severely Damages Home in Barnegat

fire that severely damaged a home in the Four Seasons at Mirage community in Barnegat Township has been ruled accidental. Police Lt. Keith Germain said that on April 25 at 6:37 p.m., officers responded to a fire alarm activation at a Lakeside Drive residence. Upon arrival, officers discovered there was a fire in the attic. Officers confirmed there was no one inside the building and began an evacuation of nearby homes. Germain said the Barnegat and Stafford volunteer fire companies quickly extinguished the fire, and evacuated residents were allowed to return at 7 p.m. The residence was deemed uninhabitable by representatives of the township construction office. He said an investigation by the police department and Ocean County Fire Marshal’s Office determined the fire was caused by a blocked furnace pipe in the attic. —E.E.

plishments on the mat. “I felt good,” he said. “I thought I deserved it.” Indeed, Schofield was the first wrestler in Barnegat High School history to make it to the state level competition, the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association tournament, held in Atlantic City. His journey to the state competition included many other accomplishments along the way, including Matawan Ice Breaker Champion, Buc Classic Champion, third place at the Hawk Classic, second place in District 24, and third place in Region 6. Like his wrestling achievements, Schofield’s football accomplishments make up a long list, including Class B South Co-Defensive Player of the Year, Fabulous 40 squad, first team All B-South, first team All Ocean County, second team Off Shore and third team All State, Group 2. These achievements are what he will draw upon for his future athletic endeavors. In March, Schofield committed to William Paterson University in Wayne to play football, after being recruited based on his achievements in high school. Though he said he would have enjoyed a wrestling career alongside football in college, his commitment is to a school that does not offer a wrestling program at this time. “I ended my [wrestling] career in Atlantic City,” said Schofield. “My goal was to make it to Atlantic City. I didn’t have any expectations of winning, just to make it there.” Schofield said he is “very excited” to leave for college on Aug. 12, and feels confident in his choice of a university and athletic program. “I liked the coaches; I liked the campus,” he said. “It’s a good fit for me.” When it comes to goals for the next few years, Schofield said, “I want to repeat what I did in high school football in college and be a part of the turnaround of William Paterson’s football program.” The program, which

Repeating what he did in high school means starting as a middle linebacker from sophomore year through senior year, and he said he hopes to work on special teams during his freshman year to “make sure they know who I am.” Schoﬁeld said he plans to major in physical education or special education at William Paterson and ultimately wants to coach high school football and wrestling, in large part because his own coaches inspired him. “I want to give back what people gave to me,” he said. Schoﬁeld, who has played in just about every major sport at some point in his life, including a stint with the New Jersey Stickball Association, got serious about football and wrestling in middle school, getting involved in the programs in sixth and seventh grades, respectively. He credits his successes to little but hard work and dedication. “I just worked hard at both of them and trained all year ’round, lifting and running,” he said. “I just do the best I can do. And I really don’t like losing. If I lose, I do everything I can to make

At the end of Culp’s 948-word essay, he writes, “After my friend Andrew Jackson was the Governor of Florida he won the presidential election in 1828. He became the seventh president of the United States and was the only president to fight in the War of 1812 and the Revolutionary War. President Jackson opened the doors to the White House because he thought it was a people’s place. People destroyed a lot of things but President Jackson’s attitude never changed.” He adds, “Then Jackson passed a law that would require Native Americans to be forced out of their homeland in the east and live in Indian Territory. Over 17,000 Native Americans started an 800-mile march to Indian Territory which is called the Trail of Tears. Jackson used his vetoes to stop spending and was the first and last president to pay off the National Debt. “Jackson was reelected as president in 1832. It wasn’t long after that my friend’s life dimmed and he died June 8, 1845. My only wish is that in 200 years Americans will celebrate Andrew Jackson’s life for his patriotism, bravery, courage, heroism and devotion because that’s the man I knew.” All students in grades five, six, seven and eight are eligible for the NSDAR’s annual essay contest, whether they attend public, private or parochial school, or are home-schooled. This year, the Great John Mathis Chapter, based in Manahawkin, received entries from the Beach Haven School, the Frog Pond Elementary School, Tuckerton Elementary School, LBI School and Eagleswood Elementary School. As Boyce explained, “All students who participated in the essay will be given a certificate by Great John Mathis Chapter, and the winners from each grade level at each school will be awarded with a bronze medal and chapterwinning certificate in June at their school award assembly. Additionally, Zoe and Tristan have been invited to attend Great John Mathis’ picnic on June 12, where they will be presented with an award from the chapter.” — Juliet Kaszas-Hoch julietkaszas-hoch@thesandpaper.net

just 14 years old. He began borrowing a few of his father’s woodworking tools and restoring furniture for income during high school. In 1979, when Szalay was only 17, he decided to purchase an old bank building, circa 1914, in downtown Barnegat, to continue working professionally. Szalay owned and operated the antique and restoration shop for 26 years before he decided it was too much trouble to run both. Now Szalay focuses solely on restorations, and the shop is simply his home and studio. Although the shop displays many “closed” signs, people still try knocking on the doors in hopes of perusing the many fi ne antiques the owner has accrued over the years. Luckily, Szalay and his neighbors look out for each other’s properties. “That’s a ‘no trespassing’ sign,” said Szalay’s neighbor Christina Demopoulos, pointing to a sign on the shop’s front door and sporting an I’m-super-serious glare. “I’m the pit bull, and I watch over the outside perimeter of this place,” she added. Unfortunately, none of the onlookers were able to score an interview with the Pickers, but they did win a big smile from Fritz, who quickly passed through a sea of excited fans before heading onto his bus. Many of the show’s admirers hung around to snap photos of Wolfe while the show’s crew shot take after take of what looked like a personal interview, but they were quickly shooed away after Wolfe complained the crowd was standing in his view and distracting him from his lines. Under sworn secrecy, Szalay wasn’t able to talk much about the specifics of the filming, except to say that they were working on a special project together. According to Szalay, the episode will air some time during Season 4 of the show. So fans should keep their eyes peeled for the mention of Barnegat in the upcoming episodes of “American Pickers.” Y

"When she found Kitty Knight, she liked her story.” In the essay that Deakyne turned in to her teacher, Jennifer Stahl, she describes how her neighbor in 1812 Georgetown, Md. – Catherine Knight, nicknamed Kitty – ran up to British soldiers “who were setting fire to many buildings and chased them off ” with a broom in one hand and an American flag in the other. As the fictional Zoe watches through her kitchen window, Kitty addressed a soldier who seemed to be in charge, with a “fancy uniform and many medals,” telling him, Deakyne writes, “‘I shall not leave. If you burn this house, you burn me with it.’ I found out later it was Admiral Cockburn himself, and he soon called off the troops.” The soldiers eventually departed, leaving the town somewhat in ruin, and although “Kitty did not feel like a heroine” as she was “merely trying to protect a sickly neighbor who would never be able to escape a fire,” to the townspeople, and especially to Deakyne, she was a heroine. “It was my grandfather she fought to save.” “The War of 1812 is a forgotten war,” Deakyne writes, “but many heroes and heroines emerged. Kitty Knight was modest and did not speak much about the events that day. However, I have always admired her. I believe it is important to honor her selfless acts of bravery so others can continue to follow in her footsteps.” Culp, a student in Barbara Frame’s class, pretended he met Andrew Jackson during the Revolutionary War, when the hero of the War of 1812 and the future president of the United States was just a teenager. “Tristan very eloquently described a more personal side of Andrew Jackson than many history books tell,” said Boyce. As Culp details, Jackson was the youngest brother of three sons born to Scotch-Irish immigrants, and he fought in the Revolutionary War at age 13.

Hey, you can’t blame the car engine for being excited, too. “I was heading to Curves this morning when I saw the ‘American Pickers’ van,” said local resident Laraine Harris. “So when my friend gave me a call, I ﬁgured we’d better stop by and see what was going on,” she added, posing for a picture in front of the show’s van with friend Carol Mills, also a local resident. Luckily, Szalay didn’t seem too worried about all the unusual attention. He simply said hello to everyone who walked by or asked him a question about the Pickers, before continuing on with his work. Besides, he and Wolfe have been friends for years. The two met about 15 years ago at an antique motorcycle meet in Oley, Pa. Wolfe and “Jersey Jon,” as Wolfe affectionately calls him, realized they were interested in many of the same things, including authentic, quality antiques, restoration and early motorcycles such as Emblems, Indians and Harley Davidsons. After their ﬁ rst meeting, Wolfe and Szalay kept bumping into each other and eventually started picking together all across the country. “Mike is really busy,” said Szalay. “It was three years ago when he called me up and said the History Channel bought six episodes (of ‘American Pickers’). I’m his best friend, and now I only get to see him maybe once a month. But I’m proud of him. I want all of my friends to succeed in life,” he added, while torching a 1912 Emblem motorcycle dogleg into its rightful shape – a restoration project he’s working on for a client in Arizona. Szalay’s passion for antiques took shape in the form of furniture building when he was

