H urricane Sandy blew in Oct 29th, depriving us here in Hudson of our annual Halloween celebrations. No Halloween parade in New York City; no costume parties — Sandy took out all the fun we have dressing up as crazy characters.

con’t pg. 2

Now that we’re getting back to normal – well almost – fun is in abundance and there’s no better way to sprout some smiles than to see a show. We’re right across the river from Broadway and Off-Broadway – the creme de la creme of live theater – and here in Hudson, one show at a local restaurant encourages audience members to come dressed in costume. Now that’s fun!

We get so much from them. That’s what makes this something truly special.” When guests arrive at Sanai’s their entrance is announced by one of the show’s characters and everyone applauds. Compton says: “How often have you walked into a room of strangers and had people applaud?” During the three course

A Murder Mystery and Dinner, Too!

Consider this. You’ve made reservations at Sanai’s restaurant in Jersey City and you’re all dressed up for a night on the town. When you arrive at the Summit Avenue restaurant, you’re greeted by a cast of characters whose names are as outrageous as their behavior: “Reginald Butterbuns,” “General Motors,” “Rita Book” and “Detective Peter Ness” (any relation to crime-stopper Eliot Ness?) – are just some of the crazy characters you’ll meet when you attend Murder at the Masquerade an interactive murder mystery performed live at Sanai’s where every dinner guest is a murder suspect.

The Murder Mystery Company, Compton’s brainchild, has been in operation for ten years and the shows are performed in 16 different venues through the U.S. There’s also one on Long Island.“It’s a costume party,” Compton says. “People love to dress up. It’s like Halloween all the time.”Sanai’s restaurant is housed in one of the oldest buildings in Jersey City, a two-story Dutch Colonial that dates back to 1690, when locals knew it as the Blue Point Tavern. Its current owner, L. Terry Dehere is a former member of the NBA; and Vice President of the Jersey City School Board.

times during the show, the beautiful mermaids with bright blue hair brought kids from the audience right up on stage to dance and interact with them. “We took L. Frank Baum’s wonderful story The Sea Fairies and we ‘Gleeafied’ it,” Dyville says. “It’s like Oz meets Glee.” The show is a sell-out on Saturdays and A Mermaid’s Tale is eligible for an Off-Broadway Theater Alliance award – a big deal in NYC. “In all the years I’ve been writing plays, this is the most talented cast I’ve ever had,” Dyville, who also directed, says. “This cast really loves working with kids.”

Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade kicks off the holiday season on Thursday, Nov. 22nd and there are lots of holiday musicals for the kids in New York City including Annie and A Christmas Story on Broadway and How the Grinch Stole Christmas at

Blue Mermaids Singing and Dancing!

A Mermaid’s Tale, the musical based on L. Frank Baum’s classic novel The Sea Fairies is an entertaining and engaging musical for kids that features beautiful mermaids who take audience members on an adventure under the sea. A Mermaid’s Tale is adapted from Baum’s novel penned the year following his success with The Wizard of Oz. It’s set in a school auditorium where students decide to turn their book reports into a musical just like the popular TV show, “GLEE”. A Mermaid’s Tale was written by Jack Dyville of Guttenberg and John Stutte. David Gillam Fuller, also of Guttenberg, wrote additional lyrics. It’s performed by an extremely energetic cast with beautiful singing voices on Saturdays at Stage 72 in Manhattan. At a recent performance, the theater was filled with children who were totally hooked on the story. Several

Madison Square Garden. Here in Hudson, the Mile Square Theatre in Hoboken presents its own Christmas spectacular, It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play by Joe Landry where five actors play a huge cast of characters – and all the sound effects – in this holiday tale about measuring the worth of a man (and woman) not by his wealth, but by his friends and those who love him. Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed starred in the Frank Capra film classic and now audiences can enjoy the show live on stage. Many of us have seen the film so many times we can recite the lines by heart. Still, it’s a classic and a heart-warmer for anyone who still believes in the magic of Christmas and can melt at the words of little Zuzu who reminds us that every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings. So, let’s leave the bah-humbugging for Hurricane Sandy and go out and see some live theater where angels need us to get their wings, blue mermaids sing

Hudson Then...Again 1903 New Jersey Vagabond Hurricane

By Maureen Wlodarczyk

As I am writing this, my power has been restored (twice) and I count myself among the fortunate who endured nothing worse than a week or so of cold, dark nights and cold morning showers in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. My husband is a managing engineer and storm response team leader for my local electric company and has been working 16-hour days assessing damage and coor-dinating restoration efforts. The road back, literally and figuratively, is underway. For the next few minutes, let me take you back more than a century ago to an-other time when a wayward, willful storm made landfall in New Jersey and did not spare Hudson County. In September 1903, the so-called “Vagabond” hur-ricane meandered on a west/northwest track originating in the area of Antigua, pass-ing south of Bermuda and then curving northward and

heading for Atlantic City.It made landfall there with estimated winds of 80 mph. Fishing piers and ocean pavilions in Atlantic City were damaged or destroyed, wires went down all along the N.J. coastline, and dam-age reports were provided via observations made using trains. In Hudson County, local newspapers reported the severe, widespread property damage resulting from the hurricane’s high-velocity winds and driving rain.

