A tangled web, indeed

By Karen Zautyk Observer Correspondent RUTHERFORD – Those of you with a literary bent have heard of the celebrated 20th-century poet William Carlos Williams, who made his home in New Jersey. But did you know that home was in Rutherford? And that he is buried in Lyndhurst? And that he was basically a part-time poet? William Carlos Williams’ professional calling was as a physician, specializing in pediatrics and obstetrics. In the course of his practice from the early 1900s through (circa) 1953, he must have delivered hundreds, if not thousands, of infants. And currently, the Rutherfordbased Meadowlands Museum is attempting to locate those now-adult infants. It’s not likely the earliest delivered are still with us (but you never know; just the other day there was a news story about a New York woman celebrating her 116th birthday). However, folks who were born in the ‘30s, ‘40s and ‘50s are abundant, and if you were delivered by Dr. Williams, you are invited to a special fete to be held in conjunction with the current museum exhibit: “The Practice & The Patient: Healthcare in the Early 20th see BABY SEARCH page

But now Michael Melham is entangled in a web of intrigue in a legal battle with Belleville officials over a small commercial structure he has been rebuilding next to the Municipal Building parking lot.

By Ron Leir Observer Correspondent KEARNY – own and school officials in Kearny appeared to be edging toward an agreement for a new basketball court the town is proposing for the Washington School playground. The town plans to pay for that new half-court by packaging it as part of a $1.3 million bond ordinance it introduced June 9 and hoped to adopt July 14. That bond would also finance improvements at Hickory St. Playground (owned by the Board of Education but maintained by the town), turfing of Veterans’ Field and creating a dog park at Riverbank Park. It does not itemize the cost of each project. At a special meeting of the Board of Education held last Wednesday, July 8, four members of the Town Council – First Ward representatives Albino Cardoso and Marytrine DeCastro and Fourth Ward representatives Susan McCurrie and Michael Landy – outlined plans for the Pettigrew Playground at Washington School. Essentially, the town wants to expand part of the playground area to include a halfcourt basketball surface facing Highland Ave. that school children could use during the day and that would be open to neighborhood kids later. School trustees had these reservations: Because Washington School now contains only grades k to 6, those kids are not old enough to use the court which would, therefore, only be used by an older crowd during nonschool hours, thereby creating security and liability issues. The town has pledged to

Landy agreed that a general fix-up is warranted. “Because it was in disrepair, nobody took care of it,” he said. “When they took the poles for the old swing set out, they left holes 1-inch-deep and 2-inches-wide in the asphalt.” Asked his assessment of where things stood after the meeting, BOE President James Doran Jr. said: “Personally, I think [the council members] explained things very well. … The issue we faced was communication. On Feb. 13, the town came up with the concepts for the improvements and the board approved them but the town was supposed to come back with the actual Photos by Ron Leir plans but they never did.” Hickory St. Playground (top) and Pettigrew Playground at Washington At this point, Doran said he School (bottom) await improvements. was relying on the town to install security cameras and al- ing that basketball courts have deliver a set of plans for the ready bears the legal responsi- been disappearing in town. board’s facilities committee to bility for handling any accident This is our attempt to get one review this week and then, he claims.

Hearn named acting police chief By Ron Leir Observer Correspondent NORTH ARLINGTON –

orough Police Capt. John Hearn was named acting police chief by Mayor Joseph Bianchi at last Thursday’s Borough Council meeting. Hearn, who has been a member of the Police Department since August 1987, has come up through the ranks and was most recently promoted to captain in 2009. There is one other officer with a comparable rank: Capt. Scott Hedenberg was promoted to that rank in December 2011. The department has no deputy chiefs. Borough Administrator Stephen Lo Iacono said that Hearn will continue as acting chief indefinitely until the mayor nominates him for a permanent appointment with consent of the council. Lo Iacono said that normally there would be a Civil Service test for chief but in this case, because there are fewer than three people eligible for the chief’s position, there would appear to be no need to call for

