Addresses must be clearly marked The Franklin Lakes Police Department reminds borough residents and business owners that they are required to have address numbers that are clearly displayed and visible from the roadway. This public safety measure helps to ensure the borough’s police, fire, and ambulance services can accurately identify buildings, and increase response time in the event of an emergency. Numbers should be posted on or adjacent to the doorway on the side of the building facing the road, or adjacent to the driveway, such as on a mailbox.

(continued from page 5) to pay for air conditioning, heating, and the eventual replacement of the carpets at the house. The building includes a large group meeting room, small meeting rooms, a kitchen, and restrooms, and is available for municipal government and senior citizen functions at no cost. Members of the national 38,000-strong U.S. Coast Guard Reserve may or may not have been members of the active Coast Guard, which is a part of the U.S. Navy in wartime and reports to the U.S. Treasury Department in peacetime. Three of the members of Flotilla 10-13 from outside Wyckoff who attended the meeting -- Flotilla Commander Michele Rollino, Vice Commander Bruce Pugh, and Past Commander Ken Hall -- wore uniforms with several rows of service ribbons. Hall said the flotilla had been activated during the early days of the war in Iraq to patrol the waterfronts along the Hudson River on the alert for possible saboteurs. “We are non-profit, and are available and have training for emergencies,” said Korteweg, who is a Wyckoff resident -- one of two in the group. “We would respectfully ask to be considered for a waiver of fees for use of the Larkin House.” Wyckoff Township Committeeman Kevin Rooney questioned the four flotilla members to make sure the unit had no major sources of revenue and then said he would be happy to meet with them to discuss the matter.
