OCHS construction to be done on time
Dearborn tours school site, says building a merger of old and new
By MARY RUDLOFF
Ocean City Sentinei
OCEAN CITY - The new high
school project continues to take
shape, as what has so far been a
balmy autumn has allowed construction
crews to make significant
progress on the site.
A recent tour of the under-construction
building was like walking
a physical, timeline of. the
project, as areas of the building
range from barely under construction
to the point of painting,
tiling and readying for flooring.
Almost all of the building will
be "under roof" by the end of
November, according to-
Superintendent of Schools Dr.
Donald Dearborn, who conducted
the Oct. 31 tour. The last remaining
area, the gymnasiim where
cinderblock is still being put in
place, should be under roof by
mid-December, he explained.
A walk through the drderly construction
site showed? roomy 16foot
hallways -14 feel;- wide, once
lockers are in place - and classrooms
that will now all meet or
exceed state size requirements.
The structure includes three
courtyard areas of varying sizes.
Plans for those spaces are under
review to allow them to: become
part of the instructional program.
Dearborn said plans under consideration
include one being
devoted to science, one for literary
use including benches and
reading areas, and the largest
quad for instructional use,
including benches to seat entire
classes.
"We want these areas to be
more than just collectors of nothing,"
Dearborn explained. "We
want them to be used as part of
the instructional program."
Over what will be the building's
main entrance, facing Atlantic
Avenue, brick work continued
while some areas on the Fifth
Street side of the building were
being painted and having bathroom
tile installed.
• The floor plan of the school
groups all related academic and
support areas together, for ease
of use by staff, students and parents.
The building will house the
-district administrative offices,
currently in residence at 801
Asbury Avenue. Those offices are
accessible from Sixth Street or
through the main school building.
The gymnasium is only now
taking on its shape, the last area
of the building to be constructed.

OCEAN CITY - Command Master Chief Jim O'Neii, USCG, said it
was appropriate for Ocean City to hold its Veterans Day remembrance
at "1100 hours", he said, because 85 years earlier at bugle call was
sounded at 1100 hours (11 a.m.) to signal the end of World War I.
"For many years, buglers played taps at 1100 hours, and silence was
observed for two minutes afterward," O'Neii said.
O'Neii, an Ocean City resident, was the keynote speaker at Ocean
City's Veterans Day remembrance program. O'Neii spoke about the
history of Veterans Day, which is traced back to 1921, when an
unknown World War I American soldier was buried in Arlington
National Cemetery. Memorial gestures all took place on November 11,
giving universal recognition to the celebrated ending of World War I
fighting at 11 a.m., November 11,1918 (the 11th hour of the 11th day
of the 11th month). The day became known as "Armistice Day" in
America in 1926 through a congressional resolution. It became a
national holiday 12 years later by similar congressional action.

waiting.
Peggy isn't sure what the
future holds. She only knows that
in maybe a month or so her husband

"They told me to take one day
at a time," she says. "It's hard to
do."
Peggy and Katee, and Wayne,
for that matter, have been taking
one day at a time for more than a
month.
On Oct. 7, a clear day, the surf
was up off 10th Street, running
high, a little more choppy than
usual, but nice enough to attract
a crowd of local surfers on a
warm autumn afternoon.
Wayne, a veteran, experienced

Family, friends mourn Gerard Desiderio
By CHRISTOPHER SOUTH
Ocean City Sentinel
SEA ISLE CITY - Members of
the Sea ilsle City Volunteer
Ambulance Corps formed ranks
on the steps of St. Joseph Church,
Tuesday, standing at silent attention
as a 1 final tribute to their
friend and fellow corps member,
Gerard } : Desiderio Sr. As
Desiderib's casket passed,
between the ranks, an emergency*
dispatcher broadcast the "last
call for 45" - Desiderio's radio
call number.
"45 is 10-42,". the dispatcher's
voice sounded, using radio code
numbers to indicate that "45"
had expired.
A Sea Isle City ambulance now
bears the number 45, after it was
dedicated to Desiderio in honor
of his 10 years of service as EMT
and trustee to the ambulance
corps.
Several hundred other people
packed St. Joseph's for the funeral
mass for this former Cape May
County Regular Republican
Committee chairman, and until
his passing, Cape May County
Bridge Commission chairman,
who-passed away suddenly, Nov.
7, of an apparent heart attack.
Desiderio, 43, was the younger
brother of Sea Isle City mayor
and Cape May County
Freeholder Leonard C.
Desiderio. Desiderio's death
came as a shock to virtually
everyone who knew him as a gregarious,
friendly individual,
active in municipal affairs as well
as county politics. Supporters
and friends came from Cape May
•County and beyond to pay their
last respects to "G", as he was
sometimes called by those who
knew him well.
Hundreds of others filed into
the church on Monday, paying
respects and offering condolences
to the Desiderio family,
with the line extending out the
door and down Landis Avenue.
On Tuesday, the funeral service
was delayed by about 40 minutes
due to the large number of
mourners wishing to participate
in the viewing.
Irene Jameson, Sea Isle City
public relations director,
described the eulogy offered by
Desiderio's brother, "Lenny,"
"He praised his brother for his
own success," Jameson said. "He
said it was his brother, who
pushed him and encouraged him
in politics."
Leonard Desiderio described
his life with his brother from the
time he waited for Gerard to
come home from the hospital
after he' was born, and being
inseparable throughout their
lives, until marriage. Even- then,
the lives of the brothers were
closely intertwined, with the
older always looking out for the
younger, and vice versa.
"Lenny and Gerard were like
one name. That's the way people
said it," county administrator
Steve O'Connor said. "They are
like two parts of the same thing."
O'Connor became a childhood
friend of the Desiderio brothers,
and the three worked together on
political campaigns. O'Connor
described Gerard as the "pure
mechanic" - the operational management
guy.
"He had his feet on the ground,
and he knew people. He was a
pure people person," O'Connor
said.
"If you knew him, he touched'
everyone he met in a positive
way," O'Connor said. "Whatever
station you had in life, he made
you feel important."
"Gerard had a heart of gold. As
big as his body was, that was the
size of his heart," Sea Isle City
Commissioner James Iannone
said. "He always had a nice thing
to say."
Iannone said he was at a loss for
words to express his shock at
Desiderio's sudden death
"He was just a fixture here,"
Iannone'said. "It's a tremendous
loss for the family and for the
town.'
Asked what Desiderio meant to
the ambulance corps", Grace Felix
said, "There aren't words to
answer that."
Felix described Desiderio as
the most active member of the
ambulance corps, answering 50
percent of the calls. Felix said
when the corps purchased a new
ambulance, Desiderio traveled to
Ohio to bring it back.
"He did everything and anything,"
she said. "And he never
stopped. He will be sorely
missed."
Felix said in the eulogy, Len
Desiderio said it was thanks to
Gerard that the ambulance corps
got their new building.
"He never left the mayor
alone," Felix said.
Felix concluded, saying, "There
are nq words to describe what he
meant to us. I don't think there is
anyone who can fill his shoes. I
don't think there is.anyone who
has the time or the inclination."
Gerard A. Desiderio Sr. was
born in Nutley, N.J. of Leonard J.
and Carmel (Ferrara) Desiderio.
He was a 1978 graduate of Nutley
High School and Upsala College
in East Orange, N.J. Desiderio
was the owner and treasurer of
the Sea Isle Inn, L.G. McNutley's
NightClub, and Kix Package
Goods and Lounge.

For one Greek immigrant, Ocean City the place to live out a dream
By CHRISTOPHER SOUTH
Ocean City Sentinel
OCEAN CITY - Antonios
"Tony" Galiatsatos was walking
to his high school in Kefalonia,
Greece, on Nov. 22,1963, when he
noticed the Greek flag. on the
school grounds was at half-mast.
The students, who normally lined
up in ranks, were milling around.
"Why is the flag at half-mast,"
Galiatsatos asked.
"Someone killed Kennedy,"
another student replied. "There
is no school today."
All of the schools in Greece
were closed that day out of
respect for the American president.
"That's when I started thinking
about this country," Galiatsatos
said. "I'll never forget that feeling.
Kennedy was very popular in
Greece."
That was the first memory
Galiatsatos, born the youngest of
11 brothers in 1945, holds of
America. The next came when he
was taking a taxi to the airport to
fly to the United States, about five
years later.
"The taxi driver asked me
where I was going, and I said, 'To
America'," Galiatsatos said. "The
taxi driver told me, 'If you can't
make it in America, you can't
make it anywhere. If you can't
make it in American, you're no
good."
For Galiatsatos, "making it" has
always centered on his family.
"I invested all my money in my
Jkids," he said. "Greek parents
promote education."

Authority recognized;:. Upper
. Township for achieving a 50 per-
-.. cent recycling .rate ;for. the:past
six years.
Bridget O'Connor from the
CMCMUA said Upper Township
hit the 50 percent mark in 1997
and stayed there. At the same
time, the county has only managed
to recycle about a third of
its refuse.
"We've done a good job, but we
hit a plateau at 33 percent,"
O'Connor. "We would like to be
50 percent.'
Freeholder Director Dan
Beyel, a former committeeman
and mayor of Upper Township
said the township had a long history
of recycling.- He said the
township began a voluntary
recycling program in 1984, when
the road department collected
and marketed recyclables. The
township joined the CMCMUA
recycling program in 1988, collecting
recyclables from residents
and businesses and delivering
mixed paper and commingled
cans and bottles to the
CMCMUA's Intermediate
JProcessing Facility.
In 1991, Upper Township was
featured for its record setting
recycling and composting program
in a book produced by the
Institute for Local Self-Reliance
entitled "Beyond 40%".
"That title turned out to be
prophetic," Beyel said.

and the MUA, saying the
I program would not have worked
without the cooperation of both
the residents and the school system.

