Mayor to School Board: Show Me the Money
by jason cohen During the Sept. 17 Hackensack City Council meeting, Mayor John Labrosse expressed displeasure with the school board for not paying the salary of a school resource officer. For several years, the police department has provided the high school with a trained resource officer, yet the district is yet to reimburse his salary. Labrosse requested that City Attorney Frank Catania Jr. launch an investigation into the matter and seek reimbursement for an estimated $1 million in salary. We need to get to the bottom of this, he said. I need to understand what happened and how to proceed. The resource officer should be billed into the school taxes. In other business, several residents voiced their concerns about the parking situation on Hudson Street. While the thoroughfare is a mix of residential and commercial, many parking spots only allow a maximum of one hour. The council pledged to investigate the possibility of requiring resident parking permits or extending the maximum time to two hours. Labrosse said he did not know there was an issue with parking on the street and he was glad it was brought to the councils attention. Residents Jhamal Rahman and Louise Scott, both $10-per-hour city crossing guards, addressed the council about receiving pay raises. Councilman David Sims said he was in contact with the labor union and hoped to resolve the issue in the near future. Following recent traffic accidents at the intersections of Passaic Street and Summit Avenue and Passaic and State streets, the council approved resolutions to fund signal repairs at those locations. Finally, there was some additional discussion about developing the parking lot near Foschini Park and Labrosse expressed interest in constructing a municipal pool as well.
Hackensack Schools Update

ment. Before the board took up its regular agenda, a special ceremony was held to honor five deceased Hackensack educators who were inducted into the first Hackensack High School Honor Roll. Trustee Mark Stein, who chaired the Honor Roll Committee, said the idea of an honor roll for great teachers was suggested by a resident and the selection process began last November. The honorees were: James Nunnermaker, who served Hackensack schools as a teacher and a coach from 1970 to 2009. George Liosi, a teacher and TV media specialist, who taught at the high school from 1970 to 2005. Donald William Plump, whose advice to students was follow your dream and grab onto it when you can, according to Abate. Edward Mel Henderson, a coach, assistant principal and teacher who served from 1962 to 1967 and again from 1975 to 1992. Joseph DeFalco, a former principal of the high school died in 2005. James Montesano, who currently serves as principal, said DeFalco knew when to give a kid a kick and when to give him a pat. Plaques were presented to the families of each of the honorees. A second plaque for each member of the honor roll will be hung in an appropriate place in either the middle school or the high school. Stein said he is now soliciting nominees for next years honor roll.

The family of Donald William Plump. by gloria johnson Police Director Mike Mordaga told the Hackensack Board of Education during the public meeting on Sept. 16 that it was more important for officers to patrol the perimeter of the high school than the hallways. I believe we need to pay more attention to the outside of the school, he said. Mordaga said he was appearing before the board in response to rumors that police were failing to provide a presence at the school. When kids want to get into trouble, they go outside of the school, Mordaga said. Its not the hallway that Im concerned about. We should be on the same page. The important thing is whats right for the kids. Board President Veronica Bolcik McKenna said members agreed that an outside presence was needed but were concerned about having a specially-trained schools resource officer in the halls. Mordaga said to put an officer inside the school required him to take one off the street which was not fair to other Hackensack taxpayers. The bottom line is somebody has to pay for the police officer. Under the original agreement, he said, the board of education would pay for the SRO and a patrol car, but somehow it was taken out of the budget. Tuition money that comes in to the board from the sending districts of Maywood, South Hackensack and Rochelle Park should be used to help offset the cost of an SRO, he said. The board of education and the city have to work it out. Mordaga said he would like an SRO at both the high school and middle school but the question remains, Whos going to pay for it? Richard Salkin, school board attorney, said he had been told the cost would be approximately $82,000 per SRO per year. Bolcik McKenna asked Joseph Abate, interim school superintendent, to meet with the powers that be to try to resolve the situation, preferably with a written agree-

