SUriirft Serving Westpeld, Scotch Plains and Fanwood Friday, March 12, 2004 50 cents Redevelopment talks continue in Westfield •yWID THE RECORD-PRESS WESTFIELD — A representative from development firm Nassau HKT presented an adjusted design concept for potential downtown redevelopment to members of the Town Council Tuesday, and it appears more compromises between the developer and the governing body may be necessary to bring the projects to fruition. The redevelopment project is slated to include parking decks, residential, and retail uses at two downtown sites. One parking deck would be constructed in the space currently occupied by the train sta- tion parking lot on South Avenue. Another deck, smaller in scale, would be erected between Prospect and Elm streets in a spot currently occupied by a municipal parking lot in front of Trader Joe's. Nassau HKT has scaled back the original design of the South Avenue site and incorporated concerns expressed by some members of the public. Some residents have argued the proposed South Avenue project is too big and too dense, that its effect on the streetscape would not be attractive, and that construction of the deck would exacerbate, not improve, parking problems. The current South Avenue proposal includes a gross increase of 545 spaces from the parking capacity currently available at the site. The net increase would be only 430 parking spaces, however, once the increased demand from the development is considered. The mixed use element of the development, which would mask the parking deck, has been reduced to include 61 units — the previous design called for 72. Those units would be divided between 15 condominiums and 46 rental apartments. The reduction in the number of units doesn't necessarily mean less total space will be dedicated to residential use, however. The condominium units are projected Championship form to be larger than the apartments, ranging between 1,800 and 2,000 square feet. Apartments would range from about 900 square feet for one-bedroom units to roughly 1,200 square feet for two-bedroom units. The retail component, about 18,000 square feet in total, would be restricted to the western end of the redevelopment tract closest to the train station. The retail square footage is unchanged. The parking deck would consist of five levels, but from the street would resemble a 3'/2-story building. The deck's height would (Continued on page A-2) Board introduces budget for schools Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School senior Derek Francavilla defeated Rahway's Ed McCray 9-1 in the Region 3, 125-pound final to win his second regional title.

Avg. increase in SP to be $384; Fanwood tax hike set at $229 ByCMEQMARX THE RECORD-PRESS SCOTCH PLAINS — The Scotch Plains-Fanwood Board of Education introduced a tentative 2004-2005 school budget Tuesday night that calls for tax increases of $384 and $229 on the average homes in Scotch Plains and Fanwood, respectively. The tax increase is proposed to be 7.5 percent in Scotch Plains and 5.1 percent in Fanwood, said Business Administrator Anthony Del Sordi. The averaged assessed values are $117,000 in Scotch Plains and $83,000 in Fanwood. Total spending in the proposed budget is $63.5 million, with $55.3 million of that proposed to com* from local property taxes. The total spending represents | an increase of 5.9 percent over last year.

That increase is at the state-imposed spending cap. The increased spending is substantially driven by increases in insurance costs. The district also plans to hire seven new teachers and two new special education aides to cope with rising enrollment and improve services. With respect to administrative costs — an area in which the board has sometimes been criticized — Del Sordi noted the district's per pupil costs are less than $1,100 per student, below the average for the region. With most of the hard decisions having been hashed out at earlier meetings, there was comparatively little discussion about the budget Tuesday.

THE RECORD-PRESS NICOLE DIMELLA/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER WESTFIELD — A draa of the 2004 budget released by town administrator Jim Gildea indicates that property owners may face a nearly 15 percent increase in the municipal portion of their 2004 tax bill. That would mean the property tax increase faced by the town's average homeowner, assessed at about $177,500, would be approximately $210. Last year the owner of the average home saw a tax hike of $75. If the budget is approved as it currently stands, the tax rate for the average homeowner will rise from approximately 79 cents per $100 of assessed value to 90.7 cents per $100 of assessed value, a nearly 12-point increase. The total municipal budget would be set at $29.97 million, an increase of about 7.1 percent over the 2003 budget's total appropriation figure of $27.99 million. "Expenditures are up roughly the same amount as last year," said Gildea. But this year the revenue side of the budget has declined considerably for a number of reasons. Sale of municipal assets is not included as a line item in the 2004 budget. That item by itself represented a contribution of $300,000 to the 2003 budget, money that would not be included in this year's budget. Also, for the first time since 1998, the town did not regenerate the surplus it contributed to the previous year's budget. In 2003, (Continued on page A-2) Borough officials, residents square off over tower By BRAD BISHOP THE RECORD-PRESS FANWOOD — A plan to replace an aging communications tower at Borough Hall and construct a larger tower elsewhere on the municipal property is raising familiar objections from residents of the one-square-mite borough. At a special meeting Monday night, representatives from the police department explained their need for a new tower, while a representative from a consultant hired by Fanwood explained the likely technical specifications of the 120-foot tall tower. The existing tower is "unsafe," according to Mayor Colleen Mahr. The 60-foot tall tower is leaning by approximately 20 percent. And the tower was built to accommodate 1970s technology, so it is insufficient to meet the current needs of the borough's police and fire departments. Capt. Edward White explained that new communications equipment Fanwood obtained last year as part of an $80,000 grant is not functioning at its full capacity due to the limitations of the current tower. Signals from the tower are blocked by nearby trees and cannot penetrate some concrete buildings including school buildings, and communications are incomplete across Fanwood. Personnel are unable to rely on the communications system to communicate with other municipalities, and are forced instead to route communications through a middleman at Borough Hall. "With today's technology we need the additional height to communicate with ourselves and others," White said. According to Mark Gatanis, a representative for consultant Salient Associates, the tower would be n three-legged, latticed tower and would be installed at the rear of the property, not at the location of the current tower. He said 80 percent of the tower would be camouflaged. But a number of homeowners said they thought the new tower would be unsightly, and concerns were raised about the possibility of a cell phone company attaching antennas to the tower, a prospect that has raised strong opposition from residents in the past several years. Mahr said Fanwood has not been contacted by cell phone companies seeking to lease the tower. While some residents object to the use of cell phone antennas on towers for aesthetic reasons, municipalities can receive a substantial amount of money from revenues gained by renting tower space to cell phone companies. Scotch Plains is planning to construct a tower at its south side firehouse to improve communications for its first responders, and officials there expect the tower to pay for itself within a few years. At an agenda meeting in January, borough clerk Eleanor McGovern said Fanwood had budgeted $88,000 for the construction of the tower. Residents opposed to the aesthetics of a latticed tower suggested changing the tower's design to monopole or flag polo style structure, or constructing a smaller tower and relying on a repeater system to boost the strength of the communication signal. Councilman Jack Molenaar said additional buffering could be added to property boundaries, which could help to restrict views of what some may see as an eyesore. Council members said the cost of a flagpole style tower was nearly three times the cost of the proposed tower, while Capt. White said the prospect of using a repeater system with the current tower was costly and inefficient. Other residents said the tower will be constructed near a retention basin used by neighborhood children as a ball field in the summer and a sledding area in the winter. Some, like resident Kathy Herschwin, were concerned that access to the property could be restricted after the tower is constructed. ''There is no (other) park for kids to walk to safely," said Herschwin. "People that move to Russell Road are very happy about that space." Mahr said the council's intent "is to make sure children's potential USP of the retention basin is maintained." The tower's plan calls for the construction of a 6-foot tall fence (Continued on page A-2) March 12, 2004 Record Press A-2 Redevelopment talks continue (Continued from page A-l) "The design is far superior to what we had and it does address max out at 47 feet in the center, the comments we were hearing with height at the four corners of from residents," said Robert the complex reaching 43.5 feet.

