On Monday, the platitudes and photo-ops won't cut it. The story of Oceanport's Barton Cross is what Memorial Day is really about -- and it's tough to stomach: app.com/story/news/his… via @asburyparkpress

Wayne Cimorelli started working the Seaside Heights boardwalk in 1967. Now he owns a chunk of it. On a life of entertaining governors (with one exception), celebrities, BENNYs (he hates the word), and locals: app.com/story/news/loc… via @asburyparkpress

Enormous gut-check by the Knickerbockers. Not sure I can think of another NBA team with these road-home splits. Karl-Anthony delivered.

Thank you to our readers who donated toward the purchase of accessible vans for Mirian and Andrew. Here's the follow-up story -- and a reminder that there are many good people out there: app.com/story/news/loc… via @asburyparkpress

Jael Hester's parents met as track athletes at Rutgers -- and clearly passed him the gene. The Toms River North sophomore is already jumping farther than Carl Lewis was as a 10th-grader: app.com/story/sports/h… via @asburyparkpress

Seton Hall, already embroiled in multiple lawsuits and investigations, now faces a lawsuit from a former baseball player alleging “severe hazing, abuse and misconduct." Here's more, its response to my questions, and a PDF of the suit: app.com/story/sports/c… via @asburyparkpress

Haven't heard from Robert Brennan in a while. Steve catches up with him on horse racing. A major former Seton Hall booster.

Big weekend ahead for Jersey college baseball as Felician is in the D-2 World Series and Kean and Rowan are in the D-3 World Series. Here are two compelling stories of players who took the long road to this moment: app.com/story/sports/c… via @asburyparkpress Steven Falk

UPDATE: Seton Hall says it has hired a third-party investigator but won't say who that investigator is. The university's new statement is added: app.com/story/sports/c… via @asburyparkpress

Knicks were the aggressor tonight: aggressive to the glass, aggressive to the rim, aggressive to the ball on D. These guys do have it in them. Two more games with that attitude and we might see something historic.

Karl-Anthony: 24 points, 13 boards, 3 assists, plus/minus of +26 on a banged-up knee. The pride of Piscataway set the tone.

I've thoroughly enjoyed the Knicks' return to relevance -- no other team unites the metropolitan area like they do. Feels like they're one piece away from a championship. It was great to see Karl-Anthony Towns thrive during his homecoming season. This is where he belongs.
