TOWNS TO INVESTIGATE POSSIBLE POLICE MERGER

Officials in three area towns have resolved to begin discussions about possible merger of their police departments following by a resounding vote by their residents in favor of such talks. “Residents clearly want a potential police merger. We heard them and will move quickly,” said Norwood Mayor James P. Barsa. The unofficial tally in the borough was 998 for and 291 against. He said he planned to schedule meet-

ings with Northvale and Harrington Park – the other two boroughs that support the move – to consider the options. The Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office is offering a program to supply grants to towns who endorse such an initiative. “We’re looking to use those monies for studies without costing taxpayers anything,” Mayor Barsa said. Police chiefs in the three towns did not immediately respond to calls for comment. Northvale Mayor Peter Perretti, who

will serve until the end of the year, said, “We have a new mayor….I’ll leave this up to the new Mayor and Council.” He said, “We just signed a $300,000 contract with Rockleigh to provide police services for 2012. We receive $357,000 now to patrol Rockleigh. We have a mutual agreement….We have consolidated with another town; I don’t know how this will affect another consolidation. I don’t know if it will save more money. It’s up to the next council to investigate.” Mayor Perretti said, “It would have to

make sense…to be logical…We would have to save more than $300,000.” The unofficial vote total in Northvale on the ballot question, which also included the Department of Public Works, was 789246. Democrat Paul Bazela won the mayoralty. Patrick J. Marana and Gloria M. Libby, also Democrats, won Borough Council seats. Harrington Park Mayor Paul A. Hoelscher did not immediately return a call for comment.

The NJ Transit Board of Directors on Wednesday, Nov. 10, approved a contract that will provide security and terrorism awareness training for its frontline employees, funded by a grant received through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Transit

Security Grant Program. “The security of our transportation network will be further enhanced by training that assists our bus operators, train crews, regional supervisors, police officers, and other frontline employees in recognizing and report-

ing potential threats,” said NJ Transit Executive Director James Weinstein. “The ability to recognize, report and respond to potential terrorist or criminal activity at the earliest stage is critical to protecting our bus, rail and light rail system.” The Board authorized a $4.3 million contract with Protecting the Homelands Innovations, LLC, for the implementation of ProActive Terrorist Recognition and Interdiction

Operations and Tactics (PATRIOT) System training to approximately 9,500 NJ Transit employees. Based in Massachusetts, Protecting the Homelands Innovations is the only company authorized by the federal and state departments of Homeland Security to offer this training. NJ Transit received a total grant amount of $9 million; the remaining will be used toward related materials, equipment and other costs.

It gives me the opportunity to really make a difference in someone’s life. That’s why I have dedicated myself to this field.”

Dr. Fred Silvestri I developed an interest in higher level laparoscopy through the years while honing these skills. I have had an interest in Bariatric Surgery since the use of minimally invasive techniques has been applied to this surgical procedure in the late 1990's. The use of laparoscopic surgery to the field of bariatric surgery has made an unbelievable difference in the lives of many people in attaining a healthier, happier lifestyle. I find this surgery to be one of the most satisfying to accomplish with its least debilitating and highly successful outcomes. I have been a practicing surgeon in the Bergen County area since 1994. I look forward to continuing to help patients in this endeavor.

NO INJURIES IN ENGLEWOOD FIRE ENGLEWOOD – No one was injured as the result of a fire that tore through a home on Highview Avenue, in the East Hill section on Monday, Nov. 8. Acting Fire Chief Gerald P. Marion said the two residents of the home were in bed when they noticed flames through a window. They called 911 at 10:29 p.m. and firefighters responded.

They fought the blaze until 10:55 p.m., when it was brought under control. The clean-up and investigation kept firefighters at the scene past 2 a.m., he said. The fire was termed accidental, the result of faulty wiring in the basement. It has been referred to the insurance company, he said. The homeowners were relocated with inlaws.

CLOSTER BREAKS GROUND FOR SPECIAL HOUSING CLOSTER – New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency (HMFA) Executive Director Anthony L. Marchetta Wednesday, Nov. 10, joined Mayor Sophie Heymann and other local officials to break ground on the Van Sciver Supportive Housing Residence at One Railroad Avenue. The HMFA, an affiliate of the Department of Community Affairs (DCA), provided $2.4 million in construction financing from the Special Needs Housing Trust Fund for the project, which will provide serviceenriched affordable housing for 16 mental health consumers. Additional funding is coming from the DCA’s State Rental Assistance Program. “Van Sciver Supportive Housing is a wonderful example of how federal, state, local and private enterprise can work together to build quality affordable supportive housing for those who need it most,” said DCA Commissioner Lori Grifa, who is Chair of the HMFA. “We remain committed to working with our partners in the community to create much needed housing in New Jersey for individuals with special needs.” Once completed, the facility will include 17 apartment units. Additionally, a community room, laundry rooms and parking will be available for use by the residents. The building will include sustainable design features such as bamboo flooring, Energy Star appliances, and electrical systems that maximize energy and water conservation.

