Sergeant Michael Ragucci of the Wyckoff Police Department arrested a 42-year-old Paterson man who added a bogus birth date to his other identity issues when he was pulled over for speeding. Sergeant Ragucci pulled the man over for reportedly driving at 83 miles per hour on Route 208 at 1 a.m. on Aug. 26. When Ragucci asked the man to produce a driver’s

license, the man said he did not have one on his person, but gave his name, address, and date of birth. The man’s reported date of birth was Feb. 31, which made the officer somewhat suspicious. Further investigation finally identified the man, who was charged with DWI, speeding, possession of an open container of alcohol in a motor vehicle, driving while his license was revoked, and providing false information to a police officer. The man was also found to have an outstanding warrant in Wanaque and was turned over to the Wanaque police. Also on Aug. 26, Sergeant Ragucci discovered four

One of those residents was Dana Rey Hannon, a former member of the Wyckoff Volunteer Fire Department who was serving with the FDNY the day of the attacks. Wyckoff also lost David Brady, Thomas Bowden, Alan K. Jensen, Shari A. Kandell, Thomas Kelly, Sara Elizabeth Marley, Scott McGovern, Craig A. Silverstein, Richard Todisco, and Roy G. Wallace. All 11 names are listed in a memorial site inside Wyckoff Town Hall showing the huge prayer vigil that took place the night of the attack. “These 11 individuals lost from the township on Sept. 11, 2001 and their families are never far from home and forever in our hearts,” a statement from the Wyckoff Volunteer Fire Department said.
youngsters sitting on a loading dock on West Main Street after business hours and found that they had been smoking marijuana. A 17-year-old Wyckoff boy was charged with possession of a small amount of marijuana and the four youngsters, two boys and two girls, were released into the custody of their parents. The complaint will be heard in juvenile court. A few days before, a resident of Voorhis Avenue reported that a burglary had occurred at his garage. Patrolman Ryan Tenny found that entry had taken place through an unlocked window and that a fishing rod, tools, and a fertilizer spreader had been taken.
Wyckoff will make changes in the local recycling program and the garbage collection schedule as autumn leads to winter and pickups can be reduced without sanitary problems. The curbside pickup of grass will end on Friday, Sept. 28, and will not resume until May 1, 2013. Residents may either bring grass clippings to the recycling center on West Main Street or use the “cut it and leave it” program to mulch their lawns with their own grass clippings. On Oct. 1, Wyckoff will return to once-a-week garbage collections. That schedule will also remain in force until May 1, 2013. A maximum of eight items may be left on the curb at any one weekly pickup at each household. Large,

oversized landscaping barrels are not permitted. The every other week single stream recycling program will continue. Both garbage and recyclables must be placed at the curb prior to 6 a.m. on the collection date, but not before 6 p.m. the night before. Empty containers must be removed at 7 p.m. on the collection day. Oversized materials and construction debris will not be accepted either as garbage or as recyclable materials, and should be disposed of by private arrangement. Curbside leaf collection will begin on Monday, Oct. 15. J. KOSTER
