MAKING A MURAL

Local artist joins Belleville High School students to transform otherwise bare wall

T

hey say it takes a village to help beautify a township.

Thanks to a united effort from many — including budding Belleville High School artists and one local painter with a lot of talent and pride in her adopted home — a large swath of concrete wall along the Passaic River has been transformed into a sprawling work of art.

The space is now a celebration of the township’s world-famous cherry blossoms — wholly appropriate

Letter carrier, a resident of Kearny, arrested & charged with discarding his mail in North Arlington dumpster

A

U.S. Postal Service mail carrier from Kearny was arrested Wednesday, Oct. 7, and charged with allegedly discarding mail, including 99 general election ballots sent from the Essex County Board of Elections and intended to be delivered to West Orange

residents, from his assigned routes in Orange and West Orange, U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito announced.

Nicholas Beauchene, 26, of Kearny, is charged by complaint with one count of delay, secretion or detention of mail and one count of obstruction of mail.

He was to appear Wednesday, Oct. 7, See FRAUD, Page 16

because Belleville is the Cherry Blossom Capital of America.

The Cherry Blossom Art Mural greets visitors with long, twisting branches covered in life-like blossoms.

It is proudly emblazoned with the words “Welcome to Belleville,” with the town’s name bursting in cherry-blossom pinks and lavenders and etched in yellow.

No, this isn’t an illusion — it’s actually a bear that has been spotted in Harrison and Kearny — on top of a building in Harrison. He’s evaded capture, so check back next week for updates.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

In November 1999, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.

I was in terrible shock, but I knew I had to remain calm for my children. My health was always very well and I didn’t have a family history of this disease. I am very grateful because I had tremendous support from my mother, sisters, family, friends. My husband's love was unconditional and my children were my greatest supporters.

For about three years after my diagnosis, I had been wondering how to help other survivors. Sixteen years ago for the first time in Kearny, we kicked off the "Tie a Ribbon" campaign, thanks to our Mayor Alberto G. Santos and councilmembers, Deb Belfatto, the former Executive Director of the Susan G. Komen North Jersey affiliate, Lisa Feorenzo of The Observer, Rosemary Dressler (former volunteer director of West Hudson Hospital), survivors, volunteers and family. Since 2005, we have been doing "Tie a Ribbon" in East Newark and Harrison, now with a great support of Minette's Angels Foundation and the Lucy Angel Foundation.

As a breast cancer survivor, I learned keeping a positive attitude is a way to overcome any challenge. I use affirmations and uplifting messages every day, and of course, I am still dancing. Remember: "Life isn’t about what happens to you — it’s about how you handle what happens."- Emma Quintana/Kearny

Car had Corona (beer) and no licensed drivers: KPD

By Capt. Tim Wagner Kearny Police Department On October 2 at 11:12 p.m., Officer Nick Funk started negotiating a left turn onto Passaic Avenue from the Belleville Pike and was surprised to see a Dodge Ram pickup truck coming straight at him and failing to yield the right of way.

Officer Funk says had the green left-turn only arrow activated on his side of the intersection.

Officer Funk turned around and followed the Dodge, which he noted was traveling well below the 30 miles per hour speed limit and was swerving. He pulled over the pickup at Devon St., where the truck clipped a parked car before coming to rest. The officer approached to find a 16-year-old unlicensed driver, an Orange resident, accompanied by an open pack of Corona beers.

The passenger, Isaras Pablo-Mendez, 21, of Orange, was also unlicensed.

When both occupants were asked out of the truck, Pablo-Mendez allegedly walked over to a Devon Street resident’s garbage can and urinated on it in view of onlookers. After Pablo-Mendez relieved himself, Officer Funk arrested him on a lewdness charge and issued a ticket for urinating in public contrary to Town ordinance.

The driver failed field sobriety tests and was arrested for DWI and six other traffic infractions. He was later released to an adult.

Pablo-Mendez, likewise was later released with his summonses. The owner of the pickup, Dulce E. Wilmo, 44, of Orange, was mailed a summons for allowing an unlicensed driver to operate her vehicle.

On October 2 at 11:18 p.m., Officer Anthony

Oliveira stopped a Lexus on Belgrove Drive that was being driven without a front license plate and with heavily tinted front windows. Officer Oliveira approached the Lexus, appreciated the familiar odor of raw marijuana and saw a large Ziploc on the passenger side floor which contained several smaller packages of marijuana.

