Pompton Lakes NJ • BOROUG LAKES PO MP N • 09 ’ H O M P P F TO O S E T ON L A K 10 ’ Information and Reference Calendar Hello Fellow Pomptonians, Over the past two years I have often been asked questions about our town. Some, such as size and population are easy to answer (approx 3 sq. miles and 10,640). When asked to describe our community I get stumped. How do I describe what we have here? What can I say to help the other person really appreciate Pompton Lakes? I start by saying that we’re “Mayberry.” Kids that grow up here tend to stay. Some may leave to explore for awhile but in the end all roads lead home – to Pompton. And we have many multi-generational families like the Moyles, Murphys and even my own family the Quigleys. Mayor I often talk about how we congregate at Cardinal Café, Tony’s or the Ice Cream Station. Katie Cole Council President And the big news in town for awhile was the progress on the roof at Thatcher McGhee’s. 973-583-7087 Richard Steele 973-835-0143 ext.240 I brag about our schools. I describe our High School and its traditions. I tell people Tom 973-835-0143 ext. 303 [email protected] Selleck and other stars came to Pompton to film the movie “In and Out” and TV shows [email protected] have been filmed in the High School. But how do I tell them about people like Al Backus who has volunteered on the Fire Dept for 60 years or Jerry McMinn who is right behind him on the First Aid Squad for almost 55 years? Or how do I describe the pride in our First Aid Squad for Town Meetings being the “Mother” squad for most of the towns north of Paterson? Locations How do I talk about all the people who go above and beyond like Mary Beth Meetings noted throughout the calendar are held at the following Morton who for ten years has run a cancer benefit that raised about $90,000? How do I account for the hours that Joe Koning puts in running the fishing locations (refer to last page for derby on Pompton Day and designing and building “regattas” and signs for the addresses): day? How do I summarize traditions like Bob McGrady organizing the MemoMunicipal Council Chambers rial Day program and parade for the last 30 years and his father doing it for the Councilwoman • Mayor & Council Lisa Riggiola 30 years before that? • Board of Health 973-835-3258 • Planning Board Pompton is an indescribable place because of the people who live here. 973-835-0143 ext. 305 • Zoning Board Thank you for all you do to make our town a special place to live.

This plan is an essential guide to successfully achieving a healthy and safe community forest. In the past two years, a total of 225 trees have been planted along town streets and in our parks through these grants. Only municipalities and counties with approved status under the NJ Shade Tree and Community Forestry Act are eligible to apply for a CSIP grant. Members of the Shade Tree Commission were pleased to announce that the Borough has earned a Tree City USA designation which they have been working towards for a few years. The Tree City USA program is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation, along with the USDA Forest Service and the National Association of State Foresters. In the spring of this year, Mayor Cole and the Shade Tree Commission accepted the Tree City USA designation award at the State Arbor Day ceremony in Tewksbury, NJ. The Tree City USA signs at our town entrances tell visitors that we are a community that cares about its environment. Shade Tree Commissioners display trees to be planted throughout the community.

It is a product of our sincere concern, wise planning and careful actions. It is planting trees, writing smart laws, cleaning our rivers, saving energy and preserving open space. It is wise floodplain management and educating our children to be good stewards of the land. It means fixing what is broken and cleaning up what is dirty. All of this and more represents environmental protection in Pompton Lakes. A green today means a green tomorrow. The Borough’s Open Space Committee makes recommendations to Mayor and Council as to lands to be acquired for open space, parkland and recreation as well as suggesting how to use funds to maintain existing open space. The Borough has received grant money to beautify our open space in order to make safe havens for our children to play and our seniors to relax. The Flood Advisory Board pursues means necessary to alleviate, curtail, solve or prevent problems relating to flooding within the Borough and to confer with the proper authorities for the purpose of improving the scope and efficiency of flood control. The Lake Restoration Committee is a branch of the Flood Advisory Board dedicated to restoring Pompton Lake. Meetings are open to the public and are held in the Municipal Building as follows: Environmental Protection – 2nd Thursday - 7:00pm Open Space – 2nd Thursday – 7:30pm Flood Advisory Board – 4th Thursday – 7:00pm Volunteers participating in annual river clean-up SOLUTIONS TO STORM WATER POLLUTION A Guide to Healthy Habits for Cleaner Water Pollution on streets, parking lots and lawns is washed by rain into storm drains, then directly to our drinking water supplies and the ocean and lakes our children play in. Fertilizer, oil, pesticides, detergents, pet waste and grass clippings are among the many pollutants that end up in our water supply. Storm water pollution is New Jersey’s greatest threat to clean and plentiful water, and that is why we are doing something about it. By sharing the responsibility and making small, easy changes in our daily lives, we can keep common pollutants out of storm water. It all adds up to cleaner water, and it saves the high cost of cleaning up once it’s dirty. As part of New Jersey’s initiative to keep our water clean and plentiful and to meet federal requirements, many municipalities and other public agencies, including colleges and military bases, must adopt ordinances or other rules prohibiting various activities that contribute to storm water pollution. Breaking these rules can result in fines or penalties. The Borough Council adopted Ordinance 06-02, Stormwater Control, Chapter 160A of the Code of the Borough of Pompton Lakes. A complete copy of this ordinance is available from the Borough Clerk’s Office. Easy Things You Can Do Every Day to Protect Our Water As a resident, business owner or other member of the New Jersey community, it is important to know these easy things you can do every day to protect our water: • Limit your use of fertilizers and pesticides • Properly use and dispose of hazardous products • Keep pollution our of storm drains • Clean up after your pet • Don’t feed wildlife • Don’t litter • Dispose of yard waste properly.

