Top Story:
Joann Carbone Duszczak (1954-2010)
It is with the greatest sorrow that we make the following announcement: Longtime Seaside Heights Councilwoman Joann Duszczak, who spent every summer of her life in Seaside Heights, permanently moving here in 1989, and having served our community over the last 20 years, has passed away after a short and sudden bout with liver cancer on December 28th, a few weeks shy of her 58th birthday. News of the severity of Joann's illness was only known within the last few weeks, and she had not made public appearances for several months. Joann was a staple on the popartpete.com website since it's inception, and was known as, "The Martha Stewart of Seaside Heights" for her skill in cooking, baking, decorating and all things domestic, as well as "The #1 Sports Fan Mom in Seaside Heights" for her love of watching her son Anthony, 17, excel at sports. She also leaves behind husband Wayne. It will simply never be the same without Joann, and imaginable that we will not be seeing her at meetings, in the supermarket, or at her favorite spot, the Seaside Heights beach. Our hearts go out to the family of Joann, and we will never forget this good and kind person.

Forget Times Square, Snooki makes her big New Year's Eve drop from Seaside Heights and the 'Jersey Shore' house...
New York's Mayor Michael Bloomberg put the kibosh on Snooki's "drop" from a ball in Times Square, so the event was pre-filmed, December 30, 2010 in Seaside Heights at the 'Jersey Shore' house. popartpete.com staff have know coined this area now as, "The Times Square of Seaside Heights!"
LOYAL READERS KNOW that our cameras have captured Miss Snooki, a.k.a. Nicole Polizzi, on film many times in her "reality" career.
Biggest Day-After-Christmas Blizzard since 1947...
"The Blizzard of 1947 was talked about in our family for the next 63 years..."
Pete's Grandma Jennie Smith (1896-1990) said that the day after Christmas that year saw 30 inches of snow, just like in 2010.

'Big Hearted John" Sundermann's REALITY BOARDWALK EMPIRE....
WAY BACK IN THE FALL OF 2004, we introduced popartpete.com readers to PAZ DE LA HUERTA, in a co-starring role, filming outside of the Big Hearted John Store while appearing in the indie 'Nail Polish'.
Paz was very cool, and little did we know, one day she'd be a star in the HBO hit, Boardwalk Empire. How fitting???
Paz is seen here during a smoke break. It was very chilly this night, but method actress Paz acted like the outfit she was wearing was normal!
BECAUSE JOHN HAD THE ONLY HEAT ON THE SEASIDE HEIGHTS BOARDWALK (notice his propane tank), Paz was able to bundle up, and watch television during her off time.
IT IS VERY TRUE WHAT WE PREDICTED IN 2004...
that one day popartpete.com will bring you, "More Stars Than There Are in Heaven!" Just think, Snooki AND Paz in one edition alone!
popartpete.com staff WILL NEXT be reporting from our WINTER HEADQUARTERS in LAKELAND, FLORIDA...sometime between the 3rd and 10th of February...
