Kingsland meadows site sold LYNDHURST/ NORTH ARLINGTON – At one time, the Kingsland meadowlands tract was to be the site for a giant development: a sprawling golf course, then luxury apartments and hotels, to be built by EnCap Golf Holdings. But EnCap went bust in 2008, leaving in its wake Lyndhurst, North Arlington and Rutherford with millions in debt – instead of dividends – resulting from public obligations linked to the project, endorsed by the then-New Jersey Meadowlands Commission. After the deal collapsed, the property reverted to the NJMC. Last Thursday, the New Jersey Sports & Exposition Authority – which has absorbed the NJMC – hoped to make up for that debacle by voting to sell 718 acres of the former Kingsland landfill property to Kingsland Development LLC, of Carteret, for $42.5 million. At the same time, the NJSEA commissioners stipulated that if the designated buyer “does not close [the real estate deal] in a reasonable period of time,” then the property will go to Valleybrook 2014 LLC, reportedly owned by Hampshire Partners VIII

he dangling cross at the top of the steeple at the historic former Dutch Reformed Church is safely down and in storage for now and a contractor is repairing the steeple. The Rev. Miguel Ortiz, pastor of La Senda Antigua Pentecostal, which occupies the church -- built in 1853 but whose antecedent structures date from the late 17th century and whose graveyard contains the remains of 66 Revolutionary War soldiers – credited Cole NYC Master Riggers & Steeplejacks with coming to the rescue. “They heard about us on the news and they were looking for us,” said Ortiz, whose congregation -some four years ago – acquired the building, which was battered by Super-storm Sandy in October 2012 and damaged, anew, by a ferocious windstorm earlier this year. After contact was finally made, “we got together to see if they could help us out,” Ortiz said.

Teacher charged in sex case LYNDHURST – A 32-year-old Lyndhurst woman was arrested last Friday for allegedly engaging in inappropriate sexual activity on at least one occasion with a 15-year-old female student at the same Jersey City school where she is a teacher, Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli announced. The suspect, Lauren H. Mitchell, was remanded to the Bergen County Jail in lieu of $150,000 bail, with no 10% option. She is charged with one count of aggravated sexual assault and

one of endangering the welfare of a child. Molinelli said Mitchell is employed as a second-grade teacher at the Dr. Lena Edwards Academic Charter School. The sexual activity is alleged to have occurred at Mitchell’s Lyndhurst residence. According to a news release from Molinelli’s office, several teachers at the school observed what they believed were inappropriate interactions between the victim and Mitchell on a class trip and reported their observa-

The new limousine rules “were the direct result of numerous complaints I’ve received,” said Public Safety Commissioner John Montillo, about limos taking up parking spaces along residential streets and “operating all hours of the night.” Now, the ordinance provides that, “Limousines shall not be parked on the street except for the pickup or discharge of passengers.” Limo companies cannot operate in residential zones and they must prove they have at least “one lawful offstreet parking space available for each limousine” where the business office is located. The commissioners also appointed Salvatore DeCarlo as deputy emergency squad commissioner for one year, Paul F. Haggerty as deputy fire commissioner for two years and Andrew Marmorato as assistant deputy fire commissioner for one year, all at salaries to be set by ordinance.

Woman has cash taken from car: NPD N

utley Police were called to Washington Ave. on June 13 on a dispute and when they arrived, a victim told them a man she didn’t know and who had been acting “suspicious” allegedly reached into her car and took a large amount of cash from her pocketbook, the Nutley Police Department said.

When the victim realized her money had been stolen, she was able to make contact with the suspect and get some, but not all of her money back. The victim then gave the man’s phone number to police, who said they were unable to get in touch with him. Police said they left a message on the suspect’s voicemail and advised him to contact

Ample Parking • Financial Assistance Available for the uninsured

Bloomfield Ave. resulted in the arrest of Alexis Franco, 23, of Bloomfield, on an outstanding warrant out of Mount Olive Township. Franco was transported to headquarters without incident. Police said she was also issued two Nutley summonses for view obstruction and failure to provide a valid insurance card and was released on her own recognizance. June 14 • A victim told police their car was broken into on Raymond Ave. Upon arriving at their car that morning, they said they noticed the glove compartment was open as well as the center console — and papers were thrown about inside the vehicle. Missing were the vehicle’s registration card, insurance card, owner’s manual and $2.25 in loose change. The victim told police the vehicle was unlocked while it was parked. There was no damage to the vehicle. • Officers responded to a Harrison St. store that had reported a shoplifting incident. An employee of the business told police two males walked into the store and went straight to the back. From there, police said the two split up after seeing the store manager in a nearby aisle. One of the suspects was seen throwing something, then briskly walking toward the front door, police said. The two then left the building and were observed getting into a vehicle. An empty box was found and the missing items were believed to have been pocketed by the suspects before they left the store without paying. The manager was advised of their right to sign a complaint with the court. • Officers responded to Adams St. on a report of criminal mischief. Upon arrival, officers said they spoke to a resident, who said they found the tires on the passenger side of their vehicle were low. The victim filled the tires up with air, but returned later to find the tires low again, police said. After closer inspection, each tire was found to have a puncture mark.

