Santos retreats on F/T KEARNY – Don’t blame some members of the Kearny governing body for holding more than one public job – they’re simply showing their skills at multitasking. That’s the contention of Mayor Alberto Santos, who doubles as the clerk to the Hudson County Board of Freeholders. Santos’ comments, made at the April 28 mayor/Town Council meeting, came in the context of his defense of why Kearny elected officials – as “full-time” employees – should be entitled to collect state health benefits if they are so inclined – including the “newbies” elected to the council since the state health benefit law was amended in 2010 mandating local contributions by employees. At that meeting, the mayor and Town Council voted for the introduction of an ordinance “declaring the members of the Town’s governing body to be full-time elective officers ….” A public hearing on the ordinance was slated for May 12 but Santos told The Observer last week he would ask the council to pull the ordinance

It’s the cat’s meow! By Karen Zautyk Observer Correspondent

KEARNY – Last year, this community was embroiled in a cat fight. The claws were out. The fur was flying. And various other feline-related metaphors. The source of the

controversy was the feeding of colonies of feral cats by members of Kearny’s colony of humans. Luckily, sanity -- and governmental intervention -- prevailed. Under an ordinance adopted by the Town Council in November, Kearny established a Trap/Neuter/Return

KPD: Heroin raid on Elm St. Pursuant to an ongoing investigation into heroin distribution in Kearny, KPD vice officers, armed with a search warrant, raided an apartment on the 400 block of Elm St. shortly after 8:30 a.m. last Thursday, May 7. In the residence, the detectives reportedly seized 40 glassine folds of heroin, 15 packages of Suboxone, two digital scales and “numerous” empty glassine folds. Arrested was Ryan Decker, 25, of Kearny, on charges of possession of both drugs, possession with intent to distribute, possession in a school zone and possession with intent in a park zone. His bail was set at $10,000. ••• Other recent reports from the Kearny police blotter included the following:

••• At 8:45 p.m., Officer Daniel Esteves pulled over a 2012 Dodge pickup, bearing Illinois plates, for failing to signal a turn at Kearny and Bergen Aves.

Police said the driver, Krzysztof Burdzy, 30, of Garfield, produced an expired N.J. license, an expired insurance card, but no registration card. A DMV inquiry reportedly revealed that his license was suspended

and that he had a $500 traffic warrant from Garfield. He was charged on the warrant, and for the aforementioned MV violations, plus failure to surrender a suspended license. -- Karen Zautyk

Bridge-related work in park nears end HARRISON – he bridge wasn’t high enough so they lowered the road. That turned out to be the solution for an engineering design dilemma facing Hudson County when officials were planning improvements to the single span arch Davis Ave. bridge in West Hudson Park. For the project to proceed, County Engineer Demetrio Arencibia had to find a way to comply with a state Department of Transportation regulation that mandates a clearance of 14.6 feet under vehicular spans to allow enough room for the passage of trucks and heavy duty vehicles, county spokesman Jim Ken

county spokesman James Kennelly explained. To solve the problem, Arencibia and his staff concluded that the contractor should excavate and lower the roadway beneath the bridge by about a foot so that when the bridge was rebuilt, there would be adequate space, Kennelly said. But the job was delayed several months because PSE&G had to first relocate and reroute a gas main that ran under the roadway, Kennelly said. During the construction, vehicular traffic had to be detoured away from the Davis Ave. entrance to the park, which straddles the Kearny/ Harrison border, causing grief

for rush-hour motorists. Traffic continues to be detoured off Davis Ave. Last week, the county alerted area residents that milling and paving of Davis/Wood-

land Aves., from the west side of the bridge to Devon St. in the park, was scheduled between May 12 and 14. To date, billings submitted by the general contractor, A-

There will be vigils and ceremonies all week, but the culmination will come on Friday, May 15, Peace Officers Memorial Day -- so designated in 1962 by President John F. Kennedy. The focal point will be the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, which bears the names of more than 20,000 men and women -federal, state, county and local officers -- who have died in the line of duty since 1791, the year of the first such recorded death in the U.S. This year, to that monument will be added 117 names: 117 American officers who died in 2014 enforcing the law, protecting and serving the public -- you and me and those we love.

