Edgewater“A Great Place to Live”

From the desk of Gregory S. Franz - Borough Administrator

Independence Day Celebration – The Edgewater Mayor and Council along with the Recreation Department are proud to present fireworks at Veterans Field on Friday, July 1 with a rain date of Monday July 5. Veterans Field will open to the public at 6:00 p.m. for children’s entertainment and activities, music, and food. The event is free except for the cost of refreshments. Bring a blanket and chair and watch the spectacular show produced by the Serpico Family of Newton, New Jersey’s International Fireworks Company since 1906, overlooking the George Washington Bridge and New York City skyline. The Edgewater trolley bus will operate along River Road and Undercliff Avenue between 5:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. so leave your car at home and walk and ride to the event. Inflatable rides, face painting, clowns, balloon toss are all available for the children, no alcoholic beverages permitted.

Route 5 Rock Stabilization Project – The New Jersey Department of Transportation will be performing a rock slope stabilization project along New Jersey Route 5 in Edgewater. This project calls for the removal and stabilization of rock along the cliff face. The work calls for approximately 28 days of full closure of Route 5 to perform the most dangerous work first. The borough requested that this work not commence until school ends in June so school transportation is not effected. At the conclusion of the 28 day closure, Route 5 will be open to east bound traffic only during working hours and during morning and afternoon peak hours, bi-directional traffic will be permitted. The Edgewater Police along with the Cliffside Park and Fort Lee Police Departments will work collectively in an attempt to keep traffic flowing and provide ample signage.

Borough Hall Moving Day – The Edgewater Police and Municipal offices are tentatively scheduled to move into the new Borough Hall at 55 River Road the weekend of June 17. Borough offices will be closed Friday, June 17 and Monday, June 20 and will reopen to the public on Tuesday, June 21 so that Borough staff can close down the old facility and prepare to open the new facility. We ask for residents’ cooperation if we do not respond in a timely manner during this period. Staff will be onsite and email and telephones should be operational by Saturday, June 18; however, we may be distracted in attempting to organize the offices and files. The Police Department should be operational in the new facility by Sunday, June 19; however, residents should not see any interruption in emergency service during this transition.

Crossing Guards NeededThe Edgewater Police Department is in need of crossing guards for the 2011-2012 school year.

Edgewater residents 18 and older can apply by filling out an application in the office of the Borough Administrator of Borough Hall. A valid New Jersey Drivers License is preferred. Standard back-

EDGEWATER – “A Great Place To Live”By Gregory S. Franz – Borough Administrator

By Bob BatchWell, after the world ended back there

on Dec. 21st this is what we’re left with. We’ll just go on imagining that all this craziness exists, and pretending that it all matters.

In the aftermath of the ‘Holidays’, and by the way, I think it’s correct to use the term ‘The Holidays’ because there are a bunch of holidays scrunched together in

a mad crescendo of orgasmic shopping at the end of the year, we have no choice but to take it all up again in the new year, or new world as the case may be.

This year I was thinking of making one of my resolutions: Being less reso-lute about things. Also, I’m not going to

complain as much, so I’m going to com-plain a little bit now to get this out of the way, and I’ll never bring it up again. I hate Legos!

Alright, before I start on the Legos, let me tell you where and when I was fi nally struck with this realization…

I don’t know how many of you read-ing this are mall rats, but I would venture to say that most people who frequent

the malls, even on a casual ba-sis, have gone to Paramus, and maybe even to Wayne Mall on a Sunday to cir-cumvent the Blue Laws. In the lives of some extraor-dinary shoppers though, there are always new hori-zons, new sum-mits to be con-quered in the quest for greater shopping thrills. And so I found myself on another

family outing at the ‘Jersey Gardens’.Jersey Gardens is not some lush bo-

tanical oasis as the name implies, but rather a mega outlet mall nestled be-tween the toxic chemical zone south of Port Elisabeth and near the Ikea off the New Jersey Turnpike by Newark Airport.

If you have a penchant for extreme park-ing lot challenges (sounds like the title for a good game show, no?) this could be the ideal place to go!

Designed by its owners to have com-pletely inadequate parking for the vast number of stores, as most shopping centers are, this mall is Nirvana to those individuals who revel in the high- pres-sure game of fi nding parking in the face of overwhelming competition, with four or fi ve cars vying for the same spot at once. Many eventually abandon the game and park on the grassy embankments or in stripped areas.

Being an outlet the place is decorated with minimal embellishment which lends an air of gloom to the whole shopping experience. The concept the designers were going for might have been some-thing akin to Home Depot and Old Navy having an illegitimate child. Anyway, it was there in that consumer-driven temple of mindless worship to cheap goods that I was struck by how ridiculous Legos are. Appropriately enough, at the Lego store.

