Middletown Remembers 24th Anniversary of 9/11

Photo from ceremony

On Thursday, September 11th, Middletown Township held a silent memorial and wreath tribute at the Middletown World Trade Center Memorial Gardens (located next to the Middletown Arts Center, 36 Church Street) to honor the 37 residents we lost 24 years ago and the individuals who have passed since from 9/11-related illnesses.

The evening started with a beautiful performance on the bagpipes by Mike Hannigan. The Middletown Township Police Department's Honor Guard and members of the Middletown Township Committee, VFW Post 2179, and American Legion Post 515 officially began the ceremony with a wreath tribute. After the wreaths were placed, Middletown Township Fire Chief Anthony Fulciniti rang a bell 37 times in memory of each resident whose life was taken on that tragic day. 

After the bell tolled, hundreds of people, including 9/11 victims' loved ones, Township Committee members, local dignitaries, first responders, veterans, and community members, lit candles and walked through the Gardens which were illuminated by luminaries.

Thank you to everyone who participated in our poignant annual service. We promised to never forget 24 years ago, and our silent tribute was a testament to that vow.

Township Committee members, MTPD, EMS, and MTFD chiefs, Monmouth County elected officials, and Life Time General Manager Alex Armiento were proud to participate in this important fundraiser. 

On Sunday morning, first responders from the Middletown Township Fire Department (MTFD), Middletown Township Police Department (MTPD), and Middletown Township Emergency Medical Services Department (EMS) joined forces to raise funds for the Middletown World Trade Center (WTC) Memorial Gardens.

Every 30 minutes, first responders from the various organizations took to the stair climbers at Life Time (230 Half Mile Road) and walked 110 floors, symbolizing the 110 floors of the Twin Towers.

Many of the first responders chose to wear their heavy gear while walking, in memory of the first responders who entered the Twin Towers in their gear and never returned.

Several elected officials, including Mayor Tony Perry, Deputy Mayor Rick Hibell, and Committeeman Ryan Clarke, were also honored to step up to the challenge while wearing t-shirts that listed the 37 Middletown residents who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. Other first responders and elected officials, including Committeewoman Kimberly Kratz and Committeeman Kevin Settembrino, were there to cheer everyone on. The event was also livestreamed on the Township's YouTube channel and participants shared stories during interviews about their connections to 9/11. 

All proceeds from the fundraiser will be donated to the Middletown WTC Memorial Gardens Fund, a nonprofit dedicated to maintaining and enhancing the Gardens. Over $16,000 has been raised so far. Donations will be collected at middletownnj.org/wtc through the end of September.

Thank you to everyone who was involved in making this event a success. This fundraiser could not have happened without the staff at Life Time, the volunteers who participated, the family and friends who came to support, and our community who generously donated to this important cause.

Uncover the History of the New Jersey Loyalists with the MTHS on Tuesday, 9/23 at 7 PM

MTHS New Jersey Loyalists

The Middletown Township Historical Society (MTHS) will be launching its America 250 Speaker Series with "Patriots of a Different Name: New Jersey Loyalists" on Tuesday, September 23rd at 7:00 PM at the Middletown Township Public Library (MTPL). This event is free and will also be available to watch via Zoom.

During the American Revolution, New Jersey saw more battles and skirmishes than any other colony, particularly due to the partisan forces on both sides. The citizenry of New Jersey were staunchly divided, and those supporting the British Crown were just as patriotic and zealous as their rebel counterparts. 

Please join Andrew Dauphinee, Jerseyana Librarian at the New Jersey State Library, for a deep dive into one of the most important and effective provincial forces in the American Revolution: The New Jersey Volunteers. Andrew will discuss the history, military engagements, and notable figures, leaving you with a deeper appreciation for New Jersey’s role in the American Revolution.

Canvassing Map

Click on the canvassing map to view it in a larger PDF format.

CDM Smith, on behalf of New Jersey American Water (NJAW), started a door-to-door canvassing effort related to the Lead Service Line Replacement Program (LSLRP) in Middletown on Monday, February 3rd. The canvassing and internal inspections are currently taking place in the Lincroft Elementary School District and Middletown Village Elementary School District in Area 3 on the map above. 

All CDM Smith inspectors will wear co-branded (NJAW and CDM Smith) high visibility logo vests and will have NJAW-issued Contractor ID badges. Inspectors will introduce themselves and the program to property owners and will then ask to enter the home to inspect the water service where it enters into the home (typically in a basement or crawl space). 

The inspector will take exterior photos of the property and interior photographs of the service material and record the pipe material identified. Inspections generally take 15 minutes or less. At no time will residents be asked for money. Any customer that prefers to not have an internal inspection completed will be directed to alternatives to the inspections including self-reporting. 

The Middletown Township Police Department is aware of the canvassing. If you have any questions about LSLRP, please email njawlead@cdmsmith.com and LeadFreeNJ@amwater.com.
