FOUNDERS NOTE
| PHOTOGRAPHY ANN COEN
SOUNDS OF SUMMER Summer is finally here and we are so excited! We thought year one of bay magazine was great, but we’ve got to say: this year is even better. With all the different people we’ve met and things we’ve learned, we are humbled to take this opportunity promoting Long Beach Island (LBI), a place that holds a special spot in the hearts of everyone who drives over the bridge. As long-term residents and vacationers, we wanted to create something to celebrate LBI and its truly magical aura. And we’ve done it: bay magazine is here to show the hard work, beauty, and personality of this place and its many and varied inhabitants and offerings. We’ve started adding sections to the magazine—such as Weddings, one of the biggest growing economies on the island.
We’re also providing an Open House section about interior and exterior home designs, Get the Look for fashionistas and retailers, Feed Your Mind for dining, and pieces on many other local topics. LBI is home or a vacation destination to many, and a place where some find peace while others get a little wild on summer weekends (time for LBI to have its own reality TV show?). It’s a great location for lying on the beach all day, taking outdoor showers, playing mini golf with the family, grilling something tasty, and, of course, eating incredible tomatoes, blueberries, corn, and seafood. Summer on LBI just feels right; when you cross that bridge, leave all your worries behind, and then grab your copy of bay magazine, LBI’s top publication for leisure and lifestyle! - The Founders

OPEN HOUSE The Island: “Oh look! There’s a kitchen in my living room!” Kitchens are rapidly becoming more and more a part of the family living space, with floor plans opening up and a functional “island” serving as the only separation between living/dining and the kitchen. With that evolution, the kitchen island is now being treated as a piece of furniture and is often done in a color that coordinates, yet contrasts, with the perimeter kitchen cabinets. Beadboard, paneling, or doors are applied to the back and possibly sides of the island, with baseboard molding applied to finish the bottom. Sometimes the ends are left open with decorative legs supporting the countertop for casual seating. Although designers do not see many actual desks in the kitchen anymore, clients do want a place where they can use a laptop or tablet. A charging station is required, even if it is just a multipurpose plug in the island. Open cabinetry, wine storage, or a pet-feeding station may also be incorporated into the island, making it both an entertainment and serving center. Cabinets: What’s in “storage” for the future? In LBI’s shore-home environment, painted whites with or without accent glazing are the overwhelming color of choice. About 80% of orders have a paint finish and 90% of those are in white or offwhite. Considered by some as the “new white,” gray tones via paint or stain finishes are also coming into vogue. Cabinet styles tend toward the simpler, more contemporary, including flat panel, with or without accent beading along the inside edge of the stiles and rails. Traditional raised panels without applied molding or heavily detailed edges can make for a strong contender, especially in homes that are being built as a permanent residence for either now or in the future. LED under-cabinet lighting adds a nice finishing touch to any kitchen, whether in the form of puck or strip lighting; LED lighting does not generate the heat that the older halogen puck lighting produces, and also emits a cleaner color than the fluorescent strips. Large drawer-base cabinets are increasingly popular for pots and pans—no more down on your knees pulling out everything in the cabinet to get to that seldom-used cookware! Internal cabinet features are included in even the smallest kitchen to make the room

In addition to style and color, our designers are getting more requests for frameless construction and a plethora of drawers in the base cabinets. A serious cook’s kitchen can be easily identified by the number of base cabinets dedicated to drawer storage! The stacked wall cabinet of 48" to 54" or taller is a feature in many of the new homes with ceilings heights of 10' or more. The upper cabinet often includes glass doors and lighting where decorative pieces are on display. Surface Envy: Countertops With quartz surface manufacturers developing new colors and patterns that more closely replicate granite, this material is gaining in popularity. However, granite is still a widely-used option, especially since fabricators now offer a lifetime sealer that protects the granite from staining.

Flooring Flow Wood floors that run throughout the living/dining area into the kitchen are seen consistently in new homes, whether they are real wood, laminate, or even simulated-wood tile. Again, the kitchen is now serving as part of a family’s living space, where gathering and entertaining means a flow of guests wherever food and beverages are offered.

CUSTOM HOMES On Your Lot
Homes BUILDING A COMPANY FROM THE GROUND UP... Walters recalls when he and his brother Greg started building luxury summer retreats on LBI in 1984 – a time when the housing market was booming. But by the end of the decade, the market began to slump, and while some builders retreated, the two brothers persevered. The team decided to go from seasonal builders to primary home developers, acheived by key partnerships which jumpstarted an opportunity to make their mark in the single-family market. As Walters Homes celebrates its 31st anniversary and three decades of accomplishments as one of the leading builders in southern New Jersey, company founder Ed Walters, Jr. is proud to have weathered the changes and challenges that have occurred in the real estate industry. The firm is now 74 employees strong and still growing, delivering award-winning projects with offices in Barnegat and Haddonfield.
...SINCE 2012, ReBUILD HAS ACTIVELY CHANGED THE FACE OF THE JERSEY SHORE, ONE HOUSE AT A TIME. By year-end, the firm expects to close on over 150 homes since the storm. For homeowners who opt to rebuild their home on their lot, ReBUILD offers dozens of plans and design elements to choose from. Each home is specifically crafted for its site with layouts varying in size from 500 square feet to over 4,000 square feet. “The real estate market has started to rebound, and our focus for the future will continue mixing sustainable building practices with custom home building,” said Walters.
Two and a half years ago, the firm started THE ReBUILD division to meet the needs of residents at the Jersey Shore who were rebuilding following Superstorm Sandy. By promoting resilient, sustainable construction, ReBUILD
has created an opportunity to rebuild smarter, safer coastal homes.

A SHORE THING
| WRITTEN BY MARK EGGLESTON & DAVID ALLIERI | KITCHEN DESIGNER VALARIE FABBRI 24 BAY MAGAZINE SUMMER 2015
The Knightly Family of New Canaan, CT, summers at this great oceanfront beach house in Harvey Cedars. Originally constructed in 2004 while the family was living in London, the home recently underwent a major renovation under the direction of the owners’ close friends NYC decorators and Beach Haven shop-owners Mark W. Eggleston and David Allieiri of Wyndecrest Home, who also decorated the Knightlys’ primary residence. In fact, the designers and homeowners are such good friends that when the designers’ island residence was damaged by Super Storm Sandy, the family graciously offered their home as a temporary resting spot. So when it came time to renovate, the designers already had a design scheme in mind. The home was stripped bare while the floors were sanded and stained a light gray and all the walls were painted a crisp matte white with the trim painted in the same Benjamin Moore color, only in high-gloss. Natural fiber seagrass rugs were added throughout the home in a complementary silver hue. The sound system was revamped, including speakers hidden behind the drywall. A new glass stairwell enclosure was added.

OPEN HOUSE
The kitchen was completely gutted and triangular windows were added to reflect those on the opposite ocean-side wall. The kitchen island, made of wood reclaimed from a barn in Wisconsin, was repositioned to maximize water views as per the
husband’s only request. This rustic element contrasts beautifully with the Michelangelo marble used both as counter and backsplash, and the Lucite counter stools, mirror-finish stainless hood, and polished nickel hardware. The gray pendant lights above the island are actually ceramic and have a gloss exterior and matte interior finish. The dining-room table was a piece the homeowners found in London and was powder-coated by the designers in a high-gloss lacquer to match the home’s trim. The white linen pendant drum shade suspended by rope above the table was a custom design fabricated in South Carolina by a friend of the designers. The living-room features upholstered furniture by eco-friendly Lee Industries and is slipcovered in washable outdoor fabric. The pieces are actually made for the outdoors, composed of teak frames, marine foam, aluminum bases and the aforementioned outdoor fabric. The homeowner found them so comfortable and beach-friendly that she opted to use them indoors. The 1950s vintage cocktail table was damaged by Sandy in the designer’s Beach Haven shop, so was given the same powder-coating as the dining table.

