This is a butch of bs.....the mayor tells people that 1900 people are going to get power to now stating that power will be restored in 2 weeks...this is crap...

Rediculous, you cannot fix the power with no workers around at all. Why is the mayor so painfully silent throughout this whole fiasco?

Robert Haffner, grow a set and work for the people of the borough and tell jcpl that 2 weeks is unacceptable...do you not know what we have been thru the last week.....must be nice that your home and the mayor's homes are nicely lit while the rest of the town is in the dark..

This is out of control. They can't explain? Come on now. Where is the assistance promised? Get the military in here to clear the downed trees and lets get some real answers!!!

A bit of a contradictory...first power restored within 2 weeks, then majority restored by Wednesday? Hmmm

Still no power by delaware ave near saint judes

Nice job Mayor Petillo!

Thanks for working hard guys even tho no one can see you guys working anywhere. Thanks for getting the main part of town open so I can get a hot cup of coffee back home to my frozen home.

At this point the town needs to demand an investigation into JCP&L's practices and how they prioritize towns. This is unacceptable.

I know who I'm not voting for as mayor of Hopatcong.

and we have 3 more years with this mayor.....wondering if this is getting done purposely to get more federal aid as hopatcong right now does not qualify for federal aid since property damage isn't enough at the moment....I wish I could move out of hopatcong....

Okay, why is CPL putting on their estimated restored report another 3552 would be restored today, Nov 5th? It seems like no one knows what they are talking about anymore including JCPL, the mayor & the OEM. Someone call in the Governor please!!

Elba point is not restored!! I live on carentan rd and am pretty sure I'm sitting in the dark right now... With the transformer still laying on the ground in front of my home, correct facts would be nice.

so I guess kids at the high school will be going to school thru august as right now its being used as a shelter...I guess I will send my freakin light bill to the town since they know how to come up with excuses and they can do the same when they come looking for their money...

be grateful have a home and that your life will return to normal once your lights go on. Some have not escaped the storm that lucky. I am still w/o power also but don't feel the need to complain. When they get to us, they get to us. It's not as if they are not trying. It's a HUGE task to take on. Thank you to ALL the workers for the work that has been done and the work this is being done. Thank you for taking 16 hours a day to get the problem resolved. I know your families miss you. Thank you

She cannot stand up to them because she took 400K of hush money, some of which paid for the new playset at Modick

Mayor petillo that is not good enough.... Do something about something for a change!

2 weeks! Are you kidding me? I am losing it! I cannot deal with not having water in my house. I want to shower and have clothes to wear to work. I am the only dirty person in my office. Do something now Jcp&l and Mayor!

I understand that there's a lot of damage.... but I also understand that you can't leave all of your citizens to find other places to live or, even worse, to fend for themselves in the dark and in the cold, while you promise power by the weekend and then say "Oops, sorry, we need two more weeks!" And without any explanation?

Shameful and sinful and a real slap in the face of all the residents sitting home every night in the dark, trying to do what they can to keep warm.

You tell them Antonio! Where is the accountability? Sure JCPL is communicating now...too bad the communication is lies! Just fess up and tell the truth. There was a crew of 19? Why not 119? With most other power restored bring those teams here! COLD, SAD & ANGRY!

The students need to get back to school. Two weeks is to long!

Someone of authority needs to help our forsaken town of Hopatcong. Each day I drive around different sections of town, there has been VERY little progress. Most of you surely see the same where you drive about. I havent seen any crews on Brooklyn-Mountain or Maxim or surrounding neighborhoods. Residents themselves are putting caution tape and reflectors on fallen trees ! There are still many HIGHLY TRAVELED roads with big HAZARDS and I've only seen 3 crews around. these workers are getting a beating out there...SOMEONE... Call in the reinforcements!!! Someone of authority like the mayor or our congressmen!!! Email or call Frelinghysen or Lautenberg! Do it now...Hopatcong and Sparta has been forgotten ...we need to get on our elected advocates asses so that they do that...advocate for our towns w/o gas, light, heat, water, and education. IT'S TIME TO SPEAK UP AS INDIVIDUALS SO THAT WE CAN BE HEARD AS A WHOLE COMUNITY!!!

