The Property Maintenance Division cited those property owners today.  A Court appearance is required.  The judge will likely fine the owners.

Hackensack Discussion / Re: Teterboro Airport
« on: January 23, 2005, 04:04:18 PM »
From The Record, January 13, 2005.

How very fortunate and lucky |for Norma Baguer and her family that no one was injured ("Piece falls from plane after takeoff," Page L-1, Jan. 10). This just reinforces the fact that there is no rationale for a jetport at Teterboro Airport in the middle |of densely packed residential communities.

Jet aircraft fly very low on approach to the airport over a vast number of homes, schools and playgrounds. The airport creates noise pollution affecting learning for dozens of children. The solution is having the Federal Aviation Administration pick up the bulk of the cost for soundproofing those schools.

What would Teterboro operators suggest be done to protect ourselves and our loved ones from falling debris as use of this facility increases? Answer: Expand Newark Liberty Airport and put corporate jet traffic back where it belongs, where it is more appropriate for international flights to land and where there is more appropriate security.

I heard other people were getting these calls too.  I'm told that the "poll takers" will not say who they are.

This happened in Englewood: Click here for the story.

The article reads: "outsiders sent out glossy brochures, paid for automated telephone calls, and even conducted a poll."

Incidentally, anyone can create polls on these message boards.  Just click "New Poll" on the upper right side and fill out the form fields.

This is an election year for the City Council.  Elections will take place on May 10, 2005.  I composed the following list in order to facilitate discussion about candidates' qualifications for this office.  This list should not be construed as an endorsement of any candidate.   

Top Ten Things to Look for in a Candidate for City Council

10.    Roots. Does this candidate have roots in this community?  How long has he/she lived here?  Owned property here? Did he/she go to school here?  Work here? Is he/she truly invested in this community?  Is this candidate known?

9.    Level of Concern. How sincere can a candidate be unless he/she has taken the time to learn the issues that affect City residents?  How many City Council meetings has this candidate attended in the last year? How many Zoning Board Meetings?  Planning Board Meetings?  School Board Meetings? Does he/she understand the issues that these Boards address? Does this candidate have any idea how City government operates?

8.   Community Support. Has this candidate ever served the City in any volunteer capacity?  Served on a Board?  Participated in the City’s Clean-Up Day? Supported events at the Cultural Arts Center?  Coached Little League? 

7.   Motivation. What is this candidate’s motivation for running?  To simply say "I want to make the City a better place to live" is not enough.  Does this candidate have a solid grasp of the issues facing the City in the coming years? Is this more than a personal ego trip for power and prestige? Does he/she have a vision?

6.   Education/Experience. What is this candidate’s educational background?  Is this candidate a college graduate?  If not, does this candidate have the appropriate life experience by way of managing a business?  Working in a related industry? Raising children?  Being a good spouse?  Are these skills transferable to public office?  Education isn’t everything, but it’s important.

5.   Integrity. Is this candidate an independent thinker?  Can he she be a consensus builder?  Remember:  He/she is only one of five Council members.  Is this candidate a team player, willing to compromise when necessary and stay true to his/her convictions on the important issues?

4.   Ethics. Is this candidate morally/ethically worthy to hold public office? Does he/she have a questionable past with one or more instances of moral indiscretion? While ethical quality should be a "given", candidates should volunteer this information, acknowledge past indiscretions, subject themselves to criticism, and let the voters decide. 

3.   Sacrifice. Is this candidate fully aware of the sacrifice he or she must make to serve in this important role?  This position requires 25-30 per week on average.  The pay is lousy. (Check me, but I think it’s under $10,000 a year).  25 hours, in addition to a regular job, is very taxing.  Only sincere, dedicated people need apply.

2.    Vision. Does this candidate see the tremendous potential in this City?  Does he/she shop on Main Street?  Know the key players in the business sector?  Understand the changing landscape in this growing City?  Realize the impact (good and bad) of the Medical Center? Proposed light rail transportation network? Special Improvement District?  Property tax reform?  Environmental issues of the Hackensack River, and dozens of other issues that will directly affect our quality of life.

1.   Trust Worthiness. Can you, the voter, trust this person to dedicate him/herself to fully represent your interests as a citizen and taxpayer. (New Jersey residents are one of the highest taxed citizens in the nation.)  Does this candidate posses all of the qualities necessary to formulate and institute policy that will truly make Hackensack a better City in which to live and work?

2005 Ron Vellekamp Environmental Scholarship

Annual Hackensack Riverkeeper award to be awarded in June

Hackensack, NJ - Beginning today, applications are being accepted for the 2005 Ron Vellekamp Environmental Scholarship. Now in its fifth year, the program was created to support college-bound high school seniors with excellent grades and a strong commitment to the environment.

The guidance departments of every high school in the Hackensack River watershed, which lies in parts of three counties (Rockland in New York; and Bergen and Hudson in New Jersey), were contacted today and invited to nominate one of their students for the Scholarship.

Guidance counselors or faculty advisors can submit applications on behalf of any student they feel should be considered. A panel that includes Captain Bill Sheehan, the executive director of Hackensack Riverkeeper, Trustees and staff  will review each application. In deciding upon a winner, the panel will consider each applicant’s academic achievements, environmental extra-curricular activities and future plans. The $1000 Scholarship is unrestricted and can be used for the purchase of books or other educational materials during the student’s first year in college.

Mr. Daniel De Santis of New City, New York was the 2004 Ron Vellekamp Scholarship winner.  While enrolled at Clarkstown Senior High School South, De Santis worked with the organization Keep Rockland Beautiful and developed environmental education (EE) programs for youth. He also started an advisory board that brought together student leaders from five Rockland County high schools to do EE. De Santis recently completed his first semester at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts where he is majoring in Global Environmental Science.

“Dan was the first applicant who had such a wealth of experience in environmental outreach,” said Carola. “As always, we had a well-qualified group of students to choose from but Dan showed a remarkable commitment to active conservation.”

Application criteria are available at www.HackensackRiverkeeper.org or by calling Hugh Carola at 201-968-0808.  Applications must be postmarked no later than Earth Day, April 22, 2005. The winner will be announced at Hackensack RiverFest on June 4.

The Ron Vellekamp Scholarship is supported by generous donations from friends and family of the late Mr. Vellekamp of Tenafly, NJ. Prior to his untimely death in 2002, the active high school teacher also served as a part-time park ranger at Palisades Interstate Park, a longtime Scout leader and a dedicated Trustee of Hackensack Riverkeeper.

“We endeavor to support students who show the same level of commitment to environmental protection that Ron had,” said Capt. Sheehan. “It’s a living memorial.”

Hackensack Riverkeeper is the leading environmental organization working on Hackensack River issues.  Its mission is the protection, preservation and restoration of the Hackensack River watershed and its living resources.
