South Hackensack Committee Update
By PaTTI MCnaMaRa During the South Hackensack Township Committees Feb. 14 meeting, a resolution appointing Elizabeth Donnarumma as accounts payable clerk, payroll clerk and assistant to the chief financial officer was adopted. In other business, three tax appeal resolutions were approved, urging Committeeman Gary Brugger to call for a tax appeal refunding bond of $340,000. Refunding bonds have to be paid off in five years, Brugger said. Revaluation is very expensive, but we should look at reassessment to get some balance here. A person-to-person, placeto-place liquor license transfer from Teggianos to Wine and Liquor Depot was approved. Township Attorney David Nasta noted that the township entered an amendment in the wine store developers agreement to allow wine tasting and sale of packaged goods. Nasta recommended that the developer be alerted that he must abide by all state Alcoholic Beverage Control Board laws. Salvatore Zito was appointed as a recreation commissioner for a fouryear term. Municipal Clerk Donna Gambutti was appointed as an insurance fund commissioner. Mayor Frank Cagas voiced his concern over the growing number of residents throwing snow in the streets after the plows have cleaned. Cagas, who spent some time riding in a plow with Department of Public Works Superintendent Larry Paladino during the most recent snow storm, said that both private contractors and residents are contributing to this problem. Cagas also spoke about sidewalks not being shoveled and the need for a smaller machine to clear certain areas in town where plows are unable to maneuver. Police Chief Michael Frew was asked to increase the police presence and issue summons to people who dump snow in the streets or leave cars parked in the street during a storm. After much discussion, Brugger said, Its an enforcement issue. Committeeman Bill Regan suggested the DPW call the police desk whenever they are plowing and see an infraction. The police could then dispatch an officer to write summonses or tow cars. It was also suggested that if the police dont see the contractors putting the snow in street, they issue a summons to the business that hired them.
little Ferry Fire House Renovated

By Joy BelgIoVIne Dozens of residents joined elected local officials on Feb. 27 for a ribbon-cutting ceremony to unveil the newlyrenovated Little Ferry Hook & Ladder Company No. 1 station. The fire house was severely damaged by Hurricane Sandy and was repaired and renovated thanks to the efforts of the fire department and local organizations, which donated supplies and money. Little Ferry is a small town, but we have a big heart, said Mayor Mauro Ragueso. People like those who serve on our fire department make sure that this heart keeps beating. Rebuilding Together, an organization that provides free critical repairs, accessibility modifications and energy efficient upgrades to low-income homes and community centers, partnered with Sears and its Heroes at Home program and several local businesses, skilled trades persons and local firefighters to get the job done. The Main Street fire house,

The devastation made it very difficult for the firefighters to properly serve the community, but they still fielded more than 400 fire calls while the building was flooded. Due to the extensive water damage, the entire building needed to be gutted. Repairs included electrical work, framing, tile, sheetrock/ painting, kitchen installation and replacing two bathrooms. Volunteers from Rotary District 7490 and IBEW Local 164s electricians donated hundreds of man hours. We know that communities are still hurting from Super Storm Sandy, said Ron Boire, executive vice president, chief merchandising officer and president, Sears and Kmart Formats. Alongside Rebuilding Together, we are committed to helping communities return to a sense of normalcy in the coming months. Its encouraging to see whole communities pitch in for the effort. We hope the work were contributing to will continue to inspire others to help.

The Hackensack Board of Education hired a consulting firm to search for a permanent superintendent during its public meeting on Feb. 11 at Hackensack High School. The approval of a resolution to hire Leadership Advantage didnt come without dissention from some board members. Trustee Clarissa Gilliam-Gardner said she felt that the board was rushing the appointment, but Trustee Jason Nunnermacker reminded her that the whole search and hiring process would take six to seven months and a deadline is looming. We need a superintendent seated no later than Nov. 30 when (Interim Superintendent Joseph) Abates term is over, said Board President Veronica Bolcik-McKenna, who added that the school district has been fortunate to have an interim leader but must hire a permanent schools chief as soon as possible. A vote to table the hiring of Leadership Advantage was defeated by a vote of 5-4, and the resolution was approved. While Gilliam-Gardner continued to protest the approval after the vote, BolcikMcKenna emphasized, We need to move forward. In other meeting business, Dominick Polifrone, director of the Hackensack High School Drop-In Center, introduced Narda Ludena who made a presentation on the centers programs in hopes of saving them from elimination by the school board. My passion is to extend a hand to children, said Ludena, who has worked in the center for 18 of the 25 years its been in existence. The center, which operates in collaboration with Hackensack University Medical Centers Institute for Behavioral Health Sciences, is staffed by licensed workers trained in mental health issues. Students and school district staffers are offered crisis intervention, individual, couple and family therapy, tutoring, early intervention and employment assistance. The Drop-In Center employs five full-time workers with salaries totaling private firms, the cost would have been more than $300,000 for only half the school year, Ludena said. Several students spoke openly about how the Drop-In Center had helped them. One senior told of her the experience she gained by working as an intern at the center. A former Hackensack High School student said the Drop-In Center provides an important, safe and confidential place for students. The students, both past and present, begged the school board not to eliminate Drop-In Center or any of its programs. Abate and Bolcik-McKenna agreed that the program works. We are looking at ways to make improvements to the system, not take it away. Gilliam-Gardner offered an update on the boards Diversity Committee. She is hoping to organize a district-wide Diversity Day versus having separate functions at each school. Trustee Mark Stein reported that the boards new Memorial Committee has been formed and recently met for the first time. The committee is comprised of two school administrators, the interim superintendent, three board members and two members of the public. Stein urged those in attendance to recommend honorees, such as former teacher or administrators who have passed away and deserve to be honored. Trustee Angel Carrion reported on the cafeteria menu changes that were recently instituted. These include replacHACKENSACK PUBLIC SCHOOLS Hackensack, New Jersey 2013-2014

