During its final regular meeting of
the year last Thursday, the Fanwood
Borough Council adopted on second
reading an ordinance permitting the
Planning Board to assume theduties
of the Board of Adjustment. The
latter board meets for the last time
tonight, Thursday, December 18,

Following months of discussion,
the governing body introduced its
ordinance, which amends the Borough Code, on November 13. Officials maintain that merging the two
boards will compensate for a decline
in volunteers and appeals, while also

the Borfugh of Fanwood to hook up
with the township in its plans to

to simultaneously automate the
Fanwood Memorial Library.
The agreement between the municipalities could reduce the cost of
the $180,000 project for Scotch
Plains by $10,000 to $20,000, according to officials. The total cost to
Fanwood is an estimated $80,000.

Fanwood's new Library Director,

working together on the automation

Scotch Plains alone will add 18

COMMISSION TO ADDRESS CONCERNS OF COMMUTERS
WestfieId Raritan Group Gains
Support of County Freeholders
By PAUL J. PEYTON
Specially Writttn for The Westfield Leader and The Times
' The Union County Board of Chosen
Freeholders officially recognized the effortsoftheWestfield Raritan Valley Line
CommuterCommission (WRVLCC) last
Thursday and asked that the group move
into a lead role in promoting the interests
of Union County commuters on the NJ
Tjansittrainline.
The commission, created earlier this
year by Westfield Mayor Thomas C.
Jardim, released a detai led report in October regarding concerns ofWestfieldriders
on the system including the inconvenience of having to pass through Penn
Station in Newark, which they cited as
confusing and inefficient. The group's
ultimate goal is direct service to midtown
Manhattan.
While Democrats on the board pushed
for passage of the resolution, Republicans wanted to try to avoid forming splinter groups. They said one group with a
wider representation for the four counties
on the line would be more effective, such
as that recently created by Congressmen
serving communities along the Raritan
Valley Line.
- Republican Freeholder Frank H.Lehr,
while supporting the efforts of the Westfield commission, failed in an attempt to
have the resolution delayed until afterthe
Raritan Valley RailCoalitionmeetingthe
following day, December 12.
That coalition was created by Congressmen Bob Franks, Michael Pappas
and Rodney Frelinghuysen.
Freeholder Lehr said he believed the
coalition could offer a "broader conglomerate" which could have more of an impact
than that of a group from Westfield, which
has the largest ridership on the line.
Democratic FreeholderChairwoman
Lindad.Stendersaid she believes with the
passage of the resolution, which was
sponsored by Democratic Freeholder
Caroll. Cohen ofWestfield, the county is
sendingamessage that the Westfieldcommission would be in a lead role in representing the interests of Union County
riders on the line.
According to the resolution, 5,400 commuters from Union County ride daily on
theRaritanLine.
Freeholder Stender referred to the resolution as a "good first step" for Union
County in gaining improvements on the
line.
Working through the office of County
ManagerMichaelJ. Lapolla, the Westfield
and Plainfield volunteer commissions
would be the lead agencies for the county
in creating a separate Raritan Valley group.
Republican Freeholder Edwin H. Force
saidhe was concerned that each of the other
four counties on the line will form their
own committees "with their own agenda
instead ofworkingoff of one (agenda)."
He said this, in effect, "fragments" the
coalition put together by the three Congress members.
"If we divide ourselves, we'll end up
self-destructing," he said. "I think the key
is that we have the Congressional delegation on board to get this funding (for
supporting the goals of a multi-municipality coalition)."
Via: Chairman DanielP.Sullivan,aDcrnocrat, noting that Westfieldhas 1,500riders
on the line each day, said he anticipates the
WRVLCC will work along with the Congressional coalition.
DemocraticFreeholderDonaldGoncalves
said he feels the issue is more of "giving
power back to the people.
"Here is a group of people who decided
to unite and move ahead on developing
access to Raritan Valley. I say we should
support it," he told the board.
Freeholder Stender noted that the county
can still participate in the Congressional
coalition.
Republican Freeholder Henry W. Kurz
said the board could pass another resolution tonight, Thursday, December 18, to
includeadditional information it has learned
from last Friday's coalition meeting.
In other business, the board approved a
resolution to oppose the 260-degree flight
path as put into place by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The Freeholders have asked that the current 220-degree
heading be preserved as part of instrument
readings for departing airplanesfromNewark International Airport.
Representatives of the New Jersey
Coalition Against Aircraft Noise have said
the 260-turn puts air traffic directly over
populated areas of Union County. They