locally, such as the Common Eider, a diving duck that visits during the winter at Barnegat Inlet. And Purple Sandpipers can be found on jetties along our beaches. An avid landscape and nature photographer for 20 years, Puder said she became interested in birding just about a decade ago, but after moving to the Jersey Shore in 2004, that interest “exploded.” “I was living in Union Township and I was sort of interested, but I became serious when I moved here because there were so many shore birds I had never seen before. I’m also only a half hour from the Edwin B. Forsythe (National Wildlife) Refuge in Oceanville.” The majority of the birds in the book were photographed within 50 miles of her Barnegat home. As a direct result of her growing birding obsession, in 2008 Puder founded the Southern Ocean Birding Group, which meets every second Thursday of each month at 7 p.m. in the Hunting Shanty at the Tuckerton Seaport. Her love of nature began in her childhood, when she visited her grandfather’s house on Culver Lake in Sussex County. Growing up in Union Township, she used to roam the woods behind her house. “That was before they built Newark College, that became Kean University. It was Kean Farms when I was a girl, and I saw pheasants and the typical woodland mammals. I always loved animals; birds came later.” Today, Puder is a dedicated environmentalist and a member of the New Jersey Audubon Society, the Sierra Club, the Wilderness Society, Defenders of Wildlife and other environmental organizations. She supports the preservation of open space. “I also want to inform my readers about the threats particularly to songbirds, whose numbers are decreasing due to loss of habitat, not just in the U.S. but in Central and South America, where they winter.” She also instructs cat lovers not to let their pets roam free. Puder’s photography has been published in Digital Imaging and AAA World magazines, and she exhibits in New York City and throughout New Jersey. She has won many photo competitions; she was a ﬁ nalist in the nationwide, 2011 “We Love Birds” competition sponsored by the Cornell Ornithology Lab and the National Resource Defense Council. She is both a judge and a presenter for the New Jersey Federation of Camera Clubs and provides many of the photographs for a blog, “Linda’s for the Birds” by Linda Gangi, on www.WildNewJersey.tv. Puder’s website is www.eaglecreekphotos. com. New Jersey Birds and Beyond can be ordered through Schiffer Publishing Ltd., Atglen, Pa., for $34.99 or through Amazon. Tuckerton Seaport and local venues are still being researched. Puder plans a series of book signings up and down the Jersey coast starting in June. Y patjohnson@thesandpaper.net

discussed the need for baseline data and the Governor’s 10-Point Plan for Barnegat Bay.” The day’s sunny skies, the Lighthouse Center’s food, numerous free resources and the opportunity to investigate local environmental issues alongside colleagues ensured the success of this 15th installment of the roundtable. “Perhaps most noteworthy,” Raabe concluded, “is that teachers attend the roundtable on their own time. It is an after-school event that runs from 3 p.m. in the afternoon until 7:30 p.m. This speaks volumes about their interest and dedication to bringing ideas and resources into their classrooms. “Teachers are an extremely creative and energetic group of professionals that continually amaze the steering committee with their passion and enthusiasm. Numerous schools have developed exemplary stewardship projects with their students and schools, and we have witnessed a growth in environmental involvement, thus developing and instilling an environmental ethic and responsibility in our youth. We are achieving our ultimate goal!” For more information, visit ocscd.org or call Raabe at 609-971-7002, extension 21. — Juliet Kaszas-Hoch julietkaszas-hoch@thesandpaper.net

Continued from Page 36 the females. “Why is that so common in nature, but not so much with humans?” she muses. And under another photo, “You may think you are seeing a flock of female mallards on a girls’ night out, but look closer for the yellow bill with a black tip and a violet wing patch and you realize it’s an American Black Duck.” “I wanted to be humorous because people should have fun birding; some birders take themselves too seriously,” said Puder in a telephone interview. “I also want to get novices interested in birding.” She also decided to include rare visitors to the shore to tantalize the armchair birder to keep a lookout for occasional bird visitors blown by storms into our viewing area. These birds are known in birding circles as vagrants. “During the summer of 2010, a trio of Blackbellied Whistling Ducks, normally found along the Gulf coast, decided to vacation in Cape May, and who could blame them,” she writes under a photo taken by her friend Dr. Howard B. Eskin. In the interest of compiling a true picture of New Jersey birds, Puder included photos of birds she had seen but was unable to capture herself. New Jersey Birds and Beyond is obviously too big to take along on a birding trip like the pocket guide books birders often utilize, but its large-sized photos, the breezy captions and short introductions by Puder make it a great educational tool. The book’s chapters are broken down into four regions and the birds that populate them: Along the Shore; Grasslands, Meadows and Marshes; Woodlands and Lakes; and Pine Barrens. “Along the Shore” is further structured into “Winter Birds” that migrant south to our bays and ocean and those one can see “Spring through fall,” either migrating through, like the warblers, or staying to breed, like those we find in our backyard bird feeders. A birder could easily flip through the pages of the Along the Shore, Spring through Fall section before going out on a kayak trip in the marsh or before setting off to the beach to familiarize themselves on the birds they are most likely to see. Always willing to educate the public and share her knowledge of birds, Puder placed photos of the endangered Piping Plover on a facing page with the more-common Semipalmated Plover to distinguish the two. The Semipalmated Plover has a darker back and thicker black neckband. And who could misidentify a Snowy Egret as a Great Egret after reading “Bright yellow feet looking like a pair of galoshes helps to identify the Snowy Egret”? The Great Egret has black legs and feet, we learn. Puder also gives tips on where to fi nd birds

Like any other estuarine system, there will be changes that occur over time. However, the decree of humancaused affects is not as clearly deﬁ ned. “This workshop looked at basic parameters that are indicators of change and related them to causes and discussed effects. For example, we measured temperatures in the Oyster Creek and the adjacent outﬂow that are part of the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Facility. The participants measured the thermal structure of the creek and compared it to the open bay where the water was discharged. There was a change in water temperature of approximately 4 degrees Celsius over a 0.5-mile span. We also looked at the percentage of bulkheading along the shoreline, and measured water visibility using a secchi disk. “All participants used hand-held meters and took measurements at different locations in the bay. Some of the measurements included dissolved oxygen, salinity and pH. We also

‘Tribute to Twenties Atlantic City’ Pays Off Big for Charity

Taste of Southern Ocean County Dinner to Help Fill Food Banks T he Taste of Southern Ocean County Hunger Relief Dinner always makes a memorable splash, and the 17th annual is another one for the records. Guests experienced a nine-course gourmet meal whose items hearkened from actual menus of Atlantic City restaurants in the “Boardwalk Dynasty” of the 1920s. But more significant than the culinary historical re-creation, the dinner was a successful fundraiser in its endeavor to fight hunger. A final accounting of proceeds from the dinner and silent auction on April 25 is pending but is expected to reach or exceed the stunning $70,000 raised last year. The money is donated to seven area food banks. However much is raised, it is needed. “This year in Ocean County over 50,000 people live in poverty. One in every six is a child,” committee chairman and chef Ian Smith cited from a

demographic study. The dinner is presented by the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce and the Southern Ocean Community Foundation. Local supporters have rallied to the cause to a greater degree every year. In 1995, the inaugural “Taste” dinner raised $3,700. Seventeen years later, not even including the 2012 dinner, a total of $400,000 has been raised to support anti-hunger and antipoverty initiatives in Southern Ocean County, Smith said. Guests paid $125 per ticket and also had the chance to partake in a silent auction for prizes that had been donated by businesses and individuals. The hosting Sea Oaks Country Club played a generous part, as did the chefs, who donated their skills. “It was a terriﬁc night. All enjoyed a good time and, most importantly, showed their support for our communities in need,” Smith summarized

after the event. The inspiration was a culinary tribute to the Atlantic City of the 1920s, a storied time. “Tonight’s menu takes us back in history to dining in Atlantic City during the Prohibition era. The selections chosen for our hors d’oeuvre reception and dinner were discovered in menus from The Marlborough Blenheim, The Hotel Traymore, The Shelburne, The Chalfonte-Haddon Hall, The Claridge, and The Ritz Hotel,” diners learned in their printed program. “Our chefs have added contemporary updates to a few of the dishes while other recipes were recreated with total accuracy.” The theme “Boardwalk Dynasty” carried an interesting parallel to the time when the Taste dinner was launched, as Smith further pointed out in his annual letter to dinner patrons. “In the 1920’s Atlantic City experienced its Golden age. Tourism was

Continued from Page 37 so overwhelmed, but not in a bad way. There was nobody cracking the whip on us. You just knew you were needed in that space.” “You didn’t want to leave,” said Sattan. Meanwhile, Fitler worked alongside doctors in the general medical area. Though Fitler somewhat knew what to expect, having been to a previous clinic, some patients left her with memories she said she would never forget. She described a woman named Shayla who entered the facility with a 5-centimeter cystic growth under her right eye that she hid from view under her hair for ﬁve years; no one was willing to treat her unless it became infected and required emergency treatment. “It took a good 20 minutes to get it off and suture her up. The playfulness of this woman when we sat her up and showed her what it looked like in a mirror… she said, ‘I can wear my hair up, I can go to my daughter’s graduation. I don’t have to hide my face anymore.’ Just knowing that we were a part of that… That’s what the whole thing was about; that in some ways, you make everybody’s life a little better, whether you pull their teeth, give them glasses, or treat them medically.” Fitler described another elderly woman with severe emphysema who, clutching her inhaler, told her of her dream to return to her home of California. She had moved back to Appalachia to take care of her parents, and both have since died. “You look at this lady and you realize there’s no way this lady’s ever going back to southern California. She was so debilitated, and that was really sad. You do the best you can. You help her and say, ‘You’re going to have a great trip and I’m glad you’re going to be able to do that.’” Not everyone’s story was a sad one. Fitler recounted the tale of a man and his horse. “He said, ‘I was in my truck two years ago and I came upon this horse. It was tied up in the barbed wire. I stopped my truck and got the horse down and didn’t realize he had a friend that came up and bit me on the back, and picked me up and threw me.’ I said, ‘Oh, is that what brings you here today?’ He said, ‘No, my ankle hurts.’”

