Alter discussing the town's con-tract for animal control services, Sec-ond Wind Courieilwoman, Mrs. Mar-garet C. Sur, lias recommended IheTown Council take action on u con-tract with Associated Humane Soci-eties of Newark.

With Mrs. Sur's recommendation,the council delayed taking any actionat its November 9 meeting until Ihecouucikvoinan could check the performnnce record of the firm.

Associated was the low bidder, witha proposal of $ 17.CXK1 versus $21,6(XIthat was bid by the town's currentcontractor, Garden Slate Kennels ofStirling.

Mis. Sur indicated she had discus-sions with Mountainside Mayor Rob-ert F. Vigliani; Robert M. Sherr, theHealth Officer for Westfield,Fanwood and Mountainside, andCranforcJ's Health Officer Warren J.Hehl. All three said Associated had abetter response time (ban GardenState.

"I think it is very important lhateveryone in Ihe Police Departmentknows the phone number of our ani-mal control service anil knows how

to get there," she said, adding thatresidents are often worried when theycall about their pets and other injuredanimals.

Mayor Garland C. "Bud' Boothe,Jr. said he would recommend havinga map made up with the firm's loca(ion which could be given to residents. c.

Town Attorney, Charles H. lira nd I.noted the two linns are the only oneswhich service the Westfield area. Healso recommended that the councilupprovethe resolution at its next regu-lar meeting on Tuesday, November22.

In other business. Town Adminis-trator Edward A. Gottko said West-field MainStrcet has asked the townto once again approve of the freeparkingholiday program inlhe down-town area. The program, which in-volves the placing of plastic bagsover the meters, would run from Sat-urday, December 3, through Christmas Five on Saturday, December 24.

Mr. Gollko said this year's proposal would be one week shorter thanlast year's program. The program in1993 ran fromThanksgiving throughChristmas and was deemed a big sue -cess for town stores.

One of Ihe problems Ihe town ex-perienced was that commuters andworkers in town were parking in thespaces. Mayor Boothe said he wantsto go after the violators this year.

VACANCY TO BE FILLED ON NOVEMBER 22

Robert H. Flast ResignsFrom School Board Tuesday,

Had Served for 10 MonthsBoard Receives Audit Reports of 1993-1994 School YearUnder New Generally Accepted Accounting Procedures

By KI.I.KN KADINS/muillv n;mrn/nr V« Wr.MfirhlLnulrr

The 1993-1994 annual audit of theWeslfield school district, which was saidto show the district to be in good financialhealth, was accepted by the Board ot*[iduciition al its regular meeting on No-vember 15. The board also announcedI hat member Robert H. Flast had resignedfor "personal reasons;" the vacancy willbe Illlcd al a special board meeting onNovember 22.

Mr. Flast, along wilh Peter G. Gould,was appointed to the board cm January 18to replace Dr. Benjamin Rulf and MichaelVV. Fox who had resigned. Mr. Flasi waselected to a full ihrce-ycartcrm in April.

In his 10 months on the Board of Edu-cation, Mr. Flast was a member of thePrograms and Policies, Long-Range Plan-ning and Administrators NegotiationCommittees, an alternate to (he Budgetand Finance Committee, liaison to theI'arcnt-TeacherCouncil Legislative Com-mittee, the high school Student CouncilLiaison Committee and the WashingtonSchool Parent-Teacher Association. Hewas also an active member of the Tech-nology Committee.

Mr. Flast is Chief Information Oftlcerfor Russell Reynolds Associates in NewYork City. A resident of Westfield fornine years, he and his wife, Mrs. LaurenI'last. have ihrcc children.

A summary or synopsis ol the auditwas released al the meeting. The sum-mary shows the district has total assets ofS5,923,7l7.nolincludingthevalucofilslixcd assets. According to Dr. Robert C.Radcr, Assistant Superintendent for Busi-ness and Board Secretary, ihe board willhave these lixed assets, such as equip-ment, evaluated. The value of board-owned real estate also needs to he addedu>tola! assets.

The synopsis also showed undesignalcdor unallocated funds, known as "free bal-ance" or "fund balance" in the amount ol$2,206,950. Speaking to The WestfieldLender on November 16, Dr. Rader saidthat approximately $700,000of (his fundwas derived from canceled purchase or-ders, wilh additional funds coming fromunanticipated revenues. The free balancecannot be spent by the administrationwithout board action. Dr. Rader said.

Dr. Radcr also said the rules requiringall school districts to use Generally Ac-cepted Accounting Procedures facilitatesvalid comparisons between districts. Forexample, previously some districts hadlistcddcpurimcnt chairmen under ad min-

istration, some under instruction. Thisaffccled the districts' calculation of perpupil spending.

The audit, more properly called theComprehcnsi ve Annual Financial Repon,was the first under new state rules requir-ing the generally accepted new account-ing principles. Under (hem, double lineentries showing accounts payable andreceivable, and projected income andencumbrances, must be used. Paymentsto the district arc shown once such pay-ments are assured, as with state aid.

The board had previously used single-line entries which, for example, showedpayments to the district only when pay-ment was actually received.

Assets and other debits, as well as

liabilities, equity and other credits, arebroken down by fund types include gov-ernmental fund lypes — into general,special revenue and debt service — pro-prietary fund types, and fiduciary fundtypes. Account groups are also shown.

Hoard Vice President Mrs. SusanJacobs™ said lhal was "one of (he mottcomprehensive" ever done for the districtand lhat Ihe board was "very pleased."

Board member William J. Sweeneycautioned that the report should be viewedas a "snapshot" of the district al "onepoint in lime" and nol he misused illplanning future budgets.

The audit was prepared by the ac-counting firm of Hodulik & Morrison of

ShopRite Hearings Are Now ExpectedTo Spill Over Into the New Year

Mayor Boothe and Mrs. Shields to Continue With the Case

By SUZETTE STALKERS/ieunlh Wnmnfin Thr WfMfirlJUtulrt

The Westfield Planning Board isanticipating that its public hearing ofthe ShopRite application, which wasexpected to wrap by Christmas, willnow spill over into the New Year inorder to gi ve expert w i tnesses and thepublic sufficient opportunity lopresent iheir views in the controver-sial case.

The re-election of Mayor GarlandC. "Bud" Boothe, Jr., a member ofthe Planning Board, on November 8and the reappoinlment of follow boardmember Mrs. Marilyn Shieldsallowsthe board to continue Ihe case into1995 wilh all the same members.

Village Supermarkets is seeking tobuild the superstore on the currentNorth Avenue site of the WestfieldLumber and Home Center. Althoughthe property is zoned for commercialuse, town residents are opposed tothe bid, fearing it will jeopardize realeslatc values, public safety and gen-eral quality of life.

David Zimmerman, a licensed pro-fessional planner based inMorristown. testified on behalf ofattorney Brian W. Fahey, counsel forDr. and Mrs. Ulf Dolling of FourthAvenue, that he believed the pro-posed 58.000-square-foot store wouldbe "inappropriate" for the site and theneighborhood as well as the WestfieldLand Use Ordinance.

Mr. Zimmerman, who has partici-pated in Planning and Zoning appli-cation cases in six New Jersey mu-nicipalities, stated the lype of storeplanned for North Avenue would con-flict wilh Ihe goals and objectivesoutlined in Westtield's Master Plan.

One of the« goals, he explained,was "to promote a desirable visualenvironment and preserve the home-town atmosphere in the business dis-trict."

The planner claimed this aspectwould be compromised by havingthe loading and unloading bay andIhe driveway of the proposed store inview of residential dwellings acrossthe street from the subject property,recommending that a 20-foot-highfence would have to be installed inorder to provide adequate screening.

Dean Gaver, counsel for VillageSupermarkets, argued laterduring thehearing that the proposed ShopRite

Assembly ApprovesPermit Extension Law

The Stale Assembly has ap-proved the Permit Extension Actwhich gives builders two moreyears on construction projects. TheState Senate had previously ap-proved (he measure.

In Westfield the extension is ex-pected to increase public interestin the sale of the 18 remaining lotswithin the Lexington Heights De-velopment located in the EwanTract off of Prospect Street.

One lot on Prospect was sold inSeptember at a land sale, but eightothers received no bids due to fearol'stifferenvironmcntal constraintsthat were to have gone through althe end of this year.

The Governor, Mrs. ChristineTodd Whitman, is expected lo signthe extension into law.

would not exceed existing commer-cial development standards inWestfield, noting that the Elm StreetFoodtown is located across from apark and that the height of the Lord &Taylor building on North Avenue isgreater than that for Ihe proposedShopRite.

Mr. Zimmerman maintained thattraffic mitigation proposed by Vil-lage Supermarkets for the signal atthe corner of North and Central Av-enues would be advantageous to iheapplicant by extending green time toNorth Avenue traffic but would di-minish the level of service to CentralAvenue commuters.

He urged the board only accept a"traffic circulation scheme" thatwould at least provide the level ofservice to the side streets which existtoday.

The planner, who displayed photo-graphs of the site from the propertylines of single-family homes and atownhouse complex along NorthAvenue, also recommended theapplicant's request for adesign waivernot be granted since, without screen-ing, illumination from the westerlyside of the building and a proposedfree-standing sign would be distract-ing to neighbors.

Attorneys for the oppositionhaggled with Mr. Gaver during thefinal hour of the heari ng over whetherMr. Zimmerman was qualified loof-fer an opi nion as to whether or nol theboard should approve the applicationbased on regulations established un-der municipal ordinances.

Mr. Gaver objected, claiming thatMr. Zimmerman could only submit

A GLOBAL VIEW. The World Garni came to Park Middle School in ScotchPlains on November 3. The eighth-graden participated in a simulation work-shop where the students played out the roiei of world region! and Internationalorganizations. The world garnet were played on a gynuutlum-rized map of theworld. Students were divided into regional leaim that represented worldhumanity. They were given the task of meeting food, energy and educationalneeds for "their people." Other student! represented important Internationalorganizations. Still others played the role of the international press corps.Together they examined Issues of population growth, food production, literacy,environmental problems, health concerns, human righto, cultural issues andeconomic factors that shape the world today.

