f you want to get something done, you have to do it yourself,” Weehawken High School’s Senior Class President April Fiorese said a week before Friday’s graduation. Not only does this apply to her school life, but to her work life, her future college life, and to the lives of all 76 of the fellow seniors she’s overseen as class president for four years straight. “April is one of the hardest working young ladies we have in this building,” Principal Peter Olivieri said. “She and her fellow seniors were highly entertaining for us this year.” Entertaining and hard working, too, as 95 percent of them will go on to college, and that

95 percent has earned nearly $7 million in scholarship money. “We were truly surprised this year,” Guidance Counselor Laurie Sieminski said. “The kids got more institutional aid than they have in past years, which indicates how hard they applied themselves and how smart they were about the choices they have made.” The seniors have distinguished themselves in other ways as well, Olivieri and Assistant Principal Steven Spinosa explained. The marching band – led by Michael Lichtenfeld, Nicole Hegarty, and Michele Giorgio with 16 senior student members – placed third in the state and went to Disney World in April to march down Main Street.

Formula One champions test WNY/Weehawken track for 2013 Grand Prix

ormula One champions Sebastian Vettel and David Coulthard spun local officials and members of the press across, up, down, and around Boulevard East and Port Imperial Boulevard Monday afternoon to preview the 2013 Grand Prix of America at Port Imperial course. The two Infiniti IPLs, sandwiched by West New York police vehicles, maxed out at 95 m.p.h. with the Manhattan skyline whizzing by as locals and visitors tried to catch a glimpse. “The circuit looks very quick,” Vettel said after completing the course several times. “There are a lot of corners, a lot of fast floating corners, which you need to have big balls to drive, so it should be good fun.”

From his test-run he determined that race time speeds would max out at over 200 m.p.h. And given his apparent mastery of English colloquialisms, it was determined that the German-born Vettel would also master his appearance on the David Letterman show later that evening. Each lap culminated in a tire-squealing, smoke-covered series of figure eight spinouts performed by the Infinitis – not the police vehicles – at the stop light just before the left-hand turn that leads to Weehawken’s Port Imperial Ferry terminal. That site will also act as a pit stop, starting line, and finish line for the 3.2mile course in June of 2013. “This place is exceptional,” Vettel added. “Just as a civilian, look around:

Local libraries have long wait lists for ‘Shades of Grey’
By Vanessa Cruz Reporter Staff Writer
ne local library has ordered 16 copies of the bestselling erotic novel “Fifty Shades of Grey,� and they’re still having trouble meeting the demand. The book is the first in a trilogy whose main characters are loosely based on two characters in the bestselling “Twilight� vampire saga. In “Grey,� the main character, Anastasia Steele, is an innocent woman who is drawn to wealthy older businessman Christian Grey. Grey soon entices the young virgin into an erotic romance. Across the country, the book has been a best seller and has been called “mommy porn� by detractors who believe it mainly appeals to bored housewives. It has been banned in some libraries in Texas and Florida. In Hudson County, the Hoboken Public Library has ordered 16 copies to keep up with the demand. The North Bergen Public Library has six copies, all of which are checked out. Nine people are waiting for it to be returned, said Krista Welz, who is in charge of children’s literature at the library.
O
Weehawken has two copies and eight people waiting for it, said Holly Pizzuta, the library’s director of administration and operations. The Secaucus library has one to two copies of each book in the trilogy and is in the process of adding more. Forty people are waiting for the first book, said Library Director Jennifer May. At the main branch of the Jersey City Public Library, there are three copies checked out and four people waiting. “Our policy is that if the ratio of reserves is five or more people for the book, we buy extra copies,� Hoboken Library Director Lena Podles said last week. “We normally buy at least two copies of books we anticipate to become bestsellers. Once the book becomes very popular we buy more copies to satisfy the demand.� In response to the controversy about the book, Podles said, “I heard that some libraries that have in their policy that they do not purchase ‘erotica.’ I personally do not think the libraries should have official policies on banning specific genre. People’s definitions and opinions are different; it is up to a person to make that choice.� Secaucus Library Director Jennifer May, who considers herself an avid reader of non-fiction books and historical romance novels, said that she
found the trilogy a bit out of her comfort zone, but definitely fun and escapist. “I think that anything that catches the popular interest as much as this series has is inherently fascinating,� said May. “I don’t think that it is going to become a great classic of literature, but I do think that the books raise interesting questions about the modern American dream, pop culture, class, autonomy, control, greed, love ‘normal’ relationships, and of course, sex.�
“I’ve had mostly a mix of curiosity and positive feedback.â€? – Jennifer May In one aspect that has troubled readers, Christian asks “Anaâ€? to sign a contract stipulating when she eats, how much she eats, when she exercises, what she wears, and other aspects of her life.â€? May was bothered by the term “mommy porn.â€? “I really hate that term,â€? said May. “It makes the books sound cutesy and safe and sweet—and they aren’t. And it makes the readers sound equally quaint and unsophisticated. And we aren’t.â€? Podles said, “Books are sometimes labeled. Some of the books considered classics now had been ranked ‘inappropriate’ at their time‌ I am not in favor of labeling.â€? Sonia Araujo, the assistant library director in Jersey City, said she read all three books “to see what the fuss was about.â€? She said that there is

