POINT PLEASANT — The battle
of Point Pleasant did not dis-
appoint Friday night. From
the standing-room-only Me-
morial Middle School gym-
nasium to the victory in
comeback fashion, fans wit-
nessed a rivalry match at its
finest.
After falling behind by 26
team points after seven
bouts, Point Boro came from
behind to beat Point Beach
34-32.
The match began with the
132-pound weight class where
Boro’s Jack Ehrhardt defeated
opponent Roddy Rupp by de-
cision, giving the first points
of the match to the Panthers.
Point Beach, having lost
last year’s battle 31-19 at
home, came to win as the
Gulls claimed victory in the
next six bouts of the match.
In the 138-pound weight
class, Garnet Gull John
Finnerty won by technical
fall over Boro’s Cory Defeo.
Giancarlo Crivelli of Point
Beach won the 145-pound
bout by major decision over
Courtland Hackel, while
Zack Schaller of Point Beach
defeated Panther Pete Gen-
carelli 3-1 in the 152-pound
bout securing a 12-3 lead for
the Gulls.
With each bout more in-
tense than the last, the crowd
was definitely looking for the
first pin of the match.
Answering the call was
Cory Gross of Point Beach,
pinning Brandon Defeo in the
first period of the 160-pound
weight class.
In the following bout, 170-
pound Gull Jack Baker wast-
ed no time pinning Panther
Gene Franceschini, further
increasing the Point Beach
lead.
In the 182-pound weight
class, senior Jake Fioretti put

THE OCEAN STAR
POINT PLEASANT BEACH — The
Garnet Gulls made quick
work of the Keansburg Titans
last Thursday, winning by a
score of 53-17 at home.
Freshman Trevor Covey
scored a game-high 15 points.
Adding to the Gulls’ total
with 11 points was Mike Rice,
along with teammate
Stephen Flanders scoring
nine.
The Garnet Gulls then
hosted St. Rose at home on
Saturday where they lost to
the Purple Roses 68-57.
The loss breaks Point
Beach’s commanding 39-
game win streak within the B
Central Division, which start-
ed back in the 2011-2012 sea-
son.
Last time the two teams
played each other, the Gulls
rallied to beat St. Rose 53-44.
St. Rose was not going to let
that happen again.
With Point Beach up 39-38
after three quarters of play,
the game came down to exe-
cuting at the free-throw line.
St. Rose hit a total of 28 of 35
shots from the charity stripe,
with senior Nolan Slattery
going 18-for-18.
Through execution and
solid ball management, the
Purple Roses went on to win
68-57.
For Point Beach, forward
Jesse Hill scored a game-high
37 points with 24 of those
points coming in the second
half alone. Rice added 14
points to the total.
On Sunday, the Garnet
Gulls faced defending tour-
nament champions St.
Joseph-Metuchen at the
Primetime Shootout Sunday
held at Roselle Catholic.
It was a rough game for
Point Beach as they found
themselves down 30-12 at the
half. With both teams only
scoring four points in the
third quarter, the last quarter
was a wild one.
Down 38-16 in the fourth,
Point Beach’s Hill ignited a
rally with a string of 3-point-
ers.
The Gulls were able to
come within six points with
two minutes left in the game
before the Falcons closed out
the win 45-36.
Hill finished the game with
19 points and Rice chipped in
14.
On the other side of the
ball, Falcon Breein Tyree fin-
ished with 14 points, includ-
ing a dunk where he hit his
head on the backboard.
Point Beach then traveled
to play the Asbury Park Blue
Bishops on Tuesday, where
they easily claimed a 67-38
victory.
Four Garnet Gulls finished
the game with double-digit
scoring, Mike Frauenheim
leading the way with 18. Hill
added 14 and Rice dropped 11,
while freshman Danny
Frauenheim pitched in 15.

