Stop Whining for Gov’t Support To Prop Up Shaky Endeavors By J. LINDSAY FULLER he Sept. 28 edition of The SandPaper was a very interesting read. I could not believe the number of articles that involved private individuals whining for help from “government,” i.e., the rest of us, to support something that apparently the public has not felt the need to support directly. Let’s count ’em up … First, we have Surflight Theatre, which was in dire need of operating capital and reserves for decades. The Beach Haven theater was always in deep financial need due to atrocious management and the lack of understanding that the public just does not have an interest in supporting Surflight with ticket sales. A group made up of people, some of whom were involved with the old Surflight, now wants the borough of Beach Haven and Long Beach Township to use taxpayer funds

Challenging Run To the Editor: I give participants in the 18-mile run on LBI so much credit for braving the elements on Sunday. These runners, as well as all the volunteers, proved to have the will and the stamina to face whatever came their way. There were periods of torrential downpours and gusty winds that did not deter the runners from their destiny, which was the finish line. They ran into that wind and rain for the entire trek, with many of them never questioning themselves as to if they should stop and give up. I’m sure every step they ran was for a good purpose. Some were running for cancer, as I noticed the symbols on their attire that represented their cause. I’m sure it was all worth it in the end. As a reminder, October is breast cancer awareness month for all you women and, yes, men, too. Don’t forget to go get your mammograms to ensure we will have you all around for the next big run in 2017. Bless all for taking on the challenge Sunday. I hope the runners achieved everything they set out accomplish. Great job and congrats! Patty Kelly Beach Haven Park

Special Picnic To the Editor: On Sunday, Sept. 18, a group of very dedicated employees and volunteers of the Southern Ocean County Medical Center hosted a picnic to honor cancer survivors with recognition of their caregivers. Headed up by Lizzie Martinez and Denise Theiler, Meridian Navigators, and assisted by a great number of nurses from the Oncology Department and other support personnel, the event was held at a park in Forked River. Upon entering the event, pictures of each attendee were taken to be presented later. Door prize tickets and “goodie bags” were handed out. After sitting, attendees were treated to a very complete table of salads and other foods fit for a king, as well as the beautiful music of Reflection Station. Face painters, massages and a yoga demonstration were only Continued on Page 8

to buy Surflight out of bankruptcy and lease it in a “sweetheart” deal to this new group. (See “Surflight Theatre Future Has Hope If Quick Action.”) Perhaps “quick action” is exactly what is not needed here. The old Surflight couldn’t make it due to its income not being sufficient to cover operating expenses that were themselves too high to be supported by a small summer stock theater using Broadway and near-Broadway talent and whose management and board made many serious management mistakes coupled with reduced interest from the public for buying tickets. The old Surflight was a tax-exempt entity, which means local taxpayers were already subsidizing the financial operation of the failed entity. Yet the article contains no detailed information about how the new management group plans to run Surflight so a far different financial and operational outcome could be expected. Another major missing point is if and how the management group would run a fundraiser that would gain donations from people actually interested in contributing to Surflight, perhaps on a scaled-back version. Oh, that’s right, they don’t need to work hard to raise funds since they have a “better” plan. They don’t need to raise money because the management group wants two municipalities to increase the risks to their respective taxpayers by assuming the ownership position of Surflight, which went bust once. Just who will get stuck here if the management group and board drive the new arrangement into bankruptcy or heavy financial need? As a property owner and taxpayer in one of the target municipalities, as a person with a very limited interest in Surflight as a community theater, and as a person with zero interest in an ownership position in Surflight, it’s my opinion that the elected officials of the two municipalities targeted should have their heads examined if they put 1 cent of their constituents’ funds into this deal. Surflight repeatedly failed for many reasons. The last two shows I attended, both

enjoyable Tommy Emmanuel concerts, could have had the stage swept before the start of each of the shows. There was loose trash and dust. If the management had any pride at all, someone could have taken a broom and cleaned the place. But the main reason for failure was the lack of interest from the public in attending Surflight’s events. Property taxes on LBI are already far too high, mostly due to the Southern Regional School District assessing LBI homeowners instead of charging tuition for student attendance. Frankly, for what LBI owners pay to that district, LBI taxpayers could buy Lawrenceville Academy and send LBI students to Lawrenceville Academy for less. The kids would likely get a better education, too. In the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Oct. 2 edition, a front-page article is part of an ongoing story involving not a community theater but the Philadelphia Orchestra, a cultural institu-

tion known around the world. The orchestra is having some of the same problems we’ve seen with Surflight over the years. Contract negotiations with the orchestra’s players highlight the problems. The difference between the initial request from the players and what was offered by the orchestra was $90,000. You would think a major organization like the Philadelphia Orchestra would be able to work that out. In fact, at a recent scheduled event, the orchestra members refused to go on stage and many, instead, went out on the sidewalk outside the concert hall and played an impromptu recital for people passing by. Over the last five years, the Inquirer has published very thorough analyses about why some cultural attractions are having trouble. Their findings were very astute. Reason No. 1 was that the times and interests of people Continued on Page 8

What’s It All About? Respecting and Improving Life To the Editor: I would like to compliment Dotty Cronan for her well-rendered account of the film “Alfie.” The song “What’s It All About, Alfie?” sets the tone for her column (“Election Choices ’16: What’s It All About, Alfie?” 10/5). Dotty Cronan is caught in the dilemma of choosing a candidate for the presidency. In her final remarks she examines the killing of the unborn and youths dying due to lack of gun control. These two issues are critical components of her decisive vote. I believe the Democratic Party has made an emphatic stand to protect the rights of women. Yes, it is the right of women to have an abortion throughout pregnancy, even in late-term pregnancies. This barbaric procedure is called partial birth abortion. This right is being fought for in the party. Furthermore, having this procedure is a “woman’s right” and therefore, this abortion and all medical expenses entailed should be paid for by the taxpayers, as abortion is now

an accepted law of the land. If protection of women’s rights is a battle cry of the party, why is it that the great champion of the party has received huge sums of money from nations around the world that suppress the rights of women? Young girls are forced into unwanted marriages. Young girls grow up in a culture that restricts their education and “rights of women” are nonex-

istent. They are considered property of their husbands. As such, husbands may punish their wives as they see fit. Ms. Cronan, you present the issue of gun control as something not wanted by the Republican Party. I am not aware of anyone advocating that illegal guns be on the street. There are laws on the books that are not being strictly enforced, as they should be. I feel safer

knowing that those who carry a gun legally in protection of me and my liberties are out there in harm’s way doing an often thankless job. I am deeply grateful for their service and bravery. Those in the military and in local law enforcement agencies are there to protect and defend us and they are on the front line, that thin line which separates order from chaos. People kill people; guns are weapons. Do you remember the people of France who were killed by a terrorist barreling through the crowd in a truck? A club, a knife, a saw, a car and many other implements could be used as weapons. This fact must be acknowledged. Anyone determined to harm another will find any such object to complete his or her mission. Many deaths occur among gangs on the streets and in schools. There is a definite link between youth crime and the lack of parental involvement in their lives. That subject is an essay in itself. Our families are changing Continued on Page 11

You don’t need to pay high ticket prices, pay for bridge tolls and parking or get all dressed up to listen to your own sources. The Inquirer also noted that major donors had gotten up in age, their families had scattered to the four corners of the world, and younger generations had no interest in supporting cultural venues in their old hometown that they never went to anyway. If the Surflight’s new management group can’t create a proper business plan, conduct a thorough fundraising campaign and do all of the other things necessary for success, there is no reason for the public to put their money at risk. The Westmont Theatre in Camden County went through a similar problem and closed its doors on Sept. 8, 1998. Private parties were unable to collect sufficient funds to reopen. Local and regional governments refused to foot the bill. Two developers are currently in process of turning the theater into a Planet Fitness gym, apparently something people do have an interest in. Then we have the letter to the editor from K. Miller of North Beach Haven, who wants to be compensated for his/her inconvenience due to the beach replenishment contractor using his/her street as a staging area for supplies and equipment. The contractor used the beach ends of other streets and none of the owners on those streets have requested compensation. The beach needed a very large construction project, and secure staging areas were required. Everyone on or close to the beach needed to show patience and most did. In the same edition, the example of the couple that wanted horses at their beach wedding shows how people who have a goal can get there if they persevere. These people started a year before their wedding date, kept aware of the changing construction schedules for the work on the beach and succeeded. Good for them. Lastly, we have the Obama administration declaring enormous areas of the oceans preservation zones. A story about this relates how the 4,193-square-mile Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument

has become such a zone, established by an executive order, removing access for recreational and commercial fishing. Apparently the fact that American fishing fleets have been diligent in holding to the National Marine Fisheries Service’s rules and regulations was not taken into account, nor the fact that the vast majority of species that are fished off the U.S. are in pretty good shape. All of this preservation takes federal money, paid in repeatedly over time, yet there is zero economic value available in return. Further, recreational and commercial fisheries have the risk that the federal government will expand the size of this preservation area as it did when it added a gigantic area of the Pacific Ocean to the “monument” northwest of Hawaii. We need to knock off expecting to get “government money” for projects that have not been able to stand on their own. Y J. Lindsay Fuller lives in Beach Haven. Commentary is a SandPaper guest column.

Continued from Page 6 a few of the highlights of the affair. At one point a microphone was taken table to table for the cancer survivors to speak and honor their caregivers. I do not think there was a dry eye in the pavilion. Door prizes were then drawn and presented. This was the first recognition picnic, and many attendees look forward to the next. The people who put this affair together must be commended and thanked from the bottom of our hearts. It was apparent that many hours were spent putting such an event in place. A special thanks to the many, many businesses and people who donated the great food and wonderful gifts for door prizes. Of course, our personal thanks from the bottom of our hearts go to our “Angels Without Wings,” who all have helped to keep my Noreen with me for four-plus years since her diagnosis of lung and brain cancer in 2012. She was given a one-year life expectancy in 2012. George D. Way Barnegat

Unwelcome Treatment To the Editor: I am writing this letter because I am upset about the handling of my water bill, specifically the way Barnegat Township shut off my water supply (without notice) and the water supply of many other residents. I want other people who are new to the area to be aware of the way the township responds to their concerns and issues. I have been living here in Barnegat for less than seven months. Apparently, an error occurred with my billing address, of which I had no knowledge until my water was turned off on Monday, Sept. 26. It was after business hours and my family had to spend a day without water. The following morning I went to the municipal building to inquire what was going on and was told that the bills and shut-off notice were sent to me, although I had not received them. Upon moving into my home seven months ago, I had called the water department with the current meter reading and explained I was the new owner. I thought I had done my part. Apparently, the bills and notices were being mailed to my old address and then they were returned to Barnegat Water Department without my knowledge. You would think if the department received all of these back, a red flag would have gone up and maybe someone would have notified me. But instead, the township thought it better to shut off the water and have me incur extra fees. My lawn was ripped up and red and orange paint smeared across it in several places.

Continued from Page 8 Even more disturbing was the abuse I had to endure at the municipal building while trying to understand what was going on. Upon initial questioning, a receptionist at the front desk said I should have paid my bill. I tried to explain I did not have a bill to pay when I saw Deputy Mayor Al Bille sitting nearby. I started to speak and did not finish one sentence when Mr. Bille went on to accuse me of receiving the notices and just not paying my bills. He then said to get out. I was appalled. In the meantime, another Barnegat resident with the same water shut-off issue arrived and tried to speak to Mr. Bille. Again, Mr. Bille responded in a nasty manner and when the man suggested Al get a cup of coffee to calm down and maybe go outside to talk, Al replied, “You are threatening me” and called the police. As the police questioned this innocent man, all I could say was wow! After this incident, I spoke with Tax Collector Crystal Brimson and Town Administrator Martin Lisella, who both told me they have a right to charge me the extra fees and were not going to do anything to help me out. This is after Crystal admitted all the notices came back to her and she knew I had not gotten them at my home. They said if they made an exception for me, they would have to do so for 2,000 other people. Did 2,000 other residents have their

water turned off that day? I know at least three did because they were there along with me. Is this a tactical way for the town to make money? I asked for Mayor John Novak to call me, and when he did, I was astounded. He started the conversation by telling me that no matter what I said, he was not going to give me a different answer than his employees did earlier. Basically, he told me he is a lawyer, and he is right and I am wrong. I tried to explain I was appealing to him as a new resident of Barnegat and in good conscience to try and understand my situation. I also let him know I was not used to being treated in such an ugly manner as I had been by his staff that day and could not believe what transpired with the police. He apologized for them and offered me a free copy of my tax statement (a $2 value) because that had also been mailed to the old address. Thank you, Mr. Mayor! Continued on Page 38

The SandPaper/Wednesday, October 12, 2016

Continued from Page 6 and many attitudes are as well. There are those who believe that the government should intervene and take control of settling gang problems. So many youths come from a home where the father particularly is absent. Young men need the strength and correction from a caring father figure. Respect should be taught in the home early along with guiding a child to learn discipline. There should be accountability for behavior and actions. Responsibility is teaching a child that we must live with the consequences of our actions. There are boundaries and limits we do not cross. This teaching is the job of parents. Schools and churches are there to assist parents, but they are not the parents. Yes, I believe parents should be held accountable for the actions of their children. I believe there is a distinct difference in the philosophies of both parties. I see the Democratic platform and its philosophy as one embracing death. Abortion on demand is killing babies; mercy killing is condoned as being compassionate. Now we are seeing states allowing the planning and execution

of planned death (suicide). The Affordable Health Care Act was pushed through quickly by our Democratic Party to care for the needs of all. Now many seniors are finding that doctors are not allowing certain procedures or surgeries to be done, as the costs are too prohibitive under this act. The waiting time for services has increased and often alternative procedures are just not offered to many elderly for it seems that their health issues do not rank high in priority. So many drift along without serious medical attention. I see these issues of sanctity of life as paramount to our society and in the choosing of the direction we want to go. All people should be protected and cared for – the unborn, the growing child, the disabled and the elderly. All should be respected and treated with dignity. A society will be judged by the way it takes care of its people. It is not the beautifully erected buildings, infrastructure and financial foundations that mark a society as great. It is the way its people are treated. I will be voting for these principles that I think make a life worth living. All social justice begins in the womb and continues on through life until a natural death. I am choosing the party that respects life and does all that it can to make lives better. J.R.

T

he Barnegat Volunteer Fire Co. presents a comedy night featuring Paul Venier on Friday, Oct. 21 at the firehouse on Birdsall Street. Doors open at 6:30; show starts at 7:30. Venier began his career as an entertainer in the 1970s when he was with a Long Islandbased band known as Stark Naked. Later that decade, he played in various bands that were featured at numerous Jersey Shore venues. In the early 1980s, Venier veered to standup comedy, where he incorporated music into his routines, using the piano and guitar. “I have been called the King of Fundraisers by many and that is because 95 percent of my shows are fundraising events,” he said. Tickets are $20 per person in advance and $25 at the door. For a reservation, call Janice Deisler at 609-698-4698. —E.E.

Program Reveals Real Ghost Stories

T

he Stafford branch of the Ocean County Library gets into the Halloween spirit on Wednesday, Oct. 19, at 7 p.m. with a program by the Burlington County Paranormal Investigators of New Jersey. The BCPI team, led by Paul Dixon, will describe their own experiences in dealing with hauntings, as well as how they help those who suspect there may be paranormal activity in their home or business. They will discuss how they start a new case, from interviewing clients to how they put a team together to investigate. Group members will also demonstrate different instruments used to detect activity, and will display photos from prior investigations. “I became interested in the paranormal at an early age,” Dixon said. “My aunt started the first paranormal society in South Jersey in 1959. As a little kid, I wanted to go on some of her haunting investigation, but she wanted me to wait until I got older.” To register for the program, call the branch at 609-597-3381. Dixon said he will soon launch an online radio show available through spreaker.com. —E.E.