Seismic Testing Continued from Page 32 Alternative C would deny the requests to conduct seismic testing. The environmentalists all called for the BOEM to adopt Alternative C. U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) sent a letter in opposition to seismic testing. “We do not need oil spills on the New Jersey Shore, or drilling oil companies as close as Delaware,” he wrote. “Oil is difﬁcult to clean off of beaches. We cannot allow drilling off New Jersey.” Congressman Frank Pallone (D-6th) also sent a letter. “I am totally opposed to offshore drilling off the Atlantic Coast. My opposition includes any preparatory steps, including seismic testing in our waters off the Atlantic coast. The time and resources that the Department of Interior is allocating to seismic testing could be better used on higher priorities that will allow us to move away from dirty fuels and faster achieve U.S. energy independence through renewables such as wind and solar power. “We all know how important New Jersey’s beaches are, not only to residents of our state, but also for countless visitors. Our beaches are a tremendous resource for those who come here to enjoy them, and they are a huge economic engine for our state. They’re the primary driver of a tourism economy that supports nearly 500,000 jobs and generates $38 billion in economic activities for the state each year.” Seismic testing would be the ﬁrst step in the direction of opening up the Atlantic coast to oil drilling, he noted. “Most drilling off the Atlantic coast would be deepwater drilling, just like Deepwater Horizon. Yet in the two years since the BP spill, none of the proposals recommended by the National Commission on the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling have been put in place.” Pallone called for the Department of Interior to reconsider its priorities in ensuring American

The doctors themselves, particularly young students showing compassion for the needy, made an equal impression on Fitler. “To bring up a generation of doctors like this; there is hope. Nothing was below anybody.” In the dental care area, Berardi attests to having witnessed one adult male having all 32 of his teeth pulled during his visit. Sattan recalls those that needed at least six or seven extractions at a time. “You have these people that are in such agony that they don’t look beyond ‘stop the pain.’ Get the teeth out – stop the pain,” said Fitler. Berardi could not forget one woman who was having trouble finding glasses that fit due to having suffered several broken noses. “She looked at me and said, ‘I didn’t have a great mom.’ I said, ‘I understand. Those glasses look great on you.’ “I’ve never heard of anybody’s mom breaking their nose, in my entire 49 years. So that was an overwhelming moment.” “There’s so many overwhelming moments,” said Sattan. “I don’t think a lot of them realized that over the years their vision had deteriorated and they couldn’t really see. Some people cried (when they put on glasses), or they said, ‘You’re so purrty! I thought you were purrty before, but you’re so purrty!’” Stan Brock – the creator of Remote Area Medical – not only wields the name of some superhero alter ego; he was actually named a “CNN Hero” earlier in the month. Brock started RAM after spending 15 years in the Amazon rainforest as a cattle-herder – sometimes going days without food and water – and learning of the overwhelming need for basic medical care in such remote areas. He also co-starred in the television series, “Wild Kingdom,” and eventually vowed to find a way to deliver basic medical aid to people in the world’s most unreachable regions. The organization was founded in 1985. Years of research and planning yielded a vast, carefully developed network of medical professionals and volunteers paid in gratitude. Sattan, Berardi and Fitler described meeting the man behind the mission. “I got to meet him first and I walked in and got Susan and said, ‘I just met God,’” laughed Berardi. “He had this calm presence in this massive

flurry of activity going on around him all the time and he was just so calm,” said Sattan. “We were both taken aback at his humility and his being so shy and so soft-spoken. He was thanking us and were thanking him for this opportunity,” said Berardi. Sattan described a modest existence for Brock, who she claimed accepts no salary from RAM, pays $1 rent a year and showers with a garden hose. “He lives simply and purposefully,” said Sattan. “We should all strive to be even just a smidge like his man.” Describing the physically fit man, well into his 70s, making the rounds via a bicycle, Fitler said, “You talk about living saints… Everyone wants to talk to him and he has a minute for everybody.” Fitler asked Brock about heading closer to home, to a place like Newark, NJ, where she knows the free healthcare is desperately needed. Brock explained RAM’s primary obstacle in regards to expansion currently, and that is reciprocity. He refers to current laws that bar outof-state healthcare professionals from working within a state, making the expansive network of volunteers he has amassed powerless to participate in clinics in all but five states: Tennessee, Virginia, California, Kentucky, and Oklahoma. “It’s absurd,” said Berardi. Patients are not asked whether they have insurance, a job, or whether they are citizens of the United States – only that they arrive early to the clinic. Berardi and Sattan had worked alongside a 16-year old volunteer translator who saw little use, as all but a few spoke English. “She was very surprised she didn’t see drug addicts or other stereotypes.” Working alongside the teen may have earned Sattan and Berardi that which they would take back with them other than an intense, soulshaking gratitude for the entire experience: the idea to organize a trip for Southern Regional High School students to participate next spring. “If we bring kids to France and Italy, why can’t we bring kids that are interested in volunteerism?” proposed Berardi. Sattan and Berardi have already received permission from administrators to present their case soon for a “Rams for RAM” trip to

energy independence. “The process you are embarking on will have severe consequences on our ocean environment, beaches, marine resources, and coastal economies in the short term and long term.” Seismic surveys are typically done from a ship that trails an array of 20 or more air guns that continuously blast sound waves between 120 and 300 Hz, that penetrate the sea floor and bounce back to the hydrophone receivers. The results are analyzed for deposits of natural gas, oil, sand and gravel. The ship covers 300 square kilometers with each pass and does sweeps of an area to get a continuous reading of the sea floor. The industry acknowledges that the testing could be harmful to marine mammals but notes there is no hard scientific data. According to one company, TGS from Houston, “Conducting scientific research is a long-term commitment that needs to be published in scientific journals and that is validated by independent research.” TGS claims that marine animals will move away from the area undergoing testing. During the public hearing, Sean Dixon, coastal policy attorney with Clean Ocean Action, said mitigation proposed to lessen impacts to whales and dolphins will not be foolproof. “I used to be an observer hired to spot whales, and I can tell you that you can’t see them in foggy, cloudy conditions or (during) strong winds.” Air gun rays create giant air bubble explosions that send sound waves miles below the ocean floor. According to Dixon, the explosion propagates sound waves through 1,800 miles of ocean over tens of thousands of square miles. “The volume of water habitat affected is staggering,” he said. “In Peru they are studying whether seismic surveys taking place off the coast are the reason for the deaths of 1,000 dolphins that washed ashore. There is evidence that they have air bubbles in the blood from rapid ascent from the depths from being scared from these loud blasts. It’s damage like you would see from divers ascending the water column too fast – essentially,

the animals get the bends. “The same kind of surveys were recently called off in the Gulf of Mexico in Louisiana by the same agency over concerns of dolphins there. There are a lot of unknowns. There’s a lack of information on how these blasts might affect other species in the ocean: plankton, fish larvae, sharks, migration routes – there’s been no research on this – neither has there been any research on how it might affect scuba divers.” Sheila Dean, co-director of the Marine Mammal Stranding Center in Brigantine, said she was concerned about a possible mass stranding of marine mammals because of the air gun seismic testing. “Research shows whales and dolphins are affected by this. Loud sound displaces them from their preferred habitat; it distracts them from feeding, breeding, nursing and communications,” she said. “Strandings could happen, and there is also the risk of death and serious injury from hemorrhaging. Permanent hearing loss would also result in mortality. Zipf referenced the tough “Jersey Shore” TV show. “Welcome to the real Jersey Shore, where we fiercely defend our ocean,” said Zipf, of Clean Ocean Action, founded in 1987. “For 25 years our coalition of women and men – who are fishermen, boaters, surfers and divers – fought and defended our ocean. We fought back against raw sewage, chemical dumps and garbage. And now you come here with a proposal to blast our ocean with noise, to kill our marine mammals, disrupt our fisheries – and we are offended. There are many bipartisan elected officials opposed to this. Our governor is opposed to this. Your proposal will impact our coast, and you are all going to hear from all of us. Stop now! Leave the Atlantic the way we want it: a clean ocean zone.” James Laugren from the Fishermen’s Dock Cooperative and Garden State Seafood Association said the Department of the Interior has eyes only for oil companies and doesn’t even recognize that the fishing industry exists. He decried the Continued on Page 54

the board of education. The program would be groundbreaking as the ﬁrst to bring high school students to Remote Area Medical. “I can’t wait to go back again. I can’t imagine not doing this every year for the rest of my life,” said Sattan. “This is my wedding present from my husband to me,” said Berardi, who celebrated her 25th anniversary over the weekend. “It cost us money to pay for all our expenses but it was the best money I’ve ever spent. I left thinking that was the best present for my soul – ever.” “The most important thing to me is the stories just live in your heart forever and to know that you made a difference and made their life a little bit better,” said Fitler. “You will get so much more than you give. You have to do it.” Y michaelmolinaro@thesandpaper.net