America. Left to right Maria, daughter Mimi and "Tony. Not pictured is son,
Nick.
two children - Mimi, who is
studying economics in England,
and Nick, who is a medical doctor
in Greece, and is preparing to
return to the United States in a
couple of years. Both were born
in the United States, and enjoy
dual citizenship. Nick graduated
from Lower Cape May Regional
High School, and Mimi from the
American Community School in
Athens, Greece. Tony and Maria,
who both came to this country not
speaking any English, are natu-
ralized U.S. citizens.
The journey to America, which
started with that taxi ride to the
airport, began in 1968, when
Tony decided to join his brother
Dennis working in a restaurant in
Philadelphia. In 1970, the brothers
moved to New Jersey, and in
1971 Tony returned to Greece to
marry Maria, just 15-and-a-half
at the time. Now in Ocean City,
Tony ran the Varsity Inn for a
year before operating the Sea
Horse restaurant and then the
County accepts O.C.refated
proposals
By CHRISTOPHER SOUTH
Ocean City Sentinel
CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE -
The Board of Chosen
Freeholders accepted a proposal
from the Lomax-Morey
Consulting firm for environmental
consulting services associated
with the proposed Ocean City
Dog Park and a project in
Middle Township.
• County engineer Dale Foster
.saidrmostof the:$29,450 authorized
for the consulting work - or
$22,655 - would be earmarked
for studies related to the Ocean
City project.
"This is the worst case scenario,"
Foster said.
According to Foster, the money
would only have to be spent if
the county had to go for a freshwater
wetlands permit.
"Hopefully we won't have to
get involved with that," Foster
said.
FaE's Best
If the project does not trigger
the need for the wetlands permit,
the county is looking at
spending about $7,000, or roughly
a third of what has been
authorized.
The freeholder board also
accepted a proposal from
Gannett Fleming, Inc., in the
amount of S96.200 for professional
engineering services
associated with the scour dam-age
repair to" Ocean' Drive
between^ -the" Rush Chattin
Bridge and the toll bridge at
Corson's Inlet. According to
Foster, there has damage associated
with waves striking the
road surface.
"What this is addressing is,
there has been a lot of debris
dumped there over the years,"
Foster said. "We're going to put
in some protection to keep the
road from eroding."
Foster said the total cost of the
project would be about $750,000.

Coral Sands' restaurant in Ocean
City, and later the restaurant at
the Olympic Motor Inn in
Wildwood Crest. The entire time,
he and Maria were learning
English on the job.
By 1987, with two children, the
Tony bought the Seen Islands
Restaurant in the Villas section of
Lower Township, which the family
ran for 14 years.
In 2002, the Galiatsatos family
returned to Ocean City when
Tony bought Romeo's Pizzeria on
8th and Wesley.
"I love Ocean City," Maria said.
"When I was down in Wildwood
and Villas, I wanted to come
back," Tony said. "I have Ocean
City in my heart. It's clean, quiet,
there's no alcohol - and most of
the people who come here are
families." :
Family, again, is talked about as
an important element of the
Galiatsatos 1 lives. They spend
about five months each, year visiting
family in the United States
and Greece. Tony explains the
extended vacation saying, "How
much can I work? For seven
months I work 15 hours a day."
He said his son, Nick, the doctor,
worries about their health.
Tony said his kids have been
blessed by being able to call two
countries "home," but it is hard
for the immigrant parents.
"When you know two countries,
it's hard," Tony said. "It's like
loving two women. Sometimes I
miss Greece."
Maria said most Greeks in
America do not sever their rela-
tionship with the homeland, but
on the contrary, do much to support
their native land.

"Greek people here do a lot for
Greece," she said.
Tony added, however, that com-
ing from another country has
allowed him to understand what
America has to offer.
"People who never left here,
don't know how good it is," he
said.

Psychiatric nurse has head for new business
By CHRISTOPHER SOUTH
Ocean City Sentinel
OCEAN CITY - Kate Skogland
Brinser is trained as a psychiatric
nurse, however, lately she
has been using her head to come
up with new types of businesses.
The creator of "Finders
Keepers," a summer, metal
detector rental business, Brinser
has recently developed "These
Walls Can Talk" - a business that
does a historical deed search on
your property and prepares it as
a decorative wall hanging.
Brinser works out of Atlantic and
Cape May Counties, visiting the
county clerks' offices where she
researches the records for any

pertinent information about your
property.
"I research as back as far as the
records will take me," Brinser
said. "I include all the information
the deed will tell me - the
names of the owners, if it was
owned by a couple, if the owner
was single, where they were
from, how much they paid on the
transfer date. It's funny sometimes
what they mention."
Brinser then takes a digital photograph
of your home, which she
uses to illustrate your property's
history.
"So you have not only a description,
but a picture of your property,"
she said.
The image of your home can be
an actual color photograph, black
and white, sepia tones, or made to
look like a watercolor painting.
Brinser also removes images in
the background or on the sides,
so that the image is of your house
alone. The text from the deed
search is inserted below the
image in attractive lettering. The
whole thing is then mounted in an
antique looking frame with the
customer's choice of matting.
Brinser said she got the idea for
this business when a friend of
hers had gutted his home and was
rehabilitating it. She prepared an
illustrated deed history for him
as a housewarming gift after the
renovation was complete.
The finished product costs
S200, and additional copies are
S75.
"I have finished about 10, and I
have four more in the works," she
said.
Brinser said she has been trying
to market her product directly
to bed and breakfasts, which
normally have historical buildings.
However, the home does
not have to be old to have a history
search done on the property,
Brinser said, because the deed
search is done on the property,
not what sits on it.
"I am targeting older properties,,
but I hope people would
know that just because structure
is new doesn't mean that the
property itself does not have a
history," she said.
Brinser said she is working on a
property, now, that has a new
building, but was on a plot of land
once owned by the Ocean City
Association. She said her search
would also include deed restrictions
from the original deed.
She is also marketing her product
to real estate agencies as a
settlement gift. Samples of her
work are available at Renoir's
Nephew in the 800 block of
Asbury Avenue, and at Woodland
Gardens on Route 9. She also
hopes people would see the illustrated
deed search as a nice
Christmas gift, especially for

O.C. poetry group gets new home
By CHRISTOPHER SOUTH
Ocean City Sentinel
OCEAN CITY - A group of local
poets in search of a venue has
once again found a home at the
Ain't We Sweet restaurant at 11th
Street and Bay Avenue.
"We're very thankful to Barry
and Melody that we have a
venue," said Bud Cole, the
group's organizer. "Not many
people have welcomed us."
Cole, local poet of some repute,
has been working to keep live
poetry readings a regular event
in Ocean City. Cole, along with
fellow poet Dan Histon, have
been trying to continue a tradition
that began
with the former
Poetry Spoken
group, formed by
Angela Reilly,
which appeared
twice monthly at
the Red Rooster
Cafe. The group
was displaced
when the business
was sold, and relocated
for a time at
the Bayside
Center. After
rehabilitation
work started at
the Bayside
Center, the Poetry
•Spoken group»disbanded
for laej: of |
a meeting place.
While looking for
a meeting place,
Cole has invited
fellow poets to
perform in down-1
town Ocean City
during Evenings
on Asbury, a summer
program of
entertainment for
downtown shoppers.
Cole also
organized a group to read poetry
during the recent Art Walk on
Asbury Avenue.
However, with the doors being
opened at Ain't We Sweet, the yet
unnamed group has a venue, at
last. The next goal is to attract a
crowd.
"We've been beating the bushes
trying to get more attendance,"
Cole said.
Cole has been a little disappointed
with the attendance since
the group began its live poetryreadings
on Oct. 8, but he is definitely
not discouraged.
"There is a growing community
of writers in Cape May County -
living or working here," he said.
"People were asking me when
are we going to get poetry going
again."
Asked why people would be
interested in hearing poetry
being read, Cole said, "Because
poetry comes alive when it is spoken.
I self-publish a lot of chat
books and have them out there,
but there is just something totally
different about hearing poetry -
especially if you have someone
who appreciates it and reads it
well - it is just a totally different
animal."
Cole.delivered an unintentional
pun, saying that poetry on the
printed page is rather "flat."
According to-Cole, a lot of people
write poetry, which is a passive
activity, but poetry readings
are active - and even interactive.
Poets, especially those who read
well, get instant feedback and
gratification by reciting their
poetry in front of a group.
Likewise, the group benefits
from hearing what other people
have written.
"We share. And I know when I
hear certain people read, they
read it so well, it's inspiring to go
and write more," Cole said. "I
have seen people taking notes,
which is fine."
Cole said when this group gets
together, he is sure
the listeners are
entertained, educated,
and perhaps
enlightened by what
they hear. He said
not all the poetry that
is read is written by
amateurs. Most poets
will bring favorite
poems written by
their favorite poets.
"What people hear
will make them
laugh, hopefully educate
them, and they
will hear other, wellknown
poets' work,"
he said. "You can't
get this experience
anywhere else."
Cole said some of
the strong points of
the group are the fact
that listeners will
hear a variety of
poets, in a coffeehouse
atmosphere,
rather than a lengthy
presentation of only
one poet's work. In
addition, for those
who wish to read,
they will find they
have a very supportive
audience.
Poetry readings are held at the
Ain't We Sweet restaurant, at
11th and Bay, on the second and
fourth Wednesday of the month,
from 7 to 9 p.m. The poetry reading
is free and open to the public.
Christopher South/Ocean City
Sentinel
At far top, Bud Cole and Lauren
Taylor, read their poetry at the
Ocean City poetry group. The
group relocated to Ain't We Sweet
restaurant at I Ith Street and Bay
Avenue.
Refreshments are available.
Cole summed up his feelings
about the group saying, "I hope to
get a packed house, and get people
who are not necessary fans of
poetry so we can show them what
fun we can have."

