B y C lau d e C a ll In the late 1950s, the Soviet Union

launched its Sputnik satellite, thus propelling the world into the Space Age.

At the time, the news that such a thing had happened was considered by many to be a “wake-up" call that suggested that students were going into the world ill-prepared for the rapid advances In science that were sure to take place. Many schools, including Lyndhurst High School, took this ad- vifce to heart and put the build ing through a major renovation, creating a Science W ing in 1959 to ensure that students were gening a cutting-edge education. The wing was created with the understanding that, in a few years, another floor would be added as extra capacity was needed.

Politics and school budgets are fickle things, however, and it took 40 years for the opportunity to make those additions a possibility. However, with the state legislature’s passage o f a school construction b ill earlier this year. Lyndhurst, with the consent o f its voters, w ill finally get the upgrad­ing to its science wing that it needs so badly.

A t a recent Board o f Education meet­ing, the Addition/Renovation plan for Lyndhurst High School was unveiled. The plan is twofold: first, the major project o f upgrading the Science Wing and the Performing Arts areas; and second, to complete general renova­tions throughout the building. The first plan (Plan “ A ” ) involves reno­vating the first floor o f the Science Wing, creating general classrooms, an art classroom and an auxiliary gym­nasium, along with two teacher prepa­ration rooms and a Small Group In­struction classroom, which can be used for tutoring sessions or self-con­tained Special Education classes. In

addition to this, the long-awaited sec­ond floor would be added to the Sci­ence Wing, which would create five state-of-the-art science labs and three general classrooms, rhe labs would also have adjaccnt prep rooms, so that experiments can be set ujf prior to class.

In addition to upgrading the Science Wing, problems involving the Music and Drama areas o f the school would be addressed. This entails expanding

“The state is offering us about 30 percent. I f we don 7 put this through this year, the money will go somewhere else. ”

~Superintendent Joe Abate

the part o f the building where the au­ditorium now stands. While the audi­torium itself would not change much, the stage would be renovated. In ad­dition, a new band room and chorus room would be added on, plus dress­ing rooms for theatrical use. Four practice rooms are also incorporated into this design, thus giving students and teachers the appropriate space that they have needed for so long.

School Superintendent Joseph Abate describes the necessity o f the construction: “ It w ill give us additional class space, additional class offer­ings. it w ill reduce class size! and w ill provide students with a state-of-the- art science facility," he said.

Plan "B ” is somewhat broader, in­volving upgrades to the build ing’s electrical services, installing “technol­ogy w iring” and ensuring that the building is within codes for overall safety and handicap access. Since the building was first erected, increas­ing ly greater demands arc being

T r a s h h a u l e r c r u s h e d b y

t r u c k i n f r e a k a c c i d e n tplaced upon its electrical systems, and resources are getting critical. Since the building overall is undergoing what could be defined as “extensive” reno­vation. the need to make it more AD A (Americans with Disabilities Act)- compliant becomes more o f a require­ment.

What are the costs involved with such a big project? For the entire cost o f both plans A and B, the total price tag has been estimated at $8,860,000. O f that figure, however, the state w ou ld k ick in grant fund ing o f S2.666.880, which means that the to­tal cost to the taxpayer would be re­duced to $6,193.120. Over a 20-year payoff period for the bond, that breaks down to roughly $50 per year for each household. (Naturally, some assumptions must be made to arrive at these figures, but they are gener­ally considered accurate.)

The way the referendum is written, voters are not given a choice between plans A and B; rather, they are given a choice o f either A and B together, A only, or neither. The cost for plan A by it s e lf has been estimated at $6,716,000, with the taxpayer share o f that cost being $4,834,720. Because the project would be smaller in scope, the state’s portion would be propor­tionately smaller.

The time is ripe for this project, says Abate, because o f the appropriation b ill passed by the state. "The state is offering us about 30 percent," he says. “ If we don’ t put this through this year, the money w ill go somewhere else.” In that case, he explains, the entire cost o f such a renovation w ill have to be borne by the taxpayer.

