‘Striper Stripper’ Never Let Go

To the Editor: What can I say about our neighbor Jan’s son Rudy? He is the most determined, passionate and motivated fisherman I have ever met. I have often wondered why he isn’t a commercial fisherman. You can set your watch by what time his boat will pull away from his dock. Or can you?

On a Saturday morning last month his routine was anything but routine. What happened next was told to us by him when he returned home from striper fishing.

It started out as an ordinary Saturday morning. Rudy was up at 5 a.m. to be ready and on the water by 5:30 a.m. He was making his coffee, packing up his gear, etc. As he sat on the couch to put on his boots, he didn’t realize that his remote control for his boatlift was in his coat pocket underneath him. This activated the boatlift, which lowered the boat into the water unbeknownst to him.

As he put his left boot on, he glanced out the window, and just at that moment his boat floated by. He jumped up and ran out with one boot on and one boot off. His boat was now floating down the middle of the lagoon unmanned. He didn’t know what to do next. Of course, no one was around at that time of the morning, so he did what any avid fisherman would do. He stripped down and jumped into the lagoon in his boxers and now goes by the name of “The Striper Stripper.” You just can’t make this stuff up!

Although it was an April morning, there was ice on the bow as he swam to and boarded his boat. He proceeded to finish getting ready.

He got redressed and left for a day of fishing.

Rudy’s boat’s name is Renewal. I’m sure Continued on Page 10

To the Editor: Thank you, Rebecca (Gee), for a lovely, well-written column on the Shack (“Let It Be: Shack Deserves Death With Dignity,” 5/9).

Let’s not lose sight of what it means to so many other people who would be dismayed by its demise.

My family for the past 45 years would so miss the emotional rise in their hearts as they spot the first thing that says “we are on vacation.” Since my children were tots they had one mantra on the Parkway: “When will we see the Shack?” Now their children have the same question.

You know, the Long Beach Island Historical Association is in the process of restoring the old Fisherman’s Cottage, and it is looking really good – old and new mixed together to keep our history alive. Our home was built in 1881. How would it be if someone hadn’t cared enough? Indeed, the sea could reclaim all of this beautiful island, but we do the best we can to hold on.

I’m sorry you threw the beautiful purple shell back into the ocean. I would have kept it in a special place in my home as my solid reminder of a lovely Nana, but therein “lies the rub,” the difference of opinion. Yes, I believe we should welcome the new landowner’s offer to rebuild using what’s left of the Shack with some new woods and say “thank you so much for caring enough to restore and renew our beloved Shack.”

Oh, by the way, Joan Rivers doesn’t look all that bad if you view her with a squint! And she certainly has “renewed and rebuilt” herself into so many new careers!

Pat Valva Beach Haven

Meaningful Message To the Editor: The story from Rebecca Gee regarding the Shack was beautifully written and full of sentiment (“Let It Be: Shack Deserves Death With Dignity,” 5/9). The words she used to express her feelings definitely came right from her heart.

There comes a time in all of our lives when someone or something we love must leave us to be remembered and live in our hearts forever … and so it is with the Shack.

Thank you again, Ms. Gee, for putting your words into such a tender yet meaningful message.

Mapping U.S. Government Bodies No Easy Task

By LARRY SAVADOVE ow that the not-so-secret scandal of the Secret Service has been chopped up and picked over in the media maw – my favorite bit being an interview with the $800-a-night woman herself when she said, in effect, “Hey, a deal’s a deal” – we face the grim prospect of a never-ending parade of newly minted scandals, such as Mitt Romney cutting a fellow’s hair in junior high and President Obama pushing a girl in a crowd.

But during the course of the Great Pillow Talk Scare, I read that the investigation was being handled by the SS’s Office of Professional Responsibilities. I’d never heard of this office, and it set me wondering about the

N

structures of some of our government bodies.

For example, we call it the Secret Service, but its full name is the Secret Service Bureau – just like the Federal Bureau of Investigations.

The Secret Service is not part of the FBI. Neither is it part of the CIA, which is not a bureau but an agency. The FBI and CIA both deal with crime, the former with domestic affairs and the latter with foreign, which does make for territorial confusion from time to time. To further complicate things, there also exists a National Central Bureau, which takes parts of its name from both but is solely concerned with our liaison with Interpol.

In addition, each of the armed forces has its own crime prevention and detection branch

New York’s Country Roads, Take Me Home ...

By DENNIS J. CARROLL t is late spring, another opportunity to drive upstate. Although I am now in my 60s, it doesn’t really matter. Once on these roads, up into the Gunks, the Poconos, Delaware Palisades and the Catskills, past the lakes, ponds and streams, I am a boy again. Maybe it’s the water rushing over the polished boulders in the Delaware, Neversink or Lackawaxen, or the filled and flowing water in the runoff ditches along the county roads. I cannot say, but the whole experience is an embrace with the past.

Through the years, a lot of these trips have been made with Alan, a good friend of mine with whom I share much in common.

We each have been married to one woman for more than 30 years; we are retired, both

I

Army veterans, grandfathers and about the same age. Our trips call to mind the words of Thomas Wolfe and the difficulty of returning “back home to one’s family, back home to one’s childhood, back home to the father one has lost, back home to romantic love, to a young man’s dreams of glory and of fame, back home … to lyricism, singing just for singing’s sake, back home to aestheticism … back home to the escapes of Time and Memory.” Still, our conversations while driving have a way of disproving Wolfe’s words.

New York state figures largely in both our lives. I have been up in these parts, Sul-

livan County, since 1948 as a child and a teenager, and he as an accountant for the federal Department of the Interior for most of his professional life, auditing dairy farms in various parts of the area. A trip to the country is a welcome treat for us, and our conversations as we drive along play well against places such as Orange, Sullivan, Pike and Wayne counties.

Alan and I are insatiable readers, ad hoc sociologists, collectors of old expressions, words, phrases, places – on the blink, cocktails, highballs, Horn & Hardart, Tad’s Steak House, Tie City and the unique sound a Zippo lighter makes come to mind – and customs. While we are both philosophical and generally see both sides of an issue, he Continued on Page 12

such as portrayed in TV’s popular “NCIS,” the Naval Criminal Investigative Service.

Who or what does the Secret Service belong to? It belongs to the Treasury, the department that deals with whatever financial matters the Federal Reserve doesn’t.

This makes sense only when you understand that the SS was originally formed to protect the nation’s currency. In our formative days, counterfeiting was a big problem. Banks issued their own notes, foreign currency was in circulation, and many businessmen preferred to deal only in gold.

There wasn’t an income tax to help fund the government then, but there were other taxes, and although this was taxation with representation, there were a lot of dodgers, notably the folks who made moonshine in the mountains. It took a small army, launched by our first president, to root them out, and some of the revenuers stayed around to help guard the prez. Others were recruited to go after some other miscreants, and Treasury called that posse the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. The Secret Service still tracks down counterfeiters as well as guarding the prez. Most of the dealers in alcohol, tobacco and firearms pay their proper taxes now, so presumably ATF is free for other assignments.

The FBI belongs to the Justice Department, while the CIA apparently belongs to no one, nor do other agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency, but their chiefs can sit in on cabinet meetings, perhaps next to the head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which belongs to the Department of Commerce.

Apps Fill in the Gaps, However ...

By ANTHONY DiSIPIO he morning Philadelphia paper the other day had a short article about “dog apps.” It seems there are software “applications” available for tech devices that are geared toward caring for man’s best friend. Now, that doesn’t mean Fido will be able to use them on your computer or “smart” phone (isn’t that Orwellian?). It means we owners can use them to help care for our best friends, using an app called Pet Vet. There is also an app called Dog-A-Like that can use a photo of you and then match the photo of you with a dog available for adoption that looks like you. I kid you not.

There seem to be apps for everything these days. Last Sunday I came back from walking the dogs at 5:30 a.m., poured a cup of coffee, turned on the floor light on the porch and opened up the Inquirer that my trusty delivery person threw in the driveway while we were walking. There, below the fold (as they say in the newspaper business), was the latest blow to those of us who still adore reading the written word on paper: The Inquirer’s parent company was offering “a deeply discounted Android tablet with apps for a low, low price.” Can’t be any lower than the 5 cents I paid for the Inquirer and Daily News when I fell in love with newspapers years ago! And all week in the “A” section was a full-page ad touting the “fully loaded, Android tablet” as the “gateway to the next generation of news.”

What was wrong with the old gateway? Is there a better way to spend Sunday morning than getting ink all over your fingers as you read all about current events, entertainment, sports – whatever your pleasure – with an accompanying cup of coffee? How will my deliveryman get this app into the driveway?

And what is this app that has taken on such importance in this brave new world of 2012?

As with so many of the technological advances that have happened recently, I went to my tech expert: my son. Are you as amazed as I am at how this generation seems to know about all this tech stuff? I mean without even looking at it. Maybe it’s the water they constantly drink. Listen, I can get on the Internet, check my e-mail and use Office for word-processing and spreadsheets.

Heck, I opened the first computer lab in 1989 at the school where I worked. I used grading programs at school before I retired. I had a Commodore Pet and an Apple IIe. But

T

at some point, this tech stuff seems to have whizzed by me. So I defer to my son, whom I have invested in by paying his tuition. And he is a computer science major.

“Dad: apps are software programs that are designed to help the user do specific things.” How about that for a good use of tuition money! He went on to tell me in a voice filled with technological awe about a bank that has an app that lets you take a picture of a check and deposit it over your cell phone line. (Don’t get me started on cell phones). My response was “that’s why I go to the bank.” He also told me about an app that allows you to use your phone to pay for purchases at stores that accept this bank’s app. My response was that’s why I always have cash in my pocket. Seems there was a generational disconnect there. But he got me thinking: Why aren’t there more apps that might help my generation – boomer apps (not to be confused with boomer abs, which are being addressed by every infomercial on TV at 5 a.m.)? Think of the possibilities.

There could be the “where did I put my keys?” app, the “why did I walk in this room again?” app, “the please help my aching _____ (fill in the blank where your pain is)” app, the “can you turn up the TV” app for those of us in need of hearing assistance but not equipped to afford it (or too vain to use it), the “let’s make this printing larger because I can’t really make out the words” app, the “I need some help making sure my retirement savings don’t evaporate” app, the “I don’t want to get up and go to the bathroom in the middle of the night again” app, the “what happened to peace, love and music” app, the “how come all of my pants seem to be getting tighter” app. The possibilities are endless. Boomer apps might be the innovation that turns around the economy.