Residents Demand End to Profiling Paramus Building Honors Tedesco

by jason cohen The Hackensack African American Civic Association invited the community to the civic center on Oct. 3 to meet Police Commissioner David Sims and Police Director Mike Mordaga in hopes of establishing a good working relationship with the forces new leaders. One theme resonated throughout the night: racial profiling. Mordaga said he knew swift change was needed after witnessing the turmoil the department has endured in recent years with the indictment and conviction of the former chief and the filing of countless civil lawsuits against the city by officers citing harassment and other First Amendment violations. Mordaga, a career law enforcement officer, has only been director seven months but says the force is already headed in a more positive direction. We need to take this community back, he said. We need to work together. July and August are statistically the months with the highest number of burglaries in the country, yet Hackensack only reported 10 during that time frame. Police are also getting drugs off the streets. In 2012, there were a total of 286 narcotic arrests. Since January alone, Hackensack police have executed 835 narcotics arrests. Im not here to sell the police department and say that the Hackensack Police Department is the best in the state, Mordaga said. My job is to turn the police department around. Its not going to happen overnight. Mordaga urged parents to become more involved in their kids lives to ensure they are behaving appropriately and being respectful. Specifically, Mordaga said Hackensack children should never wear pants with their underwear exposed or casually use the N word. We have to do something about the kids, he said. Resident Lori Manning asked Mordaga what he was doing to help those kids who are staying out of trouble and doing the right thing. She said her son feels like hes in the minority in a sea of troublemakers. As a police department, you should be doing a lot of community outreach, Manning said. I fear for my son to go to school every day. Mordaga agreed, pointContinued on Page 14

Retired Mayor James Tedesco with his granddaughter at the dedication ceremony. Mayor Richard LaBarbiera and the Paramus Borough Council rededicated the Life Safety Building in honor of retired mayor James Tedesco III during a ceremony on Sunday, Sept. 29.
Tedescos history of service to the borough spans 36 years. At the age of 18, he volunteered to coach recreation basketball and baseball. He later served as a board member on the junior baseball association and began to coach girls softball and basketball. Tedesco served on the Paramus Planning Board, Bergen County Planning Board, Paramus Borough Council from 2000 to 2002 and as council president in 2001. In 2003, Tedesco was elected mayor, a post he held for eight years. Tedesco remains an active member of the Paramus Volunteer Fire Department, an organization he has dedicated himself to for 37 years, serving twice as chief.
Hackensack Paying Lawyers More

During the Sept. 30 Hackensack City Council meeting, members voted to increase the pay rate for outside attorneys from $125 to $150 per hour. Thom Ammirato, city spokesman, explained that the higher rate puts Hackensack on par with what the county and other municipalities offer. The intent is also to attract more experienced litigators, he said. A higher pay rate will broaden our range of attorneys who want to work for the city, Ammirato said. Ammirato said raising the attorney pay rate is part of a three-prong approach to reduce the citys legal fees. Hackensack has already capped payment on legal contracts by adding a not to exceed monetary figure. That number will be determined on a per-contract basis and will force lawyers to come back to the council if they reach that maximum. This is a way to keep track what we are spending, Ammirato said. The city also plans to control legal spending by settling more cases. We are no longer going to follow the no-settlement policy of the previous administration, explained Ammirato. We thought it was costly and wasteful. It will be up to the attorneys to determine whether it is most cost-effective to litigate or settle.

9/11 Tragedies Never Forgotten

included the murder of 677 New Jersey residents. Neither should we forget the feelings that united all of us. As long as Im county executive, Im happy to honor all of those we lost. Donovan reminded the crowd that 50 years ago, Martin Luther King Jr. stood at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and gave his famous, I Have a Dream speech. If the country was able to come together regardless of race or religion then, Americans must continue this solidarity today, she said. I want us to remember how our world changed that day, she said. Most of all, I want us to remember the unimaginable feelings of patriotism we experienced. We supported each other and we supported our nation. Donovan also announced that the county is partnering with the New Jersey State Museum to bring a curriculum about 9/11 developed by its experts into local schools. Middle school and high school students will view testimonials by survivors, 9/11 families and ground zero volunteers.

