farther. Harre and his team now aim to serve over 75,000 bowls of soup, and expect to do so this September.

Harre’s ultimate goal, however, is to give the homeless heart-healthy options. The chefs serve soup only made with fresh vegetables, sourced from the Rescue Mission’s garden in Cape May County.

The team follows the strict guideline of the American Heart Association, recognizing that health is important for people of all economic levels.

Studies show that almost all the food served by rescue missions nationwide are unhealthy.

“People at a disadvantage need help,” said Harre. “And the best people to teach the homeless how to cook, and what to eat, are chefs.”

Gourmet options such as Lobster Tail Chowder, Italian Minestrone, and Steak Soup with Potato have not only been developed by the team, but Tropicana Casino and Resorts.

“Because of so many great chefs, we can do so many great things,” said Harre.

t smells like savory fresh vegetables in the Atlantic City Rescue Mission.

Chefs dice onions and tilt pans that sizzle. Garlic bread is taken out of the oven, enveloping the kitchen with a cheesy, poignant aroma.

In white coats, chefs and volunteers stir soup, prepping for the “lunch rush.”

Every Thursday, the Atlantic City Rescue Mission serves soup prepared by five-star chefs. The program is affectionately called50,000 Bowls for Hearts and Souls.

Robert Harre started the program in January 2014. Passionate about bringing heart-healthy food to those in need, Harre brought together the top chefs of South Jersey and implemented a goal: 50,000 bowls of soup will be served.

When the chefs hit that goal in December 2014, they stretched even

One woman knocked on the kitchen door, long after the soup was served. With a smile on her face, she said “Thanks for taking care of us.”

“We serve 2-3 bowls per week,” said John Demario, Associate Director of Resource Development for the Rescue Mission. “Over time, physical heath is better.

Mental and spiritual health are even better.”

A Warm Spring Can Bring More Than Flowers A May Weather Warning

by Matthew Christy

A

s we head towards summer, we first need to deal with the month of May. According to the US Climate Data, Atlantic County will receive an average of 3.35 inches of rain this month, which ranks in the middle of the pack. We will also see the average temperature rise to 76 degrees by the end of the month. (The all-time record high for the month of May is 94, which was set on May 29th, 1969.)

May can also bring very dry conditions, and with that comes the threat of brush fires. During this month is when folks typically start to go camping, but we need to address the issue of wild fires. A red flag warning means critical fire danger with dry brush. This means any fire started could spread rapidly.

Ideal conditions for rapid growth of wildfires include warm temperatures,

very low humidity, and gusty winds.

Camping sites may ban outdoor burning due to these conditions. Additionally, a fire weather watch may be issued in advance of the warning. Recently, The Wharton State Forest has had 2 wild fires. In April, 50 acres burned, and then in early May of 2015, 700 acres burned. This led to some evacuations and the shutdown of Route 206 for a short period of time. I want all of you to have fun this camping season, but please be alert especially if we get to experience a stretch of dry weather and low humidity. These fires can spread rapidly if precautions are not met.

Another thing we start to see in May is an increase in the sea breeze. This is also known as an onshore breeze. It brings cooler weather to the beaches and the boardwalks. Every once in a while we will see a situation where the air on land is warmer and more humid and more unstable. When the sea

breeze hits that air, it's called a convergence zone. This zone of warmer air can often create thunderstorms. The temperature difference can be substantial in areas that the sea breeze has affected, compared to inland areas. It can be 2025 degrees warmer just a few blocks from the beach. For example, it may be

72 on the boardwalk, yet at the airport, which is a few miles inland, the temperature can be almost 90 degrees. As you can see, May has no exemption when it comes to weird weather patterns. We are done with the cold and snow, but other forms of weather will affect our region in the coming months.

Prince Impersonator Looks Back In Awe & Amazement Prince, I never perform as Arlin, it’s always Prince. Since his passing, the pressure is even more so.

