ness Alexs Bait and Tackle, is a member of the chambers board of directors. Alexs Bait and Tackle has been in business for 10 years at its location along the Manasquan Inlet. Mr. Palizzolo has donated his time to the chamber and recreation committee, according to Ms. Vaccaro. Ms. Pecunia, a resident of Point Pleasant Beach whose home was partially flooded during Hurricane Sandy, formed Shore 2 Recover with Jamie Pawlowski as a way to give back to the community and the first responders who rushed to assist the ravaged Shore. Her inspiration was the tremendous outpouring of support and sense of community evoked by the storm. Ms. Pecunia has procured a group of highly qualified individuals willing to dedicate their time and resources to this end. Ms. Pecunia and the Shore 2 Recover team have assisted 582 families, four small businesses, six schools and a free summer camp for special needs children in just one years time. In addition to storm relief, Ms. Pecunia manages the Beanery in Point Pleasant Beach. She is also a proud mother of two and enjoys spending quality time with her family. Pastor Durante attended Calvary Chapel Bible College in southern California where he met his wife, Christina. After living in Maui, Hawaii, for one and one-half years, he moved back to the Calvary Chapel Bible College where he took a faculty and staff position. During that time, he and his To date, Sea & Green has donated more than $21,000 to SURF. Ocean Medical Centers journey began in the 1960s, when the community recognized the need for a hospital in Brick. Nearly 30 years later, Ocean Medical Center has grown into a tremendous health and wellness resource for the residents in Ocean and southern Monmouth counties. Ocean Medical Center also operates the states first Satellite Emergency Department in Point Pleasant, called the Ocean Care Center, which provides emergency services 24/7. Additionally located in Point Pleasant and affiliated with Ocean Medical Center is Meridian Life Fitness and Rehabilitation. The fitness center is focused on building the health and wellness status of the community through quality care, community education and outreach services. Regina Foley, vice president of operations at Ocean Medical Center, said she and her organization were very flattered by the honor. We think the world of the Point Pleasant Beach Chamber, she said. She said the chamber of commerce does a lot of great activities for residents in the local community, and that the Ocean Care Center and Meridian Life Fitness and Rehabilitation will continue to do their part to care for those same residents. Were really happy about the recognition, Ms. Foley said. Were glad we can continue to be here for the community. Kimberly Mollo covers Point Pleasant Beach for The Ocean Star.

wife had their only child, their daughter Zoe. In 2005, the family moved back to the Jersey Shore and in 2006 started a new church in Point Pleasant Beach called Jersey Shore Calvary Chapel where he still works as senior pastor. After Sandy, and with the outpouring of concern from other churches throughout the country and the overwhelming response of his own church, Pastor Durante established a disaster relief camp in his back yard. His experience in Bay St. Louis, Miss. after Hurricane Katrina and with the help of Calvary Relief they were able to help 120 homeowners in Point Pleasant and the northern Ocean County area. He and his church now have permanent property,
as they share space with the First Baptist Church of Point Pleasant on McLean Avenue. After joining the two churches together the ministry is thriving and continues to serve the community in any way opportunity permits. Ms. Biskaduros came to the Jersey Shore via her husband, Jason Turton, who grew up in Point Pleasant. Her desire to create in an environmentally conscious way began early as a child growing up in rural Massachusetts. Her creative desires and environmental education was solidified while attending the University of Vermont and graduating with a bachelors degree in environmental studies with a minor in art. She founded Sea & Green in 2006, first as an environ-
mental consultant for local businesses, then as a brick and mortar retailer in Point Pleasant Beach, where she still resides. Sea & Green features locally crafted artwork mostly made of reclaimed materials. After Sandy, Ms. Biskaduros collected pieces of discarded fencing and boardwalk, later creating heart ornaments that said Restore. In less than two months, she was able to raise more than $18,000 for Shores United Relief Foundation [SURF]. Inundated with orders, she turned to the local artists in the co-op and the local high schools wood shop. Soon after the Restore line expanded to include reclaimed boardwalk tables, a jewelry line and watercolor art.

Valentines Day boosts businesses

VALENTINE FROM PAGE ONE
lions share of the stores candy such as the chocolatecovered strawberries is freshly made each day, Ms. Blake said. Last week and this week were a big push to get everything ready for customers seeking to please their valentines, she said. The business sells about 100 pounds of strawberries for Valentines Day, and goes through hundreds of pounds of chocolate, Ms. Blake said. Sues Gift Box & Sweet Shoppe also offered 24 different varieties of chocolate-covered pretzels for customers, which Ms. Blake deemed her stores best-seller, in addition to the strawberries. Wednesday, yesterday and today saw the highest volume of sales, as most people do not come in for their candy very far in advance, Ms. Blake said. Customers could also create their own gift box or pick out a pre-made basket of treats.

LAVALLETTE The council, here, unanimously adopted an ordinance during its regular meeting on Monday night that repealed certain sections of borough code related to oceanfront construction. The reason for the repeal is to comply with regulations set forth by the Federal Emergency Management Agency [FEMA], according to borough administrator Chris Parlow. The sections of borough code this ordinance repeals had been on the books for many years but are now outdated, Mr. Parlow said during last Mondays council meeting. The ordinance repeals sections 44-1B, 44-1C and 44-1D of the borough code entitled Oceanfront Construction General Construction Requirements. Before this week, the code stated that no solid masonry
foundation shall be permitted in this area. It required all oceanfront properties to be built, constructed or placed on pilings. Pilings were meant to be braced east and west with three-by-eight-inch creosoted braces, and to be notched to receive two, three-bytwelve-inch creosoted beams with two, three-fourths-inch galvanized bolts with washers at each pile, among other specific construction requirements. Mr. Parlow said the boroughs current flood hazard ordinance dictates ocean-
front properties be built and constructed according to FEMA regulations. FEMA, he said, does not require all oceanfront properties to be built on pilings; therefore, the borough should no longer require it in its code. There are other alternatives available that are acceptable to FEMA, Mr. Parlow said regarding oceanfront construction. Mr. Parlow said some oceanfront property owners are currently aiming to use some alternatives to pilings, and have filled out applications with the borough.
The time has come that we need to repeal this, he said. The council voted unanimously in favor of the ordinance. Council President Anita Zalom was not present at the meeting. The next meeting of the Lavallette Borough Council is scheduled for the Monday, Feb. 24, council meeting at 7 p.m. in the first aid building, 1207 Bay Boulevard.

OCEAN COUNTY Ocean County Consumer Affairs officials warn residents who are not familiar with a telephone number that has called their cell phone not to rush to return it, because it could be part of a costly scam. Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as Chairman of Consumer Affairs, warns consumers of the newest deception called the one-ring phone scam that counts on a persons curiosity getting the better of them and returning a missed call, which is then redirected overseas at an exorbitant expense. Consumers may want to think twice about calling back a number they dont recognize, Freeholder Vicari warned. As in most phone-based scams, the perpetrators use auto-dialing computer programs to call phones all over the country. In this case, the scammers let the phone ring once and then hang up. This will cause a missed call notification to show on the victims cell phone. If the number is called back, the person is connected
to a paid adult entertainment service located overseas. Consumers that do make the return call are usually charged up front a $19.95 international call fee and then as much as $9 per minute or more for the service. Some scammers charge minimal fees to avoid suspicion, but those cases are few. The calls usually originate from outside the United States, and show area codes from 268, 809, 876, 284 and 473. Freeholder Vicari, along with Stephen Scaturro, Director of the Ocean County Department of Consumer Affairs, strongly suggests ignoring any missed or outof-state phone calls that are not recognized. He also suggests checking cell phone bills for any unwarranted charges. If your curiosity does get the best of you, and you have to know, Google the number first, Freeholder Vicari said. It might save you a hefty phone charge. Residents who believe they have been a victim of a scam or would like additional information should contact the Ocean County Department of
Consumer Affairs, located at 1027 Hooper Ave., Building 2, Toms River, or call the office at 732-929-2105.
Lavallette Post Office roof repaired

THE OCEAN STAR
The Lavallette Post Office is, once again, open in the borough, after being forced to close for several days due to a leaky roof. According to Ray V. Daiutolo Sr., spokesman for the U.S. Postal Service, the roof leak closed the boroughs post office for less than one week, and has been repaired. The office opened for business again on Monday. The Lavallette Post Office operations temporarily were relocated to the Normandy Beach Post Office during the repairs. Lavallette post office box and retail operations have resumed at the Lavallette location, 502 Grand Central Ave. Mail delivery was unaffected by this temporary change.

High school students invited to submit video contest entry

THE OCEAN STAR
OCEAN COUNTY In recognition of Black History Month, Optimum, in conjunction with the Smithsonian Channel, is sponsoring the Make Your Mark video contest for high school students. The contest provides an opportunity for students to reflect on how they can make a lasting mark by submitting a proposal and creating a video that documents their idea on how to incite positive change within their school and community. Students with the winning video will be awarded $2,500 for a school or community project. As part of the contest, students will view the Smithson-
ian Channel documentary Breath of Freedom that details the experiences of African-American GIs who helped rebuild Germany at the end of World War II and experienced equality for the first time overseas. Just as the soldiers featured in the documentary helped ignite the Civil Rights Movement, students can document their unique mark for positive change in their own video. The Make Your Mark contest is open to all high school students in Optimums footprint within the tri-state area. Students should record and submit a creative and informative video [two minutes maximum] that explains their mark, why it should be cho-
sen and how their school or community could benefit from the $2,500 award. They will then share this video [via Facebook or Twitter] with friends and family to earn votes for the project. Deadline for entries is Feb. 28. Optimum is delighted to partner with the Smithsonian Channel in sponsoring the Make Your Mark contest to celebrate Black History Month, Cablevision vice president of public affairs Jen Ostrager said. We are proud to provide students with an opportunity to make a positive change in their community and better understand the history that helped spark the Civil Rights Movement.

Applys for DCA grant, utilizing agency in place of code officials

BY BREANNE MCCARTHY
THE OCEAN STAR
MANTOLOKING At the Mantoloking Council meeting on Tuesday, Councilwoman Beth Nelson, chair of the public works committee, said the borough will be on the lookout for a new electrical subcode official as well as a new fire subcode official, as the two current part-timers have announced their resignations. Councilwoman Nelson said the resignation coming from the electrical subcode official, Eric Sudia, and the fire subcode official, Thomas Murray Jr., is because the two men found full-time jobs elsewhere. The problem is that these people are being offered fulltime jobs in the area, she said.
Councilwoman Nelson said the borough is currently receiving temporary assistance from the state Department of Community Affairs [DCA], however, the borough will need to find two new part-timers as soon as possible. The DCA is a state agency created to provide administrative guidance, financial support and technical assistant to local governments, business and individuals to improve the quality of life in New Jersey, according to its website, state.nj.us/dca. Mr. Sudias resignation was effective Jan. 24 and Mr. Murrays resignation will be effective March 1. Councilwoman Nelson said the borough is currently in discussion with other towns along the barrier island to see if it can create a shared services agreement for a new electrical subcode and fire subcode official. While were searching, were trying to join with other towns on the island who
dont need full-time people to be able to offer their package to them, she said. But in the mean time, the DCA will help us. Councilwoman Nelson said she has heard from several residents that the help from the DCA seems to be working well for now. On a similar note, during the meeting, Councilwoman Nelson also said the borough would be applying to obtain a zoning code enforcement grant from the DCA because of the increase in the amount of applications the zoning officer has had to complete since Superstorm Sandy hit the borough in November 2012. The grants assist in the boroughs recovery efforts by allowing the borough to extend the amount of hours of existing staff, the hiring of an additional technical and administrative staff member, the procurement of experts if needed for application hearing and, or, the payment for additional office space.
According the resolution for the grant application, the zoning code officer has seen a 10-percent increase in zoning applications filed since Nov. 1, 2012. In other meeting news, the borough renewed the contract of Paul V. Fernicola, of Paul V. Fernicola & Associates, LLC, who was hired last year as special counsel for the borough for the easement issue in town. He was re-appointed at a rate of $175 to $250 per hour. The borough has been actively seeking easements from property owners along the beach to ensure the Army Corps of Engineers can complete its beach replenishment project. The borough was also able to sell some items of surplus municipal property. One piece of equipment was a used 2008 Ford Crown Victoria Police Vehicle, which was sold as-is without warranties. Bids for the police vehicle were opened on Jan. 31. In all, four entities placed bids: Lib-
erty Motors, of Jersey City, which bid $2,218; Gani Abas, of Brooklyn, N.Y., who bid $888; Jersey One Auto Sales, Inc., of Jersey City, which bid $3,131; and Dan Dames, of Manasquan, who bid $2,200. The borough awarded the bid to Jersey One Auto Sales. Also out to bid was a Kawasaki All Terrain Vehicle intended for off-road use only. Two entities placed bids: Gani Abas, of Brooklyn, who bid $1,188; and Jersey One Auto Sales, Inc., of Jersey City, which bid $1,931. The borough awarded the bid to Jersey One Auto Sales. The borough also plans on going out to bid for more borough property in the future, including a used 2003 21-foot Parker Marine Patrol Boat, a 1983 Ford Truck Sweeper and a HP Design Jet Wide Format Color Printer.