Yet politicians in Washington are focusing not on all these major issues, but on minor issues in what has become known as "the culture war." Just as politicians in Trenton launch symbolic fireworks to distract voters from their lack of action on property tax reform, senators, congressmen and even presidents in Washington would rather gain quick and cheap political points by blustering on issues such as gay marriage as a smokescreen to disguise the lack of progress on the "big" issues. Rep. Michael Ferguson (R-7) has enlisted in the culture wars by voting in favor of the Broadcast Decency Enforcement Act, which was approved in the House Energy and Commerce Committee by a 49-1 vote. According to a statement issued by Ferguson's office, that bill increases fines for indecency on broadcast radio and television from $27,500 to $500,000. The bill also contains a "three-strikes-and-you-may-be-out" provision, warning over-the-air broadcasters that they may lose their licenses for three or more indecency infractions. Of course this ignores the fact that cable television channels are immune from such legislation: MTV has far more leeway than NBC, for example. Ferguson is also a co-sponsor of a bill that specifies exactly what words — and their variations — should be considered profane. None of those words will be printed in this newspaper. In announcing his support of the legislation, Ferguson pointed to two instances of "indecent" incidents — Irish rock singer Bono uttering an obscenity at the 2003 Golden Globes Awards and the infamous incident with Janet Jackson at this year's Super Bowl halftime show. Last year the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) cleared the Golden Globes broadcast, but the exposure of one of Janet Jackson's breasts for just a few seconds generated an outcry far larger than it deserved. It should have been nothing more than a minor blip on the nation's radar screens, but conservative politicians — feeling anxious with President Bush's drop in the polls — whipped up a frenzy to rally their troops and distract attention from the issues that are far more important to the future of the country. It's easy to jump on the party bandwagon and to vote for increasing penalties for profanity; it's like voting to approve apple pie as the national food. But it's just done for shallow political gain. Almost everyone agrees we'd have been better off seeing less of Miss Jackson during the Super Bowl halftime. But as the swift response of CBS and the NFL showed, public reaction was more than adequate to address the issue. We don't need politicians serving as self-styled czars of decency; we need them to show leadership on issues like national security, creating jobs, and providing true access to health care. But that takes courage, especially if it involves pain and sacrifice, and given the current climate in Washington, that's not likely to happen. Mike Deak Confessions of an addict My name is Michael and I am a journalist. Hello, Michael! Letters to the editor Kline defends his vote on budget To The Record-Press: In a recent letter, Fanwood resident Peter Sayles accused me of "grandstanding" when I voted against the Democrat majority's 11 percent tax increase in Fanwood taxes. Let me clear up a number of erroneous statements by Mr. Sayles. First, I did not pretend outrage; it was real. During my 7-plus years on council, I have never introduced, approved, or voted for a double-digit tax increase. I don't intend to start now. Furthermore, I do not object to the application for extraordinary aid. In fact, I commend the mayor for seeking alternative sources of revenue. However, I do object to making this application without first understanding all the strings or potential problems from accepting such aid. The mayor and my Democratic colleagues did not fully explain to Fanwood residents that the statute gives Trenton the power to reduce our expenses it deems excessive. Maybe Trenton thinks we have one or two many police officers or too many leaf pickups. The positives may certainly outweigh the negatives. But, I like to make important decisions having as much information as possible. In her presentation, Councilwoman Donna Dolce gave an overview of borough expenses. She explained everything except why taxes are going up 11 percent. This year, we had several favorable budget developments such as increased local revenues (in fact, rev- The Record-Press is here for you Aid The following information should help you get your ideas and community news into The Record-Press: Call Editor Gregory Marx at (732) 396-4219 with story suggestions, questions or comments.

