By Chris Lundy PINE BEACH – The world record for the most kayaks on the water in one place is 329. Correction. The record was 329. That record was quite easily shattered when hundreds of people launched into the Toms River on an early Saturday morning. This was the kind of shore traffic you want to see. Families and friends making their way at their own speed on the water. Like cars on the road, they stayed to the right, so that they weren’t facing others head-on during the return journey. They took off from several different locations. That’s one of the best things about a kayak is that you can enter the water from any shore. But in order to count, they had to paddle between two markers in the river. (Kayak - See Page 5)
Kayakers filled the Toms River, breaking a world record.

Curtain Call For Seacourt Pavilion’s AMC By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – Theater goers had the choice of seeing Back to the Future III, Glory, Pretty Woman, Driving Miss Daisy, House Party, Hunt For Red October, Fire Birds, Cadillac Man and Bird on A Wire when the Loews Seacourt 10 opened to the public in 1990. You could also enjoy trailers of upcoming films like
Dick Tracy, Robo Cop II and Total Recall at that time but the 32-year-old township theater located on Hooper and Bay avenues showed its final films on August 21. That leaves the Marquee Cinemas Orchard 10 on Route 37 as the only theater left in Toms River which once boasted four operating cinemas in the community (AMC - See Page 8)
