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 find how to donate in your area or better yet, to find out how to hold a blood
drive of your own, go to www.cjbcblood.org. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

MONMOUTH COUNTY – The Mon-
mouth County Division of Mental Health
and Addiction Services will present
“Emotional Healing from Sandy: Healthy
Coping Skills and Available Resources”
from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. on January 29 at the
Monmouth County Connection, 3544 State
Highway 66.
“Superstorm Sandy’s emotional wounds
will not be fully felt for months or years,”
County Satellite Of�ice
To Host Sandy Emotional Healing Workshop
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 certified 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 first 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 traffic 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ing equipment is outdated and replacement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 difficult to find,”
County Engineer Joseph M. Ettore, P.E.
said. “Addressing these maintenance issues
now will reduce the
disruption of vehicular
and pedestrian traffic
during the summer
months.”
The Rumson-Sea
Bright Bridge will be
open to marine traffic
during the upgrades.
“This work was
scheduled to begin
this winter,” said
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

“Addressing
these
maintenance
issues now will
reduce the
disruption of
vehicular and
pedestrian
traffic during
the summer
months.”
