Republicans Seeking to Refocus On Preserving Traditional Family By FRED LAURENZO n the November election it is of vital importance to recognize that the family has always been the basic building block of society from time immemorial.The commitment of a man and a woman to raise children and instill in them the following values they will need to succeed in life is essential from generation to generation: • Strong work ethic, • Each member pulling his or her share, • Taking responsibility for one’s personal choices and decisions, • Dependence on self, not others, in going as far as one’s God-given talents will allow, • Importance of getting a good education, • Moral and religious values, • Respect for others, • Respect for life,

Better Connected To the Editor: Increasing employment opportunity is necessary; both political parties agree. Both private sector and public sector jobs are needed, although Republicans seem to speak almost wholly of private sector work. Can focusing on private sector jobs alone lift us to fuller employment? Much of the work society needs to be civil, safe and progressive is done by public sector work: public health, teaching and social work. And what is more important than police and firefighting? State budgets, facing the end of federal stimulus, have been unable to keep up with population growth; perhaps 500,000 jobs should have been added in these areas alone. Fiscal aid to states and local governments would be a direct aid source; the benefit to the whole community could be spread. The interconnectedness of federal, state and local governments should be supported, not diminished. Austerity in state and local budgets, some Continued on Page 8

• Living within your means, • Charity to the needy. The traditional family unit is now, however, seriously threatened in the United States as evidenced by 40 percent of all babies born out of wedlock, in no small part as the result of anything-goes lifestyles portrayed by television, Hollywood and magazines. As a result, three-quarters of U.S. annual welfare spending goes to single parents. Children without fathers are likely to be poor, in the bottom of their school classes and suffer emotional and behavioral problems. This situation creates poverty from generation to generation and ever more dependency on government. As a traditional family with six children and 13 grandchildren, my wife and I have the following concerns in this regard: • Trillion dollars plus deficits run up each year by this administration, resulting in a mountain of debt to be passed on to our children and grandchildren despite Obama’s pledge to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term; • Unemployment rates higher than 8 percent in every year now affecting some 23 million Americans; • Having to subsidize the 50 percent who pay no income taxes, • Dependency on the government for a living versus taking personal responsibility; • That fathers siring children out of wedlock are not held responsible to support them; • The “war on religion,” whereby this administration seeks to take the mention of God out of our motto, our coinage, our oaths of office, our Pledge of Allegiance as well as outlawing our National Day of Prayer and forcing religions to go against their beliefs; • Lack of respect for life by this administration’s funding of abortion with our tax dollars; • Administration efforts to take up to 55 percent of what hard-working American parents managed to put aside from their savings to leave to their children; • Administration efforts to heavily tax the

One seems to have disappeared recently. rewards of successful small and large businesses, which create millions of jobs; • Administration refusal to enforce U.S. immigration law and then by executive order granting amnesty to those who entered the United States illegally just to get their votes. The bottom line is that if the government would be run as a traditional family, it would not be in the terrible shape it is in today. These traditional family concerns will not be addressed, however, because this administration has pursued a policy of ever bigger government with ever more intrusive control over our private lives and businesses. In so doing, it has ignored this nation’s heritage as a nation under God founded by families seeking to avoid religious persecution and be given the opportunity, not the guarantee, to enjoy the fruits of their labors without having to depend on others and with a minimum of governmental control.

Sketches Capture Indelible Memories By GLORIA C. ENDRES here is an old saying that to see something as it truly is, you must draw it. Sketching has been a selftaught hobby of mine my whole life. Even as a child, for example, I copied human ﬁgures from comic books and once created my own 52-page comic book complete with two different stories. I have dabbled in oils and enjoy working with acrylics, but for plain, old, summer relaxation while sitting under a beach umbrella, for me nothing beats sketching. One of my frequent hangouts on Long Beach Island is The Haymarket shop in Ship Bottom. Though it is famous for its toys and hobbies, I go there primarily to look for art supplies. It has a wide assortment of pencils, brushes and sketch pads. My favorite medium is colored aquarelle pencils. Those are the kind you use to sketch a picture and then apply some water to create a transparent watercolor effect. Most artists use brushes, but

I prefer little cotton swabs dipped in water. Over the years, I have produced numerous watercolor sketches from different locations on the Island. They form a pictorial journal of times past enjoying the pleasures of Island life. One grand landmark subject, of course, is Old Barney, the historic red and white lighthouse at the Island’s northern tip. I have sketched it many times from different angles and at different times of the day. Inevitably I have included a human figure once in a while, especially my husband, Stan, sitting on various benches nearby. Once my subject was an unaware fisherman in a baseball cap with his line in the water over a railing with the lighthouse in the background. All good fun. Newly retired from teaching and enjoying an autumn day trip to the Island with my husband, I completed my rarest watercolor drawn from life: a monarch butterfly resting on the beach. Every September and Continued on Page 10

HAIL TO THE KING: The author sketched this picture of a monarch butterﬂy resting on the Beach Haven beach on Sept. 26, 1997. It is one of many LBI scenes she has preserved in sketch pads through the years.

Elephant in Room Or White Elephant? By NANCY JAMES lephant in the room or white elephant: Has the Grand Old Party painted itself into a corner by aligning itself with its extremist fringes, which seem to have transcended into being referred to as its base? I do not believe that its actual base is so rigid and invasive as the publicity purports. Has it simply been taken over by a noisy group that by puffing out its chest has laid claim to a party that previously was not so blindly at odds with all things non-GOP? A recent and quite telling statement by Sarah Palin is sadly revealing as to where the party is in its thinking, or lack thereof. Referring to having been mentioned in a speech at the Democratic National Convention, her response was as follows: “He diminished himself by having mentioned my name.” Some Democrats might agree, because many Americans of both parties continue to wonder at the credibility-sans-credentials that seems to be attributed to her. Even a strong supporter cannot help but laugh at such a ludicrous and desperate response. We are tired of a party that voted in a freshman class, sent it to Washington, and its marching orders were to do nothing to further progress under a Democrat president. Our country was facing great and real difficulties, both macro and micro in nature. In an effort to thwart re-election, everyday Americans were literally left to twist in the wind by intentional recalcitrance. This sort of passive-aggressive stance was at the expense of a majority of Americans. Those in Washington did not feel a thing. They had employment, health care and long, paid vacations. These difficulties were both acute and critical, including providing food for their tables, securing safe housing, and finding health care Continued on Page 8

Depressed spending on local and state levels causes the economy to suffer, also. Rescuing industries is more dramatic than improving social services, but they, too, need â&#x20AC;&#x153;rescuing.â&#x20AC;? It is the Democratic Party that understands, supports and works toward achieving healthy and effective inter-connectedness.

To the Editor: Motivated by the recent water bill received from Stafford Township and now a higher tax bill, I felt it was probably time to investigate exactly who is responsible for this ďŹ asco. It is common knowledge among the residents of Stafford that questions posed to the current sitting board members are never answered to anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s satisfaction or even acted upon. The Independent political party may just have some answers. Amazingly, they did. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are Staffordâ&#x20AC;? Independent voters club, a nonpartisan group of people who feel, as a community, we can do better politically, has answers. And, it is offering the residents of Stafford something unheard of, choice. If you have been a resident in this community previous to the last mayoral race, you can appreciate what the lack of a viable choice has done to our community. We have been held hostage by a group of self-serving individuals, the Block Team/ Gang, who have adroitly maneuvered our community into a $155 million debt. These are the people totally responsible for what is now happening. They have had a stranglehold on our community for almost 30 years. There is absolutely no one else to blame. We should all be vitally concerned. Our ďŹ nancial security is at risk. If you are complacent and apathetic about that, it is time to sit up and pay attention. We have been given an extraordinary opportunity to excise the cancer that we have been afďŹ&#x201A;icted with, namely, this present council. The Independent party is a group of moral, sincere individuals who care about the people living in our community. They are concerned about our water bills, and they are concerned about the rise in our taxes. This water bill is just the tip of the iceberg. A bond was acquired in the past by the Block Team and only the interest has been paid on it. It is now due. This sitting council is the Block Team/Gang. Is there a taxpayer among us who would give a credit card to someone and not check expenditures and payments? I doubt it. Actually, we do have a member of our community who is keeping track. This individual wanted

the CFO to be present at the board meetings so this extraordinary debt could be explained. The excuse was he works days and cannot attend night meetings! I hope the frustration and outrage are starting to gain momentum. If it is not, shame on us. This economy is affecting us all. We need to protect ourselves from these people who are self-serving: Iron-clad retirement packages, part-time worker retirement packages; packages for secretaries; lists of special interest groups and people who are being used to work construction in Stafford without bidding on jobs; closed door meetings within board meetings, excluding members who are deemed trouble makers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; translation: honest! The condition of the grass at the sports complex is not vital to my well-being; neither is the $200,000 portable stage bought in spite of the fact that such an apparatus is available for rent. Paying off a $155 million deďŹ cit is vital to my ďŹ nancial well-being. When these proďŹ teers retire with their undeserved retirement packages, do you think they will stay in New Jersey? Will they help with the debt they have incurred? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bet your future ďŹ nancial security on it. Do you think we owe these people a thank-you, by way of securing their ďŹ nancial future? We do not. On second thought, it is probably a blessing that the sports complex is such a priority with this board. Because of their incompetence, we will have a picturesque area to erect Continued on Page 10

Continued from Page 6 to beneďŹ t their families, not the greedy insurance companies. I appear to be one-sided in my argument, but I continue to be deeply offended by those who proceed with the idea that Americans who ďŹ nd themselves in need require guidance in the most personal aspects of their lives. The solutions that are offered by politicos seem to provide nothing more than a double-bind option to those less-fortunate citizens. For example, it deďŹ es logic to deny education to our youth as the consequences of carelessness. Children are having children who are being raised in motels, shelters and without enforced child support from errant fathers. I understand that one alternative is a repugnant choice to all of us, but it is not the only alternative. Prevention is found in education. However, if the cavalier attitude of our politicians is in favor of these children being born, we had better secure them decent housing, food, health care and child support enforcement. We cannot have it both ways. These children are not simply going to vaporize. They require schools, affection, respect and employment when they grow up. The GOP may perceive itself as the obdurate elephant in the room; however, its actions may cause it to become the non-functional white elephant whose ineffectual positions cause it to fade away.

Continued from Page 6 October thousands of monarchs migrating from Canada to Mexico along the Atlantic coast rest and nourish themselves on Long Beach Island. These hardy insects, with their distinct orange and black markings, depend on the Island as one of their temporary stops on this epic journey to their winter habitat. Some, like the subject of my drawing, will perch on the sand for long periods as if to catch their breath, which gave me ample time to study and duplicate its markings. A snapshot could not have accomplished the same effect as that close-up drawing. Notes added to the butterfly portrait date it in September 1997. Sea gulls, naturally, are ever-present. Observing them closely enough to draw their shapes and colors made me aware of how many different species there are on the Island. They come in a variety of sizes, colors and markings, from light tan to black and white. I have sketched them in all their peculiar poses, including what looks like a prayer meeting when they all sit or stand pointed in the same direction. Why do they do that? Drawing ocean water is the hardest to do because it, obviously, never stays still, forcing the artist to remember the shape of a wave after it has already crashed upon the beach. It has so many shades of green or blue mixed with foam depending on the temperature and the sunlight. The Atlantic Ocean near LBI is rather cold compared to resorts in southern climes, so it is darker in color. The most difficult part of depicting a realistic wave is its transparency. I envy fine marine artists such as Edouard Manet who could paint the ocean in all its transparent motion and beauty. One of my favorite sketches is a particularly colorful depiction of boats tied up in the bay near Polly’s Dock, next to the Boat House Restaurant in Beach Haven, where my family often dined. Bay water is easier to draw because it ripples instead of making huge waves like the ocean. I am not sure if it was the right thing, but it was fun outlining everything in that sketch in black ink. That took all the softness out of the watercolor, but it did seem to enhance the picture, particularly the words “Polly’s Bait Shop” on one of the wooden buildings on the dock. That composition still brings back memories of the tangy smell of the bay under pink and blue sunsets. One of my habits when staying in Beach Haven was to rise before my husband and take a “meditation walk” on the beach. The idea was to get there before anyone else and be one of the first to make footprints in the

sand that had been wiped clean by the prior evening’s high tide. One morning I took my sketch pad and pencils with me as I walked leisurely along the beach for several blocks and then retraced my steps. To my delight, there was the long, solitary trail my feet had imprinted on the sand. Opening my sketch pad, I immediately began to draw the view. It was mostly white beach with the shaded footprints and just the tops of a few oceanside motels and houses peeking over the dunes. But in the distance, early-morning bathers were already running toward a red umbrella. I caught it all as quickly as possible with my pencils and later swabbed it to create that watercolor effect. It remains a treasured sketch. Drawing people can be very challenging, to say the least. They also tend to move a lot. One time I noticed an elderly couple under an umbrella sitting close together, in intimate conversation, with the ocean behind them. They looked so peaceful and content in their own little world that I had to draw them. They never knew they were the subject of my pastime. Drawing my husband, Stanley, was so easy because he could stay almost motionless for long periods in his beach chair reading or taking a nap. There are many cherished sketches of him smoking his pipe and engrossed in one of his action detective books. Some of those sketches show him by the pool at the Engleside while other poses are on the beach or on the Barnegat Light pier. Even now, from memory, I can draw his clean, sharp profile. It is eerie maybe, but once in a history class in college I was doodling and drew an imaginary portrait of one of the founding fathers – just his profile. If you put that imaginary face next to one of Stan’s life sketches, they are very similar. A coincidence maybe, but one wonders about things like that. Another unusual coincidence happened on the day our daughter Claire took me to Beach Haven on my first wedding anniversary after his death. I brought my dear old art supplies with me. She sat in a beach chair and began to read while I sketched from my chair under the umbrella. Like her dad, she sat perfectly still, totally immersed in her book. When I was finished, I casually began turning the pages back to earlier sketches. From years earlier, there was one of Stan also reading in his beach chair. To my surprise, or maybe not so surprising, the pose and the angle of their heads and even the blue shirt on the back of the chair were almost the same. The only thing missing from Claire’s portrait was a pipe. What we see sometimes as we draw is truth itself. Y Gloria C. Endres lives in Philadelphia and has been a lifelong visitor to Long Beach Island.

Continued from Page 8 the tent city that we will be forced to live in, a la Lakewood, because of what these people have been allowed to do to us. We will not be able to maintain our homes or our lifestyle because of our tax burden. We can no longer be complacent or apathetic. Give this new group of moral, enthusiastic citizens of Stafford a chance to make politics in our community at last something that can work for all of us. After all, it is our money. Nothing is required of you, just a vote on election day and a desire to protect what you have worked your whole life for and currently are working for: your family and a secure ﬁnancial future. No politician has the right to take that away from us because of unprecedented greed. I hope you have questions.

To the Editor: In only a few weeks there is an important choice. A choice that will ultimately decide who leads our country for the next four years. There are many people completely ignoring the facts or just lying about the facts. It’s amazing how President Obama still has support. His policies have led to a weaker America and an awful, stagnant economy. Since Obama was sworn into office, there have been 495,000 more people unemployed, 15 million more people now on food stamps with 47 million food stamp recipients, the unemployment rate has not been below 8 percent, gas prices have gone up 107 percent, home values have dropped more than 10 percent, college tuition has gone up 25 percent, more than $6 trillion in federal debt, and middle-class income has dropped $4,000. President Obama’s record is awful. He said his stimulus would cut the deficit in half, and it has risen 51 percent since he took office. Now Obama and his supporters are running Continued on Page 12

Continued from Page 10 on division and distractions. Mitt Romney helped create Staples, Domino’s Pizza and Sports Authority, was the governor who turned his state’s deﬁcit into a rainy day fund, and rescued the 2002 scandal-ridden Olympics, leaving it with a $397 million surplus to fund future Olympics. Mitt Romney has had such a sucessful past and has been able to work sucessfully across party lines to get things done in Massachusetts. President Obama’s record has been a disaster, and if you think thousands more unemployed, millions more on food stamps, trillions more in debt and the lowest labor participation rate in three decades is leaving the country better off, you don’t really know what is going on. On Nov. 6 we need a real change to a leader with business experience to turn this economy around, not forward into an abyss. Brian Devlin Harvey Cedars

To the Editor: Monday, Sept. 24, we were heading south on Central Avenue in Ship Bottom, crossing the incoming Causeway when a vehicle traveling eastbound on the Causeway went through a red traffic signal and hit us broadside. T-boned, we were turned 90 degrees, vaulted a curb and came to rest in thick shrubbery as we made contact with a car parked in the Wawa parking lot. Pictures of the aftermath are available at: http:// barnegat-manahawkin.patch.com/articles/ ship-bottom-crash-victim-needed-to-cutfrom-vehicle. Fortunately, a Long Beach Township police officer was nearby at the time of the accident. Response by LBI responders was immediate. One of the responders (we think it was the police officer) entered our van via the tailgate and told Connie to stay still and not to move her neck. She was having difficulty breathing and was in pain if she tried to move her upper body. (Upon examination at Southern Ocean Medical Center, it was determined she had a fractured clavicle, a badly bruised right side and a severely strained rib cage.) The responder took her blood pressure and measured the oxygen content of her blood. He obtained an oxygen tank and had it hooked up in short order. He then sat behind her and told her he was going to cradle her head in his hands until they could get a neck brace on. He had me turn off the ignition and put in a call for fire department support. Shortly thereafter there was another responder behind me, holding my head until they obtained a second neck brace. Both responders stayed with us until it was time to remove us from the vehicle. Getting us out of the car took a bit of doing. First Connie was covered with a blanket as members of the Surf City Volunteer Fire Co., the extradition team for LBI, broke the glass in the front and sliding passenger doors, cut away the deployed airbags and used a power saw to cut through the door

Continued from Page 6 Today 79.5 percent of the U.S. population in the latest 2010 Census is reported to be Christian. This means that millions of eligible voters from traditional families will have the opportunity to reshape the future of this country for generations in November by voting for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. The Republican candidates will lead this country versus continuing down the road pursued by the present administration to spiritual and economic bankruptcy.

frame in order to open the door. At the same time, two responders were prying open the van’s hood in order to cut the battery cables to avoid a spark or inadvertent deployment of other airbags. Another responder was using a chain saw to cut the thick brush that was making it impossible to open the driver’s door. We were carefully placed on hardboards as we were removed from the vehicle. Head blocks were secured so we couldn’t move our heads, and we were moved to the ambulances that would transport us to the hospital. Both of us are certain other responders were tending to the driver and three passengers in the other vehicle with equal professionalism. Several months ago, a letter to the editor suggested more responders than necessary are utilized in emergency situations. We have no idea how many people responded to our accident, but in our opinion we ought to let the professionals determine the number and types of teams they need to get the job done. We sincerely hope all readers never experience a catastrophic accident. But know this, if it happens on Long Beach Island, you will be taken care of by an outstanding team of fellow citizens who are members of our police departments, fire companies, first aid squads and fire police. The fire companies, first aid squads and fire police are made up of volunteers, people you may never meet who give of their time to achieve and maintain a level of competence through continued training. Fellow citizens who in the middle of whatever they are doing stop and respond. Recently there have been letters to the editor suggesting that the Surf City siren should be eliminated. We respectfully disagree. Every time we hear the Surf City siren it is a continuing reminder that our volunteer responders have once again stopped what they were doing to help another citizen in need. A special thank-you to: Ship Bottom Police Department, Ship Bottom Fire Co., Long Beach Township Police Department, Surf City Fire Co. and EMS, Beach Haven First Aid Squad and Long Beach Island fire police.