I was never very good at writing ledes for feature stories, especially sad stories about disease, so 111 just begin at the beginning. I never seriously experimented with journalism until college. I began writing for my college weekly newspaper. I was young and I thought it was harmless. And I believed I could quit any time I wanted. I had no intention of ever being a journalist. I had heard sad stories about the lives of journalists — the long hours, the horrible pay and too much booze, cigarettes and cynicism. And though they were portrayed as romantic crusaders in the movies, journalists were disreputable characters who caused more trouble than they were worth. I wanted a normal life. Then my problems began. enues were down 17 percent in 2003), and a $75,000 savings in sewer billing. My other concern was that we did not do our homework. Contrary to Councilwoman Dolce's suggestion, last year's council did not introduce a budget with a 10 percent increase. We faced a 10 percent increase when we started working on it, well before introduction. Councilwoman Dolce also suggested that we need to show as high an increase as possible to justify a high extraordinary aid award. In my opinion, we need to get our expenses down as much as possible before we go hat in hand to Trenton. Anything less is intellectually and morally dishonest. Partisan grandstanding? Maybe Mr. Sayles was referring to the roomful of Democratic Club cronies that packed council chambers in order to praise the mayor. In fact, if Mr. Sayles is correct, that such aid is the salvation of Fanwood, then my comments would be politically inept. Mr. Sayles is right in one respect: Tax relief is one of the principal duties of council. But I believe that we can achieve longer term stability by revitalizing and developing our downtown, increasing our tax revenues every year by $300,000 to $500,000 (according to estimates last year by our planner), than by cooking the books to make Fanwood's finances appear worse than they are. STUART KLINE Member, Fanwood Borough Council application a 'desperate' move To The Record-Press: I watched the televised meeting of the Fanwood Mayor and Council to discuss the budget and was appalled. I know our tax situation has gotten out of hand, but I was surprised to hear the mayor sacrifice the integrity of Fanwood for something she referred to as "Extraordinary Aid." When Mayor Colleen Mahr ran for the honor of serving as the mayor of Fanwood, she ran on the platform of controlling and lowering taxes. She spoke as though she knew how to do something clever and unique. On television, to all the citizens of Fanwood watching, she tried to explain why an 11 percent tax hike would put Fanwood in a position to ask Trenton for this program called "Extraordinary Aid." Is this her idea of tax relief—- begging Trenton for money along with communities like Hillside, Roselle and Elizabeth, which truly need this type of program? I commend Councilman Stuart Kline for taking a courageous stand at that meeting to articulate to the public that the mayor and council could have done a better job in preparing the budget. Although Mr. Kline explained that lie, too, wouldn't turn down money, he explained how this process was a one-time situation and, if granted, would come with some "strings attached," He also stated that even if these aid monies were totally granted, our tax increase would still be more than last year! Apparently, Ms. Mahr thought it better to rush through the budget process in order to meet a March 12 deadline to apply for an "extraordinary" means of lowering taxes. While campaigning, Ms. Mahr never explained that aid was her idea of tax relief. The previous administration had the answer of tax relief through redevelopment ratables. Now we will be known as a community in desperate need, rather than a forward-thinking and upward-moving community.

In contrast, the district's median faculty salary is within approximately 1 percent of the county average {$49,300 versus $48,708). Are we paying our administrators too much or our teachers too little? DAVID B.

I At least the speed humps are well-marked, so you can slow down in time, which gives me an idea. How about spray painting the pot holes (and semi-pot holes where the pavement is messed up) with white or day-glo yellow crosses so at least you have a chance to proceed with caution? There is such a rut across half the road on my street a block and a half from where I live that is a car wrecker even at a slow speed, so I always move to the other side of the road (as others who I've seen also do). I think the road was dug up concerning water lines, and covered over but an inch deep rut was left behind.

Every time one of my articles appeared in print I got a rush of satisfaction. I would walk into the college cafeteria and see people reading my article — my article! — and suddenly all the everyday anxieties vanished. It was a high better than any drug can produce. And being a journalist had some unexpected awards. A painfully shy and socially spastic person, 1 discovered I was adopting a new and better persona whenever I slipped into the role of a journalist. It was as if an ordinary nebbish could transform himself into a superhero just by arranging words on a piece of paper. When I was introduced to people at parties, they already knew who I was through my writing and I could see in their eyes they were hanging on every word I uttered as if I were a mystic or a celebrity. Being a journalist gave me the confidence I never had and it felt good — really good. I began writing more and more articles. And then I plunged into journalism even deeper, editing stories, writing headlines and designing pages. Soon I was spending more time at the newspaper office than in the classroom. But I didn't care; I had my weekly fix. Lord, have pity on this lost soul! After graduation, I took stock of my life and saw the damage journalism had inflicted, I tried finding another line of work but eventually, like any junkie, I couldn't resist and I took a job as a reporter for a weekly newspaper here in Central Jersey. I convinced myself it was only temporary until I found out what I really wanted to do with my life. But the die was cast in my very first week. On Tuesday, March 4, 1980, I went to a South Bound Brook Borough Council meeting. I arrived 15 minutes early and soon I began talking with a veteran daily newspaper reporter. He warned me of the dangers I was facing. "It gets into your blood," he said. Why, dear God, did I not take those words as a sign? Amen, Brother Michael! Now, almost a quarter century later, I'm hopelessly hooked. I'm a journalism junkie. I still feel the same surge of adrenaline when the clock accelerates toward deadline; I need that jolt to keep me going week to week. And when one of my reporters has an exclusive story that beats the competition, I feel the same rush of satisfaction that drowns all my other troubles. It still makes me feel brilliantly alive. But it's gotten worse. In the past few years, I've gone on a journalism binge, editing as many papers as I can and writing as many articles as I can. Journalism is consuming my life; the youthful energy that sustained me through countless all-nighters in the newsroom is fading. And though I still need my weekly fix, the adrenaline pump is tired and my Superman cape is tattered. I know I have problem, but I'm afraid of the cure. Detox is terrible — please never let them lock me inside a public relations office! Pray for him, brothers and sisters!

MIKE TARNOFSKY Wettftald The players should be put on some sort of probation. Ferguson supports marriage amendment THE RECORD-PRESS New Jersey Congressman Mike Ferguson (R-7) has signed on as a co-sponsor of a bill proposing a constitutional amendment that would define marriage as a union between a man and a woman and could eliminate civil unions between gay couples. In a letter written in response to correspondence from constituents, Ferguson says he believes the "institution of marriage between a man and a woman is a sacred bond protected for centuries by law, custom, and religious belief." He states further that "marriage between a man and a woman should be protected in law, especially from activist judges who are now attempting to re-define marriage." According to the official congressional database, Ferguson is one of 116 co-sponsors of House Judiciary Resolution 56, which was introduced by Rep. Marilyn Musgrave (R-Colo.) in May 2003. The federal amendment, which is currently being reviewed by the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, states: "Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman. Neither this Constitution or the constitution of any state, nor state or federal law, shall be construed to require that marital status or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon unmarried couples or groups." It would appear that an amendment worded in this manner would prevent gay couples from entering into civil unions as well as marriages, though some of the amendment's supporters have said that is not the case. However, the exact language of the constitutional amendment could be changed by the subcommittee before the amendment is debated in the House or Senate. Ferguson's office responded to a request to clarify his position on civil unions with an email message reiterating the congressman's statement regarding the institution of marriage.

