New Life For An Old Boardwalk
April 11, 1986
Special to the Daily News
For most families, a visit to Ocean City, Md., traditionally has included a stroll along the town's 2 1/2-mile-long wooden boardwalk. In the summer of 1986, the scenario will be much the same. It's the boardwalk that will have changed. It will sport a new, sturdier herringbone design from 5th Street to 27th Street. Ever since Hurricane Gloria destroyed more than half of the resort's boardwalk in late September 1985, Mayor Roland Powell and the City Council have been overseeing a $2-million reconstruction project slated for completion May 1. Even so, the boardwalk has been far from out of commission all winter long.
Businesses Want Repairs On Boardwalk
March 19, 1986
By Fen Montaigne, Inquirer Staff Writer
Six months after Hurricane Gloria badly damaged a large section of the Boardwalk, the city government still has not repaired the world-famous walkway, and some casinos and merchants are complaining that their business is suffering. Hurricane Gloria, which struck on Sept. 27, tore up and buckled several parts of the Boardwalk, including a five-block section in the heart of town near Convention Hall. That stretch of the walkway, which undulates badly and is partially closed, has blocked the passage of Boardwalk trams that normally carry passengers to two casino-hotels and some Boardwalk shops.
Envisioning A Boardwalk Not Made Of Boards
August 23, 1987
By Doreen Carvajal, Inquirer Staff Writer
With every wheeze and creak of Southern yellow pine nailed flat along this resort's fabled herringbone Boardwalk, there is a tale of the city and a tale of woe. Here in the sea wind, fighter Jack Dempsey thudded along the sun-bleached boards in training for a boxing match, automobile magnate Henry Ford rumbled by in a wicker rolling chair, and baseball great Joe DiMaggio strolled toward the lacy whitecaps of the Atlantic. The splintering planks creak with history, but they also groan with financial difficulties for Atlantic City, which is now mulling the once unthinkable for its wide, four-mile wooden walk.
Fewer think Boardwalk ruined
January 18, 2013
By Wayne Parry, Associated Press
ATLANTIC CITY - First, the good news for this resort: Fewer people now erroneously believe the Boardwalk was destroyed by Hurricane Sandy. The bad news? Twenty-five percent of respondents to an online survey still think it was. Tourism officials fear the misconception is discouraging some visitors. The Atlantic City Alliance, the new marketing arm of the casino resort, said the survey represents an improvement from a similar poll in November, in which 41 percent of respondents believed the entire Boardwalk was gone.
Town's boardwalk repairs lag
February 22, 2013
By Wayne Parry, Associated Press
AVON, N.J. - Many Jersey Shore towns pummeled by Hurricane Sandy have been racing to rebuild their beachfronts and boardwalks for the summer season. But things have not gone so smoothly in this Monmouth County town. Unlike its next-door neighbor, Belmar, which already has rebuilt nearly half its boardwalk, Avon is lagging, dogged by its on-again, off-again handling of a deal to rebuild a boardwalk restaurant, a court injunction over an eighth-of-an-inch difference in the size of boards between one company's bid and another's, and a protest by environmentalists over the town's plan to use rain-forest wood to rebuild the walkway.
Boardwalk Shops Burn In Wildwood
December 12, 1987
By Michael B. Coakley, Inquirer Staff Writer
A fire that raged out of control for more than two hours last night destroyed a block of shops and eateries on Wildwood's boardwalk, fire officials said. At least 400 firefighters from nine volunteer fire companies battled the blaze, which broke out at 7:54 p.m. in the row of one-story wooden buildings lining the boardwalk between Spencer and Young Avenues, fire officials said. The fire was declared under control shortly after 10 p.m., but officials said firefighters would remain on the scene through the night.
