Unproductive Cynicism Little Egg Bull Dung To the Editor: Even though I haven’t been to township meetings due to my injuries, it does not mean I don’t read, see and hear all the bull dung going on in Little Egg Harbor. What am I talking about? Let me tell you my opinions and you will understand. Lt. Don Johnson is out of work for more than two years and still is receiving a yearly salary of $137,453. Why/how is he still receiving this salary after all this time? What does he know that the township committee will not discuss this issue at the township meeting? Isn’t this action preventing active police ofﬁcers from getting promotions due them? Answers to these questions would be appreciated although our township-elected ofﬁcials refuse to comment on this subject. The MUA is another subject that is bull dung. Joseph Mezzina receives a yearly salary of $5,000 to watch over Dave Johnson, who receives a yearly salary of $200,000. They are supposed to watch out for the safety of the water for the citizens of this community. Phoenix Pinelands Corp. is constantly allowed by our township to dig beneath the water level for its mining operation. It is now digging below our aquifer’s level. Does anyone know what that means? Correct, water pollution, and yet our township still allows it, constantly letting Phoenix dig deeper. Something that boggles my mind is if this is supposed to be a bipartisan township, why do the people not have the right to vote for a mayor, but rather have the township committee select who the mayor is? This seems like a socialist action rather than a democratic action to me. I was so happy when I heard Peter Ferwerda was running because he cares about the people and the community. I have worked with him on many projects to try to help the citizens of this community. I am hoping all the people who were going to support me when I was going to run for the township committee would give their support to Peter. After all, the authorities cannot attack him with the Hatch Act, as they did to me. Debra Versheck Little Egg Harbor

Actions Speak Loud To the Editor: Long Beach Township is the only municipality in Ocean County that I know of that has cut both taxes and the tax levy. Mayor Mancini, Commissioner Bayard and Commissioner Lattanza cut taxes 2 percent and reduced the tax levy 1.2 percent for the future. They don’t just talk about cutting our taxes like other politicians; they actually cut the taxes. Also Mayor Mancini, Commissioner Bayard and Commissioner Lattanza have a tremendous record concerning shared services. They don’t just talk about shared services like other politicians; this administration has reached out to share services, and LBT currently receives about $1 million per year income from shared services. Also, this administration completed our ﬁrst phase of the beach replenishment project from 31st to 57th streets. I invite everyone to go see this beautiful beach that will give everyone much more needed protection from storms. Mayor Mancini, Commissioner Bayard and Commissioner Lattanza deserve to be re-elected to continue the great job they are doing. They don’t just talk about doing something; they actually do it. Bill Hutson Beach Haven Inlet/Holgate

Squeezing Democracy To the Editor: Democracy is deﬁned in Wikipedia as “a form of government in which all eligible citizens have an equal say in the decisions that affect their lives. Democracy allows people to participate equally – either directly or through elected representatives – in the proposal, development, and creation of laws.” In our representative democracy, then, each elected representative is obligated to consider equally the views of all constituents when deciding what programs to pursue and how to vote. One essential factor to get representatives

to do that is the right of every citizen to one equal vote to put that representative in or out. But voting alone is not enough to guarantee equal consideration of everyone’s views in the day-to-day operation of government. Throughout our history it was recognized that wealthier individuals and organizations could secure signiﬁcantly greater consideration of their views in the enactment of laws by: 1) funding the campaigns of elected representatives and receiving favors in return, 2) hiring lobbyists to pursue their agendas and 3) inﬂuencing the voting of others through paid advertising. Today, our democracy is threatened from Continued on Page 9

