Top 10 Movies To Look Out For This Summer

by Roberto Nieves

# 10

Finding Dory, Walt Disney Pictures, Pixar Animation, 6/17/16 The sequel to the 2003 movie that defined an entire generation, Finding Dory looks to capture the magic and spirit of its predecessor, with a heartfelt story, great visuals, and good comedy, especially from lead voice actress, Ellen DeGeneres, as Dory Free State of jones, STX Entertainment, 6/24/16 This historical war action-drama comes from STX Entertainment Studios, the makers of the incredible Hardcore Henry. Matthew McConaugheyleads this true Civil War story at a time where the people of 2016 are fighting to preserve Civil War history.

Independence Day: Resurgence, 20th Century Fox, 6/24/16

A sequel 20 years in the making, this installment looks to bring the fun and destruction of its predecessor to a new, more nostalgic generation. Jeff Goldblum leads the fi lm, along with many familiar and new faces alike when the aliens come back from space for payback and revenge.

The Legend of Tarzan, Warner Bros pictures 7/1/16 For audiences still feeling the jungle fever left by Disney’s Jungle Book, Warner Bros is releasing their interpretation of Tarzan, faithfully based on the ideas of author Edgar Rice Burroughs. This picture will star alongside Samuel L Jackson. It will feature leaping action combined with incredible effects. No singing expected.

and directed by Mr. Spielberg. Based on the book of the same name by Roald Dahl, the BFG is set to be an extravagant fantasy film where a young girl befriends a giant to hunt for the evil giants that threaten the Earth.

The Infi ltrator, Broad Green Pictures, 7/13/16 Another left-field arrival is this drama/thriller based on the true story of taking down the notorious drug kingpin Pablo Escobar. Bryan Cranston takes the lead in this hunt to take down one of the most notorious criminal mastermind of the 20th century.

Star Trek Beyond, Paramount Pictures, 7/22/16 Continuing in the style established by the Star Trek reboot of 2009, Beyond sets the stage for a new, fresh, and thrilling adventure. In addition to starring Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto in their respective roles, this film will be directed by Justin Lin of Fast and Furious acclaim.

Jason Bourne, Universal Pictures 7/29/16 It has been 9 years since Matt Damon last stepped into the shoes of a multi-million dollar weapon gone

awry. The Bourne series has set the stage of espionage action and great conspiracy storytelling. Jason Bourne sees Mr. Damon return to the role, Tommy Lee Jones pursuing him, and a new adventure to uncover.

Suicide Squad, Warner Bros, DC Comics 8/5/16 Suicide squad is an action/comedy film, pitting our favorite villains on a dangerous mission to a city in peril.

The irony is part of the fun. Jake Gyllenhaal stars as the Clown Prince of Crime, The Joker, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn and Will Smith as Deadshot. While the movie takes place in the world of Batman Versus Superman, this suicide squad wears no capes.

The Magnificent Seven, Village Roadshow Pictures 9/23/16 Starring Chris Pratt and Denzel Washington, The Magnificent Seven is a remake of the 1960 western classic film, which was also a remake of a 1954 Japanese film, the seven samurai. With Denzel’s success in The Equalizer and ChrisPratt’s recent success in Jurassic World, this story, directed by Antonione Fuquo, looks to end the summer with a bang!

Hometown Hero: Laurie Zaleski

Chuckie and his special chair

Jamie, 22, of EHT, chills out with a Funny Farm horse

300 animals residing there. One of the most interesting is Chuckie, a German Shepherd with a rare esophageal condition. At 3 months old, veterinarians told Zaleski there was no chance for survival, recommending the pup be euthanized. Zaleski had other ideas!

To survive, Chuckie had to eat a specialized and costly liquid formula in an upright position because of his esophageal condition. Zaleski’s idea was to train the dog to eat in a chair. While a pup, Zaleski used an infant seat. As he grew, she built a chair, similar to a highchair, for feeding Chuckie. Seeing is believing! As Zaleski called Chuckie to eat, he

aurie Zaleski was the child that was always bringing home animals to rescue.

Fast forward to 2016. Zaleski is the founder and president of Funny Farm Rescue, a sanctuary for abused, abandoned, or injured animals. It is a 501c3 nonprofi t charity located on 15 acres in Mays Landing.

“Laurie is the heart and soul of this farm,” a volunteer remarked. “She inspires me to to be a better person.”

