The vote followed an emotion- charged debate between support- ers of the building program and those who want the board to pre- sent the public with alternatives to the proposal adding multi-storied additions to the two schools. The board action means detailed construction plans will be submitted for approval to the state Department of Education. After the agency reviews the plans and calculates any state financial assis- tance, the board will vote whether to proceed with plans to present a bond referendum to finance the new construction. The earliest a referendum could go before voters is December. The board’s architects have said the price tag for the program could run between $38 and $44 million. The original plans presented last month were estimated to cost as much as $56.8 million before being scaled back by the architects. The dissenting votes came from members Joshua Scharf and Bren- da White. Although Scharf supported the proposed high school construc- tion, he said middle school plans did not address a number of obsta- cles. He also maintained the pro- posal would bring the amount of money spent renovating the school over the past decade to $26 mil- lion. “I don’t think this site will ever deliver $26 million worth of value,” Scharf said. The current proposal, he added, “does not deliver in terms of safety.” White said the township is at a “critical juncture.” In light of reports the main state funding pro- gram for school construction has run dry, she said she cannot sup- port doubling the $40 million of debt the district already carries. Board members in favor of the building program made the point that the instructional space is des- perately needed and some alterna- tives, such as housing an overflow of middle school students in trail- ers, would result in far greater dis- ruption than construction outside the building. Middle school principal Michael Cahill told the audience that over- crowding has already begun to adversely impact instructional pro- grams as well as the quality of life at the school. During the public comment portion of the meeting, however, many residents asked the board to reconsider the building proposal or offer alternatives, and many stated Memorial Day parade and closings planned The township’s annual Memorial Day parade kicks off at 1 p.m. Monday at the Short Hills train station. Following the same route as last year, the parade will proceed east on Chatham Road to Short Hills Avenue, south on Short Hills Avenue to Millburn Avenue, east on Millburn Avenue through downtown to Whittingham Terrace, and then into Taylor Park for closing ceremonies. Motorists can expect traffic delays along the parade route. The parade will take place rain or shine. Graveside services to honor fallen veterans from all branches of the country’s military forces will take place at 11 a.m. at St. Stephen’s cemetery, followed by a graveside service at 11:30 a.m. in St. Rose of Lima cemetery. The Guy R. Bosworth American Legion Post 140 encourages residents to attend both services, as they are intended to represent the true meaning of Memorial Day. In addition, the graves of veterans in the two cemeteries will be decorated with flags and flowers this evening at 5 o’clock. Joining in the effort will be Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts from St. Rose. If a veteran’s grave is not marked or is missed, call Rick Dority, past commander, at (973) 258-0166. In observance of the holiday, post offices and Town Hall will be closed Monday. There will be no recycling or garbage pickup that day. The Millburn Free Public Library will be closed Sunday and Mon- day. In addition, local banks will be closed Monday. Township schools will be closed tomorrow as well as Monday. Go, Dogs, Go By Harry Trumbore of The Item Recent opening of dog parks in Bloomfield and Livingston have prompted local officials to call for a dog park to be built locally. A resolution sponsored by Sal- vatore J. Bate and approved by the Township Committee May 17, urges Essex County officials to cre- ate an area, preferably in South Mountain Reservation, where dog owners can exercise their pets. Bate said this week copies of the resolution were being sent as well to the governing bodies of West Orange, Maplewood and South Orange, all of which border the reservation, in hopes of recruiting support for a dog run in the coun- ty-managed park. Bate said he went to the Essex County open house held Saturday at Turtle Back Zoo and spoke with the county’s director of parks, Dan Salvante, and County Executive Joseph DiVincenzo. Both were receptive to the idea of a South Mountain dog park, Bate reported. For his part, Salvante said Tues- day his department will review the idea and check to see if it is con- sistent with the master plan for the reservation developed three years ago. “These parks get mixed reviews,” he said, explaining residents living in the vicinity do not always look with favor on construction of dog parks. He also said the scope of construction can range from basic fencing to parks with running water and obstacle courses. Bate said the park he envisions would be simple. “We just need fencing and a gate. People would bring their own water,” he said. Rules would be established and posted at the site. The Committeeman also main- tains the cost to the county or municipalities could be defrayed by contributions from veterinarians and manufacturers of pet foods Standin’ on the Corner CLOCK DEDICATION—Members of the community applaud as the town’s clock is unveiled during a dedication ceremony Monday. The new clock, situated at the corner of Main and Essex streets, was presented to the township by business owners and residents David and Nancy Stone. The township constructed the surrounding clock plaza. Officials unveil new town clock By Patricia Harris of The Item The new town clock at the cor- ner of Main and Essex streets was unveiled Monday evening to an admiring crowd of approximately 40 residents, business owners, political leaders, administrators and members of the Public Works Department. In a short dedication ceremony on the newly built clock plaza, township businessman and resi- dent David Stone presented what he called a “magnificent clock” to the township on behalf of himself and his wife, Nancy. A crane lifted a blue tarp off the head of the pedestal clock and onlookers applauded. Mayor Thomas C. McDermott offered a few remarks, and then members of the crowd headed to Martini Bistro & Bar for a celebra- tion. During the course of the evening, McDermott read a procla- mation thanking the Stones for their contribution to the commu- nity. Stone, the owner of Nancy and David Fine Jewels on Essex Street, said he and his wife wanted to con- vey their sincere pleasure in pre- senting the clock to the municipal- ity. “It has been two years since we brought the idea to the township, and I believe we would all agree it was worth the wait,” he noted. Stone said the gift of the clock is a commitment to the continued redevelopment of the downtown and encouraged all residents, espe- cially the business community, to continue making Millburn a vibrant shopping destination. “We hope the clock will prompt additional improvements to our downtown environment and her- ald the cooperation that we, as a township and business communi- ty, will enjoy with governmental leaders of our town,” Stone said. “We look forward to these contin- ued improvements of the business district within Millburn, and mak- ing it a more desirable place to shop, dine, or just take a stroll.” He also said in years from now, the clock will become a historical landmark and a dignified reminder of current efforts. McDermott reacted to the unveiling by saying the clock is “absolutely spectacular” and turned out even better than expect- ed. Then he quipped, “I think Nan- cy’s disappointed her name isn’t bigger than David’s on the clock.” Turning serious again, the may- or said the clock and its surround- ing plaza will become a gathering place for users of the downtown and expressed his gratitude to the Stones. He also said the plaza is not ful- ly complete yet, as a signboard and three benches donated by town- ship businesses are to be installed on the plaza in mid- to late June. Members of the Public Works Department set the 16-foot high pedestal clock, the centerpiece of the clock plaza, in place May 19, with the assistance from a service technician from the manufacturer, Verdin Company in Cincinnati, Ohio. Department members have built the plaza within the past few months at an estimated cost of approximately $30,000. Township resident and architect John Buchholz designed the space. Patricia Harris/staff photographer West Point cadet tours schools By Harry Trumbore of The Item As the Memorial Day weekend approaches, township resident Colby Horowitz is spending the week speaking to students about the life he has chosen, the life of a soldier. The Millburn High School alumnus is finishing up his second year at the United State Military Academy at West Point. While classmates are participating in year’s end ceremonies at the acad- emy, Horowitz has been sent home early as part of a program run by the Cadet Public Relations Coun- cil. Horowitz, however, empha- sized he is not recruiting. “I’m trying to increase aware- ness, answer questions and give an accurate picture of life at West Point,” he said. “We only want peo- ple who want to be there and go into the process with the most information.” On Monday, he visited the guid- ance office at Millburn High School and later in the week he was scheduled to meet with high school classes in West Orange and Maplewood. Guidance counselor Dale Fritchman said only one current senior is headed to a service acad- emy—the Air Force Academy in Colorado—and one student is in the process of enlisting in the armed forces. In a community with a strong emphasis on earning admission to four-year colleges, there is not as large a recruiting pool for the ser- vice academies as in other parts of the country, especially during a time of war, Frichchman said. “Recruitments for the National Guard and army are all running a little short,” Fritchman said. Horowitz cited two reasons for entering the academy. “I wanted to serve my country and do something important,” he explained, “and I wanted to chal- lenge myself.” His parents initially were sur- prised by his choice, Horowitz said. “They were not too keen on it,” he said. Now, however, they have become more enthusiastic due to the academy’s programs to involve parents in their children’s educa- tion. According to Horowitz, life for cadets is as physically demanding as it is academically rigorous. Although he is majoring in Amer- ican politics and English, he said all cadets have to complete a required sequence of engineering courses as well. Horowitz, who played tennis and soccer and ran cross country in high school, said plebes, or first year students, have to attend and pass a summertime basic training course before they even begin classes at West Point. As a plebe, he had to take swim- ming, boxing and military move- ments, or gymnastics, and through- out their four years cadets have to pass strenuous fitness tests on a regular basis. Horowitz, who was on the high school debate team, has continued debating at the academy. He said he enjoys traveling with the army team to take on such rivals as Columbia, New York University and Georgetown and he and his teammate were ranked third in the country this year at the junior var- sity level. The balance between academics and physical training for cadets is evident in how the cadet is struc- turing his summer. Horowitz will spend one month undergoing air- borne training at Fort Benning, Ga., then intern for a month with Harry Trumbore/staff photographer BACK FOR A VISIT—West Point cadet Colby Horowitz, left, visits with Millburn High School guidance counselors Sherian Edgreen and Dale Fritchman Monday.

