TEN IS TIN RED HEART. RED HOT. The tin man would have come to the right place in search of heart when he opened the pages of RED HOT. It’s what we’ve been about in every issue for ten years of celebrating community—writing love letters disguished as stories and calendars and images of what makes people happy right in their own backyards. Something tin is the traditional 10th anniverary gift and made perfect sense for our cover, along with what the Woodsman and Dorothy always knew… TIN WOODSMAN: What have you learned, Dorothy?

EDITORIAL OFFICES:

DOROTHY: Well, I—I think that if...if I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own back yard. Because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with!

magazine publishing, the masthead is sacred space—that ground where only those can stand who’ve earned a place by giving their time, talents, and commitment to making the publication you hold in your hands the occasion for their best efforts. From this publisher’s perspective, that’s heady stuff, knowing the incredible community of writers, designers, photographers, production pros, sales dynamos and business mavens behind each edition of RED HOT and the thousands of hours of professional muscle it takes to lift off each issue. Our RED HOT 10th anniversary edition is a place, perhaps, to reflect on how far we’ve come, but, really, what counts is how RED HOT stands up in the present moment. In a world where fast and furious is touted as the road to fortune and data flies through the air at warp-speed, how has a good-hearted and beautiful print publication like ours remained relevant? Why are we not only still standing after ten years...but growing?

CLAUDIA

The fact is that the world is a big and fast moving place, but when it comes to their own backyards, people have a warm spot for what feels like home and stories of their hometowns told with truth and heart and understanding. That’s our specialty. It’s what we do best—send love letters out in each issue telling of the good and beautiful reasons to be found for living here in this special corner of Monmouth County.

When RED HOT first made an appearance in the fall of 2003, we started with two issues a year. It went up to three in 2005, then seasonally to four in 2009, and bi-monthly to six in 2011, along with the launch of the full digital version and Facebook presence. It’s always arrived into homes by mail, as well as distributed generously for pick up in the two river area, reaching more than twenty thousand readers every issue. I’ve worked on every RED HOT with my daughter Amanda as the senior art director who assures the design integrity of the whole magazine. Michael has been on the team since the first day as a sales director. Alice, our astrologer, is my sister. Danny and I have worked together for decades. Cort, Eileen, Connie, Susan, Amanda Lynn—we all share a local publishing history that goes back to my founding of The Two River Times newspaper. Tom is our cultural commentator. Debbie, who never wants her picture taken, is the financial rock of RED HOT and happiest behind her computer managing the books. Brett keeps everything flowing as production manager. Bobbie and Paul are on the scene taking pictures. Theresa makes Atlantic Highlands ads look great. And Olivia and Isabelle, our two star interns, allow for faith in the future of the next generation

So here we all are, off the masthead, out in front of the camera, for a rare appearance to wish all of us good times together for many years to come.

TIM HOGAN

RIVERVIEW MEDICAL CENTER

If you ask someone close to Tim Hogan what’s most important to him, they will probably tell you two things, his family and his work. The Hogan Family—Tim, wife Eileen, and four daughters (his oldest recently blessed him with a granddaughter)—have always loved the beach. When not at the beach, you might find Tim gardening or working on their house in Red Bank, which became home some 13 years ago, when a road of executive positions in places like St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, and Cincinnati led the Rochester native to the Jersey Shore. “It’s been really a privilege to live here in Red Bank,” Tim says, “and be a participant in everything that’s going on in the area, both personally and professionally.” As the regional president of Riverview Medical Center and Bayshore Community Hospital, both part of Meridian Health, Tim has been the driving force behind a number of vital new programs and initiatives at Riverview since 2001. And now, since 2010, he brings that same passion and drive to Bayshore. “It is exciting to be able to work with a great and talented group of people,” he says, “including a whole cadre of new specialist physicians who are doing some very, very special work.” Tim’s first 12 years at Riverview have seen the creation of the “New View” project which opened the hospital up to the Navesink River and introduced the Riverview Rehabilitation Center, the K. Hovnanian Pavilion, which includes the Alton A. Hovnanian Emergency Care Center and Critical Care Center, and the Booker Cancer Center, home to the CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery System, a non-invasive cancer treatment. Completed in 2012, in the Blaisdell Pavilion, was a 22,000 square foot Center for Surgical Excellence. All these advances—and the efforts of skilled and caring personnel— have not gone unnoticed. J.D. Power and Associates has proclaimed Riverview “Distinguished” in a variety of patient-service areas, for eight years running. “The awards reflect our commitment to making sure that every patient who comes through our doors has a very positive experience,” says Tim. “I believe that less than one percent of all hospitals nationwide have ever been recognized by J.D. Power for service excellence.” Part of Tim’s hospital work is his involvement with community organizations that include the Count Basie Theatre, The Community YMCA, and Boy Scouts of America/Monmouth Council Boy Scouts. On November 9th, Tim will be honored by the Scouts with the 40th Annual Joshua Huddy Distinguished Citizen Award. “We spend a lot of time cultivating relationships in the community, getting to know people and understanding what their interests are regarding our hospital care,” he explains. “We want to provide the best experience possible. We want to treat you and your loved ones and get you better and get you back out.”

CAROLYNN DIAKON As Carolynn Diakon jokingly tells her agents: “We’re not in the lawn decoration business. Go buy a gnome if you want to decorate people’s lawns.”

RESOURCES REAL ESTATE

But she’s serious about the lawn signs coming off as quickly as possible. It means a successful sale for a client by Resources Real Estate, a firm she started in 2000 that today has offices in Rumson, Red Bank, Monmouth Beach and Atlantic Highlands. “We give honest, good sound advice in terms of pricing—we’re not taking a listing at any cost—so our job is to get the property sold, rather than just getting the next listing,” she explains. “I’m very results based, obviously, because that’s what my clients are hiring me for.” It is a way of doing business that has earned the firm a consistent ranking in the top 5% of realtors throughout Monmouth County. Her way is fundamentally different. For starters, agents work in a very collaborative manner. There’s no cutthroat competition, no drama, Carolynn explains, having experienced both since entering the industry in 1986. If agents happen to be talking to the same prospect, a meeting is held to discuss what’s best for the client and how best to proceed. Unlike most firms, a paid receptionist sits at the front desk, to direct calls to the right person. “I believe that the listing agent is the person who should be handling all inquiries into their listing. And that’s really what I think the client would expect, though that’s not always what they get at other companies, and they may not even be aware.” Born and educated in England—and presently living on a farm in Middletown—Carolynn worked at several high profile firms before going out on her own. “In traditional agencies the bottom line is very, very important, and it is—it’s a business, I get it—but I feel that the client experience should be at the top of the list and not somewhere halfway down,” she maintains. Taking the philosophy a step further, her firm offers clients a concierge service. Airport pickups, limo arrangements. There’s even a company boat—a 36-foot cruiser docked at the Shrewsbury River Yacht Club in Fair Haven. “Pretty unusual,” she allows. In early August, a local newspaper dubbed Carolynn “the most powerful woman in Rumson,” referring to a section of her firm’s web site called “Monmouth Social Calendar,” created to promote causes she deems worthy. Highly regarded as both broker and philanthropist, Carolynn sits on three boards and is involved with numerous committees. “We’re really community based, and get involved with a variety of social events and fundraisers,” she says.

