Message from Mayor Madden: Making the Most of Spring
I guess this is as good an opportunity to make an announcement in which most residents are now aware.
As we move further away from the social shackles of the pandemic we are at once inspired, even motivated, by an early glimpse of spring. For me there is a real sense of renewal and revitalization from all the hardships and life-altering tribulations as a consequence of this scourge.
Some enjoy the exhilaration of opening day baseball, others wait for the advent of the arrival of crocuses, still others look forward to the preparation and enjoyment of outdoor activities. The common theme here is that we all have our own personal “carpe diem’ event, and now is the time to accomplish it.
This overarching thread is so much more significant to each of us now compared to years ago and probably for many decades to follow due to Covid. Let’s make the most of it and enjoy.
A Difficult Decision
I guess this is as good an opportunity to make an announcement in which most residents are now aware. After much deliberation and discussions with my wife, I have decided that I will not seek a second term as mayor. This was a difficult decision considering the many accomplishments that were made during my term. The difficult task of reassembling the broken pieces left by my predecessor when I started including all the effort and time spent in achieving such industry was daunting. I have been rewarded to have worked with such a great and supportive staff among others. Myself and our council have been working diligently to make quality decisions for the benefit of our residents. Our Police Department has delivered a wonderful quality of life to us, our “Hallmark” town.
The most significant reason for not running is that we have recently (now 7 months) acquired full permanent custody of our grandson, Tanner. He just turned 5 years of age and is faced with a multitude of issues including cerebral palsey, spinal stenosis, hip displeasure, a shunt in his brain due to brain bleeds some visual issues, a feeding tube among other challenges. He doesn’t walk and is non-verbal. To date he has endured 11 serious operations with more on the horizon. He is truly a fighter.
““An optimist is the human personification of spring.””
Barbara and I feel privileged to have this opportunity to provide as nourishing an environment for the little guy as much as possible. We can appreciate what other parents (and grandparents) must deal with each waking day.
I plan on continuing to participate in some capacity in town. I will provide more information regarding my time in office, so stay tuned. Thank you all for your support most of all.
Enjoy your spring.
Mayor John L. Madden

Mosquito Control 2023: What You Should Know
Our Health Department directs your attention to the important service provided by County mosquito control and how their work impacts each of us as local residents.
The Middlesex County Mosquito Extermination Commission and the American Mosquito Control Association (AMCA) help educate the general public about the significance of mosquitoes in their daily lives and the important service provided by mosquito control workers throughout New Jersey and the United States.
Mosquito control is everyone's responsibility; please do your part by preventing mosquito production on your property. In compliance with section 9.10 and 9.1 S of the New Jersey Pesticide Control Code (N.J.A.C. Title 7, Chapter 30), the Middlesex County Mosquito Extermination Commission (MCMEC) may be applying mosquito control products for the control of adult mosquito populations on an area-wide basis, as needed, throughout Middlesex County during the period of May 1st through November 30th.
The mosquito control products/insecticides used will be those recommended by the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station (NJAES), Rutgers University, for the control of adult mosquitoes which include:
Malathion (Fyfanon® ULV, EPA Reg#279-3539)
Etofenprox (Zenivex® E4 RTU, EPA Reg#2724-807; or Zenivex E20, EPA Reg#2724-791)
Prallethrin - Sumith rin (Duet™ Dual-Action Adulticide, EPA Reg#1021-1795-8329)
Deltamethrin (DeltaGard ® EPA Reg#432-1534)

Kristy Nicole Garcia-Brito
“Our Library staff and Board are devastated about the sudden and tragic loss of one of our Circulation staff members, Kristy Garcia. Kristy was always the sunshine in the Library and has been a dedicated part of our Middlesex Library family since she was 16. Our Board President said it the best, 'Kristy was small in stature, but she had a huge heart and a huge personality to go along with it. She was a favorite of her co-workers and loved by everyone. You could not know Kristy without just loving her. I know she will be missed by all of us who knew her.' "
Lemoyne K. Moslak, Sr.
“He will be remembered not only as a Captain of Pierce Fire Company, Middlesex, NJ, but also a devoted family man and great friend.”
Lemoyne was also an Ex-Chief of the Middlesex Fire Department.
