Historical Society hosted their annual Civil War Encampment on the grounds of the Havens Homestead Museum. The event featured “soldiers” from the 61st NY Infantry, Company
C. The soldiers marched, fired replica guns, interacted with the public and explained what life was like during an encampment. They also slept in tents and made
their own food over a fire pit. Brick resident “Sergeant” Jim Heine said the whole encampment is about showing what a Union camp might look (Soldiers - See Page 5)

By Chris Lundy JERSEY SHORE – A pod of dolphins slips th rough the waves. A hu mpback whale breaches close to shore. Are you in Hawaii? No, you’re in Seaside. Beachgoer s were thrilled to see a humpback putting on a show during the last days of summer vacation, plowing through the water and feeding. It
was accompanied by a score of dolphins. Trisha DeVoe was on the beach when she – and everyone else there – noticed the huge mammal. She called her son to bring her the camera so she could take some pictures. She said she followed the whale for about a mile from shore. It was entertaining how people on the beach slowly
started becoming aware that it was there. Electricity flowed through the crowd as people noticed it. It’s not unusual for DeVoe to see whales, but it’s still a showstopper. She’s a naturalist on the whale watching boat Miss Belmar. It was actually her day off, and she still got to see this. (Whales - See Page 6)
