…And The Show Will Go On

Somers Point Awards Contract to Complete Gateway Playhouse

R

enovations to complete the Gateway Playhouse in Somers Point will soon commence.

City Council announced that it has awarded a contract to Capri Construction of Vineland to complete interior renovations.

Thanks to the City’s concerted and proactive efforts to attract funding to complete the theater, two New Jersey state-funded grants to fully fund the completion of the Gateway Playhouse on Bay Avenue were awarded in 2015.

Once renovations start in early October (estimated), the city anticipates that it will take seven months to complete the job and open the doors to the public.

The state-funded grants include a $400,000 grant from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority; and an additional $102,000 grant from the New Jersey Historic Trust.

The City is focusing on reinvigorating the Bay Avenue area to boost the local economy and provide a home for performing arts in Somers Point.

“The City has been very pro-active to make Bay Avenue the hub of activity for not just Somers Point but the region as

by City Council, the Master Plan Steering Committee and the City’s professional staff. That hard work has paid off by providing needed funds to implement our Bay Avenue Master Plan and create an exciting and vibrate bayfront.”

The two-story, 5,000-square-foot building will feature a 1,000-square-foot stage and seating for 240 guests on the ground floor; and office space with five

rooms – including a conference room – as well as state-of-the-art lighting and sound booths on the second floor.

The theater is owned by the City and a local non-profit, the Theater Collaborative of South Jersey, has been raising funds to complete the renovations. Much of the exterior work is completed but the entire interior including the stage and seating needed to be funded. The theater is located in the City’s historic district.

Once the doors are open, the Gateway

Seaside Theatre, Somers Point 1942 Playhouse will be a much-needed destination for a local theater, concerts, performances and presentations. The TCSJ plans to schedule a full season of musicals and performances featuring local talent. It will also host Somers Point school musicals previously held at Mainland Regional High School and Dawes Avenue Elementary School. The venue space can also be rented for concerts, meetings and presentations.

“We are grateful to the City for its support and efforts to reopen the doors to the Playhouse; and so excited to soon become the hub for performance arts here in Somers Point,” TCSJ Chairman James Dalfonso shared. “Being the new home for the community’s school performances is especially rewarding, taking our student performers and rising stars’ plays and musicals to a whole new level,” he added.

For more information about the Gateway Playhouse, visit the theater’s website at www.gatewaybythebay.org or call Chairman James Dalfonso at 609-6530553.You can also Like them on Facebook for frequent progress reports at www. facebook.com/gatewaybythebay.

Autumnal favorites

By Frank Gabriel

D

espite late-September temps still hovering in the mid-80’s, we’re deeply confident that sometime in the not-too-distant future, autumn will definitely arrive.

And in the autumn, a hungry man’s fancy turns to heartier fare; soups, stews, braises and the like.

Any discussion of such cuisine locally should properly begin with the region’s oldest house of hospitality, The Smithville Inn. Really, the entire Towne of Historic Smithville-lovingly and painstaking restored by the classy, diligent Coppola family- reflects this season of change perhaps more than any other.

Most notable; their rain-or-shine Oktoberfest, always the first weekend of October; upcoming on the 1st and 2nd.

The Inn itself is a warm and charming place of refuge, possessing a hearth fireplace the size of a small automobile.

Dining here is like taking a step back in time to the colonial era, only with cleaner silverware.

Victuals include grilled pork tenderloin with braised kale, apples and bacon, traditional bouillabaisse overflowing with

seafoods and, bien sur, the house’s famed chicken pot pie.

And maybe even a Jersey Devil sighting, as was reported here several years ago.

Just ask the Coppolas.

Moving down the coast, Austrian-born megachef Wolfgang Puck’s American Grille at Borgata serves up some powerfully comforting plates.

Passionately interpreted by chef Aram Mardigian, this bill of fare has a little something for everyone.

This is part of the dichotomy making Puck so very extraordinary; despite being at the vanguard of lighter, ‘California cuisine’ he also regularly referenced his homeland’s food traditions throughout a glittery career.

Presented as evidence: market vegetable minestrone, ricotta gnocchi with beef and pork Bolognese, pan-roasted half-chicken with potato puree or a prime bone-in steak, Tuscan potatoes and Armagnac peppercorn sauce.

One tiny request of management; can a brother please get one of Wolfie’s classic schnitzels on the menu again?

Further south in Downbeach, Ventnor’s Stella has consistently developed into one of the shore’s very best BYOB’s.

The masterpiece of another local restaurant dynasty, the LoBianco’s, Stella

presents its food in an elegant, monochromatic setting.

Dramatic combinations like roasted tomato-fennel soup, meatballs rich with spinach and fontina, creamy polenta and pomodora sauce or orecchiette, house-made e sausage and roasted peppers all work cleverly like antidotes against the impending assault of cold d weather.

But the real leading player ayer here are Chef Nick LoBianco’s ianco’s signature beef short ribs.

