Marathon for a number of reasons. Most of them are personal: to achieve a personal best time, for the prestige of running in a high-profile marathon, or just to see if they can do it. For Lyndhurst resident Erik A. Tobiason, the reason was much more personal.“ I dedicated this race to the memory

of my father,” Tobiason says. The marathon took place on Sunday, Nov. 5, which is the 23rd anniversary of his father’s death. Area residents may remember Warren Tobiason as the Scoutmaster of Troop 88, which was based In the Jefferson School in Lyndhurst. The elder Tobiason died of lung cancer on Nov. 5 ,1977.

Tobiason likes to have plefity of advance time to train for marathons, but this year it wasn’t quite possible.

he is happy with his time.Tobiason describes himself as a “ca­

sual” runner, but when he knows a race is coming, his training involves running for at least an hour, four or five days a week. He likes to make a 20-mile run at least three times in the last weeks leading up to the race it­self. A positive side effect of all the training, he says, is that over the last few months, he has lost about 20 pounds. “That’s got to be good for my cholesterol number,” he says. Tobiason is a relatively new member of the New York Road Runner’s Club, which he describes as “a great bunch of people.”

Tobiason has run in some mara­thons prior to this one. His first was in 1986, at the Big Sur Marathon, in California. That was also one of his best times ever, at three hours, 36 min­utes. He has also run in the Goodwill Games (3:38) and in Philadelphia about three years ago, posting a time of 4:04. Another effort to enter the New York Marathon failed when he did not get chosen in the lottery.

The night before the race, Tobiason joined many other runners at Tavem On The Green, a restaurant located in Central Park, for a Pasta Party. Many

runners w ill load up on pasta and other foods high in carbohydrates so that they w ill have extra energy to bum up during the race. There was a party after that event, he explains, “ but I couldn’t make that. Maybe back when I was 36 I could have,” the 50 year-old laughs.

On Sunday morning, runners from this area were taken to the starting line area by a bus from the Meadow- lands. “ We had to get there about two hours early,” he says. “They gave us breakfast— bagels, water, stuff like that— and then we had to find our ‘ pen.’ ” The “ pens” are designated starting areas used to help organize the runners. “ It was like a cattle call,” he says, but adds, “ It was definitely a very big event, but well organized.” Tobiason’s wife Colleen and son Erik

W. were at the finish line to greet him, however he says they didn’t happen to see him as he crossed the line. “ It was k ind o f crow ded where I crossed,” he says, referring to the knot o f runners surrounding him. “ They said it was tough to see any­one unless you knew for sure they were coming down right at that time.”

The whole experience was a posi­tive one for Tobiason. “ It definitely lived up to all the hype.”

Sometimes it’ s the little oddball things that happen that break a case. This time around, it was because the police chief, like most good guardians, is a light sleeper.

Lyndhurst Po lice Ch ie f James O ’Connor was already asleep at about 8:30 p.m. on Halloween night when he was awakened by a burst o f sound coming from his police radio. There had been a purse snatching in Wallington, and local departments were being alerted to the incident in the hopes that one o f them would spot the offender's vehicle. The car, a red Jeep, was similar to one that wit­nesses saw leaving the scene o f a simi­lar crime in Lyndhurst the day before. What’s more, the same car had also been linked to another purse snatch­ing that had taken place the same night in Rutherford.

O ’Connor, himself a former detec­tive in Lyndhurst prior to becoming Chief, put the pieces together and took an informed guess. Based on the amounts o f money that had been ob­tained, among other small details, O ’ Connor figured that the suspect was heading into Passaic to obtain drugs. He’d guessed at Passaic be­cause one o f the victim’s purses had been located there. So O ’Connor got into his car and headed to Passaic, notify ing the police in that town that he was on his way..

O ’Connor said that his detectives, along with the police in Rutherford, knew o f a possible suspect. “ We had a pretty good guess as to who the [suspect] was, and where he was go­ing afterwards,” O ’Connor says. “He’s got a little bit o f a track record with the police departments in this area.”

As he made his way toward one o f that town’s neighborhoods which is known for its drug traffic, O ’Connor saw the vehicle in question, parked

Balloon release to raise funds for W W II memorial

Rutherford. NJ 07070 Subscription $10 Published Weekly

-«aaBSw r

Hundreds, perhaps thousands of rad,white,and blue balloons will be released over Lyndhurst this week­end at part of a nationwide effort to raise money to build a National World War II Memorial in Washing­ton, DC.The local release of EPA-approved,

biodegradable balloons is being co­ordinated by Louis J. Stellato, Jr. of lppolilo-Stel!ato Funeral Homes, Inc. The nationwide balloon release will occur on Veterans Day, Saturday Nov. 11.

Mr. Stellato is encouraging family members and friends to release the $10 sponsored balloons in the name of a veteran or home front worker. The person’s name can be written

with paint pen marker on the balloon before it is released. Donations from the balloon release will be used to help build the memorial.

Individuals or organizations inter­ested in making a contribution for a balloon, or working on the balloon release project, should Contact Mr. Louis J. Stellato Jr. at Ippolito-Stellato Funeral Home, 425 Ridge Road, Lvndhurst, (201)438-4664.

Although over 16 million served in uniform and millions more supported the war effort at home, there is no na­tional monument to Woild War II. In 1993 Congress tasked the American Battle Monuments Commission with raising funds for constructing a Na-

tional World War 11 Memorial. About $75 million of the $100 million re­quired to build the memorial has al­ready been raised.The National Funeral Directors As­

sociation has pledged to raise $5 mil­lion of the $25 million needed to con­struct the memorial. The memorial will feature a “ Registry o f Remem­brances” database that will include the names of any American veteran, or home front worker, for whom reg­istration forms have been received, these may be attained through the funeral home.The nationwide balloon release and

registration effort is the centerpiece of the NFDA campaign, according to Mr. Stellato.

on Main Avenue, in front o f a video/ peep show parlor called Video Palace.He called for two detectives from the Passaic force and the waiting game began. Fortunately it didn’t last long.

After about 15 minutes, according to tlie chief, the driver, identified as 29 year-old Michael Harrison o f New­ark. exited the video store. The police let him enter his vehicle and then made a “ motor vehicle” stop on the Jeep in order to apprehend Harrison, who was arrested without further incident.I iarrison admitted to them that he was stealing in order to support his heroin habit. Harrison is currently in Bergen County Jail, being held on $7500 bail, pending grand jury investigation and indictment.

