Water Ski Chairs by Dick Philips. Each chair is hand made using vintage wooden water skis which vary in color, shape and size. Because of the variation in the skis, no two chairs are alike and therefore, patterns cannot be used. We build each chair from "scratch".Non-ski parts such as seat slats are made from white pine, primed and then painted with 3 coats of exterior enamel in colors to match graphics on the skis. The chairs are then assembled with stainless steel fasteners to avoid any rust or corrosion. www.waterskichairs.com

to make some pretty tough choices: Should we take a Spin class or a bike ride? Glassblowing or pottery-making? Or gather with friends at the Wonder Bar for some music & dancing, or to check out the famous Thursday evening “Doggie Yappy Hour”?

And what visit would be complete without a little shopping? Whatever your taste and budget, you will undoubtedly find a gift for that special someone, or perhaps a little something for yourself…that custom surfboard you’ve been dreaming of is just a few steps away. Did you forget your sunglasses? No problem – from everyday items like bikinis & board shorts to

those unique treasures like Jimi Hendrix-inspired clothing, you will find it all right here in Asbury Park.

After a long day at the beach, or before a big night out, you’ll want to see and be seen at the newest “hot spot” on the Board-walk – the Langosta Lounge. Slide up to the bar and make new friends while sipping a chocolate martini, or reserve a table for family and friends and dine al fresco, enjoying the estival ocean breezes and watching the waves roll in…

During the 1950s and 1960s, Asbury Park, New Jersey, was the place to be to stroll along the board-walk, to sunbathe, and, most importantly, to listen to live music. But since the city fell into ruin, culminating in the race riots of the 1970s, many were left to wonder if the former rock 'n' roll

mecca had been silenced forever. In Local Heroes, author Anders Martensson and photographer Jorgen Johansson revisit the myths, legends, and romantic visions of the music scene in a town that is striving to make a comeback. While the story of Asbury Park is inseparable from widely popular artists, such as Bruce Springsteen, Steven van Zandt, and Southside Johnny Lyon, Local Heroes pays tribute to these mu-sicians alongside the many other talents who stayed behind, playing in local clubs, helping to forge what became known as the "Jersey Shore sound." In a series of original interviews, readers will hear first-hand from the people who wrote, performed, and lived the music. Accompanied by exclusive photographs, musical personalities such as Max Weinberg, Garry Tallent, Richie "LaBamba" Rosenberg, Danny Federici, Bill Chinnock, Vini Lopez, Pete Yorn, and many others are brought to life.

Whether the redevelopment efforts underway in Asbury Park today will someday serve as the stage for music legends of tomorrow is a story that has yet to play out. But for now, rock 'n' roll fans can delight in a stunning tribute to a city and its talents whose music continues to play on. — rutgerspress.rutgers.edu •

Gardening at the shore is in some ways like gardening anywhere else. With enough time, energy and money

pretty much anything can be grown; perhaps not easily and perhaps not in the long term, but it can be grown. On the other hand, almost every locale has a plant or vegetable or tree for which it is well known because the local conditions are conducive to its growth (think Georgia peaches,

Idaho potatoes or Jersey Tomatoes). So, when gardening at the shore, it helps to think about what grows naturally. Not much, but think again. What about bayberry or beach grass? What about golden rod and rugosa rose and prickly pear and beach plum and dusty miller? Not your idea of a garden? Maybe not, but that does list plants, or suggest a direction or theme one might keep in mind when think-ing about a garden at the seashore? Being realistic is the key. As a first step toward this realism, be aware that the extremes in seashore conditions can vary greatly in very small increments of distance from the beach, back toward more normal ground, or as is the case on a barrier island, from the beach back to the bay. — Exerpts from Gardening at the Shore, a book from The Garden Club of Long Beach Island, available at Things A Drift and other LBI stores.

Our furniture began with a thought, and a vision. Deborah Norwood, de-signer, found herself unable to continue in her lifelong career as an ed-

ucator. When she fractured her back and was forced to retire from teaching, she knew she had a lot more in life to give. Her true avocation was interior design, and one day she sat down and began to draw sketches of furniture. She had a design in mind, knew she wanted furniture that was made from natural products, "green", sustainable, healthy, yet durable and affordable. Taking into consideration depth, height, width, and slant, she finished her drawings and was ready to find a manufacturer to make her furniture, in hopes of bringing her own designs to homes across America.

