FOUND ROUND THE WORLD The Shirt

Nearly 60 years after he first bought it as a rookie, Poplaski’s KPD uniform top found in Scotland

In the history of the Kearny Police Department, there are surnames that are almost synonyms with the KPD. There’s a long list of families who dedicated their lives to protecting the town — Corbett, Dowie, Wilson, Bloomer, Gouveia, King, Plaugic, are some of the first that come to mind.

One other surname, Poplaski, also fits here.

Ed Poplaski joined the force in 1961 and retired as a detective in 1987.

Two years later, Richard Poplaski Sr. joined in August 1989 and retired as a lieutenant in 2019.

And Richard Poplaski Jr., Policeman of the Year for heroic

actions he took on one of his first days on the job, is the most recent to join the force, having been hired in July 2015.

And the Poplaskis have a generational story for the ages, one that started in Newark in 1962 and which ended back in Kearny via Scotland just last week.

Here’s the story and how it all developed, as told by Rich Jr., last week.

We first found out about it all after Kearny Council President Carol Jean Doyle saw it on Facebook.

It wasn’t too long ago when this epic tale started, maybe a few weeks ago. Like many, Rich Jr. has a presence on Facebook,

Hudson County’s smallest municipality continues to have a major political problem, the borough’s Superintendent of School Richard Corbett says, and as such, he’s leading a charge to switch from an appointed board of

education to an elected one.

At a recent special board meeting, upon Corbett’s recommendation, the trustees voted, 3-2, in favor of going ahead with the switch, which will now be put to a referendum. (However, it is not immediately clear whether there is enough time for the referendum to be on November’s ballot.)

Voting in favor of the proposed

switch were School Board President Brigite Goncalves and trustees Mark Balsam and Johanna Lopez.

Voting against the proposed switch were trustees Valeria Slattery and Carla Fernandez.

During the vote, none of the trustees spoke about the rationale behind their votes.

However, immediately before a resolution to move ahead with

the switch was proffered, Corbett issued a blistering condemnation about politics being played at the expense of the borough’s children and one and only school.

“I am dismayed to report to members of this board of education that outside political influences are attempting to dictate to this

and were it not for social media, perhaps none of this happens at all.

One day, checking his messages, Rich Jr. finds a peculiar note from a woman who claims she’s from the Old Country. (Parenthetically, there actually may be some who live here now who actually don’t know Kearny was once the Scotland of North America. In the 1800s, thousands of Scottish immigrants left their home and native land to find a better life in America and, in particular, in this small Town of Kearny, 9.33-square miles in area, but home to a booming manufacturing industry fueled by many originally from the north of the United Kingdom.)

To this day, it’s not uncommon to hear a Scottish accent. Heck, as recently as 1999, the town’s

mayor, Peter J. McIntyre, had such an accent. But we digress.

When Rich Jr. gets this message, he says he is, at first, skeptical. After all, there are scammers across the globe, they prey for their daily bread regularly and they quite often use Facebook. So forgive Rich for being skeptical at first.

“As if 2020 hasn’t been weird enough, this

happens,” he says. “But I looked her up and she didn’t appear to be sketchy.”

So he reads the letter — and the woman asks if he was related to an Ed Poplaski.

She didn’t know it because he didn’t volunteer it immediately, but Ed Poplaski is his grandfather, 81 today, and a member of the Kearny Police Department’s Academy

Class of 1961. In fact, Ed is the second-eldest retired Kearny policeman still alive. Phil Reid, he says, takes the honors as the longest-surviving retiree.

So things are beginning to match — but again, who the heck is this lady — and why does she want to know of Rich’s relations to Ed?

Here’s where the story gets great.

The woman says, in her

electronic message, that she spent about £4 — $6 U.S. Dollars — at a thrift shoppe in Scotland. Her purchase was of what is called a “dress blouse” that, to this day, though a bit different in color, is worn by police officers at special occasions. The patches on the sleeves — clearly Kearny Police Department. You can’t mistake it — it looks almost completely the same as it did 58 years ago.

Inside the blouse is a nametag, from Lee’s Clothiers, Newark.

