In October, Troop 32 honored Christian DeSanctis, Zachary Johnson, and Jeremy Karew at an Eagle Court of Honor ceremony at Middletown United Methodist Church, before Troop 32’s leadership, fellow scouts, family, friends, and area dignitaries, including Middletown Mayor Gerard P.

ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, NJ - For the third time this year, a pleasure boat has been trapped on the pilings at the end of the Hesse (Seastreak) pier.
Early this afternoon, a man drove his boat over the pilings. Friends tried in vain to pull the boat off the pilings and finally took the man aboard their craft. They will wait for high tide Wednesday to try again to pull the boat off. High tide is expected at 11:21 PM tonight.