I no longer consider myself an “impersonator,” I am a tribute artist.

I am paying tribute to someone I find absolutely amazing every time I perform. It’s surreal. I am blessed to do what I love. I’m not sure if any of this would of happened if I didn’t move to New Jersey. I also think living in Absecon makes taking the show on the road very easy. When you live in South Jersey, you’re a car ride away from major cities and venues. I’ve performed as Prince in West Virginia, Rhode Island, New York City, and Philadelphia. When I travel further away, once again I am close to an airport.

Which is why I was lucky enough to also perform in St. Louis, as well as Evansville Indiana.

Moving to Nj was the perfect storm for me to do what I do. Everything happens for a reason, you just have to be paying attention to the lesson. This past weekend, I performed for the first time since Prince’s passing, at Boogie Nights in the Tropicana.

I was emotional, knowing that Prince is no longer with us. But as I was on stage, performing Purple Rain, it dawned on me: Prince will live on in his music forever. I am so very blessed to get to honor his legacy every time I perform. He may be gone, but he will never be forgotten.

eing a Prince impersonator has been an experience I wouldn’t change for anything. It has allowed me opportunities that probably would never have happened on their own.

And now that Prince has passed, I feel a tremendous responsibility to continue to honor his legacy. Taking the stage as an icon isn’t as easy as you may think. I mean, sure there are those that just throw on a wig and a costume they bought in a bag, but they don’t take it seriously. What true impersonators do, what I do, is different. It is art.

We become a living artwork: the look, the mannerisms, the perfecting of every detail. It’s more intensive than even I imagined when I fell into doing this. I never thought to myself that I would someday be impersonating Prince. It never crossed my mind.

While living in Los Angeles and dancing background for male to female impersonators, I never looked at the Cher or Celine Dion impersonator and wanted that job. I was happy just to dance.

But I never missed an opportunity to learn from everything they did. I was a student of the magic that happens when a person decides to impersonate a celebrity. I took it all in. I had no idea that my move to NJ would someday lead me center stage, impersonating the one and only Prince. But that is exactly what happened. After being told that I look like ‘Prince’ nearly every day while serving cocktails at an Atlantic City casino, I finally asked a coworker: “Which Prince do I look like?” I honestly thought that maybe I looked like some royal Prince from some country I had probably never

6

heard of. My mouth hit the floor when that same coworker brought me a photo of the artist formerly known as Prince. I was shocked; we actually did look alike. And from that day forward, I became a fan.

But more importantly, I used the schooling I learned in LA, from the male to female impersonators with whom I worked, to launch myself into the entertainment world.

I take what I do very seriously.

Yes it’s fun, but more importantly, each time I take the stage, I am representing someone’s legacy.

That isn’t something I take lightly.

Following my dreams has allowed me the opportunity to really focus on the details of what becoming Prince is. Each and every day I take the time I need to perfect Prince.

I personally make each of my costumes, doing my best to recreate each and every detail. Each stitch has a purpose. And every costume takes no less than a week to finish.

The thing is, it’s my duty to create the illusion that you are watching

Bald Eagles Make A Comeback

by Larissa Smith

I

t’s always a wonderful sight to see a bald eagle soaring up in the sky or perched in a tree, and today, if you live in South Jersey, the chances of seeing an eagle are pretty good. When I first began working with the NJ Bald Eagle Project in 2000, there were 25 nesting eagle pairs in New Jersey. Today, the State Endangered and Nongame Species Program, along with the Conserve Wildlife Foundation, are monitoring over 160 pairs throughout the state. Needless to say, the eagle population is doing very well, due to the recovery efforts and the team of dedicated NJ eagle project volunteers and supporters.

Today there are seven known nesting pairs of eagles in Atlantic

County. The pair that has been residing in the county the longest is the Galloway pair. Since 1996 this pair has raised and fledged a total of 29 chicks. During that time, the pair has moved their nest twice and the adults in this pairing have most likely changed. Though eagles do mate for life, when one in the pair is injured or killed, the survivor generally finds a new mate.