Slowly braised for a full quarter-day, they arrive alongside a flash-fried cabbage/carrot mix and whipped potatoes finished by grilled scallions.

With Stella’s former Ventnor neighbor Ladle of Luv no longer in business, the very best soups we know of locally now emanate from the crafty hands Joe Muldoon, owner/operator Roberta’s in Northfield.

Muldoon, a young man of singular talents, is currently responsible for multiple

A. area food outlets, A.C. including a new, upscale in casual dining concept at ca Borgata along with his Bo talented chef/wife Jental nifer Gallagher. nife At Roberta’s - his initial restaurant venture, named for restaura his mom- Muld Muldoon currently offers a trio of brilliant blends.

One is porcini mushroom with sage and brown butter croutons, white truffle essence and Marsala syrup, plus lobster bisque with chive crème fraiche and bistro French onion topped by an Emmentaler gratin.

Knowing the peripatetic Muldoon rather well, we fully expect, in this season of greatest farm bounty, something composed from indigenous local ingredients too.

“I am for the child,” CASA advocates say.

By Lindsay Kirkland

T

he young boy was seen alone, wondering a city street at night. Concerned, a neighbor called Social Services. Eventually he was removed from his home and placed in a group home with eight to ten other boys.

A CASA advocate was assigned and went to visit him but the boy refused to speak to him. So the advocate left and returned. Still nothing came, no information from the child. Undeterred, the advocate continued visiting again and again until the ten year-old began to trust him. One day, the boy spoke up and asked about his grandfather. In all the records, there was no mention of a grandfather because he had been estranged from the boy’s mom due to arguments over her drug addiction.

The grandfather was located and took the boy home to live with him.

If not for the relationship with the CASA volunteer, it would never have occurred.

A child “in the system” will see

many people including judges, case workers, foster families, lawyers, therapists, and school staff. Only one person will remain by their side from the beginning until they find a forever home and that person is their CASA advocate.

Every single day in this country.

1,900 children will be abused or ne-

glected, and four will die. Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) for children is a network of nearly 1,000 community based programs that recruit, train, and support volunteers to advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children.

CASA of Atlantic and Cape May Counties, located in Somers Point is

celebrating its 15th year of helping children locally. “CASA is the eyes and ears of family court judges,” says Karen DeRosa, Community Development Coordinator. The increase in unemployment, foreclosure and heroin addiction in our community have all contributed to more families in crisis. 1,050 children are in foster care in Atlantic and Cape May County, an increase from an average of 730 in previous years. Only 550 have CASA advocates. “For now, only the most difficult cases where we think we can help the most are assigned a CASA advocate,” said DeRosa. Ideally, every child in “the system” would have that one person that will be for them and that will remain by their side until they have a forever home.

Can you help? For more information on how to become a CASA advocate, ambassador or donor, go to www.atlanticcapecasa.org and complete an inquiry form. You can also call 609-601-7800 or email staff@ atlanticcapecasa.org.

Whe n Life Sends the Rain, Look For The Rainbow The next time the storms come, consider these thoughts -

Not everyone has time to preplan a funeral. But the peace of mind knowing that all the decisions have been made can be both financially and emotionally beneficial.

We encourage you to call us to set up an appointment to discover a pre funeral planning program. Planning and funding your funeral in advance is one of the most caring decisions you can make and many area residents have made this important decision.

A properly structured funded funeral plan can also assist you if you are trying to qualify for Medicaid.

he thought struck me recently as I was peering out the window. It was pouring rain, coming down in sheets. It was humid and dreary. It started me thinking. Days like today can get you down, if you allow it. We’ve all heard the saying, “Don’t let anyone rain on your parade”. But the fact is, sometimes we allow it,

1. Storms are inevitable.

Just as the sun rises and sets, the rain will fall. Sometimes it’s a shower, sometimes it’s a downpour. But the rain can’t be avoided. Sometimes the storms of life come about because of choices we make or circumstances we create. Other times, the storm are unavoidable through no fault of our own.

2. Storms serve a purpose.

Although we can’t always control the storms of life, we can control how we respond. Pastor and Author Charles Swindoll puts it this way. He says, “the longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.

Attitude, to me, is more important than facts.” Don’t allow a storm to come into your life without coming

if we’re not careful. Then I thought about the metaphor as it applies to our lives. I’m reminded that no matter how hard the rain falls, how long the storm lasts, eventually the sun returns. It does so without fail. Sometimes it rains longer than we thought it would, the clouds are thicker than we had hoped, but the sun always returns.

That’s not always comforting when we’re in the midst of the storm. The reality is many times the things we hope for either don’t materialize the way we thought they would, in the time we thought they would or sometimes even at all. And it’s at this point, we’re faced with a choice. As we follow the analogy, do we drown in the storm or weather the storm and see things through to the other side.

out of that storm a better person.