It's Youth Art Month in downtown Westfield WESTFIELD — Residents and visitors in Westfield this March will once again find the downtown store windows decorated with an array of art created by local public school students. For the ninth consecutive year, national Youth Art Month is being celebrated by 47 downtown merchants who are displaying works of art produced by approximately 500 students from the Westfield Public Schools. Student art includes paintings, drawings, sculpture, and painted furniture designed by students of all ages from each of Westfield's nine public schools. Linda King, fine arts supervisor, commended the students, teachers and local merchants for making this annual event possible. "This exhibition is just a sampling of the wonderful art created by hundreds of Westfield students under the direction of our 19 art teachers. The merchants are enthusiastic and cooperative, and the residents have come to look forward to the artistic displays." Mayor Gregory McDermott signed an official proclamation, designating March as Youth Art Month in Westfield. of his delivery. Scotch Plains native Michelle Tropper and member Anne Baker also offered constructive criticism, admiring Mawby's ability to overcome extraneous noise and suggesting Mawby avoid putting his hands in liis pockets, since that might cue the audience to believe he is planning to unveil a prop. During the period in between the competitions, members practiced their speaking skills by telling narrative jokes and sometimes just mingling with new guests attending their meetings for the first time. Max Florville, a salesman from Metuchen, described the club as a "very supportive group" and said his eight years with the organization lias improved his ability to speak in front of others. "I come here three times a month and it really makes it easier for me," he said. "It's my laboratory, my practice session."

At left, a wooden pail is used to collect sap from a large maple tree outside the museum building. Sometimes it's good to be sappy WESTFIELD — A bank vault, a security guard, and more secrets than the CIA Such was the experience of Carol Ann Wilson, assistant director and children's head librarian at the Westfield Library, as she participated in the 2004 Newbery Award Selection process. The Newbery Medal is the oldest and most prestigious children's literature award in the nation. The award is administered by the Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association. It is considered the "Academy Award" of children's literature. Past Newbery winners have included The Voyages of Doctor Doolittle," The Witch of Blackbird Pond," "A Wrinkle in Time," "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry" and Holes just to name a few. "It's the Holy Grail for children's librarians," said Wilson last year when she was first elected to serve on the Newbery Selection Committee together with 14 other librarians nationwide. During a recent interview, Wilson made it clear that she could only discuss her feelings about the Newbery selection process and not the process itself. To add to the intrigue, it had been rumored that the final meetings took place in a bank vault with a security guard posted outside the door. Why all the secrecy? The award is the award," said Wilson. "We want to be sure that the award stands for itself and that one Newbery winner is not better than another because the title received more votes." The same notion holds true for the honor books as well. "Honor books are just that: distinguished literature in its own right, not runners-up." Wilson is thrilled by this year's Newbery winner, "A Tale of Despereaux" by Kate DiCamillo, which reads much like a familiar fairy tale with a tiny hero mouse gathering his courage to fulfill his dreams. What attracted Wilson the most was DiCamillo's way of addressing the reader directly, a rarity in children's literature. In addition, the mature themes can be read on many levels. After a year of intense reading and scrutiny, through emails and meetings with other committee members, Wilson narrowed the original 480 Newbery submissions to six favorite books. For two days, she met with the committee in a San Diego hotel wliich had previously been a bank, hence the secret meeting in a renovated bank vault room. And, in the nasty, brutish world of commercialization, a security gUcord was posted outside so that no one "inadvertently" stepped in on the meeting in progress — particularly publishers eager to hear the pros and cons of their books for marketing purposes. Who knew that library science could be so intriguing? The Westfield Library's children's collection contains over 30,000 books, including a special shelf dedicated to Newbery Medal winners. Library staff members congratulate the Newbery winners and salute Carol Ann Wilson, who demonstrated her commitment to children's literature by donating all 480 books she received for review — a collection valued at approximately $8,150 — to the Library.

'Les Miserables' opens Thursday in Scotch Plains SCOTCH PLAINS — A student production of "Les Miserables" will open 8 p.m. Thursday at Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School and run for six performances. Subsequent show dates are 8 p.m. March 19-20, 3 p.m. March 21 and 8 p.m. March 26-27 p.m. Tickets are available by calling (908) 3229616. "Lea Miserables," by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schonberg, retells in operatic form the 1,400-page novel of 1861 by Victor Hugo. The French author, born a decade after the French Revolution, captured the plight of "the unfortunate" — people neither powerful nor prosperous during the stressful and politically fast-moving decades of Hugo's early life. As an opera the tale of the wronged convict, Jean Valjean, and the people he helped entertained millions in countries around the world for more than a decade, closing in New York in the spring of 2003. This is the first season in which the show, in a school edition released for use by non-professionals, has been available in this area. Laurie Wellman is the show's producer. "It's unbelievable how our cast and our community has risen to the challenge of producing this demanding musical show," said Wellman. The set is so much more than walls at the back of the stage. We have 75 students, and most of them except the leads play two to five roles apiece." The show required more than 300 costumes. The stage setting with its barricade consumed an estimated 400 person hours for salvaging materials and construction. Tom Pedas of Cranford school system directs. "Les Mis' has a powerful story and great music," said Pedas. "We have the voices to pull it ofTand carry off the many technical challenges of this brilliant show." Players in key roles include Ryan Aspell (Marius), Devon Bonstein and Laura Manziano (the innkeepers Thenardier), Matthew Capodicasn (Javert), Adam Corbin (Grantaire), Abraham Hiatt (Jean Valjean), Tuan Nguyen fEnjolras), Lauren Perrotta <Eponine), Jill Prefach (Cosette) and Jackie Tumolo (Fantine). Vangelis Dimopoulos, Jake Forrestal and Daniel Pesin will share the role of the young street urchin Gavroche, and Jillian Gardner and Paige Mankin will alternate as young Cosette. The cast includes eight singers who are 2003 all-state chorus members selected by the New Jersey State Music Educators Association, and nine in the prestigious All Eastern choir of the Ameriaui Choral Director's Association. In addition to the performance, the cast and crew has taken up the show's social message. "Victor Hugo in his monumental novel 150 years ago dramatized needs that haven't gone away," said show director Tom Pedas. "Our students have recognized this not only on stage but in real-life engagements with the less fortunate. In keeping with the theme of 'Les Miserables,' the students sought opportunities throughout the community to show support for the needy." Appearing on Dec. 16, 2003, at St. Helen's Roman Catholic Church in Westfield, the cast entertained at a Christmas party for area homeless. The event was organized by St. Helen's youth director Patti Gardner, as well as Pedas and Wellman. Student performers Brittany McDonald, Abe Hiatt and Corey Fineman have also supported the "Yes, We Care" soup kitchen, housed in the Zion Lutheran Church in Clark. And on Feb. 1, cast members traveled to the First Baptist Church of Elizabeth, home of the Elmora Soup Kitchen. On behalf of the Interfftith Council for the Homeless of Union County, the cast will also conduct a canister drive during "Les Mis" performances.

