Those without power are welcome to charge up at Paper Mill Playhouse in our lobby, 7-days-a-week from noon until 5pm. Free hot coffee too. We hope everyone has power soon! Paper Mill Playhouse

Fellow Residents of Millburn/Short Hills: Keep speaking out to the mayor, the township committee and Gov Christie's office. Don't let up on the pressure. That's the only way these JCPL weasels are going to get power fully restored to our town.

Still waiting for power in Glenwood.

JCP&L says ".. its going to take our crews a little bit longer to restore service to customers...". For that, we would need to see crews working which I have not. The more important statement is: "... it becomes labor intensive because you are replacing poles and wires, while bringing back a small number of customers with each repair". Here is the truth: Millburn has no priority and the resources are elsewhere. Mayor Haimoff says that the township will deal with the issues with JCP&L. It will be interesting to see what "deal with" exactly means.

No power to hartshorn school and surroud area

We had power restored today (Wednesday, November 7th) around 12:30pm on Sinclair Terrace. It's interesting that we have repeatedly heard from the workers in this area that are from other states how "antiquated" this equipment is that JCPL has in use in our community. Why is that? I seem to remember hearing that from the guys during the Hurricane Irene and Halloween Snowstorm of 2011, too. What does it take to get JCP&L to bring us into the current century?

Every time there has been a power outage the last few times, houses around Timber Acres by the Mall are last to get their power back. The Mall gets powered first, then the rest of town till they get to he leper colony here.

Please keep calling JCP&L every day with your outage even if you are in hotels or away. Our house was not reported again this morning.

Glad to hear a few homes are getting power. I hope the rest of us get it soon.

Kudos to the mayor for calling, but hung up still not knowing when our poet district area was to expect power. Is Hartshorn area what she called Short Hills? Does that include Glenwood area she named specifically.? Which Thursday will they get here, tomorrow or a week from tomorrow? It's all BS anyway, but still her office robo called.

Leper school = hartshorn school

Shell on the intersection of s Livingston & northfield ave has gas and I saw odd # & even # cars and onlu 6 cars in the line as of 4:45pm

Falmouth and Cambridge look exactly the way they did right after the storm. They have not fixed the split pole or the wires that came down with a big tree. I have not seen a crew near the Hartshorn School yet! JCP&L needs to be held accountable. I was on the phone with a representative and asked why the Mall had priority over township residents. I called the Mayor at 6:30 this morning. We need to keep the pressure on or maybe a peaceful protest at the headquarters in Morristown!

The Exxon station on River Road in Summit has gas and no line at all!

Hi ..does anyone know about Farley Road? Thanks all

Timber Acres/Roland Drive/Ironwood Rd across from Summit Ave were the last streets to be turned after the snostorm last year. It took a bunch of residents to go to the townhall and complain. Later that day a truck came and fixed the problem in less than 10 mins. This time the problem is worse as the traffic light at Summit Ave/Timber Acres is also out as is a large part of Summit Ave on the Summit side. I havent seen any repair trucks in the area since the power was lost.

This is criminal. I lived in a third world country that provided better, faster more efficient service after storms than this company is providing. Welcome to 3rd world America. Don't see how repairs are going to get this done anytime soon.....have only seen 2 NJPL trucks since Sandy.

Just got a good news email from Verizon Wireless. For customers in Impacted Zones (including Essex County), all voice and data usage from October 29 to November 16 will not be be factored into billing. So, for all of us who have already blown through our monthly minutes, we can rest easy. Thanks Verizon!!!

Plows are going by now. Please town workers be careful out there. I am so afraid they are going to snag one of those down wires.

No power yet on Edgewood Terrace in the Wyoming section. Very frustrating considering my wife had a baby the night of the storm and we have not had power yet, while surrounding streets have had power for a few days now.

https://www.firstenergycorp.com/content/fecorp/newsroom/news_releases/firstenergy_namesjonesnjvpexternalaffairs.html
VP mark jones is a PR person. That is all he is.

i wish we had a chance to vote i a different mayor, it really shouldnt take 9 days for her to get off her behind to work for the town, especially with the very high property tax rates, my street still has no power, i have seen no one come past, work on the street, nothing, wires are down and all, im not good with road names but the detour you have to take after turning right after kings is a total mess, trees on houses, wires down, poles leaning over and all, i cant imagine when they will get to them

I have no idea what goes on without using my battery on my phone to check here and the JCP&L website, there is no communication going on and it doesnt feel like our tax dollars are being put to work in situations like this. Almost every storm the power goes out, they want to go cheap but there are so many problems and we should be able to get past this in the 21st century

whatever the reason is, it is ridiculous that power is still not restored by now. The key element missing in this disaster is the lack of liability on any particular group -- anyone seems to be able to just walk away from the situation and not having any legal implications. Until a stronger enforcement is in place to put a group's own interest on the line, this will keep on happening.

For some reason, Livingston seems to get things sorted out quickly... not sure what's driving that...

Does anyone know if power is back on Old Short Hills Road near the Middle School??

Tax dollars not at work ? How come. Outside the town hall they have a suggestion box they promise to empty everyday. LOL. Timber Acres needs power, and we get it last after every storm !!

"However, some isolated homes throughout town will not have power and JCP&L officials have no specific date for full restoration." Does that include several blocks in Hartshorn and a Grade School?? i'll bet anything it does. That is not several isolated homes
This Mayor is getting played- How do you not ask where?

Still wondering what the distiction is between "short hills" and "glenwood". Anybody care to speculate?

no power on Jefferson/Montview/Madison

Like yurienko in dr. Zhivago. Warmth will return in the spring.

South canoe brook is a forgotten place in the world of JCP&L. House temp was 42° this morning.

Power restored on Greenwood Drive in South Mountain this afternoon on day 10 - truly sympathetic to those still without power but at least I am one less customer to compete for resources.

Wow! After a week and a half she finally got to a vice president - a real vice president! I bet First Energy Corp doesn't have too many of those. Has VP "Jones" told her when Hartshorn will have power? Is he the one who decided to prioritize the Short Hills Mall? Does he shop there?

Harvey Drive and Arlene Court without power since last Monday at 3pm before storm even started. Dangerous dangling lightpost STILL precariously teetering on the line!

http://www.informationweek.com/byte/personal-tech/verizon-wireless-waives-billing-for-some/240062610

I heard about this from a co-worker today, and then someone posted about it here so I called Verizon Wireless and this is real. All voice/text overages from 10/29 - 11/16 are going to be forgiven and not charged on our bills. The in-scope counties are in the above article. I have the share everything plan which charges based only on your data usage, but I have been working remotely and using the data as our news and communications lifeline so my data usage has been insane. We're normally on the 4GB plan and I'm already increased up to the 12GB plan. I have to bump it every two days so if we don't get power back soon I'll have to do it again. The point is, when I called Verizon Wireless, they applied a credit for the cost difference between the 4GB plan and the 12GB plan with no questions asked. They also set my account to automatically revert to 4GB after this billing cycle and told me if I have to increase it again to call them back.

Talk about customer service. Way to go VZW!!!

Mid 60s this weekend, it will seem like a heat wave to the powerless.

Short Hills Mall is a big part of Millburn's tax base and it is a resource that can be shared by many. Probably the only place in town indoors that could handle the whole lot of us. I wish it had at least a drugs store and a decent book store like the old days because designer clothes aren't big on my list. I don't begrudge them power early as long as the emergency services are first. I also think safe town roads should come before school opens.

No power on East Lane, Forest Drive....

The intersection of White Oak Ridge Rd and Hobart Gap is worse today than after the storm. Drove up Hobart to WOR - found the intersection blocked on three sides! Crazy that the main entrance to SH from 24 hasn't been cleared in over a week! Where's the progress Haimoff?

No power on Myrtle Ave. Going on to day 11 tomorrow.

no power on South Terrace since Sandy.
where is the "a few isolated houses"?

I too live in the Leper section of SH, Roland Drive and I have not seen one truck since Sandy hit! It is an absolute disgrace!!

It is clear that our mayor needs to go. She is useless and most importantly does not have the connections or abilities to get us help. She is now moving on to a new elected year as she ran unopposed. Do not bother with her and call/write to our senators and higher elected officials.
Post crisis, there needs to be a plan to remove her from office.

No power on Northern, Taylor, Chestnut and Forest. Not one utility truck has been on these streets since day 1 when they put up the caution tape. It looks like a war zone and is very dangerous now with all of the cars driving through to drop off and pick up at Glenwood.

No Power on Jeffeson Avenue

"Currently, Haimoff said she is dealing directly with the company's vice president, Mark Jones, after a week of complaining about the lack of communication."

