Middlesex County Announcements

Hot Cars Act: No Kids Left Behind Freeholder Director Ronald G. Rios, Sheriff Mildred Scott, Congressman Frank Pallone, Hackensack Meridian Health, and other supporters met to discuss the Hot Cars Act which would require vehicles to be equipped with safety technolo- gies to detect and alert a driver of the presence of children left behind in a vehicle. According to KidsandCars.org, already this year, 36 children have died as a result of being left behind in a hot vehicle. The proposed Hot Cars Act would help prevent these tragedies in the future.

At the recent ribbon cutting, Freeholder Director Ronald G. New Brunswick Performing Arts Center Rios joined his fellow members of the Board of Chosen Free- holders in welcoming the NBPAC to Middlesex County and congratulating the hardworking team that made this project possible. In addition to The George Street Playhouse, Crossroads Theatre Company, Rutgers University Mason Gross School of the Arts, and American Repertory Ballet, the building will also house The Arts Institute of Middlesex County which will bring top quality infrastructure and resources to the four resident organizations at this new facility and drive collaboration with arts organizations across our County to focus on providing residents with access to vibrant arts programming. “On behalf of The Board of Chosen Freeholders, we cannot wait to see what the future holds for this space which represents the best that Middlesex County has to offer; a space where Art Meets Culture: to educate, to inspire, and to col- laborate,” said Freeholder Director Rios in his remarks.

At the September Crafts Fair Many residents came to see the detailed crafts in the ballroom on September 22. Everyone was very impressed with the quality of the arts created by our very own talented GW neighbors. There were excellent exhibits of jewelry, needle- point, 3-D cards, pins, crocheting, embroidery, stained glass, miniature replications, tie-dyed fabrics, paintings, baby gifts, knitting, diamond art, 3-D artwork, woodwork, and paper ma- chete sculptures.

Now, 14 years later, she’s as much a mess as the mansion she shares with husband and daughter. Bernadette is depressed, manic, and careless -but this isn’t a “serious issue” story.

(Township Middle School) Please join us on Sunday, November 17 for our winter performance – “A World of Song”. It will be held at the Marasco Performing Arts Cen- ter (Monroe Twp. Middle School on Perrineville Rd.) Doors open at 1:15 pm – Per- formance begins at 2 pm Every culture in the world has its own music that is enjoyed by all ages on every continent. Although each culture is different, music unifies all and has been used throughout history for different occasions and for enjoyment. Music is something to be shared that it is unifying because people can relate to the songs and feel inspired by them. Music is incredibly inti- mate and allows all people to convey a message of emotion that they may not be able to communicate with their words. Although most people have their own preference on the type of music they enjoy listen- ing to, we can agree that the tunes are an important part of life.

The Sherlock Holmes Club By Paul Hartnett October’s short story, “The Adventure of the Creeping Man”, features one of Sherlock Holmes’ most fantastic and macabre cases. As such it is a perfect fit for discussion with Halloween approaching. Trevor Bennett arrives at Baker Street seeking Holmes and Watson’s help with a bi- zarre problem. Bennett works as secretary to Professor Presbury, a distinguished university scholar. We learn that the professor is engaged to be married to a much younger woman. Bennett reports that upon returning from a two- week trip to Prague, the professor began acting strangely. He became “furtive and sly” and his own beloved dog attacks him! Strange mail soon arrives, with a cross marked under the stamp, which Ben- nett is forbidden to touch, along with a small wooden box the professor brought back OCTOBER 2019 – PAGE 14 GREENBRIAR AT WHITTINGHAM VOICE

Monroe Township Public Library to Donate Fidget Quilts

They call them fidget quilts, twiddle muffs and comfort mitts. Quilts that keep idle, often lonely hands busy are popular among patients with Alzheimer’s. The quilts typically feature items such as zippers, buttons, bows, jewelry and elastic, which are meant to provide tactile stimulation. People living with dementia often fiddle with objects like buttons. The quilts help evoke memories for some people. Some are designed as a knit- ted tube, more of a muff than mittens, they are decorated with odds and ends like buttons, bells and ribbons. The idea is for the wearer to have something with which to fidget. Drop in to the Monroe Town- ship Public Library on Satur- day, October 5 between 1 and the event.