COMMENTARY
Thanks, veterans
Put all political differences aside
to recognize contribution
In this increasingly hostile political
climate, Americans should be able to
put aside their petty differences to
honor this nation's veterans the year
round.
For a day, in ceremonies like those in
Ocean City and other communities
around the area and the nation this
week, that happens. Local residents
come together to collectively wrap
their hearts and minds around the
sacrifice we ask of fellow citizens who
serve in the armed forces.
And then Veterans' Day passes and
the veterans are largely forgotten
again. More to the point, the civility
between Americans passes.
America would not be standing free
and strong in 2003 was it not for what
happened more than half a century
ago, in World War II, when Americans
of all creeds, colors, religions and
political affiliations acted as one to
help save the world. We have dubbed
the people who rose to the occasion
the "Greatest Generation" because of
Jfte collective and selfless sacrifice
•that has not been seen since. It is in
this generation that exist the elder
^statesmen from whom we should be
Peeking guidance. The generation that
we hold in such high regard is comprised
of a broad mix of liberals and
conservatives and everything in
between, who can still lay claim to
ignoring their differences in pursuit
of a higher cause.
Today, separating ourselves along
party and ideological lines seems,
sadly, to be the higher cause.
Much of the blame for this belongs
to parts of the national media - mimicked
by regional and even local
media - that have become increasing-

Political parties
To the Editor:
Some newspapers felt the need to
endorse an Elephant or Donkey before
the recent election. Most of these
endorsed critters were elected to become
I our latest batch of lawmakers. This pattern
has been going on for a long, long
time and our social, environmental and
spiritual problems have only gotten
worse.
Now is the time for these newspapers
that make these endorsements to report
on how their Elephants and Donkeys
govern. Do they serve the people's interests
or the big money interests?
What I learned as an Independent State
Senate candidate is that, once elected,
these "representatives" serve their
clients: corporate, union and PAC contributors.
Public service is not even on
their radar screen.
The only possible solution is real campaign
finance reform that allows candidates
to limit contributions to individuals
only and on return "clean money"
appears next to their name on the ballot.
Without this, our society is lost.

ly strident and ignorant, doing their
best to split America asunder under
the guise of patriotism.
In one of the oddest ironies, some of
the meanest and hard-talking pundits
on TV and the airwaves, who have no
qualms determining who is a patriot
and who is not, are some of the people
who hid from military service themselves.
We can find no greater
hypocrisy than these people audacious
enough to criticize veterans as
unpatriotic because they have the
wrong political affiliation or philosophy.
That's cowardice.
They seem to forget that in hostile
terrain, enemies see only Americans
brave enough to wear the uniform. No
one shooting at U.S. soldiers cares
about what party they belong to or
their race or their religion. When
Americans put on the uniform of their
country, they represent something we
should all agree is special - this nation
and the freedom it represents.
When Americans look at those who
don the uniform, we should think first
and foremost about the sacrifice those
servicemen and women have agreed
to make. We should think of those who
came before them and pledged to
make their own sacrifice and those
who will follow them.
The freedom those in uniform have
preserved - and continue to preserve -
allows all of us the right to speak and
say what we feel. Before anything
else, when we look at our soldiers and
sailors, our Marines and airmen, our
National Guardsmen and Coast
Guard, we want to say we feel proud
of you. Thank you for your service to
our country. That speaks volumes
about who you are.

meaning of
Thanksgiving
To the Editor:
What do we think about as we are
approaching Thanksgiving Day' this
year? Our nation America has been
greatly blessed by Almighty God. We
have our bountiful harvests, many other
blessings and most of all our dearly loved
freedom bought at a very high cost.
Some historians refer to St. Augustine
and Jamestown but we should think
about the Pilgrims who fled England
because of religious persecution to worship
God according to the dictates of
their hearts.
There were 104 passengers on the ship
Mayflower, first landing at Provincetowri
and then settling at Plymouth. That first
winter cut their number in half.
While on the ship they, the 40 men
signed what is known as the "Mayflower
Compact," setting up a colony for themselves.
This was one of our nation's most
important early documents, forerunner
of our Constitution.
In the fall of 1621 having built their
houses and ready to harvest their crops,
thanks to the aid of the Indians who
showed them how to plant their corn,
King Massasoit with some 90 men came
for three days. The Indians had killed
five deer besides the fowl the Pilgrims
had taken. This feasting involved the
preparation of unusually large quantities
of food. Only four of their married
women had survived the great sickness
and only five of the teenage girls. These
women must have worn themselves
ragged trying to feed all these people.
Tribute must be paid to these women for
without all their hard work this feasting
would not have been possible yes even
the success of the colony rested largely
in their most capable and devoted hands.
The Indians showed their skill in running,
jumping, wrestling and dances.
Also their art with the bows and arrows.
Pilgrim Myles Standish put bis little
army through their military drill. The
Indians were amazed to learn that the
white men could play games not unlike
their own. There was peace between the
Indian and the white man which lasted
more than 50 years.
From such small beginnings our
American form of government was born,
so let us give God much thanks for these
freedoms we enjoy.

To the Editor:
At the October 28 Ocean City council
meeting, a member of the mayor's revenue
committee reported on the committee's
"thinking outside of the box" on
suggested creative ways to improve the
city's revenue stream without additional
taxation.
In the presentation, it was recommended
by the revenue committee that
consideration be given to the following:
1. Leasing of retail kiosks at the
Boardwalk Street ends; 2. Developing
space above municipal parking lots for
retail or other use and, finally, 3.
Entering into public/private partnerships
for the management of city facilities,
as well as consolidating other city
properties and facilities.
I understand the; committee was
formed to identify sources of revenue to
add additional money to the .• ever
increasing city budget. By suggesting
this method of providing additional revenue
sources the committee and the
elected officials could safely state that
"no increase in taxes" was the result of
selling portions of the city.
Perhaps instead of trying to raise revenue,
the committee should have been
charged with ways to reduce operational
costs which include — salaries, fringe
and retirement benefits including medical
and pharmaceutical plans.
When large corporations have budget
problems the first thing they do is have
a reduction in force (RTF). If this doesn't
stop the bleeding they; then look at
benefit programs that initially appeared
to be sound and practical. The reason
they take these drastic step is to escape
bankruptcy. They find it necessary to
reduce both staff and the retirement
benefit package to remain solvent.
The private sector does not have the
luxury to either tax or as the revenue
committee recommends "put the city for
sale."
Perhaps in its zeal the revenue committee
can go one step further and find a
buyer for the entire city, then the city
can have-a name such as the Wachovia
Center or the Qualcom Stadium. This
should satisfy everyone. By going this
route the city would not have to look for
ways and means to reduce costs as recommended
by the state auditors from
the Division of Local Government in
their annual report.
As a result of "selling the city" the
elected officials and city staff can continue
to enjoy the largesse in salaries
and retirement benefits that most of the
taxpayers and property owners of Ocean
City do n&t have.

ANOTHER VIEW
WHITHER DEMOCRACY?
BY KlMBALL BAKER
September 11 gave us as Americans a
tremendous opportunity to reevaluate
ourselves, our country, and our place in
the world. Many of us were taking
advantage of that opportunity.
We were seeking to revitalize our
basic values. And we were seeking to
apply those values to improving the
lives of other Americans and to increasing
understanding among people from
different nations and belief systems.
Suddenly, this window of opportunity
was slammed shut, by our own president.
He abruptly shifted our focus
from battling global terrorism to battling
one nation, Iraq.
Did he make sure the American people
were behind him as he engineered
this shift? No. The people and their
elected representatives are no longer
major factors in whether America goes
to war. .A president can now take us
there on his own hook.
That's a dangerous-enough development
by itself. But the way it happened
was even worse.
The president substituted a tangible,
violent objective for the American people's
post-9/llsearch for a positive,
spiritual objective. Many Americans
were, at that very moment, exploring
ways of being against terrorism by
being for strengthening lives and cooperation
at home and abroad.
This means that what he did, above
all, is to attempt to change the kind of
country I believe we are.
Are we as Americans really about
making undeclared war on another
nation for the first time in our history?
Abtmt acting violently and unilaterally
on the international scene?
About implementing democracy in
another country instead of letting that
country's citizens democratically
determine their own destiny?
About dividing our own nation
because our leadership has proceeded
divisively? ' ?
About spending billions of dollars oh
empire-building planned before 9/11,
when we could be responding to that
wake-up call by spending billions on
better health, education, and welfare
for truly needy people here and elsewhere?
About taking bites and then gulps out
of our civil liberties?
About equating patriotism with a controversial
and poorly-conceived government
policy?
I believe that Americans are largely
about other things, and that if we
become too much about these things,
we do more to anger and embolden terrorists
than to halt them. And we turn
our country into a place where some
citizens, including a few in positions of
power, find it too.easy to practice a
form of terrorism themselves, a terrorism
which sets Americans one against
another. ; .
The misdeeds of McCarthyism are too
close to the memories of too many
Americans for this nation to have a rerun
of that episode in our history.
How did we get to a place where
there's so much at risk'for America and

quality problems found at the
primary school.
That is the information from
Superintendent of Schools
Frederick Donatucci to a letter
sent home to parents about the
mold issue. The letter, dated Nov.
4, follows reports in the Ocean
City Sentinel last month about
the high level of mold spores
found in air quality tests done in
early September.
Some parents have said that,
while they appreciate the school
district's letter, it came too late.
"I am disappointed that I first
learned about the mold problem
by reading about it in an Ocean
City Sentinel article," Karen
Larson said. "I understand notification
of parents was not
required at any time, but that left
our administrators with a choice,
and they chose not to inform parents."
There is no law at a local, state
or federal level that requires

Thomas Beesley was the son of Jonathan Beesley
of the First Battalion of the Cumberland County
Militia. In an encounter near Haddonfield during
the retreat from Philadelphia by Sir Henry
Clinton's forces, he was fatally wounded. Each of
the captain's four sons were bound out to a different
family after the captain's death.

