Library Friday Morning Group"ToKill aMockingbird":10/28 10:30AM

The Teaneck Public Library Friday Morning Group will host a lecture and discussions with Bill Levy, B. A., M. A., of Harper Lee's classic "To Kill a Mockingbird," the 2005 One Book New Jersey featured adult book, on October 28th at 10:30 AM.

Critics' response to "To Kill a Mockingbird" was mixed; a number of critics found the narrative voice of a nine-year-old-girl unconvincing and called the novel overly moralistic. Nevertheless, in the racially charged atmosphere of the early 1960's, the book became an enormous popular success, winning the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and selling more than 15 million copies. The book remains a staple of high school and college reading lists, beloved by millions of readers worldwide for its appealing depiction of childhood innocence, its scathing moral condemnation of racial prejudice, and its affirmation that human goodness can withstand the assault of evil.

Levy taught for 31 years in public schools and New York City and Hopatcong. In 1998, he wrote a widely praised book on one of American's greatest directors, "John Ford, A Bio-Bibliography." Levy is a speaker on many topics including vintage movies, the Academy Awards, and how to use humor to combat daily stress. Last, but not least, Levy is one of Americana Lecturer's featured speakers on Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird" and the 2005 Pulitzer Prize Winner for Fiction, "Gilead," by Marilynn Robinson.

The public is welcome to attend this free program to be held in the library auditorium and to the coffee and socializing session that precedes it at 10:00 AM. The library is located at 840 Teaneck Road at the corner of Cedar Lane in Teaneck. For more information, call the Library at 201-837-4171 or visit http://www.Teaneck.org for more about this and other upcoming events, programs and services offered by the Teaneck Public Library.

Teaneck New Theatre Presents"Breaking Legs":10/21-23,28-30

"Breaking Legs," the off-Broadway hit comedy by Tom Dulack, will be presented by Teaneck New Theatre in association with The Hackensack Cultural Arts Center (HCAC) on Friday and Saturday, October 21st, 22nd, 28th and 29th at 8:00 PM, and Sundays, October 23rd and 30th, at 3:00 PM. Greg Liosi directs the show, which will be performed at HCAC, 39 Broadway, Hackensack.

The term "break a leg" is associated with wishing good luck to actors, but the expression has a slightly different connotation when the world of the Mafia collides with the world of the theatre. The wacky fun begins when Terence O'Keefe (a college professor and playwright) approaches the father of Angie (his former student) to obtain financial backing for his new play. What O'Keefe doesn't know is that, in addition to owning a successful Italian restaurant, Angie's father Lou Graziano has an extended "family" made up of mobsters. Complications arise when flamboyant Angie falls for the unsuspecting playwright. The situation becomes even trickier when a minor thug "accidentally" dies and O'Keefe finds out who his backers really are. "Breaking Legs" keeps everyone in line by serving up pasta and mayhem in equal measure.

Tickets for "Breaking Legs" are $12; $10 for students, seniors and theatreparties of 10 or more. For reservations and information, call TNT at 201-692-0200 or HCAC at 201-646-8042. If available, tickets can be purchased at the door prior to performance. Visit Teaneck New Theatre's web site at http://www.go-TNT.org for directions to the theatre or for more information.

BCUA Tire Recycling and Computer / Electronics Event: 10/22 9AM-2PM

The Bergen County Utilities Authority will be conducting a tire recycling and computer / electronics event on Saturday, October 22nd from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM at the Bergen County Law and Public Safety Institute located at 281 Campgaw Road in Mahwah. Click on http://tinyurl.com/3g37x for a Mapquest map of the location.

Since 1995, the BCUA sponsored Tire Recycling Program has recycled over 229,462 tires. A few of the many uses for scrap tires are: safety flooring, commercial fishing equipment, dock and boat bumpers, truck bed mats, mud flaps, garbage and recycling containers, shoe soles, and even river bank stabilizers.

Bergen County residents may bring up to four tires per delivery. There is no charge for this service as all costs are grant funded. No commercial generators are permitted at Amnesty Collection Events.

Most consumers are unaware that computer and electronic equipment contains toxic materials and heavy metals. These materials, if thrown in the trash, will end up in a landfill or incinerated, potentially creating an unsafe environment. To reduce the environmental impact caused by improper disposal, and at the same time increase recycling in Bergen County, at Saturday's event, the BCUA will accept all types of computer and electronic equipment such as monitors, Computer Processing Units (CPU's), laptop computers, printers, keyboards, fax machines, hard drives, modems, speakers, power sources and wiring for recycling and reuse.