June 15 • While on patrol on Adams St., officers were advised by a woman that the door leading to the common hallway of her building appeared to be broken. Officers made contact with the building’s superintendent, who responded to the location to check the door. • A Montclair Ave. resident told police a vehicle nearby had a smashed window. Police said they were called to find the owner. When the vehicle’s owner was located, he told police nothing appeared to be stolen. June 17 • Officers responded to Franklin Ave. on a criminal mischief to auto complaint. Police said they found a 6-inch scratch on the driver’s side. • An E. Centre St. resident told police they’d paid their rent using a drop box, but that the management company never got the payment. The Detective Bureau has been notified and surveillance footage is being downloaded for further investigation. • A suspicious person seen fleeing near the rear of police headquarters was arrested on an outstanding warrant, police said. During a brief interview, police said the man initially gave them a false name. Upon further investigation, Samir Bryant, 20, of Montclair, was found to have an outstanding warrant out of Caldwell. Bryant was charged in Nutley with hindering apprehension, which was placed on a warrant. The deputy court administrator set bail at $500, with no 10% option. Bryant was transported to the Essex County Jail when he couldn’t post the bail, police said. June 18 Nutley police aided Clifton police when they reported three armed men fleeing a robbery — and were last seen on River Road. Nutley officers learned the three men entered the LaQuinta Hotel. A contingent of officers from Nutley, Clifton, Bloomfield and Bergen County surrounded the hotel and eventually apprehended the three men who were holed up inside. – Kevin Canessa Jr.

‘You’re gonna need a bigger boat’ B

elieve it or not, there once was a time when people didn’t think about sharks when they went down the shore. And when the mere sighting of some sort of fin was not fodder for the evening news. And when there was no such thing as the “summer blockbuster” movie; in fact, a summer release spelled sure death for a film. All that changed in June 1975, when “Jaws” was released. Yes, it has been 40 years since a mechanical shark named “Bruce” chomped his way into our collective consciousness, and basically never left. I was thinking about why that is, about what made this particular movie so compelling, and it dawned on me (after 40 years!) that the primary reason is that its most horrific details occur in our own minds. Unlike the gore-fests of contemporary horror films, “Jaws” has minimal graphic images: A floating head. A severed leg. And the shark’s conspicuous consumption of Capt. Quint. But that’s about it. In fact, for most of the

movie, we never even see the shark. The story is that this was not in the plans, but there were so many problems with the mechanical monster, it could not be given the screen time originally planned for it. I cannot vouch for the truth of that, but it makes sense. Hollywood wouldn’t have spent a fortune on “Bruce” if it hadn’t intended to make him the star. Irony is, he WAS the star anyway. Precisely because he was basically invisible. That music heralding his approach, the opening scenes of the girl swimmer being dragged to and fro, a dog disappearing in the sea off a crowded beach . . . . As

director Steven Spielberg put it in a recent interview, the film required the audience to “bring its collective imagination” into the theater. That same interview confirmed my own 40-yearslate insight: “It’s what we don’t see that’s truly frightening,” Spielberg noted. Whether or not that was the original intention is now beside the point. Alas, the secret of the phenomenal success of “Jaws” appears to be lost on contemporary filmmakers. As noted above, the concept today is: The more graphic the violence, the better. If “Jaws” were made in 2015,

WE’VE GOT MAIL To the editor: I would like to comment on a recent Observer article where Kearny Board of Education member Daniel Esteves was reported to have said that his “push for student residency checks” was “ignored.” Is Mr. Esteves implying that there are no residency

checks or investigations conducted by the Residency Office? At the very least, he appears to have some doubts or questions about the program. However, those doubts or questions were never addressed with the Residency Office. Mr. Esteves could have easily contacted me or Mrs. Donna Wagner-Nigro, the residency supervisor, to discuss those issues. Unfortunately, that didn’t

it would be far bloodier -- and not nearly as memorable. There’d also be no need to deal with a quirky mechanical shark. Thanks to CGI (computer generated imagery), the Great White would have had more close-ups than Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss combined. And speaking of sharky anniversaries: Next month marks the 99th anniversary of a series of attacks that reportedly inspired author Peter Benchley’s “Jaws” novel, upon which the movie was based. Between July 1 and July 12, 1916, four people were killed and one was maimed by ravenous sharks -- or per-

haps a single shark, maybe a Great White -- in New Jersey waters. The attacks occurred on swimmers in the ocean off Beach Haven and Spring Lake and in Matawan Creek, a Raritan Bay estuary near Keyport. The Wikipedia account quotes a shark expert who, following the first fatality (the one off Beach Haven), told a Philadelphia newspaper: “Despite the death . . . and the report that two sharks having been caught in that vicinity recently, I do not believe there is any reason why people should hesitate to go in swimming at the beaches for fear of man-eaters.” Sounds like the mayor on Amity Island, doesn’t he? After the second attack, real panic set in. If you’re interested in learning more about the 1916 Jersey horror, there are non-fiction books about it, including “Close to Shore: A True Story of Terror in An Age of Innocence” by Michael Capuzzo, and “Twelve Days of Terror” by Richard Fernicola. Either one makes for nice beach reading. – Karen Zautyk

‘WE TAKE OUR JOBS SERIOUSLY’ happen so I don’t know the extent of Mr. Esteves’ knowledge regarding our efforts but if his comment reflects a belief that residency checks are not being made, that is a serious disconnect for someone who should know better as a [former] Board member. I can assure you that the Residency Office understands its responsibilities to the taxpayers of Kearny and to the school district.

