Unproductive Cynicism Little Egg Bull Dung To the Editor: Even though I haven’t been to township meetings due to my injuries, it does not mean I don’t read, see and hear all the bull dung going on in Little Egg Harbor.

What am I talking about? Let me tell you my opinions and you will understand.

Lt. Don Johnson is out of work for more than two years and still is receiving a yearly salary of $137,453. Why/how is he still receiving this salary after all this time? What does he know that the township committee will not discuss this issue at the township meeting? Isn’t this action preventing active police officers from getting promotions due them? Answers to these questions would be appreciated although our township-elected officials refuse to comment on this subject.

The MUA is another subject that is bull dung. Joseph Mezzina receives a yearly salary of $5,000 to watch over Dave Johnson, who receives a yearly salary of $200,000. They are supposed to watch out for the safety of the water for the citizens of this community.

Phoenix Pinelands Corp. is constantly allowed by our township to dig beneath the water level for its mining operation. It is now digging below our aquifer’s level. Does anyone know what that means? Correct, water pollution, and yet our township still allows it, constantly letting Phoenix dig deeper.

Something that boggles my mind is if this is supposed to be a bipartisan township, why do the people not have the right to vote for a mayor, but rather have the township committee select who the mayor is? This seems like a socialist action rather than a democratic action to me.

I was so happy when I heard Peter Ferwerda was running because he cares about the people and the community. I have worked with him on many projects to try to help the citizens of this community. I am hoping all the people who were going to support me when I was going to run for the township committee would give their support to Peter. After all, the authorities cannot attack him with the Hatch Act, as they did to me.

Debra Versheck Little Egg Harbor

Actions Speak Loud To the Editor: Long Beach Township is the only municipality in Ocean County that I know of that has cut both taxes and the tax levy. Mayor Mancini, Commissioner Bayard and Commissioner Lattanza cut taxes 2 percent and reduced the tax levy 1.2 percent for the future. They don’t just talk about cutting our taxes like other politicians; they actually cut the taxes.

Also Mayor Mancini, Commissioner Bayard and Commissioner Lattanza have a tremendous record concerning shared services. They don’t just talk about shared services like other politicians; this administration has reached out to share services, and LBT currently receives about $1 million per year income from shared services. Also, this administration completed our first phase of the beach replenishment project from 31st to 57th streets. I invite everyone to go see this beautiful beach that will give everyone much more needed protection from storms.

Mayor Mancini, Commissioner Bayard and Commissioner Lattanza deserve to be re-elected to continue the great job they are doing. They don’t just talk about doing something; they actually do it.

Squeezing Democracy To the Editor: Democracy is defined in Wikipedia as “a form of government in which all eligible citizens have an equal say in the decisions that affect their lives. Democracy allows people to participate equally – either directly or through elected representatives – in the proposal, development, and creation of laws.” In our representative democracy, then, each elected representative is obligated to consider equally the views of all constituents when deciding what programs to pursue and how to vote.

One essential factor to get representatives

to do that is the right of every citizen to one equal vote to put that representative in or out.

But voting alone is not enough to guarantee equal consideration of everyone’s views in the day-to-day operation of government. Throughout our history it was recognized that wealthier individuals and organizations could secure significantly greater consideration of their views in the enactment of laws by: 1) funding the campaigns of elected representatives and receiving favors in return, 2) hiring lobbyists to pursue their agendas and 3) influencing the voting of others through paid advertising.

Today, our democracy is threatened from Continued on Page 9

The following responds to a letter from Phyllis Miller (“Fix the Problem,” 10/17).

Dear Ms. Miller: I’m not sure I consider myself a left-ofcenter American, but I am an American, and your recent letter caught my attention. I just wanted you to know that I am not embarrassed by, nor do I feel I have to defend or make excuses for, our president. In fact, when I heard him speak for the first time at the 2008 Democratic Convention, I told my husband I thought he could help our country regain the respect of other countries in the world. I still feel that way.

Of course, I support your right to disagree with my political opinions. However, I do not understand many of the references you made in your letter and what they have to do with political platforms. You make reference to the fact that the president plays basketball and golf. I’m not sure what you’re trying to say.

You also mention the name “Barry,” which may be referring to the president. Again, I do not understand what this name has to do with the state of our nation. You use the word “choo-choo” in reference to the vice president. I get the feeling you are attempting to establish a cynical tone – is that it?

My husband, who teaches at the local high school, has mentioned how the quality of school lunches has improved this year. I believe this may have something to do with the policies endorsed by First Lady Michelle Obama (I am not on a first name basis, as you are). Again, I do not understand your suggestion that she “should go have a greasy hamburger with fries on the side.” What am I supposed to make of this?

Ms. Miller, if you had complained about the national debt using facts and figures, I could have told you that under President Reagan the debt doubled. I could have said that under the last Bush, it almost doubled again. But under Barack Obama, the percentage of the economy attributed to national debt has fallen.

If you had complained about taxes, I could have told you that Mitt Romney’s plan is not specific, but very sketchy and that Bush’s adviser, Karl Rove, once said that national debts don’t matter.

I could have mentioned that noted economists do not understand how the debt can be lowered without raising taxes for those who can afford to have them raised.

But Ms. Miller, you didn’t mention those Continued on Page 9

Unemployment: We Are Past the Blame Game

By GENE MOYNIHAN he unemployment data for September has recently been released and the results, while slightly improved from previous months, reveal the expansion, or recovery, phase of the recession that officially ended in June 2009 still has a long way to go before the United States gets back to a “normal” level of unemployment.

Economists have considered an unemployment rate of about 5 percent as being normal and an indication of full employment. In support of this idea, consider the fact that during Bill Clinton’s eight years in office the unemployment rate averaged 5.2 percent. In a similar manner, the average rate during George W. Bush’s tenure in office was also 5.2 percent. The current administration, by my estimates, will experience an average four-year unemployment rate between 9.0 and 9.2 percent.

T

The data for September, released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, indicates that 7.8 percent of the labor force is unemployed and that 114,000 new jobs were added. For the employment situation to return to “normal” would require finding jobs for 2,812,000 of the unemployed.

The respected investment advisory service Value Line summed it up this way: “The nation is not creating jobs at the pace needed to materially bring down the unemployment rate. ... Our sense is that we need 200,000 or so new hires per month to markedly lower the jobless rate. We are clearly nowhere near that level, and may not get there – on a sustained basis – for some months yet.”

Even if the nation could create the 200,000 new jobs monthly, at that rate it would take 14 months just to get back to “normal.” However, during that 14-month period, another estimated 1 million workers

would be added to the labor force, bringing the total number of jobs required closer to 3.8 million. If jobs were created at the same rate as in September, 114,000, it would take 25 months to get back to “normal,” but the increase in the labor force would necessitate finding employment for a total of 4.8 million workers and take 42 months. A real “Catch 22.”

I read an article that quoted the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas as saying, “Not a single official of the central bank or any of the regional banks or their staff has the foggiest idea of what is troubling the U.S. economy and what policy, if any, can get the economy back on course.”

How can Washington solve the problem if our leaders don’t understand what it is? This is turning into a Halloween horror story.

In the meantime, while the crowd inside Continued on Page 10

Manufacturing Fix To the Editor: I have been watching the presidential debates on TV with interest. I’m appalled at the lack of fresh, meaningful ideas or proposals.

The candidates would have us believe that there is nothing substantial that can be done to stop the ow of our money and jobs to China and others. They don’t offer any concrete, speciďŹ c proposals to prevent our country from falling further into bankruptcy and becoming just another struggling third world country.

In the absence of a solution to our situation from our country’s leadership, why not try the following?

All goods manufactured outside of the United States and then imported into the United States to be sold at retail should be taxed at the full income tax rate on the full retail price with no deductions for the cost

The SandPaper/Wednesday, October 24, 2012

Continued from Page 6 both ends of this spectrum. Regarding voting, we have not seen since post-Civil War days such a large array of state proposals that would have the effect of restricting voting.

More than 180 such voting requirement bills were introduced since the beginning of 2011 in 41 states, and 16 states passed such laws.

Some of the requirements proposed seem unnecessary. Others, such as a photo ID, may not be unreasonable, but should be put in place carefully, over time, not abruptly right before a major election so as to disenfranchise voters.

This was exactly the concern raised by the Pennsylvania judge who rejected implementation of its new voter ID law for this election.

On disparate inuence among citizens, the recent Supreme Court “Citizens Unitedâ€? decision swept away decades of restrictions and found that corporations and the afuent have a First Amendment right to spend unlimited (and unreported) amounts of money to inuence the outcome of elections. Recent polls have demonstrated widespread citizen opposition to this ruling, regardless of political afďŹ liation.

Just recently, the New Jersey Senate passed Resolution 47 that calls on Congress to overturn the Citizens United decision with a constitutional amendment. The sister resolution in the New Jersey Assembly (AR86) comes up for a oor vote soon. New Jersey could become the eighth state to go on record calling for this.

These are problems that impact all of us.

We urge all citizens on LBI, regardless of political party afďŹ liation, to contact their state assemblyperson in support of this resolution, and to oppose unnecessary and abrupt changes in voter participation requirements wherever that occurs.

Bob Stern, vice president Democratic Club of LBI

of production in the foreign country nor for the cost of transporting said products to the United States.

The status quo on everything made in the United States should continue as is. The manufacturers would be allowed to continue taking all of the deductions they now take. For instance, if a product cost $50 to make in the United States and transport to market and sold at retail for $100, the manufacturer would be allowed to continue to take advantage of all deductions and loopholes. This would result in about 13.5 percent federal tax on the $50 proďŹ t, which equals $6.75 federal tax.

If, on the other hand, the same product were made in China at a cost of $25 and cost $10 to ship it here, these costs would not be deductible and the manufacturer would have to pay the full tax rate of 35 percent on the full retail selling price of $100, which is $35.

The difference in tax revenue on each $100 retail sale would be an additional $28.25 paid by the foreign manufacturers.

This would encourage manufacturers to build their products in the United States, thereby creating many millions of jobs here.

This would put virtually everyone back to work, pay off our deďŹ cits and more than balance our budget with no cuts in social services.

It is time we reversed the ow of U.S. dollars and jobs overseas and get our dollars and jobs from China and others who are holding them and getting fat off us.

Continued from Page 6 the Washington Beltway is singing the “Hallelujah Chorus” because of the 7.8 percent figure, closer to home, the unemployment situation appears to be getting worse. The most recent data for New Jersey indicate that the unemployment rates for July and August, 9.8 and 9.9 percent, were the highest recorded since 1976, some 36 years ago.

In Ocean County, the unemployment ghosts and goblins were out early; rates for June, July and August, 10.6, 10.3 and 9.6 percent, were the highest ever recorded for those months. The unemployment results for Stafford are even more scary and depressing. The township endured five consecutive months of record unemployment rates: April, 9.9 percent; May, 9.3 percent; June, 9.9 percent; July, 10 percent; and August, 9.4 percent.

Unemployment rates for Southern Ocean County are closely correlated with those of Stafford Township. Although there are no monthly unemployment rates available for the balance of Southern Ocean County, it seems reasonable to assume that the conditions in Stafford are indicative of those in Southern Ocean County. This would suggest that the unemployment rate in Southern Ocean County is probably around 11 per-

Continued from Page 9 I realize that this proposal would be deemed to be severe and would bring about lasting repercussions. We are in an extremely dangerous position. Our life, as we know it, will be taken from us if we don’t do something extreme. Half measures, i.e. raising the tax rate on one or more segments of our society, cutting back necessary social programs or any other political rhetoric flavor of the month, will do nothing.

Painful Experiment To the Editor: Mr. Obama on the outside seems to me to be an idealist and theorizer whose knowledge is not of men and women but of sociological abstractions and the more or less useful fictions of economics. If his and his cronies’ behavior is closely observed, they will invariably be found to be working for self-glory or for power. Or both.

I believe Obama considers himself one

cent.

A final thought: Many people think of the Great Depression of the 1930s as being one event. The fact is that it was two back-to-back recessions (a double dip?). It started when the economy peaked in August 1929 and then declined for 43 months to hit bottom in March 1933. The recovery to the next peak in the cycle, May 1937, took 50 months. Then the economy slid into another recession, which bottomed out in June 1938.

The story ended with the advent of World War II. I mention this because the economy is about 80 days away from Jan. 1, the edge of the fiscal cliff. It’s likely that Congress will reach some agreement that will avoid the worst-case scenario – another recession (assuming that we are not already in one or on the edge of one), but it’s also likely that it will have a significant impact on the economy in 2013. Whatever happens, chances are that it won’t be pleasant.

The real solution lies in the creation of jobs, lots of jobs. At this point we’re past the blame game; it doesn’t matter who or what caused the problem, the problem is real and it has to be solved, and solved ASAP. May I respectfully suggest and urgently recommend that this November you vote as if your livelihood depended on it? It does.

Perhaps we can avoid an economic nightmare.

Y Gene Moynihan lives in Manahawkin. of those very rare “born leaders” who have no patience or confidence with democratic methods and are absolutely convinced that they always know what’s best.

Obama has the presence among the faithful of a dominant and fascinating personality.

These people are the “human magnets” in relation to whom ordinary men and women behave like “iron filings.” Their attractive power is hard to analyze and explain. Impressiveness of appearance and intelligence are sometimes present but not invariably. A glittering eye, a mysterious manner, a well-practiced smile that disarms the critics and puts the masses at ease, a vague past bordering on “unknown” – this is never without value. A gift of “gab” is useful (also the teleprompter) and becomes quite invaluable when combined with the right kind of voice, the kind of voice that seems to act directly on the autonomic nervous system and the subconscious mind. Finally there is the unswerving tenacity of purpose, the boundless self-confidence – all the qualities that are so conspicuously absent in the common run of anxious, semi-bewildered average humanity.

Fortunately, the magnetic leader is not immortal. When his current is used up, the iron filings fly apart and another painful and wasteful $$$ experiment in American socialism comes to an end.

Now let’s take a look at the reality that lies behind the luminous words of great promise Continued on Page 13

He is a graduate of Stockton State College with a degree in Management and Finance, and a Washington Township High School graduate. He enjoyed a colorful career in the casino industry and spent 22 years as a room service supervisor and butler, and the last 10 years have been spent building strong relationships as a title insurance account executive. In his free time, Tom is an avid sportsman and a proud member of the Ocean City Exchange Club. Tom’s past experience in real estate sales and investing has served to make him a well rounded asset to The Title Company of Jersey.

Please help us in welcoming Tom to the Title Company of Jersey Team!

Unnecessary Remarks To the Editor: We have the privilege to be able to say what we want in this country, and that’s good.

We can vote for who we choose, and that’s good. But putting people down with derogatory comments gets us nowhere.

Remarks about playing basketball and having a greasy hamburger with fries are unnecessary to make about our president and the first lady.

We have to learn to respect each other.

We may not always agree with what the other person believes in, but nasty remarks will get us nowhere.

Vote Obama Out

To the Editor: I open The SandPaper on the beach Sunday, skipping the Inquirer, for I know what to expect from those liberals, and lo and behold, there is Carole Marks again, from whom we heard recently.

No to LoBiondo To the Editor: This is why I am voting for Cassandra Shober for Congress in the 2nd District. Since the redistricting occurred, let’s face it, we in Southern Ocean County don’t know Congressman LoBiondo from a hole in the wall.

However, after 18 years in Congress, this is how he has represented his constituents.

On jobs, he voted against a ban on government contracts with companies that ship jobs overseas. He voted for the Ryan budget, which would slash investment in infrastructure that would create jobs.

On veterans, he voted against an increase in combat pay. He also voted against vets receiving the appropriate medical care when they return from Iraq and/or Afghanistan. He voted for cutting funding for homeless vets.

On women’s issues, he voted against the equal pay for equal work act, the Lilly Ledbetter Act. It got passed anyway and was signed into law. He voted for a bill that would give tax exemptions to insurance companies that would deny coverage for abortions except in the case of rape. He voted to bar funding for Planned Parenthood, which would give poor women a chance to seek qualified medical aid, such as mammograms.

On the American family, he voted to slash education funding by $700 million and voted for decreases in Pell Grants.

These are not my values. I urge you to vote with the Democrats on Nov. 6. In particular, I urge you to vote for Cassandra Shober for Congress in the 2nd District.

Menendez Unresponsive To the Editor: Why should New Jerseyans elect Joe Kyrillos to the U.S. Senate?

The answer is simple: He will represent us and our state, unlike Robert Menendez, who has been in Congress too long, so long he has forgotten why he is there.

