Hackensack History / Re: Paul Foschini Memorial Park
« on: September 29, 2005, 01:00:26 AM »
The original name of the park was Riverside Park.  Older Hackensack residents still refer to it as Riverside Park from time to time.  Also, this is for the editor:  River Rd is in Teaneck (yuck) and River St. is in Hackensack.  LOL

Hackensack Discussion / Re: Civilian Complaint Review Board

It is within the power of the city council/mayor/city manager to create policies for the welfare of the city as long as it doesn't interfere or overstep county, state or federal laws.

One thing I do wish for is the mayor and the city council become full time employees of the city and not part-time.  A city of Hackensack size and importance to the region need full time attention.

Actually Joe, it's up to each municipality to give the police review board the power to subpoena when creating it.  It appears that Teaneck went down that path.  If the HPD doesn't have anything to hide, it shouldn't be a problem for the city council to give the review board such powers.  It can only help build a better bond between the community of Hackensack and the HPD.

Even though Teaneck review board didn't have the power to subpoena people, it did serve its purpose with creating aveunes to check police conduct in dealing the community.  As you fail to mention, with or without subpoena power, the board has seen fewer complaints.  It probably has more to do with TPD not wanting any negative publicity.  Any time there is someone to watch you, one is more likely to straighten up and fly right.  It all about checks and balances to make sure everything fair for all.

Hackensack Discussion / Justice dept. coming to Hackensack?
« on: March 20, 2005, 11:46:32 AM »
There was an article in the Record this past week talking about Police problems with the youth of Hacknesack, does anyone have more info on this issue?  Will this affect the upcoming elections?  If this is true who will pay the price for this problem, the current administration or police dept. or citizens of Hackensack? ???

Al, lets kill this debate and move on to something else.  Besides, I like the sarcasm from you about "who is sayhey".   lol

I'm the same one, but not the only one that jumps on Zisa when he continues to let the people of Hackensack down with self-interest moves.  You remember me because I gave info that hit harder then most on the other forum such as the Trooper/Hackensack P.O. incident.  You claim I don't back up my claims, but I do because I have access to a member of Zisa's inner circle (city council-man who talks) and the trooper thing... I got it from a trooper (Hackensack guy and life long friend) who was involved on the seatbelt check part of the incident.  I've notice that you responded to me more then other on your forum even though I don't post that often.  What about others on both forums that continue to attack Zisa with more posts then I can write in a year?  Why don't you attack the "The Record" for bashing Zisa more then I do because they see a problem with him too?  Editor, the article is "great" for other downtowns because they are following that course, where as Hackensack continues to spend money on studies to "improve Hackensack".   How many more studies (with tax-payers' money) are there going to before something is really done?  All that has been done so far is band-aid measures.  During the 90s this country saw great growth on Wall St. down to mom and pop stores around the country except Hackensack's Main St.  National chain store moved in on River St. while small stores on Main St. closed only to be replaced by 99 cent stores.   That's a community life-saver if I ever saw one. (lol)  Could it be that Zisa (since 89) hasn't done more within his powers to be a bigger part of the growth during that time?  It's great the big box stores came, but what about the original stores?  There needs to be a mix of stores to help towns such as Hackensack to survive.  Also, as you posted revival of downtown increases the image, pride and value of the entire community.   I'm not here to fight you, but I'm here to be the right to the left and the up to the down because a person in power unchecked or questioned is dangerous.

As for Steve the other poster, have you ever seen a magic trick?  The hand is faster then the eye.  With all the new stores (strip malls) on River St. opening, the same amount has closed on Main St.  You might not have shopped at Prozy's, but plenty of other have and Lowitz was a quality store that plenty of people "still" found up-to-date suits and other things.  When things happened in the community, the local stores (not national chain stores) are more inclined to get involve because the outcome affects them more just as is does the rest of the citizens of Hackensack.   Big box stores on River St. pad themselves from local stuff with billions dollars profit years.  Also Steve, I know where you're coming from because of your relationship to someone in the administration, but that's not for here to explain to all.

Oh, for the editor:  I did not invent online bashing of Zisa.  It was always there just that there wasn't a way to voice it until now.  I just happen to be the first to post on the other forum about him.  Besides, I can't be bought like some on the forum.