Man attacked in park; arrest made

meeting of a young man and woman in a municipal park was interrupted by an attack last Tuesday night, Nutley PD said. Police were called, at 11:45 p.m., by the parent of an 18-year-old Passaic Park man who told officers he was the victim of an assault while he was in Nichols Park and, afterwards, was taken to Hackensack Hospital Medical Center where he was interviewed by police. The young man told officers he was spending time there with a 16-year-old Nutley girl when he was attacked with a log and branches, threatened and robbed of his clothes. After further investigation, a few days after the incident, detectives arrested 22-year-old Seandell Stark of Paramus on charges of aggravated assault, possession of a weapon for unlawful purpose and terroristic threats. Bail was set at $50,000. Police believe that the girl lured the victim to the park where Stark allegedly was hiding and waiting and that the two men had a history and

knew each other. Police Chief Thomas Strumolo commended the actions of the investigating officers and Mayor/Police Director Alphonse Petracco said he welcomed the news that the victim was recovering. ••• In other incidents between May 2 and 8, Nutley PD responded to 25 motor vehicle accidents, 50 medical calls, 12 disputes and these matters: May 2 A Wharton Ave. resident reported finding their west side basement window open, lock unlatched and the window shattered. Police observed damage to a vehicle parked in the driveway next to the window, possibly caused by a metal object, but noticed no damage to the interior and no entry made. ••• A shoplifter walked out of a Harrison St. store with $150.56 worth of merchandise, police said.

Along with updated kitchens and age-in-place features, today’s buyers place a high priority on energy efficiency. Sellers can use this buyer preference point to their advantage by getting an “energy audit.” This means having a professional check the home for energy leaks, which can lead to recommendations for upgrades and fixes. If the home is deemed to be energy efficient, the seller can use the fact as a selling point. On the other hand, if upgrades are needed, sellers can begin with the most cost-efficient recommendations (such as sealing foundation leaks). Pointing out the improvements to prospective buyers shows that the

MARiNELLI from

Lyndhurst district spends. Little Falls BOE President Janine Barone said that Marinelli was picked from 59 applicants for her “wealth of experience” as an educator on all levels, and “very strong in curriculum.” “You can tell she is a hands-

on leader with a real can-do attitude,” Barone said. In the board’s interviews with Marinelli, it became evident, Barone said, that Marinelli “had it all – everything in one package” and someone “who will lead us into the future.” Marinelli, 37, who grew up in Lyndhurst, taught in the public school system and rose to be-

come assistant superintendent and then superintendent after the retirement of Joseph Abate, said she felt “a sadness leaving a place that has been my home – it’s a piece of who I am,” but declined to say why she was departing prematurely, given that her five-year contract runs through June 30, 2018. Marinelli said she hopes that

as part of her Lyndhurst legacy, she’ll be remembered for “always thinking of the kids of Lyndhurst first” and for “having treated people with respect and kindness.” Lyndhurst Board of Education President Christopher Musto said that Marinelli’s action caught him off guard and only learned officially about her Little Falls appointment, the morning after when Marinelli “contacted the board attorney and submitted her letter of resignation.” Musto said the school board would be asked to formally accept her resignation May 11. How will the board treat the time remaining on her contract? “She resigned voluntarily so that voids the rest of her contract,” Musto said. Asked to assess Marinelli’s tenure in Lyndhurst, Musto said: “We’ve made some strides. We’ve had some challenges and some successes. I wish her well. Now we need to look to the future, to our new school and focus our energies on that.” “I’m excited to begin my new journey with Little Falls,” Marinelli said, noting that, “they’re going through a referendum this year.” Twice during her tenure in Lyndhurst, Marinelli helped spearhead plans for referenda, one keyed to construction of a new middle school and another for revamping school space to provide science labs and other upgrades. Voters, however, turned down both proposals at the polls. Now, however, Lyndhurst’s school trustees and township commissioners have joined forces to retain consultants and move forward with a plan to tear down the century-old Lincoln Elementary School and build a new school on Matera Field. And there are tentative plans for yet another

referendum later this year for $10 million in improvements designed to enhance academic and vocational offerings for students. Asked to list her achievements as superintendent, Marinelli mentioned: • “transition kindergarten” for kids needing extra support in moving from pre-K to K. •implementing 4th/5th grade choir and band and multiple layers of music district-wide. • structuring “shared time” programs with South Bergen Jointure Commission, Lincoln Tech and Bergen Community College. • restoring college fairs at the high school. • redistricting to create a “middle school-like environment” for grades 4 to 8. • creating a boys’ volleyball program. • implementing technological advances such as acquiring iPads for high school students. • providing new electives for grades 6, 7 and 8, centralized third-grade campus and Lighthouse program for general/special education kids. Marinelli acknowledged that in terms of the district’s academic performance on standardized tests, “there were some indicators [proficiency levels] that were missed,” and said the district introduced a “new reading series,” a revised math program and brought Algebra 1 to grade 8. And, she said, a district staff committee “has put together a remedial task force” to review student weaknesses in language arts and math “for all grade levels” and recommend strategies for improvements. “I want to say how much I appreciate the Lyndhurst school staff for their dedication to the students and I want them to know I will always think fondly of them,” she said.