According to those reports, “school children were blown about the streets, women were thrown off their feet, trolley car traffic was suspended, buildings were unroofed, and streets were turned into raging tor-rents.” Trees and wires were “blown down” and boats along the New York Bay shore-front were pushed up on land and “reduced to kindling wood.” At the City Hospital in Jersey City, havoc ensued as the dispensary was flooded,

the sewer backed up and patients were drenched as the wind-driven rain got into the “ramshackle” buildings from “a thousand openings” around windows and in theroof. Unable to abate the flooding in any other way,

hospital management in-structed staff to bore holes in the wooden floor to allow the water to escape. The Hudson County Court House suffered considerable damage with flooded court-rooms, broken skylights, and large trees downed as did City Halls in both Bayonne and Jersey City. The Oakley Baseball Club’s grandstand on Ninth Street near Brunswick Street in Jersey City, newly-built to seat 1,000 spectators, was demolished to a “pile of lumber.” A two-story frame house at 59 Terrace Avenue in Jersey City was lifted from its foundation and “sailed through the air for a distance of ten feet” before landing in a neighbor’s yard. Mrs. John Ryan, Mrs. Frank Ken-nedy, and 8 children were in the house at the time and other than being somewhat in shock, survived the inci-dent unscathed. On Ravine Road, storm sewers were overwhelmed and the

Downtown Jersey City circa 1903

accumulating waters thrust manhole covers aside as geysers sprouted in their place. Among the parallels between the Vagabond and Sandy were the loss of elec-tricity and massive disrup-tion to public transportation. In 1903, the Hudson County press reported on “snapped electric wires” and lineman out on the streets reconnect-ing wires immediately after the gale-force winds sub-sided. The power company plant at Wayne and Fremont Streets in Jersey City had been knocked out by flooding but was restored

to operation quickly due to “energetic” efforts by the plant superintendent. Trolley service, an essential mode of public transporta-tion, was crippled as wires came down. Rushing water derailed cars and left pas-sengers standing on their seats as the trolleys were stranded on flooded streets. Then, as now, as soon as the immediate danger from the storm had passed, restoration and recovery efforts were quickly under-way. Amid all the bad news being reported, one Hudson County newspaper, quoting the maxim “it is an ill

wind that blows no good,” observed that painters, glaziers, wallpaper hangers and plasterers would “reap profits” as a result of the storm. Talk about cock-eyed optimism!

Marist High School’s Scholars and Athletes Raise Over $800 for Breast Cancer Research!

Marist High School’s National Honor Society at-tended the “Making Strides against Breast Cancer” walk in Lincoln Park, Jersey City on October 21, 2012. In attendance were 6 National Honor Society Members (NHS ), Erica Gusick, vice president, Armina Figueras, Fangling He, Sylvia Riley, Kristine Watco, Samantha Llanes, along with Marist alum Daryl Domo and NHS co-moderator Maria Sorbara. These NHS members decided to attend the walk and host a bake sale to raise additional funds. They raised $120 from the bake sale. Combined with their personal contributions of $150, a total of $270 was donated. It was a great day with perfect weather, good company, and a lot of spirit. Maria Sorbara states,“I couldn’t be happier that these girls took the initiative to raise awareness and fight breast cancer.”

This year students walked for Anna Williams, of Neptune City, NJ who was diagnosed with breast cancer in August of this year. Anna is a dear friend of Marist High School faculty member Erica Buonacquista.The NHS was not the onlystudent group at Marist that took an interest in raising awareness and funds for breast cancer research. Marist High School’s Girl’s Volleyball Team, under the leadership of their coach, Marist faculty member Jeremy Kay, sold pink ribbons to raise $613 that they will donate to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. In total, the students at Marist raised $883 to fund breast cancer research.

The art of lighting: How to add design and function to your bathroom

(BPT) - - A bathroom remodel is one of the most-desired home updates; it changes the way you start and end your day and also touts a high return on invest-ment. Most homeowners focus on a new vanity, sink, tub or toilet. But one of the most-often-overlooked - yet important - parts of bath de-sign is the lighting. Lighting not only affects the ambi-ance of the room, but also the functionality. Location, location, location A single overhead light directly over the mirror can cause lots of shadows on the face. The same is true for vertical mirror lights too far from one another, which makes it difficult to do com-mon tasks such as shav-ing or applying makeup. Instead, couple overhead lighting with a vertical light source on either side of the mirror for even lighting across the face.