“We commend the Borough of Closter for recognizing the need for affordable supportive housing. Future residents will now have the opportunity to live in an environment that fosters independence,” said HMFA Executive Director Anthony Marchetta. “The HMFA is happy to play a role in getting this project off the ground. It truly advances our goal of making affordable housing a reality for more and more residents of the State.” The project is being developed by Vantage Health Services, Inc., which was established in 2001 as a Community Housing Development Organization. The mission of Vantage is to promote and provide permanent community living arrangements for mental health consumers in Bergen, Hudson, Passaic and Morris Counties. In addition to developing the facility, Vantage will serve as the property manager upon completion. The Special Needs Housing Trust Fund is administered by the HMFA and provides capital financing to create permanent supportive housing and community residences for individuals with special needs, with priority given to individuals with mental illness. The purpose of the fund is to develop special needs housing and residential opportunities as alternatives to institutionalization or homelessness for those who would benefit from these programs and to ensure the long-term viability of such housing.

OPINION Old grudges Editor’s Take continue November 11, 2010

■ By Douglas E. Hall County Democrats took a drubbing in the general election on Tuesday, Nov. 2. Every possible Democrat that could be voted out of office on a county level was. It was apparent the ticket headed by Dennis McNerney, who was seeking a third four-year term as county executive, was in trouble when a powerful operative of his own party, Rocco Mazza, a key Democrat, who has worked closely with Senator Loretta L. Weinberg (DDist. 37) and Assemblywoman Valeria Vainieri Huttle (D-Dist. 37) wrote an open letter to “Friends,” and our sister paper, The Leader, which in part said: “In this election on Nov. 2 for Bergen County executive, I am voting for our friend, neighbor and outstanding public servant, Republican Kathleen A. Donovan. With 30 years of experience in the political arena, I have been casting my ballot exclusively for Democrats in the last 22 of those years. But sometimes party loyalty and partisan politics ask too much. This year it’s time to make a change in Bergen County.” The letter had a particular significance to me when Mr. Mazza, in a note preceding the letter mentioned his association with the “Real Democrats.” That brought back so many memories of the charges by Senator Weinberg of forgeries of resignations of certain party committee members just before a vote was taken in the

2007 Democrats’ county convention. The schism began after the death of state Senator Byron M. Baer. Democrat County boss Joseph Ferriero expected to hand-pick a slate to fill the Baer vacancy, but he ran into some opposition as the primary loomed. Not all of the party’s county committee members wanted to go along. Neither did then Assemblywoman Weinberg. Soon there were alleged forgeries of some letters of resignations of some Bergenfield committee members who claimed they had not resigned at all. They were to be replaced by new committee members who would vote as Ferriero dictated, it was alleged. Then, there was the organization of a Democratic slate in District 37 with the blessing of Democratic political boss Joseph Ferriero of Old Tappan to run against a slate of “Real Democrats” headed by then Assemblywoman Weinberg. For those of you who have forgotten some

of the details, the “Real Democrats” slate consisted of then Assemblywoman Weinberg (running for senator), then Freeholder Valerie Huttle and then County Undersheriff Gordon Johnson (both running for Assembly seats). They were to face the Ferriero slate of the then Englewood Mayor Michael Wildes for senator, Hackensack Police Chief and former Assemblyman Charles “Ken” Ziza and Bergen County Community College board member Cid D. Wilson. It took a race up from Trenton by then Governor Corzine to Hackensack Democratic headquarters to head off a bitter Primary fight. Corzine brokered a settlement leaving the Weinberg slate to run unopposed. Corzine nearly died in a car crash that day as he squeezed the Hackensack meeting with the opposing factions, into a day crowded with one too many meetings. Most voters may have forgotten about all of the machinations of the primary election of 2007, but the two factions that existed then have apparently not forgotten and are not ready to forgive and forget. Dennis McNerney’s loyalty to the disgraced Ferriero – he was convicted last year of conspiracy and mail fraud in connection with a scheme to defraud Bergenfield of the honest services of its then-borough attorney Dennis J. Oury, federal officials said – was Mr. McNerney’s undoing. The jury found Mr. Ferriero guilty of one count of conspiracy and two counts of mail fraud related to his scheme with Mr. Oury to create a grants consulting firm, Governmental Grants Consulting which they used to solicit a municipal contract with the borough while hiding Mr. Oury’s involvement and financial inter-

