Close encounters of the insect kind Visitors to the Meadowlands cozy up to area wildlife

First African-American woman on a Secaucus board Mayor trying for more diversity in local agencies By Adriana Rambay Fernández Reporter staff writer

he mayor and Town Council plan to nominate Rachel AndreTomlinson, a freelance media professional, to the Secaucus Housing Authority (SHA) at the Sept. 25 council meeting, to fill a seat left vacant after George Broemmer’s recent resignation. If appointed, Andre-Tomlinson, 26, will be the youngest commissioner on the seven-member board, currently comprised of four men and two women. She would also become the first AfricanAmerican woman to serve on any municipal board in the town’s history, according to Town Clerk Mike Marra. She could also quite possibly be the first African-American to serve on any board in the town’s history, according to the former Mayor Paul Amico.

New resident voices

By Adriana Rambay Fernández Reporter staff writer

n a recent visit to the Meadowlands, nature lovers Elaine and James M. Raine from Clifton discovered a praying mantis, milkweed bugs, a groundhog, and a number of butterflies. The couple often walks through Secaucus and the surrounding Meadowlands, which they discovered several years ago as outdoor enthusiasts. “Many of our friends are enthusiasts of the Meadowlands region, for it offers a great deal of fascinating wildlife to observe,” said James (Mickey) Raine in an email. “From the tiniest insects to the large impressive herons and raptors, to the abundance of plants.” The Meadowlands area, which was once comprised of pig farms and swamps, became a dumping ground in the 1960s, leading to pollution and environmental degradation. Through regulation and conservation efforts led by activist groups and

Growing appreciation Seniors beautify rooftop at towers By Adriana Rambay Fernández Reporter Staff Writer

ecaucus has three senior citizen buildings, each with its own personality shaped by the residents. The seniors take their time to make their apartment units feel like home, and for some, the effort extends into the hallways and shared community rooms, especially during the holidays like Halloween and Christmas. For Rocco Impreveduto Towers resident Paulette Spellmeyer, 65, sprucing up her surroundings is an extension of her own craftiness and creativity. Her apartment has zebra stripes in the kitchen and a leopard pattern on a rug in her living room. When she moved in more than three years ago, she also came across a bare and neglected rooftop.

The SHA manages and operates three senior housing complexes that total 275 units, which are subsidized under the federal Public Housing Program. SHA also manages the Housing Choice Voucher program. Commissioners typically serve a fiveyear term. Among the current commissioners, Michael Schlemm and Nicholas Costantino were both appointed within the past two years while Frances Jodice

Grecco was appointed to the board in August. The biggest priorities for a Housing Authority commissioner involve passing the budget, which is $4 million, and monitoring the financial status of the authority throughout the course of the year, according to Marra. The commissioners also evaluate the work of the executive director and consider policy changes. “I would love to hear what the senior citizens want [and] what is important to them,” said Andre-Tomlinson. “Then coming back and meet with our team and see how we can deliver.” Andre-Tomlinson, who grew up in Jersey City, moved to Secaucus two years ago. She works for a local nonprofit World Changer Church New York as their social media manager in addition to working as a freelance journalist. During an informational meeting on Sept. 17 between local officials, SHA Executive Director Christopher Marra, Andre-Tomlinson, and Mayor Michael Gonnelli discussed his vision for the board. “We are trying to really get this group a little more diversified,” said Gonnelli. “We have a changing population. We have new people coming in all the time.” At 51.4 percent, more than half the

Update: council meeting evacuation he Secaucus Town Council meeting was evacuated during the Sept. 11 council meeting after a resident apparently left behind an unattended bag. Police called in the Hudson County Sheriff ’s K-9 unit, which found nothing suspicious. The owner of the bag returned within that time period and told police officers that he had left to go speak to someone, according to Sgt. Thomas O’Keefe. He declined medical treatment and was released within an hour, according to O’Keefe. He was not considered a threat to himself or others. According to the resident in question, he left the council chambers to tell a friend about a job fair for UPS that a councilman had mentioned during the meeting. Meanwhile, last week’s article mentioned that police discovered that there was a warrant from Bayonne out for the man. Police clarified that the warrant was a bench warrant for a traffic offense.

Honorary school lunch NJ ag secretary dines in Secaucus cafeteria to look at food changes By Adriana Rambay Fernández Reporter Staff Writer

tate Secretary of Agriculture Douglas H. Fisher and Patricia Dombroski from the U.S. Department of Agriculture on Sept. 19 sampled new school lunch menu items at Secaucus High School that meet healthier federal guidelines. First Lady Michelle Obama announced federal changes in the school lunch requirements earlier this year. The healthier meal requirements are a key component of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, which was championed by the First Lady as part of her Let’s Move! campaign and signed into law by President Barack Obama. Mayor Michael Gonnelli, local officials, Board of Education trustees, administrators, and students also dined while the state officials were there. “There certainly is a lot of interest today in the healthy choices kids can make in school,” said Fisher prior to the tasting. “We want our kids to be able to eat better, have better choices, grow up stronger and healthier and this is one way to be able to do that.” He said it was a far cry from many years ago when many went straight to the TastyKake line. “Secaucus does it right…in terms of how our students can have these opportunities for good, fresh, nutritious foods,” noted Fisher. The state wanted to recognize the school district’s efforts because they are “ahead of the curve on nutrition.” According to the school board, the district was an early adopter of the new federal guidelines. It is the first time in more than 15 years that the standards have been raised. The new meal requirements reduce salt and fat in addition to requiring more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. The five components served at lunch include: protein, bread, fruit, vegetable, and milk. “The school day just got healthier,” said Dombroski, which is the campaign’s slogan. Dombroski serves as the Regional Administrator for the USDA’s Food and