Mayor’s Message: Transparency, Part 2 – OPRA (Open Public Records Act)
Originally known as the “Right to Know Law,” this important State statute allows greater public access to government records as a check and balance for citizens…
Originally known as the “Right to Know Law,” this important State statute allows greater public access to government records as a check and balance for citizens who wish to inspect, copy, or examine such documents for whatever purpose may interest them. Personal information and privacy safeguard protections are strictly honored and respected. As a matter of fact, public law dictates that a public agency (a municipality in this case) entrusted with such personal information has a distinct responsibility and obligation to protect said disclosure of a citizen’s reasonable expectation of privacy.
In municipalities, the borough clerk is the custodian of a government record. This process starts out when a citizen (a requestor ) wants to gain access to a government record while invoking the OPRA statute. This law provides a statutory right to access such a document. Thereafter, the custodian is held to a response deadline to produce the document. The response should be no later than seven days providing the document is available. Also, other circumstances may prevail triggering a request by the custodian for an extension. In addition, a records request under OPRA cannot be made verbally.
What constitutes a government record?
Any paper, written or printed book, document, drawing, map, plan, photograph, microfilm, data, or image-processed document, information stored or maintained electronically or by sound recording or any copy thereof that has been made, maintained or kept on file. An important take away is that an OPRA request must be submitted to the public agency that maintains physical custody of the requested record.
If there are fees associated with a request, the custodian will contact the requestor regarding the specific cost and instructions of how to pay the fee.
The custodian may either deny an overly broad or unclear request or seek further clarification of the request. A request for clarification must be in writing by the custodian within seven business days of the receipt of the request. However, the response time stops until the requestor provides a response to the custodian.
What if there is a government document that is “blacked out?”
Under OPRA, some information contained in said document/record may be non-disclosable, in which case should be redacted (such as a social security number or driver’s license, unlisted phone number, etc.) Redaction means editing a record or document to prevent public viewing of material that cannot be lawfully disclosed.
“It is the first responsibility of every citizen to question authority. ”
In the spirit of transparency, I have provided a rudimentary understanding of the OPRA process. This is probably the most efficient method to obtain information of what government is doing. Your participation is crucial in promoting honest government.
I thank you as we welcome spring.
Thank you,
Mayor John L. Madden
Aqualytes Synchronized Swimming Team is One of a Kind
Fresh off of their 50th Anniversary, the Aqualytes Synchronized Swim Team is a recreational team that is inclusive of all genders ages 5-17 with basic to advanced swim skills.
The Aqualytes are unique in that they are the only Synchronized Swimming Team in New Jersey!
Fresh off of their 50th Anniversary, the Aqualytes Synchronized Swim Team is a recreational team that is inclusive of all genders ages 5-17 with basic to advanced swim skills. Synchronized swimming combines elements of dance, swimming, and gymnastics. All swimmers must be members of the pool to join the team. There is a fee to join the team. Please contact the Team Coaches with any questions: middlesex.aqualytes@gmail.com
Visit their Facebook page: Middlesex Aqualytes
Instagram: Middlesex.Aqualytes
From our Coaches: Middlesex Aqualytes is a recreational team. Synchronized swim is almost like a dance routine, however, in the water. Team members are taught different arm and leg movements, called “figures,” matched up with designated music. Team members are put together in groups to perform. It is not as hard as it sounds! Each year we pick a theme for the season such as Decades. Children as young as five can join and they love the team! We put the music and swimming together and have an amazing, non-competitive performance at the end of the season!

Learn What to Do in a Cardiac or Stroke Emergency
Do you know CPR or what to do in a cardiac arrest or stroke situation? Your neighbors do, thanks to the OEM/Library series, “You are the Help Until the Help Arrives," taught by the amazing staff of MedicZero Inc.
March and April 2023: BYSTANDER, HANDS-ONLY free training programs
Do you know CPR or what to do in a cardiac arrest or stroke situation? Your neighbors do, thanks to the OEM/Library series, “You are the Help Until the Help Arrives," taught by the amazing staff of MedicZero Inc.
In the United States, less than 50% of individuals who go into cardiac arrest in public are given CPR before emergency services arrive.
In response to the growing need for CPR literacy, Middlesex Office of Emergency Management (OEM) and Middlesex Library continue to offer *free* bystander CPR and Stroke recognition classes to ALL Middlesex residents ages 13 and up!
