Ready for Some Comet Football


BY MICHAEL COHEN He stood on the sidelines of Della Torre Field in the shadows of the Hackensack High School campus with a stopwatch in one hand and a whistle dangling around his neck, watching his Comets go through a physically grueling practice. For the first time in nearly two years, Benjie Wimberley was doing what he does best, coach football. It was a late Thursday afternoon in August and the humidity was high, but the conditions

Hackensack Council Recognizes Good Samaritans Schools Set Tougher Standards
BY MICHAEL COHEN Students at Hackensack High School will be seeing some major changes this school year. This includes the distribution of iPads for use in doing research and completing projects. During the Aug. 13 Hackensack Board of Education meeting, school officials revealed in detail programs that include new curriculum standards and the sharpening of the business administration of the citys school system. The changes, which were introduced at the meeting by Rosemary Marks, director of the Hackensack High School World Languages Department, require teachers and administrators to evaluate student and teacher performance more thoroughly over the upcoming year. Teachers have to be subject matter experts, Marks said. Teachers in the 21st century have to understand instructional planning for their students with longand short-term plans that work for each student. Two changes that have already been instituted throughout the state - the Core Curriculum Content Standards and the Excellent Educators for New Jersey Program - have been adopted by the Hackensack school system. The ultimate goal of the program is to provide teachers with an evaluation of student performance in all subjects from math to language arts. The students scores will evaluate how the teachers are performing and what needs to be done to help those who are lagging behind. Teachers, students and administrators will basically make the curriculum and take ownership of its development, Marks added. In short, the state plan requires schools to bring in teachers with the skills to educate students of all learning abilities and backgrounds. Those students who do need extra help have a curriculum that best suits their abilities. Teachers and students will then be evaluated based on performance. In addition, students at Hackensack High School will get more involved in communicating with their teachers and the school. Students will continue to use a personal Hackensack High School e-mail account, and each freshman will receive a school-issued iPad to use for school purposes, allowing them to complete their research and classroom work in a business-like setting. Marks added that a specific model for the new curriculum will be selected by October with a permanent plan put in place by winter. More details will be explained at future school board meetings. Finally, the business side of Hackensack High School will be restructured in order to create more order from the top on down. When I came here, the organization had two superintendents of schools, there were no assistant superintendents, I was all alone, said Superintendent Joseph Abate. We looked at the structure of the offices and we needed at least two people in the office, and a human resource coordinator. The Human Resources Department will now have two administrative assistants, one who will focus on payroll and the other responsible for evaluations. Both will report to the department head, Rita Salley. I can accomplish what I need to. We didnt have HR before. Now we can have an organization that can maximize our opportunity and shape our culture and affect people in a positive way, Salley said. With more assistance in HR, Salley can now focus on hiring teachers who are the top in their field and qualify under the standards set by the state.

Hackensack Mayor Michael Melfi, Daime Smith and his grandmother, Arline Newby; and Melfi with rescuer John Goez. BY PATTI MCNAMARA Mayor Michael Melfi took time out of the Hackensack City Councils Sept. 4 public meeting to recognize several good Samaritans including a keen-eyed security guard and one smart, quick-thinking boy. The first honoree was Christian Martinez, a security guard at the Shops at Riverside in Hackensack. He was working on July 21 when he spotted a woman who he recognized as being sought by the police for serious shoplifting charges. Martinez quickly notified the Hackensack Police Department, and officers were able to apprehend the woman without incident. It was later learned that the suspect was also wanted by authorities in Illinois. Up next was a young man who was credited with saving his grandmothers life. Arline Newby was unconscious inside the family home on June 23 when her grandson, Daime Smith, discovered her body and immediately called 9-11. Fortunately, help arrived quickly and Newby survived. The proud grandmother stood by Daimes side as he was presented with a certificate by Melfi and the council. City Manager Steve Lo Iacono asked Newby, who had fallen into a diabetic coma on that day, how she was feeling. She smiled, looked at her grandson and said, Very well, thank you. The last heroes to be recognized were John Goez and Jay Orfino. When an elderly woman accidentally drove her vehicle into the Hackensack River while exiting a car wash on July 22, John Goez, an employee, and Orfino, a customer, didnt think twice before jumping into the water to save her. The woman was treated and released from Hackensack University Medical Center thanks to the mens efforts in pulling her out of the sinking car. In regular meeting business, an ordinance authorizing the donation of abandoned or unclaimed bicycles to the needy was approved. The police department periodically comes into possession of abandoned or unclaimed bicycles. However, the cost to auction them off exceeds the amount received at auction. If the rightful owner does not come forward within 90 days, the council agreed to donate all bikes to Peoples Bicycles in Beacon, N.Y., which repairs bikes and donates them to those in need. During the public portion of the meeting, a group of residents questioned if a civilian police director would he hired to lead the police department instead of Interim Police Chief Tomas Padilla, who has been deposed in several civil law suits filed by police officers against the city and former chief Ken Zisa. I am not going to discuss personnel issues at this time, said City Manager Steve Lo Iacono. I have full confidence in Chief Padilla right now; but I will address this when the depositions are done.