March 12,2004 Uncord Press B-2 At Miss Nancy % kids find learning can be fun CRANFORD —As a parent, what do you want for their child? Do they want him or her to be baby-sat, or do you want him to have a joyful experience, one that will make him treasure learning and give him the joy of discovery? If this is what you desire, Miss Nancy's Learning Center can help make that goal possible. The school's unique teaching style makes learning a fun, enjoyable activity. Circle time is an important daily feature, giving each child an opportunity to experience learning in a special way. It is used to teach educational and social skills which are linked together in all the day's activities, and each child learns not only colors, shapes, letters, beginning phonics, math readiness and number recognition, but how these things relate to their daily lives. Both classes give much time to each child developing socialization skills, including the give and take of a group, verbalizing problems, sharing, taking turns, and of course good manners. The daily schedule also includes playtime, snack time, exercise, music, songs, crafts and a Bible story. Miss Nancy's Learning Center offers a special program for children who will turn 3 by Oct. 1, 2004. The class meets Monday and Tuesday. Parents may choose either the 9 a.m.-noon or the 1-4 p.m. session. The program is designed to enhance a child's growth, build self-esteem, improve socialization skills and lay a foundation for math, reading, science, art and music. Miss Nancy also offers a special pre-k class for children who will turn 4 by Oct. 1,2004. This class meets Wednesday through Friday from 9 a.m.-noon. It is equivalent to a 4-plus program, which has additional learning goals in the following areas: math readiness (recite and recognize at least to number 20 and associate quantity with numerals); reading readiness (recite, recognize and associate sound with letters); learning addresses and phone numbers, color mixing, months, seasons, nature, science and music. The school is located in the Cranford United Methodist Church at Walnut and Lincoln avenues, next to the Cranford Public Library. Parents who believe their child would benefit from a program tailor-made for him or her may call (908) 276-9668. Nancy Boyle, director of the center, will reserve a place for one's child, send a brochure, or schedule a visit to a class in action. Summer camp at Montessori SCOTCH PLAINS — L'Academy Montessori, located at 1577 E. Second St., has planned an exciting and free summer camp for children aged 2-6 whose parents register them for the September 2004 school year.

