Teen, mom’s boyfriend jailed in knife fight

An argument over 18-year-old Reuben Perez's slaying oul late and drinking Saturday night escatated into a knife fight between Perez ajul his mother's boyfriend, 43- year-old Lazaro Ferra of New Yoric C ity, according to Lyndhurst police.

Both suffered stab wounds in the altercation which broke out in tbe apartment of Marlene Perez at 291 Stuyvesant Ave. at 1:51 a.m.Sunday. The two were already stabbed but still wielding the 8- inch kitchen knives when patrol­

men Robert N ico l and John Ciiammetta responded.

Perez had puncture wounds to the chest area. Ferra incurred numerous lacerations to the face and scalp which required stitches. Perez also struck Ferra in the head with an iron, causing a head wound, police said.

The two were charged with aggravated assault. Follow ing treatment at Hackensack Medical Center, they were remanded to the Bergen County Jail and held in lieu of $15,000 bail each.

Attacker soughtLyndhurst police are looking for

help from anyone who was in the area o f Second and Livingston aves. about 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, February 14, when a 55-year-old township man was assaulted and critica lly injured outside his Columbia Courts apartment.

The man suffered numerous contusions and severe injuries about tbe chest, shoulders and head, according to Del. Lt. Janies O'Connor. He is semicomatose and unable to communicate, O'Connor said.

Missing is tbe man's white 1991 Pontiac Sunbird, license plate num­ber HEF25Z. Police believe that

wuuever beat the man also nas bis car, O ’Collnor said.

Police would not release the name of the victim or the hospital where he is being treated, apparent­ly fearing that this was not a ran­dom attack and tliat the assailant may be looking for him.

O'Connor said there have been unconfirmed reports that an indi­vidual was seen fleeing the scene, but there are no suspects.

"W e ’re looking for help from the neighbors,” O ’Connor said. "Anyone with information can call Det. Sgt. Paul Crupi at 804-2448. All information will be kept confi­dential."

By Margaret MyreThe elderly woman who died in

a house fire which her son and his friend have been accused of setting in a plot to murder her was proba­bly dead before the fire was discov­ered.

Neighbors of 72-year-old Natalie Scarpa have told The Leader they did not hear the woman screaming as has been widely reported in the daily press.

Neither did the upstairs tenants, Maria and Ivan Juricek and their three children, mention hearing screams from the woman when they talked to neighbors about the horror of that morning.

And a neighbor who entered the Scarpa apartment with M aria Juricek and discovered the fire reported hearing no sounds from within.

The recollections of Raquel G arc ia and her brother-in-law, Brian Madrid, who live next door to 414 Lewandowski Sl , contradict a statement from the Prosecutor’s O ffice which said the elderly woman’s screams alerted the ten­ants to the fire.

In a statement released the day of the arrests, the Prosecutor’s Office said the tenants Mbecame aware of the fire when they beard Mrs. Scarpa’s screams.” It also said that preliminary indications are that she died of smoke inhala­tion. Subsequent newspaper reports have stated that the elderly woman, who was crippled by rheumatoid arthritis, burned to death as she lay awake on a daybed in the living room.

The Prosecutor’s O ffice was closed for the holiday on Monday and could not be reached for com­ment, but other law enforcement sources told tbe Leader that the Prosecutor’s version was correct. The source said they had not yet learned whether the woman died from smoke inhalation or burns. He did say that a number of grue­some rumors regarding the manner of death were circulating about town but that none of them were true.

Garcia and Madrid said Ivan Juricek told them his wife discov­ered the fire in the first floor apart­ment when she went to investigate the source of smoke which was seeping into their upstairs bath­room.

“ Ivan never mentioned any screaming,” Garcia said. “ He just mentioned smoke coming into the bathroom.”

“The only screams I heard were from the woman on the second floor who was motioning to me from the door,” Madrid recalled.

The Juriceks are Czechoslovakian immigrants and Maria speaks little English, the neighbors said.

Madrid said he was outside warming up his van around 7:15 when a panicky M aria Juricek came out and gestured for him to help her. He said he followed her into the Scarpa apartment on the first floor where they found a fire in the kitchen and flames coming from a fully engulfed living room. Madrid said he heard no sounds from the apartment and thought no one was home. The charred remains of Natalie Scarpa were later found on the daybed.

Madrid followed Ju ricek upstairs and helped the parents remove the children from the house unharmed. Madrid brought them next door where they remained until living arrangements were made, he said. Maria and her old­est child were treated for smoke inhalation at the scene by the Lyndhurst Emergency Squad.

Thomas Scarpa, 41, and Thomas Bandelt, 39, of 750 Brisbin Ave., were arraigned before Superior Court Judge Syb il Moses in Hackensack on February 15. Assistant Prosecutor Sharyn Peiffer told Moses that the woman “died a hideous death.”

Scarpa and Bandelt had been arrested earlier that day and charged with murder and aggravat­ed arson following an around-ihe- clock investigation by the Prosecutor’s Office, Bergen County Sheriff’s Office, and Lyndhurst Police Department. Scarpa and

House is cordoned oft. Bandelt had become suspects almost immediately, officials said, when a Lyndhurst police officer overheard Bandelt reminding Scarpa to “ stick to the story.”

Scarpa, who lived with his mother at the residence for 38 years, enlisted Bandelt’s assistance in murdering his mother to keep her from having to enter a nursing home against her wishes, Fahy said. Fear of losing money from a recent sale of the home may also have been a motive, he said.

Authorities say Scarpa had argued with his siblings the day before the fire over their desire lo put their mother in a nursing home. He told Bandelt of his plight and the two hatched the plan.