MARGARET MASS In April of 2010, ash from a volcanic eruption in Iceland halted air traffic over Europe, stranding a family from Ireland in Manhattan, where the mother was celebrating her 50th birthday. The visitors couldn’t afford to stay in the city, couldn’t fly home, and had nowhere to go. Someone suggested they come to Red Bank…that it was a friendly town…that they could afford a hotel here. They arrived on the doorstep of the Red Bank Visitors Center, and met Margaret Mass, the Center’s director. Everything changed for the better.

RED BANK VISITORS CENTER

Margaret got the distraught family situated at the Molly Pitcher Inn. The family stayed in Red Bank for a week, using computers at the Visitors Center to stay in touch with family members at home. The Center assisted with train information and a flight out of Boston, not to mention ways to enjoy their temporary town. When the family checked out of the “Molly,” someone else, knowing of their ordeal, had already picked up their tab. “This was a highlight for me,” says Margaret, “because I felt, like, wow! We are really helping these people!” Helping people, though not always in such dramatic fashion, has been the mandate of the Visitors Center since its formation in 2002—it celebrated its 10th anniversary last October—as a spinoff from Red Bank RiverCenter, which was established in 1991 to manage and revitalize the downtown business district. The Visitors Center shares event information and location with RiverCenter while pursuing its own role as borough navigator, “making people feel at home” and assisting them in arranging their plans to stay a day, a week, or forever, according to the Web site, which receives 100,000-plus visits each year. As a destination town, Red Bank plays host to visitors from all over the world—and queries from locals who want to know what’s going on in their own back yard. The non-profit, funded primarily through RiverCenter and a handful of local businesses, is a hands-on operation run by Margaret, a thirty-year borough resident, and backed by volunteers. The Center disseminates plenty of guides and literature relating to local shops, restaurants, and galleries, as well as to the general shore area and county. It also maintains an inventory of useful printed information at the Red Bank Train Station, its first home.

ADAM PHILIPSON

COUNT BASIE THEATRE

An anniversary needs a starting date, which in this case was November 1, 2012—right in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. That’s when Adam Philipson took over as the new CEO of the Count Basie Theatre, having relocated from sunny Santa Clarita, California, just days before the super storm hit. He’s liking the weather here now, despite a cold winter spent in Little Silver where he lives with his wife, Alma, and two young children. “I have sort of fallen in love with this place,” he says of his new surroundings. But Adam he is no stranger to the East. An Englewood, New Jersey, native who grew up in New York City, he moved in 1989 out to LA with his agent—Adam’s impressive 16-year-long professional acting background included Broadway, TV, and feature films—and stayed. By 1995, his career had moved more into producing, theater management, development, and education work with the arts. Before his recent five-year stint as the managing director for the Santa Clarita Performing Arts Center in Valencia, California, he helped launch the $45 million Broad Stage in Santa Monica, where he was the assistant director. Now, with nearly a year under his belt at the helm of the Basie, he has had time, he says, “to get engaged in a community that’s really appreciative of the arts and what the theatre is able to do.” And will do, under his direction. “Rather than feeling that we’re only a roadhouse where great artists are coming to play, I really want to transform the Basie into a major regional center for the arts and education,” he explains, “and move it to the next level.” This effort includes producing more curated series, whether with jazz or film; and the expansion of education and outreach programs, the visual arts, and even the culinary arts like the recent four-day Appetite: A Gastronomic Experience held in September. He wants the community to consider the theater as “the place to go for stimulating conversation, and for a lecture on, say, an issue that’s controversial, or a film where you’re going to get to interact with the director.” Previously a separate function, Adam also serves as the CEO of the Count Basie Theatre Foundation, the Basie’s fundraising arm. The two functions benefit from “programmatic vision,” notes Adam, which is precisely what he brings to the table. “At the end of the day, you’re going to come to the theater as a patron because of what’s here, and you’re going to support it from a philanthropic standpoint because you love the vision of where it’s going and how it’s becoming an engine of change and an economic engine in this community.”

MARY LOUISE van der WILDEN In 2005, Joanne Gordon published her book, “Be Happy at Work: 100 Women Who Love Their Jobs, and Why.” Joining the likes of actress Stockard Channing and broadcast journalist Lesley Stahl, was local retailer extraordinaire, Mary Louise van der Wilden. As proprietor of Le Papillon, the landmark store on River Road in Rumson that features “accessories and separates with savvy,” Mary Louise has certainly earned her bragging rights. The boutique has been around, in various locations, since 1971—who doesn’t recognize the bright yellow butterflies? But she’s too modest to brag and keeps a low profile, one that belies her propensity for non-stop forward motion.

LE PAPILLON

When asked why she likes retailing, Mary Louise didn’t hesitate. “It keeps me moving. I tried piano lessons and can’t stand to sit, but I love dancing. I could never be stuck behind a desk; I’d be a disaster. Retailing changes every day, from unpacking merchandise to shopping for it, to displaying it.” What excites her, too, is when a customer announces she’s going to a function but has no idea what to wear, or how to accessorize. “That always makes me feel good, when they walk out looking great,” says Mary Louise, whose product line—shoes, clothing, home furnishings, accessories—is as worthy as her advice. “One of the girls who works here says ‘pearls of wisdom,’” she laughs. Loyal part-time employees include Kathy Cashes, Lucy Ruggiero, and Dee Dee Despo, who have been with Mary Louise approximately 28, 20, and 15 years respectively. A Princeton native, Mary Louise, after college, lived and worked in New York as a cosmetic and accessories buyer for Bendel’s and Bergdorf Goodman. When she and her husband, Willem, moved to Red Bank around 1969, she stopped commuting and opened a shop in Fair Haven at 771 River Road. She thought Le Papillon (butterflies in French) was a “pretty name and didn’t mean anything specific,” meaning she could sell anything. In 1981, the shop was moved to 774 River Road, across the street from her original location. A job transfer for Willem to Holland (they both relocated, the store run by managers) was followed by his quitting corporate work upon their return to purchase, in 1985, The Brass Horn shop. In 1997 both stores moved to 7 West River Road in Rumson; upon Willem’s passing in 2002, The Brass Horn was integrated into Le Papillon. A friend asked Mary Louise, who’s lived in Fair Haven since 1985, when she was going to retire. “Someone said you’ll know when you find what you’re going to retire to,” she says. Which, she would readily admit, is pleasingly open-ended.