the test. Councilman Richard Hughes said the issue is still being researched. Lo Iacono said that until such time as a permanent chief is appointed, Hearn will continue to receive his captain’s salary. His annual base pay is $148,000 but with longevity and holiday pay factored in, his salary rises to $174,658, according to Lo Iacono. Police Chief Louis Ghione retired July 1 after some 30 years with the department. He is owed $200,000 in accumulated time and the council voted Thursday to pay him $100,000 this year and the balance next year, reportedly at the chief’s request. Ghione’s salary was $180,629. In other public safety-related developments, the council established new pay scales for the borough’s crossing guards as follows: Retroactive to Jan. 1, 2012, per diem substitute guards earn $12.13 per hour while permanent guards’ hourly pay ranges from $13.75 for their first year to $16.05 to sixth year. Retroactive to Jan. 1, 2013, seventh-year hourly pay is set at $16.45; effective Sept. 1, 2015,

eighth-year hourly pay is fixed at $16.85; and as of Jan. 1, 2016, ninth-year hourly pay will be $17.25. “Any time served as a perdiem employee shall not be counted as time served as a permanent position with regard to the [aforementioned] pay scale.” Sick leave: Permanent guards shall be entitled to four hours per month of sick leave on

their first day of employment; after completing one year of service, a guard will get 40 hours of sick leave per year; guards may accumulate up to 240 hours of sick leave time. Per-diems are not eligible for sick leave. Vacation: Permanent guards can take four hours per month of vacation as of their first day of work; guards with up to 10 years of service get 40 hours

vacation; guards with 10 to 20 years get 52 hours vacation; guards with more than 20 years get 72 hours vacation. Vacation time cannot be carried over year to year. Guards shall be paid for a maximum of three snow days per school year for full-day school closures. Guards working borough holidays shall be paid time and a half.

Outdated kitchens and living spaces that are insufficient for growing families are only two of the many limitations that lead homeowners to have ambivalent feelings about their homes.

With interest rates at low levels and consumer demand increasing by the day, it is possible to get prices for their homes that many homeowners would find difficult to ignore. To see if the price you might get for your home

is enough to get you to sell, ask for a complimentary comparative market analysis. You’ve probably received direct mail letters or post cards from local real estate agents about CMAs.

all-volunteer department for the past eight years, was charged with insubordination, conduct unbecoming and failure to respect a superior officer, according to Borough Counsel Neil Marotta. Marotta and Mayor Joseph Smith told The Observer that the incident that triggered the disciplinary charges filed against the volunteer happened on May 31, 2015, on the grounds of the East Newark Firehouse next to Borough Hall. Marotta said that the charges stemmed from “the manner in which [McKeown] addressed the (fire) chief (Kenneth Graham). [McKeown] was yelling, complaining about something. He was asked to stop and he failed to comply.” Pressed for more details, Smith said that McKeown complained about certain issues related to “maintenance” of fire equipment, notably a ladder truck. The mayor said that Graham “inherited” those issues “when he became chief in January.” Smith said the chief “advised McKeown those things were being addressed and tried to have him calm down.” And, in fact, Smith added, “within three to five days of this incident, these things were being taken care of.” The mayor did not elaborate. Reportedly, a letter of complaint about a particular equipment maintenance issue was sent to the U.S. Public

Occupational Safety & Health Administration (POSHA) at around the time of the incident involving McKeown and Graham but The Observer could not verify that by press time. In any event, the chief recommended that McKeown be terminated, Marotta said, and the council agreed to impose that penalty. Typically, Smith said, disciplinary matters are handled by the Fire Department but in this case, he added, since “a majority of the [fire] officers were among the witnesses at the hearing,” it was deemed fairer to have the governing body deal with the matter. While there have been prior suspensions and resignations of volunteer firefighters in the borough, Smith said this is the first time in the nearly 30 years that he has served in local government that a volunteer has been dismissed. Currently, the borough has some 26 volunteer firefighters on its roster, Smith said. Reached for comment, McKeown – who is employed by the Kearny Fire Department as a part-time civilian dispatcher – declined to be interviewed at this time. Although McKeown lives in Kearny, he is eligible to serve as an East Newark volunteer firefighter based on a borough policy that permits members to be residents of Kearny or Harrison, provided they reside within a certain distance of the borough. – Ron Leir

