Board deniesexpansion of lotTHE RD-PRESH

WESTFIELD — The Board ofAdjustment denied an amendedapplication by Temple Einnnu-Elto expand their parking lotMonday, concluding months oftestimony. Though a compromiseproposal drafted on the flyresulted in a 4-3 vote in favor ofthe application, approval of thetemple's proposal required fiveaffirmative votes. The slimmajority vote was not sufficientto approve the expansion.

Due to overcrowding and lim-ited parking at some templefunctions, members who attendthe events are forced to park onresidential streets, This practicehas raised concerns about safety

for temple members, who pointto a pedestrian accident. In. the

Proponents of the temple'sexpansion said the expanded lotwould alleviate safety concernsand address the temple's park-ing needs, while opponents coun-tered that the expansion wouldnegatively affect property val-ues, cause lighting, noise, anddrainage problems, and disruptthe integrity of a residentialneighborhood.

Many residents who live inthe area acknowledge the on-street parking affects their qual-ity of life, but said the expansion

and money related to Sosa's network by the end (jf the week. In total,17 people have been arrested as part of the investigation, all ofwhom face charges related to conspiracy or intent to distribute.

Komankow lauded the efforts of the prosecutor's office and theefforts of 21 police chiefs who assisted Deration Crackdown, includ-ing departments in Garwood, Kemlworth, and Fanwood. He alsosaid that Cranford detective David Zsak was the primary detectivein the case, .starting the case from street sources am) investigativeleads last winter.

The prosecutor added that the; federal Drug Enforcement Agencynow considers Union County a "hub" for illegal drug distribution,and added that officials have broken six major drug networks with-in the county in the last 14 months.

"Perhaps in the near future these tyjves of individuals will bearrested and sent away for a long time," Komankow said, addingthat operations have prevented eight kilograms of cocaine per weekfrom reaching the streets.

"You're talking about 2,000 vials JKT kilogram and up dependingon how it's cut down, and nt $10 to $20 each hit that's enough to sup-ply 100,000 hits of cocaine per week," he said.

According to Executive Assistant Prosecutor Hob O'l>';iry, UnionCounty has increased as a drug trafficking center largely U-cause ofits proximity to major north-south and east-west routes like theGarden State Parkway, the New Jersey Turnpike, Routes 22 and 78.

'These are major corridors," he said. "You can't gn south to Floridaor oast to New York City without passing through Union County," hesaid. Hut this case was unusual, O'Jx\iry said, Iwcause of the "mag-nitude, firejwwcr, and the quality and quantity" of the drugs confis-cated.

Residents of Willow Avenue in Garwood were shocked to learnone of their neighbors was a major cocaine supplier. "1 would nuvurhave known it," said Timothy Bogden. "Nothing I've seen in theneighborhood would indicate drug activity."

O'Leary noted drug traffickers choose quiet residential neighbor-hoods like Garwood because they think they will not IK; caught.Garwood Mayor Dennis McCarthy added that drug suppliers likeHill who relocate in suburban communities may be a growing trend.

"You never know," McCarthy said. "We're a .small community Iguess at the time they thought they would not lx> watched."

of the lot would be a greaterimpediment.

At the outset of Monday'smeeting, members of the boardattempted to find a compromisebetween the temple's: proposaland the concerns of neighbors,many of whom organized into agroup, UNITE, opposed to theparking lot expansion. The (wardhats heard testimony on the tem-pie's application since April.

"I think the mo.st effective tes-timony 1 heard was from (resi-dents) who said they were con-flicted... by the way things werepolarizing the neighborhood," .saidboard member Francis M. Smith,who proposed scaling back theparking lot expansion plan byapproximately .'i0 spots andincreasing the buffer l>etween thelot and nearby residences, a sug-gestion the temple agreed to.

The temple had originally pro-posed 170 spaces for the location,but had come down to 138 spacesprior to Monday's meeting.Smith's proposal brought thatnumber down farther. The tem-ple's lot now has 67 spaces.

Dissenting members of theboard said that the temple's pro-posal would have covered anexcessive percentage of the tem-ple's lot with pavement. Thetown's manter plan calls for only50 percent paved coverage, whilethe temple's original applicationproposed nearly 65 percent.

Smith's proposal would havereduced the paved coverage tosomewhere between 55 and 60percent, but that was not enoughto satisfy everyone on the board.

"My feeling on the whole; issuowan that the coverage was out ofline with what we approve," l>oardmember Chris Masciale said afterthe meeting. "I am willing to giveleniency to the overall coveragerequirements, but I felt they werestill over the percentage of cover-age for the benefit to have out-

weighed the detriments to theneighborhood."

During the meeting, Smith alsonoted the temple had promised totake steps to address concernsraised by town planner BlaisBrancheau about the application.

Among the 12 points Smithmentioned were promises by thetemple to keep the rear kitchenand side doors closed during theevening, restrict garbage pickuptimes to daytime hours, restrictoutdoor smoking policies, endevents by midnight, use low-levellighting, limit non-religiousevents to 12 per year, and reducedriveway width to maintain thearea's streetscape.

Despite agreeing to thesepoints, the temple failed to garnerenough support to gain passage."We put significant weight to thefeelings of residents in residentialzones," said board member LarryMcDerniott, who said he felt thepercentage of paved coverageshould be close to the 50 percentestablished by the master plan,

"I am disappointed by the out-come," said Terri Klass, presidentof Temple Emanu-El. "Safety forthe Westfield community was notwell served by the zoning boardruling. We don't want anotherfatality — that was at the heart ofthe issues here."

