Haul out the garland. It’s that time of the year when all good organizations start the holiday partying.

It’s not every day that you see two Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School (RFH) graduates, Fair Haven- and Rumson-raised law enforcement officers, side-by-side at a Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office swearing-in. Just today.

A classic reprise … just because we’re all about playing that field at RFH. Did they need drive? Well, they had it here in the most classic 70s form ...
Fall is football time … until it’s a wrap and winning RFH players go on to state championship games. And when the home game is over and the coldest of cold snaps hits, it’s bundle-up-and-ride-with-it-time. After all, sometimes it’s not all about the game for spirited RFHers.

Reprise! Just because it’s pretty fun to look back with us again at just what it used to cost to shop for the feast … Happy Thanksgiving, all!
Oh, it’s that time — when people were out gobbling up final hour deals on their Thanksgiving meal ingredients.
So, the Retro Pic(s) of the Day take us back to one supermarket of the past, another old standard, and turkey dinner deals of the 1960s or 70s? Guess what year these Red Bank Register ads were published.
Remember Finast? Remember where it was? Well, the store’s turkey day sale involved the bird at 49 cents a pound or a beef roast for 98.
And how about this Foodtown ad? The offer there was the same for the Thanksgiving bird — 49 cents per pound. Though the Foodtown roast was $1.09. And how about those nuts at 39 cents? If only the price of nuts wasn’t so nuts nowadays. Bacon, too. When was the last time you saw bacon sold for 69 cents per 1lb package?
A long time ago, that’s when. For the food prices of yesteryear we give thanks — or a little cry.
How much did you pay per pound for your bird this year?
The RFH Bulldogs are on a real winning streak on that football field. So, can we have a special cheer for RFH football?

It’s double the RFH pride when the Bulldogs win the varsity state football championship, you’re a player and your cheering section is headed by your RFH grad mom.
Of course, moms are number one fans; but, the RFH connection between this mother and son just makes this on-the-field capture all the more Bulldog meaningful. That’s because the moment is one between 1993 grad Jenny Jones Costello and son Nick, an RFH senior and linebacker for the team.
Yes, by now, most know that the RFH Varsity Football team won the state championship with Friday night’s playoff win against Hazlet’s Raritan High School 34-27, making them the NJSIAA South Jersey Group 2 champions.
Those winning two-generation RFH smiles say it all.
Congratulations Bulldogs! Cheers!
The unofficial 2022 election results have put a Republican majority back on the governing body dais in Fair Haven.
Continue reading GOP Sweeps Fair Haven Council & Mayoral Races** Editor’s note: All candidates were provided with the same questionnaire and at the same time. The responses are being published in the order in which they were received. At R-FH Retro, we strive for complete balance in coverage. All candidates were also offered the option of paid advertising in the form of linked photo campaign ads on this hyperlocal news website. Every year, both parties have accepted. This year, the Republicans declined. That is the only reason for the absence of Republican campaign ads. Republican candidates, after multiple efforts asking for a response to the questionnaire, did not respond. We do not endorse, but cite that a lack of response in this forum, as we know it, is a detriment to the public served. **
The notion in mind that an informed voter is a better voter, here are some facts that may enlighten and inspire whether or not you have cast your vote yet.

Sunny days and Mondays are a great way to start the week — especially in the fall with some river time in Rumson tossed in.
With river time, along the Navesink River, it’s all about warmth. Soaking up the sun while getting a soothing embrace from the river is the coziest it gets. Always a homecoming.
There’s nothing like the soul taking a dip in the sun-drenched riverfront. Falling for it all on a fall day. Never shaking off an ounce of its healing power. Taking it in, holding it for a lifetime.
There are more sunny fall river days to come this week. Take a look at the forecast from the National Weather Service …
