This day stands out for Kuiken, not only because he is a dedicated veteran of World War II, but also because it is his birthday. This year, friends and relatives gathered at Mill Gardens in Midland Park where Kuiken now resides to celebrate a surprise 90th birthday party. Kuiken (seated, center) is pictured with Peter Sullivan, Betty and Dave Sullivan, Chuck and Wanda Jurgensen, Juliana and Alexandra Sullivan, and Daniel Sullivan. Pastor Rev.

The project also includes the construction of a pump station at the Franklin Crossing Shopping Center to pump the sewage flow along Pulis Avenue to the Chapel Road connection to the existing interceptor in Mahwah. The NBCUA also agreed to extend the sewer line along Pulis Avenue to provide for the future connection of the municipal complex to the sewer system. The rules and regulations in the ordinance pertain to all aspects of the use of the borough’s sewer service, including the charges property owners would have to pay to use that system. The ordinance establishes a sewer service charge for the use, operation, and maintenance of the system. That charge will be levied on the owners of those properties connecting to the sewer system, which is not mandatory. Single-family residential dwelling units will pay $462 per year. Two-family residential dwelling units will pay $519 plus $2.70 per 1,000 gallons for flow in excess of 156,000 gallons. Three- to five-family residential units will pay $250 per unit plus $2.70 per 1,000 gallons for flow in excess of 208,000 gallons. Commercial users will pay $462 plus $2.70 per 1,000 gallons for flow in excess of 104,000 gallons; commercial users with one separate detached residential unit will pay $854 plus $2.70 per 1,000 gallons for flows in excess of 145,600 gallons; commercial users with one residential unit within the same structure will pay $619 plus $2.70 per 1,000 gallons for flow in excess of 145,600 gallons; and commercial users with two-to-five residential dwelling units will pay $462 per residential unit plus $2.70 per 1,000 gallons for flows in excess of 104,000 gallons plus 41,600 gallons per residential dwelling unit. These charges will cover all costs related to the sewer service, including charges of the NBCUA and pump station and ejector station operation and maintenance costs. The charges will also create a reserve for maintenance and repairs. The sewer service charge will be an annual fee that will begin on the date when a building connection is approved by the borough and will remain in effect until modified by ordinance.

Energy program (continued from page 6) Schiffer said that the board has also applied for grants for other than energy projects from the state Schools Development Authority. The program, aimed at regular districts rather than poor cities, will pay 40 percent of eligible costs of renovations and construction. The district would have to pay the difference, but officials said they were unclear as to how long they would have to come up with the 60 percent share. Business Administrator Stacy Garvey said all the items that were included in the referendum defeated by the voters in December, except roofs, windows and boilers, have been submitted for evaluation. She said these would be prioritized by the development authority, with health and safety projects rising to the top. One resident suggested the district apply for projects that still need to be addressed but were not included in the referendum. Garvey said there is nothing additional that would qualify, except perhaps a new school.