Klass added that the templehad been willing to compromisefrom the beginning. "We created aneighborhood liaison committeewhich worked with residentsevery step of the way and incorpo-rated neighlKirs' ideas," she said.Some neighborhood residents,though, have .said the temple tooka heavy-handed approach in thosepreliminary discussions.

Residents opposed to the tem-ple's expansion were elated by thedecision. "From my thinking it'sthe correct decision because it wasa residential neighborhood longbefore the temple was here," saidAnne Kontana, who lives on near-by 'Fremont Street. "It's nn egre-gious sense of entitlement to tryto blacktop an entire neighbor-hood."

Temple Emanu-El has notdecided whether it intends toappeal the decision, submit a newapplication, or abandon the park-ing lot expansion entirely.

"We're talking about it rightnow, but we haven't reached adecision," KIUBB said. In the mean-time, she said, "We will continueto work together with our neigh-bors."

"At this time no charges have been filed, but I would say that atsome point charges would be filed," Panzeau said Tuesday.

Rafael Betancourt, chairman of the town's Transportation,Parking, and Traffic Committee, said the safety of West field roads hasbeen a concern for years. While the Town Council has not discussedtraffic calming measures on North Avenue, which is a_ state ™vte-Betancourt said that he has proposed to establish a 25 mph speedlimit on Westfield streets.

"We need to send a message out to the world that when you comeinto town you have to slow down," he said.

Residents spoke about the issue at the town councils regularmeeting Tuesday night. "I beg you to address (the traffic s.ifety situ-ation)," said resident Maureen Rothfelder, who witnessed one of thefatal accidents. "We need to provide better safety to the citizens of thistown." . . . _

The town has been planning to install a lighted crosswalk in trontof Lord & Taylor for some time, said Town Administrator Jim Gildea.Westfield was approached by the May Company, parent of Lord andTaylor, to share costs for the construction of a lighted crosswalkmonths before last week's fatal accident.

The town has agreed to pay one-tliird of the cost of the project or$4,500, whichever figure is less. The total cost of the project is esti-mated at $20,000. Union County has agreed to do engineering workfor the project, which was submitted to the state Department ofTransportation Sept. 10. Installation of the project requires authori-zation from Trenton.

"Installing the lights would certainly help, said Capt. JohnMorgan of the Westfield Police Department. Morgan said the area ofNorth Avenue near Lord & Taylor is an especially dark and danger-ous section of State Route 28, in part because of the incline of thestreet in the crosswalk area. "Any crosswalk located in the middle ofa block is not safe. People have a false sense of security because theyare walking on a painted part of the street," he said. Morgan addedthat he supports a town-wide 25 mph speed limit. "Most accidentshappen because people drive too fast," he said.

In the last five years, the area of North Avenue that runs throughWestfield has seen a substantial number of traffic accidents involvingpedestrians and bicyclists, According to a traffic analysis provided bythe police department, 26 accidents involving pedestrians occurredduring this period, resulting in three deaths and 16 injuries.

Eleven accidents took place on South Avenue over that time span,and a total of 151 traffic accidents involving pedestrians have beenreported across Westfield during the last five years.

Budgetprocessbegins

Record Press

THE RECORD-PRESS

WESTFIELD — Members ofthe Board of Education began pre-liminary discussions about theUjK-oming 2004-05 budget Tuesdaynight.

The property tax levy in thecoining budget is projected to riseby approximately 6 percent, thesame figure as last year's budgetincrease. At the same time, the dis-trict does not expect state aid toincrease. "This will be... the thirdconsecutive year with no increase,"said Bennan.

Property taxes nre expected toincrease by approximately 20conts, from last year's figure of$3.36 per $100 of assessed value tothis year's figure of $3.56. This is uiline with increases in past years; inthe last three years the tax levyincreases have ranged between 17and 28 cents.

The most significant increasesin next year's budget are likely tocome from an increase in specialeducation costs, a 3 to 4 percentincrease in teacher salaries, med-ical insurance increases, andmoney allocated to maintenanceand repair projects, according tothe presentation.

Westfield expects to have 10more out-of-district placements forspecial education than it had lastyear. Each special education stu-dent costs the district roughly$36,000 dollars.

Personnel salaries compriseapproximately 70 percent of thedistrict's budget, and the district'scollective bargaining agreementrequires an increase of 3 percent.The district also anticipates staffincreases at Westfield High Schooldue to increased enrollment.

Insurance costs are expected torise 12 to 15 percent. As olderemployees who are on a traditionalmedical insurance plan retire, theyare replaced by employees on acheaper point of service plan.

In past years, maintenance andrepair projects have been partiallyfunded by bond referendums. Tocover costs at schools not coveredby the bonds, money must be allo-cated from the district's budget.Some of these costs may include apotential trailer at Wilsonjjjementary School, work on a run-ning track at the high school, andvarious roof and ceiling projects.

. Superintendent William Foleyemphasized the budget is by nomeans finalized. In fact, school offi-cials said the budget frameworkthey were discussing was mostlybased on last year's figures.