On March 1, the five members of the Hackensack Coalition for Open Government gathered at City Hall as a united team to formalize their intention to run in the May 14 election. We are dedicated to improving the quality of life for the citizens of Hackensack, said Martin, a retired Hackensack police officer. In addition to implementing our own plans for the improvement of our community we look forward to meeting with our residents to learn what is on their list of concerns as well. The team has pledged transparency in city government. They took the opportunity to unveil their 10-point plan for open government. Formally adopt the Local Open Government Principles. Establish a local ethics board to monitor and review actions of city officials and employees in regard to conflicts of interest and other ethical violations. Establish a Citizen Complaint Review Board to offer residents an alternate route in reporting unsatisfactory dealings with city employees. Establish a Civil Litigation Review Board to assess the validity of claims against the city and eliminate and protect our tax payers from exorbitant legal expenses. Publish proposed ordinances on the citys Web site, www. Hackensack.org, and offer the opportunity for online public comments. Create a mechanism on the citys Web site to allow for online petitions concerning local issues of interest and concern. Require representatives of city departments to attend public council meetings to report on activities and answer questions from residents. Issue monthly reports to residents describing the significant issues and activities for that month. Televise city council meetings. Re-establish and promote City Hall office hours so that residents can seek the help and services of their city council. We plan to announce our teams position on the other very significant issues and challenges facing our community as this campaign progresses, said Campaign Manager Roger Mattei.

breakfast menu. Abate reported that he would be meeting with Hackensack Police Director Michael Mordaga to discuss security in all schools. During the public portion of the meeting, Daniel Carola, a Hackensack High graduate, said he was appalled by the allegations against Trustee Kevon Larkins. Larkins was recently arrested on domestic violence charges. Carola called for Larkins to do the right thing and resign immediately. Carola said Larkins should be a role model for the students but instead has exhibited brash behavior while serving as a trustee on the school board. Larkins is allowed to remain on the board unless he is convicted of aggravated assault, officials said. Enough is enough. He needs to realize that this is the court of public opinion, said Carola. However Mildred Dodson stepped to the microphone and said she had walked the streets to get Larkins elected and believed in him. I suggest that you sit right there and hold your head high, she said to Larkins. Several residents questioned what progress was being made with the teachers contract. Richard Salkin, school board attorney, said the trustees could not answer any questions about the contract negotiations because a state mediator has been brought in and the matter was confidential.

Developers offered early advice

The first meeting of the Hackensack Planning Boards Pre-Application Concept Review Committee took place on Feb. 25 at city Hall. The goal of the committee is to help streamline the zoning and planning process for developers. It is completely voluntary and not a required part of the approval process. Someone who is looking to develop a property is often bogged down by red tape, which requires an attorney, engineer and planner to decipher. All of those people and all of the requirements will still be necessary but the committee can offer some advice up front. The developer may be able to obtain an approval more quickly and potentially save money due to revisions and more visits to the boards. We are open for business, said City Manager Steve Lo Iacono. We want to try to help develop the city. The committee is comprised of the construction official, city planner, city attorney, city engineer, zoning officer, city manager and anyone else the city manager designates for that particular meeting. Councilwoman Karen Sasso attended the first meeting. The committee will meet every other Friday, provided there are applicants. In order to schedule a meeting with the committee, call the city managers office, 201646-3900.

Catch Rent Before its gone

Project lifesaver Rescue On Feb, 7, the Bergen County Sheriffs Office was asked by the Rochelle Park Police Department to assist in the search for a missing 69-year-old township man who suffers from Alzheimers. Fortunately, the man is a participant in BCSOs Project Lifesaver, a rapid response rescue program designed to locate adults and children who have gone missing due to Alzheimers, autism, Down syndrome, dementia and other disorders. Participants are fitted with a lightweight wristband with its own unique frequency, allowing BCSOs Project Lifesaver team to locate and identify someone who has wandered away from home through the use of a speciallydesigned radio receiver. This technology is used by all 21 county sheriffs offices in New Jersey. BCSO Officer Vincent Surace partnered with Rochelle Park Police Officer Doug Arendacs to search for the man, who was last seen near the Railroad Avenue entrance to Saddle River Park. Surace began a sweep of the area utilizing the technology and quickly identified a man who matched the description in the park. Within an hour of the officers being dispatched, the man was returned safely to his family. The officers involved in this incident quickly coordinated their efforts,