MacNatt's Oct. 2 report stated
that the problem with the air conditioning
system was "introducing
a vast amount of moisture or
mold spores into an estimated 24

recommendations for correcting
the mold problems in the school
focused on HVAC units in addition
to the classroom cleaning.
Larson said that, while she is
concerned about the mold and air

school, she is happy with the district.
"I never wanted to overreact
about this problem, but after
reading the actual reports and
recommendations of both environmental
groups hired by the
school district, I am convinced
there is a real issue with air quality
in our school," Larson said. "I

Elvis all in a day's work at Claridge
For one dedicated entertainer, it's good to be The King
By ERIC AVEDIS5IAN
Ocean City Sentinei
ATLANTIC CITY - James
Lowrey remembers when he was
13 years old, gazing up at the
stars at night at his family's
Tampa, Fla. home and thinking
about a better life.
Growing up poor, he had one
desire - to perform on stage like
his idol, Elvis Presley.
. For Lowrey, 39, his dream
became reality. He portrays Elvis
in Legends in Concert, currently
playing at the Claridge Casino in
Atlantic City, one of the highestpaid
venues for impersonating
Elvis.
Elvis Presley is the one constant
in a changing universe.
Years after his death, you can
still hear his music and see the
impersonators on stages and
lounges across America. You see
the rhinestone-studded white
jumpsuits and black sideburns
and aviator-style sunglasses and
hear the melodic "Love Me
Tender" or rip-roaring
"Jailhouse Rock."
When modern rock and bubblegum
pop are long gone, you'll
still see Elvis impersonators
swiveling and gyrating to
"Hound Dog," or crooning "Can't
Help Falling in Love."
What gives Elvis Presley lasting
staying power is his impact
on the popular culture, Lowrey
said.
"Elvis transcends just the
music. I think he's imbedded in
the subconscious mind of
America. Elvis didn't come along
and just have hit records. Elvis
came along and he changed the
way people see things," Lowrey
said. "He changed the way people
dressed. When he came out,
no one was wearing their hair
and sideburns like that. Today
you would call what he wore back
then retro. He was the one that
wore the pinks and greens and
different colors on men, which
back then it was black and gray
and white and Elvis came along
and gave America some color."
Lasting Impression
Lowrey said he related to Elvis'
upbringing in poverty in the
South. Lowrey was born in
Tennessee and moved to Tampa,
Fla. as a youth with his family.
"I think with the struggles my
family suffered, it made me look
to Elvis as an inspiration,"
Lowrey said.
He remembers seeihgr Elvis for
the first time on television, during
the famous 1968 comeback
special, on Dec. 3, 1968. It was
the first time Presley performed
in front of an audience since
1961.
"My whole family being from
Tennessee and from the south
they all liked Elvis. I had an aunt
and uncle who loved him,"
Lowrey said.
It was his uncle, who had early
Elvis record albums from the
1950s, who fostered an appreciation
for Elvis' music. Lowrey said
he'd go over his uncle's house
and listen to his uncle's records.
When he was ten years old,
Lowrey's uncle gave him the
record collection.
For a singer with exceptional
range and talent, Lowrey had no
formal vocal training. He learned
singing much the same way Elvis
«did - -singing in church and to
record albums, learning to hit the
right notes and pitch and developing
a sense of harmony.
"I walked around the house my
mother said for a month singing
Hound Dog until I learned another
Elvis song," Lowrey said.
He started doing talent shows
after he received his Uncle's
Elvis albums and started collect-
ing other Elvis records on his
own.
Elvis Sighting
For Lowrey, it was an experience
most Elvis impersonators
can't claim they had - the rare
privilege of seeing Elvis Presley
in concert.
It was on Sept. 2, 1976 in
Tampa, 11 months before Elvis
died.

According to Lowrey, there are
Elvis fans and there are the
impersonators. Lowrey said he's
in both categories, however, most
members of the impersonator
category aren't viewed highly by
Elvis fans. Lowrey said most of
these impersonators wind up
doing characitures of Elvis and
not accurate re-creations.

Ocean City High School's Student Newspaper
A Halloween Article in November? Cox Cubed
On Thurday, October 30,
Ocean City hosted its annual Halloween
parade. Even though the
parade officially started at 7:00,
Asbury Avenue was filled with
people before 6:30. Some were
busy buying glow necklaces and
hot chocolate while others were
being entertained by various
cheerleading and dance squads.
Everyone, however, was anticipating
the start of this year's festivities.
Ocean City High School
was represented by many groups
of people in the parade, starting
off with the OCHS Marching Band.
Miss Sunshine Foundation,
Alexandra and Victoria Marcus,
were in the parade, as well as Miss
Ocean City. Also, towards the beginning
of the parade, was the
school's Miss Pumpkin float.
Meghan Carza was crowned Miss
Pumpkin this year after teachers
and the junior class voted on who
they thought was most worthy.
She was chosen from all of the jun-
iors in OCHS for being a respectful
and knowledgeable student.
In addition to Ocean
City's band and floats were many
others, such as Mainland's Marching
Band and the Hobo Band.
People additionally saw Ocean
City Beach Patrol in a life boat during
the parade. Of course
Domino's Mystery Person disguised
in the infamous gorilla costume
also made an appearance.
As always, the parade
consisted of floats from the town's
restaurants and businesses, like
the Chatterbox, Shriver's, and
Bubba Mac's. Mobil Gas Station
created a float with a Disney theme
starring a few of OCHS's friendly
faces, including Rachel Addis and
Caroline Rash. Many radio stations
also appeared in the parade,
such as Lite Rock 96.9 and Cat
Country 107.3. This year's parade
was another perfect start to a great
Halloween in Ocean City. —Ashley

OCHS Welcomes Student Teacher
High school students are
not the only ones learning at
Ocean City High School these
days. Mrs. Marta Padula has welcomed
the student teacher Miss
Cindy Leathers into her classroom
this year. Miss Leathers, who grew
up in Downingtown, Pennsylvania,
studied at The College of New
Jersey for three years upon transferring
into Stockton to earn her
Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics
and teaching certification. First
teaching Pre-Calculus and now
Calculus, she says, "I can think of
no betterprofession.. .Not only do
We all love Halloween, but there are those among us
who just take it too far...
As the transcendent
words of Moby's "Extreme Ways"
blare into my ears, I am confident
enough to speak on a rather sensitive
subject. No, this so-called
sensitive subject is not Iraq, the
Liberal Press, 9-11, or the new
partial birth abortion ban. In fact,
this isn't even a subject that
greatly affects the world we live
in. However, when mentioned, it
sparks hatred, tears, and in some
cases death. Inquisitive'minds
may be trying to guess what I
could possibly be talking about,
and so, without further adieu,
here we go...
Okay, I am seventeen
years old, hardly old enough to
be getting movie discounts or
senior breakfast specials but old
enough to know, well, at least
have an opinion about Halloween.
To my understanding, Halloween
is the one special night of the year
when the younger members of our
community, and I emphasize the
"younger," dress up and retrieve
candy from defenseless home
owners who look to keep in gdod
standing within the neighborhood.
I believe that this is a good
thing. What I don't believe is a
good thing is the fact that there
are seniors in high school who go
trick-or-treating. If you are old
enough to operate a motor vehicle
or indeed have a license to do so,
you are far past your candy-stealing
days. Want to create the trickor-treating
effect without all the
walking? Here is my advice: drive
to the nearest Wawa or Tuckahoe
Junction, buy some of your favorite
candy, chill at home with 66 of
your closest friends, and watch
Monty Python or whatever tickles
your fancy.
I know many teenagers
don't want to give up the tradition,
but the time has come to step
aside and let the little ones have a
turn. Besides, you don't look so
cute, as believable, or as cool as a
five-year old in a Jason mask.
Conversely, there is no substitute
for those courageous eighth
graders who know that this is
their last time to go out without
guilt leaking hi and to transform
themselves completely with the
cardboard box and aluminum foil
robot costume. I applaud you.
I'll freely admit that I am
a nerd. Last Friday night I happily
sat at home and gave out
candy to the young'ins of the
greater Upper Township area
while my peers ran amuck
throughout the streets collecting
their poison. Seeing all the Harry
Potters and witches made me smile
and remember when I could be so
free to dance in the streets, thinking
of nothing but Reese's Peanut
Butter Cups and the high
schoolers who lurked on the corner
and threatened to take my
candy. The early 90s was a magical
time. A time of Nirvana, The
Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer's
Blue Album, and my trick-or-treating
experiences. But like these
great bands of the past, trick-ortreating
got old and I moved on.
Now, I am the scary kid at the door
who gets between you and your
beloved Milk Duds. I greatly respect
those who refuse candy to
teens or give them pencils. It is a
child's holiday and obviously
they are no longer children. So
guys just give it up and put the
masks away. Halloween, as far as
trick-or-treating, is over for you,
and you know what? A lot of
lights are off, including mine.
I get to help students learn to use
their brains, but I get the pleasure
of interacting with all different
types of students". Miss Leathers
will be certified in grades 7-12;
her favorite subject areas being
Algebra, Geometry, and Calculus.
During her time at OCHS
so far, she believes one of her most
interesting experiences has been

"Saturday Night Live" and rewarded

Ah, the electric guitar. Is
there a sexier instrument in the entire

spends up to $3000 on, but guitars
are one of them. It is the mother of
rock and roll. A guitar can cover
any musical ground you want it to,
it can scream, whisper, bounce,
groove, and perhaps that's why so
many people pick one up and try
to pursue their rock and roll
dreams.
If there is one problem
with the guitar, it is that last thing I
mentioned, anyone can try to play
it, and that presents the ever growing
problem of terrible guitarists
and song writers. They have been
there for years, and they seem to
be growing in recent years. However,
there are a number of guitarists
out there that know all that the
guitar has to offer, and some musicians
are still finding new ways to
play. So without further adieu I
present to you:
Joe's Top 5 Modern Rock Guitarist
(Note: I stress the word MODERN
because there are countless classic
rock players that would blow
every modern player out of the
water, i.e. Jimmy Page, Duanne
Alknan, and David Gillmore. I
stress ROCK because there are
hundreds of Jazz players, i.e. John
McGIuaclin, and Jango Reindhardt
who could do the same.)