Community Garden continues to grow By Ron Leir Observer Correspondent KEARNY –

or more than two decades, his profession was police officer in Kearny but Bob Edwards has been a practicing gardener for twice as long. And this summer, he’s patrolling his corner of cultivation as one of the new members of the Kearny Community Garden, coaxing tomatoes and herbs (basil and rosemary) out of the ground. “The last two years, I’d drive by and see [the garden],” Edwards said. “Last year, my wife called for the particulars and I went to the library to sign up and I paid the $20 [entry fee].” Edwards, who retired from the police force in 1994, and his wife are among the 60 families who joined up this season. About 90% are returnees, according to Jenny Mach, who with her spouse David and other core members, organized the garden three years ago in a section of Riverbank Park. Like the garden itself, Jenny said, “we’ve experienced growth, going from 250 straw bales last year to over 300 this year.” And, she added, “we’ve got five families on the wait list.” “We kind of feel we’re at capacity now, given the limitations of our watering system,” Jenny said. To accommodate this season’s influx, “we added another row of bales and extended some longer ones.” Gardeners use the bales as planting beds for various types of produce and flowers. The bales are arranged in 13 rows,

each about 100 feet long, and watered by an irrigation hose system. Jenny pointed out a new wrinkle devised for this season’s “entries.” Next to a row of compost bins is an “experimental” garden containing both free-standing and raised planting beds in bales recycled from last season – as opposed to all new bales used in the “regular” garden. Plantings in the experimental section are watered by a hand-held hose. Also, five more volunteers were trained in the overall tending and watering of the garden “so we get a different person every day,” she said. This season, gardeners began planting in May and, last week, Mach said, “we were just getting to see some things ripening.” For the most part, everything being cultivated – including cucumbers and some other items that had a tough time last year – is thriving, she said. Most of the produce grown

is enjoyed by plot “owners,” but Jenny said this season, the First Presbyterian Church of Kearny asked about the possibility of the Community Garden donating some of its fresh produce to its emergency food pantry and that proposal is being explored. Meanwhile, the current crop of growers is busy with the

plantings. “I really miss my fresh tomatoes,” Edwards said. “I can’t wait to get the first one.” Each of his eight plants will be generating multiple tomatoes. “We’ll be having lots of lettuce and tomato sandwiches,” he said. And he’ll be using them on burgers and “I can cut them up for salads.” As for the herbs,

they’ll be spicing up his Italian sauce. Another garden newbie is a Harrison couple: Juliana Trovato and her husband Andrew, who made it off the wait list as “regulars” this season. Juliana, who works in financial services, and Andrew, who is in the pharmaceutical industry, “eat very healthy,” said Juliana, “and we try to stay as organic as possible.” To that end, the Trovatos are growing a full menu of scrumptious produce: squash, zucchini, white and dark egg plant, string beans, strawberries, tomatoes, cucumbers, “a plethora of hot peppers” and basil. Juliana figures she’ll “make a lot of pesto” with the basil, along with “Margherita pizza, spicy guacamole and Caprese salad.” The payoff for the work in the field, said Juliana, “is that both of us like to cook and this makes the cooking a lot more fun.”

Seeking to boost recycling efforts NORTH ARLINGTON –

orth Arlington has applied for a $5,000 N.J. Department of Environmental Protection Bonus Recycling Grant to promote recycling in public places in the borough, Mayor Joseph Bianchi said. “Protecting our environment while reducing the cost of solid waste disposal will be a focus of my efforts as mayor,” Bianchi said. Increasing the volume of recycled materials should help both goals, he added. Recycling paper conserves natural resources, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, saves energy and conserves space in landfills for trash that cannot be recycled and it saves taxpayers money by reducing landfill costs, Bianchi said. Similar benefits result from other recyclables such as glass, aluminum, tin, batteries,