The following responds to a letter from Phyllis Miller (“Fix the Problem,” 10/17). Dear Ms. Miller: I’m not sure I consider myself a left-ofcenter American, but I am an American, and your recent letter caught my attention. I just wanted you to know that I am not embarrassed by, nor do I feel I have to defend or make excuses for, our president. In fact, when I heard him speak for the first time at the 2008 Democratic Convention, I told my husband I thought he could help our country regain the respect of other countries in the world. I still feel that way. Of course, I support your right to disagree with my political opinions. However, I do not understand many of the references you made in your letter and what they have to do with political platforms. You make reference to the fact that the president plays basketball and golf. I’m not sure what you’re trying to say. You also mention the name “Barry,” which may be referring to the president. Again, I do not understand what this name has to do with the state of our nation. You use the word “choo-choo” in reference to the vice president. I get the feeling you are attempting to establish a cynical tone – is that it? My husband, who teaches at the local high school, has mentioned how the quality of school lunches has improved this year. I believe this may have something to do with the policies endorsed by First Lady Michelle Obama (I am not on a first name basis, as you are). Again, I do not understand your suggestion that she “should go have a greasy hamburger with fries on the side.” What am I supposed to make of this? Ms. Miller, if you had complained about the national debt using facts and figures, I could have told you that under President Reagan the debt doubled. I could have said that under the last Bush, it almost doubled again. But under Barack Obama, the percentage of the economy attributed to national debt has fallen. If you had complained about taxes, I could have told you that Mitt Romney’s plan is not specific, but very sketchy and that Bush’s adviser, Karl Rove, once said that national debts don’t matter. I could have mentioned that noted economists do not understand how the debt can be lowered without raising taxes for those who can afford to have them raised. But Ms. Miller, you didn’t mention those Continued on Page 9

Unemployment: We Are Past the Blame Game By GENE MOYNIHAN he unemployment data for September has recently been released and the results, while slightly improved from previous months, reveal the expansion, or recovery, phase of the recession that officially ended in June 2009 still has a long way to go before the United States gets back to a “normal” level of unemployment. Economists have considered an unemployment rate of about 5 percent as being normal and an indication of full employment. In support of this idea, consider the fact that during Bill Clinton’s eight years in office the unemployment rate averaged 5.2 percent. In a similar manner, the average rate during George W. Bush’s tenure in office was also 5.2 percent. The current administration, by my estimates, will experience an average four-year unemployment rate between 9.0 and 9.2 percent.

The data for September, released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, indicates that 7.8 percent of the labor force is unemployed and that 114,000 new jobs were added. For the employment situation to return to “normal” would require ﬁnding jobs for 2,812,000 of the unemployed. The respected investment advisory service Value Line summed it up this way: “The nation is not creating jobs at the pace needed to materially bring down the unemployment rate. ... Our sense is that we need 200,000 or so new hires per month to markedly lower the jobless rate. We are clearly nowhere near that level, and may not get there – on a sustained basis – for some months yet.” Even if the nation could create the 200,000 new jobs monthly, at that rate it would take 14 months just to get back to “normal.” However, during that 14-month period, another estimated 1 million workers

would be added to the labor force, bringing the total number of jobs required closer to 3.8 million. If jobs were created at the same rate as in September, 114,000, it would take 25 months to get back to “normal,” but the increase in the labor force would necessitate ﬁnding employment for a total of 4.8 million workers and take 42 months. A real “Catch 22.” I read an article that quoted the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas as saying, “Not a single ofﬁcial of the central bank or any of the regional banks or their staff has the foggiest idea of what is troubling the U.S. economy and what policy, if any, can get the economy back on course.” How can Washington solve the problem if our leaders don’t understand what it is? This is turning into a Halloween horror story. In the meantime, while the crowd inside Continued on Page 10

Manufacturing Fix To the Editor: I have been watching the presidential debates on TV with interest. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m appalled at the lack of fresh, meaningful ideas or proposals. The candidates would have us believe that there is nothing substantial that can be done to stop the ďŹ&#x201A;ow of our money and jobs to China and others. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t offer any concrete, speciďŹ c proposals to prevent our country from falling further into bankruptcy and becoming just another struggling third world country. In the absence of a solution to our situation from our countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership, why not try the following? All goods manufactured outside of the United States and then imported into the United States to be sold at retail should be taxed at the full income tax rate on the full retail price with no deductions for the cost

