There Is No Perfect Democracy But Is It Time to Tweak Ours?

By LARRY SAVADOVE ere we go again – Round Three of our quadrennial Super Brawl.

First came the no-holds-barred primaries where the old adage that in America anyone can run for president was reaffirmed.

Then there was the main campaign where everybody throws money at battleground states.

And now we have the debates, with both the title-holder and the challenger well rehearsed and armed with zingers, ready to hurl accusations they know are only partially true and spout promises they know they can’t keep.

Ever wonder whether democracy may not be the best form of government after all?

Oh, I know, it’s ours and we gotta love it.

Winston Churchill said, “Democracy is the worst form of government there is … except for all the other forms.” But he was talking

H

Flood Plan Failures To the Editor: I read with interest the article that dealt with flooding in Stafford Township (“Stafford Engineers Present Plans to Alleviate Flooding,” 9/26). To understand the flooding situation in the southwestern area of Ocean Acres one must look at the history of the area.

The mayor and township committee in the early 1960s approved some 6,600 building lots in Ocean Acres with no more regard than if it were a minor subdivision of two or three lots. When asked at a public hearing why they were approving the creation of thousands of sites without requiring the developer to install improvements such as road paving, storm sewers, public water, sanitary sewers, curbs and sidewalks, the mayor stated that no one would build a house out there. They were selling the lots for investment purposes. The developer was originally allowed to install mix-in-place roads throughout Ocean Acres, i.e. gravel roads with liquid tar spread over the gravel and mixed in.

When we took control of the township committee in 1973, one of the first things we did was to file a lawsuit against the developer of Ocean Acres, the Riker Delaware Corp., and its bonding company.

In settlement of that suit, we forced them to pave the streets and install some concrete curbing, and we obtained title to two recreational sites: the beach area at Holiday Lake and 15 acres between Canal Street, Route 72 and Breakers Avenue, which includes the 7.5-acre unnamed drainage pond.

We then attempted to tackle the lack of storm drainage in what I believe was Section 10. We had a study done by thenTownship Engineer Ralph Engle. Mr. Engle’s report showed that the effect of any drainage improvements would be limited by the size of the culvert under Route 72, through which the overflow from the Canal Street drainage lake drains. We met opposition from the Pinelands Commission based on the harm that might be caused to the 5and 8-mile branch drainage area.

about parliamentary democracy, which is somewhat different than ours. In a parliamentary democracy, the party that wins the most seats in Parliament gets to pick the prime minister, which means it can get things done, at least for a while. It also means a party, once in, can hang in there far longer than in our system, where power can turn over every two years; our founding fathers wanted to ensure sure no single entity had a lock on power.

OK, until the lock turns out to be gridlock.

One argument for a parliamentary system is that it allows for more than two real parties, which means more points of view contribute to the government, which is why most other democracies that came along adopted it. And since many parties don’t have enough of a majority to ram things through alone, two or more must join, at least for a while, so compromise is a necessity.

We haven’t been able to maintain other parties for very long. Teddy Roosevelt was highly popular, but his Bull Moose Party wasn’t bully enough. Norman Thomas floated a Socialist Party that had many supporters but never had a chance, although it did introduce the idea of Social Security. Then there was Ross Perot a few years ago with a lot of practical sense on the budget and the national debt, but with all his smarts and charts he just wasn’t convincing enough.

Another argument in favor of a parliamentary system is that the party currently out of power is known as the loyal opposition, not the wrecking crew. It forms a “shadow cabinet” that actually comes up with alternatives to the ruling party’s proposals other than “no.” It lets voters know what they’ll get if the majority switches hands.

There is also a regular question period during which the prime minister comes before Parliament and takes questions from all members in open session, not just a one-way, once-a-year address.

Finally, when there is gridlock, the government is dissolved and a new election is held; no need to wait for the next scheduled one.

And, blissfully, no year-long campaigns.

So why don’t we try that?

One reason is that we’re so damned big.

When we were a strip of loosely related settlements along the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, things were much more manageable. As we grew by chips and chunks, each new piece had to be fitted somehow into the whole. We became a collection of semi-autonomous entities, united but still separate. We’re all Americans, but also Texans, New Yorkers and Californians, and proud of it.

When the British empire conquered much of the world, it didn’t allow subject Egyptians or Iraqis or Burmese or, for that matter, us into its governing bodies. There may have been several parties in Parliament, but they were all British. In the United States we became proud of our unity and, eventually, diversity.

As the theme song of that very all-American Continued on Page 8

Postseason Sarcasm – All in Good Fun

By ANTHONY DiSIPIO t’s good to have the Island back, isn’t it?

I probably don’t have enough time in as a year-round resident to make that statement, even if we did come to LBI for more than 20 years before we retired here. (I will never forget that conversation. Lovely wife: “I’d really like to live on LBI.” Me: “See if you can find something we can afford and we will.” Heh-heh, I thought. Darn if she didn’t find us a little Cape we could get a mortgage on that we’ll pay for the rest of our lives.) I can imagine that lifetime Islanders have a bit more credibility.

There is something about living here, though, something that cultivates a sort of irreverence, a tone of sarcasm in our responses.

I mean, we are one big Kahuna wave from oblivion, right? I used to teach about sea level and never gave it much thought. Stand at the 100th Street beach and look west and you’ll almost be able to touch the bay. Our house is 4 feet above sea level! It gives you a little edge when you call the Island your home, doesn’t it?

I

And it’s good to have once-a-week trash pickups, blinking lights and 45 mph speed limits (oh, boy!). And it’s good to have The SandPaper back to ourselves, with good stories again about nice people and dogs on the beach. I know Lucy the Lab and Jake the golden retriever are looking forward to those early-morning walks looking for sea glass.

Oh, there will always be a political story, especially in an election year. Hey, I’m not apathetic: I really worked hard for Eugene McCarthy. Somehow, though, the size of the waves, the location of the fish and dogs on the beach hold a slight edge on the worldly events.

We can get back to complaining about the summer guests during this “shoulder” season. I never knew the seasons at the beach were named after body parts. I guess there is the “heart” of summer to go along with the “shoulder” season we are in now – why shoulder and not elbow? I suppose January and February are known as the a…. But let’s Continued on Page 10

Taxpayers Duped To the Editor: Since December 2003 Barnegat Township has collected $1,919,493.20 for the Barnegat Open Space Recreation and Farmland and Historic Preservation Trust Fund. A penny has been added to every Barnegat resident’s real property valuation for a total of $1,919,493.20 based on a referendum vote in 2001 under the assumption it was to be used for open space land purchases to help curtail some of the rapidly building space in the township.

Fellow residents, you have been taken. This fund has been used for everything but open space.

With the partial exception of the Girkin property, now called Meadowlands Park, not one cent of this money was spent on open space. The Girkin property was partly paid for with $800,000 from a Green Acres grant and $400,000 from Open Space funds.

I would like you, the taxpayer and owner of this fund, to see how you have been duped into believing it’s for your own good. For example, from 2009 to 2012 boat rentals for the 4th of July and Pirates Day totaling $28,500 were charged to this fund, $5,171 for salt for roads, $9,774 for bleachers, $997 for Barnegat banners and $1,244 for landscaping city hall.

Much of the open space funds were spent on improvements to already owned football and softball fields on Lower Shore Road.

Why hasn’t the interest from the $1.9 million in trust appropriations been applied to the fund?

Why has the entire open space committee resigned?

Barnegat currently stands among the highest tax rates in Ocean County, and this type of spending is a large reason why. We must all work together to cut waste and see to it funds are not misdirected but used for the original intent – purchase of open space.

Ticket Traps To the Editor: I’d like to add my 2 cents on parking in Surf City.

I got a ticket for parking in an unmarked area of Long Beach Boulevard in Surf City this August. We had just moved to New Jersey from Pennsylvania, and on the recommendation of my boss, my family and I took our vacation in Surf City. The place where I parked would have been perfectly legal in Pennsylvania but not here. The police chief says this is all clearly explained in the New Jersey Driver’s Manual.

But you know what? Nobody handed me a copy of the manual when I drove into New Jersey! Let’s get real here. No one, not even New Jersey drivers, has memorized the manual. With no signs or other markings these no-parking zones are nothing more than unfair ticket traps.

The Surf City police chief knows this and the man is either incompetent or running a parking ticket scam. I don’t know if he falls into one of those categories or both of them.

What I do know is that my family and I will be vacationing is Ship Bottom or points south next summer.

Tom Armstrong Freehold, N.J.

Easement Untruths The following responds to a letter from Dorothy Jedziniak (“Coercion Continues,�

9/26).

Dear Dorothy: Your response to my beach replenishment letter (“Coercion Continues,� 9/26) states, “I have never met Mr. Hutson.� Again, almost everything you say is either not true or incorrect, as I have personally spoken to you and your husband, Ted, two or three times at meetings about beach replenishment.

Also, why do you incorrectly keep saying the government is trying to take your land?

What is it about an easement that you don’t understand? The easement you gave the electric company to come on your land so you have electric in your house does not give the electric company the right to take your land.

The beach replenishment easement also only lets the government put sand on the beach and then leave, not take your property. The beach replenishment saves you and your neighbor’s houses from washing into the ocean. Is this too hard to understand?

You also state, “We continue to ask that there be a time frame for the work to be accomplished, and once that is done we are more than willing to sign.� Dorothy, there is a time frame. Congress has authorized this project for 50 years with seven-year replenishment cycles. So please sign the easement, as you state you will do.

If you really love Long Beach Island as you say, please stop saying such untrue and incorrect nonsense about the much-needed beach replenishment.

Bill Hutson Beach Haven Inlet/Holgate

To the Editor: In response to “Coercion Continues�

(9/26), I would ďŹ rst like to state that it has been my professional experience that solutions to complex issues are most readily solved through respectful personal communication, rather than verbal jousts in the editorial pages.

Beach replenishment is certainly a contentious issue, in which the rights of oceanfront homeowners must be balanced against the protection of the entire community. This has been a long process and certainly many legitimate concerns have been raised by oceanfront homeowners.

In response, the Long Beach Township mayor has worked hard to address these issues and has obtained written documentation from the Army Corps as to the legitimate uses of the easements. I would refer the reader to Mr. Hutson’s excellent summation (“Easement Fallacies,â€? 8/22), which speciďŹ cally addresses these issues (bathrooms, access and boardwalks, etc). SufďŹ ce it to say the document explicitly details that the easements are to be Continued on Page 13

Continued from Page 6 TV show “Bonanzaâ€? put it, “If anyone ďŹ ghts any one of us, he’s gotta ďŹ ght us allâ€? (an idea we’re still trying to impart to the United Nations). Sure, divisions remain: north-south, east-west, town-country, labor-management.

But we also managed to get a sense of unity along the way.

Except, apparently, in politics. The gap now between the parties is more threatening than any geographical or social division.

Everyone says the system doesn’t work; it’s broken. As we grew to be the world’s dominant “empire,� we realized that everybody had to be a part of the system if it was to work.

Each party had its own liberal and conservative wing. Extremists were tolerated but not pandered to.

What’s broken is our mutual trust, our standard of truth and fair play, our feeling of belonging to something greater. What remains is anger and violence. Where we once thought we were the world’s “last great hope,� we now have retreated into iron fortresses, shut off from one another.

How long before even within those bastions of division we turn on one another over the deďŹ nitions of liberty and justice and for all?

There is probably no such thing as a perfect democracy. In ancient Athens you had to be a property owner to vote. In Rome a senate of the elite ruled, until they gave it over to Julius Caesar. There is no question that you can accomplish more with a dynastic monarchy or a military junta or a so-called people’s democratic republic with only one party such as in China or North Korea. These end sooner or later but only after a lot of unnecessary grief and unavoidable destruction.

Democracies require differences and debates and keeping your eye on the ball. It takes practice.

Continued from Page 6 In 1978, New Jersey passed the Clean Water Act, which effectively stopped building in Ocean Acres and rendered the lack of proper storm drainage in Section 10 moot.

Subsequently, the succeeding mayor and township council compounded the problem by installing sanitary sewers and city water in Ocean Acres at the ratepayers’ expense of some $60 million. This allowed the building of thousands more houses, gave the developers of the housing another free ride and brought back the flooding problem in full fruition.

A few years ago, the township acquired an individual lot on Forecastle Avenue, where it installed underground recharge pipes at substantial cost without any observable effect on flooding. Now it wants to spend another $2.3 million on another scheme to alleviate flooding in Section 10 – a drop in the bucket when compared with the $60 million spent by the township to give another generation of developers another

Continued from Page 6 get back on topic.

Summer letters to the editor are always a treat to read, especially when the “guests” get upset at our Island sense of humor and how we deal with them. There was an especially amusing letter this summer from someone who was responding to a letter that had been written about driving in the left lane – one of the few “laws” we have here on the Island. You can get all the Island laws from the large electric sign stationed outside Long Beach Township offices at 68th Street in Brant Beach. Last summer we had the speed-limit-is-now-35-mph-change law, the cross-at-the-crosswalk law, the bikeriders-must-obey-the-same-laws-as-drivers law, and the left-lane-is-for-passing-only law.

Not too many laws, plus no one seems to obey them. I’m thinking that if I want someone to ignore something important, I’m going to try to get it on that sign. That, for those of you following along, is Island sarcasm.

Our summer guests feel often that they are “on vacation” and these laws shouldn’t apply to them, and ruin their vacation. So, one of our “locals” complained in a letter about driving in the left lane, using it as a cruising lane. The writer did a great job, I thought, especially in concluding that he was staying indoors until all of the visitors left. You got it: more Island humor.

A response was printed the next week from a “Bennie forever” that began with one sentence about the driving-in-the-left-lane law and then proceeded to discuss how instead of obeying the law, the law writer should pay more attention to “kids laughing and playing in the sand.” Hey, I like kids as much as the next guy

free ride at our expense.

The roads on Mallard Island flood at least 10 to 15 times as often as any streets in Ocean Acres. The roads there flood with every exceptionally high tide caused by northeast offshore winds and the effects of global warming. Not only do the roads flood, but they stay flooded for weeks because the higher adjacent land prevents runoff from the streets, and there are no storm drains. The flooding problem could be substantially alleviated by raising the streets on Mallard Island by 12 inches, with 8-inch cross drains installed every 30 feet. This work could be done for far less than the $2.3 million proposed to be spent in Ocean Acres on top of the $60 million already spent there.

I have appeared at three council meetings in an attempt to discuss this problem.

I got absolutely no reaction whatsoever.

Perhaps they didn’t realize that Mallard Island is part of Stafford Township. I then sent them individual certified letters. Again, nothing.

Lou Raupp Manahawkin The writer has resided in Stafford Township for 50 years.

– got two myself. But I sorta miss the logic of the argument, ya know what I mean? What does disobeying a law have to do with kids playing and laughing in the sand? Sometimes I think maybe the sun gets too hot for some of our guests while they are sitting in those huge circles on the beach (Island humor).

The argument made me think about a philosophy class I had a long time ago. Philosophy is the study of reason and logic, not a study of the Phillies, a team whose erratic play defies reason and logic. The professor I had looked like Rasputin and skidded nervously across the room from side to side from 7 to 9:30 every Tuesday night. It was an experience. One night he was discussing logic tables and how logic could be used to arrive at “untruths.” You have to love those philosophy guys and untruths. He said that often lawyers have a way to use this strategy in the courtroom – hey, I’m just telling you what he said.

He gave us this example: God is love.

Love is blind.

Ray Charles is blind.

Ergo (love that word), Ray Charles is God. You know, that might even make more sense than the argument that laws shouldn’t be obeyed because we need to spend more time listening to the kids laughing in the sand at the beach.

Hopefully, we’ll see you as the dogs and I walk along the beach. But we will never go until Oct. 1, because that’s the law.

47 Percent Question To the Editor: People keep talking about the 47 percent that pay no taxes. I’d love to know how you qualify.

As a self-employed contractor in business 52 years, I paid taxes every year but one. That year I qualified for earned income and my kids, free lunch. But I still paid Social Security tax and 100 percent of my IRA retirement money for that year.

You have to pay into Social Security up until you exceed $100,000 in income. Someone earning say $13 million doesn’t pay beyond $100,000 and actually pays less in proportion to earnings than I did.

Now 70 years old and just retired, I pay taxes on my IRA money as I take it out. And guess what? Part of my Social Security is taxable also. I have no corporate jet deduction, limo and driver and never took customers out to lunch at the golf course clubhouse.

Yeah, I guess maybe I am a 47 percent dependent. But I’m also a Vietnam vet. I didn’t get a draft deferment while in college, as one presidential candidate did.