Since its inception in 2022, the OEM/Library program, “You Are the Help until Help Arrives”: Free Training Programs for Bystander Emergency Preparedness,” has trained over 200 Middlesex Borough community members. Those numbers will continue to grow, with two new program sessions offered this spring:

Bystander Hands Only CPR and Stroke Recognition
Tuesday, April 18, 2023

Library Community Room
Download the program flyer (pdf)
All classes are free and limited to Middlesex residents only
Ages 13 yrs and up
Advance registration is REQUIRED
Classes can accommodate up to 55 participants
First come, first served
Snacks will be served
Training is provided by MedicZero, a nonprofit organization of college medical students across the country. With the guidance of board certified and FACEP designated physicians, Medic Zero “seeks to enable bystanders with the confidence to recognize emergencies and initiate care, encourage the delivery of skillful, evidence-based care by providers, and construct community paramedicine initiatives to improve the prehospital landscape.” (https://www.mediczero.org/our-vis)
Feedback from the five emergency preparedness classes that have been offered through this OEM/Library program has been overwhelmingly positive.
“I attended their class in December and highly recommend everyone take this CPR class. The recent injury and recovery of Damar Hamlin is a great example of what can happen if someone is aware of how to use CPR to assist someone who has suffered cardiac arrest. 13 year olds are permitted and I encourage them to attend as well. I am recommending this training to everyone I know!”
“The CPR training class was very informative. I have never taken a hands on CPR class, even though I graduated with a Health Science Degree. Everything was well explained, and presentation was good.”
“Thank you for offering this very much needed course. The presentation and the presenters were wonderful and we loved that there was hands on at the end of the course.”
“This program is another great example of the value that our OEM continues to bring to our residents. I was particularly impressed with the MedicZero team who provides the training. Lastly, a big thank you to our OEM and our Library for collaborating on hosting this program.”
You are the help until help arrives
For every minute that a bystander does not administer CPR, a cardiac arrest victim’s chances of survival decrease 10%. YOU can change that. YOU can be the hero your neighbors, friends, and family need when a cardiac disaster strikes.
Your neighbors know CPR. Shouldn’t you? Register for one of these seminars today. Questions? Email bbenson553@yahoo.com or call the Middlesex Library at (732) 356-6602, ext. 4.
* Participants under 18 must provide written Authorization of Parent/Guardian
Pool Logo Contest Winners Announced
We are excited to announce that we have chosen a logo for the Pool. Congratulations to John Sousa and Katrina Alcalde as our Logo Contest Winners!
Logo Contest
We are excited to announce that we have chosen a logo for the Pool! Thank you to everyone that submitted entries for the contest! This is the first logo in the Pool’s 50+ year history!
The original logo entry was submitted by John Sousa, a Middlesex resident. The logo was then presented to the Middlesex High School Visual Arts Club for further enhancement. It was a very exciting project for the students! We received many great logos from the students and narrowed down the final logo to one that was created by Katrina Alcalde. Katrina is a Sophomore and in her second year in the Visual Arts Club. Katrina’s submission was adopted as our final logo. Congratulations to John Sousa and Katrina Alcalde as our Logo Contest Winners!
Thank you to MHS for your assistance in re-creating the official logo for the Middlesex Community Pool. A special thanks to Mr. Dow, Visual Arts Club teacher, for his hard work and guidance with the students to bring this project and final logo to fruition.
Mayor’s Message: Transparency and Public Meetings (Part 1)
Residents will from time to time inquire about a problem, issue or circumstance of their concern. Unfortunately my reply may ask, why did they not go to the public hearing to voice their viewpoint or issue?
Over my term as your mayor and reflecting back on my years on council, residents will from time to time inquire about a problem, issue or circumstance of their concern. Unfortunately my reply may ask, why did they not go to the public hearing to voice their viewpoint or issue?
Our governing body is tasked under rigid laws and rules to scrutinize every issue brought before them in the public forum. The various agenda and other items are reviewed through careful consideration and deliberation while engaging in the due diligence process. Surprisingly, few residents show up for these meetings (as well as our Joint Land Use Board among other meetings). Is this an anomaly or plain apathy?
Being asked about allowing two-family housing next door to a residential zone, road paving on my street or the status of Creighton Lake water quality harkens back to these issues being covered and voted upon in past meetings. Since all residents have full access to our public meetings, many questions would be answered.
Rules of Decorum
Those wishing to address our governing body must first come up to the microphone and be recognized by the mayor.
State your name and address.
Speak in a respectful manner.
Comments may be limited to several minutes until all have spoken. More time may be given depending on circumstances.