The Boardwalk Belongs To Babies
August 12, 1990
The Philadelphia Inquirer / REBECCA BARGER
It's only the best for baby when Ocean City has its annual tiny tots parade on the boardwalk. There are marching bands and string bands and prizes for the cutest girls and boys. This year, there were little ones in antique prams and all sorts of creative get-ups, some helped along by their parents. Even some commercial floats joined in. About 266 children, all younger than 10, took part when the 81st annual show began at Sixth Street on Thursday. Almost two hours later, when the 38 judges - all female - had completed their task, they had more than 30 awards to give in different categories.
Festivity Along The Boardwalk
June 16, 1995
By Jack Lloyd, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Atlantic City may never reestablish itself as "America's Favorite Playground," even though we still hear the slogan in certain optimistic, gung-ho circles at the Shore. But don't tell that to the folks sponsoring Beach Fest '95 this weekend. Billed as one of the largest free family festivals on the Eastern Seaboard, the three-day event is being sponsored by the Atlantic City Offshore Racing Association (ACORA), which has dedicated itself to promoting the city. Although most of the entertainment these days is in the casino-hotel showrooms, the showroom in this case will be the Atlantic City beach and Boardwalk, from one end to the other.
Boardwalk Gets A Soaping
August 13, 1986
By BILL KENT, Special to the Daily News
What's in the mysterious crate on the Port Charles waterfront, marked "Atlantic City Tumble Dry"? And what will happen to renegade rookie policeman Frisco Jones and his new wife, Felicia, unjustly accused of filching $45,000 and a fur coat? Will they be done in by the sinister septuagenarian hit woman, Edna Hit? "As we say on the show, tune in next time," said Jerry Balme, coordinating producer of "General Hospital" (weekdays at 3 p.m. on Channel 6), the outrageous Los Angeles-based television soap opera, which taped a series of scenes on the Boardwalk here yesterday.
Wildwood boardwalk was a world of wonders
August 6, 2004
As an adult, I find the expression trite now. But as a child, I thought it a truly magical destination. It was the boardwalk in Wildwood - the only place I ever wanted to be. Its path was infinite, impossible to conquer in a single night from Sportland to Fun Pier. To this day, I can still smell the creosote that permeated the air on a humid August night. I can recall walking with my parents, wondering where all those rides, lights and arcades had come from. Who put them there, and why?

Morey's Piers plans a sleepover on the boardwalk
September 22, 2014
By Jacqueline L. Urgo, Inquirer Staff Writer
WILDWOOD - Maybe you've had one of those evenings on the boardwalk when the rides have tired you out so much you just want to lie down right there and have a snooze beneath the glimmering lights and speeding roller coasters. Well now you can, because on Oct. 4, Morey's Piers will host a first-ever outdoor sleepover on the pier. It's called the "Boardwalk Bunk-Down," and beginning at noon that day, campers can bring tents, sleeping bags, and other supplies to Morey's Adventure Pier and set up camp.
A year after Shore fire, businesses remain in limbo
September 8, 2014
By Angelo Fichera, Inquirer Staff Writer
SEASIDE HEIGHTS, N.J. - In a hut beneath a blue awning, his colorful taffy and delectable chocolates on display, Bernt Hage has eked out a season on a piece of boardwalk that had been reduced to its literal limits. While Hage's temporary 200-square-foot structure serves its purpose, it's in no way comparable to his two Berkeley Sweet Shop locations lost in a massive fire last year. At 3,000 square feet, his main location allowed patrons to watch as a 1948 German taffy machine worked its magic.
Seaside Heights will acquire famed boardwalk carousel
September 6, 2014
By Michael Boren, Inquirer Staff Writer
The hand-carved carousel in Seaside Heights, a longtime boardwalk staple that was set to be sold in an auction, is back from the dead. Borough officials introduced an ordinance Wednesday that would allow Seaside Heights to acquire the 104-year-old ride, coined the Dr. Floyd L. Moreland Historic Dentzel/Looff Carousel. The owners of Casino Pier - who were planning to sell it - would receive oceanfront property in exchange, according to the ordinance. The man whose name the carousel bears said Thursday he was "ecstatic" about the plan.