The SandPaper/Wednesday, October 24, 2012

Continued from Page 6 both ends of this spectrum. Regarding voting, we have not seen since post-Civil War days such a large array of state proposals that would have the effect of restricting voting. More than 180 such voting requirement bills were introduced since the beginning of 2011 in 41 states, and 16 states passed such laws. Some of the requirements proposed seem unnecessary. Others, such as a photo ID, may not be unreasonable, but should be put in place carefully, over time, not abruptly right before a major election so as to disenfranchise voters. This was exactly the concern raised by the Pennsylvania judge who rejected implementation of its new voter ID law for this election. On disparate inďŹ&#x201A;uence among citizens, the recent Supreme Court â&#x20AC;&#x153;Citizens Unitedâ&#x20AC;? decision swept away decades of restrictions and found that corporations and the afďŹ&#x201A;uent have a First Amendment right to spend unlimited (and unreported) amounts of money to inďŹ&#x201A;uence the outcome of elections. Recent polls have demonstrated widespread citizen opposition to this ruling, regardless of political afďŹ liation. Just recently, the New Jersey Senate passed Resolution 47 that calls on Congress to overturn the Citizens United decision with a constitutional amendment. The sister resolution in the New Jersey Assembly (AR86) comes up for a ďŹ&#x201A;oor vote soon. New Jersey could become the eighth state to go on record calling for this. These are problems that impact all of us. We urge all citizens on LBI, regardless of political party afďŹ liation, to contact their state assemblyperson in support of this resolution, and to oppose unnecessary and abrupt changes in voter participation requirements wherever that occurs. Bob Stern, vice president Democratic Club of LBI

of production in the foreign country nor for the cost of transporting said products to the United States. The status quo on everything made in the United States should continue as is. The manufacturers would be allowed to continue taking all of the deductions they now take. For instance, if a product cost $50 to make in the United States and transport to market and sold at retail for $100, the manufacturer would be allowed to continue to take advantage of all deductions and loopholes. This would result in about 13.5 percent federal tax on the $50 proďŹ t, which equals $6.75 federal tax. If, on the other hand, the same product were made in China at a cost of $25 and cost $10 to ship it here, these costs would not be deductible and the manufacturer would have to pay the full tax rate of 35 percent on the full retail selling price of $100, which is $35. The difference in tax revenue on each $100 retail sale would be an additional $28.25 paid by the foreign manufacturers. This would encourage manufacturers to build their products in the United States, thereby creating many millions of jobs here. This would put virtually everyone back to work, pay off our deďŹ cits and more than balance our budget with no cuts in social services. It is time we reversed the ďŹ&#x201A;ow of U.S. dollars and jobs overseas and get our dollars and jobs from China and others who are holding them and getting fat off us. Continued on Page 10

Continued from Page 6 the Washington Beltway is singing the “Hallelujah Chorus” because of the 7.8 percent ﬁgure, closer to home, the unemployment situation appears to be getting worse. The most recent data for New Jersey indicate that the unemployment rates for July and August, 9.8 and 9.9 percent, were the highest recorded since 1976, some 36 years ago. In Ocean County, the unemployment ghosts and goblins were out early; rates for June, July and August, 10.6, 10.3 and 9.6 percent, were the highest ever recorded for those months. The unemployment results for Stafford are even more scary and depressing. The township endured ﬁve consecutive months of record unemployment rates: April, 9.9 percent; May, 9.3 percent; June, 9.9 percent; July, 10 percent; and August, 9.4 percent. Unemployment rates for Southern Ocean County are closely correlated with those of Stafford Township. Although there are no monthly unemployment rates available for the balance of Southern Ocean County, it seems reasonable to assume that the conditions in Stafford are indicative of those in Southern Ocean County. This would suggest that the unemployment rate in Southern Ocean County is probably around 11 per-

Continued from Page 9 I realize that this proposal would be deemed to be severe and would bring about lasting repercussions. We are in an extremely dangerous position. Our life, as we know it, will be taken from us if we don’t do something extreme. Half measures, i.e. raising the tax rate on one or more segments of our society, cutting back necessary social programs or any other political rhetoric ﬂavor of the month, will do nothing.

