Kristina de Mora a junior at RHS and  Miss Bergen County Teen Ambassador Promotes Autism Awareness 
November 12,2014 

Ridgewood NJ, Kristina de Mora a junior at Ridgewood High School teamed up with Baked in the Cup of Ramsey to promote autism awareness. 

Kristina said  ,”So proud to promote autism awareness by collaborating with Madhuri Premnath, owner of Baked in a Cup, a gourmet cupcake shop in Ramsey! “
Kristina said on Facebook, ” We have worked hand-in-hand to create a special cupcake flavor called “The Alpine” to be featured in the shop. A portion of every cupcake sold will be donated to Alpine Learning Group, a New Jersey Department of Education approved school for children and adults on the autistic spectrum in Paramus where I have enjoyed volunteering. We launched our official campaign this past Saturday, September 27th, at Baked in a Cup. Chantelle Walker, Director of Development from Alpine Learning Group and Zack, a student from the school, were also in attendance.”

Smoked salmon is this chef’s niche

Smoked salmon is this chef’s niche

JULY 20, 2014    LAST UPDATED: SUNDAY, JULY 20, 2014, 1:43 PM
BY ELISA UNG
RECORD COLUMNIST
THE RECORD

This summer, we’ll be spotlighting locally produced foods and drinks that have caught the attention of North Jersey’s chefs, bartenders and other tastemakers.

Where it’s on the menu

Moveable Feast provided this list of the local restaurants, caterers and clubs that serve its smoked salmon and other fish:

Alpine Country Club

Bareli’s, Secaucus

Bottagra, Hawthorne

Chakra, Paramus

Chef’s Table, Franklin Lakes

Fiesta Banquet, Wood-Ridge

The Elan, Lodi

The Graycliff, Moonachie

Latour, Ridgewood

Le Jardin, Edgewater

The Park Steakhouse, Park Ridge

Park West Tavern, Ridgewood

Rudy’s Inflight Catering, Teterboro

Village Green, Ridgewood


Alain Quirin has always been intrigued by how fresh-from-the-sea salmon can be transformed into the thin, silky, smoky slices that are twirled into canapés and draped onto buffet trays.

When the French-born chef ran the kitchen at the Greenwich Village restaurant Raoul’s, he often could be found spending afternoons on an outdoor terrace, tending to a few fillets of salmon in a small smoker, which he piled with ice to keep it from getting too hot.

“It was kind of like a game for me,” Quirin said. “It was interesting to go from A to Z on something that normally you just open a package.”

And eventually, he and his wife, Denise, turned that game into a family business. Their Moveable Feast, whose headquarters is in a Moonachie industrial complex, cold-smokes 5,000 pounds of buttery salmon a week, and customers say its quality is unrivaled.

“It’s just so much fresher,” said Chris Waters, executive chef of The Elan catering hall in Lodi, who serves platters of smoked salmon and also uses it in an avocado salad with apples and red onion. “You can smell the smoke as soon as you open the package. It takes over the room. People turn their heads.”

At Village Green in Ridgewood, chef-owner Kevin Portscher layers the salmon over warm potato pancakes, garnished with onions, capers and dill crème fraîche. “I couldn’t make it better myself — that’s why I buy it from him,” Portscher said. “There’s no chemicals, no crazy flavors. It’s fish, salt, hickory smoke. That’s the way they’ve been doing it for hundreds of years.”

Adds another Ridgewood chef, Michael Latour, who occasionally uses the fish in specials: “Some salmon can be a little too slimy. His technique is drier.”

New figures break down New Jersey’s school costs by district

MAY 9, 2014, 6:06 PM    LAST UPDATED: FRIDAY, MAY 9, 2014, 6:31 PM
BY HANNAN ADELY
STAFF WRITER
THE RECORD

New Jersey districts spent an average of $18,891 per pupil in 2012-13, up 4.8 percent from the year before, according to figures released Friday by the state Department of Education.

