You FoundMe!

FORT LEE – The Acting Commissionerof the state Department of Education haspartially overturned the ruling of a state Of-fice of Administrative Law judge that theprincipal of the high school, here, should bepaid his 2009-2010 raise; however, sheagreed with the judge that Jay Bermanshould retain his job.

The tenure charges were filed by theschool board in light of a grade-changingscandal at the high school that rocked thedistrict in 2009.

Rochelle R. Hendricks wrote that shewas “in accord with the [judge’s] finding thatthere was no evidence that [Mr. Berman] wasaware of the grade changing that had beenoccurring in the guidance department or inany way condoned such conduct….Therewas a Director of the Guidance Departmentwho was responsible for the day-to-day op-erations of the department; performed all of

the staff evaluations; and was the direct su-pervisor of the guidance counselor who wasresponsible for doctoring the student tran-scripts and report cards….[T]he notion that[Mr. Berman] should have known what wastranspiring within the guidance office doesnot rise to gross negligence or unbecomingconduct so as to justify the suspension of[Mr. Berman] or the revocation of histenure…”

She continued, “With respect to the with-holding of [Mr. Berman’s] increment, theCommissioner finds that the Board’s deci-sion to withhold the increment was reason-able based upon the Board’s overalldisapproval of [Mr. Berman’s] level of over-sight as a high school principal, and the un-acceptable conduct that was occurring in theguidance department.”

Robert Schwartz, Mr. Berman’s attorney,did not immediately respond to a request for

comment.Charles Luppino, president of the Board

of Education, had no comment because hedid not have the details. He expected to re-ceive them at a board meeting at press time.

“The [judge] erroneously determined thatthe Board’s failure to prove the tenurecharges likewise meant that its decision towithhold [Mr. Berman’s] increment was ar-bitrary and capricious,” she said.

Ms. Hendricks said, “Although it is not

expected that [Mr. Berman] review each andevery transcript that is sent to the college,there is a level of accountability that must at-tach to the fact that it was [Mr. Berman’s]signature stamp that was used to certify thetranscripts….It was reasonable for the Boardto assess a degree of accountability to [Mr.Berman] in the form of an increment with-holding, which is not a matter of right butrather ‘a reward for meritorious service tothe school district.’”

When the North Jersey PlanningAuthor-ity (NJPA) meets next month they will beconsidering appointing a replacement forExecutive Committee Chairman Dennis Mc-Nerney.

Mr. McNerney will not be completing histerm that runs through 2011 because he losthis re-election bid as Bergen County Execu-tive in November. The speculation is that the

authority will select board member Dan Sul-livan, who is a Union County Freeholder.

Both Mr. McNerney andMr. Sullivan areDemocrats and while it has been the customthat the chairman’s position rotate betweenthe two major parties, the reasoning is thatMr. McNerney’s unexpired term belongs tothe Democrats.

Since Mr. McNerney will be leaving the

NJPA entirely, it will be up to the newCounty Executive KathleenA. Donovan andthe Board of Freeholders to select a newBergen County representative on the NJPA.

It will likely be a Republican since Ms.Donovan is a Republican and the Republi-cans won control of the Board of Freeholdersin last month’s election.

It isn’t easy being a Republican governor withaDemocratic administration inWashington–es-peciallywhen theState ofNewJersey is oneDe-mocrats used to count on being true blue, all theway through – and especiallywhen the governoris an outspoken aggressive guy who has beenaround thecountry stumping forGOPcandidatesandwhohas beenmentioned in polls as a seriouscontender for the presidency.So it should come as no surprise that the feds

want their$271millionback,which they investedin theARC(Access to theRegion’sCore) rail tun-nelunder theHudsonRiver fromNorthBergen toManhattan. This is the project that GovernorChristie cancelled.

Not only do theywant their money back, buttheywant it back in30days,onChristmasEvenoless. Talk about the Grinch that stole Christmas.This is it folks. The federal government that in-vestedameager$271million inwhatwas thena-tion’s largest publicwork project, pegged at $8.7

billion and expected to climb to $10 billion ormorebefore theworkwascompleted. This is thesame federal government that spent $787 billionto stimulate our economy.The problem began with the misguided plan-

ningof theCorzineAdministration thatwas readyto have the nearly broke State of New Jersey as-sume an open-ended obligation of billions andbillions of dollars in cost overruns. It tookcourage to stop thismadness, and that’s justwhatGovernor Christie did.