Jack Connor, one of our many dedicated eagle project volunteers, has been monitoring the Galloway pair since they were first discovered in 1996. He has an intimate knowledge of this pair, having monitored them every week through all their nesting seasons. He has experienced the joy of seeing chicks in the nest and the thrill of getting to hold one

of those chicks at a banding. But he’s also had disappointment when a nest fails, which can happen during incubation or after hatching. In 2009 the nest collapsed and the two chicks didn’t survive. Fortunately, he has also witnessed the determination of these birds to come back year after year.

In 2014 one chick at the Galloway nest was outfitted with a transmitter.

This allows us to follow his movements after leaving the nest. The bird, nick-named “Nacote,” has been to Canada and back. He has returned to Atlantic County and was spotted at Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge

in April. Eagles reach sexual maturity at five years of age, so he has a few more years before he’ll start nesting.

To follow “Nacote’s” movements, go to the Conserve Wildlife Foundation website. While you’re there, you can see more detailed information on the rest of the Bald Eagle Project as well.

deardarkhead’s Strange Weather Album Review

by Bob Portella

S

outh Jersey’s deardarkhead have been toiling away in somewhat obscurity for what seems like decades...28 years to be exact. They play an atmospheric, instrumental rock style (self-described as “oceanic”) that owes debt to British post-punk bands like The Cure, Echo & the Bun-

and the sturdy rhythm section of Weiss and McCauley.Recording and production was done in Philadelphia’s Miner Street studio, bringing out perhaps the finest sounding piece of music in the band’s career.

For now, who needs vocals? There

nymen and Cocteau Twins.The Linwood-based band, which formed in 1988, has had their fortunes change recently. A new deardarkhead record “Strange Weather” was released on March 25th on the Texas-based label Saint Marie Records. Reviews and response to Strange Weather have been very positive so far from many corners of the world. A previous compilation of their earlier material from the 1990’s was released in 2011 on the Brooklyn label Captured Tracks, home to popular indie rock artists such as Mac DeMarco and Beach Fossils.

The recent resurgence and reunions of many similar-sounding bands, defined as “dream pop” or “shoegaze” (such as My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, and Lush) have helped lesser known, yet hard-working bands such as deardarkhead find a wider audience. “Unlike the well known bands from the original shoegaze scene, we’ve never stopped playing since we started and people are finally beginning

Hopefully, deardarkhead’s fortunes will continue “Falling Upward”-- as noted in the propulsive opening track-- proving that persistence does indeed pay off.

to discover us. Although we have evolved over the years, we have tried to remain true to our sound while still being modern and not stuck in the past. We don’t make music for the masses, and given the sorry state of mainstream music today we wouldn’t want to,” says drummer and founding member Robert Weiss.

The band also comprises guitarist Kevin Harrington who joined in 1992 and bassist Kevin McCauley who joined in 2010, replacing former bassist/vocalist Michael Amper.

They remain an instrumental trio to this point,but would be willing to find a vocalist if one came along.

“Losing your singer would be a major setback for most bands, but it has forced us to be more creative in our songwriting and we are very happy exploring our new direction; it would really have to be the right person,” says Weiss of the situation.

For now, deardarkhead’s power resides in Harrington’s melodic,flowing effects-laden guitar lines

The Kid Isn’t The Problem, The Problem Is The Problem

by Stu Mark

I

created a parenting concept for our house, and those I’ve shared it with have asked that I share it more often. I want you all to know that this is something that I feel strongly about, and that it works efficiently, not just for kids, but for parents as well. In fact, I find it works in any situation, with any human being, anywhere.

The Kid Isn’t The Problem, The Problem Is The Problem

When I have a problem that concerns one of my kids (meaning: When I want them to do something that they refuse to do), I see that I have a choice. I see The Problem as a big ugly beast that has invaded the sanctity of my home, a monster that has created havoc within the peaceful structure of my family. Now, I could visualize my child standing on the other side of a line, next to The Problem, with me yelling across the line, “Hey, The Problem is yours!

