A Prom Night to Remember

by patti mcnamara The skies were blue and the sun was shining on May 22 as Hummers, Cadillac Escalades and Rolls-Royces traveled along Central Avenue in Hackensack carrying sharp-dressed guys and girls ready for the biggest night of their lives so far. The vehicle doors opened and the prom-goers strutted across the parking lot of Mount Olive Baptist Church as family and friends stood behind ropes snapping pictures and

by juliann weston Student achievement, particularly in the Spanish language, was the focus of the Hackensack Board of Educations May 20 public meeting at the high school. The board announced that more than 100 students representing grades 6 through 12 had succeeded in a variety of levels of the online National Spanish Examination administered by 3,800 teachers throughout the United States. The exam measures the proficiency and achievement of students who are studying Spanish. The assessments were based on each students level of language and range from Level 1 through 6, with 6 being basically fluent. Gold awards were presented to those students scoring at or above the 95th percentile; silver, 85th through the 94th percentile; bronze, 75th through 84th percentile; and the honor level, 50th percentile (national average) through the 74th percentile. This year, Hackensack boasted 20 gold winners, 35 silver, 32 bronze winners and 115 honor recipients. First place winners received $100; second place, $75; and third, $50. Winners included Kimberly Morales, Level 1, second place; Jason Meneses, Level 1, third place; Brian Lievano, Level 3, third place; Abigail McFarland, Level 4, second

Regan also said he had received complaints about the garbage trucks near Memorial School between 7 and 9 a.m. Department of Public Works Superintendent Larry Paladino spoke on behalf of three residents of Moonachie Road, who have been complaining about the rain water that floods their property when it runs off the cemetery land. Paladino said he would reach out to county officials to see if catch basins in the area could be cleaned. He pledged to also speak to Hackensack officials about possibly holding the cemetery responsible for water containment.

place; and Steven Lopez, Level 6, second place. It feels really good, said Jason Meneses, a 14-yearold Hackensack Middle School student. Ms. (Frances) Campolo prepared us well. Last year I got honors but I didnt win a prize, and this year I was determined to win honors again. The positive tone of the meeting quickly changed when it was time to vote on resolutions for salary increases, leaves of absence, finance/facility measures and personnel positions that have been either dissolved or reconfigured due to efficiency or management. The heated debates among the splintered board members and the public continued to display the lack of unity that has plagued the board for years. The abolishment of the position of Human Resource Coordinator made room for two new assistant superintendent positions even as the hunt for a permanent superintendent continues. That generated much backlash from those in attendance, who were already upset that they now had to sign in and state what topic they would be speaking about before being heard. Many were confused and angry by the reconfiguration of positions and believed that racism was the motivator behind the boards decisions. We have to learn a little bit more on how to take
better care of one another and not just kick people to the streets, said one irate city resident. You cannot sit there and every time it comes to someone black being fired you have no problem. But when it comes to somebody white being fired, you fill the whole entire gym and it goes on for hours. I think you should look a little bit closer when youre getting ready to cost a person their job and see if theres anything you can do for them. Trustee Carol Martinez asked the board, Are we just hiring minorities, and then later, on letting them go? The public demanded an answer but was given a canned response: We cannot comment on matters of personnel. Finally, Trustee Lara Rodriguez said she was looking forward to working on public relations for the school district and was eager to get good news about Hackensack students out to the media. She has already been working on setting up a YouTube feed and Facebook page and is looking for appropriate clips to be uploaded as well as an email address for the public to send information about student life in and outside of school. Help us help you by letting everyone know how great and fabulous our students are, Rodriguez said.
Eight Years of Success

