CLINTON TWP. -- Officials awarded raises to township employees last night, but
it was the Police Department that got most of their attention.
Patrolman Michael Hafke -- the well-liked High Bridge resident who served in Iraq
as a member of the National Guard and who battled multiple myeloma for two years after returning to the department -- was
promoted to the rank of sergeant. Police director Robert Manney, fellow police officers and council members burst into applause
after he took his oath.
