Breast Cancer: Fact or Fiction
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the perfect time to support efforts to raise money for research and learn more about the disease. Amid all the rumors and controversies surrounding breast cancer, what causes it, how to diagnose and treat it, its hard to separate fact from fiction. The right information could make a difference between life and death. Myth 1 Having a risk factor for breast cancer means youll develop the disease. No risk factor either alone or in combination with others means youll definitely get breast cancer. There are various factors that may increase your risk of developing the disease. Some of these appear to increase your risk only slightly. They include smoking, drinking (more than five alcoholic drinks per week year after year), getting your first menstrual period before age 12, continuing to have periods after age 55, and not having your first full-term pregnancy until after age 30. If you have a number of these, the increase in risk can start to be more meaningful. Myth 2 If there is no breast cancer in your family, then youre not at risk for the disease. Every woman is at risk for breast cancer. So are some men. For any individual woman, an inherited abnormality is the strongest risk factor, but only about 10 percent of all cases of breast cancer are due to inherited abnormalities. About 85 percent of women who develop the disease dont have a family history. Thats why its important for all women to get screened regularly. Myth 3 Breast cancer is passed only from your mother not your father. We now know that breast cancer genes can be inherited from your dads side of the family. So ask relatives about cases on both sides and in both men and women. About 2,000 cases of male breast cancer are diagnosed in the United States each year. In fact, male breast cancer is most closely associated with a BRCA2 abnormality. So if theres a man in the family whos had breast cancer, be sure to tell your doctor. Myth 4 No matter what your risk factors are, you really dont have to worry about breast cancer until youre through menopause. The odds of getting the disease do increase as you age. But breast cancer can occur at any age. Thats why all women need to be vigilant. Though experts recommend yearly mammograms starting at age 40, your doctor may suggest that you start even earlier if you have a family history of breast cancer at a young age. Mammography isnt the ideal screening test for women younger than 40 because it cant see through their dense breast tissue. So your doctor may also recommend ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). You may be able to enroll in a study of MRI for breast cancer detection for women at increased risk. Myth 5 Wearing a bra or using antiperspirants and deodorants increases your risk of breast cancer. Its not true that wearing a bra, especially underwire bras, traps toxins by limiting lymph and blood flow in your breasts, increasing risk. Theres also no proof for the claims that antiperspirants and deodorants cause cancer by keeping the body from sweating out the cancer-causing substances that build up in the breasts, or because they contain harmful chemicals that are absorbed through the skin. Myth 6 If you have small breasts, youre much less likely to get breast cancer. Size doesnt matter. Anyone with breasts can get it.
Now is the time to take the first step to loving the shape youre in.

New Study Links Dementia to Hearing Loss

A Hearing Evaluation Is Your First Line Of Defense. A major study* recently found that untreated hearing loss may increase the risk of developing Alzheimers disease and dementia. Those with mild hearing impairment were nearly twice as likely as those with normal hearing to develop dementia. The risk increased three-fold for those with moderate hearing loss, and five-fold for severe impairment.
The good news - hearing aids can delay, or help prevent, dementia and Alzheimers disease.
YOU DONT HAVE TO LIVE WITH BACK PAIN

Hearing Aids Can Help Reduce Multiple Alzheimers Symptoms Has a loved one been diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimers disease? Theyll face many challenges, but untreated hearing loss shouldnt be one of them. Research shows that treating hearing loss with hearing aids can help lessen common Alzheimers symptoms, including depression, disorientation, anxiety, social isolation and general cognitive decline.

Friendship House:Rehabilitating the Whole Person
Friendship House is a nonprofit, vocational rehabilitation center established in 1964 by the Teaneck Chapter of the National Council of Jewish Women. From its start as a storefront operation staffed by dedicated volunteers, Friendship House has grown into a 30,000-square foot center staffed by 50 professionals who provide services to approximately 730 men and women aged 18 to 75 each year. Friendship House strives to rehabilitate the whole person through work, education and social interaction, to develop self-confidence and independence. Currently, Friendship House provides pre-vocational and vocational training, supported employment, job coaching and partial care services to our members. Skills training areas include maintenance, food service, office skills, computer lab and workshop (packaging and assembly). In August 2008, Friendship House launched its worker cooperative, Friendship House Graphics. This entrepreneurial opportunity enables people with disabilities to realize their dream of owning and operating a business. The graphics business has grown over the course of the last few years as the designers have worked with municipalities, private companies, other non-profit organizations, state and county agencies. In July 2009, Friendship House embarked on a new endeavor to provide janitorial services at the Bergen County Housing, Health and Human Services Center in Hackensack. This 27,000-square foot homeless shelter provides placement opportunities for Friendship House members and offers a unique opportunity for one special needs population to help another. The success at BCHHH has lead to numerous janitorial contracts (both state and federal) throughout New Jersey. In September 2010, Friendship House opened a program for adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder. This program currently provides services for 28 individuals and includes social skills training, activity of daily living skills and job readiness. On Tuesday, Oct. 23, the Honorable Charlotte Vandervalk Gala will be held at Stony Hill Inn of Hackensack to celebrate Vandervalks career as a legislator and her service as a trustee of Friendship House over the last three decades. During the evenings festivities, Kevin Lynch, president and CEO of Oritani Bank will receive Friendship Houses First Humanitarian of the Year award for his continued support. All proceeds from the event will benefit Friendship Houses programs and services. Tickets are $150. Visit www.njfriendshiphouse.org to purchase tickets, sponsorship opportunities and journal ads. North Jersey Friendship House is located at 125 Atlantic St., Hackensack, 201-488-2121.
75% of your ticket fee is donated to fund breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment programs.

