LONG BRANCH, NJ — It’s been called an “urban wasteland.” A “sad, sad place.” A “dump,” and even a “hell hole.” And that was just one paragraph in last week’s TriCity News.
When the artists of Imagine Long Branch look at lower Broadway, however, they see potential. Possibilities. Beauty, even.
At any rate, it’s certainly nothing that a few well-placed daubs of paint couldn’t fix. That’s why a group of dynamic, creative neighbors has been working closely with the City of Long Branch to transform the block between Second Avenue and Liberty Street into a destination attraction unlike anything ever seen on the Jersey Shore.
It won’t happen overnight. But, for one day, some of the area’s most dynamic and dedicated artists and musicians will sound the keynote — and wield the first ceremonial brushstrokes — when Arts Hits the Streets.

ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS – More than five dozen fifth graders from two Atlantic Highlands schools graduated last week from the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) program run by the Atlantic Highlands Police Department.
“Part of this is getting the kids to know police officers and to know that cops are people too,” said AHPD Patrolman Stephen Doherty, who heads up the local D.A.R.E. program with Patrolman Stephen Vogt.
Doherty, known to local kids as “Officer Steve,” along with Vogt conducted the program during the recent school year. The two officers visited regularly with 5th graders from the Atlantic Highlands Elementary School and Mother Teresa Regional School to talk about drugs, alcohol abuse, computers and bullying.

Middletown, NJ — Every little bit helps, especially in all-volunteer organizations. The Middletown Township Office of Emergency Management recently accepted a 1997 E450 Ambulance donated by the Port Monmouth First Aid Squad. The ambulance was still used as a primary response vehicle, until April when in an effort to maintain costs, a new home was sought for the apparatus.

ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, NJ - Spectators lined up early along First Avenue to view the annual Memorial Day parade. Leading off the march was a color guard from Naval Weapon Station Earle followed by veterans, boys scouts, church groups, little leaguers, politicians, and emergency services personnel among others.
After the parade, a new monument was dedicated at Veterans Memorial Park to the memory of those Atlantic Highlands native who died in service to their county. Peter Doyle, commander of the American Legion C. Eugene Allen Memorial Post 141, presided over the ceremony. Members of the American Legion post and Grand Lodge of Freemasons laid wreathes. As the roll was called for the fallen servicemen, an American flag was placed in their honor at the foot of the new memorial.
Bernard Frotton, a former Post Commander, was awarded an American flag that had been flown twice during missions in Iraq.
