The Energy Corner Retention Oil Burners Every non-flame retention burner, and most pre-1985 first generation flame retention burners, should be replaced. Boilers or furnaces installed after 1980 will run much better with a new burner. If a new boiler or furnace was installed before 1970, it is better to replace the system than to just put in a new burner. New burners with their white-hot flame may “kill” the old unit quicker.

Studies have shown that consumers overwhelmingly define “their” bank as the institution where their checking accounts are held, not the bank where they may have a mortgage or CD. It’s no wonder banks throw a sizeable amount of money toward attracting and retaining consumer checking accounts. Banks know one way to get you in the door to open a checking account is to lure you in with gifts. In the old days they used toasters; today’s gifts are less domesticated -- coolers, camping and beach gear to name a few. The freebies get Farmers’ Market Starts June 15th The Hasbrouck Heights 10th Farmers’ Market is scheduled to begin on June 15, 2010, and continue every Tuesday from Noon to 6:00 p.m. until late September, at the corner of The Boulevard and Central Avenue. This Farmers’ Market is scheduled to host about a dozen vendors. George is back! Additionally, many new vendors to include Hoboken Farms, Rebbecca Amish Baked Goods, a gourmet coffee company, Cookie Man, Dr. Pickle, hand made soaps, etc. Senior coupon day has been scheduled for July 13th. According to Chamber President Ray Vorisek, Hasbrouck Heights businesses and community organizations are invited to set up a free table for one Tuesday afternoon during the 2010 Market. Limited positions are available. Call Ray at 201-288-5464 for more information. During Farmers’ Market days, Boulevard businesses are permitted to take advantage of “Sidewalk Sale” opportunities and set up tables in front of their stores. ### Copy for the July Issue is due June 10th. Previous Issues of The Gazette Newspaper are available on-line at: The-Gazette-Newspaper.com RSS Feed Available better as the stakes get higher. Banks in search of “total relationships” with customers are offering free checking accounts with loan discounts, investment bonuses, insurance incentives and other financial sweeteners. Because banks are offering discounts or freebies when you have multiple accounts, you can use any banking product you are considering, as leverage to snag something else you want from the bank -- say, a higher CD rate. The more business you do with one bank, the more likely they are to sweeten the deal. Kearny Federal Savings Bank has enhanced their existing relationship program, which currently offers 22 financial benefits, by adding “lifestyle” savings as well. By opening a StarBanking Plus account at KFS, you’ll receive free checking with interest, free wire transfers, fee rebates up to $10 per month on foreign ATM transactions, bumpedup CD rates, reduced rates on new home equity loans and much more! And if all those free services don’t save you enough, they’ve combined those fi nancial services with GenGold®, where you’ll save even more money on “lifestyle” services like travel, shopping and restaurants! It’s easy to qualify for StarBanking Plus. All you need is a Kearny Federal Savings Star Checking account with direct deposit and a combined balance of $20,000 or more in your savings and checking account. If you’re over 55, you can be a SuperStar and receive the same benefits with a combined balance of just $10,000. Visit one of KFS’s 26 convenient branches for complete details, or call toll free 1-800273-3406. With Kearny Federal Savings’ StarBanking Plus program, you’ll never need another checking account! ### Newspaper for Hasbrouck Heights • Little Ferry • Lodi Moonachie • Teterboro • Wood-Ridge Published Monthly.

Where can you go to get the latest New York Times best sellers, the hottest music CDs, the latest movie releases on DVD, find your favorite magazine and stock up on audiobooks for those long road trips without having to buy them? And these days libraries offer even more activities and services for less. Consider the following facts: • Computer Access: Many people find that they need access to a computer; rather than purchasing their own and maintaining one, they save money by using the free wireless service. • Books: Think of the saving possibilities of borrowing instead of buying your reading materials. Your local library has access to thousands of titles and has established lending agreements with neighboring libraries to share resources. According to the latest survey by the Department of Labor, a U.S. consumer spends an average of about $120 on books each year. • Magazines and Newspapers: A number of people I know have cancelled most of their periodical subscriptions and get their reading materials from the library instead. This is a great way to reduce the amount of paper being sent to your home. • DVDs, CDs, and Other Media: Save on rental fees for movies, music, audiobooks, and more by borrowing them from the library for free. If you have not visited your local library for a while, I bet you’d be surprised by the incredible multimedia collections they have established. • Entertainment and Space: With sum mer just around the corner, libraries are getting geared up to offer exciting reading programs and events for all ages, including everything from author-led book discussions and music recitals to playtime programs for children. And if you’re looking for an inexpensive place to hold a community event, check with your library, many have meeting rooms available. • Save on Utilities: Li- braries have taken on many roles, why not make them the center of your world to spend time at all year round. That way you can turn down the heat or AC at home and save. • Volunteer Opportunities and Tax-Deductible Donations: Most local libraries have their own “friends” groups that are involved in and support library activities. Volunteering at a library can be a great way to meet new people and earn community service hours. Your gently used books are welcomed and get a second home at book sales. Often, contributions to The Friends are tax-deductible. Rush Service Available Embroidery • Awards Uniforms • Polos Promotional Items • Etc. 973-614-0015 116 S.