This is horrible and Petillo should continue to hide instead of doing the job she was elected to do .When's the last time we've heard from our mia mayor?... Of coarse JCP_L is sticking it to Hopatcong there's no leadership to hold them accountable, on a side note a big thanks to the HPD for going above and beyond their duty to keep the town informed and safe at the same time....time to drain the pipes and lock the doors. see ya in the spring.. oops cant find my keys because there's no power!!!!

Totally unacceptable. I haven't seen one truck in my neighborhood since Friday afternoon (along Brooklyn Road / Wills Ave). The same trees have been down on the same wires for a week now. I know we are lucky compared to our fellow citizens to the south (at least those of us without a tree smashed into our homes), but being luckier than someone else isn't keeping any of us from freezing at night. I really feel like Hopatcong is being ignored. I'll be calling the mayor and Officer Haffner tomorrow.

Man up!!!is your home in the atlantic?or is it that you can't watch television?does anyone know how wide spread this natural disaster is?let's see all you babys work this hard and long hours under theses hazardous conditions,when your wife and kids are also sitting in the cold and dark.put a sweater on mary!!

Bullshit Bullshit Bullshit

TRUTH: JCP&L (First Energy Corp.) published a report to Gov. CTISTI on country by county, town by town basis on Thursday of last week. Gov. Cristi published the report to everyone citing it in his speech on Saturday, stating that it was his way of holding the power company responsible. Hopatcong Patch, and Hopatcong PD both published the link to the report. The mayor has referenced those numbers in her updates as well. IT IS NOT THE MAYOR'S OR BOB HAFFNER'S FAULT THAT JCP&L DID NOT PERFORM AS PROMISED. IT IS JCP&L'S FAULT! Did any of you know that VERIZON is responsible for putting up a good number of these poles? Verizon is responsible for tree clearing and pole repair/replacement on many of the downed poles. JCP&L can't do anything about those trees or poles owned be Verizon. Yet no one is complaining about the lack of Verizon crews in town. This nonsense of blaming the Mayor or Bob Haffner is stupidity! You people really need to get a clue as to how thongs get done.

Here's an idea, pay your JCP&L bill 3 weeks late EVERY month! When they call you to collect, tell them crews will be working in the area of your checkbook, and estimates for when payment will be made is 7 to 10 days!

Did they call in FEMA to assess the issue or...

This mayor is lame as usual, just tell people what they want to hear, with NO RESULTS !!!!

Tell JCPL not to bother...we will all be dead in 2 weeks

this is especially disconcerting for those who have special needs family members, the recovery efforts are unacceptable. I moved to New Jersey about a year and a half ago and chose Hopatcong as my town.... I am not impressed.

Mayor petillo do your job and get some answers as when the power will b back 19 jcp&l workers for the whole town Sunday thats bullsh** t

RE ELECT THE MAYOR PETILLO

Umm people.... be grateful that you are alive to gripe... have you all seen the devastation this storm created .... power crews are working hard to restore the power to the entire region...not just you... my house is probably going to be last lit as I live between maxim drive and prospect point road jefferson... reading these previous comments I am embarrased to be a fellow human being Bryce S Adams hopatcong NJ and glad to be here

Ed
Am I reading this correctly? 2 MORE weeks of 2 weeks from when we lost power. This is crazy!

The town should've had all able and willing residents help with clean up. The man power just sitting there in the town waiting, could've helped this along so much quicker. With all the chainsaws owned by the residents the trees could've been gone in no time clearing the roads for utility workers. I just don't get it!

Completely beyond unacceptable. Someone needs to come out with the truth. There are some parts of town with poles tipping over and trees still on the ground. I understand we took a hard hit but with all of the workers they supposedly have working 16 hour shifts I'd believe their would be some more progress than this.

Wait...out of 6200 utility workers in the area onlly 19 are working on Hopatcong???? Wow...just...wow....

i say we vote out petillo out of office for her lack of leadership in the town during this crucial time.

The mayor cannot force jcp&l to go faster than they are, unfortunately her hands are tied, jcp&l isnt employed by the town. The last i heard was they were waiting for poles, 63 of the snapped in half in pur town alone. But props to the mayor for being at the shelter everyday to serve meals at dinner time. Its gping to take time, we must be patient.