For his part, O 'Connor says “ I’m a little embarrassed about the whole thing. It sounds so far-fetched.” He says that when the story first broke in the Bergen Record, he found out at that time that they received most of their information from the Wallington Police Department. Nonetheless, he’s glad that he was able to be part o f the arrest. Meanwhile, the purse-snatch­ing victim from Lyndhurst, Helen Wagner, was so pleased with what she described to them as a “ professional, caring attitude” that she brought the Lyndhurst Police some baked goods the next day as a “thank-you” gift. She said she is also writing a con­gratulatory letter to the Leader.

“ W e’ ve got a pretty good track record with this type o f crime,” he says. He notes that because o f the proximity o f larger, urbanized towns ii.i the area, many times criminals w ill come to the smaller towns to commit their crimes and run back to Newark, Paterson, Passaic, New York, “ or whatever. We take that personally here. The attitude with our guys is like , ‘ H ow dare you com e into I yndhurst to do that?’ ”

G rid lo ck alert:Rutherford bridge to shut for repairsB y D ebra W in te rs

Much to the dismay o f motorists and some local officials, the New Jersey Department o f Transportation (NJDOT) w ill be replacing the Union Avenue bridge, which connects Rutherfo rd to Route 2 1 and Passaic, forcing it to*"be closed for up to 16 months.

The bridge, w h ich is 103- years-old, w ill bedemolished and replaced with a new one, said Snehal Patel, project man­ager for the N JDOT. This bridge w ill have a wider span and a concrete deck as opposed to a metal one. Construc­tion is expected to begin after the first o f the year.

“ The new bridge w ill be similar to the Gregory Avenue bridge in W all­ington,” said Rutherford Borough Administrator Robert Gorman. He added, “ The project has been in the works for close to three years now.”

Given the length o f time it takes to bring down an existing bridge and construct a new one, the main con­cern again is traffic.

However, due to lack o f communi­cation on the part o f the N JD O T, Mayor Bernadette McPherson was unaware o f die Route 7 bridge project until just recently, but she was assured that all traffic problems stemming from the Union Avenue bridge construc­tion w ill be adhered to.

“ Detours have been worked out with the Rutherford Police Depart­ment,” said McPherson.

Motorists w ill be detoured either downstream to the Route 3 bridge or upstream to the Gregory Avenue bridge in Wallington, said Gorman,

The ¡03-year-old bridge is slated fo r replacement. Work is expected to begin after the new year.

Snehal Patel, NJDOT _______ Project Manager

who added that drivers could use the K ings land Avenue bridge in Lyndhurst i f they didn’t want to use the Route 3 bridge. However, that

could add to the anticipated traf­fic snarls gener­ated from the Route 7 bridge project since the Kingsland A v ­enue bridge has been deemed a detour route.

I'his configuration sparked a feud at a recent meeting at the North Arling­ton Borough Hall when the N JDO T announced its plans to replace the Route 7 bridge.

“Traffic would be a conceivable is­sue but how much exactly, I’m not sure,” Gorman said.

Rutherford, East Rutherford. Wall­ington, and Passaic have been made aware o f the Union Avenue bridge project. Additional officers w ill be placed at the intersection o f Paterson and Main avenues to handle traffic tie-ups, said Patel, who added, “as long as there are officers to move traf­fic along there won’t be any prob­lems.”

Local officials arc fearing the worst with both bridges under repair, how­ever, the N JD O T states that there will be no direct conflict unless drivers de­cide to use other routes.

Both bridges are in serious condi­tion, Patel said. “ To <Jelay the projects wouldn’t be in the best interest o f the boroughs, who, so far, have been in favo r o f go ing ahead w ith the projects,” said Patel.

The estimated completion date is Summer 2002, Gorman said.

Queen o f Peace High School in North Arlington recently sent a del­egation o f 28 students to Annapolis,Maryland to take part in an annual Model United Nations conference.The conference, which is held at the United States Naval Academy, yearly attracts hundreds o f students V ith an interest in politics and international public policy. =*

Sister Ann Jordan, CSJP, has long been the moderator o f the Model UN club at Queen o f Peace. A U.S. His­tory teacher at the school, Jordan was proud to announce that the Model UN club has gotten o f f to a good start this year.

“ We’ve got a strong group o f kids this year,” said Jordan.

The Naval Academy conference is the first in a total o f five conferences that the school’s delegation w ill at­tend throughout the rest o f the year.

Staged as a mock session o f numer­ous United Nations committees, stu­dents participate in a Model UN con­ference by representing a member nation. They argue for or against reso­lutions in exactly the same way del­egates to the UN in New York do. At the end o f a conference, representa­tive students who have shown excel­lence in delegation are given awards by the conference's host.

ITie Queen o f Peace delegation came away from the Naval Academy con­ference with about seven awards, ac­cording to Jordan. One delegate.Sophomore Matthew Janes/ko.

The Naval Academy Model United Nations conference took place be­tween Oct. 26 and 29. Queen o f Peace students were housed at a hotel out­side Annapolis, under the supervi* sion o f Jordan and religion teacher A llain Caparas.

Aside from giving students a little time away from home with their friends, the trip gave them the op­portunity to visit the embassies o f the nations they were representing. On Oct. 27, they headed to the cm*bass ics o f th e U n ite d K in g d o m andU»e Netherlands in Washington^.C.. receiving an informative briefing from embassy delegates concerning each nations polic ies and UN voting records.

Vietnam Vet recalls sitting on land mine holds next meetingBy D ebra W inters

A s Veteran’s Day approaches Nov.11, Americans across the country are once again reminded o f the hundreds o f thousands o f men and women who have laid their lives on the line for the sake o f our nation's freedom. One such story invo lves a former Lyndhurst resident who was deco­rated for bravery during the V ietnam War in 1967.

Sgt. Alan George Wilson, whose threatening task was to search out land mines, was awarded the Purple Heart, the Bronze Medal for valor and was subsequently promoted to his present rank at that time. Wilson also had been hospitalized for being too close to a mine when it exploded while he was on duty around the time he was awarded.

“We’re all very proud o f him. He's as much my brother as he is my husband's,” said Lucille Wilson o f Lyndhurst. Alan's sister-in-law.

Wilson was a machine gunner with the C Co., 3rd. Bn., 7th. Infantry, 99th. Infantry Brigade. Ten mines were found by Wilson, who was using an electric mine detector, during opera­tions in the rice fields o f Binh Chanh Province, located south o f Saigon. Several casualties were picked-up in

W a l k e d a w a y w i t h f e w i n j u r i e sthis heavily booby-trapped area.

The delicate procedure o f ripping a grenade was done by touching a fish­ing line which was strung across a narrow dyke, a few inches from the ground. The line was attached to the

Unsung Heroes

grenade by an open safety pin which slid out at the slightest tug.

Wilson was phenomenal in detect­ing land mines, however the device he used wasn’t always 100 percent effective.