Fahy said Scarpa arranged to go to a nearby diner about 6:30 a.m. and leave the door tu the huuse unlocked. He was at the diner when the fire was set. The fire was reported al 7:37 a.m.; Bandelt was at the scene before firemen arrived, Fahy said.

The fire was immediately classi­fied as arson when investigators entered the apartment and found three separate fires, in the kitchen,

bathroom and living room, near tbe day bed. Two gas burners in the kitchen had been turned on.

Madrid said be stood in tbe cold near Scarpa as they watched the blaze.

“ He kept saying, 1 hope she’s out’. He seemed worried,” Madrid said.

Bill Hibbits of Page Avenue was taking his daughter to soccer prac­tice when he spotted the smoke and saw people running from tbe front door.

“ A couple of firemfcn got there before the trucks and someone said 'There ’s someone in there',” Hibbits said. “One of tbe firemen went around back and started to open the door. The glass broke and flames started coming out. I didn’t hear any screams.”

Hibbits said he returned to the fire around 10:30 after dropping off his daughter. Scarpa was sitting in a police car, crying and dabbing his eyes.

“The other guy (Bandelt) turned around and said to me, 'Boy, what a shame’ ,” Hibbits said.

Scarpa has been described by some as a caring and devoted son who tended to his mother’s basic needs, even helping her to the bath­room.

His treatment o f his dog was quite different, however. On January 8, he was charged with failure to provide food, water, shel­ter and veterinary care for his German Shepherd. According to police reports, the dog was found tied in the yard in an emaciated condition and barely able to walk. The Bergen County Animal Shelter look the dog.

Bandelt, who has no prior record, is married and has a five- year-old daughter. He was hired three months ago by Benedict M ille r in Lyndhurst as a sales trainee.

Scarpa had been employed the past 18 months as a mechanic for Professional Recyclers in Lyndhurst

Scarpa and Bandelt are being held at Bergen County Ja il in Hackensack on $750,000 bail each.

Amendine the Golden Rules

Schools get ‘no weapons’ policyBy Margaret Myre

Don’t-even think about it That's the message the

Lyndhurst Board of Education sent to students last week when it unani­mously adopted tbe district’s first official policy against carrying a weapon to school. The policy also

bans unauthorized beepers.The weapons policy was created

as a deterrent, not to meet any immediate need, school sources said.

In a report to the school board on October 12, Lyndhurst High School Principal James Corino

warned the members that although the schools do not have a problem with weapons or violence now, “ there are elements out there that sooner or later will infiltrate the school community.” He urged the board to establish a community- wide program to deter violence

before it slam. Corino is a mem­ber of the Bergen County Task Force on Youth Violence.

The new policy, entitled Weapons and Dangerous Instruments, prohibits the posses­sion or use of weapons or other such instruments on school proper­ty, at any school function, or while enroute to or from school or any school function.

Police will be notified if a stu­dent violates the policy, and a vio­lence report w ill be filed. The school itself will take appropriate disciplinary action, including possi­ble suspension and expulsion

The policy makes it a disorderly persons offense to carry a beeper without permission on property used for school purposes. A stu­dent who wishes lo bring a remote­ly activated paging device onto property used for school purposes must petition ihe board in writing lo show a reasonable basis for the request

On the firing line with Ace the RatBy Jack O ’Shea

Ace “The Rat” Duffy, recently paroled after 5 years in state prison for bank robbery, had mellowed and was not as angry as usual at politi­cians who are guilty of excessive government spending.

He showed this new tolerance when he said he believed that it would be wrong to hang the county Executive and the Freeholders and bury them in the Kingsland dump for giving 4.5 to 10 percent pay raises to high-salaried county gov­ernment officials after promising cost-cutting for the past year.

O f course, Ace, I agreed. Vigilante violence is always wrong.

“Nah, I don’t mean that. I mean the toxic gases from the bodies would leach out and poison lotsa innocent people in south Bergen.”

You’re just mad because the Sheriff is getting about a ten percent raise and you hate cops because they’ve sent you on vacation too many times.

“Of course I hate cops. Who likes them? They don’t even like theirselfs. Mostly I hate politicians, though. But I like this here

Governor Whitman.”I ’m sure she’d be flattered by

your regard, Ace.“ I guess so. I like her because

she won’t give state officials makin’ more than 80 big ones a year a raise so as to help the tax­payers that don’t even make half that. Hey, if yuh can’t survive and salt a little away fer the nursin’ home on 80 G ’s there’s maybe somethin’ wrong wit’ yah and yuh shoon’t be feedin’ at the public trough.

“Plus those big shots get health benefits and pensions and every­body is nice to them.”

I can understand your frustra­tion, Act. But you can’t hold good people in public service without paying them fat salaries or they’ll quit and get better jobs in the pri­vate sector.

“ Let them try. I ain’t seen one

take his-or her-front paws outta the trough yet. All they do is talk about how they’re givin* up a fortune in private business to be in public ser­vice.”

Ace, I respect your indignation. But you don’t exactly understand politics.

“ Sure I do. Politics is when yah say one thing and mean another. And yah thank God the public has a short memory and pray that it gets stoopider.”

I ’m afraid your years as a guest of the state in Trenton have embit­tered you, Ace.

“ Nah, I figger I come out ahead. I take big risks. I work at night in unheated buildings. That’s the downside. I ’ve made a few mis­takes. So there falls and fifteen years against me but over the long run I guess I ’ve made about 100 big ones a year and kept most of it, hah- hah. And I ’m my own boss.”

You’re an entrepreneur, all right.“Hey, I make out and I ain’t like

most politicians. If I line up some guys to help me relieve an institu­tion of the burden of wealth and I promise them 20 percent each, I keep that promise. I ’m honest that way. Or else maybe I ’m in the land­fill.