Hunger Relief Continued from Page 41 Private clubs around the city hosted gambling and other recreational activities. This was the decade that Atlantic City was dubbed the ‘World’s Playground.’ “During the time of the Boardwalk Dynasty’s, the nation had fallen into The Great Depression. While the rich dined in elegance, many families suffered the consequences of hunger. Taste of Southern Ocean County was created in the 90’s, a time when the modern casinos were arguably at their peak. While the money ﬂowed into the casinos, hunger surrounded Atlantic City as well as Southern Ocean County. “Tonight while enjoying your meal the contributions that you make will help reduce the number of children and families who experience hunger in Southern Ocean County.” Shrimp martini and lobster thermador never tasted so good for a good cause. The following are the participating restaurants and chefs: Buckalew’s, Allen Menegus; Copper Fish, J Geoffrey Johnson; Viking Fresh Off the Hook, Charles Ostergren; Sea Oaks Country Club, Mike Creevy and Chris Herrmann; La Spiaggia, Daniel Stragapede; Grapevine, Joe Manfe; Howard’s, Kevin Sparks; Scojo’s, Paul Dim; Country Kettle Fudge, JB Maschal; Ocean County Vocational-Technical School, Ian Smith, Gary Lesniak, Jason Crispin, Dawn Miller, Nancy Foley and culinary students. — Maria Scandale mariascandale@thesandpaper.net

Arbor Day Continued from Page 38 levels, including the donation of trees to be planted throughout the community on Arbor Day. This year, local businesses donated 45 trees, many of which were planted to populate the Doc Cramer Sports Complex fields. This year’s celebration also recognized Terry O’Leary, State Forestry Service education coordinator, who is retiring this year after 12 years of service. O’Leary was honored with the planting of his favorite tree, the white dogwood, in Manahawkin Lake Park. “I did go over and inspect that it was planted properly,” O’Leary joked. Arbor Day also holds a special significance to the Stafford mayor, who met and married his wife, Helen, on two consecutive Arbor Days in 1979 and 1980. He presented his wife with flowers on stage and wished her a very happy anniversary. Stafford Township, one of many towns throughout the country designated “Tree City USA” by the Arbor Day Foundation, is among only six towns in New Jersey (and less than 250 nationwide) to have achieved the highest level of recognition from the foundation, Sterling Tree City USA, showing growth in community forestry, Arbor Day celebrations and other environmental causes for more than a decade. Currently, the Stafford Township Environmental Commission is focusing its efforts on watershed management throughout Barnegat Bay. Spodofora said the goal is to “improve the land so that it handles storm water and creates better homes for the species that are living there.” — Ashley Tedesco ashleytedesco@thesandpaper.net

Sailing’s Future Starts Here

Optimist Team Trials See Nation’s Best, Dennis Conner Visits

ast week, in an article letting people know that the Brant Beach Yacht Club would be hosting the 2012 United States Optimist Dinghy Association Team Trials from April 26 to 29, The SandPaper said Long Beach Island would be the Williamsport of the sailing world for the week. Optimist racing, you see, is limited to kids younger than 16

years of age and, like Little League in baseball, is the starting point of many, indeed, most, big-time sailors of the future. Well, to continue with that baseball theme, the Babe Ruth of American sailing showed up on Saturday night to lend his words of encouragement to the young Optimist competitors. It would be difﬁcult to

REGATTA REGALIA: A pristine, cloudless azure sky matched the waters of Barnegat Bay on the fourth day of racing at the 2012 United States Optimist Dinghy Association Team Trials. Spectators and coaches had a clear view of young sailors all vying for a place on the U.S. National team and a spot in upcoming international events. The event is hosted by Brant Beach Yacht Club and brings together the top 225 Opti sailors from 22 states. argue that he, just as the Bambino was the ultimate baseball player, isn’t the greatest American sailor ever, what with his four America’s Cup wins, 28 World Championships, an Olympic bronze (1976), three U.S. Yachtsman of the Year honors and induction into both the America’s Cup and U.S. Sailing halls of fame. Yes indeed, Dennis Conner has had

quite a sailing career! Conner’s appearance – “it was a last-minute thing,” said USODA Executive Director Bud Kovacs – was the highlight of an already great four days of racing. “It was a tremendous event,” said Kovacs. “We had every conceivable condition, including winds over 30 knots on Friday.”

In other words, it was a true challenge, with the kids having to show their ability to adapt to whatever Mother Nature threw at them. Meanwhile, talk about a true down-to-thewire competition! The winner of the four-day trial was Ivan Shestopalov of Miami’s Coral Reef Yacht Club. He scored Continued on Page 47

only 29 points in the 13-race trials, with one point awarded for a fi rst-place fi nish, two for a second, etc. A competitor’s two worse fi nishes were tossed out (in Shestopalov’s case a ninth and 13th). The winner ended up with nothing worse than a fi fth and with five fi rsts, none being more critical than in the fi nal event. The second-place fi nisher, you see, the Lauderdale Yacht Club’s Nic Muller, ended up with 30 overall points. He fi nished second in the fi nale, therefore the one-point difference between the two sailors. Wow, let’s switch sports metaphors for a second – that’s the equivalent of a horse winning by a nose! Will Logue of Connecticut’s Riverside Yacht Club was third with 43 points. Wiley Rogers of the Houston Yacht Club scored 47 points, good enough for fourth. Romain Screve of the San Francisco Yacht Club was fi fth with 55 points, important because, as Kovacs explained, the top five sailors qualified to represent the United States in the Optimist World Championships this July in Boca Chica, Dominican Republic. If, said Kovacs, a member of the BBYC, there was one cloud hanging over a generally brightly sunny competition, it was the fact that no local sailors made the cut to compete in Boca Chica or in the European Championships as well. “It just shows they were racing against the best Optimist sailors in the country,” said Kovacs. A pre-race favorite had been Jeffrey Glosenger of the Lavallette Yacht Club. After all, he had fi nished fourth in last year’s Lake Garda Optimist Meet in Italy, the largest-ever sailing competition – the unfortunate Spanish Armada perhaps excluded – with some 1,000 young sailors! Well, Glosenger was the best local entry, with his 113 points good enough for 18th place. Let’s give the young man credit – 18th is more than respectable considering there were 186 highly qualified competitors. Drew Lorenz of the Haven Beach Club was the top Island competitor, scoring 153 points to fi nish 31st. Clayton Johnson of the host club was 32nd with 159 points. Other LBI finishers included Carrson Pearce of the Surf City Yacht Club (55th – 223 points), Dante Rienzi of the BBYC (72nd – 265), Timothy Lojek of the Little Egg Harbor Yacht Club (106th – 346) and Carrter Pearce of the SCYC (108th – 348). — Rick Mellerup rickmellerup@thesandpaper.net

The SandPaper/Wednesday, May 2, 2012

Lawyers Are Hard to Save; Dogs Are Eaten Worldwide H

ERE I AM!: I was looking at a list of the most laughably ludicrous, outdoors stories in recent years. I just have to pass on the winner, and a lawyer joke to boot. Attorney Ben Lipscomb went duck hunting in a heavily swamped area of Arkansas and was put upon by ﬂood conditions. Take it from me, in Arkansas you can get in real deep, real fast. Talk about some serious outback. When Lipscomb didn’t return home as scheduled, rescue efforts were launched. State and federal (USCG) choppers meticulously crisscrossed the swamp areas where the man should be. They saw no Lipscomb. But Lipscomb saw them. Repeatedly. With each chopper ﬂyover, the hunter would wave his arms, jump up and down, and scream his lungs out. No response – even when the choppers were right overhead. Gospel truth, the esquire had kinda forgot one thing: He was covered head-to-toe in camo, hand-chosen to perfectly blend in with the foliage. “Hmmm. And you say they just weren’t seeing you, eh? (Chuckle) No more questions, your Honor.”

