May the Best Man Win? Or Will The Nastiest Man Be President? By LARRY SAVADOVE or a brief moment there, I was getting really excited. It was when presidential candidate Mitt Romney announced that Sen. Paul Ryan would be his running mate. It’s not that I am such a political junkie, but with the Olympics over I was worried about what there would be to watch on television. Golf is about as exciting a spectator sport as Marco Polo, tennis without the Williams sisters is as pointless as paddleball, the football season doesn’t start until September, and in baseball we’re presented with a sure thing and a sure nothing. There was nothing to look forward to but the deluge of undocumented drivel we’d have to wade through until the election – Mrs. Romney’s horses, Mrs. Obama’s garden, Mr. Romney’s tax returns, Mr. Obama’s birth certiﬁcate – and unreal reality shows. I decided to read Moby Dick again, this time rooting for the whale and

Inconvenient Banking To the Editor: I was astonished to hear that the Beach Haven branch ofﬁce of Bank of America is closing. I am in BOA at least once a week, and there are plenty of customers, at the ATM, at the drive up and in the bank, so it can’t be for lack of customers. Yes, even in the winter the branch is busy because many business accounts who are open all year are at this end of the Island. I have to maintain a certain balance at BOA to have “free” checking. I have to spend the gas and ﬁnd the time to travel to Ship Bottom in order to “give” Bank of America my money. Getting to Ship Bottom will be no easy feat in the summer. I’m sure this move saves BOA money (God knows, it needs the money), but it is an inconvenience to the customers. I guess I should be thankful – if I inconvenience myself and save BOA money, maybe I will see a higher interest rate. LOL. So why shouldn’t I bank at TD? Mary Ann Hovan Beach Haven Continued on Page 12

having another beer whenever somebody said, “Thar she blows.” Then Romney tabbed Ryan and suddenly it looked as if there could be a real fight this time, not just another tired slugfest. Ryan had a real position on how to run a government and an already published plan you could pick apart and study. Obama is pushing the plan he thought he’d been elected to enact, of which the healthcare part is already being tested. Hallelujah, I thought. Here’s the chance to have a real debate, thoughtful discussions that go beyond “Just say no.” No more phony “facts,” personal attacks, made-up statistics, sniggering innuendos. After all, these guys are all grown-up, intelligent, educated men whose patriotism is beyond question, whose bank accounts are comfortable enough not to worry about them and who genuinely want the chance to prove their way is best. It sounded ideal. Political pundits cheered, and we the people settled in to listen and learn. “The best foundation for a true democracy is an informed electorate.” The Founding Fathers would applaud. Alas, it was not to be. When the idea got back to both party headquarters, it was shot dead quicker than a fox in a henhouse. “OK,” whispered the political managers to their respective candidates, “you’re right – rational debate, logical thinking, the careful weighing of pros and cons. You’re a noble leader; you will do wonderful things when you’re elected. You will be remembered and envied and honored … but first you have to get elected.” In this country, it seems – make that, it has been proven – that to get elected, to get enough people to listen to you and believe you enough to turn out and vote for you, you have to forget reason, logic and certainly nobility and play rough. We may deplore and decry the lying and name-calling and mud-flinging, but in the end, they work. It is sobering to realize that the person who will lead our country, maybe the world, will be the one with the nastier campaign; the last man standing wins, but most of us come away with an uneasy feeling. During a presidential race a few years ago I saw a bumper sticker that read “The lesser of two evils is still evil.” Continued on Page 18

Branch Closings: Pain of Withdrawal By HERBERT L. SHAPIRO was saddened to read in the July 25 issue of The SandPaper that the Bank of America has decided to close its Beach Haven and Barnegat Light branches at the tail end of this year’s tourist season. The history of the Bank of America arriving on Long Beach Island began in 1978. I was chairman of the board of Bay State Bank in Ship Bottom and we had recently been cleared by the New Jersey Superior Court and allowed to open for business. This was after a three-year court ﬁght instigated by the old Beach Haven National Bank. Its intention was to prevent us from acting upon the award of a charter to operate a full commercial bank by the New Jersey Department of Banking. Jack F. McCarthy Jr. of Princeton, who unfortunately passed away earlier this summer, was

Straddling the Ocean’s Edge With Eyes Wide Open By BRIAN MOLONEY y wife, Z, and I have been making the trek to LBI to the same house, on the same street, a few steps from the same beach in Peahala Park every July, going on nearly 20 years. I know, to a lot of you that’s means we’re still just Island neophytes, but it also means we’ve seen a lot of the same kids grow up from toddlers to teens to parents themselves, right there on that sandy strip of Island magic. This is despite the fact that that none of the stores sell, let alone feature, Peahala Park T-shirts, sweatshirts or caps – not even an ashtray. What’s up with that? But I digress. One thing I’ve learned over all this time is that every vacation develops a rhythm of its own choosing, much different than the everyday rhythms we’re accustomed to. The

sooner you discover that rhythm and begin to step in time to it, the sooner you’re able to let yourself go wherever the music wants to take you. As usual, Z and I found our rhythm in the ebb and ﬂow of the ocean tide as it ﬂowed and ebbed up onto the shore and over our sometimes sandy toes. A sort of intrinsic, internal clock always tells us when it’s time to head to the beach

– mostly early morning, a couple of hours after dawn – where we park our chairs, spread our towels and stake our umbrellas around a section of sand, because we don’t like a lot of wave-washed people tracking their sandy toes on our non-sandy blankets. We began most every morning in this same

way, alone, ahead of most others, then immediately took off up the beach, straddling the ocean’s edge, a half hour or so up, and a half hour or so back. There’s a lot to be learned along the ocean’s edge, not the least of which is you can develop an ugly blood blister on your big toe if you’re not careful. At the time of this year’s visit, there was a nasty heat wave going on back home, but the magic of the ocean breeze kept all that heat at bay, especially at that hour of the morning with the sun still reﬂecting long off the water. Anne Morrow Lindbergh wrote a beautiful book in the 1950s called Gift From the Sea, in which she reﬂects on the various sea shells that are delivered to her spot on the beach every morning. Each item held meaning to her and delivered a message about life Continued on Page 16

our guiding attorney throughout that frustrating period. Our philosophy at that time called for us to act as the local, small-town bank that was committed to catering to the individual needs of the local community. We opened for business in a small trailer placed on the site we had purchased in Ship Bottom, the entire block between 15th and 16th streets fronting on Long Beach Boulevard. We had a good representative board of directors made up of local business people and one of our local doctors and we instantly became a factor in the banking business on Long Beach Island. Not long after opening we started construction on the building in Ship Bottom that will now be the remaining remnant of Bank of America on the Island. As chairman, my intention was to grow the entire trading area, Long Beach Island from tip to tip, and the adjacent Stafford Township mainland in terms of local banking. By the early 1980s, Bay State Bank had grown so rapidly that we were ready to explore the opening of our ﬁrst branch. We decided to go head to head with the old Beach Haven National Bank and open in the borough of Beach Haven. A closed gasoline station was for sale at Fourth Street and Bay Avenue, the site of the present Bank of America branch that will be shuttered. Afraid that the seller would raise the asking price if it were known that a bank was interested in the site, I personally entered into a sales contract with the seller, a national retail gasoline company, and shortly after assigned the contract to Bay State Bank. Our Beach Haven branch was built and immediately became successful, and we looked elsewhere on the Island to open other branches to meet the needs of the north end communities of Harvey Cedars and Barnegat Light. While our board was extremely conservative, we had an advantage that big city banks didn’t have – we personally knew most of our Continued on Page 8

Continued from Page 6 commercial borrowers. With this in mind, it was much easier for the board to understand their ﬁnancial requirements to run businesses proﬁtably over a short, three-month season. This also enabled the borrower to survive for the remaining hard nine months. We opened our branch in Harvey Cedars (closed sometime after Bay State was bought by Summit Bank) and proceeded with our application to the State Banking Department to open a branch in Barnegat Light, stressing the convenience it would provide for Barnegat Light residents. Permission was received from the state and we opened sometime after the mid-1980s. I remember riding in a convertible touring car owned by one of the Montgomery brothers, residents of Barnegat Light, at the opening day celebration. In 1988, Bay State was approached by the Summit Bank with a takeover deal that was overwhelmingly approved by our 500 stockholders. Larger banks absorbing smaller local banks became commonplace, and soon Summit was acquired by the New Jersey Bank, a bigger institution. Not only did it take over Summit, but New Jersey Bank immediately changed its own name to Summit. The new Summit sold out to Fleet, and Fleet eventually merged with the current Bank of America.

While our board was extremely conservative, we had an advantage that big city banks didn’t have – we personally knew most of our commercial borrowers.

And in this history of Bay State Bank, a small bank created for the benefit of merchants and inhabitants of Long Beach Island, we see not only a reflection of how the banking industry has worked across America with independent banks being absorbed by larger banks, but also an imprimatur of how important and valuable the small bank was from the start. It was the usefulness and assistance it provided locally that attracted the larger banks. As we know, with the inflated mortgage bubble of 2008, brought on by the banks themselves, and the ensuing recession, Bank of America suffered along with other lending institutions. It is regretful that the Bank of America will close both branches this fall. The residents and businesses of Beach Haven will not suffer as much as Barnegat Light because they will still have a lending institution in the borough. But in the cycle of life, business and banking, the hope is that a bold and farsighted bank will see the need for a branch at the north end of the Island in the near future. Y Herbert L.

THANK YOU FOR A GREAT SUMMER OPEN 10AM TO 5PM THROUGH LABOR DAY ONLY

The SandPaper/Wednesday, August 29, 2012

Walkway to Heaven By LARRY CLAY uring the last few weeks, the editorial pages of The SandPaper have brought attention to a tradition that has thrived in the north end of Surf City for nearly 40 years. Every Independence Day since the early ’70s, without fail, the beachgoers of 23rd Street and the surrounding beaches have been treated to a celebration that has included races, pie-eating contests, a tug-of-war, and then hot dogs and ice cream just across the walkway, over the dunes, on the downstairs deck of the Clay house. As a small child, I took part in the celebration every year, along with my brothers and sisters. As I got older, I helped out. My nieces and nephews and my own children enjoyed the races through the years. Despite all the great things my father has done in his life, to me as a little boy, the Fourth of July races were the coolest. I was impressed at how he pulled it all together and what a hit it always was. I was proud that my father was behind this, that he did this for us and for our friends and dozens and dozens of complete strangers. The Fourth of July celebration on the Surf City beach was the creation of one man, Alvin Clay. He kept this tradition going strong until the torch was passed to our neighbors a few years back. But I am not writing here to tell you about the races. I write today about the man. The races are simply a window into his big, warm heart. My dad, Alvin A. Clay, dean emeritus of the Business School of Villanova University, loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and long-time summer

He was a fixture on the local beach scene during the last 40 years. resident of Surf City, passed into eternal life on Sunday, July 22, 2012. Dad was born and raised in Springfield, Pa. He was always the man of the house, his own father having passed when Dad was only a year old. He held a job since the age of 10, handing much of what he earned to his mother. It was the Depression, the money was needed, and, well, that is just how my father always was. He worked hard and he got a break when his employer, MAB Paints, provided him a scholarship to attend Villanova University. Shortly after graduating, he returned to Villanova to serve for 40 years as teacher and then dean. So many friends and strangers have shared stories, especially in the last few weeks, about how he interceded in academic, financial and personal crises simply because he saw something in them. He was willing to take a chance on them. He was truly generous, but also humble. We learned about his generosity from others – never from him.

This is not to say he was a shy man. If you frequented the northern parts of Surf City’s beaches in the last 40 years it is likely that you have at least once or twice found yourself talking to Al Clay. He would brag, but not about his successes. The ﬁrst thing he would tell you was how many children and grandchildren he had, how successful they were and how fortunate he was to have the beautiful, loving wife that he did. Dad’s love and generosity for us, his family, were clear to anyone who knew him. He expressed this in many ways, but none quite so dramatic as when he realized his dream of providing a place where his 10 children and 36 grandchildren could gather regularly to share his love for the sea and the shore and one another. The fruits of this particular labor have been signiﬁcant and lasting. My parents, my siblings and I have forged lifelong friendships on Long Beach Island. The hundreds who traveled great distances to offer their

condolences and to share our grief were a poignant reminder of the depth to which our lives are intertwined with Surf City. There are a handful of us who are still avid surfers. It has dawned on me lately that my love for the ocean is itself a gift from my father. Dad loved the sea. He taught us to love it and to respect it. The sea taught us how to be humble, as Dad was. But there is another side to the sea. It is a place for retreat and repose. It is a place for healing. He used to tell us when we came to him with a cut on hand or foot to go into the ocean, to get some salt water on it. And the shore is the place where when the world punishes us without relent, we can ﬁnd mercy. I borrowed heavily from my siblings in this writing. I hope I have held true to their sentiments. My sister was among the letter writers in The SandPaper of late, and her letter was titled “End of an Era.” How true! I don’t know what next Fourth of July will feel like to me, but I will surely be thinking of Dad. I will think of his generosity and his humility, his bold personality, his love of the sea, and the many magical summers he had given me. His parting was that of a great spirit. We all felt it deep inside and all around us. My younger brother closed his remembrances at the Mass with the following: “In the ﬁnal days before Dad left us, dark, oppressive clouds gathered above the Surf City home, the sea turned the color of slate, and seemed to swell to three times its size. The wind howled and pushed against the house and through the windows, slammed doors along the way, and the beach was empty. On his last day, Sunday, the morning light shimmered like a million diamonds across the sea, like a walkway to heaven’s gate; I suppose, the kind of morning Dad would love to go for a swim.” And from my eldest brother’s homily: “Alvin Abraham Clay has shown us the example. It’s up to us to follow it.” Y Larry Clay lives in Surf City.

