"In a matter of weeks with the modern techniques for improving physiques
They have altered their beaks and they've lifted their cheeks

Phyllis London
When your family is made up of long established boat designers and builders, it would seem obvious that this fact would impact your life. Phyllis C. London’s paintings are indicative of that influence in her use of light, shadow, color and composition.
Her formal art training included studying with Mert Howe and well-known painter Zolton Szabo. Her images capture the power of nature, and her work has appeared in Atlantic City Magazine, Surfer Magazine, Hobie Hotline, as a staff illustrator for the Sands Hotel & Casino, and the for the Trump organization.
Phyllis London’s work may be seen at the Accent Gallery, 956 Asbury Avenue, Ocean City, New Jersey, as well as at William Ris Gallery, 9400 Second Avenue, Stone Harbor, New Jersey.
Print copies of Phyllis London’s painting are made with a process known as Giclee Print. Giclee (ghee-clay) is French for “to spray,” and in the process individual colors are sprayed on the surface at a rate of millions of droplets per second. Because screens aren’t used, her prints have a higher resolution thanlithographs.
To see a comprehensive selection of Phyllis London’s work go online to www.phyllislondon.com and click on “Paintings.” Discover an extraordinary range of themes and subjects by this marvelous artist.

Point Pleasant Beach
Originally a seashore retreat for the Leni Lenape tribe of Native Americans, the area was discovered by Henry Hudson and his crew September 2, 1609 while they were on their way north to explore the Hudson River.
Settlers arrived in the 1700’s, and summer tourism began in the early 1800’s when Thomas Cook, Jr. opened his farm to guests.
In the 1870’s Captain John Arnold left the sea and bought land on the island, and he build a roadway to the ocean now named Arnold Avenue. He also constructed the first bridge over the Manasquan Inlet. The Borough of Point Pleasant Beach was established June 2, 1886, and the first boardwalk was built in 1890. In 1892 it was washed away by a storm, and the first permanent boardwalk was built in 1915 and eventually expanded to run the entire length of Point Pleasant Beach.
However, nature wasn’t done with it, and the hurricane of 1938 shortened the boardwalk to its present length. The town owns the boardwalk, but the beach is owned by various entities, and the largest slice is owned by the owners of Jenkinson’s Beach, who also operate the majority of the boardwalk businesses. That’s why it’s referred to as Jenkinson’s Beach.
Today, Point Pleasant Beach is a family-oriented community with children’s beach shows during the summer season on Monday nights, family games on Tuesday nights, and Radio Disney Concerts on Wednesday evenings. On Sunday night folks enjoy family movies on the beach.
Entertainment and dining facilities comprise about a third of the boardwalk’s length, which includes a food court, sushi bar and full-service restaurant in Jenkinson’s Pavilion.Visitors will also discover Jenkinson’s Aquarium, Jenk’s Nightclub, various arcades, miniature golf courses and an amusement park.
When the warm weather returns, you can get more information on Point Pleasant Beach by calling 732-892-0600, or going online to www.pointpleasantbeach.com

Cape May Jazz Festival
Jazz. The very word brings many names to one’s mind: Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie, Maynard Ferguson, Clark Terry, Herbie Mann, Chuck Mangione, Ella Fitzgerald, and so many, many phenomenally talented musicians both past and present. Jazz. It’s cool. It’s hot. It’s slow. It’s fast. It’s moody. It’s exciting. It’s so many, many things, and it’s always fantastic in Cape May!
Jazz is an original American art form, so much so that the U.S. Congress passed a resolution a decade ago making it official! If you love jazz, you don’t need a resolution to tell you why you should appreciate it. You just do, that’s all.
There are many great jazz festivals each year throughout America, but Historic Cape May, New Jersey is also unique because it hosts not one but two Jazz Festivals each year: in April and November.
In fact, it’s the 26th Cape May Jazz Festival Friday, November 10th through Sunday, November 12th, and this year New Orleans is coming to Cape May, with special concerts by the New Orleans All Star Jazz Band at Convention Hall at 8:00 and 10:00 p.m. Friday evening, November 10th.
Don’t miss the incredible line-up of jazz performers all three days at venues throughout Cape May.
For a complete schedule of who, when, and where log onto www.capemayjazz.org and click on “About the Festival” in the left hand column. You can also order tickets online.
If you prefer to call for information, phone 609-884-7277, or you can call toll-free for information and tickets to
