Guy visits Kearny to announce Open Space Trust Fund recommendations for 2025
Three major projects will be funded here in West Hudson
By Kevin A. Canessa Jr. kc@theobserver.com
The weather was perfect and the setting grand as Hudson County Executive Guy celebrated the 20year anniversary of the Hudson County Open Space, Recreation, & Historic Preservation Trust Fund — a program that during its two decade life has appropriated a total of $112,203,252 — by revealing the grants for 2025 outside the Hartung Center in Kearny on the banks of the Passaic River.
Among many other dignitaries who were present were Kearny Mayor Carol Jean Doyle, Superintendent of Kearny Schools Flora Encarnacao and Chairman of the Hudson County Board of Commissioners Anthony Romano.
The fund has created over 20 parks, established, upgraded or improved 42 recreation facilities — including Kearny’s new recreation and community center — developed or rehabilitat-
ed 14 spray parks — including at West Hudson Park — more than 50 playgrounds and preserved 19 historic sites throughout all 12 municipalities in Hudson County.
“My administration is determined to continue making Hudson County the best place to live, work, raise a family. This is why in 2024 I championed the Open Space levy to return to a full penny with the agreement of the County’s local elected leaders and the Board of County Commissioners – making 2025 the largest funding cycle since the Open Space Trust Fund’s inception,” Guy said. “As the county celebrates this milestone achievement of 20 years, we reflect on why the Open Space Trust Fund was created — to upgrade, repair and create open spaces and parks in all 12 municipalities within the county.

Amid great fanfare, East Newark reopens Veterans Field
ast Newark kicked off a vibrant new chapter for its community
Monday, May 19. “The children of our borough are our most cherished priority. We continually strive to enhance their experiences
and provide the best activities possible. Today’s success would not have been possible without the invaluable support of Craig Guy, Hudson County Open
Space, Mike Mara, Hugh O’Neil and Mike Dolaghan,” Mayor Dina M. Grilo said.
The celebration didn’t stop with just a fresh playing surface — local generosity took center stage.
Mike Mara, a local businessman donated T-shirts, screen prints and his time to create custom shirts for the borough’s young athletes. Mara also arranged for Kearny Thistle coaches to host skill-building clinics, ensuring the next generation of players gets the guidance they need to thrive.
Adding to the community-wide effort, Dolaghan donated T-shirts and brandnew soccer nets, ensuring the revamped field is fully equipped for action.
Hugh O’Neil, former professional soccer player, stopped by at the event to give consideration and leave the borough with his parting words of “Best of Luck with your new field!”
Guy and his team were unable to attend because of a press conference elsewhere they were holding next door in Kearny. He did however send over these words for the borough.
“As county executive, I’m proud to have recommended East Newark’s Veterans Soccer Field to receive an award through the Open Space, Recreation, & Historic Preservation Trust Fund,” Guy said. “With these funds, the residents and children of East Newark can now play on their beloved soccer field with new, safer turf. Projects like these encourage our youth to spend more time outdoors and socializing with one another - critical skill-building activities. I look forward to seeing them and residents of all ages playing on the cleaner, safer and more accessible Veterans Soccer Field.”

Lyndhurst PD: Shoplifters nabbed
Two men suspected of shoplifting in Lyndhurst are now behind bars, but it wasn’t easy to get one of them there from the outset, Lyndhurst PD Det. Capt. Vincent Auteri said.
On Monday, May 19, 2025, at around 4 p.m., officers from the Lyndhurst Police Department responded to a business, located on the 400 block of Valley Brook Avenue, on a report of a shoplifting in progress involving two suspects who fled the scene on foot toward Grant Avenue.
Upon arrival, Officer Michael D’Alessandro conducted a canvas of the area and located
a man matching the suspect description near Valley Brook and Cleveland avenues. The man, later identified as Raymond Jackson, 57, of Hackensack, was questioned at the scene and claimed to be in the area attempting to rent a car after browsing inside a local store.
A subsequent identification by store loss-prevention staff, and a review of surveillance video, confirmed Jackson’s involvement in the theft of merchandise valued at $249.90. He was placed under arrest and charged with shoplifting and