Typed on it: Ed Poplaski … 1/1962.

This piece of clothing, worth more in a sentimental value than the £4 this woman paid for it, was, indeed, Ed Poplaski’s dress blouse from around his very first year on the job. And she found its owner’s grandson.

So here’s what happened next.

The woman says she’d

board the appointment of personnel, which is in the sole discretion of the board,” Corbett said. “The board of education is an independent body … and is the only entity permitted to make personnel appointments in the district, with most of these appointments subject to the recommendation of the superintendent of schools.”

(While Corbett did not name specifics, several sources, who asked not to be identified, tell The Observer this all stems from Mayor Dina M. Grilo’s attempt to replace one board employee with one of her own political allies.)

Corbett continued: “The board must maintain its statutory independence from outside influences.

“As such, I am advising this board that I will be submitting a complaint and supporting documents to the NJ Department of Education’s Office of Fiscal Accountability and Compliance, seeking an investigation into the inappropriate actions targeting this board and its operations.

“The Office of Fiscal Accountability and compliance is, in fact, the investigative arm of the Department of Education and can make legal determinations of all inappropriate influences to this board.

“To ensure future independence from outside political influences, I am recommending that our board of education transition from a Type 1 (appointed bard)

to a Type II district (elected board). This will allow board members to be elected to their position rather than being appointed by the mayor.

“There are additional benefits — these include encouraging community and parental involvement, ensuring that board governance and the democratic process, increasing the number of board members to benefit the community … ensuring an independent board, one free from outside political influences.”

Corbett says he’d been looking to make this change for years, but could not, until now, muster enough votes to move ahead with the change. He says he has the support of a good number of school employees and faculty.

“The teachers were very enthusiastic. In fact many applauded the effort. They understand the children benefit when the board is independent,” Corbett said of recent discussions he had with staff at a meeting before the start of the 2020-21 academic year.

THAT PESKY RECREATION CENTER

Grilo, meanwhile, whom this newspaper could not reach for comment, penned a letter to another Hudson County publication. In her letter, she addressed another issue — the school board’s use of the borough recreation center for pre-K, which has also caused consternation between the board and the mayor and council.

Corbett says he was told, late in the

like to send the uniform piece to New Jersey.

“I asked her how much she wanted for it, but she didn’t want anything,” Rich says. “All she asked for was a photo of the blouse with my grandpa holding it or wearing it.”

Unfortunately for Ed, it was just a little too small for him to wear it today. He was a bit lighter in 1962 — but not all that much, really.

So a few days ago, the blouse arrived at Kearny Police Headquarters on Laurel Avenue — and almost 60 years later, it was back in the same location it got its start. After a trip of about 3,000 miles.

Speaking of that trip, we were wondering how it

got to Europe.

“The uniform dress blouses weren’t cheap, so it was common for them to be passed down for new officers,” Rich says. “They were hung in the locker room for the taking.”

Rich says Ed wasn’t sure how he lost contact with his blouse, but it was likely because of the aforementioned scenario of handing them down to help new officers save the expense of having to buy one brand new.

Still, it was a great overall experience for the three generations of Poplaskis who have served the KPD.

“It was very odd at first but it had a great ending,” Rich says.

A great ending, indeed.

KPD: Salerno sent to County Jail on assault warrant

By Capt. Tim Wagner Kearny Police Department

On Aug. 31 at 12:46 p.m.,

Det. Mike Andrews noticed

Christopher Salerno, 44, of Jersey City, standing at the Belleville Turnpike and Schuyler Avenue. Being familiar with Salerno, the detective knew that there was a Kearny warrant out for his arrest for an assault charge. The warrant carried a $600 bail.

Det. Andrews placed Salerno under arrest. In the process, he found four wax folds of heroin stamped “Wutang” in the change pocket of Salerno’s jeans. Salerno was charged with possession of heroin and drug paraphernalia and was remanded to the Hudson County Jail, South Kearny.