Find the lesson in the storm. There is always something we can learn.

The storms will come and when when they do, we need to be reminded that the beauty that we see in the bright sunshine of a new day that follows could never be possible without the rain. It’s the rain that sets the stage for a bright tomorrow. It’s the rain that makes the grass greener, the flowers brighter, the air fresher.

The next time it rains and rains and rains, remember the sun will return and when it does you’ll be much better off for having gone through the storm. So raise your umbrella, take shelter and be grateful in the rain. Look for the rainbow over the horizon and anticipate the return of the sun. It’s coming. I promise.

Until next time, let’s go out and make a difference.

to our north are in a drought watch. Central and Northern New Jersey residents are being asked to voluntarily conserve water. The Department of Environmental Protection is asking residents not to water their lawn during peak daylight hours and to turn off the faucet when brushing your teeth. While there is no drought watch for our area, if we do not see some much needed rainfall soon, our area will likely be included in the watch and we will be asked to conserve water.

Autumn also brings the start of cooler weather headed our way.

While it can still get very warm in late September and early October, the general trend is for jacket and sweatshirt weather by Halloween. On the first Sunday of November the clocks get turned back by one hour.

An easy way to remember is: Fall back, Spring Forward. By early November, it will be getting dark before 5:30 pm and continue to get dark earlier as we head toward the first day of Winter, December 21st.

Enjoy the cooler weather and changing tree colors. The holidays will soon be here!

T

he fall equinox occurs on September 22nd this year. That day will mark the moment that the sun’snearest point crosses the equator going from north to south. The southern hemisphere gets warmer as we approach the end of the year and the northern hemisphere will start to get cold. Each day we are losing approximately two minutes and forty seconds of daylight. While the equinox is supposed to mark equal time between day light and night time darkness, that is usually not the case every year. A few days up to a week either prior or after the autumn equinox is when we see the exact time between day light and night time darkness.

As we move through September and into October, the temperatures will dip and we will likely see some solid rain storms moving through the region. Most of it will be due to stalled out fronts, but remember October is still hurricane season, and Sandy was an October storm.

On average 3.5 inches of rain falls during the month, but with it being a dry summer who knows what to expect in terms of precipitation.

Hometown Hero: Marta Stott A Detective Turned Advocate That Keeps Fighting for Children

S

ome of us keep our big, open heart tucked inside, while others show it freely. As soon as Marta walked in the door, I could see her big, open heart was shown freely. Marta Stott is retired from a career as a detective for the Juvenile Bureau investigating crimes against children. Rather than becoming hardened or burnt out by what must have been a challenging job, Marta wanted to continue helping children in crisis in her retirement.

She was searching for an organization to volunteer where she could make a difference. One day, she opened a newspaper and saw a CASA ad so she signed up to learn more.

What she found out was that a child ‘in the system’ will go through several judges, case workers, foster homes, lawyers, therapists and schools. But the one CASA will remain as their ownuntil they find a forever home. In fact, sometimes the CASA is the only person in that child’s life that does not go away. Itwas then that Marta knew that becoming a CASA volunteer was for her.

As a detective, Marta was trained to interview abused and neglected children. It was difficult to hear their stories, but she was also trained to keep her emotions in check, “I was motivated by the results for child.

Children don’t want to be separated from their parents – no matter the abuse. Children are torn between wanting to be safe and wanting to stay with their parents. I was highly motivated to protect the children and enforce the law upon the abuser.”

Her job as a detective was well defined: Save the child’s life. Gather details. File charges against the abuser. Once those things were accomplished, her job was done. “I never saw the children after that.”

As a CASA volunteer, she picks up where her old job left off. She fights for the child.Whatever that child

needs, Marta will be there to assist.

Marta knew that childrenliving in the foster care system have no consistency, she had seen it first-hand.

Separation from their parents, and often from their siblings,is traumatic for a child at any age. They often feel like nobody cares and there is nobody to trust. But in the case of three siblings assigned by CASA to Marta two years, they now had a CASA to trust, to lean on, to turn to.

“When I met my 3-year-old, he didn’t talk at all. Now two years later, because of speech therapy that I recommended and that was ordered by the courts, he hasn’t stopped talking,” Marta laughingly says with great pride.

“My 7-year-old missed his family so much, all he did was cry. I played with him during visits and in time he opened up to me. Because he trusted me, he told me about his problems in school. Further discussions with his teacher and foster mother revealed that he most-likely needed glasses.

Within a few weeks, he had glasses,” Marta said.

“My 13-year-old had assumed the role of parent to her younger siblings.

She is now being taught to be a teenager again and shares many thoughts with me. She just told me something she had nottold anybody else. I am so grateful that she did because I was able to get her the help she needed.”

“I know that if not for my CASA relationship with these wonderful children, their paths in life could have been so different,” Marta said.