As the residency investigator for the Kearny Board of Education since October 2009, I can assure you we have conducted several thousand investigations. In almost every case, it involves visits to the student family residence and sometimes multiple visits. I make visits almost every morning and most evenings during the school year. All such visits are documented. We can also report that no

student family found to be in violation of residency policy has successfully challenged the findings of our investigations. I believe this reflects the high standards we strive to achieve for being fair and competent in our work.

Two members of the department are eligible to file for retirement, Stahl said, “but I’m not expecting them to go this year.

KPD: An appetite for arrest? S

hortly before midnight on Monday, June 15, Kearny police received a report of suspicious persons possibly attempting to enter parked vehicles in the residential neighborhood of Stuyvesant Ave. and Grand Place. At the scene, Officer Ben Wuelfing encountered three teen boys who, when questioned, “advised him that they

were in the area because they were hungry and looking for something to eat,” Chief John Dowie said. (Really? There’s nothing to eat around there except birdseed and squirrel food.) Officer Joe Martin located a witness who said the trio had been rummaging through a parked van on Grand, Dowie reported.

In a search incident to arrest, the teens were allegedly found to be in possession of: a $10 roll of quarters, loose change, a $20 bill, a $10 Canadian bill, and a silver lighter (but no edibles). A USB phone charger also was found nearby, police said. All three -- a 15-year-old and 17-year-old from Kearny and a 16-year-old from Newark -- were charged with burglary,

He said he could “fulfill all of the duties” of both board member and cop and, “as the only bilingual board member in a district in which the majority of the children are from households in which English is a second language, that duty often includes additional responsibilities for me that other board members generally cannot do.” Lindenfelser told the board that Esteves was given 72hour notice through an email, regular mail and certified mail sent to him on May 26. Esteves

said he did not get the certified mail notice until June 2. In any case, the board declined to rescind its decision.

submitted to the school board, Granelli wrote: “As an involved and concerned parent, in sitting on the Board I can do more that just help Abbey with her studies – I can make a larger impact. “As a former executive and now owner of a security firm, I have had many schools and school districts as clients …. This has given me the opportunity to experience and participate in different levels of school operations including but not limited to physical security, facilities and financial planning. I have been able to witness and take part in what makes educational institutions operate, giving me a good sense of much that makes up a school community.” Granelli told The Observer he was “flattered that the board thought of me as being a good fit.” Board Secretary/Business Administrator Michael DeVita said Granelli was one of eight applicants who were screened by an ad-hoc board committee who narrowed down the list to two for consideration by the full board. In other business, the board received a “tentative timetable” for resumption of the Kearny High School Aircraft Noise Abatement and Renovation Project, begun in 2011, stalled in 2013 when the general contract was “terminated

for convenience,” and continued sporadically since then. Much of the renovation work on the high school’s North Building – new classrooms, a culinary center and atrium – has yet to begin. The projected schedule, as presented by Operations Director Mark Bruscino, calls for the board to solicit bids for the remaining work by Sept. 14, receive bids by Nov. 4, award the contract by Nov. 12, start construction by Jan. 1, 2016, and complete the job by June 1, 2017. To that end, the board contracted with Epic Management of Piscataway for field representative services/ construction management for the job ahead. Epic will get $382,824 for work during construction, plus $15,794 for preconstruction work and $20,294 for close-out work. STV of Newark, the only other firm to submit a proposal, bid $653,435 for construction, $29,064 for pre-construction and $77,796 for close-out. The board also agreed to purchase new solar modules to replace modules on the roof of Franklin Elementary School damaged by Super Storm Sandy from Panasonic Corp. for $105,130. It will receive reimbursement through the School Alliance Insurance Fund.

Close call for cop as he fires at oncoming racer By Karen Zautyk Observer Correspondent KEARNY – A Kearny police officer attempting to stop a drag race opened fire on one of the vehicles when its driver attempted to run him over, authorities reported. The Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office, which is handling the case, said the incident occurred at about 10:45 p.m. Saturday, June 13, after the officer came upon the racers on Sellers St., just off the Belleville Pike. The officer, whose name has not been released, had exited his vehicle and was trying to intervene when at least one of the cars headed for and nearly hit him, authorities said. At that point, he reportedly discharged his

firearm at the auto. “No one was struck or injured by the officer’s fire,” Prosecutor Gaetano Gregory said in a press release. The KPD reported that the officer broadcast a description of two vehicles fleeing the scene, and responding Kearny units intercepted one on the Pike. Driver Timoy D. Malcolm, 21, of Jersey City, was subsequently charged with aggravated assault and unlawful possession of a weapon -- the car. “Given that a firearm was discharged, the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office was notified, as is standard protocol,” KPD Chief John Dowie told The Observer. “They took control of the scene and the investigation,” he noted.