It is called the “Full Strawberry Moon.” According to the Farmer’s Almanac, this name was universal to every Algonquin tribe. The name reflects the relatively short season for harvesting strawberries that comes each year during June. Other names include the “Full Hot Moon,” or in Europe, the “Full Rose Moon.” The Native American Indians of the northern and eastern United States kept track of the seasons by giving a name to each recurring full moon. European settlers followed the custom. ### HH Recycling Center Closed Saturday; Regular Wednesday Pick-up Remains Effective May 1, 2010, the Hasbrouck Heights Recycling Center will be closed on Saturdays.

All mosquitoes need water to complete their life cycle. Yard and home checklist: • Get rid of old tires, tin cans, buckets, drums, bottles, or any water holding containers • Fill in or drain any low places (puddles, ruts) in yard • Keep drains, ditches, and culverts clean of weeds and trash so water will drain properly • Cover trash containers to keep out rain water • Repair leaky pipes and outdoor faucets • Empty plastic wading pools at least once a week and store indoors when not in use • Make sure your backyard pool is properly cared for while on vacation • Fill in tree rot holes and hollow stumps that hold water with sand or concrete • Change the water in bird baths and plant pots or drip trays at least once a week • Keep gutters clean and free of debris and leaves. ### According to Ann Lustberg, “The Boulevard in Bloom beautification project adds visual interest and aesthetics to The Boulevard streetscape from May until September.” After the summer, the DPW will collect the flower pots and store them for the winter. The estimated annual cost for this program is $4,000 and is funded by donations. Work is done by “Green Thumb” volunteers. Sponsor recognition is located on the first floor of the Municipal Complex. The Hasbrouck Heights Chamber of Commerce, in cooperation with the HH Garden Club, invites businesses and residents to sponsor a flower pot with planting to be placed along The Boulevard during 2010. Donations for the 2011 program are welcome. Cost is $175 and includes the purchase of a fiberglass pot, soil, mulch and plantings. Cost is $40 to replenish the planting of an existing pot. Call Maria at 201-288-3111 or Ann at 201-288-3956 for more information. ### June Flower Rose On Saturday, May 15, 2010, the Hasbrouck Heights Mayor and Council toured and reviewed recent improvements that were provided by grant money.

They began the tour of the Hackensack facility (nonferrous division) by standing on a truck scale for a collective weight of 7,260 pounds and were impressed that if they were aluminum cans, they would be worth $6,115. Every student then received their very own hard hat and were placed into tour groups. Before entering the facility, they were cautioned about safety procedures and provided an overview on recycling. The first station was about sorting of metals followed by a demonstration of metal fabrication. Bathroom Remodeling $9,800 5 x 7 Bathroom in 7 Days Call for a FREE Consultation.

June 2010 The Gazette Newspaper - PAGE 11 Lodi High School Interact Club Becomes Official After three years of operating as an “unofficial” Interact Club, Lodi High School received its formal Charter on April 29, 2010. During a ceremony in the Lodi High School auditorium attended by several Mid-Bergen Rotary Club members, Interact Club advisor Aimee Cook received the Charter, and about 125 students received their Interact Membership cards. Refreshments were then served in the cafeteria. According to Ms. Cook, “In conjunction with our sponsoring Rotary Club 7490, the Club has been raising funds for the Gift of Life Foundation. Most recently, our Club participated in the Gift of Life Walk-a-Thon at Bergen Community College, where we raised over $600.” The Mid-Bergen Rotary Club has also sponsored Interact Clubs at Bergen County Technical School and WoodRidge High School. Interact is a Rotary sponsored service club for ages 14 to 18. The program gives young people an opportunity to participate in fun, meaningful projects while developing leadership skills and meeting new friends. The Mid-Bergen Rotary held their first meeting on February 8, 1962 and was originally chartered as the Teterboro Rotary Club, Bergen County, NJ. As the 1960’s progressed, the Club grew with members from the surrounding towns of Hasbrouck Heights, Wood-Ridge and South Hackensack, thereby prompting the name change to Mid-Bergen Rotary Club. Since 1975, Rotary International’s ‘Gift of Life’ program has benefited over 5,000 children worldwide. The program includes more than 70 participating hospitals worldwide — 50 in the United States. Participating hospitals and physicians donate their services and skills to save the lives of suffering children, who otherwise would not be able to afford the life saving surgery in their home country. ### Prudential MERENDINO REALTY Home Sales • Rentals • Residential • Commercial Free Home Value Analysis • List your home or business with us Call For Appointment ...Any Time • Open 7 Days A Week To Better Serve You Imaginations Took Flight at Open Cockpit Day HASBROUCK HEIGHTS Colonial Beautiful home design that’s perfect and move-in ready!

Police Chief Michael Colaneri showed the students the communications and electronics room. The students then went to the Fire Department where Firefighter Thomas Rubino reminded them of fire safety tips (9-1-1, fire escape plan, stop, drop and roll, etc.). He explained the firefighters’ turnout gear and gave them a chance to put on a helmet. The students toured Fire Headquarters and got to go into the ambulance, Engine 2 and Engine 1.