Painful Experiment To the Editor: Mr. Obama on the outside seems to me to be an idealist and theorizer whose knowledge is not of men and women but of sociological abstractions and the more or less useful ﬁctions of economics. If his and his cronies’ behavior is closely observed, they will invariably be found to be working for self-glory or for power. Or both. I believe Obama considers himself one

cent. A final thought: Many people think of the Great Depression of the 1930s as being one event. The fact is that it was two back-to-back recessions (a double dip?). It started when the economy peaked in August 1929 and then declined for 43 months to hit bottom in March 1933. The recovery to the next peak in the cycle, May 1937, took 50 months. Then the economy slid into another recession, which bottomed out in June 1938. The story ended with the advent of World War II. I mention this because the economy is about 80 days away from Jan. 1, the edge of the fiscal cliff. It’s likely that Congress will reach some agreement that will avoid the worst-case scenario – another recession (assuming that we are not already in one or on the edge of one), but it’s also likely that it will have a significant impact on the economy in 2013. Whatever happens, chances are that it won’t be pleasant. The real solution lies in the creation of jobs, lots of jobs. At this point we’re past the blame game; it doesn’t matter who or what caused the problem, the problem is real and it has to be solved, and solved ASAP. May I respectfully suggest and urgently recommend that this November you vote as if your livelihood depended on it? It does. Perhaps we can avoid an economic nightmare. Y Gene Moynihan lives in Manahawkin. of those very rare “born leaders” who have no patience or confidence with democratic methods and are absolutely convinced that they always know what’s best. Obama has the presence among the faithful of a dominant and fascinating personality. These people are the “human magnets” in relation to whom ordinary men and women behave like “iron filings.” Their attractive power is hard to analyze and explain. Impressiveness of appearance and intelligence are sometimes present but not invariably. A glittering eye, a mysterious manner, a well-practiced smile that disarms the critics and puts the masses at ease, a vague past bordering on “unknown” – this is never without value. A gift of “gab” is useful (also the teleprompter) and becomes quite invaluable when combined with the right kind of voice, the kind of voice that seems to act directly on the autonomic nervous system and the subconscious mind. Finally there is the unswerving tenacity of purpose, the boundless self-confidence – all the qualities that are so conspicuously absent in the common run of anxious, semi-bewildered average humanity. Fortunately, the magnetic leader is not immortal. When his current is used up, the iron filings fly apart and another painful and wasteful $$$ experiment in American socialism comes to an end. Now let’s take a look at the reality that lies behind the luminous words of great promise Continued on Page 13

Unnecessary Remarks To the Editor: We have the privilege to be able to say what we want in this country, and that’s good. We can vote for who we choose, and that’s good. But putting people down with derogatory comments gets us nowhere. Remarks about playing basketball and having a greasy hamburger with fries are unnecessary to make about our president and the ﬁrst lady. We have to learn to respect each other. We may not always agree with what the other person believes in, but nasty remarks will get us nowhere. Janice Hritz Beach Haven Gardens

Vote Obama Out

To the Editor: I open The SandPaper on the beach Sunday, skipping the Inquirer, for I know what to expect from those liberals, and lo and behold, there is Carole Marks again, from whom we heard recently.

No to LoBiondo To the Editor: This is why I am voting for Cassandra Shober for Congress in the 2nd District. Since the redistricting occurred, let’s face it, we in Southern Ocean County don’t know Congressman LoBiondo from a hole in the wall. However, after 18 years in Congress, this is how he has represented his constituents. On jobs, he voted against a ban on government contracts with companies that ship jobs overseas. He voted for the Ryan budget, which would slash investment in infrastructure that would create jobs. On veterans, he voted against an increase in combat pay. He also voted against vets receiving the appropriate medical care when they return from Iraq and/or Afghanistan. He voted for cutting funding for homeless vets. On women’s issues, he voted against the equal pay for equal work act, the Lilly Ledbetter Act. It got passed anyway and was signed into law. He voted for a bill that would give tax exemptions to insurance companies that would deny coverage for abortions except in the case of rape. He voted to bar funding for Planned Parenthood, which would give poor women a chance to seek qualiﬁed medical aid, such as mammograms. On the American family, he voted to slash education funding by $700 million and voted for decreases in Pell Grants. These are not my values. I urge you to vote with the Democrats on Nov. 6. In particular, I urge you to vote for Cassandra Shober for Congress in the 2nd District. Barbara Truncellito Barnegat Light

