Construction bids for Bordentown Township’s new municipal complex on the horizon
A presentation of the updated design of the new Municipal Complex to be built behind its current location was made at a Township Committee meeting in October. The buildings on two adjacent township-owned properties 795 (vacant restaurant purchased by the township) and 803 Farnsworth Ave. (a vacant residential home purchased by the township) have been demolished to start preparing the site for construction of the two-story facility. In August, the Township Committee awarded a demolition contract bid to Winzinger Inc. for $93,000.

Saving open space and history in one Big Bang
“Our whole universe was in a hot, dense state; Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started, wait; The Earth began to cool, the autotrophs began to drool …”. If you’re a fan of the Big Bang Theory television series, you probably can sing the rest of the show’s theme song lyrics – which explain, briefly and humorously, how the Earth and life began.

Don’t treat soils on preserved farms like dirt!
Think of a farm, and you may picture rolling fields with rows of vegetables, orchards of fruit and nut trees, and bucolic pastures with cows and sheep. But farms in the Garden State often include a whole lot more: roadside stands, greenhouses, corn mazes, hay wagon rides, markets selling everything from baked goods to gourmet cheeses, farm animal petting displays, tasting rooms for farm-made beer, cider and wine, and parking for all these activities.

Bordentown Regional High School Thespians to present ‘Trap’
Bordentown Regional High School Thespians to present the suspense thriller “Trap” by Stephen Gregg at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 20 and 21 at the Bordentown Performing Arts Center. In Menachap, Calif., an incomprehensible event occurs: every person in the audience of a play falls unconscious–every person but one. Using interviews with witnesses, loved ones, first responders, and the investigators pursuing the case, a theatre ensemble brings the story of the strange event to life, documentary-style. But as the strands weave together into an increasingly dangerous web, it becomes clear that this phenomenon might not be entirely in the past. Unnerving, exhilarating, and wildly inventive, there’s never been an experience quite like Trap.
