It Must Be Jelly 'Cause

Thumb_bear444The other bear is Jam. And the two big fellas are the stars of the Black Bear Exhibit and the babies of none other than Essex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo (or as we like to call him "Joey D.) who has gotten behind the Turtle Back Zoo in a big way. Except it's hard to get that word out without a hook. So they came up with one...

The Excecutive was on hand recently to congratulate the 5-year-old Rachel Eelman of North Haledon for being the 200,000th visitor to Essex's Turtle Back Zoo in 2005.

Says Joe: "Welcoming our 200,000th visitor is an important milestone in Turtle Back Zoo's history. It is gratifying, especially after all the work we did," he added. "Congratulations to 5-year-old Rachel Eelman and her family. I am proud that Turtle Back Zoo is one of her favorite places to visit and I hope being our 200,000 th visitor is a lasting memory for her and her family," the Executive said.

Note to Rachel: If Joey's gonna send your name to every media outlet in town, you must ask for something free, like a lifetime pass to the zoo, or at the very least a bearskin rug (faux, of course). The moral of the story -- the zoo looks great; go check it out.

Funny how, on the one hand, we're gloriying these wonderful creatures at Turtleback, and on the other, we're allowing them to be shot dead in the northwestern part of the state.

Ironic, no?

Or maybe it's just me.
