Brief History
by Anita Silva Rejmaniak

Before Northvale was named Northvale, before it was known as Carrieville, even before it was called Neuvy, the land was part of a c. 1640 purchase from the Tappan Tribe by a Dutch Captain to establish a trading post. Later in the same century, the site was incorporated into a royal land grant to the Haring family, who paid 16 bushels of wheat annually for the privilege. This Tappan grant continued until 1775, when... [Read More]

Spring Gardening Tips from the Beautification Committee
Posted Thursday, March 22, 2012

It’s that time of year once again; the days are getting longer and a little bit warmer. As a gardener it’s my favorite time of year. Spring is right around the corner, time to get outside and let the beauty of mother nature begin, with a little help from her friends.

Late winter and early spring are ideal times for pruning most shrubs and trees. (The major exception being those that bloom on the previous year’s growth, in which pruning removes the flower buds.) Use this time to evaluate and tend to your evergreens and deciduous shrubs. Most varieties of evergreens can be shaped twice a year, once in late winter and again in midsummer. Prune most deciduous shrubs just once, in late winter. It’s easy to focus on the exterior of your plants, but don’t neglect the interior. It is vital to cut out all dead wood. This will create better airflow to the interior of your shrubs, which tends to become a very warm and humid environment in the summer. This is exactly the condition that many garden diseases favor.

Being in horticulture for over 40 years, people ask me what is the best fertilizer to use in late winter or early spring? What I find using a low nitrogen base fertilizer is the best bet. There is a wide variety of products you can use all season long. I like to use Holly tone for my acid loving shrubs such as azaleas, rhododendrons, hollies and laurels etc. On all other shrubs and trees a 5 10 5 (fertilizer) is the best. Later in the year when the weather is hot, miraclegro or miracid is a good bet.

The time is right for starting your flower and veggie seeds. Use a good sunny spot but, don’t forget to rotate your seed bed. By rotating your seed bed you will ensure even growth and prevent you seedlings from stretching too much. Planting most seeds indoors for 8 weeks before the frost date of May 15th is preferred. Happy gardening

From your,
Beautification committee

Tax Relief for Victims of Hurricane Irene
in New Jersey

Posted Tuesday, September 9, 2011

NJ-2011-42, Sept. 1, 2011 MOUNTAINSIDE, N.J. — Victims of Hurricane Irene that began on Aug. 27, 2011 in parts of New Jersey may qualify for tax relief from the Internal Revenue Service.

The President has declared the following counties a federal disaster area: Bergen, Essex, Morris, Passaic and Somerset. Individuals who reside or have a business in these counties may qualify for tax relief.

The declaration permits the IRS to postpone certain deadlines for taxpayers who reside or have a business in the disaster area. For instance, certain deadlines falling on or after Aug. 27, and on or before Oct. 31, have been postponed to Oct. 31, 2011. This includes corporations and other businesses that previously obtained an extension until Sept. 15 to file their 2010 returns, and individuals and businesses that received a similar extension until Oct. 17. It also includes the estimated tax payment for the third quarter, normally due Sept. 15.

In addition, the IRS is waiving the failure-to-deposit penalties for employment and excise tax deposits due on or after Aug. 27, and on or before Sept. 12, as long as the deposits are made by Sept. 12, 2011.

If an affected taxpayer receives a penalty notice from the IRS, the taxpayer should call the telephone number on the notice to have the IRS abate any interest and any late filing or late payment penalties that would otherwise apply. Penalties or interest will be abated only for taxpayers who have an original or extended filing, payment or deposit due date, including an extended filing or payment due date, that falls within the postponement period.

The IRS automatically identifies taxpayers located in the covered disaster area and applies automatic filing and payment relief. But affected taxpayers who reside or have a business located outside the covered disaster area must call the IRS disaster hotline at 1-866-562-5227 to request this tax relief.