Certainly there are differing opinions on beach replenishment, however it should be clearly stated that the commissioners of Long Beach Township firmly support beach replenishment, as we believe it is in the best long-term interest of the community. However, we are also sensitive to the concerns of oceanfront homeowners and continue to encourage further dialogue with our residents.

n Sunday, Oct. 7, swarms of runners will take to the Island to commemorate the lives lost in the terrorist attacks at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, Germany and at the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. The LBI 18 Mile Run is a cherished tradition, 40 years running.

Posted along the route, the length of the Island from Holgate to Barnegat Light, mile markers are dedicated to the 11 Israeli athletes killed in Munich and three LBI residents who died on 9/11.

The event is sponsored by St. Francis Community Center in Brant Beach, in cooperation with the LBI Jewish Community Center, and funded partly by a grant from the Ocean County Board of Freeholders. The JCC also donates the trophy upon which the winner’s name is inscribed.

“The sense of community that this race generates is second to none,” said race director Mike Thompson. “The race utilizes the entire Island with volunteers from every part of Long Beach Island and mainland communities.”

According to the center’s communications coordinator Lori Dudek, an average of about 800 runners participate each year. Proceeds from registrations benefit the St. Francis community.

Members of the local running community speak about the annual event with a tone of reverence, describing the arduous yet exhilarating journey as a challenge and a thrill. Runners’ families, friends and local supporters line the route, their cheers of encouragement urging the runners onward. The distance is a unique chalOcean County Retired Educators Assn.

40 YEARS RUNNING: The annual Long Beach Island 18 Mile Run, commemorating those who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks at the 1972 Olympics, is set for this Sunday, Oct. 7. lenge, partway between a half (13.1-mile) and a full (26.2-mile) marathon. The flat Island landscape and the cool October air lend considerable relief, but a funny thing happens at about mile 14, when Barnegat Lighthouse becomes visible in the distance, seeming at once to be reassuringly near, yet impossibly far, and therein lies the psychological game every runner learns to play.

Registration is still open at raceforum. com/LBI, in person at St. Francis Center or by downloading the entry form at stfranciscenterlbi.org. Registration will also be held on Oct. 6 from 2 to 8 p.m. and on the morning of the race, from 7 to 9:30 a.m. The fee is $35 until Sept. 30, and $45 thereafter. The official start time is 10:30 a.m. —V.L.

Lizzie Borden: Innocent or Guilty?

O

ne of America’s most notorious double murders is the theme for “Axed: Lizzie Borden and the 40 Whacks,” which will be presented at three Ocean County Library branches this month.

Members of the Monmouth County-based Nine Theatricals will re-enact this true crime thriller presenting Lizzie, the maid and several other suspects who share what they were doing that day when the murders were committed in August 1892 in Fall River, Mass. While Borden was found innocent in a court of law of the murder of her parents, the public developed her into a legend as the most notorious murderer of her time.

Bob Lamb, theater company president, said the play was written by theater group member Claudia DeAngelo. The program will be presented at the Barnegat branch Tuesday, Oct. 9, at 7 p.m.; Little Egg Harbor branch Wednesday, Oct. 17, at 7 p.m.; and Long Beach Island branch, Wednesday, Oct. 24, at 10 a.m.

“She was interested in doing this because this year marked the 120th anniversary of the murders,” he said.

Linda Turash, director of the interactive production, said all the audience members would part of a “super sleuth society” who gather to discuss baffling crimes. Turash, who will portray Detective McQuade, will serve as narrator.

“We will also hear from actors portraying players and prosecutors,” she said. “At the end of the program, the audience will be polled as to whom they believe committed the killings. We’re curious how their reaction will be because this is a production we have not staged yet.”

Time for Oysters And Chicken Salad

T

he Kynett United Methodist Church in Beach Haven will continue a more than 45-year tradition when it serves a fried oyster and chicken salad dinner on Saturday, Oct. 6. Takeout orders will be available from 4 to 5 p.m.; dinner will be served in the dining hall from 5 to 7 p.m. Tickets are $17 for adults and $7 for children.

“The entrée combination of fried oysters and chicken salad is unusual, but it is a favorite in this seashore community,” said Diane Marshall, dinner coordinator.

She said the dinner includes baked potatoes, vegetables, coleslaw, rolls, coffee or tea, and dessert. People also have the option of ordering just fried oysters or chicken salad.

“This is around the time of year when a lot of our members will soon be getting ready to close their home for the offseason, so this may be the last chance for some people to get together,” said Marshall.

“Then we have the dinner again in the spring when they start coming back.”

She said proceeds cover general church expenses. For information, call the church office at 609-492-0421. —E.E.

He said the proceeds go to the company’s general expenses.

“We always have to look at updating our equipment, and we have various maintenance costs throughout the year,” he said.

For more information, call the fire company nonemergency line at 609-494-9169. —E.E. Regional Student Council hosts the event to benefit the Hugs for Brady Foundation. Cost: adult, $8; child or Southern student, $5. 9-11 am.

New Frights For Halloween

N

ext weekend, a new wholesome, haunted holiday extravaganza called Operation Halloween comes to the Joseph A. Citta Scout Reservation in Brookville.

The spook-tacular, family-friendly, two-day event is set for Friday, Oct. 12, from 3 to 10 p.m., and Saturday, Oct. 13, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Operation Halloween, a first of its kind, is organized and presented by the Rotary Club of Southern Ocean County along with the Boy Scouts of America’s Jersey Shore Council and other area community groups. The weekend offers a variety of age-appropriate ways to celebrate Halloween, including the “Ghost Manor” hayride, “Pumpkin Street” safe trick-or-treat walk, midnight ghost tour and “Zombie Outbreak” maze and funhouse. Admission is free, but a $10 Access Ticket buys the hayride, ghost tour and maze for each day.

Guests can expect to find plenty of food, displays and demonstrations, pumpkin painting and other seasonal activities. About 100 actors comprise the cast of creepy characters who will elicit startled squeals and gasps of delight in the dark of night. A note to parents: While the trick-or-treating and hayride are gentle enough for general audiences, the zombie maze has a fear factor that may not be suitable for youngsters.

Rotarian Jeff Gamble said the organizers and volunteers hope to make it an annual event that dovetails with the annual Pine Barrens Jamboree, taking place the same weekend at nearby Wells Mills County Park in Waretown. He estimated 200 or so volunteers have been working hard since summertime to pull it off.

“It’s amazing how this whole thing came together,” he said. The funhouse, for instance, is being built by engineers from the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station. Church youth groups have lent their hands, and the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce contributed $1,000 to the project.

The event benefits the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts, high school Interact clubs, the Interfaith Hospitality Network, local food banks and other nonprofit groups, through Access Ticket sales and other fundraising efforts.

T

he Eagleswood Country Fair is a townwide tradition that draws the whole community together for a funfilled day of autumn sights, sounds and flavors, with plenty of activities for the whole family.

This Saturday, Oct. 6 (rain date Sunday, Oct. 7), the Eagleswood Township Recreation Committee sponsors its 16th annual Country Fair, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days, on Railroad Avenue and Division Street surrounding the municipal building.

The fair grows every year, according to Recreation Committee secretary Sherry Cummings, thanks in large part to donations of prizes, equipment and time from many local merchants and organizations. Now more than ever, with so many great community events taking place throughout the year, the committee actively emphasizes the need for volunteer members to help with planning, logistics and facilitation.

“If people knew how much fun it is to plan and participate in these events, I think more people would volunteer,” she said. “My dream is that it will be as popular as the Cranberry Festival in Chatsworth one day.”

Beginning at 10 a.m., fairgoers can enjoy a craft show presented by the Eagleswood Historical Society, classic car and truck displays, and exhibits from local community organizations.

Children will light up at the chance for a pony ride (courtesy of Ponies for Parties), fun and games with Sprinkles the Clown and several inflatable amusements from Amazing Amusements. They can also delight at tromping through a pumpkin patch, selecting and decorating their favorite gourd for Halloween; making sand art with Yvonne Theme Parties; exploring the FUN Bus; getting a new look with Smarty’s Face Painting; and climbing aboard the Silvi Group’s cement mixer for a complimentary picture in the driver’s seat.

Pat Disanzo from DJ Delights Entertainment will keep everyone dancing and entertained throughout the day.

Throughout the day, take a guess at the ongoing candy counting contest, belly up for the pie eating contest at 1:30 p.m., enter the cranberry muffin baking contest (homemade entries only – bring muffins to the Rec table by noon), judging at 1 p.m.

Wicked Rides Car Club as well as private owners will display vintage cars, trucks and tractors.

Other attractions and vendors include a selection of chrysanthemums from Sandy T’s Garden Center, the giant metal mosquito mascot of the Ocean County Mosquito Commission and food from Kelly’s Deli and Country Dogs as well as many other community and nonprofit organizations.

Eagleswood Mayor Debra Rivas said this year’s fair promises more vendors, crafters and participants than ever before.

et revved for the 13th annual Motorcycle Toy Run, set for Sunday, Oct. 7. Be a part of the excitement as 800 motorcyclists gather, mingle, donate to families in need for the holidays and, finally, fire their engines in unison as they head out on a scenic, 65-mile ride through the Pinelands.

Registration begins at 10:30 a.m. in the parking lot on Route 9 at Southern Regional High School in Manahawkin. The cost to register is $10 per rider, plus one new, unwrapped toy valued at $10 for a child in need – no plush toys or stuffed animals. (In particular, gifts are needed for teen boys and girls, ages 13 to 18.) The first 800 registrants will receive a commemorative pin.

During the registration process, entertainment and refreshments are provided, while participants wander up and down the long aisles of bikes, admiring each other’s wheels and trading tales of roads and rallies.

At 12:30, the signal is given for all the bikes to start. Then they neatly file out of the lot and onto Route 9 south, proceeding to Route 72 west. Motorcycle police escorts from Ocean, Monmouth, Atlantic and Burlington counties, plus the State Police, will accompany the run and control traffic at key intersections along the way.

The ride concludes at St. Mary’s Parish Center on McKinley Avenue in Manahawkin, for lunch, music and camaraderie.

The Toy Run Foundation distributes the collected toys to families throughout Southern Ocean County, in Stafford, Long Beach Island, Forked River, Waretown, Barnegat and Tuckerton. Some leftover toys are dropped off at the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, Family Protection Unit, which is the lead law enforcement agency that investigates crimes involving child abuse and neglect. Still more toys go to Operation Santa Claus at Fort Dix, which is the organization that distributes toys to the children of deployed soldiers. The organization visits Community Medical Center in Toms River with Santa and Mrs. Claus, distributing toys in the pediatric, emergency and minor treatment units. The foundation also supports local charity events throughout the year and raises funds for scholarships for students of Southern Regional and Barnegat high schools.

Enjoy ‘Purple Party’ At SC Firehouse

N

ine years ago, Manahawkin resident Andrew Warren lost his father to pancreatic cancer. Last summer, his best friend, Michael Murray, died of the disease at age 52. Warren’s hope is that people in future generations won’t have to suffer the same fate, so he is organizing a “Purple Party” for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network on Saturday, Oct. 13, from 6 to 10 p.m. at the Surf City Firehouse.

Tickets are $25 per person and include pig roast, hot and cold buffet, soda, bottled water, coffee and iced tea. Ted Hammock and Surrender Darcy will be providing live entertainment.

“We’ll also be having door prizes,” said Warren. “I’m very grateful for the support of local business.”

Warren said that in researching pancreatic cancer, he noted that of the 44,000 people diagnosed with the disease each year, 75 percent do not survive longer than six months. He also said the disease accounts for only 2 percent of the funds raised annually for cancer research.

“You have varieties of cancer that can be treated if there is early detection,” he said.

“Unfortunately, many times when someone is diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, the disease has reached the point where it is too late to stop it.”

Warren said he was also holding the event to continue the tradition of the “Rainbow Party,” which Laura Say had conducted for 15 years on National Cancer Survivor’s Day. A Barnegat Light resident and Hodgkin’s lymphoma survivor, Say discontinued the event this year due to dwindling volunteer help and other logistical problems. During its 15-year run, she said, it raised approximately $250,000 for the Bodine Center for Cancer Research in Philadelphia.

Say said she is glad to assist Warren with the event, which is being co-chaired by Diane Hoover, who was a good friend of Murray.

Say said pancreatic cancer is hard to detect because there is no known blood work that can pinpoint the disease.

“My oncologist’s wife died of pancreatic cancer,” she said. “If it can happen to her, it can happen to anyone.”

The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network web site calls it a “silent disease” because symptoms are not present in the early stages.

“Many patients have advanced disease by the time it becomes noticeable to the patient and doctors,” it says. “If symptoms are present, they are often vague. Patients may experience different symptoms depending on the location, type and stage of the tumor.

Symptoms that commonly lead to diagnosis include jaundice, back and/or abdominal pain, diabetes, unexplained weight loss and loss of appetite.”

Warren said tickets are available at the Surf City Pharmacy and Sure Rehab in Barnegat Light.

Dolls Take on New Life As Custom Objects of Art Published in Doll Magazine, Artsy Soul Owner Teaches Craft

By PAT JOHNSON oll artist and sculptor Colleen Calquhoun-Athens is not surprised when people notice the resemblance between her and the pretty, feminine dolls she creates. “I think it has to happen because you have been looking at yourself in the mirror your whole life and when you sculpt, that’s what’s in your mind. The sculpture is going to be part of you.”

In August, Calquhoun-Athens opened a new shop in Manahawkin, Artsy Soul, dedicated to her love of doll making and to fostering the art in others.

The shop is a treasure trove of tiny, girly, bling: charms and sparkly what-knots that f ind their way onto doll costumes.

She also sells the paper clay that her dolls are made of in all flesh tones.

“She sells Fairy Skin,” said her sister, Kim Murdan. “What?

I think it’s fun,” she said to her sister’s disapproving frown, and then produced the package of pinkcolored Fairy Skin paper clay.

And her dolls do have a fairylike quality to them. The faces are flawlessly sculpted on a wire armature connected to the separate body, arms and legs that Calquhoun-Athens wires together. Then she handmakes the gauzy, glitzy dresses that are meant to describe the personality of the doll.

“Each doll tells a story. They are holding something or doing something, and the charms on their dress tells a story.”

For one example, her doll titled “Girl Interrupted” was sculpted with her daughter Taylor in mind. “She

D

was going through a phase, some teen angst. And so I made a charm doll that incorporates things from her life. One of the charms is made from a playbill when she was in a play. And her outfit reflects her taste – the leopard boots – and she’s holding her cat. Taylor is a bit of a princess, and her crown reflects that.”

The artist also likes to incorporate hats on all her dolls.

A doll sculpted with her friend Allison in mind wears a cake for a hat. “She loves cakes and candy, so she’s holding some fudge. And she’s African-American, so she has dreads.”

Calquhoun-Athens taught herself how to make the types of dolls she creates today. “I started about five years ago. I was always an arts and crafts type person, always making something out of nothing.”

“When she was young, she used to make dolls out of flour and water,” said her sister.

Her favorite doll when she was growing up was Thumbelina, said Calquhoun-Athens. “I got it for Christmas and by nightfall it was all beat-up from my loving it too much,” she laughed.

Though she says her dolls are not yet being collected, CalquhounAthens was featured in the June/July

2012 issue of Art Doll Magazine. “I really am more of a teacher. I love to share my knowledge.”

Calquhoun-Athens is positive she can teach anyone to make dolls as beautiful as her own, but suggests taking a class in “charm school” to get started in the process. The class in making the artsy charms that adorn the dolls is held every Friday night from 5 to 8 p.m. in the studio at Artsy Soul and the $20 fee includes materials. Walk-ins are welcome.

“I’ve already met a lot of nice people,” said the artist, “people who are creative and looking for something to do.” Thursday nights are open-studio nights when people who have taken a class can drop in and work on their projects under her supervision, free of charge.

Some of the charms she makes are cut from soda cans that are covered in resin, or from paper that is puffed up with foam and finished with vintage findings. “I love to manipulate things to create other things.”

For Halloween, Calquhoun-Athens is offering a Halloween Doll Sculpture class of a pretty doll wearing pumpkin-colored trousers and wearing a pumpkin hat.

“It’s a good intro to doll making,” said the artist. “The best thing about working with paper clay is it air-dries; you don’t need a kiln.

“A doll is just another form of art,” she added. “You get to pour all the things you know about art into the human form, something everyone can relate to.”

Calquhoun-Athens is offering a slew of creative classes through the fall in doll and ornament making, and also bookbinding and journal making

Tuckerton Hires New Administrator, Second in History Gleghorn Kin to Little Egg’s Administrator

T

uckerton Borough Deputy Clerk Jenny Gleghorn was appointed borough administrator at the Oct. 1 regular municipal meeting. Gleghorn has worked for the borough since 2001. She will receive an additional stipend of $10,000 added to her $42,000 base salary.