Ironic that the Mayor, of all people, is complaining about lack of communication. Maybe she should listen to herself and think about trying to improve her own communication. Even telling people daily that she has been trying to speak with JCP&L is better than doing nothing, which is what most people here have felt she has done. On the news last night, they showed a member of a Jersey Shore township committee driving around in a safety vest, in the dark, ensuring that people in his town got to safety. Now THAT is what I call leadership...

Can't believe they didn't close school! JCP&L really needs to define which houses will not get electric restored so those homeowners can make reasonable plans for alternative living arrangements.How can they float that sort of info and just leave us guessing? It is ridiculous the way we are being treated. My husband refuses to abandon the house even though it is freezing.What we need is real help not BS from mayor and JCP&L.When is the next Township Committee meeting I urge all to attend even if power has been restored. Wereally need to put, and keep the pressure on so this never happens again.

I live in the forgotten section of Woodland Rd. They promise power by tonight. We'll see...

I don't wish to soun too obvious to the brain trust of JCP&L and PSEG but in this day and age of social media - wouldn't it make sense to post and update the grid that shows the neighborhoods which have and don't have electricity? Or are they too afraid of publicly displaying their own incompetence.

Still no power on Main St. across from Palumbo's starting with house next door from corner store.

The next Township Committee Meeting will be held as soon as they all come back from their vacations. No one has seen their ugly faces throughout this crises. I want them all impeached and run out of town!

So - going on ten days without power myself and all we (town hall) are able to do is point fingers. It seems to me that get burned once or twice, shame on you. Get burned three times, shame on me (us). What ever happened to learning from our prior mistakes, owning up to them, and improving on the next go around? Clearly this is a difficult situation for everyone but hearing about Code Red calls ( anyone signed up for those?) and no other avenue for getting information is pretty laughable. At the shore they post updates 1,2 or even 3 times daily and they probably have a fraction of the resources we have.
Fiinally- Hurricane Sandy emergency line - open from 9 am to 4 pm - doesn't seem like its much of an emergency when you work banker's hours - and yesterday I couldn't get anyone to answer until 9:30 ( reportedly technical difficulties)
Come on Sandy (the double entendre is killing me) let's get our collective act together!!

http://outages.firstenergycorp.com/nj.html

If you look at their outage map, you can draw a line separating the state! States 'power to majority of customers expected to be restored by midnight Sunday'.

I wrote to the OEM last night. This is the response:

I will pass your address to the representative we are in contact with from JCPL. I will also forward your email to him to contact you and give you a more accurate date of restoration. The information we receive is the same they pass onto the public. If you need to relocate to a shelter we have one open at the Codey Arena in West Orange. I know you are frustrated, which probably does not begin to describe how you are feeling, as are most with JCPL. I know that all the people want to know is when the power will come back. If you have an emergency situation please call 9-1-1. You should also call Millburn OEM at 973-564-7075.
John Frucci, Detective,
Essex County Sheriff’s Office
973-324-9750

Seems like a whole lot of nothing!
Nothing new in the Poet section.

Newark got power back in a day. I have been calling comcast, but getting a standard response. They said they will robocall when the network is up. haha. (BTW: If you are without heat, hook up the furnace to the generator.). From the Leper Colony on Timber Acres/Roland Drive.

I did get my much waitied for call from JCPL supervisor last night. she was very nice and sympathetic, but could give no more info than that relayed by our Mayor.

Do we know when the next Township meeting we can attend is due to take place?

Just spoke to a lovely lady at JCP&L - asked about the intersection of WO Ridge/Hobart to 24.
"no updates
8 poles needed, need tree to removed"

ugh!

Here is the email from Verizon:

Dear Valued Customer,

Verizon Wireless continues to focus its efforts to assist customers in the regions hardest hit by Hurricane Sandy. We announced November 4th that customers in portions of New York and New Jersey will not be billed usage charges for domestic voice and text usage incurred between October 29th and November 16th 2012. No action is required by our customers to be eligible for this program.

The following Q&A was made available to assist with additional program details.

Am I eligible?
This program will support customers in the following impacted areas:

New York: Bronx County, Kings County, Nassau County, New York County, Putnam County, Queens County, Richmond County, Rockland County, Suffolk County, and Westchester County

New Jersey: Atlantic City, Bergen County, Burlington County, Camden County, Cape May County, Cumberland County, Essex County, Gloucester County, Hudson County, Hunterdon County, Mercer County, Middlesex County, Monmouth County, Morris County, Ocean County, Passaic County, Salem County, Somerset County, Sussex County, Union County, and Warren County.

What do I need to do if I’m in an impacted area?
Nothing, we are proactively taking care of this on your behalf.

What if I’m not in an impacted area listed above?
Please call customer care at 1-800-922-0204, where we’ll address additional requests on a case by case basis.

Will this program provide me credit?

[cont]

[cont]

This process will remove voice and text activity incurred between 10/29/12 and 11/16/12 for those in the designated counties. You will not see an actual credit on the bill, but simply won’t see any usage charges for voice and text activity during that period.

Will I still be billed for monthly access?
Yes, you will still be responsible for monthly access charges.

Can I still be billed usage outside of these dates?
Usage charges will apply to usage outside of the date ranges of 10/29 – 11/16. So there is still a possibility of charges for usage before or after those dates.

Why is the end date set for November 16th?
By 11/16 we’re hoping that the lives of our customers impacted by storm will have returned to pre-Sandy normalcy.

I received an alert that I am close to (or over) my usage allowance for voice and/or text, is this correct?
You may still receive normal usage alerts during your bill cycle for voice and/or text usage. If you are an account owner you can manage alert preferences, including opting out, by signing into My Verizon. See Usage Alerts for additional details.

Good to see how mayors can use the media to be engaged, and a sense that some are really unhappy with JCPL. Will we see a similar account in The Item?

http://www.nj.com/morris/index.ssf/2012/11/frustration_with_jcpl_grows_bu.html

Everyone-
As others have suggested, please email the Essex OEM contact essexoem@aol.com <essexoem@aol.com>; and you will get an almost instantaneous response from the OEM person -John Frucci and then a quick follow up with JCP&L with specific info. You should also call Millburn OEM at 973-564-7075.

"Apparently they are beginning repairs on our circuit starting on Millburn Ave. No information regarding the number of houses on this circuit or when this will help Glenwood. @ Canterbury Lane" - From janyne di biase Attached To: No Shelter for Millburn

Still no power on Crescent Place. No sign of NJPL as of 10am so hard to believe power will be up by EOD today with the damage they need to repair. I do not believe the estimates they are throwing out a s little bones of hope. Blowing smoke up my very cold you know what .

"We got power last night :Martindale Road in Fairfield Section ---Thank you Mayor Haimoff and the Gov" - Email this morning

There is action at Hobart and Taylor!!! 2 utility trucks have arrived! Finally...11 days later. Hopefully something will get done!!

here's the latest JCPL outage report and estimates of restoration until Nov 10 not that they can be held accountable or anything!!

https://www.firstenergycorp.com/content/dam/newsroom/files/Town_ETR_Report.pdf

Millburn Patch reported last Friday that Hartshorn school had power. Can anyone explain what happened between then and now? The church next door is lit up and many properties bordering the school. If JCP&L would at least communicate the what is causing the delay it would be helpful.

Does anyone know when Hartshorn school and streets surrounding will be restored?

Yes. JCPL does

Apparently, about a dozen utility trucks just sitting around in town. they've been there -- sitting there, not doing any work -- for an hour. Mayor Haimoff, someone, please, do something. and they say they need to get instructions from a director/supervisor where to go next. They are just sitting there, with utility poles and all the equipment they need to actually fix problems in our town. I do not understand what the holdup is; if anyone does, or if anyone knows who we can call to fix this and get them moving, please do so. Thanks.

I have a question. Everyone I talk to is saying the same thing... where are the utility crews? Look at comments all over the internet. People in Chatam, Rockaway, Denville, Mt. Olive, Succasunna, Randolph, Morris Township, Sparta, Long Valley... etc, etc, etc... all say the same thing. Nobody sees anyone working in their towns. So then where are these 5000 line workers and 1500 tree workers? JCP&L is blindsiding everyone with lies. The crews are not here if none of us are seeing them. They are NOT in MORRIS COUNTY. Where are they?

What about Christ Church/The Winston School? My daughter really needs to get back to school....