May said that she is happy that people are talking about a book. “I love it,� said May. “I love that there is such a wide swath of the population, largely women, talking about a single series of books, and discussing it’s themes as well as the thoughts and actions of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele. When I talk to people in town, or look at my Facebook page, and see 20 or 30 friends exclaiming about Christian and Ana, it reminds me of the way people responded to novels in the 19th century, before radio and television. They are so involved in the story, and I think that is awesome.� May hopes that people may want to read the Twilight series, which is the inspiration for ‘Fifty Shades.’
Feedback
Podles said that she has heard some feedback about the book. “It varies,� she said. “We heard that it is ‘poorly written’ and they can’t even finish it, and others go right back to order the sequence.�

North Hudson Regional Fire and Rescue denied hiring policy appeal by Supreme Court
he U.S. Supreme Court turned down an appeal on Monday by North Hudson Regional Fire and Rescue (NHRFR), who wanted to keep their requirement that prospective firefighters live in one of five Hudson County towns, according to NorthJersey.com. The Third Circuit Court of Appeals had ruled in favor of the Newark branch of the NAACP in December. The NAACP brought a successful lawsuit in 2007, challenging the NHRFR’s hiring practices. An appeals court ruled that the NHRFR’s hiring policy discriminated against AfricanAmericans because it only allowed residents of local towns to apply, and local towns are

The new appeal was the latest move in a longstanding dispute over whether the regional department – which formed by merging five local towns’ fire departments in 1999 – should allow applicants from outside towns. The NHRFR covers West New York, Union City, Weehawken, North Bergen, and Guttenberg. Those towns are approximately 70 percent Latino and only 3.4 percent African-American, according to the 2000 Census. The case will now return to trial court.

CHAMPION EVALUATION – Formula One champion Sebastian Vettel, who test-drove the future Grand Prix of America course in Weehawken and West New York in an Infiniti PLI, deemed it one of the best courses he’s ever seen.
FORMULA ONE
from cover
there is just no comparison in the world. Monaco is very special for us. It has a lot of history, but I think this race is going to be very, very great and soon will be one of the races every driver wants to win, no doubt.”
The race must go on
Construction of the Formula One facilities outside of the terminal are well under way for the three-day race. The course, which utilizes existing local roads in both Weehawken and West New York, is set to be completed on time, contrary to recent rumors. The largest adjustment to the roads, race promoter Leo Hindery mentioned, is to remove the four existing speed bumps and to widen certain areas. Hindery said the formal announcement of the exact timing of the race will be made no later than the first week of July, and he denied any and all rumors that there would be delays or cancellations. “Our dream that began last year is halfway to reality,” he said in an interview before the press conference. “The track’s varied elevation and its twists and turns not only make the course a great one from a driver’s point of view, but it makes it exciting so that the fans enjoy it just as much.”
TEST DRIVE IN STYLE — While Formula One champions Sebastian Vettel and David Coulthard didn’t drive actual race cars, they took Infiniti IPLs up to 95 m.p.h. around the 3.2-mile race track destined to host the 2013 Grand Prix of America. Here the cars veer right toward the Hudson down Anthony M. Defino Way where Formula One cars will hit maximum speeds of over 200 m.p.h.
The local perspective
Vettel’s Formula One car sat on the press stage before the skyline. Hindery, once a racer himself, took Weehawken Mayor Richard Turner and West New York Mayor Felix Roque on a tour of the car’s special features. Each car is designed to stop and accelerate quickly with a lot of down force meant to keep the car gripped to this particularly multi-faceted course. “For once New York will be looking at us,” Turner said beneath the shade of the press tent. “There is no doubt that we can handle this. We deal with the Lincoln Tunnel every day. The level of enthusiasm around town is amazing for this event.” The race is expected to generate millions in revenue for the surrounding communities, drawing around 100,000 fans to the area. Neither local nor state government will subsidize the event’s expenses in any way. “This is an economic blessing to our town,” Roque stated. “I personally can’t wait to see the look on our children’s faces when the cars go speeding by.”

