Over 1,700 fed at drive-up BBQ for first responders

The Steve Rich Group and a large group of volunteers and sponsors staffed, donated supplies and provided funding for the “Tankque to the Unsung Heroes” drive-up barbecue event on Saturday, April 25 in the parking lot of the Park Ridge Pool on Colony Avenue. The community-supported event was a way to say “thank you” to the healthcare workers, police officers, firefighters and EMTs who are working hard to keep northern New Jersey safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. For those wondering what “Tankque” means, the contraption is a one-of-a-kind cooking trailer built by Steve Rich & Associates and designed for charity and fundraising events. Old oil tanks were repurposed to make a custom-designed trailer that includes a wood burning pizza oven, wood-fired rotisserie with three spits, a smoker, three BBQs, and two indirect chambers for slow cooking. It can produce up to 50 pizzas an hour and has an amazing 50 square feet of barbecue cooking space for Organizers Steve Rich and Glenn Laga at the “Tankque to the Unsung Heroes” event April 25.

how long he has lived in town, or what his contributions to Hillsdale have been, or even what qualifies him to seek a seat on the Hillsdale council. His letter to the editor on April 27 shows a lack of understanding of local government and his conclusions are thus incorrect. I firmly believe that my overriding responsibility and obligation

The robotics team is comprised of students from the Pascack Valley Regional High School District. The Pi-oneers sent a request for ways to help first responders and frontline workers to a network of high school robotics teams throughout the country. They received face shields that had been made by the Cobalt Colts FIRST Robotics Team 6547 from Overlook Park, Kansas. The Pi-oneers also received the mold and supplies to produce more shields and will be donating them to local first responders and frontline healthcare workers.

Updates from the museum

A RELIC OF OLD-TIME EDUCATION

PASCACK VALLEY

The Pascack Historical Society, located at 19 Ridge Ave. in Park Ridge, proactively closed its doors to the public in mid-March as the threat posed by Covid-19 became increasingly apparent. Sadly, like countless other local events, the museumʼs eagerly anticipated spring lectures had to be postponed. A presentation on the history of the Pascack Valley railroad line that had been set for March 22 will be rescheduled in the near future. The museum was to host Park Ridge Day on May 2, followed by a lecture on wampum production in the Pascack Valley, featuring archaeologist Eric Johnson, the following afternoon. Those events, too, have now been postponed. But while the museumʼs doors are closed to visitors for the time being, PHS President Jacqueline A. Martin notes that we are all living through an historic event—that decades from now, there could even be a PHS exhibit dedicated to the pandemic of 2020. “Please help PHS preserve the history we are all living right now by saving images and artifacts that directly relate to the effects of the pandemic in the Pascack Valley— these items will be added to the PHS collection for future generations to study,” she says. For now, you can visit the museum on Facebook (search “Pascack Historical Society”), where old photographs, news clippings, postcards and more are being posted often. For additional information on what the museum has to offer, visit www.pascackhistoricalsociety.org.

In the coming weeks, we will take a look at some of the Pascack Valley schoolhouses of yesterday. You are encouraged to share the photos with your children as you educate them at home. So far weʼve gone to Park Ridge, Hillsdale, River Vale and Westwood. This week we go to the little borough called Woodcliff, as it was known before the reservoir was built.

PASCACK VALLEY’S HOMETOWN NEWSPAPER

Publisher Assistant Editor Art Director Director of Advertising

There is a charming remnant of education in the old days situated on Woodcliff Avenue. In the midst of the modern Woodcliff Middle School campus is the stone structure that once stood alone at the site as Woodcliff Public School. Itʼs the oldest continually operating school building in Bergen County, having opened on Sept. 9, 1895. After the Borough of Woodcliff broke off from Washington Township to incorporate in 1894, the first local board of education meeting soon followed. There was an important matter at hand: securing a piece of land upon which to build the boroughʼs very own schoolhouse. Resident G.M. Fairchild came through with an offer to donate a plot of land to the community. The schoolhouse was designed by Samuel Burrage Reed, who, in addition to having been named the first mayor of Woodcliff, was also one of Americaʼs leading architects. In the same year, Reed designed St. Paulʼs Episcopal Church (the “Old Stone Church”), which is still standing at the corner of Grand Avenue and Woodland Road in Montvale. The two buildings are very similar in style. The entire school cost less than $2,500 to build. It had one classroom that contained 26 student desks, three chairs, and a desk for the teacher. Miss Fannie M. Casine, the first teacher, received an annual salary of $60 (the equivalent of about $1,800 today). In its first year, 11 students attended the school between kindergarten and eighth grade. The schoolʼs second teacher, Mr. H. L. Terry, took over in 1897 and started a library fund. In the 1898–1899 school year families raised $24.13 towards the fund, and this, coupled with a $20 grant from the state, enabled the purchase of a bookcase that became the schoolʼs first library. By 1900 there were 329 people living in Woodcliff. Of these, 83 were school-age children from 5 to 16. Still, only about 40 kids attended school on any given day. Those were the years before compulsory attendance laws, when chores around the farm might take precedence over the three Rʼs. A news clipping from 1902 reports on eighth grade graduation exercises in our Pascack Valley towns (there were no local high schools yet). Westwood had 17 graduates, Park Ridge had seven, Hillsdale had two and Woodcliff had one. —Kristin Beuscher

PASCACK VALLEY Vitalant—working in conjunction with its hospital partners—has launched a program to treat COVID-19 patients with blood plasma donated by individuals who have recovered from the disease. This blood component, known as “convalescent plasma,” contains antibodies that may provide seriously ill patients an extra boost in fighting the disease. There currently are neither vaccines nor proven treatments for COVID-19, because the virus is so new. Although trials for a vaccine are underway, it is expected to be months before one is approved.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has identified and approved convalescent plasma treatment as an “emergency investigational new drug.” It is currently the only antibody treatment available to COVID-19 patients and, as such, is a promising new tool. Vitalant is collecting convalescent plasma—by appointment only—at its locations in Montvale, Paramus, and Parsippany. Those interested in donating plasma are encouraged to apply through the Vitalant website Vitalant.org/covidfree. Additional

details are available by calling 866-CV-PLSMA (866-287-5762). Eligibility criteria for convalescent plasma donors are: Prior diagnosis of COVID-19, documented by a laboratory test; complete resolution of symptoms for at least 14 days; and meeting all other current FDA donor eligibility requirements to donate plasma. Even for those who meet these requirements, additional tests may be required. In some instances, those who have recovered from COVID-19 may be able to donate, even if they did not have an initial laboratory test.

