TOWNSHIP POSTPONES HALLOWEEN TO FRIDAY, OPENS LIBRARY FOR POWER NEEDS

Township officials today postponed Halloween trick-or-treating to Friday, Nov.2, asking residents to wait until then to ensure safety.

In a morning press conference, Mayor Vic De Luca and other officials also stated the main library and town hall would be available for those who wish to power up electronic devices.

In addition, the De hart Center remains open as a shelter through tomorrow, where 50 to 60 people stayed last night.

Some 861 emergency calls were responded to since the storm hit according to police and fire, who urged residents to stay off the roads and said the parks remain closed.  

The mayor had no estimate on power being returned, but noted most of Maplewood Village has power.
