A WORD OR TWO FROM ME
by Karen E. Jarosz
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ah, sweet summertime! Yes, this Friday marks the official start of summer. I will admit that like my students I am looking forward to some summertime fun. Time to porch sit, read a few good books, ride my bike, head to the beach and savor some ice cream. There's nothing like summer at the shore. It is a great time to be outdoors and plan to attend a Local Happening. So check out the listings and plan to enjoy some sweet summertime!
Until June 23rd, savor the sweet ol' summertime that's heading our way,
Karen
PS - Remember we are now publishing every Monday in June, July and August! So if you have an event to include we need it by Friday at 12 noon to be included in the following Monday's issue. Thanks!

From:  THE MAN ABOUT TOWN (DAVID ZIMEL)
Ahh, your morning coffee. Something to look forward to, the start of a new day. While it's important that the coffee be good, where you're having it is also important. On Saturday April 12th, it was my pleasure to have my morning cup at the grand opening of the Barbaric Bean on Main St. in Ocean Grove. The coffee was great, as was the food. But what I truly liked was the atmosphere. An excellent place to linger with friends and family or just read your favorite book. So make your way over to the Barbaric Bean. Even if the rest of your day isn't splendid, you'll know it started off just fine.