TOWNSHIP OF WASHINGTON

Township launches COVID-19 task force, seeks volunteers In response to the developing COVID-19 outbreak in the United States and right here in our community, the Township of Washington has convened a COVID-19 Task Force which is supported by the mayor, council, administration, police department, and Office of Emergency Management. The township is actively looking for volunteers to help out in the following specific areas: • Grocery shopping • Prescription pickup

• Food donations (marked bins have been placed at FreshGrocer, RiteAid and Town Hall) • Meal delivery • Toiletries donations • Assembling care packages • Mental wellness services • Homemade face covering (mask) donations If you are interested in being a part of these efforts, email covid19taskforce@twpofwashington.us or call (201) 981-2997. The COVID-19 Task Force is

charged with preparing, providing, and managing any possible town impact, resident needs, and wellness needs related to the coronavirus outbreak. The task forceʼs central focus is ensuring the health and safety of residents; maintaining Townshipʼs commitment to preserving our community during this time of quarantine and social distancing. For more information, log onto www.twpofwashington.us and follow the link for the COVID-19 Task Force.

John’s Famous Bagels www.johnsfamousbagels.net

If youʼre hankering for bagels and lox, youʼre in luck. With loctions in Emerson, Park Ridge, Westwood and Northvale (see ad on page 15 for contact information), Johnʼs Famous Bagels has been offering a variety of deli foods for 20 years. Owner Hazem Megahed, whose customers affectionately call “Adam,” said, “We are even more popular nowadays, because we have items that people cannot find in supermarkets—freshly made salads, cold cuts, cheeses, eggs, milk, juice, breads.” Despite the stay-at-home restrictions, Johnʼs Famous bagels still has over 180 customers a day from 5:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., and they do delivery as well as pickup. “A lot of people are happy that we are open and that they can stay

home.” Megahed, like other store owners, is upbeat and looking forward to returning to normal soon. “We are serving our customers so people can stay home, and everyone appreciates that we have such a good selection.” Jack’s Cafe—Westwood (201) 666-0400 www.jackscafenj.com

Owner Chris DʼEletto said that Jackʼs Cafe is offering its full menu as well as daily specials for pickup and that he will deliver food to people who are unable to travel. “Business has been steady, especially on Fridays and Saturdays,” he said. “We have many of our regular customers as well as some new ones. I am delighted at how generous many people are by giving a very nice tip.” DʼEletto and his wife Risa

have also started a program called Feed the Heroes, in which they donate lunches and dinners to healthcare workers on the front lines against Covid-19 (see “Help Jackʼs Cafe,” page 12). The Iron Horse—Westwood (201) 666-9682 www.theironhorse.com

said. Iron Horse owner Sean Tremble agrees: “The reason that we got into the hospitality business is because we really like people. Whereas we used to see hundreds of people here every day, we still have 80 to 125 of our usual dine-in customers who have become takeout customers. This makes us feel like weʼre doing something right.” Another impressive factor at the Iron Horse is that they are keeping 11 full-time employees and everyone is working between 30 and 40 hours a week. According to Tremble, “The day that they say, ʻWe got this, open your restaurant,ʼ weʼre going to hire every person back!”

The venerable Iron Horse The Cornerstone—Hillsdale (201) 666-8688 restaurant, founded in 1972, is in www.thecornerstonenj.com full swing offering their famous cheese stuffed burgers, chicken wings and other popular American fare. Everything on the menu is available seven days a week from noon until 8 p.m. Manager Michael Krantz explained that customers get their orders picked up and delivered through Grubhub, Doordash or Ubereats. “We are very busy, revenues Another mecca of American are pretty good, and our customers all want us to stay open,” Krantz fare is Hillsdaleʼs The Cornerstone. Families have been flocking to this casual restaurant since 2006 for burgers, ribs, pizza, bar food, and alcoholic beverages. The Cornerstoneʼs loyal customers are still in abundance. “We are busier than I ever could have dreamed!” says General Manager Frank Hernandez. To accommodate people on a budget, The Cornerstone offers several family specials each day that contain enough food for five people. Priced from $25 to $38, these specials may include prime rib or chicken parmigiana with vodka sauce. “We try to be fair and not make people spend hundreds of dollars to feed their family,” he explains. The Cornerstone is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week, for pickup. Deliveries are available after 4 p.m.

Domani—Hillsdale (201) 722-8881 domanirestaurants.com

For people who love Italian food, there are many restaurants from which to choose. Domani in Hillsdale has been a staple of casual Neapolitan dining that delights customers of all ages and their families with fresh made pastas, chicken parmigiana, sole Francaise and many other selections. Popular desserts include lava explosion cake and tiramisu. Chef Leo Sosa creates the large variety of delicious dishes with the assistance of several cooks. Owner Novak Dinic is delighted with the excellent support that the restaurant has been receiving from the community. “We have loyal customers who began coming here when we opened 20 years ago,” Dinic says. “With the current situation and health concerns, they order from here because they know we will do the right thing as far as cleanliness and preparation. As we learn to live with this new reality, it is wonderful to get ʻthank yousʼ very often.” Domani is open for pickup and takeout 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Bellissimo—Montvale (201) 746-6669 www.bellissimonj.com