GRADUATION
from cover
The football team led by Athletic Director Zachary Naszimento scored five wins for the school for the first time in 15 years, and the prom was, as Spinosa said, the best they’ve had in years. “It was like a New York City fashion show,” Olivieri added. One of Fiorese’s main jobs as class president was to spearhead the fundraising efforts for the prom. “It’s a good feeling to know you’ve made a difference,” she said. She will attend Stevens Institute of Technology as a quantitative finance major next year.
Top of the class
Valedictorian Nicole Bautista and Salutatorian Hank Finnin were literally tenths of a percentage apart in grade point average. Their Advanced Placement coursework read like a college preparatory catalog, and as if that weren’t enough of a full schedule, both took on sizeable amounts of extra curricular activities in addition to hours upon hours of homework. “There were times when I hated it and times when I loved it,” Finnin, who also happens to
be the award-winning marching band’s drum major with a 4.1 GPA, said of his senior year. “When you have Stats homework and Calculus homework and English essays that keep you up until 2 a.m., love isn’t really the most appropriate word I think.” But Finnin’s not-always-beloved efforts paid off. He is set to attend Drexell University in the fall with his sights set on a major “related to engineering, but I’m not sure,” he said. “I’m a bit the opposite of Nicole, who knows exactly what she wants. I know that I love math and science.” Bautista, who came to the states from the Dominican Republic at 10 years old, was inspired in part by the natural beauty of her birth country to pursue a career in environmental science, which she will major in as the very first Weehawken graduate to attend Duke University. “I felt like it was my calling,” she said. “I’ve always cared very much about the environment, and the summer course I took at N.Y.U. convinced me it was what I wanted to do.” Bautista managed to maintain a 4.3 GPA while doing environment-related community service (inspired by Peer Leadership Coordinator Laura Sciortino) and participating

in the Young Science Achievers program, the school newspaper, the National Honors Society, and choir. “All of my teachers have been super supportive,” Bautista said, and highlighted Sciortino’s influence on her involvement with community service. “I know most people do it because it looks good on a transcript, but for me it’s something I truly enjoy.”
Onward and upward
While all three seniors have earned themselves bright futures and expressed excitement for what their lives have in store, they all shared the sentiment that they will miss the small, familial community of Weehawken High School. As for Duke, “It’s intimidating, I won’t lie,” Bautista explained. “I know it’s going to be a lot of work, but it’s expected, and I’m going to try my best like I always have.” Finnin looks forward to the co-op program at Drexell, which is a series of six-month paid internships that are integrated into the school’s curriculum (which is a growing trend with colleges these days). “I’m slightly anxious just because it’s going
to be completely different, and I don’t know what to expect,” he said. “But other than that I’m excited to get out and do it.” Fiorese is used to certain aspects of the ‘real world’ since she’s been working and tutoring and babysitting throughout her high school career; however, “I will definitely miss the community aspect,” she said. “It’s like a family because it’s so small, and even though Steven’s is a smaller school, it won’t be the same.” “We’re sad to see them go,” Spinosa concluded, “But we’re very proud of them.”

Live sharks, racing pigs, and gator on a stick State Fair Meadowlands returns June 22
By Adriana Rambay Fernández
Reporter staff writer
tate Fair Meadowlands returns on June 22 with 17 days of rides, games, kid-friendly activities, shows, and food. This year’s fair, located next to the Met Life Stadium on Route 3 in East Rutherford, features new attractions such as a Live Shark Encounter and new foods like alligator on a stick and fried peanut butter and jelly. The fair will boast more than 150 rides and attractions on over 35 acres of fairgrounds.
S
Appealing across generations
“Everyone goes to the fair,” said Michele Tartaglione, managing director. She has produced the fair since 2003. She said that the fair appeals to families, teenagers, seniors, and has recently appealed to individuals in their twenties – an unusual trend for the fair. “When I was 20 you didn’t go to a fair and you didn’t dress up for Halloween, but now young people are doing the things [they did] when they were young,” she said. Tartaglione expects 400,000 people to attend
this year if there is good weather, based on admission numbers from previous years. Visitors can return to see the popular racing pigs, undergo hypnosis by master hypnotist Steve Bayner, or experience new attractions such as the Live Shark Encounter, an educational water show that has live sharks. “Every year we try to bring in something new,” said Tartaglione. The fair attempts to appeal to all tastes and will even have a vendor who serves alligator on a stick. “I think people are interested in different types of foods,” said Tartaglione. As someone who has eaten snake, bear, and elk, Tartaglione acknowledged that alligator may not appeal to all. “The picky eater may be afraid to try it,” she said. But even for picky eaters, the event serves up standard fair food such as curly fries, chicken fingers, pizza, cotton candy, fruit smoothies, and ice cream, among other items.
Kid-friendly attractions
The state fair has a designated “Kiddieland” amusement area and plays host to over 25 kidfriendly rides that include the Rockin’ Tug, the Caterpillar Coaster, and the traditional merry-goround.

world outdoor treasure hunt. Containers will be placed throughout the fair, filled with prizes, and fair goers will be able to use their GPS-enabled devices to participate and interact with others. Another attraction that is popular with children is Circus Maximus, a tent circus with acrobats and animal shows. Shows are free with fair admission. Dora the Explorer will be at the fair June 30 through July 1 to meet and greet visitors.
Attraction highlights
SNAKE CHARMER – State Fair Meadowlands returns June 22 with standard carnival attractions and rides as well as new shows and activities.
Some of the highlights this year are: The Live Shark Encounter – An educational show about one of nature’s most fascinating creatures. Visitors can watch as the shark trainer dives in to the tank. Chester’s Gators and Tators – Often called swamp food; visitors can eat alligator on a stick. Hall of Wonders and the Palace of Illusion – A world-famous troupe of sword swallowers, contortionists and fire swallowers is back after a three-year hiatus. Racing Pigs – The longest running show at the fair. Circus Maximus – A contemporary tent circus with trapeze acts, animal shows, and acrobats. Fireworks: July 3 and July 4. The Big Cat Show – Lions and tigers from a big cat sanctuary in Florida. Educational Petting Zoo – Goats, sheep, camel, llama, donkeys, mini horses, ringtail
For children who enjoy “Geocaching,” an outdoor activity that requires the use of a GPS to find certain treasures, the fair will have its own real-

