TRAIN TO THE FUTURE

IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE, THE STUYVESANT

Rendering courtesy of Amelia Jarvis/Mayor Robert Giangeruso

This drawing is what the Stuyvesant Avenue, Lyndhurst, NJ Transit station will look like once renovations are complete. Work may kick off before the year’s end.

Avenue NJ Transit Train Station in Lyndhurst is going to look a lot different — and nicer — thanks to the hard work of Mayor Robert Giangeruso, the Township Commission and NJ Transit.

The Mayor and Commission recently authorized NJ Transit to move ahead with a $22 million capital improvement to the station.

“The new station will replace the current antiquated Lyndhurst Train Station on Stuyvesant and Court avenues,” Giangeruso said. “The new station will not only help to improve ridership, but will also provide handicapped access to passengers — something the township has been lacking.

“We are extremely excited to be on the receiving end of this incredible $22 million infrastructure improvement from NJ Transit. This will increase property values while not costing the taxpayers of Lyndhurst one cent.”

According to the mayor, the new station, which

TONY FACCHINO ALMOST LOST

By Kevin Canessa kc@theobserver.com

TONY FACCHINO WAS

this close to not having a musical career.

When he was young, around fourth- or fifth-grade,

his older sister, Cathy, got lessons on the keyboard. For whatever the reason, only Cathy got the lessons. The younger Tony, then living in Belleville, could only sit by and observe while she got the actual tutelage from a

professional musician.

But the funny thing is — Facchino says his sister didn’t really care for the lessons. She never took to playing an instrument. So eventually, Cathy’s lessons stopped. But it wasn’t an

automatic that Tony would then get lessons in her stead.

In fact, it would be a while before that happened.

Yet all the while, as Facchino listened intently, he was teaching himself the music. And though he did get three months’ worth of lessons after Cathy’s stopped, the reality is that his musical talents — whether it’s his ability to sing, or to play the guitar, keyboard and a host of other instruments — are all self-taught.

“Then for my birthday, just before high school,

It was at that time that he and a few friends formed what he described as a “garage band.” He and his friends would play at a friend’s house as much as they could. Then, as a student at the former Essex Catholic High School, Facchino started to sing more.

hosted a Battle of the Bands.

In 1971, his senior year, Facchino and his band entered — he won best vocalist and his bandmate, best keyboardist.

“I never expected this to happen,” he admits. “But it did, and all these years later, I still have the trophy to show for it.”

Eventually, as he and his pals got older, the band broke up. Everyone was starting a family. Then about four years ago, an old college friend called him and asked if he might want to play guitar in a band called “Park Ave.” Ultimately, he would try out for a vocalist position — and he got it.

“About 3½ years ago, my friend, Joe, who got me involved, left the band, and I remained,” Facchino says.

“It required a lot of hard work. But I am dedicated to Park Ave. — and love being part of the band.”

Though he still plays with the band, Facchino says he needed to supplement his finances — so he decided to branch out to give a solo act a try. This doesn’t mean he’s leaving Park Ave. — in fact, he wants it to be clear he’s not leaving the band. Instead, he’s just trying something new.

And on March 9, he’ll be playing a solo gig at Bar 503, at 503 Valley Brook Ave., Lyndhurst, with a 9 p.m. showtime.

So what might you expect that night from Facchino?

“One might hear me sing doo wop, the Four Seasons, the Temptations, Jackie Wilson, and then maybe even something from Bruno Mars,” he says. “They might also hear me do some Frank Sinatra or Michael Buble.

There’s not much of a space for dancing at Bar 503 — and we’re expecting a big crowd that night. So I think it’s important that the music be

an easy listen — it will be diverse.”

Facchino says he expects to play about three, 40-minute sets with a 20-minute break in the 9, 10 and 11 o’clock hours that night, with things winding up at around midnight. So if you can’t

make it right at 9 p.m., worry not — there will be plenty of time to show up later in the night to catch him.

And when you do, don’t forget — all you’re hearing will have been self-taught.

Evans named first Black woman president of Bloomfield College

By Kevin Canessa kc@theobserver.com

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ITS

history, Bloomfield College will have a Black woman at the helm.

The college announced last week that Dr. Marcheta P. Evans will become the 17th president in its history beginning June 1, 2019. She succeeds Richard A. Levao, who has been president of the college for the last 16 years.

Evans is both the first woman and first AfricanAmerican to lead the college in its 150-year history. She was unanimously selected by the college’s board of trustees.