Eventually it hit the lawyer that he needed a better rescue look. Despite the fall chill, he took his pants off, prepared his briefs (bad pun) and waved them wildly from the end of his shotgun. “Sam, either that’s our man down there or that bayberry plant is in some sorta trouble.” And they wonder why we make up lawyer jokes. WICKED ME: I got a not-unexpected email from someone blasting my positive take on the show “Wicked Tuna.” It was one of those sobby people unwilling to see the tuna through the conservational trees. (Huh?) Think about it: If fishermen conserve their asses off, then get nothing for their sacrificing – which is what some groups want for American tuna and big game fishermen – nobody, myself included, is ever going to conserve again. Don’t even ask. Catching me will be the only option. True fishery conservation must have a light at the end of the sacrifice tunnel. There cannot be a sign, “No Fishing – Ever.” Hell, it’s not far from that now. Our national regulations barely allow our guys to touch our in-EEZ tuna stocks, while the rest of the world cleans house on even the smallest of tuna. Foreign boats have been seized with hundreds of football-sized bluefin tuna. The fully flagrant violators get hometown hand slaps – slip some sushi to public officials – and they’re out at sea ignoring backboneless International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) regs. Importantly, when both protecting and fishing gamefish, we’re virtually always talking about specie that can – and readily will – make impressive comebacks. Sensible conservation often leads to rapid, oft-remarkable recovery. After that, a sensible harvesting game plan can easily keep things in eco-balance, ad infinitum – i.e. the American way. What’s more, I’m a vociferous believer in the concept that it’s ridiculously reckless to overprotect a particular species at the expense of other vital members of an ecosystem. In the case of tuna, it’s almost laughable to portray the taking of such a marvelous creature as being “murder.” Every week, a tuna fish eats its frickin’ weight in other, equally life-loving fish and marine life. It’s a bloody jungle out there. Sure, that thinking is a stretch for some folks but just talk to any prey species about how they picture tuna. You’ll see why they simply love “Wicked Tuna.” “You go, Tuna.com, harpoon that

Migrators vs. Mammoths It’s a Lopsided Fight for Beach Space NATURALLY CURIOUS: As a hulking beach repair project crawls methodically along Brant Beach, it is now mixing it up with the spring migration of the common blue-shirted weekend gawker. Here, a mated pair of gawkers ponder how close they can safely get to the mammoths. bastard! Ate my kids.” Finally, plaudits to NatGeo for dousing its valuable broadcast time with a load of conservational talk regarding tuna stocks. It’s drawing due attention to the abuse of all gamefish by many/most other nations. EATING DOGS: I got an e-mail from a fellow who was keeping a couple dogfish (not sure spiny or smooth) to try on the barbie. He wrote, “I keep reading about the fight by commercial fishermen for dogfish, so I figured I might as well give them a taste test.” He gutted, skinned and is soaking them, per

tradition – though I’ve been told that soaking part isn’t necessary if you’re eating the sharks right away. Soak ’em anyway. I’ve eaten them a number of times, with fair to good results. Dogfish are, in fact, a prime component of Britain’s fish-and-chips, though far from the lone species. It’s actually a grab bag when you order fish-and-chips in England. If the Japanese will eat anything as sushi, the Brits will seemingly wrap just about any fish in with chips. Weirdly, the Germans pickle the belly flaps Continued on Page 54

Anglers Reminded to Recycle Monoﬁlament Line

Jack Reynolds

Taking Advantage When It Gets Gusty Windsurfers Go for the Gusto BRING IT: While boat anglers have fretted and fumed over the all too common small craft advisories and gales, other outdoor user groups, i.e. windsurfers, have cashed in on the aggressive air currents.

nglers enjoying the spring fishing season in the Long Beach Island area are advised to recycle monofilament fishing line at one of a number of area collection sites to keep this material out of landfills and open water. Monofilament – typically single-strand, high-density, flexible plastic – “takes a very long time to break down, leading to entanglements and ingestion in numerous marine species, causing injury and possible death,” said Christopher D. Huch Jr., executive director for Alliance for a Living Ocean, which has plans to set up a monofilament collection unit at its office at 1101 Central Ave., Suite A, in Ship Bottom. “Stray monofilament lines can also cause harm to swimmers, divers, and cause damage to boat propellers,” he added. “Monofilament collection programs remove these hazards from the marine environment with the added benefit of recycling.”

The recycled line can then be made into products such as fish habitats, tackle boxes and spools for monofilament. As part of its Clean Marina program, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s Coastal Management Program partnered with the BoatU.S. Foundation and the BoatU.S. Angler Program to distribute collection bins to the following area locations: Barnegat Lighthouse State Park, the bayfront at Dock Road and Second Street in Beach Haven, the Beach Haven Yacht Club, Morrison’s Marina in Beach Haven, Cap’t Mikes Marina in Little Egg Harbor, Leamings Marine in Waretown, South Harbor Marine in Waretown and Spencer’s Bayside Marina in Waretown. “The bins are made of sturdy PVC pipe with an opening near the top in which to place used fishing line,” explains the Clean Marina website, cleanmarina.org. “Hooks, bobbers and other debris should be removed

from the line before placement in the bin. No other trash or recyclable material should be placed in these bins. “The host facility collects the material from the bins and ships it in postage paid boxes to Berkeley Conservation for recycling. Berkeley will send a replacement shipping box to the host facility.” The site adds, “All boaters, fishermen, marina owners and others are encouraged to collect and recycle used monofilament fishing line in order to keep it out of the marine environment and help prevent unnecessary harm to aquatic life and personal watercraft.” According to the Long Beach Township Public Works website, Oceanside Bait and Tackle in Beach Haven Crest, Jingle’s Bait and Tackle in North Beach Haven and Robbie’s Loveladies Marina also have monofilament line recycling receptacles on site, while a local resident acts as the steward for a Continued on Page 54

t about 8:30 on the night of Saturday, March 15, 1856, approximately 100 passengers boarded the steam ferry New Jersey for the short voyage from today’s Penn’s Landing to the Jersey side, near where today’s battleship New Jersey is moored. What the passengers didn’t know is that many of them would never reach the Jersey shore. As Capt. William S. Carson, from Camden, tried to navigate a river choked with ice floes, he headed for a canal between two islands in the middle of the river (they were removed years later). Finding a canal blocked by ice, Carson tried to back out, and then someone shouted, “Fire!” The captain pointed the New Jersey toward the Arch Street wharf and left the ferry under the control of the pilot, John Springer Carson, then went forward to tie the ferry fast when they made shore. Springer stayed at his post until the fire reached him and he lost steering control. Carson jumped off the bow as the ferry came closest to the wharf. The New Jersey then headed upstream on its own. Just how many were on board is unknown. The captain testified at the coroner’s inquest. “I should judge there were from 75 to 100 persons on board; the boat was originally built about fifteen years ago; I take the fares at the gate, but, having made a trip before, the money for both trips became mixed together; I have not counted the money, and suppose I might have lost part of it, so that, the money would be but little guide in judging of the number on board.” He claimed, “A number of passengers leaped overboard at the first alarm of fire; when I leaped off I saw no one on board, the flame and smoke had driven them all off, though I suppose there (were) several burned up in her; there were a few loose benches on the deck, which were made use of by the passengers in saving themselves: the seats in the cabins were permanent; I should judge there were from 15 to 20 females on board; I saw a number of ladies leap overboard and some got upon a bench that was thrown over by a gentlemen.” But some of the passengers’ stories were a little different. Mr. William H. Yeaton was on board. The Philadelphia Ledger reported he was “very much exhausted, having been in the water over half an hour. He states that when the fire was discovered the greater part of the passengers rushed towards the bow of the boat, which became very much crowded. He supposed that there were a hundred, at least, onboard. Many jumped overboard at the first alarm, and he imagines that most of them were struck by the wheels of the boat. He remained on board until the flames became insupportable. He finally dived down as deep as he could urge himself, and succeeded in getting clear of the wheel, although as he was rising his hat was struck by one of the paddles. He then swam towards the shore, and succeeded in laying hold of the cutwater of a vessel. He called for help, and was thrown a rope, which he fastened in a loop around his

shoulders, and was drawn on board. He thinks that at least one-half of the passengers were killed by the paddle-wheels, burnt or drowned. There were several ladies on board.” James Ferguson, with several others, held on to the rudder chains as long as he could. Finally he decided to take his chances in the river, according to the March 17 New York Times. “I struck out towards the shore, but I did not know what shore, I was so bewildered. I swam until I was near the wharf, on which people were standing. I felt as if I was about to sink, when they cried out to me to not give up. This encouraged me. I made a fresh struggle, and succeeded in catching a rope. My strength was almost gone, but I hung on desperately, and was finally landed, some of my finger nails being torn off by my efforts to grasp the rope. I do not know what became of my companions who had held hold of the rudder-chains.” The Ledger had a reporter there almost immediately “Mr. Samuel Goverson, of this city, was on board with his wife and child, about fourteen months old; was separated from his wife when the fire was first discovered. He immediately made search for her; but, getting in the midst of the excited throng, was hurled overboard without obtaining any knowledge of the whereabouts of his wife and child, he was soon rescued, and, on reaching the wharf, he was overjoyed to hear that his wife had been saved and taken to the Weatherby Tavern, but the child was drowned. Its mother held on to it until exhaustion compelled her to relinquish her hold. “Mr. Nixon, of Camden, was on board with his wife and child, and both remained on the deck until their clothes took fire. Mrs. Nixon was considerable burnt. She states that when her husband was separated from her and forced overboard, his coat was all in a blaze. She had not seen or heard of him since.” The Times later followed up “Mrs. Nixon, wife of Warwaser Nixon, residing in Camden, was on board with her husband and little daughter. Her bonnet was burned off her head and a black silk dress and the under-clothing nearly all burned off her, her face, breast, arms, hands and one side are so terribly burned that her life is despaired of. She jumped overboard and was saved after sinking twice. Mrs. N. was taken to Bare’s Hotel, in Water Street above Race, where she was attended by Drs. Bournonville, Harper and Grace. Her daughter was saved and was with her mother yesterday. Mr. W. Nixon was beside her when she jumped, but after reaching the water lost him. He had not been heard of since.” Carson testified, “I passed the spot where the fire subsequently broke out; I saw no fire, nor did I smell any smoke; there was a sheet-iron case six or eight inches from the smoke stack, fastened to the wood work; I have been attached to the boat about five years, and never had any Continued on Page 54