Officer Oliveira had driver, Wilkens Mytil, 35, of Roselle, exit the car and take with him the 4-year-old child in the backseat. In total, Officer Oliveira seized 10 glass cylinders containing a hand rolled marijuana cigarillo in each cylinder labeled as “Hurricane Rolls” of various flavors; two sandwich bags of marijuana labeled “Billy Kimber OG” and “King Louix;” one small glass container of marijuana labeled “Moon Rock;” one THC cartridge labeled “Raw Garden Refined Live Resin;” a prescription-type pill bottle of marijuana; a plastic package of marijuana labeled “Annie Exotics Mac;” a prescription-type pill bottle containing marijuana residue and $624 in currency.

The 4-year-old’s mother was contacted and took custody of him.

Mytil was charged with possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, possession of a controlled dangerous substance (CDS) with intent to distribute, and intent to distribute CDS in a school zone. He was issued traffic tickets for improper license plate display, safety glass requirement (tinted windows) and operation of vehicle while in possession of CDS. Mytil was later released with summonses.

On Oct. 8 at half past midnight, Officer Oliveira stopped a Mazda that pulled out without lights on from the Quick Mart on the

Belleville Turnpike. As it was being pulled over on Beech Street, the Mazda’s driver

turned on its lights revealing that the license plate bulb was burnt out.

When Officer Oliveira approached to speak with driver Everest K. Wynn, 25, of Kearny, he smelled marijuana in the car and asked Wynn and his 17-year-old passenger to exit. The officer located a drawstring bag on the passenger side floor containing five individually-packaged plastic bags of varying sizes, of marijuana (4 ounces total), three packages of cigarillo cigars and one empty THC

cartridge.

Both occupants were taken into custody. A search of the juvenile revealed that he had 38, $20 bills and two $5 bills in his pocket ($770 total).

Man and boy were charged with possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia and possession with intent to distribute a CDS. Wynn received traffic tickets for visibility of lamps, inadequate license plate illumination and operating a vehicle while in possession of CDS. Both were later released.

Funding for Lyndhurst NJ Transit station on its way

By Kevin Canessa kc@theobserver.com Lyndhurst’s secondary train station is finally ready to be upgraded thanks to the folks at NJ Transit and Mayor Robert B. Giangeruso.

The NJ Transit Board of Directors has approved an $18.5 million contract for the construction of the new Lyndhurst Train Station (seen in a rendering at right) to replace the current 107-year-old station. The new fully accessible station, to be located at the corner of Delafield Avenue and Court Avenue, will be closer to the commuter parking lot, making it more convenient for customers.

“With this new station, NJ Transit is investing in Lyndhurst, in New Jersey and in our future,” said NJ Transit President & CEO Kevin Corbett. “When it’s finished, this station will be a perfect example of everything we gain by investing in transit. For customers, the new station will improve the experience for the hundreds of people who use it every

day and provide full accessibility for those with disabilities. The contract award also means good construction jobs for New Jerseyans, which will support the state’s economic recovery following the pandemic.”

The station building is designed to replicate the historic style of the Lyndhurst neighborhood and will include ADA-accessible platforms, new stairs, four elevators, lighting, canopies, communications and closed-circuit TV. Six firms bid on the project, with the contract going to Anselmi & Decicco, Inc., of Maplewood.

The ADA-accessible parking lot will be located next to the new station on

The station, located on the Main Line, pre-COVID 19, served an average of approximately 1,000 weekday

he said. “We are very happy the project will move forward and that the new Lyndhurst train station will be state-of-the-art and among the best in the entire state of New Jersey.”

In thanks to Emma Quintana and her support group Mujeres Valientes

E

Wednesday, October 14, 2020

very community has certain people who make a difference. Whether it’s in their volunteer efforts, their financial donations and the like, so many are difference-makers and they often go below the radar on their own volition.

In West Hudson, one such person is Emma Quintana, of Kearny, a woman who fought — and defeated — breast cancer two decades ago.

That time period was one of the most difficult for Emma. There were so many unknowns. Would she defeat this hideous disease? Would her family be there to support her?

Fortunately, the answer to both is “yes.”

But you see, Emma didn’t just beat breast cancer — she took what she experienced and turned it into one of the most noted, successful cancer support groups, Mujeres Valientes, in the area.

The group is designed for anyone who has experienced the effects of breast cancer, as a patient or as the loved one of a patient. At first, they met at the former West Hudson Hospital.

