Monday, Jan. 23 School Board Mulls Moving Elections A board of education discussion Thursday about the short and long-term operational effects of switching school board elections to November left members torn over how to proceed. The discussion came on the heels of last week'ssigning into law of a state bill that lets school districts, municipalities, or public voters decide whether they want to move school board elections from April to November. In addition to the change of date, districts that make the move eliminate the public's right to vote on school budgets within the state's 2 percent cap on tax increases.

Just over 1,000 homes lost power for about four hours Monday, PSE&G confirmed.
Another day, another power outage in Fair Lawn. About 1,150 customers, concentrated in Radburn, lost power for four hours Monday night, starting just after 5 p.m., PSE&G confirmed. Power was restored in full around 9 p.m. A PSE&G rep said the power outage was caused by two separate incidents -- the failure of an underground cable and a fallen tree that damaged a power line. The outages affected at least two Radburn restaurants that were preparing dishes for Monday's Taste of our Town event at the Community Center. David Kawash, owner of the Radburn Deli, said he was in the middle of cooking the deli's famous wings when everything went dark. A batch of Buffalo and Honey Soy wings were already done, but the rest had to be left behind. …

But in the last couple years, a few dedicated members have taken the reins and revived the committee, which has since tripled in size. “It’s in the last year or two years it’s really taken a different direction,” committee chairman David Jordan said. “A lot more people have gotten involved. We’ve done a lot of advertising to get the word out that there is such a committee that is out there to help people with disabilities and special needs.” Olga Podolsky, the group’s …

By Tuesday night, PSE&G expects to restore power to all isolated pockets of town that had not yet been restored
Nearly four days of darkness should come to an end Tuesday night for a few hundred Fair Lawn residents living in isolated pockets of town.

Snow should begin to melt as Sunday's forecast is sunny with a high of 45
As many as one-third of residents are without power Sunday after Saturday's storm that dumped more than 5 inches of snow on Fair Lawn, according to the latest outage estimates available from PSE&G.