For additional information about the program, call the BCUA at 201-807-5825 or see http://www.BCUA.org/Calendar.asp?EventTypeID=1 for more details on this and other recycling programs offered by the Bergen County Utilities Authority.

Library Friday Morning Group"NewJersey Shows"NewWay":10/21 10:30AM

In celebration of Humanities Festival Week, the Teaneck Public Library will present a slide/lecture entitled "From the American Revolution to the Civil Rights Era: New Jersey Shows the Way" by Raymond Frey, Ph.D. this morning, October 21st at 10:30 AM in the library auditorium. This program was made possible by a grant from the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, a state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Ever since the first Europeans came to America, New Jersey has played a significant role in the history of our country. It was the crossroads of the American Revolution, and played a pivotal role in the writing of the U.S. Constitution. It was home to the world's highest canal and the first railroad. New Jersey men fought bravely in the Civil War. At the turn of the twentieth century the state became an industrial powerhouse and the final destination of hundreds of thousands of immigrants. It suffered greatly during the Great Depression. It was the embarkation point for millions of men bound for Europe to fight in two world wars. It was scorched by the flames of race riots. New Jersey struggled with problems of environmental pollution, suburban sprawl, and changing demographics. Many New Jerseyans lost their lives on 9/11.

Unfortunately the state has sometimes become the butt of jokes by those in other states, but in fact there is no other state more “American" than ours. New Jersey's long history is American history, and has helped to define this nation from its very beginning.

Dr. Raymond Frey is Professor of History at Centenary College in Hackettstown, where he has just completed his tenure as Dean of the Faculty in order to complete several writing projects. Now in his fifteenth year at Centenary, he recently was appointed the Gates-Ferry Distinguished Lecturer. Dr. Frey holds graduate degrees in history and philosophy from Fordham University and Drew University. He published in August 2004 his important new book "New Jersey: A Journey of Discovery" and is presently completing a biography of first lady Bess Truman. He has also signed a contract to write a biography of Harry Truman.

The public is welcome to attend this free program to be held in the library auditorium and to the coffee and socializing session that precedes it at 10:00 AM. The library is located at 840 Teaneck Road at the corner of Cedar Lane in Teaneck. For more information, call the Library at 201-837-4171 or visit http://www.Teaneck.org for more about this and other upcoming events, programs and services offered by the Teaneck Public Library.

Teaneck Public Library Presents Josh Braff: 10/20 7PM

The Teaneck Public Library presents first time novelist Josh Braff, author of the critically acclaimed "The Unthinkable Thoughts of Jacob Green," who will discuss his writing with high school upperclassmen and college students on Thursday evening, October 20th at 7:00 PM, as part of Teen Read Week festivities.

Braff, brother of Zach Braff (NBC's Scrubs, director and star of the film "Garden State") has written a hilarious and moving debut novel. Set in suburban New Jersey, "The Unthinkable Thoughts of Jacob Green" is a tale of a mid-70's New Jersey boyhood. Jacob's present tense, first-person narration keeps the pace quick and the exquisite plotting ensures that Jacob's growing emotional turmoil is paralleled by metaphorically resonant real-life events.

There is no advance registration required and no fee is involved. For more information, call the Library at 201-837-4171 or visit http://www.Teaneck.org for additional details regarding this and other events, programs and services offered by the Teaneck Public Library.

Billy Talen & The Stop Shopping Choir at Puffin: 10/15 8PM

On Saturday, October 15th, at 8:00 PM, the Puffin Cultural Forum presents The Reverend Billy Talen & the Stop Shopping Gospel Choir will perform their 'exorcism' of the consumerism demon. Activist / exorcist, veteran of campaigns against Starbucks, Walmart, and the Disney Store comes to the Puffin stage with his mighty choir. $5.00 suggested donation.

As reported in a full-page article in the Go! section of today's Record, "Talen's Obie Award-winning revival show features credit card exorcisms, the rejection of logos, gospel singing and raging sermons. His choir is comprised of 25 singers - everyone from former Starbucks employees to actors, students and artists. While he plays places like the Puffin Forum - where he is welcome — he's played plenty of places in the past seven years where he most certainly was not. A court order has banned him from coming within 250 yards of any of the 1,481 Starbucks franchises in California, and a memo was reportedly issued to all Starbucks employees titled, 'What should I do if the Rev. Billy is in my store?'" See http://tinyurl.com/bnf58 for the item at the Record's http://www.Bergen.com web site (registration required).

The Puffin Cultural Forum is a project of the Puffin Foundation, Ltd. and is located at 20 East Oakdene Avenue in Teaneck (off of Teaneck Road). For directions or other information about Puffin Cultural Forum events, please consult the Puffin Cultural Forum section of the foundation's website at http://www.PuffinFoundation.org or call us at 201-836-8923.