When the hospital closed, meetings moved to East Newark.

To this very day, scores of women and men have been able to meet, to talk, to express the emotions of suffering from breast cancer.

And because Emma decided that it wasn’t enough just to conquer breast cancer, so many people’s lives have been made better because of her efforts.

In the coming days, when you see pink ribbons tied on many trees in West Hudson, stop for a moment. Think of Emma. Recall that 12% of all women will develop breast cancer in their lifetimes. Know that in 2020, “an estimated 276,480 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in women in the U.S.” Then realize what Emma does is priceless.

We know we couldn’t be more grateful.

Writer: ‘Founding Fathers are rolling over in their graves’ To the Editor: I just read Mr. Benarick’s second letter to your fine newspaper and as the popular nowadays goes, “There’s a lot to unpack.”

Did someone actually try to burn his house down? Or was that the threat in the letter he received? Did he actually receive ricin at his home just for wanting to support someone as inept as our current president?

The Founding Fathers he mentions — Washington, Jefferson, Adams — they’re rolling over in their graves because of a few letters being sent out in North Jersey? Not because of the atrocities that have happened — and continue to happen — in our great

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR country? And two of the three he mentions, by the way, were slave owners — so maybe that their ideas are “surely dead” isn’t such a bad thing?

I wish nothing but the best for Mr. Benarick — even if I might disagree that “America was built on discussion.” I don’t think I ever learned that in any of the history classes I had all those years ago.

Writer: Dems want absolute power To the Editor: There is an old saying, “Too many cooks spoil the broth.” That would be a perfect description to describe voting by mail-in ballot in the upcoming presidential election.

There are too many hands that could have an opportunity to touch the mailin ballots before they are counted. With the hate that is expressed by the Democrats and Republicans for each other in this election, it is easy to see why people would be tempted, through incompetence, or for out and out fraud, to alter the results of this election.

People in Iraq have stood on line to exercise their privilege to vote under threat of suicide bombings. We can stand in line, the same as we do at our supermarkets with our masks on, and social distancing, using hand sanitizers on our way in and out of the voting booth.

This is the only way to ensure a true counting of the ballots that are cast. However, to exercise our privilege to vote in this manner would not create enough chaos for the Democrats who will stop at nothing to gain power over us.

LPD takes part in Torch Run

Lyndhurst cop helps woman being attacked by pit bull

At approximately 8:06 a.m., Thursday, Oct. 8, Officer Anthony Giaquinto was dispatched to the area of Union Avenue and Third Street on a report of a stray dog. As Officer Giaquinto approached the area, his attention was drawn to a commotion taking place on the North Arlington side of Union Avenue on Third Street.

Officer Giaquinto immediately proceeded to the area and as he approached, he noticed an elderly woman lying on her back while holding her dog as she fought off a pit bull.

reportedly been left open.

The victim, Phyllis Goodman of North Arlington, was taken to Hackensack University Medical Center after she sustained eight small puncture wounds on her hands, all sustained while attempting to intervene and prevent the pit bull from biting her dog.

She was examined and then released.

Mrs. Goodman described her dog as a 5-year-old Whippet mix she obtained through a pet rescue. Her dog was examined at the Arlington Dog and Cat Hospital, Kearny, and was released after being treated for puncture wounds to the nape of the neck.

The pit bull appeared to be unharmed as a result of the incident and was released to its owner.

Charges against the owner of the pit bull are pending through the North Arlington Police Department as a result of the incident occurring in their jurisdiction.

“This is just another example of one of our officers putting himself in harm’s way to ensure the safety of another,” Det. Lt. Vincent Auteri, the Lyndhurst Police Department’s public information officer said.

rick-or-treating tips, options for distributing candy and protocols for outdoor activities are among the health and safety guidelines urged by the New Jersey Department of Health in its guidance to help trickor-treaters and others celebrating Halloween amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

For all activities, social distancing, mask wearing, proper hand sanitizing and gathering limits should be observed.

“In communities across our state, Halloween is more than just a fun activity, but a community and family tradition,” Gov. Philip D. Murphy said.

“This guidance offers the appropriate public health and safety protocols to ensure that everyone has the chance to enjoy Halloween in a safe and responsible manner.”

Groups trick-or-treating should be limited to current household members, be local and limit the number of homes visited. Trick-ortreaters should wear a face mask: costume masks are not a substitute. If trick-ortreating with non-household members, individuals should socially distance.