Ihe referendum is scheduled for Dec. 12. Polls w ill be open from 2 p.m. until 8 p.m.

A fire that ignited the second and third floors o f a two-family home in Rutherford was the subjcct o f an ar­son investigation on Nov. 22.

“G iven the extent o f the fire upon our arrival and being it was under renovation gave just cause for an in­vestigation,,y said Rutherford Fire O f­ficial Paul Dansbach.

Assistant Prosecutor M ichae l M aher o f the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office, said so far that the blaze at 14 Elm St. is deemed acci­dental in nature.

The fire was called into the police department at around 11:30 p.m. and was brought down in 45 minutes said Dansbach. The blaze originated in a second floor bedroom.

Three towns assisted in extinguish­ing the fire, including East Rutherford,

• Wallington, and Lyndhurst. Approxi­mately 40 fire fighters from the Ruth­erford Fire Department led by Fire Ch ief Ray Moe, were on the scene from a ll fiv e companies. The Wallington Fire Fighters Assistant Search Team (FAST) were there in

case they were needed to go inside and rescue any fire fighters. The Ru­therford EM S was also on hand.

Dansbach said that being the house was under renovation, a fire gains in­tensity very quickly since the wood framing is exposed.

“ Ihe blaze just went right up to the attic because the walls and ceilings were open,” said Dansbach, who added that there is extensive damage to the second and third floors o f the house.

During the fire, three fire fighters were injured. Firefighter Vinnie Callan fell through the attic steps and hurt his knee, Capt. Fred Liller received hot embers on his neck, and Lt. Tom Twist fractured his shoulder.

One fire company remained on the scene until 7:30 a.m. while the arson squad Conducted their investigation. The owners o f the house, Alex Ned and Steve Kosovich, had been in the process o f adding a rear addition on to the second floor and putting a dor­mer on the third floor.

Felician Cross C ountry team will head to nationalsIn its inaugural season, the Felician

College Men’ s Cross Country team has been named A ll Conference Team after winning the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Cham­pionship on Saturday, Nov. 3. With nine Felician College runners finish­ing in the top ten, the athletes were named to the A l l Conference Team, recognizing them as the best in the conference. Ricky Pfeifer, a Felician College freshman, was the Individual Conference Champion afltl was named M V P o f the meet. Coach Bob Symons was named C A C C Coach o f the Year. Seeded first going in, the Golden Fal­cons competed against the 48 runners making up the six teams, and com­pleted the tournament with a total 16 points - one point shy o f a perfect

score o f 15. The next closest competi­tor had 65 points.

By finishing first, the Golden Fal­cons will advance to the national Con­ference championship to be held at the University o f Wisconsin Parkside on Saturday, Nov. 11. They w ill com­pete against 28 teams from the Na­tional Association o f Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). “This w ill be our first time out there, and finishing in the top 15 is a realistic goal for us,” said Coach Symons who also serves as Athletic Director at Felician Col­lege.

Felician College’s women’s cross country team earned third place in the regional championship, accomplish­ing their gpal going in. “They ran well and it was quite an accomplishment

for this new team,” said Symons not­ing that the runners improved on their best times.

Hired in 1003 by Felician College to start an athletic program, Bob Symons has grown athletics from a one-sport program, to an eight team program. Coach Symons brings 20 years of coaching and Athletic Administration to the program having coached a three-time Olympic medalist (one gold, two silvers), five National Champions and over 40 A ll American Cross Coun­try and Track Athletes. Bob Symons received a Bachelor o f Science degree in Physical Education and Sociology from William Jewell College in 1077, and a Masters degree in Sports Psy­chology and Administration from the University o f Kansas in 1080.