But please, save the newspaper. It just doesn’t seem that using a tablet and an app can bring me the same pleasure as trying to fold back the morning paper so I can read the story “continued on page 14,” get the noise just right as I shake the paper to fold it in half, and make notes in the margin as I try to unjumble the jumble and do the crossword puzzle as I drink my morning coffee. Some things are just right the way they are.

Y Anthony DiSipio lives in Beach Haven Park and recalls boomer memories in his book When I’m 64.

“Dad: apps are software programs that are designed to help the user do specific things.”

Continued from Page 6 So, then, does an administration outrank an authority or an agency outrank a bureau, like the Army’s division into corps, division, brigade, regiment, battalion, company, platoon, squad, down to dogface? But every dogface knows exactly all of the units he belongs to, while other government apparatchiks aren’t even aware most of the others exist and rarely talk to them anyhow. This was why the Department of Homeland Security was formed.

Now the CIA, FBI, SS and ATF just have to call there to be connected.

Right. And somebody will eventually tell the president, as soon as they can squeeze past those guys in the black suits with wires coming out of their ears.

Then there are more civilian confusions such as the FHA, which can mean the Federal Housing Authority or the Federal Housing Administration, both of which have to do

with mortgages, but the latter is the only arm (branch? division? section? drawer? pocket?) of the federal government that actually pays for itself with no help from public funds – a.k.a. taxpayers’ money – which gives it clear authority over the former for my money.

But what about commissions (Federal Communications, Trade, Securities and Exchange), or services (Internal Revenue, Fish and Wildlife, Marine Fisheries), or systems (Federal Reserve, U.S. Postal Service)? And why does Communications get a commission and Aviation an administration? And why isn’t the National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention part of the National Institutes of Health? Or the Office of Management and Budget partnered with the Office of Government Accountability?

As for the occasional board (National Safety Transportation), division (Anti-Trust), foundation (National Science), and even corporation (Federal Deposit Insurance), my favorite has always been the Peace Corps. Y

Credit Deserved To the Editor: The political vitriol spewing from all sides is becoming very tiresome, particularly when one speaks without knowing the facts.

I refer to the recent open letter to Sen. Robert Menendez by William H. Rickards regarding the hunt that led to the killing of Osama bin Laden (“It’s Insulting,” 5/9).

This letter excoriates President Obama for doing “nothing more than nod his head to release the congressional restriction.” May I suggest to Mr. Rickards that he has only to read the May 7 issue of Time, “The Last Days of Osama bin Laden,” to learn how President Obama did much more than just “nod his head.”

There are two well-researched and compelling articles regarding this subject – a must read for all Americans. One of the articles, “How It Went Down,” was written by Graham Allison. Allison served as special adviser to the secretary of defense under President Reagan and as assistant secretary of defense for policy and plans under President Clinton.

He was twice awarded the Department of Defense’s highest civilian award, the Distinguished Public Service Medal, by Secretary Casper Weinberger and by Secretary William Perry. He served as a member of the Defense Policy Board for Secretaries Weinberger, Carlucci, Cheney, Aspin, Perry and Cohen. It would be safe to presume that Allison is more than qualified to present an unbiased picture of the events in this story.

In the article, Allison lays out how the decision was carefully and thoughtfully made by our commander-in-chief. There may be other issues where Mr. Rickards may, respectfully, criticize our president. However, in this case, let’s give President Obama his due.

Put another way, mission accomplished, Mr. President!

To the Editor: I thought I’d heard and seen everything when it came to skyrocketing property taxes in Barnegat. We saw our own taxes increase by 60 percent in just five years caused by a botched reassessment at the height of the real estate bubble in 2007, an illegal selective partial assessment of a flat 10 percent reduction to just four developments in 2010, a hybrid reassessment in 2011 and a Barnegat school board that can’t put the lid on overspending.

The school board’s latest caper was running an ad disguised as a news piece paid for with our tax dollars, which would have been better served and earmarked to improving subject matter and teaching techniques for our children. The ad inferred that the board was working feverishly to return money to the taxpayer. There is nothing farther from the truth.

The fact is last year alone the board raised Continued on Page 12

He fished near Island Beach State Park and had a great day out. He had three – oh yeah, make that four – keepers. (The fourth keeper was his boat, if you get my drift!)

Continued from Page 6 is more tolerant, while I belong more to the “my way or the highway” school of thought.

Inspired by the Delaware River and the railroad tracks of the Erie, later the ErieLackawanna, Conrail and now the Norfolk Southern railroads, the Hawkes Nest, towns, villages and hamlets such as Deerpark, Glen Spey, Barryville, Yulan, Lackawaxen, Shohola, Parkers Glen, Pond Eddy, Mill Rift and the city of Port Jervis, we review history, architecture, economics, our parents, their worlds, how we were brought up in them and the society we grew up in.

He tells me about filing his travel vouchers for his expense account and how the seasoned bookkeeper wouldn’t accept a deviation from her Rand McNally Atlasprescribed routes for the auditing teams.

Once when he had to take a detour because of an automobile wreck blocking the road and increased the number of miles he had to claim, “we don’t pay for accidents” was the response of the woman who worked in a darkened office, smoked cigarettes, approved travel vouchers and made things run. She was an unmarried Irish-American woman immune to charm, never attended social functions, a woman of the times named Eleanor, who kept her own counsel and the world at bay.

On another occasion, he picked up a young couple hitchhiking, which could have been a fatal mistake. This modern Bonnie and Clyde team had robbed a jewelry store in a local city earlier that day. He realized his near miss with fate when reading the paper the next day. Then there was the old

mechanic in Pleasant Valley in Dutchess County who trusted him on a personal check for the price of a car radiator.

Sprinkled within our conversations are historical snowstorms and blizzards, and the hurricanes of 1955 when Connie and Diane both hit the area in August. We remembered the gray Plymouth Furys the state police drove in the ’50s, complete with tail fins, and how years before, they would patrol on horseback between places like Port Jervis and Narrowsburg. The state troopers would stop by local post offices to have their travel papers stamped as proof of patrol.

Milk trains and Esso stations are gone, and Costa Soda, Dolly Madison Ice Cream and Crowley’s milk, for the most part, are things of the past. The Red Apple Rest along old Route 17 around Tuxedo is now closed, and Shortline buses no longer wend their way through mountain passes. The sounds of diesel horns echo through the Delaware Valley where the Lenni-Lenape (Delaware) were ousted by land speculators in the early 18th century.

As we pass an advertised topless bar somewhere between Monticello and Liberty, we discuss how Bridget Bardot and Jane Mansfield were the raciest thing during the ’50s in the summer, when two-piece bathing suits were starting to appear up on Washington, White and Highland lakes.

So for us, connecting with the past is just a car ride away, and even if we “can’t go home again,” the journey itself is fine, just fine with me.

Continued from Page 10 taxes on our three-bedroom/two-bath home by $765, representing a 9 percent increase from the previous year. This ad approved by the board was riddled with deception and misinformation. It failed to disclose: 1. Barnegat taxpayers paid for the ad; 2. the actual raw numbers of the current budget; 3. how much of the budget is actually dedicated to the classroom vs. administrative and employee salaries, benefits and perks vs. free lunch program, vs. free busing, free day care, etc.; 4. where the $3 million of excess surplus is located in the budget.

Currently, the board has nearly $3 million of tax money in excess surplus. This represents 7 percent of its current budget and more than twice that recommended by the N.J. Department of Education. If just half of that excess surplus was returned to the public, a home in Barnegat assessed at $260,000 could expect $166 in addition to the meager $52 promised in the board’s ad, totaling $218.

When I attempted to bring this to the attention of the board at its last meeting on April 24, I found myself rudely interrupted several times by board members Lisa Becker and Lauren Sarno and scolded for breaching their self-imposed five-minute limit, stifling public participation and denying me the opportunity to complete my presentation. To add insult to injury, I was the only member from the public who asked to be heard.

The board could learn a lesson or two from our township committee. Despite many differences I may have had with the committee, I have never been treated poorly. Neither have other people. We have been allowed to participate in the democratic process, ensuring our right to free speech.

Perhaps the board should take advantage of enrolling its members in one of the civics classes offered at the middle school. Please include counsel and the superintendent as well. They might want to pay special attention to topics on free speech, nepotism and public disclosure.

To the Editor: The month of March began with the 14th annual Curves Food Drive. The Barnegat/ Ocean Curves continued the food drive with a Zumba “Gold” Fundraiser in April at the Barnegat firehouse. This was an effort to meet the Feinstein Challenge.

What is the Feinstein Challenge? Alan Feinstein, founder of the Feinstein Foundation, will match what was collected for the challenge from March 1 to April 30.

Cash and checks totaled $2,615. Food items at $1 per item or per pound raised $5,633. The total for both was $8,248. Mr. Feinstein will match the $8,248, and the Barnegat Food Bank will have an extra $16,496 in food available to those in need from Barnegat.

Walters Lawsuit Prompts Barnegat to Rezone Area A

Jack Reynolds

Signs of Summer Slowing Down for Tons of Tourists BRAKE DANCE: Workers from the Ocean County road department change speed signs on Long Beach Boulevard in Long Beach Township. The changing of the speed signs is the first hint the summer season is approaching fast.

n area in the Ocean Acres section of Barnegat Township, which was originally meant to be free from development, could be the site of 135 new homes.

The township committee last week adopted an ordinance that would redesignate 135 lots currently located in a 38-acre residential conservation zone (RCV). The new area would be known as an overlay zone, according to Township Administrator David Breeden.

He said that in 2004, Barnegat Township adopted an ordinance that divided the Ocean Acres section into two zones: a residential conservation zone (RCV), where building is prohibited, and a residential highland zone (RHZ), where development is allowed only on lots that exceed 10,000 square feet.

At the time, the new conservation zone decreased the number of buildable lots from 2,000 to 1,250. He said the impetus for the zone changes was to protect a local population of northern pine snakes and other endangered species.

After the ordinance was passed, Breeden said the Walters Group objected and entered into an agreement with the Pinelands Commission and the township to allow an additional impact study of a 135-lot portion of the conservation zone.