Hackensack City Council Update Closed School Board Session Angers Public
By Patti MCNaMaRa The Hackensack Board of Educations Sept. 10 public meeting started on time at 7:30 p.m. but didnt close until after 2 a.m. the next day as a lengthy closed-door session sent the waiting public into a rage. When the trustees did meet before the public gathered at the Hackensack High School auditorium, presentations were made on the Hackensack Academy of Second Success at the high school, the Freshman Academy, Chartwells Dining Services, and buildings and grounds improvements. The HASS program, now in its third year, is designed to help students become successful when they face obstacles. The program offers a full schedule equivalent to a school day but is held from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m. on weekdays. Students that have gone through HASS have moved on to Bergen Community College, William Paterson University, Lincoln Tech and Parisian Beauty Academy, among others. Two students spoke about the programs benefits. Karina Nuez said she will graduate with her class next June thanks to the program. The smaller class sizes allowed her to focus and pass all her classes with a B average. Prior to entering HASS, Nuez was failing four classes. Byron Hardy was failing all of his classes before meeting with counselors and discussing his options. Hardy is now receiving one-on-one attention and is looking forward to graduating on time because of HASS. Studies have shown that removing certain students from the traditional classroom setting is often the key to success. Students are typically in the HASS for two marking periods before returning to regular classes and are not allowed to participate in sports or other extracurricular activities during this period as these are considered privileges. We have saved kids from dropping out of school and that is our job here, said Board President Veronica Bolcik-McKenna. Hackensack High School Principal James Montesano spoke about the Freshman Academy that was introduced for the first time this year as a way to ease the transition from middle school to high school. The Academy, which is located in the east wing of the high school, focuses on positive reinforcement such as academic, character and attendance awards. The school districts food service provider, Chartwells, presented a slide show outlining the new federal regulations mandating healthier kids meals that went into effect on Sept. 1. Fruits and vegetables must now be served in greater portions while grain and protein portions have been reduced in size. It is also now mandatory that a student take a vegetable or fruit on his or her tray. Also, less than 10 percent of calories can come from saturated fat. Further changes are expected in 2013, 2014 and 2015. John Doller, director of buildings and grounds, spoke about the capital improvements that were completed over the summer. These include new doors, carpeting, interior lock systems and lighting. A new wall was erected at the Hackensack Middle School, and Nellie K. Parker School received a new auditorium floor, a job which called for the removal of all of the seats. Fairmount School now has new LED lighting, and high school students can use a new television studio. Both Hillers and Jackson Avenue schools were equipped with new exterior doors and new tile floors. Smaller projects included improved brick work, electrical wiring, new cabinets in science labs at the high school and wireless Internet installation at the high school. All the elementary schools will soon be outfitted with Aiphones, cameraintercom systems at singleentry doors. When the meeting was open for public comments, the first person to speak was Melanie Alston-Balaputra, an employee who had applied for a leave of absence to attend college and was told she would need to provide proof of enrollment in doctoral studies. However, her request for unpaid leave was denied although she said she provided all the necessary documents. I was upfront and honest. I operated in complete transparency and good faith, said Alston-Balaputra. Board Attorney Richard Salkin interjected. She was not granted a leave, and she has not shown up for work. She did not provide the document that the board required. Trustee Kevon Larkins questioned the actions of Superintendent Joseph Abate regarding the case, and Abate swiftly told Larkins to keep quiet. Salkin also reminded the trustees that Alston-Balaputra had secured a full-time position with the Newark school district. When asked if she, in fact, was working in Newark, Alston-Balaputra said, I didnt apply for this job in Newark. I was approached about this interim position. Discussion went on for quite some time regarding the issue with the trustees voicing varying opinions. A motion was made to go into another closed session, but it failed. Mildred Dodson, a city resident, approached the microphone in support of

