years ago is still going strong, as the TriBoro First Aid Squad proudly serves the Bloomingdale community and beyond, including Butler and Kinnelon. Along with the Tri-Boro First Aid Squad and Mayors, others in attendance to applaud these individuals included members of the local police force and area firefighters as well as Officers of the New Jersey First Aid Council, 17th District and members of squads from the surrounding neighborhoods. It was a meeting of like-minded, community-focused men and women who appreciate and rely on the Tri-Boro First Aid Squad’s exemplary service and dedication, something that

began back in September 1939. Tri-Boro First Aid Squad has come a long way since its start. But over time, what was originally called the Butler First Aid Squad has flourished, having responded to more than 100,000 calls since inception. Today, there are close to 50 dedicated members who make up the Tri-Boro First Aid Squad who devote their time, efforts, and energy towards bettering the community, call by call, case by case, 24/7. Area residents are served by three stateof-the-art ambulances and a Captain’s rig. “We’re pleased to announce Columbia Bank has just approved a grant to the continued on page 2

Stroke Prevention Screening in Pompton Lakes

he Pompton Lakes Health Department, in conjunction with Chilton Medical Center, is offering a Stroke Prevention Screening on Sat., May 4h from 8:00 a.m.10:00 a.m. at the Pompton Lakes Municipal Building, 25 Lenox Avenue in Pompton Lakes. There is a $10 fee per participant and credit cards are not accepted. Space is limited and appointments are required. For more information or to make an appointment, call 973-8350143 ext. 235. This screening will

help identify if you are at-risk for stroke and provide health education as to how to reduce your risk. The stroke prevention screening includes a blood cholesterol screening (which includes Total HDL), glucose level screening, blood pressure screening, pulse and BMI assessment and health education counseling. You can greatly reduce your risk of having a stroke through awareness and lifestyle changes. The health department and Chilton Medical Center encourage you to take this low-cost screening opportunity.

Squad, Information Officer. A priceless gift that will go the extra mile. With the guidance and inspiration of today’s members as well as those who have served and saved lives over the rich 80-year history of the TriBoro First Aid Squad, community members would give their friends, family, and neighbors a great gift by joining as well. “Residents of three towns who hold current EMT cards can join for a short period of time as probationary members and then become full members, or interested individuals can attend a yearly First Responder Course which is taught by our own teachers. Upon graduating that course, they become probationary members but must take an EMT course to become full members.” Warren said. Being a member is not only

personally rewarding, but potentially lifesaving for others in despair. Tri-Boro First Aid Squad is proud to congratulate the top three members responding to the most calls. Dianne Boylan responded to an impressive 320 calls, Alysha Futcher to 264, and Jason Hammaker to 252. 2018 saw five lives saved thanks to CPR, with three saves by Alysha Futcher and Jason Hammaker, 2 saves by Michael Johnston, and one save by Lenny Hasson and Sarah Cochran. “A heartfelt thanks to these exceptional individuals who have impacted lives significantly.” Warren said. 80 years of stellar service is an amazing achievement to applaud. The community salutes these brave and selfless men and women for their endless efforts and commitment to excellence.

Since 1914, the Bloomingdale Police Department Has Kept Bloomingdale Safe

By Steve Sears icture this. Prior to there being a Bloomingdale Police Department, there was Auburn Taylor, who was assigned to patrol the streets of the borough seven nights a week from 4:00 p.m. to midnight. He did so in street clothes.

Fast forward to 2019, the current Bloomingdale Police Department, which was formally created in 1934, consists of 17 full-time officers, three Class III special officers, one full-time dispatcher, six parttime dispatchers, one part-time secretary and six crossing guards. “The Bloomingdale Police has a long,

proud history that dates back to the 1914 when Auburn Taylor patrolled the town. It is amazing that he worked 7 days a week!” says Chief of Police since 2007, Joseph Borell. “Like Auburn Taylor in 1914, todays members of the Bloomingdale Police department remain committed to the safety continued on page 4

Bloomingdale Police Department... continued from page 3 and protecting the people who live and/or frequent Bloomingdale.” The mission statement is four-fold: The mission of the Bloomingdale Police Department is to prevent crime, preserve order and to protect the rights, lives and property of the citizens of Bloomingdale. The success of the mission depends upon a continuous effort to increase awareness and develop higher levels of trust and understanding among police officers and the community. We shall continuously strive towards attaining excellence by providing our employees with fair and effective leadership, supervision and training. In accomplishing these goals; service will be our commitment; honor and integrity our mandate. Bloomingdale is 7.29 square miles, and much of that size consists of Norvin Green Forest. Bloomingdale officers also assist the Riverdale, Butler, Wanaque and West Milford police departments if needed.

