HOWELL – Recently, Howell resident Gregory Debski donated his 100th pint of blood to the Central Jersey Blood Center. Turns out the center has about 20 people who have given over 100 pints, so he is not alone. Unfortunately, the Northeast has one of the lowest donor rates as a percentage of population so even with amazingly generous donations like this one, Central Jersey Blood Center can always use more. Contact the center to fi nd how to donate in your area or better yet, to fi nd out how to hold a blood drive of your own, go to www.cjbcblood.org. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

said Freeholder John P. Curley, liaison to the county’s Department of Human Services. “Our families, our children and our com-munities are damaged, and many homes, businesses and lives have been devastated. The workshop will help residents deal with the emotional effects of the storm.” Presented by licensed and certifi ed mental health practitioners, the workshop will cov-er available mental health resources; coping

skills; and the emotional impact at three months, six months and nine months. “This hands-on workshop is for every-one—parents, families, educators and health care professionals,” Curley said. “This storm is impacting us in ways we could have only imagined. Help is available to those who need it. This workshop is a good fi rst step to getting that help.”

MONMOUTH COUNTY – On or about January 28, Monmouth County will begin a project to upgrade the safety systems on the Rumson Sea Bight Bridge (S-32) that connects Rumson and Sea Bright. The work requires the closure of the bridge to vehicles and pedestrian traffi c during the estimated three-week work period that is expected to conclude on February 18, weather permitting. To perform these upgrades, the county will close the bridge’s roadway so the contrac-tor, IEW Construction Group, can replace safety gates and perform other upgrades and maintenance work. “This work is required because the exist-ing equipment is outdated and replacement parts are becoming more diffi cult to fi nd,” County Engineer Joseph M. Ettore, P.E. said. “Addressing these maintenance issues now will reduce the disruption of vehicular and pedestrian traffi c during the summer months.” The Rumson-Sea Bright Bridge will be open to marine traffi c during the upgrades. “This work was scheduled to begin th is winter,” sa id Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone, liaison to the county’s Department of Public Works and Engineer-ing. “This is the last of the four movable bridges to receive these needed upgrades. The county continues to work to keep its bridges in good working order and safe for travelers and the bridge operators.” This work is being performed under a