F e l ic ia n F a lc o n s c o m p e te in c h a m p io n s h ipComing o ff a 1-0 win against num­

ber-one-seeded Teikyo-Post Univer­sity in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Championship (CACC) game on Saturday, Nov. 4, Felician College’s men’s soccer team has much to celebrate as it captures the CAC C championship. The game was won in quadruple overtim e when John McGarry, a sophomore forward from Toronto, Canada, scored five minutes into A e fourth overtime. He was as­sisted by N ick D ’Anello, a junior midfielder from Montreal, Canada. Hector Kote i, a sophomore goal keeper from Newark, NJ, was named the C A C C tournament most valuable player having saved a penalty shot in the first ha lf o f the game and havingonly given up one goal in the two pre­v ious tournam ent games. Kote i starred the year as a midfielder and moved into the goal keeper position early in the season when the position opened up.

Coming o f f two conference wins where the Golden Falcons dominated both games, the team had confidence goufg into the championship even though they had lost to Teikyo-Post earlier in the season. “ Our first goal o f the season was to win the confer­ence championship and we did that.

Now we’re looking forward to the next game. We’re not done yet. We still have to work to do, and our goal w ill be to advance as far as we can," said Assistant Coach M ike Mueller who transitioned from Felician College soc­cer player to coach last year. The depth o f the team and the strength o f the players in all positions resulted in a collective effort that helped win the game.

Led by Head Coach Anthony Scorciolla, the Falcons finished the regular season with a record 10 wins, six losses, and one tie, earning the third seed in the C A C C conference tournament. Hosting the quarter-final game against Goldey-Beacom College o f Delaware on Oct. 31, the Falcons emerged victorious with a 3-1 win and advanced to the sem i-fina ls at Caldwell College on Nov. 2, winning 3-0. With 16 returning players and just two new recruits, Scorciolla says the strength o f the team has been in its experience and confidence. “ It’s been a stellar season,” said Scorciolla who has been head soccer coach for the past four years. Named to the CACC A ll-Conference Team were Gary Hanly, a sophomore forward from Rosscommon, Ireland, and Kwame Telemaque, a sophomore defender

from Pierrefonds, Canada.The Golden Falcons Women’s Soc­

cer Team also finished the regular sea­son with a record o f 10 wins, six loses, and one tie. They also earned die third seed in the C A C C tournament and played the number six seed Goldey- Beacom College on Oct. 30. In a hard- fought contest, the Golden Falcons came out on top by a score o f 1-0, with the goal scored by sophomore fo rw ard An na Barsch o f West M ilford. With this victory, the women moved into the semi-iiaal round and lost against number twp seed Geor­gian Court College on Nov. 1. A t the conc lu s ion o f the ir season, the women’ s soccer team received the Conference’s Sportsmanship Award with Teikyo Post University. Junior Caran Godw in o f C liffw ood , and Sophomore Valerie Esposito o f Clifton were named to the C A C C All-Confer­ence Team.

With Felician College’s athletic pro­gram just five years old, the men’s soccer team w il l go down in the college’s history as one o f the first teams to compete at the champion­ship level. The men’s cross country team, in its inaugural season, com­peted in and won a C A C C champion­ship meet that same afternoon.

' ßiilletinNA comes out a winner in soccer and volleyballThe North Arlington Vikings Boy’s

Soccer team concluded their best sea­son in the school’s history with a trip to the Group I, Final 4.

The 17-5 V ik ings faced 16-6-1 Whippany Park in the state champi­onship sem i-fina l round o f the NJSIAA/PSE&G Group I Tournament.

Whippany Park blanked the Vikings 2-0 in exciting soccer action that saw the V ik ings hang tough against a strong W hippany Park club. Whippany, a Group I school, com­petes against G roup 4 Chatham, Morristown and Pingry to increase their level o f p lay against smaller schools. Whippany lost those games but their speed was much quicker than North Arlington, partially due to the level o f contention during the regular season.

