1. Do they not chirp when the battery needs to be changed?

   • For the cost of a few batteries??

2. Vote for Larry Loigman on election day!!!

3. You should check and replace your detectors’ batteries, as needed, at least twice a year when changing the clock. It’s not a good idea to rely on a detector’s low battery signal for a number of reasons.

   If you go away for a night or a few hours during the day you may never know that the battery burnt out in the meantime until it’s too late.

   The low battery alert may sound and burn out over a Shabbos or a Holiday, especially a 3 day Holiday that comes along with its heightened  carbon monoxide risks, and you will be left without a vital warning system.

   Some detectors may malfunction and never alert, especially if it is beyond its recommended 10 year life span.

   Also, because batteries weaken in cooler temperatures, the low battery alert will typically start sounding at night when the temperature is cooler. You may not hear it at night and/or forget about it in the morning rush and the battery will have burnt out before you remember to take care of it.

   Many people are not familiar with and don’t know what the low battery alert is for, as evident by some of the calls received by the Fire Dept.

   These are just a few reasons to be proactive. After all, it doesn’t take much effort or time and it could save your life. Do it today.

4. Vote for Denise Gregory, the VAAD backed candidate. She will work for the township residents as well as work with the Lakewod Fire Department. She has worked with the VAAD in the past and has served as a bridge between communities, helping to develop common positions and platforms for the benefit of all. She has a strong background in finance and is highly regarded by all who know her. Her dedication has earned her the support of so many of the volunteers and professionals who put themselves on the line for us. Denise will be a Commissioner for the people and the Fire Department as well.

   • The Vaad Did not endorse her, they sent out a 12 page endorsement and they did not endorse her. She has never worked to bridge communities. she is a active member of SAG and She has worked to divide communities.

5. Yes, they did endorse her. She is included in the single page flyer that was sent out with their endorsements. She was inadvertently left out of the 8 page, longer report. A second single page flyer was distributed and includes Denise Gregory for Fire Commissioner.

6. Choosing clock change to replace the batteries is imbalanced, since standard time spans only 4 months f the year now. Fourth of July and New Years would make more sense.

   • Yaakov,
     It’s just an easy way to remember, a simple rhyme that flows. The point is the same regardless. Test and change your batteries at least twice a year. Do it Pesach and Sukkos, Tu B’Shvat and Tu B’Av, or whichever symmetrical times appeals to you.