utilized the Project Lifesaver technology and rescued a citizen who was disoriented and exposed to the elements, said Sheriff Michael Saudino. With a major snow storm approaching, it was absolutely necessary to locate this individual as quickly as possible. Congratulations go to them and to the Project Lifesaver team. Anyone interested in applying for Project Lifesaver should call the BCSOs Community Outreach Unit, 201-3363540, for an application. Discovered Marijuana While helping a motorist with a disabled vehicle during the snowstorm on Feb. 8 two Bergen County sheriffs officers seized a substantial amount of marijuana and arrested the driver. At approximately 8:25 p.m. that evening, Sheriffs Officers Hisham Sheikh and Alexis Mena were en route to the Bergen County Justice Center in Hackensack after serving a temporary restraining order. While traveling eastbound on Essex Street in Lodi, the two officers observed the driver of a Dodge Durango lose control of his vehicle in the snow, hit a traffic pole and come to a halt in the parking lot of 338 Essex St. Sheikh and Mena activated the patrol vehicles emergency lights and approached the driver, John Harris, 52, of Paterson, who appeared to be disoriented. As Mena checked the vehicle for other passengers, he spotted a gray scale on the back seat and smelled marijuana emanating from the vehicle. When questioned about the smell, Harris produced a small plastic bag from his pocket containing marijuana and gave the officers consent to search the vehicle, reports said. K-9 Officer James Schielzo and his dog, Noki, were dispatched to the scene to conduct an open air narcotics sniff of the vehicle, and Noki offered a positive indication on the vehicle. Further investigation revealed a bucket containing four large plastic bags and a small baggie totaling approximately three pounds of marijuana. Harris was arrested and charged with drug possession and distribution charges as well as possession of drug paraphernalia. He remains at the Bergen County jail awaiting extradition on an immigration detainer set by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. I commend Officer Sheikh, Officer Mena, K-9 Officer Schielzo and K-9 Noki for the diligence they displayed during the incident, said Sheriff Michael Saudino. Im proud of the way they handled themselves and confident that their professionalism and commitment to service resulted in the removal of these drugs from the streets of Bergen County.

Tickets have been selling steadily since they went on sale in early January. We have a pretty aggressive advertising campaign within the school, on public access, and on our Facebook page, Director Caseen Gaines said.

youth Wrestling Coach arrested

While the Hackensack High School gym was overflowing with North Jerseys best young wrestlers, their coaches and parents for the Twin County Junior Wrestling Leagues annual regional championships on Feb. 23, police said one Hoboken coach exposed himself and masturbated in a hallway. Hackensack police arrested Brandon Kinney, 28, of Hoboken, two days following the tournament after a surveillance camera captured him committing the lewd act, reports said. The scene was discovered by the high schools resource officer during a random check of the weekends camera footage. In the video, Kinney was seen fondling himself near the gymnasium at approximately 1:15 p.m. while the tournament was in high gear, said Hackensack Capt. Thomas Salcedo. Kinney was charged with one count of lewdness and was released on a summons. Kinney worked as a coach for the EDGE School of Wrestling in Hoboken, which trains the Hoboken PAL wrestling team as well as private clients, both youngsters and adults. Following Kinneys arrest, the following message was posted on the clubs Web site. Due to the seriousness of the charges, he has been dismissed immediately from any and all responsibilities and is no longer associated with the EDGE Hoboken in any way. Effective immediately, Brandon Kinney is prohibited from entering any EDGE-related premises. The security and welfare of our class members remain a top priority, and EDGE Hoboken will continue to take all measures necessary to ensure a safe athletic environment for all who utilize the facility.
Hackensack Council Update

By PaTTI MCnaMaRa During the Hackensack City Councils Feb. 19 meeting, a resolution congratulating the Hackensack Police Department on its 125-year anniversary was approved. The force started out as the Hackensack Improvement Commission on Feb. 21, 1888 when two men split the city in half and patrolled its streets. Mayor Michael Melfi noted that over the years, police headquarters has been located at many different locations around the city but found its home on Central and State streets in 1958. In other business, City Manager Stephen Lo Iacono reported that Hackensack will take part in Youth in Government Day on March 20. Lo Iacono explained that the city will partner with the schools, and elected officials and department heads will be shadowed by students as they go about their business during the course of the day. Lo Iacono announced that the city is now using the Nixle Emergency Notification System, which allows city residents who register to receive emergency notifications and other pertinent information via emergency phone call and text message. Residents may register by visiting www.hackensack.org. During the public comments portion of the meeting, several residents questioned the $150,000 pay-out to Tomas Padillla, the recently retired police captain and interim police chief. City officials said Padilla was due the money as he had unused vacation days, sick time and compensatory time at the time of his retirement. A dispute over the parking of garbage trucks in a city neighborhood has been settled amicably by the two parties involved, Daniel Ferretti, a business owner, and Steven Berrio, a resident. Berrio reported to the council that Ferretti has agreed to stop parking trucks in front of his house, and he believes they have formed a friendship. Melfi thanked the men for coming to an agreement in an amicable manner.