You better solve The Problem.” Instead, I see myself standing next to my child, withThe Problem alone on the other side of the line. I see myself putting an

arm around my child, saying “Hey, you see The Problem? It’s pretty ugly, huh?

Well, let me tell you something, you and me, we’re gonna defeat The Problemtogether.”

Then, together, me and my kid talk about what’s going on and how we can fix it. We share with each other how we feel about the issue, we reveal our fears or concerns or frustrations. We talk with each other without blaming each other, without pointing any fingers. We problem-solve, building a more positive future for each other and for ourselves and our relationship. We defeat the monster that is The Problem and we do it together.

I find that this strategy makes my kids feel better about themselves.

They feel accompanied during these moments, as though they have a real team-mate, a real partner in the battle against The Problem. They feel respected. They feel uniquely empowered. It also minimizes or eliminates shame. In the end, this strategy achieves two important goals. It greatly increases the chance that The Problem will be eliminated, and it provides a long-term feeling inside my kid’s soul, a feeling of unconditional love.

Eagles look toward the future and take Carson Wentz in the draft

by Matthew Christy

n Thursday April 28th, the Eagles took a step at solidifying the future by selecting North Dakota State Quarterback Carson Wentz with the 2nd pick in the 2016 NFL draft. This whole process started in March when the Eagles made a trade with the Miami Dolphins to move up from the 13th pick to the 8th overall pick.

Then, just a week before the draft, the Birds made a huge trade with the Cleveland Browns. This deal involved multiple draft picks heading to Cleveland, including a 2017 1st round pick and 2018 2nd round pick. The question is: Why did the team do this, despite having Sam Bradford? They re-signed him to a 2-year deal back in March. Sam Bradford has since requested to be traded. They also signed free agent Chase Daniel, whom Head Coach Doug Pederson knows from his days in Kansas City.

General Manager Howie Roseman felt that this was the Eagles best chance to move up and select a franchise Quarterback. Eagles fans are split on the decision to trade up. Some fans are very excited that the Birds traded up and were able to select the QB with the highest upside in the draft. Other fans are upset that the team traded draft picks to move up to select a relatively unproven player, someone who has only played one game against a FBS school. Many fans wanted the Eagles to stay at their spot and select a very good player with the 8th pick, such as an offensive lineman or a cornerback or possibly a wide receiver.

Here are some facts about Carson Wentz: He went 20-3 as a starter.

He broke his wrist early on in the 2015 season, but rebounded to have a great finish to the season. He stands 6’5 and weighs 235 pounds. He won the award for Most Outstanding player in NCAA Division Championship game twice. He is a proven winner, earning national titles every year that

he was at North Dakota State. Wentz’ stock began to rise at the Senior Bowl and then at the NFL Combine. He scored a 29 on the Wonderlic test, which is well above average. That proves he is very intelligent.

Roseman also mentioned that several quarterbacks are approaching their age 30 season, and that more teams will be more aggressive in the coming years to get their next franchise quarterback, so the Eagles decided not to wait, and instead, decided to make this move now.

In my opinion, I would not have done the deal. I would have stayed at number eight and selected a very good player at either cornerback or offensive tackles. Major trades like this will take years to decide whether it was worth it, but if Wentz leads the Eagles to a Super Bowl Victory, fans will forget how much it took to trade up to get him, as it will be worth every penny. Carson Wentz is the Eagles quarterback of the future, let’s hope and pray he brings the big trophy back to a city that truly deserves it.

New Jersey Surfing Hall of Fame: “Endless Summer” Farewell Cocktail Party

by Willie Fannon

Friday, May 13th 5pm to 10pm at the Tuckerton Seaport Museum.