As our second term nears its close and after eight years serving the great City of Hackensack, we are preparing to leave our seats on the Hackensack City Council with mixed emotions. While we are so proud of our many accomplishments we are aware some significant tasks remain. Admittedly, there have been some difficult times in the council chambers. In some cases, we did not all agree, but through it all, we believe we have done the right things for the city and our residents. Each of us brought different experiences to the table, allowing for open, healthy discussion and informed decisions. Although there has been some misinformation about our administration in the media, we effectively managed the budget, strictly adhering to the state-mandated two percent tax increase cap while still maintaining all city services. This was done through consolidation, reduction of staff, shared services and green energy alternatives. The citys administration offices have received a complete technology overhaul. We improved communication with remote sites, upgraded our backup system, improved the financial/purchasing system and more. Our administration faced some difficult times with the Prospect Avenue parking deck collapse as well as Super Storm Sandy. In the case of the collapse, the response of our emergency personnel as well as from all over the state was top notch. The building department worked carefully and efficiently to assure residents could safely return to their homes as early as possible. As devastating as major storms have become, emergency planning and preparedness have improved. Our emergency personnel and Department of Public Works have worked tirelessly to lessen Mother Natures impact both before and after significant weather events. Our office of emergency management has been instrumental in recapturing monies expended. We have aggressively pursued grant money where available to positively impact our community. The results have provided for continued repaving of our streets even as material costs continue to rise. Improved streetscapes provide safer mobility for our residents. We have continued a citywide initiative to increase handicap accessibility to city facilities, roadways and sidewalks. Green upgrades include the upcoming installation of solar panels; the expansion of the citys recycling program and the addition of green vehicles. The acquisition of the new Cultural Arts Center will expand our ability to provide cultural services and offer our citizens young and old the opportunity to enhance their experience thanks to its close proximity to Main Street and our downtown. We all have families in this city and we know how important recreation is to all the families here. Weve established a Boys and Girls Club which continues to expand its presence. Additionally, we have expanded our recreation programs and we have rehabilitated and refurbished a number of parks in the city. We added functionality to Foschini Park, lighting at Johnson Park and we improved equipment at Union Street and other parks throughout the city. We even created a splash park on Polifly Road. Phases one and two of the River Walk have been completed. While we believe increased ratables will allow the city to continue to address quality of life issues, we also know development is a complicated issue requiring careful and educated attention. Improvement can happen not just through development but with careful consideration of where that development belongs. We were the first to write and implement the abandoned property ordinance. We paved the way for this city and many throughout the nation to take control of their neighborhoods and rid them of abandoned and dilapidated properties. There are no longer transitional/homeless shelters in Hackensack. This is because we worked tirelessly with the county and community agencies to establish the Bergen County Housing, Health and Human Services Center. We never wavered as we successfully defended and ultimately defeated the PC Air Rights case which would have been the first development over railroad tracks in this area and in an area that has already seen enough development. Just this past month of May, the council attended the ribbon cutting for Avalon at Riverside, a beautiful development replacing an old and tired looking hotel. With proximity to retail and transportation, the units are renting almost as quickly as they are completed. The future for this area is bright as rezoning in the Zabriskie Street area will allow for more transit oriented development. Years of research and many steering committee meetings later, a large portion of our downtown was declared an area in need of rehabilitation. Complex issues have been addressed with recent zonning changes, plans for infrastructure improvements, organized and the establishment of a technical review committee. A carefully constructed plan for redevelopment of this Main Street area is well on its way, as ground breaking for a new multi-residential development is scheduled for the first week of June. This site had repeatedly received approvals for developments that were never realized. The City received recognition for its efforts with an award from the New Jersey Planning Officials in April of this year. It is impossible to list all our accomplishments. As we said, some tasks remain, but we are hopeful they will receive continued support and wish the new council the best of luck.

