Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States with about one million new cases diagnosed each year. Fortunately, most skin cancers, including melanoma, can be cured if detected early. The Bergenfield Health Department is sponsoring a free Skin Cancer Screening Program to promote early detection and prompt treatment of skin cancer. The screening is for Bergenfield residents, 18 years and older. A practitioner from the Advanced Laser & Skin Cancer Center of Teaneck will conduct the screening. The screening clinic will be conducted at Bergenfield Borough Hall, 2nd floor, 198 North Washington Avenue. Please call the Health Department at 201-387-4055 option 5, to schedule an appointment. Date of screenings: Wednesday June 14th, 2017 between the hours of 10am till 12pm. Please note that this screening is for Bergenfield residents not currently under the care of a dermatologist.

The Bergenfield Easter Egg Hunt will be on Saturday, April 8, 2017 at 10:30 am at Cooper’s Pond. The rain date will be on 4/9, same time.

Extra personnel and equipment at the ready

(NEWARK, N.J. – March 13, 2017) Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G), New Jersey’s largest electric and gas utility, is preparing for the approaching storm system that is predicted to bring heavy snow and strong winds to the Northeast on Tuesday. 

“The amount of snow and high winds associated with this storm may bring down trees and power lines,” said John Latka, senior vice president of electric and gas operations for PSE&G. “We take every storm with the potential for outages seriously, and have additional personnel scheduled and on standby, with auxiliary equipment at the ready.”

The utility also has extra personnel on hand to respond as quickly as possible and handle emergency requests. Both PSE&G’s appliance service business and call centers are prepared to respond to customer “no heat” calls as temperatures remain low during the next several days.