Dillard Memorial Bridge Honors Fallen Hackensack Marine Hackensack Bowler in Italia

Photo Courtesy: Bob Rhein Photos Courtesy: Gail Vachon

Hackensack Mayor Michael Melfi and Bogota Mayor Patrick McHale enjoy a ceremonial bridge crossing with 1910 Model T Ford owner and driver Manny Rein. On Sept. 7, nearly 104 years after the F.R. Long Company constructed the historic swing-style Court Street Bridge connecting Hackensack to Bogota, a newly-constructed bridge dedicated to local Vietnam War hero Harold Duke Dillard was unveiled. Elected officials, military veterans and Dillards family gathered at the bridge site to celebrate a project that was 15 years in the making. According to Joseph Femia, engineer for Bergen County Department of Public Works, said construction started in June 2010 and was scheduled to be completed by May 2011. But as the deadline loomed, engineers delayed the re-opening because of extensive rehabilitation that was not originally planned. During this historical reconstruction, many of the original parts were kept. The second set of gates is original as well as one third of the trusses. Original gears can be seen at the southwest corner of the bridge on display with the plaque commemorating its 1908 construction. The bridge still swings but the days of large barges coming up the river for the factories along the Hackensack are all but gone. The bridge-tender house which stores the electrical equipment designed to operate the bridge also underwent extensive repairs. The cost of the reconstruction is estimated at $19.2 million with more than $17 million coming from the 2010 federal stimulus package. Fletcher Creamer and Joseph Sanzari managed the extensive project. Dillard, a lance corporal in the Marines who was born in 1946 and graduated from Hackensack High School in 1965. He earned accolades in football, basketball and track where he was noted for his high jump on the AllCounty team. Dillard served two tours in Vietnam with the United States Marine corps and was killed in action on May 25, 1967 during the Battle of Quang Tri Province, near the Demilitarized Zone. Dillard was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart, a Medal of Gallantry for Valorous Action during Operation Hastings and the Vietnam Cross of Gallantry with Palm for his combat action near the Demilitarized Zone. Sylvester and June Fields, the couple which raised Dillard, were on hand as well as Dillards sister, Janet, and cousin, Adrian Fields Berry, who accepted the Bergen County Medal from Bergen County Executive Kathleen Donovan on Dillards behalf. Its inscription reads, Duty, honor and country. We will always remember the people who gave their lives for our country, said Donovan. Hackensack Mayor Michael Melfi and McHale ceremoniously participated in

Vanderbilt University bowling team in Italy. Lauren Rhein, a Hackensack resident, traveled to Florence this summer with her college bowling team from Vanderbilt University. Rhein, who at one point logged seven strikes in a row, helped her Commodore team nearly sweep all categories as its members easily dominated the Italian National Team, going 1-2 in singles, winning doubles and out-distancing themselves in the triage. The team presented the Italian team with a silver tray engraved with a thank you for hosting the event, and each Vanderbilt bowler gifted the Italians specially-designed slippers that slide over their bowling shoes. We treated this more as an international experience more than a competition, said Coach John Williamson, and the girls took away something most people in our sport dont get to experience. It was an amazing opportunity and the Italians were very hospitable.

