Show time is tomorrow for the RFH Tower Players’ fall production of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow back on the stage at the high school. In honor of opening night curtain and returning to the stage, we offer a look back at a trip down the RFH Yellow Brick Road to Oz and some staged wizardry of the early 1970s at RFH.
I have a feeling we’re not in Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School (RFH) anymore …

Pumped up and piping hot, like a good, strong cup of java, Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School (RFH) musicians revived their live coffee house last night.
It was a time to sing, play and socialize in person once again after COVID-19 quashed the event last year.
Organized by RFH music teacher Zach Lorelli, with tech direction by Matt Leddin, the revival RFH Performing Arts Society (PAS) event was a success, by all accounts.
The program was full, artistic palettes were satiated and a surprise jam came at the end.
With Tobias Ramondo on drums and Luke LaGratta on guitar, Jackson Champeau sang.
RFH PAS is always looking to showcase new talent; and there will be an encore in the spring, so anyone interested in performing can contact Lorelli at RFH.

Continue reading RFH Student-Athletes’ SigningMonday’s Fair Haven Borough Council meeting was a workshop meeting.
In workshop meetings, things are what they sound like. The governing body “workshops” issues. They mull ideas and prospective solutions. We will say “mull” to go with the fall season, like spiced cider. And, just like that, things can get spicy at council meetings. But not on Monday. There was more humor going around on the dais.
Here are some nuggets of information gleaned from the meeting …

It’s fall. So, it’s apropos to fall back in time with a couple of RFH guys and their skateboarding antics.

Benched. It implies punishment of sorts. Not when you’re parked on a time capsuled bench at the river on the Fair Haven Dock.
And when the daytime sun drenches the seat you pick, all that’s wrong with anyone’s world seems to melt through the cracks, lifting the light in the spirit to meet the one in the sky.
Call it high hopes. The soaring, soothing warmth of it all just doesn’t reach higher heights, as long as benched time is river time … soaking it up. Diving back into time, sopping up the comfort of those feelings linked to the memories down by the river. Not a bad one there. Benched.

Nine years ago there was an awful lot of darkness and confusion in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy.
Then came a band of power company heroes to shed some light and offer a whole lot of relief for weary residents in the Rumson-Fair Haven area who went without power for roughly two weeks.