Due to high winds, the equipment was positioned outside and the brief ceremony took place inside the firehouse bays. The program began with Firefighter Thomas Rubino calling the Department to attention, the presentation of the Honor Guard, and the Pledge of Allegiance. HHFD Chaplain, Deacon Vincent De Fedele, provided the invocation. Mayor Rose Heck and Fire Commissioner David Gonzalez made comments. Fire Chiefs from WoodRidge inspected the Department’s equipment -- and they did a thorough job. Local officials and the public also inspected the equipment and met with the men and women who serve.

The majority of home and apartment burglaries occur during the daytime when most people are away at work or school. Statistics suggest that 70% of the burglars use some amount of force to enter a dwelling, but their preference is to gain easy access through an open door or window. Ordinary household tools like screwdrivers, channel-lock pliers, small pry bars, and small hammers are most often used for break-ins. Although home burglaries may seem random in occurrence, they actually involve a selection process. Burglars choose an unoccupied home with the easiest access, the greatest amount of cover, and with the best escape routes. Burglaries are committed most often by young males under 25 years of age looking for items that are small, expensive, and can easily be converted to cash. Jewelry, guns, watches, laptop computers, VCRs, CD players, and other small electronic devices are high on the list. Quick cash is needed for living expenses or drugs. The average loss per residential burglary hovers around the $1,300 mark. Don’t Advertise Burglars are always on the prowl for a house that looks temporarily unoccupied, so don’t “advertise” your home as an easy target. Light, time, and noise are a homeowner’s greatest weapons --- if it takes a burglar more than four or five minutes to break into your home, they’ll move on. Practical Tips Whether going down the shore for a long weekend or taking that long planned vacation trip, the Moonachie Police Department offers some practical steps to protect your home from theft and damage while you’re away. • Notify the police if you are going to be gone longer than a week as they will often schedule extra drive-bys. • Have a friend or neighbor collect the mail, newspapers and fliers. • Never leave an outgoing answering machine message saying you’re away. Set your machine for five rings (answering too soon or too late indicates nobody is at home). • Leave the light on in the kitchen. The kitchen tends to have lights on the most. • Put lights on timers in two or three rooms so the lights go on and off at various times. • Timers should be used on a daily basis. By setting up a routine, your neighbors can become suspicious when your normally lighted home becomes dark. • Use light-timers near the front and back windows with the curtains drawn. The timing pattern should simulate occupancy. • Timers can be used to turn on a radio or television. Turn your stereo on to a talk station to create a more realistic impression that someone is home. • Outside motion lighting should be installed high enough so that the bulbs can’t be unscrewed by a possible intruder. • Security lights with infrared motion sensors are relatively inexpensive and can easily replace an exterior porch light or side door light. The heat-motion sensor can be adjusted to detect body heat and can be programmed to reset after one minute. These security lights are highly recommended for single family homes. • Most burglars enter via the front, back, or garage doors. Experienced burglars know that the garage door is usually the weakest point of entry, followed by the back door. The garage and back doors also provide the most cover. Windows • Double-check that door and window locks work properly, especially in older homes where they may not fit tightly any longer. • Windows left unlocked and open are entered at a much higher rate than doors. • An open window, visible from the street or alley, may be the sole reason for your home to be selected by a burglar. Basement and ground floor windows are more susceptible to breakins for obvious reasons. • Upper floor windows become attractive if they can be accessed from a stairway, tree, fence, balcony or deck. • Make sure the AC unit is properly secured so a burglar can’t push it in. Doors Experienced burglars can tell from the street if a door is easily breachable. Install deadbolt locks and make sure the Be sure to make a check-list of things to do before you walk out the door. Check windows, turn on timers, disconnect appliances, set alarm, etc. strike plate is securely fastened to the door. • Door glass can be covered with a film or glazing that is resistant to breaking. • Pull out the plug on your electric overhead garage door opener. This will disable the unit and prevent anyone tampering with the frequencies and gaining entry. Street Assessment Crop shrubs and, if necessary, trim trees. If your yard is neat there is nowhere for a burglar to stand or hide when breaking a window. • Examine your home and make sure that valuables are not visible from the street. • Partially close all curtains or blinds to ensure that nobody can look in. Leave upstairs curtains open while first floor drapes shut. Padlock All Gates Make your backyard inaccessible. Padlocking your gates makes getting into the backyard more difficult (not impossible), but it seriously hinders getting out while carrying items like stereos and computers. This difficulty level serves as a strong deterrent. Obliterate Alternate Methods of Entry Put away or chain up ladders, barbecues, garden tools, patio furniture and other items that could aid in a burglary or could be stolen. Car in Driveway Park your car in the driveway and have a neighbor move it so it looks like someone is home. Offer your neighbor a place to park. to keep the smash and grab burglar, nosey kids, dishonest babysitter or housekeeper from gaining access to important documents, small valuable items, and personal property. Home safes need to be anchored into the floor or permanent shelving. Install it away from the master bedroom or closet. • Include in it the video tape of your possessions. • Use the safe routinely. • Protect the safe code and change it occasionally. Alarm Systems Alarm systems deter burglaries because they increase the potential and fear of being caught and arrested by the police. Home and apartment burglars will usually bypass a property with visible alarm signs. • Don’t write your alarm passcode on or near the alarm keypad. • Alarm systems can monitor for fire as well as burglary. • All systems should have an audible horn or bell to be effective. Audible alarms should be programmed to reset automatically after one or two minutes. The criminal got the message and will be long gone but your neighbors will have to listen to the alarm bell, sometimes for hours, until it is shut off. • Home alarms, like car alarms, are generally ignored except for a brief glance. • Instruct your neighbor how to respond to an alarm bell. Property Identification Engrave your driver’s license, not your social security number, on televisions, stereos, computers, and small electronic appliances so police can identify your stolen items if recovered. • Patrol cars are equipped with computers which can easily trace driver’s licenses. • Photograph your valuables and make a list of the make, model, and serial numbers. Keep this list in a safety deposit box or with a relative. Include receipts of the larger items. This provides proof when filing insurance claims. • Photocopy important documents and the contents of your wallet. Extra Precautions The Moonachie Police Department also offers these precautions: • Refrain from carrying anything with you that will create physical, financial or emotional hardship if lost or stolen. • Leave extra credit cards, keys and expensive jewelry at home. • Carry traveler’s checks. (They are replaced if lost or stolen). • Leave prescription medicines in the original containers marked with the prescription numbers. • Leave your passports and valuables in a safety deposit box at your hotel. • Don’t put your home address on baggage tags. Use your business address instead. • Carry a list of all credit cards and bankcards with you. Don’t keep it in your purse or wallet. (You may need the list to report the loss or theft of these cards). • When you check in at your hotel, don’t give your home address verbally. Also, if you are a single woman, caution the front desk clerk not to announce your room number. • Before you go shopping or sightseeing in a strange city, check with the hotel concierge for directions to your destination and the safest mode of transportation to get you there. The Moonachie Police Department wishes you an enjoyable and safe vacation. And if you are driving, don’t forget to buckle up! ### LOCKS • ALARMS • SAFES Call 201-288-8823 for a FREE Security Check Preventing Household Emergencies • Make sure the smoke detector is functioning. • Unplug unnecessary appliances.