On parking policy, wait 'til next yearTHE RECORD-PRESS

WESTFIELD — Board ofEducation President ArleneGardner and Town CouncilmanRafael Betancourt were instru-mental in crafting a high schoolparking policy which the counciltabled last week. Now they're notso sure that the council shouldpass ordinances required to bringthe parking policy into effect atthe beginning of next year, asthey had originally hoped.

"I think we should implementthe policy for September,"Gardner said. "It would give peo-ple time to get used to the idea,would allow us to set up orienta-tion for the kids, and would (beestablished) at the beginning ofthe school year."

"Anything that changes peo-ple's habits has to be implement-ed at the right time," Betuncourtsaid. "Perhaps September makesthe most sense now.*1

The parking policy was intro-duced by a slim 4-3 margin at aDec. 2 meeting but was droppedfrom the council's agenda on Dec.9 when it became apparent thatthere was not enough supportwithin the council to pass theordinances on final reading. TheBoard of Education approvedtheir portion of the parking poli-cy unanimously Nov. 18.

The policy would establish apermit system in which highschool seniors could park on des-ignated streets close to the high

school. Seniors living within ahalf-mile of the school and alljuniors would be excluded fromparking privileges on those desig-nated streets.

Under the policy, seniorsreceiving a permit would berequired to pay a $100 fee andabide by a code of conduct.Residents of those streets wouldbe required to obtain a $10 on-street parking sticker.

Those opposed to the policyhave said that the exclusionaryradius of seniors living nenr thehigh school should be extendedbeyond a half-mile. Opponentsalso objected to the limited scopeof streets included in the policy,the inconvenience of alternate-side parking restrictions and thevisual eyesore of signage. Severalcouncil members also objected torequiring residents to pay forpermits to park on streets.

And many residents objectingto the polity suggest that therestrictive radius should beincreased to three-quarters of amile to a mile or farther.However, increasing the radiuswould require students who walk

to school to cross North Avenue, adangerous thoroughfare whichclaimed the lives of two pedestri-ans last week. "Kids are less like-ly to cross busy streets at cor-ners," said Gardner.

One potential change to thepolicy may escape strong opposi-tion. In addition to several coun-cil members and Mayor GregMcDerinott, Gardner said slit'supports providing parking; per-mits to residents of affectedstreets free of charge. "From myperspective, 1 don't think youneed to include the $10 sticker inthe policy," Gardner Hiiitl.

Delay in passing the ordi-nances will not improve the park-ing situation around the highschool, Gardner said, noting thatthis spring more than 400 stu-dents will ho .seeking to park onstreets near the high schoolinstead of the 2H0 students thepolicy would have permitted.

Betancourt said he hasalready heard from angry resi-dents on Codding Koiul who arebearing the brunt of the currentparking burden and want thenew policy implemented.

CommentaryDWI legislation

is overdueThe New Jersey State legislature is finally getting

around to doing something it should have done a long timeago.

By a 4-0 vote last week, the Assembly Law and J'ublicSafety Committee supported a bill which would \owor theblood-alcohol content threshold for drunken driving from.10 to .08 percent. That action was long overdue.

New Jersey ia only one of five stateH that do not have the.08 threshold. Under a federal law passed in 2000, NewJereoy i3 losing 2 percent of its annual federal highwayfunding because the state'w law hann't been changed.

That's ironic because the 2000 law was uponHore.d byUnited States Sen. Frank Lautenberg, who representa NewJersey. And Lautenberg let memliers of the Assembly com-mittee know exactly how he felt about this when he testifiedlast week.

"I think that's disgraceful," he said,The bill had been opposed by the New Jersey

Restaurants Association, who said the slate's drunken driv-ing laws are already tough enough. The group said the newlaw would unfairly target social drinkers and cost therestaurant business milliom of dollars, thus robbing thestale of more sales tax revenue than the revenue it wouldget from the federal government.

That argument, however, did not convince the legislators.As supporters of the bill, including Mothers Against DrunkDriving (MADD), the Automobile Association of Americanand the New Jersey State Police, argued, a person with ablood alcohol reading of .08 is about 10 times more likely tobecome involved in a motor vehicle accident than a soberdriver.

Changing the DWI threshold should have been a no-brainer since Laulenherg'H law was passed three yourx ago.We can only wonder why the legislature dragged ita feet.Could it be that the New Jersey Restaurants Associationhas a more powerful lobbying presence in Trenton thanMADD?

Letters to the editor

Take steps to prevent identity theftTo The

During this holiday .season, thousands ofUnion County residents will use (heir ATM cardsand their debit and credit cards to purchase giftsfor friends and loved ones. I am writing to remindcitizens about the steps they must take to protecttheir good name and valuable credit informationfrom being used by unscrupulous thieves whosteal the identities of innocent victims.

Detectives and assistant prosecutors from theSpecial Prosecution I'nil in the Union CountyProsecutor's Office work closely with municipaldetectives on many of these cases. You would beHurpriHed at all the different ways ITIMUIUI.IH stealcredit information, open phony acmuuts. andcopy driver'H license inforniation to II.M> illegallyand order merchandise in someone cl>r's name

We have handltui easi'.s where Internet wednites such a« eliuy were used to entire people towend money for merchandise never provided.Telephone scams and flimHam operations targetvulnerable senior citizens, and tinsuspi-cling vie-timn have had nuiltiplc credit cards opened amicars and clollunn purchased with t heir identit ies.

