Page C-1, SCOTCH PLAINS — Just two months after the passing of Police Chief Mark Zyla, Scotch Plains has been shaken yet again by the sudden death of a public official. Douglas Hansen, the 61-year-old township attorney, died Friday morning at Muhlenberg Regional Medical Center in Plainfield after suffering a heart attack while shoveling snow outside his local law office. A veteran in the courtroom and council chambers with a lengthy record of volunteer work, Hunsen was remembered this week for his ioyalty, his intellectual curiosity and his steadfast commitment to public service. But those who worked with him said as much as he will be missed professionally, he will be missed even more personally, for his caring spirit and warm personality. "Doug was unique, and he is irreplaceable," said Councilwoman Paulette Coronato. "(He was) a wonderful, caring, magnanimous person.,. He genuinely loved people," "It was an absolute privilege to work with him, but a greater privilege just to be around him," said Councilman Frank Rossi. Hansen's absence hung over Tuesday's Township Council meeting. Mayor Martin Marks said some thought had been given to canceling the meeting, but with an agreement for the Heather Glen redevelopment project on the agenda — "something Doug put his heart and soul into over so many years" — the council decided to proceed. "He was a very likable and lovable guy who would go out of his way to do just about anything for you," Marks said. "His presence was felt every time he was in the room... There's an empty place in the room tonight."

Prieto said this week. The request comes following a recount held a few weeks ago that produced no change in results, with Democrat Tom Bigosinski still winning by just one vote. The race for the Fourth Ward was perhaps the closest council race in Westfield history, with Bigosinski beating Leuthold after absentee and provisional ballots were counted, 1,469 to 1,468. The election results were re-certified following the recount. Following the recount, Councilman Jim Foerst, who was then serving as a spokesman for Leuthold's campaign said, "In an election that's decided by one vote, obviously there's a heightened sense of scrutiny." Leuthold filed his latest challenge Dec. 8 because of questions about the residency status of three voters. The documents ask that "the clerk of the County of Union nnd the clerk of the town of" Westfield refrain from administering the Oath of Office to Thomas Bigosinski... that purported illegal voters be determined to be ineligible to have cast ballots in the November 8. 2005 election for Westfield town councilman... (and that) a new election be held within a reasonable time and upon reasonable notice to the respondents herein and the public at large." With new council members .scheduled to be sworn into office in just two and a half weeks, on Jan. 3, Prieto said a re-election would need to be hold quickly. "They'd have to get to this soon," he said. Leuthold will appear before a ing at Crescent Avenue Presbyterian Church in Plainfield. At the council meeting that night, Atkins spoke of Hansen's commitment to the law, to the taxpayers and to the town. "He never gave hia second-best. Everything was A-plus with Doug." "Part of the heart and soul of the town," Atkins said, "has been taken from us." A successful attorney and former judge, Hansen graduated from Rutgers University with a bachelor's degree in political science and public administration. He was a member of the National Political Science Honor Society and the National Honorary Music Fraternity at Rutgers.

Under the fact-finding process, a third party will review information submitted by both sides and issue a public report. To date, the two sides have been trying to reach a deal with the help of a mediator. "Both sides thought it would be helpful in fact-finding, with further mediation," said board president Linda Nelson. She described the meeting, which was scheduled to answer both parties' questions regarding health benefits, as "productive." Although Education Association President Barbara McGuane agreed the meeting was productive, she said the reason the process is moving to factfinding is because the teachers' union did not receive the answers it was seeking about insurance from the broker, '"I'm disappointed that things aren't going better," said McGuane. Of fact-finding, she said. "1 think it will be a lengthy process," The current mediator will next file papers with the Public Employment Relations Commission, according to Nelson. PERC will then assign another mediator for the factfinding phase. After gathering information and reviewing briefs submitted by both .sides, that mediator has four to six weeks to write a nonbinding report. Both sides then have 10 days to review the report and decide if they wish to accept (Continued on page A-2) (Continued on page A-2) The season's heaviest snow to date arrived last Friday, closing schools and giving local children three days to enjoy sledding, snowboarding and tobogganing.

Following diagnosis of cancer, local family in need of support FANWOOD — On Nov. 9, Paul Murphy,. a resident of North Avenue, was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme — the most aggressive of primary brain tumors. Despite mounting success in treating many forms of cancer, this highly malignant type, as yet, does not respond well to existing therapies. Thus, the prognosis is poor, with average survival only about one year. This news has been a terrible blow to Paul's family — his wife Judy, two teenage sons and three grown daughters, Amy, Becky and Sarah. Only a matter of weeks ago, the family was looking forward to the holiday season and sharing it with friends and loved ones. Instead, this season marks the beginning of a period of emotional and financial crisis that already is taking its toll. A surveyor in Fanwood-Scotch Plains for more than 21 years.