What’s the Reason When I was in school, I was always among the last to be picked for sports. Coordination has never been my strong suit. So I know how homeowners feel when their home isn’t selling and other homes seem to be. ‘Why me?’ The real estate market is sometimes as cruel as the school yard these days. The reasons are often simple. The real question is: Can you change it? Let’s look at the main reasons…. 1. Your Photos Are Terrible Have you actually seen the photos your Realtor took? If they look like they were taken by a 6 year old tilting his head while standing in the dark, then you have a problem. Photos should help sell the house. And if the photos are scaring away buyers, then it’s time to insist your agent take different photos. Buyers are spending hours online looking at photos and if yours look unattractive, believe me, they won’t be attracting any buyers. 2. Your Home Is Inaccessible In order to buy your home, people need to be able to see it. This may seem like a nobrainer but I have actually seen a listing recently where viewings were made available only on Saturdays, from 12PM to 2 PM. Or where sellers follow buyers around the house? Or those who don’t plow their walks/driveways after a snowstorm? Or who leave snarling dogs in the living room? Buyers don’t need to have unfettered access to your home but, by the same token, every effort should be made to let people in with a reasonable amount of notice. 3. Your Home Is Cluttered How many times have I heard, “They’re not buying my stuff. They’re buying the house. They can decorate it any way they want after they buy it.” It often seems silly to home sellers that home buyers today cannot look past all their stuff. Maybe it’s all the HGTV shows, but most buyers will automatically focus on your stuff if it’s in the way of them seeing your house. And, if they really can’t see your home, they won’t buy it. 4. There Are No Buyers For Your Home The unfortunate quirks of a sputtering recovery, while some segments of the market are buzzing, others are dead. Even when the tax credit was available for fi rst-time home buyers, the upper middle and high ends of the real estate market had slowed. Financing for investors has also been hard to come by. 5. Price, Price, Price Is your house priced well for condition, location and what’s comparable on the market? It’s not enough to look at prior sales – it’s crucial to know what else is on the market that buyers these days would be looking at and price your home accordingly: at or below these homes (your competition!).

