By Brian DeakyneSEA BRIGHT – Few things have been the same in Sea Bright and neighboring towns since Super Storm Sandy devastated the area last fall.But on Saturday, at a new home, a touch of normalcy was restored to the borough with the return of Dunesday. With Donovan’s Reef – the regular home for the event – destroyed during the storm, the annual beach party for a charity was held at the Mad Hatter.Musician Pat Guadagno, one of several playing during Dunesday, sings and plays his guitar. Guadagno played for an hour in the afternoon during the 20th anniversary of Dunesday in Sea Bright.“This is about as special as Dunesday can be,” said Brian Kirk, who has run the event for two decades. “Not only is it the 20th anniversary, but to be able to bring people and money back to a town that needs it, it’s really special.”Despite the Mad Hatter also being damaged in the storm, owners decided to stay open outside for the summer, and give Dunesday a new Sea Bright home.“Brian approached me in January about having it here, and I just didn’t know if we would even be open,” Mad Hatter owner Scott Kelly said. “We were able to make it manageable for the summer.”The Mad Hatter will be knocked down and rebuilt in the fall. Because of the extent of the damage, most of the indoor facility has been destroyed and is not repairable, Kelly said.All proceeds from this year’s edition of Dunesday went to Sea Bright fire and first aid squads, which played a major role in the post-storm recovery in the town.“It was something that I can do, so I felt obligated to help,” Kirk said. “I’m fortunate that I have the ability to do something like this and to make Dunesday what it is.”Because of the storm, the Mad Hatter had to bring in food trucks and bathrooms plus get permission from the borough and state to run the event.Even with a different location, Kirk said the event came together smoothly and it was done without major media advertising.“Every Dunesday is different, but everyone came together once we found out we could do it here,” he said. “People tend to think that musicians should perform for free, and that annoys me. But, for a cause like this, they were happy to do it and I can say that I’m proud to be a part of this.”The 10-hour long event that ran from noon to 10 p.m. featured 10 bands and singers throughout the day.Dunesday was staffed by Donovan’s Reef employees who had lost their jobs after last year’s storm.“I’m nothing but gracious about this event here,” Donovan’s Reef manager Susie Markson said, “to be able to bring this back to Sea Bright is great.”Markson, who said that she still has not returned home since the storm, said she is appreciative that Donovan’s employees were given an opportunity to work the event.“This year is much different,” Markson said. “The logistics of putting this together – between the portable bathrooms and ice truck and that stuff – compared to Donovan’s, where everything was controlled and fenced in, it’s really amazing.”Although Kirk said there was no monetary goal for Sea Bright fire and first aid squads, he said that any amount of money donated would be appreciated.“We just want to set it up and let it run,” he said.“I was out here every day after the storm,” Markson said, “and every day” Sea Bright fire and first aid squad members “were heroes.”Kirk projected that there would be approximately 3,000 attendees for the event at its peak near 5 p.m.“It’s great to have an idea 20 years ago and it turns into this,” Kirk said.“This is the Jersey Shore,” said Tim O’Neill, who has worked with Kirk at Dunesday since its inception. “If this happened anywhere else, they probably wouldn’t be able to bounce back like this. People here take pride in this because it’s their beach and they didn’t want to lose it.”
Bad luck seems paid to Quique Setién’s team. In this 2020 the bad news is falling one after another. To the operation of Luis Suárez and Dembélé, the injury of Jordi Alba and now that of Sergi Roberto was added, in both cases it is also a break in the adductor of the right leg and the withdrawal time is similar, hovering between three to four weeks off.But in the case of Barcelona, each injury is a true blow to the sports project, because of having such a short staff. In fact, today Setién only has 14 players of the first team to travel to Naples, since the four injured, it adds that the Danish striker Martin Braithwaite can not play the Champions League. Obviously we are facing a simply dramatic situation and those responsible are inside the club. Right now Sergi Roberto has a very difficult presence in the face of the knockout round of the Champions League against Naples. Totally discarded for the first leg and with very few options for the return, which is played on March 16 at the Camp Nou, when the three weeks off.Everything indicates that Reus will not return to the pitch until after the selection stop, that is, at the beginning of April, missing a minimum of six games: four of the League (Real Madrid, Real Sociedad, Mallorca and Leganés) and the two of the Champions League against Naples. In principle, the right wing will be covered by Nelson Semedo, but the problem is that the versatility of Sergi Roberto made him a perfect player to cover any patch on the team.