The SandPaper/Wednesday, August 29, 2012

Insect Terrors To the Editor: Shortly after we moved to Little Egg Harbor in 2005 we were confronted by an unusually concentrated attack of very hungry, oak tree-devouring gypsy moths. Having never been introduced to these insects prior to our move, it was necessary to explore the resources of our neighbors, local nurseries and the Internet for information as well as suggested ways of treating and protecting the vulnerable trees on our property. Now, after three successive years of treating our trees with a product called Tangle Foot and one community-provided aerial spraying of an insect-killing substance, I am happy to report that the gypsy moth scourge is now nothing more than just a sad memory. However, we are now experiencing an invasion of another voracious, leaf-munching terror that I have been positively able to identify as an oak worm. These orange/ yellow-striped monsters have decimated large sections of several oak trees on our property as well as on neighboring properties. And unlike the gypsy moth caterpillars that generally appeared much earlier, these oak worms (caterpillars) appear toward the end of the summer season. They strip the leaves down to the more resilient veins and stems that could eventually kill the tree, and their droppings litter the streets, walkways, vehicles, etc. The overstuffed caterpillars falling from tree limbs find their way to porches, steps, driveways and other walkways designed for human traffic. There, their corpulent carcasses are often crushed, creating yet another unsightly if not unhealthy mess. Prior to our relocation from North Jersey to South Jersey some 32 years ago, the only insect concerns we had involved the dreaded mosquito (a.k.a. the state bird), an occasional bag worm nest, a few wasps and Japanese beetles. When we moved to Manahawkin in 1980 we were introduced to sand fleas and vicious, stinging yellow jackets that didn’t hesitate to attack instantaneously if disturbed. We moved from Manahawkin to Forked River and lived quite near the bay for several years. There, the very familiar mosquitoes seemed to have given up their quest for blood so that their lusty competitors, the greenheads, could exact their revenge on any unsuspecting living creature. Unlike mosquitoes that possessed almost painless, needle-like, bloodsucking straws, the greenheads seemed to have teeth that they used to savagely and painfully rip chunks of flesh from body parts before returning to their

home to re-sharpen their teeth in preparation for another day. There were also very annoying, teensy, biting things our neighbors called “nosee-ums” that attacked with regularity and appeared to even penetrate our window screens. And, of course near the bay, where tall grasses flourish, we had fleas, ticks and more ticks. Our pet dog, which we adopted from Popcorn Park Zoo, once presented with a rather large, reddish, grape-like protrusion, which stuck out from under his fur and which we, having never previously experienced, immediately assumed was some sort of cancerous growth on his skin. A visit to the vet proved that the strange “grape” was nothing more than a well-fed tick, enlarged with blood. Our home in Forked River was equipped with some sort of non-metallic fiber screen material on the sliding patio doors. I recall with great clarity a time when a rather large beetle flew onto the patio door and, using what appeared to be pincers of some sort protruding from its head, unbelievably began to methodically snip and cut away the interwoven fibers of our screen door! I realize that insects existed and thrived on this planet long before primates evolved and that they will probably be here long after we’re gone, that insects have their benefits as food sources for animals that feed on them, for producing food (honey), for human food production (pollination), for cleaning up what nature leaves behind (dead trees and animals), and that in nature a certain balance of sorts is created if everything is left alone. My concern involves the fact that many insects carry diseases that are fatal to animals as well as humans and that the uncontrolled destruction of oak tree forests result in loss of soil-retaining root systems, loss of shaded areas, loss of carbon dioxideconverting trees, and loss of animal habitats and food sources for those who depend on oak trees. And, while a natural system without supervision or control might be a workable situation for areas uninhabited by humans, common sense dictates that well-thought-out controls and regulations are necessary to protect human inhabitants who live adjacent to, or in areas influenced by, protected state reserves that could pose potential dangers. With these thoughts in mind, I hope someone in our municipal or state government will pay a bit more attention to the destruction of our very important forested land areas by thoroughly investigating the damage that has occurred to date, developing plans and incorporating the activities needed to curtail the damage-causing insects, thereby ensuring that in the future New Jersey remains the “Garden State.” S. Fox Little Egg Harbor

Beachﬁll Fuel To the Editor: I have a “what if,” regarding the beach replenishment issue. Long Beach Island hasn’t been hit with a hurricane since 1944. Everything since has been not even close. Most of the people living on LBI now weren’t here in 1944. Maybe 200 still live on the Island and are able to remember the 1944 hurricane. My half-century class reunion proved that. What I’m getting to is that when the next big storm comes, the homeowners who would not allow the beachﬁll might want to reconsider their position. What happens when their homes are destroyed by the waves? Is the town liable? And what happens when the debris from their homes destroys homes to the west all down the street to the bay? Can these people sue that homeowner whose house was Continued on Page 14

To the Editor: R. Jones of Manahawkin (“Out of Control,” 8/15) is correct that illegal and hazardous bicycling is common on Long Beach Island. But clueless drivers who threaten the lives of cyclists and pedestrians are just as common. So many drivers park on the sidewalk that one must assume that most drivers do not know what a sidewalk is (the area between the edge of the roadway and the property line generally 10 feet from the pavement edge, whether paved or not). Along Ocean, Atlantic and Beach avenues, parked cars on the sidewalk force pedestrians onto the shoulder, and make it difﬁcult for cyclists to see possible hazards unless they ride in the center of the lane.

So many drivers fail to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks that one would assume that many drivers do not know what a crosswalk is (the extension of the sidewalk across the roadway, whether marked by painted lines or not). So many drivers speed that one must assume that drivers mentally add 10 mph to every posted speed limit – not so different from cyclists who run red lights and stop signs (5 mph instead of 0 mph). Many drivers overtake and pass cyclists dangerously. Student drivers are taught not to move right after passing until they can see the overtaken vehicle in their rearview mirror, but most drivers start to move right as soon as the front of the car is past the bike, as if the cyclist were a stationary object. Almost all drivers make illegal right turns on the bike lanes along Atlantic and Beach avenues and Long Beach Boulevard south of Beach Haven. The law requires drivers to safely merge right into the bike lane, as if it were a right-turn-only lane, before making the right turn; but most drivers turn right from the through lane, which can be dangerous if a cyclist is proceeding straight. Many drivers illegally honk their horns at cyclists riding in the center of the lane for their own safety, as if drivers do not even realize why the cyclist is in the center of the lane. In Ship Bottom and Surf City, riding too far to Continued on Page 18

Continued from Page 6 and relationships of all kinds: to each other, to nature, even to the chatty old guy on the nearby blanket who never shuts up the entire week. Z and I are the perfect complementary beach-walking buddies. I have a tendency to look down when I stride, following the mottled prints of all the beach feet that came before. Z, on the other hand, walks ﬁrmly in the present, head held high, savoring the misty ocean air, eyes always alert for hidden treasures. This year it was dolphins, by the bushel. We’ve always had occasion to see them throughout our beach weeks in the past, usually a ways away, off in the distance, usually in sets of two or three. It’s always a big occasion when folks spot them, accompanied by a lot of murmuring and dashes to the shoreline. I don’t know how she does it, whether they send her a secret message or not, but Z always seems to be the one who lifts her head and says “dolphins!” in the same manner that Radar O’Reilly would announce the incoming choppers on “M*A*S*H.” For some reason, this week the sea was full of them, breaching and playing, swimming around in groups much larger than any we’d ever seen in the past. At one point they had come in so close to the shore that the lifeguards pulled everyone from the water. I’m not sure why. I guess because dolphins have been known to run off with people’s Boogie Boards. At least that was my theory. Another theory is that dolphins always arrive with a special message for everyone to whom they present themselves. A lot of people feel it’s a sign to slow down, empty your brain and enjoy the simple pleasures – to understand that no matter what insanity the world seems to manufacture at times, we’re all the same, existing together, whether on land or in the sea. That’s the message some people receive. The message I usually receive is that I should get a cheesesteak for lunch. Don’t ask me why; I guess it’s just me. Z says that’s a very self-serving message and she doubts the dolphins would make the trip just to deliver my lunch menu. I just shake my head at her skepticism and say, “It’s dolphins. Who am I to question?” We continued on our outbound excursion up the beach for a bit longer, until we hit the two-mile mark, where we would usually turn around. On this day we noticed we were close to the Brant Beach reclamation, which was said to be yielding a rare supply of sand dollars, unearthed by the recent dredging. Z thought we should walk on ahead a little and see if we could pick up a creta-

Then, a bit farther to the south of our ﬁrst glimpse, a long, majestic streak of shiny black rolled gracefully from the water, then slipped back beneath the waves.

ceous buck or two. Believe it or not, I was the first to come up with one, or half a dollar as it were, a “50-cent” piece of sea shell. Of course Z went on to find several others, intact, yet on the small side, but the point was, it was a rare find, and anything rare is always welcome, including my impending cheesesteak. After an unplanned bit of sea shell hunting we finally turned around, mindful of the extra mile and a half we had added onto our journey, and began walking back along the familiar shoreline. This time we had the benefit of the cool breeze in our faces, which was a refreshing treat. However, cool breeze aside, what was also different was the much larger, solitary, shadowy shape barely breaching the waves in front of us. At the same moment, a group of lifeguards, gathered for their morning roster call, all turned at once and began pointing toward the ocean. This was obviously not your average dolphin sighting. Then, a bit farther to the south of our first glimpse, a long, majestic streak of shiny black rolled gracefully from the water, then slipped back beneath the waves. It was a whale, something we had never seen here before, and something so obviously rare, especially this close, that even the lifeguards were excited by it. Z and I just stood there, mouths open, marveling at what we had just seen. It also struck us that if we had not walked the extra distance to gather the sand dollars, we probably never would have seen it at all. I asked Z what message she thought that was supposed to be. She just shrugged and said she wasn’t sure, but maybe there was real value in finding those sand dollars, after all. I, on the other hand had no doubt what special message the whale was sending to me. It was telling me, “Go for the cheesy fries, also!” Which I did. This all took place on a Tuesday, but it really defined and highlighted the rest of our week, which also included a day of swimming with the rays, always a treat. Of course there were several nice dinners out, one in which a passing waiter spilled a mug of beer on me as I was leaving my name at the desk, which resulted in my scoring a T-shirt plus a trip to the head of a hungry line of diners for my soggy troubles. But now that I’m home, back clacking away, it seems clear to me that the gift left behind on that special day of dolphins, sand dollars and whales was, and will be, a lasting one. Keep your head up, eyes focused and mind open. But most importantly, always look to the sea, and straddle the ocean’s edge every chance you get.

Continued from Page 14 the right on Long Beach Boulevard creates the risk of being struck by an opening car door. In Beach Haven a cyclist is in the blind spot of a car backing out of the angle parking unless the bike is in the main travel lane. Fortunately, Long Beach Township police are trying to educate drivers and cyclists on how to be safe. When they see a pedestrian stranded in the middle of the Boulevard, police turn on their ďŹ&#x201A;ashing lights and block both lanes of trafďŹ c, which both allows the pedestrians to cross and hopefully reminds all the drivers that they should have stopped without a reminder from the police. Variable message signs provide the message to cycle on the right and walk on the left. Local police should also attempt to model correct driving and bicycling. For example, police in Ship Bottom should stop riding bikes on sidewalks against the ďŹ&#x201A;ow of trafďŹ c on Long Beach Boulevard â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as if they were pedestrians â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and instead learn to operate their bikes as one would drive a car.

To the Editor: On behalf of our family, I want to thank everyone who helped make our vacation on LBI a week we will never forget. The generosity of the people and businesses of this Island is amazing. Through Operation Jersey Shore Vacation, military families are treated to a week at the Jersey Shore. We were fortunate enough to be chosen for this program. Les and Deborah Kerr-Leathem donated a week in their lovely home to us during one of the prime weeks in August. It was perfect. Randy and Robin Sinor of Mary Allen Realty, and their daughter, Amy, coordinated all the details of our Operation Jersey Shore Vacation. We cannot thank you enough. Fantasy Island not only honored us, they gave the children a night they will never forget. You guys rock! Island businesses could not do enough for us, and we would have to stay for a month to take advantage of all that was offered. Our gratitude goes out to Miss Barnegat Light for the ďŹ shing offer, Joeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for the pizza, Acme for the gift certiďŹ cate, Harvey Cedars ShellďŹ sh for the delicious seafood, Mary Cleary for the mini-golf, Thundering Surf for the riotous fun in the sun and Eileen Matson for the generous gift certiďŹ cate for a night out in a great restaurant (without the kids!). Operation Jersey Shore Vacation gave us a

special opportunity to share a week with our entire family, reliving the memories of my childhood vacations on LBI. And, because of the support of the LBI community, I was able to give my sons the same type of LBI memories to cherish. After two combat tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan, my family and I were able to share a vacation that was a dream come true. God bless our troops and thank you, LBI! Staff Sgt. Benjamin Lamb Fort Drum, N.Y.