A Boy Scout places flowers by the 9/11 monument. by jason cohen In remembrance of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, Bergen County held its annual 9/11 memorial on Sunday, Sept. 15 at Overpeck Park in Leonia. Led by Bergen County Executive Kathleen Donovan, the event brought together victims families, survivors, elected officials and local clergy. The program included the reading of the names of the 154 Bergen County residents who died on that fateful day as well as the names of 19 local military personnel who have lost their lives fighting the war on terrorism since 9/11. Those selected to read the names were Dr. Nancy Mangieri, director of the Bergen County Department of Health Services; Bergen County Police Detective Gidget Petry; Faith Tieri, sister of the late Sal Tieri Jr.; Bergen County Detective Ronald Salzano; Anthony Gardner, brother of the later Harvey Gardner III; and Freeholder Maura DeNicola. Members of local Boy and Girl Scout troops placed flowers at the memorial as each name was recited. We will never forget the tragedies of that day, Donovan said of the acts that

Rochelle Park Township Committeeman Frank Valenzuela; Ann Van Hine addressing the audience; and Teresa Judge Cravello and Ann Van Hine lighting the monument. Rochelle Park hosted a 9/11 memorial on Sept. 11 when a monument that includes a piece of metal from the World Trade Center was dedicated to the memory of two local people who lost their lives that fateful day 12 years ago. One of those victims was the Rev. Mychal Judge who was assigned to Sacred Heart Parish in Rochelle Park. The FDNY chaplain was a Roman Catholic priest of the Franciscan order who was reportedly the first certified death at the World Trade Center. The son of Irish immigrants, Judge had a twin sister, Dympna, and an older sister, Erin. The second local victim was New York Firefighter Richard Bruce Van Hine of Squad 41 in the South Bronx. The Rochelle Park native was 48 years old on Sept. 11, 2001 when he was taken away from his wife of 21 years, Ann, and his daughters, Meghan, 14, and Emily, 17. The piece of the World Trade Center was acquired for Rochelle Park three years ago through the efforts of Rochelle Park resident Rich Cravello, who worked for the Port Authority. Cravello, whose wife, Teresa, is related to Judge, approached Mayor Frank Valenzuela in 2010 with the idea, and the township made a formal request for the metal. I am extremely proud that Rochelle Park will have a proper memorial monument to those former residents and for all that were lost on that tragic day, said Valenzuela.

Hackensack Comets get ready for the Ridgewood Maroons. by jason cohen The Hackensack High School Comets were ready to battle on the gridiron on Friday, Sept. 27, but the Ridgewood Maroons were simply the better team. While Hackensack never quit, the varsity football game appeared over rather quickly as Ridgewood jumped out to a fast 14-0 lead in the first quarter and never looked back. At game end, Hackensack lost 49-21, dropping to 2-2 on the season. The ground-and-pound and speed of Ridgewoods offense proved too much, admitted Hackensack Coach Benjie Wimberly. We came out flat, the coach said. We played a very good football team today. Trailing 21-6 as the half neared a close, Hackensack punted, but a ferocious hit by Goran Krasic caused a fumble and it was recovered by Elijah Johnson. This led to a touchdown and a twopoint conversion, narrowing the deficit to 21-14 with only two minutes remaining in the second quarter. As the momentum appeared to swing in Hackensacks favor, Ridgewood took control of the game again as quarterback Jamal Locke busted out for another long touchdown run, giving the Maroons a 28-14 lead at the half. The Comets scored a quick touchdown in the beginning of the third quarter, but could not find the end zone
Under the direction of Lisa MacVicar, the Hackensack High School Comet Marching Band has enjoyed 20 years of growth, good music, supportive administration, parents, and community. This year, without question, will be a pinnacle year in the history of the Marching Comet organization. Unbeknownst to MacVicar, the Comets were recommended by Michael Melfi, former Hackensack mayor, and the late U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg to participate in the National Independence Day Parade in Washington D.C. on July 4, 2014.
We are honored to accept the nomination and represent our state and community. This is such a huge opportunity for our kids. Im sure they will remember this experience for a lifetime. Planning and preparing for this national event is a major undertaking and fund raising will be very important, said MacVicar. This appointment officially extends our season from five months to 11 months and will take some heavy duty fundraising, said Mike MacVicar, assistant band director and Hackensack Middle School band director. The parade in Washington, D.C. will