Here’s one more cause of teen angst. Starting Sunday, teenage drivers will face more restrictions on when they can drive and who can ride with them. Assembly Bill 1474, an extension of the Graduated Driver’s License law, requires teen drivers to have their license for one year before they can drive alone between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. or carry passengers under age 20 without an adult in the car. Even minors who got their license before Jan. 1 will have to follow the new rules if they have been driving for less than a year. The current law restricts minors for only six months and prohibits them from driving alone between midnight and 5 a.m. “It’s just one more elimination of a risky situation that a new driver shouldn’t have to deal with. When you start to drive as a new driver, there are so many things to learn, there are so many things to keep track of,” said Marie Montgomery, spokeswoman for the Automobile Club of Southern California. “The idea is to prevent further injuries and deaths.” In 1997, the year before the current driving law went into effect, 16-year-old drivers were involved in 5,433 fatal or injury collisions in California, according to the Automobile Club of Southern California. In 2003, 16-year-old drivers were involved in 4,782 fatal and injury collisions, a 12 percent decrease. Drivers already juggle cell phones, music, food and coffee in the car. Teenagers need fewer, not more distractions, said CHP spokesman Joe Zizi. She said the new restrictions give young drivers more time to learn to drive. “You give someone too much too fast, you can’t function. We don’t want these teens to go out there with 14 distractions and drive,” he said. But 16-year-old Devon Rennie of Hacienda Heights, who got her provisional license last week, sees the law as another limitation on her freedom. “For a person who just got her license, six months is (already) a long time to wait,” Rennie said. “You want your license especially if your friends don’t have licenses … Not being able to (drive them around) kind of sucks.” Her friend Matt Franco, 19, disagreed. High school drivers do crazy things when they’re behind the wheel, Franco said. When he was 17, Franco was in a car accident because he turned around to see his friends laughing in the back seat. Steven Bloch of the Auto Club said the Graduated Driver’s License law is enforced as a secondary violation; law enforcement officers must first stop a car for another possible infraction before someone can be cited for violating the teen driving law. Officers probably won’t start handing out citations until February, Zizi added. Most will first hand out warnings for a few weeks.

My slippery voyage (made extra adventurous by giant chunks of ice promptly falling down from buildings and branches, crushing entire cars and ripping trees apart – real life Super Mario) led me to all what collectively creates Bucharest’s identity and diverse personality: Sure, you can glance up at those massive cement blocks marking Bucharest’s suburbia and see traces of a past that once was, but blink a few times and witness a crispy clean canvas. A unique opportunity for the new creative elite, decorating these constructions of local daily life with the colors of a fresh era. Geocaching was going to be the compass to my urban exploration, a digital cupid to slowly, but surely, make me fall with the introverted charm of this destination. Besides the off-the-grid points of interest, I searched for hidden treasures at the more obvious sights every travel guide hysterically raves about. Casa Poporului / Palatul Parlamentului, for example, the Parliament’s Palace (quite literally) and the biggest building of entire Europe and only second to the Pentagon, worldwide. This not-so-modest construction is 84 meters high, has a floor area of 365,000 square meters, a volume of 2,550,000 cubic meters and it contains no less than 1100 rooms. Other useless information Wikipedia provides us with it that it weighs 4,098,500,000 kilograms, which leaves me wondering on how they figured that out. I glanced out of the bus when leaving the airport. Large chunks of concrete created a grey contrast against the thick packs of snow slowly forming against the structures from the penetrating ice rains slamming down gloomy suburbs. To say it was love at first sight between me and Bucharest would be an unreserved lie. It worked. Street Art But, I’m tolerant. I believe in second chances. I wanted a slice of the Balkans raw on my plate and to sink my teeth into them. I was, by all means, determined to find the hidden treasures of Romania’s frozen capital. Literally. Architecture and Sights I found caches around the bigwigs such as the National Museum of Contemporary Art (MNAC), The National Museum of Art (MNAR – housed in the previous Royal Palace), the Art Collections Museum, the George Enescu National Museum and the National History Museum, often equally impressive from the outside as the interior you might or might not feel triggered to unveil. I enjoyed stumbling upon unexpected gems like the Theodor Aman Museum, a compact gallery dedicated to this Romanian painter communicating a unique sense of national culture by pre-impressionism, his style strongly hinting to artistic superstars like Monet & co.

Museums Hidden from view – GC6BEFH Whatever they can do with a paintbrush Romanians do even better when provided a stage. Luckily for the culture vultures among us, Bucharest is jam-packed with top-notch venues. The most famous one, and a symbol of national pride, is the celebrated Roman Athenaeum, the elegant concert hall placing Romania on the European cultural shortlist. Besides one of Bucharest’s prime landmarks, it’s an official European Heritage listing since 2007.
