most of the lesser quality photos on Belmardays.com are taken with my Blackberry curve, the hi res photos are taken with a Canon EOS D20 and a Canon 2.8f 28-70 zoom lense

The ATT Blackberry Curve allows me to take the picture and then upload it right away to the blog via MMS, the Iphone is very nice, but somehow Apple decide to not include MMS on the phone

Spring Lake's Craig Biggio becomes 27th player to reach 3,000 hits

Astros' Biggio becomes 27th player to reach 3,000 hits

By KRISTIE RIEKEN, AP Sports Writer
June 29, 2007

HOUSTON (AP) -- Spring Lake NJ resident, Craig Biggio was exhausted and ready to talk about his latest accomplishment. He still had some time for an old friend, though.

"Hey Frankie, how you doing," he said nodding to a slight teenager with a mop of dark hair.



Biggio joined the 3,000 hit club and Carlos Lee hit a grand slam in the 11th inning as the Houston Astros beat the Colorado Rockies 8-5 Thursday night.

Biggio met the 15-year-old Frankie Velasquez through his work with The Sunshine Kids Foundation, an organization which helps children with cancer, when Velasquez was 6 and has kept in touch with him since.

"He's one of a kind," Velasquez said. "He's done so much for us Sunshine Kids and I'll always be grateful to him. Seeing this happen was a once in a lifetime experience."

Lee's drive to left field off Brian Fuentes (0-3) came on the first pitch. Biggio singled in the 11th -- for just his second career five-hit game -- and Hunter Pence followed with a double before Lance Berkman was hit by a pitch to load the bases.

"I think it was the way it was supposed to be done," Biggio said as he choked back tears. "To have it happen here -- that was a special atmosphere that was out there today."

In other NL games, it was: Los Angeles 9, Arizona 5; Philadelphia 8, Cincinnati 7 in 10 innings; and Florida 9, Pittsburgh 7. St. Louis' game at the New York Mets was rained out.

Troy Tulowitzki's solo shot off Brian Moehler (1-2) to lead off the 11th inning made it 5-4. The loss extends Colorado's season-high losing streak to seven games.

Biggio became the 27th player to reach the mark with his single to center in the seventh inning. The second baseman was thrown out trying to stretch the play into a double on his third hit of the night, which tied the game at 1.

"I couldn't have scripted it any better," Biggio said. "There are a lot of things that have happened over the past 20 years but tonight is the best."

Biggio is the first player to reach 3,000 hits since Rafael Palmeiro on July 15, 2005, with Baltimore. He passed Roberto Clemente for 26th on the career list with his fourth hit, a ninth-inning single.

The 41-year-old, who entered the season needing 70 hits to reach the milestone, has played his entire 20-year career with the Astros, making him the longest tenured player in franchise history.

Biggio's milestone came one day shy of the 19th anniversary of his first career hit, a single off Orel Hershiser on June 29, 1988.

Fireworks went off, the counter in left-center field with red illuminated numbers ticked to 3,000 and a giant banner with his picture and "3,000" that spanned from the train track to the roof of the stadium was unveiled after the hit.

He dragged Jeff Bagwell, a teammate for 15 seasons, onto the field after reaching the mark. After all the two went through together, he wanted to share the moment with him.

"I'm just so proud of him," Bagwell said. "I just want everyone to appreciate that that's the kind of person he is off the field as well the kind he is on it. I'll never forget this moment." ^Marlins 9, Pirates 7=

Scott Olsen struck out his first five batters and finished with 10, one shy of his career high, as host Florida avoided a three-game sweep.

Mike Jacobs and Hanley Ramirez each had three of Florida's 15 hits, and Matt Treanor hit a two-run homer, his first since June 20 last year off Baltimore's Daniel Cabrera.

Florida led 5-0 after two innings and 8-2 before Pittsburgh scored five runs in the seventh. Adam LaRoche had a two-run homer for the Pirates, who lost for the sixth time in eight games.

