The inaugural Sean Stephenson Memorial Lifeguard Tournament was held in Point Pleasant Beach. The annual lifeguard tournament hosted by Jenkinson's Beach was renamed in honor of Sean Stephenson, a former lifeguard who recently passed away. The tournament featured teams of lifeguards from Jenkinson's and neighboring AquaServe competing in swimming, kayaking, board and beach events. Proceeds from the event were donated to a wrestling scholarship in Stephenson's name. Team A, which Stephenson would have been on, won the competition. The tournament honored Stephenson's memory and celebrated his work as a lifeguard.

POINT BEACH — A crowd of spectators trudged
through the sand Wednesday night to take in
the 8th Annual Jenkinson’s Beach Lifeguard
Tournament. But the tournament they saw was
a bit different from the seven before it.
The tournament, which had been postponed
for a week after the Aug. 4 death of former
Jenk’s lifeguard Sean Stephenson, was also re-
named in his honor.
“From this point forth we’re going to name
it the Sean Stephenson Memorial Lifeguard
Tournament sponsored by Jenkinson’s as long
as it goes on,” said Brian Grainer, a Jenk’s life-
guard and friend of Stephenson. “Sean was a
brother. We loved him very much.”
In addition to renaming the tournament in
honor of Stephenson, a Brick Memorial High
School graduate, organizers solicited dona-
tions for a wrestling scholarship in his name.
Stephenson had been an avid wrestler with the
Brick Memorial Mustangs, from 2009 through
early in the 2011-12 season.
As a freshman, he was 14-16 at 103 pounds as
Brick Memorial won the NJSIAA Group IV
and Central Jersey Group IV championships.
As a sophomore he was 22-10 and took third at
103 pounds in District 23 and then fourth in Re-
gion VI. As a junior, he won the District 23 ti-
tle at 112 pounds en route to a 25-6 season
record. As a senior he took second at 120
pounds in District 23 and finished with a
record of 24-10 as the Mustangs won the Shore
Conference Tournament and NJSIAA Central
Jersey Group IV titles and were the runner-up
in Group IV. Brick Memorial also won a state
championship in 2009.
As a lifeguard for Jenk’s, Stephenson record-
ed 39 open water rescues in his three-and-a-
half summers working there.
“[It] shows you the type of guy he was. He
was fearless and was a hero to me and I miss
him dearly,” stated Grainer.
In past Jenkinson’s tournaments, the teams
consisted of only Jenk’s lifeguards separated
into teams but this year also featured the life-
guards of AquaServe- Jenk’s neighbors.
Grainer was happy to have them be a part of
the competition, saying, “They competed
tremendously. They have a bunch of great
guards and we appreciate that we get to guard
Point Pleasant with them.”
There were four teams total, three of which
consisted of Jenkinson’s lifeguards. There was
Team A, Team B, Team C and AquaServe.
In a fitting fashion, Team A, the team
Stephenson would have been a member of,
took the tournament by a landslide with 21
points.
“He was slated to compete for the A team
that ran away with this tournament,” Grainer
said. “They would have been even better with
him.”
AquaServe came in second with 10 points,
Team C in third with 9 points and Team B in
last with 2 points.
The squads competed in five events total:
the swim relay, the kayak relay, the board pad-
dle relay, the beach flags and tug of war.

With an objective to intro-
duce the game of lacrosse
and its skills to the future
players of Point Boro High
School, Boro head coach Guy
Lassen is running a boys
lacrosse camp.
The camp is for both expe-
rienced and non-experienced
players. It will teach the rules
of the game and fundamen-
tals necessary to play this fast
and dynamic sport. Instruc-
tion will include basic ball
skills such as passing, throw-
ing, scooping ground balls,
along with the basic strate-
gies of the game.
Scrimmages will also take
place as each player acquires
the skills needed to compete.
The next lacrosse camp
dates are August 24-27 8 a.m.-
noon.
Contact Point Boro head
coach Lassen at guy-

