CHERYL ORSON/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER A backhoe dumps PCB-contaminated soil into an awaiting dump truck as a PMK employee supervises this process.

Anthrax testing results awaitedBy CHERYL ORSONS T A F F W R IT E R

EDISON — Anthrax testing at the Kilmer Postal Facility was performed on Aug. 18, spokesperson Dan Quin con­firmed.

The company URS spent three to four hours testing vari­ous areas in the postal facility including -where mail was received and processed.

No employees were tested and no suspicious illnesses were reported.

Results of facility testing were unavailable at the time of publication.

Stating this was a “precau­tionary” measure, Quin said post offices handling mail to zip codes 085 and 086, which had originated from the now-shut Hamilton Postal Facility which had processed anthrax-contami­nated mail in October, were being tested.

This followed the previous finding of an anthrax spore in a Princeton mailbox, presumably from one of the contaminated letters, earlier this month.

The Monmouth Processing and Distribution Center in Eatontown, also receiving mail from the closed Hamilton facili­ty, was likewise tested.

Both the Edison and Monmouth facilities remained open during testing with postal officials stating there was no danger to the public or postal employees. No areas were sealed

SOUTH PLAINFIELD — The PCB “hot spot” in Veterans Park has been dug out, confirmed PMK Group Vice President James Johnston.

On Monday and Tuesday a backhoe dug out the soil in a 50-square-foot, 1-foot deep area, dumping it into an awaiting dump truck.

A resident, sitting on a picnic table in the back yard of his home only a few feet from this open site, watched as the soil was dug up.

Despite the presence of PCBs, neither a PMK employee or the backhoe operator wore protective clothing or masks in performing this work.

The soil was carted away and will be properly disposed elsewhere. Johnston said the intention of this work was to eliminate all PCB in the park.

Johnston further said a summary of the present work and future recommendations were expected to be issued to the borough council by Friday. He said it would be up to the borough and state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), also conduct­ing testing in the park, as to what would be done next.

With data collecting still being performed, no specific plans have been made, Johnston said.

The data should determine the extent and vol­ume of other contaminants, including black ooze, estimated to be from 6-inches to 4-feet under­ground. Johnston said PMK recommends the mate­rials likewise be removed and disposed of else­where.

PMK is also recommending asbestos tiles found

HIGHLAND PARK — A candlelight service has been scheduled to mark the first anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon.

The service is 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 10 on the Highland Park High School football field at 102 N. Fifth Ave. To accommodate the service, a Borough Council conference meeting scheduled for Sept. 10 has been canceled.

Pallone, speaking with quadrapeligic couple Betty and Ed Gill and others from various assistance programs for the dis­abled, said he was in favor of MiCASSA, a proposed bill allow­ing the disabled to use Medicaid to hire home aides rather than entering nursing homes.

The representative said this would help the disabled remain

independent and active and save money on institutional costs.

On Superfund sites, Pallone said a letter has been sent to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) requesting more extensive conta­mination testing be done at Middlesex Borough’s Middlesex Sampling Plant, a former atomic research site.____________ For Edison’s

Pallone said he supports the idea of expanding Medicare to cover prescription drug costs. He said he is against “privatization” — giving vouchers to seniors to buy their health insurance and prescription plans — as these options are often unavailable to seniors in the first place.

Pallone further said he sup­ports the patient bill of rights allowing doctors and patients to make health care decisions as opposed to health management organizations, (HMOs). The

No tax increase in South PlainfieldBy CHERYL ORSCmS T A F F W R IT E R

SOUTH PLAINFIELD — For the third time since 1995, there will be no increase in the .munic­ipal property tax rate.

During a special meeting Monday night, the council intro­duced the 2003, $20.5 million budget, not increased from last year. The 2003 tax levy, the amount of the 2003 municipal budget to be raised by taxes, is $11.9 million, again not increased from last year.

The municipal property tax rate, the amount individual resi­dents are expected to pay based on their houses’ assessed value (which in turn is based on state and county equalized rates tak­ing into consideration what area houses actually sell for on the open market, as opposed to their taxed assessed value) is, as it was last year, 86 cents per $100 of assessed value.

This means that for a South Plainfield resident owning a

house assessed at the average value of $115,000, taxpayers will be paying $990 annually in municipal taxes, unchanged from last year. This does not include school tsixes.

Mayor Daniel Gallagher said he and the council were pleased to be able to put together a bud­get without a an increase in the municipal tax rate, benefiting residents.

“I don’t think there’s an3dhing that I could say at this point that would not be complimentary,” said Mayor Gallagher.

Gallagher cited several fac­tors in not having to increase the municipal tax rate. He said municipal spending is flat, even less than the cost of living. Another factor Gallagher cited was the lowering of the debt left by the previous administration. He said the debt has been low­ered by over $10 million. Further, he said there are no one-time revenue increases in

Illegal students given month to leave the school districtBYUBBYBARSKYC O R R E S P O N D E N T

SOUTH PLAINFIELD — Parents who do not live in the borough but whose children are enrolled in South Plainfield schools will have the month of September to remove them from the rolls before legal action will be instituted, according to a revised policy approved Tuesday by the Board of Education.

For over two years, the board has had a residen­cy officer, Kenneth Van Kleef, who conducts sur­veillance on students who have been identified as illegal.

The results of his investigations are used in court to prove that the students are indeed illegal­ly enrolled in the district. The parents or guardians must pay tuition for the number of days they have been illegally in class.

The revised pohcy is being offered as an incen­tive for the parents to remove their enrolled chil­dren before leged action is taken so as to save the board legal fees.

A letter about the revised policy is being pre­pared to go out to all South Pljiifield parents under Van Kleef s signature.

“If these families are wiUing to step up and leave the district we would be more than happy,” said Daniel Smith, who sponsored the motion to revise the pohcy.

“I don’t think we should give these people a month,” former board president Doris Haley said. “We worked a long time to get someone here to investigate illegal students.”

According to current board President Frank Mikorski, a bill is being drafted in the state legis- latme that would require famihes of such students to pay the district’s legal costs.

Chief Financial Officer Glen Cullen, also a resident, called the budget “fiscally sound” stat­ing there is a “zero increase, no increase whatsoever.” He credit­ed the “pay as you go” policy with “keeping a lid on spend­ing.” He further said the debt decrease was “really some­thing.”

Councilman James Vokral, also a finance committee mem­ber, credited departmental man­agement of expenses, including personnel and overtifiie, with keeping costs down. He said the borough also seeks grants and alternate ways of pa3dng for pro­jects other than using taxes. He predicted the borough’s debt would be retired entirely within a few years.

On a more positive note, test­ed mailboxes outside of postal facilities involved have produced negative results. Based on this, postal officials are hopeful the facilities themselves will like­wise test negative.

sticking point, though, is whether these doctors and patients should have the right to sue HMDs when it comes to decision-making and conse­quences.

Other legislation to lower prescription drug costs, previously passed by the Senate and being voted on in the House, includes the use of generic drugs and re-importation of drugs from Canada. He said, though, neither piece of legislation is like­ly to be passed by the House.

He further said suggested legislation to force price controls on drug companies simply does not have enough votes.

On a nrore hopeful note, he said Medicare recipients represent a large political bargaining chip which, if expanded to include prescription drug coverage, could be used as leverage against drug companies to lower costs, as has already been done for the military and other government agen­

cies.Constituents told Pallone that rather than Wall

Street insider trading and CEO book-cooking scandals, their concerns were more about “main street” and illicit hiring practices. Several spoke out against the firing of American workers only to be replaced by the hiring foreign workers with so- called HI Visas at substantially lower salaries. Pallone said he would look into this issue though making no promises about any concrete action.

Lastly, on Homeland Security, Pallone said though the House passed a bill allowing the cre­ation of this department with a cabinet-level sec­retary, he and others question such dubious prac­tices allowed under this legislation including buy­ing security equipment from overseas, the ques­tionable status of those involved in this program and questionable security screening procedures. He said he does, however, support legislation involving bio-terrorism as overseen by committee of which he is a member.

Johnston said the mixture of soil and asbestos tile could sim­ply be “capped” by dumping more soil on top of this.

DeAndrea chosengrand marshal of Labor Day paradeBy CHERYL ORSONSTAFF WRITER

' SOUTH PLAINFIELD — Lifelong borough resident Joseph DeAndrea has been cho-

■ sen as the 2002 Labor Day parade’s grand marshal.

“I’m very excited, it’s a great honor,” said DeAndrea stating he is honored to be named alongside previous illustrious grand marshals.

A graduate of the borough’s grammar schools, DeAndrea later graduated from St. Joseph’s High School in Metuchen and Catholic University in Washington, D.C. From there DeAnrea went on to even greater success as a licensed architect and member of the American Institute of Architects. He also became a licensed planner and building inspector.

He currently owns and runs his own architectural firm housed in building he designed at the corner of South Clinton and New Market avenues.

Not forgetting his roots, DeAndrea has participated in many community programs. Currently serving as the Chairman of the Construction

Board of Appeals, he has also been involved with the high school’s Booster Club and golf association and the business association. DeAndrea has fur­ther served as past president of the Rotary Club, past vice pres­ident of the borough’s wrestling club and a former junior base­ball and soccer club coach.

“I love doing things with and for the community,” said DeAndrea stating he never expected nor sought an award

recognition for “just doing

things I like to do.”DeAndrea has also had a

successful personal life. He is married to his wife, Peggy and has three children Jospeh, 17, Peter, 15 and Jeannine, 11.

Amazingly, DeAndrea did and continues to do all of this despite having potentially life- threatening medical problems. For 19 years, DeAndrea was on kidney dialysis three days a week, a very exhaustive proce­dure. Three years ago, DeAndrea became a kidney transplant recipient.

Not letting personal chal­lenges deter him, as an archi­tect, DeAnrea literally changed the look of borough. During the past year he designed and over­

saw the construction of the new Senior Recreation Center on Maple Avenue. Further up the street, he had previously helped to design the PAL Recreation Department build­ing’s expansion and served as project coordinator on that pro­ject. He has also served as the architect and advisor on Borough Hall’s ongoing renova­tions.

As for what DeAndrea’s future designs are, he said his plans are simple.

“I hope it’s a nice day. I plan on enjo5nng it. My wife and kids are looking forward to it,” said DeAndrea stating he will con­tinue to march on serving the borough and its programs.

Drug bust results in five arrestsBy CHERYL ORSONSTAFF WRITER

SOUTH PLAINFIELD — An early morning drug bust resulted in the arrest of five suspects on various narcotic offenses, three residing in one house and two in a vehicle allegedly fleeing the scene.

Following a lengthy investi­gation into alleged drug traf­ficking in the area, at 1 a.m. on Aug. 21 the borough’s Detective Bureau, aided by the Union County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Canine Unit, execut­ed a search w arrant at 149

.Edgar Ave. Seized were ■ cocaine, heroin, paraphernalia and a pellet rifle with a scope.

Arrested were James Michael Arrindell, 51, Stephanie Hollis, 49 and Jesse

' Runyon, 27, all residents of 149 Edgar Ave. Arrindell was

1 charged with two counts of con­tempt of court including a an active w arrant from the Middlesex County sheriff’s Department for non-support.

Hollis was charged with pos­session of cocaine, possession with intent to distribute, pos­session of heroin and posses­sion of paraphernalia. She was transported to the Middlesex County Adult Correctional Center in lieu of $20,000 bail. Runyon was charged with unlawful possession of a weapon and was released on a summons.

While conducting the raid, a

vehicle approached the house and then left at a high rate of speed. The vehicle was stopped and the Occupants arrested and charged with possession of marijuana. The occupants were Leland Jones, 22, of South End Parkway in Plainfield and Damien Tippett, 22, of Evergreen Road in Edison. Tippett was also charged with contempt of court. Both were released on summonses.

MIDDLESEX — A recent report on the Middlesex Sampling Plant, a Superfund site, has ofB- cials concerned about groundwa­ter contaminated uranium, arsenic, chromium and lead reach­ing area wells.

‘To my knowledge, they have done a good job of removing the contaminated soil of the smface from the sampling plant, so that’s no longer an issue,” said Ralph Magliette, Chairman of the Middlesex BoroughEnvironmental Commission (MBEC). ‘The problem I see is that with the activity that took place, the groimdwater has been contaminated with uranium 238, as well as other heavy metals.”

The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) states in its report that there are no exposures to health hazards as long as there are safe­ty precautions on the site, which is a 9.6 acre parcel located by Mountain Avenue and near Williams Street. TTie report also states that approximately 140 wells are within the vicinity of the site and should be monitored regu­larly.

‘"The fact that it says there is no longer any health risks is absolutely incorrect,” said Magliette. “There are no plans now to do a pump and treat. 'There has been no treatment of the groundwater for 40 years. Water has a mind of its own, and the con­taminates move with it. When it migrates off the site, it goes to the wells closest to it.”