13 The SandPaper/Wednesday, October 24, 2012

Continued from Page 10 of four years ago. Emanating from the White House there is an atmosphere that is moralistic instead of moral, coercive arm-twisting rather than persuasive. It seems the biggest accomplishment to come from Washington, D.C. has been to polarize instead of reconcile, to transform the political ground into a barren no-man’s land of unremitting combat. It seems nowadays we never just live here in the U.S.A. We are always in some sort of apprehensive fear, hoping that some expensive “utopian scheme” hatched in the White House isn’t going to affect the common people disastrously.

What we really need in the country is a let-usalone law.

Obama’s expansion of the monumental national debt has set a new standard for madness. What have we to show for this wanton extravagance? Two hundred and thirty-six years ago we went to war with a foreign power over high taxes (the Stamp Act tax was the final straw). Today it seems the over-taxing enemy is our own government. The Supremes have rules that the cost of Obamacare should be considered a tax. How wonderful!

Few people around today will remember the comic strip “Pogo,” by Walt Kelly (circa 1950). Some say it was the predecessor to today’s politically themed Doonesbury. In Pogo, the main character with the same name has as his trademark the immortal line, said many times, “We has met the enemy and he is us!”

Meanwhile, the shells of broken eggs continue to pile up around the White House, but scant few omelets have been made.

Bob Holmes Beach Haven

Well, after reading the first three paragraphs, I stopped reading, knowing full well her Kool-Aid glass has too much sugar in it. I have no patience to refute her claims, although I have heard every one.

I glance down to Will Bowman’s piece, where the facts bear themselves out. And in the letters section Phyllis Miller highlights the immaturity of our vice president, and the inability of Mr. O to tighten our nation’s wallet in Washington. I know I’ve had to.

Voting this disgrace out of office, to borrow a term from Barry, would be optimal.

Please do it.

To the Editor: When we voters decide the candidate for president this year, we choose the path America will take in addressing the problems we have become burdened with the last four years: the economy, national debt, jobs growth, government spending and repeated abuses of power

No Comparison To the Editor: I am responding to the letter “Real Reformer” (10/17) by Jackie Siciliano. I, too, have been a fan of Sarah Palin and have argued about the obvious prejudice against her by the media and social elite.

What she has accomplished in her life far exceeds anything Hillary has done by riding on her husband’s coattails. There is no comparison as to how more successful Mrs. Palin has been. As a matter of fact, it is insulting to think Hillary could compare with the tenacity and resilience that Mrs. Palin has shown.

I am saddened by the loss of life in Libya but furious over the obvious scandal and cover-up at the White House. What fools, lying to the public and thinking they could whitewash it over and make it palatable for us to believe! Yet this is what the Democratic/ Liberal party has become. There are no more Hubert Humphreys around; the party has been taken over by left-wing radicals.

The only thing good to come from this mess is this has become the death knell for Hillary entertaining any thought of running for the presidency in 2016. We have God to thank for that.

Eddie Schwind Haven Beach

I would like to thank the more than 3,000 residents who have opened their doors for our team during the last four months of us walking the neighborhoods Continued on Page 49

Continued from Page 13 A prime example of Menendez’s disregard for his constituents is his behavior before the vote on the Affordable Care Act. Despite being urged by voters to hold town hall meetings, he held not one. When voters called his office in mid-August 2010, they were told Menendez hadn’t set his summer schedule yet. It was mid-August, and while other congressmen and women were explaining this contentious piece of legislation, Menendez was nowhere to be found.

When pressed, a Newark office staffer said Menendez had held “interactive meetings.”

There was no answer as to why someone who requested town halls had not been advised about the “interactivity.”

The staffer also said the senator planned to meet with constituents before the vote. I’m still waiting.

Needless to say, Menendez, as always, voted the party line. To my knowledge, he never once met directly with his concerned, anxious constituents about a bill that will affect one of the most important concerns of their lives – health care.

Kyrillos’ record as a New Jersey state senator shows how dedicated he is to the people who have sent him to Trenton since 1988. The proof is in his re-election history: Kyrillos has earned 60 percent of the vote and higher each time he asked voters whether he deserves another term.

Conversely, a lime test on Menendez’s performance exists in the ranking of states in terms of how much federal taxes their residents spent vs. how much the state received in federal dollars. New Jersey ranks third from the bottom.

That’s why on Nov. 6, everyone in New Jersey must tell Kyrillos that we need him in the U.S. Senate because we deserve the kind of honest, sincere and dependable representation he provides.

As for Carole Marks’ Oct. 18 Commentary: There is one simple answer to the many “points” she attempts to make, all of which are based on Democratic spin, lies and/or not fact. The answer: money. Obama has no plan to cut the deficit, which so many Dems claim is “not a problem.” Try telling that to your mortgage holder. We are in this mess because of too many years of politicians telling us what we want to hear – and/or get - without being able to pay for it. We need Romney to begin our way back to fiscal stability and national strength.

Ann Powers Stafford Township

by the White House and federal agencies.

Many citizens are concerned about the attempts to attack our Second Amendment and about the many in Congress who share the Obama vision for an America and have been lying low until he gets re-elected. Many of us feel that the gloves will come off and we will be told not to worry about what the voters think.

Recall what Obama said when he was caught telling Dmitry Medvedev, Russia’s then-president: “This is my last election. After my election I will have more flexibility.” You decide on what he meant by “flexibility.”

One does not have to wonder about the kind of justices he will appoint — he has already put two anti-gun justices on the Supreme Court. Currently there are several federal and state court cases dealing with gun laws.

Vote for a solid choice for America and the citizens of this great country. Vote for freedom.

he fifth annual Fall Furfest, a Halloween party and pet adoption event, will be held at the Southern Ocean County Animal Facility, located at 360 Haywood Rd. in Manahawkin, on Saturday, Oct. 27, from 1 to 4 p.m. The event will feature information on animal health and grooming, as well as expert training tips.

Dress your playful pooches and frisky felines in their best costumes for a chance to win first place in various categories, including funniest, scariest, cutest and most original get-up. Then show off those creative outfits during the dog parade.

“Each year the parade of animals gets bigger,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health, in an Oct. 12 press release.

“It’s a great way for a family to spend a Saturday afternoon,” he added.

Stick around for giveaways, games and a delicious bake sale. Professional pet photos shot by expert photographer Mike Bagley will be offered throughout the day for a nominal fee.

People will also have the opportunity to check out the facility’s various breeds of dogs and cats that are available for adoption.

Adoption fees will be waived for certain pets.

For more information, contact the facility at 609-978-0127, or visit the Ocean County Health Department at http://www.ochd.org/.

T

he Southern Regional Education Foundation and Causeway Family of Dealerships of Manahawkin are once again partnering for the third annual “Drive 4 UR School” fundraiser, scheduled for Friday, Oct. 26. From noon until 5 p.m. in the west parking lot of the district’s 11/12 building, at 395 Cedar Bridge Rd. in Manahawkin, community members can test drive a Ford at no cost to the driver. Corporate Ford will give the SREF $20 for each person who test drives a vehicle – either a 2013 Ford Edge, Ford F-150, Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKS, Ford Mustang, Ford Focus or Ford Explorer – during the event.

All proceeds, which can total up to $6,000, benefit the SREF. To qualify, drivers must be 18 years of age and possess a valid driver’s license.

Participants must fill out a brief survey after completing the test drive.

“Although there are members of the Causeway Family of Dealerships on hand to answer questions about the vehicles,” states a press release from the district, “the companion drivers during the test drive are members of the SREF Board of Trustees and members of the Southern faculty.”

The mission of the nonprofit SREF, chartered in 2007 and incorporated in 2008, is to financially support programs that nurture the interests, aptitudes and talents of the students of Southern Regional School District. All members of the foundation board of trustees are volunteers, and all funds raised go directly into educational programs.

In the past few years, the foundation has purchased educational technology for the classrooms, funded staff professional development and student work programs, and awarded scholarships to graduating seniors.

Most recently, the foundation appropriated $12,000 to transform a special-needs school bus the school district was retiring from service to a mobile television studio to be utilized by the students and staff to expand coverage ability for the Southern News Network.

For more information on the fundraiser, call the Southern Regional School District at 609-597-9481. —J.K.-H.

Pinelands Regional Opens Its Doors

O

ne man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Sell old belongings or crafts, or search for unique items, at Pinelands Regional High School’s “Indoor Garage Sale” on Saturday, Oct. 27, and help reduce the cost of the yearbook for students.

The event runs from 8 a.m. until noon in the school cafeteria, at 590 Nugentown Rd. in Little Egg Harbor.

“Tables are only $20, and you can sell whatever you’d like, from actual garage-sale items to arts and crafts,” said yearbook coadviser Jill Flanagan. “Everything will be inside the Pinelands Regional High School cafeteria, so your items will be nice and protected, and the event will happen rain or shine.

“Even if you are not interested in a table, you’re welcome to attend the event for free and see what kind of goodies you can find!”

As co-adviser Sherry DiMeglio pointed out, she and Flanagan “are always trying to raise money to help reduce the cost of the yearbook to the students. It costs about $140 per book, but we only charge students $80. This means that we must fundraise the rest,” via a school fashion show, a staff basketball game, Mr. Pinelands and the sale of sweatshirts.

For more information on the indoor garage sale or to reserve a table, e-mail DiMeglio at sdimeglio@prsdnj.org or Flanagan at jflanagan@prsdnj.org. —J.K.-H. a fun-filled evening.

O

n May 28, 1934, Elzire Dionne gave birth to five girls in a rural Ontario town. The Dionne Quintuplets – Annette, Cecile, Emilie, Marie and Yvonne – were the first such known quints to have ever survived infancy and live into adulthood. On top of that, they were identical.

“There are only two other instances of identical quintuplets documented,” said Rosemary Molloy, a Little Egg Harbor Township resident, who will speak about “What Happened to the Babies” on Thursday, Nov. 1, 10:30 a.m. at the Stafford Branch of the Ocean County Library.

The program is part of the Friends of the Library’s Thursday Adventure series.

A fraternal twin, Molloy said she’d had a longtime fascination with the lives of the girls and has visited their birthplace, which is now a museum. She will bring her large collection of books, photos, memorabilia and souvenirs.

Had the girls been born today, they would have spent time in a neonatal intensive care unit before receiving medical clearance to go home.

But she said the Dionnes were born in a home that did not have electricity or indoor plumbing.

“They eventually were able to get incubators, but before that, they were placed in a butcher basket which sat in front of the door of a wood-burning stove,” she said.

Their mother was only 25 when they were born, and since she already had five children, the government took the girls away for eight years, believing the parents were unfit to raise them.

Molloy said they lived in a special hospital built for them by the government. The facility was later called “Quintland.” It became a tourist attraction, and visitors paid admission to see them.

Of the five, Annette and Cecile are still living. Emilie died in 1954 from an epileptic seizure. Mary suffered a fatal blood clot at age 35, and Yvonne died of cancer in 2001.

“As young girls, they bonded well together, but they often clashed with their parents and other siblings,” said Molloy. “The two still living are very reclusive.”

lants can be a real pain, as any Southerner dealing with kudzu or New Jersey gardeners who can’t give away their bleeping zucchini can tell you. And then there’s Audrey II, the botanical star of “Little Shop of Horrors,” being performed this week (“Just in Time for Halloween”) at Pinelands Regional High School.

“Little Shop of Horrors,” described as a “comedy horror rock musical,” has been a favorite of community and high school theater companies for years. Based on a 1960 lowbudget film that was directed by Roger Corman and became a cult classic, it features music by Alan Menken and a book and lyrics by Howard Ashman. The musical style is early 1960s doo-wop, rock ’n’ roll and Motown, thus the inclusion of a singing “Greek Chorus” made up of Chiffon (Corrine Levy), Crystal (Toni Ann Simione) and Ronette (Olivia Cruser) in the cast. When the original production of “Little Shop” closed on Nov. 1, 1987, it was the third-longest-running musical and highestgrossing production in Off-Broadway history.

Back to Audrey II. Oh, she was cute enough – if “strange and interesting” – when Seymour (Ryan Dubinin), a schmuck of an orphan who works at the rundown, skid-row flower shop of Mr. Mushnik (Alex Fromosky), purchased it from an old Chinese man in the midst of an unexpected solar eclipse. But after Seymour named the plant for Audrey (Alison Waldron), his co-worker and object of his affection, and it started attracting customers by droves to the impoverished business, Audrey II became a monster. A blood-sucking monster, as Seymour discovered after accidentally pricking his finger in the plant’s presence.

Audrey II (voice provided by Alfredo Ramirez; movement provided by Brian Birks), shoots up like a gangly teenager while enjoying a diet of Seymour’s blood, bringing Seymour celebrity and Mr. Mushnik wealth.

But Seymour is getting weak from providing Audrey II with nourishment, and the plant is becoming not only huge but menacing. Not only that, it talks! www.stfranciscenterlbi.com) The class is an introduction to basic tumbling and mat skills for boys and girls and includes different pieces of equipment. 4-5 pm.

Fee: center member, $50; nonmember, $70.

TUESDAYS, NOVEMBER 6 & 13 Watercolor Workshop with Jim McFarlane, Pine Shores Art Assn., 94 Stafford Ave., Manahawkin (609-294-8264 or www.pineshoresartassociation. org) Fees: member, $50; nonmember, $75. 9:30 am-3:30 pm.

HAZARDOUS HORTICULTURE: Audrey II, in the lap of Seymour (Ryan Dubinin), joins the cast in rehearsal. The school drama club musical runs Oct. 24-27 at 7 each night.

Audrey II suggests that Seymour murder somebody so she can have a good feast. The idea revolts Seymour – until Audrey II hints he should murder Orin (Nelson Roy Furman III), a sadistic, nitrous oxide-inhaling dentist who dates Audrey and constantly abuses her. When Seymour sees Orin slap his unrequited love, he, packing a handgun, decides to pay the dentist a little late-night visit in his office.

Will Audrey II be properly fed? Will the nerdish Seymour shoot Orin? Will Seymour and the original Audrey fall in love and live happily ever after? Will Audrey realize her dream of living in the suburbs, which she sings about in “Somewhere That’s Green”?

A matchbox of our own A fence of real chain link A grill out on the patio Disposal in the sink A washer and a dryer

And an ironing machine In a tract house that we share Somewhere that’s green.

There are even more questions. Just where did Audrey II, apparently a never-heard-of-before species, come from? And if she continues growing and becoming more powerful, can anybody stop her? And what would happen if a company called World Botanical Enterprises has its way and takes leaf cuttings of the plant and sells them all across America?

Well, you’ll have to attend “Little Shop of Horrors,” being performed at Pinelands Regional on Wednesday through Saturday, Oct. 24, 25, 26 and 27, to find the answers to all of these questions. Curtain time each evening is 7. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for seniors and students and may be purchased at the door.

Opportunity Knocks, Entertainment Awaits at STAC’s Talent Showcase

T

here will be a little something for everyone at the Stafford Township Arts Center Talent Showcase on Tuesday, Nov. 13, all put on display in a big way. Whether you are part of an established group, an amateur just starting out, or someone just looking to be entertained by it all, this is an event for you.

For those hoping to take the stage and spotlight – ages 12 and up – there is still time and space to register and sign up by Nov. 6, said Kelly Harris, STAC manager and conservatory director.

“Whether they’re singing, dancing or doing comedy, this just gives them a really beautiful venue to showcase their talent and hone their skills,” said Harris. Those already signed up include a group of seniors with a well-practiced tap dance routine; local dance studio troupes with choreographed numbers; pianists; and singers. Those interested in signing up should contact the STAC directly at 609-489-8600 and an application will be e-mailed to you. The event runs from 6:30 to 8 p.m. and tickets can be purchased at the door for $5.

“This is a really rare opportunity,” said Harris. Professional lighting and sound engineers are donating their time to make every second of each act’s 3-5 minute performance as polished as possible.

For small theater companies that might not be able to afford renting a state-of-the-art theater of the STAC’s caliber, Harris noted the Talent Showcase remains open to them should they wish to perform an excerpt from a show they may be currently working on.

“The talent show is really about opening the theater up to the community and making it a more viable resource,” she remarked.

Harris has 20 years of experience in the

business. She was hired to take over management duties at the STAC last November. It is experiences like the ones she had in March, when the first Talent Showcase took place, that keep her inspired.

“An older gentleman that sings country music went on stage for the first time, and his wife was in the audience. He sang the song that brought them together for the first time. He was nervous and kept saying he was going to forget the lyrics. I said, ‘You’re telling a story.

You won’t forget them if you tell them a story.’

It was really emotional.”

“Another singer was a young man who is autistic; that was phenomenal. He sang a John Lennon song that brought the house down. His mom never thought it was going to go over but he played to the audience, getting on one knee.