The Funny Farm’s primary mission is to provide life-saving care for animals in need. There are over

joyfully hopped into his chair, now 3 and a half years old, full of energy and smiles.

The Funny Farm benefits more than just animals. It has become a light in the community. Children come to learn about the shelter on class trips. Nursing home residents and those with special needs are welcomed on a regular basis for therapeutic visits. Volunteers lend hands and rally to raise funds to help meet the cost of food, which exceeds $100,000 per year for the animals. Many of the volunteers are struggling with their own challenges such as PTSD and depression. Janine Spengler, a frequent volunteer

adds,”Coming here makes me forget about my problems because the animals need me more.”

At Funny Farm Rescue, 100% of the donations go to the animals. If you would like to donate, there are many ways you can help. Donate your time as a volunteer. Go to the website, funnyfarmrescue.org and make a secure monetary donation. Come to the shelter for direct donations of egg cartons, produce, or dog and cat food. “Wet cat food is always a need,” reports Zaleski.

Zaleski hopes to one day be able to leave the farm to the animals. “So there is always a sanctuary for the animals,” she adds.

Three Key Fundamentals for Golf: Posture, Grip, Alignment (PGA)

by Howard Salter

W

hether you are a novice to the game of golf or a low handicapper, it’s vital to have sound fundamentals in order to strike the ball better, lower your scores and enhance the enjoyment of playing the game.

If you find your swing is out of sync or your golf ball is constantly flying off the club to the right or left of your intended target, chances are one, or all, of these is a bit off kilter: Posture, grip and alignment.

Or, as I like to say, the “PGA” for the average player, as opposed to the Professional Golfers’ Association of America, which is the world’s largest sports organization, representing 28,000 men and women professionals who teach the game to players of all levels across the country.

The young boy in these photos, Matthew, is 13 years old. He plays left handed, so any mention of “right” or “left” in this article will be opposite for right-handed players. While he began hitting golf balls at about the age of three, it was not until one year ago that he spoke to his parents

about wanting to “take the game more seriously” in hopes of making his high school golf team in 2017. Working with Maryland PGA member Martin Zdravec, along with his father, Matthew’s changed all three “PGA” components in the past six months with wonderful results, as he’s now consistently shooting in the low-tomid 40s for nine holes, including several rounds in the 30s.

The first change was Matthew’s grip.

Like many novice players, his natural inclination was to hold the club with a very strong grip. Meaning, his top hand was turned too far to the left, while his bottom hand was too far underneath the club (photo 1).

40 Professional Grade Lanes

It’s vital that the hands work together in the golf swing in order to have the best chance to make solid and consistent impact with the golf ball. While his new grip “felt funny” at first, Matthew adapted to the change quickly.

In the second photo, you can see how his top hand is in a more neutral position, with the “V” formed by the crease between his thumb and index finger pointing straight toward his left shoulder. Also note how his bottom hand is now positioned. A good technique to check the bottom hand is to hold the club with the correct top-hand position and then feel as if your bottom hand is shaking hands with the club.

Over the past year, Matthew’s also worked with Martin to ensure the alignment of his shoulders, hips and feet are parallel. A golfer’s body alignment needs be parallel to the clubhead. This means that wherever your clubhead is aiming, your feet, hips, & shoulders should be aiming parallel to that. As you can see in photo three below,

Happy Hour 4 to 7 6622 Black Horse Pike EHT ZZZ NLQJERZOLQJ1- FRP

Matthew’s feet and shoulders used to be too open, pointing well right of his intended target. No matter how good a player may be, if your feet, shoulders, hips and clubhead are not parallel and working together, it’s going to be incredibly difficult to hit quality shots. In recent months, Matthew's alignment has gotten much more consistent as seen in photo four (with the yardstick).

It can be difficult, but not impossible, for a golfer to check their own alignment.

One way to help yourself align properly is to use a yardstick.

By placing a stick along the ground, pointed at your intended target, you can check to see that your shoulders, hips, feet and club head are all on the same path. Many players find it more beneficial to have another person stand behind them in order to check their alignment.

The final “PGA” component Matthew is now working on is his posture.

As you can see in photo five, he used to stand very upright, with his shoulders well behind his feet.

This posture precipitated a very upright backswing and a steep downswing, often causing the ball to fade/slice of to his left.

In recent weeks, he’s gotten into much better position, as you can see in photo number six.