5. Robert Randolph - Robert
Randolph and the Family Band
1. Tom Morello - The modem master
of the guitar sounds. Tom, the
politically active Harvard graduate,
re-invented the way people look
at the guitar. He can make his guitar
produce sounds no one before
him thought possible. Using only
a few greasy old pedals, he blends
classic rock licks that are ungodly
catchy and rocking, with far out
sounds that range from D.J.
scratching, to a helicopter flying
over head. Possibly the best thing
to happen to the guitar in the
1990's. (Essential Recording:
"Bulls On Parade" off the 1995 Evil
Empire)
2. Kurt Cobain-I couldn't bear to
leave this musical martyr off the
list. He was not the most incredible
technical player, but he was a
songwriting visionary. In the early
nineties when there was an abundance
of pop and glam rock, Kurt
came along and made rock and roll
dirty and dangerous again. There
are infinite positive words written
about this left handed god, but I
don't think anything really captures
what Kurt and Nirvana were
about except music. (Essential
Recording: although a cover song:
"Where Did You Sleep Last Night"
off 1994 MTV Unplugged.)
3. John Frusciate - One thing that
is definitely missing from modem
rock today is a sense of funk. John
Frusciante is doing all he can, to
change that. Instead of constantly
succumbing to distortion, or playing
only the low notes on the guitar,
John rocks out by playing fast,
funky, clean chords. John
Frusciante was an-on-again-offagain
member of the Peppers (he
quit for about 8 years, which included
a trip to rehab to kick
The latest addition to our
delightful high school staff is Mrs.
Heather Cox. She is our new
Graphics teacher, who attended
OCHS eleven years ago. Mrs. Cox
grew up in Ocean City and always
aspired to become a teacher at her
high school.
Mrs. Cox attended the
University of Arts of Philadelphia
and majored in Photography.
Throughout her high school experience,
Mrs. Cox has always
wished to major in art. Our very
own Ms. Dombrosky and Mrs.
Mulford were her first inspiration.
Ms. Cox feels that both teachers
helped motivate and encourage
her towards the arts.
Her first teaching job has
so far been a new and wonderful
experience. Mrs. Cox currently
teaches Graphics One and Advanced
Graphics. She loves all of
her students, although they are
more challenging than she first expected.
As of now, Mrs. Cox has
noticed two students with exceptional
talent. The first student is
Chelsea Reto, who completely
blows her away. Mike Mitchell is
the other, about whom Mrs. Cox
said, "You have to pry the work
out of him, but it's good stuff." So
far, Mrs. Cox feels that all the teachers
and students have helped her
feel welcomed to OCHS once
again.

last five years or so and is only
getting better with age. He's an
amazing soloist, terrific songwriter,
underrated vocalist, and easily one
of the greatest performers I have
ever had the privilege to see live.
(Essential Recording: You'll never
get the real Frusciante experience
until you see him live, but one of
his best studio tracks is "Sideways
Falling" off the 2002 Bye the Way)
4. Johnny Greenwood / Ed O 'Brien
— Johnny and Ed might be the two
mostunique musicians in the world
right now. They don't just break
down walls; they tear them down
with reckless abandonment. Although
Johnny plays virtually any
instrument you can imagine, his
primary toy is the guitar. He writes
songs that make you feel exactly
the way he feels. Anger, longing,
love, beauty, that's kind of what
Radiohead is all about. Ed plays a
lot of rhythm and does all the cool
sounds you hear on any
Radiohead song. Johnny sometimes
overshadows him, but without
Ed, Radioh'ead wouldn't be
half as good as they are. And with
singer Thom Yorke complimenting
these licks with his touching and
unique vocals, Radiohead pulls
away as the best rock band in the
world. (Essential Recording:

of styles, subjects and media.
Oils, watercolors, pencil, ink and
multimedia works fill the gallery
walls with often surprising
modes of expression.
I viewed the show shortly
before it was hung but before
there was time to prepare a
prospectus. This does not necessarily
represent a liability, as the
work could be judged on its own
merit without influencing me
unduly concerning the identity of
the artist or title of the work.
Each work spoke for itself and, in
many cases, spoke volumes.
There are a few photographs in
the show and some fine examples
of the photo realist style among
the paintings.
Some of the paintings are
signed in legible script, but a
number are signed with some
undecipherable doctor's prescription
scrawl. The paintings
were, however, of high quality
which obviated the need for signature.
One of the works was a
retro work in black and while
that was actually an illustration
of the type seen regularly in the
best magazines during the early

based. The painting is a gem
regardless.
Kim Weiland's painting of a
portion of Ocean City's Ninth
Street bridge is a fine atmospheric
piece typical of Weiland's
work. Another striking rendering
of a Shetland pony in oil showed a
mastery of the medium and considerable
compositional flair, but
was unsigned. I later learned it
was the creation of Art Center
board member Ellen Gavin.
Another impressive effort was a
watercolor of an unidentifiable
lighthouse that showed a sure
knowledge of elliptical perspective.
Drawing is the usual downfall
of many artists attempting to
paint coastal sentinels. The work
carried one of those difficult signatures.
P. Dittmer's rendition in
aquarelle of a blue heron shows
marvelous watercolor technique
and a sure knowledge of ornithology.
A highly detailed oil of a
pickup truck nosed into a waterside
shack looks like a spot along
Delaware Bay, and was simply
signed "Roberta."
Phyllis C. London's watercolor
of a ramshackle pier with roosting
gulls is a nice loosely painted
watercolor while G.
Hendrickson's sanguine pencil
rendition of a guitar playing cowboy
is an example of sensitive
drawing with three dimensional
qualities which bring the cowpoke
to life. Nancy Montiero's
photo-realist oil of a child and
dog is skillful and indicates persistent
patience. A watercolor of
an obscure lane in an ancient
town by Ellen Strack is done with
excellent technique and an
impressionist style. Fury
Feraco's composition of vertically
arranged crab shells shows
great compositional knowledge.
The December show will, as
usual, feature paintings by
youngsters with a holiday theme
and artifacts which would make
fun ornaments and jewelry. Visits

Jazzed for Cape
May festival
By ED WISMER
Ocean City Sentinel critic
CAPE MAY - From the very
beginning, the Cape May Jazz
Festival brought the finest available
jazz performers and made
this Victorian town really swing.
The current show may have
been the best so far, as all vent
ties were packed.
Welcoming remarks thanking
sponsors and honoring founders
Carol Stone and Woody
Woodland opened the 20th session
of Cape May Jazz Festival.
An appearance by Governor
James McGreevey and his twoyear
old daughter Jacqueline
gave the festival special cache.
The governor made a few brief
remarks but spent most of his
onstage time in pursuit of his
daughter who was working the
crowd like a pro.
Things got off to a roaring start
on Friday night, when the jazzy
horde piled into Convention Hall
to hear Maynard Ferguson's Big
Bop Nouveau Band. The master
of trumpet high notes is still
capable, even at an advanced
age and the Big Bop Nouveau
Band was very big in sound.
When Ferguson walked out playing
his characteristic high notes,
he was met with a roar of recognition
from the capacity crowd.
He opened with the old standard
"I Want to Be Happy," foUowed
by "Ain't No Sunshine" and a
bossa nova beat "Girl from
Ipanema." Adding in
"MacArthur Park" and a medley
of Ferguson's greatest hits and
the big weekend was off to a
grand start, with the show ending
with

"Everybody Needs Somebody,

Jazz Expressions, gave him per-

extremely effective on sax and
flute while Hilliard Greene,
Dwayne Broadnax and Jonothan
Regen provided a super rhythm
section.
Saturday began in the morning
with jazz workshops all over
town and by noon, the Saturday
Jams began with pre-jams at
Carney's two rooms, the Blue
Jam at Cabanas and a new
"Blues Event" at Savannah Key.
The pre-jam at Carney's main
room featured the Philadelphia
Clef Club Student Ensemble,
directed by Lovett Hines. To me,
this year's stars were guest
I
artist Barbara Yates and a flutist
with the single name of Camilla.
The entire ensemble is excellent
musicians. In Carney's Other
Room, Cape May's own Geno
White, Chick Regan and Jerry
Ramos presided.
The main jams followed with
special invited guests Lenny
Roberts, Winston Byrd, Freddy
Hendrix and Reggie Watkins.
The list should have included
the irrepressible Barbara
Walker, who knocked the crowd
out with her rendition of "At
Last" and "One Eyed Man." The
casts of both jams traveled from
one room to another at Carney's,
making it possible for all to
enjoy the shows without missing
a beat.
Saturday's sundown brought a
CD-signing party at Congress
Hall and "Pieces of a Dream" .at
Convention Hall. Oscar Brown
Jr. was greeted by a huge crowd
at the Grand Hotel while others
caught Papa John and Joey
DeFrancesco with their twin
electronic organs at the Star of
the Sea gym. Joey doubled on
trumpet and he and Papa John
joined on vocals. Perennial festival
favorites like Brian Trainor,
Jeannie Brooks and Tim
Eyermann held forth at the
Corinthian Yacht Club while others
were at a dizzying array of
venues.
Sunday's pre-jam featured the
"Red Hot Swingin Johnsons"
with Nic Gaetano and an octet of
players in the main room while
the other room was jumping
with the Eleazar Shafer Quintet.
Both Eleazar and brother
Tyrone have become a mainstay
of the festival

CONFUSING NAMES
No one in the wine business has ever been accused of making wine drinking more consumer
friendly. The enjoyment of wine has always involved a basic
understanding of wine grapes and geography. .However, anyone
who uses the term syrah should definitely be required to do some
explaining! Syrah, Shiraz, Petite Sirah, and Durif are all red grapes
that are used to make dry, red wines. Although the wines may sound
the same, they are not identical. Red wines made from Syrah are
generally medium-bodied and dry. California Syrah, popularized by
California's Rhone Rangers, is usually a wine that has a considerable
amount of tannins. France's most famous Syrah comes from
the Northern Rhone region. They carry the names of the towns of
Hermitage and Cote-Rotie.These ageable reds are some of the wine world's most famous
and collectible wines. In South Africa and Australia, Syrah is called Shiraz. As far as anyone
can tell, Shiraz and Syrah are the same grape. However, the style of wine is quite different.
The wines of South Africa and Australia often emphasize the jarnmy fruit that the
Syrah grape can yield. Although the wines are delicious, they can be quiet different from
their French and California counterparts. Petite Sirah is a grape that was commonly used
in California. It has fallen out of favor with most winemakers. It is a completely different
grape from Syrah or Shiraz. Scientific tests revealed that some petite Sirah was identical
to an obscure French grape called Durif. The wines from these grapes tend to be hearty,
somewhat tannic red wines. Without question, wine names can be awfully confusing.
Whether it is called Syrah or Shiraz, the wines are often delicious.