In October 2009, the commission ruled that the 135 lots covering 38 acres did not constitute a threat to the pine snake. As a result, Walters looked to erect single-family homes in the overlay zone, which is located in an area bordered by Nautilus Drive, Avalon Avenue, Mutineer Drive and Viking Drive.

However, the committee then questioned the validity of the study and decided that the area should remain undeveloped. Walters then filed suit against the township.

Mayor Al Cirulli, Deputy Mayor Albert Bille

Conserve Wildlife Foundation’s Project on Great Bay Boulevard

and Committeeman Jeff Melchiondo voted for the ordinance, while Committeeman Len Morano voted against it. Because of potential real estate interests, Committeeman Martin Lisella abstained.

Cirulli said that while he felt uncomfortable about new development, the township “did not have much choice.”

“This has been going in and out of the courts for years,” he said. “This was probably the best way we could reach a compromise.”

The mayor said that if the township won the lawsuit, it would have to reimburse Walters $200,000, based on the original 2004 agreement.

“It’s going to be very hard to go back to the taxpayers and say here’s $200,000, and homes might still be built there anyway,” said Bille.

“I am opposed to any new development,” said Morano. “I’ve been saying for years that we needed a moratorium on all new development.

I suppose we’re in a Catch-22 situation, but maybe we should have used open space money to preserve part of that area. Now we’re going to have 135 new families and more children and more services. We’re having a hard time handling what we have now.”

Carleton Montgomery, executive director of the Pinelands Preservation Alliance, said the township committee “caved to developers.”

“The committee had already determined by its prior vote that the rezoning is not in the best interests of the township,” he said. “This was the correct decision. There is no basis under the municipal land use law to change the zoning now, and the very basis to maintain the current zoning. Even if the committee believed the pine snakes that lived there were so cooperative as to simply leave when the developer came back to look for them again, this land has great natural resource value. Keeping this land in conservation protects water quality and natural habitats, and is consistent with the master plan.”

Joseph DelDuca, Walters Development attorney and partner, was unavailable for comment.

Nuclear Power Plant Employees Help Save Terrapins

By RICK MELLERUP t wasn’t just another day at the office last Thursday for a dozen or so employees of the Exelon Corp.’s Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station.

Instead of sitting in climate-controlled comfort helping to maintain the nation’s oldest nuclear power plant, they were outside on a humid day, battling what seemed to be an entire air force of gnats while digging ditches along both sides of a 500-foot stretch of Little Egg Harbor Township’s Great Bay Boulevard, a.k.a. Seven Bridges Road. They were assisting Ben Wurst, the habitat program manager of the Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey, in installing the latest generation of barricades as part of that organization’s Great Bay Terrapin Project.

Wurst knew the Oyster Creek workers would be available to help because the Exelon Corp. has a long history of attempting to be a good neighbor in Ocean County. Its 700 workers at the plant donated $285,000 to the Ocean County United Way in 2010, $8,500 to the Lanoka Harbor EMS for an oxygen cascade system, $10,000 to Lacey Township schools

ehiring another police officer laid off in the 2010 downsizing of 11 officers is another sign of an improving economic climate in Little Egg Harbor Township, said Chief Financial Officer Garrett Loesch.

At the May 10 meeting, the mayor and committee rehired Kristen Story as a full-time police officer. Police Chief Richard Buzby said the department had suffered a setback when Story was let go as she had “performed her duties over and above” what was required of her.

Story is also trained in domestic violence intervention and volunteered with the township’s youth summer programs. Story was working for the Atlantic County Sheriff’s Office during her absence from the police department.

The township was also able to rehire Maureen Waters to her civil service position as a clerk in police records, and four part-time dispatchers were hired on a per-diem basis.

pproximately 1.5 million tons of plastic are used worldwide each year to manufacture single-use water bottles, eight out of 10 of which wind up in a landfill or the ocean. It's simple, and saves money, to combat this issue: Say no to plastic and fill up a reusable bottle instead.

Local nonprofit organization Alliance for a Living Ocean, Long Beach Township and Barnegat Light are encouraging local residents and vacationers to do just that at various hydration stations – tankless units that provide free, cold, filtered water to anyone with an reusable receptacle, such as those made by SIGG, Nalgene and Klean Kanteen – being installed in those two municipalities.

“The hydration stations campaign was created to help eliminate single-use plastic water bottles,” ALO Executive Director Chris Huch explained. “Plastics are a huge concern in the marine environment, and bottled water is one of the biggest contributors of waste plastic to our oceans. By creating hydration stations, citizens can fill up reusable water bottles and reduce the use of plastics.”

The hydration units were made possible through an anonymous donation of $15,000 to ALO two years ago, and the organization always makes a point to sincerely thank the donor for his or her generosity in relation to this environmental effort. The water at each system, which cost about $500, is turned on at the start of the summer and typically left on through the 18 Mile Run, in early October.

Long Beach Township’s Public Works Department installed three stations last year – and is currently in the process of reinstalling them – at the 68th Street beach entrance behind the municipal complex in Brant Beach; at Bayview Park, also in Brant Beach; and at the end of Long Beach Boulevard in Holgate, in the parking lot near the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge.

“In addition, ALO will be providing the township with new hydration stations for the tennis courts in Loveladies,” said Huch, and Barnegat Light has agreed to place a unit at the municipal boat ramp.

The hydration station locations will all be documented on campaign partner ReClam the Bay's clam trail map, which is currently in production.

New Trustees Keep Cemetery Above Ground

N

athanial Sooy, former trustee president and administrator of the Greenwood Cemetery Old Home Society in Tuckerton, resigned from office during the May 5 trustee meeting.

“After two decades of service to the residents, this is my last meeting of the Old Home Society. I want to thank the many friends I’ve made and remember the relationships I’ve had with the many families through their painful times. My thoughts and prayers are with you,” said Sooy.

Sooy and other members of his family stepped down as trustees after receiving complaints about the degenerating appearance of the cemetery and lack of response to these complaints. At the last meeting of the board in March, Sooy contended that he was unable to keep the grounds up to snuff because he was not getting paid.

The next job for the board is to modernize the filing system and look for volunteers to help scan old documents into computer files.

Changes in the economy meant smaller dividends from the perpetual care trust fund, said Sooy, and changes in burial practices, with fewer burial plots being sold because cremation was now a viable option for Catholics, contributed to his “perfect storm” at the cemetery.

Sooy claimed he was owed approximately $70,000 in back salary from his $34,000-a-year position as Greenwood’s caretaker. At the March meeting, he had proposed taking 10 burial plots worth $6,000 as partial compensation but has since changed his mind.

At the May 5 meeting, the new trustee board consisting of President Chris Mathis, Vice President Carl Dillon, Treasurer Budd Cramner, Secretary the Rev. Grant Buttermore of the First United Methodist Church of Tuckerton, and Trustees Bill Wright, Alvin Mathis, Ed Jacondin, Bruce Rutherford and Earl Sutton Sr. did not discuss compensation for Sooy.

The trustees had been busy since their last meeting. Buttermore read the minutes of the closed meeting in which they discussed grass cutting and tree trimming to make the cemetery more presentable. The board had a working balance of $947 in the treasury after payments of $164 to Verizon and $1,023 in attorney’s fees to research the cemetery’s status. The board is considering changing the phone service to save money.

The trust fund is intact, but the board is looking into changing the fund to another bank.

“We’re not pleased with the way it is being handled as it’s not producing enough revenue,” said Sutton. The board is researching other trust fund companies and will make a decision by the July meeting. The board did ask if it could be self-administered by its attorney and found it could be, but the attorney declined.

The next job for the board is to modernize the filing system and look for volunteers to help scan old documents into computer files.

Jennifer Fiorucci said she would organize volunteers and offered her e-mail, vjbutterflys@ verizon.net, and phone number, 609-709-5532.

They planned another volunteer day for May 12 when trees and shrubs that encroach on roadways and other gravesites would be cut down.

wo roads and a bulkhead will be getting makeovers, according to contracts awarded by the Beach Haven Borough Council Monday night.

Borough Manager Richard Crane said Grande Brothers of Toms River will be replacing the bulkhead at the end of Taylor Avenue at a cost of $242,420. Crane said Grande was the lowest bidder of seven companies that submitted proposals for the work.

He said the borough received 11 bids for road improvement work for portions of Berkeley Avenue and Fifth Street. The lowest bid was from Earle Asphalt of Farmingdale, which was awarded the contract for $239,413.

“Both projects came below the estimates of our borough engineer and well within the budget,” said the manager. “This is still a good time to take advantage of very competitive prices for much-needed work.”

Crane added that the state Department of Transportation would reimburse the borough approximately $200,000 for the road project.

“We get these DOT grants every year,” he said. “We are responsible for engineering and inspection costs.” —E.E.

he Ocean County Health Department is offering â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and highly recommending â&#x20AC;&#x201C; shingles vaccinations to its senior citizens.

Beach Havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Virginia Gottshall is quick to second the motion. The octogenarian suffered an attack of shingles a couple of decades ago and remembers it all too well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was sort of like having poison ivy,â&#x20AC;? she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;painful and very itchy. I had it right around the waistline, it was very annoying. It lasted several weeks. It would be very worthwhile to get the vaccine.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The older a person is, the more severe the effects of shingles typically are,â&#x20AC;? said the health departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Public Health Coordinator Daniel E. Regenye, â&#x20AC;&#x153;so all adults 60 years of age or older should get the vaccine.â&#x20AC;?

Shingles is caused by a virus, varicella zoster, which seems to carry a double-edged sword.

The virus causes chickenpox in children, hides in the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nerve roots for decades, and often re-emerges in older adults to produce shingles.

Gottshall was actually rather lucky. She remembers the itch associated with the skin rash of shingles more than the pain. The disease, however, can be very painful â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as the health department puts it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;severe.â&#x20AC;? Indeed, about one in ďŹ ve people afďŹ&#x201A;icted with shingles report severe pain, sometimes lasting for months or years, even after the rash and blisters disappear, usually in two to four weeks. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta describes the pain as â&#x20AC;&#x153;excruciating, burning, stabbing and shock-likeâ&#x20AC;? and compares it â&#x20AC;&#x153;to the pain of childbirth or kidney stones.â&#x20AC;?