long line of people waiting to get in. The elegant continental restaurant is known for its mouth-watering specialties such as rigatoni bolognese, chicken crusted with pecans in Dijon mustard sauce and chocolate mousse cake. Under the current circumstances, owner Tony Meto explained that their loyal customers are delighted that that are open and doing curbside pickup orders from 11:30 a.m. to 7:45 p.m. Monday through Friday and 1:30–7:45 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. “Everyone is so happy that weʼre in business that they tell their family and friends to order from us, too,” he said. “We have customers calling from as far away as Florida and North Carolina; people call to say that they are praying for us and our employees.” Meto is known not just for his fine cuisine, but also for his outreach initiatives. He has partnered with several businesses to send food to facilities such as Valley Hospital in Ridgewood. On his own, Meto also donates trays of food every month to the Paterson Menʼs Shelter. “I like to reach out to people who are less fortunate,” he said. “I feel blessed when I give back.” Meto says that his number one priority right now is for everyone to stay safe and healthy, and he is certain that “we will be back stronger.”

Paper shredding event is still on

While so many local events have been canceled and/or postponed, hereʼs some welcome news: Emersonʼs paper shredding event set for this coming Saturday is a GO! The event will take place May 9 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Emerson Borough Hall parking lot on Municipal Place. Shredding confidential documents, as opposed to putting them in the trash or recycling bin, can help you avoid identity theft. Bring your sensitive documents—bills, medical records, bank statements, etc.—to be safely shredded. Hardcover books, magazines, newspapers, photographs and X-rays are not accepted by the shredding company. While this event will take place as planned, special safety precautions will be in place.

Amid pandemic, domestic violence victims can find support you. You live with an abusive partner, and your home is not a safe place to be. You could be anyone, of any age. A woman, a man.

Prosecutor: Assault charge stems from event in Emerson

A 27-year-old male from River Edge has been charged with aggravated sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child for the second time this year, with the most recent arrest stemming from an incident that took place in Emerson. On Thursday, April 23, the River Edge Police Department received information that Cory Bensen had sexually abused a child under the age of 13 in Emerson. The Bergen County Prosecutorʼs Office Special Victims Unit was contacted and an investigation was initiated by the Bergen County Prosecutorʼs Office Special Victims Unit and the Emerson Police Department. As a result of the investigation, on Friday, April 24, Bensen was charged with one count of aggravated sexual assault, a first degree crime; and one count of endangering the welfare of a child, a second degree crime. Bensen, who the prosecutorʼs report lists as being single and unemployed, was served with his complaint while at the Bergen County Jail, where he is currently detained on unrelated criminal

tic violence. They could be neighbors. Friends. Loved ones. They could be you. As more and more people find themselves cut off by quarantine or self-isolation during the COVID-19 crisis, the risk of domestic violence—and the need for programs and services that mitigate its devastating effects—is greater now than ever. As Bergen Countyʼs only nonprofit domestic violence intervention agency, Center for Hope and Safety stands ready to provide shelter and hope during this difficult and frightening time. “Our Safe House emergency

shelter remains open; a haven for battered women and children,” writes Julye Myner, Ph.D., executive director of the Center for Hope and Safety. “Our Transitional Housing facilities offer safe, temporary housing for victims of domestic violence seeking permanent homes. Our Legal Services Program is at work, creating a pathway to freedom for survivors through the legal system. Our Community Services program offers food, clothing, counseling and assistance to those who have left abusive relationships to create safe, violence-free lives. Our doors remain open to those suffer-

ing from violence in their homes.” Even now, during this worldwide crisis, you or someone you know does not have to remain trapped in a violent home. Despite this pandemic, Center for Hope and Safety is here, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at (201) 944-9600, or, if you canʼt make that phone call, text LOVEIS to 22522. Visit the website hopeandsafetyjn.org for more information. “If you are suffering from domestic violence, you are not alone,” Myner says. “We are here, and we will help.”

At that time, police records had listed him as being engaged and employed as a highway operations technician.

Pure Barre has taken studio fitness classes virtual

By Brianna Behrens

Itʼs May - the time of year when the world blooms and brightens, and everyone starts to realize that summer is right around the corner. In a normal reality, gyms and fitness studios would be filled with members focused on their summer bodies. However, the pandemic has changed everything; gyms, playgrounds and many parks have been closed to limit the spread of the COVID-19 disease.

In light of this situation, businesses have responded quickly to government-mandated closures. One fitness studio, Pure Barre Park Ridge, immediately shifted to a virtual class setting upon hearing the news. On March 16, the local barre studio held its last in-person classes. Two days later, livestream classes were up and running for all clients. Although the virtual shift has altered the studioʼs business tremendously, the classes have been well received by loyal

Pure Barre members as well as those of the sister location in Wyckoff. The class count has slowly increased to nearly 70 bookings per class across two studios since the livestreaming began. The feedback from members has been uplifting. One longtime Pure Barre Park Ridge client expressed her gratitude for the virtual classes. “Iʼm so thankful that they have decided to offer us the livestream sessions,” Rosemary, a

Owner of Pure Barre Park Ridge, Alison, takes her daily class right from her living room.

resident of Washington Township, said. “Taking class with familiar instructors at home makes this situation feel a little more normal.” While nothing can quite replace the experience of a Pure Barre class in-studio, the virtual option has made a positive impact on the Park Ridge and Wyckoff communities. The decision to redesign the business into an entirely online platform has not been easy for Park Ridge studio owner and Wyckoff co-owner, Alison Hay. But the encouraging response from members has made the virtual shift worth it. “The goal of offering as many livestream classes as possible was to maintain a strong community and client base,” Hay said. “We wanted to show our Pure Barre family that weʼre still here for them during hard times, and Iʼm so glad that we are able to spread that message.” Engagement with the Park Ridge studio has remained high and consistent, especially through social media outlets. Hay said she receives messages daily from members via email, Instagram and Facebook, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to work out with their favorite instructors from home.

