Freehold school gets grant for doors
The borough school district's Board of Education has received a $3,654 safety grant from the New Jersey School Boards Association Insurance Group.
The money will be used to defray the costs of buying safety doors at the Freehold Learning Center, district Business Administrator Patric DeGeorge said.

Freehold woman files civil suit against cops
A Freehold Township woman who claimed police brutality by a Freehold police officer has fired her latest salvo: a federal civil suit.
Migdalia Irizarry and her teenage son have filed suit against Freehold, the borough's police chief Mitchell Roth, now-Sgt. Christopher Colaner, Patrolman Shaun Hobbs and various "John Doe" borough police officers and personnel, some of whom serve in a supervisory capacity.
The suit -- which calls for the officers and personnel to be banned from patrol duty and from making or assisting with arrests -- was filed in U.S. District Court in Trenton.
"The officers involved clearly violated the rights of my client by using excessive force," said Irizarry's attorney, Thomas J. Mallon of Freehold.
The suit is just the latest in an ongoing controversy that began after Irizzary and her son, then 15, were arrested in Freehold on Jan. 29, 2008.
Colaner initiated the motor-vehicle stop that evening and, says Irizarry, proceeded to hurt her and punch her son in the face.
The Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office closed its investigation into the allegations last year. Charges brought after an internal review were later deemed unsustainable.
Among the claims made in the suit are that Colaner, Hobbs and several other officers were retaliating against Irizarry and her son because she tried to report Colaner's "prior inappropriate demeanor" toward her during an encounter the day before. The officers also violated department policy by not recording the stop, according to the suit.
The suit also alleges that the borough, Roth and other supervisors failed to take corrective or disciplinary action against Colaner, Hobbs or other officers despite being aware of "numerous" episodes of misconduct against citizens.
The demands made by Irizarry and her son include: regular and consistent training sessions for borough police officers, and the implementation of a system for prompt, appropriate action against any borough officer who "engages in, teaches and/or condones falsely arresting, maliciously prosecuting, maliciously abusing process and/or using excessive force against citizens and/or arrestees."
Borough attorney Kerry Higgins did not return a call for comment Wednesday.

Another example of “the low lifes” trying to get a big bag of money at the taxpayers expense. All of the authorities found no cause for action against our GREAT POLICE FORCE. What were they doing in the area, why didn’t they cooperate with investigative authorities, looks to me as if they are the problem and should pay dearly… NO MORE FREE RIDES FOR THE “BAD GUYS” and their lawyers.

Freeholders were Born to Run– On Friday
We reported yesterday that Bruce Springsteen finished up his latest (and possibly last) tour in Buffalo this week. And we think that means he has more time to pop in on his old hometown--like, say, Friday?