Council meeting time changes

THE OCEAN STAR
At the Mantoloking Council meeting held this past Tuesday afternoon, Council members unanimously voted to move the regularly scheduled meeting time from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. in order to accommodate residents who work. The meeting change will go into effect immediately and the next meeting in March will begin at 5:30 p.m.
MANTOLOKING The Seaweeders Garden Club of Bay Head and Mantoloking held its meeting back at All Saints Church in Bay Head for the first time since Superstorm Sandy hit in October 2012. The theme of the meeting was Love & Friendship and 50 members were present. The hospitality committee prepared a luncheon and flower arrangements were designed by the artistic design committee, led by co-
chairs Mary McGeown and Peggy Morrissey. A wonderful program was presented by Chris Claus from Cattus Island County Park on Birds of Ocean County. A surprise appearance was made by the District VIII Director, Ellen M. Preissler, of Shrewsbury. She welcomed us back to All Saints Church and wished the Seaweeders good luck with its future endeavors. There was an announcement at the meeting by the Random Acts of Beauty chairperson, Sandy Stanton.
Awards for Random Acts of Beauty were given to four recipients. Random Acts of Beauty is a statewide program established by The Garden Club of New Jersey, Inc. with an award given to one individual a year. The Seaweeders, as part of their mission in Civic Beautification, seeks to recognize local businesses and homeowners in Bay Head and Mantoloking for beautifying their place of business or residence. This award is given out four times a year by the Seaweeders.
The most recent recipients were Doug and Betsy Nelson of Mantoloking for the fall; Kim Duncan of Bay Head and Arthur and Marilyn DAlessandro of Mantoloking for the winter/holiday season; and winter/holiday business to Peter Dorne and Celia DeHoff, who are architects in Bay Head. The Seaweeders of Bay Head and Mantoloking are looking forward to getting back to normal and restoring the public gardens, namely Twilight Lake Memorial Garden, Blue Star Memorial at Scow Ditch Park, in Bay Head and the Mantoloking Gardens.
Also, May Day, which is chaired by Sherry Urner and Diana Kitchen, is in the planning and will take place on May 1. Finally, the New Jersey Flower & Garden Show will take place from Feb. 13 to 16 at the Convention Center in Edison. The Horticulture Committee led by Linda Convey, Peggy Morrissey and Kris Stadler will be taking down entries to the show which have been propagated and grown by members and which hopefully will take some awards at the show.

Points Justin Macko promoted to police sergeant in Sea Girt

Sgt. Macko sworn in to new position during recent council meeting
BY CAREN CATERINA
THE OCEAN STAR
POINT PLEASANT Borough resident Justin Macko, who has served as a patrolman in Sea Girt for more than a decade, was met with a standing ovation during his promotion to sergeant during last Wednesday nights council meeting in Sea Girt. Family and friends of Sgt. Macko, as well as police officials from neighboring municipalities, were all in attendance to celebrate the officer who was sworn-in to his new position by Mayor Ken Farrell. Sgt. Mackos family, including his wife, Andrea, and daughter, Madison, 8, accompanied him. According to Sea Girt Mayor Farrell, Sgt. Macko was awarded the highest ranking of candidates who took part in the process for the promotion to sergeant. Sgt. Macko has been a member of the Sea Girt Police Department since 1999. Sea Girt Police Chief Kevin Davenport, who was recently sworn-in to his position as police chief, called the evening a special night. We are looking forward to his leadership abilities, Chief Davenport said. I wish him the best.
Last year, Chief Davenport became captain in May, and subsequently became the boroughs acting police chief on July 1, following the retirement of former Sea Girt police chief Robert Conway. Though there is no captain on the force at the moment, the chief said the police department was not looking to promote anyone to that position at this point. They were, however, looking to promote someone to sergeant, he said. In addition to Sgt. Macko, Chief Davenport is assisted by Lt. James Kremp and Sgt. John OConnor. Sgt. Macko thanked everyone in the local community for their overwhelming support, as well as Mayor Farrell and the council members for approving his promotion. Sgt. Macko also thanked Chief Davenport and his fellow colleagues at the Sea Girt Police Department. They really are a great group of guys, Sgt. Macko said, adding they make coming to work an enjoyable experience for him. Sgt. Macko also thanked his wife, daughter and parents for their belief in me. Sgt. Macko, who grew up in Wall and Spring Lake, currently resides in Point Pleasant. Sgt. Macko began his law enforcement career in Spring Lake as a Class I officer in 1998. He also worked in that capacity in the summers of 1999 and 2000.
He began working as a part-time police dispatcher in Sea Girt in 1999. Then, Sgt. Macko began working as a Class I officer in Sea Girt in the summer of 2001. Sgt. Macko attended the Ocean County Police Academy where he graduated in 2002. He later went back to take a full-time course at the academy. Sgt. Macko worked as a Class II special officer in Sea Girt from May 2002-2004. He was then hired as a full-time dispatcher in 2003, and hired as a patrolman in 2004. Sgt. Macko is a graduate of Christian Brothers Academy in Lincroft. He also attended Manhattan College where he majored in government before leaving to attend the police academy. Sgt. Macko is a 2013 graduate of Fairleigh Dickinson where he earned his bachelors degree in public administration. He is currently pursuing a masters degree in administrative science at his alma mater. Sgt. Macko will be earning a salary of about $113,000 in his position as sergeant. In addition to serving his community as a police officer, Sgt. Macko has also been active in the local community in many other ways. Sgt. Macko has served as a president of Policemens Benevolent Association
[PBA] Local 50, which represents nine different local police departments including Bradley Beach, Avon, Belmar, Neptune City, Lake Como, Spring Lake Heights, Spring Lake, Sea Girt and Brielle. Sgt. Macko appreciated all who attended last Wednesday nights event. It was overwhelming for SUEANNE GOSS THE COAST STAR me a very humbling expeSea Girt Police Departments Sgt.

These are difficult times across our nation, he said. It is so important to have programs and services in place to help those battling addictions, whether drugs or alcohol. Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Health Department, said last year, almost 900 Ocean County citizens received either inpatient or outpatient care for drug and alcohol addictions through programs administered by the county health department. Our health department has always been proactive

helping those who are battling addiction, but also working diligently to educate in order to prevent drug and alcohol abuse. he said. The department is helping make a difference every day. Freeholder Little said about $1.5 million was earmarked in county and state funds in 2013 to provide county residents with treatment at detox facilities and at both in-patient and outpatient programs. The health department provides the screening, including determining income eligibility, for citizens who may need to enter treatment programs. Both Freeholder Little and Vicari, former educators, recognized the health department for its active role in helping to educate and raise awareness regarding drug abuse and drug abuse prevention. This includes working with the Ocean County Opiate Task Force, promoting proper disposal of prescription drugs, designing school programs and participating in substance abuse forums. Getting information out to the public, to the schools, to our senior communities and letting them know the dangers that exist and that help is also available is an ongoing mission of the county Health Department, Freeholder Vicari said. In working in conjunction with law enforcement, faithbased organizations, municipal alliances and a host of other organizations, the county is making an all out effort to raise awareness that drug abuse is a growing problem.

members from the districts four schools, and 10 senior students will each be presented with $500 leadership awards. In the weeks leading up to the dinner, The Ocean Star has been recognizing each of the inductees. In this third article of the series, the focus is on Mr. McGarry. Mr. McGarry moved to Point Pleasant in 1970 and is a 1980 graduate of Point Pleasant Borough High School. As a Panther, Mr. McGarry was a four-year varsity letter winner in track. He was a two-time co-captain of the track team and was named the Most Valuable Player in his senior year. I was not the greatest student in high school. My best memories are surrounded by sports, he said. I ran track for four years and had a lot of success under Coach Al Saner. Coach Saner taught me a lot about discipline and how hard work pays off in everything in life. Mr. McGarry went on to advance his education with an associates degree at Ocean County College, and then earned his bachelor of science degree in marketing from Monmouth College [now Monmouth University] in 1984. He started as an intern with Northwestern Mutual headquartered in Milwaukee, Wis., as a senior and has been with the company for the last 29 years. In his career with Northwestern Mutual, Mr. McGarry has held positions as financial advisor, college unit director and field director, and has been managing director for the last 21 years. He has built his office to more than 35 staff and financial planning professionals
who deliver financial planning to businesses and individuals in the tri-state area. Mr. McGarry holds his Chartered Life Underwriter [CLU], Chartered Financial Consultant [ChFC] and Life Underwriter Training Council Fellow [LUTCF] designations. He is past president of the Ocean County National Association of Life Underwriters from 1994 to 1995. Mr. McGarry has also earned many other industry awards and recognitions over the past 29 years. Mr. McGarrys community involvement includes coaching baseball at many levels, including managing a travel baseball team Point Pirates for five years. He also coached Cal Ripken Little League and managed the 12-year-old Point Pleasant All-Star team to a state championship in 2007. The team went on to finish fourth in the northeast region out of more than 1,000 teams. Mr. McGarry said two of his proudest achievements are graduating from Point Pleasant High School and coaching. The thing that I felt was the most significant achievement since graduating from the borough, and the thing that gave me the most satisfaction, was my time coaching baseball for all of the boys when my son Kyle was age 9 to age 13, he said. These kids are still best of friends to this day, and the parents are also still great friends. Mr. McGarry was also the manager of the Point Pleasant All-Stars in 2007. That team brought a state championship back to the town. Our goal was to teach the kids the game and, at the

same time, allow them to have fun along the way, he said. Another goal was to keep them interested in the game so they would continue to play through middle school and through high school. I was thrilled to have 10 of our kids continue playing through high school. Mr. McGarry was on the board of several golf outings to raise money for the Special Olympics and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. He has also been involved in many other fundraising activities over the years. Most recently, Mr. McGarry has been the president of the Point Pleasant High School Athletic Boosters from 2009 through 2013. The Boosters raised more than $150,000 during that time, which benefited sports programs at the high school. During that period, he and many of the other volunteer parents worked very closely with the schools athletic director, the school administration, and the coaches at the school. Mr. McGarry looks at his time with the Boosters as a very rewarding experience. One of things that I really enjoyed over the years in Point Pleasant was serving four years as president of the Point Pleasant Athletic Boosters at the high school, he said. We raised a significant amount of money for the student athletes at the school with the help of many volunteer parents. Mr. McGarry said he is happy to be an inductee for this years Hall of Fame. I was very excited about even being nominated, he said. There are so many good people that have contributed so much to the Point Pleasant school system over the years, and it is very humbling to be elected into the Hall of Fame. Mr. McGarry lives in Point Pleasant with his wife, Charlotte, and their two children, Megan, 21, and Kyle, 19. Tickets for the HOF dinner are $60; for additional ticket information, contact Jim Dempsey at 732-233-7715. The cash-bar cocktail hour with hors doeuvres will begin at 6:30 p.m. and the evenings program will begin at 7:30 p.m.

Gift auction set to help raise funds for special needs prom
Funds needed for second annual prom, set for early May
BY BREANNE MCCARTHY
THE OCEAN STAR
POINT PLEASANT The Point Pleasant Elks will be sponsoring a gift auction fundraiser to help offset the costs for the annual Special Needs Prom, held for the Life Skills Program students at Point Pleasant Borough High School. This year, the prom is to be held at the Spring Lake Manor in early May. Anne Gearing, a special needs teacher at the high school, said the students look forward to the prom all year. This is a unique opportunity for the students to participate in and experience a prom just for them, she said. These students look forward to this experience year round and, as the event draws nearer, they discuss what to wear, learn dance steps in class, anticipate their first limo ride, and await dancing the night away. Ms. Gearing said last year, 10 special needs students participated in the prom and 35 other students from the Key Club volunteered their time to help out at the event. This year, she said she hopes there will be double the amount of students in attendance. This years theme is Tonights Gonna Be a Good Night by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and includes food, music and lots of dancing. In order to make the experience a success, special needs teachers including Ms. Gearing and Phyllis Thomson are turning to
the community to ask for support. Ms. Gearing said the teachers have received no money from the district to hold the prom and have made the night possible by holding car washes, utilizing school store funds and with the help of parents, friends, family and local business owners. She said the Point Pleasant Elks have been so supportive by donating the use of their building, workers and giving generous baskets, but the teachers still need help in raising funds form the prom. Anyone interested can help by participating in the gift auction fundraiser to be held at the Point Pleasant Elks Lodge by adopting a basket, donating items toward a basket or creating a basket of their own. Both we and the students would gladly appreciate any items you can donate, Ms. Gearing said. All proceeds will go to our students account so we can make the prom happen. Ms. Gearing said helping their students with special needs is her and Ms. Thomsons life work, and she hopes to make this years event as special as last years prom. We are two teachers that love our students and want the best for them always, she said. Giving them their own special prom to dance the night away is such a highlight of our lifes work. The gift auction will be held Friday, Feb. 28, at the Point Pleasant Elks located at 820 Arnold Ave. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with a cash bar available to all guests 21 years or older. Those interested can bring their own dinner and snacks,
but enjoy dessert on the house. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased by contacting Ms. Thomson at 848-333-5767. Anyone wishing to donate should make all donations to either Ms. Gearing or Ms. Thomson no later than Wednesday, Feb 18. Call or email Ms. Gearing at 732-330-8058 or abkgearing@aol.com to discuss arrangements for picking up items, or with any questions or concerns. Those interested can also ship items to be included in the baskets to Ms. Gearing at 828 Lincoln Ave. in Pine Beach, 08741. Monetary donations can also be made to PPBOE Life Skills Program.