Labrosse Slate Wins Council Race

A team of five candidates led by incumbent Councilman John Labrosse handily won the hotly-contested May 14 Hackensack City Council election. Labrosse, whos been serving on the council for four years, was joined in victory by his Citizens for Change running mates - David Sims, Kathy Canestrino, Leo Battaglia and Rose Greenman. Labrosse, the elections top vote-getter, and his team will replace Mayor Mike Melfi, Councilmen Marlin Townes and Jorge Meneses and Councilwoman Karen Sasso, who did not seek re-election. The five new council members will be sworn into office during a reorganization in July. Citizens for Change was successful in beating the Hackensack Coalition for Open Government, a team comprised of Ken Martin, Jason Nunnermacker, Joanne Mania Colon, Joseph Barreto and Scott Young, as well as an independent, Victor Sasson. Labrosses slate ran on an anti-establishment platform. During the weeks leading up to the election, Hackensack voters were bombarded with fliers and phone calls urging them to select those most capable of leading the city to success. The election comes at a particularly critical time as the city is in the midst of a major downtown rehabilitation plan. The election garnered one of the citys lowest voter turnouts in history. The unofficial results were as follows: John Labrosse 2,006 David Sims 1,911 Kathleen Canestrino 1,908 Leo Battaglia 1,804 Rose Greenman 1,788 Jason Nunnermacker 1,677 Joanne Mania Colon 1,660 Joseph Barreto 1,656 Kenneth Martin 1,651 Scott Young 1,631 Victor Sasson 344

Moussou Bikes to Capital

The Maywood Police Department was recently represented in the Police Unity Tour by Police Officer Walter Moussou. The Police Unity Tour was organized in 1997 by Patrick Montuore of the Florham Park Police Department to raise public awareness about law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty and to honor their sacrifices. What started with 18 riders on a four-day bicycle ride from Florham Park to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington has grown into eight chapters boasting more than 1,600 members nationwide who make the trip annually. Moussou rode with Chapter 1 from East Hanover to Washington, clocking more than 300 miles in four days. Moussou was able to raise $2,345 for the expansion, maintenance and preservation of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial. Overall, the Police Unity Tour donated $1.72 million to the fund, bringing its total donations to nearly $14 since being founded.

Hackensack firefighters respond to a fire at 236 Main St. At 8 a.m. on May 10, Hackensack firefighters responded to a two-alarm blaze at a tax office located at 236 Main St. A city worker had detected the odor of smoke, noticed black stains on the windows and phoned police. The firefighters of Ladder 1 immediately began to ventilate the first floor store as Engine 4 stretched a hose inside. Rescue 1 began searches on the second floor of the building and checked how much the fire had extended. Additional Hackensack firefighters were called to the scene as well as personnel from Teaneck and Englewood. The fire was contained to the rear of the first floor of 236 Main, but offices on the second floor sustained smoke damage. The fire was brought under control within 40 minutes, and firefighters remained on the scene to help workers retrieve items from their stores and offices. The cause has not been determined.

I get asked this question all the time. The answer is yes. I suggest everyone undergo an annual colon cleanse and liver detoxification. All of us are exposed to chemicals every day and when you look at the many sources of chemical exposure and multiply it by time you will become toxic. Air pollution, preservatives, dyes, food enhancers, medications, alcohol, chemicals in our water, hormones in beef, mercury in fish, etc. The list can go on. The liver, kidney and skin all breakdown any chemical compound the enters the blood stream. The liver is the main organ for detoxification and that process has two phases. In Phase I, the liver breaks down the fat soluble chemicals to water soluble by utilizing cytochrome p450 pathway. In Phase II, the water soluble compounds are broken down to even smaller compounds to be excreted by the kidneys. The problem is the liver is overworked and eventually becomes less efficient and in time loses its ability to keep up with the demand. The end result is you become toxic and feel sick. Here are some common symptoms of toxicity: headaches, fatigue, sleep disturbances, allergies, GI distress, anxiety and confusion. There are many vitamin manufacturers who claim they have the ultimate liver cleanser. I recommend the following because these manufacturers are the best for quality control and high nutritional production standards. Metagenics Ultraclear, Xymogen Opticleanse GHI and Stan-

This is the time to check for the presence of heart disease, high blood pressure and cancer. Patients in this age group should visit their physician every three years for a check-up. Men should have a rectal exam to check for colon and prostate cancer. Women should be checked annually with a pelvic exam that includes a Pap test and a breast exam. Once a patient enters his or her forties, the physical and blood tests should be administered every two years. At this point, a patient should be evaluated with a chest X-ray and EKG. The patient should visit a family practice physician who they feel comfortable speaking with about any health concerns or questions. In their fifties, patients should keep their vaccinations up to date. A tetanus booster should be administered every 10 years. Flu and pneumonia vaccines should be considered.