conspiracy to commit shoplifting. A search incident to arrest yielded a Saturn car key and further investigation revealed an active municipal warrant for Jackson out of South Brunswick Township. He was transported to the Bergen County Jail, Hackensack, without incident.
Approximately an hour later, Officer D’Alessandro located
a Saturn SUV registered to Jackson in a parking lot on Grant Avenue, adjacent to the store. Officer D’Alessandro was joined by Sgt. Richard Jasinski and Officer Vincent Dinicola. A man inside the vehicle, identified as James M. Davis, 49, of Brooklyn, was detained for further investigation. During that time, Davis became physically combative, resisting officers and kicking Officer D’Alessan-

dro during the struggle. Davis was ultimately subdued and placed under arrest. Officer D’Alessandro and Sgt. Jasinski sustained minor injuries during the encounter.
A search incident to arrest revealed Davis was in possession of 19 individual packages of a crystal rock substance believed to be cocaine, drug paraphernalia, mace and other miscellaneous items. A search of the vehicle revealed additional shoplifted merchandise along with a Connecticut license plate.
Davis was charged with shoplifting, resisting arrest, obstruction, possession of cocaine and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was evaluated for a minor injury and subsequently transported to Hackensack University Medical Center before being lodged in the Bergen County Jail.

The corner of 5th and Hamilton Streets in Harrison just got a whole lot brighter thanks to the supreme efforts of the Washington Middle School Art Club. Under the direction of Art Specialist Laura Comppen, students created custom artwork for the new garbage can recently installed by the Harrison Department of Public Works. “Students were inspired by the work of author & artist Eric Carle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and had a blast painting colorful papers, and designing and trimming to create bright floral arrangements encouraging town residents to utilize the can to ‘Keep Harrison Clean’ “, said Ms. Comppen, adding, “This student-based art installation really brings a vivid pop of color to our corner”. Talented WMS Art Club students include Khushal Varshney, Anna Lin, Hafsa Faisal, Daniela Alban, Emma Prah, Eduardo Gonzalez, Isabella Villanueva, Joanna Chen, Evangeline Velez, Diana Tapia, Sofia Bordon, Daniel Bontempo, Isabella Salgado and Victoria Bandeira.

OPINION & VIEWPOINTS
FROM THE DESK OF KEARNY MAYOR CAROL JEAN DOYLE
Doyle responds to Hoboken re: helicopters
The Honorable Phil Cohen Council Vice President City of Hoboken 94 Washington St. Hoboken, N.J. 07030
Re: Kearny HHI Heliport
Dear Council Vice President Cohen:
I am writing in response to your recent inquiry regarding helicopter operations at the Kearny HHI Heliport in Kearny. I understand the importance of addressing quality-of-life issues that affect our residents, and I appreciate your and the Hoboken City Council’s efforts to mitigate the noise and disruption your constituents are experiencing. Residents from Jersey City and Hoboken have contacted my office regarding their concerns about the helicopter noise, noise mitigation, flight hour limits and banning nonessential helicopter flights or requesting flight paths be altered to avoid densely populated residential communities and prioritize public safety.
The Town of Kearny has no jurisdiction over helicopter operations. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has jurisdiction and primary regulatory authority over aircraft operations, flight paths and airspace usage. While we understand the frustration this may cause, the Town of Kearny cannot shut down the heliport unless it is violating its building regulations.
Despite these limitations, I recognize
Lisa M. Feorenzo lisa@theobserver.com Co-owner/Advertising Dir.
the seriousness of this issue, particularly regarding nonessential helicopter flights and their impact on Hudson County residents. These flights often follow repetitive paths over residential areas and create unnecessary disturbances for residents throughout Hudson County.
In an effort to address these concerns collaboratively, I am working with Hudson County Executive Craig Guy, who has called for a meeting in the near future with all relevant parties. County Executive Guy has emphasized the importance of addressing the concerns raised by the constituents of Jersey City and Hoboken as a county-wide priority.
This meeting will include the heliport business operators and representatives from impacted municipalities. The purpose of this meeting will be to discuss the impacts suffered by our constituents daily and explore potential solutions within our collective authority. I believe that by bringing all stakeholders to the table, we may identify practical measures to mitigate the disruption while respecting applicable legal frameworks.
I will keep you informed about the scheduled meeting date and I welcome representation from Hoboken and Jersey City to ensure that the perspectives of all affected Hudson County communities are adequately represented in these discussions.
Thank you for your advocacy on behalf of your residents. I look forward to collaborating with you and all stakeholders and regional leaders to address this important quality-of-life issue.