Successful Sale To the Editor: The Friends of Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter would love to send out a huge thank-you for the very successful bake sale this year at Wally Mitchell’s Restaurant in Surf City. We were able to raise $2,600. The whole Island pitched in with enthusiasm to help us raise awareness about animals in need, raise funds to aid us in rescues, and our pet food pantry was given the boost it so needed. Keeping the pantry full is always tough, but so important. When struggling families have the means to feed their pets they are less likely to surrender them to the shelter. Keeping them home is our goal. We have many drop-off points. We thank all the people and businesses for contributing to our ongoing efforts. You are all so appreciated for taking the time out of your lives to bake, donate and volunteer. Please take some time and go to your local shelter and adopt your next pet, you’ll save a life.

Oktoberfest Sunday at Sea Oaks ks Raises Funds for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Patriot Roversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; errs eers rrsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ssâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

ktoberfest at Sea Oaks Country Club promises the German food, beers and festivity that come with the legendary name of Oktoberfest. The new event will also raise funds this year for a service dog organization for veterans, called Patriot Rovers. Folks who come to Oktoberfest on Sunday, Oct. 14, will get the chance to meet one of the trained dogs. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the country club at 99 Golf View Drive, off Route 539 in Little Egg Harbor, will host indoor and outdoor Oktoberfest activity. Free admission opens up to live music, craft vendors, games and a bounce ride for the kids, plus rafďŹ&#x201A;es and prizes. German and seasonal food and beverage will be available for purchase. On the buffet of German foods are knockwurst, bratwurst, hearty cheddar and ale soup, schnitzel sandwiches and chicken cordon bleu, among other tasty offerings. The array of sweets is just as tempting: chocolate Black Forest cake, German chocolate brownies, cookies, and the fall delight of caramel apples, plus popcorn and pretzels for snacking. Angela Mezzina, Sea Oaksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; special events coordinator, said that every year, the Oktoberord rdi fest funds for a charitable organizastt will wii raise w r tion. tioon. This T Th his is year, ye that good cause is Patriot Rovers, rescues and then trains psychiatric ers,, which whii h rre whi wh e service seervic ser i e ddo ice dogs dog ogs to be matched up with veterans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We We are aarre going to have an ex-Marine here withh her Rover dog between 10 a.m. her er Patriot Pa Pa and 3 p.m. m. The T organization rescues the abused

dogs from shelters and trains them m for f men m and women who have post-traumatic stress disorders, brain injuries and other conditions,â&#x20AC;? explained Mezzina, who learned of the organization while at a convention on other business in North Carolina. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each dog is named after a fallen soldier. The dog that will be coming is named (for) Josh â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Joshua Harris is his full name. He died in 2008 and was a Navy SEAL. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The neat thing about this is when service men and women meet the dogs, they get acclimated to each other. And whomever the dog is named after, they actually go meet the family of that fallen soldier. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty phenomenal.â&#x20AC;? More information about Patriot Rovers can be found at patriotrovers.org. The web site details that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Patriot Rovers is committed to rescuing, training, and deploying Psychiatric Service Dogs that will provide love and support 24 hours a day, seven days a week to veterans, in order to enhance their lives.â&#x20AC;? The dogs trained by the organization perform speciďŹ c tasks including bracing, getting help, operating lights and doors, retrieving, even dressing. These are all standard Service Dog tasks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted the Oktoberfest to help by raising money for an organization, and I love the idea of what they do,â&#x20AC;? Mezzina said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every year we will try to search out an organization and get a representative to come here on their behalf. For Patriot Rovers, Staff Sgt. Natasha Young-Alicea will be coming from Boston.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;M.S.

‘Feast for the Eyes: The Art of Food’

he Noyes Museum’s latest exhibit, “Feast for the Eyes,” mixes metaphors, adds spicy artist’s dialogue and makes art out of our preoccupation with food. Humor abounds in this show, especially in Jennie Trail Schaeffer’s appliance portraits. “I realized the relationship between machines and marriage while I filled out my wedding registry,” the artist states. “The appliances are icons or symbols of what a successful marriage might look like.” She portrays coffee pots and cake mixers as household saints, equipped with halo attachments. They are enthroned on vintage, 1950s step-stool kitchen chairs. Not to be caught in a sacrilegious act, the artist notes the halo was depicted in art prior to Christianity. “It can be found in Egypt and Ancient Rome to signify power, majesty and divine influence,” she notes. “Nomadic artist” Marisa Dipaola creates site specific-art. Her “Candy Wrapper Ball Gown” is stitched together from particular candy and snack wrappers she found on the streets of Cairo, Egypt during her residency there. Who knew that Cheetos were so popular in that arid country? In the past, Dipaola wore the yellow gown during an exhibit and it is quite tasteful. Patianne Stevenson also recycles materials for her sculptures. Her lifelike cupcakes, fancy petite fours and cheeseburger platter are all made out of recycled cardboard and presented under glass, as if to ward off a determined junk food junkie. Asuki Hishiki must have had fun finding and painting her malformed heritage tomatoes, naming them “Sir Lung” and “The Thinker.” The watercolors are precise and delectable. Robert Jackson has fun with the idea of a fruit “still life” in “Drum Roll Please.” He shows a Granny Smith apple preparing to shoot a toy rocket across a divide, a la Evel Knievel, while a red apple (Macintosh or Delicious?) plays a snare drum. Other artists panned the humor and instead served up eye candy. Giant candies so enticing they make our teeth ache, stick to Mike Bell’s oversized canvases for “Vintage Sweetness” and “Peppermints.” Cheryl Griesbach took a page from antiquity in her painting of a pineapple, “Home,” and her “Golden Fruit Falling.” These have the feel of late Northern Renaissance paintings. Lauren Schiller plums her childhood memories for the subjects of her small, nostalgic oil paintings. In “Solstice Portrait,” the artist portrays herself as Saint Lucia wearing a crown of candles surrounded by various food items – waffles, eggs, muffins and cereal – that seem to float about her head. Apparently

yellow foodstuffs are eaten during the festival of St. Lucia to ward off the blues. Two artists collaborated on giant photographs of Cinnamon Swirl bread slices. Susan Eder and Craig Dennis must have been slapping each other’s hands (no, no, no!) as they constructed the studio session. Did they toast each other afterwards?

he Barnegat Silver Liners senior group will be hosting an appearance by the Calendar Girls on Wednesday, Oct. 17, noon at the community center, located in the municipal complex on West Bay Avenue. The group consists of 12 dancers, along with a male and female singer. “We dance to a lot of jazz and tap tunes that would be very familiar to the audience,” said Gloria Watson, troupe member. “Some of us have had professional dance experience. We have others who have been dance teachers or dance with community groups. We have a wide range of experience.” Watson said the group undergoes several costume changes. “While we’re changing, the singers perform,” she said. “They do popular songs from the Big Band era and hits from the 1950s. We also have an emcee who tells jokes and introduces the dance team members. We all talk a little about ourselves and our background as dancers. Joan Buchanan, Silver Liners president, said tickets are $10 per person. Refreshments will be served. “Normally, we meet on Wednesdays at 10 in the morning in the community center,” said Buchanan. “But for a special event, we move it to noon.” For tickets, call Buchanan at 609-6986355. — E.E.

Discussions Focus on Woodrow Wilson

efore he became the 28th president of the United States, Woodrow Wilson was governor of New Jersey and president of Princeton University. Because of that, people are likely to identify him with the Garden State. But Wilson was born in Virginia in 1856 and his parents were from Georgia. His political thinking was strongly inﬂuenced by the pre-Civil War South, and that will be the focus of a two-part lecture/discussion series at the Barnegat Branch of the Ocean County Library on Tuesdays, Oct. 16 and 23, at 7 p.m. Patricia H. Burke, former curator of the Ocean County Historical Society Museum, will be the guest speaker for “Woodrow Wilson: On Race and Gender.” She said the talks are based on a 2009 biography of Woodrow Wilson written by John Milton Cooper Jr. Burke said that in the book, Wilson is described as a transformative president, one who helped create the regulatory bodies and legislation that preﬁgured the later New Deal, and also led to the establishment of the Federal Reserve system and the Clayton Antitrust Act.

Yet Wilson also resisted progress for civil rights, Burke said. “As a child he saw how the Civil War devastated the South,” she said. “He viewed slavery as something that was benign.” Burke noted that one time, New Jersey native Alice Paul and other suffragettes were picketing in front of the White House. Wilson had the protesters “arrested and thrown in jail.” “President Wilson was not only against women voting, he didn’t think some men should vote, either,” said Burke. “He felt that one should have acquired a decent amount of wealth or be a landowner to have the right to vote.” Burke said she would tie that in to movements in some states for people to show valid photo IDs before casting ballots. She said such a move was recently blocked by a judge in Pennsylvania. “Something like this might keep poor people and others from being able to vote,” she said. For more information, call the branch at 609-698-3331. —E.E.

If you’ve never been to a traditional Jewish wedding ceremony, you’ll get a feel for the atmosphere when the Long Beach Island Branch of the Ocean County Library and the Jewish Community Center of LBI present “Wall to Wall Klezmer,” Tuesday, Oct. 16, 3 p.m. at the JCC, located on Long Beach Boulevard at 24th Street in Spray Beach. Rose Valentine, past JCC president, said the musicians would also talk about the history of Klezmer music, and about their families who immigrated to the United States. Valentine said Klezmer music originated in the 19th century in Eastern European Jewish settlements known as shtetls. The Broadway musical “Fiddler on the Roof ” helped introduce this type of music to American audiences, she said. When Yiddish-speaking people began coming to America in the late 19th century, the music became more fused with American jazz. “It will be fun, festive music,” said Valentine. “People can certainly get up and dance if they want.” She said the concert would give people an opportunity to see the new JCC building, which was dedicated in June. At 9,000 square feet, it is triple the size of the original community center. For more information, call the branch at 609-494-2480 or the JCC at 609-492-4090. — E.E.

s it possible to foretell the future, move objects with your mind or read someone’s thoughts? That will be explored when the Stafford Branch of the Ocean County Library presents “ESP and Mind Reading With Amore,” on Wednesday, Oct. 17, 7 p.m. In this program, Amore, the stage name of James Lazzarini, will be using numerous audience volunteers for mind-reading demonstrations. “It could involve a book someone is reading, or lottery numbers,” he said. “In a sense, the audience members become stars of the show. I use psychology and parapsychology. It is a show where people can discover the power of their own mind.” Lazzarini said that he will also mix in some comedy and music. A performer for more than 15 years, the Long Island-based magician has a college degree in psychology and holds a doctorate in clinical hypnotherapy. Besides various venues in the United States, Lazzarini has taken his act to China, Canada, Bermuda and Puerto Rico. He has performed at corporate functions for WABC-TV, Burger King, Philip Morris, Nabisco and UPS. “Ever since I was a little kid, I always had a fascination with the power of the mind,” said Lazzarini. “I have various shows to offer. For the library programs, they are family oriented and we all have a lot of fun and get a lot of laughs.” For more information, call the branch at 609-597-3381. — E.E.

Musical Comedy Opens Two-Weekend Run

Classic Comedy Comes to Town This Weekend ‘You Can’t Take It With You’ By RICK MELLERUP ong before “Gene Simmons Family Jewels” or “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” there was a popular show about a dysfunctional family: “You Can’t Take It with You.” Penned by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart, it opened on Broadway in December 1936 and later went on to become a movie directed by the legendary Frank Capra and starring the iconic Jimmy Stewart. “You Can’t Take It with You” is still often performed, as it will be this weekend by the Little Egg Theatre Co. at the Frog Pond Elementary School at 305 Frog Pond Rd. in Little Egg Harbor. Shows will be held on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Oct. 11, 12 and 13, at 7 p.m., and on Sunday, Oct. 14, at 2:30 p.m. Tickets, which are a mere $10, can be purchased at the Tuckerton Seaport (cash or check only), online at littleeggtheatreco. com or at the door starting a half hour before the curtain. It is definitely unfair to compare “You Can’t Take It with You” with reality TV programs. The play is highly intelligent and witty, so much so that it won the 1937 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Still, talk about a dysfunctional family! The clan living in a somewhat rundown New York City house is headed by “Grandpa” (Paul Nixon), who, after fighting and scratching in the business world, decided to just relax. He’s spent decades collecting snakes and stamps, playing darts and attending college commencements. One thing he hasn’t bothered doing is to pay income tax – he is 24 years in arrears, something that hasn’t pleased the government, as an IRS agent, Henderson (Jeff Ciborowksi), tells him. Grandpa’s daughter, Penelope Sycamore (Mary Henry), has been painting portraits and writing plays for years – and not completing any project. Her husband, Paul (Jim Henry), spends his time manufacturing fireworks that he sells at a loss. One of Penelope’s daughters, Essie Carmichael (Lucille Paccione), has been studying ballet for eight years, even though her teacher, the mad Russian Boris Kolenkhov, thinks she “stinks!” Essie’s husband, Ed (Rick Spence), likes to print – anything – and play the xylophone. They have a live-in maid, Rheba (Aline Bernstein), who has a live-in boyfriend, Donald (Fred Halde), who is on relief and can’t stand having to wait in line for 30 minutes to get his check because it breaks up his week. Then there’s Mr. De Pinna (Dave Farmer), who assists Paul with the fireworks. De Pinna showed up at the house one day to speak with Paul and never left in the following eight years. What a crew, especially when visitors such as an extremely drunken actress named Gay Wellington (Rosemary Molloy), the aforementioned mad Russian part-time ballet instructor and full-time mooch Kolenkhov, and the Grand Duchess Olga Katrina

Our Gang Players Go ‘Legally Blonde’ T

he Our Gang Players are on a roll. In September, they received the Community Theater of the Year award from the New Jersey Association of Community Theaters. And the next two weekends, Our Gang will be doing something very few community theater troupes dare to do – introducing the public of Southern Ocean County to a new musical. “Legally Blonde,” based on the 2001 movie of the same name, is a “pop musical,” with music and lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe and Nell Benjamin and a book by Heather Hach. It opened on Broadway in 2007, drew large and enthusiastic crowds, and earned seven Tony Award nominations. It failed to win any, but when it opened in London, the British critics were more impressed, and it won the Laurence Olivier Award – the English equivalent of a Tony – for Best New Musical. It is a “new” musical in more ways than one, because, after all, how many Broadway musicals are taped for broadcast on MTV? In other words, it is a show that may bring in a younger audience than Our Gang is accustomed to. At a recent rehearsal, it was obvious it is already a show that has the young adult performers of Our Gang thoroughly excited and champing at the bit for opening night. The strikingly blond president of the Delta Nu sorority, Elle Woods (Alison Gleason), is expecting Warren Huntington III (Eric Weinhardt) to propose to her at dinner. Instead he breaks her heart, saying he needs a more serious girl. Elle is not one to give up. If Warren wants serious, he’ll get serious. She decides to apply for Harvard Law and incredibly, backed by a squad of cheerleaders, talks her way in. But she’s still got a long row to hoe. Her snobby classmates disapprove of her, especially Vivienne (Elizabeth Weidenhof), Warren’s new girlfriend. Professor Callahan (Scott Bruinooge) is a monster. The only person at Harvard Law who seems to be in her corner is teaching assistant Emmett Forest (Ryan Mulholland). She decides she’ll be taken seriously as a brunette and heads off to a beauty parlor. But before she can be transformed, Vivienne gives her an unexpected invitation to a party and even provides her with a costume. The dye job is forgotten and Elle shows up at the party, dressed as a Playboy bunny, only to ﬁnd Warren attending. So much for the serious look. Elle ﬁnally realizes she appears too desperate to Warren. The hell with him, she thinks, and cracks the books and kicks Warren’s butt in a classroom debate. Of course, she is

stunned when Warren proposes to Vivienne and Viv accepts (with a “take that” kiss thrown in). But her sadness is overcome when she learns she has won a coveted internship with Callahan along with Warren, Vivienne and another student, Enid Hoopes (Amanda Dunyak). Act II gets even crazier, as the team defends Brooke Wyndham (Jannah Tabbacchino), a fitness queen accused of murdering her husband. Callahan puts a move on Elle, she slaps him, and she is dumped from the team. But she shows up in court anyway and … we just can’t give anything else away. Sounds like a light, fun show, right? It is. That doesn’t mean, however, that Our Gang’s production of “Legally Blonde” won’t have a serious aspect. Our Gang is donating a dollar for every ticket sold (up to $2,000) to support local breast cancer awareness efforts. The troupe also launched a contest for its playbill cover, looking for a design that would promote breast cancer awareness as well as relate to the show. The winner, Ryan Alger, a 12-year-old local girl, ﬁgured it all out: “I spent most of my life supporting breast cancer awareness,” she told Our Gang. “I have walked for the cause, I have helped my mom’s friend feel good when she went through chemotherapy by making her a wig out of newspaper curls, and now I am excited to send you my submission for the playbill for ‘Legally Blonde the Musical.’ I tried to make it look as much like Elle’s version of HAAAAVAAAD as if she was to design the school emblem herself.” Directed by Jessica O’Brien, “Legally Blonde” will be performed in Manahawkin’s OceanFirst Theatre, located at 1000 McKinley Ave.,

at 7 p.m. on Oct. 11, 12, 13, 19 and 20, and at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 14. Tickets are only $15 for adults, $12 for students and seniors and $8 for kids 12 years of age and younger. They may be purchased at the door, by phone at 609-597-0553, or online at ourgang.org. On Saturday, Oct. 13, Our Gang members will host a special “Pink Carpet” event before that evening’s show. Special tickets for that are $25 and include

a ticket to the evening performance, tempting eats and a chance to meet and greet Our Gang performers. The Pink Carpet tickets must be purchased in advance so the troupe can get a head count – the phone number to reserve, remember, is 609-597-0553. You don’t have to be blond to attend! But if you have a wig ... — Rick Mellerup rickmellerup@thesandpaper.net

(Kathy Devitt), “a cousin of the Czar” who is now a waitress selling baked beans at Childs Restaurant, all join the menagerie. There’s only one seemingly normal member of the family, Essie’s younger sister Alice (Erin Mathis), who is a secretary in the Wall Street ﬁrm of Kirby and Co. Therein lies the problem. Alice falls in love with Tony Kirby (Neil Goldstein), the boss’s son. She is

convinced that Tony’s ultra-straitlaced parents (Ron Kleinfield and Julie Shutz) will never accept her family and, thus, her. They’re going to be paying a visit soon, and she wants everything to be perfect, with all in the household on their absolute best behavior. And then Mr. and Mrs. Kirby show up an evening early for dinner! Uh oh. Talk about a clash of personalities, of cultures, of just about everything! And it certainly doesn’t

help when three federal agents (Ciborowski and Emma and Libby Neuweiler) show up to arrest Ed and end up arresting everybody in the house, just before the ﬁreworks in the basement explode! Will Alice ever be accepted by Mr. and Mrs. Kirby? Will she and Tony be married? Will the entire bunch go to jail? Will Grandpa ever pay his income tax? You’ll have to attend a LETCO

performance of the classic play to ﬁnd out. One thing is sure: This show is a hell of a lot funnier than “Family Jewels” or “Keeping Up.” And it has a message that a lot of people in this run-until-you-drop society could probably stand to hear. After all, as Grandpa tells Mr. Kirby, “You’ve got all the money you need. You can’t take it with you.” Y rickmellerup@thesandpaper.net