Hackensack Discussion / For the editor

I don't attack Zisa as much as you would like other forum readers to believe because I don't post that often to began.  There are others on the forum that do far more attacking Zisa (justifiable at times).  Since you have been name to do something for the city (can't remember now), you taken a pro Zisa position on almost every topic on the forum.  How come you're not neutral..conflict of interest now?

You are right about it's not the city's job to bring stores (businesses) to Hackensack, but it's their job to make an environment friendly enough to encourage them to come.  Now, tell me that this current adminstration has done so?  Except for strip malls on River St., Main St. has been left for dead.  Besides, I had one or two lines total on Zisa in my previous post.  My post was more about Hackensack losing an identity with the closing of community stores like Prozy's, Lowitz and so on.  What next Cowans?  I'm more concerned about the welfare of Hackensack then Zisa, but he happens to have the power to control the fate of Hackensack right now.

Hackensack Discussion / Main St.
« on: December 31, 2004, 01:09:14 PM »
I just heard about Prozy's on Main St. (Clifton location will remain open) is closing after 70+ years.  There is a trend going on here with Prozy's, Lowitz, and other long time residents of Main St.  It's funny how the stores on the lower half of Main St. are closing (being replaced by 99 cent stores) and the upper half is receiving help from the city thru different organizations.  I smell a rat name Zisa for allowing this to continue without seriously helping.  If Englewood, Ridgewood and others small downtowns survive, why can't Hackensack?  Unless there is someone with a motive...like Zisa and crew.   What makes a community is stores like Prozy's and Lowitz, not 99 cents stores.  Prozy's and Lowitz offered goods that could make people visit them.  If Hackensack added some more stores like the one's found in Englewood and Ridgewood, that would give life to Main St. and breath a second life into the established stores already there.  Also, it would give Hackensack some life again as well as some pride.  Strip malls don't give a community an identity or life.  It puts more distance between the community and businesses.  I don't know the people at Cosco or Shoprite strip mall, but I know the people at Prozy's.  I'm more likely to shop at Prozy's then the other places because Prozy's knows my likes and dislikes and therefore are more helpful.

if you going to point out Hackensack High problems, well talk about neighboring towns such as Paramus, which has a higher number of incidents violent and non-violent according to the state stats.

Also, the reason you see the police around the school is because Hackensack is one of few (and I mean few) schools in Bergen County that employs police as school resource officers... could that be why there is limited crime or violent acts at Hackensack High?  YES!   I'm tired of people coming on the forum to bad mouth Hackensack High or the school system (yes the system could be improved) and having nothing to back it up but here say to prove their point.  Look, if you don't like the school, don't send you children there.  Go somewhere else, but grow up and stop the BS bad mouthing of a school system that others depend on because they choose to attend.

Children only act out what their see and if you child watches you...may god bless that child's soul for he or she will grow up with hate and stupidity because someone failed to show him or her right from wrong.

Again unknown, I ask you to post the facts, but you haven't.  See, it leaves the impression that you're lying about the complete facts.  In this case, the messenger is just as important as the message when the messenger dances around the point.  Also, I ask you to be a MAN or WOMAN and give yourself a screen name or something.  Too many people can come on and post crap, then leave.   Are you the guy that posts in the Record's editorial every year around the same time about Hackensack school systems?  If you are, then I know it's personal because of you firing from the school system some time back.

I guess it's you job to create issues on the forum about Hackensack schools?  Be a man or woman and put a name and facts about it every time you post.  Only troublemakers hide behind the "unknown" tag.

You're right about people coming onto the forum with negative stuff about the high school.  There are far more important things to speak on concerning the high school such as improving educational standards.  Even though the high school sends a high percentage of kids to college, you can always try to improve on those who don't go.  Help them prep for life with better educational skills to take into the work place.


Eric, First St. would be safer if closed for the kids during school, but the street was there before the school.  Also, it's a county road and a main road used by the county, the city and the hospital.  It serves a greater role in the community and the county then just the high school.

I think a terrorist would want more bang for the buck then the lower half of Main St.  Terrorists want a grand stage with tons of death and something of importance to all Americans.  The location of the blast is important to us, but outside of Hackensack it doesn't really matter.