Park and Terrill StudentsTake Charge of the World

Eighth-grade students at Park andTerrill Middle Schools in ScotchPlains took charge of the world andliterally planted their stockinged feeton (he "Big Map." They engaged in"The World Game," a creative alter-native to war games conceived byarchitect and philanthropist R.Buckminster Fuller.

As "leaders of the planet," the stu-dents assumed all of the world's prop-erty — its money, natural resourcesand food supplies — and all of theworld's problems, such as diseaseand power struggles.

It was the students' responsibilityto channel these assets and deficien-cies in proper and cooperative waysso as "to make the world work for 100per cent of humanity."

Each partnership of students repre-sented a country or region of theworld or an international organiza-tion. Food, energy, money and tech-nology were distributed to each groupaccording to real world statistics.Class players interacted and engagedin trading, creative problem-solvingand strategy planning to meet basichuman needs and to find solutions toregional and global challenges.

Students learned that international

Pro-Life Advocates SeekRemoval of Buffer Zone

Pro-life groups urged the state Su-preme Court in a hearing last week tolift a restriction banning protesterswithin 300 feet of the home of aWestfield doctor who performs abor-tions. The court had put forward therestriction in aruling earlier this year.

Chief Justice Robert N. Wilentzdid not give a time on a when adecision could be forthcoming.

The request by the pro-life advo-cates comes as a result of the recentUnited States Supreme Court deci-sion to turn the case back to the state'shigh court. The nation's highest courtsaid the state court should review itsearlier ruling in relation to whether itimposes on the First Amendmentrights of the protesters.

An attorney for Dr. and Mrs. ElrickMurray told the court the restraintswere appropriate.

The attorney for the pro-life dem-onstrators said the 300-foot restric-tion should be removed since there isno evidence of that any laws have

been broken by the protesters. Hesaid the picketers did not block thecouple's driveway nor did they tres-pass.

He said the activities were "peace-ful" and "reasonable."

The attorney said, when pressed byJudge Wilentz, that he felt allowingI(X) people to inarch would be rea-sonable. He said, however, he did notthink any buffer zone would be rea-sonable. The Mandels' attorney wasquoted as saying the restrictionsshould be left in place because thepicketing had made the couple, "pris-oners in their own house."

Sixty protesters began picketingoutside Dr. Murray's home in 1991just days alter a bomb treat was re-ceived at a Howell Clinic and follow-ing the torching of a Woodbridgeclinic.

The couple went to court and ob-tained an injunction against the pro-testers. The state Supreme Court up-held the lower court's ruling in April.

Fl ew women expect to need a Cesareansection, but if you do need one, it's

good to know that it was necessary.

Safety Comes FirstC-section rates at Muhlenberg have

been among the lowest in NewJersey for more than a decade. Highlytrained and experienced physicianswork with skilled and dedicatednurses to ensure that labor and de-livery are as comfortable and safe aspossible.

In addition to the low C-sectionrate, Muhlenberg also has a low in-fant mortality rate. Staff pedia-tricians, trained in newbornresuscitation, are avai lable at themedical center 24 hours a daywith a priority to respond to anynewborn emergency. If neces-sary, there is a Special CareNursery on the premises for pre-mature infants and babies withspecial needs.

Vital StatisticsWell below the state average of 20 to 22 percent, statis-

tics for Cesarean births as a percentage of all births atMuhlenberg are as follows:

Even among high risk patients, the C-sectionrate is also below the state average.

The Latest Trend

" / wanted a hospital with a lowC-section rate. I wanted theassurance that if there werecomplications, the hospital

could handle them....I found that at Muhlenberg."

The new trend is for preg-nant women who have previ-ously had Cesareans to delivervaginally. At Muhlenberg, thesuccess rate for Vaginal BirthsAfter Cesarean (VBACsi is 82percent. Women who are con-sidering a VBAC must meetcertain criteria to insure a safeand healthy delivery.

"Our goal is to treat childbirth as naturally as possible, without com-promising the health of the mother or baby," says Frank Laudonio. M.D.,chief of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Muhlenberg. "Our satisfied patientsshow that we are meeting that goal."

Because of their background and training, Muhlenberg physicians areconfident, willing to cooperate and trust the judgment of their colleaguesand nursing staff. "Experienced nurses are more aware of when there mightbe a problem or when, given n little more time, n patient will deliver on herown," says Barbara Avery, R.N., nurse manager.

Whether you need a C-section or not, childbirth should be fulfilling, healthyand enjoyable for the whole family. That's just what we offer at Muhlenberg,and you can sec for yourself.

Voucher System Should Be PursuedOver Objections of Teachers Union

A plan proposed by the Governor, Mrs. ChristineTodd Whitman, and supported by former Westfieldresident and current Jersey City Mayor Brett Schundler,for a pilot school voucher system in that city is a goodidea that should be supported. Instead, it has been metby a lobbying effort on behalf of the New JerseyEducation Association to squelch the plan before it getsoff the ground.

The voucher plan makes a lot of sense because it givespoorer parents a choice of where to send their childrento school. Why should tax-paying citizens be forced,due to a lack of sufficient income, to send their childrento their community's public school system? This ques-tion is even more a concern in our cities where thepercentage of students graduating and scores on stan-dardized tests are embarrassing.

New Jersey's teachers' union happens to be the} secondlargest and most powerful group in the nation. OnlyCalifornia has a larger union. Yet, from what we haveread in the union's own magazine, NJEA Review, youwould think that parochial and other private schoolsystems were teaching about the overturning of IheUnited States government, rather than simply trying toprovide a sufficient education for all.

The Jersey City proposal, which was made by StateEducation Commissioner Leo Klagholz, is a five-yeartest program whereby parents of first and ninlh graderswould receive a voucher which could be redeemed atthe non-public school of their choice.

The teachers' union has attacked the idea as promot-ing sectarian ideas of religious private schools whichthey claim make up 87 per cent of the private schools inthe state. It says vouchers are "a violation of constitu-tional principles," and Americans should have the op-portunity to remain free to support the religious institu-tions of their choice.

This argument is well off-base. First of all, parents arenot being forced to place their children in religiousschools. In addition, an argument could be made that afamily has to accept, under the current law, the non-religious base of the public school system.

The union continues to argue that a student of differ-ent religion or with lower grades and test scores will notbe accepted in some private schools. In terms of grades,that is correct. After all, most if not all private schoolsoffer only college preparatory programs. The questionof religion, however, is inaccurate. A number of stu-dents with different religious backgrounds are beingaccepted these days in parochial schools.

This attack on private schools, which some arecalling"Catholic bashing," is simply unfair. Vouchers are onlya means of allowing a student to fulfill his or her full

Increased Enrollments Best MetWith Construction of Classrooms

It is good to see so much communitydiscussion about (he upcoming schoolbond referendum.

The editorial in the November 3 issueof The Weslfield Leader recognizes thereality of increased numbers of studentsand the need for additional classrooms,but differs from the Board of Educationin how to provide the needed space.

The plan approved by the majority ofthe Board of Education carefully bal-ances the need lo constrain costs with Iheneed to continue a well-rounded and highquality education organized around neigh-borhood schools for the elementarygrades, Kindergarten through five.

The plan outlined in The Leader eli mi-nates significant components of a basiceducation, art and music, abandons neigh-borhood schools for some, but not all,fifth graders, calls for a sharp increase inclass sizes in Ihe intermediate schoolsand requires extensive redistricting.

With The Leader'% suggested plan,(here would be no classrooms in any ofthe elementary schools or the two inter-mediate schools for art and music. Thiswould mean Ihe elimination of perform-ing arts and music in grades six througheight. While some art and music can betaught without separate facilities in Iheelementary grades, ihe performance com-ponents of an art and music program inthe intermediate schools cannot be taughtwithout specialized classrooms.

The fine arts are important to a child'sbasic education and are integral to thequality of a society.

The State of New Jersey mandates thestudy of fine arts or practical arts as a highschool graduation requirement and hasadopted mandated core proficiencies forart and music. The abandonment of artand music instruction in grades six toeight would weaken Ihe educational pro-gram Westfield provides and would putour students at a disadvantage as theyseek to complete the fine and practicalarts requirement for graduation.

A second piece of Ihe plan outlined inThe Leader involves moving some fifthgraders into the two intermediate schoolsand leaving some fifth graders in theelementary schools. While a sound pro-gram can be provided for a school systemwhich groups grades five through eight ina single school or a system which groupsgrades kindergarten through five in aschool, it is neither wise nor practical todesign a plan which moves some fifthgraders into a middle school program and

leaves other fifth graders in neighbor-hood elementary schools. The resultwould be significantly different learningopportunities and experiences for fifth-grade students dependingon whether theywere sent to a middle school or remainedin an elementary school.

A third component of The Leadersug-gestion is to sharply increase class size ingrades 6 through 8. The current averageclass size quoted by The Leader is ap-proximately 21. Because of the vagariesof schcdulingin the intermediate schools,this average includes classes as low as 12and, a high as 27 and 28. Actual classsizes at the secondary level, grades 7 to12, are regularly as much as six or sevenstudents below or above the average. Toincrease average class sizes to 24 or 25 asproposed by The Leader would mean thatsome academic classes would hit 32 or33. It is not a sound practice to educatemiddle school-aged children in classes ofthis large size.

Finally, The Leader editorial notes theplan it outlines will involve more redis-tricting than the board's proposal. This iscorrect. Fitting more students into theexisting elementary schools, even withthe movement of some fifth graders intoEdison or Roosevelt, will require exten-sive redistricting of our six elementaryschools.

The Leader editorial correctly statesthat "there is a price to pay" for the planit advocates. It is an educational price thatis loo high for Westfield children andresidents.

Constructing needed classrooms inneighborhood schools continues to be thesoundest approach lo the challenge ofincreased enrollments. It will permit thiscommunity to continue lo offer qualityeducational programs in neighborhoodelementary schools in a lax-consciousway.

Susan JacobsonVice President

Westfield Board of Education

Editor's Note: In no way will there beclasses of 32 or 33 students in the inter-mediate schools under any proposal withproper planning. The editorial in the No-vember 3 issue also suggested period andday- lengthening procedures, all of whichare not discussed here—toavoidsuchanunreal possibility. One can be for abuild-ingclassroom plan, but this sortofscare"scenario arises only i f the board were to dono planning. We don't think that is about

scholastic ability in an environment which is conduciveto learning.