On Aug. 28 at 10:04 p.m., Officer Jean-Paul Duran responded to a citizen’s call that a man had knocked on the door

of his Argyle Place home and asked for money to get himself home. At the scene, Officer Duran spoke with several other neighbors who had come outside saying the man had also knocked on their doors.

A few minutes later, Det. Neil Nelson located that door knocker at Belgrove Drive and Locust Avenue. Officer Duran offered the man, Alexander M. Hassan, 19, a ride to his home in Newark, which Hassan accepted. However, as Hassan was moving to the police car, Officer Duran noticed a cylindrical bulge near the ankle of his tapered sweatpants.

Officer Duran frisked Hassan and found a hard, clear container near his ankle which contained 13 wax folds of heroin stamped “Joker Wild.” Hasan was then arrested and charged via summons with possession of heroin

and drug paraphernalia. He was also charged with the town ordinance violation of begging for alms.

On Aug. 31 at 2 p.m., Det. Jordenson Jean was near the intersection of Kearny and Bergen avenues when his attention was drawn to a 15-year-old Kearny boy, who has already made himself well acquainted with the police department. The department also received recent complaints that the boy had been selling drugs on Kearny Avenue.

The boy was on a cellular phone and appeared to be looking around trying to find someone. Det. Jean took up a surveillance position and he watched as the 15-year-old was soon joined by a 14-year-old Kearny boy. The two moved into the gated alley next to a business and engaged in a hand-to-hand drug transaction.

Det. Jean moved in along with Sgt. Jay Ward and Officer John Fearon and they took the boys into custody, recovering marijuana and weapons.

The 15-year-old boy was charged on juveniledelinquency complaints with defiant trespass, possession of marijuana, intent to distribute marijuana, intent to distribute marijuana within 1,000 feet of a school, possession of drug paraphernalia and unlawful possession of a weapon (brass knuckles).

The 14-year-old alleged drug buyer was charged with defiant trespass, possession of marijuana and unlawful possession of a weapon (knife).

Both boys were ordered by a court juvenile intake officer to be held in a county juvenile detention facility.

Also on Aug. 31, detectives arrested Marc T. Zarnowski, 29, and his mother, Tracy A. Ring, 51, at their Woodland Avenue home. The arrests were connected to a July 18 home invasion-style robbery at a Pine Street home.

According to court complaints, during the course of that investigation, Det. John Fabula discovered evidence that Zarnowski instructed Ring to delete a text message conversation between Zarnowski and codefendant Mathias Torres, remotely delete the entire contents of Zarnowski’s cellular phone which contained evidence, get a message to Torres to “get gone and stay gone” and to double-bag a box containing bullets and/or shell casings and get rid of it.

Det. Fabula also alleged in criminal complaints that Ring agreed to remotely delete the contents of a cellular phone that was being held in police evidence and warned codefendant Mathias Torres to “get rid of guns used in the robbery and to hide because the police [were] looking for him.”

Zarnowski was charged on a warrant with four

It’s spooky, exciting,

involves spies, murder, love and other trademarks of Alfred Hitchcock. And it’s all in the style of a 1940s radio broadcast of the master of suspense’s earlier films. With “The Lodger,” “Sabotage” and “The 39 Steps,” “Vintage Hitchcock: A Live Radio Play,” is a triple feature — complete with vintage commercials — that recreates a daring train chase, a serial killer’s ominous presence and a devastating explosion through the magic of live sound effects and musical underscoring. This show is set in a 1940s-style

radio station.

The show date is Oct. 24, at Arlington Depot Park at dusk. Social distancing rules will apply. Bring your own chairs (spaces will be provided.) A short children’s Halloween performance will be presented in the afternoon.

Bergen County launches round-the-clock addiction helpline

Bergen County has launched a 24/7 helpline where residents may connect to addiction and recovery support resources, Prosecutor Mark Musella announced recently.

Individuals are encouraged to call or text the hotline at (201) 589-2976 to speak with peer recovery specialists from the Center for Alcohol and Drug

Resources, a program of Children’s Aid and Family Services.

The hotline is available to anyone battling addiction as well as their loved ones and family members.