Her search took her to many countries over a period of two years, but she finally found a wonderful man near Bali who listened to her every detail and specification. She finally began to see her efforts unfold.

Deborah wanted her furniture to be functional and to fit into both small and large spaces. She wanted it to be interchangeable, so that her customers could rearrange the pieces, split the sectional units around in a room. With this in mind, she knew her customers could then create a loveseat with 2 corner chairs, or a large sectional with a combination of corner chairs and armless chairs. With the combination of all armless chairs one could cre-ate a totally new and contemporary look. One corner chair and 2 armless chairs could be made into a chaise lounge. Versatility was paramount. Today, Deborah's's furniture is in hotel lobbies, guest suites and in adorable condos.

This incredibly beautiful seagrass furniture is made to last. The base is made of kiln-dried hardwood. About the time wooden furniture leaves the tropics it cracks and breaks without the "kiln-drying" process. The wooden frame is wrapped with a chunky knit-weave of water hyacinth reeds.

To ensure protection and durability of the seagrass, Deborah found that the best protection was the application of 2 coats of semi-gloss lacquer to the finish of the seagrass and wood. The decks of the chairs have woven rub-ber straps to ensure a soft and comfortable cushioned feel!

Cleaning the furniture is easy as well. With a soft, damp cloth the water hyacinth seagrass can be wiped down. The slipcovers are zippered and can be removed for laundering in a cold water, delicate cycle, air dried, and then reapplied to the cushions.

The fabric used is made of 100% cotton twill with stain guard and treat-ed with a water repellent, and is of excellent quality. Five inch deep and comfortable seat cushions are built in layers and domed on the top. Every-thing from top to bottom displays high end boutique quality furniture. Com-plimentary scatter pillows come with each chair.

Many of Deborah's customers have been happy with their furniture be-cause it is healthy, natural, and beautiful. Testimonials are received daily telling that when the furniture arrives, it exceeds expectations. Our custom-ers feel a sense of pride, when they can tell their friends and family they have purchased with our mother earth in mind. Certified as 90% Organic by the manufacturer, this natural fiber has been claimed by some to actually energize the body.

Deborah hopes you will enjoy her furniture. She is thankful and feels tru-ly blessed that she can bring the look and feel of casual stated elegance to many homes and offices throughout the United States and Canada.

no beach butts about it!

“Most people are aware of the toxins that cigarette butts leave behind and the lengthy

time it takes for them to disintegrate," said Cheryl Kirby, owner of Things a Drift on LBI. Just Google “cigarette butt decomposition” and thousands of sites will emerge divulging these disturbing facts. Regardless of what the facts are, I know what I see on the tide lines when walking the beach: ugly washed up butts! The also find homes in street gutters, on sidewalks, or settling in someone’s yard after a high tide. Some people even throw butts out their car windows because their astray is being used for toll money. While I do not condone smoking, if someone is going to smoke, what I am do-ing will make it more convenient for them to discard their butts. That is the idea behind “No Beach Butt Bins.

"I have proposed using small containers called 'No Beach Butt Bins' for disposing butts. The idea came to me when I visited Australia a few years back and since then have been search-ing for a suitable container that was afford-able. Initially, I wanted to use the 35mm film containers so that I would be recycling existing material. As this did not happen, I came up with an alternate type of container that can be carried in one’s pocket to be used at the beach, in the car, or just when taking a walk outdoors.

"Butt bins will be available at the Chamber of Commerce in Ship Bottom, Barnegat Light-house, Ship Bottom Borough or at Things a Drift at 406 Long Beach Boulevard in Ship Bot-tom. I have purchased 1,000 of these conve-nient little butt carriers and I am offering them free of charge while the supply lasts. Hope-fully, more of these will be available when I receive additional public and corporate support. I am not looking to turn this into a profit-mak-ing enterprise. Instead, I want it to be the start of something bigger and better for a cleaner and more beautiful LBI!” •

Maine Sea Salt Company was started in 1998 by owner

Stephen Cook. "I've always been inter-ested in natural, unprocessed food," said Stephen Cook. "I realized that the salt we bought in the store was differ-ent than sea salt. I did a little research and thought I would make my own, and look what happened!"

His family has been in the lobster-ing businesses on Bailey Island, Maine, all of his life. In the 1950’s the family opened Cook’s Restaurant and Pound, located in Garrison Cove. Restaurant patrons would often comment on how the Cook's lobsters, prepared with sea water, tasted so much better than other lobsters.

