Resident city hall and wins By CHERYL MOULTON HEHL THE CHRONICLE Mary Jankowitz used to think you can't fight city hall, but not anymore. It all started when Mrs. Jankowitz, with time on her meter, re^ ceived a ticket on Walnut Avenue in Cranford.

Mr. White informed het she had been feeding the meter._ Even more confused rjpw.hiShe" pressed Mr. 'White to explain hpW she could be feediini; .the rjrtet#: |«r two hours when she had been at a meeting in the library and parked there in the free parking lot brary. The meetings run a little longer than an hour. On the day in question, Mrs. Jankowitz left the library around noon and drove to the Jumble Store, where her friend later met her. When the women left the store less than an hour later, both their cars were ticketed Mr. White insisted she had been parked on Walnut Avenue (near South Avenue) and although the two were in a shouting match, little was accomplished. He also insisted that he had marked the tires of Mrs. Jankowitz's car. portqered the encounter and the circumstances aurroiiildirlg the ticket and decided to have her day j — in court When • her case came before Every Thursday morning, Mrs. Cranford Municipal Judge James Jankowitz and her friend attend a Bell, Mrs. Jankowitz brought documeeting at Cranford Public l i (Please turn to page A-5) Appeal to state restores funds to school budget By CHERYL MOULTON HEHL THE CHRONICLE The state commissioner of education has restored $164,979 to the Cranford school budget, but he upheld the $247,i~4S reduction of school expenses imposed by the Township Committee in the wake of a budget defeat in April. The decision by Commissioner John ttllk emanated from a rare appeal by the local school board to the state Department of Education. The restoration brings the total reduction back to the $441,127 made by the municipal government and challenged by the school board. Schools Superintendent Robert Paul said the judgment was "a good decision" that restored money in crucial areas. These include the funding for the position of supervisor of curriculum, custodial overtime, monies needed to cut grass, legal fees, and a badly needed school courier position, he said. The decision differs from a board proposal made to the township in May by only $29,000, he said. "It's too bad that the Board of Education was forced into a position of having to appeal the budget," said Mr. Paul. The additional $29,000 not restored by the commissioner "will be difficult to meet because we are still in an extremely tight budget situation," the superintendent said. The post-election debate over cuts in the $26.6 million school budget generated heated meetings between the Township Committee and school board that resulted in a stalemate. The committee would not be dissuaded by pleas from board members, and certified a reduced school tax levy of $19 million for 1991 to the county tax office. The committee denied the reductions would impair the board's ability to provide a thorough and efficient education for its students, or have an effect on the board's ability to carry out mandated functions. After analyzing line items in the budget, the board consented to comply with $247,148 of^the^re^ ductiohs recommendecTby the gov- erning body. The board said the district neede$ the ftinds, to provide township students with a thorough and efficient- system of public schools. It appealed to_ the education; commissioner after county Superintendent Vito Gagliardi was not able to work out a compromise. This was the second consecutive year that Mr. Gagliardi negotiated between township and board. But it was the first time in many years, if ever, that the board took its case to Trenton. Cuts restored included the supervisor of instruction position for $74,886, held by Francis Lucash. While the township committee maintained the position was another layer of unneeded administration, the commissioner of education found the position is "necessary as utilized in the district" The controversial position of courier, at $22,324 per year, was also upheld based on a review of the job description provided by Mr. Paul. Other reductions restored include legal fees of $6,501, salaries for overtime custodians, $24,560; salaries for grass cutting maintenance on weekends, $13,031; and contracted services for renovations, $23,677. The Union County Board of Taxation was directed to add $164,979 to the local tax levy for the Township of Cranford. The reduction of $441,127 from the school budget would have trimmed 2.7 tax points from residential assessments. The 1991-92 budget, defeated by voters in April, would have raised taxes by 12 points or an average of $211; per residence. Township Finance Director Tom Grady said the decision will not affect taxpayers for the 1991-92 tax season but it will for 1992-93. He said he could not determine what the increase would be for taxpayers until the Township Committee resolves the 1992 budget early in 1992. The budget, as submitted by the board, would have required $19.6 million in taxes to run the local school district. not $6,000. .Of the $4,762 figure, he said $2,730 was spent for rooms, $400 on convention entrance fees and $1,632 on the township dinner. He further reported the township had eliminated gas mileage, meals and Other expenses from the trip, which those attending had been reimbursed for in previous years. Mr. Force said the convention was three days of learning and interacting with other officials, learning about new laws and new products. The entire trip, said Mr. Force, cost the average taxpayer 65 cents and had "no impact on the 1992 budget since the monies came out of the 1991 budget" • Mr. Aschenbach,-who had tried unsueeess-fully to interrupt several times but was quieted by the mayor, interjected saying, "Did you go? v to which Mr. Force responded, "Yes." Mr. Aschenbach was referring to the fact Mr. Force had opted early in the year to not run for a third three-year term, and will leave the Township Committee Jan 1. ; The mayor continued his statement saying one employee, Judy Mazur, a building department employee and scribe for both the township Planning Board and Board of Adjustment, was asked by the League pi Municipalities to give a 20-minute speech at the convention on several major applications before the township boards in the last year-. He also said one Planning Board member went to the convention at a personal cost of" $294 in order to attend the seminars. \ - Foeusing-on-Mh Aschenbach's -referral t<5 the "dinner for the mayor" in the Nov. 21 article, Mr. Force said the accusation was a "blatant lie," and asked each governing body (Please turn to page A-5) 'Day of infamy' remembered By CHERYL MOULTON HEHL THE CHRONICLE Lawrence "Skip" Flanagan heard the bombs, saw great clouds of plack smoke, watched destroyers sink In the harbor like toys and carried away the bodies of over 50 man who were killed on his Ship.

