League available for challenged youths

The Challenger Division o f Little League Baseball was formed to ac­commodate the needs o f physically, mentally and emotionally challenged youths who otherwise are excluded from participating in organized base­ball

A number o f area towns have teams participating in this program. The host towns include Saddle Brook, Clifton, River Edge, Union aad Lyndhurst

A youth does not need to be a resi­dent o f a host town to participate.

I f any area resident has a child who may be interested in becoming a mem­ber o f the team based in Lyndhurst, contact the Lyndhurst Parks Depen­d e n t t t 250 Cleveland Avenue by call- i t* (201-804-2482) for more informa­tion.

The Eight O Clock WhistleGrowing up in Lyndhurst in the

la te th irties a nd early forties, a nightly phenom enon occurred. At eight o ’clock sharp, the whistle atop the town hall would give out three sharp blasts signaling the town's children to stop what they were do­ing a nd head fo r home. Baseball bats would be thrown down, jum p ropes wound up and participants in the nightly game o f hide and seek w ou ld em erge fro m their hiding places and jo in the exodus o f chil­dren heeding the call o f the eight o ’clock whistle.The whistle blasted out its message in such a manner that no one could claim that he or she hadn t heard it The whistle had been donated to the town by Leslie Co. a local manufac­turer who produced fo g horns fo r sea-going vessels. Whenever I heard its eerie sound, I imagined sea-gulls circling around fog-shrouded ships a ttem p tin g to m ake th e ir way through treacherous channels.

The whistle blew its eight o clock

curfew all year round. In the winter.

when / w a s already in m y pajamas and read}' fo r bed, it d idn 't have quite the dramatic effect as in the summertime. The whistle also served as a fire alarm whose scary sound startled me awake in the middle o f the night causing me to tremble in fear. But, most o f all, I remember the hot summer nights, when thanks to day'light saving time, it was not \yet dark and our hours o f carefree play were extended fa r more than normal.

When the eight o 'clock whistle blew, I d realize that another day was drawing to an end. Dragging my feet a little, I d cut across the fields to­ward home. The mosquitoes followed me like a horde o f dive bombers, gathering into form ation fo r an at­tack on my bare arms and legs. They served as further incentive to me. to propel m y reluctant s e l f into the oven-like interior o f the house.

The eight o clock whistle o f my childhood still lingers in my mind. I can still recall the sense o f security' brought about by the unchanging ritual o f the eight o clock whistle shattering the silence o f a hot sum­mer night, and signaling the end o f ye t another day

Bill Gormley is the right man for the jobTo the Editor,

New Jeney has suffered some o f the w o n t representation in Washing­ton o f any state in the Union. We have had weak and unimaginative senators and congressmen, few o f whom did much for the state. Maybe that’s why New Jeney ranks 50th out o f SO states in the amount o f money we get back from the federal government. We send wheel barrows o f tax money to Wash­ington and get back a thimble full in the way o f grants and aid.

The only bright spot to all this is that Senator Frank Lautenberg h a s

decided not to seek reelection .T h a n k

mental interference in parenting in New Jer­sey, with little good to show for it. Thera are many teachers, police and other officials tell­ing parents what to do without offering any help.

Before criminalizing parental conduct, the state should be doing more to make parenting easier. If New Jersey wants to be a leader in improving parenting, it should have the cour­age to make for reaching reforms that will give parents the one thing they lack - more control over their kids and more time with them. The legislature can start by reducing marketing to children. Kids are barraged with constant me­dia message to want more of this, to take more of that, to go to extremes. Those messagea un­dermine parental authority and a national movement must be started to correct the prob­lem. Let it start in New Jersey.

For all of America’s talk about supporting the “family” isn’t it odd that the tax deduction given parents for children lags for behind other tax code deductions - including corporate tax breaks. If parenting is to be honored, lets start by reflecting that in the tax code and increaae the child deduction to where it should be, thereby giving parents more of their own money to do the job society expects them to do. Parents also need more fM Qfety In their work schedules. More parents should be per­mitted to work part of the week from home, and government and industry can help.

County Exec should veto BCUA planTo the Editor.

Apparently the deliberations are winding dow n.... last week the Bergen County Utilities Authority passed a resolution to commence negotiating a deal with NYC that will bring 3,000 tons o f garbage (far more than initially purported) daily into North Arlington, New Jeney! Fortunately the final de­cision will rest with the County E x ­

ec u tiv e . I t ’s been said tha t Pat Schuber is “not leaning either way’’ and will need to know the number o f trucks, length o f the contract and the financial benefit to the BCUA before making his decision.

Can the figures that are being ban­died about be that soft!

