AssemblywomanConnieWagner onThurs-day,Nov. 18, said she continuesworking towarda plan tomergeTeterborowith neighboringmu-nicipalities and intends to introduce new legisla-tion that will address concerns of the businesscommunity.

“Manymay debate what the right approachmight be, but no one candefend this startling ex-ample of government inefficiency,” saidWagner(D-Dist. 38). “We’ve had a lot of talk latelyabout ‘poster boys’ for this and that, but Teter-boro is inarguably the poster boy for a nonsen-sical and wasteful local government structurethat helps drive up property taxes. It mustchange.”

Senator Paul Sarlo (D-Dist. 36), who is alsomayor ofWood-Ridge, has reportedly said thatany plans to break up Teterboro are dead, butAssemblywoman Wagner and Senator RobertM.Gordon (D-Dist.38) have not given upon theidea.

SenatorGordon andAssemblywomanWag-ner are the sponsors of a plan that will disbandTeterboro - a 1.1-square-mile community with

about 25 residents - and distribute its land to fourneighboringmunicipalities - SouthHackensack,Little Ferry,Moonachie andHasbrouckHeights.

Wagner said her new legislationwill protectbusinesses from property tax increases thatcould ensuewith amerger, just as is current lawwith residential property taxes.

If the Teterboro consolidation had beenpassed and in effect, the property taxes of theresidential property tax payers would have re-mained stable instead of skyrocketing 51.9 per-cent, as reported by The Record, an amountwhich undoubtedly would have been passedonto those who rent in the community.

“If we cannot find a sensibleway to consol-idate a tiny place with a handful of residentssuch as Teterboro, then we have little hope ofpromoting local government efficiency through-out the rest of New Jersey,”Wagner said. “Thisis without question a contentious issue, but it’stime for all sides to come together and find away to work toward a more sensible structurethat will put New Jersey on the road towardbeing more affordable for everyone.”

LEGISLATORS WORKINGTO BREAK UP TETERBORO

� By Douglas E. HallAdoption is a subject that, to most people, is

a sensiblewin-winsolution for childrenwhohavenoparents (at least parentswhoareavailable) andtraditionallymarried coupleswho have been un-able to have children.For those involved–adoptees andadopters it

is not so simple. I come to this subject as anadoptee. As such, I generally feel most peoplehave little understanding that adoption is not awin-winsituation,butonewheremaking thebestof a difficult situation is fraught with pitfalls.Even themost successful adoption opens the

door to selfdoubtandencouragesa lackof self es-teem. The most irritating comment I hear whenI disclose having been adopted is the following,

“You are very lucky because you were chosen.”Yes, but Iwould have beenmuchmore fortunatehad I been born into a well-adjusted family withstrongbonds,not anunwedmotherwhoforwhat-ever good reason, felt it necessary to give meaway. It leaves one with the nagging feeling ofwhat’s wrong with me? Why was I given tostrangers?I write this at this time because across New

Jersey the state Division of Youth and FamilyServices (DYFS) just promoted the celebrationof National Adopting Month. According toDYFS, county agencies in 17 of the state’s 21counties celebrated the event from Nov. 15through Nov. 20. These included Passaic andHudson counties, but not BergenCounty. I don’tknow why Bergen County did not join the cele-bration. Butever sincevoters turnedeverycountyoffice-holdingDemocrat out ofoffice in theelec-tion onNov. 2, the county publicitymachine hasall but fallen silent, since Nov. 8 and the countyappears to be on autopilot.Just weeks before DYFS staged these cele-

brations; the EvanB.DonaldsonAdoption Insti-tute cited a “critical need for post-adoptionservices.”The report states “An extensive examination

of adoptive families in the United States, con-cludes that toomany are not receiving the essen-tial services theyneed, andcalls for a reshapingofnational priorities and resources to develop andprovide such services.”Inaneffort todemonstrate thebreadthofpro-

fessional support for a “paradigm shift,” majorchild welfare and adoption organizations acrossthe country joined in endorsing the 116-page re-port.“The report stresses that the vast majority of

adopted children function normally— and their(adopting) parents are highly satisfied with theirfamilies. But it also points out that just over thepast15years, nearlyamillionboysandgirlswereadopted by Americans from foster care in ourcountryand fromorphanagesabroad, and thema-jority of U.S. adoptions continue to be of thosetypes (by far,mostly fromstate childwelfare sys-tems).“What itmeans is that thesechildren livewith

the emotional, psychological and developmentalconsequences of having been abused, neglectedor institutionalized before they were adopted,”saidAdoption InstituteExecutiveDirectorAdamPertman.