County Planning Cloverdale Park Improvements

Waterfront Access O Under New DEP Rule Gives Area More Say Replacing Unpopular Burden on Marinas

he new rule on public access to waterways calls for the state to work with each municipality on a customized plan rather than dictate a “one size fits all” policy. Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Bob Martin has signed the Public Access Rule, a Christie administration initiative that “provides the state with common sense mechanisms for working cooperatively with local governments to enhance public access to New Jersey’s beaches, bays and tidal waterways.” Gov. Christie called for “a more workable and cooperative approach” than in the past, a DEP press release said. Court rulings had essentially repealed an earlier mandate under the Corzine administration, which had been fought by many marina owners as well as municipal leaders. “New Jersey already has great access to its beaches and tidal waterways,” Martin said last week. “This rule, developed with extensive input from the public and stakeholders, will make public access even better by setting up a framework that enables the DEP to work one-on-one with municipalities to craft Municipal Public Access Plans that make sense locally, instead of imposing one-sizefits-all mandates.” The rule, signed Oct. 3, will become final upon publication in the New Jersey Register on Nov. 5. It applies to 231 municipalities from the New York-New Jersey Harbor region, south along the entire coastline, and north again along the Delaware Bay and tidal portions of the Delaware River. Long Beach Township, whose 12mile coastline is the longest among the six Long Beach Island municipalities, is already “99 percent compliant” with the new rule, said Mayor Joseph Mancini. “In January we will file our finished plan,” Mancini said, and it will contain provisions for “the other 1 percent more compliance” in public access that would be required. The new rule is the result of public hearings that took place during two years, and then subsequent state review. Mancini had attended public hearings in Trenton where he testified that “one size does not fit all” regarding public access in varying municipalities. The DEP ultimately agreed with that and other testimony. “The DEP undertook a comprehensive review of public access as a result of court decisions that held that rules adopted by the Corzine Administration mandating 24/7 public access and tying development of access points, public restrooms, and parking directly to beach maintenance funding overstepped DEP’s authority,” the press release said. Opponents of the Corzine rule argued that the rule compromised public

safety by preventing towns from closing beaches at night and would have been very costly to implement. The rule will alleviate similar onerous burdens on marinas. That victory was recognized by marina industry representatives. “The adoption of these rules will ensure the future health and growth of the recreational boating industry and the marinas that provide meaningful access to our waterways,” said Melissa Danko, executive director of the Marine Trades Association of New Jersey. “We are pleased that this issue has finally ended with a realistic and common-sense plan for providing and creating public access.” Summarized the DEP press release, “Top-down regulations left municipal governments out of the planning process, creating an unnecessarily adversarial relationship between them and the state. The DEP, under the Christie Administration, recognized that a more workable and cooperative approach was necessary to ensure municipalities are able to maintain access where it is already good and improve it where it could be better.” The topic is sure to be discussed at upcoming town meetings in other muncipalities, some of whose officials could not be reached for comment at press time Tuesday. The amendments ensure that Municipal Public Access Plans include points of access for day and night fishing, according to a DEP press release, which does not list further details on that point. It does mention that the Hudson Waterfront Walkway would now be required to be kept open on a 24-hour basis except in limited circumstances. The rule will come into play within DEP permitting processes. Local governments will have incentives “to work with the DEP to adopt plans that are designed to meet local and regional access needs,” the Oct. 3 press release said. “Our goal is to enhance public access for families, boaters, the fishing community and everyone who enjoys the shore and the water,” Martin said. “The rule will benefit shore areas that are the backbone of the state’s $38 billion tourism economy, as well as urban areas where years of industrialization and development have limited access to bays, rivers and creeks,” the press release noted. The rule also mandates that access be provided for new developments either on-site or off-site if a municipality establishes a public access fund.

cean County is planning upgrades to Cloverdale Park, a facility located off West Bay Avenue in Barnegat Township. Freeholder John Bartlett, county parks liaison, said work would soon begin on building restroom facilities and also repairing another structure that had been damaged by fire in 2010. Bartlett said the fire was ruled arson, but suspects were never found. The building housed parks department offices and displays and information related to the history of the park. The county purchased the 80acre tract from the Collins family in 2004 for $1.7 million. Prior to the sale, it had been an active cranberry farm since the early 1900s. The park is located opposite the entrance to the Pheasant Run adult community. “At first, we were going to include it in our natural lands trust fund to have it preserved, but then we thought it would be an ideal place for a county park, since there had not been a county park in Barnegat,” Bartlett said. He said the park includes various nature trails and cranberry bogs. “We can use the park to educate people about the history of cranberry farming,” said Bartlett. “The idea is to have a place where visitors would be able to observe the actual day-to-day operation of the farm, from cultivation and growing to the harvesting and sorting of the cranberries. We’d like to have a couple of the bogs permanently flooded because that is very scenic.” Bartlett said the park’s progress, along with other county projects, fell victim to economic woes. “We were moving along pretty

a place for ball playing and sports. It will have numerous walking paths and ample parking. The working relationship between the township and the county has steadily improved over the years and by working closely together, only good and productive things can happen that will beneﬁt all of Barnegat residents.” — Eric Englund ericenglund@thesandpaper.net

Senate Passes Jessica Lunsford Act, Co-Sponsored By 9th District Legislators

he state Senate has passed legislation co-sponsored and strongly supported by the 9th District’s Sen. Christopher Connors, Assemblyman Brian Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne Gove that would enact the Jessica Lunsford Act in New Jersey. The measure is named for a Florida girl who was sexually assaulted and murdered by a convicted sex offender, and is modeled on legislation in that state. Under this act, mandatory terms of imprisonment would be imposed on persons convicted of aggravated sexual assault against a child under the age of 13. The individual would be sentenced to between 25 years and life imprisonment, of which the person must serve 25 years before he is eligible for parole. Under existing law, a person is guilty of aggravated sexual assault, a crime of the first degree, if he commits an act of sexual penetration with a victim under the age of 13. A crime of the first degree is ordinarily punishable by a term of imprisonment of 10 to 20 years, a fine of up to $200,000, or both. “If ultimately enacted into law, the mandatory sentences called for under the Jessica Lunsford Act will make our streets safer by incarcerating dangerous child predators for longer sentences, if not the rest of their lives,” said Connors. “Prior to the legislation

being acted upon by the Legislature, our delegation established an online petition in support of the Jessica Lunsford Act to coordinate with the local efforts on this issue. “Since 2008, our delegation has supported the Jessica Lunsford Act with the understanding that strengthening our state’s child predator laws is an issue of signiﬁcant importance to our constituency.” As Rumpf added, “Given the most dangerous of sexual offenders’ propensity to reoffend and remain a danger to the community, the mandatory sentencing requirements under the Jessica Lunsford Act are appropriate and needed in the interest of public safety. In fact, since being advanced in the committee process, the legislation has been expanded to provide that a person who purposely harbors a sex offender that has failed to register is guilty of a fourth-degree crime and would be subject to a minimum six months in prison. Unquestionably, the Jessica Lunsford Act will solidify state law in sentencing the most dangerous child predators, and build upon the overall protections that ﬁrst began with the enactment of Megan’s Law.” “Our delegation is elated that, finally, the Legislature is moving with deliberate speed to advance the Jessica Lunsford Act as a legislative

priority,” Gove noted. “Last week, the Assembly took the ﬁrst step in that house by unanimously releasing the Jessica Lunsford Act from the Assembly Judiciary Committee. “Not only does the Jessica Lunsford Act have widespread public support,” she added, “but there is growing bipartisan support in the Legislature. Our delegation strongly believes this is due to not only the public safety beneﬁts from the mandatory sentencing requirements, but also from the added measure of justice that the Jessica Lunsford Act would bring to victims and their loved ones, as well as to the community as a whole directly affected by such tragic and unspeakable crimes.” Connors, Rumpf and Gove are the prime sponsors of legislation that would prohibit a convicted sex offender from residing within 500 feet of an elementary or secondary school, playground or child care center. Additionally, they are the prime sponsors of a measure that would require sex offenders be tiered – a determination of risk for re-offense – prior to their release from prison.

EJ Gardens: Space To Grow and Learn F By JULIET KASZAS-HOCH irst-g rader Reese Ever t’s favorite part of the various gardens on the grounds of the Ethel A. Jacobsen Elementary School are the flowers: “They give us seeds!” There are seeds, too, inside the peppers, kindergartener Greta Schulze discovered. “I can get veggies out of the garden,” said Ryann Kolodziej, an E.J. secondgrader. Also in the gardens? “There are living things that are cute, like rats,” second-grader Sophia Buonpane remarked. And, of course, added third-grader Gavin Schulze: “You can get messy!” After volunteer families, teachers and students with autism in Southern Regional High School Project ASPIRE weeded and watered the various gardens on the E.J. property in Surf City through the summer, the youngsters were eager to get outside among the plants and flowers this fall. “The students love working in the garden,” said first-grade teacher Kelly Turner. “It gives them a chance to learn in an open-air environment, as well as get dirty from time to time! The hands-on component of the garden really helps to reach all students so they can understand what is being taught to the fullest extent.” According to Evert, Ms. Turner asks her students, “if carrots grow on a tree or in the dirt. She asks me to put seeds in the garden, and (tells me) if I should water the garden a lot or a little.” “We look at the seeds,” said Greta Schulze of her class endeavors in the gardens. “The seeds look beautiful.” “One of the things we did was harvest potatoes,” Gavin Schulze noted. “We pick weeds,” said Kolodziej. “You have to dig around them and pull them up without breaking them,” as Buonpane explained weed-picking technique. Buonpane’s teacher also asked her

students “to pick tomatillos, peppers and cilantro for the salsa we made. It was good, but a little spicy.” While the Grade 2 green thumbs created salsa – a lesson that included math, literature and taste testing, stated the Long Beach Island Consolidated School District website, lbischools.org – the first-graders focused on roots, and the kindergarteners mapped the garden and collected marigold seeds as part of a garden pest protection project. Lisa Boyd, a teacher for the 3- to 4-year-old prekindergarten, said her students have been raising monarch butterflies and releasing them as they hatch. As Turner explained in regard to her first-grade curriculum, “We use the garden for a lot of hands-on learning and cross curricular ties. It is used for science, math, reading and social studies, to name a few. We focus on the parts of plants, as well as their functions. The actual plants give the students a visual while reading about the information within their text books. “The students help maintain the garden by taking care of it through means of watering, weeding and planting. Hands-on math activities include measuring, comparing and contrasting, finding patterns within the garden and basic math facts. The students learn how to work together as a class, as well as a school, while gardening and working within the garden area. It is a school project that helps teach responsibility to all of the students.” Bianca Aniski, a nurse in the district, has written various grant proposals to enable the creation of vegetable and rain gardens on the E.J. property. A Healthy Community Development mini-grant award in 2009 allowed for the installation of a sustainable, edible garden designed to help underline the importance of fruit and vegetable consumption, and allow for cross-curricular plant-based

County to Collect Household Hazardous Waste Ocean County will collect household hazardous waste – including pesticides, aerosol cans and used gasoline – at the Stafford Township Public Works garage on Haywood Road from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 13. “This program helps keep hazardous materials out of the waste stream and helps protect Barnegat Bay,” said Freeholder James F. Lacey, who serves as liaison to the county’s recycling program. “We are pleased to offer this program to our residents and encourage its use. “Earlier this year we collected almost 123,000 pounds of household hazardous waste over ﬁve days,” Lacey added. “This keeps our environment safe and allows homeowners to rid their homes of materials that could be dangerous.” Accepted materials at the household hazardous waste collection site are as follows: paints, thinners, boat paints, solvents, pool chemicals, pesticides and herbicides, aerosol cans, auto products, toilet and drain cleaners, silver polishes, oven cleaners, photographic chemicals, rug and upholstery cleaners, polishes and bleaches, waste oil and used gasoline. As Lacey pointed out, residents may drop off used paint for recycling year ’round at 10 different recycling centers throughout the county, including those in Little Egg Harbor Township and Stafford. Paint is also collected Monday through Friday at the Public Works garage in Tuckerton. “These recycling programs help keep our environment clean,” said Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little. “Public participation is key when it comes to taking care of our waterways, our streams and our land.” Registration for the household hazardous waste collection is required, as is proof of residency. To register for the collection at the Stafford township collection site, call 609-978-0913. —J.K.-H.

AT THE ROOT OF IT: (Above) First graders at the Ethel A. Jacobsen Elementary School learn about roots in the vegetable garden on the school grounds in Surf City. (Below) The district’s various gardens help grow great minds. education. In 2010, E.J. was awarded a $2,500 Go Green Grant from OceanFirst Foundation, which was looking for ideas and strategies focused on teaching and engaging students in “green” hands-on projects and programs. This grant funded the school’s rain gardens. Last spring, third-graders at the school (before the third-grade was moved to the Long Beach Island Grade School this year) planted beach plum, black-eyed Susan, New England aster, purple coneﬂower and more as they helped to establish the rain gardens on the west and north sides of the school building. The rain gardens, Aniski explained last year, not only beautify the school property, but are designed as bird and butterﬂy habitat, and, in addition, “the gardens are supposed to be intercepting and treating the rainwater that runs off the roof before it gets to the bay.” While students learn about the important environmental function of the rain gardens, in the vegetable garden, said Turner, “When planting, the students are able to predict what they think will happen to the seeds. For example, they can predict when they think seeds will grow, how tall the plants will be, and how fast they will grow. “We also use the garden to teach about healthy eating habits. The garden contains many edible plants, which the students get to taste throughout the school year. With help from the teachers, cafeteria staff and local community members, the students have tried such dishes as fresh salsa, basil pesto, smashed potatoes and garlic, spinach salad and fresh radishes, to name a few.” And, Gavin Schulze pointed out, as a related lesson, “We learned all about composting!” Recently, the school district unveiled its A500 Rocket Composter, funded by a $28,500 grant from the State Farm Youth Advisory Board via a service learning project focused on environmental responsibility. Students collect and recycle food waste from the district’s breakfast and lunch program to compost and subsequently place on the school’s gardens. Carol Laird, who teaches the district academically talented program, and collaborated on the grant submission with Long Beach Township recycling coordinator and parent Angela Contillo Andersen, said last fall

that the composting effort will help students become aware of organic waste as a potential resource, as well as demonstrate how they can make a difference in the community and have a positive effect on the environment. Composting confronts the matter of solid waste, and “provides a way to instill in our children a sense of environmental stewardship,” said Laird. “Our educational programs already focus on reducing, reusing and recycling our solid wastes. Composting fits in with this idea but takes it a step beyond.” “Composting will reduce the amount of waste that needs to be hauled away to a landfill and thus reduces the cost of such waste removal,” said Superintendent Karen McKeon. “In addition, it also reduces the cost of expensive school landscaping and will provide nutrients to the school’s gardens.” “The garden and projects that come along with it are getting bigger every year,” said Turner. “It is fun for the students to take part in an ongoing project that they can see evolving before them. The more that is planted, the more the students are learning about various vegetables, herbs and flowers. Planting a variety of things also creates more lessons within the classroom, and outside in the garden. “A school garden is a rare opportunity for students. We are very

fortunate that we have our garden. It allows the students to think outside of the box and solve problems that might arise. The students enjoy the many aspects of the garden and what they entail. Many schools cannot provide this type of hands-on education. We are very fortunate that we are able to do so!” Y julietkaszas-hoch@thesandpaper.net

DARE Used Clothing Bin in LBT

ong Beach Township has added a DARE collection bin for unwanted used clothing to its recycling drop-off center within the municipality’s public works yard in Beach Haven Crest. In addition to clothes, accepted items include shoes, belts, handbags, towels, linens and blankets. Toys and housewares, such as picture frames and dishes, are not accepted. Representatives from the DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program, which teaches children how to avoid involvement in drugs and violence, collect the items for recycling when the bins are full. “Cost avoidance at the landfill and reusing items and materials, as opposed to harvesting new materials, are the major success points of these textile recycling programs,” said township Recycling and Clean Communities Coordinator Angela

Contillo Andersen. “This is the ﬁrst in many new additions and expansions at the drop-off center,” she added. DARE clothing collection bins are also located at the Barnegat Light Recycling Center on West 10th Street, the Surf City Laundromat at 1709 Long Beach Blvd., the Spray Beach Laundromat at 2201 Long Beach Blvd., Just Bead It at 1305 Long Beach Blvd. in North Beach Haven, and the Sea Spray Motel at 2600 South Long Beach Blvd. in Holgate. The recycling drop-off center at Long Beach Township’s Department of Public Works, at 7910 Long Beach Blvd., is open 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday from Sept. 13 until May 28.

NJ Fish and Wildlife Popularizes Sport

he thrill of hitting the bull’s eye coupled with that distinctive “twang” – target archery, a sport as old as Robin Hood, is coming to a school near you. The N.J. Department of Environmental Protection’s Division of Fish and Wildlife has recently picked up the National Archery in the Schools Program, which teaches safe archery while providing equipment for school archery programs. State coordinators Wayne Tonnesen and Melissa Woerner from Fish and Wildlife have taught 98 teachers and camp counselors the best archery practices and how to incorporate the curriculum into school physical education and camp activities. The archery curriculum straddles the ages starting in grade four to grade 12. Locally, they have trained teachers in the Pinelands Regional and Tuckerton Elementary school districts. “We’re looking to get Southern Regional High School on board and Eagleswood Elementary,” said Tonnesen. Will Sundermann, Pinelands Regional’s athletic director, said that early in the school year, Tonnesen and Woerner trained nine teachers and one volunteer in the Archery in the Schools program, and the district has started the program in the junior high school. “It’s a partnership between the state Division of Fish and Wildlife and the school,” said Sundermann. “Wayne Tonnesen has been part of Pinelands Regional for years because of his son. He helped run the fishing club after-school program and sponsored cleanups of the creek behind the school. He contacted me to see if I was interested, and I am really interested. We have archery in the curriculum in the junior high, but this was an opportunity to get teachers certified to do it the way NASP does it. “The course takes into account the safety issue. A lot of the sports have an element of physical risk, but obviously in archery, the risk could be a serious injury. The teachers learn to be consistent in their instructions, always putting safety first. They learned what instructions to give the class before, during and after using the archery equipment – for instance, where to stand, how to stand and sensible things, like everyone retrieving their arrows at the same time.” Sundermann said that although archery is taught only at the junior high level now, the district is working on the new curriculum in order to offer it on the high school level. “Right now the (high school) students do not get to choose their sport; they get assigned to a teacher, and the teacher chooses the sport. But next year, they will have a choice to pre-register for a subject.” The district had some equipment already but was able to borrow some brand-new equipment through the NASP, including everything from targets to bows and arrows and equipment storage cabinets. The bows are

he Richard Stockton College of New Jersey opened a Manahawkin instructional site on East Bay Avenue on Sept. 12, and according to Provost and Executive Vice President Harvey Kesselman, it had been a long time coming. “We have for years looked at the possibility of expanding our offerings into Southern Ocean County because Ocean County is one of our strongest feeder counties. ... Ocean County College and Stockton have had a long, excellent relationship, and we have a large population that comes from all of Ocean County. Atlantic Cape Community College and Ocean County College are our two primary feeders of transfer students. This (new site) provides many of those students the opportunity to take courses a little closer to home.” So why Manahawkin? “We liked that it was halfway between OCC and us. What we found particularly attractive about this one in Manahawkin is that we have partners in AtlantiCare and Rothman (Institute Orthapaedics) that we’ve had a long relationship with, who both had an interest in this particular site. We got together and decided that maybe if the three of us went in, it could pretty much transform what’s going on there as well as provide multiple opportunities to get the best of the three facilities.” Stockton has become the premier undergraduate and graduate institution in the region with 8,400 undergrads and 1,000 graduate students, and has established joint programs with the healthcare service organizations on its main campus. “There will be joint programs in Manahawkin eventually. As we start offering more courses, some of them will be tied to Rothman and AtlantiCare.” Seven courses are currently being offered at the 3,200-square-foot facility, all of which can be viewed through the college’s web site, www. stockton.edu. The facility has seen an instant popularity, and Kesselman explained plans to expand on the facility are already being discussed as more courses begin to be offered. “We will do it reasonably quickly. I think that will occur over the next year and a half or so, perhaps with a fall 2013 opening. You can’t be for sure with construction, but that’s not out of the realm of possibility.” “We had 130 enrollments so far, which we’re very pleased with. It’s a nice start, and we’ll have additional

target bows, not power drawstring bows like those used for hunting. “They also offer grants to help us purchase equipment, and we have a budget to buy archery equipment,” said Sundermann. “Right now the freshmen have it, and we’re hoping to expand it to 11th grade and have a club after school and perhaps get involved in competitions,” he said. “It is an Olympic sport. We’re excited about it.” Woerner said the seven-hour teacher training includes lessons on how to safely use the equipment, how to maintain it, how to coach students and how to work with “disruptive” students. “There are studies that show when the program is running, school attendance is up and disruptive behavior goes down. When students are more

Stockton’s goal is to eventually expand the facility from an “instructional site” to what’s called “an additional location” as it makes available enough courses to earn at least 50 percent of full degrees there, with the eventual possibility of its becoming a full branch campus. “We want to see what the demands are, and we want to work in conjunction with Ocean County College in helping to build those programs. Students will be able to go their first two years at Ocean County College and then finish at the Manahawkin site.” Kesselman mentioned a liberal arts degree currently offered at Stockton, the second half of which he hopes will one day be offered in its entirety at the Manahawkin instructional site for students transferring from OCC. “We anticipate a large demand; people are excited about it in Ocean County, and we’re excited to be there. We have a tremendous amount of history with Southern Ocean County,” said Kesselman, citing N.J state Sen. focused, they have less behavioral problems,” she said. The instruction or curriculum unit in most schools is 10 days but could be expanded into after-school clubs and intramural sport. “It is an Olympic sport, and there is a training program for the Junior Olympics,” Woerner said. “There are state and national tournaments for students in grade four through 12.” Tonnesen said he is also talking with Sundermann about starting an Outdoor Club at the school that would incorporate all kinds of outdoor activities, including kayaking, canoeing, hiking, fishing and archery, “your basic outdoors activity.” “The division wants to encourage outdoor sports in general,” said Woerner. — Pat Johnson

Christopher J. Connors and Raymond Ciccione, a nationally noted expert in forensic accounting, as examples of Stockton graduates from Southern Ocean County. “There are a lot of Stockton roots in Southern Ocean County. I’m one, too, for that matter,” said Kesselman, who was a member of Stockton’s very ﬁrst class, in the early 1970s. The two 35-seat classrooms within the facility are state of the art. There are computer stations with printing capabilities, e-podiums, and the most modern projection systems available. “It is a high-tech building, no question about it, which is consistent with what we provide on the main campus. Our people on the main campus service that facility, and in addition we have some of our strongest technology-proﬁcient students working there so that we do have the support that’s necessary to ensure that all of the technological infrastructure is working there. And we obviously haven’t received any kind of complaints whatsoever so far.” Michele Collins-Davies, a former director of student development at Stockton and a Stockton graduate, is currently managing operations at the site; she can be reached at 609-626-3884.

