Five Things You Need to Know: Oct. 18

Good morning Little Silver and Oceanport!

Grab a cup o' joe and let's get you in the know for Tuesday, Oct. 18, 2011.

Sunny, High 68

It'll be partly sunny with a high of 68 Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service. Tonight we've got an 80 percent chance of rain, but the brunt of it probably won't hit until around 5 a.m. Wednesday.

Buc Boffo

Oh man. Some of you probably were all like "dude, srsly??" when .

Thanks to a friendly e-mail I received, I now understand the Buc Backers Booster Club is different from the RBR Education Foundation, and the gourmet lunch that the RBR Culinary Club prepared for the folks at the Day of the Races this weekend was no simple BBQ.

Sorry about that! I regret and apologize for the mistake.

Seven Bridges Winery

It's still in the very, very early stages, but you might be interested to know that at last night's in Little Silver, there was a proposal on the table for a "Seven Bridges Winery" to be set up at the DeBlasi residence  at Seven Bridges Road and Silverside Avenue. Want to know more? Check back here later. We've got the full scoop on that and will be dishing it out very soon.

Welcome Officer Arnold!

You should have seen last night! It was jam-packed with friends and family geared up to watch the borough's newest police officer, Amanda Arnold, get sworn in. Seriously, from the beginning until the end of the meeting, it was difficult to hear over the hum of celebrants outside the council chambers. Congratulations and welcome to Officer Arnold, and expect to be more properly introduced to her on Patch soon.

Meditate

Sometimes, you've just got to stop and appreciate the beauty of your surroundings. If you're looking to up your karma, perhaps the tonight is the place for you. It's only $15 for a class, and for peace of mind, that just might be a bargain.

That's all for now folks, have a great day!