Mr. Les Jacobsen, Dir.
have said the 220 turn places air traffic
over the Arthur Kill waterway and commercial areas of the Portsof Elizabeth and
Newark.
The resolution was sponsored by Freeholder Stender, a former Mayor and Councilwoman in Fanwood, one of the towns
which has witnessed an increase in noise
from airplanes.
The board also supported the efforts of
the Port Authority of New York and New
Jersey in its request that the FAA approve
the use of a passenger facility surcharge to
financealightraillink to improve service
from John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens to Manhattan.
The resolution notes that a "regional
approach to transportation and issues
will help fostera greater spiritof cooperation between government entities and
should help develop support from those
outside the County ofUnion for transportation improvements from Newark Airport directly to Union County."
Duringthepublicportionofthemeeting,
Bob Carson, representing the Concerned
Citizens of Union County, a group opposed to the county's incinerator in
Rahway, inquired about a resolution regarding me acceptance of solid waste at the
facility.
In order to improve capacity at the
county burner under the free market system, theboard in its resolution authorized
that the Union County Utilities Authority could begin entering into agreements
with non-Union County communities for
disposal at the county burner. The rate
will be $50 per ton, the same as that
offered to the 21 municipalities in the
county.
Mr. Carson asked that the county and
theUCUAconsider several alternatives to
the proposed 25-year lease between the
UCUA and Ogden Martin Systems, the
builder of the incinerator.
The alternatives include looking into
the feasibility of defaulting on the remaining $293 million debt on the incinerator,
and instituting a more intensified recycling, composting and source reduction
plan.
Mr. Carson also suggested that the
UCUA re-negotiate its pending contract
with Ogden Martin so that the county
maintains ownership of the incinerator.
He accused the state Division of Local
Government Services of "blackmailing"
the county into entering the long-term
"burden." He said the county's previous
bondcounsel, McCarter& English, which
now represents Warren County, has said
counties are not legally responsible for
bonds floated by independent utilities
authorities.
TheUCUA will comebeforc the board
tonightfor an amendment to the county's
Solid WasteManagementPlan.Thischange
will enable the UCUA to enter into voluntary contracts with towns in and outside
of the county for sending waste to the
Rahway burner.

Freeholder Board Continues
Services to Neediest Citizens
The Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders passed resolutions
on December 11 that will continue
special services for county residents
who need them most.
Under the resolutions sponsored
by Freeholder Carol I. Cohen, the
Union County Department ofHuman
Services will helppeoplewithdisabilities gain greater self-sufficiency
through many forms of support and
will provide low-income families with
help ranging from comprehensive
counseling to cash.assistance.
"During thistimeofyear, when the
spiritofgiving is paramount, it is very
rewarding to be able to continue services that make people's lives a little
easier," said Freeholder Cohen.
With $432,905 fiomtheNew Jersey

peopkwithpnyskalormental impairments who have difficulty walking,
seeing, hearing or caring for themselves will receive such assistance as

Town Ordinance Gives Communities
Basis to Follow on Cellular Towers
At its meeting on Tuesday, December 16, the
Westfield Town Council is expected to enact a law
which will regulate cellular telecommunications
antennas and towers in the town. In the age of
pagers, cell phones and other wireless communication technology, the question is no longer "iF' cell
..phone providers will seek to construct towers and
antennas in our communities but "when."
The ordinance, officially introduced by the Westfield council on December 2, is expected to become
La model to follow as towns try to cope with the
increasing proliferation of these types of communication equipment.
•;: According to the "resident expert" on cellular
communication on the Westfield council, Councilman Neil F. Sullivan, Jr., it is estimated that there are
between 17,000 and 22,OOOcelhilarantennasor sites
nationwide. New technology, called personal communications services, or PCS, uses less power and
has a shorter range than its analog predecessors —
thus towers and antennas in the future will have to be
closer together which, of course, will necessitate the
need for significantly more antennas.
Since the Federal Communications Commission
does not allow municipalities to prevent cellular
towers and antennas from entering the communities, the question becomes how can towns locate
these structures so as not to create an unsightly
mess in the community—yet without infringing on
the companies' Constitutional rights as cellular
communications providers?
Three such companies - Nextel, Sprint and Bell
Atlantic Mobile have reached or are nearing agreements to put antennas on buildings in town.
Sprint recently was approved for, and has installed,
an antenna on Prospect Arms, a 1920s vintage
apartment building located behind Edwards Super
Foods Store at Cowperthwaite Place. Nextel has
reached an agreement but has yet to install its
antenna at the same location. Meanwhile, Bell Atlantic Mobile is seeking to installacellular antenna on
the steeple on the First United Methodist Church.
With the absence of an ordinance, the town up
until now has been approving these applications
administratively.
It is anticipated that Comcast (currently in negotiations with the town for a new cable TV contract)
and OmniPoint will want to mount antennas in
Westfield — meaning six providers could soon be
in town.
; If the ordinance is adopted, future applications
; will be heard by the Planning Board as conditional
use cases. As part of the proposed ordinance,
providers will have to first show proof they could
not put an antenna on an existing tower before the
: board would grant permission for construction of a
: new structure. Providers of cellular telephones and
; other wireless communications will be required to
contact the owners of buildings in town where
antennas can be mounted before requesting to
• construct an actual tower. The applicant will also
have to allow co-existence of antennas from at
[
least three additional providers on their tower.
Currently, Public Service Electric & Gas Co. has
a substation on Rahway Avenue which could be
used to mount antennas. There are also towers of
100 feet in height along the railroad tracks which
are used for high tension wires. These towers,
through this ordinance, could also be used to mount
antennae*
Under the Westfield ordinance, cellular towers,
o f a maximum 12S feet in height, could only be
located on the far northeast and southwest corners
of the town—on the Springfield and Scotch Plains
borders. In non-residential zones in the center o f
town, these structures would be restricted to being
mounted atop buildings of at least 45 feet in height.
Antennas can be located on the top of mufti-story
buildings (of at least 45 feet in height) and on top of
churches in residential zones. Mufti-family housing
with at least five dwelling units may mount antennas on the roof providing the building is 45 feet in
height, or approximately two-and-a-half stories.
Freestanding antennas can be a maximum of 125
feet in height in office zones, located on the outskirts of town, and 45 feet in height in the commercial and general business zones. In the latter case,
these antennas can be located to abut the railroad
tracks that run through the center of town.
The ordinance will enable the town to use townowned buildings, or have a tower build based on the
town government's specifications. Both of these scenarios would give tte town evra more c o n t ^
location of cellular equipment and create more opportunity to handle additional requests for antennas.
While generating additional revenue for the town,
which could be used in a number of different areas
— such as toward improvements to the town parks
— the tower could help improve public safety
transmission for the police, fire and rescue squad
communications.
Currently, the two antennae in town are located
on the rooftops of buildings in the downtown area.
All antennae must comply with federal regulations of electromagnetic radiation levels, with applicants required to demonstrate continued compliance every two years thereafter.
to its ordinance, Westfield has given telecommunications firms every opportunity to construct towers and install antennas—theyjust cannot put them
wherever they choose. A 120-foot tower in downtown Westfield would clearly stand out as the tallest
structure in town, which is not what this town
needs.
We encourage other communities, including
Scotch Plains and Fanwood, to take a look at the
Westfield ordinance to see how it might work in
their communities. The key is to try to get the
towers to blend into the town as much as possible
rather than becoming unattractive poles sticking
out of the ground.
Hopefully, Westfield's ordinance will stand as an
example on how to effectively deal with cellular
towers and antennas in the future.

Red Cross, Community Remember
Military Personnel Stationed Abroad
During the holiday season, our hearts
and minds turn to thoughts of home, fam• ily and friends gathered together to celebrate; however, military personnel are
; not able to enjoy being "home" for the
'holidays because they are stationed in
' many distant lands such as Bosnia, Hun: gary and Kuwait.
; The generosity and kindness of many
' people in our community was evident again
. this year as the Westfield/Mountainside
Red Cross sponsored the TROOPS (To
Remember Our Overseas Personnel This
Season) project to send holiday items,
drink mixes, food snacks, books, games,
; videos and many other assorted herns to
• those stationed far from home.
This project was accomplished through
.the coordination and cooperation from
Girl Scout Troop No. 540 with Nancy
Kiclar, leader; Troop No. 482, Kathy
Cilmartin, leader, and Troop No. 430,
.'Allison Jacob, leader, in Westfield, and
Mary Daly's Fifth grade class from
McKinlcy Elementary School.
"Forty-eight cartons were packed and
shipped to the APO in New York and
forwarded overseas, and what a gift for
those service personnel—to receive something from home during this season.
On behalf of the recipients who will
receive the items, many thanks to the

holidays from them.

If it were any more sensitive, The Wings
of the Dave would chafe. Adapted from
the Henry James novel by screenwriter
Hossein Amini and directed by Iain
SofUey, the meticulously icted, psychologically driven effort is 60 percent art
film, 25 percent coitiune drama, and IS
percent travelogue. When (he high-mannered tale of love and deception takes a
voluptuous turn midway through the proceedings, romantically inspired location
filming in Venice differentiates the heady
endeavor from the usual drawing room
exercise, though that's where it starts.
Meet Kate Croy, a designing lass exquisitely played by Helena Bonham
Carter. Her beauty is matched only by her
cunning. It's how she has to be, or so her
profound desperation would leave you to
believe. After all, she's the quintessential
poorrelation,and London circa 1910 isn't
exactly swarming with job opportunities
for women.
With no great expectations in sight and
a sick sot for a Dad, it behooves Kate to
do as rich Auntie Maude (Charlotte
Rampling) says. Problem is, of course, she
bves Merlon Densher, handsome rake
and idealistic journalist intelligently portrayed by Linus Roadie. And, no surprise
again, trie crusading Mr. Densher is hardly
well heeled. The willful Miss Croy is
forbidden from seeing him, atriskoflosing
her equally headstrong aunt's patronage.
Kategiuo^gry breaks it off, ropmgagainst
hope that fate will somehow intertwine
their lovelorn souls again.
Fate doesn't take long, soon arriving in
the personage of Millie Theale (Alison
Elliott), Kate's wealthy antithesis from
the United States. As one wag at a cocktail
reception for the heiress observes, "She'd
be the queen in America, if they had one."
Anxious to spy his delinquent love,
Merton latches onto an invited guest and
happens on the scene. The taboo relationship is I C K V ^ and there's a wicked twist
in the offing — that is, once the troika
become familiar enough to firm a proper
love triangle. First, all three become last
friends, in rather short order at that; but
Millie quickly reserves a special place in her
heart fir Merton. Whenever MUKe inquires,
Kate and Merton, ever-socautious, contend that they are merely old friends.
Becoming their willing benefactor, the
affluent American bankrolls a romantic
sojourn to Venice. Aunt Maude is nonplused. For the time being, Kate has found
a new patron.
Unbeknownst to Millie, Kate discov-
Deadline
era a sadly compromising truth about her
fragile young sponsor. It could be a way
out for the calculating wench. Just how
guilty Kate feels when she hatches her
deceitful little scheme is a matter for conjecture, Henry James style. Righteous
Merton's unwitting (or maybe not so
unwitting) culpability in the plot may be
a bit more complex. The literary father of
modern psychology, perhaps author
James knew that only a madman truly
knows his mind. That the rest of us tread
water in a pool of emotional uncertainty.
And so it is with the conscience-wracked
friends in The Wings of ike Dove.
In this highly studied Glm, where plot
action is remarkably distilled to subtle
facial gestures — real, inferred, or just
imagined — the key words are askance,
furtive and deliberative. They gain fine
visual definition via the eloquent visages
of the talented three principals. Though
cinematographer Eduardo Sena does a
fine job of capturing the haunting uniqueness mat is Venice, the detailed intricacy
required to record the aforementioned facial expressions, in tandem with editor
Tariq Anwar's peerless effort, represents
the real photographic coup.
For those overly accustomed to the
raucous razzmatazz of Hollywood filmmaking, this sophisticated change of pace
might at first fed like being draggedtothe
open. But the thrust into a higher gear, a
rdnvigorating dollop of culture, pleasantly
reminds how good a tonic intellectual cinema can be, given me proper dosage. And
it's much tastier than cod liver oil.
However, viewers who binge on a steady
diet of art films may be stymied. Unlike the
mass of Ivory-Merchant films — the Classic Comic books of the movie world—The
Wmgs of the Dove co-opts little of that
genre's dress-up party pretension. In highlighting the mixed emotions and ambiguity
of human relations, director Iain SofUey
details the quandary without necessarily
making some ostentatious fashion statement That isn't to say that John Beard's
production isn't visually appealing; the
evening scenes in Venice are particularly
enticing. It's just that the thrifty script's
emphasis is on less being more. Hence, The
fusions with surprisingly little flap
and even less flutter.

