MIDDLETOWN, NJ - On Thursday, April 12, the Cemetery Sub-Committee of the Middletown Landmarks Committee met at the Middletown Township Public Library to discuss the restoration of the Applegate Cemetery located on Cedar Avenue and Burlington Avenue in Leonardo, and the Gulden Cemetery located on the border of Middletown and Holmdel near the Garden State Parkway, exit 114.

The meeting was attended by members of the Leonardo Citizens Committee, Karen Mitschele, Chairman of the Sub-Committee and the Girl Scout Troop 1242 Cadets, and members of the Gulden family, Fred and Daryl Gulden, whose family has lived in the Middletown area since 1642.

For the Applegate Cemetery the project will involve cleaning up the brush and removing trees. The tree removal will be done by the Boylen and Hafnagel Tree Companies of Leonardo. The gravestones in the Applegate Cemetery moved over the years, so they will have to be restored to their correct places in the cemetery, as well as having the names on the stones inscribed again. The Girl Scout Troop 1242 Cadets Sonia, Natasha and Emily will do the research for the gravestones of the Applegate Cemetery.

The project for the Gulden Cemetery will also involve the clean up of brush for its restoration.

Details: Category: News; Published: 09 April 2012

Atlantic Highlands and Shrewsbury, N.J. – Dr. Julie Page, owner of Page Chiropractic Wellness Center, celebrated a major expansion to her practice with a community-wide blood drive and open house recently. The Central Jersey Blood Center ‘Bloodmobile,’ a bus equipped with four beds that can accommodate 4-8 donors at the time, was on location. The event was intended to increase awareness of the positive impact that blood donations have on public health. “My practice is all about maintaining optimal health and about achieving total body balance,” noted Dr. Page, “plus I’ve always wanted to be involved in community service and thought a blood drive would be a good way to do that.” Twenty-six pints of blood were collected, according to Central Jersey Blood Center Donor Recruitment Manager Holly Thompson. “Dr. Page did a terrific job. When someone contacts the CJBC and agrees to chair a blood drive, we make abundantly clear that the responsibility is to provide donors. Dr. Page took that message to heart and mobilized the community in an enthusiastic and organized manner,” Thompson stated. She added, “Fifty percent of our blood intake is by mobile collections, and particularly around the holidays, it’s crucial that we import blood.”
