Box 332, Navesink, NJ 07752-0332 Page 2 The Beam Who Are the Wondering Wickies? by Elinor & Rich Veit If you worked the Lighthouse Challenge of New Jersey or were lucky enough to take the two day challenge, you might have noticed the how shiny and clean the first order Fresnel lenses at the Barnegat Light Museum and the Cape May County Museum were. This was not by chance. It was due to a small group of NJLHS volunteers, a branch of the Preservation Committee, who call themselves the “Wondering Wickies.” Armed with a ladder, a vacuum cleaner, long handled dusters, latex gloves, spray bottles, blue shop paper towels and a special “brew” (recipe provided by lampist, Jim Woodward) the group went to work first on the Cape May lens on September 29th, then on the Barnegat lens on From left to right: Gene Goch, Rich Veit, Nancy Cope, October 13th. Each lens took between three and Elinor Veit, Alvin Brown, Jim Cope four hours. Working on the Cape May lens were Al Smith, Alvin Brown, Patty and John Ade and Elinor and Rich Veit. The Barnegat lens was cleaned by Alvin Brown, Nancy and Jim Cope, Gene Goch, and Elinor and Rich Veit. In the future the “Wickies will probably offer their talents to other New Jersey lighthouses as word of their service gets around the lighthouse community.

Membership renewal forms will be mailed to those not able to attend the December meeting. We really did something different at the September meeting. We shared our love of Lighthouses with a big group of 4th Grade students and parents at the Samsel Upper Elementary School in Parlin, NJ. Bill Volpe gave a shortened version of his Lighthouse Presentation to the audience of about 150 people. It was a good turn out and reminded us of why preserving lighthouse heritage is important. We look forward to seeing all our members, old and new, and guests are always welcome to our General Membership meetings. Meeting Attendees: There were 61 members and two guests in attendance at our September meeting. Please remember to sign the book - We want to make sure there are enough seats for you at the future meetings! Membership Numbers: At the deadline for this issue, the membership numbers are as follows: Single Memberships: 161 Family Memberships: 203 x 2 = 406 Total Members = 567 (23 more than last BEAM!) Gift Memberships: Not sure what to give that person who has everything? How about a membership to NJLHS? You can find an application on the NJLHS web site and print one out. You can also get one from the Membership Team at the next membership meeting. The membership packet will be mailed to the recipient, with a personal note saying that their membership to the Society is a gift from you. Let’s get our numbers up!

Thanks to the ever-present Mary Catherine Kennedy, our “Queen of Community Outreach”, who represented us at so many events again this year. In addition to Mary Catherine, sincere thanks to Sheila Hines, Marty Hudspeth, Kathy Lanzim, Catherine Klix, and Carol Winkie for their efforts throughout year as well. Looking ahead to 2013: please consider participating in the outreach team for next year! As always: volunteers (new and returning) are essential to keep our Society throughout the community. Remember, you don’t need to be a lighthouse “expert” to be part of the team—just willing to discuss our shared interests with event patrons. There’s always someone to “fill in the blanks”. We have an outstanding base of lighthouse knowledge in our membership ranks. Consider joining the Community Outreach team for the 2013 season. For 2013, we will also continue what has now become a tradition of giving out NJLHS logo items to those who visit us at our various community outreach events. We are in the process of replenishing our supplies of these items—and we may have some new items in store, so “stay tuned”! Please feel free to contact me with any info on NJ events where NJLHS might want to be represented.

  • Iron, Section 2 (Part 4: Historic Lighthouse Preservation)
    PRESERVATION TREATMENTS WARNING: Many of the maintenance and repair techniques described in this text, particularly those relating to cleaning and painting, are potentially dangerous and should be carried out only by experienced and qualified workmen using protective equipment suitable to the task. It may be necessary to involve a USCG engineer or architect, preservation architect, or building conservator familiar with lighthouse preservation to assess the condition of the iron and prepare contract documents for its treatment. Cast-iron and steel features such as gallery deck brackets, handrails, skeletal structures, pilasters and door pediments, window architraves, as well as textured, finished surfaces such as raised diamond pattern non-skid surfaces, are important in defining the historic character of the lighthouse (see Figures 20 and 21). It is essential that the character- defining features are retained during any treatment. It should also be noted that while cast iron is among the most durable of historic building materials, it is also the most susceptible to damage by improper maintenance or repair techniques and by harsh or abrasive cleaning methods. Therefore, all treatment should be executed using the gentlest means possible. In Part V., Beyond Basic Preservation, examples of treatments that are considered rehabilitation and restoration are illustrated and discussed. WPTC photo WPTC photo Figure 20. Figure 21. Part IV. B, Page 14 IRON Protection and Stabilization (Mothballing) Despite their inherent durability, a historic iron lighthouse that receives only minimal or no routine maintenance is highly vulnerable to decay if it is not protected and stabilized properly. To properly protect and stabilize a historic iron lighthouse, a thorough inspection and diagnosis of all iron features: caisson structures, cast-iron plate walls, decorative features (cornices, door and window surrounds, decks, etc.) should be performed using the inspection chart in the preceding section as a guide.