Lady Raider runners win SJ sectional
By CHARLIE WOOD
Ocean City Sentinel
Results of the girls Group III South
Jersey cross country sectional last
Saturday, Nov. 8 on the Delsea course,
couldn't have been more conclusive.
"There was no doubt who was*going to
take Group III," said Ocean City cocoach
Bruce Welch. "Our kids didn't
leave any doubt."
The Ocean City Lady Raiders took the
South Jersey championship easily as
they placed their five counters in the top
15 led by sophomore Brittany Sedberry,
who ran a personal record time of 17:55
on the Delsea course to finish first by
about 300 yards.
Ocean City's total of 41 points left a
comfortable margin from second place
Moorestown's 67 points.
Moorestown has flip-flopped back and
forth between Group II and Group III in
recent years, and has won six straight
sectional titles in one group or the other.
Last year Moorestown won the Group III
title with 33 points,, and Ocean City was
second with 68 points.
But last year as a freshman Sedberry
won the individual sectional champi-

Mustangs roll over Vineland
Continued from page Bl
Vineland likes to use its lightning
speed.
"When Robert Weiss went
down, they all got better, they
came together," Mainland coach
Bob Coffey said of his defense.
"It was great team defense."
Team defense was a key for
Mainland, and within that defensive
scheme was a very scary
pass rush and punt rush.
Mainland sacked Castillo three
times. Weiss got the first, and
then Larry Randour and Justin
Cottrell teamed up for two more.
In the process Cottrell tied the
Mainland career record for
sacks. Cottrell also scored two
touchdowns, which gives him 60
points for the season.
"We had a game plan," he said.
"We tried to stick to it and break
them. They were popping. They
were hitting. It was by no means
an easy victory."

The punt rush alone accounted
10 points, a touchdown and two
safeties.
"Not a lot of teams handle the
pressure on a punt," said John
Impagliazzo. "We knew what we
had to do, and we didn't let up all
night."
Mainland's first score came off
a blocked punt by Impagliazzo.
On its opening series of the
game, Vineland's nervousness
was obvious on the very first play
when the snap from center went
over Castillo's head for a 17-yard
loss and pinned the Clan back on
its own 10-yard line. A pass to
dangerous Marcus Lee was
knocked down by Matt Mauro, a
screen pass went nowhere and on
fourth down Steve Bond dropped
back to punt. Impagliazzo shot
through the line, blocked the punt
and then fell on it in the endzone
for a touchdown.
"We took advantage of a opportunity
that was there," said

pressure up the middle and that
allowed me to block it. I just happened
to see the ball in the end
zone so I dove on it."
Freshman Chris Malick kicked
his first of four extra points, and
Mainland was up 7-0 just 1:17
into the game.
Following the kickoff,
Vineland's jitters continued. Two
plays into the next series, the
Clan fumbled and senior Steve
Curran recovered for Mainland
on the Vineland 30-yardline.

into punt formation with Uie kicker
Steve Bond standing 11 yards
away at the back of the end zone.
Bond took the snap and stepped
out of the endzone for an intentional
safety, giving Mainland an
18-6 lead. .
Vineland kicked off from its 20.
On Mainland's first play Cottrell
went over the middle and took a
pass from Cappelluti back 42
yards to the Vineland 11-yard
line. Impagliazzo took it the rest
of the way for the touchdown, and
Malick kicked No. 3 for a 25-6
lead with 10:35 left to play.
Mainland had a short field for
its next drive after a Vineland
punt rolled dead on the Clan's 37yard
line. Impagliazzo carried
twice for 16 yards. Fullback
Justin Gillespie carried for nine
yards and then four yards.
Cappelluti took the ball to the
Vineland 9-yard line, and then
threw a pass to Cottrell for the
touchdown. Malick kicked the
point, making him four for four
on the evening, but on the last
kick he was hit by Vineland's
Matt Moore, who according to
officials was given an ejection
which also carries a suspension
from the next game, which will
be this weekend's playoff.
Another key to Mainland's success
was the job Mauro did on
Lee, who caught only two passes
for 46 yards, including his 41yard
touchdown catch. Lee
caught no passes in the second
half,
"Matt Mauro is a terrific defensive
back," said Coffey. "He is the
best defensive back in the league.
It was the best receiver in the
league (Lee) against the best
defensive back in the league.
Matt is the one I wanted to cover
Lee."
The other key. was Mainland's
kicking game. . The,. Mustangs
flatly refused ta kick the ball anywhere
near either Byrd or speedster
Darren Ford. Mainland used
a short kick on every kickoff.
"I didn't want to give those guys
the football," said Coffey. ','1 knew
I'd give them a short field today,
but there's no such thing as a
short field with Vineland. We figured
as long as we can limit the
touches to their great players
we've got a shot at staying in the
game."
Ford, the league's top' scorer
with 15 touchdowns and 90
points, carried the ball only five
times for a totgd of three yards.
Byrd had five carries for 19
yards.

created a minus 15 yards for
Vineland's ground game.
"It doesn't get much better than
this," said Cottrell afterward.
"Two undefeated teams, going
for the conference championship
late in the year."
Mainland will now set its sights
on a second straight state championship.

ON FISHING
No reason to be cold, wet
while fishing or hunting
A temperature dip brings us
back to reality. Those Indian
Summer days of autumn couldn't
last forever. Suddenly it is cold,
and outdoor people are gearing
up for the change. Warmer clothing
comes of the closet and put
where it is handy. Even if it
warms up again, bank on cooler
temperature from here on.
Whether you fish, hunt, hike,
camp or watch birds in cold
weather it is always more fun if
you are warm and dry. Cold
weather outings can be enjoyable
if you dress for the occasion. It
can be misery if you do not. If
you have a bad experience,
chances are you won't try it
again.
In this day and age, there is little
reason to be cold and/or wet,
unless you choose to be either or
both, or unless you are not prepared.
Modern synthetics have
taken over in the outdoor dress
field, and sportsmen subject to
cold, wet windy days are the beneficiaries.
Add to the warm clothing
provided by modern technology
those provided by nature
such as wool, cotton and silk, and
there is no excuse to be miserable
from bad weather.
Here are some hints to help to
prepare for the weather. Today's
cold weather clothing starts with
excellent underwear and goes
outward to the foul weather gear
which keeps away water and
wind and still allows freedom of
movement without a lot of bulk.
Dress in layers so you can shed
or don clothing as the day's
weather changes. Clothing made
from today's plastic synthetics
offer less bulk and more protection
from the cold. A visit to any
good sporting goods store that
handles clothing for outdoor people
is a real eye opener when you
see what is on the shelves.
It has been estimated that 25
per cent of all body heat is lost
through the top of the head. A
Navy watch cap made of natural
wool or from a modern-day synthetic
is a good protector that will
Ikeep lots of body heat in. It is
much more important for those
who are a little sparse on.top in
->thg hair department, having lost
"most of Nature's insulator on
their heads ...hair.
If your feet are cold, it is difficult
to keep the rest of you warm.
Even in this day of synthetic fabric,
the best foot protection we
have found is a thin pair of cotton
socks, covered by a heavier pair
of natural wool socks, if available.
There are good synthetic
socks on the market, so use them.
If the temperature is not too
severe, cover the socks with a
good pair of light waterproof or
water repellent boots. In times of
extreme cold, insulated boots
with felt liners work well as long
as your feet are dry. Try a pair of
battery-operated heated socks if
you have cold feet.
When you buy insulated boots
with felt inner liners, get an extra
pair of liners, especially if your
feet perspire a lot. Felts tend to
get damp and an extra pair
allows you to dry one pair while
wearing the other.
A good way to dry damp boots
Jand waders is to use a vacuum
cleaner hose to blow air into
them. You can also use an oldfashioned
hair dryer-^-the kind
with a long hose which leads
away from the dryer/heat mechanism.
Make sure to use the entire
length of the hose which comes
with the dryer.
Do NOT use hand held dryers
which have no hose. They generate
so much heat it will ruin the
dryer and the boots. They can
also set boots and anything else
near them on fire.
Glove choices are broad. With
so many synthetics to pick from it
is hard to believe that one's
hands can ever be cold. Our own
personal choice for wet, cold
weather fishing is plain cheap
brown cotton gloves available
most everywhere. We find they
•ikeep our hands warm even when
wet. They are not too bulky and
can be worn inside mittens for
those in between times when
Correction
Gates still has most wins
Gray ties career shutouts
Last week the Ocean City
Sentinel incorrectly reported
that senior Kristen Gray had
broken the Ocean City High
School girls soccer goal keeping
record for most career wins.
Th error resulted from a miscalculation.
The record is 46 wins set by
Brittany Cates from 1994 to
1997. Gray is close, though. She
has 44 career wins through last
week.
After a 3-0 win against
Hammonton on Oct. 29, Gray
did, however, tie Cates for the
school record for career
shutouts at 32.
nothing is happening. If they get
messed up from fishing with
them, they are cheap enough to
be expendable.
To make the gloves work even
better for* manipulating fishing
reels, tying knots in leaders and
mono and baiting hooks, we cut
the thumft and forefinger out of
both left and right brown cotton
gloves we are fishing with. When
we end a day of fishing, we can
toss them away and not suffer the
trauma of sticker shock'when we
price new gloves.
As protection for our hands in
cold water, we use a good hand
lotion with natural lanolin as part
of the ingredients.
One tip dredged from our
almost-forgotten childhood is a
trick my mother taught us when
we were kids. To keep from losing
mittens and having to pick
them up from wet, slimy decks or
snow, tie a string on one mitten,
pass the string through one
sleeve, across the back and out
the other sleeve. Tie the other
end of the string to the other mitten,
leaving about a foot of extra
string at the end of each arm.
This allows you to shed mittens
quickly without having to look for
a place to put them or to have
them get lost or messed up. When
it's time to put them on, the mittens
are dry and handy.
Foul weather gear keeps water
out and stops the wind from penetrating.
Good foul weather gear
makes good sense. Bring it with
you and wear it when it rains, or
when you are being doused with
liberal doses of spray.
Avoid alcoholic beverages. A
thermos of soup, hot chocolate or
coffee are better choices to warm
the inner self.
Heated cabins, heated rails and
even heated decks are available
on some boats, and when available,
they are bonuses on cold,
windy days.