Menendez Unresponsive To the Editor: Why should New Jerseyans elect Joe Kyrillos to the U.S. Senate? The answer is simple: He will represent us and our state, unlike Robert Menendez, who has been in Congress too long, so long he has forgotten why he is there. Continued on Page 14

Continued from Page 10 of four years ago. Emanating from the White House there is an atmosphere that is moralistic instead of moral, coercive arm-twisting rather than persuasive. It seems the biggest accomplishment to come from Washington, D.C. has been to polarize instead of reconcile, to transform the political ground into a barren no-man’s land of unremitting combat. It seems nowadays we never just live here in the U.S.A. We are always in some sort of apprehensive fear, hoping that some expensive “utopian scheme” hatched in the White House isn’t going to affect the common people disastrously. What we really need in the country is a let-usalone law. Obama’s expansion of the monumental national debt has set a new standard for madness. What have we to show for this wanton extravagance? Two hundred and thirty-six years ago we went to war with a foreign power over high taxes (the Stamp Act tax was the ﬁnal straw). Today it seems the over-taxing enemy is our own government. The Supremes have rules that the cost of Obamacare should be considered a tax. How wonderful! Few people around today will remember the comic strip “Pogo,” by Walt Kelly (circa 1950). Some say it was the predecessor to today’s politically themed Doonesbury. In Pogo, the main character with the same name has as his trademark the immortal line, said many times, “We has met the enemy and he is us!” Meanwhile, the shells of broken eggs continue to pile up around the White House, but scant few omelets have been made. Bob Holmes Beach Haven

Well, after reading the ﬁrst three paragraphs, I stopped reading, knowing full well her Kool-Aid glass has too much sugar in it. I have no patience to refute her claims, although I have heard every one. I glance down to Will Bowman’s piece, where the facts bear themselves out. And in the letters section Phyllis Miller highlights the immaturity of our vice president, and the inability of Mr. O to tighten our nation’s wallet in Washington. I know I’ve had to. Voting this disgrace out of ofﬁce, to borrow a term from Barry, would be optimal. Please do it. David Nederostek Meadowbrook, Pa.

To the Editor: When we voters decide the candidate for president this year, we choose the path America will take in addressing the problems we have become burdened with the last four years: the economy, national debt, jobs growth, government spending and repeated abuses of power

No Comparison To the Editor: I am responding to the letter “Real Reformer” (10/17) by Jackie Siciliano. I, too, have been a fan of Sarah Palin and have argued about the obvious prejudice against her by the media and social elite. What she has accomplished in her life far exceeds anything Hillary has done by riding on her husband’s coattails. There is no comparison as to how more successful Mrs. Palin has been. As a matter of fact, it is insulting to think Hillary could compare with the tenacity and resilience that Mrs. Palin has shown. I am saddened by the loss of life in Libya but furious over the obvious scandal and cover-up at the White House. What fools, lying to the public and thinking they could whitewash it over and make it palatable for us to believe! Yet this is what the Democratic/ Liberal party has become. There are no more Hubert Humphreys around; the party has been taken over by left-wing radicals. The only thing good to come from this mess is this has become the death knell for Hillary entertaining any thought of running for the presidency in 2016. We have God to thank for that. Eddie Schwind Haven Beach

I would like to thank the more than 3,000 residents who have opened their doors for our team during the last four months of us walking the neighborhoods Continued on Page 49

