October 2020 - News and Announcement Updates

by mendhamtwpwebupdates＠lists.cit-e.net

It has been 240 days since the first reported case of COVID-19 in New Jersey. After eight months, I understand that we are all suffering from pandemic fatigue, but this virus has been waiting for us to get lax in our personal responsibilities. As we enter Halloween weekend, I want to remind everyone that our state is seeing an increase of new cases linked to small gatherings in private homes, where people are more likely to let their guard down. If you are celebrating Halloween this weekend, please do your best to keep your Halloween activities outside and maintain social distancing. The Mendham Township Recreation Department is hosting a Halloween Party tomorrow at Brookside Field from 1:00pm – 3:00pm. There will be games, music, a fire safety demonstration, and lots of fun for the entire family. We look forward to seeing you dressed up and ready for the festivities! Tomorrow night, trick-or-treating will take place in the Township from 4:00pm - 8:30pm. Please trick-or-treat in small groups and make sure that someone has a flashlight. For those putting out treats, please do your best to arrange your treats in such a way that they can be quickly and safely accessed without multiple pieces being touched. If you are trick-or-treating, do not approach a house that has their lights off, a sign posted that they are not participating or something taped across their door or walkway. Remember - no Halloween costume is complete without a face mask! On a different but related note, over the last few weeks there has been an uptick in burglaries and car thefts across Morris County. The 9pm Routine of locking your car, setting your alarms, and bringing all of your belongings in every night, needs to be a routine that you follow all day, every day. Just last week, Mendham Township Police responded to an attempted break-in during the morning hours. We live in a safe town, but crimes can still happen. I hope you have a fun and safe Halloween weekend. Looking forward to seeing your festive costumes and face coverings! Sarah Neibart Mayor, Mendham Township

Planning for the Holiday Season

by mendhamtwpwebupdates＠lists.cit-e.net

As we near the end of October, now is the time to start thinking about Thanksgiving and the broader holiday season. Some of us spend this time of year with extended family and friends while others might use this time to travel and get out of town. Unfortunately, due to the ongoing pandemic, our holiday observances cannot resemble years past. Many of us had hoped that by the end of the year we would be back to some semblance of normalcy; but as the state reports that new COVID-19 cases have doubled since last month and are now up as high as 1,000 per day, it has become apparent that this “new normal” will be our way of life for the foreseeable future. As the weather gets cooler, and more people gather inside, the risk of transmission increases. Many of the new cases are not coming from schools or businesses, but rather the State is seeing more and more family gatherings as sparks for these outbreaks. The Governor has recommended that households limit the number of people invited to holiday celebrations. This is not the year to travel to have extended gatherings indoors with out-of-state relatives, or to invite them to New Jersey. Additionally, we should do our best to keep our celebrations outdoors as long as we can. A couple of weeks ago, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shared that small gatherings are an increasing source of spread of COVID-19. CDC Director Redfield observed that in public, people are extremely vigilant, but tend to let their guard down in their own homes. We tend to struggle with believing that our family and friends can give us this virus. Like we do in public, we must adhere to public health guidelines to keep our loved ones safe. I know that we are all tired of COVID-19 and all of the precautions necessary to prevent the spread of disease and the restrictions that we have endured. However, as we approach the holiday season, now is the time to double down on social distancing, wearing face coverings, and practicing good hand hygiene. Have a good weekend, and stay well.