The Harrison Water Dept. will flush hydrants throughout Harrison beginning the week of September 14, 2020. Crews will work Monday through Friday between 9pm and 1am to minimize customer inconvenience. The flushing program is expected to last for about 6 weeks. Ending October 19, 2020.

Flushing removes harmless minerals that collect in the water mains. The project is part of the Town routine maintenance program to assure high water quality. Flushing hydrants help to maintain the integrity of the distribution system by keeping the water lines clean. It is also necessary for fire protection because flushing ensures that the hydrants are working properly.

During the flushing process, customers may experience low water pressure or discolored water. While the water is safe to drink, customers may prefer to wait until it runs clear before drinking or washing clothes or dishes.

Oct. 13 is the deadline to register to vote. Please do so if you haven’t yet

In the state of New Jersey, the law prescribes that in order to register to vote in a given election, one must complete such a registration 21 days prior to the election.

As such, to vote in the Presidential Election of 2020, if you’re not yet registered, you must do so by Oct. 13, 2020.

To register, you must:

• Be 17 at the time of registration — and turn 18 by Election Day.

• Be a citizen of the United States.

• Be a resident of the county in which you live for at least 30 days.

Lastly, the State says you may not register to vote if: “You are serving a sentence of incarceration as a result of a conviction of an indictable offense under the laws of this or another state or of the United States.”

We bring you this information because it is imperative that all residents who will be 18 or older on Election Day be registered to vote. Do so online or in person at your county clerk’s office.

And while it has been a 133-year + tradition of this newspaper not to endorse any candidates, we do, every four years, endorse the notion that everyone should be registered and everyone, on Tuesday, Nov. 3, should take the time to vote if you haven’t done so already by paper ballot.

It doesn’t take much to realize how much is at stake in this election. Whether it’s the Coronavirus Pandemic, the economy, unemployment, the environment, the way our nation is seen globally or a myriad of other reasons, there is no reason to sit this one out. So if you’re not registered, get it done by Oct. 13. If you are registered, vote. Nothing else will suffice. Nothing.

To the Editor:

and ‘misinformation’

Misinformation and Republican propaganda characterized “The Dems have Lost me” letter to the editor in The Observer, Sept. 9, 2020.

The reality is that Trump’s Republican Party is the one responsible since the early 2000s for passing tax breaks to companies that ship jobs overseas, as well as offering huge tax rewards for having offshore tax havens. And Republicans more than a dozen times have blocked the Democrats’ efforts to end these tax breaks largely responsible for pushing US jobs, business and investment overseas.

The trade agreements with China date back to 1979 and resulted from work from both political parties.

And it was mostly the Republican Bush and Reagan administrations’ behind passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement.

As for Trump, GE, Carrier and other large US corporations have outsourced

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

more than 140,000 jobs since he became president, including companies to which his administration gave lucrative federal contracts. Trump’s trade policies and tariffs have been criticized for pushing factory activity not to the US but to poor Asian countries like Vietnam.

All of my claims are verifiable, while I doubt Greg Benarick’s piece would not make it past an objective fact checker.

Everyone needs to do their own research of both sides of an issue and consult objective sources of news and facts this election season. Don’t just listen to one side of the issue and don’t fall for the bluster of a demonstrated liar now acting as our president.

Writer: Only God may heal our hurt nation

To the Editor:

Election Day is fast approaching. It is just under 50 days away, although, it won’t be a presidential election like any other we’ve seen in history. We each have a right and a privilege to cast a vote. Every vote counts and yours may just be the one that changes the course of America.

If we seek God's face, turn from darkness to

light, He will hear from Heaven, forgive our sins and heal our land. His part, His love and His mercy are all certainties. So which will it be for America, going forward? Judgment or redemption?

Your vote decides our country's fate. Do not delay — mail in your ballot. The nation's future is resting on one word — “If.”

God Bless America.

Lyndhurst’s Jorge enjoys old-time baseball game

Talk about loving the game of baseball.

Alexia Jorge wants to play the game so much that she’s willing to drive nearly three hours to play in wool uniforms using no gloves whatsoever.

And get this? The Lyndhurst High School senior had a lot of fun doing so.