Continued from Page 13 A prime example of Menendez’s disregard for his constituents is his behavior before the vote on the Affordable Care Act. Despite being urged by voters to hold town hall meetings, he held not one. When voters called his office in mid-August 2010, they were told Menendez hadn’t set his summer schedule yet. It was mid-August, and while other congressmen and women were explaining this contentious piece of legislation, Menendez was nowhere to be found. When pressed, a Newark office staffer said Menendez had held “interactive meetings.” There was no answer as to why someone who requested town halls had not been advised about the “interactivity.” The staffer also said the senator planned to meet with constituents before the vote. I’m still waiting. Needless to say, Menendez, as always, voted the party line. To my knowledge, he never once met directly with his concerned, anxious constituents about a bill that will affect one of the most important concerns of their lives – health care. Kyrillos’ record as a New Jersey state senator shows how dedicated he is to the people who have sent him to Trenton since 1988. The proof is in his re-election history: Kyrillos has earned 60 percent of the vote and higher each time he asked voters whether he deserves another term. Conversely, a lime test on Menendez’s performance exists in the ranking of states in terms of how much federal taxes their residents spent vs. how much the state received in federal dollars. New Jersey ranks third from the bottom. That’s why on Nov. 6, everyone in New Jersey must tell Kyrillos that we need him in the U.S. Senate because we deserve the kind of honest, sincere and dependable representation he provides. As for Carole Marks’ Oct. 18 Commentary: There is one simple answer to the many “points” she attempts to make, all of which are based on Democratic spin, lies and/or not fact. The answer: money. Obama has no plan to cut the deficit, which so many Dems claim is “not a problem.” Try telling that to your mortgage holder. We are in this mess because of too many years of politicians telling us what we want to hear – and/or get - without being able to pay for it. We need Romney to begin our way back to fiscal stability and national strength. Ann Powers Stafford Township

by the White House and federal agencies. Many citizens are concerned about the attempts to attack our Second Amendment and about the many in Congress who share the Obama vision for an America and have been lying low until he gets re-elected. Many of us feel that the gloves will come off and we will be told not to worry about what the voters think. Recall what Obama said when he was caught telling Dmitry Medvedev, Russia’s then-president: “This is my last election. After my election I will have more ﬂexibility.” You decide on what he meant by “ﬂexibility.” One does not have to wonder about the kind of justices he will appoint — he has already put two anti-gun justices on the Supreme Court. Currently there are several federal and state court cases dealing with gun laws. Vote for a solid choice for America and the citizens of this great country. Vote for freedom.

he Southern Regional Education Foundation and Causeway Family of Dealerships of Manahawkin are once again partnering for the third annual “Drive 4 UR School” fundraiser, scheduled for Friday, Oct. 26. From noon until 5 p.m. in the west parking lot of the district’s 11/12 building, at 395 Cedar Bridge Rd. in Manahawkin, community members can test drive a Ford at no cost to the driver. Corporate Ford will give the SREF $20 for each person who test drives a vehicle – either a 2013 Ford Edge, Ford F-150, Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKS, Ford Mustang, Ford Focus or Ford Explorer – during the event. All proceeds, which can total up to $6,000, benefit the SREF. To qualify, drivers must be 18 years of age and possess a valid driver’s license. Participants must fill out a brief survey after completing the test drive. “Although there are members of the Causeway Family of Dealerships on hand to answer questions about the vehicles,” states a press release from the district, “the companion drivers during the test drive are members of the SREF Board of Trustees and members of the Southern faculty.” The mission of the nonprofit SREF, chartered in 2007 and incorporated in 2008, is to financially support programs that nurture the interests, aptitudes and talents of the students of Southern Regional School District. All members of the foundation board of trustees are volunteers, and all funds raised go directly into educational programs. In the past few years, the foundation has purchased educational technology for the classrooms, funded staff professional development and student work programs, and awarded scholarships to graduating seniors. Most recently, the foundation appropriated $12,000 to transform a special-needs school bus the school district was retiring from service to a mobile television studio to be utilized by the students and staff to expand coverage ability for the Southern News Network. For more information on the fundraiser, call the Southern Regional School District at 609-597-9481. —J.K.-H.

ne man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

The event runs from 8 a.m. until noon in the school cafeteria, at 590 Nugentown Rd. in Little Egg Harbor. “Tables are only $20, and you can sell whatever you’d like, from actual garage-sale items to arts and crafts,” said yearbook coadviser Jill Flanagan. “Everything will be inside the Pinelands Regional High School cafeteria, so your items will be nice and protected, and the event will happen rain or shine. “Even if you are not interested in a table, you’re welcome to attend the event for free and see what kind of goodies you can find!” As co-adviser Sherry DiMeglio pointed out, she and Flanagan “are always trying to raise money to help reduce the cost of the yearbook to the students. It costs about $140 per book, but we only charge students $80. This means that we must fundraise the rest,” via a school fashion show, a staff basketball game, Mr. Pinelands and the sale of sweatshirts.