Nutrition Service Mid-Atlantic Region. Dombroski said that changes such as offering low-fat milk and reducing or eliminating soda are science-based from information provided by the Institute for Medicine. She noted that taste buds are still a factor and that they are trying to be very creative to introduce new foods. Some schools are doing taste testing to give students options, in conjunction with learning about where food comes from. “We know there are favorite foods like pizza, but the pizza now will be whole grain in terms of the crust and a lower fat cheese.” “I’m a frequent flyer here,” said Mayor Michael Gonnelli. “Unfortunately, I usually get a slice of pizza. I look forward to the whole grain pizza.” He said he looked forward to the foods and hoped they continued to be healthy, nutritious, and enjoyable to the students. “A healthy student is a happy student,” noted John “Jack” McStowe, school board president.

HEALTHY LUNCH – Patricia Dombroski from the USDA and Douglas H. Fisher, secretary of the state’s Department of Agriculture sample food at the Secaucus High School cafeteria.

Healthy as a choice Fisher, Dombroski, and Mayor Michael Gonnelli as well as local officials, administrators, staff, and board trustees were served small portions of whole grain lasagna rolette, green beans Roma, garlic sticks, and baked apple crisp. Other menu options included grilled chicken pasta primavera, cannellini bean salad, chilled green bean salad, a hummus and vegetable platter, and a fruit and cheese platter. The meals were prepared by food service provider Maschio’s. President Frank Maschio and Regional Supervisor Chris Traks took the group through the lunch line and Corporate Chef Steve Escobedo served up the meals. Maschio held up the “swap out” options that included the hummus and vegetable platter and fruit and cheese platter. Last June the Secaucus school board renewed the contract for Maschio’s after discussing changes to expand the menu choice and improve the presentation of the food in response to parent and student requests. Escobedo, who came on four months ago, said that it was a challenge to reduce the

He said his goal in creating the menu is for the food to be “great tasting,” and “appealing.” Escobedo said that Maschio’s introduced 75 new recipes for the school year and also attempts to get

‘Code Heart’ How the BMC staff worked to save local man in midst of heart attack By Al Sullivan Reporter staff writer

n the evening of April 25, Ron Kraszyk of Bayonne had just come back from dinner with his family and prepared to sit down to watch a New Jersey Devils game on TV when he said he felt odd. “I never get sick, so I didn’t even have a doctor,” said Kraszyk, who is an account executive with the Hudson Reporter newspaper group. “I’ve never even had a headache, so I never had a reason to go to a doctor.” Never having been ill in his life, he had nothing to compare this new feeling to. He decided to go to sleep. His bedroom is on the third floor, up 42 stairs from the family room where he watches TV. “I was never short of breath climbing them,” said Kraszyk. “But this time I felt strange. This came on quick. The only thing I could think was that I had gotten food poisoning. I was very nauseous, and the last time that happened to me was when I drank too much at 17.” Later, in the early hours of the morning, he got up. He knew what was happening to him wasn’t good. He went into the bathroom and vomited. He was told later that this was his body’s way of telling him he had a serious problem. He didn’t know it then, but he was on the verge of a massive heart attack. He had no other symptoms, although he had a family history that indicated he was at risk. “He had no symptoms prior to this,” Dr. Peter Wong, a cardiologist who works at multiple sites in Hudson County, including Hoboken University Medical Center and Bayonne Medical Center. “But this is not unusual. More than 50 percent of people who have heart attacks have no symptoms prior to the attack.” Fortunately for him, his wife Tish happened to wake up in time to hear him, around 4 a.m. After he passed out, Tish started to call 911 for an ambulance, but Ron got up and stopped her. He finally agreed that she could take him to Bayonne Medical Center. Once in the car, he told her not to stop at traffic lights, and she didn’t.

Heart issues When they got to the emergency room, he collapsed and had a seizure.

“It was surreal at that point,” Tish said. “There must have been 10 people running to him, yelling instructions. Before I knew it, they were rushing him off to the catheterization lab,” Tish said. “It was just like something out of a TV show.” Someone with a clipboard followed asking questions and getting information as he was wheeled away. “They were very efficient,” Tish said. “We have what is called a Code Heart program,” said Richard Butts, executive director of the Cardiac Department. “This is to treat patients who are suffering from a heart attack. What we look for is a set of criteria that shows us that the artery is closed. Upon that recognition of those things, generally there are changes on electrocardiogram that indicate that a heart attack is occurring, then the goal and the best treatment for that is to have the artery open within 90 minutes.” “Years ago, what we used to give a patient what we called clot-busting medication,” Dr. Wong said. “What we found out is the sooner you can restore blood flow to the heart, the more you minimize the damage to the heart muscle. Clot-busting medicine usually takes several hours to work. So instead, we bring the patient right up to the cath lab where we can do a cauterization and angioplasty.” Angioplasty is the insertion of a tube through an artery in the leg which can carry a balloon or a variety of other devises to clear the clot from the artery into the heart. “And very often we will implant a stent that will push the clot aside and allow blood to flow,” he said. And this can mean a difference between life and death, and even indicate how well a patient recovers later.