On one occasion, his squad was involved in a night ambush. The sky was getting dark as they set out around 7 p.m. Walking almost 1,200 yards, they were nearing the ambush site when the leader yelled for them to halt and sent a team ahead to check out the area. At that point. W ilson sat down on a dyke, and quickly noticed something hard and sharp.

Cautiously searching the ground next to his leg. Wilson felt something metal. A t that moment, everything

stopped around him and he realized he was sitting on a mine. Warning the others in the troop that the area was loaded with mines, he carefully rose to his feet and got away with minimal injuries.

Veteran’ s Day brings with it many stories about America’s heroes and what they sacrificed. More and more people are beginning to recognize the true meaning o f this holiday, however, some feel that more needs to be done.

“ It’s a good thing that more people are understanding the meaning o f Veteran’s Day because sometimes it's overlooked,” said Wilson. He added. “ This country should do more for its veterans than it does right now too. We need a new president desperately and maybe then better jobs can be obtained by vets and better opportu­nities for those who want to open small businesses and take out loans. And hospitalization for vets needs to be improved as well.”

Wilson, 54, currently lives in Dingman's Fern, Pa., with his wife Linda, but was brought up on Sev­enth Street in Lyndhurst. He and Linda have three children. Kenneth. Lisa, and Jennifer, and two grand­daughters.

T H E F T - A food store on Ridge Road was the scene o f a theft on Nov. I .

S o n s o f P o la n d a sk in g fo r d o n a tio n sThe Association o f the Sons o f Po­

land is a Fraternal Benefit Society es­tablished in 1903 and has a history o f helping her brothers and sisters in Poland. The Association was ex­tremely active in caring for those less fortunate in the “old country” to the extent that the pre-war government awarded the organization the coveted “ Polonia Restituta” for extraordinary help to Poland in her time o f greatest need. The Association takes pride in this history and also takes action.

Several years ago donations were sent to help flood victims. Last year a special drive was held with public re­lations announcements in newspapers throughout the metropolitan area. The response was wonderful and a large cash donation was sent to help pro-

vide food and supplies for mentally and physically handicapped children.

During the month o f November the organization again asks for help. But first, a little about the circumstances o f these children. Most o f them come from dysfunctional families where the parents are not able to provide for their children. Many o f these young­sters are found on the streets beg­ging for food, and the lack o f hygiene in their environment opens the door to illness. Their school’s director and staff need to make time during the school day to get these children to wash themselves and also cook a meal for them which, in many cases, is their only food for the day.

The price o f democracy is very high. Polish citizens are now required to not only care for themselves but also for

others. The government no longer hands them their existence and those who are frail or do not have the ca­pacity to provide for themselves are being left behind.

During the month o f November do­nations w ill be collected at the home office. Besides money to cover the cost o f shipping donations o f soap, candy and school supplies, such as pencils and crayons or notebooks, are welcome. The organization has al­ready received a sizeable donation o f plastic rulers, probably enough for the -entire school!

Donations may be brought to the home office or mailed. The Associa­tion o f the Sons o f Poland is located at 333 Hackensack Street, Carlstadt N J07072.

Local veterans bring history alive

Duffy. PhH Spanola, Vic Monisera, Lucky Lednovich and Joe Catania captivated the students with stories of their first­hand experiences during World War II For more ideas on ways to honor the men and women that served this nation visit www va.gov/pubaff/vetsday/mdex html

W W I I v e t e r a n s r e c e i v e h i g h s c h o o l d i p l o m a sG overnor C h ris t ie Whitman

awarded high schoo l diplom as through the “Operation Recognition" program to more than 80 New Jersey World War II veterans attending a graduation ceremony at the War Me­morial in Trenton.

“ You missed high school’s mile­stones because your nation needed you, and you responded selflessly." said Gov. Whitman. “ We can’t give you back memories o f the senior prom or graduation. But we can put in your hand an important milestone - your high school diploma.’”

“Our diploma recipients here today are members o f a very elite group,” said the Governor. “ You are the ones who, in Bob Dole’s words, liberated whole continents from tyranny, armed with courage and stainless patrio­tism.”

“We w ill never forget you for that, and we w ill never stop being grate­ful,” added Gov. Whitman before handing out diplomas to those gradu­ates able to attend today’s gradua­tion. The State has issued 200 diplo­mas; 86 recipients attended the cer­emony to receive them.The New Jersey Department o f M ili­

tary and Veterans Affairs (D M A VA ) and the Department o f Education (DOE) jointly launched a program this Oct. 5 to honor World War II era vet­

erans who left high school to join the military and never received their d i­ploma. More than 400 o f New Jersey’s 100,000 living WWII veterans have already applied for their diplomas as part o f the program known as Opera­tion Recognition.

Any resident New Jersey veteran who left high school to enter military' service between the dates o f Sept. 16, 1940 and Dec. 3 1, 1946 is qualified to receive a state-endorsed high school diploma. This includes veterans o f all the branches o f service including Merchant Marine and Coast Guard as well as those who have earned a Gen­eral Educational Development D i­ploma (GED). Diplomas may also be issued posthumously, surviving fam­ily members o f eligible veterans are encouraged to apply.

“ This is a small recognition we can give in appreciation to those who sac­rificed their education to ensure our freedoms," said M ichael Warner, Deputy Commissioner for Veterans Affairs. D M A VA.

“ 1 am pleased to support this most worthy program,” said Commissioner o f Education David Hespe. “Through their patriotism and sacrifice, the men and women who served our nation during World War II have justly earned the distinction as ‘the great­est generation.” ’

“ I am asking local school leaders throughout the state to realize the opportun ities this program w ill present to enhance their social stud­ies and history currículums," Hespe continued. "Specifically, I w ill ask school districts to consider awarding these diplomas as part o f subsequent Veterans Day or Memorial Day obser­vances, or at regular commencement exercises. The Department can pro­vide assistance and information on how schools in other states have turned these occasions into memo­rable and moving celebrations."

Programs similar to Operation Rec­ognition have been established in other states including Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Massachu­setts, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Carolina. Wisconsin and West V ir­ginia.

To apply for Operation Recognition diplomas, veterans must send a copy o f their DD-214 or discharge papers, the name and address o f the high school they attended, the year they would have graduated, their name, address and daytime phone number to Operation Recognition, New Jer­sey Department o f Military and Vet­erans Affairs, Eggert Crossing Road Box 340, Trenton, NJ 08625-0340. For more information, call Patty Ann Rich­ter at (609) 530-6868.

Rutherford Community Chest reports another good yearEntering the second month o f the

2000-2001 campaign the Community Chest o f Rutherford reports results compare favorably with other years. The 55th annual drive is traditionally gimmick free. N o address labels, greet­ing cards, calendars or other unsolic­ited merchandise is included or needed for the simple message: local funds are solicited for local agencies which benefit from the cost savings o f One Drive for All.

