Series of events lined up through March.
Howie Appel is the host of Broadcasting on the Beach with Halftime Howie, a radio show about all things Long Beach.
Has television got you bored Sunday nights? With the start of the New Year you can listen to news, stories and general information about all things Long Beach on radio instead.
Follow Long Beach Patch on Facebook.
Broadcasting on the Beach with Halftime Howie will switch its hour-long show on AM1240 WGBB to Sundays from 7 to 8 p.m. starting January. The show’s host Howie Appel and his team have several notable shows and events lined up.
The first big event is on Jan. 13, when the show will broadcast live from Rockville Centre Lanes. There, bowling enthusiasts can try to pitch a perfect 300 from
6 to 11 p.m. and enjoy musical entertainment by Benoir & the Long Beach All Stars.
On Jan. 20 the show will broadcast live from the Martin Luther King Center in Long Beach. “The MLK Center will talk about the big parade the following day in Long Beach,” Appel said about the annual holiday parade in the city.
An all-day party is planned at Hub Billiards in Island Park on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 3. The radio show is set to start at 11 p.m. after the big game.
Come Feb. 10, Halftime Howie will broadcast from the Knights of Columbus in Lindenhurst as part of a benefit for the Knights lodge in Long Beach.
Following a benefit concert at Mulcahy’s in December, the radio show will return to the same venue in Wantagh for another night of music and fundraising from 6 p.m. to 12 a.m. Feb 24.
The show will hold a special St. Patrick’s Day broadcast from the Long Beach VFW on March 17.
“We will feature the dancers from the Hagen School of Irish Dance, traditional Irish music including bagpipers and a good luck send off to our very own Robin Lynch, who will be running in the Boston Marathon in April,” Appel said.

If this shelter was not evacuated during the hurricane and what was posted is true, then the city…Read More should clearly terminate their contract and find another rescue group or reopen this shelter with a city hired director and animal control. Actually, I was floored when they gave the contract to this group to begin with given the fact that other, more responsible options were available at the time.

Meanwhile the New York Democrats are proposing a "Women's Rights" Law that will make…Read More killing babies legal until the day they are born. That means twisting their heads off in the womb. And you complain about cats drowning in a flood. And you elect these same people who don't respect human life, but expect them to care for animals. Wake up!

We have been trying to get Rescue Ink shut down for over 2 years. That's one of the reasons for the…Read More Rescue Ink=The Facts site. Every time we posted something on their site they deleted it & then blocked us. Joe covers his tracks very well so it's hard to get him on anything. This was just a set up by Joe because when John quit in December he took down the RI Facebook site that had 146,000 likes which totally pissed off Joe. Now Joe started a new site but it only has about 2500 likes on it most of which are from people from out of the US where the old show from 2009 is still shown. Hopefully John will be wise enough not to become the fall guy for these thugs, spill his guts & tell all. This is not to defend Johnny. What he did was dispicable but Joe & some of the other guys have been doing the same thing since they split from the RI foundation.

There is no question about it. Its not a matter of " right to choose" Its a matter of is…Read More abortion murder...I was so upset with the Orient and what they do to cats and dogs... Look what America does to our children...Cuomo will have their blood on his hands....I am not for abortion at all. But aborting the fetus in the third trimester has to be stopped.. Its murder.. These infants r about to be born..

CMOS, The surfers from out of town come here all year long and add to the economy 12 months a year,…Read More what additional benefit do those people pushing shopping carts full of kid's toys add? Last summer the surfers were give only 1 in 3 beaches and that was base on increased demand, and this year more surfers are expected so it makes sense that more beach be set aside for them, or some kids are going to get hurt and then the city will need to pay for that.
Castles Made of Sand May 17, 2013 at 09:30 am
Paul, after you give us numbers on the "driving" economics of surfers, please tell us how…Read More many surfers come the beach in the summer. Do you know? Or are you just guessing? Your argument that surf shops continue to exist as a result of surfers shopping there is darn near brilliant. I heard a report that supermarkets in town are being solely supported by hungry people. I can't attest to that though. I do know that Empire Kayak is secretly kept in business by Whirling Dirvishes from Instanbul, and not kayakers. But I digress.

I think u r right Joseph. Its really disappointing..:( What the hec r they doing...????? Well they…Read More have 100 days to complete the boardwalk in the middle section. contract started March 12..or the 15th...60 days already and they did nothing...They have 40 more days to complete it. I really hope the town holds them to the contract.. I really do.

Paul as a life long resident, the first surfing school in LB and home owners hit hard by Sandy I…Read More thought it was only right to reduce our fee for summer camp.We have had many families here in the same position and just could not afford camp this summer and asked if we can help with local families so we did just that , we will fill up fast so please sign up soon as we do limit our camps to avoid any over crowding.
We also have posted our dates for the ONLY 501c3 special needs surfing foundation in Long Beach, please check out surfersway .org for more info.Its free and open to all special needs kids.

Now if we could only get the City to reduce the outrageous fees forced upon the surf schools one can…Read More only imagine how low these prices would go. Does anyone actually know where the fees the schools pay go to?

Eddie, you mislead a lot and lie occasionally. "Gosnell's actions wouldn't be criminal in a…Read More more enlightened state like New York, would they? " Yes, they would be. And you know it. In fact, if the reproductive rights of women were properly respected, pond scum like Gosnell would not take advantage of women whose options are limited and find it difficult to obtain the quality prenatal care and a safe abortion if the need one. I respect your right to be against late term abortion and I am not cheering them on but reproductive rights, control over one's body ought to be protected. And doing so would not only eliminate the Gosnells of the world, but would allow for a full range of services that decrease the likihood that women would face situations that bring them to abortion mills like his.

Maybe instead if bitching you should get out there and vote your people into office. It's about…Read More political connections. It could be that the diocese is helping. Tax exempt homes are wrong. Everyone should pay taxes especially when you can afford to send your kids to private school and camp that costs a lot of money however that goes for all people not any specific groups. I can think of a lot of people that got money that probably didn't need it. I know of many firsthand. Did lbc actually apply? That's what I want to know. Find that out first and then start complaining. It may look like on paper they have more money than misivta. Maybe they don't have any, or at least on paper they don't. There are a lot of variables that go into this. Just remember its the politicians who will act in your best interest and that applies to things like this. Get out there and vote.