We were very lucky to have such a competent team on this job, said Femia. Bogota Mayor Patrick McHale of Bogota said he was glad the Dillard Memorial Bridge was finally completed. It will be so much easier to get to Hackensack now, said McHale whose residents were using the Midtown Bridge into the city while bridge was out of commission. He said that he had received dozens of complaints from Bogota residents about the delays. But the day was all about

Girl, 7, Reports Sex Assault A 50-year-old man has been arrested by the Bergen County Prosecutors Office and accused of sexually assaulting a 7-year-old acquaintance, officials said. On Aug. 6, the girl reported that she was assaulted by a man identified as Gonzalo Ramirez two weeks previously at her Hackensack home. The state Division of Child Protection and Permanency (formerly the Division of Youth and Family Services) received the initial report and contacted the Bergen County Prosecutors Office Special Victims Unit. An investigation ensued with the Hackensack Police Department and initial attempts to locate Ramirez failed. On Aug. 12, he was arrested without incident by the Woodcliff Lake Police Department after information was received that he was in that jurisdiction. Ramirez, who is married, was charged with the sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child. Bail was set at $250,000 with no 10 percent option. Ramirez was ordered to surrender his passport and not to contact the victim. He remains at the Bergen County jail in lieu of bail. Two County Cops Indicted A Bergen County grand jury has handed up an indictment charging Bergen County Police Officers Saheed Baksh and Jeffrey Roberts with official misconduct. On Aug. 12, 2010, Baksh was involved in a motor vehicle pursuit of a suspect, later identified as Francesco Piserchia, who fled the scene of a burglary in Paramus. The pursuit ended on West Shore Avenue in Bogota. At the end of the chase, Baksh fired two rounds at Piserchia as he fled his vehicle. Neither Piserchia nor a second suspect, Carlos Camacho, was shot. The Bergen County Prosecutors Office Major Crimes Unit launched an investigation of the shooting, which revealed that two shell casings from the scene were missing. Roberts was one of the officers who also responded to the scene at West Shore Avenue, officials said. The seven-count indictment charges Baksh and Roberts with one count of conspiracy to commit official misconduct, two counts of official misconduct and one count of false swearing. The officers arraignments on this indictment will be scheduled within the next few weeks. Metal Thieves Thwarted While on duty at Rochelle Parks annual oldies concert at Midland School on Aug. 21, Detective Jim DePreta spotted three men walking quickly on William Street, directly behind the concert. The suspects were each carrying backpacks that were weighed down with heavy materials. All three entered a backyard on Chestnut Avenue and appeared to unload the items in this yard. The yard, which was visible from the Midland School field, contained large amounts of scrap metal. Officers stopped the men and learned that they had allegedly entered the Artesian Wells property on Oak Street and stolen copper pipes from inside the building. Richard Rodriguez, 18, of Rochelle Park, Benedetto DErrico, 18, of Maywood, and a minor were charged with burglary and theft, reports said. No Headlights, Big Trouble At approximately 10 p.m. on Aug. 28, Rochelle Park Police Officer Edward Kukalski spotted an Acura TSX exiting The Boom Burger parking lot on West Passaic Street without its headlights activated. He stopped the vehicle and noticed that the driver was under the influence of a controlled substance or alcohol, police said. The driver, Frank Smickley, 35, of River Edge, was found to be in possession of a glass jar containing suspected marijuana and was charged with several motor vehicle violations including driving while intoxicated. He was also charged with possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute.