THE OCEAN STAR
POINT PLEASANT — Point
Boro fell at home 50-39
against the Barnegat Bengals
last Thursday.
The Panthers started off
strong, finishing the first
quarter with a one-point lead.
Unfortunately, they couldn’t
find the net in the second
quarter, with only one bucket
coming from Point Boro’s
John Duda. At the half,
Barnegat led 24-15.
The third quarter brought
no promise for either team,
as the Bengals added seven to
their total and the Panthers
added five.
Both teams found their
stroke in the final quarter,
though, each putting up 19
points — but it was not
enough for the Panthers to
get the win.
John Venturi of Point Boro
was the only player to hit
double digits on his team
with 11.
In a B South matchup,
Point Boro traveled to take
on the Griffins of Donovan
Catholic. The Panthers lost
by a score of 67-48.
It was a hard-fought battle
for Point Boro who, after
three quarters of play, was
down 40-37.
The team was unable to
keep it close in the fourth
quarter as the Griffins put up
27 points and the Panthers
only added 11.
The Panthers then hosted
the Lakewood Piners at
home, who are unbeaten in
their division.
Point Boro lost by a score
of 63-53, but the game was
closer than the final score de-
picts.
At the end of the first half,
the Panthers found them-
selves down 24-19 and gain-
ing some momentum.
They came out strong in
the third quarter but could
not slow up the scoring ways
of Piner Amir Tyler, who
ended up finishing the game
with 17 total points. At the
start of the fourth, the Pan-
thers were down 9 but still
fighting strong.
Venturi had the hot hand,
hitting two, 3-pointers from
his sweet spot in the corner
and a smooth jumper from
the field. This brought Point
Boro within two points with
five minutes left on the clock.
But when it came down to
it, the Lakewood Piners never
stopped making their shots as
they ran away with the win
63-53.
Venturi led the Panthers
with 18 points and teammate
Mike Larson poured in 15.
It has been a tough stretch
of games for the Panthers as
they hold an overall record of
4-13 but Panther coach Kevin
Hynes recognizes the effort
of his team.
“Credit to the kids, the way
they come in and continue to
compete night in and night
out,” said Hynes. “We haven’t
won a ton and it’s always a lit-
tle hard to keep the kids mo-
tivated. I think they showed a
lot about who they are by
how they came out tonight
and made them [Lakewood]
earn a win.”
Point Boro will travel to
take on Pinelands Regional
high school tonight with the
game scheduled to start at
6:30 p.m.

Gulls win third game of season
BY DOMINICK POLLIO
THE OCEAN STAR
KEANSBURG — It’s safe to say
the Garnet Gulls have had a
tough season on their hands,
but they show perseverance
and strong character as they
continue to try their best.
Point Beach lost another
game Thursday as the girls
basketball team traveled to
take on Keansburg, where the
Gulls lost 40-21.
By halftime, the Gulls were
trailing 19-9. They played a
strong third quarter but were
unable to overcome the Titan
lead, losing by 19 at the final
buzzer.
Leading the way for the
Gulls were Sam Trabbatoni
and Shannon Lane, who fin-
ished with seven points
apiece. Trabbatoni also
recorded a block and Lane
pulled down five rebounds
and a steal.
Point Beach then went on
to play another game on the
road where they suffered a
devastating loss at the hands
of St. Rose 80-15.
St. Rose had two players
score more than 20 points
and a total of 11 players put
points on the board during
the game.
Erinne Regan led the Gulls
with nine points and an as-
sist.
Point Beach then hosted
Asbury Park at home, losing a
close game 41-39.
It seemed the usual routine
for the Gulls as Asbury Park
led through three quarters,
establishing a 35-23 lead.
Point Beach then mounted
an almost game-winning
comeback, dropping 16
points in the fourth quarter
while keeping the Blue Bish-
ops to six points. Asbury Park