The master bed is dressed in Belgian linens from Libeco Home and is flanked by white lacquer Parsons tables topped with concrete lamps, allowing once again the finishes and textures to create depth and interest. Blue lacquer boxes and mercury-glass knobs also feature in this mix. The boys’ bunk-room beds were custom-made for the space and are cantilevered out of the walls and stabilized by toggle bolts and the same ship’s rope used to suspend the diningroom chandelier. The beds feature linens by John Robshaw. The guest room’s navy tufted bench is also from Lee Industries and the vintage prints were something the homeowners couldn’t part with from their UK digs. Altogether, it’s a wonderful home, congruent with and reflective of its setting here on LBI. 28 BAY MAGAZINE SUMMER 2015

THE CONTAINER GARDEN MADE EASY | WRITTEN BY PEG REYNOLDS & KATIE HOOD

egin with a clean pot that provides good drainage. Choosing your container is the fun part—there are so many beautiful vessels from all around the world! You can also get creative: use an old basket, boot, or tin.
Wind is always an issue when you are by the shore; if possible, choose a spot with some protection. When searching for your plants, also keep the sun requirements in mind. Favorites for a sunny location would include petunias, million bells, lantana, scaveola, and portulacca, to name a few. Shady plants include coleus, non-stop begonias, caladiums, lobelia, and impatiens. Selecting plants that are in proportion to your pot makes a huge difference. A tall pot will look better with a grass or upright tropical, such as hibiscus or mandevilla, or with a palm in the center surrounded by colorful annuals. Low-growing plants such as sedums and succulents look fabulous in a squat, wide pot. Look for plants that will cascade over the side, such as potato vine, to give your container the finishing touch. Making sure to plant your flowers to the right height is key to success. Cover your plants just at the crown, and leave a few inches so the water does not overflow.
32 BAY MAGAZINE SUMMER 2015
| PHOTOGRAPHY WWW.JOHNMARTINELLIPHOTOGRAPHY.COM
To enhance drainage, place rocks, shards from clay pots, or even small plastic pots turned upside down at the bottom of your vessel. Next, use a lightweight soil mix with a slow-release fertilizer to cut the feeding frequency. If water or wind presents an issue, other products help retain water—the most important part of container gardening. Most container gardens will need watering at least once a day in the heat of summer. When you water, make sure you soak your plants. It is hard for a plant to rebound after it has dried out. If that does happen, remember, you can always replace just that particular part of the container, and make it look beautiful again.

FIVE ELEMENTS OF THE COASTAL BEACH HOUSE | PHOTOGRAPHY JOHN MARTINELLI

Architect Michael Pagnotta shares his tips for getting the most out of your home at the shore Michael Pagnotta knows a lot about living at the shore. An Ocean County native, he has been the lead architect in his namesake design/build firm in Ship Bottom since 1990 and has helped a lot of people build their dream beach house. “A home at the beach should be a background to your life at the shore,” Pagnotta says. “I call it Coastal Casual: A great, well-designed home that is simply your stage on which to tell your stories, cook your fish, live your life!” Pagnotta’s coastal casual beach house has five key elements that he says apply to any size home on any size lot:

The usual sequence of levels in a beach house is reversed: gathering spaces are on top and light-filled bedrooms are one floor down. “I design from inside out so a two thousand square-foot home might live like twenty-five hundred square feet,” he says.

Maximize the views Although not every lot can be waterfront, and most beach lots are narrow, Pagnotta starts with maximizing the site. And well-placed windows, balconies, and roof-top decks help to connect the house with the outside.

Low-maintenance materials The beauty of the beach comes with harsh elements. You could spend your days repainting and repairing, or have a house designed for the weather. “We try to keep our architectural designs simple,” Pagnotta says, “with clean forms that avoid trapping water.” He also builds using modern, low-maintenance materials so homeowners can spend more time enjoying the elements and less time fighting them.
Streamlined process for getting there Building or redesigning a home at the shore can be a complicated process involving many different contractors and complicated building codes. Pagnotta recommends a true design/build firm. “When an architect leads the process and has his own, in-house construction company, he can value engineer the whole project to save the client time and money and honestly, get you on the beach faster.”

OPEN HOUSE
From the outset of my career as an architect, it became clear that my relationship with the fabricators of my work would be crucial to the success of any project. A designer’s ability to communicate intentions, priorities, and ideas develops not only through drawings and documents, but-more importantly through long-term working relationships with builders. In a successful project, the two aspects—DESIGN + FABRICATION—are intertwined. Architecture, as a profession, was born in the nineteenth century from the role of the master builder. A master builder oversaw all other trades as well as the planning and design of a building. In the twenty-first century, as a designated and licensed profession, architecture was disconnected from craft. This evolution of the field of architecture inspired a move toward pre-assembled “products and systems” and away from “craft and fabrication.” At Michael Ryan Architects (MRA), we are combining a global view of materials with the highest quality craftspeople and intense project management to create a direct, even symbiotic, relationship between the architect and builder. This brings to mind my long-standing working relationship with one Bob Crosley. Bob has been involved in construction on LBI for close to 40 years. For the
44 BAY MAGAZINE SUMMER 2015
last 25, he has worked for Gary Gardner Construction as an on-site project manager. Regarding Bob, “manager” is a bit too sterile a word for his role in our projects together. He “lives” the house and its construction with constant thought and consideration. Gary Gardner supports his projects with a thorough, open, and detailed approach to implementation. This spring, I completed my fourth residence on LBI working along with Bob. With each project, over fifteen years, we have collaborated to push the limits of design and fabrication with the use of new and alternate materials. In each new phase, we reference lessons learned and details developed from our previous projects together. Built through communication, our collaborative history provides confidence from familiarity and a dialogue that is wide-open to discovery. As an example, our recent project together include the use of a lime plaster exterior material manufactured in Japan. The product, called Shikkui Kodai, has been used in traditional building, from temples to houses, for more than one thousand years. Shikkui is a sustainable product made with up to 50 percent reprocessed eggshells—a rapidly renewable, pre-consumer source of high-grade calcium carbonate. In addition to the eggshells, the plaster contains slaked lime, marble powder, soybean oil, jute fiber, and seaweed. Small
bay-magazine.com 45 | PHOTOGRAPHY BY HALKIN MASON PHOTOGRAPHY
plastic spatulas are used to apply and polish the finished surface. The result is a finish that is extremely smooth and somewhat reflective. The reflections are heightened by the light and atmosphere of a beachfront location. Shikkui’s unique composition results in a material that is flexible and, therefore, not prone to cracking. In order to ensure that the material was properly installed and finished, the plaster craftsmen attended a three-day training session in New Hampshire. It’s difficult to imagine the entire process of designing and fabricating with Shikkui or any material without the support and trust of a highly qualified construction team. I am lucky to have that in Bob and others who fabricate MRA projects.

The shifts within architecture as a profession and the regulations that increasingly surround projects have distanced the architect from the builder and associated trades. Bridging this gap is often difficult, as it runs counter to the legal and economic systems that organize the current building process. Strengthening that bridge through trust improves the dynamic of designing and constructing a truly unique home. Reconnecting the two—DESIGN + FABRICATION—creates an intangible advantage that supports both creativity and quality.

