By Jonathan Hart, Superintendent of Schools, and Anthony Tumolo, Supervisor of SEL and Special Projects At the Sept. 24 Board of Education meeting, the board voted to adopt district and board goals for the 2019-2020 school year. Both the district staff and the Board of Education have made social-emotional learning, including overall wellness and climate and culture a district priority. According to the Collaborative for Social and Emotional Learning (CASEL), “Social and emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which children and adults: 1. Understand and manage emotions (Self Awareness) 2. Set and achieve positive goals (Self Management) 3. Feel and show empathy for others (Social Awareness) 4. Establish and maintain positive relationships (Relationship Skills) 5. Make responsible decisions (Responsible Decision-Making) This year the district has continued to infuse these five core SEL

ng Cateri ble Availa

competencies into the daily lives of students through specific techniques and practices.

Supervisor of SEL and Special Projects, Anthony Tumolo, along with the assistance and support of many, including the district school counselors, have jointly led the charge to assist teachers in finding ways to infuse SEL in their daily instruction. Students at Readington Middle School participate in something called a connection circle. This restorative practice strengthens student-student and teacher-student relationships by building trust and empathy while establishing a sense of belonging. This creates a safe community conducive for learning. Students in the elementary buildings have a dedicated SEL period where they can fine-tune their social-emotional competence in a safe, supportive environment. These skills are applied throughout every facet of the school day. Organic, homegrown lessons are being created that are systemic, cohesive, and purposeful as they connect to the

Pasta Night Monday-Tuesday

specific culture, climate, and academic curriculum in each school.

Additionally, Whitehouse School conducts Town Hall meetings and Family Conferences, which over time has become part of the fabric of the school culture. Three Bridges School conducts monthly SEL assemblies that consist of teachers and students teaching the entire school community about what it means to have good character. Holland Brook School also has student-led character assemblies periodically throughout the school year. They also par-

ticipate in a buddy class program created by the school climate team, led by the School Counselor, Mrs. Barbara Pauley. A fourth and fifth-grade class is paired up and together they participate in a character based activity designed by the school climate team that connects to the character theme of the month. SEL is an important component of the academic curriculum, as it provides students with the social tools to feel connected with others. This is of increasing importance in the digital age where students are often con-

necting with others through online media. Additionally, this type of explicit instruction is intended to provide overall mental and physical wellness for the entire Readington School Family. Adolescent rates of suicide and physical illness are on the rise. This SEL work is critically important in combating these challenging issues because it forges a positive mindset rooted in resilience and compassion, while providing educators, parents, and students with healthy tools needed to thrive in an increasingly stressful world.

Readington Reformed Church Celebrates 300 Years

The Readington News • December 2019

Elders Karen Weber and Ken Iselin present an early history of the Readington Reformed Church.

By Susan Sohl In 1719, a group of Dutch and English colonists worshipped in a log cabin near the confluence of the North and South Branches of the Raritan River. On Sunday, Oct. 27, 2019, the public was invited to commemorate the 300th anniversary of this humble beginning for Readington Reformed Church, now located in

Readington village. After a celebration of history and music, a reception followed in the nearby Readington Volunteer Fire Department.

“Today we celebrate many gifts God has bestowed on our congregation, including this beautiful sanctuary, dedicated in 1865,” said Elder Karen Weber. “A church, however, is not a build-

ing.”

Ken Iselin, a 50-year member who manages the cemetery, buildings and grounds, added, “Before that first log cabin church was built, a lay reader and chaplain named Guilliam Bertholf visited faithful Dutch families.

He worked as a cooper who bent wooden planks into barrels. But colonists convinced him to travel to Holland for theological training. The church traces its roots to the Dutch Reformed Church, though its denomination became The Reformed Church in America.

Among the civic leaders that spoke about local and church history were former U.S. Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen and NJ. Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker.

Frelinghuysen’s ancestor, Theodorus Frelinghuysen, was the church’s first pastor. Zwicker spoke about the third pastor, Jacob Rusten Hardenburgh, a friend of George Washington and founder of Rutgers University. He spread seeds of freedom and equality in his sermons and

went on to ratify the Declaration of Independence and help compose our state Constitution.

While Dutch Reformed leaders wrote and signed our national declarations and constitutions, here in Readington black members were restricted to Civil War-era balconies and buried in the historic “Cherry Hill” segregated graveyard.

Only in the last 50 years did women gain the right to serve as ordained leaders—including the last two pastors. Janet Cole, the church’s vice president, told how Fannie Hazen Drew was one of Cornell University’s first 11 women, though she complained her professors considered her invisible. Wife of Readington’s longest serving pastor, Rev. Benjamin Van Doren Wyckoff, Fannie helped him serve the congregation from 1884 to 1929. Wilma Cole, one of the first female elders in the church’s denomination added, “Fannie was very visible here at Readington. She began a Bible study for women.

