Dr. A rm stro n g m ain tains h e r p roperty in as naturalistic a fash ion as possible, red u c in g o r e lim in a tin g the need for fertilizer, pestic ides o r irrigation w a­ter.

“ I’m a bit Bohem ian,” Dr. A rm strong said in a recen t phone in terv iew , add­ing w ith a laugh, “ Y ou have to be to care fo r an im als, I th ink .”

Dr. Armstrong describes herself as a life long friend o f animals. “ I ’ ve al­ways loved them,“ she says. “ I had a black kitten that was my best friend from when I was three un til I was 19.” In fact, during the interview she de­scribed herself as sitting on her bed w ith her cats, Princess Iris and Rain­bow, by her feet. She is a longtime member o f the Audubon Society, which focuses largely on birds and b ird lovers.

When asked about her neighbors’ reaction to her cultivation o f w ild life in her yard, Armstrong concedes that they were not very excited about it at a ll. There have been “ only negative reactions from my neighbors,” she says. Before the property was pro­tected via National W ild life Federa­tio n ce rtifica tio n , she w ould fre ­quently hear complaints from neigh­bors who thought that her shrubs should be trimmed in “ thus-and-such a fashion.” Sometimes the arguments led to Armstrong having to hire a it attorney to protect her interests.

U ntil her retirement, Armstrong was a professor o f International Law in New Y ork C ity. Before that she was an o ffice r in die United States A ir Force’s Intelligence D ivision, woiking

In Rutherford, however, the proce­dure is sligh tly different. The money s till needs to be expended firs t, but the borough docs not have to wait until July to begin the mechanics o f making the repairs. Borough Admin­istrator Robert Gorman says that the project "should go to bid in the spring, and the work itse lf should be done by early summer." Rutherford's problem is that the $140,000, according to the engineer's estimate, w ill not cover the project as o rig ina lly envisioned. The original plan was to resurface High­land Cross from Patk Avenue down to Rt. 17, which is estimated to cost over $200,000. “ W e 'll have to go down, look It over and decide what section o fthe street needs It the most ”

I believe I have m en tioned befo re that there is o nly one w ay I like egg­plant and th a t is parm igiano. It has m any steps an d I th in k one o f the m ost d ifficu lt to m ake. First peel it, slice it, d ip it in beaten egg and bread crum bs and fry. T h is is only the first step. I m ake it easie r for m y se lf by baking. It is too m uch trouble frying, and not g o o d fo r y ou . I d o n ’t fry m any th ings. W hen you finish cook­ing the slices that is on ly the start, too m uch tro u b le to g o on.

T he o th er day M rs. P aar o f C arl- stadt and I w ere talk ing abou t egg­plant and she to ld m e she m akes it very well. She brough t m e a sam ple and she is right. H ers is perfection , delicious. T he sauce that she com ­pletes the d ish w ith is ou tstanding . I m ust ask her fo r the com plete recipe.

I cam e in to the o ffice the o th er day to find a w axed p ap er bag w ith this large ob ject tw ice a s big as a base­ball. I could not m ake out w hat it was. It w as dark and shaggy. Could it be a turn ip , a p ineapple o r a cocoanut? I c ou ld not im agine. L ater I found out M r. C atania brought it to m e. It w as a sugar beet, w hich he grew . I m ust fig­u re out h ow to cook it. I th ink I will boil it, skin it, cube it and add butter. S ounds good to m e. Som eone sug­gested vinegar but I like butter.

I had the pleasure the o ther day o f a visit from G eorge W oertz’s younger son G eorge. As exuberant as ever he told m e he has ju st com pleted 35 years

o f sch o o l teach in g in F lo rida. I re­m inded him th at I had him as a pupil in the eighth grade, which he remembered, in R oosevelt S chool. H e to ld m e he re­ce ived the b est education there. That w as v ery f la tte ring and o f course I en ­jo y ed hearing it. I could not help re­m ind ing him w hat a m ischievous boy he w as. So m uch so that when we w ent on a c lass trip to the zoo I insisted that he sit n ex t to the w indow on the bus and I sat nex t to him . In that w ay he w as kep t subdued and did not get in tro u b le w ith th e boys sitting in the back.

I rem em ber having G eorge’s o lder son, “T ex ,” in Roosevelt School also. W e h ad som e trouble in our bathroom in the m iddle o f the night and I called G eorge S enior, a p lum ber, in despera- tipn. H e w as not hom e so I called his son T ex. H e said he could not com e because he w as baby-sitting that night. His w ife w as out. I nearly w ept, “O h, T ex,” I said, “ W e are in bad trouble. The house is flooding .”

He said, “ F or you, I ’ll com e.” A few

Time flies faster than kids playing tag at re­cess. And while kids always remember who was ‘it’ last week, last month, and even last year, adults struggle to recall such important people.