Questions may be asked for clarification by the speaker.
Council members should refrain from getting into a Q and A dialog as this is a public comment period. The mayor will use discretion to answer questions at the meeting or elect to seek further review then respond to the speaker at a later date by email, phone call or a follow up at a subsequent meeting.
Understanding the Process
According to N.J. State Statute, notice must be given to all scheduled public meetings at least 48 hours in advance regarding time, location and agenda. Understanding the process of how to participate and what to ask in a public forum is simple as you can see. Your participation will lift the veil of apprehension on important topics.
Please remember, as much as you want your question answered and voice heard, we also want to hear from you. Keeping informed allows all concerned to provide efficient deliberations which will lead to a favorable conclusion and vote. This is the best format to keep informed (not social platforms). Communication is the key. Please note that we all live in town, we all pay taxes and probably have similar concerns.
As a matter of fact, this is so important a topic to preserve our national form of government trickling down to a local level, the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) has put out a bulletin with much related information entitled: “Guide to Participation in Council Meetings.“ Public meetings promote the various stakeholders to come together to share their concerns, issues and viewpoints or just for information gathering.
Reviewing the available agenda beforehand may trigger an important point which may need to be discussed before us. There may be a specific agenda item on a topic reflecting how payment of a capital item will be paid and expensed for instance. The governing body must be prudent as to how we spend our tax dollars. Again, this is all about communication as we must balance wants and needs. Well managed municipalities provide easy access for issues within the community with collaborative decisions and policy.
The bottom line is that this process will ultimately build a trusting sense of cooperation and community.
Thomas Jefferson stated in his many letters regarding this topic, “involving the public will ensure that their ideas and concerns are thoroughly considered resulting in better decisions.“
Thank you,
Mayor John L. Madden

Mayor's Message: Winter 2023
From the desk of Mayor John L. Madden, a summary of Borough news for January/February 2023…
A New Year and a Snowless Winter
Who could ever imagine that a record has been set for a total lack of the white stuff? To the dismay of snow removal folks and school kids looking forward to a few days off this season, our small business owners are grateful that despite inflation, supply chain interruptions and personnel hiring problems, this has been somewhat of a bright spot.
Borough Administrator
However, within these hallowed halls, the new year brings a welcome addition to Borough operations with the hiring of Michael LePlace as full time Business Administrator. A well-seasoned professional, I believe he will bring his administrative acumen to handle the projects and challenges that Joe Costa, our Interim Business Administrator has been doing. I want to thank Joe for the extraordinary job he has been doing especially handling his many other duties. I know he is really looking forward to his well- deserved retirement along with his wife, Nancy.
The Backyard Bonfire
Fond memories abound as I harken back to my high school football games. As a member of our marching band at North Plainfield High School our biggest rival was South Plainfield High School where the traditional game was played every year on Thanksgiving Day. The centerpiece on that day was the bonfire. Such a conflagration added luster to the rivalry.
So, leave your marshmallows home and please join us for the Middlesex Borough Backyard Bonfire at Mountain View Park on Saturday, February 25, 2023 from 2-7 pm. The event is hosted by our Recreation Department with the participation of MegaBites where tickets may be purchased. Read more about this event on our website here.
Community Day
Another popular event is our traditional Community Day celebration. Unfortunately, this event was suspended in the past due to Covid concerns. Since things are opening up in the Borough, we can now look forward to the new year with planned activities in our new normal. There will be exciting things for everybody including vendors, restaurants, local bands, food trucks and tons of activities for the kids. The date is Saturday, June 3, 2023 at Mountain View Park from 1-8 pm. So mark your calendar for these two spectacular events.
The Presbyterian Church
We are awaiting for the phase 1 environmental report regarding the Presbyterian Church acquisition. The Phase 1 site assessment has recently concluded. We are hoping that there is good news for us. This site will be the new site for Recreation and our Seniors. The American Rescue Fund Grant will cover most of the purchase.
Council President
Lastly, I want to commend our new Council President, Mr. Michael Conahan for the superlative job he has done for his brief time on the council. The goal of a council president is to disseminate all information received from the mayor, business administrator and clerk to the council members in the pursuit of efficient communication. This process puts everybody on the same page, opens up the flow of ideas for deliberation at council meetings and minimizes challenges in handling subsequent projects and goals. I wish him much success in the future.
Thank You,
Mayor John L. Madden