Mayor Schundler has pointed out the Jersey Cityschool system, which has been run by the state Depart-ment of Education since 1989, receives over $70 mil-lion in state aid a year. He said the money still has notproduced results.

We agree with the mayor's assertion that good schoolsshould not be a luxury but a constitutional right of allschool-aged children whether rich or poor. Apparently,the teacher's union is comfortable with the low gradu-ation numbers in our city schools. Maybe they want topump even more money into the Newark system whichwas shown this year to be in a state of total disrepairphysically and educationally.

The public school system, contrary to what the teach-ers' union seems to be indicating, was not part o f thisnation or its Constitution when this country was founded.In fact, New Jersey was one of the last slates in the late19th century to adopt a public school system. Indeed,churches used to be i n the vanguard of founding schools.

In a press release from the teachers' association,officials claim there is no scientific data suggestingstudents in private schools achieve a better educationthan that of their public school counterparts. On awhole, this statement would be true if all public schoolstudents were placed in private schools. But w e aretalking about students who are underachieving becauseof the lack of motivation in some public school districtsamong both their peers and their teachers.

While private schools may not require state-issuedstandardized tests, they do have to meet the test o f statelaws.

The bottom line is the union does not want competi-tion and furthermore fears it may lose some o f its perks.For instance, private schools do not have a tenuresystem in place. In addition, private school teachers'salaries are lower than that of public school teachers.Private schools must also compete against each otherwithout the benefjt of state or federal aid. Similar to anyprivate business, private schools can go out o f business.

The teachers' association is using its strength to denypoorer children the chance to receive a thorough educa-tion because they fear a loss of jobs in city schools, if theprogram becomes a success.

The state educational association should stop usingscare tactics and allow the Jersey City pilot program toget off the ground.

Our public school system has become a failure in thecities. It is time we take another road. In that regard, thevoucher system makes a lot of sense and should bepursued.

On Different SortsOf Modest ProposalsI would like to reply to Mrs. Kathleen

SchuUz's letter of October 26. In West-field 2.9 per cent of per pupil costs in Iheschool budget is spent on administration.Compare this to the statewide average of4 per cent. In Westfield 56.2 per cent ofthis per pupil cost goes into instruction,which is higher than the average for 549other districts in the state.

Consider also our consistently supe-rioracademic results, and you must surelyagree that in Westfield we are gettingmore for our money than most of the restof the state.

As for a "more modest approach," thechallenge of providing education for theincreasing numbers of students has beendiscussed for several months and the vari-ous proposals studied. What is this othersolution that opponents of the bond aresuggesting? We have yet to hear it.

What could be more a modest approach' than borrowing the money to pay for the

extra classrooms and capital improve- -ments and paying it off over 20 years at ayearly cost of between $47 and $63 forthe average homeowner? One dollar aweek? I support Ihe bond, a modest pro-posal indeed.

This referendum should not be cut interms of whether the voter it for or againstthe education of our youth. I know of noone who is against providing quality edu-cation. The issue should be whether thisrecommendation of Ihe board majority iswiie and fiscally necessary.

Your editorial wisely point* to the factthat the board's own consultant has notedthat the rise in the student populationwhich is predicted will be a temporaryincrease. The ordinary citizen, beforespending Iheir own money, would firsttry to find a solution. Your attempt lo findother space is one such attempt. Anothermight be lo ascertain whether the other 27classrooms (you staled that 87 of 114classrooms were used for instruction, leav-ing 27 unaccounted for) could not befreed for this temporary need.

Another might well be lo temporarilyincrease class size which need not result

in any detriment to education; someschools do this without any adverse im-pact.

Both board members have stated theywere constrained from giving their fullcomments because of a board resolutionwhich bound all board member* to notactively state their reasons or undercutIhe decision of the full board. Such aresolution undercuts not the board but thecitizens of Westfield.

The board is not a club and cannot hidebehind a slogan "all for one and one forall" like the musketeers; each memberwas elected as an individual lo serve thepublic and lo give their best advice lothose who elected them. Instead we arenow asked to vote on a significant mon-etary issue without the informed judg-ment of those we elected; their tonguesare tied precisely when we most needthem — a very clever resolution but avery undemocratic one.

Such a resolution is outrageous andcannot help achieve an intelligent deci-sion, although it might well help thosewith their own agenda.

If Residents Oppose Proposed ShopRiteThen Should It Be Officially Denied?

While oountlesi letter, have alreadybeen written on Ihe topic of the proposedNorth Avenue ShopRile, 1 fee! compelledto add another.

In the interim of full disclosure, letme state at the outset that I am nether alawyer nor a construction engineer, I am,however, a resident of the north side ofWeslfield and feel obliged to voice myopposition lo ihe ridiculous proposal toconstruct a Shopftiu supermarket onNorth Avenue.

To the supporters of this misguidedventure, I strongly suggest that you ap-peal to an arts that you have thus farmanaged to exclude from your delibera-tions. The area to which I am referring iscalled common sense.

Now let's look at some common senseissuei and ask these common seme ques-tions;

• ThedeclineinthequtlityoflifeandIhe resulting fall i n property values due tothe additional noiie and traffic conges-lion is simply not acceptable. I wonderhow many ShopRite executives are plan-ning lo purchase homes in the vicinity ofthe proposed site?

• We don't reed another supermarketin the area. We already have a Foodlownin WeilfleM, a King's and a PalhMark inGarwood and, you guested it, a ShopRite

in Clark.• Why haven't Ihe residents of West-

field been polled to determine whether ornot they desire such a facility? If themajority of Westfield residents opposeihe plan, it should be dropped: End ofargument.

Further, let me clarify a few things forthe opportunists arguing in favor of thismisguided undertaking. This is ourtown.We pay the taxes that keep the townrunning. We elect the officials who areentrusted with the responsibility of pro-tecting the interests of the voters.

The very notion that the residents ofWestfield could be railroaded into thisreckless endeavor solely on the basis ofzoning technicalities is beyond ludicrous.The purpose of zoning laws is to enhanceIhe quality of life, not undermine it.

I can't help wondering who reallystands to profit from the construction ofthe North Avenue ShopRite — certainlynot the residenu of Weslfield. Should theplanning board see fit to place the inter-ests of ShopRile above the interestsof thepeople of Weslfield, the resulting declinein the quality of life will be swift andirreversible.

Professional Staff Numbers for SchoolsIn Town Way Above National Average

Recently I wrote a letter to The West-field Leader outlining several points thatI feel are pertinent to the bond issue to bevoted on December 13. You have re-ceived some letters taking issue with thefacts outlined in the letter, but not onerefilling the cold hard look at the statis-,tics.

Rhetoricisplentifulanddeep.bulnum-bers don't lie. Some people lake issuewith ihe fact that I look at Ihe schooldistrict as a business, but in iruth, there isno other way to took at it. Indeed, todayandinthefuture, publiceducatorsand thetaxpayers will be faced with growingcompetition from "for profit"educationalcompanies that will be exploiting theinefficiencies in the educational system.

PrivaUzationisoneoutlet,bulitdoesn'tslop at the maintenance level, as the peopleof Hartford, Connecticut found out.

To suggest thai, in a school district,that reports 20 to 30 retirements per yearcannot restructure its staff is unreason-able. And to renegotiate contracts is adaily occurrence in everyday life.

Since many people have nude positivecomments about the statistics which Ioffered as statements of fact, I thoughtthat it would be helpful lo do some moteresearch and comparisons using UnitedStates Department of Education data:

• Westfield spends 61 per cent moreper pupil than the national average, $9,700versus $5,971. Over 80 per cent of thatnumber is salaries and benefits, accord-ing to the school budget.

• Westfield has 46 per cent more stu-dents than ihe national average schooldistrict, 4,300 versus 2,800, yet there areclearly no efficiencies of scale.

• Westfield's student to professionalratio is at almost SO per cent of the na-tional average, 18:1 nationally as ap-proved the 10:1 in Weslfield. These arethe lowest ratios in history, according tothe United Slates Department of Educa-tion.

My points are clear. I am in favor ofimproving the physical needs of theschools, arid I feel the teachers in the frontlines are carrying the lion's share of Iheburden of educating the children and de-serve competitive pay.

I find it curious that after 200 years ofeducation in Westfield that there is noaccountability for the spending by cur-riculum in a standard and generally ac-cepted accounting principle method.

I believe that the leaders in educationmust face the reality of competition fromtechnology and other fronts and begin tolook at their field as product and con-sumer driven or face Ihe prospect of grow-ing and cost effective alternatives.

Time and time again, I hear the schoolsare not exempt from the real world as itrelates to society's changes. No state-ment could be truer as ii relates to thealternatives reaching frustrated taxpay-ers.

I'd love to see Westfield set the stan-dard rather than follow the crowd.

Return to Traditional TeachingMethods Needed in School District

It seems to me that one of the mainproblems with the Scotch Plains-FanwoodStrategic Planis what some call the "defi-nition problem." For example, in manyschool districts there is confusion con-cerning how one defines terms such as"traditional" leaching versus 'Innovative"leaching. In San Marcos, Texas, the Par-ent-Teacher Communication Networkpresented a paper to their local schoolboard which cited the use of a very effec-tive rhetorical device,the persuasive defi-nition, which I believe is also being usedright here in Scotch Plains.

The paper calls attention to how "per-suasive definitions" are used to advancea "Result,"or"Success«s" lypeof educa-tional plan. It works like this: If you havesomething you want to criticize, you as-sociate it with something generally per-ceived as good.

Here in our district, "traditional" edu-cation is being touted as rote learning,memorization and pencil pushing whichare considered bad, outmoded or ineffec-tive. It is true that traditional methods usememorization and skill practice as part ofIhe curriculum. However, many in favorof the Scotch Plains-Fanwood Plan im-ply that these traditional methods are thesole means of educating our childrenrather than the basic building blocks forhigher levels of problem-solving. Sothrough Ihe use of the "persuasive defini-tion," traditional methods are associatedwith "bad."