Today, Stephen and his Maine Sea Salt Company continues to expand

their product line as well as their salt processing facilities. A recent business relocation has offered more space in to install additional solar salt houses, which will increase their salt produc-tion capacity. A commitment to pro-viding only the best quality sea salt continues to be a crucial part of the development of each product.

“The whole purpose of salt is to sea-son and to enhance flavors you love. And Maine Sea Salt, with its depth and texture it really gets it!,” said Stephen. "We offer a complete line of natural, seasoned, or smoked salts." — Pete Milnes, visit maineseasalt.com

health

Owner and Maine Sea Salt founder, Stephen Cook, "The Salt Man". He creates natural, solar-evaporated sea salt on his Maine farm.

H o w i s n a t u r a l s e a s a l t m a d e ?

All salt originally came from the sea. The salt you use every

day was probably mined under-ground, where an ancient ocean may have evaporated. Mined sea salt has lost much of its original quality. Modern processing has washed the salt of dirt, which also removes much of the trace miner-als. Quality sea salt adds texture and flavor. Crystals - coarse or

fine, may be applied in creative ways in your cooking. Natural sea salt is free of drying agents, free of chemicals for anti-caking, and without added iodine. Sea salt typically has a higher concentra-tion of trace minerals. Our sea salt is made by evaporating fresh sea water in shallow pools within solar greenhouses. Coarse crystals are formed as the ocean water evapo-rates, leaving behind pure sea salt crystals. The moisture in sea salt

is an indication that it is a natural product. Sea salt attracts moisture from the atmosphere, which is why standard table salt has drying agents added to provide a more free-flowing product. Sea salt does not flow well in a shaker. Sea salt can be considered organic if it is produced in a natural way like ours. We do not use any artificial flavorings or seasonings. — Maine Sea Salt founder, Stephen Cook

Surfing is one of the most fun water sports, but it is also pretty hard to get the hang of. There are a lot of things that

you have to be aware of before catching a wave. Like which way the wave is breaking, making sure you

are in the right position to catch the wave, and making sure there is no one else already on the wave or paddling back out right at you. Now try

doing all this at night!Surfing at night is a lot more dangerous, but can

be just as much fun. If there is no natural light to illuminate the ocean it's harder to see which way the wave is breaking and high the wave is. So if you want to try surfing at

night, try the beach next to Pier Village in Long Branch. The lights from the village and boardwalk provide a small enough amount of light to surf at night without being totally in the dark.

Before you go, there is one thing that you will definitely have to overcome — fear — fear of entering pitch-black ocean water (remember the days of ocean skinny dipping, usually accompa-nied by liquid courage?). You will not be able to see what’s in the water. Period. You'll be able to see maybe seagulls floating wondering what you are up to, or they may be working some bait fish near you (and what chases bait fish?). In any case, the fear is always in the back of your head during a night session. But it’s risky fun if you have no fear. — Pete Milnes photo •

"I really don't know why it is that all of us are so committed to the sea, except I think it is because in addition to the fact that the sea changes and the light changes and ships change, it is because we all came from the sea. And it is an interesting biological fact that all of us have, in our veins, the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that

exists in the ocean, and, therefore we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch

it, we are going back from where we came."

— John F. Kennedy, September 14, 1962, Newport, RI

dogs on

beachpatrolIn 1942, the Coast Guard recognized that the

use of dogs, with their keen sense of smell and their ability to be trained for guard duty, would help enhance the patrols. The Coast Guard eventually received about 2,000 dogs for patrol duties. The dogs and their trainers were schooled on the 300-acre estate of P.A.B. Widnener, at the Elkin Park Training Station in Pennsylvania. Others trained at Hilton Head, S.C. The first dog patrols began at Brigantine Park, N.J., in August 1942. The dogs were so successful, that within a year, the animals and their handlers were on duty in all the districts.

Dog patrols were usually conducted at night and consisted of a dog and dog handler. The patrol length was about one mile. Where canine patrols were in effect, the two-man foot patrols were replaced, thus reducing personnel requirements. The animals showed

great alertness and were formidable as attack-ers. A 50- to 75-pound snarling dog could be more frightening than a man with a pistol. As both man and dog became more proficient, the human-animal team became one. In one case, near Plymouth, Mass., a patrolman was pre-vented from walking off a cliff on a dark night when his dog refused to advance further.