Heartburn, Acid Reflux Sufferers: S Dental opens in Rochelle Park By Joy BelgIoVIne It was the beginning of the natural Cures Work Best first quarter, and they started
By DR. PHIlIP DI PaSqUale Taking over-the-counter antacids such as Tums and prescription antacids such as Prilosec, Prevacid, Nexium, Pepcid or Zantac offer only temporary relief and really dont address the true cause of heartburn. Poor food combining and lack of stomach acid production may be the cause. Try this simple remedy and see how you feel. Never eat starches and proteins together. Instead, eat them with vegetables. For example, when you eat have spaghetti dont include meatballs. Just enjoy with plain marinara sauce. You can add any vegetables such as steamed zucchini or eggplant to the sauce if you desire. Stop eating meat, chicken, fish, eggs or beans with potatoes, rice or pasta. Instead, eat these proteins with lots of steamed vegetables and a big salad. Reduced stomach acid or hydrochloric acid (HCL) can be caused by stress, the aging process and poor diet, which causes a lack of minerals such as zinc and chloride To see if you lack hydrochloric acid just go to your local vitamin shop and ask for a HCL food supplement and follow the directions on the bottle. In addition to proper food combining, always eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly. These are some easy solutions to a very common health problem. Dr. Philip Di Pasquale is a chiropractic physician and nutritionist. He may be contacted at Bergen Spine & Wellness Center, 106 West Pleasant Ave., Maywood, N.J., 07607, 201-820-1441 or bergenspinewellness@gmail.com. Combining his lifelong love of professional sports with a passion for transforming smiles, Dr. Jason Schepis has brought his new state-of-theart dental facility to Rochelle Park. Originally opened by Dr. H. Hugh Gardy in 1961, S Dental moved from Maywood to Rochelle Park in January. The renovated space is completely digital and paperless, handicap-friendly and fully certified by the Americans with Disabilities Act. The seven-person staff focuses on all areas of dentistry, including orthodontics, serving as a one-stop shop for patients dental needs. In addition to his practice, Schepis, who graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School Of Dental Medicine, is the team dentist for four professional sports franchises. These include the New York Giants, Brooklyn Nets, New Jersey Devils and the NY/NJ Red Bulls. Schepis recalled his first experience on the sidelines at a Giants game in 2007. calling my name to come examine a player who had just been injured, he explained. Next thing I know, my cell phone starts ringing like crazy because I was on TV. The cameras were filming me as I was assessing the patient on the sidelines. We did an X-ray immediately and determined the players jaw had been fractured. I had to tell Coach Coughlin the player couldnt go back in and play, and that same night we repaired the jaw. Schepis is gearing up for a big grand re-opening event at S Dental this spring, which will include a Giants player signing autographs and other fun, family surprises. He also continues to look toward the future and find new ways to improve and expand the practice. Because we do so much cosmetic dentistry work, we

noahs ark accepts Chopstix Food Challenge - again

The home of corned beef and pastrami will be challenging the spot for General Tsos at the annual pre-Passover food challenge pitting Teaneck eatery Noahs Ark against Chopstix. The event collects donations for Teanecks Helping Hands Food Pantry. Each year, customers of Noahs Ark and Chopstix vie for the biggest donations to help their neighbors, while proving their loyalty to their favorite kosher food source, said Noam Sokolow, owner of Noahs Ark Deli & Shellys Dairy Restaurant. Last years challenge realized more than 500 bags of cereal, pancake mix, flour, tuna, ketchup, diapers and toiletries for the food pantry just as supplies were low at the pantry, 195 West Englewood Ave., which serves hundreds of families in need. It was a win/win situation for everyone: the Jewish community cleaned their pantries and the food pantry benefited, said Elie Y. Katz, owner of Chopstix and a township councilman. This years contest runs from March 1 through March 22. Donations of unopened, non-refrigerated food and toiletries will be accepted at the following locations: Chopstix, 172 West Englewood Ave.; Noahs Ark, 493 Cedar Lane; and Shellys Dairy Restaurant, 482 Cedar Lane, all in Teaneck. Whichever restaurant garners the most donations wins this years bragging rights.

sack High School. Top winners will advance to the semi-finals and possibly the championship round on Saturday. Foca made fairly quick work of his opponent, Zach Cavallaro of Paramus Catholic, with an early score of 4-2 in the 120-pound bout. The biggest
Brown never allowed Reiter to gain any momentum, pinning him to the mat with a firm grasp of Reiters leg and arm. As for 160-pound Rodriguez, he got off to a bit of a slow start against Freddy Takla of Bogota/Weehawken, who quickly racked up some points.
Rodriguez dragged his way out of the wrestling circle to avoid further points for Takla, and then turned it on full steam. In an incredible effort, Rodriguez won the match 16-5. Faison took care of Lodi High Schools Victor Gomez with a first period pin just 34
seconds into the match. The yeoman-like effort of the evening belonged to Goran Krasic in the 195-pound bout against Paramus Brandon Sebahie. Neither wrestler could gain an upper hand on the other, as the two spent a better part of the first two periods
locked up. With the final score tied 1-1, the battle went into overtime, then double overtime with Krasic as the winner, 4-1. Goran is in good shape for it. He works real hard in the room, he deserves a win like that, Stallone said.