Hackensack Resident Wins Emmy Twentieth Century Takes Stage
Stephen Kelley, who has lived in Hackensack with his wife, Kymbra, for the last decade, won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Prosthetic Makeup for a Series, Miniseries, Movie or a Special for his work on Behind the Candelabra at the 2013 Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards on Sept. 15. Kelley worked on the prosthetics for Michael Douglass iconic character, Liberace. It was a challenge trying to figure out what prosthetics to use and the subtley of them to give a realistic look without going too much or too less, he said. I was one of Michael Douglas makeup artists. It was a team effort making his character come to life. He is a true professional and gentleman. It was an absolute pleasure and honor to work with such a great actor. Kelley knew at a young age he wanted to be in the film industry but wasnt sure how to go about it. I remember as a young kid my parents took the family on a trip to California and we ended up going to Universal Studios for the day. The back lot tour was the most amazing thing I had ever seen, he said. When the tram rolled up to the Psycho house, they were actually filming part of Psycho 3. I couldnt believe what I was seeing. At that moment, I knew that this is what I wanted to do, but how the hell do you get into the movie business?

Stephen Kelley, with his wife Kymbra, arriving on the red carpet at the 2013 Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards, on Sunday, September 15, at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live, in Los Angeles. In his senior year of high school, Kelley took a theater course and was exposed to the world of makeup effects. My teacher taught us to do bruises, cuts and scars, he said. My friend and I made each other up as if we had gotten into a fight. Kelley went home and immediately bought a makeup kit and would practice on anyone who would let him. He went on to college to study criminal justice, but then he spotted ad in a magazine for a makeup school. He talked his parents into letting him enroll, and Kelley graduated at the top of his class. Unfortunately, Kelley learned that the school had not taught him the proper techniques, and, essentially, ripped him off. After retraining myself under other makeup artists for a couple of years, I was able to learn things correctly and slowly started taking on small jobs by myself and actually doing them right. People started liking my work and personality.As with everyone else in the business, I started to work on bigger and better projects, working my way up the ladder and paying my dues. Those dues paid off. In 2001, Kelley received his first Emmy Award for Outstanding Makeup for a Series, for his work on The Sopranos. The award was shared with his wife, who served as the key makeup artist on the show. Kelley is currently busy marketing his own makeup effects company (www.skmakeup.com) and just began work on John Wick, a new action movie starring Keanu Reeves. I love the creativity involved with my job. Every day is a different challenge.

Helping and hindering Oscars quest and Lilys rejection of him are a cast of eccentric characters including Ida Webb, Jaffes hardboiled assistant, played by Beatriz Esteban-Messina of Union City; Owen OMalley, Jaffes manager, portrayed by Linden resident Michael Burdick; religious fanatic Matthew Clark, played by Teanecks Elliot Pollack and George Smith, Lilys current lover, played by Gus Ferrari of Montclair.

A couple at the Rochelle Park 5K Run holding hands as they cross the finish line. Hundreds gathered at Midland School on Sept. 29 for the first Rochelle Park Fun Run and 5K Run/Walk. Participants of all ages wound through the township streets on a glorious Sunday morning, some running, while others pushing baby strollers and enjoying the company of their neighbors. The overall winner was Eric Verhasselt, 22, of Rochelle Park. Andrew Lefer, 22, of Paramus, took second, and Raymond Paul, 53, of Midland Park, came in third. The first woman to cross the finish line was Barbara Willock, 50, of Woodcliff Lake. The fastest 13-and-under boy was Kirk Schmidt, 13, of Rochelle Park. The fastest 13-and-under girl was Caitlin Scully, 11, of Rochelle Park. Proceeds from race registrations will go toward Rochelle Park youth programs.
The 2013 girls varsity soccer team. The Hackensack High School varsity girls soccer team is playing more competitive and improving this season with the hopes of winning more games over last year. It will be a struggle facing the likes of Northern Highlands and Ramapo twice a season, admitted Coach Tara Jakubik, whos leading the team for the fifth year. Jakubik said the players to keep an eye on are Jessica Raccioppi, a junior who is considered the top offensive player and will anchor the attack, along with senior Mary Kate Lisi, who plays in the middle. Maria Saad, a junior midfielder, will also be stepping up her game. Several players rotated in the goal last year, and senior Reona Pettway could be used in that position. Savannah LoVecchio, a junior playing her third year on varsity, will be the key defender protecting the goal.