Doyle, Macfie seek immediate help for Rt. 508
Dear Sirs:
I am writing to respectfully request urgent safety roadway improvements for County Route 508, also known as the Newark/Jersey City Turnpike, which runs through the Town of Kearny. Specifically, I am requesting Hudson County install centerline delineators along the doubleyellow line from mile marker 14.56 (Route 280 exit) to mile marker 15.64 (just past 969 Newark Turnpike).
As you are aware, this stretch of roadway has been the site of numerous serious and fatal motor vehicle crashes over the years. The current road configuration lacks physical separation between opposing traffic lanes and continues to pose a significant public-safety risk to both our residents and all who travel through Kearny. I am also requesting “No Left Turn” signage be installed along the roadway.
The installation of delineators would provide several immediate benefits:
n Reduced Head-On Collisions: The physical barrier would prevent vehicles from crossing the centerline into oncoming traffic, which has been a primary factor in the most severe crashes.
n Enhanced Visual Guidance: The vertical delineators would improve driver awareness of the road’s alignment, especially during poor visibility conditions.
n Immediate Implementation: Unlike

more extensive infrastructure projects, delineators can be installed quickly and at a relatively modest cost, providing immediate safety improvements and enhancements.
n Proven Effectiveness: Similar interventions on comparable roadways have demonstrated significant reductions in crash severity and frequency.
I understand Hudson County is exploring more permanent solutions, including potential road widening and permanent barrier installation. While I fully support these long-term improvements, the delineator installation would serve as a critical interim safety measure that could potentially save lives while more comprehensive solutions are being developed.
The safety of our residents and all who travel through our community remains my highest priority as Mayor. This request represents a reasonable, cost-effective approach to addressing immediate public safety and roadway concerns.
I welcome the opportunity to discuss this matter further with your team and our local officials to examine the area in question.
Thank you for your consideration of this important safety initiative. I look forward to your response and to working together to create safer roadways throughout Kearny, and all Hudson County communities.

Nikalena Iacono didn’t necessarily have visions of medals in her future when she first decided to give track & field a try for the first time the winter of her freshman year at Lyndhurst.

ASYMPTOMATIC VS SYMPTOMATIC
Asymptomatic and symptomatic describe whether or not a person exhibits symptoms of a medical condition. A symptomatic individual shows clear signs of illness, such as fever, cough, or fatigue, signaling the presence of a disease or infection. These symptoms reflect the body’s response to underlying issues and help healthcare providers diagnose and treat the condition. For example, a person with symptomatic flu may experience body aches, fever, and sore throat, leading them to seek medical attention. An asymptomatic person has the condition but does not show any visible symptoms. Despite appearing healthy, they can still carry and spread certain illnesses, such as viruses or bacterial infections. Asymptomatic cases pose a challenge because individuals may unknowingly transmit the disease to others. In the context of public health, identifying asymptomatic carriers is often challenging, leading to undetected spread of diseases. Conversely, symptomatic cases are easier to identify and isolate, thereby controlling the spread more effectively. To schedule an appointment, please call PREMIER CARE ASSOCIATES OF WEST HUDSON at 201-9987474. Visit us 7 days a week at 512 Kearny Ave., Suite B. P.S. Testing and screenings are essential, especially during outbreaks, to identify and manage both symptomatic and asymptomatic cases to prevent the spread of disease.