It’s an emotional roller coaster he rides every day, knowing that many of the children that he helps to grant wishes for don’t have a lot of time on this earth. “Over time, I’ve surely come to handle it much better,” Weatherall said. “The reality is that Make-A-Wish is a very powerful and emotional mission. There’s no getting around the fact that we lose some of our Wish Kids. We’re not fooling ourselves. We get to meet some of the most courageous children and their heroic families. We do our best to bring them some love, but sure, it’s emotional all around.” Weatherall said that one of the best organizations to deal with is the Super Bowl Champion New York Giants. “They have set the bar as high as any professional sports team in any league,” Weatherall said. “It starts with the ownership. The Maras and the Tisches have been extremely supportive. Coach Tom Coughlin has been a champion of our mission since the day he arrived. The Giants have embraced our mission wholeheartedly and we’re very grateful for that.” Last week, Make-A-Wish New Jersey had a special event involving the New York Giants. The Giants’ rookie class was invited to meet and greet with some 20 Wish Kids at the new castle. Every Giant newcomer, from first-round draft pick David Wilson on down, was asked to participate in the special day. “I think we were supposed to be there for an hour and it ended up being four hours,” said defensive tackle Markus Kuhn, the team’s seventh-round draft pick out of North Carolina State. “The time just flew by. It was an unbelievable experience. I think it puts everything in perspective. It’s unbelievable what these kids have to go through. It was also great to see what they built. It was really amazing.” “It meant a lot to me,” said offensive tackle Matt McCants, the team’s sixth-round draft pick from Alabama-Birmingham. “They go through so much in their lives. We hoped that we could give them some relief. It was the best day I’ve had in a while. They always have to think about the things they’re going through. We gave them a new approach, to take their minds off it a little. Maybe we put a smile or two on some faces. I was happy to do it. It brightened my day a little.” McCants said that he was proud to be part of the Giants’ community service efforts. “It shows the community that we really care,” McCants said. “The Giants brought us in to be part of the Giants family and this is our way that we’re proud to be part of it. And it was
of Fame at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark. The legendary St. Anthony basketball coach was inducted along with such historic people as late cowgirl legend Annie Oakley, Oscar-winning actor Michael Douglas, late actor Christopher Reeve, late New York Giants owner Wellington Mara, late jazz singer Sarah Vaughn, author Joyce Carol Oates, and two-time Olympic decathlon winner Milt Campbell. This was an award that was not just for sports people. This obviously included every spectrum of life, so this was a totally different honor for Hurley. “This was outside of the family business,” Hurley said. “Somehow I fit into the accomplishments of all these amazing people. I mean, it took three years for them to induct Woodrow Wilson and I got in with the fifth year. Can you figure that out? Sarah Vaughn and my name don’t exactly roll off the tongue together. I don’t have much in common with Michael Douglas. I really don’t have much of a connection with him, other than I’ve seen most of his movies.” But Hurley was moved by the induction.

