Residents, businesses can help sponsor Recreation Commission events, like the upcoming Barbara Harris and The Toys concert.
Fans of the early '60s girl group The Toys—whose hits included "A Lover's Concerto"—will be anxious to hear the group perform at Watchung Hills Regional in February in a township-sponsored show. Bigger fans may even want to help underwrite the show, which is now possible after the Township Committee took steps to create the proper mechanisms to receive donations. Recreation Commission Director Eleanora Hermann said the township is hoping to find sponsors for the annual Yuletide Bonfire, as well as the concert, the spring Easter Egg Hunt and ongoing Recreation Commission projects—events that may be ideal for corporate benefactors. "This is a great opportunity for business to advertise," Hermann said. "In return they receive advertising in …

Thursday's date for Drew Nugent and the Midnight Society Big Band performance slated for 7 p.m. at the municipal complex has been reschedueld for next week, at the same time.

Joe Cerisano's "Music Under the Stars" performance was given under the ceiling lights of the Susie B. Boyce Meeting Room, Thursday, but that was fine with the singer. "Man, I just hate the hot weather," he told the audience of about 50 at the municipal complex. With two guest performers accompanying him, the trio alternated between Cerisano's original songs and classics, including The Beatles' "Norwegian Wood" and "This Boy," "All I Have to Do is Dream" by the Everly Brothers, Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine" and more. Cerisano's original songs included "Carbon Copy," a tribute to his coal miner father—featured in the video. The Music Under the Stars concerts, sponsored by the Recreation Commission, continue July 19, with Drew Nugent and …

Township's new basketball courts get littered—on first day.
Warren Township recently completed the repair of two basketball courts near the municipal complex, with new surfaces just waiting for players. But it didn't take long for someone to trash them up, according to Recreation Director Eleanora Hermann. "It's a shame. Yesterday the people who played left their drinking bottles on the ground when the cans were a foot away," she said. Hermann added soda spills and silly string cover areas of the courts. The township is hoping residents will help keep an eye out for the courts—"like a Neighborhood Watch," Hermann said. "The Township Committee and Recreation Commission are doing their best to improve the recreation areas in town, we need your help to keep them nice," she said. Help keep the courts…