Whitt run you do?If you have been the victim ot identity theft,

you will probably discover ii when ymi receivebills for itcm.s you never bought or discoverinformation aliiuit accounts yuu never openedYou should rail the "liij; three" credit reportingagencies: Kxperuin at tHHMi :i()7 ;r;i'J. Kquifax atirtOOt ,r)2f>-«i2Hr), and Tninsl'nion at i8(Hii (i80-72H5), to place a fraud alert on your credit fileand then fill out the affidavit available from thewebsite listed below to place your accounts onnotice. Contact your local police departmentwhere you live and the jtnhct' in the locationwhere vour items vverr stolen or where the

fraudulent charges occurred.This allows you to add a "victim statement" to

your credit file, and you can place some of yourcreditors on notice to check for any suspiciousactivity or attempts to open new accounts ormodify existing accounts. Our Victim WitnessAdvocacy counselors also suggest you send a reg-istered letter to creditors and include a copy ofthe police report to support your claims.

How do you prevent it from happeningto you in the first place?

You ran visit www.consumcr.gov/idthcft anddownload their booklet or call my office ttl i908).r>27-'ir>0() to order om* of our popular brochureson identity (heft. Do not let your credit card outof sight in a store, gas station or restaurant, andask thiil iinyiH1 who makes a copy of your dri-ver's license for any reason return your licenseto you iiiimrdmtely. Of course, it goes withoutsaying that you should immediately report theloss of any ATM card, debit card, credit curd,checkbook or other identifying documents andmove quickly to close any accounts when* appro-priate,

It IH unfortunate that this holiday consumeralert, which in years past was only informationabout pickpockets and shoplifters, has changedin the face of today's technology. These techno-logical advances should be used to accomplishgood things, but are instead often used bvthieves lnr evil. I believe we must do everythingin our power to help local law enforcement pre-vent theft in every form, anil work to improvesafety for all.

Memories ofChristinaspast

All merry Chrietmaaes wenalike then.

In Neshanic Station, where 1tried to grow up, comfort and joywere the absolutes of the seasonPouting — my natural state r,\being then and now — stopped .itthe threat of coal in my Christina-stocking. My eyes ached withlonging when I studied the Sear?Christmas catalog as if it was aKabala of toy mysticism. At night.when my throat was raw fromsinging carols all day in school, Iwatched the snow skid like tat-tered pieces of a dream throughthe. warm glow of Christmaslights outlining the back porch. Itwas warm and cozy in bed, and adeep and velvet sleep came toerase the anxious time beforeChristinas morning.

Remembering those child'sChristmases is at once both pleas-ant and sad. It is pleasantbecause, well, I was fortunate tohave Christ mases that resembleda Norman Rockwell ideal. Thefamily was harmonious (except forarguments ovt*r whether theturkey was clone > and the settingwas seeped with the mystery andthe beauty of the season (was thnta holy star or an isolated street-light that hung in the distanceover the church's live nativity?! Itis sad localise it is a memory ofwhat we have lost, not just theworld of wonders, but also themeaningfulness, purity, sentimentand benevolence of the season.

The cards with which we nowdeal most in the holiday season donot In-ar greetings of good chew,but the dire credit statements ofnraw January. Like members of acargo cult, we perform our coni-au'rciatiHtir ritual without think-ing alraut what we are doing orwhy we are doing it. Sometimes Ithink we would all l>e better if Wereturned to the practices of child-hood and made pot holders foreach other ami cards with crayonsand construction pnper It is afutile ho|M- that we all will beprompted by childhood memoriesto seriously review our values, seehow they have changed since tlwdays of relative innocence andmake the necessary adjustments'

I do not want to dwell on themaudlin ns}>ects of nostalgia; youget wet if you spit too much intothe wind. I could write foreveralKuit those days, about the surreptittou* plans to transportSanta Clans from the firehouse ft>the church when their Christmasparties were on the same nighlHut that would take too long, si>instead I will write about the jo^of Christmas caroling. ;

Westfield ornament nowavailable around town

^ WESTFIELD - The 2003Christmas ornament, featuringthe 1903 Town Seal, has nowarrived and is available for sale,according to the Westfield AreaChamber of Commerce (WACC).

The ornament commemoratesthe historical decision in March1903 to transition Westfield froma "township" to a "town."'"Marcie R. Horowitz, a

Westfield resident, recently pub-lished a paper on tin? subject. Inher report she states,"WestJIeld'.s decision to become atbWn was more (ban a simplechoice between two statutoryforma of government. Westfleld's'growing pains' reflect the over-all shift in America at the (urn iifthe 19th-century from a rural toan urban society. The healed con-tVbveray that surrounded thedecision Huggetits that, to thepeople of the time, the decision tobecome a 'city' or u 'town' was a

symbolic act as well, fraughtwith emotion and colored by theresidents' aspirations and fears.West field ultimately rejected thecity model, and settled for a mid-dle ground, compromise position.As a town not. a city, no longera rural village Westfield set acourse for itself a.s the quintes-sential New Jersey suburb it hasbecome today."

The 200:i Christmas orna-ment is available on Elm Streetat the WACC offices, theDowntown WestfieldCorporation (J)WCJ, MartinKichurd .Salon, and Fleet Bank;and around town at KurgdorffRealtors on North Avenue,Coldwell Hanker Schlott onCentral Avenue, PNC Hank andWachovia Hank on East BroadStreet, and Scott's Shoes andRobert Treat Deli on QuimbyStreet.