“It means so much to see how supportive our community is during this time,” she said. Depending on how long the pandemic continues, Pure Barre studios will continue to stream their classes through Zoom, a virtual meeting and webinar platform. With a high demand for the regular schedule, Pure Barre Park Ridge is offering morning and evening classes in conjunction with the Wyckoff studio. There are multiple times throughout the day to join a virtual class, and more details can be found on the studioʼs social media and website. Even though time may feel like it has stopped, summer is quickly approaching. Thanks to studios like Pure Barre Park Ridge, those fitness-dedicated members and anyone who wants to stay healthy and active can achieve their goals in the wake of this new normal. Whether itʼs the need for routine, fitness or community, all of these can be found in one 50-minute class. For more information on the benefits of Pure Barre, check out www.purebarre.com or contact the Park Ridge studio at parkridge@purebarre.com.

We have also started a phone buddy program that keeps our volunteers and our clients together and in touch through regular phone calls.” “The best way to help support our seniors right now is through monetary donations to the program,” said Martin. “The cost to pivot the program to frozen meals has put an unforeseen financial burden on the organization and support from the community would be greatly appreciated.” She adds, “It is very important that you check in with your elderly neighbors to see how they are doing.” You can donate to Meals on Wheels North Jersey via their website, mealsonwheelsnorthjersey.org, or by mailing a donation to Meals on Wheels North Jersey, 100 Madison Ave., Suite 3, Westwood, NJ 07675.

Cinco de Mayo gives people an opportunity to celebrate Mexican culture, throw a party, or at the very least, go out and indulge in Mexican food. Cinco de Mayo is mistakenly believed to honor Mexican independence, but Mexico actually celebrates its independence in September. Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican armyʼs victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza during the Franco-Mexican war. A relatively minor holiday in Mexico, Cinco de Mayo has nonetheless become a global phenomenon. Cinco de Mayo falls on a Tuesday this year. That means Cinco de Mayo coordinates perfectly with the observance of “Taco Tuesday.” For the past 30 years, the “Taco Tuesday” trademark has belonged to Taco Johnʼs, a Wyoming-based fastfood chain. However, the Taco Tuesday phenomenon has spread, and now Taco Tuesday is a weekly occurrence across the country, and a big marketing opportunity for many regional restaurants—not to mention a perfect chance for families to gather around the dinner table to enjoy some tacos. This year Cinco de Mayo celebrations can enjoy even more fanfare by capitalizing on Taco Tuesday mania. With a nod to both Taco Tuesday and Cinco de Mayo, here are some tasty taco tips. • Stick to soft taco shells,

according to famed chef Aaron Sanchez, who also hosted “Taco Trip” on the Cooking Channel. He says hard shells are for tostadas and not tacos, and soft corn shells are his preference. • Make a DIY seasoning mix for taco meats from chili powder, cumin, garlic, and other spices. An added bonus is that homemade seasonings are typically lower in salt than prepackaged varieties. • If youʼre concerned about ingredients falling out of the taco, use small shells or tortillas to reduce the number of bites need-

Recipe ed to eat the taco. Or you can just place another shell or tortilla on your dish to catch what falls out of taco number one. • Think outside of the box with any number of fillings. Try a variety of sliced raw or cooked vegetables for a different twist. Taco Tuesday and Cinco de Mayo align this year for a celebration of Mexican culture and delicious food.

WHICH RETIREMENT PLAN IS RIGHT FOR YOUR BUSINESS? Editorʼs note: The following article is for informational purposes only. If you own a small business, there are many ERIC KOHLMEIER retirement plan alternatives available to help you and your eligible employees save for retirement. For most closely held business owners, a Simplified Employee Pension Individual Retirement Account (SEP IRA) was once the most cost-effective choice. Then

the Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (SIMPLE IRA) became a viable alternative. Today you may find that a defined benefit or 401(k) plan best suits your needs. To make an informed decision on which plan is right for your business, review the differences carefully before you choose. • Simplified Employee Pension Individual Retirement Account (SEP IRA). This plan is flexible, easy to set up, and has low administrative costs. An employer signs a plan adoption agreement, and IRAs are set up for each eligi-

ble employee. When choosing this plan, keep in mind that it does not allow employees to save through payroll deductions, and contributions are immediately 100% vested. The maximum an employer can contribute each year is 25% of an employeeʼs eligible compensation, up to a maximum of $280,000 for 2019. However, the contribution for any individual cannot exceed $56,000 in 2019. Employer contributions are typically discretionary and may vary from year to year. With this plan, the same formula must be used to calculate the

contribution amount for all eligible employees, including any owners. Eligible employees include those who are age 21 and older and those employed (both part time and full time) for three of the last five years. • Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (SIMPLE). If you want a plan that encourages employees to save for retirement, a SIMPLE IRA might be appropriate for you. In order to select this plan, you must have 100 or fewer eligible employees who earned $5,000 or more in compensation in the preceding year and have no other employer-sponsored retirement plans to which contributions were made or accrued during that calendar year. There are no annual IRS filings or complex paperwork, and employer contributions are tax deductible for your business. The plan encourages employees to save for retirement through payroll deductions; contributions are immediately 100% vested. The maximum salary deferral limit to a SIMPLE IRA plan cannot exceed $13,000 for 2019. If an employee is 50 or older before Dec. 31, then an additional catchup contribution of $3,000 is permitted. Each year the employer must decide to do either a matching contribution (the lesser of the employeeʼs salary deferral or 3% of the employeeʼs compensation) or nonmatching contribution of 2% of an employeeʼs compensation (limited to $280,000 for 2019). All participants in the plan must be notified of the employerʼs decision each year no later than Nov. 2 for the upcoming year. • Defined benefit pension plan. This type of a plan may be a good solution for a profitable company with stable cash flow with intentions of benefitting employees over the age of 40. This type of plan can also help build savings quickly. It generally produces a much larger tax-deductible contribution for your business than a defined contribution plan; however, annual employer contributions are mandatory since each participant is promised a monthly benefit at retirement age. Since this plan is more complex to administer, the services of an enrolled actuary are required. All plan assets must be held in a pooled account, and your employees cannot direct their investments. Certain factors affect an employerʼs contribution for a plan, such as current value of the plan assets, the ages of employees, date th ary 25 vers ls ni ia An Spec