The site contained a brick ware­house in 1943 that was leased for the Manhattan Engineer District to sample uranium ores to develop the atomic bomb. Workers were sworn to secrecy. The Atomic Energy Commission then pur­chased the property. Uranium and other materials were sampled at this time. In 1967, all activities stopped on the site and it was decontaminated by a government

contractor. In 1996, two residents’ wells were found to be contami­nated with urauiium.

Maghette said the Department of Environment (DOE) and the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) should evaluate the extent of the contaminated water and bring it back to the site to treat it. He said the residents with these wells should be notified and have their wells tested.

“They need to then come up with alternative ways for the city water to get to the residents,” he said. “The DOE and the DEP (Department of Environmental Protection) need a plan to have the water lines run so people can hook up to them.”

Magliette said it is the respon­sibility of the DOE and DEP to run the extension to the city water line, which costs approximately $10,000 to $20,000. 'Hie residents having to hook up to the city water line have to pay a fee of approximately $1000, Magliette said.

Another concern Magliette said was that since the groundwater is migrating in a southerly direction toward Piscataway, a construction project on Maple Grove may cause some problems.

“They need to make sure the contamination is not there,” he

said. ‘"The workers will be thete digging and will be exposed to this. It needs to be evaluated before any work can be done. Also, the people moving into the coiji- plex should be told they might buy a home next to a Superfund site.

Magliette said the mayor has plans to meet with AS'TDR fo express concerns. He said this should be taken care of as soon as possible.

“I am very concerned this was allowed to go unchecked for 40 years,” he said. “We need immedi­ate action to protect the pubhc health. It is a dutiful thing that needs to be done.”

All the metals found contami­nating the groundwater are con­sidered toxic, said Magliette. Uranium can cause cancer and birth defects. The heavy metals might also cause death, he said.

‘Uranium also has a very high half life,” he said. “If it’s foimd in the groundwater, it could persist for a long time.”

Magliette said even though he is concerned about these private wells, there is no data to support that at this time.

“But the report says the groundwater is migrating off site,” he said. “People could be pulling the contamination from the wells and into their kitchen sink.”

CommentaryBrown grass is beautiful

Everyone in New Jersey knows it has been a long, hot summer.

After a few years of relatively mild tem peratures, we’ve suffered through day after day of 90 degree w eather with stifling humidity.

Worse, there has been a serious lack of rain, which has stalled the state’s recovery from a severe drought. A thun­derstorm or two can bring welcome rain, but it isn’t enough. And the need to conserve w ater is still para­mount.

First, residents need to know th a t brown is beautiful. Grass does not need to be watered; it’s one of the oldest plants on E arth and can survive a drought. With the drought still having the state in its clutches, there are bet­te r uses for our most precious resource — water.

There are other m easures residents can take;Repair leaky toilets. A leaky toilet can waste up to 200

gallons of w ater per day. A toilet leak can be detected by adding a few drops of food coloring to the w ater in the toi­let tank. If the colored water appears in the bowl, the toi­let is leaking.

Repair leaky pipes and faucets. A slow steady drip can waste 350 gallons of w ater per month. Not only does this waste w ater it increases your sewer bill and can increase your energy costs if it is hot water.

Turn off faucets when not in useDo not let the faucet run when shaving, use rinse w ater

in the sink.’ Do not let the faucet run when brushing your teeth, use a glass of w ater to rinse.

Do not let the faucet run until the w ater is cold enough to drink, refrigerate a pitcher of water.

Do not let the faucet run when rinsing vegetables, use a pan of w ater or the sink instead.

Defrost foods in the refrigerator or microwave ra ther th an under running water.

Install w ater conserving faucet aerators and shower- heads.

If you do not have a low flow toilet, place a weighted plastic bottle in the tan k to displace a portion of the water, taking care to keep the bottle clear of any moving parts.

Take shorter showers or a shower instead of a bath.* Run washing machines only when full and on the prop­e r load size selection.. Run dishwashers only when full, using the w ater saver

feature if available.If pre-rinsing dishes use the sink and do not let the

faucet run.Turn off icemakers and use trays instead.Use paper or recyclable plates and cups to cut down on

dishwashing.. Use a broom or blower instead of the hose to clean off sidewalks and driveways.■ If watering don’t w ater the sidewalks, driveway or street.

Use w ater from the dehumidifier to w ater household plants.

If upgrading appliances or plumbing fixtures choose the ones th a t conserve water. A high efficiency, front loading washing machine can use 30 percent less w ater th an a top loading niodel.

Letters to the editor

Disabled should live in own hom esTo The Editor:MiCASSA - Our homes, not nursing homes!Due to disability, two million Americans reside in

nursing homes and other institutions. According to David Braddock, PhD, the national average cost per year of institutional care for an individual in 1996 was $94,000 versus $27,000 for community-based services.

Presently, to afford long-term care services, you may have to rely on Medicaid. Since Medicaid is biased toward institutionalization, you may have no choice but a nursing home for the rest of your life.

With all the advances in science, we now live longer with our disabilities.

How will the nation find the money to care for everyone in institutions?

There is another way! There is a Bill, the Medicaid Commimity Services and Supports Act, MiCASSA, (S 1298/HR 3612) that allows the Medicaid dollars fol­

low the individual. Help with activities of daily living (like bathing, dressing, eating) and health-related services can be provided at home at 1/3 the cost! Home? Institution? You will choose!

In the last two months, NJ Congressmen Payne and Pallone, and Senator Corzine have signed on as' cosponsors of MiCASSA. But we need more cospon­sors to make MiCASSA a reality.

We, The MiCASSA Coahtion, urge you to join us!! Fax, e-mail or call your Congressional Representatives and Senator Torricelli. Tell them you want MiCASSA!! Keep telling them until they get the message.

For information, call Alliance for Disabled in Action, Inc., (732) 738-4388 or e-mailadacil@adacil.org.

Piscataway

Put the council ‘out to pasture’To The Editor:

Throughout Middlesex County an interesting pattern is emerging. The inbred relationship between county officials and municipal govern­ment and developers is blatant and belies accept­ability.

If you follow the money you will understand that the developers are large contributors to the county Democratic organization. The organization in turn funnels money to the municipalities that have done favors for their friends, many of whom are developers. The developers are then assured the ability to gain approval for high-density, often poorly constructed units. Homeowners in border­ing neighborhoods are often adversely affected.

In Piscataway, where current Freeholder Director Crabiel is father-in-law to Mayor Wahler, the incestuous relationship is glaring. As wetlands

have been made available for high-density hous­ing, which is presently affecting the environment in neighboring homes, the mayor and council are receiving legitimate complaints from homeown- ers/taxpayers at council meetings. The mayor and council turn a deaf ear.

At the same time the mayor and council are enforcing condemnation on a working farm that has served the community for over 75 years. They claim that the land would provide the community with open space. Ride by; see the horses grazing and the corn growing.

When you see the open space, you’ll have to agree, it is now time to put the Piscataway Democratic council out to pasture.

Does democracy work in borough?To The Editor:1 just read the remarks about no Republican

candidate ever attended a meeting concerning the park by James Vokral! Jake Cataldo was there telling you about the underground stream that runs through that area, known to us South Plainfield residents as Boro Park.

PMK is employed by the Boro of South Plainfield. So,I guess they are also the authority on South Plainfield. Do you know how many dump areas are in South Plainfield? Your great senior citizen housing is built over a dump and a former junkyard.

Also, about the street signs marked for veter­ans — I mentioned that three years ago!

So, now you are courting the veterans!You had to be a veteran, and deceased, and

your name on the wall outside of Boro Hall to get a street named after you, plus produce a copy of

the DD-214.So, answer this: why do we have streets with

the names of “Margaret Drive” “Lucy Court” “Frank Court” “English Court”? What wars were they in? Or are they all boro workers? And good Democrats?

We have families in town like the Janus Family, with names like Walter Janus and his nephew Ronald Janus who were in wars without streets named after them.

Democracy really works in South Plainfield as long as you are a Democrat!

End of story!If you need information about South Plainfield,

why not ask a person born and raised in this town like Mr. Jake Cataldo who has given plenty of good suggestions to you Democrats.

ANTHONY PISANIELLO South Plainfield.

Help the elderly in the sum m erTo The Editor:

We all enjoy the summer sun and warmth. Barbecues with family and friends, long days at the beach and picnics in the park are just some of the activities that make summer fun. However, as much enjoyment as the summer sun brings, excessive heat and humidity, which are especially abundant during the dog days of August, can pose serious health risks. It is particularly harmful to our most vulnerable citizens: seniors. We should be mindful of this and take steps to ensure that senior citizens remain healthy and cool.

The most basic precaution is to stay inside during excessively hot days and only go out when necessary. One of the most dangerous elements’of summer is ultraviolet rays. This is radiation emitted from the sun that can cause potentially harmful skin cancer and eye damage. Pay atten­tion to the ultraviolet level reports on the morn­

ing news and in the newspaper. If venturing into the heat is a must, wear sunscreen and clothing to shield yourself from dangerous ultraviolet rays. It is especially important to shield your eyes by wearing a brimmed hat, visor or sun­glasses.

My office has prepared a pamphlet which out­lines these and other safety measures seniors should take to avoid heat-related illness and pre­serve their health. If you are a senior or someone who cares for a senior, please contact my district office at (732) 752-0770 to obtain this important information.

Have a great summer!BOB SMITH

Victims deserve an answer

Summer wanes; melancholy waxes. Change is in the air — twilight arrives unexpectedly and the sky turns a cooler and deeper blue. Kids sense the imminent loss of summer free­dom; those on either side of young adulthood don’t want to. see the season of hedonism disap­pear with the flip of a calendar page. And those who are older fear the coming cold that gets, into the bones and won’t leave.

The melancholy is deeper this year. The approach of Sept. 11 is making many of us relive that awful, incomprehensible day. We will search in futility for the words to share our pain, our out­rage, our sadness, our fears. We will again be bombarded with never-ending images of horror and the glorious tales of unbe­lievable heroism. And inevitably,- when we search for words, we will find only tears.

In the wake of Sept. 11 many said that life would never be the- same. Pundits said Sept. 11 put an end to the extravagant frivoli­ty of the 1990s and returned the ■ county to cold sobriety. Others believed there would be an • increased sense of community and a renewal of long dormant ■ patriotism. And, for a few months after Sept. 11, they were right — America was transformed.

Yet, 11 months later, except for ; the inconvenience of additional ■ security measure, for most of us life has returned to normal. And ' it’s sadly ironic that more of our lives and futures have been more ' affected by the hideous slump in -.. the stock market than the awful ■ events of a day we will never for-- ' get.

In the days and weeks follow­ing Sept. 11, we were told by our' leaders that we would have to gird ourselves for war — perhaps a new tjrpe of war we might not be able to understand. Most were. • willing to make whatever sacri- . fice was necessary to hunt down those who were responsible for , those depraved acts and all the' other agents of terrorism across , the globe. Never in recent mem­ory had this nation been stirred to such unified purpose. We were • willing to pay whatever price to , rid the world of this evil.

That great and overwhelming resolve is flagging now. Since the fall of that wicked regime in- ' Afghanistan, we have been left ■ wondering about the status of our war against terrorism. What ' are our troops doing in a desolate' country on the other side of the • world? 'What is going to be th e '" fate of all those “prisoners” in Cuba? Where is Osama Bin ! Laden? What is going to happen'" next?

The government has not been ' forthcoming with answers; to give that sort of information, they say, would possibly help the enemy in wartime. But, we have to ask, where is the war?

We don’t expect the govern­ment to give us all the details; we understand the necessity of secrecy. Yet we need from the government a sense of what is going on so our resolve is res- ' cued and our confidence in our . country’s leadership is rein­forced.

We do not want to believe the . government is using the pre­tense of Sept. 11 as a smoke­screen to launch an unrelated war against Iraq with hundreds of thousands of troops. We want to be able to trust our govern­ment. We want to know that the President’s vow to hunt down those who were responsible for the horrific acts on Sept. 11 is as genuine and determined today as it was when he spoke to an angry and grieving nation. We need to know our faith and con­fidence have not been misplaced or abused.

The victims of Sept. 11 deserve that justice be delivered swiftly and surely. Their deaths should be avenged. And they also deserve truthful answers.

Media should not perpetuate stereotype of female politiciansBy BARBARA BUONO

Aug. 26 is Women’s Equality Day, a day set aside to commemo­rate the anniversary of the 19th Amendment to our country’s Constitution.

In 1920, when that amend­ment passed, women could not run for political office, largely because they were prohibited from voting. Naturally this event has significance to me as a woman and as a parent of three daughters, but it is also meaning­ful to me as an American. When I recall that just 80 years ago politicians were still pondering the impact an integrated elec­torate of men and women would have ofr their political fortunes, I realize how far this country has come regarding the inclusion of women in political life. At the same time, however, I remain mindful about the progress that is yet to come.