POINT PLEASANT
Councilwoman: Point Paws is not exactly meant for local stray cats
Point Paws is a trap, neuter & return program for feral cat populations
BY BREANNE MCCARTHY
THE OCEAN STAR
POINT PLEASANT At the Point Pleasant Council meeting held recently, Councilwoman Toni DePaola made a public service announcement in regards to the boroughs Trap, Neuter and Return [TNR] program conducted by Point Paws. Councilwoman DePaola said the TNR program is meant to focus on helping to neuter and control feral cat populations in town not in helping individual stray cats. Feral cats are domestic cats who have returned to the wild. Councilwoman DePaola, who is the liaison to the organization, said she wanted to make the clarification because Point Paws has been receiving many calls from people asking them to rescue a stray cat roaming around town. She said this is not what the program is meant for. Our trap, neuter, return program is designed when there are feral cat populations in any given area of
town that has a registered feral cat population and a registered caregiver who agrees to go and help trap the cats, have them neutered and return them back to the population in that designated colony, she said. The program is not meant to take care of any stray animals wondering around the borough. Councilwoman DePaola said she understands why people would want to help these cats, especially with extreme cold weather conditions recently, but said the organization cannot do this. Of course, we do what we can to help, but that is not the purpose of our trap, neuter and return program, she said. Patti Ascolese, director of Point Paws, said the all-volunteer organization does everything it can to help out local animals, and since the organization began three years ago, it has helped trap, neuter and release over 400 cats in the borough. She said because the organization is a nonprofit and all volunteer, it runs low on supplies and cannot physically take in every stray or abandoned animal. If we get cats we trap and theyre friendly or kittens we
take them in right away, socialize them and find them homes, she said. But we have a lot of people calling about strays or people trying to get us to take their pets when they no longer want them, and thats not what we do. Its hard because you want to help everyone and we would love to be able to do that if we had a bigger facility but theres only so much we can do,she added. Ms. Ascolese said Point Paws occasionally takes in stray animals and tries to help local shelters by placing courtesy posts on their own Facebook page as much as possible. She said right now, Point Paws is focusing on controlling feral cat populations in the borough and with getting cats and kittens, obtained through hoarding situations, adopted. Ms. Ascolese said it is very important for borough residents to help Point Paws to control the feral cat population, which is in the hundreds. She said residents often believe they will be fined by the town if they are feeding a feral cat population but this is not the case.
Ms. Ascolese said the whole point of the TNR program is to trap, treat and neuter the felines and release them back to the wild in the area where they were being cared for originally. She said the focus is to stop the population from growing, which is accomplished when cats pass through the TNR program. Once they are altered, the program continues when the are returned and the designated caregiver to that cat population continues to feed and care for those cats. Ms. Ascolese said people should not be scared to tell the borough they are caring for feral cats instead, they should make sure to contact the borough. Point Paws will then trap the cats in that specific population, vaccinate them, altar them, treat them for any diseases and return them back to the caregiver and their property. If theyre feeding feral cats, we get them on a list, fix them all, etc., she said. But they have to be willing to care for the cats when we release them thats the whole point of the trap, neuter, release program. Anyone who would like to become involved with Point

Special needs parent group to host workshop

Meeting on paperwork for families of special needs children
BY BREANNE MCCARTHY
THE OCEAN STAR
POINT PLEASANT The Special Education Parents Advisory Committee [SEPAC] will host a free workshop, presented by members of the executive committee on paperwork topics. According to group cofounder, Regina McAllen, the purpose of SEPAC is to provide opportunities for parents and community members to offer input to their district on critical issues relating to students disabilities. The group also promotes communication and programs within the community to encourage understanding, acceptance and inclusion of children with special needs as well as to provide informational forums to parents, edu-
cators, students and professionals. Mrs. McAllen spearheaded the group along with her husband, John, who is currently an Advanced Placement calculus and honors pre-calculus teacher at the high school. The McAllens began the group to share and grow from experiences theyve had with their son Lincoln, 10, who was diagnosed with autism, to help the students with special needs in the district. The free workshop is set for Thursday, Feb. 20 at 7 p.m. and will provide samples, suggestions and ideas on how to manage the overwhelming amount of paperwork involved for raising a child with special needs. In addition, from 6:30 to 7 p.m., the executive committee will be sponsoring a Para Appreciation event. Mrs. McAllen said the group would like to thank the hard working, para-profes-
sionals for all they do for special needs children in the area. All para-professionals in the Point Pleasant Borough school district are encouraged to attend, where they will receive a gift bag, delicious treats, chair massages and more. Following the hour long meeting, parents will have an opportunity to meet with other parents, share ideas and ask advice about topics that concern them. This is a great opportunity to take advantage of the wealth of knowledge available in our community, Mrs. McAllen said. Meetings are free of charge and open to anyone who is interested. Refreshments will be served and free childcare will also be provided by the Point Pleasant High School Ambassadors. Future meetings are:

POINT PLEASANT BEACH The annual Beers on the Boards Craft Beer Festival will make its third run this spring at Martells Tiki Bar on Saturday, March 22. The event is produced by the Point Pleasant Beach Chamber of Commerce and TotalBruMarketing /Beerheads.com. There will be an array of different beers showcased, along with food and beer pairings and an all-youcan-eat buffet. Once again, there will be two tasting sessions afternoon and evening. Advance purchase tickets cost $49 per person, with beer and food included. More than 30 breweries are expected to be in attendance. Guests will taste IPAs, porters, brown ales, stouts, wheat beers, rye beers, lambics, pilsners, bocks, doppelbocks, dubbels, tripels, saisons, bieres de mars, farmhouse beers, barrel-aged
beers, barleywines and ciders, just to name a few. Event organizers will be announcing the beer list as it grows. The event will once again be held inside and outside during the afternoon session and mainly inside for the evening. In March 2012, the inaugural Beers on the Boards Craft Beer Festival was held at Martells Tiki Bar. With more than 30 breweries pouring samples of their finest ale and lager and a beer-inspired buffet included in the ticket price, the event left guests hoping it would return. Beers on the Boards 2 was originally scheduled for Nov. 3, 2012, just after Hurricane Sandy hit. After much rebuilding, Martells was able to host the second-annual Beers on the Boards on Saturday, March 23, inside and outside on the brand new pier. The brewery list in 2013 included Ommegang, East Coast, Carton, Stone, Great Lakes, Stoudts, Cricket Hill, Brooklyn, Keegans, Sierra Nevada, Ace Cider, Shiner, Brooklyn, Blue Point, Flying Fish, Tuckahoe Brewing, Yards, Southampton, Czechvar, Smuttynose, Pyramid, Magic Hat, Kona, and Goose
Island, and more breweries are expected to serve up some tasty samples this year. Now, Martells will once again host the event, and Beers on the Boards 3 is slated for Saturday, March 22. A limited number of tickets will be sold for each session and, unless they sell out beforehand, will also be available for purchase at the door. Tickets at the door, if available, will cost $60 and will be cash only. Tickets include a tasting glass, 2-ounce pours from all breweries, a free buffet all day and entertainment to be announced. No one under 21 will be admitted and photo identification is required for entry. Designated drivers will also get to feast on the buffet all day, and will also receive a take-home gift and a chance to win a prize. Online ticket sales end Friday, March 21.

Local chef Introna serves up Super Bowl specialty

Introna named New York Giants Celebrity Chef for Super Bowl party
BY KIMBERLY MOLLO
THE OCEAN STAR
POINT PLEASANT BEACH Local chef and business owner Joe Leone Introna spent his Super Bowl Sunday serving up a very special antipasto to the New York Giants football team. Mr. Introna, who owns Joe Leones Italian Specialties in Point Pleasant Beach and Joe Leones Gastronomia in Sea Girt, was chosen late last year as the Giants Celebrity Chef.
He was first asked to participate in the New York Giants Celebrity Chef Series on Dec. 29, where he made a Met Life Stadium Antipasto to display in the Coaches Club during the Giants game. The Giants organization was so pleased with his Met Life Stadium display that they asked him to create another one for the Super Bowl party they were hosting in New York City on Jan. 31, according to Joe Leones spokesperson, Amanda Coletta. Again, Joe created a beautiful antipasto stadium for the party and he also featured his homemade fresh mozzarella,
roasted tomato petals and basil as an appetizer for the party, she said. Mr. Intronas antipasto stadium was then featured on The Artie Lange Show following the Giants Super Bowl Party. Mr. Inrona thanked Chris Bryant, Martin Daffner, Eden Martinez, Karen Valesquez, and Ms. Coletta for their help building the stadium. Joe Leones Italian Specialties is located at 510 Route 35 South, Point Pleasant Beach. Kimberly Mollo covers Point Pleasant Beach for The Ocean Star.

BIRTH CONTROL FOR MEN

For men who want to take on the responsibility for contraception in their relationships, there is the minor surgical procedure known as vasectomy. It is performed by the urologist with local anesthetic on an outpatient basis in about 30 minutes. It involves cutting and closing off the tubes (vas deferens) that deliver sperm from the testes. In the traditional procedure, the vas deferens is pulled through a one-centimeter incision in the scrotum, snipped, tied off or clipped, and placed back, after which the incision is sutured. In the no-scalpel vasectomy, a puncture incision is made with special forceps, allowing the vas deferens to be lifted out, cut, cauterized, and put back in place. The puncture incision does not require suturing. At our office we see patients requiring all types of urological procedures and testing including treatment of urinary incontinence, vasectomy, prostate care and general urology conditions. For expert treatment for your urological concern, phone 732223-7877 for our office located at 2401 Highway 35 (Orchard Park Medical Building), Manasquan or 732-206-9830 for the office at 525 Jack Martin Blvd., Suite 102, Brick. New patients are welcome. P.S. A vasectomy does not change sexual functioning and can be reversed, in many cases, if circumstances or a mans mindset changes.

Free meal program takes steps to reduce its carbon footprint

BY KIMBERLY MOLLO
THE OCEAN STAR
POINT PLEASANT BEACH A local program that provides free, hot meals to those in need has taken actions to reduce its carbon footprint making the program not only good for people, but for the planet, too. Marys Table has been serving meals every Thursday evening at Saint Mary's bythe-Sea Episcopal Church in Point Pleasant Beach since Nov. 1, 2012. Recently, program runners decided to take some environmentally-friendly steps to reduce waste associated with the program. Conscious of our environment and wanting to keep our atmosphere homey, we have taken action to reduce our footprint here on Earth, spokesperson Kathy Lyon said. Now, there are no meals served on paper or foam plates, Ms. Lyon said. The program also eliminated the use of plastic utensils, and nondisposable coffee mugs are used to serve hot beverages. When we realized we could not provide enough glasses to serve cold beverages, we looked for an environmentally safe alternative, she said. The search led the program to purchase takeout containers, soup containers and napkins, in addition to cups for cold beverages, that are all biodegradable and, or compostable. We are blessed to be supported by such dedicated vol-
unteers and generous donors, Ms. Lyon said. St. Marys By-the-Sea Episcopal Church plays host to Marys Table, serving free hot meals every Thursday night from 4 to 6 p.m. at its Point Pleasant Beach chapter, located on the corner of Bay and Atlantic avenues in the borough. The charity project was first launched last November. Since then, the church has been providing free food and a gathering place for local residents every Thursday night. The Rev. C. John Thompson-Quartey, pastor of St. Marys, proposed the idea to help feed the needy early last year and Marys Table has been in development ever since. St. Marys has four separate teams that take turns working on Thursdays to host Marys Table. Each team consists of a team leader who assigns each
person on the team a responsibility for the week. A bulk of the money that pays for the food of Marys Table comes from willing donors. The rest of the food comes from helpful local vendors that are willing to donate. For more information on Marys Table and to help donate or participate, visit its website, www.saintmarysbythesea.org, or contact the church by phone at 732-8929254. St. Marys By the Sea is a Christian church organization in Point Pleasant Beach. St. Marys by the Sea is an inclusive, flexible, multi-aged community of Christians. St. Marys holds a great number of charitable events each year from raffles to picnics. Marys Table is one of its many charitable endeavors.
POINT PLEASANT BEACH Members of the Point Pleasant Beach Council voted to appoint two new members to the zoning board of adjustment during last Tuesday nights council meeting. The board had two vacant seats, after members James Wolfersberger and Jason Shamy tendered their resignations. The council passed a resolution accepting the resignation of longtime board of adjustment member Mr. Wolfersberger during its Tuesday, Jan. 28, meeting, and accepted Mr. Shamys resignation at last Tuesdays meeting. Mr. Wolfersberger resigned due to personal reasons, while Mr. Shamy resigned in order to spend more time with his children and attend to other obligations, according to board secretary Karen Mills. The resignations left empty chairs for the mayor and council to fill but filling them did not go smoothly. In fact, following heated discussion on the dais, no replacement was selected for Mr. Wolfersberger on Jan. 28. Prior to the resignations, the board had been comprised of Mr. Wolfersberger, Jay Reynolds, Lee Kelly, Tom Spader, Steve Ardito, vice chairman Bill Reilly, and chairman Paul Struncius. Additionally, there were four alternate members Peter Renner, George Loder, Thomas Davis and Mr. Shamy, in that order. Alternate members often attend board meetings, and
have, in past years, filled seats left vacant by resigning members. Mayor Vincent Barrella had said he wanted to move Mr. Renner, the first alternate, up to the vacant seat to finish Mr. Wolfersbergers term, which expires on Dec. 31, 2015. Subsequently, Mr. Loder would become first alternate, and Mr. Davis, second, which would have left vacancies for the third and fourth alternates. Council President William Mayer said in the case of a resignation, appointments are made by members of council, not the mayor. Mayor Barrella said in the past, it was done by the mayor in the way he had described. During the Jan. 28 meeting, Councilman Mayer said he and members of council would like to appoint someone, but no members of council moved to nominate anyone for the seat during the meeting. At last Tuesdays meeting, Councilman Thomas Vogel moved to appoint resident John Dixon to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Wolfersberger as a member of the board of adjustment. He and Councilman Mayer, along with council members Stephen Reid, Andy Cortes and Thomas Toohey, voted in favor of the appointment, while Councilman Bret Gordon voted against it. This is not against [former] councilman Dixon, but rather the precedent of appointing people at large to full-time positions when you have qualified alternates that should be appointed, Councilman Gordon said. Mayor Barrella said he did not agree with the way the council majority was proceeding meaning the appointment of two newcomers to the board, as opposed
to moving alternates up to full members. To do this to the people of Point Pleasant Beach while were in the middle of [Hurricane] Sandy recovery, and to do this to the members of the board of adjustment all members of the board of adjustment, who have been working their tails off for the taxpayers and residents of Point Pleasant Beach is an offense, the mayor said. Councilman Mayer said the two appointments brings the board of adjustment back to its full strength. He said this way, all the other alternate members positions would not be disturbed by the vacancies. If you move Mr. Renner up [from alternate to full member], you end up distorting all the terms, Councilman Mayer said. Councilman Vogel said he has prior experience with Mr. Dixon when both men had sat on council together, and felt he would make a good addition to the board. The council also appointed resident Stephen Ferguson to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Shamy as an alternate board member. The council voted unanimously in favor of his appointment. The mayor said he would not have objected to Mr. Dixon nor Mr. Ferguson being appointed to alternate member positions, if the full member seat were filled by someone with prior board experience. The borough will meet again next Tuesday, Feb. 18, at 7:30 p.m. in borough hall. Kimberly Mollo covers Point Pleasant Beach for The Ocean Star.