By the Numbers:

Spending per pupil by school district in the counties of Bergen and Passaic in 2012-13

Top 10

Bergen County Special Service$93,953
Bergen County Vocational   $33,685
Moonachie$28,733
Alpine        $27,459
Carlstadt-East Rutherford$25,994
Passaic County Vocational$25,003
Hackensack$24,046
Teaneck$24,019
Saddle Brook$23,708
Pascack Valley Regional$23,472

Bottom 10

Prospect Park$15,237
Hasbrouck Heights$15,127
River Edge$15,076
Little Ferry$14,916
John P. Holland Charter$14,815
Elmwood Park$14,543
Fairview$14,030
Bergen Arts & Science Charter$13,822
Passaic Arts & Science Charter$12,288
Classical Academy Charter$8,440
   
Among regular districts in the counties of Bergen and Passaic, total per-pupil spending ranged from a high of $28,733 in Moonachie to $14,030 in Fairview.

Three charter school districts had the least spending per student, including the Classical Academy Charter School which spent $8,440 per student and the Passaic Arts and Science Charter School, which spent $12,288. Spending is lower in part because charter schools receive no facilities aid. 

The Bergen County Special Services district, which serves severely disabled children, spends $93,953.

Of the 103 regular and charter districts in Bergen and Passaic, 19 saw their per pupil costs drop, while figures rose in the other 84.

N.J. schools to try out new standardized test

rorsach1

N.J. schools to try out new standardized test

Seventy percent of New Jersey’s school districts and charter schools have volunteered to take part in field testing this spring for the new state tests from PARCC — the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers.

Fifty-seven districts in Bergen County and 17 in Passaic County will participate, ranging from small, affluent suburbs such as Alpine to large cities struggling with poverty such as Paterson and Passaic.

The state Department of Education said there would be no consequences for students, teachers or schools in the trial run of the new online tests for math and English. The 19-state partnership is developing the tests, coming in spring 2015, to reflect the goals of the Common Core, a voluntary set of national standards that aim to add clarity and rigor to what children learn in each grade.

District officials have said they want to participate in the dry run of the online tests to make sure their technology works. Some parents, however, have complained that students who take the field test will spend excessive time in assessments because they will also have to take the current regimen, the New Jersey Assessment of Skills and Knowledge. State officials countered that students taking the PARCC field test in March or May will take only a portion of it, and only one or two classrooms in each school will participate. (Brody/The Record)

Village Green chef Kevin Portscher dishes on his favorites
Wednesday, October 23, 2013    Last updated: Wednesday October 23, 2013, 10:56 AM
The Record

Position: Chef/owner.

Kevin Portscher, Village Green Restaurant in Ridgewood

Favorite dish to cook: My favorite dish at the moment is gnudi. It’s like a ravioli without the dough.

Favorite dish to eat: Anything with pig in it.

Culinary hero: Nick Gatti, executive chef of Alpine Country Club. Out of all the chefs I’ve worked with, and I’ve worked with many, he was the one that really helped to mold me to where I am today.

Best cookbooks: “A Girl and Her Pig: Recipes and Stories” by April Bloomfield with JJ Goode, and “Momofuku” by David Chang and Peter Meehan.

Best cooking show: As a chef, the last thing I want to watch is a cooking show. I don’t want to sit there and watch Food Network.

After mine, best local restaurant: Wondee’s Fine Thai Food & Noodles in Hackensack. It’s just always fresh and it’s cheap and it’s fast and it’s authentic.

Cooking show I’d like to be on: The Chew. [Otherwise, he said, he doesn’t even know what’s out there these days.]

Advice for diners in my restaurant: Put on something comfortable; grab a nice bottle of wine.

Three North Jersey men — including a career burglar with ties to the James Bond Gang — were arrested early Friday after an 11-month investigation into more than 40 burglaries committed in at least five states, authorities said.

Daniel “Tokyo” Gatson, 41, of North Bergen; Curtis Dent, 34, of Roselle; and Mark Gonzalez, 31, of East Orange were charged with multiple counts of conspiracy and transportation of stolen goods in interstate commerce related to the residential burglaries, which stretched from Georgia to Long Island in the past year, authorities said.

Investigators believe the defendants were responsible for “in excess of a $1 million worth of stolen proceeds, cash and jewelry,” said Steven Cucciniello, chief of detectives for the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office.