electronics, tires and appliances, he said. Borough Administrator Stephen Lo Iacono said the grant money – if it is received by the borough – would pay for signs and fliers that would be posted in public parks and municipal buildings reminding borough employees and residents alike to practice recycling and to use proper recycling containers. Borough workers, in particular, “need to set an example for the rest of the town,” Lo Iacono said. “This effort will demonstrate our commitment to protecting our environment and at the same time reducing the cost of local government services,” said Bianchi. Mark Cunningham, the borough’s recycling coordinator, said that during 2014, the borough collected 16,492 tons of recyclables from local residents and businesses, picked

up by its trash vendor Cali Carting. In recent years, he said, the borough has been averaging between 16,000 and 17,000 tons annually. Curbside pick-

ups of recyclables are done weekly, alternating newspapers and cardboard one week and bottles, aluminum cans and plastics the other week. With recycling revenues

received annually, the borough has purchased recently a new pickup truck with a heavy lift gate and recycling barrels which are sold to residents for $8 to $10 apiece, he said.

Essex tributes to ‘first patriots’’ J

uly 4 was marked as America’s Independence Day with public ceremonies in Belleville and Nutley. At the historic cemetery behind the old Dutch Reformed Church in Belleville, where the graves of more than 60 Revolutionary War veterans are buried, the Belleville Historical Society unveiled a replica monument for Pvt. Hermanus Brown. Brown, an American militiaman who lived in what is now Nutley, was killed at the Battle of Connecticut Farms in what is now Union June 7, 1780, and his body was brought to the Dutch cemetery where he was interred. On his tombstone was in-

scribed this epitaph: “Behold me here, As you pass by, Who died for Liberty. From British tyrants Now I’m free. My friends, Prepare to follow me.” Perrone said that British loyalists destroyed the original tombstone and that this discovery only came to light in recent years after two surviving relatives of Brown alerted the society that Brown’s remains were in the cemetery. As part of this year’s July 4 ceremonies in Belleville, the Nutley High School Patriot Club and Belleville High School student Jordan Polite

fired a 21-gun salute from a pair of replica Revolutionary War cannon in honor of Pvt. Brown and the 66 other

Revolutionary War soldiers who are buried in the church cemetery. Belleville and Nutley resi-

dents turned out in force and joined local officials including Nutley Mayor Alphonse Petracco and Nutley Commissioner Joseph Scarpelli, along with Belleville Deputy Mayor/Councilman Steve Rovell and Belleville Councilmen John Notari and Vincent Cozzarelli in paying tribute to America’s first troops. In Nutley on June 7, at the Revolutionary War monument in front of Nutley High School, the Patriot Club presented the mayor with a 13-star American flag that was flown in tribute to Pvt. Brown and other soldiers who died in the Battle of Connecticut Farms on the 235th anniversary of the fight.

MELHAM from blocking construction-related deliveries dependent on access through the parking lot. Meanwhile, the Township Council has responded by voting June 29 to hire a highpowered law firm, DeCotiis, FitzPatrick & Cole, headquartered in Teaneck, for an amount not to exceed $16,500 to counter-sue Melham for “frivolous litigation claims.” As outlined in his complaint, filed May 8 by Raritan attorney W. Timothy Howes in Newark Federal Court, Melham said he and business associates assumed the mortgage on a mixed-use

property at 170 Washington Ave., which had a vacant restaurant on the first floor and apartment above, which was in pre-foreclosure, and paid the back taxes owed, at a cost of $200,000. Subsequently, “several” of Melham’s associates exited. In his complaint, Melham said he began talks with the township’s interim Manager Kevin Esposito, who also serves as township assessor, on the possibility of selling the property to the township so that the parking lot possibly could be expanded and that Esposito told him he would recommend such a plan to the governing body.