The mayors quick to have her picture taken when a new store opens but when there are problems and emergencies she an ostrich with her head in the ground!!! Why must we put up with this please resign you've lost your town support someone else counldnt do worst!! When the good people of millburn see the mayor around town politely ask her to resign maybe out of shame she may resign grass roots movements always works

http://www.twp.millburn.nj.us/municipal-services/emergency/142-a-message-from-mayor-haimoff.html

Writing on the Patch for help is worse than sending a message in a bottle.

Mayor Haimoff I do not need your thoughts. I need your action. I have not seen more than 2 utility trucks since sandy. Where are they? Speaking to a vp of pr at NJPL just does not cut it

What about West Rd snd Lakeview?

First, I really appreciate this local public forum to transmit questions, publish information from residents, and get updates on outages, downed trees and blocked roads.
As a point of information, I waited only 25 minutes for gas on Tuesday, Nov. 6, at the Raceway Station at the corner of Parsonage Hill Road and So. Orange Ave.
Does anyone have accurate knowledge of the town of Madison and its power company. I read they lost power for a brief time and the whole town was functioning within 48 hours of Sandy. Is this true? If yes, how can we sign up for their power company?

only in NJ. So the parent company of JCP&L will be filing for rate increase Dec 1. Dont think I will be paying my utility bill for a while so good luck on collecting the rate increase.

Reverse 911 call received just now from Haimoff said Hartshorn School and the streets on that circuit (?) will be back up by tonight. Hobart Gap Road "is currently being worked on." Coniston and North Road will have work done "later today." Tree crews are going to Canterbury and Stewart to work on trees and wires entangled. There are 20 crews working on our town. This all comes from JCPL VP Jones.

Ironically, the message from the mayor was recorded by a man, not by Haimoff herself. Even though he says at the end "you are in my thoughts." How odd and awkward. So much for hearing the message from us about connecting with residents.

At what point do you just throw up your hands and give up? 5000 crew members for 400k homes? Thats one person per every 80 homes and I havent seen a single JCPL truck since the storm. Chris Christie knows when to talk and when to shut up and right now is a great example. He was quick to take advantage of his "Guilliani" moment and is now mum completely on NJ's power struggles. Politics as usual and the only losers are the people who pay some of the highest property taxes in the country.

Any news on lake view? That will need to be fixed as well for the homes between Hobart gap and glen wood?

OK, just off another interminable, ciruitous call with JCPL. Essentially, they don't know anything. all crews are 'assessing' again. I asked about the VPs figures presented to our Mayor yesterday and the proximity between those and reality. None, it seems. She couldn't explain where his figures had come from.

I asked her to try to reconcile the various figures they are throwing around, and she told me that they really don't have much faith in the figures - hence the fact that crews are assessing again.

Saw trucks working at Seminole & Cayuga. Did not see any trucks on White Oak or Cambridge/Falmouth intersection. Hard to feel good about chances of getting power back in Hartshorn area today/tonight.

The downed wire on Lakeview would seem to be the key to restoring power to the neighborhood bounded by South Terrace, 124 and Hobart, although there are so many other poles and trees down on Hobart, I am not really sure. Anyway, no discernible progress for another day so far.

https://www.firstenergycorp.com/content/dam/newsroom/files/Town_ETR_Report.pdf

Updated work plan from JCP&L. I don't know why I bother even reading these, but, according the JCP&L, 97% of the town should have power by Sunday. And if you believe that...

Just crossed into Day 11 and still no sign of anything being done on the down pole and transformer on Spenser & Chaucer. Chaucer, Shelly, Dryden and surrounding Spenser, Addison, and Tennyson (non golf course side) without power.

Hint for the day for those without heat. Thermacare pads for back aches (buy largest L/XL) give 8 hours of nice heat like a hot water bottle. $12 for 6 at Costco in the pharmacy dept. I am going to keep some in my winter car emergency kit.

On Sunday there were 3 or 4 trucks doing repairs on montview and lake. The trucks were at the intersection.
They made repairs to 2 poles and transformers ( I think one on Jefferson and one on montview. 100 yards away on lake rd there was another pole and transformer down, yet they left and never repaired it. No one has ever come back to lake rd since. Doesn't make sense to me how they could have full crew there doing repairs and leave another repair 100 yards away. As far as I can tell no one has power for blocks on either side of highland ave. this is frustrating. With so many other towns being in better shape has anyone asked if they can bring in more crews. I heard on 880 am radio that Connecticut is sending free crews elsewhere to make repairs where they still haven't had power restored.

2:30PM Two huge trucks on Highland near Western fixing wires and trees on side going toward the station.

Henry Blagden

The out of state crews, seemingly idle, do not know this locale and can only work as directed by guess who, JCP&L; the latter has reprised the ineptitude demonstrated 14 months ago. I suspect that much of this mess is about money, and to have any effect on future effectiveness, JCP&L and its distant holding company parent (Ohio-based First Energy, I believe) need to be SERIOUSLY dealt with by their compliant regulators. As a novel thought which I not seen expressed before, could not JCP&L be compelled to cede its Millburn/Short Hills (maybe Livingston too) franchise to PSE&G? Moreover, as maintenance appears seriously deferred, PSE&G, if agreeing to take over, should be awarded a significant sum to take on this burden and effect this necessary upgrading. Until JCP&L/First Energy is financially impacted by more than a wristslap, nothing much will change and we will go through this again and again. How about this approach, Governor/Mayor/Public Utility Commision?

"And so to bed" again on Jefferson Avenue - no lights, no heat, no telephone, no internet, and no trucks sighted. I'm applying for Camping merit badge!

there are people without power in every town. the same thing is going on all over NJ and on Long Island. Mike Francesa has been devoting the majority of his show to storm related problems and it's a mess out there. the entire tri-state is in a big cluster f***. our mayor doesn't have the political connections to get us back on track. she's not a real politician. this problem goes way beyond her. but since we're venting, i'm really sick of the solicitation calls i get twice a day trying to get me to change my energy company. you can't make this stuff up!

West Rd residents - just called JCP&L and was informed that power in our area will be restored Saturday or Sunday. Statistically my family falls under "the rest that are in the Mayor's thoughts" according to the AM phone call.

There are six homes on Park Circle without power still. I've tried to get to someone at JCP&L who can give us some update. I am still waiting for a call back from a supervisor.

Mariana, how did you get to someone who actually knows something????

I called the regular 1800 number and requested a representative. I gave her the numbers mentioned by the Mayor in the AM phone call, and requested to know which my case was. Of course, this information can be wrong. It is ridiculous anyway, but at least I can control my super bad humor.

With over 1800 homes in Short Hills (including Glenwood) expected to get power today, Thursday November 8th, I thought I'd see more "we just got power posts" on here. Sun is setting, temps in the high 20s tonight and it looks like another night in the dark. Sigh.

What happened with the Code Red message about Hartshorn School being up and running today? Anyone see a crew today?

Thanks Mariana. Just as I started typing this the supervisor called me back. She said that they expect to have all of Millburn back online by Sunday. "That's the latest information we have."

Everyone...as someone on Patch advised us to do, I e:mail the Essex County Office of Emergency Management...within a day a rep from JCP&L e:mailed me with a minimal update. Today, after I couldn't get a live person on the phone at JCP&L I e:mailed the rep for an update...within minutes he sent me this...still no power on Winding Way, but just having this bit of information makes me feel a little less stressed.

Dear Mrs. Argiriou,

Your ticket is green in the system which is a promising sign. Here are the latest notes I can see.

[from 7532596.POLE #BT41865MLN pole needs to be replaced...need to fix riser and single phase primary at this location as well.] from 7558461[POLE #BT4001MLN has problems at pole top..needs to be repaired...TREE on wires that needs to be removed so pole damage can be assessed]..POLE #BT41865MLN pole needs to be replaced...need to fix riser and single phase primary at this location as well. Forestry complete need line crew.[sent forestry follow up ] bonham opened, need forestry then troubleshot

It appears there are a few steps to repair your specific situation so I am not sure how long it will take but it appears that there is some progress in the notes.

Craig

Which houses are among the 300? It's only fair to let the residents know so they can make alternate plans. Also, then the rest of us can see light at the end of the tunnel. When this is over, we should seriously consider having the wires underground.

PrincessMom -- i "escalated" my call because if they are saying there are 300 homes that won't have power, there is someone in that company who knows what those 300 homes are. Or, they're lying.

any idea if there is power on great oak drive?

Customers Affected: 2,107
http://outages.firstenergycorp.com/nj.html

The majority of customers that do not have power, including those that experienced new outages as a result of Wednesday's Nor¿easter, will have power restored by Saturday evening, November 10. Some communities will have their power restored by Sunday evening, November 11,
(just cut and paste from the above website.)