same restriction holds true on holidays. “Commercial street” is defined by the ordinance as the following: “Kearny Ave., Midland Ave. from Kearny to Davis Aves. and Elm St. from Midland Ave. north to the existing railroad tracks.” Residents and business owners are reminded that in connection with trash pickups made on weekdays, no trash receptacles may be placed at curbside earlier than six hours prior to designated collection times and empty receptacles must be removed from curbside not later than four hours after collections, as prescribed by the same ordinance. For the past couple of weeks, the town has been sending warning notices but soon it will be giving tickets, according to Health Director Kenneth Pincus. “My goal is to clean up the garbage on the street,” Pincus said. “If that means issuing

violations, that’s unfortunate but since I don’t have the manpower to clean 24/7, I have no choice.” And, Pincus said, if a summons is written, it will be served upon the owner of the property where a violation occurs, as provided under a newly adopted ordinance. “It’s easier for us to enforce the law this way,” Pincus said. “It just makes sense.” Aside from aesthetic considerations, there are plenty of health-related reasons to justify the crackdown, Pincus said. Leaving trash out exposed – even if the stuff is in leakproof containers or securely tied heavy duty plastic bags – can “lead to harborages for animals, disease from birds, not to mention that it smells, leaks and attracts nuisances,” he noted. A few weekends ago, his department delivered 12 warning notices, with photos attached, reflecting violations stretching along virtually the entire stretch of Kearny Ave., from Johnston Ave. to the Belleville Pike, he said. Once enforcement starts and summonses are issued to violators, offending property owners will have to show up in Kearny Municipal Court where, according to Pincus, if found guilty, they can face fines ranging from $100 up to $2,000, at the discretion of the judge, or up to 90 days of community service. Pincus said he would prefer to see compliance with the law instead of people paying penalties. “I just want to make the town presentable,” he added. – Ron Leir

KINGSLAND from LLC, for $40 million. The resolution authorizing the sale did not explain what was meant by a “reasonable period of time” to complete negotiations on terms for the sale of the property. Nor did the resolution outline the two bid proposals submitted by the rival firms to the NJMC on Oct. 8, 2014, in response to a “bid offering memorandum” for the sale of the property the NJMC issued on May 22, 2014. Brian Aberback, a spokesman for the NJSEA, said he could offer nothing further on the transaction. However, Lisa Kaplan, a spokeswoman for Russo Development of Carlstadt told The Observer that Kingsland Development LLC is “a joint venture between Russo Development and Forsgate Industrial Partners” of Teterboro. Omer Mir Ahmed, senior vice president for acquisitions for Russo Development, released a statement, saying, in part, that, “Our initial plans for the property is a largescale mixed-use commercial development consisting of industrial warehouse and distribution park, data centers, and solar fields which is consistent with the uses stipulated in the redevelopment plan. “This is one of the best large-scale development properties in the Meadowlands and all of New Jersey and even though we still need to perform an extensive amount of due diligence before we decide to close on the property, we went through a very competitive process to … win the deal ….” In recent years, Russo Development has been building a series of multi-unit residential projects, completing one in Lyndhurst and in the process of completing another in Harrison and another in Kearny. Forsgate Industrial Partners’ website describes the firm as a “private real estate developer and investor that owns and manages over 10 million square feet of industrial buildings.” In other business at last week’s meeting, the NJSEA commissioners voted to grant a bulk variance to JERC Partners XXVIII LLC to permit 1.5 parking spaces per market rate unit for a 218-unit residential development proposed for 120 Chubb Ave.

However, approval was granted, conditional on the applicant satisfying these mandates: • Setting aside at least 60% of the market rate apartments as one-bedroom units. • Submitting a parking management plan for residents and visitors. • Providing an “ongoing, direct connection to mass transit opportunities, including local commuter rail stations, as well as the NJ Transit bus stop A view of part of the Kingsland tract.

The applicant shall either institute their own shuttle service or coordinate with Meadowlink for the use of the Lyndhurst Shuttle Service, including the applicant’s fair share contribution towards same … prior to the issuance of any occupancy approvals.” The applicant’s zoning certificate application is pending review, according to Aberback.

Since the financially-strapped congregation is small and is already saddled with repaying the township a $40,000 “loan” used for emergency repairs, La Senda Antigua could not move as quickly as it would have liked to initiate the restoration work needed. But now, Ortiz told The Observer, Cole NYC “got a provider to help us out” to provide a bridge loan to cover upfront costs for the renovations. Additional work required, the

state report said, will involve “more exhaustive restoration of the steeple and tower including masonry repointing, structural heavy timber repair, new copper cladding and roofing, exterior wood repair around windows and exterior painting.” Cole is hoping to finish enough work “by Christmas” to at least ensure sufficient protection against further infiltration. “We still have to raise a lot of money to do work inside the church, all the way down

to the basement.” Ortiz said. “So we’re not finished but then again, we’re not where we started. We’re a big step closer to where we want to be.” After using another space to hold worship services due to unsafe conditions, the congregation was finally able to return to its home a month ago, thanks to the work performed by Cole NYC. “They are good people,” Ortiz said. “I’d also like to thank Jennifer Star from the state Historic Register for helping make our grant funding possible.”