of hire, and compensation. A participating employee with a large projected benefit and only a few years until normal retirement age generates a large contribution because there is little time to accumulate the necessary value to produce the stated benefit at retirement. The maximum annual benefit at retirement is the lesser of 100% of the employeeʼs compensation or $225,000 per year in 2019 (indexed for inflation). This plan design should only be considered with the intention of funding for a minimum of five years. • 401(k) plans. This plan may be right for your company if you want to motivate your employees to save towards retirement and give them a way to share in the firmʼs profitability. 401(k) plans are best suited for companies seeking flexible contribution methods. When choosing this plan type, keep in mind that the employee and employer have the ability to make contributions. The maximum salary deferral limit for a 401(k) plan is $19,000 for 2019. If an employee is age 50 or older before Dec. 31, then an additional catch-up contribution of $6,000 is permitted. The maximum amount you, as the employer, can contribute is 25% of the eligible employeeʼs total compensation (capped at $280,000 for 2019). Individual allocations for each employee cannot exceed the lesser of 100% of compensation or $56,000 in 2019 ($62,000 if age 50 or older). The allocation of employer profit-sharing contributions can be skewed to favor older employees, if using ageweighted and new comparability features. Generally, IRS Forms 5500 and 5500-EZ (along with applicable schedules) must be filed each year. Once you have reviewed your businessʼs goals and objectives, check with your financial advisor to evaluate the best retirement plan option for your financial situation.

Masks for Miracle Workers raising funds for respirators A local fundraiser has been launched to provide first responders, doctors, nurses, and all other medical professionals who are working in local hospitals with proper personal protective equipment (PPE), such as the N95 respirator. Organized by Park Ridge resident and Ramapo College senior Jason Vradenburg, the fundraiser is called Masks for Miracle Worke r s (MasksforMiracleWorkers.org). “It has become abundantly clear that hospitals such as Hackensack University Medical Center and Valley hospital are in desperate need of more N95 respirators

and are actively seeking donations. I decided to create Masks for Miracle Workers once COVID-19 gripped the northern New Jersey and New York area,” Vradenburg tells Pascack Press. Vradenburgʼs initial goal is to raise enough money to purchase 2,000 masks, at $1.50 per unit, to donate to Hackensack University Medical Center in Hackensack, along with Valley Hospital in Ridgewood. “The effort is in part because now more than ever, our state, first responders, and medical professionals need us. While these brave individuals go into work knowing the risks they are taking, they are

reusing old equipment that is never meant to be worn more than once,” he says. “It is absolutely crucial that our frontline workers stay healthy so they can continue to battle this virus. In order for them to do that, they need to be equipped with the proper sup-

plies.” One-hundred percent of donations will go directly to the purchase of these masks, Vradenburg says. “We are trying our hardest to raise as much money as we can, as fast as possible, so we can quickly

place an order to get them to the hospitals,” he adds. “Please visit www.MasksforMiracleWorkers.o rg to read how you can help raise the funds needed and read about who I am, and my goals for this campaign. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.”

Hospital recruiting recovered patients Hackensack Meridian Health has been approved by the federal government to begin recruiting recovered and recovering COVID-19 patients to assess their blood and test it for antibodies in response to the virus. These antibodies may help other patients who are infected with COVID-19. Patients with promising antibodies will be asked to come back to donate an additional blood

sample, which may be helpful for sick COVID-19 patients. “This convalescent plasma therapy is still pending approval from the FDA, which we hope to receive soon,” the hospital said in a statement. “If you, or someone you know, have recovered or are recovering from COVID-19, you may be eligible to donate.” Those interested should send an email to Anna.Ullrich@hackensackmeridian.org.

DR. KAPLAN: Covid-19; the good, the bad and the ugly

Bad news has five times the amount of impact on the brain when compared to the good news. Consequently, you DR. ERIC KAPLAN, should never KAPLAN BRAIN & watch mainBODY stream media because they are always reporting the bad news. It increases stress and anxiety and now is the time where we need to decrease stress and anxiety. Not only should you avoid the negative news, but you should also avoid negative people, or a negative work environment. In addition, if you have a criticism of someone in your life, it is better to share five good things about this person before you offer your one negative feedback. So, for this weekʼs article, letʼs start off first by talking about all of the good things that are happening now.

The Good: One of the positive aspects of health and wellbeing that has resulted from this pandemic is the focus on hygiene and cleanliness. Since the history of time, diseases and viruses have always thrived in dirt and filth. Coronavirus is no different in that aspect. That is why it is so important to clean your hands with soap and water often. It is also highly recommended to clean your phone frequently with alcohol. In addition, if you have

to leave the house, when you return, take off your clothes an shoes upon entering the house so you will not bring back any viruses that may infect people inside. If you were wearing a mask, take it off by the ears, wash it when you get home, and donʼt keep using the same mask all day if you have washables. In regards to Covid-19, the most common place of transmission is at home. It is not usually transmitted while you are outside, and it is usually contracted inside a small confined space between two people who have had a lot of close contact for an extended period of time. If people keep up with the suggestions of hygiene and cleanliness, this will not only stop the spread of this novel coronavirus, but will also stop the spread of many other communicable diseases, viruses, and bacteria. The way most viruses and diseases have been eradicated is through sanitation, clean drinking water, hygiene, education, and cleanliness, so I am really happy this is being stressed right now and I hope it continues even after the fear of coronavirus starts to go away. Another really important aspect of health and well-being that has had a positive effect on the environment and the earth is that the air and water are much cleaner. Due to the lack of traveling, driving, and flying, as well as the closing of many industrial factories, the air has never looked so clean. Because people are staying at home, there is less pollu-

