Herald A lantern 3 February *82

it's still deep freeze time here on the Jersey Cape, and as I rente across the meadows this week It was very evident that our water fowl are suffering from the cold. Wherever open water was available, you could see ducks, geese, and some brant Y swimming around trying to fipd food A few years back, in cooperation with dur service clubs, we took Boy Scouts oyer to Stone Harbor (in response to a call for help from Bill Stiles, now deceased) with bags of cracked corn to feed these birds, but lately there hasn’t been any action of this type in the

meadows.

I guess^one of the big reasons was that we were criticized by the Fish and Game Div who said we were doing more harm than good; because, according to them, whenever we provided a large quantity of Xood in an area, and didn't feed it daily, the birds would return to that area time and iime again — -and not finding food, would eventually starve. {They also said that brant could not eat cracked com, as their main diet consisted of sea cabbage, and they could not digest what we were feeding them. It still seemed like we were doing something to help those ducks ahd geese to survive, and I'm not sure we were

all wrong.

IN THESE days survival is getting to be a topic that you boar discussed everywhere; not just for animals. And when you see a great paper like the Evening Bulletin close down after 134 years in the business. It makes you wonder. Ever since I was knee high to a grasshopper I heard "Nearly everybody reads the Bulletin," and now they say it has become a dinosaur. I can’t help but feel sorry for these Bulletin" people, but I feel sorrier for

our generatiort, because in an explanation for the cp|J lapse .one writer said, "No one has time to sit down . and read an evening paper ’ anyjnore, so our circulation ' dwindled, and our overhead costs ate us up."

Well, now, just as Bob

Neely said as we discussed it: "They ought to put up a sign, Now, no one reads the Bulletin. It’s a sorry plight! I will mi& this great paper, and what they brought to

this part of America. ALL THE NEWS this

past week wasn’t bad, though, because the U.S., Coast Guard made a decision to bring all their training facilities to Cape May, and this will breathe a breath of life into • the Jersey Cape. Someone said at the Cape May County Chamber of Commerce meeting over at Neil's this Thursday, “How much more will this bring to Cape May County?" Well, I don’t think you can ask how much more? I reason that you have to ponder where we would have been if they’d decided to train all their recruits in California instead of moving to Ca ( pe May. This is a great blessing to our county, and to

our seaman.

I WANT TO applaud Congressman Bill Hughes right now for his statement to the State Dept, of Transportation; that was that unless the DOT changes their thinking and includes Cape May County in the rail concept, he would have to change his thinking at the Congressional level abogt how much aid the state DOT would really need. Bill Hughes is plugging away for Cape May County every time we are hurt like this, and we’re lucky to have him there in Washington. I am hoping that some of our newly elected legislators will follow his lead and try to

Lifeguard Jobs Open

TUCKAHOE - Upper Township is making plans for the 1982 summer season, according to Beach Inspector Dick Alliger. The township maintains guarded bathing beaches during the summer season at Strathmere, Beesleys Point and Tuckahoe, and applications for lifeguards for these beaches are now being accepted, according to Alliger. "We are interested in hiring several qualified young men and women for the 1982 Beach patrol," Alliger noted. Applicants must be 16 years of age or older and possess an up-to-date Red Cross Senior Life Saving Certificate. CPR training is helpful, but not necessary, Alliger said, "bccahse all guards will be fully trained and qualified with CPR instruction."

erase the image in North Jersey that we are the end^ of the world down here. TWO OF OUR area anglers are headed for Mexico bill fishing, and later on Jhey're going to Panama for black marlin, but because of the length of their stay I’m not going to name them Last fall when I told about Larry Beradelli and his wife going to Arizona, somebody correctly interpreted that he would be gone for awhile, and broke into his home, so I’m going to report on trips now when the fellows return home, not when they’re leaving ONE SAD NOTE: Samuel Eugene Crowley of Green Creek passed away this week, and he will be missed by a group of. us who knew him. "Gene" ran the party boat Ogle II for many years out of Cape May, and he was one of the

great .headboat captains. Bob Neely told me this morning that "Gene" had also been a guide for hunting parties in the old days! and he was good at it. I should have known this because Hiram Thompson told ihe of the many times he used to pick "done" up to go gtinning. Gene was always helpful to me and he taught me a lot of places to go fishing. I'll miss "Gene” and his stories, but most of all. I'll miss what he represented — enjoyment of the outdoors, and the desire to live fully the moments of leisure you are blessed with. All t(K) often today we get our priorities mixed, and we forget to enjoy ou* natural God-given pleasures. Farewell, old friend, as you journey to the land where everyone has time to listen to a tale and enjoy it

Persons interested in applying for a position on the Beach Patrol should contact Richard J. Alliger, Beach Inspector, Township of Upper, Box .5, Strathmere, 08248.
