Nobody is happier than former Atlantic Highlands Mayor Helen Marchetti that Winter Solstice is now passed and days will become longer, and sunsets will be later every day for the next six months.
Helen celebrated the event with a Winter Solstice Party with friends Muriel Smith, Kim Bruno and Vincent Vaccaro by blowing out the black candles on a cake to signify the end of short days Dec. 21, and re-ligthing the cake with white candles to celebrate bright and longer days are on the way.