He is now more bent over at the waist, with his shoulders over his feet. By getting into the proper posture, he’s now able to swing more around his body, thus allowing him to attack the ball from a better position. The result is a more consistent, on-plane swing, with much better accuracy and distance.

The “PGAs” may seem dull, but if you correctly implement them into your game, the results can be dramatic. While I am far from a teaching pro and have never been better than a six handicap, by knowing the “PGAs” and understanding their importance, I’ve usually been able to consistently get my own game back on track over the years, while also helping many friends with their fundamentals.

Safety On The Water Raising A Mindful Generation

By Karina Sanchez and Bailey Hurst

A

rthur Ashe once said, “One important key to success is self-confidence. An important key to self-confidence is preparation”. As a member of a generation whose preparation is found the night before an exam and confidence is located behind screens it’s clear this quote needs to be addressed. The one true event we’ve all seen: countless teens prepare for their drivers test. Everyone completes a mandatory written exam before being seated behind the wheel.

But the preparation doesn’t stop there.

All students of the drivers Ed program are required to complete six hours of driving with an instructor before being awarded with their drivers permit. This preparation leads to the confidence needed to pass the drivers test and to safely navigate the roads. This confidence and preparation is nowhere to be found while taking the boating exam. Most teens see our back bays as a summer playground, a place to forget about road signs and traffic laws, a place to just sit back and enjoy summer festivities. This carefree mindset can be

JUNE 16 - 29 , 2016

detrimental to the boating community and the next generation of captains and sailors.

Between having fun and checking local conditions, not many people remember the one most important skill when you’re in or around the water: the ability to think safely. The ability to think safely comes from the development of good judgment. It’s needless to say that the first mandatory aspect of water safety is the aptitude of swimming. Kids should be introduced to swimming as early as their first contact with the water. Once a child develops muscle memory and feels safe handling the different situations on the water, it’s time to understand the basics of water safety. There are not many things to remember but they should absolutely be part of their subconscious thought: 1. Life Jackets are a MUST. Set the example. Always carry and wear life jackets on any type of vesselor board. Life jackets nowadays are inexpen-

sive, comfortable and they will helpprevent drowning.

2. Always watch out for your buddy.

Having a buddy will always be a safety precaution to any water activity.

Whether you are swimming, diving, sailing, canoeing or just relaxing by the pool, always have someonewith you and always let someone know of your plans. Buddies stay together, monitor each other, and alert if either needs assistance or is missing.

3. Communication is key.

Kids need to learn the importance of communicating when they need help. The ability to communicate effectively onthe water is vital to continued safety and enjoyment. Always carry at least TWO reliable forms of communication. Marine radios, cellphones and visual distress signals are a few different types of communication you’ll want to have on board 4. For the hundredth time: wear sunscreen and stay hydrated!

It doesn’t matter if it’s sunny, rainy or cloudy out. Make sure drinking water and applying sunscreen is a habit within your family and children.

5. Take care of your equipment and your equipment will take care of you.

Just like getting the oil changed or replacing the tires of a car, taking care of your boats and boards will make your time in the water safer and more enjoyable.

6. Checklists are simple and useful tools for any activity on the water.

Browse for a few references and customize your personal checklist based on your family profile and equipment. Kids and teens should go through them in every occasion possible in order to learn with repetition.

Everyone is looking forward to a nice, relaxed summer here at the shore. Let us not forget the importance of keeping our family and friends safe and informed about what is acceptable and what behaviors should be avoided when in and around the water. We must continue to raise a safe and informed generation. As Summer 2016 kicks off, remember the few simple things that will help make your time on the water safe and enjoyable for all.

If you want to be a big part of the action during Atlantic City’s signature summer event, this is your chance!

A variety of volunteer positions are available, on a limited basis, during this year’s Atlantic City Airshow. If you are a fan, veteran, or just have a passion for the show and want to volunteer your time, contact Ryane Watkins, at 609-748-7661, or send an email to ryane.watkins@dolce.com.

Acts already confirmed for the Atlantic City Airshow are the U.S.A.F. Thunderbirds, U. S. Army Golden Knights Parachute Team, U.S. Marine Corps MV 22 Osprey and the GeicoSkytypers. A full list of performers and a schedule of events will be released as we get closer to take-off.