HANK SIEGEL

HAMILTON JEWELERS

A hundred year old company, one that has achieved recognition beyond its own local markets to garner national and international acclaim, does not get that old by doing all the wrong things. “The success we have earned is due to the support of the communities we serve, the outstanding team members we employ, the level of expertise and the service excellence we provide, along with a commitment to our core values and vision, which drive each and every decision we make,” explains Hank Siegel. In 1992, he became president and CEO of Hamilton Jewelers, a company established in 1912 in Trenton, New Jersey, by his grandfather Irving Siegel. When Hank speaks of elements of success—three generations in the making—he could not be more knowledgeable or sincere. Part of the secret is the family-run aspect of the business whose collective client base numbers well into six figures. “The most important distinction for a family business is that it’s personal,” Hank maintains. “There is somebody who cares and is personally vested in the success of the business, in this case our store and our brand.” Everyone at Hamilton leaves the nine-to-five mentality at the door, he says. “We’re ‘on’ all the time,” the we being management and 115 employees in four locations: Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Princeton, and Red Bank. The store at 19 Broad Street celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. The company chose Red Bank because they felt the market was underserved in terms of many of the collections Hamilton produces in-house and represents—and, because the expanding client base in Monmouth County, that frequented the Hamilton shops in Princeton and Palm Beach, kept asking them to open one. “What we especially enjoy about being in Red Bank are the geographically diverse clients, and the diversity in terms of their varied tastes—from tailored and classic, a Hamilton specialty, to fashion forward,” says Hank. Twenty years ago, Hank created Hamilton University, something unique and well regarded in the industry. Offered to employees each year, the on-site program covers everything from company history and philosophy to client communication, service techniques, understanding client lifestyles, and being part of the community. “We believe these things make Hamilton different,” says Hank. “My grandfather taught me at the outset of my career that we can always be more successful by re-investing in our existing communities and markets rather than expanding the number of stores,” he says, noting Hamilton receives attractive offers to open in various locations. “We typically decline. Taking my grandfather’s advice has always proven to be the best.”

IKE BURSTEIN

BLUE STOVE ANTIQUES

The decades Ike Burstein has spent as proprietor of Blue Stove Antiques have done little to diminish the enthusiasm he feels upon opening the Fair Haven shop each day for business. “I can’t think of anything I’d like to do better,” he says. Ike is very good at what he does and is recognized as one of the leading dealers in New Jersey. Blue Stove’s focus, today, is on vintage and antique watches and estate jewelry, though the shop has and continues to deal in all manner of authentic antiques—from the United States and all over the world—and offers jewelry restoration services as well. That Ike enjoys a well-established state and local clientele, the result of customer referrals and much repeat business, should come as no surprise. He’s earned it. Though trained in horology (the science of time, timekeeping, and timekeepers), Ike’s first career, starting in the late 1940s, was in the manufacturing end of the fashion and apparel industry. Fine jewelry, classic timepieces, period furniture, and eclectic heirloom pieces, however, always caught his eye. He and his wife, Myra, were inveterate antiques collectors from the get-go—“seekers,” as Ike puts it, a passion they shared in their early travels. Later on, time and circumstance drew Myra into the antique business, a logical segue that saw the couple launch Blue Stove Antiques on River Road. The year was 1973. Myra ran the shop with help from Ike, who remained in the corporate world until the mid 1980s, when he left to join her full time. They purchased and renovated the building. With their eggs in one basket, they got serious about making the business a success. “We made a very good team, and built it up to what it is today,” says Ike. “Modesty aside, we just know what we are doing and we’re experienced at it, we have good resources in every facet of the business, and the results testify to that.” Myra retired in 2002, leaving Ike at the helm, where he intends to stay. “I have no other plans at the moment, though there may be some in the offing that I’m not aware of,” he jokes.

MAUREEN BAY

GEM OF AN IDEA

During the past 30 years, she’s had young men in her store get down on one knee and propose. She’s been witness to a first Mother's Day present, sweet sixteen gift, 60th wedding anniversary. She’s cut off wedding bands after a divorce; engraved a girl’s first locket from Dad. She’s been present for expressions of love and devotion shared between countless individuals. “I’ve often joked about adding a few more ‘shingles’ to my store sign: marriage counselor, psychologist, matchmaker,” she says. But the sign still reads the same: Gem of an Idea. Think creative, unique, inspiring jewelry designs, along with the classic and timeless. Today, a Fair Haven institution, Gem was launched in 1983 by owner and founder Maureen Bay, a Massachusetts native who fell in love with New Jersey and Bill, the blind date who became her husband in 1971. They met at Monmouth University where she received her degree in art education. Later, armed with another degree, from the Gemological Institute of America, she worked as manager for a jeweler in Shrewsbury. In 1983, she left with an employee to open Gem of an Idea in an old Victorian on River Road. Six years later, Maureen bought out her partner and moved down the street to Fair Haven Commons, where Gem remains today. “Thirty years, wow! Well, don't expect me to say, ‘Where did they all go?’ I know exactly where they went!” says Maureen with a grin. “Thirty years of creating and selling and fixing ... phew! Makes my head spin! Even if I averaged ten sales a day (thankfully conservative), that's almost one-hundred thousand jewelry gems going out the door! I don't feel so bad now when a client asks, ‘Do you remember when you sold me that great necklace?’ My eyes usually glaze over and I offer a meek, ‘Oh yes! How could I forget?’" Maureen is slowing down a bit. She and Bill occasionally escape to their place in North Carolina, leaving the shop in the able hands of seven loyal employees. And the couple still rides their Harleys—they have five (as Maureen says of Bill, now retired: “He likes to turn a wrench”). One motorcycle is a 1967 model with an attached 1939 Goulding sidecar. Bill drives with Maureen alongside holding Scooter, an English Bull Terrier and Spuds McKenzie lookalike. “We do turn a few heads,” says Maureen. What’s the secret to 30 years of success? “I begin each day at my store with great intentions and high expectations,” Maureen explains. “Each day is a surprise, an education, and an experience waiting to happen—and I love it!”