Though it remains early on in the semester, Kesselman said the faculty teaching at the site is very pleased, and staff members have heard anecdotally that students are appreciating the facility and all the convenience and courses that it offers. One such course is “The Science of Wave Forecasting,” being offered Monday nights and taught by Dave Werner, a local surfing instructor and competitor. Thirty-three of its 35 seats are filled. Stockton may develop courses with a more coastal theme due to the location’s closeness to the shore. “We would love to do that. I would love to see more courses that are indigenous to the area, but they also have to be courses where there is sufficient demand. Look at it for the potential in summer courses, with people that come down to Long Beach Island in the summer that may want to take some courses there. “Southern Ocean County is sort of like a second home for us, so we’re excited about being there, and I hope you folks are as excited for us being there.” — Michael Molinaro

St. Mary’s Pledges $50,000 for Medical Center Red Cross Offers Public Many Services A Forward-Thinking Organization

he American Red Cross has been around for more than a century, but many people are unaware of the various ways the nonprofit organization helps individuals every day in communities across the nation and around the world. In New Jersey, the American Red Cross is split into two regions, north and south. The Jersey Coast Chapter, located in Tinton Falls, serves all of Ocean and Monmouth counties. The local coalition does more than collect blood donations and partake in the Rock ’N Ride Bike Tour, held every year on Long Beach Island for the past 15 years. “The Red Cross was newly broken up into different chapters throughout the state so we can better streamline our services and consolidate our resources,” said Laura Steinmetz, community/government relations officer of the American Red Cross South Jersey Region. “It actually makes it much easier for us to respond to disasters. We know everything that’s at every warehouse; we know who can go where. We have our cots, we have our trailers set up, everything,” she explained. “Part of this is for presence. We want the communities to know that we’re there, because we are. We have the same reach, the same amount of services that we can offer them, whether there’s a full chapter there or there’s a satellite office. We want to make sure that the community is aware of that,” she added, while also mentioning that the closest satellite office near LBI is located in Toms River, which is primarily used by people seeking helpful information. According to officials, the Jersey Coast Chapter trains 45,000 people in life-saving skills and responds to approximately 300 disasters each year, ranging from home fires that affect a single family to hurricanes that shake an entire population. The local chapter also helps senior citizens living in the area prepare for crises at home, and empowers kids in becoming role

t. Mary’s Church in Barnegat has pledged $50,000 toward the expansion of the emergency department at Southern Ocean Medical Center. The funds were raised by its annual summer carnival. “Every year the parish hosts St. Mary’s ‘Nights of Summer’ Carnival, which is supported by the generosity of church volunteers and the community,” said Fred Duffy, treasurer of St. Mary’s. “Each year the carnival committee determines the recipient of the proceeds. This year the committee decided to pledge $50,000 toward the hospital’s new emergency department.” The new department, when completed in June, will more than triple the existing space and add new components of care, such as a pediatric care center and a dedicated space for emergency behavioral health patients. “We are very grateful to the generosity of St. Mary’s,” said Joe Coyle, president of Southern Ocean Medical Center. “This support really helps us as we grow to provide our community the very highest level of emergency care. Our beautiful, spacious new facility will truly change the way emergency services are delivered, with the best technology models among their peers, through its Youth Council. The chapter even works in cooperation with the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, where more than 77,000 troops have been organized for service for the Global War on Terror since October 2001. “The American Red Cross is a very forward-thinking organization,” said Ellen Korpar, disaster coordinator of the American Red Cross Jersey Coast Chapter. “We even have apps now for your phone, like the hurricane preparedness app, which can help save your life or someone else’s.” In June, the American Red Cross launched its First Aid App, the first in a series of apps focused on putting simple, lifesaving information at the fingertips of smart phone consumers. The app gives immediate access to information on how to deal with the most common first aid circumstances and incorporates videos and interactive quizzes. Safety and preparedness tips are offered for a range of conditions, including severe winter weather, hurricanes, earthquakes and tornadoes. The Hurricane App, launched Aug. 1, gives up-to-date, locationbased weather alerts, provided by

Storage Facility Collecting Used Shoes for Charity

Footwear is something most people take for granted, but for many throughout the world, shoes are a luxury they cannot afford. In addition to providing comfort and improving self-conﬁdence, shoes protect against infection and disease. West Creek Self Storage in Eagleswood is running a shoe drive from now through Jan. 31, 2013. Shoes of any shape, size, style or condition are accepted at the Customer Service Center located at 421 Route 9. All items donated will be given to the Shoes 2 Share organization, a grassroots charitable ministry that seeks to “share the Good News (of the Gospel) through the gift of shoes,” aiming to provide hope, comfort and opportunity to men, women and children in need. The ministry’s growing list of beneﬁciary countries – from Afghanistan to Zambia – includes international and domestic programs that help individuals to participate in school, church, sports, work and other everyday activities. The Delaware-based organization was inspired by founders Rhonda and Tim Wampler’s experience in adopting two children from Haiti, where they witnessed extreme poverty and suffering and were moved to make a difference with Shoes 2 Share. Shoes can be dropped off during the business hours of 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday.

Information regarding open Red Cross shelters and remote monitoring of personalized weather alerts where family and friends reside is also available. The Shelter Finder App specifically maps shelters across the United States using the National Shelter System, which includes information about 60,000 prospective disaster facilities and chronicles housing information during disasters. Users may search open shelters by address, city, state and/ or ZIP Code, and can survey shelter details, such as the agency managing the lodging, its proposed capacity and current population, its exact location and the associated disaster. Users may even read about the disaster through the Disaster Online Newsroom, which is updated every 30 minutes. The Earthquake App, launched just a week ago, notifies users when an earthquake occurs and gives detailed instructions on what to do before, during and after the tremors. It also provides instructions on how to prepare an emergency kit in case of a power outage or evacuation, as well as what to do about food and water when an area is impeded by floods. “It’s amazing what these apps can do. You never know what kind of emergency situation you’ll find yourself in, but most people always have their phone on them, and the downloadable apps can actually help save someone’s life,” said Steinmetz. The free apps are available for both iPhone and Android platforms. Simple steps and checklists, a 9-1-1 call button, pre-loaded content regarding necessary action plans, a flashlight, strobe light and audible alarm, as well as a one-touch “I’m safe” message are provided with most of the apps and can be shared via social media networks, even without data connectivity.

Coast Guard Auxilary Aids Two Boaters; One in Water

he United States Coast Guard is the nation’s smallest armed uniformed force, with just approximately 42,000 active duty personnel. Yet it has numerous missions. The Coast Guard is, of course, responsible for maritime search and rescue. It also has several homeland security missions, including maritime law enforcement, drug interdiction, migrant interdiction, and port, waterways and coastal security. Coasties are responsible for maintaining aids to navigation, helping to enforce ﬁsheries laws, inspecting vessels, maritime environmental protection (think oil spills) and breaking ice. The Coast Guard also has to be prepared to go to war. Oh, and don’t forget the fact that the Coast Guard is responsible for all of these things on the waters of the world’s largest exclusive economic zone – an area of 3.4 million square miles! Not surprisingly, Coasties are thankful for the help of some 30,000 members of the Coast Guard Auxiliary, a group of uniformed volunteers who help the Guard in all of its noncombatant and non-law enforcement missions. Some people think the auxiliary only teaches boater safety classes and conducts voluntary vessel safety inspections, yet those activities are only part of the picture, as a crew of auxiliary members out of Bayville proved on Saturday.

Vote-By-Mail Ballots Available at County’s Stafford Center

egistered voters living in Southern Ocean County can now obtain a vote-by-mail ballot for the upcoming Nov. 6 General Election at the county clerk’s office at the Southern Service Center in Stafford Township. “This center allows for easier access to some of the programs and services provided by the Office of the Ocean County clerk, and the vote-by-mail ballot is something we are pleased to offer at this site,” said County Clerk Scott M. Colabella. Residents of Long Beach Island’s six municipalties as well as Barnegat, Eagleswood, Lacey, Little Egg Harbor, Ocean (Waretown), Stafford and Tuckerton are invited to visit the clerk’s office in Stafford to pick up their ballot and to access the other services provided at the center. The clerk’s office “has a full-time staff member assigned to assist residents at the Ocean County Southern Service Center,” said Freeholder John P. Kelly, director of law and public safety and liaison to the clerk. “This service, along with other programs for seniors and veterans, can now be more easily accessed by the many residents of Southern Ocean County. I encourage our residents to use this conveniently located center.” As Colabella noted, the deadline to register to vote for the Nov. 6 election is Tuesday, Oct. 16.

orah Bennett, Bob Keene, Deborah Nowakoski and Ted Ballin, along with trainees Dennis and Barbara Narehood – left the dock at about noon on Saturday. It’s hard not to think of the Minnow when hearing their story, because just as the cast of “Gilligan’s Island” was expecting just “a three-hour tour” when they took off into the Pacific, Bennett and his crew members were expecting a mere boat ride on the bay on Saturday. “I told everybody I wasn’t even looking to do any training, that we were basically just going for a boat ride,” said Bennett, who is new to the area, transferring to Flotilla 7-11 in Bayville after moving to Ocean County. “I was just trying to familiarize myself with the area waters and letting the crew get familiar with the boat.” Everything changed in just 15 minutes. “We came upon a sailboat that had flipped over with two people on board,” he e-mailed Warrant Officer Jay Greiner, commanding officer at Coast Guard Station Barnegat Light. “The boat was drifting towards the Toms River bridge and one person was in the water. The person in the water was too exhausted to swim back to the boat, about 75 yards away, so we brought him aboard to rest while we tried to right the boat. “The reason I bring this to your attention is that this being the maiden voyage of the vessel 363363, and a crew that had not worked together, and the wind a sporty 25 to 30 knots, I, as a new coxswain was tense as the situation seemed to worsen as the (capsized) boat drifted closer to the bridge. “All said and done, the boat was saved and the person in the water was rescued and rested on our vessel until able to be returned to his boat. “Your watch stander Dan Swedrow and OOD (Officer of the Day) Jim Corisbero were constantly in touch when they recognized the tenseness in my voice to make sure that we were OK and if assistance was needed. The concern for us as a crew was evident and the professionalism in the way they communicated with me during the whole incident was reassuring as a new coxswain with limited experience in a high stress event. They should be commended for the job they did and the concern they showed for us. I personally thank them for making a difficult situation a little easier and giving me the confidence to perform. “Please pass on our appreciation.” Greiner was eager to express his appreciation as well – not only for his men but for the auxiliary members. “This is an example of what the CG Auxiliary does every day,” he told the SandPaper. “They help keep our waters safe. Whether they are teaching a boating class, inspecting aids to

He also feared his own vessel would run aground, said he worried that the capsized boat would crash into the bridge supports and, most of all, was concerned that the man in the water might be hit by a passing motor vessel. “This is something you might want to tell people,” Bennett said. “The guy in the water

SC Taxpayers Address ‘Yellow Curb’ Parking Issue

he trustees of the Surf City Taxpayers Association held a “state of the borough” meeting of sorts at the Surf City Firehouse on Sept. 28 to address taxpayers’ leading issues as compiled from letters and surveys given out to its members throughout the year. It touched on everything from taxes and the beach to what newly elected President Michael Ippolito described as the “more actionable” issues of parking and beautiﬁcation in the borough. The meeting of the 10 members of the organization’s board of trustees was the ﬁrst to be led by Ippolito. Three new board members were recently added in an effort toward what he hopes will expand the presence of the organization in the coming year. This includes enacting a plan to tackle the issue of parking too close to intersections on Long Beach Boulevard in particular, and the possibility of painting the 25 feet of curb surrounding each intersection yellow, which he has heard much dialogue on from residents both in person and in this publication. “We are currently working on developing various alternatives for ways to promote awareness of the no-parking areas in Surf City. The

painted curbs will be one of those alternatives,” said Ippolito. “Primarily this is a safety issue, but we believe the current situation could potentially have a negative impact on our local businesses and the reputation of Surf City. We plan to work with local ofﬁcials and businesses to ﬁnd an acceptable solution to this problem.” Once alternatives are established and support is gained from local businesses, the taxpayers association plans on presenting the suggested alternatives to Surf City Mayor Leonard T. Connors and the town council at a future monthly meeting, possibly in November or December. “The yellow curbs are the best way, but the mayor and council don’t agree with that. By November or December, they’ll see what our alternatives are, and then we’ll work to get something implemented. I don’t think we want to go through another busy summer season with the same issue.” That being said, parking and yellow curbs were not even at the top of the list of residents’ concerns, based on surveys and letters the organization collects throughout the year. “Every year everyone wants to know how we can reduce taxes even further. It’s not really an

actionable item, and we feel the mayor’s doing a great job on it. Also, keeping the beaches clean and replenished.” Actionable items besides the parking issue include beautification in specific parts of town, such as dilapidated medians on Barnegat Avenue or the repavement of the road itself, which will soon enter into a second phase. “We want to develop alternatives to things like beautification and landscaping as well. The town doesn’t want to spend money on these things, so we need to look at how we can create alternatives. What can we do to as an independent organization to act as a catalyst to make the town do things? In some cases we don’t need the town’s approval. We can volunteer and get things done ourselves, but I see us as a conduit between our residents and our officials.” The taxpayers association plans on meeting again at the end of this month.

Manahawkin Youngster Moves From TV to the Silver Screen By ERIC ENGLUND itting in the McDonald’s or the Burger King along Route 72 in Manahawkin, 12-year-old Joshua Ormond often goes unrecognized. But people who regularly watch TV or keep up with the latest movies have likely seen the youngster with his blond, curly locks and cherubic face. The child actor, who moved to Manahawkin over the summer, plays the role of Leonard in the film “Nature Calls,” due for release in November. The comedy features Patton Oswalt, Johnny Knoxville and Maura Tierney. He can be seen in theaters now in “Robot and Fields,” where he plays Freckles in the comedy sci-fi flick starring Frank Langella. Ormond played a leading role as Steven in “The Fields,” a 2011 suspense thriller that also featured Cloris Leachman and Tara Reid. “I was on camera a lot in that one,” said Ormond, a seventh-grader at Southern Regional Middle School who once lived in Barnegat Township. “That was my big break.” In “The Fields,” Ormond plays a boy in a rural town who has a difficult home life because his parents are Supplied Photo constantly at odds and are arguing.

Motorcycle Toy Run Rained Out Sunday, Now Set for Oct. 14

he 13th annual Motorcycle Toy Run was postponed due to rain this past weekend and has been rescheduled for this Sunday, Oct. 14. Hundreds of motorcyclists are expected to gather for the long, scenic ride through the Pinelands, united in a spirit of giving for families in need during the holidays. All other details of the event remain unchanged: Registration begins 10:30 a.m. in the parking lot on Route 9 at Southern Regional High School in Manahawkin. The cost to register is $10 per rider, plus one new, unwrapped toy valued at $10 for a child in need – no plush toys or stuffed animals. (In particular, gifts are needed for teen boys and girls, ages 13 to 18.) Entertainment and refreshments will be provided while participants meet, mingle and prepare for a 65-mile journey together. At 12:30, the bikes will ﬁle out of the lot, onto Route 9 south, and proceed to Route 72 west. Motorcycle police escorts from Ocean, Monmouth, Atlantic and Burlington counties, plus the State Police, will accompany the run and control trafﬁc at key intersections along the way. The ride concludes at St. Mary’s Parish Center on McKinley Avenue in Manahawkin, for lunch, music and camaraderie. The Toy Run Foundation distributes the collected toys to families throughout Southern Ocean County; to the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, Family Protection Unit; to Operation Santa Claus at Fort Dix, for children of deployed soldiers; and to Community Medical Center in Toms River, with Santa and Mrs. Claus, in the pediatric, emergency and minor treatment units.

beginning at 7:30 p.m. One of the episodes deals with Beach Haven West resident Gino Valenti, a retired schoolbus driver and big band singer; it includes a segment about the STAC’s performing arts program. The other episode tackles public school educators in New Jersey. This will be followed by a collection of musical performances, some from instructors who teach at STAC. The night will also be filmed, with portions of it to be included in a future episode in the series. An affiliate station of the Public Broadcasting Service entered another episode from the first season of “Driving Jersey” for consideration of a regional Emmy nomination in the humaninterest category. That episode depicts the work of a school in Red Bank called Rockit, which teaches teenagers how to be rock stars. “They were trying to figure out what we are. Sometimes you show performances, other times harder-hitting stuff,” said Rogers. “We’re about human stories. “We’re very thankful for PBS entering us,” he said. “We weren’t sure about their selection at first and then decided it’s a fine episode. I think Jack Black really lit a fuse on this type of thing,” Rogers said, referencing the actor’s 2003 film “School of Rock.” The classes end by giving kids a chance to “play on the big stage” of Red Bank’s Count Basie Theater. Before receiving the television deal with local PBS affiliates last year, Rogers and Bott entered an episode of “Driving Jersey” into the National Emmy Awards, and that was nominated in the “New Approaches to Media” category, due to its availability at the time online at drivingjersey.com and throughout New Jersey on college and university television stations. Rogers himself began as a temp at the Emmy Awards and went on to be a national correspondent, eventually becoming manager of content for the Daytime Emmy Awards and Technology and Engineering Emmy Awards, an employment that lasted 10 years. Despite its acclaim, “Driving Jersey” has been driven much by the work Rogers, Bott and company often do for little to no money, and has now become dependent on public donations if its second season is to continue. Bott and Rogers currently are hoping a funding drive using the kickstarter.com web site will bring in enough money to do just that. The page to contribute can be found at kickstarter.com/ projects/2017657164/driving-jersey. It currently has just over 20 days to reach its $10,000 goal. “What we’re asking for is a tiny sliver of what a typical public television documentary series uses for its next season. The amount of money is probably what most use for a single episode,” Rogers said. “The thing about Kickstarter is you set a goal and if you don’t reach that, all the money goes back to the donators. People think we need Continued on Page 39

LBI Foundation of the Arts and Sciences Seeks New Director, Chris Seiz Bids Adieu

hris Seiz, executive director of the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences, has tendered his resignation to the board of trustees. Seiz has been the director since October 2008. In his letter to the public, Seiz said his decision to leave was a family matter as his wife, Graelyn, was offered a job in Virginia that she couldn’t refuse. “After half a year in two different states, it’s now time to call Virginia home,” said Seiz. “I’ll be transitioning to Virginia over the next few months and leaving my position with the LBIF. “This was a very difﬁcult choice to make, and I’ll greatly miss my daily interactions with Long Beach Island and the LBIF,” he continued. “The LBIF is an organization doing great things for the surrounding communities, and its good work will continue long beyond my leaving. There are many opportunities on the horizon, and the organization has several chances to strengthen itself at its doorstep.” Seiz and the board of trustees are working together to ﬁnd a new director and to ensure the transition is positive for the organization. “I will be working with the organization through the end of the calendar year, possibly longer, to ensure the LBIF is able to move smoothly into its 65th year serving the community,” he said.