BENEFITS from in light of the state’s threat to withhold transitional aid for 2015 if the town adopted it. In a May 1 letter to Santos, Timothy J. Cunningham, director of the state Div. of Local Government Services, advised Santos that the town’s elected officials are “part-time” employees and, as such, are not entitled to state health insurance benefits. Cunningham wrote, in part, that, “Under the health benefit reforms instituted by Gov. Christie [enacted] in May 2010, only full-time elected officials and appointed officials [who work at least 35 hours a week] are eligible for … coverage under the State Health Benefits Program,” except for those officials elected prior to 2010 who are “grandfathered” in. Cunningham added: “It would be difficult for an elected official to devote over 35 hours a week to municipal business while maintaining full-time employment elsewhere. A cursory review of the Town’s website indicates that the majority of the municipal council maintains full-time employment outside of the Town (some in government positions).” Moreover, Cunningham maintained, the agreement Kearny signed with the state to receive transitional aid “clearly states” that parttime elected officials are not eligible for state health care benefits. If Kearny were to adopt the ordinance, “the Division will take immediate steps to nullify the MOU and rescind transitional aid payments … for … 2015,” Cunningham said. Kearny received $2.5 million in Transitional Aid for 2014 – and was assigned a state fiscal monitor in the process – but it has yet to learn whether it will be getting any aid for this year. So, the mayor said he would be asking the council to withdraw the proposed legislation – despite a ringing justification offered for it at last month’s meeting when Town Attorney Greg Castano said that under the state statute, a municipality “could define the parameters” of full-time employment for its elective officials. “We looked over what a

council member does – you can do it by looking at the code governing their duties, the commemorative events they attend, the committees they serve on, and I can clearly and honestly say that a member of this council will have spent 35 hours a week on the job,” Castano said. And while they’re “not expected to put in a time sheet every week, they do meet the ‘full-time’ statutory requirements,” the attorney added. Santos added: “It’s not just the two [mayor and council] meetings a month,” he said. “It’s responding to constituents’ calls, committee and board meetings, as well as the ceremonial aspects. Anyone who says this job is part-time is mistaken …. “As a response to this state’s highest officials’ criticism of ‘double-’ and tripledippers’, yes, most of us sitting up here do more than one job and that’s because we’re capable of doing more than one job. We put in many hours. We’re at agenda meetings that sometimes never end. This ordinance is the right thing to do.” To say that local elective officials should be denied health benefits is simply wrong-headed, Santos said. Pay rates have been “frozen for a half-century” in Kearny: a council member’s salary has remained unchanged at $6,000 a year and the mayor’s, at $7,500. Moreover, Santos said, “We’re talking about who you want to represent you. If being of service is going to be [regarded as] a cost to you, you’re not going to attract the people you need for this job.” In New Jersey, private insurance premiums in New Jersey can cost anywhere from about $15,000 to $30,000 a year, depending on the type of coverage. Public workers in New Jersey’s state health benefits program must pay a fixed percentage of their premium cost keyed to their salary and type of plan, ranging from a low of 3% of the premium cost for people making less than $25,000 a year to a high of 35% for those earning more than $110,000 for family coverage. Councilwoman Susan McCurrie, who chairs the council’s ordinance committee, echoed the mayor’s concern

about depriving officials an opportunity for benefits as a vehicle for dissuading dedicated residents from running for office.

