Reason 451 to get a CARFAX Report…

I arrived in to Avalon NJ, Monday May 12th 2008 to face a full on flood tide seven foot above mean water level. I spent the day shooting photos and driving from Avalon, Stone Harbor and Wildwood. You will note some impressive waves in the Middle Township’s Grassy Sound and Avalon resident Shelby Eshelman wading across 12th and Ocean.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer:

“On what otherwise would have been the perfect beach day, officials at the Jersey Shore yesterday assessed erosion caused by Monday’s nor’easter and vowed to get their resorts in shape for the Memorial Day weekend.” More…

“Bulldozers are busy along the Jersey shore as towns try to repair beach erosion caused by Monday’s nor’easter.

HAVE A BALL FOR THE OCEAN - SEASIDE

Sandy Hook, NJ - Clean Ocean Action’s (COA) annual seaside fundraiser,

Family Beach Ball for the Ocean, will be held on Sunday, May 18, 2008, from

3-7 p.m. at the Ship Ahoy Beach Club in Sea Bright, NJ.  Over 300 families from across the region will gather to celebrate COA’s ocean protection efforts.

“As people are now becoming more aware of environmental issues, it is important for them to know that everyone can participate in some way to make this planet healthier and a better place to live for future generations.  The Beach Ball is just one way for our community to gather together and take action for the ocean.  Since the ocean covers most of this planet, its state of being should be of prime concern to us all.  Everyone can make a difference in some way,” said Louise Hall, Beach Ball Event Chair.

Film Society Presents “Hollywood Goes to War”

(Cape May, NJ) The Cape May Film Society’s Memorial Day film program will be a great addition to your holiday plans–after the parades and picnics. The program is entitled “Hollywood Goes to War,” and the featured speaker is Hollywood actor/screenwriter JC Stinson, who says if you think the program will be all about combat, you’d be mistaken. “There aren’t as many combat scenes as there are clips demonstrating what makes a film truly remarkable,” he says. “There are classic elements of these films like the rogue enlisted man, the brutal training, the outsider. And we will leave plenty of time for discussion after the clips are presented and before the reception.” Stinson will present the most memorable moments from some of the greatest films ever made, and some work that’s off the beaten track as well.

He was a British teen sensation with the Herd. He was a hard rock hero with Humble Pie. He was an international phenomenon with a solo career that included the release of the multi-platinum 1976 album - Frampton Comes Alive, arguably the most successful live recording of all time. He’s guitar legend Peter Frampton, and he’s lighting up the Tropicana Casino and Resort on August 2, 2008.

Mothers Day is almost upon us.  Baring good old fashion guilt, what do you have planned?  Need some ideas?  Read On…

“The United States celebrates Mother’s Day on the second Sunday in May. In the United States, Mother’s Day was loosely inspired by the British day and was imported by social activist Julia Ward Howe after the American Civil War. However, it was intended as a call to unite women against war. In 1870, she wrote the Mother’s Day Proclamation as a call for peace and disarmament. Howe failed in her attempt to get formal recognition of a Mother’s Day for Peace. Her idea was influenced by Ann Jarvis, a young Appalachian homemaker who, starting in 1858, had attempted to improve sanitation through what she called Mothers’ Work Days. She organized women throughout the Civil War to work for better sanitary conditions for both sides, and in 1868 she began work to reconcile Union and Confederate neighbors.” Whole Story