And while these celebrations took place inmost of the state, local Assemblywoman JoanVoss (D-Dist. 38) of Fort Lee continues to presslegislation she is co-sponsoring that would tosome degree open adoption records to adoptees.Such records were sealed in New Jersey in the1940s (they are sealed in many states) to protect

the privacy of unmarried women who give uptheirbabies for adoption. Thestatenowhasabout150,000 sealed adoption recordsThe troublewith this practice is that itmakes

the infants who are adopted, parties to a contractin which they had no say.While some adoptees say they have no inter-

est in finding their natural parents, there aremanywhowould like toat least knowall theycanabouttheir heritage. Certainly today, there is good rea-son for adoptees to know the medical history oftheir natural birth parents.Since the adoption recordswere sealed, birth

certificates have been issued bearing the namesof the adoptive parents as if theywere the naturalparents. This tomea fraudandcruelhoaxplayedon the adopted. It permits someadoptive parentsto never tell their children the facts of their birth.In other words, the adoption can be forever hid-den.This is counter to the inquisitiveness of

humannature. Mostpeoplehave some interest intheir heritage. Weall studyhistory in school. So-ciety is populated with historians and archeolo-gists. Writers from reporters to novelists all diginto history in varying degrees as part of theirwork.Genealogy/family tree sites are one of the

most popular destinations on the Internet.A bill similar to the Voss bill was passed by

the Senate in June. It was co-sponsored by stateSenator Loretta Weinberg (D-Dist. 37) of Tea-neck. This bill removes the exemption for adop-tion records within the New Jersey Open PublicRecords, andacompanionSenatebillwouldgiveadopted individuals and a few others access totheir original birth certificate andwould give ac-cess to “non-identifying family medical historyinformation.” This is much like the AssemblybillAssemblywomanVoss is co-sponsoring.Ms. Voss told me on Sunday, Nov. 21, that

Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver promised Ms.Voss that thebillwouldbeputup foranAssemblyvote during the current session. AfterAssemblypassage, thebillwill be sent toGovernorChristiefor his signature.It’s been too many years that this legislation

hasbeen stalled inTrenton. IfAssemblySpeakerOliver puts the bill up to a vote in theAssembly,we might finally have a bit of common sensewritten into our state’s adoption laws.

crewsunder thedirectionofMayorBrianP.Stackon Saturday began delivering 15,000 turkeys toresidents of Union City and other towns in the33rdLegislativeDistrict, an annual holiday serv-ice thatStackandhispolitical allies have fulfilledfor 25 years.“There are a lot of poor families in the city

andwewant themtohavea turkeyonThanksgiv-ingDay,” saidStackashewalked rapidly throughthe streets of his North Hudson County city, fol-lowingupona letterhe issued to residentsalertingthem to the turkey drive and asking them to callthemayor’s civic associationwith all requests.“This is the timeofyear tobe joyful, butmost

of all, we should be thankful for what we have -for families, for friends, for good neighbors and

ourcountry,” themayorwrote. “It is alsoa time toshare. If you or someone you know needs aturkey forThanksgiving, please callme. ... Pleaseask for a turkeyonly if youneed it, as supplies arelimited. In a city as large as Union City, we havemany needy families who would not have aThanksgiving turkey ifwedidn’t provide one forthem.”The big trucks from a Pennsylvania turkey

farm arrived in the pre-dawn hours at the enor-mous old port authority transit hanger turned cityDPW fortress on New York Avenue.

ings where they offloaded turkeys by theboxload, created a staging area in thecourtyard or sidewalk, and then, on asignal from Stack – went floor by floor,door to door to the targeted apartments.Heads appeared in windows high abovethe street and people exchanged happygreetings. The crews kept moving, thetrucks and workers synchronized fromone block to the next with the mayor al-ways on foot.

The laundry hung between buildingson the long stairway up to the top of onetenement.

“Happy Thanksgiving,” said Com-missioner Chris Irizarry when he handeda turkey to a resident. A close ally of themayor’s, Irizarry has helped Stack de-liver turkeys for 12 years.

They arrived at a large white residen-tial building on Palisades Avenue, whichstands directly above Hoboken and theriver, face to face with midtown Manhat-tan on the other side.

“This is where I grew up,” said the

mayor, son of a train conductor. “In thisbuilding. My mother was the super, andshe used to make my brother and mesweep the sidewalk here.”

He smiled, maybe with the knowl-edge that it was in part his mother’s ex-ample that now prompts him to grab hiscellphone to call public works wheneverhe sees graffiti or litter on his streets. Asanitation truck brought up the rear ofthe whole Saturday operation, in fact,with a work crew quickly dispensing ofthe discarded turkey boxes.

Stack lived across from the old Yard-

ley soap on a rope factory, now vacant -and next to a sewing factory turned Ara-bic bakery. He went to Our Lady of De-liverance Church, now boarded up withits back to New York.

“That’s why they’re losing parish-ioners,” said the mayor, during a discus-sion about what he sees as the church’sless than vigorous civic engagement, inhis experience locally.

They went down Palisades and up theside streets, tracing a route the old timersknew well, of apartment buildings andsome stand-alone homes, with Stackwaving to people who waved at him inthe street, calling out, “Happy Thanks-giving.”

“What, were you a sergeant backthen, when you used to see me cam-paigning here?” Stack asked PoliceChief Charles Everett, who was amongthe Thanksgiving workers.

“Patrolman,” said Everett.A couple approached the mayor at

one point. “We’re homeless,” said thewoman.

“Come to my office Monday morn-ing, 8 o’clock,” said Stack.

“Can we have a turkey?”“Of course. Get them a turkey over

here.”A few blocks up, another man went to

Stack and said he was homeless and liv-ing in the woods and wanted a turkey.