A township resident was injuredSaturday afternoon when the topof the dump truck he was drivingon Ridgewood Road struck therailroad bridge near the intersec-tion with Rosedale Avenue.

The force of the impact causedthe truck to roll over on the pas-senger side, police said.

Township firefighters arrivingon the scene reportedly found thedriver, Leonardo Bianco, 46, sittingon the side of the road sufferingfrom facial cuts. Firefightersadministered first aid to Bianco,who was later transported by theMillburn-Short Hills VolunteerFirst Aid Squad to a local hospitalfor treatment. A passenger in thetruck was not injured, reports said.

A witness told police the truckbed was raised two or three feet atthe time of the accident.

Firefighters had to spreadabsorbent on the roadway to soakup spilled motor oil and hydraulicfluid. Only after workers from NewJersey Transit arrived to inspect thebridge and assess possible damageto the electrical conduit mountedon the bridge were firefightersallowed to return to headquarters.

Firefighters were drawn toRoute 78 in Union Saturday short-ly after 10 a.m. to battle a car fire.They found the vehicle fullyengulfed in flame by the time theyarrived and immediately checkedto make sure all occupants wereout of the car. According toreports, firefighters had to pry openthe engine compartment beforethey could extinguish the blaze.

The driver reportedly told firepersonnel he heard a loud pop ashe was driving, then saw andsmelled smoke. He pulled onto theshoulder and he had just exited thecar when it burst into flames. Hehad recently changed the oil, hetold inspectors investigating theincident.

Firefighters responded to arequest for assistance around 11a.m. Saturday from the Union FireDepartment in fighting an under-ground blaze near a business officeon Vauxhall Road. Afterwards, firepersonnel searched the surround-ing area with a gas detector tocheck for toxic fumes or carbonmonoxide released by the fire.

Fire personnel investigating anactivated alarm in the kitchen ofBasilico on Millburn Avenue May16 reported finding burn and charmarks on the hood over the broil-er. Occupants of the apartmentsabove the restaurant were evacu-ated after a check of the ventilationsystem with a thermal imagingcamera found higher than normallevels of heat.

Although firefighters said therewas no fire in the hood and venti-lation system, they reported an

excessive build-up of grease mayhave caused the extinguishers toactivate.

OPINION

Coming events

It’s about timeWith the installation of a 16-foot high pedestal clock at

the corner of Main and Essex streets, the downtown dis-trict has a new look, and it’s a welcome one.

Located at the first major intersection encountered bymotorists traveling south on Main Street, the clock servesas a gateway and a landmark. The plaza surrounding thetimepiece, framed with landscaping, opens up the cornerand offers the eye relief from the mass of buildings androws of parked cars.