First Baptist Church, Elm Street, Record Press March 12, 2004 C-1 Sports .rf-lfe Raritan tops Raiders on the madness THE RECORD-PRESS February — you're fired. Finally, after making our sports penance by enduring the slow flurry of highlights and headlines know as February, we can begin basking in the sports renaissance known as March. The new month has lived up to its reputation by roaring in like a lion, as we've been hit with an avalanche of excitement that shows no signs of melting away soon. Already in March we've had Major League Baseball's steroid scandal escalate with reports of Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi, Gary Sheffield and others receiving packages from BALCO, a spring training "showdown" between the Yankees and Red Sox and Stanford pulling off another miracle finish to remain undefeated only to lose in its regular season finale two days later. The NFL Hot Stove heated up with another spending spree by the Washington Redskins, upgrades by both the Jets and Giants and the not-quite finalized trades of Tyrell Owens and Keyshawn Johnson. And that's just the first seven days. We still have the NCAA basketball tournament and St. Patrick's Day to celebrate. The "mid-major" college basketball tournaments — American East, Horizon, Atlantic Sun, etc. — which are more do-or-die than any game for a "bubble team" hit high gear early this week where fragile dreams of dancing the jig at the Big Dance turned tiny gymnasiums into full-fledged bastions of bedlam. Now this weekend we will be treated to the major conference tournaments, none bigger than the ACC's, which hits full stride Friday. On Friday the Greensboro Coliseum in North Carolina will host four of the most competitive, high-caliber, intense games well see in March. Of the eight teams, five are ranked in the top-17, with unranked Maryland, Florida State and Virginia combining for 10 wins over top-25 teams. If you need a way to tune up for the NCAA Tournament, which begins March 18, there is no better day to get in shape for a hoops marathon than Friday. Between the four ACC tournament games and the Big East semifinals, youll be hard-pressed to find a better day of basketball. In fact, Friday's four ACC tournament games is a better day of basketball than Final Four Saturday — more games, more excitement, less Greg Gumble, and the equally high level of competition in the" ACC. It is the perfect chance to start fine-tuning the excuses you're going to use to stay home next week to watch the first two days of the NCAA tournament and familiarize yourself with the top teams and best players to fill out your tourney grid. If you can't find a way to play hooky, Friday is the perfect opportunity to figure out how to get the sports ticker to scrawl across the bottom of your computer monitor or to make sure the update service is working on your cell phone. In the days leading up to the first round of the NCAA Tournament — two 16-game marathon days — I grow more anxious than somebody who's spent 30 minutes waiting in line for the bathroom after three pints of Guinness at The Jolley Trolley. But it isn't the quah'ty of the games that excites me; it's the quantity. I feel like an 8-year old on Christmas Day. But half the presents end up being sweaters and socks. On Friday we get the best of both worlds. Between the four ACC Tournament games and the two Big East Tournament semifinals, well have as much college basketball as our brain can absorb played at as high a level as you can ask. And that doesn't include the Big Ten, Atlantic 10 and Conference USA tournament games that will be televised on the same day. Friday's marathon of games is the perfect reward for enduring the slow bore of February and ushering in the rebirth of the sports year. If we're going to knock down the doors of the insane asylum to welcome March Madness, Friday is the perfect battering ram. GEORGE PACCIELLO/THE RECORD-PRESS Scotch Plains senior Derek Francaviila bounced back from a heartbreaking loss in the District 11 final to defeat Rahway's Ed McCray 9-1 In the Region 3 final Saturday. Francaviila and teammate Steve Mineo each won their second Region 3 championship. Mineo, Francaviila win titles Connelly, Silber, Tomasso advance to A.C. THE RECORD-PRESS Despite having defeated Ed McCray in the Union County Tournament final, Scotch PlainsFanwood High senior Derek Francaviila let the Rahway sophomore dictate the tempo of their rematch in the District 11 final, resulting in a 1-0 double overtime win for McCray. In the Region 3 tournament 125-pound final Saturday Francaviila wasn't going to make the same mistake, attacking McCray early and often to score a 9-3 victory and win his second regional championship. Junior Steve Mineo joined Francaviila in the winner's circle, winning the 130-pound crown, his second Region 3 title. Eric Connolly placed second at 140 and Andrew Silber was third at 171, after winning the weight last year. Westfield's Lee Tomasso, the 152-pound District 11 champion, placed third in the region to advance. Tomasso scored a takedown with 12 seconds remaining to knock off top-seeded Guy Severini of South Plainfield 3-1 in the wrestleback semifinals and topped Boonton's Matt Rathburn 6-2 in the consolation final. "When I won my first region title <sophomore year) I didn't think I wrestled well and was kind of mad at myself. I didn't realize how big a deal it was," said Francaviila. "I was definitely more excited Saturday." Francaviila defeated Nick Dorey of South Plainfield 12-0 in the quarterfinals and pinned John Reedy of New Providence in 3:01 in the semifinals. In the finals against McCray, Francaviila built a 5-0 lead after the first period and led 9-1 after two periods. "I felt I had to wrestle with a lot more urgency," said Francaviila. "When I lost to (McCray) in the districts I let him control the pace of the match. I wasn't taking it to him. "Starting at the regions my plan is to take it to whoever I'm wrestling for the whole six minutes and let the chips fall where they may." Bouncing back from a disappointing district tournament isn't new to Francaviila. He fell in last year's district final to Amin Queen of Elizabeth but came back to finish second in the region and place fourth in the state finals. "He knew he didn't wrestle the way he needed to wrestle and he was able to reflect on that and get himself where he needed to be," said Scotch Plains Head Coach John Scholz. "I told him he'd been there before and he knows what it takes. I told him he knew what path to take but this time he could take a different route, meaning winning the region tournament. "He was aggressive and not backing down and wrestled excellent. It's great for his confidence to go into the states as a region champ." Francaviila earned the second seed in the top-half of the 125- pound bracket. His first match will be against the winner between Tom Roberto (30-2) of Notre Dame and Jarred Sauer (29-2) of Sterling. Mineo (27-3) is the fourth seed in the bottom of the 130-pound bracket, and will face the winner of the bout between Brian McDonnell (31-2) of Kearny and Chris Cartella (24-7) of Clearview. "I'm excited to see what he can do," said Scholz. "He hasn't peaked yet. He should have a great state tournament." Connelly will face Andrew Coles (30-3) of Eastern and Silber will face Jared Duffy '21-6> of Phillipsburg. Tomasso faces the second-seed in the top of the 152-pound bracket, Mark D'elia (33-4) of Belleville. Preliminary and pre-quarterfinal matches begin 6 p.m. today at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. Quarterfinals begin 10 a.m. Saturday, with semifinals scheduled for 5 p.m. The consolation finals will be 10 a.m. Sunday and the championship round is scheduled to begin 2 p.m. Sunday. The Scotch Plains-Fanwood High boys basketball team's duo of outstanding sophomores. Lance Thomas and Derrick Caracter, did just about all they could do to carry the Raiders tlirough the sectional tournament, but Scotch Plains came up two wins short, falling in the North Jersey Section 2, Group 3 semifinals. The Raiders were knocked off by eventual sectional champ Raritan 78-59 Saturday. Raritan, ranked 13th in the state, defeated previously unbeaten No. 3 South Plainfield in a thrilling sectional final Tuesday's 53-52. During the state tournament run Thomas averaged 22 points per game and Caracter 23 points. The two sophomore big men combined to average 45 of the Raiders 61 points per game. Scotch Plains defeated Vborhees in the first round and Morris County champ West Morris in the quarterfinals, before falling to Raritan. Raritan 78, Scotch Plains 59 — Raritan built a 12-point lead early in the fourth quarter then reeled off 17 of the next 21 points to build a 67-45 lead with 3:20 left. Raritan scored 34 points in the fourth quarter to ensure Scotch Plains never got within striking distance. Thomas scored 21 points and grabbed 10 boards for the Raiders and Caracter added 14 points and 10 rebounds and three blocks. Raritan (78) Calhoun 6-2-1-19, Johnson 10-0-2-22, Nunes 4-0-8-16.

Thomas and Caracter combined for 53 of the Raiders 58 points, including all 13 in the overtime session. Thomas finished with 25 points, five in the OT, and Caracter poured in 28 points, eight in the overtime. A three-point play by Thomas with 1:36 left in overtime gave the Raiders a 52-48 lead.

The Raiders fell" to the Bulldogs in the North Jersey Section 2, Group 3 final for the third straight season, losing 64-49 Monday night at East Orange Campus High School. Scotch Plains had reached the sectional final by winning three games on the road against state ranked opponents, knocking off No. 20 North Hunterdon 43-31, No. 9 Orange 69-64 and 10th ranked Voorhees 76-54. But once again the Raiders couldn't find a way to topple the state's best team, defending Tournament of Champions winner and top ranked Shabazz. The Bulldogs had too much fire power, with four players finishing in double-digits. Hillary Klimowricz led the Raiders with 20 points and Maura Gillooly added 10. Jenny Burke scored nine points and Elizabeth DeCataldo had eight, "They're just more atliletic and aggressive," said Burke. "The way we had been playing we came in believing we had a chance to beat them. On any given day we could have beaten them." Shabazz built a 16-point halftime edge and the lead swelled to as many as 22 in the third quarter. "You can't fall behind early to a team like that," said Head Coach Brian Homm, "But we didn't give up and we fought back and got back into the game." The Raiders eventually sliced the lead in half, pulling to within nine points at 54-45 with just under four minutes remaining in the game. Shabazz then held the ball, forcing Scotch Plains to foul, and iced the game from the free throw line, making 10 of 12 free throws in the final 2:33. As disappointing as a third straight loss to Shabazz was for the Raiders, Scotch Plains had strung together some of its best basketball over the last three years to get there. Beginning with its march to the Union County Tournament title the Raiders had won 11 straight, the final three on the road against state-ranked opponents. "The Union County Tournament got us going in the right direction," said Burke. "We read about Voorhees saying they were looking forward to playing Shabazz (in the sectional final) and we picked it up and played some of the best basketball we've played." T h e kids played hard and stepped it up," said Homm. "We lost to some good teams early in the season and that may have paid off for us in the long run. It was a tough bracket but the kids played hard and played well." After 15 years Homm resigned as both varsity girls basketball coach and varsity baseball coach. Tom Baylock will take over as the head baseball coach this spring. Homm said he'll continue to teach physical education at the high school. When asked why he resigned, Homm cited personal reasons but added, "Sometimes you get a few parents that can make life miserable. It really takes the fun out of coaching and that's not what I'm there for. For 15 years I've coached two varsity sports. That's 30 seasons. It can get tiring." Shabazz (64) Ajavon 3-1-3-12.