Evans has served in transformational leadership roles in higher education for 25 years at both public and private institutions, with 20 of those years at Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) in the seventh largest city in the U.S., San Antonio, Texas.

Bloomfield College

holds the designations of a Predominately Black Institution (PBI) and a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI).

“I am so humbled and honored to be selected as the 17th President of Bloomfield College. This is truly the fulfillment of a dream that was inspired by my grandparents as they raised me as a child during the civil rights movement of the 1960s,” Evans said. “My heart is overflowing with this blessing and privilege. You will not find anyone more dedicated to the mission, vision and goals of Bloomfield College as we move this great college forward with our commitment for diverse students to have access to an affordable education.

“We will become a national leader and role model for inclusive excellence.”

Currently the provost and vice president for academic affairs at Our Lady of the Lake University, San Antonio,

Texas, Evans sequentially served as vice president for academic affairs, dean at OLLU and associate dean and department chair at University of Texas at San Antonio.

She has served as a faculty member for over 23 years and has the rank of full professor.

Evans is a past president and fellow of the American Counseling Association, past president of the Association for Creativity in Counseling and is the recipient of numerous awards and recognitions.

A small sampling of these include the Outstanding Multicultural Leadership Award, Yellow Rose of Texas Lifetime Educator Award and Counselors for Social Justice Ohana Award.

Evans has authored numerous articles and book chapters, focusing on issues of diversity, multiculturalism, women’s issues and leadership.

T:10” She has presented over 100 times at the state, regional, national and international

levels addressing topics such as empowerment, multiculturalism, diversity and leadership.

In her international work, Evans has traveled extensively, including a length of time in the African country of Malawi, where she worked with educators and counselors on literacy initiatives sponsored

by USAID. Evans graduated from the University of Alabama with a doctorate in counselor education and supervision, specializing in student affairs, administration in higher education and human-resource management. Additionally, she has a master’s degree in elementary education from the University of AlabamaBirmingham, a master’s degree in rehabilitation counseling and a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Alabama.

Some of her career highlights include optimization of class sizes, which resulted in over

$300,000 in revenue- and costsaving strategies; development of academic centers to enhance student success, which saw freshman retention rates rise from 56.2% to 68.2%; and modified the advising model through collaborative advising, cohort scheduling, student success initiatives and strength-based peer mentor/ teaching that resulted in a 23% increase in first-year students who earned a 3.0 GPA or higher.

Levao, meanwhile, says he’s excited for Bloomfield College’s next chapter with Evans at the helm.

“The Bloomfield College community is extremely pleased to have Dr. Evans assume the leadership of this wonderful institution in its 150th year,” Levao said. “Her experience, dedication to our college’s mission as well as her personal warmth, energy and compassion bodes well for the future of this college that so many of us love so well.”

NEWS KPD: Due diligence pays off Submit local stories to:

editorial@ theobserver.com

By Karen Zautyk kzautyk@theobserver.com

IF YOU MISTAKENLY LEFT your wallet at a store checkout counter, would you ever expect to see it again?

For one Walmart shopper, a miracle happened, thanks to the tireless work of a Kearny police detective.

Back on the night of Sept. 14, KPD Officers Harold Azurdia and Kevin Carvalho responded to the store to take a theft report from a 39-year-old woman who had made the aforementioned mistake. She had returned to the counter, but the wallet — containing credit cards, $500 cash and identification — was already gone.

KPD Det. Kevin Arnesman took up the investigation — retrieving video surveillance footage and issuing subpoenas for banking records — work that eventually identified the suspect.

On Feb. 26, after five months of diligence (“If only subpoenaing records was as easy as on TV,” commented a department source), Fanny VeraPunin, 42, of Newark, was arrested and charged at KPD headquarters with theft of property lost, mislaid or delivered by mistake. *** Other recent reports from the Kearny police blotter included the following: FEB. 20 At 7:18 p.m., Officer Nicole Williams stopped a Chevy Equinox on Passaic Avenue for having a light out. Police said driver Marcio Fernandes Jr., 27, of Springfield, could not produce proof of insurance and the officer smelled the odor of raw marijuana, a small bag of which was found in the vehicle. Fernandes was charged on summonses with possession of pot and paraphernalia, CDS in a MV, inadequate license plate illumination and failure to

possess an insurance card.