tion in the water, as well. They are buying less junk and throwing away less garbage. In fact, I see a lot of people cleaning their homes now, and donating old things to people that may need them. The oceans are also cleaner because there are less cruise ships, less people at the beach, less oil tankers, and less cargo ships. Even the earth is so much cleaner because people are not littering as much as they were before. It is truly amazing to see how quickly the air, water, and earth cleanse without human interaction. One last positive aspect of this pandemic is that people are becoming more helpful and less selfish. They are checking in with family members and friends a lot more frequently. They are less concerned about themselves and looking for ways to contribute to society. Whether it is making masks, donating to hospitals, offering to go shopping for the elderly, buying food for the needy, or just doing their part to follow recommendations of stayat-home orders and washing their hands frequently, concerned citizens are looking out for each other now more than ever. People are trying to help in any way possible. Whether it's offering free services online, making free videos, educating the masses, sharing free books, or giving away free classes, think about any talent or knowledge that you have that you can offer to our community. It is truly inspirational to see the entire world work togeth-

er to come up with ways to save lives and help their fellow men and women.

The Bad: The government, the news, and the WHO are not telling you the best way to save lives.We will not save lives by living in fear, staying in lockdown, quarantining until a vaccine is made, and only leaving the house to go to Target, Walmart, the liquor store, Home Depot, Costco, the supermarket, the convenience store, or the Dollar Tree. We will save lives by focusing on prevention instead of looking for a magic pill. Although there have been medications, supplements, and great discoveries like Ozone therapy and UV light therapy that have helped with coronavirus, we need to educate people on ways to stay healthy and how to keep the immune system strong. A national news conference finally reported that sunlight, moisture and the outside air greatly reduce chances of contraction of Covid-19. As I have been saying for the past 6 weeks, go outside, get exercise, soak in the sunlight, drink lots of water, and breathe some fresh, clean, and highly oxygenated air. The Ugly: The most at risk group for fatality of Covid-19 are people who have diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. The United States has the highest numbers of these conditions in the world so that is one of the biggest reasons our fatality numbers are a lot worse than other countries. If we spent our time, money, and efforts on prevention of these diseases through nutrition, exer-

cise, and stress reduction, not only would we greatly reduce Covid-19 fatalities, but we also would have a much bigger impact on saving lives by decreasing the number of people dying from heart attack, stroke, cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimerʼs disease. As a result, not only would we not have to destroy small businesses and Mom and Pop shops, but it would actually help to save the economy because health care costs would be reduced so significantly. As this quarantine soon comes to end, exposure to this virus is inevitable. However, exposure does not mean you will get sick. If you are really healthy and strong, you can be exposed to a virus and your immune system can fight it off without you even knowing it is in your body. Remember to stop watching the news, stop touching your face, go out in the sun, and drink water if you want to feel better, function better, and live better. If you have any questions or concerns regarding coronavirus or any other health conditions, I am offering FREE virtual health consults for the entire month of May.

Learn how depreciation affects car value

Buying a new car can be an exciting prospect. Having something that no one has previously owned or used can elicit pride. But new car buyers are no doubt familiar with the conventional wisdom that, the moment a new car leaves the dealership, it loses a considerable amount of its value. Drivers may be surprised at just how much and how quickly that value drops. According to Capital One, car value can depreciate as much as 20 to 30 percent in the first year. The rate at which cars lose value after the first year is not as steep, and can be influenced by factors like age, mileage and how well the car has been maintained. However, Kelley Blue Book says

cars generally shed about 60 percent of their original purchase price within the first five years. A snapshot of how average depreciation works for a sedan can paint a clearer picture. Here is the value of a sedan over five years, according to Edmunds. Full price: $30,000 1 year: $24,300 2 years: $20,700 3 years: $17,400 4 years: $14,700 5 years: $12,000 If a person is planning to keep a vehicle for the long haul, depreciation may not be much of a concern. However, for those who may not plan on holding on to a car for long, it is important to know about depreciation and how

it affects car resale value and the total cost of owning the car. For example, if a person borrowed money to buy a vehicle and decides to sell it shortly thereafter, he or she might end up upside down on the loan or owe more money than the car is worth. Car depreciation also can affect trade-in value when moving on to a new car. One of the ways to avoid the perils of depreciation is to purchase a used car, since depreciation will have largely been absorbed by the previous owner. Another way to mitigate depreciation is to purchase a vehicle that has a slower rate of depreciation. CarFax says that when SUVs and trucks are in higher demand than sedans and compacts, they will retain their value longer. When fuel prices rise and cars that are more fuel-efficient are in demand, the reverse is true. Ways to reduce depreciation include: • Driving the vehicle around 10,000 miles a year; • Keeping up with maintenence, such as oil changes and replacing worn out parts; • Buying new cars with high levels of safety technology, which can help a car retain more value over the first five years; and

Even though engines are the powerhouse of any car or truck, without a battery, the engine wouldnʼt be able to work.

Drivers who make frequent, short trips may find their car batteries do not have time to fully recharge. This, coupled with overtaxing thanks to a lot of accessory use, may cause the battery and the alternator to have shortened life spans. • Low battery fluid levels: If the fluid level is below the energy conductor inside, it is often indicative of overcharging and excessive heat. • Corrosion: Corrosion buildup, dust, dirt, and grime on battery connections may cause performance problems. Inspecting and cleaning the terminals can prolong the battery life. • Odors and leaks: Battery leaks can produce a sulfur odor similar to the smell of a rotten egg. This can become problematic over time, and leaks may indicate and an aging or damaged battery. • Age: Most batteries have a finite life span. A well-maintained battery can last up to five years. Neglect can reduce that life expectancy considerably. • Bloated or cracked battery case: Replace the battery immediately if the case is cracking, as it could be because excessive heat is swelling the battery. Understanding how car batteries work can help drivers keep their cars running smoothly.