Happy endings do happen. All three of Marta’s siblings are now living with family, the boys with their biological fathers and the girl with her grandmother. With the support of CASA and the courts, the fathers were given the resources

SEPTEMBER 22 - OCTOBER 5 , 2016

and knowledge to provide safe homes for their children. They were also directed to services to support them in their role as a father.

Why take on the role of CASA? Marta finds reward in making a difference in the child’s life,“I love to be a part of the decision process.” She appreciates the respect judges give to CASA – 93% of the time, judges implement CASA recommendations. “After all the hard work is done, you see your efforts unfold to help a child.

The judges actually rely on our reports and listen to us. It’s very rewarding.”

When I asked Marta what she thinks makes a good CASA, she highlighted these traits:Care and compassion; Emotional strength; Persistence; Assertiveness; Goal focused; Be a fighter when the child needs a fighter; and most importantly; Commitment to saving a life – changing the direction of a child in crisis.

An 18 month or 2-year commitment can sound like a lot. Marta said, “Realistically though, after the first 6 months of information gathering

and navigating an overburdened foster care system (that’s where the persistence comes in), the time commitment can often just be visits with your child and a court date every three months.

“CASA has definitely helped me grow as a person. Instead of just gathering information as I did as a detective, I go to the end. You care more. Before I was focused on the perpetrator. Now, it’s long term – to safety and love. It’s very rewarding.”

In Marta’s words, “I am a CASA. I am the one who holds the child’s heart and their desires for their future. They tell their heart’s desire to me and I try to make it happen. These children remember the person who cared and supported their future.”

The law keeps a child alive. But it’s caring people that make the child whole again.

So whether we share our big hearts freely or keep them tucked inside, and whether our life experience comes from a career as a detective or a teacher or a mom or dad, it’s the caring for the heart of the child that makes a CASA and that makes all the difference.

10 Fun Facts For Fall

A

utumn is a season of many changes, with some of the most notable including the dramatic multicolored displays that occur just prior to trees shedding their leaves. It's also a time of year when many people feel reenergized by cooler temperatures and spend many hours outdoors enjoying all that fall has to offer.

Whether one is collecting leaves, picking apples, exploring corn mazes, or driving the countryside enjoying the foliage, autumn is full of fun facts that can make the season that much more enjoyable.

Autumn begins on the autumnal equinox, which occurs on or near September 22 in the northern hemisphere. This year, September 22 is the day when the sun crosses the celestial equator moving southward.

When the equinox occurs, there are an equal number of daylight and nighttime hours.

Since ancient times, autumn has been an important time of year for many civilizations.

Autumn is a main harvesting time in many areas, and a successful har-

between 12 and 25 miles per hour.

A study of U.S. centenarians born between 1880 to 1895 published in the Journal of Aging Research, found that babies born during autumn months are more likely to live to age 100 than those born during the rest of the year. Thirty percent of the centenarians followed were born during the fall.

Squash, pumpkins and other gourds are prominent in the fall. The largest squash grown on record belonged to Joel Jarvis of Ontario, and his huge winner weighed in at 1,486.6 pounds in 2011.

The many-colored leaves are not the only display one might see during the fall. The autumn equinox signals the aurora borealis, also called the Northern Lights. Besides the lengthening of nights and cool evening weather, which are great for stargazers, autumn is aurora season, according to NASA. That's because, during the fall, geomagnetic storms are about twice as frequent as the annual average.

Full moons are named for the month or season in which they rise. The Harvest Moon is the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox.

vest was once necessary for survival.

Many steps are, and have long been, taken to ensure a bountiful autumn harvest.

Fall is a time when trees and other plants prepare for dormancy during winter. As autumn progresses and the hours of daylight gradually decrease, trees begin to close down their food production systems and reduce the amount of chlorophyll in leaves.

Chlorophyll is the chemical that makes tree leaves green, and as it declines, other chemicals become more prominent and shine through in the leaves. That is why leaves change color.

Some scientists believe that global climate change can impact autumn colors, such as delaying the change in trees. Also, red pigments may start to decline as trees use sugary fuel to grow new twigs rather than to cause red leaf displays.

Americans more readily refer to this time of year as fall, while the British use autumn. Both terms date back to around the 16th century. Prior to this period, autumn was known as harvest.

Much of the United States bids farewell to monarch butterflies in the fall. Each autumn, monarch butterflies migrate from the United States to Mexico and some parts of Southern California. They fly at speeds ranging

Destination, Rehoboth Beach

By Frank Gabriel

L

ooking for a quick bit of regional travel adventure this autumn? While other Delaware Bay Ferry travelers may prefer quaint, Cape May-esque Lewes or rowdy Ocean City Maryland, our destination of choice remains Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.

Rehoboth- unlike most of our Jersey shore- retains a bucolic, almost small-town southern charm.

The town itself is virtually like two separate communities.

West Rehoboth, on State Highway 1A, provides a bustling commercial district replete with nightclubs, restaurants plus the area’s only movie theater.