There were other times that the animals were not quite as helpful. On three occasions, in the same area, the dogs, while leading their handlers on what appeared to be the trails of suspicious persons found skunks instead. A year after its inception, with the threat of inva-sion diminishing, headquarters ordered a reduc-tion of the dog patrols. Even though the program was reduced 75 percent, many dogs and their handlers were placed on special guard duties. — Photos & text courtesy USCG Historian

“There is something refreshing about waking up at 5 a.m. at the beach dur-ing the summer. Although many of my

fellow researchers will disagree whole-heartedly, there's something to be said about the 40-mile ter-rapin road patrol loop first thing in the morning. The sun is just rising, the day is not yet scorching

hot, and the number of injured or dead turtles is usually at a minimum. After returning to the Institute

after breakfast and before the morning lab meeting, you get to proudly think, "I've been up for four hours already,"

as everyone else is just rolling out of bed. They hardly have a chance to rub it in that they had the extra sleep though; everyone knows that the roles will be reversed the next day.

And that's how we spent our summer: getting up with the sun, planning our days based on the tides, and building a network of friendship, support, and assistance to work towards a com-mon goal of coastal wetland conservation. Student researchers are recruited every summer to help with the many tasks and projects associated with the May/July field season of southern New Jersey wetlands. My research project involved the removal of derelict, or "ghost," crab traps from local sounds and water-ways. These traps are often put out by commercial crabbers and either forgotten, misplaced, moved by storms, or just plain left out in the water without being checked for extended periods of time. Ghost traps have a huge impact on diamondback terrapins, which may get stuck in the traps and drown during high tides.

Crabs, fish and other sea life can also get trapped and end up dying. Additionally, these traps are large pieces of trash that are polluting our marine environment. This project gave me the opportunity to take part in wetland conservation while opening doors toward future research in conservation policy and safe fishing practices. Even after the end of the intern program I am continuing to work with the Institute's researchers to investigate beneficial policy changes and run experiments to create safer trap regulations. The CCRP internship provided many great opportunities for me to learn about biology and discover my career interests for the future. And it was fun. I am really grate-ful for the experience and am excited to be able to continue my research, even if it means getting up early. Check out ter-rapinconservation.org and wetlandsinstitute.org for more info. • — Kaity Mattos34 • shore life magazine

New Jersey fine artist Debbie Weber loves the ocean, the feeling of the waves tossing her about, and relaxing on the beach. That is, when she isn’t performing her three jobs as graphic designer,

Kung Fu instructor and fine artist. “I love to watch the ocean and feel the waves. It’s like for that moment, you are really part of the earth,” said Debbie.

Debbie has been creating art since a child with an intense imag-ination and drive. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Art Degree from William Paterson University, N.J., with majors in painting, print-

making and computer art. She was also accepted into and attended classes in the Masters program at Pratt Institute, N.Y. Since 2000,

Debbie has been in numerous group exhibitions across the country."My goal as an artist is to express emotion, mood and energy,

through the eloquent suggestion of the human form in motion," said Debbie. "The art of Hung Ga Kung Fu has enhanced my ability to

communicate what happens energetically within the balance of the body and the universe on canvas. I am inspired everyday by my teacher,

Master Pedro Cepero Yee, and through my training. Another source of inspiration is the study of Anusara Yoga under my teacher and long time

friend, Jody Domerstad, of Become One Yoga and Pilates Center. Yoga helps me go deep inside to release blocked emotions, which manifest physi-

cally, which in turn allows my creativity to flow naturally and abundantly."Debbie’s background as a personal trainer, pilates instructor and yoga practi-

tioner, as well as her study of the human form through her fine art training, pro-vides her with the ability to see and correct improper body alignment. Her goal is to use art as well as Hung Ga kung fu to heal others in some special way to make their lives a little easier. Debbie also teaches a special Kung Fu Fitness class for Women at the Clifton Branch stressing fitness, strength and self-defense.