Spearheaded by members of the First Baptist Church of Westfield, the Millington Baptist Church and Boy Scout 33 of Fanwood, a fundraising campaign has been mounted to help Cacciola resident makes push for affordable housing By ANNA BOGMNOWICZ THE RECORD-PRESS WESTFIELD — With the town's supply of affordable family housing steadily dwindling, replaced by larger, more expensive homes, one local resident has announced a plan to try to reverse the trend. Mary Withers, a founding member of the Westfield Neighborhood Council, is seeking support for a plan to build four new homes for luw-incujne families un the WNC property., located at 127 Cacciola Place. Currently the vice president of the WNC and herself a Cacciola resident. Withers has long worked on behalf of residents in the neighborhood, one of the town's least-affluent areas. The group was started in 1969 by residents who felt there was a need for a community group closer to home to deal with drug and alcohol abuse, and to provide activities for teens and seniors. One of the biggest issues now, she says, is the lack of affordable housing. Many of the town's less-expensive residential properties have been demolished or substantially renovated in recent years. In the neighborhood of Cacciola Place, fires have also played a role. "What aggravates me is the town has not stepped up to bat," she said. When Withers read in a recent edition of The Record-Press that developers were considering building six garden-style homes in place of four existing multi-family rental units on Cacciola Place, she said it was the last straw. "People are being pushed out slowly," she said. Although representatives for the new project have not yet specified how much the units will sell for. Withers says she is worried they will be above the price range for lower income families, such as the ones who will have to move out because of the construction. "We have lost at least 20 families to high-end rent," she said. In response. Withers has begun looking for"'support for her plan. The four attached units would be built in place of a current basketball court and playground at the WNC property, and would include nine parking spaces. Withers found an architect who drew up preliminary plans for the units pro bona and she has been asking contractors in the area to provide a cost estimate for the project. Tuesday night, WNC board members discussed the proposal with a grant writer, and they are optimistic about obtaining federal or state assistance. The grant writer encouraged the group to promote itself and to meet with town officials to enlist their support. Withers said a meeting with town administrator Jim Gildea .should happen soon, and another (Continued on page A-2) The basketball court at the Westfield Neighborhood Council property, where four homes for low-Income families have been proposed.

In the more contentious application, the board heard additional testimony about a proposal to divide a single, five-acre lot at 1S>25 Lake Ave. into three lots. Tin- plan lias drawn intense opposition from neighbors because of the area's natural setting, including a brook that runs through the backyards of homes along the street. The preferred plan put forth by Northeast Developers. Inc. calls for one of the lots to hi- a "flag lot." an interior property accessed by a long driveway from the street. Flag lots are not permitted by local ordinance, and the plan would also require several other variances. But the developer has also put forth a threelot plan featuring a cui-de sac which would require no variances, and which the board would not have authority to reject. "If the board is tjot inclined to go with the flag lot, we're going to go forward with the cul de-sac," said Robert Kraus, attorney for the applicant. While the board imiv be forced to choose between the three-lot plans, neighboring residents made clear Tuesday, as they have at two earlier hearings, that they would strongly prefer a two-lot plan. Either proposal, they said, would detract From the area's rural .setting. "There are amazing things back there that my kid.s love to go and see," said Helen Sobel. "... This part of Lake Avenue has a value." Another neighbor. Deborah Brody, spoke of deer sleeping in her backyard and described the area's "serenity and pejicefulness." Tom Quinn, the board's engineer, also said he was not yet satisfied with the drainage plan presented by the applicant, and added more extensive soil testing wotdd be needed. But a recently-conducted environmental impact statement found no basis on which the board could reject a conforming plan, and thuugh the local land use ordinance states that a proposed development must he "suitable" to the surrounding area, the board's consultants said a denial on those grounds could bit overturned on appeal. So with a three-lot .subdivision looking likely, the board asked neighbors which of the plans they would prefer. Opinion on that issue was divided, though. Brody, who lives next door, .said she feared the cul-cle-sac plan would create traffic safety problems that could put her children in dan- ger. But Sobei and another neighbor, Michael Sullivan, said the flag lot plan should be avoided. "Putting a Hag lot here starts a horrible precedent for our street," said Sullivan. The hearing on the Lake Avenue proposal will be continued at the board's Feb. 13 meeting: a decision is possible at that time. Earlier in the meeting, the board approved an application for 839 Jerusalem Road, where owner Joseph DeRose, a local developer, sought permission to tear down an existing home and build two in its place. DeRo.se and his representatives said the project would replace an older, deteriorating house with two new residences that are consistent with the character of the neighborhood. The new homes will be- similar in style to others DeRose has built around town, including on nearby Park Place. Much of the testimony focused on the unique characteristics of the property. Located at the intersection with John Street, across the street from Scotch Hills Country Club and next to a building owned by the Arc of Union County, the lot is shaped like a parallelogram, with t'he side lot lines diagonal to the road. As a result, the- new houses themselves will be turned at an angle to the road. The original lot. at about 1 1 .(>()() square feet, is also slightIv too .-mall to be split into two conforming lots: the minimum lot area in the zone is 6,000 square feet. Partlv as a result of the; lot's characteristics, several variances were needed, including exceptions for lot area and lot width at one of the lots, as well as side and rear yard setback variances. But DelioseV representatives, including Kraus and planner James Watson, said the two new. "reasonably-sized" houses would be an improvement on the current condition of the property, and would also be better than building one very large new home. Because the existing home is pushed to the extreme rear of the property, they said, the rear setback will be diminished. They also argued that the only people affected by the small side yard setbacks will be the people who purchase the new homes. Watson also snid that the proposed lot widths — the smaller lot will be 57 feet across — are "not uncommon in this area." The application also got a boost from a neighbor on John Street, who said the existing house is "a blight" and added, "Anything would be better that what's there right now, as long as it's not really huge1." The proposal was approved 8-1 by the Planning Board, with only Michael Michalistn dissenting. Michalisin said he would have preferred to see a single, larger home.