Has anyone had power restored today?

Fairfield section got power back yesterday afternoon...and lost it late this morning with no word on restoration timing (after we moved back into our house and restocked the fridge with food). Awesome.

Still no power on woodland rd.

Still dark on Myrtle Ave. I'm kind of getting used to it. Maybe we should turn Millburn into a Waterloo Villiage style attraction...

Power is on on Pine Ter E and Winding Way. Oh well. I was getting used to my new role as colonial woman.

Did the Mayor really call JCP&L "disgusting" as reported in the Patch? Not sure that comment will motivate a monopoly to fix our lines faster. Maybe she should wait until all power is restored before making comments like that. She is supposed to be improving our chances of getting restored sooner, not harming them. Also, I drove through the Hobart Gap/White Oak intersection 5x today. I can report that no work was done there today. There were 2 Asplundh bucket trucks removing the remains of trees yesterday. Millburn DPW removed most of the tree parts last week.

Still no power on South Terrace.

Sorry I meant to write did she call them a "horrible company" but the net effect is still the same.

19:55 no power on Stony, Oak Hill, Inwood or Oakview, another nightly the fireplace in sleeping bags

any power on Cambridge?

Never having commented, I feel odd. Nevertheless, the simple facts are, (1) How much money do I (JCP&L) make by charging these areas for power, and (2) how much does it cost to restore their power? I am confident JCP&L has figured this out. An apartment building in Elizabeth is probabaly more important to them than a neighborhood in Short Hills (especially if half of the residents are in Florida). So, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, umless one of us is related to upper management, or has other political pull, we WILL wait or W. A. S'd. I had an F there but I try to be reasonable. Hang tight. We're not dead.

Power on Stewart and Martindale today. 9/8

So why is there no story on Patch about our shut-down train line? The Governor has started bus-to-ferry shuttles from Morristown, Convent, Chatham, Madison and Maplewood, completely bypassing BOTH of our township train stops and Summit. Left out again!

After not having power for one week after Irene with never ever getting a straight answer from JCP&L and last week 6 nights without power from Sandy, they need to be fired. Why can't we be like Madison, who have their own power company. Additionally, why are there no consequences from the incompetent lack of response from JCP&L over Irene? I am sick and tired of this situation. I have a home business and lost several thousand dollars last week, but JCP&L has no accountability and will turn around and hit us all with a rate increase and get it. There is something very seriously wrong in this picture and with our local and state government.

Most of Twin Oak has power. Taylor as well although the wires are still down at Hobart and Taylor.

Lots of trucks working on Taylor Road right now...asked about Hartshorn school and they had no idea what I was talking about. They were from Pike Electric utility. Saw nothing else in area being worked on (but I did not do an extensive look)

Maybe I'm the only one that forgot about this, but I just looked it up. Remember the North East Blackout of 2003? Remember who was at fault for the cause? You guessed it, First Energy - the parent company of JCP&L. Shocking...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_blackout_of_2003

We (NJ) need to do one of these. Anyone good at writing something like this?

http://www.signon.org/sign/hold-lipa-accountable?source=homepage

Short Hills Terrace (Glenwood School) still nothing. One would think an apt complex would have a higher priority if for no other reason than to boost the numbers. There are over 200 families here.

No power yet Woodland Rd between Pine Terrace West and Ferncliff Terrace.

I grew up in Short Hills on Elmwood Place. My parents lived in the same house between the time they had the house built in 1940 until 1999 when my Mom died and Dad moved to Cape Cod. I remember Hurricane hazel in 1954 when winds gusted over 100 mph and trees came down all over the Glenwood section. When I was cleaning out my Dad's house this summer, I came across pictures that Dad took of me on a big tree that fell across Woodland Rd. The thing I do remember was we were without power for about half a day. I remember seeing crews restringing wires even with the tree still falling across the roads.

Good thing my parents aren't alive and living on Elmwood Place now. Mom would not be happy and if momma isn't happ, NO ONE is happy!

I understand that Utility Infrastructure is a lot harder to install and work with these days, especially with newer safety laws, labor rules and ordinances. A lot different than pressing buttons on smart phones that we got used to now. Perhaps its payback for neglect and lack of appreciation of what goes behind 24X7X365 service of electric power in real time. Its easier for the President to look Presidential, the Governor to look Gubernatorial, and the Mayor to look Mayoral - for photo ops and move on. Laying wires and providing 24x7x365 is difficult work.

Does our Mayor hold a daily press conference? Blog? Twitter? Facebook? Anything?
The complete and utter lack of communication is extremely frustrating. There is absolutely no flow of information coming from town hall.
Is it unreasonable to ask JCPL to post a graphic map of Millburn Short Hills twice a day which shows whats lit and what isn't? What will be lit in an hour and what is several days out?
People can't plan their lives. If I had known this would go on for 10 - 12 days I would have gotten a hotel room in PA and I could have been reimbursed through FEMA.
Instead I wait day to day and both our town's leadership lack of communication and competence coupled with JCPL's planning.
I'm going to petition a Recall Election for a new Town Council.
Jersey City has power - they were flooded
10 - 12 days? really? we were not flooded – I don’t a believe we even lost a substation – Transformers and poles – that’s it.

http://outages.firstenergycorp.com/nj.html
And this doesn't count... it's not a detailed map - just a pacifier to say ooo ahhh look at the space that's out - JCPL treats it's customers like fools - They don't give out too much information about their work to cover-up incompetence.

The next township meeting is Nov 20th 8pm.
Still no power on Hobart Gap Road and White Oak Ridge Road. Hartshorn school has no power.

Neighbors, Mayor Haimoff was kind enough to call me this evening at approximately 7 pm. Mayor Haimoff was surprised to learn that crews had been working in the Cayuga area today, when the town was told that they would be working on Hartshorn. She has not been informed by JCPL the reason for the change from what she had previously been told. Mayor Haimoff was unable to confirm # of poles down on Hartshorn circuit on the call, but stated that she did have list. She agreed to post on website (Friday) AM a list of poles by location that are down. Mayor Haimoff agreed to follow up with JCPL for times as to which they would start working on each downed pole, and that she would post that information on the Township website when/if received. Although I sought a commitment that she would call JCPL immediately after hanging up with me, it is not clear that she agreed to do so especially since I subsequently learned from the town website that Mayor was on HometowneTV 7:30. Mayor Haimoff reports that JCP&L has told her that all power will be restored by Sunday nite.I remain concerned that our officials are not being sufficiently proactive or detail oriented in this process, and that they are not pressing JCPL enough. For example this group knew by midday that work was being done in Cayuga, while the Mayor didn’t learn about it until the evening. Our officials are not “in the field” but are sitting in “headquarters” & getting reports from Town Engineer & JCPL.

Town council? All I hear is how lousy Haimoff has been. Where are the other 4 vanishing members? Shameful lack of leadership. They should be embarrassed.

For the best example of leadership over the past few weeks check out Cory Booker's twitter feed: https://twitter.com/CoryBooker. Look at how he was actively involved and in the field. He spoke directly to his constituents frequently and honestly. Even if our mayor doesn't know or can't get the answers, she should be more active here.

Still no power on Northern Drive!! And no signs of utility trucks anywhere!

Here is a GREAT suggestion from a neighbor of mine (and I agree). Time for our officials to get into gear and do what they are elected to do:
1) Publicly announce that the Township will begin a condemnation proceeding of the JCPL infrastructure in Short Hills/Millburn.
2) Publicly solicit bids for the purchase of that infrastructure for the conclusion of the takings proceeding. The Supreme Court in Kelo v. City of London determined that this type of taking is permissible.
3) Execute the taking and resell the infrastructure.

The good news: 6 Pike Electric Bucket trucks at Taylor and Hobart. Looks like they are repairing, not assessing.

The bad news: No change at Hobart/White Oak. However, I would assume/hope that the Pike trucks are going there after they finish at Taylor.

The schools should be one of the first priorities. Why does the Hartshorn Elementary school not have power yet?

No power on Stony, Oak Hill, Inwood or Oakview.

PLEASE read my post under "Local Voices"- "No Shelter for Millburn" and comment.
Timothy Gordon who is our Business Administrator for the township which is an appointed position by the Town Council and is in charge of most operations and budget approvals for the Township including power issues, tree removals extra overtime - A Shelter for the Elderly - Basically the COO for Millburn - has been in office in this position since the 1980's. too long perhaps?