The other day I had lo pay for twoitems each costing $12.50 al a local ten-nis club in a neighboring town. The highschool girl behind Ihe desk had lo resortto her calculator to determine the sum ofihe two numbers to get $25. What reallyalarmed me was that she did not evenhesitate lo grab for Ihe machine. Thethought of using her God-given mind loadd Ihe numbers in her head was appar-ently foreign.

And yet according to "outcome" or"result" based education, she passed withflyingcolors. Her building block Is know-

ing to grab for a calculator.Capable teachers in Scotch Plains-

Fanwood will use creative means lopresent rote learning through the use ofsons, games, flash cords, poetry, etc.However, many claim that traditionaleducation is "ineffective." I guess theeducation those of us received prior to1994 is rendered useless and we shouldall return lo school lo get retrained so wecan advance our technology beyond thegeneration of Fred Flinstonc.

The strategic plan offered upisa theory.For theories to be proven workable, theymust be subject to repeated measurableresults. The strategic plan predicts won-derful outcomes for our children; Studentwill become self-directed learners withhigh self-esteem, collaborative workerswho can problem-solve and think criti-cally and who will become communitycontributors. However, the plan under-mines the ability to measure absoluteperformance resorting to relativistic formsof assessment such as "authentic assess-ment, alternative assessments and mul-tiple measures of assessment."

No one can argue the good intentionsof our plan and many of those advocatingi Is goals. However, Ihe residents of ScotchPlains and Fanwood would be best servedby starting with a proper definition of the

Don't Mull OverThis Word WhileSipping on Wine

Mull — 1. To ponder, study or toruminate. 2. To enhance wine, ale, orcider by heating, sweetening and fla-voring it with spices. 3. To make amess or failure of some endeavor.

Have you ever mulled over thesource of the word mull while sip-ping mulled wine or ale? This is not amulltiple choice question and youshould, therefore, not spend too muchtime mulling it over.

The three mull definitions above,although quite different, can be tracedto a single word. In 15th centuryEngland, mull meant to grind to pow-der or to pulverize. Mull is closelyrelated to mill, which is derived fromthe Latin word molere, meaning togrind. Mull is also a cognate of theDutch word mul, meaning loose earth.The modern idiomatic sense of toponder can be traced to the process ofinspecting earth by sifting it.

The Oxford English Dictionaryconjectures that mull's grinding sense,a process that softens rock, was trans-ferred to the process of mulling wineor ale because such drinks are ren-dered softer, or less harsh, in theprocess. The mess sense of mull isderived from the fact that the mullingor pulverizing action that granulatesstone is really messy.

Bond Issue Passage PicturedAs the Only Choice for Voters

Education of Yesterday Isn'tNearly Good Enough for Today

Class Sizes Were Larger, But We Received

A Better Education Than Westfleld'sI would like to thank the Westfield

Board of Education, the various Parent-Teacher Association and Parent-TeacherOrganization groups and other concernedcitizens of Westfield for the amusementthey have provided me concerning Iheupcoming bond issue. Especially the hys-teria over the negative impact of largerclass size on the "quality" of educationprovided by our public school system.

I was educated in rural upstate NewYork. The normal class size was 32 stu-dents, including the elementary levels.Twenty-eight students was consideredsmall, and 33 and 36 students was notunusual. The buildings were not alwaysnew and the textbooks not always up-to-date, but the teachers were dedicated.They had to be: School budgets and bondissues were not popularatthe ballot box.

Yet the education I received was supe-rior to the education my daughter is cur-rently receiving in the Weslfield schools.She came oulof Kindergarten writing herletters and numbers backwards. Herteacher assured me this was normal. MyKindergarten teacher would noi have tol-erated it and neither did I.

I spent the summer — evenings andweekends — since I am r. single parentand have to work, tutoring her.

She came out of first grade unable toread. Again I was told it was normal. Myfirst-grade teacher would not have toler-ated it and neither did 1.1 spent anothersummer tutoring her, and she enteredschool in the fall reading at a second-giade ievel.

And then she left second grade at thesame level. Another summer in thetrenches.

I have also been providing enrichmentat home in other subjects year-round tobring her up to the same standards towhich I was held. I have met itudenU ofvarious grade levels as well u graduatesof the Westfield schools. I am not im-pressed. Very few of them would be ableto pass the state-mandated Regents Ex-aminations required for a high schooldiploma in New York State.

This is the "quality" you are trying toprotect? Not in my book.

1 voted no on the school budget. I willvote no on the bond issue. And I willcontinue voting no until my tax dollarsare used for a real education for my daugh-ter and all the other children in IheWestfield schools.

Bonds Shouldn't Be FinancedThrough Cuts in Salaries

1 am writing this letter in response to arecent letter from investment banker,Michael Farrcll, regarding the proposedbond issue. His assertion that the neededschool construction should be financedthrough cuts in the salary component ofthe operating budget is very poorlythought out.

Clearly, the provision of education is aservice. The most integral part of theeducational process is Ihe relationshipbetween the professional educator andthe students. As in any service industrythat requires a wcll-educaled, professionalwork force, Ibrexample, investment bank-ing or law, salaries and benefits will oftenaccount for Ihe lion's share of operatingexpenses. For this reason, gross statisticson what percentage of the budget is allo-cated to employee expenses are mean-ingless.

The simplistic approach of recom-mending cuts to salaries overlooks stalelaw and contractual obligations. Statures

prohibit reducing tenured teachers' sala-ries, and the current teacher contract willnotexpireuntil 1996. Y our re»den shouldno be misled that such cuts could be madelegally and without violating the currentconlract.

Even putting aside the overwhelmingpractical impediments to this proposal, itis just bad business. The town schoolsystem will benefit fromlhe constructionand improvements, conservatively, forIhe next 20 to 30 years. Why should thetaxpayers over Ihe next eight years berequired to pay the entire bill? The bond'slong-term financing of these long-termimprovements is the fairest, most logicaland most business-like way to proceed. Itmakes absolutely no sense to financelong-term capital improvements withannual operating revenues. An invest-ment banker should—and I suspect does— know belter.

Some Answers by Poll RespondentsRaise Many More Questions

The other day I read an article enlilied,"Westfield Gives a Passing Grade toSchools in a Townwide Survey." It re-ported that 92 per cent of the 640 citizensthat responded gave the W^tffeld {choolsystem a rating'of gooa'or very good,which, of. course, gladdtiedmy heart.However, a number of paragraphs lateron made me pause in my exhilaration. Itwas like a beautiful sunny day in West-field which suddenly becomes overshad-owed by darkening clouds.

ll said, "Another question asked resi-dents to idenlify three out of lOoulcomesthat are 'not proper' goals for the West-field public schools. The most popularanswer was that it is not proper lo teachchi Idrcn Ihe skills and altitudes necessaryfor responsible participation in a demo-cratic society.

"Thesecond most popularanswer wasthat it is not proper to teach childrenethical principles and values, while thethird most popular answer was that it isnot proper to teach children responsibil-ity to protect the environment."

If this be true, then our educational tys-tem has a more profound task on itshands, for example, the education of itsadult citizenry. ,

My daughter, Eli sa, tried to soften (heblow: "Perhapsi" site said! "adults feelthat these educational objectives shouldbe taken care of in the home." ' '

Now we know that attitudinal objec-tives are attained by interaction betweenIhe individual and three factors, for ex-ample, Ihe home, the school and theindividual's peers. But it is conceivablethe home may be derelict in its obligationlo contribute to these important objec-tives. The school must therefore act as aback-up to assure that trained personnelare devoting their skilled methods in pro-moting them.

However, you and I are convinced ofthis necessity. But the sad realization isthat the survey revealed a phenomenallack of understandingof the very essenceof responsibility of the school system bythe adults who responded to the survey.Are these human relations skills as im-portant as "a" square plus "b" squareequals "c" square? You don't have toanswer this rhetorical question.

past, nor what is to c o m e , butof UH <lu.

—Jean <le La Bruyere

This letter is in response to The West-field Leader editorial supporting theWestfield school system, but without rec-ommending passagcof the proposed bond.

I have read your recommendations andwithout even researching your numbers,there appears to be some flaws in yourproposal:

• Youassumethattheavailableclass-rooms are evenly dispersed throughoutthe school district. What if room avail-ability is not evenly dispersed and stu-dent are not where the classrooms arelocated?

• You plan on increasing class size tothe maximum of 25 — self-imposed bythe school board. What happens if theproposed number of new student enter-ing the school system, that is, 400, under-ejtimates the number of students thatactually enter the school system? Is thereany room for expansion with your plan?

• You do not believe busing is re-quired because almost all students willlive wilhin a two-mile radius of theirassigned school. Those students outsideof the two-mile radius could attend "sat-ellite" fifth-grade classrooms at the el-ementary school. How would you or yourchildren like to see their friends moved toanother school while you are left behindbecause of the location of your residencein Weslfleld? Do you plan on havingdifferent classroom sizes at these "satel-lite" fifth-grade classes as compared tothe middle schools or will busing still berequired?

I grew up during the baby boom era ina town with similar demographics toWestfield. The schools were approxi-mately ihe same ages as those in West-field, but with a greater numbers of kidsin the school system. Even with thesegreater numbers we were still providedwith: Busing for children outside of aone-mile radius from school, class sizesof 20 to 22 student, an art room, a musicroom, a room for special needs such asspeech therapy, a gym, a cafeteria and acontinuity of education in the same loca-tion every year.

By providing us with facts The Leaderproposes that money derived from thebond issue is not essential for qualityeducation and that instead, a "reshuf-fling" be taken to meet this increaseddemand on resources. It is hard for me toaccept that my children will sit in Ihesame room, all day for classwork, lunch,music and art — even 1 don't have to sitin my office for the entire day! I haveeven been told that other special pro-grams, such as speech therapy, some-times must take place in the hallwaysbecause no room is available in the build-ing.

The impression I received is the edito-rial staff has no children in the publicschool system.

Children need room to move duringthe day. It is hard enough to get a child tosit for IS minutes, but for three to fourhours straight is impractical and some-times even impossible!