istration forms and more in-

Boys lacrosse
camp set
for August
Point Boro secured wins
in the opening rounds of the
Shore Conference Tourna-
ment and the state tourna-
ment.
Herrington was named
The Ocean Star’s offensive
ice hockey athlete of the sea-
son and Kimak was named
defensive ice hockey athlete
of the season.
Herrington, the senior
captain of the team, led
Point Boro in goals with 24
and in assists with 20. In his
career for the Panthers, Her-
ington has netted 68 goals
and dished out 79 assists.
Kimak contributed two
goals this past season in ad-
dition to 17 assists, some-
thing that is seldom seen
from a defenseman. He lim-
ited fast break opportunities
for opponents and was not
afraid to get in the mix in
front of the net, which made
him a solid all-around de-
fenseman.
DePalma was named The
Ocean Star’s coach of the
year and has been coaching
ice hockey for 30 years. He
strives to instill commit-
ment, hard work and disci-
pline into his players and has
been successful with the
Point Boro squad.
Tickets for the game are 10
dollars and will be sold at
the door on the day of the
event. It will also feature a
free autograph session by
former NHL players like
Grant Marshall of the New
Jersey Devils and Nicholas
Fortiu of the New York
Rangers.
The game is also a
fundraiser and will help
raise money and awareness
for the JBJ Soul Kitchen,
which is a community-based
nonprofit program operated
by the Jon Bon Jovi Soul
Foundation.
The JBJ Soul Kitchen,
which has dining locations
in Red Bank and Toms River,
was created by Jon Bon Jovi
and is based on the idea that
no one should be without a
meal regardless of their fi-
nancial situation. The JBJ
Soul Kitchen’s menu has no
prices, only asking cus-
tomers to pay a minimum
donation or volunteer their
time in exchange for a meal.
The event is slated to be-
gin at 4 p.m.

Team A jumped out to a
commanding lead after taking
first place in the swim relay,
kayak relay and board paddle.
AquaServe was hot on their
heels though, as they came in
second for each of those three
events.
The tournament took place
during high tide and the diffi-
culty was evident as competi-
tors were flipped head over
heels by waves as they rode in
on the kayak or paddleboard.
The competition was tough
but everyone was having fun
and the spectators enjoyed
cheering on their friends.
The tournament then
moved to land events, with
the first event being the beach
flags.
In this event, two competi-
tors from each team had to
sprint and grab a stick in the
sand. Sounds easy, but of
course, there is a bit more to
the race than that. Competi-
tors had to begin in the prone
position [lying down on their
stomachs] while facing away
from the sticks. Competitors
also did not get to see where
in the sand the sticks were
placed. In addition, there was
always one less stick available
than racers, making for in-
tense diving finishes to grab a
stick.
The beach flag race contin-
ued until there was only one
man standing. In the end
Team C claimed their only
first place finish of the tourna-
ment.
The final event showed off
just how strong lifeguards can
be as well as how hard it is to
pull a rope in opposite direc-
tions. With Team A way out in
front of the competition, the
tug of war determined second
and third place finishers.
AquaServe and Team B lost
their wars with Team C and
Team A, respectively and then
battled it out for third.
AquaServe got the better of
Team B to claim third and add
one point to their total, which
ended up being the deciding
point for second place.
The first place war between
Team A and Team C made the
difference between who
would take third and who
would take second overall in
the tournament. If Team C
came out on top, five points
would have put them ahead of
Aquaserve.
Unfortunately for Team C,
Team A never let up and dom-
inated with the rope for an-
other first place finish. Team
C fell one point shy of tying
for second.
The event came together
with a lot of help from Jenkin-
son’s Beach and Boardwalk.
Grainer appreciated their help
and cooperation in getting the
event ready and executed.
Members of Brick 3, Bay
Head, Mantoloking and the
Coast Guard in Manasquan
served as judges during the
competition and helped keep
everything moving.
Most importantly, the spec-
tators that came out for the
tournament were there in full
support of Stephenson and a
preliminary count of dona-
tions given during the event
tallied around 900 dollars.
“Tons of parents, friends
and family of the Stephenson’s
and our families came out
here. It really was a special
thing,” said Grainer after the
tournament.
In attendance was Stephen-
son’s father who could not be
reached for comment but at
the conclusion of the tourna-
ment he bought all of-age life-
guards a round of drinks in
gratitude for their unrelenting
support.
At the conclusion of the
event there was one clear win-
ner but the lifeguards were
not competing for first or to
prove who is better than the
other. They were there com-
peting in honor and in memo-
ry of their fellow lifeguard and
brother.
All four teams huddled to-
gether and took a moment of
silence to remember Stephen-
son before breaking the hud-
dle with one resounding,
“Sean.”