A couple miles east,after crossing a canal into the beach section, things dramatically realign.

Rehoboth Avenue, occupied by a combination of hip, upscale shops and quirky eateries also housesmore than few remaining single-family ‘cottage’ structures.

My wife and I have made travel there abouts an annual anniversary rite, but this time was our initialvisitto the legendary Dogfish Head Brewery/ restaurant complex.

It certainly won’t be the last; their

raucous saloon atmosphere delighted each and every one of our senses.For aficionados of the brewer’s arts, this place is a Mecca, worthy of frequent worship.We sampled a sextet of beverages- the menu offers beer flights, encouraging drinking bravado- our favorites apotent chicory stout and Burton Baton, a regal amber-hued Imperial IPA. Food offerings, many of which include house-made brews, proved as generously portioned as they were expertly prepared. Buffalo oysters brought six golden, perfectly crisp bivalves, plated amidst a blizzard of bleu cheese and creatively ringed

by tangy orange sauce.A fried chicken and waffle sandwich utilized savory batter to compliment the slab of breast meat wedged between a halved grid of crunchy, heavenly dough.

One of the most intriguing qualitiesabout Rehoboth is how their traditional Boardwalk foods are comparable to ours, yet still uniquely different and authentic...like the omnipresent Dolles confection empire, whoseiconic, monolithic signage towers thirty or so feet tall above the central beach and boardwalk.

Ever-so-slightlydissimilarto our famed Johnson’s caramel corn, we especially relish Dolles’ spicy cinnamon varietal.

Although Kohr Bros. velvety custard is available here, it’s anotherboardwalk place simply called The Ice Cream Store which we’ve come to adore.Two years past, I foolishly sampled a fiendish ghost pepper ice cream, for which I was required to sign a legal waiver.I won’t be doing that again. Ever. You shouldn’t either, take my word for it. Instead try one of their kaleidoscopic blends, more than 100 wildly inventive creams, with provocative, descriptive names like Aztec chocolate, MintNight in Paris, Looks like Viagra, The Swirl With the Dragon Cashews and Hellagood lavender.

Housed beach block, our favorite breakfast and lunch spot, GreenMan

Juice Bar and Bistro, serves the most spectacular French toast we’ve ever encountered. Their creme me brulee specialty is oven baked like bread pudding, layered with sweet custard, and finished in a saut? pan until decadently caramelized.

But, any discussion of food in Rehoboth would be remiss to not include The Back Porch.

Now in its 42nd year, this sprawling, multi-room facility sits just a couple hundred feet from the strand.Once inside, diners are treated to dazzling options, something like the very finest Cape May has to offer, but again with a distinctly regional twang. This September we swooned over a spectacular local soft shell crab, roofed by matchstick-cut slaw of sea beans, kohlrabi and daikon, aggressively seasoned in true, vinegary Jamaican ‘escabeche’style.Main courses included duck two ways; fanned breast meat alongside a perfect confit leg and seasonal delight King salmon, lustrous, lacquered and shiny.

Insomniacs Rejoice!

Northfield Library to Host 24 Hour Event

O

tto Bruyns Public Library of Northfield has something for the insomniac in you. The library community room open from noon on the first day until noon on the second day.Come join the fun, we’ll have the coffee on!

24 Hour Comic Challenge On October 1st, starting at 12 noon, take the challenge of creating a 24 page comic in 24 hours while networking with fellow artists in a relaxing yet focused atmosphere.

Art supplies will be available. Non artists are invited to try their hand and watch classic animation on our big screen.

Since this exciting event takes place during Banned Books Week, there will be an opportunity for local artists to make videos highlighting Banned Comics and Graphic Novels.

These videos will be contributed to the American Library Association’s

Banned Books Week Virtual ReadOut YouTube channel.

24-Hour Comics Day is an annual international celebration of comics creation. On this day, creative folks take on the 24 hour comics challenge: to create a 24 page comic book story, normally months worth of work, in 24 straight hours. This is the third year in a row that the library has participated. The Northfield library is 1 of 14 sites in the United States currently registered to host the challenge.

Banned Books Week is the national book community’s annual celebration of the freedom to read. Banned Books Week was launched in 1982 in response to a sudden surge in the number of challenges to books in schools, bookstores and libraries. Hundreds of libraries and bookstores around the country draw attention to the problem of censorship by mounting displays of challenged books and hosting a variety of events the last week of September.

After school, Lake worked at his father’s foundry and machine shop, where he invented a steering gear and dredge for fishing and oyster boats. By 1892 Lake submitted his first designs to the Navy, but he couldn’t raise the money he needed to build his submarine, so in 1894 he built the “Argonaut Jr.” to prove his concept would work. The “Argonaut Jr” was a 14 ft wooden vessel with wheels, and a diver’s hatch, that was tested successfully in the Atlantic Highlands of New Jersey by Sandy Hook.