National politics is always a useful barometer of the extent of a political minorit/s inclusion in politics. The past decade has been very encouraging for women with the election of many women in'Congress in their own right. In the past year Nancy Pelosi became the first woman to rise in party leadership to the influen­tial position of House of Representatives minority whip, second in command among

G u e s tc o m m e n ta r y

Democrats in the House.Still, many media outlets have

not evolved much in their cover­age of female politicians. While close scrutiny and even criticism of public officials is part and par­cel of our system of representa­tive democracy, most Americans have a distaste for criticism that becomes increasingly nasty and personal. The most famous woman in Congress, Sen. Hillary Clinton, is a poignant example of this trend. Many media members have eagerly picked up the popu­lar stereot5rpes about women in nontraditional roles and have applied them to Mrs. Clinton. These stereot3q)es are not partic­ularly innovative or for that mat­ter flattering, for they are the same ones used against Eleanor Roosevelt when she was a politi­cally active first lady, but they are hurtful to women who have aspirations for public service.

This mean-spirited sniping only helps to perpetuate negative stereotypes by criticizing women who have gathered up the courage to enter public service and exhibit leadership qualities. We need to ask ourselves how

Bush administration should reinstate the Superfund taxBy BOB SMITH

Last spring the Bush admin­istration indicated th a t it would not support reauthoriza­tion of the Superfund tax, thus hampering the ability of the Environmental Protection Agency to properly and safely clean up toxic waste disposal sites. With 111 designated Superfund sites in New Jersey, the highest in the nation, this is a dangerous policy change for the people of New Jersey and will potentially be extremely costly to New Jersey taxpayers. This will have the double-edged effect of reducing the number of designated Superfund sites and requiring taxpayers to foot more of the bill.

The Superfund tax was established in 1980 for the pur­pose of sharing the cost of cleaning up toxic waste sites that could not be attributed to any one polluter. Polluting industries, specifically oil and chemical companies, collective­ly pay the tax, which then goes toward providing the bulk of the funding for toxic waste cleanup projects. Thus far the Superfund tax has been used to clean up about 30 percent of the 1,551 sites nationwide that have been placed on the EPA’s national priority list.

However, fewer and fewer sites are being cleaned up

G u e s tc o m m e n ta r y

because without the tax on industry, the fund is shrinking. It has gone from a high of $3.8 billion in 1996 to an estimated $28 million next year. While taxpayers paid more than half the costs for cleaning up Superfund sites last year, if this new proposal goes into effect, taxpayers will be paying 100 percent of the costs by 2004.

Limiting the number of sites able to be cleaned will have a significant impact on our region. The good news is that the Chemsol site in Piscataway will continue to be funded and cleaned up. At the same time sites in Edison, Bound Brook and Old Bridge will not be cleaned up any time soon. Tellingly, rabbits found near the old Agent Orange plant in Edison have acquired a green­ish hue attributable to toxins released from tha t facility. These sites have been, sitting idle and contaminating our environment for too long.

Cleaning up chemical waste is a public health necessity and not something that should fall victim to irresponsible

‘Mass of Remembrance’ on Sept. 10METUCHEN — The Diocese of Metuchen has

scheduled a “Mass of Remembrance” for the first anniversary of the attacks that brought down the World Trade Center and damaged the Pentagon.

The Mass will be celebrated by Bishop Paul Bootkoski 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 10 at St. Francis of Assisi Cathedral on Main Street.

Most parishes in the diocese have also sched­uled their own services for the anniversary, according to a press release from the diocesan chancery in Piscataway.

“We draw on our faith to make this anniver­sary a time to remember, a time to deepen our commitment to discipleship and a time to strengthen our participation in efforts to build a more just and peaceful world,” Bootkoski said.

“It is my hope that as many of our priests and faithful as possible will gather ... to pray for all who lost their lives on that fateful morning, for their families and friends who continue to strug­gle with their loss, and for all those who gave selflessly of themselves in the recovery effort,” he said.

Letters to the editor

State was able to aid Highland Parkthis discourages our young women from accepting the chal­lenging task of leading our nation. Few would consider seek­ing political office if they believed it meant inviting abuse, gender- based criticism, and I cannot help but think that the use of such stereotypes about a female politi­cian’s lifestyle, temperament or physique deters quite a few capa­ble women from pursuing elec­tive office. If this is indeed so, it is our country’s loss, just as it was in 1919 when half the population was excluded from democratic participation.

Women’s Equality Day is a day for celebrating the accomplish­ments of the past and looking for­ward to what the future will bring for women in this country. Becoming aware of the damage inflicted by these stereotypes is the key to reducing their effec­tiveness. On this Women’s Equality Day, we can honor the achievements of female activists like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton by fos­tering an appreciation an appre­ciation of their accomplishments and acknowledging their sacri­fices made in the spirit of forging a more perfect union.

The writer is the state senator for the 18th District, which includes South Plainfield, Edison and her hometown Metuchen.

To The Editor:Given New Jersey’s precarious financial situa­

tion, tough decisions had to be made when crafting the state budget earlier this year. We worked dili­gently with the McGreevey administration to reorder spending priorities while still fighting to secure funding to help communities within the 17th Legislative District. As a result, the fiscal year 2003 state budget includes funding that will mitigate any increases in the local tax levy for municipal services in Highland Park.

Through the Extraordinary Aid Fund, Highland Park will receive $500,000 in emergency property tax relief grants that should help close a gap in the municipal budget. The Department of Community Affairs oversees the grant process for this aid, which is processed through the Division of Local Government Services. This aid, recently awarded to

Highland Park, is part of the first round of grants authorized for municipalities that use a calendar year budget.

The national economic slowdown is challenging state, county and municipal governments to demon­strate fiscal restraint while addressing the needs of the constituencies they serve. The allocation for Highland Park is a reflection of this austerity trend. Despite the largest budget deficits in state history, we’re pleased to have helped facilitate the additional aid for Highland Park.

Edison needs governm ent changeTo The Editor:

I support the effort to change our current form of government to one that utilizes a ward/at-large council structure.

It seems to me that our current form was fine when Edison was a small town, but we now have outgrown this form. In fact, the current adminis­tration has gone to great paints to repeatedly point put that as the fifth largest municipality in the

state, with nearly 100,000 residents, we nee^ increased emergency services, a business district transportation improvements, etc.

So, logically, our government should keep pace. They say “Less is More,” so it stands to reason that a ward councilperson can do a better job for a small­er area, where they can truly focus their attention.

DAWN SANTANA Edison

Question needs to be placed on ballotTo The Editor:

I have lived in the Clara Barton section of Edison for 46 years. I often find myself complaining about problems that happen in and affect my neigh­borhood. They may be small, like street sweeping, or large like the development for Pleasant Avenue that was proposed.

Whether they are large or small concerns, I

would be much happier having a ward representa­tive to contact, someone who truly understood the issues which affect me and my neighbors. '

I support the initiative to place changing Edison’s government to a ward form on the November ballot.

HELEN REEP Edison

Washington politics. Any kindergartner will tell you that if you make a mess, you have to clean it up. Shifting the cost burden from the polluting industries responsible for cre­ating the toxic waste to the tax­payers is neither fair nor sound public policy. Not only will the cost to taxpayers increase, but fewer sites will be cleaned up. This poses an unacceptable public health risk for the peo­ple of New Jersey.

My colleagues in the Legislature and I have intro­duced a resolution calling on the Bush administration and congressional leadership to reinstate the Superfund tax. While I hope that the federal government heeds to our con­cerns, I encourage all New Jersey citizens to call or write their congressional representa­tives, senators and the presi­dent, letting them know that the continuation of the Superfund program is impor­tant to everyone in New Jersey. Only by working together can we make New Jersey a better, safer and healthier state.

Skate park is on schedule to open in South PlainHeldBy CHERYL ORSONSTAFF WEITER

SOUTH PLAINFIELD — It’s smooth skating to the opening of the borough’s skate park, report officials.

The grand opening of the new $30,000 skate park behind borough hall in a former roller hockey rink, is planned for Sept. 7 at 10 a.m. Hundreds of residents are expected to be in attendance.

Currently being installed by General Recreation Inc. of Newton Square, Pa., manufac­turers of modular skate park equipment to whom the bor­ough awarded the contract, the new park is expected to have five, 5-foot “quarter pipe” pieces and two, 3-foot “quarter pipe” pieces and two “grinder” bars. The pieces as modular units which are removable, allowing for redesign or other usage of the area.

During a prior presentation General Recreation consultants said surface areas are covered with a “grippy” wear-resistant Tek Trak material allowing for better traction and control. They further said the material has green and purple-colored areas allowing skaters to see where to land when doing aeri­al maneuvers. The equipment which comes with a 10-year guarantee, is made of durable stainless steel and held in place by tamper-resistant hardware.

Rules and regulations gov­erning park, to be used exclu­sively by borough residents for skate boarding and in-line skating, have also previously been adopted. The park, will be open 2 p.m. to dusk on week­days, 10 a.m. to dusk Saturdays and 12 p.m. to dusk Sundays.

Chamber of Commerce will have golf outing on Monday

EDISON — The Edison Chamber of Commerce is swinging into its 50th year by holding its 30th golf classic event.

Celebrating its 50th year, on Aug. 26 the chamber is spon­soring its 30th annual golf clas­sic at the Pox Hollow Golf Club in Somerville from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. The $250 per golfer fee includes a picnic lunch, 18 holes with carts, cocktails, din­ner, gifts and many door prizes.

There are also other options available to join the celebra­tion. There is a dinner package for $80, a slight discount on a foursome at $1,100. Individuals

There will also be special hours set aside for beginners.

Users will he required to wear helmets and other protec­tive gear. An identifying stick­er, indicating the user is a resi­dent and has paid the current year’s annual fees, must be affixed to theij helmets. All users will also “skate at their own risk” with no direct super­vision being provided other than to enforce the rules.

Borough residents can sign up for the park starting Aug. 26 at the PAL Recreation Department building. Children will receive a helmet sticker verifying their residency and that the $35 usage fee has been paid. Parents must a sign a waiver before their children can skate in this “use at your own risk” facility.

Recreation Director Mike English said he happy with the quick completion of this project started only six months ago.

“It’s been a very brief process. It’s an ideal to show kids, with their parents’ help, proved to the borough this is something they really wanted,” said English.

English said alternative sports said as roller blading and skate boarding are grow­ing. He further stated this facility, not costing tax payers anything, being paid for with weight room usage fees, is just “buying another way to have fun.”

The Middlesex County Joint Insurance Fund (JIF), of which the borough is a member, previ­ously agreed to cover this facil­ity. It is estimated this will cost between $8,000 to $10,000 annually and will be paid for by skate park user fees, again at no cost to taxpayers.

tees are $175.Four separate drawings will

be held including three for travel packages donated by Hyatt, Marriott and Wyndham Resorts. F irst hole-in-one prizes include a 2002 BMW, a 2002 Volkswagen and a 2002 Honda. There are also prizes for par. threes.

Sponsorships run from $175 for a sign at the tee to $1,500 for the corporate dinner spon­sor. Each sponsorship is promi­nently displayed and adver­tised.

Community LifeBuilding keeps up w ith enrollm ent grow thSchool districts are coping withimpact ofpopulationexplosion

Though students and teachers had the summer off, school administrators throughout Central Jersey were busy over­seeing construction projects and renovations.

With enrollments rising throughout the state, many school districts are looking to the public to support bond issues to fund either expansions or new faciUties.

Other school districts, such,as Somerville and Branchburg, are still in the midst of ambitious building programs.

Here is a summary of the con­struction projects:

Middlesex CountyEdison Business

Administrator Dan Michaud said the biggest project was at Lincoln and Adams schools where windows are being replaced in all classrooms. Work is scheduled to begin by the end of September and continue until Thaidssgi’dng at which time the work is expected to be completed. Individual classes will be moved to other areas of the school while their rooms are being worked on.

In addition, classroom trailers will greet students at Adams and Jefferson schools. These trailers will be used temporarily until new classrooms, scheduled to be built next year, are finished. Michaud said 10 of the district’s 11 elementary schools will get new classrooms, most for use in a new district-wide all-day kinder­garten program.

Also new classroom wings will be built at Adams and Jefferson schools and J. P. Stevens High School.

Highland ParkSuperintendent MaryLu Simon said her district’s schools are ready for students with no major construction projects being planned. While students were on summer vacation however, main­tenance and improvement pro­jects were done in the schoolsin- cluding tiling, carpeting and painting. The schools and stu­dents should be ready for a fresh, clean start, she said.

Mletuchen Business Administrator Bill Kyle said cur­rently there are no major pro­jects in the borough’s district. He said last year, however, some improvements were made mak­ing student’s lives more safe and secure.