In adddition to the Rutherford agen­cies supported such as Starfish, Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts,the Ruther­ford Baseball Council and the Mead- owlands Museum,the Rutherford So­cial Service office has received grants. Used at the discretion o f the director, these funds are provided to assist Rutherford residents in needs not covered by other guidelines.

It is also noted that no optional

amount o f donation is listed on the return form, leaving the donors to give as much or as little as they choose.

Another advantage is to hand de­liver the contribution to Rutherford Borough Hall, saving a stamp. A col­lection box is maintained in the Ruth­erford Tax o ffic e and many Rutherfordians deposit their envelope there as they visit the Borough Hall for other business.

RJF Senior & Pee-Wee Dogs top Devils 2001 season ticketsThejBulftftt Seniors broke back into

the winner’s column on Sunday Oc­tober 29 with a 19-6 win over the Wood-Ridge Blue Devils. The cap­tains Tor week eight were Gilbert Rosaido, Brandon O ’ Keefe, Jack Gardner, and Andrew Segediri.

The Bulldogs’ first score came quickly after Tim Ryan’s return o f the opening kickoff to the Rutherford 30. Jeffrey Jones’ first run went 12 yards but was called back on a penalty. Corey Dunn carried for 20 yards to the Wood-Ridge 48 and Jones ran in a toMchdown on the next play. Brendan McClintock lined up to kick for extra points but ended up passing to Corey Wootton for one point.Wood-Ridge’s first plays from scrim­

mage after the kick were crushed in the center o f the line. A Jones inter­ception was called back for a Ruther­ford penalty, and Wood-Ridge punted on a 4* and 12 situation. The punt rolled to the Rutherford 7-yard line. Dunn ran for a first down, Jones for 4 additional yards, and McClintock for 12 yards, but the Bulldogs fumbled on the next play and Wood-Ridge re­covered. The next Wood-Ridge se­ries failed, and they punted again to the Rutherford 25. McClintock took a pitchout on the left side and ran for

52 yards to the Wood-Ridge 13 with two great blocks by Jones. Jones made a touchdown on the next play and Rutherford took a 13-0 lead. Dunn raced down field after McClintock’s kick and fought o ff 3 defenders be­fore making a crushing tackle o f the

' ball carrier. Steven Kupryk stopped the Blue Devil offense as the first half ended.

McClintock kicked o ff to start the second half. The Rutherford line stopped the Blue Devil offense with the help o f a sack by Corey Wootton. Gilbert Rosado ran an interception back to the Wood-Ridge 30, but it was called back on penalty. Two runs by Dunn and Jones moved the ball again to the W ood-R idge 30 where McClintock fought the ball into the end zone for a touchdown, which was called back by a penalty. Bradley Marquart made 8 yards and then Kasey Lord made a first down to the 2-yard-line. Jack Gardner moved the ball in for a touchdown. The attempt at point failed to leave Rutherford in the lead 19-0.

Corey Dunn made another power­ful tackle o f the kickoff return, and Lord narrowly missed two intercep­tions. Kevin Sherba and Brian Miceli

sacked the quarterback on a fourth down situation to turn the ball over to Rutherford. However, Rutherford fumbled to give the ball back. Ben Gentile, Gardner, Brandon Watley, Brandon O ’Keefe, Andrew Segedin, Tim Lanni, Michael Donlon, and Dave Hoskin went in on defense.

The Wood-Ridge offense was pushed back to a 4* and long situa­tion but were able to break loose for a touchdown from their own 25-yard- line. The point attempt failed to make the score 19-6. O ’ Keefe returned the kickoff to the Blue Devil 47. Follow­ing a 5-yard gain by McClintock, a Lord to Wootton pass moved the ball to the Wood-Ridge 15, where another Bulldog fumble turned the ball over again. This Wood-Ridge offensive was very short-lived as Rosado inter­cepted a pass and returned the ball to the Wood-Ridge 3-yard line, where the Bulldogs ran the clock out to end the game.

The Junior Bulldogs (2-6) were un­successful in their contest with the Junior B lue Devils losing 18-0. Rutherford’s Peewee Bulldogs (4-1 -3) had an impressive win over Wood- Ridge’s Peewee Blue Devils with an 18-0 shutout victory.

Flag Football finishes season in NAOr\Saturday, Nov. 4, the flag foot­

ball teams o f North Arlington trav­eled'to Lyndhurst to play the last games o f this, their inaugural season. Flag football is open to boys and girls in the first grade or kindergarten. There is no tackling and no equip­ment is worn. The Gold team came away with a decisive 6-0 victory over their Lyndhurst opponents. With Joe Poland at quarterback the team scored early and often. Poland con­nected on two occasions with the speedy Ryan Ulrich for two scores. Poland also ran in two touchdowns, while Ulrich also carried the ball into the end zone after a fine run. The other Gold team score was the result o f a power run by Andrew Paparelli. The other player who really sparked the offense was the talented and speedy Vincent Palmieri.

Defensively, the Gold team relied

on the play o f Chris Cultrara, David Reichers, and Robert Marrero. Kyle Ellis and Robert McCarthy were able to stack the line and prevent Lyndhurst from getting their ground game go­ing. Also contributing to the win were James Awad, Robert Gratson, and Aaron Johnson.

The Black team did not fair as well as the Gold team. They dropped a tightly contested game by a 3-1 score. The Black team’s lone score was the result o f the running o f Robert Mullan. The offense was led by Quarterback Ed Hall He was joined in the backtleld by the speedy Travis Orovio, Dylan Santos, and the pow erfu l M ike Clifford. Bob Keegan shone at the wide receiver position. The game was a defense battle and the anchor o f the defense was Big N ick Antiorio. The two way line play o f Jesse Groome, Brian Topoleski, Steve Gross, and

Steve Cicala was the key to the suc­cess o f both the offense and the de­fense. Matthew DeRogatis and Mat­thew Piscal were also major con­tributors

This was the first year that the Leader organization has sponsored a Flag Football Program. In August when the season began it was un­known whether the venture would be

’»fc success. Well, it is now November and the overwhelming opinion is that the effort was well worth it.

The youngsters were given the op­portunity to leam some fundamen tals while for the first time experi­encing the need for teamwork. The most important part o f the program was that it was all fun with no pres­sure. The officers o f the league have already received indications that there w ill be even more participants next year.

Bv J ames Dombrowski The anything but much anticipated

heavyweight title match-up between Lennox Lewis and David Tua will take place on Saturday, Nov. 11 on Pay- Per-View. The heavily favored Lewis is making a mandatory fight against Tua whose 37-1 record is bloated against lesser contenders.