Very critical situation Ron Kraszyk, Dr. Wong said, was at the severe end of the spectrum. The aorta was 100 percent blocked. The other arteries were 95 to 98 percent blocked. Ron came into the ER not only suffering from a heart attack, Dr. Wong said, but he also had a condition called carcinogenetic shock. This meant that his heart wasn’t even pumping hard enough

population of Secaucus is comprised of women, according to the 2010 US Census. Of the town’s 16,264 total population, 68.4 percent is white, 20.4 percent is Asian, 18.6 percent is Latino, and 4.1 percent is black. “We definitely wanted another woman on the board,” Gonnelli added. At the start of the year the mayor and council took strides to add more women as well as diversify local boards with younger voices. They appointed 28-year-old Jennifer Modi, a senior civil engineer, to the Planning Board, and as an alternate to the SMUA board; Eleanna Ballis, 25, a recent graduate of Rutgers, to the Environmental Committee; and Amanda Nesheiwat, 22, a recent college grad-

HEART

UP AND RUNNING – After suffering a massive heart attack on April 25, Ron Kraszyk is seen here in the Bayonne Medical Center cardiac rehabilitation center a few weeks before he is scheduled to go back to work.

to sustain life, to maintain blood pressure. “What we needed to do first was place a device called an intra-aortic balloon pump just outside the heart and it pumps along with his heart to help his heart during the acute phase of the attack,” Dr. Wong said. Ron’s heart was also beating irregularly in what is called lethal uremia, and he had complete heart block; the electrical system in the heart became dysfunctional. “We put in the balloon pump, a temporary pacemaker, and gave him some very specific anti-arrhythmic drugs to stabilize him,” Dr. Wong said. “Then we started working on the blood vessel to his heart. And we found multiple blockages in multiple arteries. We searched out the one artery that was completely blocked which caused the heart attack, opened it up, dissolved the clot, moved in a balloon, and put in a stent to open up that artery. Then we allowed time to let him recover. Within 24 hours, remarkably, we were able to remove his pacemaker and the balloon pump. This meant the heart was able to function in a much better way.” There was a significant chance Ron wasn’t going to survive. From Ron’s perspective, the number of people involved gave him confidence. “They made me feel calmer,” he said, recalling that although several processes were happening at once, one attendant in particular was very collected. Most of the family had come to the hospital by that time, although one disturbing moment came when Tish was asked by Dr. Wong

HOUSING AUTHORITY – Secaucus Mayor Michael Gonnelli, Councilman James Clancy, Housing Authority Executive Director Christopher Marra, and prospective commissioner Rachel Andre-Tomlinson all met on Sept. 17 to discuss expectations.

where their other daughter was. When she said away at college, she was told she might want to bring their daughter back as quickly as possible.

Coded three times Ron coded three times during the process, and doctors were forced to shock his heart. For Ron, some of the process was a haze of memory, but he recalled how professional people were and the confidence he felt in them.

“Everybody did what we normally do in this situation. Everybody did well.” – Dr. Peter Wong “These people were phenomenal,” he said, although he could not remember all of their names. Many of them worked under Helen Uy, manager of the cath lab, who Ron called “amazing.” “They talked to me while I was on the table, asking me how I was and constantly reassured me,” he said. At one point, they told him that they would need to shock him again, and they told him it wouldn’t hurt, but he would feel like he got kicked in the chest by a horse – which is exactly how it felt, Ron said. Once in the Cardiac Care Unit, hospital staff never left him in the room alone. Someone was always in there, watching to make certain everything was all right. He said Barbara

Reilly and Mark Daniels in particular were “angels without wings.” “Everybody did what we normally do in this situation, everybody did well,” Dr. Wong said. “Dr. Wong saved my life,” Ron said. “Even through Bayonne Medical Center is a community hospital, the kind of care you get here is better than what you would get at any university hospital in the area,” Dr. Wong said. “The only thing Bayonne is missing is the license to do open heart bypass surgery. If that ever changes, Bayonne’s ability to take care of heart patients would be unmatched.” Ron required quadruple bypass surgery, which had to be performed elsewhere. Ron’s recovery was remarkable. He started by walking, and eventually wound up working out in the cardiac rehabilitation center at BMC under the careful supervision of Linda Lolli, Ginny Messenger, and Karen Madrid, and along with a new kind of family of others recovering from their own heart issues. Dr. Wong said even recovery has changed when it comes to heart attacks. “In the old days, hospitals would keep a patient five or six days up to two weeks after a serious heart attack,” Dr. Wong said. “Now, the idea is to have patients become active and we have them out in 48 to 72 hours.” “I’m a changed man,” Ron said. “I am very grateful to Dr. Wong and the staff of Bayonne Medical Center for giving me a second chance at life.”

Soaring Eagles gain redemption against rival North Bergen Thrilling fourth-quarter comeback eases pain of last year’s playoff loss

SOARING LEADERS – The Union City football team overcame a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit last weekend to defeat rival North Bergen in overtime, thanks to the play of quarterback Isaiah Diaz-Mays (left) and running back Rafael Colindres (right). hen North Bergen and Union City met in the NJSIAA North Jersey Section 1, Group IV football semifinals last November, one team moved on to MetLife Stadium in the Meadowlands to compete for a state title. The other went home. That other team was Union City, courtesy of a heartbreaking, hard-hitting 10-7 setback to the Bruins on a field goal in overtime. The Bruins went on to capture the state championship. The Soaring Eagles had nothing. “We made it a motivational part for our entire offseason,” Union City head coach Wilber Valdez said. “We put a circle around it. We let a big one get away.”