Kyle said $28,000 was spent on security cameras installed in the borough’s four schools. He further said an additional $25,000 was spent installing exterior doors at the district’s high school. With these projects completed, he said students safe­ty has been greatly improved.

In Middlesex, the locker rooms are being renovated at Von E. Mauger School and Middlesex High School. Plans consisted of busdng new lockers and fixing the old lockers.

Piscataway Business Administrator Chuck Milewski said work being (lone in two of the district’s schools will have no effect on the schools’ start date. Work is being completed on the roof of a middle school and also on the high school basement.

Milewski reported repairs to the Quibbletown Middle School roof, which was in serious disre­pair requiring immediate action over the summer prior to the start of school, is “substantially complete” and expected to be fin­ished before the first student enters the building on the first day of school. He further report­ed work on the high school’s basement, which sustained dam­age due to flooding, also requir­ing immediate repair, is “ongo­ing” but won’t interfere with the educational process.

South Plainfield Administrator Ed Izbicki said work being done on two schools in the borough’s district will like­

wise not interfere with the first day of school. Work is being com­pleted on a parking lot at one grammar school and a new wing of another elementary school.

Izbecki said despite a 10,000- gallon oil tank being discovered at Roosevelt School two weeks ago, work on the school’s new parking lot, where the tank was found, is “going as planned” with the lot expected to be completed and open for use by the time teachers appear to start the year.

He further reported work on a new wing at Grant School, also not expected to interfere with the educational process, is “on track” though not expected to be complete until the 2003-2004 school year.

Somerset County.In Bound Brook, school offi­

cials are worried that construc­tion on an elevator in the high school will not be comp](-led lu the Sept. 4 opening.

“That is the most impni'i.iii' project right now becau'C liii- school has to be clean for i lie u- dents when they come. Vc :ii ;■ having a meeting with i he au hi- tect about construction i lii- week,” said Business Administrator E. Charles Tielman. He said the con-i ni< - tion crew will have to coniine their work somehow to kei'o i he school safe for student liiie i In- elevator is finished.

Other than the elevaior pi o- ject in the high school, Tielin.ni reported the removal of .i-be-io- floor tiles in the hallwa> ■- of Smalley School was completed Friday and new tiles were to be installed starting Tuesday. A classroom modular bought this year by the board of education is also delayed. Tielman said a tem­porary unit will be installed by the beginning of the school year.

In Branchburg, the new multi-purpose room at Whiton School will not be ready by Sept. 1 and will only impact lunch. Everything will be ready at both Old York and Stony Brook schools, and what will eventually be the new 6th grade wing at Branchburg Central Middle School will be ready for occupan­cy

Bridgewater-Raritan High School renovations completed for this fall include 26 new class­rooms, the second cafeteria, and the new band room. Exterior ren­ovations are finished with the exception of paving which will be completed the first week of school. The extension to the g3un will be finished in one month.

A second set of modular class­rooms will also be added onto the Bridgewater-Raritan Middle School and completed by the end of September. Students will be housed in the library area and in the back gymnasium area while the modulars are being installed.

In Green Brook, Kindergarten and first-grade students at the Irene E. Feldkirchner School will start the school year in trailers.

The front building of the school has been closed due to mold and trailers have been placed at the school for class­room space. The Board of Education began planning the construction of a new building at lEF. Preliminary blueprints were made of two building designs, one building to house grades K-3 and one to house grades K-4. The lEF school cur­rently houses grades K-3.

The cost to simply rebuild the 65-year-old building and keep the Same grade configuration will be approjdmately $11 mil­lion. The original estimate to replace the building was roughly $8.5 million. If the board decides to move the fourth grade back to lEF, the reconstruction will cost approximately $19 million. The board is looking at a possible March referendum.

Referendum projects include replacing the bleachers and lock­ers in the high school by October and replacing the roof at the Weston School before the school year. Windows and doors were ordered from the manufacturer for district-wide replacement

In North Plainfield, the dis­trict’s $32 million expansion and renovation project is progressing despite some delays. West End and East End are being expand­ed and include new kindergarten classrooms and multipurpose, cafeteria/ community rooms, with stages and music areas.

At the East End School, the acoustical ceiling grid with light fixtures is complete. Painting, metal framing, masonry, electri­cal work, plumbing and the in.'tallation of a new fire alarm

upgrades to the building also are being completed.

The middle school/high school is being expanded. Twelve new classrooms, 4 science labs, a new gymnasium and a renovated cafe­teria will be added to the middle school/ high school. The addition to the Middle/High School is near completion. Painters, masons, and painting and insulation experts me working to complete the building. Sheetrock and floors are being installed in the cafeteria.

The district’s building program was expected to be complete by the start of the new school year, but construction problems and external issues delayed the com­pletion of some construction at the middle/high school until at least November. The Somerset School, which wiU house fifth- and sixth-grade students, may not be completed rmtil December.

A new media center will be constructed at the lEF School and the school’s main offices will be relo­cated to the current media cen­ter. An enclosed walkway con­necting the two lEF buildings will also be constructed. Plans also include upgrading security, fire, intercom and ventilation systems at both schools.

In Manville, classrooms have been added in the Roosevelt School and Manville High School for special education instruction. This project will be completed before school opens on Sept. 4.

Renovation projects completed by the first day of school include

system are underway at the school. Metal frame work at West End School is being completed. Electrical wiring is being upgraded at Stony Brook School and soon the roof will be replaced.

The Somerset School is being completely renovated and includes a large addition to accommodate fifth and sixth grade students. Twenty-two classrooms, four science labs, special education classrooms, and art room, music room, com­puter lab, media center, gymnasi­um and multi-purpose cafeteria/community room will be added to the Somerset School. Construction at Somerset School is near completion. Exterior masonry wall construction and duct installation need to be com­pleted. Plumbing and electrical

addition at the south end of Somerville High School will be completed in time for the new school year, which begins Tuesday, Sept. 3. The addition was the second phase of a $14 million three-stage project, which included a new wing at VaDerveer School and renova­tions at the Middle School.

Also imder way is the long- awaited work for the fieldhouse at Brooks Field behind the high school.

South Bound Brook’s Robert Morris School is only imdergoing

croutine, off-season cleaning of classrooms since an addition ulti­mately putting all of the district’s schoolchildren in one building was completed last year. Some minor repairs and maintenance work is being done as well, said Superintendent Dr. Carol

Rosevear.“The building looks really

great. We’re settled in now and looking forward to the school year,” said Rosevear.

Rosevear added the board of education is looking to develop a five-year plan to gradually put money into the budget to either repair or maintain items when needed. Also on the horizon, the board will continue to discuss what is to be done with the roof on the older part of the new Robert Morris School. Rosevear said the roof is “pretty old” and the question is at what point does the board decide to replace it or come up with other options.

Construction of additions and renovations are underway in Watchung. The borough schools will be expanded and renovated. The project is expected to cost $24 million.

Ten classrooms will be added to Bayberry School and the gym­nasium and media center will be expanded. New rooms for visual and performing arts will be added. The board also plans to expand the school’s cafetorium, or aU-purpose room. At the Valley View School, five classrooms be added and a new gymnasium will be built.

Watchung Hills Regional High School is planning a $41.9 million referendum to expand and renovate the school. The board plans to add 11 general education classrooms, five science labs, two - special education classrooms, two / art classrooms, a computer lab, a food lab, a new 1,000-seat audito­rium, two new gymnasiums and a small group instruction class­room. Plans also include budding an addition that wdl connect the north and south buddings and house the administrative offices and the counselor suites. The board plans to hold a referendum vote in January. Construction could begin by October 2003 and be completed by late August " 2005.

Union CountyIn Cranford, installation of

new boilers at four elementary schools should be completed by the end of September. Several smaller projects, including roof replacements at Bloomingdale Avenue School and carpeting in

•the high school auditorium, will be in place when schools open next month. The other major pro­jects on the district’s agenda, four new classrooms at Walnut Avenue School and new boilers at Cranford High School, will begin this fall and summer 2003, respectively.

In Garwood, groundbreaking for the addition to Lincoln School will happen in December, but a new traffic flow pattern will be in effect when school opens. Later parts of the project include reha­bilitation of Washington School and the demolition of Franklin School.

In Kenilworth, work on the district’s athletic fields is nearing completion. Light poles are in place, as is the foundation for the track and a concrete pad for the new bleachers. Still remaining is the installation of sod, a final layer of asphalt on the track, and the bleachers themselves. Arrangements have been made for the football team to play home games at neighboring fields this season.

In the Scotch Plains- Fanwood district, constructions workers are pressing to finish up, even with a later school start date. By the opening of school Sept. 9, work on six district schools should be complete. Improvements include a multi­purpose room and first-floor reno­vation at School One, second-floor renovation to Park Middle School, multipurpose rooms at Coles and Evergreen schools and second- floor wing improvement and ele­vator construction at the high school.

Multipurpose rooms at McGinn and Brunner Schools will be finished in October.

In Westfield, work on a 55,000-square-fopt, three-story addition to the high school will continue throughout the school year, as it is scheduled for comple­tion in April 2003. This fall, stu­dents will be able to utilize a new storage structure next to the gym, two two-story structures in the coiudyard that include a student lounge, art room and staff confer­ence rooms. There will also be a renovated economics room ready for use.

Your child can learn math outside of school

Can your preschooler count to 20, 30 or even a hundred? Perhaps you’re thinking that he or she will be a math whiz because of tnis early show of ability. However, oftentimes the mastery of counting is not an indicator that math is understood — rather it could be that your child just memo­rized a sequence of words. Although children can’t learn math unless they know how to count, counting is only one aspect of math.

There are several other ways to help children become familiar with numbers that can lead to better math skills. Here are some everyday oppor­tunities, courtesy of the National Association for the Education of Young Children.

All about me — Children get a sense of pride in knowing their own address and phone number. Early on, children can identify their own age, and they want to know their height. Putting a child on a

scale represents an opportuni­ty to compare pounds and ounces, and heavy versus light. Children may learn what size clothes they wear, and be able to judge what will fit and what won’t (that’s an early exercise in “spatial relations”).

Cooking — Adults pour, measure, divide, estimate time and read labels every time they prepare a meal. Why not include even very young' chil­dren in on the action? Before he or she can pour pancake batter or read recipes, a child can stir with a wooden spoon in a bowl. Show the child how you follow a recipe step by step, and how you set the oven temperature. Remember to warn children about what’s too hot to touch or eat.

Managing money — Children can touch, count, save, sort and spend money (with supervision, of course). What better way to teach chil­dren about the value of money than- by taking them shopping

Gill St. Bernard's is an independent, nonsectarian, coeducational, college preparatory day school enrolling students in Grades PreSchooi through 12.

In just a few years, distance learning has come a long way

No pun intended, but dis­tance education has certainly come a long way over the span of just a few years. An attrac­tive alternative for busy adults balancing hectic work and fami­ly schedules, online programs allow students to take courses when and where they can. Courses, certificates and even full degree programs are now available online, and as more and more students enroll, the number of traditional “brick- and-mortar” institutions offer­ing online programs also contin­ues to rise. According to recent statistics from the United States Department of Education, more than 90 per­cent of colleges and universities provide or plan to provide some kind of program through dis­tance learning.

•Traditional universities often make no separation between their programs and the type of degree awarded. For example, a student at the State University of New York could complete the majority of his or her course- work online and receive the exact same degree as a student who did most of his or her stud­ies in the classroom. In addi­tion, credits awarded through online study are often readily transferrable to traditional pro­grams.

As for the educators, a sur­vey of National Education Association members found that most are enthusiastic when it comes online learning. Some professors have commented that they have noticed higher quali­ty work from online students than traditional classroom stu­dents, however many education experts also express concern about the time it takes to pre­pare and teach an online course.

In 2000, The American Federation of Teachers adopted a resolution on distance educa­tion for college credit which argues that no more than half of a full undergraduate degree should be offered at a distance. They believe that classroom- based coursework must be part of the overall “undergraduate experience.”

There is also concern over intellectual property rights — who owns the rights to license, market and potentially profit from online course material?

Despite initial concerns and widespread skepticism, accep­tance of online degree programs is on the rise among employers

You can earn a degree at home via the Internet, but don’t get caught in a diploma mill.

as well. Many companies are hiring applicants with online degrees and offering tuition reimbursement for employees who wish to take courses for professional development. However, according to a study byVault.com, 77 percent of hir­ing managers say than an online degree from an estab­lished university like Harvard or Texas A&M is more accept­able than a degree through an Internet-only university. Many view this assessment as unfair, as many Web-only institutions, like the University of Phoenix have the same regional accredi­tation as traditional schools and uphold rigorous academic stan­dards.