Task lighting options If you already have an over-head light source, consider adding vertical task light-ing. Robern Modular Lights have a neutral design that works with virtually any cabinet style or bath de-cor. Energy-efficient, eco-friendly fluorescent bulbs duplicate natural light and last longer than incandes-cent bulbs. Another great task lighting option for around mirrors and vanities is Robern Uplift Lights. These lights are available in a pendant and sconce design and feature a built-in night-light that is operated by a second wall switch.

Lighting not only affects the ambiance of the room,

but also the functionality.

The Bayonne High School Drama Society invites you to their latest hit musical production “How to Succeed in Business With-out Really Trying!”How to Succeed tells the story of young window-washer J. Pierrepont Finch (played by Junior Nicholas D’Amato), who begins a meteoric rise from the mail room to Vice President of Advertising at the World-Wide Wicket Company thanks to a self-help book and some unorthodox (and morally questionable) busi-ness tactics. As Finch rises on the career ladder, his methods jeopardize not only his career, but also his ro-mance with Secretary Rose-mary Pilkington (played by Junior Amanda Rosati). How to Succeed is a delightful musical satire of corpo-rate life and office politics, packed with memorable

restaurant VIEWS -Bella Sorrellas Italian Cuisine served with a Whole Lotta LoveBy Sally Deering Bayonne has its share of Italian restaurants and Bella Sorrellas on the corner of 50th Street and Broadway, stands out from the crowd with a menu of classic Italian dishes served with a home-style flair. Owner David Rivera opened Bella Sorrellas three years ago where the old Welcome Inn used to be. The son of Ana and Demetrio “Lu-men” Rivera, David grew up watching his father run his Jersey City restaurants: The Seagulls Bar & Grill on Communipaw Ave; The Old San Juan on Jersey Ave; and The Fan Bar on Grove – and he knew early on he wanted to be a restaurateur like his dad. “I was about 5 and my father picked me up at school and took me to his restaurant, The Seagulls,”Rivera recalls. “I went be-hind the bar and started

cleaning the glasses. He asked me what I was do-ing and I said, ‘I want to be like you’ and he hugged me and said ‘One day you will.’ Since I was 16 I worked with him after school and through college.” Rivera worked ten years as transportation supervisor for Christ Hospital in Jersey City and decided he wanted to go back to the restaurant business. “There was something empty in my heart,” he says. “My father’s philosophy was ‘make sure the custom-er is fed well and feels at home’. He was in the busi-ness over 30 years. Every-body loved my father and I wanted to be like that. ” Rivera followed in father’s footsteps and Bella Sorrellas (which is Italian for “beautiful sisters” and named for his daughters Analexa, 18, and Isabel, 5) is a cozy corner bistro with an extensive Italian menu.

The star of the show – as always – is the food and Rivera works closely with Chef Leo Compi (formerly of Just Sonny’s) a friend for more than 10 years. “We always wanted to work together,” Rivera says. “I always liked the way Leo cooked at Just Sonny’s and when they closed (the owner, Fortunato retired,) Leo came here. We have the same passion about food. He loves what he does the way I do.” Bella Sorrellas serves Soups, Appetizers, Salads, Pastas, Chicken, Veal, Steaks and Seafood dishes and the menu fea-tures a delicious Pasta Fagioli soup ($5.95); a Crispy Fried Calamari ap-petizer served with a hearty, perfectly seasoned red sauce ($10.95); and a very tasty Chicken Scarpariello entrée served with sausage, mush-rooms and garlic in a lemon white wine sauce ($17.95).

The meat is fresh. I refuse to serve anything frozen.” During a busy afternoon, Rivera greeted every customer who walked through the door with a smile After three years in the restaurant business his passion for his restaurant has not waned. “I love this business,” Rivera says. “I saw how hard my parents worked to make their businesses suc-cessful and I know I wanted to do exactly what they did. Interacting with the custom-ers and seeing how much they enjoy the food – I love it all.”

Stay Warm This Winter: Home Heating Tips for TrickySpaces

(BPT) - - When cold winds blow, it can be tricky to keep different rooms throughout your home at the right temperature. Yet there are easy and flexible ways to heat your home in areas where it needs it most and still stay comfortable all winter long.

Go ductless with room-by-room heating

A ductless heating system can provide comfort where you want it, when you want it. For example, American Standard Heating & Air Conditioning offers duct-less split systems that can be retrofitted to a house that has no ductwork, or if the central heating system is already at capacity.

Add warmth with a gas stove or fireplace

Another option to consider is an individual heating unit, such as a gas stove. This can be a great solution for a hard-to-heat space, such as a porch converted to a year-round room.

Keep hot air inand cold air out

If you can’t replace your windows with more energy-efficient ones, improve the performance of the ones you have. Some ideas from the U.S. Department of Energy include using a heavy duty clear plastic sheet on a frame or taping clear plastic from the inside of the win-dow to reduce drafts.