This is completely unacceptable. This is the third extended outage Hopatcong has suffered through in two years. Each time JCP&L put out restoration time lines and each time they missed them.

In my travels through town, I have noticed that most, if not all of the broken poles are the old, darker, and heavily splintered poles. The newer poles, which are larger in diameter, not splintered and lighter in color seem to have survived the wrath of Sandy. (even if the lines were knocked off of them). It's much faster to restring lines to a pole that's standing than it is to install new poles.

Of course my observation is not scientific and I haven't been through the whole town. Have others observed the same thing?

If this is true, then the extent of the outage and the length of time for restoration in Hopatcong can not be blamed simply on an "act of god" but is, in fact, the direct result of JCP&L's lack of adequate maintenance. I don't know what the projected life of a wood utility pole is but it most certainly is not "forever". Splintered and bent poles are clearly more likely to break than newer, more robust poles. When will our elected officials gather the courage to tell JCP&L to take a hike and either get our own electric utility in Hopatcong (buying power from the grid but also with backup generators of our own) or we could join Sussex Rural who answers to its members rather than to stock holders.

I don't think they remember there's still a tree w/wires in it here on Lackawanna either Its a line & tree that runs from pole to that person's house! They noted the snapped pole last week, but no one touched or even looked at this problem.
As for our mayor she's so full of crap her eyes must be brown!!! She's always been totally useless . What was her outcome in court for using town money to promote her choices of who we should vote for? Haven't seen that in here? Bet she got a slap on the hand & nothing else.

How can it be acceptable that they have no answers. How can it be ok to ignore a whole town suffering. People are dieing. People are getting sick. People are losing it. Why dont we have more help. We are the forgotten town. There are so many of us without power. Isnt there something we can do?. Some way to make them listen to us if we all stand up. We need help! My neighbor had a heart attack yesterday. This is inhumane. Keep your heads up hopactong. Be there for each other. No one else will understand what we are going through.

I think the mayor should pay our gas bills for our generators... Bet he would change his tune real quick...
The mayor needs to get his balls back from his wife and relearn how to run this town

No power off broadway! Never even saw a jcp&l vehicle over here. Can the mayor open her house up so I can do laundry?

It's obviously a monumental task, but the most frustrating thing is the lack of communication / flow of information. There hasn't been a single utility worker in our neighborhood yet. Not one. I'm sure they're working very hard, but without seeing the actual boots on the ground on our streets, my confidence level is very low. The only reason some of our streets are somewhat passable is thanks to a few residents with chainsaws. We still have lines laying in the roads, services poles snapped and dangling in mid-air, streets completely blocked by trees. It's a mess! They should at least come through and take care of the immediate safety concerns.

2 weeks is not acceptable. Why doesn't the mayor or Haffner get on the phone with JCP&L and demand shorter turn around times and hourly updates. If they can't get that they should escalate to the govern. I have a 19 month old son I can't bring home because we have no heat. My wife is about to go into labor any day and when our second son is born I can't bring him home because we have no heat. I still see lines down on Maxim, when will these be fixed? And now another storm is coming, oh great.

But hey, we have the shelter right? Petillo, not everyone can go to the shelter, I'm not going to have a small child run around the place while my wife tries to breast feed a new born. GET THE POWER BACK ON NOW!!!!

732 346 3200 .... News 12...call so they send crews here!
800 662 3115....jcpl .... Make SURE YOUR OUTAGE IS REPORTED

Not one tree moved.. except for people foraging for fire wood.. very sad that Hopatcong seems to have been forgotten

Hopatcong is full of BS .stop spending money at the town hall I can care less how the town hall looks . hopatcong emergency services suck suck big time spend the money on emergency service they stink.

OK I gotta go to hopatcong high school for emergency services
OK why can I walk to the civic center for emergency services
I have no gas or a car what do I do then
Dumb asses I hopatcong
walk to the hopatcong high school

When is someone coming to Northwood?