Point Beach senior Jake
Fioretti comes from a line-
age of wrestling.
“It’s a pretty big thing in
my family, wrestling,” said
Fioretti. “I’ve been doing it
since second grade.”
But wrestling is not the
only sport that runs in the
family.
Following in the footsteps
of his grandfather, Fioretti
competes in football,
wrestling and baseball.
His grandfather, a run-
ning back on the football
field, has been Fioretti’s role
model ever since he can re-
member.
Competing in multiple
sports throughout the year
may seem daunting to
some, but for Fioretti, it’s a
way to stay in shape and al-
ways improve upon his ath-
leticism.
This past week, Fioretti
won all of his individual
bouts on the mat. Against
Monmouth and Pennsville,
he won by technical fall.
Against Freehold Boro and
Manasquan, he claimed vic-
tories by pin.
And in the battle of Point
Pleasant, Fioretti’s match
was one for the crowd, as he
picked up his Point Boro
opponent and slammed him
down multiple times in an
effort to snag a pin. He
eventually won by technical
fall 25-10.
Jeff Bower, head
wrestling coach for Point
Beach, is proud of Fioretti
and looks to him as a leader
for the younger players.
“He’s an awesome kid.
He’s great to be around,
great with the kids and the
coaches,” said Bower. “You
couldn’t ask anything more
from a senior.”
Bower has coached
Fioretti in football and
wrestling since freshman
year, eight seasons in total.
He recognizes his hard
work not only on the athlet-
ic side, but in the classroom,
as well.
“He’s a complete leader
on the team,” explained
Bower. “He does the right
things, not only in here, but
in the classroom, as well.”
Fioretti is hoping to con-
tinue playing football as he
continues on to college af-
ter high school.
Outside of sports, he
wants to pursue a degree in
sports management in an
effort to work for the front
office of a professional
sports team.

ulation, or local ordinance; or any
other illegal, improper, or fraudu-
lent activity.

sion of license to the offending
dealer and to the Municipal Clerk,

for the suspension and notify the
dealer of his or her right to appeal,

appropriate by the three-person
panel appointed by the Chief of
Police, upon the timely filing of an
appeal as provided in subsection
(H).

penalty shall be in addition to any
fines and penalties the dealer may

paper forms are used, the dealer is
responsible to enter all transaction
information set forth in subsection
(C) above into the database as
soon as possible upon the dealer’s
equipment being repaired or
replaced, or the database coming
back into service. Failure by the
dealer to properly maintain com-
puter equipment in a reasonable
fashion, or failure by the dealer to
replace faulty computer equip-
ment, may result in the dealer
being cited for a violation of this
chapter and subsequently being
subject to the penalties for doing
so including revocation of the
dealer’s license as described in § 6.
F) It shall be the requisite duty
of every dealer, and of every per-
son in the dealer’s employ, to
admit to the premises during busi-
ness hours any member of the
police department to examine any
database, book, ledger, or any
other record on the premises relat-
ing to the reportable transactions
of precious metals or other sec-
ondhand goods, as well as the arti-
cles purchased or received and,
where necessary, relinquish cus-
tody of those articles as provided
in § 6. Itinerant businesses and
transient buyers will be responsi-
ble for notifying the Chief of
Police of the address where
records and articles will be stored.

those goods, a law enforcement
officer with jurisdiction should
charge the seller with theft by
deception under N.J.S.A.2C:20-4
on behalf of the dealer, who shall
be considered the “victim” of the
offense for the purposes of
N.J.S.A.2C:43-3. The officer shall
seize the goods, provide the dealer
with a receipt, and issue a criminal
or any of its principal officers or
employees in this or any other
jurisdiction. A license may be
denied if the applicant fails to
demonstrate an ability to satisfac-
torily comply with the electronic
reporting requirements specified

seq.; and
j. the time and date of the
licensing. The investigation shall
include, but shall not be limited to
the following:
1) The experience of the appli-
cant in the business of purchase
and sale of those articles or goods
referred to in section 2 above,
although nothing in this section
shall be construed to warrant
denial of a license solely on the
basis of lack of experience;
2) The reputation of the appli-
cant for fair dealing in the commu-
nity, which shall be made among
credible sources, which sources
shall be disclosed to the applicant
in the event of a denial of any
license;
3) Any criminal record of the
applicant including any past con-
victions for any crime(s), disorder-
ly persons offense(s), or municipal
ordinance violation(s) within this
or any other jurisdiction. The

