Coyotes in New Jersey
The coyote is a wild member of the dog family. This resourceful
mammal has expanded its range significantly in the recent past,
colonizing the entire Northeast and now found throughout the Garden
State. The coyote was never introduced or stocked in New Jersey, but
has firmly established itself in our area through its extremely
adaptable nature.

Thank You Verona!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who assisted
me in helping the Verona residents in need this holiday season. You
brought in Turkey’s, Hams, gift certificates and gifts. Trees were
donated and delivered and ornaments were made. Money was sent to the
Children’s Fund and when a family in town experienced a fire the
word went out and help arrived. In spite of grim economic times in
2009 Verona was resilient and helped it’s own.
Verona worked hard in 2009 to make things happen. Organizations
and houses of worship baked cakes and held fundraisers. Families did
with less in order to give more. When I told you about a school in
Paterson that needed books you dropped them off to the Community
Center. More people were in need this year but the need was met. As
a water color painting in the rain the holiday season for me blended
with the demands of an H1N1 pandemic and seasonal flu shortage. You
lent me a helping hand and made my job easier. Thank you seems so
mundane but it is heartfelt.
Thank you Verona!
Sincerely,
Connie Pifher