I've called anyone and everyone I can call. I called Borough hall, and funny enough, they have a recording that says "Due to the Holiday, offices are closed". WTF HOLIDAY are they talking about - this has been a Holiday for us?!! But then I was able to follow the options to get the the mayors office, and the woman who answered, who did not give me her name, said she knows nothing, but gave me the # to OEM. I called that #, but got a voicemail so I left a message. I'm up in the hills. Absolutely nothing has been done. I understand that substations have to be repaired first before any work to downed trees/utility poles, but how badly were our substations affected? And HAVE any repairs been done yet?! JCP&L refuses to tell me a damn thing.

Funny how we can get the "center of town " running but not the citizens-

This is criminal! We pay taxes but our government continues to fail us as other towns lobby hard for quick repairs while our mayor sits silent. There is rumor that News 12 is coming to Hopatcong so please, anyone in town, make it known just what a terrible job our local government and JCP&L are doing and the lies they are telling us. With winter now bearing down on us, we are in even more need of electricity. I am no slouch when it comes to survival and have done well so far with a wood burning stove and grilling but as a professional, I need power to do my work and pay my bills. Shame on you Mayor Petillo and JCP&L!

I know many people have lost everything in this storm. I feel for them. I pray for them. It doesnt change what we are going through more than a week later when majority have electric. To those who feel we shouldnt complain, how can you sit back when you cant even get an answer as to why they cant get power restored. How can some of you down us for expressing our fustrations and sadness. You dont know every individuals situation that may be so much more sever than yours. Some have run out of money and cant afford the gas to get food at the sheltors.

Ok hoptacong i have read everyones comments here and have place some myself. Im tired of this. I want to do something to help us thats constructive. There are alot of us. Any ideas anyone? We are all in the same boat in this town. Lets get together! If there is enough of us maybe the news will come,maybe the truth will come out. It has to be better than doing nothing. We need to set a meeting place and time

I have not seen ANY crews doing ANYTHING and we are a block from the middle school! Oh, except for the road and water work (a scheduled project not an emergency issue) the town has started YESTERDAY to dig up the roads! WTF! Like we don't have enough problems with the town doing NOTHING to restore us...we cannot afford this!!!

Keep voting republican! And that goes for Mitt the Twit. You think we have it bad now, if he gets in the whole country is going down the toliet, except the rich. This whole borough is run by republicans.

Can somebody explain to me how any of this is the Mayor's fault? Last time I checked Mayor Petillo is not Mother Nature nor does she have any magical power to compel JCP&L to restore all of our power. You have a storm of a life time that knocks power out to 2.5 million homes. The Borough looks like a war zone of trees, wires and poles and yet you blame the Mayor? It was JCP&L that reported to the Mayor that power to 1,900 homes would be up by Sunday. Not her fault that she reported back. Power is on in the center of town because that is where our Police are. JCP&L restores power in the following manner. Emergency Services, Vital infrastructure such as water treatment and sewer pumping stations. Then they go to areas where they get the most bang for their buck. If they can get power back to 10,000 people in one shot they go there. If it is a cluster of 10 homes without power they will be towards the end. Everyone needs to take a deep breath and be thankful for all that you have. There are people that lost families and everything they own. Instead of complaining about how unacceptable this is, give thanks for what you have. If your cold go to the warming shelter. This stinks but let's stop blaming the Mayor.

Its just a numbers game for JCPL. Restore the easiest areas first and say " oh we have 1000 people with power today". While the hardest hit area waits. Take a picture of the scene at the high school and send it out. Start making some NOISE!!!

Mayor totally lost control of this one - Everybody in Hopatcong you know what to do when re-election (3yrs) comes up - Hopefully I will be long gone from this town by then - Contact News 12 - 732-346-3200 to report status so crews report on this issue

I can't help but laugh, all the people who think the Mayor or Robert Haffner have any ability or power to tell JCP&L what to do are ridiculous. Do you think Hopatcong is the only town with this mess? People are suffering all over the state, so get over yourselves and deal. At least this town has a shelter, many others do not have anything in place.

Keep voting republican!

The center of town if very important to get up and running. I have no power at my home either but I was thrilled to see that we can go to the service stations, the ATM for cash and most important the pharmacy for crucial medications. If that was the focus for a couple of days, I can live with that. Help your neighbors, Hopatcong. We are in for a long haul.