“ Anyway, I been in and outta the slammer and y’know, I found more honestness among guys on the inside than among guys who get elected to public office.”

So you admire honesty?“Hell no. I don’t admire it. I use

it. Like it was nitro or a piece. That’s what honestness is there for- -to be used. Hey, even a crook can be honest some time. But with politicians yah take yer chances every day.”

Ace, you’re incorrigible.“Hey, I done my time and paid

my dues. I ’m jus’ as good as you and better than some I can think3f.”

Lyndhurst schools earn $30K reward

The Lyndhurst public school d istrict expects to receive a $30,000 gift from the state in the next school year.

The bonus income would come as a state reward to K-12 grade school districts whose 1994-9S administrative budgets were below

King for a dayMost people who retire get a

wristwatch. When Tony Maffei retired from his job, he got a whole day named for him.

Lyndhurst Mayor Louis Stellato and the township commissioners declared Thursday, February 9, “Anthony Maffei Day” in recogni­tion of his 10 years as full-time dri­ver of the township's senior citi­zens' bus.

A party was held in bis honor at the Roma Restaurant in North Arlington, and Commissioner Evelyn Pezzolla presented Maffei a gift from the members of the Parks

Department and other township employees.

Since his retirement, the bus is being driven by Parks Department employees. According to the Parks Department, two part-time drivers will be hired to replace him.

A survey is now underway by the Parks Department to see if the Senior Bus is needed for Saturday service. Riders of the Senior Bus should contact the Parks Department at 804-2482 with their comments regarding Saturday bus service.

Recycling updateThe township of Lyndhurst's

recycling drop-off site located at Polito and Valley Brook avenues is open on designated Saturdays for plastics, junk mail and magazines only. Check your recycling calen­dar for specific dates.

The Department o f Public Works asks that no recyclables be

left at the gate on alternate days when D PW employees are not pre­sent. Disregarding this request will result in the closing of this facility as this practice has been creating a health hazard as well as an unsight­ly mess. The D PW wishes to thank all township residents for their cooperation.

By M argaret Myre There are three things the newly

appointed principal at Jefferson Schonyn Lyndhurst wants parents to know. He won’t tolerate bully­ing, he will provide the very best education possible, and be is going to maintain discipline.

Last week, Richard Vartan, a veteran educator, guidance coun­selor and athletic coach, told the parents at the first PTA meeting since bis appointment that he believes in the adage of the iron fist in the velvet glove, known 'oday as “tough love.”

He characterized his relation­

ship with his students this way: “ I ’m not their friend. I'm not their buddy. I'm not their pal. I'm their principal."

He encouraged parents to teach ethics, values and morals at home, calling it their responsibility, not the school’s.

Vartan said the most important thing parents can do for their chil­dren is to let them grow up.

“ Don't try to build a bubble around them," he said, “ because when they gel to high school they’ll get eaten up.” By that he said he means allowing them to

Tell it to the judgeFour Lyndhurst police officers

testified to their activities on September 17 after a Mountain Way woman called with a com­plaint about her ex-husband. She told a dispatcher that the man, who now lives in New York, would be returning their son after a day’s vis­itation, but that a restraining order to keep him away from the house was still in effect. She also said he may be carrying a gun.

The man, an executive in a securities firm, had taken the child to the zoo. He told the court he returned with the child to find Lyndhurst police waiting for him. A search ensued and turned up nothing.

The man said this was getting to be a habit. He said he’s gotten used to being searched and arrested when he visits his son. He was in court last week to file a cross-com- plaint of harassment against his ex- wife, saying that she had filed a total of four complaints against him in Bergen and Monmouth counties which were either withdrawn or dismissed after a hearing.

She told the court that after a vacation in Canada, she was told by her ex-husband on September 3 that he’d kill her if she ever took the boy out of the country again. The man said he never said any such thing. He denied owning a gun.

Pity the poor officers caught in the cross-fire. Municipal Court

TroopCash-o-La

Troop 952 of Lyndhurst will be collecting Burger King receipts outside Burger King on Thursday, February 23, between 5 and 8 p.m. Profits will go to the troop fund.

Judge James Breslin made sure they were not left with egg on their faces.

“ In this day and age, when a woman calls and mentions some­thing about a weapon, bells go off and all cars are sent out on the road, and rightfully so,” he said for the record.

He also found both of the com­plaining parties not guilty of their former spouse’s charges.

***In another case, Lyndhurst resi­

dent Larry Champion pled guilty to disorderly conduct on November 9 after refusing an officer’s demand that he move on. Another charge of obstructing justice was dis­missed on a motion from the prose­cutor.

***A Halloween disturbance which

pitted a group of young Lyndhurst men against three Lyndhurst police officers and led to the filing of charges all around, was settled when patrolmen Scott Hild and Christopher Valiante withdrew their disorderly persons complaints against civilians Scott Dries and Edward Sinnett. A second charge of obstruction against Sinnett also was dropped. Assault charges brought by the civilians against retired patrolman Thomas Graffam, Valiante and Ptl. Mark Butler by Dries, Sinnett and Larry Champion had been withdrawn earlier in Moonachie Municipal Court.

Richard Vartan

handle their own disputes and take their little bumps.

Since becoming principal in January, Vartan said a number of mothers have come to him toresolve their children’s fights. While he won’t tolerate bullying, he said he thinks parents should stay out of their children’s fights as a general rule.

To help resolve differences among the children, Vartan said he hopes to initiate a mediation sys­tem to complement or replace the current Core Values program in the school.