The players felt the same way. “We all felt we should have won that game,” said senior quarterback Isaiah Diaz-Mays. “We felt like they took something from us. Coach Valdez reminded us that we were 20 yards from going to the Meadowlands. That was our whole motivation throughout the offseason. We all remembered that night, that game.” Last Friday night, the Soaring Eagles were getting their shot at redemption by facing the neighboring Bruins. And as the fourth quarter began to wind down, Union City trailed, 27-14. With a little more than eight minutes remaining in the

game, things didn’t exactly look good for the Soaring Eagles. After having already suffered a loss to Shabazz in the opening week, Union City was staring at the unthinkable – an 0-2 record to start the new season. “Our running back, Rafael Colindres, said that it was time to make something happen,” Diaz-Mays said. “We felt that we had to turn it up instead of giving up. I knew that the team would be counting on me, so it was my time to turn it up.” Diaz-Mays, a three-year varsity starter, was asked what was going through his mind at that exact point. “It was definitely frustrating,” Diaz-Mays said. “We were making too many mistakes to be in that situation. We shouldn’t have been down two touchdowns that late. But we still had time.” “We knew that we didn’t have much time,” Valdez said. “We had to score quickly. We had to have a sense of urgency. We had to move, go no-huddle on offense, put in more passing sets.” The comeback began when Colindres took a kickoff back 80 yards for a touchdown, slicing the lead to 27-19. “That gave us hope,” Valdez said. But it was then up to the Soaring Eagles’ defense to shut down the Bruins, something that they had not been able to do for the majority of the game. “We were a little banged up,” Valdez said. “We had our fourth and fifth string linebackers out there. Without our starting linebackers, we had issues all day. But the one thing I’ve learned since I’ve been in Union City is that these kids are not quitters. They hang in there and give their all.” The Soaring Eagles did what they had to do, by stopping the Bruins and getting the ball back in the hands of Diaz-Mays for one last possession. “He’s a very confident kid,” Valdez said of his quarterback. “It’s a big help that he’s the guy in charge. I looked him right in the eye and he looked ready to make some big plays for us.” Diaz-Mays put the Soaring Eagles on his shoulders and began to carry them through. “He hit a few passes, ran a few times,” Valdez said. “He got us down to the 4-yard line with 30 seconds left. It was fourth down and we had to get in.” A penalty pushed the ball back to the 9-yard line. Diaz-Mays sprinted out to try a pass, but found no one open. He then took the ball on his own into the end zone with just 11 seconds left, then hit Colindres with the two-point PAT pass that tied the game at 27-27. Once again, the two teams were headed to overtime, just like they did in the state playoffs last November. “It was an eerie feeling,” Valdez said. “It really felt like last year.” Especially when North Bergen lined up to

A TRUE CHAMPION – Hudson Catholic senior running back Champion Smith has helped his team get off to a 20 start this season, after rushing for more than 200 yards in the Hawks’ win over Bergen Tech last weekend.

Heart of a Champion Hudson Catholic off to 2-0 grid start; same for Lincoln udson Catholic didn’t have a new football coach until July, the program’s fifth head coach in five years. The Hawks didn’t have a true offseason training regimen and things were in the state of flux. But the school administration brought in an alumnus in Lou Zampella to be the new head coach and so far, the early results are positive. The Hawks are 2-0 under the tutelage of the Hoboken native and town firefighter. “I’m a little surprised with the record,” said Zampella, whose team has defeated Newark Academy and Bergen Tech in the first two games this season. “I’m happy with their hard work. It’s paid off. The kids wanted to win and put the work and time in. It’s gratifying to see them get rewarded for their hard work.”

kick a field goal in overtime to win the game. It was the same kid, Welmar Muriel, who kicked the Bruins to the state title game last year. “I saw the same kid come out and I had a flashback,” Valdez said. Except this time, Muriel missed the field goal, giving the Soaring Eagles a chance to win. “The kids were pretty hyped up, knowing they had a shot,” Valdez said. On the second play in overtime, Diaz-Mays took it upon himself. “It was supposed to be a pass, but I decided to take it and see what happened,” Diaz-Mays said. What happened was a 16-yard touchdown that gave the Soaring Eagles the improbable 33-27 victory. “That game will be remembered for a long, long time,” Diaz-Mays said. “It’s a win that will boost our confidence. We have a very young team. We only have a handful of seniors.” “It’s a huge win for the program,” Valdez said. “If we lost, we would have been 0-2 and that would have been very tough to come back from. Going 0-2 could have ended our hopes right there. It had been nine years since any Union City team beat North Bergen. Now, it’s a rivalry. We showed we can punch back. It’s a real rivalry.” Valdez said that he was pleased that so many players, like Colindres, stepped up to make big plays. “I told him that his role had been upgraded,” Valdez said of Colindres, who scored two touchdowns. “He does everything you ask of him. I told him that he had to make up for those who graduated. I told him that I needed him to be special. He took it and ran with it. I called him out and he responded.” Valdez also likes the play he’s getting from sophomores Jonathan Castellano and Dequan Kelly, both of whom made big catches down the stretch. And then there’s the play of the quarterback, who completed 5-of-11 passes for 111 yards while rushing for 112 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. “He’s the one who makes us go,” Valdez said of Diaz-Mays. “Hopefully, this is the kind of win we will remember when we make the state playoffs.” And the state playoffs are now definitely a possibility after a clutch, unforgettable comefrom-behind win in overtime against the neighboring rival – the same rival that ended the state playoff hopes a year ago. It’s the kind of drama that is only found in high school football.