FEB. 22 At 12:15 p.m., Officers John Donovan and Pedro Pina responded to ShopRite, where the store manager reported having caught Keenan Walker, 26, of Newark, conceal $45.87 of cooked snow crabs inside a bag and pass the registers without paying. Walker allegedly was also carrying Alprazolam pills in a bottle prescribed to another person and a Ziploc bag containing two oxycodone pills.

He was charged on a warrant with shoplifting, unlawful possession of prescription legend drugs and drug paraphernalia.

Police said he also had a $200 Newark warrant for a local violation.

FEB. 23 Officers Ruben Rivera and Chris Manolis, patrolling on the 300 block of Schuyler Avenue at 2:19 p.m., were flagged down by an employee of a used-car dealership/ service center. The worker told the officers that a man had entered the main office asking about his vehicle — which was not being serviced there.

When asked to leave, he allegedly pulled out a folding knife while walking toward a female employee, who then locked herself in an inner office to escape the man.

Police said the officers searched for the suspect and found him kneeling outside with his arms behind his back. [Note: Not a usual situation.] They reportedly recovered a knife and arrested Benjamin Amador, 22, of Newark, on a warrant charging aggravated assault, weapons offenses and terroristic threats.

No one was injured in the incident. *** At 11:07 pm, Officers Chris Montes, Matthew

Wasting resources at Walmart IF YOU’RE A REGULAR READER OF THE KEARNY Police Blotter in this newspaper — and we know many of you are — you could almost guarantee one thing will be in it each and every week — an entry or three about shoplifting incidents at the Walmart.

Week after week, there are criminals out there who, for whatever the reason, truly believe they’re going to get away with … stuffing their pants with shrimp, scanning one out of every six items on the self-checkout lane, walking right out of the store without having seen a cashier … and so on and on and on.

Week after week, there are criminals out there who, for whatever the reason, truly believe they’ll be the ones who outsmart the loss-prevention agents whose only responsibility is to ensure everyone pays for their merchandise.

Week after week, these criminals, many of whom come from out of town, are most guilty of “stealing” vital police resources,

EDITORIAL in the form of patrol officers who are forced to go to Walmart, transport the accused to headquarters, fingerprint the fools and fill out reports, all while they could be on the streets where they should be, fighting much larger and more serious crimes.

As this problem grows, it’s becoming more and more obvious that this store is not doing enough to self-police. Whether it’s in the form of visible security (if they’re there, it’s hard to see them) or in any number of potential deterrents, this business that no question has been a great tax ratable for Kearny for a decade-plus has become much more of a drain than it has anything else.

It was just recently that the Kearny Police Department approached proper staffing numbers as prescribed by the Table

of Organization — but that table does not take into account all the resources that continue to be used for Walmart.

Here’s the bottom line — Walmart has got to do better than this. The men and women of the Kearny PD are all expertly trained to fight crime. But when they have to constantly waste hours upon hours of each shift heading to the Newark-Jersey City Turnpike because some numskull decides he wants surf and turf for dinner that night — but doesn’t want to pay for it — it couldn’t be more clear something has to be done to fix this.

And it should not be the responsibility of the KPD, Chief George King and its members. Instead, Walmart, it’s time to wake up, smell the rotten eggs (across the street at the Keegan) and do something about it.

Enough is enough already. Let the KPD do what they’re supposed to be doing.

Stop wasting valuable resources that should be pointed elsewhere.

NEWS Rosko helps lease nearly all units at The Ridge Submit local stories to:

editorial@ theobserver.com

IF THERE WAS EVER ANY DOUBT as to who the best real-estate rental agent is in the NJMLS market area, it was answered definitively in 2018.

George Rosko, of Better Homes & Gardens Coccia Realty’s Lyndhurst office, topped the New Jersey Multiple Listing Service’s 2018 leasing rankings having closed 97 deals with a total volume of $151,780. But his greatest success last year, without question, came in closing 26 leases at The Ridge, North Arlington’s newest luxury apartments, along with fellow agent Linda Santuccio.

What makes this statistic even more extraordinary — The Ridge had a total of 30 available apartments, so only four units were leased by a cooperating broker not

named George Rosko or Linda Santuccio.

Here’s a little background on The Ridge.

Back in 2014, Rosko and Baney Montoya, also an agent, listed the old Ridge Lumber property for sale. For years, the property, abandoned, had been an eyesore.

Initially, there were approvals for 12, two-bedroom units on that site with ground-level commercial units. But that didn’t make fiscal sense, according to Rosko.