Most important is that the Bloomingdale Police Department is also a New Jersey Law Enforcement Accredited Agency. The process requires compliance with a series of professional standards designed specifically for New Jersey law enforcement agencies, and the state rigorously inspects to make sure the specific police department is complying. The Bloomingdale Police Department was awarded accreditation in 2014, was re-accredited in 2017, and again is seeking re-accreditation. In addition to protecting the borough, the Bloomingdale Police Department gives back to the community in many ways. Consider the recent holiday party for the Bloomingdale Senior Citizens at the Senior Center. Dinner and dessert were enjoyed by the attendees, and all the volunteers of the BPD volunteered to help with set-up, serving the food and cleanup, but officers also sat with seniors, listened to their concerns and engaged in casual conversation. Also, Bloomingdale

Police officers grew beards in the month of November (coined “No Shave November”) to support those suffering with cancer. In addition, participating members each donated their own money to put toward making a departmental donation to a resident suffering from cancer to help ease their financial burden. The above is just a brief sampling of the charitable efforts where the department gives back, and that makes Chief Borell proud. “I am very proud to oversee such a fine Police Department. We will continue to strive to provide the most proficient and outstanding law enforcement services we possibly can. As a police department we are proud of the fact that we have great working relationships with our residents as well as our business partners. Our objective is to keep your family safe, in a great community that we can all feel good about.” For more information about the Bloomingdale Police Department, visit www.bloomingdalepolice.com.

The strategic plan will allow us to create and fulfill a vision for the future of our district - where do we want to be in 5 years? In addition, the process allows us to include our community in vision casting and the future of our district, allowing for a true partnership. The Strategic Plan also allows for us to plan for items within our budget over time.” The key question? Why 5 years? “5 years allows for us,” says Johnson, “as a district and community, to plan longterm for larger projects and instructional plan, but not too long so as to have our vision become outdated.” The first step in the process was a survey completed by the community, students, and Butler schools staff members to collect perceptions

data. Then, three meetings were scheduled to be held in the first three months of 2019. Poor weather forced postponement of the initial meeting in January, which has been rescheduled for March 26th. Johnson explains the specific purpose for each of the three meetings. “During the first upcoming meeting” says Johnson, “I will be giving a state of the district address, and then we will be working together amongst the stakeholders to discuss where we want to be in the coming years. The second meeting will focus on us creating a portrait of a Butler graduate - what does it mean for our children to be a Butler Bulldog?

Kinnelon Is Painting The Town… And You Can Add Your Artistic Talents Too

By Melissa A. Kay he Kinnelon community is gearing up for a freshening, and the Kinnelon Recreation Department is seeking locals to participate in The Kinnelon Community Project – Phase 1. Through the beauty and benefits of artwork, the fading facades of three local outdoor athletic facility buildings are about to get a boost. The Recreation Department is asking anyone with an artistic edge or inspired idea to lend their talents to the elevating effort, to add new life and light to the close-knit community. The three buildings getting made over are the Municipal Field Complex behind town hall, the Kinnelon Recreation Park (designs for the outdoor building and new dugouts for the lower field) at 52 Boonton Avenue, and the Boonton Avenue Field Facility at 174 Boonton Avenue. At this point, the initial idea phase is underway, where the Recreation Department is seeking submissions for murals, the written word (phrases), or even a vi-