One of the major stars in the win over Bergen Tech was senior running back Champion Smith, which is such a great name for an athlete. Smith had a sensational all-around game in the victory. He rushed for 201 yards on 18 carries and scored a touchdown. He

also returned the opening kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown and made 11 tackles on defense. “I’m very happy that Champion had a good second game, a good bounce back game for him,” Zampella said. “He’s done everything we ask of him and more. We also had others step up and that definitely helps.” The Hawks now get to face a local foe, when they take on St. Anthony this weekend. The Friars are also 2-0 after wins over Glen Ridge and Belleville… Another team off to a somewhat surprising start is Lincoln, which has also exploded out of the gate to a 2-0 record with wins over a perennially strong Group IV school in Livingston and then Dover. The Lions lost most of their skilled position players from last year to graduation, but they have not missed a beat, much to the delight of head coach Robert Hampton, still recovering from recent Achilles tendon surgery. “We had a good win against Livingston,” Hampton said. “I see TIDBITS next page

SPORTS SECTION ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Weehawken’s Corredor just picks up from where he left off fter compiling more than 4,000 yards in total offense and scoring more than 60 touchdowns in his first three years of high school football, you would expect that there’s not much more Damian Corredor could do in his career at Weehawken High School. A year ago, Corredor established himself as one of the best running backs in New Jersey, even leading the entire state in rushing yardage for an extended period of time. He collected nearly 1,800 yards rushing and scored 20 touchdowns on the ground, added a handful more scores either on kick returns, punt returns and interceptions. So what does Corredor do for an encore? Well, when the Indians defeated Ridgefield in their season opener, Corredor had a pedestrian, almost mediocre 106 yards and two touchdowns. Ho hum. “Everyone was coming up to me and asking me how I did,” Corredor said. “I told them I had 106 yards and they said, ‘That’s it?’ They wanted to know if I was hurt or

Weehawken senior running back Damian Corredor something. I told them that I didn’t care. We got the win and that’s all that matters.” “After what he’s done, you almost have to expect great things from him,” said secondyear Weehawken head coach Zach Naszimento. “You almost take it for granted that he’s going to do something great, because that’s what he’s always done. He’s such a special player that you think he’s going to score every time he gets the ball.” Last Saturday, as the Indians faced Park Ridge, Corredor was nothing close to mediocre. He showed exactly why he’s rated as one of the best all-around performers in the state and the best football player ever to grace Weehawken High School. What Corredor did reads like a resume of a great football player.

• He punted the ball four times for an average better than 40 yards. • On defense, he made eight tackles and collected two interceptions. • He returned the opening kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown. • Last but not least, Corredor rushed for 241 yards on 26 carries and scored four touchdowns. So, to put it all together in a nice, tidy package, Corredor had 412 yards of total offense and broke the school single-game scoring record by scoring five touchdowns. That is nothing short of incredible. “It’s almost like you don’t pay attention as the game is going on,” Naszimento said. “Then, after the game, you total everything up and you say, ‘Oh, my God,’ and ‘Wow, did he just do that?’ When you think anything he does can’t surprise you, he surprises you. He just keeps making play after play.” Needless to say, for his efforts, Corredor has been named as The Hudson Reporter Athlete of the Week for the past week. Corredor becomes only the second athlete to ever be featured as Athlete of the Week three times, joining former Hudson Reporter Athlete of the Year Evan Rodriguez of North Bergen, who is currently playing tight end for the Chicago Bears. That’s some company. Naszimento will sing Corredor’s praises all day long about all the different things he does. In Saturday’s wild 53-39 win, propelling the Indians to their first 2-0 start since 2007, Corredor stood out in an aspect that won’t show up in any statistical line. “We needed some big plays, so we turned Damian into the lead blocker on the sweep and gave the ball to Dante [Cieri, the Indians’ other solid back],” Naszimento said. “As much as Damian did all the other things, he made four or five great blocks in front of Dante. You don’t see that on the sheet, but that proves that he’ll do anything you ask him to do.” “Dante and I make a good combination,” Corredor said. “When he needs me to block for him, I’m there. I think it takes a lot of pressure off me having someone like Dante, because this was a dog fight and we needed everyone.” Naszimento said that the true value of a great player is what he does without the

