30-Minute Beach Cleanup Reaches 10th Anniversary

Nearly a decade ago, one Belmont Shore resident said he decided to stop ignoring the trash accumulating along the city's shoreline.

Justin Rudd's Mother's Day Opera was a Success
Hear a 3-minute sample of songs from the concert here.

Will appreciate any input to help improve my dogs skin problems.

The scratching is nonstop to the point of bleeding.  Try everything,4 brand of fleas, tick control, soft shampoo den bug spraying.  Their fur is very dry, coarse.  Please, any ideas, forget the vet, already 600 bucks wasted with him.  Thank you in advance.  - Charles.