great that we did this together as a rookie class. We’ve done everything together for a month. This only helps to build relationships.” Joe Martinek is a rookie free agent running back from Rutgers. He’s a New Jersey boy, born and raised in Hopatcong in Sussex County. “Going there and seeing their faces light up and get so happy that we’re there puts everything in its proper perspective,” Martinek said. “It’s always fun to give back to the community. It also reminds me what I’ve been blessed with. To go to a place like that and be with the kids was just a great opportunity and I loved being there.” Little Luis Monge also loved being there. He spent a lot of time with Kuhn and became fascinated with Kuhn’s long flowing hair. Monge also took a liking to fourth-round draft pick Brandon Mosley, an offensive tackle from Auburn. Luis just must like big guys. “I picked him up and carried him around,” Kuhn said. “I was like a big playground for him. He really enjoyed us being there and yes, he did like my hair. No one does a better job than the Giants when it comes to community service. I think this was a good way to show the rookies the right way and see what the Giants are all about. We have to continue what the Giants have been doing for a long time. It was a great day. It saddens you a little, knowing that these kids have so much trouble. But if we brought them just a little joy, then it was well worth it.” It’s was obvious that Luis Monge, Jr. had a great time. “My son, Thomas, who is 19, is a huge Giants fan,” Penny Carroll said. “I actually just wanted to see the castle. But the Giants’ players were fantastic. They went out of their way to be nice to the kids. Luis loved Markus and took right to him. I don’t know why he took to him right away. But it feels fantastic to be part of this. It was a great experience for all of us.” And a great experience for one Jersey City guy, who runs the show, getting to help another Jersey City kid in dire need. “We’re there for every child in the state of New Jersey, but of course, when we’re able to help someone from my hometown of Jersey City, it’s rewarding,” Weatherall said. “Seeing the fulfillment of a wish being granted is so exciting for me. I knew that it was going to be a special day, for the kids, for the Giants. The veteran players know our mission. Now, it’s been passed on to the rookies as well. It was a very moving day.” Jim Hague can be reached via e-mail at OGSMAR@aol.com. You can also read Jim’s blog at www.jimhaguesports.blogspot.com.
“It’s wonderful that a high school basketball coach in the state of New Jersey could somehow get figured into that mix,” Hurley said. Hurley was presented by former Seton Hall head coach and current Brooklyn Nets assistant coach P.J. Carlesimo, currently a Jersey City resident like Hurley. Carlesimo told the audience at the NJPAC that Hurley “has never left the state of New Jersey. He was born here, raised here and chose to stay here. I don’t know if any other member of the New Jersey Hall of Fame has meant more to New Jersey than Bob Hurley.” “I like living here,” Hurley said. “And I defend New Jersey as much as I can.” Hurley was happy to see many of his former players in attendance, guys who played for him ages ago like John Rochford, Jarrett King, Darren Rice and a guard named David Rivers, who went from St. Anthony to Notre Dame to becoming the first former Friar to play in the NBA. Rivers, who had a two-decade professional career playing in Europe, made sure he was in attendance to honor his former coach. “It’s the ultimate honor for him and I wouldn’t have missed this for the world,” said Rivers, who still has homes in Italy and Orlando. “I’m happy to see him, but I’m also happy to see some old familiar faces, some of my old teammates.” Rivers, a two-time All-American at Notre Dame, now does basketball consulting with his firm, VillageCamps.com. “We do everything from language arts and performing arts,” Rivers said. “It’s not just sports, but we do every sport you can think of. We’re working with kids all around the world.”

SPORTS SECTION ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
Marist’s Rodriguez delivers in the clutch in state title victory im Rodriguez had high hopes that this would be a special season for the Marist High School baseball team. After all, Rodriguez had paid his dues for three years, watching the Royal Knights continue to improve during that time. As a senior shortstop, Rodriguez believed that he would save his best for last. “I definitely had hopes, but I didn’t want to have any expectations,” Rodriguez said. “We had some good years, but if we came in this year and expected things were just going to happen, then it wouldn’t happen. I hoped we would do well and I hoped to be a part of it.” However, after the first two games of the season, Rodriguez found himself in an unfamiliar situation. He was on the bench. “We had a lot of kids who were competing for playing time,” Marist head coach Ron Hayward said. “I was playing who I felt deserved to play that day.” Needless to say, Rodriguez was upset. “It was really frustrating, because I felt I couldn’t do much for the team while on the bench,” Rodriguez said. “I had no pull in contributing. I was very frustrated. I didn’t have a lot of people who understood, but my teammates were there for me.” Rodriguez stayed with the game, despite his frustrations. “I knew that I had to show Coach Hayward that I deserved to play,” Rodriguez said. “I wanted him to know that he could trust me to get the job done if he gave me the chance to play. That was my main focus.” Hayward was impressed with his senior’s determination. “He could have walked away, but he turned out to be the biggest cheerleader,” Hayward said. “I challenged him a lot over the years, but this was
T
the biggest challenge.” Midway through the season, Hayward gave Rodriguez a chance to play, but this time, it was in right field. “It was actually weird at first,” Rodriguez said. “I’m really not a fan of the outfield. I felt uncomfortable out there. But since there was no pressure on me in right field, I sort of felt at home. That’s why it was weird. It’s weird how the game of baseball works.” Rodriguez eventually found a home for the Royal Knights in right field. He played there through the great run in capturing the Ed Ford Memorial Hudson County Baseball Tournament and remained in right as the NJSIAA Non-Public B state playoffs began. It was Rodriguez who gained the game-winning RBI against Sacred Heart of Vineland to capture the Non-Public B South sectional championship, by getting hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh inning, giving the Royal Knights a 2-1 win and the school’s first state sectional championship since 1993. As the Royal Knights faced Newark Academy for the overall Non-Public B state title last week in Toms River, they fell behind a few times, trailing 7-3 in the fifth inning and then 10-7 heading into the bottom of the seventh. Rodriguez felt awful about his play in right field in the top of the seventh, when Newark Academy scored three runs to take the 10-7 lead. “To be honest, I was really frustrated with myself,” Rodriguez said. “I made a throwing error in the inning that was way off target and led to two runs scoring. I really thought that I cost the team the game.” But the Royal Knights had come from behind several times during the season. They came from a five-run deficit to defeat St. Peter’s Prep in the
Marist senior outfielder Tim Rodriguez county tournament title game. They came from behind twice in the state playoffs. “I told myself that we should just go,” Hayward said. “If we lose, then we should lose going hard. And if we do come back, it would be the greatest story of all. Some of the kids were down, but I still knew something could happen.” Rodriguez just wanted redemption. “I came back to the dugout and as soon as I walked into the dugout, my teammates were there, encouraging me,” Rodriguez said. “The underclassmen were actually telling me to keep my head up. They made me realize that we still had a shot to win.” It might have taken a minor miracle, needing three runs to tie and four runs to win in the bottom of the last inning. But the Royal Knights believed and Rodriguez wanted the chance to deliver. “It crossed my mind that every time it came down to the wire, a senior always found a way to get the job done,” Rodriguez said. “After what happened in the top of the seventh, I just wanted my chance.” The Royal Knights strung together a few hits and scored two runs to get to within a run at 109. The tying run scored on a balk, of all things. “We scored three runs,” Hayward said. “I was-

