To the Editor:July 11, 2018

It was finally here! The first day of our summer-long vacation on LBI had begun. I dropped my son off at his first day of Lifeguard in Trainingwith the Long Beach Township Beach Patrol at Bayview Park and walked across the street to start my new summer exercise routine of walking and jogging on the beach.

I had recently received my slip in the mail for a free reusable shopping bag to use on LBI since the ban of the plastic shopping bags had begun. I picked up my bag before heading to the beach.
