Ridgweood school board names new business administrators

STAFF WRITER

A former school district employee will return to the Ridgewood Board of Education (BOE) as its business administrator in the coming months.

On Aug. 25, the BOE approved the hire of Alfredo Aguilar as the district’s business administrator, with a contract lasting through June 30, 2015. Aguilar will be paid an annual salary of $168,000.

Although Aguilar was unanimously approved to hire, he will remain in his current position, as the business administrator for the Pascack Valley Regional High School District, for 90 days or until a replacement is found.

In the interim, assistant business administrator Gertrude Engle has been named acting business administrator and will receive a stipend of $250 per day.

Aguilar previously served as the business administrator for the Oradell Board of Education and from 2009 to 2012 was the assistant business administrator in Ridgewood.

From 2004 to 2009, Aguilar was a middle school math teacher in Paterson Public Schools and from 2001 to 2004 was a financial services officer in the U.S. Air Force.

Mark Stankewicz of Ridgewood makes the cut for the Bergen Amateur

THE RECORD

RIVER VALE – Rus Whitney started strong and, somewhat to his surprise, finished even stronger.

Whitney earned medalist at Thursday’s Bergen County Amateur qualifier after shooting a 1-under 69 at Valley Brook Golf Course that featured a 2-under 33 on the back nine.

“I’ve never put together two good nines here,” said Whitney, 32, an Oradell resident and commodities trader, “and I feel like I did it here today.”

Whitney, whose father, Cyrus, is among New Jersey’s top senior amateurs, earned the first of 15 qualifying spots to the Bergen Amateur on Sept. 14 at Rockleigh GC.

A 77 or better made Thursday’s cut on this short, tight course, and the top four finishers are Bergen residents: Paramus’ Jin Jeon was runner-up with 71, and Harrington Park’s John Trainor and Ridgewood’s Mark Stankewicz each shot 72.

During a strong back nine under almost perfect conditions, Whitney birdied both par-3s and almost aced the 136-yard 17th. He hit a “knockdown” pitching wedge that rolled to within 6 inches.

Jeon labeled his 71 an “up-and-down day,” and it featured an eagle on the par-5 fifth hole — at 580 yards the longest on the course. Jeon, 24, a Northeastern graduate with a degree in industrial engineering, holed out from 95 yards with a pitching wedge.

Trainor was in the first threesome that teed off at 7:30 a.m. and drove to his 72 in just 3 hours, 30 minutes. Trainor, who last year made the cut at the Bergen Amateur, secured a return trip with two birdies and only four bogeys.

“It was a great day, a good day to play golf; not much wind,” said Trainor, 54, a police captain in Tenafly and the club champ at Knickerbocker CC. “The wind was not a real factor and I thought the golf course was the best I’ve seen it.”

This marked the first time Stankewicz, 47, attempted to qualify for the Bergen Amateur. Stankewicz, who made the cut at this year’s New Jersey Amateur, had three birdies, three bogeys and a double-bogey

It’s not often that a Republican wins Wallington, South Hackensack, Lyndhurst, Ridgefield and Rochelle Park and loses Oradell, Old Tappan, Norwood, Woodcliff Lake and Northvale but that’s what happened in this month’s U.S. Senate election.

Comparing the 2013 special with the 2012 presidential reveals some interesting comparisons.

Statewide, Lonegan ran 4 percent ahead of Mitt Romney – enough to have elected Romney had he run that much better nationwide.  But Bergen County was one place where Lonegan actually ran behind Romney.

That’s news to people South of Route 4 where the former Bogota Mayor exceeded the 2012 Romney percentage by 10 points in Ridgefield, 11 points in Palisades Park, 12 points in Bogota and 16 points in South Hackensack.

But go North of 4 to the traditionally Republican part of the county and there’s a different story.  Lonegan dropped 14 points behind Romney’s 52 percent in Booker’s home town of Harrington Park, 13 points behind Romney’s 63 percent in Old Tappan and 10 points behind Romney’s 57 percent in Woodcliff Lake.