Leadership Program participants received certificates at the council meeting. By Patti MCNaMaRa The Hackensack City Council took time out of its Sept. 24 meeting to recognize the participants of the citys Leadership Program. Johnson Public Library Director Sharon Castanteen, who organized the program, thanked the council for supporting her and distributed certificates to all the participants. In regular meeting business, City Manager Steve Lo Iacono reported that the Bergen County Utilities Authority had awarded the maximum grant amount of $1,000 to each of the citys schools to run an environmental awareness program. Lo Iacono also announced that the city has issued a new leaf collection schedule and it is available at www. hackensack.org. Finally, Lo Iacono spoke about the bridge that connects Anderson Street to Cedar Lane in Teaneck. The bridge was shut down earlier in the day to certain vehicles based on weight because of a construction project. NJ Transit has advised Lo Iacono that approximately 18 bus routes will be affected by this restriction until the bridge is repaired and the bus stops nearest to the bridge will be out of service. Two resolutions pertaining to the Main Street rehabilitation plan were passed on first reading. The resolutions, according to Mayor Michael Melfi and Councilwoman Karen Sasso, will make it easier for boards to meet with contractors and approve development applications. A committee will be formed which will review all applications and make the whole process easier. A resident complained that there had been five burglaries within a block of the substation recently. Melfi said that he had recently spoken to Padilla and was told that crime in the First Ward, where the substation is located, is actually down. Finally, Phyllis White, a city resident and graduate of the Leadership Program, thanked the council for paving some of the city streets, specifically Summit Avenue. Melfi said a list of the streets in most dire need of paving has been compiled and workers are chipping away at it as money becomes available.

South Hackensack Force Growing A Community Garden Grows in Maywood

Brian Kropp, Justin Zanca, Chief Michael Frew, James Donatello and Gary yannetti. By MiCHaEL CoHEN The South Hackensack Police Department welcomed four new officers to the force during a swearing-in ceremony at the Sept. 10 township committee meeting. This is the beginning of your careers. You will serve South Hackensack for years to come and I think you guys will do a great job for this community, Mayor Gary Brugger said to the foursome - Justin Zanca, James Donatello, Gary Yannetti and Brian Kropp. The search for new officers began last January with 25 applicants vying for the four open slots. Brugger said the township committee put the candidates through a careful examination process that included looking at their volunteer work, military service, previous police experience, computer and language skills. Of those 25 applicants, 13 were interviewed and eight candidates picked out for review. When the council selected the finalists, Police Chief Michel Frew said he was certain the right decisions had been made. They are the total package, Frew said. They always came on time, and they each did a great job. I worked with each of them and watched them grow into great gentlemen. The four officers will begin their police academy training on Oct. 1 and will officially begin their duties in March. In other meeting business, the town recognized the efforts of Busy Bee Jumpers of New Jersey, a Paramus-based bounce house rental firm, and Crazy Ronis for their support of the townships National Night Out Against Crime event last August. Busy Bee Jumpers provided games and activities for the kids, while Ronis donated beverages and candies.

Volunteers including Maywood Mayor Gregg Padovano, borough council members, the Maywood Green team and Home Depot representatives created the new community garden. By Patti MCNaMaRa On Sept. 22, the dream of growing a community garden in an empty Maywood field became a reality thanks to a grant from the Home Depot Foundation. Plans for the West Fairmount Avenue garden were drafted by the Maywood Green Team and submitted to Home Depot by Mayor Gregg Padovano, who requested funding. The plan was approved with Home Depot agreeing to allocate funds to purchase supplies and offer assistance in carrying out the project, according to Yolanda Denson, Lodi store manager. The Home Depot prides itself on making emotional connections with the community and giving back, said Denson. The construction of raised garden beds began with a community-wide effort on this early Saturday morning. Initial plans called for the installation of 10 with the possibility of more being added in the spring. The garden will also be surrounded by a fence. The work was carried out by a group of volunteers comprised of the Maywood Borough Council, the Maywood Green Team and local residents. Young and old came out to help. Children helped by raking mulch or getting supplies to the handymen building the beds and shed, which was also purchased with the grant money. Georgia Piekart, a member of the Maywood Green Team, was ready for some gardening after working all night. I am exhausted, but this is very fulfilling to see our plans come to fruition. The garden beds will be offered to local community organizations such as the schools, Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts to maintain. The ultimate plan, according to Padovano, is to use the garden to educate residents about recycling and going green. It will be up to the discretion of the owners of the beds as to what to plant and grow and how to properly care for them. Padovano said there are other grants available through Sustainable Jersey. This may allow Maywood to expand beyond the garden beds to a tree farm on an adjacent piece of property. Maywood would then be able to grow its own trees to replant around town.