We share the hope expressed by several officials at thededication this week that the new space will serve as agathering place for the users of the downtown. Still to beinstalled, a signboard sponsored by the Downtown Mill-burn Development Association will provide a map of thedistrict and benches will offer a place to wait for a friendor eat an ice cream cone.

We’d like to praise the public-private partnership thatpropelled the project. Township business owner and res-ident David Stone and his wife, Nancy, approached thetownship two years ago about making such a gift.Through negotiations with township officials, the gift wasaccepted and plans made to construct the plaza.

Kudos also go to architect John Buchholz, a townshipresident who has long been involved in seeking the bestuse for the corner. He donated his services to design andoversee the construction of the plaza. And while we’reat it, praise should go to members of the Department ofPublic Works who used their expertise to make the plansa reality.

The new clock should serve as a source of pride and aspur to the continued redevelopment of the downtown,making Millburn a vibrant destination.

Day of remembranceLike many other holidays, Memorial Day has been

recast into something completely different than original-ly intended.

It’s now the day that unofficially kicks off summer. It’sthe day to bring out the white shoes, to shop for sales, tocrank up the grill and enjoy a day off from work orschool.

Take a moment Monday to remember the true mean-ing of the day—honoring those who have made the ulti-mate sacrifice for their country. It shouldn’t be hard to do.Every day, the list of casualties in Iraq grows. The sacri-fices being made by men and women in our armed ser-vices are splashed across the front pages of the newspa-per and broadcast on the evening news.

If you can, attend the township parade on Monday. Atleast, stop and say a prayer for the fallen and, for that mat-ter, those who are serving in the face of danger.

Reusing space

Editor, The Item:Over the last few months, I’ve

tried to understand the rationalebehind the various proposals thesuperintendent of schools and theBoard of Education have offered tothe public to address the increasedstudent enrollment that will causeovercrowding at the middle andhigh school.

The proposal du jour, to teardown the most recent addition tothe middle school and replace itwith a larger addition, has me reel-ing with disbelief. To get rid of abuilding the taxpayers are current-ly funding and will continue tofund for decades via debt service,and then ask those same taxpayersto fund its replacement, along withother costly building projects, issheer folly.

To prevent overcrowding atboth schools, wouldn’t it be morelogical to remove one grade fromeach and educate them in a sepa-rate building? If the district weregoing to tear down a building, itwould make more sense to razethe Ed Center and replace it withan eighth and ninth grade building,using some of the parking areas, ifneeded. This way, no studentswould have to be moved or incon-venienced during the constructionof new space.

While the administration wouldneed to lease office space for awhile, it’s possible that adequatespace for its operation could beincorporated in the proposed newTown Hall or town library expan-sion plans.

In a new building, the instruc-tional program for the eighth andninth graders could be vastly dif-ferent if the district were to create

a specialized curriculum, similar tothat of a magnet school. These stu-dents would have access to thegyms, library, cafeteria and othercentral rooms and services of theadjacent high school, althoughsome expansion at the high schoolwould still be needed, and theschedules of the eighth and ninthgraders would have to be adjustedto allow for travel time betweenbuildings.

If the administration reallywants to show the public that itcan “think out of the box,” it shouldcreate this new building and newprogram from scratch. The schoolcould be called “The Max” becauseit would be designed to maximizestudent potential, maximize theuse of an existing district-ownedproperty and maximize our localtaxpayers’ investment.

I know that previous adminis-trations and boards have rejectedthe use of the Ed Center for edu-cational space, but now that we’refaced with the prospect of spend-ing more than $40 million for newbuilding projects, it’s time to findways to make this idea, or a varia-tion of it, work and reduce thatprice tag.

Tax relief for seniors

Editor, The Item:At one of the Board of Educa-

tion’s special meetings on the pro-posed middle and high schoolsconstruction bond, I heard ayounger resident comment, inwords to the effect, that senior res-idents concerned about the taximpact of approval of a construc-tion bond should basically go tothe Township Committee to lookfor property tax relief.

While I am not a senior myself,it is my opinion that comments ofthis nature not only reflect a mis-conception of the facts but canseem patronizing and unapprecia-tive of the past and present contri-butions of the community’sseniors. After all, the seniors in ourcommunity have been longstand-ing taxpayers and are the peopleresponsible for establishing thequality of life in the township thathas drawn many of us to live here.

According to the TownshipCommittee, there is no specific

property tax relief that can be legal-ly supplied to seniors for schoolconstruction bonds, and even ifthere were, it would simply shifttheir share of that burden to theremainder of township residents.

Those seniors remaining in thecommunity have had to absorb a1999 school construction bond, a2002 school construction bond,and now a 2005 school bond thatis not likely to include state aid,based upon demographic evalua-tions and decision-making exer-cised by members of the Board ofEducation. Like all township resi-dents, they have every right toquestion the board’s judgment andmake up their own minds as toconstruction needs, possibly moreso, having footed the town tax billfor so long.

When people speak at a schoolboard meeting and suggest theexistence of million dollar homesin the township, of their ownershipof them, justifies expensive andextensive school construction pro-grams the entire communityshould bear, they might first wantto volunteer to do their fair shareto keep our community multi-gen-erational by reducing the generalschool tax burden. Clearly thisseems to be something they canafford to do.

Unless and until people in thecommunity volunteer to pay suchitems as school activity fees, cour-tesy busing costs and additionalcharges based on their specificusage of the educational system,which shows a legitimate concernfor keeping our community afford-able for seniors, they might want torefrain from giving seniors or oth-ers advice on how they needrespond to the school constructionbond when finalized.

Logging inDousing Old SmokyBy Eveline Speedieof The Item

Most families have myths thatare passed down from generationto generation. They may not all beon the scale of Camelot and thelegend of King Arthur or the Greekgods but myths about extraordi-nary deeds and unusual abilitiesresurface through the years when-ever relatives gather. In our fami-ly, we don’t hand down myths asmuch as we hand down missions—or one particular mission, to beexact. The goal for the past 35years or so has been to get AuntieSheila, my twin sister, to stopsmoking.