SAD PARTING: LBIF Executive Director Chris Seiz will stay to help ﬁnd his replacement. Seiz came to the Foundation in 2007 as the gallery manager, moved swiftly into the position of interim director in May 2008 and became executive director that October. In his youth, he spent his summers on LBI, attending classes at the Foundation. Then he became a co-director of the children’s summer camp, where he taught weaving and felt making.

South to North End: 18 Mile Run Darts Into Its 40th Year What Do These 18 Miles Mean to You?

skyful of black birds was circling the finish line below the watchful eye of Old Barney in Barnegat Light, swirling in the head wind reflected off the lighthouse in an endless aerial ballet. It was part of the warm reception that would greet the 806 runners finishing the 40th annual Long Beach Island Commemorative 18 Mile Run on Sunday after having run the better part of the morning in the rain. The event is sponsored by St. Francis Community Center in Brant Beach in cooperation with the Jewish Community Center of Long Beach Island and is funded in part by a grant from the Ocean County Board Of Chosen Freeholders. In 1972, Bill Fitzpatrick, a Long Beach Island resident and Rutgers University track man, wanted to organize a race from one end of Long Beach Island to the other, just for fun. That same year, terrorists at the Munich Olympics murdered 11 Israeli athletes. It was then organizers decided to make it a commemorative race, dedicating it to the memory of the slain athletes. A mile-marker in honor of each athlete is posted approximately every two miles along the race route, which runs from Holgate to Barnegat Light. The race is also dedicated to those who lost their lives as a result of the events that occurred in the United States on Sept. 11, 2001. There are three mile-markers bearing the names of LBI residents who lost their lives that day. In honor of this, The SandPaper spoke with 11 runners about what exactly these 18 miles meant to him or her. Graham Merfield, 49, of Titusville finished first with a time of 1:51:32, and will have his name inscribed on the trophy that is donated by the Jewish Community Center. Though it was far from beating the race record held by ex-Rutgers star Bill Seiben

of Rahway with a time of 1:32:32, as Merfield explained it was to be expected considering the conditions. Like many of the event’s lead runners, he described the 18 miles as nothing more than a “stepping stone to a marathon.” Merfield is training for the Harrisburg marathon in midNovember. “It’s a great distance to step up,” he said. “This was great, apart from the fact that we had a headwind. It was a pretty tactical run. You use drafting (the term for running or cycling behind someone who blocks the wind); I was running behind these guys until the 16-mile mark. It really makes a huge difference.” For Colleen Tindall, 28, of Moorestown, it meant being the first woman to tear through the perforated finish line, which was repaired for her as she finished sixth overall. “It means a lot,” said Tindall. “It’s a far way to go. I’ve come to this beach since I was a little kid, and I can remember just driving this stretch and feeling like it takes forever just to get to Fantasy Island from the lighthouse, so to run the whole thing does feel pretty good. Honestly I’m just happy to be able to run at all, in general.” Tindall was there with a team from the Moorestown Distance Project, a running club that included Jim Price, whom Tindall called “the fastest 55-year-old man on the East Coast.” For Price, the 18 miles meant breaking records, as he bested the previous top time for the 55-59 age group by about a minute. “You’re never too old,” said Price. “One of my friends is 75, and he does it. Today it was hard cause it was windy and wet, but the fans were good.” Price began getting serious about distance running at age 47, ran his first full marathon at 50 and has done eight since. On the other end of the age spectrum was Ryan O’Sullivan, 20, of Basking Ridge, who came in 50th

For O’Sullivan, the 18 miles meant nostalgia. “My family’s been coming down here since I was little, so it’s pretty

nostalgic to run the whole Island. It was nice to pass landmarks, like where I used to get ice cream,” O’Sullivan said, mentioning Skipper

Dipper and The Big Dipper speciﬁcally. “I appreciated all the support, and the crowd was great.” Continued on Page 47

Littlest Dirt Bikers Hit the Sand For Thrills, Spills, Life Lessons By VICTORIA LASSONDE s dozens of kids in head-to-toe protective gear dexterously maneuvered their mini-motorcycles through the race course, tearing around sandy curves and catching air as they crested dirt mounds, one pretty blonde ponytail dangled from beneath the helmet of 9-year-old Morgan Best of Richford, N.Y., the only girl on the track, as she muscled for rank among the top racers in her 50cc class. At the finish, where Morgan was greeted and congratulated by mom Vicki, dad Paulie Sr. and 6-year-old brother Paulie Jr. (who placed fourth in the 4-6 oil-injected class), she lifted her dust-covered face shield to reveal pure exhilaration in her big, blue eyes. “You are so darn awesome!” Vicki Best beamed, praising her worn-out, dirt-caked little girl. The Pine Barons Enduro Riders’ annual Hare Scramble at the Sahara Sand mining facility in Eagleswood Township last weekend was, as always, filled with rugged terrain, fierce and good-natured competition and plenty of family fun, drawing upwards of 500 riders of every level, from

Generations Gather For Off-Road Fun greenhorn to pro, over the course of two days. And perhaps nowhere is the true spirit of the event more apparent than in the enthusiasm of its youngest participants, who start at the age of 4. The first event on Saturday was the 50cc race on a 1.5-mile course, followed by the 3-mile pee-wee race and 6-mile youth race, with riders up to age 15. Sunday the adults raced in the 7-mile C-class and 9-mile main event. Many families who had come from Massachusetts, New York, Delaware and Pennsylvania brought their bikes, equipment and supplies in trailers and camped out at the mining site Friday and/or Saturday night. The event is part of the East Coast Enduro Association’s 2012 championship series. The Pine Barons club, founded in 1971, is a participating ECEA member and sanctioned by the American Motorcyclist Association. Club president Peter Lange explained the main mission is to promote the sport in a positive light while providing safe, legal opportunities to ride and cultivating camaraderie among the participating families. For that, the club is exceedingly grateful to the Silvi family, which owns the Sahara Sand property and allows the event to take place there, year after year. The inaugural Hare Scramble was held in 2003, under different organizational leadership. Pine Barons took over two years ago. The event is also a major fundraiser for the Eagleswood Volunteer Fire Co., which benefits from the gate proceeds. For the Best family, racing has provided much-needed fun and stress relief during a very trying year, during which they experienced a devastating house fire, and Morgan broke a growth plate in her elbow. While displaced, the family took comfort in the normalcy, freedom and change of scenery to be found in traveling to different races to cheer on the kids. Though Morgan’s choice of recreational sport may be somewhat unconventional for a young girl, the company of boys on the playing field only stokes her competitive flame. And, “She’s just been getting better

and better,” her mom said. “It does scare me,” she added. But fear for her daughter’s safety is offset by pure parental pride. Paulie Sr. couldn’t be prouder. “I’ve been waiting for years,” he said. “She’s always been my cautious rider,” Vicki said. She started out about four years ago, very timid, on training wheels – “We used to have to walk her down hills,” Vicki said – but her drive to win became especially noticeable “when her brother started beating her.” Now, some boys in Morgan’s own age bracket are scared of her, because “they don’t like to get beat by a girl.” Her third-place class ﬁnish Saturday (seventh overall) would be factored into her ECEA point standings, where she is currently battling for second place overall. Morgan is already sponsored by Motorex, Axo and Liquid Performance. Her brother, Paulie Jr., is sponsored by Go Pro. Their parents say as long as the kids want to race, and as far as they want to take it, they will support them. The Gribbin family of Mays Landing, Atlantic County, is another example of homegrown, off-road recreation. Ryan Gribbin, 7, got his ﬁrst bike at age 3, as promised, as soon as he graduated from a bicycle with training wheels. “He slept with a dirt bike before he slept with a teddy bear,” said mom Debbie, surmising her son is no doubt inspired by his dad and teenaged brother, who also race. As a family they travel to races in New York and Maryland. For Ryan, the attraction to riding is the freedom to be himself out there on the course, Debbie said. “That’s what he does best.” As a mom, she admits she worries all the time about her boys getting injured. “I just never know what to expect,” she said. But the joy of seeing them pursue their passion, and excel, outweighs the worry. The occasional wipeout also teaches kids about resilience, she added. “When they crash, they get right back on that bike,” she said. The dedication of the riders, the investments of travel expenses and time commitments, and the support of the parents, spouses and/or kids characterize the sport as wholesome Continued on Page 39

By VICTORIA LASSONDE tafford Township Mayor John Spodofora characterizes his leadership style as “dogged determination” to get to work and achieve his goals. “When I focus on something, I’m going to keep going at it until I get it done,” he said. If he is reelected in November, Spodofora’s three main priority objectives are clearly defined for the year ahead: maintaining the fiscal health of the town, resolving the flooding problems in Ocean Acres and ramping up shared-services arrangements with like-minded neighboring communities. Along with his Republican team, running under the campaign slogan “Moving Stafford Ahead,” Spodofora hopes to continue down the ambitious path he laid out in January, cultivating the seeds of progress in the areas of taxes, debt reduction, environmental stewardship and residential quality of life for residents. “I don’t believe in problems; I only believe in solutions,” he said. “My belief is as long as you maintain open communications, you can get the word out to the people properly.” The team faces challengers in the Independent ticket “We Are Stafford,” led by mayoral candidate Paul Marchal. But, in contrast to what Spodofora sees as his political opponents’ lack of a well-defined plan, he and his running mates have specific tasks lined up and ready to tackle. “We’re not saying what we could do; we’re saying vote for us based on what we’ve already proven we have done,” Spodofora said. The Republican ticket includes Spodofora for mayor, incumbent council president Steve Fessler, incumbent councilmen Rober t Kusznikow and Henry Mancini, and newcomers Sharon McKenna, Paul Krier and Lori Wyrsch. Spodofora has been a member of town council since 1988; Fessler and Kusznikow came aboard at the start of the last term, 3½ years ago; McKenna, while active in many volunteer capacities

throughout the town, is hoping to make her council debut. For reasons that no one has definitively revealed, Mancini, Krier and Wyrsch have separated themselves from the other four and taken their campaign strategy in a different direction, citing only “philosophical differences.” Still, the seven candidates see themselves as unified in their vision for the town. Moving Stafford Ahead campaign manager Pete Slomkowski sees the split ticket as an indicator of dynamic viewpoints and diverse strengths – as evidence that reasonable people can disagree, and that differences of opinion (regarding the ways in which appointments are made and township business is handled), when discussed respectfully, can help the council reach conclusions that are best for the taxpayers. “Different ideas are good,” Fessler said. “We’re still all Republicans,” he said, with the same principles, rooted in the idea of smaller government. As McKenna pointed out, campaigning and governing are two different strategies. “I am confident that we’ll all be able to work together,” Spodofora said. “When it comes down to getting things done, whether it’s the budget or a major decision for the town, we all get into the same room; we come to a consensus. It’s going to work. Because I have confidence in all the people on the Moving Stafford Ahead ticket.” Plan the Work, Work the Plan From a fiscal standpoint, “we have never been better,” Spodofora said. To illustrate, he said, the last two annual state audits have yielded zero recommendations, which translates to no room for improvement, as far as how the town handles its money. Stafford also boasts a AAA municipal bond credit rating – the highest rating given, based on the criteria of economy, debt structure, financial condition, townwide demographics and management practices of the governing body and administration – which puts the town in prime position for loans to finance capital projects.

Stockton Holds Financial Elder Abuse Seminar

Elder abuse occurs to a part of the population that, sadly, is often afraid or powerless to report it. A seminar titled “Broken Trust: Responding to Financial Elder Abuse and Exploitation” brings information to light on Oct. 24 at the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey. The seminar is open to the public and will be held from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Atlantic County Library’s Galloway Township branch, 306 East Jimmie Leeds Road. The workshop is presented by the Stockton Center on Successful Aging (SCOSA). “Greg Banks will help you identify the various types of financial abuse being perpetrated against seniors and explain how financial abuse is linked to other forms of abuse,” sums up the calendar listing on the center’s web page. Banks is an author and recognized expert on the subject of elder abuse. Financial elder abuse is the number one crime perpetrated against people 65 years of age or older in the United States, representing over $2.6 billion in loss to elders, according to SCOSA research. “This program will provide information on the scope of the problem, describe common forms of financial abuse and perpetrators, and provide insight on detecting financial abuse,” said a preview of the program. “In addition, it will outline prevention tips for family members and suggest how and when to report suspected cases of abuse.” Call the SCOSA at 609-652-2352 for more information, or the library branch at 609-652-2352 for driving directions. The SCOSA website, containing many other topics of interest to the aging population, is Stockton.edu.scosa. —M.S.

While the Independent team has publicly questioned the administration’s budgetary practices and use of tax dollars, those who currently hold office insist their opponents are disseminating inaccurate information. “The Independents aren’t telling the public the whole story,” Fessler said. “We have been reducing (debt and costs) since the day we took office; we have been in there scrutinizing every line item and reducing our indebtedness for our taxpayers. I believe our candidates … are the best qualified for Stafford Township. We’ve done the job that they asked us to do.” The municipal debt figure is a combined total of municipal and water-sewer indebtedness, officials explained, the latter of which is selfliquidating and therefore not subject to the same kind of analysis. Since 2009, Stafford’s water-sewer debt has decreased from $84 million to $69 million in 2012. The municipal debt is also trending down, from $156 million in 2009 to $139 million this year. The town has paid down $13.5 million in bonded indebtedness in the last three years. At the regular council meeting of Oct. 2, Spodofora explained the township has managed a net debt reduction of $24,256,389 since 1998, in spite of the town’s population having more than doubled since 1995 (with 25 percent of that growth having taken place in 2000). During the town’s growth spurt, bonding was necessary in order to expand infrastructure and services, he said. The Independent candidates call out “wasteful” expenditures such as road-striping equipment, a performance stage and a graffiti-removing machine, but Spodofora and his team view those purchases as investments that not only pay for themselves but also enhance the town’s desirability. “Guess why we don’t see that much graffiti in town?” he asked. “We get rid of it immediately. I look at a machine like that, with a 10- to 20year lifespan, and I say it’s a qualityof-life issue; if I can keep the town looking nice, it’s worth it. Owning a road-striping machine is more costeffective than outsourcing the job. The stage, while costly, is a focal point of the community events that define the town and make it a desirable place to live. Such items can also be leased out

omen are invited to join an evening devoted to their personal health and wellness at Southern Ocean Medical Center’s 21st annual Women’s Health Night. This year’s event will be held 5-9 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 24 at the hospital in Manahawkin. The free evening is full of opportunities for health screenings, educational seminars, and time to meet physicians. Interactive displays and literature will be at hand for those who want to browse through at their own pace, and there will be free gifts and refreshments. Registration begins at 5 p.m. in the lobby just inside the main entrance. All events are that evening, except the cholesterol screening, for which patients sign up two days earlier (see below). Three lectures by physicians are a highlight of the educational aspect of Women’s Health Night. Breast surgeon Paramjeet Kaur, M.D. will speak on breast health at 5:30 p.m.; obstetrician and gynecologist Lisa Vernon, M.D. will speak on hormone replacement therapy at 6:30 p.m.; and cardiologist Michael Aaron, D.O. will discuss women and heart disease at 7:30 p.m. A variety of health screenings will take place that evening,

to other towns to recoup the money. “It’s return on investment. It’s investing properly in equipment and people so that we get a good return from our citizens and, meanwhile, preserve our quality of life.” The flooding issues that endanger the properties and lives of Ocean Acres residents may soon be resolved, with a plan to build a new bio-retention basin on the south side of Route 72 that would relieve the existing too-small basin near Neptune Drive. “That’s a problem that’s been plaguing residents of Ocean Acres for probably over 20 years with no real solution,” Spodofora said. With the work of the town’s engineering firm, CME Associates, he said, “we have a solution that’s going to work.” The proposed basin would also prevent stormwater runoff pollutants from entering the bay. As an added benefit, the earthen material removed from the new basin would be used as fill for new recreational athletic fields behind the Nautilus Park. Historically, Ocean Acres’ flooding problems originate with the neighborhood’s ill-conceived development, which did not account for the drainage

extremely helpful for women with busy schedules. The free screenings include: blood pressure, blood sugar, bone densitometry, colorectal cancer, skin cancer, balance, foot screenings, hearing screenings, pulmonary function and pap smears. (Participants wishing to have a free pap smear are required to schedule an appointment through 1-800-DOCTORS prior to the event.) For women who want a free lipid profile (cholesterol screening), they must come on Monday morning, Oct. 22 from 7-9 a.m. in the Beach Plum Conference Room at the hospital. Fasting for 12 hours is required prior to having blood drawn. (You may have medications and water as needed.) The lipid profile results will be available during Women’s Health Night on Oct. 24. In addition to the free lectures and health screenings, women can find a wealth of information on maternity services, nutrition, fitness, Meridian Cancer Care, Meridian Cardiovascular Network, Meridian Neurosciences, and other areas of health interest to women. Southern Ocean Medical Center is located at 1140 Route 72 West in Manahawkin. For more information, call 1-800-DOCTORS. —M.S. required to handle the stormwater runoff from so much impervious ground coverage (paving, buildings, driveways, etc.), which prohibits rain from filtering back into the groundwater. “I have a fire in my belly, and I will not rest until I get Ocean Acres’ flooding problems fixed,” Spodofora declared. On the shared-services front, Spodofora said he is forming a coalition of mayors from Long Beach Island and mainland towns from Little Egg Harbor to Lacey to discuss ways to cut costs by making better use of common resources. Initial meetings have been productive and promising, he said. “The ideas that came out of it were just astounding – everything from sharing IT mandates and services to sharing equipment and people and licenses.” By looking at the diversity among the existing skill base of the township workforce, Stafford has reduced the staff by 38 employees in the last three years and slashed overtime costs. Cross-training is one way to increase efficiency by having one person who can do multiple jobs. Continued on Page 39

Barnegat Resident Criticizes Tax Commissioner

Barnegat Township resident who earlier this year ﬁled a tax appeal against the municipality said he was appalled by the actions of an Ocean County Tax Board ofﬁcial at a hearing last month in Lacey Township. He said that at the tax appeal hearing Charles Tivenan, a commissioner and vice president of the tax board, “ridiculed” members of the public, calling them “laymen” when not accompanied by counsel. “I found the process suspect and Commissioner Tivenan’s conduct most peculiar, especially when you consider he represents himself as an attorney by trade,” said Mureo, reading aloud from a letter at a recent township committee meeting. Mureo said he attended the hearing as a public citizen.