Cooking Up History
1943 publication, The Victory Vitamin Cook Book for Wartime Meals by Florence LaGanke, was a recipe book focused on using point-rationing coupons. It discussed how to prepare a lunch box and an after-the-night-shift meal. It offered suggestions for meat substitutes, extenders and desserts that would save sugar. The recipes found in cookbooks during hard financial times would leave some today turning up their noses. Some examples: Fried Corn Flakes, Shrimp Wiggle, Raised Brown Bread, Ambrosia, Suet Pudding, Ginger Jibb Candy, Tomato Jam, Pineapple and Orange Marmalades and foods made from wheat germ and oats. Back in the day, measurements were not as we know them today. A good example from nearly 75 years ago was knowing that 10 eggs equaled one pound and that butter the size of an egg equaled two ounces. Wonder if thats the same today? As we hit the late 1950s and 60s, cookbooks were published based on how we were preparing our foods such by using the barbecue grill, Reynolds wrap, an electric oven, an Osterizer blender, beef jerky machine, a skillet or Teflon pan or food hydrator. When we got to the 1980s, we began using microwaves to heat up the latest meals. Today weve added food processors, bullet blenders and much more. Even today, there are cookbooks based on the single main ingredient. Mayonnaise and Campbells soups easily top the list. Eating with family and good friends may conjure up memories of a specific dish. Thumbing through old cookbooks may bring them back. What a sweet discovery to uncover that recipe that you long forgot. Happy hunting! Barbara J. Gooding is a creative and historical writer who resides in Hackensack. She may be contacted via The County Seat newspaper info@cntyseat.com or bjgooding@gmail.com.

By BaRBaRa J. gooDIng I have always liked cookbooks. I like to cook, maybe not so much to bake. As I cook, combining ingredients and seeing how they evolve into a delectable bite to eat is a pleasure. Growing up, my grandma always had her favorite cookbooks. I now have them and enjoy finding her notes to add this or alter that next to a recipe. Shed save clippings from magazines and stuffed them into those cookbooks, noting great tomato aspic or a special something that would round out a family meal. I see old cookbooks as history books which can be classified as vintage collectibles. The authors may have come from groups within churches, schools, organizations, auxiliaries, PTAs, womens clubs, fire or police departments that are still around or perhaps long gone. Its amazing from where you may pick up an old cookbook. It could be it at a flea market or garage sale. That book may have been written by that sellers relative or from someone who lived in perhaps Cape Cod, South Carolina, Pennsylvania or Hawaii. When it was written is its stamp in time. What was available due to climate
or war time events would surely dictate the necessary ingredients. The Second Reformed Church, which was erected in 1908, issued The Dutch Cook Book- Favorite Recipes contributed by the ladies of Hackensack. It was compiled at the church bazaar and published on March 30, 1909. The recipes surely reflect the era. It is not what people eat, but what they digest that makes them strong, says the book. It is not what they read, but what they remember that makes them learned. Pre-World War II, Kate Smith, who was well known back then as the singer of Irving Berlins God Bless America and had her own radio hour on CBS each Thursday night, published Kate Smiths Favorite Recipes-1939. She promoted Calumets Double Action Baking Powder and Swans Down Cake Flour. Shed answered questions such as why cakes didnt rise and offered recipes such as a caramel marshmallow cake, quick breads, sponge cake, upside down cake, tea, spice cakes and told the secrets to better baking. Once World War II was upon us, everyone dealt with the rationing of sugar, milk, meats and more. One

Parisian academy owner applauded
By noelle FRIeSon Harry Comp doesnt see himself a philanthropist; he says he simply does what he feels is right. What feels right for the owner of Parisian Beauty Academy in Hackensack is donating his time, money and his expertise to dozens of nonprofit organizations each year and inspiring his students to do the same. Comp was recently honored by the Community Resource Council (CRC) with the distinguished Dr. Harry Brandeis Memorial Community Service Award at Seasons in Washington Township. Comp along with Bergen County Surrogate Michael Dressler and Peter Mercer, president of Ramapo College, were the evenings honorees. We nominated Harry Comp for the Harry Brandeis Award because his giving goes beyond his business and beyond his financial donations, said Diana DiGirolamo, director, CRC. He finds time in his busy life as a father and businessman to make a one-on-one difference in peoples lives. That is the embodiment of the Harry Brandeis Award. Parisian Beauty Academy was founded by Comps parents, Harry and Henrietta, in 1949. When Comp and his sister, Penny Muccia, took over operations more than 20 years ago, they partnered with the Paul Mitchell Schools to create a plethora of opportunities for their students. What started as a small hair salon and beauty school has since grown into a state-ofthe-art beauty clinic and training facility comprising nearly a whole square block in downtown Hackensack. Students, who Comp describes as the future professionals, train on the latest techniques in hair styling and hair care, skin care, makeup application and airbrushing and massage. There are also specialty courses such as special effects makeup. Parisian students offer these services to the general public.

emblem Honors Heroes
By noelle FRIeSon World War II veteran Jerome Some, owner of Somes Uniforms in Hackensack, knows the kind of courage and selflessness required of first responders. When he witnessed these local men and women in action responding to Hurricane Sandy last October, he was inspired to create a badge to recognize their bravery. Some, who has been designing citation bars, uniform insignia and badges for national and hometown heroes at his Main Street shop since opening the doors in 1956, put a lot of thought into this piece of work. The silver, red and black merit pin is inscribed with Hurricane Sandy 2012 Response Team and includes a hurricane symbol and two storm-warning maritime flags. Somes Uniforms has received orders from agencies such as the Randolph Fire Department and the Brigantine Policemens Benevolent Association and forces as far as Kentucky, Massachusetts and Florida. To thank the local police officers, firefighters and emergency medical workers, Somes donated more than 400 pins to the Bergen County Executives Office. Police Chief Dan Shaffery of the Little Silver Police Department in Monmouth County has distributed the bars to 25 officers and support staff members as well as Little Silver Mayor Robert Neff Jr. His house was gonetotally lost, said Shaffery. But Mayor Neff worked through the Code Red all week to help our residents without regard to his own misfortune. The Hurricane Sandy citation bar is the first of its kind. If youre fortunate enough to be in a community with someone whose noble actions warrant being recognized show your gratitude by giving them a Response Team badge, said Some. If youre fortunate enough to encounter someone who was already honored with the Response Team badge, thank him or her by openly recognizing the tireless work that must have been done to earn it.