Olsen (6-6) gave up five runs and seven hits in six-plus innings, becoming the first Marlins pitcher to start a game with five strikeouts. Kevin Gregg pitched the ninth for his 15th save.

Zach Duke (3-7) allowed six runs and 12 hits in four innings, dropping to 1-2 in six June starts. ^Dodgers 9, Diamondbacks 5=

Russell Martin spoiled Randy Johnson's return with a home run and finished with three hits for visiting Los Angeles, which took three of four in the series.

Randy Wolf (9-6) allowed three runs in six-plus innings and Jeff Kent drove in three runs for the Dodgers, who opened a half-game lead over idle San Diego in the NL West. Arizona trails Los Angeles by one game.

Johnson (4-3), who went on the 15-day disabled list June 16 retroactive to June 11 with muscle tightness in his buttocks and a sore back, never looked comfortable in his first start in 18 days.

The 43-year-old left-hander allowed four runs -- three earned -- and six hits in three innings. He struck out two, walked two and hit a batter with a pitch. ^Phillies 8, Reds 7, 10 innings=

Jimmy Rollins had four hits, including a game-winning RBI single in the bottom of the 10th inning for Philadelphia.

Chase Utley hit a pair of two-run homers for the Phillies, who pulled within three games of NL East-leading New York.

Alex Gonzalez, Adam Dunn and Edwin Encarnacion each homered for Cincinnati, which finished its road trip at 3-6.

Pinch-hitter Rod Barajas led off the 10th with a walk against Victor Santos (1-3). One out later, Abraham Nunez laced a single to left field. Rollins worked the count full before lacing a line drive to the right-center field gap to end the game.

Clay Condrey (3-0) escaped a first-and-second, two-out jam in the 10th to pick up the victory.

Belmar honors 15 lifeguards

Belmar honors 15 lifeguards

Post Comment
BELMAR — The borough plans to staff its beaches with lifeguards earlier in the summer tourist season as the weather dictates, Mayor Kenneth E. Pringle said at Wednesday's Borough Council meeting.

The announcement came after the mayor and council awarded 15 lifeguards with a resolution honoring them for saving the lives of 11 swimmers in the waters off Belmar on June 11, just a few days before the guards were set to go on duty full-time.

Municipal beach patrols in Monmouth County typically start Memorial Day weekend and then work each weekend after, until about mid-June, when the guards are on duty seven days a week.

Michael Marino, 77, a resident who lives on Eighth Avenue, said he's been an advocate of longer beach seasons for over a decade.

"Twelve years ago, I recommended a lifeguard presence for the middle of May to the end of September," Marino said.

Pringle said his administration will explore the logistics of such a proposal and come up with a plan by spring to ensure "a quick response" to incidents like the one for which the guards were honored Wednesday night.

Carrie Rider, 21, an off-duty borough lifeguard, was on the beachfront about 11 a.m. on June 11 when she spotted three swimmers near the 16th Avenue jetty who were being swept into a fast moving rip current. Eight other swimmers, some trying to offer assistance, would also get pulled in before the ordeal ended.

Meanwhile, Ryan Matthews, 24, another off-duty guard and one of the beach patrol's top performers in competitive lifesaving tournaments, was working out off the 15th Avenue beach on a paddleboard, when he spotted the frenzy going on one block south.

Earlier that Monday morning, scattered across the beachfront, 13 other lifeguards had been hard at work organizing and assembling equipment in preparation for the following Saturday, the first day guards were to go on duty full-time.

By 11 a.m. they were supposed to have been gone. But Bill Karatz, Belmar's chief lifeguard, had gauged the size of the crowds — he estimated 1,000 people were on the beach — and decided to keep the guards on until about 2 p.m. By late morning, many of them had finished their assigned work and were just keeping an informal watch on the beach.

Three days earlier, in an off-duty accident, Rider had been struck in the face with a surfboard and had to be patched up with six stitches. She was under doctor's orders not to go into the water.