And I had chills from seeing that this young man was able to show what an amazing talent he has.”

Harris hopes the second rendition of Talent Showcase will see even more moments like these. It remains her primary motivation, along with working to create additional opportunities for performers beyond the STAC. “I try to connect people locally to nationally recognized artists, to give them that exposure. For example, Atlantic City Ballet offered a part in its show for someone that might do well. Or OceanFirst Theater said they might have roles for children in their holiday show.

That’s what makes me keep going and makes me work 70 hours a week – seeing children being able to have that one-on-one contact with established artists and develop their talent. It makes you feel like you’re touching someone’s life in a positive way.”

USCG Commander To Honor Auxiliary At Nov. 2 Meeting A big bird is coming to Manahawkin.

No, not Big Bird; he’s rather busy defending the PBS budget in this election season. Rather another big bird, actually a full-bird – Capt.

Kathleen Moore, commanding officer of U.S. Coast Guard Sector Delaware Bay. Moore will be appearing at the monthly meeting of U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Division 7 to formally recognize the efforts of the Coast Guard auxiliary members who serve in its six flotillas. The meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 2 at the Mill

County Repairing BH Water Mains

P

eople driving through the southern portion of Bay Avenue in Beach Haven will have to get used to their routines getting disrupted since the Ocean County Utilities Authority recently began repairing two wastewater force mains. Neil O’Regan, the authority’s construction manager, said the 8- and 12-inch pipes run from Belvoir Avenue to Nelson Avenue at the Holgate border.

“We’ve started in the Belvoir area and are working our way south,” said O’Regan. “We should be out of there in a week or so. We’re looking to get finished in the middle of December.”

O’Regan said part of the work involves sealing the inside of the pipes with a resin-type substance. The contractor is Insituform Technologies, based in St. Louis, Mo. “The resin gets carried into the pipes through pumping water,” he said. “When the resin settles, it hardens to where it serves as a pipe within a pipe. This is a better alternative to taking out the entire pipelines and replacing them with new mains.”

O’Regan estimated the mains were 30 to 35 years old.

“We did similar work in Long Beach Township,” he said. “We have to make sure the infrastructure does not get too old so that it breaks down.”

Beach Haven Borough Manager Richard Crane said cars have been detoured to West Avenue and other side streets.

“I know this situation has annoyed some people,” he said. “There’s not usually much traffic on West Avenue this time of year, and it definitely has bothered some of the homeowners.”

Crane said police officers have been stationed at the detours to facilitate traffic. He said drivers often forget that the speed limits on local roads is 25 miles per hour. The offseason speed limit on Bay Avenue is 40 mph in that section.

“The police have pulled some people over on the side streets and have given them warnings,” he said.

Creek Community Center in Stafford Township.

Military veterans will appreciate the significance of Moore’s visit because “full-birds” – captains in the Coast Guard and Navy and colonels in the Army, Marine Corps and Air Force – are big brass, whose nickname springs from the fact their insignia of rank is an eagle clutching an olive branch and a bundle of arrows in its talons. Indeed, the average Coastie serving at a small boat station or on all but that service’s largest ships might see a full-bird once every couple of years at an inspection or change-ofcommand ceremony. A captain visiting an auxiliary unit is a high honor.

Moore will be especially honoring the coxwains and crews of two auxiliary vessels that were involved in bay rescues in the past few months.

One performed two separate assists in Barnegat Bay just south of the Dorland J. Henderson Memorial Bridge on Aug. 25. The intrepid auxiliarists first helped a pair of paddle boarders who were in distress and then assisted a fatigued swimmer who was floundering in the middle of the heavily-traveled Intercoastal Waterway.

The other auxiliarists to be honored will be the coxswain and crew of a vessel that rendered assistance to two capsized sailboaters near the mouth of the Toms River on Oct. 6, as reported in The SandPaper last week.

Coast Guard Sector Delaware Bay, with headquarters in Philadelphia, has approximately 570 men and women on active duty and about 195 reservists. Its units include a field office in Atlantic City, six small boat stations, six cutters, two ANTS (aids to navigation teams), the Atlantic Strike Team (the service’s first responders at major oil and hazardous material spills) and the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary 5th District Northern Region.

ALL-OUT EFFORT: Students from both Ethel Jacobsen and LBI elementary schools took part in Thursday’s area-wide Barnegat Bay cleanup program, coordinated by the state Department of Environmental Protection.

LBI School Students Go on a ‘Blitz’ in DEP Barnegat Bay Watershed Cleanup

T

he local environment was the main subject on Oct. 18 at the Long Beach Island Consolidated School District as students took part in activities for the Barnegat Bay Blitz.

A massive cleanup initiated last year by the state Department of Environmental Protection, the blitz was part of a public education campaign in Gov. Christie’s 10-point comprehensive action plan to address the ecological health of the Barnegat Bay and its watershed.

“Our fi rst cleanup was held last October and we had another one in May,” said DEP spokesman Larry Hajna. “The idea was to work with town officials, senior citizens, students, businesses and any other volunteers in all 37 communities in the Barnegat Bay watershed area. We were especially hoping to have schools participate because it is a great educational tool. The future of the watershed will depend on these kids as they grow into adults.”

Karen McKeon, LBI district superintendent, said that at the Ethel Jacobsen School in Surf City, children in the pre-K program and the first and second grades picked up litter and debris on the school grounds.

“They also made a fish out of

recyclable materials,” she said.

At the LBI Grade School in Ship Bottom, third-graders cleaned up the area, while fourth- and fifth-graders planted dune grass and collected litter on the beaches.

The sixth grade students picked up debris at the bay beach in Surf City and also took samples for water quality testing.

McKeon said there were also presentations from Surf City Councilman Peter Hartney and Rick Bushnell, president of ReClam the Bay. “We have various programs throughout the year to make sure our children understand the importance of preserving our coastal environment,” she said.

Hajna said that overall, the blitz collected 799 bags of trash and 180 bags of recyclables.

“We also had an additional 13 Dumpsters of trash,” he said. “A lot of the stuff volunteers were looking for were commonly discarded items.”

However, there were some items that weren’t too common, such as 35 TVs found at a site in South Toms River.

“There were places in Stafford and Lacey where we found discarded hot tubs,” said Hajna. “We found an abandoned refrigerator in Toms

River and Island Beach State Park.”

He said volunteers also found an old sailboat sitting in the Brendan Byrne State Forest, located just west of Lacey Township.

“We wish people wouldn’t use these areas as dumping grounds,” he said. “We found some large items like those in our first two blitz cleanups.”

In the first blitz, 731 trash bags were filled, and recyclable items filled an additional 531 bags. There were also three Dumpsters filled with trash. In last spring’s event, 816 bags of trash and 272 bags of recyclables were picked up, along with eight Dumpsters.

When you get an opportunity to help clean up something as important as the Barnegat Bay, it is a great thing,” said Deputy DEP Commissioner Irene Kropp in a press release. “But it’s not only about going out and picking up trash. It’s about an overall vision on how we can clean the surface waters of the state. With the Barnegat Bay, there is a lot science and sampling going on designed to improve the bay’s health. The goal is to make the restoration of the Barnegat Bay as a model to improve the other surface waters of the state.”

Trap-Release Feral Cat Program Returns to HC Friday

O

n Friday, Oct. 26, the Friends of the Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter will hold the second trap/neuter/return program in Harvey Cedars to help control the number of feral cats.

Dottie Reynolds, president of FOSOCAS, said the TNR program is the most effective way to manage the feral cat population and protect the public. Using this technique, the animals are humanely trapped, neutered and vaccinated for rabies and distemper. They are also treated for pain or other medical needs. After they are treated, males are released after 24 hours, while females are kept inside for three or four days. Then they are returned to their territory, where caregivers can provide them

with food, water and shelter.

“Unless they are very young kittens, these animals can’t be brought into a home,” said Reynolds. “You don’t want to pick them up and take them to a shelter because they will probably be euthanized. So the best thing to do is to return them to their environment, and since they are neutered, they won’t be increasing the cat population.”

Reynolds said that on Wednesday and Thursday, FOSOCAS volunteers would trap the cats in various areas of the borough. She said the traps are mesh-wire boxes in which the cat enters through a door. At the far end of the box is a plate containing food.

When the cat touches the plate, it activates a spring that shuts the door.

The animals will then be moved to the Harvey Cedars Police Department garage, where they will stay until an Associated Humane Societies mobile veterinary unit van pulls up to begin treating them on Friday morning.

Reynolds said during the program last spring, the volunteers trapped 24 cats and all but one was returned.

“One was too ill and unfortunately had to be euthanized,” she said. “This time, we’re looking to care for 25 to 30 cats.

“It is not the fault of feral cats that they are homeless and hungry.

In a perfect world, every cat would be spayed or neutered and live happily ever after, indoors with a responsible pet owner. However, this is an imper-

fect world with irresponsible pet owners who have not yet spayed/neutered their cats, and who abandon their cats at the end of vacation or when they move or when they are tired of taking care of them.”

Reynolds said donations are needed for the organization to continue TNR programs. Total cost for the Harvey Cedars program was approximately $3,500. Checks may be sent to FOSOCAS, P.O. Box 1162, Manahawkin, N.J. 08050, or to Associated Humane Societies, Popcorn Park Zoo, 1 Humane Way, Forked River, N.J. 08731. “Feral cat project” should be written in the check memo space.

She said people could also call a TNR helpline at 609-207-9036 for more information. —E.E.

Annual Harvest Festival in Manahawkin Celebrates Simple Seasonal Pleasures

S

tafford Township’s downtown area was a hub of fun-filled activity on Saturday, Oct. 20 during the annual Fall Harvest Festival, which brought 2,000 people to Manahawkin Lake Park to partake of the season’s bounty: clever costumes, hayrides, pumpkins, scarecrows, shopping, playing, festival fare and smiling faces as abundant as the sunshine.

The noontime Halloween parade showcased imaginative costumes ranging from adorable to grotesque, silly to sublime. Later, the mild night air was the perfect accompaniment to a lakeside bonfire and a double feature of family movies under the stars.

Adding to the spirit of com-

munity, local officials and their families joined in the festivities as township council candidates worked the crowd and passed out campaign literature, while crafters and merchants worked their tented tables, meeting new people and giving their businesses a boost.

As the contest winners were announced, an impressive pair stood out as the Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat. For mother-daughter duo Nancy and Stephanie Cook, every Halloween is an opportunity to put their creativity and considerable sewing skills to work.

They constructed their costumes from a mix of new, secondhand and re-purposed materials. From a fluffy, pink blanket Stephanie fashioned

her headpiece, mini dress and boot toppers. She completed the look with a pair of oversized, cat-like glasses.

Meanwhile, Peanut, their Yorkshire-terrier-Pomeranian mix, sported a canine Caterpillar costume from TJ Maxx. As the Mad Hatter, Nancy modeled her costume after Johnny Depp’s character in “Alice in Wonderland,” complete with fiery red, curly hair and wild eyebrows, a spools-of-thread necklace, pincushion ring and dazzling green contact lenses – somewhat disturbing to behold and slightly too intense, as it turned out, for the kids at Stafford Intermediate School, where Nancy works.

CHOO-CHOO: Lost souls from the Tuckahoe trainwreck return.

Honorably discharged veterans can now obtain a free photo identification card from the Ocean County Clerk’s Offi ce that makes it easier to take advantage of a wide variety of veteran discount programs. Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little said the Veterans ID Card Act, signed into law by Gov. Christie this past August, is especially important in Ocean County, which is home to more veterans – approximately 68,000 – than any other county in the state.

“We encourage all of our veterans to bring their discharge papers to the county clerk’s office and take advantage of this free program,” said Little.

“Some shore towns also offer veterans a discount on beach badges or even allow vets on the beach for free,” he added. “With this card, there is no doubt about the holder’s veterans status.”

To obtain a card, a veteran must provide his or her DD-214 discharge papers at either the county clerk's main office, at 118 Washington St. in Toms River, or at the Southern Service Center, at 179 South Main St. in Manahawkin.

“For the convenience of our residents, the ID cards are available at both locations during normal business hours,” said Freeholder John P. Kelly, who serves as both director of law and public safety and liaison to the Ocean County Clerk’s Office.

Ocean County Clerk Scott M. Colabella said more than 8,800 veterans have already recorded their DD-214 papers with the office. “If you have already recorded your papers, then all you have to do is come in for your card,” he noted.

The ID cards are not designed to replace federal veterans identifi cation needed to access government programs such as VA hospitals and clinics, Colabella added. — J.K.-H.

Claiming Last Year’s Planted Clams

It’s Harvest Time For ReClam the Bay With a Hardy Crop Photographs by Ryan Morrill

By MARIA SCANDALE arvest time for clams dawned Saturday, and the crop in Waretown drew smiles from ReClam the Bay volunteers. Forty thousand inch-long bivalves had survived and thrived through a mild winter and sizzling summer since they were “planted” by the environmental organization a year ago.

“The growth rate is phenomenal, the survival is really good,” added Rutgers Extension agent and project leader Gef Flimlin, who stood hipdeep in bay water on Oct. 20 with a dozen others collecting the clams.

On a nearby dock, another dozen volunteers stood in a production line counting the seemingly bottomless buckets of bivalves. The men and women came from the Brick Township area southward to Egg Harbor to advance the clams to their next stage, which eventually results in being stocked in local waters.

ReClam the Bay grows and maintains as many as one million baby clams and oysters a year, not only to “re-clam,” as its name describes, but also to promote environmental education and involvement.

“As we grow seed clams and oysters to stock our local bay, we teach everyone how important and fragile the shellfish population, and our environment, really is,” president Rick Bushnell summarizes on the opening

H

page of the website, reclamthebay.org.

Educational programs with schools are part of the outreach.

On this Saturday, the group was harvesting inch-plus-sized clams that were placed last year, and then sprinkling fingernail-sized babies that will grow in the coming year: smaller baby clams that have been nursed in upwellers.

“Each year we grow about a million shellfish in the upwellers,” outlined Bushnell. “To do what we call grow out, we take them out of the upwellers, put them in the bay, and put a predator net over them. They stay there all that winter, and then they stay there the next summer, feeding and getting bigger. After a full year, we go and take them out of the bay.”

The harvested clams are dispersed at several locations in Barnegat Bay, where they will either continue to reproduce or can be caught by commercial or recreational clammers. ReClam the Bay harvested its first crop in 2006. Since then, it has planted more than 10.5 million clams and 1.5 million oysters in nearby waters.

Saturday marked the full year of growth for the 2011 crop. The nonprofit organization leases the two-acre growth plot from the state. The exact location of the natural nursery in the bay off Waretown isn’t advertised to the public. Another lease site for grow

FINDING SHELL-TER: (Above left) Volunteer baymen and women dot the waterscape as they rake and retrieve the clam crop.

(Above) After the clams were collected, other volunteers stood by to count them, all 40,000 for this phase of the project. out is located in a state conservation area at the Sedge Islands west of Island Beach State Park.

“This is also the time of year that we take our growth data and statistical information and put all of that together, so that by mid-December we’ll have our annual report,” Bushnell said. The data is made available to the scientific community, and can serve as a launch point for further scientific study, he said.

“All of our data are about our observations, largely related to growth.

We have our growth data from our farthest north upweller, which is in Mantoloking, to our farthest south upweller, which is in Beach Haven.

There is no other data like it, because it covers the whole bay, all 40 miles of it.”

The mild winter, followed by warm waters of the summer of 2012, seems to have favored the crop.

“These are as good as we get. They look great, and we’re getting good quantities,” said ReClam the Bay education coordinator Wes Dalzell of Brick Township.

“Because how warm the winter was, these clams, I think, got so much

more growth,” Flimlin agreed, turning over a sample in his hand. “The oneyear growth on here is really good.

And it’s been managed well over the last year,” he added, referring to maintenance such as keeping the protective netting clean.

“We would expect to get stuff out at maybe 25 millimeters, and these are probably 25 to 30 millimeters or more in length,” Flimlin said.

“Legal size is an inch and a half, and some of these are coming up at an inch. And they were planted at about one quarter to a half an inch … We’re going to plant this in seasonal water so some of the commercial guys will have access to it periodically. And some of it is going to go down behind Mordecai Island, and some is going to go up around Barnegat Light at High Bar Harbor,” Flimlin said.

By summer 2013, the inch-long clams harvested on Saturday are expected to be legal size for harvest by clammers who have a recreational or a commercial clamming license, ReClam the Bay operators said.

Dalzell pointed out the growth that had sprung from tiny clam “seed” no bigger than sesame seeds. After four

months in the upwellers, the seed grows to about fingernail size and can be placed in the bay shore grow out beds under the protection of a predator net.

