From the Greater Paramus News and Lifestyle Magazine |  Local 164 Electricians Donate Time and More Than $18,000 to Upgrade Field House
High school football season is in full swing, and the Hackensack High School Comets have been rebuilding this past summer – both their team and their field house at Thomas Della Torre Field. While legendary coach Mike Miello has returned to restore the team to its historical glory, members of IBEW Local 164 donated more than $18,000 in materials and skilled electrical services to update the Field House.
The electrical system has been upgraded in preparation for the team’s upcoming home games against St. Joseph’s, Watchung Hills, Eastside and long-time rival Teaneck.
Pictured with Comet players and head coach Miello (center, kneeling) are (counter clockwise, standing) Richard Dressel, Local 164 business manager; electrician Billy Jones; Barry Hammond, the local’s outreach coordinator; Rick Hammond, an electrical volunteer; David Milazzo, Jr., Local 164’s assistant electrical training director; and Elaine Lampe, an electrical apprentice.
Miello served as Hackensack’s head football coach from 1970 – 75 and as an assistant in 1968 and 1969. He guided the team to the state and league finals. Career highlights also include head or assistant coaching positions at William Paterson University, Rutgers University and Ramapo High School. | |