She hurried over to where some of her colleagues had a short time earlier unloaded some lifesaving gear, found a radio and began calling for help before eventually going into the water herself to help with the rescue.

In addition to Rider and Matthews, the responding guards were Tim O'Donnell, Andy Rogers, Gene Weiss, Devin Peppler, Ryan Cunard, Stephanie Brady, Allyson Weinkofsky, Traci Jessop, Anthony Arnold, Chris Jessop, Mike MacDonald, Ellen Mitchell and Andrew Harsin.

Boston's Crimestoppers offer anonymous SMS snitch service

Imagine if they used this in Belmar with the rentals ?????/

We appreciate the citizenry's need to pause and blow the whistle on occasion and therefore really dig Boston's Crimestopper's idea to let the snitching happen in beautiful texting anonymity. Crimestoppers has existed for more than a decade in Boston (and many other spots across the nation) as an anonymous phone service, but the new "Text a Tip" program is a first in the country. To sell somebody out, all ya have to do is send a text message with the word TIP in the subject line to CRIME (27463) and then let the police do all the tough work. We expect this will catch on and if so you may well be seeing this program in your neck of the woods in the not too distant future

New Summer menu at Matisse in Belmar

 

We had this dish Monday night Day Boat Scallops ...ok what does that mean ...There has been a growing demand, spearheaded by American chefs, for untainted product. We call these "day boat scallops," which means the fishermen go out for a single day, returning to market with untreated fresh shellfish. You can identify a day boat scallop by its ivory and coral color. Bleached scallops are very white. Also, ask your fishmonger to remove the side muscle of the scallop; this will save you valuable minutes in the kitchen.

Gale Belmar LLC awarded New Jersey Future’s 2007 Smart Growth Award

Gale Belmar LLC awarded New Jersey Future’s 2007 Smart Growth Award
By Press Release Thursday, June 14 2007, 08:07 PM EDT Views: 140
ROSELAND, NJ, -- JUNE 14, 2007 --New Jersey Future, a statewide research and policy group, has named Gale Belmar LLC recipient of the 2007 Smart Growth Award for the first phase of its $500-million mixed-use development initiative known as Belmar Seaport Village. The award was presented on June 7 at the Newark Club in Newark, NJ.

Gale Belmar LLC, a subsidiary of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, is the master developer of Belmar Seaport Village. The development of Belmar Seaport Village is managed by The Gale Construction Company LLC, which is also a subsidiary of Mack-Cali.

New Jersey Future’s Smart Growth Awards honor town officials, developers, contractors, architects, and corporate leaders who exemplify sound land use practice through the implementation of smart growth principles and the State Development and Redevelopment Plan. The awards recognize individuals, businesses or organizations with the vision to approve or build projects that resist status quo growth patterns and encourage smart growth values and designs.

“This Smart Growth Award is a great honor for us,” said Thomas Walsh, managing director of Gale Belmar LLC and president of The Gale Construction Company LLC. “As a firm, we are greatly invested in the redevelopment of Belmar, and we believe that this overall project, which exemplifies the principles of smart growth, will bring great things to the town throughout the years to come. Through our close work with the project’s architect, Newwork Architecture, and the Borough of Belmar, we have been able to plan a large-scale project that truly showcases sustainable design at its best.”

Gale Belmar LLC received approvals for the first phase of the redevelopment project – 800 Main Street, which has been named East Light – in February 2007. East Light will encompass 38 new condominiums/townhouses, 9,500 square feet of ground floor retail space and 76 covered parking spaces.

The development of Belmar Seaport Village has been a model public/private partnership with an open and community-led planning effort to obtain consensus on the needs and goals of the entire Belmar community. Gale Belmar has held several public design workshops that have led to the adoption of the Belmar Seaport Village Design Guide, which will govern all future development in this redevelopment area. Additional forums have resulted in: a Green Design program to ensure economic, social and environmental sustainability of the town; a Retail Master Plan to create a year-round shopping destination; quality streetscapes, pocket parks and green roofs that add to the quality of life of Belmar residents; and an in-depth analysis of traffic, parking and utility infrastructure.