A Grand Central Station press con­ference was held last week with Lewis performing a sparring session to a

crowd of nearly 1000 fightfem. Rutherford Flag Football teams closed out the sea-

M ike’s unexpected visit to his public workout, Lewis quietly stated that he was happy to have M ike in the audi­ence.

“Tyson has a fascination with me and when the Tua fight is over I will turn my attention on Tyson,” said Lewis.The Newark Bears will put 2001 tick­

ets on sale beginning November 13.The Bears w ill begin the 2001 season at home on Friday, May 11 The Bears are slated for 72 home games plus the 2001 Atlantic League All-Star Game scheduled for Wednesday, July II.Call (973) 438-6900 for more info.

NA Leader Football honors 8th graders

The North Arlington Leader Foot­ball program recently honored the 8th grade members o f both the cheer­leader squad and football team. The ceremony took place in the end zone just before the Senior game.

The cheerleaders and the football players assembled at mid-field. As the name o f each cheerleader was an­nounced she walked to the end zone, where her parents were waiting, and presented them with a rose. This was soon followed by the announcing o f the name o f each football player.They, too, walked to the end zone and presented a rose to their parents.

The theme o f the evening was “He­roes.” Throughout the years that their children were enrolled in the program, the parents o f the children got them | back and forth to the practices and I cheered for them at the games. On this night, the idea was to honor not only I the youngsters, but the parents who had shown such dedication. The cer­emony was conducted with the Bette M id ler Song, “ Wirvd Beneath My Wings” playing in the background.

The graduating cheerleaders who were honored were: Carolyn Brobeck,Leisa Cassano, Jacqueline Ciccone,Mary Cricco, Stephanie DeGrazio,Emily Dennis, Samantha Doffont, Brit­tany G ig lio , Irlene Hate, Racheal Kellert, Michelle Kim, Pamela Leckie,Stephanie Marshall, Erin McShane and Caroline Worth.

The graduating football players who were honored were: Kevin Chester,Matthew St. Germain, Wayne Fasano,Gary Giordano, Zach Roman, Michael Lamego, Vito DeSena, Sean Savage,Keith Bostwick, Randy Lehman, Phil Kelichner.

W a l l i n g t o n t e a m s h o n o r e dThe Wallington High School sports

teams did it again during the 1999- 2000 athletic season. They won the Sportsmanship Award for the third year in a row. The school also received this recognition in 1989.

Th^entire school community is as proud O f this accomplishment as any chanqrionships that the teams have won.

The Sportsmanship Award is spe­cial because the other nine teams in the conference select the school that displayed good sportsmanship in all sports. The coach for each sport rates the opposing coach, players and fans on a scale o f I to 4. The scores are

then compiled and averaged to deter­mine the school winner.

The Wallington teams have won league and state titles in the past and w ill do so again in the future. It is the way in which these titles are attained that is important, through hard work, team effort and unity o f purpose. The same emphasis is placed on winning.

When the athletes shake hands with the opposing team at the end o f the game or pack up the equipment at the end o f the season, they know that their effort and the manner in which they have conducted themselves is equally as important as winning that game or championship.

The vacant lots of childhood, where did they goV a g a b o n d i n g

I ì\ ( 'hurl otic Sa\ inu

Years ago the World Scries was held in the afternoon. There were no such things as lighted ball parks. Any af­ternoon during fhe series, stores hav­ing radios going were filled with men standing listening to the series tak­ing a few minutes o ff from their jobs to listen.

We allowed children to bring their radios to school so that they listened to the series while doing their school- work. I.wonder how much they learned ¿bout the subjects while lis­tening.

One time a bright eighth grade boy knew an influential man who gave him enough World Series tickets for him to take his entire class o f boys to an afternoon game. We had no boys in class that afternoon.

O f course I had to show my dis­pleasure by scolding the boy the next day. His answer was, “Men who work in offices were able to attend," so he saw no reason why he could not. I answered, “ But those men are estab­lished in life. You are not," an answer that made no impression.

I have not seen that boy since. He was in the eighth grade but I under­stand that he is now a lawyer in a prestigious law firm somewhere in Essex county. I wonder i f he saw the World Series this year.

There seems to be a rekindling o f information about the life o f Thomas Wolfe who wrote the award winning novel Look Home war d^A ngel. Arfyn Broccoli,'an independent scholar, ind (Jeleled. her husband Matthew J. Broccoli, f When my brother was a student atprofessor o f English at the Univer- New York University Thomas Wolfe

who inculcated in the students that he was an undisciplined author.

Perkins was the greatest discoverer o f literary talent in the country and was a great critic o f Wolfe’s book.

Wolfe’s finished book was rejected by several publishers. Finally Peikins took over as the publisher o f the book and became a father figure to Wolfe, the father he never had. Perkins, the father o f five daughters, was glad to treat Wolfe as a son, the son he never had.

Perkins trimmed the book, making it shorter. He shortened passages and omitted parts he considered objection­able* Professor Broccoli does not agree diat somfe passages should have been

sity o f South Carolina, are looking into the correspondence between Wolfe and his publisher Perkins, and members o f the Scribner staff. Most never have been published in their entirety.

It was known that Perkins edited Wolfe’s manuscript heavily so that he became incapable o f writing. It was said that his manuscript was sloppy and undisciplined. A generation of college students were taught about Wolfe by antagonistic professors

was a teacher there. M y brother inter­viewed him and he gave him a copy o f the book. Look Homeward, Angel. A few years ago we had a call from some­one who wanted to know if we still had the book, but unfortunately it had been lent to someone who never returned it.

My sister tells me it was the unexpur­gated version o f the book and after reading it my father threw it across the room and said, “ Trash."

Maybe Perkins was right trying to delete some o f the offensive parts.

I often think o f the set o f Balzac's works gathering dust on our book­shelves, whether my father thought them trash. I never tried to read any o f Balzac. The books are very unat­tractive. One time my curiosity got the better o f me and I‘picked out one and read a few pages. I was so surprized. They were a bit o ff color, raunchy. “ M y goodness,” I thought, “ Does my father read things like this?” I will admit I never saw him reading any o f them, but he had the whole set and must have read them when he was younger. The author is well known.

Our ever faithful Madeline J. Huss o f Bowie, Maryland, sent me an­other article in which she remem­bers the vacant lots o f Lyndhurst. I remember them too, but most of them are gone. There are very few vacant lots in Lyndhurst. Here is her article:

In the days o f my childhood. Mom used to stand at the screen door ready to greet me when I returned home from school. She’d listen to my tales o f woe. I’d tell her about the less than perfect flower I'd drawn in art class, the scolding I

received from Mrs. Grabowski for talk­ing out o f turn. I’d show her my knee which I’d skinned when I fell o ff the playground swing at recess. Mom would pour me a glass o f milk to go with the fig newtons I loved and give me a quick hug. Then she’d say, “Change your clothes and go out and play. The fresh air w ill do you good.”

