CARLSTADT — Whether they're dropping anchor to relax on the rippling water of the Hackensack River or heading to fishing expeditions much farther upstream, local boat club members thrive in the Meadowlands.

An avid boater since he was a kid renting vessels to crabbers in the 1970s, Walter Elliott is one of the 18 members of Snipe Boat Club in Carlstadt. The Garfield resident embraces the boat club lifestyle.

"I've been on the water since I was 12, and I'll probably be on it until I die," says Elliott."In 1972, my neighbor owned a rental boat business by Overpeck Creek in Ridgefield Park, where I grew up. I used to rent boats for him. For $25 a day you could go crabbing on the Hackensack River."

During a 1973 road trip to San Francisco with his parents in a Gran Torino, Elliott talked about getting his own boat. "My father said he'd buy the boat and trailer if I paid for the motor. I saved up six months' pay from my paper route delivering The Record in 1974. That's how I got my first boat, and I'm pure Hackensack River," Elliott says.

The boat was a Sears Gamefisherman with a Ted Williams 9.9-horsepower motor. "I did a lot of crabbing with that boat, used to bring crabs home by the bushel," Elliott recalls, noting that the boat's motor didn't last as long as expected.

A semi-retired IT specialist, Elliott, 55, joined Snipe in 2004. "It's tough to get in. You get on a one-year waiting list and you have to prove yourself. You attend meetings, functions, fundraisers and show up to help maintain the club."

Sometimes he and his wife head to Robbins Reef in Bayonne for the weekend. "That's what boat club life is all about," Elliott says. "You hang out and enjoy time with your friends on the water and with other boat clubs."

Members go as far as Coney Island or just under the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge for fluke fishing. "Two bridges need to be opened in order to go out there. You got the Erie jackknife and the upper Hackensack. Usually within 15 minutes' notice, a bridge is opened," Elliott explains.

Down the river in Secaucus, Snipe's previous location was used from 1945 through 1964. The club bought the Carlstadt property at 254 Outwater Lane in 1965.

Sandwiched between Majestic and the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority's marina, Snipe features 13 slips and a boat house with full kitchen, butcher-block table and bar. Dedication to the club is mandatory. The 18 members split the cost for property taxes. A $1 cup of coffee is paid for with reliance on the honor system. Members pitch in for chores and lend their expertise, from carpentry, plumbing and masonry to accounting, to benefit the club. On a recent weeknight, it was Elliott's turn to mop the floors and clean the bathroom.

The club's commodore, Warren Schumann, has been a member since 2011, and his late father, George, was a member for 25 years. Schumann, a letter carrier from East Rutherford, owns his father's Sea Sticks II, a 24-foot Bayliner classic cabin cruiser that he converted into a fishing vessel.

"We used to go up and down the river with some of the guys to Tracey's in Little Ferry, dock the boat and go eat, then continue on the river to see the World War II submarine, the Ling, in Hackensack," says Schumann.

Snipe is the place to be for quality of life. "It's a place to sit on the dock, go out on a boat, get some peace of mind, even if it's for a short while," Schumann explains.

The Hackensack River is recovering from decades of pollution, he adds. "Some pretty big stripers were spotted recently, so that's a good sign. The river is cleaning up slowly. As long as we have a few boats on the water, life is good," says Schumann.

At the Hackensack Yacht Club, at 50 Shafer Place in Hackensack, Bergenfield resident and club member Bill Fuchs muses on the history of the club, which formed in 1908. Its roughly 100 members have a total of 50 vessels stored on the grounds, and five slips. Fuchs owns a 1968 Owens 27 foot cabin cruiser he keeps in an Englewood marina.

Sipping a beer at the Hackensack Yacht Club on a Friday evening while a family of ducks swim up to the dock, Fuchs says he spends his weekends on the Hudson River and looks forward to a revival of the Hackensack River beyond being a gateway to other waterways. "One mile north you hit a bridge at Court Street near the railroad trestle, and if you go south it's around 27 miles to the Statue of Liberty," Fuchs says. "There's no better feeling like floating on the water, my dad used to say."

The limits of the Hackensack River include fishing restrictions, he notes. "Life is coming back to this river," Fuchs says, offering a glimmer of optimism. "More fish and birds is a good sign. Ecologically, it's getting cleaner."

A former Carlstadt student is accusing one of his teachers of sexual assault when he was a fifth grader in the 1980s.

The victim, identified only by his initials in a lawsuit filed on Sept. 14, said that when he was a student at Lincoln Elementary School, art teacher Gerald Juzdan began grooming him "immediately" as the school year began.

Juzdan is not the only defendant named in the lawsuit. The Carlstadt school district and Board of Education were also named.

"While I cannot comment on litigation, especially one that alleges conduct that occurred at a school that no longer exists and at a time when no current staff was employed, please be advised that Carlstadt Public School is committed to providing a 100% safe and happy place to learn and work," said Allison Evans, superintendent of Carlstadt Public School.