St. Marys auction set for next week

Annual gift auction will benefit church to help it continue to serve others
THE OCEAN STAR
On Saturday, Feb. 22, Saint Marys by-the-Sea Episcopal Church will be holding its eighth annual Gift Auction. Saint Marys Church has been a presence in the area since the late 1800s and runs many service and community outreach programs. Saint Gregorys Pantry, an ecumenical emergency food pantry based at Saint Marys, distributes food to those in need, provides holiday meals, toys at Christmas and baskets at Easter. After Hurricane Sandy, Saint Marys provided community support by acting as both a Red Cross and Federl Emergency Management Agency [FEMA] distribution center, providing aid and support in various ways. Days after the storm, the church launched its newest outreach ministry, Marys Table, providing thousands of hot meals at Saint Marys and delivering them to those who could not get to the church. Marys Table continued to provide hot meals to those displaced by Sandy living in local hotels for over seven months, and continues to provide meals and fellowship for those in need on a weekly basis. Gift auction proceeds help us continue our efforts to help others through our outreach programs, according to The Rev. C. John Thompson-Quartey. SAINT MARYS BY-THE-SEA OUTREACH PROGRAMS St. Gregorys Pantry Housed in the church, the pantry is an ecumenical, community-based, nonprofit
emergency food bank serving the greater Point Pleasant area. The pantry is supported by 14 local churches and provides more than 2,000 persons with several days of emergency food annually. The pantry is open five mornings per week and is staffed by an ecumenical group of volunteers. The office, pantry and storage space, as well as utilities, are provided entirely by St. Marys. The pantry also distributes more than 250 family-sized holiday dinners each at Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas, along with Easter baskets, warm outerwear, and Christmas gifts at appropriate seasons. Interfaith Hospitality Network of Ocean County The Interfaith Hospitality Network of Ocean County, part of the national network Family Promise, provides families with temporary shelter in local churches until they can find housing. Four times a year, St. Marys offers one week of housing for the families currently in the program. The church provides supplies, funds, dinners and overnight supervision. Caregiver Volunteers of Central Jersey Caregivers mission is to help frail elderly, homebound or disabled persons to remain in their own homes. Trained volunteers help with driving to doctor appointments, grocery shopping and making check up phone calls. Saturday Soup Kitchen two groups of volunteers from St. Marys By-The-Sea have been involved with the Soup Kitchen at Trinity Church, Asbury Park, for over 19 years. They volunteer the second Saturday of each month from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., serving lunch to a growing number of guests of all ages.
Joan Valentine House The Joan Valentine House is a local residential care facility for adults challenged by mental illness. As neighbors, St. Marys welcomes residents of Valentine House to worship, attend Bible study, and partake of special suppers and celebrations. St. Marys hosts a summer cookout at Valentine House, and at Christmas, parishioners purchase gifts from the residents own wish lists. Friendship Dinners in the month of October, St. Marys takes its turn in hosting a Friendship Dinner at Harvey Memorial United Methodist Church for local persons in need of both a meal and the companionship. Members of St. Marys plan, shop, decorate, cook, serve, entertain, and clean up for this festive dinner for around 100 guests. These monthly dinners are held under the auspices of St. Gregorys Pantry. Seamens Church Institute the Seamens Church Institute of New York and New Jersey was created to advocate for the personal, professional, and spiritual will being of the over one million merchant mariners who enter the New York Harbor each year. St Marys supports the Seamens Church Institute through contributions of books, clothing and various
sundry items of use to the seamen who are served by the institute and by the ministrations of the Episcopal clergy who serve as chaplains at the port in Newark. HOW TO HELP People can help the church by donating products or services from an organization; by donating samples, promotional items, or small items the church can give away to all of the guests who come to the event [350 of each item is needed]; and by placing an advertisement in the auction program.

Come June 22, youth from St. Marys by-the-Sea Church, Point Pleasant Beach, and All Saints Church, Bay Head, will embark on a mission trip to Hellertown, Pa., located in Northampton County in the Lehigh Valley. The combined youth group will be hosted by St. Georges, a deconsecrated church in Hellertown serving as a disaster recovery site for the flood-prone Northeastern Pennsylvania area. Remarkably, the dates of the trip will coincide with the 42nd anniversary of the devastating Hurricane Agnes flood, which still ranks as one of the worst natural disasters in U.S. history. In addition, flooding resulting from Hurricane Irene in 2011 has left homes and public areas still in need of attention. Homeowners and businesses have struggled with the burden of debt that arose due to that flood. Mission work provides opportunities for youth to carry out the Christian responsibility of helping those in need. In 2007 and 2008, St. Marys youth served in Biloxi, Miss., after Hurricane Katrina. In 2009, they helped with re-
covery in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, after the 2008 Cedar River flood, which penetrated 10 square miles of the city and left over 18,000 residents displaced. Living at the Shore, the youth always reflected that their families and communities could be victims of a hurricane or flood, needing to recover and rebuild. In the wake of Superstorm Sandy, the youth assisted with organizing supplies and food coming into St. Gregorys Pantry. They took to the neighborhoods and helped homeowners in Point Pleasant Beach, Point Pleasant Borough, Brick, Lavallette and Mantoloking. Keeping the mission local last summer, St. Marys youth worked for a week in Ocean Grove. On Saturday, Feb. 15, St. Marys will be hosting an Agape Dinner in Farnsworth Hall commemorating of the Feast of St. Valentine. A gourmet, four-course dinner will be prepared by five-star Chef Rich Brecca, the owner of Shore Fresh Seafood. Proceeds from the dinner will help defray the cost of travel, food and purchasing supplies and materials for the mission work. For tickets and menu selections, please contact St. Marys parish office at 732892-9254.
POINT PLEASANT BEACH A local business recently lent a helping hand to one of its former employees in need, and her family, by hosting a benefit dinner and fashion show in her name, and raised over $12,000 from their efforts. Sunshine Daydream, located on Bay Avenue in Point Pleasant Beach, hosted a Fashion Show Benefit Dinner on Friday, Jan. 31. In conjunction with local nonprofit Shore 2 Recover, the business was able to raise thousands through the benefit event to help former employee, Caitlin Pirl, and her Point Pleasant Beach family. When Caitlin, now 25, was struck by a hit-and-run driver while walking home in Point Pleasant Beach five years ago, she and her familys lives changed forever. Caitlin, who had worked at Sunshine Daydream before the accident, is learning to cope with new challenges brought on by her injuries, some of which are permanent, while her family members support her. The family is faced with a heap of ongoing medical expenses, as well as costs associated with Hurricane Sandy, which flooded and severely damaged their home. As Shore 2 Recover volunteers help, the Pirls are building a new home. Sunshine Daydream coowner Amy Jones said Caitlin was one of Sunshine Daydreams first employees when she and Erin Galante opened the store in 2005. After hearing about what Shore 2 Recover was doing to help the family get back on its feet after the hurricane, the Sunshine Daydream team wanted to get involved in its own way. In 2008, following Caitlins accident, the people at Sunshine Daydream organized a fundraising event for the family. Now, five years to the date of that first fundraiser,
the business hosted a second benefit at Jack Bakers Lobster Shanty, on Channel Drive, which donated the use of its Sunset Ballroom and all the food for the benefit. We are so appreciative to the Lobster Shanty for donating the venue and all of the food to us for the event, Ms. Jones said. We were stunned when they told us that they were also including the gratuities for the evening. They went above and beyond for the Pirls and we are so grateful to them for making the evening go so smoothly and for their generosity. The community and downtown businesses also contributed to the benefit by donating gift certificates and, or, baskets for the gift auction, or volunteering with the fashion show. The stores that were included in the Fashion Show are Sunshine Daydream, Sarahs Kiddles, Turquoise, Bree Anna, D.Monaco Designs, Lynnes Boutique, Stella e Luna, Lolas Boutique and Baja East. Also, All Points Printing & Graphics donated all of the printing for the event. It was a really relaxed evening and everyone enjoyed all of the wonderful gift baskets that were auctioned off, Ms. Jones said. The gift auction was really unbelievable there were so many wonderful items donated from all the local stores. One-hundred percent of event proceeds will go toward rebuilding the Pirl family home. Ms. Jones said the night was a big success, raising a total of $12,886 for the family. The benefit went extremely well, Ms. Jones said, adding that the event was nearly sold out. We are so grateful for such an extremely positive turnout, she said. The night went really smoothly and I think everyone really enjoyed themselves.

mentary School in the borough. It goes towards the prizes for the graduates and also helps fund the activities for the actual event, Ms. Kitchenman said. Its up in the air, the kids haven't voted for what they want at Project Graduation, but these funds will help make that a reality. Ms. Kitchenman, who has helped with fundraising events for the high schools class of 2010 and 2013, said all who qualify are welcome to participate, even students from other schools. To qualify, six-member teams must pre-register by filling out a consent form that will establish permission to participate in the tournaments as well as organize teams. Teams can register in four separate divisions. The elementary division is open for students in grades four through six, the middle school division allows students from grades seven and eight, the high school division will represent each high school grade level, and an adult division allows participants who are 18 years or older to compete against one another. Teams will only play other teams in their division. In years past, we have had some adult teams but the ma-
jority of our students are from fourth grade to eighth grade, Ms. Kitchenman said. The teams are usually formed ahead of time and they have to pre-register. Each team member is responsible for a $5 entry fee, totaling $30 per team. Spectators will also pay a small fee of $2 for students and $3 for adults. Registered teams are required to have a team name and wear the same color shirt. Entries will only be accepted if all six members have filled out and handed in the proper forms. All forms and payment should be returned to the Point Pleasant High School Main Office or to the G. Harold Antrim Elementary School Front Office. They can also be sent by mail to Point Pleasant Beach H.S., 700 Trenton Ave., Point Pleasant Beach 08742. The tournaments rules and regulations can be found on the registration forms and all interested participants are required to fully read and understand the terms of the game. Registration forms can be found by going to the Point Pleasant Beach High School website at www.ptbeach.com/beachhs and clicking the PPBHS Monthly Newsletter link under Headlines and Features.
POINT PLEASANT BEACH Parents at the G. Harold Antrim School are set to learn about the dangers of substance abuse in school communities through a special guest speaker program on Feb. 25. The program, called Steered Straight, recently ran a series of assemblies during Point Pleasant Beach High School health classes on Monday, Dec. 16. The program also visited children at G. Harold Antrim School last year, according to school counselor Darlene Kuzloski. The goal of the program is to reduce substance use by having age-appropriate discussions with children in schools. The presentations are 40 minutes long and focus on the danger of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Steered Straight, Inc., is a non-profit educational and prevention and intervention organization, committed to reaching children, teens and young adults with a message of reality about life choices and the importance of consequential thinking so that they understand there are consequences to their actions, according to the groups website, steeredstraight.org. According to the organizations website, There exists an ever-increasing need to reach the youth of our communities. With school violence, escalating use of drugs and alcohol by teens, accelerated recruitment into gangs, bullying and vandalism, and subsequent lifechanging consequences, children and young adults need a profound message delivered to them from experienced, identifiable and caring messengers. Steered Straight brings guest speakers some of whom are living examples of negative life choices to talk to children in schools. The group has different presentations for students in kindergarten to sec-
ond grade, third to fifth grade, sixth to eighth grade, and at the high school level. On Tuesday, Feb. 25, the speakers will address parents, this time, answering questions and discussing such issues with them. The question-and-answer forum and discussion is set for 7 p.m. in the G. Harold Antrim School auditorium. Ms. Kuzloski said the Steered Straight assemblies were successful in Antrim last year, and she received positive feedback from students about them. One student said to me, That was one of the best programs we've ever had, she said. Due to its success with students at the grammar school and this year at the high school, Ms. Kuzloski said Antrim will now host a program just for parents. Its really good information, she said, encouraging all parents to attend. Kimberly Mollo covers Point Pleasant Beach for The Ocean Star.

COURTESY OF TARA SGROI
Matt Gregg, 30, owns an oyster farm in Mantoloking. Mr. Gregg began selling his first batch of oysters five days before Hurricane Sandy. Since then, he has been rebuilding his business.
Due to Sandy, Mr. Gregg lost nearly all his oysters, his pontoon boat sustained damage and he lost gear, which included growout bags which house the oysters in the water, he said. At that point, Mr. Gregg said he was at a crossroads to figure out how to restart the business. I never really considered giving up, he said. creativity to the area. Since meeting, Ms. Schlossbach and Mr. Gregg have been working together. According to Ms. Schlossbach, Mr. Gregg will be a guest at a cooking class for the American Littoral Society in April. They are also embarking on making sea salt, which will begin in the spring. A portion of the proceeds from the sea salt project will go back to Mr. Gregg to help him as he rebuilds his business. MOVING FORWARD Its been testing at times, but Im steadfast on making it a big business and making it recognized locally, Mr. Gregg said. His primary target for selling oysters will be New York City, Philadelphia and New Jersey. When you eat oysters, you want them to be fresh. You want them to be alive, so when it comes down to it, we want to sell locally. We dont even want to sell outside the area and we dont need to, he said. Mr. Gregg said he looks forward to harvesting oysters in New York, which will begin this spring. He also hopes to acquire an oyster farm site near Northern Long Beach Island, which will allow Mr. Gregg to have three different oysters to present to restaurants. Oysters are just like wine in the fact that they take on the flavors of the region that theyre grown in, he said, which will be an advantage when he presents his oysters to restaurants. As for the Barnegat Bay oyster farm, he said the approximately 200,000 oysters will begin to reach market size in May. To learn more about Forty North Oyster Farms, visit its website at www.fortynorthoysters.com.
We started talking and it made sense, Mr. Gregg said. Mr. Cannon became a partner in the business. According to Mr. Cannon, he was doing research on the oyster business in New Jersey for his new restaurant Jockey Hollow Bar and Kitchen, which is set to open later this year in Morristown, when he stumbled upon Forty North Oyster Farms. The restaurant will have an STARTING OVER oyster/wine bar.

ed in 2011 to replace Mr. Riordan following his disastrous tenure as Borough Attorney in 2010. In 2011, the motion to replace Mr. Riordan with Mr. Gannon was made by former Councilman Sean Hennessy, a member of the same Republican Club as the current majority. Therefore, I could not help but smile upon reading Councilman Mayers statement that Im not embarrassed to be appointing Republicans, Im a Republican. The current Republican Club majority has repeatedly stated that my concerns about a return to 2010 are not well founded. However, the first thing they did was to go back to 2010 and appoint Mr. Riordan to be our Borough Attorney!