People generally canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get shingles unless they had chickenpox, which is great news for younger Americans because a vaccine for chickenpox has been available in the United States since 1995. Almost all older people, however, had chickenpox, even if, like Gottshall, they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember it. The health department says studies show 99 percent of Americans aged 40 years and older were once afďŹ&#x201A;icted by the disease.

Everybody who had chickenpox doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get shingles. But, considering the huge population at risk, it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprising the CDC estimates that one out of three people will develop shingles during their lifetime.

A vaccination for shingles, Zostavax, developed by Merck, was approved and licensed by the Food and Drug Administration in 2006.

The CDC says it is only 51 percent effective in preventing the risk of shingles, but then again, most people would appreciate the opportunity to cut their risk of childbirth-like pain in half.

Centennial Party For BH School on Sunday Afternoon

M

ultitudes of memories and family fun will be on the menu when the Beach Haven School holds its 100th anniversary celebration on Sunday, May 20.

Patricia Daggy, superintendent/principal, said the event would begin at 1 p.m. with a tour of the building, where many magniďŹ ed old photos will be displayed on corridor and classroom walls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping for many people who attended the Beach Haven School to come to the anniversary event,â&#x20AC;? said Daggy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From 2 to 3 (p.m.), weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have numerous speakers reminiscing about their times at the school.â&#x20AC;?

Daggy said that following the program, there would be childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outdoor activities and games until 5 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have a very large anniversary cake,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will probably have enough slices to feed 200 people. By that time in May, more people will be coming down, so we hope it can be an event that grandparents, parents and schoolchildren can all enjoy.â&#x20AC;?

The origins of the school go back to 1881, when Mary Alvaretta Sprague Stratton taught three children in her Second Street home. In 1886, a one-room schoolhouse was opened on Third Street in a building that later became a theater and for the past 30 years has been the home of the Island Baptist Church.

The current building opened its doors as a K-8 school in 1912 on Beach Avenue between Seventh and Eighth streets. When Southern Regional School District opened in 1957, it became a K-6 building.

For more information on the celebration, call the school at 609-492-7411. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;E.E. SigniďŹ cantly, the vaccine appears more effective â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 67 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in preventing post-herpetic neuralgia (after-the-fact pain).

The CDC warns, however, that Zostavax isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for everybody. Those who have had lifethreatening or severe allergic reactions to gelatin or neomycin, two of the components of the vaccine, obviously shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seek out the shot.

Zostavax is also not recommended for people with HIV/AIDS or other diseases that weaken the immune system, patients receiving radiation or chemotherapy for cancer, people with a history of cancer affecting the bone marrow or lymphatic system such as leukemia or lymphoma, or women who are or might be pregnant.

The cost of the vaccine is $180. The health department, however, said, it may be fully or partially reimbursable by some insurance plans including Medicare Part D. Appointments are necessary to receive the vaccine at the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Toms River headquarters. Call 732-341-9700, extension 7604, to make an appointment or to ask further questions. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rick Mellerup rickmellerup@thesandpaper.net

Runyan Busy on the Law and Order Front

P

oliticians always seem to want to stengthen their law-and-order credentials as an election approaches and Congressman Jon Runyan, who currently represents all of the residents of Southern Ocean County in Washington, is no exception.

Runyan, who, if re-elected this fall, will represent only Barnegat and half of Stafford owing to redistricting, has been busy shoring up his law-and-order bona ďŹ des in the past week.

On May 8 he pushed through an amendment to HR-5326, the bill that will fund the U.S. Department of Justice in the coming ďŹ scal year (FY 2013), which would increase the funding for the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (Byrne/JAG) Program to $392.48 million.

Runyanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amendment would transfer $22.418 million from the Justice Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general fund to the Byrne/JAG program, which provides grants to state and local law enforcement agen-

cies. Runyan stresses the transfer was â&#x20AC;&#x153;revenue neutralâ&#x20AC;? and would not add to the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debt.

The vote on Runyanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amendment wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even close â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 325 to 81. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am pleased that so many of my colleagues, from both sides of the aisle, joined me in supporting local law enforcement efforts,â&#x20AC;? said Runyan after the vote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These grants provide vital funds to law enforcement agencies in their efforts to keep our communities safe. With Congress attempting to get the federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spending problem under control, it is important that we prioritize what we fund. I believe the Byrne/JAG grants should be a funding priority.â&#x20AC;?

That very same day Runyan pushed through another amendment to HR-5326, increasing funding for the Violence Against Women Prevention and Prosecution Programs within the Department of Justice from $415 million to Continued on Page 28

MARCH 26TH TO THE END OF MAY 2012 A temporary slight discoloration of the water and a decrease of pressure may be noted as a result of the opening of ¿re hydrants. This discoloration is not harmful and will clear up if you let your water run for a short time.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but by Àushing the system we improve the quality of the water delivered to our customers.

We thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Volunteers for ‘Stop Hunger Now’

Holy Spirit Church Packs the House To Package Meals E very time Chris Franklin banged the gong, cheers went up, as it marked another thousand “life-sustaining” meals that parishioners of the Church of the Holy Spirit and the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore had packed to send overseas.

The basement of the church in Tuckerton was a beehive of activity last Wednesday night after Franklin, of “Stop Hunger Now,” had set up the processing stations.

Wearing hairnets and practicing safe food handling etiquette, the volunteers stood at tables to create the meals from these simple ingredients: a cup of soy protein, two tablespoons of dried vegetable seasonings, a cup of rice and a packet of vitamin supplements funneled into a plastic bag. Runners took the trays of bags to another group of volunteers who weighed them for uniformity, from 379 to 382 grams (about 13 ounces), then heat-sealed the bags. The bags were tossed to another group and packed in boxes.

Volunteers then hefted the boxes into a waiting truck.

The parish had raised $2,500 with a goal of creating 10,000 meals for the hungry.

At the end of the evening, Franklin congratulated the volunteers for their efforts. In less than two hours they had packed 10,271 meals that Franklin estimated would reach the plates of children and their families in Kenya and the Dominican Republic in about two weeks.

The shipping container of 28 pallets, or 285,000 meals, must be full before it will leave the dock from Philadelphia, he explained.

Established in 1998, Stop Hunger Now is an international hunger relief program based in North Carolina that distributes food and other life-saving aid around the world.

Last year it sent 2.3 million meals to schools and orphanages for their school feeding programs. They provide the food at schools so parents will send their children to school, as education is seen as the pivotal step in eradicating global poverty.

Franklin said the receiving organization pays the shipping costs. It also provides meals to in-country partners for crisis relief, such as following the 2010 earthquake in Haiti.

According to its website, www. stophungernow.org, since its inception Stop Hunger Now has provided more than $70 million worth of

MANY HANDS: Sixty-five parishioners and Girl Scouts turned out for an evening of creating 10,000 ‘life sustaining meals’ of soy and rice that will be sent overseas to feed hungry schoolchildren and their families. direct aid and 34 million meals to 72 countries worldwide. Stop Hunger Now created its meal-packaging program in 2005 and perfected the assembly process that it used at the Episcopal church Wednesday night and at other volunteer events. The meal packages have a shelf life of five years and can be transported quickly.

The use of volunteers for food packaging is cost effective; at the

same time it is meant to raise awareness of global hunger and food insecurity issues.

As the volunteers took their breaks to snack on cookies and chips, the contrast in food equality among nations was sobering. Each meal package, which cost 25 cents to create, was meant to serve six in the undeveloped countries. Each tiny grain of rice suddenly seemed bigger and more important.

Church acolyte Lauren Kopf brought the idea of creating the meals from an annual trip to a youth event held in Trenton at the Episcopal Diocese Cathedral. “Last year we created 40,000 meals, and I thought, ‘Why can’t we do something here?’ It’s a great way to get community members together and it’s a good time,” said Kopf.

Young Family Overcomes Much To Train Local Pastors in Kenya

By MARIA SCANDALE rummage sale at Grace Calvary Church in Ship Bottom this Saturday, May 19 will benefit the work of a young family in Kenya training men there to become pastors and at the same time teaching them to support themselves.

Former Grace Calvary youth pastor Brad Harris and his wife, Ellie, are living in Kisumu with their three children, Rachel, Benjamin and Ruth. Ruth was born in Africa in June 2011, and the other children were both less than two years old when the family went to Africa for Tentmakers Bible Mission.

The rummage sale from 8 a.m. to noon will help raise money to buy Old and New

Barnegat Officer on Foot Charges Motorist With DWI

A

Barnegat Township police officer on foot patrol arrested a local motorist for drunken driving and other complaints on May 12.

Lt. Keith Germain said that at 10 p.m., Patrolman Nicholas Dapuzzo was walking in the Lexington Drive area in the Settler’s Landing development with another officer when he observed a car driven at a high rate of speed with a loud muffler. Dapuzzo signaled the driver, George Pfeiffer Jr., 49, to stop. Germain said the officer determined Pfeiffer was under the influence of alcohol.

Germain said Pfeiffer received summonses for driving while intoxicated, reckless driving, loud exhaust system, failure to wear a seatbelt and being an unlicensed driver. He faces a hearing in the township municipal court. —E.E.

Testaments and other teaching materials, plus charcoal-fired jiko ovens that the local pastors can use to make bread to sell and support their ministries. A real struggle for many pastors in Kenya is that the people in their churches often do not support the pastor financially when they might need the money as much, or more, than the pastor does that week.

“Therefore, in addition to teaching these men spiritually, we are also … seeking ways to assist them with their physical needs,” said Harris, during his family’s recent visit to the Ship Bottom church last month.

“Rather than providing a ‘temporary fix’ through ‘handouts,’ our desire and goal would be to help them learn a ‘tent-making’ skill/ trade that could serve as a means of income for them,” he said, tent-making being a reference to the Apostle Paul’s mission. Harris’ specific teaching/training network is called Timothy Bible Project of Africa.

The couple are originally from the Midwest.

They met at Frontier School of the Bible in LaGrange, Wyoming. Grace Calvary is their “sending church” supporting them in their mission.

Without the work that Brad and Ellie are doing, the pastors that he came into contact with had no formal ministerial training and were not fully equipped to teach the Gospel. Quite a few are now coming to Harris, asking to come together for the “prayer, fellowship, sharing and equipping” of the Timothy Bible Project.

There have been “a lot of difficulties,” as one could imagine. The Harris family lives in a cement apartment, making do with solar electricity, no running water and no refrigerator.