Carlstadt’s two former elementary schools, Lincoln Elementary School and Washington School, were closed in 2007, and the new Carlstadt Public School opened to students. The two older buildings were given to the borough in a land swap with the school district about a decade ago. Washington School was demolished in 2008 and its tract turned into Village Green Park.

Daniel Lapinski, attorney for the victim, declined to go into further detail about the lawsuit.

According to the lawsuit, the victim would have music and art classes in the same classroom and the music teacher would be in the room 50% to 70% of the time when the touching occurred. The suit says the touching began in November 1981.

The victim accused Juzdan of inappropriately touching him, scratching and running his hands down the victim's back and having his arm around the victim's shoulders during after-school hours in the hallway.

The suit says Juzdan would bring his student back to his classroom to sit on his desk, where he would put his chair between the student's legs and then would rub his knees and legs, tickle his bare back and rub his bare chest and stomach.

Juzdan had the victim pose for "inappropriate" photos, and the touching after school happened 15 to 20 times, according to the lawsuit.

As the year progressed, the victim said, the touching escalated, and Juzdan would touch him in front of classmates, putting his hand under his shirt and playing "itsy bitsy spider" and scratching and massaging his bare chest and stomach under his clothes.

The suit says the "inappropriate conduct was so obvious to other students in the classroom that [the victim's] classmates would make fun of him and say things like 'He [the alleged perpetrator] loves you,'" which led to extreme embarrassment and discomfort.

The victim believes that a number of staff members saw him walk around with Juzdan multiple times but that Juzdan would intentionally take paths to avoid other teachers, administrators and staff. The victim said that at least one time, Juzdan took him down to the school's boiler room and they were seen by one of the janitors.

The lawsuit says the abuse continued into the victim's sixth grade year and that there is a belief that he was not the only victim of Juzdan.

A similar lawsuit accusing Juzdan of sexual abuse of a student during the 1981-1982 school year was filed against the Carlstadt school district and Board of Education in 2021. That case was later dismissed with prejudice.

Accusations followed Juzdan when he taught in Glen Ridge, and he was later arrested on child abuse charges. As part of his pretrial intervention, he was required to give up his teaching license, according to an order of revocation filed with the State Board of Examiners in October 2010. He was issued a teacher of art certificate in November 1974.

The victim said the district had a responsibility to ensure the safety of students and failed to do so, fostering a "culture and environment characterized by permissiveness and a lack of supervision that enabled staff members to sexually abuse students."

He said the district was aware of Juzdan's "predatory behavior" but did nothing about it.

The lawsuit criticizes the district for hiring Juzdan, saying parents and students rely on the district to keep children safe from harm and his hiring gave the impression that he did not pose a threat to children.

TAMPA, Fla. – A collection of players arrives in Arizona this weekend, exiting major league camps to form Team USA, and their manager can’t wait to get started.

“I want there to be a buzz,’’ Mark DeRosa says of setting a tone for the World Baseball Classic.

The 20-team tournament opens Wednesday, March 8, with the final on March 21 at Miami, and “I want these guys to enjoy the heck out of this experience.’’

Creating an energy in the room, “that’s what I’m most excited for,’’ says the New Jersey native DeRosa, whose exuberant personality makes him uniquely qualified for the task.

“This is an opportunity to grow, and be great, and to represent your country and get to meet some guys you may never be in a batting practice group with,’’ DeRosa told The Record and NorthJersey.com in a recent phone interview.

And with a team filled with MLB stars, “We’ll be the hunted.’’

New Jersey boys leading Team USA: Mark DeRosa and Mike Trout

DeRosa’s lineup card will boast names like Mike Trout and Mookie Betts.

His coaching staff includes Andy Pettitte and Ken Griffey Jr.

“It really is crazy to me that everything I did as a kid, on my front stoop in Carlstadt, where I’m (swinging a bat as) Rickey Henderson, I’m Tony Gwynn, I’m Don Mattingly – I basically get to play that now with the current game,’’ DeRosa said of the star power of Team USA.

“I could argue this will be the greatest USA team ever assembled.’’

Getting Trout, who's from Millville, onboard was a big first step.

“I’ve got to know him over the years, you know, Jersey boys. So it’s pretty special,’’ Trout said recently of playing for DeRosa. “He’s got a really good mindset (and) we’re going to go out there and try to win it for him.’’

From their initial phone conversation, DeRosa felt that Trout “wants to make a statement here and I think a lot of guys want to be in that USA locker with him.’’

Admittedly, Trout regrets not playing in the last WBC, which Team USA won in 2017.

Trying to “win this whole thing’’ is “the whole reason I signed up,’’ Trout said. “Anything else is a failure.’’