Keep these tips in mind to find the right gift for a colleague(NAPS) — Smart gift-giving during

the holidays can help keep a companybusy all year long. It's a great way toshow you appreciate your clients, con-tacts, employees or peers. It also helpsto keep the sender lop-of-mind through-out the year. Hero are a lew tips fromJeff Zbar, a small business authorityand Office Depot's (Jill (living Expert,for selecting the right gift for businessassociates-nnd leaving a lasting impres-

sion all year long.1 Tip #1; Ask the right micstions. Find• out what your recipient is interested in.Would your boss enjoy a basketball

hoop that attaches to the trash can forstress relief, or is he or she more of agolf fanatic who would appreciate anautomatic-return golf putter? For bas-kets of food or other edible treats, besure to check on food allergies and reli-gious or ethnic observances that mightprohibit your recipient from eating tnegif't.s contents. And with all gifts, makesure the recipients employer doesn'tforbid such generosity.

Tip #2: Make it a keepsake. You vvuntyour client to be reminded of yourthoughtful gesture all year long —especially when additional business

opportunities arise. Browse catalogs orwebsites for useful gifts or promotionalitems that say something about you. Adirect mail consultant might considergiving a letter opener, or the owner of agraphic design firm could give a box ofnicely designed business cards or sta-tionery. Make the gift personal andmemorable. Many retailers, have busi-ness-appropriate gifts in all priceranges that can meet your personalgift-giving needs.

Tip #3; Shop early, send early. Thelast thing you want during the holidayseason is for your gift to get lost in the

holiday shuffle. Many employees chooseto take time off during the last twoweeks of December, and you don't wantyour gift sitting in their inbox untilafter the New Year. But if you are a lastminute shopper, don't worry. You canrush deliver your gifts so they arrivejust before the holiday. Remember, alate gift is better than no gift at all.

Tip #4: Don't forget about yournssistant or secretary. It's important tothank that one person who helps you tobe successful on a daily basis. Forexample, a great gift idea is the SharpYO-P20 Personal Organizer, which

comes in a sleek PDA-style design,stores thousands of entries includingthree telephone/address books, a worldclock, calculator and scheduler. Plus,it's sold at major office supply retailersfor just under $20.

Tip #5: Give thanks year-round.Remember: The ultimate goal of holi-day gift-giving is to say thanks forsomeone's business and for them toremember you the next time they needyour services. So don't relegate this toonce a year. Remember your clientswith thank you cards or notes on a reg-ular basis.

Restoration of a decayedVictorian is a labor of love

The ad read, "GraciousVictorian waiting to be reawak-ened by the touch of a lovingbuyer." That description mighthave put off many a prospectivehomeowner accustomed to a realestate agent's euphemisms, but itwas like an aphrodisiac to Seanand Janet Crane.

The couple knew that theywanted a "fixer-upper," and theQueen Anne Victorian located at330 Mountain Avenue in West fieldlit the bill. Built in the 1890s withan offset turret, full wraparoundporch, original hardwood floorsand moldings, pocket doors, baywindows, and a secret staircase,the house had been poorly main-tained for at least 20 years.

Newspapers were stacked near-ly to the porch's ceiling, termiteshad caused extensive damagethroughout, and the leaking roofhad marred multiple rooms. Butunderneath the neglect, theCranes could see beautiful fea-tures, just waiting for restoration.

"When I firstsaw the house, Iloved i t . . . It'smy dream home,"said Janet. "Butit needed a lot ofwork."

house since they bought it fourand a half years ago. Fortunately,they're the perfect team for such amassive restoration project.

Sean, 33, is an architect withWestfield firm of Michael Zemsky,which specializes in the restora-tion of buildings and other struc-tures. Par more "hands-on" thtmthe typical architect, Sean doeselectrical, plumbing and structuralwork. As a boy he learned to usetools in his grandfather's work-shop, and as n college student, heand his roommates fixed up apart-ments and stores on the aide,

Janet, 33, is an IT consultantwith Accenture in Manhattan. Asthe self-described "only girl in thewood shop club," she first learnedhow to use tools with her father,and Inter honed her skills with acarpenter and with a group simi-lar to Habitat for Humanity.

They have needed all of theircombined experience, plus discus-sions with engineers nnd consult-ants, to carry out what amounts torebuilding the entire house fromthe inside out. "We initiallythought it would take five to sevenyears," said Janet. Now they'rethinking it will be more like sevento 10.

Thus far the Cranes have com-pleted much of the exterior workand have gutted and restored thekitchen, a bathroom, two bed-rooms, and most of the diningroom.

It took them two years to repairthe gable and copper flashings* onthe front of the house and forJanet to paint it plum with wh.tetrim. Most impressive in therestoration of the. wraparoundjxirch, which the couple labored

over for two summers and twoautumns.

Sean, who said,'There's neveran excuse not to work," describedhow they refrained the porch,removed the floor and replaced itwith mahogany. They installedseven recessed lights and replaced11 columns, the railing, lattice-work, and the skirt, which is thearea underneath the porch.

It also took Sean a jackhatnmerand four hours apiece to destroythe three sets of cement steps onthe front, side and back |x>rehps.Then, he rebuilt and widened thefront stairs to a gracious 12 feet.