Would you want your five-year-old tobe in a classroom with 25, or possiblymore, other students? This would be avery difficult learning situation for some

' • c h i l d r e n a t t h i s y o u n g ' a g ' d . i ' '••••••< •'••'••' Would you want yourchild separated

- by school from other fifth-grade classes..

if you do not live in the "right" location?1 do not believe you would want this tohappen lo your child.

Would you want your children to havespeech therapy in a hallway? There isalready enough peer pressure in theschools. A lack of privacy can only in-crease the stigma and reduce the educa-tional effectiveness.

If this proposed bond is not passed, theissue of school expansion may become amoot point. I am sure that many people,especially young families, will start toreconsider the reason they live in West-field. Most of these people probably con-sider the quality of the Westfield schooldistrict as one of the most important rea-sons they are here. Without town support,the only direction the schools could go isdown. Many of these young families willprobably reevaluate the reason they livehere.

A lack of support — this is the impres-sion many of those living in the town, andmore importantly of those that may beinterested in moving into Westfield, willhave. The saying "perception is reality"will hold true and many people will startto think this way.

In the end The Leader and the peoplewho vote against the proposed bond willgel what they want — fewer resourcesrequired in supporting the school system.This would be due to young familiesmoving out of Westfield and a lack ofnew families moving in. Westfield'sschool population would decease, alongwith a decay in the quality of life ofWestfleld's residents.

Bicentennial ShopGoes Out of BusinessTomorrow, Friday, November 18,

"Our final sale is your last chanceduring this Bicentennial celebrationto obtain these custom-made, high-quality memorabilia and useful giftitems,'t>said Mrs. Joan Hogan, Bicen-tennial'Commissioner in charge ofthe shop.

The shop is now exclusively lo-cated in the United Fund Office in thenorthside train station. Its hours are10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The sale, resched-uled from last Friday, begins tomor-row and will end when all items aresold.

Proceeds from the sale of Bicen-tennial gift items have been used tohelp defray the cost of special eventsfor the community during the Bicen-tennial celebration and will be do-nated to the Reeves House, the West-field Historical Society's new per-manent home.

I am a first generation immigrant. Ireceived my first work visa in 1978 be-cause the corporation which hired mecouldn't find an available American whowas qualified for ihe job. Increasingly,American corporations are exporting jobs,not just in the manufacturing sector, butalso in many areas of research and devel-opment where highly qualified individu-als i n other countries can perform compa-rably for a fraction of the cost.

This will only increase the competi-tion our children will face for the jobs thatremain.

Children in Europe and Asian spendmore hours studying each day and moredays studying each year than their coun-terparts in the United States. If our chil-dren are lo be competitive in this environ-ment, then what was good enough for usand our parents will not suffice for ourchildren. The education provided in West-field today may be good, but it must bebetter and its improvement must begin inthe elementary schools.

The school population is currently ex-panding. Classrooms have as many as 25children in them. Schools have alreadyforfeited the use of specialized class-rooms for music and art and, in FranklinSchool, Ihe computer classes arc held inthe hallway.

Which brings me to the proposed bondissue.

Any proposal to solve the expectedovercrowding — other than increasedclass size — will cost money. If themoney does not come from a bond issue,it will come out of the current schoolbudget which is capped by the stale. Thiswill leave less money to educate all thechildren of Westfield. If you are a parentwhose children do not attend a school forwhich the construction of new classroomsis proposed, do not think that you will beunaffected by a no vote.

So I say to the residents of Westfield:

If you believe the children of the com-munity will get the best education withincreased class sizes, vote against theboard's proposal.

If you believe these children will re-ceive sufficient individualized attentionwith 25 or more students to a classroom,vote against the board's proposal.

If you believe these children will re-ceive the necessary computer skills in anenvironment that cannot even provide aclassroom for the computers, vote againstthe board's proposal.

If you believe that $100 a year perhousehold is an outrageous amount fornew classrooms, vote against the board'sproposal.

If you believe we can afford to delaywhile we second guess the recommenda-tion of the Superintendent of Schools andthe decision of the School Board, voteagainst the board's proposal.

Ultimately, I will do whatever I musttoensure that my children have the great-est educational advantage. Their's is anuncertain future, and 1 want them to beamply prepared. You, too, must decidehow you choose to spend your money. Itwas education that enabled me to comehere; it would be ironic i fit was educationthat caused me to leave.

State Group Offers TipsOn Thanksgiving Safety

As families plan to visit relativesand friends this Thanksgiving, theNew Jersey State Safety Council of-fers the following tips to help every-one enjoy the holiday safely:

"Beforestarting out on a longdrive,winterize your car. Check the brakes,fluids, battery, tires, exhaust system,wipers and headlights. Allow plentyof travel time, especially if weatherand road conditions are bad. Makesure everyone in the vehicle is pro-tected by safety belt or properly in-stalled approved child safety seat.Take rest breaks periodically to pre-vent drowsiness and provide achanceto stretch and drive defensively.

"When holiday visits include youngchildren, take precautions to preventinjuries in the home. Keep glassware,knives, sharp utensils and appliancecords away from the edge of tablesand counters. Move potentially poi-sonous substances like householdcleaners and medicines out of reachand sight of children and avoid mis-haps by keeping youngsters out ofthe kitchen. On extended visits askyour host to lower the temperature ofthe water heater to 120 degrees Fahr-enheit to prevent scalds. Beware ofold baby furniture which may notmeet today's safety standards.

"Start with a clean work surfaceand utensils. Avoid foot contamina-tion by handling foods safely. Neveruse the same knife or cutting board tocut both raw meat and vegetable.Stuff the turkey loosely just beforeplacing it in the oven and roast it at323degrees. Allow 18to 24 minutesper pound for a stuffed bird and 15 to18 minutes per pound for an unstuffedone, When done, the inserted meatthermometer should read IROdegreesin the thigh and 165 degrees in the

stuffing. Remove the stuffing and letthe turkey stand 20 minutes for bettercarving," according to a spokesman.

Mountain Avenue ParkingBan Is Tabled by Council

of the Lexington Heights Develop-ment.

In terms of the Mountain Avenuepinking ordinance, the governingbody decided not to act on the nnii-nmice utter Fourth Ward CouncilmanJ;uncs I lely said the proposal was nota good itleasi nee the restriction wouldbe in front of a new sidewalk thut wasjust put in neai a new park which wasconstructed as pan of (he town's Hi-CLMUenniul effort.

The ordinance would have bannedparking along the westerly side ofMountain Avenue between WalnutStreet and Lawrence Avenues. Thepark is located at the intersection ofMountain and Lawrence Avenues.

Councilman llely said he was op-posed to the ordinance, since its solepurpose was aimed at solving the busproblem which he noted may now beresolved with the help of Assembly-man Richard II. Bagger, the formerWeslfield Mayor. The assemblyman,who represents the 22nd LegislativeDistrict which includes Westileld, hasbeen in contact with New Jersey Tran-sit officials to have the buses com-plete their layovers along the restarea on Route No. 22 just off Moun-tain Avenue.

The councilman said the. issuewould be better solved administra-tively and that the ordinance wassimply "political season town fool-ery" at which lime he asked the coun-cil to reconsider adopting such a law.

Mayor Garland C. "Bud" Boothe,Jr. questioned Third Ward Council-man and Chairman of the Transporta-tion. Traffic and Parking Committee,Kenneth L. McRitchie, on whetherthe committee considered the time ofday when discussing the drafting ofthe ordinance.

The mayor suggested an argumentcould be made that the morning andevening tush hours are more hazard-ous to drivers and thus parking re-strictions at these times might be abelter idea. Councilman MacRitchienoted that the committee had not con-sidered this option.

In other business, a resolution waspassed that rejects the bids receivedfor the replacement of a curb alongProspect Street due to the fact thebids exceeded the estimate given forthe work by Town Ungineer KennethI!. Marsh.

Officials noted that monies appro-priated for other projects that had not

been used will be available to ensurethat the project is paid for by funds in(he 1994 budget.The total amount selaside for (he project was $30,000.

The council approved a resolutionawarding the contract of Penalozaand Caldcrone of .Somerset for themilling and paving of the MemorialPool Parking Lot and the municipalparking lots 3 and 3A which are lo-cated near the Southside Train Sta-tion. The company was the low bid-der with a proposal of $72,760.

The council adopted an ordinancethat expands the Board of Healthfrom seven to nine members. Thetwo additional members will be alter-nates. Officials noted alternates arenecessary so that the board can havea quorum at their meetings whichbegin at 5 p.m.

Only one bid was received for fur-nishing the town with snow and icematerials. Atlantic Salt of Staten Is-land bid $14,556.

has requested permission to park a application by the end of this year.blood donor van in front of 43 ElmStreet from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. onWednesday, December 21.

The mayor questioned why the rec-ommendation was made for the busi-est season of the year. Mr. Gottkonoted there are several reasons. Hesaid part of the reason is the lowblood supply. In addition, the organi-zation expects to attract more interestfrom the large shopping crowds. Also,he said people tend to be more likelyto give blood during the holiday sea-son.

Third Ward Councilman, Gary G.Jenki ns, said he was going to attend ameeti ng by the Department of Trans-portation which was held yesterdayat To wn Hal I. The subject of the meet-ing was a project by the state to re-place an existing deck on the CentralAvenue overpass.

Councilman Jenkins said the statehas agreed to do the work next sum-mer when there will be less trafficdue to the closure of schools. A re-quest to come up with a major detourplan was rejected by the agency, hesaid, because the work will not takelong to complete.

Councilman LaPorta, who is Chair-man of the Solid Waste Committee,said he will contact the Waste Man-agement Association in Scotch Plainsabout setting up a meeting with hiscommittee for the purpose of dis-cussing his proposal for a two-tiersystem for trash collection.

The councilman wants to have asystem whereby lower generators oftrash such as seniorcitizens who livealone would pay on a per can basis.He said Edward M. Cornell, Jr., Presi-dent of the trade group for the haul-ers, notified the councilman lastmonth that he did not want to takepart in any discussion until after themayoral election.

Councilman LaPorta wants to meetwith the group's representatives andtry to work out an agreement beforehis two-year term on the council ex-pires at the end of the year.