Outside are poisonous snakes, although they are thankful to have only seen one. Water is hauled to the village in containers by a local man using a cart. It is supposedly filtered, yet contains worms and must be treated again.

Yet in these challenging conditions, Ellie

“A lot of people say, ‘How could you do that with two kids?’” said Brad, speaking of the tender ages of the children when the family first went on the mission. “Like Scripture says, when you have a relationship with the Lord and when you know He says, ‘Take up your cross and follow me,’ you have to choose: Are we going to live in this world and live for ourselves, or live for Him?” They have several stories to illustrate God’s guiding hand, such as when “somebody hands us an envelope and the exact same amount of money we needed was in the envelope,” Ellie recalled.

“When we started putting Him first in our life, we have never gone without,” Brad said.

“We may have been sick, but He has always got us through it. We’ve never been hungry, we’ve never gone without.”

Their Grace Calvary family prayed for them one Sunday morning, with quick results, when Rachel became ill and her 102-degree fever

would not go down for days, even with American medicine.

“Nothing was working. Our prayers went from, ‘Lord, please take this away,’ to, ‘Lord, let your will be; what is it you want to do?’ That’s when I called Dan,” Brad said, speaking of Pastor Dan Stott. “I woke him up about six o’clock on a Sunday morning. He said that Sunday at church, they all went to praying for Rachel. It was in the afternoon where we were, and that evening, her fever just left her.”

“That’s what makes our home church so special, knowing that we can call back and ask for prayer. And it gives us a peace. It’s great when people send us e-mails to say, ‘Hey, we’re thinking of you.’”

To contact the Harris family, e-mail rubelievinginjesus@hotmail.com, or write to PO Box 19436-40123, Mega City, Kisumu, Kenya, Africa.

The rummage sale is being sponsored by the Grace Calvary Church Youth Group and the church’s Awana Children’s Program. For more information, call the church at 609-494-7777.Y

Congregation Celebrates Friendship With St. Francis

T

he Jewish Community Center of Long Beach Island hosted its annual interfaith service on Friday for the first time in its new Spray Beach sanctuary. Rabbi Jacob S. Friedman led the service, with guest speaker the Rev. Diane Gilbert, pastor of the First United Methodist Church in Beach Haven Terrace and Kynett United Methodist Church in Beach Haven offering words of wisdom on the topic “Freedom Ain’t Free.”

Gilbert began her talk of freedom with a discussion of patriotism, speaking fondly of her father, a Marine veteran of the Korean War and fellow minister. From there, she turned the focus back to faith. “Our faith stories tell us that freedom isn’t free,” she said, referencing both the Passover story for the Jews, which tells of the exodus from Egypt and the trip to the Promised Land, as well as the “life, death and resurrection of Jesus,” which holds a similar symbolism for the Christian community.

“Freedom is having no sovereign but the Lord,” she surmised.

Gilbert also spoke of the civil rights movement, quoting Rosa Parks and several passages from the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech.

At the conclusion of her sermon, she asked the crowd of nearly 200 to offer up the names of groups that are in need of a little more freedom, from oppression or otherwise. The congregants of the varied religious traditions shouted out the following list: “gays,” “immigrants,” “women,” “the abused,” “the poor,” “special needs children,” “the unemployed,” “the homeless” and “the elderly,” as those groups seeking more freedom.

“We are surrounded,” Gilbert said, “by people who need people to stand the gap. … Freedom ain’t free. It requires from us a response.”

She also quoted George Krokos’ poem “Universal Freedom Is…,” reciting compelling lines including “Freedom from war and freedom of peace /freedom to begin and freedom to cease. /Freedom from sickness and freedom of health /freedom from poverty and mishandled wealth.”

Guest clergy at the event included the Rev. Steve Kluge, pastor at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Parish, who donned a blue yarmulke, or traditional Jewish headcovering, for the service.

In continuing the spirit of sisterhood between the church and the synagogue, Friedman also honored Sister Kathleen “Kate” Murphy, who just celebrated her 95th birthday. “When she retires from St. Francis,” Friedman said, “I’m going to hire her!”

The Island Singers, under the direction of Polly Moore, also added to the service, singing songs from a variety of traditions, and ending the night with a rendition of “Let There Be Peace on Earth,” to murmurs from the back of the crowd that the JCC needs its own choir to create the same ambience every Friday night.

Friedman called the interfaith service a “highlight” of the year’s programming. The annual service was significant for a number of reasons: Not only did it celebrate a variety of traditions, as well as the continued friendship between the JCC and St. Francis, it also marked the first time many congregants and visitors alike got to enjoy the new sanctuary, including JCC President Don Pripstein, who spoke at the conclusion of the service.

A

second meeting of the Little Egg Harbor Township Planning Board on May 3 was dedicated to hearing an application for 29 townhouse/condos proposed on the grounds of the Sea Oaks Golf Course.

Applicant Joseph Mezzina owns the golf course, country club and Inn at Sea Oaks and hopes to get planning board approval to build an additional senior planned residential development within the already approved senior development of Sea Oaks. When the Sea Oaks PRD was being constructed, the golf course and country club were bifurcated from the housing piece and sold separately to Mezzina while K. Hovnanian built the housing. The applicant contends he could develop up to 30 acres of the golf course based on the density requirements of the township’s PRD ordinance but would like a variance not to – all he wants to develop are the 29 townhouse/condos on a 4.2-acre lot that contains part of the existing driving range and part of the 10th hole on the golf course.

The situation is a novel one, as Mezzina’s attorney, Howard Butensky, admitted.

“It’s an oddball situation, ironic that what’s being sought is permission to develop less than what’s required,” said Butensky. “We’re looking for a variance to develop less than we’re required to.”

The township planner, John Maczuga of T&M Associates, agreed that “an oddity” in the ordinance requires a PRD to be at least 30 acres to qualify under that provision. The original intent of PRDs was to preserve open space – so-called cluster housing, where the homes are allowed to be closer together (denser) than what is commonly allowed within the larger community. Then more open space is preserved – and in this case that was interpreted as a golf course.

Maczuga said he supported giving the variance to Mezzina.

Township planning board attorney Joe Coronato suggested the township committee revisit the PRD ordinance and tighten a “loophole” he said exists that allows PRDs to be built within PRDs. But that wouldn’t affect this application.

Butensky said he would agree that revisiting the ordinance and tightening the language would be beneficial and that his applicant had “no intention of proceeding further” with additional development of the golf course. But “nobody knows what the future will bring,” he added.

The board proceeded with hearing the application.

Mezzina’s traffic expert, David Horner, presented a traffic study that found there would be

no adverse impacts to existing intersections if the townhomes were built. His firm had taken traffic counts during peak morning and evening hours and found the addition of 19 trips in the morning and 22 in the afternoon would not affect the waiting time at intersections. Increased waiting times coupled with the impatience of drivers are what cause most accidents. Horner also found the townhouse development would generate an additional 110 trips in and out of the Sea Oaks development each day – not enough to cause an impact even when events such as weddings and golfing events were occurring at the country club.

“During the worst-case scenario, the additional traffic generated by the townhouses only would add 10 to 20 seconds to the wait time at the Club House and Golf View intersection; that’s still acceptable,” said Horner.

During the public’s turn to speak, Sea Oaks resident Pat Loehfelm said the times that were studied – the 7-to-9 a.m. and 4- to 6-p.m. rush hours did not reflect the reality of life in a senior development. “In a retirement community, many people sleep late and are eating dinner at those times. I don’t believe your study is fulfilling all the needs we have.”

Her husband, Fred Loehfelm, asked if Horner had taken into account the fact that Sea Oaks residents use Country Club Drive to get to their clubhouse, pool and other amenities, and Horner said that was all taken into account when the traffic counts were done in July 2010 and adjusted for growth in January of this year.

The next expert was project engineer Ron Curcio of Adams, Raymond and Hagen Associates. Curcio addressed some of the concerns voiced by residents at the last planning board hearing, held on April 19. He said the sanitary pump station would be designed with failsafe measures including back-up pumps, auxiliary power and alarms.

The proposed 900-foot street off Country Club Lane would be built to state standards: 24 feet wide with a 40-foot cul de sac at the end for emergency vehicles. Each townhouse would have a two-car garage and space for four vehicles if the garages were used for cars. The proposal would also create 15 additional parking spaces off the road to accommodate visitors to the townhouses.

The developer proposes to build a drainage basin to reduce stormwater runoff. Curcio said four agencies had reviewed the basin, the township, the county, Ocean County Soils and Conservation and N.J. Department of Environmental Continued on Page 28

community of nurses, institutions and health care providers dedicated to these improvements.

Colleen Manzetti, acting dean for OCC’s School of Nursing, stated, “It is important to provide the educational foundation which will allow our graduates to care for our servicemen and women upon entering practice. The faculty will be reviewing the curriculum to ensure emphasis on these conditions and the societal impact they may have on a person’s quality of life.”

Among the most pressing healthcare issues facing military men and women and their families are the effects of PTSD, TBI and other combat-related injuries, as well as depression.

Through the “Joining Forces” initiative, nursing organizations and schools have committed to educate current and future nurses on how to recognize the symptoms of these debilitating conditions, and to provide appropriate care.

cean County College’s School of Nursing recently joined hundreds of other schools across the nation in pledging to better prepare nursing students to meet the unique healthcare needs of military service members, veterans and their families, which includes education about post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury.

In an effort coordinated by the U.S. Departments of Veteran Affairs and Defense, the National League for Nursing, American Nurses Association, American Academy of Nurse Practitioners and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, more than 500 nursing schools and more than 150 state and national nursing organizations have signed on to this “Joining Forces” effort to further educate the country’s three million nurses.

The partner organizations hope to disseminate knowledge to improve health care and wellness for military service members, veterans and their families, and to increase the supportive

Surf City at Odds With DEP; Mayor Defends Class 1 Cops A

t the monthly Surf City Borough Council meeting May 9, the council made preparations for a post-Memorial Day world, and once again the mayor found himself pitted against the money-demanding state – in this case, the Department of Environmental Protection.

The council has been in correspondence with the DEP since last June concerning the continual monitoring of a former underground fuel tank site near 14th Street for groundwater contamination.

Mayor Leonard T. Connors said two 4,000-gallon fuel tanks were removed 15 years ago, leaving nothing but dirt and monitoring wells in their place. They were replaced with above ground tanks.