And the reward fromWashington is a dunningletter for $271 million with the interest clockready to start toting up interest payments on this“debt”within30days.Thedemand is actuallyas-sessedagainst cash-strappedNJTransit. The fedsalsopileonwith threats tonotifyall credit bureausandbond ratingagencies, to in effect. damage thestate’s credit rating.And finally, the feds are ready to loose Eric

Holder’s Justice Department on the state as billcollector, ready to haul state officials to court.This is the Justice Department of the Obama

Administration, which looked the other waywhen the newBlackMuslims intimidated whitevoters in Pennsylvania, the same Justice Depart-ment that sued theState ofArizonaover its toughimmigration lawwhen the state tried to force thefederal government to bring order to themurder-ous U.S.-Mexican border, and the same JusticeDepartment that cannot make up its mind aboutwhere to prosecute admitted Sept. 11 terroristKhalid SheikhMohammed.Meanwhile, no one in the Justice Department

or anyotherbranchof theObamaAdministrationis taking any notice of the money-saving smartproposal of NewYorkMayor Bloomberg to ex-tend the No. 7 subway from the West Side ofManhattan, under the Hudson River and west-ward toSecaucusathalf thepriceof theARCtun-

nel.Again, wemust ask, where are Senators Laut-

enberg and Menendez? Why are they silent onthis worthy proposal?The Port Authority is interested. GovernorChristie is interestedandwouldprobablybe readyto takeany federalmoneyonhand fromtheARCproject and spend it in this new direction. Whycan’t we move forward? Why do we have noleadership on this obvious step?Instead of demanding repayment from New

Jersey, everyone involvedand thosenot involvedshould be demanding any and all funding shouldbedirected intoplanning andbuilding this exten-sion of the NewYork subway system into NewJersey.Even the limited construction forARC,which

includedgradingunderTonnelleAvenue (Routes1 and 9) inNorthBergenmight be utilized in theSecaucus subway plan.We need cooperative planning by NJ Transit,NewYorkCity, thePortAuthority and the federalgovernment to improve the now over-crowdedtransportationbetweenour stateandNewYork. Itis in the interest of both states and the nation thatthis be done.Can’tweall get alongandwork together? This

should not be so difficult.

PARSIPPANY–This afternoon, Gov. ChrisChristie headed to the center of the storm and inhis unique style, he took on all comers.

The confrontation-comfortable Sicilian-Irishgovernor is trendinghigher thanTomBrady’shairright now, and he had several interchanges todaythat could turn the upward curve vertical.

His school superintendent pay cap is a hotissue in town–a fewspeakers spokepassionatelyabout the issue – but it the last man in a long lineof questioners that riled the governor up to thepoint that he called theman on stage to give himawhat-for overmunicipal aid.

He started out the town hall meeting by reit-

erating again his charge to the legislature to passhismunicipal toolkit.

“We started these reform town hall meetingsback on Labor Day,” Chrsitie said, motioning tothe “18 Days Left” poster to his right. “When Istarted, therewere three digits to that number.”

“It’s hard,” he said of his crusadeonpropertytaxes. “And thespecial interestswill comeoutandfight…That’s the fight I’mengaged in rightnow.”

Democratic leaders in the legislature told thepress last week that they have found a compro-mise on one of hismain toolkit items, arbitrationreform.

But Christie is still skeptical. “I’m worriedthat they’re not showing (a bill) tome, (because I

might) show my disapproval,” he said to laugh-ter.

Christie is pressing on arbitration, civil serv-ice, and affordable housing reforms before theendof theyearbecausemayorsand towncouncilswill be asked toabideby thenew2percent cap inplace for 2011.

Pension reform, another tool in the kit, maywait until next year – after the 18 days left in thisyear’s legislative calendar expires – according toindications fromChristie and theDemocrats.

He told the crowd the story of when he pro-posed the pension changes: “I went to the fire-fighters’ convention (in Wildwood) the week Iproposed this.”

“When I entered the room,” he said, “Therewas significant booing.”

He told them, straight shooter to straightshooters, “Why are you booing the first guywhocame in here and told you the truth?”

The pension system is doomed, he said, andit needs immediate fixes.

Christie needs the legislature to make thosechanges, unlike the changes hemade to superin-tendent pay.

Christie is instituting a salary cap effectivenextFebruary,but inParsippany, the schoolboardis suing the state to be able to extend the not-yet-

Several sources in Bergen confirmed Fri-day night, Dec. 3, that the Bergen CountyDemocratic Organization (BCDO) head-quarters in Hackensack has closed.

Executive Director Chris Lee said the or-ganization moved down the hall to a smalleroffice while they’re searching for new digs,

but sources said the organization is behindon the rent from the era of former ChairmanJoe Ferriero.