Monthly meetings are held at the Authority’s Administration Building, 2000 Lincoln Avenue at 6:00 pm and are open to the public. As you are probably aware, the Authority recently replaced the 100year-old 8” water main and water services with a 12” water service. The Authority will continue to work closely with the Streetscape Project to complete the Downtown Business area water system upgrades. Another project nearing completion is the Wireless Water Meter Upgrade. The upgrade project is 90% complete and should be completed before the end of 2009. Instead of hiring an outside contractor to do the wireless installations, the Authority’s personnel have undertaken the job which has resulted in a considerable savings to our customers with faster, easier and more accurate meter readings.

Residents can be notified within minutes of a problem developing and instructed on what actions to take to be prepared and/or evacuate. Verizon customers are automatically in this database, however, if you are not a Verizon customer and/or do not receive our test calls, please register by going to the borough website, www.pomptonlakesgov.com. and click on the box labeled “Reverse 9-1-1 Signup”. Enter requested information including your cell phone numbers and email address so that you can be notified in a timely manner. Make certain to enter the security code. You may register all family members individually if you desire. If you require assistance, please call our borough offices at 973-835-0143. This past year our borough personnel have been working towards the adoption and implementation of a countywide Hazard Mitigation Plan, which includes all 16 Passaic County municipalities. The adoption of this plan in August of 2009 will make our Borough eligible for state and federal grants as they relate to hazard mitigation and Homeland Security preparedness. A new initiative in our Borough that started approximately 2 years ago is our local Citizen’s Emergency Response Team (CERT). This team is comprised of citizens who have volunteered their time to be trained so that they can assist and know what to do in the event of a local disaster. All volunteers have attended 20 hours of training in the areas of emergency medical care, fire suppression, light search and rescue, disaster response, disaster psychology, terrorism, and incident com- mand techniques. The goal of the program is “neighbors helping neighbors” in time of need. It is especially useful when emergency response personnel such as police, fire and our first aid squad is overwhelmed. Our team is presently at 48 members and growing. If you would like to volunteer for our team, please call CERT Coordinator Deborah Ross at 973-616-3698. In summary, our local Emergency Management team partners with state, federal, and local agencies to provide services to our residents in time of need. Please help yourself by visiting websites such as www.ready.gov, www.fema.gov, www.redcrossnj.org, and www.dhs.gov. These websites contain a wealth of information regarding individual and family preparedness for emergencies and disasters. During declared emergencies only, our Borough Emergency Management Office can be reached by calling 973-835-0143, extension 707. Be sure to listen to WGHT, 1500 AM, for emergency information as well. If you should have questions or concerns about Emergency Management at any other time, please call Coordinator Al Evangelista at 973-583-2879. Flood or Hurricane –WATCH SIGNAL: 3 minute short intermittent blasts of fire siren. (Prepare!) WARNING SIGNAL: 3 minute steady blast of fire siren. (Evacuate!) Look for posted yellow “flood watch” and red “flood warning” signs. Sound trucks will broadcast through affected neighborhoods. Block Captains will notify their flood-prone areas. Pompton Lakes/Riverdale First Aid Squad 700 Ramapo Avenue, Pompton Lakes, NJ 07442, 973-835-1480 History Early in the spring of 1935, seven concerned citizens recognized a need for immediate ambulance service in the Pompton Lakes area. A donation of $1,000.00 was made by Miss Elsie Kirkland, and Joe Louis, Heavyweight Champion raised an additional $2,620.35 for an ambulance. In May 1935, a new Packard ambulance was purchased at a cost of $2,985.00 and the Pompton Lakes First Aid Squad was incorporated on June 10, 1935. Since 1935 the squad has purchased more than 30 ambulances. The volunteer members of the Pompton Lakes/Riverdale First Aid Squad have been responding to emergency calls in the community for nearly seventy five years. Progress has brought remarkable change to the service they provide. Today the EMT’s work in conjunction with paramedics from the local hospitals, medivac helicopters, local emergency rooms, and regional trauma centers to provide the best emergency care possible. Training and Membership Today the First Aid Squad responds to almost 1,200 calls per year. With over 30 active members, the First Aid Squad is available 24/7, 365 days per year. Most squad members are certified as Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) by the New Jersey State Department of Health. This certification requires 120 hours of classroom and hands on training. Ongoing training is then required to maintain the certification. The members provide outreach programs and training for the community. If you are interested in joining, applications are available weeknights between 7pm and 10pm; all training will be provided free of charge. With continued support from the residents and business owners of Pompton Lakes and Riverdale, the First Aid Squad will continue to provide emergency medical care at no charge for years to come.