Gleghorn’s family was on hand for the swearing-in, and her grandfather, Earl Sutton, stood to say he had started his own career in the very same building when it was the Tuckerton National Bank.

“In 1955 I came to work in the bank building and how fitting that my eldest granddaughter is now the borough administrator. My office was right back there where the clerk’s office (Jenny’s) is but I first started as a bank teller. On my first day, Virginia Steinhower said to me, ‘Earl, today everybody in town will be here, half to make a deposit or other bank business and the other half will be here to see what you look like.’ And they were; there was a line around the outside of the building.”

Gleghorn is not the only business administrator in the family, noted Sutton; her uncle Garrett Loesch is the business administrator for neighboring Little Egg Harbor Township.

This is only the second business administrator position in the borough’s history. The first was hired in February 2004 and was let go in December of the same year.

After congratulating Gleghorn, Mayor Buck Evans suggested she take the rest of the night off to celebrate with her family, but Gleghorn declined and stayed at her post for the rest of the meeting’s business.

On the advise of the borough attorney, Terry Brady, the council tabled an ordinance to accept a parcel of land on Parker Road in lieu of $2,000 taxes owed. Brady said that since the ordinance was introduced, an adjacent property owner expressed an interest in buying the property from

the owner. If that occurs, it would go back on the tax roles and would be simpler and cheaper then the borough taking title.

Councilman Ryan Short introduced an ordinance setting fees the borough will charge for cutting and removing weeds and other “obnoxious growth,” or trash and dead or dying trees from neglectful property owners. The fees vary but start with the code enforcement supervisor at $125 an hour, public works foreman at $32 an hour, laborer/driver at $20.65 per hour and lawn mowing between $8.50 an hour for a push mower or weed whacker and $24 an hour for a riding mower.

“The residents have asked for this,” said Evans, “and we need the ordinance in place to be able to move forward.” If adopted the borough could do the work once a complaint is made and the owner fails to correct the problem within a 10-day grace period. If the owner doesn’t pay the bill, then it becomes a tax lien on the property. A public hearing on the ordinance is Oct. 15.

On the plus side, Evans remarked that the thousands of visitors who came through Tuckerton for the Sept.

29-30 Ocean County Decoy and Gunning Show found the town clean and attractive. He also thanked the fire company and police department for their help in traffic control during the annual Run for the Fallen on Saturday.

Councilman John Schwartz said he has found the American flags and brackets that were installed on telephone poles along Main Street for a few years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Schwartz said he has repainted the brackets and is preparing for public works to reinstall them a week before appropriate holidays, such as Veterans Day. “We may not have as many but we will put out as many as we can,” said Schwartz.

Councilman Jim Edwards said he is preparing to meet with borough

Edwards said Tuckerton is the only town he knows of that continues to pick up from commercial properties, and that it is becoming “cost prohibitive.”

“We’re at a crossroads and we have to make a serious decision,” said Edwards.

Councilwoman Sue Marshall announced there are a number of borough cleanup days on the October calendar. On Saturday, Oct. 13 the Tuckerton Environmental Commission is meeting to clean up the waterways. The Barnegat Bay Blitz is happening at the Seaport on Thursday, Oct. 18.

Because of the ongoing dam construction on Route 9, the annual Halloween Parade will again be contained to the grounds of the Tuckerton Seaport on Oct. 27, starting at 2:30 p.m.

Construction of the dam now includes repairs to the spillway that runs under the town’s historic Grist Mill, since a sinkhole developed in the sidewalk in July. Schwartz said the state’s archeologist is due to finish his report and then the repairs can move forward.

Tuckerton Police Chief Michael Caputo said the Take Back New Jersey event on Saturday, Sept. 29, when folks could drop off their out-of-date prescription drugs at the police station, netted three garbage bags full.

“That’s 38 pounds of prescription drugs that didn’t go in the garbage or down the sewer,” he said.

Caputo also said Officer Toni Carbone has completed her DARE officer training and will be meeting with the Tuckerton Elementary School superintendent and principal to integrate the program. “She’s ready and eager to go,” said Caputo.

Councilman Tony Foglia, chair of the council’s law and safety committee, said his committee met with the Tuckerton Fire Company to discuss protocols for tones for their emergency responder truck, and he asked if everything was to the mayor’s satisfaction. Foglia said he reached out to the borough’s EMS service, Great Bay Regional EMS (Squad 85), but did not receive a reply. “Everything’s ready to go,” said Foglia.

Former Coach: Artificial Turf Field Still Is Not Ready

A

former Junior Bengals football coach complained to the Barnegat Township Committee Monday night that the multi-sport artifical turf field at Lower Shore Road “is not close to be being done,” and the town should have opted for a natural grass surface instead.

Earlier this year, the township used $28,000 from Open Space funds to have the turf shipped from the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. Steve Cotton, president of the Junior Bengals, said the turf had served as the playing field for Nav y/ Ma r i ne Cor ps Memor ial Stadium, where the Navy Midshipmen football team plays its home games. Cotton, who himself is a

turf contractor, told the township he would install it free of charge by using volunteer help. The township also spent approximately $100,000 for drainage and a concrete base for the field, which could be used for football, soccer and lacrosse.

Adorno, who is also a member of the board of education, said he “doesn’t see anybody working there.”

“He (Cotton) was saying during the summer that it would be installed in time for the Junior Bengals season,” said Adorno during the public portion of the meeting. “Right now there are only three weeks left in our season. There were supposed to be all these volunteers out there working every day. I know that Steve has

installed fields and he knows how to lay them out, but he can’t get the help that he needs. This is embarrassing.”

Adorno noted some pieces of artificial turf would have to be repaired, saying they got ripped when they were unloaded off a truck.

He said the in the meantime, the league plays its games on the old field nearby.

“We could have had a landscaper put in a beautiful field with sod and grass that would be easier to maintain,” said Adorno. “We could have had it already by now. I really have no confidence in the turf project. It looks like it will be sitting around there through the winter.”

Adorno said the project delay

“hurts the integrity of the league.”

“We had a program than once drew more than 125 kids,” he said.

“Now we can’t even get 70.”

Contacted later, Cotton, who is currently Junior Bengals president, said he and volunteers have been spending most of their time coaching the youngsters since practices started late in the summer.

“We’re doing that practically every day,” he said. “Rafael certainly knows that. Once our season is over, then we can get back to work installing the artificial turf field. When it is all done, we’ll have a field the town can be real proud of.”

Aerial Truck Ready to Go In Barnegat

L

ate last month, the Barnegat Volunteer Fire Company welcomed its newest addition: a 45-foot long aerial truck.

The $700,000 vehicle was purchased as part of a $2.2 million bond ordinance adopted by the township committee in 2011. The ordinance also included several vehicles for the police department and first aid squad.

“We really had to keep up to date with our public safety equipment,” said Mayor Al Cirulli, who is fi re department and fi rst aid squad liaison.

“Our residents deserve to have the best vehicles we can have to ensure very prompt response times.”

The truck will be housed at the fi re company’s substation on Barnegat Boulevard near the West Bay Avenue intersection.

Fire Chief Michael Moore said the 500-horsepower vehicle’s centerpiece is a 150-foot extension ladder.

“While we don’t have any 100foot tall buildings in town, the ladder can be stretched out more horizontally so we can get quick access to buildings that are set back from the road,” said Moore. “We would need that in case we have an incident at the Brackman Middle School, the high school or our condos along the bay area.”

Assistant Chief Scott Dougherty said the truck could also be used on a mutual aid call, such as at Southern Ocean Medical Center in Stafford Township.

“Walters Homes is building some new apartment complexes, so the truck could be needed there as well,” he said. “We’re just trying to keep up with the growth of the community.”

Grant Funds Environmental Stewardship

Rocket Composter ‘Launches’ in LBI School District T

he composting has begun!

Students, staff and community members gathered at the Ethel A. Jacobsen Elementary School in Surf City last Friday morning for the official unveiling of the Long Beach Island Consolidated School District’s A500 Rocket Composter, funded by a $28,500 grant from the State Farm Youth Advisory Board via a service learning project focused on environmental responsibility.

Students will collect and recycle food waste from the district’s breakfast and lunch program to compost and subsequently place on the vegetable, landscape and rain gardens on the school grounds.

“The students in the school district and the community at large will benefit greatly from the purchase,” said Carol Laird, who teaches the district’s academically talented program and collaborated on the grant submission with Long Beach Township Recycling Coordinator Angela Contillo Andersen.

The school district is the fi rst in Ocean County and only the third in New Jersey to earn a grant for the A500 Rocket Composter.

“The Ocean County Landfill is filling up quickly, and composting provides a great way for our schools to not only reduce greenhouse gases and the amount of waste that needs to be disposed of, but also of converting leftover food into a product that is useful for the nurturing of the school gardens,” said Superintendent Karen McKeon.

“As composting eliminates the need for fertilizers, it also addresses the Island-wide problem of stormwater runoff when nutrients run down storm drains directly into bordering bay waters.

“Composting will reduce the amount of waste that needs to be hauled away to a landfill and thus reduces the cost of such waste removal,” she noted. “In addition, it also reduces the cost of expen-

sive school landscaping and will provide nutrients to the school’s gardens.”

As Laird pointed out last fall, when the district learned of the grant award, the composting effort will also help students become aware of organic waste as a potential resource, as well as demonstrate how they can make a difference in the community and have a positive effect on the environment.

Composting confronts the matter of solid waste, and “provides a way to instill in our children a sense of environmental stewardship,” said Laird. “Our educational programs already focus on reducing, reusing and recycling our solid wastes. Composting fits in with this idea but takes it a step beyond.

“With composting,” she added, “children can do more than recycling cans, plastic bottles and newspapers. They can see the entire cycle, from their own food scraps to something that is pleasant to handle and good for growing their own vegetables.”

First-grade teacher Kelly Turner noted on Tuesday, “The students have been learning about composting since the beginning of the school year. They separate their food, after they eat lunch, to be placed in the composter.

“They are very excited to be part of such a wonderful experience that is exclusive to our school in Ocean County!”

Board of Education President Allyn Kain said the Friday unveiling was exciting and well-attended by members of the community, as well as all the district’s pre-kindergarten through sixth-grade students and staff. She is impressed by the composter and its educational benefit to the school. “It’s really neat. I think it’s a wonderful learning tool for the students.

“Kudos all around.”

Long Beach Island Grade School Still For Sale; Classes Continue ‘Status Quo’

T

he start of the school year in the Long Beach Island Consolidated School District featured a few changes – the pre-kindergarten and third grade switched buildings, and the Board of Education office moved from the Ethel Jacobsen Elementary School in Surf City to the LBI School in Ship Bottom – but there has been no change in regard to the sale of the LBI School, which has been on the market for a year.

“It’s status quo,” school board President Allyn Kain said last Friday.

“People do call now and then,” but this has not led to any serious movement toward a purchase of the property.

The school was put on the market in early October 2011; the property required a minimum bid of

$9.5 million, but the district did not receive any bids by its deadline. In the months following, according to Superintendent Karen McKeon, the board of education met with prospective buyers, but with no result.

Last year, the school board authorized selling the LBI School, in Ship Bottom, “through public auction or negotiations as well as the solicitation of a commercial realtor,” as stated in the resolution for the sale. The board’s intention is to sell that school and subsequently renovate and expand the Ethel A. Jacobsen School in Surf City, which will then house all of the district’s approximately 238 students, from Barnegat Light, Harvey Cedars, Long Beach Township, Ship Bottom and Surf City. (Beach Haven has its

own school for kindergarten through sixth grade in that borough.)

The project – which is selffunded and not a referendum – was recommended in a feasibility study conducted by LAN Associates, commissioned by the board after consideration of declining enrollment in the district.

If the district enters into a contract for the sale of the LBI School property, the architectural firm Dicara Rubino will design an addition to the E.J. School based on the amount of the transaction.

As school began this September, faculty, staff and parents were managing the move of the pre-kindergarteners to the E.J. School and the thirdgraders to the LBI School – unrelated

Downtown Barnegat Accident Injures Three Three people were injured last week in a three-car accident that also damaged a downtown Barnegat Township business.

Lt. Keith Germain said that on Sept. 26 at 2:15 p.m., a 2004 Honda Civic driven by Mary Ross, 84, of Barnegat was traveling north on Route 9 when she attempted to make a left turn onto West Bay Avenue. While turning, she drove in front of a 1997 Dodge Ram operated by Richard Calkins II, 31, of Little Egg Harbor Township, who was headed south on Route 9.

The impact forced Calkins’ vehicle off the road and struck Barnegat Antiques, located at 349 Route 9. Germain said the store sustained minor damage but was allowed to stay open after inspectors from the township construction office determined it was structurally sound.

Germain said Ross’ vehicle spun around after the collision and struck a 2001 Chevrolet Malibu being operated by Kim McAllister, 63, of Manahawkin. McAllister’s car was driving behind Ross on Route 9 north.

The lieutenant said Ross, Calkins and a 23-year-old passenger in McAllister’s vehicle were all transported to Southern Ocean Medical Center for treatment of minor injuries. He said Ross was issued a summons for failure to yield to a right of way at an intersection. —E.E. to the sale of the property – so that the former now houses pre-K to second

Off-Road Motocyclists Gather for Hare Scamble T he Pine Barons Enduro Riders club presents the annual Hare Scramble at the Silvi Group’s Sahara Sand mining facility in West Creek Oct. 6 and 7. The competition features events for off-road motorcycle enthusiasts of all ages, with peewee and youth classes racing on Saturday and adult classes racing on Sunday.

Every year, hundreds of participants and spectators come from near and far for the family-friendly, community-oriented event, which is backed by the East Coast Enduro Association and the American Motorcyclist Association. Sanctioning by the ECEA means the racers’ fi nishing times count toward point totals and rank standings in the 2012 (March to November) ECEA championship series. The $5 gate fee, applicable to all riders and spectators, benefits the Eagleswood Volunteer Fire Co., and fi re company volunteers also man the gate and grounds for the weekend.

Riders and their families and friends come with pickup trucks, campers and trailers, lining the packed-sand roads that surround the race course. Some camp out Friday and/or Saturday night in preparation for the gate opening at 6 a.m. Local first aid squad members donate their time, and food vendors sell refreshments. A few ground rules, pertaining to camping and race days, include: no campfi res, generators shut down by 10 p.m., no smoking, no alcohol, no pit riding, and no practice warm-ups or trick riding on tracks anywhere else on the Sahara Sand property (punishable by disqualification).

Event organizers, thankful to the Silvi family for their generosity and support, value the privilege to hold the races at the sand mining facility

and urge everyone to heed the warning that dirt and trail riding is prohibited at all other times.

Registration fees are $45 for adults, $35 for youth and $25 for peewee. There is an additional $10 fee for overnight parking. A valid AMA membership is required upon registration (and can be purchased on-site). All riders younger than 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. For safety’s sake, riders must wear boots, helmets and goggles at all times.

This weekend’s schedule of events: Saturday is all-youth day, with signups at 11 a.m. and tech at 11:30; a half-hour, 50-cc mini-cycle race at 12:30 p.m., followed by a one-hour peewee race at 1:30, and a 90-minute race for youth classes at 3 p.m. Time allowing, a free ride session for all youth will follow the fi nal timed event.

On Sunday, signups begin at 7 a.m., with tech at 8; the C class goes for an hour and a half, starting at 10 a.m.; and the two-hour main event starts at 1 p.m.

“We have a great community of kids and parents who rally around every event to make them as terrific an experience for the young riders as possible,” said Pine Barons Enduro Riders President Peter Lange. “Many family members dedicate time and resources to prepare the trail and run the event. It’s all about physical activity and motorcycle safety training and education. Like football and baseball moms and dads, it all happens because of the great effort and sacrifice made by the kids’ parents.

Assemblywoman Gove Named Women’s Advocate of the Year

T

he Ocean County Board of Freeholders joined with the Ocean County Advisory Commission on the Status of Women last Saturday to recognize 9th District Assemblywoman DiAnne Gove as Ocean County Women’s Advocate of the Year.

Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little presented Gove with a resolution, and noted the many contributions the lifelong Brant Beach resident has made to her local community and the county, serving the area’s citizens “with

great concern and compassion.”

“DiAnne makes a special difference every day here in Ocean County.”

Sen. Christopher Connors and Assemblyman Brian Rumpf of the 9th District, which represents parts of Ocean, Burlington and Atlantic counties, were also in attendance – and presented Gove with a resolution from Gov. Chris Christie and Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno – as were Harvey Cedars council members Mayor Jonathan Oldham, Commissioner Judith Gerkens and Commissioner Michael Garofalo, and colleagues of Gove’s from St. Francis Community Center and the Long Beach Island Rotary Club.