Here goes: Jorge, who is a member of the United States National women’s baseball team, heard about a game in Bovina, N.Y. -- which is 143 miles north of Lyndhurst -- that is played with 1895 baseball rules.

Which means, no player in the field uses a glove. Only the catcher has a glove and a chest protector.

Jorge heard about the game, pitting the Mountain Athletic Club, the team that Jorge played for, against the Bovina Dairymen, through a friend.

“One of our friends bought a house up there and they told me about the game,” Jorge said. “I thought it was pretty cool.”

Jorge was the lone woman to play in the oldtime baseball game.

“They really didn’t care about gender,” Jorge said. “They said that other women before helped them.”

But none that play for the U.S. National team.

When Jorge arrived at the patch of grass –you didn’t expect a real baseball field now, did you? – she was provided a uniform that was made entirely of wool. That doesn’t exactly breathe on a hot summer day.

“They threw me in and I started as the pitcher,” Jorge said. “The pitcher’s mound is on flat ground and you can’t wind up to throw. You have a onestep delivery. You have to be set and throw the ball.”

The ball is basically the same, just no gloves.

“The ball us basically the same size, but the stitching is different,” Jorge said. “It’s either black or blue.”

Like the color of her hands after playing.

“It’s very hard to catch a ball barehanded,” Jorge said. “It hurt like you wouldn’t believe. It was really hard when you tried to catch a pop-up. Thank God, nothing was hit back to me when I was pitching. That was my biggest fear, getting hit with a line drive.”

The bats were of the custom, handmade variety. There weren’t exactly Louisville Sluggers back in 1895.

Wild, wacky ride for Lyndhurst native Guerriero

Has two stints with Jets, but then is sent packing before first game

There’s a saying among knowledgeable football people that the NFL really stands for “Not For Long.”

Well, Lyndhurst native Petey Guerriero knows that all too well, especially after his experiences over the last three weeks.

Guerriero, who went undrafted in May’s NFL draft, had a tryout with the New York Jets three weeks ago. The workout with the Jets apparently went well enough that the Jets signed the former Lyndhurst High and Monmouth University standout running back to a free agent contract.

“I felt like I was there,” Guerriero said. “I felt like I belonged.”

But the Jets weren’t totally satisfied with their backfield to start the season, so they released Guerriero two days after signing him.

The Jets had traded for Kalen Ballage from the Miami Dolphins, seemingly getting a running back with NFL experience, so they cut Guerriero.

But when Ballage reported to Florham Park and the Jets’ training facility, he was apparently damaged goods and Ballage failed his physical with his new team. The trade was nullified.

So the Jets called Guerriero and welcomed him back to the fold.

However, two more days of practices come and go and on Thursday before the first game, Guerriero was released once again.

Photo courtesy of Facebook and Rich Tuero Lyndhurst native Petey Guerriero shows what he did during New York Jets’ preseason workouts, enough to see him get signed and subsequently released by the club twice over the last three weeks.

tices, I practiced well. I pass blocked well and did everything that was asked of me. It’s frustrating that I got the opportunity again and I still got sent home.”

and when the Jets announced their 53-man roster and their 10-man practice squad, Guerriero was not among them.

“I felt like I was making the most of my opportunity,” Guerriero said. “They saw my speed. They saw me outrun the safeties. I saw they had only three healthy running backs. I felt I had a really good chance. And after everything I had done, they called me to say that someone was going to come up and get the playbook.”

In normal times, Guerriero would have been sent to the coach’s office, in this case Adam Gase, and asked to bring the playbook.

But in a pandemic world, everything was done over the telephone, which was even colder. Guerriero was searching for answers.

“I didn’t know why,” Guerriero said. “I thought, ‘What do I have to do to make this team?’”

Guerriero has always overcome the obstacles.

He was told that he was

too small to be a college football player, so he elected to take a track scholarship to Monmouth after being a three-sport star at Lyndhurst High (football, basketball and track and field), earning The Observer’s Male Athlete of the Year in 2016.