The guidance also provides several options for handing out treats, noting the best option is to arrange individually packaged candy to avoid having trick-ortreaters dip into a shared bowl.

Candy should be commercially packaged and non-perishable.

“The Health Department annually recommends Halloween safety tips such as carrying glow sticks or flashlights while trick-ortreating and having parents check the candy. However, this year is different than

any other year,” Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli said. “The Health Department’s guidance provides steps parents and communities can take to ensure safe and responsible trick-or-treating and other Halloween activities.”

For outdoor trunk-ortreating, limits should be placed on the number of participating cars to ensure space for social distancing and also to minimize crowds.

Assigned times or multiple shifts should be considered to minimize crowding.

The guidance also notes that indoor or outdoor Halloween parties are subject to the indoor and outdoor gatherings limits and recommends that indoor haunted houses should be avoided. Anyone hosting a haunted house should consider staggered start times and an outdoor location.

Hayrides should limit the number of passengers per ride and keep openings to the same party. Any shared materials should be cleaned and sanitized after each use.

Corn mazes should limit occupancy, only allow groups that come in together to use the maze at one time, and avoid the use of shared materials.

Entities hosting these events are encouraged to take reservations and/or sell tickets in advance.

Socially distant Halloween activities that would require minimal or no additional health and safety protocols could include virtual activities such as online costume parties, driving through neighborhoods with Halloween displays or Halloween-themed movie nights with family.

Lyndhurst football looks to rebuild it all back up again

ogsmar@aol.com

Sylvia takes over as new coach, but Kardinal girls soccer rolls on It’s a new era for the Kearny High School girls’ soccer team, as former boys’ assistant coach Mike Sylvia has taken over for Stefanee Pace Kivelhan.

“I did a little bit of double duty,” Sylvia said.

“This wasn’t something that I had planned. But when the position opened up, I thought it was a great opportunity. My roots are firmly set in Kearny. I thought I could move in pretty well. I know most of the core group pretty well. I’ve taught some of them. I think they know my style and know my personality.

I’m happy that they have someone they knew.”

It certainly appears as if the Kardinals have responded well to their new coach. Just three games into the Mike Sylvia era and the Kardinals are on an absolute roll, outscoring their opponents by a total of 31-0 over the three games.

That’s called making a splash.

But to the new head coach, soccer is more than putting the ball into the back of the net.

“I believe in building character,” said Sylvia, who gained his reputation as being a solid goalkeep-

ers’ coach. “I believe in having values and what it means to be a Kearny soccer player, what it means to wear the Kearny crest, the Kearny badge.

I want the players to do everything like it’s the last time they’ll ever play the game.”

So far, it looks as if the message has hit home.

Sylvia is so fond of goalkeepers that he’s kept three on his roster for the 2020 season.

“Working with these girls and my goalkeeping background, I know what they have to do,” Sylvia said. “So we get on the field before everyone and train earlier before practice. I think we get a lot from that. We’ve had a good goalkeeping tradition here with players like Jen Pettigrew and Meaghan McClelland (both of whom had stints with the United States National Team). I hope to stoke that flame a little.”

The Kardinals will utilize all three in sophomores Natalie Osorio and Gabriela Matias and freshman Aracely Vazquez in goal. Natalie Osorio is the younger sister of Samantha Osorio, last year’s Observer Female Athlete of the Year.

better,” Tuero said. “The coaches, the players, we’re all excited to build it back up again. Lyndhurst is a small town. These things happen.

But we’ve done it before, so let’s do it again.”

In 2014, the Golden Bears went 1-9 with new head coach Tuero, taking over a program that was in somewhat of turmoil. And six years later, the Golden Bears were the toast of Bergen County, going 11-1.

“We just have to go back to work,” Tuero said. “We understand it. So we go through every practice, just trying to get better. If we do something wrong, we identify it and get back on it. Watching these kids get better has been great for me.

And I have no doubt we will be back.”

Leading the way for the Golden Bears is junior quarterback John Lembo (5foot-9, 165 pounds). He’s the See LYNDHURST, Page 10

Juniors Ricky Rainey (5-10, 165), Brandon Rivera (5-9, 165) and Tristan Guzman (63, 160) and sophomore Tony Frangipane (5-6, 150) are all sure-handed pass catchers.

“We have great potential in our receivers,” Tuero said.