Classic Car Wash Opens in Style Feeling Good About Fall


BY BARBARA J. GOODING Although fall doesnt officially start until mid-September, there is something about Labor Day that seems to say that summertime has come to an abrupt end. I often think of Thomas Moores 1805 poem entitled Tis the Last Rose of Summer, which gently, yet sadly, tales a roses last days as fall sets upon it. Yet before giving this holiday a bad rap, first and foremost we should acknowledge what Labor Day means. The first Labor Day was celebrated on Sept. 5, 1882 in New York City. According to the United States Department of Labor, Labor Day, which is the first Monday in September, recognized the creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country. Its a day when the nation pays homage to the creator of so much of the nations strength, freedom, and leadership the American worker. Many mark this day by attending street parades, festivals and barbecues with friends and family. Children are now returning to school, and getting ready for it can be a struggle. But, for most, once they are back in the classroom, they are reunited with friends, talking about what they did last summer and obligingly hitting the books. For many, fall is an invigorating season which fills the air with the smell of fallen leaves and burning fireplaces and brings clear cool nights brimming with glittering stars. We get back to eating casseroles, thick creamy soups and desserts. After all, we can hide those extra calories now with a bulky sweater. Football is highly anticipated by fans and players alike this time of year. For Hackensack and Teaneck high schools, which have been long-time football rivals, a season of weekend matches leading up to a Thanksgiving Day playoff is all some can focus on. Its always an exciting Novembers game to attend with the bonus of reuniting with alumni and friends. There are all kinds of picking one can do at nearby farms, ranging from pumpkin, apple, corn, squash, berries and more. Remember, we are the Garden State. Its just a short ride and a perfect days outing from the Hackensack area to see the autumn foliage speckled in all shades of red, orange and purple but we really dont need to go anywhere to see the leaves change with the abundance of trees in our own locale. When I was a child, my friends and I would pick up leaves and try to identify them. Was it a maple, an oak, an elm or one wed have to look in the encyclopedia to determine? Did you know New Jerseys state tree is the Northern Red Oak? So fall is here and theres lots to enjoy these next couple of months. Theres still time to relax in your outdoor chaise lounge inbetween mowing the lawn one last time and raking the leaves. Maybe well get a warm day or two of Indian summer. Next time youre out for a walk, why not pick up a colorful leaf and press it between the pages of a good book. Later this winter open to those same pages and remember when and where you found it. You could also place one or more leaves under a piece of flat glass over a small table so theyll linger with their amazing colors just a little bit longer. Many years ago, the author and poet William Alexander Percy wrote so appreciatively of falls arrival: I heard a bird at break of day sing from the autumn trees. A song so mystical and calm, so full of certainties. Barbara J. Gooding is a creative and historical writer who resides in Hackensack. She is co-author of Hackensack, a Pictorial History and Images of America-Hackensack. She may be contacted via The County Seat newspaper or bjgooding@gmail. com.

Hookah Paradise at Aladdins Smoke Shop


BY SONALI BASAK When Pakistan native Mohammad Memon noticed that hookah pipes were becoming trendy in the United States, he decided to open up Aladdins Smoke Shop in Lodi last April. Five months later, the Route 46 shop is busier than he ever expected. For the last three or four years, a lot of people have been going to their home countries and bringing back hookahs. Their friends and families see them and want one of their own, says Memon, who previously owned discount stores with his family. According to Memon, the benefits of smoking a hookah - a water pipe with a small basin, hose and a mouthpiece are plenty when compared to cigarettes. There are tobaccofree and nicotine-free products as well as fruit-flavored herbs, including pineapple and banana. Memon also notes that while cigarette smoking is an individual action, many people can sit around a hookah and smoke together for more social pur-

says. I owe my students at least a fun read for all those years of inspiring me. Ryans debut novel concerns Paul Farrington a veteran fixer for a shady corporation who is targeted for murder just as hes trying to finance his daughters Ivy League education. How far will he go to provide for his family and keep them safe? Meanwhile, Detectives Frank Mallory and Alberto Gunner Gennaro are forced to play catch up with a killer possibly a demon who leaves evidence at each meticulously detailed murder scene that pay homage to Dantes classic The Inferno. A harrowing journey unfolds throughout the 327page novel that reveals connections between the detectives and Farrington, dripping with inspiration from the authors first-hand knowledge of the NYPD, literary classics, and rock and roll. The goal is to thrill first and then challenge readers to consider what they believe, says Ryan. Ryan comes from a family of NYPD alum. His father spent 28 years as an officer and sergeant in the South Bronx, his brother - a 20-year veteran - worked as a detective, and his cousin retired

A lot of women are also seen smoking hookah now because it is healthier and you can do it with family. Although hookah lounges have become a popular social outing, Memon says owning ones own pipe is more affordable. Aladdins carries an array of hookahs, accessories and tobacco flavors. There are types of pipes and cigarette rolling papers. Memon buys his hookahs locally. He says there are so many distributors in United States now that there is abundance of unique items to choose from. Aladdins sells hookahs in many sizes and colors. There are even designer hookahs including some colorful selections by Ed Hardy. Memon also offers a table hookah, which can be kept indoors or outdoors, with the pipes stored underneath. Memon admits that he doesnt smoke hookah himself but uses them to decorate his home, which he says is very common. Aladdins Smoke Shop is located at 195 Route 46 West in Lodi and is open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and until 10:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. The shop is closed on Sundays.