Does anybody have any idea why the town council hasn't asked for volunteers to help clear streets, organize information phone chains, keep facebook pages or websites updated? When I see Sandy Haimoff updating something personally in the middle of the highly user unfriendly patch comment section, it gives me a pit in my stomach. I think hundreds of people could have been mobilized to inform and assist others in town. what likelihood is there that town employees wouldn't allow it since it would eat into their overtime pay? just saying...

From SF Chronicle: Gov. Christie vouches for JCP&L: Comically, the Gov said all in JCP&L's purview would be powered by Sunday night, but JCP&L contemporaneously disabused the notion. Interestingly, his take his hard to find in local media.

"JCP&L, the state's second-biggest utility, was hit harder by both Sandy and by the nor'easter than the state's largest utility, Public Service Electric & Gas, he said.
'They drew the short straw on this one,' he said.
PSE&G said Thursday it expected to have power restored to all its customers by Saturday, one day later than it had projected prior to the snowstorm.
The governor said he believed New Jerseyans have shown less frustration with the utilities' response to Sandy than they did after Irene because customers have received much more information about restoration efforts. The governor required the utilities to post a timetable for their town-by-town restoration efforts"

On NPR this morning I heard a story about how local NJ mayors were upset about the progress of JCPL, but Gov Christie was defending the company (!!) saying that they were doing a great job. No wonder they're not doing jack crap. Again, it's up to us to make sure that we're not forgotten and ignored!

Since I hate feeling powerless (ugh, I made a pun) - I urge everyone to call their OEM and am reposting a comment from Lee Winter

--
Everyone-
As others have suggested, please email the Essex OEM contact essexoem@aol.com <essexoem@aol.com>; and you will get an almost instantaneous response from the OEM person -John Frucci and then a quick follow up with JCP&L with specific info. You should also call Millburn OEM at 973-564-7075.
--
And keep calling JCPL! Too many people have posted that JCPL "didn't know" about the outage on their street so don't assume anything.

Hang in there everyone. Warmer weather this weekend at least. Sigh.

Taylor, Video of Christie saying that here http://patch.com/A-zx6k

Craig Mandel at JCPL-- the contact who responded to my complaint to Essex County OEM-- emailed this morning to say that "52 crews are working in MIllburn today". Has anyone seen these crews?

talked with a colleague who lives in summit and was informed their mayor had been "very vocal and very active, well communicated with town residents"... not to attack our mayor or our government, but definitely room for improvement... good luck to all of our fellow residents, with or without power alike because power comes and goes, but the fundamental issues seem to stay and therefore no guarantee that it won't repeat.

Township Committee members will be available to meet with the public on Mondays from 8:30AM to 10:30AM on the 2nd floor of Town Hall in the conference room.

Everyone here should go

After cranking up my fireplace to defrost my shivering cat, I drove around again and saw the Pike trucks still at Taylor and Hobart. Also saw another Pike truck at Knollwood and I believe Taylor and he had a telephone pole on his truck - worth its weight in gold right now.

What happened between the reverse 911 call yesterday afternoon telling us we'd have power last night -- and today? No power. No explanation. No clarification. No leadership.

The hurricane with after snow storm is the reality. NJ got hit 4 times in 1.5 years. The school should be the first in priority. The crew should be working at Hartshorn School NOW. Schools belong to the criteria of public ulitities given the township and school board are separate but still in term of local governing.

JCP&L has put residebrs to the down poles and broken wires in danger.

Dealing with Downed Poles and Trees after a Storm
Storms often damage utility poles, power lines and trees, which can create life-threatening
hazards. Here are tips for dealing safely with broken poles, wires or trees:
◆ Treat all downed power poles or utility lines as if they’re live and carrying electric
current. Never touch or try to move them. Stay completely clear!
◆ Stay away from anything else a downed pole or power line might come in contact
with. For instance, metal fences can become electrified by fallen wires.
◆ Consider even cable television or telephone wires dangerous; any wire can be
energized if it falls or gets wrapped around an energized line, even a block away.
◆ If you see a downed pole or line, call your utility company or your police or fire
department to have it barricaded until it can be repaired. Warn others to stay away,
and keep a particularly sharp eye on children and pets.

Does anybody know if Dryden Terrace has gotten power back? Do they fall under the Hartshorn circuit?

◆ Never attempt to remove a person or animal caught in power lines, because bodies
conduct electricity. Call 911 for help.
◆ If a power line is in water, consider the water as dangerous as the wire.
◆ Beware of downed lines touching an unoccupied vehicle. Stay away from the vehicle.
◆ Never drive over a fallen wire or under a dangling one. If a power line hits your car
while you’re inside, stay put and wait for help. If the car catches fire, jump clear without
touching the vehicle and the ground at the same time. Bunny hop away with both
feet together.
◆ Watch out for power lines that might be tangled in damaged trees.
◆ Never use metal ladders or metal pruning tools when clearing debris near power lines.
◆ Never climb trees near power lines.
◆ Beware of trees that are leaning, partly uprooted or that have large broken or
OVER
cracked branches. Any of these can fall on you. Be leery of trees with roots
that might be in soggy ground.
◆ If you clean up broken branches, always use proper safety equipment such as
heavy gloves, goggles, boots, long-sleeve shirts and long pants. Drink plenty of fluids.
Ask for help when you need it. Lift with your legs, not with your back.
◆ If you use a chainsaw, obey its safety guidelines.

◆ DO NOT !! Let your children play in a puddle after a storm. There could be diseases in the water or a live electric line.

The water and broken down wires are very dangerous. We have nor'easter after Sandy. The storm is now ice that make it additional complication to the down poles and wires. The procedures has gone series wrong. The down poles and broken wires should be repaired first. The school should have attention first.

I am all for firing Tim Gordon. As he cannot handle the job, let's hire someone who is qualified. We need a hands-on manager, someone who has the ability to coordinate multiple departments and tasks. Has anyone seen him...spoken with him?

Gordon's email is administrator@millburntwp.org.

I think it is time to follow Madison's footsteps. It is time to get our government to get control of our town. Frankly, I don't believe anyone of our governement "leaders" could coordinate fleas to bite a dog but perhaps having more control of a crisis plan and crews is a help.

http://www.nj.com/morris/index.ssf/2012/11/madison_got_power_back_fast_af.html

http://70.168.205.112/millburn_nj/lpext.dll/Infobase/millburn_c02.htm?fn=document-frame.htm&f=templates&2.0

- Gordan must be dismissed by the Town Council 2/3's vote and the Town Council needs to change it's charter and impute term limits legislatively to the office of Business Administrator. This man has been in office for over 30 years - he controls everything - period - He IS the OEM for our town !
I can't imagine anyone having the power that this one office controls for so long - and doing it well.
his email is TGordon@Millburntwp.org Phone 973-564-7075 call - complain go to town hall and visit. 2nd floor. He'll probably throw you out like he did with me - and I did nothing provoke him other than ask about a town shelter for the elderly of our community the day of the nor-easter.

http://nj1015.com/lighting-up-new-jersey-classrooms/
Are we keeping up the trend, or we are on our own?

Thanks to Joel reidenberg for a great suggestion. My only change would be to bring it to a newly elected township committee. The one we have is a joke!

Power still out on Chaucer, Shelly, Dryden and the surrounding streets of Spenser, Addison, and Tennyson (non-golf course side) in the poet's district. The untouched down pole and transformer across the street is at Chaucer and Spenser.

The Electric Department follows a strict set of priorities in restoring power. First to be restored are outages that affect high voltage or sub-transmission facilities, which provide power to substations that serve large numbers of customers, hospitals, schools and businesses. Following in descending order are substation main line circuit outages, other primary lines, transformer malfunctions, downed service wires and finally nonessential street lights. Oil spills from transformers, wires blocking main highways, and wires down on buildings or vehicles are top priorities based on the hazards they pose to the public.

Wow look what information summit ascertained:

==========================
A town that has had a working shelter since Day 1 and a Town Council that actually communicates!

Hartshorn School still has no power!!!

My wife was just at the house and reported that a crew is (finally) working on Pine Ter W.

Has Millburn completed the application of FEMA yet?

This was from the Mayor's update 2 days ago -
According to Jones's report on Wedneday, 665 houses in South Mountain and Wyoming area will be restored tonight. By the end of day Thursday, 706 Short Hills and over 1,000 Glenwood area customers will recieve power
We know that these targets were not met. Does the Mayor have the Jones's report for Friday?

why is the building that annie sez and investors bank still dark?

The areas getting power last need to get their infrastructure updated first. We are the most vulnerable.

I spoke with Craig Mandel too: same BS. My "number" says that my problem is 2 poles on Hillcrest in Summit. I live on West Rd in Short Hills. No one is in my neighborhood to work on lines at Lakeview and Morris Ave. I'm tired of smelling like gasoline.