“Come to my office Monday morningif you’re interested in a part-time job asa sweeper,” said the mayor. “Take aturkey. But be careful cooking it in thewoods, don’t start a fire in there.”

Observing his boss tear into anotherblock, Mark Albiez, chief of staff, saidof his education in Stack’s brand ofstreet politics, “It’s like going to Har-vard.”

In one building on Palisades, the doorto a first floor corner apartment openedand an older woman, thin with blondecurly hair, exchanged greetings with acrew of volunteers bounding through thehallway and handing out turkeys.

“God bless you, Mrs. Stack,” aworker told the mayor’s mother, whowas the super there until recently.

“And God bless your son.”The crews worked until 9:30 Satur-

day night and completed all of UnionCity. The plan Sunday was to head intothe other towns of the 33rd District andon Thanksgiving Day, the mayor’s civicassociation will serve communal dinnersat four locations.

THANKSFORGIVINGLike yourmother-in-law and herpes simplex 1

(cold sores) holidays don’t easily go away. As badas they can be, they come back every year.Thanksgiving is here. A time for family to gettogether and count their blessings. Speaking formyself, I’m always thankful that we no longer alllive together. And while Hallmark prefers to cele-brate, I prefer to medicate.

Thanksgiving 1992was a seminal year forme.I was a newlywed drunk on love, but more drunkon wine, who announced during dessert, “Fromnow on I’ll do all the holidays!” (And by “I’ll” Imeant Jim.) I had no idea why everyone was soexcited. I mean, all you have to do is feed people.What’s the big deal? I found out what the big dealwas after I hosted my first Thanksgiving. My lifebeing like an unscripted Broadway experimentalshow I invited 30 for a sit-down dinner and 15more for dessert givingmy fireman husband a nearcoronary with that many bodies in the house.

I hadnever cookeda turkey inmy life, but I gotup at 5 am to stuff and shove the 28 pound bird intomy oven. As it cooked I immediately knew thatwas one foul fowl. I called mymother frantic.

“The turkey stinks!” I shouted hysterically.

“I toldyounot tobuy theShopRite turkey,” sheresponded.

“No, I mean it really stinks!”

“Did you forget to remove the neck?”

“What neck???? Don’t they chop that off?”

“No. It’s wrapped in paper along with otherinternal organs and stuffed inside the bird.What didyou do with that?”

“I guess I’m cooking it!” I howled in fear.

“Then that’s what stinks. You need to get itout.” Click.

I proceeded to remove the turkey from theoven, unstuff it, and remove the paper package thatwas now singed black. I’m sorry, but that was noneck in that paper—thatwas genitalia. I felt like theblack hand of the turkey mafia had gotten theirscratchy claws onmyTom and taught him a lessonfor some undisclosed indiscretion.All holidays thatfollowed had the feeling like something vital hadbeen cut off.

Holidays have that tendency to bring out theworse in families.And it wouldn’t be a proper hol-iday without that one negative relative who coun-ters every statement with doom. If you tell themyou’re pregnant they’ll tell you about how theymiscarried on the “A” Train on Christmas Eve asThe Salvation Army choir was singing “WhatChild isThis?” If you tell them that your childwentto bed early the night before they’ll tell you that heprobably has a brain tumor because thatmakes nor-mally energetic kids tired.

I’ve had my share of Thanksgivings.Thanksgiving19__everyonedecided tokeeppour-ing vodka into my now ex-sister-in-law’s glassbecause the only time she wasn’t giving everyonethe hairy eyeball was when she drank vodka. Thatpoor girl got so pie-eyed drunk that her head fellinto the mashed potatoes during grace and no onebothered to wake her until dessert was over.

Then there was “Bad Dog’s” firstThanksgiving with us. I had cooked two turkeysthat year.A28 pounder and a small 17 pounder.AsI had the 17 pounder resting on the open oven door“Bad Dog” managed to lift it out of the pan. I

thoughtJim hadremoved the turkeyuntil I saw the drippings on the floor and followedthem to the porch where she was getting ready tochow down. After wrestling it from her growlingmouth, I rinsed it off and fed it to the relatives whohad arrived empty-handed.

Then there’s my favorite Thanksgiving—theonewhere a relative got so violently ill that the copsand ambulancewere called.They arrived lights andsirens blaring signaling the neighbors to their frontporches. Other families might have been fazed bysomeone being carried passed them on a stretcher.Not mine. Everyone kept eating, the conversationdidn’t miss a beat, and the wine kept flowing. Thatnight I was awaken at 1am as the relative, releasedfrom thehospital, came to claim theirThanksgivingdinner and a martini neat.

May your Thanksgiving be quiet, uneventful,and easy. If it’s not, check the address—you’reprobably at my house. Bring wine andAdvil.

� By Will CorrenteOver the past several months, I have

received numerous requests for advicefrom readers. Due to these requests andThe Bergen News’ desire to best serve theneeds of our readers we have decided toincorporate an “Ask the Entrepreneur”component to my column.

