CorrectionTHE LEADER erroneously re­

ported last week that the vote on the referendum asking residents to switch from a police chief to civil­ian director for the police department was held in May 1996. The vote was in May 1997. We regret the error.

by T h o m A m m ir a t o

Returning a police ch ief to the township police department is pre­mature, says Commissioner Albert Opacity, who earlier this year op­posed placing a referendum on the November ballot asking voters to switch from a civilian director back to a chief.

Opacity says there has not been enough time to evaluate the work o f the civilian director, James Tobin, who was appointed in January.

“ The people voted for a change and we should at least give it a year or two before we vote on it again," says Opacity.

In M ay 1997 voters agreed to dump the police chief and go with a civilian director. The referendum was prompted by a conflict between form er Tow nship Com m issioner Paul Haggerty and the former police chief John A. Scalese, who wanted to appoint his successor.

A big factor in the debate then was costs. Scalese, nearing retirement, was pulling down a $98,895 a year salary, plus he had nearly $250,000 in unused sick time. Tobin makes $50,000 and a new chief would cost the township nearly double what Tobin earns.

“ We are not going to save money by going back to a chief,” says Opac­

ity

Mayor James Guida, who is Police Commissioner rebuts Opacity’ s ar­guments saying that Tobin signed only a one year contract, which ends in Januaury. To resign him or to hire another director will cost more than $50,000, he says, thereby minimiz­ing any savings to taxpayers.

“ It’ s not too soon,” says Guida.On a philosophical point. Opacity

argues that it makes more sense to have a civilian director who is an­swerable to the commissioners rather than a police chief who is answer- able to no one. Under the state’ s ar­cane police chief laws, says Opacity, town officials have little control over police chiefs.

“ I f you appoint a chief, a chief doesn’ t have to listen to you,” says Opacity, who notes that state law is out o f step with the way the federal government oversees law enforce­ment and military personnel. Fed­eral police officials, says Opacity, work under the guidance o f a civil­ian attorney general, who is a politi­cal appointment o f the president. Sim ilarly, he notes, U.S. military personnel come under the control o f the Secretary o f Defense and the president, who serves as Commander in C hief o f the armed forces.

“ The people (who voted for the ref­erendum) said they wanted more control over the police department

and they wanted to save money. They can’ t do either with a chief,” says Opacity.

“ You need civilian control. This is a government o f the people,” he adds.

Guida has strong allegiances to Captain James O’Connor, whom he appointed to the newly created posi­tion o f inspector at $82,000 a year. O’ Connor will likely become the next police chief if voters decide to abolish the director's post.

Guida says O ’Connor is anything but a dictator and will be easy to work with as chief o f police. He dism isses O p a c ity 's claim o f O'Connor becoming a dictator as pure baloney.’ “ O ’Connor comes

to me every day. He’ s not a dicta­tor.”

Opacity says he has not yet decided to mount an organized effort to de­feat the referendum to reinstall the chief, but he says he believes that taxpayers want to stay with the ci­vilian director, even i f the May 1997 referendum passed by only one vote.

“ I f we had a commissioner elec­tion and Mayor Guida won by one vote, we wouldn’ t have a new elec­tion a year later just becomes o f the slim margin," says Opacity. “The people have said what they want. I think the people are for the police director.”

Aid offsets tax hike; commissioners to get raise.... -r 7 j oby T h o m A m m ir a t o

The township’ s tax increase will drop by one point thanks to $ 150,000 discretionary aid grant from the state announced Mayor James Guida.

The grant will mean the 1999 tax hike will drop from a projected four points to three points as the tax rate increases from $2 .33 per $ 10 0 o f as­sessed valuation to $2.36. The aver­age homeowner will see a $42 in­crease in their municipal taxes, said Tow nship T reasu rer Deborah Ferrato. The discretionary aid will affect tax bills that are mailed out in February and May

Ferrato said the 1999 township budget will receive its second and final hearing during the week o f October 19.

On another financial issue, the Leader has learned that the township commissioners are about to vote themselves a sizable raise.

The commissioners have included money in the yet-to-be approved

1999 budget that will more than double their salaries to $5,200 a year. The com m issioner h old in g the mayor’ s position will see his salary rise to $5,500. Currently, commis­sioners are paid $2 ,200 and the mayor receives $2,500.

The raises will likely not be ap­proved until November when the commissioners approve the 1999 salary ordinance, accord in g to Ferrato. I f the raises are approved as part o f the salary ordinance, the commissioners will be paid retroac­tively to July I , the start o f the 1999 fiscal year.

The Township salary ordinance ex­pires at the end o f each fiscal year, which is June 30, and must be voted on and approved by the commission­ers for the following year’ s budget. Township Attorney Jam es Guida said the commissioners are permit­ted to vote themselves a raise.

The increase in salary will be the first such raise in recent memory. By

Avenue in Lyndhurst between the hours o f 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. This year is to benefit various chari­table and youth organizations.

There will be music and karaoke with D.J. Bill Caffery, Pony Rides, Moonwalk, Sand and Spin Art, Face and Pumpkin Painting for the kids. The variety o f vendors will have a selection o f items from novelties to

clothing, something for everyone on your Christmas list this year. Food and drinks will be available for pur­chase, as well as cakes and candy apples. Don’t forget to buy your 50/ 50 ticket to be drawn on Saturday, October 10. The Juniors will also be selling the 50/50’s at Edwards Super Food Store on Friday, Octo­ber 9th from 5 - 9 p.m. located on Riverside Avenue in Lyndhurst.