Teaneck Three-peat Upsets Hackensack Comets

Its huge for our program, said Teaneck Coach Jerome Smart. I am proud of our kids, especially our seniors. Even though these two teams split their season series, Teaneck made the necessary adjustments for this rubber match and dominated in virtually every aspect of the game. From the onset, the Comets struggled to match up against the Highwaymens size inside the paint, as Luis Hernandez, Myles McLeod and Shakir Lindsey proved too much to handle. We were embarrassed by the last defensive effort we had against Hackensack, and we werent going to let it happen again, Smart added. Teanecks Hernandez had a monster game, leading both teams with 28 points. He made his mark as game MVP early, driving through three Hackensack defenders for a bucket to give Teaneck an 8-3 lead, and, later in the opening quarter, nailed a threepointer to make it 11-5. However, the momentum started to change once Teaneck got into foul trouble with a couple offensive charges. Hackensacks Jamik Moore made the Highwaymen pay for their errors. He converted one of two free throws to cut the deficit to six. On the next Comet possession, Moore powered his way under the hoop for a layup, with an assist from Anthony Uribe to make it 16-12; before hitting a jumper to cut the lead to two, 16-14. However, this was as close as Hackensack would ever get the rest of the evening. The Comets offense went into a collective funk in the second quarter, with the only points coming on a pair of free throws from Chris Myers. Hernandez dominated the quarter on the glass for Teaneck, and Hackensacks inability to do anything with the basketball on the offensive end told the tale of Teanecks 16-2 run. Hernandez opened the quarter with a three-pointer to build the lead back up to five. Later he connected on three of Teanecks four jump shots to end the quar-
After watching their championship basketball title hopes virtually die in a second quarter where they were outscored 16-2, the Hackensack High School Comets valiant second half effort was not enough to dethrone their archrivals, the Teaneck Highwaymen, at the 57th Oscar F. Thompson Memorial Bergen County Jamboree finals on Feb. 21. Teaneck High Schools 70-55 victory over Hackensack at a packed Bill Bradley Center on the Ramapo College campus in Mahwah was the schools third consecutive Bergen County title, setting a county record of 11 in all.
Tip-off of the Bergen County Jamboree at Ramapo College pits Myles Mcleod of Teaneck against Rashard Figures of Hackensack. ter as Teaneck built a 34-18 halftime lead. Hernandez already had 18 points at the break. The competitive nature of this team caused us to go into a hole, said Hackensack Coach Aaron Taylor. We have a number of guys who want to take hold of the game. You cant have individual stuff, not in a selfish way. Teaneck gets you into that type of game and they get rebounds and steals. Hackensack finally turned things around in the third quarter. They flustered Teanecks fast break, as Rashard Figures and Uribe blocked shots at the rim, and the physical presence of Moore started to wear out the athletic Highwaymen. Soon, the points started to flow for the Comets. The Comets cut the deficit to 10 points after Kenyon Lewis hit a jumper and was fouled in the process midway through the third quarter. However, no matter how close Hackensack came, Teaneck had an answer. Lindseys steal resulted in two more points for the Highwaymen, and Eddie Pea connected on a layup of his own to expand the lead to 43-29. Hackensack went on a 10-4 run, highlighted by jumpers from Figures and a slam dunk and foul shot by Lewis to cut the deficit back to nine. Finally, Figures was fouled and connected on both free throws to get Hackensack to within seven, 47-40, with six minutes remaining. What seemed like a plausible Hackensack comeback was quickly erased by Teanecks tenacious defense. Lindsey snuck around Myers and stole the dribble from his hands gliding to the hoop and drawing the foul. He connected on both free throws. Then, it was Peas turn to play the thief. He too stripped the ball from a Hackensack possession, setting up Lindsey down the court for the layup, rebuilding the lead back to 51-40. Finally, Hernandez all but put Bergen County title in Teanecks back pocket when he hit a fade-away jumper, plus a foul shot to give Teaneck at 54-40 advantage. It feels amazing. There are not a lot of teams who can say they won three in a row, Hernandez said. I always want to go out with a bang and play my hardest. Both teams moved on to the NJISAA tournament. Hackensack won the first round and was set to play Kennedy High School of Paterson on March 1.

Why Retire in Maywood?