Recently, I received an email from areader who has been a professional gam-bler for the past 30 years. Here is her in-quiry: “I have been a Casino Gambler thepast 30 years, and am well known in allcasinos AC, Mohegan, Las Vegas etc. Idecided to give seminars to customersabout playing table games and have beenin touch with casinos, but since I do nothave a resume that shows I worked in acasino they are hesitant to hire me.” – F.K.

Dear FK: Three of the most importanttasks a new small business entrepreneurmust accomplish are: 1) Find customers,2) Establish legitimacy, and 3) Sell yourgoods or services.

Step 1: Find Customers: In your busi-ness model you have 2 customers, the firstis the casino who will hire you to offerseminars and the second is the seminar at-tendee. Treating the casino as your targetcustomer is a very smart plan on your be-half. You have not made the mistake oftrying to reach the masses on your own byhosting seminars online, at the library orat a local meeting center. In that model,you would have to expend significant timeand effort to reach each potential attendee.In your model, the casino delivers yourcustomers to you great job on step 1!

Step 2: Establish Legitimacy: Here iswhere you are facing your biggest chal-lenge. The casino wants to be convinced

that you are the best person to deliver theseseminars to their customers. And in orderto be the best, you must know the casinosand their industry. They want to know youhave experience on the other side of thetable. Do you know both the customerperspective and the casino perspective?Here it is up to you show them that youknow something about their structure,their business, and most important, theircustomer from their point of view. In-stead of writing a resume, write a sales let-ter, telling the casino who you are and whyyou are the best person to host these sem-inars; what experiences, insights and ex-pertise you possess that makes you andyour seminars better than any others avail-able in the market today.

Step 3: Sell, Sell, Sell: Thinking aboutyour product or service from the casino(your customer) point of view tell themhow contracting you to host these seminarswill either a) make the casino more money,b) keep customers playing, or c) encouragecustomers return to the casino over andover again.

If you think about your new endeavoras a business from the start, you will beable to lay the plans to target your cus-tomer, establish your legitimacy and sellthem your services. Thank you for writ-ing to me and the Bergen News/Press Jour-nal.

BUSINESS/REAL ESTATE

�� By Jacqui Atcheson, Prospect Mortgage

With the cost of college doubling every12 to18 years, it’s imperative that parentsdevelop a college savings strategy. Havingeven a modest plan in place can producedramatic results: Investing just $100 amonth for 18 years will yield $48,000, as-suming an 8 percent average annual return.Here are three common college savingsplans:

529 Savings PlanContributions are nondeductible. Earn-

ings and withdrawals are tax-free if usedon qualified education expenses. Mostplans let you save in excess of $200,000per beneficiary. There are no income limi-tations or age restrictions, and you canchange the beneficiary to another familymember, including yourself.

Coverdell Education Savings Account (ESA)Formerly the Education IRA, ESA con-

tributions are nondeductible and limited to$2,000 per beneficiary per year. Earningsand withdrawals are tax-free if used by thebeneficiary before age 30 on qualified ed-ucation expenses. Eligibility is constrainedby Modified Adjusted Gross Income

(MAGI): $190,000 or less for couples or$95,000 or less for singles.

Prepaid Tuition ProgramsPrepaid tuition programs allow parents

Insurance involves paying a sum each year to pro-tect against the possibility of a large loss – such as adeath, disability, accident or fire. Long-term care in-surance can provide funding if you require long-termcare. As an example, in New Jersey the average dailyrate for a private room in a nursing home is $337, orthe equivalent of $123,000 per year.What should you be aware of when evaluating

long-term care insurance?There is something for everyone. Policy design

may be customized to accommodate your unique factsand circumstances.

Discounts are available and may help reduce theannual cost of your policy (e.g. if you are in goodhealth; married; etc).Aside from your age and health at the time of ap-

plication, the most critical factors affecting the costof a policy are:

Benefit Period: How long you will receive care.Benefit Amount: How

much you will receive foryour care.

Elimination Period: The waiting period beforereceiving funds.

Inflation Option: How much the benefit willgrow each year.

Riders: Optional features that add to the cost butmay be valuable, such as a waiver of the eliminationperiod for home care rider.Although many policies reimburse you for

charges incurred based upon proof of service, someenable you to receive part of the benefit in cash.Work with an independent firm that has the ability

to place long-term care insurance with multiple carri-ers and educates you on this topic.Long-term care insurance can and often should

play an important role in your overall financial plan-ning. Its potential value to you and your loved onesshould not be underestimated.Jason Hochstadt, CFP®, AIF®, is Executive Vice

President of LIFECO ASSOCIATES, INC., an inde-pendent life and health insurance agency in Fort Lee,NJ that places life, disability and long-term care in-surance for its clients. Jason may be reached directlyat 201-849-4426.