KATHY KARLEN DONNELLY Why Beauregard? Kathy Karlen Donnelly explains that she fell in love with art on a 1978 high school trip to Paris. In homage to this experience she gave her fine art gallery, now celebrating it’s 12th anniversary, a French name that symbolizes what she feels is one of the most important attributes of art—beauregard—beautiful to look at. With a focus primarily on contemporary American art, ranging from established names to emerging artists, the works at Rumson’s Beauregard Gallery embody this sensibility.

BEAUREGARD FINE ART

After receiving her MBA from Northeastern, Kathy launched her career as a financial consultant basing herself in London. She explains that while she worked in finance, her heart belonged to art. “Something I always took solace in was that every lunch hour I’d go to various museums. So even though I was making my living in finance, I remained passionate about art”. In 2000, Kathy moved to Rumson and, while raising two young children, started hosting shows at home, initially selling her sister artist Megan Karlen’s work and soon, the works of other artists. She recalls “Everybody kept saying, you ought to open a gallery!” On October 27, 2001 that’s just what she did. Her first show featured artists from Wellfleet—an art mecca on Cape Cod—where Kathy has visited every summer for the past five decades. Among the painters who’ve been shown on Beauregard’s walls include students of Hans Hofman, the German-born American painter who brought Abstract Expressionism to the United States in the 1950’s, and Tobi Kahn, renowned New York-based painter and sculptor of abstract, biomorphic forms. Unlike the typical traditional gallery owner, Kathy enjoys meeting clients at their homes. She explains “We find that it can be daunting to look at the art in a traditional gallery setting, so at Beauregard, we bring the art to you. We hang it in your home on a trial basis, and we install it when the work works. Our goal is to marry beautiful pieces of art with a client’s lifestyle and tastes.” When describing her passion for pairing clients with suitable art she says that her searches take her even beyond Beauregard Gallery’s inventory, “I’ve even sold the paintings of artists that I have never shown in the gallery”. This having been said, Kathy is always on the lookout for emerging artists and maintains a wide-ranging inventory including paintings by artists working in different styles and in different phases of their careers. And as Beauregard Gallery’s offerings expand, the client list has been expanding to not only include the local community, but also collectors nationwide.

AVRA KARAK

MONMOUTH ST. TILE

It all starts with a first impression. “It’s that friendly smile when someone walks through the door…I believe that’s key to any business,” says Avra Karak. As owner of Monmouth St. Tile, whose 15th anniversary is in November, she clearly has made good—and lasting—impressions. And then there is her ability to produce consistently good results. Avra and her staff truly care about each and every client. “We work very closely with our clients in hopes of bringing out their own personal style,” she says. “Our excitement when we find the perfect tile trickles down to the client.” Monmouth St. Tile offers a unique selection of exquisite stones, glass, porcelain, along with beautiful handmade artisan tiles. “We pride ourselves,” says Avra, “in that we’re able to bring these exclusive lines to Red Bank.” Avra worked in the fashion industry for many ears. When an opportunity came up to open a tile showroom in Red Bank, she decided to combine her background in fashion and her love for home decorating. Monmouth St. Tile opened in 1997 and by 2005, she had opened a second location in Sea Girt. Over the years, as the business grew, so did the need to expand to her expectations of bringing in a refine selection of tiles which led to a premier line called Country Floors. “We realize that trends shift every 5 to 15 years,” she explains. Right now clients seem to gravitate to a cleaner look. Honed stones and large scale porcelains, along with glass mosaics, seem to be a popular trend. When you come into one of Monmouth St. Tiles’ two locations, you’re immediately taken by the vast selection, from traditional old world tiles to a more sleek contemporary look. More than that, you will find Avra and her sales staff to be very welcoming and dedicated to helping their clients needs, from start to finish.

BOB SICKLES

SICKLES MARKET

“I have customers who remember shopping here before I was born,” says Bob Sickles. “And they remind me of it,” he jokes. As the third-generation owner of Sickles Market, in Little Silver, Bob often runs into others who patronized the market when his parents ran it, and his grandparents before them, dating back to 1908 when the market was a farm selling fruits and vegetables to local stores. Today, Sickles Market sells to the public: produce, plants, gourmet foods, garden accessories, gifts…you name it. There’s a burgeoning online enterprise, even a touring operation. “I’m fortunate enough to have been passed along a great business from my parents, and so I had raw material to work with,” he says. “I’m looking forward to my daughter, and maybe my other kids, doing the same thing alongside what is a very solid group of employees, many of whom have been here a long time.” Bob’s daughter, Tori, is gainfully employed at Sickles. Make that generation number four. Bob was 12 when he started working in his family’s business part time. He joined full time in 1978, armed with a degree in ornamental horticulture from the University of Vermont. Then, the family had a partner, three full-time employees, and a crew of seasonal workers. They were open from the end of March to the end of October. Ironically, a fire in 1983, which destroyed the original building, sent the business on a rapid growth track. “We consolidated after the fire and built a bigger building, and two years later we expanded it again,” says Bob. In 1998, everything changed. It was a milestone precipitated by the hiring, in 1995, of a garden center consultant who recommended creating a year-round garden center. “He thought I’d go out of the food business, but I liked them both and stayed with it,” says Bob. By that time “you had to be open all year in order to not kill yourself.” So they expanded further and winterized the market, adding new departments (“A bit of cheese, a bit of bakery,” Bob says). They built a new state-of-the-art greenhouse. These measures attracted customers, and better employees, the latter, Bob maintains, being “the key to good, solid growth.” Since then, all areas of the operation have broadened yet again. (They’ve added a butcher and a new Mozzarella Maker, “Junior” Mazzarella, who is making handmade fresh mozzarella daily). But what Bob would really like Sickles Market to become is a full service specialty store. “In which case we’d also have seafood,” he explains. “That’s a twinkle in our eye for the future,” he adds, with a twinkle in his eye.

