At Diamond Beach in the county od Cape May New Jersey, a dolphin apparently beached itself during the cold season, which may have been the cause. A teen checking out surf conditions Feb. 14 about 4 p.m. on Diamond Beach near Raleigh Avenue discovered a beached Striped Dolphin. Lower Township Animal Control Officer Don Montgomery responded along with Wildwood Crest Police.
The Marine Mammal Stranding Center in Brigantine was called. Volunteer Doug Ford arrived and began placing wet towels on the dolphin, which had body gashes on its stomach.
Marine Mammal Stranding Center Director Bob Schoelkopf said the dolphin died shortly after his staff arrived on scene. The dolphin’s carcass has been
shipped New Bolten Center at the University of Pennsylvania Veterinary School in Chester, Pa for a necropsy to determine the cause of death, he
said.
Schoelkopf said the dolphin was female. The age of the dolphin will be determined by the necropsy, he said.
Striped Dolphins are deep-sea animals.
“When they come ashore, it is usually to die or they wash up dead,” said Schoelkopf.
He said gashes on the dolphin may have come from it scraping along jetties as it neared the beach. The dolphin would not have come ashore unless it was sick or injured, said Schoelkopf.
The center seeks to train local volunteers to assist in marine mammals. Those interested can contact the center at 609-266-0538 or visit the Web
site: www.marinemammalstrandingcenter.org.

I was recently at the Brookdale Community College Guitar Show for 2008. There was maybe 200-300 people there throughout the building, although it was hard to tell exactly because there were two seperate floors, and rooms were lectures were going on and and bands playing. I did get to shoot some video footage and made a little clip for you to watch. I even got to do a Cameo lead solo, although its obviously not my best performance,(I had just woke up and didnt hav my coffee yet) although the cover charge is steep, I would recommemnd every guitar enthusiest to go to this thing, but go early and spend the day, pack a lunch cuz the food sucks. Its a good time and fun had by all…