FREEHOLDERS, FOCUS ON ISSUE CLOSER TO HOME Leaving aside the fact that by 2017, the United States will overtake Saudi Arabia as the worlds leading producer of oil and that by 2030, the United States will be a net exporter of oil, all without oil produced from Canadian tar sands, perhaps it would make more sense for the Freeholders to take a stand on something closer to home rather than the Keystone Pipeline. The Freeholders do make a point that Ocean County is in large part a bedroom community and that a majority of workingage adults commute out of the county to their jobs. If the Freeholders really want to make commuting easier for a number of county residents, they need to take a vocal stand on the Mantoloking Choke Point. The Choke Point is part of a marked evacuation route and the lane closure has created traffic and public safety delays. Slated to last 18 days, the Choke Point is now 60 days old with no end in sight. Are the Freeholders really going to accept DOTs failure to manage the highway reconstruction contracts and the resulting traffic and public safety issues DOTs policies have caused? WILLIAM H. MCKINNON White Avenue, Lavallette
TO THE EDITOR
Councilman Mayer if he would have continued his statement about Bianca, by adding but her father lost the Brick Mayoral race, and John is the Republican Club President! They also appointed Steven Zabarsky to the position of Municipal Prosecutor. Mr. Zabarsky was replaced in 2013 because of complaints received from our Municipal Court administration and the Police Department. The problem he and his firm continually sent inexperienced associates to represent the town, a practice that did not change even after he was given a second chance in 2012. Thus, while we were paying for his services, we were not getting them. I dont know who the Republican Club majority spoke with about Mr. Zabarsky, but it was obviously not our Municipal Court administrator or Police Department. Could it be that the decision to bring Mr. Zabarsky back had less to do with the Sammy the Dog case, referenced by Councilman Toohey in last weeks article, and more to do with the fact that his law partner is Senator James Holzapfel [R, 10th Dist.]?

PROTECT ANIMALS IN COLD WEATHER During the polar vortex that sent temperatures tumbling throughout the country earlier this month, countless animals suffered and died because they were left outdoors. A pit bull who was chained to a tree in Texas froze to death, and in New York, a stray cat appeared to

have frozen mid-stride. With another round of frigid temperatures forecasted, its crucial to keep our animal companions indoors, where they will be warm and safe, and to look out for neighbors animals and strays. Left outdoors, animals can suffer from frostbite, hypothermia, and dehydration when water sources freeze. At minimum, animals who are forced to live outdoors need increased food rations and proper shelter a wooden doghouse elevated off the ground, stuffed with straw, and covered with a flap. If stray or feral animals visit your property, do everything you can to get them safe indoors [shelters will often loan out humane box traps]. Animals are no better equipped to survive bone-chilling temperatures than we are. If you see an animal deprived of adequate shelter, food, water, or other necessities, please notify authorities immediately. For more tips on protecting animals in cold weather, visit www.PETA.org.

Most people will agree with you if you will just keep quiet
Recapping the record

50 YEARS AGO The Point Pleasant Beach Council was planning on studying a proposal to rezone half a block near the business section for parking, an idea brought forth by the Central Business District Development Corp. The company wanted the borough to rezone for commercial parking the northern half of the block bounded by Arnold and River avenues, Grove Street and Woodland Road. 25 YEARS AGO After a two-year search, the board of trustees of All Saints Episcopal Church on Lake Avenue in Bay Head found a minister ready to meet the challenge of a church in transition, and able to meet the pastoral needs of the parish and the Harvardeducated minister could also coach baseball. The Rev. Edward B. Gammons said he likes the town of Bay Head, and the idea of living on the ocean. He and his wife, Gretchen, chose the ministry in Bay Head after 14 years at St. Andrews in Yardley, Pa. 10 YEARS AGO Local officials were furious to learn the budget President George W. Bush submitted to Congress for the 2005 fiscal year proposed no funding for beach renourishment projects. I think it is substantially flagrant and awful, Mantoloking Councilman Elbert Rusty Husted said. They are trying to ram this through in areas where they have no right to try to cancel things. They are just canceling out anything to save money. Also that year, a new group of teenagers asked the Point Pleasant Council for a skate park. Every few years, a new group would go before the council seeking a place to skateboard to favorable response, but little action. This latest group of teens told the council of the many positives that come with skateboarding, including continually challenging yourself to be the best you can be. FIVE YEARS AGO The Lavallette Council gave the goahead for two-hour parking restrictions in front of more than 20 businesses along Grand Central Avenue. Also that year, Point Pleasant Beach resident Candace Donoghue, 58, qualified for the Boston Marathon after completing the Aviation Marathon at Warner Robins Air Force Base in Robins, Ga. Her qualifying time was 4 hours, 15 minutes. ONE YEAR AGO TODAY Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno made an appearance at Jenkinsons Aquarium in Point Pleasant Beach to announce the launch of a marketing campaign named Show Your Love for the Jersey Shore. The campaign was meant to jumpstart the spring tourism season something that, just months prior, many thought would not be possible after the wreckage left behind by Hurricane Sandy.

BUSINESS PROFILE
Sailor Trading Co. offers vintage decor in a stylish setting by the sea
BY SHANNON CONNELLY
THE OCEAN STAR
A few blocks away from Manasquans downtown area, a vintage consignment store nestled along Sea Girt Avenue in Wall has already made a name for itself, grabbing the attention of buyers from as far away as Japan, in the less than three years since it opened. Sailor Trading Company, filled with furniture, home goods, jewelery and authentic coastal decor, recently opened a second location in Avon-by-theSea. The store offers unique vintage pieces at an affordable price, all through the beauty of consignment. Kerry McKiever, owner of Sailor Trading Company, has racked up thousands of consigners since opening her store on Memorial Day Weekend 2011. Because of this, between 200 and 500 new pieces come in to the store each week. Though they are all consignment pieces, Mrs. McKiever said she only accepts the highest quality items. Im very picky, she explained. I want a certain style of vintage, American goods, authentic nautical, antiques, and then hip, new companies, such as Restoration Hardware, ABC New York, Pottery Barn, etcetera she said. Sailor Trading Company also promotes local artistry, which Mrs. McKiever is very passionate about. The store is filled with that everyone from jewelers to potters and other mediums of art, she said. Sailor Trading Company is redecorated regularly by Mrs. McKiever. Though she does not have a professional background in design, her store is almost artwork in itself, with all of the vintage pieces arranged to complement one another in a way that makes the store feel inviting and unique. Her knack for decorat-
Kerry McKiever opened Sailor Trading Company on Sea Girt Avenue in Wall Township on Memorial Day Weekend 2011 and has since opened a second store in Avon-by-the-Sea.
ing, as well as her love for authentic nautical pieces, may be a credit to her upbringing. I grew up with driftwood lamps and ship hatch covered coffee tables and driftwood end tables. My roots have always been drawn by the sea, she said. My life revolves around the ocean, always has. All of the coastal, nautical decor comes from the real deal family friends and acquaintances, fisherman, surfers, sailors, she said. The location itself, which she called a step back in time is even part of history. The lot was once home to the original schoolhouse in the area. I want my children to preserve buildings like this. Its the closest commercial farm to the sea in our area, she said. Having always wanted to open her own store, Mrs. McKiever decided to start Sailor Trading Company after happily being a homemaker for many years. My daughter was going into kindergarten and I wanted, as a homemaker, to start my own business, she said. I had no idea what I was in for, she said. After originally planning to open the store only on weekends, she scrapped that idea when her entire inventory sold out seven weeks in a row. It was me gathering [items] from garage sales, estate sales, flea markets. It was me gathering the goods to resell, she said. Now, less than three years later, Sailor Trading Company has more than 2,000 consigners. When they have a piece, or pieces, they are interested in selling at the store, they contact Mrs. McKiever via email with pictures, set their own price, and its a 50/50 split when it sells. Having new items coming in every week also keeps loyal customers coming back, sometimes three times per week to check out the new stock. Mrs. McKiever has also generated a lot of buzz about the store through Facebook and Instagram, and has noticed she has fans not just from the local area.
Sailor Trading Company, located on Sea Girt Avenue, is constantly redecorated by owner Kerry McKiever. The store features new items every week, all of which come from consigners.
That has grown like wildfire. We have likes from Japan, Europe, beyond D.C., Philly, New York City traveling to see the goods, she said, which recently included a Ralph Lauren farm table. My customer base ranges wildly. We have everybody from your treasure hunter thrifter to your beachfront millionaire, Mrs. McKiever said. Because I offer such a diverse selection of quality goods at a more affordable price. Many of the Sailor Trading Company shoppers look to the store for inspiration, Mrs. McKiever said. Her decorating expertise has lead her to new ventures, including staging weddings, house tours and in real estate. Her newest business is Port and Starboard, a joint venture between her and Jason Cramer, her friend and right hand man since Sailor Trading Company opened, in which they redecorate and stage homes using items the homeowner already has. Mr. Cramer, as well as the rest of the Sailor Trading Company staff, is very supportive, Mrs. McKiever said. I have the best staff, I really do, she said. Theyre all for Sailor rapidly growing. As are her husband, Matthew, and three children, son, Sunny, 14 and daughters, Catherine, 9, and Lily, 7. Her ultimate dream for the Sea Girt Avenue location is to take over the entire property and turn it into an organic farm. Sailor Trading Company is currently accompanied by Waterbrook Garden Center on the same lot. She hopes to transform the property into a place that has a history behind it, where her children can grow up. I want my children to experience authentic clam bakes, to listen to stories of the past. Were a unique community, she said. The second Sailor Trading Company store, which recently opened on Sylvania Avenue in Avon-by-the-Sea, includes a paleo-style organic cafe, serving foods handmade from scratch using local fishes and meats. Mrs. McKiever plans to one day add a cafe to her Wall location, as well. In early spring, Mrs. McKiever also has plans to open a warehouse in Manasquan, which will hold large sales and events by appointment only. Her biggest goal is to inspire others to think outside the box, as she has with her business. Appreciate what you have, make use of what you have or have been passed down. Live simple, she said. SELLING AT SAILOR TRADING CO. Consigners interested in selling pieces at Sailor Trading Co. can contact Mrs. McKiever three ways: via email at sailortradingco@me.com, via phone at 732-359-7725 or they can bring photos of the items to the store, located at 1215 Sea Girt Ave. in Wall. The store is open seven days per week, typically from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., though the hours vary by season.

Joan V. Spearer
Joan V. Spearer, 84, of Point Pleasant passed away on Feb. 8, peacefully at home, where she wanted to be. She was born on Sept. 25, 1929 in Factoryville, Pa., the youngest of three children, to John and Elizabeth Philipson. Joan was predeceased by her sister, Muriel Peisel, and her brother John Jack Philipson. Joans family moved to Point Pleasant early in her life. She would continue to live and flourish with her own family in this tiny shore town, making it her forever home. She attended Point Pleasant Beach High School, where she was a member of the Class of 1948.
She had a contagious spirit and enjoyed being with her friends. They were a close group who still celebrated and enjoyed each others company well into their latter years. She had always shared fond memories of being a cheerleader and a basketball player during her time spent at the school, and took great pride in the fact that many of her own grandchildren would be able to do the same at PPBHS. During her summers she and her friends often frequented the beaches and boardwalk of Point Pleasant Beach, and that is where she met and fell in love with her sweetheart George W. Spearer Jr. She married her beloved on Sept. 10, 1950. After 47 years of marriage she was predeceased by him in 1997. She loved him ever so much and cherished the time that they had together and all the wonderful memories they made. They enjoyed playing shuffleboard at the Elks, traveling the Caribbean on cruises with their friends, and spending cold winters together in Florida. Together they had three children: daughter JoAnn Hilling and her husband Ray of Point Pleasant Beach; daughter Cyndee Engelhardt and her husband Gary of Point Pleasant Beach; and son John Spearer and his wife Maureen of Bricktown. When her children were little she enjoyed raising them and taking care of them in the role of a homemaker. As the children got a little older she ventured into the working field as a waitress spending many years working at Rudys Restaurant on Channel Drive and the Golden Eagle, both of Point Pleasant Beach.

New Jersey residents experiencing hunger. Students in the four district schools collected more than three tons of food for the second annual Students Change Hunger Holiday Food Drive competition. Formerly, the schools holiday food drives were part of the regional Foodbank of Monmouth & Ocean Counties Holiday Hunger Challenge, which was eliminated for 2012 to make way for the statewide Students Change Hunger. Developed through a collaborative effort between the New Jersey Federation of Food Banks, a consortium of five independent nonprofit food banks, Students Change Hunger challenges New Jerseys students, staff, teachers and parents to organize food drive events in schools to support less fortunate New Jerseyans. The groups primary purpose is the collection and distribution of charitable food to those that are at risk of hunger in the state. The Students Change Hunger programs participat-
ing schools compete against each other for a chance to win various awards. For the 2013 Holiday Hunger Challenge, the districts four schools brought in 6,399 pounds of food, equivalent to 3.1995 tons, earning the FoodBanks Spirit of Giving Award for both Ocean Road Elementary School and Memorial Middle School. The Spirit of Giving Award recognizes groups that have demonstrated exceptional spirit, commitment and dedication toward the cause of fighting hunger. Additionally, Memorial Middle School was named the intermediate school winner in Division 4. In December, the FoodBank of Monmouth & Ocean Counties hosted a special reception at their Neptune warehouse, where they honored the Holiday Hunger Challenge winners, among them Ocean Road Elementary School and Memorial Middle School. For raising 1,483 pounds of food, Ocean Road Elementary School earned the Students
Change Hunger Spirit of Giving Award. Once again, special education teacher Pam Kendall, who enlisted the help of the schools fifth grade Character Crew, spearheaded the schoolwide food collection effort. The Character Crew was responsible for packaging and preparing the food for delivery as well as the delivery itself. With 2,394 pounds of food collected, Memorial Middle also received the Students Change Hunger Spirit of Giving Award, marking the fourth consecutive year the school earned the Spirit of Giving Award. The school was further distinguished as the intermediate school division winner for the areas Division 4. Co-coordinators Courtney Kays and Tracy Ferm attended the reception where they were presented with a certificate and plaque commemorating the schools awards. Bringing the district total to 6,399 pounds were Nellie F. Bennett Elementary School, whose food drive was coordinated by the schools PTO,
with 1,472 pounds of food, and Point Pleasant Borough High School, whose Student Council-coordinated collection efforts yielded 1,050 pounds of food. According to New Jerseys Federation of FoodBanks, the 2013 Students Change Hunger challenge raised 168,702 pounds of food; 71,148 pounds were from Monmouth and Ocean Counties alone. Superintendent of Schools Vincent S. Smith said the positive effects these types of drives have are long-lasting. The holiday food collection efforts within Point Pleasant Borough Schools this year, demonstrate the profound impact young people can have toward the mitigation of hunger, he said. By collecting almost 6,400 pounds of food in just a few short months, our students, staff and parents fulfilled the Federation of Food Banks objective, dramatically changing hunger for the season, and raising awareness about hunger in New Jersey that will last a lifetime, he added.