She said there will be forms available for anyone who wants to join the Friends, which raises funds to help support and sponsor library programs. Much of that is done through their book sales, held several times a year. “We help sponsor the brain games program and the adult writers club,” said Bouton. “We also sponsor concerts and speaker appearances. We help the youth services librarian with summer programs.” Bouton said the group sponsors two $1,000 scholarships for a Southern Regional High School student interested in a career in library science. “All it costs is $5 to join,” she said. “It’s the best bargain on the Island.” For more information and to register for the concert, call the branch at 609-494-2480. —E.E. 9990) Attendees can meet physicians, take part in free health screenings and more.

FALL GUYS: The Duke Robillard band is set for Friday night, followed by another blues great, Joe Louis Walker, then the Americana-Irish folk act Emish, and a new open mic event Monday.

Tuckerton’s Lizzie Rose Music Room Keeps Lineup Hot for Off-Season

T

he temperature may be dropping, but the lineup is sizzling at the Lizzie Rose Music Room in Tuckerton this weekend. First up, Friday, the great guitarist Duke Robillard performs in support of his new album, Blues Full Circle (released on Sony Plain in September). The twice Grammy-nominated and multiBlues-Award-winning Robillard produces “killer guitar tones in a small combo setting,” with Bruce Bears (piano, Hammond organ); Brad Hallen (acoustic and electric bass); Mark Teixeira (drums); and several special guests. Robillard is known for his thick, dynamic jazz/ swing/funk/blues guitar playing and songs full of power and urgency. “This album really does represent a full circle of blues for me,” states Robillard. “Eight of the tunes are new compositions, and three tunes here represent songs I wrote as much as 30 to 45 years ago, when I was leader and front man for the original Roomful of Blues in the 1970s. We hope you enjoy our back-to-basics approach to the music here. Just straightforward, small band, old school blues.” The album title is a metaphor for Robillard’s full-time return to active performing and recording after a nearly yearlong hiatus for rotator cuff surgery and rehabilitation. The cover artwork is Robillard’s original painting. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are

$32.50 in advance or $36 at the door. Saturday, Oct. 15, the Lizzie Rose welcomes blues trailblazer Joe Louis Walker, described as “one of the greatest bluesmen of his generation.” He is a four-time Blues Music Award winner and 2013 Blues Hall of Fame inductee, appearing on multiple Grammy-winning albums, known worldwide for his “mesmerizing” guitar work and “soultestifying” voice. Walker’s latest album is titled Everybody Wants a Piece. Walker’s show starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $30 in advance, $35 that night. On Sunday, same time, same ticket prices, but something a little different is the five-piece band Emish, “high-powered Americana folk rock with an Irish heart.” The New York-native group, formed in 2005, has forged its sound by combining influences with a grassroots philosophy in the Hudson Valley and made its name by playing venues small and large, from theaters to folk and Irish festivals across the country. Sunday’s show was rescheduled from August. One more note: In exciting local music news, as of Monday, Oct. 17, Lizzie Rose hosts the area’s newest weekly open mic event, at 7:30 p.m. for a $5 door charge. The stage is open. Snacks will be for sale, and audience members may bring beverages of choice. For more information, visit lizzierosemusic.com. —V.F.

PSAA Art Portraits Convey More Than Sense of Person

T

he art of fine portraiture is more than just a pretty face; the best portraits portray the emotional life of the sitter. That’s why so many portraits done from life are more satisfying to the artist and the viewer than those copied from photographs. Alas, unlike days of old, few artists have the studio or the models available to paint or draw from life, and that’s what makes Pine Shores Art Association’s life model sessions so needed and popular. The results of the studious artists who have made use of the Sunday and Monday night portrait classes and Thursday night life class (nude model) are on display in the Pine Shores Art Association’s Portrait Show. Artist Tom Doyle is always at his PSAA easel on Sundays, and artists often clamor to get a spot nearest the artist to watch as he creates an image from conté crayons and pastels, deftly finding shadows and lights to build his portraits. His finished piece in the show, “Woman with Earrings,” is the top of his form. Artist Nancy Camilleri is a frequenter of the portrait class, and her charcoal drawing of “Billy” is brimming with the child’s obvious glee. Artist Brad Thomas entered a nude drawing, “Thursday Life Drawing,” done in charcoal and pastel. “Monique” by Mee Kyong Sohn is a lovely figure of a woman, and A. Morcoe’s oil portrait “Pensive Study” captures the emotions of the sitter. Two portraits of artist Tom Rutledge, who must have stepped in one session as model, by Kelly Sterr and Richard Tarczynski are very telling of his mild demeanor. Both Joyce Lawrence’s oil portrait “Michael” and Linda Coulter’s pastel “Blossom” are from life but may have been informed through the use of photos of their subjects – but drawing from life is best. And just to prove this opinion wrong, a look at Tom Rutledge’s watercolor of his son playing the guitar was created using photos, and “The Supplicant” is as sensitive a portrait as anyone could ask. “Siesta” colored pencil by Cathy Heller is carefully crafted. Then we have animal portraits, which are rarely completed from life as the animals just don’t stand still long enough. Anyone could fall in love with Dee Turba’s “Touch of Red,” a gouache painting of a bunny, or “Sweet Sophie,” a bulldog watercolor by Joan Dandeo. Danny Ng is an artist who made his living creating monumental figures on movie theater billboards and loves to create monumental figures from history, such as his “Julius Caesar.” The theatric is evident. Jim Oakley’s watercolor of a fireman, “Seen It All,” is also on the side of creating an icon. Not everyone in the art club wanted to create a serious portrait. PSAA President Paul Hartelius made a self-portrait collage using snippets of scrapbooking paper. Titled “Going to Pieces,” it is a fantastic work of ingenuity. Linda Reddington decided to mine the Halloween scene for portraits by painting a smiling Jack o’Lantern for “Orange Is the New Flak.” And Paul Daukas, a well-known devotee of Picasso, created a Picasso-like pirate in “Captain Jack Sparrow.”

Comic Finds His Inner George Burns

O

ne of America’s most cherished entertainers is brought to life when impressionist Fran Docherty presents “George Burns Tonight” on Wednesday, Oct. 19, at the Long Beach Island branch of the Ocean County Library and Tuesday, Oct. 25, at the Waretown branch. Both programs begin at 2 p.m,. A retired schoolteacher from Smithville, Docherty said he would portray Burns at the age of 85. Born Nathan Birnbaum, Burns was 100 years old when he died on March 9, 1996. His slow-paced, gravelly voice, arched eyebrow and ever-present cigar were familiar trademarks for nearly 75 years. Docherty said the program includes Burns reminiscing about his childhood on New York’s Lower East Side, and then his career in vaudeville, radio and TV and in the movies. Of course, Burns had an equally famous partner: his wife, Gracie Allen, who will be portrayed by Docherty’s wife, Majo Docherty. Burns and Allen had long-running radio and TV shows. “She’ll come out and do some routines and songs with me,” Docherty said of Majo. Docherty said he would also have Burns tell stories about his best friend, Jack Benny, and anecdotes from other show biz stars during his heyday. “I think what made George Burns a very special person was how he was able to have such a long career, starting out in vaudeville and then, in the 1970s, (he) became a movie star and attracted a whole new group of fans,” he said. Docherty was referring to Burns’ winning an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor at age 80 for his role as Al Lewis in the “Sunshine Boys” in 1975. He was the oldest Oscar winner until Jessica Tandy won for Best Actress for “Driving Miss Daisy” in 1989. Two years later, Burns played the title role in “Oh, God!” co-starring John Denver. The film spawned two sequels. In 1988, Burn recorded a song that nearly made the Top 40, “I Wish I Was 18 Again.” Before his Burns routine, Docherty said he would open with various other impressions of celebrities including Ed Sullivan, Rodney Dangerfield, Paul Lynde, Kermit the Frog, Jack Benny and Walter Cronkite, as well as Carroll O’Connor and Jean Stapleton as Archie and Edith Bunker on “All in the Family,” and Christopher Lloyd as Jim Ignatowski on “Taxi.” While teaching, Docherty moonlighted as a comedian, working various clubs, colleges and business functions. He has entertained American troops in USO shows in Europe, Asia, the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. Docherty also has written jokes for Jay Leno and David Letterman. To register for the program, call the LBI (609-494-2480) or Waretown (609-693-5133) branches. —E.E.

he Maximilian Foundation is hosting its annual Striped Bass Boat Tournament & Family Fish Fry at the Manahawkin Elks Lodge Nov. 4 to 6 to raise funds for the organization. The events are open to anyone who would like to come, have fun and benefit the foundation, which supports bona fide programs that work with children and adolescents’ insecurities through counseling, substance abuse awareness and education. This is a multi-day event in two parts – the boat tournament, which runs from Friday, Nov. 4, to Sunday, Nov. 6, and the Family Fish Fry on Nov. 6. Folks can buy tickets and attend the Family Fish Fry whether or not they are entered in the fishing tournament. The tournament awards cash prizes: first place, $2,000; second place, $1,000; third place, $500. (These prize amounts are based on the maximum of 25 boats entering. If fewer boats enter, prizes will be adjusted accordingly.) Manahawkin Elks Lodge, at 520 Hilliard Blvd., is the host location for the fish fry and for the tournament-related signups, meeting, weigh-in and awards. The schedule of tourney events follows. • Captains dinner/meeting begins at 6 p.m. Friday, Nov. 4. • Fishing begins, 4 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 5, and ends at noon Sunday, Nov. 6. • Early entry deadline (for discounted entry fee) is Oct. 14. See the website themaximilianfoundation. org. for complete details. The Family Fish Fry, open to the public, begins at noon Sunday, and food is served from 1 to 5 p.m. Activities include volleyball, horseshoes, live entertainment, a silent auction and a 50/50 raffle. Tickets for the fish fry are: adults, $15 in advance, $20 at the door; and children younger than 13, $8. To register boats for the tournament, go to the website themaximilianfoundation.org; its Facebook page also has a link. To pre-register for Fish Fry tickets, go to themaximilianfoundation.org/family-fish-fry. The foundation’s focus, efforts and mission are to help support those programs designed to strengthen individuals, build character and confidence, thus allowing children and adolescents to better cope with life’s challenges, develop strong life skills and learn to believe in themselves. The foundation has partnered with Southern Regional School District to fund an expansion of the STYLE (Student Team Building Youth Leadership & Experience) program for the 2016-17 school year. “Our 2016 fundraising will allow us to continue and expand this program for the 2017-18 school year,” said organization representatives in a press release.

“LBI’s Freshest Seafood for Over 60 Years” Large Shrimp

Domestic Violence Seminars at OCC

A

ccording to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, one in three women and one in four men have experienced some form of physical violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime. In recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month during the month of October, Ocean County College is sponsoring two days of free seminars on the college’s main campus in Toms River. At 9:30 and 11 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 17, and Tuesday, Oct. 18, representatives from Dottie’s House and Providence House – which provide domestic violence services and shelter – will set up information tables in Room 104 of the Gateway Building Lecture Hall. Guest speaker Laura McCoy of Providence House Domestic Violence Services of Catholic Charities for Burlington and Ocean counties will discuss domestic violence services offered through the Domestic Violence 101 and Dating Violence programs. Breann Gesicki, from the counseling center at the St. Francis Community Center in the Brant Beach section of Long Beach Township, will speak about gender norms, domestic violence advocate training, outreach services and education. And on Tuesday only, Hillary Bryce from the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office will discuss the office, victim services and the logistics of restraining orders. OCC’s Student Support Services Club will hold a bake sale both days, with proceeds donated to Dottie’s House and Providence House, and on Tuesday, seminar attendees and others can drop off new or gently used purses – filled with anything that might make a woman’s stay in a shelter more comfortable – in Room 104 of the Gateway Building Lecture Hall. Also on Tuesday, faculty, staff, students and campus visitors are invited to wear purple to show “solidarity against violence of all types,” the college explains.

District Legislators: ‘No’ to Gas Tax Hike But Measure Passes Refused to Buckle Under Governor’s Pressure

W Jack Reynolds

CAUSEWAY BRIDGE WORK GEARS UP: Schiavone Construction Co. crewmembers began shifting traffic to the newly reconstructed north side of the East and West Thorofare bridges Monday, Oct. 10.

Single-Lane Traffic on Thorofare Bridges To Remain in Place Until Springtime

S

tarting Monday, Oct. 10, the East and West Thorofare bridges on the Route 72 Causeway Bridge will be reduced to one lane in each direction. The single-lane pattern will start just west of the West Thorofare Bridge and end just east of the East Thorofare Bridge on Long Beach Island. This new traffic pattern will remain until springtime to permit the removal and replacement of the existing bridge deck joints on the south side of the bridges as well as a new bridge deck pavement overlay to enhance the riding surface for motorists, state Department of Transportation officials said. Schiavone Construction Co. will shift traffic to the newly recon-

structed north side of both thorofare bridges between 7 a.m. Monday through 5:30 a.m. the following day, DOT officials said. This new traffic pattern is expected to stay in place until mid-winter, when traffic will be shifted to the south side to enable the deck overlay to be installed on the north side. A daily shuttle service will continue to be offered to pedestrians commuting over the newly constructed Causeway Bridge until the existing Causeway Bridge is rehabilitated and its bridge sidewalk is reopened and accessible to pedestrians by summer 2020. Work on the $350 million Route 72/Manahawkin Bay Bridge project, which began in 2013, is anticipated

to carry through 2020. The exact scheduling of the labor is dependent upon weather and other influences. The 3-mile-long Causeway connects Stafford on the mainland with Ship Bottom on LBI. As part of the plan, a new bridge has been constructed parallel to the existing one over Manahawkin Bay, offering the security of a redundant route on or off the Island. The new bridge is 2,400 feet long with a vertical clearance of 55 feet over Manahawkin Bay. It presently has two lanes in each direction while the original Causeway Bridge is being rehabilitated. It will serve as the bridge for eastbound traffic when the project is finished. For more information, visit 511nj.org. —K.A.E.

ith most of the media attention in the past week being focused on the bizarre 2016 presidential race you might have missed the fact that the New Jersey Legislature passed a 23-cent gasoline tax increase last Friday. The measure, which Gov. Chris Christie has said he will sign into law, will go into effect on Nov. 1 or, at latest, two weeks after Christie actually affixes his John Hancock. The Garden State hadn’t increased its gasoline tax from 14.5 cents per gallon since 1988, leaving it with the second lowest such tax in all 50 states behind only Alaska. Now, in one fell swoop, it will have a gasoline tax of 37.5 cents a gallon, the seventh highest in the country and far higher than the national average of 21 cents. The bill passed by a 24-14 vote in the Senate; the vote in the Assembly was 44-27. Three of the no votes in Trenton came from the members of the 9th District, which includes all of Southern Ocean County. Variations of the bill had been considered and rejected for months. Gov. Christie and the Democratic leadership – Senate President Stephen M. Sweeney and State Assembly Speaker Vincent Prieto – had agreed that a gas tax increase was necessary to pump desperately needed funds into the Transportation Trust Fund

