Page 2 THE VILLADOM TIMES I, II, III & IV • February 3, 2010 Villadom Happenings Wright to discuss Hudson’s visit On Feb. 24, Kevin Wright, past president of the Bergen County Historical Society, will discuss and sign his book, “1609: A Country That Was Never Lost - The 400th Anniversary of Henry Hudson’s Visit with North Americans of the Middle Atlantic Coast.” This joint program of The Hermitage and the Ridgewood Public Library will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the Ridgewood Public Library Auditorium, 125 North Maple Avenue, Ridgewood. Wright’s book takes readers back in time for a visit with the Algonquian and Iroquoian communities, including the Manhattans, the Minisinks of Bachom’s Country, the Lenape of the Schuylkill estuary, the Mahicans, Susquehannocks, Mohawks, and others whose names have been lost in the mists of time. The book also covers the birth of the Dutch colony of New Netherland on the Hudson and Delaware rivers and the dawn of history for Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, and Connecticut. State ceases to offer tax forms in print For many years public libraries and post offices throughout the State of New Jersey have partnered with the Division of Taxation to distribute state tax forms. For the upcoming tax season, however, the New Jersey Division of Taxation will not issue state income tax forms in print format to former distribution points. State tax forms are available on the website of the Division of Taxation: www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/. Taxpayers who are unable to access the forms from home may use the computers in their public libraries, where forms can be printed for a nominal fee. Another option for obtaining paper forms is to call the Division of Taxation Customer Service Hotline at (609) 292-6400 and ask to have the 2009 1040 P mailed directly at no charge.
