Seward Johnson

Here in Ocean County, we're used to Summer visitors. And this Summer, we had some unique ones. They didn't really do much traveling, but they hung around Toms River since early May.

Toms River Police are asking for your help to identify this vandal who apparently decided that it would be funny to knock over one of the Downtown Toms River statues. The sculptures, on loan from the Sweard Johnson Grounds For Sculpture, have become familiar sights in Toms River, being both a source of pride and fun, with endless photo opportunities. But one person decided that they wanted to ruin

You've probably noticed over the last few days, the large objects in downtown Toms River covered in green tarps (Sue Moll put the question out there the other day). Well, today we got a look at exactly what was under those tarps.

A mom and youngster engrossed in a book...a window-washer...a gent perusing a newspaper. These and other activities that occur on any given day in downtown Toms River are depicted in 20 bronze sculptures that will occupy strategic spots there, beginning in May.