Little Egg Harbor Approves Route 539 Plan

Shooters Adds Outdoor Gun and Archery Range

O

utdoor sportsmen will soon have a place to practice their gunning and archery prowess as Shooters Sporting Center, on Route 539 in Little Egg Harbor, has received township planning board approval to add 20 shooting lanes and 15 archery lanes to its complex. Tom and Diane Gormley and their partners George Kurtz and Jim Meyers, doing business as GT Holdings LLC, opened Shooters’ state-of-theart indoor shooting range in 2013 to take advantage of the popularity of recreational target shooting. Shooters is the only such facility within an hour’s drive of Little Egg Harbor. With approval of an outdoor facility, they will add the shooting and archery lanes to their existing 15 indoor lanes for firearm shooting and 10 lanes for archery. Shooters also has 10,000 square feet of retail space for selling guns, ammunition, outdoor clothing and sports equipment. The orientation of the outdoor shooting range toward the Garden State Parkway will be mitigated by construction of 12- to 24-foot-high dirt berms surrounding the three sides of the range. The berms will also help muffle the gunfire noise that could affect neighbors beyond 50 feet from the

shooting complex off Thomas Avenue. The archery ranges are unique in that they are within wooded acreage to simulate actual hunting experiences with dummy deer and bears. Operation is restricted to daylight hours. Because the existing parking lot can accommodate the possible addition of 35 vehicles during peak use, the facility did not need to update its Coastal Area Facilities Review Act permit from the N.J. Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Land Use and Regulation. During the Sept. 1 planning board meeting, the township also approved the application for a 9,243-squarefoot Dollar General store on 2.18 acres on the west side of Route 539, south of Sixth Avenue. Although the store is within the “Scenic Gateway” overlay district of the General Business district, the store was granted waivers from provisions requiring parking in the rear of the building – the 34 parking spaces will be at the front and side of the building – as well as waivers from the required 50-foot wooded buffers. A few ornamental trees at the front and in a parking island were found to be sufficient by the board and the township’s landscape engineer. — Pat Johnson

that pays for road and bridge construction and repairs throughout the state as well as New Jersey Transit projects but which, as the year went on, was running on fumes. They disagreed, however, on how to offset the gas tax increase with other tax cuts, leading to stalemate and Christie’s executive order, which called for a halt to all non-essential road, bridge and mass transit projects on July 1. Christie wanted a penny cut in the state’s sales tax; the Democrats worried that would create a budget deficit. The two sides finally agreed on a compromise at the end of September and moved the bill through the Legislature. New Jersey’s sales tax rate will be cut but only from 7 percent to 6.875 percent next year and to 6.625 percent in 2018. The state’s estate tax will also be phased out by 2018, which had critics complaining most of the offsetting tax decreases would benefit the Garden State’s richest residents. The 9th District legislators – Sen. Christopher J. Connors and Assembly members Brian E. Rumpf and DiAnne C. Gove – wanted no part of the compromise. They didn’t want the gas tax increased even if corresponding cuts were made, considering it all a shell game. Instead, they simply wanted a penny of the existing sales tax to be dedicated to the Transportation Trust Fund. That would have led to a cut in state expenditures in other areas, something they are in favor of and are convinced their constituents are as well. They released a blistering statement soon after voting against the measure on Friday. “The entire charade leading up to the gas tax increase has been a disgrace and an insult to the working class commuters who will be forced to bail out of the state. For us, this scheme never passed the smell test. Regardless of the political pressure, we would never sell out our constituents and, accordingly, we didn’t hesitate to break with the Governor on this tax increase. “First, this tax disparately targets many of our constituents who are commuters living in bedroom communities, with no access to mass transit, driving considerable distances to their jobs. Just as with school funding, residents of our area will pay more only to watch as a substantial amount of revenue from the gas tax increase will go to fund mass transportation projects primarily located in urban areas. “More than 126,000 of our constituents are registered EZPass users, the most of any legislative district in the state. Not coincidently, these are the same middle class people hit hardest by the Corzine toll hikes. Consumers will also see the gas tax passed on through the higher cost of goods while having less disposable income because they are paying more at the pump.” — Rick Mellerup

A Ceremonious Beginning

Construction Starts On Beach Haven’s New Borough Hall W earing hard hats and wielding a large, golden shovel, Beach Haven Council members dug into the dirt at the construction site of the new borough hall on Engleside Avenue during the groundbreaking ceremony held early Friday morning, Oct. 7. The ritual, attended by project officials, borough employees and local residents, was especially momentous for the town considering the former building, which was in existence for over 50 years before being demolished last fall, had remained vacant since it was ruined by Superstorm Sandy in 2012. “In a year we might be in this building. That’s the goal,” Mayor Nancy Taggart Davis announced as she lifted the shovel. After the former building was taken down and new pilings were installed, construction of the new building was brought to a halt this past May, when initial project bids came in at least $1.5 million over budget. The lowest bid received in the spring was $7.2 million, according to Richard Crane, borough manager. By changing the scope and design of the project through eliminating the renovation of the police department and filtration buildings as well as moving all departments to the new borough hall, the costs were reduced by about $2 million, said architect Ronald Sebring. The borough awarded a $5.7 million contract to Santorini Construction Inc. of Neptune last month, after the project went out for rebid in August. Santorini President John Scheidt said he expects to begin mobilizing crews this week with an anticipated completion date of late July 2017, weather permitting. Initial onsite work will include excavation as well as pile caps and concrete work. “We’re very, very happy to have them doing the construction, and we know that they’re going to do a

wonderful job,” said Taggart Davis. Borough operations will continue to be conducted at the Emergency Operations Center at the old Coast Guard station on Pelham Avenue until the new building is ready to be occupied. Though council had initially considered other options for the project, the members ultimately decided that constructing a new building at the current site would be the most cost-effective plan. To help fund the related costs, the borough has received $5 million in federal Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery funds through the state Economic Development Authority. “This is just another example of a great project that we hope helps not only the Beach Haven municipal complex, but also all the businesses and surrounding citizens, to protect them in the event of another storm,” stated Bruce Ciallella, EDA office of recovery managing director. The EDA was tasked with helping the state’s small businesses and communities post-Sandy, and has provided over $200 million to 1,300 small businesses and municipalities, Ciallella said. Upon completion of Beach Haven’s new municipal building, 25 percent, or $1.25 million, of the loan will be forgiven. The remaining cost will be financed as a 30-year, low-interest loan. Amidst thanking the many people involved with the project, the mayor led a moment of silence for those in Florida, Haiti and the Bahamas who are facing hardships caused by Hurricane Matthew. “We certainly understand and sympathize with their huge misfortune this week,” Taggart Davis said. “Let us hope that, should they need to, their communities show the same unity ours has to rally together, to rebuild and repair for the future.” — Kelley Anne Essinger kelleyanne@thesandpaper.net

Long Beach Township Ballot Question Asks Voters About Possible Shuttle Fare

V

oters in Long Beach Township will see candidates names, two state questions and one local question on the ballot next month. The latter asks residents to weigh in on whether the municipality should be allowed to charge a fee to ride the seasonal shuttle buses, should this be necessary in the future. The question in full is as follows: “Shall the Township of Long Beach be permitted to engage in the business of transportation, and, therefore, be authorized to charge fares to persons to use the existing municipal transportation system, as described in an ordinance of the Board of Commissioners of the Township of Long Beach entitled ‘An ordinance amending an ordinance entitled, “Code of the

Township of Long Beach, County of Ocean, State of New Jersey, 1997” as the same in Chapter 195 pertains to the municipal transportation system,’ which was passed on April 4, 2016?” During a recent town hall gathering of the seven candidates in contention for the three seats in the township governing body this fall, running mates Thomas Beaty, Danielle Hagler and Donald Myers praised the LBI Shuttle, but expressed concern about funding down the road. “I think all of us will agree it’s a great thing,” Hagler said of the service, but she, Beaty and Myers called for more transparency on current and future funding. Last year the township was awarded a three-year $300,000 grant to help support the shuttle, and this is supple-

mented by $10,000 annual contributions from each Island municipality, as well advertisements in the form of bus wraps and signs inside the buses. Rider donations are also accepted and encouraged on the shuttles. “We’ve made every effort to keep costs down,” township Commissioner Joseph Lattanzi, who established the shuttle service three years ago, said Monday. The program is voluntarily managed by municipal employees as well as members of the LBI Chamber of Commerce, who also work voluntarily to pursue advertising, which “significantly defrays the cost of running the shuttles,” he added. The question – which Lattanzi believes needs to be framed with the Continued on Page 36

Local Has Lead Role in ABC’s ‘Speechless’

Rep. LoBiondo Rejects Trump, Supports Pence

C

ongressman Frank LoBiondo, whose district includes all of Southern Ocean Country save the western half of Stafford Township and all of Barnegat Township, has joined the growing list of GOP leaders who have rejected the presidential candidacy of Donald Trump. LoBiondo released a strongly worded statement on Saturday, the day after the Washington Post released an 11-year-old video that showed Trump bragging about kissing and groping women and trying to bed the married co-host of “Access Hollywood.” “Saying this election has been incredibly disappointing is an understatement,” began the statement. “It never had to be this way. We should be debating the issues that affect our nation’s future. Instead we have two horribly flawed choices. It is clear that neither Donald Trump nor Hillary Clinton can unify a deeply divided country. “I have repeatedly and strongly spoken out against Mr. Trump when he degrades and insults women, minority groups and Gold Star families. I will not vote for a candidate who boasts of sexual assault. It is my conclusion that Mr. Trump is unfit to be President. “Similarly Secretary Clinton’s dishonorable actions – flagrantly ignoring federal laws, repeated failures in judgment on critical foreign policy and national security decisions, and intentionally lying to Congress and the American people – have disqualified her. “I cannot support and will not vote for Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton to be President of the United States. I will write in Governor Mike Pence for President.” The SandPaper made repeated efforts to contact Congressman Tom MacArthur, who represents a district that includes part of Stafford Township and all of Barnegat Township, to ascertain his position on Trump. It had been reported in other publications that he had endorsed Trump earlier this campaign season. The emails and messages sent to his campaign office received no response. —R.M.

Congressman: Don’t Close Up Joint Base MacArthur Gives Talk

A

s a provider of more than 40,000 jobs, Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst is the largest employer in South Jersey and the second largest employer in New Jersey. And with the possibility of the joint base being scaled back or shut down, Congressman Tom MacArthur has said he “would do all he could do” to make sure the sprawling facility stays open. “The base is absolutely essential, not only to the economy of our district, but to our national security,” said MacArthur, speaking at a recent meeting of the Barnegat-Waretown Chamber of Commerce. The joint base is an amalgamation of McGuire Air Force Base, Army training base Fort Dix and the Naval Engineering Station in Lakehurst, which were all merged in 2009. It covers parts of Burlington and Ocean counties. The 55-year-old Republican, who represents District 3, was first elected in 2014. Among his numerous assignments is the House Committee on Armed Services, where he is on the Subcommittee on Tactical Air and Land Forces, and is vice chairman of the Subcommittee on Military Personnel. “The base pumps in about $7 billion to our economy in South Jersey annually,” MacArthur said. “These are our restaurants and stores, and

pages of new regulations,” he said. “During the Obama administration, agencies have almost become the fourth branch of government, after the executive, judicial and legislative.” An example would be the “Joint-Employer Rule,” in which he said companies can be held responsible for labor violations committed by their contractors. “This could really hurt restaurant franchises,” said MacArthur, a former insurance industry executive. “Fast-food chains such as McDonald’s and Burger King might assert more authority over, or even cut ties altogether

with, local franchise owners. Those restaurants employ a lot of people around here, and this rule might result in some of them shutting down.” MacArthur will be seeking his second term on Nov. 8. He is opposed by Democrat Frederick Lavergne and Constitution Party candidate Lawrence Berlinskii Jr. “I ran for Congress to work with Democrats and Republicans to solve the pressing problems we face, and to be a strong voice for the people of Burlington and Ocean counties,” he said. — Eric Englund ericenglund@thesandpaper.net

MORE SAND: As seen from Beach Haven, one of contractor Great Lakes Dock and Dredge Co.’s dredges resumes restoration work off Brant Beach after returning from safe harbor.

Replenishment Ending Soon In Current Mid-Island Section U.S. Army Corps Still ‘Determining Next Steps’

B

each replenishment repair work has resumed in Long Beach Township following a brief pause while contractor Great Lakes Dock and Dredge Co.’s Padre Island and Dodge Island dredges sat in safe harbor due to this past weekend’s stormy weather and rough seas. Current operations – from about 46th Street in Brant Beach to Nebraska Avenue in Beach Haven Park – should be complete by mid- or late October. Although the current project area was filled previously starting in spring 2015, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the federal project sponsor, determined these beaches required additional sand due to erosion last fall and winter. “The October (2015) and January storms eroded significant amounts of sand in areas that are part of our current contract,” the Army Corps explained. “We then received approval to pump additional sand to bring those areas back to the full design beach template. “This additional sand will further help to reduce the risk of storm damages and improve the condition of the adjacent beaches within the whole system in the long run.” Great Lakes was scheduled to begin pumping in Ship Bottom following the completion of work in the township, but as of Tuesday, according to Army Corps press officer Steve Rochette, “The team is still determining next steps as far as Holgate and Ship Bottom. We’re working through what can be done based on physical, environmental and financial constraints.” Ship Bottom Mayor William Huelsenbeck said Tuesday the USACE informed him the borough’s beaches are, laterally, in the “tolerance area” and therefore may not need full restoration. “They asked me about tapering both ends” of Ship Bottom, the mayor noted of his most recent conversation with the Corps. “I would like the sand we’re entitled to. Wherever they put it is fine with me.” Holgate, on the other hand, was not originally scheduled for a beachfill redo, but the Corps is considering placing additional sand there as well, with no guarantees that this will happen. Meanwhile, Harvey Cedars – which is not part of the current contract – recently introduced an ordinance to secure replenishment, via cost share, while Great Lakes is still working locally. The ordinance allocates $631,000 to repair the beaches from Hudson Avenue to 80th Street, which were damaged by Winter Storm Jonas last January. The total cost of that project is $2.1 million. “If the dredges are still here, the cost for mobilizing them is $200,000,” Mayor Jonathan Oldham stated at a special borough commission meeting. “If the dredges are out of the area, the cost would be $4 million. We have to act as long

as the equipment is on the Island.” Harvey Cedars’ beaches were first restored in 2010. They were repaired after Hurricane Irene in 2011, and again in the spring of 2013 following Superstorm Sandy. While the Federal Emergency Management Agency declared those two storms to be emergencies, allowing for restoration at no cost, that was not the case with Jonas. As Rochette reiterated, any upcoming work in Harvey Cedars would be “funded by the community and the state as additional work under our Project Partnership Agreement. Essentially, it saves the community on the high mobilization costs associated with dredging and placing sand.” For project updates, visit nap.usace.army. mil. —J.K.-H.

Route 539 Detail Yields Speeders, Seat Belt Violators

A

late-summer traffic safety initiative on Route 539 resulted in 129 summonses issued for various infractions, according to Al Della Fave, spokesman for the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office. Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph Coronato launched the initiative last year in response to 11 fatal crashes and numerous serious accidents that had occurred on the rural highway from 2013 to July 2015. The detail, which ran from Aug. 12 to Aug. 28, covered 38 miles of roadway between Tuckerton and Plumsted Township. The twolane highway runs southeast to northwest through Ocean County and is frequently used by local seniors, commuters traveling to the Trenton area, tourists looking to vacation along the Jersey Shore and a large number of commercial trucks. Aside from county law enforcement agencies, the detail also included police from Tuckerton borough and Little Egg Harbor, Stafford, Barnegat and Lacey townships. Della Fave said Coronato’s goal was to bring vigilant and aggressive enforcement of all those motor vehicle moving and equipment violations that are major contributory causes to crashes. These causes include, but are not limited to, improper passing, excessive speed, DWI, aggressive driving, improper turning, failing to yield, inattentive driving, disregard of traffic signal and following too closely. DellaFave said there 283 motor vehicles stops, resulting in 129 summonses. These included 23 for speeding, 19 for seat belt violations and 30 for equipment malfunctions. Continued on Page 36

Stafford Schools Seeking $10.1M For Upgrades

T

he Stafford Township School District on Dec. 13 will be seeking approval from township voters on a school referendum bond of $10.1 million, and with good reason, said the district superintendent. “We have a lot of aged items in our facilities that need to be replaced,” said Superintendent George J. Chidiac. “A lot of items are original from when the buildings were constructed. And instead of replacing parts all the time – many of them don’t even have replacement parts – we wanted to address these needs in a more longterm way.” The district is home to Oxycocus Elementary, Ocean Acres Elementary, McKinley Avenue Elementary, Stafford Intermediate School and the Ronald L. Meinders Primary Learning Center. Each facility needs upgrades to safety and security devices as well as energy and environmental systems, according to Chidiac. “We have a boiler in one of the buildings that’s 70 years old,” he said. “We have some security cameras internally, but only by the front doors. We have fire and burglar alarms that are outdated and need to be upgraded. There’s a lot that needs to be done. “Our first and foremost priority is to create a safe learning environment for our students, and we believe this referendum will cover us in these areas for a long time.” According to Business Administrator Dan Smith, the district is seeking to acquire 40 percent in funding from the state to help defray the impact of the $10.1 million bond – about $4.04 million – with the remaining $5.96 million expected to be covered by the district’s debt service fund, which already comes through the tax levy. Smith said the referendum is not expected to increase the tax levy. “The debt service fund is used strictly for debt,” he said. “We’re get-

Incumbent President, Director of Local Library Seek BH Board Seats he candidates running for the two seats available on the Beach Haven School Board are incumbent President Irene Hughes and Jean Frazier, who has been the director of the Beach Haven Public Library since 2010. Hughes, who is up for reelection, was elected to the board in November 2013. She was unanimously voted to be the new president in 2015 after former, long-time President Mary Louise Bellingeri decided not to run for reelection after serving 20 years. “My goals continue to be the same as the board I have been lucky enough to sit with: to provide the children of Beach Haven an excellent education they deserve, that the community can be proud of, in a manner fiscally responsible to the taxpayers,” Hughes stated. She said she would be happy to remain president of the board. “It has been an honor to serve this sitting board as president. If the next board were to elect me to that role, then, yes, I would gladly fill that role,” said Hughes.