CHRISTINE SHEA

SOLARI CREATIVE

They share an affinity for the Jersey Shore. Christine Shea, a Middletown native, now in Little Silver; Jeanine Swierkocki, from and still in Manasquan; and Michael Burke, who lives in Ocean. They share a friendship. And a business. The three have worked together since 1997, but did not make it their day job until they incorporated in 2003. “It’s because we all have different strengths that the company has worked so well,” explains Christine, who serves as president of Red Bank-based Solari Creative, where Jeanine and Michael are VPs. “We all bring something different to the table.” A full service design studio, Solari Creative offers to its diverse client roster everything from identity and print design, interactive and web solutions, to animation and video. Today, the company—there are upwards of 26 designers— is split, with Mike leading the effort in Maryland, where Solari’s earliest and biggest client, Fort Monmouth, relocated to the Aberdeen Proving Grounds after closing its gates in Eatontown in 2011. Christine and Jeanine handle commercial clients that include local favorites like Spark Marketing, Femme by Ashley and Pier Village, as well as several corporate accounts in the pharmaceutical, technology and medical industries. Christine met Jeanine and Mike a year after graduating from Trenton State College (now The College of New Jersey), in 1995, with a degree in fine arts and a concentration in communication art. The three worked for two companies under contract with the Fort. It wasn’t long before they joined forces to work at night on their own commercial projects (the Keansburg Amusement Park was one of their first clients). Meanwhile, Fort Monmouth came to depend upon the trio to the degree that they helped them form their own company—“So they could work directly with a firm specializing in design with knowledge in the army community,” Christine explains. They launched officially in 2003, and in 2011 moved from offices near Fort Monmouth to their present home on Front Street in Red Bank. One of Christine’s passions is working with small businesses, especially those who assume they can’t afford a professional to help them, as well as women owned and run businesses. “We created these small-business packages for start-up companies, and offer discounted rates,” she notes. “I got such a boost when we started our company, when we had benefactors, people who believed in and helped us. I feel beholden to pay it forward.” In naming the company, they wanted something “that wasn’t literal about design, or our initials, and that meant something to all of us,” says Christine. “What pulls us together? The shore, growing up here, being at the beach, the sun.” She had this Italian-English dictionary on her desk one day…Solari. Of the sun, by the sun, the three of them together.

A WRITER’S TAL O

n a rainy day last October, I signed a contract to write a book for Arcadia Publishing Company titled Legendary Locals of Red Bank. And so, as post-Tropical Cyclone Sandy—herself a now legendary local—came and went, I began my travels back into the past. As the skies cleared and the new year began, I sought out the stories of present day Red Bankers. They gave me the gift of seeing this town on the river from many perspectives. Red Bank isn’t one story, but a multitude of tales, each one borne by an individual whose experience here was tinged by the times, by culture, by color, by custom, by faith. We tend to think of history as something that happens somewhere else—somewhere important and far away. But every lifetime provides reminders that history isn’t something we’re separate from. History happens everywhere. History happens here. Sometimes it’s an event the world remembers, like World War II. Sometimes it’s a smaller thing: a family birth or death; the loss of a love or the achievement of a longed for goal. In the middle are the things we share in community, as members of a tribe: a neighborhood; a group with binding ties; a town. And so I undertook the formidable task of finding the folks who made history in Red Bank. It didn’t take long to realize that history is something we all make; something that happens every day; something that is made by people whose impact may be so subtle that it works its quiet magic on one person, or a few people. Sometimes, history is the sound of an oboe drifting from an open window. Sometimes history is a brass band, marching boldly down the street.

And so, inspired by a few photographs I’d found in the archives, I began to think of my Legendary Locals as if we’d organized a picnic for some time-defying Fourth of July. They came in military uniforms and in boater hats. They came in butcher’s aprons and party gowns. They came with smiles on their faces, and with the serious frowns of men with weighty matters on their mind.

LEGENDARY LOCALS OF RED BANK In its early years, Red Bank was a place where Sigmund Eisner, a Jewish immigrant from Austria, could arrive with empty hands and build a manufacturing empire that served the nation. It is a place where families like the Irwins could make a home for generations: Captain Edward Irwin started his marine business by the side of Red Bank’s Navesink River in 1884, and his greatgrandson Channing still runs the family marina by the water. It is the place where Thomas Edison experimented with sonar, and where the Dorn family launched a photographic dynasty that has chronicled the life of the community for more than a century. It is a place where a family of black physicians earned an enduring place in the hearts of Red Bankers by caring for its citizens, both black and white, with skill and kindness. Red Bank a place where Bruce Springsteen could start off playing at high school dances and end up in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. These are only a few of the legendary locals of Red Bank.

But whatever it is, however it appears, history is people. History is us. And so as I stepped back into the past through the pages of the Red Bank Register newspaper whose dates traveled back into the 1870s, through the archives of the Red Bank Public Library with the help of local history librarian Elizabeth McDermott, I looked for the people whose lives in Red Bank deserved to be remembered. Some of the names and stories were familiar ones. Others were stories of people I never knew. I knew that what I wrote couldn’t be a chronology. It couldn’t be a parade.

They came as human beings, to sit at the picnic table of my book with folks who had come before and after them, with Indians and schooner captains, rock stars and restaurateurs. And so I began to tell their stories, seeing in the telling how way led unto way, how this little town began to grow on the shores of the Navesink. Choices and decisions. Roads taken and roads not. Folks who came here to make their way and stayed. Folks born here who went away to make an impact elsewhere. Separate origins; separate identities; separate destinies.

Together, they made history. Together, they made a town called Red Bank.

Author Eileen Moon has written about Red Bank for more than a quarter century as a reporter, feature writer, and editor for the New York Times, Daily Register, Asbury Park Press, Two River Times, and many other publications. Her book, Legendary Locals of Red Bank, is scheduled for publication in early 2014.

ALE

The History of a History by EILEEN MOON

WILLIAM 'THE COUNT' BASIE The world’s most famous Master of Swing first fell in love with music in his hometown of Red Bank. Born on August 21, 1904, Basie’s grew up on Mechanic Street, the only child of Lillian Ann Childs Basie and Harvey Basie. His mother played the piano. His father played the Mellophone. Though his first love was the drums, Basie took piano lessons from his mother, and from then on, his path was pretty much set. He honed his skills playing as an accompanist for movies and vaudeville acts, but it wasn't long before he was playing in big bands, and ultimately, leading his own. By his teens, he was traveling in to Harlem, where his musical education was enhanced by his friendship with famous jazz pianist, composer and organist Fats Waller. Eventually Basie's fame as a musician and composer made him a household name and one of the foremost bandleaders of the jazz era.

