BASEBALL PICNIC & MOVIE UPDATE... Since the weather will not give us a break, we are canceling the movie portion of our event. Instead, we are moving the award portion of the night to Vermeule at 6 pm. We will do the same as in the past. There will not be a charge. So start playing the song "let the sunshine in" and come on out for our traditional awards ceremony, hot dogs and end of season storytelling. And remember, when in doubt, the REC Hotline is updated each time we have an event that is affected by troublesome weather. That number is 756-0247. Please spread the word to all recreation participants that they are welcome. The Movie Night will occur some time in the summer when it’s DRY. Check the website in July and August for details.

The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) has asked that we remind you that the transition to digital television is set for June 12, 2009.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is providing walk-in clinics in the State for consumers who still need help preparing for the switch.

Clinics are scheduled at various sites around the state and more are being added. Currently, scheduled clinics are listed at: www.nj.gov/bpu/pdf/cablepdfs/DTVlinks.pdf. The BPU will update the web listing as additional clinics are scheduled.

On June 12th, all full-power broadcast television stations in the United States will stop analog broadcast service and transmit only digital signals. Consumers who do not subscribe to pay television services and have older, analog televisions will need to have digital-to-analog converter boxes attached to their televisions in order to continue receiving over-the-air television programming. They may also need to adjust or upgrade their television set-top antennas.

Learn about the Trans Hudson Express Tunnel:

"THE Tunnel" is a project which promises huge benefits for communities along the Raritan Valley Line railroad. Construction of the new Hudson River tunnel and related track and station improvements will permit a “one seat ride” into mid-town Manhattan and drastically cut commuting time. This has the potential to increase property values in those towns serviced by the rail corridor as they become more desirable to commuters. The project will also provide short term benefits in terms of creating new jobs and boosting our State’s economy. ...read more