ests in the company. Mr. Mazza states it quite plainly in his letter: “I know Donovan’s opponent, incumbent Executive Dennis McNerney, very well. I know that he lacks the leadership to stand up against disgraced Bergen County Democratic political boss Joseph Ferriero. And I know that this has cost taxpayers dearly. “McNerney turned the keys to the county over to Ferriero where the controversial political chief successfully engineered the appointment of his top political adviser Dennis Oury to the position of counsel to the Bergen County Improvement Authority. Oury later pled guilty to federal corruption charges for defrauding the Borough of Bergenfield. Ferriero was his alleged partner in that plot to scam the taxpayers,” Mr. Mazza wrote. A recent U.S. Supreme Court decision on the law by which Mr. Ferriero was convicted may give him an opportunity to successfully appeal his conviction, but don’t look for party workers such as Mr. Mazza and party leaders such as Senator Weinberg to forgive and forget anytime soon. The world continues to turn. Democrats on the county level and national level have been punished in this latest election. Not all were guilty, but that’s politics. Senator Weinberg, Assembly members Huttle and Johnson have generally distinguished themselves since the inter-party battle of 2007. Michael Wildes has, at least for the time being, retired from political office. Chief Ziza has been, in recent months, indicted for official misconduct and insurance fraud. Mr. Wilson has not run for any office and continues as a member of the board of Bergen Community College.

tor around a 2012 presidential run, or will his politicizing elsewhere undo him organizationally in New Jersey over the long term? Then there’s Christie’s arch-nemesis, U.S. Sen. Bob Menedez (D-Hoboken), whose allies in Bergen County lost, dealing a blow to Menendez’s base. Jon Corzine’s loss last year, Union City Mayor Brian P. Stack’s decision against assuming chairmanship of the troubled

Hudson County Democratic Organization (HCDO), and Essex County Executive Joe DiVincenzo’s increasing alliance with Gov. Chris Christie all present challenges to the Democratic leader. But while the GOP routed Dems nationwide on Tuesday, Menendez as chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee staunched the bleeding by keeping the senate majority in Democratic Party hands.

We don’t know yet how it plays out for Christie and Menendez; all we know is this week’s winners and losers, which you will find below. WINNERS Bob Yudin After Tuesday night, the Bergen County

S URV IV I NG TH E S E V E NTI E S …S OR T OF

Have you ever paused to consider how the decade you came of age in (or at least spent the better part of your preteen/teenaged years in) affects your world view? Well, I have. Because I don’t have enough to worry about. Without suspicion I’ve been mentally examining the people who enter my world every day—family, friends, and strangers (strangers who randomly, and publicly, implode for no apparent reason) in an effort to determine if their behavioral choices reflect a cultural influence. My penny-psychological study has forced me to conclude that if you came of age in the 1930’s you’re a product of the Great Depression and have the “ketchup bottle” approach to life: you refuse to throw away that bottle of Heinz 57 until you’ve drenched the sedimentary dregs with enough tap water to shake at least three more clots out of it. If you came of age in the 1940’s you’re a product of World War II and have a “let’s party today for tomorrow we may die” approach to living: life is a swinging Sinatra song and you’ll Lindy your way into the grave. If you came of age in the 1950’s you’re a rock-n-roll boomer: you still have great style, all your own hair, religiously summer down the shore, and truly believe that every generation that has followed yours doesn’t know the first thing about being cool. If you came of age in the 1960’s you’re either still stoned out of your mind and/or extremely critical of the culture you sent into a tailspin. If, like me, you came of age in the 1970’s, congratulations—you’re a complete mess. I mean, we children of the ‘70’s had more than our fair share to deal with— an unpopular war, Nixon, Watergate, H.R.