Overall, online education is a great option for students returning to school. As technolo­gy continues to advance, and

demand continues to grow, dis­tance learning will further ' develop its potential. The most important thing to remember: before enrolling in any program is to carefully research your options. Just because an online university appears on “legiti­mate” sites like Google or Yahoo! doesn’t mean that the school itself is on the up and up.

Playtime is very important to a child^s education

(MS) — If you think school and play don’t mix, think again.

Certainly, the start of school is a sure sign that summertime activities — baseball games, the beach, and the pool — are coming to a close. However, a child’s general play activities should not stop simply because it is time to hit the books. In fact, your child should continue to play year-round, since valu­able play experiences can help prepare him or her for school, making friends and learning.? Just how beneficial is play in terms of preparing a child for school? “Endless possibili­ties open through a child’s imagination and play,” explains Peter Reynolds, president of BRIO Corporation, a toy com­pany recognized by early-child- hood specialists for its commit­ment to play value, quality and fun.: Consider these tips on play from “Understanding Children 0-3,” a new guidebook for the 21st century created by Civitas, a national nonprofit Communication group that transforms child development research into educational tools for parents and caregivers:

Spontaneous play may offer more benefits than doing structured activities like com­puter games or phonics work­books. One mom learned this through a conversation with her son’s teacher. Like many parents, Elizabeth was con­cerned about sending her son Sam to kindergarten because he was not keeping up with writing the alphabet like most of the other children from pre­

school. She asked Sam’s teacher if she should get Sam workbooks so he would not be behind in class. To her sur­prise, she was told that Sam would most likely develop the skills needed for kindergarten by playing with his favorite toys. The teacher explained that when Sam pulls his trains around a track, he practices the hand-eye coordination needed to move a pencil across paper. Or, if he sorts his engines by color, he under­stands that objects can be clas­sified — a basic math concept. This conversation relieved Elizabeth’s concerns, and as a result Elizabeth began to encourage Sam’s play and is able to recognize his learning through play first hand.

Through play your child learns to form meaningful relationships with other peo­ple. “There is no better way for a child to learn how to commu­nicate, get along with others and make friends than by playing with other children,” says Ashley Dineen Rolls, Program Director at Civitas and contributor to “Understanding Children 0-3.”

Whenever children interact, whether they are testing each other, arguing about rules, deciding on roles, or taking turns, they are practicing the rules of social behavior. Repeated involvement in social play teaches kids to consider the feelings of others, how to share and how to be a friend.

Participating in fun and interesting activities also help a child’s cognitive develop­ment, or ability to reason, per-

How to stay organized(ARA) — Parents can help

their children stay focused and successful by encouraging good organizational habits. The more organized your child’s schedule is, the more likely it is that you’ll be able to keep your own sched­ule. Renee King, time-manage­ment and organizing expert with AT-A-GLANCE, the leading manufacturer of calendars and organizing supplies, offers these tips to parents to help their chil­dren get organized.

Dip your toe in the planning water — Encourage children to use a school planner to keep assignments in order. Parents should review the planner with the child often, and talk about upcoming assignments and exams. In order to make things less stressful, have your child list upcoming activities in the plan­ner as well, such as a football game or birthday party.

Begin each morning the night before — Pack book bags, lay out clothes, prepare lunches and review assignments due the next day so that children and parents have httle to worry about as they leave in the morning.

Set aside “homework time”— Set aside time each night for homework so that it becomes routine. Be considerate of your child’s homework time by not watching television; in fact, “homework time” can be used by

parents as well, to pay bills, write correspondence, etc. Designate a work area for the child, such as a desk in the child’s room, or a dining room or - kitchen table, where the child can spread the work out with lit­tle distraction.

Allow “down time” each night — Just as adults need time to unwind from a hectic day, so too do children. Set aside time after homework for children to relax. Encourage productive relaxation such as reading a book for fun. , It’s also a good time for the entire family to catch up on the da/s activities.

The family that plans togeth­er — Designate a “check in” sta­tion in a common area in the house for everyone, such as the kitchen. Lay out a daily planner • or calendar and mark significant events coming up, such as doc­tor’s appointments for parents and children. Encourage children to stop by the “check-in” station _ each morning and evening to update themselves on what might be going on that week. Also, encourage children to write in their own significant events (with parents’ approval), such as practices, school plays, and birth­day parties. This encourages responsibility and organization, and children see that their responsibilities are as significant as those of their parents.

rant, she experiments with language and numbers in a fun and entertaining way.

“By simply watching your child at play, you can see him or her develop the abilities to reason, imagine, socialize and understand,” says Rolls. “These skills are invaluable to the development process.”

Therefore, the lesson for parents is this: since meaning­ful play enhances learning both in and out of the class­room, let your children play.

Vision is key fo r learningAmong all the crayons, paper, scissors and glue you pur­

chase for your child’s first day of classes, his or her most important school supply is a healthy pair of eyes.

Studies indicate vision is the key element (almost 80 percent) of the learning process during a child’s first 12 years. To ensure a lifetime of healthy eyes and vision and success in school, the American Optometric Association (AOA) encourages comprehensive eye exams to be per­formed at age six months and three years, prior to entering school, and every two years after that.

An examination assesses whether the eyes see clearly. But it also measures the eyes’ ability to work together, focus properly, and move together in activities like reading across a page of text or following a ball.

When children have undetected vision problems, school can become a struggle. Signs that your child may be experi­encing vision difficulties in the classroom include: trouble finishing written assignments, frequently losing his or her place or skipping words when reading, having a short attention span when doing close work, making errors when copying from a classroom board, and having greater poten­tial than grades may indicate (underperforming).

With the start of another school year approaching, stu­dents and their parents are busy preparing for success in the classroom. A new year means new and exciting chal­lenges for students of all ages. But for many students, the challenge of learning new skills and lessons simply causes anxi­ety. The news for millions of parents is that the hidden source of this anxiety could be an undetected learning disabili­ty

A learning disability can affect a child’s ability to read, write or speak clearly; impair math and problem-solving skills; and can impede social skills. Unfortunately, because a learning disability is not a dis­ease, it cannot be “cured” and will likely last into adulthood. The good news is that early testing and evaluation can pro­vide ways to better manage and control a learning disabilities.

Auditory Discrimination is a key component of efficient language use, and is necessary to “break the code” for reading.It involves being able to per­ceive the differences between speech sounds, and to sequence these sounds into meaningful words.

Visual Perception is criti­cal to the reading and writing processes as it addresses the ability to notice important details and assign meaning to what is seen. An eye doctor may be able to diagnose difficulties.

Thomas Alva Edison: He was unable to read until he was twelve years old and his writ­ing skills were poor throughout his life.

George Washington: He was unable to spell throughout his life and his grammar usage was very poor. His brother suggest­ed that perhaps surveying in the backwoods might be an appropriate career for young George.

Tom Cruise: Is unable to read due to severe dyslexia. He is able to memorize lines and perform on the stage and screen.

Others notables include: Galileo, Mozart, Wright Brothers, Leonardo da Vinci,------------------- Cher, Bruce

If you suspect your child has a learning disabil­ity, you should speak to his or her teachers and school coun­selors, talk with other learning experts, and consider a for­mal evaluation. It’s important to remember that a thorough eval­uation of your child’s skills must be done by a professional.Local school

systems often provide a test for free. Private or hospital clinic can also perform a test. If you suspect that your child has a learning problem, the sooner you act, the easier it will be for your child( And that can relieve everyone’s anxiety about the coming year.

Book gives tips on campus lifeNEW BRUNSWICK-

Prospective college students and their parents conduct months of research to find just the right college. Once they’re on campus, however, most stu­dents don’t follow through with research on what courses and which teachers will best further their academic career.: “Ultimately, the college experience you have is up to you,” write Ernie Lepore, a philosophy professor at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and Sarah-Jane Leslie, a Rutgers honors stu­dent, who together have writ­ten a guide to campus life. “What Every College Student Should Know: How to Find the Best Teachers and Learn the Most from Them”(140 pp.; paper, $12.95, 0-8135-3066-0), was published in March by Rutgers University Press.

“You can settle for poor teachers, poor guidance, and poor recommendations - but you don’t have to. All you need to get the most out of your col­lege education is a proactive attitude and a little guidance; if you’ve got the attitude, we’ll provide the advice,” the authors write.' The professor-student writ­ing team offers perspectives from both sides of the class­room podium. Readers learn:

A program to revive arts education(MS) — Arts education has come a long way

since the days of Louis Prang, the first champion of this area of study in America, and developer of the first textbook and curriculum designed for teaching art. While a sohd education that prepares children for the future begins with math and science, arts education carries a range of benefits to children, from vocabulary enhancement and math skills to the development of spatial-reasoning and even logic. And, in an increasingly high-tech world where information and ideas are often delivered visually, arts education seems more important than ever.

With this in mind, one might expect most schools to have vibrant education programs in music, dance or the visual arts. The reality, howev­er, is that arts education in America is very much in danger. With a major shift in national education policy towards assessment testing in math and sci­ence, arts education is often left by the wayside, inadequately funded or chopped from the curricu­lum altogether.

But parents and educators in communities across the country are not willing to let programs go quietly. Says the National Parent Teacher Association: “Learning about the visual arts gives students a window onto the rich and interesting world aroimd them, teaching them about their own history and culture, as well as those of other peo­ple.”

This summer. Prang, makers of school and pro­fessional art supplies and the Dixon Ticonderoga Company, kicked off a new program to benefit art education in America. The program, “Prang Power” ■ lets schools redeem proof of purchase UPC codes form Dixon and Prang product packaging for firee art and school supplies.

Here’s how it works: All Prang, Dixon and Ticonderoga art and school products earn Prang Power Points values of approximately one point per dollar, based on the manufacturer’s suggested retail price. Students bring in UPC symbols fi’om the product packaging to their school, which sub­mits them to the company for “deposit” into the school’s Prang Power Account. The points are redeemable for free art and school supphes.

Designed to run throughout the school year, the program is open to all public and private schools for Kindergarten through Grade 8 throughout the United States, Puerto Rico and schools on US. mil­itary installations worldwide.

“We take a personal interest in education and in preserving art in our schools and for our youth,” says Gino N. Pala, chairman and co-CEO of the Dixon Ticonderoga Company. ;

Encourage your child to color’ (MS) — For years, educators dnd psychologists have com­monly agreed that children who show an interest in color­ing build personal skills that they will find useful well past the days in the classroom.From recognizing colors and shapes to opening the window to individual expression, color- ihg helps children gain inde­pendence and a positive a tti­tude.

Mary Daudelin, manager of Colorific children’s coloring products, says coloring gives children an outlet for express­ing the world around them, instills a sense of who they are and generally starts their thirst ^or learning.; “Coloring is fun for kids when supported by genuine interest from parents and teachers along with quality art niaterials that bring works of art to life,” Daudelin says., A new series of products from Colorific have been devel­oped to stretch creativity.From four-in-one colored crayons to fruit scented colored pencils to gel markers that write on dark-colored paper, these tools are made for today’s kids. Teachers and par­ents are finding that the prod­ucts are effective in stimulat­ing creativity, and like the fact that the markers, crayons and pencils are nontoxic and most are washable.

Help your teenager prepare for challenges of high school

Coloring can be an important tooi in the development of your child.

While the company offers a series of inventive tools for kids to flex their creative mus­cle, just as important is the active participation by parents in fostering imagination at home. By working on projects together, parents instill confi­dence that can be then used in school.

To fuel creativity and fun, Colorific offers these helpful tips:

Let individual expression shine through. Each child has a unique view on the world. Encourage them to express their attitudes through coloring and to share it with their peers, teachers and you, the parent.

Let’s be safe. Provide safe materials that are AP-

approved and nontoxic. Crayons, pencils, markers and watercolors that are safe will carry the AP symbol on their packaging.

Let them get messy.Creativity knows no sense of clean. There are a number of washable and erasable coloring products available today.

Let’s talk about it. Ask children about what they cre­ated in school or at home.What does it mean to them? This helps develop cognitive abilities to describe emotions, perception and imagination.

Let them figure it out.Kiids will put their own touch on projects. Show them how to use coloring tools, but then step aside and see what unfolds.

Make Time. Above all, when your child proudly shows you his or her work of art set aside time to discuss it. Appreciation for accomplishments, no matter how small, will allow your child to grow confident in their tal­ents.

NEW BRUNSWICK - Most 14- year-olds begin high school with a flood of conflicting feelings. They are happy and proud to have come this far through school but ner­vous about handling the many adjustments that high school will demand.

Often, their parents are at a loss to help them. Contemporary high school students face difficult decisions about a range of academ­ic and social issues, and many find it difficult to relate to their par­ents’ memories of their own high school years.