Under the new program, sixth, seventh and eighth grade volun­teers would be trained by a profes­sional to mediate disagreements between children in the K to 8 school. Excised from the program would be problems involving vio­lence. drugs or alcohol. Vartan said the system works well in other districts and invited parents to review the program now at work in the Belleville school system.

Regarding disputes, Vartan said he has found that girls are the worst perpetrators. Boys, he said, will disagree, maybe throw a few punches, then walk away friends; but girls, he said, tend to “ carry on vendettas.” Two women in the audience were heard to mutter, “ So do women ”

MrTMsTMra

University in Philadelphia wilh an M.A. in Religious Education. She bolds a Graduate Certificate in Youth Ministry as well.

Throughout her Career, Braden- Whartenby has designed and run a Peace Camp for 9- and 10-year- olds which focuses on self-esteem and conflict resolution skills. She started two local chapters of Pax Christi, an international Catholic Justice and Peace movement. She traveled to Nicaragua in 1985 with “ Witness for Peace," a biblically- based ecumenical peace and justice organization.

Braden-Whartenby credits Sacred Heart School for preparing her to meet the responsibilities of adult life.

“Catholic education is the foun­dation of my life in living out the gospel values of hope, reconcilia­tion, justice, generosity and uncon­ditional love of God, values desper­ately needed by our world today.”

N CEA established the award to highlight people who as adults put into practice the values and ideals they learned in their Catholic ele­mentary schools, according lo Dr. Robert Kealey, executive director of N C EA 's Department of Elementary Schools, the award’s sponsor.

The first Distinguished Graduate Awards were presented in 1991. Previous winners from Sacred Heart were Anna Navatta, Esq., in 1991; Patricia Pavlica in 1992; Sr. Carol Dempsey, O.P., in 1993; and Robert Nazare in 1994.

Braden-Whartenby is the daugh­ter of Lorraine and Ed Braden. Her husband. B i l l Whartenby, is an expeditor for an envelope printing company.

rick addressed the students at St. Mary’s High School in Rutherford during Catholic Schools Week and later met wilh a small group of stu­dents to discuss their fears and hopes for today and the future.

Principal Mary Lanni welcomed the vicar of the Newark Archdiocese to the school. The stu­dents entertained him with a pre­sentation of prayer and song.

McCarrick emphasized for the students the importance of a Catholic education. He told them how special they are and why each of them should use their unique gifts and talents.

Weber goes to WashingtonCody Weber, a junior at Queen

of Peace High School in North Arlington, has been selected lo attend the National Young Leaders Conference which is going on this week in Washington, D.C.

The Conference is a leadership development program for high school students who have demon­strated leadership potential and scholastic merit. Weber will be among 350 outstanding National Scholars attending the conference from across America.

The theme of this year’s confer­ence is “The Leaders of Tomorrow Meeting the Leaders of Today.” Throughout the six-day conference, the scholars will interact with key leaders and newsmakers from the

three branches of government, the media and the diplomatic corps. They will visit foreign embassies and receive policy briefings from senior government officials. They will also be given the opportunity to meet with New Jersey’s repre­sentatives in Washington.

“The conference provides the opportunity for students like Cody to distinguish themselves as tomor­row’s leaders,” said John Hines, executive director of the Congressional Youth Leadership Council, which sponsors the event.

Weber lives in Kearny with his aunt, Joan M. Radford, and his sis­ters, Cheyenne and Jodilee. He is the son of the late Margaret and Leonard Weber.

Lorraine Kucinski of Bellemead Management.

“ Bellemead does a beautiful job of landscaping the buildings they manage in Lyndhurst, but every spring they throw out the hundreds

of bulbs planted the previous fall,” Boze explained.

“ I called Lorraine and suggested that if she would donate the bulbs to the Lyndhurst schools, Bellemead might be able lo take a tax deduction.”

In granting the request, Kucinski said Bellemead is more

interested in being good neighbors than in any tax deduction they may earn.

Boze said he feels this is just a

small example of th<5 mutual bene­fits which can come from coopera­tion between the schools and local businesses.

“There is so much more that can be done, from other donations to cooperative purchasing arrange­ments.”

The bulbs will be planted in the fall by the Lyndhurst C iv ic Enhancement Committee.

Book raffle at libraryFriends of the Lyndhurst Library

is sponsoring a book raffle in both the Adult and Children’s depart­ments, with the winning entries to be drawn at the Friends’ meeting on March 8 at 7:30 p.m. in the Library.

She w ill discuss the research for her next book bbout the nurses abandoned #n Bataan when Douglas Mac Arthur and the American troops left the Philippines.

R e a d e r ’s F orumTrustee interprets meeting differently

Dear EditorThis past week I invested 1 1/2

hours discussing the N.A. School District's building project with a Record reporter. This earned me two innocuous blurbs at the end of one article and one at the end or a second. However, what really irks me is the way a meeting, held at borough ball on 2/16/95, was por­trayed.

The Record article, “ N .J. Specialist to Examine Over-Budget School Costs.” reported that N.A.’s Mayor Leonard Kaiser had indicat­ed that Carl Letterie, or the State Department oT Education's Facility and Planning Division, had “ asked to review plans detailing the expan­sions and renovations or two ele­mentary schools included in the (N.A.'s School District) project.” I also attended that meeting and this was certain ly N O T S A ID . Mr. Letterie rather casually offered to contact Design Collaborative (our architect) and ask that the most recent renderings of the project be sent lo his attention. His suggestion was more of a move to placate than to suggest a judgemental approach. Mr. Letterie never inferred any impropriety and was S U P R E M E ­LY N EU T R A L .