With 13 other women, Fannie began Readington’s Mission Society. It grew to 130 women members. Women like Fannie laid the groundwork for today’s women leaders.”

“Like our congregation, this building has been renewed and rebuilt, many times over,” explained the church’s 23rd pastor, Rev. Liz Estes. “When a terrible fire tore down their third building in 1864, they rebuilt the current and fourth sanctuary. In 1913, strong winds toppled the tower. They rebuilt it again. In 2007, the 22nd pastor, Rev. Cathy Gumpert oversaw a new sanctuary redesign. The tower was rebuilt once more in 2013.”

Readington Mayor Betty Ann Fort said the event’s theme: “Deeply Rooted in Faith – Growing in God’s Love,” highlighted the church’s efforts to build a caring community. In the past 27 years, the congregation has provided meals and shelter for women and children through the Family Promise non-profit, the only shelter for homeless families in Hunterdon County. Six times a year, for one week at a time, volunteers cook dinners, read stories, play games, and stay overnight with families seeking permanent homes.

An Old-World Christmas Eve Service, on Dec. 24 at 7 p.m., continues the 300th celebration of music and history.

RECENT VEHICLE THEFTS/BURGLARIES A MESSAGE FROM READINGTON POLICE Recently our police department has seen an increase in motor vehicle burglaries/thefts. The actor(s) are looking for unlocked vehicles to steal items that are left inside (cell phones, money, and other electronics). We have noticed that the actors have become more brazen. If they find car keys, they are stealing the car as well. LOCK YOUR VEHICLE. Items such as house keys and keys to other vehicles should not be left inside. Detectives throughout the state have investigated cases where the actors have made entry into garages and even into residences using the garage door openers and house keys that were taken from a vehicle.

The actor(s) are not just targeting Readington Township. They are targeting many municipalities along the Route 78 corridor. Our officers and detectives are working hard to apprehend the actor(s), but they need help from residents. If you see something suspicious in your neighborhood, call us. It is our responsibility and our job to respond to all suspicious persons or incidents. If you have cameras on your house, check them routinely and pass on anything that may be of value to our Detectives. You can email the Readington Township Police Department at info@readingtonpolice.org or call us at (908)5344031.

Things to keep in mind: • Lock your vehicle even when it is parked in your driveway.

•

Don’t leave personal items in your car (cell phones, laptops, purses and wallets).

•

Leaving your car unsecured in your driveway can also give suspects access to your home and other vehicles in your garage.

•

Report anything you feel is suspicious, as minor as it may be - it could be helpful to our detectives.

•

Check your home cameras for activity, an attempt could be helpful for detectives.

DECEMBER 1.

KEY POINTS OF EXECUTIVE (CLOSED) SESSION People have asked why the Township Committee or other Boards or Committees meet in Executive (Closed) Session. Most Township business is conducted in public meetings so that people can see how their government works and hear the results when elected and appointed officials vote on a matter before them. The New Jersey Open Public Meetings Act (NJSA 10:4-12) gives a public body the ability to go into Executive Session for some very specific reasons. The most commonly occurring reasons are explained here.

1. Any collective bargaining agreement, negotiations, terms and conditions with employees of the Township are considered confidential. Once agreement is reached, the contract or agreement is voted on in public.

2. Anything involving the purchase or lease of any real estate using public funds. This is to protect the content of negotiations so that the governing body cannot be outbid by a member of the public who learns of the price being offered. This is much like when a private individual is purchasing property—the price, terms and conditions are not disclosed until the contract is signed by all parties. Once a contract is negotiated to the satisfaction of both parties, it must be approved in a public meeting.

3. Anything that involves the employment, appointment, termination of employment, terms and conditions of employment, or promotion or discipline of any public employee in order to protect the privacy of that individual. The individual employee may request in writing that any of these matters be discussed in public session. Again, any action taken must be voted on in public session.

4. Any pending or anticipated litigation in which the Township is or may become a party to. This is to keep legal strategies confidential and to protect attorney-client privilege.

Before a public body can go into Executive Session, it must adopt a resolution in open session stating that it is going into Executive Session. Advanced notice beyond this is not required.

