Ryan Smith is a Holmdel scout and a student at Colts Neck High School.
Holmdel Township now has a new menorah for its holiday display, thanks to Marlboro teen Ryan Smith. Smith, a member of Holmdel Boy Scout Troop 331 and a junior at Colts Neck High School, said he learned last year that the township was in need of a new menorah and decided to make it Eagle Scout project. "I immediately jumped at this opportunity and spoke with Ms. Deborah Dow from Holmdel Recreation to see if this was something that was possible for me to do for my Eagle Scout project," Smith said. After submitting his plan to his troop committee and the Monmouth council, Smith set out to fundraise by bagging groceries at the Shop Rite of Marlboro. Smith and his project team raised $900 for the menorah materials. "It was a long and arduous …

People all over the country are stepping up to find a stem cell donor for Marlboro resident Shira Klein.
People rarely think about smiling. Smiles are exchanged every day between coworkers, between students, between friends new and old. Some are big toothy smiles accompanied by laughter; some are fleeting and leave as quickly as they came; some take place entirely in one's eyes. Smiles travel hand-in-hand with hellos and goodbyes; they partner with handshakes and hugs; they live alongside happy news and offer comfort through challenging times. Even so, at the end of each day, one rarely thinks of smiles. And yet, the smile of a New Jersey mother has proved not only memorable, but contagious. So contagious, in fact, that people across the entire country are working endlessly to make sure she can continue sharing her bright smile. Shira Klein, …

Governor says schools should be open on days set aside for teachers convention.
Gov. Chris Christie said thousands of added workers from across the country are set to arrive in New Jersey, after he pressed utility companies to speed up repairs. Christie said he told chief executives of the state's largest utilities they must take extraordinary steps to step up restoration efforts. "I made it clear to them that whatever playbooks they had were to be thrown out because we've never faced anything like this before," the governor said. Governors from Ohio to Virginia dispatched repair crews to aid storm-ravaged New Jersey, Christie said at a briefing in Moonachie Thursday afternoon. President Barack Obama offered to fly utility crews and equipment to the state on military aircraft, Christie said. Federal emergency …

President Obama and Gov. Christie toured areas impacted by Sandy on Wednesday.
The federal government stands by New Jersey as it suffers in the wake of Tropical Storm Sandy, President Obama said Wednesday afternoon while visiting Brigantine alongside Governor Christie. Obama confirmed FEMA aid has already been approved for Atlantic County, and that restoration efforts will continue as long as needed. "We will not forget," Obama said. "We will follow up to make sure you get the help you need. There are 2,000 personnel from FEMA on the ground, Obama said. "They are talking to communities so people know how they can get the help they need," Obama said. "The important thing to know is that people can immediately start registering for emergency assistance. Now that you're safe, it's very important you know there's help …

Governor urges residents who ignored evacuation orders to leave if they can do so safely.
Barrier Island residents who ignored mandatory evacuation orders for Hurricane Sandy made a “stupid and selfish” decision, Gov. Chris Christie said. During a press conference in Ewing on Monday, the New Jersey governor urged those who stayed behind to get off the islands if they can find a way to do so safely. “You’re putting other people in harm’s way. There are already rescues going on. This is putting first responders in danger,” Christie said. High tide is expected to come in between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m., with the heaviest rains arriving around midnight before Sandy makes landfall, according to the governor. “When it comes tonight, we’re not going to be able to rescue you,” Christie said. “The flooding along the New Jersey coastline is …

A call-out for questions resulted in an overwhelming response from Holmdel Patch readers. Holmdel Mayor Patrick Impreveduto answers them here.
On Thursday, Holmdel Mayor Patrick Impreveduto sat with Holmdel Patch for one hour to answer questions posed by readers. Here are his answers. Question on Plum Lane: I read a statement in the press that the municipal budget for 2012 had been passed "without the sale of open space." Does this mean the Plum Lane Open Space has been taken off the market? -- Tony Orsini Mayor Impreveduto: It was never on the market. Remember, back in February when we discussed Plum Lane at that meeting, we gave the approval for the Township Administrator to look into the value, and that’s all we did. If we needed to sell it to solve our $3 million budget gap, then we would inform the residents in the community of the sale of the property. Question on sewers …

Holmdel Patch is launching a new feature: Names in the News.