A lesson can be learned from the loss to Whippany and coach Don Manfria would be wise in arranging a few independent games for the V i­kings against larger schools.The success o f this Viking team was

a product o f past Viking teams that have been successful. The Vikings are losing 10 starters and Coach Manfria, who took over three seasons ago, will have many challenges next year. Hopefully a sectional title will breathe

Record’s Bergen Group I -2.

In volleyball, senior Sharon Guise fought to the very end and left noth­ing on her home court as the Vikings was eliminated by their rival, the Secaucus patriots. The Patriots squeezed by the Vikings 4-15,15-12,15-7 to end their chance for a Group I state title.

A lack o f Viking depth became evi­dent after the opening game win, which was spearheaded by the mon­ster play o f 6-foot 2-inch Guise. The Vikings (21-3) crushed Secaucus in Game 1 ,15-4, with Guise dominating the play. Guise was aided by longtime friend and neighbor Celine Lee. The setting o f Lee, combined with the blocking and kills by Guise, put the Vikings on the verge o f a state title match.

The Vikings took a 7-1 lead in the second game and appeared headed for a sweep. An exhausted Guise fell ill during the 2nd game, but contin­ued to play. The Patriots seized the sudden sickness that struck Guise and rallied fora 15-2 win.

The Secaucus comeback in the 2nd game saw the 7-1 Viking lead become a 9-8 Patriots lead before Celine Lee stepped up big time and got the V i­kings ahead 11 - 1 OfThe pressure on the Vikings was relentless due mainly to the front play o f Secaucus.

The Patriots big game experience seemed to make a difference as the mounting pressure on North Arling­ton proved the turning point. The Patriots stole the 2nd game 15-12, a game they trailed 7-1. The Vikings fell 15-7 in the deciding 3rd game.

The Vikings had a fine season, reaching 13th in the Star Ledger Top 20 Poll. Guise was selected Second Team A ll County. Guise helped lead the Vikings to one o f their finest vol­leyball seasons ever. She said she looks forward to playing in college. Coach Cooper should be able to keep the volleyball success going with some recreation support in the lower grades. A successful high school pro­gram needs a sound feeder program to establish a winning tradition. The mixture o f good coaching and a sound recreation program could help to build future high school championships.

NAHS 9th graders get new art appreciation class- - (DBAF.) methodology. * bnnon.n.lv throush exoression

Thanks to the North Arlington Pub­lic Schools voter support for the sec­ond question on the budget, students in the North Arlington High School ninth grade w ill be given the oppor­tunity to be exposed to a range o f skills involved in art appreciation/his­tory, art criticism, aesthetics, and vo­cabulary. Students’ previous art skills w ill be reinforced through a variety o f exercises based on both the NJ Core Curriculum Content Standards and D isc ip lin e Based A rt Education

D B AE consists o f four major com­ponents: art history/appreciation, art Criticism, artistic aesthetics, and art appreciation. These components will be combined briefly with the main overall, and these areas w ill generate an overview o f the importance o f art, while allowing students to recognize art in their environment. It w ill also allow students to expand their com­munication skills through writing and

most importantly through expression. They will gain a more advanced work­ing knowledge o f how to create a project: to plan, execute, and to judge.

By incorporating media, written ma­terial, and hands on projects, the North Arlington ninth grade student w ill be exposed briefly to various areas in a limited time frame o f approximately seven weeks o f art education. Ihe objective is to prepare students for future state testing in the arts.

I enjoy letters like these from a lovely girl, Ann Marie DeCarlo, a pu- pil I had in the eighth grade o f Roosevelt School. She asked me to give her a recommendation to enter a school lor nursing. In my letter I said Ann Marie was the kind o f girl I would like as a nurse i f l needed one. I never heard if she became a nurse but when I was in the recovery room o f a hos­pital, after an operation, her daughter Janice was my nurse. She told me that her mother had become a nurse be­fore her. I was delighted to get this letter f rom her and hope you enjoy it as much as I.