“These hearings are open to the public,” said Mureo. “Mr. Tivenan also objected to members of the public recording the proceedings for accuracy, since no minutes are regularly available to the public. Apparently, Mr. Tivenan is unfamiliar with Roberts Rules of Order, the Open Public Meetings Act, as well as the civil, legal and constitutional rights of all Americans protected under the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. We not only need to keep the people we elect into public ofﬁce accountable for the promises they fail to keep, but to the caliber, or lack, of the people they appoint to serve the public on our behalf.” When contacted later, Tivenan referred questions to Barbara Raney, Ocean County tax administrator. Mureo sent copies of the letter to

Raney, as well as to Barnegat officials and the governor’s office. Raney could not be reached for comment by press time. Mureo said he is hoping to have his own matter with Barnegat resolved soon. He said it was the first time he had filed a tax appeal after living in town for more than 25 years. “Property taxes on my threebedroom, two-bathroom home increased by 60 percent in the last five years with little improvement to our property,” he said. “We learned from filing our appeal that our home is overassessed by $84,000 when compared to immediate neighboring municipalities. I’ve always believed in paying my fair share of taxes, but in Barnegat it got way out of hand, so it was finally time for me to do something about it.” — Eric Englund

Rams Rack Up a 13-0 Record as End of Regular Season Nears

SR Field Hockey: October, and Still Undefeated L

ast Thursday was a variation on a theme for the Southern Regional field hockey team, as a 10-0 victory against Shore Conference Class A South opponent Brick Memorial preserved the Rams’ undefeated record, now at 13 wins, and kept the total goals scored against the team this year at two. Southern closes out the regular season this week with games against a pair of solid teams: The Rams host Toms River South at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 10, and travel to Lacey for a 3:45 p.m. game on Friday, Oct. 12. Not long after, the Shore Conference and New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association tournaments begin. Southern is optimistic about its chances against both its A South rivals and the traditionally tough Monmouth County teams they’ll face in States. “This is a year when I honestly believe we can compete with them,” said coach Kathy Snyder. Defender Molly McElwee, one of the Rams’ four senior captains, feels confident about the end of the regular season and the start of tournament play. Other teams are aware of Southern’s success this season, and are consequently gunning for them, “but we’re just as excited to get out there as they are,” McElwee remarked. Midfielder and captain Elyse Broderick agreed. “I def initely believe this team will continue to play well. … The harder competition will definitely make us work harder. “The key for winning against stronger teams is to play together, push each other and stay positive,” she added. “I’m really excited,” said Sam Burns, also a midfielder and team captain. “We’ve never really had this opportunity before. We have to want this.” As a member of Southern’s perennially successful track team, Burns understands the pressure that comes along with a high-profile season. “If we set our minds to it and play at a higher level, we can go far,” she said of the Rams hockey team. Last year, Southern finished 11-6-2 and took second in Shore Conference. In fact, the team is somewhere in the decent to excellent range each year. “We have remained competitive,” said Snyder, who has coached the team since the late 1970s. “If we’ve had a losing season, I can’t remember when it was. “Very few teams have the feeder program and numbers that we do.” And this year, with this team of girls in particular, something clicked. “What a hard-working group,” Snyder remarked. “They really go outside the box” as far as devoting additional time to f ield hockey as part of various club teams and developmental programs. The season’s success to this point “is a credit to them, and to their parents.” As midfielder Arielle Galgano, the fourth of the captains, explained, “A lot of girls on the varsity team play hockey in the off-season.” In addition, the girls have played together for years, and simply “mesh well,” she added.

“I think playing hockey in the off-season, working together, and the bond all the girls share has most contributed to our team’s success,” Broderick concurred. “We’re a very close team; we all get along so well.” “We all kind of act like family,” Burns noted. “I have a great coach and I have great teammates,” said McElwee. “It’s just worked out.” The girls give Snyder much credit for their achievements on the field. “What Snyder puts us through in practice really shows in our games,” including lots of defensive drills and corners, McElwee explained. “Snyder’s been a great coach,” said Burns, and she would love to win Shore Conference and States for her. “Before every game Snyder tells us to go out strong, score right away, and keep our feet left,” said Broderick, who, like the other three captains, plans to play field hockey in college. She will certainly miss her Rams teammates and her coach. “Without her, I wouldn’t have become the player I am today.” “Coach Snyder commends us for everything we do – she’s very proud of us – but she also drills us harder because everyone’s out to get us,” said Galgano. “She keeps us down to earth.” A 10-0 win? Regardless, postgame sprints await. Snyder said she aims to give all the seniors playing time as well as provide the younger girls with game experience, and, of course concurrently, be competitive – score goals, prevent goals and win games. Nine girls scored in last Thursday’s match-up with Brick Memorial. And the ball didn’t often come near senior goalie Anastasia Pona. A number of parents watched the action from the sidelines, including Susan and Dan Galgano. “The kids have worked hard in and out of season, and all the captains have been together since seventh-grade,” said Susan. “The defense and the offense are both very strong,” she added. “They’ve surpassed what anybody ever thought,” said Sam Burns’ mom, Betty. “They play so well together, and I’m so proud of them.” As Arielle Galgano noted, the parents, and the district’s teachers and students, have all been incredibly supportive of the team, and have undoubtedly enjoyed spectating the girls’ unbeaten streak this remarkable season. “I’m really proud to be part of such a successful program with a great group of girls,” she remarked. “And I wouldn’t want anyone other than Snyder coaching. “It’s very rewarding. I’m excited to keep going!” In addition to Broderick, Burns, Galgano, McElwee and Pona, the members of 2012 Rams field hockey team are Brianna Angellella, Meagan Coughlin, Ann Marie Stango, Lia Stango, Taylor Rossi, Renee Chambers, Kieran McBrien, Allison Spaschak, Meghan Horleman, Shana Hayes, Mary Conroy, Madison Alessi, Anna Schmoll, Lizzy Schmoll, Allison Ollivier, Sarah Lynch, Kelsey Sullivan, Rianna Martarano, Christina Carney, Sarah Clark, Tiffany Brant and Madison Skeie. — Juliet Kaszas-Hoch

WAS AND IS HERE:‘The Stoneman’ is Mike LoCasale (third from left) with his crew, Andy Sieber, Robert Gatton and Jack Grabowski, here pictured outside the company yard on Route 9 in West Creek.

Business Has Been Rock-Solid For ‘The Stoneman’ Over 30 Years Maria Scandale

YES, SIR: Michael Yllanes started the cleaning service for residential and business customers and hopes to employ a growing number of military veterans.

‘The Drill Sergeant’ Cleaning Company Is Vet Helping Vets

he Drill Sergeant is a cleaning company run by a 33-year-old U.S. military veteran with two premises in mind: one, that “the customers’ needs are of the utmost importance,” and, to employ other veterans and establish a fund to help them. Michael Yllanes, of Barnegat, immigrated to America from Peru at age 21 and is proud to be an American citizen, and a new member of the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce. Those who meet him get a first impression of maturity and efficiency that exudes from someone who has served two deployments of Army artillery combat in Iraq. “I don’t feel satisfied unless it’s clean the way I really want it. We’re on time and we don’t leave until the job gets done; that’s the way it is in the military,” Yllanes described his work ethic. The name of the company, The Drill Sergeant, is in reference to the post he was once offered. He is now due to receive a medical discharge, which was one of the elements that led to starting his own business. As he explained how he launched his cleaning service, he said that adjustment to civilian life is difficult for some veterans coming out of combat – for many reasons. Among them, companies want experience. “It’s hard to find a job when you

come back from the military. I was an artillery guy in the military. Then when you come back to real life, that doesn’t convert to anything,” he said. So he began thinking of some way to go into business for himself. At about the same time eight months ago, his wife, Lizeth, gave birth to their second child by Cesarean section, and needed some help cleaning their twostory house. The couple made calls to some cleaning services and were not satisﬁed with what they found to be “unprofessional” services that “didn’t offer things we were looking for, and some didn’t even call back,” Yllanes said. That further led to The Drill Sergeant. The Drill Sergeant, with insured and bonded operators, is described on its website as: “based on the belief that our customers’ needs are of the utmost importance.” It adds, “Our entire team is committed to meeting those needs. As a result, a high percentage of our business is from repeat customers and referrals.” “Let the professionals handle the dirty work,” invites the slogan on the business card. “If you dream of walking into an immaculate house, without taking the time or effort, The Drill Sergeant is ready to help,” the website adds, with competitive rates for all types of cleaning, including: weekly cleaning; special event preparation or clean-up; spring cleaning; move-out/move-in;

By MARIA SCANDALE he Stoneman, Mike “Stony” LoCasale, has been on the job for three decades, and by now, satisﬁed customers might also be third-generation clients. He backs up a job well done with the sign “The Stoneman Was Here.” The business is delivery and spread of aggregate material to customers on Long Beach Island and in surrounding areas. Between the good word of referrals and how assured inquirers are after they talk to The Stoneman on the phone, LoCasale gets about 95 percent of the jobs from people who call. “Along with delivery of stone, we also spread the stone and install pavers. We do landscaping, grading, all aspects of maintaining a person’s property,” he speciﬁed. Most of the orders are for standard washed stone that fills the homeowner’s need for a ground cover that is both practical and cosmetic. At the shore, stone is in demand, and The Stoneman gets the average job down and evenly spread in about three to four hours. Paver work takes a little longer, of course.

Equipment is well maintained. A 12-ton truck handles bigger jobs; next down is a 6-ton vehicle, then two pickups, along with various-sized pieces of equipment for spreading the stone, and attachments. In a normal day, they lay between 40 and 60 tons of stone, the guys on the job counted. “One reason we’re so successful is the great employees that we’ve got and the hard work they do, the dedication they have,” LoCasale said as the crew gathered at the West Creek headquarters to start another day. “It’s a lot of time and a lot of energy, but in the end it’s all worthwhile,” The Stoneman said as he took stock of his efforts. “Very few complaints, a lot of satisfied customers, and enough at the end of the week for a good bottle of wine!” Asked what his formula is for customer service, he said, “One, being on time; two, reputation; and three, the customer-contractor relationship.” Being on time can be “one of the most difficult parts of the business” for a contractor, he added. “You can’t have breakdowns; you can’t have flat tires. My men show up all the time,

(and) they’re always on time.” At the end of the day, LoCasale still has two or three hours’ worth of work, and that’s generally when he returns phone calls from prospective customers. As a business, The Stoneman evolved, you might say, after LoCasale worked for a friend in the business and found out he liked it. Originally from the suburbs of Philadelphia, his family spent summers at the shore. “During the summertime growing up, I did everything from clamming, working at the A&P, and a friend of mine was doing this. I started working for him as a laborer. I was at Drexel University and they had a co-op, six months in and six months out, so I went out for six months and started The Stoneman business and stayed in it. “So, I’m not sure what I’m going to do when I grow up, but I think I’m going to die The Stoneman!” he concluded with a grin. The Stoneman can be reached at 609-494-4106 or 609-597-1767. Y Business-related items may be sent to mariascandale@thesandpaper.net

commercial spaces, and more. “We only use cleaning products that are safe for children and pets, and every member of our team is trained in cleaning techniques for efﬁcient and spotless results,” the company owner said. Desire to Help Veterans An Underlying Goal Discussing more about his desire to help veterans like himself, Yllanes is referring to providing some jobs, and also to building a fund. “When we come home, it’s hard for us to adapt because of the stuff we go through, the tension … I came up with the idea of offering jobs to veterans, or to the families of veterans. That’s why I became a member of the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars,” said Yllanes, who has also served with the National Guard as a recruiter. “At the same time, we thought, why not also create a fund, sharing the proﬁt that we’re going to make.

“When I came home from overseas, getting back was a tough process for me. I got help from the VA medical center in East Orange; they’re great people. I said, why not start a fund that helps veterans just like me? We all have many different needs. We all come back from accidents or situations. I feel very strongly that I really want to do more for them, but ﬁrst of all, it’s getting them a job.” As his cleaning business expands, he wants to hire veterans and work with them on ﬂexible hours that would still allow them to go to school if they wanted to train for a new career. He joined the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce shortly after starting his new business, he said, “because that’s the right way to do it; to get to know people.” Introduced at a meeting this summer as a new member, he said later, “I felt very good that day in that place; they’re people with good intentions.” Yllanes also talks about the op-

portunities that have met him in this country. “I feel a connection with this country. I had no doubt but to give my life for this country. So many good things have happened to me here, and I’ve met so many good people. And now my wife and my kids have great memories here.” Although he lost his best friend, who died during the second tour in Iraq, Yllanes said, “I met people like him in this country. This country gave me so much. I’m so proud to be a citizen of this country.” The company offers 20 percent off of a new customer’s ﬁrst cleaning service. Hours of operation are: Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; Sunday, closed. “We would welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and deliver you the best service in the industry,” the website concludes.

Continued from Page 35 “So when I step outside our town’s borders, and I say on a shared-service basis, what does this town have, what does that town have, what do we have? … I am so completely optimistic that that is the new direction we’re going to be going in, in all governments, but especially in our local governments. … Different towns are capable of different things, but if we all share in that, it’s going to be really good. It’s a new way of running government. It’s a very big thing.” In line with the campaign slogan, Spodofora said, “We’re not worried about looking back; we’re worried about looking forward. Because if you’re looking back, you can’t see where you’re going.” Looking forward, another high priority for the council will be Beach Haven West, where the lagoons regularly shoal up in several trouble spots. A committee, headed up by Kusznikow, has been assembled to study the silting up of the lagoons and is in talks with officials in Tuckerton, who have been successful in getting dredging done. But the difficult question is where to put the dredge material. To obtain dredging permits for all of the lagoons is expensive and complex, Spodofora said, whereas smaller areas can be done more easily. But the important thing is to understand why shoaling is happening in order to prevent it from recurring. Meanwhile the search is on for funding to get the whole job done. “It’s a long process, but hopefully we will get there,” Kusznikow said. “Because this is something that (Beach Haven West residents) have been concerned about for many, many years.” The hallmarks of the “Moving Stafford Ahead” campaign are communication, transparency and honesty, the candidates say, all of which will advance the cause of the new “crosspollination” approach to government. Spodofora said he does not validate any “Good Old Boy network” and instead hires professionals based only on their qualifications, credentials and costs, not their party affiliation. “We are what the people want us to be,” Kusznikow said. “They are in charge of whatever it is that they want out of this government. We’re not here … to make things better for us. We’re doing it for them.” In his view, the best advice he can give the voters is “Know your candidates.” Y victorialassonde@thesandpaper.net

Continued from Page 34 and down-to-earth (literally). The life lessons and bonding that come along with the fun are icing on the cake. As Pine Barons club president Peter Lange pointed out, most of the kids are introduced to the sport by a parent, making it a multi-generational pastime. At the same time, the kids get an education in ﬁxing and maintaining the bikes, changing the tires and developing an interest in the science of the sport. “My son, he’s 17, he can take a motorcycle engine down to its individual parts and put it back together. Now he wants to be a mechanical engineer,” Lange said. It also brings together a cross-section of society, where tradesmen and executives are all the same on two wheels, he said. Joe Springer of Southampton, Burlington County, a Pine Barons member since the ’80s and an off-road rider of 42 years, described enduro as “a gentleman’s sport.” “It’s you, the course, and the clock,” added Lange. Lange’s wife, and club treasurer, Vicki Lange, said “the competition factor is there, but right after, they’re all back to being pals.” Y victorialassonde@thesandpaper.net

Continued from Page 31 His ﬁrst movie was playing John in “Bittersweet,” a 2008 drama written and directed by Greg Levins. But the youngster says that if the middle school wants to take advantage of his acting ability for a production, they should look elsewhere. “I don’t like the stage,” he said. “It’s boring. You’re waiting out there to go on stage, and then when the play is over, you’re done. I did a show for the Our Gang Players, and I didn’t enjoy it. You have to wait around a lot on a movie shoot, too, but at least there is a lot of activity going around and people to talk to and new friends to meet.” Ormond first got comfortable under the camera’s glare by doing commercials by the time he was 5. “After commercials, I wanted to see how far I can go,” the youngster recalled. “I ﬁgured, why not give it a shot.” Ormond has more than a dozen commercials to his credit. Not all of them are speaking roles, as in some he appears as a family member sitting in a living room or tagging along with mom on a shopping trip. But in a commercial for the Ikea furniture chain, his character is seen walking up to his mother with a frown on his face. When she asks him what is wrong, he says his teacher gave him a bad grade for having an “overactive imagination.” He then presents his mom with a crayon drawing of a bedroom. For a commercial pitching Walgreen’s Ready

Response Medical Alert System, Ormond’s character looks at his grandmother and says, “It makes her feel safe, and I like that.” The commercial closes when he says, “Endorsed by grandchildren everywhere.” He has also done plugs for Verizon Fios, Netﬂix, Gastrol GTX, Swiffer Wet Jet, Baltimore Gas and Electric, Destiny USA, Pennsylvania Tourism and Georgia Paciﬁc, among others. In addition to commercials for TV, he made a brief appearance on the television series “Royal Pains” in Season Three. His mother said Joshua’s career sprang up accidentally when he was a toddler. He had come along when his mom went to VS Talent Group to enroll his sister, Gabriella. “Joshua wasn’t even 3 yet,” she recalled. “He kept popping his head in, opening the door, wondering what we were talking about. He was very curious. They took a liking to him. I also think it was easier for him to get an opportunity. With girls, there is a lot more competition for doing commercial spots.” Gabriella, now 15, has appeared in some commercials with her brother. When not acting, Joshua likes participating in most sports, as well as playing video games and computers. “In school, my favorite subject is math,” he remarked. Some child actors grow out of their roles and have continuing success as adults. Then there are others, perhaps from bitter experiences, who leave show business altogether. “I’m still interested in being an actor,” he says. “If not, maybe I’ll study to be a lawyer.” Y ericenglund@thesandpaper.net

Boom Go the Bass Baits; Blueﬁsh Says, ‘Let It Bleed’ M

ornings have felt 40s for air temps. They’ve had the feel and smell of fall – that odd combination of fresh, pinelands fragrances and the far more distant, but discernable odor of industrial smells from as far away as Pittsburgh. I can pick up steel mill smells a mile away – more like 400 miles away. Back in the day, such fall air indicators would have me scurrying back to Hawaii for warmth – and to resurrect an underwater business I kept splashing around for just such winter escapes. Nowadays, fall beach buggying, surf plugging, Holgate haunting and Pinelands traipsing have adequately replaced the tropics. This autumn, being stuck here has stood in for Hawaii exceptionally well. What an amazingly Indian Summerized September. Absolutely epic. While October has thrown open the doors to true autumn, there’s something righteous (old hippy term) about the strangely nostalgic messages within showers and offshore breezes. CLASSIC LAUNCH: The fallfeel is part-and-parcel to the Long Beach Island Surf Fishing Classic, now in the first week of its eightweek run. Per recent tradition, the first week of the Classic is more of a stretching exercise. We loosen up by going through the surfcasting motions, knowing the more challenging fish will come – eventually. There was nary a single weigh-in, bass or blue, over the weekend. A single 34-inch or greater striper coulda been money, so to speak, factoring in the Fisherman’s Headquarters $100 weekend (both Saturday and Sunday) special prize, along with the $35 daily value prize. I heard an enterable bass was caught on Saturday but the catcher had failed to enter the Classic. Pity.