Because high school presents potential for conflict, communica­tion between parents and children sometimes breaks down. Caroline Clauss-Ehlers, assistant professor of counseling psychology at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and a practicing psy­chotherapist, points out some things parents and students can anticipate:

Academic demands: Even good students find that they have to study harder and be better organized. Parents can help by providing quiet space to study away from the distractions of e- mail, television or music. If initial academic performance is unsatis­factory, Clauss-Ehlers advises par­ents to intervene inunediately by talking to the child first and then reaching out to the school or get­ting psychological help if needed. Parents should not, however, do their children’s school assignments for them. “That sets the cMd up to really have dififlculties as an adult,” Clauss-Ehlers cautions. “They don’t know how to deal with not Mways having someone cover­ing for thenl, and when the failure happens - and it inevitably does - they don’t know how to handle it.”

Your child could discover his true talent and passion on the ultimate fnsbee team or the school newspa­per, but too many activities can distract him from his studies. Parents can provide help in priori­tizing and choosing among offer­ings.

Gangs and bullying: Talk to your child about constructive con­flict resolution and how to walk away from a fight. Research shows that most violent incidents occur right afl«r school, so supervised activities during those hours might prevent problems. Bullying isn’t always physical, Clauss- Ehlers adds. ‘Tt might be verbal. For example, rumor-mongering is particularly problematic for girls.”

Alcohol and drugs: High school is often the time when teens begin experimenting with alcohol, drugs and tobacco. To help your child make the right deci­sions, keep the lines of communi­cation as open as your child will allow. Get to know his Mends and their parents, and encomage social relationships with others who don’t drink or use drugs. Check whether adults will be home when your child visits a Mend and be home when your child has guests. Make sure your teen-ager under­stands that cigarettes are addic­tive and that there is a document­ed progression of drug use from cigarettes to marijuana to cocaine. Watch your child’s money and know where he’s spending it.

Sex: Again, your teen will be making his own decisions, so it is important to talk to him about your own values and the impor­tance of healthy and responsible sexual behavior.

FosAiow.-Many school dress codes aren’t strict enough to stop students from coming to school scantily clad, so parents may want to impose their own dress rules. These guidelines are not necessar­ily unwelcome, says Clauss-Ehlers,

who behoves that, counter to pre­vailing opinion, most high-school-' ers want more structure and direc­tion from adults. j

Eating habits. Eating disor­ders such as anorexia, bvdimia or 7 obesity often surface in the teen- ’ age years. Parents who suspect imusual, unhealthy or secretive eating behavior shoidd consult a physician or psychologist, Clauss- EHers says.

After school: Often high school students are on their own after school. If you work, your child should have a set routine, such as doing homework before you get home in the evening and then hav­ing it checked. ‘You can communi­cate a message that school work is important,” Clauss-Ehlers says. ■- “The child knows you care, that ■ 7 you’re involved.”

Independence: This is a time •' when teen-agers are striving to act as independent adults. As a resulty teens whose parents are over­involved or smothering sometimes will not seek help with a problem.*' “If there are visible signs of dis-. 3 tress, like a child not wanting to go to school or his social life changing in some way, talk to the child and > find out what’s goir^ on,” Clauss- . Ehlers advises. “Ask for permission to talk to a teacher or the school; principal. That way, you’re work­ing with the child as a team.”

Teens’ need for guidance is at the bottom of aU these issues, Clauss-Ehlers says. “Adults tend to view adolescents as wanting a lot > of freedoms and wanting to do their own thing, but, in fact, ado­lescents need a lot of support, they need stabflity, they need feedback and they need structure.” The need for direction, however, should be balanced with the child’s need to learn to handle himself in the world. “It’s good for parents and . children to learn when the child needs help and when he’s OK on / his own.”

Sm ith read y fo r b e tte r y e a rHighland Park grad emerging as a leader for the Scarlet KnightsByDAVEALLENA

COURTESY OF RUTGERS UNIVERSITY LJ Smith enters the season ranked as the top tight end in the Big East and a top NFL prospect.

STAFF COREESPONDENT

PISCATAWAY — Like every other Scarlet, Knight L. J. Smith just hopes for a better season individually and as a team.

Smith, a former Highland Park High standout, will look to get his senior year started on the right foot next Saturday when the Rutgers University football teams faces Villanova.

Mostly likely headed for a professional career, the tight end has his sights set on an improved campaign after last fall’s somewhat disappointing season for both himself and the Knights. Rutgers won just two of 11 starts, while Smith caught 30 passes.

“I think I had an average season last year, but I didn’t live up to my own expectations,” Smith said. “I think a lot of diU ferent things that happened — all the injuries we had, the new players, the new offense — went into that. I don’t think it worked out for anyone like they wanted.

“This year I want to help the team to do better. I have no set number but I want to catch more passes than the 30 I

caught last year. A lot of the major magazines have me listed as the pre-season All-Big East tight end, and I want to finish the season as All-Big East.

“They have a lot more plays in the offense for me this year, but I think we’re going to be able to do a lot more this year because we have a year of play­ing together. I think everyone is going to be more comfortable.

“Last year didn’t work out for us, so you learn from it and move on. What I learned is that adversity is going to make you better. We learned to lean on one another during the tough times because everyone was going through the same things.”

And the new Rutgers staff last year learned a lot about Smith, who drew praise from both Head Coach Greg Schiano and Mario Cristobal, who coaches the tight ends.

“L.J. has the speed and abili­ty of a wide receiver, and he’s a 252-pound tight end,” Schiano said. “L.J.’s a legitimate big- time tight end. Everyone knows he can run and catch, but he’s also a great blocker — one of the best I’ve been around. He brings so much to our team.”

“L.J. is one of our team lead­

ers,” Cristobal said. “He’s out­standing in every sense of the word — his athletic ability, his team leadership, his work ethic. He does everything he can to make himself as good as he can be as well as bring a lot of guys with him.

“He is truly the most special guy I’ve been around in this position. L.J. combines the speed of a wide receiver with the strength of a very athletic offensive tackle. He is a rare breed that comes around once in a long while.

“He has taken on a leader­ship role on this team and he has become a guy tha t his teammates look to for a big play. L.J. is the guy that they rally around. They know when things get tough he is the guy to step up and get it done.”

With all the talk about his future in the pros. Smith can’t help but think about it. This season, however, will be for him and not to impress the scouts, and he believes he’s ready for it.

“Based on my situation, some people say I need to have a big year to go high in the draft and some people say I don’t,” he said. “Personally, I

feel like I need to have a big season just for me. I want to make things happen once I catch the ball.

“I’ve worked harder in the preseason. I think everyone worked hard in the weight room, but I caught at least 50- 100 balls a day to make sure I was ready. I also watched a lot of film to see what I could do better as far as running routes and blocking. As far as my blocking goes I just need to stay on my blocks and finish.

“I thought I did well with (quarterback) Ryan Cubit throwing to me last year. People might have thought we weren’t always on the same page, but I don’t think that’s the case. I think it’s going to be a lot easier this year because everyone knows the offense now.”

Smith should provide a large target for Cubit or whoever throws the ball to him. He’s added about 15 pounds from a year ago and at 6-4, 252 pounds Smith certainly has the size to play professionally.

“I feel fine,” he said. “I bigger and stronger but I’m still as fast as I’ve been. I’m looking forward to this season.”

After playoff berth the Bulldogs are raising the barByDAVEALLENASTAFF CORRESPONDENT

METUCHEN — Sparked by last season’s success, a veteran Bulldog squad looked to carry a solid summer of workouts* into their preseason camp, which got started Tuesday.

With an experienced cast returning from a team that fin­ished 5-5 and earned a Central

Jersey Group I playoff berth, the Metuchen High football squad had more than 45 players show up for the first day of double ses­sions, which will run through early next week.

Bob Ulmer begins his second year as head coach looking to surpass last year’s performance, but admitting he has a couple of concerns.

“The biggest challenge we

have is to go beyond what we did last year,” he said. “Last year we were satisfied with a .500 record and making it to the playoffs, and that’s not going to be satisfying this year. Hopefully we’ll look at doing things a little better this year. We need to cut down on our mistakes. .

“We have some adjustments to make this year. We didn’t lose a lot of kids but we did lose some

good onds. John Evans was our leading tackier at outside line­backer and we need someone to step up there. Charles Bowles caught a lot of passes at tight end, and we have to find someone to do that.

“Those are my major concerns. Another concern is putting together a ball control offense. We made a lot of silly mistakes last year, and we need to cut

down on them. We need to cut down on penalties and turnovers.”

During the summer the Bulldogs worked out three to four nights a week and had a great response as they averaged almost 30 players a night for weight lift­ing and workouts. Ulmer imple­mented parts of the offense and defense, while the team also par­ticipated in seven-on-seven pass­

ing drills with other squads.For Ulmer this preseason

should go more smoothly than a year ago after taking over for Ned Ennis.

“I think it will be easier for me,” he said. “These kids now understand what I expect from them. Last year was pretty chal­lenging, but I had some idea after

Eagles preparing to soar under new coach GioffreByDAVEALLENAS T A F F C O R R E S P O N D E N T

“ EDISON — Vin Gioffre has, in a very real sense, come full circle, and in part, would like nothing better than to get back to where he first became a true Eagle.

Named as the Edison High head football coach to replace Tom Gargiulo, Gioffre got his ini­tial preseason off Aug. 14th. An assistant football coach at Edison for seven years and an assistant in wrestling for eight, the 36- year-old Woodbridge High and Notre Dame University graduate is where he wants to be.

“I believe I’m a guy who bleeds scarlet and gold,” he said. “I know that sounds like a cliche but it’s true. I was the water boy when

Edison won its (sectional) cham­pionship in 1976. Even though I’ve been here for eight years it’s like a homecoming for me.

“It’s surreal, actually, because I never thought in a million years I’d be a head coach. I love coach­ing and I was happy being an assistant. When Tom decided to resign I looked around and I decided I didn’t want to turn over what Tom and I had built the last seven years to someone else.”

With a coaching resume that includes one year at Upsala College and four years at J.F. Kennedy in Paterson, Gioffre becomes the third head coach that came out of the same high school graduating class in 1984.

“An interesting sidelight to all of this is that Ron Hilliard of

Bishop Ahr and Bill Nyers and myself all played together and graduated at the same year from Woodbridge,” Gioffre said. “Not only are we all head coaches but we’re head coaches in the same county.”

Gioffre and his staff have their work cut out after having lost most the team to graduation from a club that finished 4-6 a year ago. Vinnie Abene is the new offensive coordinator, while Mike Deevey has come on board as the line coach.

The defense will remain the same 4-4 set Edison has played the past four years, the last three with Gioffre as the defensive coordinator, but this year the Eagles will switch from a multi­ple-! attack to a wing-T.

“My mother was a Capraro,” he said. “My uncle ran it in Edison when they won the cham­pionship, another uncle used it at Upsala and another ran it at Woodbridge, so I’ve grown up around the wing-T. In the back of my mind I’ve always wanted to run it.

“I think it’s the best offense to run in high school. You can run multiple sets with it and you can run multiple plays off each set. Just look at Sa5Teville and what happened when they went to the wing-T. It helped turn that pro­gram completely around. I think Sayreville is a perfect example of what can happen.

“Right now we’re most con­cerned about the offense, and special teams is second. I’m not

sa5ung our defense is very strong, but this is the fifth year we’re running the 4-4, so the kids, from seniors on down, should know it.”

If nothing else the Eagles started training camp with a dedicated group of players. Although 45-50 players are a low number for a Group IV school, most of them took part in sum­mer workouts.

“In school I have a reputation of being stern, strict and a disci­plinarian,” Gioffre said. “I guess you can say I’m known as some­one concerned with having well- conditioned and sound athletes, and I think some kids decided not to come out because of that.

“We had a tremendous turnout this summer. We started June 24 and 50 of the 57 kids

Rochester defeats NJ Pride in finale

BRIDGEWATER — Having already secured a playoff spot, not much was on the line for the New Jersey Pride in its final two games — good thing too.

The Pride dropped the final two games of the regidar season, but will meet the Long Island Lizards Saturday night in Long Island in the first round of the Major League Lacrosse playoffs.

In Sunday’s home finale, the final home game for Milltown native and former Rutgers All- American defenseman Reid Jackson, the Pride dropped a 17-15

. decision to the Rochester Rattlers.’ - Attackman Jesse Hubbard ‘t recorded his league-leading 12th “ hat trick to go along with an assist

! * to finish the season with a league ♦ f^high 54 goals in 14 games. Scott

;! Urick also had three goals and Jon - * Hess scored twice and assisted on a '■ pair.

The Rattlers stormed in front in the first quarter, scoring six iman- swered goals to seize a 8-2 lead. Jay

Jalbert made a diving stivd near midfield and found Dan Marlin who scored with 47 second' li-lt in the half to cut the deficit lo 10-7.