Local businesses ready for Valentines Day crowds today

VALENTINE FROM PAGE 2
thumb used to be pairing chicken or fish with a white wine and red meats with a red wine, people have begun to break away from that formula when serving a meal. The new thing is to drink what you like, Mr. Stephens said. You want to try to match the style of food with the style of the wine, but youve got to enjoy what youre drinking. As far as sparkling wines go, he recommends Prosecco, an Italian sparkling white wine, for those seeking something in the lower price range. Bottles sell for $10 to $15, Mr. Stephens said. For a medium price range, Mr. Stephens said Nicolas Feuillatte champagne is really well made, and will run a customer about $10 or $20 more than the Prosecco. Some people want to splurge on beverages during Valentines Day. Mr. Stephens said a popular choice for those customers are Grower Champagnes. Grower Champagnes are sparkling wines made in the Champagne region of France that are produced by the same estate that owns the vineyards from which the grapes come. The quality is incredible, Mr. Stephens said. He recommended a Gaston Chiquet, for example, which costs around $50 per bottle. Mr. Stephens said, for those looking for an afterdinner cordial to enjoy with their sweet treats, he personally enjoys port, which is typically a sweet, red wine. It is often served as a dessert wine, though it also comes in dry, semi-dry and white varieties. Personally, I love port you can do a tawny port or a vintage port, which is great with chocolate and desserts, he said. Mr. Stephens said he also sells a lot of Rosa Regale around Valentines Day. Rosa Regale is an Italian sparkling dessert wine with a strawberry flavor to it, adding to the festivities of the day. FLOWERS FOR THEIR VALENTINES Patricia DaSilva, owner of the Purple Iris Flower Shop in Point Pleasant, said she and her employees begin preparing for Valentines Day weeks in advance as it is one of their busiest times of the year. Valentines Day is our Super Bowl its our busiest holiday, neck and neck with Mothers Day, she said. The reason is, everyone has a mom, but not everyone has a sweetie, so it depends year to year. Ms. DaSilva said of course, roses are the number one seller and her shop already has orders for more than 2,500. After roses, she said the most popular flowers to pick up for the big day are lilies and gerbera daisies, and a lot of people also enjoy non-traditional flowers, such as orchids. Ms. DaSilva said another big seller is a mixed bouquet, as those flower tend to last longer, around three to four weeks. Almost every order is unique, she said, as she and her employees individually design flower orders except the ones made in prepackaged bouquets. On top of the weeks of preparation with flower orders, decorating and designing the bouquets, Ms. DaSilva said she and her employees are ready to go out and deliver flowers beginning around 7 a.m. until about 7 p.m. She said last year was their largest year yet, and the shop was running six trucks across the area in order to fill every flower delivery. Ms. DaSilva said her shop will never turn anyone away, and will make every delivery possible. The flower shop will have specials running all day today and promotions can be found on its Facebook page, Purple Iris Flower Shop. Ms. DaSilva said every year there is a large range of flower orders customers, and she tries to make everyone happy. Were not just a flower shop. We have so much more to offer for people were one-stop shopping, we have flowers, gifts, cards, she said. Valentines Day is all about impeccable service and a friendly and warm atmosphere. Leslie Schmidt, owner of Shear Innovations Hair and Day Spa in Point Pleasant Beach, said hair and nail appointments are booked weeks in advance for couples hoping to celebrate Valentines Day together. She said most of her customer base around the holiday is women between the ages of 25 to 35 years old who are hoping for something special. Ms. Schmidt, who has owned the salon for 17 years, said it does create a pretty big boost in business compared to the rest of the winter weeks. The most popular appointment is for a hair and nail combination. Little hearts on the nails is pretty popular hearts and glitter, she said. On top of the appointments, Ms. Schmidt said the salon also does well in selling gift certificates for facials and spa manicures. Ms. Schmidt said one of the more unique occurrences at the salon on Valentines Day is when women bring their significant others to get facials with them. A lot of women also give their significant others facials, she said. Guys might not admit it, but they do love facials, too. Ms. Schmidt said although the salon is booked with hair and nail appointments, those interested can still stop by to purchase a gift certificate this weekend. Valentines Day like diamonds is not uncommon. Bentley Diamond Importers, located on Route 35 in Wall Township, is one of the many places people could find something special for their significant other this Valentines Day. I would say we sell a lot of engagement rings for Valentines Day, sales manager Robert Tortoriello said. Mr. Tortoriello said the store specifically sells a lot of the round, brilliant cut diamond, because it has the most brilliance and holds its value over time. Though many people come in to shop for Valentines Day gifts solo, Mr. Tortoriello said he has noticed many couples pick out engagement rings together. Bentley Diamond Importers also sells a lot of diamond stud earrings around Valentines Day, he said. I think a lot of people shop for valentines probably the last four days before, Mr. Tortoriello said. Its more of a last-minute gift for the guys.

The Borough shall utilize the state-approved procedures for such emergency uses. 16-19. Equitable Terms. In the event that the service of another multi-channel video program provider not subject to the Boroughs regulatory authority within the Borough creates a significant competitive disadvantage to Cablevision, the Company shall have the right to request from the Borough lawful amendments to its Franchise that relieve it of burdens which create the unfair competitive situation.

Each Annual Grant installment shall be payable to the Borough within ninety (90) days from receipt of the Boroughs written request.

The Borough agrees that the Initial Grant and the Annual Grant provided pursuant to Paragraph E, shall be used for the exclusive support of PEG access programming, such as the purchase and/or rental of PEG access equipment and facilities. On request, the Borough shall provide Cablevision with a certification of compliance with this Section 16-21(F). G.

All of the commitments contained in the Application and any amendment thereto submitted in writing to the Borough by the Company except as modified herein, are binding upon Cablevision as terms and conditions of this consent. The Application and any other written amendments thereto submitted by Cablevision in connection with this consent are incorporated in this Ordinance by reference and made a part hereof, except as specifically modified, changed, limited, or altered by this Ordinance, or to the extent that they conflict with State or federal law. 16-23. Consistency with Applicable Laws. This consent shall be construed in a manner consistent with all applicable federal, State and local laws, as such laws, rules and regulations may be amended from time to time. SECTION 2.

compile a list of things, he said. Mayor Curtis said the responsibility to compile the list is up to the homeowner. They can then give the lists to the borough once the project is reaching completion. The borough will send those lists to the state Department of Transportation [DOT] and Agate Construction of Trenton the contractor supervising the work on Route 35. Mayor Curtis said, unfortunately, the matter will have to be settled between the homeowner, the DOT and Agate Construction. However, he said, the borough is going to try and create a system between all entities involved to ensure the damages are properly report-

ed and are taken care of by either the state or contractor. The Borough of Bay Head will not deal with the contractor or the state on your behalf, he said. We will simply act as a conduit for the gathering of the lists and turning it over to them for action. Mayor Curtis said once the lists are given to the state, one of the two entities will either have to complete the repairs to the home or property, or will have to sub-contract the work out. He said while the end date is still a ways off, he wants to encourage homeowners to
begin the process of tracking damage now. The purpose of this announcement today, is to say keep a record of what has been damaged on your property and if you feel that is a result of the work being done by the contractor, take note of it, write it down, hold onto it, and we will let you know when we will receive those, he said. Mayor Curtis said the borough will announce when it will be accepting the photographs and documentation of damages as the project gets closer to completion.
During the meeting, Mayor Curtis noted the project is expected to be finished in May in order to allow the borough to be ready and open for the summer season. However, he speculated that if there are delays, the project may be halted for the summer and begin again in the fall. The next council meeting is slated for Monday, March 3, at 7 p.m. at 81 Bridge Ave. Breanne McCarthy covers Bay Head for The Ocean Star.

Garnet Gulls win 24th match, which sets a new school record
POINT PLEASANT BEACH It was an unforgettable night for the Point Pleasant Beach High School wrestling team. Not only did the Gulls earn a 41-26 win over Burlington City at home in the Central Jersey Group I semifinals on Wednesday, the team also set a school record for wins in the season. The win marked the Garnet Gulls 24th of the year, which surpassed the previous record of 23 wins, set in 2008. Point Beach coach Jeff Bower said there was something a little more special about setting a school record with a win in the state tournament. This is how we wanted to do it, he said. With it being the seniors last time at home, this was just a great way to get the win. It was nice to get it tonight, Point Beachs 138pounder, James Finnerty, added. We have a quad match on Saturday so we were going to get it either way, but it was a little more special getting it tonight. Point Beach was down early to Burlington City. The Blue Devils started the match ahead 9-0 after a pin and decision victory in the 220 and 285 weight classes, respectively. Burlington City then forfeited the 106-pound

Farrell was one of two players that scored in double figures for the Garnet Gulls. The only other player to reach double figures was Dom Uhl.

Dramatic game ends with Point Boro beating Wall

Point Pleasant defeats Wall for the third time this season
BY LEN BARDSLEY
THE OCEAN STAR
BRICK There is no doubt it is not easy beating a division rival three times in one season. The Point Pleasant Borough ice hockey team found out just how hard it is on Wednesday at the Ocean Ice Palace against Wall in the first round of the Shore Conference Tournament. It took everything the Panthers had to skate past the Crimson Knights, winning 4-3 by virtue of a shootout in one of the most dramatic, well-played games of the season. Point Boro, which came into the tournament as the fourth seed, now waits to play the winner of the game between fifth seed Middletown North and 12th seed Rumson-Fair Haven. The Lions and Bulldogs were scheduled to play yesterday, but snow forced the game to be postponed until today. Regardless of the winner of the

HOWELL The Point Pleasant Borough High School ice hockey team came back from a three-goal deficit to tie Wall 4-4 on Sunday at the Howell Ice World. The win was important, as it is now the second time in three years the Panthers are undefeated in the B South division. The Panthers officially clinched the division title on Thursday with a 6-1 win over Monsignor Donovan at The Ocean Ice Palace in Brick. In the game against Wall, Point Boros Owen Herrington scored two goals. Besides his standout performance, the Panthers Chris McDermott and Steven Kovaleski scored one goal each. Alex Wuestneck led Wall with two goals. Patrick Judge and Jeff Morgan also had nice outings, each scoring one goal for the Knights. Point Boro was first to jump on the scoreboard with 12:22 left in the opening period. The Panthers Ray Seaken slid the puck to Kovaleski, who then passed it up to Chris McDermott. With a defender on his heels, McDermott performed a stick deke in the crease before finishing inside the far post. Point Boro then had a delay of game penalty just more than one minute later, giving the Crimson Knights a oneman advantage. Wuestneck made the most of the opportunity. His shot from the left side of the ice found its way between the goalie and the inside post, tying the game at 1 with 9:52 left in the period. Judge and Wuestneck each netted a goal later in the opening period to increase Walls lead to 3-1. Then, Morgan scored nine seconds into the second period off a faceoff, causing the Knights to go up 4-1. Wall jumping out to a big lead was a surprise to the Point Boro ice hockey team. The Panthers have already beaten Wall twice this season. The Panthers defeated the Crimson Knights 2-1 at The Ocean Ice Palace on Dec. 13 and handily, 8-1, at the Winding River Skating Center on Dec. 29.

POINT PLEASANT BOROUGH ICE HOCKEY B SOUTH DIVISION CHAMPIONS

Although it is understandable for the Panthers to come out slow after just winning a division title, Point Boro coach Alex DePalma gave credit to Wall for putting his team to the test. I knew though they were going to come out tough because they needed this game for the Shore Conference Tournament, DePalma said. It was also their senior night. They played with a little more emotion and got a couple goals on us early. Luckily for the Panthers, a slashing penalty sent a Knight to the box for two minutes. Herrington would go on to score on the power play with 11:08 left in the second period. He would go on to net a short-handed goal just less than four minutes later on an assist from Kovaleski to cut the Knights lead to 4-3.
The Crimson Knights were able to fight off Point Boros power-play opportunity at the end of the second period, but couldnt continue to carry the momentum in the third period. Nine seconds into the final period, McDermott passed the puck ahead to Kovaleski who netted the game-tying goal. Point Boro and Wall both had four goals on the scoreboard. Later in the final period, both Wall and Point Boros goalies made huge defensive stops down the stretch. Walls Jake Henderson, who made 28 saves on the day, made a challenging glove save with just more than seven minutes left in the period. Point Boros Chris Bellman made a nice kick save on a two-on-one rush in the final minutes of the game. That probably saved the game right there, DePalma said about Bellmans save. The Knights had a final chance to score with a face-
off in the Panthers zone with just seconds left in the game, but the team was unable to get a shot on net. POINT BORO FOCUSES ON SHORE, STATE TOURNAMENTS With the B South schedule over, the Panthers had a fourday break in action this week. DePalma said the Panthers have a lot to work on before entering the Shore Conference and state tournaments. One of the most important parts of the game he said the team needs to focus on is breaking out of the defensive zone. Point Boro returns to action tonight to play the last game of its regular season schedule against Middletown South High School. The game is set to start at 6:20 p.m. at the Middletown Ice World.

With help from the Point Pleasant Borough ice hockey program, the Brick Stars Challenger Ice Hockey organization and the USA Warriors both participated in the third annual Special Needs Winter Classic at the Avon Pond. The Avon Pond, a portable ice rink in Volunteer Park, has been the site of the game each winter as a way to raise funds for the Brick Stars organization, which is comprised of more than 60 children and young adults who have mental or physical disabilities.