Inside Jersey magazine recently named Maywood as one of the best places to retire in New Jersey. But what makes Maywood, nicknamed Mayberry by some longtime residents, so appealing? Its all about the hometown feel. There is something comforting about a small town Main Street. The mom and pop restaurants and shops. The hale and hearty greetings. And a double scoop of mint chocolate chip ice cream on a warm Saturday evening, stated the article. During a stroll along West Pleasant Avenue one can find a fish market, a meat market and a gourmet food market. Foodies can pick up fresh bread at Maywood Market, sandwich at Oak Ale House, an ice cream at Uncle Louie Gs or rotisserie chicken at Uncle Paulies. Theres the Maywood Pharmacy and Victors Maywood Inn, several nail and hair salons such as A Cut Above and a plethora of pizzerias such as Marios. Its a main street thats on a side street, said Mayor Gregg Padovano. Its a very pedestrian-friendly street and its very quaint. And those little stores and that quaintness, I think, is what really gives Maywood a small-town feel, even though were in one of the most congested counties in the country. Maywood, population 9,555, is nestled snugly between Paramus and Hackensack and easily accessible to Routes 80, 4 and 17. One can easily walk anywhere in the 1.29-square mile town. NJ Transit offers routes into Manhattan as well as Hackensack and other neighboring towns. Transit time into Manhattan: 34 minutes. For its residents who are 65 and older, a group which accounts for nearly 16 percent of its population, Maywoods amenities are endless. Hackensack University Medical Center is two miles away, and a handful of other hospitals are within five miles. There is housing for the elderly and a free shuttle to doctors appointments and the supermarket. The Maywood Recreation Department offers water aerobics at the community pool and movies at the local library plus senior line dancing, chair yoga, crochet and more.

Sacred Heart eagles Soar
Hackensacks Chelsea Carter battles for the ball. By MICHael CoHen A disappointing season for a very young Hackensack High School girls varsity basketball team came to a conclusion on Feb. 19 as the state tournament-bound Paramus Catholic Lady Knights defeated the Comets 61-29 in Paramus. The Lady Knights, who honored their two outgoing seniors before the game, totally dominated the first half of play, jumping out to a 22-2 lead and never looked back. Tianna Smith led Paramus Catholic with seven points in the first quarter, while Corrine Poitevien added four points. Reona Pettway and Allie Wickersheim provided the only points for Hackensack in the first quarter. Paramus experience on the court proved to be too much for Hackensack to handle in the second quarter with the Lady Knights dominating the glass. Whenever a missed shot went up, someone in a Paramus Catholic jersey was there for the defensive rebound. On the offensive end, the Lady Knights punished Hackensack with their size, rebounding their own misses and putting them back in for points. The Lady Knights opened up the quarter with a 10-0 run, thanks to a pair of slam dunks by Nyree Grant. Dejah Taylor, Sabrina Fincher and Poitevien who all pitched into Paramus 40-6 halftime lead with buckets of their own. However, the gritty Comets tried to make a comeback. They played with a little more zest and were much more aggressive on the boards than they had been. Jordyn Hellpap became a handful for the Lady Knights to defend. She knocked down a three-pointer, two jumpers, a layup and a pair of free-throw shots to bring Hackensack to within 50-24. However, it was not enough as Paramus Kayla Martinez knocked down a three-pointer, and Rayna Ortiz hit two layups to rebuild the Paramus lead back to more than 30 points. Hackensack finishes the season 0-19, while Paramus Catholic (18-8) will play in the North Parochial Non-Public Group A playoffs.

Retired Superior Court Judge James Murphy

By gaIl VaCHon James Murphy, a retired state Superior Court judge and Hackensack resident, passed away in Florida on Feb. 10 with his family by his side. He was 78. Murphy was born on Sept. 27, 1934 to Timothy Murphy, a native of Kerry, Ireland, and Mary Hawe Murphy, of Tipperary, Ireland. Murphys parents met in the United States, married at St. Patricks Cathedral in Manhattan and lived in New York City before moving to Englewood when their son was born. Murphy attended St. Cecelias elementary and high school in Englewood before finishing his senior year at the Carmelite Seminary in Canada. He then attended Carmelite College in Massachusetts and Seton Hall University and before moving on to Brooklyn Law School. Murphy clerked for the firm of Lebson and Prigoff in Englewood and was an associate for Frank Luciana until 1961. He opened his own practice at 1 Depot Square in Englewood where he practiced law until being admitted to the bench in 1973. Murphy became a magistrate in Edgewater at the age of 28, making him the youngest sitting municipal judge in New Jersey. He also served as municipal judge in Fort Lee. Murphy sat on the workers compensation bench and supervised the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Division at the Bergen County Court House before settling into his role in the Superior Court, Civil Division in 1984. Jim was a serious jurist, said William Meehan, a fellow retired Superior Court judge and Murphys friend of 60 years. He loved his position as a judge. He saw his duty, applied his tremendous ability to do what was right. He wanted to do the fair and right thing at all times. According to Meehan,

