In other business, the township committee asked for a replay of the conversation with James Van Duzer, who wanted to hold a model boat regatta at Zabriskie Pond on Sept. 2. Van Duzer said his group would need 75 feet of the eastern shoreline, with the gazebo used for static displays, that no tents would be erected, and that the club, which now has four members but hopes for more, would clean up any litter afterward. “We think Zabriskie Pond is a perfect location, and will heighten awareness of the beautiful setting in our beautiful town,” said Van Duzer, a lifelong resident and a Vietnam veteran with the U.S. Air Force. After discussion, the township committee said the boat regatta might be viable but wanted to make sure that any advertising did not include commercial information. They asked Van Duzer to stay in touch and said that, once an agreement was worked out to avoid any commercial intrusion -which might be construed as a violation of the Zabriskie deed -- the model boat regatta might also be acceptable. The Zabriskie House is the home of the Wyckoff Historical Society, which maintains a local history museum uphill from Zabriskie Pond on Franklin Avenue.