n May 28, 1934, Elzire Dionne gave birth to five girls in a rural Ontario town. The Dionne Quintuplets – Annette, Cecile, Emilie, Marie and Yvonne – were the first such known quints to have ever survived infancy and live into adulthood. On top of that, they were identical. “There are only two other instances of identical quintuplets documented,” said Rosemary Molloy, a Little Egg Harbor Township resident, who will speak about “What Happened to the Babies” on Thursday, Nov. 1, 10:30 a.m. at the Stafford Branch of the Ocean County Library. The program is part of the Friends of the Library’s Thursday Adventure series. A fraternal twin, Molloy said she’d had a longtime fascination with the lives of the girls and has visited their birthplace, which is now a museum. She will bring her large collection of books, photos, memorabilia and souvenirs. Had the girls been born today, they would have spent time in a neonatal intensive care unit before receiving medical clearance to go home. But she said the Dionnes were born in a home that did not have electricity or indoor plumbing. “They eventually were able to get incubators, but before that, they were placed in a butcher basket which sat in front of the door of a wood-burning stove,” she said. Their mother was only 25 when they were born, and since she already had five children, the government took the girls away for eight years, believing the parents were unfit to raise them. Molloy said they lived in a special hospital built for them by the government. The facility was later called “Quintland.” It became a tourist attraction, and visitors paid admission to see them. Of the five, Annette and Cecile are still living. Emilie died in 1954 from an epileptic seizure. Mary suffered a fatal blood clot at age 35, and Yvonne died of cancer in 2001. “As young girls, they bonded well together, but they often clashed with their parents and other siblings,” said Molloy. “The two still living are very reclusive.” For information and to register, call the branch at 609-597-3381. —E.E.

lants can be a real pain, as any Southerner dealing with kudzu or New Jersey gardeners who can’t give away their bleeping zucchini can tell you. And then there’s Audrey II, the botanical star of “Little Shop of Horrors,” being performed this week (“Just in Time for Halloween”) at Pinelands Regional High School. “Little Shop of Horrors,” described as a “comedy horror rock musical,” has been a favorite of community and high school theater companies for years. Based on a 1960 lowbudget film that was directed by Roger Corman and became a cult classic, it features music by Alan Menken and a book and lyrics by Howard Ashman. The musical style is early 1960s doo-wop, rock ’n’ roll and Motown, thus the inclusion of a singing “Greek Chorus” made up of Chiffon (Corrine Levy), Crystal (Toni Ann Simione) and Ronette (Olivia Cruser) in the cast. When the original production of “Little Shop” closed on Nov. 1, 1987, it was the third-longest-running musical and highestgrossing production in Off-Broadway history. Back to Audrey II. Oh, she was cute enough – if “strange and interesting” – when Seymour (Ryan Dubinin), a schmuck of an orphan who works at the rundown, skid-row flower shop of Mr. Mushnik (Alex Fromosky), purchased it from an old Chinese man in the midst of an unexpected solar eclipse. But after Seymour named the plant for Audrey (Alison Waldron), his co-worker and object of his affection, and it started attracting customers by droves to the impoverished business, Audrey II became a monster. A blood-sucking monster, as Seymour discovered after accidentally pricking his finger in the plant’s presence. Audrey II (voice provided by Alfredo Ramirez; movement provided by Brian Birks), shoots up like a gangly teenager while enjoying a diet of Seymour’s blood, bringing Seymour celebrity and Mr. Mushnik wealth. But Seymour is getting weak from providing Audrey II with nourishment, and the plant is becoming not only huge but menacing. Not only that, it talks! www.stfranciscenterlbi.com) The class is an introduction to basic tumbling and mat skills for boys and girls and includes different pieces of equipment. 4-5 pm. Fee: center member, $50; nonmember, $70.

