Train station (continued from page 7) “Based upon recent contractors’ estimates, the entire project will likely approach $500,000, but that is a very fuzzy number that is based upon a lot of anticipated conditions. True conditions and costs will not be known until the physical work begins and the building is opened up and the excavating reveals the structure below grade,” he said. Meanwhile, WCA’s local fundraising efforts continue. Coming up on June 12 (rain date, June 19) is the Annual WCA Car Show, to be held at the Waldwick Train Station from 9:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. The event provides lots of fun for the family, and admission is free to spectators. The WCA will be offering great summertime food; the VFW will be open for refreshments, and there will be live music featuring the Yosemite Band and Eternally Elvis, the ultimate Elvis Presley show. For those who enter their cars, there will be free goodie bags, dash plaques, and trophies in over 30 classes. For more information, please call WCA President Chuck Wanamaker at (201) 447- 4635 or Cowie at (201) 873-8919. Selections to the list are based on three criteria: historic significance and architectural integrity; the critical nature of the threat identified, and the likelihood that inclusion on the list will have a positive impact on efforts to protect the endangered building. Sites were nominated by residents of the state, with a final decision being made by the board members of Preservation NJ. Two other Bergen County sites are on this year’s list: the Atwood-Blauvelt Mansion at 699 Kinderkamack Road in Oradell, a 19th century mansion currently in foreclosure and threatened by proposed development; and the Zabriskie Tenant House at 273 Dunkerhook Road in Paramus, an 18th century stone house and former AfricanAmerican tenant house threatened with demolition. Eagle projects (continued from page 8) made of recycled plastic had been installed at East Park some years ago, but those tables were very heavy, and suffered from vandalism. Michalski said he would secure the tables to the trees and could easily replace the woodchips in the event of a flood. Councilman John Mongelli recommended that the Scout speak with Jeff Pattman, who is the department of public works’ superintendent of roads, buildings, and grounds. Randall added that the DPW sometimes has an abundance of woodchips. Michalski is also proposing a sign for the site, which he had planned to make 20 feet high. “I don’t think anyone will read it,” Mongelli said. Michalski said the sign could be installed at a lower height, possibly at 15 feet, and explained that his goal is to deter vandalism. “Any time we add to a public space it’s all to the common good,” Councilwoman Maryellen Lennon told Michalski. The council approved both Scouts’ projects subject to the boys’ receipt of other related approvals from other committees/ agencies, and Mayor Randall signed the related materials. Both Eagle candidates were asked to return to the council with additional plans and details regarding their respective projects.