applicant, particularly whether the
business is to be operated from a
fixed location, whether it is to be
conducted from a location primari-
ly devoted to the purchase and sale
of precious metal or other second-
hand goods, and other factors
bearing on whether the licensed
business will be of a fixed and per-
manent nature. This section shall
not be construed to require denial
of any license solely on the
grounds that the business is not
from a fixed location or that the
applicant is a transient buyer or
itinerant business, however appli-
cants who fall under the category
of a transient buyer or itinerant
business must state with specifici-
ty on the license application the

goods will be retained during the
mandatory inspection period
required under § 6(A).
B) The Chief of Police shall
complete any investigation pur-
suant to this chapter within thirty
(30) days of the submission of the
application to the Municipal
Clerk, fully completed by the
applicant. If a criminal record
check has been requested within
the thirty-day period and has not
been received by the Chief of
Police within that period, the Chief
of Police may, if all other factors
are satisfactory, recommend a con-
ditional issuance of the license
subject to the finding regarding
criminal record.
C) The Chief of Police shall,
upon completion of the investiga-
tion, recommend “grant” or
“denial” of the license to the
Municipal Clerk, who shall grant
or deny the license. Any recom-
mendation of the Chief of Police
shall be in writing and, in the case
of a recommendation of denial,
shall state fully and specifically
the reasons for said recommenda-
tion. If the Municipal Clerk
accepts the recommendation of the
Chief of Police to deny any
license, the applicant shall be noti-
fied in writing within ten (10) days
of such denial and the Clerk shall
forward to the applicant a state-
ment of the reason or reasons for
such denial.
D) Grounds for recommending
denial of license may include reli-
able information indicating that
the applicant has in the past
engaged in fraudulent or deceptive
business practices in a business
identical to or similar to a dealer in
secondhand goods. A license may
be denied if the investigation
reveals a conviction of the appli-
cant or any of its principal officers
or employees of any crime(s),dis-
orderly persons offense(s) in
which deceit or misrepresentation
is an element; or any conviction of
any crime(s), disorderly persons
offense involving theft or the
receiving of stolen goods, regard-

an assist from Nelson.
Five minutes later, with a
Panther serving a penalty in
the box, Rumson-Fair Haven
scored their second goal of
the game and finished the
first period up 2-1.
The second period was a
quieter one for both teams
until Patterson found the net
with some help from Herring-
ton and Nelson to even out
the score at two heading into
the final period.
Garavante struck again in
the third period, giving the
Bulldogs a one-goal lead with
10 minutes left in the game.