“There’s a potential to limit the class of candidates serving Kearny,” McCurrie said. “That would be doing a disservice to the citizens of

this town.” However, in light of the state’s threat to cut off transee BENEFITS page

CATS from Our guides on the tour were the local TNR administrator Len Twist and his top assistant Kathy DeRay. Twist, who has a professional management background, said he organized and runs the volunteer project using a business model. Under the TNR ordinance, colonies are registered, records (numbers, gender, spaying/ neutering, vaccinations, etc.) are kept, and regular reports are provided to the Kearny Health Department. The volunteers have their specific assignments. “There are 23 regular caregivers, each with his or her own colony,” Twist said. (He and DeRay are in charge of several colonies each.) Their tasks include not only providing food and water, but also winter shelters. “The caregivers ‘buddy up,’ so if someone is sick (or going out of town), there will still be someone to care for the colony,” Twist explained. The largest colony, about 34 cats, is located in an industrial area off Schuyler Ave. Its “members” come and go from their beats in the meadowlands -- so don’t imagine 34 cats just

sitting around all day in one big pack waiting for food and water. DeRay noted that the businesses in the area don’t mind the colony at all. “No rats!” she said. No mice either, probably. But TNR, of course, is about more than regular feeding. Humane traps are set up near the colonies, and are checked on a regular basis. When a cat is caught, the TNR people call Bergen County Animal Control (which is Kearny’s contracted animal-control service) and are given a number to ID the feline. Then Twist drives the

cat to Twin Oaks veterinary hospital in Teaneck. The cat’s health is checked -- a few, alas, have had to be euthanized -- it is spayed or neutered and vaccinated, and its ear is “tipped,” to indicate it has been fixed and treated, DeRay explained. (All the expenses are already covered as part of the town’s contract with the Bergen County agency, which also trains the caregivers.) Next stop is the “recovery center” in South Kearny -and that is a story in itself. A businesswoman named Wendy Neu, who owns a considerable

amount of land out there, has graciously donated space in a warehouse for use by the Kearny caregivers. TNR volunteer Linda Smigelski oversees the center, where the cats spend several days both recovering from their surgery and being evaluated. Those that can be “socialized” are put up for adoption via various pet stores or organizations; the absolutely feral are returned to their colony (healthy but incapable of breeding.) Some of the cats are already “socialized.” They obviously were housecats whose owners

just dumped them on the streets or in the meadows. (Editor’s note: It’s not only cats that are “feral.”) Smigelski is at the center daily, and DeRay and Twist visit at least once a day to help clean the cages and the litter boxes. These people define “dedication.” Last year, between Jan. 1 and March 31, Kearnyites brought 69 strays to the Bergen County Animal Shelter, Twist reported. This year, the tally over the same time period was 28, a 40% reduction, he said. “That reduction is because of TNR,” he said. Fewer feral kittens are being born and more cats are finding permanent homes and fewer are being euthanized. DeRay summed it up nicely, noting that TNR “is the only way to humanely control the cat population.” If you would like to support this noble humane effort, you can drop off cat food -- dry or moist -- at K-9 Corner, 169 Midland Ave., Kearny. One more thing: As a tribute to Mayor Santos’ willingness to give TNR a chance, more than one colony cat now bears the name “Big Al.”

sitional aid, Santos said last week he’s throwing in the towel rather than jeopardize the town’s chances of re-upping for transitional aid. But the state’s position,

the mayor said, “does demean local officials and the work we do. I find the state’s application of the statute heavy-handed and creating a double standard in how the law is applied.” And, Santos said, “I can

see very well that at the end of their terms some council members saying, ‘this is something I cannot do in the future,’ in terms of the financial burden being placed on them in having to purchase their own health insurance.”

At their other jobs ... Currently, Mayor Alberto Santos and Town Council members Carol Jean Doyle, Susan McCurrie, Michael Landy and Eileen Eckel – all of whom all have a second public sector job – and Albino Cardoso, newly retired from private sector employment, receive health coverage through the town. Council members Richard Konopka, elected in 2013, receives health benefits through his job with the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission while Jonathan Giordano, a local businessman elected in 2014, and Marytrine DeCastro, a private sector employee appointed to fill a vacancy in February 2015, get no benefits through the town. Konopka works as a maintenance supervisor with the PVSC where he

earns $108,000. Giordano is a self-employed cabinet maker and DeCastro is a privately employed contract nurse. Santos said that while he and the five council members now covered would be “grandfathered” in under the old law, the town didn’t want to create the possibility of a “second tier” of elective official who, the state has concluded, is not eligible for state health benefits coverage. Santos, McCurrie and Coyle all have jobs with Hudson County: As clerk to the Board of Freeholders, Santos makes $86,521; McCurrie collects $80,847 as an attorney with the county Law Department; and Doyle earns $35,607 as a records support specialist with the county’s risk management office. Landy and Eckel are both

public school educators: Landy gets $131,626 as principal of the Washington Middle School in Harrison and Eckel receives $78,010 as a middle school educator in Fair Lawn. The Observer was unable to learn how much Kearny pays to provide health coverage to its elected officials. CFO Shuaib Firozvi said the town is currently paying about $10.9 million in health insurance fees – about 14% of the municipal budget – to cover 254 active municipal employees and 301 retirees, while employees contribute about $1.2 million toward that cost. Additionally, the town pays about $40,000 to those employees who “opt out” because they are covered under another plan, he said. – Ron Leir