"Rhythm, harmony and balance are elements of all arts," said Debbie. "I enjoy drawing and painting women, abstract and realistic. Following the flow of curves in the female body is calming and natural. A woman, much like art, can be all things; Strong, soft, sensual, calm, nurtur-ing, masculine and feminine." To see

more of Debbie's artwork, check out Webersart.com or call 201-889-4611. •

WAVE

“It’s a beautiful spring morning on Long Beach Island, one of New Jersey’s most famous and beloved summer

destinations. Thousands are beginning their day oblivious to the horror that is about to rise from the sea. High overhead, aboard a 747 bound for Washington DC, a terrorist’s plot has gone awry. The plane nosedives into the Atlantic, and a smuggled nuclear device detonates, creating a massive under-sea landslide. Within minutes, a tsunami of unprecedented force is born, and the waves begin moving toward the Jersey Shore. By the time they make landfall, the largest will reach a height of nearly thirty feet and pack enough power to erase everything in its

path. With only one bridge to the mainland and less than three hours to evacuate, what are the odds that all the people of LBI will survive this day?” — Wave, by Wil Mara of Medford Lakes, N.J. WILMARA.COM

The Lenni Lenape Indians knew that the Jersey Shore was a priceless treasure. They used the ocean waters and tributar-ies for about 10,000 years before Henry Hudson sailed up

the river, which would be named after his exploration. Indeed, it is reported that the Indians sailed out in canoes to meet the sailing vessel, “The Half Moon.” Hudson headed south for the shore when he realized that he had not reached the passage he sought. The logbook indicates that he might have anchored in Shark River. The attraction of Belmar was evident even to the daring explorers. If the 10,000-year migration is true, the Indians might have crossed the “land bridge” between Russia and Alaska, at the end of the Ice Age. That would have to be the ultimate travel story to seek a shore vacation.

The task of harvesting fish and game was a bit more difficult than pointing to a menu in a lovely shore restaurant and having a succulent feast brought to your table. For the most part the Indians were peaceful farmers, fisher-men, hunters and conservationists. Indeed the “Delaware” tribe as settlers named them,

actually helped feed the new immigrants keeping them alive through perilous winters.While many Europeans desired the Indian lands, William Penn, actually welcomed the Dela-

ware tribe, and in true Quaker tradition desired to live in peace with all. Many critics were horrified that William Penn built the city of Philadelphia, without any fortifications, or any walls for protection. Hence, the title of “City of Brotherly Love,” as Philadelphia is known to this day. • — Gordon LeMatty

Create a Rain Garden A rain garden is a landscaped, shallow depression that allows rain to be collected and seep naturally into the ground, rather than running quickly into a storm drain. In heavy storms, water rushes into the streets from yards, driveways, and sidewalks; it then moves from storm drains into the Bay. Carried with the rushing water are fertilizer, pesticides, and petrochemicals that may have accumulated on driveways, yards, and streets.

As water in the rain garden’s shallow depression slowly percolates, microorganisms break down pesticides, pollutants are filtered out, and the nutrients are used by the plants. In addition, a planted rain garden beautifies the landscape and provides a natural habitat for birds, butterflies, and insects.

LBI Neighbors Plankton include free-floating microscopic plants (phytoplankton) and animals

(zooplankton) that range in size from tiny copepods to jellyfish. The name comes from the Greek word “planktos” meaning “drifting.” Zooplankton are floating or weakly swimming animals that rely on water currents and tides for locomotion.

Plankton are widely considered to be some of the most important organisms on Earth, because of the food supply they provide to aquatic life. Plankton are the first

link in the marine food chain, eaten by many organisms including mussels, fish, birds, and mammals. Because of their high sensitivity to the environment, plankton are

important indicators of aquatic health.

Elvis — Blue Hawaii

The year is 1961. Fallout shelters dot suburban backyards. Ken joins Barbie. Roger Maris slugs 61 home runs. And Elvis Preseley is in paradise, playing an ex-G.I. who comes home to Blue Hawaii. His mother

(Angela Lansbury) expects him to climb the corporate ladder. But Elvis would rather wear an aloha shirt than a white collar, so he goes to work as a tour guide. Lucky Elvis: his first customers are a carful of cuties. Elvis, lovely scenery, lovelier girls and rock-a-hula songs — now that's paradise. — Paramount text & art

Summertime always calls for some creative dishes that are light, yet

savory. Beach cuisine offers fun, flavorful dishes that always have an added flare.

Asian BBQ ribs are great in the sum-mer because they can be grilled and are very flavorful. Lightly season the ribs with kosher salt and ground black pepper, and marinate in Asian BBQ sauce overnight. Grill the ribs slowly and thoroughly, turning often, for 45 minutes to an hour. Add some grilled Jersey corn, flavored with unsalted butter, sea salt, lime juice, parmesan cheese and some Cajun seasoning for added excitement!