Melham said he “negotiated a settlement to buy out the mortgage on the property for $225,000 plus fees throughout early 2013. A contract was negotiated and a closing date was set.” He said he then advised Esposito of the buyout and, after that, was told by Esposito that the mayor and council “had authorized him, in closed session, to proceed with due diligence,” starting with getting an appraisal of the property. But the week of the proposed closing, Melham said, the township code enforcement inspector issued violation notices May 7 for 170 Washington, directing the

BradY, BradY & reillY

owner to clean debris and weeds, correct unsafe conditions with interior structure and remove awnings in disrepair. At around the same time, Melham said, Esposito – acting in his capacity of assessor – reduced the property’s assessment, from $528,000 to $298,900 and the township sought an appraisal of the property “for the purpose of an eminent domain proceeding.” In the wake of these developments, Melham said, his remaining business partner bowed out and the closing was canceled. Melham alleged that by acting in a dual role, Esposito “was subject to making decisions as assessor based on the township’s financial interests, as opposed to making decisions based on the value of each individual property.” Further, Melham said, by holding the offices of assessor and manager, Esposito has violated the common law doctrine of incompatibility,

violated state law 40:81-11 which says that, “… the offices of municipal manager and auditor or assessor shall not be held by the same person” and violated state ethics law which says that municipal officers may not undertake any employment or service “which might reasonably be expected to prejudice his independence of judgment in the exercise of official duties.” Melham said that Esposito and the township violated his “constitutional rights as a property owner” and that the township’s actions represented a “taking of [his] property … without compensation ….” Melham is seeking an unspecified “money judgment” for damages plus legal fees from the township and a jury trial on the alleged violation of his civil rights and the taking of his property. Asked for reaction to the suit, Belleville Township Attorney Tom Murphy said the township, as a matter of policy, does not comment on pending litigation.

MJ (ID#16341), a young, male, large mastiff mix, was given to the Bergen County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center because his owner could no longer care for him. After being tossed from home to home, MJ is desperately in search of a family who will not let him out of their sight. Shelter volunteers advise that this 3-year-old, handsome pooch needs a confident and experienced handler who can show him the ropes and boost his self-esteem. MJ can be a bit wary and unsure in new situations, especially when it comes to meeting new people. His new household should try to make the adjustment period as comfortable as possible for him and not overwhelm him with strange visitors and traveling. Volunteers recommend walks, hand feeding and engaging in well-mannered play to help during the bonding process. According to volunteers, this Mastiff mix has gained quite the fan base at the shelter; therefore, they know he will be a hit with any lucky family. Underneath that timid and nervous persona, volunteers

see a happy-go-lucky youngster who is simply yearning for a loving family to give him a chance to show his true colors. The shelter is located at 100 United Lane, Teterboro.

In the past, if a young resident of North Arlington wanted to learn more about basketball, they had to go to camps in neighboring towns or try to improve their skills on their own in the local schoolyards or hoops in the driveway. However, thanks to the brainchild of recreation liaison and assistant basketball coach George Rotondo, the wheels were in motion to allow North Arlington to have its first-ever basketball camp for youngsters. Rotondo brought the idea to the North Arlington Board of Education, which gladly accepted it. Oliver Stringham, the superintendent of schools, was all for it. So was athletic director

Dave Hutchinson. Bob Crudele, a North Arlington alum and the president of the North Arlington Recreation Basketball, also came aboard and was willing to help out at the camp. The camp was held last week at the excellently air-conditioned high school gym, with 35 youngsters getting the chance to enhance their skills, under the tutelage of Vikings head coach Rich Corsetto. “I had camps before at Passaic Tech and Passaic County College and worked at a few camps, so I had an idea of what we could do here,” Corsetto said. “George was the one who did all the leg work and put it all together. We didn’t know how many kids we would get, so to get this kind of turnout is a blessing.” The week-long camp gave the youngsters a chance to learn fundamentals. “We wanted to teach them things, basic skills that they could use to get to where they have to be when they get older,” Corsetto said. “The best thing about it see VIEW next page