DAN DORN Daniel Dubouchet Dorn (left) and his son, Daniel Whitfield Dorn, are legends in the annals of local photography. From running projectors at local movie houses in the first decades of the 20th century, the Dorns branched out into film and still photography, making a living in news and advertising while recording both historic and seemingly unremarkable events in Red Bank and around Monmouth County. Together, they were responsible for recording and preserving thousands of images of life in Red Bank over the 20th Century. In 1937, Dan W. Dorn opened Dorn's Photo Shop on Wallace Street in Red Bank at a time when photography was moving rapidly into the mainstream. A young Hilda West was employed in the shop until she took on a far more challenging job as the wife of Dan Dorn and mother of their four children. Dan W. Dorn's son, Dan, took over the business in 1972 while his daughter, Kathy Dorn, took charge of the classic photography end of the business. While Dorn's Photo Shop didn't survive the digital revolution—the store closed its doors in 2005—the family business carries on in the capable hands of Kathy Dorn Severini and her husband, George Severini, who are the proprietors of Dorn's Classic Images, which specializes in restorations and reproductions of historic photographs.

KATHARINE ELKUS WHITE When Katharine Elkus White ran for a seat on the Borough Council of Red Bank, in 1933, her opponent, Stanley O. Wilkins, staged a “Keep Katie in the kitchen,” campaign. She lost by 14 votes. But Katie was still cooking. During the Depression, Mrs. White ran a vegetable canning project at River Street School to help feed needy neighbors. During World War II, she chaired the Red Bank War Bond Committee. (She is pictured third from left, above, standing next to the table with the seated woman in uniform.) In 1951, she was elected as the first female mayor of Red Bank—an office she would hold through five more years and two more elections. In 1955, she became the first women in the United States to head a toll road authority when she was named chair of the New Jersey Highway Authority. In 1964, President Lyndon Johnson appointed her as ambassador to Denmark.

POETRY AND PASSION IN A PICTURESQUE SETTING

Gregg Glory (Gregglory.com)

s Gregg G. Brown is all too ready to acknowledge, “poets, like musicians are a little bit crazy.”

A prolific published poet in his own right, the Cliffwood resident (a.k.a. Gregg Glory) knows the breed very well indeed—as an award winning “Poet Laureate of the Jersey Shore,” as owner of his own indie publishing imprint Blast Press, and as one of the organizers of River Read, a monthly series of poetry events that resumes in September at Red Bank’s Eisner Memorial Library. Scheduled for Saturday, September 21, 2:30-4pm, and then, regularly, at 2:30pm on the second Saturday of all but the summer months, the River Read series brings together many of the Garden State’s most notable poets with a “dedicated listening community” of people who, as opposed to some of the more spirited coffeehouse “slam” competitions, “really show up here to listen, to pay attention to the nuance… they’re people who are serious about language.”

home run

For the upcoming fifth season of River Read events, Brown has teamed up once again with Linda Johnston Muhlhausen, a poet, playwright and journalist he describes as “a superstar…she’s the ligature, the cartilage that holds the bones together.” The co-hosts carry on a legacy begun under the stewardship of poet (and merchant marine) John Petrolino, who founded the series in 2009 at Red Bank’s now-closed Frank Talk Art Bistro with the help of proprietor Gilda Rogers. Since then the River Read events have come ashore at venues ranging from No Joe’s and the Dublin House to Manhattan Bagel, before putting into harbor upstairs at the at the invitation of Adult Services Librarian Jane Eigenrauch. Past participants have included such prominent New Jersey wordsmiths as B.J. Ward, Peter Murphy, Michael Waters and Mihaela Moscaliuc of Monmouth University, and Dr. Gabor Barabas of New Jersey Repertory Company. The slate of events for Fall 2013 kicks off on September 21, with a special dramatic reading of “Mick: A Celestial Drama” by featured poet Jim Kelleher. The drama in verse will be followed by an open reading, at which “attendees can read their own work, if they wish, in a supportive and welcoming atmosphere.” “There’s so much exciting creative work going on in our community that I would never have known about without the series,” says Muhlhausen, adding that “we’re enjoying a wonderful space upstairs at the Library.”

“We have relaxed discussions afterward; people meet up at the bagel shop or a nearby bar,” adds Brown. “And we get to look at the beautiful Navesink while we listen to the words.”

EISNER MEMORIAL LIBRARY 84 W. FRONT ST. lmxac.org/redbank

Jim Kelleher teaches literature and composition at Northwestern Community College in Winsted, Connecticut, works in a group home to support three handicapped men, and is also a self-employed carpentry contractor. He earned an MFA degree from New England College in 2007. In former lives, he was a teacher in the Boston public schools, caretaker for a summer camp, and Fillmore East usher.

(The Bleachers, marked by a sign overhead and a wood bench. Props: a bat, a ball, a Pepsi sign. Mick speaks.) When I was sixteen I could slam a fastball over the Pepsi sign. Today I can’t lift a Louisville Slugger. I want to forget. I want to forget all of it. What I see when I drink is a baseball spinning — the red seams on the ball. I see myself smashing it deep. I see my team, Billy Martin swearin’. Get me a whiskey and beer chaser, get me a boilermaker. Just get me a drink. I can’t hit shit.

THE DANISH CAFÉ REAL DANISH

by OLIVIA IANNONE

When Denmark natives Lone and Claudi Kofod returned to New Jersey after a recent trip to their native land, they weren’t just “going back” to America. The owners of The Danish Café in The Red Bank Galleria felt like they were coming home.

Their cozy café here celebrated its first anniversary in July. “You have to follow your dreams,” explains Claudi as to why he and Lone applied for a visa to open a business in the United States. Once granted in April 2012, the Kofods left Boenholm, an island south of Sweden where they owned and ran a successful hotel, to build a new life and business thousands of miles away.

“We’ve learned a lot,” exclaims Lone—from how to find the best food suppliers to accounting for the differences between the Danish and American food experiences. The Kofods have made an effort to provide their customers with what they expect—such as larger-sized coffee cups than those used in Denmark—as well as culinary delights that are uniquely Danish and, often, unfamiliar. For instance, Danish-style open-faced sandwiches are served on rye bread that is much denser and more flavorful than usually found in America. And, the homemade Danish pastries— baked fresh daily—are lighter and flakier than their American counterparts. One of the very few local establishments that serves authentic Scandinavian food and atmosphere, the café has attracted members of the local Scandinavian community, as well as regular commuters, shoppers, business people, professionals—in short, any one looking for a wonderfully unique yet warmly familiar European café experience. “It’s good that people come again and again. Then we know what we’re doing is right,” said Claudi. “In Denmark, we do not go out and say ‘we are the best.’ We say, ‘we are good, but we will get there.’”

