This is a must read article:   Troubling uses for Teterboro

The author questions recently revealed uses for Teterboro including using it to send suspected terrorists off to Syria to be tortured.

In addition, the author writes:

Far too often, the question about Teterboro's potential danger overshadows another question: What kind of jet traffic does Teterboro cater to? But even more basic is this question: Is Teterboro's jet traffic really all that necessary - necessary enough for the feds to soundproof schools?

In January, many guests flying to Donald Trump's wedding in Florida departed from Teterboro. Apparently, these A-list celebrities simply would not stoop to using Newark, LaGuardia or JFK. In February, Teterboro was cited - praised, even - when a private jet was needed for a quick delivery of a professional basketball player to a game at Madison Square Garden. A flight on a commercial jet apparently just would not do.

Enough is Enough.  Residents really need to apply more pressure.  Keep writing, calling, emailing your elected officials and the NY/NJ Port Authority.  Nothing will happen unless there is a tremendous public outcry.

At the end of the day, the Teterboro issue is simply a matter of weighing benefit against risk and burden.  So far, no one has shown any real benefit to factor into the equation.

Beginning April 4 through the month, a gallery and exhibit of old Hackensack as depicted in the book, ‘Hackensack, A Pictorial History’ will take place at the Johnson Public Library.    


In June 2004, ‘Hackensack, A Pictorial History’ had its book premier at the Cultural Arts Center in Hackensack.  The authors Allan Petretti, Barbara J. Gooding, Theresa E. Jones and Terry E. Sellarole, all alumni of Hackensack High School, created the book with the goal that 100% of its sale would go directly to the Hackensack Blue and Gold Scholarship Fund. Beginning April 4 and through the month, visitors to the Johnson Public Library can get a glimpse of the book and the City of Hackensack via a gallery of old photos and pictures taken for the book as well artifacts from years gone by, many that were on exhibit and admired at the premier.

The Hackensack Blue and Gold Scholarship Fund has raised over half a million dollars in 5 years with the interest against this money going to qualifying Hackensack High School graduates.  To date $75,000 in scholarships has been planned.

The book is hard cover, coffee table style, and 160 pages packed with over 450 vintage photos of Hackensack.  Interesting fun facts and bits of nostalgia will give any reader satisfaction cover to cover. The book which sells for $34.95 plus $5.00 shipping and handling can be procured by sending a check payable to: H. B. & G. Scholarship Fund and mailed to Hackensack Blue and Gold Scholarship Fund, P.O. Box 2032, South Hackensack, New Jersey 07606.  Further information can be obtained about the book and the scholarship via the website: www.blueandgoldscholarship.com or telephoning 201-886-1775 or 201-883-1710.

Sorry.  Karma hadn't been working before.  Registered members should now see "clap" and "boo" on the left side.  Let me know if you can't see those buttons.

"Jazz":

Have you ever noticed that people with the weakest arguments always compare their adversaries to Hitler?

The County Seat does more to promote Hackensack's image than any paper before it.  It is a family-oriented, community newspaper, - that's all.  The paper consistently highlights what's good about this City and the people that live and work here.   These are stories that larger, regional papers could care less about. 

The paper's slogan is "Where Good News Travels Fast".  I fail to see the fascist undertones.  Relax.