Belleville’s Gencarelli named Observer Male Athlete of the Year

Soccer, volleyball standout becomes first Buccaneer recipient By Jim Hague Observer Sports Writer

he first sport that entered P.J. Gencarelli’s life was soccer. “I started when I was about seven or eight,” said the recent Belleville High School graduate. “When I was little, my Dad (Pat) always pushed me to play soccer. After a while, I just got better. I started to like it a lot. I knew I was getting pretty good at it.” By the time Gencarelli entered Belleville High School almost four years ago, he knew that he had a permanent place in the Buccaneers’ regular rotation as a defender. “I knew I had a chance to be a pretty big part of the team right away and that motivated me,” Gencarelli said. “It pushed me to become a better player. I really wanted to be good.” As a freshman, Gencarelli also decided to join the Belleville volleyball team, although he had never played the sport before. “I was sitting in freshman biology class,” Gencarelli said. “I just finished running indoor track, but I didn’t know what I was going to do in the spring. Paul Aiello (the assistant volleyball coach) recruited me to play volleyball, but I had no idea what the sport was all about. I saw it played on the beach a couple of times, but I never saw it played indoors on a court. But I watched our team with a good senior class and I said to myself that it was definitely something to look forward to.” At the time, Gencarelli was a slight 5-foot-10, 150-pound freshman. “It was definitely frustrat-

ing playing against the bigger guys,” Gencarelli said. “I was obviously smaller than them. But John Spina was the JV (junior varsity) coach and he kept us all together and wouldn’t let us quit.” A year later, Gencarelli started to bloom, both physically and athletically, growing to 6-foot-2 and 180 pounds. “I started to take volleyball a lot more seriously as a sophomore,” Gencarelli said. “We all developed well together as a team and that helped me tremendously. I saw a huge improvement in my game. When I started playing volleyball, I did it for fun. I never thought I would take it as seriously as I did.” The result turned out to be one of the best all-around athletic careers in the history of Belleville High School. Gencarelli earned All-Essex County honors in both soccer and volleyball. He earned All-State honors in volleyball.

He led the Buccaneers’ soccer team to a brilliant 13-5-2 record his senior year and guided the Bucs to a 27-3 record in volleyball and a berth in an NJSIAA state sectional title match, a feat never before accomplished by a Belleville volleyball team. Gencarelli was a standout defender in soccer, a shutdown relentless defensive expert who also scored five goals and had three assists. “I had a good run in soccer and it ended pretty well,” Gencarelli said. “I enjoyed working with Marlon (Rodriguez) going up and down the field. Being able to score as a defender was really motivating for me. When the ball was in the air, I was going to go get it to try to put my head on the ball. I think that made us stronger as a team.” In volleyball, Gencarelli was the do-all and end-all on a see GENCARELLI page

Joseph A. DeLuca, M.D., F.A.C.S. EYE PROTECTION FOR ATHLETES

Of the more than 600,000 eye injuries related to sports or recreational activities that occur each year, 42,000 are severe enough to require ER treatment. A most unfortunate statistic associated with sports-related eye injuries is that fully 90 percent of them are preventable. With this in mind, athletes of all kinds are strongly encouraged to wear eye protection that may prevent them from sustaining a blinding injury that could spell the end of their participation in the sport or activity of choice. “Street wear” consisting of corrective eyewear or sunglasses that do not conform to “ASTM standard F803” places sports participants at a far greater risk of eye injury than those

wearing no eye protection at all. The proper eye protection is crucial for athletes as well as certain occupations. Our philosophy is to provide cost-efficient eye care to all of our patients in a compassionate and friendly manner. We’re located at 20 Park Avenue, Lyndhurst, where we offer treatment in all areas of eye care. Please call 201 896-0096 (our optical shop 201 896-0007) to schedule an appointment.