I

f you haven’t had a chance to check out the Endless Summer exhibit at the NJ Surfing Hall of Fame at the Tuckerton Seaport Museum you still have some time. Bruce Brown’s Endless Summer Movie, released worldwide in 1966, brought surfing to the masses. Still to this day, I appreciate the movie and I myself am on a mission to find the endless summer.

One way I know that the mission will be a success is the NJ Surfing Hall of Fame. Started in 2015, it has about 35 New Jersey surfers who are recognized for their achievements. I recently found out about the event through Brian Heritage of Heritage Surf and Sport in Sea Isle City. His father, Dan Heritage, a legendary local shaper, was inducted into the NJ Surfing Hall of Fame last year.

The exhibit has been running to commemorate the Endless Summer’s 50 th Birthday. Come out on May 13 th to say goodbye before it returns to California! Admission is free with some complimentary eats courtesy of Surf Taco. Drinks will be available for purchase while you rock out to music by the L.B.I. Surf Band. Come hang out with the local legends, HOF members, and

the surf community. I will be there soaking up the history and learning about the surfing roots. The event

is going on from 5pm to 10pm. It’s currently running from 10am to 4pm seven days a week till May 15 th .

You’re ready to go swimming, but you don’t want to leave your valuables unattended. Here’s what you do: Wrap your keys and wallet inside a clean disposable diaper. Few petty thieves will be inspired to pick it up or investigate what’s inside. Just be sure not to accidentally toss your “special package” into the trash as you leave.

Use a plastic snow sled as a beach tow.

Let’s go to the beach! Sounds simple enough until you remember you’ve got to get the kids, towels, toys, and food from the car to that perfect spot by the water. – The answer is a piece of winter play equipment: a plastic snow sled. Load up the sled with beach supplies and drag it across the sand, saving yourself several trips back and forth to the car.

The Estellville GlassWorks Atlantic County’s Time In A Bottle

T

he Estellville Glassworks are located in the Atlantic County Park at Estell Manor, on the east side of Route 50, 3.5 miles south of Mays Landing.

These sites are an early 19th century glass factory that was in operation from 1825-1877. The factory was built between 1825-26 by John H. Scott for the Estell family. Glass production began in 1826. The glassworks flourished during the mid-1800’s. It was possibly the first glassworks that had the capability of producing both hollow ware (bottles) and window glass. The Estell family owned and operated the factory until 1858. The factory had many owners following and finally closed completely in 1877.

The following is a descriptive list of the structures associated with the production of glass at Estellville:

1. The Melting Furnace Site

The melting furnace was a rectangular structure with three sections or rooms. The main furnace was located in the center room with the swing pits and the stoking area on either side. The swing pits were where the glassblower, having drawn a gather (a clump of glass on his pipe and expanded it), would swing the pipe back and forth to elongate the glass into a cylinder shape. The section to the east was used for pre- drying the wood (used as fuel for the furnace) and for the sand (a material used to make the glass). The section to the west was used for the storage of new pots, so they could be kept hot. The pot ash was also kept in this location.

This was an oven where the pots about to be used in the main furnace were preheated. This building measured approximately 45 feet by 70 feet and stood 15 feet high. It was constructed of sandstone and aggregated stone and cemented with limestone mortar. All four walls of this structure were once pierced with large arched openings set in brick. Pictures reveal it was once topped with a sloping wooden roof.

The melting furnace is the best preserved of the three above ground sites.

2. The Pot House Site

The pot house, a rectangular structure, was used for making and storing the pots in which the raw materials (sand, limestone, soda, salt) were melted to make glass.

MAY 5 - 18 , 2016

This structure stood directly north of the Melting Furnace site. It was built of the same sandstone material as the melting house, repeating the same brick arched openings.

The roof was most likely wood, although no evidence of this remains.

The only standing wall surface is the southwest corner that contains two window openings with the original pegged mortise and tenon lintel.