Asian BBQ Ribs:• 2 racks baby back ribs

• Asian BBQ Blend: ¼ cups teriyaki and soy sauce, 3tsp hoisan sauce, ¼ cup soy sauce, five to six grated garlic cloves, Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Grilled Jersey Corn• Husk corn, soak and rinse• Heat grill to 350 degrees• Add unsalted butter and sea salt to the corn before you grill• Grill for 15 minutes• Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning, lime juice and parmesan cheese

Baby Tomato Salad• Tomato salad is a summertime staple at the Jersey Shore. Spice up a baby-tomato salad with some green beans, onions, blue-berries, beets and yellow peppers. Mix and add some summer white-balsamic dressing for extra flavor.

Salad dressing:- 1 quart pure olive oil- 1 pint white balsamic vinegar- 2 leaves of basil – sliced

- 5 cloves of roasted garlic- ½ tablespoon sea salt- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper- Blend mixture in Cuisinart Jersey Shore LobsterLastly, what is any summer at the Shore without lobster? This quintessential beach delicacy is very easy to make. Simply boil the lobster – cook 5 minutes for the first pound and three minutes for each additional pound – and pair with some grilled aspara-gus and drawn butter for a delicious, beach-inspired treat! • Boil water, cook 5 minutes for the first pound and 3 minutes for each additional pound. Serve on a surfboard :-)

Cooperative Extension Service CTAHR Fact SheetOrnamentals and Flowers no. 23*

Issued in furtherance of Cooperative Extension work, Acts of May 8 and June 30, 1914, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Charles W. Laughlin,Director and Dean, Cooperative Extension Service, College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, Hawaii 96822.

Coconuts fall from the tree when they are ripe. Ifthe soil is loose and rainfall is sufficient, they often ger-minate and grow right where they land.

To select a coconut for germinating, choose a fallennut in which you can hear water slosh when you shakeit. Leave the husk on. Soak it in a pail of water for twoor three days before planting.

To grow a coconut palm as a house plant, usea container at least 10 inches deep and largeenough in diameter to hold the nut. Use a welldrained potting soil mix. After soaking the nut,plant it with the pointed end down and the endthat was attached to the tree upward. About athird of the nut should be above the soil level.Water it frequently, keeping the soil moist butnot wet. As long as the soil drains well, it isdifficult to give the germinating nut too muchwater. Keep the container in a warm location,preferably where the temperature never fallsbelow 70oF and often is above 80oF. Acontainer specimen should grow to bearound 5 ft high and survive in the samecontainer for about five years.

To grow the coconut in your yard,choose a site with well drained soil inpartial shade. Place the nut on its side

in a shallow hole, burying only the lower third of thenut. Water it thoroughly twice a week.

Under ideal conditions, a coconut will germinate inthree months, but otherwise it may take up to six months.At germination, the roots should push out through thehusk, and the first shoot, looking like a sharp green spear,will emerge from the cavity at the end of the nut thatwas attached to the tree. The young leaves are “entire”leaves (without leaflets), but as the plant grows, it willproduce the fronded (“pinnate”) leaves typical of thecoconut palm.

Young coconut palms grow rapidly, and theirmultiple leaves will develop into a trunk in aboutfive years. At that stage, flower clusters begin to beformed in the axil of each leaf. A few weeks afterflowering, many immature fruits will drop from thecluster. Those that remain grow rapidly, reaching

mature size in six months and becoming fullyripened in nine months. A good-sized mature

nut in its husk weighs about 6 lb, and a healthytree produces 50 nuts per year.

During the first year of growth, the co-conut plant absorbs nutrients stored in thenut. Later, it responds to fertilizer as doesany other plant.

Cuba. Located just 90 miles from the southernmost tip

of the United States (that would be Key West for you non-explorers), the Carib-bean country has recently been thrown back into the spotlight of world politics — and for worldly travel-ers.

Understand that thanks to the ef-forts of President

Barack Obama, travel restrictions and rules for sending money to rela-tives in Cuba have been loosened, but only to that of relatives. Once rela-tives begin travelling to the country, photographs will no doubt begin to merge and shed light on what ex-actly the country looks like — both the bad and good, the poverished and exotic.