Fluke fishing was tough in
the past week with the big
northeast blow and ground
swell but now the action
should pick back up as the
seas settle with the north-
west wind. Now that snap-
pers are present in the back-
bays, rivers and around the
marinas you can catch and
use these to try to hook into
those doormats that usually
come at this time of year.
Also using large strip baits
eight inches or longer will
keep the shorts and smaller
fluke away. Make sure you
are using a heavy enough jig
or weight to maintain contact
with the bottom. This will
depend on how deep the
water is and how much bot-
tom current is present.
The winners of the
Saltwater Anglers of Bergen
County Fluke Tournament
held this past weekend were
as follows for combined
weight of three keepers: First
place Gary Pynckels 20.2
pounds; second place, Jason
Zebrowski 19.0 pounds; thir-
drd place David Lilly 17.4
pounds. The awards will be
given out August 18th at 8
p.m. at the American Legion
Post, West Passaic St.,
Rochelle Park.
The winner of the JCAA
21st Annual Fluke
Tournament was Dan
Nykyforuk of Manchester
with a 10.72 pound fluke, fish-
ing out of the Sandy Hook
port. Out of the Manasquan
River port- first place Robert
Murdza from Wall 6.29
pound; second place, Mario
Riccio from Brick 6.19
pounds; third place John
Catalano from Manahawkin
6.12 pounds. Out of the Shark
River Port- first place, Craig
Kutiak from Jersey City 7.45
pounds; second place John
Henry from Robbinsville 6.52
pounds; third place Steve
Kwack 5.71 pounds.
Blue fishing is still just
about non-existent as party
boats can’t find the big blues.
There are some smaller blues
in the traditional areas but
not the type of blue fishing
we would expect to see for
this time of year. Party boats
are catching mackerel as an
alternative.
On the midshore grounds
it’s going to be anyone’s
guess where the bluefin tuna
will be now that the wind has
stopped blowing and it is
fishable again. Since boats
haven’t been out for almost a
week, there is no information
as to where the catch has
been so knowing where to
start is going to take some
figuring out. It will be best to
look at a satellite shot of
water turbidity to see where
the clean bluer water is. The
satellite turbidity shot that I
look at is: www.offshoresatel-
liteservices.com.
On Monday when I wrote
this column the sat shot
showed dirty water all the
way out to the Chicken
Canyon but there was an
eight mile wide finger of
mixed green and blue water
around the Resor. This finger
extended to the north for
about 20 miles up to the HA
buoy. Trying in here first
could be an option if you
don’t want to make the long
run out to the Bacardi. Past
the Chicken Canyon the
water looked nice.
The Manasquan River
Marlin and Tuna Club will be
holding the 35th Annual
Offshore Open August 29th
through September 5th. The
captain’s meeting will be
held at the host marina
Crystal Point on Friday
August 28 at 6:30 p.m. Weigh-
ins are nightly at Brielle
Yacht Club in Brielle.
The tournament provides
anglers with the opportunity
to fish two separate days or
one overnighter during the
course of the week. Once
again, the Ray Catena Auto
Group is the presenting
sponsor and has offered the
Ray Catena Audi Challenge-a
$4,000 cash award to the
largest yellowfin. This is in
addition to the Comstock
challenge, awarding $4,000
to the largest longfin. These
awards are included in the
base entry. The tournament
offers Calcuttas for every eli-
gible specie with this year’s
estimated payout to exceed
$175,000. Last year’s tourna-
ment paid over $165,000 to
the winners and raised funds
for numerous fishing and
conservation related chari-
ties, including the RFA, RFA-
NJ, the Catch a Dream
Foundation, Menhaden
Defenders, Re-Clam the Bay,
N.J. Beach Buggy Association
and the George Burlew
Scholarship Fund, providing
scholarships to marine biolo-
gy graduate students. The
base entry fee is still $500
which provides tickets to the
captain’s meeting, awards
dinner and the entry for the
tuna category. The all-in
Calcutta fee is $3,200. Go to