“They grew from, you see that little spot on the end?” he pointed out. “That’s the size when we got them from a hatchery. We buy seed clams from a hatchery and we grow them in the upweller tanks around the bay until they get to about 10 to 20 millimeters.

“The survival rate in the tanks is very high, probably 95 to 98 percent, at least,” Dalzell said. “And they get put out in the bay here for another season. Last year’s are the ones that we’re raking up.”

Some topneck-sized clams that evaded last year’s raking were also being harvested on Saturday.

Oysters resurging in recent years were replanted last week as well –350,000 were put on a reef near the mouth of the Toms River on Monday

by ReClam the Bay, the Barnegat Bay Shellfish Restoration Project, and the state Bureau of Shellfisheries.

Tricks, Treats and Then Some

Treasure Avenue Yard Haunt Goes ‘One Step Beyond’

By VICTORIA LASSONDE or a full-scale, professionalgrade haunted attraction this Halloween, look no farther than Treasure Avenue in Manahawkin, where one family’s front yard is transformed into Ocean Acres’ epicenter of scream-worthy frights and eerie delights.

Chuck Blanchard has upheld his elaborate Halloween tradition for the last 10 years, largely inspired by his grandfather, who was known for over-the-top holiday displays at Halloween and Christmastime.

His grandfather’s example, along with his own lifelong love of horror movies, ghost stories and supernatural phenomena, set him on a course of creative imaginings that grow bigger and better every year. Befitting Blanchard’s ongoing aim to outdo himself, the name of the haunted attraction is “One Step Beyond.”

A walk-through mausoleum and graveyard, live actors and computerized characters (try to tell them apart!) and spooky interactive scenes create a complete, hairraising atmosphere.

“It really is a spectacle,” he said.

He estimated last year’s “yard haunt” drew 500 visitors – at its height, people in line for the mausoleum had a 30-minute wait, the suspense fueled by the shrieks and screams coming from inside. This year’s layout includes a longer, scarier mausoleum experience and additional considerations for traffic flow and the safety of people lined up outside.

A supportive community helps to make Blanchard’s annual event a success, he said – though some neighbors good-naturedly gripe about supplying the demand of the trick-or-treating throngs Blanchard brings to Treasure Avenue.

“It’s getting out of hand, at this point,” he said with a laugh. Having run out of room in his basement, he now rents a storage unit for his props and supplies.

In March, Blanchard starts the designing and planning process for Halloween. To spark new ideas and to develop or improve existing features, his research may take him across the country in search of other large-scale, haunted attractions.

Earlier this month, he took a weeklong trip to St. Louis to see three top haunts: The Darkness, Lemp Brewery and Creepy World. Another trip was to Ulster Park, N.Y., home of the Headless Horseman.

Blanchard and his six-man crew began the build on Oct. 18, and they expect to have everything completely operational by Oct. 27. Not only are they set designers, technicians and stagehands, of sorts, but they are also participants in the show itself, dressing up and taking part in the scares. Three of the men, Pat Fay, Charlie Spiker and John Furlong, are retired police officers (two from Long Beach Township and one from Little Egg Harbor) who are happy to contribute their time and talent to the cause. Additional help comes from Brandon Jaekel, Nick Pinto and Al Blanchard, Chuck’s father.

“Everything is from scratch,” Blanchard said, standing in his yard amid the different project components in various stages of completion.

OK, but wait. When he says “from scratch,” he doesn’t mean he built that horse-drawn carriage hearse parked prominently on his lawn, does he?

He does, and he did.

And the disturbingly realisticlooking, fully articulated, bloody, skeletal coachman?

That, too. (Says he lucked out with a combination of red tissue paper and liquid latex that dried into a thick simulation of gore. He will also imbue him with a voice, and a terrifying tale to tell, and accentuate the show with special effects such as lighting, artificial fog and ominous music.)

And the wooden coff in that “comes to life” on a computerprogrammed sliding mechanism?

Engineered by hand in his very own basement.

“That’s my Rembrandt, right there,” Blanchard said of the carriage, coachman and coffin display.

The same impressive, homegrown sensibility applies to the detailed foam carvings, the custom musical tracks, the projector screen setup, the maniacal granny, the wandering undead, the creepy creatures lying in wait, the imprisoned psychopath, the laser vortex and

other sensory triggers.

As operations manager for an electrical testing company, Blanchard knows his way around a job site – so he draws on his own skills and resources and recruits friends and fellow craftsmen to pull together the know-how to build a miniature theme park from the ground up. As Fay pointed out, each new element they create presents challenges to overcome and puzzles to solve, which only adds to the fun and reward of pulling it off.

“We all lie in bed at night thinking of ideas,” Fay said.

The fun-loving, wisecracking guys are all willing “victims” of each other’s pranks throughout the building process as they try out different techniques to startle and scare.

“We are a bunch of little kids, really,” Blanchard said.

But their biggest fear, of course, having invested so much time and money in the project, is the thought of something going wrong.

“None of us are sleeping at night anymore,” he said, as anticipation builds toward the big day, and all eyes are on the weather forecast, and minds race over the details to ensure no eventuality (such as last year’s unexpected computer crash) is overlooked. Safety shares top priority with the scares.

The production will run Oct. 30 and 31, using Tuesday as a dress rehearsal. Admission is free. Less intense thrills and chills are available in the earlier hours for the younger

participants, but parental discretion is advised once darkness falls.

“One Step Beyond” is located at

was discovered to have affixed itself to a clam seedling in a bed otherwise populated by the clams that were planted in the bay.

“I don’t want to be so bold as to say this is repopulating Barnegat Bay – is it an enhancement? Sure,” said Flimlin when asked about the scope of the efforts so far. “But we’re seeing interesting stuff: in one of the upwellers, the one at St. Francis Center in Brant Beach, we are seeing oyster larvae coming in and setting in the nursery tank. They actually came into the tank and set on the clam seed that was in there.”

This year the total number of seed-

lings grown in the upwellers was closer to three quarters of a million than the usual 1 million, due to problems including an electrical outage and a pump malfunction, Bushnell said.

On the other hand, favorable weather and better management boosted the survival rate of those harvested last year to nearly 30 percent, up considerably from the first few years. In order to increase that number, the project has begun giving back 100,000 of the seedlings to the hatchery from which they were obtained, which has a better success rate in growing them before distributing them in the bay.

Growing awareness is as important

as growing clams, say those involved in ReClam the Bay. “As part of our education program, we have a speaker’s bureau. We go around to organizations, fishing clubs, senior citizen groups – all kind of people, and talk to them about what we do and what were trying to accomplish,” Dalzell noted.

“We also started a program called Shellfish in the Classroom. We go into classrooms and do lessons about water quality, on shellfish and how they’re good for the bay. And then we have a program where the students actually raise shellfish in tanks … This year there is a big expansion of that,

because we’ve had requests from 10 or 12 new schools that want to have our program.”

ReClam the Bay has many other updates to report, which can be found on the website reclamthebay. org, along with ways to get involved.

The phone number of the group’s headquarters, located at the office of Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Ocean County, is 732-349-1152.

When Bushnell prepares the upcoming annual report, he will build on a highlight of last summer, when Gov. Chris Christie during a visit to Brant Beach acknowledged Bushnell’s comment that “Barnegat Bay could and

should be both an ecologic success and an economic success.” The bay has the potential to become a hub for “responsible aquaculture,” Bushnell said, a statement that was echoed in a resolution authored by Surf City Borough Councilman Peter Hartney.

“ReClam the Bay’s overall goal is to change human behavior, to cause people to become stewards of the environment,” Bushnell told the SandPaper last week. “When people see that this estuary does produce a good crop, we could, in an environmentally responsible way, be using this resource.”

ESP and Mind Reading With Amore

Races in Congress Show Republicans In Lead, Say Polls P

olls conducted by the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey show that the incumbent Republicans in the two Congressional districts involving Southern Ocean County have substantial leads over their Democrat opponents.

In the 2nd District, which will include all of the area except Barnegat and half of Stafford Township come 2013, Frank LoBiondo is crushing Democrat Cassandra Shober, 55 to 35 percent, according to the poll released on Sept. 27. The college conducted the telephone poll with 624 likely voters. It has a margin of error of 4 percent.

LoBiondo had a very favorable or somewhat favorable rating with 63 percent of those polled. Another 19 percent had a somewhat or very unfavorable opinion of the veteran congressman. The remaining18 percent of those polled were unsure about him or were unfamiliar with him.

Shober’s biggest problem is name recognition. Some 56 percent of those polled were not sure what they thought of her or were unfamiliar with her.

“Congressman LoBiondo’s lead is expected, given his 18 years in Congress,” said Daniel J. Douglas, director of the William J. Hughes Center for Public Policy at Stockton College.

Meanwhile, in the 3rd District, which currently represents all of

New Officer Ready to Roll On HC Force

H

arvey Cedars has hired a new patrol officer, Tim Butler, to take the place of Krista Shields, who recently left the department for a position with the Mantua Police Department in Gloucester County. Shields was the first female officer when she joined the Harvey Cedars force three years ago.

“Mantua is closer to her home,” said Police Chief Thomas Preiser.

“She was commuting quite a distance, so it made more sense for her to work in Gloucester County.”

A Manahawkin resident, Butler, 24, had worked as a class II officer in Ship Bottom.

“Class II officers aren’t really different than any other officer,” Preiser said. “They can carry weapons and make arrests, but they can’t work a shift alone. There has to be another officer working with him.”

Preiser said the move benefits Butler because he will be able to put in more hours.

“In Ship Bottom, they get 40-hour work weeks during the summer, but get cut back a lot in the off-season,” he said. “We don’t cut back as much here. It is also standard procedure that when we hire a new officer, we start him out as a class II for a period before making him a full-fledged officer.” —E.E.

the communities in Southern Ocean County but which, after the new year, will only represent Barnegat and part of Stafford, Jon Runyan was holding a 49 to 39 percent lead over his opponent, Shelley Adler, as of Oct. 4, when the poll was released.

Some 614 likely voters were contacted in this poll, which also has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percent. This race has attracted some national attention – it is, for example, on the watch lists of both the Republican and Democratic parties – because Runyan is only a one-term incumbent and because Adler, as the widow of the man Runyan defeated to win his seat in Congress, has more name recognition that many first-time candidates.

“With 12 percent of voters undecided,” said Douglas, “candidate Adler still has an opportunity to close the lead on Runyan, though Runyan is clearly in a better position.”

The poll was released before Adler picked up the endorsement of the Philadelphia Inquirer and before the candidates met for their fi rst debate.

Fifty-one percent of those polled had a ver y or somewhat favorable opinion of Runyan, a former Philadelphia Eagles star. Twenty-six percent had a somewhat or very unfavorable opinion of him; 21 percent were unsure or unfamiliar with him.

Thirty-nine percent of those surveyed had a very or somewhat favorable opinion of Adler, while 26 percent had a somewhat or very unfavorable opinion of her, and 33 percent were unsure about her or unfamiliar with the candidate.

Polls can change, sometimes rapidly. When likely voters were asked about Runyan and Adler, they were also asked about President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney. Obama, surprisingly, had a 49 to 41 percent lead in a district considered to be Republican. That poll, though, was taken before the first presidential debate, an affair widely considered to have been a victory for the former Massachusetts governor.

Keep Halloween Safe For Trick-or-Treaters

W

ith Halloween just a week away, the Ocean County freeholders advise parents of children soon to be dressed up and on the hunt for candy to take some precautions to ensure an enjoyable holiday.

“Before they leave for trick-ortreat, check your child’s costume to make sure it’s safe,” said Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, liaison to the county Department of Consumer Affairs.

Costumes should be flame-resistant, and, ideally, made of light-colored material if kids will be trick-ortreating in the dark. Reflective tape can also be added to costumes and candy bags.

Vicari suggested that an adult

Magician Challenges Audience’s Minds Through Psychology and Observation

By KELLEY ANNE ESSINGER hen nearly 80 people showed up at the Stafford branch of the Ocean County Library in Manahawkin on Wednesday, Oct. 17, for “ESP and Mind Reading with Amore,” everyone seemed to be thinking the same thing: What the heck is going to happen here tonight? Although some participants came to the event hoping to experience the paranormal, including Barbara Broderick from Manahawkin, who said she was looking to team up with other people who are interested in the psychic world, others had attended the performance at the library the previous year and knew the magician possessed no such control.

“But the show is excellent, and he really boggles your mind,” declared Tom DeRosa of Manahawkin, who came out to witness the show for a second time.

James Lazzarini, a Long Islandbased magician who goes by the stage name “Amore,” has been performing “Phenomenon,” a show that combines the inf luence of magic with the power of psychology, for about 10 years. He has a college degree in psychology and holds a doctorate in clinical hypnotherapy; everything he performs during his acts is rooted in humanistic observations. Throughout the show, Lazzarini even continues to remind the audience that he certainly does not hold any supernatural powers.

“I don’t play on people’s emotions; that’s not in my character,” he alleged. “It’s really just education mixed with a bit of trickery, and the humor and jokes are just my personality. I use props to entertain specifically so people can relate to what I’m teaching them, because we all learn differently,” he explained.

Francine Everson, senior librarian of the Stafford branch, who coordinates the library’s adult programs, told The SandPaper that the world-renowned magician, who has performed his acts for “Live with Regis and Kathie Lee,” The Daily News and The United Cerebral Palsy Association, was able to name her best friend, whom he had never even met before.

“He’s so amazing; he just pulls truisms out the air. I mean, how could he know these things?” she emphasized.

Of course, Lazzarini said, these principles are based on 23-plus years of research.

“I’m always researching and revisiting psychology books. When I’m flipping through them, I realize there’s a routine written on every page,” he said.

During Wed nesday night’s interactive show, Lazzarini kept the audience on the edge of their seats by simply using the body’s five senses to help them discover the power of their own minds. He challenged the group’s cognitive ability by flashing the names of colors written in contrasting shades, and depicted audience members’ personality types by observing their handwriting. He could even tell who was being deceptive during a guessing game, based purely on body language.

Each act appeared more and more exploratory as Lazzarini confi rmed letters and words written on a piece of paper and even ascertained the color and suit of a playing card, all while blindfolded and with metal coins taped over his eyes (yes, he said it was a bit painful ripping the tape off his face).

Lazzarini even pulled out a Ouiji board, which he explained is

managed by a person’s ideomotor responses. He maintained what appeared to be a f loating table, supposedly with the help of the audience’s slew of happy thoughts, and even trusted an audience member to avoid driving a large, metal spike through the middle of the magician’s hand.

Though there wasn’t any paranormal activity present during the show, the crowd seemed hypnotized

by Lazzarini’s charismatic charm and mesmerizing stunts.

“I love performing because people are always having fun,” he said. “I am reading people from the moment they walk in the door, and they’re always at their best, smiling and getting into the moment,” he added.

accompany young trick-or-treaters, and that parents instruct older kids to trick-or-treat on well-lit streets in familiar neighborhoods; only approach houses with lights on outside; walk on sidewalks or grass, rather than the road; and carry flashlights.

In addition, he noted, “talk to your child about the dangers of eating their treats before they’re examined by an adult.”

The freeholder also asked that motorists pay special attention when

driving on Halloween, when many young ghosts and monsters are walking near roadways. According to federal statistics, the office of the freeholders pointed out, adolescents are four times more likely to be struck by a vehicle on Halloween than any other night of the year. “If children are out while you are driving, slow down and be extra-careful,” said Vicari.

Finally, the freeholders encourage parents to visit the Megan’s Law

Online Database – which can be accessed through the Ocean County Government site, at www.co.ocean. nj.us – to check if any convicted sex offenders live in the area where their children may plan to trick-or-treat.

“It’s important to know what dangers a child may encounter when they travel through a neighborhood,” Vicari remarked. “This only takes a few minutes and can make a big difference in keeping a child safe.”

EIGHT YEARS ON BOARD: Ralph Bayard was elected commissioner in 2004, and again in 2008.

CHALLENGER: Greg Kopenhaver is running for the LBT Board of Commissioners for the first time.

FISCAL RESPONSIBILTY: Dr. Joseph Lattanzi was sworn in as a commissioner last December.

LONGTIME ISLANDER: Mayor Joseph Mancini has led the commission since May 2008.

Four Vie for Seats on LBT Commission Three Winners Will Serve Four-Year Terms

C

andidates for the three Long Beach Township Board of Commissioners seats to be filled in the Nov. 6 general election include current Mayor Joseph Mancini, current Commissioners Ralph Bayard and Joseph Lattanzi, and challenger Greg Kopenhaver.