A Gift for Gift-Giving
Ancient Indian Ordeal Completed

Maywood Mayor Gregg Padovano cut the ceremonial ribbon at Kathies. by Joy belgiovine Jennifer Zebrowski makes it her mission to find the perfect gift for every guest that visits her Maywood shop, Kathies Gifts and Accessories. With a staff of five, Kathies Gifts and Accessories carries popular lines such as Alex and Ani, Pandora, Natural Life, Vera Bradley and Brighton and offers a variety of price points and style options. I love helping my guests choose a gift that means something to them or for someone else that makes a lasting impression, she explained. I will call my guests when something comes in that I know they like. I pride myself on being able to find exactly what someone has been looking for or wants. Going that extra mile for her clientele is something Zebrowski learned early on by watching her parents, who owned Kathies Christmas and Collectibles for 32 years in Harrisburg, Pa. I already loved retail. Ive worked in retail and Ive always been comfortable around it. It made sense to get into the family business. After her son was born, Zebrowski decided the time was right to open her own business in the New York/New Jersey area. Her parents, Bill and Kathie Hughes, now retired, were in full support. Five years ago, Kathies Gifts and Accessories opened its doors at Palisades Center mall in West Nyack, N.Y., and later at the Westfield Garden State Plaza in Paramus, finally settling on a home in Maywood last July. An official grand opening was held on Sept. 27. Its been such a warm reception. The residents and business owners in Maywood have been really nice, Zebrowski, said. I selected Maywood because its in close proximity to where we were so its easily accessible to my customer base. I also like that its in a neighborhood filled with an eclectic mix of stores. Its got a very personal feel. Zebrowski is member of the Maywood Chamber of Commerce and involved in an after-school drama program for grades 5 through 8 in Pearl River, N.Y. Zebrowski, who has a background in acting, explained that the retail business is a lot like the theater. At the end of the day, you always have to bring your A game, you cant drop the ball you are always on. Kathies Gifts and Accessories is currently offering grand opening specials, with more promotions scheduled for the holidays. For more information, call 201-226-9555 or visit http://www.kathiesgifts.com. Kathies Gifts and Accessories is located at 136 W. Pleasant Ave. in Maywood. Free parking is available.

South Hackensacks Police Chief
Members of the Little Ferry - South Hackensack girls softball team and their coach with members of the South Hackensack Township Committee. Stefano said he remembered Frew joining the force when Stefano was in sixth grade at Memorial School. You were always a community officer, he said. Department of Public Works Superintendent Larry Paladino shared the others sentiments. I got on the job right before Mike and it has been an honor and a privilege to have him as a friend and chief.. Frew thanked the township committee and the municipal employees of South Hackensack for their continued support. I enjoyed working with everyone. It was an honor and a pleasure. I would also like to thank all the residents for supporting me. Frew is temporarily being replaced by Capt. Joseph Terraccino, who Committeeman Gary Brugger said will be the officer in charge until a permanent replacement is named. In other meeting business, the township committee made special presentations to the Little Ferry-South Hackensack 11- and 12-year-old girls all-stars softball team, which recently won New Jersey District 6 and New Jersey Section 2 championships. The following girls accepted certificates of appreciation: Alexa Regan, Angelina PuPoise Martial Arts

A young Hackensack player waits for a teammates pass at Johnson Park. by michael cohen From the anxious 5-yearold to the experienced 14-year-old, young soccer lovers gathered at Johnson Park on Saturday, Sept. 22 for the opening of the fall season of the Hackensack Junior Soccer Association. With a total of 220 kids participating this season, HJSA organizers are ecstatic about the present and future of the program. Launched 12 years ago by Enza Kowal, a mom whose son began playing the sport when he was 5, the HJSA has developed into an institution in the city. The regular fall season runs right through Nov. 2, with finals scheduled for Nov. 10. Traveling teams for both boys and girls compete all year in the Northern Counties Soccer League. On opening day, the grass field was divided into three separate fields to accommodate the peewees and 7- to 8-year-olds squads, while the HJSA boys traveling team was busy on the AstroTurf field at the front of Johnson Park. I feel our program has grown by leaps and bounds over the years, Kowal said. Playing soccer in Hackensack has become an event. Now into its second decade, the program has seen alumni return to either volunteer coach or referee. Some former HJSA players now have their younger brothers and sisters or children playing. Friendly faces is a big thing for our organization, said Kowal. We treat everyone like they are part of the family here. Over time, you get to know the people, and everyone comes back to contribute to the program. HJSA recently launched its own Web site where parents are able to register their children. Organizers hope to keep players, coaches and families up to date via social media such as Facebook and Twitter. Most exciting this season is the incorporation of professional trainers from Fast Track Soccer who will teach the kids advanced techniques during the week. I grew up playing this game and its the simplest game in the world, said HJSA Treasurer Andrew Wright, who has been a volunteer for the past six years. When I grew up, you didnt have facilities like this, so we had to create a field. It didnt matter, because we loved it. All you need is a ball and a game. Participation in the soccer program is very affordable to accommodate the diverse economic background of people of Hackensack. A $65 registration fee covers uniforms, socks, shoes, training and games. Practices and games are held five days a week, with Saturday being the biggest game day.