Bob over at Fishermen’s
Den in Belmar reports “The
wind this weekend hurt the
action on our party boats.
Some nice fish came in from
the river. Tiffiny Gaidus of
Union Beach had a 4.10
pound fluke. Snapper fish-
ing has gone into high gear
as they are gaining some
size. Some stripers are being
caught in the surf mostly
short fish.”
Captain Howard Bogan of
the Big Jamaica out of
Brielle reports “Fishing for
bluefish and mackerel was
good again this past
Saturday. We were chum-
ming and caught the fish on
jigs and bait. The pool win-
ner was Pierre Luccius from
Linden. We had good fishing
on Friday. We were fishing
17 miles SE of Brielle. The
pool winner was Nick
Marchitelli from Wood

THE OCEAN STAR
Beach Games USA has an-
nounced its first beach base-
ball event on Saturday, Aug.
29, in Manasquan.
The event, which is open
to residents of Ocean and
Monmouth counties, will
bring together over 120 par-
ticipants for two double elim-
ination tournaments.
The morning session will
start at 9 a.m. and consist of
12, four-player youth teams
ages 10-16 with an afternoon
session starting at 3 p.m. for
12, four-player adult teams
ages 17 and up. Teams will
have the option to add a fifth
alternate player for substitu-
tions.
Games will be played using
a plastic bat and ball in four
unique custom designed sta-
diums running from Main
Street to Riddle Beach with
opportunities for sponsors to
highlight their businesses
through stadium signage and
perimeter flags.
“We are excited about this
opportunity to build commu-
nity events with a launch in
my hometown,” Anthony
Nuzzolo, co-founder of Beach
Games USA, said. “As a town
resident, I know Manasquan
is an ideal location to hold a
family friendly event like this.
It is a great community that
supports local efforts
throughout the year. We are
pleased that the
borough shares
our enthusiasm
as well.”
Andrew Mills,
a town resident
who is employed
by the borough,
said, “It’s a
unique event
that gives an op-
portunity to
bring people up
to the beach that
might not have
had a chance to
come see the beautiful beach-
es we have.”
Nuzzolo’s idea for the
events came while he was
working in his shop. As a pro-
fessional designer and cre-
ator of indoor and outdoor
signage nationwide at his
South Shore Sign Company,
he conceptualized the cus-
tom stadiums which add a
unique component to recre-
ational sports.
Beach Games USA is also
working with Seaside
Heights and other shore
towns to hold events in late
summer and early fall of this
year. They plan to include
beach soccer in spring 2016.
Registration opens on Sun-
day, Aug. 9, and teams can
register at bit.ly/Manasquan-
BeachBash.