While competing in track at Monmouth, the coaching staff saw Guerriero’s incredible speed and offered him a spot on the football team. After first being listed seventh on the Hawks’ depth chart, Guerriero ended up being the team’s No. 1 running back.

Last fall, Guerriero was not only the team’s leading rusher, but he was the leading rusher in the entire nation among FCS schools with 1,995 yards. He finished third in the Walter Payton Award voting for the top running back in all of college football.

Even though he had another year of football eligibility remaining at Monmouth, Guerriero decided

to leave school early and declare himself eligible for the NFL Draft.

“I put together three solid years in college,” Guerriero said. “I felt like I had nothing else to prove. I talked about it with a couple of people, like Coach (Rich) Tuero (the Lyndhurst head coach). I was supposed to graduate on time. My decision to leave was final. I decided to go for it (the NFL Draft). I didn’t think it was a gamble. I didn’t see it as being much of a gamble. I was pretty confident in my abilities.”

However, when the NFL Draft began, Guerriero was not at home, sitting beside the phone, waiting for it to ring.

“I planned on not watching it at all,” Guerriero said. “But my family was over and my girlfriend was watching it. I thought there were a couple of teams that could have picked me.”

But it didn’t happen.

Guerriero went undrafted

in the NFL Draft, making him a total free agent.

“At first, I was really shocked by it,” Guerriero said.

Then, the real shocker happened. Guerriero didn’t even receive a free agent invitation to a training camp.

“I was very concerned,” Guerriero said. “I thought it was kind of outrageous. There were guys from DIII and D-II (NCAA Division III and Division II) schools getting signed and I wasn’t getting an offer. I said, ‘What is happening here?’ I didn’t think my size played against me. I had no idea why I didn’t get a chance. I was very upset and stayed that way for a couple of weeks. I thought I was reliving my life all over again.”

Guerriero was unwanted out of high school, but found a home and blew up the record books at Monmouth. So who’s to say he couldn’t do the same in the NFL.

packing.

It all just doesn’t seem fair.

Guerriero will continue to work out religiously, hoping and praying some team calls Guerriero’s agent.

“I’m staying in shape and I’m ready for whatever comes,” Guerriero said. “After going through all that I have in my life, I know I’ll be there one day. I’m going to give the next team my most. I understand it from the business side to it all.”

Still, getting signed, cut, re-signed and cut again in a span of three weeks is brutal for one young man to handle. It’s worse when he’s one of our own, someone we’ve watched and admired for the last seven years. You want him to succeed. You want to see him play on Sunday and play for pay.

Then Guerriero finally gets his shot – twice – and twice the Jets send him

“I’m just thankful to the people who believed in me,” Guerriero said. “The ones that stuck with me and stayed by me, they’re the ones who matter to me.”

As states begin to reopen, people are getting excited about life returning to normal, but it is best not to expect business as usual when venturing back into the world. For starters, you should still take the same health precautions you were performing during the lockdown. Face masks should still be worn whenever you’re in public, and six feet should still be maintained between you and anyone you do not live with whenever possible. Frequent, thorough hand washing is still required (and always a good idea). If you are in a high-risk group or have frequent contact with someone who is (like a parent or spouse), it is still best to stay home as much as

Depending on your risk of severe illness from the virus, consider forgoing appointments at places that require close contact. Otherwise you should call ahead to find out what protocol they’re using. Only go to places that space out timing of appointments and physically distance customers. To learn more, please call

Awards shows will be mostly virtual in 2020

By JoAnn Barton Special to The Observer

As we mentioned a few weeks ago in The Observer, live entertainment, as we once knew it, has become something else, something new, in its entirety. Be it sporting events, musical artists, Broadway shows, etc., awards shows are also part of that mix now.

As host of “Applause Radio Show,” I recently had the opportunity to speak to Adam Sharp, the president and CEO of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS).

We spoke with Sharp prior to the Daytime Emmy Awards.

I wish I could say NATAS was the pioneer of presenting the Daytime Emmy Awards online, but the truth of the matter is, they have been doing the awards show online for some time now. So, in a way they are the pioneers of producing online award shows, but never during a pandemic. They made it a first once again.