Of course, she blames her butthabit all on me. She says I startedher on the road to ruin many yearsago—now that’s a myth—but I hadthe good sense to stop while sheblithely carried on. This persistenceon her part has led every childborn into the fold for the past 35years to face a challenge so intimi-dating that only two made anyinroads and that came at their ownruin.

My son at the tender age of 6turned liar and thief for a brief peri-od in his life because of his aunt.Whenever she came to visit us, weprotested about her smoking. Oneday, Sam hid several packs andwhen it came time for her to leaveSheila searched fruitlessly for thedemon sticks but to no avail.

“I’m sure I brought more packswith me,” she said, good-naturedly.“You didn’t see them, did you,Sam?”

“No, not me, Auntie Sheila,”came the reply from that cherubicface.

Of course, weeks later theunopened packs came to light.

“I hid them,” the guilt-riddenchild admitted. A most noble deedtarred by the ignominy of deceit.And all because of the evil weed.

Eleven years later anotherchampion of right was born.Nephew Christopher, spurred onby cries of anguish and distresswhenever match was taken to tarand nicotine in the family’s pres-ence, reached the point where hecould endure no more. He lockedhis auntie, who was babysittinghim, out of his house at the age of10.

“Uh, Chris. Let me in. Thedoor’s locked.”

“No,” came the plaintive wail.“You stink. You can’t come back inuntil you stop smoking.”

“Chris, it’s dark and it’s cold. Letme in.”

“No. Not a chance. Beg all youwant.”

Deliverance came when thechild’s parents returned. Less hard-hearted than their son, they escort-ed Auntie Sheila back into theirabode and gave their son a reluc-tant rebuke.

The child’s actions were notwithout notice, however, and pret-ty soon all us adults started takingbolder steps.

There had been no smoking per-mitted indoors at any of our resi-dences for years. Now we declaredthe immediate vicinity of ourhomes “smoke-free” territory. Oneof my other sisters even relegatedthe smoking area to the street.

“And don’t leave any butts lyingthere,” she commanded. “I’mwatching.”

We instituted a “don’t come

near us for 10 minutes after smok-ing” rule and followed through onother harsh measures.

No mercy despite the weather.Smoking was kept strictly out-doors. No kisses or hugs untildelousing was implemented. Noruns to the store if the cigarettesupply was depleted.

This new “tough love” policyremained in effect for two yearsbefore Sheila finally acquiesced. Itwas either that or a particularlybad cold that forced her to stopsmoking temporarily, but one daytwo months ago she announcedshe was ready to quit.

“Yippee!” all us family mem-bers cried. “Bravo!”

We tried to bolster her spiritsand provide encouragement asshe sought a doctor’s help to quitthe filthy habit. She started med-ication and we thought we wereseeing the end of the rainbow. Nosuch luck, however. One night-mare ended and another began.

The sweet, good-natured sisterI knew became a demon, lashingout at any perceived slight. Callscame at all hours. Pitiful calls.

“I can’t do it. I want a cig.”“No you don’t. You’re strong.”“No, I’m not. I’m weak. Weak,

I tell you.”This has been going on for

three days. Another three daysand I’m going to solidify a badhabit of my own. I’ve just got twofingers left with decent nail lengthon them. And then I start on thetoes.

School

School costs

Editor, The Item:I would like to offer a different

perspective on the township’s tax-es, as regards the educational com-ponent, than what we have heardfrom our Board of Education(BOE). If I could paraphrase theBOE’s position through this pastadministration: This is what a first-rate educational system costs, whyworry because our home prices arebeing driven higher due to the rep-utation of the schools, and reallythis tax issue is otherwise just anuisance.

My perspective is that propertytaxes are the issue that is changingour community—it is the tail that iswagging this dog. In fact taxes areessentially determining whichhouses are appreciating, wherepeople live in town, and it is dri-ving not only elderly but also entirefamilies out of town.

I first take exception with theBOE’s basic premise that homeprices are appreciating throughoutthe town. Some certainly are—mainly the lower-end-pricedhomes, which are still quite expen-sive, because they provide a bettereducational value and entry pointinto town. The high-end priceshave gone through the roof, how-ever. That is not appreciation butlarge McMansions resulting fromknockdowns—and the main factorthat inhibits their sales is taxes—$100,000 a year on a $5 millionhouse.

Many of us in the middle-pricedarea, which might be expensive forentry level and too much to knockdown, have seen literally no appre-ciation with our taxes increasingover 100 percent in less than fiveyears. This ever-growing propertytax burden is an albatross on ourhome values and will push us tomove sooner than expected fromthe area. And the faster you pushpeople out of town who are notgetting value from the system,replacing them with larger families,the faster you push the school pop-ulation growth curve and henceschool costs.

One key measure of value is theaverage class size, which I under-stand to be 18 throughout thetownship. My daughter is enteringkindergarten this fall at Hartshorn,where they are currently projectingkindergarten class sizes of 22, withonly one teacher in the room forthe entire day and a part-time assis-tant. Does this sound appropriatefor kindergartners? Is this value?

And I’m not sure if our educa-tional cost reflects the cost of asuperior school system. I was aproduct of this system and I believein it. But I’ve always felt that theSAT scores and number of Nation-al Merit Scholars, rather thanbeing a result of superior educa-tors, was more a function of thepresence of many bright people intown and a supportive environ-ment that exists here. We do havea great school system, but onceagain, let’s also keep in perspectivewhat drives what. On the whole,our schools do a good job of takinground stones and rolling themdownhill.

What I do know is the cost ofour schools is changing the face ofour community and driving wholives where and who leaves. I canonly hope that with a change inBOE administration, our leaderscan be free and inspired to take afresh look at this with a realisticperspective.

Each year an additional 45,000women in the U.S. who have hadmammograms are walking aroundwith breast cancer and don’t know it!

