Letters to the Editor   Traffic Signal at Chandler Drive What happened to my suggestion about putting up a traffic light at Chandler Drive and Fair Law Ave.? I had an accident this morning with a van. As I made the right turn off Chandler onto Fair lawn Ave. he banged right into me, damaging my car. WE NEED A TRAFFIC LIGHT THERE NOW!  Elaine              [From the Editor:  See Transportation Update in this edition]   Who is Your Favorite Fair Lawn Doctor? We have many fine doctors in our town.  Mine is a young man named Dr. Lefkowitz who is on Saddle River Road across from the tennis place. He has my blood pressure down very far for the first time in years.  Who is your favorite Fair Lawn MD? John Nichols   Can You Help the Elderly With The Snow? I have an 84 year old mother who is disabled and a widow. It is very difficult to find a regular and reasonable snow removal worker who is monetarily reasonable and dependable. The high school put an ad in the Shopper News saying that their volunteer students would come out and shovel for the elderly for free. (bologna)   Not that my mother didn't expect to pay but no one showed up. This was a disappointment, especially when the teacher told us that no students live on her side of town. In any case, I think a posting of reasonable members of the town to help out the disabled/elderly with stuff like this would be great. It seems the landscapers are out of my mothers financial reach and the others are not reliable. I am sure that there are many others like my mother.  Zak    Ahavat Achim Fundraising Dinner  Congregation Ahavat Achim, located on Saddle River Road near Glen Rock, will hold its 18th Journal dinner on March 3 at the Hilton Hotel on Route 17 in Hasbrouck Heights.  The honorees will be Elyce and Steve Smedresman, who moved here in 1984.  Congregation Ahavat Achim was formed 23 years ago with a commitment to the values of modern Orthodox Judaism and to the support of Israel while encouraging and welcoming Jews from all backgrounds and affiliations    Click Here For More Information on this event.     Local Events I thought perhaps a listing of the events in the local schools might be of interest.  Mom with High School Kids   [Note from Editor:  If anyone is interested in volunteering to put together such a calendar, send e- mail to the Editor   Stealing A Child’s Toy I was recently at the Warren Point Post Office with my son who is 6.  When it was my turn on line, I got my money order, filled out all my information and we left.  When I got to the Columbia Savings Bank, I asked him where his Gameboy is, he said he left it at the Post Office.  We drove back to the Post Office which is only a few blocks from the bank. I got in and asked the girl if someone had turned in a lime green color Gameboy with a yellow Pokemon game on it?  She said she saw it and meant to pick it up but got busy with people and when she looked again it was gone. The people who work at the Post Office have looked at the tape and think they know who did it. In the meantime I did fill out a police report.  I cannot believe some people in this world would take a child’s toy. What ever happened to this is the season for giving not taking!  My son is beside himself with grief. Allison   Fan Mail The Fair Lawn News is great and very informative! KEEP IT UP! Thanks!