RECYCLING
RAIN | WRITTEN BY ANGELA ANDERSON
Recycling rain water is in itself a recycled idea. Take a look at any old photo of hunting shacks or summer cottages and chances are you will find a barrel hooked to the corner of the house. Now, many may argue that they look an awful lot like whiskey barrels—but in general it is agreed that these units captured rain and provided a free and clean water source to use for washing or watering plants, where and when water was needed. In NJ we get four inches of rain average per month from April through September. Regionally and annually LBI gets about 45 inches per year. Rough numbers but basically one inch of rain falling on a roof with a 10-foot-by -20-foot footprint could produce 125 gallons of water. Math is not my thing, but I can assure you, if

you hook up rain barrels and strategically placed rain-collection buckets—you will accumulate water. Traditional downspouts and gutters reroute water to drain off and away from homes—they generally drain onto a landing-slab and occasionally right into a grass or garden area or even a container garden or planter. But at the likely velocity of flowing water, sand, rocks and soil will be displaced and can cause puddling or flooding. The storm drains on LBI go directly into the bay. That means that most of the rain water does not percolate back into the earth to replenish our drinkingwater aquifers and, since we have much hard-surface area, the rain is not nourishing plants or soil. Capturing the rain before it races down the spout, over the road (taking with it anything in its path—gasp!), into the storm drain and out into the bay is the key to this functional and attractive piece of landscape art. Rain barrels can be purchased from garden supply stores; but communities on the island are beginning to host rain barrel building workshops so you can assemble and learn how to install your own unit. This community movement really can show the power in numbers—if everyone on the island had a rain barrel, we would be capturing a lot more fresh water and not turning on our hoses as often. This may not mean anything now, but when all the communities on the island start implementing water meters, I think rain barrels might become more attractive to all.

The potential of a rain barrel really depends on the size of the barrel and roof. It is up to you to use it so it is filled back up by rainfall. For example, last summer the
barrel at Long Beach Township townhall received 55 gallons of rain weekly. So if you use the water once a week from mid-April to mid-October, you could capture up to 1300 gallons over that time (55 gallons times 24 weeks = 1300 gallons). More rain will fall than can be captured by a single barrel. A drainage hose needs to be attached and routed so it can be absorbed. A soaker hose is a good choice, but you can also direct a hose into a drainage area. Some rain fanatics connect individual barrels into a series to increase storage capacity, or use larger rain storage tanks. Rain barrels are not just immensely functional; they can also be pretty public-art pieces adored by many. This yard and garden art can be painted any color with any scene, adding pizzazz to your patio. This free source of water helps divert runoff to the bay—a bonus for the fish and clams and you without additional cost (when those meters kick in). Just think of the value of this one simple act, especially during those peak-demand times—say, when everyone comes off the beach for happy hour and turns the shower spigot on. Many towns on the island have state required water conservation rules. Check your town’s website for those and keep your eyes and ears open for community rain barrel building workshops on the island. I’ll be there—come join me in this fun hands-on activity.

Wear sunscreen, obviously! Not as easy when you’re in a hurry. Also most of us don’t do this as a daily routine unless we’re going to the beach or know we’ll be in the sun all day. That being said: invest in a good daily moisturizer with SPF already in it. If you’re a foundation-wearer, trade it for a gradual tanning lotion with SPF for the summer. This way you’re more likely to protect your entire body and not just your face!
2
Wash your face every night. This is especially important in the summer and warmer months when your body temperature is naturally higher and you sweat more. With the sunscreen you’re putting on and the sweat during the day your pores are more likely to get clogged during this time. Washing your face is very important to keep it looking healthy and clean. Also be sure to exfoliate at least once a month.
3 4 5
Eating summer foods like melons and berries that have water in them helps you stay hydrated in the heat-and they taste delicious!
Drinking red wine is healing; it contains a natural phenol that is found in the skin of red grapes and can decrease redness from sunburns!
Take cold showers. They don’t have to be freezing cold, but cooler than the usual shower temperature. Taking hot showers after sun exposure will further the drying of your skin and irritate a burn; cool showers help to unclog pores and will ease the sting a burn can create. Drink more water! Staying hydrated is no doubt one of the best ways to keep your skin looking flawless and healthy. Drinking more water hydrates your skin from the inside out and helps keep it from drying out and becoming irritated from the sun. Put your sunscreen on when you’re naked! Your bathing suit is going to move at some point. To avoid weird tan lines or worse, burns, it’s better to apply your sunscreen to your entire body, even the parts that are going to be covered. Better safe than sorry!
68 BAY MAGAZINE SUMMER 2015
SPF 50
For those with acne prone-skin aim to use an oil-free-sunscreen to prevent breakouts or skin that looks oily; this also gives the sunscreen a lighter feel.
Don’t exfoliate when you have sunburn! It will hurt and irritate your skin. Even worse, it can cause bleeding and peeling.

SEVENTY SUMMERS WITH
THE
ISLAND SHOP
It’s 1945 Ann Hoffman recognizes the need for a clothing store on LBI. She sells $300-worth of war bonds and goes to the garment center in New York City, where she buys eight dresses. Back at home on LBI, she hangs the dresses in her living room and calls her lady friends to come see her wares. She sells all the dresses and goes back to New York to buy more with the profits. The home that has housed The Show Place Ice Cream Parlour in more recent years was once Ann Hoffman’s home-based business, “The Island Dress Shop.”
ANN HOFFMAN AND JESSICA HOFFMAN
Sales continue to see rapid growth, and, three years later, Ann decides to open in what was then a small store in Beach Haven, close to Murphy’s Market. Her new shop does very well. When she introduces sportswear, sales grow again. In 1962, Ann changes the name to “The Island Shop” to match its broader scope of merchandise. She and her husband, John, move the store to Brant Beach in 1966, renovating, building, and designing the new shop with help from her sons, John and Bill. The business grows and grows. It’s 1970 A girl named Jessica is paired up with the younger John Hoffman while on vacation with friends. The two continue to date, fall in love, and marry in 1976. They declare their interest in running the store. Jessica has started working at The Island Shop with Ann and is studying merchandising.
70 BAY MAGAZINE SUMMER 2015
JESSICA HOFFMAN AND JOHN HOFFMAN
In 1977, Ann proposes to sell the newly married couple the family enterprise, creating a plan by which John and Jessica will come to own the business in 25 years. An August 2011 Beachcomber article by Kelley Anne Essinger quotes Jessica as saying, “Ann wanted the business to stay in the Hoffman family.” In 1986, planning for continued growth and success, the store undergoes a major renovation, moving the business to the modern design we see in the present day… It’s 2015 The Hoffman family suffers some major losses over the years, with Jessica’s husband, John, dying in 2002 and their youngest son, Blake, passing away in January, 2013. Still, family helps sustain The Island Shop; along with her sons, Jessica says, “My mom, Jeanette, and my dad, John, have helped me many times, whenever needed.” In fact, at the ages of almost-84 and almost-86, they still help at The Island Shop. Now this landmark store is celebrating its 70th season, with support from their family, friends, employees, and customers, the next generation of Hoffmans has been able to turn Ann’s years of retail success into many more, reaching this year’s huge milestone. Indeed, Jessica and her family continue to help people on LBI pursue their passions for summer fashions. Make sure to visit this LBI institution and enjoy its selection and service for today’s LBI visitors.