The biggest issue is lack of and conflicting information. If I'm not getting power back till X day, I might not be happy but as long as on X I get power back I can live with that because I can plan around it. The current information on the town web site is inadequate, that on the JCP&L website is apparently fictional. All I ask of the Mayor and the OEM is to get accurate informaiton from JCP&L and let the world know about it. She/they can't climb up a pole and fix the wires any more than I can - they can keep the pressure on for real information.
I just keep telling myself that my house may be cold and dark but it's standing, my family and friends are all alive. That's what really matters.

If you need a hot shower the North Jersey Health and Fitness in Ledgewood where the old Ramsey was will let you shower there even if you are not a member. I saw a sign at the Health Club on Rt. 15 by Arura lighting making the same offer. Thank you to all who are donating their time and working at our Shelter at the High School where you can also take a hot shower and get hot food.

If we had Sophia Petrillo (Estelle Getty's character from the Golden Girls) for mayor, instead of wimpy Silvia Petillo.... maybe some communication would happen, and we'd get some action! It's nice that she wants to cook for the folks at the H.S. , but she should be the mouthpiece for our needs.

We ALL know that the shore took a huge beating and people are homeless...and we've been patient (8 days worth)...but don't you think we deserve a fair share of utility crews here where we have been desperate as well ???? We are ALSO displaced from our homes and schools!!!! If there were a crew anywhere near my home in the past 8 days I'd be grateful n handing them coffees and high fives(since that's all I got) ....but there are NONE! I've seen 2 truck loads of telephone poles just sitting there...the crews are NOT here to fix them!

At this point....'manning up' is speaking out for our community however we can

HERE ARE 3 EASY THINGS EACH OF YOU CAN DO RIGHT NOW!!!
http://frelinghuysen.house.gov/contact-us/...congressman. Click on email us....they are calling each person who emails them back individually today .... Get these people inundated with calls they have to return!!! Blow those emails up!!! Be heard....he IS our representative. Short n to the point...no school, no water, no heat, displaced family.
CALL...732 346 3200 .... News 12...call so they send news crews here!
800 662 3115....jcpl .... Make SURE YOUR OUTAGE IS REPORTED...they send scouts to look for issues, help them out....this may be why reports are incorrect.

Squeaky Wheels people....do it!

Here's something...JCP&L Outage report. Yesterday morning, it showed 4,000 something people affected, 6,000 something served, and 66% affected. ( I don't recall the exact #s but I know affected was in the mid- 4000s and served was in the mid 6000s).

Today, as of right now, it shows 2773 affected, 6540 served, and 42% affected. So if approx 2000 people were served, and 20% of customers served, then why is the # of customers served still 6540. Shouldn't the # of customer served have gone up into the 8000s? They are full of shit.

Frankly, I don't care so much about the lights, the no heat and no water part bothers me. I am sharing a generator my neighbor offered to let me plug my refrigerator into it so that I won't lose my food like I did the last 2 hurricanes. I unfortunately don't have the money to purchase even a small generator to power anything. I am worried the pipes in my house will burst from the cold and worried my trees that luckily withstood Floyd, Irene, and now Sandy may end up coming down yet.
But you know what? I really no longer care, I am that fed up with all of it, I called my bank today who holds my mortgage and told them one more week and I am walking away, do what you have to do. There ya go Syl another $8k in property taxes out the window. Keep it up, soon it will be a ghost town; it'll be so quiet you'll be able to hear your self aging.

The town is a disaster and it is completely unacceptable . The residents of the this community lives are on hold and it is beyond comprehension that we may not get our power back for weeks. I pay 8000 in taxes for nothing, my electric bill averages 200 a month for nothing. JCP&L should be brought up on charges for theft, I can't go back to work my home is 40 degrees and I try to get my child out of district for school. I hate the town, its leadership and the companies that serve the residents. I have lived in the town since 2005, building a home here has proved to be the largest mistake in my life....I feel bad for my family because of the mistake I made in deciding to move here. Since 2005 this is at least the 8th prolonged outage of power and I believe the third in the last year......To all the politicians, I know the town is a complete pit but we are human beings who when our taxes are due pay, when our utility bills are due we pay and finally on this election day when the time comes to vote we keep or remove you from office. The mayor should be ashamed, i know I'm ashamed to live here.....PLEASE HELP THE RESIDENTS OF THIS SMALL TOWN BY LETTING US GET BACK TO OUR LIVES!!!!!!!