Current chairmanMichael Kasparian hadbeen paying the rent and trying to catch upon the inherited debts but ultimately madethe decision to vacate the Hackensack build-

ing, according to sources.Lee said the executive committee will

decide where the future headquarters will beat their next meeting, and had been consider-ing finding new space since last year.

Sources say Ferriero had made anarrangement with the building owner to

eventually catch up on the rent but when hestepped down in 2008, the owner called therent into Kasparian.

expired contract of Superintendent Lee Seitz.He told thecitizens that the schoolboardwas

“spend(ing) your money to sue me, to spendmore of yourmoney.”

The board already approved the contract forSeitz, but Christie is holding it hostage until thecap is in place.

When PolitickerNJ asked Christie earlier inthe day what legal basis he had for doing so, heonly said“stay tuned” tohear the lawdepartmentmake that argument in court.

Also asked at the morning presser why ashead of the state does he feel the need to inter-venewith localofficialsby implementinghis su-perintendent cap, Christie said out-of-controlproperty taxes have forced the governor into a“de facto” role as the steward of local tax dol-lars.

Someof the locals at the townhall todaydis-agreed.

A Chatham Board of Education membersaid thedistrict spends less than$12,000per stu-dent and gets wonderful results.

“You’ve taken away all of our state aid,” thewoman said, and yet the state is now very inter-ested in how the school budget is spent. “Whycan’twedecide that at the local levelwhen it’s allourmoney?”

She said the superintendent gets a marketrate contract, but Christie said not so.

“It’s an inflated, artificial market that they(the superintendents) created themselvesamongst themselves,” he told her, later laughingoff the fear-inducingnotion that superintendentswill run to surrounding states for higher pay.

“I’ll help them pack,” he said for theumpteenth time recently.

AParsippany teacher and local union repre-sentative tried to takeChristie to task over state-mentshe’smadeabout it beingnearly impossibleto fire bad teachers.

“There are bad politicians that I’d like to seelet go,” she said.

He told her an election is always on tap forthe pols, “except you don’t have to go throughfive years of legal fights and (thousands of dol-lars) in legal fees.”

Thesystemfor teacher tenure,hesaid, is “tooexpensive, it’s too onerous, and it fails.”

“Whatyou’redoing isputtingyourmembersahead of the children’s interests,” he chargedback, recounting his request for teacher payfreezes this year–“Not toput themoneyback inthe general fund…to avoid teacher layoffs.”

“Theunion’s responsewas,Never,” he said.“Instead the union said we will keep our raises,we will keep our free health benefits, fire ourteachers…They wouldn’t even permit theirmembers to vote.”

CHRISTMAS ON MAIN STREET,1968 (Part 1)

Dressed for winter, I elbowed my waythrough the hard outer crust of the crowd ofkids determined to make my way to the frontof the pack. I dug my padded elbows deepinto corduroyed knee caps and thighs causingbodies to grind and scrape against each otherallowingme to pass through the tremors of alltheir constrained energy. Using my olderbrother as body armor by pushing him for-ward, and then pushing him aside, I finallymade my way to the front.And there I stood,finally, before the altar of Santa’s Workshopas it appeared in the windows of The AtlasFive and Ten Store on lower Main Street inFort Lee 1968.The sidewalk-to-ceiling windows

sparkled so brightly that at first all I could seewas my own reflection staring back at me asthe full moon began its slow ascent in theearly evening sky behind me. Nestledbetween all of the toys were Santas whomoved, Mrs. Clauses who nodded, andmechanical carolers holding their electric can-dlesticks in gloved hands while their singingmouths formed a perfectly round “O.” Andthen there were the toys. The toys. Nothingbeat Sears’ Christmas Wish Book except theChristmas windows of The Atlas Five andTen.Here, in all their three-dimensional glory,the toysdancedbeforemeon the stageof theirdisplay shelves. Somepeereddown fromatopshelves, some dangled and twirled in mid-air,some sat upon the floor beckoning to all of usfrom behind the angular glass panes.I pressed my nose as hard as I possibly

could into cold glass in an effort to visuallyinhale all of the toys at once. I succeeded onlyin crossing my eyes to the point that I started

to get dizzy as all of the toys became a blurthat burst into kaleidoscopic fragments of col-ors. My breath released clouds of fog thatsteamed the window with condensation. Iused the wool of my red mittens thatGrandma had knitted the winter before toclear a path for my eyes to see.This moment didn’t just arrive. We had