The ship was half-manned, with most of the crew on shore leave when the loudspeaker sounded: "The Japanese are attacking Ford Island, all hands man your battle stations."

As Skip sped to his battle station the Helena was rocked by a torpedo In the forward engine room. The lights went out. Makinghis wayihrough the darkened ship, dodging fireballs flashing through the air ducts, his thoughts focused on the fact his battle station was stretcher duty.

Registered with the Cranford Historical Society, the elegant Dennis home on Central Avenue was built in 1883 in the Farmer's Greek Revival style by Louis Sapher. The home remained in the Sapher family until the late 1940's and in 1987 the Dennis' became the fifth owners. Its location is nestled on the Rahway River.' The barn behind the house is one of the home's original buildings. Previous owners remodeled and expanded the kitchen which uncovered a fireplace. In the front entry hall is a beautiful harp table; in the living room an exquisite needlepoint bench both made by Mrs. Dennis' paternal grandmother.

Domestic violence Was c<nce swept under the rug, too. Many people have looked upon both problems as social in nature, but awareness of the physical aWd mental'abuse involved has brought both harassment and qomestic violence under the criminal codes. At the impetus of Women's groups in and outside of the state government over the piast 14 years, violence is now getting much more attention. And Union County Prosecutor Drew Ruotolo is making a Stronger and faster response to offenses even as the state government has rhoved to expand protection of the law., One result* local police ate handling more cases. I Before advocacy efforts were launched in Trenton, female victims felt stigmatized and were inhibited in reporting their abuse. Efforts by the New Jersey Coalition for Battered Women and _ cithers anxious to end violence in the family have undoubtedly increased the reporting of the crime. Battery cuts across all classes, and nobody should be surprised that the number of incidents is growing in suburbia. But the figures fluctuate. For example, Cranford had 46 reports in 1988, 69 in 1989 and dropped 3b percent last year. Kenilworth has been steady with 46 reports in 1988, 44 in 1989,40 in 1990. Garwood had 36 in 1988,20 in 1989, 29 last year. Dr. Nancy-Marie Bride, who has been working an the problem as a counselor for a decade, mostly in Cranford, says the fact there was a decline last year isn't necessarily good rjews. The numbers aren't indicative of what's ciecurring in a tpwn, she says. In her view the decrease could mean that many incidents are going unreported. IJSensitivity to violence is expanding. The prosecutor's office is tiiking a closer look at the processing of offenders under restraining orders and making sure that criminal histories are available 1(1 court when a defendant faces judgment The policies are being revised. Policemen are being trained to handle the violence, which will extend to "former and present household members" beyond the traditional husband and wife, boyfriend and girlfriend ojr adult sibling and parent In-service training for police officers i? being conducted. The attention to enforcement, coupled with expansion of the law scheduled this fall, marks an important step forward. It can't come too soon. Dr. Bride has estimated that at l*ast one in four families in this area have experienced some kind of domestic violence. There has been progress, but social altitudes, particularly among men, have been slow to change. revention will succeed when society says violent behavior in the Dme is not acceptable, when people say no, this not how we it to behave. outh soccer program won't provide much talent for CHS T» The C\u-onicle: $ feel compelled to write this letter, after having read the article on thp Cranford High School girls' soccer team in the Nov. 27 issue of T\]e Chronicle. I'm directing this lq^ter to both Coach Tom Stagich a^d the Cranford Soccer Club. iJCoach Stagich rightfully "looks toward additional skill coming fyom the lower grades." He refers to "the large soccer program in town" and hopes the high school "pecomes the beneficiaries of their hjard work." He says that while the "I own has always been supportive 0" field hockey at the lower levels aid that has paid off...soccer will now get its due and in two or three years we should be challenging for county honors." jWell, Coach Stagich, I regret to s(>y it, but I think you're likely to bfe disappointed in a couple of ypars. I am referring to the state of affairs of the girls' traveling soccer tiam for players born in 1978 and j / This team underwent a major alteration in composition during the pist season — going from an allCranford team through the spring o' 1991, to one which ended the fall 1 )91 season with 11 Cranford girls, s x girls from Clark and one from Vrinfield Park. I need not rehash tine circumstances surrounding the bad feelings left with Coach Jerry F ichards' rejection of three longtime members of the team along M ith several other Cranford players M ho tried out when he put together tl iis amalgamated team last June. At the end of this fall 1991 sea- son, seven of these \ 1 Cifanford girls quit the team. Several have said they will never play soccer again. Of the four Cranford girls remaining on the team, only one is a potential Cranford High School soccer player (two will be attending private schools and the third is moving to another town). My purpose in writing this letter is to ask a few questions: First, should it hot be the policy of the Cranford Soccer d u b to encourage the opportunities for Cranford youth to play the game of soccer and to promote Cranford soccer teams? The Soccer Club was fully aware of the extent of unhappiness among_the_parents of this.team. Why didnt they keep a closer watch on the situation? Why was Coach Richards permitted to add another out-of-town player to the team a month before the season ended? Finally, is it not a primary purpose (and if it is not a purpose, then, perhaps, it should be) of the Soccer Club to be a feeder for Cranford High School soccer teams? Maybe it is time for the high school coaches to take a more active interest in the upcoming talent for their teams. It is my hope that, in the future, there will be greater