Trying to see if I can comment

Sylvia doesn't read patch.

email your concerns to her at spetillo@hopatcong.org

The one main thing I had noticed is that there is a severe lack of communication, whether its the power company or the town officials....

Why is the percent out going up? It was as low as 35%, now the jcp&l website says 43% out in Hopatcong. What gives?

Ok everyone, go to town hall and sign up to volunteer...move some debris, bring your chainsaw, and if you can't do that, pass out coffee. This is our town, and we should all assume some responsibility to get our community back! Complaining isn't going to do anything but get us more wound up. There's no official volunteer program, but if we pool what's left of our resources, we can get this show on the road! A few people I know, including my own family have cleared some trees from the road and cleaned some debris already. We all want our power back, let's do what we can to make that happen.

There was some improvement yesterday, with truck on main roads, anyone seeing trucks today? I'm at work, so I'm not around town...

I just got off the phone with the mayor and she was very helpfull. She shared with me what is going on. Hopatcong has been assigned a rep from JCP&L. That rep is not giving us acruate numbers. We are missing residents from the list that JCP&L uses for hopatcong. The mayor has been workign with Washington to get us help. After my long talk with her i feel alot more confident then ever that mayor petillo is workign with us not against us to get this issue resolved.

Amongst the down poles and wires in my area, we also had a tree sitting on top of a utility pole. Not sure what if any damage was done to the pole but it was leaning pretty low, but appeared to be intact. I'm at work, but I got word that an Asplundh (Sp?) tree service was finally at our location to deal w/ the tree. So I feel good that that is getting done, however that only involves the tree and has nothing to do w/ power restoration. A step in the right direction for sure, but I'm still not seeing anything about power getting done anytime soon. I called news 12 NJ myself yesterday, so I'm sorry I missed them in town, where were they by?

Adam you are delusional

ABSOLUTELY CRAP!!!!!!!
The mayor had her power restored and then sent the trucks to Mt.Arlington from what I heard.
I also agree.How can we get power back if NO TRUCKS are around. I was hocked to see lakeside blvd open.
I live on skidmore and no one around me has power. Go figure the center of town has it first though wtf,.
Every other town has power pretty much BUT Hopatcong. I am pretty fed up with this town.

After this debacle is squared away I think it would be appropriate for two things to happen:

1. Fire the entire existing Administration and get some new blood in there every election it's the same people or the other usual suspects that get elected it's a ridiculous cycle. As you can see, "experience" is NOT always dependent on how many years you have "performed a task".

2 A Class Action suit should be filed against JCP&L and the Board of Utilities if for no other reason than to have it docketed and duly noted as a matter of record.

But what do I know, I am at the "Walk-Away" point, I realize that would do enormous damage to my credit history but at this moment I am not concerned about that issue at all. So if anyone out there is looking for a good deal on a large comfortable home, let me know....

I am a member of Hopatcong CERT we have worked tirelessly with AmeriCorps and Red Cross to provide food warmth and sleep for our fellow Americans. If you are alive and well quit complaining. This was a disaster of historic proprotions not a plot to upset your good life. Be Safe Be Well Be Happy Jeff Guttenberger

I live on Indian Trail, Hopatcong, and it is now November 10th. and still no POWER from JCP&L!!!! who dropped the ball here.... you call customer service and all you get is... your account number please, your name... then you start all over again about the situation and the response is... we will be putting in a new ticket for you because you previous one has expired...?????What the Hell are you talking about.. been without power since 5:18 PM Monday, Oct. 29th along with many others. but have yet to see a truck except for yesterday, Nov 9th. 2 trucks to be exact on Lakesdied Ave. which runs into Indian Trail. Then I was told that my power comes from Dover, NJ sub station??? We want a reliable person if any that is associated with JCP&L to tell us what the hell is going on and a representative of the town that can give us some peace of mind in this aftermath instead of all the lies that have been told. Lakeside Ave. has been hit hard which leads into Indian Trail... half of all the trees were cut by our own....we need help up here!!!!! 2 wks and no power has damaged alot in some homes who btw have septic and well which is most of us...now saying this Sunday, Nov. 11th... I will be calling this morning to see what lie I hear next....
