The Belmar Historical Society Museum opened after years of preparation and recovery from Hurricane Sandy. The museum, located in the annex of the Union Firehouse in Belmar, contains exhibits that take visitors through Belmar's history. It aims to preserve the town's history through artifacts and stories from residents. Additionally, the Bradley Beach PBA has filed a lawsuit against the borough and police chief claiming a policy allowing access to officers' personal cell phone records violates their constitutional rights. The Parker House in Sea Girt was also granted a seasonal liquor license by the borough council, with some conditions imposed.

“I hope that people who enjoy living in this town would like
to know more about how it came to be and what it is today. I hope

BRADLEY BEACH — The Bradley Beach Po-
licemen’s Benevolent Association [PBA]
Local No. 50 has filed a lawsuit against the
Borough of Bradley Beach and Police
Chief Leonard Guida, claiming a depart-
mental policy violates PBA members’ con-
stitutional rights.
The lawsuit was filed in United States
District Court, Newark Division, by PBA
attorney Marcia J. Mitolo, of the firm Lim-
sky Mitolo in Hackensack.
According to the lawsuit, a policy enact-
ed by Chief Guida in January 2014 allowed
him to search police officers’ cell phone
records for times when they were actively
on duty, which the lawsuit claims is a vio-
lation of the PBA members’ fourth-am-
mendment rights against “unreasonable
searches and seizures.”
The policy, as described in the lawsuit,
discouraged officers from using personal
cell phones while on duty, unless they had
requested permission from Chief Guida to
do so. According to the lawsuit, short,
Claims chief’s access to
personal cell bills is violation
of constitutional rights

BELMAR — After years of
preparation, collection, a ma-
jor setback in the form of a
hurricane and subsequent re-
covery, the Belmar Historical
Society Museum finally
opened its doors to the public
over the weekend.
Visitors poured into the
annex of the Union Firehouse
at 9th Avenue and E Street on
Saturday, April 11, to tour the
exhibits, journey through
time and view the hard work
and dedication of the Belmar
Historical Society [BHS].
According to Pat O’Keefe,
museum secretary, the build-
ing is 103 years old and was
constructed for multi-pur-
pose use when Belmar “first
became a town.”
“What the building incor-
porated was the firehouse it-
self, which is still a working
firehouse, and also the coun-
cil meeting room/court room
and, eventually … the police
station,” Ms. O’Keefe said.
“It’s a fairly small place but
we set it up … to give tours to
elementary school children,
for people to do genealogy
Had originally been set to open
days after Hurricane Sandy hit in 2012

Parker House.
That was the general consensus at last
Wednesday night’s council meeting, whether
residents were supportive of the establishment’s
entire operation, or felt some changes needed to
be made.

Mayor Ken Farrell and council members were
faced with a standing-room-only crowd at the
meeting, as masses of people from all over swept
the council chambers and hallways of Sea Girt
Elementary School, where the council meetings
are held.
On the agenda was a resolution to approve a
seasonal liquor license for Avon Hotel Corp.,