HAZARDOUS HORTICULTURE: Audrey II, in the lap of Seymour (Ryan Dubinin), joins the cast in rehearsal. The school drama club musical runs Oct. 24-27 at 7 each night. Audrey II suggests that Seymour murder somebody so she can have a good feast. The idea revolts Seymour – until Audrey II hints he should murder Orin (Nelson Roy Furman III), a sadistic, nitrous oxide-inhaling dentist who dates Audrey and constantly abuses her. When Seymour sees Orin slap his unrequited love, he, packing a handgun, decides to pay the dentist a little late-night visit in his ofﬁce. Will Audrey II be properly fed? Will the nerdish Seymour shoot Orin? Will Seymour and the original Audrey fall in love and live happily ever after? Will Audrey realize her dream of living in the suburbs, which she sings about in “Somewhere That’s Green”? A matchbox of our own A fence of real chain link A grill out on the patio Disposal in the sink A washer and a dryer

And an ironing machine In a tract house that we share Somewhere that’s green. There are even more questions. Just where did Audrey II, apparently a never-heard-of-before species, come from? And if she continues growing and becoming more powerful, can anybody stop her? And what would happen if a company called World Botanical Enterprises has its way and takes leaf cuttings of the plant and sells them all across America? Well, you’ll have to attend “Little Shop of Horrors,” being performed at Pinelands Regional on Wednesday through Saturday, Oct. 24, 25, 26 and 27, to ﬁnd the answers to all of these questions. Curtain time each evening is 7. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for seniors and students and may be purchased at the door. — Rick Mellerup rickmellerup@thesandpaper.net

Opportunity Knocks, Entertainment Awaits at STAC’s Talent Showcase

here will be a little something for everyone at the Stafford Township Arts Center Talent Showcase on Tuesday, Nov. 13, all put on display in a big way. Whether you are part of an established group, an amateur just starting out, or someone just looking to be entertained by it all, this is an event for you. For those hoping to take the stage and spotlight – ages 12 and up – there is still time and space to register and sign up by Nov. 6, said Kelly Harris, STAC manager and conservatory director. “Whether they’re singing, dancing or doing comedy, this just gives them a really beautiful venue to showcase their talent and hone their skills,” said Harris. Those already signed up include a group of seniors with a well-practiced tap dance routine; local dance studio troupes with choreographed numbers; pianists; and singers. Those interested in signing up should contact the STAC directly at 609-489-8600 and an application will be e-mailed to you. The event runs from 6:30 to 8 p.m. and tickets can be purchased at the door for $5. “This is a really rare opportunity,” said Harris. Professional lighting and sound engineers are donating their time to make every second of each act’s 3-5 minute performance as polished as possible. For small theater companies that might not be able to afford renting a state-of-the-art theater of the STAC’s caliber, Harris noted the Talent Showcase remains open to them should they wish to perform an excerpt from a show they may be currently working on. “The talent show is really about opening the theater up to the community and making it a more viable resource,” she remarked. Harris has 20 years of experience in the

business. She was hired to take over management duties at the STAC last November. It is experiences like the ones she had in March, when the first Talent Showcase took place, that keep her inspired. “An older gentleman that sings country music went on stage for the first time, and his wife was in the audience. He sang the song that brought them together for the first time. He was nervous and kept saying he was going to forget the lyrics. I said, ‘You’re telling a story. You won’t forget them if you tell them a story.’ It was really emotional.” “Another singer was a young man who is autistic; that was phenomenal. He sang a John Lennon song that brought the house down. His mom never thought it was going to go over but he played to the audience, getting on one knee. And I had chills from seeing that this young man was able to show what an amazing talent he has.” Harris hopes the second rendition of Talent Showcase will see even more moments like these. It remains her primary motivation, along with working to create additional opportunities for performers beyond the STAC. “I try to connect people locally to nationally recognized artists, to give them that exposure. For example, Atlantic City Ballet offered a part in its show for someone that might do well. Or OceanFirst Theater said they might have roles for children in their holiday show. That’s what makes me keep going and makes me work 70 hours a week – seeing children being able to have that one-on-one contact with established artists and develop their talent. It makes you feel like you’re touching someone’s life in a positive way.” — Michael Molinaro michaelmolinaro@thesandpaper.net Holiday Bazaar, Luncheon & Bake Sale, Wright Memorial Presbyterian Church, Rte. 9, Barnegat.