sion for a brand new vibe. And anyone is welcome to join the fun, from schoolagers to senior citizens, inspired individuals or gifted groups. You can be new at your craft or a seasoned pro. As long as you have the drive, desire, and dedication, you’re already a solid candidate. All ideas are welcome and wanted. It’s all about getting together for a creative cause that will make the buildings even better. And teamwork is always a treasure. Melanie Schuckers, Recreation Director for the Borough of Kinnelon shared her positivity about the project, “The Kinnelon Community Project has been a collaboration of ideas by our dedicated Recreation Committee members to tap the spirit of the town in an artistic way. Kinnelon residents have an amazing sense of pride in their town and we wanted to give them an opportunity to express their passions through this first phase. We hope to receive many unique submissions and believe the ideas will also serve as direction for future community activities. Our resi-

dents are so strongly invested in this town seen through extraordinary volunteerism and public service. We are excited to start this project.” The deadline to submit artwork ideas for the three Kinnelon buildings is March 29th and all submissions will be carefully considered and reviewed by the Recreation Committee. Their top recommendations will be presented to the Mayor and Council who will choose the final designs, then the work will be underway as spring starts to blossom. The artists selected to share their work will be honored by having their name signed to their artwork on the buildings. The whole town is excited to see what’s in store, especially since it will be area residents gifting the community with their artistic interpretations and expressions of what it means to live in Kinnelon. To participate in The Kinnelon Community Project – Phase 1 or ask any questions about the submission process, you can call (973) 838-5401 ext. 220 or email mschuckers@kinnelonboro.org.

Homeowner Alert! Review Your Tax Forms New tax rules are creating confusion

ecause of new laws many home related tax rules have changed and now require you to prove how funds are used to qualify for a deduction. This is catching many taxpayers by surprise. So when your mortgage company reports tax-related information to you and the IRS using Form 1098, it no longer means all the interest and points reported on these statements are taxdeductible. Mortgage interest deductions have new loan amount limits. For new mortgages starting on or after Dec. 15, 2017, you can deduct interest on up to $750,000 of the loan (down from $1 million for mortgages initiated before

Dec. 15, 2017). If your original mortgage is above the threshold, a calculation will be done to determine the deductible amount of interest. You can’t simply deduct the full amount of interest being reported on your Form 1098. Proceeds not used to buy a home add complexity. Proceeds from home equity debt that are not used to build, buy or substantially improve a qualified home are no longer tax-deductible. This includes mortgage or home equity proceeds used to pay for college expenses, debit consolidation or other purposes. Mortgage companies issuing these loans will still send you a Form 1098, but it’s up to you to prove how you use the funds

during the current year and any prior year. Mortgage points requires review of settlement statements. Points are paid as a way to obtain a lower interest rate. Generally, points are deductible in the year they are paid, but they have more restrictions than mortgage interest. Points paid to refinance an existing mortgage, for example, may need to be deducted over the life of the loan. If you bought or refinanced a home in 2018, a review of your mortgage settlement statement may be required to ensure proper tax treatment of the cost of your points. Mortgage insurance premiums are not deductible. Con-

gress did not extend the mortgage insurance premium deduction for 2018. If you pay mortgage insurance, don’t wait to file your taxes thinking Congress will change their minds. File your taxes on a timely basis and expect to feel continued on page 9

Coping with the Loss of a Pet

he strong bonds many people share with their pets can make the death of those pets, be it sudden or expected, difficult to handle. It’s not uncommon to be traumatized when a pet dies, and such grief may be influenced by the pet’s age at the time of its death, the circumstances surrounding that death and the nature of the relationship between the owner and pet. Different pet owners deal with the death of a pet in different ways, but the following are some ways to cope with the loss of a companion animal. Recognize that everyone pressed in many different ways. feels differently. Grief is ex- What one person experiences

Mourn in your own way, and afford others the same opportunity. Reach out to others. Grief often can turn a person inward, and your feelings may be bottled up.

continued from page 10 on others who have been in your shoes may help you recover more quickly. Create mementos or a legacy for the pet. Creating mementos may help children who are having their own difficulty dealing with pet loss. Work with your child to create a photo album or plant a tree to honor your pet. Dealing with a pet that must be euthanized can be especially difficult. Pet owners can choose to be in the room during the procedure, and that decision should not be made lightly. If you think you can handle it and you want to be there to comfort your pet, then you might be more comfortable being in the room. But being present when a pet is euthanized can be emotional, so give this decision serious consideration. Once a pet has died, many

owners debate whether or not to bring a new pet into their homes. Another animal around the house can fill the void created when your previous pet passed away, and some people adopt or buy a new pet before an old or sick pet passes away to make the transition as smooth as possible. A new pet should only be brought into the home when you’re ready to build a new relationship. Dr. Matthew Krupnick is the owner of the Pequannock Animal Hospital. He grew up in Kinnelon and is happy to be home – with his wife, three cats, and two dogs – to provide quality and compassionate care for pets in the community. The Pequannock Animal Hospital is located at 591 Newark Pompton Turnpike in Pompton Plains. You can reach the hospital by calling 973-616-0400.

