Little Egg Harbor Animal Rescue   If you live in southern Ocean County, or have read my blog, you're aware that Manahawkin is home to the Southern Ocean County Animal Facility.  It's one of two shelters serving Ocean County and administered by the Ocean County Health Department. What you might not know is that in Little Egg Harbor there is a not for profit, no-kill animal rescue made up entirely of volunteers. It’s called the Little Egg Harbor Animal Rescue(LEHAR).  These volunteers are dedicated to the health, rehabilitation, care and home placement of unwanted, abused, or abandoned animals in danger of being euthanized. LEHAR's no kill policy means just that…animals are not be euthanized. LEHAR has been helping animals in need since 1993. The goals include lowering the euthanasia rate... 11/06/2008

Looking for Indoor Activities?   We change the clocks this weekend, and that means we’ll all be hunkering down for the dark days of winter here at the Jersey Shore.   Why not find some new indoor activities to pass the time?   The Little Egg Harbor Branch of the Ocean County Library is offering an Introductory Chess Class tomorrow, November 1st. Children 7 and older, as well as adults and caregivers are invited. The class runs from 11am til 1pm. (That'll give you time to attend the Fur Fest!)   Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate or experienced chess player come on over.   If you’re already player, you can assist some of the newbies!   Space is limited, so call the Library at 609-294-1197 to register!     Keller Williams Atlantic Shore Laura Giannotta Waretown Homes, Barnegat Homes... 10/31/2008

Watch the skies and listen… Halloween is my favorite time of year! And the reason is not only the numerous showings of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. The primary reason these days is the Jersey Devil, who makes (made) his home in the NJ Pine Barrens! Never heard of him? Well he’s also known as the Leeds Devil, and is rumored to be the 13th child born to old Mother Leeds.   The story goes like this… Mother Leeds had 12 children and after giving life to the dozen, she said if she had another it would be the Devil. In 1735, her friends gathered round as a storm rolled in and Mother Leeds went into labor for the 13th time. The child was born normal, but then changed form. It changed from a normal baby to a creature with hooves, a horses head, bat wings and a forked tail. It growled and scre... 10/20/2008

Fall has arrived at the Jersey Shore! The fall/winter clothes are out of storage and the comforters on the beds. Being close to the Ocean, we enjoy a few extra weeks of warmth here at the Jersey Shore. But temperatures are cooling. Summer is my favorite season, though the crowds at the Jersey Shore can be trying at times. What I’ll miss most… · The first Jersey corn at the farm stand · The first Jersey tomatoes at the farm stand · The warm sun that you can feel in your bones · Cook outs and long days · Fresh Italian Ice The fresh vegetables at the farm stand have now been replaced by pumpkins and gourds. The warm sun is now tempered by a chilly breeze. The grills’ in the shed, and the plants from the deck have their indoor windows. It will soon be dark at 5pm and the Italian Ice stand ... 10/13/2008

This is not a political point of view. It is a reminder for all New Jersey residents to register to vote for the upcoming November 4th Election. The deadline is tomorrow October 14th. In addition to the Presidential race, we have one US Senate candidate to elect and all 13 seats in the House up for grabs. New Jersey also has two ballot questions to decide. One of the State constitutional amendments would require future state borrowing be approved by the voters. and the other would allow local judges to serve in more than one municipality.   If you think that one vote during these challenging times might not make a difference, remember voting is a privilege and necessary in any democracy. Many voter registration sites will be open tomorrow evening. You can check for your community here.... 10/13/2008

The good news is that the number of new listings in these 2 shore communities dropped slightly in August, 2008. In Little Egg Harbor Township, 76 homes were listed for sale in August, bringing the total inventory to 491.  Those newly listed homes ranged in price from $100,000 for a one bedroom condo to $799,000 for a large waterfront home.  Home sales in August, 2008 really took a dive in Little Egg Harbor when compared to sales during the same period last year.  In August 2007, 32 residential single family units sold in Little Egg.  Compare that to only 15 closing this year!     Tuckerton on the other hand saw 6 homes sales in August, 2008 compared to 4 in August, 2008.  Some more good news in Tuckerton, one home was listed and sold in a few weeks this past month!