The Hurricane Sandy Syndrome: Stress, Anxiety, Depression
Individuals with mental health issues and healthcare professionals alike are struggling with Sandy-induced stress
http://www.njspotlight.com/stories/12/11/08/anxiety-and-stress-hurricane-sandy-s-invisible-legacy/

It isn’t just long-term stress that’s been a negative consequence of Sandy. The state’s only certified burn center, at St. Barnabas Medical Center, has seen a tripling in the number of cases.

St. Barnabas spokeswoman Sally Mallech said many residents aren’t aware of how to handle generators and gasoline containers.

“They’re not using them in a safe manner,” she said.

The hospital offers a series of tips for handling generators, including always keeping them outdoors and waiting for them to cool down when refueling and restarting them.

O’Dowd was among the state and federal officials who reviewed the storm response from healthcare providers at a briefing at Jersey Shore Medical Center in Neptune on Thursday afternoon.

She urged healthcare providers pay attention to their own stress levels.

conspiracytheorist

Long-entrenched Government employee J Edgar Hoover was said to have perpetuated his reign by dint of extensive and damaging files on various politicians and others. Nah, it couldn't happen here...

I would like to know what the town crisis management plan is. Do they actually have one? Supposedly after 9/11 all communities were to implement one. If we have one, where is it posted? It seems to me that in light of what has just happened, I shudder to think how this town would react to something catastrophic. It is time to take back our town and elect responsible leaders irrespective of party affiliation. Independent is the way to go. I would be up for organizing a group to start working on a plan. You can be sure this will happen again. There is a leadership vacuum.

As of 1:15 Pike trucks still working at Taylor and Hobart. On the other side of Hobart Gap, JCP&L replacing a transformer at Hobart Ave and West. Still nothing at Hobart/White Oak. Maybe the two crews will converge there. Hartshorn school still dark.

Does anyone know if the downed tree and lines on Falmouth and Cambridge is being worked on yet?

Got a reverse 911 call that power to Glenwood section will be restored by 10 PM tonight, that they are working on a problem in Springfield that according to JCP&L directly affects power to Glenwood section of Short Hills.

I signed up for the Code Red. I received only one message so far, mentioning my account is activated. THAT IS.

I do receive the phone notification. Progress of public communications is in need.

My husband called Senator Cody's office just a short time ago. His office was told by JCP&L that Hartshorn area should have power that latest noon tomorrow. I am taking that with a grain of salt. Only time will tell.

Sam - tree is gone, snapped pole is still there.

Just going along with my reply to a comment. It is day 11 qwith out power. I can not believe anything JCP&L says anymore. I hope power comes back by Sunday, but I doubting that. Time will tell, but something definitely has to be done about JCP&L. Can't stand them anymore

Here is my questions:

1. How many crews are currently working in our town?
2. What are their working hours? If not 24/7, why not?
3. Who tells them where to work today?
4. Why can't that person tell us where they are working today?
5. Can we get a list of the streets without power?
6. Has each of the downed poles, wires, and/or broken transformers been looked at by a supervisor and assessed as to the amount of work that needs to be done?
7. Why do I even have to ask these questions??????

@call...crazy

1) According to Essex OEM 52 crews are in Millburn today
2) They (seem to) stop working around 6 or 7 PM (I have seen the trucks all parking in Livingston)
3) I have no idea
4) A lack of planning/ communication system (CB radios anyone??)
5) YES!!! (if you live in Summit)
6)refer to #5
7) WHy am I answering them (LOL)

We have become the laughing stock all over. Newark,Bayonne, Jersey City, Projects in Manhattan, Fellow Millburn - Short Hills sections all have power. The joke/question is whether we are paying rent on time. ha ha

Can someone on the Township Committee please explain why the Millburn Library is closing today at 5 PM (presumably due to "budget constraints") when there are still 1,400 homes in town (according to the infamous JCP&L website) without power. Shouldn't the town keep the library open later until 9 pm like other weeknights so that our citizens can stay warm, charge devices, and allow students to catch up on the backlog of school assignments?

After the photo op, Christie and OBama have done squat...FEMA screwed up royally also.

Dear Millburn/Short Hills Resident:

I am reaching out to update you on my latest conversation with JCP&L regarding the status of their power restoration efforts in your area.

I have been advised by JCP&L that they have been successful in restoring much of the power in your area and expect to have the majority of affected homes restored by the end of today, November 9, 2012. I have been working tirelessly to ensure your power is being restored as quickly as possible, especially to Hartshorn Elementary School so children will be able to return to school on Monday.

I understand that may be of little comfort to you as you are again being asked by the utility to be patient at a time when results are long overdue. Please know that as you continue to deal with these difficulties you are encouraged to contact my office for any additional assistance or information that I or my staff can provide or to make me aware of any outages that have continued beyond the timetable provided.

Sincerely,

Richard J. Codey
Senator 27th District

Quitting at 6-7pm is total BS. If not around the clock, they have been telling the politicians and DJs on 101.5 that they're working 16 hour shifts. But then again, why would I be surprised that they're lying.

Still dark and cold on Myrtle Ave. No updates about my area on any recent Code Red messages and we weren't resolved in the ~600 estimated to be resolved Wednesday night for Wyoming/S. Mountain. I have no clue when we will have power again, if ever.

I find it offensive that now, 12 days into this, the mayor finally starts sending non-stop CodeRed messages with updates sounding like she's battling JCP&L and their inept VP when for the first 10 days we heard about leaf pick-up and recreation sports.

This is such a colossal failure!!!

ok the list begins

1)Myrtle Ave.

@ my neighbors

I am leaving work. When I get home I am going to charge up my laptop and stay online/try to help as best I can.

Let's start with a LIST of people/streets who need help

#1) Myrtle Ave.

125 units at 806 Morris Turnpike Short Hills - Townhouses Glenwood section.
250 people - families etc.

Does anyone know if Forest Drive has power yet or anyone working in that area/

I'm just wondering how many are going to just forget about all of this once they get power back and return to their daily routine.
I hope that everyone here becomes an active participant for a better governance of our township so this doesn't happen again in the future.

Great Oak, Crescent and The Crescent have power as of 6p.

Northern drive

Half of Park Circle does not have power

Tree Crew working on OSH Rd between Jefferson & Park Rd. No sure who benefits but glad to see them working at 8pm. Said pole team right behind them.

Slope Drive doesn't have power

Please if you can add Hobart Avenue to the list as well. Still in the dark.

How about the Hartshorn School itself?

No power yet on Dryden, Chaucer, Spencer, Addison and parts of Tennyson as of 8:15 pm. What's going on? Have they forgotten us? The downed pole and transformer at the corner of Spencer and Chaucer are still down. No sign of any crews working on it. This is unacceptable. What can we do? How do we get thru to JCP&L? All we get from them is that a majority of homes will be restored by Nov 11 by mid-night? Are we part of the 300 homes that going to be left in the dark?

called both town and jcp&l, DCSA (Dryden, Chaucer, Spencer, Addison) area doesn't seem to be on anyone's radar... maybe they think it is "too much effort" for too few people... let's all keep calling so our voices are heard...

SH Resident, thank you for your help. I have a friend on Colonial Way who is still in the dark. Would you include her street please?

On Park Circle, there are no trees, poles, or lines down. Just a blown transformer. How hard is it to visit our street and make this simple repair, instead of focusing the crews on the major pole replacement efforts?? The rest of our street got power back six days ago. It is simply irresponsible of JCP&L to leave part of a street dark for no justifiable reason except that we are on a cul-de-sac and no one visits us.

I emailed Mandel the photo of the downed pole at corner of Chaucer and Spenser. He was asking about my ticket number. Bureaucratic buffoonery. Why do we bother? It really means nothing to them

You are welcome, Mariana. Updated list below. I will not have internet access soon and let's keep the list going... good luck, everyone.

at least 25 streets, and counting, without power so far and it is likely all of them will be sleeping through another freezing night... :

@Joshua: I, probably like many others, are interested in being involved to fix this for the future of our town and our children. But what is the next steps? How do we organize? How do we remove our Town Council? How do we get our Town Administrator replaced? How do we reclaim our power grid from JCP&L and get PSE&G to take it over, or go independent like Madison? It sounds like we need a lawyer versed in government affairs?

I'll participate and help, I want to see change, but I don't know how to start or accomplish these things myself. Maybe we should all start meeting regularly, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly? Start up a website of something?

Citizens For A Better Millburn!