the Legend of oily oliver

told for close to 100 years or something else. As the story goes, a creature nicknamed Oily Olivery first appeared along the railroad tracks that travel through the Fairmount area of Hackensack, River Edge and perhaps parts of New Milford sometime between 1918 and 1922. From the oil barrels along the railroad tracks, this oily individual would emerge and then run along the tracks only to disappear into the darkness. No one was ever attacked or physically injured during those sightings but all were warned to be on the lookout. His repeated appearances always coincided when the moon was full. Some described him as something two-legged while others said that, although he looked human, he crawled on four legs. Some said Oily Oliver appeared to be a man and others said they saw a woman. Although the physical descriptions changed, the series of events were always the same. Oliver would jump out of one of those oil barrels near the tracks and scamper along the tracks dripping of oil as he ran away. From those initial reports dating back to the 1920s, the sightings and investigation into Oily Oliver persisted for several years and then seemed to be just forgotten. There were two people who were suspected to be Oily Oliver, but the accusations were never proven. I wonder if what I overheard that recent day was just a discussion of the strange phenomenon of Oily Oliver as being part of our local heritage or if they had spotted Oily Oliver along the tracks. Who knows? Happy Halloween! Barbara J. Gooding is a creative and historical writer who resides in Hackensack. The memoirs of George M. Scudder contributed to this report.

the kids had fun while Chad Callis and Pop Love (lower right) cooked lunch at Carver Park. By JULiaNN WEStoN The tradition of getting families together to enjoy games, food and community camaraderie continued as the Hackensack African-American Civic Association celebrated its third annual Back-toSchool Family Day on Saturday, Sept. 22 in Carver Park. The cloudy and windy afternoon didnt stop children from flowing into the park to enjoy basketball, arts and crafts, tug-o-war, obstacle course, bouncing balls, live music and more to properly kick off the fall season. Away from the iPhones, iPads and video games, children and teens relished in good old-fashioned fun to the sounds of pop, jazz, R&B and hip hop music spun by DJ Milton Rev Jones. The days menu was comprised of fried fish, chicken and French fries. Donovan Hines, 11, was thrilled at the chance to play in the days basketball tournament. I love basketball and want to play when I grow up. There was a basketball grudge match between a group of Hackensack High School players and the HAACA alumni and performances by steppers, dancers and solos by Hackensack resident Yazmine Brown and artist Vance Lewis. Earl Warden, a longtime Hackensack resident and youth leader, was eager to show off his basketball skills. If its for the kids, Im in it, he said. HAACA regularly sponsors healthy activities that encourage family togetherness, cultural pride and social awareness. Free events such as the family day, a hip hop summit and arts and film festival are made possible through donations. For this event, Costco distributed $10 gift cards to apply toward the discount clubs membership and donated juice and Gatorade. Blanche Candi Stuart, the events chairwoman, said the entire community can benefit from the organization. HAACA is not just an African-American organization. Its open to the entire community, she said. We have a lot of things planned for 2013, and were still trying to build our membership, added Jonathan Gilmore, the groups president.

Legionnaires Vow to Never Forget

By Patti MCNaMaRa As its members have done for the past 10 years, Rochelle Park American Legion Post 170 hosted its 9-11 Remembrance Ceremony on Sept. 11 at its post house on Passaic Street where hundreds gathered to pay their respect to the lives lost. As residents filed into the pavilion on this warm September night, the faces of many still reflected the pain caused by terrorists just across the river from this small suburban town. Rochelle Park was not untouched by the horrific acts. Eleven years ago, the township lost two of its own, the Rev. Mychal Judge and Richard Bruce Van Hine. Legionnaire Bob Salvini opened the ceremony by introducing the Honor Guard and the Blue Chip Chorus of Bergen County, which performed the national anthem. As in past years, the ceremonious Striking of the Four Fives was carried out in honor of departed comrades. As the Rev. Kevin Coffey, the fire departments chaplain, struck the bell, heads hung low as the sound echoed through the pavilion with each strike. The bell tolled for Judge, Van Hine and the 341 other departed members of fire
the ceremonial Striking of the Four Fives by the Rev. Kevin Coffey. departments who perished 11 years ago. Salvini reminded those gathered at the ceremony that of the 2,750 people who died at the World Trade Center, only 1,630 have been identified. That is why we are here tonight. We will never forget. Mayor Ken Kovalcik recited a poem about 9-11. What caused others to hate so much? he read. Kovalcik reminded all attendees that a memorial is still being planned to incorporate the piece of steel that Rochelle Park received from the World Trade Center. God bless Rochelle Park and God bless America, he said. A police bagpiper stationed at the rear of the pavilion played Amazing Grace as tears streamed down the faces of some audience members. Current and past members of the different branches of the U.S. Armed Forces were asked to stand when the Blue Chip Chorus sang a medley of military songs in honor of each branch. Sept. 11 is a day set aside to remember those lost and those who fought for our freedom, said Coffey. A rifle salute followed the Blue Chip Chorus rendition of Let There Be Peace on Earth. A lone bugler in the distance played Taps before the ceremony came to a close to the sounds of God Bless America.