emphasis placed on developing cooperation and communication between the various factions of, not only soccer, but all other sports played for the township and for the school. Perhaps another hemorrhage such as this can be successfully avoided. KAREN PLAT? 21 Hamilton Ave, To The Chronicle: ' I was shocked when I read the Nov. 21 issue of The Chronicle where the front page story reported how a group of 19 municipal officials and employees took a trip to Atlantic City for a dinner to be held for outgoing Mayor Ed Force. As a Cranford taxpayer,.! found this to be outrageous, excessive and downright criminal! I wish to thank Dan Aschenbach for trying to stop such a fiasco, but unfortunately his efforts were to no avail. How can the governing body justify such spending when, during the hard times we are now in, there is news of possible lay-pfEs of municipal employees? Also, with the list of local people who are" in need of our assistance growing, don't you think that this $6,000 would have bought a lot of turkeys^ to help feed them? VIOLENCE It was also recently reported that Cranford is rated below many of Essential services must be maintained Let's take care of problems that are harming Cranford To The Chronicle: Every week I read The Chronicle with interest and concern as to what is going on in Cranford And I read the daily paper for news of what is occurring in the world and of importance to us as a nation. The Chronicle of Nov. 21 stirred my adrenalin to make some observations with which some may agree, others differ. I am one of many "senior citizens" residing here and have done so since 1951. As a lifelong resident of Union County with a wife whose family dates back to the 1600s in Cranford, I remember.,the I'Venicei of New Jersey" in its heyday andCranford as an address ,of which one could be proud. What, has gone; wrong and how do we correct it? On the national level, let's eliminate the unwanted and expensive bombardment of dunning letters received daily from sundry sweepstakes, charities, religious groups, politicos and, worst of all, Political Action Committees. I could handle my own garbage if it weren't for junk mail. But let's stick to Cranford. First page, edition of Nov. 21, the appeal of the Cranford Family Care Association. As a past president of this smaU jmd very worthwhile organization, I would urge every citi- zen who can afford his own turkey to buy one for someone less fortunate. Charity begins at home. Page 4, Commentary, "Surplus eggs" may dwindle but this makes it mandatory that the allocation of monies be apportioned for the greatest benefit of all in the community. This means full support of our critical services, police, fire, schools, first aid squad, street maintenance, etc. Downtown beautification and trips to conventions are window dressing which can be curtailed. While I am a firm believer in freedom of choice with whom one associates socially or invites into1 his own home, racial prejudice and discrimination in tax supported organizations and institutions is intolerable. Lastly, and perhaps least from all comments I hear, parking in Cranford is a joke. It seems that the ticketing officer is a wizard who appears magically as the meter goes click. No wonder people favor the malls where you can park for free. Let's hope that the incumbent town officials will administer available funds in a manner which can restore the pride in Cranford that our older residents revere. HENRY M.S3LAUSON JR. 415 Casino Ave. Holiday season is off to festive start To The Chronicle: On behalf of the Cranford Chamber of Commerce and its retail division, I want to thank all those who participated in last weekend's holiday events. This year the Chamber of Commerce, together with its retail members, began the holiday season with horse and buggy rides in the downtown area, which lasted for four hours and will be repeated on Dec. 14, between the hours of 11 a.m. and 3 pjn. Following the horse and buggy rides, the township and the chamber held the annual holiday tree lighting ceremony which saw over 1,000 residents turn out for the celebration and the official arrival of Santa Claus. Our special thanks go to the Cranford High Brass Band and the Madrigal Singers for providing entertainment We also want to thank Nelson Bilger, the police auxiliaries, the police, fire, and public works department, Mayor Force, Commissioner Bilger, and Commissioner-elect Hoeffler for their participation and attendance. The final event of the four-day holiday weekend was photographs with Santa Claus, which will again be held on Sunday, Dec. 8, at Eastman Plaza from 1 to 3 p.m. Lastly, we urge support of Cranford Family Care in their canned food drive to help those who are in need. Canned food can be brought directly to the offices in the basement of the Municipal Building and it is particularly important in light of the recession. PAUL T. LACORTE President, Chamber of Commerce To The Chronicle: ; I read with concern the article in The Chronicle on Nov. 7 regarding potential methods of reducing the town's budget Many of the proposed budget reductions appeared to simply be a shifting of essential services from within the tax base to outside of the tax base in order to limit the tax rate increase. I believe this is performing a severe disservice to township residents. A primary function of government is to provide those services which the municipal enterprise can perform more efficiently and economically than the constituents can perform themselves or obtain from ttther available sources. Services such as leaf collection must To The Chronicle: I want to clear up a misunderstanding which I'm sure Mr* Force will not) appreciate.! reporter, 1 asked; Jor ments on my.views.orxthe dinner in. Atlantic. City. I didn't comment that the dinner was held by others for the outgoing mayor. I stated the dinner was held for Mayor Force, meaning for him, by him. Mr. Force wanted the dinner, he signed the voucher to pay for it; regardless of concern raised about it After I brought my concerns about this dinner to the Township Committee's attention at two public meetings, Mayor Force's comment was, "Does anyone else have anything else to discuss." He didn't say anything about accountability or maybe we 'should reduce the numbers of people going. He said, "Next item."