Helping Holgate To the Editor: Fifteen dollars â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that is all it takes to support a nonproďŹ t association that has done so much over the years to preserve, protect and improve Holgate. The Holgate Taxpayers Association promotes and encourages the civic, social and environmental interests of Holgate and Beach Haven Inlet. Most Holgate homeowners are seasonal and not registered to vote locally. The association was formed in 1959 as a nonproďŹ t â&#x20AC;&#x153;watchdogâ&#x20AC;? to identify issues and monitor the local governing body. Our working relationship with Long Beach Township personnel has gotten results; i.e., establishing bike lanes, expanding and paving the wood jetty parking lot, updating and cleaning our playground; refurbishing and maintaining the tennis court. Other efforts have focused on the bath house, greenhead traps, bike racks, Neighborhood Crime Watch and street ends, to name just a few. Continued on Page 21

Continued from Page 6 How did the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest, most successful democracy come to this? Partly it is because of our arcane system. Do you understand the electoral college? Why are some states â&#x20AC;&#x153;winner take allâ&#x20AC;?? Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s counting the votes? But mostly it is because we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay attention. Messages reach us many ways, over and over, through many routes, and eventually we get bored and angry and curse all politics. But an impression remains, and as any adman can testify, the simpler, louder, more frequent the message, the deeper the impression. We start to wonder: Maybe Obama wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t born in the United States. Maybe Romney did cook the books in his former company. Maybe Medicare is on the chopping block. Maybe illegal aliens are secret Islamists â&#x20AC;Ś We spend more effort getting a new car than picking a president. Maybe we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deserve a democracy. Y

Courtesy Parking? To the Editor: In regards to Rick Mellerup’s article, “Tire Marks Mar Beach Haven’s Veteran’s Park” (8/15), I think it misses an important fact. Every Monday night since July 2 there has been a 7:30 p.m. program at the Long Beach Island Historical Association Museum. On Aug. 13, the night I think the article refers to, the program had a huge audience. So huge in fact, I believe they brought out the metal folding chairs and still had a standingroom-only crowd. I know that in years past people attending the program have parked in the park. Given the time the cars were gone by, it seems reasonable to conclude that is what happened this time. I can only guess the reason tickets were not given was that either the police were unaware or too busy or it was a courtesy given to the program’s attendants. If this is a problem, the simplest and most effective solution would be to close the park’s car entrance by locking the chain. Arthur J. Curtin III North Beach Haven

More Than a Church To the Editor: Long Beach Island has been a summer tradition for me since I was a child. I now have the great pleasure of sharing the same tradition with my children and spend most of my summers here. This year we found a wonderful little church in Beach Haven: Island Baptist Church. The church offers so much more than just church on Sunday. As a family, we have participated in three free movie nights and countless events for the kids. The volunteers at this church give of their time week after week during the summer to provide a great Vacation Bible School to all local and vacationing families on the Island. I would just like to send a giant thank-you to everyone from Island Baptist Church and their mission groups for making this sum-

Camp Rocks To the Editor: My two young sons and nephew had the pleasure of attending the weeklong Push the Rock Camp at the Harvey Cedars Bible Conference last week. This program was amazing on so many levels. The boys enjoyed playing many sports and they were also taught good sportsmanship. They made many friends with quality individuals. This was the ﬁrst year they held the Push the Rock Camp on Long Beach Island and hopefully they will return again next year. It is wonderful for our children to have the opportunity to attend camps like this one. Thank you to all of the counselors and staff for the children’s camps. Keep up the amazing work! Kate Kotarski Surf City

Dubious Programs To the Editor: In response to the remark by Carole Marks (“Radical Rightwinger,” 8/15) about “extending the Bush tax cuts” – she apparently forgot the tax credits for all taxpayers included in the tax cuts. Millions of low-income taxpayers who usually receive a $1,500 Treasury check will receive a $1,500 tax due notice. Flash notice!: If no action is taken, Medicare will go broke in about eight to 12 years. President Obama, in his Obamacare law, is taking $716 billion from the Medicare reserve. Tell me how removal of the funding source helps Medicare. Ryan’s plan assures that anyone over 55 has no change. Continued on Page 56

County Removes ‘Batons’ After Harvey Cedars Cites Possible Hazards

Jack Reynolds

A WAIT-AND-SEE SITUATION: Long Beach Township ofﬁcials announced on Tuesday that access to the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge in Holgate, which typically reopens Sept. 1 each year, is on hold due to erosion.

Beach Buggy Access to Refuge To Be Delayed at Least a Week T he scheduled Sept. 1 opening of the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge in Holgate will be delayed at least one week due to erosion of the sandy entry point, Long Beach Township ofﬁcials explained Tuesday. General beachfront access throughout the township for vehicles with permits will reopen as scheduled on Sept. 15. A full moon and astronomical high tides have contributed to the loss of signiﬁcant amounts of sand at the southernmost point of Long Beach Is-

land, making this Saturday’s opening of the refuge impossible, said Andy Baran, assistant director of the township Public Works Department, which monitors the spot and tries to alleviate the erosion as much as possible. The refuge, a 2½-mile area comprised of barrier beach, dunes and tidal salt marsh, is typically open to pedestrians and four-wheel drive vehicles from September through March, but accessibility is dependent on how the sand at the entrance fares. As Baran explained, the township is set to meet with the New Jersey

Department of Environmental Protection on Friday, Sept. 7. “We’re trying to get a project through the state” to help combat the erosion. “We want to see what we’re allowed to do and what we’re not allowed to do.” Following that meeting, township ofﬁcials, police and Public Works employees, in conjunction with Forsythe staff, will decide when the entrance will open. “We are going to try to accommodate people by opening up if we can,” said Commissioner Ralph Bayard, who oversees Public Works. “It all

hite rubber cylindrical poles along Long Beach Boulevard in Harvey Cedars to warn drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians of narrow shoulders were recently taken down by the Ocean County Engineering Department after the borough complained they were creating potentially hazardous situations. County Engineer Frank Scarantino said that during the offseason, the county widened shoulders from 2 to 4 feet in cooperation with Atlantic City Electric Co. “We had utility poles repositioned to enable us to widen the areas,” he said. “But there were some shoulders that could not be done, so we set up these batons to let people know that the shoulders there are going to be a little narrower.” The batons, which were 42 inches high, were set up in late June from Cumberland to Cape May avenues, the Camden Avenue area and the main business area. “We were going to take them down in the fall,” Scarantino said. “But apparently, the borough was concerned that bicyclists were hitting them trying to avoid hitting them. Maybe some people did not quite understand why the batons were there. So after talking to the borough, we agreed to take them down.” Borough Commissioner Michael Garofalo, who is public safety chairman, said the borough was caught off-guard because the

depends on the ebb and ﬂow of the sand. If it’s all washed out, we won’t be able to. “We have to keep it safe, too.” Hurricane Irene wreaked havoc on the area in late August of last year, and after opening that September, the popular ﬁshing and wildlife observation area was cut off by erosion. Then in October, northeast winds and extremely high tides were to blame for another closing. That fall, Mayor

SOMC Is Busy Bringing on New Physicians

anahawkin’s Southern Ocean Medical Center has been busy recruiting physicians, so busy that eight new doctors will be associated with the hospital formerly known as SOCH by the end of September. That’s rather incredible considering that the United States is facing a looming doctor shortage. Indeed, the shortfall has already arrived in many regions of the country. Republicans typically blame the even larger projected shortage – the Association of American Medical Colleges estimates the country will need 62,900 more doctors by 2015 and more than double that number by 2025 – on the Affordable Care Act of 2010, a.k.a. Obamacare. When (or if, according to the results of this autumn’s contentious elections) the law goes fully into effect in Continued on Page 24

STAVING OFF SHORTFALL: Dr. Deep B. Trivedi (left) and Joseph Coyle, SOMC president, stand outside the entrance to the Manahawkin facility, which has suffered a doctor shortage.

county did not notify the municipality that the batons were being placed. “Another potential problem you had was pedestrians walking against traffic, which is what they’re supposed to do, and bicyclists heading in the opposite direction riding with traffic,” he said. “To avoid hitting the batons, there was the possibility of a bicyclist hitting a pedestrian.” What the borough wants as a permanent solution is to have the Boulevard reconfigured from its current four-lane scheme to two lanes with a middle turning lane and wider shoulders. However, the county has repeatedly told officials the project won’t happen unless Long Beach Township and Barnegat Light drop their opposition to it; those two towns contend it may cause additional traffic tie-ups. “We’ll continue dialogue with the county,” Garofalo said. “I realize with the batons they were trying to be sensitive to our needs, but this just wasn’t going to work out.” Phil Kunz, president of the Harvey Cedars Taxpayers Association, said he is “tired of Band-aid solutions.” “Boulevard safety has been a big concern for us for a number of years,” he said. “We’re going to keep this on the front burner until something finally happens that can completely resolve this situation.” — Eric Englund ericenglund@thesandpaper.net Joseph Mancini said the municipality spent in excess of $20,000 for 90 truckloads of sand placed at the refuge entrance. This past June, Public Works placed approximately 120 sandbags along the dune line near the refuge as part of a continuing effort to combat the erosion. As Baran explained at the time, the department used 4x8-foot sandbags near the refuge entrance. Last year, the township put sandbags in a different location, just north of the refuge and closer to Washington Avenue. “That whole area is very severely eroded,” Bayard noted in June. “We’re trying to maintain that area for the enjoyment of everyone,” and for the protection of nearby homes. “It’s an ongoing battle until we get beach replenishment in Holgate,” Bayard said Monday, Aug. 27. “You can only do so much.” A $50 permit is required for access to the refuge, and is also good for beach buggy access throughout the township. Individuals can visit the Long Beach Township Police Department at 6805 Long Beach Blvd. in Brant Beach for permits, and can call the department at 609-494-3322 for information on both permits and access closures. Information on the opening, and any subsequent closures, is also available on the Jingles Bait and Tackle website, http://jinglesbaitandtackle. com/, or Facebook page, both of which store owner Margaret O’Brien updates regularly. Or, call the shop at 609-492-2795. — Juliet Kaszas-Hoch julietkaszas-hoch@thesandpaper.net

Doctor Shortage Has Been Building Continued from Page 22 2014, an additional 32 million Americans will have health insurance, probably prompting them to seek medical services they currently are putting off. But like most serious problems, the physician shortage can’t be explained in a few minutes of yelled commentary on a Fox News show. Obamacare is far from the only reason for the situation. Another major factor is the country’s graying population. During the next several years some 15 million Baby Boomers will become eligible for Medicare, and seniors use a disproportionate amount of medical services. There is also a strange twist related to the Baby Boomers in that many physicians of that generation are nearing retirement, dropping out of the work force just as they are most needed. The fact is that the doctor shortage has been building for a long time. ”For a while there was a limited number of slots in medical schools,” explained SOMC President Joseph P. Coyle. According to Roger Stark, MD, of the Washington Policy Center, a non-partisan think tank that promotes “sound public policy based on free-market solutions,” the roots of the situation can be found in 1965, the year Medicare and Medicaid entered the picture: “Medical educators, organized medicine and politicians struggled with a looming doctor shortage. Consequently medical school output was doubled from 1965 to 1980 when 18,200 students graduated. A total of 44 traditional, allopathic medical schools plus 10 osteopathic schools were constructed from 1960 to 1980,

the first major increase since 1920.” The pendulum began to swing in the other direction. “In 1976,” wrote Stark, “the federal government declared the doctor shortage was over and by 1979 there were reports of a ‘doctor glut.’ Yearly medical school output has essentially been flat for the past thirty years, even though the U.S. population increased 37 percent over the same period.” Medical schools are only part of the story. There is also the matter of a limited number of residencies. The fact is that medical schools have, once again, started increasing admissions since 2005. But when the young doctors graduate there is often no place for them to go for their postgraduate education, their residencies. That’s because most residencies in the United States are paid for by Uncle Sam through Medicare. In 1997, Congress froze the number of residency slots, still reacting to the “doctor glut” of the early 1980s. Since then Congress has been reluctant to increase funding for residencies as it attempts to rein in the costs of Medicare. So, the situation is complicated. But one thing is certain – a doctor crunch is on the way, in fact already exists in many poorer parts of the country, which physicians avoid in lieu of more-affluent communities and larger, more prestigious hospitals. It is a seller’s market for physicians. “It’s a much more competitive environment out there,” said Coyle, looking back on his 21 years as president of SOCH/SOMC. Continued on Page 60

Shoreline Site In Barnegat Up for Auction

rospective developers may place their bids at a bankruptcy court auction on Monday, Sept. 24, for the old site of Shoreline Sand and Gravel mining operation at 1111 West Bay Ave. in Barnegat Township. Sheldon Good and Co., a real estate auctioneering company headquartered in New York on Madison Avenue, will be conducting the auction at the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey, 402 East State St., Courtroom 3 in Trenton. The company said all bidding will be open and public. To bid during the auction, qualiďŹ ed bidders need only raise their hand, shout out their bid or instruct an auctioneerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bidder assistant to call out a bid on behalf of the qualiďŹ ed bidder. The mining and recycling facility, which ceased operations in 2010, is located approximately a half-mile west of Nautilus Drive. It is bordered by the Ocean Acres and Heritage Point residential developments, along with several private homes on Nautilus Drive. Township Administrator David Breeden said the Ocean County Solid Waste Commission gave Shoreline permission to operate the facility in 2005, but the company went bankrupt ďŹ ve years later. The street frontage area of the site is zoned commercial, while the remaining portion is zoned for residential use. Earlier this year, the township planning board approved a resolution designating the area for redevelopment. The township committee later adopted a resolution endorsing the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendation. Breeden said that with the redevelopment designation, the town could be eligible for grants if any environmental cleanup is necessary. He said the area had several buildings in deteriorating condition, old storage tanks and possibly contaminated soil. However, Breeden said redevelopment is â&#x20AC;&#x153;independent and separateâ&#x20AC;? from the bankruptcy process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The owners of Shoreline have been engaged in the bankruptcy process for some time,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sale of the Shoreline property represents asset liquidation, which is a requirement Continued on Page 60

ith the opening of school just a week away, the Barnegat School District recently announced staff changes that ofﬁcials said would maximize their talents and prepare for major changes in teacher evaluation policies coming down from Trenton. Joseph Saxton will be moving from principal of the high school to principal of the Robert Horbelt Elementary School. Stephen Nichol is being transferred from principal at the Russell Brackman Middle School to Saxton’s former post. Scott Kiewe will be moving as principal of the Horbelt School to director of special education for grades K-12. In the meantime, Vice Principals John Fiorentino and Josh Toddings will be in charge at Brackman until a permanent principal is hired. Saxton had been principal at the high school since it opened in 2004, while Kiewe had been in his post for six years. Nichol had been serving at the helm of Brackman since 2003. In addition, Wood announced 18 teachers are being moved within the Brackman School, but only within their specialty. Anthony Scotto, the district director of curriculum and instruction, said these are changes to help prepare for Gov. Christie’s Teacher Effectiveness and Accountability for the Children of New Jersey Act, which he said is scheduled to go into effect in 2013. “Teachers will not only be evaluated by their performance, but by the performance of their Continued on Page 32