78 BAY MAGAZINE SUMMER 2015
PADDLING OUT Jetty (jettylife.com) began with an idea among friends on a 2003 trip: “Let’s start a surf brand” that’s all about “supporting athletes, motivating the next generation, and spreading positive energy.” Five original founders put that idea into action: they picked the name, Jetty, designed a logo, created a business plan, and set out to break into the surf-apparel industry. As a group, they decided to build and live The Jetty Life, which meant a chance to work for themselves, create opportunities, and facilitate travel while pursuing their passions. What they created, ultimately, is a lifestyle apparel brand built on core values that truly guide the way they do business—and also do good.
SWELL Back in 2003, the inaugural Jetty crew started printing t-shirts in a one-car garage. There were only three designs. The inventory was managed by one founding member, on plastic shelving in his bedroom. Eventually the brand grew enough to necessitate renting warehouse space, and with the new space came better equipment. Jetty’s quest to make the most comfortable, well-designed gear led their growing team to rapidly master the art and enterprise of screen-printing. When printers could not meet their standards, Jetty figured out their own eco-friendly, water-based ink system – a process that other companies now pay for as part of Jetty’s screen-printing services. Jetty designs and produces two clothing lines, offering everything from t-shirts, tank tops, and sweatshirts, to pants, board/walk/hybrid shorts, and accessories such as headwear and socks. They initially sold merchandise via local LBI retailers such as Farias Surf and Sport
and The Surf Shack, then later Surf Unlimited, with their extended surfing network bringing access to generous shelf space on LBI. Today, Jetty’s gear can be found in 100+ retail locations in every state on the Atlantic seaboard.
WHO’S IN THE LINE-UP? Original Jetty co-founders and friends, Jeremy DeFilippis and Cory Higgins, met in 7th grade, when Southern Regional School District brought the mainlander and islander together. They remained friends through high school and while Jeremy studied Finance at the University of Delaware and Cory studied Management Information Systems at Rowan University. Now, although the other members of the founding five have left the company, these two friends continue to lead, along with significant new partners who came on board in 2009: Paul, Craig, and John (son of Craig) Clifford, lifelong LBI surfers with Beach Haven roots. Paul met Jeremy at Tuckers and Kubel’s Too, where Jeremy was tending bar. As board-level partners in the enterprise, Paul and Craig offered to invest in The Jetty Life—specifically, Jetty Life LLC. John, meanwhile, had recently graduated from the University of Delaware with a degree in design, so he took the role of Jetty’s Creative Director as the third operating partner alongside Jeremy and Cory. As they describe it on jettylife.com, the Jetty crew “design and print our own apparel, find ways to innovate, learn from our mistakes, sweat, surf, skate, dance, party, and listen to a lot of music.”
IT’S ALL GOOD What Jetty has come to stand for, as a brand,

is something intrinsically good, something that goes beyond benefitting just a few to making a difference for many. In fact, one of the best compliments that Jeremy and Cory recall receiving was from a friend who said, “When I put on a Jetty shirt, I feel like I’m doing something good!” Jetties can be found around the world, stabilizing shifting seafronts while also proffering favorite surf spots. Like those placechanging structures, the Jetty brand supports its community, and others, and acts on core company values in a range of ways to benefit people and the environment. The company’s unique ability to pursue community efforts, build fan engagement, and create well-designed gear may be best exemplified by the Annual Jetty Clam Jam, which completed its eighth event in fall 2014. This biggest of LBI surf contests brings together the surf, business, and nonprofit communities to celebrate competitive surfing and surf culture on LBI’s beaches. A companion event, the all-female Jetty Coquina Jam, serves as a fundraiser to benefit David’s Dream & Believe Cancer Foundation (DDBCF). Since 2009, the Jetty Coquina Jam has produced over $32,000 in donations for cancer patients through DDBCF. Jetty’s efforts to benefit LBI and the surrounding region don’t stop at surfing competitions. As Super Storm Sandy ravaged homes throughout the area, Cory, John, and Jeremy had already started discussing a relief effort. With their Little
Egg Harbor manufacturing and office location safe from flooding, they instantly activated. They designed the “Unite + Rebuild” t-shirt and began pre-selling them on Jettylife. com. In the weeks and months that followed, the Jetty team rallied volunteers, supplied food banks and shelters, got families and businesses back on their feet, ran fundraising events and clean-ups, and worked with Waves for Water, an international organization that stepped in to provide support and expertise on mobilizing during the crisis. The documentary film-LANDFALL: The Eyes of Sandy-offers a moving version of this time for Jetty and many throughout the community. As of Summer 2015, twoand-a-half years after the historic storm, Jetty has donated in excess of $340,000 for Sandy relief. They also formed the Jetty Rock Foundation, the 501(C)3 nonprofit arm of the brand. In 2014, Jetty ran their first Hop Sauce Festival, a gathering of craft beer and spice enthusiasts that raised over $25,000 for their nascent foundation. Jetty and its foundation plan on growing the Hop Sauce Festival, which has become their major fundraiser. As of fall 2014, the foundation had donated in excess of $107,000 for Sandy relief, for dune replenishment, and for youth and culture initiatives. For example, among other major gifts, the Jetty Rock Foundation donated 50 iPads and Jetty Tech Labs for a total donation of over $25,000 in technology to the three LBI schools for the academic year starting September, 2014.

NEXT SET The future is bright. The company started to transition last April to a new space on Route 9 in Manahawkin, across from Cory and Jeremy’s alma mater, Southern Regional High School. The move will, among other things, enable the company to build its self-curated events, which have helped grow the brand and establish Jetty as a key presence on LBI, in Stafford Township, Southern Ocean County, and beyond. Jetty plans to continue its penetration into the surf market and was recently recognized as one of the top emerging brands by the Surf Industry Manufacturer’s Association. Besides growing through events, community outreach, and merchandise sales regionally and on the East Coast, they will take the brand to new customers and retailers by continuing to organically tell their story. Look out for Jetty—now, when you see the brand on a sticker or gear, you can imagine this awesome collective of people, working to do something new, different, and better for people, surfing, beaches, good times, music, and more.

HOW WE MET Paul was friends with my older sister Jaimee in high school. I always thought he was the cute one out of her group of friends but never dreamed I would have a chance with him since I was three grades younger; I never thought he would even notice me. Time went on and my sister and Paul graduated high school and went onto college and I was still at home finishing up my senior year. That October, my family threw a costume party and had all of our friends over to celebrate my 18th birthday. Paul happened to be home from college and came to the party dressed as a cowboy. I was dressed as Tinker Bell. When he showed up, I was so excited and chatted with him throughout the night. Little did I know, he apparently had his eye on me, too. That was the night we shared our first kiss and we’ve never looked back since. Now it’s 10 years later and I get to say that I am head over heels in love with (and married to!) my high school crush and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

HOW HE PROPOSED In the fall of 2013 we planned a trip to Europe with my cousin, Laura, and our friend, Dave. The itinerary was Barcelona, Amsterdam, and Paris. Neither of us had been to Europe before and we were so excited to get out and explore a new part of the world. Laura and Dave had gone a few days earlier than us and were still in France when we arrived in Barcelona, so we had a few days to ourselves to enjoy the city. Paul and I woke up early the first day and made it out to the beach to check everything out. We strolled the coast line to this beautiful restaurant where we had paella and sangria for lunch, looking out over the Mediterranean Sea. Afterwards we walked back along the beach, all the while finding some of the best sea glass we’ve ever seen. There was so much we were basically crawling down the coast, every time you looked down you saw another amazing piece! We were both (or at least I thought we were both) so into collecting it that we got separated a little bit. After a few minutes I heard Paul calling my name, telling me to come quick and check out his find. He was kneeling over “the sea glass” so I ran back to him to see, and when I got to him, he turned to me with the most beautiful ring I’ve ever seen, took my hand, and asked if I would marry him! I was so surprised, I couldn’t even speak, I was just smiling from ear to ear. After a few shocked seconds I choked out an, “Of course I will!” and we’ve been smiling ever since. 108 BAY MAGAZINE SUMMER 2015

VINTAGE
STYLE Questions & Answers
| WRITTEN BY JEANNINE ERRICO & ERIN BUTERICK
Hello, all! First, we must introduce ourselves: we are Jeannine Errico and Erin Buterick, the savvy, intelligent, supermodel-looking owners of School of Vintage. What is a ‘School of Vintage’? It’s a handmade and vintage boutique that specializes in bridal gowns and accessories. As you may have guessed, we are not your traditional wedding vendor. For those of you who already follow us on Facebook, Instagram, or any other social media outlet that we may have signed up for and forgotten to use, you know that we have a recurring post, which has turned into its own blog titled “S*** People Say.” We decided to keep our bay magazine column as interactive as our social media, and bring to you S*** People Ask. However, since this is a legitimate and beautiful magazine run by two wonderful people who have somehow trusted us to write this column, we will be titling this piece with more professionalism:

WEDDINGS possible. Usually there’s a reason a bride is looking for vintage, and that’s because she likes those aspects that are oftentimes not found on modern gowns. It’s what sets these gowns apart. As far as altering for a bride, the ideas usually come from her. The idea of taking a skirt from her mother’s gown and placing it on the bodice of her grandmother’s is creative and exciting work to do. I love when brides have an outside-the-box vision; it makes their gowns really personal. Question: What are the steps from trunk/box/suitcase to store rack? Erin: You’d be surprised at the condition we find some dresses in. We’ve found 70-year-old dresses crumpled up in garbage bags in an attic, at garage sales next to an old ashtray, and shoved in the back corner of a closet. With a little (or sometimes a lot of) TLC, they shine like the top of the Chrysler building! The journey from garbage bag to our rack usually requires: multiple soaks in my bathtub, “sunbathing” the dress for a little UV therapy, replacing buttons, replacing rotted lace, fixing old beading, and any alterations that are needed.
Question: I love vintage gowns, but don’t want to wear a whale-bone corset to fit into one. What are my options? Erin: I love this question. Who doesn’t want to wear a whale-bone corset? I think what this person is referring to is the tiny waists we often see in vintage gowns— specifically from the 1950s when corsets were common. Usually there is enough seam allowance if you’re within an inch or two of the gown’s measurements, so alterations can fix that issue. One of the downsides to shopping vintage is that there is only one in existence! This means, if it doesn’t fit, and nothing can be done 112 BAY MAGAZINE SUMMER 2015

WEDDINGS look that is just so undeniably beautiful. And, of course, the New Look of the, 50s. This really took on a life of its own in the wedding department with the tight bodices and full skirts – the term “princess” comes to mind here. This type of dress yields the most flattering look on most body types. There are, of course, endless variations

of each look from each decade and some of those styles have fallen flat while others have such classic elegance and staying power that their silhouettes have been replicated time and time again. Question: How do you determine if a vintage piece is worth selling or salvaging? What inspiration do you use to update some pieces? Erin: Rule One: not all vintage is good vintage! We have a few questions we answer that serve as our criteria: A) Is there a market for it? Meaning, even if it’s not our particular style, can we see someone liking it? B) Is there any damage? If so, is it fixable or at least wearable? C) Is it costume-y or classic? D) Can we sell it for enough to make the work going into salvaging it worth it? Jeannine and I have this version of ESP we’ve named “Vintuition.” This basically means, without speaking to each other, knowing whether the other person wants to salvage a piece or not. It’s accurate 93% of the time. We also apply that term to knowing where to order lunch from or whether or not to get manicures after rummaging through someone’s basement. Question: Whaaaaaat is up with vintage sizing? I’m all

over the place in my previously loved pieces. Or is it more likely they’ve been altered? Jeannine: To sum it up with an example, there’s about a four-size difference between what once was a size 12 fifty years ago and what a modern size 12 is today. That can be really confusing (and discouraging!) in and of itself.
And to add to that, you’re right, there’s a good chance the pieces have been altered. Vintage clothing was not massproduced like it is now. People bought clothing to last and they had pieces for everyday wear and for special occasions. More often than not, these items were in it for the long haul, so their wearers would have them altered to their specific

dimensions. What you’re experiencing is most likely a combination of the sizing difference and the alterations, which really makes the size label almost useless to the consumer. Our customers often ask for specific sizes when they come in. We usually end up explaining all of this to them with the main point to just forget the size label. Pretend they’re not even there. Try it on (using your better judgment so as to not rip it or break a zipper, which has happened more than once). In some cases it’ll be perfect. Sometimes it will need to be altered. And sometimes it’s just not meant to be. But the bottom line is to forget sizing and go with your eye.
We’ll be back in the September issue of bay magazine to answer more burning Frequently Asked Questions – don’t miss our next column! We’ll be addressing some of the following customer inquiries and more: • How would you help a plus-size gal with vintage style? • If my mother’s/grandmother’s vintage gown is ugly/ outdated (or made post, 70s) is there any way I can incorporate parts of it into a new one? • What is the absolute favorite wedding dress you had the pleasure of working on? • What do you suggest for the rest of the wedding party, so you have a cohesive vintage look? And if you have questions to ask in the meantime or are planning your big day, feel free to contact us, follow us on social media or in our blog, or stop into our Surf City location for a face-to-face chat. See you soon!

THE BENEFITS
of LEMONS | WRITTEN BY LAUREN GRUFFI
FIGHT INFECTIONS! Lemons are jam packed with Vitamin C and flavonoids that maintain your immune system and help fight against infections such as the common cold and flu.
PECTIN FIBER Lemons contain pectin fiber, which is beneficial for colon health. Pectin also blocks fat absorption, so it will help you lose weight.
HEALTHY GLOW Because Vitamin C is crucial in the production of collagen, it plays a major role in maintaining the health of your skin. Lemons will rejuvenate your skin and bring a fresh, healthy glow to your face!
NATURAL CLEANSE Lemons help flush out toxins, so try to start your morning with some lemon water. Lemons are a strong natural diuretic and help you cleanse.
NATURAL ANTIBACTERIAL Don’t worry if you don’t have antibacterial soap in your purse because lemons have great antibacterial properties! Lemon juice has the power to destroy the bacteria of fatal diseases including malaria, cholera, diphtheria, and typhoid. EYE HEALTH Lemons help maintain healthy eyes and are shown to improve the symptoms of eye disorders including diabetic retinopathy. CELL ENERGY Lemons are the only known food in the world to be anionic, meaning they carry a negative charge. All other foods are cationic, so lemons are extremely helpful in interactions that provide cell energy.
128 BAY MAGAZINE SUMMER 2015
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY Lemons are anti-inflammatory agents that lower your body’s levels of interleukin-8. REMEMBER CHEMISTRY? Lemons are an excellent source of potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and citric acid, all of which are critical to properly maintaining your bodily functions. DIGESTION Lemons aid in digestion and encourage bile production. 22 ANTI-CANCER COMPOUNDS Lemons contain a whopping 22 anti-cancer compounds, including limonene, which is a citrus oil shown to prevent DNA damage that leads to cancer.

summit Mt. Everest, attributed much of his success to lemons? Lemons combat the acute effects of dehydration at high altitude. CLEAR SKIN Lemons help in preventing wrinkles and acne and are of great benefit to the skin! LIVER HEALTH Lemons act as stimulants to the liver and help dissolve uric acid and other poisons. They also strengthen the liver by providing energy to the liver enzymes, and they balance calcium and oxygen levels in the liver. A glass of lemon juice can provide relief if you’re having heartburn. REST & REPLENISH Have a glass of lemon juice after a hard workout to replenish your body’s sugars! CITRIC ACID The citric acid in lemons helps dissolve gallstones, calcium deposits, and kidney stones. EAT THE PEEL! The lemon peel contains the phytonutrient tangeretin, which has been shown to be effective in helping brain disorders such as Parkinson’s disease.