“It was a wonderful morning,” Gove said on Monday. “I looked out at a sea of familiar faces and it was so heartwarming. It was extremely humbling to hear what everyone said. … They’re not just colleagues; they’re friends and family.”

“I can’t thank everyone enough for attending,” she added. “I was so honored.”

For 32 years, Gove taught history at Southern Regional High School in Manahawkin, where she was a mentor and class adviser. She also served as mayor and commissioner in Long Beach Township, resigning in 2009 when she was selected to fill a vacant General Assembly seat in the 9th Legislative District. She was then re-elected in 2011.

Over the years, Gove has also devoted her time to the St. Francis Community Center board, the LBI Rotary and the Southern Ocean Medical Center board of trustees.

In addition, she was a member of the Ocean County Advisory Commission on the Status of Women for more than a decade, and served as its chairperson for three years.

‘Survivors of a Violent Subculture’ Now Counsel Against Drug and Alcohol Abuse

Christian Biker Rally, Concert Oct. 6 at Grace Calvary

By MARIA SCANDALE “ f you go the Wawa or a restaurant or a snack bar and see a hundred bikers out there, you want to pull back out and run away,” says David Kaltenbach, an organizer of the Christian Biker Rally that is on for this Saturday, Oct. 6 at Grace Calvary Church in Ship Bottom.

“But these are former biker gang members who are now Christians; they left that violent subculture world.”

Beachwalker Discovers Ice Age Artifact

Museum Confirms Beach Find Is an Ancient Crab Fossil A few days after reading an article in The SandPaper about the search for a 500,000-year-old petrified crab, found on the beaches of Long Beach Island and taken to the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University in Philadelphia 50 years ago, Peter Chirico, a seasonal Loveladies resident from West Virginia, said he, too, happened upon what he believed was a fossilized crab.

“I read the article, and sure enough I was walking on the beach in Loveladies when I saw this unusual, 3- to 4-inch, brown rock. I picked it up and thought, ‘Oh, my god, it’s a crab shell,’” said Chirico.

It was a weekday morning, around 8 or 9 o’clock, when Chirico was walking along the beach, perusing the sand for sea glass and shells, and the object caught his eye.

“Most of the bottom is knocked out of it, but you can even see the surface of the shell and the ridges around the periphery of the anterior aspects of it. It’s definitely a crab fossil. I have no doubt that that’s what this is,” he said.

Chirico has been visiting the Island since 1958, when he was a kid, and many of his relatives had houses in Beach Haven West. His parents, Anthony and Catherine Chirico, bought a summer home on the mainland in 1971. After landing a job, moving to West Virginia with his wife and kids, and paying off his student loans, Chirico decided to purchase his own summer house in Loveladies.

“It was either come back to New Jersey, go to Myrtle Beach, which many people do, or go to Hilton Head, which a lot of people do, too,” he said. “We chose to come back to our roots, to come back to New Jersey. We’re the second generation in the family to migrate to Long Beach Island, and it’s the best investment we’ve ever made. It’s a

THAT’S OLD: Seasonal Loveladies resident Peter Chirico found a fossilized crab on the beach. David Parris, curator of natural history at the New Jersey State Museum, says it’s at least 10,000 to 12,000 years old. second home,” he added.

Chirico has since spent many summers sifting through the sand.

Although he has come upon many different items, such as broken pieces of chinaware and metal, most likely from old shipwrecks, he said he had not happened upon anything quite like the crab-shaped specimen before.

“It’s a nice, little novelty, and I’m sure people have been walking past these ever since they started dredging for the beach. It’s in a nice little bowl of seashells in my house. It makes a great item for discussion,” he remarked.

“Some of the people I showed it to didn’t think it was a big deal, but for someone like me who’s always been interested in paleontology, to find something like this is kind of a neat little turn of events,” he added.

On a quest to find out more about the piece, The SandPaper turned to the New Jersey State Museum, which was established in 1985 by the state Legislature to collect and display natural history, archaeology and industrial history specimens associatedwith and found within the state.

David Parris, curator of natural history at the museum, said crab fossils in concretions are regularly found along the shore, especially from Long Beach Island and farther south, such as in Brigantine. The museum receives inquiries about a specimen every year or two. Many are in collections of people in places away from the shore.

“Many look much like the pictures you sent to me, which seemed to have a few intact features of claw and tail remaining,” said

Parris, referring to Chirico’s find from the beach. “Some are actually spectacularly preserved, with the entire outline of the carapace and claws readily observed, and such specimens may be 6 or 7 inches in maximum length,” he added.

According to Parris, these types of fossils are from the Ice Age, and many shore area fossils of that age are about 10,000 to 12,000 years old. The unit of sediments, called the Cape May Formation by most geologists, was formed from deposits along the shore. Portions of the sediment are churned up by storms and beach dredging, and often wash ashore.

Concretions usually form in a burrow or depression, which is just where you expect to find a crab, Parris explained. Although they are not particularly rare, he said they

are very fascinating, especially because the concretionary fossils are often from the same species as the blue crab. Bones and teeth of Ice Age mammals such as mastodons, mammoths, ground sloths, walruses and whales are also known to wash ashore.

“Scallop dredgers and clam boatmen often find the fossils, so some families have collections of their own. New Jersey has a remarkable fossil record for many different forms of fossils and ages of rocks and sediments. Long Beach Island is particularly known for fossil finds,” said Parris.

West Creek’s Ramp, Boat Slips Are Getting a Full Makeover

E

agleswood Township’s “Summer Along the Westecunk” project, announced last October, is now under way to refurbish 14 municipal boat slips, bulkheads and one boat ramp on Dock Road in West Creek.

The half-million-dollar project, funded in partnership with the New Jersey Department of Transportation’s I BOAT program, will revitalize access points to the creek for boaters, crabbers and fishermen. The original design has been tweaked to cut costs. A compromise is to set up a mobile public restroom unit, instead of a permanent structure as fi rst proposed, at the municipal marina about halfway down Dock Road.

The 6½-by-14-foot trailer will be a single unisex rest room with an ADA-compliant wheelchair ramp and equipped with a grinder pump to hook into the existing sewer.

This week, fill dirt was in place and preparations laid for the cement slab and ramp, expected to be poured on Wednesday. Electrician Frank

Giardina, with Oceanview Electric of Barnegat, was onsite to install the electrical wiring for the trailer lighting, well pump and grinder pump.

Service would be connected by the end of the week, he said.

Committeeman Wayne Thomas, a longtime Dock Road resident, said the work would likely be done by mid-December, with public works guys doing their share of the work whenever they can fit it in, between recycling and roads and other regular duties. So far, the project is going smoothly and right on budget, he said.

At the boat ramp down the road, a new bulkhead and catwalk are in place; the asphalt at the top of the ramp just needs a little touching up and a mound of gravel waits to be laid as soon as the ground settles.

The sprucing up will mean good things for the town, Thomas remarked, as it draws recreational fishermen and boaters to the area to participate in creek-related activities.

Especially come springtime, Dock

REDO: Eagleswood Township’s ‘Summer Along the Westecunk’ project, financed in part by the New Jersey Department of Transportation’s I BOAT program, will restore entryways to the creek for recreational use.

Road could see a boost in the number of families boating or driving over to take advantage of a pleasant day on the water. West Creek Kayak and Ca-

noe and Tip’s Hardware, both located at the corner of Dock Road and Route 9, also benefit from the increased business. Thomas said he hopes users

will enjoy and use the outdoor spaces responsibly and remember to clean up after themselves.

Harvey Cedars Water Tower Will Be Repainted The Harvey Cedars borough commission plans to introduce a bond ordinance for repainting the water tower at its next meeting, Friday, Oct. 5.

Borough Clerk Daina Dale estimated the project could cost $400,000.

“Once we have the expenditure officially authorized, then we can go out to bid,” she said.

Mayor Jonathan Oldham, who is public works commissioner, said the project would begin next spring at the earliest.

“We won’t be able to get started in time before the winter sets in,” said Oldham. “If we don’t start next spring, then we’ll have to do it for next fall.

Usually, you have to repaint water towers every three to five years. They get exposed to a lot of high winds, and the paint eventually starts chipping away. The tower doesn’t look so good right now.”

On a smaller scale, the borough’s municipal building is being painted and should be finished by the end of the week. Dale said local contractor Bruce Jennings is doing the work for $12,000.

Dale said the building, which opened in 1991, was last painted in 2004.

“First, public works had to replace some shingles because some wood had rotted out,” she said.

Dale said the public works building is also being repainted, but the work is being done by its employees. —E.E.

Lawsuit Against Tuckerton Fire Chief Dismissed Superior Court Judge Vincent Grasso has dismissed the lawsuit brought

by Great Bay Regional EMS against Tuckerton Fire Chief Lee Eggert and Tuckerton borough. On Friday, Great Bay Trustee President Rich Bethea and the squad’s attorney were told their lawsuit attempting to remove Eggert from the Tuckerton Volunteer Fire Co. lacked merit.

Eggert said the lawsuit brought in March of this year was retaliatory and an attempt to smear his name. “It’s been six months of this, and that’s not right,” he said. “Great Bay had no business telling Tuckerton what to do,” he added.

Eggert’s own lawsuit filed in 2010 against Great Bay trustees of the four towns served by Great Bay and assorted officials, as well as against Squad Capt. Al Gentless, is still winding its way through the court process. Eggert is suing for actions taken that removed him from the squad.

In response to the lawsuits, Tuckerton adopted an ordinance in July of this year to withhold half the town’s contributions to both Squad 85 and the Tuckerton Fire Co. until the lawsuits are resolved. —P.J.

Concern Over Possible Post Office Parking Loss A Barnegat Township committeeman said he is concerned that public parking at the post office could be lost if the area is sealed off for only postal service employees. At Monday’s meeting, Committeeman Jeff Melchiondo said that could result in 30 spaces being lost at the East Bay Avenue site.

“I realize people may feel I’m conflicted because my store (Tobacco Road) is right in the area of the post office, but the fact is there still is not enough downtown parking,” said Melchiondo. “This is something that affects a lot of people, not just me.”

LEH Assessment Report Needs Facts From Expert: Township’s Tax Assessor

T

wo as yet unresolved issues dominated the Sept. 27 Little Egg Harbor Township Committee meeting: the need for a property reassessment or revaluation of the township, and a recent article in The Press of Atlantic City concerning Police Lt. Don Johnson’s paid administrative leave, now in its second year.

Business Administrator Garrett Loesch said he has not set a date to meet with Tax Assessor Joseph Sorrentino but he believes they will meet soon to discuss a possible in-house, town-wide reassessment versus a paid revaluation by a professional company – or some hybrid arrangement of the two.

(Late on Tuesday, just before press time, Sorrentino called to say they have set a time to meet on Wednesday.)

Loesch said the ad hoc committee formed to study the matter cannot make a recommendation to the township committee unless it has figures from the tax assessor.

“We’ve had some preliminary meetings,” said Loesch, “where we focused on our main problems, which are two-fold. The first is the current

imbalance (between assessed value and current real estate values), and the second is the way to remediate the problem through the state (legislation). If we do nothing and allow the current rate of tax appeals to continue, it’s a financial drain on the system.

It takes from our fund balance for uncollected taxes, and our surplus, until eventually we will have a crisis.”

The surplus fund for uncollected taxes, in normal years, covers the property taxes that are not paid by property owners in foreclosure or property owners whose taxes are in arrears.

Loesch said he did reach out to the tax assessor but then went on vacation, leaving instructions for the assistant business administrator in case the tax assessor was able to meet in his absence. “We’re still waiting on the dates to meet and this is a critical step, as he has the expertise. We’re both just trying to get together.” Loesch said he drafted a letter with questions and e-mailed it to Sorrentino.

(Sorrentino later said he was surprised at the comments made during the meeting because he said he was Continued on Page 39

Cocktails and Canvas Make For a Unique Friday Night O

n Friday, Sept. 21, a group of year-round Jersey Shore residents looking for a unique evening out on Long Beach Island joined painting instructor Sheri Hansen in the gallery of the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences for the center’s first-ever Cocktails & Canvas event.

“We offer a lot of painting and other art classes here, and sometimes people who’ve never tried them before are nervous to join them,” said Kristy Redford, LBIF’s public programs and membership coordinator, who also participated in the event. “A lot of people really like being creative. So we decided to create a casual evening here, where people can come hang out with their friends, drink wine and get an introduction to painting, all while in a relaxed atmosphere at the Foundation.

“People really seem to enjoy our evening date nights here. In the summer, our most popular classes were the different couples’ classes we offer, like our couples’ cooking classes in the Food Studio. It seemed like people were looking for something different to do on a Friday night on the Island, and painting is a fun way to let your creativity out,” she added.

As gentle indie music played quietly in the background through the gallery’s surrounding speakers, participants poured red wine into glasses and nibbled on a selection of chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin and macadamia cookies, before taking a seat behind their selected easels, complete with a blank canvas and a plethora of paint brushes and acrylic paints to choose. A colorfully adorned table set up with still life images representing fall – including red and green apples and gourds, brown bricks and detailed china plates – lay before them under bright lights and cascading shadows, urging them to get creative.

“I’ve never really painted before, but I brought a lot of wine. So hopefully that will help,” joked Brian Koos, 31, from Wall Township in Monmouth County.

After mixing up a few different colors of paint, Hansen gave a demonstration on how to begin

She encouraged the class to zero in on a specific element on the table, instead of trying to paint the entire display. She suggested choosing images with similar colors and mixing a comparable shadow, mid-tone and highlight color to make things simple, while reminding everyone that dark colors recede and light colors pop. Offering more advice, she said it was best to avoid drawing distinct lines, and sweeping curves were more

manageable to work with. However, everyone was encouraged to let their painting take on whatever configuration felt natural.

“Just start painting. Once you get all the white to go away, you’re engaged. Then keep reminding yourself what your original interest was,” urged Hansen, 29, from Galloway Township in Atlantic County.

n Saturday at 7 a.m., residents of Tuckerton awoke to the sounds of gunshots coming from Tip Seaman County Park, but once they remembered the gunshots were the starting salvo of the 30th annual Ocean County Decoy and Gunning Show, they could just roll over and go back to sleep. The “Preliminary Skeetshoot from a Sneakbox” competition starts as soon as the light allows, and if you didn’t know what a sneakbox is, you could sashay over to the Tuckerton Seaport, which has the distinction of owning the world’s largest collection of the camouflaged, low-to-the-water boats that are used to spy on ducks during hunting season.

The Decoy and Gunning Show is a real economic shot in the arm for the area, and for two days, cars with license plates from as far south as Arkansas and South Carolina were seen entering the town’s borders.

3,400 Gallons Shelled Out to Thousands; Restaurants Give Scoop on Competing The Votes

By MICHAEL MOLINARO t would not have been “Clam Chowder in Paradise,” as this year’s theme for Chowderfest 2012 proclaimed, without some idyllic weather, and thankfully for the more than 12,000 people in attendance, they had exactly that on Sunday in Beach Haven.

In fact, it was almost 80 degrees according to the thermometer that was but one of several instruments on “The Chowda Pole” made by Tom Beck of Long Island, N.Y. Beck had returned for the second year with his walking stick chowder caddy, vying for the festival’s first ever “Best Chowder Caddy” award. Two dozen contest entrants competed, and despite Beck’s pole having holders for everything from beer, to spoons, nap-

kins, chowder cups, a stuffed parrot and “that lost shaker of salt,” he did not win. Carla Ciulla of Carmel, N.Y. took the award for her margarita glass chowder caddy. Honorable mention went to Andrew Schuler of Collegeville, Pa. for his bird stand with a parrot sitting next to a sign that read “FEED ME,” above a chowder caddy; and Christianne Gadd of Bethlehem, Pa., whose patriotic “Caddy Hat” reminded patrons of the upcoming elections – the most prevalent being the chowder voting that commenced throughout the day.

The caddy contest “was a request we had for many years; a lot of the committee members really wanted to see it happen and have considered it for probably the past 10 years,” said Lori Pepenella, destination market-

ing director for the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce. ‘there are so many creative caddies that we see.”

It was not the first time Chowderfest was held in September, Pepenella remarked. “It is always the weekend before Columbus Day, and depending on the calendar it may be bumped into September. This was a Leap Year.”

This made for downright summertime conditions, possibly requiring “all of those tourists to get covered in oil” – but not in chowder, as anyone who would wait in the lines seen Sunday for a few Dixie Cups worth of these delicious recipes, spilling even a drop on oneself could easily be considered foolish.

Chowderfest

Continued from Page 37 The absolutely jam-packed crowd of all ages twisted shoulders from side to side as they inched their way closer toward chowder.