Ralph Bayard: “The People’s Choice – Again” “The primary reason I’m running is because with the state of the economy, I think the township is going to be challenged in the next few years,” said Bayard, “and my eight years of experience can benefit the municipality.”

Bayard, a resident of Brant Beach, was fi rst elected commissioner in May 2004. From 2004 until 2007, he was director of revenue and fi nance. He has served as director of public works, parks and property since 2007, and has administered the Public Works Department since 2008.

During his years in office, Bayard pointed out, he has facilitated, among other projects: the repaving of numerous roads and the replacement of nearly a dozen street end bulkheads; the creation of an aggressive stormwater management program; the expansion and improvement of facilities at Bayview Park in Brant Beach; the installation of $150,000 in energy conservation upgrades in town hall and the public works garage, all fi nanced by grants; and the development of a new recycling drop-off center at the public works garage.

He has also overseen the implementation of a five-year plan, begun in 2009, to upgrade water and sewer mains throughout the municipality. “I would like to see that through to completion,” said Bayard, as well as help to create a new plan for additional improvements to the infrastructure.

Bayard’s vision for the future of the township also includes installing bulkheading around the public works property to prevent erosion, building a salt dome to store road salt in the winter and street sweepings the rest of the year, and painting the water towers in Brant Beach and Holgate.

In addition, he wants to continue support for beach replenishment, explore even more shared services between towns, persist in seeking tax alternatives for school funding, expand the current recycling program in the township, and continue to emphasize open space planning.

Bayard, a resident of the township for 52 years – 18 year ’round – earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Rutgers University, and was in the military active

reserves. He retired after 35 years with BristolMyers Squibb.

Bayard is a member of the Brant Beach Homeowners Association, the township land use board and the Southern Regional School District Strategic Planning Council.

Greg Kopenhaver: “Your Partner for Our Future” Kopenhaver, of Brant Beach, is running for a spot on the township council for the fi rst time, and, as he underscores for voters, “I will be available.”

In addition, “I will always be proactive to get input from as many people as possible.”

To introduce himself to residents, Kopenhaver personally hand-delivered his campaign pamphlets to every home in the township.

“The response has been great. Everyone is very nice.”

Forty-three years ago, Kopenhaver and his wife, Trudy, spent their honeymoon at his father’s house on LBI, just a few blocks from where the couple now resides. The Kopenhavers have owned property on the Island since 1979. Their two children now also own homes in the township, and their son resides here year ’round with his wife and two children.

In 1988, Kopenhaver retired from the Philadelphia Police Department. He also has operated a successful contracting business for more than 30 years.

He is an active member of the Island community who has attended all Friday commission meetings in the township for the past five years. He was also on the township’s Shared Services Committee and has served on the Brant Beach Townwatch and the board of the Brant Beach Homeowners Association.

In his spare time, Kopenhaver fishes with his son on their boat, giving him “a true appreciation of the diversity of our local fisheries and wildlife as well as just how unique and special our island is to so many people.”

If elected, Kopenhaver wants to work with the other Island municipalities to consolidate and improve services, thus improving efficiency, increasing opportunities and reducing taxes. He would also like to work toward introducing the option to purchase a universal beach badge for access to all LBI beaches, as well as improve water quality, promote a business-friendly environment and amplify beautification efforts in the municipality.

“I am running for commissioner because I truly understand the importance of the Island in the lives of its residents and visitors. The memories that are made here last a lifetime.

I would like to make sure these traditions

continue while at the same time improving the experience for future generations.”

Dr. Joseph Lattanzi: “The RX for Professional Community Leadership.”

Lattanzi, a radiation oncologist who resides in Haven Beach, was sworn in as a township commissioner last December following Bill Knarre’s resignation from that role.

Since taking office, Lattanzi – who oversees revenue and fi nance – points out that he has effectively managed the budget to further reduce local taxes, promoted local businesses, continued to support the beach replenishment project, facilitated the shared-services initiative on LBI and helped increase the number of EMTcertified police officers in the municipality.

“The management and vision of the township continues to become more complex and difficult,” Lattanzi noted. “I am seeking to retain the office as I have a proven track record of management experience at the highest levels and an excellent working relationship with the mayor. These relationships are rooted in community service to LBI but extend to Trenton and Washington, D.C. It is these attributes that result in lower taxes, prosperous businesses and a greater return of our money from state and federal agencies.

“I would ask the voters to consider if they want to continue on this proven path of fiscal responsibility and prosperity or risk our future to well-meaning but inexperienced challengers. The ‘Joe Team’ is the right choice to retain the ‘LBI culture’ while ensuring our long-term success.”

Lattanzi is a graduate of Ursinus College in Collegeville, Pa. He received his medical degree from the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, and completed his radiation oncology residency at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia.

He and his wife, Dr. Kimberly Hogan, have two children, Jake and Olivia.

Currently, Lattanzi serves as chairman of the department of radiation oncology and is president of medical staff at Southern Ocean County Medical Center. Previously, he served as the treasurer and vice president of the SOMC staff.

He is also is on the board of trustees of Meridian Health System and a board member of the Southern Ocean County Foundation, the SOMC Lighthouse Society and Care to Be Aware Vascular Foundation.

In the community, Lattanzi takes part annually in the St. Francis Community Center Thanksgiving Program and supports the Southern Regional Wrestling Booster Club.

Joseph Mancini: “A Name You Can Trust.”

“Our township has been moving at an incredible clip these last four years,” said Mancini, a resident of Beach Haven Terrace.

“I think the existing team has really worked well together.

“What we have achieved has truly been remarkable. We have put sand on the beach, we have cut taxes, we have increased the number of EMT-certified police officers” and, he added, the township leads all Southern Ocean County municipalities in shared-services income. “And I’m working to increase that.”

He wants to continue the professionalism and harmony he sees within the municipality’s current government and emphasizes that “long-term planning is a must for Long Beach Township.”

Mancini, an Island resident for more than 58 years, was voted in as mayor in May 2008, and serves as director of public affairs and safety in the municipality.

He attended the Ethel A. Jacobsen School, the LBI Grade School and Southern Regional High School, and subsequently graduated from Villanova University. He is a licensed real estate broker, property casualty and health insurance broker and builder in New Jersey, and is president of both Mancini Realty Co. and Mancini Custom Homes.

Mancini, who believes that a township council member should have an extensive community service background in the local area, serves on the Meridian Hospitals Corp.

Board of Trustees and the Jersey Shore Partnership Foundation Board of Trustees, and as vice chairman of the Southern Ocean Medical Center Board of Trustees and chairman of the SOMC Emergency Department Capital Campaign. He is also an annual provider of college scholarships to LBI students, a former district chairman of the Boy Scouts of America and a past-president of the Beach Haven Exchange Club.

The mayor remarked, “I would ask the voters to support the incumbent commissioners” to take on the challenge of the next four years, in which he plans, for example, to continue to negotiate for funding from the federal government to save Barnegat Bay and the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge in Holgate, to persist with beach replenishment, to work to see the Causeway bridge project started, to continue budget cutting and tax reduction, and to help the business community.

LBI Tourism Is $1 Billion For Region

A

number now declares the value of tourism in the Long Beach Island region, and it starts with a “b” for “billion.” Spending in 2011 totaled $1.2 billion at hotels, restaurants, retail shops and other Southern Ocean County businesses.

The 2011 Tourism Economic Impact Study was performed by Rockport Analytics, an independent market research firm. The Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce ordered the study through the budget of its Long Beach Island Region Destination Marketing Organization.

“The goal of the study was to understand the full economic contribution resulting from visitation to the LBI region to county and the state,” said the chamber’s DMO director, Lori Pepenella.

Visitors (and summer residents dining and purchasing here) spent $459 million on lodging, $296 million on food and beverages, $259 million on shopping and $115 million on entertainment and recreation.

Another finding is that the region’s tourism accounts for 14 percent of all employment in Ocean County, or 20,300 jobs.

Eighty-three cents of each dollar spent in the area by LBI Region visitors is kept within Ocean County, the research further revealed.

An in-depth presentation of the study will be featured on Jan. 8 at the State of the Chamber summit held by the chamber at Sea Oaks Country Club in Little Egg Harbor Township.

Rockport Analytics representatives will be there to detail the information and the methods by which it was obtained.

“This provides a tool for people looking to open a business in the area, or for current businesses; for nonprofits that need to write grants; for small businesses that may need data for loans,” noted Pepenella in an interview with The SandPaper on Monday.

This is a new gauge of local tourism’s value to the area as well as to the county and state, Pepenella said.

“Usually what has been done is that the county provides us with an overall number for Ocean County, but we were never able to pinpoint what our region is doing. This really boils it down to the role that the LBI Region plays in supporting the county and state,” Pepenella said.

The project overview states that “if LBI Region tourism did not exist, each household in Ocean County would have to pay an additional $826 in state and local taxes in order to maintain current levels of tax receipts.” That figure refers to the $300 million total in taxes generated by region tourism in 2011.

Stafford Township plays a large part in “LBI Region” tourism, the study confirmed. “The study shows where the seasonal homes are, and the largest percentage is in Long Beach Township, but the second-largest number is actually in Stafford Township,” Pepenella said.

“It helps businesses on a lot of different levels,” she said. “If you’re

What Drives One To Climb Them All?

By MICHAEL MOLINARO hat drives man, woman, or child to climb each of the 11 lighthouses and walk through the two museums and two life-saving stations of New Jersey’s annual Lighthouse Challenge? Many visiting Old Barney in Barnegat Light and the Tuckerton Seaport answered that question this past weekend.

Like the ships once guided in the night by the light of these coastal edifices, something draws over a thousand people each year to take the trek and have their lighthouse passports stamped as proof that they were there. For some it is an obsession. They collect and hoard various models or ceramic lighthouse figurines, having been mesmerized by their architectural mystique. For others it is simply an exploration; a way to see parts of the Garden State they would most likely never see.

Even more simply, for some it is two days of fun in October with a friend or loved one. One thing is for sure: ideal weather conditions made it the perfect weekend to meet the challenge head on.

At noon on Saturday, just a few hours into the challenge, over 200 had already visited Old Barney, with at least 200 more en route from the north point of Sandy Hook, where many begin. A log reveals Zip codes showing interstate and international travelers stopping in from Canada, Ohio, Michigan, and Connecticut.

Two of these distant travelers included Wayne Ervin, 65, of Nashville, N.C. and Betty Louferrell, 64, of Wilson, N.C., who counted each of the 217 steps she had just traversed and added them to her tally sheet while taking in the view from atop Old Barney.

Ervin is one of those collectors who study the history and marvel at the level of preservation in N.J. compared to other states, and, of course, the design of each lighthouse he encounters along the way.

“Each one is so different,” said Ervin. “There are so many different styles of lighthouses that are not just a big pillar.”

This was the second trip for Ervin, who grew up by the ocean. He completed the challenge in 2003.

This was the first for Louferrell, his fiancé.

“We just wanted a challenge,” said Ervin. “I wanted to show her something different. And you get some exercise, too.”

“Just seeing the land, the lighthouses and the history that goes with them is worth it,” added Louferrell.

Lifelong friends Allison Dramis, 52, of Monmouth Junction and Collette Grocki, 52, of Helmetta grew up together in Jersey City. They were completing the Lighthouse Challenge first and foremost as an excuse

to head to the shore and see the view.

From the Barnegat Lighthouse observation deck, they stood transfixed as waves crashed into the rocks below and the fall foliage revealed splashes of color in the patches of maritime forest in the state park.

“I’d love to live on the shore – if they get their prices down!” joked Grocki.

Neither had heard of any ghost stories, but Dramis admitted, “Your legs scream from climbing the steps.”

For these two, it’s about the exploration, as the Lighthouse Challenge takes those who participate as far as the western border of the state to lighthouses along the Delaware River. “You really would be surprised at the lighthouses on the Delaware Bay side,” said Grocki, referencing Finn’s Point, which they were unable to climb last year due to rainfall making it too dangerous.

“I don’t even know there are towns back there,” Grocki said.

“Some of them are so bizarre. It’s worth it, though. You really see a lot of the state going that way, places we never would have gone before. And you meet a lot of people.”

For some, like the Mercury brothers Mitchel, 7, Maxsim, 5, and Mark, 8, of Burlington, who climbed Old Barney with family friend Keith Spencer, sheer joy comes simply from climbing to the top and shouting down to grandparents below. In their world, the tallest lighthouses, that being Absecon (in Atlantic City) and Barnegat Light remain favorites, with the Navesink Twin Lights a close third, purely for

its architectural inspiration.

Spencer, 43, claims he has completed the Lighthouse Challenge every year since its inception.

Maxsim was only two months old when he made his first summit in Barnegat Light.

Meanwhile in Tuckerton, a lesser-known beacon along the Challenge path sits on the edge of Route 9 at Tuckerton Seaport: a replica of the Tucker’s Island lighthouse that once covered the south end of LBI off the coast of Holgate before the sand bar island sank into the ocean from erosion in 1927.

“I like being up really tall,” said Abby Delucia, 10, of Beachwood, who was looking over the Seaport with her mother, Penny. “Did you know the Statue of Liberty was the first lighthouse to have electricity?”

Abby remarked. “I would never climb these without her,” she added, hugging her mom.

“It keeps us closer,” said Penny.

“It raises awareness. It’s just fun.”

“There’s a mystique to it,” said Paul Hart, the Seaport executive director, as he arranged a display of lighthouse replicas for sale outside.

“It’s reminiscent of a time past.

Some are cautionary tales; like this one is for erosion. There’s the isolation element of what it was like for the lighthouse keepers. Lighthouse people are like NASCAR people: they’re committed.”

The New Jersey Lighthouse Society initiated the Lighthouse Challenge 13 years ago. After doing it for 10 years, it became difficult for them to continue. A group was formed with representatives from each light-

house, calling themselves the N.J. Lighthouse Managers. Serena White represents Barnegat Light. She was seen stamping away at passports as visitors came through.

“It’s a special weekend,” said White. “People en route send pictures online. They make their own shirts. It’s intergenerational: you get grandparents and children. It’s an eco-tour, it hits all the tourism. It generates donations (for lighthouse preservation) in the off season, and is a huge economy boost throughout New Jersey.”

Completing the challenge earns one a chance at a gift basket valued at over $700 filled with books, coffee mugs, pictures, mugs, and other assorted items donated by support groups of all participating lighthouses.

Despite the scary time of year, throughout the day few knew of ghost stories involving the lighthouses. Few knew of the 40 to 50 shipwrecks per year that occurred in the Barnegat Shoals off Barnegat Light, and the 400 to 500 lives that were lost, many before Congress began a national life saving service for the Atlantic coast in the mid 19th century.

Perhaps they will hear some, though, upon attending the bonfire and Halloween storytelling taking place at Barnegat Lighthouse State Park on Saturday, Oct. 27, from 6:30 to 8 p.m.; or participating in any number of the ghoulish events occurring at Tuckerton Seaport on Oct. 25, 26 and 27 from 6 to 9 p.m. that includes, of course, a Haunted Lighthouse.

a theater or an organization looking to market yourself, or if Realtors are looking for tools to help rent storefronts, for instance.

“There is no illusion of what we are; we know we are a $1.2 billion industry. And I think that’s pretty

impressive.”

The $15,000 study was initiated in 2010 by the DMO on behalf of the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce. Funding for the study came from the budget of the DMO grant from the state. The 2011 Cham-

ber/DMO budget totaled $176,200.

This included promotional spending for an array of events, marketing literature and other expenses, as well as other operating costs for the DMO and the chamber Visitor Center in Ship Bottom.

Teamwork Helps Golden Rams Band Claim State Title Returning Home for ‘Sounds of the Shore’

T

he Southern Regional High School Golden Rams Marching Band makes a victorious homecoming on Oct. 27 at the high school’s Goldberger Memorial Field for the 21st annual “Sounds of the Shore” band competition, having recently blasted its way to winning the Tournament of Bands Group 3 South Jersey and New Jersey State championships.

The Cavalcade of Bands dominates the upcoming Saturday competition, which includes Southern and seven other bands from New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania. Tickets are $10 for adults and $7 for students and seniors. The judged show begins at 6 p.m., with the award-winning Golden Rams closing the show at 8:15 p.m.

This year’s show is titled “Outside the Box” and explores both literal and figurative meanings of the phrase. Nine eight-foot cubes are used throughout the show to help portray this concept.

The recent Tournament of Bands Championship is nothing new to the highly decorated Golden Rams, led by Class of 2002 graduate turned director Andrew Wright.

“It’s been cool to be on both sides of it, for sure. It’s been a lot of fun to go through it, as a student and as a staff member,” Wright said.

The band earned scores of 94.40 and 93.90 along with awards for High Music, High Visual, High Percussion, High Color Guard, and Best Drum Major.