Women who come to MontclairBreast Center for regular examina-tions, have a ninety-four percentchance of detecting breast cancerat stage zero or stage I ! Personalattention and a holistic approachbring you the peace of mind thatcomes from knowing your doctorsare uncompromising when itcomes to the quality of your care.**

Our nationally recognized, dedicat-ed team of breast imagers andbreast surgeons uses the mostsophisticated technologies, culmi-nating in our new Breast MRI. Incollaboration with GE MedicalSystems, our new full strength 1.5 Tsigna magnet has been equippedwith EXCTE software technology.

This is now truly the world’s “Gold Standard” of Breast Imaging, and is the only one in the tri-state area.

Breast MRI uses no radiation. Instead, radiofrequency waves in a magnetic field create hundreds of images of thebreast. These images are extremely precise. Early detection occurs even in women with dense mammographic pat-terns. It is well-known that mammography fails to detect breast cancer in up to 50% of women with dense fibrog-landular patterns. Breast MRI excels in this situation, detecting even the smallest of cancers. The earlier the detec-tion, the greater the chance that chemotherapy can be avoided. But technology alone is not enough. The expert-ise and experience of the team administering and inter-preting that technology makes the real difference.

Montclair Breast Center has earned the reputationas a premier, multidisciplinary breast center, whichspecializes in proactive breast healthcare, risk-reduction techniques and the early detection andtreatment of breast cancer. We are committed toproviding better breast care than anywhere.

119 Main St. - named for thefirst Christian martyr, consecrat-ed in 1855. The architect, aptlynamed J.B. Priest, wrought asplendid example of AmericanPointed Gothic, sometimescalled Carpenter Gothic. Nowwhite, it was originally painted intones of beige to resemble Goth-ic stone. The slate roof has anecclesiastical pattern; theclerestory beneath is decoratedwith quatrefoil windows symbol-izing the cross. Some of thestained glass windows weredesigned by local architect JoyWheeler Dow, who worshippedat St. Stephen’s.

The church is not a New Eng-

land church-on-the-green. The“high church” founders, propo-nents of the Oxford Movement,wanted a building related to themedieval church and newly fash-ionable American Gothicseemed appropriate. The sup-porting oak timbers were hewnfrom trees felled on or near thesite. Extending behind thechurch is the Parish House(1898), a shingled structure witha large 1961 addition.

Israel Condit (1802-97),whose hat-manufacturing patentfostered the industrial growth ofthe town in the mid-18th centu-ry, donated the land for St.Stephen’s.

1. Taylor Park

The 13 acres comprisingTaylor Park were assembled byMrs. John Taylor and dedicatedto the town in 1924 in memoryof her husband. Frederick LawOlmstead, son of the man whodesigned Central Park, did theinitial landscape plan of thearea that was once the site ofthe heaviest concentration ofthe town’s mills. Strollingthrough the park today, enjoy-ing its ponds and bridges, treesand shrubs, is a leisurely way toponder the importance of waterin the development of the town.North of the bridge is a newwater-efficient garden includingholly, juniper, ilex, etc. An exer-cise trail rings the complex.

135 Main St. - was probablyoriginally painted in colors simi-lar to those on the church. Builtin 1869, it is Pointed Gothicstyle with a gabled roof andlancet windows that compli-ment St. Stephen’s. The archi-tect was C. Harrison Condit, norelation to Israel. Bargeboardscarved with quatrefoils, Tudorchimneys, paired side gables,horizontal window trim, andpendants illustrate the whimsi-cality of this style.

From 1800 to 1900, the areabetween Main Street and the

senior high school was amelange of small farms, gardensand an occasional house. Grad-ually more houses, new shops,and factories filled in the openspaces. James Elliot Lindsleywrote in “A Short History of St.Stephen’s Church”:

As a new century dawned(1900), the town of Millburnpresented a far different picture(than it does today)... MillburnAvenue was a broad, unpavedthoroughfare, heavy with dustin summer and at other timesdeep in mud. Old Short Hills

Road was a country lane whichbegan in Livingston and mean-dered down the hill into Mill-burn...and twisted a narrow waypast St. Stephen’s Churchtoward Springfield. Oppositethe church, on Main Street,there were rows of deterioratingtenements which had been builtfor factory workers in a formerera.

From Lackawanna Placeeast to Maplewood, only a fewhouses interrupted the fields.Rural Millburn coexisted withits industries.

9. Mount Zion AMEChurch

54 Church St., 1902. Ameri-can Vernacular influenced byAmerican Gothic, the church hasa shingled exterior, a pair oflancet windows in the facadeand four narrow windows withtriangular tops on each side.The congregation was formed in1881 by a minister and two com-municants. As it grew, membersmet in a local blacksmith shopuntil the church was completed.

The township jail was at thecorner of Church and SpringStreets until it was torn downin 1886.

10. 130 Spring St.

c. 1872. The original 3-baydesign has been enlarged by anltalianate side addition. The dou-ble, panelled door is typical ofthe period, but few remain in thisarea.

Now residential, Taylor Streetwas a busy shopping center inthe mid-19th to early 20th cen-turies. Stores included a dealer in“groceries, flour, feed, grain andhay,” a liquor store, a fertilizerand grain store, a shoe shop,an iron monger, etc. The onlycommercial establishments arethe two buildings at the cornersof Main and Taylor Streets (formerly the site of a number of antiques shops).

11. 22 Taylor St.Site of the former Tichenor

Iron and Rail Company. The ironforge allegedly is still on the site.

12. 30 Taylor St.

A 3-bay, shingled homesteadset back on a large lot.

13. 28 Taylor St.

c. 1872. A large 3-bay home-stead with decorative porch trim.

14. 25 Taylor St.

c. 1915. Shingle style withround windowed front bay andan angled side bay.

15. 26 Taylor St.

This is one of the earlieststructures in the area. The rightside was built before 1850 andthe left side added in 1859, toaccommodate a hat shop. Theoversize eyebrow or frieze win-dows under the roof and theside-gable construction aretypical of late Colonial design.

16. 18 Taylor St.

c.1874. An unembellished 3-bay homestead relatively unal-tered except for new siding androofing. The half-width instead offull-width porch changes itsappearance.

