EDITORIAL A THANK YOU FROM AIT1UO Swine connoisseur To die Editor I would like to thank the voters of North Arlington for allowing me the opportunity to run for the board of edu- cation and offer some better ways on how to best educate our children. My campaign was about new ideas to deliver quality education at the. lowest possible cost I believe that message res- onated with many voters and was a rea- son why the results were so close. With that said, this campaign was a successful one. Administrative costs in the school dis- trict are too high. The investment in books and supplies for students is far too low. The number of students being accepted and graduating from college needs to improve.

NA kicks off Little League season PHOTO AND CAPTION BY JAMES DOMMOWSn The annual North Arlington Little League parade kicked off the opening weekend of Little League baseball. A large turnout of local children and parents lined the streets from borough hall to the Little League fieldo n River Road. League and borough officials helped welcome in the new season of baseball. The North Arlington Girls Softball League also had its parade earlier the same day. The girls play on their own field located off Schulyer Avenue. Singing the National Anthem was Amanda Pyle. Mayor Peter Massa threw out the first pitch, which was caught by Little Leaguer Kevin Cerqueira. Michael Long read the traditional Little League Pledge. Massa recalled his first Little League experience dating back to 1955 in North Arlington on the same field, which was recently renovated. Frank Marinho thanked the volunteers who helped make the renovations possible—especially the donated work by DeGrace who owns John DeGrace Plumbing, located on River Road in North Arlington. Shown left to right are Councilman Albert Granell, Recreation Director Rita Healy, Councilman Steve Tannelli, Recreation Commission President Tara Banuls, Massa, Borough Administrator Terence Wall, Little League President Frank Marinho, Little League Vice President John DeGrace and Councilman Richard Hughes.