RESERVES THE RIGHT TO
ADJOURN THIS SALE WITH-
OUT FURTHER NOTICE BY
PUBLICATION.
PRIOR LIENS OF AFFI-
When it comes to profes-
sional sports, whether it is
Major League Baseball, the
National Football League or
even minor league baseball
teams, there is a certain
amount of professionalism to
which athletes are supposed
to adhere.
In the NFL’s personal code
of conduct policy, it reads,
“All persons associated with
the NFL are required to avoid
‘conduct detrimental to the
integrity of and public confi-
dence in the National Foot-
ball League.’ This require-
ment applies to players,
coaches, other team employ-
ees, owners, game officials
and all others privileged to
work in the National Football
League.”
Read it back one more
time.
Now, why are headlines
from the NFL consisting of
Geno Smith of the NY Jets
getting sucker punched in the
face? Why are MLB pitchers
beaning opposing players in
retaliation, which in turn
leads to teams clearing
benches to fight each other?
I understand that we are
talking about sports and in
the moment things can get
heated and choices are made,
but I think it is time profes-
sional athletes take a step
back and think about how
they look.
I also understand the need
to defend your teammates,
but as I sit and watch a pro-
fessional baseball game esca-
late because of a hit batter, I
just shake my head.
OK, a batter was hit. Just
continue with the game and
move on. But no. Now the
victim’s team is personally
offended that a pitch hit their
teammate. So what happens
next?
When their pitcher takes to
the mound he patiently waits
for the culprit to take his
stance in the batter’s box.
And what do you know … a
pitch high and inside careens
off the body and now every-
one is hot.
The umpire immediately
ejects the second pitcher as
per rule and in an effort to
prevent escalation. But the
batter already has his helmet
off and both teams are clear-
ing the benches to brawl.
Yes, it is entertaining to
some, but honestly it just
takes away from the game. In
addition, it sets a poor exam-
ple for the young ball players
out there. It sets a precedent
that it is OK to physically
fight during a game and it is
OK to retaliate against your
opposition in the given situa-
tion.
I have already seen many
examples of extremely poor
sportsmanship from players
of opposing teams. Taunting
in the form of less than ap-
propriate language happens
way too often. Even more
bothersome is the fact that
the coaches of those players
do not tell them to stop.
I’m not saying every team
does it. In fact, I’m happy to
say the teams I cover exhibit
great sportsmanship 99 per-
cent of the time. Every once
in a while, a comment slips
here or there, but stops when
a coach or an assistant coach
tells their players to quit it.
One mantra I learned play-
ing sports was to let your
playing do the talking. If
someone is mouthing off to
you, respond through the
game and not with your
mouth. Hit the next ball.
Strike out the next batter.
Earn the next point. Nothing
frustrates a team more than
not being able to get to their
opposition.
Two teams clearing bench-
es to fight is just childish.
And to continue on the
theme of childish acts, the
most recent altercation in the
NY Jets locker room blows
my mind.
Reports have surfaced that
the reason linebacker IK En-
emkpali sucker punched his
quarterback was over $600.
Someone borrowed this,
someone said that, someone
did not pay this — and now
Smith is out with a broken
jaw and Enemkpali has been
released from the team.
Coach Todd Bowles
summed the altercation up
perfectly, saying, “It was
something very childish,
something sixth-graders
could’ve talked about.”
Right there is all that needs
to be said; “…something
sixth-graders could’ve talked
about.” Does not sound too
professional to me.
So, a word to young and
upcoming athletes: Have
some class. Do not ever con-
tribute to senseless fighting
or escalate a situation that
does not need to be escalat-
ed. People are much more
impressed by the player that
plays their game to the best
of his or her ability than the
player that gets caught up in
words.
If you work on your game
and make the effort to be the
best player you can be, then
you will have the most solid
defense when someone
comes at you with words. Re-
member, for some it’s a job
and for the majority of every-
one else, it’s something you
love to do. No point in taking
any of that away from your-
self or the sport.

Beach pickleball
offered for all ages
THE OCEAN STAR
It’s coming soon to Bay
Head, Belmar’s sessions for
students and seniors just
ended their seasons and out-
door courts are being built in
Brick — but it’s being played
indoors this summer in Point
Pleasant Beach.
Residents of the area are
welcome to try pickleball be-
tween 9 and 11 a.m. Tuesday
and Thursday mornings at
the G. Harold Antrim School
gym.
The Point Pleasant Beach
Recreation Department is
providing two courts and all
necessary equipment this
summer. There is no fee or
pre-registration required.
Wear sneakers and join in.
Pickleball is somewhat like
tennis, but it is played on a
smaller court so it is not as
strenuous. The ball is similar
to a plastic Wiffle ball. The
paddle looks like a bigger
version of a ping pong pad-
dle.
The up-and-coming sport
is popular in senior commu-
nities across the nation, and it
is being taught in some Shore
primary and secondary
schools’ physical education
classes. Men and women can
be equally adept at it, and
mixed-doubles is the usual
game at the Antrim School.
Pickleball is described as
free fun, healthy exercise and
friendly competition. Area
residents are welcome to
drop in any Tuesday or
Thursday morning. Experi-
enced players are happy to
teach beginners the sport
they enjoy.
The Antrim School is at
the corner of Cooks Lane and
Niblick Street behind the
Point Pleasant train station.
Use the double doors behind
the staff parking lot.

tact Stan by telephone at 201-