The offensive line features seniors Karam Daoud (6-0, 280) at tackle and Izaak Castellon (5-9, 240) at guard.

Junior Angel Velez (6-2, 190) is the other tackle, while fellow juniors Ethan Rodriguez (5-8, 215) and Kledis Leka (58, 200) at guard and center respectively. Rodriguez is a

Defensively, the Bears use a 3-4 set.

Castellon is on the nose, with Velez and Rodriguez at defensive ends. Rodriguez started at defensive end last year.

Cimicata and sophomore Brandon Pollio (5-7, 150) are the outside linebackers, with Rainey and sophomore Dwayne Tucker (5-4, 170) at the inside linebacker slots.

The cornerbacks are Frangipane and junior T.J. Jimenez (5-11, 160) with Lembo and DeMarco at safety. DeMarco started at safety for the state champions a year ago.

“We just have to keep working at getting better every day,” Tuero said. “The circumstances being what they are, with the coronavirus and all, we’re out there playing football. This is what it is. These kids can set an example for the younger guys. They can teach the younger guys how it’s done.

We’re 0-2, sure. But we can finish 6-2. That’s what we’re embracing and going after every day. We believe it. I do and so does my staff.”

LOCKDOWN DOESN’T HAVE TO MEAN COUCH BOUND

If you’re used to going to the gym several times a week, the covid-19 lockdown is likely messing with your workout routine. After all, if you had the gym equipment at home, you probably wouldn’t need the membership. But there are several ways to keep fit even without the free weights and ellipticals. Use your own body weight for planking, jumping jacks, and pushups. Go for a run or a power-walk. If you have kids at home with you, establish a recess time, and get physical with them! Some people are even creating backyard obstacle courses. Use what you have at hand like paint cans for weights or a step stool for cardio. Be creative and be well!

Many gyms are providing online exercise sessions you can do from

home, and YouTube has videos on a wide range of different types of exercise, many of which don’t require any equipment. One of the many benefits of exercise is its ability to help us keep our stress under control. When you need a break from work or the news, instead of reaching for junk food, get up and get moving! For more information about staying fit and healthy during this pandemic, please call PREMIER CARE ASSOCIATES OF WEST HUDSON at 201-998-7474, 7 days a week. Our office is located at 512 Kearny Ave., Suite B. P.S. If you find inspiration in working out with a partner, you can still do so as long as you keep six feet apart and sanitize any shared equipment.

The Kearny Kardinals are off to a sizzling start, winning all three of their matches thus far by a combined score of 31-0. Front row, from left, is Gabriela Schivel, Tatyanne Schivel, Kylie Fisher, Evelyn Benavides and Mariana Martins. Back row, from left, is Maci Covello, Gabriela Matias, Aracely Vazquez, Natalie Osorio, Andrea Toledo and head coach Mike Sylvia.

The forward line features sophomore Emily Horvaht, who has absolutely exploded onto the scene this fall, scoring eight goals in the three games, including an astounding six in a win over Memorial of West New York.

“She’s definitely a strong, physical player,” Sylvia said

of his team’s leading scorer.

“She’s tough.”

Senior Julia Viscuso, the team’s top returning scorer from a year ago who had seven goals last year, already has three this season.

“She’s our fastest sprinter,” Sylvia said. “She has the potential to have a breakout

year. She’s very good attacking one-on-one.”

Sophomore Paige Raefski and sophomore Julia Araujo are also fixtures on the front line. Both young ladies have tallied three goals apiece this season. Seems like there are a lot of Kardinals with three goals.

“I like to play with three attackers,” Sylvia said. “Paige is really fast and is a good finisher. Julia Araujo just never stops working.”

Needless to say, things are going well for the Kardinals, that Sylvia hasn’t skipped a beat in his new role.

The Kardinals will see what they’re made of this week. After a showdown with West Orange on Monday, they have games against perennial rival Bayonne Wednesday and Union City on Saturday morning at 11 a.m., with all games at the high school field.

TOO YOUNG FOR CATARACTS?

Although cataracts are considered an age-related condition, usually affecting people over 60, there is a small percentage of people under age 40 that develop premature or early onset cataracts. Cataracts occur when the protein in the eye clumps together, making the lens opaque and reducing the amount of light that can enter the eye. This can occur in younger people with certain conditions such as diabetes and as a reaction to certain medications, radiation exposure, smoking, obesity, and excessive UV ray exposure. Cataracts can also occur after a traumatic eye injury, including penetration or blunt force. In the case of a cataract caused by injury, surgical removal is usually easier than cataracts caused by age or illness.