PUFNSTUF, streakers, perms, Beatle’s break-up, disco, and, as if all that wasn’t bad enough, plaid and stripes together. And I’m sorry, but no matter how hard J.C. Penny tried to market it, there was just no way plaid could ever be “rad” or stripes make a fat person look thinner—striped muu-muus made my full-figured aunts look like walking parentheses. I mean, if Marcia Brady couldn’t rock the plaid, what chance did we mortals have? And then there were the S&H Green Stamps. I chased that dragon for years, looking everywhere for orphaned stamps-sidewalks, grocery store conveyor belts, the countertops of my friends’ kitchens. I hoarded those perforated square stamps in my Saver Book like an angry troll. I fantasized that I could save the 170 books of stamps required for the Silver Cloud Motor Boat, outboard motor not included! After months and months of saving what did I finally purchase? A play iron and ironing board set. If I had known that my future held endless piles of laundry I would have purchased the slim ladies cigarette case with the paisley cover and satin-lined interior. I iron every night, so trust me, smoking would have been the sexier choice. Put Hazel next to Polly Bergen and who do you think men would choose? This flotsam overtook my consciousness when someone asked me if I had any ideas for interesting fundraisers. That simple query sent my mind rushing back four decades to a time that seems steeped in meaning. Almost every social outing my family took in the early-to-mid ‘70’s involved a fundraiser. How many of you spent entirely too many warm-weathered weekend afternoons watching Donkey baseball games? I seem to remember my

years for looking at child pornography on the legislative office computer. Scott Rumana Ayear after the Passaic County GOP chairman swept Democrats in countywide races, Rumana put himself in an even better position to win when Passaic County Sherriff took a job at Port Authority - and took himself off the Democratic ticket as a lethal threat. But Rumana’s two freeholder candidates failed to eke out a win against the Democrats. Steve Sweeney The Senate President picked up a key win to enhance his caucus to 24 votes, but Gov. Chris Christie was never bashful about peeling Democrats out of there when he needs them. The pickup of state Sen. Linda Greenstein (D-Plainsboro) was more than offset by Sweeney being forced to digest a painful loss in his backyard of Gloucester County, where two Republican freeholder candidates won. The N.J. Tea Party movement Certainly, Highlands Mayor Anna Little’s followers can feel proud of their candidate’s never-say-die candidacy in the 6th District, but Sarah Palin and her band of fellow Mama Grizzlies appear to be regional non-factors in politics here. Former gubernatorial candidate Steve Lonegan was forced to go way out of his wheelhouse to summon enthusiasm for candidates in the Blue Ridge Mountains and elsewhere south of the Mason Dixon Line.

My favorite was the pitcher. Donkeys are fond of mounds, just not pitcher’s mounds, and the pitcher would invariably take several compromising falls to the ground. How no one ever got a hoof to the head boggles my mind. Let me add that they were riding donkeys after having imbibed more than a few cocktails. I must say, man-on-donkey baseball did put the “fun” in “fundraisers.” Clearly these kinds of shenanigans were the inspiration for PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). My generation didn’t endure a depression, we can’t dance, and we’re not cool. And although we never upended culture, we almost certainly drowned in the tsunami of its pop.

■ By Rep. Steven Rothman (D-Dist. 9)

As a member of the House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee, I agree with Defense Secretary Robert Gates’s position that the discriminatory policy known as “Don’tAsk, Don’t Tell”(DADT) must end during this Congress. I believe strongly that the U.S. Constitution, specifically the 14th Amendment, requires the government to apply our laws equally. That is why only negative conduct, not one’s sexual orientation, should be grounds for dismissal from the armed services. Additionally, in my opinion, our country’s national security has been hurt by the U.S. Armed Forces having sent home more than 13,500 qualified, patriotic service members since 1994 who were willing and fit to serve this country. In each instance, there was no conduct unbecoming a member of the armed service. Having paid many millions to train these individuals, and then having dismissed them in the absence of bad conduct, has also wasted many millions of precious taxpayer dollars. Finally, as the U.S. continues to face dangerous enemies from all corners of the globe, and given the strains on our already overburdened warfighters, it makes no sense to turn away from service qualified, able and willing volunteers for our nation’s military. I am proud to stand with Secretary Gates in calling for an end to “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” I look forward to working with my colleagues in Congress to repeal this law in the final weeks of the 111th session.

A LOOK AT FACTORS OF HOME EQUITY â– By Jacqui Atcheson, Prospect Mortgage

Homeowner equity for median homes in 154 metro areas varies considerably depending on location, according to a recent NAR report. An analysis of these median homes in 154 metro areas over a five-year period (2004 – 2009) reveals: 87 metro areas experienced price appreciation. In 13 metro areas, a median buyer

with a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage accumulated an average of more than $50,000 in equity. 67 metro areas experienced price depreciation. In 11 metro areas — all located in California, Nevada and Florida — a median buyer with a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was underwater more than $50,000. Over the last 10 years, the price and equity picture is much brighter. Median buyers in the top 29 metro areas could

have accumulated at least $100,000 or more in equity. Interestingly, four of the six California cities that have had the biggest equity losses over the last five years are among the biggest gainers over a 10-year horizon. Only 12 of 154 metro areas experienced price depreciation over this 10-year period, and only seven areas — concentrated in Ohio and Michigan — saw a decline substantial enough to leave a median buyer underwater. Over an even longer term, we see positive equity build-up in all areas.