just arrived in thismoment.You see, anticipa-tion for the big reveal began right afterThanksgivingwhen all the kids in townbeganto stalk lower Main Street waiting for Mr.Feiler to begin his yearly ritual of covering thestore windows with white sheets so thatSanta’s Workshop could be created in secret.That was always the week that I wanted tomove in with the Paolini’s who lived in anupstairs apartment adjacent to the Five andTen. I had this fantasy that somehow therewas a secret door in the floor of their apart-ment that would lead directly to the Five andTen. I didn’t think that Mr. and Mrs. Paoliniwould have minded having an unschooled,but street-wise, three-year old bunk in withthem for a week considering their daughtersPatty and Barbara were my babysitters, butsomehowIcouldnever talkmyparents into it.Then it happened. While driving down

Main Street to Grandma’s house one Sundayafternoon on the first of December, my heartstopped as our Chevy drove past the Five andTen and I saw for myself the shrouds thathung from all of the windows. I wanted tojump from the moving car and run acrossMain Street to peer behind the curtains to getan early glimpse of Christmas. Instead, I hadto suffer throughSundaydinnerwith about 50relatives where I had to surreptitiously

remove the pignoli nuts and raisins thatGrandma shoved into her meatballs and hidethem inside my socks until I could get achance to get into the bathroom and flushthem down the toilet. Yuck!But here I stood alone in a sea of kids;

aware of nothing but the stale smell of steamrising from ourmingled bodies and the toys.My eyes wandered up, down, and aroundthe window before which I stood. Mattel’sHot Wheels, Colorforms, View Masters,Aurora Monster Models, Barbie and herswank blue vinyl carrying case, Remco’sBaby Glad & Sad, portable record players,and…and…there he was. I found him. Allbrown and shiny staring only at me…Forthe very first time my heart pined…BiffBear. I had to have him.

CHRISTMAS ON MAIN STREET1968, (Part 2)

I stood motionless before the window ofthe Atlas Five and Ten onMain Street in FortLee. Exhausts of steam were puffed out frombetween the space of my chapped, shiveringlips. My heart was pining. Sitting high upon aglass shelf of thedisplaycase satBiffBear.Myeyeballs almost climbedout of their sockets sofar above the reach of my eyes did he sit. Ilookedupuntilmycorneas felt like theywoulddisappear intomybrain and thebottomsofmylids stretched further down my cheeks as myeyes tried to reach his.

I came to know Biff as we all came toknowour toys in 1968—through the power oftelevision. Seeing him before me I felt likeDorothy when she stepped out of her black-and-white Kansas farmhouse and onto theTechnicolor streets of Oz. You see, we had ablack-and-white19”portable television set thatsat on a slightly dented stand with wobblywheels against the onlywallwithoutwindowsin our colonial cape on Fifth Street. But herehewasbeforemeas I stoodon thebrokenside-walk of Main Street — real and colorful. Hisyellow shirt with red and blue stripes, his tanpantless legs (the white circular pull ring thatwouldmakehim talkprotruding fromhis righthip), his milk chocolate rubber face, his smalltriangular black bear nose, his mitten-shapedhands.

Trapped inside the web of the mob I usedmyadrenaline to pushmyway throughbodiesback to my parents who were standing some-where behindme onMain Street. They had tosee Biff. They had to know how much hemeant tome.They had to get him forme now.I couldn’t possibly leave him in the window!What if some other little girl took him home?After all, there was only one Biff Bear! Ipushed my way through the corduroy, poly-ester, and wool of coats, my mittens gettingsnagged on zippers, toggles, and the garters

with the sharp silver clips that the over-moth-ered kids’mothers had clipped to the sleevesof their jackets so they wouldn’t lose theirgloves.

Standing across the street leaning againstthewall ofSchweitzer’s Department Storewasmy father talking to a group of other fatherswho would much rather have been leaningagainst the bar inside a smoky tavern raisingglasses than children, but here they stoodguarding the night while their wives stood onthe layaway lines inside theFive and Ten.

Pulling on the sharp crease of my father’sserge pants I abruptly interrupted, “Daddy,Daddy!BiffBear’s in thewindow! Iwanthim!I want him!”

My father released a laugh thatwasmeantmoreasacontemplativepause thana releaseofmirth before saying, “I don’t like stuffed ani-mals.They’ll suffocateyouwhenyou’re sleep-ing.”All themen agreed and “Pete theGreek”threw in, “Yeah and they is a magnet forgerms.”