Lyndhurst Annual Halloween Parade, where you can look your worst and still get a prize

Commissioner Paul Passamano, Jr. is holding the Annual Halloween Parade this year on Saturday, Octo­ber 31, which is sponsored by the Department o f Recreation and the Mayor’s Substance Abuse Commit­tee (S.A.C).

Children o f all ages are welcome to participate and prizes will be awarded for the following categories: most original, unusual, scariest, fun­niest, prettiest, and best costume all around.

“Trick or Treaters” will assemble

in the Town Hall Park Gazebo lo­cated on Delafield Avenue at 9:00 am. As in the past, youngsters will march past the Carucci Apartments so the seniors will have the opportu­nity to see them and therefore the line o f march will go as follows: from the gazebo, they will make a right on Pine Street, left on Tontine Av­enue, left on Stuyvestant Avenue, left on Valley Brook Avenue, left on Delafield Avenue to the Town Hall Gazebo.

If the weather is inclement, the

youngsters will go directly to the Senior Citizens Building where the judging will be done.

During the march, the judging of the above categories of costumes will be determined by members o f the Lyndhurst Junior Women’s Club. When arriving back at the Town Hall Gazebo, prizes will be awarded along with goodie bags.

Com« out and join the fun! For information, call the Rec­

reation Department at 201- 804- 2482.

On September 28 at 7 pm, the Lyndhurst Municipal Alliance held its 50/50 drawing at Town Hall Park in the Gazebo. Mayor Guida was on hand to draw the winning ticket, which belonged to three Lyndhurst boys: Billy, Brian and Justin Kapp. The boys won $ 1,335 dollars.

End o f story? No way! The Kapp family naturally had discussed what they would do if they actually won the drawing. Parents Gail and Gor­don had decided that if their ticket won, they would donate the amount to the fund for Joseph Carrano, a Lyndhurst resident who has been di­agnosed with a brain tumor. The boys had a ticket in their own names, so it would be totally their decision what to do if they won. When their mom, Gail Kapp, brought home the news o f their good fortune, and asked what they wanted to do, the boys didn't hesitate. They elected to donate the entire amount o f $ 1 ,335 to the Joseph Carrano fund. Both the older boys

know Joseph Carrano, and it's obv i- ous that all three boys have big hearts.

"M y husband and I are both vers proud o f them," said Gail Kapp.

Mayor James Guida said. I he boys showed that they're really great kids I think it’ s a tremendous reflection on their upbringing. And it shows the spirit o f Lyndhurst. that everyone works together when there's trouble "

comparison with other local officials, the commissioners salary is paltry. Council members in North Arling­ton earn more than $6,000 with an additional $ 1 ,0 0 0 going to the mayor.

Com m unity activ ist M ichael Guarino said the pay hikes “ don't bother me. When you look at what these other towns get, what’ s the big deal.”

Mayor James Guida said the pay hike is necessary when you consider the number o f hours the commission­ers put in each week and their re­sponsibilities. Under the commis­sion form of government, he notes, the elected officials are responsible for the day to day operations o f their respective departments.

“ I put a lot o f time here, sometimes from 9 in the morning to three or four in the afternoon. That doesn’ t leave a lot o f time to do other work,” said Guida.

rte’i g o t “tn e v i i lo n ” - Mayor Jam es Guida donates tom e Lyndhurst Lions Club “Project Fire Vision". The Lions will be purchasing a Ther­mal Imaging Camera for the Lyndhurst Fire Department with the money they raise for Project Fire Vision. Looking on are Lyndhurst Fire De­partment Lieutenant Ryan Martin and Ruth Woertz, secretary of the Lions Club

The Lyndhurst Juniors are most noted for their work in the Community o f Lyndhurst with such projects as “ Com m issioner for a Day” essay contest, “ Wish Tree/ Teddy Bear Sunday” held at St. M ichael’ s in Lyndhurst, “ Town Christmas Tree Lighting,” judging o f the Town “ Halloween Parade.” They also support youth sports and other youth activities. For further information about the Lyndhurst Juniors or the “ Octoberfest” call (201)933-3462.

The Lyndhurst Lions Club Project Fire Vision kicked o ff with a dem­onstration o f a Thermal Imaging Cam era at the Senior C itizen ’ s Building on September 22. The camera, which allows firefighters to see victims in a dark, smoke filled environment, is the latest commu­nity project for the Lions.

According to Lions Club president Dennis Taras, the demonstration went very well and people were very impressed. Taras himself was very impressed. “ I thought it was fantas­tic,” he said. “ I went into a smoke filled room where I couldn’t see my hand in front o f my face, used the camera, and instantly saw the per­son in the room."

Everyone in attendance got the opportunity to actually use the cam­era. Mayor Guida was enthusiastic. “ It’ s an amazing camera; it’ s 2 1st century equipment. It’ s something we need, although hopefully w e’ ll

never have to use it. .The Lions C lub began its

fun draising effo rts outside the Lyndhurst Shop Rite on September 19, raising $1800 towards the pur­chase o f the cam era for the Lyndhurst Fire Department I he Lions will be running a Cashola at the Lyndhurst Burger King every Tuesday and Thursday in October, except October 22, from 5-8 pm Proceeds from the Cashola will also go towards the camera. Additional fundraising is being planned. I he total necessary to purchase the cam­era is $18,000.

“ It’ s a worthwhile cause," said Taras. “ It will help our fire depart ment save more lives.

Anyone wishing to make a dona­tion to the Lyndhurst Lions Club for Project Fire Vision may send it to Lyndhurst Lions Club, Attn: Dennis Taras, PO Box 283, Lyndhurst. NJ 07071.

Republican Congressional candi­date Steve Lonegan has experienced ‘ the system.’