November 11, 2010 For example, in 75 of the 154 areas, a buyer who bought at the median price 20 years ago would have over $100,000 in equity in their home. In an additional 67 areas, the buyer would have more than $50,000 in equity. Take a look at overall performance in your metro area by visiting NAR’s Metro-Area Housing Equity Reports page.

play period games. Thaddeus MacGregor, the tavern’s regular musician, will return to regale visitors with music of the time period on guitar, mandolin, flute and a limberjack named “Wee Jim,” a wooden percussion instrument and toy that provides the illusion of a miniature tap dancer. A $3 donation is suggested, with $1 for children. Reservations are not required. For information call 201-768-1360, ext. 108 or send an email to: Kearney@njpalisades.org

NEWS Press-Journal 13-S Community Corner FIRE SAFETY TIPS OFFERED IN ENGLEWOOD ■By Gerald Marion, Acting Englewood Fire Chief Like many people, I look forward every year to autumn and winter. The gorgeous warm colors of autumn and the warmth of being surrounded by family at holiday gatherings provide a wonderful counterpoint to the onset of gray days and long cold nights, as nature prepares for its re-birth in the spring. For those of us in the Emergency Services, this atmosphere makes those incidents involving loss of life or property, tragic at any time of the year, even more poignant. Englewood, a full-service community, enjoys a full-time career fire department and our citizens can be assured that, as they go about their daily lives during the fall and winter season, they will be protected, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, by a cadre of highly-trained, courageous and dedicated professionals. We work hard everyday to prevent those tragedies from happening, but we can’t do it alone, we need your help. To that end, here is a list of actions that you can do to avoid needless loss this holiday season, and beyond.

Outdoors: If you have a fire hydrant outside your home, keep it clear of anything that might hide it from our view, such as snow, leaf piles, and excessive vegetation. Don’t pile your leaves near your house’s foundation. Don’t park atop leaf piles. Have only a qualified electrician install wiring and use only outlets designed for outdoor use. Remind your guests to not park in fire lanes, block fire hydrants or other fire department connections – The quicker we get water on the fire the quicker the fire goes out. Indoors If stringing lights, ensure that your lighting is UL listed, and in good condition, with intact insulation. Use caution when stringing lights together that you don’t create an overload Avoid excessive extension cord use, and don’t overload wall outlets. Do not run extension cords under rugs/carpets or over hooks. Avoid making sharp bends. Never leave candles unattended, and never around combustible materials. If not required for religious purposes, take advantage of technology and use. Check your light strings for safety. If insulation is worn, the plug is broken, or the sockets are loose, throw them out.

Turn off lights before going to bed. Keep space heaters away from combustible materials, like blankets, or furniture. Remind children that they can get burned. If hanging Christmas Stockings by fireplace, keep them as far from the flame as possible, or even better, hang them somewhere else. Don’t leave house with stove on. If using an outdoor fryer, keep it at least 15’ from structure. Make a “kids-free� zone in the kitchen, away from any place where hot food is being prepared or carried. Make sure you know at least two ways out of your home, or whatever room you’re in and practice getting out, especially with your chil-

Department. Chief Wilson said he did not know when the investigation by the Fatal Accident Unit of the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office would be complete. Whether the officer was wearing a seatbelt is part of the probe, he said, and that there is no evidence that drugs or alcohol were involved.

dren. Do not block windows with furniture, and do not store presents or other items on the path you’d normally use. Make sure your Christmas tree, if not artificial, is fresh‌keep it watered constantly, and promptly remove it from home after the holidays. Always ensure your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are in good working order, do not disable them for any reason! There are many other tips to help you remain safe during this season. Feel free to visit your local station to discuss them with your Firefighters, or Fire Inspectors. The highly-decorated officer, who was vice president of the local, was married and a Ringwood resident. Police estimated that there were several thousand mourners – as well as hundreds of police officer - at OfficerAbraham’s funeral on Saturday, Oct. 30. His coffin was drawn by horses along Teaneck Road. “We’re absolutely distraught,â€? the chief said, “It’s a great loss to the department and the community.â€?

FALL IS FOR DINING

F OOD & R ECI P ES ■ By Alison Hein

H a ze l n u t Pr al i n e S w e e t P o t at o e s

Warning! If you are diabetic, dieting, or for any other reason trying to control your sugar intake, read no further. If, however, you are looking for new and wonderful ways to indulge during the holiday season, hazelnut praline sweet potatoes might just be for you. After all, what Thanksgiving spread is complete without sweet, gooey sweet potatoes of one kind or another?