Bloomingdale Teens Get Summer Arts Scholarship

By Jon Cronin or two teens in Bloomingdale, the promise of summer fun just got a little bit sweeter. Performing arts loving twins Vincent and Evelyn Santangelo, 14, recently won the David J. Grimes, Sr. Memorial Scholarship that will provide them with individual workshops, camps, and youth productions at the Smiling Rhino Theatre in Pompton Lakes. Vincent and Evelyn have been involved in music, acting and art since they were very little. The young dynamic duo loved performances they saw at the theater and when their mom, Darlene Santangelo, saw the opportunity for a scholarship, she couldn’t pass it up. Vincent and Evelyn have always performed for their large Italian family, creating little skits and a puppet show around the holidays and often asked their mom if they could do more to pursue acting. They asked more frequently after seeing Annie and Matilda at the Rhino Theatre. “This is their little dream,” she said. The twins are currently in eighth grade at the Holy Spirit School in Pequannock and are taking part in the spring play “The Sound of Music,” but are eager to get more of that stage magic. “We went to the open house [at Rhino Theatre] and they loved it,” she said. “I filled out the paperwork and was shocked when I got the news.” Evelyn and Vincent jumped for joy when they heard the news at the end of January. They immediately called their

father at work and all their relatives. Darlene is also proud of her kids and happy they have the opportunity to pursue their passions at such a young age. She noted that Vincent made it to the second round of America’s Got Talent auditions in 2017 when they were scouting at Queens College. “God the boy can sing,” she said and boasted that fellow parents still talk about his rendition of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing,” in his fourth grade talent show. Evelyn said she and her brother love being in front of a crowd. They both take part in talent shows, sing in the church choir and read in front of their parish on Sundays. This summer, she said, “I hope to be better at singing, but I’m more into acting. I like comedy and drama, but definitely like comedy more.” She said they picked DePaul Catholic High School in Wayne, because of its strong performing arts program. Vincent has similar ambitions about the summer program, “I hope to learn more techniques about singing and acting [and] learn more about dancing styles.” This scholarship opportunity is made available by the family of David J. Grimes Sr., a Paterson/Totowa area teacher for 49 years, who passed away in March of this past year. Grimes was also a director for various Theater Arts organizations in the area and longtime audience member of Rhino Theatre. Rhino Theatre Group has been in the community for 20 years with a mission to create a place for kids and teens

to have a safe fun place to explore the performing arts. It provides professional supportive instructors to aid the children and looks forward to seeing its students create

friendships that last a lifetime. Evelyn and Vincent will be presented with their scholarship on the Rhino Theatre’s mainstage on Tuesday, March 19th at 12 p.m.

Free Vision Screening offered at Pompton Lakes Health Department

he Pompton Lakes Health Department is offering a FREE Vision Screening on Mon., April 15, from 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. The screening will take place at the Pompton Lakes Health Department, 25 Lenox Avenue, Pompton Lakes. The vision screening is provided by the Wayne Lion’s Club. Pre-registration for the screening is required. To make an appointment, please call the Pompton Lakes Health Department at (973) 8350143 ext. 235. Visiting the doctor and dentist regularly is crucial to maintaining good health. Going to the eye doctor is just as important! According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), eye diseases are common, but can go unnoticed for a long period of time. A compre-

hensive eye exam is essential to detect eye diseases in the early stages when treatment to prevent vision loss or blindness is most effective. According to the Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired, “National researches say that 50% of all case of blindness or severe vision loss could have been prevented by early detection of disorders and the appropriate follow-up care.” This eye screening does not replace an eye doctor’s exam, but it can help identify people who are at greater risk for eye disease. The Pompton Lakes Health Department and Wayne Lion’s Club encourages you to register for this free screening to reveal any potential vision problems and to learn more about maintaining good eye health!