We at D&F Landscaping would like to thank all of the Doctors, Nurses, First Responders and Essential Workers and their Families for their hard work during this ongoing pandemic.

When an individual calls 811 to request a utility markout, they must wait three business days for the utility companies to properly mark underground lines with paint and flags. The markout will then remain valid for 45 business days. “Underground gas lines are everywhere, even on private property, and many of the gas damages that PSE&G responds to on a regular basis are completely avoidable,” said Joe Forline, PSE&G vice president of gas operations. “When customers are hiring contractors for work that requires digging, such as fence and swimming pool installation, they should discuss the need to follow the law and call 811.

Likewise, customers doing their own projects that require digging, like installing a new mailbox post or planting a tree, should also follow the same procedure.” Digging without knowledge of the location of underground utilities can result in serious injuries, utility disruption and costly repairs. In 2019, PSE&G responded to 890 excavating damages (746 gas, 144 electric). The best way to prevent excavating damage is to call 811 before beginning any digging project this spring and use caution around marked facilities. It is not only the safe, smart thing to do—it is the law. Prevention is key: Contractors,

LIC# 16428

No Job Too Small

excavators and customers should always call 811 to request that utility lines be located and marked before digging, to avoid hitting underground pipelines, conduits, wires and cables. This service is free, and critical to avoid injuries and disruptions to vital utility services. If there is excavation work occurring on your property, customers should always make sure that a contractor has called 811 before starting work. Every digging project, even a small project like planting a tree or building a deck with hand tools, requires a call to 811. What to do if you smell gas: Leave the building as quickly as possible and move 350 feet away from the structure. Take all others with you. If you smell gas outside, move well away from where you suspect the gas is leaking. Call PSE&G immediately at 1-800-880-PSEG (7734) and call 911. (Do NOT call from inside the building. Wait until you are outside and a safe distance to call.) More information about 811 is available at nj1-call.org or on the PSE&G website: https://nj.pseg.com/safetyandreliability/safetytips/callbeforeyoudig.

Also, work against gravity by setting the second course slightly back from the first to help push back against the soil that is trying so hard to push forward. Repeat the process as each level is placed. Many retaining wall products are made with a lip to create this set back. • Go with the grade. For especially steep slopes, a gradual step-up design may be more secure and more appealing than a very tall retaining wall. Each level of a stepped design should be done like the first. • Backfill with stone for drainage. Using a layer of stone behind the retaining wall can help successfully direct water away so

it will not increase the weight of the soil behind the wall and push against the retaining wall, advises The Home Depot. Remember: retaining walls serve different purposes in a yard. Building such a wall requires planning and careful execution to ensure the job is done correctly.

lived in the town for long and donʼt understand the townʼs finances. It would be a mistake for the residents of Hillsdale to consider electing a person who clearly does not understand how our town government functions but is quick to make such inaccurate and inflammatory charges against the current Council in the face of contrary evidence. Zoltan Horvath Hillsdale Council President

FROM PAGE 2

Mayor offers clarification on budget

To the editor: I want to update [Hillsdale residents] on the budgetary situation that has been made complicated due to the pandemic and the deepening recession. Last month I recommended

to the Council that the budget that they had introduced on March 3 should be amended to reduce the municipal tax increase from 1.98% to zero. I wanted to provide tax relief to our residents and businesses. Despite some initial opposition on the Financial Committee, the Council amended the budget on April 14 to eliminate the tax increase, but then failed to gather the sufficient four Council votes to adopt it. There were concerns over whether the reduction in property taxes went far enough, whether operating expenses should be trimmed further, whether estimated revenues could be counted on given economic deterioration, and whether the logistical and financial uncertainties faced by the Stonybrook Pool were adequately reflected. The Mayor and Council met again on April 17. While there was a preference on the part of some, including myself, to press for further reductions in expenditures, there was also wide acknowledgement of the great

uncertainty over the financial prospects ahead, the impact on our normal revenues, and the ability to deliver services to the town. Accordingly, a consensus was reached to stick with the budget as amended, with no municipal property tax increase, but still containing a 4.3% increase in appropriations (expenditures.) It will come up for a vote on May 12. The Council also approved an interim temporary budget to cover the Borough through midJune. However, because of the uncertain and deteriorating economic conditions, it was agreed that a tight lid on all future spending not related to the pandemic needed to be exercised by all department heads for the next several months, even if the interim or final budget allowed for such spending. This is necessary in order to avoid leaving us in a potentially stressed situation at the end of the year where, if we spend all our budgeted appropriations, we might be forced to seek in 2021 a large tax increase, a reduction in services, or smaller capital improvements.

This year’s junior police academy canceled

To the editor: We, the Chiefs of the Township of Washington, the Borough of Westwood, and the Borough of Emerson address our residents today with a cancellation announcement. Regretfully, but understandably, we must cancel the 2020 Pascack Valley Junior Police Academy. This Community Policing program was created two decades ago and has been run annually since. Although it is with a heavy heart that we do not run the program this year, we are using the correct sense of judgement and are following the guidelines set forth and abiding by its procedures. The men and women of our departments are working tirelessly throughout the COVID-19 pandemic to serve you, our resimany dents. Additionally, resources of the Pascack Valley Junior Police Academy are members of law enforcement agencies, fire departments, emergency medical services, and private sector companies. These instructors work for paid and volunteer agencies for federal, state, municipal, volunteer and on private levels. Everybody is serving with the “all-hands-on-deck” mindset. We could not be prouder of our department members who are on the front lines every day. We could not be prouder of you, our residents, who always rise to the occasion for support when the times get tough. As a community we will weather the storm, overcome all adversity, and come out stronger for it. We look forward to running the 2021 Pascack Valley Junior Police Academy, coming back stronger than ever! Please continue to monitor all of our social media outlets to stay as up to date as possible with information, not just related to the Pascack Valley Junior Police Academy or COVID-19 pandemic. Continue to practice social distancing, wear face coverings and together we can flatten the curve. Remember, even the darkest nights see sunshine in the morning.