As a young man with a severe vi­sion impairment, he began receiving social security and disability pay­ments upon the death o f his father. After graduating with an M BA from Fairleigh Dickinson, he struggled to find work. He finally was hired as a salesman for a small kitchen cabi­net store, making less than $12,000 that first year. When he approached the government agencies to say he had found em ploym ent, they promptly told him he was earning over their limit and needed to pay back the difference. “ The system is designed to keep you in it,” he says. Still, Lonegan persevered, paid back the government, and even managed to purchase the small kitchen cabi­net business when his boss decided to sell. Lonegan has built that busi­ness into what he says is the most successful kitchen distributor in New Jersey, with 40 employees. Along the way he has dealt with such gov­ernment agencies as the DEP, and OSHA, and has first-hand experi­ence with the bidding ‘ system.’

In 1994, with taxes in his home­town o f Bogota the highest in Ber­gen County. Lonegan ran for mayor

and won the election. Since taking office in 1995, he has cut the budget in Bogota three years in a row, from S6.15 million in 1995 to $5.8 mil­lion in 1997. “ We streamlined and cut wherever we could," he said. When asked if services were cut, he said no. "Services in Bogota are bet­ter than ever. I believe w e've really turned the town around.” He is proud to say that Bogota was the first municipality in New Jersey to have a joint planning board, and to priva­tize financial operations. “ You don t have to be a brain surgeon; what I learned running a business helped me run Bogota," he said.

Now Lonegan is making a bid for Congress against incumbent Steve Rothman. “ In federal government,I would be able to do a lot for a lotmore people. Because I've been in­volved in government/client rela­tionships, and been involved in lo­cal government, my experience is more far-reaching and 1 feel I am more in touch”

On taxes, Lonegan said, 'There is no excuse why we should be taxed so high. The goal should be a 25% tax. We shouldn't have to work all day Monday and part o f Tuesday just to pay our taxes.”

Regarding social security. Lonegan

is against privatizing. “ Money taken out o f a paycheck for social security should be dedicated only to social security. It should not be used for anything else. It should be invested in bonds and mutual funds, which by the way is not privatizing. We should not be letting Congress raid social security for other purposes.”

Lonegan feels education “ is a lo­cal issue, best left in the hands of parents and teachers. The federal government should stay out.” He feels parents should have school choice. “ Kids should be afraid o f the next test, not afraid o f the kid next to them ”

On the local level, Lonegan feels the biggest single issue is aircraft noise. “ It's the #1 quality o f life is­sue.” Lonegan was instrumental in petitioning the FA A in ‘96 for the ILS system currently being installed in Teterboro Airport. He is all for ocean routing in Newark, using the Raritan Bay Corridor, which he said would make a big impact on the noise in southern Bergen County

And on the “ question o f the hour0'' "President Clinton should resign.' said Lonegan "It 's a difficult issue for the country to face. Hey, it’ s dif­ficult to punish a child, but it still needs to be done.”

F ire traged ies can be preven ted by adoptin g safe habitsThe Independent Insurance Agents

o f BergenTludson County (UABHC) warn that the best way to avoid a fire loss is not to have one. According to Dave Sayles. President o f the County Association, avoiding a fire is not a matter o f luck. It's a matter o f adopting sensible habits.

The number of fires that occur in the home is overwhelming. Sadly, most are preventable. Electrical fires can be avoided by making sure not to overload wall sockets and exten­sion cords. Wires and cords should not be placed under rugs over nails or near water. Cord with tears, frays, or m issing prongs should be dis­

carded. Appliances that spark or omit unusual smells should not be used.

Kitchen fires are another matter. Careless cooking is the number one cause o f fires in the home. Accord­ing to Sayles some o f the best tips to prevent these fires are:• Never leave stove unattended• Keep pot holders, towels, and uten­sils away from hot surfaces• Unplug appliances when not in use• Watch hair and loose fitting cloth­ing around flames• Don’ t spray flammable chemicals near an open flame• Don’ t put metal in the microwave

• Clean up accumulated grease• Have a fire extinguisher handy• If you have a pan fire try to smother it with a lid , or pan or fire extin­guisher - avoid water

“ As far as other sensible tips for around the house,” says Sayles. “ watch out where you store newspa­pers and combustibles, have your chimney cleaned regularly, and store outside equipment away from where you filled it with fuel. If you have to use space heaters, give them lots o f room, never leave them unattended, and don't use them with extension cords.

Be prepared: proper fire drills can save livesIn conjunction with National Fire

Prevention & Awareness the Inde­pendent Insurance Agents o f Bergen/Hudson County (IIABH C) warn that fire drills can save lives.

The scary facts about fires are that they are fast moving, produce lethal gases and can generate temperatures

300 «Wd 1*200 degrees.Flames can engulf a home in a mat­ter o f minutes. Being prepared to make immediate escape is your best precaution.

“ Unlike what is seen in the mov­ies,” warns Dave Sayles, president o f the 11ABHC, “ fires are very dark - Know the exits

because o f the thick, heavy smoke By staying low to the floor you can better see your exit, not to mention avoiding the intense heat and chok­ing gases from the smoke above. Crawl to your nearest exit. Before opening a door, feel it with your hand. If it is hot there may be flames on-the other side and another exit mas be better.”

Practicing for this kind o f emer­gency is the best way to be prepared Sayles offers the following advice that should be shared with family members - especially children:

Felician College will join the New England C o lleg iate Conference (NECC) on September 1, 1999. The announcement was made by NECC Com m ission er Dr. W illiam M. Moore and Felician Athletic Direc­tor Robert Symons.

