Focus: A Memorial Flag Day for Fair Haven Fire Department’s Departed

“Where’s your father?” my Fair Haven neighbor shouted to me from across the street some years ago a bit before Memorial Day.

“Uh, whaaat??” I answered with a chuckle. “Um, he’s in the cemetery?”

“Which one?” he asked.

A bit befuddled and more focused on taking the garbage out than my long-deceased dad’s whereabouts, I shook my head and laughed as he continued with “We can’t find him.”

Scene Around: Rumson Spotlight on Kids’ Cancer Fight Helpers

They’re in the fight to win it — the fight against pediatric cancer.

And one step toward that win is fundraising for various components of the effort. One organization that does such work with care, support, survivorship and research funding is Tackle Kids Cancer at K. Hovnanian Children’s Hospital.

To aid in a celebration of this organization’s efforts in fighting the kids’ cancer fight, Jamie Caulfield, a Rumson resident and trustee on the Jersey Shore University Medical Center Foundation board, recently held an event at her home to highlight the group’s accomplishments.

“Hackensack Meridian Health Foundation thanks Jamie for her hospitality and for helping us spread the word about the critical work being done to fight pediatric cancer at Hackensack Meridian Children’s Health,” a released statement from Hackensack said.

Public Fishes for Reason Native Fair Havenite Tossed from Volunteer Spot

Fair Haven residents and beyond are still fishing for an answer to what they see as a rogue wave of a Fair Haven governing body decision to knock a volunteer out of a regional committee, of his own resurrection, designed to protect the Navesink River.

What was dubbed an unprecedented “slap in the face” turned into some verbal fisticuffs when a tsunami of riled residents at Monday’s Fair Haven Borough Council meeting turned out to turn the tide of borough business by defending that volunteer — fourth-generation Fair Havenite and boat captain, Brian Rice. It became a full wipe-out when the ousting became official with a contentious undertow of a 3-2 vote with one abstention.