They wasted away again in “Clamaritaville,” that space behind the former Taylor Avenue ball field behind Bay Village, illustrated by a sweatdrenched volunteer fighting his way through the crowd with a look of panic in his eyes as he hauled three beer kegs on a hand truck. Hey, it’s five o’clock somewhere.

It was Beach Haven, not Margaritaville, but the Jimmy Buffett theme remained appropriate enough for a town with eight bars in one square mile, and for a festival that has become symbolic with the true end of the LBI summer season.

The weekend festival drew an estimated 30,000 people, counting Chowderfest and the Merchants Mart the day prior, during which thousands lined the streets exploring the 69 vendors on site, not to mention a seemingly endless number of sidewalk and yard sales along the streets of a town that has a permanent resident population of just 1,170.

Local police and firefighters – including Francisco Ramirez, 20, and Terrence Robinson, 31, of the Beach Haven Fire Company – could be seen practicing what may be a new Chowderfest trend. It can only be described as “chowder chugging,” after one of them figured out that while in uniform, approaching volunteers at any given station can lead to them filling one’s entire empty beer mug with that clammy concoction that helps them hang on.

“We”re on standby, just making sure nothing catches fire,” said Robinson. “Nothing ever has.”

A presence was felt from as far as Menorca, Spain, the sister island of LBI whose chowder recipe was distributed at an information booth by the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce, which sponsors the event.

Inside the Shell Behind the festival that is the largest of the year on LBI, were 17 area restaurant-participants vying for the coveted silver plate prizes: Critic’s Choice and People’s Choice awards.

Some began setting up before 6 a.m. ‘VIPs,” who paid extra to avoid crowds and receive the freshest chowder, were to arrive first at 10 a.m.

This created a hiccup for self-proclaimed “chowder virgin” Lefty’s of Barnegat, explained co-owner Lefty Saropoulos, there with co-owner and wife, Jennifer, and father Oscar, all of whom could be seen stirring away at their New England recipe in a line behind their display.

“You can’t just put it in the pot and walk away,” said Oscar.

The Saropouloses have owned one restaurant or another for over 30 years on the property where Lefty’s now sits.

“I forgot to pick up my burners, so as of 8 o’clock this morning we didn’t have any way to heat it. So that’s a bad thing,” admitted Lefty, who was able to borrow burners from competitor Country Kettle Chowda until he could procure his own.

“We’ve been bringing it in for two to three days and have been cooking it since early this week, said Lefty. “220 gallons of chowder – which is mostly cream and clams – is a lot.” Lefty estimates the chowder itself cost at least $2,500.

“The time costs a lot more than the material,” said Lefty. He estimates 60 to 70 hours went into the chowder that was simmered in pots no larger than 20 quarts. A crew of six people also took a week to build the restaurant’s display.”

“If we win, it’s 100 percent worth it,” Oscar joked.

“The exposure is great,” said Lefty, who plans on returning next year. “It’s been well received; there are a lot of people on the Island that don’t know us in Barnegat. And, it’s a lot of fun.”

Brown-bottomed pots sat on the nearby grass, waiting to be washed.

“Any little bit of brown will make it taste burnt,” said Lefty. Among his other duties he took on “scut duty,” adding one last cost to participating in Chowderfest: a lot of elbow grease.

Some competitors used other cooking techniques. Joth Volta, a manager at the Toms River TGI Friday’s, was on hand to help a crew from the Manahawkin TGI Friday’s, using tongs to pull plastic bags of sealed chowder out of large pots of boiling water, and occasionally burning his fingers.

The procedure allows for them to enhance the quantity put out there, and maintains a constant flow of chowder, which volunteers with chowder caddies then take directly into the crowd to distribute it that much sooner.

After years of competing, no consideration is given to changing the restaurant chain’s recipe for the festival. “This is what we serve.

We wouldn’t want to bring something here we wouldn’t serve in the restaurant. We have a great chowder,” explained Tina Nelson, Friday’s general manager, adding that 1,050 pounds of chowder was handled in these bags.

Besides getting the chowder out there, part of her job is finding local sponsors, including Platinum Design, Home Depot and Anderson Agency, to contribute to their booth’s elaborate design and display. “I love to be involved with the community,” said Nelson. “We’re a brand people recognize, and I go out and I seek sponsors to help us out. It’s better for us to have more people involved.”

The Maine Course of Beach Haven – another rookie competitor this year – found their biggest challenge in participating was finding enough volunteers. They pooled from all sources, including The SandPaper’s sales rep Steve Havelka, recruited to help scoop and stir heaps of chowder.

“This is a much better gig,” Havelka said, compared to moving garbage bags.

Co-owner Cheryl Palermo hoped divine intervention would spur them to victory by partnering with King of Kings Community Church in Manahawkin, which supplied a van for the weekend volunteers.

“They supplied the owners of the church, for heaven’s sake, and it’s a Sunday, of all times,” said Palermo.

“This is not just about winning the championship and becoming an award-winning restaurant – which would be nice – but it’s also about spreading the love and the name of Christ.

“We really believe we have God’s blessing upon us. We’ve all come together and we’ve prayed, and we just want people to not only realize the Maine Course has excellent chowder, but we also wanted to spread the word of God.” It also helps to have money: $7,000 to $10,000 is what Palermo estimated her total investment in Chowderfest.

“It’s nice the Chamber will reimburse us, maybe a third of that,” Palermo said. “Even though this has cost some money, the value of the advertising and getting our name out there far surpasses any money that we had to spend up front.”

“It ended up being a little more than I had originally anticipated,” said The Maine Course

head chef Chris Desch, 23. “Doing the inventory, you go, “Ok, it’s ten cases of this, ten cases of that.” But when it’s piled high as you, and you go, “Ok, I’ve got to turn all this into chowder that’s good enough to win…” – on paper it’s one thing. But to execute it was a whole other thing.

“It being our first year in, we”re kind of getting our feet wet on a lot of it. I think expectations are a little higher for us because we do New England seafood.”

“If they can taste the clams, we know we’re doing something right,” said Palermo.

“Just the challenge to keep the temperatures where they’re supposed to be is difficult,” she added. “When you heat something, it has to reach a certain temperature. And you have to cool it all in a certain amount of time. So staying within the health code demands is very important, but an additional challenge.”

For Howard’s Restaurant in Beach Haven Terrace, the costs for participating in Chowderfest include not only the work and money involved in upgrading a recipe, but also the time it takes to develop a loyal customer base willing to volunteer for the festival and provide one of the most spirited atmospheres of the day.

Volunteers included Peter Lawrance of Beach Haven Terrace, who in a creative interpretation of this year’s theme wore a plastic, water-filled belly dancer bikini top and repeatedly flashed the crowd. “As a professional journalist, let me ask you something,” Lawrance said. “Is one bigger than the other?”

“This is a new recipe that Kevin came up with,” said Lara Sparks, whose husband, Kevin, is the chef and owner of Howard’s. “He wanted to make it along the same lines as our bisque, so it’s heavier, creamier with more heavy cream.

It’s more expensive for the white,” added Sparks, “because of the heavy cream. And the white can burn.”

Also, the New England tent is more popular and crowded.

“There’s going to be a lot of hard work on both sides. The best we’ve done is first-runner up,” said Lara, whose restaurant has stuck with the New England side since it began competing in 2007.

Howard’s Restaurant has been on the Island since 1950. The owners began perceiving the festival as a way of giving back for the amount of additional business it brings across the Island. “We benefit from it, so why not participate?”

Through the day, the volunteers also need to eat – and not the precious chowder. Participants cannot spare any, needing every last drop. While some restaurants bring in subs or pizza from local businesses, Sea Oaks Country Club of Tuckerton head chef Mike Greevey – and his right hand man, Mike “Pots ’N Pans” Fagan – go as far as to break out a grill and cook up barbecue ribs, hamburgers and hot dogs, both for volunteers from Sea Oaks and the other competitor stations.

“Just a little side project for the volunteers,” said Greevey. “Go big or go home!”

Greevey is a veteran of Chowderfest, working for one restaurant or another for 15 different competitions. His idea is that feeding your volunteers the best food will lead to them putting the most energy into giving out your chowder, and convincing the masses to vote for you.

“It’s the biggest fundraiser for the Chamber of Commerce, which promotes the mainland, too. And we have an inn, a golf course, the restaurants and banquets – and are a 12-montha-year operation. This promotes the whole area

and community. And that’s really why we’re here.

“I would really like to win,” he added, “and one year we will win.”

The final cost is weathering the storm and simply continuing to participate while remaining consistent and classy, like Country Kettle Chowda’s John Maschal of Beach Haven has done as the longest running participant. His family’s recipe is the only one to compete in each of Chowderfest’s 24 years. Maschal talked about how the idea for Chowderfest came from his restaurant, and how the event then became the cause for the creation of Country Kettle Chowda.

“In ’87, I suggested they have a Chowderfest, because we have a fudge shop up in Newport (R.I.) and they have a big chowderfest up there,” said Maschal. “I was running the Mooring Restaurant (in Newport) and we had a great clam chowder; it was famous.”

Maschal sold his restaurant to employees, who participated in and won the inaugural Chowderfest in 1989 and again in 1990. “They got second in ’91, and quit. We couldn’t let my chowder die, so the fudge shop entered in ’92 as Country Kettle Fudge and got third place; won in ’93 and had second in ’94.”

In 1995, hard rain cut crowds down.

“We had 100 gallons of chowder leftover.

The restaurants took their leftover chowder back to their restaurants to sell, but we didn’t have a restaurant to sell at. So we brought 100 gallons back to the fudge shop and that Sunday afternoon, we sold 400 quarts in two hours.”

Maschal saw he had something besides fudge to sell, and added Country Kettle Chowda to Bay Village. “One reason we did it is we make so much fudge and cook with cream. They’re both basically heavy cream-based. Fudge is cream and sugar; chowder’s cream and clam.

So we’re really set up to cook at a high volume with cream. New England chowder costs three times as much, I would say, than Manhattan, which is just vegetables.”

Besides cream, Maschal added that he goes through 12,000 local clams each year.

Twenty-four years later, under three names, Maschal’s recipe has won 13 times. “We placed every year but one, and our booth has won many times. It’s been fantastic; the greatest idea ever,” said Maschal.

Despite all its costs and tolls, Maschal said, “It’s definitely worth it. The town is busier this weekend than Labor Day. There are people everywhere.”

Those people include the 300 to 400 people that run the actual festival, Maschal reminded. “(Chowderfest Chairman) Frank Panzone has just been unbelievable. And people like Curt Travers – who runs The SandPaper – have been out there doing the trash for 24 years. It’s unbelievable. We get volunteers ourselves from people like my granddaughter, who brought her three or four college buddies back for the weekend.

“Chowderfest is the biggest thing on the Island. We just love doing it.”

“I go to 10 to 15 events a year,” she said.

“I’m going to the World Championships in Iowa in November and to Wisconsin. It’s my new addiction.”

She loves the circuit.

“A lot of the competitions are at state fairs, county fairs. It is a lot of fun. My husband encourages it, except for the money I spend.”

Williams estimates she’ll spend a thousand dollars this year attending events. She keeps costs down by picking meets that are close to friends and family.

There’s also a training time commitment.

“His (Grubb’s) brother is a natural,” said Williams. “But he requires a lot of work. I spend a lot of time at our training dock in Delaware. I also have to take him on a lot of hikes; weight control is important in this sport.”

That was the general consensus among both dog owners and casual observers. They may need a larger spectator area by next fall.

“Grace Calvary is looking forward to welcoming motorcycle enthusiasts from all over the tri-state area,” he told The SandPaper. “We are anticipating hundreds of motorcycles of all types and sizes. I myself ride a 2003 Harley Davidson Electra Glide, the 100th anniversary edition.

Families are more than welcome; come enjoy the beautiful motorcycles, live entertainment, food and moving stories by motorcycle riders who follow Christ.”

Stott added, “This is a first-ever event for Grace Calvary Church. We thank the Ship Bottom Borough Council for the use of the parking spaces in front of our church.”

Musicians Lived the Life Of Rock and Blues The music lineup is “incredible,” Kaltenbach describes, listing musicians who have played with Michael Jackson, Twisted Sister and Vanilla Fudge, and opened for a who’s-who of others.

Joey Brennan & Restored is the featured band, which will bring special guests. The musicians include Rhett Tyler, who formed Early Warning in the 1980s, and Vince Martell of Vanilla Fudge. In the late 1960s, Led Zeppelin once opened for them.

Jimmy Medina, a percussionist and bongo player with Joey Brennan & Restored, “had played and traveled around the world with the Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson,” Kaltenbach went on to list. “They were all a bunch of stars onstage. When I first met them, their bass guitarist had just become a Christian and he was the lead guitarist with Twisted Sister.”

Listing more of the musicians, Kaltenbach said, “Donnie Fury is a famous guitarist and Rhett Tyler has been around since the ’60s, and he was just inducted into the New York Blues Hall of Fame.”

The New Jersey born and bred Brennan, according to his web page, “has lived just about everywhere and done just about everything. As a road-tested drummer from the late ’60s on, he constantly found himself surrounded by incredible musicians and environments.” Jimi Hendrix was one of those musicians, and he opened for Ted Nugent, Billy Joel and Aretha Franklin.

Getting It On Camera; No Lack of Material When the former biker gang members get up on stage to speak about their past, the stories could “make your skin sweat and your hair stand up,” says Kaltenbach, who held an earlier preview for the public last winter.

“They’re born-again Christians; that was their past life,” Kaltenbach said. “They left the violent subculture because they were tired of either getting locked up, barroom brawls, being investigated, or the violence between the gangs.

There are wars going on that we do not know about,” Kaltenbach summed up.

Tuckerton Continued from Page 30 fi re company’s plan to run a fi rst responder truck from the fi rehouse, but because he is the town’s designee to the Regional EMS, he would get the information to Squad 85. Evans said he and Councilman Edwards would meet with the fi re company on Tuesday. “There are still things we have to hammer out with both organizations.”

Fire Chief Lee Eggert said one of the stumbling blocks to the fi re company’s plan to run a first responder has been eliminated, as a lawsuit brought against himself and the borough was thrown out of court. “The litigation between Great Bay Regional against the borough was thrown out as of Friday afternoon,” said Eggert.

“Anyone from the fi rst aid squad wants to meet with us, we’ll do that,” he said.

Brady said he would bring the council up to date on that legal case during the executive session.

Post Office Continued from Page 34 He said he had not received any official word from the U.S. Postal Service, but said he has heard “rumblings” from some letter carriers Nearly three years ago, the retail services at the post office were moved to a separate facility on West Bay Avenue. The East Bay Avenue building is now exclusively used for mail sorting and distribution and letter carriers.

“I believe that part of the conditions of approval for relocating the retail site was to leave public parking available, since people would not be going there to buy stamps and check the mailboxes,” Melchiondo said. “This is something we’re going to have to research.”

He said that while there still is the public parking area off Route 9, there are not enough places for people to leave their cars.

“This is especially true during the summer, when we have our farmers markets,” he said.

“We draw a lot more people in to town now, and these parking areas are sorely needed.”

Ray Daiutolo, a U.S. Postal Service regional spokesman, could not be reached for comment.

Loesch asked the township committee to give the ad hoc committee another month to make its report so he would have an opportunity to meet with the town assessor and the county and tax attorney.

On the other front, Loesch noted that the township has forwarded resolutions to the 9th District legislative office and the governor, asking for better, cost efficient ways to revaluate real estate for property taxes.

Before Mayor John Kehm opened the meeting to the public, Township Attorney Robin La Bue told residents that she has cautioned the township committee not to answer any questions concerning the two-year paid administrative leave for Johnson, as it is a personnel matter and the township is barred from discussing it in public. “It’s a confidential matter and is also a violation of the Open Public Meetings Act when the employee is not given notice (called a Rice notice) to appear,” she said.

Resident Art Mooney asked if the township disputed any of the facts printed in The Press, particularly his $137,453 salary.

“There’s no dispute, but they can’t comment on it,” said La Bue. Resident Karen Starr-Brady suggested the township adopt a resolution calling for a shorter window of time in which to resolve legal matters concerning administrative leave.

Kehm said the matter is with the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office and the township has no input. La Bue added that a person is considered innocent until found otherwise.

“I like the different forms and textures of the rectangle and square shapes. I like geometric forms, opposed to the more-organic forms. The apples and pumpkins are more rounded, and they require more work,” he said while mixing up a pallet of oil paints, which he had brought himself. “I want to get as close as possible to completing something tonight, so I need to have a good, sensible plan before I start painting.

“Acrylic paint dries fast, which is good for short events like these, where people need the option to be able to retouch their paintings and cover up mistakes without a lot of muddiness.