Felician was granted membership into the National Collegiate Athletic Association (N CAA) Division li in August, moving up from National Association o f Intercollegiate Ath­letics (N A 1A ) status. Entering the NCAA is a four-year process, mak­ing the school ineligible for NCAA tournament competition for four years, and therefore, w ill not partici­pate in the N ECC basketball tour­naments for the first three years in the Conference.

Felician has an enrollment o f 1250 students on two campuses, in Lodi and R utherford . N J. in Bergen County, just 30 minutes from New York City .

"We are very excited about becom­ing a mem ber o f N E C C ,” said

Felician Athletic Director Robert Symons. “ I feel that Felician and the Conference are a good fit. We are very similar academically and athletically to the schools in the Con­ference and we will help each other competitively. Our acceptance into the N ECC really opens some doors for us and is a great opportunity for our young program '

The Golden Falcons are in just their third year o f sponsoring inter­collegiate athletics. Felician cur­rently competes in five sports, men's and women's soccer and basketball, along with softball. The school will add baseball in the spring o f 2000 and men's and women’s cross coun­try in the fall o f 2000. All sports are sponsored by the NECC.

The Felician Gymnasium (1500 cap.) is located on the Rutherford campus and is used by the men's and women's basketball teams, l he soc­cer teams use the 20th Century Field (500) in nearby Garfield, NJ. while the softball team uses the Lodi Rec-

reation Field (200).Despite Felician's young athletic

program, the men’ s and women’ s basketball team each advanced to the NAIA Northeast Regional Tourna­ment in 1997-1998. and the softball team finished the season and ranked fourth in the Northeast Region.

“ fhe addition o f Felician College into the NECC brings the conference to a w orkable level o f nine schools,” said NECC Commissioner Dr. Will­iam M. Moore. “ Felician will add strength to the NECC. They have a growing program and should be very competitive in the N ECC's champi­onship sports"

The admission o f Felician College, along with Teikyo Post o f Waterbury, Connecticut, in 1999 will keep the N EC C with nine members as the Conference loses University at A l­bany, Sacred Heart University and University at Stony Brook to Divi­sion I prior to the 1999-2000 aca­demic year.

- Stay low to the ground and crawl to the nearest exit- Yell fire to help awaken others in­stead o f going to each room- If an exit is blocked put a towel or blanket under the door to keep smoke out. Signal at the window for help- Have a set meeting place outside the home for family members to meet- Never go back inside- I f your clothes catch on fire do not run. Stop, cover your face, drop to the ground and roll back and forth.- Don't ignore the sound o f a smoke detector- Have emergency numbers by the phones

At wits end? Here’s eight ways for parents to be involved in their young teen’s lifeB y C h r i s t i n e M c G u i g a n - B r u n e s s

Parents have always been an im­portant influence in a youngster’ s life, and that continues when chil­dren move into their young adoles­cent years (10 to 15). As part o f Month o f the Young Adolescent (M O YA) this October, 37 national education, health, and youth orga­nizations are calling upon parents to consider eight ways to remain ac­tiv e ly in vo lved in their young adolescent's life.

“ This is a tough time for both parents and children because young adolescents are pushing away from parents attempting to build their own persona,” explained Sue Swaim, ex­ecutive director o f National Middle School Association (N M SA), the initiator o f M OYA. “ Young adoles­cence is the second most important period in a person’ s development and

it's essential that parents provide counsel.”

The NMSA suggests eight specific activities:1. Make sure at least one a d u l t a t

your child's school knows h e r o r him well.2. Find a way to be involved with your ch ild 's school-chaperone a dance or field trip, be part of a school clean-up team, share a talent or trade with a small group of students.3. Although special times with sour young adolescent-a fishing trip, a movie at home, a shopping trip-are important, it is even more critical to spend some time together each da\ really listening to what your child is saying.4. Ask a lot o f questions, even at the risk o f being intrusive-you are the

parent! Ask what homework has been assigned, with whom he or she ate lunch, what happened in math­ematics class.

5. Set a mutually agreed upon time that he or she will be home from school and expect a telephone call o f explanation if they are late.6. Know your child’ s friends and al­low groups o f them to gather at your house only when there will be an adult at home. Sixteen year-old sib­lings don’ t count.7. Always call to make sure that an adult will be present at gatherings your child attends at someone else’s house.8. L.et them know that you care b\ refusing to put them in situations that require adult judgment. This is dif­ficult but worth the commitment.

Resident advocates hard work and experience of Len KaiserDear Editor,

1 would like to publicly endorse Mayor Len Kaiser, Councilwoman King and Councilman Whittles in their bid for re-election.

As an educator, I am well aware o f the invaluable benefits derived from

recreation programs in molding young children into productive mem­bers o f our community. The quality o f services and programs afforded to all citizens in North Arlington are a DIRECT result o f the hard work and experience o f Mayor Kaiser and his

Administration. For this reason, and many more, Mayor Kaiser and his slate should be re-elected to continue the excellent job they have been do­ing for years.

Patrick Tierney North Arlington

Dear Editor,As a taxpayer, husband and par­

ent, I have to respond to some o f the comments made in last week's edi­tion by one Robert Cerco.

Mr. Cerco seems to think that ris­ing property taxes spiraling out o f control are not an issue here in the borough. In fact, he says that high taxes are something we as property owners must “ accept!”

Does Mr. Cerco own a home? Who does he represent? Has he ever had to feed a family or plan a family bud­get? What are his responsibilities that he can tell others that taxes don't matter?

Standing on a street comer as a paid election worker for the GOP one day out o f the year hardly makes Mr.