Zach Orden, D.D.S., F.A.G.D. The End of Food Temptation W hy Does Temptation Always Win? We live in a society where food temptations are everywhere. • Walk through a store and you’ll see the unhealthy food items displayed front and center. • Turn on the TV and you’ll be assaulted with commercials for fattening foods. • Open a magazine and you’ll notice glossy pin-ups of sugary snacks. • Go down the street and you’ll have restaurant signs clamoring for your attention. In addition to the abundance of tempting edibles, you also have deeply ingrained positive associations with indulging. You treat tempting food as a reward, stress relief or comfort. You allow tempting food to become a habit. It’s Your Turn to Win Temptation doesn’t need to have the upper hand anymore. It’s time to fight back using your most powerful asset: your brain. Your mind is an amazing thing. Once it is made up about something it is nearly impossible to change it. Overcoming temptation is all about building negative associations in place of existing positive ones. Use the 2 steps below to harness the power of your mind to become stronger than any temptation. Step One: Create a Strong Negative Association with all the BAD STUFF If cookies and chips and burgers are put on a pedestal in your mind as your favorite things to eat, then you will always eat unhealthy and will continue to gain weight. What do you dislike about tempting food? • It causes weight gain. • It drains your energy. • It kills your confidence. Every time that you encounter tempting food items focus on your list of negatives. It’s time to kick those cookies off the pedestal and to put something healthy in its place. Step Two: Create a Strong Positive Association with all the GOOD STUFF Now that your mental pedestal has been cleared, put healthy food items on it. Juicy fresh fruit, crispy vegetables and savory lean meats are a great place to start. • What do you love about healthy food? • It makes you healthy. • It causes weight loss. • It boosts your energy. • It builds your confidence. • It improves your quality of life. Immerse yourself into the world of healthy food. Browse the aisles of a natural food store. Walk through a farmer’s market. Bring healthy snacks to work. Clear your kitchen of anything unhealthy. Using the technique above, you will soon find that healthy food is your favorite food. And temptation will become a thing of your past. The Domino Effect Regular exercise makes it easier to eat healthy. Just as healthy eating makes you more likely to exercise. It’s the domino effect. When you begin to make a positive change in one area of your life other areas will soon follow. Remember, while nutrition is vitally important for weight loss, true results are achieved through a combination of both nutrition and challenging, progressive exercise. Would you like to get that domino effect started in your life? Call or email today for a fitness program that will quickly transform your body.

An unfortunate reality of these summer activities is sunburn. Studies show that up to 4 in 10 adults are sunburned each year, with the resulting pain and discomfort, lost work time, and increased risk of skin cancer well documented. While most sunburns can be attributed to a straightforward unprotected, over exposure to sunlight, it is important to consider other potential factors, such as diseases or Dispose of your unwanted medication at BeJay Drugs.

Systemic lupus and dermatomyositis are medical conditions associated with skin eruptions made worse by sun exposure. Lupus is more common in younger women, with the affected skin described as mild, patchy redness. Dermatomyositis is more common in the elderly, the rash most often appearing around the eyes and back of the hands. Medications can affect a person’s response to sunlight in two ways, either as a toxic reaction or an allergic reaction. Phototoxic reactions are more common, usually develop soon after exposure to sunlight, and appear only in the sun-exposed areas. Common medicines associated with phototoxicity include antibiotics such as tetracycline or ciprofloxacin, and diuretics such as furosemide. Photoallergic reactions are less common, occur 1 to 3 days after sun exposure, and may spread to areas not exposed to direct sunlight. The most common medicines that can produce these reactions are the diabetic agents glyburide and glipizide. Prevention is the key to reducing your sunburn risk. Not all patients with these diseases, or those taking these medicines, will develop increased sun sensitivity. Take notice of the labels on your prescription bottles to see if your medicine increases sunburn risk, and consult your pharmacist with any questions. Limit sun exposure when rays are strongest, typically between 11 am and 4 pm, and use a sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 15. Severe sunburns can lead to infections, so be sure to contact your physician if you experience blistering, pain, fever, or chills. With a little planning you’ll be able to enjoy the warm weather without risking your health.

Sun damage is also responsible for leathery-looking skin, broken capillaries, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation, or age spots. While people are more aware of the sun’s harmful effects, many do not protect themselves or use sunscreens. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation that affects the skin is classified as UVA and UVB. UVA is the longest of the UV. It can penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and plays a major role in skin aging and wrinkling. UVA penetrates glass and clouds. UVB is responsible for burning, tanning, accelerating the skin aging and also plays a key role in the development of skin cancer. UVB varies by season, location and time of day. The most intense amount of UVB hits the U.S. between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Try not to schedule outdoor activity between these hours and seek playgrounds where shade - from trees or awnings - is plentiful. If your child has to be outdoors during these hours, be sure they’re protected from the sun with a hat, sunglasses, etc. What is SPF? Sun Protection Factor (SPF) measures the protection provided by a sunscreen against UVB. Higher SPF numbers are preferable, but SPF measures protection only from UVB -not UVA rays. When choosing a sunscreen, select a product that provides “broad-spectrum” protection for both UVA and UVB. If you are going to the beach or pool, make sure it is water-resistant and doesn’t wash off in the water. Use an SPF of 15 or higher. When to apply sunscreen -- Apply sunscreen 20 minutes before going out into the sun to give it time to absorb into the skin. Be generous and regular -- about 1 ounce every 2 hours, and more often if you are swimming or perspiring. Apply sunscreen to the top of your ears, back of hands, neck and toes. Other protection tips: • Use a hat to shield your face where sun damage frequently occurs. • Be aware that the window glass in cars does not block all of the sun’s harmful rays, making the driver’s left side more prone to sun damage. Apply sunscreen before long car rides. ### PAGE 20 - The Gazette Newspaper June 2010 DAV National Service Officer Visits VFW 4591 A fully-equipped DAV National Service Office on wheels was at the VFW Post 4591 on May 12, 2010, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. This annual event, sponsored by DAV Bergen County/ Chapter 15, is held in May at the VFW Post 4591 in Hasbrouck Heights.

