Visotcky, whose love of street-level Democratic politics took him from the gritty world of Garfield city government to the deputy speaker's post in the state Assembly, died of congestive heart failure early Saturday.

He was 73. Mr. Visotcky was active in Garfield politics for years and served as mayor from 1970 to 1972. He later served 12 years in the Assembly, where he wrote the bill that created an assistance program to help the elderly afford prescription drugs. But Mr.

Visotcky enjoyed the hustle and bustle of politics far more than wrestling with weighty social issues, said his older son, Richard P. Visotcky of Manahawkin, who has vivid memories of walking the streets of Garfield as his father campaigned by knocking on doors and handing out fliers. "He loved local politics. 1 He loved grass-roots campaigning. It was in his blood," his son said.

"His father was active in Democratic politics in Garfield when he was a child, so it was in his blood." When Mr. Visotcky won the mayoral election in 1969, a year af- Served 12 years ter joining the City Council, he had to sue the outgoing Republican administration to prevent it from stripping his office of its powers before he took over. He left the mayor's post after the city reorganized its governing structure in 1972, but stayed on the City Council until 1975, when he resigned to focus his energies on the Assembly. As Mr. Visotcky moved up the ranks in Trenton, he was named chairman of several Assembly committees, including the Institutions and Agencies committee, where he found a job for a bright young staffer named Jim McGreevey.

"My father had kind of taken him under his wings and shown him around, and look at where he is now," the younger Visotcky said of McGreevey, who was elected governor last year. Visotcky lost only two elections in his life his first run for the Garfield council in 1953, and his final bid for reelection in 1985. He was deputy speaker at the time, but had recently undergone triplebypass surgery. He and Assemblyman Robert Hollenbeck, another Democrat representing the district, both lost their seats in a Republi- ROY C. BOSSOLT, 89, of Paramus died Thursday.

Mary the Vir- Bloomberg Says city must with next phases By KAREN MATTHEWS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK A day after New York City won the bid to be the U.S. candidate for hosting the 2012 Summer Olympics, the mayor said Sunday that the city needs to be dedicated to the next phase. "We're not going to change our plan," said Mayor Michael Bloomberg. "We didn't just have a P.R. thing.

We actually put together a plan of how we would do it, how we would finance it, where it would be, how we could get it done. We have to keep fleshing that out as the world changes and our economics change." The U.S. Olympic Committee announced Saturday that New York had beaten San Francisco to be its choice to host the summer Olympics in 2012. The city will now compete against a field that could include Rome, Toronto, Moscow, and Istanbul. The International Olympic Committee will make the final selection in 2005.

Bloomberg and the city's bid committee, NYC2012, will have in Assembly can landslide. "We had 12 good years, and we think we served well," Visotcky told a reporter that election night. "But the will of the people is the will of the people." Mr. Visotcky retired in 1988 after a long career at Public Service Electric and Gas where he worked as a collections supervisor. He and his brother, Louis, also owned City Wholesalers, a store in Garfield.

Mr. Visotcky was active in many Garfield civic organizations for years. He and his wife, Lois, moved to Manahawkin 10 years ago to be closer to their son and because it was the only way for him to gracefully decline many civic obligations in Garfield as his health declined, the younger Visotcky said. In recent years, when he wasn't focusing on his baseball card collection, Mr. Visotcky would regularly make his way to his son's law office to pass the time and make conversation.

Though he had never gone to college, his son said, he still carried a dignified presence. "Everybody thought he was an attorney," his son said. In addition to his wife, his Richard F. Visotcky, shown in a 1985 photo, served as Garfield's mayor before his Assembly terms. brother, and his older son, Mr.

hails press forward of bid for 2012 economic development, has said the city, state, and private opers will build those projects whether the games come to New York or not. Speaking to reporters at the New York City Marathon on Sunday, Bloomberg said the city needs the improvements. "Most of the things that the Olympics needs, New York City needs anyway," he said. "And we're not going to wait for 2012. No.

1, you don't know if you're going to get the Olympics, and No. 2, the people of this city need these facilities now." But there is opposition to a $1 billion proposal to convert a railroad yard along the Hudson River into an Olympic stadium. "There will be blocks that will until then to convince the IOC that they can build $904 million worth of fields, courts, and arenas and an estimated $5 billion worth of new subways and housing and a stadium on Manhattan's West Side. Daniel Doctoroff, a prime mover behind the Olympic bid and Bloomberg's deputy mayor for Olympic be ripped up," said John Fisher of the Clinton Special District Coalition, a community group that is organizing opposition to the stadium. "There will be people that will be evicted." Jonathan Bowles, research director for the Center for an Urban Future think tank, said he was of two minds about the Olympic bid.

"It would help the city build transportation infrastructure, create open spaces, and build housing, three things that the city des- selection perately needs," he said. "But I don't think there's been enough scrutiny on how much this is going to cost and whether we can afford it right now." Some marathon spectators said winning the right to host the Olympics would cheer New Yorkers after last year's terrorist attack. "I think it would prove to the world that after Sept. 11 the city goes on and so does the country," said the Rev. David Mickiewicz, a Roman Catholic priest.

DWI arrest nets attempted murder suspect ALLENDALE A Hackensack man wanted for attempted murder in Essex County was in custody after police stopped him for drunken driving, authorities said. Officer Joseph Galasso said he stopped Donnie Morrison early Saturday for driving his minivan erratically on Hillside Avenue and for failing to keep to the right. Galasso said he noticed an empty gin bottle and an empty 40- ounce beer bottle in the vehicle. Morrison failed the sobriety test and refused to submit to a breath test, the officer said. When Galasso checked Morrison's background in his computer, he found a 2001 warrant out of Newark for aggravated assault, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and attempted murder.

Morrison, of Hackensack, was charged in Allendale with DWI and several motor vehicle offenses. Morrison had served prison time for a murder in Paterson in 1975 and for a 1976 robbery, police said. He was remanded to the Essex County Sheriff's Department. Officer Paul Stettner and communications Officer John Gagnon assisted in the investigation. Leslie Koren.