Cerco an expert on the issues facing North Ailington. While I did not know his father, did the former coun­cilman ever cross party lines and support a Republican? I highly doubt it.

While this cheerleader for the sta­tus quo tells us Mr. Kaiser's “ accom­plishments'' are too numerous to mention, why isn’ t he able to men­tion one?

The writer seems to have much to say and little to back up his asser­tions. He seems to be a political fence jumper out o f touch with the realities o f local government in 1998. When was the last time he attended a council meeting?

To call Councilman Renshaw “ in­experienced" is just wrong. Coun-

Reader set writer straight on facts of Fern Avenue fire storyDear Editor,

1 am responding to the article writ­ten in The Leader about the fire that occurred at 1 79 Fern Avenue on Sat­urday, September 5,1998. I consider the contents o f the article to be inac­curate and incomplete.

The fire did result from a burning candle, but the candle was not unat­tended because my son and his friends were in the back room while the candles were burning. And when they left the room to go into the front room to watch television , they thought they had blown all o f the candles out. Evidently, a candle was still lit and must have fallen over. When my son and his friends heard the alarm and smelled the smoke, he rushed to the back room, opened the door, but the room was already in flames. He realized that he could

do nothing but get out o f the house and get help. When my son Tom and his friends went to the front o f the house, they noticed that both o f my tenant’ s cars were parked out­side. Upon the realization that the tenant was still in the house, my son and his friend Tony broke down the outer door and my tenant's door in order to help him out. At the time, my tenant was on crutches as he was still recovering from a broken foot, so this disability would have made it very difficult for him to exit the burning building by himself. My tenant was extremely thankful that my son and his friend were coura­geous enough to reenter a burning building, w ith no regard to their own safety, so as to rescue him from a dangerous situation.

1 am very proud o f my son and his

friend for being so courageous and I don’t know if 1 would have been able to perform such a tremendous act o f bravery i f I had been in that situa­tion.

It is your journalistic duty to re­port the truth. Unfortunately, when disaster strikes, people are always looking to point a finger o f blame. In this case, it should be noted that the same person blamed for not be­ing responsible is the true hero o f this story. Somehow, in your article, you manage to make a really great per­son feel irresponsible and senseless. When in fact, he w as sensible enough to take the responsibility for someone else’ s well being and per­form an act o f bravery that could make any father proud!

N.A. resident thanks Lyndhurst emergency services for aidIX'ar Editor.

On a bright and sunny day on the 12th o f November in 1997 my life changed into a nightmare. As a very competent medical staff fought to keep me alive I am happy to say that from a wheel chair, walker and now a quad cane I can hop along at a snail’ s pace but mobile I am.

I would like to thank those people who without them I would not be here. First, the very competent Lyndhurst Police Department, Emer­gency Squad and Firemen who re­sponded to my car accident. A l­though I recall very little at the time. I have heard many good things and I wish I knew all your names to thank each o f you personally.

To Dr. John LoCurto, Director, Department o f Trauma, Hackensack University Medical Center, you will

forever be in my prayers. To Dr. John Podjedinec, Hackensack, Dr. Wm. Boss, H ackensack. Dr. M arc Polim eni, T eaneck , Dr. Steven Lomazow, B ellev ille and to Dr. Angelo Calabrese, North Arlington (my personal physician) thank you.

God bless Lyndhurst Emergency Squad for saving resident s lifeDear Editor, '* ,h'' emer‘

On June 30th o f this year, I was not feeling w ell. I went up to Dr.Faugno’ s office where I went into cardiac arrest. Dr. Faugno ( the wonderful doctor that he i s ) admin­istered CPR until the Emergency Squad could get there. I was uncon­scious and remember nothing, but from what I understand there were a

lot o f people there from the emer­gency squad. They kept me alive until I got to the hospital and thank­fully I am here today to write this thank you note. On behalf o f my family and m yself I would like to thank Dr. Faugno and all the mem­bers o f the Lyndhurst Emergency Squad for saving my life. 1 don’t know who they are or I would thank

them all in person. The job they do is so important and I can’ t thank them enough. Thanks to all involved in helping me. I would not be here today to enjoy my family and the every day things we all take for granted, i f it were not for them Thanks again and God bless you all

Candidate says its time for County residents to have a voicein Bergen County. This fact, com- in the other municipalities o f Beibined with the conflict o f issues re- gen County to have a voice on howsuiting from some o f the Freehold- the highest property taxes in theers holding office in their own towns, only heightens the reality o f regional favoritism on how our property taxes are spent. • „

Dear Editor,In 1986 when Bergen County

switched to a County Executive form o f government, the decision to have Freeholders elected by districts rather than at-large was defeated by only one vote committee.

Now in 1998, there is a distinct possibility o f having the large ma­jority o f the seven members o f the Board o f Chosen Freeholders com­ing from neighboring municipalities

United States are spent.It is time for all residents of Ber

gen County to be afforded taxation with representation in our ever­growing county government.

It is time to reconsider the elec­tion o f Freeholders by district, with some countywide, at-large seats. This will allow property tax payers

All citizens have tremendous responsibility of upgrading schools

North Arlington Democrats blast Cerco for last week’s lettercilman Renshaw is a responsible business executive, parent, husband and hom eowner. Councilm an Renshaw has spearheaded the TRANSCO petition drive when this administration opted to do nothing. Councilman Renshaw has put tax­payers first on a series o f votes that challenged this administration’ s ob­session with high taxes, government waste and mountains o f new debt.

I f the m ayor’ s supporters are people who think high property taxes are something we need to “ accept,” I can’t think o f a better testimonial for change than Mr. Cerco’ s self- serving praise o f a career politician about to be thrown out o f office.