Claudi & Lone Kofod

For the Kofods, “getting there” has a definite date of April 2014 when their visa expires and a determination will be made whether it can be renewed and The Danish Café can continue to serve up its warm hospitality and delicious Danish fare (Mon–Fri 8am-5pm; Sat–Sun 9am-5pm). According to Claudi, one thing is certain, for sure: “We know we are where we want to be.”

HALLOWEEN FALL FESTIVAL & ZOMBIE BLOCK PARTY October 19 1-5pm | Veteran’s Park/1st Avenue, AH

HAUNTED HOUSE TOURS October 25-26 6-9pm | Strauss Mansion/27 Prospect Circle, AH Anything conjured up by an entity called the Atlantic Frightlands Committee can’t be anything less than a whole lot of spooky, scared-stiff fun. Resident Jon Crowley is the Dr. Frankenstein of the committee he started that includes Mike Boylan, Robert O’Connor, Meredith Peltz, Sherilyn Przelomski, and Corinna Thuss. “We’re passionate about fostering a sense of community,” says Jon, adding, “It also doesn’t hurt that we all enjoy the Halloween holiday and feel families would enjoy a fun day in the park and a night at an imaginative haunted house.” With that in mind, they have put together an old-fashioned Halloween Fall Festival & Block Party in Atlantic Highlands Veteran Park on October 19 followed the next weekend by the Atlantic Highlands Historical Society haunted house tour in one of the town’s oldest Victorian houses—the Strauss Mansion, with proceeds from donations and a 50/50 raffle going to benefit the Atlantic Highland’s Arts Council and Atlantic Highlands Historical Society. According to Jon, the Halloween Festival has everything from live music, kids movie, Tarot card readings, and costume contest to a First Avenue scavenger hunt, pumpkin carving contest, and a side show act—not to mention a full-on Zombie block party. Meanwhile, a team of writers, actors, designers, and special effects wizards are haunting the historic Strauss Mansion for chiller house tours the following Friday and Saturday evenings.

“It's just a jump to the left, and then a step to the right. Put your hands on your hips; and bend your knees in tight ...” Yes, The Rocky Horror Picture Show is coming to town! Its own time warp (to the uninitiated, “The Time Warp” is the quintessential sing-a-long of the show), the cult classic is the longest-running midnight movie ever…the ultimate interactive film experience that’s played in movie houses around the world at midnight since 1973. Now, it arrives at Atlantic Cinemas, midnight, September 7 to set the stage for the Frightland festivities. Tim Curry as the kinky yet endearing transsexual from Rocky Horror Transylvania…Susan Sarandon and Barry Picture Show Bostwick as his hapless guests…Richard O’Brien as the hunchbacked butler Riff Raff— they’ll all be there on the big screen, along with fans and newcomers out for the fun and silliness that has filled theaters for decades. And in true Atlantic Highlands hospitality style, Memphis Pig Out, across from the theater, is staying open for a late late night chow-down buffet ($22 per person) after the show.

It’s just jump across First and then some steps to the right. Put your hand on a fork; and take a big bite…

Bettina May strikes a pose, above; and works her styling magic, here.

“I have lots of tricks under my shimmy belt to share,” says Bettina May, an internationally touring burlesque performer, pin-up model, and photographer.

According to shop owner Meredith Peltz, Bettina gives “easy stepby-step instructions for retro-inspired but glamorous, long-wearing make-up designed to keep your look fresh through any Halloween pub crawl or Zombie walk.” Hair and makeup demo ($50).

THE

FLU AND YOU

What Everyone Needs to Know to Stay Healthy This Season

by CAITLIN COYLE for Riverview Medical Center

he weather is cooler and fall is here, bringing pumpkin-spiced lattes, football, trick-or-treating, and...the beginning of flu season. The flu is not something to take lightly; approximately five to twenty percent of people in the United States catch the flu each year. Family medicine physicians Glenda Albizu, M.D. and Jessy Joykutty, M.D. provide important information about how to keep healthy this season.

“The flu virus is generally passed from person to person by airborne transmission, such as sneezing or coughing,” says Dr. Albizu. “It is important to remember, like any other infection, the flu virus can live for a short time on objects. So, if someone infected with the virus touches a doorknob, pen, keyboard, or other common household or workplace object, someone else who then touches that object is now susceptible to catching the virus.” The flu can affect people of any age. While most people will only suffer for a couple of days, it could lead to more serious conditions such as pneumonia, hospitalization, or even death. Everyone experiences symptoms differently. The most common signs include high fever, headache, runny or stuffy nose, coughing that may become severe, aches and pains, and fatigue or severe exhaustion. “Symptoms of the flu often resemble the common cold, but they are two different illnesses,” says Dr. Albizu. “It is important to always consult your doctor at the onset of any symptoms so you may begin proper treatment.”

Don’t fall to the flu! Get your flu shot.

But rather than waiting for the flu to strike and then seeking treatment, both Drs. Albizu and Joykutty recommend taking proactive steps to prevent the infection all together. “There are healthy habits you could adopt to help avoid the flu such as frequent hand washing, not recycling used tissues, and avoiding contact with anyone who is sick,” says Dr. Joykutty. “The best prevention, however, is the flu vaccine.”

Call 1-800-DOCTORS for dates and locations of Flu Clinics near you.

New vaccines are introduced every September and it is recommended that everyone six months of age and older should get vaccinated. Certain groups of people are at higher-risk, such as senior citizens, children, pregnant women, and people working in or exposed to health care environments. Some may be advised against the vaccine due to underlying medical conditions or allergies. “My recommendation is to always talk to your physician, says Dr. Joykutty. “Together, you and your doctor will be able to determine the best vaccine and timing to help you prevent the flu.”

ASTROLOGY 101:

WHAT’S YOUR SIGN?

by ALICE LOFFREDO

t’s the stuff of TV sitcoms and 30-something romantic comedies, never mind trite pick-up lines, but believe it or not, “What’s your sign?” is a question that has solid astrological bones. To see what I mean, we have to learn something about a symbol in the birth chart called the Ascendant, or Rising Sign*. At the moment of your birth, no matter what the actual clock time may be, one of the twelve signs of the zodiac is dawning—or rising—at the eastern horizon line. Think of it as a panel of stained glass of one of twelve “colors” that stands between you and everything and everyone that is NOT you. Like a cathedral window, the Ascendant filters your energetic light out into the world. It also colors the light of the outside world as it shines in on you, affecting how you take in the environment and the experiences and people you encounter along life’s way.