football in his hands. “He’s a very special kid,” Naszimento said. “He makes everyone around him better. Seriously, if Dante was to get the ball every time, Damian would be the one to lead the way every time. He really just has a different motor than most. His work ethic is amazing. His main strength is how fierce of a competitor he is. He’s just so motivated all the time.” Late in the game Saturday, there were moments where Corredor took it upon himself to win the game. “He said to me, ‘Coach, I need the rock. I need it right now. I’m feeling it,’” Naszimento said. “So all plays went out the window. We were giving the kid the ball. He just took over the game.” “I’m definitely more of a leader,” Corredor said. “I’m a senior and all the younger kids look up to me. I have to show them the right way.” Incredibly, Corredor has not received much attention from the college recruiters. He has not received a single solid scholarship offer to date, only a few phone calls. “I think that will heat up again during the course of the year,” Naszimento said. “I get a lot of e-mails from old-time Weehawken people who say he’s the best ever. He’s unbelievable. He’s put in a tremendous amount of work and it’s paying off. He’s going to get something [from the colleges]. I know it. When the lights go on, he shows up bigger than anyone I’ve ever coached. When the game starts, he’s ready and the others follow.” Corredor isn’t overly concerned with the lack of attention he has received from the colleges. “I want to play in college,” Corredor said. “I realize that this is my last chance. I haven’t had an offer and that bothers me a little. I know I’m not the biggest guy around [5-10, 185], but I can definitely play. I know I can qualify [academically], so it boggles my mind a little. I think it will help if I gain more recognition. As the season goes on, I hope the colleges take notice.” As well they should. – Jim Hague Jim Hague can be reached via e-mail at OGSMAR@aol.com

thought we matched up well against Dover. I don’t know if I could have expected 2-0. I was thinking 1-1, so being 2-0 is a blessing.” Hampton made a basketball reference in talking about his team. “You know, the Boston Celtics’ great teams weren’t all about Hall of Famers like Larry Bird and Kevin McHale,” Hampton said. “But those teams had a bunch of role players like M.L. Carr, Gerald Henderson and Cedric Maxwell. That’s what we have on this team. We have a bunch of good role players. Added Hampton, “We’ve had kids like Tarik Darby, Darious Wade, Eli Terry and Devell Jones [191 yards and two touchdowns against Lincoln] who have stepped in and played well for us in the skilled position. Getting that kind of production is nothing to sneeze at.” Not to mention that quarterback Isiah Roberts has passed for more than 110 yards in each win and already has three touchdown passes, two to Steven Jones. “All the role players have come in and done a great job,” Hampton said. “They’re already battle tested. I think we were all extremely angry we didn’t make the playoffs last year. This team is now built to make the playoffs. It’s very well built and put together. They understand the mission. Winning definitely makes my foot feel better.

WILDLIFE

from cover

the state’s Meadowlands Commission, the area has seen a return to nature and the growth of an urban ecosystem. Area residents visit to appreciate views of nature juxtaposed with the New York City skyline. “Every outing offers something new, albeit often times seemingly insignificant to uninterested parties,” said Raine. “But for the most part, the incredible characteristics and natural abilities displayed by the many animals is, in itself, quite amazing.” On a recent weekend, they were called to a park in nearby Lyndhurst by their friend and fellow nature lover, Billy Archer of Garfield. Archer had spotted a praying mantis.

“It continued to groom itself while occasionally stopping to pose for the camera.” – James M. Raine

While Archer was walking through DeKorte Park with his wife and son, the mantis had jumped onto his leg out of a sweet flowering sumac tree where Elaine Raine had rescued 22 egg casings during the late spring. According to Raine, the couple had grown disappointed at not seeing the insect at future outings but said, “This one was a beauty and even a little clownish.” “Putting our hands out in turn, the Mantis would climb upon any one of its choosing,” said Raine, who took numerous photos. “It stayed with us for quite some time, totally at ease as it continued to groom itself while occasionally stopping to pose for the camera,” added Raine. Despite attempts to allow it back into the sweet flowering sumac tree, the mantis walked back up an arm to hang out for awhile. “It reminded us of how it used to be as kids whenever we would find one of these beauties,” said Raine. “We never encountered defensive behavior, only total comfort . . . It all depends on how one treats them.”

N! ENDS SOO

The Secaucus Reporter • September 23, 2012 • 14 VIEW – The view from the roof of Rocco Impreveduto Towers includes the skyline.

GROWING

from cover FOREVER – Rocco Impreveduto Towers resident Paulette Spellmeyer tends to a forever plant in one of the planters on the rooftop of her building.

Let’s plant “They were just three empty pots and there was garbage in the other three empty ones,” said Spellmeyer last week. “And I decided, let’s plant.” The first year she planted grass in the middle of the planters along with marigolds but after the first year she sought a stronger plant that could withstand the winds. “I wanted something that was strong that would come up every year,” said Spellmeyer. Her niece gave her a small forever plant and from that plant she sprouted more than 60 forever plants, which she gave away. “I spread the forever,” said Spellmeyer. She also planted geraniums, coneflower, and pansies among others. “The people who come up here enjoy this,” said Spellmeyer.

More than a view On a bright, sunny day with a slight breeze, Spellmeyer pulled weeds out of one of the planters as her older sister and fellow Towers resident Charlotte Reiner looked on. Several planters, pots, and baskets had lined the edges of the rooftop. A flower pot was tied down to each outdoor table where residents can place umbrellas in the summer. Reiner comes out to the rooftop from time to time with her sister to have coffee. In the distance, the view of Hudson County to the east and the New York City skyline is expansive. “My sister is up here all the time,” said Reiner, “She is a sun baby.” “The view and the alone time,” said Spellmeyer about what compels her to spend time up on the rooftop. “It is perfect for sun if you can get that breeze.” Spellmeyer is not the only one who has invested time, energy, and money into beautifying the Towers rooftop.