Puffin Panel Discussion"Laborin the GlobalMarketplace":10/14 7PM

Today's global economy has been called by some a “race to the bottom,” meaning that eventually workers will be left with no protection from exploitation or unfair treatment by unregulated corporations. In conjunction with the art exhibit The Human Element: The Art of Labor, the Labor of Art, on Friday, October 14th at 7:00 PM at the Puffin Cultural Forum, a panel discussion entitled The Race to the Bottom: Labor in the Global Marketplace with special guests Hetty Rosenstein, “Organizer of the Year" at the AFL-CIO New Jersey State Convention; Amanda Teckman of the National Labor Committee and Sondra Youdelman of Community Voices Heard, will explore the future of the laborer in today's globalized economy.

Panelist Amanda Teckman works for the National Labor Committee which has been an advocate for higher wages and better working conditions in third world countries. The NLC tries to put a human face on the global economy by reporting gross violations of labor law and basic human rights in factories around the world. Their most recent campaign involves the He Yi factory in China, where workers are paid less than the minimum wage, with mandatory overtime, obligatory seven-day work weeks, and 18-20.5 hour shifts, producing "Bobblehead" dolls of major league players produced under licensing agreements with the NFL, NBA, MLB, NCAA, Nascar and the Collegiate Licensing Company.

Sondra Youdelman is currently the Policy and Research Director of New York City-based Community Voices Heard (CVH). CVH is a membership organization of low-income individuals, mostly women who have been recipients of public assistance, working together to empower their families and communities. They use a multi-pronged strategy which includes community organizing, public education, public policy work, coalition building, leadership development, training low-income people about their rights, political education and direct-action issue campaigns.

Hetty Rosenstein is the President of Communications Workers of America (CWA) and founding member of the advocacy group New Jersey Citizen Action. CWA is America's largest communications and media union. It represents over 700,000 men and women in both private and public sectors.

The Puffin Cultural Forum is a project of the Puffin Foundation, Ltd. and is located at 20 East Oakdene Avenue in Teaneck (off of Teaneck Road).

FDU Knowledge Initiative Database Workshops: 10/14 7:30AM ff.

To take full advantage of the new $6 million Knowledge Initiative project of the State of New Jersey, workshops for entrepreneurs, small business owners, researchers, students, physicians and health providers in private practice are available at no cost at Fairleigh Dickinson University.

Many small businesses cannot afford to purchase high-end business, science, technology and medical databases. Now, through New Jersey's Knowledge Initiative, there is Web access to a host of high-end databases. The research databases are available, free of cost, at every New Jersey college and university as well as at selected public libraries. The 45-minute workshops are designed to give an overview of the capabilities of these databases. On Friday, October 14th, there will be three back-to-back sessions offered at 7:30, 8:30 and 9:30 AM. If the succeeding workshop is not fully booked, attendees are welcome to stay for a repeat session.

Access is a critical part of the equation, but using this rich, new resource efficiently may require some guidance. Fairleigh Dickinson University Library is partnering with FDU's Petrocelli College of Continuing Studies to sponsor free workshops to individuals interested in learning more about these powerful resources. The instructor is Maria Kocylowsky, Head Business Librarian, Metropolitan Campus.

Workshops will be held in the computer laboratory at FDU's Edward Williams Hall, located at 150 Kotte Place in Hackensack. The building is reached from Hackensack Avenue South and there is ample free parking at the door. Click on http://tinyurl.com/26vc2 for a map of the campus, where Edward Williams Hall is identified as building 56.

Seating is limited, so to learn more or reserve a place at a workshop, contact Maria Kocylowsky by e-mail at mailto:mariaLK@FDU.edu or call 201-692-2278. Click on http://www.FDU.edu for more about this and other upcoming events and programs at Fairleigh Dickinson University.

Teaneck Leaf Collection Season Underway: as of 10/11

Weekly curbside collection of garden debris ended October 6, 2005. Garden Debris pick-up will resume in January 2006. Remaining garden debris can be taken to the Recycling Depot for disposal.

It seems that summer just ended, but Leaf Collection season already began on October 11th and will continue through December 11th. Be sure to have all your leaves, grass clippings and small plant material raked out to the street on or before December 11th. Once the leaves have been picked up in your area after December 11th, the Township will not return to pick them up.

Do not place branches or large plant material with leaves as they are not suitable for composting with leaves, and could damage the street cleaning equipment. These will be collected as garden debris in January 2006, or you may bring them to the Recycling Center anytime it is open. Please refer to the recycling calendar for the garden debris pick-up schedule.