Belleville boys’ volleyball team captures first-ever Essex title

NA’s golf team makes return trip to state sectionals When the North Arlington High School golf team made history last year by qualifying for the NJSIAA North Jersey Section 1&2 Group I state sectionals for the first time in school’s history, there were a lot of doubters. There were some who wondered whether the Vikings actually belonged here. After all, North Arlington doesn’t have its own golf course to use for practice. The members of the team are not strictly golfers, rather duffers who just happen to like the sport. So there was talk that it was a fluke appearance. Well, you can take that fluke talk and flush it, because Monday morning, before the crack of dawn, the Vikings loaded up their mini-bus and headed to the Bowling Green Golf Course in Oak Ridge (yeah, you knew where it was, right?) in Morris County to make a return trip to the state sectionals. Yes, the Vikings are getting a chance to play golf once again with the big boys. “This was our way to prove everyone wrong,” said senior Darian

Nogueras, who was part of the team last year and was the top shooter on this year’s squad. “We played with a lot of heart. It’s a great feeling with a tremendous sense of pride, a great day to be part of the Vikings.” “I thought we would have a good year,” said North Arlington golf coach Dan Farinola, who does triple duty as the girls’ soccer coach in the fall and the bowling coach in the winter. “We did lose two good seniors from last year in Matt Karras and Kenny Kuzmuk and I knew we needed guys to step up and play well for us.” Nogueras has been perhaps the player who best personified the coach’s wishes. “He’s been our most consistent golfer,” Farinola said. “He’s part of the reason why we’re here again. He’s been a big help, dropping his average to 45 (for nine holes). I knew it was just a matter of time. He just needed to be a little more consistent. He could hit every club in the bag. He definitely played a lot in the offseason and that benefitsee VIEW page

The Belleville boys’ volleyball team proudly display the trophies they earned by capturing the Essex County Tournament championship last Saturday, defeating rival Livingston in straight sets, for the first ECT title in the school’s history and the first Essex title of any kind since the bowling team won in 2006.

By Jim Hague Observer Sports Writer

efore the current high school boys’ volleyball season began, Belleville High School head coach John Spina had an idea that it was going to be a year to remember for his Buccaneers. “The expectations were real high,” said Spina, a Belleville grad who took over the program three years ago. “A lot of our guys competed in the offseason. They went to camps over the summer, including one at St. Joseph’s of Metuchen. Four of our key contributors continued to play volleyball all year, playing club volleyball. That makes a world of difference when you play against that competition.” The constant competition helped the returning Buccaneers tremendously. “They started to hit the ball

with such power,” Spina said. “They picked up that mental edge. They realized they didn’t have to destroy every ball to get a kill. Their passing technique was better. They also came out of the summer with a better attitude. I knew that was going to be hard to knock us off.” So Spina set the goals high – enabling the Buccaneers to think of higher achievements than the program ever reached before. “Our No. 1 goal was to make our presence known every match,” Spina said. “Then we wanted to win the Essex County Tournament championship.” Belleville had never captured the ECT crown before. The Buccaneers lost in the finals in each of the last four years. Spina wanted to make sure that this was the year that they went over the top.