Hackensack Mourns Loss of Michael DArminio

by JOY BELGIOVINE Michael DArminio, lifelong Hackensack resident and past mayor, passed away on May 22, leaving behind a legacy of community service that spanned decades. People like Mickey are what make Hackensack great, said Mayor Michael Melfi. He was a devoted public servant who spent his life improving the country, the City of Hackensack and so many local organizations. DArminio graduated from Hackensack High School in 1947 and was a star athlete in both basketball and baseball. DArminio served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War from 1951 to 1953, rising to the rank of staff sergeant. After his time in the service, he came home, married and worked in the family construction business. He remained at DArminio and Sons until he retired in 1993. Among the many titles DArminio held, he is best known as the mayor of Hackensack, serving from 1973 to 1977. DArminio also served on the Hackensack Housing Authority as chairman and board member, and was very involved in UNICO, serving on its National Board of Directors. He was the UNICO District Governor from 1981 to 1982 and UNICO National President from 1990 to 1991. In 2004, DArminio was presented with the Dr. Anthony Vastola Award for his dedication and commitment to upholding the values of good citizenship and UNICOs motto of Service Above Self. The Vastola Award is the highest award granted to a UNICO member. He also acted as a trustee of St. Francis Church for 46 years where he was founder of the churchs fundraising projects. DArminio served on the citys zoning, planning and library boards. As mayor, DArminio was instrumental in the development and reconstruction of Columbus Park. He helped

Mickey loved his family, loved his community and was proud of his heritage. He was a pillar of the DArminio extended family, said Jack Zisa, former Hackensack mayor. He served his community as mayor, as well as being a devoted volunteer for many of Hackensacks boards and service organizations. And he served his heritage as a leader in the Italian-American community, both locally and nationally, serving as the president of UNICO National. Mike will be missed by many. DArminio is survived by May, his wife of 60 years, two sons, Richard and his wife Manuela of Ramsey, and Michael and his wife Donna of South Hackensack. He leaves behind four granddaughters, Danielle, Kristen, Nicole and Erica, and a great-granddaughter, Madysen. He is also survived by his siblings, Lee DArminio of Hackensack, Angelo DArminio of Paramus, Angela Donaldson of Easton, Pa. and the late Carmen DArminio and Anthony DArminio.

During the Rotary conference in Mystic, Conn., on May 18, District Gov. Bonnie Sirower recognized Sutherland for his continued work installing water filters in the Dominican Republic, as well as for his many community service endeavors in New Jersey. Sutherland is a volunteer emergency medical technician and sponsors little league baseball. Water is a main area of focus for Rotary International, and the majority of people in the Dominican Republic do not have direct access to clean drinking water. Sutherland brought the solution of installing water filters back to New Jersey after a trip to the Caribbean nation, and now 11 Rotary clubs in northern New Jersey are involved in the project.

On May 29, the Maywood Police Department arrested the boyfriend-girlfriend duo of Samantha Dixon, 30, and Lamont Moseley, 28, both of Paterson, in connection with the robbery of the TD Bank on Maywood Avenue on March 27.

They were willing to give their life for your life, for your freedom and your way of life.

Seeking Kit, Prefab Homeowners

by mary boggia In the early 1900s, potential homeowners could use mail-order catalogs to purchase a kit to build a house. Companies such as Sears, Montgomery Ward and Aladdin Homes offered 12,000-piece kits, which included an instruction booklet on how to build a house for the do-it-yourselfer, plus lumber and hardware, etc. The kit usually arrived by rail boxcar. Many of these owner-constructed homes are found within a few miles of railroad lines, so Maywood was a prime location for building this less-expensive housing. Sears houses are common in northern New Jersey because there was a company mill in Newark. If you are living or lived in a catalog/kit house, the Maywood Historical Committee would like to know. Where in town is/was it located. Do you remember helping your