Maris Market: Mediterranean Flavors on Main

Maris Market grand opening was attended by Mayor Michael Melfi, Deputy Mayor Marlin townes, City Manager Steve Lo iacono and Hackensack chamber members. Maris Market, a Mediterranean specialties shop on Hackensacks Main Street, celebrated its official grand opening on Sept. 13 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony officiated by Mayor Michael Melfi. Members of the city council and the Hackensack Regional Chamber of Commerce were on hand to extend their congratulations to the husband-andwife proprietor team of Marie-Rose and Davit Arakelian. The couple owned a similar market, Arek Mediterranean, in River Edge for more than 13 years before a tragic fire destroyed the store. Once the Arakelians decided to open another business, they embarked on an exhausting 14-month search for the perfect spot before selecting Main Street in Hackensack. We were nervous to make this kind of move, but everyone in Hackensack has been very welcoming, said Marie-Rose Arakelian. Since unofficially opening its doors in August, Maris Market has not only made loyal customers out of local residents and those who work in the city, others are traveling from as far as South Jersey and Upstate New York for an authentic taste of the Mediterranean. The market offers specialties from the 21 countries that surround the Mediterranean Sea such as Italy, France, Spain, Greece, Turkey and Lebanon to name a few. There are freshly prepared foods as well as ingredients necessary to make a homemade meal. One of the biggest hits so far is lahmajun, an open face meat pie. It is spicy and savory, said Bill Diminno, a Hackensack resident. For breakfast, there are bagels and coffee, and lunchtime offers pita sandwiches as well as a salad bar set up daily with a variety of grains and vegetables. Those with a sweet tooth have a selection of pastries including the markets famous baklava. Maris Market is located at 331 Main St., Hackensack and can be reached at 201-880-0076. The market is open from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. daily.

Hackensack High Schools Lemar thomas moves the ball up the field. By MiCHaEL CoHEN The Hackensack High School Comets are back, and they mean business. Three games into the still young 2012 season and three games into the Benji Wimberly coaching era, the Comets football team not only stands at 2-1 but is proving to be a team to be reckoned with. During the home game on Sept. 21, the Comets upset once unbeaten Ridgewood High School in a thrilling 2721 comeback. Led by two second-half touchdown runs by quarterback Brandon Davis, who took over under center in the third quarter, Hackensack erased a 21-14 halftime deficit. I am sky high right now, Wimberly said during the post-game celebration with his team in the locker room. This is the type of victory that puts a program back on track. The Comets got off to a sizzling start as Hackensack opened the game with a long 10 play 80-yard drive that culminated in a one-yard plunge by fullback Reco Facey. The Comets were led by running back Lemar Thomas, who had seven carries for 64 yards on the drive, including a 25-yard burst that set up shop at the Ridgewood 43-yard line. With Hackensack leading 6-0, Ridgewood went right to their own ground-and-pound game, pushing the trio of Jake Sabatini, Tim Bonanno and Jack Foresman through the Hackensack front seven with tremendous success in the first half. The key to their first scoring drive of the night was Bonannos 55-yard run, moving the ball from the Ridgewood 25-yard line to the Hackensack 30. Later in the drive, Bonanno sprinted through the line for a fiveyard score, giving Ridgewood a 7-6 lead. It wouldnt take long for Hackensack to answer. With seven seconds to go in the first quarter, Thomas found a seam on his right and broke free. He dodged two linebackers and a safety, as he sprinted past the Ridgewood defense for a 79-yard touchdown, run giving Hackensack a 14-7 lead. Even though they were down again, the Ridgewood Maroons wasted little time turning this game completely around. Ridgewood quarterback Jamal Locke connected with wide receiver Connor Van Caugherty for 19 yards to move the football into Comet territory. From there, Foresman and Bonanno took over, pounding the rock for 23 more yards before Foresman finished off the drive with a two-yard touchdown run to tie it. Soon, Hackensacks offense went limp. They went three and out on their three series in the second quarter. Ridgewoods defensive front pressured Hackensack quarterback Zenal Aga and stuffed Thomas on the ground. Before halftime, Ridgewood took full control as Foresman scored his second touchdown of the day, this one an eight-yard sprint to give Ridgewood a 21-14 lead at the half. We had to tackle better. I told our seniors, What do you want your legacy to be? Wimberly said. In the second half, Hackensack came out with a new mentality. They sacked Locke twice and forced him to throw in tight coverage on the run. The Comets tackling was more crisp, their speed faster. With Hackensack still trailing by seven, Wimberly pulled a trick play. He had the up man on punts, Mark Jones, take the snap from center and run for 16 yards for a first down. The play gave Hackensack new life, and quarterback Brandon Davis made Ridgewood pay when he scored on a 12-yard quarterback keeper to tie the game at 21. After Ridgewood missed a potential go-ahead field goal late in the fourth quarter, Davis found speedy wide receiver Justin Wimberly, the coachs son, all alone in the flat. He dumped it off to him, and the former Don Bosco Prep product took over, sprinting down the sideline for a 73-yard run to the Ridgewood 29-yard line. Two plays later, Davis decided the keep the football, broke free of a couple tacklers and was gone for a 21yard touchdown run to give Hackensack the lead. I trusted my blockers, and they led me through the lane until I scored, Davis said. Hackensack cornerback Omar Bailey gave the hometown fans even more reason to cheer when he stepped in front of a pass by Locke and picked it off to ice the game. Final score, Hackensack 27, Ridgewood 21.
Bank Helps Keep Seniors Safe