“Son of a …” I thought. I ran back acrossthe street to look for my mother who wasburied somewhere inside the Five and Ten. Iwalked throughdozens of pairs ofwell-heelednyloned-stockinged legs looking for the twothat belonged tomymother. Itwasn’t easy be-cause during the holiday season Mr. Feileraddedanextra cash register tohandle theover-flow of shoppers.After searching and search-ing I finally found her in themake-up aisle.

“Mommy!Mommy!” I cried excitedly, “IfoundBiff Bear. I want him!”

“Ask Santa,” she casually replied as herfingersgrazedover the lipsticks, eyeliners, andpowders that sat in ordered rows inside the

wooden display cases.“Santa?” I cried in desperation. “Where’s he?”

“We’re going to the Garden State Plaza tosee him next week,” she responded.

Sunk by the thought that Biffwasn’t com-ing homewithme that night I resignedmyselfto the fact that I had towait to tell theBigManthat I neededBiff Bear.

As I walked outside something wet felluponmynose. I bentmyneckbackand lookedup into the sky and watched as the snowswirled in a chain dance of confusion beneaththe yellow glow of the street light. Assnowflakes fell uponmyface theyweremeltedby thewarmth ofmy tears.

INDUSTRY INSIDER:

TheAmerican PlanningAssociation NewJersey Chapter (APA-NJ) voiced its opposi-tion over a bill approved in November by theNew Jersey Assembly Housing and LocalGovernment Committee. The bill, A3447,yet to be introduced in the state Senate,would abolish the Council on AffordableHousing (COAH) and reform a number ofprocedures concerning provision of afford-able housing.“This bill abandons New Jersey’s com-

mitment to affordable housing for its citi-zens,” said Vito Gallo, APA-NJ HousingCommittee Chair. “While we firmly supportreforming the way affordable housing is pro-vided in this state, this bill definitively takesus down the wrong road.”APA-NJ expressed concern over three

Why I recommend only canned food for cats.Of the top 10 reasons why cats are brought to their veteri-narian, urinary track infection is number one and chronicrenal failure is number three (based on data taken frommedical claims submitted to veterinary pet insurance in2007).

I have been recommending 100 % canned food, low carbohydrate, high proteindiet to my feline owners for the last 8 years — ever since I attended a lecture givenby a known expert on bladder stones (calculi) and urinary track diseases in cats.

The title of the lecture was “The solution is in the can, idiot.”The central point on which the lecturer focused was that because canned food has60-70% moisture content, it is similar, in fluid content, to a natural diet, which thefeline would eat in the wild (prey, such as mouse/bird with 70 % of the body beingblood). Feeding our cats with canned food thus protects their kidneys from sedi-ments, such as crystals, which may accumulate and form stones and, as a result,damage the kidneys.

Cats do not drink much water unless they have a medical problem.They usually get most of their fluid from their food, so by feedingthem dry food we are forcing them to be on a diet that is very differentin water content then their natural diet.

Given that we all know how important it is to drink a lot of water on a dailybasis – as it simply flushes the system and gets rid of toxins — a diet that is 100% canned food may prevent, over a long period of time, damage to your cat’s kid-neys and bladder.

Your cat will live longer and healthier.Dr. Ohad Barnea is a 1992 graduate of Tufts University, School of Veterinary Med-icine and the owner of Tenafly Veterinary Center and Cliffside Animal Hospital.

ings, the bill allows municipalities to con-tinue to avoid significant affordable hous-ing obligations. The bill relies on anapproach of presumptive densities that wasdeemed inadequate in a recent court ruling.In the ruling, the court noted that thegrowth share methodology contained inCOAH’s Third Round rules was invalid be-cause it allowed municipalities to avoidany significant obligation for satisfying the

need for affordable housing by adoptingland use regulations that discouragegrowth. APA-NJ contends that a rationalnexus must exist between density increasesgranted and the public policy objective pur-sued, including jobs-to-housing ratios.

2. The bill contains no independenthousing need calculation. A3447 does notrequire any independent calculation ofpresent or perspective housing need on ei-ther a state or regional basis. The state hasno role in determining individual municipalobligation. APA-NJ strongly believes thata statewide planning process will assist in

determining the most rational approach to-ward the provision of affordable housing.The State Plan should be strengthened toserve as the tool for rational growth and thesensible leveraging of the state’s finite re-sources, as was originally contemplated bythe legislature when the State Planning Actwas adopted as companion legislation tothe Fair Housing Act.

3. The bill contains numerous loop-holes. A3447’s loopholes allow:

a. Municipalities without any low in-come housing to be deemed compliant byallowing for high-end homes to be treatedas affordable housing;

b. Developers to avoid building af-fordable housing by simply paying a devel-opment fee into a municipality’s housingtrust fund;

c. An undermining of the municipal

planning process by allowing for the poten-tial for density increases and affordablehousing to be sited in areas not suited forgrowth, thus increasing the possibility ofsprawling development.