3. Flattening House Site

The flattening house was a long narrow building with a flattening oven at the north end and an annealing section at the south end. It was utilized only in window pane production. It was here that glass cylinders, each 8-10 inches in diameter, that came from the melting furnace, were processed.

The cylinders were rocked back and forth with a wooden rod until they were flat. They were then transferred the to annealing section where the glass was relieved of stress by heating and gradually cooling. The material used to build this structure is the same as that of the Melting Furnace and the Pot House. Presently, there are no existing walls. The remains clearly show the outline of a rectangular structure measuring approximately 25 feet by 60 feet. A dry laid brick well exists in the structure. The exact use of this well is uncertain, although it may have had a role in the annealing process.

vidual foundations above ground, although it is believed that 10 to 12 houses were built at this site.

In 1995-1996, the ruins of the Estellville Glassworks underwent a stabilization. General erosion,

vandalism, and acid rain were the main factors leading to the decision to help save what is left. Sidewalks and interpretive signs were placed at the sites, so this site is now more visitor friendly.

4-5. Cutting House And Lime Kiln Sites

These two sites, which remain completely below the surface, were uncovered in 1975 during the completion of the Environmental Resource and Historical Inventory of Estell Manor Park. The cutting house was typically a long and narrow structure where the large sheets of glass were cut from the sheets formed at the flattening house. The glass panels were also packed and readied for shipment in this building. The lime kiln or shed was most likely a simple square or oblong structure used to store lime and other raw materials that were used to make glass.

6. Workers Houses Sites

These were simple buildings and where some of the glassblowers and other factory workers dwelled.

There are portions of eight indi-

Upcoming Ocean City Events ▶MARTIN ▶ Z. MOLLUSK DAY IS SATURDAY The 42 nd annual Martin Z. Mollusk Day will be held 11 a.m. Saturday, May 7 on the Beach adjacent to the Music Pier, Boardwalk and Moorlyn Terrace. We have moved the event to a Saturday so that children of school age will be able to attend.

Martin Z. Mollusk was first escorted to the beach on a pizza pie plate by me, Mark Soifer, his spiritual advisor and personal chef in 1974. Mayor B. Thomas Waldman and Commissioner Marilyn Moore jeopardized their reputations by attending the ceremony.

On that historic day, a legend was established. It was that if Martin saw his shadow on the sand, summer would come a week early, much to the joy of bathers and business interests.

Martin did see his shadow. And sure enough, summer did arrive early. It has every year since, except for 1987, when Martin saw a partial shadow and the season arrived 3½ days ahead of time.

Martin is no longer conveyed to the beach on a pizza pie plate (although pizza crust is one of his favorite snacks). Over the years, two elaborate thrones have been constructed for the crustacean, the first by Mrs. Joan Maguire and most recently, one by Ray Esterlund. Both are legendary throne designers who donated their services because of their admiration for the celebrated weather prognosticator.

An inspirational ceremony is planned featuring the world’s only Wind Chimes Band; Dr. Frankenstein and Nurse Perfect, who will check the crab’s vital signs before he is permitted to creep; Arrgh the Air Circus Pirate, who will provide security; and Shelley the Mermaid, aka Suzanne Muldowney, who will sing “Some Enchanted Morning” before Martin heads for the “Circle of Truth” and attempts to see his shadow.

The late Daniel Bready, who for years brought Big Momma Llama to the ceremony to authenticate Martin’s Shadow, will be remembered and honored.

His family will accept a plaque of appreciation for Dan’s valuable contributions and support of

Martin Z. Mollusk Day. All children who attend the ceremony will be invited to the beach to receive a miniature shell replica of Martin. For information, call the Big Crab, (609) 399-6111. ▶ ATTN ▶ LOCAL CHARITIES: Any charity that would like to apply for funds from the Miss Night In Venice Pageant Committee should mail the request to the Miss Night In Venice Pageant Committee, PO Box 433, Ocean City, NJ 08226.