AL Announces Essay Winners American Legion Post 106 in Hasbrouck Heights has announced the winners of this year’s essay contest. They are Kristen Hohnecker, First Place, Samantha Guer ra, Second Place and Samantha Algauer, Third Place. They are all seniors at Hasbrouck Heights High School. All contestants had to write an essay on the topic “How Can We Keep Patriotism Alive.” Mrs. Czekaj, supervisor of English, collected all the essays and had them reviewed by a committee of Legionnaires. The committee was impressed with Ms. Hohnecker’s remarks -- “Patriotism can be kept alive by really showing people how much their country has given them. Parents should not solely rely on history teach- ers to relay the importance of our country’s past. They should discuss with their children and explain how lucky we are to live in such a powerful and prosperous country. Simply raising the American f lag outside your house or, nowadays, putting a bumper sticker on your car shows support of your country.” And finally, “By making sure the next generation realizes the power and integrity of the country they live in, we will continue to portray our deep appreciation for it, and we will forever stay united.” The winners will be given a monetary award along with a medal signifying their placement in this contest.

About 14 million Buddy Poppies are distributed annually. The memorial poppy is never sold, but given in exchange for a contribution. ### Do you have storm damage? Niro Construction can help you!

This spring concert was sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Hasbrouck Heights and Teterboro, and featured the talents of a new a cappella group called “The Party of Five.” They sang more than twenty songs. Many of the oldies were familiar to the audience. The group harmony was fantastic. Doo wop represents a vocal style that includes group harmony, a wide range of vocal parts, a simple beat, and simple lyrics. It was popular when our world was relatively simple and our lives were less complicated. If you are interested in learning more about Kiwanis, please call Barbara at 201-2880562.

The performers were Joey Arminio and The Family. They sang and danced as they portrayed many of the singers who appeared on Bandstand. An added attraction was comic, juggler, Jack Swersie. He has appeared with such stars as Jay Leno, Joan Rivers, the Smothers Brothers and many more. His off beat comedy style was both very funny and clean. At the meeting held on May 12, 2010, representatives from the Bergen County Sheriff’s Office were on hand to issue “Gold Star ID” cards to seniors. The program provides first responders with vital medical information in the event of an emergency. The BCSO’s Gold Star Identification Program is run in conjunction with local fire departments, hospitals and emergency service providers. Participating senior citizens are issued a photo identification card, which corresponds to a file maintained by the Bergen County Sheriff’s Office’s 24-Hour Operations Unit. Data kept on file includes a list of family and emergency contacts, physician’s contact information, as well as current and prior medical conditions. In the event of an emergency, or if a participant becomes incapacitated during a medical emergency, the Operations Unit will release his or her emer- gency contact information to first responders. The June 9, 2010 meeting is the last meeting before the summer break. President John Fitzin encourages all members to attend. He also invites members to participate in the many programs available at the center. President John is always present at the center. He makes the coffee for all activities, selects and shows movies twice a month, runs the monthly bingo games, purchases the supplies needed for the daily operation of the center, takes out and puts away games, cards, etc., and does so much more. Sometimes John is overlooked for his efforts. It is very hard to find a man like him in any organization, one who does so much yet gets very little credit. Thanks, John!

The election took place on May 14, 2010. The officers for the 2010-2011 years are President Marie Gallo, 1st Vice President Frank Zabransky, 2nd Vice President and Assistant Treasurer David Davidowicz, Secretary June Raymond and Treasurer Peter Gallo Jr. The program for the meeting was presented by Mr. Cosmo Palmisano, a Bergen County Representative for AARP. He spoke at length on what the new medical reform will do for the seniors. Some of the highlights of his presentation were: 1. Immediately after its en- actment, seniors who fall into the “Donut Hole” will receive a $250 rebate. Starting in 2011, seniors will receive a 50% discount on all brand-name drugs for those in the Donut Hole. By 2020, the Donut Hole will be eliminated. 2. The Medicare Tr ust Fund, which is currently projected to run out of money by 2017, will be extended at least through 2026. 3. Seniors will receive free preventative services. Starting in 2011, deductibles, co-payments, and other cost-sharing for preventative care will be eliminated. 4. The new law will also increase Medicare payments to doctors for primary care, protecting and increasing access to these vital services for seniors. 5.