Having the option to paint something and take it home after it’s already dry is preferable. But I prefer working with oil paints because they don’t dry out as fast,” he remarked.

Star-Brady, a Railroad Avenue resident, said 39 the township could pay to hire more officers if they didn’t have to pay the lieutenant’s salary.

She is concerned with speeding on her street, and what she considers a lack of enforcement.

In other business, the township committee adopted an ordinance that reformats the township codebook so it can be amended easily online. “It was labor intensive and took over a year, but will save the township money,” said Loesch.

Committeeman Gene Kobryn said the reformatting makes amendments public and adds to government transparency. Deputy Mayor Ray Gormley thanked the township clerk and her office employees for their diligence.

The township received its semi-annual recycling check from Ocean County, totaling $30,173. The money reflects the amount of recyclables that was kept out of the landfill.

The township was also approved for $325,000 in state Green Acres funds that could be used for open space purchases. Township Engineer Jim Oris said it is a matching grant. When the township’s Open Space Committee recommends a parcel to the township committee, the state money could be used to match the township’s open space funds.

The township committee adopted a resolution proclaiming October as “Domestic Violence Awareness Month.” Committeeman Arthur Midgley read these statistics from the proclamation: “One in every four women experiences domestic violence in their lifetime,” and “One in 12 women and 1 in 45 men have been stalked.”

The Zonta Club of Southern Ocean County is sponsoring an Afternoon of Pampering on Oct. 14 from 1 to 5 p.m. at the Ocean Club Family Resource Center in Manahawkin, with the $20 fee going to support Providence House, Ocean County’s domestic violence shelter.

his gun. While he was in that stupor, a Hell’s Angel was killed and he got the rap for it with his other friends, and he went to jail. This is the mid-’70s. He realized, ‘what am I doing?’ then turned his life around and became a pastor.”

Others had tried to kill themselves, which was not uncommon, but were spared when the effort mysteriously failed. Another described a death experience on the operating table after an accident, where “demons” were dragging him downward, but, he told Kaltenbach, he “remembered as a little kid, about Jesus,” and cried out to Him, and woke up.

Recognizing compelling stories, Kaltenbach heard many more when he was a guest at the Gathering of Tribes, which draws 500 to 1,000 Christian bikers. Now he is shooting the stories in high definition with a production-grade Sony CineAlta camera.

“My intention at the second Gathering was to get as many guys to speak on camera about their violent past. And that’s what I accomplished,” he said.

Holding a certificate of film directing from New York University, he had earlier produced the Christian fiction film “Bridge to Nowhere.”

His marine science degree is reflected in documentaries of the commerical fishing industry shot for Viking Village in Barnegat Light. A world away from biking, his own subculture has been surfing, and he has captured that on film over the years.

This fundraiser on Oct. 6 is to continue work on “Rebel Redemption.” “So far I’ve been given a little bit of money. The rest is all my time and effort. It’s basically a work in progress. For me to upgrade it, I need money to hire a crew and write the storyline,” he said.

“In November I filmed a re-enactment in Trenton, of a former Hell’s Angels enforcer. A guy died and they spread his ashes in the Pine Barrens and they rode through his ashes. So I had 30 bikers and we re-enacted that. We had the original urns and we even had his daughter on one of the bikes. I was on top of my car filming; it was very moving.”

“One thing they do not talk about is anything that went on within the club,” Kaltenbach qualified, “because that’s really private and they could get in trouble if they said something, like, this is how they initiate somebody.”

That still leaves a stunning amount of material about where they’ve been and how they’ve changed. Kaltenbach is going to submit the finished product to Christian film festivals in the United States and Europe.

“The idea is it could be picked up as reality TV or on Discovery,” said Kaltenbach. “I know I’m not going to run out of story.”

And, for the record, he didn’t get the idea from the success of the FX network series “Sons of Anarchy,” he said. That’s fiction with comedic undertones, anyway.

“I’ve only ever watched five minutes of ‘Sons of Anarchy.’ I love originality and my stuff is original and I do not duplicate.”

be teaming up as co-instructors for the Foundation’s Teen Art Studio: Portfolio Preparation classes. The six-week charcoal drawing course will help students looking to get into art schools gather a portfolio of sample pieces, while also helping them sharpen their skills.

“Drawing is really the foundation for visual thinking,” explained Hansen. “So I think it will really help all kinds of artists in all different kinds of media, like sculptors and twodimensional artists.”

Cocktails and Canvas continued for more than two hours. By 9 p.m., everyone was having too much fun to stop and put their paintings away.

“I’m not stopping. I’ve come too far,” said Koos, who was intently focusing on painting the inside of his drawing.

But after a while, everyone was either fi nished with their canvas, or they had just had enough of it.

“I had such a wonderful time tonight. Cocktails go well with canvas, apparently,” said Lisa Sokal, a resident from Barnegat Light who has been volunteering at the Foundation since 1974.

“I loved picking out what to paint. Sheri had such a nice display, with some really classic and inventive pieces and great lighting.

“She’s really patient, too. It’s fi ne if you’re a painter, and it’s fi ne if you’re a beginner.

It doesn’t matter to her. She’ll help you with whatever it is you need,” Sokal added.

Cocktails and Canvas classes will be held again on Fridays, Oct. 5 and Nov. 9, at 7 p.m.

Registration for each class costs $15 for Foundation members and $20 for nonmembers. Art materials are supplied, but participants are welcome to bring their beverages of choice.

Jersey Shore Troops Vital to Coastal Defense Plan he events that would lead the men of Ocean County to play a major role in the Union Army’s first decisive victory in the East began in Washington, D.C., in 1861. When the South fired on Fort Sumter in April, the commanding general of the Army was 74-year-old Winfield Scott. The general devised a methodical plan, the “Anaconda Plan,” to strangle the South into submission, but President Lincoln bowed to public pressure for a short glorious war and sent the Army, made up of 90-day militia volunteers, into the battle of Bull Run, with a cry of “On to Richmond.”

Following the rout of the Union army, Lincoln fired the field commander, replacing him with 35-year-old George B. McClellan from Philadelphia, and began to enlist troops for three years. Most of Ocean County’s men joined the 9th New Jersey volunteer infantry (most of the Tuckerton men enlisted in the 10th since the town was part of Burlington County), and by the fall of 1861, the men of the 9th were training at Camp Olden outside Trenton.

Meanwhile, in Washington, as a 37-year-old Rhode Island general who would go down in history as a fashion statement, Ambrose Burnside, remembered, “My duty was to look after the drill and discipline of these brigades, with a view to giving the men the efficiency necessary for assignment to the older divisions of the army, which were then organizing in Washington under the name of the Army of the Potomac. The duty was interesting in some respects, but was in the main somewhat tame, so that I very naturally desired more active duty.

“One evening in the following October, General McClellan and I were chatting together over the affairs of the war, when I mentioned to him a plan for the formation of a coast division to which I had given some thought. After giving him a somewhat detailed account of the plan, he asked me to put it in writing as soon as possible, which was done. The next day it was presented to him, and it met his approval. He laid it before the Secretary of War, by whom it was also approved.”

What Burnside proposed fit well with the overall “Anaconda Plan.”

“The general details of the plan were briefly as follows: To organize a division of from 12,000 to 15,000 men, mainly from States bordering on the Northern sea-coast, many of whom would be familiar with the coasting trade, and among whom would be found a goodly number of mechanics; and to fit out a fleet of light-draught steamers, sailing vessels, and barges, large enough to transport the division, its armament and supplies, so that it could be rapidly thrown from a point on the coast with a view to establishing lodgments on the Southern coast, landing troops, and penetrating into the interior, thereby threatening the lines of transportation in the rear of the main army then concentrating in Virginia, and holding possession of the inland waters on the Atlantic coast.”

T

Burnside began preparations for the expedition.

“I was enabled to report to General McClellan on the 1st of December that a sufficient amount of transportation and armament had been secured for the division. It was a motley fleet. North River barges and propellers had been strengthened from deck to keelson by heavy oak planks, and water-tight compartments had been built in them; they were so arranged that parapets of sand-bags or bales of hay could be built upon their decks, and each one carried from four to six guns. Sailing vessels, formerly belonging to the coasting trade, had been fitted up in the same manner. Several large passenger steamers, which were guaranteed to draw less than eight feet of water, together with tug and ferry boats, served to make up the fleet, which gave a capacity to transport 15,000 troops, with baggage, camp-equipage, rations, etc. Lightdraught sailing vessels were also added to the fleet, on which were stored building materials for bridges, rafts, scows, intrenching implements, quartermaster’s stores, tools, extra ordnance stores, etc. All of these vessels were ordered to rendezvous at Fort Monroe,” near Norfolk, Va. On Dec. 14, Burnside was reviewing troops outside Washington, and one of the regiments was the recently arrived 9th New Jersey Volunteers. They had already gained attention in the Army for their marksmanship with the new Springfield rifled musket, and when Burnside learned most were from the Jersey Shore, he had one of the regiments he was looking for.

Unknown to the men of the 9th, preparations went forward.

“I had organized the division into three brigades, which were placed in command of General J. F. Foster, General Jesse L. Reno, and General John G. Parke, three of my most trusted friends. We had been cadets together at West Point, and I had always entertained for them the greatest confidence and esteem. In all future operations in the expedition, our close friendly relations were maintained, and I was never disappointed in any reliance which I placed on their gallantry, skill, and integrity. I had been notified

by General McClellan that our destination would be Hatteras Inlet, with a view to operations in the inland waters of North Carolina.”

One of the officers who would eventually lead the Ocean County men into battle was James Madison Drake, a 24-year-old newspaper publisher from Trenton.

“January 1. – ‘Happy New Year!’ was the cheerful salutation between officers and men, but to how many of us would it be a happy one?

How many be spared, through God’s providence, to witness its close – none of mortal birth can answer. At five minutes before twelve o’clock (midnight) the bands of the various regiments, which in cantonment lay around us, commenced patriotic airs, continuing the concert for more than half an hour. Discharges of heavy cannon in the works on the south side of the Potomac, at

the same time announced in thundering accents that the old year had passed away – giving birth to the new.”

Two days later he wrote, “It was announced in orders, read on dress parade this evening, that the 9th had been attached to the brigade of Brigadier-General Jesse L. Reno, and that it would proceed without delay to Annapolis, to become part and parcel of Burnside’s expedition. This news was most welcome and raised our spirits to the highest degree.”

Things began to move rapidly.

“January 5. – Companies A, C, D, E, H, I and M, with the band, and field and staff, embarked on board the ship, ‘Ann E. Thompson’ – the remaining companies, B, F, G, K and L, with the major, going on the brig ‘Dragoon.’

Although it was Sunday, there was nothing at Annapolis to remind one of the sanctity of the day – everything being bustle, if not confusion.

Some vessels were being supplied with rations and water, while others were receiving ammunition, artillery and horses.”

Finally, “January 9. – It was with a feeling of relief that we witnessed the raising of the huge anchors early this morning, and as the snowy canvas was unfurled overhead, and the ships glided noiselessly away, under the influences of a gentle breeze, cheer after cheer from our compatriots on other vessels, mingled with the music of bands, awoke all from their lethargy, and reminded us that at last we were en route to Dixie’s land.”

But the Jersey Shore men knew there was another place in addition to Barnegat Inlet called “graveyard of the Atlantic,” and that was Hatteras. The makeshift fleet soon had problems.

According to Burnside, “The weather was threatening, but I did not foresee the storm by which we were afterward overtaken. At that time we had no weather signal reports; but, in any event, the sailing would not have been delayed, because the orders to proceed to our work were imperative. It was, of course, learned by all, after reaching the sea, that the destination of the fleet was Hatteras Inlet.

“Just before midnight the Picket weighed anchor, and we were soon at sea, and it was not long before the little vessel was called upon to test her seagoing ability. On rounding Cape Hatteras we met a very strong breeze, and the little vessel got into the trough of the sea.”

The storm took its toll.

“The propeller City of New York, which was laden with supplies and ordnance stores, grounded on the bar, and proved a total loss. Her officers and crew clung to the rigging until the next day when they were rescued by surf-boats sent to their assistance. One of the troop-vessels also grounded on the bar, after nightfall, and it seemed for a time as if she and her precious cargo would be lost. Some gallant volunteers went to her relief with a tug-boat, which succeeded in getting her off the bar and into the harbor. The water and coal vessels did not approach the inlet, but went to sea as a matter of

safety. Such of the vessels as were of too heavy draught to pass over the bar anchored under the protection of the cape.”

Lt. Drake remembered, “Many men, by the violent motion of the ships, were thrown out of their bunks. To sleep was impossible, as it required considerable exertion to maintain one’s equilibrium. But, thanks to a merciful Providence, who watches alike the infant in his pleasant chamber and his patriotic sire when dangers surround him and hardships oppress, the men of the 9th survived the manifold horrors of the night.”

But on Jan. 15, 1862, the luck of the 9th ran out as Drake watched. “The wind having moderated, and the sea somewhat calmed, Colonel Allen, Lieutenant-Colonel Heckman, Surgeon Weller, Adjutant Zabriskie, and Quartermaster Keys, proceeded in a small boat from the ‘Ann E. Thompson’ to General Burnside’s headquarter boat in the harbor, to report the arrival of the command, and to ask for assistance in getting the ships into the haven of security. Concluding their business the colonel and his party started upon the return trip, and were speedily and skillfully rowed by a vigorous crew, commanded by the second mate towards the ship. All went well until the breakers were reached, when suddenly, without a moment’s warning, a huge wave rose out of the sea, bursting over the bow, sweeping to the stern, unshipped the oars, nearly swamping the staunch little craft. Despite the mishap, officers and crew retained their presence of mind, maintaining the uprightness of the boat, nearly half filled with water. But while congratulating themselves on their good luck, a second breaker threw the little craft in the air, precipitating all its occupants into the foaming sea. An agonizing scene followed. Colonel Heckman and Adjutant Zabriskie, expert swimmers, thinking nothing of the dangers which surrounded them, nobly went to the assistance of Colonel Allen and Surgeon Weller, who were battling for life in the angry surf, but owing to the exceeding roughness of the water, and their own exhaustion, were compelled to leave them to their fate. Colonel Allen, although a very heavy man, was a good swimmer, but being encumbered with an indiarubber coat and a tight-fitting uniform, soon became exhausted by the great efforts which he made to save himself. Finding that he could not much longer support himself, he said to the lieutenant-colonel and adjutant: ‘I cannot stand this much longer – take care of yourselves.’

The bodies of Colonel Allen, the surgeon and mate of the ship were recovered late in the afternoon of the same day, and “next day the bodies of our beloved officers, enwrapped in canvas, completely coated with tar and sand, (were) temporarily interred on Hatteras’ cheerless bank, where the wild waves changed solemn requiems.”

Not a shot had been fired, yet the men of Jersey had suffered their first losses, ironically in the surf.

Decoy Show

members of the Seaport Stitchers were selling their homemade quilts and table runners, a basket weaver was plaiting an oak basket, and women decoy carvers were selling a book about themselves.

In the tents, serious decoy carvers could purchase glass eyes and cast-metal duck and shorebird feet, special carving tools and every kind of paint and paintbrush. Taxidermist Ray Vosseller collected a crowd around his mounted blue crab dioramas. Vosseller said he takes the top shell off dead crabs, uses dental tools to pick the meat out and then stews them in a chemical bath to make sure all stinky stuff is gone before wiring, painting, shellacking and mounting the crustaceans, pincers raised in threatening lifelike poses on his shore-themed table plaques. They serve as conversation pieces, he said, and were selling like hot cakes.

Wherever one walked in the park, kids were wild with anticipation, sneaking up on unsuspecting adults and blasting them with their

inexpensive geese and duck calls.

Over on the Ocean County band shell, the serious duck- and goose-calling contestants were quacking and goose giggling up a storm. A real flock of Canada geese flew in to land on Lake Pohatcong and may have been making their own assessment of the multilayered ruckus.

Next to the band shell, sharpshooter and showman Tim Bradley drew the biggest crowd as he demonstrated shooting the Benelli line of shotguns, expertly blasting clay pigeons from the hip, then shooting with his gun upside-down.

At the start of his demo, the real Canada geese rose from the water with great splashes and wheeled overhead while the crowd, tired of avoiding the ubiquitous goose poop, urged Bradley to “shoot them!” Bradley declined, though he boosted he could get the entire flock of about 20 if it weren’t illegal to do so. Instead, he focused on decimating all kinds of foodstuffs from eggplants to cabbages and a dozen or more hardboiled eggs thrown by eager teen volunteers.

