MEET YOUR SIX SCHOOL BOARD CANDIDATES Si� R�n For T�o Spots

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – There are six candidates running for two available seats on the Board of Education this election season that are being vacated by incumbents Karyn Cusanelli and George White, who are not running for re-election. In part one of a two-part series, we ask the candidates why they are running for the Board of Education, and about their work and educational background. We also asked if they have any children in the district, how long they have lived in Brick, and to add any other details that they felt were important. These are their responses in alphabetical order by the candidate’s last name: Walter Campbell, 74, said he running for a seat because he wants the opportunity to follow through on the many facilities and curriculum upgrades to the (Candidates - See Page 5)

Pet Ministries Bless Four-Legged Friends

By Lois Rogers The fifth annual Blessing of the Animals, Pet Fair and Pet Adoption Day unfolded on the wide green lawns behind St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, Herbertsville Road, Brick, with scores of critters and the “service humans” who gathered with them for recognition of their place in God’s creation. One-by-one and sometimes twoby-two, as in the case of a couple of pooches who rode a cart to receive their blessings from Pastor Alan Darby, the critters reflected the peaceable kingdom at its best.

The sense of tranquility continued even after the pets – mainly dogs with a sprinkling of cats – received their blessings. Settling in shady spots, the pets munched on treats and slurped from huge water bowls thoughtfully set out by members of the congregation’s Pet Ministry which sponsors and coordinates the community outreach event.

The idea for the show came from the township’s Public Information Officer Ed Moroney, who was familiar with an online streaming service called Blogtalk Radio. “It’s available to the public. It allows people to create content for the internet for a hobby they have or for anything they’re interested in,” Moroney said from the mayor’s office before the September 28 broadcast. The show lasts about a half hour unless there is a large number of calls, when it can go a little longer, Moroney said. During the broadcast, Ducey monitors his computer screen for listener calls and checks his smartphone for questions on the Facebook page. “People can call about any topic, (Mayor - See Page 26)