Grayberg Retires from Pompton Lakes Restoration Committee

By Chris Weninger illy Joel sang “Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes” in his 1976 hit, “Say Goodbye to Hollywood.” For Pompton Lakes resident and recent retiree as chairman of the Pompton Lakes Restoration Committee, Steve Grayberg, it is also time to say goodbye, but also good luck and thank you. The Lake Restoration Committee was created under the town’s Flood Board Committee 12 years ago in response to growing concerns the lake was not being managed properly. “The lake wasn’t being cared for; it didn’t look that good, and it wasn’t that fun to use,” Grayberg stated. Care for this body of water

is a daunting task considering more than 200 acres of the lake stretches through the towns of Oakland, Wayne, and Pompton Lakes. Currently, Pompton Lakes is the only town of the three, that has any formal governing body dedicated to the waterway’s well-being. Grayberg, along with fellow Pompton Lakes residents, Maria Kent, Gardner Semet, and Jeffrey Lipman created the Pompton Lakes Restoration Committee. The restoration committee started informally at first. Grayberg remembers, “We had to formalize it a little bit in order to get any money and so we did and little by little we became more formal.” The formalization process became necessary in order to

meet the requirements that would allow the town to appropriate resources needed to care for the lake. Once the group was a subcommittee, a chairperson was necessary. Grayberg, who was involved

in project management in the informational technology field for 45 years, became the Chairman. “I was sort of acting in that role anyway and so it was a natural fit.” continued on page 22

Grayberg Retires... continued from page 20 When asked about his 12 years as the chairman, Grayberg was very proud of some of the accomplishments he and the committee were responsible for. “I’m proud of it being a formal body recognized and treated that way that was an accomplishment that came from nothing. I’m proud of the way the lake has looked for the last few years; it really looks good and I’m proud of the people who have come on board and they will continue that.” The restoration committee also holds yearly contests open to the public such as photo, art, and writing contests that focus on capturing vivid scenes and memories of the lake. The committee is also responsible for an annual

clean-up effort where committee members and volunteers go by boat and by foot to cleanup garbage and debris from littering. One of the bigger projects Grayberg was a part of, was the massive and multi-year cleanup of approximately 40 acres of the lake, which was titled the Acid Brook Delta Remediation. The clean-up project was overseen by the Environmental Protection Agency in response to the Dupont Corporation. For years, contaminants, mainly mercury, leaked into Pompton Lake from a small brook, ironically named, Acid Brook. This resulted in a large-scale remediation project that finished this past fall. Although Steve Grayberg is retiring from the commit-

tee, he is leaving it in the capable hands of Bernadette Arencibia and Maria Kent as co-chairs. “Bernadette (Arencibia) is going to take over the more operational side and Maria (Kent) will work closely with her and report activities to the Flood Board Committee,” Grayberg stated.

When he was then asked what he hoped the committee would do going forward he replied, “It’s an important asset that needs to be treated carefully, and we have been doing that and if you create something dies with you that’s not as good as something that lives on.”

Did You Know?

ccording to data from Statistics Brain, the American Cancer Society and Health Land, around 70 percent of smokers harbor a desire to quit altogether, while 40 percent of smokers will try to quit this year. Quitting smoking is a popular New Year’s resolution, and a choice that can improve smokers’ health dramatically.

Smokers can reduce their rate of dying from smoking by half just by quitting before age 50. Although the percentage of smokers who will succeed in quitting the first time around is small, it is still worth the effort. Today there are many different plans, medications and smoking-cessation support groups to help smokers as they attempt to quit.

hough urban areas may not be in close proximity to beaches, lakes or streams, stormwater from such areas is one of the primary ways that pollutants are delivered to major bodies of water. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, high stormwater flow can send untreated sewage into our waters, including our oceans. Stormwater

from urban areas also may be responsible for delivering heavy metals, pathogens ( b a c t e r i a , viruses or other microorganisms that can cause disease) and sediment into our

waters. Eco-friendly infrastructure can reduce and treat stormwater at its source, preventing many of the environmental p r o b l e m s associated with stormwater runoff.
