As you walk into the Maritime Forest, you hear the birds chirping, the frogs croaking, and the bushes rustling beside you. You hear the crunch of broken seashells, and smell the perfume of the beach and the ocean.

Tomorrow morning, Bradley Beach officials will dedicate this special place at the southern end of the Bradley Beach boardwalk to the late mayor Julie Schreck. Her vision helped transform this former parking lot and storage area into a natural buffer with many environmental benefits. Ms. Schreck was mayor from 2008-2012, and died in 2014.

Duck Tales (Woo-oo!)

Get ready for some laughs, it’s time for DuckTales! 

DuckTales is a hilarious show for all ages, featuring Scrooge McDuck, his nephews, Huey, Dewey, Louie Duck, and Donald Duck, including new characters like Della Duck, Mrs. Beakley, Webby Vanderquack, and Launchpad McQuack. This show is a remake of the one from the 1980’s. I would recommend this show for people who like cartoons — 11 stars.

Della, Dewey, and Donald sometimes say “aw fooie,” which I think is funny. In one of the episodes, Donald kept on punching and kicking himself because a bug was inside his clothes. The storyline is that a bunch of the characters go on adventures. DuckTales fans will get a season finale in 2021. All in all, DuckTales is one the best shows ever.

About a year ago when the pandemic started, the community came together to donate hundreds of boxes of food to the Bradley Food Pantry by placing their donations on their front porch. This Saturday, March 27th, from 11AM to 2PM, the Bradley Beach Fire Department, Bradley Beach First Aid and other volunteers will do it again, driving around town collecting food donations for the food pantry.

Residents are asked to leave items on their front porches for pickup. It couldn’t be easier. If you are not a resident and would like to drop off on the 25th, you may do so at the Fire Department from 11AM to 4PM. See the flyer below for most needed items.

The Bradley Food Pantry, founded in 1982, serves more than 750 families a month in Asbury Park, Avon-By-The-Sea, Belmar, Bradley Beach, Lake Como, Neptune, Neptune City, Ocean Grove, Ocean Township, Tinton Falls, and Wall Township.

During a pandemic, art class can be very challenging and different, but Mrs. Dizefalo never fails to make class fun. This year, grades five through eight are eligible to enter a contest to design an image for the Bradley Beach Shade Tree Commission’s promotional items.

Middle School students are drawing trees and/or leaves to represent the Bradley Beach Shade Tree Commission. The winner of the contest will get their drawing design printed onto tote bags for the community. I got the chance to interview Summer Deaver, one of the organizers of the Bradley Beach Shade Tree Commission, who came up with the idea for the contest, via email. These were her responses:
