An independent task force comprised of municipal and county officials was recently established with the goal of resolving the controversy over the upper portion of the project. Members of the governing body watched a seven-minute video presented by Flood Control Commission Treasurer Frank Meeks, 3rd, of Plainfield and Theodore J. Bassman, Jr., one of Scotch Plains' representatives to the Green Brook Task Force. The video, produced by the Army Corps of Engineers, outlined the history of flood problems in the Green Brook sub-basin and gave an overview of h o w the proposed project would control flooding in both the Upper and Lower Por- The Fanwood Borough Council last Thursday appointed Susan MacMullen as the borough's new Municipal Judge. She will complete the unexpired term of former Judge Jacqueline Drakeford, who resigned to accept a position as Assistant Union County Counsel. Judge MacMullen's term expires December 31, 1998. Members of the governing body were split 3-3 along party lines concerning Judge MacMullen's appointment, with Democrats Bruce H. Walsh, Karen M. Schurtz and William R. Populus, Jr., voting in favor of the new magistrate and Republicans Louis C. Jung.Dr.ChesterR. Lindsey and Stuart S. Kline voting in opposition. Mayor Maryanne S. Connelly, a Democrat, cast the lie-breaking vote in support of the appointment, which was effective immediately. The judge is a graduate of the Scion Hall University School of Law. She has served as a Judicial Clerk and as Assistant Prosecutor with the Union County Prosecutor's Office for nine years. During her tenure with the Prosecutor's Office, she worked in Ihe Violent Crimes, Trial Unit, Juvenile and Family Court, and Appellate Division. She is married to Union County Manager Michael J. Lapolla. The couple have an cight-month-old son. After last week'smccting. Councilman .lung told The runes that while he had no reservations about Judge MacMullen's professional qualifications, he felt the council should have selected someone who lives closer to Fanwood. I Ier resume givesan Flizabeth address, but she and her family will be moving lo Westfield, according to the Mayor. Similar sentiments were expressed during the meeting by Joel Whitaker, one of two Republican candidates for Borough Council this year, who also voiced concern over whether someone coming directly from the Prosecutor's Office would be able to bring a "balanced approach" to a municipal court setting, where there is no jury deciding cases. The Mayor, whodescribed (lie judge as being "extremely well-qualified." said that of the three applicants who were interviewed for the position, Judge MacMullen was the only one who was able to serve Fanwood exclusively. Mayor Connelly explained that this would give die judge Uie "flexibility" to work with (he Fanwood Police Department and others involved in the local judicial process. Under other business, the governing body adopted a resolution approving special traffic regulations for the south side of Madison Avenue, between Hunter and Marline Avenues. The regulations, which affect the area near Hlementary School One on Willow Avenue, prohibits parking, stopping or standing between the hours of 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. and again between 2:30 and 3:30 p.m. junction with tiiis, the council readopted a resolution supporting funding for the vehicle, which had been approved last month. The vehicle will allow firefighters to transport all their necessary gear to the scene of an emergency in a single trip. Also adopted on second reading was an ordinance to amend the borough's property maintenance code. The measure, which gives the council authority to have immediate action taken in the event of an emergency, was prompted by a recent incident in which a large tree was uprooted and toppled across a local street. Officials approved a resolution awarding a bid of $2,000 to Nancy I.. Zcrbe of Historic Preservation Consulting, Inc., for a preliminary historic assessment of the area surrounding the Fanwood train station, to determine whether it is eligible to be designated as a historic district. During her report as Chairwoman of the council's Building and Zoning Committee, Councilwoman Schurtz reported that revisions to the borough's Zoning Ordinance are "90 lo 95 percent" complete. Charles II. Brandt, the attorney for the Fanwood Board of Adjustment, is expected to review ihe updated ordinance for members of the Fanwood Planning Board at its Wednesday, September 24, meeting. Councilwoman Schurtz also discussed the pending arrival of benches and banners for the borough's downtown, which represent the first phase of an effort to reinvigorate the community's businessdistricl. These enhancements are expected tube followed by additional trees and planters for the area. The Fanwood Downtown Revitali/ation Committee (FDRC) is still discussing how these planters would be maintained, according to die councilwoman. IZarlicr in the evening, Robert Soinmerich, President of the Fanwood-Scotch Plains Recycling Association, presented a check for $3,550 to FDRC Chairman Jack Molenaar toward the purchase ol the benches, which officials noted will be constructed from recyclable materials. lite Mayor also made a presentation of $25,000 to the Fanwood Volunteer Rescue Squad lo help will) llic purchase of a new ambulance, which the squad hopes lo have in lime for its 50ih anniversary celebration next year. Officials renewed their discussion of a proposal to merge the Fanwood Planning Board and the Fanwood Board of Adjustment. Hie concept would require a council resolution, which would subsequently be decided by a public referendum. Borough Attorney Dennis Fstis informed the board that the deadline for putting the proposed merger on (he ballot for this November had already passed, and added (lie earliest they could begin the process would be in January. The proposed merging of the two boards would not go before voters, however, until November of next year, Mr. Fstis confirmed. tions. During a subsequent discussion of the issue. Mr. Meeks recommended the township and the City of Plainfield strongly emphasize to county officials the need for the project to remedy flood problems in the region. Councilman Martin Marks recommended that officials also pursue further dialogue with Berkeley Heights regarding that community's opposition to the proposed detention basins. He advised telling Berkeley Heights officials that "we need your participation. We're willing to listen to your alternatives as long as they'll help us. If you don't participate you're really leaving your neighbors in the lurch." Under other business.

According to their report, the Middle States Characteristics of Excellence state: "A basic characteristic of excellence in an educational institution is the clear expression and active pursuit of its mission and goals in relation to its students, its staff, its supporters, and the community-atlarge." Against this measure, the evaluation team found that "Clearly, Union County College meets this standard." On the occasion of an accreditation review, Middle States frequently conditions its approval upon additional remedial action and improvement by a college which is then subject to further study and review by the evaluators. In the case of Union County College, however, they required no follow-up, according to a spokeswoman for the college. The next review is scheduled for June 1, 2002.

Thursday, September 18, 1997 Page 3 County Officials toPursue Funds for Lake Restoration Union County Freeholder Vice Chairman Daniel P. Sullivan announced recently that Union County would aggressively seek state funding for lake restoration projects in Union County. According to Mr. Sullivan, New Jersey has allocated $5 million for funding under the Dredging and Bond Act of 1996. The potential for Union County to seek funding for dredging sediments out of our lakes as part of the restoration is especially attractive," he said. Mr. Sullivan noted that under a Department of Environmental Protection funding plan, the point allocation funding plan would favor public facilities in a large county such as Union. "It is clear thai restoration of certain parks where sediments build is important. The improvement of the, recreational aspects of the lakes is an ideal way to enhance property values," he said. Mr. Sullivan noted that funding would be available for the two upcoming fiscal years in New Jersey. He added, "The DLiP proposal in July had an early August deadline for public comment. It appears lobe on a fast track." The Freeholder Vice Chairman staled, "The remarkable transformation from dredge sediments to construction fill and capping has worked successfully in terms of the ocean dredge projects. It appears that the same use of sediment from the dredged lakes can become beneficial fill for use on brownfields remediation. We have the opportunity for a virtual win-win situation in Union County." Among the sites identified for possible lake restoration work are upper and lower sections of Echo Lake in Mountainside; Nomahegan Lake in Cranford; Warinanco Park in Elizabeth; Rahway River Park in Rahway and Meisel Pond in Springfield. attempting to get Ogden-Martin to of Community Affairs. reduce its operating fee in order to Freeholder Kurz thanked Margaciting her recent move to make the incinerator more comSomerset County, the Democratic petitive when waste How controls ret C.

Results the Same For Paul A. Battiloro, Susan MacMullen Last week, through the actions of the WestJield and Fanwood governing bodies, two new ^officials have either joined or moved up in the lanks. p The Westfield Town Council approved the appointment of Paul A. Battiloro. Jr., as its new J ire Chief on September 9. He replaces Walter Ridge, who retired at the end of June after meeting the state's mandatory retirement age. Two nights later the Fanwood Borough Council named Susan MacMullen as its Municipal Judge, replacing Jacqueline Drakeford. I While the appointment of Chief Battiloro was unanimously approved in a 9-0 tally. Judge MacMullen was voted in by a count of 4-3, as the three Republicans on the council voted against her appointment. A resident of Elizabeth, Ms. MacMullen and her husband, Union County Manager Michael J. Lapolla, are planning to move to Westfield. : Judge MacMullen was most recently an Assistant Prosecutor in the Union County Prosecutor's Office. Mr. Lapolla was First Assistant Prosecutor in the same office until his appointment as County Manager, replacing Ann M. Baran. Both served under the late Prosecutor, Andrew K. ;Ruotolo of Westfield, who was appointed by ! former Governor James J. Florio. While Ms. MacMullen has left the prosecutor's office. Ms. Drakeford has joined that same loffice which is now headed by Thomas V. Manahan of Westfield, an appointee of Governor Christine Todd Whitman. : Among the concerns expressed by Fanwood f Republicans were the fact that she had not been a resident of the immediate area and that because she was coining directly from the Prosecutor's Office, Ms. MacMullen might not be objective as a judge since her background involved prosecuting violent criminals in the trial division of the prosecutor's office. She also worked in the juvenile and family court area. The circumstances surrounding Mr. Battiloro's appointment are much different. The council had been expected to take action on August 6. A Westfield Board of Education candidate in 1995, he has taken over a department which includes a paid staff of about 35 and a volunteer company of some 20 men. We expect Mr. Battiloro will be a strong leader with the department. With 22 years under his belt as Deputy Chief, he has served as Fire Protection Officer since 1973 and has been an officer since 1972, when he was named Lieutenant. He moved up to Captain in 1973. He is the licensed Fire Sub-Code Official for Westfield and has served as Fire Official and Inspector since 1988, and as Director of Emergency Management since 1978. The Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders appointed him to the county's Construction Board of Appeals in 1987, a position he still held at the time of his appointment as Chief. We congratulate both appointees and wish them well in their new roles, and ask that, in the case of Judge MacMullen, that the full Fanwood Council give her every opportunity to prove herself to be fair and impartial on the bench. Letters to the Editor More Articles Needed on Accidents To Raise Town Residents'Awareness would like to thank The Westfield leader for its prominent coverage of the recent traffic accident at the corner of East llroad Street andCentral Avenue. As your article mentioned, this is a very dangerous intersection, having been the siteof several accidents during the past year alone. '. Fortunately, the injuries resulting from these accidents havebeen fairly minor, but 1 feel that it is only a matter of time before aiserious accident results. ; Many Westfield residents are unaware that there are hundreds of car accidents in our town every year, because there is little or no coverage of them in the local newspapers. I urge you to continue to feature coverage of local traffic accidents in order to raise residents' awareness of this dangerous situation.

DeirdreCelinne WcslfteW United Effort is Vital In Campaign to Get Direct Train Service I'd love to shorten my commute to Manhattan, so I listened with interest toPatPlame'scommentsaboutdirect train service at the Fanwood Borough Council meeting on September 11. I'm glad to know that there is interest in Fanwood in direct train service to New York. Mayor Jardim in Westfieldhas been active in trying to get direct service and I think the other towns along the Ran tan Valley Line should lend their support to this effort. Our combined voices will get New Jersey Transit's attention when they consider extending direct train service to more towns But without a united effort now along the Raritan Valley Line, we may miss the opportunity to get direct train service to Manhattan in the future.

It's the good badguys versus the bad bad guys. Set this pungent dramaturgy to music and you'd have all thefixingsfor opera. There's even a fat lady, but sadly, the thugs can't make her sing. Leave it to the high finance '90s to produce a drama that makes an economic case for organized crime. The example in point is Harlem during the Depression. Money just isn't moving. But thanks to numbers mogul Madame Queen (Cicely Tyson), the greenback is now making the rounds. Problem is, mobster Dutch Schultz isn't content to watch Harlem's homegrownracketeludehisgrubby bands. And as played by Tim Roth, the despicable hit man/fop in/toft Aoy, hateful Dutch is about as grubby as they come. Luckily forQueen, her knightin shining armor is sprung from the pokey just as carnivorous Dutch is sharpening his cutlery for a feeding frenzy. Riding to the rescue is Ellsworth "Bumpy" Johnson, the movie's black answertoGaiahad.Laurence Fishbume, perhaps pilfering a role from Denzel Washington, applies his demonstmblydangerousedgeand etches the antihero with boldly incisive strokes. Provocative, absorbing and an eyeful, Hoodlum is nonetheless one huge moral ambiguity. In fact, practically everyone but the aforementioned fat lady is a thief, and gosh, she's an adulteress in her own right. Yet grandly and audaciously, director Bill Duke claims dispensation for entertainmentand sociology'ssake, tacitly informing that the guilty thrills can be rationalized as long as the lesser of the movie's two evils triumphs. And let's not even get into the concept of numbers running as an economic panacea. Shades of double-talk prior to the legalization of gambling in Atlantic City. Once those moral dilemmas are addressed, there remains plenty to sink your teeth into. Takeoutthefree-for-allcussing and this shoot 'em up with soul is Saturday-at-the-matineeexcitement Mr. Duke's tapestry is thick with detail, his atmospheres ripe with cultural exploration. Though the historical liberties taken are wide open to skepticism, the heartfelt sociology is inviting. Weaving this engaging fabric is an allstar assemblage of black actors, and a few white ones tossed in for good measure. Playing devoted Sancho Panza to Fishbume's Quixote (yes, he quotes poetry to Vanessa Williams as demure love interest Francine) is Chi McBride in a nomination-worthy stint as main man Illinois. Helping frame theracialargument for grass roots control of Harlem's lucrative cottage industry is the splendidly antagonistic characterof Bub, bodyguard/hit man for crazy Dutch played by the resurgent Clarence Williams, 3rd (Line on "Mod Squad"). And Andy Garcia, outfitted with one uncomfortably smaller eye, is slyly effervescent as the cunning Lucky Luciano. The film's boisterous fiction contends that a deadly game of brinkmanship ensued among Johnson, Schultzand Luciano. It is further proffered that while loose cannon Schultz increasingly became a liability, the more cerebral Johnson and Machiavellian Luciano came to understand the economic realities of organized crime's future. Hooked up with this unholy alUanceinanear-blasphemous indictment is Thomas Dewey (nice to see William Atherton back on the boards), special prosecutor, future governor of New York and Presidential candidate. As this script has it, the Republican loser in '48 was on the take in '34. Without adding con volution to the doings, and tied into Fishbume's chess- Gardenaires Reveal Speaker For First Meeting of Season Peter Bacinski will be the featured speaker at the Gardenaires' first meeting of the season, to be held at the Scotch Hills Country Club on Jerusalem Road in Scotch Plains.

Franks Raising children is a difficult, sometimes daunting challenge. Parents today are working long hours and making great sacrifices so that their children will have a brighter future. I believe that the federal government mustdo more to help parents. With the signing of the Balanced Budget Act and the Taxpayer Relief Act — two landmark laws that I helped push through Congress — most New Jersey families will be able to take advantage of important new tax savings that will help themmeet the high cost of raising children. For the first time in 16 years, hardworking families will be able to keep more of what they earn. The Taxpayer Relief Actprovides$94 billion in tax relief over the next five years. It contains tax breaks to help parents raise their children, send themtocollegeand buyahome. Italso offers incentives to begin planning for retirement. The tax relief in the new law includes: • An automatic tax credit of $400 per child for most families starting with the 1998 tax return That means parents will pay $400 less in taxes for every child. • Taxcreditsandtax-freesavings plans to help pay for college tuition. • Tax-free withdrawals from IRAs to purchase a first home and, for most famines, no tax on the profits from the sale of their existing home. • A reduction in the Capital Gains tax rate for assets sold after May 7 of this year. Tax breaks are not the only benefit families can expect. ... ., With the signing of the Balanced Budget Act, we are one important step closer to keeping the American Dream alive for our children. NolongerwillWashingtonkeep piling up debts for our children to pay. The Balanced Budget Act lays out a detailed plan to stop reckless deficit spending over the next five years. Since I entered Congress, we have reduced the deficit from$200bUlk>nin 1993to$40 billion (his year. By implementing thisnew agreement with the President, we will finish the job. That means Washington will be forced to live within its means for the fust time since Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. Not only will our children reap the rewards of ending three decades of deficit spending, families will see some immediate benefits as well. A balanced budget will drive down interest rates, making it more affordable for them to finance a home or new car. A balanced budgot combined with tax cuts are the twin engines that can makeour economy stronger while creating new job opportunities for the 21st century. Finally, there is some important news for anyone who is retired and relies on Medicare. Medicare has been saved from bankruptcy for the next 10 years. We have taken prudent steps to ensure that Medicare can continuetopay the doctor and hospital bills of our seniors. Not only is Medicare restored to sound financial health, new services are being provided to cover such life-saving procedures as annual mammogramsand screeningsforcolorectal and prostate cancer. Seniors can continue to havethe right tocboosetheirown doctor and hospital. . ; The Balanced Budget Act and Taxpayer Relief Actmark anew beginning in Washingtpnandahard-foiight victory for Amjgji: can families. • '1%If you are interested in finding outmt>i$ about the tax breaks and other provisions that may help you and your family, please contact my district office located at 2^32 Morris Avenue, Suite B-8, Union, 07083- New Bestsellers Reflect Weighty Subject Matter By Louis H. Clark The way bestsellers are being published today, I am going to need a forklif t soon to get one up from the floor to within reading distance. Here, lam reading Tom Clancy's "Debt of Honor" and it's already over 1,000 pages of heavy paper. My wife was reading another book that is no longer called "a woman's book," but really is, and it's a mere 8 0 0 pages. S o it looks as though women authors of best sellers have some time to go before they catch up to their male counterparts. I can think of only three reasons why Mr. Clancy's book — excellent as it i s — can reach suchalongnumberof pages. The publishers areeitber denied therightto edit bis books or, if you're going to charge 30 or 35 bucks for a book, your reasoning must be that you have to provide a large number of pages and heavy papertomake the reader feel he's getting his money's! worth, or else the publishers think the bookwill make a wonderful doorstop after' you've finished reading it. The Victorians used to do it, too, but either their binderies couldn't handle a large book or they cannily felt that if you made five volumes of 13S pages each, it made a lot more money. The Victorians usedtowrite their fivevolume masterpieces by filling them with naturedetails. Dickens was the only exception, and he became themost popularof all Victorian writers. Even Trollope couldn' t bear not giving you the details of every cburch he passed. And he passed a lot of churches.

According to Advent Clinical Director, Dr. Roy Vogel, a resident of Scotch Plains, "Pastors today are under greater pressure than ever before.

The seminar will feature presentations from five professional clinicians and clergy. Among them will be Dr. Norman Walter of Scotch Plains, who will bring his years of experience as a Baptist minister and therapist to bear as he focuses on the pain and pressures of ministry. Dr. Vogel will utilize his clinical experience as a psychologist to address the need for affirmation and perspective in ministry. Worship leaders for the event wi|l be William and Graceline Aberdeen,, residents of Scotch Plains and natives of the island of Trinidad. They. are Ministers of Music at the Jesus, Restoration Ministry in Plainfield., In addition to Dr. Vogel and pr. Walter, Troy Chisolm o f Advent' Management Services, and Dr. James,Brix, therapist and coordinator of this event, are also from Scotclu Plains. All area pastors are invited to at; tend.

This is-the third consecutive year that parishioners participated in the Appalachia Service Project, where they learned and practiced skills working on buildings and relationships with the families, as well as having fun doing it. The group of 12 adults and 26 young people, mostly high school students but with some collegians, were divided into five smaller work crews, each assigned a specific job. The work schedules included building new and repairing old porches and decks, pouring footings for house additions and decks, digging a ditch for a sewer line and local plumbing, roofing houses, painting the outside of houses, repairing a kitchen floor and laying linoleum. Throughout the week of very hard work, the crews also were responsible for meals, and daily rcflectionson the service they were giving were scheduled. Helping the eight families this year was a very meaningful experience to many of the young people and is a jump start on the service work encouraged and in some cases required by colleges, according to a spokeswoman. Financial support for the Appalacliin Service l^roject came from gencr<.us individuals, the annual car wash supported by the parishioners and friends and new this year, a Walk-AThon around Tamaques Park, where members of this project secured pledges for walking miles. The work crews and their distinctive names included: Crayola Construction, with Christine Bonavita, Dan Flynn, Mike Gewirtz, Laura Krasnor, Corinne Liebrich, Jessica Lutkenhouse and Cuff Spitser. Father Peter O'Brien led the A-Team, with Matt Brothcrton, Marta Capasso, Greg Freisen, Suzy Kozub, Kelly Langton, Brian Spitser and former St. Helen's Youth Minister, Artie Flinn. The Woodbulchers included Megan Brotherton, JohnGillcn, John Lutkenhouse, (Catherine Reynolds, Katie Riley, John Ruvolo, Eric Schocnberg, and Kate Wyatt. Dave Brotherton, Becky Hamilton, Phil Orsini, Bob Rasmussen, Man Roig and Lisa Villalobos made up The Sawbucks, and Al's Ratty Bunch was led by Al Roig with Kevin Dougherty, Alissa Jansen, Phil Knecht, Sarah Lcchner, Mike Powell and Colleen Ryan. Susan Oldroyd, the new Youth Minister at St. Helen's, served as a floater among the groups. Even though this was her first trip with an Appalachia Service Project, she has been involved with similar service to Indian reservations in the Southwest. She hopes to continue the Appalachia Service Project, expand and add to current programs, and has already added a monthly work project with Habitat for Humanity in Plainfield. This project will give to youth who were unable to travel to West Virginia during the summer an opportunity to help in local projects with the same involvement and enthusiasm. *GREETINGS FROM m GERMANY...Students from Westfield High School recently traveled to Darmstadt, Germany, as part of a three-week "School-to-. School Exchange" program sponsored by the Foreign Languages Department, They attended classes at a college preparatory school there while staying with local families. During the spring, students from Germany also stayed in Westfield and attended classes at the high school. Westfield Students Spend. Three Weeks in Germany Seven Westfield High School students and their German teacher recently completed a successful threeweek, school-to-school exchange program in Germany during the summer. Westfielders Elizabeth Eyring, Jason Krieger, Jonathan Larsen, Lee McDermott, Jennifer Oslislo, Christopher Owens and Kristen Steinbrecher, along with their German teacher, "Frau" Marianne Torre, traveled to Darmstadt, Germany for the exchange program. During their time abroad, students attended classes daily at the Edith Stein Gymansium, a college preparatory school, and lived with the families of their host students. This past spring, German students from the Stein School lived with their host families in Westfield while attending classes at the high school. The summer trip to Germany is part of Westfield High School's "School-to-School Exchange" program, which is sponsored by the Foreign Languages Department. Other reciprocal exchanges involve Westfield High School students euch vear in educational and cultural c\- periences in France, Italy and Spain. In addition to attending classes at' Westfield High School's host school in Germany, the seven Westfield students participated in trips with their host families and as a group to many sites of educational and cultural interest, including an excursion to the medieval town of Rothenburg, a boat ride on the Rhine River and an exhibit of contemporary European painting in Kassel, Germany. Reflecting on the success of this trip, Mrs. Torre said she found the students to be extremely interested in absorbing the culture and speaking the language. "The students in their travels," Mrs. Torre indicated, "found ways to apply the language skills they have learned in the classroom to real-life situations." Perhaps the value of such educational and cultural exchange programs can be best summed by one of Mrs. Torre's students, whoexclaimed to her while in Germany, "Frau! I'm speaking German!"

The Devils have many up-and-coming newcomers eager to run with the 'pack.' Senior Amelia Hanley, juniors Tamika Waye, Katie Gildea, Elizabeth Winberry and Erin Spafford, sophomores Natalie Orsini, Claire Cambria, Tanya Iran and Stefanie Bistak and freshmen Rachel Ackerman, Kyle Legones and Alexis Anzelone. Coach Hornish indicated, "The Blue Devil girls' goals are to improve upon the 1996 team's achievements by replicating and perhaps surpassing the 1995 team's accomplishments. Another major goal is to win the State Sectionals Meet Championship which was lost to Randolph by a margin of two points (42-44)." "An additional goal is to be among the top three in Group 4 which, in turn, earns us the opportunity to compete in the Meet of Champions. It also is a team goal to defend our Union County and Watchung Conference titles and to be among the top three teams at the season's major invitational meets," he explained. Coach Hornish considers Scotch Plains-Fanwood, Irvington, Newark East Side and Kearny to be the Devils' major competition in the Conference and County and Randolph, Columbia of Maple wood, Middletown South, Hunterdon Central, Ridge wood and Toms River East to be formidable in the Sectionals and Group competition.

PUBUCATION Jazz Booters Put Lights Out On Edison Dynamite,1-0 READY TO ROLL...Union County Freeholder Nicholas P. Scutari, right, recently got a first-hand look at the duties or the weigh teams of the Union County Police Traffic Information Unit. Pictured with him are Sergeant Rich Puschel, left, and Lieutenant Jeff Foulks. The Scotch Plains-Panwood Jazz girls under-10 inter-city soccer team ventured to Thomas Edison Park this past Sunday where they turned off the lights on the Edison Dynamite with an exciting 1-0 victory. The game was a defensive gem highlighted with several sparkling saves by Jazz goalie Lauren Mains. Midway through the first half the Jazz took advantage of a big mistake by Edison. Jessica McGarry took a shot from far out on the right side and the Edison goalie moved up to make the save. But then the goalie wandered beyond the 18 yard line to punt the ball and was called for a penalty. Maddie Wasser made a monster of a penalty kick and shot the ball into the top left hand comer of the goal giving the Jazz a 1-0 lead. For most of the second half the Jazz defense were led by the fine play of Katie Van llaasteren and Lauren Hercel kept Edison away from the Jazz goal. But late in the second half the Dynamite ignited a dangerous attack. Shannon Hausermadeatumbling save on a close-in Dynamite blast, but she couldn't control die rebound and the ball dribbled right out in front of the Jazz goal. Just as a Dynamite player was about to knock in the game-tying goal, Hallic Mintz came from out of nowhere to clear the ball to the sideline and preserve the victory for the Jazz. The Jazz are now 4-1 for the fall season. SIS Freeholder Rides 'Shotgun' With County Weigh Team Union County Freeholder Nicholas P. Scutari recently rode "shotgun" with one of the Weigh Teams of the Union County Police Traffic Enforcement Unit in their new Chevrolet Suburban 4 by 4, which is equipped with portable scales to weigh trucks that traverse the county's roads, and making sure safety regulations are followed. The portable scales are necessary because truckers can avoid permanent weigh stations by using their citizens band radios to inform one another of the locations. "I thought it would be informative and interesting, seeing what our County Police Traffic Information Unit does in an average day," said Freeholder Scutari. "They keep an eye on our county roads and bridges, plus perform regular traffic enforcement and investigation of truck accidents when called by municipal law enforcement," he added. The County Police have three trucks with mobile scales to patrol the approximately 160 miles of county roads and more than 400 bridges, whichinclude 280 with spans of five to 20 feet, and 130 with 20foot spans or longer. With the portable scales, the team can weigh different sections of the truck. They can test all safety components of a vehicle, including the brakes, suspension, springs, steering and airlines. They also check for safety and moving violations, and height and weight regulations, which require special permits. The vehicles are also equipped with a Mobil Data Terminal, a computer that can check motor vehicle lists, wanted lists, and serial numbers. In addition, the trucks have the Hi-Lc Life Saver I ight system .which moves up and down and has arrow lights to direct traffic. Most of the money collected from summonses handed out for violations goes to the county forroad and bridge improvement.
