Let's start the party
Shore slips into holiday mode, hopes sun comes out to play
BY NANCY SHIELDS AND RICHARD QUINN

ASBURY
PARK — As roadways to the Shore filled up Friday with people
coming for what could be a hot and mostly sunny July Fourth holiday
weekend, 14-year-old Marcia Speller seemed content as she walked toward the
boardwalk's Asbury Amusement Factory with her younger sisters and brothers
and their cousin, Jasmine Moure, 12, from Neptune.
"We're all getting new outfits and we can celebrate with
our family — and we also can show honor and respect for the soldiers
that died for us," Marcia said. "That's why I love the Fourth of
July."
"And when the fireworks come, everyone forgets their
troubles and shows they care about America," Jasmine added.
This weekend's about fireworks and family. School's out.
Lifeguards are working full time. Restaurants and stores welcome the
holiday business. A celebration's under way.
Today's forecast calls for mostly sunny skies with a high in
the upper 80s. Temperatures on Sunday could reach the low 90s with a chance
of showers and thunderstorms, said Bill Christ, a meteorologist at the U.S.
Weather Service at Mount
Holly.
On Monday and Tuesday — the Fourth itself — it
will still be hot in the mid-80s but partly cloudy with a chance of showers
and thunderstorms, according to the forecast.
The water temperature was 65 degrees, Spring Lake
and Bradley Beach lifeguards reported Friday.
On the move
Garden State
Parkway authorities expected 6,432,000 vehicles on
the roadway over the holiday with the largest numbers expected on Friday
— 1,384,000 — and Tuesday — 1,446,000. NJ Transit offered
extra trains and buses for commuters leaving work early in New York on Friday
and Monday.
On the Asbury boardwalk, Ed Gasper, co-owner with his son,
Eddie, of Tides restaurant, said they plan to have entertainment today and
Tuesday.
"The beach is in tremendous shape. The lifeguards are
ready to go. Everything's in readiness," Ed Gasper said.
Robert Fitton, displaying a new fleet of bikes at Asbury Park
Pedaler on the boardwalk, said that hot weather could mean fewer people
renting bikes. But he was looking forward to seeing many people on the
boardwalk this weekend.
Nearby, at the Asbury Amusement Factory, owner Bruce Glorsky
watched as an 18-hole miniature golf course was being installed. He plans
to have it open by the Fourth.
"July Fourth is a very special holiday for barbecues and
getting together with families and friends," said Mary Boyle, 69, who
has lived on Fourth Avenue
in Bradley Beach for 35 years. "I think how lucky we are to be here
and to be in the United
States even though we don't agree with
everything that happens. We have to pray for our leaders that they guide us
in the right way."
Eileen McNelis of Avon, one
of Boyle's older sisters, added: "It's a time to remember what our
country's all about and pray for everyone who sacrificed their lives for us
to have our land."
A family time
On Main Street
in Bradley Beach, Winni Xiao, 31, whose family opened the Hong Kong Winni
Kitchen last year, noted, "The holiday is good because all the family
will be working here together."
Jose Contreras of Ridgefield
Park, plopped comfortably on a
beachside bench, worked his way through an amply sugar-coated funnel cake
while he and his teenage daughter watched the waves and the nearby
volleyball tournament in Seaside
Heights.
"It's a nice place to come to," Contreras, 46, said
between deep-fried bites. "We come down every year."
But they leave every year, too — preferably before the
masses who they expected to see idling on the Parkway as they made the
90-minute commute home Friday night.
"When there's too many people, you get pushed,"
Joslyn Contreras, 16, said. "It's annoying, and you get
frustrated."
Speaking of which, the Frog Bog — the game where you try
to launch a floppy frog into a floating cradle — was frustrating
Jessica Smith, 28, of Burlington
City.
"You didn't take a picture, did you?" Smith asked
with a cautious smile. "Great, you saw me stink at the frog
game."
Smith and new husband, Erik — they married a week ago
today — spent a few days last week in Seaside Heights
and returned Friday for a last look.
"It's beautiful weather," the new Mrs. Smith said.
"Why not?"
Asbury's third parade
Among the planned parades and fireworks, Tuesday will mark the
third Asbury Park Fourth of July Parade, which this year will have seven
floats, 18 bands, marching groups from throughout the city, four new fire
trucks and firefighter units from surrounding towns.
"The parade was just something to bring the community
together," said Deputy Mayor James Bruno, who started it in 2004.
"The first year, we had a crowd but everyone thought it would be one
of those same old parades — two trucks and a band. Now we have almost
70 different groups in the parade, and thousands came out last year to
watch it."
Back on Fourth
Avenue, where Marcia Speller and the other
children were making their way to the boardwalk, Tyrone Speller, 12, said
it is the city fireworks that he's thinking about.
"What I like is they show that big, big flag at the
end," he said.

Tip #19

more information or to arrange an appointment to view the house.

Tip #18
Home Selling Tip, Targeting Out Of State:
When you sell your home you sometimes have to put yourself in the
potential buyers’ shoes. In New Jersey many home buyers are from the
surrounding area, like New York or Pennsylvania.
Knowing this can allow your agent to
market your house more effectively.
If he/she will advertise in a New York publication they can describe
the proximity to NY. This allows
your potential Buyer Base to expand.