LEONIA – John Peasley Miraglia,who with his wife Mary, operated ThePress Journal during the 1980s, died aftera sudden illness on Thursday, Nov. 11.He was 80.He operated his own labor-manage-

ment consulting business for 30 yearsafter a career that began as a field repre-sentative for the National Labor RelationsBoard.Through that work and an early asso-

ciation with then-Congressional candi-date John F. Kennedy, he was appointedin 1960 as Deputy Director of IndustrialRelations for the then brand-new spaceagency, National Aeronautics and SpaceAdministration (NASA).There he worked with early rocket sci-

entists, including Werner Von Braun. Atthe construction site for the then CapeCanaveral, when work stoppages werethreatened he would go to court and arguethat if job actions were permitted, “Rus-sians would get to the moon first,” a tac-tic that never failed. He was instrumentalin desegregating the base at Michoud inLa., by personally removing “whites” and“colored” sings from rest room doors andwater fountains.In 1968, after two appointments by

President Lyndon B. Johnson and a briefstint at Johnson & Johnson, he formed hisown labor-management consulting busi-

ness. In that firm, he represented publicand private entities, including the FordFoundation and socio-economic agenciesof the federal government.Also during that time he actively op-

posed the war in Vietnam, especially as atrustee of the Merchant Marine Academy,and worked for the cause of equal rights,which he contended had been an inviolatestance of the union movement.Mr. Miraglia firmly believed that any

dispute could be fairly settled by focusingon the common interests of the parties,and leaving contentious positions aside.He took pride in his service settling

the 90-day, bitter Englewood Hospitalnurses’ strike following the failure of fed-eral mediation and of his legacy of laborpeace in Englewood City government andthe district’s school board, which hejoined in 1974, ending a history of badlabor relations and contentious negotia-tions.Mr. Miraglia took great pride and

found great happiness as a father andgrandfather. Following the birth of threechildren to him and his wife Mary, of 33years, he scaled back his business tospend more time at home. He was knownto many children in the community as agreat guy and soft touch. He was the fa-ther of Cynthia, Deborah, and MitchellMiraglia, David Medlock, ChristopherJohn Peasley, Benjamin Joseph Wann andBianca Maria Miraglia. And a step-fatherto Alexander Morgan and CourtneyCrawford. He is also survived by six

grandchildren.John Peasley Miraglia was born on

July 15, 1930 on a kitchen table of hisfamily’s apartment at 11th Street and 2ndAvenue on the Lower East Side of Man-hattan to Joseph John and Irma PeasleyMiraglia. Mr. Miraglia’s father was afirst-generation Italian, while hismother’s family came to America with theearly Pilgrims and an ancestor was a fa-mous clergyman in Rhode Island.John’s father, Joey was a well-known

union activist who worked organizingtextile workers throughout the Northeast,including New Jersey. In the process hebecame an international vice president ofthe Textile Workers of America.As a child of six or 7, John accompa-

nied his father to strikes where it was hisresponsibility to carry nickels for payphones so the union leader could callwhen his father was arrested. Mr. Mi-raglia began working as a business agentwhile attending night school at the CityCollege of New York. He graduated witha Bachelor of Business Administrationdegree and received the Moses D. Blitzer

award for labor stud-ies. This enabledhim to attend theNew School as ascholarship stu-dent at a timewhen only scholar-ship students wereadmitted. His work forthe union was toprotect strikingworkers fromp9olice whooften weresent to beatthe unionstrikers.A memorial service is planned for

Thanksgiving weekend. Friends of fam-ily, or of labor are invited to call at thefamily home in Leonia through Sunday,Nov. 21 and after that by calling 201-592-8076. Donations may be made to theBotto House American Labor Museum,83 Norwood Street, Haledon, NJ 07508 orFlat Rock Brook Nature Center, 443 VanNostrand Avenue, Englewood, NJ 07631.

the Society of Model Engineers has been de-

scribed. For the members of the nonprofitgroup dedicated to model trains it is evenmore. The excitement and “Romance ofRailroads”, and the enjoyment of buildingand displaying model trains has kept the So-ciety of Model Engineers going for morethan eighty years making it the oldest groupin the United States. The members of the So-ciety, located in Carlstadt, NJ, have a de-voted love of trains and have joined togetherto operate a train museum and two large“Railroad Empires”.The pride of the Society, these “Em-

pires”, the model train layouts cover almost4,000 square feet. The larger “O” Scale lay-out is 40 by 70 feet and has almost 20 scalemiles of train track. It features a detailedscenic diorama with realistic track work,roads, interesting structures, bridges and tun-nels. The “HO” Scale layout is approxi-mately 30 by 45 feet. It also, is fully scenicwith miles of scale track. Over 50,000miniature trees have been installed by themembers to depict Northern New Jersey.

Model trains will be operating on bothlayouts. Many of the models are one of akind and were handmade by Society mem-bers. Trains of all types, passenger, freight,and circus trains, will be operating on sched-ules controlled by club members. Memberstake pride in operating their miniature rail-road just like real railroads operate. The

members claim that the only exception toreal railroad operation is they operate “Ontime, all the time!”. Trains will be runningcontinuously for everyone’s enjoyment.

Also on display will be the Society’s col-lection of historic railroad memorabilia.This collection includes the world’s largestdisplay of illuminated tail signs. These aresigns which hung from the Observation Carsthat ran at the end of many famous passengertrains. The signs now serve to remind us ofthat glorious means of travel by rail. ThePennsylvania “Broadway Limited”, the NewYork Central “20th. Century Limited” andthe Lackawanna “Phoebe Snow” are only afew of the many tail signs in the Society’scollection. The Society collection also in-cludes a large number of railroad lanterns,steam locomotive bells and whistles, railroadphotos and other railroad items.