Ocean City novice wrestling program starts this week
By CHARLIE WOOD
Ocean City Sentinel
Ocean City youngsters who
would like to try the sport of
wrestling will have an opportunity
starting this week.
Ocean City's all-time leading
wrestler Pat Lynch, an assistant
coach on the Red Raider varsity,
will team with former Raider star
and District 32 champ Brendan
Gheen to start a mini-wrestling
program for kids in grades 1-8.
"We want to give more kids the
opportunity to try wrestling,"
says Gheen.
The program, which is under
the auspices of the Ocean City
Division of Recreation, will run
from 6:30 to 8:30 every Monday
and Thursday evening at the
Ocean City High School
wrestling room.
The program starts Nov. 10 and
runs through the middle of
March.
There is a $20 fee for the season,
and kids can register at City
Hall Annex, 9th and Simpson, the
Sports and Civic Center, 6th and
the Boardwalk, or they can register
at the high school on
wrestling nights.
Ocean City has not had a
wrestling program for youngsters
for the past two or three
years. Gheen, Lynch and Ocean
City's head wrestling coach Bill
Nickles hope the mini program
will someday develop wrestlers
for the Red Raider varsity.
There is a similar program
under way in Upper Township,
and Gheen plans to offer the
opportunity for Ocean City kids
to wrestle in Upper Township on
Friday nights.
In February, he also plans to
take the kids to a novice tournament
in Shalick as a wrap up for
the season.
"We're starting from scratch,"
says Lynch, who was head coach
at St. Augustine and an assistant
at Absegami. "There's not a lot of
tradition for wrestling in Ocean
City, so we're hoping that this will
work as a feeder program. If
you're going to have a wrestling
program that is competitive at
the state level, kids need three or
four years of experience before
they get to high school."
Lynch wrestled at Ocean City
from 1987-91, and won three
state championships. His career
record of 133-4 is first at Ocean
City and eighth in South Jersey.
In college he wrestled at Arizona
State and Georgia Tech.
Gheen wrestled at Ocean City
1993-97 and in 1996 won a
District 32 championship at the
heavyweight level.
He enlisted in the U.S. Marine
Corps in 1997 and saw duty in
Kosavo in the summer of 2002.
He was involved with peace
keeping and checking for contraband.
He served in Iraq from March
of 2003 through July 27. His company
saw some fighting, but
mostly was involved with urban
patrols and securing highways
around Nasiriyah.
Gheen is now in the Marine
Reserves, and is a fulltjme student
at Atlantic Community
College majoring in history.

week, Harrison Juventus fell to
the Tremor by a 2-1 score.
The U12 Twisters battled first

If you had to describe the
Twisters in one word, it would be

Raider football's loss pets them out of playoff contention
Continued from page Bl
1-2-6 in double overtime for one
strike against Ocean City.
Favored Absegami prevailed
over Atlantic City, and that was
strike two.
Finally the Millville
Thunderbolts used two shortfield
touchdowns to beat the
Raiders 13-6 for strike three, and
the Raiders were out of the playoffs
for the second year in a row.
For a short time last Saturday at
cold, windblown Carey Stadium,
the Raiders looked like they were
going to put Millville away fast
and hard.
On the game's first play from
scrimmage, senior Dan Markman
broke off a 28-yard run up the gut
to move Ocean City to the
Millville 37-yard line.
On the second play from scrimmage,
sophomore George
e'occodrilli shot through a hole on
the right side of the Raider line
and won the race to the endzone
to give Ocean City a 6-0 lead just
42 seconds into the game.
iFor 42 seconds, everything
went right for the Raiders.
! For the next 12 minutes or so,
everything went wrong.
It started on Ocean City's second
possession of the day when
Millville pinneci the Raiders back
on their own 15-yard line. Facing
the stiff north wind, Ocean City
went into punt formation, but the
snap went over kicker Dave
Beyel's head and he was tackled
back on the Ocean City 8-yard
line.
Millville had four downs to
make the eight yards to the end
zone, and it only took two.

Rich Forman carried for four

second play he carried for four

7-6.
Following the Millville kickoff,
Ocean City went three downs and
out and dropped back to punt.
The kick was partially deflected
and the Thunderbolts took over
on the Ocean City 29-yard line.
Forman took the ball on seven
straight downs and moved the
Bolts to the Raiders 4-yard line.
A Millville penalty and a pass to
Mike McRae put the ball back on
Ocean City's 2-yard line, and
from there Forman dove over left
tackle for the touchdown. The
pass for the two-point conversion
failed, and Millville led 13-6 with
10:47 left in the first half.
Neither team scored again.
"We dug ourselves a big hole
early on with some mistakes,"
said Ocean City coach Gary
Degenhardt. "We have a bad snap
on a punt and that led to a score,
and then a punt is partially
blocked and that led to another
score. Those things played heavily
into the outcome of the game."
In addition to faTfffig behind 13-
6, Ocean City also lost its star
senior tight end/linebacker
Chugger LaCasse, who was ejected
from the game during a fray
following the second Millville
touchdown.
LaCasse has been a huge factor
on both sides of the ball all season.
Also on the sideline was
sophomore tight end/defensive
end Mike Hinsley, who has been
out for a couple weeks with a
knee injury. Coccodrilli, another
sophomore #Mio missed last
week's gamfswiih a foot injury,
also limped to the bench and
played very little in the second
half. Lineman; Chris Mullan also
was dinged up.
Mullan, Hinsley and Coccodrilli
are expected back this weekend
when Ocean a City plays a consolation
game against Woodrow
Wilson at noon in Camden.
According to the rules of an
ejection, LaCasse must also sit
out the next scheduled game, so
he will not play this weekend.
"Chugger is removed from the
game due to a situation I wish I
had known about," Degenhardt
said. "I asked the official, 'Sir,
wouldn't you normally give me
some indication verbally that
there was a problem?' I had no
idea what was going on. If the
official had discussed the problem
with me, maybe it could have
been prevented."
Despite the /negative factors
and frustrations of the first half,
Ocean City did have chances in
the second half.
On the Raiders' first possession
of the third quarter sophomore
Jordan Torroni came on to play
quarterback in place of junior
Jim Crowley. On the first play,
Torroni hooked up with Crowley
on a 16-yard pass play. Markman
and Antwaine Campo carried the
ball to the Millville 41-yard line.
Crowley took a handoff for 15
yards to the Millville 26, but on
the next play Ocean City fumbled
and Millville recovered.
Early in the fourth quarter
Torroni found wide receiver John
Fenton on a 14-yard pass play.
Torroni went to the air again and
added 13 yards with a pass to
Crowley. Markman churned up
11 yards and Bey el added eight
more to move the ball to the
Millville 34. Torroni went deep to
Crowley in the end zone, but he
was triple-teamed, and Tiquan
Johnson intercepted for Millville.
Millville's • Forman was the
workhorse of the day, as he carried
the ball 39 tunes for 141
yards. The only other run from
scrimmage came from Johnson,
who gained eight yards on his one
carry. *
Despite Forman's impressive
performance, the Raiders actually
out-rushed Millville 163 to 149.
The bulk of Ocean City's rushing
yardage came off three carries:
Markman's 28-yard run;
Coccodrilli's 37-yard touchdown
run, and Campo's 33-yard run.
Ocean City also had 79 yards
passing compared to 49 for
Millville. Fenton caught three
passes, all in heavy traffic, for 47
yards. Crowley caught two passes
for a total of 29 yards.
It was a frustrating loss for the
Raiders, who fall to 3-5 with two
games left, including the
Thanksgiving Day game at home
with Pleasantville.
"All I can say is, we played our
hardest today and you can't ask
for more than that," said Ocean
City senior lineman and captain
Jim Dugan. "We couldn't fill all
the spots from injuries, but the
kids that came in played their

Lady Raider hockey dispatches Pmeiands in playoff quest
Editor's note: See related story, « ,
pageB13. t >i
By CHARLIE WOOD
& Ocean City Sentinel
The unstoppable, unflappable
Rachel Cheafsky scored two
goals within 90 seconds last
Saturday to send the Ocean City-
Lady Raider field hockey team
into the Group III semifinal
against league rival Hammonton.
The semifinal with
Hammonton, a team Ocean City
has beaten twice in the regular
season, was scheduled for yesterday,
after the Ocean City Sentinel
J^ad gone to press.
On Saturday in the tourney
opener the No. 2 seed Lady
Raiders faced No. 7 seed
Pinelands in a game that had
been delayed for three or four
days because of rain. Cheafsky
pumped in her two quick goals
with 18:30 and 17:00 left in the
first half and Ocean City went on
to win easily 4-1.
H Senior Nikki Hinsley scored
^ivith about five minutes left in the
first half and Cheafsky had one
more about two and half minutes
into the second half for the hat
trick.
"We came out strong, we used
possession passes and we really
pounded away," said Ocean City
coach Trish LeFever. "It was nice
to see."
Ocean City outshot Pinelands
21-6 but almost all of Pineland's
shots came at the end of the game
||fter LeFever had pulled her
starters.
"The first two goals we,re
important to get us on track,"
LeFever said. "We gave up no
J shots in the first half."
Senior goalie Gwen Hunter
played the first half to earn the
win, and senior Michelle Cheek
came on to play the second half
in goal.
•& "The defense is really stepping
Tip," said LeFever. "Leslie
Robinson had a real strong
game."
There are always anxieties
about playing any team for a
third time in one season.
Ocean City beat Hammonton 4-
0 and 3-0 during the regular season,
but the Blue Devils, who are
coached by Trish LeFever's stepdaughter
Tracy LeFever, are the
No. 3 seed in the tournament
ftvith an 11-5 record.
After losing twice Hammonton
could fold its tent before the
game with Ocean City. "That isn't
Igoing to happen," said Trish
LeFever, who does not like to
coach against Tracy.
Or, after beating Hammonton
twice, Ocean City could be looking
ahead to the South Jersey
championship game which will
grfje at 11 a.m. Saturday.