Dear C harlotte,I love reading your column when I

get a copy o f the Commercial Leader.Miiny fond memories return when I

think o f you as my 7th and 8th grade teacher in Roosevelt School I remem­ber the day you came to my house lor lunch You were and are still the greatest teacher. M y daughter Janice

says heljo and hopes you are in good health.

Thank you and God bless you.Ann Marie DeCarlo Vena

Thank you, Ann, for reminding me o f some wonderful events in my life. Letters like thefce make a memory of my teaching days worthwhile. Thank you again.

When I see all those Halloween and Thanksgiving pumpkins abput to be discarded now Ctoi^mas decora­tions are in order, I wonder what is to become o f those beautiful pumpkins. Are they to be thrown away to rot? People usually go to the farms to pick their own pumpkin.

I remember when I used the Hal­loween pumpkin for our Thanksgiv­ing pumpkin pies. It was not Hianks- giving i f we did not have pumpkin pies.

I remember how difficult they were

to peel. Now I know that before I try to peel squash. I boil it and it is easy totake th e to u g h s k in o t f . I wonder whv I

did not think o f that ve rs ago when Islaved over peeling the pumpkin. Howmuch easier it would li ve been to peel it after it had been softened by Moiling. No matter how hard it -''as to peel we had pumpkin pie made trom the pump- kin that had adorned oi r porch earlier

in the season.

Several o f my relativ plants that they grew tiful eggplants resting tor for a week. I deci thing with them. I t» started to take theskir U) my sister and she s.. the skin off." I decide« for myself. I sliced it. in beaten egg and bt since I do not like to the slices in the oven * that even if I did pu* 1 baking dish with a slu<. it and another slice <>! covered it with spaj. not really like it with tin I know that most people

I guess it is not ea<s I r me to get accustomed to new i s o f doing

gave me egg- td three beau- my refrigera­to do some­one out and when I talked " I never take nake it easier I 1 the slices crumbs and

kxJ. baked t. nere to say

i slices on a heese over

. -plant and ' auce I did v n on though ■k * it that way.

That's it. Now I know I'm an old grump. 1 do not understand big busi­ness.

When I call a number and the an­swer comes back, if you want this department press I and they go on fast as fury listing the departments, not even giving you a chance to decide which department you want even i f you did know.

When I hear all that gobblcdy- gook I usually end up not gening the number at all. even i f l did know the department I wanted in the first place.

Why can't they make it like they used to? Just call a number and in a few minutes a cheery answer, the person you want answers the phone, as it should be without all the pretense.

I decided I had done enough studying and made up my mind and di<J not care about learning to use the computer. When I hear every sentence ending with "dot com." I suffaenly decided maybe I made the wrtag decision and should start to

leam more about the new ons.If little children can U5 whycan't I! I know. Just lazy all.

Maybe the fortune te> tlan-tic City was right. Diirin 'iersconvention at Atlantic C i ppedat a booth where a fortu. wasstanding outside his st« <kingpassers-by for their birthd i tell­ing them about therm .. Helooked at me and asked m thdayand when I told him he sait ou are the laziest person who e\ isted.And a poor cook too. If nadeapple dumplings you cot >uncethem across the wall and t « ouldcome back intact.”

Now I ask my friends, a' lazi­est person? A poor cook t . don't believe I am.

It is gening to be the tin o f yearwhen people start to think *ut holi­day goodies, the cakes, cc ies and gifts they make, t

It rem inds me o f m friendCatherine, who taught wit ine andmarried a man who ran aco *y storein Chester. N.J. After he di ¡teranthe store herself

She wrote and asked me to come visit her a certain November week­end to make fruit cakes for the holi­

days.It was a bitter cold Saturday after­

noon. I had a course at New York University in the morning. At 4 o’clock I took a train at the Lyndhurst station to go to Washington, N J . On the train I realized that I had not writ­ten to say I was coming. Suppose she spent the weekend w ith her family in Pennsy lvania? I could scarcely wait for the train to reach its destination, the last stop.