Ocean County Reports First West Nile Case By RICK MELLERUP he first human case of West Nile virus in Ocean County in 2012 was reported on Friday. According to Ocean County Health Department Public Health Coordinator Daniel Regenye, the resident reported mild symptoms and has since recovered. The patient’s municipality was not identified. It was the fourth case of human West Nile virus in New Jersey this year. The virus has also been identified in 17 dead birds in Ocean County. New Jersey has so far been spared an onslaught of West Nile this year. The situation in the nation, however, is raising concerns. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta reported 1,118 confirmed human cases of WNV infection resulting in 41 deaths nationwide as of Aug. 21. There were only 712 human cases and 43 deaths for all of 2011. There haven’t been as many cases as there have been nationwide to date in an entire year since 2008, when there were 1,356 cases. But remember, cases develop well into the autumn. Still, it doesn’t look likely that 2012 will become a record-setter. In 2003, WNV spread like a wildfire across the nation, sickening 9,862 persons and killing 264. That was amazing considering WNV didn’t make an appearance in this country until 1999, when 62 people were sickened, seven fatally, in New York state. The mosquito-carried virus first struck humans in New Jersey in 2000. Although 47 states have reported detecting WNV in people, birds or mosquitoes, some 75 percent of the human cases have come from five states – Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, South Dakota and Oklahoma. Almost half the cases have come from Texas alone. If WNV numbers have fluctuated over the years, the basic advice given by public health officials remains the same: avoid mosquitoes! That can be done by limiting outdoor activities at dawn and dusk, making sure screen doors and windows are in good repair, wearing long pants and long-sleeved shirts when outdoors when the weather permits, and employing an insect repellent containing DEET when outside. Residents can assist the fight against mosquitoes by limiting the standing water around their homes. Bird baths should have their water changed at least once, preferably twice, a week. Outside water dishes for pets should be

even local organizations will split $4,700 in funding awarded by the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce this fall. The money comes from proceeds of Chowderfest and other chamber activities. Selected for the fall grant cycle are: The Pinelands Fourth of July Celebration; Tuckerton Seaport Chriskindlmarkt; United Way of Ocean County’s 35th annual Gala at Sea Oaks; David’s Dream and Believe Foundation’s “Crabbin’ for a Cure”; Waretown Thunder World Series Championship; Care to Be Aware Foundation Bluegrass by the Bay Crabfest; and Southern Ocean Rotary Club’s Operation Halloween and Zombie Outbreak. What's that last one, you ask? A Halloween festival and scary funhouse Oct. 12 and 13 at the Joseph A. Citta Scout Camp in Barnegat. These organizations have been invited to send a representative to receive their check at the Southern Ocean Chamber Summer Cool Down Party at the Sea Shell Resort and Beach Club in Beach Haven on Wednesday, Sept. 12. Recognizing the need to help local events thrive, the chamber created a funding committee three years ago. It meets three times a year to ﬁeld, review and make recommendations to the chamber board for the awards. Funding requests can be submitted by downloading the proper form on the visitLBIregion.com website, under the Chamber section. For information on the funding review process, contact Lori Pepenella at the chamber of commerce by phone at 609-494-7211 or at the ofﬁce, 265 West Ninth St., Ship Bottom. —M.S.

cleaned daily. Excess water should be removed from flower pots, wheelbarrows, trashcan lids, recycling bins, and tires used as swings (a neat trick is to drill a hole in the bottom of the swing). Wading pools should be dumped when not in use; ditches in yards and driveways should be filled. Swimming pools should be covered when not in use, and folks should consider purchasing mosquito-eating fish for their ponds. “County residents can help the Health Department control and identify WNV by reporting dead birds they find on their property by calling the department at 732-341-9700, extension 7515 or toll free at 1-800-342-9738, extension 7515,” said OCHD Health Educator John Clayton. —R.M.

Barnegat Schools Continued from Page 28 students,” said Scotto. “We will have to look at planning and proficiency, instruction, classroom environment and professional responsibility.” At an informational meeting on Monday at the Brackman School, Wood said Nichol would be a natural fit at the high school since he was familiar with the students when they were attending Brackman. Wood also said that due to newer housing developments in the Horbelt School area, the school has seen a “cultural shift” in its students. “And this could impact the school for the next few years,” said Wood. “At the high school, Dr. Saxton had to work with children who went through the elementary school and middle schools, and there was a lot of diversity. He really had to pull everything and everyone together, and he is the person who will be facing a similar challenge at the Horbelt School.” She said Kiewe is a “real child advocate” and at one time served as a special education teacher. “He knows how to work collaboratively,” she said. “He will sit down and listen to the parents and talk about what you need for your child.” During the meeting, parents and other people who had questions about the moves were asked to fill out index cards, which were handed to Mary LaBruna, the math and science subject coordinator for grades six to 12. Some wondered if it was wise to announce major changes so late during the summer and said the decisions should have been announced in June or July. Wood agreed that it was a fair concern. “But when you look at the level of experience these educators have, it should really be a seamless transition,” she said. Parents who praised Saxton for having a Continued on Page 60

UNFINISHED BUSINESS: The Bengals get set for a morning practice session. Last year’s 7-4 team could get a big boost from two soph transfers once they are eligible to play, after 30 days.

Barnegat Bengals Hope to Roar Louder in 2012 Gridiron Season

he Barnegat High School Bengals varsity football team reached new milestones in 2011, including capturing their first Shore Conference Class B title, winning their first home playoff game, posting their best record at 7-4 and setting a mark for most points scored in a game (63) against Pinelands Regional High School. While some key seniors have departed, head coach Rob Davis is confident his remaining core players can at least stay the course, if not do better. “Our goal is to win the conference, make the playoffs and see if we can make a run,” he said. “The last two years in the playoffs we lost to the eventual state champion (West Deptford), and they’re a real powerhouse.” Davis is enthused about two players who won’t be able to make an impact right away because they are transfers from Holy Spirit High School in Atlantic County, As a result, they will sit out the first 30 days of the season. One of them is quarterback Cinjun Erskine, who is projected to be starting quarterback once he can officially don the black and orange. The Philadelphia Inquirer has rated Erskine as one of the top sophomore quarterbacks in the state. The other tranferee is sophomore Sam Madden, who, at 6-foot-7, 305 pounds, could be a force on the offensive and defensive lines. “They both have a bright future with us,” said

Davis. “A kid like Madden will keep getting bigger and stronger, so he could really dominate.” Like his predecessor, Mark McCoy, Erskine throws from the left side. “But he’s 6-2, around 200, and looks stronger than McCoy was,” said Davis. “He’s a very fluid player.” In the meantime, senior Pat Moran, who is normally the starter at wide receiver and defensive back, will handle quarterback duties with sophomore Ricky Gerena. The offensive line returns starters senior Nick Anderson, junior Greg Moran, senior Matt Lauer and junior Zach Andrews. They will also see action on the defensive front, and Andrews at 6-3, 308, and Lauer at 6-2, 281, give the unit considerable size. Senior Matt Knierim returns as a starting wideout, and he’ll be joined by junior Ryan Ullrich. Sophomore Xavier Young will have big shoes to fill at tight end, as he replaces Ryan Morris, who is now with Purdue. Juniors A.J. Opre and Mark Magoon will be getting the bulk of carries out of the backfield. Magoon, along with senior Chris Stoma, will be seeing action at linebacker, as will sophomores Tyler McGuiness and Kevin Hoffman. Senior Matt Frigone will see action on the defensive line, and senior Eddie Santiago, sophomore Continued on Page 36

WELL READ: A high school student reads a portion of the script from ‘Colby and the Corner Pocket’ to writer/director Jake Fuller at the Foundation of the Arts and Sciences on Sunday.

Indy Film Gains Local Support With Foundation Casting Call

ighty-five hopefuls were lined up and waiting in the hot sun on the upstairs deck of the Foundation of the Arts and Sciences in Loveladies on Sunday to audition for medium to minor roles or to be extras for “Colby in the Corner Pocket,” a full-length feature independent film to be shot entirely on LBI. “It was way more people than we expected,” said co-writer and director Jake Fuller of New York City. “We should have more than enough people for the film.” The crowd auditioning ran the gamut, including experienced actors, some of whom were sent there through their agents, with parts of the script in hand for a given role. Entire families staying or living on LBI with little or no acting experience auditioned for fun. Fuller and co-writer/director/editor Alex Markman, also of New York City, filmed some as they auditioned for specific roles, which included a bartender and a lifeguard. “It’s tough because we got so many good people that could work, and now we have to file that list down to who we want to use.” The all-New York City crew of 12 will head back to LBI beginning next week and set up to begin shooting the film the evening of Sept. 8. “Colby in the Corner Pocket” is slated to be a 90-minute film, made on a $35,000 budget thanks in part to gestures such as the outpouring of locals who auditioned and the

Foundation, which allowed them the space to do so. “The Foundation was so great to us. They encouraged us to enter (The Lighthouse International Film Festival) and were eager to help in any way,” Fuller said. “It’s so good to see people from New York wanting to shoot a film on LBI,” said Jay Zimmerman of Harvey Cedars, who was there auditioning. “This island has talent from all over and very little local opportunity to work in the arts. Hopefully the Foundation will host more of these projects in the future.” Zimmerman came with head shot and resume in hand. Although he has auditioned in New York City, Atlantic City and Los Angeles before, he said, “Nothing beats auditioning at home. Hopefully this project will be a success.” “I feel really great,” said Fuller. “I’ve had a ton of support from random people and it’s still going to really be tight for us, but it’s going to happen. Meals are still going to be a really big thing for us.” Fuller and the rest of the crew plan on passing out flyers to local restaurants and other businesses asking for donations as they head into the post-Labor Day shoot. Anyone interested in contacting the crew or learning more about the film may do so through their web site at colbyinthecornerpocket.com. — Michael Molinaro

From the book Josephine, Down The Shore Publishing

From Wartime Aide to World Traveler to Fisherman’s Wife

By MARIA SCANDALE watercolored life married to an ocean ﬁsherman during the Great Depression marks part two in the book Josephine, and that is an engaging account in itself. World travels as a journalist and a pioneering career in World War I sparked the earlier life of Josephine Lehman Thomas in Josephine: A Memoir 1917-1959. Her daughter, well-known Long Beach Island author Margaret Thomas Buchholz, embarked on an adventure of her own as she pieced together the fascinating story from writings she found by her late mother. During World War I, before women had the right to vote in America, a young Josephine Lehman answered the patriotic call from Washington, D.C. and became one of the pioneering “government girls,” leaving her home in Michigan for vital work in the nation’s capital. In the 1920s, Josephine became a ghost writer for legendary travel author and radio personality Lowell Thomas. Unfolding in the memoir’s pages is “the optimism of the early 20th Century, the emerging professional woman, the thrill of adventure travel ... followed by the crash of the economy, losing everything, and ultimately happiness in a simple life by the sea,” as summarized BEFORE HER TIME: Josephine Lehman Thomas lived a in the book’s synopsis by the publisher, storied life that was re-assembled from diaries and research by her daughter, Margaret Thomas Buchholz (top), shown Down The Shore Publishing. “Simple life by the sea” meant fresh, here as the young editor of The Beachcomber. salty mornings – and survival through ravaging storms and icy winters with two young In the window seat of that home, Buchholz children. found some of her mother’s writings that led to Buchholz is co-author of Great Storms of the this book, after much more supportive research Jersey Shore, author of New Jersey Shipwrecks: of her own. 350 Years in the Graveyard of the Atlantic, and Josephine has gained praising reviews, such editor of Shore Chronicles: Diaries and Trav- as one stating that the book “paints a beautiful elers’ Tales from the Jersey Shore 1764-1955, portrait of a woman ahead of her time” in prose also for Down The Shore Publishing.