The speakers were later recovered at two separate locations on Center Street, police said. Separately, a Fourth Avenue resident last Thursday reported finding a suitcase containing cosmetic appliances. underneath a stairwell behind Innovations Hair Design on South Avenue. Authorities said the suitcase, which is .being stored at police headquarters, contained among other things, a hair dryer and curling iron. "The stuff may be junk," said Sgt Dennis Lesak.

Over the past several years, .the chapel has been rebuilt and entirely refurbished. Major support of this effort has come from Drs. Gen and Robert Galen, and their friends and family, in memory of their wife and mother, Sylvia Galen. Objects within the chapel have been endowed by many other members and friends of the temple. Also dedicated on Sunday is a cabinet used to house prayer shawlsa, head coverings and pther ritual objects. This cabinet, dedicated to the memory of Mickey Katcher, has been created through donations from Alice and Andrea Katcher, Richard Gross, and many friends of the late Mr. Katcher. The doors of the cabinet are decorated with a sculpture by Mr. Gross, Mr. Katcher's brother-in-law, executed in a variety of woods and featuring the Western Wall in Jerusalem. Ceremonies . on Sunday will begin at 3 p.m. with a reception for major donors in the rededication drive. The celebration continues with afternoon and evening services starting at 4 p.m., includingparticipation by members of the Beth-El Religious School, the lighting of the Hanukkah menorahs for the last night of Hanukkah, and the presentation of certificates of appreciation to donors of major objects in the chapel. The ceremonies will be led by Rabbi Ronald Hoffberg, assisted by Cantor Ralph Nussbaum. Following the ceremonies the evening will conclude with a gala Hanukkah party for all, featuring the traditional foods of the holidays: fried potato pancakes (latkes) and doughnuts (sufganiyot).