Hormones are chemicals produced by the body to control its activities. Hormones control sleep, hunger, mood, behavior, reproduction, and more. When kids grow quickly during puberty, their arms and legs often grow faster and longer than the rest of their bodies, and the same goes for their eyeballs. This hasty eyeball lengthening can cause blurry vision known as nearsightedness or myopia. Some teens may need temporary vision correction with glasses, since their vision can stabilize along with their hormones as they get older. Some women may experience vision changes throughout their lives, including during pregnancy, perimenopause, and with monthly cycles. Estrogen loss before and during menopause causes the cornea

From new accessible parks and playgrounds to splash pads and athletic fields, the trust fund has been a resource to ensure these community spaces are top notch and safe for all residents.”
Romano also chimed in. “On behalf of the Board of County Commissioners, I commend the legacy of the Open Space, Recreation & Historic Preservation Trust Fund. For 20 years, the county’s Open Space Trust Fund has given new life to parks and playgrounds across all 12 of our municipalities, bringing joy and recreation to thousands of residents daily. For two decades, this program has been improving the communities we proudly represent, and I look forward to supporting future Open Space projects,” Romano said.
Doyle concurred.
“Kearny is immensely proud to celebrate the 20-year anniversary of Hudson County’s Open Space Trust Fund here at the Kearny Crew House
– home to many rowers including Kearny’s boys and girls crew team.
We are all excited to see the boat house transform into a stateof-the-art facility that will help our teams take it to the next level, thanks to the Open Space Trust Fund and the State of NJ Green Acres
Program,” Doyle said.
And lastly, it was Encarnacao’s turn.
PROTECTING OPEN SPACE
“Many students of all ages utilize the parks and athletic fields the Open Space Trust Fund has provided throughout Kearny. As Superintendent of Kearny’s school district, I understand the critical
importance of recreation and open space in a child’s development. Playing in safe and upgraded playgrounds and parks enable children to learn to share and expand their imagination while learning crucial motor, creative and problem-solving skills,” Encarnacao said.
In 2003, then-Hudson County Executive Tom DeGise, with subsequent approval by the county commissioners, created the Hudson County Open Space, Recreation, & Historic Preservation Trust Fund. That same year, Hudson County voters approved the creation of the Open Space Trust Fund and the first funding cycle was awarded in October 2005.
The following local projects are the recommended 2025 awardees of the fund and are subject to a vote of the Board of County Commissioners in August.

Seniors, enjoy the sun safely!
Everyone should be aware of the risks of the sun’s UV rays, but seniors need to be especially vigilant. Older adults, particularly those with sensitive skin or on certain medications, are more susceptible to the damage that UV rays can cause. Some risks include skin cancer, premature aging, cataracts, a weakened immune system and heat-related illnesses.
Sun safety tips
Follow these sun safety tips when you’re outdoors:
• Use sunscreen. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to all exposed skin, including the face, neck, arms and legs. Reapply every two hours or

Dear Sacred Heart Of Jesus, in the past I have asked for many favours, this time I ask you this special one favour. Take it Dear Heart of Jesus and place it in your own broken heart where our Father sees it, then in his merciful eyes it will become your favour, not mine. AMEN. Say this prayer for 3 days and promise publication and favor will be granted no matter how impossible. Never known to fail.
more frequently if swimming or sweating.
• Cover up. Wear lightweight, long-sleeved shirts, wide-brimmed hats and UV-blocking sunglasses to protect the skin and eyes.
• Seek shade. Limit outdoor activities during peak sun hours, typically between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. When outdoors, seek shade under trees, umbrellas or canopies to reduce UV exposure.
• Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially in hot
weather, to prevent dehydration and heat-related illnesses. Avoid excessive alcohol and caffeine consumption, as they can contribute to dehydration.
• Check medications. Some medications, such as antibiotics and diuretics, can increase sensitivity to sunlight. Consult your local pharmacist about potential side effects and take necessary precautions when spending time outdoors.
Look for sunscreens, sunglasses and hats at your local shops and pharmacies to safely enjoy your outdoor activities!

he Town of Kearny recently recognized Dylan Sullivan for earning the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout — the highest honor awarded by the Boy Scouts of America. Through years of commitment, leadership and service, Sullivan has gone above and beyond — earning over 21 merit badges and leading a meaningful project that gave back to the community. His journey reflects the very best of Scouting values: dedication, integrity and a heart for service. Mayor Carol Jean Doyle marked the occasion with an official proclamation.
