PASSAIC -- Crews on Friday dismantled what authorities are calling a major counterfeit trademark operation, moving in cranes to remove heavy equipment used in the manufacture of phony clothing labels and fake embroidered icons.

Kim, 52, of Ridgefield on a counterfeit trademark charge, authorities said. Police suspect he ran assembly lines that affixed high-end name-brand logos, such as Ralph Lauren and Gucci, to generic or flawed shirts, jeans and jackets.

My typical weekday morning consists of either an hour of getting ready, or a hasty 20 minutes of throwing on a sweat shirt and running out the door. This fashion dichotomy dominates high school hallways today: There are overworked students who choose to be comfortable, and there are those who decide to make a statement with their clothing choices.
Most students alternate between these two trends day to day, but overall, most adults would probably be surprised at the uniformity of dress at a typical public high school. Girls tend to wear name- brand tops with LVLX pants or jeans with Uggs or Converse, with the variation only in the color of the boots or style of the top. Boys typically wear sweat shirts with jeans or a generic T-shirt. While individuality does still exist, it is just eas...

Children expect gifts at the holiday. Economics -- global, national or family -- just doesn't enter their thought process. For younger children, there is no realistic way to do away with gifts completely. For older children, there can be a more realistic expectation after you have a fact-based talk with them. Perhaps one modestly priced gift that they really want is the most realistic.
If you are shopping for your children, or taking them shopping for gifts for others, consider looking at charitable and private resale stores. You may be surprised what you find there. I have gotten brand-name clothes, some with the original tags, for a fraction of their original cost. A Levi Strauss jeans jacket for my grandson for $4 and a Land's End dress for my niece for $3, just to name a few. Toys, ...

DEAR MILLIE B.: After several soaks, my new pair of jeans are still covered with cat hair and lint. I've soaked them in vinegar, used hot and cold water, fabric softener -- all to no avail. Brushing does not faze them. Any advice would be appreciated. R.R., CLAYTON
Only the manufacturer may know the easy way to remove cat hair and lint. Have you asked the brand-name or manufacturer service? The shop where you bought the jeans should have a contact phone number with that brand. Or, the brand name is listed at the Dayton Metro Library (downtown) Telephone Reference Center (227-9531).