The station was in the woods and every one got o ff the train. In no time there w as no one left there. I was fran­tic. If I had told her I was coming she would have been at the train to meet me. I ran to the phone booth, did not even have her phone number and luckily she had not gone away for the w eekend She came to get me im­mediately.

We made the fruit cakes on Sunday morning and my sister picked me up to take me home in the afternoon. What an experience! 1 don't know what happened to the fruit cakes. I never saw them. I do know I spent a very cold weekend making them.

recently announced a toll and fare hike that surprised a lot of people. Increases anywhere from 38 percent all the way up to 100 percent were proposed, a jump that practically begged everyone to wonder if the PA-N Y/N J had com­pletely lost its mind. The announcement even forced Governor Whitman to do something that no politician likes to do: backpedal.

Her first reaction was to literally wince and say that it seemed “enormous” and “hard to justify." Then, a moment later, she tried to ra­tionalize a proposed hike by saying that it had been awhile since some of the fares had been «hanged, and that many improvements have been made and will continue to be made. No nutter, the damage had already been done. 9iew York Governor George Pataki was also concerned, saying that he, too, had a problem jwMl a $7 toll during rush hour. Both governors Jmvc to be convinced enough not to veto the proposals, so this clearly seems unlikely, f The problem, then, lies in the fact that the ^backlash against any increase, even a small, tonsonable one, ii going to make it tough to ^asa. There’s no question that many of the fares kave remained stable for a long time. For

example, PATH trains have been SI since 1987. A substantial portion of the increase will go directly toward the S9 billion capital program to make improvements to the PATH system, installation of road information signs and ex­pansion of the Staten Island bridges. Improve­ments will also be made to the airports and maritime ports served by the PA-N Y/N J. Justifying the increases as being to your ben­

efit, as they have asserted, is true only in a rather Oblique sense, since the aim is to ease congestion by encouraging people to travel during non-peak hours.

Well, this is all terrific, as long as it's also going to lead to improvements in mass transit sen ices that will ultimately prompt more people to carpool or take mass transit. Some of these increases must go towards improving bus and train schedules. Timetables should be ex­panded to accommodate people with flexible schedules and there should be better service for those who cannot change their plans. There should also be a broader view toward a truly integrated mass-transit system, including im­proved parking and other incentives for those who want to carpool.

As the holiday season begins and the new year approaches, I reflect on the current year and make mental note as to what The Salvation Army has accomplished and what remains to be done.

We, at The Salvation Army, have made many strides this year. We opened new corps community centers to meet the challenging needs o f today's world. We expanded our so­cial service programs to better serve the needs o f the community. A new pilot program was also launched through our Emergency Disaster Ser­vices unit to aid the flood victims o f Bound Brook. This new program was a success and we are very proud to have helped rebuild the homes o f

more than twenty families devastated by Tropical Storm Floyd last year.

I also see incredible need, the type o f need that never seems to be totally erased. I see people who are home­less with nowhere to turn. 1 see se­niors. alone and afraid I sec children from broken homes in need o f love. I see so many problems yet to be solved. At this time o f the year, we become caught up in holida> prepa­rations and festivities. We feel good will and kindness to all. I Infortuuately. “ need knows no season." and this is why the Salvation Army is there - to meet human needs, at the time of need. 365 days o f the year, not just at Christ­mas.

My wish this holiday season is to keep the color o f Christmas alive

throughout the year. You see. the color o f Christmas is bright red and green to most people, but to the eyes o f the needy, it is only shades o f gray. We. at rhe Salvation Army. would like to make this a brighter holiday season for New Jersey families. A brighter Christmas might simply be a hot meal, a warm coat, a small toy or a teddy bear for a child or e\ en a warm coat, a small toy or a tedds bear for a child or even a warm bed

Miracles happen.On Dec. 25, 1950 a baby was bom

with a blood condition called RH fac­tor. The people o f the town o f Lyndhurst rallied and gave him many pints o f blood and his life was spared.