Also, there was absolutely no mention made by Mr. Letterie that he will “ take a look at where the board is now, and either take juris­diction, or let us know it’s not his jurisdiction" at that meeting.

Mr. Letterie did speak of how often such overruns do occur, cit ing several school districts having experienced much the same prob­lems as have occurred in North Arlington.

Inmates should ante upDear Editor

In life, one does not have to invent the telephone, the computer or the cotton gin to attain his place in history. More often, it’s enough to build that “better mousetrap.”

It may be that Jack Terhune, the sheriff of Bergen County, has come up with his contribution to the bet­ter mousetrap hall of fame. He announced that county inmates residing in the Bergen County Jail in Hackensack will henceforth be charged co-payments for many medical services. Starting January 2, the county commenced a $10 fee for most doctor and dental visits and $2 as a prescription handling fee. It w ill yield income to the county coffers. It wilf also discour­age frivolous calls for doctors which are motivated by a desire to break the boredom of a day in the life of a resident of the county jail.

When one appreciates that it costs $20,000 for a year of domicil­ing a prisoner, it becomes apparent that cost cutting has to be achieved. I have dear friends who are employed by county and state gov­ernment and they don’t do as well as the guys housed in our county bastille. Jack Terhune is reaching

Teachers’ rep called off the mark

INTACT, 100% OF THE INSTRUCTIONAL SPACE WAS TO BE PROVIDED!

I ’ve devoted much of my time these past 10 months lo researching construction modes, hammering out contracts, choosing materials - and learning as much about the dis­trict’s building project as I could. Let’s face it, three of the buildings date back to the Hoover Administration, while tbe Roosevelt School is impossibly undersized.

Now, although I have never agreed that the Board should have elected to continue to have worked with the architect, I cannot fault their decision to work toward bringing in as much of the entire project as possible.

And, although I felt, and still feel, the municipality should have been kept aware of the project’s progress, if for no other reason than common courtesy, I cannot help but think that even an individual who had given the matter only a cursory glance, had to see that $7.7 million (to fund new construction and extensive renovations on four buildings) was never going to work, and at best could only afford us a “band-aid.”

Finally, I do not appreciate the inference that I, or my fellow board members, have engaged in any­thing that is illegal, inappropriate or even midly questionable. Any “ third party” who were lo “review" our efforts, bent on finding some wrongdoing, will be very disap­pointed.

that Jack Terhune has kicked off. How about the “rags” the prisoners wear? We could set up a liule K- Man in the joint and really get into the merchandising arena.

Nevertheless, I think Jack Teihune has opened up all kinds of opportunities for economical good government. He should continue to ignore the opinions o f the legal boys as to whether we can do this or that. Just do it. It's easy to go along with the fiat accompli.

Interestingly, Gov. George Palaki of New York has said he’d like to explore the concept that Terhune is using in Bergen County. And we are all mindful that imita­tion is the since rest form of flattery. I think we should all agree that it w ill be a great day when every prisoner, upon entering his new home, is asked: What w ill it be while you are with us, cash, V ISA or MasterCard?"

Dear EditorThis is in response to the com­

ment in the Feb. 9 Leader criticiz­ing the Board of Education's lead­ership on the building project.

When the bids on the project came in over the cost projections generated by the architect, the board was faced with a very lough decision. Should we blame the problems on a previous board and scrap the project? Should we ask the public for even more money? Or should we complete as much of the project as possible using resources available to the board?

In deliberating on this matter, the board took into account that our buildings are badly outdated: enrollments are rising: special needs cannot be fully met; teaching eighth grade in the high school makes less sense today than ever; and recreation and community uses are increasing. In short, every con­dition that lead to the inception of the building project is more press­ing than ever. At the same time, the board recognized that North Arlington is very much a commu­nity of people on fixed or modest incomes.

W ith all of this in mind, the board came to the conclusion that the best course is to complete as

Such a parallel between school superintendents and Nazi war criminals is clear­ly out of bounds and totally unreasonable. I t escalates the alleged crim es of the accused to a p ro p o r tio n that is out of the realm of

much of the project as possible using available resources. We chose lo focus on the main ele­ments of the project. Several less critical items were deferred. Unecessary amenities were dropped. Financing for the project w ill come from the bond issue, interest on the bond issue, surplus­es generated by various cost sav­ings over the past several years and the lease/purchase of some items.

Since the decision was made lo proceed, the board has never wavered from its course and worked hard to achieve its goal - a goal that is now within reach. Each board member has contributed lo trying lo make this project a suc­cess. The level of cooperation among the board members is par­ticularly noteworthy when one con­siders that we have been on differ­ent sides in past school board elec­tions.

In terms of communication, Ihe project has been the subject of dis­cussion at every public board meet­ing for the past several years; a per­sonal presentation has been given to each elementary school parent- teachcr group at least once since September 1994; a lengthy hoard commentary on the project appeared in Ihe Leader in

P eop le , especia lly law ­yers, should be more care­ful with the ir words, espe­cially the accusations tha t can tarnish another’s repu­ta t io n . We d o n ’t need im ages o f N azis to d e te r­m ine w h a t h a p p e n e d in Lyndhurst, ju s t as we don’t need a lot o f o ther hyper­bole to resolve o ther con­flicts.

September; board members have spoken freely with the press about the project and its problems; and the board sent a five-page letter explaining the status of the project to the municipal government on December 1 ,1994. Nevertheless, to make sure that the public is aware of the project’s status, the board is sending a newsletter to every household in town that will arrive by early March.

The board is holding a public meeting about the project on April 3. Additionally, there are board meetings on February 27 (Washington School), March 13 (High School), March 20 (Wilson School), and April 10 (High School) where the project will be discussed and questions can be directed to the board.