Christopher Ryan spent eight years as an award-winning Bronx crime and politics reporter in the 1980s and has spent the past 16 years working as a teacher at Hackensack High School. Ryan says his new book, City of Woe, was greatly inspired by his days as a reporter as well as his time teaching creative writing, journalism, drama and English and especially the discussions of The Inferno with his students. Taking our annual Field Trip to Hell with my beloved seniors honed my knowledge of Dantes masterpiece. The debates on moral priorities always thrilled me, and their struggle to embrace the older cadences of the work inspired me to want to see a modern teaser that might interest people in this classic piece of literature, Ryan

as a captain, garnering him with an intimate knowledge of the NYPD and the world of crime. It is sort of the family business, Ryan says. City of Woe is truly a page turner, a classic detective novel with a twist. The detectives are written in such a way that the reader expects to run into them on the streets. Ryan not only writes about his characters but also brings them to life. The banter between the detectives is sharp and witty. The reader is immediately endeared to the two detectives, although many of their qualities are unappealing. The book begins with a seemingly normal day for the detectives, a strange case, but a murder nonetheless. Ryan manages to draw the reader in as the characters and the case unfolds, giving just enough information to keep the reader engaged in the story. While on the hunt for the killer, Ryan throws in a twist. The detectives must question their own religious faith as well as try to expand their horizons to believe in the unbelievable. City of Woe is thrilling. It keeps the reader engaged throughout. The unlikely twist should have been out of place, but Ryan is able to merge the everyday of a murder with the supernatural. Ryan is the founder of Seamus and Nunzio Productions, along with his wife, Tina. The New Jersey-based production company is the hub for the familys creative pursuits, including Zombies of New Milford, an independent comedy currently in post-production. He earned his MA in English/Creative Writing at Rutgers University and received the universitys English Award for Highest Distinction in Literary Studies for his masters thesis an earlier draft of City of Woe. City of Woe (Mallory and Gunner Series) is currently available on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com in digital form ($2.99), and on Amazon.com in print form ($9.99).

Main Street Hackensack


Mediterranean Delights on Main
BY NOELLE FRIESON Main Street in Hackensack is known for its variety of international cuisines. From Cuban delicacies to traditional Indian dishes, the offerings are enough to keep even the most dedicated foodies coming back for more. Main Streets newest addition is Maris Market, a Mediterranean grocery store now at 331 Main St. The husbandand-wife team of Marie-Rose and Davit Arakelian owned a similar market in River Edge for over 13 years before fire destroyed the business. After an exhausting 14-month search, the Arakelians chose to relocate to Main Street. Everyone from our neighbors to the other parents in the Hackensack schools have been warm and welcoming, said Marie-Rose Arakelian about her new community. Residents and people who

Development Application Process Streamlined


The Hackensack City Council has submitted an ordinance that would streamline the application process for developers and lower costs for those looking to invest in Hackensack to the citys planning board. The proposed process is intended to provide applicants with a clear, defined set of parameters and requirements for the various types of applications in order to expedite their submittal, review and approval. Our objective with this new streamlined process is to cut the red tape for developers in Hackensack to promote growth and investment in the Main Street Corridor, said Hackensack Mayor Michael Melfi. Hackensack is continuing to update our procedures to 21st century policies that can allow us to really jumpstart progress in our downtown. I am confident these new measures will be well received by our planning board and potential investors in our city. If the ordinance is approved, an applicant appearing before the planning board or zoning board of adjustment would use new forms and checklists that provide step-by-step guidance on the procedures. The city has also revamped its fee structure to align it with those charged by other New Jersey communities. Additionally, a PreApplication Review Committee would be created to informally review proposed projects. The PACRC will consist of the following city representatives: City manager or designee Zoning officer Land use administrator Construction code official City attorney or designee Citys planning consultant Planning board or zoning board attorney An applicant would be able to request a pre-application conference with the committee prior to making a formal application to either the planning board of zoning board of adjustment. Following the blueprint set forth in our recently adopted rehabilitation plan for Main Street, Hackensack is going to continue its aggressive efforts to court new developers into our community, City Manager Stephen Lo Iacono. This is another important step showing the development community that we are open for business in Hackensack and ready to form mutually beneficial partnerships to our city and prospective developers.

Teaneck Fencer Captures Bronze


The USA Womens Olympic fencing team featuring Maya Lawrence of Teaneck won bronze in the epee event during last months games in London. After failing to capture an individual medal, Lawrence joined her teammates, Courtney Hurley, Kelley Hurley and Susie Scanlan, to earn a third place finish by defeating Russia in a match that ended in sudden-death overtime. Lawrence is a graduate of Teaneck High School and Princeton University. She now lives in Paris where she trains in fencing. Lawrence made the Senior World Championship Team in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2011. She also won team gold in the 2011 Pan American Championships. At 32, Lawrence is the oldest fencer on the USA Womens Olympic fencing team. She is currently the No. 2 ranked fencer in the United States.