“Re-evaluations of our affordable hous-ing rules cannot lose sight of the core mis-sion to increase the amount of housingavailable to all New Jerseyans,” saidCharles Latini, APA-NJ Chapter President.“Furthermore, APA-NJ feels that any newhousing plan must take into account re-gional planning issues and the regionalmarketplace, environment, health, equity,economic sustainability, and transportationsystem. We have a real opportunity to takea holistic look at where and how we buildaffordable housing in this state, but A3447falls woefully short.”

� By Fairview Deputy Chief Frank DelVecchioThe new buzz word in municipal govern-

ment is “Shared Services”. This means com-bining departments (e.g. police, publicworks) or services of two or more municipal-ities to reduce the overall cost of operatingthose departments. This would seem to be theobvious and easy way to significantly reducethe tax burden on residents. However, the fi-nancial benefit is actually minimal, if any,and there is a definite cost to all citizens withrespect to quality-of-life issues.

The truth about shared services is thattaxpayers will never see their taxes signifi-cantly reduced. The best that can be hopedfor is that property taxes will stabilize withonly minimal annual increases. Stabilizingtaxes in these tough economic times is bothgood and necessary; but merging police de-partments should not be the solution. Peoplemove to the suburbs for a better life. Theyexpect better schools, cleaner streets, lesscrime, more and better community servicesand they want to be more involved in theircommunity.

Sharing services can be accomplished onmany levels, but merging police departmentsis not likely to save a great amount of money

but the negative impact onquality-of-life issueswill be immediate andsignificant. Officerswill police muchlarger areas and will be less familiar with thearea they police and with the residents of thatarea. Police response time will also increase.Citizens will be less likely to know and com-municate with their local police and PoliceChief. Logistically it will be much more dif-ficult for the police department to providecommunity services and programs. InFairview, for example, the police departmentprovides various school programs, YouthAcademy, holiday events such as HalloweenFun Night and there are plans to expand thenumber of programs provided.While servingas the Public Safety Director for BergenCounty I was involved in an attempt tomerge police departments in Westwood andEmerson; the response from the public wasoverwhelming. Residents did not want togive up their local police departments. Dur-ing the past six years I have changed my po-sition, and I recognize the value of your localpolice and the fact that the savings is not sig-nificant enough to warrant merging.

Merging police departments to reduce

costs would be applying a metropolitan so-lution to a suburban problem. The NYPD isan excellent department but due to the sizeof the city and the department they may lackthe personal interaction with the communitythat is enjoyed by the residents of BergenCounty communities. There is a true qual-ity-of-life value in the communities ofBergen County, value that our tax dollars payfor.

There are some police services that canbe shared without losing our municipal iden-

tity or negatively impacting quality-of-life is-sues. For example, municipalities mightcombine detective squads to balance thework load and reduce overtime costs. Ashared communications facility is anotherexample of achieving greater efficiency withreduced costs. We should not rush into merg-ers based on the assumption that all mergerswill yield positive results. We must moveforward aggressively but judiciously imple-menting those initiatives that have been thor-oughly investigated and tested.

Municipal law limits fences to fourfeet.

Mr. Bisceglie said the trees were partof a project the couple has undertakento install an approximately 6,000-square-foot addition consisting of a pooland cabana, and meant to screen themfrom view, the suit said.

When Mr. Bisceglie sought legal re-lief in municipal court regarding thebamboo trees, the trees were “movedfrom the southern side of [his] house tothe west side of the lot.”

The Ozes have submitted architec-tural plans to the Board of Adjustment

indicating that they “plan to plant twoadditional 40-foot-high cedar pines” ad-jacent to Mr. Bisceglie’s property, thelawsuit said. The board specified in itsresolution approving the pool and ca-bana that “the planned improvementwould not adversely affect their neigh-bors’ views, according to the suit.

Attempts to reach Dr. Oz and hislawyer were unsuccessful.

Cliffside Park Borough AttorneyChristos Diktas did not immediately re-turn a call for comment.

The lawsuit seeks to have the Ozesdeclared in violation of Cliffside Parkcode, the borough to “compel” them totake down the pines and bamboo andpayment of Mr. Bisceglie’s attorneys’fees.

