Officials Vow All Brick Beaches Will Be Open
By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – The public beaches in Brick will be open and fully operational this summer, despite rumors to the contrary, said Director of Recreation Dan Santaniello. “I’ve heard that the beaches won’t be open, or that only Brick Beach 1 will be open, but that’s not true,” he said from his office at Brick Civic Plaza. A weeklong project to mill and repave the parking lot at Brick Beach 1 was scheduled to begin the week of May 2, Santaniello said.

35 have been refaced with a slatetype finish. “There is going to be a decorative fence and landscaping along Route 35. It’s going to be beautiful, better than it ever was,” he said.

Orthodox Faithful Celebrate Easter With Prayer, Family And Food
By Lois Rogers From Brick to Howell, to Jackson to Toms River, the bells of Orthodox churches rang out with the good news of Jesus’ resurrection in the early morning hours of May 1. Five weeks later than the Easter date observed by Western Chris-
tians, the bells signaled that, after 40 days of intense fasting during Great Lent, and the observances of Holy Week leading to it, Holy Pascha, the greatest feast of the Church year had arrived. While the meaning and importance of Easter are the same in both traditions, the dates can vary.