In summary, the board has maintained a steadfast course in the face of adversity, worked hard to fix the problem rather than fix the blame, and put aside past personal differences to improve Ihe schools so that North Arlington’s children are prepared for the challenges of the future. I am proud of this brand of leadership.

Councilman Nangle’s comments on the Merli case at the February 7 Council meeting.

The Councilman said, in part: “Those former mayors and council- men who used this unfortunate sit­uation for partisan political advan­tage by denying the truth of the allegations without any basis owe more than one apology."

Mayor Kaiser suggesting that the N.A. School Board had in his opin­ion engaged in anything “ illegal," yet the Record article read, “Kaiser is leaning toward hiring an attorney to assist in the review of what’s going on, what it’s going to cost, and how it’s going to be accom­plished." A couple of hurtful snide remarks perhaps, but nothing that hinted of a darker theme.

At that meeting Ihe school board members provided the mayor with a budgetary spreadsheet providing a complete overview of the dis­trict's financing of the project, as well as a copy of our recently final­ized newsletter. The newsletter pro­vides summary sheets which clear­ly depict Ihe scope of the work at each of the four school buildings. Once again we stated that we will provide 9S% of the proposed pro­ject, having eliminated only an entrance canopy, ceramic tiles in the new lavatories and terrazzo floors in the building's foyers.

Ten months ago, when I was elected to the Board, they were already in the process of working to retain as much of the original proposed project as possible. They could have simply applied the S7.7 m illion referendum funding to whatever it would buy, but instead the Board took upon themselves the monumental task of delivering AS M UCH O F TH E PROPOSED AND D ESPER A T ELY N EED ED P R O JE C T as could possibly be achieved. They had determined lhat any cost overruns would be funded by the district's surplus, generated from interest on bond proceeds, and if necessary, a lease/purchase over a three year period.

out lo cut costs that are not mandat­ed by the stale, lie has no control over mandated items. In short, he’s reining in on anything that’s rein- able.

I ’m told that the governmental legal eagles were dubious whether the sheriff could charge Ihe prison­ers. Terhune’s contention was, however, that Ihe courts said med­ical treatment must be provided — but they didn't say who had to pay for it. W hy not encourage the hoys in ihe jug to be good citizens and chip in their proper share like thee and me? Makes sense to me.

As a matter of fact, I think we should see just how far we can carry this good thing while we're on a roll and before some mischie­vous judge tries to establish his claim lo omniscience by upsetting the apple cart.

Heck, all those W all Street maneuverers and John Gotti and friends have to pay rent wherever they are residing at the moment. Why not tell them they've got lo ante up for room and board if they insist on committing unsocial acts and wind up behind bars? What's so illogical about that? There may be no end to this taxpayer bonanza

took the time to quote your title ( “Unprofessional teacher reps” ) she seems to have forgotten something that she should have been taught in high school: The title of an essay usually introduces the essay's sub­ject.

Since I was one of the former mayors and councitmen who criti­cized the Council's handling of this mailer, I find it outrageous that he feels I owe an apology for this crit­icism, especially since I was proven correct.

A new chapter on Zeus, the ‘wonder dog’

VagabondingI n ( Ilill'IcilU S ; i \ i l io

I thought I told you too many stories about my sister’s pet Irish setter but my brother told me these incidents and I could not resist relating them to you.

Getting back to the Zeus Saga, or “ the most astounding dog of the decade.” Our entire family loved Zeus. If someone didn’t, he was sure to make the person like him.

A bungler he was! Did he love to eat? You bet! Did he love to grab live chickens off people’s yards? Yes, but be never hurt one. Was he absolutely fearless? He was and demonstrated that on many occasions.

One of my brothers was devoted to Zeus and the feeling was like­wise. Brother describes one event in Zeus’ bringing-up which bears retelling. H ighway #3 was just being built and a huge section of it, leading to the Berry’s Creek bridge, left off being finished right at the creek. The concrete was several feet higher than the creek bed and my brother would take the young boisterous dog out onto the one mile of concrete which ran right between the gigantic meadows.

Wild life abounded and that was the scene until industry took over.

Zeus used to cavort on the long stretch of concrete to his heart’s content. One day on his usual romp, he kicked up a beautiful-col­ored pheasant cockbird which he began to chase. The smart bird, in a teasing mood no doubt, stayed just high enough above him. It made for a really angry Zeus. The chase continued toward Berry’s Creek where the road ended. The creek below, at low tide, was soft and oozy.

The end of the road appeared and the clever pheasant kept flying right over the creek with Zeus two jaw chops behind. At the right moment, the road ended and Zeus was still catapulting in a horizontal line with all four legs flailing in the air, trying to find something solid. He hit the muck and disappeared. He came up gasping and tried to shake-off close to brother who gave Zeus a push right into the this-time deep water. Zeus emerged and began to gallop toward his dis­appearing keeper.

You can’t win! First they tell us that athletes no longer are given steaks to keep them in trim. Pasta is the new idea. But that did not last long. Now we are told that pasta is not good for you. It is fattening and bad for the heart

I always remember the girl who told me that her relatives, who had a family of 13 children, ate pasta every day. I could not believe it. How could they?

Just recently I learned that pasta can be used with all sorts of veg­etables. I always thought that the only way it was eaten was with a tomato sauce with meatballs or chicken. When there was no meat, my mother sliced hard-cooked eggs over the top.

I felt sorry for the family that had it every day. Now I hear that one day it is used with broccoli, the next with peas, etc., each day with a different vegetable. It is used in place of potatoes. Some families never have potatoes. They have pasta instead.

