Middletown, NJ – On a recent early Saturday morning this May, Scouts from Cub Scout Pack 142, Middletown Village Elementary School, Middletown, joined members of the VFW 2179 and American Legion Post 515 at Fairview Cemetery in placing American flags at the graves of fallen servicemen and servicewomen in preparation for Memorial Day. “With the hectic schedules of families these days, we believe it’s more important than ever to give young citizens time to reflect on the sacrifices others have made for our country,” stated Amy DeSanctis, Cub Master of Pack 142. “Boys tell their den leaders these are the type of activities that make them the most proud. It’s our responsibility in Scouting to provide these opportunities.”

HOWELL, NJ – The Monmouth County Fire Academy graduated 56 firefighters from the Firefighter I program this week. Graduates were divided into two classes: Class 98 graduated May 21 and Class 99 graduated May 22. Both ceremonies were held at the Fire Academy on Route 33.
Graduates worked 188 hours over 30 sessions and received training in rescue, fire extinguishment, hazardous materials response, cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, electrical safety, and care of hoses, ladders and other equipment.
“Tonight, you become members of one of American’s greatest creations – organized firefighting,” Freeholder Director John P. Curley said in his address to Class 98. “Modern-day firefighting is much different. Not only is your equipment updated, but you are required to do so much more. You don’t just fight fires. You will be required to respond to all sort of emergencies, like first aid calls, traffic accidents, hazardous materials spills and, yes, even terrorist acts.”