Jerry Decicco North Arlington

Dear Editor,A s a life lon g resident o f

Lyndhurst, I believe I have to bring out the tremendous responsibility all our citizens have to upgrade our school facilities. No matter what our ages or whether a family member attends the school system or not, we all have the obligation o f giving our youth the best education possible.

The school buildings have no true auditorium, no true science labs, art labs, gyms, and music rooms just to name a few deficiencies. To keep patching these buildings is certainly not the answer. Those who say “ it was good enough for us” are wrong, as we are entering the 2 1st century with schools built in the 1800s.

1 commend the present board for

their efforts in putting up an all pur­pose room and gym at Jefferson School but this still falls short for what is needed.

I also realize that the funding of education solely through property taxes must be changed, and that the property owner has genuine concerns that have merit. To this group, I pledge that I will use every means at my disposal to bring monies in and use any innovative plan to keep costs down. I truly believe there are ways to accomplish this.

There is a second group that have been against every advance Lyndhurst has made. They tried to stop me when the Senior Living building went up, they tried to stop the Senior-Rec Center, the youth soc­

cer field, the cleanup o f chemical plants and the new youth center Many o f these same rabble rousers now live in the Senior building, pla> at the Senior Rec. Center and enjo> the park fa c ilitie s they rallied against.

To shortchange our youngsters, the very lifeblood o f our township would send Lyndhurst on a downward spi­ral in the new millennium. Know ing the wonderful efforts put forth in our township leagues and with the cooperation o f our Seniors and Par­ents 1 believe this mission will be accomplished.

Why vote against something that would benefit our children?Dear Editor,

I am upset at the recent vote on the bond issue for a new soccer field, which was passed last Tuesday by a 4-2 vote. My concern is with the two nay votes and why anyone would vote against something that would benefit our children. 1 have been involved with the North Arlington Soccer Association since its incep­tion in 1977. Whether it was as a player, referee or coach, I’ve seen and been through it all, so 1 consider myself an expert on the Association’ s quest for a new soccer field. Since the expansion o f Roosevelt School some 5+ years ago we have been left without a regulation size field. In those five years we have formed vari­ous committees to research possible sites for a new field. The current bond issue and proposal was one o f those sites we looked into then, but we were unable to obtain the land. I

still have the plans from that time, so this was not a decision made in haste. This location was the best then and it is still the best now be­cause o f its accessibility, size and potential for future expansion. It would not just be a new soccer field it could be the start o f a Recreational Complex for all sports. I know vari­ous issues have come up about the lack o f lights, bathrooms, and snack bars for the proposed field, but the majority o f the membership agrees with me that we should get the field first and pursue the amenities later. Without a regulation-sized field we cannot compete on the Traveling Level and we force our children to play on unsuitable smaller fields in the Recreation League.

1 have two children who live in this town, and one o f them will be play­ing soccer starting next year. 1 want

them to have the best facilities to play on but if one o f the nay voters would get elected mayor, all hopes o f a new field would look bleak. The less we do for the children the more we drive people away from North Arlington. I for one would not want to live in a town where there would be nothing for the children. I would like an ex­planation on why there were two nay votes and I don’ t want to hear it’ s because o f lights or snack bars be­cause I was never asked by either naysayer one question about what the Association needed in a new field. This decision should not come down to politics, it should be about giving the children a place to play and in­vesting in the future o f North Arling­ton.

Dear Editor,Official enrollment numbers pro­

vided to the N J State Department o f Education evidences a significant increase in student population in the Lyndhurst School District.

A quick review o f the student cen­sus during the decade o f the 1990’ s shows the numbers as follows:

Total student enrollment:1990-91 - 1,739 ; 1997-98 - 2, 001

Total enrollment at LHS:1990-91 -5 2 6 ; 1997-98- 536

The total increase in students at­tending Lyndhurst Schools is 262 students. When compared to the average number o f students attend­ing a Lyndhurst elementary school in 1990 (202 students), we can see that the district has grown consider­ably.

A recent letter to the editor writ­ten by Mary Sheridan, stated there was a large decrease in enrollment. Her point appears to be that Lyndhurst students, teachers, admin­istrators and parents are fa iling,

causing people to flock from the schools. But when the numbers are analyzed by anyone who does not carry a grudge against our school system, it s easy to recognize that her numbers are wrong and her interpre­tation is flawed. Our school popu­lation is soaring. Everyone is work­ing hard; students, teachers, admin­istrators and all support personnel. That's a fact, and should be recog­nized. The Lyndhurst Educators’ Association members. Administra­tors and Supervisors and all other staff members are to be congratulated and respected for their efforts.

Sheridan always said she was bad with figures. She certainly is right about that! However, her hurtful comments go beyond misquoting numbers to justify her ridiculous con­clusions. Sheridan continues to es­calate the level o f falsehoods she spreads, and everyone including our children suffer. Sheridan now quali­fies herself by beginning these essays with the phrase, “ Rumor has it,” pro-

Sheridan isn ’ t alone however, there are a few others who attend meetings to shoot out what they call facts, but are nothing more than mis­quotes, misread figures or outright lies. Another member o f this little group recen tly insu lted our children’ s intelligence and our staffs abilities at a public meeting. School board members quickly put that per­son in his place, telling him o f the successes our students have enjoyed and the accolades our teachers and administrators have earned for them­selves and our district.

Parents are urged to attend meet­ings to observe these people, “ live and in person.” Listen to what these people are saying about your chil­dren!

Was someone everTHE LEADER

released by parachute from that balloon in Nutley?» » . ______ ii-rtn lH l a n p h an .