First in this chronicle of a trailblazing woman, readers get a firsthand view of the rare working girl of 1918, behind the scenes of government in wartime. Josephine had started her career in Michigan at the Ionia Sentinel, and one of her letters to home is published on Page One. The editor prefaced: “Thousands of American girls are flocking to Washington to do their part in the winning of the war.” This was a Washington of “crowds and confusion,” described resident Henry Adams in material found during Buchholz’ own research in Washington archives. Adams sets the scene: “Everything is camp and hospital. ... This little town has returned to its old habits of the Civil War. ... The railways are all running wild, every train is six or eight hours late, and every house is crowded beyond all reckoning by people arriving without notice and departing without goodbyes.” Jo, as her daughter refers to her, wrote exceptionally, with humor and detail. Her June 23, 1918, diary entry reads: “Worked two days last week for Monsieur Capitaine de Roquelaine ... he has just arrived from France on a confidential mission and asked for a private stenographer ‘with intelligence’ and they sent me to him. ... He is at the head of all the French military experts in the US and his work is very important. For the past two weeks I have been working in the section dealing with high explosives and I know how to blow up just about anything.” If the outdoor scene was chaotic, it was rivaled by the firing off of typewriter keys in the Shell Loading division where Josephine worked as a private stenographer. In early July she wrote,“Our office is a continual uproar. Two dozen typewriters are going at the same time, forty-seven people are yelling over the different telephones to places from New York to Chicago, men are shouting at each other across the room, and workers are rushing back and forth until I can’t hear myself think. This is the life.” Aside from the gift of these on-scene word pictures, Josephine and her daughter join forces in this chapter to inform readers of all sorts of period particulars. Wartime phrases were entering the vocabulary, the chapter points out (“over the top” and “carry on”). We also learn that “the new wristwatch” at $13.50 with a khaki strap became the favored gift for a man going off to war. Cigarettes fit into a uniform pocket; a pocketwatch did not. Before the war ended, the Spanish Influenza killed half as many soldiers in Europe as died in battle, and then it reached Washington. Jo wrote to the Sentinel that 20 of the 25 girls in her boardinghouse were sick. In this case, another writer eclipsed her account. “District Commander Louis Brownlow recalled the epidemic’s uncontrollable horror. ‘A girl had called to say that she and three other girls had a room together, that two of the girls were dead, another was dying and she was the only one not stricken; would I please get some help there. I managed to get the police department, and it found someone to go to that house.

When the policeman got there, there were four dead girls in the room.’” Josephine’s opportunity as researcher and writer for Lowell Thomas sprang from a job well done for Frank Carpenter editing Carpenter’s World Travels, now a priceless record of life around the world 100 years ago. Her years with Lowell Thomas would give her what she longed for most, foreign travel. Today’s readers of Josephine may be amazed that, for instance, she interviewed Georg von Trapp, later portrayed in “The Sound of Music.” “Lowell Thomas sent her to Europe to interview World War I U-boat captains,” said her daughter in a recent SandPaper interview. “She went to England, Germany, Austria, Italy, France.” The resulting stories became one of Thomas’ best sellers, Raiders of the Deep. “And then in 1929 she was over there and he called her back; he wanted her to go on a working cruise in the Caribbean. There is a chapter on that,” Buchholz said. “This was right before the stock market crashed. She would interview a World War I raider, Count Felix von Luckner.” In the book, letters to friends reveal the distractions under which Josephine worked on board the four-masted schooner. She was amid the “Palmolive, Colgate and Orange Crush millions,” she wrote. “The cruise was an unforgettable experience that Lowell Thomas described as ‘one of the zaniest episodes of the zany 1920s.’ It was an era of wonderful nonsense, a time when the dizzying spiral of prosperity was supposed to last forever.” By June 1930, the initial pinch of the Depression translated to more “sporadic” jobs ordered by Thomas. But part two of Josephine’s own life was about to begin. When she took time off to work on a novel of her own, she was introduced to her future husband, Reynold Thomas (no relation to Lowell) in the New York Public Library, their daughter recounts. Her changed experience as a wife on thensparsely developed Long Beach Island is told in the chapter The Fisherman’s Wife, an essay for which Scribner’s paid very well. Later, Reynold Thomas’ Barnegat Bay Dredging Co. was much in demand to create and uphold the shorefront area, but the early years were lean. There were times when work for the Defense Department called him away from home when the children were young. When he had gotten married, the young man did not have his family’s import business to follow, because it was a casualty of the stock market crash. “The story is they lived on that money (from The Fisherman’s Wife) for a year, $500,” Buchholz said. For lovers of shore lore, the Island times in pages 133 to 206 of the 240-page book will be the most captivating part. Josephine’s lyrically descriptive skill is applied to her observations of the Scandinavian ﬁshing community of Barnegat Light. She was both observer and immersed participant. “The last boat is lost in the early morning grayness, and inside of me is the dull emptiness I feel every time Tom puts out to sea,” the young wife wrote. “I walk back down the road to where the Model T is parked, beside the little lunchroom where two ﬁsh truck drivers are going in for early-morning coffee and fried potatoes. They glance at me curiously as I hurry

never voiced that notion to her daughter, who, in fact, has enjoyed international travels of her own. “I didn’t even know all of this existed until years and years after she died,” Buchholz told The SandPaper. “When I moved back in the house I found it, after my father died, in files in the windowseat, boxes in the attic.” The rest was revealed through research extensive enough that, to do it, Buchholz rented an apartment in Washington, D.C. She retraced her mother’s footsteps and keystrokes in three other states as well. This was in 1993 and 1994 after she was recovering from breast cancer, the same disease that had claimed her mother in 1959. Asked what it meant to her to compile the book, Buchholz said, “I discovered a woman that I did not know. She had such a long professional life before I came into the picture. “It was very difficult for me, in many ways, to do this,” Buchholz added, referring to discoveries made about this remarkable woman that could not be discussed with her now that she was gone. “I’d get very emotional. I think I dragged it out for a long time because then it was like she was still there with me, and I could fuss with it some more, and have my mother close by. And when I was finished, I really just fell apart.” The effort will be a gift for generations to come. Mark St. Germain, playwright, author, film and television writer, said as much in the book’s foreword. “It is riveting reading, one of the rare and wonderful times when journalism and memoir merge and become compelling literature. In these too-brief pages we are given the gift of feeling that we know an extraordinary human being,” St Germain wrote. “Two, actually,” he continued, referring to her daughter. Y

along, and one asks the other a question. The answer comes to me clearly in the still morning air: ‘Her? Oh, just one of the fishermen’s wives.’ “A deep-sea fisherman’s day begins at a quarter past three,” the wife elaborates on the next page. “... I awake by degrees as I go through the routine of breakfast. Coffee on one burner of the smoky oil stove, water for eggs on the other. The pounding of the surf sounds ominously loud to me ...” “... By nine o’clock I am numb and choked from worrying,” the pregnant spouse describes two more pages along in a captivating account of a wife’s worsening anxiety, “and when at last Tom strides in, ruddy and glowing from the rain and preceded by a strong odor of fish, I cry weakly down his neck and search futilely for my handkerchief. He offers me his own, one of his best monogrammed ones, which has evidently been used to clean out the fish bin.” “Never mind, honey, let ’em drip. You can’t make me any wetter,” Reynold answers to his “JoDear.” The narratives segue into World War II and its grip on Islanders’ psyches. “We can’t go into the ocean,” Josephine wrote to her mother in June 1942, “for the entire beach is covered with a thick coat of black, gummy oil from the torpedoed tankers offshore ... and the other night two airships crashed a few miles to the north.” By that time, she was tax collector of Harvey Cedars. In 1957, Reynold Thomas was president of the board of the new high school that had just been built on the mainland. Amid family tragedies in ensuing years, Buchholz published The Beachcomber, for which her mother wrote. If Josephine ever thought her diaries and letters might make a good book someday, she

Sister Island Cultural Exchange In St. Francis Kids’ Fiesta Week

he Sister Island Cultural Exchange Program continues between Long Beach Island and Menorca, Spain, and the perfect time for teaching kids a colorful geography lesson was Fiesta Week as it closed out the Vacation Club summer camp at St. Francis Community Center in Brant Beach. Lori Pepenella, destination marketing director for the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce, was there for a “show and tell” of what makes LBI so similar to the Spanish island. The chamber and its LBI Region Destination Marketing Organization launched the Sister Island Cultural Exchange this past spring, working with schools, churches, businesses and nonproﬁt groups on both Menorca and Long Beach Island. The islands share a common website portal in www.islandadvisor.com. “The Southern Ocean County chamber is delighted to speak to children about this unique cultural exchange and looks forward to more community and business outreach to help both islands’ tourism economies,” said Pepenella. “The partnership has already generated positive media attention internationally and would like to see the exchange grow.” For adults interested in learning more about the program, the Long Beach Island branch of the Ocean County Library in Surf City will host a Dec. 5 presentation featuring holiday

ﬁestas, with representatives from Menorca. The program begins at 10 a.m. To reach the chamber for more information, see the chamber website at visitLBIregion.com or call 609-494-7211. For more on the Sister Island exchange, go to islandadvisor.com. —M.S.

Business Really Sailing Along With Hobie, SunďŹ sh Rentals

f you want to ďŹ nd an activity to cool off besides swimming, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always sailing. But if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a sailboat of your own, you can always rent one at the Harvey Cedars Marina. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As far as I know, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the only place on the Island that offers sailboat rentals,â&#x20AC;? said Jeff Villanova, who with partners Kim Leary and Paul Rice took over ownership of the business 10 years ago. Villanova said that during the peak summer season, the marina averages about 30 rentals per week. The boats available are 13-foot catamaran Hobie Waves and 13-foot SunďŹ sh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The catamarans can hold four people and the SunďŹ sh are designed for two people,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rental times are two hours and four hours. About 98 percent of the people go for the two hours because four hours is a pretty long time out in the water.â&#x20AC;? He said that whether a beginner or experienced sailor, all renters all go through some orientation before venturing out in the water. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The key is always going to be the wind,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You take the upwind out into the water and take the downwind back to us. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not trying to teach people to sail around the world. We just want to them to have fun out in the bay. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had people in their 70s go out sailing for the ďŹ rst time. Hopefully, the people will learn how to sail to the point where they can do it on their own.â&#x20AC;? Villanova said sailing trips are canceled once winds reach more than 20 miles per hour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A good wind speed is 5 to 10 miles per hour,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another way for people to cool off. The breeze on the bay is refreshing.â&#x20AC;? Villanova said renters can sail over an area

of 10 square miles, covering Sandy Island to the Causeway Bridge. All people are ďŹ tted with life jackets, and the boats are also equipped with an emergency whistle. One hazard that the marina has an eagle eye out for is weather conditions. Summer can be the season for pop-up thunderstorm cells, especially during the heat waves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those storms usually happen in the afternoon,â&#x20AC;? said Villanova. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have our computers hooked up to the radars to track developing thunderstorms. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to send anybody out if it looks like a storm is going to hit us.â&#x20AC;? He said that while the business is open from April to Thanksgiving, sailing rentals run from the middle of May through September. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once we get into September, the rental activity is mostly weekends,â&#x20AC;? he said. Then during the winter, the staff updates and maintains their ďŹ&#x201A;eet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We make sure that the boats in our rotation are 3 years old or younger,â&#x20AC;? Villanova said. According to the marinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, the business has existed since the mid-1950s, and enjoyed tremendous prosperity when it was owned by Harry Marti and Don Wood in the late 1960s and 1970s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The property size has been reduced over the years due to subdivision and development,â&#x20AC;? the site says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A coalition of local boat owners, Harvest Cove Associates, saved what remains of the property. Now operated by Paul Rice, Kim Leary and Jeff Villanova. We have put the marina back on the map as a boating fun center.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Eric Englund ericenglund@thesandpaper.net

ome like it hot, some like it not. Whatever the preference, both novices and veterans on the mat will ﬁnd a niche at the new Hot or Not Yoga studio in Manahawkin. “Even if you’ve never done yoga, don’t be intimidated; there are classes for everyone,” said owner Sam Kelly. “We cater to beginners. All of our instructors are great with beginners.” Classes are offered every day, from 6 a.m. through the evening hours, in two spacious yoga rooms.

Kelly, who has also owned Kapler’s Pharmacy in Beach Haven for 10 years, and runs a company focused on creating medications specific to an individual – for hormone therapy, pain therapy, vitamin supplementation and skin problems – sees all her enterprises connect to helping people find greater well-being. She hopes to introduce more area residents and visitors to yoga, to spread the word about this healthy release, the route to “a more balanced lifestyle.” “I think it’s my own quest for balance that led me here as well,” she added. Kelly’s first foray into yoga was via a few private classes with Jodi Laskiewicz – now an instructor at

Hot or Not Yoga – and then hot yoga sessions, which she liked for “all the detox aspects, as well as the stretching, and getting the blood ﬂowing.” She believes “the group experience is priceless” in regard to yoga, and aims to provide this experience to anyone and everyone interested in yoga, whether Power Vinyasa Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Restorative Yoga or otherwise. “At Hot or Not Yoga, we have created a studio of empowerment and diversity.