WATERING – Residents at Rocco Impreveduto Towers use watering cans to water the plants on the rooftop, but they want a hose. “Vinnie got involved and then everyday there was a new plant!” she noted. “I’m like the water boy. Paulette is the designer,” said Vincent Laurie, 74, a resident of the Towers. He said that the mums, which he bought several bushel baskets of, will blossom soon. MUMS – A row of baskets of mums were lined up against a wall.

Making it easier to water While Laurie enjoys watering the flowers up on the rooftop, he said a hose would make a huge difference for him since he has to carry the water in watering cans that he fills from the men’s bathroom. “I’m 74 and I’m lugging those water containers to water these things,” said Laurie. “We do a couple of gallons at a time from the sink.” The watering cans are tied down on the rooftop.

FOOD

“We can’t put a hose up on the roof,” said Secaucus Housing Authority Executive Director Christopher Marra last week. “The hose could freeze.” Marra said that he was worried a hose connected to pressurized water could leak and do damage to the apartments below the roof. And while Marra supports the gardening efforts, he said, “I have to think of people below [the roof deck].” Mayor Michael Gonnelli said last week, after

locally-sourced produce. Next week, the state celebrates Farm to School week that emphasizes working with local and regional farmers. “The hope is that with improved diet we will be able to tackle the obesity problem,” said Dombroski. She noted that New Jersey is one of only three states where school meals are administered at the state level through the Department of Agriculture. “New Jersey is unique because it allows that real connection of agriculture and farm to food meals,” said Dombroski.

Pasta, portions and price MORE VARIETY – Frank Maschio, president of the food service provider Maschio’s, shows two additional options in the cafeteria that include hummus and vegetables and a cheese and fruit platter.

Outside the lunchline, students took the opportunity to speak with Fisher and shared their thoughts on the food.

“Pasta Tuesdays were the best,” said senior Brianna McCaffery to Fisher. “Mostly the sandwich line is packed,” said senior Kenneth Mercado. “I didn’t even know we had hummus,” said McCaffery. “People always go to the easiest and fastest,” Fisher told the two seniors. “They have to train themselves to sometimes think, ‘Wait a minute —- this is not the best choice.’ ” When later asked what it would take to get their peers to eat healthier meals, the seniors both said it came down to a matter of personal choice. “You have to want it,” said McCaffery. “You can’t really force healthy foods on kids and expect them to eat it,” said Mercado. Mercado shared that he often brought his lunch, and that while there is a wide variety of choices, lunch is too expensive.

hearing about the need, that he ordered two rain barrels for the Towers, to collect rain water. Gonnelli said that a hose can be attached to the rain barrel because it is not pressurized water.

“If you put pizza there and you put salad there – what do you think a normal teenager is going to do?” said McCaffery. A scan of the cafeteria revealed that some kids did choose pizza, but others had salad. Sophomore Joshua DeJesus was one of the teenagers who went for the salad. “Pretty good,” he said about the food. “There is a good selection.” He said that he often ate a salad or a sandwich because he is an athlete and plays sports. At 6’1, his only complaint was that the portions are too small and that he ends up buying more food as a result.

Dear Editor:

Much has been said at recent Council meetings and written in this publication attempting to cast a negative light on the fiscal responsibility of my administration. Rather than respond to these individual attacks, I think the far better course is to state the facts regarding this administration’s fiscal prudence. Because the Secaucus Day Care Center was operating at a deficit, we closed the Center, saving tax payers more than $90,000 per year. We rearranged the Recreation Department’s staffing and reduced that budget by almost $57,000 annually. By working with the new owners of Meadowlands Hospital, we decreased our cost for providing an ambulance to Town residents by almost $500,000 annually and, at the same time, doubled the number of ambulances available to serve the Town. Despite the fact that we have renovated many of the parks in Town, embarked upon the most aggressive street paving program in the Town’s history, and have started implementing a plan to minimize flooding throughout the Town, our outstanding debt has been reduced by about $2,000,000 annually. To further reduce the Town’s outstanding debt, we have begun collecting outstanding Special Assessments, which has also reduced the Town’s debt load by another $620,000 annually. We were able to negotiate with our employees in the last round of Contract negotiations to move our employees into the much less expensive State Health Benefits Program. We anticipate that over the next 3 years, this change

alone will save the Town in excess of $4,500,000. Perhaps to best illustrate my administration’s commitment to fiscal responsibility, we need only to look at this year’s tax bill, which had a 0 percent increase in the municipal portion for the first time since 2007. Furthermore, we have all heard much discussion about the Governor’s “2 percent cap”. My administration could have chosen to raise taxes by $1,600,000 for 2012 and stay within the Governor’s mandate, but instead thought that money was better left in the taxpayers’ pockets. All the above cost savings can be borne out by facts and figures which I would be happy to provide to anyone who is interested. My administration was elected on the platform of honest, open, and accountable government. We have and will continue to keep those promises. Sincerely, Michael J. Gonnelli

Dear Editor: I begin this letter paraphrasing a quote from Albert Einstein. “When the powers that be have the schools and press under its’ thumb their able to sway the emotions of the masses” Now, that being said. It is bad enough that Mayor Gonnelli now controls the Board of Education, he now would like to dictate to the papers the head lines the two papers covering town council meetings ought to employ in their coverage of the meetings. Permit me to explain. At the last council meeting, Mayor Gonnelli reprimanded the reporters for the headlines their papers used in their article covering the