on a show for the Point Beach
crowd with monster take-
downs, picking his opponent
Ryan Sansone off of his feet
and slamming him to the mat.
“He was amped up,” said
Point Beach coach Jeff Bower
about Fioretti. “He was fired
up and he came out and wres-
tled tough.”
Fioretti defeated Sansone by
technical fall, giving Point
Beach a commanding 29-3 lead
and setting the scene for a
Panther comeback of dramatic
proportions.
In the bout that turned the
tide for Point Boro, freshman
Gabriel Fattizzi sparked a fire
that Point Beach couldn’t put
out.
“Fattizzi was the one. That
was the match that sparked us
right away,” stated teammate
Dan Nobbs.
Facing Vincent Storino of
Point Beach, Fattizzi found
himself trailing 2-0 after the
first period. He stood strong in
the second period and when
Storino made a move for his
leg, Fattizzi kept leverage on
top and forced Storino’s back
to the mat, claiming victory by
pin. With the roar of the Pan-
ther Pit in the background Fat-
tizzi looked at the Point Beach
student section, affectionately
known as the Gulls’ Nest, and
put a finger to his lips, symbol-
ically silencing the crowd.
“A lot of people doubted
me,” Fattizzi said after the
match. “I was just going out
there to win, nothing else.”
It was Fattizzi’s first varsity
win [non-forfeit] and to do it
by pin was a grand statement
for the freshman.
In the following 220-pound
bout, Point Beach tried to re-
gain the momentum. Forrest
Gardner of Point Beach won
by decision over Josh Vitale,
but it was not enough to swing
momentum back in the Gulls’
favor.
In the heavyweight bout,
Panther Dominic Infante
made easy work of his oppo-
nent, pinning him 9 seconds
into the first period.
Ben Sabo of Point Boro then
beat Will Jarvis by major deci-
sion in the 106-pound weight
class, closing the Boro deficit
32-19.
During the 113-pound weight
class, Point Boro’s Blake Dale
pinned his opponent with 18.6
seconds left in the first period,
bringing the Panthers within
seven with only two bouts left
to go.
In a hard fought bout be-
tween Beach’s Jared Hoeler
and Boro’s Dylan Davies, 120-
pounder Davies won by deci-
sion, awarding his team three
more points.
With the score 32-28 in favor
of Point Beach, it all came
down to the 126-pound weight
class. For a win, Boro needed a
pin or technical fall, as a major
decision would tie it and a win
by decision would leave them
one point shy of 32. Point
Beach just had to win or avoid
a loss by pin or technical fall to
keep their undefeated season
alive.
With both crowds cheering
loudly for their teams, the bout
between senior Panther
Nobbs and Garnet Gull Jacob
Clement began. Forty-six sec-
onds later, it was all over as
Nobbs claimed victory for the
Boro with a pin, leaving the fi-
nal score 34-32 and the stands
rocking as Point Boro celebrat-
ed the thrilling win on senior
night.
“That’s a heck of a way to go
out on senior night with his
family and friends here,” Point
Boro coach Pat Brady said af-
ter the match. “We count on
Nobbs from the day he
stepped in the Point Boro
wrestling room. He’s the hard-
est working kid out there and
he earns everything that he
gets.”
It was a tough loss for the
Gulls as they entered the
match undefeated.
“I’m real happy with how
our seniors wrestled tonight.
They did a great job,” said
coach Bower. “I’m real happy
with the little guys, too.”
It was no easy task for the
Boro, and coach Brady appre-
ciates the challenge and the
competition the Beach always
brings, saying, “Coach Bower
does a great job getting his
guys ready to wrestle the Boro
every year. We knew they
were coming in here undefeat-
ed and that they have a great
team. We had to fight through
some adversity tonight.”
FANS FUEL RIVALRY
Point Beach and Point Boro
don’t compete against each
other in every sport, making
the wrestling match a great
spectacle for the students,
families and community.
The event brings in a huge
crowd from both schools and
the students enjoy going all
out in support of their team.
This year, the Gull’s Nest for
Point Beach came dressed for
a day in the sand as they went
with a “Beach Out” theme.
The Panther Pit went with a
“Black Out” theme, dressing in
black and sporting glow sticks.
When the Point Beach
wrestlers entered the gym to
the song “Thunderstruck” by
AC/DC, the Panther Pit pre-
tended to read newspapers.
When the Panther wrestlers
entered the gym, the Gull’s
Nest casually turned around,
facing the wall for the duration
of the song “Crazy Train” by
Ozzy Osbourne.
All gestures were made in
good fun, as both crowds
made sure to support their
teams and chant individual
names and songs to keep
everyone pumped up.
“It’s a great rivalry,” said
coach Bower. “It’s a great at-
mosphere every time we wres-
tle.”
Justin Barowski was an All-
American wrestler for Point
Beach back in high school and
now he is an assistant coach
for the Point Boro wrestling
squad. He enjoys the rivalry
and looks at it as an opportuni-
ty to help foster the athletes’
talents.
“It was a little weird coming
in here,” Barowski said, in re-
gard to facing his old team.
“But I put in a lot of time with
our team and to see all their
hard work pay off tonight in
such a dramatic victory, it
means everything to me. It
was a great victory and I’m so
proud of our kids.”
The Boro keeps the brag-
ging rights for the year as both
teams look ahead to the state
tournament.
With a freshman sparking a
comeback with his first varsity
win by pin and a senior win-
ning the match for his team on
senior night, this year’s battle
of Point Pleasant is one to be
remembered by coaches, fans
and wrestlers, and only further
fuels the epic rivalry between
the Beach and the Boro.
WHAT ABOUT THE
REST OF THE WEEK?
The Panthers went on to
face Rahway in the first round
of State Sectionals on Tuesday,
where they lost a close one 30-
25. Seniors Gencarelli, Vitale
and Nobbs all performed well
in the match. Nobbs won in
overtime, Gencarelli won in
double overtime, and Vitale
had a buzzer-beating win by
decision.
The Garnet Gulls traveled
to a quad match with Mon-
mouth, Freehold Boro, Man-
asquan and Pennsville held at
Freehold Boro on Saturday.
Point Beach went back to its
winning ways beating Mon-
mouth 42-16, Freehold Boro
42-24, Manasquan 62-12, and
Pennsville 47-21.
The Gulls also competed in
their first round of State Sec-
tionals at home Wednesday
against Bordentown, winning
42-25. They move on to the
sectional semifinals against
Cinnaminson on the road. The
match is set to begin tonight at
7 p.m.