While cataracts are not painful,

they do cause many symptoms such as blurry vision, fewer details, glare while driving or reading, dull colors, changes in your glasses prescription and double vision in one eye. New advances and techniques have made cataract surgery one of the most successful and life-improving surgical procedures performed. Please call our eye center today at 201-896-0096 to schedule an appointment. To reach our optical shop, call 201896-0007. Our office is located at 20 Park Avenue, Lyndhurst. We accept most insurance.

P.S. Since diabetics are more likely to develop cataracts and other ocular issues, it is recommended that they have frequent eye exams. They may also qualify for better insurance coverage for eye health.

FRAUD

Continued from Page 1 before U.S. Magistrate Judge Cathy L. Waldor in Newark federal court.

According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court: Approximately 1,875 pieces of mail — including 627 pieces of first class, 873 pieces of standard class, two pieces of certified mail, 99 general election ballots destined for residents in West Orange and 276 campaign flyers from local candidates for West

MURAL

Continued from Page 1 going to be exciting and satisfying to all who see it,” Mayor Michael Melham said.

The painting of the wall was coordinated by Athena Zhe, an artist who settled in Belleville after relocating

Orange Town Council and Board of Education — were reportedly recovered from dumpsters in North Arlington and West Orange on Oct. 2, 2020, and Oct. 5, 2020.

The mail had been scheduled to be delivered on Sept. 28, Oct. 1, and Oct. 2, 2020, to addresses on certain postal routes in Orange and West Orange.

On the delivery dates for which mail was recovered, Beauchene was the only mail carrier assigned to deliver mail to the addresses on the recovered mail.

The recovered mail was placed back into the stream

for delivery to its intended recipients.

Copies of the recovered mail were made and retained as evidence.

North Arlington Mayor Daniel H. Pronti told The Observer the dumpster where the mail was reportedly found is in the parking lot at the North Arlington FoodTown, adjacent to the Great Clips property, also near Santander Bank.

The mayor says he’s concerned that this could happen, not just in North Arlington, but anywhere with any kind of mail.

“I have no issue with

people who ask for ballots — and who are expecting ballots — to vote by mail,” Pronti, a Republican, said.

“It’s the people who aren’t expecting the ballots where things can happen. That’s where forged ballots could be a bigger issue.”

The mayor also wanted it to be clear — the ballot drop box at Borough Hall is under 24/7 surveillance and it is absolutely safe for residents to place their filled-out mail ballots in the box.

The delay of mail charge is punishable by a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

The obstruction of mail charge is punishable by a maximum penalty of six months in prison and a $5,000 fine.

U.S. Attorney Carpenito credited special agents of the USPS-Office of Inspector General, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Matthew Modafferi, Northeast Area Field Office, with the investigation leading to today’s arrest. He also thanked the North Arlington Police Department, under the direction of Chief Scott Hedenberg, for their assistance.

some 5,000 miles from her native Ukraine.

Zhe, who previously created a large mural and decorated ordinary traffic control boxes, was handpicked for the mural’s creation by Belleville’s Municipal Green Team.

The Green Team recently received funding for the new mural, called “Welcome

to Belleville,” an illustration of a continuous pattern of branching cherry blossoms.

Zhe had a lot of help to make the mural come to life.

She worked in collaboration with Belleville High School art teacher Carolina Rivera and her art club.

“The art club members and I were thrilled to be a part of beautifying Belleville’s Main Street by helping Athena paint the mural,” Rivera said.

“Everyone who participated learned from Athena, as well as being proud to help in beautifying the community in which they

live. The students will always remember being a part of this experience.”

Not only was the location selected for the mural a unique mixture of commercial, industrial and residential areas, but it was handpicked for its importance and visibility.

Many of Belleville’s historic riverfront houses were demolished and the loss of Belleville’s waterfront property is replaced with the concrete embankment we see today.

Even before a single brush was put to concrete, the Belleville Department

of Public Works helped by cleaning the area and removing debris. Then, it painted the solid color for the background.

“This was an amazing collaboration,” Zhe said. “I was very delighted to have talented art students from the high school help me paint the mural and beautify our community. It was my pleasure to share painting tips and tricks with the students. They followed the instructions very well and their hard work and painting skills sped up the process in beautifying our beautiful town.”