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

Bright autumn color and nutty texture add a festive, harvest appeal to your meal. I use two shallow casserole dishes to place around the table – they look nice, are easier for guests to reach, and encourage smaller portions. ;-)

If you want to make this dish a little ahead of time, keep the nuts separate until ready to bake so they retain their crunch. You can skip the nuts altogether if you like, reducing the amount of sugar in the process. Or, better yet, just eat this instead of that piece of pie you

were planning on for dessert.

Ingredients: Praline Topping 1 cup hazelnuts ½ cup light brown sugar 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Sweet Potatoes 2 large sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds) 2 tablespoons butter 2 teaspoons maple syrup ¼ cup, plus 2 teaspoons light brown sugar ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon pepper ¼ teaspoon cinnamon ¼ teaspoon cloves ¼ teaspoon ginger ¼ teaspoon nutmeg 2 eggs, lightly beaten

Preparation: To make the praline topping, preheat oven to 350°. Spread hazelnuts evenly on baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, then rub with dry towel to remove some of the skins. Chop nuts and set aside. Heat skillet over medium to medium low heat. 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). Im-

mediately remove from heat, toss with toasted hazelnuts, and set to cool on waxed paper. Break into smaller pieces when cool. Peel and chop sweet potatoes and place in heavy saucepan. Add water to cover. Bring to boil, then simmer until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain sweet potatoes and add butter, maple syrup, ¼ cup brown sugar, salt, pepper, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and nutmeg. Puree mixture in blender or food processor until smooth. Add eggs and mix until smooth.

CAFE TIVOLI

Pour sweet potato mixture into lightly greased casserole dish. Sprinkle with brown sugar, then top with praline mixture. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes until firm and slightly puffed up. Serve hot. Makes 8 servings.

the chatter in your head and easily gather your thoughts, you could gain control of your life? Does life feel like it is running away; you just can’t keep up with it and you are sick of trying? If these or similar feelings run through your mind often, Meditation could change your life naturally. (It is funny how meditation and medication rhyme.) When people think of meditation they usually picture a guru on a hill sitting cross-legged for hours in peaceful remorse. Who could possibly have time for that, and why? Well meditation can be done on a hill, in your car (while you are parked), or on your favorite cushion or chair, and it is done by people like you and me. The key is doing it everyday and seriously committing to your practice. My first experience with meditation was in a Silva Mind Control like setting as a teenager and that helped me to settle my mind and

someone telling me what to think and teaching me how to do it on my own. Later I learned Transcendental Meditation and that really brought me to a place of center, awareness and a deep inner calm. Last year I became a certified yoga teacher and part of the certification was learning how to meditate and teach meditation simply, using breathing and mantra techniques. This is a wonderful method covering different types of meditation and is easily learned. I will be offering a meditation class this month in my office/yoga studio and would love to have you attend and learn the wonderful benefits of meditation. See for yourself how meditation can change your life. The “Learn how to Meditate “class will be offered Tuesday November 23 at 7:30.

CATS, KIDNEYS, AND THE IMPORTANCE OF A URINE SAMPLE. Twinkle is a ten-year-old feline patient of mine. Although she comes annually for her regular exam, I am not really her “cup of tea.” As I try to convince her to come out of her carrier, she does her best to convince me to leave her alone. She hisses and scratches and she gives the “I will kill you if you touch me” look. This is the one moment that I remind myself that cats and tigers belong to the same family.

So every time I have to collect blood and urine sample from Twinkle, I first have to sedate her lightly. This is a struggle for Twinkle and her owner as well as for me. Nevertheless, despite the difficulty and in an effort to check Twinkle thoroughly, we have been going through this annual ritual for

the last ten years.

This year we were happy to find that despite Twinkle’s seniority, her blood ■ By Dr. Ohad Barnea work was still relatively normal, with the exception of one small parameter, called urine specific gravity, which was very low. That specific result indicated an early phase of kidney disease called renal insufficiency -- a preliminary condition to chronic kidney failure.