Currently private donations are keeping the organization going, but Withers' hope is that in addition to replenishing the town's base of affordable housing, the project can boost the organization's resources. In the meantime, Withers, Cohen, and other neighborhood council members and residents of Cacciola Place urge residents to make donations to keep the center alive.

"We want the public to realize the seriousness of what is going on. People are being moved out and not coming back." She noted several homes on Cacriola Place and Stirling Plate that have burned down and not been replaced, with the properties instead sold to higher-income families or businesses. A landscaping company replaced a home at 131 Cacciola Place that had burned down, she said. In particular, Withers has questioned the construction of a residence at 616 and 618 Stirling Place, which she claims sold for about $450,000. The site was once home to an affordable housing unit supported by the federal Housing and Urban Development agency, but it burned down, she said. The Record-Press was unable to independently verify the site's history at press time. Though the Cacciola Place area is historically black, the issue has nothing to do with race, said Withers, but relates to a growing concern of residents on limited incomes, including senior citizens, who wish to remain in Westfield. Withers said the success of her own children, who benefited from local schools, shows the value of living in a community that has a good school system. "When people get a good education, they do better." Withers and. her supporters — WNC President Howard Cohen, active resident and member Patricia Faggins, community activist Ralph Prunty and others — say they are more than willing to work hard. But the project will depend on help from the community and outside sources, said Withers. "We need money." The Westfietd Neighborhood Council stopped receiving funding from United Way a year ago, and the center has been struggling to stay afloat since.

THE RECORD-PRESS Committee approves Heather Glen tax plan ftyOREGMAAX THE RECORD-PRESS SCOTCH PLAINS — The Township Committee on Tuesday approved a 30-year tax abatement plan for the Heather Glen project, bringing to a close the latest chapter in an initiative that has spanned nearly two decades. The development, to be built off Jerusalem Road near Brightwood Park, will include 54 age-restricted units. The homes, priced from S600,000-$650,000, must be purchased by owners at least 55 years old, and no residents under the age of 19 will be allowed in the development. Work has already begun at the property, and the developer anticipates closing on 18 ol the homes in 2006, according to a projected income statement filed with the township. The entire project is expected to generate revenues in the area of $34 million for the PRC Group. Under the terms of the tax abatement, known as a PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) program, the initial tax levy on the homes will equal 2 percent of the sale cost. By thsit formula, a home purchased fo $650,000 would pay $13,000 in taxes in the first year, rather than the roughly $14,000 a similar home outside the development would be assessed. Levies on the Heather Glen homes will increase at the same rate as local property taxes. Also, the township will keep most of the taxes collected, rather than sharing them with the school district and county. The township was authorized bv state law to approve the PILOT program because the property has been designated as an area in need of redevelopment. Though the abatement has drawn criticism from some local residents, no members of the public spoke at a formal hearing LOANS!!! LOANS!!! LOANS!!! BAD CREDIT, NO CREDIT?

SOLUTIONS AT 1.800.977.7421 WE ARE HERE TO SOLVE YOUR FINANCIAL PROBLEMS (FULL TIME JOB REQUIRED) Tuesday before the plan was formally approved, Nonetheless, local officials again explained the rationale behind the decision. Councilman Frank Rossi said the township1 needed to offer the "very modest * incentive in order to bring appropriate development to the site. Since internal discussions about the tract of land first began in 1987, the township has passed on proposals to allow an assisted-living facility and a 300unit townhouse complex at the site. Now, Rossi said, the township has a project that will add to the local tax base without creating a burden for the school system or adversely affecting the character of the area. The abatement is "a very low cost for a tremendous, tremendous benefit," he said. Mayor Martin Marks was similarly enthusiastic, describing the project as "probably one of the best land-use decisions this municipality has ever made." He and Rossi both credited former elected officials for laying the groundwork for the project. Also Tuesday, the committee approved an ordinance raising the fees for demolition permits. The increase was designed to offset the costs incurred by the Building Department in connection with the ongoing residential building boom. Under the new law, the fee for a demolition permit for one- and two-family homes will be $1,000, with $1,000 to be held in escrow by the township. The fee for demolition of non-residential homes will be $1,500, with $2,000 held in escrow. A permit for demolition of accessory structures, including sheds, pools and most oil tanks, will be $100.

