THE RECORD
Hackensack University Medical Center formally applied for state permission Wednesday to reopen Pascack Valley Hospital in Westwood as a 128-bed full-service community hospital. If approved, the for-profit hospital would open late next year.
The Westwood hospital closed due to bankruptcy in November 2007.
The new plan aims to address the state’s looming physician shortage as well as provide patient care to the northeastern part of Bergen County, which has been underserved since Pascack closed due to bankruptcy in November 2007, said Robert C. Garrett, Hackensack’s president and chief executive officer.
The application is “the next phase of restoring much needed healthcare services to the Pascack Valley and Northern Valley,” Garrett said.
Although a final decision on the application is not expected until November, Hackensack’s joint-venture partner appears confident enough of the application’s success to have named a chief executive officer for the new facility.
>Classroom grading is an attack on students
It can hardly be denied that there are factors outside a student’s control that might affect his grades. How smart he is, how much his parents support education, how nutritious the food in his home is, and how much his older brother distracts him with PlayStation 3.
Some parents might put on SportsCenter at 11pm Eastern time. Others don’t. It’s hardly a level playing field.
Since a student has no control over these kinds of things, and since some students face a lot more of these obstacles than others, grading simply isn’t fair. Why should I get a better grade than you just because my home life makes it easier for me to perform? And as we’ve learned from teachers’ unions, it’s better to have no evaluation system than one that could be unfair.
There’s another reason too. It’s an ugly one: favoritism. We all know the teacher’s pet is likely to get a good grade, while the charmless face a much tougher slog. That’s not fair either.

>Many turn out at rally to end NJ’s participation in regional cap and trade agreement
Scores of residents were out in force last week at Chris Ridge Service on Park Avenue in Rutherford to express their support at a rally held by New Jersey State Senator Paul Sarlo and members of Americans for Prosperity (AFP) opposing New Jersey’s participation in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), a regional coalition of mid-Atlantic and northeastern states to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

>Baseball/Softball Parade will coincide with big game

THE RIDGEWOOD NEWS
There is an interesting twist to the annual Ridgewood Baseball and Softball Association (RBSA) Opening Day Parade and Family Fair being held this Saturday, April 30.
In past years, the parade was the traditional starting point of the village’s youth baseball and softball seasons. However, because of calendar issues with school break, as well as the Easter and Passover holidays, fields have been opened and play already has begun.
The new, later Opening Day Parade date not only increases the chances for ideal weather but also opens up other opportunities to celebrate the game.

>Cooperative Nursery School of Ridgewood Accepting Registration for Kindergarten Enrichment Program
The Cooperative Nursery School of Ridgewood is now accepting registration for its Kindergarten Enrichment program for the 2011-2012 school year. The school has spots available in both its morning and afternoon sessions. The program supports all the major district initiatives including: Handwriting Without Tears, Envision Math and Words Their Way. Classes meet twice per week. There is no co-op requirement for parents who enroll children in Kindergarten Enrichment.
A nonsectarian school, The Co-op offers morning and afternoon classes for 2, 3 and 4-year-olds, as well as Kindergarten Enrichment. The seasoned, professional teaching staff guides students toward social, emotional and physical well-being. Children learn and play in an environment ideally suited to their needs as developing individuals. The program encourages independence, self-discipline and a love for school. Setting the school apart from other nursery schools, The Co-op is organized and run by parents, which enables them to actively participate in their child’s early learning experience. Music, physical education, field trips, indoor and outdoor play time and an in-house library are just a few of the experiences to which the children are exposed as supplements to the daily education plans.

How to Cure a Hangover With Asparagus
Contributor
By Katherine Huether
The latest hangover remedy is asparagus, researchers say. According to “HealthDay News,” asparagus may help protect the liver and ease hangover symptoms.
A “Journal of Food Science” study also revealed that asparagus, a widely consumed vegetable eaten worldwide, has been used for its anti-cancer, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory and diuretic effects.
Asparagus is not only a cure for hangovers, but it’s also a beneficial source of folic acid, potassium, fiber, Vitamin B6, Vitamins A and C and thiamin, according to the Michigan Asparagus Advisory Board.
Thankfully, there’s a cure for those nauseous, head-pounding mornings. You know, those nights when your stomach is in knots-when you just want to go back to sleep.
The next time you have a hangover, try one (or all, depending on how bad you feel) of these suggestions to help alleviate your hangover :
New Jersey Patriots Are Taking their Voices to DC Again!
We are taking it to the “buses” on December 15th once again to provide our Senators the visual aid they need to understand clearly that we do not want this Healthcare bill on our backs or the backs of our children or grandchildren. We cannot afford, nor will we tolerate, another power grab by Congress to rule over our very own bodies and force upon us unconstitutional actions to compel us to buy or subsidize government healthcare in any shape or form.

Though I am quite amused at the person screaming at me anonymously through an online message board, I do feel the need to defend my comments which have been taken out of context – shocking!
Here is exactly what I posted:Just a heads up I have spoken to Oradell, as well as two AnimalHospitals in NYC near my office, and neither is recommending this shot.Additionally, the fee is $20, plus a $40 visit fee, both x 2, so the total cost is $120 for the vaccine. Not telling anyone which decision tomake, just helping provide some additional facts.
Nowhere am I “knocking” Ridgewood Animal Hospital or Dr. Cerf, who has seen our dog since we moved here and from what I can tell, does an excellent job. I am also quite happy for you that Dr. Cerf was able tosave your dog, as we had a difficult and expensive experience with our pup at 6 months old having developed a liver shunt and needing surgery,luckily for us he was saved by the great team at the NYC Animal Medical Center.
I did call Oradell after receiving the letter from RVH because I wanted to see if they charged less than Ridgewood for the shot, as my initial inclination was to absolutely vaccinate our dog. Oradell did inform mewhen I called that they were not recommending the shot across the board,and I will concede that perhaps in my above post, I could have been abit more specific. Additionally, I also contacted two vets near my office in NYC, who also stated they were not recommending the vaccine.My post was providing as accurate information as I had at the time. The mere suggestion that I would have some sort of agenda and thus put the beloved pets of my neighbors at risk is insulting.
If you were so curious as to where I work (as if I am some rogue internet poster who owns stock in Oradell Animal Hospital) you should note that unlike you, I do not post anonymous comments, though, for your piece of mind, I can assure you, that the utility company I work for has no vested interest in hurting RVH.
Sincerely,
John B.

The people who live near the former Pascack Valley Hospital say their health will be jeopardized if it doesn’t reopen.
But some North Jersey hospitals say it is the region’s health care system that will be thrown into disarray if Pascack is revived.