Kenny Cole with salvaged cross and finial in church basement.

Ashgabat Theme Park in Turkmenistan and the World Trade Center in Taipei, Taiwan. Kenny Cole and his rigging crew have been diligently working at the church, at Rutgers and Main Sts., for the past couple of weeks. “We took down the cross about three weeks ago,” Cole told The Observer last week. That was the 8-foot-long, 120-pound cross at the top of the steeple – 150 feet above the ground. At the same time, the crew also removed a companion piece – a finial, a hefty acorn-shaped cement ornament. Between the two objects, “we’re probably talking around 300 pounds,” Cole said. Much of the cross’s gold leafing is stripped away – a casualty of old age. “It takes about 200 years for gold leaf to wear off,” Cole said. “We’re going to restore it.” For now, though, the contractor’s primary focus is – and will continue to be – the ravaged steeple. A report by state experts noted that Sandy’s “high winds and driving rain ripped the steeple and bell tower apart, literally,” displacing the metal cross, tearing and peeling back the steeple’s copper clad-

much of the exterior and interior infrastructure of the building, Ortiz has said previously. Last week, the Cole NYC riggers – secured by industrial ropes – were perched against the side of the steeple – between 120 and 130 feet high – removing rotting timbers and debris from inside and lowering it in large bags to be deposited in a large dumpster below. “They’re all certified SPRAT (Society of Professional Rope Access Technician) climbers,” Cole said. As part of the renovations planned, Cole said that his crew will be replacing the slate tiles covering the surface of the steeple “with something more modern.” But he hastened to add that the new materials would approximate as closely as possible the historic look of the property which has been designated as a state and federal landmark structure. “We’re trying to get as much done as we can within our budget of about $250,000,” Cole said.

Glover Jr., son of grid legend, gets chance to move Blue Tide forward

SPORTS VIEW Contact Jim at Ogsmar@aol.com

Atlantic Sun shines bright on NJIT NEWARK – Ever since he took over the job as the head men’s basketball coach at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, Jim Engles would always hear one question when he approached possible recruits. “A lot of the kids I recruited always asked me first, ‘What conference are you in?’” Engles said. “I had kids come here knowing that they might never get a chance to play in a conference tournament and have a chance at the NCAAs. It’s been hard, dealing with the fact that we couldn’t be in a conference.” After two seasons toiling as the nation’s lone NCAA Division I independent, Engles no longer has to worry about saying the wrong things to recruits. And his players now have something to shoot for. That’s because NJIT, the NCAA’s last independent among 351 Division I basketball schools, agreed Friday to join the Atlantic Sun Conference in all men’s and women’s sports beginning this fall. NJIT will be immediately eligible to compete for all postseason tournaments that the Atlantic Sun has to offer, as well as the chance

to earn a berth in the NCAA Tournament. The NJIT men’s soccer team already had a commitment to be a working member of the Sun Belt for the 2015 season, but the Highlanders will join the Atlantic Sun for soccer in 2016. The Atlantic Sun now has eight members after Northern Kentucky left the Atlantic Sun to join the Horizon League, beginning July 1. The announcement was made last Friday at a press conference at the school’s Weston Architectural Gallery, a press conference that was attended by Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, former New Jersey Gov. Richard Codey and New Jersey State Sen. Paul Sarlo. Atlantic Sun commissioner Ted Gumbart admitted that the move to secure NJIT as a league member was hastened by the departure of Northern Kentucky. “We always have to be aware of future possibilities,” said Gumbart, who already had a relationship with NJIT in men’s and women’s swimming and diving. “We’re building winners for life. That’s our conference motto. Part see VIEW page

During that time, the Glovers developed a relationship with Pete Carroll, the Super Bowlwinning coach of the Seattle Seahawks, who was then at the University of Southern California. “Dad and I flew out to USC and clicked with the USC staff,” Glover Jr. said. “I got to shadow Ken Norton Jr. and worked with their linebackers. I sat down with Pete Carroll and just talked football. He would tell us about his coaching style and philosophy.” Glover Jr. was so impressed see GLOVER next page

