Red Bank Regional students and parents packed a board of ed meeting Wednesday night in a bid to save the ice hockey and golf programs from a budgetary axe.
With a preliminary spending plan calling for a 6.5-percent tax increase, board members defended the cuts as necessary before parents appeared to coalesce around a plan to save the sports through outside fundraisers.

LINCROFT: CURCHIN CHIPS IN AGAIN
Once a year, the Curchin Group in Lincroft, a CPA practice, moves its desks and files aside and transforms its Half Mile Road office into a miniature golf course, where it hosts a fundraiser called the Curchin Open.
This year’s edition, held last Wednesday, generated $18,000 for two charities: Mary’s Place by the Sea and the Monmouth County SPCA, which brought two rescues (including a pup named Coco, right) to the event.

LINCROFT: DUFFERS TO PUTTER AMID DESKS
Let’s face it, golf is about exercise without breaking a sweat, right? So why not do it in the climate-controlled comfort of an office, beverage in hand?
The Curchin Open, an indoor golf tournament held annually in the Lincroft offices of the CPA firm Curchin Group, returns for its ninth edition Wednesday. And amid the scratch-off games, raffles and fine refreshments, players will once again get to play nine, fun-filled holes laid out among the cubicles.
The proceeds of the event (at $20 per player) will be split between the Samaritan Center at the Jersey Shore and HABcore Inc. The open runs from 4 to 7 p.m. at 200 Schulz Drive, suite 400. To reserve a tee time, call Dawn Grosso at 732-747-0500. (Click to enlarge)

SPRING 2013: GETTING SOME AIR
It was a get-outside kind of day on the Green Tuesday, and locals took advantage of summerlike temperatures in the high 70s.
A biker, above, got some air on West Front Street in Red Bank, above, and a duffer tried to find his way back to the hole at the Navesink Country Club, below. But the blooming forsythia at right above offered a reminder that the start of summer is still more than two months away.
Our sudden-onset spring continues Wednesday with temperatures again climbing to nearly 80 degrees and possible thunderstorms, the Weather Channel forecasts. (Click to enlarge)
WHERE HAVE I SEEN THIS?
With the start of Spring, 2013, hibernators all over the Green emerged to morning-cough an answer to last week’s Where Have I Seen This, which showed a sand trap surrounded by well-tended grass.