So, ultimately, in June 2016, Woodcrest Property Partners purchased the site after gaining approval for 30, one-bedroom apartments. At that point, BHGRE Coccia Realty procured the buyer — and would be responsible for leasing the 30 apartments.

That’s right — in well under our success in securing leases a year, the entire building for all 30 units. I am very was to be occupied.

Broker/Owner INCENTIVIZED TO SELL

To sweeten the deal for a buyer, a seller might consider an “interestrate buy down.” This offer to “pay points” involves the seller’s willingness to buy a certain number of percentage points of the sales price to be paid to the buyer’s lender as discount points that bring the buyer’s interest rate down. As a result, a prospective buyer doesn’t feel pressured to correctly time the best day to lock in an interest rate. Buyers will also feel the satisfaction of having beaten the market rate if they purchase the home of the seller who provided the incentive of an interest-rate buy

down. A seller can also offer credit for a “close by” date as an incentive to a buyer.

Paying a buyer’s points can also cost sellers less than reducing the price of their home. You don’t need to know everything about buying and selling real estate if you hire a real estate professional who does.

“The replacement … is much needed and the Township of Lyndhurst applauds the replacement and looks forward to seeing the project move into construction in late 2019 or early 2020.

“The township is looking forward to working together with NJ Transit to bring to fruition a long-awaited project

that certainly would benefit all parties involved, especially Lyndhurst residents.”

Speaking of Lyndhurst residents, we spoke with a few commuters who regularly use the station and who say they’re elated the upgrades are coming.

“This isn’t the worst station in the world, but it isn’t the best one either,” resident Bill Murphy, a Manhattan stock broker, said. “I am very happy to hear it will include handicap-access. My sisterin-law uses a wheelchair and enjoys going into the City to museums. She’ll be able to better accomplish this now.”

Another local commuter, Jean Rothstein, echoed Murphy’s sentiments.

“It will be money well spent,” she said. “The project, from what I understand, won’t cost us any new local taxes. So we get the best of both worlds — a modernized train station and no tax hike. That is pretty ideal for all of us.” Though the work on the station is expected to commence within a year, it’s not immediately clear how long the work will take to complete.

had never won a hockey cup championship before recently.

However, that all changed when the Maroon Raiders defeated The Frisch School, 4-2, at South Mountain Codey Arena to capture the McMullen Cup title.

And scoring one for gender equity – the star of the game for the Maroon Raiders was a girl.

Senior center Melanie Conca scored two goals for the Maroon Raiders in the decisive championship game. Conca has already signed on to play women’s hockey at Connecticut College in the fall.

Conca had eight goals and 14 assists playing with and against the boys this season.

“She has the best vision of any of our players,” said Nutley head coach Andrew Surowiec. “She also has the best hockey knowledge.

She has good speed and has a good shot. She plays with no hesitation. She’s willing to go into the corners to get pucks. She is also not afraid to block shots. There isn’t a thing that she can’t do.”

The team’s leading scorer is junior center Joe Melillo, who had 19 goals and 14 assists.

“He absolutely has an unmatched work ethic,” Surowiec said. “He’s developing into a great offensive player. He was a defenseman for us, but we moved him up front because that’s what he wanted. And it’s turned out to be a good move. He played forward for his club team, so that gave him the idea to play up front for us. He has a good shot and never quits.”

Melillo plays on the same line with junior left wing Justin Devlin and freshman right wing Rocco Albanese, who had 18 goals and 11 assists.

Conca’s line includes senior left wing Eli Verdun and sophomore right wing Zach Fagin. Verdun had 18 goals and 12 assists while Fagin had 12 goals and 10 assists.

Needless to say, the Maroon Raiders had a lot of balanced scoring throughout.

Surowiec loved the contributions of senior captain Verdun.

“He’s a good vocal leader,” Surowiec said of Verdun. “He’s really able to motivate the rest of the team. He puts his body on the line all the time for the team.”

ed out that Dylan won two matches via pins and two by majority decisions and then defeated Alec Bobchin of Princeton, 8-1, to place third and earn his proper place on the podium.

“He wrestled the way a champion wrestles,” the elder Weaver said. “At the end of the day, it was a great performance. He’s still developing. As tough as he is and as aggressive as he is, he’s still learning.”

Dylan Weaver ended his sophomore year with a 29-2 record and a third place finish in the states. With two years remaining, the prospects look very promising for the remainder of his high school career.