2016 Hurricane Season Forecast

by Matthew Christy

O

n June 1st, the 2016 Hurricane Season officially began. However the first named storm occurred back in January. That was hurricane Alex. Since then tropical storms Bonnie and Colin have formed making it the earliest that we have seen three named storms. Does that mean we will continue the active start to the season? That remains to be seen. Most experts are predicting an above average season, with thirteen to fifteen named storms, along with six to eight hurricanes, and three major hurricanes. The average is twelve storms, six hurricanes and three major hurricanes respectively. Some of the factors that may play a huge role into the above average season include a transition to La Nina and warmer then normal water temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea and the Western Atlantic Ocean.

Early in the season, the areas primed for development include the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea and

the Western Atlantic Ocean. As the season progresses, areas east of the Lesser Antillies and once August arrives and as we head into September the Cape Verde Season gets started.

Those are the storms that come off the coast of Africa, move west and can develop from a tropical wave into a tropical storm or hurricane very quickly. Depending on the steering winds some storms will hit the Leeward

and Windward Islands before moving into the Caribbean Sea and potentially the Gulf of Mexico. Other storms will miss the Islands and curve out to Sea. Those are known as Fish Storms.

They only effect the fishing vessels out there in the Atlantic Ocean. The peak of Hurricane Season is around September 10th.

New Jersey has seen its fair share of effects from tropical storms and hurri-

canes over the last twenty years. Floyd hit the area in September of 1999 and caused some flooding in the area however the worst of the weather occurred inland and along the Pennsylvania-New Jersey border.

Irene made landfall as a strong tropical storm in August of 2011 in the vicinity of Little Egg Inlet. The storm caused one billion dollars in damage in the state and caused massive disruption of public transit along with many flooded roads.

Sandy, yes as much as we would love to forget that event, many of us will remember that storm forever. That storm is the costliest storm to ever hit New Jersey. Everyone was effected by Sandy and it will take some towns years and possibly decades to completely rebuild.

Sandy hit the coast in October of 2012 and some towns will never be the same.

Often many times storms will pass between the east coast and Bermuda. Those storms have a tendency to cause very high surf and dangerous rip currents. Watch your local news station to see where and when the most dangerous rip currents will occur.

Ground-Water: The Deeper, Confined Kirkwood Aquifers

by Heather O’Shea

T

he last Shore Local installment discussed the Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer system (the previous two articles can be found at www.shorelocalnews. com). The title of that article, “The Kirkwood-Cohansey Aquifer System, South Jersey’s Greatest Resource” discussed the importance of this aquifer systemfor both drinking water supply and the local ecology. This was further emphasized by reference to a map of the spatial extent of the Pinelands, which relies entirely on waters from the Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer system. Stating, “South Jersey’s Greatest Resource” is a bold statement, and not one that I would retract. However, there is another contender that is just as important in South Jersey (if not more) in terms of human consumptive use and our local tourism economy.

The Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer system is referred to as an aquifer system due to the fact it is a combination of two connected aquifers representing two geologic formations; the overlying Cohansey and the underlying Kirkwood geologic units. Typically, if an aquifer exists in a specific geologic formation, the aquifer is naturally named after the geologic formation name. But what if one geologic unit contains numerous layers of aquifers

JUNE 16 - 29 , 2016

and confining beds? Such is the case with the deeper portion of the Kirkwood formation. Two additional aquifers that exist in the Kirkwood are the Rio Grande water-bearing zoneand the Atlantic City 800-foot sand.

Photo – Groundwater Part 3.jpg Water from the Atlantic City 800-foot sand is the principal source of ground-water supply for the barrier island communities in Atlantic, Ocean, and Cape May Counties; supplying ground-water from Harvey Cedars in Ocean County to Stone Harbor in Cape May County. The Atlantic City 800-foot sand is a confined aquifer (water surface is not open to the atmosphere, as discussed in the previous article). The inset figure shows a magnified illustration of the Coastal Plain underlying Atlantic City. As seen in the figure, the Atlantic City 800-foot sand lies beneath a massive clay layer. Following the overall trend of the Coastal Plain, this overlying clay layer thickens in the southeasterly direction and ranges from less than 100-feet thick in the Mays Landing area, to its greatest along the barrier beaches of Cape May County, where a thickness of 400 to 450-feet is common.Borehole information for the Kirkwood formation indicates that the Atlantic City 800-foot sand zone continues west beyond its overlying confining unit and eventually merges with the unconfined Kirkwood-Cohansey

aquifer system. Therefore, most of the ground-water recharge in the Atlantic City 800-foot sand takes place from the western portion of the unconfined Kirkwood-Cohansey system.Ground-water is also minimally recharged by leakage through the thick clay bed. Water from this zone is highly valued, particularly because this deep, confined aquifer is largely protected from potential sources of surficial contamination.