Had it not been for her sedation in order to perform the exam, it would have been impossible to collect a urine sample from Twinkle. Indeed, Continued on page 19

‘ALMOST MAINE’ TO BE PRESENTED

This month I’m focusing on my first straight play after having three straight musicals: Almost Maine” presented by Radburn Players (RP) in Fair Lawn. Radburn Players have been bringing quality musicals, dramas, and comedies to Bergen County for over 80 years. They present their shows at the Radburn Grange located in Fair Lawn, making it easy for commuters to travel and see a show. They also make their prices affordable for their audience. RP originally started out in the

boardroom of Fair Lawn’s Plaza building on January 2, 1930 and the group continued to emerge from there. They have done shows such as “Man of La Mancha”, “Run For Your Wife”, “Cat on A Hot Tin Roof”, “Barefoot in the Park” and “South Pacific” to name a few of what they’ve done, over the past couple of years. “Almost Maine” is a new show that opened on Broadway in the winter of 2005/2006 and comprises a very small cast. It is only meant for four actors,

two male and two female actors, but can also cast up to as many as 19 actors, nine women and 10 men. It not only has been performed in the U.S., but has appeared in other countries such as: Korea, Australia, Canada, the United Arab Emirates and Germany. It explores the mysteries of the human heart while touching the audience with laughter, heartbreak and hope. It was written by John Cariani. Director Christine O’Donnell shares her thoughts on the show. “All the scenes are couples except for one,” she said. “The characters in the show are realistic. I think the audience will both laugh and be sad during the show. It creates a mix of happiness and drama”. The cast includes: Mike Sheehan (Jimmy, Chad, and Dave), Tara Cioletti (Marvalyn, Sandrine, and Hope), Mike Roney (East, Steve, Randy), Frank

November 11, 2010 Blaeur (Lendall, Phil, and Daniel) Amy Sellars (Jeanette, Glory, and Marci), Holly Cerelli (Gayle, Rhonda, and Waitress) and Shawn Kane (Pete). “I’m looking forward to opening night and seeing the reaction of the audience. The show is a lot of fun and the script leaves room for development” said Mike Sheehan, a 3 rd year member of the group. Tara Cioletti, making her Radburn Players debut said: “I enjoy playing every character. Each one is different.” “My favorite character is Steve because he doesn’t feel any pain,” said Mike Roney, board member and 10 year member. “I first saw the show at William Paterson and it’s a really fun show.” “I’m looking forward to playing Lendall,” said Frank Blaeuer, “because the scene with him is interesting.

It deals with love and relationships,” said Holly Cerelli. “There is always a scene everyone can relate to.” “As a two time member I think this group is interesting, but fun. My character

is socially inept and is also a thinker,” said Shawn Kane. “I look forward to pleasing the audience and getting them engaged,” he added. “Almost Maine” will run from November 12-20 at the Radburn Grange.

DANCING WITH STARS BENISE, COMEDY AT BERGENPAC

■ By Robyn Nadel ENGLEWOOD – Coming up attractions at the BergenPAC are as follows: Ron White: From Blue Collar Comedy Tour, 8 p.m., Friday, Nov. 12. Tickets: $99, $79, $59, $49 and $39. Mr. White is best known as the cigar smoking, Benise scotch drinking funnyman from the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. The Blue Collar Comedy CDs and DVDs have sold five million copies. His own first CD, “Drunk In Public,” (2003) has been in the Top 10 since 2004. His first onehour comedy special, “They Call Me Tater Salad” was Comedy Central’s highest rated Sunday show and the DVD sold 1.3 million copies. His second special, “You Can’t Fix Stupid,” was Comedy Central’s third largest audience ever. The CD was #1 for 9 weeks, and was nominated for a 2007 Grammy Award. Benise: “The Spanish Guitar,” 8 p.m., Sun-

day, Nov. 14. Tickets: $79, $59, $49, $39 and $29. Benise blends Spanish guitar, Mediterranean rhythms, and dance. A self-taught guitarist, Benise started playing at the age of eleven. He moved to Los Angeles in hopes of reaching rock stardom, but life took an interesting turn. Benise stumbled upon Spanish guitar listening to the reach and something just clicked. The PBS production of his concert Nights of Fire! helped propel him into the public eye. It featured circus performers, samba dancer, African and Ron White drummers, filled 2,000 seat venues. Some have described Nights of Fire! as a cross between Riverdance and Cirque du Soleil. Benise will take his audience on a passionate journey through the cobblestone streets of Old Havana, the romantic canals of Venice, a sacred Buddhist Temple in India and so much more! This would truly be a night to remember. For tickets the box office at 201-227-1030.

PAWS for THOUGHT Continued from page 16

very often, cats that are difficult to handle, are handled with towels and protective gloves in order to avoid injuries. In so doing, those cats will get their quick exam, perhaps some vaccines, and will then be sent home without any blood work or urine samples. This is due, of course, to the difficulty or reluctance of the owners to sedate their pets. In fact, unlike dogs that can be walked outside in order to collect a urine sample, cat-owners are asked to collect it at home. I usually do not get urine samples back precisely because of the difficulty of collecting them.

