Debbie Kinney-Chen is looking for a new CERT leader to replace her and coordinate volunteers for local emergency response.
Wyckoff’s Community Emergency Response Team is looking for a new leader following the announcement recently that current coordinator Debbie Kinney-Chen will be stepping down as soon as a replacement is found.

Longtime Wyckoff Library volunteer Diane Ulrich is being honored for two decades of service
Some people are just born to serve. Count Diane Ulrich — 35 year Wyckoff resident — among that esteemed group of people, whose big and decidedly unselfish hearts lead them to places like soup kitchens, hospitals and even the Wyckoff Public Library.

Once a month, the longtime member of the Friends of the Wyckoff Library packs up her car and visits the CHCC with carts full of books, books on tape, and even CDs for the elderly residents who want their fiction fix but can no longer see. “She’s a dynamo, a true library champion,” said Beth Wharton, president of the Friends of the Wyckoff Library. “Diane …

Through a number of local initiatives — Relay for Life, the YMCA's Teen Leaders program, or Skills USA — the 15-year-old Wyckoff resident is focused on helping those in need. Mackenzie, a sophomore at Bergen County Academies in Hackensack, was an avid devotee of cooking shows on TV and knew what she wanted to do when she was in middle school here in Wyckoff. "I wanted to see if I could make it in the kitchen," she said, so Begen County Academy's Culinary Arts and Hotel Administration program was a natural choice. "The program puts you in a kitchen, it was the perfect environment to put myself into — it's a microcosm…