Though sometimes necessary to stimulate investment in a longneglected area, abatements and exemptions are too often doled out gratuitously — often, it appears, to politically connected developers. Abatements are disliked by taxpayers for good reason — they amount to more money to people who already have lots of it, and are poised to make more. That being said, there is very little to object to about the 30-year tax abatement plan granted by the Scotch Plains Township Committee to the PRC Group, the developers of the Heather Glen project near Brightwood Park. In recent discussions about the abatement, including a formal public hearing Tuesday night, local officials have put forth a solid case that the project, and the financial arrangement, are a good deal for the municipality. As Councilman Frank Rossi pointed out at Tuesday's hearing, under the abatement, the owner of a home valued at $650,000 — which is what the high-end units in the development are expected to sell for — would pay $13,000 in taxes in the first year. That amounts to a tax rebate of about $1,000, an amount Rossi fairly characterized as "modest." From that point, taxes on the units in Heather Glen will rise at the same rate as on other homes. But while the deal will offer a modest rebate to homeowners, it will actually lend greater support to municipal coffers Under normal circumstances, a municipality keeps only about 20 percent of the tax bill, with roughly 60 percent going to the school district and about 20 percent going to the county. But because Heather Glen is a formal redevelopment site, the township can keep nearly all of the taxes collected from the project. In a town where local government is relatively allergic to spending, that should translate into savings for existing homeowners. And it's not unfair to the school district, because no children will be allowed to live in the development. That's not to say Heather Glen is perfect — with affordable housing rapidly disappearing, it would have been good to include at least a few units projected to cost less than $600,000. But local officials have negotiated a project that will make appropriate use of a site that's been neglected for too long, and have done so while protecting the interests of local taxpayers.

I joined the WUW board 10 years ago because I witnessed the impact the programs which it supports have on my neighbors. While the slogan "two out of every three Wesfielders are helped" may .seem an unlikely possibility in an affluent town such as ours, when you analyze the family of agencies whose programs are made possible by I lie WUW, you realize the validity. Consider your neighbors with children in Girl or Boy Scouts, your shut-in neighbor who has a hot meal delivered, seniors who are transported on the van made possible by WUW funding, parents able to use affordable child care, your neighbor with a disability who needs a health care worker, vour friend across the street who has a child with cerebral palsy, or programs in youth leadership development. The list of programs for our 20 member agencies goes on and on. It takes a collection of funding for any agency to survive, and WUW dollars are critical to the budgets of our agencies, 1 am proud to be a trustee, and 1 am proud of what WUW does for our community. I hope all Westfielders will pilch in to help support this worthy organization. MARY BRAUTIGAM Past President, Board of Trustees Westfield United Way Salvation Army asks: Don't stop giving To The Record-Press: This has been one of the busiest and most devastating hurricane seasons in recent history. The outpouring of compassion, support and prayers has been nothing short of awe-inspiring. I'd like to sincerely thank our generous donors for their support of The Salvation Army's relief efforts on the Gulf Coast. In New Jersey alone, donor support for the Army's relief effort amounted to more than S3 million which in part has helped to assist more than 1,260,000 hurricane victims. And as we move into the holiday season, I'd like to ask for your continued support of the Salvation Armv. Inevitably, giving declines after a major disaster, but our local needs do not. I'd like to ask for your continued support from our donors when encountering our red kettle bell ringers or when receiving a mail solicitation. It is only with the public's support that we will be able to continue our programs fur the needv in our communities. Once again, thank you for your support of the Gulf Coast hurricane victims and please help the Salvation Army as we enter a critical fund-raising season thnt supports our programs nil throughout the year.

And 'tis the season of me dragging my sister to the mall on Dec. 2-4 for an Olympian display of shopping that would make the creators of "Supermarket Sweep" blush. But despite it all — the bad traffic, the cold, painful remakes of Christmas carols — I look forward to traveling hack home for the holiday. All the headaches and aggravations will be worth it once I'm having dinner with my family, sharing stories, sitting around the tree, watching the faces of everybody as they open their gifts, and celebrating the season for all the right reasons.

WHS drama explores life under Nazi occupation ByANNAMMOANOWKZ THE RECORD-PRESS WESTFIELD — This weekend, Weatfield High School will present a fall drama that is designed to leave audiences educated, entertained, and ultimately moved — and that has already had that effect on the students who will bring the story to life. Ghetto, written by Israeli playwright Joshua Sobol, is the story of a theater company in the Jewish ghetto in Viina, Lithuania, while the city was under Nazi occupation during World War II. Based on diaries from camp personnel, the play shows how a theater group responds to despair with song, satire and criticism of the Nazi regime. The "play within a piny" contains actual songs sung in the ghetto and was inspired by a real historical theater which operated from 1942-1943. Many of the students said they had a tough time making it through practices, but added it was important to pay respect to the millions of Jews and others killed in the Holocaust. "My family was killed in the ghetto," said a teary-eyed Natalie Narotzky, a junior who plays the clarinet in the production. Narotzky said the play was very difficult for her, but that she felt it was important for her to take part in it. WESTFIELD — The Westfield Memorial Library will be continuing its holiday festivities with activities for young and old alike.