If you go over the list of foods that are not good for you as listed lately, you wonder what is good for you.

There was a time when our fam­ily had bacon and eggs for break­fast practically every day. Now we scarcely ever see a sunny-side-up egg. We use egg beaters. They are good.

If you listen to all the restric­tions on food, you will seriously wonder what to eat to keep your strength.

When we were youngsters, we never worried about walking in the snow. No matter how high it was, we plowed right through it. We never sat around worrying about what the weather was to be lo wear the proper clothes. We never lis­tened avidly to weather reports. There were none. We just went out into it and if it was cold, we accept­ed it. We never knew that it was above or below freezing o f 32 degrees. We just enjoyed it as it was.

Now we don’t venture out of the house if we don’t know what the temperature is for the day. Perhaps it is a good thing so that we dress accordingly. But wasn’t it more fun to be a surprise. In those days, we wore the same coat no matter what the weather. We may have worn a sweater or two beneath, but other than that, there was no change in the attire.

The first time I went to Florida at Christmas time, cars did not have heat. You started out in a fur or wool coat, with a suil under that and a sweater or blouse beneath. As you rode along in the car with your legs covered with boots and a blan­ket, you discarded something each day until you arrived in Florida in a skirt and blouse and as soon as pos­sible, you put on a bathing suit and were on the beach, happy to be reading the paper about snow storms up north.

Now most people fly to Florida so they don’t experience the shed­ding experience. They also have

heated cars. One does not need all the clothes. But it was fun, anyway.

* * *While I was still at school, I

worked for the Newark Evening News, no longer a paper, covering social items. One column included personal social events, others were weddings and club meetings.

For this work I got 25 cents an inch. Naturally I tried to get as many inches as possible.

The first copy I sent in was sev­eral weddings which had to be in Friday before the event. I started by saying the bride looked beautiful walking down the aisle on the arm of her father. I described every dress of the bridesmaids, using as many adjectives as I could muster up. The boss, Mr. Shields, a Fine ge ntleman who lived in North Arlington, called to tell me that

every bride looked beautiful and to skip the adjectives, just give the bare facts. That seriously curtailed the length of a wedding.

I spent my afternoons after school calling people for reports of meetings and a report on where they went. I f I saw a person going down the street carrying a suitcase, I knew that she was vacationing somewhere and hastened to find out where. They did not have to go to a foreign country for me to write about it. Even if they went to Coney Island, I reported it.

Unfortunately, .they did away wilh that column, but the weddings and club meetings continued for awhile longer.

It was a unique way of earning money but I enjoyed it. The inches were measured for me to receive pay.

The Lyndhurst Water Department reports that the maximum contaminant level for coliform bacteria in the drinking water was exceeded for a month ot January 1994 and May 1994.Bacteria in the environ­ment are generally not harmful. The presence of this bacteria usually is a result of a problem with water treatment or the pipes which distribute the water, and indicates that the water may be contami­nated with organisms that can cause disease Disease systoms may include diarrhea, cramps, nausea, and possibly jaundice, and any associ­ated headaches and fatigue. These systoms, however, are not just associated with disease-

causing organisms m drinking water, but also may be caused by a num­ber of factors other than your drinking water. EPA has set an enforceable drinking water standard for total coliforms to reduce the risk of these adverse health effects. Under this standard, no more than 5 0 percent of the samples collected during a month can contain these bacte­ria, except that systems collecting fewer than 40 samples/month that havo one total coliform-positive sample per month are not violating the standard Drinking water which meets this standard is usually not associated with a health risk from dis­ease-causing bacteria and should be considered safeContinued testing of our water system shows no

contamination to our water supply.It is also noted thet although 24 samples per month or 288 samples per year are required, the month of January was short 12 samples due to the severe winter weather we experienced last year. Since these positive sam­ples were taken, additional laboratory testing was positive samples were taSfen, additional laborato­ry testing was performed in response to the exceed­ing coliform standard and has shown the water is safe to drink.If any additional informa­tion is requested, please contact Doug Adamo, Lyndhurst's Water Rurveyor.et 438-5520.

SPORTSWORLD: Gaels miss out on finalBy Charles O’Reilly

Three weeks ago, the Si. Mary’s girls' basketball team had never won a game in the history of tbe Bergen County Women Coaches Association tournament.

Last week, they had advanced as far as the semifinals.

When you keep that in mind, Gaels coach Rob Stern says, the fact that the team lost Sunday's ' tournament game becomes a bit more palatable.

“There arc a lot of teams that wish the^ were playing today,” Stem said after his Gaels fell to the Academy of the Holy Angels, 52- 38, at Ramapo College.

St. M ary 's (18-4) missed a three-point goal and a following layup in the first 30 seconds. They proceeded to go scoreless for another seven minutes while Holy Angels (19-4) built a 15-0 lead.

Kim Tedesco finally snapped the dry spell with a three-pointer,

but the Angels ran their margin to 27-10 by the end of tbe half.

The Gaels were trying to work the ball inside for easy shots, only to have them swatted away on a regular basis by Alison Higgins, the Angels* 6’3” center.

“ I w ish I had an answ er fo r you,” Stern said. “Our game plan w as to a ttack from the outside. T hat’s what got us to this point. Usually, our inside game is about nineteen feet from the basket.’’

Sen ior cap tain T ina Tedesco finally decided to try to take charge in the second half. She scored all21 o f her team-high points after the intermission.

Even so, the Gaels were power­less to stop Higgins from working inside for easy shots. She finished with 32 points, making 14 of 22 tries and adding four free throws. She also blocked eight shots on the opposite end.

Stem planned to put his charges right back to work Monday.

