Ewing Observer, New Jersey, June 2005
A LOOK INSIDE THE WORLD OF CAVING
“There is a certain dark quality and imperceptible mystery that has always been attached to the sport of recreational caving. While mountaineering, deep sea diving and other outdoor pastimes have been romanticized by the sporting world, caving has always stood alone, shunned by the claustrophobic and the weak at heart.”
—Stephanie Yu, Ewing Observer Reporter

CAVE MAN OF NEWTOWN PROVES THERE’S NOTHING NEANDERTHAL ABOUT MODERN-DAY SPELUNKING
“Luckily, Paul has never needed to be rescued, but like any caver, he has his share of stories to tell about loose rocks and being in unfamiliar areas underground.”
—Sylvia Simpson, Editor of New Horizons

SOME LIKE IT DARK
“What could make an otherwise sane person squeeze through tight passages, hundreds of feet below the Earth, encounter spiders, bats and icy cold mud with the very real possibility that they could be lost and die in the total darkness of the abyss? Viewzone reader, Paul Jay Steward is such a man.”

VISITING THE UNDERGROUND
“After sucking in our bellies and squirming through sphincter-like slits—like the Birth Canal and the Mail Slot—we arrived in the Dome Room. The 40-foot ceiling and over-hanging balconies made us feel as if we were in Lucifer’s own private opera house.”
—McKay Jenkins, Author of The White Death: Tragedy and Heroism in an Avalanche Zone
The New York Times, August 6, 1995
UNDERGROUND NEW JERSEY
“One caver, Paul Steward of Ewing, wedged himself against a stone projection two or three feet below, to catch anyone who misstepped.”
—Phillip Sayre, New York Times Reporter
WHEN YOU GOT TO GO, YOU GOT TO GO!
“And, as traumatic an underground dilemma as this was for me on that day in October, my internal biology held the trump card, and no environmentally sound desire in the world was going to allow me to leave only footprints this time.”
—Steve Martin Cohen, Caver, Author of Becker's Ring and Seven Shades of Black