T.Byrd Computer Forum – Basic Computer Skills Series: A Guide for Beginners: Internet and E-Mail Written by: Trina Byrd, President T.Byrd Computers

T

hanks for tuning in for our next article from the Basic Computer Skills Series – Internet and E-Mail: Even if you live under a rock, you know what the Internet is. It is actually thrown in our face on a daily basis. Newscasts will tell us: “For more information, tune in to 6abc. com,” or “That business you shop at for groceries will advertise to get your digital coupons; Go to our website to print.” Today, we live in a world where, if you don’t have access to the internet, you are unable to apply for a job, get the phone number to a business for free, purchase certain merchandise, check your email, share your photos with family and friends, and the list goes on and on! So I am assuming we all have access to the internet whether at home, or your cell phone, or at a local library.

So who should our internet provider be? Well almost all internet providers are packaged, such as Comcast – you now get your phone, internet, and TV all in one package. This is a good thing; there is only one bill and you don’t

have to figure out how to connect to it. It is all completed by the technician when your services are installed, whether it’s Verizon or Comcast (and both of them are pretty much the same pricing for the same or similar value). Also if there is a problem they will send a technician out to fix it so they can continue to bill you.

Ok so now what? Well, the good news is that you can search the Internet for just about anything. I always tell my potential clients: Go to the Internet – www. youtube.com. There you will find such a vast of videos on any given subject from personal ccomputer basics to how to install a program to problem solving. We recently had a problem with our trunk lock on our truck and, of course, we “youtubed” it, and sure enough, there was a video showing us how to fix it. So the Internet is a very powerful tool if used responsibly.

You never want to input any confidential information, such as account numbers or your home address, without ensuring that you are on a safe and secure website.

Most of us now make 50 percent of our purchases online using the most popular Amazon.com, where

we can save money and also get free shipping right to your door.

The down side to using the Internet is that there are bad people with bad intentions who prey on young children and seniors. So don’t ever download or click on an unfamiliar website asking for personal information, or even people that you don’t know who try to befriend you. Remember you really don’t know who is on the other side of the closed door when accessing the Internet. My suggestion is not to ignore using the vast features of the Internet, just be careful like you do when you cross the street; you always look both ways!

Our next subject is email. Well, you can’t have an email address without first having access to the internet. The e stands for electronic, which simply means you get your mail electronically through the internet. This tech process has almost replaced the fax machine. I remember when I first started my business in 1990, the fax machine was the most important piece of technology in the office; Why? Because it allowed you to get documents from across the country or across the world immediately. Now, speed forward

to 2016, where there isn’t a person who doesn’t have an email address for personal, business, or both. We use this process to send important documents known as attachment s to each other instantly. In business, it has replaced the mail often referred to now as snail mail. So where should you get an email account? Most e-mail addresses are free such as gmail, yahoo, etc. I recommend gmail from Google because it comes with plenty of other features. There are many of us older folk who are just getting use to email and still can not do email attachments, send photos, etc. The good news is, if you go to: http:// tbyrdlive.com/shorelocal/ you will find a quick tutorial, a user guide that you can download for free to become more proficient in using these features that have taken over how we communicate with each other. You can even sign up for our newsletter that features all kinds of tech tips for beginners. As always, if you have any questions, call us at: 609 -4849356 or email us at thetbyrdcenter@gmail.com. Stay tuned for our next article on laptops vs tablets vs chromebooks!

a dog. We had outlived four dogs and didn’t want to go through the pain of losing another dog. But our daughter, never one to take no for an answer, said “You have to come with me to see something great.” We went to the Pleasantville animal shelter and met Itty Bit, a 14-pound part-Westie. Our daughter said, “Mom, just hold her for a minute.”

She held her and I could see it was love at first sight, and I knew, right then, it was a done deal.

We named her Itty Bit, because all our other dogs were large. She was the perfect dog for us then, and now, five years later, even more so.