The 400 white, Hat sawn balus-ters and latticework are probablythe most labor-intensive elementsof the house, and the details thatgive the porch its authenticVictorian look. After searchingthrough Victorian detail patternIxwks and looking nt other homes,Sean and Janet created their owndesign, wliich Soan scanned intoand traced over with the computer.

After creating u master tem-plate, he traced it onto one-inch byfour-inch Ixiaixls. Then he cut out

all the straightedges with atable saw and allthe curves with ascroll saw, andhe used a drillpress on theround parts.

Sean appliedthe same kind of

meticulous detail to the turret,which is now covered with 297scallop design shingles. He hand-cut the scallop design into everyone of the shingles.

As anyone who's ever beeninvolved in a restoration projectcan attest, some surprises, usuallyunpleasant, occur along the way,Over the past four and half yearsof unrelenting work, Seun andJanet have had a few, several ofwhich have actually been pleas-ant.

They learned that there aretwo sets of beautiful pocket doorsin excellent condition in betweenthe living room and dining roomand in between the foyer and liv-ing room. They also discovered anauthentic slate roof underneaththe shingles.

While gutting the kitchen, theyfound that a chimney had beencovered over. According to Sean'sgrandmother, Anno Waters ofWestfield, who Haw ii similar lay-out in Ireland, the fireplace wasoriginally a bread oven. Once thecouple stiw the chimney, theyknew they had to leave itexposed.

It took an entire year to gutnnd repair the rest of the kitchen--• during Hint time, "We did n lotof grilling (outside)," snicl Sean,And UH a result of significant ter-mite damages the Cranes had toreplace every wall stud in thekitchen and every floor joist.That meant jacking up the buckportion of tlic house on a daywhen the next door neighborswere having a large partv. "Wetried KO hard to IK; quiet!' said

Janet and Sean.The dining mom yielded some

The home of Sean and JanetCrane (abovajjls now a pictureof Victoria.ifaetlce — butwhen the Craija bought thehouse nearly five yeara ago itwas a decaying shell. The cou-ple's restoration project, whichis still ongoing, has Included anoverhaul of the bulldng'sfacade and much of the interior,and has unearthed some hid-den surprises. One of the mosttime- and labor-intensive partsof the project was the recon-struction of the wraparoundporch (below).

similar surprises. According toSean, the house was neverframed properly, which causedthe ceiling to sag dramatically.There was no support lx;am abovethe bay window; thus there wnsno support for the wall nlmvc it.So they removed the framing,installed a beam and rebuilt theexterior wall. They also took outthe floor above the dining roomand replaced it.

Currently, the dining room isalmost complete, The Craneshave added walnut stained wain-scoting and period style molding,They papered th« walls with anelegant white fabric wallpaper,which had to be applied withHtarch. Unfortunately, the. originalhardwood floors, which ran theentire length of the dining room,were not salvageable. Kemovin^them wnH tough for the couple,liecnuHP "you never si>«> flooringlike that," said Semi.

Like the, dining room, theupstairs bathroom has new walls,floors and molding. It also IUIH nreproduction high-tank toilet, anauthentic clnw foot tub thnt

to Scan's great-mini,

and a vanity .sink that came fromii New York salvage yard.Underneath it all in ;i fleur-de-lispatterned tile floor in .subtleshades of blues and yellow."Installing those tih-s togetherwas a real test of the inarritim1,"•Janet said.

Knowing that they still haveseveral years of work in front ofthem, would the Crimes everundertake such a projwt again?

"It's tough to live in constant duetand pilen uf things everywhere,"said Janet. "H'H not for everyone .,. I would do it again, but I'm notsure I'd live in it at the sametime."

Sean agreed, saying it was likelivinfj the movie "The Money Pit.""Hut since we're doing th« workourwilvns, you can clo the type ofrestoration you want . . . Somedaywe'll have furniture," lie smiled.

--- Don't miss your own party!Organization is essential for a

successful ho>t. If you're enter-taining more than eight guests,ask your best pal to swing by ahalf an hour Ix'fiuv the partykicks oil'to help with the lastminute details.

It's not a party until some-thing is broken, so be prepared.Create a clean-up kit and keep itdose at hand. Stock it with deancloths, i tub soda, stain-removerand a whiskbroom with dustpan.It will m die short work of theclean-up

He prepared with enoughfood. XoUidy likes a stmgy host,so make enough oft lie mamcourse to -irve half of the guests aM'tond helping. If the table looks abit baie. till )i in with last minute-ide dishes Couscous cooks m oneminute, prepackaged >alad greensare a snap to serve and some gw.nl

MURPHY'S LAW

GiantsStadiumstill aspecialexperience

Raiders come up empty

THE RETORDPRESS

Sitting in the press box duringthe second half of the ScotchPlains-Ridge North Jersey Section2, Group 3 championship, I lis-tened to the casual banter betweenreporters who each wondered, as Ihad, why the state high schoolfootball finals were still beingplayed at Giants Stadium.

From the press box, which feltmiles from the field, the sound ofthe gusting winds and reporterstalking on the phone to their edi-tors drowned out most of thesounds coming from the stands.The reported attendance of 4,291was initially greeted with shockand skepticism by the handful ofscribes, but when it was explainedthat the number was combinedtotal for the night's two games,belief set in again.