Vagabonding,n M lc Sa\ ¡M

When I wrote about walking to Nutley when I was a little girl, to see a balloon rising, 1 never thought there was anyone else who remem­bered the event. But here is a letter from Ellen Hollar and Robert J. Hannagan. They asked me if I re­member or saw that someone was re­leased from the parachute. I don’t remember that at all but maybe someone does and will tell us about it.

“ Dear Charlotte,My father has been a reader o f the

Commercial Leader for many years. He is 86 years old and lived most of his life in Lyndhurst - 72 years! Ten years ago he moved to Vernon, NJ, where he lives with me. He has con­tinued to have the Com m ercial

Leader sent to our home and has es­pecially enjoyed the Vagabonding column because he also remembers so many o f the things you write about in that column. Dad really looks forward to reading it each week.

As his daughter, I’ve listened to many stories o f what it was like back in “ the old days” in Lyndhurst. I spent m any years o f my life in Lyndhurst, too, but these stories are about times long before mine.

One o f the things I’ ve often heard about was the big balloon in Nutley. From Lyndhurst he could see it ris­ing into the air with the smoke drift­ing away once it floated back to the ground. However, I know that Dad had always been bothered by the fact that he didn’ t know anyone else wh" ever remembered that. Needless to

say, he was so surprised and happy to read your recent Vagabonding col­umn where you mentioned it. Then came the column where another wom an w rote to you about her memories also o f the balloon at Hill­side Park in Nutley.

Now, what Dad is still wondering about is whether there is any truth to the stories he had heard that some­thing or someone was released by parachute from the balloon back to the ground. Since he was very young at the time and never actually got to Nutley to see the balloon up close, he doesn’ t know i f that really hap­pened or i f those stories came from other ch ild ren ’ s im aginations. Therefore, we would love to see if any o f your readers know anything about that! We hope you’ ll ask the question in your column, and w e’ ll be watching for any response.

Thank you very much.Sincerely ,

L l l e n Hollar & Robert J. Hannagan’’

Thank you for your letter. I hope someone can answer your question.

In a college course, my sister wrote an article extolling the accomplish­ments o f my mother. The professor who had assigned the work liked the article so much, he read it to the class. His comment at the end was, “ O f course, father had something to do with all this too.” When my sis­ter told my father about it he was thrilled.

I know how little children love to be read to and my advice to parents always was, “ Read to your children.”Even grow nups enjoy being read to.

Our high school English teacher read to us every day and we could scarcely wait to get to her class, it was so en­joyable.

My father would never let you say you were bored. He would say, “ Go to a museum. Grant’ s Tomb or the Statue o f Liberty, or read. Read to

each other.”When teenagers we spent s u m m e r s

at Highlands, New York w i t h f r i e n d s

and there w as no entertainment After a walk to the village s to r e a b o u t

a mile down the dirt road, t h e r e w a s

nothing much to do. It was b e a u t i ­

ful country but no place to swim o r

bask in the sun, no television, n o

radio, nothing to do but sit under the trees. There were always p l e n t y o f

boys and girls visiting and we sa t

under the trees and read t o e a c h

other, sometimes a funny book O n e

1 remember was “ The Big B l o n d e

It was great f u n !

I wonder if any youngsters do that anymore or are they too buss \s ith the computer or internet.

When young you are so idealistic. You always thought that all you had to do to get rich was to get a job and presto, you would be rich. Little did we know that a teacher's s a l a r y

when my sister and I first started w a s

$ 1 2 0 0 a year. Imagine that!

My mother would laugh and show friends that my sister could not af­ford to buy shoes. Hers were so worn at the bottom, my mother liked to show them to people. It was never so when ms parents were getting them for her.

I remember one year when the town could not pay us and we were paid in script. There were some lo­cal merchants who bought the papet money from us to help the situation. Wannamakers store in New York (no longer there) also bought the script so that we were not totally without monev for our daily expenses. Luck­ily that lasted a short time.

Becton and Kim sent the St. M ary’ s G aels reeling as Kim re­turned a 65-yard punt for a touch­down and a 13-0 lead. The Cats

pulled ahead 19-0 when Japhus Johnson scored from the five . Johnson ran all over the Gaels de­fense gaining 149 yards on just six carries. Kim posted 184 all-pur­pose yards o f offense which in­cluded 64 rushing yards.

The Gaels attempted a fourth- quarter comeback scoring 12 un­answered points.

3-0! The smallest school in the South Bergen region is the only un­defeated football team after three weeks. The Wallington Panthers stymied the NA Vikings 37-7 and surprised previou sly unbeaten Lyndhurst 28-14.

The Panthers dismantled the V i­kin gs defense, led by Johan Rodriquez who rushed for 133 yards. The lopsided victory for Wallington was actually tied at 0- 0 after the 1st quarter and after Rodriquez opened the scoring for

the Panthers, the V ik in g s ’ Joe Burzinski returned the k ick o ff 75 yards for a 7-7 tie.

PR O C LA M A TIO NWHF.REAS, the United States is a coun­

try in which people of many different heri­tages are bond together by a common dedi­cation to democratic principles. The mo­saic of ethnic diversity invigorates our cul­ture and strengthens our society. For thli reason, the Polish American Congress and other Polish American Clubs and orgaai* zations across the country are celebrating October 1998 as Polish American Heritage Month.