“W e have a tough gam e Tuesday night against Cresskill, and we have to get ready for the states. We can’t sit and sulk.”

COIN TOSS GOES BEA R S’ W AY: In the e ig h t years Sco t Weaver has been at Lyndhurst, his Golden Bear wrestling team had never defeated Emerson Borough.

The skein ended Tuesday night in Emerson. Joe Montillo’s pin of Mike Falkenstern at 215 pounds clinched the Bears’ 36-33 defeat of Emerson/Park R idgeJn the NJSI­AA Group 2, North Section 1 tour­nament.

“We won the pre-m atch coin toss, and that allowed us to move

wrestlers like Montillo into posi­tion,” Weaver said.

The toss determines which team must send a wrestler to the mat first in each weight class.

Lyndhurst would not have need­ed M ontillo’s heroics if not for a stunning reversal by E m erson’s Jason Mulhem at 172 pounds.

Freshman Joe Cutruzzulla o f the Bears had a 14-6 advantage with 1:30 rem aining in the bout, but Mulhem reversed Cutruzzulla and p inned him at 4:50, g iv ing the Cavaliers a 27-24 match lead.

Drew Peters extended the mar­gin to 33-24 with his pin of Bill T se rpes, but the C avos had no wrestler ready at the heavyweight class. As a result, Montillo needed only a decision over Falkenstern to force a tie.

Under the rules, had the match ended in a draw, the first criterion fo r tournam ent advancem ent is bou t v ic to rie s . A d ecision by M on tillo w ould have given Lyndhurst a 7-6 advantage.

E arlie r in the m atch , M ike S e ttem brino (100) p inned C.J. Foster with nine seconds left in the second period, and Tony DiMaggio (112) put Rich Solimando on his back in 38 seconds.

Also, Don Pritzlaff (134) posted a techn ica l fa ll again st M att Borella; Gregg Settembrino (142) decisioned Tom M ulhern, 10-4; and Dave Bautis (160) scored a 16- 5 m ajor d ecision ag a in st Jared Golub.

Lyndhurst advanced to the sec­tional semifinal, but was defeated by Kittatinny Regional, 48-18.

The southern part of the slate d om ina ted the cham pionsh ip rounds in Group 2, with Voorhees besting Buena, 40-21, in the final. K ittatinny finished fourth in thestate.

Midway through regular season play in the Pascack Valley Indoor Soccer League, Rutherford’s Under-16 traveling team is in first place in D ivis ion 2, while the Under-10’s remain in second place in Division 5.

A road trip to Hackensack on Feb. 11 yielded a win, a tie and two losses for the Rutherford road war­riors.

Division 2 (Under 16) - Tops he If

Coach Rick Ayala’s team hung onto first place, despite a tie with Hackensack, 3-3, on Feb. 11.

It was a closely fought, very physical match, with Rutherford scoring once in the first half (Ralph Lauro), and Hackensack respond­ing with two. In the second half, Hackensack got another goal, but Rutherford's Michael Hoffmann and Chris Augustynowicz added two more to knot the score.

The seniors’ overall record is 4- 1-1 for the season.

Division 3 (Under 14) - Montemurao and Langer

Coach A lec Alexiades’ team struck first on a John Augustynowicz goal and played Hackensack evenly in the first half. The score was 2-1 at the half.

But the second stanza was all Hackensack. With three regular Rutherford defenders out of the game, Hackensack scored three quick goals and blew Rutherford out. Final score was 6-1, M & L ’s worst performance of the season.

Division 4 (Under 12) - Mama Rosa Pizzeria

The results were equally disap­

pointing for Coach Doug Tanzosh’s squad, who went down to defeat, 5- 1. Brad Ersalesi’s lone goal for Rutherford came late in the game.

Division 5 (Under 10) - Desmar

Coach Ken Kolich’s team held o ff a la te-gam e surge by H ackensack to w in, 3-2. The juniors remain in second place in

D ivision 2, behind W ood-Ridge, with a 4-1 overall record.

Rutherford’s Greg Vogel opened the scoring with a header midway through the first half. Hackensack answered quickly, and the teams were knotted 1-1 at the half.

Vogel cam e out gunning and scored another one in the first min­utes of the second half. Then John Parnofiello kicked in a centering pass from Vogel to make the score3 -1. The two strikers connected on several more passes, which came very close, but failed to go in.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the court, Hackensack penetrated the defense lo make the score 3-2. ’ U nder in tense p ressu re from Hackensack, goalie Brian Samuels make several key saves late in the gam e to p re se rv e the w in. Determined efforts by Joe Cirrilla and M att Cahill on defense also contributed significantly to the vic­tory.

Although 1995 expenses have been reduced by $526,144 (3.1»). The Mayor and Council and staff are continual to review ways in which further reductions can be accomplished to relieve the tax burden on our residents and businesses.Even though the municipal property tax levy remains unchanged from 1994. municipal property taxes would increase S56 (3.3*) for the average residential property. Two significant factors contribute to this situation. First, the preliminary budget reflects a decrease in stale revenue aid of (479,000. This represents approximately S75 far tbe average taxpayer. Second, as a result of several mayor commercial and multi family property tax appeals, the Borough's tax bare was reduced by 4*. This ha* shifted more of the property tax burden onto the residents.Tbe Mayor aad Council recognize that our government has to take a new look at what we do and how we do it if we are to provide property tax relief. Efforts have been initiated to review each area of our local government to identify ways in which cost* can be reduced. This effort will continue over the next several months as we finalize this year’s budget, but more importantly we will seek to find long-lerm solutions which provide tax stability for the future.

Only those projects were selected which maintained high levels of service, reduced costs or improved the level of safety for employees and residents.