Easier beach access promised for Lady Antebellum concert
August 3, 2014
By Julia Terruso, Inquirer Staff Writer
Even the Grammy-nominated country superstar Blake Shelton was impressed by the turnout for Thursday's free beach concert in Atlantic City. "That's got to be some kind of fire hazard," he said, looking out at the ocean of people. The show - a huge success for the beleaguered resort - had some crowd-control challenges given the massive turnout, which officials said they aim to fix for Sunday's second free show, featuring Lady Antebellum. Police reported no arrests and only minor incidents like dehydration.
Mayor's daily, early-morning check of A.C.'s pulse
July 28, 2014
By Amy S. Rosenberg, Inquirer Staff Writer
ATLANTIC CITY - Every mayor of this vexing town deals with its ghosts at some point and maybe that is why they are drawn to very physically take in the entire place every day. Jim Whelan rowed or swam around the city's back bay and ocean. Lorenzo Langford walked the Boardwalk in a track suit. Now, it is Don Guardian's turn. And sure enough, this Atlantic City mayor's days begin with a 6:30 a.m. bicycle ride the length of the Boardwalk and back to his home near Gardner's Basin.
The Jersey shore gets ready for the Fourth
July 4, 2014
By Jan Hefler and Clark Mindock, Inquirer Staff Writers
Unseasonably warm ocean temperatures, mostly sunny weekends, and pent-up feelings that linger from the bitter winter have launched a successful start to the summer season at the Jersey Shore. That's the sense many business owners, tourism officials, lifeguards, beach-tag sellers, and Realtors get after assessing the beach crowds that have materialized so far, two years after Sandy. They also expect the July Fourth weekend to continue the good fortune and boost the outlook for the rest of the summer.
Don't gamble on your summertime fun
June 6, 2014
BY CHUCK DARROW, Daily News Staff Writer email@example.com, 215-313-3134
DESPITE THE seemingly daily drumbeat of bad news from Atlantic City, there are still 11 casino-hotels in business, and each one is continuously devising ways to attract and keep customers. From new shows and beach bars to old-favorite restaurants, from spa treatments to ultracool hangouts, there is plenty to see and do (and eat and drink) in AyCee this summer. Here's the Daily News list of 22 noteworthy attractions - two at each gambling den - to put fun in your summer by the sea: BALLY'S Bally's Bikini Beach Bar: This al fresco spot will again offer live entertainment, food and drink.
You Shore don't need a car at the beach these days
May 16, 2014
BY ROBERT STRAUSS, For the Daily News
BACK IN 1850, Dr. Jonathan Pitney, an open-air enthusiast, saw an opening to turn Absecon Island into a health resort, if only he could get people from those polluted cities of Philadelphia and Camden there. He got a heady civil engineer, Richard Osborne, to build a train line over to the place - which Osborne renamed "Atlantic City" - and by the 1870s, a half-million shoobies were coming there each summer by train. Rail-line conductor Alexander Boardman proposed a newfangled way of getting the people to the beach itself from the station - a "Boardwalk.
Fraternity condemns graffiti on dead whale
May 4, 2014
By Jonathan Lai, Inquirer Staff Writer
The fraternity whose Greek letters were spray-painted onto a dead whale in Atlantic City issued a statement Friday decrying the "reprehensible act. " "While we don't know if any of our members were involved, we have been in contact with the authorities and have offered our assistance in their investigations," reads the statement sent by Jesse Cohen on behalf of Tau Epsilon Phi Fraternity Inc., the national umbrella organization. "This act is in direct contradiction with our mission statement and our teachings of friendship, chivalry, and service, and we wholeheartedly condemn it," it says.
