FROM THE DESK OF THE MAYOR
LINCOLN PARK NAMED NEW JERSEY "HEALTHY TOWN"
FOR PARTICIPATION IN MAYORS WELLNESS CAMPAIGN
Lincoln Park was recently honored by the Mayors Wellness
Campaign as the thirteenth community in the state to receive
designation as a "New Jersey Healthy Town." Lincoln Park received the designation for its strong and active participation in
the Mayors Wellness Campaign.
I am proud that Lincoln Park has been honored with the distinction of being a Mayors Wellness Campaign Healthy Town. Only 2% of all the towns in New Jersey have been able to
achieve this superior ranking. Since 2007, our community has been very active in promoting
wellness for all residents, and it is a credit to our citizens' hard work that we now receive
this recognition. There are many organizations and individuals who can take great satisfaction in knowing they helped us achieve this lofty goal. Janet Cassidy of the Parks & Recreation Department and Kathy Skribola from the Health Department along with Administration,
DPW, Police, Fire, First Aid, CERT and nearly every borough employee have played a part
in the programs and events that we have run and the facilities which we maintain. I would
like to especially thank all of the residents who have helped so much.

FROM THE DESK OF THE POLICE CHIEF
According to the United States Department of Justice, American homes are victims of
a burglary every fifteen-seconds. The typical homeowner suffers a loss of nearly two
thousand dollars in stolen goods or property damage. With that in mind, I thought I
would provide our residents with some effective ways to protect your home. I want to
stress that over the last couple of months we have not seen an increase in burglaries
and thefts although the same cannot be said about some of our surrounding jurisdictions.
•
Bushes, shrubs and trees can offer an intruder places to hide and camouflage signs of a
break-in. Trim back any overgrown vegetation so that your home's windows, porches and
doors are visible to neighbors and passersby.
•
Adequate nighttime illumination is critical, because a dark or poorly lit property makes it easier
for a burglar to go about unseen.
•
Keep the outside doors to your home locked at all times, including when you are at home.
Locked doors make it more difficult for burglars to enter your home and might discourage or
prevent them from breaking in.
•
Use dead bolt locks with at least a one-inch throw on all outside doors of your home, including
the door leading from the garage to your house. If glass is near enough to a lock to allow
someone to break the glass and reach through to the lock, make sure the lock requires a key
to unlock it from the inside. These precautions could help to prevent an unauthorized entry.
•
If you store valuables within your home, hide them and do so in the most unlikely places possible. Professional burglars know about most of the ordinary hiding places.
•
Make sure windows and sliding glass doors are securely constructed and have strong, dependable, and tight-fitting locks. Consider additional locks and latches. These precautions
could help to prevent break ins.
•
If you plan to be away from home for more than a few days, consider asking the Lincoln Park
Police Department to check your house regularly while you are gone. This can be done by
simply contacting us in person or by phone (973-694-5533) and completing a vacant house
report. Such checks, if observed by a would-be burglar, could discourage the planned break
in. The checks could also stop a break in while in progress.
I would like to stress that if you observe suspicious vehicles and/or suspicious persons, please contact
the police department so that it can be investigated. The strength of our agency is in our relationship with
our community and rest assured that all of those calls will be professionally investigated.

The Truth about Mold
By Michelle Gonzalez, Catherine Paul, Jemy Thomas, and Michele Yip
William Paterson University nursing students
Spring 2012
Mold occurs after major storms such as the extensive flooding that occurred in Lincoln Park
last summer. If your home was wet for more than 48 hours, there may be mold growth. Mold can
grow on almost any surface but it usually grows in damp, warm environments or anywhere that
flood water was present.
There are health problems that are associated with mold which include allergic reactions such
as irritation to the skin and eyes. It may also cause respiratory symptoms such as sneezing, coughing,
and wheezing. Mold may cause health problems in all individuals, especially those with weaker immune systems such as young children or the elderly.
To remove mold in your home wear gloves, goggles, and a mask to protect yourself from the
mold. Mix water with bleach or detergent and scrub the affected area until the mold is gone, then
dry the area to prevent further mold growth. Never mix bleach with any products that contain ammonia as this causes toxic vapors that are harmful. If there are large amounts of mold in your home
make sure you call a professional to remove it.
