Robert M. Yerike
Robert M. Yerike "Buffalo Bobby," 67 years old, died Thursday, Sept. 29, 2011 after climbing Nesuntabunt Mountain on the Appalachian Trail in Maine. He was born December 23, 1943 in Jersey City, N.J. Robert was raised and went to High School in Kearny, NJ. After high school Robert was educated at Emmaus Bible College, IL and McAllister School of Embalming, NY. He was a paratrooper and medic in the United States Army. After serving the Army, Robert worked as a truck driver for Preston and as an independent operator. Retired in late 1990s and worked with his son's companies, part time. His passion was hiking, this was his third "thru hike" on the Appalachian Trail. He enjoyed working out with his "Karate Friends"; he had a first degree brown belt Okinawan Karate. He was an avid reader, often five books at once, reading a chapter or two a day from each. One was the Bible, in which he walked the walk and lived his faith moment by moment. One of his greatest interest was in getting to know people. He always wanted to know what you did and how you did it, from the grocery store to the Appalachian Trail, and left them all with a chuckle and a smile. He also loved clamming, fishing, bird watching, gardening, and "tinkering" with the car and around the house.

Robert is survived by his ex-spouse, Edith Yerike; three siblings, Sandra, Kenneth, and Debra Yerike; six children, Dagny Fiore, Lisl Miner, Stephanie Rosario, Robert Yerike, Julie Cardoso, and Andrew Yerike; Robert is also the loving grandfather of eight grand-children, David Miner, Frances and Gabrielle Fiore, Shayna Yerike, Aaron Rosario, Myla, Paulo, and Juliana Cardoso. The family would like to thank all the people that helped in the monumental rescue of our father: Luke who hiked two miles for a phone signal, Hikers Rainbow and Fire Starter who stayed with our dad during the rescue process. Also Sgt. Bill Chandler of The Maine Warden Service (coordinated the rescue and contact for family), Lt. Kevin Adams of the Maine Game Rangers, The Greenville and Millinocket Fire Departments, EMS workers, and Millinocket Regional Hospital.

"All Men Die, Not All Men Live" (Buffalo Bobby) Dad you lived! Everyone will miss you and you will never be forgotten.

There will be a memorial gathering Thursday, October 6, 2011, 3-5pm with a Service at 5pm, at Weatherhead Young Funeral Home, 885 Mantoloking Rd. Brick, NJ 08723, 732-929-1811. Donations can be made to Appalachian Trail Conservancy, www.appalachiantrail.org In memory of Buffalo Bobbie (Robert M. Yerike).

Crashing the Tea Party

Excerpt:
"Our analysis casts doubt on the Tea Party’s “origin story.” Early on, Tea Partiers were often described as nonpartisan political neophytes. Actually, the Tea Party’s supporters today were highly partisan Republicans long before the Tea Party was born, and were more likely than others to have contacted government officials. In fact, past Republican affiliation is the single strongest predictor of Tea Party support today.

What’s more, contrary to some accounts, the Tea Party is not a creature of the Great Recession. Many Americans have suffered in the last four years, but they are no more likely than anyone else to support the Tea Party. And while the public image of the Tea Party focuses on a desire to shrink government, concern over big government is hardly the only or even the most important predictor of Tea Party support among voters.

So what do Tea Partiers have in common? They are overwhelmingly white, but even compared to other white Republicans, they had a low regard for immigrants and blacks long before Barack Obama was president, and they still do.

More important, they were disproportionately social conservatives in 2006 — opposing abortion, for example — and still are today. Next to being a Republican, the strongest predictor of being a Tea Party supporter today was a desire, back in 2006, to see religion play a prominent role in politics. And Tea Partiers continue to hold these views: they seek “deeply religious” elected officials, approve of religious leaders’ engaging in politics and want religion brought into political debates. The Tea Party’s generals may say their overriding concern is a smaller government, but not their rank and file, who are more concerned about putting God in government."

Happy Fathers Day!

From the NEWS Desk of Tom Mongelli:

Some events of interest in the offing:

· Mon 6/20 – Fukushima Disaster Impact on America, Jersey Shore Nuclear Watch, Ocean County Library, Toms River

· Tue 6/21 – United Way of Ocean County Day of Caring

· Wed 6/22 – State Senator Jennifer Beck and Assemblywomen Caroline Casagrande and Mary Pat Angelini launch their re-election campaign for the new 11^th District, Ocean Township (Monmouth). If elected, they’d create a bit of history as New Jersey’s first all-woman delegation.

· Thu 6/23 – HealthSouth Toms River marks fifth straight year of top 10 percent ranking by national Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation

· Thu 6/23 – MODC After-Hours, Cowan Gunteski & Co., Tinton Falls

· Fri 6/24 – Patterson Army Clinic closes at Fort Monmouth, before September base closure

· Sat 6/25 – American Littoral Society Eco-Cruise on Barnegat Bay

· Tue 6/28 – ATG

· Tue 6/28 – Fort Monmouth Chapel shuts its doors (See 6/24 above)

· Thu 6/30 – ATC

· Wed 7/20 – Ocean County Water-Traffic Safety Day, Seaside Heights

Difficulties and adversities are common points of news coverage. Otherwise, there really isn’t any news. But the loss of two teens, one from Ocean County and one from Monmouth, in ocean-related tragedies reminds us of the danger behind the fun along the beach. It also highlights the recklessness of this week’s bogus distress call to the Coast Guard, which diverted staffing and equipment in a meaningless search. The USCG posted a $1,000 reward for information leading to the capture of the pranksters.

Congratulations to

Bob Levy for being inducted into the NJBA Hall of Fame this week.

It’s a fitting tribute to a man who has spent more than 42 years at

WOBM and still going strong!!!!

Caller Says:

Again, if a country doesn't have a standing army to fight back with, they will use any method available to fight back. Israel puts on uniforms on their soldiers ..gives them guns...and Israel has the audacity to complain about being"attacked"? Look at this site above and then tell me what is the truth.

Gaza is a ghetto. The biggest outdoor prison in the world..it is called. Shame on a people that were treated so badly to inflict this type of inhumanity on another group is shameful.

Is potatoe an old spelling of potato?

Answer:

Apparently in the 19th C or before potato was spelled potatoe - but in the 20thC potato became the correct spelling and potatoes for plural. So now potatoe is considered a misspelling.