Prior to the pandemic, the Daytime Emmys were presented online for years. Since daytime soaps are few in number these days, NATAS has been producing the award show virtually for years.

However, now with social distancing and large events otherwise canceled, there are other award shows coming up. There was recently the MTV Video Music Awards, the News and Broadcasting Emmys, the Primetime Emmys hosted by talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, the Oscars and the American Music Awards and the Grammys in January and February, respectively.

On Sept. 6, “Applause Radio Show” also spoke with Rachel Schwartz, the manager of the Daytime Emmys Administration for NATAS. She said

the Daytime Emmys went off well. There were some technical issues, but nothing they could not handle.

Having Schwartz on the show brought up the Oscars, the Primetime Emmys and the News and Documentary Emmys which are coming up next week, on Sept. 21 and 22.

Imagine, almost 1,000 people all Zooming at once for the same event — presenters, nominees and the entertainment.

The Daytime Emmys were sans entertainment, which likely made putting it all together and making it all happen a lot easier. But all in all, it was some feat.

Schwartz and the NATAS team are currently working on the News and Documentary Emmys which will air live next week — you may watch it by going to www.theemmys.tv.

The show will be different, but I am sure it will be great and is a must see.

Regarding the Oscars and Prime Time Emmys, I am more than positive they will be entertaining as well. They have had someone break the seal for them — and they have proven repeatedly that it can be done well.

An interesting fact about the virtual awards shows is that the presenters have the winners’ envelopes in their hands already. There must be temptation to open those envelopes. And if one of the presenter’s connections should crash, there is one person who has all the envelopes containing the winners’ names.

Check out your local listings for information about the Prime Time Emmys and the Oscars for their air dates and if they will be viewed virtually or on television.

Outdoor Dining Now Available!

You’re not alone if you like to soak up some early morning sunshine before going in to work or enjoy an outdoorsy happy hour to help you decompress — any excuse is good to enjoy some time sitting on a bistro or bar patio.

Whether it’s on the roof of a building, near a waterfront, or on a busy street, most towns and cities have a restaurant patio where you can relax and enjoy the warm season. In the morning, choose the patio of a local café, where the delicious

aromas of roasting and brewing coffee are sure to set you up perfectly for your day. At noon, pick the stimulating atmosphere of a busy street patio to keep your brain cells alert and active during lunch hour. In the evening, a hushed and exotic atmosphere may be preferred.

A view is a must, and big city patios are no exception. An unobstructed view of the architectural highlights of a city can be just as appealing as a lakefront. Downtown courtyard patios

might be surrounded by walls, but the best establishments take care to fill them with interesting plants and flowers. Urban or rural, quiet or festive, patios are a great spot for friendly encounters or to enjoy quiet moments alone.

They are the places that remind us to take advantage of the warm months, where we can immerse ourselves in the summer scents and busy sounds of outdoor life, all with the comfort of a coffee, glass of wine, or artisanal beer in hand.

game, he’d have to move the pre-K classes by the end of the calendar year someplace else because the borough would be accepting a Hudson County grant to renovate parts of the rec center.

But Grilo says she’s been cooperative with the board to find an alternate location for pre-K.

“A few considerations were the former St. Anthony’s and Holy Cross school sites, full day class at nearby child learning centers, former school trailers, none which were followed up by school officials,” Grilo wrote. “We continue to look for locations with a possibility

Catch

of relocating the pre-K to a full-day class at the newly built Kennedy School in Harrison.”

Corbett, meanwhile, responded to Grilo in a statement he issued Sept. 9.

He says the mayor only offered the St. Anthony’s property as a potential pre-K alternative. However, several months ago, Corbett told this newspaper that location would never be approved by the NJ Department of Education because it was not up to current building standards.

“The East Newark Board of Education supports the borough council’s efforts to renovate the recreational center. However, the board is concerned that such efforts, at least as they are now proposed,

jeopardizes the district’s pre-school program,” Corbett said in a written statement.