Nothing beats a home-made pumpkin pie,and this recipe for Pecan Pumpkin Pie is afabulous choice. Even if you’re crunchedfor time, this dessert can be prepared andbaked in about 70 minutes. Made withsimple ingredients, this pie will be sure to

delight everyone at the table.Ingredients1 cup canned pumpkin 1/3 cup white sugar 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice 3 eggs 2/3 cup corn syrup 1/2 cup white sugar 3 tbsp. melted butter 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups pecan halves 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch single crustpie Preparation1.

LEONIA – John Peasley Miraglia, whowith his wife Mary, operated The PressJournal during the 1980s, died after a sud-den illness on Thursday, Nov. 11. He was80.He operated his own labor-manage-

ment consulting business for 30 years aftera career that began as a field representativefor the National Labor Relations Board.Through that work and an early associ-

ation with then-Congressional candidateJohn F. Kennedy, he was appointed in1960 as Deputy Director of Industrial Re-lations for the then brand-new spaceagency, National Aeronautics and SpaceAdministration (NASA).There he worked with early rocket sci-

entists, including Werner Von Braun. Atthe construction site for the then CapeCanaveral, when work stoppages werethreatened he would go to court and arguethat if job actions were permitted, “Rus-sians would get to the moon first,” a tacticthat never failed. He was instrumental indesegregating the base at Michoud in La.,by personally removing “whites” and “col-ored” sings from rest room doors andwater fountains.In 1968, after two appointments by

President Lyndon B. Johnson and a briefstint at Johnson & Johnson, he formed hisown labor-management consulting busi-ness. In that firm, he represented public

and private entities, including the FordFoundation and socio-economic agenciesof the federal government.Also during that time he actively op-

posed the war in Vietnam, especially as atrustee of the Merchant Marine Academy,and worked for the cause of equal rights,which he contended had been an inviolatestance of the union movement.Mr. Miraglia firmly believed that any

dispute could be fairly settled by focusingon the common interests of the parties, andleaving contentious positions aside.He took pride in his service settling the

90-day, bitter Englewood Hospital nurses’strike following the failure of federal me-diation and of his legacy of labor peace inEnglewood City government and the dis-trict’s school board, which he joined in1974, ending a history of bad labor rela-tions and contentious negotiations.Mr. Miraglia took great pride and

found great happiness as a father andgrandfather. Following the birth of threechildren to him and his wife Mary, of 33years, he scaled back his business to spendmore time at home. He was known tomany children in the community as a greatguy and soft touch. He was the father ofCynthia, Deborah, and Mitchell Miraglia,David Medlock, Christopher John Peasley,Benjamin Joseph Wann and Bianca MariaMiraglia. And a step-father to Alexander

Morgan and Courtney Crawford. He isalso survived by six grandchildren.John Peasley Miraglia was born on

July 15, 1930 on a kitchen table of hisfamily’s apartment at 11th Street and 2ndAvenue on the Lower East Side of Manhat-tan to Joseph John and Irma Peasley Mi-raglia. Mr. Miraglia’s father was afirst-generation Italian, while his mother’sfamily came to America with the early Pil-grims and an ancestor was a famous cler-gyman in Rhode Island.John’s father, Joey was a well-known

union activist who worked organizing tex-tile workers throughout the Northeast, in-cluding New Jersey. In the process hebecame an international vice president ofthe Textile Workers of America.As a child of six or 7, John accompa-

nied his father to strikes where it was hisresponsibility to carry nickels for payphones so the union leader could call whenhis father was arrested. Mr. Miragliabegan working as a business agent whileattending night school at the City Collegeof New York. He graduated with a Bach-elor of Business Administration degreeand received the Moses D. Blitzer award

for labor studies. Thisenabled him to attendthe New School asa scholarship stu-dent at a timewhen only schol-arship studentswere admitted. Hiswork for the union wasto protect strikingworkers fromp9olice whooften weresent to beatthe unionstrikers.A memo-

rial service is planned for Thanksgivingweekend. Friends of family, or of laborare invited to call at the family home inLeonia through Sunday, Nov. 21 and afterthat by calling 201-592-8076. Donationsmay be made to the Botto House AmericanLabor Museum, 83 Norwood Street, Hale-don, NJ 07508 or Flat Rock Brook NatureCenter, 443 Van Nostrand Avenue, Engle-wood, NJ 07631.

� By John MarinFORTLEE – TheFort LeeSoccerLeague

wrapped up its fall travel season on Saturday,Nov. 20 andSunday,Nov. 21with several of theteams participating in matches in the NorthernCounties SoccerAssociation (NCSA).