A Collectors’ Paradise

JEM’S Sports Cards & Collectibles A Hit With Young and Old Alike By JIM DE FRANCESCO t is a rare baseball fan who has never purchased a pack of baseball cards, but not every fan becomes a serious collector. Whether you have never started a collection or are a veteran collector in this hobby enjoyed by millions, the owners at Jem’s Sports Cards and Collectibles in Little Egg Harbor Township have opened their doors to share advice, show their collectibles and discuss cards, comic books and more. Friends for more than a decade, Mike Keller, Jack Sears and Ed O’Donnell have bonded through their shared love of cards, comics and sports collectibles of just about every type. They opened their shop across from the RiteAid on Route 9 South this past July and are greatly enjoying the experience. Sears puts it this way: “We simply want to rekindle the fun of collecting for today’s young people, as well as serve the many existing collectors throughout the area. We love what we do and want to share it with others.” According to Keller, baseball cards have been around almost as long as professional baseball itself. In the beginning, he explained, baseball cards were packaged as a “bonus” with other products such as tobacco, candy or gum in order to boost sales of those products. This was true of all the early cards issued, from 1869 through the 1930s. The store has several displays of older and newer baseball cards that are worth viewing. During World

Yoga Continued from Page 46 comfortable spaces in which we can practice, relax, unwind and renew.” There are spaces both in front and in back of the studio to sit and talk, or to just be – “to take some time with a friend or by yourself,” said Kelly. The backyard garden area offers a quiet, restful area shaded by trees, as well as the “spin shed,” with bikes for spinning. Last Thursday afternoon, a few weeks after the studio’s Aug. 1 opening, instructor Jenn Kretzer was preparing to teach an hour-long “core” class in what Kelly calls “the Dragonﬂy Room.” On the other side of the building, “the Sun Room” was heating up to 105 degrees in anticipation of a later hot yoga class – the only hot yoga offered in the greater LBI area. Examples of hot yoga classes offered at the studio include the “Hot 26” Bikram-style yoga class, and Absolute Hot Yoga, which Kelly said is “Bikram-style with some variations.” Both sessions are 90 minutes. “I’m really happy you guys are here,” Kaylan DeRiso said to Kelly and Kretzer when she came in that day for a class. DeRiso practiced yoga when living in New York, and when she recently moved back to Ocean Acres in Stafford Township, she was glad to ﬁnd a studio that offers hot yoga in addition to less sweatinducing sessions. “I feel like I get a better workout with hot yoga.” She also prefers taking a class

War II, the production of baseball cards came to a virtual halt due to a paper shortage. Production was resumed in 1948 by Bowman Gum Co., beginning the modern era of card production. Bowman produced cards through 1955, Sears added, being joined by Topps in 1951. For many years, Topps was the only company to produce cards, and there was only one set produced by a given company in a year. In the 1980s there was a revival of interest as companies such as Fleer and Donruss got back into the business, and many adults joined in a hobby that had previously been thought of as a “kid thing.” In 1989, a new company, Upper Deck, started operations, touching off the era of “premium”-quality cards. Currently there are four companies licensed to produce cards of Major League players: Topps, Fleer, Donruss/Playoff and Upper Deck. Each company produces a large number of different sets each year, ranging from basic to vintage to “super-premium.” There is a card for just about any taste. When most people begin collecting baseball cards, they simply go to their local store and pick up a pack of cards of whatever brand and set interests them. Eventually, however, a collector will begin to focus on particular goals for his or her collection. And with so many cards being produced these days, a collector has a lot of options for focusing on a collection, most notably coming in to the JEM’s shop to see the many items available. “When we first started,” Sears said, “you’d go into the local sweet shop rather than yoga at home, solo. “I feel the atmosphere, the energy of everyone, motivates people more.” The schedule of classes offered at Hot or Not Yoga is posted on the studio’s website, as are bios of the instructors: Stefani Mills DeSatnick, Robin Conover, Cerra Kelly and Sue Seiter in addition to Kretzer and Laskiewicz – which includes information about training and certification excursions to, for example, Thailand (Laskiewicz), Costa Rica (Kelly) and Level One Bootcamp with Baron Baptiste (DeSatnick), as well as their approach to the practice of yoga. For Seiter, “her passion is to help her students find balance, awareness and peace through her teachings both on and off the mat.” In Conover’s classes, the focus rests “on energy and consciousness, compassion, growing the stretch, the edge of sensation, and most importantly, living fully alive from the fruits of the practice with unleashing power in our everyday lives!” Private lessons are also available at the studio for those who would like to work one-on-one with an instructor. And, as Hot or Not Yoga grows, the studio plans to offer teacher training, assisting programs, retreats and workshops for all types of yoga, as well as fun community events. A beginner yoga series – consisting of eight classes – begins next month. Also coming up at the studio, from 8-9 p.m. every Thursday, Sept. 27-Nov. 15, Lois Allen will teach ballroom dancing – salsa, cha cha, rumba, waltz, foxtrot and more – for Continued on Page 55

with your allowance and buy several packs. Each pack came with a thick slab of bubble gum, which we’d stuff in our cheeks to emulate the chewing tobacco major leaguers would use during games,” he said with a chuckle. Now the three partners are sharing their respective fields of expertise with their neighbors and customers. “We researched the area and found there was no other collectors’ store nearby,” Sears continued. “One of us, Mike Keller, already had considerable success with Mikey’s Cards in Tuckerton, and we knew our new location had potential for an expanded market, perhaps including Internet sales all over the world on eBay.” These guys remain passionate about encouraging youngsters to become immersed in the worlds of trading cards, comics and sports items in general. “Between the three of us, we have different personalities, plus 20 years in age difference between us from 43 to 63, so we can reach out to all ages and answer most questions,” O’Donnell said. “Each of us owe a big debt of appreciation to the Lighthouse Alliance Community Church, which granted us an adjacent space for our store front,” Keller said. “They’re simply the best.” “Would we do this again? No question about it,” Sears interjected. “This isn’t work at all. It’s our collective dreams come true!” Jem’s Sports Cards & Collectibles, at 461 Route 9 South in West Tuckerton, is open Monday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Tuesday, 3 p.m. until 7 p.m.; Wednesday, 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.; Friday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturday, 11 a.m.

A Sad Delay for Holgate; Bash-and-Run Seems OK I

t’s Labor Day and although labors never end here in the newspaper business, they do take on a slightly better attitude as the Island drains a bit. For a slew of us, this weekend carries the same exciting feel many/most folks get on Memorial Day weekend – and a launch into summer. For the outdoor sects, fall hosts cool air, free-to-fishing beachfronts, easy get-arounds on roadways and serious-grade gamefish – and that’s all before noon. As many businesses sum things up, I want to give a sincere shout-out to the heart of our summer work corps – the working kids and collegians. Once again, you kept our wheels of business turning. Without those whirling wheels we’d be up the economic creek, paddle-less. And I leave you with this thought: Money can’t buy everything – due, in large part, to museums. HOLGATE DELAYED OPENING: So many of us were fully fired up – to the point of spontaneous combustion – in anticipation of this coming Saturday’s grand reopening of the Holgate beachfront (adjacent to the Edwin B. Forsythe Wildlife Refuge Holgate Wilderness Area). Then we got royally doused by news that the reopening has been bumped to the following Saturday – if then. Woe is I. This buggying setback is the result of astronomically high tides and that dastardly, ongoing erosion. And it’s not like Long Beach Township is happy about this. Parker and guys have worked their asses off trying to keep the access open. They’re literally fighting the sea itself. For the township’s part, the commission and public works will once again be meeting with DEP representatives – on-scene, at the Holgate entrance. It’s mainly an ironing out process, trying to figure what sand-moving repairs are legally allowable and/or what can be done in an erosion emergency, such as this. While I’m hardly one to wax optimistic in such situations, I think the government is on our buggying side. I know, via personal chats with Army Corps manger Keith W., that the Corps is always more than ready to rush in and sand-save the day – albeit after they get officially assigned and funded. Keith and I fully concur that there is sand, almost beyond measure, right off the tip of Holgate. We call that area the shoals. And that whitewater zone has been problematically expanding for the past 20 years. It could use being brought down to size. Methinks Holgate will see a DEP-OK’ed quick-fix way before a fed-fix. Can a fix come in time to save this fall’s fishing season? A quick-fix, maybe. By the by, there is now a boating sector that wants badly to see a channel form in Holgate, convinced that’s the only way to get water flowing bayside, reopening channels there. Why the hell can’t we simply dredge the bay’s ICW and transfer the sand onto the Holgate beachfront – allowing all segments of angling to enjoy life? Talk about a frickin’ war: Boaters striving to get an inlet across Holgate versus surfcasters wanting their God-given Holgate fishing terrain kept available. Let’s not even go there right now – in the name of the late, great Congressman Forsythe. PADDLES AND FINS: Paddleboarding and water watching are a perfect together thing. Just be aware that among the things to be seen when paddling the bay are sharks, including some larger models. This has become apparent through half a dozen e-mails I’ve gotten from folks paddling lazily along to look back and see they’re not alone.

The utter quietness of a traveling paddleboard, along with a draft measured in inches, allows water watchers to glide atop marine life that would bolt even from the quiet likes of a kayak. But the big perk from paddling is the perch. In a standing position, it’s amazing how much you can see down below, especially when wearing “fishing” sunglasses. As for those sightings, mainly near inlets, I can assure those sharkacious meet-ups hosted no danger to the paddlers – although all of the sighted paddlers headed landward as fast as their balance would allow. Along with their blatant curiosity for all things afloat, sharks are also well aware that forage fish swarm beneath floatables. I also credit sharks with knowing that shadows created by the likes of passing paddleboards spook bottom-hiding fish, offering a meal on wheels. I hope to get some serious paddling in this fall – GoPro Hero 2 “Surf Edition” camera, in hand. BASKET-TOP SHARK ESCAPES: During decades of clam treading the bay, other bay boys and I saw many a big shark suddenly dorsal up in the dark waters around us. I now appreciate those sharks were either taking advantage of the turbidity we were creating – to seek small prey – or were high-tailing it across the shallows to escape our bottom-scratching approach. Of course, as kids we were taught that even a fleeing shark fin meant only one thing: “Shark attack!” And that’s just how we announced any and all fin sightings. With that shout, we would instantly respond in just about the dumbest way possible. Splashing like crazy people, we would begin to run back toward our oft-far-off boats – though never once letting go of our inner tubes with the metal baskets within. Those were the tough-to-find tools of our trade, plus, they had lifesaving usefulness when under attack. If our boats were way-aways at the onset of an “attack,” we’d first bolt like muddy bats outta hell, then quickly slow to a dull trod, before coming to a heaving stop. Hey, just try running in mud, through waste-deep water, dragging a basket, with a shark hot on your heels. Even adrenaline finally says, “Screw this.” It was then we’d resort to Plan B. (This is all gospel truth). Plan B was the renowned basket climbaboard escape. You’d push your metal wire basket underwater, then climbed atop it. If it had a load of clams inside, you could get pretty high out of the water. If not, it sunk but the metal basket served as an improvised metal shark cage around your legs. Since we rarely practiced this Plan B balancing act, it would often take a few tries to properly climb aboard. More than a few of us would awkwardly climb aboard, lose balance and crash-splash back into the water. That was frantically followed by a retry, this time leading to forward face-plant into the water. Had a shark really been attacking… There were times you’d see a whole slew of clammers all standing atop their sunken baskets, looking around like a buncha nervous meerkats. There really wasn’t an all-clear to a “shark attack!” Usually the perpetually biting greenheads – impossible to smash when teetering – sparked a fairly quick immersion back to treading normalcy – except in the case of Old Joe. Old Joe was rail-thin, grizzled and always wore long pants while treading. At even the hint of a “shark attack!” he would lumber atop his basket. There, he’d tap into a cellophanewrapped pack of ciggies and nonchalantly smoke a Camel down to his tar-coated fingertips. We’d all be back in the water, look over, and see his tall, scraggly, sun-ravaged form, seemingly standing on the surface of the water, all prophetlike. He’s long gone but that image sure lives on.

Irritable Inlet Syndrome Winds Make All the Difference BUMP: As seasons begin a switch-over, Barnegat Inlet will see summer’s predominant south winds give way to honking westerlies, which can kick things up, especially when coupled with stormy ocean swells. Still, with the roughness come the bass and blues. A fair trade-off. NEAR DEADLY WAKE UP: This world is weird. Present company excluded. And some of the weirdest of the weird comes in the form of laws. A weekend boating accident highlights a truly insane N.J. statute regarding sailboat collisions. Glenn Schroeder, captain/ owner of the fairly famed 48-foot Abeking and Rasmussen Jacunda, came face-to-face with this bizarre law – and he’s a hurting cowboy because of it, as is his vessel. Early Saturday morning, Glenn was moored in Myers Hole, just inside Barnegat Inlet. He was sleeping that peaceful, lightly rocking slumber offered by life atop the bay. At 5 a.m., he received the proverbial rude awakenings, as the bow of a 40-foot, under-power sailboat smashed through the midship of his anchored – and well-lit – vessel. Remember, we’re talking Myers Hole here, famed mooring area for sailing vessels from around the world. It’s usually as peaceful a piece of deep-water bay as you’ll find anywhere. Stunned, rustled and rousted from the impact, Glenn looked over to find the intruding stem of the boat’s bow had smashed its way onboard, only inches from where he was lying. The battering-ram bow had splintered the Jacunda ’s handcrafted woodwork, opening a huge hole and sending many of Glenn’s prized possessions flying. Struggled topside, Glenn found the elderly male captain of the invading vessel now gunning its engine in reverse, essentially trying to extricate his sailboat. Continued on Page 52