The proposal calls for 500 trucks, carrying approximately 3,000 tons o f garbage, coming into New Jersey from New York City daily. The trucks will travel here via GWB as well as thej Lincoln and Holland Tunnels, along] our highw ays and local thorough-1 fares, ultimately making their way to North Arlington. Upon reaching the Transfer Station they will dump their

This letter is in response to an edi­to rial concern ing NYC dum ping Queens borough garbage in our mead- owlands.

True there is a great debt incurred b y the BCUA, but this w asn’t the county's fruit. The BCUA was follow­ing state mandates for counties to tackle their own garbage disposal.B a n « County went ahead with its plan white some counties hesitated.

' t h e Carbone out'Disagrees with Silva’s recent column decision that towns could dump

This condition must be dealt with concern for the environm ent and health and safety o f residents who use our recreation areas. Contrary to the editorial, these trucks will be on Val­ley Brook Avenue which, when past Chubb Avenue, is narrow and full o f joggers and children going to the ballfields.

Also, Queens, N .Y . , was worst hit with mosquito borne diseases. These

A the Editor • I recently read a copy of Philip

Siva’s column “Where Kids Belong Ma Matter of Debate” and I am truly appalled, both as a parent and as an

would offer his own relatives who are minas, s cigarette, a gun, a buckst of quarters for the slots and s Playboy

> I find it puzzling how Mr. Silva can accuse you, a follow columnist, of ’‘.Commenting on the disposition of Anerican social standards" when ths« iJao clearly not what your column *as about. Children should not be edposed to many social situations. I’m sjre that the Bureau of Alcohol To­bacco and Firearms would agree ada- rapntly. Mr. Silva has the presump­tion to suggest that children should« exposed to “every aspect of theirculture” and should lesrn from adults i(J“every social setting.” This would live to include sambling and pomog-rs}*y as well then wouldn’t it? Ifind¡•¡difficult to believe that Mr. Silva

Perhaps Mr. Silva would ertfoy in­stalling picture windows in sll ths top­less ban in America so that we can ALL be exposed to that aspect of our culture? Maybe hs should invits s local toddler out for s six pack sod tsks the little tyke off to a shooting range. Possibly, ths children of Mr. Silvs's “extsnded community” would enjoys good bachelor or bachalomte patty or two. Mr. Silva could go along to explain folly the knportanos of this particular custom in society. There are LAWS that govern thie type of behavior that ara integral to the sur­vival of the very children Mr. Silvs wants us to expoee ALL of our cul­ture to. They are there to protect our children! Mr. Silva would benefit enor­

mously from an educatioa on what the United Ststes Oovemmsnt mskss laws for. InMesdofiealizing the point you msds sbout the Isgality snd safety of the children being in the bar thst night, Mr. Silva goea off on a wild tan­gent, babbling about tribal cultures and how wsll ths children are ad­justed because nothing is “tucked away in taboo-land”! I suggsst thst if Mr. Silvs is such a An ofthsss tribal cultures, he should go snd live in one. He seems much bettsr suited to com­ment in thst srea anyhow.

Mr. Call, 1 have been s fan of youn for a long time. I have found your opinions insightful snd your anec­dotes smusing. I sm sorry you have to have a co-worker who is so reac­tionary. You keep up the good workl

A b a n d o n e d la n d m u s t b e d e v e lo p e d w i s e l yTo the Editor Thera Is a tract of land ln Esst Ruth-

srford thst now lies dormant snd unutilized. The Becton-Dickinson plant once stood on the land. It Is now empty; the main building long since tom down, the landmark clock ra-

A shadow now lies across the land. For As ftiturs use of this Isnd is now being discussed. Its use debated. The use of this lend can have either a poei- tive or a trsmsndous negative effect on ths lives of local and county real-

If the Becton-Dickinson Company chooses to sell the land for commer­cial or industrial development, it will have only a negative effect on the srea. It will bs the next sets of deser-

tion snd destruction o f the town they called home. A town whose residents helped create the company that ex­ists today. A town they abandoned for the patk-like affluence they enjoy today.

Commercial development o f the property would degrade our area with increased traffic, noise, pollution and congestion. Traffic would be snarled on Hackensack Street, small local businesses destroyed, potential rec­reation sites lost, the local high school adversely effected

If B-D would work with the local Borough M ayor and Council, the school board and other private and public individuals many positive ben­efit» emerge.

The local high school could gain needed space to support currant, ex­

panded educational, and sports pro­gram s. The senior citizens living across the street would have leisure and recreational possibilities. The child daycare center and local residen­tial children would have a safe and convenient place to play. In addition, the local citizens would benefit from new parkland.

It is time for positive action to take place. Becton-Dickinson and the com­munity woricing together can make it happen. Let the people o f the mead- owlands area raise their voices and let government and business leaden know that the citizens will have a say in their futures.