Tuckers Tavern was a local family-owned restaurant for over fifty years when it was devastated in Super Storm Sandy, leaving the possibility of being sold for new development or kept open as a restaurant. Luckily, restauranteur Martin Grims purchased Tuckers and decided to renovate and reinvigorate this Beach Haven favorite. (Grims also operates Daddy O Hotel and Restaurant in Brant Beach and Plantation Restaurant in Harvey Cedars, as well as the Moshulu and the White Dog Cafés, in the Philadelphia area.) Executive Chef Allan Vanesko has been a Chef Partner in several restaurants with Mr. Grims, including the partner132 BAY MAGAZINE SUMMER 2015

His first job was as a dishwasher, where he enjoyed the hustle and excitement of the restaurant every night. Working his way up, he started in the kitchen, going from cook, to sous chef, to chef de cuisine, until he became a chef. A graduate of the Restaurant School, Chef Al led the culinary teams at the awardwinning Passerelle Restaurant, Bravo Bistro, and several other restaurants.

is well-known for menu development inspired by each restaurant’s unique identity. Tuckers Tavern reopened in July 2014 right in the middle of the summer season—a very busy time for a shore restaurant. Being slammed from day one gave the team little time to work out the kinks. It was a challenge opening their doors with a brand- new, completely remodeled kitchen without much practice, and with the large summer crowds waiting to visit. However, the team worked hard and got through the season successfully. Meanwhile, Chef Al is still developing dishes that will surely become signature favorites. Tuckers offers American gastro-
134 BAY MAGAZINE SUMMER 2015
pub menus featuring creative beer-centric food and coastal beach favorites, including a variety of plates to share. The menu is updated often with the availability of seasonal ingredients and seafood. Tuckers’ raw bar, wood-grilled entrees, and sandwiches seem to be favorites so far. The happy hour menu is also very popular, including Blistered Shishito Peppers and Lacquered Chicken Wings. The Tavern offers daily specials with seasonal cocktails and rotating tap handles. It is pretty unusual to have the opportunity to re-open such an iconic restaurant—one that holds many special memories for the local community and shore visitors. With their new look and updated menu, the team hopes that guests will continue to enjoy this unique Beach Haven treasure for years to come.

Panini Bay: The Freshest
and The Finest A dining experience by land or sea
| WRITTEN BY IVAR JOHNSON
I was a business major in college. I moved to New Jersey and opened up a paint store with my brother. After we sold the business, I taught high school for a period of time. Throughout everything, my passion, my creative outlet, my way to decompress after a long day was cooking. I would always wonder what it would be like to turn something that I loved into a full-time career. When I was laid off from my teaching job because of a reduction-in-force, at the encouragement of my wife, Emily, I enrolled in the Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College in Philadelphia. After two years I was class valedictorian, and graduated with a confidence and skill level that set me on my chosen path. I worked and apprenticed in several restaurants, seeing the way chefs ran not just their kitchens, but also the overall chemistry that is created between the front of the house, the kitchen staff, and the dishes being served. I realized that I wanted to create an intimate and unique atmosphere, one that feels warm and inviting, with Italian food that raises the bar. For us at Panini Bay, that patron experience is created via our talented kitchen crew, who strive to make exceptional food; our fantastic wait and host staff; and a beautiful view that sets us apart from the rest. Now I get to work at my craft everyday with great people in a neighborhood that has been extremely supportive since the moment we took over the restaurant three years ago. I get to accomplish all of that while maintaining a home life with my family: Emily, our son, Jonas (age 5), and our daughter, Lucy 136 BAY MAGAZINE SUMMER 2015

BAY NIGHT OUT (age 2). (We live above the restaurant which really makes this possible.) Historically, this restaurant had a pre-existing fan base, so one challenge was to make sure that people understood we were not going to mess with the classic Panini Bay menu that people had come to know and love. The specials we featured then and now are my way of introducing people to my style of cooking and giving the menu an added unique flair. Our first summer, we were introducing ourselves, letting everyone know who we were, and proving the transition would be smooth while raising the quality of food and service. Dishes we are known for include clams and hot sausage, shrimp and grits (my own style of polenta grits made with fresh Jersey corn), and cioppino. People come from Long Beach Island because we provide a special destination, a little jewel of a place for an afternoon or evening, where you can experience a great view, fantastic service, and a memorable meal. Guests take a stroll on the dock and feel refreshed and happy. So whether they untie and boat back or drive over the bridge, we’ve left a lasting— and flavorful—impression.

BANANA BROWNIE PIE Ingredients 1 box of brownie mix (any brand) 3 bananas 2 eggs 1/4 cup water 1/2 cup vegetable oil Crust 16 graham-cracker cookies 1/2 brown sugar 1 stick butter (melted) Toppings Whipped Cream (I use fat-free) 2 Tbsp. peanut butter Sprinkle of cinnamon Mix two eggs, 1/4 cup of water, 1/2 cup of vegetable oil, and three mashed-up bananas. Then add the dry brownie mix. Mix till smooth. For the crust, I love to use a grahamcracker crust. It add some crunchiness to the pie. Crush 16 grahamcraker cookies in a Ziploc® bag. Mix 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 1 stick of melted butter with the crushed cookies, to create a crust. Literally that’s it! Put the pie in a 350 degree oven for about 30 mins. (checking after 20 mins.) and then it’s done! You can add a dollop of whipped cream on top and drizzle it with with warm peanut butter. You can use chocolate sauce or even caramel—whatever your like.

FEED YOUR MIND HERE ARE A FEW TIPS TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR VACATION—WITHOUT REGRETS WHEN IT’S OVER
EAT LOCAL Barnegat Light’s fishing fleet makes access to top-quality seafood at local stores and restaurants as easy as shucking a clam. Fish are rich in protein and high in omega-3s, which work inside your body to lower cholesterol. Here for a while? Start a small garden with New Jersey’s rich soil. You’ll be amazed at how many vegetables you start eating once you only have to walk to your backyard to get them. LIGHTEN YOUR LOAD Some families look as if they could use a team of mules to help haul all their stuff to the beach. A healthy lunch and lots of fresh water are essential, but is it necessary to bring your inflatable swimming pool? Packing light will make your trip through the loose, unstable sand easier and safer on your ankles, knees, hips, and spine.
DON’T LET YOUR HEALTH TAKE A VACATION | WRITTEN BY DR. EDWARD BARBIERI
You worked hard all year long to enjoy your time “down the shore.” Summer means it’s time to relax, unwind and leave your cares on the Parkway. Beautiful days on LBI’s white-sand beaches followed by pristine sunsets over the bay make forgetting all about your pending responsibilities on Monday a pretty easy task. So easy, in fact, that often our overindulgence on vacation results in a harsh reality when it’s over. The golden bronze tan you had imagined getting turns out to be more of a red lobster, deep burn. Cheeseburgers on the grill, macaroni salad, and the one or two cocktails you may have had each night are now wreaking havoc in your intestinal track. The euphoric feeling of bodysurfing with your kids at the sandbar results in a neck so stiff you need to turn your entire body to pet your dog. Those brand-new beach chairs you scored for this season turn your back into a limp noodle, and the sun-torched sand caused you to turn your ankle in your haste to bolt off the beach for your flip-flops. It’s the sad truth that as soon as a vacation is over, it feels like it’s about time for another one. If you’re interested in playing a part in your health, Dr. Barbieri can be reached at Swell Life Family Chiropractic in Manahawkin or at swelllifechiro.com. Dr. Barbieri and his team are committed to empowering their community to achieve optimal health and live life to its full potential. 158 BAY MAGAZINE SUMMER 2015
HAVE A SEAT While hanging in a slingback chair all day may be relaxing, it is brutal for your back. Upright folding chairs that support your lumbar spine are the way to go; just make sure none of the metal bars put pressure on your legs. If lying on the sand is your thing, just go with the flow. Form the sand to your body, so the parts that need more room have it and structures that need support get it. Lying face-down with your arms under your head for too long will put pressure on the nerves in your neck. That’s why our hands often fall asleep in this position. WATCH YOUR HEAD Some of the worst injuries at the beach happen in the ocean. Lost surfboards and bodyboards are like torpedoes in the shore break, so always be aware of what’s happening around you. Swimming and bodysurfing provide a great form of lowimpact aerobic exercise, but watch out for the sandbar. A head-first collision with the sand will make you forget all about the waves you just caught, literally. Try to time your exit from water with the waves crashing. Sometimes waiting for the waves to break is your best option. Always check with a lifeguard if you are unsure of the conditions or your ability. IT’S A MARATHON, NOT A SPRINT You want to get the most of your short time at the shore. It often becomes overwhelming trying to squeeze every activity from Barnegat Light to Holgate into one day. Put your coffee down, take your time, and enjoy the moment. The Island’s still beautiful in September and October.