17. 12 Taylor St.,Neighborhood House

Pre-CiviI War, once the resi-dence of the Taylors for whomthe street and the park arenamed. They donated it to thetown in 1918 as a headquartersfor community services. Thehouse is an eclectic blend ofGothic Revival and ltalianatewith corbel bracketing under theroof, curved windows and bays.The unusual decoration underthe windows and the pendantsunder the gables illustrate thedexterity of local carpenters whooften added fanciful embellish-ments that can’t be described inprecise architectural terms.

18. 132 Spring St.,First Baptist Church

This Gothic Revival churchwith a tower, buttresses and tur-rets was completed in 1869. Theoriginal board-and-batten exteri-or was replaced in 1888 by Lamb& Rich, an architectural firm thatwas a leading proponent of theShingle style. Now green withwhite trim, it was once painteddark brown. The south side ofMillburn Avenue between theBaptist Church and the Educa-tion Center is a pleasantstreetscape of homestead housesinterspersed with homes built inthe early 1900s.

19. 402. 404, 406,408 Millburn Ave.

c. 1872. 3-bay homesteads.Note windows and additions,especially the third story windowon #406.

412 Millburn Avenue c. 1872.A good example of an unalteredtemple homestead.

418 Millburn Avenue c. 1920.Gambrel roof; pillared porch,flared window in front.

426, 428, 430 MillburnAvenue c. 1905. 3-bay home-stead houses.

20. 431 MillburnAve., Bodwell House

The house is a good exampleof Carpenter Gothic with Ital-ianate trim but was originally asimple farmhouse. Rough hewnbeams used in the front threerooms “indicate that this sectionwas constructed before 1830when post-and-girt framing wascommon. By mid-century bal-loon framing replaced the older,more laborious method. Thehouse is named for a mill ownerwho made alterations and addi-tions in the 1860s. It has six fire-places, including one in the base-ment for cooking. The shingledwell is one of the oldest stillremaining in Millburn.

4. 17 Rector St.Dating from shortly after the

Civil War, this gabled stuccohouse with slate roof is an earlyexample of stucco applied towood framing. The techniquebecame widespread after 1900.The porch with bracketed sup-ports and modillions under theeaves was added later.

Dozens of houses in this partof Millburn were built by or forfactory and mill workers. Thebasic plan is of a steep frontgable roof over a 2- or 3-bayfacade sited on a small, narrowlot. Quick and inexpensive toconstruct, it was eminentlypractical for worker housing.The design is known as a “folkhouse” or “temple homestead.”Many have been extensivelyaltered over the years.

5. 39 Rector St.c. 1872, is a good example of

a 3-bay temple homestead witha lean-to at the back and a par-tial cross side gable that wastypical of larger houses. Match-ing, rounded third story win-dows in the sides and front car-ry out the basic plan.

6. 94, 96 Rector St.

c. 1872. Side by side; onehouse is 3-bay, 2-1/2 story; theother is a 2-bay, 2-story.

The west end of RectorStreet, abutting the high schoolathletic field, was the site of BillSmith’s binder-board works. Adrawing of the power wheelfrom this factory was adoptedas the town logo in 1939.

7. 49, 45 Blaine St.are almost identical shingled

houses with New England gam-brel roofs and shallow bays onthe left side.

8. 35 Blaine St.

faces north and has the sameset-back as houses on ChurchStreet, indicating that it wasbuilt on a hypothetical exten-sion of that street. The frontgable is decorated with saw-tooth shingles.

Millburn-Short Hills Walkabout

“Downtown” in the 21st century may nolonger be the focus of economic and socialactivities in a town. Cars, malls, supermar-kets and widely scattered job sites havemade older definitions obsolete. Millburn

center is an example of how the character ofmany small towns has changed, especiallysince World War II. Walking the streets isthe best way to understand how the past hasshaped the present.

387 Millburn Ave. was once the home of Gentzel’s grocery store, considered one of the finest stores in the area inthe late 19th century.

Town Hall on Millburn Avenue was once home to the police and fire departments.Fire trucks can be seen here in the bays that housed the fire department’s horsesand wagons. The openings were later converted to windows.

These eight acres wherescores of Millburn notables liewere donated by Israel Condit.The caretaker’s “lodge” near theentrance is pointed Gothic stylewith a patterned roof similar tothat of the church. Circumstan-tial evidence and local legendsay that the architect was JamesRenwick, who designed St.Patrick’s Cathedral in New York

and the Smithsonian Museumin Washington, D.C. James wasthe brother of Edward, who wasa prolific inventor and lived inMillburn. Harry Devlin wrote ofthe caretaker’s lodge in ToGrandfather’s House We Go:“… the lodge lacks only board-and-batten to be a dictionary ofthe Gothic Revival in America.It has pointed eaves with foliat-

ed bargeboards; it has pendantsand finials, picturesque chim-neys and diamond-paned win-dows with Tudor hood mold-ings.”

Look for the graves ofHartshorns and Whittinghams,Campbells, Tichenors andMeekers as you stroll throughthe serene and secluded ceme-tery on a fine day.

21. St. Stephen’s Cemetery

Although Masses were beingsaid in a home on Old ShortHills Road as early as 1847, St.Rose formed as a congregationin Springfield in 1852. In 1869the original clapboard churchwas moved from Springfield to

the present site of the churchand a converted hat factoryserved as a convent and school.

By 1890 the church hadgrown so much that a largeRomanesque church and brickconvent school were built. Only

the convent school remains.The present church and rectorywere built in 1952 in classicAmerican Colonial style.

Return on Millburn Avenuein an easterly direction and notethe high school (see #23).

23. Senior HighSchool

Built in 1956 to replace thepresent middle school on OldShort Hills Road. It was designedby the architectural firm of Hep-pel-Seaman and has beenenlarged and altered severaltimes.

24. 387 Millburn Ave.The first occupant of this late

19th century commercial build-ing was Gentzel’s grocery store.The brick and clapboard exterior,front gabled roof, and rear shedare faithful to the original plandespite the altered facade win-dows and the added porch.