South Hackensack Player Amazes

Stef Scholz of South Hackensack scored four goals the most for Rutgers University since Sept. 23, 1984 and the Rutgers womens soccer team cruised to a 5-1 win against in-state rival Princeton on Sept. 22 at Yurcak Field. We know Stef has it in her and Im very happy for her, because theres been hard work, theres been more consistency and all four goals were fantastic finishes, said head coach Glenn Crooks. You can tell shes in tune, shes not turning off and shes just seeing things better. Were trying to get enough variety on the scoring charts as possible. We want different people to produce, so its great for the team. Scholz, a junior forward, scored the most goals for a Rutgers player since Elyse Eichman-Dolan notched five in 1984 the inaugural season of Rutgers womens soccer. Scholz came into the weekend without a goal this season, but now leads the team in the category. She recorded a hat-trick in just 18 minutes of play in the
lido, Falynn Gilchrist, Autumn Thorpe, Gianna Sarlo, Crystal Mudry, Casey Calabrese, Rebecca Grater, I-Asiah Christmas, Angela Aragon and Dorian Capurso. Frew also acknowledged a few business owners in town for their participation in the National Night Out Celebration last August. Robert Fox of Crazy Ronis and Vinko Astalkoski of Alan Party Rental were presented with certificates for their efforts. Cagas then presented the Mayors Award to resident Brian Smith for his efforts that evening. It makes me happy to see kids excel in sports and rewarding our young people and business owners, said Cagas. The committee accepted a retirement notice from Sgt. John Rizer effective Jan. 1, 2014. Also recently retired are Deputy Chief Michael Montenegro and Lt. Stephen Furbacher. In new business, Township Attorney David Nasta suggested that the agreement for the new comfort station inside Memorial School be revisited. Nasta called for the provision that gives the superintendent of schools full discretion over who uses the station to be refashioned. I believe the authority needs to be vested with the mayor and/or police chief,
he said. The comfort station will be used in emergencies to provide South Hackensack residents a roof over their heads, as well as electric and heat and/or air conditioning. Brugger suggested the township move forward with hiring police officers as the next police academy class begins in January. A discussion about charging an application fee will be considered in the future, but Brugger requested that the township clerk be authorized to accept applications for the police department immediately due to the recent retirements. During the public comments portion of the meeting, resident Al DAmbrosio urged the committee to consider painting curbs yellow on certain corners in town. DAmbrosio explained that fire trucks are not able to swing around due to cars being parked near corners. Some suggested areas are Chestnut and Phillips avenues and John Street and Calicooneck Road. Resident Lonnie Bedell asked why the township is cutting down trees and not replacing them. Cagas was quick to reply. This town never took care of their trees. There is no opposition to planting trees. There is just no money.

Remembering Plaid Stamps

by barbara j. gooding Today there are so many ways of redeeming the awards from a purchased product or service by being a loyal customer. Banks, stores, airlines, hotels, credit cards and such all have ways to reward us. This, however, is not a 21st century concept. Beginning in the 1930s through the 1980s, Sperry & Hutchinson began offering stamps to their retailers, gas stations, grocery and department stores, who, in turn, would pass them along to their customers in several denominations based on the value of what they purchased. Bear in mind, this program was totally a cash transaction. No credit cards were part of this. They didnt exist. These stamps were known as S&H Green Stamps and, in our area, we knew them as Triple S Stamps, mostly obtained through purchases at a Grand Union. In the 1960s, a popular savings stamp was the MacDonald Plaid Stamp that was presented to A&P customers based on the amount of money that was spent on groceries. One could paste 50 single stamps, five 10-stamps or one 50-stamp per page in the Plaid Stamp Saver Book. Like many similar books, it was comprised of 24 pages, and one complete book equaled $12. That was quite a bit of money back then. This redemption experience was a thrilling and popular one during this era. It was the talk of neighborhood barbecues and cocktail parties. Plaid Land Redemption Centers were local. This is where youd take your completed stamped books, having filled out the Plaid Stamp Order Form and arrive to redeem your selected purchase. This experience was as exciting as looking at the yearly Christmas Sears Roebuck catalog and getting your pick that day. By the way, if you