Continued from Page 50 Glenn commenced to verbally identifying himself to the other vessel’s pilot – adding some duly heated comments about the situation. Per Glenn, the captain of the ramming vessel displayed a wanton unwillingness to discuss the collision. In fact, he persisted with his high-rev reverse effort. Realizing something wasn’t quite right with the captain’s unwillingness to let off the gas, Glenn called the authorities. Over at the nearby Coast Guard Station Barnegat Light, the emergency horn rang out and the federal boys in blue masterfully mustered – as they always do. At about the same time, the smash-happy sailboater managed to break his vessel free of the Jacunda. To the astonishment of Glenn, the captain didn’t power down to discuss the situation, but threw it into forward. “He just merrily pulled away. He passed inches from my bow,” Glenn said, when I chatted with him after the ugly incident. In the short time it took the Coast Guard to reach the scene, the attack vessel had nonchalantly motored off. If ever there was a case of blatant hit-and-run, this was it – or so one would think. Egged on by the obvious damage to Glenn’s boat, the Coast Guard and rapidly responding State Police Marine Division officers managed to corral the less-than-zippy sailboat before it reached the ocean. When boarded, the 81-year-old captain of the vessel stunned the savvy law enforcement folks by claiming he had no idea what they were talking about. According to Glenn, the officers, both state and federal, weren’t buying it. However, when it came to citing the elderly captain, the “bizarre” side of things set in. Seems the captain had done absolutely nothing wrong by hightailing it from the accident scene. While both Glenn and I felt that bash-andbolt aspect seemed the most heinous – and most punishable – angle of the entire potentially deadly incident, there is a N.J. statute that says you can legally sail from a sailboat accident providing no one is injured and you report it within 14 days. “He could be down in Florida in 14 days,” noted Glenn. Glenn brought up the far scarier aspect. “How could he know that someone wasn’t hurt? He never stopped.” In fact, a couple days after the jolt, Glenn was feeling aftereffects. He was about to make an appointment with a chiropractor. And then there were the headaches. Not the physical kind but the fiscal. Potentially, over $10,000 in damage had been done to the Abeking and Rasmussen masterpiece. The German-built yawl, vintage 1950, was custom-made for the then-CEO of IBM. It has since been perfectly maintained. In fact, it was in mint condition for this truly weird Myers Hole mishap. Uncertain of the exact dollar damage, Glenn is now looking for top-shelf woodworkers to make an estimate and affect repairs. To the credit of the stalwart sailboat, its hull was so strong it had actually fended off the other vessel’s bow, lifting it upward. The water integrity of the Jacunda was uncompromised. I’m told the captain of the other vessel was cited for violations other than the bash-andrun, despite his denial of involvement. Since I don’t have any of that official paperwork, I’m not going to guess at what charges, if any, were leveled. I’m mainly in a state of stunnedness over that simple “crash-and-run – call back within 14 days” statute. I could only imagine Glenn’s state of mind. “If that (bow) had come in any closer to me, I’d probably be dead,” he said. BAD MEMORIES: Even though we’re talking totally different scenarios, around here we’re all very touchy about vessels being rammed out of the blue. I’m referencing the hideous and deadly plow-under of the 20-foot recreational fishing vessel Rosie II, struck by the apparently auto-piloted, 60-foot Permission VI yacht, killing three of the four fishermen aboard the smaller boat. Permission VI was being operated by Barry Flowers, 62, Livingston, N.J. That took place in 2000 and still is all too fresh in our minds. Continued on Page 54

of its legs bent, sometimes called a belly run. These animals are so smart; I believe this one knows it sticks out in the light of day – but shines at night, so to speak. No seeing that sucker after dark. As oft noted, coyotes and coywolves are sometimes active in the early a.m. and late afternoon when feeding pups. In fact, coyotes in the wild are often crepuscular, most active dusk and dawn. When living near humanity, they are strictly nocturnal. Note: Always be very wary of any coyote, coywolf, or even fox out and about in the light of day. Such an out-of-character behavior has illness (including rabies) written all over it. An exception is when it’s trying to divert attention from nearby young. By the by, Black Coyote (by name) was a Lakota Sioux warrior who seemingly refused to give up his weapon at the Wounded Knee standoff, leading to one of the most heinous massacres in North American history. Although Black Coyote was no saint, he was, in fact, deaf. He didn’t realize he was being ordered to drop his weapon. In Native American culture, killing a black coyote is said to doom a hunter. RUNDOWN: There is an entire month to go in the fluke-hunting season. My workload is backing off so I hope to be among the many who are putting up insane amounts of fluke fillets for the winter. I don’t want to sound penny-pinching (I sure as hell ain’t, as my struggling checking account assures) but it’s astounding how much moola is saved by tapping into a cache of stored summer flounder come winter. It’s damn near a subfreezing Christmas Savings Account. By the by, folks are also putting away kingfish for future mealization. It stores exceptionally well but needs very careful packing. Vacuuming is the way to go – with most fish products. I got some pics of nice triggerfish taken by spear near Barnegat Inlet. I saw some very nice (eating-sized) black drum hook-and-line caught near the Big Bridge, Manahawkin Bay. I now believe the “striped” fish seen there by snorkelers are mainly drum, not sheepshead. I’m sure there is an occasional sheepshead somewhere near those spans. As I always note, the state record sheepshead was an astounding 17-pounds, 3-ounces, taken under the Big Bridge by Paul Lowe in 2003. Since then, a few others have been caught there, the largest around 8 pounds (photographed and released). While on the subject of state records, I always smile when I read the 11-2 pound state record spotted sea trout caught by a dearly departed buddy, Bert Harper – as cool a guy as you ever want to know. He caught that fish in Holgate back in 1974. I think we might see some spotted sea trout, a.k.a. speckled or spec trout, this year, due to the showing of so many other southern fishes this summer. I won’t get into the debate over sea trout and weakfish being the same fish. Not only are they

scientifically different – weakfish, Cynoscion regalis; sea trout Cynoscion nebulosus – but also they’re actually noticeably different in appearance. The sea trout is far less colorful, i.e. nebulosus. The weakfish lives up to its regalis scientific name, as in royally sparkling. Overall, weakfishing has gotten a tad spotty but they’re schooling up, so when you find them, they’re ready to rumble. BLOWFISH BAFFLEMENT: Many folks are baffled over how to get into the huge schools of blowfish now out there. It’s as baffling as fishing itself. Be it the luck of the draw – as in, where you stop and chum – or the help of those in the know, a goodly number of anglers are cleaning up (pun intended) on dozens and dozens of big fat puffers. Fisherman’s HDQ even has a little video on how to clean them. The problem is the puffers are mustering, meaning they’re either belly-to-belly below a vessel, or nowhere in sight. It often comes down to stop-and-pop. Zip from one hole to another – likely blowfish hangouts – chum some grassies (or whatever) and see what salutes. No show, then go. Once you hit the puffer jackpot, they come out like slot machine quarters following cherries. Y jaymann@thesandpaper.net

56 Continued from Page 21 Pell Grants â&#x20AC;&#x201C; This is a federal governmentfunded program that universities encourage to support their growth. The student gets suckered into large education debts by this free primer gift. One aside note, parents or grandparents who have co-signed a student loan will be liable for payment if the student defaults. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like this levy action, get a job in the White House. Thirty-six White House employees owe $833,970 in 2010 income taxes. I guess the lack of levy action is another of those presidential executive orders. William H. Rickards Ship Bottom

Stark Differences To the Editor: There has been much printed and said about the Ryan plan as it relates to Medicare, and especially as it relates to the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare. First, Republicans are stating that Obamacare is raiding $716 billion from Medicare to fund Obamacare. The fact is that the $716 billion is a projected reduction in future costs over the next 10 years. In other words, Medicare will spend $716 billion less due to cost-saving measures introduced by the Obama administration. A reasonable person may wonder if those projected cost reductions will hurt those on Medicare. The fact is that almost none of these savings will affect those on Medicare. However, it is interesting to note that if Obamacare is repealed, as Romney and Ryan have vowed, seniors with high drug costs will pay more because the infamous â&#x20AC;&#x153;donut holeâ&#x20AC;? will return. Plus, seniors will lose a variety of free preventive care options like immunizations, mammograms and colonoscopies. There is a stark difference between the vi-

sions of the two parties. The Democratic position on Medicare is: Keep Medicare as a guaranteed set of beneďŹ ts with the government paying its share even if the costs rise. Projected cost reductions (the $716 billion) will be borne by providers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; i.e., big drug companies, hospitals and other providers. Reductions will mostly come through creating efďŹ ciencies. The Republican position is: Limit government spending to a deďŹ ned level. Rely on untested market forces to drive costs down. If the voucher/premium support does not cover the cost of coverage, the individual senior must make up the difference or do without. At age 65, the independent Congressional Budget OfďŹ ce estimates that the out-of-pocket expenses for each senior are an additional $6,400. At 75, the additional cost is estimated at $12,000. At 77, $14,000. It should be noted that cost increases in Medicare have been much more modest than cost increases in the private insurance marketplace over the last few decades. This would mean that, in the absence of cost-saving measures, costs of the Republican plan would be likely to increase at a steeper rate than in the Democratic plan. Additionally, Obamacare extends the solvency of Medicare eight years, according to the independent analysis of the CBO. The upcoming election is hugely important in determining the kind of world we will live in. If you like Medicare as it is now, vote Democratic. If you want to go ďŹ nd coverage for yourself in the open market and pay $6,400 to $14,000 out-of-pocket each year, vote Republican. Karlyn Ippolito Surf City

Correction In the Aug. 15 issue, the music review â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bill and Andy Show Keeps Laughs Alive at Surf City Hotelâ&#x20AC;? stated in error that Andy Hladek is unmarried when, in fact, he is happily married to his wife, Debbie, of almost 30 years. The SandPaper regrets the error.

Gratitude and Joy To the Editor: As we now reopen after a long summer of restoration following an Easter Sunday ďŹ re, I feel that I must acknowledge the incredible support the Long Beach Island community has given The Gables Inn and Restaurant. I was immediately overwhelmed with gratitude that no one was hurt, thanks to calm patrons and the brave ďŹ reďŹ ghters who left their own holiday meals to salvage my treasured landmark building that has enriched downtown Beach Havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tapestry since the 1890s. I am also grateful to Island merchants who offered their spaces so we could host offsite events. Even competitors rallied around us. I also want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the contractors and subcontractors who dealt all summer with my painstaking attention to detail as we rebuilt and restored the historic Victorian building to its authentic grandeur. My deepest gratitude goes to the countless friends and even strangers who called or stopped by during reconstruction to offer their support and encouragement. Each kind word and deed inspired us during this trying time. Since reopening last week, I have seen many familiar and new faces of people popping in to celebrate with us. Luckily, LBI has a pretty thriving â&#x20AC;&#x153;shoulder season,â&#x20AC;? so I hope to share our special and renewed ambiance with even more old and new friends. I feel like each day is a family reunion. And thanks to LBIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique and generous community spirit, I feel like our family is even more extended than ever. Words really canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t express my sincere gratitude and joy to be a part of LBI life. Sondra Beninati, owner The Gables Beach Haven

They Put the ‘Happy’ in Halloween

Rasta Imposta Costumes Return to Local Center For Halloween Comedy By MICHAEL MOLINARO t is almost that time of year that follows Labor Day when Tina Berman, owner of The Mod Hatter in Beach Haven, starts bringing in Halloween costumes to sell for the spooky annual holiday. Instead of scaring people however, the purpose of these designs is to make people laugh. They are made by the company she shares with her husband, Robert Berman – the man who invented the world’s ﬁrst fake dreadlock hat known as the Rasta Imposta. Today Rasta Imposta ships costumes catering to the college humor crowd all over the world from its headquarters in Runnemede, selling wholesale to countries including England, Italy, Spain and Australia. They have distribution deals with companies such as Party City and Wal-Mart, as well as smaller momand-pop stores, and they have licenses to make costumes for companies from Coca-Cola to Crayola. The headquarters employs 45 people and is made up of two buildings: one for design and a 20,000-squarefoot warehouse for shipping. Three hundred new designs are introduced each year, with as few as 300 and as many as 20,000 costumes created in each design. “We hire a lot of our designers right out of college and they’ve stayed with us,” said Robert. “They might live in funky parts of Philadelphia. It’s a fun thing, because we’re always pushing limits on costumes and hats.” “It’s a reality show waiting to happen,” said Tina. “We were actually approached by a company wanting to do a reality show on us, and we’ve said for years we’d be an amazing reality show but then we would implode. That would be the end of us. We would never actually do it, but we live in a reality show and we don’t make up the drama or the humor; it really is that silly. “Robert is usually the one that

comes up with the funniest thing and makes everyone laugh, a lot of which we probably can’t talk about.” The company keeps what it puts out there relatively clean, however. On the company’s website rastaimposta.com, one may be prompted to choose between G-rated or PG-rated categories while browsing through costumes. A giant beer, the “billion dollar baby” that helps your child resemble a hefty bag of cash, or the couples’ plug-in socket (which this year has been updated to a USB port and stick) costumes are some of the more controversial. “We push the limits a little bit, but at the end of the day we have to be able to go home and sleep well,” said Robert. “There are days that it’s very serious, just like any other business. And there are days that we look at the things that we’re making and we laugh all day,” said Tina. “When it comes down to it, it is a serious business. We could be selling anything. And it has the same trials and tribulations as any business, and has been affected by the economy. But we’re strong and creative and innovators in our industry. “It’s been a really interesting 20 years,” she continued. “Having the retail store as well has helped us in understanding the sensibilities of our costumers – that they are often small retailers – which has us be sensitive to our costumers needs. We use a lot of the fashion I’m in touch with here in our women’s designs as well. We try to keep them up to date, fashion wise, on costumes to appeal to young women buying costumes and remind them of what they might wear anyway.” Celebrities have worn Rasta Imposta, such as Brad Pitt, who along with one of his children donned the Jolly Green Giant and Little Sprout costumes one year. Katie Perry was a fried egg onstage, and Jack Osbourne was a taco. At its outset, Rasta Imposta was Continued on Page 61

DRESS UP: (Clockwise from top left) Rasta Imposta co-owner Robert Berman models some of the costumes available this year from its headquarters in Runnemede, including a parrot get-up. A designer takes a measurement on a new women’s dress idea from a distant time. Designers at their desks sew away at what could become the company’s next big Halloween hit. Berman sports a mug of beer with a hamburger hat and an icy cup of Coca-Cola.

