Thursday Stuff

Friends of Lisa Zindell have organized a walk on the Manasquan Reservoir in Howell for this Saturday to not only remember her but help raise awareness of domestic violence in Ocean and Monmouth County. The 30-year old Toms River woman was killed by her former fiancé as part of a murder-suicide earlier this month….a story that has stunned and saddened many, especially those who knew and worked with her at the State Division of Youth and Family Services. Saturday’s walk will take place between 11am-2pm and purple ribbon magnets in memory of Lisa will be sold to promote domestic violence awareness.

Last night’s minor league baseball game between Louisville and Toledo was postponed by rain so the Frazier brothers were denied an opportunity to play against one another for a fourth straight night. Younger brother Todd got the best of older brother Jeff during the three games played between the Triple-A affiliates of the Reds and Tigers. Todd belted a pair of home runs in the series, including the game winner Tuesday night. We’ll wait and see if either or both former Toms River South standouts get a taste of the major leagues in September.

America on Line has been breaking down the best TV shows by decades and today they revealed their best of the 60’s. The “Twilight Zone” was rated as number one followed by “Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In” and the “Dick Van Dyke Show.” Rounding out the top ten were:

4. Bonanza
5. The Andy Griffith Show
6. The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour
7. The Fugitive
8. I Spy
9. Get Smart
10. Star Trek

My personal favorite was “Mod Squad” which was #30.