Its artistic appeal actually lies within its walls — with the talents of the people who work there every clay. Hidden behind thick shrubbery, the building is home to OSP Digital and Traditional Photography, a photography business specializing in culinary marketing, and Wagner Photography, which specializes in medical nnd pharmaceutical advertising. Though the businesses are active on n daily basis, on special occasions a crowd will gather behind the building for one of the most unusual and interesting art .shows in Cranford. Every staffer at 208 North Ave. has a creative outlet, and every so often they will invite the public to sec their creations during an exhibit. Their1 most recent exhibit ivas held last Friday and Saturday. "I've been taking up photography since I was n child." said Karen Nardo of Wagner Photography, while holding a photo of an abandoned railroad bridge in iWshanic Station. "But mostly I've been shooting a lot of'pictures ufi my town because people arc really looking tor them." Dozens of her pictures featuring the Somerset County village and the surrounding countryside were on display over the weekend. Nardo was selling home-made postcards, along with 8-by11 and larger prints of the bucolic town. She markets her small-town photography under the name KN Photography. The talents of Nardo's colleague Bill Wagner run in a different direction, toward the creation of original jewelry. "This was a creative outlet for me," said Wagner, sitting at his work desk with dozens of pieces of silver before him. "You can make anything, you can form it just like you do with clay." Wagner said. He uses a material that is made of pure silver with a little bit of binder. Once put in n kiln, the binder will burn off, leaving behind the silver. "My son came home from art school and said, 'You have to try this,' so I did. I've been doing it ever since," he snid. His son Brett, standing behind his father, handed him a sculpting tool. "I knew he was going to like it," he said. An art .school graduate, Brett took a job after college at Bullseye Glass in Port In nd. Ore. Several years later, lie now combines the skills he acquired at the company with the techniques he learned at art school to create pieces of unique glassware. Wagner fuses layered glass sheets in a kiln. At OSP, Diane Metz finds her creative outlet by making stained-glass jewelry. "I cut it out, grind it and then it goes into the kiln," she said. "That's what gives each piece that nice, smooth look." Metz creates larger pieces of stained glass including jewelry boxes, lanterns and wind chimes. Her .smaller pieces, such as jewelry, are scraps from bigger projects. Metz's sister Susan Bruno, also of OSP, has been making glass bead jewelry and other bended, metal and ceramic items, for four years. Like all the staff members at Wagner Photography and OSP, Metz uses one of five kilns on site to make her creations. Just a few feet away at the exhibit was Peggy Holian of PoorHousc Antiques, who spends her time finding and fixing large pieces of metal furniture. Finding metal furniture is rare, said Holian, but refinishing it and reselling it is an even more unique process. Holian prefers antique metal furniture .such as bread trays, hat stands and coffee tables that she finds at flea markets and garage sales. She takes them homo, strips the paint, grinds the pieces and then snnds nnd polishes them back to new. "It takes awhile," she said. "But my mother collected antiques and we refinishod them. I've been collecting antiques for years. I like the metal pieces."

The Kenilworth Public Library will host a program featuring award-winning New Jersey mystery writer David White at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 5 in the library's activity room. A story by White, "God's Dice," is to included in the soon-to-bereleased anthology The Adventure of the Missing Detective: And 25 of the Year's Finest Crime and Mystery Stories] "God's Dice" features the New Jersey-based PI Jackson Donne as he investigates a woman's disappearance on behalf of a local priest. The PI travels from confessional booths to casinos and seedy hotel rooms and ultimately must deal with issues that go way beyond the facts of a missing-person case. The roster of other authors with stories in the upcoming anthology includes such notables as Joyce Carol Oates, Laura Lippman, Jeffrey Deaver and Robert Barnard. Although only 26 years old, White has been writing for more than 15 years, having published his first story when he was in the fourth grade. He has already written 15 other short stories, most of which feature PI Jackson Donne. His stories have appeared in such magazines and e-zines as Crime Spree, Thrilling Detective, Shots UK, Handheld Crime, Shred of Evidence, and Hardluck Stories. His story "Closure" won the Derringer Award in 2003, and "God's Dice" as well as another story, "Down to the River," were Leon Redbone will perform in Rahway Tickets are on sale now for Jan. 21 concert at the Union County Arts Center On Jan. 21, Leon Redbone, the eccentric and eclectic New York musician who has devoted his career to injecting now life into the blues, jazz, vaudeville, ragtime and folk traditions of the roaring 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, will take the stage at the Union County Arts Center in Rahway. Redbone's baritone croon and yodel and his nostalgic orchestrations (heavy on the strings and horns) make fun of the theatrical, sentimental and pompous stylos of the past, but at the same time reveal what was precious and is forever lost from that era. For a man whose music seems timeless, Leon Redbone prefers to immerse himself in the here and now. On AnyTime, Redbone's 11th record and his first for the Blue Thumb label, the wingerguitarist continues his love affair with tunes from the turn-of-the-century, flapper-era radio ditties, deprossionspnwncd ragtime and fofk-jazz. Yet there is always something oddly modern about this musician — his lyrical satire and Italian Coniincntiil Cuisine emotional cynicism tend to wear well with any generation. Since his 1975 Warner Brothers gold record debut On the Truck, Redbone has defied other people's expectations while consistently building up his own myth. Beyond what he has exposed through his music, the artist prefers to reveal nothing else. There is no consensus on how he first flirted with — and eventually came to personify — the vast styles associated with the gramophone era.