Tucked away in the pristine lake area of Pompton Lakes was The Crawford Inn, one of many architectural buildings exemplifying the beauty of Pompton Lakes. The Crawford Inn served as a luxury resort for those who visited the town and enjoyed the pleasures of the lake. Prior to becoming a resort, the structure was utilized as Adams Health Resort and then became Adams Sanitarium. News articles dated back to 1913 indicate that Romona Borden, the 17 year old heir to the Borden Condensed Milk Company, had a brief stay at the sanitarium. Historic Preservation Commission The Pompton Lakes Historic Preservation Commission was established by Borough Ordinance in December, 1988 “to safeguard the heritage of Pompton Lakes by preserving the resources within the Borough which reflects its cultural, social, economic and architectural history.” The seven regular members and two alternates are appointed by the Mayor and Council and the main purpose of the Commission is to recommend properties to the Planning Board to be designated as local historic landmarks. Such designation helps maintain the properties in their original state and preserves them for future generations. As a guideline to historic properties, the Commission consults the Cultural and Historical Survey of Pompton Lakes. A copy of the survey is available in the Public Library. The Historic Commission meets on the fourth Tuesday of the month in the meeting room of the Emanuel Einstein Library at 8:00pm and invites the public to attend. “Ironworker’s Cottage” c. 1825-40 at 1238 Lincoln Avenue is the last remaining ironworker’s cottage associated with the nearby Pompton Furnace. According to historic maps a number of ironworkers’ cottages were located along Lincoln and Van Ness Avenues during the first decades of the nineteenth century, but except for 1238 Lincoln Avenue, all have given way to later development. Although the house has undergone alteration, most notably the late 19th century addition to the rear elevation, the house retains its formal integrity. The Pompton Lakes Woman’s Club The Pompton Lakes Woman’s Club (PLWC) is a volunteer organization whose objectives are to promote the civic, cultural and social life of the community. Various departments of the PLWC include Creative Arts, Performing Arts, Garden & Conservation, Social Services, Culinary and International Affairs. The PLWC provides many services to the community such as a “welcome wagon” to help new residents become acquainted with Pompton Lakes, scholarships to Pompton Lakes’ students who are college bound, collecting funds for the Borough’s Library through the annual “Library Tag Day”, providing food for Borough’s needy and holiday gifts for the children. This year the PLWC initiated the microchip identification program for pets. The PLWC also selects an annual project to contribute to and this year’s project is collecting funds for Autistim. The Pompton Lakes Woman’s Club Museum has been collecting, preserving and archiving historic items for over 50 years and have three display cabinets located in the Municipal Building. Special events such as the Bunny Breakfast, the Victorian Tea, and the President’s Tea are sponsored by the PLWC and funds collected from these events provide activities for the Borough’s schools, scholarships and books for the Library. The PLWC meetings are held the first Thursday of the month from October through June at 7:00pm at Christ Episcopal Church, 400 Ramapo Avenue, Pompton Lakes, NJ. If you are interested in becoming a member, please contact Jackie Vozzo at 973-835-0119. PLWC members and guests attend the Victorian Tea.