Mayor Boothe noted he will reap-point Mrs. Marilyn Shields as an al-ternatemember of the Planning Boarduntil the end of the hearings on theproposal by Village Supermarkets toconstruct a ShopRite on North Av-enue. In addition, the mayor recom-mended he and Fourth Ward Coun-cilman Michael E. Panagos be reap-pointed to the board, so the boarddoes not have to rush through the

Mayor Boothe said the Thursday,December 22, meeting would becan-celled, if the council approves hisrecommendation, with a morninghearing scheduled for Saturday, Janu-ary 14. The hearing will be open forthe public to make statements on theShopRite proposal including whetherthey are for or against the applica-tion. Throughout the application pro-cess, residents have only been per-mitted to question the testimony ofeach of the witnesses in the case.

Mr. Brandt told the council theManor Park Swim Club iscontinuingits efforts to get a tax exempt status.Mr. Brandt indicated the club pays$ 11,000 each year in property taxes.He added that the club, which sup-posedly has claimed in the past to behaving financial problems, made$22,000 in profits in 1993.

He said the town will have to get anopinion from a tax appraiser in theease. Also, since the town transferredthe four-acre property to the club for$8,300 a number of years ago, a righl-of-revcrsal exists.

Mr. Brandt told The WestfieidLeader, under the terms of this agree-ment, if the property is used for any-thing other than a swim club, it willrevert back to the town's control.

He said only charitable and educa-tional organizations such as the RedCross and the YMC A are tax exempt.Mr. Brandt said, by exempting oneswim club, all others in Westileld andthe state, would have to be consid-ered for the same tax-free status.

Third Ward Councilman KennethL. MacRitchie noted he was recom-mended to the club they not pursuethe case which he i ndicatcd cannot bewon.

Mr. Brandt said the Union CountyBoard of Taxation denied the requestof the club. He noted the state TaxCouncil, located in Morristown, isexpected to hear the appeal made bythe swim club next year, possibly inthe spring.

Raiders Qualify for PlayoffsBy Blasting Blue Knights, 21-8The Scotch Plains-Fanwood Varsity

Football Team rebounded from a diffi-cult 28-21 loss at the hands of Shabazzlast weekend to defeat Irvington 21-8 onNovember 12. The victory clinched aNorth Jersey, Section No. 2, Group No. 3playoff birth for the Raiders.

The Raiders completed all their scor-ing with three successful touchdowndri ves in the first quarter as the team tooka 21-0 lead.

Scotch Plains-Fanwood started its scor-ing when senior quarterback KevinRosander connected with LawrenceMcGriff on a 51 -yard touchdown pass.He later carried the ball into the end zonefrom the one-year-line for a 14-0 lead.

The third touchdown came courtesy ofa 40-yard dash down the right sideline bysenior Adam Cote to make the score 21-0 in favor of the Raiders.

Scotch Plains-Fanwood senior JulianoDiNizo converted on all three point-afterkicks for the team.

Irvington broke the Raiders shutoutbid in the third quarter following a one-yard touchdown run by sophomore BarishGrant who played the fullback positionfor the first time this season. Irvingtonadded two points when Ahmad Vincentfollowed with (he conversion run to makethe score 21-8.

Cote led the Raiders with 81 yardsrushing versus the 115 yards gained byVincent of Ihe Blue Knights in a losingcause. Rosander rushed for 69 yards.

The Raiders, which are now 6-2 on theseason, havcalready assured Head CoachSteve Ciccotclli his first winning recordin four seasons with the team. The Raid-

SPORTSers got off to a quick 4-0 start beforefalling to Westfield 14-7 last month.

The team rebounded after that gamewith a big 3-0 victory over Linden beforesuffering last week's setback to Shabazz.

Coach Ciccotelli's team will not playagain until Thanksgiving Day, Novem-

ber 24, when they take on powerhouseUnion in an away game.

Union won the Group No. 4, SectionNo. 2 title last year. The Farmers crushedthe Raiders 46-7 in the 1993 turkey daygame, just another incentive for ScotchPlains-Fanwood as if they needed it.

Devil Boy Runners PlaceSecond at Championships

By JOHN O'BRIENSimrlallf Wmtrttjm The Wnlfirlil Uailrr

Toput it mildly, November 12'sGroupNo. 4 Championships were fast.

Despite having almost every memberrecord a personal best, the Westficld BoysCross Country Team was held to secondplace, a mere 25 points behind HighlandRegional. This was the second year in arow that Westfield fell just short of vic-tory.

As he has for most of the season, MattElmuccio led Wcslfield, and this time allof Group No. 4, for the individual victoryin 16 minutes, 27 seconds.

Following Elmuccio was TedKilcommons and Ryan Stefulk who fin-ished with identical 17 minute, 11 secondtimings. Close on Ihcir heels was DonCambria who sprinted home in 17 min-utes and 18 seconds on the ultra-hillyHolmdel Park course. All four timesearned spots on Wcstfield's prestigiousHolmdel Park all-time list.

The fifth man for the Blue Devils this

week was John O'Brien who was fol-lowed closely by Adam Barcan inWestfield's sixth spol. Both runnerschopped an impressive 30 seconds offtheir personal best times for the course.Abdallah Simaka was the seventh man,but he could not make up the groundwhich he lost after being caught in trafficat the beginning of the trails.

Though they did not win, the harrierswere pleased with their times. AsElmuccio noted, "It was the opposite oflast week. We were happy with our times,but the team's place was a bit disappoint-ing."

Next week the harriers look to breakthrough to the next level in which wouldbe the last cross country race for thesenior quartet of Kilcommons, Cambria,O'Brien and Barcan.

A second-place finish is entirely pos-sible as the harriers hope to exact revengeupon Highland and defeat long time nem-esis Christian Brothers Academy.

Kopnicki said that the course was thehardest that he ever ran and that next yearthe Raiders will run the course morebefore the meet in order to prepare.

The 1994 Cross Country season was avery successful one for the team. Thisyear has shown what potential the teamhas for the future with ihe Raiders losingfew upper classmen. Among the missedupperclassmen will be Lilly. However,the team still has plenty of members thatcan fill the number one spot. The girlsteam will not loscany runners and juniorsBrown and Rutkowski look to lead theteam again next year.

One other note of interest is that thereis rumor that there might be another coachnext year to help coach the girls team.

The Westfield Girls' Cross CountryTeam achieved their last goal, ranking inthe top 10 at the Group No. 4 champion-ships on November 12.

Coach Thomas Hornish mentioned that"the success of the 1994 team is a directresult of not only hardwork, but belief inthemselves and each other. This seasonwe achieved most of our seasonal goalsand established a standard by which fu-ture teams will be judged."

The team achievements include a 12-1dual meet record, first place at the UnionCounty Championship, second place atthe American Division of the WatchungConference, first place at the Stale Sec-tional Championship and seventh placeat the Group 4.

The team ended their season on a verypositive note, running the fastest set ofperformances a Westfield team has everrun on the Holmdel course. Six out of theseven runners ran times fast enough to beplaced on Westfield's Top 15 All TimePerformance List at Holmdel Park.

Freshman Kathryn Hintze ran an ex-cellent race to finish in 38th place clock-ing in at 21 minutes, 29 seconds. Asusual, Hintze led the Westfield harriersand brought the pack forward as she dem-onstrated her skills in the sport.

Junior Sharon Gambino emerged ontothe final stretch with a outstanding kick,passing the two teammates that had run infront of her throughout the race, finishing47th place at 21 minutes, 42 seconds.

Junior Karen McGuire made a remark-able comeback from an injury that hadpreviously hindered her performance atthe finish line. McGuire led Ihe harriersas the second Lady Devil, followingHinlze throughout the grueling Holmdelcourse. McGuire finished six secondsafter Gambino at minutes, 48 seconds,good for 51st place.

Junior Xanda Martins ran up withMcGuire until Ihe final stretch where shewas out-sprinted, but still lurned-in agreat performance. Martins beat her 1993Group 4 performance by one second,crossing the finish line in 54th place at 21minutes, 50 seconds.

Senior Catherine Engell ran her lastrace representing the girls' cross countryteam at Holmdel. Engell has been a con-stant varsity runner for two years and ranthe course beating her past times to give

On third-and-five,the split end snared tailback BrandonDoerr's pass and lugged it to Ihe PerthAmboy 35. Two plays later, after anothernear disaster, he picked up 13 yards on anend-around to the 17, to which a 10-yardbonus was tacked on when the Red Raid-ers were penalized for facemasking.Lamom Turner, Lee and Todd Dowlingeach picked up short gains before Lee'sscore.

MarcusThornton, Kantu Barr and GregJackson led the defenstveeffort. Thorntonhad five tackles and a fumble recovery,while Barr sacked Penh Amboy quarter-back Michael Alvarez for a pair of sig-nificant 10-yard losses. Dowling, whoalong with Docrr had six tackles, andBrian Russo picked up fumbles and Leehad an interception for Weslfield.

pay off. Westfield held the ball for 21plays through almost the entire secondperiod but was slopped jusi short of thegoal line, while Perth Amboy won onthree lightning-quick touchdown runs,the latter two coming on successive playsin the final quarter. With the Red Raidersnursing a 7-0 lead, Anderson Ovilcs,whose 65-yard run off tackle in the firstperiod produced it, went 40 yards on areverse for his second touchdown early inthe fourth quarter. On the first play ofWestfield's ensuing possession, BrillBrown picked upChrisGiacone's fumbleand ran 35 yards unimpeded for the RedRaiders final score. The grimly gameWestfielders came right back on a seven-play, 65-yard drive, keyed by Giacone's30-yard end sweep and Glenn Hurley's14-yard pass reception, to narrow thefinal margin to 20-6.

Westfield held the ball for 29 of the 36plays run in the first half and yet walkedoff at the break trailing by a touchdown.Giacone and Pat McMahon did theyeoman's work, each carrying 11 limes,McMahon for 27 yards and Giacone for68.

Just when you thought it was safe toplay defense.

The Westfield Blue Devils succumbedto an overwhelming Linden rushing at-tack November 12,surrenderingfive rush-ing scores to five different backs in a 33-6 loss.

Westfield's, 3-5, defense seemed toshore up in its past two tests, allowingonly 17 points per game, compared toover 35 in the three contests previous tothat. Yet Linden unleased its diverse run-ning game, shredding the Devil defensefor 242 rushing yards.