Diminutive fullback James Mitchell (5-9, 160) burned the Roselle Park defense for 117 rushing yards last weekend, while halfback John LeBlanc (61,180) added 104. Lakers' quarterback Steve DuPont (6-0, 165) also had a big day against the Panthers as he ran the Mountain Lakes Wing-T to perfection. A talented runner and passer, DuPont connected on a 95-yard touchdown strike to Mark Ahlemeyer.

With the season hating ended last month, Felner will spend the next few weeks checking the condition ot' his 1983 automobile which gets about ten miles to the gallon. "We pick up the cost of the car by ourselves, and I want to do this for as long as I can afford it," the 35-year-old Felner said.

Those who get a lot done are usually organized, and those who are organized usually get a lot done, we hear. A member of the National Association of Professional Organizers, advice from Tommie Bryan of Franklin Township starts with list making. "You can get really organized if you make lists," she insists. She separates the holiday activities into five groupsFgreeting cards, decorating, gifts, parties and food To that list of activities, add whatever else you have to consider, such as travel or reservations. Next, Ms. Bryan says, talk with your family and decide how much and what kind of entertaining you want to do. Here, planning backward is cruaaL You have to decide, or at least estimate, how muchtimeyou need for your activities," she says. "Fill in the calendar with the chores you need to do. Spread out the chores so you're not overwhelmed" To save time, Ms. Bryan suggests using printed/engraved greeting cards, ordering gifts by mail or phone and setting up separate centers (the dining room table or a card table) for addressing cards and wraopinggifts. For the holiday meal, Ms. Bryan says that keeping it simple is best "I prefer the tned and true redpes rather than new ones for this special day. I think it's easier to think in terms of two meals: big dinner and light supper." a w If „you're orgnni7pd, — - — • - — o» —••»—••••• » ..1H.UH.H.J,—;ymt-*CttU-tttHrttrWj3\IO.

As you can see from what is selling (juice extractors, bread makers, etc.), the trend to healthy living seems as strong as ever. The Fitness Store, 3417 Route 27, Franklin Park, has just about everything you need to firm a healthy body. Owner Sue Raja expects stair climbers to be a hit this holiday season. Moderately priced (about $250), the stair climber is frequently used by people recovering from knee surgery. It is also ideal for those who want good cardiovascular systems, as you can readily monitor your pulse after a workout on the stair climber. Furthermore, people who have no time to walk can use the stair climber for about 15 minutes and achieve the same effects they would if they took a good, long walk. The Fitness Store carries several major brands of stair climbers, Ms. Raja added. Other popular items, she predicted, will be treadmills, exercise bikes, home gyms and pulse monitors.

The talk is free and open to the public.

Adoration of the Magi will also be the subject of a gallery talk for children on Saturday, Dec. 22, at 11 a.m. For the children, however, Mrs. Grey said the focus will be somewhat different "I am going to show them real frankincense and myrrh.

Oi Weekend! o Film capsules Ashes* to ashes Addamses remain TV-sized on the big screen By STEVEN HART WeekendPlus Editor i Addams Family gets off to a perfeetstart with a shot directly lifted from one of Charles Addams' old New Yorker cartoons — the one in which the jolly ghouls are preparing to pour a cauldron of boiling oil on a group of Christinas carolers. By the end of the film, however, you might want to do the same thing to the filmmakers. Actually, The Addams Family isn't the kind of failure that merits the hot oil treatment It's nothing The jolly ghouls of The Addams Family line up to greet Uncle Fester: They're creepy, kooky, like Hudson Hawk or The Bonfire mysterious, spooky, etc. of the Vanities; movies that left you wanting to burn down the studio and sow the ground with salt It's the to-date special effects, is oddly endearing; Christina Ricci is a real find kind of irritating dud that ropes you in with a good trailer — The as Wednesday, the Addams' young sadist-in-training. When Gomez and Addams Family had a great trailer — and a terrific cast how could a Morticia gaze at each other with bedroom eyes and start trading S&M movie with Raul Julia as Gomez, Anjelica Huston as Morticia and love talk, you get an inkling of what this flick might've been like had Christopher Lloyd as Uncle Fester miss the mark? Even the supporting the story and characters been given a chance to fill out the big screen. players, such as Den Hedaya, are perfectly cast Yet miss The Addams Yet not only does The Addams Family stay TV-tube size, its idea of Family does. outrageousness is firmly rooted in the mid-€0s, when John Astin's A story wouldVe helped.