A former elementary school librarian in Bucks County, Pa., for more than 25 years, Frazier said she is eager to bring her “life experiences to benefit the children and taxpayers of our town” as a candidate for the local school board. “My goals for the Beach Haven School include improving the library education program and school library facilities,” she said. “Also I wish to help provide the best overall efficient education for our students while taking into account budgetary requirements. Our taxpayers deserve to have the best for their students at a reasonable, obtainable cost.” Frazier has also been an active member of the Beach Haven Community Arts Program for many years, often volunteering at the concerts in the park. She is currently vice president of the organization. Current school board member Kathy Kelly is not running for reelection. Members Carol Labin, Meredith O’Donnell and Jen Tomlinson are still within their terms. —K.A.E.

ting close to the end of a previous debt schedule and within the next three or four years that will come to end, so we can add this new debt and it will get paid over the next 20 years with no tax increase.” According to a special referendum page on the district website (staffordschools.org), a facilities committee has outlined all of the needs that would be covered by the referendum. All of the items center on replacing or improving outdated, inefficient equipment and systems. The critical needs in all schools include: district-wide implementation of consistent security, access and camera-system improvements; new fire alarm and public-address systems, as well as new emergency generators for power outages; replacement of heating, air conditioning and ventilation (HVAC) systems and original

electrical infrastructure; replacement of doors for functionality and security; providing accessible toilet rooms and upgrading restroom facilities for overall functionality, water quality and conservation to better meet the needs of students and staff. With the seemingly ever-increasing threat of security breaches in schools across the country, Chidiac said it was vitally important to take the safety of the district’s students seriously. “The New Jersey School Security Task Force gives recommendations for improved safety, with a 50-page document that outlines certain security measures,” he said. “And the bottom line is we want to have safe, secure schools, where our parents can be happy that their children will be in a safe place while they’re being educated. We want to make sure we’re prepared, and we always have to be prepared for the worst.” Chidiac said the “driving force” behind the referendum is the fact the district is eligible for up to 40 percent funding from the state. “That’s a big number,” he said. “If we tried to do all of this through our annual budget, it would be fully reliant on the taxpayers. But if the state can give us $4 million of what we need, we believe that’s a no-brainer. We would rather keep our capital reserve money for our programs and personnel because we’re very proud of them and want to keep them in place.” Several information sessions have been scheduled to acclimate residents with the details of the referendum and its outlined projects. Starting with the board of education meeting on Thursday, Oct. 20 (7 p.m.) at the Oxycocus School, 250 North Main St. in Manahawkin, an additional “Referendum Information Night” at the Stafford Township Arts Center will be held Wednesday, Nov. 16. District representatives also will be meeting with the Stafford Republican Club, Beach Haven West and Ocean Acres civic associations on various dates. Chidiac said referendum presentations are open to all community organizations, and requests for such Continued on Page 36

Former Police Substation Site Sold to Development Company

A

proposed site for a police department substation in Barnegat Township was recently sold to Galaxy Rental Properties, according to an ordinance adopted by the Barnegat Township Committee on Oct. 4. The purchase price was $65,000 and was negotiated through Coldwell Banker – Home Connection Realty. Last year, township officials purchased the building, located on Lexington Boulevard in the Settlers Landing development, for $60,000 with plans on converting it to a satellite office for the police department. When announcing the proposed facility last year, then-Mayor Susan McCabe said the once-vibrant neighborhood had been plagued by crime problems, necessitating a greater police presence. McCabe, who is now a committeewoman, maintained her stance and voted against the ordinance. Mayor John Novak said he first

supported the idea for the facility, believing it was “an excellent opportunity to enhance police presence.” But earlier this year, he and a majority of committee members felt rising costs in other expenses such as health insurance forced them to re-think the issue. Committeeman Frank Caputo, liaison to the police department, said keeping the substation was “not feasible.” “We needed to sell the property and use the money for other areas,” he said. “In place of a substation in one area, it may be better to use roving patrols who can move from one location to another, since crime sprees can move in the same manner.” During a public hearing on the ordinance, resident Jake Taylor questioned the legality of the initial purchase. “You bought that building for a police substation, but you did not adopt an ordinance or a resolution to let the public know,” he said. —E.E

May Someday Rival Chowderfest?

‘LBI Fly’ Kite Festival All-Weather Success K

iting “queen” (as she is known in certain circles) Lisa Willoughby of Surf City stood in the Long Beach Island Grade School gymnasium Friday night, untying a knot in her line. The indoor portion of the International Kite Festival “LBI Fly” weekend was about to begin, and Willoughby was all poise and pleasantries as she explained the science behind indoor flying (a kiter is “always moving away from the kite, to create lift… It’s a consistent dance”), pausing periodically to welcome friends from the kiting community. As the panel of five judges situated themselves, volunteers rushed to find more chairs to accommodate the spectators who kept filing into the room. Earlier in the day she and other fliers had toured the Island’s three schools, delivering hour-long assemblies to all the students. A total of 40 kite-flying enthusiasts were invited to participate in various aspects of this year’s second annual festival, and about 60 volunteers helped to keep four days of activities flowing smoothly, Island-wide, in spite of dicey weather conditions. Kite experts came from Virginia, Massachusetts, New York, Canada, even San Diego, Calif. – for example, Lolly Hadzicki of the leading sport kite brand Revolution. “I just heard last year was so fabulous that I could not miss this year,” she said. She was particularly interested in the “mega flies” of Revolution kites on the beach, where dozens of fliers would stand in formation, almost shoulder-toshoulder, executing called maneuvers in a synchronized display. These are

regional fliers, Hadzicki explained, so it’s not like they can get together and practice. Touching upon the magic of the festival atmosphere, she said, “They come together and stuff just starts happening.” Warming up and demonstrating his technique before the competition was Dominic Guimond from Quebec, Canada, who had traveled to LBI with his four-man demonstration team called QI 4.2. Their goal is not to compete but to educate, inspire and entertain with their tricks. At the moment he was flying his “urban ninja” kite, a glider-style kite suited to indoor flying, which he said he enjoys doing because the opportunity to do so doesn’t arise as often. With his team he travels to festivals throughout much of the year, in Dieppe and Montreal, Canada, in Michigan and in Wildwood, Cape May County. The Long Beach Island Chamber of Commerce is the main festival sponsor and organizing body. The second year of the festival was easier to put together from a planning standpoint, according to Bill Hutson, vice president of the chamber’s board of directors, who was confident the second year’s additions and expansion would make for an allaround bigger, better event. Note to future attendees of the indoor fly: Dress in layers and expect to peel down. As the competition gets underway, the temperature inside the gym rises considerably; air conditioning would cause a disruptive breeze for the kites. Among the competitors in singleline and unlimited categories, music selections ranged from the stirring and oft-covered “Hallelujah” (written

OAR EYES: (Clockwise from opposite page) A sunlit preview brings kiters out to get their toys in the air. For everyone who’s ever said ‘When pigs fly ...,’ Friday as the day. Long-tailed flying objects fill the skies over Ship Bottom. At least dozen compete in Friday night’s indoor fly. Bubbles are a kiteflier’s side gig.

All wore their hearts on their leeves as they stepped, swooped, ipped and skipped along with their winged and “stringed” instruments. The judging criteria included choeography, execution and entertainment alue. One of the judges was Ship Botom resident Ron Graziano, who flew ites competitively for about 12 years nd gave it up about five years ago. For him, the impressive fliers are hose who know their music and fly o their music, emphasizing the strong arts and soft parts, and exhibit good ontrol and varied styles. Crowd appeal s a very big thing, he added. Making he kite interact with the audience and he judges shows risk and control, he xplained. Flier and volunteer Glenn Davison f Boston, Mass., would be in Bayview ark building butterfly kites with kids n Saturday and launching his LED-lit ites during the night fly Sunday. For im, the most fascinating aspects of ite flying are the physics involved nd the influence of atmospheric onditions. Outside, on the Sand On the Eighth and Ninth street eaches in Ship Bottom the next day, Walter and Maria Corsetti of Toronto were using the atmospheric conditions o their advantage, sending out giant ubbles to delight leaping children. By the end of the afternoon they had one through five gallons of bubble olution, which Walter makes in his

basement, a.k.a. laboratory, full of powdered polymers. Using an inexpensive cotton clothesline or deconstructed floor mop, dunked in a bucket of soapy water, the bubble blowing is the perfect gap-filler for when there’s not enough wind for kites. The Corsettis got into bubbles about three years ago as a supplement to their love of flying kites because “neither of us can sit in a chair,” Walter said – they would rather stay occupied. They discovered a whole society of bubble aficionados willing to share recipes and ideas for the best soapmaking formulas. Bubbles, so fleeting, so peaceful and fun to watch as they float and pop, have a certain universal appeal, he said. “It’s something about how they start, and flow, and die – it’s like a cycle of life thing,” he said. Creating them is also a way of understanding and communing with the environment, the interplay of temperature, humidity, bugs, dust and wind. Bubbles happen to thrive in damp weather, which seems to help them retain their shape better and prevent them from drying out, Maria said. So Saturday’s chilly, post-rain air was ideal. “We did the best with what we could today,” volunteer Robin Meaney said, given the downpour that brought things to a halt around 2 p.m. But the morning had seen an estimated 3,000 kite watchers out to see the whimsical wonders filling the sky. For the sake of balance and variety, the Island’s south and north ends would swap beach buggy rides and night fly activities from one year to the next, Continued on Page 36

Learning in a Marine Ecosystem ‘Classroom’

Playgrounds In Disrepair, Residents Say Potential Lawsuit ‘Waiting To Happen’

B

arnegat Township resident Doreen Carone wishes she could take her two young children to local parks, but due to what she said was a dangerous state of disrepair, she and her husband, Jason Elliott, have no choice but to take them to other communities. The two Schooner Avenue residents said Project Playground, which opened 10 years ago, is a lawsuit waiting to happen. “You’ve got broken equipment and areas not maintained,” said Carone during the public portion of the Oct. 4 township committee meeting. “There’s garbage strewn all over. You have beer bottles, broken bottles and cigarette butts. This was a problem over a year ago, and nothing has yet happened. It’s terrible that I can’t bring them to Barnegat, so we go to Manahawkin, Lacey or LBI.” She said mulch, which is spread out to cushion a child’s fall, is missing in many spots. Carone said statistics by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say 45 percent of playground injuries to children are broken limbs or internal injuries. “I’m worried that a child is going to get seriously injured, and then you will be liable,” she said. “Our taxes are going to have to go toward a lawsuit settlement if there is an injury.” Elliott said protective coating over metal steps had worn away and the “township’s response was to spray

‘Students Are the Scientists’ at Annual Summit

S

tudents from the Marine Academy of Technology and Environmental Science led field activities and hands-on roundtables as more than 300 fifth- through eighth-graders from throughout New Jersey gathered at Island Beach State Park for Clean Ocean Action’s 28th annual Fall Student Summit last Thursday, Oct. 6. “During the Summit, the marine ecosystem is the classroom and the students are the scientists,” stated Gianna Fischer, DW Bennett Fellow for Ocean Advocacy at COA. “The Summit inspires students with a sense of personal stewardship necessary for protecting the environment in the future.” The MATES peer educators taught the younger students to use seine nets to collect and identify common marine species of Barnegat Bay, and led a beach-profiling activity that underscored the importance of dunes as protection for coastal habitat. “It is important for COA to educate students because they are the future. The Student Summit is an opportunity to take environmental education out of the classroom and into nature for the day,” said Cindy Zipf, executive director of the nonprofit. “The Summit brings the classroom to life. Hands-on learning inspires students to explore their natural world. There is no substitute for a child holding a horseshoe crab and understanding that the creature’s survival is in their hands.” COA volunteer and education coordinator Amanda Wheeler, who orchestrated this year’s event, noted,

INSTILLING A SENSE OF STEWARDSHIP: Students are excited to inspect a small horseshoe crab at Clean Ocean Action’s 28th Annual Fall Student Summit, held last Thursday at Island Beach State Park. “During this year’s Fall Summit participants spent the morning as marine scientists sharing and discovering the amazing ocean and bay environment offered right here in New Jersey.” Wheeler, a retired teacher and avid environmentalist, hopes “the students who came to the Summit left with a greater appreciation of our natural re-

sources and a greater desire to protect and respect them.” Clean Ocean Action expressed its gratitude to MATES science instructor David Werner and his students for inspiring the younger students, and to MATES supervisor and Project Terrapin research coordinator John Wnek, along with the student leaders

of Project Terrapin, for their informative and fun presentations during the summit. For more information on the Student Summit or other Clean Ocean Action programs, visit CleanOceanAction.org or call COA’s main office at 732-872-0111. —J.K.-H.

eventually replace the playground and pay for what the lawsuit costs.” Elliott said smaller neighborhood pocket parks also need an overhaul.

“One time I saw some public works guys by one of the parks and I asked them about the broken equipment, but they were oblivious to it,”

he said. “Nobody uses them anymore because they, too, are in terrible shape,” added Carone. Committeewoman Susan McCabe, who serves as liaison to the recreation department, said public works is restructuring its staff to free more employees for focusing on parks and playgrounds. “We are instructing public works to create subcategories, and one will be playground and recreation areas,” said McCabe. “They will be responsible for weekly maintenance of these playgrounds and parks to give them the attention they deserve.” Deputy Mayor Albert Bille said Project Playground will soon be undergoing a makeover with new steel equipment installed in place of deteriorated pieces. However, Committeeman Frank Caputo expressed doubt anything would get done unless “we get to the core of the problem,” which he said is security. “You can talk about fixing this and fixing that, but unless you have security cameras identifying what is going on, you’ll get nowhere,” he said. “Police can go out and patrol, but kids can just hide until police leave the area. For years I’ve sat in the audience hearing the same stories over and over again. We spend good money trying to provide nice things, but if you don’t take the necessary protective measures, the problems are going to continue.” “You can’t say the committee has provided nice things because the parks are in terrible shape, and they have been that way for years,” said Carone. — Eric Englund

Red Cross Fire Safety Program Comes to Barnegat

M

ore than 270 residents in the Pinewood Estates and Brighton at Barnegat mobile home communities have free, new smoke alarms thanks to the American Red Cross Home Fire Campaign, which seeks to reduce deaths and injuries from home fires. On Oct. 8, numerous teams consisting of Red Cross staffers, Barnegat firefighters and other volunteers went house to house to offer the services. “We were able to reach out to around 500 homeowners,” said Paul Gass, Red Cross regional preparedeness manager. “We outfitted 279 homes with smoke alarms. The batteries are good for 10 years.” Gass said that in most instances, the alarms that were replaced had malfunctioned. “Many of them were broken,” he said. “In all instances, we tested to make sure that alarms were working.” According to literature handed out by the Red Cross, “Seven times a day someone in this country dies in a fire.