The aquifer itself also thickens to the southeastand is approximately 40-feet thick at Barnegat Light, Ocean County, to greater than 200-feet-thick at Cape May City, Cape May County. In 1985 two wells were drilled 1.9 and 5.3 miles offshore to determine the extent of the Atlantic City 800-foot sand. Analysis of driller’s logs indicate that the Atlantic City 800-foot sand freshwater aquifer extends several miles offshore of the southern coast of New Jersey. Sediments at 5.3 miles offshore are roughly 130-feet thick!

Although the Atlantic City 800-foot

sand is the primary ground-water resource supplying southern New Jersey coastal communities, there is another aquifer in the Kirkwood geologic formation which also supplies the barrier beaches in southern Cape May County, as well as some areas further north: the Rio Grande water-bearing zone. The Rio Grande water-bearing zone is located within the confining clay layer overlying the Atlantic City 800-foot sand. As the name suggests, this zone is used by Rio Grande, in Cape May County, as its major public supply source.

The Rio Grande water-bearing zone is less frequently used as a water supply source outside of southern Cape May County.

This article along with the previous article looked at the major ground-water resources in Southern New Jersey. The Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer system, Atlantic City 800-foot sand, and Rio Grande water-bearing zone collectively provide tremendous water resources that support our local communities and ecosystems. Through sustainable public water supply policiesand conscientious use from everyone who relies upon these resources, South Jersey will have abundantground-water supply for ages to come.

Grow Your Own Vitamins: Blackberries byJenn Jennings

A

ntioxidant is a health buzzword that you probably hear every day; it’s associated with staying young, preventing cancer, and fighting the environmental damage of our modern life. You can buy them as supplements, put them in smoothies – but did you know you can grow them?

Hippocrates said, “Let thy food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food”, and he wasn’t wrong. The best way to maintain your health is being sure get the proper nutrients from your food first, before using supplements. The humble blackberry is one of those quiet powerhouses of nutrition and flavor, and they’re amazingly easy to grow. Walk into your Home Depot or Lowes, and you can walk out with plants that will give you years of nutrient-dense fruit that scavenges free radicals while pleasantly puckering your puss.

Exactly how healthy are they?

Well, the darker a fruit is on the

20

blue-black color spectrum is an indicator of how healthy it is for you, and blackberries are right at the top of the scale. Packed with anthocyanins, gallic acid, and quercetin, blackberries rank up there with blueberries and cranberries but are far easier to grow. They’re expensive to buy (which is why you’ll only see one or two garnishing a fruit tart or a cr?me brulee),but plant them, and you can have gourmet fruit through the whole summer (and sell the extra to a local restaurant…if you don’t eat them all yourself). Blackberries are perfect for adding to smoothies, pies, crumbles, and even pair well with meats like pork, so keep that in mind as you warm up your grill.

Aside from the nutritional perks for humans, blackberries benefit the environment. Pollinators love them for the abundance of flowers they provide, so you’ll be supporting local bee populations. The slightly moist areas in your yard, where other plants drown, are perfect for the blackberry.

Make sure the ground is not constant-

ly wet, though; blackberries are not a wetlands plant, but they can deal with moist soils with good drainage.

Thorns aren’t a problem, either.

Fortunately, there are varieties of blackberry that are thornless, such as Arapaho, Chester, and Doyle. Most blackberries can sprout from both seed and runners, so buying extra plants won’t be necessary. They aren’t invasive like honeysuckle or rugosa rose, and you can pull any volunteers you don’t want. Invest in

a few blackberry plants, and you’ll have plenty of delicious vitamins onthe-vine for you and your family for years to come.

Panelle: Italian Chick Pea & Veggie Fritters

by Nicole Gaffney, Food Network Star

Serves 8-10 as an appetizer

INGREDIENTS • • • • • • • •

1/2 small red onion, minced 1 carrot, grated 2 cups fresh spinach, finely chopped 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced 2 cups chickpea flour 3 cups water 1 tbsp kosher salt, plus more for sprinkling 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus plenty more for frying

INSTRUCTIONS Rub the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil. Combine the onion, carrot, spinach, rosemary, chickpea flour, water, salt, and olive oil in a medium saucepan and whisk until no lumps remain.