This success led to the formation of the Lake Submarine Company in 1895, where Lake built the “Argonaut”, a 36 foot submarine, which was the first to operate successfully at sea. After the “Argonaut” completed a 2,000 mile journey from Norfolk to New York in 1898, Lake received a congratulatory telegram from Jules Verne.

"Argonaut" resources, transporting cargo and exploration.

In 1930, Lake collaborated on the first Trans-Atlantic Submarine Expedition designed to explore under-ice passageways for commercial submarines. Bringing his life full circle Lake named the sub the “Nautilus” and it was christened in 1931 by Jean Jules Verne, the grandson of Jules Verne.

USS Simon Lake

In 1901 Lake formed the Lake Torpedo Boat Company and built the “Protector”, a military submarine.

Unfortunately, the U.S. Navy was already contracted with Lake’s rival John Holland, so Lake travelled to Europe to find a buyer. Eventually he sold his submarine to Russia who was at war with Japan.

Lake continued his work in Europe and while living in London shared an office with the Wright Brothers, who were also there selling their inventions because of lack of interest from the U.S. government. At the outbreak of WWI Lake returned to the U.S. at the request of the Navy to build submarines for them, giving up 40 million dollars in foreign contracts.

Although most countries used submarines for military use, Lake promoted their peaceful, positive uses like underwater farming of natural

Lake continued to improve submarine design, and during his lifetime was granted over 200 patents.

Amongst his other ideas were a tunnel design for under the English Channel, high-rise parking lots and prefabricated homes made of concrete.

Simon lake is now considered the “Father of the Modern Submarine”.

Some tributes to his contribution to naval history are the full scale reconstruction of his first submarine, the Argonaut Jr in 1967, 1994 and 2010.

The naming of the Simon Lake School in Milford CT, Simon Lake Drive in the Atlantic Highlands NJ, and Simon Lake Hall at Atlantic Cape Community College NJ. His name appears on a submarine memorial in South Toms River and in 1964 the U.S. Navy honored him by naming a ship - a submarine, the USS Simon Lake.

Lakes Bay, A Hidden Treasure

D

own a sand and clamshell road, away from the bustle of nearby Atlantic City, there is a secluded stretch of beach and marsh that juts into Lakes Bay. This is the 27-acre Lakes Bay Preserve, a haven for both nature lovers and enthusiasts of water sports like windsurfing, board-sailing and kayaking.

The preserve contains a mix of saltwater marshes, bayberry thickets and sandy beaches strewn with sea lavender and the shells of mussels, clams and blue crabs. Seagulls and brown pelicans rest on wooden pilings, while wildlife like raccoons, muskrats and foxes make their homes in the marsh.

New Jersey Conservation Foundation saved the property from development in 1998 and now operates it, with the help of the non-profit Lakes Bay Recreation Association, as a nature preserve and launching point for non-motorized water sports. Lakes Bay point has been rated as one of the best windsurfing venues in the United States for its strong, steady winds.

The bay was named after Simon Lake, a Pleasantville native who invented the first submarine in 1894. The tip of Lakes Bay Preserve once housed the Ventnor Boat Works, which manufactured wooden cruisers and speedboats. All that remains of the old plant are a layer of bricks and stones, and some wooden pilings in the water.

Whats The Score?

September 24th-25th LAKE LENAPE EAST • MAYS LANDING

By Bob Miller Wine Director of Joe Canal's Discount Liquor

I CULINARY DEMONSTRATIONS

’d love to be a wine critic. Believe me, I do more than my fair share of criticism of fermented grape juice, but I’d love to be one of those people that slaps a “95” on a bottle of wine when it’s really outstanding, or perhaps a “72” if it’s a real clunker. Consumers seem to shop by the reviews and the scores.

specific area. Very few wine critics base their scores on how much they like it, although I could argue that it has to account for at least some of their review. That’s why certain critics specialize in wines from certain regions. Well, I suppose that if I got my wish, I’d be reviewing mostly French wines. Let’s have a go of it, shall we?

Chateau Sipian Médoc 2014: This is a great representation of some of the great wines coming from the left bank of Bordeaux. Medium to full bodied, with fleshy red fruit, ripe cherry and just a hint of vegetation hiding in the tannins on the finish.

Let this one lay down for about 5-10 years, or bust out the decanter for about a half hour and you should be very satisfied. Organically produced. $19.99/bottle. I give this one 92 points.

I suppose that’s one way to go.

Personally, scores don’t carry much weight with me. There are certainly some critics opinions I value, but how much of it is objective versus subjective?

First thing you need to know it that most publications that do wine reviews don’t do it for free. Winemakers must pay to have their wines submitted for review. Don’t worry.

Everything is on the up and up. Wineries don’t pay to have high scores, but smaller wineries, some of which are making incredible wines, often can’t afford the cost of having their wines submitted for reviews.