Alternatively, urine may be taken directly from the bladder by a technique called Cystocentesis – gently inserting a needle to the bladder in order to collect a urine sample. This is done at the veterinarian’s office. Here is why this is so important: with renal insufficiency, the kidney values in a blood test (called bun and creatinine) are still normal, making us believe that all is well. It takes the destruction of 75% of the kidneys to show elevation of these values in a blood test -- a stage that happens later on in the course of the disease. Early diagnosis is, therefore, very tricky. Only with a urine sample, one can un-

The

NEWS Press-Journal 19 cover this problem early on. When I notified Twinkle’s owner of the issue, he confirmed that she had been drinking a lot of water in the previous several weeks -- a cardinal sign of disease with cats, as they normally do not drink a lot of water. By catching this condition early, I was able to prepare the owner for her future condition and take steps to slow down the disease. Had I not sedated her and collected all the samples, her condition would have been discovered in a much more advanced stage, a few months away. Further tests, such as a urine culture, blood pressure measurements, and ultrasound can help treat the condition. Any underlying infection or problem can be addressed with medication, diet change, and eventu-

ally administration of fluids under the skin every few days. I always tell my clients that if I could only run one test on a cat, it would be a urine analysis. Yet, because it is not easy for the owner or the vet to collect such sample, the cat’s urine often goes unchecked. My suggestion: put the effort to obtain a urine sample from your cat; it may save your feline friend’s life.

CRESSKILL HS GRIDDERS ARE SEEDED THIRD FOR STATE PLAYOFFS ■ By W. L. Bill Allen, Jr. Director, NJ Sport/Action

CRESSKILL— Sporting a sparkling 8-1 overall record, the gridiron contingent from Cresskill High School has garnered the third seed in the NJSIAA North Jersey Section 1, Group 1 state playoffs bracket and will play host to

sixth-slotted Saddle Brook in a first round state tournament tussle at 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 13, at CHS.

The locals will come into that tussle following their first setback of the season. In a matchup of two NJIC divisional champions, Meadowlands

UNBEATEN OLD TAPPAN GARNERS SECOND SEED

■ By W. L. Bill Allen, Jr. Director, NJ Sport/Action

OLD TAPPAN— Having already reaped an NJIC/Big North League divisional title, the unbeaten, 8-0 gridiron gang from Northern Valley Regional’s Old Tappan High School has been seeded second the eight team NJSIAA North Jersey Section 1, Group 3 state playoffs bracket.

That slot gives the Golden Knights a first round game against seventh-spotted Mount Olive, with that tussle slated for a 7 p.m. kickoff tomorrow, Friday, Nov. 12, at NV/OT.

In the three other North 1, Group 3 first round fracases, No. 8 Wayne Valley will travel just a couple of miles to battle the top seed, Wayne Hills, on Friday night, sixth-slotted Paramus will hit the road to go face the third seed, Ramapo Regional in Franklin Lakes, also tomorrow night, and No. 5 Pascack Valley will go all the way to the northwest corner of the state to face No. 4 High Point Regional at 1 p.m. Saturday.

The winner of the tilt between the Golden gridders and MO will go up against either Paramus or Ramapo in the semifinals, while the section’s crown clash will be held at the new

Question:

Meadowlands Stadium a fortnight after the semi’s.

NV/OT reaped the second seed as a result of a 25-20 rattling of Ramapo on Friday, Nov. 5, in Old Tappan, where Golden Knights junior quarterback Deven Fuller ran the rock for a trio of touchdowns and completed a scoring strike for the Knights’ fourth six-pointer of the evening. The Big North-Division 4 teams are NV/OT, Ramapo Regional, Passaic Valley, Wayne Valley and West Milford. The list of other top performers from the Knights contingent so far this season includes Drew Martinez, a 6’3’‘, 200 pound senior wide receiver and outside linebacker, Dale Veselsky, a 6’2’‘, 200 pound senior tight end, Jeff Tinelli, a 5’8’‘, 170 pound senior halfback and cornerback and Derek Weissman, a 5’10’‘, 245-pound senior tackle and defensive end.

The only two teams from the PressJournal coverage area which have earned spots in the state playoffs are NV/OT and Cresskill. In consolation clashes, it will be Passaic Valley at Teaneck, Demarest at Roxbury and Tenafly at Montville on Friday night and, on Saturday, Dwight Morrow at Newton.