A number of doctors associated with SOMC are nearing retirement and must be replaced, and there was a shortage in a couple of specialties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We only had one urologist,â&#x20AC;? said Coyle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having just one urologist limits our ability to serve the community.â&#x20AC;? He added that having just one doctor in a specialty also creates stress for the physician. He or she is constantly on call. If you have, say, three urologists instead of one, each would be on call just every third night, a situation that obviously relieves stress for doctors. Stress reduction is a key point in recruitment, especially with more than 50 percent of medical school slots now going to women. They tend not to live to work, but rather to work to live. In other words, they want to still be able to raise families and spend time with their children even though they are physicians. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With many more women going into medicine, things like lifestyle and family leave are very important,â&#x20AC;? said Coyle. Indeed, lifestyle is very important for men

raising families as well. SOMCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;lifestyleâ&#x20AC;? pitch, for example, was very important in attracting a new urologist, Deep B. Trivedi, MD, to the area and to SOMC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a young daughter,â&#x20AC;? said Trivedi, who recently moved to Toms River and is joining Manahawkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Atlantic Coast Urology group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Back yards, trees, parks, that was what I was looking for.â&#x20AC;? Trivedi, of Indian heritage (â&#x20AC;&#x153;people see my name and think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Italian,â&#x20AC;? he said, laughing) but raised in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Pennsylvania and his MD from Stony Brook University in Long Island. He completed his residency at the University of Rochester in upstate New York. The personable young physician said the size of SOMC and its connection with the surrounding communities made it attractive to him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I began the recruiting process a year ago,â&#x20AC;? said Trivedi. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looking for a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;clock-in, clock-outâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; practice (in a large group). I still found it romantic to hang a shingle. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Doctor-I-donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t-know-his-nameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;; I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be that kind of doctor.â&#x20AC;? So Trivedi had no interest in becoming afďŹ liated with a large regional medical center or an impersonal, big group practice. On the other hand, he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to go overly rural, working in a small, technologically backward community

hospital. SOMC, he thought, was like the Baby Bearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s porridge, chair and bed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just right. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this hospital is beautiful, state-ofthe-art,â&#x20AC;? said Trivedi. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here, you can work with a good system but be more personal.â&#x20AC;? Not only will Trivediâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrival give the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residents another choice of a SOMC-afďŹ liated urologist, but it will give some an only choice. The current urologist doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accept one of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest insurers, Horizon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be accepting a wide range of insurers, including Horizon,â&#x20AC;? said Trivedi. The other specialists attracted to SOMC, said Coyle, include two general surgeons trained in state-of-the-art minimally invasive procedures, an OB/GYN, a pain management specialist and two orthopedic specialists, one with a particular interest in the foot and ankle and the other specializing in shoulders. One doctor, said Coyle, was already â&#x20AC;&#x153;from the area.â&#x20AC;? The other seven are â&#x20AC;&#x153;coming out of training.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also recruiting heavily for primary care physicians,â&#x20AC;? said Coyle, who added there will be a tremendous need for them under Obamacare. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hardly any doubt about it, Obamacare or no, there is going to be a physician shortage in the United States in the coming years. SOMC seems to be getting ahead of the situation. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rick Mellerup

a small painting every day. Then she took on the administration of a plein air group associated with the Pine Shores Art Association in Manahawkin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the third summer season; it started in 2010. I was looking for a group to paint with. I knew there were plein air painters groups around and this area didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have one, so I decided to ďŹ ll the void. I belong to a couple other groups, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here all summer. In the fall and

the spring I paint with the Plein Air Painters of the Jersey Coast in Middletown and the River Rats in Lambertville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great camaraderie of artists here. Everyone gets along; it creates a guild-like atmosphere.â&#x20AC;? Bonanni recently dropped her obsession to do a painting a day now that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focused on creating bigger paintings in her studio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of time I keep my plein air paintings and use them for reference in the studio,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I only have one or two plein air paintings in the show, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;How You Brewinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at Viking Village,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Boat Ramp in Barnegat Light.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I painted that in two sessions, I did an under-painting and went back to get the true colors of the water and the marsh the second day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d call my style â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Realistic Impressionism.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I like color, I like vibrating color. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always looking for light. And I always look for something unique about a place, something that gives Long Beach Island a sense of place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the light on LBI is different, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been other places, like the coast of California, that has superior light. But I see superior light around the dunes in Barnegat Light. I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I come down here a lot, especially in the fall and winter when a lot of the humidity clears out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the sky paintings that I do, I do from my back porch in Surf City. I was looking at a cloud today coming over the bay and wished I had time to stop and take a photo.â&#x20AC;? Bonanni said her family is very supportive of her artistic career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I stopped creating watercolors because I got really busy with my kids here on the Island. We did sailing and swimming, and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really have time to concentrate on art, and now that they are older I have more time for it. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really grateful for that.â&#x20AC;? Englesenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Research Infuses Her Art Cathleen Engelsen is noted for her paintings of historic subjects that she thoroughly researches; many are painted using her giant collection of old family photos of the area.

Engelsen has had a productive year, she said in an e-mail to The SandPaper. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working on watercolors, and in February I painted the Beach Haven School. I made prints of this painting and sold them to the alumni. I also attended the school from second through sixth grades. I was invited to speak to the art classes at the school, and I also presented a print to the school for their 100th anniversary party. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In March I painted the LBI Trailer Park, which was a lot of fun to do. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve recorded the landmark trailer park with my camera for years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I was invited to participate in the Dart for Art (a fundraiser for the LBI Foundation of the Arts and Sciences in July), I immediately thought of all my old memories of the Foundation from the 1950s and decided to paint it as it looked then and donate to the Dart for Art. It took some research, but George Harkness, formerly of Ship Bottom, lent me a beautiful postcard from his collection of the Foundation circa 1960s. The LBI (Historical Association) Museum had photos, and I tapped into the Foundation as well for my research. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The SurďŹ&#x201A;ight (Theatre) was next, and it is different for me in that it is an up-to-date SurďŹ&#x201A;ight and not the old tin-roofed, Joe Hayes theater we remember so fondly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the LBI Museum art show, I chose the Victoria Cottage to paint and enter. This cottage-turned-B&B hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed much, and the simple Victorian lines called me.â&#x20AC;? On Saturday, Engelsen plans to hang her clothesline exhibit of her original watercolors of the area and also bring some of her larger oil paintings of the Lit Brothers store in Philadelphia and the Barnegat Light Independent Dock. She will also have a print bin with prints and framed renderings of Barnegat Lighthouse in different sizes. This special â&#x20AC;&#x153;Local Colorsâ&#x20AC;? event and meetthe-artists reception at North End Trilogy will be from 3 to 7 p.m. Saturday at the corner of Broadway and Fourth Street.

the new education reforms is in teacher tenure. He said the new law would include a four-tiered evaluation system for teachers, where they could fall in a range of ineffective, partially effective, effective and highly effective. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Currently, a tenured teacher losing his or her job is usually the worst of the worst,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But with the new law, if a teacher is rated ineffective for two years in row, the superintendent can ďŹ le tenure charges.â&#x20AC;? Yaple said that out of 115,000 teachers in the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public schools, only about â&#x20AC;&#x153;a dozen or twoâ&#x20AC;? have their tenure charges cases decided by the state commissioner of education. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hearing process that can take up to a year,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But this new law will streamline the process and make teachers much more accountable.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Eric Englund ericenglund@thesandpaper.net

He said redevelopment allows a local government greater ďŹ&#x201A;exibility in working with landowners in determining what development takes place on that property. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It allows a partnership to occur between public and private entities in addition to public input with regards to development of lands within the boundaries of the redevelopment zone. Regardless of the eventual owner of the Shoreline property, the township will work closely with them to make sure any future development is consistent with the vision of the township and compatible with the surrounding neighborhood.â&#x20AC;? Township Committeeman Len Morano said he would favor a â&#x20AC;&#x153;light industrial park.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The last thing I want to see there is another residential development,â&#x20AC;? said Morano. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already too overdeveloped. Since the Shoreline site was being used for industry, we should continue that and bring in some much-needed ratables to the township.â&#x20AC;?

Continued from Page 58 focused on expensive, rental-quality costumes and came out with the ﬁrst “pimp suit,” made of purple swirl fabric with cheetah print and a red boa and zebra hat. It was a hit, sales wise. A year later, other manufacturer competitors came out with cheaper retail versions. “Ours were $75, theirs were 20 bucks a piece,” said Robert. “In order for us to stay competitive, we had to go overseas. So many of our retail costumes are made in China, and that has kept us competitive. We work with different factories in China.” Still, the Bermans are happy to have at least one factory here in the States. Robert remains hopeful for expansion here in the States, and a possible manufacturing revival. “American manufacturing may be on the up rise because it’s getting expensive overseas. There are less manual labor jobs in China and more going to college and getting careers, and less of the factory worker.” Unlike their competitors, Rasta Imposta prefers to remain creative and not copy ideas from other companies. “I don’t think you have to jump on the bandwagon. The ‘green man’ (full body spandex) skin suits they came out with a while back? One company did it and a year later every company had their own version of it. We didn’t do it. We thought that it was creative and whoever ﬁrst came out with it deserved the opportunity to sell it.” Both Rasta Imposta and The Mod Hatter have been around 20 years now, and it all started

with an Island romance among two hat lovers, $20, and a beer. Tina, 43, and Robert, 45 now live happily married in Haddonfield, but met 20 years prior while working and living on LBI for the summer, when Robert created his first dreadlock hat known as the Rasta Imposta. “Not many white guys have dreads,” said Robert, describing the first time wearing the hat out to the Ketch in Beach Haven. “I wore sunglasses and it was a neon orange LBI baseball cap that I sewed the dreadlocks to. Finally I took the hat off and people just swarmed to me, saying they had bets on whether they were real or not. I sold my first one for $20 and a beer.” Meanwhile, after working several summers on LBI at places like Breezin’ Up in Beach Haven, Tina opened a hat cart at a store in Schooner’s Wharf in Beach Haven. She had noticed people often asking for hats and not knowing where to get some, especially those with flowers attached to the brim, made popular at the time by television’s “Blossom.” Her plan was to spend that last summer on LBI and move to Philadelphia to pursue a career in architecture, for which she had acquired her college degree. “My dad tried selling her the Rasta hat. I was too embarrassed and thought, ‘She’s not going to be interested,” said Robert. “During that summer, she thought I was cute. She didn’t want to sell the hat but she liked me. I wanted her to sell the hat, but I didn’t like her.” By the end of the summer, the two started dating. Tina moved to Philly and Robert to Cherry Hill, where he started churning out the dreads. Tina had a job in architecture but continued selling hats and gifts at a nearby mall.

In January 1993, Rasta Imposta did its first trade show in New York City. They placed their first large orders, including 36 hats to PolyGram Records to use at a promotional event for Bob Marley’s Legend album release. Both Robert and Tina continued to sell more and more hats each year. Tina eventually opened the first Mod Hatter store, while a demand from Robert’s customers for new products led to the company’s creation, retaining the name Rasta Imposta in honor of its first piece of merchandise. “There was a time the dreadlocks were just a part of what we were doing and we were considering changing the name to R.I. Products, or something like that. But people knew the name, they love it, and they know Rasta Imposta stands for humor and fun – the creators of the humor category in Halloween.” Almost a third of the costumes produced by the company are licensed products for companies like M&M Mars and Chiquita Banana. “It’s a way to grow a business and protect it by making sure no one is copying your designs.” Rasta Imposta is even starting to acquire licenses for movie characters such as the main character from “Ted,” a hit comedy from earlier this year. Robert expects the full bear suit to be a popular item this Halloween, along with the Coca-Cola costumes, Gumby costumes and trophy head costumes (which Robert said are always popular), Bacon costumes for all ages, and even dog costumes in the form of Crayola Crayons and Tootsie Rolls. Though Halloween is the holiday secondhighest in spending, behind Christmas, selling costumes to people’s dogs is one of the ways

Rasta Imposta is ﬁnding ways to do business throughout the year. They also create “waver” costumes for businesses like restaurants that hope a human hot dog, lobster, or even a frozen yogurt will be enough to convince costumers to stop in. And they produce affordably priced mascot costumes for a minor league baseball team, as another example. “People say, ‘What do you do the other 364 days of the year?’” said Robert. “We’re designing for 2013 now. We have trade shows from November to January. We send samples off from February to May, and have orders placed and ship from May to September. Although it’s one day, it’s a 12-month job.” Costumes including the “Ted” bear suit will be featured again this year at The Mod Hatter’s tables at the Sept. 29 Merchant’s Mart, an annual massive sidewalk sale in the park behind the Taylor Street ﬁeld in Beach Haven, where Chowderfest takes place the following day. “The costumes have become synonymous with Chowderfest,” said Robert, who introduced a popular clam hat last year. “It’s just a crazy, fun day. We sell $50 costumes for $10 that might be prototypes or things we had that we need to get rid of.” The Mod Hatter will also feature Rasta Imposta costumes and be open until November. Robert has watched costume trends go from people wanting something very high quality, to very budget-friendly, to very sexy. “Today they want the best value for their dollar,” said Robert. Sometimes, as he explained, they just want a laugh. “One of our best years was 2001, after 9/11, because people wanted fun and not gory and not scary. We put the happy in Halloween.”Y

Indoor or outdoor dining with music is your option. Had too many cold ones and need to go? The bathroom is steps away with everything you need. Maybe you’d rather take an open air cruise to your favorite waterfront restaurant... and bring a few friends, there’s room for 12! Yes, this beautifully maintained 1997 24ft. Maxum Cruiser could be the answer to those dreams, and at $11,500 it’s not a nightmare! Call 609-276-1884 to see if dreams come true.