GENCARELLI from state-ranked power. “I didn’t want to let my teammates down,” Gencarelli said. “I knew it was my sport. I had a passion for it. I started doing it for fun, but then the attention and accolades came. I’m proud of myself for it all.” Last season, Gencarelli collected 450 kills, giving him a total of 1,045 for his career. He had 143 service points, 128 digs and 41 blocks. For his efforts, Gencarelli has been selected as The Observer Male Athlete of the Year for the 2014-2015 scholastic sports year. It marked the 13th year that The Observer has presented a Male Athlete of the Year award and the first time that the recipient came from Belleville High School. The award goes to the best athlete who represents himself in more than one varsity sport. Gencarelli received his award recently from Observer general manager Robert Pezzolla. His coaches applauded Gencarelli’s dedication and devotion to both sports. “He was able to play different positions from a freshman,” said Belleville head soccer coach Carlos Goncalves. “He grew a lot as a kid, but he grew a lot as a player. By the time he was a junior, he exceeded all expectations. He was athletic, tall and could score goals off headers because of his height. He was very good in the air. I remember he scored two goals against East Orange Campus and both came off headers. It was a very important game and set the tone for the rest of the season. The goals he scored were always important goals.” Added Goncalves, “He was very critical to our team’s success. Not only playing, but communicating with the others. He was encouraging the younger kids all the time. He really took to the leadership role. He was really great to coach.” Belleville head volleyball coach John Spina also sang Gencarelli’s praises. “He had tremendous work ethic,” Spina said. “He worked harder than anyone. He didn’t mind being coached. When I told him something, he listened and put it to practice repeatedly. He would practice

He never had an ego, never thought he was too good.” Spina had fond memories of watching Gencarelli develop as an all-state volleyball player. “He created a solid hitting style,” Spina said. “Some wind up and hit the ball into the stands or trying to go through the wall. P.J. would hit a perfect shot and then ask, ‘Is this right?’ He worked so hard and just wanted to get better. I knew right off the bat he was going to be a good player because of his intelligence. He was like a coach on the floor as a freshman and knew all the rotations. He just had that mental edge over everyone else. He learned a very complex game very quickly, yet was still willing to work at things.” Spina said that Gencarelli’s growth spurt helped him tremendously. “It was huge,” Spina said. “It helped him get over the top of

the blocks and hit down with authority. He physically got so strong and that helped him. If someone put up a block, he was able to power through that block. The growth allowed him to jump higher and hit the ball harder. He was able to stay away from injury as well.” Gencarelli became such a powerful volleyball player that he has earned a place at NCAA Division III national champion Stevens Tech, where he will play volleyball next year. “It’s tremendous,” Spina

said. “I couldn’t ask this for a better kid. He deserves everything that comes to him. He went from never touching a volleyball to a First Team All-State player. It’s very inspiring. He’s going to a great school. I couldn’t be happier for him.” “I never dreamed I’d be going to college for volleyball,” Gencarelli said. “I’m really excited to be going to Stevens Tech. I’m so excited. I can’t wait to get on campus and be with the rest of the guys.” Ironically, Gencarelli was once a soccer teammate of

Danny Cordeiro of North Arlington, last year’s recipient of The Observer Male Athlete of the Year. They were on a Kearny Thistle youth soccer team together. Cordeiro is currently a standout soccer player at NJIT. “I think it’s tremendous that he got this award and now I did,” Gencarelli said. “It feels really good to be the first one from Belleville. I’m not going to lie, but it’s a big thrill being the first one.” And the one that all Belleville athletes will have to try to emulate from now on.

I have a big family and I don’t think I ever played or ran without someone of my family being there.” So it all came together last week for Failace, as she signed her letter last week with her entire family present. It was a historic day, because Failace created history. “It’s incredible,” said Failace’s head coach in both soccer and track, Kim Hykey. “She’s a Division I track athlete. It doesn’t get any better than that. This is a good ending to her high school career and a great beginning for her.” Hykey was asked what it

Not many kids want to do that. Hopefully, I can have a kid who is half as good and determined. She’s a well rounded kid who made my life so much easier.” In 2013, it looked as if Failace would lose a shot at becoming a scholarship athlete. She suffered a torn ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) and also damaged the meniscus. It was a tedious process and a major rehabilitation after surgery. “I knew I had to come back,” Failace said. “If I was out of sports, I don’t know what I would do. I was coming back no matter what.” Failace’s uncle, Frank Benedetto Jr., is a physical therapist who works at Paramus Orthopedic Physical Therapy. “He took care of me right away,” Failace said. “I was blessed that he helped