Thanks to Community Bank of Bergen County, residents of the Maywood Center for Health and Rehabilitation will live in a safer and even more secure environment. Community Bank recently joined the Senior Housing Crime Prevention Foundation and is funding the Senior Crimestoppers program for those residing in this care facility. SHCPF is a national organization that serves as a conduit for banks to use to fulfill their federally mandated Community Reinvestment Act requirements through providing aid to low and moderate income individuals in their local community. Senior Crimestoppers is a coordinated set of components that work together to create a zero tolerance to crime platform in senior housing facilities. Components include personal lockboxes for the residents, cash rewards up to $1,000 paid anonymously for information about wrongdoing of any kind, and effective, on-going education and training for staff members and residents. Senior Crimestoppers has reduced all aspects of crime in participating facilities by 92 percent. Senior Crimestoppers is a way for an administrator to further enhance the lives of the residents they serve. They all work very hard to provide safe, secure, comfortable living environments and their desire to implement the program is just one more example of this. Implementing this program does not mean that the facility currently has a crime problem, but that the administrator is proactively finding a way to keep problems from occurring in the future, said Terry Rooker, president, Senior Crimestoppers. Community Bank of Bergen County is pleased to participate in the Senior Crimestoppers program with the Maywood Center. Caring for the local residents has always been our priority and to provide outstanding customer service and support to our local communities, said Peter Michelotti, president and CEO of Community Bank. For more information about Senior Crimestoppers call 800-529-9096 or visit www.seniorcrimestoppers.org.
Hackensack Police Department Seeking Public Comments

A team of assessors from the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police will arrive on Oct. 14 to examine all aspects of the Hackensack Police Departments policies and procedures, management, operations and support services, Interim Chief Tomas Padilla announced. Verification by the team means that the Hackensack Police Department meets the commissions best practice standards. It is part of a voluntary process to achieve accreditation, a highly prized recognition of law enforcement professional excellence, Padilla said. As part of the on-site assessment, agency employees and members of the community are invited to offer comments by calling 201-6467777, ext. 2549 on Monday, Oct. 15 between 9 and 11 a.m. Telephone comments are limited to five minutes and must address the agencys ability to comply with the NJSACOP standards. A copy of the standards is available for inspection at the Hackensack Police Department, 225 State St. The local contact is Lt. Richard Levis, who can be reached at 201-646-7591. Anyone wishing to offer written comments about the Hackensack Police Departments ability to comply with the standards for accreditation should send letters to the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police, Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission at One Greentree Centre, Suite 201, Marlton, N.J. 08053. The Hackensack Police Department must comply with 112 standards in order to achieve accredited status. Accreditation results in greater accountability within the agency, reduced risk and liability exposure, stronger defense against civil law-
suits, increased community advocacy, and more confidence in the agencys ability to operate efficiently and respond to community needs, Padilla said. The accreditation program manager for the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police is Harry Delgado. The assessment team is composed of law enforcement practitioners from similar New Jersey law enforcement agencies, he explained. The assessors will review written materials, interview agency members, and visit offices and other places where compliance with the standards can be observed. Once the commissions assessors complete their review of the agency, they will report to the full commission, which will then decide if the agency is to be granted accredited status. Accreditation is valid for a three-year period.

Bergen Zoo Gains accreditation

The Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA) recently announced that the Bergen County Zoo was granted accreditation by the agencys independent Accreditation Commission. Only zoos and aquariums that meet the highest standards are accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, said AZA President and CEO Jim Maddy. The community should take great pride in knowing that the Bergen County Zoo is ranked among the best zoos and aquariums in the world. Bergen County Executive Kathleen Donovan said she was delighted to receive the news. It gives me great pride to live in a county that not only enjoys an outstanding park system but also a gem of a zoo. This is a direct result of the fine efforts from our park employees and the support of its patrons, she said. To become accredited, the Bergen County Zoo underwent a thorough review to ensure it has and will continue to meet ever-rising standards, which include animal care, veterinary programs, conservation, education and safety. AZA requires zoos and aquariums to successfully complete this rigorous accreditation process every five years in order to be members of the Association. The Bergen County Zoo is a leader in the care and conservation of wildlife, and in educating people about the natural world, Maddy added. Rachel Roberts, a nurse stationed at the Bergen County jail in Hackensack earned the Certified Corrections Nurse (CCN) designation from the American Correctional Association on July 12. Applicants qualify on the basis of their experience and accomplishment in the field of corrections and nursing. They must then successfully complete a comprehensive examination that tests their knowledge as nurses in the correctional setting.

