H1N1 vaccinations available The Ho-Ho-Kus Board of Health, in conjunction with The Valley Hospital Community Health Department, will be offering a free H1N1 (Swine) Flu Vaccination Clinic for Ho-Ho-Kus residents at the Ho-Ho-Kus Municipal Building Council Chambers on Tuesday, Feb. 9. Hours are 5 to 7 p.m. Anyone age six months or older may be vaccinated. To register, call (201) 291-6090. The Ho-Ho-Kus Municipal Building is located at 333 Warren Avenue, Ho-Ho-Kus. Census participation urged Ho-Ho-Kus officials urge all borough residents to participate in the upcoming census. The U.S. Constitution requires a national census every 10 years. The 2010 questionnaire asks a few questions, including name, relationship, gender, age and date of birth, race, and whether the respondent owns or rents his or her home. The form takes just a few minutes to complete and return by mail. The Census Bureau does not release or chare the information that identifies individual respondents or their household for 72 years. Participation matters because each year more than $300 billion in federal funds is awarded to states and communities based on census data. Census information is also used to reapportion seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, and to plan for new hospitals, schools, and other services. Lovi to exhibit at library The Worth-Pinkham Memorial Library, 91 Warren Avenue, Ho-Ho-Kus, will be hosting Armin J. Lovi as the artist for the month of February. A Mahwah resident, Lovi enjoys photographing flowers, architecture, and candid views of people. Using both digital and film (color and black & white) and various 33mm and medium format cameras, Lovi continues to study and experiment with lenses in different light and locations. His work has been featured at Ramapo College of New Jersey fundraising events.

Borough hall changes hours of operation Ho-Ho-Kus Borough Hall hours of operation have been changed to 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. (Hours were previously 8:30 to 5.) The change will eliminate the need for shift changes of borough hall employees and will cut down on energy use. The change will not affect the standard 35-hour work week for borough hall employees. Hours of operation for the Ho-Ho-Kus Department of Public Works and police department will remain unchanged. Library accepts exhibits The Worth-Pinkham Memorial Library invites local artists, collectors or area residents with interesting collections to contact the library if they would be interested in displaying their collections at the library located at 91 Warren Avenue.