Prefabricated home from the Montgomery Ward catalog. parents build the house? Do you have photos? Is there existing documentation such as the instruction booklet, sales receipt and the like? Who has owned the house over the years? Are there other stories about the house youd like to share? Is your house a prefab manufactured house, prebuilt in complete sections and then transported to the lot where it was assembled? Do you recall the day the wide-load trucks came to town bringing the pieces to be assembled? Can you give MHC background details of the manufacturer, price, how long it took from order to delivery, etc. Of course, photos and location are important details to be recorded, and that information is welcome. These houses in town are part of the history of Maywood, but its the people of the borough who retain the stories and details of history. If you want to share your information about a catalog house or prefab home, send an e-mail to the MHC at www.maywoodhistory. com. Photos may be sent to photos@maywoodhistory. com or call Carol Dass at 201-845-8830. Thank you for relating history and helping the Maywood Historical Committee in its mission of Saving Maywoods Yesterdays for Tomorrow.

Teterboro Chrysler Jeep Dodge Rams Alan Graf and Sal Anicito. by joy belgiovine We are just two everyday guys who love cars and love coming to work every day, Alan Graf says of himself and his partner, Sal Anicito, who co-own the Teterboro Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram dealership in Little Ferry. Now celebrating its 50th anniversary, the Chrysler dealership was originally located in Ridgefield Park but Graf relocated to the bustling Little Ferry location right next to the airport in 1968. In 1992, Anicito merged his own dealership with Grafs, forming Teterboro Chrysler Jeep. A year and a half ago, they acquired the Dodge Ram franchise. We have plans to broaden the Dodge truck sales in the future, Graf said. Plans also include keeping the dealership in the family, with Grafs son, Alan Jr., serving as comptroller, and Anicitos son, David, working as the dealerships sales manager. We are a leader in North Jersey and have tripled our business in the last four years, Graf, said, citing the dealerships outstanding track record, including earning the Chrysler Award of Excellence and status as an Elite Chrysler Five Star Dealership. Our excellent service department, fair pricing and aggressive sales team sets us apart from the other dealerships in the area, Graf added. We consistently have received top awards on a national level for our service department. With more than 200 new cars and 60 to 80 used cars on the lot at any time, Graf strives to ensure the best selection, service and pricing for customers. We have a special finance division dedicated to helping our customers during these challenging financial times, he said. Weve been doing this for a long time, and we will do whatever it takes to take care of the customer. Teterboro Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram is located at 469 Route 46 East, Little Ferry.

Salon Shampoo Celebrates Decade Bill OSheas: A Blooming Business

Nicole Cruickshank and Keri Hopper, co-owners of Salon Shampoo in Rochelle Park, believe in both working and playing together. Friends for more than 20 years, the two met at their first salon job out of school, and they later worked together in Ridgewood, under Tabatha Coffey, the infamous salon maven of the hit Bravo reality show, Tabathas Salon Takeover. A decade ago, Cruickshank and Hopper turned their lifelong dream of opening their own shop into reality. I cant believe its been 10 years already, and that I had the guts to open my own place at 23 years old, Cruickshank explained. What Keri and I have built is really special. We are all best friends in the salon and we have so many longtime, faithful customers that have been with us through the years. Everyone knows everyone here and our business has continued to grow because of the referrals we by joy belgiovine Bill OSheas Florist and Gifts has been part of the Hasbrouck Heights community for more than 40 years. Originally opened by Bill OShea in 1969, John and Linda Kosakowski, who worked under OShea as teens, officially took over the business in 2009. Both floral designers, the Kosakowskis are known for their custom arrangements, unique gifts and Johns attention-grabbing seasonal storefront displays. Open seven days a week, Bill OSheas Florist and Gifts strives to be a one-stop-shop for finding that special something for that special someone. In addition to its floral designs, Bill OShea offers a vast giftware selection including silk floral arrangements, pottery, candles, soaps and lotions, artisan jewelry, chocolates, gourmet cookie mixes, home dcor, garden accessories and more. Linda Kosakowski makes it her business to ensure her clients get exactly what they want. A few months ago, I get this phone call on a Sunday afternoon and I spent about 30 minutes on the phone with this client. He wasnt certain about what he wanted and I patiently spoke to him, figuring out what he was envisioning, Linda Kosakowski explained. Turns out, it was Tony Orlando, the singer. He used to live in the area and was visiting. Since then, hes called and had us put together more arrangements for him. But you dont have to be celebrity to get the celebrity treat-