THE FUTURE OF BEACH HAVEN: (Clockwise from above) Charles Maschal, Ralph Skorge, Nancy Taggart Davis, Dan Allen and Tom Lynch discuss their campaigns during a ‘Meet the Candidates’ event held at the firehouse Saturday morning.

Five Candidates Vying for Seats On BH Council Forum Highlights Contenders’ Visions

I

ncumbent Beach Haven Council members Charles Maschal and Mayor Nancy Taggart Davis joined three other contenders — Ralph Skorge, Dan Allen and Tom Lynch — vying for the three seats on the council during a “Meet the Candidates” forum held at the firehouse Saturday morning. The event, hosted by the local taxpayers association, gave residents a chance to ask questions and get familiar with the candidates, who are looking to lead Beach Haven into the future. Concerns raised by the public ranged from the revitalization of the business and maritime districts, the viability of the Beach Haven School and the vision for the new borough hall and the Surflight Theatre complex to flooding, beach replenishment and tax issues. Let’s Meet The Candidates Maschal has been a council member since 2010, when the local government changed from a threemember board of commissioners to a five-member borough council. He served as council’s first mayor and

was also mayor when Superstorm Sandy hit in 2012. He moved to the borough in 1974, and his two children attended the Beach Haven School and Southern Regional School District. He managed an executive search firm and recruited high-level executives from 1968 to 2002, and also founded the National Association of Executive Recruiters. Maschal served on the board of the U.S. Optimist Dinghy Association and was the executive director from 2002 to 2008. In 2000 he received the U.S. Sailing John H. Gardner Jr. Service Award. He also created the U.S. Optimist national team, of which more than 20 sailors have participated in the Olympics. Taggart Davis is the current mayor of Beach Haven and has served on council for six years. Though she noted Saturday that there’s much she does on council that she’s proud of, she mentioned just a few of the major achievements she’s helped accomplish in town. She reminded the public that she was there during Sandy, working with the town and

state to help repair Beach Haven, which, she noted, suffered the most damage on LBI. She’s also helped get beach replenishment off the ground and finished, and has been instrumental with dune planting as well as ongoing efforts with the state’s Council on Affordable Housing. Skorge has been a local homeowner for about 20 years and a full-time resident with his wife for six years, during which time he said they’ve faced “Sandy, water meters, flooding and rising taxes.” “And that’s why I’m sitting up here today,” he told the public on Saturday. Skorge believes his collaborating and listening skills, which he acquired through his past experience as managing partner and creative director of Leach+Skorge, one of the largest healthcare advertising agencies in the world, will allow him to better develop people’s ideas to help further the town. “I believe I can pull the council together and work as a team player,” he said, noting that he is also very fiscally conscious, “like any other businessman would be.”

Allen, the son of former town Commissioner George Allen, has been a local resident since he was 15 years old. Going forward post-Sandy, he said, council needs to shift its focus back to making decisions “based on what we really need, not what we want.” He suggested slowing down spending and being more mindful about rising taxes. He is the only candidate still working in and raising his family in Beach Haven. “These two facts alone force me to make decisions based on the fact that I want to be able to afford to continue to live here and hopefully give my kids the chance to live here as well,” he stated. Lynch has more than 40 years of experience in business management at companies such as Automatic Data Processing and General Telephone. For the past 20 years he’s acted as vice president of BDP International, where he retired in 2012. He’s been a local taxpayer with his wife for 20 years and a full-time resident for six years. He’s

currently serving his sixth year as a member of the land use board and has worked as a beach badge checker the past three summers. “I vote here, I pay taxes here and I live here,” he said, noting decreasing “unnecessary spending” and taxes are of paramount importance to him. “I am a business professional, not a politician.” Lynch also ran for council in 2014. Current Councilman Robert Keeler’s term ends this year, though he has decided not to rerun. Council President Jim White and Councilman Don Kakstis will be up for re-election in 2018. Members are elected to council on an at-large basis in nonpartisan elections, with either two or three seats up for vote in even-numbered years as part of the November general election in a three-year cycle. During a reorganization meeting in January, one member will be selected as mayor and another as council president, each serving one-year terms in those positions. — Kelley Anne Essinger

Tuckerton Escapes Hurricane’s Wrath After Nor’easter Pounding

T

uckerton escaped damage during the Hurricane Matthew rain event, but homeowners in Tuckerton Beach sustained some damage during the previous four-day nor’easter (Sept. 22-25). Some boats and a few floating docks shook lose from their moorings and ended up in the streets. Some cars were inundated by rising tides and a couple of boats sank, reported Tuckerton Councilman John Schwartz at the Borough Council meeting Oct. 3. But the real bane of the roads in Tuckerton Beach was the sawn-off “butt” ends of pilings that some people use as decorative yard fences – until they began floating away.

“Those were all over the place, plus stuff that people did not put away or take to higher ground,” Schwartz told the audience at the meeting. “The tides rose between 6 inches and 3 feet on some roads, every single tide,” he reported. “And salt water is corrosive. I don’t know how many trucks and SUVs I saw powering through the flooded streets; they are going to know it the next time they get their tires changed.” Schwartz said the nor’easter was good practice for the Tuckerton Emergency Management team. In connection with that, Mayor Susan Marshall appointed Marilyn Kent as Office of Emergency Manage-

ment coordinator. Kent was second in command when the late Harold Spedding was in charge and was trained by him, noted Marshall. Spedding, who passed away this summer, left big shoes to fill, she said. Resident Joseph Kaufman asked when it was the public’s responsibility to collect eelgrass and debris from roads. Councilman Sam Colangelo said residents should call the public works department and workers would come out and clear the road. Colangelo said the borough also is proactive, calling contractors before storms hit so they can clean up their construction sites and secure portable toilets. Because there was no Nixle warn-

ing for the recent storm, some transient people did not secure their garbage cans, allowing a number of them to land in lagoons or Tuckerton Creek, added Borough Clerk/Administrator Jenny Gleghorn. In other news, Schwartz said the borough is taking corrective action after losing telephone communications “for days on end.” The municipality is changing from Comcast back to Verizon. The Verizon plan is a “V over IP” plan so the borough will never lose service. Councilman Keith Vreeland introduced an ordinance that better defines when a property owner is responsible for water and sewer repairs and when

the borough is. The council adopted an ordinance on second reading that will raise the minimum fee for a fire inspection to $75 – more in line with other inspection fees. Vreeland said he would like to discuss whether the town needs to change its recreational vehicle ordinance when the council has the next workshop meeting. “We may find it’s not an issue after all,” he said. Colangelo put forward a resolution to allow New Jersey Natural Gas to cut into the newly paved Marlin Road so a homeowner can connect utilities. “The house was a RREM (disaster Continued on Page 36

Councilwoman Doris Mathisen gave the construction report for September: There were 77 permits issued and 129 inspections made for a total of $19,510 in revenue. Code enforcement made 32 on-site inspections. “If you are ever in the borough complex early in the morning, you will see everyone is very busy. Nothing is slowing down,” she said. The council approved an amendment to a parking lot lease with the First United Methodist Church of Tuckerton, allowing the church to increase the time period it may use the municipal parking lot next to the church, to be from midnight to 1 p.m. on Sundays. Councilman Mike Santo said the Pride and Celebration Halloween Walk will be held this year at All Wars Memorial ball field on Bay Avenue from 1 to 3 p.m. Oct. 29. The council also approved fireworks for New Year’s Eve, a collaboration between the 4th of July Celebration Committee and the Tuckerton Seaport. Councilman Ron Peterson read the police report for September: There were 70 incidents, with 38 requiring a report, three of which were domestic violence related. There were 20 arrests, seven motor vehicle accidents, 160 motor vehicle stops and 112 summonses issued. There were 27 first aid calls, three fire calls and 12 alarm calls. The September revenue from municipal court was $8,726 for Tuckerton, $3,575 for Ocean County and $3,947 for New Jersey. Mar-

The Red Cross and thousands of campaign partners have helped save numerous lives and installed more than a quarter of a million smoke alarms in homes all across the country since the campaign launched in October of 2014. The Red Cross partners with fire departments and community groups across the country to install smoke alarms in communities with high numbers of fires and encourage everyone to practice their fire escape plans.” Kristee Lauro, Red Cross disaster program manager in Ocean County, added, “Installing smoke alarms cuts the risk of someone dying from a home fire in half, so we’re joining with groups from across our community to install shall said the total amount for this year so far is $69,580 from fines and adjudicated matters. The borough received a $2,500 New Jersey Drunk Driving Enforcement grant. Marshall also announced that the Tuckerton Police Department had won a WOBM radio contest for the best-looking police vehicles in Ocean County. “Thank you, police department, for all that you do,” she said. Marshall presented members of the Southern Ocean Chapter of Zonta International with a proclamation declaring October Domestic Violence Awareness Month. She noted that the organization, of which she is a member, was started in 1919 as a women’s “Rotary” because women were denied membership in that club. Amelia Earhart was one of the founding members. Marshall said the nonprofit consists of professional women dedicated to the empowerment of all women and advocating on their behalf. Zonta helps domestic violence victims by supporting Providence House in Ocean County, a shelter for battered women and their children. — Pat Johnson

smoke alarms,” said. “We also will be teaching people how to be safe from home fire.” Gass said the campaign reached out to agerestricted development such as the two mobile home communities because there could be residents with physical limitations, such as Debbie McCarthy of Brighton. “I can’t climb a ladder and I have problems with my arms,” she said. “I really appreciate how the Red Cross and our community are doing what they can to help us.” Christopher Pena, Red Cross volunteer, said homeowners often overlook the importance of having a clear escape route. He said home fire plans should include at least two ways to escape from every room of your home. “You may only have two minutes to escape when a fire occurs, but most people mistakenly believe they have more than twice as long to get out,” said Pena, who led a team canvassing homes in Pinewood. “This is an educational outreach program, and we left materials for the homeowner. Included were worksheets for individuals or families to prepare and organize your two-minute drill.” For homeowners who were not available, canvassers left information on how they could request a follow-up visit by logging on to redcross.org/New Jersey. “This was a very successful program,” said Michelle Woodruff, president of Manufactured Homeowners Association at Brighton. “I was pleased that the teams were well received and that the homeowners realized how important fire safety is. I think now we’re going to have a good working relationship with the Red Cross.” — Eric Englund ericenglund@thesandpaper.net

ABC Star Continued from Page 30 what J.J. is thinking and feeling at all times. Since J.J. uses a laser point and aide to communicate, I have to compensate physically by being extremely expressive with my facial expressions and body movements. It’s challenging, but I think the most difficult thing is restraining my hand and arm movements to match J.J.’s severity level.” One thing you can’t teach is chemistry; Fowler and Yarbrough definitely have it. As stated earlier, it can be difficult to understand Fowler when he is speaking (much of this interview was conducted by email) but it was as if you could see his smile through a communications tower phone line when he was asked about his coworkers. “YES, YEAH!” “I interact differently with each member of the cast,” said Fowler. “It’s really incredible, though. I really do have great chemistry with each of my fellow cast members. We all have become super close. We have a lot of fun together in between scenes, and we laugh a lot!” “Every cast member clicks,” Tammy Fowler agreed. “It is just like a family.” Both mom and son had a last thought they wanted to express. Micah, like his older sister Kelsey, who went on to star on Broadway in shows such as “Grey Gardens,” “Sunday in the Park With George,” “Mary Poppins” and “Bonnie and Clyde,” got his “show business” start with the Our Gang Players, Southern Ocean County’s longest-running community theater troupe which has launched many a theatrical career. “He was a munchkin in ‘The Wizard of Oz,’” said Tammy. “I’ll never forget him being pushed across the stage in a wagon. I love Our Gang. Say hello to Sherry (Schnepp, Our Gang’s cofounder and artistic director) for me.” As for Micah, he realizes he’s playing a groundbreaking character. “I hope that as people watch ‘Speechless,’ they get to know J.J.’s character is a very typical person, to the point that they don’t even see J.J.’s wheelchair and disability, but they just see his heart, humor and big personality. Just maybe ‘Speechless’ will even encourage viewers to look beyond the physical or other limitations of special-needs people in their own lives and discover their love, personality, and, yes, even their humor.” ❖ rickmellerup@thesandpaper.net

Shuttle Fare Continued from Page 29 benefits of the service in the forefront – “is how to fund this in two years after the grant is exhausted.” The options include securing additional grant money, asking for more financial assistance from the Island municipalities, or charging a nominal fee, which would likely exclude children under 16. “We’re exploring all these options,” said the commissioner, who is hoping, especially given the success of the program, to continue to provide free transportation. “It would just be irresponsible not to have this funding mechanism in place should it become necessary.” Lattanzi, who bought the first shuttle bus out of pocket, is excited by and proud of the program’s ever-increasing popularity, and believes “it’s proof of principle that we (all six LBI municipalities) can work together and get a project done.” “We believe the LBI Shuttle is going to be a springboard for further discussions and positive movement toward consolidation of other services.” Mayor Joseph Mancini said during last week’s candidates’ Q&A that the buses really “knocked down the door of shared services moving forward.” — Juliet Kaszas-Hoch

Kite Festival Continued from Page 33 organizer Laurie Temple explained. The night fly took place on Sunday night at Barnegat Lighthouse State Park this year, while beach buggy rides were down in Beach Haven; next year the night fly will go back to Holgate (where it was the first year), while beach buggy rides go to Barnegat Light. The idea is to spread the wealth, so to speak, along the Island, end to end. Nine eateries in Ship Bottom and Surf City served as “grab-n-go” locations. Bayview Park in Brant Beach and the Surf City Firehouse hosted the two-day High Fliers Art Market. “This has the potential to dwarf Chowderfest,” according to festival co-mastermind Maryann Gutchigian, in terms of numbers of attendees and profitability for local businesses. She and Lisa Willoughby had been the first to conceive of the idea in 2013 and bring it to Island entities for support. “Why wouldn’t you come?” she asked. “All you have to do is look up.” And everyone who comes to the Island for the weekend patronizes the restaurants and shops, so it’s an economic win even if the weather doesn’t cooperate. A kite enthusiast since 1980, Gutchigian looked to the longtime success of the festival in Ocean City, Md., where the Kite Loft store is located, as a model. In the hands of the right entrepreneur, a kite shop would make a killing on LBI, she noted. — Victoria Ford

Speeders Continued from Page 31 “Equipment violations could be anything from a tail light not working to an overdue inspection sticker,” he said. “There were no DWIs, but we did have two CDS (controlled dangerous substances) arrests and five summonses for disregarding a traffic signal.” Della Fave added, “While we expected that some summonses would be issued, the aim of this initiative is educational. The patrolling units would prefer spending their day assisting motorists to arrive safely at their destinations, not writing tickets.” — Eric Englund