Stockton Hosting ‘Jersey Shorecast;’ Seaport Does Same T he fast-oncoming summer season is the topic of talk at two locations next week. The Lloyd D. Levenson Institute of Gaming, Hospitality and Tourism (LIGHT) of the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey will again host its annual Jersey Shorecast on May 11 in Atlantic City. The Jersey Shorecast brings tourism experts from Stockton’s faculty together with representatives from the southern New Jersey hospitality and tourism industry. Separately, it’s Travel Rally Breakfast & Tourism Week at the Tuckerton Seaport, observed May 8 from 8 to 10 a.m. The Seaport wants others to, “Join us during National Travel and Tourism Week as members of the local community come together to share great food and great information on travel and tourism’s impact on the local economy.” The morning is held in partnership with the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce, the New Jersey Destination Marketing Organization and Ocean County Tourism. A buffet breakfast will be provided by ScoJo’s restaurant. Please let Seaport staff know if you are attending by e-mailing to BrookeS@TuckertonSeaport.org. Then, occurring later in the week, the Stockton-hosted Jersey Shorecast is described as a “much-anticipated insider’s look at the summer tourism season.” It will take place on Friday, May 11 from 8:30-10 a.m. at the Carnegie Center, corner of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. and Paciﬁc Avenue in Atlantic City. It is free and open to the public, but registration by phone or e-mail is required and space is limited. Register by email at light@stockton.edu or by calling 609-347-2175. The Shorecast panelists will offer their perspectives on several questions that are critical to the success of Jersey Shore area businesses: “Will day-trippers, vacationers and

gamblers make it a banner summer season? How will gas prices affect things? What role will the new Revel Hotel and Casino have on the overall tourism market?” The panelists will include Jeffery Vasser, president, Atlantic City Convention and Visitors Bureau; Vicki Clark, president, Cape May Chamber of Commerce; Joe Kelly, president, Greater Atlantic City Chamber of Commerce; Lori Pepenella, director, Destination Marketing, Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce; Dr. Oliver Cooke, associate professor of economics, Stockton College; Dr. Brian Tyrrell, associate professor of Hospitality and Tourism Management Studies, Stockton College; Dr. Michael Busler, associate professor of business, Stockton College. Pepenella is the northernmost representative among those invited on the panel.

Pacific coast of the early 20th century. The winning design features a signature entry tower leading to a foyer and a sun porch on the upper level, offering sunset views from the living room. A spiral staircase leads to the roof deck with panoramic views of the ocean, bay and lighthouse. Additions include a new master bedroom suite and embellished public spaces to form a unique destination for the extended family and friends. The kitchen was moved to a new addition in an optimal location for early sunrise illumination, ocean views and breezes. A craftsman-style staircase leads down to the four bedrooms and new family room. Renovated wraparound decks reinforce the craftsman imagery with Spanish cedar guardrails. Additions to the home are completed with a new outside stairwell, and exterior shower stalls to support life centered on enjoyment of the beach and ocean. As a sustainable design project, the home uses cement fiber siding, high-efficiency windows and doors, shading and screening devices to create a new image with an historical flair. Other environmentally friendly upgrades include high-efficiency HVAC equipment, sprayed closed cell urethane insulation, Energy Star® appliances, dual flush toilets, low v.o.c. interior finishes, and hypo-allergenic electronic filters. * * * Soroptimist Wine Social/Auction Raises Significant Donations The annual Wine Social & Auction of the Soroptimist International of Long Beach Island is an example of fundraising alive and well and supporting the entire community. A

generous $25,843 in net proceeds was raised to be donated to a variety of organizations. The annual fundraiser was held Friday, April 27 at The Stateroom in Ship Bottom. After years of holding the night at the Brant Beach Yacht Club, continual sellouts led to the need for a larger venue, organizers said. The motto of the international organization is, “Improving the lives of women and girls in local communities and throughout the world.” At the 2012 dinner, donations totaling $14,750 were announced that were made possible through proceeds from 2011 fundraising. Beneﬁciaries are: Barnegat High School Scholarship, $1,000; Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ocean County, $500; Club Service Project, $1,000; Family Promise, $500; Girl Scouts of Ocean County, $1,000; Interfaith and Support Services, $500; Japanese Relief Fund, $1,000; Oceans Harbor House, $500; Pinelands Regional High School Scholarship, $1,000; Providence House, $500; Soroptimist International President’s Appeal, $1,000; Southern Regional High School Scholarship, $1,000; St. Francis Sexual Abuse Program, $500; St. Francis Counseling, $500; The Promise, $500; Violet Richardson Award, $250; SOMC Women’s Health Night, $2,500; Women’s Opportunity Award, $1,000. * * * Summer Events Get a Boost from Chamber The Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce announced funding awards to support six local programs this summer.

GREEN MEANS GO: Team Surf Unlimited scopes out the swells at the Oakley Surf Shop Challenge in Seaside Heights in April, marking the ﬁrst year the Ship Bottom shop participated.

ere’s your indication that we’re really into some springtime: The Chicken or the Egg opened up last Wednesday for its 21st season. What a scene it was down there. It was more exciting than that crazy space ship that seems to have landed on 13th Street in Ship Bottom. With LBI not looking too much different than it did in the heart of January, you really couldn’t miss the hundreds of people streaming in and out of the Chegg. Things were hopping when they opened the door at 7 a.m – “Ludicrous,” as their hottest sauce implies. And owner Mark Cohen didn’t sit down until the wee hours of Thursday morning. Everyone, local or visitor, knows the Chegg. It’s got killer breakfast, great value for families

and, of course, it’s a tradition when the bars spill out at 2 a.m. It’s also a go-to spot every other Thursday morning in October when folks from North Jersey or Pennsylvania have to come to municipal court in Beach Haven for all those public urination citations they got in the summer. Nothing like Peanutbuttercup Pancakes and Douwe Eggbert’s coffee after paying Judge Sicheri that $700 fine. Did you know there’s actually a law firm in Freehold that promotes itself as “Experienced Long Beach Island Urinating in Public Attorneys”? Now that is an admirable reason to get your law degree. This is kind of making me have to pee. Now where was I? Oh yeah – Chegg, open Wednesday through Saturday and pretty soon, it will be 24/7madness. This little sign of spring is a fairly isolated one. With the La Niña pattern officially over, we’re back to standard April weather on LBI, complete with cold rain and chilling winds. Guess there’s no way New Jersey could just cruise right into Memorial Day without those last jabs of winter. But at least we’re back in the wave game. The first relief we had came on Wednesday, April 18, courtesy of a storm out in the ocean. Once again, this was mostly surfed on the South End of the Island. There were 20 heads at one particular break by 7 a.m., but there were chestto head-high lefts on offer with sets swinging just wide of the jetty and offering a sweet bowl for the takeoff. The following day was waist- to stomach-high with long lefts at another favorite spot down south. Sunday, April 22’s, rains that came straight out of the Old Testament were part of a healthy coastal storm that set up our first solid swell in some time. But as has happened so many times this year, LBI got shafted. I got reports from locals who went north and surfed Seaside Heights, Bay Head, Manasquan, Belmar, Spring Lake, Loch Arbor, Deal, Long Branch and even Cape Cod. The reality of it was that the winds stayed southwest, and occasionally south/ southwest, which is a devil wind here for our southeast-facing beaches. Monday evening saw long, overhead, peeling waves up in Monmouth County (it was sooooo good) while our Island was unrideable. Frankly, I don’t know what’s more disheartening, this type of south-wind events or the fact that on so many swells these days, the South End Continued on Page 55

Fishing Continued from Page 48 of dogfish to make a barroom snack. Hey, with the strength of their beer, anything will pass muster as snacks. I was a tad shocked to read that even the small fins of dogfish are shark fin soup worthy. However, the growing intolerance toward any and all shark finning has soured the public’s appetite and attitude toward even the legal loping off of shark fins. Currently, commercial fishermen want to be allowed to quickly remove the fins off of legally harvested dogfish, currently prohibited. Damn right they should be able to. It’s a highly commendable utilization of the entire legal fish. OK, so the trick is being able to document the entire journey of the fins from fish to soup fare. It’s doable. ARTIFICIAL FUN IN THE SUN: I managed a decently long, surf-plugging session over the weekend, sneaking off when the work forces that bind me were looking the other way. I finally got to swim a slew of vintage plugs I’ve snagged recently at auctions and garage sales. An essential part of vintage plug collecting is casing them out and watching them strut their stuff, preferably when there’s only the slightest chance of them actually getting hit upon. Look but don’t touch, fish. Surely the best way to watch a plug doing its assigned sashay and swaggle is while casting from atop a high jetty, providing you have a clean exit point. Smashing a plug across barnacleencrusted granite rocks at retrieve’s end is not the best way to return a prime plug back to storage. A number of the ancient artificials I threw were feeling the water for maybe the first time in 50 years, or way more. And it doesn’t take long to appreciate the in-water insights the plugproducing folks had back in the day. The action of even archaic lures is often saucy and tempting – by any timeframe standards. I actually got some minor hook-up action (two small bass landed and a couple unidentified swipes) when I switched from swimming plugs to slow-go bottom artificials, including a couple tin squids I had traditionally rigged with plastic eels.