GLOVER from with Carroll that he volunteered as an assistant coach as a graduate assistant. “It made me a better coach,” Glover Jr. said. From there, Glover Jr. moved to Iowa and became the defensive line coach at Iowa Western, a strong junior college program. Last year, Glover Jr. was a volunteer assistant coach at Union City High School. At that time, he heard from a handful of people about the opening at Harrison High. Matt Gallo, who ran the program for the past two seasons, had moved on to become the head coach at St. Anthony in Jersey City. “I knew the school was looking for a head coach,” Glover Jr. said. “I reached out to (athletic director) Kim (McDonough Huaranga) and she gave me the opportunity to apply.” With that, the journey to become a head coach was complete. Glover Jr. has taken over the head coaching reins

at Harrison. “The facility is great, but that wasn’t really the selling point,” Glover Jr. said. “I have such a competitive spirit and I always liked being the underdog. I know that the program has had its struggles. But if I can prove myself and win here, that would be perfect. The kids really want to win, so that went hand-in-hand.” The Blue Tide won just two games last year and two the year before. In fact, Harrison has won just 21 games and lost 87 over the last 11 years, going back to their last .500 season (5-5) in 2003. They haven’t won more than three games in a season over the last seven years. It’s a major challenge indeed. So to tackle the challenge at Harrison, Glover Jr. has gone to a reliable source – his father. The elder Glover will serve as an assistant coach and is already working with the prospective linemen. “The kids didn’t know who he was,” Glover Jr. said of his

a great feeling to be with him again. He’s my best friend. I get the best from him. He’s a positive role model to a lot of these kids.” It’s not every day that a member of the College Football Hall of Fame joins the Harrison coaching staff. “He brings a lot to the ta-

ble,” Glover Jr. said. “I’m very excited to have him with me.” The younger Glover is ready to take on the world, as long as the players keep coming to summer drills and workouts. “The kids are working hard,” Glover Jr. “You can’t deny it. They’re working hard in the weight room, on the field, everything. The one thing I like about these kids is that they have bought into the change and have accepted it all. They’re lifting and learning. The motto I try to tell them is to just try to do things better than they have ever done them before. That’s all I ask. The kids believe it.” So the Glovers – father and son – will man the Harrison sideline this fall. “It’s a great feeling for me to be back in New Jersey as a head coach,” Glover Jr. said. “It’s great to be with my Dad. We’re taking on the challenge of turning this program around, just like he was asked (to do) at Dickinson and Ferris. Having him here with me makes the challenge a little easier. I’m very excited. I can’t wait until the season starts. It’s going to be a challenge, but it’s a challenge I’m going to tackle fully.”

EYE

CARE

DeLuca Vision Consultants Presented by

Joseph A. DeLuca, M.D., F.A.C.S. AN INWARD TURN

Chronic eye-watering and irritation of the outer portion of the eyeball (cornea) may be due to inward-turning eyelashes. Abnormally positioned eyelashes can result from an eye infection, inflammation (swelling) of the eyelid, autoimmune conditions, and trauma. This misdirection of the eyelashes, a condition known as “trichiasis,” results in the errant eyelashes brushing against the eyeball. Left untreated, trichiasis may lead to corneal ulceration, which is a potentially serious concern that can lead to loss of eyesight in the affected eye. When there are multiple lashes growing toward the eye, the ophthalmologist may recommend surgery to have them removed permanently. If so, “ablation” utilizes radiofre-

quencies or lasers to remove the offending lashes. We stress preventive eye health care and periodic checkups by your ophthalmologist. We are committed to providing exceptional vision correction services and making our patients’ comfort, safety, and satisfaction our top priorities. Please call 201 896-0096 (our optical shop 201 896-0007) to schedule an appointment. We’re located at 20 Park Avenue, Lyndhurst. We’re taking eye care into the new millennium. Visit us at www.delucavision.com. Come in and visit our optical shop. P.S. Some cases of trichiasis are caused by “epiblepharon,” an extra horizontal fold of skin that causes inversion of the eyelashes against the cornea.

of the great fit that NJIT brings is the academic success the school has had. The door was always open for NJIT to prove it belonged with us. This is a celebration for us as it is for NJIT.” However, for all intents and purposes, it was more of a party for NJIT, which gained Division I status in soccer in 2004 and the rest of the school’s programs in 2006. For a brief stint, NJIT was part of the Great West Conference, but the league did not have an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament and subsequently disbanded in 2013, leaving NJIT as the nation’s lone independent. That’s all now a part of the past. “This is now the future,” Engles said. “The past is behind us.” NJIT still holds the dubious distinction of holding the record for the nation’s longest Division I losing streak, losing 51 straight games from 2007 through 2009. The Highlanders snapped the streak with a win over Bryant, then lost the final 12 games that season, going 1-30 during Engles’ first season. But Engles worked diligently to get things going, improving every season, going from 10 wins in Engles’ second year to last season, when the Highlanders shocked the college basketball world by knocking off then No. 17-ranked Michigan at the Crisler Arena. It was a win that helped to put NJIT on the map and no question helped to catch the

attention of the Atlantic Sun people. The Highlanders went on to win 21 games, including three wins in the College Insider. com Tournament, reaching the tourney’s semifinals. Gumbart admitted that the Highlanders’ late season run helped their cause to get in the league, as well as the school’s general proximity to New York and the promise the school has made to build a $100 million Wellness and Events Center that should be ready in 2017. “It’s all part of the whole, but no question, the new facility opened our eyes,” Gumbart said. “Reaching into the New York market was huge, but I think a lot of our Florida markets will be valuable to NJIT.” NJIT athletic director Lenny Kaplan said that the deal with the Atlantic Sun “was 10 years in the making,” yet all came together within the last six weeks. “It was fast paced for the last few weeks,” Kaplan said. “It was a sprint to a marathon,” Gumbart said. “The biggest thing we missed over the last 10 years was the benefit of having a conference,” Kaplan said. “We’re proud that we now have a challenge to be part of the Atlantic Sun. We’re no longer representing ourselves. We can now take the next step.” Winfield Willis, who will be a senior guard on the Highlanders’ basketball team in the fall, was ecstatic with the news. “I honestly wasn’t even thinking about it anymore,” Willis said. “It was the last thing on my mind. I didn’t