25. 380 Millburn Ave.Little is known about this late

Colonial 3-bay structure. Theeyebrow windows, side gableconstruction and shingle exteriorsuggest a date around 1800.

22. St. Rose of Lima Roman Catholic Church

Horatio Olcott designed thecentral portion of this hip-roofedNeo-Classical building in 1922; itwas remodeled in 1935 and1956.

The three arched façade win-dows replaced the doors thataccommodated township fireengines until the departmentmoved to Essex Street in the1950s.

The first town hall stoodacross the street where School-

house Plaza is today, in a clap-board structure that had been theoriginal Washington School. Aplaque in front of the presenttown hall commemorates theBattle of Springfield:

“The last and deepest thrusttowards Morristown and Wash-ington’s supplies was stoppedhere by American militia on June23, 1780. After a punishingretreat, the British never enteredNew Jersey again in force.”

26. Town Hall, 373 Millburn Ave. 27. 370 Millburn Ave.Schoolhouse Plaza is an adap-

tive reuse of a township schoolbuilt in 1895. Neil Greydanusdesigned the complex thatopened in 1978-79. The new sec-tion has a slate frieze under theroof. Brown anodized aIuminumwindows, one-over-one ratherthan mullioned, are used in boththe old and new parts. The steepfront gable of the old school issimilar to others on commercialbuildings in the center.

The “Milburn Hotel” once stood at the site of the present Starbucks. It was later moved down thestreet and is still across the street from the Millburn Cinema.

Millburn-Short Hills Walkabout

Known locally as “the fourcorners,” archaeologists and stu-dents of New Jersey Indiansbelieve this is where two Lenapetrails intersected. The trails wereused for migrations from LakeMinnisink in the north toAtlantic shore points. In the 19thcentury Aaron Hand’s hotel andtavern on the northwest cornerwas a stop for the Morristown toNew York stagecoach, and laterbecame headquarters for theMemorial Day bicycle race.From 1890 to 1910, cyclerscoursed a 25-mile circuitbetween Millburn and Irvingtonin the sporting event that was ofstatewide importance.

On the southwest corner was

McCollum’s General Store, pur-veyors of “choice groceries, drygoods, crockery, hardware andwooden ware” and the first tooffer home delivery. Behind itwas Washington Hall wheresocial and public meetings wereheld. Mundy’s General Store wason the northeast corner, andscattered about were tenementsthat were home to immigrantshired to work in the quarries orthe elaborate gardens fancied bythe wealthy new suburbanites.The intersection was a stopon the trolley that connectedMillburn with Newark, Spring-field and Morristown from1905-6 until buses replaced it in the 1930s.

28. Millburn Avenue and Main Street

Dates from about 1917 in itspresent guise but may be aremodeled version of an earlierbuilding. It was originally amission for new immigrants supported by all the townshipchurches. Pointed side windowsand a slightly raised dais can beseen inside.

Return to Millburn Avenueand continue west on a blockthat was very lively in the late

19th century. The Vaux Hall Innwas on the north side next toEgbeson’s Bridge that the Britishhad captured on their way todefeat at town hall. It had thereputation for the best fifty-centmeal in the state - chicken andmilk punch!

The Lonergan family ownedmuch of the block on the southand had a blacksmith shopnamed The Prairie Rose.

30. 14 Main St.

Now a restaurant, it wasknown as the “Vauxhall” in the18th century. During the Revolu-tion it was the headquarters for aquartermaster in Washington’sarmy. Old rough-hewn timbers

and supports have been found inthe building. Over the years ithas been, variously, a news store,a dress factory and shop, a meatmarket, a barber shop, etc.

Donated to the town by Mr.and Mrs. William Wallbridgein 1981, it is a popular spot for summer weddings with thegazebo as a focal point.

By Thom Molyneauxfor The Item

I’m happy to report good newsfor New Jersey theater lovers. Notonly has 12 Miles West found anew home in Bloomfield—a large,challenging space with greatpotential—it continues as a wel-coming home for emerging NewJersey playwrights.

Currently, the company is givingJohn J. Wooten’s “Happy Hour,”which was part of last year’s seriesof Monday Night readings, a full-scale professional productionunder the direction of the theater’sartistic director, Lenny Bart. As thewinner of the New Jersey Play-wright’s Festival of New Plays,Wooten gets to test his script beforea large audience, and we get to seethe world premiere of an originalnew play by a Garden State writer.

“The Happy Hour” takes placein a somewhat shabby bar/tavern,semi-strip joint in New Mexiconear the Texas border in 1979. If allgoes according to plan, New Mex-ico will pass a gambling ordinanceand Texas bettors and high rollerswill pour into the refurbished bar,and Frank (Sam Kitchin), the own-er, will reap in millions in gamblingrevenue. Of course, if things went

according to plan, there wouldn’tbe a play. It’s the whys and hows ofplans going drastically wrong andthings falling apart and their effecton Frank and his daughter, Jenn(Heather Tom), that creates thepersonal conflicts and dramaticcrisis that make the play. The mostdangerous and potentially deadlyconflict is with Beck (JimmyGushue) a local Hell’s Angels type,part killer and part entrepreneur.

Much of the material is autobio-graphical. The playwright grew upin and around such a bar owned byhis father, so the setting andpremises are obviously familiar tohim. They are also familiar to usbecause his personal memories fallinto a familiar genre of playwriting,the good old American saloonplay. It’s a type of play exemplifiedby such classics as EugeneO’Neill’s “The Iceman Cometh,”William Saroyan’s “The Time ofYour Life,” and Robert Sherwood’s“The Petrified Forest” and used asa template for more contempora-neous shows such as TV’s“Cheers.” It’s a genre that can com-fortably accommodate tragedy,comedy, drama and melodrama.

I think, at the moment, theauthor’s specific story has fallenvictim to the general genre. It’salmost as if there’s a wonderful

script, a character study of fleshand blood, flawed human beings,that’s been lost in the twists andturns of ever more convolutedmelodramatic devices.