Itty Bit had a plan from the beginning. For the first two weeks, she slept in a

crate in the kitchen. Never had to put her in, just said go in and she went and, although she barked a lot during the day, she never barked at night. Then after two weeks I said, “Get in your crate,” but she went to the bedroom door and just looked at me. So I took her bed out of the crate and into the bedroom. About a month later, she put her paws up on the bed and again looked at me.

She has been sleeping in our bed ever since.

The part where I believe she rescued us is that from her first day until now, five years later, we took her for a walk every day all year long, hardly ever missing a day. It helped our blood pressure and our arthritis, among other things. She keeps us laughing a lot, playing with her toys.

And every time we come home, she makes us feel like the most important people on earth.

Our daughter was right, we needed our dog even more than our dog needed us.

The Rescue Dog That Rescued Us

by Charles Christy

M

y wife and I, both retired, moved to Egg Harbor Township 10 years ago, to be near our daughter and grandchildren, an 11 year-old boy and 9 year-old twin girls. It was great being busy, always having something to do, going to school events, boardwalk rides, the beach, helping out with transportation to here, there, and everywhere.

Then, as they got older, things slowed down for us. We were called on less and less for transportation and events. Started spending more time in front of the TV and on the sofa. Blood pressure creeping up, arthritis getting worse (among other reasons to just not do much).

Doctors were on us to exercise and move more.

At some point, our daughter said, “You two need a dog!” “No, no, not again,” I said. Since we were married, back in 1958, we always had

Happy Mother’s Day An open letter from a daughter to her mom

D

ear Mom, 6:00 am was always our time.

As a young child, it’s when I’d wake you up. Bouncing on your bed with my “Super Sarah” cape meant that the day had begun, and every day was a great day.

I’d watch SpongeBob while you watched the news. You’d sip your coffee and I’d sip my milk, which always gave me a runny nose. You’d wipe it for me, though.

Cuddled under the blankets, I would always sniff your hair. Clean, citrusy. It smelled like home.

Then years later, waking up for school. I’d always be jealous of my sister, because you carried her downstairs. Not me, I could manage an alarm clock.

Banana pancakes sizzled on the skillet while Dad brewed your second cup. The rising sun gleamed through the windows, turning your hair into gold.

Our dog leaped on the table to snag a pancake, but you wouldn’t stir.

When homework and tests and work took over, our early mornings kept us together.

The sun rose and set, and then I entered high school.

The busy yet optimistic 6:00 am had transformed. The chirping birds were now overpowered by Elmo singing or Big Bird playing on the computer screen.

Jamie, my brother with autism, had become a morning person. At 20 years old, he refused to wear headphones, or play the sound somewhat quiet.

With messy hair and your beaten-down plaid robe, you’d trudge downstairs for three cups of coffee.

The sun hadn’t risen yet, but you had.

We couldn’t make banana pancakes anymore, because Jamie developed an allergy. You’d try to watch the news, but Sesame Street had invaded our house, and seemed to be there to stay.

I couldn’t sit next you, because you were always with Jamie. The Bird with the broken wing gets the most attention, you always taught me.

“Let’s do something for us,” I pleaded. “Come with me.”

As I entered college, I escaped our morning fiasco and joined the gym.

Now I needed my mom, because 6:00 am is our time.

Begrudgingly, she accepted.

Early morning coffee was replaced with protein shakes. We traded a couch with a gym, and would rather have a personal trainer force us into pushups than watch the news.

But with every sprint, we grow even closer. Her blond, shimmery hair, tied up in ponytail, sways when we race on the treadmill.

Every day I can’t wait to go back.

Excited to wake up, because the bark of a personal trainer serenades our time together.

Because through all the exams and papers and autism and work, my

day isn’t complete without my 6am.

And every early morning I spend with you, the more I want to be like you.

Thank you, for you. For the goofy smile on your face when you make a joke, and the way you laugh when things get tough. The way you remember every detail about life, and somehow make life the very best it can be.

Happy Mother’s Day. See you for brunch at 6:00 am.