An engineer that completed the removal sent paperwork at the time to the DEP that was never followed up, according to Borough Clerk Mary Madonna. Now the DEP has come up with fees for hiring someone to do continual monitoring at the site, a potential cost to the town in tens of thousands of dollars.

“They’re saying, ‘you’re not closed out, you need to continue monitoring; you need to pay for another professional to handle and oversee all this,’ ” said Madonna. “We were paying them a case manager fee. Now they say, ‘we’re going to assess a fee to you but we’re gonna call it something different.’”

“This is absolutely absurd,” said Connors. “This is nothing more than a money grab. The state is short money and 80 percent of the DEP’s budget comes from fines and fees. Fines and fees will go up like crazy in the state.

If you were to go down there (to 14th Street), it’s dirt; it’s closed, it’s been pulled out of there. The monitoring wells don’t show any contamination whatsoever.”

“They sit on all this stuff and then approach it years later,” said Councilman Fran Hodgson.

The council resolved to call for all documents concerning the site and its history to be reproduced by the DEP before further action is taken.

On another matter, the council approved the hiring of several of the Class 1 officers it employs during the summer months. Dressed in full police uniform, they accompany beach badge checkers on Surf City beaches as added enforcement for $10.50 an hour.

In an interview with The SandPaper, one Surf City resident said the officers were overly aggressive following an encounter last summer with one of them.

“I was demanded to put my beach badge on my bathing suit, which is very expensive, and after I refused, I was met with great hostility and anger. And as a law-abiding, taxpaying citizen of Surf City, I was very offended and disrespected,” said Leah DiNardo, 23. “He threatened to arrest me if I didn’t listen to him.”

Connors said Class 1 Officers are trained to act differently.

“They’re instructed, if the people have a beach badge, to leave them alone,” said the mayor. Officers are also told to be patient when dealing

with beachgoers that are clearly attempting to avoid the checkers by rolling over and pretending to be asleep, and to wait until they eventually get up to leave.

Regarding official complaints concerning Class 1 officers, Connors said, “Yeah, people complain after they get arrested.” He defended putting the seasonal officers on duty.

“They work well. The presence of a uniform on the beach helps maintain beach laws. We’re very concerned with drinking on the beach and littering; anything that makes life miserable for somebody on the beach trying to enjoy themselves. So we put special police out there.”

Councilman Peter Hartney, who oversees the beaches, said 832 season beach badges have been sold so far this year, negligibly less than last year at this time. An ongoing pre-season sale of the season badges for $25 at the municipal building can save beachgoers $10 if purchased by May 31.

Also during the meeting, a resolution expressed appreciation for a regional police training facility soon to be completed in Little Egg Harbor, where Surf City police will train in firearms and more. “It’s something that we need in this area,” Connors said. “Prior, we would have to go far out of town.”

A two-month road project on Barnegat Avenue from 14th to 17th streets was swiftly completed over the weekend, meeting the Memorial Day deadline to fix uneven pavement and potholes.

“It was a lot of work,” Madonna said. “They had (storm drain) sewers to insert and resurfacing, and had to work around the weather.”

Finally, the council members acknowledged Madonna’s birthday, without asking her age – they knew better. Everyone knows the clerk does all the work. At least no one sang.

Power Plant Employees Build Terrapin Barriers Continued from Page 14 to purchase educational equipment and $2,500 to the Fish Hawks Saltwater Anglers club to purchase fishing equipment for the kids of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ocean County.

The company and workers’ community involvement doesn’t end with financial aid.

“I go out about four or five times a year,” said Marie Tarantino, a stock keeper at the plant. “Groups approach the company for help and the company asks for volunteers. This is the first time I’ve been involved with this group, but I’ve worked for United Way.” “We have done a lot at the Lighthouse Center (for Natural Resource Education in Ocean Township),” chipped in another stock keeper at the plant, Anita Russell. “And we’ve helped Habitat for Humanity.”

“We’ve got another project on June 26 and 27,” said Nancy Eriksen, the plant’s site records manager, “at the Lighthouse Center and at Meadowedge Park in Barnegat.” She added that typical activities included “roofing, painting and cleaning.”

Indeed, workers from the generating station had helped with the Great Bay Terrapin Project before, helping to install 4,000 linear feet of extruded plastic mesh fencing along the roadway.

“They got involved because I know Nancy,” said Wurst, who was thrilled with the help. He was also very excited about the project that day.

“It’s a new design,” he said of the barriers the volunteers were installing. “Basically, they’re a lot easier to install and really maintenance-free.”

The barriers are simplicity itself.

They are made by cutting lengths of a 10-inch rigid corrugated tube in half.

The half-tubes are then placed in a trench and backfilled. The only maintenance they will require is the control

of grasses along the barrier’s length.

Finally, the new barriers are very low to the ground – but still high enough to stop terrapins, not known as high jumpers of the animal kingdom – and therefore not immediately obvious to passing motorists, which is, given the history of the Great Bay Terrapin Project, very important.

Signs Removed; Fencing Vandalized Terrapins, or, to be more exact, northern diamondback terrapins, were once common along the Atlantic Coast. The turtles, specially evolved to live in brackish coastal swamps, are small – males grow to about five inches in length, females to 7½ inches –and unfortunately, quite tasty.

That’s why they were almost driven to extinction in the early 1900s – terrapin stew was considered quite a delicacy in both the United States and Europe.

The species made a comeback but is still considered a “species of concern” in New Jersey. Surprisingly, there is still an open hunting season for them in the Garden State, running from Nov. 1 to March 31. However, it isn’t hunting that is the biggest threat to terrapins these days, but rather habitat loss, drowning in crab traps and, especially, being run over by motor vehicles. Conserve Wildlife says thousands of terrapins are crushed under the wheels of cars and trucks each year in New Jersey!

The area surrounding Great Bay Boulevard is a terrapin’s dream, consisting of more than 5,500 acres of protected coastal saltmarsh called the Great Bay Boulevard Wildlife Management Area, managed by the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife.

Even the five-mile-long road itself is a godsend for the terrapins because its soft shoulders make for ideal nesting spots. Females lay their eggs in sand/ gravel mixtures.

Beach Haven Budget Adoption on Hold Although there were no comments during the public hearing on its $9.4 million municipal budget Monday night, the Beach Haven Borough Council cannot adopt it until it gets the green light from the state Department of Local Government Services.

“In the past few years, the budget has been under self-review, meaning we could review it ourselves and it did not have to go to the state,” said Borough Manager Richard Crane. “But this year, we are subject to the state’s review. They’ve given it preliminary approval, but we’ll probably have to wait until June to adopt it.”

Crane said the budget is approximately $350,000 more than last year’s spending plan. He said the municipal purpose tax (not including school and county) will rise by 1 cent per $100 assessed value, to 37.4 cents. Crane said the owner of a home assessed at the borough average would absorb an $84.50 increase.

He said the major increase in the budget was $146,000 for debt service.

“We have some bond anticipation notes that are due this year,” he said. “This was used for bulkheading projects, buying new trash vehicles for the public works department and other equipment.”

He said other increases included $83,910 in health insurance, $60,675 in salaries, $33,000 for fuel and electricity and $27,423 on pensions.

“We instituted co-pays in our new contracts, so that held down the health insurance cost increases a little,” Crane said. —E.E.

Stafford Twp. Budget Hearing Set for June 4 Stafford Township introduced its 2012 municipal budget, totaling $39.7 million, by way of resolution at the council meeting of April 16. The public hearing on the budget will take place June 4, when the budget is up for adoption.

Mayor John Spodofora announced the 2012 budget increased by $744,250 (1.91 percent) over 2011, while coming in $2.2 million under the spending cap and $1.6 million under the tax cap.

If adopted, the budget would result in a tax increase of $11.45 based on the average assessed home value, Spodofora said. The average ratepayer could also see increases of $6.80 for water and $20 for sewer, billed quarterly and largely attributable to increased fees to the Ocean County Utilities Authority for wastewater processing, Township Administrator James Moran explained. —V.L.

Beach Haven Proclamations Honor Jack Koser At its meeting Monday night, the Beach Haven Borough Council paid tribute to John P. “Jack” Koser, a former president of the Beach Haven First Aid Squad, who died on May 1 at the age of 69.

Councilman Robert Keeler presented a proclamation, signed by Mayor Charles Maschal, to Koser’s widow, Naomi Koser. The couple had been married for 37 years.

The proclamation noted that Koser joined the squad in 1998, two years after he moved to Beach Haven. It said that from 1998 to 2008, he had responded to an average of 200 calls a year.

“He didn’t want his illness to keep him from serving with the squad,” said Naomi Koser. “He kept at it until January of this year, when it just became too difficult for him. It really frustrated him because he was so dedicated to the squad.”

Koser was a real estate agent and partner for Sunset Harbour Realty in Beach Haven, and also served on the borough’s land use board.

Councilman Jim White estimated “several hundred people” attended a memorial service for Koser at the Pearl Street Pavilion, in which numerous area police departments, fire companies and first aid squads were represented.

“The people in town really came through,” said White. “It was such a fitting tribute to an outstanding person in our community.”

White also pointed to Koser’s first aid squad service to encourage people to serve as volunteers for the unit.

“They need people,” he said. “Volunteer companies are always looking for members.”

He said applications are available at squad headquarters at 321 Engleside Ave. and at the borough clerk’s office.

Maschal announced a proclamation for May 14 as ALS Awareness Day, and presented a copy of the document to Michael Peler. Last January, he lost his longtime partner, Kathleen Dobozinski, to the neuromuscular disease.

The two were owners of the Phoenix store in the borough.

“She was 58 when she died, and we were together for 29 years,” said Peler, fighting back emotion. “She battled this horrible disease for eight years. I can only hope one day there will be a cure. I want to thank everyone for all their support and their prayers through this very difficult time.”

The proclamation said that “approximately every 90 minutes, another American is diagnosed with ALS and nearly 5,600 people in the United States are newly diagnosed each year. ALS can strike anyone. This disease does not discriminate against gender, age or race. The incidence of ALS is two cases per 100,000 population per year, or five times higher than Huntington’s disease and about equal to that of multiple sclerosis.”

Maschal said he would also present proclamation copies to Ronald and Cathie Riker, who were in attendance. They lost their son Ronald Jr. to ALS eight years ago. —E.E.