Linden asserted itself early, needingonly three plays to open the scoring.Mike Miller tallied the final 17 of a 59-yard drive with a touchdown lhat putLinden on top 6-0.

Weslfield was ihen bitten by the turn-over bug that has plagued the Devils inthe past two weeks. Dropping back inshotgun formation on the Linden 14.tailback Steve Check's pass was tippedby a blitzing and untouched Linden line-backer. The pass was caught by a Lindenlineman and returned to the Westfield 13.James Kidd scored on the next play, de-flating the Devils and making the lead 13-0.

Linden's advantage grew to 20-0 withWilson Rosembert's four-yard dive cap-ping an eight play, 80-yard drive in thesecond quarter. That was the score unlilthe fourth quarter, when Linden tackedon two more scoring runs of 13 and 14yards by KcnCharlotin and CurtisGlovcr,respectively.

Sandwiched between those touch-downs was Westfield' s only score on theday, courtesy of an outstanding effort byjunior Brian Ciemniecki. In at tailbackfor the possession, Ciemniecki first burstthrough the line for a 40-yard run, then

Three turnovers and key failed third-down conversions killed Devil momen-tum.

Blue Devil StickstersEnd Season at 9-5-3 Mark

By SARAH ROBERTSSp dolly WritttnlnrTht Wtstfitld Uodtr

Despite the fact that this season wasinitially looked at as a rebuilding season,ihe Westfield Field Hotkey Team fin-ished with a 9-5-3 record, matching lastyear's record.

The Blue Devils lost their final gameof the season 2-1 in the first round of thestale tournament to Columbia ofMaplewood.

Columbia scored their first goal earlyin the first period, setting Westfield down1 -0 at the half. With five minutes left inthe game, senior Joanna McGonigle liedthe game. But, the score would not re-main that way. Columbia scored the finallime three minutes into overtime to handWeslfield iheir loss.

'The girls were outstanding this sea-son," commented Coach MaggieMcFadden. "Although we didn'l achieveour ultimate goals, we slill played reallywell."

According to McFadden, the BlueDevils were only outplayed in their lossto Pingry. In the other four losses, thegirls dominated, but just could not get theball into the goal.

While attributing the season's successto the entire team, a few players stood out.Senior Co-Captain Jen Schwartzenbeckset a school record, since records havebeen kept, with E 6 goals and three assiststhis season.

Senior Laura Cashman also had anoutstanding season initiating the offen-sivcaltack from theright side. McGonigleplayed outstanding defense and seniorCo-Captain Megan O'Brien played wellat goalie.

Despite it being her first-year playing

the field in varsity field hockey, seniorTaryn MacKenna "was a real surprise.She was tenacious and aggressive in themidficld and really spurred the kinds on,"said McFadden.

All in all, the girls performed wellbeyond McFadden's expectations. Evenwith Ihe loss of many core seniors,McFadden believes that the [cam hasenough dcplh to carry them through nextseason.

What Noise From Proposed ShopRiteIs Pertinent to Planning Board?

Noise was the topic at a recent Plan-ning Board session. Under considerationis the super-mega ShopRite store thatmay land at the current site of WestfieldLumber.

The ShopRite lawyer, of course, isattempting to downplay any increase innoise pollution, just as the attempt wasmade to downplay any increase in airpollution or traffic congestion. To hearShopRite's version, it will be the firstmega store ever that will have virtuallyno impact whatsoever on its immediatesurroundings!

Now we often excuse lawyers from thecommon sense requirement of citizens.However, the twisting of regulations tosuit this developer's purpose may makeus laugh until we cry if we're not careful.Here's their logic:

Noise from trucks and tractor-trailersthat occurs on a public road is partiallyexempted from certain noise ordinances.The stale apparently had to make certainexemptions since common sense saysthat il'i not possible to control all load-way noise throughout the state. Conse-quently, counsel for ShopRite only wishes

todiscuss noise that occurs within the siteof the proposed store. Their contentionappears to be that even though trucks arenoisiest when accelerating or braking,these noises occur mostly on the publicroarls. Therefore, the Planning Boardshouldn't be concerned about thesenoises!

Back to common sense. Diesel tractor-trailers make noise. Diesel tractor-traij-ers can't tell whether they're in a parkinglot, loading dock or public road. To get tothe store, they gotta use the road. Hot-airballoons aren't being used to deliver trac-tor-trailer loads of food. The more youuse the road, the more you affect theneighborhood. Common sense suggeststhat the effect of both site noise and roadnoise be considered by the PlanningBoard.

After 200 years, we have one of theprettiest communities in the state. Cer-tainly, common sense has helped alongthe way. it would be a shame not to keepor wits about us at this late dale!

You See, Not All the WorldIs as Bad as We Think

Recently our dog, Searnus, was killedby a car after being missing fur a week.We were devastated.

But, as time goes by, we find ourselvesreflecting more and more on the caringand support we received from friends,neighbors and strangers alike — peoplewho took time from their busy lives tostop in, call or write to offer held in oursearch for him.

This outpouring of support has been awonderful learning experience for ourchildren and, surprisingly at our age, formy husband and myself.

People really are wonderful.Despite wars in Bosnia, assassinations

in the Mideast, rapes, carjackings, drive-by shootings and drug-related horrors,there are many more good people thanevil in our world.

Newspapers and television seem toreport mostly shocking and depressingnews of man's inhumanity to man. The

local gossip is laden with who's divorc-ing whom and what family'schild is mostrecently in trouble. Schools send homemostly warnings about failure and lack ofparticipation.

Let'scul ourselves abreaklWeare, bynature, kind, compassionate, teachableand honorable human beings. It is easy tooverlook these qualities because of thepressures of surviving in our disasterdriven society. How about acknowledg-ing that we aren't bad people — that ourcups are half full of goodness, ralher thanhalf empty, and that given our intelli-gence, energy and imagination we canmake our lives bloom with the best hu-man characteristicsrightinourown smallpart of the world's garden.

Thanks to all whooffered held, prayers,support and condolences. You have in-spired us.

We Didn't Have Rooms DevotedTo Either Art or Music

Are there parents in town distraughtabout the possible temporary loss of mu-sic and art rooms in the Westfield schools?If so, allow me a few words of consola-tion.

It is no secret that virtually all paro-chial schools lack such frills as specialspace reserved for music an dart instruc-tion. Holy Trinity, which I attended, wasno exception. Butthe arts;miure you,'were very much alive and well there.

Mrs. Mildred Robinson Ferris, for ex-ample, came to the high school once aweek to offer art classes in our usualclassrooms. She remained after school toaccommodate talented students whowished some one-on-one guidance—in,of course, an ordinary classroom.

The high school gymnasium and audi-torium usually would serve as music roomfor the work of Sister Rose PerpetuaBreslin, who was able to train, in suchsurroundings and by herself, several glee

clubs and a choir, presenting them innumerous superb concerts and churchservices through (he year. Sister Roselovingly and tirelessly devoted herself tothe musically promising among us. And,unlike present students in the Westfieldschools, we lacked no opportunity to beheard publicly as soloists in school pro-ductions. . . . . . .

Lack of specific rooms consecrated tomusic and art in no way impeded mypersonal aspirations in these fields. I re-member having been chosen one of adozen New Jersey high school students tobe shown in the Trenton State Museum.Andl graduated toenteroneoflhenation'sforemost music conservatories, where Iwas quite prepared lo compete with class-mates who had been pampered in theirschools with every conceivable amenity.

Quantity Does Not MakeFor Quality in Marriage

By LOUIS H. CLARKSptcMly Wrintnfnr Tht WnlfirldUatttr unrf Vu Turn

Look, I am not an expert on thehappy marriage. Though, only hav-ing been married once and stayingthat way may qualify me more thansome expert who has been marriedfour times. Quantity does not makefor quality in these cases. But that'sneither here nor there. I am writingthis because of the backlash I getwhen I comment on the findings ofothers whichlreport—togetherwithmy own observations.

Recently, I wrote something aboutan unlikely couple. She was cham-pagne, ballet and symphony. He wasbeer, basketball and football. I madea confident prediction that they "d getalong well because they were suchopposites. I cited the fact my wife andI are as different as French fries andmashed potatoes.

I did not issue a law written in stonethat everyone had to be exact oppo-sites to be happy. In fact, I know lotsof couples who have everything incommon, starting from the love ofmoney to an aversion to beer nuts —

and are very compatible indeed.The backlash on this one was a

little more personal than usual. Mywife was gently plagued by friendswho wanted to know where we weredifferent and by how much. Even ourteenage daughter, who is normallyjust about as impressed with our tastein music as with the important thingsin life, was shocked enough to tell usthat, "Everyone at school wanted toknow how you're both different."

"I couldn't tell them," she said,"because you are always saying, 'no,'all the time and at the same time."

That's when my wife finally puther foot down.

"That is the end of their discussionnow and forever. If youcan't tell howwe differ you will have to remainignorant," my wife stated.

My son, on whom I can alwaysdepend to put a period to everythingby saying, "When do we eat?" said,"I'm starved."

So, in the future, please rememberthat what the experts say is not aneternal truth. Their "eternal" usuallylasts as long as a "permanent" wave.

Board Asked to Amend OrdinanceThat Disallows Rock Climbing

Group Is Seeking Use ofWatchung Reservation Cliff

By PAUL J.PEYTONSpecially WHIM for Thr WntfitU Leadtr

A proposal was made last week bya rock climbing group lo the UnionCounty Board of Chosen Freehold-ers to amend its ordinance whichdisallows such activity in theWatchung Reservation. The groupwants the board to permit rock climb-ing near Seely's Escarpment on Dia-mond Hill Road in Berkeley Heights.

Jeffrey Lucas, the President ofWatchung Area Rock Climbers Or-ganization, a newly formed groupwith approximately 50members, saidthe cliff is only about 30 to 35 feet offtheground. He said anchors would beused on both the top and bottom ofthe cliff to ensure the safety of theclimbers. This process, he said, isknow as toproping.

The cliff will be used only by per-sons who want to learn how to climb.Mr. Lucas, a Basking Ridge resident,said the training groups would con-sist of a maximum of a dozen climb-ers to an average of four or five.

