“Toni was a fierce Mama Bear, protecting her children and anyone whom she loved. Everyone in Toni’s world knew how special they were, as she truly protected her circle. She would have been the first person at the doorstep when someone reached out for help.” ~

It doesn’t have to be the longest day of the year to get the most out of the warmth of river time before the sun sets, calling it a day — a first summer day.
The day may be over, but the river time feeling is forever docked in the mind. The fair haven on the Navesink always calls. Rain never drowns the call. The lap. The lull. The gentle tide reaches out and tugs at our hearts to stay. And we do.
Any day is the longest day down by the river, because it’s an endless river walk in our Fair Haven.
Rain never washes away the footprint of time wrapped in home’s swaddling river tide.

They’re number one in more ways than one.
The girls who comprise the first Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School (RFH) Girls Flag Football team on Tuesday won their first sectional championship, making the team number one in the Shore Conference.
The final score was 26-13 in the RFH team’s win over Middletown High School South. With only two losses (8-2) in the season, the game that sent RFH to the Shore Conference was its win 17-6 over Pinelands in the semifinal.
So, the team, with Randy Kalman as head coach, basked in its winning first season as the girls savored that major win moment. Take a look at the photos above for a glimpse into the winning moment, courtesy of RFH mom Jenny Costello. (Click on one photo to enlarge and scroll.)
