• NJ Students Identify 'Atlantic City John Doe' As Man Missing 45 Years (patch.com) — Mahwah's Ramapo College Investigative Genetic Genealogy Center helped identify the long-unknown "Atlantic City John Doe" as retired Coast Guard officer Glen Napoleon Burbage, missing since 1981. Using DNA from one of Burbage's children and extensive family-tree research, students and state investigators confirmed his identity, though New Jersey State Police are still seeking information about how and why he died.
• Your Breast Health Matters: The Importance of Screening (roi-nj.com) — Women in Mahwah can schedule screening mammograms close to home through Valley's online system, with appointments available at its Mahwah location as well as Paramus, Montvale, and Ridgewood. The article explains why starting annual mammograms around age 40 matters, outlines Valley Breast Center's advanced imaging technology, and emphasizes early detection and coordinated care if cancer is found.
• Things to Do in New Jersey This Fall: Farms, Cider, Foliage + More (thelocalgirl.com) — Mahwah residents are reminded that Ramapo Valley County Reservation is a prime nearby spot to soak in peak fall foliage on 15 miles of marked trails, from easy walks to tougher hikes.