Runners of all ages traveled through the streets of Hackensack and Lodi. BY PATTI MCNAMARA On Aug. 6, members of the Boys and Girls Club of Lodi and Hackensack participated in a torch run to open the organizations 11th Olympiad. Runners took off from Summit Avenue in Hackensack and finished at the clubs headquarters in Lodi where they were met with a crowd of supporters and thunderous applause. During this third annual run, participants were met at Lodis municipal complex by Bergen County police officers on horseback who escorted them around the final turn. As they came over the final bridge, the runners saw the front lawn of the newlyrenovated clubhouse packed with red, white and blue balloons and their peers chanting and clapping as the torch approached. The torch was carried in segments by Shanice Murray, Sofia Delgado, Miguel Pea, Yarolo Suriel, Demetry Sladhy, David Tarrallo, Adalissa Urea, Eliani Sanchez and Quiana Nuez. They were joined by Lodi Mayor Marc Schrieks and Assemblyman Tim Eustace, who ran alongside the children for the entire 1.9-mile run. This event affords the kids the opportunity to participate in team sports, share in the competition and there is no better place than the Boys and Girls Club to make this happen, said Schrieks. I am a former member who learned to swim here. Eustace, Maywoods former mayor, wiped the sweat from his brow and looked back at the crowd. Its a good idea to support the Boys and Girls clubs, as they support our communities. Rather than stand here watching; why not run with them? At the torch-lighting ceremony, Michael Nardino, executive director of the Boys and Girls Club, asked for a round of applause for all the runners and thanked Clear Channel Outdoor for providing a barbecue and activities for the children. This event solidifies the kids with good spirit, good competition and nobody loses. Nardino spoke about the devastating damage suffered by the Lodi club by the pummeling rains and winds of Hurricane Irene last year. The storm left the building inundated in several feet of water and unable to be used by children for months. Nardino reminded the crowd that everyone pulled together. Thank God we did it. The torch was lit, and Nardino declared the official opening of the 11th Boys and Girls Club Olympiad where members would participate in a series of Olympics-style competitions.

Finest and Bravest Nights keep Hackensack kids off the streets.
Photo Courtesy: Sheldon Neal

BY PATTI MCNAMARA For the past 10 weeks of the summer, members of the Hackensack police and fire departments have volunteered their Thursday evenings to help keep city kids off the streets by hosting Finest & Bravest Nights at the recreation center. Police Lt. Jaime Barrios, of the juvenile division, said the goal of the new program was simple to keep kids out of trouble. Barrios credited Officer Luis Furcal for coming up the the idea. Furcal is the new school resource officer at Hackensack High School, taking over for Officer Kenny Martin, who recently retired. On any given Thursday night this summer, one could find some of Hackensacks police officers and firefighters mingling with kids aged 11 to 17 during the four hourlong gatherings. Kids were given the option to play sports such as basketball, volleyball, wiffle ball or touch football. They could also watch movies while making new friends and enjoying pizza donated by two local eateries. The kids were also treated to a 30-minute block of instruction every week on topics such as drug and alcohol awareness, fire prevention, cigarettes, bullying and gangs. The mascot for the New Jersey Jackals spoke to the group and players from the Newark Bears came to visit and distribute tickets. According to Barrios, the kids came back week after week because they enjoyed themselves while interacting with officers and firefighters. It was fun and good to interact with the younger kids,

and Deputy Mayor Marlin Townes as special guests. All participants were presented with certificates of participation and refreshments were served. The program was funded by the citys police and firefighters labor unions, North Jersey Regional Crime Prevention Officers Association and the Center for Alcohol and Drug Resources of Hackensack.

Rotary Applauds Community Groups


As part of Hackensack Rotarys mission to encourage and foster service within the community, the club recently honored five community organizations for their service projects. There are so many great things that go on in our community every day, said Amanda Missey, president, Hackensack Rotary. Hackensack Rotary values the opportunity to support the organizations that touch peoples lives in profound ways. We consider it an honor and a privilege to recognize the service, dedication and commitment of the individuals who strive to make a difference in the lives of others. Steve Koestner, chairman of the Community Grants Committee, presented a $500 check to each of the following organizations: The ARC of Bergen and Passaic Counties, Inc. for the purchase of iPads to help developmentally disabled children and adults communicate.