The reform will provide for affordable long term care, by creating a new voluntary long-term care services insurance program. 7. The law will encourage reimbursing health care providers based on the quality of health care, rather than its quantity, taking away incentives to subject seniors to procedures and tests they do not need. Many other areas of the new law were discussed. President Marie reminded all the members that on June 11th the club will have its annual end of the year luncheon. The affair will take place at the Maywood Inn and the cost is $27.00 per person. She also invited members to the 2nd Annual Picnic in the Park on Saturday, June 26, 2010, at Woodland Park in Hasbrouck Heights. The cost is $12.00 per person. Story by Peter Gallo Jr. ### PAGE 24 - The Gazette Newspaper June 2010 Reflections June is a Time of Change Rev. Joseph Pickard, Vicar Church of St. John the Divine, Hasbrouck Heights Atop my desk sit three calendars. I use each of them to help me determine the schedule and orchestration of activities each month of the year, each week of the month, each day of the week and finally, the organization of the hours entrusted to me on a daily basis. One calendar records the “world’s” celebrations. It was created by The National Children’s Cancer Society, and each month it depicts “backyard birds” from around the country. The graphics are outstanding; the snippets of stories from people’s lives that are living with cancer share a small portion of their journeys which need to be told; and the dates list what is happening regularly. For June – Flag Day, Father’s Day, and the First Day of Summer are noted in bold type. The month of June also sees Graduations of many kinds, most commonly from Grammar School, Middle School, and High School. The majority of colleges have graduated their students in May so they may enter the work force as early as possible. June brings with it a definite sense of “vacation” – or at least the hope that everyone can “get away” for awhile – a change of pace and routine of life; a change in the weather – warmer, brighter, longer days; a change in the opportunities we enjoy – BBQing, getting to the movies more frequently, ice cream, picnics in the park. The second calendar on my desk is a liturgical, church calendar. It gives me different information about my sphere of life. It tells me which church Season we’re in; what Saint or Apostle, or Celebration is current in the month; what color is appropriate; what marks the progress of understanding God’s presence in the world and learning how to live the fullest possible life of faith. Over the more than six decades of my life I have learned that ‘living’ is a liturgical activity – no matter what calendar we choose to follow regularly. For Christians, the month of June opens the Season after Pentecost. It’s the longest Season of the church year, and encompasses 26 weeks – generally from mid-May to late-November, and each week focuses on a particular aspect of Jesus’ teaching and ministry – which sets the example for each of us. The third calendar I carry with me where ever I go. It’s my personal, daily log of life. I record, hour by hour, the tasks I need to do each day, the people with whom I come in contact, the activities, meetings, events at which I am expected. It is my journal and my friend; without it I’m lost – or at least what I think is the productive, accomplishment oriented facet of who I am. It helps me record the people in my life - their anniversaries; our contacts; our time together; the stories we share; the things we create together; and the potential of that which we commonly build. I’m not of a mind to use the newest palm pilot, or cyber/ electronic tools. I still cling to the heftier, totable type of calendar. I need something to hold on to. Perhaps this is the ground upon which I have my being – something to hold on to. For me, it is knowing God in the fullest sense possible, which makes hope possible. It is God who brought all things into being; who knows us and calls us his own. O u r l i ve s’ jo u r n e y s , marked daily in this world, are a recording of the points which connect us to things larger, more wonderful, glorious, and mysterious than we can ever imagine – and yet is so intimate, caring and compassionate, that each moment gives witness to the delight of being alive. “Jabez” is only mentioned once in the Bible, in the Hebrew Scriptures (I Chronicles 4:10). He is a man of faith, and his prayer has been recorded for eternity. I have never found him “celebrated” on a calendar; but he is one of my daily companions. He asked of God: “Oh that you would bless me, and enlarge my territory, and that your hand would be with me, and keep me from all harm!” God granted what he asked. May God g rant you a peaceful June, a time of refreshment this summer and sense of wonder and delight in all of life. ### Formerly Associated Gift Shop Same owners • New location The Religious Shoppe 220 Boulevard, Hasbrouck Heights 201-288-4373 • www.thereligiousshoppe.com Religious Gifts for all Occasions Baptism Communion Confirmation Weddings Anniversaries Birthdays Graduations Ordination Holidays Church Schedules: Hasbrouck Heights BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH 31 Passaic, HH • 288-4139 www.biblebaptist.net Rev.

Dianna Smith announced that the First Reformed Church has launched a weekly Cyber Worship service consisting of scripture readings, a short reflection on the scripture, music and prayers. Commenting on the success of the service, Rev. Smith said, “In an age of time crunches, overburdened parents and children, and a deep hungering for something that has meaning, Cyber Worship is a time to reconnect with God, and with others in the Christian community. What began as a project for my Doctoral Degree has expanded to become a true work of the Holy Spirit, changing lives and changing the Church.” Worshippers have praised the service as a connection to Church and a chance to recharge batteries. The worship service is offered every Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. on the First Reformed Church Cyber Worship site on the social media network Facebook. To access the Facebook site, one must be a subscriber to the Facebook community; once signed in, First Reformed Cyber Church can be found through a name search. The First Reformed Church of Hasbrouck Heights is a congregation of the Reformed Church of America, founded by the Dutch in New Amsterdam in 1628. Today, the RCA is a diverse and inclusive community of believers growing in faith and witnessing to the gospel in word and deed. The Church welcomes all to worship every Sunday at 10:00 a.m. For more information call 201-288-1122 or [email protected] ### Turkey Dinner With all the Trimmings On May 1, 2010, the Faith Reformed Church, Lodi, NJ, held their 4th Annual Dinner and Silent Auction.