In addition, Belmar has embarked on a town-wide Sustainability Plan to ensure the long-term economic, cultural, and environmental viability of the community. At the heart of this is The Seaport Redevelopment Plan, which will strengthen the town’s tax base, build upon New Jersey’s Smart Growth strategy and preserve and improve the natural environment of Belmar and the region.

Sustainable design is one of the most notable features of Belmar Seaport Village. Key sustainable design principles will include more efficient use of previously developed land, reducing automobile dependence, increasing pedestrian activity, improving interior and exterior air quality, decreasing storm-water run-off and reducing the use of limited natural resources. These standards are designed around the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Rating System, the nationally recognized industry standard for sustainable building.

Jimi's Main Street Cheesesteaks are seasoned with a dash of 'tude

Jimi's Main Street Cheesesteaks are seasoned with a dash of 'tude
Posted by the Asbury Park Press on 06/8/07
BY ANDREA CLURFELD
FOOD EDITOR

The guy rolls his eyes at his friend, but it's not an eye roll that indicates insult; it's an eye roll of admiration. I'm picking up food at Jimi's Main Street Cheesesteaks in Belmar and, as the fellow behind the counter ticks off my order, he doesn't list the Bacon-Mozzarella Fries.

"You got the Bacon-Mozz Fries in there, right?" I ask.

"Oh, yeah, I do. Sorry. They're in there," he replies.

This is when the eye-rolling occurs.

"I've got to change my order," the one guy says to the other. "I've got to have her fries."

Vindicated, I strike up a conversation. "What do you eat here?" The pair, now waiting for the addition to their order, considers. "Cheesesteaks, with peppers and onions, the chicken cheesesteaks. We come down here from Middletown."

Impressive. A few minutes earlier, the chief order-taker told me he'd just finished off a Garlic Butter Cheesesteak. He shakes his head, again not a gesture of scorn, but of pleasure, to indicate his satisfaction level. Apparently, you don't need words at Jimi's to express taste-bud nirvana.

You also don't need space to have a social time. Though this is but a takeout joint, with square footage that inches toward the negative numbers, folks cram in and dish while their order is speedily prepped. By the time I leave, hopes of taking my hefty bag of grub to the beach dashed by dark and darker incoming clouds, I've made seven new friends.

"Do the Tex Mess," one has advised me.

"Get the Bacon Cheddar," mandates another.

Jimi's has put me in a completely agreeable mood, so I oblige pretty much everyone. The chief order-taker is also the guy with the best taste: That Garlic Butter Cheesesteak ($6.25) is subtle, yet alluring, made, as the menu states, with "chopped garlic and real butter." Real butter always does it for me.

The Bacon Cheddar Cheesesteak ($6.50) needs perhaps a slather more of cheese and a sharper, more distinctive cheddar, to boot. But I don't dismiss it. Nor do I think the fact that the horseradish sauce on the Baja Chicken Cheesesteak ($6.75) could be tangier, kickier makes it one to avoid: Au contraire, it's got a nice attitude about it.

The irresistibly named Tex Mess ($7.95), a layering of shaved steak, BBQ sauce, cheddar poppers, lettuce, chips and then, for good measure, a slather of extra cheese, is a spunky goofball of a sandwich. In fact, the only thing that disappoints me at Jimi's, which is one of Belmar's busiest places the minute school lets out, are those Bacon Mozzarella Fries ($4.50). They need seasoning. Without a blast of cooked-in salt and pepper, neither the bacon nor the mozz link to the spuds.

I owe that eye-rolling guy an order of mac-and-cheese bites. That's what the chief order-taker recommended. I should've listened.