“The only alternate location offered by the mayor was the former St. Anthony’s school. The Hudson County Department of Education has determined that this is not a suitable location. The board has not been offered ‘multiple options’ by the mayor or her administration.

“Nearby child learning centers were never formally presented as an option to the board. Trailers are not viable options since they typically require 12 months to plan, and a suitable location. We have been told to vacate by December 2020. Therefore, we have neither the time nor a location to plant trailers. Until Mayor Grilo’s editorial, I have

heard nothing about the Kennedy School in Harrison.

“At their Aug. 17 meeting, I reported to the board of education that I met with the Pastor of Holy Cross Parish to discuss the former Holy Cross School as a possible location. Since then, I have met on site with our architect, and the Department of Education. All agree that to make the former Holy Cross School suitable for students by December 2020 will require a lot of money and work in a short period. This location is currently under consideration.

“The board of education welcomes relocation suggestions from the mayor or any concerned citizen. The ultimate decision lies with the board of education.”

these every day.’

After four innings pitching off flat ground – no such thing as a pitcher’s mound in 1895 – Jorge moved over to play second base for the remainder of the game.

“Just the throw down to second base from the catcher hurt catching,”

Jorge said. “I had to catch it no matter what. And it hurt. My hands hurt a few days after playing.”

Jorge said that she had four at-bats and drove in a run with a fielder’s choice in the eighth inning.

“It was very strange and very different,” Jorge said. “The ball didn’t carry much. It made me appreciate the game a little bit more. I never thought I’d be in a game like this.”

Needless to say, it was an experience Jorge will never forget.

“It was an honor,” Jorge said. “It was an once-ina-lifetime opportunity. I

was lucky to be given the opportunity to play in the game. I was very thankful for that. It made me thankful for all of my equipment now. It made me appreciate the game a little more.”

Jorge will now get ready for the Women’s World Cup Tournament, which is still scheduled to take place in Tijuana, Mexico in November.

Jorge lost the entire 2020 high school baseball season, her junior year, thanks to the pandemic. She also was sidelined all summer long from playing with her travel teams.

“The Women’s World Cup couldn’t come any sooner,” said Jorge, who will probably play fall baseball with a team to prepare for her duties with the Women’s National Team.

Not many kids get a chance to play in an oldtime baseball game. But then again, not many kids are members of the U.S. National Women’s Baseball team. Chalk another memorable moment on the baseball diamond for Alexia Jorge.

Ironically, it is difficult to see injury on an eye’s surface without a bit of help. This is why ophthalmologists use a fluorescein eye stain test when searching for damage on the cornea. The cornea is the clear outer covering on the eye that protects it from dust, germs, and direct light. When applied, fluorescein dye highlights abrasions, scratches, and foreign objects on the cornea’s surface. To see these highlights properly, a cobalt blue light is shown into the eye. The fluorescein eye stain test may stain the skin around the eyes or any material that comes into contact with tears for a day or so, but the procedure is completely safe and free of

After the test, your doctor will use the results to diagnosis any problems you’re having with your eyes. They’ll meet with you to discuss the damage discovered on your cornea and plan any necessary treatment. Please call our office at 201-896-0096.

At 10:11 p.m. on Aug.

31, Officers Josh Lopez and Anthony Oliveira and Sgt. Jay Ward responded to an identified citizen’s call that a male was pacing on Magnolia Avenue while saying that he was going to beat someone up. The officers located the described male who turned out to be a 17-yearold Harrison boy.

The boy was described in a police report as being

“enraged,” so much so that police spoke to him and he let the officers know it with an expression of foul language.

The officers told the boy to stay put for a few moments because they were investigating

a report of a threat of violence. The boy allegedly told the cops, with a sprinkling of vulgarities, that he knew his rights. When the boy tried to walk away, he was taken into custody for obstructing the administration of law.

A search incident to arrest showed the boy was armed with a set of brass knuckles. He also pos -

sessed a small container of marijuana, a bong, vape pens and cigarillo wrapping papers.

This earned the boy delinquency charges of obstructing the administration of law, possession of marijuana and paraphernalia and weapons offenses.

He was processed and released into the custody of a parent.
