Beating death four times, Bryan Mueller and his Cupcake Wars partner Leigh Mulvihill aim to make life as sweet as possible for others in need of a second chance.
Before he reached the age of 17, New Milford's Bryan Mueller had four brushes with death.

Before he reached the age of 18, Bryan underwent nine surgeries and nearly died four times.

Multi-purpose field to be shared by the schools and the town
The Athletic Field Committee recommended to the Mayor and Council Monday night that the David E. Owens Middle School is the location best suited to support a new multi-purpose field. This field would be a shared service between the borough and the New Milford Board of Education. Headed by Director of Recreation and Board of Education member John Bigger, the committee was appointed by Mayor Ann Subrizi to scout areas that could support a multi-purpose sports field after Hurricane Katrina and tropical storm Lee flooded the fields and prohibited New Milford sports teams from playing early fall home games. The committee is comprised of townspeople, Superintendent of Schools Michael Polizzi, representatives from the Board of Education, NMHS …

The top three students received special recognition. Sarah Murch read 30 books and Tara Levine read 35 books and each received a gift card to Barnes and Noble. The top reader, Karina Dsouza, read 45 books and received a Kindle donated by Mrs. Perro, principal. The Language Arts teachers helped serve the ice cream and pass out the certificates.