Offshore wreck fishing is
one of the few games in town
right now as party boats are
getting cod, ling, bergalls
and a few blackfish. Each day
the catch is different depend-
ing on the conditions, so try
to at least pick a good winter
weather day first when the
wind is down making the
seas calm and the air temper-
atures are not frigid. On the
freshwater scene winter
trout fishing is also produc-
ing catches of mostly rain-
bow trout. One can find trout
in the upper section of the
Manasquan River from
Hospital Road up to West
Farms. Ice fishing is produc-
ing perch and pickerel but
you will have to travel to
northern New Jersey lakes to
find ice that is safe. Currently
there is no safe ice in our
area but that could change
with this present artic freeze.

Environmental Protection

measuring about eight feet in
width, has been constructed
starting from Parking Area 7,
providing fishing access for
persons with disabilities and
other anglers on foot who
prefer more mobility in
transporting their fishing
equipment from the parking
area to the ocean. “The
restoration of Fisherman’s
Walkway will help make non-
motor vehicle fishing access
much easier for all of our vis-
itors,” Commissioner Martin
said. “We have seen incredi-
ble progress at Island Beach
State Park since Superstorm
Sandy and the completion of
this boardwalk is an impor-
tant milestone in the park’s
recovery.”
Fisherman’s Walkway has
been a popular destination
for people with disabilities,
anglers and other pedestri-
ans since it was first con-
structed in 1995 with funds
through the Americans With
Disabilities Act. Its location
within the park is south of
lifeguarded swimming areas
and north of mobile sport
fishing access roads.
“Fishermen’s Walkway is one
of the most popular assets
within the park,” said Island
Beach State Park manager
Ray Bukowski. “Obviously, it
is utilized heavily by fisher-
men and it affords a tremen-
dous access point for all park
visitors. It is also enjoyed,
especially this time of year,
by birders and other visi-
tors.”
The Manasquan Fishing
Club has announced the next
coffee get together will be
held Tuesday, February 17th
at 10 a.m. at Mike’s Deli,
Route 34 and Paynters Road
in Wall. It’s a nice informal
meeting to talk with other
members about fishing or
whatever else is on your
mind. Keep an eye on the
weather as it usually will be
cancelled if there are slip-
pery conditions.
Captain Howard Bogan of
the Big Jamaica out of Brielle

Captain Joe of the Jamaica
II out of Brielle reports
“Pretty dull weekend fishing
for the most part, beautiful
weather but sluggish action.
Picked at mostly cod with a
few ling and blackfish mixed
in. Big bergalls real active
especially Saturday, you
could’ve got a bucket full and
some doggie action still
around both days. Some ling
scattered around the boat but
not enough. Tom Shectz of
West Chester, Pa took
Sunday’s pool with a 30-.5
pound cod, Rob Vellare of
Barnegat caught seven cod
but only three keepers.
Winter schedule is 12 hour
wreck trips: 5 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Wednesdays, Saturdays, and
Sunday. Whiting every
Friday at 6 a.m.”

FISHING TIPS BY JIM FREDA
Try some offshore wreck fishing
TIP OF THE WEEK
FROM JIM FREDA
If bait is not producing win-
ter trout try casting a small
Mepps or Rooster Tail silver
or gold spinner. Cast the
spinner across the stream
and retrieve back slowly
just enough to keep the
blades spinning.