COASTAL MONMOUTH BUREAU


BELMAR — Carrie Rider, an off-duty borough lifeguard, was on the 16th Avenue beach Monday when she spotted three swimmers near the jetty who were getting in over their heads.

That was the first sign of trouble, and it quickly escalated. In all, 14 lifeguards were involved in the rescue of 11 people from a rip current that developed because of a gap in the jetty and northeast winds.

"Definitely, we would have had multiple drownings" had guards not been in the vicinity, said one rescuer, longtime lifeguard Tim O'Donnell..

Web site to show 'animal houses' in Belmar

Web site to show 'animal houses' in Belmar


By ERIK LARSEN
Gannett News Service


BELMAR
With a little help from Google Earth, visitors to the municipal Web site soon will be able to zoom in on a satellite picture or map of the borough's 320 summer rental homes to a street-level view of the properties.

Click on a specific address and up will come details about a property, which will enable visitors to keep tabs on the legal status of rentals designated as "animal houses" in Belmar, Mayor Kenneth E. Pringle said.

"We expect to have photos of the 81 animal houses (in Belmar) uploaded by the end of next week," said Kevin O'Donnell, the borough's Web master. "Over time we will also be including information regarding the status of recent summonses issued against the property, occupancy limits of the units, et cetra."

Pringle said the information online will serve not only the interests of permanent residents wary and watchful of summer rowdies, but those seasonal renters with an interest in properties subject to legal entanglements.

As of this weekend, Monmouth County Sheriff's officers have assisted Belmar police in standing watch over four rental properties in Belmar (at the expense of the homeowners) judged to be habitual animal houses, Police Chief Jack Hill said.

Visitors who log on to the Belmar Web site beginning this week or next will be able to stand watch on their own via a Google satellite view or map of Belmar. Rentals will be depicted by colored icons with the color to reflect summonses issued and if the property is an animal house, O'Donnell said.

In one column, visitors will be able to scroll down a list of rentals by address. The visitor will also be able to activate a filter so that certain categories of rentals may be viewed separately (e.g. properties that haven't had a summons for one year to those that now require an armed guard).

When a visitor clicks on an icon, a box will open with the address, lot and block number, owner's name, the number of rental units on that particular property and in the case of animal houses, the amount of the bond posted by the property owner, O'Donnell said.

Eventually, thumbnail photos taken at street level of the properties will be included in the box, which may be enlarged by clicking on the photo. O'Donnell said that feature may take another few weeks to perfect, given the volume of photos that need to be taken and uploaded to the borough's server.

Some of this information is already online, but in the form of charts and lists somewhat difficult to find and navigate. One piece of information that visitors still won't be able to find: Privacy laws prevent the borough from obtaining the names of the legal tenants on the leases, Pringle said.

Pat McMahon, director of code enforcement in Belmar, said the number of summer rentals as of Memorial Day weekend was 320. At this time last year, there were 356 rentals, with 390 by Labor Day weekend. In 1993, there were 1,500 such rentals in town.

"A few years ago, on a major summer weekend, we would get about 40 noise complaints, now we're in the 20s. We're making an impact, and we're going to keep the pressure on," Hill said.

In a letter to summer renters this year, which Pringle wrote and hand-delivered himself to many of the rentals, he wrote: "If you've been here before, you can see that Belmar is changing. Every year, more and more rentals are replaced by owner-occupied homes . . . If it seems like Belmar just keeps getting more strict, it's not your imagination."

Lee Dugan, 23, of New Milford, a renter in Belmar, said he thought the letter was "pretty stern," but his roommates were more preoccupied with the mayor's unannounced visit.

"He just said he was checking in on every house," Dugan said, expressing surprise. "Our first reaction was, we must be in a lot of trouble if the mayor is knocking on our front door."

"We respect the fact we're not locals," said Mike Califano, 24, of Fair Lawn, another summer renter.

"Everyone my age loves to be down here. It's a good time. (But) sometimes law enforcement is a little tough
