Fishing shack on Cedar Bonnet Island, 2001
Asbury Park Press 30 Nov 2001 Efforts to preserve an old fishing shack in Stafford are expected to get the Board of Freeholders' endorsement at its next meeting on Wednesday. Freeholder James J. Mancini said at this week's caucus meeting that he "passes that shack every day" as he travels along Route 72. Mancini said he supports the efforts of the Alliance for a Living Ocean and its board of trustees president, Joan Koons, to preserve the shack. The landmark structure on Cedar Bonnett Island was at one time used by hunters as a gunning shack, Mancini said. During the discussion, Freeholder Director John P. Kelly suggested the board pass a formal resolution of support, which was welcomed by Mancini and Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari. Freeholders John C. Bartlett Jr. and James F. Lacey were absent from the caucus meeting. The freeholders' regular meeting will be held at 4 p.m. Wednesday in the Ocean County administration building, 101 Hooper Ave.