Sholoco Needs a Home PuzzleAnswers


Games on Page 22

Sholoco is a pure breed boxer available for adoption at the Bergen County Animal Shelter. Full of energy and vitality, this 4to 5-year-old will need a strong and confident leader to show him the ropes and his place in the world. It seems as though this pooch received no formal training so basic obedience is in order. Although he does handle correction well, Sholoco appears to exhibit dominant behaviors and his handlers will need to correct him and provide him with a more balanced lifestyle and a stable routine. Sholoco is easy to walk and has learned to sit and looks to his handler for direction. The Bergen County Animal Shelter is located at 100 United Lane, For more information, call 201-2294600 or visit http://www. petfinder.com/shelters/ NJ29.html>.

didnt stop the Hackensack Comets football team from completing offensive and defensive drills in a two-hour long session. With opening day set for Sept. 8, Wimberly said he was excited for this new beginning. Wimberly hasnt coached a football game in two years after Paterson Catholics athletic program closed down in 2010 and was eager to get back on the grid iron. Wimberly takes over for Mike Miello, the Comets longtime coach who retired at the end of last season. Its exciting, refreshing for me to be around the guys and working with young men. Its a great feeling. I surely missed it, Wimberly said. The first scrimmage was funny. I was nervous going to a scrimmage. I never get nervous going to a scrimmage. I had to get the monkey off my back. Wimberly, 47, is one of the most successful coaches in the state, winning 102 games and seven state titles, including three in a row from 2007 to 2009 during his 15 years at Paterson Catholic. He turned the program into one of the states top football schools joining the likes of Don Bosco and St. Peters Prep. Wimberly even had the opportunity to coach Victor Cruz before he joined the New York Giants. With Coach Miello, we didnt run as much. With this camp our conditioning is going to make a difference, said Brandon Davis, a senior wide receiver. I think we got the funniest coach ever. He knows when to have a good time and when to be serious. One of the biggest competitions early in the summer was

for the coveted quarterback position. Veteran Malik Bush graduated in June, leaving Davis and junior Zenal Aga vying for the job. According to Wimberly, Aga proved himself during practice and won the starting job, showing tremendous arm strength during seven-on-seven drills. Aga is going to be our guy, Wimberly said. He has run the offense better. This gives Brandon an opportunity to be a receiver, which he will be in college. We will have a wildcat package for Brandon as well, but Aga is our guy. People told me we had a problem at quarterback. We walked out of camp, and the one guy that stood out was Aga. Wimberlys practices are very fast paced. Even without pads, the Comets get a tremendous workout during their walk-through drills. Theres a lot of learning and new terminology. Just preaching to these guys that we are physical and preaching the basics of football, Wimberly said. I think I always had teams that were very physical. To have them in that mentality, that this will be smash-mouth football, that is what I wanted to bring to it. We scrimmaged Demarest and Nutley and we ran 49 plays in 12 minutes. Rapid fire fast pace and movement is key. We looked like we were in great shape. During the off-season, Wimberley challenged his players to commit themselves to the ETS program, a Teterboro-based training regimen that that demands football players work on speed, agility and strength at least three days a week. So far, it has paid off. I feel like we are more fo-

cused and working harder, said Aga. Its straight business. Last year, we kidded around during practice. I think its experience about winning. This coach is not used to losing. We will take on his personality. This years varsity team features two Don Bosco transfers, Aaron Guzman and Wimberleys own son, Justin. Both players bring speed to the team, and Wimberly believes either can give the Comets game-breaking ability over the course of the season. In addition, the senior and junior top-heavy team welcomes back Mark Jones, Harvey Rison, Elijah Johnson and Jordan Reid, giving Hackensack needed speed at the skill positions. On the defensive side of the ball, Elijah Simmons, Jamal Clark and Jason Smith bring added speed and pressure up front. The cornerback position will be taken up by Jordan Coleman and the lanky Isaiah Parker. Im pleased with speed and pace of defense. You mix in Jason Smith and Derek Williams along with big kid Jamal Clark, we will rotate seven to eight guys on that defensive front, Wimberly said. The fun begins on Sept. 8 when Hackensack visits Fair Lawn, a game that the players are looking very forward to after a long off-season of transition. We want to prove that Hackensack is back. We are not holding back on anything, Davis concluded. The Comets will play their home opener in three weeks against Ridgewood on Sept. 21 at 7 p.m.