Wanna be equally pitiful? Keep putting off entering the Classic. We did see Chris Moore bring an 18-pounder to Classic scales on Monday, breaking the ice – in 67-degree water. CANNONS BOOM ON THE BEACH: May the first volleys ring out in the war between surfcasters and just out-of-reach fishes. That’s my mercenarial read on what the Surf Rocket is now bringing to our beachfront. “Que es un Surf Rocket?” you ask in broken Spanish, for whatever reason. Well, amigo, the Surf Rocket is actually a bona fide surf cannon, designed to add boom to your bait. It’s oddly legal – for now. Looking suspiciously akin to your friendly, everyday mortar launcher, the leaning tubular device uses compressed air to literally launch your hook, line and sinker into outer space – where you can then leisurely fish for UFOs. Closer to reality, it truly does launch your bait up to 500 frickin’ feet. That’s over one and a half football fields – with a couple extra points thrown in for good measure. You can also downsize the launches. Here’s the read from the Surf Rocket’s website: “The Surf Rocket, a specially designed compressed air casting cannon … gives you the upper hand by allowing you to cast your bait into the deep water, past the sand bar, without a boat, right from the beach.” This new angling item is just plain weird, thus my utter mesmerization. From my vantage as a mature journalist, the first train of thought jumping into my enquiring mind is, “What the hell else can this bugger launch seaward?” OK, say we put, like, a frozen Cornish game hen into it – or, perish the thought, a couple of pigeons? Calm

down, Dick, there are plenty enough pigeons to go around. Also, I’m not sure why, but a couple boxes of Green Giant Brussels Sprouts jumps to mind as something that really should be seen, at least once in a lifetime, soaring 500 feet into space. Less professionally, I can picture some of my surfing buddies sitting in the line-up freaking out as kernels of creamed corn come raining down. More along angling lines, what about catch-and-release, Surf Rocketstyle? Overheard in Holgate: “Guess that last bass J-mann caught was too small. Look at that sucker fly.” (Truth be told, that bass was plenty big enough. I just couldn’t resist.) The Surf Rocket folks bring up a decent sell point by hyping their launcher as also serving as a highpowered chumming device. Their words: “With our system you can chum any area before fishing. No more chasing tides for deep water or watching birds work on the bait out of reach.” While I’m admittedly instantly sold on anything that can launch a loaf of stale Italian bread at passing Jet Skiers, I’m far from sold on indiscriminately placing veritable mortar launchers in the hands of oft-cranky, sleep-deprived, caffeine-saturated, fall surfcasters. I believe only the few, the proud, the thoroughly trained – like myself – should be issued, I mean sold, Surf Rockets. Yes, they can launch lures, providing you have time before the tide rises to reel them back in. I can picture myself trucking up to surf fishing folks and saying, “Hey, for $20, my Surf Rocket and I will chum this piece of ocean to hell and back. Ten bucks more and I’ll launch your lines for the next hour. Fifty bucks will get you a rocket full of rotten bunker sprayed on those surfcasters

Local Anglers Advised to Recycle Line

ith the fall fishing season in full swing on Long Beach Island, anglers are advised to recycle monofilament fishing line at area collection sites in order to keep this material out of landfills and open water. Monofilament – typically singlestrand, high-density, flexible plastic – “takes a very long time to break down, leading to entanglements and ingestion in numerous marine species, causing injury and possible death,” said Chris Huch, executive director for Alliance for a Living Ocean. “Stray monofilament lines can also cause harm to swimmers, divers, and cause damage to boat propellers,” he added. “Monofilament collection programs remove these hazards from the marine environment with the added benefit of recycling.” ALO hopes to set up a collection box at its headquarters in Ship Bottom this winter; Huch is currently looking into grants and other options “to support the purchase and running of the necessary shipping of the monofilament once it is collected.”

The recycled line can be made into products such as fish habitats, tackle boxes and spools for monofilament. In Long Beach Township, Oceanside Bait and Tackle in Beach Haven Crest, Jingles Bait and Tackle in North Beach Haven and Robbie’s Loveladies Marina all have monofilament line recycling receptacles on site, while a local resident acts as the steward for a collection bin at the southernmost tip of Holgate. Barnegat Light, meanwhile, collects fishing line, nets and other angling-related materials at the Public Works yard at 10 West 10th St., which is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Fishing line receptacles can be found throughout the other Island municipalities as well, including at Fisherman’s Headquarters in Ship Bottom and on Taylor Avenue in Beach Haven. Residents and vacationers may contact the municipalities directly to find the nearest monofilament fishing line recycling collection sites. —J.K.-H.

A Classic First Initial Weigh-in Gets Tourney Hoppin’ A START: Chris Moore displays his just-caught 18-14 striper, taken on a bunker chunk chucked into the Holgate Rip on Monday afternoon. It was the first fish entered in the 2012 Long Beach Island Surf Fishing Classic. who are snaking in on your spot.” Ka-ching. Scary thought: As hook, line and sinker are Surf Rocketed forth – at who knows how many feet per second – just imagine the line sizzling off the free-spool reel and suddenly getting fouled. “Hey, Dan, check that out: There’s a rod and reel flying in formation with them-there mud ducks?” READYING FOR FALL FISHING: For my part, I’ve been honing hooking skills by catching and recatching 2-pound tailor blues, seemingly named that due to the way each one seems tailor made: the same size and shape, one after another. Throwing only plugs, I’ve caught 50 or more – maybe as many as 100 – of the aggressive little suckers, all on light gear. Working on lure-throwing techniques, hook-setting strategies and finesse-fighting/landing of the blues, I’m now hopefully tuned for the bigger biters to come. GIMME BACK MY FINGERTIP!: There was an out of the blue price to pay for toying with bluefish, oft referred to as ocean piranha. For whatever macho-esque reason, I always opt to bare-handedly remove hooks from highly pissed-off tailor blues. That habit came back to bite me in the ass – though, technically, the ass was my thumb in this case. Huh? In what was a burst of compassion for a rather skinny bluefish that had taken half my three-treble lure down the gullet, I tried to finesse the throated hook out by pushing the

plug a tad deeper into the fish’s throat – hoping to loose the tail treble. It’s actually a fairly common dehooking practice when certain types of fish are throated-hooked. But not a frickin’ bluefish, Jay! The foul-hooked, foul-mooded fish responded to my kindness – and those sweet, wicked-sharp hooks in its mouth – by (possibly purposely) chopping down with dissection intent on the end of my right thumb and fingernail. The pain was pretty damn respectable, as in, “You son-of-a- …!” The predicament that followed was borderline bizarre. The bugger went into one of those famed bluefish bulldog clampdowns. I could see it in its eyes. “When bluefish eyes are smilin’ …” The fish knew full well it had chomped down on a goodly hunk of human hand meat. Some might say I became the essence of a finger mullet. It had no intention of letting go – ever. With the pain du moment soaring, I mentally scrambled to recall the charts regarding how long it takes a fish to die out of water. Those mental charts kept blurring as I discovered that bluefish could deliver volleys of enhanced bite-down power, above and beyond utter clampdown. Between surges of pain, a bit of survivalist brilliance struck me. I rushed into knee-deep water, lowered the two-pound ogre in and loudly said, “Here ya go, buddy. You’re free to swim away.” Continued on Page 43

Continued from Page 42 I was, of course, lying through my teeth since the fish still had that engorged hook holding fast. Fortunately, bluefish aren’t the brightest fish in the ocean. Feeling a mere splash of freedom, it disenchomped. No sooner was I set free, than my heartbeat essentially took over. The sudden de-toothing allowed my blood to throb its way out, quite freely. Despite bleeding like a stuck pig, I still had a humane chore to perform. With rivers of redness flowing down my arm and off my elbow, I rushed the hooked – and now doubly pissed fish – back to my truck. Grabbing an instantly reddened pair of pliers, I metallically completed the dehooking process. Yes, I was then tempted to bite it back – hours later, with salt and pepper. Instead, I released the bloody thing. It swam off, no worse for wear – and likely anxious to tell the pack about what it had done. As I bay washed the wound, I saw I wasn’t bitten all that badly, thanks to my fingernail having had my back. Nonetheless, a decent chunk of my thumb would be sleeping with the fishes that night. I coulda used a couple stitches, but, typically, my emergency stitch-up kit was nowhere to be found. And I wasn’t about to resort to using a sewing needle and fishing line – again. Besides, the gash actually profited from some serious gushing. It’s a cleansing thing, since blues have been known to carry some nasty-ass bacteria in their mouths. Before finally wrapping the bite, I saw the chuckle-worthy irony that anglers often “bleed” bluefish being kept for din-din. Paybacks are surely a bitch. I even got another chuckle when I got home, opened my Hotmail, and the very first e-mail announced, “Jay, You can receive compensation for your injury!” Wanna bet? HOLGATE MIS-HAPPENING: Despite the paucity of boats buzzing about over the windy weekend, wouldn’t ya know it, another fracas broke out in Holgate. A lone vessel came puttering into the back cut and the skipper decided he was going to pull in right where half a dozen folks were fishing – and just as many were throwing net, myself among them. “What are you thinking, buddy?” In this instance, the arriving vessel was way out of line. It was truly as if the captain was saying, “I don’t care what all you people are doing along the bank, we’re here now. Just go somewhere else.” The verbal exchanges, as the vessel tried to anchor up – after drifting over fishing lines – got very heated. One of the vociferous gals on the vessel – where are the gals learning this language!? – screamed that they needed to anchor out of the wind. No s***, Sherlock. You’re out casually cruising around with small craft advisories flying. It was as if we were supposed to pay for their jaunt in junk conditions. The captain and his cussin’ gal crew anchored a bit farther down the beach, pretty much out of our way. He could have easily anchored that discreetly to begin with. But, no, that one-boat gang wanted to pull up right where everyone was fishing.

Fortunately, we’re just about past the “party beach” period for the Holgate back cut – and not a cuss too soon. As for the Holgate drive-on, the ramp has been holding its own, admirably. The sandbagged stretch is taking high tide hits but offers access and egress once the tides drain off. On the beach, the dead forest area – threefourths of the way to the Rip – is tight to impassable during the highest high tides. There is a slight overland trail near the ex-shrubberies that allows vehicular passage during some high tides. However – take this to heart, or else – if you get up there and the loose embankment toward the ocean gives way, you will roll your buggy. Fishing at the Rip and back cut is down to small blues and less than occasional stripers. For more fishing fodder, try www.jaymanntoday.ning.com. A WARNING – OF SORTS: I want to end this column on a preemptive note, as much for all y’all as for myself. I just got word that over the weekend a tragedy befell a cockroach-eating contest in Miami. I assure you this is all true. I don’t kid about cockroach-eating contests. Edward Archbold, 32, West Palm Beach, died after acing the biggest cockroach-eating contest the Sunshine State has to offer. Out of 30 apparently insectivorous contestants, Archbold bugged out on dozens of the live and kicking bugs, beating out the second-place finisher by something like a leg’s length. The Ben Siegel Reptile Store in Deerfield Beach, an area fairly well known for top-grade edible insects, sponsored the contest. While I have visited Deerfield Beach many times for volleyball, I simply never had spare time to try any of its six-legged fare – unless you count the three gals I had on my co-ed team. Anyway, I think this a wake-up call for the many of us considering competitive cockroach swallowing for both fun and extra income. At the same time, I’m encouraged by University of California Riverside entomologist Michael Adams, who was quoted by Associated Press as saying, “Unless the roaches were contaminated with some bacteria or other pathogens, I don’t think that cockroaches would be unsafe to eat.” He added that he has never heard of someone dying after consuming cockroaches. I appreciate Michael’s expertise, but did he – or anyone at the contest – explore the potential impact of the types of cockroaches being downed alive? We’ve all seen those Southern cockroaches? Hell, just one of ’em can knock you clean off a stool, then shove you around, claiming you tried to trip him. Downing a mere dozen of those suckers and then have them team up inside your stomach? I suggest that those little swallowable cameras be added to upcoming cockroach-eating contests. They might show us a whole lot. I know I’ll pay extra to see those YouTube videos. Sadly, the trickledown effect of the Deerfield Beach digestive disaster has led to (again, gospel truth) Six Flags Great America canceling all the cockroach-eating contests it had scheduled nationwide. Admittedly, that sounds like a bit of an overreaction, but, hey. (It’s news stories like this one when I begin to truly believe that those of us living in Southern Ocean County are, indeed, clueless to the true goings-on in the world around us.)

oday to the people of Ocean County, the Outer Banks of North Carolina mean a vacation destination of golf courses and sandy beaches. But 150 years ago, they looked at it as the place where their sons, brothers and husbands were spilling their blood for the defense of the Union. The 9th New Jersey volunteers, which included most of the sons of Ocean County, were part of the 15,000-man expeditionary force commanded by 37-year-old Gen. Ambrose Burnside from Rhode Island. As part of the overall Union strategy to defeat the Confederacy called the “Anaconda plan,” the 9th would blockade the unindustrialized South and seize her ports, bringing her to her knees. In mid-January 1862 as Burnside’s fleet anchored off Hatteras Inlet, the 9th suffered its first losses when its colonel and surgeon drowned in the surf while returning from a meeting with Burnside. On Jan. 16 in heavy seas, the fleet began to enter the inlet. New Jersey state historian John Y. Fosterer wrote in 1868, “On the morning of the 16th, the brigantine Dragon, having on board five companies of the 9th, attempted to enter the inlet, but struck upon the bar, where she pitched heavily for several hours. Great fears were entertained for the safety of the ship until the steamer Patuxent hove in sight, attracted by the flashes of the rifles, which were being fired under direction of Sergeant Thomas Burnet. “A line was finally thrown to the steamer, and a hawser attached, when the brig was drawn off the dangerous reef into deep water. In less than an hour, the vessel was anchored safely within the harbor, the men being greeted with deafening cheers by their more fortunate comrades who had already arrived.” Lt. James Madison Drake from Trenton was on board. “When the out-coming vessel neared us, Burnside, our idolized commander, was seen clinging to a rope-ladder on its starboard side, and shortly afterwards, a hawser was thrown aboard and fastened, and in a few minutes all had the satisfaction of knowing that the brig was off the bar, and being towed out into deep water. When at a proper distance, our vessel’s bow was again headed towards the shore and the myriad of lights within the harbor, and with a fair start we passed ‘the Rubicon’ – the ever dangerous breakers – and rode safely in smooth waters beyond – comrades of other regiments that had preceded us giving vent to lusty cheers, to which we responded with no uncertain sound.” The Jerseyans didn’t realize how lucky they were. The New York Times reported on Jan. 29, “The steamer Pocahontas, well known as a Baltimore and Chesapeake boat, which was chartered to convey horses to this point, and which had on board 113 horses, mostly belonging to the Rhode Island Fourth Regiment, went ashore in a storm on Friday night last, about twelve miles north of Hatteras, and all the horses, except 24, which swam ashore, were lost. No lives of the crew were lost. … The sending to sea of this worthless old hulk, after it was known how utterly unsafe she was with a full deck load of valuable horses and a crew of men, was most inexcusable. There was drunkenness and disorder on board. The boat is said to have been built in 1829. “Valuable horses were thrown overboard ten miles at sea, and when the vessel struck, or was near the beach, the teamsters who had charge of the horses were so careful of their own worthless carcasses, that they refused to go down on the lower deck and cut the halters of the animals, thus leaving the poor brutes to perish on the wreck. When they might nearly all have been saved. The Government ought to sift this case to the bottom, and call as witnesses the pilot of the Spaulding, and George Brown, an intelligent surfman of Long Branch, both of whom were on board.” The Times stated, “One horse, a fine gray just as the vessel was going to pieces, moved briskly to the Captain’s cabin and entered it. In a moment that quarter of the vessel broke away, the horse, in the meanwhile, holding his ground. His position was maintained with the steadiness of a

man; he had found a life preserver, and he made excellent use of it. As the waves would heave the portion of the wreck hither and thither, he would balance himself and ‘hold on,’ till finally, after much skillful engineering, he got ashore in the Captain’s cabin. “A dog, the property of a Rhode Island soldier, left the wreck in the midst of the confusion, and got ashore on a plank. Seeing that all the men were not yet off, he became uneasy, as if anxious respecting their safety. He faced the huge breakers, jumped in, swam to the wreck and got on. By this time all the soldiers were on the line going to the beach from the wreck. He now stood wondering how he should again reach the shore and join ‘his regiment,’ when he saw a bale of hay floating from the wreck, and mounted it, and held his ground well till he got safely on the beach, when seeing all his friends safe, he wagged his tail and appeared glad.” A member of the 9th from Cape May, Samuel Dilks, became a hero. According to Drake, “Dilks, who had been detailed to superintend the transportation of the horses, said he would swim ashore with a line. His comrades were surprised, but from what they had already seen of him they believed him capable of accomplishing almost anything he undertook. This brave soldier put the sailors to shame on divesting himself of coat and shoes. Speedily fastening one end of a light line around his body, he stepped boldly upon the vessel’s gunwale, and, awaiting a favorable moment, sprang in among the foaming and angry breakers, and by dint of great exertion, succeeded in reaching the beach – thus raising the hopes of those whom he had left behind to the highest pitch – the hearts of all beating wildly. “When the shore end had been secured, the sailors on board tightened the hawser – then, one by one, deserted the vessel.” When the female cook was too panic stricken to save herself, Dilks “deliberately walked out into the cold and beating surf, seized the hawser with his left hand, in order to steady himself, and then commenced swimming vigorously with his right. … “The old cook, who had been crying for ‘help,’ while she was glad to see Dilks standing by her side, declined to do as the corporal requested – insisting that he could not carry her to the shore. Dilks thought the woman ungrateful; but ungrateful or not, he was determined that she should go back with him. Procuring a piece of rope he watched his opportunity, and seizing the obdurate female, bound her to his back, and, despite her resistance, sprang into the yawning sea, and almost before those on shore were certain of his having left the ship, they saw him struggling in the heavy surf. “Dilks’ unselfish and daring act formed the theme of conversation around many a camp fire for years afterwards.” As the storm continued, it created desperate situations. According to the Times, “Today, affairs in the harbor are in a deplorable state. The severity of the gale prevents all communication between the vessels of the fleet. The Admiral is nearly out of water; her coal is exhausted, and no coal means no water. A vessel with 300 troops (Massachusetts Twenty-Fourth) on board, within as many hundred yards of us, has her colors set in the rising. Union down. She is probably in the same condition with ourselves – no water on board. Here comes a boat from the Cossack, covered with the feathery spray. She comes alongside of the Admiral, and an officer hands Gen. Burnside a message. It is a cry of water. Six hundred troops of the Fifty-first Pennsylvania Regiment on board, and six reports, and no water – nor whisky. The General reads the letter with moistened eyes, and frankly informs the messenger that their only resource is to go to the Southfield for it. If the gale continues there will soon be no water. Water nowhere, and not a drop to drink.” Finally the storm abated, and Drake and the rest of the 9th could deal with their fallen comrades. Continued on Page 49