Trunk Show: Jumbo Monopoly on Boardwalk
April 25, 2014
By Jacqueline L. Urgo, Inquirer Staff Writer
ATLANTIC CITY - An elephant lunching on bread playing Monopoly with the mayor? It makes perfect sense in the seaside city that inspired the board game, where officials and business owners are seeking to put some sizzle back into the Shore gambling resort. A four-ton Asian elephant named Duchess, part of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, which opens Thursday at Boardwalk Hall for shows through Sunday, was paraded up Georgia Avenue in Atlantic City from the cavernous auditorium to a parking lot, where a relatively small game-board replica and a crowd of children and adults waited Wednesday afternoon.

"Taking us on a journey from West Africa to San Francisco, Robin Sylvan reminds us that being moved by the music means much more than simply understanding the lyrics. From rock to rap, disco to heavy metal, Sylvan takes the whole music experience seriously, exploring how its very performance--and its subsequent affect on the audience--touches the entirety of what makes us human, in what can only be considered a religious experience of sound, beat, dance, ritual, and world view. . . . Will challenge your presumptions about the significance of music in general, these genres in particular, and the way we understand religion to work in the lives of ordinary people." --, -Eric Michael Mazur,coeditor of God in the Details: American Religion in Popular Culture

I find this practice reprehensible. I have no issue with good players "team hopping" to help out lesser-geared or lesser-skilled players, but those lesser-geared players should PLAY and actually EARN their wins and their rating alongside the better player(s), not BUY it. Even without the exchange of monies, the idea of having 3 players play a quota of games only to have a high-ranked team take over and push on to 2400+ rating is dishonest and cheats skilled, honest, hard-working players out of their deserved rewards. I watched a warlock PvP video recently of a "Gladiator" who almost lost to a fellow warlock in leveling greens/blues. It was purely pitiful and almost certainly a result of this sort of despicable, underhanded cheating. (Note to These People: Don't buy your title and then make a PvP video showing your ignorance.)

This upcoming school year the Bedford County Public School System is going to save 22,000 gallons of gas by adjusting parking locations for school buses.
That's 22,000 gallons, some $80,000 or more worth of savings.
Students at two Bedford County Public Schools may be able to transfer to Big Island Elementary School if testing results come back as expected.
Bedford Primary School and Bedford Elementary School will likely be required to offer public school choice to its students this year for failing to meet Adequate Yearly Progress numbers under the No Child Left Behind Act. Parents of students at those schools will likely soon receive letters informing them of the option to choose to have their children transferred.
A local Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) has been awarded a couple of special honors for his volunteer work.
Leslie "Sandy" Morrissett won the top honor, this spring, among 10 Central Virginia CASAs who received a President's Volunteer Service award. This is a national honor that recognizes volunteer service and Morrissett, a Moneta resident, logged 313 volunteer hours with Bedford's CASA office last year.
Bedford's parks and recreation department wants to honor some local people who help us all.
Called the Hometown Heroes' Benefit Concert, the event will raise money for the Bedford City Police Department and Bedford's volunteer fire department and rescue squad, stated Shawn Duff, the administrative assistant for the city's parks and rec department. It all takes place from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m. at Liberty Lake Park on Saturday, July 26.
The hot, humid days of mid-July don't put most people in a Christmas frame of mind. Bedford Main Street, however, has been thinking about the year-end holiday and a note at the end of its 2008 calendar of events on its Web site, indicates that the time of Bedford's annual Christmas parade has been moved to 7 p.m.
Linda Exley, Bedford Main Street's director, said that there has been a conflict between the parade, which starts at 11 a.m. and a foot race, which starts at 10 a.m.
"The police have to take care of the foot race,"Exley said.
While in the sixth grade, Sarah Vaden performed a science project trying to discover a way to decrease the impact of hurricanes.
She set up a mock hurricane with a sprinkler and fan, dumping salt on the sprinkler to see if the water pressure could be reduced.
She's been involved in research ever since.