“It’s a total team effort between the staff and the kids. I think that’s the biggest reason why it works so well,” said Wright. “We focus on creativity and being original.”

The Tournament of Bands is one of the largest competitive band organizations in the country. Founded in 1972 by the National Judges Association, Tournament has grown to over 400 active schools and organizations.

Tournament provides performance opportunities in field band, indoor guard, majorette, percussion and dance team as well as comprehensive festivals with instrumental and choral events. Currently, the Tournament of Bands is divided into 13 chapters that

encompass nine states.

Soon the Golden Rams will head to the Tournament of Bands Atlantic Coast Championship, which the Golden Rams have won in the past.

“Ultimately it’s six peoples’ opinion,” Wright said about the judges’ scores. “They give you a number (when to perform), and a lot of time it’s out of our control. We just do the best we can to put a quality product on the field. From a placement standpoint, that’s out of our control but from an excellence standpoint, the entire staff feels responsible for making that as high as possible.”

“Sounds of the Shore” is sponsored by the marching band and through donations. A large fundraiser that helps make such events happen is a gift auction that takes place Nov. 21 in the Southern Regional Middle School cafeteria, starting at 5:30 p.m.

Students Learn Dangers of Drinking Police Present Class at Southern Regional High School BEWARE: Long Beach Township police officer Butch Hartmann and Stafford Township police officer Chris Fritz worked with juniors and seniors at Southern Regional High School recently to ‘hammer home the dangers of drinking and driving, texting and driving, and distracted driving,’ said Hartmann. DUI goggles and a golf cart ride that simulated impaired driving helped convey the point to the students. Participants wearing DUI goggles try to navigate an obstacle course during the simulation.

Postseason Play Starting For Bengal Girls Volleyball

A

fter concluding the season with a loss at Wall Township on Monday, the Barnegat High School girls volleyball team, 12-10, is now getting ready for the opening round of the Shore Conference B-South division playoffs beginning Thursday, Oct. 25. The Bengals’ opponent has not yet been announced.

The semifinals and finals are scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 27.

“No matter how we do in the conference playoffs, we’re assured of qualifying for the state tournament because you have to have at least a .500 record,” said Karla Jennings, who has coached the team in all seven seasons since it was started. “But it would be nice to win the conference championship. We haven’t done that yet.”

Jennings said standout players

Three Charged in Seasonal Home Break-ins Barnegat Township authorities have charged three area residents with recent break-ins at two seasonal homes on Bayshore Drive. According to Lt. Keith Germain, the Oct. 15 arrests stemmed from a joint investigation with Waretown, where a summer home was also burglarized. The burglaries, which took place Sept. 15 and 18, resulted in $11,000 in jewelry and electronic equipment being stolen from one residence. Nothing was taken from the second home, as the suspects fled when an audible security system was activated.

Arrested and charged with burglary, theft and criminal mischief were Anthony Brito III, 19, of Forked River, and Richard Tieto Jr, 20, and Tyler Lecoque, 20, both of Waretown.

Brito and Tieto were remanded to the Ocean County Jail in Toms River on $20,000 bail each. Tieto was processed and released after posting bail.

Germain said Waretown police signed complaints against the three for the burglary in that community. —E.E.

on the squad include juniors Meg Nichols and Sara Ridgeway, who are outside and middle hitters, respectively, and sophomore setter Nikki Casertano.

“Meg is our best defensive player and Sara usually posts double digits in kills (spikes) per contest,” said Jennings.

Jennings said that while the team would be losing four seniors, defensive specialist Morgan Mitchell was the only one who saw regular action.

“I think we’re going to be real good next season,” said Jennings.

“The younger players have been developing.”

Jennings said that the squad is “probably the most athletic group that I’ve had.”

“They came into the season in great shape,” she said. “They trained really hard and had an amazing work ethic.”

However, Jennings said the team is learning that it takes more than physical talent to be a consistently winning team.

“They have to be able to perform under pressure,” said the coach.

“They need to develop more confidence in their abilities and not get down when they make mistakes.

Fortunately, we have a young team and they have a great future.”

Jennings added, “Considering we haven’t had a team very long, I’m very proud of these girls. Most of the schools we play against have had programs for a long time. We’ve come a long way since our fi rst season when the girls were just learning how to play the game.”

BANNER DAY: Beach Haven standout Josh Law (top) saw his way into the semi-final with partner and Jetty co-owner Cory Higgins, but that twosome ultimately lost to Randy Townsend (above), who took the 2012 Clam Jam title along with his surf partner, Royce Weber.

This Clam Jam Possibly the Best Yet, Thanks to Ideal Waves and Weather

By JON COEN arly autumn has become somewhat of a “festival season” on LBI. It’s a perfect time of year for these big events – ephemeral weather without the blazing heat or maniacal pace of the tourist season, plus a draw to bring post-Labor Day revenue to the Island.

And most of these events are pretty easy to plan around the amazing October weather. Of course, a muddy Chowderfest or harsh nor’easter for the 18 Mile Run is not ideal, but you can still have a successful event in anything short of a hurricane.

But the Jetty Clam Jam, which has become a locally favorite end to the festival season since its inception in 2007, has to watch the weather – as well as the swell, the wind, the tide and the sandbars – because without good waves, there is no contest.

E

Surf Community Rallies for Riders Jetty understands this and chooses the first weekend after the other aforementioned festivals, putting the event “on call” for the best weekend day of waves and weather. And if conditions fail to materialize, they just keep pushing it back.

On Saturday, Oct. 20, everything came together in a way it never has before for what most are calling the best contest yet. Royce Weber and Randy Townsend, both of Surf City, are the new Clam Jam champs.

Jeremy DeFillipis, one of Jetty’s co-owners, handles the marketing end of the company, which includes most of the Clam Jam prep. In the end, he makes the final decision on what day the event will run. Every

October he goes through the drama of pulling the proverbial trigger.

“Every year, I get all these calls and texts a week out asking me when I’m going to run it. But basically, I try not to think about it until three days before. I send out a few e-mails to people who are really tuned into the forecast,” said DeFilippis.

The last two years, every weekend in October had been a bust, forcing the event to run on chilly November days. And while these have had their own flannel-and-hotsoup character, the sunshine and warm offshore winds made Saturday a great day for all the families that came down to watch and participate.

In some cases, there were three generations on the beach.

“When there are solid waves, it’s fun for everyone involved from us to the surfers,” DeFilippis said. “It’s so hard to run an event on call, but it’s paid off six years in a row now.

o the debates are over. Now what are we going to do? Passionate arguments, skewed facts, zingers and binders – what more could you want?

I was really getting into that stuff, man. Actually, I wonder if it’s too late to petition for one more debate.

But this time, I would love to see the Commission on Presidential Debates change up the format a little. You know, keep it from getting stale.

How about doing a casual Friday debate? Maybe let the candidates show their true colors? Perhaps Barack might wear a Hawaiian shirt.

Mitt could don his old fraternity sweater.

And let’s get some moderators who would shake things up. I know people were up in arms about Candy Crowley’s performance, but those people are from Fox News. Anybody short of Joe McCarthy is skewed, in their opinion.

But hey, in the spirit of shaking things up, let Sean Hannity moderate one of these things. He could toss that Nerf football back and forth with the candidates when it’s their time to talk.

Then maybe someone could show him how to actually throw a spiral instead of that little chicken wing toss he does while he smugly tells us how right he is. How about he plays steady quarterback and Romney and Obama run pass patterns on the stage?

Just a thought.

Green Party candidate Jill Stein and her vice presidential running mate, Cheri Honkala, were arrested outside the debate at Hofstra for trying to make a point about the dominance of the two-party system.

Let them play defense. They’ll probably lay hits on Obama like Lawrence Taylor.

What’s it going to take to get some characters in there? Give me some Jesse Ventura. Or how about those guys that do “Car Talk” on NPR? Dave Chappelle would be amazing!

If you didn’t notice, this column wasn’t in The SandPaper last week.

We’re back to every other week now for the off-season. If you haven’t been following online, you can find Liquid Lines at thesandpaper.net under the “columns” menu. The web version is the same as the physical, but it allows us a little more room to run slideshows and web videos from time to time, so check it out.

That also means that when I recap the latest in oceanic movements, I’ll be going back two weeks at a time.

Frankly, I’m happy to reach back and relive all the stellar surf we’ve had the last few weeks.

Don’t get me wrong, September is a much-loved time. We had plenty of surf, and everything about that ninth month of the year tastes sweeter after our busy and crowded summers. But all too often we look to October to really deliver, especially where the surf is concerned, and that Wednesday, Oct. 10, swell is exactly why.

Early on, the forecasts seemed to point toward a southeast swell from winds that blew on Oct. 9, showing at about chest high with offshores.

What actually happened was the wind turned a little more easterly and even

blew north as the low passed over us.

Now if there’s one thing we’re used to on LBI, it’s when the forecast looks like lobster tails and the waves turn out to be a can of tuna. It’s not often that conditions change for the better, but that was certainly the case.

The earliest reports I heard that day were down on the South End, where a few of our jetties were producing rippable, shoulder-high waves.

It was reported from several surfers how fun the dawn patrol was, even without a full clean-up.

After a morning low tide, the swell got new energy and the wind went offshore, and I will say it was a reminder of how good LBI can get.

Instead of the 2- to 3-foot lines we were expecting, it was 2- to 3-foot overhead with juicy bowling lefts and a few against-the-grain rights. And I think pretty much any work being done on Long Beach Island ceased for the remainder of the afternoon.

“I didn’t even go to work today,” one working man told me. “When I’m on my death bed, am I going to say, ‘Man, I’m sure glad I fiberglassed that deck?’ No, but I’ll remember getting good lefts.”

That made my day … well, that and all the blue peaks that were ridden. The last few months have been marked with a lot of groundswell, which is bound to happen during tropical season. But groundswells are so often marred by closeouts and inconsistent sets. On that particular day, there were plenty of bombs to anyone who wanted to stroke in.

Of course, for the goofyfooters, it was a field day out there. But while it was a little harder to come out of the longer barrels for the regularfoots, I saw plenty of pits slayed backside as well by the likes of Tim Raimo, Shaun Casey, Nick Rossi and Peter George.

This was a quintessential wind swell. The sets came rolling in and jumped up. The drops were steep, but the wave picked you up and gave you that momentum going in, with light offshore winds. It was magic.

Unfortunately for some, the wind went southwest and blew things out in the middle of the afternoon. But there was another clean-up before dark, not the epicness of earlier, but a nice evening of waves.

And as wind swell does, it was gone the next morning. I mean totally gone!

That Thursday produced the tiniest little wave, and the surf pretty much lay down through the weekend. But October is a magic month where we can get anything from a south blow to a raging nor’easter or a hurricane groundswell, and we’ve had pretty much all of that in the past few weeks.

Hurricane season isn’t over by any means. Tropical Storm Rafael, the 17th named storm of 2012, packed a good deal of punch, kicking up surf on Oct. 16 to 18. And old Ralphy boy showed us the difference between groundswell and windswell here.

Tuesday had some clean peelers down at the South End, but it was largely a festival of unmakeable swell.

December Is End: Genuardi’s Closing Leaves Grocer Gap

BAG IT: The parent company, Safeway, was unable to find a buyer for the Barnegat store, resulting in its closing on Dec. 15.

F

or the second time in less than two years, a grocery supermarket will be closing in Barnegat Township. On Dec. 15, the Genuardi’s supermarket will be ceasing operations after its parent company, Safeway, was unable to find a buyer.

In the spring of 2011, the A&P at the Bayshore Plaza closed. In September 2012, a Big Lots franchise opened at the site.

Located on West Bay Avenue right before the Garden State Parkway north exit, Genuardi’s opened in November 1999; one year later, the chain was purchased by Safeway. Greg Ten Eyck, Safeway spokesman, said most of the 27 remaining Genuardi’s stores in New Jersey and Pennsylvania are being taken over by Giant Foodstores.

But he said the store in Barnegat, as well as one in Egg Harbor City, was put up for sale at the beginning of the year.

“We have been unsuccessful in finding a buyer, so those two stores are going to close,” said Ten Eyck. “Our goal was to have the sites taken over by another supermarket chain, but it has been tough during this economic climate we’re in, so it did not work out.”

He said the Barnegat store employes 66 people.

“This is sure going to be tough on people, losing their job right before the holidays,” said Township Committeeman Len Morano. “I think the Genuardi’s went downhill once Safeway took over. They really blew that store. It was very convenient, especially for many of people living west of the Garden State Parkway. Without a supermarket chain in our town, people will be going to Manahawkin or Waretown. Big Lots seems like a nice business, but it is more of a general discount store instead of a supermarket, like the A&P or Genuardi’s.”

Township Administrator David Breeden said he was “disappointed” by the store’s closing.

“While the township is very limited in its response to the closing of a private business, it is important for us to recognize the value of such a large commercial establishment and for the township to take necessary action in order to preserve jobs along with attracting another food business to

Barnegat. It is important to wherever possible to keep Barnegat dollars in Barnegat. The Genuardi’s is the anchor of the Barnegat Village Square Shopping Center, and it is essential for a new tenant to be found quickly so that the economic viability of the center is maintained.”

Lori Pepenella, destination marketing director for the Southern Ocean Chamber of Commerce, said because decisions to shut down supermarkets are being made on corporate and

“We definitely want to get people excited about the fall,” said Adrienne Cerefice, who owns and runs the business along with Daniel Hoch, a longtime landscaper in the area who branched out with the garden center earlier this year.

“Fall is a great time to plant trees,” Cerefice noted.

Besides stocking, as Hoch pointed out, “all your garden needs” – plants, flowers, trees, soil, mulch, fertilizer, planters and much more – on the site’s two acres, the center also now offers pumpkins, hay bales, corn stalks and Indian corn.

Genuardi’s roots go back to 1920 when Gaspare and Josephine Genuardi grew fruits and vegetables on a farm they owned near Norristown, Pia. When they retired, five of their sons

took over the business, which was known as the Genuardi Brothers. In 1954 they opened their first Genuardi’s supermarket in Norristown, which is the oldest of the remaining stores. At its zenith in the 1990s, the Genuardi’s chain numbered 39 supermarkets.

Stylish Cut, Manicured Nails For Breast Cancer Awareness

L

avish Salon, located in Beach Haven, is hosting a Cuts for a Cure event on Saturday, Oct. 27, in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Men and women of all ages are encouraged to stop in any time between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. that day for a haircut or manicure. Fifty percent of the cost will be donated to the American Cancer Society, a worldwide, communitybased organization that has been educating people about cancer and helping those affected by the disease cope with its detrimental affects for more than 40 years. Anyone who receives a haircut or manicure that day will be automatically entered for a chance to win a number of different basket giveaways.

Pink SO.CAP hair extensions made of 100 percent human hair are available for purchase for $10 each, throughout the entire month. All proceeds directly benefit the ACS. Apart from skin cancers, breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among American women, according to the ACS. Statistics show nearly 12 percent of women in the United States will suffer from invasive breast cancer at some point in their life, a startling fact many of Lavish Salon’s employees and clients are all too familiar with.

“Every day I meet a client who’s telling me a story of either themselves or someone else that they know that has survived or passed

away from breast cancer. It’s definitely something that so many people are affected by,” said Lavish Salon owner Brittany Romano. Cuts For a Cure “is a great cause because it will help raise money for those who are directly or indirectly affected by the disease,” she emphasized.

Josselyn Wolfe, 18, of Tuckerton, who has been working at Lavish Salon for the past three years as a hair assistant, suggested the parlor help raise money for the ACS after her mother passed away from stage four breast cancer in March. She said the volunteer organization was extremely helpful throughout the entire process and even paid for her mother’s cremation.

“My mom tried to get the best treatment she could, but she battled with breast cancer for three years, and she didn’t make it. So I thought it would be a good thing to raise awareness and help other people because it’s such a growing disease. It’s sort of a mental satisfaction for me, in honor of my mom,” said Wolfe.

Snacks and refreshments, including pink lemonade and a variety of pink-colored desserts, will be offered during the event. A 20-percent-off, pink tag sale will apply to a number of selected, quality hair care products from shampoos and conditioners to gels and pomades.

nd a huge bugger of a hole it was – and cosmically sudden. I, for one, had never seen the likes and was tickled pink – whatever the hell that means nowadays. (Wink/ wink, nod/nod. Say no more.)

One minute we had our usual piece of inlet fishing beach beneath our feet, when, in a rapidly expanding eddy of outgoing tidal water, we were scrambling to safely distance our buggies – and bodies – from what can best be described as a swiftly advancing circle of collapsing sand accompanied by a massive vortex of outgoing bay water.