Baker goal wins game
Continued from page Bl
rily because a couple of schools
in the CAL National Conference
only have one field, so junior varsity
games are played as soon as
the varsity game ends.
Although Ocean City has four
ties on its record, 17-1-4, the
only overtime game the Raiders
have played this year was a nonleague
game at Cherry Hill East
out of the Olympic Conference,
which does allow overtime.
Ocean City scored in the first
overtime off a penalty kick by
Donny Hamilton to win 1-0.
With its top seed, Ocean City
drew a bye in the first round, and
Highland advanced with a win
over No. 9 seed Lacey, a team
Ocean City beat last year early in
the Group III tournament.
"We were just psyched before
the game," said Hamilton, a senior
midfielder. "Our warmup was
intense. We knew we were going
to win."
Highland gave the Raiders all
they could handle for most of the
100 minutes.
"There are no easy games in
the tournament," said Ocean City
coach Mike Pellegrino, who is in
his eighth season and has qualified
for the tournament each of
those years.
"Highland did a nice job defensively,"
he added. "They took
care of us in one-on-one situations
and didn't give us an inch."
Highland plays in the Tri-
County Conference with Delsea,
Clearview, Kingsway and
Cumberland, all of whom made
the Group III tournament.
"After the first overtime, they
said it wasn't going to end today,"
Pellegrino said of his Raiders.
"They weren't going home today.
That was their conversation.
They fought hard to win that
game. They were determined."
Said Melchioni, "I was getting
scared at the end. We could have
finished them off earlier, but we
didn't step it up until the pressure
was on. We can't let games
go as far as that one did. We've
got to finish them earlier.
"Rich pretty much saved our
season," Melchioni added. "It
was an amazing finish. Both of
his finishes were."
Said Hamilton of the game winner,
"It was a very unexpected
shot. The keeper wasn't ready for
it. He'was way off his line."
Baker has a knack though. He
started as a freshman playing*
fullback, and then moved to the
midfield and front line last year.
This year he has spent most of
his time at striker so he knows
his way around.
"I've played everywhere on the
field so I can read the game," he
said. "But it's all about training
hard and having something left
in the tank."
Ocean City moved on to the
South Jersey Group III semifinal
on Tuesday of this week against
No. 5 seed Moorestown, who beat
Williamstown and Clearview to
advance.
A win over Moorestown would
send the Raiders to the South
Jersey final against the winner of
Oakcrest (No. 2) and Timber
Creek (No. 6) who upset No. 3
Cumberland 1-0.

Continued from page Bl
header on goal. The Moorestown
keeper deflected it over the top,
and Ocean City had another corner.
Evans sent the ball across
again, and Baker dropped it back
to sweeper Phil Schaffer.
Schaffer sent a nice through ball
up top where Melchioni pushed it
to Hamilton who had space on the
right side. Hamilton hit an
incredible blast into the back netting
for a 1-0 lead in the eighth
minute of the second half.
"I was playing midfield and
coach always asks us to make
diagonal runs," Hamilton said. "I
finally made one and B. Melch
(Melchioni) put it right through
the defenders, and I had a wide
open net."
Said Melchioni, "They broke
down after the first goal and we
just kept pounding it at them."
In the second half, Ocean City's
midfield won the air and used
high pressure to launch the counterattack.
Melchioni and junior Felipe
Duarte played the middle with
Ed Menchaca and Mike
DeCredico on the outside. Pat
Tolomeo played well out of the
middle also, and Kevin McCarthy
and Ryan Scully gave the
Raiders a lot of quality time off
the bench.
The defense of Schaffer, Jason
Dugan, and Will Kleva didn't give
Moorestown much wiggle room.
"That's probably the best game
we've played all year," said keeper
Wes Yakopcic. "Will was in it,
Jay was in it and Phil was in it all
game."
Ocean City had a great chance
on a direct kick from
about 25 yards out-
Baker -worked" a give
and go with Mike
Mousaw, and Baker
sent the ball in front
where Duarte volleyed
a tremendous shot, but
it was blocked by the
Moorestown defense.
With time running
out, Moorestown
pushed forward trying
to get more numbers
in the offensive zone.
"Their game plan
was to leave one or two
defenders back and
push everybody else
up," said Ocean City
coach Mike Pellegrino.
Pellegrino countered
by sending Hamilton
ahead alone as a cherry
picker.
"Donny is by far the
best person we have
with the ball at his
feet," said Pellegrino.
"We switched him with
Rich Baker and let
Donny go up top and
receive the ball"
Yakopcic made a
save and punted the
ball three-quarters of
the field. Hamilton

the right corner for a 2-0 leac
with 9:23 left to play.
Reminiscent of Flyers forme:
goalie Ron Hextall, Yakopcii
came very close to getting ai
assist on the second goal becausi
of his punt, and might have got
ten one if this had been an ici
hockey game.
"I'm real excited about that,
said Yakopcic. "I don't score an<
I don't get assists, but when yoi
get something like that to set up ;
goal it makes you feel great."
Yakopcic almost set up on
more with his.booming punt t
Hamilton on the right side,^'h

was just wide.
Baker talked about his insur
ance goal.
"Me and Donny talk about tha
all the time," he said. "I was of
on my passes to him today, but hi
helped me out by playing a grea
ball to me that I finished."
Ocean City outshot Moorestowj
13-4 in the second half, bu
Yakopcic had to make one las
huge save to preserve hi
shutout.
Moorestown had the ball h
front about three feet out and le
loose.
"Our field's got some bumps,
said Yakopcic. "The ball took J
weird hop. The guy was standin;
there and he hit it right at me."

Offerings
By POOR RICHARD
Religious offerings are not merely to be contributions or donations.
Offerings are meant to be given as an act or'worship. They are to
be gifts given to God, not just the human religious institution.
The Bible teaches that our offerings are to be the "first fruits" of
what we have. We are not to be giving God leftovers or only a token
donation.
Offerings are beautiful! They are to be expressions of love from
our hearts and or hands!
Spindrift
By Joe Gilbert
The Rev. Richard C. Wingate
Lighthouse Shore Ministries
Efficiency in 2003
If you have ever had to deal
with a major corporation's customer
service, you truly will
appreciate this. Last January, a
dear friend's aunt died and the
following took place... on his tape
... between he and his aunt's
bank. The bank billed her for
February and March for their
monthly service charge on her
credit card and then added late
fees and interest on the monthly
charge ... the balance that had
been $0.00 ... now was in the
neighborhood of $60.00.
Following, is the tape, a paragon
of man's inefficiency to man:
My Friend: "I am calling to tell
you that she died in January."
The Bank: "The account was
never closed and the late fees
and charges still apply."
My Friend: "Maybe you should
turn it over to collections."
The Bank: "Since it is two
months past due, it already has
been."
My Friend: "So, what will they
do when they find out she is -
dead?"
The Bank: "Either report her
account to the frauds division or
report her to the credit bureau ...
maybe both!"
My Friend: "Do you think God
will be mad at her?"
The Bank: "... excuse me ... ?"
My Friend: "Did.you just get
what I was telling you ... the part
about being dead?"
The Bank: "Sir, you will have to
speak to my supervisor!"
(Supervisor gets on the phone)
My Friend: "I'm calling to tell
you, she died in January."
The Bank: "The account was
never closed and the late fees
and charges still apply."
My Friend: "You mean you
want to collect from her estate?"
The Bank: "... (stammer)... Are
you her lawyer?"
My Friend: "No, I'm her great
nephew." (Lawyer info, already
given...)
The Bank: "Could you fax us a
certificate of death?"
My Friend: "Sure." (Fax number
is given)
(After they get the fax)
The Bank: "Our system just
isn't set up for death ..."
My Friend: "Oh..."
The Bank: "I don't know what
more I can do to help ..."
My Friend: "Well ... if you figure
it out, great; if not, you could
just keep billing her ... I suppose
... I don't think she really will
mind ..."
The Bank: "Well... the late fees
and charges do still apply."
My Friend: "Would you like her
new billing address?"
The Bank: "That might help."
My Friend: "Odessa Memorial
Cemetery, Highway 129 and plot
number seven."
The Bank: "Sir, that's a cemetery!"
My Friend, exhausted, frustrated
and very angry: "What do you
do with dead people on your
planet?" . rm^:, ..... :;,,;;. ,,_
And so, the Industrial
Revolution marches on!

THE GIFT
OF LISTENING
Have you ever had a conversation with someone and felt that your
comments weren't being listened to or understood? Well, you were
probably right. Listening is an art, and it takes practice to become a
good conversationalist. Meaningful conversation however, is useless
without listening, understanding, and considering the other person's
point of view. Sometimes, we are so concerned with what we are going
to say next, that we don't listen to the other person's comments. Prayer
is conversation with God, and God is a good listener. He hears all of
our prayers, but sometimes we should just sit back and listen to Him.
In the quiet of our listening, that still, small voice that comes from deep
within is God conversing with. us.
Hearing is one of the body's five senses.
But listening is an art.
Remember this, my dear brothers! Everyone must
be quick to listen, but slow to speak....