Point Pleasant Beach High School senior wrestler James Finnerty had the biggest win of the night in a match against Burlington City in the Central Jersey Group I semifinals on Wednesday.

Finnerty said his end-ofseason goals are to do well in the district and region tournaments. To see Finnerty compete, he and the Garnet Gulls will be wrestling one of the top wrestling teams in the state of New Jersey, Bound Brook, on the road Friday night in the state sectional finals.

The kid he beat tonight went to Atlantic City last year, and James had him on his back, like, three times. He is just so dangerous from every position, Bower continued. Nobody can relax when they wrestle James and he really stepped up when we needed him to. I was proud of myself, Finnerty said. It was a good win for me.

He said he was excited to play in last Sundays game. It just seemed natural to fit these two teams together, Laursen said. They are different programs and different age groups, but have the same overall mission healing, camaraderie and hockey. The excitement to play in the game was also shared by players on the Brick Stars. Donald Petersen, 17, of Ocean Township, serves as one of the teams captains. He said he always looks forward to participating in the game. Its a lot of fun, Donald said. Its great just being on the ice. Donald said what he liked most about playing for the Brick Stars was being able to do so with his friends. I love working with all of my teammates, Donald said. To me, the Brick Stars is like a second family. Dan Sullivan, 10, of Shark River Hills, serves as an assistant captain. He, too, said he liked playing the game with his teammates. Im excited to play with my friends, Dan said. Contributing to the family feeling the team has is Alex DePalma, coach of the Brick Stars and the Point Pleasant Borough High School hockey team. I couldnt ask for a greater day, DePalma said before the game began last Sunday. DePalma said the name of the park where the pond is located, Volunteer Park, was appropriately named. Everything here today is because people donate their time, donate their funds to support not only the Brick Stars, but also the Avon Pond, DePalma said. He also welcomed the USA Hockey Warriors Team. Were so lucky and fortunate to have the USA Warriors hockey team here today, DePalma said. These gentleman have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. They are all heros. LENDING A HELPING HAND Among the crowd attending last weekends game were several local high school hockey players, including players from the St. Rose High School and Point Pleasant Borough High School hockey teams. Players on both teams have volunteered for the Brick Stars during the organizations weekly practice, and were there last Sunday to help the players before they headed out onto the ice. Senior Steven Kovaleski, sophomore Chris Bellman and freshman Christopher Miller, who all play for the Point Pleasant Borough team, were among those who attended Sundays game. Every Sunday were all out there, Steven said of helping
out with the Brick Stars. Its nice helping out the kids. Steven continued, We like seeing the smiles on their faces. Its a really cool thing. Chris said he has fun helping out with the teams practices. The kids love it, Chris said. Senior J.P. Regan, of Spring Lake, who plays for St. Rose, also attended last weekends game. He said he enjoyed helping out. Every year is a success, J.P. said. Its good to see these kids out here. His hockey coach, Dan Grothues, was also in attendance Sunday. Grothues said he was proud of his players who came out to help. Its great, Grothues said. They love to volunteer. ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL GAME John OMalley, a co-owner of the pond, was pleased with how this years Special Needs Winter Classic went, saying the crowd was great. OMalley said it was great to see the players on the Brick Stars grow, becoming better hockey players each year. The kids are all growing up, becoming better hockey players, getting stronger, OMalley said. He commended DePalma for the teams success. He puts a lot of work into it, OMalley said. He also thanked the USA Warriors Ice Hockey team for traveling to the pond to participate in the game. What great guys they are, OMalley said. They embraced the kids, they embraced the crowd. He also thanked local businesses, including the primary event sponsor, Shore Childrens Dental Care, for helping the pond host the event. WHAT IT MEANS TO THE TEAM Dina Crepaldi, of Brick, is the operating manager for the Brick Stars. Her son, Paul, 13, is a member of the team. She said proceeds from events like the Special Needs Winter Classic help keep the program running. Its a really wonderful experience, Crepaldi said. This program helps them achieve so many goals that they probably wouldnt have been able to. Crepaldi continued, It helps them with functional abilities on and off the ice. She also said the team members have connected with one another since the organizations inception in 2009. What weve noticed is that they have become a family unit, Crepaldi said. The parents tell us they couldnt be more proud of the program for what it has done for their kids, off the ice, as well.

Three Garnet Gulls score career-highs

BY GREG DOMORSKI
THE OCEAN STAR
POINT PLEASANT BEACH Point Pleasant Beachs guard, Ashley Kelly, unloaded a career-high 21 points in a close 59-55 win over Asbury Park at home on Monday. Two other girls on the Garnet Gulls team also had career highs in the win. Shannon Lane scored 14 points and Ashleys sister, Sam, added 13 points. They are both very consistent for us this year, said Point Beach coach Mike Feerst, about the Kelly sisters. They handle the ball for us a lot of the time. Lane came off the bench for the Gulls and hit three, 3-pointers. Feerst said she made some huge, huge buckets in the game.
Asbury Park also showed fight. Porschia Witherspoon scored a game-high 19 points and Krystina Barnes added 13 points for the Blue Bishops. The Garnet Gulls and Blue Bishops have split the home and away series. The Blue Bishops defeated the Gulls 5230 at home on Jan. 16.

Point Beach was supposed to play Keyport on Thursday, which was postponed to a later date this season due to inclement weather. If Point Beach defeats Keyport, it will be the first time the team won back-toback division titles since the 1955 and 1956 seasons. POINT BEACH SCT WATCH Point Beach should be the top overall seed in the Shore Conference Tournament. Point Beach made it to the Shore Conference Tournament finals last year where it lost in the finals to Lakewood at Monmouth University in West Long Branch. This season, St. Rose was the Shore Conference team to come closest to defeating Point Beach. The Roses lost by 15 points to the Gulls [5843] on Jan. 30. The only team that should be able to test Point Beach for the top overall seed is the Christian Brothers Academy, a private school in the Lincroft section of Middletown. The Colts have not lost to a Shore Conference opponent so far this season. According to Catania, Point Beach has never won the Shore Conference Tournament in the history of the basketball program. That has been the goal the past seven years, Catania said about winning the title. Being the favorite, we have to play harder than anyone else in each game. We got to play each game like it is a championship game something that we have been doing all season. We have to defend, rebound and execute to win it this year. Seeding for the Shore Conference Tournament will take place on Sunday. Greg Domorski covers sports for The Ocean Star. He can be reached at gdomorski@theoceanstar.com or 732-899-7606 Ext 15.

TOMS RIVER After showing a penchant for winning close games this season, the Point Pleasant Borough High School girls basketball teams luck ran out on Tuesday evening when the Panthers lost 68-61 to Toms River North High School on the road. Point Boro guard Brielle Barber led all scorers with 24 points and her teammate, forward Brianna Skinner, added 10 points in the loss to the Mariners. This was a big night for her, coach David Drew said about Barber. She scored 15 the night before [against Manchester], which is 39 points in two games. Toms River North had four different players score in double figures as Nikki Gardner scored a team-high 18 points, which included 16 in the first half. Sam Farley added 14 points. Ashley Tutzauer scored 13 points, which included nine in the first quarter. Christina Ribaudo added 12 points, all of which were scored in the second half. Point Boro had trouble getting out to Toms River North shooters, who drained six, 3pointers in the first half alone. The Mariners led 17-15 at the end of the first quarter and started the second quarter on a 9-3 run to make the score 26-18 when the Panthers called timeout with 5:30 left before the half. Afterward, the Panthers made an adjustment and pressed the inbound passes after scoring a bucket. Toms River North proved to have questionable ball handling skills and the Panthers crept back in the game trailing just 26-25 later in the second quarter. Toms River North went on to alter its strategy in-bounding the ball and went on a 103 run to end the half. At this point, the Mariners were ahead 37-27.
In the second half, the Panthers limited the Mariners outside shooters. The Mariners sunk just one, 3pointer in the second half, but found holes in the Panthers 1-3-1 zone to score enough points. The Mariners moved ahead 53-42 at the end of the third quarter. Barber sunk two, 3-pointers early in the fourth quarter to threaten the Mariner lead. However, the closest the Panthers would get to the Mariners was a six-point deficit in multiple instances during the fourth quarter. We fought real hard and I give a lot of our girls credit, Drew said. We started to play our tempo but it was tough to stay with them. I thought a lot of our girls played well. There was a lot of good things in the unfortunate loss. SENIOR NIGHT A SUCCESS Point Boros 62-49 win over Manchester on Monday was a little extra special for three girls on the Point Pleasant Borough girls basketball team. Three seniors were honored for their contributions to the program in Jamie Pike, Julie Kloza and Barber. All three started the game against the Hawks. Senior night was great, Drew said. Anytime you can win on senior night makes the game more special. Besides Barbers team-high 15 points, Megan Hughes added 13 points, eight rebounds and three assists. Skinner scored 11 points and grabbed 14 rebounds. Point Boro went on to play Lakewood High School on the road Thursday, which occurred too late to be covered in this edition of The Ocean Star. For full coverage, see next weeks issue. The Panthers will take on Governor Livingston on Saturday at Kean University in Union.

WALL 37 WRESTLING POINT BORO 27
Panthers fall short in states

THE OCEAN STAR
HUNGRY? HAVE SOME CHAMPIONSHIP CAKE!

Joe Leone Introna, owner of Italian Specialty shop Joe Leone's, located on Laurel Avenue in Point Pleasant Beach, attended the football team's state championship celebration dinner at the high school gymnasium on Saturday. He and his team designed and donated a special custom cake.
WALL Nearly everything swung in favor of the No. 4seeded Wall wrestling program in a 37-27 win over No. 5 Point Boro in the Central Jersey Group II quarterfinals on Tuesday night. Not only did the Crimson Knights get a home match after barely getting a higher seed in the state tournament, they also won the flip, which determines which team sends out a wrestler on odd and even bouts. Point Boro coach Pat Brady said Wall having matchups of their choice was key in determining the ending result. I think the flip had a lot to do with this match, and some things did not go out way, Brady said. But, thats wrestling and these seniors have nothing to be ashamed of after falling short in this match. These seniors are leaving quite a legacy, he continued. They are three-time division champs. I know they didnt want this match to end this way, but they wrestled their hearts outs. With the match starting out with the 138-pound bout, Point Boro first jumped on the scoreboard when defending region six champion Ryan Budzek picked up a 6-0 decision over Chad McClelland after punishing him all three periods.
Wall would go on to win the next four bouts to move ahead 16-3 before the Panthers Kevin Kelly earned a 10 decision over Tommy Wishart to cut the Knights lead to 16-6. Wall then had back-to-back pins to jump out to its biggest lead of the day, moving up 286 over the Panthers. Point Boro did not give up and nearly completed its best comeback of the season. The Panthers went on to win three of the next four bouts with a little help from the Crimson Knights. Wall forfeited matches against two of the Panthers better wrestlers in Dan Nobbs [120] and Dominic Infante [285]. Nobbs is a two-time region six medalist and 2012 Atlantic City qualifier. Infante has double-digit wins this season. Also in the Panthers run, Dylan Davies [106] picked up a crucial pin over Ryan Valante just 27 seconds into the third period. As a result, the Panthers crept back into the match, down just 31-24 going into the 126-pound weight class. This set up a huge bout between Point Boros Darrin Perrotta and Walls Joe Demuner. Perrotta nearly pinned Demuner on a cradle in regulation. Demuner, though, was able to hold on as match was tied at zero heading into overtime. Perrotta was more aggressive in the overtime period,
but Demuner countered his single leg takedown attempt and pinned him 28 seconds into the extra time. After the pin, the Wall bench jumped up and roared while the Panthers stood in disbelief. Point Boros Jack Erhardt was able to pick up a 5-1 decision in the final bout, but it was not enough to overcome the Crimson Knights. Brady was disappointed the Panthers were not able to pick up the victory, but said his team will continue to move forward and finish the season strong. After the loss, the Panthers drop to a 15-3 record on the year. The Crimson Knights improved to 13-5. There is a lot of season left, Brady said. It is not over yet. This hurts, but we still have to move on and compete. We have a couple more dual meets left and then will compete in districts. Wall went on to take on top-seeded Raritan on Wednesday night. Point Boro will compete in a quad match at home on Saturday. The match will also include Allentown, Monmouth Regional and Pemberton high schools. Greg Domorski covers sports for The Ocean Star.

weight class with no wrestler ready to go. This resulted in Point Beach cutting into a 9-6 Burlington City lead. Burlington City earned a major decision win to increase its lead to 12-6, but the Gulls answered right back with a pin from John Finnerty in just 57 seconds into the 120-pound bout. This tied the score at 12. Point Beach would go on to take its first lead of the day when 126-pounder Giancarlo Crivelli punished the Blue Devils Kolby Eleazer with a 20-4 score, resulting in a technical fall. This put the Garnet Gulls ahead 17-12. After a decision loss, Point Beach had a match-changing win from 138-pounder James Finnerty. Finnerty wrestled Joe Baer, a state finalist. Finnerty and Baer went into overtime with the score tied at 1. Baer nearly made a takedown on Finnerty with both wrestlers on the ground, but Finnertys strength and experience all helped in pushing Baer over. This caused the referee to award the two points to Finnerty. The win put the Garnet Gulls ahead 20-15. It was a nice way to end my last match here wrestling in this gym, Finnerty said. Tore Capriglione [145] and Riley Kelly [152] fed off the momentum. They nearly put the Blue Devils away for good with back-to-back pins, increasing the Garnet Gulls lead to 32-15. But, Burlington City closed on Point Beachs lead from a Ryan Daniels technical fall to make the score 32-20. This set up a tough match between Jake Fioretti and Qadir Mordroza, one that Burlington City desperately needed to win. Both wrestlers picked up a point the first six minutes of regulation, in what seemed like an even match where anybody could come out on top. The match went into overtime resulting in an extra one-minute period, in which no wrestler scored. Mordroza chose the down position to start the next overtime period, which consisted of 30 seconds. Fioretti held him down the whole 30 seconds. This resulted in another overtime period, where Fioretti was in the down position for the following 30 seconds. Fioretti jumped up and tried to break Mordrozas grip, but his hands were too tight across his waist. Fioretti then made a quick move that resulted in a reversal to give him the 3-1 overtime win, making the score 35-20 with two bouts remaining. With the match in hand, Point Beach and Burlington City each forfeited a bout, which caused the 41-26 ending result. Point Beach will go on to face Bound Brook, the twotime defending Group I state champion, on the road tonight. Bound Brook is considered one of the top two teams in the entire state with Bergen Catholic being No. 1. We have been to the sectional semifinals every year I have been here and this is the first time we are going to the sectional finals, James Finnerty said. So it is nice, even though we have to wrestle Bound Brook. Greg Domorski covers sports for The Ocean Star. He can be reached at gdomorski@theoceanstar.com or 732-8997606 Ext 15.

