It’s half past RFH reunion time and the pandemic has kept classmates’ summertime gatherings at bay.
RFH reunions always involve close encounters, gab festing, food, drink, and everything but distancing. After all, that’s what reunions are for, right? Well, not this year.
A suspended Ocean Township police officer pleaded guilty late last week to unlawful possession of Clenbuterol, a popular weight loss supplement which is not approved for human use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher J. Gramiccioni announced.
When the rain clears and the sun shines, shadows are cast. They offer a perspective of what’s behind, ahead and sometimes the view from beneath the surface.
