Dogs on the Beach

As the summer season approaches Belmar residents are reminded that the seasonal regulations for dog walking on the beach are about to change.   In Belmar,  dogs are not allowed on the boardwalk and dogs are prohibited year round on the Natural Beach between the Belmar Fishing Club and the Shark River Inlet.  All of these areas are clearly marked with signs.

You can read the Belmar Ordinances, Chapter XVIII section 2.7  here.    Belmar residents are still allowed to walk dogs on the beach until April 30th when the new seasonal rules take effect.  Of course,  all dog walkers are required to have a leash and a bag or device to remove droppings.  Until then, enjoy the beach with your best friend and then we all have to make room for our summer visitors.

Holidays for Marines in Afghanistan

I am proud to have a son ( Captain Adam Campbell) serving in the USMC  in Kandahar Afghanistan.  Adam advised that with the holidays approaching the best things to send to the troops  are Phone cards , SKYPE cards and Itune cards. Adam advised that he would disperse any cards to enlisted Marines wishing to call home for the holidays.  My son is a Harrier Pilot assigned to VMA 231.  This squadron has over 200 marines in Kandahar.  VMA 231 is charged with flying close air support (CAS) for the united troops serving in Afghanistan.  VMA 231 is due to return the beginning of summer 2010.  I encourage any one who wishes to donate cards to the marines to write a quick note that can be sent with your gift.

Many of you have already donated DVD’s to the marines. To date we have sent over 500 DVD’s to Afghanistan.  These are in a central location for all to check out. DVD’s are still being accepted by Belmar Recreation and sent to Afghanistan.

Thank you for all you do for our brave Men and Women serving so far from home.

Kayaking the Shark River

Down at the Belmar Marina, next to the charter fishing boats, is a little shack — we call it the Yak Shack. That’s the place to go when you want to cool off in the water after a hot day on the beach. Shark River Kayak Co offers guided kayak tours of the Shark River as well as the Shark River basin. You can also rent kayaks and go exploring on your own. All the kayaks are sit-on-top style, and you have the option of renting a single (for one person) or a tandem (built for two). They also offer fishing kayaks, which are set up to hold all your fishing gear and have up to 6 rod holders. Life vests and paddles are included in the rental price.

Visit www.SharkRiverKayaks.com for more information or call (732) 749-0490.

Gazebo Arrives at 8th & Main

As part of continuing plans to improve the lot at the corner of 8th Avenue and Main Street, a small gazebo was put in place as a decorative seating area. The lot will be edged by arborvitae trees and the area around the gazebo will be landscaped with flowers and native shrubs, in a design created by members of Belmar’s Green Team.

Energy Audit Proposals Underway

Belmar received approval by the New Jersey Clean Energy Program to participate in its Local Government Energy Audit Program. On behalf of the Green Team, Resident Tom Latza, a Rutger’s University Environmental Steward Intern, compiled the comprehensive data needed to apply for audits on the three buildings selected for the first round of audits: Taylor Pavilion, Borough Hall and Union Fire Company. Next, proposals will be sent to state-authorized auditing firms.  The Clean Energy Program subsidizes the cost of the audit, up to 100%. When complete, the audits will recommend cost-justified energy efficiency measures, some of which will be eligible for grants identified by the Clean Energy Program.

Volunteers Plant Main Street Flowers

Rain did not stop nearly a dozen Green Team members from planting flowers in the Main Street barrel planters that had been set on every street corner by the Department of Public Works. Most of the flowers were started from seed in the Magical Garden Community Garden greenhouse on 15th Avenue at E Street, and are expected to fill out the planters nicely in the coming weeks. The use of “homegrown” flowers and volunteer labor were a cost savings for the borough, and everyone involved was glad to be a part of the planting.