Dave Cimy ripped home a iwo- pointer with four minutes left in the fourth quarter to cut ilic dcMcil to one. But the Rattler:? qmcldy pulled away and held on for the win.

Baltimore 18, Pride 16 — ThePride opened up a quick 7-3 lead on the National Division champion Baltimore Bayhawks in front of 3,259 fans at Commerce Bank Ballpark in Bridgewater Aug. 15, but faltered over the final three periods to fall 18-16.

Baltimore outscored the Pride 7- 1 in the second period to take a 11- 8 lead at the break, then matched every New Jersey surge with one of their own to hold on.

Jesse Hubbard scored five goals, four in the third period. Jay Jalbert had three goals and Jon Hess added two goals and five assists for the Pride.

Jackson’s long career coming to a closeByDAVEALLENAS T A F F C O R R E S P O N D E N T

It’s all winding — at least on the

BRIDGEWATER — down for Reid Jackson playing field.

After a long and distinguished career, which encompassed the high school, colle­giate, international, amateur and profes­sional levels, the St. Joseph’s and Rutgers University graduate has decided to retire from lacrosse.

With only the playoffs remainihg for his Major League Lacrosse New Jersey Pride squad Jackson’s playing days are coming to end. In a way he’s already started lamenting the absence of the sport he first started playing as a freshman at St. Joe’s.

“Fm going to miss lacrosse a lot. It’s already started to get a little emotional for me,” he said Saturday, a day before the Pride lost its final regular-season game to the Rochester Rattlers.

“I’ve already told my teammates not to expect me to come to any more than one game next year because I know it’s going to be tough sitting in the stands watching. I think it’s difficult for any athlete who has played for a long time to become a specta­tor.”

Jackson, however, also befieves it’s the right decision even though he retains the ability to compete at the highest level.

“There’s not much more I can do with my sport. I’ve taken it as far as I can,” he said. ‘I t ’s been a tremendous experience for me. It’s gotten me far ahead in the world.

“Could I play for another year or two? Definitely, but it’s a lot of working trying to keep up with 23- and 24-year-olds. I want to walk away on my own terms. I don’t want any more injuries, and I don’t want to walk away fi’om the bench. I want to walk away as a starter. It’s just the right time for me.

“Between traveling for lacrosse and traveling for my job I’m pretty busy. I just want to take the time to concentrate on my career. I want to spend more time with my family and friends, and I want to see some of the world.”

After playing some midfield and attack his first two years at St. Joe’s, Jackson moved to defense his junior year and has not looked back. At Rutgers he was a three-time All-America, and helped the Scarlet Knights qualify for the NCAA Tournament his senior year.

“My experience at St. Joseph’s was all-

aroimd very positive,” he said. “It was very competitive athletically and academically, and there I made my best friends for fife. Overall it was positive at Rutgers but it did have its up and downs. I had my shoul­der reconstructed three times while I was there.

“People who score goals and people who stop goals usually get the press, but not defenders. That really doesn’t bother me because it’s not my personahty. I don’t do it for the glory. I do it for tbe team. The sat­isfaction comes when I stop you from doing what you want to do. When I take the ball away and give it to a teanunate is very sat­isfying.”

Jackson went on to play for a Long Island club team after Rutgers in a nation­al amateur league, and in 1998 played for the national squad that captured the world championship by defeating Csmada. The past two years he has played with the Pride in the first-ever pro circuit.

The 30-year-old, who lives in Franklin Park and is director of northeast opera­tions for Secme Logix, recalls the feeling of playing for the national squad as well as the competition he’s faced in recent years.

“It was a great experience playing for the national team,” he said. “There’s noth­

ing like wearing a USA jersey. When you step on the field representing all that the United States has to offer it’s a great honor.

“All the great players played in the club league, and a lot of them are how coaching. The pro league is the epitome of the sport though. There are no slouches in this league. Every player is very good. My first reaction when I heard they were thinking about forming the pro league was that it was a great idea and I just hoped I’d still be around to play.

“The competition is tight and the level of play is so high you don’t get a chance to rest. When in the club league you might play three or four tough teams during the season, in this league every game is a brawl. Any team can beat another on any day.”

And Jackson is grateful not only for the opportunity but also for the chance to play so close to home.

“Fve been lucky enough to be a part pf the whole thing. It’s been a blast,” he said. “It’s been great to play in my own back­yard so my family and friends could come and watch. Fm glad we’ve been able to spread the game to New Jersey and show the level of the play that we have.”

Hawks getting to work in defense of championshipByDAVEALLENAS T A F F C O R R E S P O N D E N T

EDISON — Approaching last season’s performance should be an opposing challenge for the Hawks, but not an impossible one.

The task to see how close the J. R Stevens High football squad can come to equaling last fall’s 12-0 championship campaign began to unfold last Friday with the first day of double sessions.

Frank Zarro, who begins his 10th season as head coach, greeted a total of more than 50 seniors, juniors and sophomores who will look to follow last year’s outstand­ing effort with one of its own. While Zarro won’t make predictions, he won’t discount any possibility.

“It’s a little too early to talk about wins and loses,” he said. “Right now what we’re trying to accomplish is addressing our con­cerns. Our biggest challenge we have is filling some positions. We need to build an offensive fine.

“After the season we had last year it’s going to take a bigger com­mitment to keep yourself at the same level as the previous year by both the kids and the staff We have a lot of areas of concern, but we also have enough talent to do things

well. Hopefully we’ll he OK by opening day.”

The Hawks spent five nights week this summer — alternating sessions between weight lifting and running — to get ready for the sea­son. Stevens held its own camp, which 75 youngsters attended.

“We concentrated on strength and conditioning,” Zarro said. “We had an excellent turnout, about 45 kids a night. The turnout was a Ht- tle better than we’ve had in the past, hut that’s what happens when you go 12-0.

“We held a camp that last week in July. It was for kids 10-17 years old, so we had a lot of our kids there. It gave us a good opportunity to work on a lot of fundamentals, so it was definitely beneficial to us. Overall we were pleased with the summer we had.”

The Hawks return a number of players in the skill positions, but with only one starter — Kevin Petrusky — back on the offensive line and with the graduation of Middlesex County Player of the Year Mike Maffiicci there are defi­nitely some holes to fill.

On the other side of the ball, the defense, although overshadowed last fall by the squad’s explosive attack, should be the stronger unit

with seven starters back. Zarro, however, stiU Ukes the offensive potential.

‘We have seven starters back on defense, so I have a lot of confer­ence there,” he said. “The question mark is how well our offensive line is going to gel, so we’ll be scram­bling early. Hopefully the defense win keep us in games until we get it together.

“All of our guys got playing time last year, but they haven’t played as a imit. There’s always a concern with so many new guys. We have some nice sized kids, but none of them other than Petrusky has had any varsity experience. It’s a big jump from junior varsity to varsity.

“When you lose the player of the year in the county that’s a big hole to fiU. Vinnie Lombardi backed up Mike Maffucci the past two years, and we feel he’s going to do a nice job for us. Mike also did aU our kicking, so that will be a concern too.

‘We were able to score last year, and I believe we will be able to score again this year. With the skiU kids that we have hack I like the potential we have on offense. We’U use the preseason to see what Vinnie’s strong points are and then go from there.”

NICOLE DIMELLA/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER JP Stevens Head Coach Frank Zurro instructs one of his players during practice Tuesday.

that had taken physical were there are least three of the four days we practiced. We only had three guys with us now who weren’t there.”

“We should be in good shape. I’d have to say we have about average size for a high school team. Speed-wise we’d like to be a little faster. I do believe, though, that if we can coach the first couple of steps off the line of scrimmage to be a little quicker we can make up for our lack of speed.”

Edison will kick off its presea­son 10 a.m. this morning when it hosts Red Bank. After visiting Pinelands next Friday, thqy will square off against Bishop Ahr in a game scrimmage 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 5.

Strong turnout for OwlsByDAVEALLENAS T A F F C O R R E S P O N D E N T

HIGHLAND PARK Determined to erase last year’s bad memory, the Owls opened preseason training camp Monday with the first of 10 days of double sessions after a solid summer.

Coming off a 3-7 campaign, the Highland Park football squad returns a solid group of players. Almost 30 showed up for the first day of practice, and the Owls would like to see that num­ber grow to 40 by the time the season kicks off against Granville Charter Friday, Sept. 13.

“We’re expecting a much improved season, but we should also play a much improved schedule,” said Head Coach Joe Policastro. “For a Group I school we play a difficult schedule. I wish we had the ability to play all Group I schools.

“We have 19 or so kids coming back, so we have the bulk of last year’s team returning. We’re going to have an experienced team, but we’re still going to be young. We played some freshmen and sophomores last year, so I expect them to be improved.”

Considering the size of the school and the number of players that took part in the opening day of doubles, the Owls did well to have 25-30 players participate in their summer program.

“The turnout has been very good,” Policastro said. “We prac­ticed four nights a week, and the kids worked very hard this sum­mer.”

Highland Park will have three scrimmages, beginning with a good test at Carteret 10 a.m. Tuesday before visiting South Plainfield for a 10 a.m. clash next Friday. The Owls game scrimmage will be at home against Roselle Park 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 5.

Chiefs putting pieces for a championship run togetherByDAVEALLENASTAFF CORRESPONDENT

■ PISCATAWAY — With a vet­eran cast to work with, the

'Chiefs opened their preseason Monday looking for a banner campaign.

Many of the pieces appear in place for the Piscataway High football team’s defense, so most of the focus during the four weeks that lead up to the sea­son-opener against East

\ Brunswick will be on the offen­sive line, where graduation took three starters.

Joe Kuron3u, however, begins his 12th season as head coach and promises no one has a posi­tion locked up as the Chiefs look to better last fall’s 7-4 finish, which included a loss in the Central Jersey Group IV play­offs.

“There’s going to be a lot of competition for jobs in camp this year,” he said last week. “That’s going to make us a better foot- ball team. That’s going to make our special teams better, and that’s should be a strength for us this year.

“Building depth is something you push the whole summer. You don’t want guys thinking they have a position and then become complacent. You want them to push one another. I think the competition we’ll have for jobs is going to be one of our strengths this year.

“The biggest challenge will be developing an offensive line. We have two starters back, so that means we have three spots to fill. I believe we have the kids to do that, so it will be a matter of getting them to gel.

“The best thing we have going for us is the defense, where we have nine of 11 starters back. We just have to fill in a couple of

. spots in the secondary. With everyone we have back«we should be very good on defense. The kicking game should also be very good.”

Kuronyi knows Piscataway will need that kind of in-team competition to survive what fig­ures to be another slugfest in the GMC Red Division this sea­son. A year ago five of the eight CJ rV playoff berths went to Red Division squads and a repeat of that would not be unexpected.

The Chiefs, who could have as many as 28 seniors in uniform

, this year, would like nothing bet­ter than to take the two addi­tional steps needed to claim a sectional title, which would be their first since 1981.

“It’s going to be a war,” he said. “This team has the charac­teristics of the ’94 and ’95 teams that reached the final. It’s the goal of every team to win the championship. We want to make it to the championship game, but four other teams in our division want to do the same thing.

“All four of those teams have almost their entire defense back. There was a great bunch of juniors in Middlesex County last year. It just means we’ll proba­bly take turns knocking each other off again this year. It’s going to come down to better depth and which team is fortu­nate enough not to have any injuries.”

Piscataway began to prepare for the upcoming season with summer workouts that included lifting weights three days a .week and two nights when quar­terbacks and receivers worked on their skills.

“We had a very good turnout this summer. The kids worked real hard,” Kuronyi said. “We have a good group of seniors, and they’re looking forward to bettering last year’s record.

“I’m looking forward to the new season. It really doesn’t get old because each year you have different kids and each team has its own characteristics. They each have their own strengths, and like anything else they have their own problems. There’s

While some teams have three and even four scrimmages, Metuchen will have only two prior to its opener against

said. “Being a Group I school I don’t think I need to get my kinds banged up with a bunch of scrim­mages, and I can pretty much evaluate my kids off those two and our practices.”

always something to work on.” Piscataway will open its

scrimmage schedule when it vis­its Toms River North 11 a.m. Tuesday, and will then host Long Branch 6:30 p.m. next

Saturday. The Chiefs will travel to Carteret for a 4 p.m. test Tuesday, Sept. 3 before enter­taining Hillsborough two days later in a 6:30 p.m. game scrim­mage.

‘Railroad Days’ are coming back to DunellenDUNELLEN — On Sept. 7 and

8 the Dunellen Merchants and Professional Association and the New York Susquehanna and Western Technical and Historical Society will be operating steam trains as the centerpiece of DuneUen’s second aimual “Railroad Days.”

Railroad Days is a weekend cel­ebration of Dunellen. The celebra­tion is a family oriented event designed to highlight DuneUen’s economic and social potential by capitalizing on the town’s her­itage.

