A tribute to a Coast
Guard K9 Continued from front page

When Canfield saw online about Ryder’s death, she wanted to me- Valory Canfield’s painting of Ryder
morialize him.

Canfield, a Long Branch resident, does paintings and draws charica-
tures for a living, but had decided she wanted to do more.

“I had decided to live out my passion, and paint with a purpose,” she
said. Since her husband is in the Coast Guard, the picture had special
meaning to her.

After she posted a photo of the painting online, the people who had
worked with Ryder all his life saw it, and got in touch with her.

They told her the painting meant a lot to them, and she had captured
Ryder’s expressions and emotions.

Canfield hadn’t known Ryder was stationed out of New York or that
she’d get an opportunity to speak to those who worked with him.

But it turned out they were planning to come down to Red Bank to
pick up his ashes, and then were planning to have coffee in Pier Village
at the Corner Café, less than a mile from her home.

While they were down here, Canfield presented them with the paint-
ing.

“It actually meant the world to them,” she said.
“It was very special to get to paint Ryder and then be able to meet the
Coast Guard members that knew him all his life. Especially for them to
have such a connection with the painting,” she said.
“I listened to my heart to paint Ryder and then to see them so touched
it all made sense why I painted him.”

April showers can’t stop Easter Bunny in WLB

By Coleen Burnett 1
West Long Branch — The weather outside may have been frightful
with lots of rain, but that didn’t matter once the 16th Annual West
Long Branch Easter Egg Hunt got under way inside the Community
Center on April 20.

Since it was held indoors this year, the children didn’t have to “hunt”
for eggs. Instead, close to 200 parents and children of all ages showed
up to get a bag of goodies, participate in arts and crafts activities,
munch on donuts and cookies, take a chance on Easter baskets that were
being raffled off, and spend some quality time with the Easter Bunny.
There was a holiday-themed poster contest. A DJ played music to keep
a smile on everybody’s faces.

Despite the weather, everybody still had a good time.

with one very large piece of plywood. The most common piece of trash was cigarette butts. Also very common were plastic bottle caps, followed closely by Styrofoam. The students
are committed to keeping a greener environment and chose to celebrate Earth Day with their classmates cleaning the beach.

“In all my time on council I
have never received an anony-
mous letter or package. Of
course, I have had people stop
over and state their views one
way or the other, but as I said ,we
are all here for the betterment of
Oceanport,” said Irace.

Irace called the Oceanport Po-
lice Department to report the
package sent to him. “Unfortu-
nately, I don’t know how far they
will get as the company that sells
it promises it will be anony-
mous,” added Irace.

If police are able to expose the
tiny edible penis shipper, Irace
just wants them to be account-
able for their actions.

“I was told that this is not just
a prank, it is actually harassment
of a public official. What upset
me the most was that it was sent
to my home, where my family
lives. My wife and daughters did
not run for elected office, I did.
They should not have to be ex-
posed to this,” Irace said.

According to the company
website, which markets these
items as “pranks,” what Irace re-
ceived was “The Evil Singing
Bag of Dicks.” It sold for $31.69.
What makes this selection so
“devious” is the annoying and
obnoxious jingle never stops
playing.