First-time director Barry Sonnenfeld (he was the cinematographer on the first three Coen Brothers movies, as well as long-lost Uncle Fester — is just a thin, frayed string holding together little one-joke scenes. A few of them are wonderful: Fester and Gomez Misery) keeps the pacing at the tube's 30-minutes-with-commercials dancing to "Mamushka," the Addamses doggedly sitting through a cute- pace, which doesn't play very well over about 90 minutes of screen sy school play. CThere's a quick sight gag involving a train commuter time. The Addams Family is just too tame, too thin and too repetitious. the old cartoonist wouldVe liked.)

The title of Backdraft (MCA/ Universal) refers to an almostextinguished fire that comes back with spectacular force when given a shot of oxygen; the film's dawdling storyline concerns a series of backdraftrelated deaths that appear to be linked, This storyline has to share screed time with acting that fe strictly the stuff of TV ~movies~and~Coors beer corn1-" ~~~ mercials. Even Robert De Nino, playing a gruff fire inspector, cant do much with the tinny script Donald Sutherland has a great; creepy cameo as a legendary arsonist; a Hannibal Lecter amongfirebugs,who refers to fire as "the animal."

For the closing set, the Singers will draw upon a prodigious repertoire ranging from folk songs and spirituals to standard evergreens and contemporary pop numbers.

Paige, Paige and Richards celebrate 30th anniversary Realtors more aware of 'world neighborhood' Don't show a Chinese family-a home whose front door faces a street leading away — they'll fear their wealth will flow out Don't send chrysanthemums to Italians as a housewarming gift. That's the flower they use at funerals. If negotiations on a house go too long, expect an Indian family to drop them. Lengthy wrangling shows "it wasn't meant to be." "Do's and taboos" is the name of this seminar and Burgdorff Realtors offered it on Oct. 24, United Nations Day. Associates from throughout Burgdorff s 30 office territories in New Jersey and Pennsylvania assembled at corporate headquarters in Murray Hill. There a panel of foreign-born Borgdorff salespeople gave the insider's look at their culture. The presentation is fascinating and often humorous. Burgdorff Director of Training Sue Smith, who originated the seminar, leads with an anecdote on cultural relativity: An American family accompanied their Chinese friend to a cemetery where he left fresh fruit at the grave site. "When do you expect your ancestors to get up and eat your fruit?" they asked. "When your ancestors get up to smell your flowers," he replied. With a global economy, the world is in fact becoming our neighbor, "To a greater variety of companies, global operations have become essential to survive The international relocation of senior officers has mounted substantially In the past five years, accounting now for 10 percent of all moves. We must be prepared to care for thelFspeclal needs' and succeed," said Burgdorff Relocation Manager Barbara DeMaio. "The international relocation of senior officers has mounted substantially in the past five years, accounting now for 10 percent of all moves. We must be prepared to care for their special needs." Burgdorff Realtors has some 75 associates who, combined, comprise a fluency pool of 26 languages including deaf sign language. The need for salesperson flexibility is a given. For years, Burgdorff has taught Interaction Style Analysis for insight into personality styles and appropriate responses. "For Indians, there are propitious days and hours for something like signing a contract, but there's always a remedial prayer if the clock reads wrong," explains Triveni Guriker of the Denville office. "The Irish are easygoing, talkative, joking," notes Mary O'Keefe of the Wesfield office. "But don't underestimate them. After an hour you won't know anything more than they want you to know — they're qtlite shrewd." "You can be warm, friendly, talkative to Hispanics," says Cuban native Ramon Torres of the Hoboken office. "But it you're a man, watch the eye contact with the wife. Hispanic men are very jealous." The seminar's panel also included Helen Chen of the Maplewood office, Joanne Mancici of the Warren office, and Kimiko Miller of the Ridgewood office.