TO THE MOON AND BACK – Jersey City basketball legends David Rivers (left) and Jerry Walker (right) flank famed astronaut Buzz Aldrin at the New Jersey Hall of Fame induction ceremonies last Saturday honoring St. Anthony basketball coach Bob Hurley.
TIDBITS from previous page Rivers said that growing up in Jersey City and playing basketball was “like a sanctuary.” “We were all safe and taken care of,” Rivers said. “I have nothing but great memories, with Coach Hurley right in the center of those.” Former Friar standout Jerry Walker, who had a great career at Seton Hall, was also on hand. “This is a tremendous honor for Coach Hurley,” Walker said. “You see some of the names on this list and then you see Coach Hurley with them, well, that’s amazing. Coach Hurley meant so much to me growing up, as a coach, as a father figure. I had my success because he was such a demanding man on me. This is a wonderful experience.” Walker’s experience improved immensely when he was able to meet famed astronaut Buzz Aldrin, a 2007 New Jersey Hall of Fame inductee. “I had to meet him and shake his hand,” Walker said. “I mean, that guy’s been on the moon. I don’t know if I’ll ever get there.” Needless to say it was a memorable evening for all who attended, including the latest inductee from Jersey City. “I’ve gone to the event the last two years, but this was special,” Hurley said. “It’s safe to say we’re done with Hall of Fame inductions. I can plan things to do with my free time now because I don’t think there are any more left.”… Speaking of St. Anthony, the school announced that former Hoboken basketball and baseball coach Buddy Matthews has been named as the new athletic director, replacing Sean Fallon, who remains on as the football coach.
n’t worried about getting the last one.” Up stepped the most unlikely hero. With two strikes, Rodriguez lofted a soft liner to right-center field, right over the reach of the second baseman. Jordan Diaz raced home with the gamewinning run. Marist had the improbable 11-10 victory, winning its first overall state title since 1991. And Rodriguez, the kid who was benched earlier in the season, turned out to be the one to knock in the game-winning run in both of the last two games of the season. For his efforts, Rodriguez has been selected as The Hudson Reporter Athlete of the Week for the last week. Rodriguez is also the final honoree for the 2011-2012 scholastic sports season. The Hudson Reporter Male and Female Athletes of the Year will be presented in the coming weeks. Hayward still cannot fathom the idea that his team won both the county and state titles in what truly was a dream season. “It was crazy and it’s still crazy,” said Hayward, who is an alumnus of Marist and was just named as the school’s athletic director as well. “I really felt like I was dreaming, like it didn’t happen. I think it shows the kind of kids we have, that these kids never gave up. They know how to survive.” And as for the unlikely hero? “It’s the reason why I love the game of baseball,” Hayward said. “Here’s a guy who was doing nothing driving in the two biggest runs of the season. He’s not a star. He’s just a kid who kept his head and played hard. I love the way he kept it up and stayed with it. It’s a great story.” Rodriguez knows that he will hold a special place in Marist folklore. He’s the one who delivered the state title, much like former Major League Baseball star Joe Borowski did at Marist in 1989. Rodriguez is in the same class. “It feels real good,” Rodriguez said. “As much as I was the one who got the last hit, it was a team effort. We all did it. My teammates were the ones who made sure I kept my head up. I’ll never forget that.” Rodriguez is headed to Iona College in the fall. He hopes to walk on to the baseball team there. If he doesn’t make it at Iona, he will always have his final hit to hold on to, a hit to last a lifetime. – Jim Hague
Matthews, who coached the St. Anthony girls’ basketball team last year, retired last year from the Hoboken school district. It means that St. Anthony has a Hoboken flavor to it, with principal Charlie Tortorella and Matthews…. Hoboken lost a true legend when Joseph Feinstein, the ace pitcher for the 1945
Demarest High School team that captured the school’s first-ever county baseball championship, passed away last week. Feinstein was featured in a reunion piece here in the Hudson Reporter a few years ago on the 60th anniversary of that great championship season… Sartonk Designs, headed by Weehawken’s Edward Majian, has earned a recent reputation for creating championship boxing belts for many of the organizations. Sartonk Designs recently made a new belt to help historic Gleason’s Gym celebrate their 75th anniversary…

me make this kid okay, because she’s my life, I mean it.’ “ Victoria did in fact end up okay, and is set to graduate high school and move on to college to become a nurse this coming year.
Why Wakile did it
“Some good things really do come from reality T.V.,” Kathy Wakile said. “We’re real people living our real lives, and I’m so proud, and so honored, and really humbled that our story touched someone and that now our voices can be leant to raise awareness to finding a cure for brain tumors.” At first, Wakile was hesitant to share her daughter’s story with the public since it was an event that was so deeply emotional and traumatic for the family, she said. She was afraid of any possible negative affect the reveal might have on Victoria. But once she realized the good that could come of it, she made the decision to go for it. “That day, when we were given that lottery ticket of health, we were committed to giving back,” she said of the day Victoria was deemed healthy again. “[Victoria] has this inner