I don’t there is any need to explain what Legos are. The little plastic build-ing pieces are such a successful brand that they have permeated every area of the culture and feature models of about everything from the space shuttle to the Hobbit. Just about every cultural aspect from movies to architecture has a Lego model dedicated to it. The strange thing is though; they’re all made out of these snap together square and rectangular

Have you ever had bad dreams that can be truly frightening nightmares or feel that you are being tired down to your bed by restrains?If you have terrible nightmares, we can con-clude that in most cases you are stressed out and it attracts a bad spiritual influence. Also if you cannot sleep well, your mind that has some negative thoughts like worries, anxiet-ies, and fears for your future so on attracts negative energy. Remedies for Sleep Paralysis and Spiritual Restraints Breathing MethodsBreathing methods offer good approach. If you cannot move and there is nothing you can do about it, in order to regain your own spirit, you should try catching your breath.As you are lying down, try to breathe from the lower stomach area below the belly but-ton. The idea is to provide your body with fresh oxygen. Try breathing in, and if you are able to repeat this deep respiration several times over, strangely enough you will find that the evil spirits have parted from you. One of the secrets of this breathing method is that as you breathe, light will enter your body. When that happens, the negative influ-ences that are holding you down will let go. At that moment, you will be free. This is how to escape through the breathing method.

Positive Thinking and Self-ReflectionAnother method is to change your perspec-tive into a positive one. The fact that spiritual influence can approach you is evidence that the wavelengths given off by your mind and the wavelengths of the negative energy are the same, so in this case you should reverse the situation. You must eliminate any think-ing about negative things and look towards the light. Think only about wonderful, posi-tive things within your mind. This is another method for dealing with this threat.

Another strategy is to practice self-reflec-tion. Even if the weight on your chest pre-vents your body from moving and you can-not move your hands either, that does not mean that this restraint is extending into your head. Therefore, while lying down, engage in self-reflection. If you find yourself in such a situation, it means that as some point up to the prior day you have been having trouble with human relationships. In this situation, try thinking about the person with whom you get along the least, a person about whom you get along the least, a person about whom you think, “I can’t stand him”, or, “If only she wasn’t around.” If there is someone in your life who fits this description, then try think-ing of him or her and practice self-reflection, then try thinking of him or her and practice self-reflection. In any event, start with apolo-gizing to this person.

Giving ThanksNext, another method is giving thanks.One day is like a lifetime. If you live by this philosophy, then the end of each day corre-sponds to the end of your entire life. So you should give thanks by saying something like this: “It is my turn to leave this world. Now I can return to a pleasurable world. Looking back over my life on this earth, I can say that I truly had a good life. Thank you so much. Even if I should die here and now, I am sat-isfied.” By giving thanks like this, you will drive them away. This is another method for dealing with the problem. The next time you experience a bad dream, I suggest that you try our some of the methods explained above. Also before going to bed, if you practice breathing with positive thinking and self-reflection, and giving thanks would make you sleep well.

Have you ever had bad dreams that can be truly frightening nightmares or feel that you are being tired down to your bed by restrains?If you have terrible nightmares, we can con-clude that in most cases you are stressed out and it attracts a bad spiritual influence. Also if you cannot sleep well, your mind that has some negative thoughts like worries, anxiet-ies, and fears for your future so on attracts negative energy.

Remedies for Sleep Paralysis and Spiritual Restraints

Breathing MethodsBreathing methods offer good approach. If you cannot move and there is nothing you can do about it, in order to regain your own spirit, you should try catching your breath.As you are lying down, try to breathe from the lower stomach area below the belly but-ton. The idea is to provide your body with fresh oxygen. Try breathing in, and if you are able to repeat this deep respiration several times over, strangely enough you will find that the evil spirits have parted from you. One of the secrets of this breathing method is that as you breathe, light will enter your body. When that happens, the negative influ-ences that are holding you down will let go. At that moment, you will be free. This is how to escape through the breathing method.



Giving ThanksNext, another method is giving thanks.One day is like a lifetime. If you live by this philosophy, then the end of each day corre-sponds to the end of your entire life. So you should give thanks by saying something like this: “It is my turn to leave this world. Now I can return to a pleasurable world. Looking back over my life on this earth, I can say that I truly had a good life. Thank you so much. Even if I should die here and now, I am sat-isfied.” By giving thanks like this, you will drive them away. This is another method for dealing with the problem.

The next time you experience a bad dream, I suggest that you try our some of the methods explained above. Also before going to bed, if you practice breathing with positive thinking and self-reflection, and giving thanks would make you sleep well.