The games we played were endless limited only by our imagination. Jump rope, tag, you’re it, hopscotch we played them all. I remember a game called, “ I declare war” , the details o f which I forget except that the idea was to find a country with the long­est possible name.

M y favorite country was Czecho­slovakia. When I shouted, "I declare war on Czechoslovakia," it gave me ample time to run away before being tagged. I switched to another coun­try when I discovered that Hitler had done just that -stolen away the land from the Czechs.

Then, there was the jungle in my backyard. When I needed time alone, I retreated to my favorite spot behind the garage and surveyed my own pri­vate jungle. The marshland surround­ing our house lay moist and dank. A wild profusion o f exotic vegetation bloomed. Skunk cabbages, poison­

ous inkberry bushes and cattails flourished among the weeds.

It was a spooky place. NoxioOs odors emanated from its center and the cawing o f strange birds filled the air. Garden snakes were known to slither out from behind the bushes and once a stray black cat streaked past me nearly scaring me to death.

When a gang o f us attempted a sa­fari through the marshes, I stepped knee deep in swampy water. Scream­ing for help, I was sure I was caught in quicksand just like the Tarzan mov­ies I watched on Saturday after­

noons.As I grew older, the vacant lots

gradually disappeared. Small houses were built to fill the empty spaces. The marshes were drained and re­placed by a six family apartment build­ing. Soon all the play places were gone andthe jungle was no more.

Now. if I were to drive by, I wouldn’t recognize the place where I grew up. The kids today have fancy malls, video arcades and television in place o f dreams. As for me, I miss the va­cant lots o f childhood.

Thank you. Madeline, for remem­bering us and sending your thoughts.

Route 7 bridge will close next weekThe New Jersey Department o f

Transportation proposes to replace the existing bascule bridge over the Passaic River with a vertical lift bridge and realign the approach from the North Arlington/Kearny side. This project also proposes to increase the lane widths, new pavement markings and signs, improve roadway lighting and drainage facilities, and new traf­fic signals.

On or about Nov. 15, the Route 7 Bridge over Passaic River w ill be closed to traffic. Motorists are ad­vised to plan alternate routes and avoid the project vicinity in order to minimize traffic congestion in the area. The New Jersey Department o f Trans­portation is sorry for the inconve­nience as a result o f this bridge clo­sure but it is necessary for the bridge

to be built and delivered to the pub- lic.

Once the bridge is shut down, there will'be two immediate crossings for alternate routes. To the north o f the Route 7 Bridge is the Park Avenue- Kingsland AVenue Crossing and to the south is, the Clay Street-Central Avenue Crossing. Adequate signing w ill be provided along River Road in North Arlington, which w ill be the primary detour route. Police traffic di­rectors w ill be deployed at intersec­tions, which are expected to become very congested, such as Kingsland Avenue/River Road, during the initial period following closure to assist in expediting traffic flows through the intersection. Detour signs w ill be in­stalled along Broadway, Washington Avenue, McCarter Highway (Route 21), Kearny Avenue/Ridge Road and

Schuyler Avenue. Variable Message Signs (VMS) w ill be provided along outlying roadways to warn the mo­torists that Route 7 Bridge is closed or w ill be closed and for them to plan alternate route.

There w ill be a slight change from the normal or present traffic pattern. Rutgers Street w ill be partially closed to traffic, Exit 8 on Route 2 1 (north bound) serves as an egress to Park Avenue (east bound and west bound). For the duration o f the Route 7 Bridge closure, Park Avenue (west bound) from the exit ramp to Nutley w ill be closed.

The construction cost is estimated at $32,500,000. This does not include costs for Utility relocation and R.O.W. acquisition. The new bridge is ex­pected to be opened to traffic on or about July 15,2002.

A'euM- m the- êchmliO P H S c t i io p c O u r M iw R rn n k v f n r I q i io h c S t Michael the Archangel announces its students of the month

U IU U IY J I V 1 l a u g i n St. Michael the Archangel Elemen- and Daniela Macaluso; Grade 1: 6: Clara Rodriguez and M ichae lby Philip Silva

On Nov. 3, the curtain rose on this year’s fall drama production at Queen o f Peace High School. The three-act comedy, Our M iss Brooks, is the story o f a school teacher earnestly trying to put on a play with a motley crew o f students at her disposal. froduced and directed by Kelly Kulick and Dana Samo, two teachers at the high school, the show brought out some new stage talent from the student body.

Rehearsal for Our Miss Brooks be­gan in early October, giving the cast little more than a month to prepare. Yet the student actors were up to the challenge, and in the end produced a satisfying comedy for their audiences.

Justine McCarthy, a junior, played the lead role o f M iss Brooks. McCarthy was a relative newcomer to

the stage, having spent most o f her theater days at Queen o f Peace work­ing behind the scenes. Joseph Cirillo, a sophomore, played the role o f Hugo Longacre, the gym coach w ith a grudge against M iss Brooks. C irillo was involved in tech crew work in last spring's school musical.

Juniors Yanick Salazar, Meghan Kurta, and A lic ia Calisto showed promise for a future in stage comedy. C a listo ’ s characterization o f the perenially frumpy band instructor M iss Audubon kept the audience laughing, while Kurta and Salazar added sarcasm and hilarity through their portrayals o f Elsie and Doris.

Christian Matthews and Simone Sena, two freshman starting their the­atrical careers at Queen o f Peace, both

gave performances that could not be missed. The show's supporting cast kept up the pace, proving themselves to be instrumental to the show's suc­cess.

The set was built under the direc­tion o f Queen o f Peace alumni Scott Hughes. James G il l and Jessica Markley, both students at Queen o f Peace, managed the stage crew for Our M iss Brooks.

Queen o f Peace High School tradi­tionally produces a fall drama and a spring musical every school year. Last year’s production o f Pippin gained the accla im o f judges from the Paperm ill Playhouse in the p layhouse 's yearly R is ing Star Awards competition.

St. Michael the Archangel Elemen* tary school principal Mary D. Baier has announced the school’s students o f the month. The following list is for the month o f October.

