An Actual Sunset

After the recent rainy June, I was moved to photograph an actual Sunset:

For HNJJ readers not from this area, these pictures also show that Central Jersey has fields, trees, and, in the distance, the Sourland Mountains.

Hillsborough Baseball League

April 18th, 2009, was Opening Day for the Hillsborough Baseball League at the Willow Road baseball fields.

While some of us need a little one-on-one help...

some already know the game...

Additional photographs, taken by Susan Gulliford, may be viewed here. Due to the large number of pictures, they have been reduced in size to view online.

Vote!

Today is the election for two three-year seats on the Board of Fire Commissioners, the proposed $1.5 million budget, and two additional spending questions regarding updated radios and a new fire truck.

The information provided on the Township website is pretty sparse, but at least it provides the time (2 p.m. to 9 p.m.) and locations for voters.

The Hillsborough Beacon's article tells you everything you should know before voting.

The Courier has a story this morning covering fire commission elections in districts across at least three counties, but, as usual, finding the article online just wasn't worth the work required...although I did find a brief commentary.

Even if you don't have a real interest in the specifics, it's nice to show our volunteer firefighters that you are interested in them and the work they do. And voting on budgets gives you the right to grouse later.

Regarding the proposed purchase of a fire truck by Hillsborough and Neshanic Fire Company (Branchburg): Congratulations to our fire companies on sharing equipment without going through all the politics and who belongs to what party...etc.

HEBDC Business Social

The 11th Hillsborough Economic and Business Development Commission Business Social was held on January 20th at CoccaLa Restaurant. It's obvious from the growing attendance numbers that these meetings are becoming more popular and providing useful information and networking opportunities for local businesses.
Following dinner...

EBDC Chairman - and local business owner - Shawn Lipani welcomed the members:

Mayor Frank DelCore spoke about the Economic Action Plan...

The guest speaker for the evening was Robert Loderstedt, President of NJ Manufacturers Extension Program, Inc. (NJMEP)...

Paul Ritz and artist Doreen Lorenzetti spoke about the Hillsborough Historical Mural project...
Township Business advocate Gene Strupinsky and Shawn Lipani presented a plaque to CoccaLa Restaurant thanking them for hosting the HEBDC meeting...
As usual, local businesses were generous with their door prizes.