Question from audience member:Is it right to be vegetarian?Is it wrong to eat meat?Answer from Master Ryuho Okawa:Ever since Plato, some western religions have presented the view that the spirit and the body are separate. They also believe that only hu-mans have souls, and that animals don’t. This belief has been predominant for quite a long time n the West. People who eat meat tend to believe that animals don’t have souls. However, people in Eastern cultures such as India believe that animals also have souls. Ancient Indian be-lief states that the soul alternately reincarnates between human bodies and animal bodies. In truth, human souls basically reincarnate only as humans. Nonetheless, animals also have souls, although they are less developed than human souls. They have souls that experi-ence different emotions, and feel delight, anger, sorrow, and pleasure. So I don’t think it is neces-sarily right to say that we can eat animals simply because they don’t have souls. Some may say, then, that we should all be-

come vegetarians. However, plants also have souls. Plants cannot move actively like animals, but if you videotape plants with a time-lapse camera, you’ll see that they are indeed moving, if only very slowly. They are alive. They rejoice when the rain falls after a hot day or when the sun shines after a continuous spell of cloudy weather. So even plants feel simple emotions such as delight and sorrow. Saying this, however, will only make it diffi cult for humans to live. You would not be able to eat either animals or plants. It would no longer be an issue of whether you should become a veg-etarian or not – you wouldn’t be able to eat any-thing at all. If you couldn’t eat anything at all and died, then God creating humans in this world would have no meaning. You’d have to survive by eating stones and rocks. In fact, minerals are also alive. They grow much slower than plants. Nevertheless they form crystals over millions and billions of years. They actually live for a very long period of time. Essentially, everything in this world is endowed with life. Cultural differences exist over what you eat

and don’t eat, but it does not make sense to use the existence of the soul, or the lack of it, as the criterion to judge whether you should eat some-thing or not. Humans are the most highly devel-oped souls among the life forms on Earth. We eat other animals and plants, and this may ap-pear to be a cruel thing to do. However, viewed from a different perspective, animals and plants are helping humans experience life and achieve spiritual growth. By offering themselves as nour-ishment, they are undergoing very noble soul training. Whether you are a vegetarian or not, it is im-portant that you give gratitude when you eat. You may feel the guilt of taking a life. But you can make up for it by having a heart full of grati-tude, and by living and working in a way that will make the loss of these creatures’ precious lives worthwhile. If the way you life can add worth to their taken lives by fi ve to ten times, I am sure they will be happy. I do not say whether it is right or wrong to be a vegetarian based on the existence or non-existence of souls. It requires many sacrifi ces to sustain human life. I believe that we can add value to these precious sacrifi ces through the efforts we make to create a better society.

Sandy Klein Seated as School Board ReorganizesBy Douglas E. Hall

Sandy Klein, who has served a PTO mother, was seated on the Board of Edu-cation, along with Cristina Stefan-Rackow, who is beginning a new term, as the board reorganized on Thursday, Jan. 3.

Ms. Klein succeeds Stephen Gross, who chose not to seek re-election. Mr. Gross was vice president last year. Board mem-ber Irene Pynn was named to that position. Ms. Klein, a resident of Edgewater for 14 years, worked on the fund raiser last year for the Apple Mac Lab in the Eleanor Van Gelder School. She campaigned last fall citing 20 years of business and marketing experience.

The Board will meet again on Thurs-day, Jan 24 to consider amending the Long Range Security Plan. This action follows a meeting Superintendent Dr. Lorraine Cella had with Police Chief William Skidmore shortly after the shooting of school chil-dren in Newtown, Conn. in December.

Following that meeting Dr. Cella and Chief Skidmore said they had discussed several possible steps to increase security at both of the district’s schools. No specif-ics were disclosed.

Beverly Place Park reno-vated, Wall Rebuilt By Douglas E. Hall

Renovation of the parkland and walkway that connects the dead-end street of Beverly Place with the stairway from Valley Place and Route 5 has been nearly completed.

The $123,000 renovation, which included the removal of three large, dead, ivy-covered trees, will include removal of two more dead trees, which are closest to the end of Bever-ly Place. The three that were removed were deemed to be the most severe hazard of falling in this park area. Borough Administrator Greg Franz said removal of the remaining trees was dependent upon scheduling this on a calm, non-windy day.

Further landscaping of the area will be done in the spring when a watering system will be installed. Tree removal was protested by some residents and others concerned with the nesting of the monk parakeets. An agree-ment was negotiated that permits the installa-tion of nesting structures in the area. Some residents complained that the work should have included using the original bluestone of the wall in its rebuilding. Instead stone-like block of a similar shade was used.

The work is being performed by Jim Got-thold Paving of Edgewater.

By Douglas E. HallCornucopia Cruises of Perth Amboy,

which operates fi ve dinner/wedding cruise boats in the Hudson River and New York Har-bor and part of the New Jersey shore area, is exploring the possibility of offering cruise services from the current location now oc-cupied by the deteriorating old railroad ferry, the Binghamton in the Marketplace Shopping Center on River Road.