Scotch Plains 76, Voorhees 54 — Hillary Klimowicz filled up the stat sheet in almost every way possible Saturday in leading the Raiders to a 76-54 victory over Voorhees in the sectional semifinals. Klimowicz scored 26 points, grabbed 15 rebounds, blocked six shots and had six steals to lead a dominating effort by the Raiders. Four Scotch Plains starters scored in double figures, with Maura Gillooly scoring 16 points and Jenny Burke and Jenn Russell each scoring 12.

According to the latest deed statistics there's a great deal of evidence to support this. In the year leading up to August 2003, the median price for New Jersey single-family honjes increased by 6 percent, to $248,200 from $229,000. With the exception of Hudson County, whose numbers aren't available yet, the median home price increased in all counties. As would be expected, the region with the highest median price was North Jersey, followed by Central Jersey and then South Jersey, as reported by Superior Information Services. Union and Cape May counties shared the spotlight for the highest percentage change in price at 33 percent. The smallest percentage change in median price was reported in Mercer County, with a relatively modest 5 percent increase. Even at the 5 percent level, housing continued to be a better investment than many others. It's interesting to note that the county with the highest median price did not have the highest percentage change in price. Although Morris County reported a median price of $395,000 for August 2003, it was only up 13 percent from August 2002, a far cry from the 33 percent figure that led the pack. Numbers like this give substance to the argument that the very top of the housing market is cooling off. Although the price of premium and luxury homes continues to rise, they are rising at a slower rate than lower-priced homes. For example, the median price in Union County was $285,000, up 33 percent compared to August 2002. This would suggest that the middle of the market is seeing strong, continued demand. But there's more to the housing market than price; the number of homes being sold tells another important story. A total of 15,241 single-family homes changes hands in the Garden State last August. During August 2003, 35 percent fewer homes sold, with only 9,911 sales. Although increases in the number of sales were reported in Sussex, Ocean, Atlantic and Cape May counties, the number of sales dropped in all other reporting counties. So shouldn't prices go down with these fewer sales? In almost any other market, fewer sales generally trigger lower prices. Based upon supply and demand, prices should drop when the same number of sellers is chasing fewer buyers. But the exact opposite is happening in real estate. The supply is simply not there, and there is apparently no drop in demand. Unless we discover some new areas for development which were previously overlooked, there's little hope of this changing any time soon, especially as the economy appears to be recovering. This is becoming a big problem for larger-scale homebuilders in New Jersey who have been running out of development sites for some time now. State officials report that the employment rate in New Jersey is increasing while the employment rate for the country as a whole, including our neighboring states, is dropping. As the economy continues to rebuild, people will need more housing. In part this demand is being met by smaller, local developers who build and/or renovate on a much smaller scale than the major developers. The emerg- ing business of these micro-developers is to build one house at a time or perhaps a row of adjacent single- or multifamily homes on a series of adjacent lots. Jack Da Silva, the Regional Owner of EXIT Realty of New Jersey and Connecticut, sees the potential for a significant contribution by these microdevelopers. "By working one lot at a time, small developers are helping to provide a measure of housing relief today. This is most effective in areas where municipalities are approving zoning variances. "In some cases, municipalities are approving variances that allow singleand multifamily homes to be built on lots that were zoned for business purposes and are today abandoned. Abandoned property detracts from the community and requires costly municipal services without any offsetting revenue. The townships and cities that favor this kind of development are reversing urban blight and creating housing opportunity at the same time. Best yet, as these homes become occupied, property tax revenues are created."