In the introduction in the upcoming anthology, author Sarah Weinman describes White as "one of the rising stars in the crime fiction short story world" and someone whose stories offer "excellent plot, strong characterization, and a thoughtful voice"; she says of "God's Dice" that "like all good stories, it leaves the protagonist in a different place from where he began." According to White, his attraction to the mystery genre is largely based on character development. "When characters are pushed to the brink — as they often arc in mysteries — that's when I want to know about them. Everyone shops at a supermarket, but how many people deal with murder?" said White during a recent interview. White lives in Clifton and teaches eighth grade language arts at the Christopher Columbus Middle School in that city. He has signed on with the Scotland-based literary agent Allen Guthrie and Jenny Brown Associates and is in the process of shopping his novel, When One Man Dies.

Palmer Museum In Springfield beginning next month. Exhibit features scenes of NJ The photographs of Robert A. Parker of Nutley will be featured in "New Jersey Images," a new exhibit at the Donald B. Palmer Museum in Springfield, from Jan. 9 to Feb. 16, 2006. In the exhibit, which includes more than 25 photographs, Parker's subject matter varies from natural habitats to man-made architecture, from athletic events to still life, from quiet portraits to birds or animals to blurred action. Locations range from Giants Stadium to Cape May, from Sussex County in winter to summer at the Jersey Shore, and from Ramapo to Nutley to Clinton. "This is the first time in my 18 exhibits that I have grouped New Jersey images together," said Parker. "It is truly refreshing to realize the variety of photographic subjects we have here in the Garden State. Occasionally, I like to capture an entire scene, and take advantage of the weather or the light. But more often I employ close-up or zoom lenses to isolate an eye-catching pattern, both those created in nature and those created by man." "My objective," Parker added, "is to present work that invites contemplation, with the viewer discovering more and more in the image with each given moment." Parker has exhibited in many group shows, including juried shows at the Photography Forum in Watchung; Gallery 214, Montclair; and the Arthur Griffin Center for Photographic Art, Winchester, Mass. Other group shows have been at Gallery West, Court Plaza South, Hackensack; the Bergen Museum of Art & Science; Children's Specialized Hospital, Mountainside, the Meadowlands Center for the Arts, Rutherford; and the Kodalux Gallery, Paramus.

WESTFIELD — In early December of 1989, the charter members of the newly formed Westfieid Optimist Club were looking for a special project to benefit the community. It was the late Bill DiLouie who, on the spur of the moment and along with a few colleagues, started assembling baskets of food to distribute to needy families in town a few days before Christmas. That year, they passed out 45 baskets, and a tradition was born. Holiday food baskets are now the Optimists' oldest project. Since that first inspired and hastily arranged effort, the club has delivered some 850 baskets, according to the estimate of this year's club pres- ident, Jeffrey Feldman. "And the 75 bles, fruit and dessert. Kings of we will provide this year, our 17th," Garwood fills and assembles all the says Feldman, "will take us over boxes for much less than what the contents actually cost. The club has 900 meals." The club's community budget also been supported by several covers the cost of about 60 baskets, other local merchants, who provide and individual members are spon- additional flourishes to help brightsoring the remaining 15.

Health & Fitness SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION The truth about genetics and weight loss Rehabilitation Center Tall and short, dark and light, freckled and tanned, we come in myriad packages with myriad features, most of them determined by our genetics before we ever draw breath. Very few of these traits can we control, and we just have to play the hand we're dealt. But when people are earnestly trying to lose weight and failing again and again, many ultimately get the sneaking suspicion that they really are playing against a stacked deck. They may be right. For some people who struggle with their weight, it seems that SPORTS MEDICINE Presented by William Bell, R.HT. CAN ANKLE SPRAINS LEAD TO ARTHRITIS? It has long been known that ankle arthritis often occurs after a fracture to the joint. However, it was still debated as to whether recurrent ankle sprains alone, without a fracture, can also lead to arthritis. Now, new research indicates that ankle sprains seem to boost (he risk of developing painful osteoarthritis in the joint, the finding suggests that intensive rehabilitation is needed after chronic ankle instability or sprains to help ward off the chronic degenerative joint disease. This is not the first study to suggest the ankle sprain-and-arthritis link. Previous research has shown that lateral ankle instability (involving the outer ligaments) could cause ankle arthritis.

Recently, researchers have identified specific combinations of genes that appear to correlate very strongly with fat retention independent of, even in spite of, exercise. In a very closely-controlled, year-long study with postmenopausal women, researchers divided the participants into an exercise intervention group and a control group. All the subjects were carefully selected for specific features of their health and lifestyle. Various lab tests were taken, including certain genetic tests. The subjects were all instructed not to change their dietary habits. The control group was assigned a moderate stretching regimen to use over the course of the study, and the intervention group was given a moderate intensity, 45-minute workout for five days a week, initially with supervision. There was detailed tracking, because the researchers were especially interested in identifying distinctions between genetic and environmental factors. At the end of the study period, the researchers found a distinct variability in the amount of fat lost by some exercisers that could State of the Art Cancer Treatment Center in NJ "Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) wraps radiation beams precisely around tumors to destroy cancer cells while minimizing risk to healthy tissue New State of the Art Equipment with Fully Integrated IMRT System 892 Trussler Place, Rahway, New Jersey 07065 (732) 382-5550 Eric Karp., M.D. Medical Director Board Certified Radiation Oncologist About Dr. Karp: • Founder and Director of Rahway Regional Cancer Center • Board Certified Radiation Oncologist Trained at Memorial Sloan- fettering Cancer Center RAHWAY REGIONAL CANCER CENTER • Awarded American Cancer Society Fellowship ~ in Clinical Oncology at Manorial Sloan-Rcttering Cancer Center Free Door to Door Transportation Available • Established Central N o r Jersey*! l i t Prostate Seed Implant Program • Graduated with Honor.