Lonegan’s drop from 28 to 17 percent in Teaneck is heavily caused by a major drop in the GOP vote share among Orthodox Jews. Mitt Romney won 58 percent of the vote in the four big Teaneck Orthodox districts (9, 10, 11 and 12) compared with just 28 percent for Lonegan, turning a 514 vote Obama deficit into a 749 vote Booker margi

Same-sex couples get the financial benefits of marriage

Same-sex couples get the financial benefits of marriage

The Record

Now that same-sex couples can legally marry in New Jersey, major financial benefits open up to them, North Jersey experts said Monday.

“It will absolutely change tax planning and financial planning for same-sex couples,” said Ted Carnevale, a certified public accountant in Oradell.

With the Christie administration’s decision Monday to stop trying to block same-sex marriage, gay couples in New Jersey can now file their income tax returns jointly, which can often mean a lower tax bill. In addition, they can leave an unlimited amount of money to their spouses when they die.

Two Montclair women who were married Monday, Meredith Greenberg and Leora Perlman, said they were still unsure of all the financial implications. The two were married on the Jersey City waterfront by Mayor Steven Fulop, surrounded by family, friends and their three young sons.

“We’ve been trying to figure out how to be two women raising three children with a house and two cars and how to deal with tax returns for many years,” said Greenberg. “I think our tax attorney has a lot of work to do.”

The Internal Revenue Service announced in late August that “same-sex couples, legally married in jurisdictions that recognize their marriages, will be treated as married for federal tax purposes” – even if they move to a state that does not recognize same-sex marriage. The announcement followed the June 26 Supreme Court decision tossing out the Defense of Marriage Act.

Builder takes a chance on new construction

Builder takes a chance on new construction

Sunday, September 8, 2013
The Record

The listing: Five-bedroom colonial

Location: Ridgewood

Listed by: Dennis Jaye of Re/Max Real Estate Ltd. in Oradell

On the market: Four months, while under construction

Asking price: $1,268,500

The game plan: The home was newly constructed by a builder on speculation, with extras like an oversized laundry room, parking for four cars and a first-floor bedroom with full bath.

Since the housing bust, most North Jersey builders have held off on building without a buyer already lined up, but Jaye said he advised the builder that building in Ridgewood was a safe bet. He thought the house would attract buyers relocating from out of the area, who are often drawn to Ridgewood for its well-regarded school system, lively downtown and commuter train station.

“The train commute, for Wall Streeters, is a big deal,” he said.

Jaye listed the home on the New Jersey Multiple Listing Service and advertised it on the Internet, with its own website. A buyer relocating from Switzerland made a full-price offer.

The result: Another agent brought in the buyer and the home sold for $1,268,500.

Readers Remain Skeptical over potential Change in “Blue Laws”

Ridgewood stores are dying more from the lack of parking than the lack of Sunday shopping. 20 years and counting on a parking garage solution!!!! Paul……How about fixing that, instead of prioritizing the grandiose condo plans that will ruin our village.

Rte 17 will be at stand still on Sunday too? Drivers using Ridgewood local streets as a short cut. Can’t wait. Residents of Ridgewood, Maywood, Rochelle Park, Saddle Brook, River Edge and Oradell can look forward to pay more for Sunday police coverage while receiving none of the tax benefits that Paramus residents enjoy.

New rules will define Spelling Bee experience

New rules will define Spelling Bee experience
Wednesday, May 29, 2013
BY THE RECORD’S STAFF
The Record

Indrani Das packed two suitcases for her trip to Washington for the Scripps National Spelling Bee. One carried her clothes. The other — far more important – contained the precious cargo that could make or break her quest to capture the national championship.

It was a 17-pound dictionary.

That oversized book, and an imposing stack of other materials, loom especially important this year because of a rule change that, for the first time, requires contestants not only to spell any word in the dictionary, but to define some of them, too.

The new rules, announced in late March after the national field was set, were a surprise to 13-year-old Indrani, an eighth-grader at River Dell Middle School who will represent North Jersey in the event this week.

“I always thought the Spelling Bee was just about spelling,” she said during an interview in her Oradell home, adding, “They should have told us earlier.”