“We wanted it bad,” Spina said. “We had a more mature team. I think last year, we were focused on what the other team was doing. This year, we needed to focus on ourselves. We had players who led by example by going hard after the ball. We were not focused on everyone else. We were focused on ourselves. We saw tremendous results.” The Buccaneers had a phenomenal season before last week, losing only once to Fair Lawn. However, Spina could sense something different with his team. “I could see that they were becoming a little complacent,” Spina said. “We beat Montclair, a tough team, in the opening round of the tournament (the ECT), then had a tough time with North 13th Street Tech (of Newark), but I knew that was going to be a war.” see BELLEVILLE next page

THE OBSERVER | WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 2015

BELLEVILLE from Spina then had regular season matches against county rival Livingston and stateranked power St. Peter’s Prep of Jersey City. “We went into Livingston and played our worst game of the season,” Spina said. “The second set, we got demolished, 25-13, and lost the third set, 2517. I started to question myself, like, ‘Did I overwork them?’ I didn’t know what was going to happen. It was almost like they flicked a switch. They got angry. It was the get angry switch.” So when the Buccaneers went to face Livingston once again, this time in the ECT championship game, a match that they had lost for the four previous years, they were more than ready. “We let Livingston see something they never saw before,” Spina said. “We had flawless execution of our game plan. Even though we lost to them during the week, we were not going to lose this time.”

The Buccaneers took command early in the match and won the championship in straight sets, winning 25-18 and 25-20, to win the tournament title for the first time in school history. According to local sportswriter Mike Lamberti, the victory was Belleville’s first Essex County championship since the bowling team won in 2006. Before that, it was the wrestling team that won the county title in 1995, a wrestling team that ironically featured Spina as a team member. When the Bucs finally won the ECT title Saturday, there was a sense of relief. “We finally did it,” Spina said. “It was phenomenal. I wore a smile from ear to ear. It’s a great group of kids. I guess it’s really indescribable.” Belleville became only the third school to ever win an Essex County Tournament title, with Livingston and Bloomfield being the others. Leading the way for the Bucs is senior outside hitter P.J.

Gencarelli, who Spina believes is one of the top players in the state. “He’s our captain and leader,” Spina said. “He plays every element of the game flawlessly. He kills the ball from everywhere on the floor. He hits the ball hard and he hits the ball smart.” Gencarelli is going to Stevens Tech to play volleyball in the fall. Like Gencarelli, senior Marlon Rodriguez is a standout soccer player as well. Rodriguez is a key contributor to the Bucs’ county champion. “He’s healthy now,” Spina said. “Last year, he was battling injuries, but this year, he’s healthy and he’s matured so much. He’s developed into a player. He’s a great server and that means a lot.” But Rodriguez is headed to Drew to play soccer. Senior setter Ammar Rahim is another major player. He’s headed to Rutgers-Newark to play volleyball. “He understands what

the team’s “lightning bolt,” according to Spina. “He’s fearless and fast,” Spina said. “He’s been starting for us since Day One. I’m going to build around him for the future.” Seniors Lukas Luna, Jeffer Rubio and Chris Matos are all quality hitters and sophomore Alcides Dos Reis, a standout basketball player, makes his presence felt when he’s called upon. The Buccaneers are not settling for simply being a county champion with a 21-2 record. “We definitely hope to win the league (the Super Essex Conference-American Division), then head into the (NJSIAA) state tournament,” Spina said. The Buccaneers have also been aided by the diligence of assistant coach Ryan Sheridan. “He does all the hard work with the kids,” Spina said. “I don’t know where I’d be without him.” For now, Spina will enjoy the county title. “I don’t know if I’ll get another group like this group,” Spina said. “They really are special.” Not only are they special, but they are also county champions.

He’s definitely our ‘X’ factor by the way he just blisters the ball.” Senior Joseph Almasri just joined the program this year. “I saw his height in the hallway and knew we needed to have him,” Spina said of the 6-foot-6 middle hitter. “He never played the sport before, but I could tell he could do something.” Senior Douglas Fonseca is the team’s right side hitter. “He picked up his game a lot this year,” Spina said. “He was a part-time player in the past and elevated into a starting role.” Sophomore Fidel Barazza is

LASHING OUT

Many women will go to great lengths to increase the length of their eyelashes, from wearing lengthenhancing mascara to putting on false eye lashes. While doing so may draw attention to the eyes, it may also hamper their ability to retain moisture and deflect airborne particles. So say researchers who examined 22 diverse species of mammals and found that optimal eyelash length was typically one third of an eye’s width. At this length, eyelashes were found to be able to reduce evaporation and dust accumulation by 50 percent. When lashes were longer than this optimal length, however, they no longer trapped air. Instead, they funneled the air into the eye, increasing air evaporation and dust accumulation. Today’s informative column has been brought to you as a public service.

ing routine exams, as well as diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases. We combine the most advanced technology with a warm, friendly staff and highly personalized care.

ted him.”