And beyond. The elder Weaver pointed out that several college coaches and recruiters were impressed with the way Dylan wrestled back from a quarterfinal loss to a third place medal.

“I think I really opened

some eyes,” Dylan Weaver said. “I wrestled the best that I could. I think I showed I have a lot of potential going forward.”

Dylan Weaver will more than likely wrestle at 145 pounds next year. By the look of things, he’s already gearing up for a run at the state title next year, much like his buddy Jacob Cardenas captured the last two years.

“I’m so happy for him,” Dylan Weaver said of the two-time state champion and close friend. “He’s like a brother to me. He dominated people. He motivates me and seeing him win like he did. It made me think I can do it as well.”

There will be one added bonus next year. Dylan’s younger brother Damian, an up-and-coming wrestler of his own, will join the Lyndhurst/ North Arlington program as a freshman. Two Weavers are always better than one. In this case, there will be three.

S P O R T S & R E C R E AT I O N VIEW from 11 junior goaltender Johnny Matrona, who collected 17 saves in the championship game against Frisch.

“He’s the backbone of the team,” Surowiec said of Johnny Matrona. “He’s had a fantastic year for us. He’s kept us in some tight games.

He was getting peppered with shots pretty hard and stood on his head. His play was reminiscent of the team’s all year.”

Surowiec gave a ton of credit to his net minder.

“I think he had a tough year last year,” Surowiec said of Matrona. “He didn’t have a lot of support, so there was a lot of pressure on him to perform before the season started. I think he came into this year with a chip on his shoulder.

He knew he had to play a big part if we were going to do well this year.”

The Maroon Raiders rotated five players on the defensive corps.

Junior Leo Carrillo is a solid defenseman.

“He’s a real good skater,”

Surowiec said of Carrillo. “He moves the puck well and has a great shot. He also has great vision on the ice. He’s an offensive minded defenseman.”

Sophomore Cooper Fojas is another key defenseman.

“He grew a little in the offseason and got a lot stronger,” Surowiec said. “He’s a stay-athome defenseman who blocks a lot of shots.”

Senior Isabel Fontanals is another female member of the team and a key member of the Maroon Raiders’ defensive contingent.

“She’s a phenomenal skater,” Surowiec said. “I think she catches a lot of opponents by surprise because of her skills. She’s also a good vocal leader.”

Freshman Julian Poole has arrived and become a solid contributor to the defensive unit.

“You could tell that he knows the game,” Surowiec said. “He’s also matured as a player. He’s just a hard-working defenseman.”

While “platelet-rich plasma” (PRP) was once used to help elite athletes recover from injury, it is now being utilized to encourage healing and reduce inflammation in non-athletes. The treatment involves injecting a concentration of blood platelets that have been extracted and centrifuged from the patient’s own blood. Once the activated platelets are injected into the abnormal or injured tissue, they release growth factors that recruit and increase the proliferation of reparative cells. Studies have shown that PRP is effective in treating chronic tendon injuries, including those involving the knees, elbows, and hips. They have also revealed that PRP can be as effective as steroid injections, with virtually no side effects

(except discomfort at the injection site).

To develop a PRP preparation, blood must first be drawn from a patient. The platelets are separated from other blood cells, and their concentration is increased during a process called centrifugation.

The increased concentration of platelets is combined with the remaining blood. To schedule an appointment, please call PREMIER CARE ASSOCIATES OF WEST HUDSON at 201-9987474, or visit us 7 days a week at 512 Kearny Ave., Suite B. P.S. Platelets are blood cells that promote the blood clotting that prevents wounds from bleeding excessively and also contain proteins that help wounds to heal.

S P O R T S & R E C R E AT I O N CARDENAS from 01 best. I don’t pay attention to anything else.”

Considering that in the history of wrestling in the state of New Jersey, no one from Kearny had ever successfully defended a state championship to win a second state crown, it was no small task for Cardenas to totally block out all the outside pressures.

Sure enough, the seemingly impossible goal became a reality Saturday afternoon at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, when Cardenas defeated familiar rival Kyle Jacob of Paramus 6-3 to capture his second straight state championship in the 195-pound category.

With the victory, Cardenas created a little bit of history by becoming the first-ever Kearny native to ever win a second state championship.