Business Showcase And Bonus Chowder Add Up to Interest V

isitors glided from the “cloud” into the pure air of filtration machines at the 2012 Back to Business Expo, and then they sipped cups of clam chowder. The annual event of the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce put businesspeople face to face with the public and each other for a look at the latest products and services – and some were unexpected.

Those who stopped at the St. Mary’s Parish Center in Manahawkin were in the right place not only to meet their banker, but to learn about bartering for goods. Another vendor detailed the rewards of buying wholesale.

“We tell people we’re more than just cases of toilet paper,” Costco Wholesale marketing representative Nancy Peterson quipped to folks who saw that the offerings included home insurance, high-yield savings accounts and more.

The array of information at the expo was free. Anyone who didn’t come out in the rain missed nearly 50 vendors, not to mention the usual year’s supply of free pens and other catchy giveaways. At one table, a piping hot preview could be tasted from an entrant in the upcoming Chowderfest 2012, and this soup won second runner-up last year. The creamy, well-seasoned blend by The Four C Sons caterers, of Little Egg Harbor Township, was getting enthusiastic reviews. So was the buffet sampler by the Ocean County Vo-Tech School culinary students under the direction of Chef Ian Smith.

But back to business. The expo name derives from the time of year, and the expo is one of the last times many of these resort-area businesspeople see each other before the busiest season starts. Answers were there to many questions relative to running a business better.

CPA Frank F. Monetti of Toms River (fmcpanj.com) provided literature answering the question “How long should I keep my records on file?”

“Every company should have a record retention policy and should have its legal counsel review this policy to make sure that all legal areas are covered,” Monetti’s handout from The Tax Adviser publication stated. “Data sources to consider protecting include voicemail messages, faxes, e-mails, instant messages, document images, electronic working papers, and paper documents.”

The advisory listed those that should be kept for three years (bank deposit slips and sales invoices are two of these); six years (bank statements, and expired contracts are examples); seven years (ledgers of accounts payable and receivable, and more) and permanently (tax returns, legal correspondence, real estate purchase and sale records, and a list of others).

Along those lines, and at the next table, was Ocean County SCORE’s handout on “10 Legal Steps Every Small Business Should Take.”

SCORE nationwide partners with

Rocket Lawyer to provide information and resources to help with small business legal matters. The Ocean County office can be reached at 732-505-6033 or at oceancountyscore.org.

“Protect Yourself With a Business Prenup” is one measure on the handout. “Launching with a partner? A buy-sell agreement protects everybody from situations that could complicate ownership. If one partner wants out, gets divorced or passes away, the buy-sell agreement can protect against sticky situations when ownership shares transfer to the wrong person.”

Home ownership was the talk in the opposite corner of the room.

“Home affordability has never been better,” said Kenneth Nilson, a broker associate with RE/MAX of Long Beach Island in Ship Bottom. “Home prices have rolled back anywhere from 10 to 15 years, and interest rates are at 50-year lows. And when you couple that with the interest deductibility of your home mortgage, ownership of a home is way better than renting.”

Deductibility arose when MnK Technologies Inc.’s Mark Santorelli outlined “cloud computing” to expogoers. More and more small businesses are becoming aware of the option to store their data online via a “cloud”-based system. Here’s one tax advantage: “You write off the expense a hundred percent as you’re using it,” Santorelli said. “A cloud-based solution is an operating expense.”

That’s versus the capital expense of a regular computing model, where the business writes off a depreciating asset, he explained.

Returning to general terms, “The whole key to the cloud is that your Windows desktop and the information on the desktop, all your data, is stored securely in a data center where you can have access to it anywhere you are, as long as you have an Internet connection on any device you’re using, whether it’s a PC, iPad, whatever you want,” Santorelli said.

“Big companies have been doing it for years; it just hasn’t been affordable for a smaller company to do,” he said, adding that “at about $100 a month,” the typical customer can now have cloud computing capability without having to buy office computing systems. The data is stored in a facility in California with strict industry security measures, he said.

The MnK Cloud aspect of the Barnegat-based Mnk Technologies has a web page at mnkcloud.com detailing more information, or the phone number is 609-607-9617.

Nearby in the expo room, browsers passed from talk of the virtual cloud into a mist of pure air delivered by the portable, water-based filtration systems of AFT Indoor Air Solutions, run by Angelo F. Trapani of Barnegat (clearairnj.net). It was one of the more hands-on experiences of the expo, including a wheel to spin for prizes of gift certificates, besides the attractive, clear filtration machines filled with water, that come in tabletop sizes and whole-house models.

Hydration

Business Notes

Sea Oaks

Continued from Page 15 plastics,” said township Recycling Coordinator Angela Contillo Andersen. “The hydration station project makes economic and environmental sense for our community. Plastic bottles are a big source of litter in the coastal waters and on the beaches, as we saw recently during the Barnegat Bay Blitz,” a watershed-wide cleanup coordinated by the N.J. Department of Environmental Protection.

As Andersen noted, “‘Put water in your bottle, not your bottle in the water’ is the mantra” of the partners in this effort, which includes the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences and Kapler’s Pharmacy in addition to ALO, ReClam the Bay and the two participating municipalities.

“Alliance for a Living Ocean urges other LBI towns to get involved with this program and take advantage of free hydration stations for the benefit of citizens and our environment,” said Huch.

As Andersen pointed out, Long Beach Township has also taken the step of replacing “our office water coolers with tankless systems from Advanced H2O, which saves money and plastic bottle delivery. We have a total of seven tankless units” in the municipal complex, which includes the police station, as well as at the township’s Public Works building and the LBI Health Department.

She gives Commissioner Ralph Bayard, who oversees Public Works, a great deal of credit for helping see both the outdoor hydration stations and the indoor tankless systems come to fruition, and is glad Mayor Joseph Mancini and Commissioner Joseph Lattanzi are also fully supportive of these projects.

Continued from Page 27 “We’re here to help people who suffer from asthma, allergies and breathing problems, and also to purify the home of dust problems or pet dander,” introduced Raymond Jenkins, a company employee.

“What’s really great about our product is we actually use water as our filter – no bags or filters or worrying about having to change anything.

An immediate benefit is that once it’s in there, it’s there to stay, nothing is going to be leaked back into the air; that’s a problem with bags and filters once they clog up.”

An array of herbal oils can be used in the machine. Eucalyptus, an active ingredient in the well-known Vicks products, has long been used by cultures around the world, and in hospitals, as a disinfectant for the air.

On the topic of health, Home Instead Senior Care had a table where representatives explained how the caregiver services can help clients or their loved ones live a secure, dignified life in their home for longer. Service agreements can be made for a few hours, or for up to 24-hour live-in care for the elderly.

The company is based in Barnegat and also serves other areas in Southern Ocean County.

It can be reached by phone at 609-607-1900, or more information can be found on the website, homeinstead.com.

“We now have a new dementia training program for our caregivers so they’ll be better equipped to deal with somebody who has Alzheimer’s or dementia so we can keep them at home longer,” pointed out Francine Pennella, LPN, a community liaison for Home Instead Senior Care. “The issues that come up with people with dementia are so difficult to deal with, and the more tools that our caregivers have, the easier it is to take care of the person, to support that person to stay independent.”

All of the displayers couldn’t be interviewed for the business column, but one more should be mentioned now, and it is truly different. EBN, or EBarterNation, was attracting people curious about the barter network that the company has started from its base at 2909 Long Beach Blvd in Ship Bottom (609-494-1311).

Believing that “barter is the ultimate cash management tool,” EBarterNation works by having a base of merchants and professionals who use their goods and services to in turn receive services, merchandise and advertising from the others.

“Trade Dollars, instead of cash, are deposited into your virtual EBarterNation Bank Account and can be redeemed for any of the goods and services provided by any of the businesses within the EBN Membership Trading Community,” explained a pamphlet.

As another year’s Back to Business Expo was winding down, chamber board of directors President Chris Schwab said this year’s expo had the most vendors displaying as have signed up in about the past four years.

Continued from Page 22 Protection CAFRA, and determined it would significantly reduce the water now coming off the hilly site. The drainage basin would be 3 feet deep with the first foot at the bottom designed to infiltrate water into the ground. A 6-inch drainage pipe would be located at 1 foot, 7 inches off the bottom and would drain slowly to the other basins on the site – first to the pond by the 10th hole. The basin is required to reduce the flow rate by 75 percent. The developer would also create swales in the back yards with perforated pipe to take some roof rain.

Curcio also said although there would be landscaping, there would be no buffer or screening of the townhouse/condominiums because they are being marketed to golfing enthusiasts who want a view of the golf course. Butensky also defended the lack of screening, saying “Golf course lots are a premium.”

Although the developer did not offer any floor plans, it was noted that the PRD ordinance restricts the number of people living in a unit to three. Two-bedroom units are planned.

Butensky said the number of bedrooms restricts the number of residents, and a standard Homeowners Association contract would also restrict the number of occupants.

This is when the planning board learned that Mezzina was planning two separate homeowners associations besides the Sea Oaks HOA; one for the 16 units already approved behind the Inn at Sea Oaks and a separate one for the 29 units proposed for the driving range.

Butensky said he would provide the HOA documents at the final site plan approval stage, but said they were standard. “They are all basically the same.”

During the public comment period, George Brady, who owns a neighboring property, asked questions about the stormwater system because he contends the existing stormwater system for all of Sea Oaks is connected and already impacting his property, and he is concerned additional development would cause additional stormwater flow to his property.

Curcio said he did not design the other basins and is responsible only for the one he is designing for the 29 townhouses.

Brady said when the entire area was wooded, there was no problem with water flows to his property, but when Sea Oaks developed its property, it replaced a 6-inch-wide drain pipe that leads to his property with a 24-inch drain pipe.

Brady also contended that after approving Sea Oaks’ development of 375 homes, the township planning board granted waivers to the developer,

OCC Nursing Continued from Page 24 the first people we see when we walk through the door. Because of their expertise, they are trusted to be the frontline of America’s health care system,” said First Lady Michelle Obama, who was at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia last month, along with Jill Biden, to give support to this initiative. “That’s why Jill and I knew we could turn to America’s nurses and nursing students to help our veterans and military families get the world-class care that they’ve earned. It’s clear from today’s announcement that the nursing community is well on its way to serving our men and women in uniform and their families.”