LEGENDARY PLASTIC SURGERY

It has recently come to light that screen legend and enduring sex symbol Marilyn Monroe underwent plastic surgery in 1950. In those days, the chin implant that the big-screen beauty received was made out of bovine cartilage. Unlike current silicone implants, Ms. Monroes chin implant later became resorbed by her body and had to be replaced a few years later. At the time of her original chin surgery, the screen legend also had the tip of her nose revised. Interestingly, Marilyn Monroe went on to make some of her most memorable films (1953s How to Marry a Millionaire, 1955s The Seven Year Itch, and 1959s Some Like It Hot) after her 1950 surgeries. SEA SHORE PLASTIC AND HAND SURGERY CENTER is proud to offer some of the most innovative procedures available in board certified cosmetic and plastic surgery, aesthetic treatments and skincare. As needs and desires vary for each individual, we will be happy to answer any questions about surgical fees, insurance benefits and patient financing at the time of your initial consult. Our office also performs microsurgery on carpal tunnel syndrome, ganglion cysts and other conditions. P.S. The surgeon who brought Marilyn Monroes plastic surgery to public attention donated the proceeds from the sale of his notes and her x-rays to the nonprofit Rebuilding Americas Warriors, which provides U.S. veterans with free reconstructive surgery.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2014 THE OCEAN STAR PAGE 31 The overtime provided 15 minutes of dramatics, heartstopping action, but no goals. Wall thought they had won it at one point when a long shot from Pat Judge got past Bissey, but the Crimson Knights were whistled for offsides, a call that broke up the Crimson Knight celebration pile at center ice. Kovaleski was stopped from point blank range in the slot and Bissey made a pad save on Waddell at the other end. That is a classic overtime, said DePalma. Fifteen minutes going both ends, great saves at both ends. Your best players going back and forth and at the end of 15 minutes it is still 0-0. The Panthers had the clear advantage in the shootout with an experienced goalie in Bissey and several excellent shooters at their disposal. Bissey started the shootout with a save on Shane Haviland before Herrington scored on Henderson, giving Point Boro the early advantage. Jeff Morgan converted his shot on Bissey for Wall, but Kovaleski beat Henderson with a move to keep the Panthers in front. Bissey again came up big, stopping Waddell with a pad save before Henderson adjusted and made a nice stop of his own. The goalies took over the shootout with Bissey again making a save, this one on Wuestneck before Henderson denied the Panthers shooter. The fifth Wall shooter needed to score to extend the shootout, but Bissey stood tall, making the stop, allowing a big sigh of relief for the Panthers and an even bigger celebration. It was a great game, said DePalma. It was two teams that have a history that always play hard against each other. You could see a lot of respect on the ice.

Panthers edge the Knights

BORO FROM PAGE 27
game between Middletown North and Rumson, the Panthers will host the quarterfinal round game. Wall, which came into the game having lost to Point Pleasant Boro twice this season to go along with one tie, stepped up its game as the 13th seed. Chris McDermott gave the Panthers a quick 1-0 lead, scoring on the first shot for Point Boro off a faceoff 16 seconds into the game. The Crimson Knights took control after the early goal, putting heavy pressure on the Panthers and goalie Nate Bissey. Wall jumped ahead 2-1 just over a minute later when Wuestneck scored on a rebound in front of the Point Boro goal. The Panthers picked up the pace in the second period and pinned the Crimson Knights in their end for long stretches and only the play of Wall senior goalie Jake Henderson kept Point Boro from breaking through. Point Boro had a two-man advantage midway through the second period, but could not cash in as Wall took the narrow lead into the third period. The Panthers tied things up with 12:06 left in the third period when Steven Kovaleski deflected a shot off the faceoff past Henderson. Wall, however, moved in front again with only 3:15 left in the third period when Wuestneck scored on a rebound. The Panthers displayed their resilience and determination in the final minute. Bissey was pulled for an extra attacker and Point Boro refused to allow the Crimson Knights to clear their zone. As the clock showed under a minute left in regulation, Owen Herrington eventually chased down a loose puck at the side of the net and shot the puck into the open side of the goal as Henderson scrambled back into position. Herringtons goal with 35.6 seconds left, tied the game 3-3 and forced overtime. The desperation was there, said Point Boro coach Alex DePalma. The last two years they have gotten knocked out in the first round. I think that weighed on them a little bit. We pulled it through.
STRONG ENCOURAGEMENT
Former NFL linebacker Philip Villapiano, who was a member of the Oakland Raiders Super Bowl XI winning team, spoke at the Point Pleasant Beach football state championship celebration on Saturday. He raised thousands of dollars to buy new equipment for the program under a organization he started The Foundation to Save the Jersey Shore, a 501[c]3 nonprofit. According to Villapiano, the organization was inspired to raise money after the old equipment was destroyed from Hurricane Sandy.

Atlantic Coast Conference names Kelly Hughes Rookie of the Week

BY GREG DOMORSKI
THE OCEAN STAR
GREENSBORO, N.C. Boston College [BC] freshman Kelly Hughes, a Point Pleasant native, was named Atlantic Coast Conference Rookie of the Week, announced by the conference office on Monday afternoon. This marks the second time this season that Hughes earned the ACC Rookie of the Week honor. The first was on Dec. 16 after she averaged 13 points and 7.5 rebounds in two BC victories. Hughes averaged 23 points, as BC went 1-1 for the week. The Eagles rookie averaged a season-high 36.5 minutes per game, shot 66.7 percent from the field and a sizzling 71.4 percent [10-for-14] from the three-point line.
Hughes hit 5-of-9 [55.6 percent] from long range vs. Virginia on Thursday. Her fifth three came with 2:09 to play for a five point lead. Hughes hit two foul shots with seven seconds to play to seal the win. Against Florida State, the 5foot-10 guard matched her career-high with 23 points while grabbing five rebounds. Hughes was perfect from the floor from the arc, as she hit 5of-5 in the game. She is now the Eagles third leading scorer [11.2 ppg.] and shooting 46 percent from the 3-point line. Hughes is second in the ACC in 3-point percentage [46 percent] and fifth in threes made at 64. She leads all ACC freshman in threes made and shooting percentage. The last Boston College rookies to earn more than two
weekly honors were Stefanie Murphy and Carolyn Swords. In the 2007-08 season, Murphy, who was the ACC Rookie of the Year, earned the weekly award five times, while Swords picked up the honor four times. Point Pleasant Borough High Schools David Drew, who coached Hughes for three years is happy to see his former player is finding success at the national level. It is funny because when she makes a big shot, my phone keeps on going off with people asking if I saw what Kelly just did, Drew said. After watching her work ethic in high school, I knew she was going to be a competitor and a great player at BC, he added.

FISHING TIPS BY JIM FREDA
Some of N.J. fluke quote given to N.Y.

Paul Haertel, President of the Jersey Coast Anglers Association [JCAA], has reported: The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission [ASMFC] has voted in favor of regionalized management for fluke, in effect, reallocating some of New Jerseys fluke quota and giving it to New York. Further, of the two regionalization plans being considered, they chose the worse one for New Jersey. Under the adopted plan, New Jersey will be in a region with New York and Connecticut. Under this plan, we will have a four fish bag limit at 18 inches with a 128-day season. The New Jersey Marine Fisheries Council [NJMFC] will now only be able to decide when the season will begin and when it will end. Under this plan, New Jersey is only projected to harvest 906,348 fluke. If the other regional option had been chosen, New Jersey would have had a 135day season with a projected harvest of 947,337 fluke. Further, the ASMFC disregarded the will of the public. Hearings were held in various states and there was a public comment period where the vast majority of the public opposed the regionalized plans. Additionally, the ASMFC claimed they wanted to have similar sized regulations between bordering states but all they did was shift the problem. Last year, New York had a 19-inch size limit and New Jersey had a 17.5-inch size limit despite the fact that they were fishing similar waters. This year, both New York and New Jersey will have an 18-inch size limit. However, Delaware will have a 16-inch size limit. How is that fair for our boats out of Cape May that fish similar waters? The little bit of good news was that the ASMFC voted not to have a closed season on winter flounder. Now we just have to wait for the NJMFC to adopt that measure. The ASMFC also voted in favor of ad hoc regional measures for sea bass as we had last year. I am hopeful that since New
TIP OF THE WEEK FROM JIM FREDA

Make sure you wear a pair of korkers when fishing any winter trout streams. Not only will they provide traction when in the water, but they will also give you good footing along the snow covered banks.
Jersey under fished its target quota that we might be able to have a somewhat longer season this year but that remains to be seen. If you are into a road trip, you can take a ride to Oaks, Pa. for the 5th Annual Greater Philadelphia Outdoor Sportshow that is taking place now at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center. The show starts today and runs through Sunday. It is 90 miles from here and will take about an hour and a half to get there. Show hours are today, 12 - 8 p.m., Friday, 12 - 8 p.m., Saturday, 10 a.m. - 7 p.m., Sunday, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Admission is adults: $12, children ages 5-11: $3, under 5 years old: free. Check out www.sportshows.com/philad elphia/index.html for all the information. Bob, over at Fishermens den in Belmar, reports: I saw on line JCAA put out a message that the ASMFC has voted to go with a plan to lump New Jersey in with New York for the upcoming fluke season. This will result in New Jersey having an 18- inch size and four fish limit a very bad decision for the fishing industry of New Jersey. Once again, the government in their ignorance let the powerful commercial fishing rule there decision making. The only good thing mentioned was they will allow for a more liberal harvest of winter flounder. This would allow us something to fall back on when fluke season is closed. The NJMFC should take this matter up at the earliest possible time, so we would have a
fall flounder season to lessen the burden of loss of business on the fishing industry and the fishing community, Bob. Capt. Howard Bogan, of the Big Jamaica, reports: Offshore wreck fishing continues to improve. We had a good showing of cod up to 24 pounds and pollock up to 32 pounds. We also had a few ling and a few porgies mixed in. Some cod and pollock were caught on jigs but most anglers stuck with bait and caught their fish on clams. The pool winner was John Kizman, from Brick, with a 32pound pollock. Other notable catches were Dennis Grove, from Salsbury, MD., with five cod and one Pollock, Tyler Laracuente, from Wall, with two cod and four pollock up to 25 pounds, Ruben Aponte, from New York City, with four cod and a couple of ling, Carlos Gonzalez, from New York City, with four cod and one pollock, Larry Scacchetti, from Hillsdale, with four cod, Mark Bogdanoff, from Roseland, with a nice pollock and ling. As the water temperature continues to drop, more cod and pollock will migrate to the offshore wrecks. There is space available on the next offshore trip sailing Saturday at 1 a.m. We also added two mid-range wreck trips sailing 3 a.m. Sunday and Monday Feb. 16 & 17. We are scheduled to sail to the offshore wrecks every Saturday in February and March. For further information on our offshore wreck trips, go to www.bigjamaica.com or call 732-528-5014. For the complete schedule go to: http://bigjam a i c a . co m / ja m a i c a sa i l ingschedule.html. Call ahead for weather. Capt. Ryan, of the Jamaica II out of Brielle, reports: The 3 a.m. cod trip was pretty good this weekend. We had beautiful weather that helped and nice calm conditions. We picked away at cod, pollock, ling, lots of big silver eels and some pout too. Dave Brink, from Port Monmouth, had three cod and two pollock, Kirk Davis, from Rumson, had
three cod and 5 ling, Ray Bryant, from South Orange, won the pool with a cod also had two others and eight ling. Tim Kiebler, from Bucks County, Pa., had three cod, two pollock, and seven ling. We are scheduled to sail Wednesdays and Sundays for deepwater wrecks 5 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturdays we sail for cod/pollock 3 a.m. - 5 pm. No reservations are needed.

Panthers defeat Hawks in overtime

THE OCEAN STAR
The Point Boro basketball team earned a thrilling, 58-52 overtime win over Manchester on the road Monday night. Point Boro senior guard Will Boccanfuso had a great night overall with 14 points, 11 rebounds, seven assists and five steals. Panther sophomore forward Peyton Wejnert scored a game-high 28 points. Point Boro improved to 125, which included a 10-3 record in the Shore Conference. The Panthers were supposed to play Lakewood yesterday, but the match was cancelled due to inclement weather.
The Atlantic Baseball Confederation Collegiate League [ABCCL] needs help to get the 2014 season off to a great start. The ABCCL is currently seeking families in Middlesex, Morris, Mercer, Monmouth and Ocean counties to house out-of-state college players who will be competing at the Jersey Shore this summer. The ABCCL, now going into its 14th season, brings together collegiate baseball players from all over the nation to participate in a highly competitive summer baseball league. These players all come highly recommended by their coaches as quality studentathletes, but more importantly as well-mannered young men.

Without the opportunity provided by host families for a place to live during the summer months, many of these young men would not have the opportunity to live out their dreams of playing baseball at the highest level. According to the ABCCL, players are more than willing to help out around the house, doing odd jobs like cutting lawns or cleaning pools, and are especially great as role models to younger children. The expectations of a host family are to provide housing for the player, and though not required, invitations to family meals are always welcome. Players will miss several meals a week due to practice and their four weekly games, and many of them also have summer jobs. The players have their own transportation to and from games and work. A weekly stipend may also be available to help ease the cost of housing a player. According to the ABCCL, the players are just college students with a dream and love of the game looking to enjoy a summer of baseball at the Jersey Shore. If interested or for more information, call Monique Koehler, ABCCL president, at 732-671-4370, or email monique@abccl.com.