Oh, and still powerless on Myrtle Ave. Day 12. : (

I am starting to come to the conclusion that I am going to be a member of the JCP&L 300 club. Geothermal and solar starting to look more attractive.

The list is great west rd was one of the last streets to get power last time. Why can't we get an accurate list from the town where the crews are How do we rid ourselves of jcpl

Please add Minnisink Rd to the cold , dark and depressed list.

Can someone confirm date/time of next township committee meeting? I heard November 20 at 8 pm but I don't know if that's good info. Whenever it is, a large turnout is essential.

This means that Millburn is not part of the State of New Jersey!!!!

Anyone get power at the 10 pm deadline?

Please add Tulip Lane to the list of streets w/out power. Thank you!

I pickedup a homedepot generator. I will wire it to my panel to power a few criticalthings when sun comes up.

Iv got power!

6am. Still cold and dark on South Terr and Hobart. Although the crews did work at Hobart and Taylor until about 8 pm last night. I hope they got a good nights rest and today is all of ours lucky day! Didn't realize that new show Revolution is a reality show; maybe east coast is in a secret tryout for next season.

I know it was just an automated system, but there was something galling about getting my JCPL monthly bill yesterday before our power came back on.

The sun is up on Saturday morning. The gentleman from The Environment Protection Agency told me that the repair of broken poles and wires are matter between the township and the utility company at the level of local government. Please keep hope that Millburn residents are not abandon. I physically talked o the crews during their break at the West Road, they told me in the eyes that nothing is guarantee, but they will try hard to fix Hartshorn School, so the children do not have to displace to different building schools. I believe the crews are working to get back to Millburn normalcy and reputation. If the residents and parents feel left out, not to mention the kids. Tomorrow is a better day.

Also, I received two responses township committee members Sari Greenberg and Robert Tillotson to my proposal below. The Mayor and other members of the Township Committee did not respond. Both Greenberg and Tillotson said they would ask the township attorney. No timeline and not sure if they saw this as urgent. With approximately 30 streets still without power according to jayne di blaze's consolidated list, it seems to me that an ASAP public announcement (step 1 below) would push JCPL to provide quicker service and engage them more directly with our township officials.

<><>

I would like to offer a specific recommendation to pressure JCPL in the immediate term and improve our town's situation in the long term:

1) Publicly announce that the Township will begin a condemnation proceeding of the JCPL infrastructure in Short Hills/Millburn.

2) Publicly solicit bids for the purchase of that infrastructure for the conclusion of the takings proceeding. The Supreme Court in Kelo v. City of London determined that this type of taking is permissible.

3) Execute the taking and resell the infrastructure.

Please advise whether you are willing to pursue this option. Step 1 alone would get attention from JCPL to Millburn.

According to the town website, the next meeting of the township committee is Tuesday Nov 20 at 8 pm, 2nd floor town hall. Please attend. Please spread the word. If we're not there to demand the many, many infrastructure changes that must be made, then we'll have no one to blame next time but ourselves. It is clear that, left to their own devices, our elected officials and employees won't/can't do it. I know that as their power has been restored, people have dropped off this list. Please keep your friends and neighbors in the loop.

For those without power does anyone need to borrow a generator? Had our furnace wired by plumber and home got heat running off generator.

I am not sure if the sense of urgency reflects by the work ethnics in the time of crisis, after 11 days it should be an efforts at least on the remedial help than prevention. New Jersey is a Garden State and we have trees. The climate change is real, but our infrastructure is far away from being in the 21st Century. The Green Initiatives are not promising for buy in.. Our technology and labor intension are way behind. The climate change and the efficiency of the public works does not prove us the readiness for going GREEN.

Thanks for the proposal, Joel. It makes sense and I think we all agree that action/change has to be made for this town to go forward...

Further to the various lists of streets without power, our street is missing

Please keep the list updated (add/remover your street as the town heals)

Well yeah, they can. That's part of the problem.

Wishes for a warmer weekend from a member of the 300+ Club--folks at the union laundromat could not believe that parts of MILLBURN were still without power!! We were invited by kind people in vauxhall to come to their home for dinner and warmth. They hooted when we told them we'd have to go to the zoo for shelter.

Is shelter truly available at the zoo? We will need it after monday night and the cold returns!

From the forgotten part of JCP&L's world, south canoe Brook Road

Just passed a Verizon truck at Hobart Gap and West with 3 telephone poles - finally!

The JCPL website outage map shows only only 546 customers out. Yesterday the number was 1400+. So who got power?

806 morris TPKE got power an hour ago!

@Short Hill

I am very glad to hear about the 250 residents @806 Morris TPKE

Not Myrtle. :( I have been told all we need is a new transformer, no tree, wire or pole damage. The JCP&L assessment guy said it was a 'quick fix', but it seems we're pretty far down the priority list.

4 Edgewood Terr just got power! Now we can finally bring our new baby girl home! I never thought I would deliver during superstorm sandy and be without power for 12 days with a newborn. What a nightmare.

@DAn S

Call EssexOEm and explain to them that you are not a circuit issue, that you need a transformer, men, and tools sent for this "quick fix"

Keep knocking people!!!!

Sooo - drove by Hobart Ave and West again and the Verizon truck was gone and the poles he was hauling were no where to be found.

Wow! 500 homes fixed today? According to the outage map and Craig Mandel as of an hour ago 500 were fixed. I'm still out of power on Myrtle.

call these numbers:

973-324-9755

973-621-4111

Both are waysto reach EssexOEM and CMandell

There needs to be an investigation of exactly when millburn switched over to jcpl and under whose "leadership". My guess is thAt payment was made to someone to achieve this . . . Someone with an office at Town Hall. This whole thing stinks.

West Rd is the new Hobart Ave and is being used as a main thoroughfare; those poles were going someplace else. Why are we all talking to one guy, Craig Mandel? Remember, it's Saturday, his day off. Shouldn't there be a few contacts?

Just got back from my Bicycle group ride this morning and it was nice to come back to power after 12 days.
Touring through Chattam, Meyersville, Peapack doing a 50 mile loop - it all looks like a WWII movie when the artillery would bomb forests and blast through the trees - just a war zone but seemingly many even out there are returning to normal lives - not many roads blocked by trees anymore - people getting new transformers, telephone polls, lines. I'm sure things will be better by Monday here in Millburn -

But with that said - the damage is done as far as I'm concerned.
I will never forget how this town's leadership let all of it's citizens down by:

A) not having some form of continuous flow of information back and forth from the leadership of our community to the public.

B) By not providing a Town Shelter for not just the elderly - but in this storms case - Everyone - to be able to be warm - eat something - have a hot shower - sleep in a warm place - charge a cell phone and be with others in our community to console and offer help.

C) We need a new town Business Administrator who does not work with autonomy,
basically we need to change the towns bylaws so that this systemic problem doesn't occur again for the 3rd time when the October Halloween storm hits in 2013.

Does anyone have an update on the Hartshorn Area and school.

Please add parts of highland to the out of power list

No power yet on Timber Acres/Roland Dr/Ironwood. This is a predictable pattern after every storm. Leper section has lowest priority.

update at 806 Morris Turnpike
only half the buildings had power restored - The came in two trucks - fixed two telephone pole wires - left - didn't bother to check if the entire complex had power
Boy are my neighbors pissed!
Basic JCPL incompetence.

I appreciate the outrage and emotions but condemnation is stupid. I would not trust the local clowns to run a power grid any better than the incumbent operators. I'm pretty sure it would be far worse.

any update on mrytle ave?

Audubon Court - No Power !

JCPL needs to reevaluate how it goes about reconnecting people. Their resources are NOT being used correctly. If you have resources in one area, you should make sure particular areas are fully restored before moving on. Their current polices leaves homes to fall through the cracks, completely forgotten about. JCPL needs to be held accountable for their actions, as does our Mayor and administrator. Hey Tim, I hope your enjoying your power over on Locust. Once I have power, I and others will do everything possible to remove your from your post. Resign now and save us all the trouble. I'm coming for you TIM!

Have lived here for 33 years but never have the limitations of our town "government" been as clear as these last two weeks.

It's evident that the town had no real plan for this kind of emergency--no shelter, no contingency plans for heating stations, no plans for communicating when phone service has been so affected, i.e. it's not helpful to send me reverse phone messages when the wires are down and in the middle of my road, no organizing of volunteers. Has anyone from town checked on frail or elderly folks? Has anyone even seen a town official walking on their street? On Undercliff we were blocked in, by 6 fallen oaks with few people having a way to get off the street--what would have happened if there was a fire or other emergency? Sounds like Essex OEM was responsive. By contrast my calls to Town Hall were futile and interactions were polite but empty-from reading the posts here, seems true for everyone.