The following was addressed to Long Beach Township Mayor Joseph Mancini and commission. Dear Mayor Mancini and Commission: The long-anticipated beach replenishment is winding down in Loveladies. Only a few tasks remain in the project area. On behalf of the board of trustees of the Loveladies Property Owners Association, I thank the Long Beach Township governing body for its positive efforts to move this important project forward. Seeking, securing and executing a federal construction project in any location is a long, challenging journey. The Long Beach Township governing body has tirelessly and vigorously monitored the project along many ups and downs. At each project step the commission has sought to ensure that the best interest of Long Beach Township residents – in fact, Long Beach Island residents – was represented. The project was conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with cooperation from the N.J. Department of Environmental Protection. These agencies exert strong influence over the character of the project. They design, makes rules, fund, issue contracts and, with congressional approval, execute the effort. Matters related to local wishes are sometimes lost in the years of complicated timetables. Due to the geographic character of Long Beach Township, with sections along the length of Long Beach Island, the commission followed the many phases and contracts of beach replenishment persistently, and continuously provided input into each and every component and phase. The township government and staff worked constantly to ensure the safety of its residents and keep beaches open and accessible. With daily changes, this was no easy task. Thank you, Mayor Mancini. Thank you, Commissioners Lattanzi and Bayard, for your efforts on behalf of the property owners of Loveladies. We believe that the inconvenience of a summer season beach construction project will be strongly outweighed by the protection offered by increased dune and beach size. We look forward to the completion of the new public dune crossovers, the installation of dune fencing and the dune grass planting that will close out the project. When the sand settles, with nature’s help, we will have the best protection our government has to offer for a long time. Lew Nagy, president Loveladies Property Owners Association

Experience Counts To the Editor: I was one of the many who packed the Long Beach Township municipal hall on Monday, Oct. 3. As they say about real estate: location, location, location. It should be said for this election: experience, experience, experience. The four people running who are challenging the incumbents seem like nice people, but they lack the skills and experience of those currently in office. Considering what the current administration has accomplished since Sandy alone, there is no question who is more qualified for the positions at hand. Hopefully, we won’t have another Sandy again, but if we do we must have the people in charge who have “been there, done that” before. We cannot turn our tax dollars over to people who will “look at things when we get

in there.” We need, want and deserve the experience, quality and character of the current commissioners. Kevin Bergin Haven Beach

Go With the Unknown To the Editor: I find it somewhat interesting that Mr. Kostopoulos has written to The SandPaper to express his concern about the President Obama birther issue (“Undermining Obama,” 10/5). He writes that Donald Trump’s continuing efforts to raise the issue after the birth certificate was produced led to the president’s inability to better the lives of the middle class with a better economic result. In his letter about the current president, Mr. Kostopoulos names Mr. Trump as a candidate for president but never mentions the candidate for president his party supports. He writes that Donald Trump “is either a liar or unable to deal with reality.” While Mr. Kostopoulos is not aware of Mr. Trump’s truthfulness, he must surely be aware of what all America knows, the candidate of his party is a liar. She has the ability to lie about her lies. His candidate, after being in the public eye for some 30 years, an individual President Obama heralds as the most qualified candidate ever, is in a close race with some might say the least qualified candidate. Some Americans will ignore the obvious and support their candidate. Others would rather vote for the unknown with a strong Congress. This is a time where it may be better to go with what you do not know rather than what you know. Most recently America voted for a president who promised “Hope and Change.” In seven years he has doubled the national debt that took over 100 years to reach half what it is now. The Middle East is in chaos; we pay ransom to Iran in cash that will find its way to make things worse. In some states there are more people on public funds than are working. The man who promised to bring America together has instead brought to those he provided hope a higher unemployment rate, reduced home ownership and family income lower today than eight years ago. He has ruled as a dictator with a pen, but thankfully the courts have reversed some of his ultimate plan for America. Bill Clinton confirmed what those who did not vote to support Obamacare knew: “It is a crazy plan, the cost is doubling and the deductibles are increasing.” Could it be that Mr. Kostopoulos has forgotten the name of the person who has said she will continue to follow the path President Obama has determined? Does he want more of the same “Hope and Change”? We may not know what a Trump presidency will bring, but we do know what four more years of a Democratic administration will bring.

18 Miles of a Wet and Windy Mess

Dixon Runs Away From Field In the Face of Brutal Weather By DAVID BIGGY esides contending with a brutal, 30-mph north wind and rain, Michael Dixon had something else to be concerned about at the start of the Long Beach Island 18 Mile Run. “I knew this would be tough because I’m recovering from a 50k trail race that I did a week ago,” said the 33-year-old from Fanwood after he crossed the finish line in 1:57:47.40 for the victory. “So, I’ve only a week to recover from that, and I just wanted to have a strong effort today. But this was rough.” Starting off among 404 runners amid light rain in Holgate, Dixon went out behind the pair of runners who eventually finished well behind him – Brendan Conway of Ridgefield Park and Devon Quaglietta of Monroe. But as they neared a fluid station just before the five-mile mark, Dixon popped around the pair and never looked back. By the seventh mile marker, Dixon had pushed his lead to almost a minute. At the 12-mile marker, Dixon was some six minutes ahead of Conway and Quaglietta, who still kept pace together going through the time pad at the 12th marker. But they weren’t catching Dixon, or even getting close. Heading into the 15th mile, Dixon was nearly eight minutes up on Conway, who had begun a move into second place by himself. Ultimately, Dixon finished 9:25 ahead of Conway, who finished second in 2:07:12.59. Queglietta was third in 2:08:23.05. “I figured those were giving chase the whole time,” Dixon said. “They’re local guys who are a bit speedier with 5k to 10k runs, so I expected them to hang. But who knows? They could have been using this as a training run as well. They obviously let me go, but I don’t turn around at all when I’m out in front.” Fortunately for Dixon, he had run the course multiple times before and knew what to expect. He last ran it in 2009 and won in 1:40:35, clocking a 5:35 pace, significantly quicker than when he finished third in 2008 in 1:44:13 and seventh in 2007 in 1:51:45. Still, with that driving north wind and soaking conditions, he wasn’t even attempting to drop a personal record. Instead, he ran a solid 6:32 pace, one he gradually increased between Miles 5 and 15. “The wind was getting worse and worse as we went north,” he said. “You try not to fight it. You just try to stay as narrow as you can be and pump your arms through it. But it was like a fight. Every now and then you get punched, and the wind was always in your face. “I felt really good through those 10 miles. Today, I used a lot more strength later on when the wind was taking a lot out of me. I was pretty depleted during those last couple of miles. At that point, you just take it mile by mile, block by block, and then when you see the end of the Island it’s a little easier despite how much you’re hurting.” Martin Rodrigues of Selbyville, Del., and Connell McCall of Phila-

AS WET AS IT GETS: (Clockwise from top right) The Long Beach Island 18 Mile Run gets off to a splish-splashy start in Holgate on Oct. 9; Lori Carlo of Barnegat prepares to start the race; Brandon Conway of Ridgefield Park does some puddle jumping as he approaches the finish line; Wendy Kerr of Hawthorne rounds the final turn and heads for the finish; Winner Michael Dixon of Fanwood signals his place to the sparse crowd at the finish line. delphia finished fourth and fifth, respectively, with times of 2:09:37.74 and 2:10:14.11. And not far behind McCall was the first female finisher of the race, Kristen Karwacki, who clocked in sixth at 2:10:19.05. “I ran this race once before and it was windy, but not anything like this,” said the 37-year-old from Macungie, Pa. “This is crazy out here today, and I definitely ran a slower pace than I normally would. But I had fun with it. I had a blast.” For the better part of 10 miles, Karwacki ran with a group of several men, all working together with lead positions for drafting purposes at varying times. But as the miles went on, each individual had gone off on

their own. “I ran the last few miles by myself, which was fine with me because I like running alone,” said Karwacki, who is training for the Harrisburg Marathon on Nov. 13. “The wind definitely slowed me down, but it’s the best I’ve felt after a race in a long time, so I think it helped. Today’s conditions definitely made me tougher.” The first local runner to cross the finish line was Barnegat’s Rob Goglia, who placed eighth overall in 2:14:17.59, while Haven Beach’s Jonathan Wert came in 10th with a time of 2:18:28.63 and Ship Bottom lifeguard and Little Egg Harbor resident Tom Smith finished in 14th at 2:21:16.47.

Two other locals cracked the top 50 – Brant Beach’s Tim Mernar placed 21st overall in 2:25:25.82 and Manahawkin’s Deidre Martin finished 41st in 2:31:45.28. Unfor tunately, the weather wreaked havoc on the number of runners who started and finished the race. About 565 had registered, and after 404 started the race only 340 ended up at Barnegat Lighthouse State Park. Among them was 25-year-old Caroline Mann of Princeton, who managed a 123rd-place finish in a sub-10-minute-pace 2:59:22.05, good enough to grab fourth among females runners in the 25-29 age group in her first attempt at the 18 Mile Run. “At the start, we all kind of looked

at each other and said, ‘We’re actually going to run this?’ and then we ran it,” said Mann, who was using the race to train for the Philadelphia Marathon on Nov. 20. “I’ve never run in conditions like this in my life. It’s definitely the windiest race I’ve run. When you’re running into that kind of wind, it’s not easy. But given the conditions, I wanted to be around three hours and I was fine with my time. Hopefully, I’ll come back next year and I’ll actually be able to run it in a much faster time.” This year’s last finisher, by the way ... 74-year-old K. Tucker Andersen of Warren, Conn., who crossed the line in 4:32:04.99. Y biggy@thesandpaper.net

AFTER DINNER: The ground is cleared for the next occupants, both business and residential on the site in Surf City. The owner of The Lobster Claw sold the property in January to an architectural firm from Clark.

Staff Says Thanks for the Memories As ‘The Claw’ Restaurant Departs By MARIA SCANDALE s “The Claw” in Surf City retreated to demolition, the new owner has approvals for two commercial spaces with apartments above, and two homes to the west. Architect Enzo Pavese of The Pavese Group in Clark is marketing the front of the new property the group owns at 3 North Long Beach Blvd., as potential restaurant or retail space in a contemporary building, the sign outside shows. Yet the friendships and memories made in The Claw will be forever, says the former staff. It is the end of an era for those who gathered on social media to toast the good times together at one of those rare places where work became “family.” Previous owner Tyrone (Ty) von Gorski passed away 18 months ago after running the Lobster Claw for nearly 20 years. It was one of his several local ventures in the seafood industry, including time as a fisherman out of Barnegat Light in the late 1970s. “My kids loved their dad to the moon and back. They honored his memory by keeping The Claw going for two more seasons after his passing,” said his widow, Sharon von Gorski, the school nurse at the LBI Grade School for the past 28 years. She sold the restaurant in January. She said she will miss that involvement in the community. “The memories will always be in our hearts even though the building is gone.” The restaurant’s name was shortened from The Lobster Claw after the original sign was lost in Superstorm Sandy, which pulled everybody together for reconstruction. When they ordered the new sign, they just unofficially made it “The Claw” because that’s what they all had called it, said employee Sandi Smith-Lusk. The “lobster twin” – two whole lobsters with all the trimmings – was

Starstruck at Times, ‘Family’ All the Time a favorite dish at the restaurant. Not all recent residents may have realized the list of other popular establishments run by Ty von Gorski. “We originally started in the seafood business in 1978 when my husband had a fishing boat built in New Hampshire,” said Sharon. “They went tilefishing back then out of Barnegat Light. He already owned Sportsman’s Marina when we married. We bought George’s Dock from my father-inlaw in Beach Haven, and opened the original Beach Haven Fishery. “We bought the Lobster Claw property from Bill Willem in 1995. It was formerly Bill’s Seafood Restaurant.” Many guests became friends and regulars, and a few surprise celebrities also came to dinner, as hostess Heather Pascarelli recalls. “We had so many amazing people in and out of that little restaurant. Lauren Hutton was filming a commercial on LBI. Her crew placed a huge take-out order, and she came to pick it up. I was at the counter and realized who she was, and I’m trying to be just normal, and not gush or anything. And Ty comes out of the kitchen and says, in his huge, booming voice, ‘You look just like – no, you couldn’t be; you’re much too young to be her.’” Pascarelli continued, “And I’m elbowing him – which was about as effective as a gnat on a bear – and Sharon and I are standing now on either side of him; I’m whispering, ‘It is her!’ And Sharon is smiling at her and saying, ‘Just ignore him.’ And she smiled ... and Ty starts again going on about how much prettier she is in person and how he can’t believe it’s really her. And she’s completely charmed. And she orders from us for the next four nights.” Ray Romano patronized The Claw a few years ago and evoked another

variety of buzz. “It’s towards the end of the night, I’m at the door, looking at our numbers,” recalled Pascarelli. “Someone comes in and says, ‘Can you take a party of 13?’ and without looking up I chuckle and say, ‘You sound just like Ray ...’ and I realize I’m looking at him. “So, I change gears, say, ‘Absolutely! Can you give me just a minute to put a table together?’ And I run to the kitchen to tell them, realize that one of the takeout girls is completely frozen in place – huge fan,” Pascarelli said, contrasting that the best server, AJ, did his part in everything going perfectly, and then after they left, asked, “Who was that?” More than one engagement party at The Claw was for a couple who had their first date there. Pascarelli once carried a diamond ring around in her pocket all day, after the hopeful fiancé dropped it off. They hid it in a loaf of bread, and everybody in the restaurant knew what was going on and held their breath when the girl didn’t want any bread at first. “It was a family restaurant in every sense of the word,” said Pascarelli. “If you worked there, you were a part of the family. There were times when we were shorthanded, and we would call someone who hadn’t worked there in years, and they would dust off their Claw shirt, grab an apron and jump in! You just did. Because Ty and Sharon and the rest of the family would do anything for you.” The Claw was von Gorski’s “baby,” said Sharon, who worked there in the summers in what she described as a “mom and pop” business that their children were involved in. Daughter Jessica worked there for 20 years, daughter Carrie for many years, and older children Christian and Rebecca helped in aspects such as advertising, design and construction, especially after Superstorm Sandy.

he Pinelands Regional High School football team is on a winning streak after beating Donovan Catholic, 22-20 on Friday evening. True, it is only a two-game streak. But that is more games than the Wildcats have won in a row since at least 2010. Pinelands opened the scoring on Friday when Jason Jeannotte kicked a 30-yard field goal in the first quarter. In the same quarter Donovan Catholic went ahead 7-3 when Matt Baltus broke loose for a 33-yard touchdown run and Sal DiSalvo

SRHS Grid Guys Score Late TD To Upend Jags

B

igger things may be coming for the Southern Regional football team, but the Rams’ Oct. 7 win on the road may have been the biggest thing that’s happened during the past few seasons. Junior Joe Miele scored on a 5-yard touchdown run with 49 seconds left to cap a 19-point fourth quarter, as the Rams upended Shore Conference Class A South rival Jackson Memorial, 25-21, for their second straight victory after an 0-3 start to the season. The Jaguars led 14-6 heading into the final 12 minutes, but a 5-yard TD run by Matt Barnett cut the deficit to 14-12. On Southern’s next possession, quarterback Sam Cammarata, who completed 9 passes for 120 yards, hit Deric Vincent on a 52-yard scoring strike to give the Rams its first lead, 18-14. After Jackson Memorial regained the lead when Dan Barker fired a 24-yard TD pass to Mike Gawlik, who had scored on runs of 12 and 49 yards during the first half, the Rams came right back with their last scoring drive. Chris Citarella sealed the victory when he snagged an interception with 30 seconds to go. For the game, Vincent had two receptions for 61 yards, while Jackson Donahower caught three passes for 34 yards. The trio of Miele, Barnett and John Dolphin combined for 132 yards on the ground. Miele and Citarella also led the defense with seven tackles, while Zack Hem added six tackles. The victory not only was a huge confidence booster for the Rams, but coming off a bye week it also provided a boost in the NJSIAA South Jersey Group V power point standings. Despite a 2-3 record, the Rams are sixth with 37 points, one ahead of Cherokee (2-2) and Trenton (2-4) and two ahead of Eastern Regional (2-3). The qualifying cutoff is Nov. 5, and power points are calculated based on the team’s first eight games. The Rams’ next three contests are against Brick on Oct. 14, Brick Memorial on Oct. 21 and Lacey on Oct. 28. —D.B.