Warning! If you are diabetic, dieting, orfor any other reason trying to controlyour sugar intake, read no further. If,however, you are looking for new andwonderful ways to indulge during theholiday season, hazelnut praline sweetpotatoes might just be for you. After all,what Thanksgiving spread is completewithout sweet, gooey sweet potatoes ofone kind or another?

The toasty crunch of the caramelizedhazelnuts is a nice contrast to thecreamy, maple-flavored sweet potatoes.Watch carefully as you melt the sugar tomake the praline topping. It goes from‘just melted’ to ‘burnt’ quite quickly.

Bright autumn color and nutty textureadd a festive, harvest appeal to yourmeal. I use two shallow casserole dishesto place around the table – they looknice, are easier for guests to reach, andencourage smaller portions. ;-)

If you want to make this dish a littleahead of time, keep the nuts separateuntil ready to bake so they retain theircrunch. You can skip the nuts altogetherif you like, reducing the amount of sugarin the process. Or, better yet, just eat thisinstead of that piece of pie you wereplanning on for dessert.

Ingredients:Praline Topping

1 cup hazelnuts½ cup light brown sugar1 tablespoon maple syrup

Sweet Potatoes2 large sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds)2 tablespoons butter2 teaspoons maple syrup¼ cup, plus 2 teaspoons light brownsugar½ teaspoon salt¼ teaspoon pepper¼ teaspoon cinnamon¼ teaspoon cloves¼ teaspoon ginger¼ teaspoon nutmeg2 eggs, lightly beaten

Preparation:To make the praline topping, preheatoven to 350°. Spread hazelnuts evenlyon baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes,then rub with dry towel to remove someof the skins. Chop nuts and set aside.

Heat skillet over medium to medium lowheat. Add brown sugar and maple syrup.Let sugar heat and melt, without stirring,until it has reached a dark golden color(about 6 to 8 minutes). Immediately re-move from heat, toss with toasted hazel-nuts, and set to cool on waxed paper.Break into smaller pieces when cool.Peel and chop sweet potatoes and placein heavy saucepan. Add water to cover.Bring to boil, then simmer until tender,about 30 minutes. Drain sweet potatoesand add butter, maple syrup, ¼ cupbrown sugar, salt, pepper, cinnamon,cloves, ginger, and nutmeg. Puree mix-ture in blender or food processor untilsmooth. Add eggs and mix until smooth.Pour sweet potato mixture into lightlygreased casserole dish. Sprinkle withbrown sugar, then top with praline mix-ture. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes untilfirm and slightly puffed up. Serve hot.

Makes 8 servings.

MUSICAL TALENT ARRIVES ATPRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

I’m back to a musical for the month ofDecember and this time I’m taking alook at “Honk” presented by BergenCounty Players (BCP). This show isperformed by mostly children. How-ever, there are adults in the show aswell.

Bergen County Players started in1932 by a group of people who hadbeen putting on smaller productions.These people would then go on andsign a charter and BCP was formed.BCP started performing in many differ-ent high school auditoriums and theninto the Barn Theatre in River Edge.Finally, the group settled into a perma-nent home in Oradell, taking over whatused to be the old fireplace. The theatreis now called The Little Firehouse The-atre. Over the years Bergen County Play-

ers has worked to improve their artisticprograms. In 1987 they implemented aseries called “Conservations With AnArtist” which was meant to provideboth members and the public with theopportunity to speak with professionalartists. BCP stages seven main-stage shows

and at least two second-stage shows.The children’s show, which takes placein December, delights audiences right

around the holiday season. “Honk” is the warm and funny

retelling of the story of “The UglyDuckling.” It won the 2000 OlivierAward for London’s Best New Musi-cal, beating out both Mamma Mia andThe Lion King. It was written by Stilesand Drewe and first premiered in 1993.

The show features great music andsome of the songs in it are: “Lost”,“The Wild Goose Chase”, “Hold YourHead Up High”, “Together”, “NowI’ve Seen You”, and “The Blizzard.”

The main characters in “Honk” areUgly, Ida, Cat, Drake, and Maureen.Other characters include: The Turkey,Grace, Henrietta, and Dot.

“Honk” is directed by Dottie Fis-cher and produced by Joanna Bell andAl Wander, while Steve Bell providesmusical direction. There will be twoacts with an intermission to follow act1. Show times are Friday at 8:00pmand Saturdays and Sundays at 1:00pmand 3:30pm.