An invitation from Holy Trinity Lutheran Church. . . Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, at the corner of Burton and Hamilton Avenues in Hasbrouck Heights, welcomes you to be a part of our “From the Porch” ministries. During June, we are sponsoring a “Just Because/Just for Fun” ministry to thank our soldiers overseas for all their sacrifices. We will be sending a care package of items for fun and recreation (for men or women). Playing cards, recent magazines, frisbees, puzzle books, snacks such as microwave popcorn, granola bars (no chocolate or things that melt), etc., are among the suggested items. Use your imagination! Items may be left on the porch at Holy Trinity, 92 Burton Avenue, Sundays in June from 9 to 11 a.m. Thanks to all who participated in our Barefoot4Haiti program. Close to 300 pairs of shoes have been collected to date and, with the help of New Balance North Jersey on Route 17 and Soles for Souls, appropriate footwear has been forwarded to those in Haiti struggling to recover from the earthquake. Watch The Gazette Newspaper for more on Holy Trinity’s monthly ministries or check our front porch for the “From the Porch” project of the month. We invite you to join us – in small ways, together, we can make a big difference! If you have any questions, please call 201-288-6889. ### Tools Of Hope Corpus Christi Church To honor Father’s Day each year, The Guild of Reformed Church Women collect money to buy Tools of Hope for Church World Services.

The men (or women) can be here or anywhere in the world. They can use the tools to remove debris, repair homes or businesses, plant crops, etc. The Guild would like to collect enough to pay for 100 tool kits. Send a contribution to Guild of Reformed Church Women, Box 66, First Reformed Church, Hasbrouck Heights, NJ 07604. The need is great. Deadline is Father’s Day, June 21, 2009. ### Rosary Society News The final General Meeting of the Rosary Society before summer break is Thursday, June 10, 2010, in the school cafeteria following the recitation of the Rosary at 7:15 p.m. and Mass in the Chapel.

This year’s affair was held on April 24, 2010, in the Father Patrick Morris Hall. The Church’s Lectors, Eucharist Ministers, Choir Members, Ushers, Greeter, Decorating Committee, Religious Education Teachers, Pre Cana Team, Organization Leaders, Altar Servers, etc., were all invited and were served by the members of the Assumption School’s Eighth Graders. However, this year’s festivities had a new twist. The parishioners used the occasion to show their appreciation to the priests who serve their parish. Deacon Nicholas Valdez offered a blessing prayer to the priests and then he and his wife, Carol, presented a statue of St. Francis to Fr. Brian P. Cullinane, Pastor, Fr. Paul G. Sinnema and Fr. Thomas Kelly.

The dinner was a way to honor and express their appreciation to all the men of the cloth. The evening was opened to all Knights and their wives, and was a great way for the Knights to show their Priests and Deacons how proud the Knights are of them. More than 500 men and women were in attendance. Many dignitaries were present, including the Most Reverend John J. Myers, Archbishop of Newark since 2001, Past Archbishop of Newark Most Reverend Peter Leo Gerety who served from 1974 to 1986 and State Deputy Herbert Meyers from Regina Council #1688 in Rutherford. The local priests who attended the dinner were Father Brian Cullinane, Father Paul Sinnema, and Father Thomas Kelly all from Wood-Ridge, and Rev. Msgr. Lewis V. Papera from Hasbrouck Heights. The Knights who attended from Assumption Church in WoodRidge were Deacon Nicholas Valdez and his wife Carol, Deacon Candidate Frank Ma- teria and his wife Kathy, Grand Knight Angelo Urato and his wife Sandra, PGK Peter Gallo and his wife Marie, and PGK and District Deputy Russell Petrocelli; and from Corpus Christi Church in Hasbrouck Heights were Grand Knight Michael Marella, PGK Joseph Blythe, PGK John Duvernay, PGK Silvio Sartori, PGK and District Deputy Anthony Bernice and Council members Joseph Vucak, Michael Ciano, Joseph Peso, Steven Kriso and David Kriso. The Archdiocese of Newark consists of four counties: Bergen, Essex, Hudson and Union. More than 2,800,000 Catholics reside in this archdiocese. There are 21,000 Knights and 95 Councils in the Archdiocese. At the dinner, State Deputy Herbert Meyer presented The Most Reverend Archbishop John J. Myers a check in the amount of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) raised from the local Councils during the Drive for those with Intellectual Disabilities which will go to Catholic Charities. The Archbishop expressed his gratitude to the Knights and commented on their accomplishments.

The three course meal was not only pleasing to the eye, but was also delicious and plentiful. An added attraction was a performance by Joe Amato. He sang a tribute to Frank Sinatra. He selected many of the songs Sinatra made famous. Joe is a great Sinatra impersonator who has had many years of experience entertaining in many cities including Las Vegas. Friends chairwomen Marilyn Bowen and Amy Nodroff did an excellent job in planning the luncheon. One can only wonder where the “Friends” will take us next year!

Prior to this legislative change, drivers were only mandated to yield, an ambiguous direction authorities say led to one of the highest rates of pedestrian fatalities in the nation. Motorists violating the new law face a $200 fine (double the current fine), plus court costs, and 2 points on their license. They can also be subject to 15 days of community service and insurance surcharges. In addition, if a motorist hits a pedestrian, the burden of proof as to blame falls squarely on the driver. Previously, there was no legal standard. Pedestrians may also be cited under state law for failing to use due care when crossing. The law requires them to obey pedestrian signals and use crosswalks at signalized intersections as well as yield the right of way to traffic if they are not crossing within a crosswalk or at an intersection. Failure to comply with the law carries a $54 fine, plus court costs. ### WALK Facing Traffic BIKE With Traffic and cold drinks. There will be several inflatable amusements.