No official action can be taken in Executive Session. So when the Township Committee or other public body returns to open session, it reports on matters discussed in Executive Session and will vote in public on any action(s) to be taken.

of their meals and packed sandwiches for their day trips. The next stop was Cape Cod National Seashore where scouts spotted seals off Coast Guard beach and stopped to see the Nauset Light and Three Sisters Lighthouses, and the conservation efforts to reduce erosion at Herring Cove Beach. Scouts visited the Center for Coastal Studies in Provincetown, MA, finishing the day by cleaning up the beach at MacMillan Pier. Troop 1969 then went to Boston and hiked the Freedom Trail. Highlights of the tour included visiting the Park Street Church, the Old Granary Burying Grounds, the site of the Boston Massacre, Faneuil Hall, the Old North Church, Copp’s Hill Burying Grounds, and the square where Paul Revere started on his Midnight Ride. The scouts also climbed the 294 steps of the Bunker Hill Monument and explored the decks of the USS Constitution, the oldest commissioned warship in the world.

They stepped forward into history when they toured the USS Cassin Young to learn about the destroyer that engaged in seven Pacific battles in World War II and survived two Kamikaze hits.

The scouts ended their visit to Boston as the sun set by taking a water taxi from the Charlestown Navy Yard across Boston Harbor to the Boston Long Wharf.

Troop 1969 welcomes all boys ages 11 and up who are interested in adventure, outdoor appreciation, leadership, personal growth, and service. The troop meets at the Stanton Reformed Church on Tuesday evenings at 7:30 p.m. For information contact Scoutmaster Bill Wallace at flybywranch@comcast.net.

Alumni, current students, families, staff, WUMC members and friends of The Preschool of Whitehouse United Methodist Church celebrated on Oct. 27.

The Whitehouse United Methodist Church celebrated 50 years of the ministry of The Preschool of Whitehouse United Methodist Church on Sunday, Oct. 27, during the 10 a.m. worship service.

Alumni and current students, families, staff, WUMC members, and friends gathered and participated in this joyous celebration. Alumni students read the Scriptures – Matthew 19:13-15 and Proverbs 22:6. A slide show illuminated the Sanctuary with the preschool program in action.

Teenagers, preschool alumni and now high schoolers, joined the WUMC choir in the anthem “He Never Failed Me Yet” while current preschoolers sang “This Little Light of Mine” during Children’s Time. Chris Scheick, Preschool Director, shared a brief history of The Preschool accompanied by reflections from others. A reception immediately followed the service.

The Preschool was established in 1969 “to provide a loving, nurturing, safe environment in which all children are welcomed and

given ample opportunity to learn and grow.” It is estimated that hundreds of lives were impacted through the 50 years of this ministry.

In a letter to the congregation, a founding staff member applauded and credited “the support of each and every member of the Whitehouse United Methodist Church” in fulfilling this mission. During the service, preschool memories were placed in the offering plate and shared. A teen alumni student remembered “making food and show and tell” where another confidently shared that The Preschool “forged most of my friendships today.” An alumni parent noted how preschool staff “encourage, nurture, and help mold children to be the best versions of themselves” and “their contributions in making her son the man he is today.”

If The Preschool has touched your life in any way which you’d like to share, email memories to preschool@whitehouseumc.org.

Looking Back… Layers Galore in 1812 piece of the Empire style that had a waist band high under the bust line. Perhaps the lady was to go for a walk in which case she was adorned in a walking dress long with muff and hat (bonnet). Her walking dress was comprised of either short or long sleeves and was a bit shorter in length for ease in walking. If indeed she was to go out riding with a gentleman, a promenade dress was the call of the day - it would have been created of the finest material. Bonnets always covered the hair of fash-

Considering that all clothing was sewn by hand, just imagine the time devoted to creation of a suitable wardrobe.

On second thought, maybe the best resolution would be to return to the local department store and purchase a modern dress, after all we do have heated houses these days!

The Readington News • December 2019

By Stephanie B. Stevens Historian, County of Hunterdon Well, there I was in the local department store only to find myself somewhat surprised by the clothing of the day! Really, I had come to look for a dress to complement me for the family party - what was available? Looking for something plain and simple, made of good material, a tailored dress that might last for many more years - well, was I surprised! Today’s clothing certainly has few of the charming accents of yesteryear.

Ah me, I would have been more pleased should I have been able to just jump into the fashion of ladies’ choice of 1812. To start, ladies of that earlier time lived in an era of many layers of clothing, most of it necessary due to the lack of heat in one’s house. And New Jersey is cold these days as it was in 1812.

So we begin with the lady’s underclothing. Layer one consisted of a shift which was a shapeless cotton dress-like garment. Drawers (panties) came next, then stays which were indeed a corset with stiff bone pieces sewed into the garment. Of course this kept the lady standing straight - no slouching here. Next came the petticoat made of either cotton or silk and then stockings, pink or white and held up by garters. Lastly the dress called a gown, was settled over all of these garments. If the gown was to be worn around the house it would have been called a “dry dress.” Made of muslin with long sleeves, it was one
