–Photo by Jennifer Peacock Vesper, the juvenile Kemp’s Ridley turtle, was released at Point Pleasant Beach near Water Street July 30. By Jennifer Peacock POINT PLEASANT BEACH – The crowd gathered at the ocean near Water Street drew attention from walkers on the boardwalk. “Excuse me, miss. What is happening down there?” a man,
walking with his wife on the boardwalk, stopped to ask. “They’re releasing a rehabbed sea turtle today. You are welcome to come watch if you’d like.” “Oh, interesting,” he said. He and his wife kept walking.
It’s a little before 7:30 a.m. July 30. At least 200 people were waiting to see Vesper, the 5-pound juvenile Kemp’s Ridley - the most endangered of all sea turtles - be released (Sea Turtle - See Page )
By Bob Vosseller LACEY – You could say that this was a case of a customer’s guilt catching up to them or perhaps more correctly, it had ‘ketchup’ to them. That’s what happened at the Perkins restaurant in Lacey Township when a customer admitted that they had removed a bottle of ketchup from the restaurant several weeks earlier. The customer passed muster however and left an unidentified note recently explaining that they felt the ketchup bottle theft had left them with a bad taste of karma. Since the time they seized the bottle of Heinz ketchup, someone had struck their car causing damage and that was just the beginning of other bad occurrences. In an effort to break the curse of bad karma, the customer decided to not only leave an anonymous note fessing up to what they had done but they also left two brand new bottles of ketchup apparently purchased from a local Walmart (as a receipt was also left behind) to make up for their crime. While the reason given for the ketchup swipe was described as an act of being “risky” by the person who described themselves as a “square” they did sign the note (Ketchup’s - See Page 5 )