The Under 14 Boys ‘A’ travel teamavenged their only loss of the season by defeat-ing Sportsfriends SoccerClub ofWayne, 2-0 onSaturday,Nov. 20. Paul Leale scored the game’sfirst goal in the twenty-firstminute after a beau-tiful feed fromJustin Picache.Then twominutesbefore the half, Dennis Paus stole the ball atmidfield, made a great pass down the wing to astreakingLeale,who crossed the ball to Picachethen with a little chip, Myungjin Bang, headedthe ball home.

That was all the scoring the boys needed asthe midfield and defense dominated the game.MikePayan recordedhis fifth shutout of the sea-son as Fort Lee didn’t allow a goal from the op-posing teamat homeall year.The team took firstplace with a record of 6-1-2. The rest of theteam’s roster consisted of: Richard Capone,Henry Chen, Danny Duarte, ElmarEbrahimzadeh, Sasha Ivanoff, Taiga Kikuchi,Amil Prajapati,RyoSugawara,ArifToremis andZacharyWielkocz.

Despite losing four starters from last year’sUnder 8 teamand facing an 0-2 start this season,new coach John Park and hisUnder 9 Boys ‘A’travel team finished the season on a high noteby losing only one other game the rest of theyear, as they defeated the River Dell Black-hawks 5-1 leading the team with an impressiverecord of 5 wins, 3 losses and 2 ties.

The defense of Yutaka Imanishi, Aaron

Sourek, and Paul Kim was too much for theBlackhawk offense, allowing only five shots ongoal during the whole contest. Combined withtwo great saves by goalie Christopher Park, theUnder 9 boys showed to be a strong defensiveteam. Left midfielder Hiromasa Fujita was onfire scoring all 5 goals, assisted by Darin Yun(2), Jordan Rodriguez (2) and Sebastian Sepul-veda (1). Great supporting roles and teamworkwere performed by Eric Kim and MilanAntonopolous.

Each week the team improved as they fin-ished in a tie for fourth place and only one pointaway from third place.

The Under 12 Boys ‘A’ travel team de-feated theWyckoff Torpedoes 2-1 in their finalmatch of the season. PeterKim scored the open-ing goal 18 minutes into the contest when theTorpedoes goalkeepermade a save on the initialFort Lee shot, but redirected the ball toKimwhotapped the ball into the empty net. Ten minuteslater, Chris Korkis outmuscled two defendersand chipped his shot over the keeper for a 2-0lead.

While Fort Lee appeared on the verge of ablowout victory, the Torpedoes held firm ontheir home field and made the U12’s earn theirwin as they tallied early in the half and foughthard for the equalizer, only to be denied eachtime by goalkeeper Mohamed Abdelhamid,whomade two diving saves, deflected two oth-ers away, snatched several hard shots taken di-rectly at him and punched out several othercrosses into the box to douse a potential tyinggoal. Fort Lee’s defense held tight with NicolasDanciu’s and Jacob Im’s man-to-man defense.Midfielders GeorgeMoraitis, Dwight Kim andAndyWon provided valuable second half min-

utes.Although Fort Lee finished 5-5, the team

was actually only one point away from finishingin third place in the competitive NCSAPremierDivision. Fort Lee actually defeated third placeRidgefield twice during the fall season (the onlyteam to do so) and were the only team to defeateventual champion Ironbound with a 2-1 win.Four of the teams five losses cameby only goal.Other accomplishments include allowing thesecond least amount of goals in the division.With an amicable showing against top clubteams that play-year round, Fort Lee looks tobuild upon its season next fall.

TheUnder 8 Girls travel teamdefeated theWyckoffTorpedoes 4-2 onNov20despitemiss-ing two key players. Forward Rebecca Caganintercepted a clearance twelve minutes into thematch, dribbled the ball in and tallied for theopening goal. At the 19-minute mark of the

match, defender Nadia Kostenko drove the ballup the left wing and found Arielle Jacus, whododged 3 defenders to give Fort Lee a 2-1 half-time lead.

In the beginning of the second half, theTor-pedoes scored in the thirty-eighthminute despitea valiant attempt by goalkeeper Grace Kim tomake a save. Fort Lee bounced back immedi-ately as the team earned a penalty kick whichwas converted by Kostenko. The Under 8 Girlsadded an insurance goal, which may have beenthe goal of thematch.With eight minutes to go,Jessica Yee dribbled down the right wing andcrossed the ball into the penalty area onto astreaking Gabriella Clemente as the ball wasplaced into the lower left corner of the goal,wellout of the reach of the opposing goalkeeper.

The following day, Fort Lee battled theRidgewoodMaroons to a 1-1 tie at home atVanFleet Park on a goal byAmyDiaz.