Cornucopia owner Mustafa Kilic has al-ready discussed this idea with borough offi -cials and representatives of the Nelson Gross estate. The late Mr. Gross operated the Bing-hamton as a restaurant with dancing and live music for some 30 years until his kidnapping and murder in 1997. Three young men, in-cluding one who worked as a busboy on the Binghamton were charged and convicted of the crime against the businessman and poli-tician, who once served as a state assembly-man. Before killing Mr. Gross they forced him to withdraw $20,000 from his bank ac-

count. The three were sentenced to jail terms ranging from 17 to 30 years.

Cornucopia was established in 1998 as a dinner and wedding cruise liner. The business has grown to become one of the largest wed-ding, sight-seeing and dinner cruise compa-nies in the area. It now employs more than 100 workers, operating fi ve vessels, and offer-ing wedding cruises in the New York harbor as well as dinner, lunch, and brunch cruises in the inland waterways.

Mr. Kilic is now studying the costs of es-tablishing the Binghamton site as a departure location for his cruises. One stumbling block may be the acquisition of a liquor license in Edgewater. Shortly before the 2010 census the borough was hopeful of issuing an addi-tion liquor license, but the 2010 census left the town short of the a fi gure to grant it an addi-tional liquor license. The 2010 census counted 11,513 residents. The current population esti-mated by the Census Bureau is 12,107, but the state liquor law stipulates that the most recent census population fi gure must be used. That fi gure won’t change until the 2020 census. The law states that “. . .no (new) consumption license may be issued in a municipality unless and until the number of such licenses exist-ing in a community is fewer than one for each 3,000 of its population as shown in the last preceding federal census” (2010). Of course, Cornucopia could acquire the license from an existing business in Edgewater.

Dinner cruises coming to Edgewater? The World in Pieces continued from page 4pieces. I guess that’s supposed to be the clever thing about Lego, but I don’t get it! Why not make models that look like the thing as it is!

Presumably, the other clever thing about Legos is that they snap together very easily, but conversely, they break apart very easily too. You could spend hours putting the model together, and when you go to move it, the whole thing falls apart.

When you go to the Lego store (Can you imagine? there are actually stores that sell nothing but Lego pieces!) you can’t help but notice the whole store is designed to look like a giant Lego piece. They also have elaborate sets for people who are truly addicted to that pastime. Some of these sets have thousands of pieces to snap together, and directions that look like plans to a modern sky-scraper.

None of this stuff comes cheap by the way. Remember in the movie “The Grad-uate” when the guy gives advice to Dustin Hoffman’s about a career that would fi -nancially successful by saying ‘Plastics’? That guy was totally talking about Legos. Sadly, I am one of the people helping to enable the Lego empire take over the world by contributing to their fi nancial welfare – because my kids are mad for Lego sets.

Because of the fact that I am a dated old fossil from the last century, I can’t understand whatever happened to the models we used to build as kids. Alright, maybe we glued them together with stuff that was toxic brain-destroying poison when inhaled, but we had fun doing it. There were models of racing cars, jets, ships, movie monsters, well, you name it. The thing is, they actually looked like whatever it was they were little versions of.

Lego transforms the world into what it would look like if everything in the world including people were designed on graph paper. Everything Lego is the world in precise right angles and round pegs that fi t perfectly into the right holes. Lego is the building blocks of life right down to the DNA conceived as squares. This is why I hate Legos. Not because of the sharp little pieces left on the fl oor by my kids that I step on barefoot in the dark, (well, that too), but because I like the world and representations of it with irreg-ular shapes. I like the irregular shapes of a seashore, the less than precise an-gles of a mountain top, the asymmetrical perfection of a fl ower, and all the things about you and me that don’t reduce to little square pegs.

at getting perspective vendors to bid on the barge and disposal contract, the Borough was able to negotiate, as per New Jersey law, with vendors who were capable of providing the service. At the August 13th Council meeting, the Borough awarded a $726,000 contract with Donjon Marine Service of Hillside, New Jersey who will supply barges and process the dredged material for disposal. This contract is being paid for with a $742,996.50 Federal Emergency Management Agency Grant as a result of the March 13-14, 2010 nor’easter storm that resulted in damage and silting to the Edgewater Marina.VETERAN’S FIELD UPDATE

On Monday, June 18, the Mayor and Council awarded the remediation and restoration of Veteran’s Field to Waterside Construction of Edgewater, New Jersey for $7,069,075.88, of which approximately $1,721,240.62 already exists in New Jersey Green Acres and Bergen County Open Space funding awarded to the Borough, additional bids were received in excess of $14,000,000. The work will commence on the fi ve identifi ed areas where soil is to be removed. Once this task is completed

the contractor will move to the Little League fi eld to begin the remediation

and restoration. Air monitoring equipment will be installed throughout the facility, noise and dust is expected and we will make every effort to minimize this inconvenience.