Pet shelter needs cat, kitten food

To the editor: Save The Animals Rescue Team II (START II), a local non-profit, no-kill, all-volunteer animal rescue group, located in Englewood, who works in the Bergen/Passaic County area, is asking the public for help with donations cat and kitten food. The group, which has been in existence for 44 years, has taken in and adopted out thousands of animals that would otherwise have been euthanized at local high-kill shelters. At this given time, START II is in great need of cat and kitten food. We are in the start of high kitten season in which our supply is extremely low and demand is very high. Our mother cats do an amazing job taking care of their newborns and they need to be fed, too. Our cats eat Friskies can and dry food. Any flavor is welcomed. When kittens are off their mothers, they eat Fancy Feast Kitten turkey and chicken only. In addition, weaning off bottle feeding, kittens are given Beechnut or Gerber strained chicken or turkey baby food, no beef or pork. With the number of animals this shelter takes in on a daily basis, volunteers are continuously feeding, cleaning and doing laundry. In 2019 this small group was able to adopt out 280 cats/kittens to fabulous homes. Selflessly, volunteers work day and night to make things happen. All the public sees are cute furry faces and statistics on adoptions. Unfortunately, they do not see the day-today behind-the-scenes of what really happens in animal rescue. These hidden factors are the reason non-profit groups need to continuously raise funds and ask for donations in order to continue their mission of saving lives. If you can help with a donation(s) of cat or kitten food, or if you know of those who would be willing to help, please contact us at www.startii.org for a drop-off location or direct pickup. You can also call us at 201-797-8861 or email us at startkayne@gmail.com. If you wish to receive a tax letter for your records, please attach a letter with your donation; your name, value amount, along with self-enclosed envelope with postage.

Facebook group celebrates those on the front lines During this time of crisis, with Bergen county being at the forefront of the virus in New Jersey, one community is using social media to boost morale.

From health care workers to police officers, firefighters, gro-

“The safety and security of Bergen County residents is our top priority. Issuing eviction notices during this heightened public health emergency is counter-productive to the mission of our agency and the goal of mitigating the spread of COVID-19. At this time, I have ordered Sheriff Office operations to focus primarily on assisting local police departments,” said Sheriff Anthony Cureton.

cers, mail carriers, truck drivers, ambulance corps workers, the list of essential workers is long and varied. McSpirit said she started the group thinking about how many people around her community are humbly going about their indispensable work and felt they should be acknowledged. “In dark times, we feel itʼs important to keep spirits up and to maintain a sense of gratitude to the ones who are putting themselves on ʻthe front line,ʼ”

McSpirit writes to Pascack Press. Each day the group will feature a member of our community who is nominated. If you know of anyone who you would like to see on the page, you can email her at maureenmcspirit@gmail.com.

Warren P. HAGER

Warren P. Hager, 79, of Hillsdale, passed away peacefully on Friday, April 17, 2020. Born in Jersey City, he lived in Hillsdale for 48 years. Predeceased in death by his parents Walter H. Hager and Madeleine T. Horn (Hager), he is survived by his beloved wife Lieselotte M. Hager of 55 years. Warren was the devoted father of Erika E. Giordano and father-in-law to Anthony S. Giordano; dear twin brother of Walter P. Hager (Carol), and cherished brother to Charles M. Hager (Ellen). He was the loving Opa of Matthew D. Giordano. He is survived by numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. Warren was a kind soul who always had a spring in his step, a wonderful dry sense of humor and a generous heart. He loved life and was dedicated to his career and family. Warren served in the U.S. Army during Vietnam and, upon returning to civilian life, he worked for the New York Stock Exchange in Floor Operations for nearly 48 years. He loved his job and the people with whom he worked. He survived September 11, 2001, and is forever tied to the special operations team who got the trading floor back up and running post the aftermath of terrorism. He was passionate about his hobby of over 65 years – Amateur (Ham) Radio, and was an active member in both the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) and Bergen Amateur Radio Association (BARA), North Jersey DX Association (NJDXA). His hobby sometimes consumed all aspects of him, but in a good way, as he used it to help others in time of crisis, such as running phone patches for solders during Vietnam and the Gulf Wars so they could call home and speak to their families; or in times of natural disaster like Superstorm Sandy helping local government agencies with communications. Through his Ham Radio, Warren made lifelong friends, saw many places in the United States and Europe and was able to volunteer and support communications via Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (R.A.C.E.S) for the Office of Emergency Management (OEM) in Montvale for more than 25 years. Warren was also an active member of the Masonic Temple Lodge #173 and Zion Lutheran Church in Westwood.

Her generosity, independent spirit and loving devotion to family and friends will be missed by all who knew her. When Elfriede was a young girl, her family moved back to their hometown of Karlsruhe, Germany. Sadly, they were unable to return to America once World War II began and endured many hardships there, including the death of Elfriedeʼs father in the war. Her strong character helped her overcome these and many other challenges. After the war, Elfriede met the love of her life, Ernst Koehler, and they were married on February 23, 1950. She emigrated back to the United States shortly thereafter with her mother and brother, followed by Ernst in July 1951. They started their new life together in New York City and raised their two daughters in New Jersey. Elfriede loved to cook, bake and entertain, making new friends wherever she went. She will be remembered as a thoughtful neighbor, always ready to help with a word of encouragement and homemade food. She was also an avid gardener and loved planting and tending her flowers every spring and summer. Her beautiful garden was admired and enjoyed by many neighbors and friends over the years. Elfriede relished her role as a grandmother and enjoyed nothing more than cooking favorite meals and baking special treats for her children and grandchildren. She was happiest when surrounded by her family. After moving back to New Jersey in 2011, Elfriede spent many happy days in the company of her daughter, Joanne and her family. A memorial service for friends and family will be held later in the year. In lieu of flowers, memorial tributes are suggested to Meals on Wheels North Jersey (mealsonwheelsnorthjersey.org).
