Freehold Raceway will once again be home to the annual Cane Pace, the first leg in the Harness Racing Triple Crown. Monday's race has a $300,000 purse.

The Freehold Regional High School District Board of Education symbolically voted down Assistant Superintendent Donna Evangelista's salary Monday.
The school board voted 4-3 in favor of Evangelista's 2010-11 school year salary, which remained unchanged at $151,556 because the district's central office staff agreed to a wage freeze.
However, because members' votes are weighted differently, the [...]
The epicenter of academic fraud–the Freehold Regional High School District–is at it again. The Board by municipal weighted vote, decided not to hire her. However, the Board secretary refused to disclose the results, which were obtained by APP reporter, Kim Predham. Kim determined by the weight of each vote that the disgraced Ms. (former Dr.) Evangelsita, did not get re-appointed!!!
This woman should have been terminated two years ago when the largest case of academic fraud was discovered, whereby 5 employees obtained and used towards their proffession, unaccredited degrees from online bogus diploma mill Breyer State University.
The monies that these people used in addition to legal fees and security fees, would have staved off many of the kids programs slated for elimination.
The News Transcript reported yesterday that enrollment in the Freehold Borough school district is up 43 students this year, tallying a total of 1,405 Borough munchkins expanding their minds at the town's three schools this year.

I hope the only route to be considered is the north-south route, the Freehold-Matawan route. A route that goes any other direction will not have sufficient ridership
Mark, that is not correct. The Matawan would not have as many daily riders as the Jamesburg route. The Red Bank will have the least amount of daily riders.
Faith Tabernacle Church, on Avenue A in Freehold Borough, will celebrate its 75th anniversary this weekend with a banquet in East Windsor.