So, what’s a score worth? If I respect the critic, then my take on all of this is that these guys and gals know what they’re talking about. If a wine scores highly, then it’s a pretty safe bet that it’s a great representation of a particular style of wine from a

Chateau Martinat Côtes de Bourg 2012: Over to the right bank of Bordeaux for this one. What I love about this is how utterly exposed the Merlot is. This blend is about 80% Merlot and the remainder is Malbec. Silky, blueberry fruit, but not forced into it. Supple finish and very feminine.

This bottle is ready to drink right now.

Pull the cork and go. Organic. $21.99.

I give this one 93 very subjective points.

Cheers!

Senior Moments An occasional column on a senior’s perspective

By Charles P. Eberson

the body. It might not let you know you have gone out too hard until a couple days after your workout. I am no stranger to hard exercise. I was a competitive rower during my college years and continued rowing into my early sixties. Competitive rowing was a combination of pleasure and pain. The pleasure comes when the pain is gone but lingers for much longer and that is what brings us back. Our coach taught us about the pain. He said it will come and it will come early. It always does but it also comes to your competition and it is how you handle it that will enable you to row at a higher level. Sounds masochistic? Well, it is a little bit. Occasionally, one needs a little inspiration to carry through the low points. Inspiration can come from many sources. One

of my sources is Ernestine Bayer.

Bayer founded a women’s rowing club in 1938 on the Schuylkill River and was a competitive rower into her 90s. At 92 she held the world record on the Concept 2 ergometer for women over 90. I remember in her 80’s when she was interviewed after rowing a single scull in my favorite race, the Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston. This is the largest 2 day regatta in the world and consists of a winding 3 mile course while passing under 5 bridges. When asked how she felt about her performance, Bayer was a little disappointed. She said she would have done better had she not hit three of the bridges. She is just one example in just one sport.

There are many. Perhaps at some point, I can be that inspiration for someone. I had better get moving.

Check yourself!

Solution

eep moving, be active every day, cardio, weight bearing exercise, stretching, yoga, Pilates, etc.

Sounds like a lot of work. I guess me moving around my 1100 square foot in-laws suite isn’t being active enough. If reading magazines about working out would bring results I would be an Olympic medalist by now.

I have looked through Men’s Health, Strength and Health and others. First of all, I don’t see anyone near my age in those publications and undertaking (if you will excuse the pun) some of the programs recommended would probably put me in rehab for a lengthy stay. As it is, my short term goal is to look as good as the “before” photo in successful participants. I have had rather impressive workout periods

over the years but have blamed the lapses on work, family, etc. Watching the Ironman triathlon hasn’t helped either. These athletes in the upper age groups swim, bike and run all day in the heat of Hawaii really makes me feel like a slug. It’s best not to watch that. I do have the time now, though.

I have been doing some stretching at home. I am getting in shape to get in shape. But there is the uncomfortable knowledge that a dreaded Concept 2 rowing machine is housed in my family’s exercise room. There are times when I do go stretch in that room and I see it sitting there waiting quietly with its eternal patience. It knows it can never be beaten, never tamed only endured. It stares me down, even mocking me. “Come on, hop aboard.

I will be gentle.” But I know better.

Rowing on the Concept 2 or “erg” as it is affectionately called, lacks the pleasure of on the water rowing but still offers a workout for most of the muscle groups in the body. That is why it is becoming an integral part of my routine. The difference in “erging” and working out at this time of my life is that the mental toughness has to be in balance with the aging of

espite the warm weather, it's time to start thinking about hockey season. The 2015/2016 season was better than expected under first year head coach Dave Hakstol. The Flyers advanced to the playoffs in a season that many experts thought that it would not happen.

The Washington Capitals knocked them out in the first round, but it was a great learning experience for such a young team.

Claude Giroux returns as captain and he will have his usual wing men playing alongside of him. Wayne Simmonds and Jake Voracek will help make that first line a force to be reckoned with. Brayden Schenn and Sean Couturier anchor the second line alongside Michael Raffl. Newcomer Dale Weise comes over from the Red Wings and joins Matt Read on the third line. There are a bunch of players who could play on the fourth line. Some veterans are in the mix, along with some highly touted prospects.

Defense looks to be very strong this year. Mark Streit who missed some time last season with an injury returns and he can put the puck in the net, especially on the power play. Rookie sensation Shayne Gotisbehere will enter his sophomore season with high expectations after a great rookie year. Michael Del Zotto comes back after missing much of last season with a wrist injury. Radko Gudas and his bone crushing hits will excite many Flyers fans again this season. Andrew McDonald and Nick Schultz return as 6th and 7th defensemen respectively.

The goaltending situation for the Flyers is a very interesting one. Steve Mason has the bigger contract but lost his starting job to Michael Neuvirth in the playoffs. Neuvirth stole a couple games in the playoff series against the Washington Capitals. I think it's up in the air at this time as far as who the starting goaltender will be.

