Carlo’s Bakery, Sen. Lautenberg team up on Super Bowl bet in Hoboken

NJ.com topics: bayonne — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 21:51:20 +0000

U.S. Senator Frank Lautenberg joined Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer this afternoon at Carlo's Bakery, home of "Cake Boss" Buddy Valastro, to pick up special New York Giants themed cake as part of a Super Bowl bet with fellow Democrat, John Kerry.

The hype of the impending matchup between the New York Giants and New England Patriots on Sunday just turned into a high-profile food fight.

U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg joined Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer this afternoon at Carlo's Bakery, home of "Cake Boss" Buddy Valastro, to pick up special New York Giants themed cake as part of a Super Bowl bet.

If the New York Giants win on Sunday, Lautenberg will send a special sheet-cake from Carlo's to Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts.

To counter Lautenberg's offer, Kerry has offered up none other than an infamous Boston Cream Pie if the New England Patriots win.

"Carlo's bakery is just the kind of successful New Jersey small business we look to support," Lautenberg said.

The youngest of the Valastro sisters, Lisa, let the senator taste samples of the different Giants-themed cakes Carlo's offers.

The smaller cakes in the shape of a football cost $29.95, while the larger cakes with an "NY" logo, which come in chocolate and vanilla, run at $44.95.

"It's been really busy as the weekend approaches. These Giants cakes are really starting to move," she said.

After choosing the right cake, the senator unveiled his prediction: The Giants will win by ten points, specifically by a touchdown and field goal.

Zimmer said she's rooting for Giants, but did not have any predictions yet as to what the final score may be.

When asked where he would want to see a possible victory parade, Lautenberg insisted while "New York should also partake in a celebration," he wants to see any victory parade in New Jersey.

Zimmer agreed that the Mile Square City would be an appropriate spot to hold a victory parade if the Giants win on Sunday.

"We'd be open to having a Giants parade here," she said.

Naming contest for baby tortoise at Liberty Science Center in Jersey City opens

The Liberty Science Center in Jersey City needs help naming its new baby redfoot tortoise.

The center is holding a contest to name the baby Geochelone carbonaria, which was hatched Jan. 20 and is now on display in the back animal care area of their Eat and Be Eaten exhibit.

"Although we have had tortoises...since 1996, we have never successfully bred them," they said on their Facebook page.

"Back in July 2011, a pair of our red-footed tortoises on exhibit laid a clutch of eggs. We removed them from the exhibit enclosure for incubation but out of the 4 eggs laid, only one was fertilized...Early on the morning of January 20, we were surprised to see a small opening in the egg," the page said.

The redfoot tortoise is currently about the size of a nacho chip and will grow slowly until it reaches the average adult size of about 12 to 15 inches, measured along the top of its shell.

Every day, the baby gets a salad of dandelion, other greens and a little bit of fruit.

The tortoise's gender is currently unknown. "As with many animals, it can be hard to tell whether an infant is male or female," said Director of Animal Husbandry Rich Weddle, who added that the shape of its bottom shell, or plastron, will help them determine its gender when it's older.

"We will not know its gender for at least 2 years, so people can be as creative as they like!" said spokeswoman Elizabeth Romanaux.

People can suggest names through the Liberty Science Center's Facebook page. Some of the suggestions so far include "Speedy, "Tori" and even "Beef Wellington."

The winner of the contest will get to hold the baby for a photo opportunity and receive a $25 gift certificate to the Liberty Science Center's store Connections. No purchase is necessary and the winner need not be present. The contest will end at Feb. 21 at 5 p.m. and the winner will be announced Feb. 24.

Marist shows off newfound chemistry in 74-46 drubbing of Union City in Bayonne

Cliffside Park transfer Manny Suarez building chemistry with new teammates

Follow @JJournalSports

Lauren Casselberry/The Jersey JournalMarist's Manny Suarez goes up for a shot during a game against Union City at Marist High School.

Since Manny Suarez joined the Marist lineup halfway through January, team chemistry has been on the rise at the Bayonne Catholic school.