added the extra point. But it would be a long time before the Griffins would score again. Evan Burtton put Pinelands ahead again in the second quarter when he ran five yards for a TD. Pinelands went for a two-point conversion and failed, making the score 9-7 at halftime. In the third quarter Burtton struck again, this time on a 35-yard TD run. Jeannotte added the extra point. In the fourth Kyle Hehre plunged for a one-yard touchdown but once again the conversion was unsuccessful. Still, Pinelands was up 22-7. But Baltus scored his second touchdown of the evening and DiSalvo kicked his second extra point to narrow the Wildcat lead to 22-14. Then Donovan Catholic QB Ryan Clark turned a 15-yard keeper into a TD. Remember those two Pinelands missed two-point conversions? They came back to threaten the Wildcats because they had left the Griffins trailing by just two points. The Pinelands defense, however, was up to the task when DC attempted its own two-point conversion and salted away the win. Burtton led all runners with 142 rushing yards on 23 touches. But Donovan Catholic, which fell to 0-5 for the season, actually ran for more yards than Pinelands, gaining 233 on the ground with Clark (13 carries for 127 yards) and Baltus (18 carries for 91 yards) leading the way while Burtton, Hehre, Brennan Richardson and QB Garrett Brown accounted for 176 yards for the Wildcats. Pinelands, though, won the air game, a rather stunning development for a team that typically lives or dies with the run. Brown had four completions on six attempts for 90 yards while DC’s Clark had five completions on 11 attempts for just 38 yards. Chris Lewis was Brown’s favorite receiver, racking up 82 yards on three catches; Tommy Madge caught one pass for eight yards. So, Pinelands has two wins in a row. And here’s the kicker – the Wildcats have a legitimate chance to stretch that win streak to four. Their next opponent will be Manchester at 7 p.m. on Friday Oct. 21. The two teams have identical 2-3 records. But the Wildcats beat the Hawks the past two years, 33-6 in 2014 and 28-21 in 2015. Manchester will have the home field advantage, but Pinelands will have the benefit of a bye week, giving its players a chance to heal any dings they may have and coach Brian Wilkinson two weeks to come up with a winning game plan. The following week the ’Cats will visit Jackson Liberty, a team that hasn’t won a game in 2016. A four-game win streak and a 4-3 record for Pinelands? That was unimaginable a few years ago but a serious possibility now. — Rick Mellerup rickmellerup@thesandpaper.net

Southern, Pinelands Squads Reach Semifinals

S

Wildcats had visited the Lions back on Sept. 23 and come home fairly mauled, losing 11-25, 15-25. This time, though, Pinelands hung tough in the first set, losing by a much closer 24-26 margin. Jackson Liberty took the second set more convincingly, 25-14. The Lions went on to beat Kingsway in the tourney’s title match in three sets. The match was a nail biter – Jackson Liberty finally put it away with a 27-25 win in the third. Southern coach Eric Maxwell was pleased with his tournament. “It turned out to be a pretty strong event,” he said. He did, however, find a wee bit of fault with his team. “Our main issue continues to be about consistency and being able to finish,” he explained. “We got off to a great start against Kingsway, 10-3, but couldn’t maintain. In our pool games against Pinelands we had opportunities to win both games. Up 23-20 in the first game, but couldn’t close. After being down 14-3 in game two, we came all the way back to tie it at 20-20, only to lose 28-26.” Maxwell, however, is generally happy with Ryan Morrill his young squad’s progress.

s Woodrow Wilson prepared to launch his 1916 reelection campaign from the Shadow Lawn estate on the Jersey Shore, he planned to ask the American public to trust him as he ran on the campaign promise “he kept us out of war.” But there was one group who had supported him four years earlier and now felt his pledges were worthless. Although he had been the governor of New Jersey, Wilson was a Southern Democrat born in Virginia, and this fact made many African-Americans nervous. One of the most prominent was William Trotter, the editor and publisher of the Boston Guardian, who later recalled, “Our delegation went to Sea Girt in 1912 to inspect the candidate of the Democratic party. We went with fear and misgiving, because the candidate was of southern birth, but our reception was cordial. A crowd of Non-Afro-Americans were left outside, while we were ushered in and shown to seats. The candidate held my hand in his while he told me what he would do.” And what had Wilson said to Trotter? “That if elected he intended to be a President of the whole nation – to know no white or black, no North, South, East or West.” Wilson won the presidency in 1912 in a three-way race with a minority of the votes. In December, W. E. B. Du Bois, one of the founders of the NAACP wrote an open letter in that organization’s paper, The Crisis. “It is a source of deep gratification to The Crisis that William H. Taft and Theodore Roosevelt have been defeated in their candidacy for the presidency of this nation. … We are gratified that at least 100,000 black votes went to swell the 6,000,000 that called Woodrow Wilson to the presidency. We do not as Negroes conceal or attempt to conceal the risk involved in this action. … (O)ver his own signature he has expressed: “1. His ‘earnest wish to see justice done them (the colored people) in every matter; and not mere grudging justice, but justice executed with liberality and cordial good.’ “2. Their right ‘to be encouraged in every possible and proper way.’ “3. I want to assure them that should I become President of the United States they may count upon me for absolute fair dealing, for everything by which I could assist in advancing the interests of their race in the United States.” Shortly after Wilson’s inauguration in March 1913, at a cabinet meeting, he approved of a new federal program that would segregate government offices by race.

Birmingham News explained. “During the early days of this administration, Mrs. Wilson was reported to have observed with her own eyes some of the hardships of white women in having to work beside Negro men. Naturally, with her refined breeding (and) Southern rearing, she perceived the dangers of that situation. It had grown more and more aggravated during various Republican administrations, when that Party’s leadership was so abject in its submission to Negro dictation arising out of political conditions in the East and West.” That same month Du Bois reminded Wilson, “We want to be treated as men. We want to vote. We want our children educated. We want lynching stopped. We want no longer to be herded as cattle on street cars and railroads. We want the right to earn a living, to own our own property and to spend our income unhindered and uncursed … in the name ... of that common country for which your fathers and ours have bled and toiled, be not untrue, President Wilson, to the highest ideals of American Democracy.” When the NAACP protested Wilson’s actions, he replied in a letter on July 23 saying, “It is true that the segregation of the colored employees in the several departments was begun upon the initiative and at the suggestion of several of the heads of departments, but as much in the interest of the negroes as for any other reason, with the approval of some of the most influential negroes I know, and with the idea that the friction, or rather the discontent and uneasiness, which had prevailed in many of the departments would thereby be removed. It is as far as possible from being a movement against the negroes. I sincerely believe it to be in their interest. And what distresses me about your letter is to find that you look at it in so different a light. “I am sorry that those who interest themselves most in the welfare of the negroes should misjudge this action on the part of the departments, for they are seriously misjudging it. My own feeling is, by putting certain bureaus and sections of the service in the charge of negroes we are rendering them more safe in their possession of office and less likely to be discriminated against.” A week later Wilson wrote to author and supporter Thomas Dixon. “I do not think you know what is going on down here. We are handling the force of colored people who are now in the departments in just the way in which they ought to be handled. We are trying – and by degrees succeeding – a plan of concentration which will put them together and will not in any one bureau mix the two races.” When the NAACP asked for a commission to investigate the new segregation policy in the federal government, he replied on Aug. 21, “It would be hard to make any one understand the delicacy and difficulty of the situation I find existing here with regard to the colored people. You know my own disposition in the matter, I am sure, but I find myself absolutely blocked by the sentiment of Senators; not alone Senators from the South, by any means, but Senators from various parts of the country. I want to handle the matter with the greatest possible patience and tact, and am not without hope that I may succeed in certain directions. But just because the situation is extremely delicate and because I know the feeling of irritation that comes with every effort at systematic inquiry into conditions – because of the feeling that there is some sort of indictment involved in the very inquiry itself …” On Sept. 8, Wilson wrote to H.A. Bridgeman, the editor of the Congregationalist. “I would say that I do approve of the segregation that is being attempted in several of the departments. I have not always approved of the way in which the thing was done and have tried to change that in some instances for the better, but I think if you were here on the ground you would see, as I seem to see, that it is distinctly to the advantage of the colored people themselves that they should be organized, so far as Continued on Page 62

The Waves Set the Date

Clam Jam’s Tenth: Surf Community Brought Together F By JON COEN or 10 years now, local apparel company Jetty, has held its Clam Jam each fall. At its root, it’s a surf contest. But it’s also a celebration of Island surfing and the local community at large. One of the aspects of the contest that keeps it a beloved event is the fact that it’s run “on call,” meaning the date of the Clam Jam is determined by the waves. Once the window period opens the first weekend after Chowderfest, it can be run any Saturday or Sunday with good swell and conditions. Surfers and spectators get excited year after year because of the quality waves. Alternatively, wives, girlfriends, and families have a running joke about not being able to make plans through the whole month of October, at the possibility that the Clam Jam might run. And while the actual surfing and families coming together are always at the forefront, often the waves are the highlight – a wrapping south swell, a peaky combo, Hurricane Gonzalo or a raging nor’easter. But in 2016, the waves would not likely be the story. That was expected when the call was made at midday on Friday to hold the event on Saturday. There were certainly waves on the way – a mix of groundswell from Hurricane Matthew and Hurricane Nicole. But the wind was forecasted to be light onshore. The groundswell from the storms had the potential to be very closed out, and the rain could render the day a miserable mess. And then, in the midst of round two, smack in the middle of the event, with a full tide, and waves pouring through, the wind completely died. It

wasn’t the epic waves of years past, but considering the forecast, the waves got pretty good. Not to mention it was very consistent all day. Rain did fall on the event, but it held off until the afternoon and never rained terribly hard. The event began at 8 a.m., with very impressive surfing from great surfers whose talents are little known outside the LBI area, such as Kyle Alvare, Josh Law, Brian Aji, Tanner Panetta, Pete Machotka, Tim Raimo, Billy Webster, Ryan Kelly and Connor Willem. It’s a day for the unsung heroes to step up and show their stuff. In following the traditions of the Clam Jam, teams were chosen at random from two age brackets, bringing the generations together. There were some classic pairings, like Connor Willem and Ron Ferrara, good friends who surf together each swell. Then there were Will Sweeney and George Jacobs, who grew up in the same Harvey Cedars neighborhood, almost 20 years apart. There was also varied equipment, like Bob Selfridge, who has surfed Cedars since the ’70s, riding a longboard, Todd Naisby riding a 5’2 board he shaped himself, and Brett Oliverio, who rode a Beater board. Despite the weather, the beach filled up. Equity Prime Mortgage, whose loan officers surf the event, gave out branded wax and wax combs. Mud City Crab House and the Old Causeway Steak and Oyster House offered free clams on the half and New England clam chowder. Kids dug in the sand, and dogs raced around the waterline. The Clam Jam has become an important gathering after the busy season.

TEAM FORMAT IS LUCK OF THE DRAW: (Top) Billy Webster of Barnegat Light rides a longboard into the late rounds after making the finals in 2015. The contest is also a celebration of Island surfing and the local community. Teams are chosen at random from two age brackets. The call was made at midday Friday to hold the event on Saturday. “I think after 10 years, it’s really obvious how we’ve brought the community together,” said Jetty Operating Partner/CEO Jeremy DeFilippis. “There are so many more friendships. The storylines are great, too. We’ve had brothers surf on the same team and win the event, fathers and sons in the water at the same time, and if you add it up in the last decade, over 500 randomly paired teams that have

“I didn’t even know the contest was on. My wife met me at the beach with my boards.” created that much more stoke when you’re paddling out one of those other 364 days of the year. The smiles and high fives are endless. And the amount of people who say it’s their favorite day of the year lets us know that we are doing what we set out to do.” In the first semifinal, longtime Harvey Cedars surfer/VP of Whitesell Construction Jamie Whitesell and Mike Messler, who surfs Manasquan and LBI and recently took the reins at the Dockside Diner in Spray

Beach, ousted a very tough team of underground Cedars charger Peter George and Ship Bottom Shellfish’s Dane Nugent. Whitesell, at age 46, put on an absolute display of speed and power all day, underlining his point with a vicious backside turn in the semis. In the second semifinal, the area’s most decorated surfer, longtime pro Randy Townsend, who surfs for Jetty and heads up the Harvey Cedars Beach Patrol, and Nick Rossi, commercial scalloper on the Kathy Ann out of Barnegat Light, faced Willem and Ferrara. Rossi has surfed nine of 10 Clam Jams and won with John Bonner back in 2010. He had just gotten back from an 11-day fishing trip at daybreak on Saturday morning. “I didn’t even know the contest was on. My wife met me at the beach with my boards,” said Rossi from the docks at Viking Village, offloading the catch on Sunday morning. He surfed extremely well throughout the day. He and Townsend easily thwarted their early-round competitors and then had an exciting, close semifinal with Willem and Ferrara. In the final, Rossi’s consistency and Townsend’s countless vertical hacks proved tops. They won 15-11.5 and would raise the Clam Jam trophy,

carved by local surfer Joel Dramis a decade ago. This was Townsend’s third Clam Jam victory, with three different partners. “Randy is the man,” Rossi said. “He’s been pushing me to surf better since the first day I met him, when I was 12 years old. He’s taken me all over the world on surf trips and got me sponsored when I was a kid. We did a few boat trips to Indonesia. He’s driven me all over the East Coat, chasing contests and still pushes me to surf more. When the waves are pumping and it’s freezing out, and I’m toasted from surfing all day, he always fires me up to put another suit on and get back out there to surf until dark.” Rossi also noted what Jetty has done, coming from such humble beginnings. “The Clam Jam is the sickest event. It’s a cool team format because it’s the luck of the draw. And Jetty itself is still growing after all these years. Those guys didn’t start out with a ton of investment money like other brands, and look where they are today.” And now the Clam Jam has been run in the first weekend of the waiting period. So local families had a great day together, and can now resume a normal life into the fall. Y joncoen@thesandpaper.net

ell, it’s on. After a blown-out start, the weather, waves and water have all assumed a gorgeous autumnal state of mind, though a 69-degree water temp over the weekend was a bit off the normalcy mark. Only a few years back, I took a 52-degree water temperature reading on the same date. If you haven’t signed up for the LBI Surf Fishing Classic, time has come today. You don’t have to worry about getting your hairdo disheveled. Your entry into the Classic not only opens the door to hooking major prizes ,but helps keep a long-lived tradition alive. You are needed. BUGGY BANTER: I haven’t written much on driving the beaches due to a certain sand uncertainty in the wake of nor’easters and weeks of side-ass winds. Well, the beachfront is building up and leveling off with the current calm-down. In fact, beaches of Ship Bottom are so dang wide you can land a 757 there. That’s not to suggest you should run out and try it just on my say-so. I can see it now: Reporters: “Mr. Travolta, what would possess you to land your 757 on the beach in Ship Bottom, New Jersey?” And me, off to the side, thinking, “Oh, crap. Here we go,” as I snake out of the gathered crowd and hightail it back to my truck. Anyway, most of our reborn beaches are begging to once again feel the tromping of fall surfcasters. Hey, beaches can feel nostalgic, too. SNIFFING SASQUATCH: I’ve never been overly sold on the existence Bigfoots, or Bigfeet, or whatever. Still, a finagling side of me would love to think that, one day, I’ll be merrily outbacking and come across a colossal, hirsute, humanoid-like creature – whom I magically talk into owning its own palatial alpine manor. All it needs to do is offer a few comely poses for me to photograph. If it happens to be a female Bigfoot, the photo possibilities are enormous. “Oh, that’s it, sweetheart … Love the lens. Now, more profile … You’re the queen of the forest! Throw that chest out; think real cold winds.” This is one of my typical non sequitur leadins to an odd new way to find Sasquatch, utilizing the age-hardened concept of: Does a bear you-know-what in the woods? Off to Asia we go, but not into the Sasquatchinfested Himalayas; instead, we’re heading to Beijing, where we hook up with the Ministry of