He resident, were on the came up underneath the South squad with Urfacemask and shattered gola of Lyndhurst and my nose.” Banks was flabbergast- Giuseppe Gugliuzza and Dominic Reo of North ed that the event even Arlington. took place. “I honestly Banks and Urgola didn’t remember it,” were reminded of their Banks said. first football encounter One might think that at a banquet honoring Urgola would always the All-Stars the night harbor some sense of anger toward Banks be- before the game. “I really had no cause of that incident. idea,” Banks said. But that wasn’t the

“I told Pete I was sorry.” The apology was accepted. “It was a freak accident,” Urgola said. “It’s just wild how we’re teammates now for this game.” Banks, the diminutive whirlwind who was one of the smallest players on the field at 5-foot-6, showed flashes of the brilliance that enabled him to rush for 1,301 yards and 21 touchdowns on the ground his senior year. Banks also had two punt returns for scores, giving him 23 touchdowns, among the very best in Bergen County, and he finished his career finding the end zone an amazing 36 times. You can make that 37 TDs for Banks, who got the South squad on the scoreboard with a 10-yard touchdown run in the second quarter, a classic way for him to end his high school continued next page

career. “I was able to test my talents against some of the other great players in the county,” said Banks, who is headed to play at Montclair State University in the fall. Banks said that he never looked at his height – or lack thereof – as a deterrent to becoming a top-flight running back. “I never worried about that stuff,” Banks said. “I just came out and tried to play to the best of my ability. I never once worried about my size and never paid much attention to it. I just wanted to get the chance to play and prove myself, which I think I did.” Woupes and Banks grew up with each other in Kearny and were totally inseparable all throughout grade school and then high school. “I’ve seen Keon every single day of my life since I was 7 years old,” said Woupes, who will play defensive back at Bryant University in the fall. “We’ve always been together in everything. I was the fullback and he was the tailback. I did the blocking for him. It’s crazy to think that this was the last time we would play together. It’s a little bit sad.” Woupes believed that the last time they were teammates was last November, when the Gaels lost to St. Anthony in the NJSIAA Non-Public Group 1 state playoffs. “I thought that was it, but this gave us one more chance to be on the field together,” Woupes said. “We’ve been through a lot together. I’m going to miss being there for Keon.” Woupes said that

he was happy to get a chance to play in an AllStar game. “I’m here with all the players you played against and read about in the newspapers,” Woupes said. “It’s a big thrill to put the pads on and get out there one more time.” For Urgola, the game represented a sense of finality, because it was the final time he would put on a football uniform. Urgola is headed to Bergen County Community College in the fall, a school that doesn’t offer football. “This is it for me,” said Urgola, who played linebacker in the game. “It’s pretty wild to think that I’m going to stop playing football after this. I almost can’t believe it’s over. But it’s a great feeling to get one last chance to play. It has been a lot of fun, getting to know everyone.” For the North Arlington teammates, their careers will continue on and will become teammates with Banks at Montclair State. “I’m obviously very happy,” said Gugliuzza, who also played linebacker in the All-Star game. “It’s a huge honor for me. Dominic has been my best friend for all four years of playing football at North Arlington. I’m glad to share this with him. We’re playing against the best in Bergen County, so it’s definitely getting me ready for college. It also gives me confidence that I can play in college. I was a little bit nervous coming into the game, but I definitely proved it to myself that I could do it.”

Unfortunately, Reo, the standout two-way lineman for the Vikings last fall, suffered torn ligaments in his ankle in the first practice prior to the game and was unable to play. He was in his uniform jersey, on the sidelines, but was wearing a protective boot on his foot. “I’m very disappointed that this happened,” Reo said. “I was really looking forward to the game. It was only able to get one practice in, but I think I was able to handle myself well. It was one of the best experiences of my life. I think I was able to challenge myself a little. It’s just a shame that I couldn’t play in the game.” Reo will play either defensive end or tight end at Montclair State with Gugliuzza and Banks. “It’s great for me, because I got to be with some of my future teammates,” Reo said. “It was definitely a big honor.” And for guys like Urgola, Reo and Gugliuzza, they were able to finish their high school careers on winning notes, after struggling somewhat with their respective high schools last season. “It was definitely a great feeling,” Urgola said. And it’s safe to say that Urgola had fully recovered from the broken nose he suffered from Banks. It’s funny how the game of football can provide wild circumstances – breaking a nose one year and teammates in their final high school game. “It’s pretty crazy when you think about it,” Urgola said.

