By Andrew Rice BRICK - The Brick Farmers Market, which takes place at Windward Beach Park off of Princeton Avenue, is well underway for its summer season. It will run on every Saturday from 8:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. - rain or shine - until October 3. The market features over 70 vendors, some
of which are longtime favorites who have been showing up since the market’s founding in 2015, while others are new for this season, as the market always looks to add new small businesses to its lineup. The farmers market, which offers free admission for shoppers, is run through Brick township’s local government, which allows it to operate at the size that it does. One of the vendors for the market was Thomas Ascough, who runs a small business called Savvy Fit Soaps.

By Andrew Rice BRICK - A few residents attended the most recent Brick Board of Education meeting to talk about the tragic accident that occurred on Lanes Mill Road. Jackson Mueller, who was a freshman at Brick Memorial High School, was hit and killed during his morning bike ride to school.

Recital Brings Many Church Organists Under One Roof By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY - Dozens of faithful music lovers filled the St. Paul Lutheran Church in Beachwood for the first ever recital for local organists. Usually in church, it’s not customary to clap after the organist finishes a song. But it was encouraged here, as a way to show appreciation for the hard work and passion that the musicians demonstrated. It made one wonder how often they perform for a crowd that isn’t a mass. They hailed from Redeemer Lutheran in Neptune,
Manahawkin Methodist, All Saints Episcopal in Bay Head, St. Luke’s Catholic in Toms River, and many more. They were assembled by Barbara D’Ippolito, the Dean of Ocean County American Guild of Organists. She organized this event which was called “And Again I Say, Rejoice!” Although the pipe organ is associated with classical music, one of the composers was born in 1989. Additionally, one of the organists, Tyler Sotto, was a sophomore at Central Regional High School. (Church Organists - See Page 5)
