MTPD Invites Community to Support PBA Local 124's 2nd Annual 9/11 Memorial 5K Run on Saturday, 9/10
|
|
|
|

Proceeds from the 5K will go to a memorial scholarship fund created in honor of late Middletown Township Police Department (MTPD) Detective Lieutenant Joseph Capriotti. As "keeper of the list" of the 37 Township residents we tragically lost on 9/11, Capriotti personally notified every single Middletown family who had lost a loved one that day. As a result of his response to Ground Zero, he contracted cancer and lost his battle in June 2019. The memorial scholarship fund was created as a way to pay tribute to the tremendous impact he has made to the families of the victims and to our community.
Registration is $30 for the 5K Run + Walk and $10 for the Kids' Race. Prices will increase on Friday, September 9th.Click HERE to register and for information about how you and/or your company can sponsor this event! |

Spotted Lanternflies Have Returned: Tips for How to Prevent the Spread and Report Sightings to NJDA
Spotted lanternflies are being spotted everywhere! This insect is a serious invasive pest that feeds on sap from over 70 different plant species. Spotted lanternflies can negatively impact our agriculture, economy, and everyday life through the honeydew they excrete, which eventually turns into mold.
The Middletown Health Department advises residents to kill and report them to the NJDA when spotted. The Middletown Health Department also encourages residents to utilize the NJDA's checklist for spotted lanternfly quarantine areas, in an effort to stop the spread. Click HERE to read the NJDA's checklist.
