Under snow, roofs cave in across Bergen, Passaic counties

The Record

First came a pair of storms last week that dumped more than a foot of wet snow on the region. A week of subfreezing temperatures followed, creating a dense ice pack that began to stress roofs across North Jersey.

But it wasn’t until the nor’easter on Thursday pounded the region with 12 to 16 inches of snow, rain and ice that roofs began to be brought down under the weight of this winter’s unrelenting misery.

An elementary school in Wallington, a department store in Woodland Park and a sports complex in Waldwick were among at least a dozen buildings that partially collapsed on Friday. A ShopRite in New Milford was closed after the ceiling buckled. No major injuries were reported in any of the incidents.

Special 1st Birthday Celebrations Held at The Valley Hospital

NICU-BIRTHDAY-2013

Special 1st Birthday Celebrations Held at The Valley Hospital

November 11, 2013 — It can be very distressing to be placed on hospitalized bed rest during pregnancy.  Separation from family and loved ones, and concerns about the unborn baby increase anxiety, and loneliness and boredom can easily set in.

A year ago – while each was awaiting the birth of their first child – expectant moms Michele Holiday, from Midland Park; MaryKate McBrayer, from Westwood; and Anna Locke, from Hillsdale; bonded over their shared hospitalizations at The Valley Hospital.  Their friendship was further strengthened during their shared time together while their babies received care in Valley’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

Earlier this month the three moms and their babies returned to Valley for a special shared celebration of their babies’ first birthdays.

Shown here with Valley neonatologists and staff from Valley’s NICU and Center for Childbirth are (seated, left to right): Michele with Isabella and Samantha, MaryKate with Cora Geno, and Anna with Charlie and Alexandra.

Happy Independence Day

Happy Independence Day

Today, over 905,000 Bergen County Residents will be among the 300 million Americans that will enjoy Independence Day.

For most it is a welcomed and deserved day off spent relaxing with good friends and family.

It is important that we all recognize that the Fourth is so much more than barbeques and fireworks; it is about remembering all the sacrifices made in the 237 year history of these United States. The independence that we all enjoy is a privilege afforded to us by the brave men and women who have fought and continue to defend our great nation against tyranny.

Two weeks ago, I was honored to present over 20 Bergen County Military Service Medals at a very moving ceremony held at Hillsdale’s Post #162 American Legion.

I leave you with this stirring photo compilation from the event:  Bergen County Military Service Medal Ceremony in Hillsdale. It is truly fitting on this day and every day ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSVs7Qgg1w0&feature=youtu.be )

I wish you a safe and memorable Independence Day.

Happy Birthday to the United States of America!