She has a different outlook on life now, and she wants to be that person that helped her through.” “That kid was a trooper,” Pierri said of Victoria. “The whole time she was in the hospital her spirits were so alive. She’s had a smile on her face since she was a baby. She’s a joy to be around.”
Pierri went on to say that Wakile was hesitant at first to participate in the show. She said her sister spent months going back and forth, and almost said no, but Pierri and her family pushed her. “I told her, ‘Are you kidding me, Kath? This is your time to show the world that there’s great people out there,’” Pierri added. “We can hopefully inspire others to be better people, which is what led me to do certain things.”

One “certain thing” occurred two weeks ago when, amidst the heated national debate surrounding gay marriage legislation, Pierri came out on the show to Wakile’s children. The episode was received much in the same way the issue it addressed has been: viewers either loved or hated it. “I didn’t even realize the timing of it,” Pierri said. “I’m kind of low key. I’m never out marching in parades or at clubs. I just have my own circle of friends and family and that’s it. Nobody ever questioned me.” Until, of course, she became a star on a reality television show. Then, she said, it became an issue of getting to her niece and nephew before not-so-understanding strangers did. “People were gonna see me on television and they were gonna call me out,” she explained. “It’s not exactly rocket science.” So she and Kathy discussed the matter with their family and then made the decision to speak with Joseph and Victoria on camera. “My kids saw Rosie and they saw love. That’s it,” Wakile said. “If my sister’s story helps one teenager feel secure and feel loved and feel that they can go and speak to their family, it’s all worth it. I’ll take the knocks, no problem.” With all the news stories of homosexualityrelated teenage suicide and drug and alcohol problems, Pierri was even more convinced she had made the right decision, she said. “Reality TV has its ups and downs,” Wakile admitted, “but when you’re real and you share what’s really in your heart and what’s happening in your life, you can’t help but own it and do something good with it.”

Dreams diminished
Dear Editor:
Dear Editor: I can not agree with the court system denying North Hudson Regional Fire & Rescue’s appeal of residency for applicants. North Hudson residents’ taxes pay for the fire coverage they receive. Why are we relegated to hiring from residents outside our community? Growing up, many of us dreamt of becoming local public servants as either policemen or firemen. Now that dream of becoming a firefighter for local residents is significantly diminished because North Hudson Regional Fire & Rescue can not have a residency preference hiring list. This is contrary to the many other large or larger municipal fire departments in this state, which currently practice hiring from resident preference lists. I know public servants do not have to remain residents after they are hired, but shouldn’t we have the option to hire locals first? Are residency preference lists a tool of the past for township’s who would prefer to hire from within their borders?

This writer had the distinct honor and pleasure of meeting Robert H. Slade in 1968 upon my commencement as a county employee. Robert and I immediately became friends and this treasured friendship lasted over the decades. Robert H. Slade was born in the Margaret Hague Hospital on May 22, 1928. At a very young age Robert found it necessary to leave high school and help support his family as his father passed. Robert then entered the service of his country and served with honor in both World War II and the Korean Conflict. He then was employed by the railroad as a waiter in the club car of the train that traveled to Monmouth Race Track, where he met then Mayor and Democratic Leader John V. Kenny. Mayor Kenny saw a quality in this young man and through his encouragement Robert was elected in 1971 as the first African American Freeholder in Hudson County. Bob held many other government posts with distinction which included the Jersey City Park Police (which was abolished in 1965), Housing Authority, first African American Deputy Register, mayor’s aide, field representative in the New Jersey Housing and finance Corporation, Assistant Administrator Hudson County Meadowview Hospital and Labor Relations experienced it. Dr. K’s Motown Revue has played marquee venues like B.B. Kings, the Jones Beach Theater, and Mohegan Sun. The local band Finish This will open for Dr. K’s Motown Revue at 6 p.m. For more information, call (201) 716-4540, or visit www.hrpac.org.

