East Coast shark attacksstir up memories of 1916
ALLENHURST In 1916, deadly shark attacks sent wavesof panic
along the Jersey Shore and reverberating aroundthe nation.
Some called it a once-in-a-millennium-type event. Yet, 99years
later a familiar story is playing out again, in a rash ofshark
attacks off North Carolina.
Its very similar, the questions are the same. Why is
thishappening? Will this continue to happen? Will it happen inthis
locale? Is there anything we can do about it, said Dr.Richard
Fernicola, of Allenhurst, author of Twelve Days ofTerror, an
account of the 1916 shark attacks.
New Jerseys attacks, in which four died and one personwas
injured between July 1 and 12, became front-page newsacross the
country. The San Francisco Chronicle publishedan account that
bathers in New Jersey were being mauledby sharks, Fernicola
said.
The North Carolina attacks, where eight people havebeen injured,
including two who lost limbs, between June 11and July 4 are
generating even more media coverage.
I was sitting at home in my office when I heard of thesecond
attack and within 45 seconds it exploded on Twitter,said Ben
Miller, a 39-year-old New Jersey transplant living

Betrayal of trust
NEPTUNE Local police produced 21 reports, someinvolving domestic
violence and police Sgt. Philip Sei-dle, before officials say the
officer shot his wife todeath on an Asbury Park street. One report
was filedless than a month before the killing.
Documents released to the Asbury Park Press after
it requested public information related to the June 16shooting
and the Seidles marital discord show that po-lice reports were
produced since 2001 regarding oneor both of the Seidles. The number
of reports in-creased as the couple came closer to a final
divorcedecree in late May, for a total of five in 2015.