WHEREAS, the millions of Americans who trace their ancestry to Poland have made vast contributions to our Nation. Tadeusz Rosciuszko and Ka/imierz Pulaski crossed the ocean to help the American Colonies win their independence. Through­out the last twt) centuries, thousands of Pol­ish Americans have fought bravely to help preserve that independence. Polish Ameri­cans have also made outstanding contribu­tions in the arts, the sciences, and in indus­try and agriculture. Through these efforts they have helped in innumerable ways to establish a strong and free Untied States.

WHEREAS, Americans of Polish descent take great pride in and honor two great world leaders who have their roots in Po­land. Both Pope John Paul II and Lech Walesa, the Nobel Peace Laureate and founder of the Solidarity Labor Federation« have gained the world's respect and admi­ration. Solidarity has been continuing the Polish people’s struggle for freedom since its founding in August 1980.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JAMES M. (iUII)A , Mayor of the Township of Lyndhurst, do hereby proclaim October 1998 at Polish American Heritage Month, imd I urge all Americans (o celebrate this month with appropriate observances.

Are reports o f economic crisis in Asia keeping you from considering foreign investments for your portfo­lio? While all foreign investments come with varying degrees o f risk, you can still find plenty o f attractive opportunities abroad. In fact, some m arkets in Europe and Latin America are doing well when mea­sured against the S & P 500. Might global investing be a good idea for you?Multiple Players in the W orld Eq­uity M arket

In 1970, publicly traded U.S. eq­uity securities represented two-thirds of the world's stock market capitali­zation. Ten years later, the US. per­centage had decreased to roughly 50%. And today, U.S. stock market capitalization represents approxi­mately 38% o f the world market * Clearly, foreign corporations are cre­ating the potential for significant investment opportunities within the world equity market.

In addition, including foreign se­curities in an equity portfolio offers investors the advantage o f double diversification by country and by in­

dustry. A study o f the world’ s equity markets showed that diversification into overseas markets over the last 10 years not only increased returns, but also reduced volatility.* The rea­son? The w orld ’ s equity market cycles do not move in tandem with each other.

O ne Way to Participate-C losed End C ountry Funds

N avigating through more than three dozen international equity markets to find value is not an easy task. But, closed end country funds can simplify that process. These pro­fessionally m anaged, d iversified portfolios can help investors partici­pate in some o f the world’ s most dy­namic economies, while reducing overall investment risk in potentially volatile foreign markets. In fact, in many cases, closed end country funds may be the only means o f entry into a particular foreign market.How Closed End Country Funds W ork

Unlike conventional, open-ended mutual funds that are priced based on net asset value** and can create

an infinite number o f new shares to meet buyer demand, closed end country funds go on the market as; initial public offerings with a fixed; number o f shares. Investors can then; buy and sell those shares on the stock* market, at a premium to N AV or a r discount below N A V. Prices are de­termined by the forces o f supply and* demand, in a manner sim ilar to- stocks and bonds. Closed end coun-; try funds, therefore, are a unique; blend o f common stocks and profes-; sionally managed investments.

Keep in mind that closed end coun-* try funds come with risks. You carC never completely protect your invest­ment against currency problems^ And, i f several major holdings fronv one country falter, the entire fund can suffer. However, when selected for­eign markets are doing well, returns on those country funds could be sig­nificant.

*Source: Morgan Stanley Capital International**NA V is calculated by dividing the total net assets held in the fund by the number o f shares outstanding.

If you are reaching the big “4-0 within the next 12 months, you re going to get a message from Social security. No, it won’ t be telling you it's time for you to retire. But it will give you information that will help >ou playi your financial future, in­cluding your retirement.

Like the rest o f the more than 30 million people in the 40-47 age group, you can expect to receive a

Person Earnings and Benefit Esti­mate Statement” from Social Secu- r|ty sometime between October 1. ^98 and March 3 1 , 1999. About

million statements will be mailed before December 15 , with the re­mainder mailed between January 15 and March 3 1 . (People in older age groups should have already received their statements).

The statement you receive will list, >car by year, the earnings you em­ployers ( or you, i f you’re self-em- Pl°yed ) have reported to Social Se­

curity. I f your records don’ t agree.please let Social Security know right away. The statement will also pro­vide you with estimates o f the So­cial Security benefits, under current law. that you and your family may be eligible for now and in the future. You 'll see that Social Security is more then just a program for retired people. It can provide you and your dependents benefits if you become severely disabled and help support your family when you die.

Beginning in October 1999, all workers ages 25 and older will re­ceive an annual statement o f the earnings that have been posted to their Social Security record, along with an estimate o f benefits they (and their family) may be eligible to receive. The statements will help workers make sure their earnings when they apply for Social Security

benefits.If you're between 40 and 47 years

o f age and don’ t receive a statement by March 3 1 , you can request one by contacting Social Security at this toll-free number 1-8 0 0 -7 72 -12 13 . Ask for form 7004 ( “ Request for Earnings and Benefit Estimate State­ment” ). Within 6 to 8 weeks after you complete and return the form, you can expect to receive your state­ment. You can get the information even faster by completing a form 7004 on Social Security’ s website, http://www.ssa.gov. your statement will be mailed to you in 2 to 3 weeks.

I f you have any questions about the information on your statement or about Social Security, call the toll- free number, 1-800-772-1213 . A f­ter October 1 ,19 9 8 , you can visit our new website at http://www.ssa.gov/ my statement. And by they way, if you’re wondering how Social Secu­rity got your address, it was fur­nished by the Internal Revenue Ser­vice.

thony J. Cassano, Chairman o f the Law & Public Safety Committee, has announced that the committee is about to conclude an interview pro­cess to select a law enforcement con­sultant to analyze the services pro­vided by Bergen County’ s three law enforcem ent agen cies: theProsecutor’ s Office, the S h e riffs