Kindergarten: Christopher Ziomek

and Daniela Macaluso; Grade 1: Evelyn Adamski and Alyssa Sauls; Grade 2; Hannah Swillingerand Cody Morrison; Grade 3: Jonae DiGiovanni; Grade 4: Kerri-Ann Mascellino and Jeanina Àbramo; Grade 5. Lucia Rodriguez and William Dybus; Grade

6: Clara Rodriguez and M ichae l Branin; Grade 7: Tara K inyo and Joshua Dybus; Grade 8: KathleenDomaracki and Gina Facchin.

Certificates were awarded to these students for cooperation and helpful behavior throughout the month.

Students at the Jefferson school learn compassion in UNICEFCompassion is a special quality, and

an active, ongoing process. The teaching family in North Arlington has announced that it endeavors to instill this characteristic in every student at all grade levels. Jefferson School in North Arlington is reportedly pleased and oroud to have students who have

Since the Leader has four editions covering six towns, we endorse local candidates on the appropriate front pages. The main editorial page we leave for county, state and presiden­tial endorsements.

Editorials and endorsements arc ultimately written by the editor. The content, however, is decided by consensus. The Leader staff (see masthead above) discusses area topics on a regular basis. In the course of discussions, editorial topics are decided and our “stand” detailed.

We encourage our readers to send letters, questions and comments to the editor's atten­tion. We also hope you'll send us ideas for fu­ture editorial topics. Wc look forward to your input!

To the Editor:On behalf o f the Sierra C lub North

Jersey G*oup (a majority o f whose members reside in Bergen County), we would like to publicly thank Repre­sentative Steve Rothman (D-9th) for his strong and courageous stand against the proposed “Meadowlands M ills" mega-mall and for his support for the establishment o f a Hackensack Meadowlands W ildlife Refuge.Over a year ago, in a Record Op-Ed

p iece (6/30/99), Congressman Rothman recognized that it was “ in­sanity" to build another mall in the Meadowlands because o f the added

harm to our quality o f life. “ Pollution in the Hackensack River,” he pointed out, “ is declining, and families can now see rare birds, ducks and other w ild life returning to the Meadow­lands. We cannot go back."

Since then, the Congressman has taken an active role in the debates and negotiations over the future o f the Meadowlands, advocating that the M ills project be moved out o f wet­lands to a more suitable site in an al­ready developed area. Steve Rothman believes that protecting our remain­ing open space treasures - like our Meadowlands - is o f critical impor-

traf fic gridlock and the immeasurable tance.

We and the rest o f New Jersey’s environmental community look for­ward to working closely with the Con­gressman in the coming months to build on both his record and our com­mitment to bring the Hackensack Meadowlands W ild life Refuge to re­ality.

fn e need to help makes a person a nurseTo the Editor The cornerstone o f every hospital's

overall medical care program, the source of its excellence and reputa­tion in each o f its programs is its nurs­ing «taff. Doctors select and use the aioal effective procedures, but it is aMmalely the nurse who provides the m onitoring, follow up and recovery eaM, the link between the theoretical, A t technical and the pragmatic. Each are equally essential to the success of every medical procedure each and tvwytime.

jective terms it must be experienced. All else is, “a finger pointing at the

Virtually all hospitals have their nurs­ing staff on a 12 hour shift. That is a torturously long time to be on one's feet, often running to answer calls, giving medications or simply chcck- ing on a patient that may require a little extra care. The nurse has an ob-

orders and insure that they do not con­flict with previous orders. If such con­flict does exist the doctor mu>t be in­formed as diplomatically as possible or else certain professional idiosyn­crasies may be ruffled. The nurse is expected to be as alert and pleasantly attentive to the needs o f as many as fifteen patients for the entire twelve hour shift. They are also the most convenient target for a patients strik­ing out at their world's pain, frustra­tion and despair. As an emotional uplift the shift’s administrative duties are often completed on the nurse’s time. You can thank the H M O o f your choice for those medically sound con­ditions.

The twelve hour shift still allows twelve whole hours for personal obli­gations, keeping up to date on the lat­est treatments, being informed on the introduction o f new drugs, attending seminars, studying advanced courses, being on call in case o f emer­gencies, sleeping and other wild fri­volities.

One must ask, why would any rea­sonably sane, intelligent, well edu­cated human being work so hard to become and remain a nurse. Most cer­tainly it’s not the pay, for there are menial functionaries in business at­tire that are paid a far higher wage (please note I did not say “ earn.” )

Middle management sycophants are granted more status. Job security, I doubt it for any one mistake can end a spotless career o f many years. Many totally dependent hospital patients fail most miserably to give their nurse the respect they richly deserve. To con­sider this to be an easy profession one must carry stupidity to the nth level, in any case the rigors o f train­ing and the demands o f the profes­sion separate the wheat from the chafe.-

The answer to the question must lie in a place apart from our common physical or “ real" world; in the indi­vidual psyche or soul. The only rea­sonable impetus for the drive to be­come a nurse must lie in an unshak­able characteristic need to help. In short it must be a calling that w ill not be denied. I would imagine that for such a person watching a patient re­cover more than compensates for all that went before. And once again we are met with an intangible that tangi­bly and deeply effects us all.

A point to ponder is how long a soul so sensitive to the needs o f others can keep recovering from watching “that inexplicable moment when a liv­ing being breathes into death."

Address:

High taxes are the road to slaveryTo the Editor:

At the last meeting o f the Ruther­ford Taxpayers Association, I made a statement: “ If our government keeps spending at the current rate, we w ill not be able to afford to live hefe.” After reading Dr. Walter W illiams Thoughts, one must repeat that, “ in a free market government, anyone can’t get a dollar from me unless I volun­teer to give it to them. But, once we gave government the power to lay and collect taxes, we gave government our individual freedom.”

Now Freedom vs. Slavery is reduced toe Do you have any rights to the

cates some or all o f the freedom to own and use property. In 1902, all lev­els o f government totaled 1.7 billion dollars, and the average taxpayer paid only $60 per year in taxes. The aver­age taxpayer now spends $8,000 per year in taxes.

From 1787 to 1920. government ex­penditures never exceeded four per cent o f the gross national product, except in wartime. Today, it’s almost 30 per cent o f G N P. For local govern­ment to be all things for all people is dehumanizing and is a step toward totalitarianism. Anything that weak­ens the institution o f private property

fruits o f your labor. Taxation confis- interferes with attainment 6f the

American dream.As taxes rise, we own less o f what

we earn. If the tax rate were to ever reach 100 per cent, the government would have destroyed private prop­erty and you would own nothing o f what you had earned. Does this sound like slavery?

We, the taxpayers o f Rutherford, must recognize that the big spenders are back in town and it is our job to educate the public o f their spending habits.

Dr. William Gelinas Rutherford

Veteran dismayed at public lack of respectTo the Editor:

(Ed ito r 5 note: the fo llow ing letter was w ritten to the G eneral M anager o f the New Jersey Sports and Exposi­tion Authority, East Rutherford.)