At no time last night was that budding synergy more evident than when junior Devyn Ransom hooked up with the 6-foot-10 Suarez on a pair of momentum shifting, alley oop dunks during the first quarter of the Royal Knights' 74-46 mauling of Union City at Marist High School.

"When he first came, we didn't have any chemistry," Ransom said of Suarez, a Cliffside Park transfer who, as per state rules, sat out the first 30 days of the season.

"Manny joined us Jan. 15 because he was a transfer and we've been trying to get that teamwork down," said Marist coach Anthony Romano.

Union City's Sayvon Williams had the hot hand early, scoring 10 points in the first 2:06 of play to stake the visitors a 10-2 lead. But Marist (10-7) closed out the quarter with a 19-5 run, punctuated by the pair of electric exchanges between Ransom and Suarez.

In a half court set, Ransom sent a lob pass over several Union City defenders into the hands of a leaping Suarez, who slammed the ball home for a 16-12 lead.

"It comes down to what we preach in practice. We're always telling the kids to look for that play because it's a big momentum changer," Romano said.

As the Soaring Eagles brought the ball up court on the ensuing possession, Suarez came up with a steal, dished to Ransom and was then rewarded when his junior running mate delivered an arcing feed, which the newcomer converted in midair.

The hosts assumed complete control in the second quarter, when they outscored Union City 23-9 to take a commanding 44-24 lead at halftime.

Suarez, who was relegated to the bench in the fourth quarter with the game well in hand, had 16 points, while forward Andrew Martinez also finished with 16 points. Ransom had a team-high 17 points, including eight in the decisive second quarter. Union City's Williams led all scorers with 19 points.

The Royal Knights, who topped Snyder on Tuesday, will look to build upon their growing chemistry and nab their first three-game winning streak of the season Tuesday when they return to action against Dickinson.

"All it takes is time and practice," said Suarez.

Marist 74: Suarez 8-0-0-16, Elder 2-0-0-4, Ransom 8-0-1-17, Martinez 7-0-2-16, Jones 1-0-2-4, Walsh 1-1-0-5, Black 1-0-0-2, Smith 2-0-0-4, Cuttino 0-0-2-2, Alvarez 1-0-0-2, White 1-0-0-2. Totals: 32-1-7-74.
Union City 46: Williams 3-4-1-19, Timpone 3-0-1-7, Agurto 0-1-0-3, Brando 2-0-0-4, Saleh 1-0-0-2, Planes 0-1-0-3, Wood 0-2-0-6, Sanchez 1-0-0-2. Totals: 10-8-2-46.

Union City (6-13) 15 9 10 12 -- 46

Unit moving to college
The New Jersey Meadowlands Commission (NJMC) and Bergen Community College announced an economic growth partnership that will move the NJMC Business Accelerator to the college.

The move will give Accelerator clients opportunities to grow their businesses through access to educational and training resources available in a college environment.

The action helps create opportunities for economic growth and provides support services to small and emerging entrepreneurial businesses that may otherwise be unaffordable or inaccessible.

The Accelerator will move from its current office space on Chubb Avenue in Lyndhurst to the college's Lyndhurst campus one block away by the end of September.

Bergen Community will also maintain the Accelerator's identity by keeping the word Meadowlands in its yet-to-be-determined new name. The Commission will work closely with the college over the next eight months and provide staff support and resources to ensure a smooth transition that does not interrupt any services to Accelerator clients.

North Shore Animal League America will be offering same-day adoptions of cats, kittens, puppies and dogs in Bayonne this Sunday.

Based in Long Island, North Shore Animal League is the largest no-kill animal rescue and adoption organization in world.

The League’s same-day adoption event is scheduled for noon to 5 p.m. at Petland Discounts, 533 Broadway.

“Not everyone can make it to a local shelter or here to our headquarters, so we really want to be out in the community and bringing pets to potential adopters,” said Cara Taback, the League’s public relations director.

The animals up for adoption will have been spayed, neutered and vaccinated, Taback added.

Those interested in adopting should be prepared to offer several references, as background checks will be conducted on site.

The price to adopt an animal starts at $100.

“There are many beautiful and healthy animals in shelters and each animal adopted is a life saved,” Taback said.