Between the lines Smith salvages HCDO chair “Hudson County will lead the way in reelecting President Obama, Senator Bob Menendez, reelecting Congress Albio Sires and Bill Pascrell, and electing Donald Payne Jr.,” said Bayonne Mayor Mark Smith after being reelected as chairman of the Hudson County Democratic Organization (the longstanding Democratic group in Hudson County) on June 12. “Our candidates will be the front-line of defense against the Tea Party Republicans.” Although rumored to be on his way out, Smith was unanimously reappointed as the Hudson County Democratic chairman despite divisions among Democrats. Smith, who has been HCDO chairman for the last two years, was reportedly a compromise candidate between a still-divided local Democratic party, in which State Sen. and North Bergen Mayor Nicholas Sacco was rumored to be supporting Assemblyman Vincent Prieto for the slot. To many people’s surprise, state Sen. and Union City Mayor Brian Stack, who has not been at a HCDO reorganization meeting since 2006, made an appearance in support of Smith, promising interesting things for the future, including HCDO support for Stack’s reelection next year. Stack was not alone. Most of the mayors, who make the real decisions that determine the leadership position, backed Smith. But it was quite a show. The vote took place at Henry Harris School in Bayonne, mostly because

elementary school graduations had denied the HCDO venues elsewhere in the county. Stack shipped in two busloads of committee people, as did Sacco. County Executive Tom DeGise served as interim chair in order to oversee the nominations. Jersey City Freeholder Jeff Dublin nominated Smith in a meeting that took less than 15 minutes from beginning to end. “A lot of people talked about Prieto before the vote,” one committee person said. “But he was never nominated.” “Hudson County will send a clear message to Washington starting tomorrow: our families are willing to work – they need jobs and an economy that is moving in the right direction; our families deserve access to quality health care,” Smith said in a statement after the vote, throwing down a gauntlet against the GOP challengers. “Our children are entitled to an education that will enable them to go as far as their hard work will allow, and we will not stand by while ultraconservative Republicans try to turn back the clock on the women of our state and country.” Smith, the mayor of Bayonne, thanked Hudson County Committee members and Democratic leaders throughout the county for their continuing support as he was reelected to his third term as county Democratic chairman. “I’m heartened by the confidence they’ve shown in me and I’m rolling up my sleeves to do the work that’s needed to continue rebuilding our party and win this year,” Smith said.

Robert Slade was proud that he obtained his GED as, due to family obligations had to withdraw from high school studies and went on to obtain his B.A. degree in sociology and M.S. degree in Health Care Administration. Robert was always concerned about his fellow men and woman and he was responsible over the year in assisting many young people in obtaining employment in the government and private sectors. He was a true role model and trail blazer for the African American youth and all peoples. May our dear friend, the Honorable Robert H. Slade rest in peace. Respectfully, Robert B. Knapp

County Clerk Barbara Netcher t is running unopposed. Weehawken Mayor Richar d Turner was among those who attended the meeting, as did Hoboken Democratic Chairman Jamie Cryan. A surprise to some perhaps was the presence of former West New York Mayor Sal Vega, who lost to Dr. Felix Roque two years ago. Vega’s infrastructure remains intact (see Gennarose Pope’s story on this subject in the West New York Reporter this Sunday, on-line in the West New York section of www.hudsonreporter.com). Vega may think he can make a comeback. Smith’s leadership came under fire because of losses of HCDO-backed candidates in two Jersey City school board elections, as well as the most recent decision to support state Senator Nia Gill in the recent primary to run for the seat vacated by the death of Rep. Donald Payne Sr. U.S. Sen. Rober t Menendez, as well as numerous North Hudson political people, supported Payne’s son, Donald Payne, J r. who eventually won the Democratic nomination on June 6. Some actually began to question the strength of the HCDO, claiming it was broke and ineffective. But the recent move to keep control of the West New York Democratic Committee won some accolades for Smith and dispelled some of the rumors of weakness. Roque made a move to take control of both the Democratic and Republican committees by backing certain candidates during the June 6 primaries, and failed to win either. In his bid for Democratic Committee, his ticket managed to collect on 14 of the 68 seats, while those loyal to the HCDO won about 44. At the reorganization meeting on June 11, only 11 of Roque’s committee people showed up, and in a secret ballot, one of these people apparently voted with the HCDO – which is bound to have Roque looking over his shoulder to determine

which one of his loyal following is a traitor. This type of politics is apparently what led Roque to his current legal troubles, in which he and his son sought to root out political enemies by allegedly hacking into a recall Roque website.
Random notes
Some Hoboken Democrats said they disagreed with Democratic Chairman Cryan’s assessment of the redistricting done in Hoboken’s 4th Ward, saying that Democratic input was not considered. Cryan said last week that redistricting had a negative impact in some areas that tended to vote against the administration of Mayor Dawn Zimmer. But others associated with Cryan said all views were taken into consideration. “If Jamie can’t find his polling place, I’ll walk him to it,” one official said. Meanwhile in Jersey City, Assemblyman Sean Connors held a fundraiser at Rita and Joe’s, making people wonder if maybe he will actually run for mayor of Jersey City. Two days later, Jersey City Councilman Steven Fulop, who has already said he is running for mayor, held a fundraiser at Jersey City’s Zeppelin Hall Biergarten “While the election is still a year away, it takes significant resources to fight an entrenched political machine,” Fulop’s invitation read. “The establishment in Jersey City does not want to go easily or quietly.”