Intelligent. Analytical. Detail-oriented. Hard-working. Methodical. Helpful.

LIBRA Sociable. Diplomatic. Peace-loving. Romantic. Cooperative. Artistic.

SCORPIO Intense. Probing. Powerful. Determined. Passionate. Courageous. Introspective.

SAGITTARIUS Adventurous. Freedom-loving. Optimistic. Non-judgmental. Straight-forward.

CAPRICORN Ambitious. Hard-working. Responsible. Determined. Conventional. In control.

AQUARIUS Brilliant. Intellectual. Original.

The Rising Sign is sometimes called a mask, because it describes your social, public persona—how you present yourself in new, or relatively impersonal, or, importantly, uncertain or threatening situations. At these times, the energy of the Ascendant as an interface helps you maximize your own comfort and security and minimize vulnerability. But the Rising Sign is absolutely not something external or artificial that you invoke when needed. Rather, it’s an important, totally integrated component of the energetic palette of possibility that is represented by your own unique birth chart. Sometimes the qualities of the Ascendant are very similar to the most prominent themes in the rest of the chart. For example, Sagittarius is as outgoing, gregarious, generous and optimistic as the sign of Leo, differing in details like that Sag is more flexible and less inclined to seek leadership roles than Leo, while Leo energy is more comfortable with attention and less inclined to be as on the move as Sag. So if you meet someone with a Sagittarius Rising Sign and a Leo Sun, you’ll find that your initial impression will be quite consistent with your experience of that person as the relationship grows. Other times, the Ascendant is very different from the basic nature of the individual. Staying with our Sag rising example, that outgoing, energetic approach to life can be fronting for a sensitive, inward-turned, slower-moving water sign like Cancer or Pisces.

Independent. Non-judgmental. Humane.

PISCES Introspective. Sensitive. Compassionate. Intuitive. Visionary. Creative. Spiritual.

This is why, if you have just a little knowledge of the qualities of each astrological sign, What’s your sign?, combined with your initial impression of an individual, can double-up your understanding of what a person is really like. As for me—I’m Libra Ascendant with a Gemini Sun. What’s your sign? * To identify your Ascendant, you will need the DATE, TIME, and PLACE of birth. Many websites offer free astrological charts. Look for the sign near the line between sections (Houses) 1 and 12.

A DELICIOUS

JOURNEY

RH5_13_PGS50_56_Layout 1 8/29/13 12:05 PM Page 51

by KAREN L. SCHNITZSPAHN

hen city dwelling tourists first came to the New Jersey coast, they endured bumpy rides in oyster wagons or stagecoaches. In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, vacationers stayed at rustic boarding houses and fished for their dinner. Native Americans had already discovered the plentiful seafood as well as wild berries and succulent plants. But these original people and the hearty visitors gradually diminished. As transportation improved, life at the shore would change. By the mid-nineteenth century, shrewd entrepreneurs realized the value of developing the Jersey Shore. Steamboats and railroads soon brought hoards of summer sojourners to enjoy the healthy salt air, sea bathing, and the fresh foods! Big hotels opened, first in Cape May and Long Branch, and eventually at all the resort towns. Multicourse formal meals served in massive dining halls featured elegant French cuisine, fresh baked breads, pastries, and fine wines. The only comparable experience today might be binge eating on luxury cruise ships. My interest in our food history began with research about the Victorian hotels. George H. Moss Jr., distinguished author and historian from Rumson, was my friend and mentor. I coauthored two books with him. He often talked about how food represented one of the biggest attractions of the Jersey Shore. He knew this firsthand because his family owned hotels at Long Branch and Sea Bright. George passed away in 2009 and never got to see my latest work, Jersey Shore Food History: Victorian Feasts to Boardwalk Treats (The History Press, 2012), but I dedicated it to him and I think he would be pleased.

Karen Schnitzspahn (below, with grandkids) is the author or coauthor of nine regional New Jersey books as well as two commemorative volumes and numerous articles. She's been the recipient of awards such as the 2007 Jane G. Clayton Award for "her outstanding efforts to preserve the history of Monmouth County." Her varied interests include the history of the American theater and nineteenthcentury photography. For many years, Karen worked as a professional puppeteer and designed educational children's programs.

the nineteenth century and into the early twentieth century before it was depleted. With the current revival of interest in local and organic produce, I didn’t forget the luscious fruits and vegetables that have long been part of our shore history. My chapter on farming includes cranberries, blueberries, corn, tomatoes and more. Shrewsbury was once home to Hazard’s famous ketchup factory and Sickles, formerly a historic Little Silver farm with a simple produce stand, is a thriving upscale Jersey Shore Food History is available from all major market place today. booksellers (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc.) and at River Road Books in Fair Haven, and Scroll & Pen at Brookdale. With the rise of the automobile, even more people frequented the seashore and roadside diners and driveins popped up everywhere. Eating became more casual. “Hand held” foods that gained recognition during prohibition and The Depression became wildly popular after WWII. Hot dogs, pizza, subs, pork roll, salt water taffy (an Atlantic City innovation), fudge, ice cream, and myriad boardwalk treats are associated with the Jersey Shore (Yes, of course, I did need to sample them!)

Writing this book proved to be an awesome task as there are so many diverse foods and restaurants. I focused on the years just after the Civil War up to the 1960s and sifted through vintage recipes. (A variety of them appear throughout the book.) Although it was demanding work, I must admit…it was great fun. My husband and I took a self-guided “food tour” along the Jersey coast. Though we’ve lived in Little Silver over forty years, we discovered how much there is to explore and eateries we had never even heard of. Some of the iconic seafood restaurants we experienced as kids are long gone, such as Hackney’s and Captain Starn’s in Atlantic City. Others are still in business such as Bahrs Landing in Highlands, run by the same family since its founding in 1917. Today’s Salt Creek Grille in Rumson is an interesting site where previous establishments stood near a steamboat dock and oysters were Opposite, from top: Sickles vintage farm stand; abundant.

In 2012, Superstorm Sandy damaged or shut down some shore eateries, but many have worked hard to reopen, so please support them. While you enjoy tasting, think of our remarkable culinary history. And new places are opening all the time…the journey never ends!
