The state of the United Water property application for development will be challenged by Oradell's attorney this week.
Louis Flora, the attorney representing Oradell in the New Milford Zoning Board hearings of the proposed development of the United Water Property, is expected to challenge the application at the special meeting of the Zoning Board on Thursday. This meeting comes on the heels of the dramatic ending of last week's meeting when counsel for the developer announced that they had entered into a conceptual agreement with the New Milford Board of Education to donate three-acres of property, along with a 'sizable' donation, for a 'field of dreams.' Opposing counsel plans to petition the Board to consider this a new application, rather than an amendment to the existing application. Flora said that because the land will now have a different use, …

River Dell faces Sparta while Bergen Catholic meets Don Bosco in the state football semifinals
The undefeated River Dell Golden Hawks may have been stricked with injuries throughout the season but their goal to return to MetLife Stadium is still alive this weekend. At the same time, Bergen Catholic will face archrival Don Bosco Prep in the semifinals this year rather than the title game as the Crusaders three regular season losses dropped them several points. For both teams to get to Rutherford and a shot for a group title, they must each dig deep against their opponents on Friday night in the Non Public Group 4and North 1 Group 3 tournaments. The top-seeded Hawks have surpassed expections as the team lost key starters linebacker/running back Kevin Barry (knee) and quarterback Tim Barnes (leg) early in the season. Never relying on …