The very best part of this job is serving our customers, Linda Kosakowski said. We have customers that come in and stay for an hour. No matter why they are here, they always leave feeling better. Proud of the personal attention and comfortable feel of the store, Linda said that before the digital age, she could even tell you everyone clients home address. We havent really changed much, we just built upon Bills model, she said. We constantly work at it, not in it. In keeping with the times, the Kosakowskis have embraced social media as a new way to connect with their customers. The Bill OSheas Florist and Gifts Facebook page actively keeps fans informed of specials and store news, and, recently, John Kosakowski hosted two floral design classes that quickly filled up. Because of the great response, more classes will be scheduled in the future. A natural teacher and philanthropist, John Kosakowski has invited many local Girl Scout troops from northern New Jersey to visit the store. They are able to earn their flower badges by creating their own custom floral arrangements. And for the last few years, Bill OSheas Florist and Gifts has sold red ribbons from Thanksgiving through the beginning of February to benefit the Center for Food Action in Englewood. Kosakowski then uses the ribbons as decorations, displaying them up and down the Boulevard. Bill OSheas Florist and Gifts also sponsors several local Little League teams and offers a special promotion for the area high schools during prom season. If students purchase their prom flowers at Bill OSheas, the store donates 10 percent of the purchase back to their high schools Project Graduation.

Local Schools Named Newsweeks Best

by joy belgiovine Newsweek and its online presence, The Daily Beast, recently published their list of the best 2,000 public high schools in the nation and three local high schools have made the cut. They have proven to be the most effective in turning out collegeready grads. The list is based on six key components: Graduation rate, college acceptance rate, Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB) or Advance International Certificate of Education (AICE, tests taken per student, average SAT/ACT scores, average AP/IB/AICE scores, and percent of students enrolled in at least one AP/IB/AICE course. Bergen County Academies in Hackensack ranked No. 26 overall in the United States, also coming in No. 4 in the Northeast. Bergen County Technical High School in Teterboro placed No. 74 overall and No. 20 in the Northeast. Paramus High School was ranked No. 705 overall while Hackensack High School came in at No. 1,374 overall. Bergen County Academies dropped slightly in rank as last year it placed at No. 21, while Bergen County Technical High School and Paramus moved up on the list in 2013, from last years rank of No. 104 and No. 754, respectively. The staff, students, faculty and administration are all very excited about being among the top 2,000 high schools, Hackensack High School Principal James Montesano said. While Hackensack High School has made the list three times previously, Montesano said its been several years since the school has been recognized. All of our schools work really hard to produce these great results, he continued. And our high school community as a whole does a really nice job getting our students ready for their next endeavor, not only academically, but socially as well. The data analyzed was self-reported by each school for the 201112 school year. Newsweek said it invited more than 5,000 high schools to participate in the survey this year, and nearly 2,500 responded. All public high schools in the U.S. were eligible. Bergen County high schools that were among Newsweeks Top 1,000 included: Glen Rock High School, Glen Rock ( No. 218), Tenafly High School, Tenafly (No. 253), High Tech High School, North Bergen (No. 436), Pascack Hills High School, Montvale (No. 345), Cresskill High School, Cresskill (No. 361), Northern Valley Regional High School, Demarest (No. 351), Mahwah High School, Mahwah (No. 615), Ramsey High School, Ramsey (No. 805), River Dell Regional High School, Oradell (No. 819), Northern Valley Regional High School, Old Tappan (No. 831) and Fair Lawn High School, Fair Lawn (No. 876).