Gypsea
THE WANDERING Back in August 2013, I made myself a flower crown with this big, pretty sunflower to wear to one of the Wednesday night summer concerts in Harvey Cedars. By the end of the night I had five orders from friends wanting their own personalized flower crowns.
When I realized how happy something I created with my own two hands made other people, I decided I wanted to turn it into a business. I started off with sea glass I had from my father’s vast collection and my own collection. I was making simple jewelry and flower crowns at first. As my love for crafting grew, I wanted my craftmanship skills to grow as well. About a year 160 BAY MAGAZINE SUMMER 2015
ago, I started taking a metal-smithing class to learn how to set stones and sea glass in silver and other metals. So much has inspired me to start The Wandering Gypsea. Life is constantly inspiring me: a sunset, a perfect wave, a hike in the woods. People such as David Calderra of David’s Dream and Believe and Dani Corso of Volatile, who work so hard and give so much back to our community, also inspire me.
I’ve got a lot coming up in the next couple of months! The LBI Wedding Road Show, new shops I’ll be joining this summer, and The Makers Festival. I’m so excited to be a part of the Creative Council on the Makers Festival—an awesome event at Beach View Farms on September 19th. Check out more at www.thewanderinggypsea.squarespace.com

When I was growing up, my mom had an electric coffee pot. When you added water, the right amount of coffee, and plugged it in…the magic began. At first it would start hissing, then slowly but surely, it would begin to percolate, like coffee with a heartbeat. In the beginning stages of percolating, clear, hot water could be viewed from the glass top, but as the hot water blended with the ground coffee, the liquid inside the top turned to a luscious, golden brown, the perc sounds grew faster and stronger, and soon the irresistible aroma of freshbrewed coffee would begin to waft through her kitchen. Now what does that have to do with Long Beach Island? Well, I’ll tell you. Being one who has been coming to the island since I was in my mother’s womb, the analogy of the coffee pot, and the slow but steady perc, is similar to my first yearnings to 164 BAY MAGAZINE SUMMER 2015
get down the shore after a long, hard-fought winter in Connecticut. My Long Beach Island cravings usually begin “percolating” in January, sometime after the holidays, and within weeks, become as strong as the pull of the riptide, or that fresh-brewed pot of coffee. The urge to swing open the doors to my Long Beach Island house, and smell the knotty-pine paneling, and see things left as they were the season before, grows stronger and stronger, until my “pot’s ready” point by March. Okay, it’s really February, but with frozen pipes in the equation, I really can’t jump the shark and turn the water on until April. I dream of mild winters, but for the past few years that really hasn’t worked out now has it? My inaugural trip down is the necessary one. Getting the house in order. Cleaning up the yard, etc. From that time
Long Beach Island on, the wonderful dance known as “going down the shore” begins, and getting there is half the fun, if you play your cards right. If not, you risk spending valuable daylight, (aka beach time) or priceless nighttime (aka walking Bay Village or enjoying a glass of wine on your porch) to sitting in traffic on the Garden State Parkway, Jersey Turnpike, or Route 72. Based on my casual chats with Long Beach Island summer folk, and being within earshot of many beach conversations, peppered with the usual,“When did you get down? How long are you staying? Did you have any traffic? When are you leaving?” I know for a fact, that everyone has his or her own strategy when it comes to entering and exiting the Island. From the Day-Trippers to the Weekend Warriors,
everyone experiences the joyful anticipation of getting down the shore…and planning their escape…which requires a solid strategy not unlike a military maneuver! For those past battle scars of sitting in traffic are as real as tattoos, imprinted in the memories of all those who have experienced this great phenomenon known as getting on and off the Island! It’s what Long Beach Island folk ultimately talk about from touchdown to take off. Here are some stories I’ve uncovered from hearty souls regarding their journeys to Long Beach Island. Some folks are careful planners, some creatures of habit. But the ones who have the most fun have the courage to throw caution to the wind, flip traffic the bird, and squeeze every second of ‘Island time’ out of their time. The Sand in Your Shoes Monday Morning Marauder: There’s a guy on my Pearl Street Beach who comes down bay-magazine.com 165
DID YOU KNOW?
every Friday night from Philly. He believes all 24 hours of Sunday should be spent on Long Beach Island. He leaves the Island on Monday morning around 5:00 am and gets to his Center City job with time to spare. He told me before he leaves he takes off his shoes and puts his feet in the sand. Feeling the “sand in his shoes” as he sits in meetings puts a smile on his face. Best of all, as a Monday Morning Marauder, he’s just four nights away from getting back on the Island! Great strategy! Just no alcoholic beverages on Sunday night! The Thursday Night Creeper: This is the sojourner who wears his bathing suit under his work clothes on Thursday 'cause he has Friday off! He usually slips out of work a little early, turns off the phone until far enough away not to be summoned back. “My phone was dead. I didn’t get your message until now…” With a little luck, he can zip down, shed the work clothes, and take a ceremonial dip in the ocean, all before sunset, on a Thursday. Hot damn! The Creeper can’t even fathom wasting precious time to put on a bathing suit on. Success belongs to the creeper! The Raritan Bridge Line of Demarcation Long Beach Island Goer: I own this one. Coming from Connecticut, I classify the part of the Parkway before the Raritan as the “business side”—Full of crazy NYC commuters and all the hustle n' bustle that goes with it. Once I get over the bridge, the Parkway turns into the “Shore Side.” I swear the air smells different on the Shore Side. Greenheads appear out of nowhere! Jimmy Buffet songs materialize on Sirius XM! Even the inevitable slowdown around Exit 82, Snookie’s old stomping grounds, is bearable because it’s now ‘shore traffic’ and everybody is going somewhere better from whence they came! I’ll take one for the team to sit in a little shore traffic on the Shore Side of the GSP. I liken it to being in a Union, The Local 63 Long Beach Island. The Late Sunday Nighter (LSN’R): A woman
166 BAY MAGAZINE SUMMER 2015
I know from Central Jersey is a classic LSN’R. She leaves after all the traffic disappears, around 9 pm. While not as brave as the Monday Night Marauder, she really doesn’t have to be, as geography is in her favor! Cruising down the Parkway at 9:30 pm and getting home by 10:30 pm is a bargain. The Early Sunday Morning Pessimist: Sad to say, this was always my parents back in the day. Snakebitten by horrific traffic jams in a past life, they swore they would never ever leave past a certain time on a Sunday morning. They would go to mass, come home by 10am, eat a few cinnamon buns from what used to be Jack’s Bakery in Beach Haven, then they were “outa here.” They never sat in traffic again. The All Windows Down on the Causeway Traditionalist: Generations in my family have participated in this grand entrance to the Island. I did it when I was a kid, and I have continued the tradition with my own kids with every trip over the Causeway. Basically, you open every window and the sunroof, as you travel across the causeway, dangling heads, hands and an occasional foot out the opened windows. We do this no matter what the weather throws at us, from extreme heat or cold, to even an epic Jersey flash storm with raindrops the size miniature golf balls from Shark Island! It’s our ceremonial lap to say “We’ve made it.” However, on the sad trip off the Island, the ceremony is completely optional. My daughter is usually the only romantic soul with one sandy foot hanging out a window, as the rest of us sit in defiant silence on our way back to reality. I’m sure one day my future grandkids will be hanging out of windows going over the causeway. The Squeeze Every Second Day-Tripper: This breed is easy to spot. They’re on the beach by 7 or 8 am, with what seems like more gear than a U.S. Marine has to pack. I see the same Day-Trippers every season,

Day-Tripper dad told me they leave way past the lifeguard’s departure time. You can see them showering off sandy body parts at the Center Street Beach around 7 pm, with vans full of sleeping kids and all those surfboards… Day-Trippers take traffic in stride. Just thinking of all the money they saved on lunch and hotels provides built in self-control in the face of any traffic jam. Based on these salty tales from hearty Long Beach Isand travellers, it’s clear that All Roads Lead to Long Beach Island. And getting on and off the Island is the stuff that dreams are made of.