Continued from Page 33 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a run down memory lane,â&#x20AC;? agreed Maggie Kanak, 46, of Newtown, Pa., who ďŹ nished 39th. Despite the 18-mile, ďŹ&#x201A;at straight line the run follows, Kanak said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get bored. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing how many things are the same, but yet itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s changed an awful lot, too. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice that a lot of people who live down here are out there cheering you on despite the weather. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really helpful as a runner, especially when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at about mile 13. In general, if you can run 18, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be able to run a marathon. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good distance. Of course halfway through, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going, why am I running this? It seems so much easier to drive.â&#x20AC;? For Ted Shalack, 49, the 18 miles meant a chance for humor. Picture someone looking and sounding like the father from â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Pieâ&#x20AC;? played by Eugene Levy. Now picture him covered in zombie makeup from the Asbury Park Zombie Walk he had shambled his way through and kept on from the day before. All of it had dissolved to a kind of red and white clownish war paint that made him look as if he had health issues more than anything. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier to run in makeup because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warmer; the paint keeps the wind off your face,â&#x20AC;? said Shalack, who thought scaring the other runners would work, but to no avail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The problem with scaring the runners is they run faster, not slower. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really help your placement. What does 18 miles mean to me? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little less than three quarters of a marathon â&#x20AC;&#x201C; letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two-thirds of a marathon. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a mathematician, so I have to be precise. I came in 81st, so if you want to take this and turn it around (ďŹ&#x201A;ipping over his 81 place ticket he was handed at the ďŹ nish line), 18 is the number I wish they wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve given me when I crossed, but they insisted on giving me 81 instead. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the drinking age when I was in school.â&#x20AC;? As placements got higher throughout the day, so did the number of beleaguered runners complaining of pains and cramping to friends and family as the supply tables ran out of cookies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bend down,â&#x20AC;? said Surf City Councilman Peter Hartney, 51, as he asked for assistance in picking up his placement card, which read 213. Hartney has run these 18 miles the past seven years, and despite his presence locally, for him the race goes beyond his town of Surf City. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was 11 when they were killed,â&#x20AC;? said Hartney of those lost in what has come to be known as The Munich Massacre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember vividly that night with them sitting out on the balconies and the SWAT teams. (This race) is just a good way to mark their dedication to sport, and then also with 9/11, the sacriďŹ ce people make for others. You get that reminder at each mile what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re there for. Especially at the end, it makes those ďŹ nal miles go by faster. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great way to see the whole Island and remember this really is an Island activity; everybody comes together

18 Mile Run

for it. To see people I know working at it, passing out water and cheering â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really good to see the entire community remembering these 11 and also Sept. 11.â&#x20AC;? For Daleen Ruppert, 41, of Williamstown, who ďŹ nished 358th, the 18 miles meant improvement â&#x20AC;&#x201C; perhaps even â&#x20AC;&#x153;most improved,â&#x20AC;? as she bested her time from last year by two hours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is one of my favorite races,â&#x20AC;? said Ruppert, who is running three full marathons in the next month and a half. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have some of the friendliest race volunteers and race director; they do a great job, so I will deďŹ nitely try to do it every year. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about beating myself. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not worried about where I place, just that I do better than last time. I just want to keep improving. When Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 70 I want to keep improving.â&#x20AC;? For Joe Allen, 28, of Woodbridge, whose family has vacationed on LBI since the early 1980s, the 18 miles were all about thirst and hunger, literally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whenever you smell food, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s horrible. I mean, you could stop, I guess,â&#x20AC;? said Allen, who had eaten little more than a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios before the race. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Around mile 10 you smell all the delicious food, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s craziness. I love LBI. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the reason my brother and I came here. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our favorite place to vacation. I was also thinking about what bars should be open when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m done.â&#x20AC;? For 38th District state legislator Tim Eustace, 55, of Maywood, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 18 miles of friendliness. Eustace, who ďŹ nished 468th, has had a house around â&#x20AC;&#x153;mile ďŹ veâ&#x20AC;? of the race in Beach Haven Park for more than 20 years and has run the annual race around 20 times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a race I run against myself every year,â&#x20AC;? said Eustace. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I bettered my time, and we had rain and a headwind. When I was 20 years younger, I could run a lot faster. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a very friendly race; there are always people there to spur you on. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very long neighborhood race.â&#x20AC;? Finally, for Kelly Salus, 42, of Pompton Lakes, who ďŹ nished 512th, these 18 miles were about family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never done 18 miles (before); itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my furthest. I trained. It was my goal. I felt like it was my time to show my kids I could be strong and start something and ďŹ nish something strong,â&#x20AC;? she said as her youngest daughter, Lauren, looked up at her with beaming eyes, holding her hand with pride. Lauren was part of a dozen family members there in support of Kelly, with some wearing custom shirts or signs reading â&#x20AC;&#x153;We Love Kellyâ&#x20AC;? and more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to give them something to admire me for, really it is. Not a lot of people can be my age, have four kids and still run this.â&#x20AC;? The common thread that ties them all together is that 18-mile stretch of asphalt known affectionately as The Boulevard on which they laid their footprints on Sunday. They completed a journey through the violence of the weather, in which many found serenity. No one storms off in anger upon completion. They are united there beneath the birds and Old Barney, in the dampness of the rain and the bite of the wind. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Michael Molinaro michaelmolinaro@thesandpaper.net

Garbage Patches, 101; And Prepping for Some Annual Clam Jam Fun I

feel like a bit of a failure this week. I don’t know if I can look my father in the eye. When I was a kid, we used to get a few cords of wood delivered to the house each fall. My dad would cut and split, while my brother and I would stack. My parents were young, had three kids, and the electric bill was a major source of stress. Hence, the fireplace was pretty essential. And my father had this rule: no heat before Oct. 15 or after April 15. Their financial sense was something like – save money on essentials so you can do fun things down the road. That meant cutting wood in the fall, no a.c. in the summer, basic cable, hand-me-down surf gear, and wardrobes from clearance racks. We were fine with that, and they were sound fiscal policies. Then, hopefully we’d be able to afford a family trip. I like to think I inherited that, along with my bad back and crummy teeth. A good percentage of what I own is garage sale, pre-owned, and straight up trash-picked. Craig is my boy. Anyway, when we awoke on Sunday morning to a 41-degree reality, with a few windows still open from the balmy Saturday, I buckled under the pressure. The wind was north, the sky a bleak gray, and I turned the heat up to 55. Hopefully, Saturday’s sunshine had loaded us up on solar power to cancel it out. But don’t tell my Pops. That was a quite a September and early October we enjoyed. I hesitate to call it an “Indian Summer,” because I have heard different definitions for that term. Actually, one time when I was on the customer support line with a nice man from India, I asked him what they call really warm spells in the fall. He told me, “Native American Summer.” Fair enough. But after Friday’s pure beach weather when folks were splashing and paddling around in swimsuits, Sunday was a shock to the system. Close the windows and pull on the hoodie. I imagine it was the first time many of us have worn shoes and socks since May. I wouldn’t be too concerned, however, as the temps are supposed to be back into ice-cream weather by this weekend. I would be a little concerned about the surf situation, being that this is October, a month when we usually have our first real nor’easter and a few south windswells with the odd, posttropical cyclone to top it off. Here in week two of what is supposed to be autumnal utopia, the surf has been a drag. There was a small wave that developed last Wednesday evening, but hard as we checked it, last Thursday was just dismal. It went completely flat for Friday and Saturday until a tiny, clean, trace swell filtered in on Sunday evening. If you were checking it, the beach was actually warmer than anywhere else, thanks to water in the high 60s and chilly air. The swell was somewhat of a mystery. The only possible feature on the map that might have been sending it was a blob of activity way in the North Atlantic. And there was actually a legitimate wave on Monday morning – groundswell reaching up to shoulder high at 14 seconds. Of course, when the wind was light offshore on Sunday night, it was barely longboardable. And when the swell came up on Monday, when a few surfers had off from school or work, winds were north/northwest. Still, there were a few spots mid-Island and one break on the south end that got good. Being groundswell, it was inconsistent. I heard a few other spots were getting decent sets in the evening, as the wind

completely lay down. There was plenty of time to watch the pelicans between sets, but considering that none of the forecasts or models picked up on the swell, it was still a bonus. Those who scored on Monday were in the minority, but it was the only savior from an otherwise down week. The scary thing is that there really isn’t anything too promising on the horizon. I’m seeing potential for hard, southwest winds on Sunday that could amount to a clean, 2-foot swell for Monday. But when you’re hanging your hopes on one waist-high day in October, it’s not a good sign. That little skate park up in Barnegat Light is starting to look better and better. * * * Now on to something you can always count on: pollution. By now, you have likely heard about the famous “garbage patches” in the Pacific Ocean. We’ve all read stories of giant islands created where millions of pieces of plastic debris collect in the middle of the sea. I imagine it’s everything from 3-ounce energy shots and your old Star Wars figures to every single plastic water bottle of the three cases that I watched a tourist couple buy last month. As each case, which is already wrapped in plastic, was put into yet another plastic tote bag, I could hear the woman saying, “The taaap wattah down hee is just awwwwful.” (Actually the water coming out of pine barren aquifers is some of the cleanest in the nation, so screw her.) Anyway, the Pacific garbage patch is real, although not always in the sense that our brains conjure up. It’s not like there is a constant landmass of pollution that you can get out and walk on. And the fact that we haven’t seen a YouTube documentary of someone exploring an island of Fiji Water bottles that is actually bigger than Fiji kind of takes away from the shock value. But if you really look into it, you’ll find that the danger is largely unseen – tiny polymers found in alarmingly high parts per million. Plastics break down, but the pieces never go away. The “patches” are areas of high concentrations of microscopic bits that are a plague to the seas. There’s a group called 5 Gyres that has conducted numerous expeditions not only to the Pacific, but in the other oceans of the world and, most recently, the Great Lakes. A “gyre” is a rotating current in a large body of water. It’s through that group's hard work and findings that we have an understanding of the dangers to the ocean from our single-use-plastic addiction. And there’s plenty of problems in our Atlantic. Even if you despise the green movement, dismiss global warming and shoot squirrels for fun, you might find it interesting that plastic ingested by marine life has human health implications. So, when you’re the guy out there taking post-legal season fluke, you could be ingesting three times as many bits of Twinkie wrappers, which are almost as bad for your system as actual Twinkies. This month, several members of 5 Gyres are taking part in a 1,400-mile pedal along the East Coast called the Last Straw Bike Tour to educate us about all that plastic crap floating around our beloved ocean. They’re conducting beach cleanups and giving presentations to offer realistic solutions. This Saturday, Oct. 13, they will be at the Long Beach Township Municipal Building from 7 to 9 p.m. with a slideshow, research and tales of their trashy adventures. It could be a very interesting evening. One of the presenters is a fella named Stiv Wilson, who is somewhat of an eco-adventurer. I met him in Beach Haven a

Is This Spot Taken? Pull Up a Beach Chair ... Anywhere FEW AND FAR BETWEEN: With tourists mostly gone and the beaches left for locals to spread out and enjoy, few sights bring a stronger feeling of peace and gratitude than this one, looking south down the beach from 98th Street in Beach Haven Park on a pleasant September day. few years ago when he came to speak at the East Coast Conference of the Surfrider Foundation. He should be not only informative, but also entertaining. * * * In one of the most interesting surf contests I have heard of in some time, the Southern Regional High School Surf Club had a “scrimmage” of sorts that pit the teachers vs. the students on Oct. 4. This is an annual thing to prepare faculty advisor Joanne Rist’s Surf Club for contests this season against other schools. And this year, the teachers fared pretty well, with autism program aid Josh Law winning the whole thing, science teacher Jason Hoch taking second, and history teacher Bill McClennan finishing third. The only student to make the final was sophomore Brian Aji, who took fourth place, just above teachers Julie Stokes and Barb Conover, who were all in the final. Needless to say, the teachers have bragging rights this year as they won 90-51. Conditions were pretty weak and a lot of surfers had to rely on longboards. There were a few kids from the team missing. But hopefully, they are now better prepared to face off against the Manasquan, Point Boro and Ocean City teams. Kind of hard to be all cool and mouth off to your teachers when they whopped your butt in the surf. Last spring, I did some video work with local filmmaker Tony Coon and we created three pilot episodes for a possible SandPaper video series in 2013 (provided the Mayans made a miscalculation). The first one, about Randy Budd’s all-female alaia building class at the Tuckerton Seaport, is now on the SandPaper website at http://thesandpaper.villagesoup.com/ae/story/ randy-budds-all-female-alaia-shaping-class-atthe-tuckerton-seaport/902688. Keep an eye out for more this fall. In local enviro news, Beach Haven’s Heather MacConnell of My Girl is Water Jewelry just tallied up all the money from the profits of her “Drop of Water” necklaces. After earnings this summer at SwellColors, Sandy Banks, Firefly Gallery, Lily of the Valley, Gallery 100, South End Surf ’N Paddle, Surf Unlimited, Fish Heads and Shore Solutions topped $1,000 and a few more bucks at Chowderfest, she will be donating a healthy amount to the Jersey Shore Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation. Now, it’s no secret that LBI is a little detached from the chapter, which is based in northern Ocean and Monmouth counties. Though they have reached out to Island surfers for years, even offering advice in campaigning to modifying beach replenishment projects long before the Army Corps of Engineers wrecked many of our favorite breaks, very few locals ever get involved. It’s embarrassing how many of us are actually members. I’ll go out on a limb and say

it was more than all the money ever raised here for Surfrider. Sadly, despite water quality and access issues, LBI surfers aren’t even involved in any projects right now to put the money toward. But Surfrider’s East Coast Regional Manager, John Weber, suggested the money be funneled to Alliance for a Living Ocean. ALO has long had a running bottle cap collection history. Caps, which are not recycled as lighter plastics, are sent to the naturally based cosmetic company Aveda, which has a special program to properly recycle rigid plastic caps. But shipping has gotten extremely expensive recently, causing ALO to shut down its cap collecting service. This money will be used to jump start it again and keep our beaches free of Pepsi caps for a while. MacConnell deserves congratulations for her work, and the rest of us could take a lesson from her. * * * The teams are all picked for the 2012 Jetty Clam Jam. As always, there are some blockbuster squads and very interesting pairings that result in the random “pick the clam shell out of a hat” method. This year, there are 48 teams, down from 64. That should make the day run a little smoother. If you slacked on your registration, your best bet is to sign up as an alternate. We are now officially “on call” for any weekend. The first potential date is this Saturday, which looks to be knee high and onshore – not really Jam worthy. Sunday looks to pop into the 2- to maybe 3-foot range with hard, south/ southwest winds. Obviously, this isn’t ideal, either. But we still have to keep an eye out for a surprise. As always, call your partner in advance. All surfers check in at 7 a.m. at Hudson Avenue in Harvey Cedars. You are responsible for getting your partner there, signed in, and on time for your heat. This year’s sponsors and after party at Sunset Park, with food and music from Triumph & Trajedy and Rob Armenti, promises to be another great community event. If you’re a fan of New Jersey professional surfing, the Smith Optics Garden State Grudge Match has been postponed this year to a waiting date of Oct. 22 to Nov. 4. This is usually the heart of the waiting period. Last spring, Heritage Surf Shop won another contest, the Oakley Surf Shop Challenge Northeast Regional Qualifier. Its team, comprised of four Grudge Match competitors, is heading to the Surf Shop Challenge finals in Bali, so the Grudge got pushed back. Representing LBI this year are Conor Willem, Randy Townsend, Royce Weber, Pete Matchotka, and Pat ‘Surfcat’ Emery. That’s all we have for now. As of next week, Liquid Lines goes back to every other week in the SandPaper. Seems like fall is in the air. Go stack that wood. Y joncoen@thesandpaper.net

SEEKING BASS, BLUES: The 58th installment of the LBI Surf Fishing Classic began on Oct. 6, drawing anglers, like those above in Holgate, to the Island’s beaches with rods in hand.

LBI Surf Fishing Classic Casts Off

he 58th annual Long Beach Island Surf Fishing Classic, an eight-week tournament and testament to the popularity of surf fishing in New Jersey, began Oct. 6, offering participants a chance to hook into LBI’s fantastic fall fishing and win some cash along the way. “If you have never been a part of one of the East Coast’s longest-running fishing contests, join the ranks of thousands of anglers who have competed for top prizes in the past half century,” said Lori A. Pepenella, destination marketing director for the LBI region of the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce, which presents the contest. “Last year, 850 sportsmen and -women competed for thousands of dollars in prizes for striped bass and bluefish caught from the shores of Long Beach Island.” For this year’s competition, which runs through 6 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 2, “anglers of all levels seek the beauty and relaxed shores of Long Beach Island’s ocean beaches, inlets, bay and jetties, which have been the proving grounds for hooking the biggest bluefish over the 32-inch minimum length and for the largest striped bass over 34 inches,” Pepenella noted. “This well-respected and beloved eightweek tournament ushers in the fall season, as striped bass and bluefish are snapping up the bait fish that pop the surface. Fishermen and women from school age to octogenarians get caught up in the excitement of the tournament, with the possibility of earning daily prizes

Continued from Page 45 “On the twenty-eighth of January the remains of Colonel Allen and Surgeon Weller were exhumed and placed on board the steamer ‘Suwanee’ in charge of the Ninth’s chaplain, who was detailed to accompany the bodies to New Jersey. Had not the regiment been on the eve of battle, a suitable detachment would doubtless also have been sent along.” Word of the skill of the Jersey Shore men caused the general to act on Feb. 1. Drake remembered, “In accordance with General Burnside’s order, some sixty men, having a knowledge of seamen’s duty, were detailed from the various companies of the 9th, to serve on gunboats. Glad to escape hard marching and accompanying exposures and fatigues, and being promised extra pay these men joyfully bade us farewell and took their departure. For some unknown reason they never received the extra pay – otherwise they were content with their transfer.” The expedition was ready. Burnside later ex-

adding to the lure.” The grand prize for the largest striped bass and largest bluefish entered in the tournament is $1,000 cash each. Many other segment, weekend, weekly and daily prizes are presented by the tourney sponsors – American Fishing Wire, Hi-Seas line and The Fisherman magazine – with special categories for ladies, senior citizens and youngsters. As Pepenella explained, the 2011 Classic tallied 177 bluefish and 381 striped bass weigh-ins. Randy Matlack of Beach Haven took the top prize in the bluefish category, with a 16.19-pound entry, while Gary Nalor of Mount Holly weighed in the first-place striper, at 41.19 pounds. The tournament fee is $30 per entrant, and the earliest registrants receive a 2012 Long Beach Island Surf Fishing Classic hat and decal, a coupon for a free exterior car wash at Manahawkin Magic Wash, and a coupon for a free slice of cheese pizza from Panzone’s Pizza in Surf City. Registration is available at the four local weigh-in stations: Fisherman’s Headquarters, at 280 West Ninth St. in Ship Bottom; Jingles Bait and Tackle, at 1214 Long Beach Blvd. in North Beach Haven; Surf City Bait and Tackle, at 317 Long Beach Blvd. in Surf City; and Oceanside Bait and Tackle, at 8201 Long Beach Blvd. in Brighton Beach. For more information on the Long Beach Island Surf Fishing Classic, visit lbift.com. —J.K.-H. plained, “By the 4th of February the entire fleet had anchored and had passed into the sound, and orders were given for the advance on Roanoke Island. Detailed instructions were given for the landing of the troops and the mode of attack.” For Drake and the men of the 9th, Feb. 7, 1862, would always be remembered. “Before the sun rose every man with nerve was astir, and after partaking of an extra quantity of hot coffee, hard tack and ‘slat junk,’ critically examined his rifle and accoutrements, as on these he knew much would depend. Again did the fleet move, and as the companies formed in regular order on deck, they read the signal displayed on General Burnside’s flag-ship: ‘Today the country expects every man to do his duty!’ How our hearts throbbed at this patriotic admonition – how we panted to get ashore and show that the confidence resposed in us had not been misplaced.” For the men of the 9th New Jersey, the battle of Roanoke Island would be their longest day.