In a stadium that sits close to80,000 people 16 times a year forprofessional football, the scatteringof a couple thousand looked, fromthe press box, like a college lecturehall on the day beforeThanksgiving.

I have to admit when I firstwalked out on the field in the thirdquarter of the Union-Piscatawaygame before Scotch Plains' game, Isaw the tens of thousands of extraseats and wondered why thegames were still being held here. Itfelt like standing in the emptyfootprint of a mansion, gazing upand wondering what the finishedproduct would look like.

But standing on the ScotchPlains sideline for the first half, Icould tell the crowd was as loudand enthusiastic as it had been allseason. Their cheers swept acrossthe field the same way they hadrolled over Perry Tyson Field dur-ing the regular season and thesame way they had during thesemifinals at SayreviUe.

All the empty seats made for aneasy target of criticism, but aftertalking to the Scotch Plains play-era and coaches following thegame, I remembered why it was aspecial experience to play atGiants Stadium, no matter howmany empty seats there were.

It wasn't about packing every-body into the tiny confines of ahigh school field or KeanUniversity to make the back-ground look better or accentuatethe sound It was about rewardingthe accomplishments of the play-ers by giving them a shot to walkthrough the same tunnel, play onthe same Geld, in the same stadi-um, they've watched their profes-sional heroes play on for years.

The next time they see ChadPennington or Michael Strahanburst out of the tunnel, they canremember the day they did thesame thing.

The next time they see a quarterbuck or punter struggling tottdjuift to the swirling winds, they•can relay their own stories of thetime they played in the howlinggale* of Giants Stadium.

A handful of the playpn* whoparticipated in thaw giunofl thatday can, if they choose, play collrfootball at K#an or maybe* atRutmn, but it will take a lot ofwork and a whole lot of luck farany of them to play another fontball gome nt Giant* Htndium

EAST RUTHERFORD —Following an emotional andheartbreaking loss in the section-al championship game, the type ofloss that would leave most conch-es frustrated, disappointed andbewildered, Scotch I'lainsFan wood Head Coach SteveCiccotelli was actually relaxedand even smiling.

A 27-0 loss in the state titlegame, where little if anythingwent his team's way, didn't pre-vent Ciccotelli from rememberinghow great a season it was for theRaiders.

(The players) are hurtingright now," said Ciccotelli. "ButI'm not hurting because Una ia agreat group of kids.

''The tough thing about this iswe knew going in somebody isgoing home a winner and some-body is going home a loser."

It wasn't the ending theRaiders had hoped for, but in themidBt of the disappointment oflosing in the sectional champi-onship game, they could fall backon the memories of the historicseason they were able to puttogether and how the way theysurpassed everybody's expecta-tions of them.

The 10 wins Scotch Pliiiiwposted during the season were themost of any team in the progrnm'dhistory.

E wing's Raiders showed vast improvement in year twoBy DAVID LAZARUSRECORD-PRESS < 1OHRESPOND*ENT

The contnists couldn't have beenmore different and more welcome.After starting his coaching career atScotch Plains Fanwood High Schoolwith four straight losses in 2002,Kevin Ewing was determined to getthe SP-F girls soccer team ofi' to abetter start in 2003. The team suc-ceeded so well that by the time theirseason had ended in November with

a heartbreaking 1-0 defeat in thesecond round of the state tourna-ment they iiad lost only threegames, one less than in the horrificstart, in setting a school record witha L'l-3-3 mark.

The Raiders Jet everyone know-quickly that this .season would startbetter as they fought back from a 1-0 deficit to win their opener 2-1over arch rival Westfield. Leadingthe effort were two freshmen, goalieLauren Mains and midfielder Aliie

Hambleton who scored the tyinggoal. Mains followed that up with a•3-0 whitewash of long time nemesisCranford. It was the first time inschool history that the Raiders hadbeaten those two schools in thesame season and was the spring-Ijoard to a 6-0 start.

"It was important to start fast tobuild the kids' confidence," saidEwing. Although he had sevenreturning starters, only two wereseniors, co-captains Chelsea Mintz

and Michelle Fischer. The competi-tion for playing time was extremelycompetitive and was intensified byfour freshmen starters, Mains,Hambleton, and defensive playersAllie Zazzali and Lauren Weisbrod.A fifth freshman Lisa Carmada alsosaw extensive playing time.

"The freshmen brought a lot ofenergy and ability. Their skill andunderstanding of the game was areal plus," said Ewing.

"We thought we'd ho able to openup some holes and capitalize onwhat we've been doing all season,"said Baker. "They just filled theboles and we couldn't run on them.I saw open holt's then all of a sud-den a guy came in from the right orthe left and tackled mo. Wo justcouldn't catch a break or break itopen for the homorun."

Ridge took control of the gameimmediately and never let ScotchPlains back into it. The Raidersweren't a team built to come backfrom large deficits and the RedDevils put them in a quick 1-1-0hole, scoring two touchdowns in thefirst 10 minutes of the game.

after taking over on downs at theirown 20. Scotch Plains fumbled thesnap, handing the ball back toRidge at their own 28. The RedDevils tu'ed just over a minute andfour plays to score on a one-yardrun by Mullen for a 20-O lead wilh2:14 left in the half.