The yet-to-be identified person found dead inside a burned car off Ole Turnpike Road early Wednesday morning apparently died from smoke inhalation as the result of a traffic accident, according to a Bedford Police Chief Jim Day.
Day said Wednesday afternoon that apparently the driver of the vehicle left the road and traveled 200 feet into brush. Excessive speed might have been a factor, he said.
He said there wasn't any evidence of foul play involved.
Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, an Israeli generic drug manufacturer, will purchase Barr Pharmaceuticals. The two companies announced the agreement Friday morning.
Teva is the world's largest generic drug manufacturer and Barr is the fourth largest. Barr owns Barr Laboratories, in Forest. With 570 employees, the company is Bedford County's largest non-public employer and, county officials note, is a major contributor to the county's tax base.
A Moneta man faces at least six years in prison for abducting and assaulting a woman last year.
Robert Edward Bignall, 31, of Moneta pleaded guilty Tuesday in Bedford County Circuit Court to abduction and malicious wounding charges. The abduction charge carries a sentence of between one and 10 years and the malicious wounding charge carries five to 20 years.
According to Commonwealth's Attorney Randy Krantz, Bignall had an on-again, off-again relationship with the victim and had been staying in her home for a week prior to the incident that brought him to court.
Charges against a Stuarts Draft man for abducting a 59-year-old Bedford County woman were certified to the grand jury during a hearing in General District Court last Friday.
Daniel Bruce Largin, 62, faces charges of abduction with the intent to defile and breaking and entering with the intent to commit rape from an alleged incident that took place May 20. If convicted, he could face from 20 years to life on each charge.
Largin also faces a felony charge of unauthorized use of a vehicle from a prior alleged incident.

Flat-panel glut lowers prices
By THG Reporting Team - Source: Tom's Hardware | 0 comment
According to analysts, an oversupply of flat-panel monitors caused by significant growth in manufacturing capacity, could result in much lower prices before the end of the year. Flat-panel monitors using liquid crystal display will hit the $600 mark, according to analysts, down from an average $950 only three months ago. The reduction in monitor prices will also be reflected in cheaper notebooks. Conventional CRTs average less than $200 and, despite consumer preference for smaller monitors, account for 94.5 percent of retail monitor sales.

Why Children and Nature?
World-wide most people now live in cities. There is growing awareness that childhoods are enriched with time spent outdoors: learning, playing, exploring. Great news: San Francisco is a treasure trove of nature. Its delightfully diverse human communities are matched by extraordinary biodiversity and wonderful park lands. Even in the most urban parts of town there are habitats to be explored, creatures and plants to get curious about, and even trees and rocks to climb.
Founded in 2011, the mission of the San Francisco Children and Nature Forum is to inspire all sectors of San Francisco society to nurture, empower, and engage youth in relationship with local nature. SFCaN is an interdisciplinary group of professionals working in collaboration to share practices, generate ideas, and take action to promote San Francisco children's right to meaningful experiences outdoors. Knowing that children who learn and play in nature are happier, healthier, smarter, and better prepared for the future. SFCaN aspires to preserve and expand access to nature experiences for all children in San Francisco. Together we're investing in the quality of urban life and ensuring a healthier environment for present and future generations of San Franciscans.

Will The Detroitization Of America Change Anything?
As the Detroitization of America continues with the official bankruptcy of Detroit itself, many conservative economists believe that it might be the best thing that could ever happen to the Motor City. The sad fact is that the greed and avarice of the public sector is insatiable, which is why it never learns anything.
Why Dick Morris Fears Ron Paul
It's been quite humorous watching Dick Morris switch modes, from dismissing Ron Paul as a nut and a crackpot to hysterically warning people how dangerous he is. In one of his recent lunch videos, Morris ranted nonstop about Paul, going so far as to say: "He is the most radical, liberal candidate running."