I suspect more than one person in our town government owns this problem--demonizing one -Gordon or Haimoff will not guarantee real change but real change is clearly what we need.

@joshua. Please call c mandell and let him know that only 1/2 the building is up.....sounds like essex oem tried fora tpuch down....but dropped the ball.... i am not home...... thanks j

Just got a call from Hartschorn School that they still DO NOT have power. Schools were supposed to be higher priority. This is egregious.

We are purportedly down to 343 "customers" without power per the JCP&L website. I know there are still approximately 90 houses in the South Terrace/West Road/Lakeview area without power. Who else is out there without power?

The new JCP&L work plan shows 81 restored today and 433 tomorrow. Of course, yesterday's work plan showed almost everyone to be restored today and the day before that, the work plan showed....well you get the idea.

JCPL site shows only 357 homes with no power. I do not want to imply that they lie, but they have not fixed the Hobart Gap pole yet or the poet section, and I am sure others are still out, are they just making it up to keep Christie from bothering them. Where is the accountability

The intersection of White Oak Ridge and Hobart Gap Road has zero progress. Broken poles and wires are left untouched all times. Worst!!!!!!

Called jcp&l and no one answered... Not so new of a strategy...

Western Drive does not have power

Thanks to Jim Crisfield for letting us know what the deal is with Hobart Gap. He is a great Mayor - oops I meant Superindentent.

Power is back on Montview Avenue

Does anybody know if power is back on in the Dryden, Spencer, Chaucer, Addison area?

Each morning the repair crews will be given the work order from the supervisor. If you know where the daily breifing take place for the crews you may have a better chance to know which location they will be working on.

Myrtle Ave Update:
An Ohio Edison truck showed up around 1pm. He was a great friendly guy on a cherry-picker truck. Houses #126-#134 have been without power since Monday night (12 days) and we are all now up on 1 phase (110v, not the full 220v) so half of our fuse panels are energized. I'm off the generator and have few extension cords to bring power into the rooms that are down. FIOS TV/Internet/Phone are up.

We don't have full power because he said our transformer is bad and has to be replaced. It's also leaking and he said it's older than we would want to know. He said he put in the order to have our transformer replaced and it *should* be done within 24 hours. He said it's about a 40 minute job.

Here's the most irritating part. To get us up on half-power, all he had to do was install spacers on some of the wires to keep them from getting tangled and turn on the breaker on the transformer. That part took him 30 minutes tops. We could have had this half power all along! I asked him about the stories of other out-of-state crews saying how terrible and out-dated our infrastructure is and he said he has seen two things these past two weeks that have amazed him. He said the level of destruction to the power infrastructure was incredible, nothing he has ever seen before. He then said that he has encountered equipment in NJ that is so old he can't remember the last time he has worked on it. I'd say he was in his 50s in terms of age.

There are few locations have broken poles and wires down on Hobart Gap Road along White Oak Ridge Road that impact Hartshorn School power outages. The crews finally showed up to Hobart Gap Road this evening at 4:30pm to observe and left. The workers all shaked heads. It seems this reporting efforts take forever to actually get things work in progress. No other independent carriers can even come to help the crews to faster the fixing work to minimize damage. Time is money and the fixing process is dragged for a very long time.

Thanks the Superintendent and the board for half day school strategy. It makes much more sense to get the classroom routine back on track even though it might be less formal.

There are trucks working at Hartshorn School now. Don't know what they're doing, but they are there.

Park Circle just came on line. 2 hrs of work by one guy from Ohio. 286 hrs w/o power.

Had to reconnect wires to two house, put a few spacers in, and flip the switch to the transformer and 7 houses got power.

Does anyone know what is happening with Hemlock Road???

Where is county executive Joseph DiVincenzo in all this? His name and face are plastered all over the cou!ty's zoos, parks and courthouses. He seems to have real leadership power and a larger voter base -- has anyone tried to get his help?

The lies and deception are more frustrating than the loss of power. Someone needs to be held accountable.

No power around Dryden, Spenser, chaucey etc, saw some trucks on white oak ridge for a bit and they are gone, guess another night of darkness...

as per list on town website, Addison Drive is not listed and has no power!

It would be great if the town council and our town business manager communicated with us. Shameful misfeasance.

The Millburn township website listing street by street restoration does NOT include Addison drive. How can this be fixed?

correction - as per neighbor Addison Drive has power!

Falmouth just got power back! Good luck to everyone who has posted. Hope power has come back as well.

correction - no power on Addison!!! JCP&L just assured me by tomorrow night!! right! that info and a subway token......

Millburn website just listed a timetable, very ambitious plan for tomorrow, an apparently missing Addison as Adrianne mentioned. Did anyone who listed as today actually got power back? Really not much faith right now...

Just drove by Hartshorn - power is on!!!!

Well Falmouth is listed for tomorrow but Susan just said that they got it. Maybe the entire street didn't get it. I spoke to a JCPL crew and they said that they do expect to have all transmission lines and circuits up by tomorrow. I also just drive by Summit ave and the traffic light is on but on a generator. The truck is still blocking the crossing though.

Had raised the issue in Summit earlier to at least start that light. Dont see the benefit of having a light on generator and then blockading the bridge with a truck. There is no change in traffic pattern as a result...

Still no power on parts of South Terrace! This is the most concerning moment yet as houses located a few doors down on one side have it and our neighbors on the other side have it.

I followed the Code Red instructions and used the Contact Us form on the township website to tell them our situation here on Myrtle Ave since we're not on the street list either. A guy wrote back to me, the assistant town manager and said he would make sure JCP&L had the info I gave him.

You should e-mail him here, and someone send him the latest street list that has been collected here on this blog.

Alexander McDonald AMcDonald@millburntwp.org

Please don't forget:

Town Meeting on Tuesday November 20th at 8pm -

Addison DOES have power! Hubby spoke with supervisor (from Iowa) of 4 crews today who told him there will be power tonight. It may go off tomorrow while they are working he wasn't sure. I will not stock up the fridge until we know that we will have power permanently. This supervisor also told hubby he did not need to purchase generator for this storm.

Coniston Road now had power!!

South terrace got power back !
Thank you all residents, who is sharing many information here.

Bottom of Addison still no power as part of the Chaucer/Spenser downed pole (still there no work done) group of 50 homes. Dryden sill out for the person who asked.

So who is going to be the leper neighborhood this time? Seems driving through town most now have power. Neighborhood next to Hartshorn of Cambridge, one side of Quaker, etc. is still out, a group of houses on Hartshorn (Side of the school down a bit), and the Poet District group of 50.

Congrats to all that got power. Hopefully the rest of us will tomorrow.

Hartshorn school has power.

Tulip lane still in the dark.

Hobart Gap Road and West Road are in dark and detachable.

West Road, Windermere, Lakeview and Hobart Gap still no power. Walked down to where the lines are down on Hobart Gap - still down. In my estimation, they will need several crew to fix the damage if we are to see power tonight. I don't have any confidence that will happen. I expect another broken deadline just like the 4 before, another night of no heat or power, another night of family dinners at Panara. Maybe I will be proven wrong but I really don't think so.
Once this is over, we all need to ask some serious questions of our towns expensive yet silent Emergency Management.

@ Jayne. Thank you! There were 8 homes that remained w/o power on Edgewood Terr due to a transformer problem. It took the men not even an hour to fix. My fingers remain crossed for everyone who still do not have power.

According to JCPL outage map only 117 customers remain without power!

UPDATE:

I need anyone who is in a powered area (a street/a building) that has partial power to help me make a new list.

We need to update JCP&L on these types of "off the map" situations

830 am the 2 houses on south terrace north of Hobart ave are still not on but the line we are on at Hobart and Taylor is activated. They just didn't throw the toggle switch for the 2 houses at the end of the line. Is anyone else still out? This is beyond frustrating telling us to call the code red number jcpl is like telling us to call a black hole!

@Jayne, thank you for providing some guidance.

@Noreen, your frustrations voice mine.

Pleasant weather is but a panacea. The cold will arrive again Tuesday night.

From the forgotten part of JCP&L's world, south canoe Brook Road

I agree Noreen, I was miffed last night to get that call too. West rd neighborhood's problem is notyom of Lakeview & Morris and 2 poles on Hillcrest & Fernwood in Summit. I had nothing better to do the other day so I drove to the 2 poles to see if the ticket number was real and its a mess there. Down wires, not roped off,I drove straight through. Cracked poles.
