Review: The Marksman

- Category: At the Movies
Nothing caught my attention about the movie “The Marksman” EXCEPT it keeps hanging around the theatres. And who doesn’t like Liam Neilson, who always seems to play the guy with a tough veneer and a kind heart. Plus being under 2 hours long, I figured to give it a shot (no pun intended).
Living on theTexas/Mexico border, Jim is this gun toting rancher, US flag on his pick up truck & a 2-way radio on his hip with a direct line to US Border control, sure seemed like I knew where this film was going.
Making the rounds following his cattle (with one eye on the border watching for crossers), he nearly runs over 10 year Miguel who just come through the border fence. He and his Mom are being chased by the Cartel as payback for his Uncle who stole $ from them.

ATL. HIGHLANDS – Residents of this borough are expected to have access to one more avenue of communication from the governing body and eventually the police department-- even when power is out or water rises in storms, Councilman Jon Crowley explained to the governing body at last week’s meeting.
In his report, Crowley explained the recently formed Technology and Communications committee is ready to test a new self-powered emergency AM radio channel, a low-tech, low cost use of a radio frequency whereby communications from the borough can be transmitted via both electrically powered and battery operated radios, to homes or vehicles.
Atlantic Highlands to Decide on Local or County Emergency Dispatch

ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS – Whether it will destroy the feeling and efficiency of a small town police department or improve services for borough residents will be the topic of a special meeting of the Mayor and Council Tuesday evening at 7 p.m. as the governing body hears residents on the question of moving the local emergency dispatch services to the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office Center. Interested persons can visit the Atlantic Highlands site at ahnj.com for information on how to attend the meeting and be heard on ZOOM.
Discussion is strong on both sides of the issue, with Police Chief David Rossbach strongly in favor of handing dispatch services over to the County Sheriff’s department for the efficiency and security of borough residents, a move he readily admits will be expensive in the first year but will also result in huge financial savings in the future while providing a safer environment for residents.