It couldn’t have been easy for Nogueras to improve his golf game, especially since he is also a member of the NA varsity basketball team. “I would go to a lot of different courses, like Belleville or in upstate New York,” Nogueras said. “I really wanted to improve my game. I went from the mid-50s to low 40s. I wanted to help the team get back to the state tournament and we were able to accomplish that.” Farinola, who coaches three sports, wants his athletes to participate in more than one sport. “I encourage them to play all sports,” Farinola said. “We have to have that here. I want to have as many threesport athletes we can have. It’s also important for me to have our athletes play all year. Our top four golfers all play more than one sport.” Farinola appreciates the work that Nogueras put in to become a better player. “He really looks more confident as a player,” Farinola said. “He can pick any club in the bag and hit it. He’s not trying to be too fancy. He’s concentrating on hitting a few clubs better and it’s

helped him tremendously.” Sophomore Tyler Sheffler, who is also a member of the North Arlington swim team, is another improved golfer. “He was averaging around 54 last year and now he’s at 48 this year,” Farinola said. “That’s a big improvement. He’s more consistent and hitting it further off the tees. It means he’s getting to the green quicker.” Senior Danny Goffredo returned to the golf team this year after taking last year off. Goffredo, also a member of the football team in the fall, has made a major impact. “He’s a grinder,” Farinola said of Goffredo. “He has the perfect golf mentality. He never gets upset and just keeps playing. He wants to have fun. Danny coming back was a big help to us.” Nogueras agreed. “It’s nice to see Danny come back and play with us,” Nogueras said. “He knew it was a goal for us to get back (to the state sectionals).” Sophomore A.J. Ford is a newcomer to the Vikings’ roster. Ford also plays football and basketball. “He’s played golf before, just not competitively,” Farinola said. “He hits the ball really long. He’s been under 50 a couple of times.

It means the most for me to get the chance to work with him over the next few years. He definitely has a lot of potential.” Junior Louie Davio is another solid ball striker. “He is consistently around 50,” Farinola said. “He’s always long off the tee. He’s been having a good year.” Senior Phil Rosalis-Goncalves is the fifth member of the Vikings’ regular golf roster. “He’s a good teammate,” Farinola said. “He’s been

with us for all four years and consistently has gotten better each year.” Farinola was asked what it meant to bring the Vikings back to play with the state’s elite Group I and Group II programs in the state. “It means a lot,” Farinola said. “Last year, we just wanted to be competitive. The guys who came back this year talked about it. They wanted to make it back again. That was the goal. To accomplish that is just great. I want these kids to have a

love for the game. Not just this year, but for the rest of their lives. I want them to be out there enjoying themselves every way possible so that they want to keep playing forever.” One thing is for sure: The North Arlington golfers have created a legacy. Two straight appearances in the NJSIAA state tournament is nothing to sneeze at. Maybe they’re going to make traveling to the states an annual early morning May experience.

Lyndhurst’s Tellefsen perfect pitcher for Golden Bears By Jim Hague Observer Sports Writer

Before the 2015 high school softball season began, Lyndhurst second-year head softball coach Emily Ringen knew that she was replacing a lot of starters from last year’s 22-win team that captured the school’s first-ever NJSIAA North Jersey Section 2, Group II state championship. Except for one key spot that really mattered, namely on the mound, with senior Jenn Tellefsen back for another go-round. “I don’t have any worries with her in there,” Ringen said of Tellefsen. “She’s calm, cool and collected. It’s nice to have her with the ball in her hands. I have a lot of trust in her. She’s such a hard worker and always wants to get better.” Tellefsen wasn’t satisfied resting on her laurels from a year ago, when she finished among the top 10 in New Jersey in strikeouts. “Last year was last year,” Tellefsen said. “I practiced more in the offseason and went to pitching and hitting lessons all year because I wanted to get better. I was focusing on my mechanics, getting ready for college.” Tellefsen has already signed a national letter of intent to attend Florida State College in Jacksonville, a junior college, so her future is already set. “But I still want to impress people,” Tellefsen said. “She is constantly working on getting better,” Ringen said. “For example, she’s developed more of a

changeup this year, altering her motion a little. She now has a gorgeous changeup. Over the past few weeks, she has tinkered with her changeup and it’s worked so well.” Part of the reason is that Tellefsen is winding down her brilliant career at Lyndhurst. There are only a handful of games remaining, then the possibility to defend the state sectional title. “I don’t want to think about it too much,” Tellefsen said. “I’m excited about going to college, but I’m upset that high school is ending. I really enjoyed being here.” Tellefsen is really saving her best for last. She won all four of her starts last week, defeating Harrison, Ridgefield, Queen of Peace and North Arlington. She struck out 18 and allowed no earned runs in the win over Harrison, struck out eight and allowed just one earned run in the victory over