A Better Idea For National Defense
Many people argue that having the lives of thousands of young adults destroyed — or lost — is the price of preserving our freedom. But in today's corrupt, semi-socialist America, the biggest threat to our freedom comes not from abroad, but from the criminal class in Washington.
Obama And The Failure Of Capitalism
When Obama says that cutting taxes and regulations doesn't work, what in the world is he talking about? Everything works. The question is, for whom does it work, and how well? Collectivism works exceedingly well for politicians but it destroys the lives of millions of people on the dole who might otherwise become productive citizens.
On Running 'The Most Electable Candidate'
Even after three years of thugocratic government, there are still many conservatives and libertarians who cannot bring themselves to believe that Barack Obama is anything more than a "big-spending liberal" who is simply misguided.
The OWS-Black Friday Connection
The shopping mantra for American consumaholics this year is, "We know the future is hopeless, but we're not going to allow the bad economy to ruin our holiday season." If you doubt their determination to let the good times roll, just ask the crazed Black Friday shoppers who were pepper-sprayed at a Los Angeles Wal-Mart.
The Supercommittee Farce
The past couple of months, I've taken to biting my nails again, something I haven't done since I was a teenager. In fact, the media have me on the verge of a nervous breakdown with their coverage of the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction (aka the supercommittee).
The Happy Valley Football Altar
The Penn State scandal is so disturbing that it's hard to even write about. When I first heard Joe Paterno had been fired, I thought perhaps it was an overreaction on the part of Penn State's board of trustees. But as I read about some of the details of the case, I quickly realized I was wrong.
Perpetual Revolution
As the election season revs up, bull-slinging, the favorite sport of the criminal class east of the Potomac, is in full bloom. They know, through experience, that slinging a decorative array of fecal matter against the wall can win over a significant portion of the electorate — particularly those who don't know the difference between the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
The Rise Of The Entrepreneur
Increasingly, it appears that the far left has found a straw dog to replace its long-cherished, but now embarrassingly discredited, global-warming hoax: "unequal distribution of wealth." Of course, class warfare has been around for thousands of years, so it was just a matter of reviving a tired old idea.

TUESDAY, Dec. 28 (HealthDay News) -- Cancer patients who smoke
suffer worse pain than nonsmokers, researchers have found.
The new study included 224 patients with a range of cancer
diagnoses who were asked to provide information about pain
severity, pain-related distress and pain-related interference.
Patients who were current smokers reported more severe pain than
those who never smoked and also reported more interference from
pain than never smokers or former smokers. Among former smokers,
the longer it had been since they quit, the less pain they had,
according to lead investigator Joseph W. Ditre, of the psychology
department at Texas A&M University, and colleagues.
The results of the study are published in the January 2011 issue
of the journal
"Clinicians must do more to assist cancer patients to quit smoking after their diagnosis," Dr. Lori Bastian, of the department of internal medicine at Duke University, Durham, N.C., and the Durham VA Medical Center, wrote in a commentary accompanying the report.
"Although more research is needed to understand the mechanisms that relate nicotine to pain, physicians should aggressively promote smoking cessation among cancer patients," she noted in a journal news release. "Preliminary findings suggest that smoking cessation will improve the overall treatment response and quality of life."

We've smelled this cheese before. A throwback to the big bug movies of the 1950s, Arachnid does for spiders what Them! did for ants in 1954. And it's not much. Arachnid has such B-movie horror conventions as mechanical spiders (puppets) that can only move forward and back -- the big critters always have to back away into their lairs, which is pretty funny in these days of computer generated miracles -- and it's peopled so routinely by central casting formula-characters that you can practically predict the order the secondary characters are going to be devoured. The plot is Alien meets Anaconda, and we only mention Alien because the heroic protagonist is a woman (and Alex Reid does a fine job in the thankless role, but Sigourney Weaver she's not). But you know what? There's a certain brainless charm to it all that will amuse those looking for nothing more than a few cool maulings and no amount of intellectual challenge.