Continued from Page 45 idea of danger from the boat taking fire; there was a horse and wagon on board; I suppose the horse perished in the flames; the owner of the wagon, a Mr. Shade, was saved; his wife and child were lost; the fireman was named Jester; he was injured, and is now over at Camden.” But The Times on March 17 printed some disturbing news. “Nothing definite is yet known as to the number of lives lost. … The boat belonged to the Philadelphia and Camden Ferry Company. The loss of life is chiefly owing to the neglect of the Company to furnish the boat with small boats and life preservers, not one of either being on board.” The ferry company was connected with the Camden and Amboy Railroad, whose president was a war hero who had helped conquer California and had been elected a United States senator. In 1856, he had his eyes on the White House. Robert F. Stockton didn’t want a scandal. Y Next Week: The investigation, Jersey style. tpfcjf@comcast.net

Seismic Testing Continued from Page 42 draft environmental impact statement’s assessment of collateral damage to marine mammals during the seismic studies. “You are proposing to allow the most outrageous impacts on marine mammals. “The ﬁshing industry is held to zero tolerance. Yet you and your department can nuke every whale into oblivion, and nobody is sent to close you down. Why can Big Oil kill anything it wants? Where is NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) in all this?” Laugren asked. Capt. Joel Fogel from Water Watch International said it had been his privilege to dive with the late oceanographer Jacques Cousteau. “This is what he said to me: ‘Never forget, your mother

I left the beach at dark, well rested, despite fairly frantic nonstop casting. We all know the now-boring adage “A bad day fishing is better than a good day at work.” Hey, truth be told, I kinda like work. For me, the saying should say that even a bad day plugging is better than a decent day bait fishing. I thought maybe that thinking was just a typical eccentricity on my part, considering my life is a series of eccentricities punctuated with occasional afternoon naps and lengthy explanations to law enforcement officials – those overly officious types who inexplicably demand an explanation as to why I’m trying to cross the Big Bridge while hanging off the outside of the railing, looking down at the water below. “Uh, the view?” As for my obsession with plugging, turns out I’m not alone. Just last week I ran into the verbalizing spirit of my writing/fishing mentor, Dick Clements. He spoke from beyond: “Once upon a time I used to catch fish with a baited hook, and I had a lot of fun, too. But then one day it happened. I caught a fish on an artificial lure, and my bait-fishing days were over. “Until you experienced the solid smack that a game fish gives a trolled or cast lure, why man, you haven’t been fishing yet. There’s just something about it that spoils you for still fishing. …” That “beyond” came via a 1951 story in The Beachcomber I found in storage. TATA TO TOG: Tog fishing ended Monday. The spring winds played havoc with boat anglers dedicatedly chasing after better blackies on nearshore wrecks and reefs. I did get a couple reports about quite keepable tog being taken off the South Jetty in BL. I even made a stop-by thereabouts – and wished I hadn’t. Some scofflaw types were at it (again), including poachers utilizing the catch-and-walk method of zipping doubtful-sized fish back to coolers in parked vehicles. The weird part is that method stands out like an Asian sore thumb should Fish and Game officers be hawking about. As oft noted in here, I’m fully and forever out of the freeform enforcer business. I tried it for years to help the fishing regs along and nothing pretty or constructive came of it. This is not to say I saw blatant blackfish abuse

on the BL jetty. However, I got an earful from a local who keeps a far closer eye on such abusive fishing and he says it’s rampant. Be advised: There is no keeping of ANY tog until July 26; that includes spearfishing. BLUEFISH BONES BEYOND: I went up to Chatsworth to do some railroad-related treasure hunting – along the still-there rails used by the famed Blue Comet train. Right after I took the turn off from Route 72 toward town, I saw a whole pile of bluefish carcasses piled on the side of the road. Not to worry. They had been fully – and fairly impressively – filleted to the bare bone. No waste there whatsoever. Why they made it that far from the shore before being jettisoned is worth a guess: The nutrient-rich carcasses were garden bound but must have gotten further along, ripeness-wise, than the garden buff had expected. Another roadside attraction. COOL ASPHALT LESSON: Ship Bottom has gotten quite smooth. Santana guitar lick in the background, please. That’s the motoring feel when coming off the Causeway and lighting upon the newly asphalted road surfaces atop the borough’s sections of 8th and 9th streets, and Central and Barnegat avenues. Quite an impressive lay down – but an odd harbinger of the blisterings to come. Just wait until we get a couple 100-degree days and certain newbies try to barefoot to the beach across those pitch-black roadways. I have taken temperatures of 135 degrees on LBI road surfaces in summer. That’s the temperature when skin get boily and burny – and tells you so: “Hey, numbnuts, it’s getting pretty frickin’ hot down here. I knew we should have never left

Recognizing the need to help local events thrive, the chamber of commerce created a funding committee three years ago to ﬁeld, review and make recommendations to the chamber board to sponsor local programming, events and activities. Funding requests can be submitted by downloading the form on the visitLBIregion.com website, under the chamber section. The Funding Review Committee meets three times a year to discuss proposals that help forward the mission of the near century-old regional business institution. Funding for the awards comes from money raised by Chowderfest and other chamber activities.

Barnegat Light, meanwhile, collects fishing line, nets and other angling-related materials at the public works yard at 10 West 10th St., which is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. from 3 p.m. Fishing line receptacles can be found throughout the other Island municipalities as well, including at Fisherman’s Headquarters in Ship Bottom, among others. Contact each municipality directly to find the nearest monofilament fishing line recycling collection sites. Individuals can also volunteer to install and maintain a monofilament recycling location, which includes keeping track of the amount of monofilament collected and sending the line to Berkeley. BoatU.S. provides pre-made outdoor recycling bins and some funding to cover installation materials. Priority selection will be based on geographic distribution, demonstrated fishing demand and level of volunteer commitment to maintain the bins for at least two years.

is the sea. She gives you oxygen, water, ﬁsh. Treat her with respect.” “I was diving with Falco while they were doing some early seismic tests and this is what it sounded like: “BOOM!” he shouted into the microphone. “It gave me the worst ice cream headache you can imagine.” Fogel said the BP oil rig explosion and the ensuing devastation to the Gulf of Mexico, should be enough to turn the country away from oil drilling in the Atlantic. ‘It’s time to work toward renewable resources: wind, sun and wave energy. Don’t be suckered by people who don’t have the best interests of the people in mind.” John Weber of Surfrider Foundation said, “If all the oil from offshore was available now, it would lower the price at the pump by 3 cents, 20 years from now. Clearly this is not the answer. And the harmful effects are well established.” Weber asked those in attendance to imagine

they were a dolphin or whale in the area of the air guns. “The noise is as if you lit a stick of dynamite in your neighborhood but it goes on continuously for weeks on end. The only thing similar to it is warfare. “A few years ago, Surfrider held a Hands Across the Sands to oppose deepwater drilling in the Atlantic. Hundreds of thousands joined hands across the country just to show their opposition. Don’t think there is not a mass of people out there opposed to this.” He urged people to go to his website, nottheanswer.org.