The centerpiece of Railroad Days is a round trip train ride, over NJ Transit’s Raritan VaUey Line, fi’om DrmeUen to North Branch on board a vintage Susquehanna Railroad passenger train.

Last year’s Railroad Days were canceled because they were just

three days after the tragedy of Sept. 11.

Unfortunately, this year the trains may have to be the classic diesel locomotives, the e-9’s. Steam Locomotive 142 was undergoing its 15-year rebuild this spring and it needed new flues for the boUer. Unfortunately these can no longer be purchased in the United States. The only suppliers are in Germany or China. They wiU be flown in after production at a cost of over $10,000 via UPS. HopefuUy the parts wiU arrive in time to bring 142 to DuneUen. If not, the e-9 passenger locomotives built in the early 1950’s wiU power the train.

Although the DuneUen Merchants and Professional Association (DMPA) is the overaU sponsor of Railroad Days, the event is co-produced by the DMPA, the New York,

Susquehanna and Western Tedmical and Historical Society (NYSWTHS) and NJ Transit.

The DMPA is comprised of local merchants, professionals and residents who have a common interest both in stimulating eco­nomic growth and the improve­ment of the quaUty of Ufe in DmieUen.

The NYSWTHS is an organiza­tion dedicated to preserving the history of the New York, Susquehanna and Western RaUroad (NYS&W) and the preservation of the vintage NYS&W rolling stock. The NYSWTHS runs periodic raU excursions, such as Railroad Days, to generate funds to support their preservation endeavors. The NYSWTHS is a member of the United Railroad Historical Society (URHS) andan active supporter of the proposed New Jersey

Transportation Heritage Center.On Satmday, the

DuneUen/Green Brook Rotary wQl host its long running annual “Art on the Green.” Both amateur and professional art is on display and for sale.

On Sunday, the DMPA wUl host a street fair Mong North Avenue (NJ Route 28), complete with games, rides and food vendors. RaUroadianna vendors and other entertainment wiU be set up both days in the DrmeUen station park­ing lot. The objective is to provide a wide range of famUy oriented entertainment for the entire week­end.

On both Saturday and Sunday the DMPA wUl also be hosting a carnival complete with rides and games for the whole famUy.

The trips leave from the New Jersey Transit station in the cen­ter of DuneUen. Trip times are

9:30 a.m., noon, 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. There wiU be three classes of trav­el on the train: Coach, Deluxe and First Class Dome. The couch class seats are located in the Long Island cars from the 1950’s. These cars seat 100 people and have three across seating. The deluxe cars are from the Southern Railroad and have reclining seats and only 55 people per car. The First Class cars are glass enclosed dome cars from the Rio Grand Railroad.

Tickets can be purchased via telephone by caUing toU free 877- trainride or on the Internet at our web site 877-trainride.com.

Ticket prices are as follow: Coach Child $6, Coach Adult $12, Deluxe ChUd $10, Deluxe Adult $16. Visa, Master Card, Discover and American Express are accept­ed as weU as check or money order.

Condo sales breaking records REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS

BY JAMES M. WOODARDCOPLEY NEWS SERVICE

Condominiums — it’s a big word and it’s rack­in g up big sales. Last year was the sixth consec- l-utive year condo sales broke a record. And sales ‘“volume continues to grow this year.

Nationally, there were about 738,000 condos ..sold last year, according to a report from the National Association of Realtors. That’s up 3.8

'percent from the record set in 2000.“Favorable affordability conditions for both

first-time buyers and retirees have driven -demand that has been nothing short of remark­able,” said NAR President Martin Edwards Jr.

., “The elimination of the capital gains tax penalty for most homeowners means existing owners have been free to make housing choices

. based on their needs and desires rather than an artificial tax consequence,” he said. “Lifestyle choices are playing a larger role now in the ‘condo market as some homeowners trade down to easier-to-maintain but high-quality condos.”

The fastest growing segment of condo buyers 4s retirees, or soon-to-becorae retirees. They like 'the simplicity, security and friendly community lifestyle condos offer. Freedom from yard and maintenance chores is a big incentive, as are affordable prices.

“With the favorable affordability conditions expected to continue in an improving economy, we’re looking for very strong condo sales again this year, although the sales volume may be

-.down a bit from last year’s record,” said David Lereah, NAR chief economist.

The national median price for condos last jrear was $122,600 — up 9.7 percent from the■ previous year. Prices vary substantially from region to region. In the South, the median condo ■price was $99,600. In the West it was $146,000. Both numbers reflect strong increases from the

•previous year.• Builders and developers are taking note of

increased demand for condos. Applications for building permits and mortgage construction loans are on the rise.

Increasingly, condo developments planned in downtown areas. What appeals to many condo buyers in high- _ rise developments are views, ameni­ties, convenient location, and the way

"condos feed the ego, according to a report in Urban Land magazine.

“Living way above the crowd gives one a sense of success. The views can be stunning. The quiet in the midst of

■ a crowded city is very appealing. And large buildings can offer amenities

Some weeks ago, this column focused on the growing home inspection industry. Some of the responses to that column came as a surprise. Here’s an example — a portion of a letter received from Lindell Anderson in Fort Worth, Texas:

“Last year I bought a new home. I paid $176,000 for a garden home, and paid $225 for a home inspection service. In my opinion, I would have been much wiser had I hired a professional engineer to inspect my home. The price would have been more, but the results would have been worth it.

“After the first inspection, I had my home inspected by a mechanical engineer with a mas­ter’s degree in engineering because I had spotted so many defects that had not been noted by the inspection service.

“My main point here is that someone needs to monitor the home inspection industry, and the linkage tha t seems to exist between home builders. Realtors, and the home inspection busi­ness. For my money. I’ll use a professionally trained engineer in the future. I would have been many dollars ahead had I used a trained engineer to inspect my home.”

Here’s another letter with an interesting twist from Dorothy Pollock in Pennsylvania:

“I can see the value of a home inspection, but I have a question. My husband and I are both 80 years old. So far, we are on our own and doing very well. But I have a concern. If and when we must sell our house and make other living arrangements, would our house be in good shape for selling? What can we do in the meantime to keep our house in good condition, ready for that time when it must be sold?

“We’ve been living in this house for 47 years and we think it’s in good shape. But we may be missing something. What can we do to assure our house will continue to be in good shape?” .

Let’s call on our home inspector and engineer friends to offer suggestions for this homeowner. We’ll use the best suggestions in this column.

Automotive/ClassifiedGlitz takes back seat to functionality in Honda PilotB Y M A R K M A Y N A R DCOPLEY NEWS SERVICE

Eight years ago, Americarr Honda did not sell one truck in the United States.

Last year, it sold more than 266,000, all in the form of the Odyssey minivan and CR-V sport utility vehicle. Add the Acura MDX — from Honda’s luxury division — and the total goes to 307,000 light trucks.

That’s a lot of dollar signs piling up in $20,000, $30,000 and $40,000 increments. And Honda will be able to count on an addi­tional 80,000 sales next year from its just-released Pilot SUV.

Pilot is a good lesson in eco­nomics. Built on the same pro­duction line in Ontario as the Odyssey and MDX, all three trucks share some chassis and beneath-the-skin components.

Pilot is even a closer kin to the MDX, sharing the chassis, 240- horsepower V-6 engine, five-speed automatic transmission and on- •demand 4-wheel-drive system.; The Pilot plan is simple: Build a -vehicle with a limited list of fac­tory options. There is no optional ;five-speed manual transmission, -two-wheel drive or a sunroof — all of which were low priorities for this buyer group, Honda says.! After all, Pilot is not an image vehicle, but good working-class meat-and-potatoes family fare. No glitzy, non-functional gim­micks here, just the Honda-effi­cient basics to haul carloads of kids and their friends, dogs, boo­gie boards and bikes. And just stylish enough.

Pilot has the work ethic of the Odyssey without the emotional baggage of driving a minivan. And it has many of the useful fea­tures of a minivan, including eight seats and a kid-friendly environment.

It’s a roomy five-passenger util­ity, but Honda squeezed in a third-row bench with three more seat belts for those school car- pool mornings or when the whole family wants to go to the airport

Honda has made quite an impact in the American light truck market.

to pick up Grandma and Grandpa.

All of the seats have three-point belts and headrests — and there are several inches of crush space between the tailgate and the rear seat back.

When you don’t need the extra seats, which really are best for lit­tle people, the bench folds into the floor and the headrests stow in a cargo area in the floor com­partment.

Pilot project leader Frank Paluch — married with three young children — was challenged to create a sport utility that was­n’t just more of the same but with a Honda badge.

Pilot had to be a good reason to bring back those Honda owners who had left the fold for some­thing bigger than the CR-V. He steered clear of the road taken by the Big 4 utility makers — DaimlerChrysler, Ford, GM and

Toyota — and instead focused on Honda strengths: quality con­struction, family versatility and environmental compatibility.

And, it had to be fun to drive. Paluch focused on the details.The prime audience, he says,

will be active, outdoorsy families with college-educated parents about 40 years old with three kids and a household income of around $85,000.

Environmentally, 90 percent of Pilot is recyclable. The 3.5-liter V- 6 engine is rated for ultra low emissions, runs on regular unleaded and is EPA-certified for 17 miles per gallon around town and 22 on the highway.

Safety features include dual­stage front air bags, side air bags, four-wheel disc breikes with ABS, 5-mph bumpers, three-point belts and headrests at all seats.

With so many capable four- wheel-drive choices, Honda went

a little overboard in creating a truck that will do anything the competition can do and just a lit­tle more.

With 8 inches of ground clear­ance — at the lowest point — it is capable of going where the major­ity of Honda drivers would fear to tread.

Pilot runs in front-wheel drive until wheel sensors detect slip­page and route drive power to the rear wheels, from zero to 50 per­cent.

An electronic locking differen­tial gives added traction in deep sand or snow and the owner can be confident in crossing flooded streets or streams up to 19 inches deep.After in-house crash testing, Honda expects top crash ratings from National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

On a recent press preview of Pilot, it seemed to work so weU that it was nearly invisible. But that may also be due to the con­servative styling.

Despite the strong truck cues in the front fenders and hood. Pilot’s design is clean but not com­pelling. Risk-averse Honda (and Acura) could have a little more faith in its artists who sketch dynamic-looking yet practical concept cars — designs that get dumbed-down for mainstream acceptance.

But as a package of styling and convenience features, Pilot has no glaring annoyances and fits most sizes of growing Americans.

Driving it is tyipical Honda — smooth and accommodating. The cabin is well-soundproofed with full, supportive front seats — maybe even better than MDX.

Shift points from the automatic — without a Sport mode — are well-timed and steady, without back and forth shifting on long interstate grades. Body roll is minimal, and braking, thanks to electronic brake force distribu­tion, is relatively flat without grabbing. But it is inside the hard shell of Pilot that makes it the favorite tool in the garage.

Paluch obviously has cleaned up many a french fry and juice box, so he built in nine cup-holders and a nifty activity tray in the back of the center second row seat. Fold it down as an armrest and there’s a hard tray surface for coloring or a box of chicken nuggets, with a special indent for the cup of barbecue dipping sauce.

The back seats are raised so each row gets a good view, which also helps reduce motion sick­ness.

The overhead grab handles with integrated reading light are an industry first and a pending patent for Honda.

Both second and third rows have 60/40 split folding seat backs and will expand a cargo area that is four feet wide and about six feet long. The second

row seat backs fold nearly flat for about 71 inches of length, so those eight-foot sheets of ply­wood can just stick out under the tailgate.

Gray plastic skid strips on the front and rear bumpers resist road rash and the scrapes from loading gear or stepping up to the roof rack.

When it comes to interior space. Pilot is shoulders apart from the competition — literally. It is notably wide in shoulder room and tall in headroom.

And there are more large fea­tures inside — door handles, sun visors with extenders, door stor­age pockets, gauges and instrii^ ment panel switches and buG tons. i?'

The wide-open multifunction center console is a handy catchall to drop a few compact disc cases, plug in a cell phone and stow a cup of coffee. The center armrest is also broad and well-padded with more storage below.

Window switches are lighted with automatic up and down for the driver; and three 12-volt power plugs are spread through­out for phones, personal digital assistants, coolers or compres­sors.

The gauge cluster is styled as a chronograph watch with tasteful touches of metallic trim on the console. The radio is high in the instrument panel, keeping eyes close to the roadscape. Vents are plentiful and airflow is good, even with the windows down. )

The only problem I noticed in a day of driving was a dashboard vent that had no friction resis­tance to hold it in place, but swung around freely And, per­haps, the strip of blackout shad­ing behind the rearview minur could be deeper to close the blinding gap of sun that inevitably sneaks in.

The Pilot is remarkable for its nicely machined Honda-ness. There’s little emotion in the exte­rior design, but there’s much to love about this politically correct SUV.
