By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – Township officials held a special meeting on Sept. 4, to hear the public’s thoughts on the 2018 Monmouth County Municipal Open Space Grant Program project for Howell Township. The application proposes to revamp Soldier Memorial Park by constructing a multi-use building on the property. The new, multi-use facility would include permanent restrooms, a storage area, a concession stand with a kitchen, utility services (i.e. sewer, water, electric), an overhang to provide shade, and additional seating to supplement the benches already in place. The Monmouth County Municipal Open Space Grant

Program aims to “develop or redevelop land to expand recreational opportunities,” according to Kelsey Howard, grants and funding coordinator for Maser Consulting. Howard presented the project application at the meeting on behalf on the Open Space Grant program. Howard explained that the total construction cost will be $750,000, $250,000 of which would be covered by the grant.

Locals Lead Monmouth’s Opening Win

By Chris Christopher WEST LONG BRANCH - Ex-local high school players contributed to the Monmouth University football team’s 56-28 victory over Hampton University on Saturday at Kessler Stadium. Wide receiver Vinny Grasso, a graduate student out of Monsignor Donovan (now Donovan Catholic), scored one touchdown in the Sept. 8 game in front of an announced crowd of 3,092

fans. Tymere Berry, a redshirt junior defensive back from Toms River South, intercepted one pass and added three solo tackles and one assist as the Hawks evened their record at 1-1 with the non-conference win. Senior defensive back Matt Castronuova, a former Jackson Memorial player competing on special teams, turned in a touchdown saving

tackle. Freshman wide receiver Eddie Morales, of Howell, seeing action as a utility player, made two solo tackles and broke up one pass.