Convention offers builders up-to-date info Environmental regulations figure prominently in the development plans of all New Jersey builders. The Atlantic Builders Convention (ABC) will have experts on hand to discuss recent rule changes and the resulting impacts on development in a series of four seminars on environmental issues at the 55th Annual Atlantic Builders Convention (ABC). The ABC, to be held March 17-19 at the Atlantic City Convention Center, is the Northeast's largest building industry trade show. "New Jersey's builders are committed to the highest standards of environmental protection," said Peter J. Hovnanian, president of the New Jersey Builders Association. "To achieve these standards, we must address increasingly complex issues. The ABC panels will provide builders with the technical information we need." Attendees will also gain upto-date information about the latest market trends, government policies and technical developments at more than 35 additional seminars. The seminars, which are open only to registered ABC attendees, include four sessions that will discuss environmental issues: Thursday, March 18 Brownfields: Hype or Reality? The reclamation of brownfields is key to what some call "smart growth." These abandoned, often contaminated sites are touted as potential places to develop. The Governor and DEP say they are making it easy to develop these sites. Are they? This panel of experts will provide the details of the regulatory changes as well as some realworld examples of what is hap- pening in New Jersey. 11 a.m. Trends in Land Use & Environmental Law. New legislation, regulations and court decisions relating to environmental issues and the land development review process in general have altered the legal framework within which real estate is developed. A panel of land use and environmental attorneys will examine the most recent significant changes and discuss their implication for the future. 11 a.m. Environmental Permitting: The Annual Review, This has been a busy year at the DEP. There are new stormwater rules, new . Category One streams, and revised mapping protocols for threatened and endangered species protection, changes to the freshwater wetland rules and of course the DEP map. This group of experts a record of nearly 300 entries. NAR President Walt McDonald said the Good Neighbor Awards gives NAR the opportunity to honor some of the many Realtors who give of themselves to improve the quality of life in their communities. "Realtors are involved in their communities in many different ways. They understand what their community is all about, and they jump right in to fill a need. The Good Neighbor Awards is a way to recognize outstanding members who often work behind the scenes to make their community a better place to live and to build bridges of community understanding." Last year's winners, who contributed a combined total of nearly 8,000 hours to their causes, drew a standing ovation from more than 6,000 Realtors at the annual conference general session. The 2003 winners were James Austin Jr., Fort Worth, Texas, for creating the Renaissance Cultural Center and the National Cowboys of Color Museum; Jim Bess Sr., Apple Valley, Calif., for founding Victor Valley Toys for Tots; Claudia Deprez, West Palm Beach, Fla., for founding Northend Coalition of Neighborhoods; James Pacheco, Castro Valley, Calif., for starting a chapter of Christmas in April; and Bobbie Tugwell, Baton Rouge, La., for supporting Hospice of Baton Rouge. "As founding sponsor of the Good Neighbor Awards, I get energized by what Realtors are accomplishing at the grassroots level to help their communi- MORRIS PLAINS — Weichert Relocation Resources Inc. recently announced that 2003 was an outstanding year for the company, marked by a series of accomplishments reflecting the company's mission to provide superior service and the best value in the relocation industry. "The past year was one of unprecedented growth and achievement for our company," noted Aram Minnetian, president of WRRI. "We introduced new services and programs, expanded our global service capabilities, and implemented important value initiatives to meet our clients' worldwide mobility needs." The most significant milestone was the acquisition and successful integration of Relocation Resources International, which secured WRRI's position as the industry's third largest relocation and assignment management company. "We now have more than 500 colleagues, who represent the brightest minds in the relocation and assignment management industry," said Minnetian. "These colleagues are motivated and united under a common purpose: delivering brighter solutions that lead to brighter futures for our clients and their employees." WRRI had a number of significant client signings in 2003, adding AstraZeneca, Boeing, Boston Scientific, Cargill, T. Rowe Price and other distinguished companies to a client roster already rich with Fortune 500 corporations. WRRI's enhanced suite of services, particularly its comprehensive assignment management solutions, generated an unprecedented number of expanded client relationships as well. WRRI also launched a new website and the next generation of FlashPoint, its custom web portal for clients and relocating employees, which features an advanced reporting engine that delivers an unparalleled range of reports from pre-move cost estimates to total cost by employee. Through FlashPoint, WRRI's will explain all the changes and the impacts on development in New Jersey. 2 p.m. Friday, March 10 Stormwater: A Completely New Look. This year saw a complete rewrite of the Stormwater Management rules. The new rules require a different approach to controlling stormwater and include numerous new thresholds to be met. In addition, a new companion rule requires that the municipality review and approve of stormwater plans. What will this mean in terms of getting approvals? This program will provide a comprehensive overview of the new rules and WESTFIELD — RE/MAX how to meet them. 10 a.m. Properties Unlimited in Additional information on Westfield has welcomed two new convention registration, events sales associates, Janice Tittel and and seminars is available Donna Nackson.

In November, five winners will be announced in REALTOR Magazine and will be recognized at the 2004 Realtors Conference & Expo in Orlnndo. The winners will receive travel expenses to the convention, national media exposure for their community cause, and a $7,500 grant. In addition to the winners, five honorable mentions will each receive a $1,500 grant. Last year's program drew ment. Some critics of development cite the paving over of New Jersey as a sure route to environmental catastrophe. At the same time, economic recovery requires housing. "Maintaining quality of life requires that we approach development with long-term vision, managed with municipal policies of moderation and balance," Da Silva said. "Our grandchildren will live in the communities we are building today. New Jerseyans have a duty to ensure that we leave future generations with environmentally, economically and esthetically sustainable communities," said Da Silva. "We also have a duty to protect the values of the present generation. If we expect to enjoy the benefits of economic recovery, we must have a viable environment for business, and this means we must also create housing. Each municipality has a duty to partner with local business, real estate interests and homeowners, and assess their master plan in light of changes in the local economy. Demand for housing is at an all-time high and being part of the solution has never been more important," Da Silva added. clients and their employees have real-time access to the information they need whenever they need it. "When we say 'real-time,' we mean it," added Schneider. "FlashPoint is a fully integrated, single platform system, so data is available as soon as it is entered. Our single platform also offers superior data integrity and security from initiation through to final billing." Perhaps most satisfying, WRRI colleagues continued to rally around the company's CommunityCare program, donating their time and talents to such worthy causes as the Northern Illinois Food Bank, the Greater Boston Food Bank, Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS), the Calgary Inter-Faith Food Bank and the American Cancer Society. Colleagues closed out the year with their successful Annual Coat Drive, collecting winter weather gear for local homeless shelters. "Looking back on our accomplishments over the past year, we have much to be proud of," noted Minnetian. "As we build on these successes, there is little doubt that 2004 will be an even brighter year for our clients, their employees and our colleagues." Weichert Relocation Resources Inc.

March 12,2004 Record-Press Automotive/Classified Don't forget to tune up ARA — Just because yOu and your vehicle made it through winter doesn't mean you can coast like a beach bum into summer. The hot-weather months presents its own unique challenges. Extreme heat, humidity, and heavy stop-and-go traf. fie can cause marginal systems to fail. Springtime offers an ideal opportunity to fix the wear and tear of last season's cold weather driving while preparing for the busy vacation season. The experts at the non-profit National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence offer the following tips on getting your vehicle ready for summer: Read the owner's manual and follow the recommended service schedules. The manual contains a complete checklist of services and schedules and other important information about your vehicle. Flush and refill the cooling system according to the service manual's recommendations. The level, condition, and concentration of the coolant should be checked periodically Have engine performance problems — hard starts, rough idling, stalling — corrected. You'll get better gasoline mileage and you might just prevent more expensive repairs later on. Check the tightness and con- dition of belts, clamps and hoses. Have a marginally operating air conditioner system serviced by a qualified technician. Change the oil and oil filter as specified in owner's manual. Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended in the service manual. Check the condition of tires, including the spare. Don't neglect your transmission. Costly repairs can be prevented by routine service. For safety and convenience, inspect all lights and bulbs; replace burned out bulbs. Replace worn wiper blades and keep plenty of washer solvent on hand to fight summer's dust and insects. Mercedes investing in youth The h o t of summer can be as damaging to a vehicle as the cold of winter. Springtime is a great time to have a mechanic do a thorough check of the vehicle.