Mark DeRosa's competitive edge, honed at Bergen Catholic

After a successful big-league career that spanned 16 seasons, DeRosa has brought his high energy to MLB Network as a host on "MLB Central".

Yet, “obviously, there’s an itch there,’’ DeRosa says of entertaining “the idea’’ of managing in the majors.

“But I’ve also been a little tiptoe-ish in how I’ve approached it,’’ said DeRosa, with a young family and nice network gig. “I kind of like my life.’’

And if he’s in a big-league dugout again, “You’re all in. You’re thinking about the game non-stop, every day, even when you’re not at the yard,’’ he said.

As manager of Team USA, “this gave me a perfect opportunity to dive in on that level, but only for a short burst.’’

Maybe the competition sparks something in DeRosa, who could be a natural in this field, too.

“He’s so intelligent, and he’s so committed,’’ said Joe Haemmerle, Associate Athletic Director at Bergen Catholic High School, who has known DeRosa for decades.

“He’s so in-tune with the game and he also has a presence about him and a command for how to deal with people. He’s a tremendous people person.’’

And about that competitive nature…

As a junior quarterback on Bergen Catholic’s scout team, “he was so talented, we would have to tell him to throw interceptions’’ during practices, says Haemmerle. “If we let him go at it, I don’t think (our team) would have any confidence.’’

How does he view the World Baseball Classic?

“I wasn’t a guy who went to All-Star games,’’ said DeRosa, so being part of Team USA’s 2009 WBC club was something else.

“To be able to share a BP group with Derek Jeter and David Wright for three weeks was special,’’ said DeRosa, who was approached last summer about managing in 2023 by Team USA general manager Tony Reagins.

By the end of his second interview with Reagins, “he reached under his desk, grabbed a USA jersey and kind of threw it at me and asked if I want to do this,’’ said DeRosa, who readily accepted.

Former New York Mets manager Jerry Manuel is DeRosa’s bench coach, and he’s “exactly what I need,’’ said DeRosa, recalling Manuel’s first words to him after taking the post: “My job is to keep you calm.’’

Dave Righetti, a friend from their San Francisco Giants days, is the bullpen coach, and DeRosa brought along ex-teammates Michael Young and Brian McCann as coaches.

“I’ve got to know there’s at least two guys in there who’ll take a bullet for me,’’ quipped DeRosa, planning to abide the advice of Paul Seiler, USA Baseball’s CEO.

“The goal is to get them to understand this is a competition and not an exhibition,’’ said DeRosa, who recalled as a player in 2009, “it was an exhibition until – oh my gosh, we’re playing Venezuela and there’s a ton of people in the stands and, hey, we’ve got to turn this on.’’

Penwood Real Estate Investment Management has received $19.6 million in financing for a 109,775-square-foot warehouse and distribution facility located at 305 Veterans Blvd. in Carlstadt, N.J.

JLL Capital Markets worked on behalf of the borrower to secure the three-year, floating-rate loan from Tristate Capital Bank. Michael Klein, senior managing director with JLL, said in prepared remarks that despite the market’s current volatility, there is still liquidity for companies who own industrial assets in top markets such as the Meadowlands.

Penwood acquired the facility through its sixth industrial fund in July 2022. Snow Joe sold the Class B asset for $44 million, according to CommercialEdge data. The property had previously changed hands in 2014 for $6.9 million.

Completed in 1966 on 3.5 acres, the one-story building features 22-foot clear heights, six dock-high doors, one drive-in door, ESFR fire sprinklers and a two-level office build-out component. The facility was vacant at the time of the purchase but the new ownership plans to lease it to prospective warehouse and distribution tenants. JLL Executive Managing Director Chris Hile, Senior Vice President Michael Palmeri and Vice Chairman David Knee are the property’s leasing agents.

The facility has access to several thoroughfares including the New Jersey Turnpike, Interstate 80 and state routes 3, 17 and 46. The property is 12 miles northwest of the Port of New York and New Jersey, with Newark Liberty International Airport just 15 miles away.

The JLL team that arranged the financing included Senior Managing Director Michael Klein, Director Max Custer and Associate Ryan Carroll.

New Jersey’s industrial market, back to pre-pandemic levels

New Jersey’s accessibility and proximity to ports contributes to its industrial market’s positive outlook. A JLL report shows that leases totaled 7.5 million square feet in the fourth quarter of 2022, a normalized volume, on part with the pre-pandemic activity.

According to the same report, the metro’s development activity reached historic heights, with 28.7 million square feet actively under construction and 10.3 million square feet of space delivered in the fourth quarter. One of the projects is Windsor 8 Logistics Center, a 325,710-square-foot Class A facility developed by Brookfield Properties, in East Windsor, N.J., slated for completion in the first quarter of 2024.

January kicked off with a major acquisition in Newark, N.J., as Hines purchased Newark Distribution Center, a three-property, 738,000-square-foot industrial portfolio. The assets traded for $127.4 million.