But wouldn't it be so nice to hopefully see the return of the

image that Cuba once por-trayed as an exotic "Holi-day Isle of the Tropics" including Cuban music, food (really when's the last time you've had a great Cu-bano sandwich?), dancers and dare we say — a good Cuban cigar?

Alright then. Keep the image of hang-ing in a hammock,

listening to Cuban music in your mind. It's been 80-something years and the season and time is ripe for return. — Stay tuned with Cuba travel at: Travel.state.gov/travel

Anglers cited for Illegally Taking and Selling River Herring Capping a lengthy undercover investigation, Conservation

Officers with the Department of Environmental Protection’s Division of Fish and Wildlife have cited eight people for illegally taking and selling river herring from South Jersey waters. Fishermen are allowed to take up to 35 herring per day, but are not allowed to possess more than 35 herring at one time, or sell herring, unless they hold certain commercial fishing licenses. — www.state.nj.us/dep •

Species on the Edge — Art & Essay Contest Created in 2003, the Species on the Edge — Art & Essay Contest is

a great way to engage and excite New Jersey’s 5th graders into learning about our state’s over 70 endangered and threatened wildlife species. It is open to all 5th graders in public, private, or home schools, and encourages students to learn about local environmental issues; express their concerns for the world around them; think creatively about ways to improve it; and to consider how their actions impact the natural world. Educators praise the contest for encompassing inter-disciplinary teaching using science, language arts, computer technology, art, and geography. By creating these works of art and the essays about New Jersey’s wildlife, the children work as wildlife biologists. They may not see the animal but they researched it – what it looks like, where it lives, and what are the threats to its future. Because of this contest, children have a better understanding of the wild-

life and habitats of New Jersey and what we need to do to keep them in our future. Since 2003, over 5,000 children from across the state have entered the contest. These children, along with their artwork and essays, represent the diversity that is New Jersey. From the Highlands in the north to the Cape May peninsula in the south, to the urban corridor of the New York metropoli-tan area to the rolling hills and rural countryside in the west, these kids are shouting out loud…it is important to preserve and protect wildlife and their habitat, everywhere in New Jersey! – Conservewildlifenj.org for more info •

Surfrider Foundation developes "Respect the Beach" Program Respect the Beach is an exciting educational program that includes

lectures, handouts, video, and hands-on projects designed to help coastal watershed processes, shoreline ecology and coastal areas stewardship to K-12 students and community groups. The program is brought into classrooms by Surfrdier members, who represent ocean environmentalism from the surfer's perspective, and who are role models that students can relate to. Beachology uses a variety of learning formats to explore many aspects or our sandy shores including sand processes, beach ecology and human impacts. Designed for younger grades K-6. Watershed Works utilizes activities designed around simple models that simulate land and water features to explore the processes that create our watersheds and landforms an how they relate to modern environmental problems. Designed for older stu-dents grades 5-12. The latest addition to Respect the Beach is the short film Sea To Summit: A Journey Through the Watershed. As part of the Watershed Works series, this video traces the entire hydrologic cycle as it falls to earth in the form of precipitation, before filtering down through watersheds into urban and agricultural areas and finally flows out to sea, where it is eventually evaporated into the atmosphere to star the entire process over again. — Surfridersnj.com

White Checkered Butterflyby Sarah Daly, Ocean County

"Hi! My name is Sarah and I'm a white checkered butterfly. My French name is "Pontiac pro-

sodic”. I love my checkered patterns. Also my species are threatened so please help before I become extinct.

Some facts about my habitat are, since I'm a threat-ened insect I have to find good place to live like in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Florida, and south to the Pacific. I'm disturbed a lot so alfalfa fields and waste lots are where I shouldn't be. Mainly, we white checkered butterflies stay in small colonies if you know where to look. Also buds, fruits, flowers, nectar, mustard, and alfalfa plants are some of my favorite foods.

What I look like is I have a black body and my wings are a black and white checkered pattern. Also I have two black attends and little black feet. My wing span is to 1 l/2-2t/2 (3.8-6.8cm). Also my cocoons are a white green color. Now you know what I look like, and that might help me become less endangered in the future.

There's only one reliable place to find me, one of the rarest butterflies. I feed on cabbage and other plants such as turnip and mustard. Also some checkered but-terflies can be found from April until November.

I think the white checkered butterfly is an amaz-ing insect that shouldn't ever become extinct. All the information that I know can help more animals." •