public hearings to put our form of government on trial, in essence,” Haggerty said. “It could call witnesses – current and/or past elected officials from Lyndhurst and elsewhere, possibly those who have worked under different forms of government, and experts, such as from the Bloustein School of Planning & Public Policy at Rutgers University, and members of the public – to present forms of government that would be applicable to Lyndhurst.” Then, he said, the commission would collate all the testimony and compile a report with a recommendation to keep the current form of government or adopt an alternate form. If it recommends a change, that proposal would go before the voters in the November 2016 general

election. If the electorate votes to change, Haggerty said, then the first election under that new form of government would be held in May 2017, which happens to be when the next municipal election is scheduled under the current form of government. “So the charter process can happen with no disruption to the current system and enough time is built in to allow the public to educate itself and trust in the process,” Haggerty said. To get the word out in the community about the proposal, Haggerty said the five organizers plan to hold “open houses” for residents and organizations during the summer at the United Presbyterian Church on Ridge Road and at “cottage parties” hosted by homeowners.

CHARTER from prior to the Nov. 3 general election. Any qualified Lyndhurst resident may file a petition to run for charter study commissioner. If the question goes on the ballot and if it passes, then the top five vote-getters would be elected as charter study commissioners. Within 15 days of the election, the nonsalaried commissioners would hold an organizational meeting, choose a chairman and vice chairman and set a budget, which, Haggerty said, would be “minimal,” for things like paper supplies and possibly a recorder to tape meetings. Such expenses would be picked up by the township, he said. The charter study commission “would have nine months to hold

The Hudson County Community College (HCCC) Foundation invites area residents and businesses to participate in its 13th annual Golf Outing Monday, July 6, at the Forest Hill Field Club in Bloomfield. Proceeds from the event will be dedicated to scholarships and assistance for the college’s students and to the college’s development. The outing – one of four major fundraisers sponsored by the foundation – has activities to please golfers and nongolfers alike. The day’s itinerary will include a continental breakfast, shotgun start at 9:30 a.m. sharp, golf with refreshments served on the course, followed by cocktails, a luncheon and an awards ceremony with prizes for participants.

A limited number of tickets are available for the event. HCCC Vice President for Development Joseph Sansone said donor and sponsorship opportunities are available from $50 to $6,000. “Our foundation’s scholars are incredibly dedicated men and women who are working to make better lives for themselves and their families. Many of them work full-time and take classes full-time,” Sansone said. “The scholarships and financial assistance offered through the foundation helps ease their financial burdens and allows them to concentrate more on succeeding in and completing their studies.” In addition to the golf outing, the foundation’s board of directors also organize and hold

other fundraising events, which include a night at the races, a family oriented event; the HCCC Employee Scholarship Luncheon, where faculty and staff support the foundation through pledged donations; and the Holiday Scholarship Extravaganza in December — the largest and most festive of all of the foundation’s fundraising efforts. Complete information on the July 6 golf outing, including registration and dress code details, may be obtained online at http://www.hccc.edu/ uploadedFiles/Pages/ Foundation/Golf%20 Outing%20Flyer%202015. pdf. Information and reservations may also be made by calling 201-3604006 or by sending an email to jsansone@hccc. edu.

Monday by 10 AM

Thomas E. Boyd Thomas E. Boyd, 80, of Harrison, died on Friday, June 19, at his home with his beloved wife Lorraine by his side. Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, June 23, at 10 a.m. from Mulligan Funeral Home 331 Cleveland Ave., Harrison. A funeral Mass will be offered at 10:30 a.m. at Holy Cross Church in Harrison. Cremation will be private. Condolences may be shared at www.mulliganfuneralhome.org. Born in Scranton, Pa., Boyd was a resident of Harrison for 60 years where he owned and operated T. Boyd Plumbing and Heating. He was a member of the Harrison East Newark Elks and Knights of Columbus Our Lady of Grace Council. When Tom wasn’t working, his favorite place to be was his house at Lake Wallenpaupack, Pa., where he would take his grandkids on endless golf-cart rides. Tom is survived by his beloved wife of 49 years, Lorraine (nee Russell) Boyd, devoted children, Maureen MacArthur and her husband, John; Patricia Huseinovic and her husband, Al; Tammy French and her husband, Bobby; Colleen Lupo and her husband, Erik; and Thomas Boyd and his wife, Jenn. He also leaves behind his cherished grandchildren, Brian, Caitlin and Devon MacArthur; Adam, Dustin, Ally and Dylan Huseinovic; Trevor and Nolan French; Samantha and Alexandra Lupo; and Sean and Mackenzie Boyd. Also surviving are his sister, Rita Flannelly, and many nieces and nephews. He was greeted in Heaven by his parents, Myles and Mary Boyd; his parents-in-law, Patrick and Lorraine Russell; his brothers, James, John, Jerome and Myles Boyd; and sisters, Marion DeVivo, Margaret Bobinski and Elizabeth Rosser. Tom loved the New York Giants, Boston Red Sox, Notre Dame’s Fighting Irish, westerns, Elvis Presley and listening to the sound of falling rain. But above all, he loved his grandchildren. Whether watching cheerleading, baseball, football, hockey or soccer, he was always their number-one fan. Anyone who has attended a Harrison High School football game over the last five years can attest to that.
