The Fair Lawn Football Association will dedicate its new announcer booth Sunday prior to the Tri-County Youth Football League Super Bowl at Vander Plaat Field.

Two best friends from Fair Lawn who attended Don Bosco Prep together will achieve their dreams this fall when they begin their Division I football careers.
You wouldn’t know it today to look at his hulking 6-foot-3, 270-pound frame, but soon-to-be Division I offensive lineman Tyler Samra actually began his football career as a slender running back. What’s not nearly as surprising -- at least not to anyone who knows Samra -- is that his lead blocker in those early Fair Lawn Football Association days was a chunky kid with big ears named Mike Strizak. To this day, the pair remains inseparable best friends. “If you see me around town, you’ll see him around town, and if you see him around town, I’ll be with him,” said Strizak, who’s since grown into a chiseled 6-foot-2, 230-pound defensive lineman standout. “We’re always together." Samra and Strizak – both of whom came up through the Fair Lawn …

Tim Yuskaitis was officially appointed Fair Lawn's town crier last January.
For a change this Tuesday, Patch won't be the only media source at Fair Lawn's borough council meeting. CBS News will be on hand to film a segment on town crier, Tim Yuskaitis. Yuskaitis, who was also featured in an article in Friday's Bergen Record, will make an appearance Tuesday night to read a proclamation for Women's History Month. Town criers like Yuskaitis have the ceremonial role of making dramatic announcements while wearing medieval or colonial-style costumes at town events. Yuskaitis' interest in becoming a town crier was piqued early last year after he read a Star-Ledger story about a crier in Sussex County, who was one of a handful of criers that existed in New Jersey at the time. After contacting and joining the American …