¡Of course, in the grown-up world, the ‘its’ aite the movers, shakers, and headliners of day- to-day life. Some are tagged, some elected, scrme appointed. Some are institutions. To re- frfcsh everyone’s memory, here are soMe of Riitherford’s ‘it’ moments and people' 2000. Lyndhurst, North Arlington, Wallington, Carl­stadt and East Rutherford will be highlighted over the next few weeks. v

Mayor Bernadette McPherson hit the ground running when she waa sworn in Jan. 1, 2000. And she’s still on overdrive. Her ‘it’ mioments? Municipal taxés didn’t go up; gar­bage is now picked up twice • week; and lots ofgrant money is flowing through borough hall.

Robin Reenstra-Bryant, the borough’s new Downtown Partnership director, is new on the job but that didn’t stop her from banging out p ess releases touting the. (hopping district’s high lights. Her ‘it’ moment so fcrt^he down­town has never looked better during the holi­day season and stores are being filled with new tepants left and right.

RHS Principal William Bauman is retiring as of Jan. 1, but he’s going out with a big Blue Ribbon hanging from his coattails. Qj^çttne, h i ‘it’ moment is the school’s National Blue Ribbon designation. But his accomplishments run much deeper and he will be missed. Newly-appointed John Hurley has some mighty big shoes to AILThe Rutherford Fire Department and Ladies

Auxiliary have ‘It’ moments everyday. But the

them selves o f 50% o f their ch im pan- zee population .

New school superintendent Leslie Collin probably hasn’t had time to catch her breath in months.

.. .L'IL-.

Fix it! Close elections will happen againDon’t th ink it can’t happen again.

Over the last few yean Americans became used to one-sided presidential elections.

In fact, in the memory o f moat Am ericans a live today only tw o e lections can tru ly be ca lled aqueaken: when Kennedy beat Nixon by less than 113,000 votes, and when Nbton beat Humphrey by a little more M l h a lf a m illion votes out o f 73 mUicncsat.

Make thatduee squeakers. And in th is one, the winner seems to have beea the One who actually te a t the papular vote.

That had not happened since 1088. In that election, Orover Cleveland had 93,000 more popular votes than Benjam in H arrison but lost the electoral vote. The same thing had happened three elections earlier, in 1176, when Samuel J. Tilden beat Rutherford B. Hayes by 251,000 votes, ye t lost IIS -1 14 in the Electoral College.

That 1876 election marked the beginning o f a cycle o f extraordinarily close races. In 1880James A. Garfield won by 10,000. In 18(4 It was Grover Cleveland by 23,000. Then came the 1888 fiasco, followed by 1892, when Cleveland got back at Harrison by

winning the electoral vote aa w ell as the popular vote, 5.5 m illion to 5.2 m illion. That's five close elections in a row, and in two o f them the winner

Despite your perhaps seeing stories w ith my byline on them. I'm actually on vacation this week.

'Twas the Friday before Christmas and everyone was freaking. (No, the next line isn’ t going to rhyme.) We were trying to get our acts together fo r our drive down to sunny Florida, most o f which involved me putting th e cargo ca rrie r on th e car, m e puning the luggage into the cargo carrier, me putting other materials in to th e back o f the ca r, me organizing the “ road munchies” that are a requisite o f any trip involving kids, and me getting the presents wrapped up fo r the relatives down south, and put into the cargo carrier. The kids helped out by watching a very im portan t episode o f “ Pokemon,” I th ink. W ife helped out by wondering aloud what was taking me so long, and shuttling the kids into the bathroom, one by one. There were five kids to take to Florida, so when she got the last one out, anyone who’s ever had more than two kids (i.e . once you’ re outnum bered) knows that the firs t one needs to go back in again, and around and around...

Okay. So we managed to get everything and everyone into the car finally, and o ff we went to Florida, where the firs t thing we saw was a lo t o f clouds. Sunshine State, my Aunt Fanny ( if you get my d rift). A lso we saw the aftermath o f the hupe forest fires from a couple o f

I

y ea rs ago. The s tu ff is ju s t starting to g ro w back in som e places.

CLAUDES CALL By Claude Call

As it turns out, I le ft one present back in Rutherford, something fo r my sister-in-law . It was a case o f mistaken identity, something that I saw in the bag turned out to be for someone else. We discovered it while 1 was sorting through the g ifts so that the item s fo r m y m other, my grandm other, my daughter, etc., would a ll go west w ith me.

W ife was quite upset by a ll this, go figure. To me, it was a single g ift that could be sent along later on, no harm no fo u l. To m y m ind. I ’ d single-handedly wrapped over eighty presents fo r a whole bunch o f people, so one missing item was a pretty

M1good track record. More accurate than the vote counts down here, I ; betcha. But 1 suppose these lit tle , differences o f opinion are what make . the banle o f the saxes so interesting.; That, and fra te rn iz in g w ith t h e , enemy.

A few minutes later, my mother , arrives and I move a ll the s tu ff from the one car to the other. A few j pleasantries, a “ see you at the Mouse, Park in a few days” and o ff we We get to my. mother’s house founj hours later and start unpacking.
