It still may happen but all of a sudden prospects for another Yankees-Phillies World Series are not so great. The Yanks season could end today with another loss to the Rangers, who lead the American League Championship Series 3 games to 1 after last night’s 10-3 pounding. Not only has Texas won three straight games but they have dominated the series, outscoring the Yankees 30-11 and the Bronx Bombers will have to go the rest of the way without Mark Teixeira, who injured his hamstring. Meanwhile the Giants lead the Phillies 2-1 after shutting them out in San Francisco Tuesday…game #4 is tonight. Most Ocean County fans were hoping for Yanks-Phills II but as a Mets fan I’m thrilled over Giants-Rangers.
The Pioneer Hose Company in Brick will sponsor the annual EAKFEST this
Saturday from 5-10pm at the fire house on Drum Point Road. Billed as a “haunted Halloween fundraiser to fight Cystic Fibrosis” the Eak Family from Brick has been doing this for years as a Halloween party. However a few years ago they learned that their 12-year old daughter was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis so now they turned it into a large fundraiser. Last year nearly 1,000 people turned out and they raised almost $10,000. There is a Haunted Trail, Kiddie Hay Rides, carnival games, Music, Food and more and attendees are encouraged to wear costumes.

First it was June Cleaver and now Howard Cunningham. We have lost two of television’s most endearing parents in just a matter of days. First it was Barbara Billingsley, who played June Cleaver on “Leave it to Beaver.” She died over the weekend at age 94 and yesterday Tom Bosley passed away at the age of 83 from heart failure. He of course played Richie’s father on “Happy Days” from the mid 70’s to the mid 80’s. “Mr. C” was a very understanding guy, who never yelled at Richie and always handled being the parent of a teenager with grace and dignity.
As for Billingsley, while she is best known for playing Mrs. Cleaver who can forget her brief appearance in the 1980 movie “Airplane” in which she played “jive lady.” It was truly a classic.