By Al Sullivan

Rock and rollers for decades have been obsessed with truth, whether it was Eric Clapton in his 1970 song, “Tell the Truth,” or John Lennon in “Just Give Me Some Truth.” Even Mark Twain pointed out the wisdom of truth telling: “When in doubt, tell the truth.” It may not surprise the general public that few Hudson County politicians have taken this lesson to heart, a fact that was experienced several times over the last month as reporters from the Hudson Reporter contacted local leaders to talk about issues vital to the public good. State Sen. and Union City Mayor Br ia n St a ck flatly refused to reveal whether he and his commissioners are receiving health benefits, requiring the Hudson Reporter to file an Open Public Records Act request – which they have not responded to. Because of certain state aid received by Union City, elected officials there can’t receive public health benefits under a reform package established by Gov. C h r ist op h er C h r ist ie after a scandal in Paterson highlighted abuses in the past. Towns like Union City that fit certain criteria are required to get the blessing of the Department of Community Affairs first. Union City apparently did so, but some political observers believe this was orchestrated by Christie to benefit Stack, a key ally in Hudson County, and that this was all supposed to be hush-hush, even though taxpayers ultimately paid the bill. When the DCA and Stack were both asked by a reporter whether they got an exemption, neither party would answer.

The alleged behind-the-scenes deal making smacks of bad state policy, except when you realize that Stack may be starting a political war against the Hudson County Democratic Organization in 2013 that could cripple the Democratic ability to get out the vote in the same year Christie – a Republican – is running for reelection. Meanwhile, Jersey City Councilman St even F u lop apparently failed to take seriously the questions raised by the Jersey City Reporter last week as to whether or not he violated his own pay-to-play law when professionals connected to firms doing business with the city and the school district apparently raised money for his campaign. Thinking that there was no basis for a story, the Fulop camp simply wouldn’t comment rather than explain in detail why this was not true, and will likely face serious questioning on the campaign trail from Mayor J er r a m ia h H ea ly, who is running against Fulop next May. Fulop is lucky that Da n L evin decided to run for Ward E rather than for mayor, because as the campaign unfolds, people might have seen him as an alternative to Fulop. With only two main players facing off against his each, voters are going to have to choose between Fulop and Healy. But the questions about pay-to-play may make some potential running mates such as Councilwoman Viola R ich a r d son think twice about joining the Fulop campaign. Although Fulop has a significant lead in money, it is rumored that Healy’s connections to New York City Mayor M ich a el Bloom b er g and Newark Mayor C or y Booker might well

offset that advantage, especially if the unions – who are not particularly trustful of Fulop – decide Healy can actually win.

DPW update Sources in Bayonne have confirmed at least part of former North Bergen DPW Superintendent J a m es W iley’s allegation that Wiley and others had been ordered to help out in area political campaigns. One source said Wiley and others showed up in Bayonne to help in Mayor M a r k Sm it h ’s 2008 campaign, but local campaign workers didn’t know what to do with them. “We couldn’t send him door to door,” said one source, speaking of James Wiley’s appearance. “He would have scared people.” James Wiley apparently unveiled a host of charges about alleged corrupt political activities in North Bergen after he had pleaded guilty two weeks ago to using public workers for repairs and chores around his home.

Roque’s choice Rumor has it that federal prosecutors have offered West New York Mayor Felix Roque a deal: plead guilty and resign from office, and neither he nor his son will get any jail time. Roque and son were charged earlier this year with allegedly hacking into the website of political opponents – a site some claim was a fake to start with. Federal officials apparently have given Roque until November to agree or the deal is off. Roque has to choose whether or not to take the deal, which would severely impact his medical practice. If he pleads guilty, his practice would be prohibited from taking Medicare and Medicaid payments for the duration of his

probation. If he fights it, he risks going to jail. Even if his son is to take blame and testify that Roque knew nothing about the alleged hacking, Roque risks being convicted or having his son go to jail for up to five years, utterly ruining his future plans.

Stack vs. the unions Police and municipal union workers are gearing up to take on Mayor Stack in Union City. Although a center of union activity, and the city where the murder of J im my H offa was allegedly planned, Union City was not named in tribute to organized labor, but rather after the combining of several municipalities. The unions hope to use the political process to get what they can’t get over the bargaining table. But it could backfire. Stack is the most popular mayor since Bill M u st o, building on his past as a renter’s advocate and his intense support for poorer people of the city. He has been very careful to make certain that the city teachers got their contracts, and to bring in financial support for the schools. These people and those they serve vote in Union City. Most cops and many municipal workers live outside of town, and their outrage could bring business owners to support Stack as a mayor who is willing to stand up against unions in order to keep down the cost of running municipal government.

Honest, open, and accountable government

Aug. 28th meeting. He claimed the headlines distorted the importance of what transpired at that meeting. This is typical Gonnelli double talk. He claims that all he wants is for the reporters to report the news “objectively and impartially.” What he really means is that he wants the reporters to report the news objectively, impartially and in sequence suitable to his own point of view. That’s absolute double talk. While on the subject of double talking. The explanation given explaining cost of the council members medical benefits to the taxpayers was/is a classic example of double talk. Anyone with half a brain could shoot holes in the defense given that night. That eliminates Tom Roarty, who brought this subject up and for the record was a no-show at the meeting.