Ironically, David Cordoba, the only other Kearny native to win a state championship, owns the Cordoba Trained

Region 2 tourney last week and Cardenas came away with a tough, hard-fought 1-0 victory.

“I knew that was going to happen again,” Cardenas said. “He’s very good. I was expecting that.”

Cardenas managed to hold control of the title match against Jacob throughout, although the match against Jacob was uncharacteristic of the other five matches he won in Atlantic City over the weekend. He won three via technical falls and two by major decision.

“When I do my thing, I just blow by people,” Cardenas said. “I’m able to rack up points. I think my quickness separates me from the rest.

I step up and take my shot.

I had some pretty good matches.”

The six victories pushed Cardenas’ seasonal mark to 41-2 and his career mark to 121-20.

Cardenas said that he was extremely motivated in facing Jacob for a final time.

“I learned from my mistakes that I made the first time (against Jacob),” Cardenas said. “I knew that this was my last high school match, so I was going to let it fly. I was just going to do what I always do, just keep scoring.”

And with that, Cardenas went out with a bang, earning a slice of history in

Well, Cordoba was wrong.

Cardenas didn’t win a state title. He won two.

“At first, I didn’t even realize that I passed him,” Cardenas said. “After I won, I gave him a big hug. He’s been a part of the journey from the very beginning.”

Cardenas said that he had a feeling he was going to face Jacob again in the state finals. The two met in the championship round of the

“Last year, when I won, it really didn’t hit me,” Cardenas said. “But this year, it hit me.

When I got back to my hotel room, I was jumping up and down with my friend. I was satisfied with my performance.

My mind was clear. I was happy with my last match.”

Cardenas will now head to the National High School Coaches Association Nationals at the Virgina Beach Convention Center in Virginia Beach March 29-31.

Cardenas will be shooting for his third straight national championship.

“I’ll take a week off, then go right back to the gym on Monday to get ready,” Cardenas said. “I’m going for three.”

After the nationals, Cardenas will head to Cornell University in the fall and will wrestle for the prestigious Big Red program in the fall.

“I like Cornell a lot,” Cardenas said. “I think when I made the decision to go there, it took a lot of pressure off me. The people at Cornell, the wrestlers, the coaches, are all

EYE

CARE

DeLuca Vision Consultants Presented by

Joseph A. DeLuca, M.D., F.A.C.S. FROM CLOUDY TO CLEAR VISION

An estimated 24.5 million people in the United States have cataracts, a progressive loss of transparency of the eye lens that causes vision to become blurred. Fortunately, this condition can be easily and effectively remedied with a 30-minute outpatient procedure that replaces the cloudy lens with an artificial one. The decision to undergo cataract surgery rests with the patient. Signs that often help people realize they could benefit from the procedure include difficulty seeing well at night (especially when facing oncoming headlights), the need to make computerscreen text larger, and a sense that colors are fading. When cataract-related vision loss adversely affects daily activities such as driving and reading, it’s

time to schedule an appointment with the ophthalmologist.

Occasionally, cataract surgery fails to improve vision because of underlying eye damage from other conditions, such as glaucoma or macular degeneration.

If possible, it may be beneficial to evaluate and treat other eye problems before making the decision to have cataract surgery.

When you need the best eye care in the area, look to us. We are trained and skilled in the latest treatments to ensure you receive the best care possible.

To schedule an appointment, please call 201-896-0096. We are located at 20 Park Avenue, Lyndhurst. We accept most insurance.

P.S. Cataract surgery is one of the most common surgeries in this country.

like family. The atmosphere is great. The school is little. But I can tell that everyone there really cares about me. The opportunities are endless for me there.”

Lyndhurst head coach Scot Weaver was especially proud of Cardenas.

“Jacob is like family to us,” said Weaver, whose son Dylan finished third in the 138-pound class at the state tournament.

“He’s one of Dylan’s best friends. They’re together all the time. We’ve been close to Jacob and his parents for a long time.”

In fact, Cardenas first attended Queen of Peace as a freshman to wrestle for Weaver, but the school closed, forcing Cardenas to transfer to Bergen Catholic Needless to say, Cardenas enjoyed his historic weekend at Boardwalk Hall.

“I’m pretty proud of myself,” Cardenas said. “It’s really a good feeling. I never dreamed that this could happen, that I could win two state championships. I’m really blessed. It’s an amazing feeling.”

VIEW from 13 members of the team who attend Columbia.

“I think it’s a great match between the two schools,” Surowiec said. “We get a lot of support from both schools.

