Frazier gives back … and happily gets lit up on mound

in Toms River News

Sixty miles from Citizens Bank Park, the night after the Astros combined for a no-hitter in Game 4 of the World Series, two-time MLB All-Star Todd Frazier took the mound himself at The RWJBarnabas Health Field of Dreams.

Unfortunately for Frazier, pitching in his namesake Special Needs Baseball League, any chance he had at a no-hit bid was squashed after the first batter. He didn’t mind, though.

“I got knocked around twice. They were seeing the ball so well on me,” Frazier said. “Underhand or overhand, these balls were being crushed.”

A Fantastic Christmas Lights Display Returns to Toms River, New Jersey

in Toms River News

It’s always fun to talk Christmas and we are closing in on Thanksgiving, so it’s a very festive time of year. Christmas lights displays are always a big draw and people love to go and see these displays every winter. It’s even better when the displays are close to home and only a short ride to go and see.

It is amazing to me when you see beautiful light displays right in your neighborhood. The time, effort, and patience to put together these Christmas lights displays are amazing. I like to put a low-key Christmas display out for our home, so maybe that’s why it’s so amazing to see these homes that really go the extra mile to share their display with the community and neighbors.

I also think with all the “negativity” we have seen since the Pandemic, we can all you a beautiful Christmas display to enjoy this holiday season.

The hawk stuck in the Toms River library is now gone for good, the library hopes

in Toms River News

TOMS RIVER − It nearly came down to a live pigeon wearing a bulletproof-like vest to convince the hawk that had taken up residence at the Toms River Library Oct. 24 to finally take flight.

That was one of the last-ditch options Bob Glass, a master falconer, thought of trying after spending several days along with other avian and wildlife experts attempting to capture the bird. The pigeon vest employs filament loops to snag hawks and other birds of prey by the talons while leaving the secured pigeon, a preferred meal, unharmed.

Instead of the pigeon, it was the library facilities and administrative staff that finally drew the recalcitrant raptor out from its hiding place within the second-floor drop ceiling.

in Toms River News

Toys ‘R’ Us closed in Toms River and surrounding stores in New Jersey and everywhere after filing bankruptcy in 2017 and closing all stores in 2018.

Toys ‘R’ Us did team up with Macy’s last summer to sell the Toys ‘R’ Us brand online only.