lived outside the 25-mile radius of the nearest Plaid Land, you could mail in your order with your books and applicable taxes and allow two to three weeks for delivery. No one in my family can remember what we earned with the stamps but I wonder if an old plaid Thermos container came from Plaid Land. Who knows. Those were the days. Barbara J. Gooding is a creative and historical writer who resides in Hackensack. She may be contacted via The County Seat newspaper or bjgooding@gmail.com.
Paramus Teen Promotes Tolerance

acceptance among all students and foster tolerance for others. I became close with people whom I never thought I would be, Ariana said. I learned a lot about myself and worked together with many people to make my school a better place. Ariana has been a Girl Scout since first grade. At Paramus High School, she is a member of the Tri M Music Honor Society, marching band, concert band and jazz band. She also participates in drama and the school musicals. Being involved in Girl Scouts has shaped me to be a well-rounded person, Ariana said. It has taught me to be involved and volunteer in my community. Many great attributes I have are because of my involvement in Girl Scouts.

Ariana Dellosa with members of Come Together. Ariana Dellosa, a Paramus High School student, recently completed her Girl Scout Gold Award by starting a club at her school to challenge others to break down social barriers and become friends. The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest award a Girl Scout can earn and requires the completion of a leadership project of at least 80 hours. Each girl must discover an issue in the community, connect with experts and community members, and take action to cause positive change. Known as Come Together, the club invited students to participate in events and activities encouraging teens be kind and accepting to each other. With more than 30 active participants, the group was able to promote

the rest of the game. Locke continued to run the ball and carved up the Comets defense. Locke had a total of 103 yards on the ground, rushed for two touchdowns and threw for one. Wimberly said his team game-planned with Locke in mind the previous week, but he proved to be too much to handle. They executed well, he said. We kept showing our immaturity. Turnovers and missed tackles plagued Hackensack in the second half. The staunch defensive line of Ridgewood forced quarterback Jalen Wheeler to press and he overthrew a receiver in the beginning of the fourth quarter, giving the ball right back to Ridgewood. The offense, which produced more than 300 yards,
wasnt the problem, Wimberly said. Wheeler completed 15 of 26 passes for 162 yards and a touchdown. Hackensack running back Aaron Guzman rushed for 100 yards and scored a touchdown. It just wasnt enough. I give them all the credit, Wimberly said of his Ridgewood opponents. He (Locke) made great plays that great players make. Locke urged players to keep their heads up because they were scheduled to play a tough game on Friday, Oct. 4 against Eastside High School of Paterson. A Paterson native himself, Wimberly said the game would have extra meaning for him. I think that makes it a little more exciting than I want it to be, he said. It will be a very intense week of practice.
This organization is originally for children from 5 years up to the first year in college and we do all sorts of events, said Gohlich. We were originally agriculturally based but its brought to different levels now.

Letters to the Editor Understand the Black Male Mindset

My name is Dock Russell Jr. I am the Democratic County Committee representative for District 3-3 in Hackensack. My district covers the area from Central Avenue to Berry Street and Second Street to Railroad Avenue. Recent events have caused me to rethink my involvement in city, county and state government and to focus on people. As I see it, we as blacks are at a loss for real legal action working on our behalf when we have issues. I hope to help create a forum that starts with our black males and then moves to our other local issues. I encourage all individuals to seek to understand the black male mindset and plight before it is too late. Over the course of my educational journey, I have read countless stories about violence against black males, but the stories that disturbed my mind the most were the ones about Christopher Dorner and Aaron Alexis. As I reflect on my personal experience of growing up, I am disheartened by the fact that violence has and continues to be a constant factor in how most black males experience life. Thoughts of being insignificant are so deeply-rooted in our minds that it invades the very fabric of our souls. Throughout history, black males have lived with the disturbing assumption that their lives are insignificant and dispensable. To understand this mindset, I am asking concerned people in Hackensack to join me in a meeting to create a forum Please contact me with your feedback, help and participation at 551-574-0181 or e-mail dockr@tbol.net. Dock Russell Jr. Hackensack