16 COMMUNITY NEWSNovember 24, 2010

� By Fairview Deputy Police ChiefFrank DelVecchioI was raised in a single parent household

with three brothers. Each day I watched mymother go to work as a waitress at the Yan-kee Tower Diner. Today I am the father ofthree children. From these experiences Iknow the struggles that parents face eachday. We worry about providing the basic ne-cessities of shelter, food and clothing. Wework long hours to provide for our childrenbut that doesn’t leave us with the time or en-ergy to spend time with them. I understandthese struggles because I have lived themand witnessed them as a police and juvenile

officer.Over the years I have noticed a decrease

in parental involvement in youth activities.Providing the basic necessities is critical butparents must find the time to be involved inall aspects of their child’s life. It should notbe expected that the schools will raise ourchildren for us. Parents must be actively in-volved in their child’s education. They mustcommunicate with their child and with theirchild’s teachers. Children reflect the attitudesof their parents. If parents appear to be dis-interested in their child’s education, the childwill almost certainly lose interest.Government can continue to “throw

money” at underperforming schools but thiswill accomplish nothing without strongparental involvement. Many children todayare called “latch key kids”. There is no onehome when they return from school becausetheir parent(s) are working. These childrencan either do their homework or play videogames and that is where parental interest andinvolvement have an effect. Not physicallybeing in the house doesn’t give parents a“pass” for not being interested and involvedin their child’s education.Here are some tips to assist parents:1. Communicate with your child every

day and know their friends.2. Create a schedule for your child and

ensure that it is followed.3. Limit video games and television.4. Get involved in extracurricular activi-

ties with your child.5. Provide positive reinforcement and

praise at every opportunity.6. Have negative consequences for bad

behavior but never hit your child. That cre-ates fear and resentment – not learning.

7. Recognize warn-ing signs. Look forbehavioral changesand address themquickly. Communi-cate with teachersoften.8. Take advan-

tage of seminars of-fered by the school orcommunity.9. Monitor

computer useclosely. Ele-m e n t a r yschool agechildren should not participate in social net-working sites such as Facebook.10. Hug them and tell them you love

them every day.Raising our children is the most difficult

thing we’ll ever do.We’re not perfect and weall make mistakes and hopefully learn fromthem. Just don’t make the mistake of notbeing involved. Our children need us.

INVESTING IN YOUR CHILDREN

Hobokenhospitals are experiencingchallengingfinancial pressures which may present volumeopportunities for PMC, we consider PMC to bea small hospital andnursinghome system ($154million incombined revenues)making it vulner-able to external changes.”Among PMC’s strengths, Moody’s said

were its increase in admissions for FY2009; thecontinuingprofitabilityofHarborage, thenursinghome adjacent to PMC,which it called “a largercontributor tooperating income than themedicalcenter”; and “successful negotiations with theunions which included favorable changes to thedefinedbenefit pensionplan that should limit fu-ture funding andmoremodest wage increases.”Other“challenges”Moody’s saidPMCfaces

are a payer mix “skewed toward governmental(54 percentMedicare and 14 percentMedicaid)and self pay, limitingopportunities for cost shift-ing.” It also identified the“long-standingabsenceof aBlueCross contract”which it “viewed neg-atively as it is the largest commercial payer innorthern New Jersey.” It also said admissionshave“softened”and there is an8percent declinein outpatient surgeries.“While the pension funded ratio has im-

proved (to70percent funded inFY2009from49percent in FY 2008) and concessions regardingpension structure were agreed upon by theunions, it remains a long-term obligation ofPMC,”Moody’s said.It warned against “wide-sweeping changes

to the competitive landscape that would impairperformance.”Moody’sgaveHackensackUniversityMed-

ical Center (HUMC) a Baa1 rating. This means“obligationsare subject toamoderate credit risk”and HUMC’s “may possess certain speculativecharacteristics.”

It said thehospital’soutlook is stable, reflect-ing “our belief that financial performance willcontinue to be challenged over the near term asHUMCmakesefforts to…integrate its newclin-ical data system and embarks upon a physicianemployment strategy. The proposed re-openingof Pascack Valley, if successful, may also be aconsumption of resources over the coming year.However, under the direction of the new CEO,HUMC is embarking upon a number of strate-gies thatwill likelybe financially accretive in thelong term.”Among HUMC’s “challenges,” Moody’s

said, are that “WhileHUMCis themarket leaderin the primary service area,management reportssome loss of market share in cardiac serviceswhich management hopes to reverse with thenewHeart Institute.”The hospital strengths include its position as

a “Sizeable $1.2 billion… provider in NorthernNew Jersey and management-reported leadingmarket share of 27.3 percent (as of 2008) in af-fluent BergenCounty.”Also, HUMC’s “new management team…

[including] the formation of a cardiovascular‘hospital within a hospital,’ the employment ofcardiologists and a ‘hub-and-spoke’model forclinical partnerships with community hospitalsin NorthernNew Jersey.”Also cited positively was the “complete re-

structuringofgovernance”anda“strict policyof‘no conflicts’” by board members which is“viewed favorably.”

Moody’s credit ratings are “opinions of thecredit quality of individual obligations or of anissuer’s general creditworthiness,” it said.The 21-notch scale goes fromAaa, “highest

quality”with“minimal credit risk” toC, the low-est rate, “typically in default, with little prospectfor recovery of principal or interest.”

NORTH BERGEN— It all camedown to the second overtime.

In that second extra session, theBruins had a fourth down pass into theend-zone ruled incomplete after the ballbounced away when the receiver hit theground, while second-seeded Randolphscored on a 27-yard field goal to com-plete a 24-21 victory over the third-slot-ted Bruins in the semifinal round of theNJSIAA North Jersey Section 1, Group4 state tournament on Friday night, Nov.19, in Randolph.

