It’s always nice to see someone rise to the top after starting pretty much at the bottom and then paying their dues and working their way up the ladder. That would best describe Manchester Township’s new police chief. Brian Klimakowski began working as a dispatcher in 1987 following his graduation from Manchester Township High School. While working he earned degrees from Ocean County College and Fairleigh Dickinson and 24 years later the 43-year old Klimakowski has become the fifth chief in the departments history as he replaces the recently-retired William Brase. Congratulations Chief and all the best!
If just thinking about baseball helps you visualize warm sunny days then just imagine how much better you’ll feel if you engage in a lively discussion about the game. Just days before pitchers and catchers report to Florida and Arizona the Berkeley Little League will host a live “Hot Stove Chat” tonight at their Volunteer Community Center at the Moorage Baseball Complex at 7pm. I will moderate tonight’s diamond doings which feature veteran Phillies reporter Jim Salisbury from CSN Philly, Steve Popper who covers the Mets for The Record of Bergen County and Paul Hagen of the Philadelphia Daily News. Fans can ask questions about their favorite teams and it should be a fun night. Tickets are just $10 and that includes a snack buffet. They will be available on a first-come, first-served basis or you can reserve your seat by emailing BerkeleyLL@comcast.net
I don’t like to get too involved on stories that are as much gossip as fact but the latest one involving Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez has to at least question his judgment and decision-making. A story has surfaced about a recent relationship between the 24-year old quarterback and a 17-year old high school student. The two first met in a New York nightclub on New Year’s Eve and the unidentified teen said they have had dinner, texted somewhat regularly and “hooked-up” at his place in Jersey. She has furnished Deadspin with pictures of what allegedly is Sanchez’s bedroom. The issue is not a legal one as the age of consent is 17 in New York and 16 in New Jersey. However if the story is true wouldn’t it lead you to wonder why a high-profile good-looking athlete would have any kind of relationship with a girl who is on a restricted driver’s license? I mean is Sanchez going to be her prom date? If you’re a Jets fan you have to hope its all garbage.
If you’re a college basketball fan tune in each Thursday at 6pm to “College Hoops Tonight” presented by Pizza Hut on 1160AM. Hosted by Matt Harmon, Dave Popkin and Mike Gill tonight’s show originates from Madison Square Garden before the St. John’s-Connecticut game.