Merchants Support Foot Patrols

Since its establishment in 2004, the Upper Main Alliance has requested a greater police presence on Main Street and the downtown business district. While the district is generally a low-crime area, a regular police presence would increase a sense of security for shoppers and visitors. In particular, our membership has requested foot patrol officers to regularly walk the business district. In doing so, they will become familiar with the merchants, shopkeepers and patrons in the downtown. The feeling is that these types of patrols would also reduce incidents of panhandling, loitering and other disruptive behavior that can occur in any shopping area. Many other managed districts are regularly policed in this way to ensure a safe, family-friendly street for shoppers, employees and visitors. With Hackensacks downtown now being considered by developers for large scale rehabilitation, it is more important than ever to show the development community and the public at large that Hackensack is willing to go the extra mile to create a welcoming secure shopping environment. We support Hackensacks efforts to bring regular, ongoing walking police patrols to Main Street. We encourage our businesses and residents to show their support for this effort as well.

Hackensack High School first baseman Chris Cole, who had three hits against Northern Valley. by jason cohen After struggling all spring with an inexperienced team filled with primarily sophomores and juniors, the Hackensack High School boys varsity baseball teams season came to a disappointing end on May 17 at Foschini Field. The Comets lost to Northern Valley RegionalOld Tappan 12-7, finishing the 2013 season with a 4-16 record. The Friday night game got off to a bad start for Hackensack as starting pitcher Nakwan Moodie was unable to get anyone out and lacked command. The Knights pounded him, drew walks and stole bases. Moodie was visibly rattled, and, by the time the Comets came to bat in the bottom of the first, they were already trailing 4-0. Hackensack couldnt muster a hit through two innings. Finally, Coach Gerry Carroll replaced Moodie with Jose Rodriguez in the third inning. However, Old Tappan continued to dominate, increasing the lead to 7-0, putting Hackensack in a deep hole. Unfortunately its been like this most of the season for us, Carroll said. With only four seniors and usually just two that start, we try to get the most out of them. The Comets finally got a hit when first baseman Chris Cole lined a double into the outfield in the third inning and was later driven home on a sacrifice fly. Unfortunately, the excitement was short lived as Rodriguez allowed two more runs in the top of the fourth, giving Old Tappan a 9-1 lead. Carroll said while he was not going to make excuses for his boys performance, he did say this was the Comets fourth game in five days. Behind an RBI double by Cole, a single by Vincent Lalumia and two costly errors by the third baseman for Old Tappan, the Comets rallied to cut the deficit to 9-5. But the Knights knocked in three more runs in the sixth inning, giving them a 12-5 lead. The Comets rallied in the bottom of the seventh, scoring two runs, but it wasnt enough. Final score: 12-7. Coles said he knew his teammates were anxious at the start of the game but they needed to remain patient. I wanted to stay calm and help my team, he said. I knew theyd throw outside and I wouldnt get anything inside. I was waiting for the outside pitch and waiting for the fastball to take the other way. Next year, I think were going to be very good. Carroll said his boys have improved dramatically from the beginning of the season and is confident good things are on the horizon.

Dursos Engineering, Technology Teaching Efforts Recognized

Ronald Durso, a Maywood resident serving as district supervisor of science, technology and engineering education for the Fair Lawn public schools, was recently honored by the New Jersey Technology and Engineering Education Association at its annual conference. Durso, who began his teaching career as a biology teacher at Hackensack High School, was nominated by Fair Lawn High School teacher Steven Mondadori. Two of Dursos goals were to offer more pre-engineering opportunities for Fair Lawn students and to offer a program on home repair. This year, the Fair Lawn Board of Education approved the creation of these two new courses, STEM Lab Honors and Basic Home Ownership and Repair. Fair Lawn High School continues to offer a program in woods technology, technology and design, and CADD. Durso has also worked to forge partnerships with local companies such as Sandvik Coromant and The College of New Jersey, Montclair State University, William Paterson University and Bergen Community College to provide science and technology engineering students with additional opportunities.