'COMMENTING ON UNION C0UNTV
Economic Initiatives Boost
Quality of Life in County
• y LINDA d.STENDER
Ym*mmm-v*M*cn*m>Btm*iprr im i l l w
This month, my one-year term as Chairwoman of the Union County Board of
Chosen Freeholders comes loan end.
In January, one of my Freeholder colleagues will assume the Chairmanship and
I will remain on the board to continue to
serve the approximately 500,000 people
who reside in Union County's 21 municipalities.
When I was sworn in last January as
Chairwoman of the Freeholder Board, I
set numerous goals that would enable
Union County to continue to be a great
place to live, raise a family and operate a
business.
Recognizing that a vibrant economy is
essential to maintain the quality of life we
enjoy, I set as another goal the ongoing
strengthening of Union County's
economy. We nave made major strides to
ensure that our county will be a major
factor in the local, state, regional, national
and global marketplace as we move toward the 21st century.
Since its establishment in 1857, Union
County has had the competitive advantages o f location and a highly skilled
workforce. By our focusing on continued
economic development, we have been
able to build on these advantages and
become the "Gateway" to the New Jersey/New York Metropolitan Area, the
world's center of commerce.
In this, my final Freeholder Forum of
1997,1 want to cite just a few of the major
accomplishments your Board o f Freeholders has done over the past 12 months
— achievements that have resulted in
unprecedented opportunities for job
growth and economic prosperity, factors
that are important for the continued quality of life in our county.
The newly-created Freeholder Economic Development Committee (headed
by Freeholder Donald Goncalves, and
comprising Freeholders Carol I. Cohen,
Frank H. Lehr and I), defined the economic priorities while carrying out important initiatives.
The first-ever Economic Development
Department, under the direction of the
Deputy County Manager George
Devanney, who serves as senior staff person to the Economic Development Committee and the ncwry-appointed Council
of Economic Advisors, coordinates the
economic nurturing efforts of Kean
University's New Jersey Gateway Center
for Regional Development, Union County
College's Small Business Institute and
CenterforAdvanccment,theUnion County
Economic Development Corporation, and
the Workforce Divestment Board.
Conferences and trade missions have
extolled the benefits of working in, and
doing business with, Union County, in
addition to opening markets around the
world. An October 13 supplement in The
WallStreetJournalpnm<Aedtt»Cmmty
as a premier commercial center, while on
October 17, Union County sponsored
"Transporting Union County into the
21st Century: A Leadership Conference
on Economic Development," which featured key local, state and federal representatives, as well as leaders from business and academia. Wcmetwithadelegation from Luxembourg in December to
discuss possible trade partnerships, and
we signed an agreement earlier in the year
with our sibling city, Wcnzhou, China,
to generate economic trade, cultural exchange and educational programs.
Rail and road projects have been developed to improve our infrastructure
JOAJOHNMCOfiSON
and ensure the easy movement of people
and materials into, out of, and through
Union County. The Transportation Development District (TDD) plan, covering the Elizabcthport area and Routes
No. 1 and No. 9, is identifying areas in
which to upgrade transportation, while
reactivating the Rahway Valley Railroad
and the Staten bland Railroad. We are
also looking to establish the East-West
Light Rail Link that will run from
Plainfield to Elizabcthport and on to
Newark International Airport.
Another important accomplishment
was the innovative solution to the solid
waste crisis, a situation which threatened
the Union County incinerator with bankruptcy, posed serious economic stagnation to the county, and could have raised
business and residential taxes by forcing
residents to pay off the facility's $280
million in bonds. Prompted by the New
Jersey Supreme Court's ruling that municipalities were no longer requiredtouse
county incinerators, the Freeholder board
negotiated a deal with our incinerator's
operators to pay off the bonds over 25
years; bring down the cost of incineration
for municipalities by 40 percent; and hold
increases to the Consumer Price Index.
We are currently meeting with our 21
municipalities to gain approval of the
plan.
While the aforementioned accomplishments in 1997 had deep roots in economic
development, the Union County Board of
Chosen Freeholders did not forget its
obligations to provide quality programs
and services mat residents have come to
expect.
Through our programs, needy people
of all ages received job training, health
care,counseling, financial assistance, transportation and other services; our streets,
neighborhoods and facilities continued to
be secure, thanks to our County Police,
Sheriff's Office and Division of Corrections; and our parks are recognized around
the country as models of recreation and
preservation.
Without the vision, enthusiasm and
energy of my fellow Freeholders and dedicated county employees, none of these
achievements would have been possible.
We have worked together tirelessly,
and we are poised for even greater accomplishments in 1998.

What is a deadline?
Civil War buffs will be surprised to
learn that the first use of this word in print
was in Loisings' 1868 "History of The
Civil War" in which the original sense of
deadline was described at follows: "Seventeen feet from the inner stockade was

The current definition is, of course

Elk Farming May
Be New Trend
By Louis H. Clark s
Do you know what the most expensive
meat in the world is? Not ostrich, not
buffalo, not kangaroo. It's elk. I've had it
out west, and while it's very expensive,
it's delicious. Now I discover in a New
York Times article that elk farming is a
regular business. And here, I thought, they
went out and shot elks for dinner when
they really farm them.
According to the article, elk meat sells
for $4.50 a pound, and they talk about
usingeverythingonandinapigexceptits
squeal. They even sell the buck elk's
antlers to Asia at about $40 a pound. The
article delicately says it's used there as a
health vitamin, body charm, when we all
know it's for pollen and is sold by the
ounceover there. And an antlerrack weighs
from 40 to 100 pounds, so it's no wonder
that the numberof elk breeders has grown
to 3,000; many of them are former beef
farmers, and we all know the hard times
beef has fallen upon.
Why Wall Street hasn't found this new
bonanza, I'll never know. But it will start
soon.
So, I' ve been wondering how I can get
in on the ground floor without falling into
the basement. I can't import the meat
because even though it* s a growing business, the thousands of elk fanners can sell
every bit of meat themselves. Besides,
there isn't enough room around here to
have an elk farm.
It reminds me of my great grandfather,
who started a trout farm in New Hampshire where you could just about put your
hands in the water and pull out an eightpound trout...an elk weighs too much.
Residents Encoiii
To Help Clear Snow
From Fire Hydrants
Paul Batoloro, Chief of the Westfield Fire Department, has urged all
Westfield residents to clear mow from
fire hydrants near their homes and
businesses.
Weatfidd has almost 900 hydrants
within its boundaries, and the Fire Deportment shovels the a n t around all
hydrants, according to the Fin Chief.
The process is very time consuming, and it is important that hydrants
are cleared quickly, the Fin Chief
emphasized. Clearing a nearby hydrant may aid in saving a life or preventing property damage, he said.
The Fire Department has started a
hydrant marker system. These markers have been placed in selected areas, fa the rutu^ markers willrjeplaced
on all hydrants within the municipality during the winter months.

Thisreportwill now serveasaguidepost for other townships along the
Raritan Valley Line, whohave banded
together to form the Raritan Valley
Rail Coalition (RVRC). United States
Congressmen Bob Franks, Rodney
Frelinghuysen and Mike Pappas established the RVRC in November to
address the need for improved service.
In a meeting of the coalition in
Bridgewater on December 12, Congressman Franks urged each municipality to engage in an independent
effort, cataloguing the concerns and
problems which commuters face on a
daily basis.
He promised to mail a copy of the
Westfield report to everyone at the
meeting, stating that, "They are the
kindsofmodelwewanttofollowaswe
ask communities to conduct assessments."
•• Once the assessments are completed, a special task force will review
the reports and identify the needs that
are system wide. The coalition will
bring these needs to the attention of
NJ Transit and the state Department
of Transportation (DOT).
NJTransithasnamed Steven Clark,
a Fanwood resident, as Project Manager for Customer Service improvements on the Raritan Valley Line. Mr.
Clark addressed the group, reporting
that NJ Transit staff is available to
help communities conduct their assessments.

And what will happen to the momentum of the Westfield commuter
commission, now that a larger one is
underway, encompassing towns from
Union, Essex, Morris and Somerset
Counties?
So where does the Westfield Raritan
Valley Line Commuter Commission
stand?
According to Mayor Jardim, "They
see themselves as the logical nucleus
of efforts along the line. They are a
grassroots pressure group, and they' re
not going to stop."
Rich Andreski, the Westfield delegate to the RVRC agreed, adding
"We haven't in any way passed the
baton."
In October, the WRVLCC submitted a report to NJ Transit of goals for
improvingthe traincommutefor Westfield and other towns on the Raritan
Valley Line. In the subsequent meeting with transit officials, the commission requested a line by line response
to the report.
On December 11, Mayor Jardim,
founder of the WRVLCC, received a
written response from NJ Transit Executive Director Shirley DeLibero.
She noted improvements that will be
made and explained why other .concerns outlined in the report cannot be
addressed at this time.
The WRVLCC had identified
short-, medium- and long-term goals
for improved train service to Manhattan. Commutersurveys had identified a need for more trains during

McGinn Class Begins Tour
Along '66' on Stationary Bike
Lyrics from the populsr song of the
1950s probably doesn't stir much emotion up for a typical fifth grader, unless o f
course, you're in Anthony Arno's fifth
grade class.
Students in Mr. Arno's class at William
McGinn Elementary School in Scotch
Plains are preparing to bicycle the entire
2,400-mile length of historic Route No. 6 6
without ever leaving the classroom.
Students will attempt to bicycle Route
No. 66 on a computerized stationary bicycle that has been donated by Push,
Pedal, Pull of Greenbrook. As students
ate progressing westward at a rate of 2 0
miles per day they will be corresponding
via the Internet with schools and other
individuals living along Route 66.
In its heyday, the highway occupied a
special place in American culture and
history. Through the years, America's
main street has been immortalized in
many ways, from John Steinbeck's classic "Grape's of Wrath" to the Rolling
Stones own version of the Route No. 6 6
song.
Activities during the six-month journey will span across all areas of the curriculum. Students will closely study the
history o f America's first highway by
reviewing poems, songs, photographs,
stories, magazine/newspaper articles, and
video selections that tell about accounts o f
historic Route 66.
In language arts and math, students will
be maintaining a travel journal with expenses and writing about people that
they've met along the route by corresponding on the Internet.
In science, students will be monitoring

The Scotch Plains-Fanwood High
School wrestling team it on the move.
Two years ago, the Raiders finished
5-11; last year, they were 9-6-2, and
this season the Raiders have higher
aspirations. The Raiders have 3 3
wrestlers, 11 which are freshmen,
and still have several experienced
wrestlers.
Junior Tony Melendez and Seniors
Luke Cerchio and Eric Viscardi have
been selected as the Raiders' team
captains.
Melendez finished 19-6, was first in
the District 12 Tournament and placed
second in the Union County Tournament
at 125. This season, Melendez plans to
occupy the 130-pound class.
Cerchio was 16-12, placed third in
the counties and third in the districts
at 140. Cerchio plans to compete at
145 this season, viscardi, though injured, saw some action last year at
171 and will remain at that weight
this season.
Sophomore Dave Loewinger, who will
wrestle 103, placed third in District 12
and bad a 16-12 record at 103. Junior
Charlie Tripet, wrestling 119 this year,
was 13-12 at 112 last year.
Tony Zanfecki was 13-11 and placed
fourth in me District 12 Toumamentat 189.
Confidently, Zardecki exclaimed, "I am
going to be District Champion this year."
Frank Thome showed steady improvement last year at 215. This summer,
Thome placed third in the state in
freestyle wrestling, and has high hopes
this season at 215.
Junior Jim Feeley, at 250-pounds, will
totally fill in the heavyweight position.
Last year, Feeley was 15-12, placed third
in the districts and qualified for the Region 3 Tournament
Raider Head Wrestling Coach Dave
Bello has a strong will and desire to
do well this season. "We should be
competitive for the Watchung Conference, We have Rahway on February 6 at home and it could be a
thriller," stated Bello
"We open with Kearny; they are going to be tough. If we beat Keamy, we
can be a serious contender for the
Watchung Conference title," claimed
Bello "I would like to challenge South
Plainfleld for the District 12 tide and
would like to place in the top three in
the Union County Tournament. Alto
w e would like to qualify for the
sectionals," added Bello.

Men's Over 50 Hoops League
Begins; S. Plains Beats Pearls
The Senior Basketball League, sponsoredbyClubBasketballUSAofWestfield,
began its 1997-1998 season last week at
Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School with
a renewed spirit and an expanded league.
The league welcomed the arrival of new
teams from Patenon (toe Wise Guys) and
Clark (Areana Sports), and new players on
all teams. Scotch Plains, last year's undefeated championship squad, resumed its
winning ways with a 46-27 defeat of an
improved Westfkld team, which added a
pair of six-foot, five-inch bookeods, 60year-old John Barrand rookie JohnCarlson.
Scotch Plains picked up Pete Tiemey,
who played for Fairleigh Dickinson, and
who, along with Tom Aguirre, the perennial league leader in offensive rebounding,
led the scoring for the defending champs.
A new entry fiom the Paterson "Y," the
Wise Guys, have burst out to a 2-0 record,
with victories over fellow newcomers,
Areana Sporteof Clark, and Team Law. Last
year's runner-up, Cranford, is again looking
to be a power, utilizing a constant running
style favored by player-coach Lou Koehler.
The Cougars have added six foot fiveinch Chip Weiss to their arsenal. Areana
Sports looked better than their 0-2start would
indicate. They displayed good passing and
shooting skills, and should be a factor.
Look for improved play from North
PlainfieJd, with the addition of Linden and
Citadel player Al Krobotfa (six feet, five
inches),andTeamLaw, whichpkkedadded
similarly-sized Mack Harper of Plainfield.
Last year's third-place team, Berkeley
Heights, looked sharp in their first outing.

Union County Golf I.D. Cards
Available After January 1st
"<~ Golfers can avoid crowds at Union
- County courses by purchasing identification cards for the 1998 season when
•'they become available after the first of
'the new year.
Freeholder Vice Chairman Daniel
P. Sullivan, Liaison to the Parks and
Recreation Adsorb Board, said that
by buying the cards (which are available at all three c o u n t y - o w n e d
courses) during the winter, golfers
won't have to contend with throngs
of over enthusiasts.
T h e y can save themselves a lot of
time and aggravation by buying the identification cards before spring comes," be
said. "We are making it as easy at possible to serve the goners who play our
courses."
Last year's establishment of a computerized, photo identification system
has changed the production and renewal of cards.
Because all identification cards purchased in 1997 will be de-activated by
the system on Wednesday, December
31, it is important for golfers who
registered this year to keep their cards
and'bring-them to the course when
purchasing a 19981.D. card, a county,
spokeswoman said.
A date sticker will be applied to the
1997 card and it will be reactivated.
New cards will be issued to golfers
who were not registered in 1997, or who
are purchasing a different type of card for
the new year.
Cards can be purchased or updated
daily, from 8 a m . to 4 p.m. People who
' live in or own property in Union County
can purchase a Resident Card for $30, or
a Season Card for $80. Senior residents
or senior property owners, ages 62 and
older and youths ages 12 to 17 may
' purchase I.D. cards for $25.
- When purchasing a new card or rehewing last year's cards, golfers must
show proof of residency through two
• forms of identification: a driver's license and either a current annual lease,
tax bill, utility bill, credit card bill or
' bank statement.
In the absence of a driver's license, two of the other items listed
will be accepted. Non-county residents who own property in Union
County may also purchase cards upon
providing a current tax bill showing
the address, lot and block number, o f
the property.

But some immediate steps will be
taken to improve communication at
Newark Penn Station. New and better quality monitors will be installed
by spring to provide information regarding train times.
The WRVLCC had noted that the
current monitors are often inaccurate.
To improve the accuracy of monitor

with the AMTRAK personnel who
actually make these announcements.
Westfield commuters can also expect some new amenities closer to
home — in early 1998, ticket vending machines will be installed at the
Westfield station. Westfield boarding passengers will be able to purchase tickets with a credit card beginning in January. And an ATM machine will soon be installed in the

Decision to Keep Standards
Of USA Label Applauded
Congressman Bob Franks has called
tneFederdlTradeCcmniission's(FTC)
decision to scrap its proposal to lower
' the-standardsforproducts to display
the"MadeinUSj<r label "a victory for
. American consumers and workers."
' Congressman Franks, who spearl headedtheCongressioiial movement
to preserve the current "Made in
* USA" standard, represents the Seve n t h District which includes West" field, Scotch Plains, Fanwood and
;• Mountainside.
"As the holiday shopping season
sets underway, American consumers
have something to celebrate," he remarked.'"Made in USA' will remain
— as it hasfor50 years — a trusted
symbol of American pride and quality
workmanship."
"Consumers and workers have prevailed indefeatingaproposal that would
havedestrcyed confidence in the'Made
inUSA' labcland cost Americansjobs,"
CongressmanFranks said.
"The Made in USA' label will continue to serve as a guarantee that a
product is actually manufactured in
an Americanplant with American parts
by American workers," the Congressman stated.
OnDecember l.theFTC announced
that it was bowing to public pressure
andwouldnotgoforwaidwithitsplans
to lower the "Made in USA" standard.
The proposal, which was unveiled
by the FTC in May, would have allowed products that were made with a
substantial amount of foreign parts or
by foreign workers, to display the
"Made in USA" label.
Congressman Franks said "The
FTC's decision to maintain the current standards demonstrates that the
public can fight back against the special interests and the Washington bureaucrats.
"The outpouring of public protest
has stopped the FTCfiom pullinga fast
one over on American consumers."

"Every citizen has the responsibility to protect our environment, to
ensure our quality of life and the
health and well-being of future generations. The county's IPM strategies include replacing traditional
pesticides and herbicides by adopting biological methods, performing
spot treatment instead of treating an
entire golf course for a disease and
using less toxic chemicals when pesticides are needed," said Freeholder
Sullivan.
The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protectionoffers pesticide
recertification credits for those who
complete the course. Additional certification courses are slated for 1998.

did hear from him. He had a friend in
Florida who was looking for a home.
Ms. Mulvee called him, and began