This past summer when my Poland Spring baked to about 95 degrees, one of the Day-Tripper moms heard me lament about my hot-water bottle. Since Day-Trippers love to get credit for their preparedness, she immediately sprung into action, whipping open one of their four coolers to offer me an “ice cold” bottle of water. I peeked inside the cooler. It was stocked with water, soda, iced-tea, bite-sized melon balls in Ziploc® bags, string cheese, yogurt, sandwiches, ice pops, and more! I asked the Day-Tripper mom where they were from. “Asbury Park,” she said. She told me the group likes the beaches on Long Beach Island the best and forgoes the closer spots so they feel as if they had a real getaway. And yes, even Day-Trippers plan their departure carefully!

SEA SALT SPEAR | WRITTEN BY SCOTT DUNLEAVY | PHOTOGRAPHY BY ANN COEN
| PHOTOGRAPHY BY ANDREW CROFT bay-magazine.com 169
DID YOU KNOW?
Spearfishing has become a fairly popular sport
in the past 10 to 15 years here on Long Beach Island. Most people find this surprising because—although our waters are not always crystal clear like those of Florida or the Caribbean—one would not expect the same out of the turbulent North Atlantic. From time to time however the water clarity off Long Beach Island allows for a brave group to dive into the dark waters and harvest the sea’s bounty.
Spearfishing seems to have increased in popu-
larity since the invention of the Aqualung in 1943 by Emile Gagnan and Jacques-Yves Couseau. This invention made underwater exploration more popular and feasible as a hobby, which increased the amount of diving accessories that were available for purchase. Prior to this, “skin diving” was done largely in the Mediterranean. Now there are more than one hundred companies making such products as fins, weightbelts, dry suits, buoys, and, of course, guns designed specifically for underwater spearfishing. Some people use SCUBA tanks to spearfish but this adds a lot of unnecessary equipment and noisy bubbles that reduce your chances of harvesting larger fish. Most spearfishermen “free dive”, without the help of SCUBA equipment to harvest fish.
For the most part, the wind is the first thing a
spearfisherman checks to decide whether or not to go out. When the wind blows from the east or north, it usually brings in clear, Gulf Stream water that is suitable to dive. All other wind conditions make the water clarity bad. If you can’t see the fish, it is not worth going.
There are many fish species that you can
harvest from the inlets and jetties of LBI. One of those is tog (tautog), also known as blackfish. Tog
170 BAY MAGAZINE SUMMER 2015
spend their days eating the mussels that are attached to rocks or that lie in mussel beds in inlets. Their rich diet gives tog a very distinct and desirable flavor. They’re not often caught off of the surf because they have sharp teeth, strong jaws, small mouths, and can lodge themselves between rocks when hooked. They are very prevalent in Barnegat Inlet and can be found there from late March to December every year.
Another sought-after species is the Striped
Bass or Striper (as seen in the pictures). This large fish migrates every year from the Carolinas up to Massachusetts and back down. Stripers can usually be caught around LBI during the months of May and June and later between September and November. Stripers have a voracious appetite and prey on everything from bunker and juvenile tog to spearing and even sand eels. They often travel in schools and can be seen around jetties during the early and late hours of each day. Since they are so large (between 28 and 40 inches), they can be tricky if not dangerous to spear. You should definitely not shoot one of these until you understand how your spear gun works and you are experienced in the water.
Some other frequently harvested fish include
fluke, trigger fish, and sheep’s head. Fluke are masters of disguise since they lie flat on the sand and have the ability to change their skin’s appearance much like a chameleon. They are great to eat but a challenge to spear. Since they lie flat on the sand, the spear will often times penetrate the fish, but the “flipper” will not engage and the fluke will get away. If you shoot a fluke, you must immediately dive down and push the flipper through the fluke yourself.
Trigger fish are an easier fish to spear because
they don’t seem to be bothered by human presence.
bay-magazine.com 171
DID YOU KNOW?
They come in when a north east wind blows and are somewhat tropical in their appearance. They have tough leathery skin and a powerful beak-like mouth that grinds up mussels with ease. If you shoot one, be sure to keep your fingers clear of their beaks because they will attempt to bite you after you have speared them. You should also filet them cutting from the tail to the head (opposite most other fish) or you will have a much harder time cleaning them.
Spearfishing, like many water sports, can be very dangerous. I would not suggest hopping into
an inlet with no guidance. You should always dive with a buddy, never alone. You should also dive with a regulation-size dive flag and buoy (if you don’t, you are subject to fines). You can purchase one online from trusted sources such as Dixiedivers.com or Diversdirect.com. It is also necessary to carry a knife when diving. You will need this to dispatch the fish you spear and also to cut your way out of fishing line or rope entanglements. Your dive knife can save your life and it should always be worn on the inside of your nondominant calf. It is best to start out by finding someone who spearfishes to show you the ropes. If you do not know anyone, at least start out on smaller submerged jetties away from the strong inlet currents. Again always dive with a buddy and never dive without a buoy and dive flag, because if boaters cannot see you they may run into you as you come up for a breath of air. Once you’re properly equipped and have received some training from an experienced spearfisher, you can enjoy this fun and exciting sport whenever the wind blows your way. Enjoy!

DID YOU KNOW?
W o r k H a r d • P l ay H a r d Seeing a fleet of sailboats darting or cruising the shallow waters of Barnegat Bay makes one think of fun and leisure. If you stop and look closely, you might spot a small sailboat, wide in the body with a mast positioned far forward, a lengthy boom, and a four-sided gaff-rigged sail. You would be looking at a catboat—a uniquely American boat originally described as far back as the late-1700s and whose design has remained virtually unchanged in more than 200 years. The catboat of the 1800s was not an object of leisure or sport, but was used by watermen who worked the bays for their abundant resources. These boats could be seen in the waters along Cape Cod, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, and New Jersey, their popularity reaching a peak around 1880. Sailing the catboat with its shallow draft and single large sail, watermen could navigate the treacherous waters along a bay and haul oysters, scallops, fish, traps, and nets in the cat’s versatile wide beam design. Winslow Homer’s 1876 painting, “Breezing Up,” depicts a catboat hauling in a day’s catch. As railroads were built to bring tourists and sportsmen to South Jersey, the catboat also worked as a ferry to transport visitors to the coastal islands. Summer boat excursions became a source of leisure and the catboat adapted nicely to families seeking the cool bay breezes. Catboat racing is said to have

started around 1900, but probably started decades earlier as watermen sped to get their “catch” to the market as early as possible to obtain the best prices. Early catboat racing was for working watermen and their boats only. Use of the catboat as a working vessel declined with the development of better sailing designs and gas engines, but did continue throughout the early 1900s until WWII. Originally built with local cedar and oak, variations of Jersey catboats include the sneakbox used primarily for duck hunting, garveys, and sea brights. Today’s catboats are primarily built with fiberglass. In 1962, boat builder Breckenridge Marshall built the first fiberglass cat, the Sanderling. The Sanderling dominates the LBI catboat scene and several island yacht clubs have catboat fleets. Harvey Cedars has hosted an annual Labor Day cat-boat race for the past 27 years. How did the name “cat” come about? A few popular theories exist. The two portholes, often seen along the waterline are said to peer out like the eyes of a cat. Some believe the name started when early catboat designer Herbert Crosby is said to have commented “These boats sail quick as a cat.” Regardless of its origin, the name has remained. The catboat continues to work for those who enjoy sailing them—it appears not much has changed over the past 200 years.