In 1970 this young man was called home because his mom was ill. He had been practicing at Huntington West Virginia college for the football sea­

son there. On the way to the first football game o f this university a plane crash killed all his friends.

Am ong them was Teddy Shoebridge. his lifelong friend o f ear­lier baseball and football teams.

In 1985 this young man was sup­posed to represent his company at a business conference. Due to inclem­ent weather his meeting was post­

poned. In the very same conference room the concrete floor collapsed and some o f his business associates were injured and killed.

On Dec. 25 I ask you to please send grcetinjfcto Michael Olkowski, 8 Iris lj»ne, Wallington. NJ 07057.

T r u e g i f t s a r e g i f t s o f t i m e a n d c a r i n gTo the Editor:

We arc about to celebrate another holiday season by the exchanging o f gifts and good wishes.

A ll things change and we must change with them. We can avoid giv­ing a present that is unwanted, un­used and soon forgotten by making our gifts suit their recipients chang­ing age, values and philosophies.

Before giving a living being as a gift certain conditions for its well being should be assured. Be sure, abso­lutely sure, that it w ill be welcomed. Give a pet that w ill readily fit into its home. Do not give a frisky husky puppy to a little 60 year old lady liv­ing in a tiny two room apartment. At­tempts to convert species preferences by giving dogs to cat lovers or vice versa generally fail most miserably.

TTie recipients must be aware o f and willing to accept the responsibilities and obligations o f pet guardianship. Far too often that cute little puppy or kitten found under the tree ends tip in a shelter. An ideal way o f uniting a human with a nonhuman companion is to allow them to find each other at a local animal shelter. In this way there w ill be no unpleasant surprises for both the human and nonhuman in­volved. ’

As a gift, donations to one’s favor­ite charity are always welcomed and well received no matter the number ot times it is duplicated. The benefits here go far beyond expressing your love and understanding o f one per­son. This gift allows you to touch and help those whom you will never see

know and that defines charity I saw a movie in which one nun instructs a novice in the spirit o f their order by yyjng,/*Do good and disappear."

The gift o f time has value beyond measure. Many o f us have no idea of the number o f people that are forgot­ten and exist with vacuous lives in hospitals and nursing homes. Partici­pating. as a volunteer, in various pro grams such as pet therapy is as re­warding to one’s self as to those one seeks to help. Every animal shelter welcomes volunteers that will give the animals a bit o f tender loving care There is no end to the need for volun­teer help or the gift o f time.

Eating out has always been an American delight. In early married years and with limited funds, payday, an anniversary or special event war­ranted occasion to eat out. We did indeed cherish the event.

These days, it’s still a pleasure but it’s no longer the veritable “ Seventh Heaven” it once was. When I eat out, I am ultimately pleased when the price is right - but the food has to be truly succulent and attractive. I’m con­

vinced that the attractiveness o f food actually greatly enhances the plea­sure o f the taste.

We all have a friend or two who pre­pares a meal with all three elements there. The price is right (zilch); the food is on par with the quality o f a fine restaurant and the appearance is on level with the smartest.

There’s an arena, however, where these standards do not totally prevail. Tony’s pushcart hotdogs are simply delectable - many people agree.

Whether on Hoboken or New York City streets, in front o f the old (¡race Line pier in the Chelsea area or at most football stadiums, they are as enjoy­able as a meal at any o f a number o f fine Jersey restaurants (no apologies to the Inn). It’s just that they arc dif­ferent types o f “excellent cuisines.” They are the epitome o f excellence in their own venues. They are each an epicurean delight.

