MANCHESTER – The Township School District’s Extended School Year (ESY) program provided fun for students with educational field trips during their summer session.

Students recently visited the RWJ Barnabas Field of Dreams Complex in Toms River which is a sports complex created for inclusive participation. Students enjoyed the playground which included many different options for swinging, sliding, dancing, and jumping.

They also liked the baseball field and the opportunity to play mini golf and football.

The ESY program selected the Field of Dreams to give students the opportunity to play on equipment that was designed for all ability levels and to give them the opportunity to try out different sports.

Attending the park allows our students to improve their play skills while practicing following directions in the community. Community-based instruction is part of the ESY curriculum for all students.

Film:

Continued From Page 1 just thrown together. But people pay millions of dollars for bizarre, abstract art, so the scam is believable. However, the murderer becomes an overnight sensation in the art world, which threatens to expose their plot.

The last few shots of the film needed to be done in Florida last summer but the weather didn’t work out.

In September, cast and crew came to Lavallette to fi nish the movie. They blocked off entrances to a park off Bay Boulevard for some filming, bringing in palm trees to complete the look.

They set up shop in the West Point Island home of James and Sharon Maida. Make-up and hair were done in the house. Thurman had her studio in a spare bedroom. Manganiello and his dog, Bubbles, worked out of a side room leading to the deck.

The garage became a location where Manganiello opens up a roll of caution tape and interacts with a dead body. A local limo service brought in a white limo for a shot of Thurman going into it.

The Maida’s boat, License To Chill, will also make it into the movie. There’s a chance that the Seaside bridge, off in the distance, will stand in for the bridge on the Florida Keys.

They also filmed in Jersey City, Hoboken, New York and Florida.

The recently dropped trailer shows city streets that could be Hoboken. At one point, Jackson’s computer screen has the

Neptune Bakery logo, which could be the Jersey City shop.

The director, Nicol Paone, grew up in Lyndhurst, although she moved to L.A. Her proud parents, Dominick and Elizabeth, live in the Green Island section of Toms River.

James Enright, a chiropractor in Lavallette, graduated with Nicol Paone. James Maida is his client.

When Paone needed a waterfront location, she said “I know just the place - the Jersey shore.”

“My chiropractor, Jim Enright, asked my dad ‘who do we know?’” Then Jim Enright asked James Maida to borrow their house. “That’s Jersey for you,” she said. Back in September, Paone took the time to sit down with a reporter about working locally.

“I love it,” she said. “It feels like full circle.”

The writer and comedian made her directorial feature debut with Friendsgiving (2020), which she also wrote.

Sharon Maida said they live in Bucks County, but summer here. In a strange coincidence, their son Nick was having dinner with his fiance in Hoboken when Paone was filming in that restaurant.

Producer William Rosenfeld took a brief step in front of the camera to portray the body on the floor of the Maidas’ garage.

Nicol knew one of his business partners from her Wall Street days. He sent Rosenfeld the script.

He grew up in Philadelphia but his family summered in Barnegat Light since the early 1980s. Even now, he’ll take his kids down there.

When they were driving south on the Garden State Parkway from New York to Lavallette, they got off at the Toms River exit, but a little piece of him longed to go down to the LBI exit.

“It’s a little dream,” he said, “to be able to come back to childhood places, with people you love - it doesn’t feel like work.”

When he was a kid, he dreamed of making movies. So, everything he saw was a potential location. Now, to actually make a movie at the Jersey shore is amazing.

Manganiello joked with the locals and the crew during breaks. He told The Toms River Times how he and his chihuahua mix enjoyed his time at the shore.

“I’m from Pittsburgh. My parents are from Boston. I’ve got a bit of that East Coast edge. When the cameras are off, and they’re barbecuing with the Jersey Teamsters, I feel right at home,” he said.

North American distribution is being handled by Shout Factory, which won a bidding war for the movie at the Cannes Film Festival, according to industry publications.

Police:

Continued From Page 1 actually scoffed up the most donuts (six seemed to be the magic number) and at the fastest rate. This year’s donuts came from the newly opened Wawa store in Lakehurst.

Mayor Robert Arace of Manchester was there along with Lakehurst Mayor Harry Robbins. Members of both municipal councils were also present plus a whole lot of people who came out to enjoy the festivities.

Parking around the borough was at a premium during the event and both Manchester Police Chief Robert Dolan and Lakehurst Police Chief Matthew Kline said they were pleased with the great crowd.

“The turnout is excellent. We are happy that Manchester Police and Lakehurst Police can get together on such a good night at such a good event,” Chief Dolan said.

“This is all community based. We also have a lot of educational stuff and we’re doing PT test here,” the chief said pointing to a youngster doing pushups as a Manchester police officer gave some encouragement and counted his repetitions.

“We also have the goggles over there,” the chief added noting that they were used to simulate the effects of drugs and alcohol on balance as a prevention measure to the public.

Mayor Robbins and his wife were standing behind the fence to the Lakehurst Elementary School where the Robert Wood Johnson/ Barnabas Health emergency transportation helicopter would soon be arriving on the field next to the school building.

“We have a great crowd out here tonight,” the mayor said. He and his wife recalled a large crowd at the recently opened Wawa just a few weeks earlier.

Once the helicopter arrived, attendees got a chance to take a peek inside the cockpit and learn more about the service the aerial ambulance provides.

Ocean County Sheriff Michael Mastronardy was also present and he brought along some friends in the form of Ocean County

Commissioner Barbara “Bobbi” Jo Crea and Officer McGruff the crime prevention dog. McGruff posed with attendees including the Kline family.

The law enforcement mascot has taught millions of people that the police can’t fight crime alone – crime prevention is everybody’s business and everyone can help “Take A Bite Out of Crime!”

Through television commercials, comic books, live appearances, and more, McGruff has encouraged people young and old to take common-sense steps to reduce crime.

The Sheriff has a very close rapport with McGruff and he was pleased with how the crime prevention dog provided messages to young people at the event. McGruff even did a bit of a jig when the trio visited the Ocean County Sheriff Department’s tent by the lake.

Some Facts About McGruﬀ

There are 4,000 active McGruffs (number of costumes in use). McGruff has a classy Corvette, a monster truck in Arizona, and a wiener wagon in Florida. But most of all, he likes to ride in patrol cars assisting law enforcement.

McGruff ’s favorite crime-fighting techniques are to teach children specific tips to be safe at home and school and to help law enforcement officers do their jobs better.

The mascot is a “ham,” so he loves doing public service announcements for television and radio or posing for print or billboard advertising. He had many photos taken of him during this event.

“It is a beautiful night for this. McGruff is really entertaining the children,” Commissioner Crea added.

Chief Kline said, “once again we’re here in Lake Horicon. I think we have more people this year. It is great to see both communities come together with law enforcement for a great cause.”

The Lakehurst First Aid Squad provided free water ice in a variety of flavors. Other organizations also got to showcase themselves and DJ music kept the crowd moving throughout the evening.