Margaret Farrell, director, English Language Learning; senior Justin Esteves; Ambassador Azmat Hassan, professor emeritus at Seton Hall School of Diplomacy; Principal John Bellocchio; John Bratowicz, social studies teacher; and seniors Andrea Gaviria and Jonathan Trinidad. Queen of Peace High School of North Arlington launched a new Center for International Studies program on Sept. 18 in partnership with Seton Hall Universitys School of Diplomacy and International Relations. Students were given an overview of the program at an assembly presented by Principal John Bellocchio, Margaret Farrell, Director of English Language Learning, and Ambassador Azmat Hassan, professor emeritus at Seton Hall School of Diplomacy. The objective of the new program is to provide our students with a solid backdrop of the global and international realities of todays world, paying particular emphasis on geopolitics, international economics, human rights and United Nations studies, said Bellocchio. The certificate program is comprised of six courses taken at QPHS, along with a significant service component with an international focus. Students will attend seminars on global studies at Seton Hall, both during and after normal QPHS hours, and participate in Model UN Conferences. In their senior year, participating students are required to produce a capstone project that discusses their practical and theoretical background in geopolitics. The six courses required for the certificate are Western Civilization, Area Studies, U.S. History I and II, Contemporary Issues and Religion 4: Social Justice and World Religions. The international service requirement may be fulfilled by participating in the From Houses to Homes project in Guatemala, a program in part supported by the Order of Malta which builds homes for the poor during a five-day period in August. The trip is organized and supervised by Queen of Peace Parish. Graduating QPHS students, who have successfully completed the certificate program and meet requisite SAT/GPA requirements, may apply and be admitted to the Seton Hall School of Diplomacy and International Relations. Students who meet university requirements, including being in the top 10 percent of their graduating class, will also be eligible for in-state tuition at Seton Hall University. Its a tremendous opportunity for our students to learn about the world around them while preparing for the world that awaits them, said Bellocchio.

G & S Hardware: Where Smaller is Better

Back in the day before big box retailers, neighborhood businesses flourished because they supported their own. Shoppers entered an establishment and were greeted by name. The customer found what he wanted and felt good about the experience. The family of G & S Hardware & Supply has brought that mom-n-pop feel back to the customer. Located at 251 Hudson St., on the corner of Frederick Street, in Hackensack, the shops warm and friendly staff has been providing that old school charm since the business was taken over by Bergen County natives Richard Grabusnik and his brother-in-law partner, Jim Sandham, over a year ago. On any given day, family members along with five other experienced employees are on hand to help customers. Branded by True Value and Benjamin Moore - which means there are no cheap knockoffs on the shelves - G & S offers clients the comfort and satisfaction of avoiding the big box stores with their long lines, bad customer service and faulty equipment. Unlike larger stores where its near impossible to find an employee, G & S staffers can walk clients through any project- beginning to end. Employees ask questions to get the right item and solution to a problem for a successful outcome. Grabusnik alone has more than 30 years of experience, having served 27 of those at the former B & S Supply. He brings an incredible amount of construction experience to the business, and, on any given day, the hardware guru can be found assisting customers with their do-it-yourself projects ranging from a fixing a leaky toilet to installing sheetrock. Were more than just a basic hardware store, said Grabusnik. Were here to do fair business. Success breeds success, added Sandham. The 5,000-square foot building - which includes 3,500 square feet of retail space and a small warehouse - has a 100-year history including its previous incarnation as B & S Supply, conducted business for 56 years. Remodeled following Hurricane
HARDWARE & SUPPLY L.L.C.
Sandy, the store is big enough to stock an endless supply of hardware, plumbing, electrical and paint products, but small enough for that corner store feel. Although G & S is mostly patronized by contractors, its owners are hoping to entice more homeowners to shop the aisles instead of heading to the chain stores on the highway. Grabusnik says the shop has items for all reasons and seasons including ladders, caulk, lawn and gardening materials and drill bits. They also offers window screen repair. The appearance of the building was not friendly for homeowners. They thought we were a supply store for contractors and big companies only, said Sandham. We want to be a part of the community.