Sales were slow, however, in the decorative decoy tents, a reminder that the recession is not over yet. Tuckerton Councilman Ryan Short had won a first place in the Traditional, Stick-up confidence decoy for his Great Egret and had won a first last year for his stick style egret. His elegant folk-style decoys would blend with any home decor from modern to country., yet he had sold just one bird on Saturday.

Still, it was a couple of days of meeting and greeting residents and visitors and great for the community, he said.

The two-day event celebrating the great outdoors closed on Sunday with the Hurley Conklin awards given to individuals who embody the bayman’s way of life. This year’s recipients were sawmill owner Anthony Schairer from Galloway Township and Capt. John “Jack Jr.” Kennell from Point Pleasant, a longtime charter boat captain.

Grabbing ‘Big Air’ for Wild Applause

Dogs Make a Splash in Annual County Duck and Decoy Show I

By RICK MELLERUP t’s amazing how quickly a new sport can grow. Dock diving, also known as dock jumping, in which dogs leap off a dock trying to catch a toy and outdo their canine competitors in either distance or height, has been around only since 1997, when it made its first appearance at the Purina Incredible Dog Challenge. In 15 years it has spread across the United States and to Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia. The sport’s largest organization, DockDogs, now boasts clubs in 42 states and four Canadian provinces. It held more than 200 sanctioned events in 151 cities and towns in 2011 and has more than 18,000 registered teams (dog and trainer/ handler). DockDogs also has competition, such as X-Treme AirDogs, Splash Dogs and Ultimate Air Dogs.

Dock diving has all the trappings of a big-time sport. It has a Hall of Fame, plenty of TV coverage (ABC, ESPN and the Outdoor Channel), and celebrities (champions have appeared on “The Late Show with David Letterman”). The organization hosts regional championships and a national championship meet.

This past weekend, dock diving made its second appearance at the Ocean County Decoy and Gunning Show in Tuckerton, and the sport is proving a crowd favorite. Spectators cheered when dogs turned in top-ofthe-line, 20-feet-plus performances.

(The world record for “big air,” or length, is an amazing 31 feet, set by the Babe Ruth of the sport, “Taz,” owned by Mike Chiasson of Clayton, N.Y.) They gently laughed when rookie canine performers hesitated at the edge of the dock, fearing the height of the drop and the cold water, looking like a combination of swimmers approaching the Atlantic for an inaugural swim in early June and an 8-year-old tackling a diving board for the first time.

The decoy show competition was organized by a DockDog club from Delaware, Delmarva DockDogs. The club is holding five sanctioned events this year, in Delaware, Maryland and, of course, New Jersey.

“Our motto is ‘Jumping too big for one state,’” said club President Mike Galloway.

The Decoy Show competition, said Galloway, is catching on with not only spectators, but competitors as well.

“We had about 240 owners sign up this year,” he said. “Of course, some dogs jump two or three times (events were spread out over the two days of the show), but still, that’s up from about 170 last year. It’s catching on here; a lot of dog owners are becoming interested.”

Yes, more and more dogs are testing the waters of the sport. Dogs from Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania and even Ohio competed. More-established meets draw even more entries. A club event in Easton, Md., Last year featured 345 dogs.

Meets, said Galloway, can be stand-alone events. They also tack onto baymen- or hunting-related gettogethers such as the Decoy Show and Easton’s Waterfowl Festival. The mid-Atlantic seaboard states are a

MOMENT’S GLORY: A sport dog’s instinct for water is taken to new heights in DockDog diving. This Labrador retriever has the sweet, dog smell of success. hotbed of the sport, which is also big and growing in the South.

Four Events, Simple Rules The sport of dock diving features four events: Big Air, in which dogs leap for distance; Extreme Vertical, in which dogs leap for height; Speed Retrieve, in which dogs leap off a platform and swim to a toy that is anchored 38 feet from the dock; and the Iron Dog, a combination of the previous three events, which is not held at the decoy show. Big Air remains the granddaddy of them all.

The dock is 40 feet long. In each “wave” of a competition, a dog gets two round robin jumps, and its highest score, as determined by two judges, is kept. Dogs jump (no pushing or pulling by handlers is allowed) into a pool that has distances in feet and inches marked on its rim. DockDogs measures a jump from where the tail meets the body, saying it is fairer than the Incredible Diving Dog’s system of measuring a jump from where the dog’s nose hits the water – there’s no advantage for longer breeds. By the way, although the fields are usually dominated by retrievers and Labs, the competitions are open to any breed, even mutts.

Pretty simple, until, that is, the various divisions are brought into play, allowing more dogs to earn ribbons and, in some instances, cash prizes.

The novice division includes dogs that leap anywhere from 1 inch (hmm, tough calling that a leap) to 9 feet, 11 inches. The junior division runs from 10 feet to 14 feet, 11 inches. Seniors

jump between 15 feet and 19:11; the master’s parameters are 20 feet to 22:11; elite dogs spring between 23 feet and 24 feet, 11 inches and super elite dogs, such as the aforementioned Taz, jump 25 feet and farther.

Then there are the age divisions.

“First of all, you have your dogs up to 8 years of age,” said Galloway.

“At 8 it becomes a Vet. At 10 it is considered a Legend Dog.” Dogs must be at least 6 months old to compete. Only 4-foot-long leads and flat buckle collars are allowed on the dock. And because dock diving is as much a social event as a competition, allowing both dogs and dog owners to mingle, certain rules of etiquette apply –dogs must be up to date on all of their vaccinations, they must be on a leash at all times except when on the dock, no bitches in heat are allowed in competition and practice areas, and, of course, owners must clean up after their charges.

It’s starting to sound complicated, but in reality, it comes down to this: The dog that jumps the longest wins.

Addictive But Affordable DockDogs clubs support themselves, said Galloway, with entry fees, club memberships and donations. The fees and dues are reasonable.

“If you preregister for an event online, the entry fee is $25,” he said, “and it is $30 onsite. Onsite registration always begins at 8 in the morning.

Membership in our club is $35 for an individual (up to two dogs are allowed with $5 for each additional) and $50 for a family.”

Volunteering to help run a competition can earn “Backdog Dollars,” which can be turned in to waive fees at club competitions.

So, it seems like an inexpensive sport, with a minimum of equipment and fees. But caution is in order – the competition and camaraderie can be addictive.

Dee Williams of Aberdeen, Md., has been involved in the sport since 2009. “There was an event five miles from my home. My dog did really, really well for the first time, and I was hooked.”

Williams is currently on the circuit with her 5-year-old mixed-breed “Grubbs.”

“His mother was a golden retriever,” she said, laughing, “daddy was a stranger in the night.”

ot only is fall in the air but so, apparently, are bounding cougars.

Yes, I’m talking your average, people-eating, big-ass cat type cougars – though that is a damn nice 1967 Mercury Cougar you’ve spent your last dime restoring. And, by the way, your wife is leaving you.

As we speak, there is a growing concern over actual cougars a-prance over in the Atlantic Hills section of Stafford Township, a senior community, ripe with finely aged meat.

Would that I was being wise-assed here. I ain’t.

Duly informed sources say that multiple sightings of not just one but possibly numerous cougars have some Manahawkin-ites edgy about doing block walkabouts or spending too much time in cougar-prone backyards.

A segment of one e-mail: The mom of a woman I work with lives in Atlantic Hills, and it seems there have been many sightings, and has caused residents there to alter their day by being home before dark and whatnot. … Dane S. First, let’s all take a deep breath – and calm the hell down. Now, in a controlled manner, let’s laugh our asses off.

There, now that we’re done that, let’s break into small units and follow the blood trail where old man Jones was last seen, before seemingly being dragged from his daily walk and into the jungle.

“Whoa! Stop! You hear that in the distance? I swear that sounds just like Meryl Streep screaming, ‘The cougar ate my daddy!’ ” Obviously, I’m both the worst and best person to e-mail with cougar updates.

More toward my “best” persona, I have very frequently written in here about the cougar(s) of Manahawkin.

Fair dinkim, I once spotted a huge, cougarish cat bolting across Hilliard Boulevard, clear-

ing the road in only 2.67 bounds. (I kinda tried to be scientific about my sighting.)

I’m far from the only noted cougar sighter.

Of a far more respectable ilk, Stafford Mayor John Spodafora also spotted a bounding creature that his hunter’s eye immediately pegged as a cougar. His bountiful, bounding feline was seen within roaring distance of where I saw mine.

Can it possibly be they really exist? Break for a commercial.

Seriously, let’s get down to brass claws – before I run out and haul a bevy of old folks into the woods on, ostensibly, a “Two-hour Pinelands Tour.” Hey, nobody’s gonna answer an ad, “Wanted: Cougar Bait.”

In a backgroundish way, I was told by wayold-timers that even way-er back, a fellow up Forked River way used to secretly own a slew of big cats. While that might lend an anecdotal hair of integrity to why big cats might be in our ‘hood, it also implies there have been following generations of reproducing pumas (another word for cougar) roaming hereabouts.

I’d be far more inclined to turn a suspicious eye toward Great Adventure or Popcorn Park Zoo. They swear “No way, Jay! And you’re not welcome here any more!”

While I’ve treaded and tracked across nearly every inch of Ocean County terrain where wild things and feral hallucinations might roam, I somehow never trekked in the very zone where these spottings are occurring, namely the north side of Route 72, from west Ocean Acres out to the woods around the Long Beach Carefree RV Resort, and westward a ways.

While I’m not big on cats, big-ass cats offer a certain exotic feel, especially when I clearly envision myself clad in khaki, armed with a couple fully loaded cans of Cat BeGone, swaying along sugar-sand Pinelands roads while sitting in an umbrella-ed howdah atop an elephant, a dozen or so dark-skinned, brightly clothed Atlantic Hills residents carrying my gear down below.

Oh, damn, there comes that other side of me.

More to come on this odd tale.

IT’S CRICKET CROONING TIME AGAIN: In case you hadn’t noticed, we’re approaching the height of cricket singing season.

The leg-fiddling bugs are in exceptionally fine, uh, voice this year.

Many folks think of crickets as summerlong serenaders. Not so. Most of the insectified racket you hear on long summer nights comes via cicadas, night birds and even frogs.

The famed cricket serenades begin in late August and carry on into November. It’s, in fact, a very autumnal sound.

The leg-rubbing music of crickets is technically called tridualtion, or the act of making sounds by rubbing body parts together. Noisily Continued on Page 46

Fish Story Continued from Page 44 grinding your teeth together while standing in a slow-moving line is technically a form of tridualtion, at least for me.

Although crickets are among those bugs exterminators promise to eliminate from your home, they’re officially listed as the most beloved “pet” insect on the planet, easily surpassing the next most popular bugs, namely tarantulas, scorpions and centipedes. Hmmm.

As you likely know, crickets have long been huge in Asia, dating back a thousand years – that’s almost 100,000 years in bug time.

How popular were these crooning insects in the then-Far East?

They were royally certified as the “Number One pet” in the Imperial Forbidden City, Beijing. Gospel truth.

Court engineers designed incredible little edifices to comfortably house royal crickets. When the crickets died, the buildings were used to house very small poor people – until new crickets were captured during the next cricket season. There, as here, that season was fall.

Of course, being the top pet in the Forbidden City was something of a default thing, considering the Chinese were dining, buffet-style, on their dogs and cats. Historians believe that crickets were pretty much the first things, along pet-able lines, that weren’t already on the menu.

Once the Chinese aristocracy became enamored with captive crickets, the bugs quickly became hugely popular with common people – who at first admired the crickets’ singing for its calming and transcendental appeal, until someone named Lu Fat realized they weren’t half bad stir fried. The poor in China eventually settled on aphids as pets.

Although crickets were first hyped as representing good luck and inner peace in China, they also made damn good blood sport. Cricket fighting began during the Qing Dynasty.

(Historians to this day are baffled over where the hell the “u” in Qing went).

Qingons literally bred the biggest and baddest crickets for fighting. This was fine with most folks since those crickets were lousy singers anyway.

Betting on cricket fights during the Qing dynasty – and extending into the 1900s – went ballistic. Of course, getting a seat up front near the tiny ring was half the battle. Many great kung-fu movies are based on fights for better seats at cricket fights.

OK, so maybe that’s a bit of a stretch, but cricket fighting was a top national pastime.

Sorrowfully, losing crickets were secretly dragged into a back alley and destroyed.

At one point, cricket fighting was so nobelized in China that common folks would be hung if found clandestinely fighting the insects. They still did it. And you can guess where the losers ended up, i.e. sweet and sour loser chow mein with water chestnuts.

Anyway, the big brown/black, fairly friendly, impressively noisy crickets we have are, in fact, made in China – though they’ve been here long enough to be considered semi-locals.

As for be-petting crickets, it’s as easy as going out into the woods, turning over a board and gently grabbing one to shove into a jar or some other damn thing.

Warning: It’s not good to befriend a

SPORTS

Pinelands Tennis Team Fights to the End S

By RICK MELLERUP ad to say, but generally speaking the past few years have not been particularly good to the athletic teams of Pinelands Regional High School. Even the girls tennis team, usually a contender for a B South title during the first decade of the 21st century, had stumbled of late.

“About four years ago we had a very good team but then all of our seniors graduated,” said Sara Ervin, third-year head coach of the varsity girls team. “But we’re coming back. We’re 6-6 overall, but 6-3 in division.”

That’s respectable. But on Monday, Pinelands tangled with another traditional B South power, Monsignor Donovan of Toms River, and showed the Wildcats are on the cusp of something greater than mere respectability.

Visiting Mon Don defeated Pinelands to run its record to a fine 10-2. But Pinelands, by any means, wasn’t a pushover. The final score was 3-2, and a closer look reveals the match was even closer than that.

Emily Delbury, a four-year varsity player, led things off for the Wildcats, defeating Erica Spina, 7-5, 6-4, in their first singles match.

Meanwhile junior Caitlyn Gobel also pulled off a two-set victory, defeating Courtney Kunzman, 7-5, 6-3, in third singles.

Amanda Anderson, a senior, stumbled in second singles, losing her first set to Mon Don’s Jean Cunningham, 2-6. But Anderson didn’t go quietly into the night. She took Cunningham to a tiebreaker in the second set where, alas, she fell, 5-7.

The visiting team’s Angelica Merone and Danielle Christen also needed a tiebreaker against Pinelands second doubles senior entry of Dana Rose Brown and Emily Wheeler. Mon Don broke a 6-6 first set tie by winning the tiebreaker, 7-1. Then they pulled away in the second set, dispatching Brown and Wheeler, 6-2.

The team score stood 2-2. That meant it was all up to juniors Julia Driscoll and Jamie Cohalan if Pinelands was to win the day. As it turned out, they had themselves quite the match against Tristan Commander and Kylie Kunzman.

The Pinelands due kept it close in the first set before falling, 5-7. But in true Wildcat fashion they roared back in the second, easily taking it 6-2. They looked a mite tired in the third set but still were fighting until the very end, when they ran out of gas and didn’t score a point in the

final game, despite serving, and lost the deciding third set, 5-7.

So, it wasn’t a glorious day for the Wildcats but the girls clearly showed they are on the edge of taking a big step. They’ll have a chance to take that step soon, considering the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association released its state tournament brackets later Monday evening.

Pinelands is seeded eighth in the 16team South Jersey Group 3 Tourney, meaning they’ll open at home against the ninth-seed, Highland.

“Our strengths,” said Ervin, “are speed and eagerness. By eagerness I mean the girls are constantly trying to strengthen their games. They are very encouraging to each other and very positive.

“Our weakness is that we are a younger team (with juniors at second singles and first doubles).”

So far this fall the team’s strengths have bested its weaknesses. And a win in the first round of the state tournament would definitely be a confidence boost.

Glad to say, things are looking up.

Y

cricket you’ve wounded in the grabbing process. I should know. Since the bug only lives a couple months, you might spend just about the bug’s entire “pet” life nursing it back to health. Worse, the vet bills can be insanely high.

“I’m afraid that initial surgery we performed last week on Jiminy’s thorax isn’t working all that well, Mr. Mann. We’re going to have to do some follow-up work. Fortunately, it’ll only run a few grand; much less than the first operation.”

“Well, I guess ya gotta do what ya gotta do, Doc. It would mean the world to me to hear Jiminy sing.”

“A few more follow-up operations and he’ll be singing like Jiminy Buffett.”

“Doc, this is nothin’ to joke about.”

“Sorry.”

WELCOME TO THE PREPOST-SEASON: The Island is on the blink. Traffic signals are now flashing in a shade known as off-season yellow.

We’ve moved into what might be called Phase One of off-season quietude.

The high-energy wackiness of the young guns – kids to collegians – has drifted off to shine in classroom climes. Families are finally familying back home. Workers are anchored to their oft-distant jobs, many needing to pay back “sick days” they finagled to fluke fish during the summer.

