The Atlantic Highlands Elementary School is raising money for tsunami victims with two fundraisers, according to the Atlantic Highlands Herald. Apparently the "gifted" kids thought it was a good idea to sell buttons with what looks like a tidal wave on it. I'm certainly no cop for the sensitive PC police but couldn't they have thought of a better button to sell? They are "gifted and talented" after all. This is like raising money for cancer by selling buttons with a picture of a tumor on it.
Jack Archibald takes the "Donoughue Administration" (his favorite phrase) to task for micro-managing Borough Hall and driving away talented town employees. There's also something about turmoil, again.
Councilman Carl Nolan takes the gloves off and responds to Archibald's claims of turmoil in a letter to the AH Herald:
The current openings in Borough Hall are a challenge, but all it really means is that the Mayor and the Personnel Committee - Councilwoman Ladiana, Councilman Fligor and myself - have to work even harder to rebuild the staff. But be sure that it will be twenty times more work than Councilman Archibald has put out for the Borough in the past couple of years.
Anyone want to bet Archibald retaliates in his next column? Stay tuned, same bat time, same bat channel. Same bat gripes week in and week out.
"I cannot think of anything untoward or even toward that I did in Atlantic Highlands. Maybe I could get elected or appointed to something there. Town wise guy, maybe?" George Severini confesses to past crimes in the Two River Times.

IF you can get out of the house, you're welcome to join us for a cold sierra nevada and warm chocolate chip cookies made with leftover almonds from a failed holiday recipe. Whatever you do, don't go to foodtown before the big snow. Borrow eggs from the neighbor. It's chaos over there.
Tonight you're also welcome to taste our pork tenderloin, barbequed on the porch and kissed with fresh jersey snow flakes. We're happy to share recipes for all of the above . . .