Students planting a healthy garden at Paramus Catholic. Students at Paramus Catholic High School are sowing the seeds of a healthier community. Roughly 20 students in Paramus Catholics Environmental Science Club spent the last few months planning, planting, and cultivating a garden with 240 different plants and herbs at the school. Their efforts have already produced a bountiful harvest of more than 600 pounds of fresh vegetables and herbs, which will be donated to local community organizations and used for school lunches in the cafeteria. James Mulligan, an environmental science teacher, is the clubs moderator. Our students have learned so many important lessons from planning and cultivating this garden. They learned about agriculture, math, health, nutrition, community service, and so much more, he said. From diagramming the garden and calculating the yield, to tilling the soil, installing the sprinkler system and fence, and planting the seeds, the kids worked tirelessly throughout the spring and even over their summer break. Their hard work paid off with this bountiful harvest, and Im proud that our entire community will get to reap the benefits.
Students from Paramus High School, as well as East Brook and West Brook middle schools joined the boroughs band and chorus members at Times Square in Manhattan on Sept. 12 for the Goody Bag Exchange. The students presented 1,000 goody bags to members of the Fire Department of New York as a thank you for their efforts
on Sept. 11 and every day. The Paramus group also marked a milestone, the distribution of more than 250,000 bags to American troops over the past few years. Operation Goody Bag began at East Brook and has been a major part of the school districts support for American troops and local first responders.

Police Briefs
teaneck Man Captured Two Teaneck men have been arrested by Bergen County Prosecutors Office detectives and charged with a string of drug, weapons and assault charges. The investigation began when county detectives learned that a Cedar Lane man identified as Durelle Whitening and his neighbor, Anthony Trumpet, were allegedly selling drugs. As a result of this information, detectives made undercover purchases of crack/cocaine and marijuana from both Whitening, 28, and Trumpet, 31. On Sept. 10, county investigators met with Teaneck police officers who had already been investigating Whitenings alleged involvement in an aggravated assault and shooting which occurred at 4:56 a.m. on Sept. 9 near the intersection of Congress Avenue and Route 4 in Teaneck. The initial investigation, conducted by members of the Teaneck Police Department, revealed that Whitening brandished a handgun and fired a shot into a womans car. A fragmented bullet was recovered by Teaneck detectives from the victims vehicle, and it was processed by the Bergen County Sheriffs Office. As a result of the shooting and narcotics investigations, detectives obtained courtauthorized search warrants for both mens homes in an effort to locate the weapon used in the shooting. At Whitenings home, handgun ammunition was located and seized. The execution of the search warrant at Trumpets home resulted in the seizure of marijuana, drug distribution paraphernalia, a defaced sawed-off shotgun with a pistol grip, one .25 caliber revolver, a 9mm semi-automatic handgun and a bag of ammunition for each weapon. Whitening and Trumpet have been charged by the Bergen County Prosecutors Office with numerous drug and weapons offenses. Whitening was transported to the Bergen County jail, unable to post $50,000 bail. Trumpet remains at large and warrants have been issued for his arrest. Teaneck police have additionally charged Whitening with aggravated assault and various weapons offenses, reports said. Dealer Surrenders On Sept. 14, the Maywood Police Department arrested Matthew Finn of Swan Lake, N.Y., for being in possession of more than one pound of marijuana and are currently searching for his suspected dealer, reports said. Finn was seen leaving a Maywood Avenue home that was under police surveillance for suspected drug activity. At that point, Maywood police obtained a search warrant for the homes second floor apartment. There officers seized more than $7,000 in cash and a .357 caliber pistol loaded with hollow point bullets. Officers also discovered marijuana, LSD, psilocybin mushrooms, ecstasy, cocaine, crystal methamphetamine and other unidentified drugs. Aylin Kartalyan, one of the homes residents, was charged with drug distribution and drug possession. She posted a $25,000 bond and was released. Adam Wraga, another tenant, remained on the lam for more than a week until he turned himself in at his lawyers office in Orange on Sept. 25 to face drug and weapon charges stemming from the execution of the search warrant. Maywood police, with the assistance of Detective Ken Dyson of the Bergen County Sheriffs Office (currently on loan to the U.S. Marshals Service) picked up Wraga and transported him to Maywood police headquarters for processing. Wraga was then remanded to the Bergen County jail on $210,000 bail. Witness Cracks Case At approximately 10:36 a.m. on Sept. 17, Sgt. Rob Escobar of the Bergen County Police Department was on patrol near the Palisades Park section of Overpeck County Park when he was flagged down by an elderly man. He reported that two suspicious men were peering into parked vehicles in the ShopRite parking lot. Escobar quickly spotted the suspects sitting inside a 2007 Chrysler 300. With the assistance of Police Officer Salvatore LoCascio, Escobar searched the vehicle and arrested Edison Vergara, 41, of Weehawken and Porfirio Paredes, 44, of Hazelton, Pa. They were charged with possession of three fraudulently obtained U.S. Treasury Department checks totaling $24,700. Further investigation revealed that the names on the checks all belonged to residents of Puerto Rico who had their social security numbers stolen and had fictitious federal tax returns filed in their names. Federal agencies were already investigating the case. The suspects were transferred over to the custody of members of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, IRS and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security pending federal criminal charges. Worker Scammed Boss At approximately 3:45 p.m. on Sept. 19, Jung Pak, 47, of Palisades Park, was arrested by the Bergen County Police Department and charged with theft by deception, passing bad checks and identity theft. Police said Pak, a former employee at Yamato Sushi in Teterboro, allegedly defrauded the owners of $91,200 by promising to negotiate contracts with fish vendors and several area supermarkets to which he had no affiliation. Pak also wrote the owners two bad checks totaling $20,000, which bounced. Furthermore, Pak allegedly stole the business owners identity and paid his personal cell phone bill by using the owners bank account information to fraudulently write a bad check in the amount of $231.59. Pak is on probation for similar offenses, officials said. He was arrested by Bergen County Detective Brian Rock with the assistance of the Bergen County Probation Office when he reported for a regularly scheduled meeting with his probation officer. Because Pak is a native of South Korea and considered a flight risk, he was not given a 10 percent bail option and was remanded to the Bergen County jail in lieu posting $100,000 full bond. Heroin, Jewelry Found On Sept. 24, the Maywood Police Department arrested Shaun Puzak, 22, of Rochelle Park, and Joshua Obidzinski, 21, of Little Ferry, for burglary and theft and conspiracy to commit burglary and theft, respectively. Rochelle Park received a call reporting suspicious people near the railroad tracks, and officers quickly spotted Puzak and Obidzinski. They were both allegedly in possession of heroin. They were also found carrying jewelry that was traced to a West Magnolia Avenue home in Maywood that had been burglarized. Puzak and Obidzinski were turned over to the Maywood police for processing, reports said.