Introduced three years ago as a 1990 model, the Lejfcus nameplate made its debut wjth the LS 400,, an Upscale V8-pdw«?e<i luxury four-door sedan sold through dealerships completely separated from the Toyota badge. However, for a dealer to make it in tms most competitive of market conditions, it is necessary to have wore than one model. To fill this/niche, the ES 250 was quickly /developed. Although it generated favorable sales, it was little more/than a gussiedup, but very acceptable Toyota Camry. Earlier this year, a new Lexus sport co^rpe, the SC 400, made the scene #nd received favorable reviews but Lexus management felt that' it needed a new model to repla<je the ES 250 in the low end of the luxury market From the start the ES 300 was designed as a Ltjxas, and while it will again share its platform and power train with tlje top-of-the-line new Camry, the body design, suspension and appointments are strictly for Lexus luxury. Many of the amenities found in the 400 series are now included in the new ES 300 sedan to assert its luxury class status. APPEARANCE! The new ES 300 features smooth and rounded contours, with a long sloped hood and high upswept rear deck, and a cabin featuring firameless windows and small "B" pillars- for that "hardtop" look. Bright trim highlights the windows, while plastic cladding covers the lower body below the beltline for parking lot protection. In front is a slim hbrizontaLgrjlle and a lower air intake. The unusual headlights are behind clear covers and theyiook and perform like spotlights. COMFORT: Even though the ES 300 is an "entry level" luxury car, nothing in the way of convenience has been omitted. The only options on our test model were leather upholstery, CD player and glass sunroof. Among the standard items are a tilt steering wheel with air bag, high fidelity AM/FM/cassette sound system, a quiet and efficient climate control unit, cruise control* remote locking and power operated front seats, windows, locks, mirrors, and fuel door and trunk releases. The trunk is huge and has a lockable pass-through The 1992 Lexus for long items. All controls are easy to reach and use, and seating is roomy all-around. ; ROADABILITY: The ES 300 provides a well-balanced ride with some of the softness of luxury combined with the firmness of a sporting suspension that gives it good manners on,aU>1fiortsi.of-roads and driving conditions'. This is due to a combination of an updated fully independent suspension design, ABS and four-wheel disc brakes, Goodyear Eagle GA P205/ 65R15 touring tires and speeddependent Variable power steering. It is quiet on the road and vision is excellent PERFORMANCE: The ES 300 is powered by an extensively reworked 3.0 liter, 24-valve, double overhead cam, V6 that develops 185 horsepower. It is the old ,25 liter model with a longer bore, variable intake valving, increased compression and improved fuel injec- • tion among other things.

Mr. Chapman built one car for himself and his machine immediately won the first two events he entered. He put these diversions aside and continued with his studies. After a short stint in the RAF, he worked for British Aluminum as an industrial designer and operated Lotus Engineering (the name part time_ mud-running days) out of the back yard garage of his wife-to-be. Then, according to a Chapman biography, he had a stroke of good fortune: his prototype MarkLJL model was completely destroyed on its way to a race late in the year. It was fortunate in that the little car was completely insured and the pay-off saved Chapman and the Lotus from insolvencyChapman had a genius for doing things the simple but efficient way. He was the acknowledged pioneer of the "kit car" business, an industry which sells vehicles in a knocked-down or "kit" form to be assembled by the buyer. The Mark 7 (another stark quasi-race car) has become a legend and was far advanced and technically superior to anything in its day. It was so outstanding that when Lotus Engineering went out of the kit car business in 1973, the manufacturing rights were sold to Chaterham Cars limited and is made almost in its original form to this day.