Ridgefield, struck out nine in a five-inning victory over Queen of Peace and closed out the week with a 15-strikeout, three-hitter, allowing no earned runs in the win over North Arlington. Tellefsen is also doing damage at the plate, collecting four hits and four RBI in the win over Harrison and two hits and three RBI in the win over Queen of Peace. This all comes on the heels of the sensational perfect game she fired against Secaucus two weeks ago, striking out 17 in the process. For her efforts, Tellefsen has been selected as The Observer Athlete of the Week for the past week. Tellefsen now has 255 strikeouts this season, well on her way to her preseason goal of collecting the unfathomable 300 strikeouts. “We hope we can get her to that number,” Ringen said. “I’m sucontinued next page

perstitious. I don’t want to talk about it. I like to take it one game at a time.” “One of my main goals was to hit 300 (strikeouts),” Tellefsen said. “It looks pretty good, but I don’t want to think about it too much. I’m going to try my hardest. I know my team is behind my back.” Tellefsen said she was particularly pleased to throw the perfect game against archrival Secaucus. “It was just surprising,” Tellefsen said. “It was my

first perfect game in high school. I’ve had a couple of no-hitters, but this was my first perfect game. It meant a lot to me that it came against one of our biggest rivals. But I really don’t pay attention to all that. I just want to win.” Ringen loves what Tellefsen brings to the table. “You have to have confidence when Jenn has the ball in her hands,” Ringen said. “Her body language and attitude sets the tone. She’s such a smart pitcher who doesn’t get rattled. You need

a lot of mental toughness to be a successful pitcher. We have a lot of confidence with her pitching. She gets the job done.” Tellefsen has pitched to a 15-6 record this season with her impressive total of strikeouts. At the plate, she’s hitting .466 with one homer and a team-best 28 RBI. “I actually put her into the leadoff spot two weeks ago, because a lot of teams were not pitching to her,” Ringen said. “She knows the game and knows what to do at

the plate. She’s always trying to help herself out. I’m just looking for her to make contact. But she manages to turn it on when it comes to offense.” “When I hit, I’m always trying to get a base hit,” Tellefsen said. “But I think I’m better at pitching.” Ringen will take Tellefsen’s contributions. “I’ll take RBI over home runs every day,” Ringen said. “It means she’s doing her job. I’m really proud of her. She’s really focused right now. I

just hope she can keep it going for the next few weeks.” The Golden Bears will more than likely be the No. 5 seed in the North 2, Group II playoffs as they try to defend their title in a few weeks. “I would love to be able to go through what we did last year,” Tellefsen said. If she’s able to do that, then Jenn Tellefsen would be one of the greatest softball players in Lyndhurst High School history. That would be an incredible legacy to leave.

Better keep belts clicked in Belleville Officers from the Belleville Police Department will be cracking down on unbuckled motorists and their passengers as part of the national “Click It or Ticket” campaign May 8-May 31. The annual initiative includes high-visibility law enforcement seat belt checkpoints and saturation patrols, as well as local and national publicity designed to ensure that drivers and passengers recognize the life-saving value of seat belts. “Using a seat belt is the simplest way for a driver and his or her passengers to protect themselves when traveling,” said Gary Poedubicky, acting director of the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety. “In 2012 alone, seat belts saved an estimated 12,000 lives nationwide.” The front seat belt usage rate in New Jersey currently stands at 87.59%. Poedubicky

noted that the goal for this year’s campaign is to increase that to 90%. “To meet our goal, we must continue both enforcement and public outreach efforts that educate all motor vehicle occupants about the importance of buckling up, every ride,” he said. Poedubicky added that the campaign will focus on rear seat passengers, as well. Despite laws requiring adult back seat passengers to buckle up, adult back seat use only stands at 44%. During the 2014 “Click it or Ticket” campaign, 374 police agencies participated in the two-week initiative. As a result of the effort, law enforcement officers issued 26,635 seat belt citations, 4,363 speeding summonses and made 944 drunk driving arrests. For further information contact, Sgt. Frank Pignataro at 973-450-3348.