Business

Cherry Hill.” In fact, prolonged treading upon a mere 120-degree asphalt (a near daily high in summer) can clandestinely blister foot-bottom skin before you reach the beach. From the “Little Known Remembrances” files: As recently as the 1960s, the Island’s roads, even the larger ones, were concrete, often bleached white from years of solar beat-downs. A few side streets in Surf City still have that bright look. Back in those days, hoofing to the beach, sans foot covering, was an easier go. Asphalt has now oozed in and the heat absorbing blackness has blistering written all over it. Wanna become a millionaire? Develop white asphalt. Some semi-fascinating, road-making notes: Asphalt is often called macadam. However, macadam is actually a road-building technique, devised by none other than John McAdam, as in macadam. Back in the early 1800s, John railed against the trend to build roads by stacking rocks atop rocks atop rocks. His studies proved that simple dirt roads were an ideal subsurface, provided they were covered with an impervious material to keep the rain out. McAdam’s roads only needed a mere three inches of covering material atop everyday dirt. Freakiness alert. The smallish rocks McAdam put atop his everyday dirt roads were strictly sized for proper layering. An utterly indispensable workman was the mouther. He would test a batch of stones for size based on (gospel truth) how many he could put in his mouth. “So what’s the mouth count on this batch of stones, Bramwell?” “Garble, Garble, Garble.” “Confound it, Bramwell, you take the stones outta your mouth to count ’em.” When we learn how to go back in time, most everyone will rush to the really big things of the past. I will first be taking a moment out to watch a mouther in action. But there’s more to this roadish history lesson. It was Edgar Hooley who brought tar to McAdam’s macadam method. Not much on catchy terms, Hooley called his creation tarmac – as in tar and mac(adam). Both tarmac and macadam were eventually one-upped by asphaltum, a gooey black stuff associated with raw oil. Quite coolly, the first users of asphalt were Native Americans living along our West Coast – thus the insane complex of long highways out there. Not really. Back in the 1200s and before, the Tongva, Luiseno and Chumash peoples freely collected the black goo seeping from subterranean petroleum deposits. They actually didn’t have a word for it. They just held up a black hand and everyone knew. The asphalt nations used (hold a black hand up in the air) to cover vases, tools, canoes, ceremonial things and they weren’t beyond throwing huge gobs of it at any attacking tribes. “What the …?! Oh, crap, I just bought this stinkin’ war suit. Anybody got some acetone? Son of a …” Anyway, what we have nowadays – and offering silky smooth riding for the short run – is technically asphalt concrete. Historically, it took a long time getting here. Now let’s see what the flooding gods have to say about it. CLOUD CLOUDS: Sorry some folks are having a time of it finding the “Fish Story” on The SandPaper’s new cyber space. First off, the easiest way to get to the hot new SandPaper website is to simply type thesandpaper.net on the address line. If you prefer, go to Google and type thesandpaper.net or even just the word sandpaper. Once aboard the site, you can go to the top of the SP homepage and click on the little “Columns” box. You can also stay on the home page and cursor way down the page and look for “Columns” on the left side of the page. I’m also alive and well (and exclusive) at my blog site http://jaymanntoday.ning.com, or Google jay mann today. For those who frequented my website jaymann at webspawner, that site is down indefinitely. By the by, my SandPaper cloud column allows for tasteful comments and reports. I may use the comments and reports in the following week’s SandPaper, including the hardcopy, which hits the streets in good old paper form. Y jaymann@thesandpaper.net

Continued from Page 52 is the only option. I’m not sure if it’s been the swell angles, prominent jetties being sacrificed to beach replenishment, or simply natural sand deposits, but without good features to set up sand, most of the Island has stunk worse than a yellow pool under a Beach Haven Dumpster. Things finally cleaned up for LBI by Wednesday morning. Again, the South End had peelers while Surf City was just a lurching peak. There were a few tubes if you could get to your feet on time, but there was absolutely no shoulder. Then, in the ultimate insult to injury, the wind went south again by mid-morning. But just when you started thinking we couldn’t catch a break, the wind went back offshore again that evening for a super-fun cleanup. Since then, it’s been back to nada. I have made mention several times in this column of surfer/craftsman Randy Budd of Pine Knot Surfboards teaching weekend alaiabuilding classes at the Tuckerton Seaport. I got word last weekend that he was holding one such class just for women. I swung by to check it out and found six ladies with their heads down, all completely absorbed in making replicas of ancient Hawaiian wave craft. The ladies were from 14 years old to 55, from north and south of LBI, and you couldn’t pull them away from those planes, jigsaws and sanders. The whole thing was very cool, and Budd promised to have more such classes for both sexes; even just meeting the girls of all different ages has been fun. “I’m making this for my children and my grandchildren,” said Kathleen Craven of Tuckerton, a member of the Seaport, as she was sanding away. The last few weeks have been very good ones for LBI in the competitive realm. Things kicked off with the Oakley Surf Shop Challenge on Friday, April 20. Now, in the past, LBI hasn’t had the best representation at these events. Team Farias has competed once or twice and the Surf Shack may have had a squad back in the day. But this year, Farias had two teams. Surf Unlimited also sent a team for the first time. LBI has always been rich in surf heritage, so it’s good to see the shops actually getting behind their team riders now. Unfortunately, due to school and other commitments, a few key team riders had to miss the event. But Surf Unlimited still fielded a team of Ryan Kelly, Chris Kretzer, Joe Marzullo and Shawn Dodds (aka Team Dad.) It should be noted that Heritage Surf Shop has won this event for the last three years. They usually enter two teams, and their top guys are pro surfers. I’m not implying anything unfair or underhanded about this, but the Ocean City region just has a very good structure for competitive surfing that is supported by the schools, the shops, parents and the towns. They went on to win their fourth in a row, but they narrowly beat Farias’. Our local boys Royce Weber, Conor Willem, Tanner Panetta and Brian Bowker surfed really well. Willem had an 8.3 for a two-turn burner left that was the highest score of the contest. Coming down to the wire, Farias’ had young Panetta of Ship Bottom in the water, and it was announced he needed a 6.9. “I actually found out later that the judges had made a calculation mistake. All I really needed was a 5.9,” said Panetta. “But I just wanted one of those set waves.” The set never really materialized, and the boys fell just short, 30.24-27.61. “I’m so proud of them,” said Farias’ shop manager Jesse Westmacott. “We’re finally seeing the local talent where it should be.” The following day, Randy Townsend, LBI’s only pro (that’s just one hat he wears), went up to Seaside and slayed the Arnette Cash Pot event to take home $500. This wasn’t a team thing, but there was certainly plenty of talent. Ortley surfer Clay Pollioni took second place, Ocean City’s Rob Kelly took third, and Surf City’s Conor Willem took fourth. Not a bad couple of days for Conor. The Eastern Surfing Association Central New Jersey’s season is under way …sorta. The new ESA director, our own Pat “Surfcat” Emery, sent me the schedule for this year. I say “sorta” under way because they should be in the third event of the year right now, but the waves have cooperated to run only one contest as of yet. Emery and the ESA standouts were up in New Hampshire for the Northeast Regionals. Unfortunately, the surf didn’t look too promis-

Continued from Page 33 “Most of the kids I’ve seen get really injured were just goofing around somewhere, maybe drinking or not wearing helmets. You go to Raceway Park where hundreds of drivers ride in a day, and maybe (you) see some minor injuries. The real injuries happen in a sand pit out in the woods with 10 people or so racing. It’s mostly irresponsibility.” Dellane concurred that it all comes down to safety and preparation. “ATV riders should exercise extreme caution when operating an ATV,” said Dellane. “They should be familiar with the terrain and layout of the areas they are riding in. Most important is to utilize all available safety devices and to always wear a DOT-approved helmet and face shield.” Y michaelmolinaro@thesandpaper.net

ing for them. Once the regionals are over, the season resumes straight away with events in Seaside Heights and Loch Arbor. Then, as in the past few years, we get into the LBI Triple Crown, sponsored by Surf Unlimited. The Triple Crown is three events throughout the first half of the summer all held at 122nd Street in Long Beach Township. These will be regular season events, but an overall Triple Crown winner will be determined for the top finishers. The first one is slated for May 12 or 13. As with all ESA events, the better of the two days is picked ahead of time. In the “people doing good things” department, ALO ran its spring Beach Cleanup on Sunday, April 22, during the aforementioned opening of the heavens. “We had a successful cleanup, despite the amazingly bad weather,” reported ALO’s executive director, Chris Huch. “Overall, we had over 50 people participate on the day of the cleanup with a few dozen opting to clean up on other days. We had three stand-up paddlers go out, including (renowned distance paddler) Margo Pellegrino. They ended up collecting the most trash on some of the bay islands and bay beaches. They also let me know that there is so much more to clean. We are now planning on having some sort of SUP cleanup event either during early summer or fall.” Hopefully a few more folks can really get the rest of the crap out of our bay. Since I’ve been keeping a running log of our water temperature these last few columns, I might as well keep it up. Back in March, the water hit an unprecedented 53 degrees. Since then, it has dipped, risen again, and we’re basically where we were a month ago. Wonderful. The Surf Shack is now empty and has closed its doors. Donny Miller assures us that the Surf Shack South is now open on weekends in Bay Village, Beach Haven, and will be gearing up for a full summer of Skim Series, movie premieres, Flow House nights, skate demos and ALO events. They can be found at surfshacksouth.blogspot. com. The Surf Shack building in Ship Bottom (including the three-bedroom house) is still for sale. As for other upcoming events, this isn’t really a surf happening, but David’s Dream & Believe Cancer Foundation has been very supportive of the surf community here, so it might not be a bad idea to support Cruisin’ For A Cure, sponsored by Jetty. It’s a motorcycle and classic car ride from the Barnegat Township Municipal Dock to Longshots Restaurant and Bar in Waretown on Sunday, May 6. Longshots will have a buffet and music. And as per all DDBCF events, the money goes to local families fighting cancer. And speaking of local, Forked River’s Bill Kretzer is getting back into the game of mowing foam, this time at Surf Unlimited in Ship Bottom, where people can watch him shape. You can order your own custom board and watch it get shaped right there. I can just hear it now: Hey Bill, what’s with those rails? That thing won’t float me. And make sure you do a single to double concave. It helps me project down the line for airs … Actually, I think it will be very cool for kids to see boards being hand-shaped right here. It’s good to feel connected to things we buy. “We’re getting the windows open to the viewing room this week and retrofitting the garage over the next two or three weeks,” said owner George Gahles. “Local built, local sold, local waves.” There you have it.