So the researchers looked to the genetic data, and indeed, there were two specific genes that stood out related to patterns of fat loss and exercise. Participants with certain combinations of those genes and their variants had significantly different fat loss outcomes. The complex science at this level can be pretty confusing. Genes are named with different alpha-numeric codes and so are their variant alleles. If you're not careful, you can enji up in some real alphabet soup just trying to talk about it, but basically two genes are involved here, the CYP19 and the COMT. They found that having one CYP19 gene and its variants was not consistently associated with percentage fat, total fat, subcutaneous fat or intra-abdominal fat, that dangerous excess that gathers around our vital organs. But having two such genes correlated to a slightly larger decrease in body mass index, and a significantly larger decrease in total fat and percentage of body fat. And having a particular genotype of the COMT gene, together with at least one copy of the CYP19 gene, also related to a significantly larger decrease in BMI, total fat and percentage of body fat. There were corresponding intermediate combinations and results that bore out the relationships. Interestingly, in the exercising group, those with a specific variant of the CYP19 gene lost more fat over the year, but in the nonworkout group, those with that same variant gained more fat. Why and how these genes affect the fat/exercise relationship isn't yet understood, but now that these have been identified as significant, they are the subject of much new, focused study. Other research has since showed that women with that specific CYP19 variant have higher concentrations of the hormones estrono and estradiol, which may make them more resistant to fat loss through exercise. The important thing is that this research shows that the calories-in, calories-out explanations about body weight are just too simplistic and don't account for many very real variables that have nothing to do with will or self-restraint. That said, people shouldn't assume that they're genetically precluded from ever being thin and healthy. So if you're one of those with the bad hand, don't give up!

Because getting dealt a bad hand doesn't doom you to losing the game — it just moans you need a different strategy for winning it.

On Saturday December 3, the Haiders passed their first test of the young season when thev outlasted West field 92-78 before an overflow crowd at the Westfield YMCA. Thi? victory was extra significant because evun though the Raiders won the first state championship in school history last year, they were unable to outscore the Blue Devils in three tries, dropping their dual meet, finishing behind them in the Pirate Invitational and tying them in the Union County tournament. Defeating their long time nemesis was a great confidence booster according to Hulnik. "I am pleased with the way the girls performed so early in the season." said Hulnik. "It was a close meet and Westfield is such a strong team." With such a strong team, Hulnik hns scheduled ambitiously and realizes there are many roadblocks abend. "It's a long season and we will be swimming several very good teams including Britlgewnter and Hillshorough as well as the Pirate Invitational where we will compete against teams like Bishop Ahr, Mount Saint Mary's, West-Windsor Plainsboro, and Westfield,' said Hulnik. Lending tho triumph against Westfield with double victories wee the teams' two most accomplished swimmers, sophomore Melissa Helock and junior Jillinn Murphy. Helock burst on the scene a year ago by becoming the first Raider in five years to win an individual event at the prestigious Pirate Invitational with a victory in the 200-yard freestyle. She is also one of the .states best in the 500-yard freestyle and has the versatility to dominate in the 200-ynrd individual medley, Murphy »B a powerful sprinter, who is nenrly unbeatable in the 50 yard nnd 100 yard freestyle races. "While at times 1 may lean more towards the sprints with Jillinn, and the distance free, fly and IM with Melissa, both of these girls are very versatile and enn pretty much go anywhere in the line-up," said Hulnik. Junior Brittany Lnrkin sav^d some of her best performances a year ago in the freestyle events for the state tournament and looks better than ever this year. Sophomore Beeua Fox was one of the heroes in the state semi finals against Mountain Lakes by winning the 100-meter breastroke and 200-meter individual medley IJMJ. Sophomore Mary Henkels is the top returning back stroker and also is an excellent sprinter. Sophomores Erin Rossi and Kate Johnson add depth to a variety of events "I feel very confident in our team's ability to cover every stroke nnd distance," said Hulnik. Although most of the Raiders' stars are sophomores and juniors they took to the two senior cocaptains sprinter Kristen Henkels and backstroker Katie Knsenick for leadership.

"Depth is so important in high school swimming that you can't really leave anyone1 out. So often meets are won on 3rd, 4th, and 5th place points, especially when ii gets down to some of the stronger teams," said Hulnik. When asked if the 2006 Raiders can better last year Hulnik takes a guarded stance! "Hopefully, but it's pretty hard to top n county and state championship.