It’s the second year of the coop and it has worked well.”

The Maroon Raiders posted a 13-6-3 record this season.

The season ended with a 5-4 loss to Montclair in the second round of the NJSIAA state tournament last week.

But there will always be the McMullen Cup to hang their hats on.

“I think it was a major accomplishment for the program,” Surowiec said.

“I didn’t realize the potential we had. We had hopes, but we didn’t know. There was a major improvement.

We wanted to compete this year and win more, but I’d be lying if I said that this team was going to be a Cup champion. We never had a Cup champion before in the history of the school, so this team is the first. We’re ecstatic.”

Surowiec said that there was one major reason for the improvement.

“I think all the kids bought into the team concept,” Surowiec said. “They realized that they needed to work hard for each other. That’s why we were successful.”

QPHS from 01 “We were aware of a campaign put together by the Queen of Peace High School stakeholders during the 2016-2017 school year in an attempt to raise funds to keep the school open; however, the closing was just as surprising to us as everyone else.”

But now, a year-anda-half later, the Board of Education has finalized plans to purchase the building from its owner, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Newark, for a price described as “well below market value.”

On Monday, Feb. 25, the Board of Education approved the purchase of Queen of Peace High School unanimously after a public presentation and hearing.

“We have successfully finalized the terms of a contract for sale in which the Archdiocese of Newark has agreed to sell the building, field and parking lot to the North Arlington Board of Education for $6.4 million, which is almost $2.3 million less than fair market value,” Yurchak said. “The purchase of the property and initial renovations are being funded fully by our capital projects account.”

The two-story building contains 30 general classrooms, a gym, has central air conditioning and a full-sized football field. The elementary school has been using the gym and football field while negotiations occurred, a process that took approximately 20 months. The reason for the delay was the archdiocese was exploring all options and the North Arlington Board of Education had to ensure this was the best

fit for its children while also making sure funds were used efficiently.

Yurchak also mentioned that operational costs, which includes heat, electric, water, insurance, phones, custodian supplies and a custodian would cost approximately $225,000 per year. He indicated there won’t be any bid proposals to renovate the building until all preliminary work has been finalized, along with the successful completion of the New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) application process.

“If it all goes well, we would begin accepting proposals in the fall. Our goal is to complete the initial renovations for the opening of the 2020-2021 school year,” he said.

Yurchak said the former QPHS will become the new North Arlington Middle School, which will also house fifth- to eighthgraders.

“By reassigning our fifth-grade students, their classes can be departmentalized to assist in the transition to the secondary grades (6-12), more space would become available at our existing elementary schools and neighborhood schools could be reestablished, which has been a longstanding issue for the parents and children of North Arlington,” he said.

“Although we would love to have everything in place next school year, it’s is not logistically possible, nor would we want to rush such an important project. However, we are excited to breathe new life into this school building that will bring immediate benefits to the children of North Arlington.”

OBITUARIES ANGELO F. COSTELLO

Angelo F. Costello, 82, of North Arlington, formerly of Pennsylvania and raised in Kearny, died Feb. 27, 2019, with his wife of 49 years Carol (Van Volkenburgh) by his side.

He was predeceased by his loving father, Mario; mother, Mary; brother, Martin and sister, Anne Louise. The loving father of six children, Angelo (Jill); Michael (Kimberly); Debbie; Daniel (Michelle), Mark and Martin, he was the beloved grandfather of 13 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Angelo was a proud veteran of the United States Army Reserve. A businessman his whole life, he owned the High Seas Restaurant, North Arlington, but his true passion was construction, and was prominent in Kearny area as well as Bergen and Passaic counties.

Angelo was also an avid hunter and fisherman and was a founding member of the Bergen County WaterFowlers.

Angelo was beloved by all who knew him. He was a kindhearted, gentle, loving person who always put his family first. He touched the hearts of many and inspired others to emulate him. He was a father of fathers, a leader of men who never asked anything of anyone, but who gave his all to everyone.

He will be missed by all.

Angelo’s life was celebrated at Armitage & Wiggins Funeral Home, Kearny . A funeral Mass was celebrated at Queen of Peace Church, North Arlington. Interment was in Holy Cross Cemetery, North Arlington.

In lieu of flowers, the family has requested you honor Angelo’s life with a donation to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, P.O. Box 1000, Dept.

142, Memphis, Tenn. 381480142 or at www.stjude.org.