The Flyers have a very good group of young prospects on the way. Defensemen Sam Morin and Ivan Provonov lead the group that could make the roster out of training camp. Travis Sanheim also looks to be a star in the making. Travis Konecny is a promising center who will likely score 30 or more goals in the league at some point.

Expectations will be a bit higher this year for the Flyers but the team is still young and with Ron Hextall in charge of building this roster, this club will be fun to watch on a daily basis.

Somers Point Police Department Gets New K-9 Police Dog

T

he Rotary Club of Somers Point recently donated funds to the Somers Point Police Department (SPPD) for the purchase of a new K-9 Police Dog. “This is the first donation of its kind to the SPPD,” said the Rotary Club of Somers Point President, Roger Read.

“It had been mentioned that the Somers Point Police Department had to retire a K-9 due to age, so I knew this was something the Rotary board would be willing to help out with,” he added.

The new 13-month-old K-9 German Shepherd pup, who started training on September 12 at the Atlantic County Canine Academy in Corbin City, is named Doc.

“We named him Doc in honor of the Rotary and their primary meeting venue, Doc’s Place on Bay Avenue,” said Lieutenant Anthony DiSciascio of the SPPD. “We’re honored to be the recipient of this generous donation,” added SPPD Chief Michael Boyd. “We know Doc will be a valuable asset in protecting the citizens of Somers Point.”

The Rotary Club of Somers Point has served the community with dozens of donations and volunteerism, including Thanksgiving dinners to the needy, dictionaries to the grade schools, and shelters for flood victims. They are involved in many activities such as sponsoring a booth at the Somers Point Bayfest and Good Old Days. Currently, the Rotary is involved in the largest raffle that the club has ever undertaken, along with Mainland Regional and Egg Harbor Township High Schools. Events such as this assisted in raising money for the SPPD K-9.

The Rotary Club was established locally and has grown to 35 members including numerous emeritus members and guest members from other clubs.

fter a summer's worth of memories and fun in the sun, pool owners know it's time to close their pool for the coming fall and winter seasons.

As the leaves begin to change color and the air starts to grow a little more crisp, homeowners turn their attention to winterizing their pools. The goal is to begin the work early on so that you're not facing the hassle of leaves all over the ground or in the pool. Many times, closing the pool requires a team effort, so enlist the help of a spouse, friend or family member before beginning the process.

The first thing that is essential to winterizing the pool is having all of your equipment ready. Depending on the type of pool you have, this equipment can vary. But have all tools, winterizing chemicals and water plugs at the ready. Although inground pools and above-ground ones have similar winterizing steps, there are a few differences between the two and it is important to be aware of the differences.

Thoroughly vacuum the bottom of the pool and clean the walls. You want to remove as much organic material, such as algae and dead insects,

as possible prior to covering the pool so that there is a higher propensity the water will be crystal clear next spring or summer when you reopen the pool.

Once the pool has been vacuumed and cleaned, backwash the filter to remove any excess residue.

Remove plugs or open drain ports on the filter and let all of the water flow out of the filter. Give the filter components, including skimmer baskets, a good rinse with water and allow them to dry.

Next, disconnect the pool's pump and fi lter. Everything should be totally drained of any water.

With an above-ground pool, remove intake and output hoses and drain. For inground pools, use an air compressor or a shop vacuum to blow out any residual water from the return pipes, and then promptly plug up the ports.

Some people prefer to plug-up the skimmer return as well and leave the water level of the pool as is. However, it is also possible to drain the pool water level below the skimmer level. Put duct tape or use some other blockage method on all exposed pipes or openings to the pools to prevent anything from getting in-

side -- this includes any insects and rodents looking for places to set up winter camp.

While some people keep their filters disconnected and outdoors for the winter, the pump should be moved into a garage or shed. Do so with the filter if you have room in order to better safeguard the equipment.

Homeowners should also test the pool water chemistry and adjust the pH, calcium hardness and total alkalinity according to recommended levels. Then prepare to add the desired mix of chemicals to the pool to sanitize it for the season. Most people use a combination of algaecide and chlorine as their winterizing chemicals. However, if the chlorine level is high enough, algaecide may not be necessary. Raise the chlorine to shock level -- much higher than the recommended level for when

the pool is running. Thoroughly mix granulated chemicals to prevent them from settling on the liner and causing stains.

The cover should be placed on the pool and properly secured. This is where an extra body comes in handy so that the cover can be maneuvered easily. In above ground pools, an inflated pillow is often used to alleviate ice expansion and prevent the walls of the pool from splitting. It is not to keep rainwater from accumulating on the top of the cover.

Store all of the pool equipment for the winter season, and during the cold weather, periodically check the cover, air pillow and water tubes for any damage.

Although closing a pool is not terribly difficult, it can be for those who have never owned a pool in the past.

When in doubt, it is best to consult with a pool service.