Scotch Plains opened the secondhalf with their t»'sl jiut-session ofthe game. Spreading the field withlliret1 wide receivers ami operatingfrom the shotgun. I he Kaiders foundmore running room and methodi-cally marched down field, convert-ing twice on fourth down to move tothe Ridge 20. But on the thirdfourth down try of the drive. Bakerwas stuffed on 4th-and-l andturned the ball back over to Ridgewith just 3:30 left in the quarter.The 15-plav drive ate eight min-utes, HO seconds oil' the clock andyielded zero points.

'The shotgun made them thinkpass and it openrd up the holes alittle more," said Baker. They werekeying on the run the wholo time sowe had to find a way to open up therun. We triod passing but it didn'treally work out well for us."

"That was our Irig chance to putpoints on the board. It took a lot outof us. But we didn't give up. we had-n't given up all year."

Automotive/Classified JViper power puts pickup into near orbitBy JERRY G ARRETTCopley News Service

You just knew, after the dia-bolically insane Viper-poweredDodge Tomahawk motorcycledebuted at last year's Detroitauto show, that Dodge's madscientists would find some-thing else, an equally outra-geous placement for the alu-minum V-10.

Behold the Dodge Ram SRT-10. It definitely is that "some-thing else." And at an MSRPof 545,000, it might be themost expensive pickup ever,but it is still the cheapest vehi-cle around with the Viperengine.

In fact, someone could buytwo of these geneticallyaltered Rams for less than oneViper SRT-10 sports car.

Besides, the purchase can bejustified to the spouse, orboss, as a real, light-duty pick-up: "Gee, the 150-mph spoilercan be easily removed fromthe tailgate area, allowingcomplete access to a fullyfunctional standard bed!"

Although this guided missileisn't officially rated by Dodgefor any towing - there's nohitch • it definitely has thepower to pull.

The Ram SRT-10 not only hasthe torque to pull a mobilehome, it will even pull a homethat's not mobile - right off itsfoundation.

Envisioning the full range ofunique things the Ram SRT-10could tow is an exercise thatcan provide hours of sadisticfun. The Ram SRT-10 is, handsdown, the most outrageouspickup ever offered for sale tothe general public.

Why would Dodge put a 505-

The Ram SRT-10 not only has the torque to pult a mobile home, it will even pull a home that's not mobiie - right off Its foundation,

cubic inch, V-10 Viper motor,with 500 horsepower and 525foot-pounds of torque, into asmall truck?

Because it could. Becausethe Dodge boys seem to have afirmly developed sense ofirreverence. Because someonewoke up one morning andasked, "Is there any reason weshould keep getting our fan-nies kicked by Ford'sLightning SVT for Truck of theYear honors?"

(Answer; No.)Dan Knott, Chrysler's direc-

tor of Performance VehicleOperations, culls the RamSRT-10 "a life-altering experi-ence."

"We knew we had to makethis truck," he says, of whatmust have been a brief inter-

nal debate over whether or notto green-light the project.

"Once we started, we felt anobligation to build somethingtruly great," he says. "It mustbe driven to be believed."

Amen. Driving it truly is aguilty pleasure.

This isn't the first timeDodge has bolted a V-10engine into an otherwise mild-mannered Ram 1500. Whenthe truck was redesigned tolook like a baby Kenworth inthe early 1990s, a cast-ironMagnum V-10 was available.

But Ram and Viper fans bris-tled when any attempt wasmade to call it a "Viper clone"engine, or "Viper-based" oreven "Viper-inspired."

There might have been roomfor argument back then, but

not now.Dodge re-engineered the alu-

minum V-10 for the redesignedViper that debuted last year.Except for revised throttlelinkage and a one-off oil pan,the rest of the Ram SRT-10's V-10 is straight from the newViper.

Dodge calls this pickup theworld's first "4x5," because ilnot only has the aforemen-tioned 500-500-500 block-horsepower-torque combo,they've also thrown in a 508-watt stereo system.

A massive subwoofer lurkingbetween the luscious, deepleather buckets is all the tip-off anyone needs to know thatthe aural experience insidewill be able to stand up to theground-breaking (literally)

performance outside.In a lot of ways, this pickup

is a much more civilized appli-cation for the Viper enginethan it is in the sports car.

Dodge has nicely tweakedthe suspension with fiveBilstein monotubu shocks,stiffur springs from and back,stronger suspension geometry,an axle hop damper, 22-inchwheels and /-Kitted PirelliScorpion tires.

hngine heal is managedbetter than it is in the blazinghot sports car, which has thosescorching side-sill mountedexhausts and hood vents thatcan par-broil unsuspectingoccupants in a single burnout.

The blast from the pickup'scavernous pipes is discreetlyrouted underneath the vehicle

and HIM under the hackbumper, so - ntilgalers beware!

The six-spt-t'd manual trans-mission is iVstooiU'ii with asupet-cool Hurst "Double 11"shifter. The special low-ratioDana li() ivnr riul is capable ofNHRA-siyk> launches and five-second O-bO linifs. (leurboxiind roar end arc linked by aspecial 4.5-inch aluminum dri-vc-shafi that looks like il couldhandle large-caliber RlHJs.

The front clip is subtly butunmistakably roslyk'd, to givethe- Rain SRT-10 a menacinglook all its own, and the mailpresence of a Union Pacificlocomotive.

la all, tlu- Ram SRT-10 is theperfect truck for your haulingneeds. Especially hauling, uh,;demure.