The Prosecutor’s Office launched the investigation in December 2012, bringing in police departments in Bergen County, Georgia, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia as well as the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the FBI.

Ridgewood July 4th Flag Raising Will be Special

Each year the Ridgewood Fourth of July Celebration begins with a flag raising ceremony.  It is the one part of the celebration that has always taken place even when the parade or fireworks did not.  This year the flag raising ceremony will take place at 9am at the flag pole at Wilsey Square near the westside train station.

The schedule for the flag raising is as follows:

Welcome by a Celebration Committee Member

Speech by a Village Council Member

Recognition of the Grand Marshals and Special Guests

Reading of the Declaration of Independence by a member of NJ Militia Heard’s Brigade

Flag raising by American Post 53, and Boy Scouts

“To the Colors” played by Dan Literati RHS Junior

Chester, Our National Anthem before “The Star Spangled Banner” performed by Heard’s Brigade

“The Star Spangled Banner” sung by Jodi DiPiazza

We are honored to have descendants of signers of the Declaration of independence as our Grand Marshals.  The Bartlett Family, descendants of Josiah Bartlett (Father’s side) and Benjamin Harrison (Mother’s side).  Thornton “Thorny” Lockhart is a descendant of Declaration signer Josiah Bartlett, and a first cousin, eight times removed, of Benjamin Franklin.

Our Special Guests are The Ridgewood College Club.  They are celebrating their 100th anniversary.  College Club of Ridgewood, founded in 1913, is a non-profit organization that provides educational opportunities for young women through a variety of needs-based grants and interest-free loans. Men are eligible at the graduate level.

We are thrilled to have a member of Heard’s Brigade join us to read the Declaration of Independence.  Heard’s Brigade is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public about the role of the Organized and Irregular companies of New Jersey Militia during the American Revolutionary War. They participate in battle re-enactments and living history displays to portray 18th century military and civilian life. Heard’s Brigade strives to always continue their research efforts to provide the most accurate impressions they can.

This year we welcome two gentlemen who were among the three boy scouts chosen from Troop 10 to raise the first flag on Veterans’ Field on July 4, 1951.  They are both graduates of RHS, class of 1955.Troop 10 was a segregated troop for African-Americans.

Dan Literati is entering his Junior year at Ridgewood High School. He is heavily involved in the RHS Music Program, participating in almost every aspect of the program. Dan’s participation includes performing with the RHS Concert Band, Marching Band and the Jazz Lab Band. Dan has been playing the trumpet since his 5th grade year at Ridge Elementary School and continues to study with a private instructor to further his musical abilities. In addition to all of his musical activities, Dan also participates on the RHS Swim team and was just recently named an Eagle Scout.

Jodi DiPiazza began improvising piano at age 4 and starting taking lessons at age 7.  In 2010 Jodi wrote and performed a song “Heroes of Autism” for Toys R Us to be used in conjunction with a fundraiser for Autism Speaks. This campaign raised over $3,000,000.   Jodi is a two time finalist in The ASCAP Foundation Morton Gould Young Composer Awards.  You may remember in October 2012 when Jodi performed a duet with Katy Perry for the autism benefit “The Night of Too Many Stars” at the Beacon Theatre in NYC, it was televised on Comedy Central and over $4,000,000 were raised for autism education.  Jodi is currently a 4th grade student at the Midland School in Rochelle Park and the Alpine Learning Group in Paramus NJ.

Keller Williams RED day
May 10,2013

It a great RED day at Keller Williams. Over 200 agents in our office participated in KW’s RED Day to volunteer.

One day every year all 700+ Keller Williams offices shut down and agents and staff spend the entire day giving back to the community. This photogenic group of folks from Keller Williams Ridgewood and Pascack Valley will be painting rooms and planting flowers at West Bergen Mental Healthcare, Inc., planting a garden at a school for Autistic children ( Reed Academy) and setting up a huge fundraising event for the Alpine Learning Group. I am proud to be associated with so many caring and selfless people. — with Patricia Hoyos- Hardeway, Randy Douglass, Ray Friedman and 47 others.