Photographs by Jack Reynolds

EARNING IT: Working its way back into the ranks of high respectability, the PRHS girls tennis team was barely bested by powerhouse Monsignor Donovan, 3-2. The Wildcats are proving themselves a top contender in B South.

However, not far from everyone is gone with the west winds.

Surfers remain at the ready for autumnal swells; back-home summerites eagerly await their warrior weekends; great flocks of snowbirds still hang here for the holidays.

More importantly, surf anglers are poised to swarm the suds line for the eight-week Long Beach Island Surf Fishing Classic. It starts this Saturday.

Speaking of the imminent Classic, time is running out to be an early entrant. Get crackin’.

Even if you wait until the last possible instant to climb aboard this year’s surf fishing tourney, you’ll still be just as qualified to cash in on the

event’s fame and fortune.

CLASSIC PROGNOSTICATION: My fishing forecast for this year’s Classic remains unchanged. It’s bound to start slow, even very slow.

Rogue entry-level fish will offer a weigh-in here, a weigh-in there.

The big fish, mainly bass, aren’t far off. They’re just not right here, right now. And that’s not the worst thing for the event’s start. It levels the fishing field. Each and every entrant can be the one to land a singular, weigh-worthy bass – and then watch it rack up some serious winnings.

It actually gets tougher to make a leader board splash when the fishing becomes fast and furious.

Fish Story Continued from Page 46 The bigger push of linesiders – and possibly the event’s largest stripers – will be later in October.

Bluefish are a whole other arrival matter.

The annual influx of fall choppers has become an unpredictable waiting game. In fact, the autumnal slammer appearance might very well be one of those micro-indicators of a rapidly warming ocean.

Back in the day, bluefish would be hitting

the tourney scales from “Day One” onward. Of course, water temps would be in the upper 50s.

Nowadays, we might not see a serious flow of slammers until the last segment of the contest.

ADVANCED BASS COAXING: While I’d love to think all arriving bass will be joneseing to pounce on one of my beloved plugs, I can just about guarantee they’ll all be bait-seeking, bait-caught fish.

When baiting for bass, some serious fishing strategy can step up to bat. Along with always using the freshest possible bunker chunks, some of the largest bass go for the entire head of a fresh bunker.

Chunking outside the box, kingfish heads are known to be fabulous bait for big fish, mainly drum to our south.

Then there’s swimming outside the bait box.

I’m bringing this up as a way to (hopefully) motivate even Classic newbies to get creative – and highly competitive.

For weeks to come, there will be a smorgasbord of baitfish in our waters, all just begging to be live-lined.

Net or buy a spot (croaker) to throw into the suds. You’ll be offering a bass arguably its favorite foodstuff.

Along the same lines: Snag (foul-hook) a live bunker, and then rehook it to “swim.” It’s an open invite to the biggest and baddest bass on the block.

Fishing tiny plastic grub jigs to nab an ocean herring offers a chance to then liveline a prime target of bigger stripers.

By the by, livelining uses some of the simplest rigs imaginable, but, you gotta have just the right hooks and leaders. Ask at our shops for “livelining” hooks, which are short-shanked and kinda thick.

I fully believe in circle hooks when livelining, though many/most of the best anglers prefer extra-strength bait hooks – so they can drive the hook home with enough force to pull the fish’s head clean off its body.

CALENDAR ALERT: This Saturday is the Classic’s free “Super Surf Casting Seminar.” It takes place in Ship Bottom between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. This year, Century Rods Pro Team will be among the instructors. Meet at 9 a.m. at the Chamber of Commerce on 9th Street, incoming Causeway.

For more info, go to http://lbift.com/ LBISeminar.htm, or Google “LBI Classic Seminar.”

ITCHING INTO MADNESS: Whenever I even talk about clamming the mudflats of Holgate, I instantly get ghost itches, essentially fingernail flashbacks.

Among the worst nights of my life were those spent scarifyingly scratching at the weeping bites from unmerciful, mud-based parasites common to our bayside mudflats. I’ve selfscratched myself so badly that the lower parts of my legs were rendered human hamburger meat.

I carry lifelong scars from those “bites,” as do most folks who have been attacked.

The malady has coyly been called “swimmer’s itch,” though such a name belies the complex environment needed to nurture the underlying creatures.

Science blanket terms the “itch” as cercarial dermatitis. The raised, red pinpoint rash is quite similar to the look and feel of harvest mites (chiggers), though times ten on that “feel” part.

As studies continue on the rash, it appears

it’s a worldwide bitch of an itch. In some places it’s called “rice paddy itch,” and, gospel truth, “clamdiggers’ itch.”

I’m told that in Jersey it has been dubbed “duckworms” – though I’ll be danged if I’ve ever once heard someone say, “Be careful of them-there duckworms.”

However, the “duck” angle actually plays well with emerging science.

The specific creature causing the chaos of clamdiggers’ itch is the trematode parasite.

These reach humans via aquatic, migrating birds, i.e. ducks and stuff.

The life cycle of near microscopic trematodes is complex. They don’t just jump off wading birds and tear into our legs. They arrive as eggs within the waste from birds. The eggs hit the ground, in this case muck, and quickly hatch into something known as a miracidium.

The miracidium aren’t yet a threat to our skin. They have gooier haunts on their mind.

They seek a singular type of host, namely snails.

They came to the right frickin’ place. We have tons of small, black marine snails, known as periwinkles – though you don’t call them that to their faces. Our periwinkled bay banks must be heaven to duckworm miracidium.

Having no problems finding snails, miracidia climb into their skin and undergo some bodily changes. They emerge as a motile cercaria larvae – with a big red “I,” for Itch, on their chests.

Once a-mud, the motile larvae seek that big host in the sky: a shore bird. However, these larvae aren’t the brightest Crayolas in the box.

They can’t tell a human from a heron if they tried. They’ll burrow into our human skin as if we had “duck” painted all over us.

Although they quickly wish they hadn’t wiggled their way inside a human – dying of either shame or caffeine poisoning – the damage is done, from our skin’s point of view. Our body’s immunity system has utter conniption fits trying to reject the ugly invader. Out, out, damned duckworm!

Whereas chiggers simply eat the surface skin of humans, duckworms have climbed inside to rot. The itch factor is a 50 on a 10 scale.

Fully acceptable items to attack duckworm itches include glass shards from broken Coca-Cola bottles; Dremel tools armed with diamond-tipped augers moving at 10,000 rpm; wire brushes dipped in hydrochloric acid; and, a personal favorite when numerous duckworms have burrowed in, a screaming belt sander with 70-grit paper.

While cercarial dermatitis is primarily a summer condition in many parts of the world, we’re just hitting our miracidia stride, as migrating birds touch down.

The only prevention is prophylaxis. Quit you giggling. You won’t be so giddy after you’re put upon by voracious hordes of miracidia.

Always wear boots and clothing whenever in the personal presence of bay mud. One prophylactic slip up and you’re screwed.

I recently got a glancing blow – likely one lone duckworm – to a single finger. It already looks like leprosy. That’s why I can write this with such firsthand conviction.

Hoping to Hype Locals; Nadine Revitalizes But Swells Tough to Find T his is a good week to do some windowshopping. When you get a chance, check out the south-facing windows of Wave Hog Surf Shop (toward 7-Eleven for the geographically challenged). The new Hyperflex Wetsuits window banner features a photo of LBI skimmer John O’Hara boosting a massive air.

Yep, the kid who you see surfing and skimming on that beach all year long scored himself a sweet one up there.

I always think it’s a good move when surf companies promote local riders. I mean, I know those epic shots of Kolohe Andino and Dane Reynolds help push plenty of Nike and Vans gear, but don’t we see enough of those guys in the mags, online and in videos?

The surfers don’t neccesarily have to ride for the shop. It’s a tool that the companies pay for to help move product in specific shops.

I much prefer the Volcom ad with New Jersey power surfe Mike Gleason to some Hawaiian. Or better yet, the Jetty banner that Farias Surf City ran of Beach Haven native Jamie DeWitt. In the past Farias has given some great real estate to Dave Werner. Surf Unlimited still sports one of Cedars surfer Tyler Vaughn in a lay-back snap.

You can see a larger-than-life Randy Townsend in the Ron Jon window. And then there’s the huge Randy billboard on Route 72 that someone decided to add his opinion to. I guess if Realtors can fall victim to spray cans, surfers are fair game, too.

But back to the young skimmer: “Left up to us, that window would be bare,” joked Wave Hog owner Marco Grasso, “But he’s a team rider for Hyperflex, and it’s better for us to have a local on the window than some random pro that nobody has ever met. Having John up there is awesome because people know him.

It’s good for their company, too. It gives them street cred. And we’re just happy someone gave us something that we didn’t have to pay for.”

The Farias crew has really made an effort in recent years to promote local athletes instead of just the global superstars.

“We see them surfing in our waters year ’round, whether it’s Sam Hammer, Mike Gleason or the local Jetty talent.

These are the guys that are relevant to surfing in New Jersey,” says Brian Farias, who explains that he always requests New Jersey surfers from the companies for his marketing (although whoever made that Skull Candy ad Jay Mann with Sam Hammer for the “dB” model should know that DB has a different meaning in New Jersey than other regions.

“Hopefully you’ll start to see Conor Willem and Royce Weber up on our windows soon, as Brixton and Analog put some support behind them,” Farias EXTENDED STAY: Possibly no other migrating bird species finds the foam of LBI more inviting than added.

So, here we are in the midst of fall sanderlings. The fast-footed surfline feeders spend many weeks hereabouts, fattening up on the likes “festival season.” I always wondered of small sandcrabs and assorted invertebrates exposed by wave action. how many people leave LBI after shirts. Plus, I thought that guy was only 35.

The bad news is that many beaches, espeChowderfest with a belly full of BudThere was a tiny mico-line coming through cially those without significant jetties, have weiser and a bits of dried thyme on their chin and then return the next weekend to do the 18- most of Sunday, but pretty closed out.

That’s just the way it is. by then, they will probably not care very much.

A quick glance at the forecast shows potenimpossibly high.

But we’re officially in the fall now, which tial for a fun wave on Thursday. Don’t expect From the reports I heard, the best surf was Saturday afternoon. It was about waist high means a few things. First the good news: The much, but at least it’s a short period south swell. and fairly clean – a nice treat considering the water is still warm as the air is cooling off. The Fortunately, we’ll be in a better tide pattern, with forecast, but nothing to be upset about missing if result was that the wind stayed offshore pretty a low at 5 a.m., rising through, the morning and you were busy peddling leftover summer wares much all weekend.

Continued from Page 50 I explained dat dees vus zee dolphins feeding and playing. They stood there in utter amazement. And I realized if you didn’t see them every day like we have lately, they really are a spectacle – not to mention that there were monarch butterflies flitting about and dozens of sparrows in the dunes. Those folks will probably go back to Europe telling their friends about the subtropical paradise they discovered in America called “New Hersey.”

The dolphins have been a huge topic of conversation in September. No one can ever remember a season where there were so many, but also ones so friendly and inquisitive. You see entire pods of parents and children feeding and playing. There have been some sessions where they’re right on your lap, putting on a show.

Does that makes the whole idea of paying $15 to watch four guys from Staten Island in overly distressed jeans play Bon Jovi covers seem kind of silly? The dolphins don’t even ask for donations afterward.

Interestingly, just 350 miles to our northeast, they’ve had a very different summer. There have been some swimming visitors just offshore, but they ain’t no friendly dolphins.

A few years back, I had done some work with Cape Cod photographe Luke Simpson. He’s a great lensman, and one of the few shooters who gets in the freezing North Atlantic during the winter months. But there isn’t a whole lot of work for a Massachusetts surf photog, so his day job is biology teacher.

In November 2008, we had a great run of surf – big south swells that translated into some huge barrels off Cape Cod. He took some epic water shots of his friends pulling into these behemoths right before dark (about 3:30 p.m.).

After so many consecutive days, he e-mailed me an invite to surf Cape Cod. The handful of guys who charge such waves up there were completely exhausted or they had to get back to house painting, pint pulling, leaf collecting and boat winterizing – same stuff we do here in the fall. He told me to bring some talent for him to shoot. The idea that he wanted me to come up was just Luke being polite. He knew there were great surfers on LBI, ones that are worth trying to take photos with 5-mil gloves on.

I grabbed Surf City’s Randy Townsend the next day and we arrived at Simpson’s place late in the night. Next day we got a bunch of waves.

Randy and Simpson connected on some air shots and Simpson clicked one off of a pig dog from inside the tube that later appeared in the pages of Eastern Surf mag.

Score.

Feeling fulfilled, we went to happy hour at the Land Ho, a New England-style tavern and seafood restaurant owned by a bunch of surfing brothers. Over their famous stuffed clams, we all traded stories of sessions that day. Locals in any coastal town from the Panhandle to Maine are pretty similar. Life revolves around fishing, surfing and hustling for the tourism dollar. Not only that, but a trip anywhere is far better when the locals show you around.

Simpson has since visited LBI and twice got waves. He was a big fan of wearing a springsuit in October and rather surprised to see pelicans.

He’s also linked up with Randy in Costa Rica and Rhode Island for even better photos. Solid fella all the way around.

But the last few years, the mood among the surf community on Cape Cod has gotten a little dark thanks to the food chain.

In 1972, the Marine Mammal Protection Act made northeast waters much safer for migratory ocean mammals like seals. In the following years, Canadian gray seals (they call a beanie a toque and love hockey) began coming to shore,

Liquid Lines

mating and having offspring around Cape Cod. Representatives of their local Audubon Society estimate that numbers rebounded from 500 to anywhere between 10,000 to 15,000 seals.

But seals = meals, to sharks, which have been returning to the area as well, in alarming numbers. There are also arguments that the seals are gorging on sand eels, making striped bass (which are fished commercially for a few weeks in the summer) scarce. That’s somewhat of a minor issue for a coastal community, however, when scientists from around the world are coming to study Jaws in your line-up.

The last few years have been one horror story after another, as the tracking data keeps pointing to the Cape as a favorite restaurant for the “landlords.” And while a state like Florida has greater numbers of shark attacks, the idea of great whites lurking offshore seems far more grisly.

There are local fishermen on the Cape who have helped in tagging sharks in the hopes of tracking them to keep swimmers safe. This year they had a banner season, tagging 20 toothy fish.

What about that makes anyone feel safer?

In 2010, the Discovery Channel rolled into town to film for a “Shark Week” feature. Giant predators are spotted all throughout 2011, and scientists started chumming the water. The crew from the History Channel’s “Shark Wranglers” showed up for a few weeks, This summer, a photo surfaced of a massive fin following a kayaker.

In July, a man actually was bit and hospitalized.

Then early last month, Simpson sent me a photo of a 1,600-pounder that washed up dead.

What might be going through your mind if you’re a surfer? Or better yet, the guy who treads around with a thick wetsuit to get photos to make a few extra bucks? They actually made a wooden outline of a seal and painted it black to see if they could lure in a great white and have a chat.

But what if that were LBI? Can you imagine if seals started beaching off Island Beach and made a rookery out of the Forsythe Refuge?

Suppose every time we saw a fin out in the water, it wasn’t a playful bottlenose.

It’s a gruesome thought.

No proper competition results this weekend, but we had a few locals head up to the NJ Surf Show’s September Sessions on Saturday at Joey Harrison’s Surf Club in Ortley Beach. This expo, highlighted by a gathering called “Anything But Pop Outs,” is a chance for locally based builders of surf craft to show off their wares. Randy Budd of Pine Knot Surfboards in West Creek and Papa Planes of Beach Haven were both there representing LBI. “It was a good time. We took out some handplanes and got wamped in the shorebreak for a while. Some guy came up to me and started asking about my wooden boards,” reports Budd. “I thought he was from their local paper. But then I found out that they were giving me the ‘Best Backyard Shape’ award. I was pretty honored.”

He also pointed out the irony that as a wooden board builder, the prize they gave him was a foam blank.

“I’ll shape it, but I’ll keep it quiet,” he joked.

“I don’t want to ruin my sustainability cred.”

This is a reminder that this Sunday the Black Whale Bar and Fish House in Beach Haven will host the Jetty Clam Jam team selection party.

This time-honored tradition involves everyone’s names being put on clam shells, and picked out of a hat to randomly pair one older and one younger surfer for the contest. The party kicks off at 9 and will feature Imperial and Peligroso tequila specials for those of age.

The actual Clam Jam could be as early as Oct. 13, with potential for the 14th, or any weekend thereafter. There will be an afterparty at Sunset Park immediately following the contest. Gotta love Clam Jam season. Get yourself signed up so you don’t wind up watching from the corn-hole pit.

This is Rocktober. Make it count.
