The Record from Hackensack, New Jersey • 12

A-38 THE RECORD, SUNDAY. JULY 7. 1985 NORTHERN VALLEY PASCACK VALLEY I Teaneck students' achievements In Pra of firemen tion and code-enforcement program. Mr. Stubbs would better Hudson footpath: long way still to go graduates of the schools system.

As your readers who attended the recent spring musical, "Barnum," can attest, more than 100 students exhibited their acting, dancing, and musical adeptness. From the sideshow with a strongman and a two-headed lady to the musical productions, it was a delightful and accomplished performance. The schools can boast of students who attained distinction as Latin scholars, in the Math League, in physics, and in creative writing, winning recognition in regional or national contests; musicians and choral students who were selected for All- North Jersey Band and Chorus; and three high school debaters who won state contests and will represent New Jersey at the national tournament in Wisconsin. We hope you see from this brief account of some of the achievements of Teaneck students that we have cause to be proud. We wanted to bring this to your attention in the hope of achieving the balance which we would like to expect from local and county newspapers.

KAY HOWER NAOMI CRAMER Teaneck Council of PTA'sPTO's Editor, The Record: We are writing to you on behalf of the a neck Council of Parents and Teachers, which is the umbrella organization of all the parent-teacher associations and organizations. Our membership consists of interested, involved, and active parents. We have chosen to live in Teaneck and educate our children in the public schools because we feel these schools are striving for excellence; offer academic, social, and athletic activities to all; and provide curricula and teachers that foster growth. The high school's recently mentioned problems are, unfortunately, similar to those in neighboring communities. But in Teaneck's style, they have been confronted with determination, directly and publicly.

We, as parents, feel that a letter applauding our children's achievements becomes necessary in light of the lack of balance with which The Record covers Teaneck. Many students excel in a number of areas, and their years in the Teaneck schools culminate in their acceptance into the finest colleges and other post-secondary institutions. This year's seniors have a record which does them credit, as individuals and as Help make Paramus beautiful again to open on Sundays, our beautiful town will be far from tranquil. We used to have a slogan saying, "Help keep Paramus beautiful." Why not bring that back again, along with lowering taxes in Paramus, by getting our business people to pay their share. Homeowners deserve a tax break.

DEE ZORN Paramus curbing to their former condition. Mayor Cipolla assured me that the roads would be done in the spring, but nothing has been done. The thunderous noise of trucks in the morning hours and on into the day creates a circus atmosphere in our town. Between traffic, proposed office buildings, condominiums, and perhaps even stores being allowed Editor, The Record: I met with our Honorable Mayor Cipolla of Paramus this past winter to discuss the road conditions and broken curbing created by the Hackensack water pipeline project on Linwood and Highland avenues. This project caused residents along these streets many inconveniences, and they have not started to repair the roads or Albanese spells community service Sv' By JjM Simmon Staff Writ Last April Governor Kean unveiled the design of an 18-mile paved footpath that would border the Hudson River from the George Washington Bridge to the Bayonne Bridge.

Yet despite Kean's vision of the footpath's becoming the centerpiece of New Jersey's waterfront renaissance, its completion may span several decades, says John Weingart, the acting director of the Division of Coastal Resources. UPDATE Fifteen months later, be said, the only significant development on the site has been the construction by Hartz Mountain Industries Inc. of a temporary walkway at Shanghai Red's, which is part of Lincoln Harbor, the S227-million development that Se-cauc us-based Hartz Mountain's is building in Weehawken. The path's construction "has progressed," he said, "but there has not been enough development on the waterfront in the first year to see a walkway." Coald take a long time Weingart added that several areas of the walkway should be constructed over the next several years, but the completion could take "a long time, as the waterfront gets developed and redeveloped." The walkway was the result of two years of planning by Philadelphia-based Wallace, Roberts, and Todd, an urban- and environmental-planning firm. It was paid $93,000 to develop specific guidelines by which the state Department of Environmental Protection, municipal governments, and developers could encourage the creation of walkway segments.

State legislation requires developers to build the path into their projects in exchange for state permission to build on the waterfront The state, which plans to connect the gaps between the walkway segments by using the existing sidewalks nearest the river, may have to buy bits of property to make connections, said Weingart. Joint public-private project The private sector will be responsible for constructing most of the path, said Antoinette F. Seymour, senior associate and project director for Wallace, Roberts, and Todd. "It is a joint public-private development effort" she said. Wallace, Roberts, and Todd is assisting in the development of two waterfront projects apart from Hartz Mountain's Lincoln Harbor a marina at the Bayonne Bridge, the path's southern terminus, and the renovation of Liberty State Park in Jersey City.

TO serve his community by addressing the critical problems of manpower shortages and equipment updating. Finally, Mr. Stubbs is fortunate to reside in a community that provides professional fire protection. I sincerely hope that he never experiences a loss of life or property before he begins to appreciate his city's firefighters. THOMAS P.

I had never realized that my husband, Anthony, a policeman, touched so many individuals. Hackensack should be very proud to have a police chief like Anthony Iurato.

Editor, The Record: In answer to Robert W. Stubbs's letter of May 26, let me first state that although it is part of a firefighter's job to maintain the station by regular housekeeping, it is the city's responsibility to have repairs made to any and all city-owned buildings. I have yet to see a public works employee make an arrest, nor have I seen a police officer painting the police station. So how do we arrive at the conclusion that the firefighters should make building repairs in their spare on-duty time? Mr. Stubbs further states that 99 percent of a firefighter's time is spent playing cards or checkers.

Recent studies by the National Fire Protection Association and the International Association of Fire Fighters show firefighting to be one of the most dangerous and debilitating occupations in America. Firefighters spend countless hour, both in drill and in actual firefighting, learning to combat hostile environments of 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit and toxic smoke that would make Mr. Stubbs a stranger in his own home. It would probably be a safe bet that if Ridgewood's firefighters aren't fighting fires every day. it is due to some type of fire-preven publican, is a member of the planning board, and Paul's wife, Patricia, has been the borough's tax collector since 1973.

In terms of civic service, though, they're part of the same mosaic in Palisades Park. It's a town where the name Albanese has come to be synonymous with involvement in municipal affairs. Vincent Albanese is a Republican, while Mario is chairman of the Democratic municipal committee. And their differences go back a long way. "We were a debating society of our own when we were young," Mario said.

Both are strong believers in civic service, though and active practitioners. Vincent is president of the Palisades Park Homeowners Association, and served on the board of education for six years and the planning board for 15 years. Mario is a former president of the board of health. Both are brothers of former Democratic Assemblyman Vito Albanese of Fort Lee. "I like to believe that my brothers followed in my Vito said.

Nonetheless, some of the others share the brothers' interest in civic affairs. One of them, for instance, is former Democratic Councilman Nicholas "Tutty" Albanese, who is president of the borough's Democratic Club.