I instantly dubbed it the Holgate Hellhole, in honor of the Halloween season. At the vortex’s apex, it looked fully capable of loosing demons long trapped deep within the Holgate sand.

Had a beach buggy remained where we had first parked to fish that day, it quickly would have become little more than a truly odd insurance claim.

“Let me get this straight, Mr. Mann, you parked your red 2006 GMC truck on the beach, walked off to fish and when you turned around, what you’re calling ‘a hellhole’ opened up and sucked down your vehicle. Nary a spark plug nor an engine mount bolt now remains.”

“Uh, it sounded better when I explained it.”

And such a vehicle-eating scenario was utterly possible. The vortex’s expanding circle of cliff-like drops – 6 to 10 feet steep – ate 100 feet of beach in just 30 minutes. In fact, the crisscrossed tire tracks where we had been parked slid into the watery abyss.

As the gaping mouth of the hellhole widened, the churning water within the crater quickly took on the form of a nearly perfectly rounded watery vortex. The foamy whirlpool grew wide enough to swallow up a couple Olympic-sized swimming pools – along with a few dozen water polo teams and who knows how many synchronized swimmers.

The circling water inside the planetary-grade whirlpool was flowing at a solid 5 knots. It got progressively uglier as sickly yellow suds soon fully covered the surface of the water within.

The eddying hole was so oddly ugly it became cool-ish. Huh? Gospel truth, I had this powerful urge to throw on a wetsuit, jump in and go a few rounds within one of nature’s weirdest spin cycles. Or, just maybe, was that a seductive Siren’s call from the demons within? Nah. I just thought it would be cool as all get-out.

As the hellhole progressed across the beach, it took on the overall shape of a fairly wellrounded crater. The only open area, along the south edge, essentially ushered in the rapidly outgoing current, keeping the vortex highly energized – and erosive.

As a goodly group of us stood around ogling over the natural oddity, the hole just kept outwardly eating the surrounding beach. As to where it might go, the sky was the limit – so to speak.

With dusk on the horizon, Forsythe Refuge authorities harbored justifiable fears that a buggyist driving the beach after dark might easily become a meal for the Holgate Hellhole. I oneupped that notion by morosely imagining half a dozen buggy rooftops slowly spinning in the vortex come morning.

There wasn’t much choice that day but to shut down the entire beachfront of the Holgate Wilderness Area.

Anticlimactically, the hole had vanished into itself by the next day. A semi-circular scar was all that remained.

And somewhere far below that scar were the demons, high-fiving and talking about what they had done in the outside world for that one night.

So, what are you gonna be this Halloween?

AFTERIMAGE: I grabbed a goodly load of still photos of the freakish Holgate Hellhole phenomenon. See “Oct. 17” blog at www.jaymanntoday.ning.com.

Based on accounts and photos of the Holgate earth incident, the smart folks at Stockton College came up with a theory that sure rocked my thinking. They suggested an earthquake in New England had “liquefied” the sand in Holgate, causing it to collapse in a sinkholeish fashion. While I nonverbally poured cold water on the earthquake scenario by self-asking why hundreds of other equally liquefied hellholes hadn’t concurrently formed between here and Lobsterland, I kinda got off on that wild-andwoolly earthquake notion. It was right up my always-open-for-business “How cool is that!?” alleyway. Fascinating if true – and fascinating anyway.

I could boringly note that a hellhole is just as inclined to form when: • we’ve had a long period of uneventful weather, during which the Holgate tip gains sands for weeks on end.

• a rapidly arriving onslaught of very large hurricane ground swells – out of the southeast – essentially drives ocean energy, via water, directly into the inlet and way up into Little

Egg Harbor.

• the prevailing astronomic conditions foster some of the highest tides of the year, further powering ocean water into the bay.

• a hard west wind kicks in, hellbent on driving all that gathered water clean out of the bay and, in doing so, eats the insides out of any sandy landmass that gets in its way.

AND! • an earthquake-based liquidification thing does, uh, whatever it does.

BUMP IN THE DAY: Speaking of earthly rocks and rolls, I was among the legions who felt either the earth move or the skies shake last Saturday morning. In Ship Bottom, I thought someone had tapped the front steps of my house with a vehicle – as had happened in the past a couple times. We won’t get into those stories right now.

Ever-vigilant Facebook lit up as folks social media-ed each other to compare notes on the wide-ranging thud.

The “earthquake” word was bandied about – but not by me. I've felt a goodly number of quakes and seismic shakes during my many days in Hawaii, California, Mexico and, more recently, NJ. Saturday’s rapid rattler was closer to a sonic boom thing. It was a window rocker more than a house shaker. It felt very much like a military weapons demolition – albeit way over there, someplace.

Government agencies would later issue statements fully discounting the earthquake angle.

No, a new sinkhole didn’t form in Holgate. At least I don’t think one did.

MOLA MOLA BAD NEWS: Hi, Jay. I read your article on the mola mola and have a sad follow up. I was sailing my Sunfish at the end of September and pulled over to Conklin Island in Barnegat to make a repair. I was thrilled and intrigued to see an ocean sunfish. Sadly, it was dead on the beach. I studied it for quite a while as these fish have always fascinated me. It was amazing to see the size and shape. Its long fins had been very beaten and were badly worn. Its mouth struck me as very small for such a large fish. I wish I could have seen it in its glory. I stopped back the next week and it was very decomposed and retained almost no features.

Hank N. Barnegat.

Thanks, Hank. Many folks had been wondering.

I had warned that an untimely end awaited a mola trapped in the bay. Nature can be such a bitch, though I sure wouldn't recommend saying that to her face – unless you've always wondered what it would be like to get slapped around by an F6 tornado. “Who’s the bitch now, buddy!?”

I had suspected the marooned mola had already been under the weather when it was swept into Barnegat Bay. Molas can be fairly mobile, especially for short survival spurts. Not that they’re speedsters. In nature, they have to be only fast enough to run down jellyfish and assorted gelatinous zooplankton. Admittedly, that speed bar is set kinda low on the mola mola front. Notice that “Wild Kingdom” seldom offers an episode featuring a mola stalking, then attacking, say, a comb jelly. “Mommy, can we change the channel?”

Even if a healthy mola were to get stranded in our bay, it's not likely it would find its way out before, say, the year 2050. What’s worse, the available food supply in the bay would be catastrophically inadequate – though an in-bay mola might think it had died and gone to gelatinous zooplankton heaven if it eased into a lagoon filled to the gills with bay nettle jellyfish.

Final mola thought: Dining on 98-percentwater jellyfish, how the heck do molas grow into the largest boned fish in the entire ocean? My guess is they’re secretly packing on the pounds by sneaking out at night for some serious carbs.

If Gary Larson (“The Far Side”) still did comics, I envision him showing a sea turtle throwing on a light switch in the middle of the night and there’s a mortified mola with a giant stack of pizza boxes in front of it.

thinking, i.e. change clam gobs frequently – if not sooner. He kept using and reusing that one halved piece for three casts and retrieves. Hey, it kept staying on the hook. By Joe’s own admission, the bait had likely given up the scent for that third charmed cast.

After its third stint in the surf, the firmholding clam was sucked in by a bass more than twice the size of the largest striper Joe had caught since first pursuing surfcasting a decade or so back. Not that he’s new to angling, having boat fished with his dad since he was a kid.

As for the hookup, it was a solid, no-denying hit, especially with Joe hand-holding the rod.

After an initial “hit hard,” the bass performed a short seaward run before rising up. It made a quick showing on the surface but not nearly enough to offer Joe a read on its true size. “I knew it was bigger, but that’s about all,” he said.

After diving back down, the cow striper then undertook one of those traditional parallel runs along the beach, in this case northward.

Joe countered by “walking” with the fish, to minimize the bow in the line. That mirroring went on for nearly 50 yards.

As Joe finally began gaining line on the quarry, he had bouts of sudden line slackness.

That’s always a sinking feeling. In retrospect, Joe couldn’t tell if the slackness was due to surging waves literally shoving the fish forward or if the bass was throwing in some escape runs toward the beach, another very common escape move used by bigger bass.

I’ll note right here that, per Joe, there was actually no chance the fish was going to spit the hook. It was deeply embedded, nearly unremovably, in that ridiculously tough skin on the side of a striper’s mouth. “All that could have happened was the line breaking,” he told me.

Still, there was no way of knowing that as the 10-minute fight moved into its final and spookiest phase – the trial of the pounding shorebreak.

And the waves would prove a challenge, mainly during the final grab portion of the landing.

“When it was in close enough, I went after it.

Reached for it – and missed,” said Joe, adding, “Then the undertow took it out.”

DU

STORY OF A 48-POUND CLASSIC BASS: I got to talk to Joe Joe Czapkowski today.

Real nice guy and understandably thrilled with his tourney-leading 48/10 striper – not only because of its length and girth but also because he caught it in utterly sloppy surf conditions, i.e. both the best conditions to fish for trophy bass and also the worst to haul one through the pounding surf and onto the beach.

For the record, Joe was a-beach in 20 mph ESE winds and contending with grinding surf, pushing 6 to 8 feet.

The winds and currents – south to north – were so bad that Joe had abandoned his usual two-rod surf-fishing modus. He opted for handholding a single, inherited (from father-in-law), 50-year-old, 12-foot rod. It was coupled with a Penn spinning reel holding fresh Berkley 20-pound-test mono line.

More essential data: He was using a #9 Gamakatsu hook, 8-ounce pyramid sinker, 80-pound test fluoro Seagur leader – 12 inches with a fishfinder setup.

And, as was widely announced, he really was using clam gobs when he hooked his one and only fish of the day. Of course, if you have to hook up with just one fish per day, a 48-pounder is atop that exclusive category.

But there is a bit of a story behind that clam choice. Joe had actually begun the wind-blown fishing session chucking bunker chunks. It soon became clear that the meat wasn’t holding up very well in the surf and suds. Mighta been a mushy batch. As the only option, he turned to a few extra-large surf clams, purchased from Bobbie’s Boat Rentals, BL. The size of the clams played a bit part in the hook-up saga. Joe opened one and decided it warranted being halved. His friends would later kid him about being so cheap that he was conserving bait. Not so, said Joe. An understated clam gob was actually more suited to staying on the hook in washing-machine conditions.

As for his switch to clam bait that day, it wasn’t simply the hooking convenience. Joe knew full well that roughed-up waters often have bass eating from the clam hatch.

Where things got hmmmm-ish was the way Joe drifted from traditional clam-chucking

Jay Mann

EAT ’EM UP: It’s hard to believe, but only a couple of hours earlier this watery whirlpool was a popular, high-and-dry fishing beach at the Island’s far south end. A series of natural phenomena – and an earthquake? – combined to create a ravenously hungry vortex that soon led to the closing of the Holgate Wilderness Area to all mobile anglers. The worry was over beach buggies coming upon the huge hole in the dark and finding themselves falling into the hole.

RE

embers of the Barnegat High School Fishing Club were among the many eco-minded individuals who participated in last Thursday’s Barnegat Bay Blitz, an effort spearheaded by the state Department of Environmental Protection and the New Jersey Clean Communities Council to bring together citizens, students, businesses and local governments to help clean up and foster a greater appreciation for the Barnegat Bay watershed.

“I’m very proud these students for participating in the coastal cleanup,” said club adviser Brett Taylor. “It gives them a sense of responsibility and ownership of our coastal ecosystem.”

With the help of DEP coordinator Lauren Kelso and two other members of the department, Taylor and the students picked up litter – plastic bottles, plastic bags, cans and more – at multiple locations adjacent to Barnegat Bay and the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge.

“It is very important that individuals take care of their environment,” Taylor noted, “as most of the litter ends up in our bays, estuaries and oceans, where we all fish, boat and enjoy the water.

“We plan on doing this event year after year,” he added.

According to nj.gov/dep/barnegatbay/ bbblitz.htm, during the past two Blitz events, in October 2011 and May 2012, “6,800 volunteers helped to clean up 3,201 bags of trash and recyclables, filled 40 dumpsters and Bagsters, and educated and engaged students from over 57 schools.”

Individuals, schools, community organizations and businesses can sign up to participate in future Blitzes by filling out the online volunteer pledge form at nj.gov/dep/ barnegatbay/pledge.htm. —J.K.-H.

Continued from Page 39 the swell on Wednesday.

“I drove back to the Island, and Ship Bottom was every bit of 8 to 10 foot on the face on Wednesday morning. But there weren’t even any corners. It was an astronomical high tide, so it was backwash and bouncy closeouts. Then I went down south and it was chest high."

A few surfers found mid-sized waves here and there, but nothing special.

Rafael was on a fast track away from our swell window, but was still pushing up some swell on Friday, when a heavy weather system approached the East Coast. Thursday night was one of those storms that send the deck furniture crashing into the railing, and Friday continued to be a maelstrom. But at this point, the new south swell was mixing with the old Raphael swell, and the results would prove to be magical.

The Jetty Clam Jam was called “on” for Saturday. This wasn’t just the best waves for an event, it may have been the swell of the year. By the afternoon, there were mountainous peaks rolling into Harvey Cedars and detonating on the sandbar. And with 96 competitors surfing or watching the action in Cedars, the rest of the Island was relatively empty. I heard reports of roping waves with no one out in Ship Bottom.

The usually high-profile spots in Surf City offered plenty of empty waves. And there were six surfers trading great waves at Holyoke. It was a day for the books.

Once again, the Clam Jam was an excellent community event. I think people were pretty happy to have it on an ideal, 70-degree day. And it was awesome to be back in Harvey Cedars.

“It’s such an important piece of the community here,” Farias said. “Sometimes you get frustrated with the surf or people get bummed on the surf scene. But then you get a day like that and it reminds you of everything that is good about surfing LBI.” Sunday was again pulling in waves. It wasn’t the magnificent peaks of the day before, but it was still plenty of fun with some little barrels, offshore all day with perfect weather. In fact, when the Giants had their 1 p.m. kickoff, the beach was pretty much empty. If you were finding tiny tubes, fishing, getting a late-season swim or just hanging out, it was autumnal perfection.

As many of you know, the sandbar (for swimming, surfing, wading and other fun) at Harvey Cedars was pretty much ruined by an Army Corps of Engineers beach replenishment project in 2010, to the dismay of local surfers.

The Clam Jam had to move to Holgate the last two years. But Cedars has been making something of a comeback.

Several people kept an eye on Hudson Avenue last week to see what kind of sandbar we would have for the Clam Jam. It looked dismal.

Aside from a few bright spots in the summer and fall, it has been very hit or miss. No one could have predicted the world-class waves that showed up on Saturday. There is already talk that it may have been the best waves for a contest on the whole East Coast in 2012.

We spend a lot of time in Liquid Lines talking about these surf-killing projects that stand to protect the private, oceanfront property. And in most cases, Island elected officials have shown that they couldn’t give a damn about the

lost resource. But I have heard a few quotes from the mayor and Harvey Cedars Board of Commissioners that they were hoping the surf comes back. They were pretty proud to host the Clam Jam again.

There’s not much any town can do once the surf has been destroyed, but at least Cedars hasn’t treated those who bring it up as a nuisance. It was great to be back in that borough, and the whole Hudson Avenue/Sunset Park set up is a fantastic venue.

But more importantly, having Cedars as a surf option again is going to help spread out the crowds, the dangerous and frustrating conditions that occur when every surfer for 30 miles is on the same break. Here’s to opening things up this fall and more pitching lips. * * * On Saturday, Oct. 13, the 5 Gyres crew came cycling through LBI as part of the Last Straw Tour, to raise our awareness of what our societal addiction to plastics is doing to the ocean. I know most people don’t think slideshows about environmental oceanic voyages are any way to spend a Saturday night, but there was a group of concerned citizens there.

I got to spend some time with the crew over pizza after the presentation, and they were a very knowledgeable group, as well as very interested in our local area and ecosystems.

As you can imagine, they are for plastic-bag bans, something we’ve discussed a lot in Liqiuid Lines this year. If you’re one of those people who has yet to change over to canvas shopping bags but feel that bringing a giant ball of plastic totes to the “recycling” bin at your supermarket is doing your part, then think about this: Stiv Wilson, who has become very involved in bagban campaigns, told us that only about 4 percent of plastic bags ever actually get recycled. As he explains it, humans have taken plastic, which is very durable, and used it for disposable products for the last 50 years –- and we’re now facing the consequences of it.

It seems a foreign concept to get a bag ban on LBI; there aren’t any bans anywhere in New Jersey. But consider the “ultra progressive” places that have enacted bans, countries such as India and Haiti.

