Kathy Johnston Art Work Fundraiser
June 4, 2006 During the time that the AMC was at Sedge, DEP’s Lynette Lurig brought artist Kathy Johnston to the island. Kathy had not been at Sedge for almost a decade. She was so glad to be back that she will consider doing a painting of the area in and around the Marine Conservation Zone with the McLain House as the focal point. We will be discussing this possibility and considering how we might use the painting and associate art work as a potential fundraiser by the Friends of Sedge.
Intern Up-date
Jim and Katina will have lots of volunteer help at Sedge this summer. Four interns will be sharing the work while groups are in residence. Each will have a major responsibility in addition to helping out with the day-to-day chores on the island. We look forward to getting lots more accomplished with this additional help.
We welcome back Carly Coughlin who volunteered for the entire month of August in 2005. Since last summer Carley has completed her senior year at the Ocean County Technical School’s Marine Academy of Technical and Environmental Science. During the winter she presented a paper at a national conference. Having been offered scholarships at a variety of colleges and universities, she has chosen to attend the University of North Carolina in Wilmington. Carley will be helping Katina to update our marine science curriculum when she is not teaching or keeping up our science equipment.
Alyssa Tripler lives just across the bay from Sedge in Waretown. She is a senior at Richard Stockton College of NJ, majoring in Environmental Studies and minoring in Marine Biology. Alyssa helped out with several programs this spring and immediately made herself a strong part of Sedge by doing so much work but also using her culinary skills to produce, among other things, delicious brownies. Alyssa will be helping to develop and organize our files and curriculum library.
Brett Ciccotelli has just completed his freshman year at College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor. When he is not in class, Brett kayaks and camps in Maine all winter long. Growing up in southwestern, NJ, Brett has worked with a variety of non-profit environmental groups including the Old Pine Farm Natural Lands Trust. Brett will coordinate the aquaculture project and in his spare time will help keep our fleet of boats and kayaks clean and in good repair.
Paolo Stanchi, a summer resident in Mantoloking where he is an avid surfer, will be starting his senior year at Archmere Academy in Delaware. Paolo is using his summer work at Sedge to help decide on a field of study in college. Paolo has already helped out with several programs this spring and has shown himself to be a good teacher and a hard worker. He has risen before sunrise and caught striped bass on several occasions. Paolo will be responsible for care and maintenance of fishing tackle and other equipment in the boat house.