Place the pot over medium heat and continue to whisk until mixture starts to become thick. Swap out the whisk for a rubber spatula and continue stirring until the mixture is very thick, about 8-10 minutes.

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, then spread it out into an

even thickness. Work quickly, as the mixture will start to seize up and become hard to spread. Transfer the baking dish to the refrigerator until the mixture is totally cooled and solidified, about 2 hours.

Remove from refrigerator, invert it on to a cutting board and slice into whatever shape you’d like.

Heat abut 1/2-1 inch of olive oil in a large saute pan over medium high heat (cast iron works best). Place several pieces in the pan, but be careful not to overcrowd it. Fry until golden brown, then flip and cook until browned on the other side.

Remove the panelle and place them on paper towels to drain, then immediately sprinkle with salt while they’re still hot.

Repeat with the remaining panelle and serve immediately.

Paddle For A Cause Raises Almost $100K More than 100 Participate In The 9th annual Paddle For A Cause Presented by J&L Amish Depot

A

TLANTIC CITY, N.J. – The Dean Randazzo Cancer Foundation had its most successful event to date, raising nearly $100,000, at the 9th annual Paddle For a Cause presented by J&L Amish Depot on Saturday, June 11.

The foundation has collected a little more than $96,000 in donations with funds still being counted according to the board’s treasurer Kristi Collins of Somers Point. Each paddler was required to raise $200 to participate in the event.

“It was truly an amazing day at the Golden Nugget. I am very proud to be part of the single biggest fundraising event in the history of the Dean Randazzo Cancer foundation. I am so proud of hard work and dedication that so many of the volunteers have done for the foundation,” said Past President and Race Director Paul Giunta of Somers Point. “The wind made for some challenging conditions but

overall everyone was safe and we raised a lot of funds that will benefit people with cancer.”

Jonathan Baker of Egg Harbor Township was the top fundraiser, bringing in more than $9,000 while Karen Grant of Margate helped raise just more than $8,000 to be the second-place finisher.

Mike Hutchings of Mount Kisco, New York, raised the third most with $7,700.

Ryan Matthews of Asbury Park, New Jersey was the first overall finisher with a time of 4:07:25 and won the prone division. QuintinChiapperino, 19, of Saint Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands won the 22.5-mile standup paddleboard race and took second place overall with a time of 4:07:46. Chiapperino beat out three-time winner Sven Peltonen of Atlantic City by a mere seven seconds and Matthews finished 9:30 ahead of last year’s prone winner, Brian Pasternak of Ocean City.

Second-place standup paddleboard finisher Sven Peltonen of Atlantic City, on left, congratulates QuintinChiapperino, 19, of Saint Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands on his win in the 22.5-mile Paddle For A Cause presented by J&L Amish Depot.

Winners in the 22.5-mile race were presented prize money provided by J&L Amish Depot at the awards ceremony and after party; $1,000 for first, $500 for sec-

ond and $250 for third in three different divisions; Men’s and Women’s 14’ Stand Up Paddle and Unlimited Prone Paddle.

↘Continued from Page 22 make a trade or two to move up or maybe acquire a veteran to help the current roster? That remains to be seen, but his philosophy is to build through the draft. He has done an excellent job in recent drafts with a number of top prospects waiting their turn to get a chance with the big club. Defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere emerged last season as one of the better offensive defenseman in the NHL. The Flyers have several unrestricted free agents this summer.

They include forwards Sam Gagne, Ryan White. Also defenseman EvgenyMedvedev along with goaltender Ray Emery are free agents as well. The club has also several key restricted free agents.

FowardBraydenSchenn tops that list. Others include defenseman RadkoGudas, defenseman Brandon Manning and forwards Nick Cousins and Jordan Weal.

What the club decides to do with their free agents remains to be seen but they have several highly regarded prospects waiting in the wings that have the potential to have a great impact on this club going forward. They include defensemen Ivan Provorov, Sam

JUNE 16 - 29 , 2016

Morin, and Travis Sanheim. Forward Travis Konecny is a scorer who will help out the Flyers in the near future. The goaltending situation remains to be seen.