The results and recommendations of the School Budget Advisory Committee (SBAQ were introduced to the Board of Education this week after three months of intensive evaluation. Overall, the report recommended it was time to take a "fresh look" at.each school, teachers' salaries* pupil to teacher ratio, and other expenses that could be pared for considerable ta* savings. . The SBAC is comprised of residents.with extensive private sector experience and knowledge in the areas of': accounting, finance and general management Formed in the same fashion as the Citizens Budget Advisory Committee (CBAQ last year, "Which analyzed and evaluated the 1991 municipal budget, the SBAC provided the board with cost-saving guidelines without cost to taxpayers. Town employees warned about layoffs in January By CHERYL MOULTON HEHL THE CHRONICLE As the year draws to an end, the township's fiscal outlook appears bleak; with officials saying layoffs may be necessary to weather the "serious and difficult times (which) lay ahead." Township employees received a letter explaining the cause of the fiscal stress and saying that up to 15 employees could be laid off by Jan. 1 if $664,000 ii* not cut from the 1992 budget The cause r explains the letter from the Township Committee, comes from several sources, First, the township will start 1992 with $402,722 less in revenues. This shortfall is due to less cash at year end and to losses in state and local revenues. - Second, the state legislature adopted a new municipal budget cap law that reimposes the rule that expenditures cannot grow more than 5 percent in any one year and also discontinues most of the exceptions the township used in 1990 and earlier. The township can increase its spendi g i l 9 9 2 b J ^^ t Qp b ^^a a 7 3 3 l ^ .

For Cranford this exemption'was significant Health insurance costs have increased from $615,950 in, 1990 to $912,331. in 1991 to $1.3 million in 1992, an increase $400,517 for 1992. More significantly, wage increases and other mandatory expenditures outside the control of the township have "imposed substantial additional expenses." In anticipation of the 1992 budget process, the township took an "unprecedented action" by not filling several positions after they were vacated. Not filled were a secretarial position in the administrative office, the fire captain's position upon promotion of Arthur Kiarnie to fire chief, the police captain, position upon promotion Of Harry Wilde to police chief, and the firefighter and police officer positions upon retirement of Wesley DitzelSr. and PeterVergalla. -• —--The letter states that the township, because of the severity of the fiscal (Please turn to page A-5) A memorial judge and dvio leader, has ' been dadteated in the borough y a^tad.

Brooksiders add own creations to library By CHERYL MOULTON HEHL THE CHRONICLE Concerts due Horse power How are the children taking to the pioneer project of process writing? Very seriously. At Brookside School fourth-graders already have written books, and copies are available in the school library for all pupils to enjoy. The children's books are of varying lengths, and all are illustrated with drawings. Books such as All about Cars and Jets, by fourth-grader David Richardson, Prehistoric Monsters by Ryan Helmstetter, The Chipmunk in the Library by Ted Hickey, or a historic piece by Michael Cila titled George Washington, are catalogued by school librarian Sylvia Reichman and treated like any other book. According to Mrs. Reichman the children are intrigued by the work of their peers, checking out these books as frequently as regular ones. Process writing is an ongoing daily project at Brookside, taken seriously by students who are scheduled for 20-minute segments of reading or creative writing in the lobby of the school. A special table and chairs with a lamp, books and writing supplies create the setting for creative writing and reading. One story, Submarines, by fourth-grader Brian Harnos, was written during one of these periods: "Submarines are very cooL The good part is that they can stay under water for a very long period^time.-The-good part is the helicopter- can pick up little submarines. Some little subs can come out from a carrier because you can jump off in the water and go diving off a carrier. If you are on a sub you can go diving off a certain part of a sub." Brian's story was only a rough draft, but he was very proud of his work and was contemplating extending the story. Teachers were trained in process writing last year by a language arts consultant who returned this fall to train parents. This innovative method of teaching writing encourages an interactive classroom, said Francis Lucash, supervisor of curriculum for the Cranford school system. The program emphasizes the belief that all children can write and that writing is an ever-changing process. A key ingredient in the implementation of process writing is the development of a classroom climate conducive to writing, sensitivity to students' writing, the need to let students communicate and write spontaneously throughout the day and, finally, publication of students' best works. Also stressed is the importance of literature as a part of writing and the communication arts process. For kindergarten through sixth-grade the process involves five stages: pre-writing or exploration and expansion of a pupil's knowledge; drafting, when the sequence is developed; revision, when clarification of meaning occurs and interaction with teachers and peers take place; editing stage, when examination of the mechanics of the written work are checked; and finally, the publishing stage when the finished product is shared with teachers and peers. The published document may be presented orally, they can be handwritten or typed (Please turn to page A-6) Gill janitor accused of sexual assault An employee of the Gill Apartments has been ac- Sgt Eric Mason, Detective William Peters and Deteccused of second degree sexual assault against a 56- tive Edward Zarzecki. year-old resident of the senior citizen unit Police Chief Harry Wilde said the department is Police said the assault took place in the victim's "extremely vigilant when it comes to senior citizens bedroom at 3 a.m. on a night in late August and that and is sensitive to crimes against our seniors."