In March, the NLN reached out to its 35,000 individual members and 1,200 institutional members, who represent nurse educators at all levels of higher education, to sign the “Joining Forces” pledge. The NLN is also planning a series of professional development activities to help ensure that nurse faculty across the academic spectrum can educate future nurses about the physical and psychological needs of veterans and their families.

Terrapins Continued from Page 26 Alas, the roadway is also a killing field for the terrapins. Females often cross the road in search of suitable nesting sites. Unfortunately, they lay their eggs in the spring and early summer – May through July – which is the same time period that traffic increases on Great Bay Boulevard. The result, said Wurst, is a disaster, with about 30 percent of the crossing terrapins killed by motor vehicles.

The need for terrapin barriers, then, seems obvious. Unfortunately, the old, fence-style barriers proved irresistible to vandals, who damaged several sections in the summer after the barriers were installed. “Terrapin X-ING” signs installed

by Conserve Wildlife also proved tempting to ne’r-do-wells and souvenir seekers. So the low profile of the new barriers may prove invaluable.

“We’re really trying out a new method here,” said Wurst.

Cemetery Continued from Page 17 the years a lot of trees were planted in the cemetery and some are so close you can’t get up the roadway as the trees scrape the cars,” said Sutton. “We walked it and tagged trees and bushes that have got to be removed. I know people have planted things and the deed restrictions don’t allow it; now we are having difficulties.”

The board is also contemplating increasing the cost of plots and suggested people buy them soon if they want to save.

The board will meet quarterly to discuss issues, and public meetings will be held quarterly on the second Wednesday evening of August, November, February and May at 7 p.m. in the Methodist Church.

Sooy made a last statement before leaving.

“For a long time the board was run by the same people and I am thrilled that new people are coming up with fresh ideas. It’s a new age for myself and for all of us.”

Runyan Continued from Page 18 $420 million. That amendment passed by a voice vote –ayes vs. nays, with no formal recording.

Runyan said his amendment would bring the funding for the programs closer to the amount authorized in fiscal years 2010 and 2011. He noted that President Obama had sought less money for the programs, $412.5 million, and stressed, once again, that his amendment was “revenue neutral.”

“It is important that our country take a firm stance against domestic violence, and supporting these programs within the Department of Justice is a first step,” said Runyan. “It is also important that we reauthorize the Violence Against Woman Act to ensure that these programs are continued. This is why I joined a number of my colleagues to implore the Judiciary Committee to move the reauthorization legislation forward sooner rather than later.”

The House passed the entire HR-5326 bill on May 10, and it now awaits action in the Senate. Runyan’s effort to increase Byrne/JAG funding should be in no danger in the other chamber – his amendment simply increased the House’s funding to the same level that already existed in the Senate version. His stance on the Violence Against Women Prevention and Prosecution Programs, too, should be defended in the Senate. That body has already voted to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act, first passed in 1994.

allowing for a reduction in the depth of the retention ponds. “They issued a waiver that allowed them to only remove 195,000 cubic yards of soil, in essence reducing the depth of the ponds from 16 feet to 6 feet; that’s 7,000 dump truck loads of soil that didn’t have to be removed, a fact that has affected how much water runs off that site.”

Butensky said Curcio could testify only to the application before the planning board that evening – the 29 townhouses.

But Brady pointed out that all the stormwater retention ponds are connected. “The bottom line is there is a hell of a lot of water coming on my property that never happened before; according to the (state’s) RSIS (Residential Site Improvement Standards), all stormwater is supposed to stay on site.”

Sea Oaks resident Judith Orvuska was next to the podium and said she was upset that the future tenants of the townhouses would have a nice, unobstructed view of the golf course when some residents already living on Golf View Drive would now see townhouses rather than trees lining the 10th hole. “These (planned) condos are now obscuring what used to be a nice view – does anybody care?” she asked the planning board.

Resident Harry Morton was concerned for the golfers who would have to cross another road to get to the 10th hole and said Club House Drive was already congested with the inn, restaurant and clubhouse traffic.

Numerous other residents said they had paid a premium to have a lot facing a golf course, and situating a condo development on what was once golf course would impact the worth of their homes.

With time approaching the end of the meeting, the board carried the application to May 17 at 7 p.m. in the courtroom of the municipal building on Radio Road.

Little Egg Hires Continued from Page 14 The township approved a collective bargaining agreement with PBA Local 295, for superior officers’ contracts affecting police captains and lieutenants. The five-year contract, retroactive to 2009, will expire in 2014. The officers took a 1.6 percent increase for each of the five years.

“The main effort we hoped to accomplish is this eliminates longevity,” said Loesch. “The officers stood by their subordinates and the rest of the township in this,” he said.

The mayor and committee also authorized an employment agreement with their administrative staff for two confidential assistants: one under the police chief, a position that remains to be filled after Carl Dillon retired, and the other for Robin Shilling, confidential secretary to Loesch.

The terms of the three-year agreement are zero for the first year and 2 percent for the remaining years. “There is no longevity and no sell-back of time,” said Loesch. “It also eliminates traditional insurance as an option.”

The township received a $41,224 Clean Communities Grant and used it to hire six laborers for public works. The jobs are temporary and seasonal.

Township Engineer Jim Oris said plans to construct permanent bathroom facilities connected to septic and a concession stand at the township’s recreation fields off Route 539 are moving along, and he expects they will be completed by summer’s end, in time for the fall season.

Committeeman Gene Kobryn announced he had participated in the May 9 Barnegat Bay Blitz in the pouring rain and the state Department of Environmental Protection had picked out the same place as last year for the cleanup, the so-called Dump Road, a dirt trail that connects the Otis Bog extension to Center Street.

Last year, old appliances filled the trash bin; this year, volunteers collected old tires, construction and roofing material, a pool table and a hot tub.

Kobryn said the DEP dubbed it “the largest illegal dump site in Southern Ocean County.” And for that reason the township’s public works and the Municipal Utilities Authority cooperated in installing barriers at both ends. “The DEP is compiling pictures of what was done there,” said Kobryn. —P.J.

I

KNOW WHAT YOU’RE UP TO: Life is always throwing clandestine profundities at me. Perfect example: Driving up Route 9 over the weekend, I eyed a billboard advertising the New Jersey Lottery. Taking up almost the entire sign surface were the weighty words: “Win Before Your Neighbor Does.”

What a weird frickin’ concept.

I have always liked my neighbors, but, just like that, this billboard spoke to me. Its words began sprouting in my brain, like tiny little paranoia plants.

By the time I pulled into my Ship Bottom driveway, I was ever-so-discretely pinging glances off of every single house surrounding mine – and a few down the block that I had long harbored some suspicions about.

Before climbing out of my truck, I silently thought, “I know what you’re all up to; maneuvering to win the lottery – and leave me lying in the egg shells and coffee grinds of middle-class America.”

I pussyfooted into my house, gently closed the door, then crouchingly rushed over to my front window. I covertly peeked out through an ever so slightly pulled back curtain. Aha! Just as suspected. My neighbors were all acting very suspiciously – checking on the mail, mowing lawns that they deviously allowed to grow out, picking kids up off school buses, idly talking with passing bicyclists who just happened to stop, pulling out of the driveway and then later pulling back in again. These are all well-documented examples of neighbors hell-bent on winning before I do.

Nice try, but I have no intentions of letting you Joneses accelerate past me – and into the instant-affluence lane. Maybe we’ll just see who freewheels into the lottery-winning circle.

And the lottery winner is: Me! Mine, all mine!

Of course, when I win, my decidedly shrewd neighbors will surely turn resentful and, quite likely, vengeful. Therefore, I’ve already begun planning for my post-lottery afterlife. Strategically, I’ll use a huge chunk of my monetary windfall to convert my home into a fortress.

I’ll need huge electrified fences; no fewer than three Browning machine guns mounted on the roof; the most advanced seismic equipment to make sure no one is tunneling in; enough camera coverage to film a documentary on bitter, lottery-losing neighbors; and bulletproof glass on all my new SUVs and trucks.

And to think, if it wasn’t for that “Win Before Your Neighbor Does” billboard, I might have remained perilously oblivious to lottery-hungry citizens lurking just beyond my property line.

Thank you, New Jersey Lottery. It’s yet another

reminder why I live in the great Garden State.

Oh, that reminds me: I’ll also need to put a minefield around my garden.

LACTATING TO STAY ALIVE: I have to offer a cat story. Even though I’m not a cat person, by any stretch – except maybe when working with catgut line – a momma meower over at the Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter deserves some sort of “You go, mamma” award, if not a survivor-of-the-year catnip ribbon.

(We’ll call her) Sadie first came into the shelter bearing a massive litter.

Despite the sickly surroundings, she dutifully nursed her kittens into the adoptability range.

Sadie, on the other scratched hand, wasn’t much on the human touch. Feralish and deemed “unadoptable,” she was pulled from her weaned litter and placed onto the shelter’s famed “Kill” list, awaiting the chemical kiss of Dr. Death.

But, lo and behold, the shelter soon received yet another squirming kitten litter. Abandoned by their mother, these were surely dead ducks, nary a teat to stand on. Then a surrogate thought hit the shelterers: saucy Sadie.

A simple reach into the dead-cat-walking tank and Sadie was essentially back in nursing business. She took to the new load of young’uns like a lactating champ. Might she have smelled the writing on the “kill list” wall?

The new brood literally bounced back to life under Sadie’s well-practiced pampering. But, soon, even these kittens were off to their first days in adoption school. Sadie once again felt the multidirectional hand of fate carrying her back to the black cell of certainty.

However, back in the living realm, in wiggle more mouths to feed. This time what amounted to three preemies were handed over to the shelter. Pure pink, eyes yet unopened, the kittens looked more like baby possums than felines.

These were virtually hopeless cases, on the brink of flushability. But there was that one glimmer of hope only a few cells away. Could saucy Sadie somehow foster these pinkies?

For the third time, the now freakishly fickle hand of fate pulls the condemned cat from its cell. Placed in with the wigglers, Sadie all but bounded over to the newbies, meticulously licking the alien kittens clean and soon coaxing their eyes open. Whadda gal, that Sadie.

I wouldn’t write this if there wasn’t a quasihappy ending. Sadie has lactated her way into the hearts, minds and homes of rescuers. Although she’s still got a wild streak in her, it seems you can’t keep a good mom down.

Oh, by the way, the preemies came in on Mother’s Day. Continued on Page 30