James T. Murphy Murphys lunch time was spent at Johns Coffee Shop near the Bergen County Court House where the friends would join coworkers Dutch Schiato and Mike Sween and others at the Judges Table. The three things most important to his life were family, god and country, Meehan said in his eulogy of his former classmate at St. Cecilias. Jim had a love of country. He served in the U.S. Army. His service as a judge in the municipal court, Compensation Court and the Superior Court was a way to show his love of country. Murphy retired in 2000 and became of counsel to Meli, Guerin, Wall and Frankland. It was then that he could dedicate time to his other love, the game of golf. Murphy played yearround and was a member of Upper Montclair Country Club for more than 30 years. He traveled to some of the finest golf courses in the world including those in Ireland, California, Bermuda and the islands. Following his retirement, he began spending winters at PGA in Florida and had become very proud of his handicap. Jim has two other loves besides his wonderful family; they are golf and the law. In later years, I believe golf over took his love of the law, said Meehan. He was always a student of the law and enjoyed its nuances and complexities. However, golf with its frustrations took more of his time in later years. Murphys idea of the perfect Saturday night involved dinner with friends any of his three favorite restaurants: Solaris in Hackensack, River Palm or Nannis in Rochelle Park. If Murphy had any regrets in life it was never traveling to Australia where many of his relatives live. He did visit relatives in Ireland on occasion, and of them traveled to New Jersey to attend his funeral. So many of us will miss his help, said Meehan. In life he was blessed with many friends and colleagues. It was a life to be proud of. Murphy was survived by his wife, Mary, his twin daughters, Meaghan Murphy of Hackensack, and Kathleen Thiel of Collegeville, Pa., and his grandson, Teddy.

Padre Pio academy Closing Its Doors

sell the school building, which is owned by St. Francis parish. He explained that a careful analysis of the schools current situation drove the Archdioceses decision to shutter the school. This was after the Archdiocese handed Padre Pio Academy $800,000 in support over the last three years. The explanation may sound reasonable but it doesnt ease the pain for the students. My son is going into eighth grade next year and I feel terrible for him, said Joseph Barreto, a Padre Pio parent. This will be his third school in four years. Barreto said a group of parents tried to devise a plan to save the school once they learned that the school was in danger of closing but were told that their efforts were too late. It is expected that a number of local elementary schools will host informational sessions to discuss their programs with the parents of current Padre Pio students who are uncertain where they will send their children in September. Goodness points out that it costs an average of $6,000 to educate a child in a Catholic school versus $18,000 to educate a child in a public school. However, tuition at Padre Pio was significantly below average, $4,050 for parish members and $4,650 for non-members. Nonetheless, there has been a steady movement away from parish-based schools in recent years. The Archdiocese is currently in the process of charting a new course for Catholic schools as part of the Lighting the Way initiative to analyze new models for school organization and governance. Margaret Dames was recently named the Archdioceses superintendent of Catholic education. There are currently 74 Catholic elementary schools in the Archdiocese of Newark. Goodness said there are no plans to shutter any other Catholic schools in Bergen.

Padre Pio academy in Hackensack. By Joy BelgIoVIne Padre Pio Academy, the last remaining Catholic elementary school in Hackensack, will close its doors forever at the end of the school year in June. Padre Pio opened in 2009 for grades kindergarten through 8. It was the result of the merger of St. Francis of Assisi and Holy Trinity schools in Hackensack and is currently located at the former St. Francis School building. However, a steady decline in enrollment and increased operating costs plagued Padre Pio right from the start. Jim Goodness, spokesman for the Archdiocese of Newark, explained that when the schools merged in 2009, 300 students were enrolled. By September 2012, less than half, only 119 students were enrolled, and only 89 students had enrolled for September 2013. Every child that leaves drives the cost of tuition up, Goodness said, adding that there are currently no plans to

Molly the dog with Hackensack Volunteer ambulance Corps lt. Stephanie Bisulco, Vice President Dave Pegg, Michele austin, Treasurer Teresa Pegg and Rory Sutherland, emergency medical technician. Michele Austin, a Hackensack resident, recently donated a set of pet oxygen masks to the Hackensack Volunteer Ambulance Corps on behalf of Companion Animal Advocates (CAA). The masks come in three sizes for large, medium and small dogs and cats. These specially-sized masks will enable firefighters and emergency medical technicians to deliver oxygen to pets in need, and, in some cases, save their lives. People care as deeply about their pets as they do human members of their family, said Christine Devereaux, vice president, CAA. Thanks to Michele and other residents that have donated, pets in Hackensack have a much better chance of surviving smoke inhalation since they have received these masks. These masks work well because they are small, and are designed to fit over snouts. Even birds and hamsters can be placed inside the masks. Anyone interested in donating a set of oxygen masks to their community should contact Devereaux at 201-706-7666. The $100 tax-deductible donation includes three oxygen masks, three oxygen air tubes, a Fur Life carry bag, a laminated instruction sheet, a kennel lead and more. Visit www. CompanionAnimalAdvocates.org for more information.

The Bergen Catholic High School Mock Trial team recently completed a successful season, despite being eliminated in the final round of the Bergen County playoffs. The Mock Trial Competition involves all 21 county bar associations in the State of New Jersey and is overseen by the New Jersey State Bar Foundation, which each year provides a case for teams to develop and argue. The competition pits student teams from high schools around the state against each other in a courtroom setting. Students from each school play the various roles of plaintiffs, defendants, attorneys, witnesses and jurors involved in a court case. This years sample case involved a civil lawsuit due to death of a championship show dog. Under the guidance of team moderator Peter Coleman of New City, N.Y., the Bergen Catholic team reached the playoffs of the Bergen County section of the competition by defeating Northern Valley Regional High School at Demarest along with Elmwood Park and Leonia. In the quarter-final round of the Bergen County playoffs, B.C. beat Immaculate Heart Academy and then defeated two-time defending champion Mahwah in the semi-final round. The team eventually lost in the finals to Torah Academy. The County Seat - March 2013 - Page 25