To the Editor;The members of the Volunteer Fire

Department and the Volunteer Emer­gency Squad would like to thank the residents of North Arlington for their overwhelming vote of support and approval of the “ Length of Service Awards Program” (LOSAP Municipal Question #l)on Election Day.

This program w ill assist the emer­gency service volunteers o f this com­munity with their recruitment and re­tention efforts.

It w ill also allow us to continue to provide professional quality fire pro­tection and emergency medical ser­vices for our community now and into the future.

Additionally, we would like to thank the Mayor and Council for their en­dorsements and continued support for the volunteers o f North Arlington.

The Members o f the North Arlington Volunteer Fire

Department and Volunteer Emergency Squad

To the Editor:We’re writing to express our grati­

tude to the voters o f North Arlington for their support in this year’s elec­tion for borough council. We’ ve been entrusted with important responsibili­ties and we promise to work hard to live up to the confidence expressed by the voters.

It’s particularly noteworthy that, al­though the local electorate gave mar­gins o f a thousand votes or more to Democratic candidates for president and congress, hundreds o f North Ar­lington voters split their tickets to sup­port our reelection.We believe this outcome indicates our

residents feel the borough is headed in the right direction, we’re commit­ted to keep our community moving forward by addressing commercial re­development, the conversion o f land­fills to go lf courses and by continu­ing to deliver quality municipal ser­vices while holding the line on taxes.

We’d also like to take this opportu­nity to congratulate the members o f the North Arlington Fire Department and the North Arlington Volunteer Emergency Squad for their success­ful effort to adopt a Length o f Service Award Program (LOSAP) for their members.

Ihe voters overwhelming approval o f this measure is a testimony to the high regard our residents have for these dedicated volunteers. LO SAP w ill also go a long way in insuring that these important organizations continue to attract and retain new membecft to meet our f uture needs.

We want all o f our residents to know, regardless o f whom they may have voted for, that we will do our very best to keep improving our community during the next three years.

To Ihe EditorI’m writing to clarify some issues

raised about the EnCap golf project by KenyGomace in a recent letter to the editor.

First, I would ask Ms. Gennace to step back and look at the big picture. The possibility of shutting down solid wane processing facilities and clos­ing orphaned landfills in an environ­mentally sound manner would in it­self be a gnat benefit to our commu­nity. But the conversion of these ar­eas into a golf resort with such ameni­ties as a hotel, shopping, other recre­ation fariHties and mass transit im­provements is a vision that could hardly be imagined only a few years•go-

The transformation of lands ravaged by decades o f misuse and neglectwould be an enormous boon to ourcommunity - not only by enhancing property values and the local economy - but by completely revers­ing the perception of North Arling­ton as a host c. immunity for solid

waste processing.That said,there is no doubt that we

must be vigilant and diligent to pro­tect the interests of die community as such a large and complex project is undertaken within our borders.

One o f our most important concernsis the engineering methods that, willbe utilized to cap the landfills. Criticalto this process is the capping mate­rial U> be used. We have addressed this issue with the HMDC both pri­vately and in public hearings and havebeen assured that the material to be used w ill be clean clay, and not dredged silt, the concern that Ms. Gennace raised in her letter.

In fact at a public hearing on No­vember 2 when questioned about the capping material, Robert Ceberio, the HMDC’s Deputy Executive Director stated: “The Hackensack Meadow- lands Development Commission right now is looking to get into a contractwith the Army Corps of Engineers and

the State of New Jersey to take the clean clay coming out of New York Harbor. And the clay has already been tested. It's been indicated that there's absolutely no toxic (material) whatso­ever, and to get a clay material is your ultimate (best approach) "

I believe the oversightvffhc Army Corps and the DEP will uisllre that a safe and environmentally sound method of capping these sites is used.

Protecting the public health is one of the most important duties of local officials and we will be diligent in this project as we always are with issues that can potentially affect the health and safety of our residents. After all, we live here also and would never do anything that could possibly affect the health of our residents and the community’s future generations.