As the shouting became louder and louder, BolcikMcKenna banged the gavel loudly to restore order. Do you want to look at me a different way? BolcikMcKenna asked a steelyeyed Larkins. Dont try to intimidate me. Abate also leaned into Larkins. You need to go to new member orientation because some of what you say is coming from left field.

At approximately 2:45 p.m. on Sept. 26, Bergen County Police Officer Sara Toro responded to investigate a report of road rage in parking lot B at Bergen Community College in Paramus. Upon arrival, Toro spoke with the victim, a limo driver who had dropped off passengers at the campus. The victim said he had mistakenly entered the parking lot traveling in the wrong direction when he came into the path of another vehicle.
An argument ensued between the victim and the male driver of the second vehicle, and both men exited their vehicles. During the argument, the driver of the second vehicle, later identified as Seryy Alejsiy, 20 of Fair Lawn, allegedly spit in the face of the victim and struck him in the left side of his head. The victim went back to his vehicle to leave when the actor produced a wooden baseball bat and struck the trunk of the victims vehicle. The victim said
he was not injured and refused medical attention. The victim provided a description of the suspect and his vehicle, and he was located elsewhere on campus and placed under arrest. Alejsiy, a student at Bergen, was charged with simple assault and criminal mischief.

to the Bergen County Court House in Hackensack. Vehicles in this lot are owned by jurors, persons appearing in court, attorneys and other individuals with business in the court house. Carrion was assigned to the Homeland Security Unit of the Bergen County Sheriffs Office and was performing perimeter duty when he noticed the suspects behavior. The suspect, identified as Calvin Glover, 56, of Paterson, was seen entering one of the cars after failing to enter a series of others, police said. Glover was stopped by Carrion and found to be in possession of items belonging to the vehicles owner. I would like to congratulate Officer Carrion for his efforts in protecting the property and patrons of the Bergen County Court House, Bergen County, Sheriff Michael Saudino said. These are people who take time out of their lives to serve a civic duty and should not have to worry about crimes being committed against them while they are here. Glover was charged with auto burglary.

Alexander Anderson Real Estate Group is inviting potential developers and local merchants to attend a special event, The Rebuilding of Downtown Hackensack, at the former bank building 170 Main St. on Thursday, Oct. 18 from 5 to 9 p.m. Alexander Anderson, a boutique firm with offices in Hackensack and Jersey City, is owned by Eric Anderson and Corrado Belgiovine, who have been selling commercial and residential real estate for more than a decade. The evening will serve as an opportunity for developers to learn about the plan to revitalize downtown Hackensack to encourage mixeduse development. Main Street and the surrounding downtown are going to provide Northern New Jersey with new retail choices, comfortable apartment homes and a bevy of cultural and food related selections, said Anderson. Learning about the small and large business opportunities available right now is key to getting in on the ground floor and being established as the district grows. The event will feature wine, hors doeuvres and music and is open to developers. Developers and business owners are going to love getting a peek into one of Hackensacks hottest undeveloped available buildings, Anderson said. But dont worry, were providing hard hats for guests as they network, learn about mixed-use development and explore 170 Main St. with wine glasses in hand.
