Many families in our two communities suffered damage during last October’s hurricane. Trees came down damaging roofs or worse and homes were flooded.

Many families were able to call their insurance companies to make claims and some were able to receive FEMA assistance to help make repairs and to get their lives back in order. Some families, however, did not have flood insurance and FEMA assistance was just not enough to make all the repairs to their homes by the damage caused by Sandy. “One of those families who were not able to make the repairs to their home lives right here in Oakland,” said President of the Oakland-Franklin Lakes Rotary Club Peter Kikot…

In a televised battle for culinary supremacy, Wyckoff Committeeman Kevin Rooney took home the "Chopped" crown Sunday night after wowing the judges with a "sophisticated" sushi dish, ostrich fan fillets, and "sweet and savory" French toast.

A Wyckoff-based charity is accused of scamming donors who contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to a Hurricane Sandy relief organization. Alexander Patterson, 87, died Saturday, Feb. 23, at the Christian Health Care Center in Wyckoff. Patterson …