Public Security of the Central People's Government … whether we want to or not. In this case, we actually embrace the Chinese supercops. The Ministry of Public Security has agreed to be part of a world-class, ground-sniffing experiment to seek out some of the world’s rarest … scat. Yes, we’ll be getting down with droppings. I’ll explain. Per an article in nature.com titled “… Scatdetection dogs: unleashing a powerful new tool for international mammalian conservation biology,” olfactory-gifted canines are being been used to sniff out “fecal samples” from creatures so rare only scat can confirm their existence. The dogs arrive in China, flying first-class. According to the article, researchers used these bloodhoundish dogs to locate scat left behind by “three species of unhabituated, freeranging primates” – along with that left behind by some guy named Wung-ho, who was taking a really long hike and … Well, there goes my free subscription to Nature magazine. The dogs in this f irst-ever scat search knocked it out of the park, batting a sizzling .920. The article stated, “(The) detection dog team had a 92% accuracy rate, significantly outperforming our human-only team.” I’m likely the only one needing to stop in my tracks and question “outperforming our humanonly team.” I’m overcome by this insta-image of researchers, down on all four, noses to the ground … and the dogs lying off to the side, snickering their asses off. But let’s cycle back to Big Foots, ts’emekwes, Sasquatch, skoocooms, Gigantopithecus, skunk ape … you name it. Once the scat-sniffing is done in Asia – and before the dogs go France to protest dogs losing jobs to truffle pigs – they’ll have some free time to hit the U.S. Northwest. About one-third of all Bigfoot sightings are from that corner of America – a very lonely area, I might add. In fact, I can’t help but notice an abiding pattern of Bigfoot sightings aligning with lonely and mountain-mannish places. Can you image the potential sales of my “Scalding Sasquatch Babe” calendar? Hey, there’s no way they can know she’s pushing 50 … and has a dozen Bigfeet grandchildren. As it now stands, I’ve passed word about scat-sniffing dogs onto the Animal Planet’s “Finding Bigfoot” folks. All I asked for coming up with info is I get to go along for the search … as a photographer. Once there, I’ll nonchalantly mention the scientific necessity of first running a “human-only team” scat sniff-about. Can you imagine a Bigfoot peeking around a tree and seeing the show’s cast and crew down on all fours, noses to the ground? That’ll be just the chance I need to run it down – since it will be laughing so hard it’ll keep falling over sideways. DON’T BE A BOZO: There’s no clowning around in Jersey. If you’re a parent of costumed candy-seeking kids or an adult aficionado of Halloween, you might know of what I speak: an uprising of overly aggressive clown masks. Personally, I think all clowns should have been banned with the discontinuation of the Bozo the Clown Show – and long before Stephen King wrapped his crazed mind around “It.” Oh, believe me, the theatrical “It” clown is behind a slew of Halloweenish masks so frickin’ spooky that people put them on, look in the mirror and pass clean out from fright. But the clown fright we have developing this year is unprecedented. It is the multi-locale rising of the “killer clown,” the “evil clown” and, perhaps ugliest of all, “Pogo the Clown” – the party name used by mass-murderer John Wayne Gacy, later known as the Killer Clown. CNN has dubbed it a full-blown clown epidemic, highlighted by hideously masked pranksters jumping out of bushes at horrified Continued on Page 52

Fish Story

Contest BeneďŹ ts David’s Dream and Believe Cancer Foundation

Continued from Page 50 passersby and social media threats that killer clowns will be awaiting students arriving at school. Here’s a Wiki-ďŹ ed version of the scare essence behind the freaked-out phenomenon. “2016 clown sightings, also referred to in various regions by names such as ‘clown epidemic,’ ‘panic,’ ‘uprising,’ ‘craze,’ ‘invasion’ and the like, are a series of evil clown sightings ‌ ďŹ rst reported in South Carolina, by early October they had been reported in over half of US states, eight out of ten Canadian provinces, and six other countries.â€? Of course, if it’s something weird, it will quickly ďŹ nd some sort of place hereabouts. Last week, a 14-year-old South Toms River female was charged with Creating a False Public Alarm after telling her mother she was chased from a school bus stop by a knife-wielding, evil clown. After every police force in the county was alerted to the potentiality of a crazed killer clown in the system, the girl came to her senses and admitted to detectives the whole thing was her overactive imagination – albeit one wearing an evil clown mask. No sooner had one clown been debunked than Toms River PD was alerted to a Twitter posting from “Killerclownfromnj.â€? The post presented an “unspeciďŹ ed threatâ€? to Intermediate School East, per police. It read, “Some people wanted Toms River Intermediate East Middle School; I will be there at 8:37 sharp on Thursday, October 6th 2016!!â€? While that is pretty dang unspeciďŹ ed, anything spoken by a “Killerclownfromnjâ€? should lead to the law jumping up and taking notice. That “killerclownâ€? sorta-threat was taken seriously enough to hyper-activate Toms River detectives, and the Ocean County Prosecutor’s OfďŹ ce High Tech Crime Unit, while leading the region’s superintendent of schools, David Healy, to beef up security in all Toms River schools. Once again, it turned out to be a high-proďŹ le clowning around, perpetuated by a 12-year-old female student of the school system – who doesn’t even own a clown mask, I’m betting. She was also charged with Creating a False Public Alarm. Lest you think those charges are mere snivelers for the likes of underage kids, it’s the bombshell parent-targeting punishment that can be a horror. Per the prosecutor’s ofďŹ ce, “The parents will be required to make restitution for the police services expended while responding to the False Public Alarm.â€? I don’t know if you’ve recently checked what cops, especially top cops, get paid. Your kids go Bozo and you’ll be ďŹ nding that out the hard way. As to wearing clown masks for Halloween, it’s total instant urban legend nonsense that Congress has voted to ban clown masks and levy ďŹ nes of $50,000 on anyone caught wearing them, nationwide. While D.C. is hurting for revenue, I just can’t

Sea Shell Hosts 20th Annual Striped Bass Derby

A

nglers take note: The Sea Shell Resort and Beach Club’s 20th annual Striped Bass Derby is scheduled for the weekend of Oct. 28-30, rain or shine. Over two decades, this all-tackle, all-boat ďŹ shing tournament has raised more than $300,000 to beneďŹ t local organizations. David’s Dream and Believe Cancer Foundation – a nonproďŹ t providing ďŹ nancial assistance, services and hope to families affected by a cancer diagnosis – will be the event’s charitable recipient for the 2016 contest. David’s Dream and Believe “was established by David Caldarella, founder and Stage IV cancer survivor, in 2010,â€? explained Derby Coordinator Tom Hughes. “The foundation has committed all of its resources to the community in the ďŹ ght against cancer, and is unique in its dedication to assisting families through ďŹ nancial assistance for medical bills, groceries, transportation, housing costs and utilities, as well as emotional support from founder David Caldarella himself. “Since 2010, DDBCF has distributed in excess of $450,000 to over 600 local families through community support, annual events,

donations and planned giving, (and) all have been extremely important in their mission as a ‘Beacon of Hope.’â€? As Hughes added, the foundation has fostered relationships “with the youth community through Generation Dream and the Service Learning Program at Stockton University.â€? Derby ďŹ shing begins at 9 p.m. Oct. 28 and continues until ďŹ nal weigh-in, which will be held from 10 a.m. till noon at the Sea Shell Tiki Bar the following Sunday, Oct. 30. All ďŹ sh must be caught with rod and reel on the captain’s boat, and only one ďŹ sh per boat is eligible for a cash prize. Fishing is limited to inshore water within 3 miles of the beach. (The north boundary is Seaside Dise Pier, GPS #39.56.500; the south boundary is the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City; and the western boundary is the Garden State Parkway.) Registration fee is $150 per boat for two anglers, plus $50 for additional anglers. All prizes go to the boat captain. The fee includes one commemorative T-shirt per angler, as well as entry to the welcome party, from 7 to 8 p.m. Friday at the Shell, followed by an 8 p.m. captain’s meeting, with entertainment

by Capt. Eric & The Shipwrecks; a 6-to-8 p.m. cocktail party on Saturday, also with music from Capt. Eric & The Shipwrecks; and the Sunday ďŹ sh fry, from 10 a.m. to noon, featuring entertainment by The Pickles. Family and friends can attend the ďŹ sh fry for $15. An awards ceremony will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday. Cash prizes will be distributed for top 15 heaviest ďŹ sh, in addition to special prizes for a junior angler and a female angler, and special drawings for donated gifts from various area businesses. As the derby committee – Rich Conaway, Rich Ferguson, Jim Kelly, Harvey Kelsall, Bob Smith, David Cowles and Hughes – pointed out last year, â€?Our goals for this event are to provide yet another reason for people to frequent our island during the fall season, to provide a venue for boat ďŹ shermen, and most importantly, to provide funds for worthwhile local nonproďŹ t organizations and noteworthy community projects.â€?

envision Jamey running home, all “Mommy, these men in a big black car stopped and told me to take off my clown mask. Then, they poured my candy down the sewer and gave me this paper to give you.â€? Of course, should Trump get into ofďŹ ce ... TAILWINDED BUTTERFLIES: The recent stint of torrential north winds provided traveling music for population-troubled monarch butteries. Autumn in and autumn out, these majestic utterers get blown off their southerly migration course by the onset of our fall west winds. They end up blown way out over the ocean, beating their wayward wings westward to the cadence “Oh, crap. Oh, crap ‌â€? This year, they’ve been able to harvest the north wind, getting blown straight south – so fast they can’t even slow down enough to land and say “Heyâ€? to moth friends in the Carolinas. This migratory success is music to the ears of monarch-loving folks who have gone the full metamorphosis Monty, raising monarchs from eggs to caterpillars to pupae to golden-winged wonders. Before release into the thermals, many home-bred monarchs get tiny license plates placed on their wings. Here’s hoping those tagged butteries carry greetings from N.J. to awaiting scientists at overwintering monarch locales. WINDS PREVENT WEEPAGE: An allergy-suffering Islander also sang high praises to the heavens, thanking the north winds for holding down the annual autumn onslaught of

mainland-based pollen, loosed skyward from ragweed, small and great. The common ragweed is the small one, a couple feet tall tops. Nonetheless, it’s a pollenspitting baddy on its own. However, it’s the great ragweed, often pushing 5 feet in height, that has an eye-high pollen launch-point. Much of the ragging about ragweed in our area should be aimed at the great variety. Be it small or sunowerish in size, a single ragweed plant produces a billion-plus grains of pollen per season – and even more during hard-partying years. In N.J., ragweed is the cause of over 50 percent of all allergic rhinitis cases from pollen. But what about those famed, thought-allergenic fall boomers like goldenrod and Queen Ann’s lace? Due to its fall brightness, the dropdead gorgeous goldenrod is perpetually blamed for fall “hay fever.â€? Total bunk. Even allergists, who seem to love blaming just about everything for their patients’ allergies, grudgingly admit goldenrod can’t even make eyes water – unless a foot-long stalk is accidently slapped across a kid’s face. Hey, we were kids playing swords with entire goldenrod plants. Mom’s ďŹ rst response: “I told you someone could lose an eye!â€? RUNDOWN: Small bluefish are everywhere, but the slammers are no-shows. One way to tell there are no slammers hereabouts is the ongoing showing of the above-mentioned tiny blues. The cannibalistic nature of suddenly arriving slammers will drive off the small blues

almost overnight. While I, like most folks, forgo keeping big-ass blues as foodstuff, I’ve cleaned many a tweener blue (say, 5-pounder) and have found snapper blues inside, conďŹ rming the cannibalism. But it might not be full-blown eating of one’s brethren. Those stomached little blues were almost always mixed in with consumed mullet. I’m betting the snappers were more like collateral damage, as mid-sized blues went blindly ballistic after balled-up mullet. The snappers were near the mullet because mullet migrations run the same route with spearing and rainďŹ sh, the target of snappers. Bassing is surely just beginning. I’ll say this until it actually happens ‌ soon. Weird incident: I was blind-throwing castnet and came up with a net-load of sailor’s choice, aka pinďŹ sh. I know these little beauties well, from time spent collecting bait for shops in Florida, where sailor’s choice are beloved for live-lining. On rare occasions in the past, I’ve netted one or two pinďŹ sh in Barnegat Bay, fall-time. But this throw had at least a couple dozen within, all of them sunďŹ sh-sized, likely ready to migrate. Earlier last month, a few of them were being taken on small hooks by folks chumming for blowďŹ sh. Could this increase in number be yet another sign of southern species edging north due to sea temp changes? Of course, one netful doth not an ecological swing make. Y jaymann@thesandpaper.net

‘The Claw’

Von Gorski was described as someone whose gruff exterior disguised a “marshmallow� interior, and he liked the camaraderie. “So don’t be sad for more than a minute!� encouraged Sharon to past employees on Facebook the day in late September that the wrecking claw began clearing a smooth lot for the new owners. “Life is about the people we love and care about, and the memories we make with them along the way. Ty would be the last person that would want us to be sad. Can’t you just hear that booming voice now?� Added Smith-Lusk, “Everyone worked together and helped each other out; whether you were back or front of the house or takeout/ market, we became one family. Many friendships remain from those years together.� Y mariascandale@thesandpaper.net

Some of the most thoughtful colored men I have conversed with have themselves approved of this policy. I certainly would not myself have approved of it if I had not thought it to their advantage and likely to remove many of the difďŹ culties which have surrounded the appointment and advancement of colored men and women.â€? Meanwhile, Trotter had launched a petition campaign to protest federal segregation. Signed pledges of support from 20,000 people in a majority of the states were returned to Trotter, who, with petitions in hand, asked for an audience with the president. Author Christopher Booker wrote of the meeting for the African-Americans and the Presidency website blacksandpresidency.com. “In November 1913, African Americans ďŹ nally received their opportunity to personally confront President Woodrow Wilson over his policies toward their interests. Trotter presented a lengthy statement to Wilson hammering away at the injustice and inequality of segregation. Trotter told the president the reason for seg-

And with the NJSIAA state-tourney cutoff coming up on Oct. 22, the Rams likely will get to play into November as well. “Sitting where we are is great,â€? Lockwood said. “We’re hoping for a good spot in the state tournament, staring at qualifying for the Shore Conference Tournament, and these guys should be proud of that. But now’s the time to turn it up a notch. Our expectations are not to lose games anymore. “Today, we lost, and these guys are dejected, and that’s OK. It means they expect to win. Now the question is whether they’re going to use at as fuel for the tank or let it become a ďŹ re that burns us.â€? — David Biggy

regation ‘can only be that the segregated are considered unclean, diseased or indecent as to their persons, or inferior beings of a lower order, or that other employees have a class prejudice which is to be catered to or indulged.’ No other of the nation’s ‘racial elements’ are segregated in this manner. Trotter declared, ‘If separate toilets are provided for Latin, Teutonic, Celtic, Slavic, Semitic, and Celtic Americans, then and only then would African Americans be assigned to separation without insult and indignity.’ Trotter continued to say that segregation damages black opportunity for promotion. “President Wilson claimed that he had been misrepresented and that no one in his Cabinet displayed any of these attitudes. Wilson denied that ‘the spirit of discrimination has been shown in any essential matter; certainly not in the matter of promotions. There is not a single instance of that sort, and there will not be.’ The president contended that the segregation order shown to him by the delegation was the ďŹ rst such ‘order of segregation’ that he had seen. He assured the delegation that ‘there is no policy on the part of the Administration looking to segregation.’â€? According to Trotter, they were “protesting against the segregation of employees of the National Government whose ancestry could be traced in whole or in part to Africa, as instituted under your administration. We then appealed to you to undo this race segregation in accord with your duty as President and with your preelection pledges to colored American voters. We stated that such segregation was a public humiliation and degradation, and entirely unmerited and far-reaching in its injurious effects, a gratuitous blow against every loyal citizen and against those, many of whom have aided and supported your elevation to the Presidency of our common country.â€? Wilson agreed to look into the matter, and Trotter returned to Boston and waited for Wilson to act. After a year of no action, Trotter again visited the White House, and this time he wasn’t looking for justice, but a ďŹ ght! Y Next Week: Who do you think you’re talking to? tpfcjf@comcast.net