Steve Mason was the number one goaltender for most of last year however Michal Neuvirth kept the Flyers alive in the 1st round playoff series against the Washington Capitals.

I think they should try and trade for a forward with some skill and that can put the puck in the net.

One of the problems last year with the Flyers is once their top line was shut down by the opposing team, they had problems scoring.

The club needs more scoring from their 2 nd and 3 rd lines. The free agent class doesn’t look too enticing so I think they should be able to pull off a trade. I also think they should trade one of their defensemen so they can free up some cap space and to let one or more of the prospects show that they belong in the NHL. It should be an interesting off season for the Flyers. This team is young, has plenty of room to grow and the future is bright with all the talent waiting in the wings.

Ed Snider has hired the right men to get this team back to Stanley Cup contention in the near future.

Margate Fishing Report

by Robin Scott

W

4 Hour Back Bay Fishing Sailing Two Trips Everyday 8am and 1pm Sailing from Somers Point Municipal Pier, Higbee Ave & The Bay, Somers Point

armer water temperatures and milder days brought out those anglers who time their trips to coincide with optimum conditions. Bill Mendenhall, Skip Van Lew, and Kevin Smith of the Downingtown, PA area, have fished Margate for most of their lives. Their excursion this week yielded an eighteen and a twenty-inch flounder and a couple of sizable blues. Likewise, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Team Burkey,â&#x20AC;? as they are known in these parts, drove over from Devon, Pa for a calm bug-free day on the Margate Bay to nail three fat, overnineteen-inch summer flounder and

two blues. Early season fl ounder fi shing gets exciting when a few blues are thrown into the mix, since they often bite the entire bottom half off the flounder while the angler is reeling it in. This occurred to two separate groups. Although the angler should throw the fish back in, since its length would have to be estimated, some brazen sorts bring them back to the dock for the novelty of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;half-moonâ&#x20AC;? flounder picture before returning them to the bay.

Happens every year around this time.

In fact, in the past few years, the largest blue fish caught during the time of the Ladies Invitational Bluefish Tournament has been caught in the bay behind Margate.

A Bar Is A Home Father's Day Tribute

by Katie Eaton

I

t smells like cigarette smoke and beer.

I’m used to it though.

The dark green carpet is the grass I used to run around on, and the booths and stools were my Jungle Gym. I was raised in the bar where my dad worked as a bartender.

As I got older, this bar became more than just the place where my dad worked. After my parents separated, when I was eight,it was where I was dropped off for weekends with my dad. When I was nineteen, I started working there.

The bar was my favorite place when my parents were still together. I could go in to eat with my dad while he worked. I would only eat spaghetti, which wasn’t on the menu, but I was Jack Eaton’s daughter so the chef made it for me anyway.

People I hadn’t even met knew who I was, because of my dad. They would tell me how much they loved him.

While other kids my age were on play dates, I was sitting at the bar talking to its colorful patrons.

There was Chuck, who nicknamed me “Trouble,” and still calls me that to this day.

There was the late “Pistachio Bob,” who always brought me a giant bag of pistachios and would tell my dad, “Give these to my girl.” The list goes on.

When my parents separated,everything changed. The bar became the symbolic halfway point between my parents.

I would come in every Friday, so I could go to my dad’s house for the weekend.

Then, when I was a sophomore in high school, my dad was fired. I didn’t go in for a few years after that.

My absence wasn’t intentional. I just didn’t have a reason to go back in, until I needed a new job.

I was hired on the spot.

Ironically, it looked exactly the same way I remembered it, ugly green carpet and all.

I realized that the bar had stayed frozen in time.

The staff had stayed the same, most of them had been there for decades. It was comforting starting a new job with something familiar.

Customers would learn my name and then proceed to tell me their favorite memory of my father. It was like learning about another person entirely, but then I would think to myself, “Yeah, that sounds like something he would do.”

As time progressed, I realized this bar went through another life phase. It wasn’t the place of my childhood. My dad no longer worked there, and my mother hadn’t been in the bar for fifteen years.

All it was now was just another job, until I quit for a different one.

I followed in his footsteps, becoming a bartender at a pub near his house. To this day, I still get asked, “How’s your dad?”

I guess I’ll always be known as Jack Eaton’s daughter, which isn’t such a bad thing.

Katie Eaton lives in Galloway and is a liberal arts major at Atlantic Cape Community College