In early November, Ralph Nader called on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a consumer advisory on "the importance of windshield integrity, the relationship to roof strength and rollover crashes, proper replacement procedures and (industry replacement) standards" to create a more informed motoring public. "We welcome Mr. Nader's interest, and support his call for the federal government to issue a consumer advisory," said Leo Cyr, vice president, auto glass division of the National Glass Association, and executive director of the association's Coalition for Auto Glass Safety and Public Awareness (CASPA). "More than 10 million Americans replace damaged windshields every year without giving a thought to the skill of the person replacing their windshield." In a 2004 survey of consumers by CASPA, 82 percent of respondents cited windshield safety as important, but no one could identify even one of the crucial roles the windshield plays in a vehicle's safety system. In fact, modern automobile design relies heavily on the windshield for structural roof support during a rollover crash. The windshield is also critical in proper airbag deployment. Improper replacement of a windshield can also cause the glass to detach from the vehicle in a crash, allowing occupants to be ejected from the passenger compartment. Nader's letter to the NHTSA's acting director, Jacqueline Glassman, states, "... motorists should be assured that the roof strength of a vehicle on the road today is not unnecessarily compromised as the result of a windshield replacement." "Dangerous shortcuts" such as "inappropriate adhesive applications, shortened drive-away times and improper glass handling techniques" result in "an unknown number of weak windshield installations which will not even protect occupants from the first impact in the first half roll," Nader's letter says. Although investigative media reports have documented unsafe windshield replacements, "accurate estimates of injuries due to deficient windshield installation are unavailable due to the highly specific nature of this uncollected data," Nader states. "No one knows precisely how often replaced windshields? fail in crashes," Cyr said. "What we do know is unsafe windshield replacement is a risk factor that could be eliminated through greater consumer awareness. When consumers know they have reason to be concerned that their windshield be replaced properly and professionally, they will use that knowledge to recognize and reject service providers who use the 'dangerous shortcuts' to which Mr. Nader refers." The National Glass Association recommends two quick steps to ncrease your windshield safety awareness. First, read the indusry's Auto Glass Replacement Safety Standard at www.ogrss.com. Second, select an auto glass replacement company that offers technicians certified by NGA. For help finding a certified technician in your area, or additional information on windshield replacement afety, visit either www.myautoglass.org or www.glass.org.

Larry S ery of hit brand-new 2006 Chevrolet Corvette convertible, which he ordered through New Norris Chevrolet, located In Westfield. Dr. Seitzman selected the option of Corvette museum delivery. This option let's the customer take a tour of the Corvette assembly plant and the Corvette museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky, then drive a brand-new Corvette home. The trip marked Dr. Seitzman's second trip to the museum. Asked what he thinks about the museum, he said, "It's great, they really take care of you. They go over your vehicle from top to bottom, and the tour is fantastic. It took about two hours to go through, and the guys at Norris Chevrolet are just as good." The Corvette museum option costs $490. For more Information, call New Norris Chevrolet, "your hometown dealership." With a little care, you can still go in the snow By BOBBY HAMILTON NASCAR TRUCK HBR1KS CHAMPION (NAPSI) — Getting ready for winter weather can help take the worry out of winter driving. With a little work, you can drive more confidently on icy roads, and you'll be ready if you get stuck in the snow. And remember, if conditions are too hazardous, the best bet is to stay off the road. Follow these basic guidelines to enjoy a safer ride: — Go under the hood and make sure your car is in proper working order. Check the battery, brakes, lights/hazards, heater and defroster. Also, check the fluid level on your wipers and antifreeze. — Pack it up: Pack emergency supplies for the road, just in case you get stuck. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration suggests you have a flashlight, jumper cables, shovel, snow brush, ice scraper, warning devices (such as flares), blankets and a small bag of sand or cat litter to gencrate traction under wheels. And for long trips, it's a good idea, to bring food and water. — Plan ahead: Allow plenty of time so you're not in a rush. Watch television or listen to radio reports for the latest weather conditions. Try to travel in daylight hours and let oth- ers know the route you're taking. — Buy good winter tires: While all-weather radials are fine in some areas, other locations require chains or snow tires with studs for safe driving. Make sure your tires have enough tread life. The Rubber Manufacturers Association suggests placing a penny, Lincoln head down, in the tread groove. Consider buying new tires if you can see all of Lincoln's head. You may alao be able to save if you buy tires or other equipment through a service such as AutoVantage. Members of this organization can often save from 5 to 20 percent on car care at some 19,000 service locations. To learn more, visit www.autovantage.com or call (800) 876-7787. — Gas up: Keep your gas tank at least half full to keep from running out of gas if you get stuck. — If you get stuck, stay put. If your car gets stuck in ice or snow, stay in your vehicle. Don't leave the car to search for assistance unless help is visible within 100 yards. Bobby Hamilton is the current NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Champion after achieving four career NASCAR Winston Cup Scries victories. He is also a spokesman for AutoVantage. -. ^ > - Wh«n dialing Internationally Oil + [country code] + (city code) + [telephone MB) Brazil 55 Cameroon 237 Chile 56 China 86 Colombia 57 Costa Rica 506 Denmark 45 Egypt 20 El Salvador S03 Afghanistan 93 Argentina 54 Australia 61 Bahamas 809 Bangladesh 860 Belgium 321 Belize 501 Bermuda 809 Bhutan 975 2002 Discovery Red. 48,713 miles, Auto, A/C, Cold Climate pkg SN1529 2003 Range Rover H5E 2003 Discovery SE 25,096 milaa.