In response to a question by Free-holder Walter McLeod, Mr. Lucasnoted that about one-third of thegroup's members are from UnionCounty.

Freeholder Elmer M. Ertl said Mr.Lucas was "unrealistic" in statingthat the placement of warning signsat the top of thecliff will help preventnon-members from having accidents.

Mr. Lucas said posters explainingto passersbys of the availability therock climbing training group will beplaced at the bottom of the cliff.

In other business, the board intro-duced an ordinance that will appro-priate $6 million for the renovationand improvements at the GallopingHill Golf Course in Union. A total of$5,714,285 will be bonded for 15years. Oneof the additions toGallop-ing Hill will be a miniature golfcourse.

Freeholder Chairman Frank H.Lehr announced that he would con-sider donating the Robinson-BownesHouse on the Oak Ridge Golf Coursein Clark to any historical group thatwould help pay for its re-locationfrom the golf course.

Freeholder Lehr said he would rec-ommend the board pay whatever itwould have cost to demolish the build-ing for the relocation of the building.The recommendation was made bythe county's Parks and RecreationAdvisory Board. The building datesback to the 18th century.

A numberof county residents spokebefore the board on the planned reno-vation of the county Trap and Skeet <Shooting facility located in Cranfordon the border of Kenilworth.

The board is waiting for an envi-ronmental report to be completedwhich has been requested by the stateDepartment of Environmental Pro-tection and Energy before they willsignoff on the project.

Mario Vitale, a 35-year resident ofCranford, said the lead from the am-munition used to shoot the clay pi-geons during skeet shooting oxidizesand thus has not caused an environ-mental hazard at the facility.

Ronald Leonardo, Manager of thefacility, thanked the board for what isexpected to be its approval on pro-ceeding with the renovation which isestimated at $1.1 million. A total of$400,000 would be obtained fromGreen Acres funds.

Freeholder Ertl said he would liketo see a different type of materialused for the pigeons, possibly onemade out of asphalt. Also, he said hewould like to see a different type ofammunition possibly of a steel mate-rial, instead of the lead currently used.

Facts on Alzheimer'sWill Be ExplainedOn November 22

Saint Barnabas SeniorHealth ispresenting "The Facts AboutAlzheimer's Disease" on Tuesday,November 22, from 10:30 a.m. tonoon in the Saint Barnabas MedicalCenter Auditorium, Old Short HillsRoad, Livingston.

Dr. Jeffrey Frankel, a board certi-fied Saint Barnabas neurologist, willdiscuss the signs, causes and treat-ment of Alzheimer's disease. A ques-tion-and-answer period will follow.Free parking vouchers will be dis-tributed at the event.

The talk, initially planned to takeplace in November, Alzheimer's Dis-ease Awareness month, is particu-larly timely in light of former Presi-dent Ronald W.

Roger Furiness of Union, a shooterat the range, said there has been notests released indicating the water inthe Rahway has been contaminatedby the lead left on the Trap an Skeetfacility's grounds. He said the leadpellets have been on the ground for65 years, and they would be harmfulif they were "spoon fed to children."

Michael DePaul of Roselle, whohas run leagues and registered shootsover the past 14 years, said pollutionis not an issue since the facility issolely used for 10 hours on week-ends. He said the buildings need reno-vation both to the interior and exte-rior.

He said 50 per cent of the money

spent by shooters in fees goes towardthe profits the facility generates. Mr.DePaul said this money will be usedto help finance some of the improve-ments. He added further the watercomes from under the ground and notfrom the surface and thus the river isnot impacted.

Representatives of the county'sDepartment of Public Works in-formed the board they wish to changeunions.

Usual Business SkillsJust Aren't Enough

By DR. CAROL B. CHOYESfrlMntUml o/Sthoolt

Scotch FUiuFmirocJ School Obttkl

How many of you who graduated fromhigh school 20 or more years ago sharemy recollection of business courses — asequence beginning with typing, maybesome business law or math, bookkeepingand stenography? Classes were generallygeared toward students headed directlyinto work places as secretaries, clerks andoffice assistants. How limes havechanged!

I had occasion recently to visit thebusiness classes of Miss Frances DeSalvoat Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School.We talked about the kinds of experiencesher students need today.

Traditional business programs havebeen rendered almost obsolete, she noted,by the rapid expansion of computer tech-nology in today's offices.

"Employees care less about words perminute these days than they do aboutwhat computer languages and programsyou know," she said.

It seems clear from seeing her classesin action the district's business depart-ment has responded positively to changesin the modern workplace. The depart-ment is proud of its recently installedcomputer hardware and in the Informa-tion Processing and Accounting classes.

Miss DeSalvo's students learn the ins-and-outs of Microsoft's "Office" soft-ware package. Student activities go be-yond traditional and clerical practicesand si mulate the newer role of "adminis-trative assistant." On the day of my visit,students were preparing business letterusing the "Word" word processing pro-

a gram, Hex accounting classes.are ajsofully computerized.

According to Miss DeSalvo, the de-partment works very hard to keep up with

the current trends in the business worldand to introduce students to the full rangeof career possibilities.

"Students come lo us havingkeyboard-ing skills, many are already computer-literate, most are college bound. They'llbe managers, administrators, accountantsand entrepreneurs. Traditional businessprograms just aren't enough any more,"she said.

In addition to their regular classroomwork, students also have several opportu-nities during the year to sample the worldof work. Miss DeSalvo's Future Busi-ness Leaders of American and the highschool's Black Student Union jointlysponsor a Career Selection Workshopwhere over twenty invited representa-tives of local businesses and organiza-tions, including some parents, share whatthey do on the job.

Students arc currently planning a dayon-site at Chubb & Son, Inc. where they' IIsee computer laboratories, the "catastro-phe" department and accounting depart-ment in action, all a part of their annualPartnership in Business project.

Later in December, pairs of studentswill spend time with volunteer local Ro-tary members in a "job shadowing" expe-rience. These opportunities give studentsvaluable insights about the skills they'llneed in business and have the added ben-efit of letting the community see whatstudents are learning.

In many ways the experience of ourbusiness department is a model of whateducation is all about these days. Stu-dents must gain a sense of real-worlddemands,develop real-world employableskills and develop the ability to respondand adapt to change.

POPCORN

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein:A Matter of Life and Death

By Michael Goldberger

V D n e Popcorn, Poor • Two Popcorns, Fair 'Three Popcorns, Good • Four Popcorns, Excellent^

3 Popcorns

One scene in particular is a bitmuch.

Both horrifying and shocking, it isjust simply terrible, that specific bitof celluloid — you'll know it whenyou see it. The rest of director Ken-neth Branagh's rendition of the MaryShelley classic is, in varying degrees,an artistically agreeable derivation.

It's obvious to all those concernedthat a certain amount of satirizationmust compromise any serious treat-ment of this subject; and for the samereasons, one must adopt a glib yetconvincing resolve about the project.The original, 1931 offering com-mands a special respect, and all thosedoing homage to its memory are com-pelled to salute it. How one goesabout this peculiar show of reverenceis where the art lies, and is the stan-dard by which each successive pil-grimage is judged.

In this light, writer, director andactor Branagh is a leg up on thecompetition. He is a man ofShakespearean temper and has a pro-found understanding of what it reallymeans to go for Baroque in his film-making.

The shamelessly brilliant Mr.Branagh — part scholar, part huck-ster — conjures a method form ofdirection, wherein he is the mad sci-entist not only in frontof the lens, butbehind it as well.

That is, he is to Dr. Frankenstein ashis movie is to the monster.

Is the monster good, or merely thehorrific result of technological folly?Is the film convoluted, or necessarilyloaded with beaucoup de filigree, asbefits a parable about such monu-mental a topic as the secrets of lifeand death? Pick 'em.

Branagh's effort is only goodenough to be acclaimed a suitablerepresentative of its genre. After that,it depends whether or not this sort offare is your meat.

Beware, there's gristle aplenty —not as much gratuitous as it is chal-lenging: Contending with our emo-tional tolerance, standards of goodtaste and sense of propriety.

Yet, unlike, say, shock-jockHoward Stern's ugly-for-ugly's-sakestyle of pessimistic abashment,Branagh wants to see you through tothe beauty behind the beast which,after all, is the traditionally acceptedand optimistic message of Mrs.'

Shelley's ingeniousetude—the vari-ous shades between death and manu-factured immortality. Mind you, thisall happens way before our currentD. N. A. dilemmas posited theirtroublesome questions.

The set decorations in MaryShelley's Frankenstein are to die for— wonderfully absurd yet closeenough in historical accuracy to main-tain a modicum of 18th century se-verity. The town of Ingolstadt, whereVictor Frankenstein studies medicine,is sobering in its dire reality; the gooddoc's lab is simply outrageous.

Robert De Niro is wonderful as theMonster. Agreeing to do the role is initself a refreshing inspiration and, byproviding the film with such an awe-somely created, perplexing being, aneffective wistfulness is allowed tosurvive amidst the barrage of violentdoings.

Branagh loves theatrics, and heconcocts as much of it as the trafficwill bear, only deferring to under-statement when the rules of goodfilmmaking demand balance.

Aforementioned, that one abso-lutely indelible sceneofterroris whenmovie auteurBranagh tests the viewerand, oddly enough, the only placewhere the movie excels entirely. It isduring those very frenetic momentsof wild speculation and daring thatthe taboo soul of Shelley's book ispowerfully identified.

Indeed, the sheer magnitude of theportrayed insanity is, for atime, over-whelming.

Otherwise, the motion picture is atad disjointed, a mite self-conscious,and even mildly primitive in thethrow-away scenes between the peaksof high-relief excitement.

For the most part an inseparablecommodity, Branagh as Dr. Franken-stein is part and parcel of the directo-rial vision; Helena Bonham Carter asthe iovc interest, Elizabeth, is ca-pable and hauntingly attractive; andTom Hulce as Victor Frankenstein'sless ambitious doctor friend is solid.

Again, just before that nightmarishsequence I have twice before alludedto, dear reader. Dr. Frankenstein isordered by the Monster to build thelatter a bride. He agrees, then demures,and then through a runaway series ofevents is forced to action, uninten-tionally fashioning a femme fatale of