If your inability to hear certain sounds leaves you feeling out of the loop at home, at work, and in social situations, be thankful that current hearing instrument technology can keep you connected in ways you might otherwise have not found possible. This is especially true of adults who have yet to tap into the digital audio world that younger people find so compelling and essential. Today’s digital instruments not only have computer chips, which modify the volume of incoming sound in only the frequencies that the wearer needs amplified, but they can also sync up wirelessly to Bluetooth. This connectivity enables users of digital hearing instruments to connect more fully

with others in an increasingly expanding wireless world. Today’s personal hearing devices are like mini computers – they’re digital, with wireless technology that allows the aids to connect to cell phones, televisions and iPods. To schedule a consultation, please call us today. No two auditory losses are the same. The hearing devices that are suited for a family member, a friend or a loved one are not necessarily the best solution for you. Our focus is on individual customization. P.S. Some digital hearing instruments enable wearers to stream audio from their MP3 players, lap tops, or TVs right to their hearing instruments.

BABY SEARCH from

BUSINESS

Century.” It is more than probable that some of those former infants now reside in Observer towns, which is why we are publicizing the “Babies Search,” which is sponsored by the museum in conjunction with St. Mary’s Hospital, Passaic. Williams was born in Rutherford in 1883 and lived his entire life in the family home at 9 Ridge Road, which is where he also established his medical practice. (The house, a private residence, still stands.) The doctor later opened a clinic in Rutherford Town Hall. He was also affiliated with Passaic General Hospital (now known as St. Mary’s) and -according to Wikipedia -- served as its chief of pediatrics from 1924 until his death in 1963 at age 79. (We are not certain about the accuracy of that end-of- practice date, since he reportedly suffered a series of strokes in the late 1940s -- but it’s possible a Williamsdelivered baby was born as late as the ‘60s.) The museum is asking anyone who was delivered by Williams to contact it at 201-935-1175 or by emailing exhibits manager Jesse Gordon at jgordon.mmus@gmail. com. “If they have their birth certificate showing the doctor’s name, that’d be great,” Gordon said. Remember, you did not necessarily have to have been born in the hospital. Back when Williams was practicing, at-home births were not uncommon. A reception for the “babies” is scheduled at the museum, 91 Crane Ave., Rutherford, at 4 p.m., July 29. “But please call us ahead of time,” Gordon urged. As of Saturday, she said, more than 20 “Williams’ Babies” had signed up. The exhibit itself runs through September and spotlights both Williams’ medical practice and

poetry, with items from his estate on loan from his granddaughter Daphne Williams Fox. One prize feature is the doctor-poet’s portable Olivetti typewriter, which he kept in his medical office. The story is that he would compose poetry in between patient appointments, and if someone entered the room unexpectedly, he’d quickly tuck the Olivetti into his desk. Also on view are delightful animal paintings, created by the doctor and his brother, which decorated the walls of the waiting room and served to cheer up nervous children. He also crafted child-sized furniture. Our “Baby Search” visit was our first to the Meadowlands Museum, which we were delighted to discover is located just a few blocks north of the Lyndhurst border, across the Orient Way bridge over Rt. 3. Chatting with director Gilda Healy, we learned we were not alone in our surprise at its location. “We have an identity problem,” Healy said. “Everyone thinks we’re either over by MetLife Stadium or at the Meadowlands

Environmental Center. We’re not.” We intend to return to the 1804 former farmhouse often and suggest that readers plan a visit, too. The museum is open Wednesdays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free; donations are encouraged. If you’d like to do some more exploring, visit William Carlos Williams’ grave, which is in Hillside Cemetery on Orient Way, on the Lyndhurst side of the bridge over Rt. 3. He’s buried in the family plot. Visit the office for directions; the grave is not hard to find. Standing at that grave, paying our respects, it struck us how this literary light, known the world over, had such firm South Bergen roots. Yes, he traveled widely and studied in Geneva, Paris and Leipzig, but he was born, lived, raised a family, wrote several volumes of poetry along with fiction, essays and plays, had a medical practice, died and is at rest in an area whose circumference we would put -- only a guess -- at perhaps a half-mile. Just something to ponder.