For anyone who decries a bag ban as an affront on their god-given rights to be wasteful, in terms of dealing with the plastic problem, we’re behind Haiti. Nice one …

In other news, the DVD “You Look Swell” arrived at The SandPaper office last week, much to our delight. A majority of this film by Rick Starick features LBI surfers playing home and away – such rippers as Connor Willem, Danny Mears, Randy Townsend, Peter George, Ben Raimo and Will Sweeney, as well as such international stars as Flynn Novak, Chris Del Moro, Zach Plopper and Keoni Jones. The film played at the New York Surf Film Festival in September and is available at Storenvy.com for $24.99.

There is one more contest for those of you who didn’t get enough at the Clam Jam. Following the Moto portion of Moto/Surf, which was held earlier this fall at the Sahara Sands Hare Scramble, the surf portion will be held this weekend at Holyoke Avenue in Beach Haven. If you are not a Moto rider, there will be alternate Men’s, Longboard and Women’s divisions this weekend as well. You can check Moto/Surf on Facebook for an update as to which day it is.

There is also a good chance we could see the Smith Optics Garden State Grudge Match happen up in Seaside Heights this week. Good luck to Randy Townsend, Conor Willem, Pat Emery and Royce Weber. Let’s show the locals some love this year.

Taking a look at the week ahead, it does appear the surf train could come steaming through again. The second half of the week will likely be as flat as Obama in that first debate, but the weekend might see some fireworks courtesy of Tropical Storm Sandy (formerly Tropical Depression 18) coming out of the Caribbean. And while these tropical swells have not been our best wavemakers, this one might stay close enough to the coast to act like more of a windswell. This time of year, we see these storms become hybrid systems. Think Wilma in 2005, Noel in 2007 and Ida in 2009. Earlier this week, there were some wild forecasts for 18-foot at 11 seconds or something crazy. That has already backed off.

Don’t expect to be chasing Mavericks in Surf City, but get ready for a few waves.

Clam Jam

Continued from Page 39 There are 96 guys surfing, plus the sponsors and judges. Everyone has jobs, families, weddings and all sorts of plans. I’m so thankful that there are people who clear those weekends.

“I don’t know what I would do if they couldn’t,” DeFilippis added. “It all reflects on why we started this. They’re not just amazing surfers – they are great people.”

It turned out to be a banner day, with a beach full of excited surfers, fans, kids and dogs. Pizza was provided by Speakeasy Pizzeria, and cold clams and oysters were served by Mud City Crab House and the Black Whale Bar and Restaurant.

Harvey Cedars has been one of New Jersey’s most cherished surf spots for decades. A popular summer break in the longboard era, it became a hot spot with shorter surfboards and performance surfing in the ’70s. The offshore bathymetry and shallow break make for strong, hollow waves with heavy lips.

However, the 2010 Army Corps of Engineers beach replenishment project basically killed the waves in Harvey Cedars, covering the magical sandbar. The borough has had its moments in the past two years, but good days have been rare. The 2010 and 2011 Clam Jams were held in Holgate.

Even with a mixed swell, there was considerable doubt. But when surfers arrived at 7 a.m., they were greeted by a 3- to 5-foot swell, with sets well overhead. The wind was light and the surf was mostly clean. But the real story was the power.

The wind came out of the southeast in the middle of the day. However, a westerly breeze kicked in for the afternoon, making for ideal offshore conditions. Multiple boards were broken outside the contest zone, but there were also countless tubes to be ridden. And spectators, who sat with their backs to the dunes right on top of the action thanks to the close sandbars, called it an “arena-like” atmosphere.

“Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better day,” Weber said. “We had great waves in Harvey Cedars with all of our friends around. It’s the whole local surf community out there supporting each other. It was just so much fun.”

Since the very first Clam Jam, the format has been two-man teams picked at random with one surfer 29 or younger, and one older surfer.

It not only brings the generations together, but also creates an equalizer. Random pairings keep the contest from becoming too competitive. This year, there were 96 surfers and a good number of waves for everyone.

“For everything to come together like that – great waves, a mixed swell, west/southwest winds and the tide not swamping the scaffolding like it would have a day earlier – the stars must have all been aligned. There were great barrels all day,” offered Townsend.

The teams are a story in themselves, such as Adam Frack and his father, Jesse Frack, who almost went head to head. Bill Willem of Surf City, a top competitor on LBI in the 1970s, was paired with his son Brendan. They surfed to the third round, where they fell to Bill’s other son, Conor, and Ryan Kelly of Barnegat Light.

Townsend and Weber, who have wrangled with each other at several professional events this

year, were odds-on favorites from the beginning, but such strong teams are the nature of the draw.

“There are some underground guys that totally stepped up,” DeFilippis said. “Chris Moscufo was ripping, John Bonner always surfs well, Brett Michallis, and Graham Mergenthaler.

Every year, we get a few new guys come out.

This year, we had Eric Perie, who grew up surfing Cedars in the ’80s. I had never heard of him and there he was, getting barrels.”

There were countless moments of excitement. Eighteen-year-old Kyle Calandra of Ship Bottom almost landed a kickflip on a closeout and, in the next round, found the barrel of the heat to propel him and his partner to the next round. Cory Higgins, another co-owner of Jetty, was partnered with Beach Haven’s best surfer, Josh Law. While Law generally carried them far into the event, it was Higgins’ six-point tube ride that got them into the semi-final.

“I never thought I would be surfing all day to the semifinal,” admitted Higgins. “I was just out there with this big grin on my face the whole time. And to beat my business partner in a heat was just perfect.”

Higgins and Law lost to Townsend and Weber in the semifinal. In the other semi, Conor Willem and Kelly beat Mergenthaler and Vinny Rossi.

Beach Haven’s Ric Anastasi managed a professional panel of judges, assuring that everyone was fairly scored. Beach marshals Bill Machotka and Randy Budd as well as tabulators Freddy Davis and Haley Johnson oversaw the smoothest event to date. A troop of volunteers all stepped up to keep things moving so that everyone got a chance to surf.

The final truly featured four of LBI’s best surfers. Jetty team rider and captain of the Harvey Cedars Beach Patrol, Townsend won the Clam Jam with his partner, Luke Reynolds, in 2009. He is LBI’s most successful surfer, but is now seeing a challenge from the likes of Conor Willem, a commercial clammer, whom Townsend mentored. Willem and Ryan Kelly, whose family owns Kelly’s Old Barney restaurant in Barnegat Light and was dangerous on his forehand all day, were not about to lie down.

With the sun making its descent, the waves took on a golden glow. While Weber went for a few air-reverses, the finals became a barrel-riding showdown between Willem and Townsend, where Townsend put up an 8.5 (of a possible 10) for a frontside tube and also landed a fantastic air reverse. He and Weber won, 20.5 to 18.5, and a few moments later were holding the coveted Clam Jam trophy, carved in 2007 by surfer Joel Dramis.

“I thought Royce surfed great,” said Townsend afterward. “We were partners by the luck of the draw, but I would be stoked to be partnered with anyone there. It's all family to me.”

The day concluded with an afterparty at Sunset Park in Harvey Cedars, where everyone listened to a live performance by Rob Armenti, enjoyed a buffet courtesy of Mud City Crab House and reminisced about epic waves.

The finalists’ names will go on a small plaque to be added to the trophy, which will sit at the Black Whale until next October, when it’s time again to start watching the forecasts and planning the event.

O

n Feb. 8, 1862, the men of the 9th New Jersey Volunteers, which included most of the enlistees from Ocean County, were bogged down in a swamp on Roanoke Island, N.C., under heavy Confederate fire.

They were far from home under the command of Gen. Ambrose Burnside as part of the strategy to blockade Southern ports and force the South to surrender.

Capt. Jonathan Townley Jr. of the 9th wrote, “Few cases of greater individual courage are recorded than that of Corporal Lorence, of Carpenter’s Landing. In the early part of the action at Roanoke, both of his legs were shot off just below the knees. As he was carried to the rear, his shattered limbs dangling in the bushes, he repeatedly said to the men passing on to the conflict, with all the energy he could command, ‘Go in, boys, go in; give it to them; I can’t do any more.’ He was taken to the Surgeon’s tent in the back-ground, where his limbs were amputated and dressed. At length, the shout of victory rang through the forest. The Corporal inquired, ‘Who has won?’ and upon being told that the rebels were running, raised himself on his stumps, swung his cap over his head, and, with an enthusiasm that thrilled every beholder, gave three cheers for the Union and the New Jersey Ninth! General Burnside being informed of the Corporal’s brave conduct visited him several times in the hospital, as did many other officers. Once when I was with him, as he lay suffering, he said that if his limbs would only heal, he would procure ‘a pair of wooden legs and fight on them.’”

What his comrades had done to win the victory was recorded by 24-year-old James Madison Drake, a lieutenant in the 9th, who watched as Lorence was carried to the rear.

“Still the Ninth stood fast, waist deep in water, firing with ardor, determined to maintain the reputation that had ever characterized ‘Jersey Blues.’ Under the inspiration gained from their intrepid commander, Adjutant Zabriskie and other officers, the men of the Ninth had already become veterans.

“Adjutant Zabriskie, who stood with his arms folded against that tree, corroborating this statement, the colonel ordered the firing to cease and an assault to be made upon the works.”

Drake was ordering his men to fix bayonets when “this movement was about to be put into execution, when horror of horrors, the regiment was fired upon from the rear, producing momentary confusion. Looking back in terror, and fearing that the Ninth itself had been flanked, Colonel Heckman saw that the volley had come from the Ninth New York regiment (Hawkins’ Zouaves.) Nor was this all – a second volley was poured into the Jerseymen, ere the New Yorkers could be brought to reason and a sense of the situation. This blunder on the part of the hotheaded New York regiment delayed the progress of the Ninth New Jersey, but did not prevent some of its members, from Companies D and I, being the first to reach and enter the works.”

A Connecticut captain watched.

“The Ninth New York broke up in utter confusion, rushed back down the road in a crowd, firing their muskets in every direction killing and wounding each other. The generals sprang in among them and I did the same, catching hold of their muskets, at the same time trying to stem the tide of confusion; no less than three muskets were fired while I had my hands on them to throw them up; fifteen of the Zouaves were killed and wounded by each other, and one of my own men had his gun shattered and his hand nearly shot away, so that he was disabled for life.”

A Massachusetts captain later wrote, “The Zouaves fell back, at least a portion of them did, upon the Twenty-fifth Massachusetts, which was on its feet in an instant, the men using the bayonet and the officers drawing swords, while, with

one breath the cry went up ‘No Bull Run here!’”

Company D was made up almost entirely of men from Ocean County, including 12 from Stafford Township alone. Col. Charles A. Heckman’s report of the battle read, “I ordered the regiment to charge, and in company with the Twenty-first Massachusetts volunteers we entered the battery.

“The officers of the regiment conducted themselves with courage and coolness, and I am perfectly satisfied with them. The ground was very swampy, and for the most time the men were up to their waists in water, though notwithstanding these discouraging circumstances they behaved themselves admirably.

“The regiment sustained the following losses: One officer killed, six enlisted men killed, thirty enlisted men wounded – total, thirty seven.”

But the men of the 9th soon learned there was a political side of war. The New York Times and others ran headlines crediting the victory to the New Yorkers of the Hawkins Zouves. New Jersey historian John D. Foster wrote shortly after the war in his book The Rebellion, “John S.C. Abbott, in a paper published in Harper’s Magazine, and Greeley, in his American Conflict, both give the credit of the operations here performed by the Ninth, to Hawkins’ Zouaves, who, in fact, as appears in this narrative, had no part whatever therein, except to annoy and embarrass the assailing column.”

As the world heard about New York’s glory, the Newark Advertiser reported on Feb. 10, “By an order of General Burnside, promulgated on the evening of February 10th, the Ninth Regiment are to have the words ‘Roanoke Island, February 8, 1862’ emblazoned on their banners. The only ordnance which could be brought to bear upon the enemy, owing to the deep morass which our troops traversed, and the almost impenetrable thickets, was a small rifledcannon, manned altogether by men detailed from the Ninth. Besides, the gunboat that did the most execution to the fort that was attacked on Friday, had her guns manned by Jerseymen. … One Jerseyman, who had been wounded by a bullet through the head, said it was not much, and walked alone back to the hospital tent, as he said, ‘to get something to keep the blood out of his eyes, when he would come back to his company.’ The poor fellow fell dead just as he got to the tent.”

On the 18th, the Advertiser proved who had really carried the day.

“The prisoners have acknowledged since that it was the fire of the Ninth New-Jersey that not only drove them from the battery, but scattered the reserve which was posted in the rear, to the number of twenty-five hundred men. The rebels have given the title of ‘Jersey muskrats’ to our boys, who waded waist-deep in mud and water within one hundred yards of their guns, and at this distance picked off their gunners.”

Even the Ocean Emblem of Toms River chimed in.

“From the special correspondence of the New York papers, it would appear that the Ninth New Jersey Regiment had but a small hand in the fight at Roanoke Island. It now turns out that this regiment was in the thickest of the engagement and lost more men than any other regiment engaged – more than three times that of the Hawkins Zouaves.

From letters before us we learn that the Ninth New Jersey landed in a marsh and marched through a corn field where the regiment halted and laid their arms in the mud with no shelter above them and a cold rain drenching them throughout the whole night. Soon after daylight the regiment was ordered to advance through an almost impenetrable thicket through the muck and water up to their middle, to a position where Continued on Page 49

Advertising guide to shore real estate... available free at local real estate agencies and media outlets throughout the Long Beach Island area.

Published by Jersey Shore Newsmagazines, to advertise call 494-5900.

Continued from Page 43 While such a grab and a miss has oft proven to be end times for a fish fight – fish 1, angler 0 – things got even worse for Joe as a large wave then crashed directly atop the fish. But instead of rolling the fish into deeper water, the powerful wave drove the fish right past Joe and rolled it higher up on the beach.

Essentially backtracking, Joe zeroed in on the sudsed-over fish and executed a solid striper grab. It wasn't until he hauled the fish up to surer sand that he finally got a gander at how large it was.

It was now time for a obligatory public display of the Classic catch, but the windblown beach was bare of other anglers. There were, however, a couple non-angling folks (the Van Ordens) heading onto the beach. And they knew a remarkable catch when they saw one. They quickly shot some photos and essentially served as witnesses to the catch, leaving a business card with Joe. Wanting even more catch confirmation, Joe called his wife, who was out biking at the time.

She rushed to the striper scene to snap off a load of shots, seen in this blog.

Continued from Page 14 in Stafford.

We’ve done this because we feel it is the duty for anyone seeking to represent their town to hear what is on the minds of their fellow residents. This election is not about the seven candidates personally. It’s about all of us who reside here. Neither I nor my fellow teammates look at this election as a prize to win, but rather a quest to keep this town in the hands of the people who live and pay taxes here only.

Personally, I have watched the new partisan process to elect a mayor and council in this town shift the focus away from the people of Stafford and fix it squarely on the politically connected, future political aspirations and ego.

I’ve watched some good people I once called friends turn into something unrecognizable to me. On one hand it’s disheartening, yet on the other hand it only strengthens my resolve to fight even harder for our town, either as an elected official or as a citizen.

Regardless of the outcome, my team and I feel blessed to live in Stafford. Being a part of the election process has afforded us the chance to meet so many we would have otherwise never had the opportunity to. This experience has left us feeling even more connected to our community than we did before.

We live among some great people and I merely want to express our gratitude for their graciousness and encouragement along the way. It’s humbling, to say the least.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and please remember to vote, for all of the elections in November. It’s not just our right; it’s a privilege that has been handed to us by anyone who has ever worn a uniform and said yes to defending the very principles our nation was founded on.

Never underestimate the power your voice carries.

Esther Libenschek Stafford Township

Thank You To the Editor: I would like to post a “thank you” to all the people of Stafford Township who came to help out during the auto accident by the Wawa and Stafford Diner on Sept. 30.

Continued from Page 47 they could outflank the enemy. The Ninth finally reached a position where they could pour their volleys into the fort, much to the surprise of the rebels who thought it was impossible for any body of men to advance through such a place, and from the deadly aim of the Jerseymen the rebels for the severest punishment yet received, and who after the battle dubbed them, ‘The Bloody Ninth.’”

Whether they were called the Jersey “muskrats” or the Bloody 9th, the story of this group of Jersey heroes has been overlooked for a long time … exactly 150 years too long.

Fish Story

49

For Joe, he'll now wait to see how well his 48-pound cow holds up. It’s sure to be a segment winner – and possibly more. However, Joe will be spending the greater part of the Classic’s remaining six weeks at his East Brunswick home. And he fully understands that his top-rung fish will be the target of all other surf fishing Classicists.
