AH First Aid Puts New Horton Ambulance into Service
- Details
- Category: News
ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, NJ – The Atlantic Highlands First Aid & Safety Squad has taken delivery of a new Horton 553A ambulance, which will go a long way in helping the organization serve the community.
The ambulance was purchased in part with a generous Department of Homeland Security Assistance to Firefighters Grant. The squad then supplemented those funds to complete the purchase.
“An already great squad has gotten significantly better with the arrival of this new ambulance,” said AHFAS chief Richard Huff. “The vehicle was designed to our specifications to help the community. Instantly, our crews and patients will be safer and better served.”
Atlantic Highlands First Aid & Safety Squad 1st Lieutenant Ray Stoever and squad captain Tom Hayden discuss the new features of the squad’s new Horton ambulance.
The new unit will replace an ambulance with more than 20 years of service that had outlasted its usefulness.
"In light of budget cuts in EMS throughout the state, this grant and purchase of our new ambulance will ensure that the squad will continue to thrive and maintain its progressive posture into the future,” said AHFAS president Lou Marotta.
New Jersey Rep Presents the World Premiere of Puma

LONG BRANCH, NJ – The New Jersey Repertory Company, located at 179 Broadway in Long Branch, is proud to present the world premiere of Puma by Julie Gilbert and Frank Evans, February 24 thru April 3, 2011.
What happens when two heavenly bodies collide? That is exactly what we encounter in Puma, a play that explores the life-long, obsessive and tempestuous love affair between Marlene Dietrich, the German actress who became a Hollywood icon, and Erich Maria Remarque, the celebrated author of All’s Quiet On The Western Front. As the inevitable conflagration of World War II loomed over Europe, both Dietrich and Remarque fled Nazi Germany to the United States. Remarque was already an acclaimed wunderkind and Dietrich had made her mark and had gained international fame with her performance as Lola in the film, The Blue Angel directed by Josef von Sternberg.
The play takes the audience through their unconventional relationship over the decades as they both work to establish themselves in their new homeland while struggling with the challenge encountered by all immigrants, displacement. Along the way they meet and sleep with an impressive cavalcade of Hollywood’s luminaries while at the same time attempting to accommodate their respective marriages. Jimmy Stewart and Paulette Goddard are also featured in the play as they are pulled into the powerful and seductive orbit of these two larger-than-life characters. Puma provides a glimpse into a time in history when the true world order was being destroyed, and when long established cultures and societies were being swept aside while at the same time the fantastical illusion that we know as Hollywood was being created.

MIDDLETOWN, NJ - Food Circus Super Markets celebrates its 55th anniversary with a public gathering on January 18, 2011 at 12:00 in front of the company’s iconic trademark clown located on Highway 35 in Middletown. The public and press are invited to attend the 55th anniversary celebration where cake and refreshments will be served.

In 1927 John and Angelina migrated from a small town in Italy to America and opened a small candy and ice cream store which they purchased for $2,000 at 35 Miller Street in Highlands. John and Angelina ran the small store until they eventually turned it into a modern day 7-11 convenience store. With the help of their two children Joseph Azzolina and Grace Azzolina Scaduto, the company expanded into a supermarket concept in 1956 and the Food Circus Super Foodtown family owned chain would begin.