On Oct. 11 I attended a game at your facility between the New Jersey Nets and the Miami llcatv As is so cojn- mon prior to the game, the national anthem was played. As an American senior citizen, and also the Senior Vice Commander o f the V.F.W. Post 3149,1 was appalled at the style o f the three men singing our national anthem. Not only were they poor in quality, they sang our song in the style o f rap mu­sic. .

I am not sure about you, but I don’t recall our nation’ s song being written try.

to be delivered in that fashion, it was truly a disgrace to our nation. In addi­tion to the disrespect these three men showed to our country', the attention given to the salute to our flag by the fans in the arena was less than desir­able. I understand that you cannot control the fans standing to respect , o u r I I b k . and to remove their ha ts , b u twhen you hire the quality o f singers like those who sang that day, it’s no wonder fans find it hard to pay atten­tion, and show respect.

I would like to believe that you and your organization would, and do not approve o f this disrespect to our na­tion, but I can't help to hold you re­sponsible for allowing this lack o f American respect to our great coun-

I hope that you find this as upset­ting as I do, and that you see to it that this kind o f circus act towards our country w ill never take place again inyour facility.

As Senior Vice Commander o f V.F. W. Post 3149,1 w ill voice my concerns to the veterans in our area, and ask each and everyone o f them to act as a watch dog for the lack o f respect that takes place in your facility. This is not the first time 1 have witnessed this at the complex, this has also taken place during the Jet games.

Heartfelt thanks to Clara Maass staff

Carlstadt and East Rjtherford A L L have been prepared in the same way! How much bener administrative, spe­cial education, guidance, and other departments would be utilized! How much more efficient building space could be used! How much money would be saved by having one su­perintendent, one business adminis­trator, and one child study team in­stead o f three!

It is time for our two communities, while sharing so much, put aside “ home rule” desires and look toward unifying and thus strengthening the education o f our children. After all. they should and w ill be the primary beneficiaries o f such an undertaking.

Dr. Nicholas Errico Carlstadt

( The follow ing letter is addressed to the s ta ff o f C lara M aass M edical Center. The w riter passed aw ay on Oct. 31, and it was her wish that this letter o f thanks he published.)To the Editor:

What’s fifteen minutes o f your time for a questionnaire? N O T ENOUGH!

I have heard so many things about Clara Maass Medical Center, but now you can hear it from me, G lo ria Ippolito.I have experienced nothing but qual­

ity care from the doctors, nurses, techs, aides and even housekeeping. They all have gone over and above their line o f duty.

For example, what hospital have you ever been in, where the staff would say, "I'm praying fo r you. ” or "Good morning Ma M a, " with a hug and a kiss? That was better then any p ill I could take!

rhe cleanliness o f the hospital is another fine feature. It is kept immacu­late.

As for my doctors and their associ­ates. 1 don’t think any o f them are over five foot but in my eyes they are ten feet tall. They have helped me in ev­

ery Way possible to fight to live and get better. I pray to God that he blesses them to keep helping people. It’s not only their medical knowledge and talent, it is their warmth, kindness and compassion that are a quality beyond compare.

If there is anyone's name I did not remember to mention here, 1 thank you too.

I would just like to say, “ Thank you from the bottom o f my heart. I w ill never forget the kindness and warmth I've experienced at Clara Maass Medi­cal Center.”

I just hope that i f anyone is sick, you pray there is a bed at Clara Mass Medical Center and don’t let anyone tell you different.

R o s b u r y - Y o d e r t a k e s e x c e p t i o n t o e n d o r s e m e n tTo the Editor

This letter, in response to the News Leader endorsement published in Thursday, Nov. 2 edition, was written and submitted the Friday before the election o f Tuesday, Nov. 7.

First, let me extend my personal thanks and the thanks o f my running mates Dick Allen and Scottie Mackie to a ll those who contributed to, helped with and/or worked for our election. Whatever the results, we want to say that your support was and is greatly appreciated - much more than you know.

Second, to the winners o f the elec­tion (whoever you areX my heartiest congratulations on your success and my personal good wishes that your term in office w ill be good for the people o f Rutherford and for you per­sonally. Regardless o f w ho won, they deserve to be congratulated. Running for election is a stressful and tiring

experience for A L L who participate and that effort should be recognized and appreciated.

Finally, to the unnamed author o f the endorsement o f Bartlett, Ross and Allen, I am obliged to express my out­rage and astonishment. To imply that credit for the “rebirth” o f Rutherford should go to the current Democratic administration, with only slight lip service to the mostly Republican ef­forts o f the last several years is flatly wrong. Worse, your endorsement is a travesty o f editorial bias, half-truths and exaggerations.

The truth is that municipal accom­plishments are rarely the results o f one party or one person or even a few persons. Most projects take YEAR S to conce^gftfevelop, plan, approve, fun da iu flp o te . For example, to be­lieve that the current administration actually achieved a 500+ increase in grants, on their own and in just eight

to ten months is ludicrous and naive. By granting such shallow and mis­leading ideas the weight o f your edi­torial blessing, you do gross disser­vice to the public you serve.

A s for your characterization o f me as “ short on concrete proposals", you apparently have not actually read my “ voluminous letters” or heard me speak before the Council, Board o f Adjustment. Planning Board. Board o f Education and meetings o f the CCNC. Those who H A V E know that I (and others) have offered many, many specific ideas and proposals for the benefit o f Rutherford along with a healthy dose o f “philosophy” .

I’m afraid that in this piece you are long on editorial double-speak and short on the facts and the courage to

publicly own your opinions.

You can pay more than '4,500.00 to con­vert to gas heat when you include installa­tions and the other extras.

And after paying for an expensive installa­tion, you then have to pay higher energy costs. The US Energy Department reports oil has been less expensive than gas for the past 7 years in a row.

And our customers paid less for heating their home than any other source: Gas, Electric o r Propane. Even with higher oil costs projected, our participating customers pay less with our Price Protection Plan.Call for details.

Pro-Cho ice Candidates are in fa­

vor o f the right to k ill, which, log i­

cally, makes them pro-abortion as

Well.I f you “ G o fo r it !” today; you m ight “ Suffer for it!” tomorrow.

In a true Christian community the

leader serves a ll the members o f the community.

The “N ow Generation” does not consider possible problems o f the

future. “ D ivorce Costs” are much more than the money in­

volved.N o one can go to heaven on one’ s own merit because no one knows where Heaven is. God must take us there. Jesus has

promised to prepare a place for us. H is promise o f peace is fulfilled.

“ G o for it!” works w ell w hen you get the honey, but not so w ell when the Bee Stings follow .
