| New Lighting Will Be More Efficient |
 |
PROGRAM SAVES ENERGY AND MONEY — KOPE Electric has been
replacing flourescent lamps, ballasts, floodlight bulbs, and fixtures
under PSE&G’s Direct Install Program. The energy savings in the muni-
cipal building and police dept. is estimated to be $569 per month. Best
of all, because the Borough’s share of the cost for the lighting improve-
ments will be re-imbursed from the savings over a 24-month period, the
project is essentially being done for free. Pictured above are Jeremy
and Jared Kope on ladders in the Administration Office, while Nancy
Ferrigno and Anna Mae Kiss work at their desks. |

BETTER LIGHTING SAVES ENERGY TOO — Workmen from Bristol
Developers have been replacing flourescent lamps, ballasts and metal-
halide fixtures at the DPW under PSE&G’s Direct Install Program. The
energy savings is estimated to be $605 per month. Because the
Borough’s share of the cost for the lighting improvements will be re-
imbursed from the savings over a 24-month period, the project is
essentially being done at no cost to the Borough. |

| WPPD Puts Spotlight On Helmet Safety |
 |
POLICE URGE KIDS TO USE HELMETS — At a recent press con-
ference Anthony Galietti, Woodland Park Police Chief, hoped to get
the word out through local media that children need to wear a hel-
met when on play equipment like bicycles, roller blades and skate
boards. A donation of 180 helmets by Perfect Shine Auto Salon and
another 30 by the N.J. Brain Injury Assn. will enable patrol officers to
provide a free helmet to a child found without one. Pictured above
are (background lt to rt) Det. Sgt. John Uzzalino, Councilman Joseph
Spinelli, Mayor Pat Lepore, Chief Galietti and Perfect Shine owner
Rick Mahmood;(foreground lt to rt) Thomas Bolen, TJ Uzzalino and

| NJ FamilyCare ‘Express Applications’ Available Online |
More than 450,000 children in New Jersey do not have health care coverage, according to data provided by their parents’ state tax returns. The state is using this information to help enroll children in the NJ FamilyCare program.
NJ FamilyCare is a low-cost or free program for income-eligible families. For instance, a family of four earning up to $77,175 (or 350 percent of the federal poverty level) can qualify to insure their children for about $130 a month in the state- and federally-funded program.
