Memorabilia sought for local history project The Waldwick Public Library has partnered with Waldwick High School to build a digital, online archive of the borough’s local history. The library and WHS are requesting area residents to look through their scrapbooks, photographs, newspaper clippings, event pamphlets, and other memorabilia for items regarding Waldwick’s past. Memorabilia may be brought to the following loca- tions: Waldwick Public Library, 19 East Prospect Street; Waldwick Middle School and High School, 155 Wyckoff Avenue; Crescent School, 165 Crescent Avenue; and Trap- hagen School, 153 Summit Avenue. The idea for the project grew out of meetings for Waldwick High School’s 50th anniversary celebration. Erin Hummel, media specialist at Waldwick High School, and Lori Quinn, director of the Waldwick Public Library, decided to team up to collect artifacts from the borough’s past. Hummel works with students who conduct research on local history, and Quinn is in the process of opening of the library’s local history room. Two programs will be produced from one set of historical information. Items to be added to the digital collection will be returned to the owners. Memorabilia that will not be returned will be housed in the library’s local history room. This room, known as the Waldwick Heritage Room, was added to the library during the last renovation. Library staff is currently cataloging information for public use. The room is expected to open early in 2014. Hummel and Quinn want keep the project rolling. They ask that residents bring historical items to one of the four drop off locations by Jan. 15, 2014.

Police Report (continued from page 12) old North Haledon resident on Nov. 30 and charged him with criminal mischief and unlawful possession of a weapon.

An unloaded rifle was found in the vehicle and subsequently seized from the defendant. Maintenance (continued from page 5) of an estate settlement where the executor lives out of the area and is unaware of the condition of the home. Kratz said another option he is considering using with habitual offenders where appropriate is awarding season contracts for lawn cutting at vacant homes. The town engages private contractors on an as-needed basis. “It would streamline the process for us. We would notify the property owner once that we would do the cutting on a regular basis, and we would issue one lien per season,” Kratz said. He said the amount of the lien would be about the same, but the neighborhood would look better and would cut down on complaints.