That result ended the NB program’smost successful season since 1997 at 7-4 overall.

Randolph will now face fourth-spotted Montclair High in the section’schampionship game on Saturday, Dec.4, at the New Meadowlands Stadium.

Two of the Bruins’ four losses thisseason came to those two teams in extrasessions, as NBHS fell to Montclair, 26-20, in one overtime on Sept. 18, prior tolosing to Randy in double-overtime thispast weekend.

The locals had taken a 14-7 leadover RHS when senior signal-caller

Peter Ramanand broke the plane fromtwo yards out on QB draw with 5:55 leftin the fourth frame.

The Rams, though, drew even on atwo play sequence with less than twominutes left in regulation. First, on afour-and-10, a slant pass gave RHS therequired ten yards and, on the next play,a 44-yard scoring strike sent the gameinto overtime.

In the first OT, Randy scored on a31 yard pass, before NB senior halfbackPeter Adorno tied the tight tilt on a twoyard run.

After the home team had taken aearly game 7-0 lead, the Bruins dreweven at seven-all via a 49-yard TD tossfrom Ramanand to Denzell Leitch in thesecond stanza.

“This was a very, very good yearfor this team,” assessed longtime Bruinsmentor Vin Ascolese, who just com-pleted his 49th year as a head coach inHudson County, most of which havebeen at North Bergen. “We hadn’t got-ten out of the first round of the playoffssince 1997 and the two teams which aregoing to play for the state title we lostto in overtime. So, yes, this was a prettygood year for us.”

Each week the Bergen Newspaper Group will feature a lovable petin need of a family to love. Today’s featured pet is Jack.

JACKIf you are interested in adopting, please respond to:petresQinc.petfinder.com or Call Robin 201.450.5992

Meet Jack! he was left in a kill shelter be-cause his owners were no longer able to carefor him.. He is a little confused after losinghis only life he has known for 6 years.SWEET BOY! LOOK at that face He is play-ful and good with other dogs! Give himsomething to be thankful for this week.

Twinkle is a ten-year-old feline patient ofmine. Although she comes annually for her reg-ular exam, I am not really her “cup of tea.” As Itry to convinceher to comeoutofher carrier, shedoes her best to convinceme to leave her alone.Shehisses and scratches and shegives the “Iwillkill you if you touch me” look. This is the onemoment that I remindmyself that cats and tigersbelong to the same family.So every time I have to collect blood and

urine sample fromTwinkle, I first have to sedateher lightly. This is a struggle forTwinkle andherowner as well as for me. Nevertheless, despitethe difficulty and in an effort to check Twinklethoroughly,wehavebeengoing through this an-nual ritual for the last ten years.This yearwewere happy to find that despite

Twinkle’s seniority, her bloodworkwas still rel-atively normal, with the exception of one smallparameter, called urine specific gravity, whichwas very low. That specific result indicated anearly phase of kidney disease called renal insuf-ficiency — a preliminary condition to chronickidney failure.Had it not been for her sedation in order to

performtheexam, itwouldhavebeen impossibleto collect a urine sample fromTwinkle. Indeed,

veryoften, cats that aredifficult tohandle, arehandledwith towels andprotectivegloves inorder toavoid injuries. In sodoing, thosecatswill get theirquickexam,perhaps somevaccines,and will then be sent home without any bloodwork or urine samples. This is due, of course, tothedifficultyor reluctanceof theowners to sedatetheir pets. In fact, unlikedogs that canbewalkedoutside in order to collect a urine sample, cat-owners are asked to collect it at home. I usuallydo not get urine samples back precisely becauseof the difficulty of collecting them.Alternatively, urine may be taken directly

fromthebladderbya techniquecalledCystocen-tesis – gently inserting a needle to the bladder inorder tocollect aurine sample. This isdoneat theveterinarian’s office.Here is why this is so important: with renal

insufficiency, the kidney values in a blood test(calledbunandcreatinine) are still normal,mak-ingusbelieve that all iswell. It takes thedestruc-tion of 75% of the kidneys to show elevation ofthese values in a blood test — a stage that hap-pens later on in the course of the disease. Earlydiagnosis is, therefore, very tricky. Only with aurine sample, onecanuncover thisproblemearlyon.WhenInotifiedTwinkle’sownerof the issue,

he confirmed that she hadbeen drinking a lot ofwater inthe previous severalweeks—a cardinal sign of diseasewithcats, as they normally do notdrink a lot of water.Bycatching this condition

early, Iwas able to prepare theowner for her future conditionand take steps to slow down

the disease. Had I not sedated her and collectedall the samples, her condition would have beendiscovered inamuchmoreadvancedstage, a fewmonths away. Further tests, such as a urine cul-ture, blood pressure measurements, and ultra-sound can help treat the condition. Any

underlying infectionorproblemcanbeaddressedwithmedication, diet change, andeventually ad-ministration of fluids under the skin every fewdays.I always tell my clients that if I could only

runone test on a cat, itwouldbe aurine analysis.Yet, because it is not easy for theowneror thevetto collect such sample, the cat’s urine often goesunchecked. Mysuggestion: put the effort to ob-tain a urine sample from your cat; it may saveyour feline friend’s life.