The original impulse for writingthe script is what the author shouldconcentrate on as he works on theplay. He should strengthen anddetail the relationship between thewidowed father and daughter,Frank’s drive to make a life forthem both, the time and place ofthe story, the situation that threat-ens his daughter and forces themboth to make life-changing choic-es. Wooten could safely jettison themultiple lurid devices of corruptpoliticians, murderous bikers,bribes, threats, doublecrosses,butchered murder victims andguns, knives and beer bottles asweapons. These melodramaticcontrivances actually seem to losetheir power in direct proportion totheir increase in quantity and fre-quency.

Heather Tom does a nice job asJenn, especially in a silent, vulner-able and awkward attempt to cre-ate a striptease routine that mightsave the bar. She also has a briefnude sequence. As Shelly Wintersonce said, such “… nude scenesshould only be done if they areintegral to the dramatic integrity of

the production—and if you’ve got abody that really looks good naked.”Tom’s scene easily meets the Win-ters’ criteria.

Kitchin as the father isn’t on thesame level as Tom, coming acrossas a svelter version of John Good-man on “Roseanne.” The muscular,booming-voiced Gushue makes apowerful stage presence as Beck,the violent biker and cliché villain.Jim Aylward as Ben, a grizzledlocal, and Paul Reisman as Jim, ayoung stranger, add their compe-tence to the small cast.

“Happy Hour” runs throughJune 12 at 12 Miles West. Generaladmission is $25 and $20 forseniors and students. Call (973)259-9187 for tickets.

WEDNESDAY JUNE 1ST

The feature presentation of our New Jersey Playwrights Festival ofNew Plays set in the remote desert of the southwest, HAPPY HOURexplores with disturbing clarity one man’s obsession with transform-ing a seedy topless bar into a respectable business. Unfolding in con-tinuous time during a September afternoon in 1979, HAPPY HOURprovides a gritty and thought provoking examination of the Americandream and the high price paid by those determined to attain it.HAPPY HOUR is based on a true story.

Approximately 100 MillburnHigh School seniors gathered May11 for a one-day workshop onissues surrounding recent Africangenocides.

Students in Frederick Jonach’sand Gina Santianna’s GlobalIssues classes began the day withan examination of the 1994 Rwan-dan Genocide and viewed therecent film, “Hotel Rwanda.” Thefilm profiles the story of Paul Rus-esabagina, who protected 1,200Tutsi and Hutu refugees in hishotel from the terror of the geno-cide.

Following the film studentsheard a presentation by SimonAban Deng, a refugee from TheSudan and a survivor of child slav-ery. Deng, who was raised a Chris-tian, discussed how he narrowlyescaped death during an Arab gov-ernment raid, and how he wasabducted and given to a Muslimfamily in northern Sudan as aslave.

“The things I went through as aslave I wouldn’t share with any-body,” Deng said. He told studentsslavery and genocide have gone onfor many years in The Sudan andare still occurring today.

Following his speech studentshad an opportunity to ask ques-tions.

“The students are aware of mybelief that the issue of genocide inAfrica does not get the attentionthat it should,” Jonach said. “Today

we have made 100 students awareof how serious this issue is. Hope-fully, they will pass on what theyhave learned today and use theirvoices to help make a difference.”

Global Issues is a requiredcourse for all juniors and seniorswho do not take an AdvancedPlacement course.

The course examines a widevariety of current internationalissues including terrorism, globalsecurity, population, hunger andhuman rights.

Students taking this course aregiven the resources to better under-stand their place in the global com-munity.

A REVOLUTIONARY TECHNOLOGY IN VISION CORRECTION:CORNEAL REFRACTIVE THERAPY

If you thought that chiropractic

care was primarily limited to the

treatment of sore backs, think

again. A recent sampling of

athletes who sought medical care

for sports-related injuries shows

that chiropractic treatment may be

applicable anywhere in the body

where there are muscles, tendons,

ligaments, and movement. For instance, neck and shoulder

dysfunctions are quite common among volleyball and softball

players, as well as among rowers. On the other hand, cyclists are

usually most often concerned with hip, thigh, and lumbar

issues, and track and field athletes commonly endure hip and

lower extremity problems. Categories of injuries can range from

chronic overuse syndromes to acute injuries. Chiropractors are

expert at biomechanics.

At MILLBURN CHIROPRACTIC ARTS, we provide

effective pain relief for a wide variety of conditions. Exercise is

an important part of a healthy lifestyle, and sports are one

approach many people choose to exercise. Maybe it’s time you

called us at (973) 467-3993 to schedule an appointment. Our

office specializes in providing gentle, safe, and effective

chiropractic care to people of all ages. We can eliminate your

pain and start to correct the cause of your problem. Regular

chiropractic adjustments can go a long way in keeping you in

good health. Chiropractic doesn’t cost - it pays! Our office is

located at 68 Essex Street, across from the train station.

P.S. Chiropractic care has the potential to enhance your

performance whether you are an athlete, a nurse, a driver, or a

secretary.

Dr. Viespi is a Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Board of SportsPhysicians and has a masters degree in clinical nutrition.

His teammates gave him a pairof third-inning runs and staff acePatrick Mackessy took it fromthere.

Mackessy, a senior right-hander,turned in a masterful two-hit, 12-strikeout performance Mondayafternoon, propelling the seventh-seeded Millburn High School var-sity baseball team to a 2-0 defeat of10th-seeded and visiting ScotchPlains in the first round of the NewJersey State Interscholastic Athlet-ic Association North Jersey, Sec-tion 2, Group 3 Tournament.

Millburn, 18-9 and the winnerof 12 of its last 15 games, advancesto face second-seeded Emerson ofUnion City in the section quarter-finals. Emerson received an open-ing-round bye. The game is sched-uled for tomorrow at Union City’sRoosevelt Stadium. A tentativegame time of 2:30 p.m. has beenset.

Call the Millburn athleticdepartment’s hotline, (973) 564-7130, extension 229, for updateson the time of tomorrow’s game.

The state contest provided asharp contrast to Millburn’s previ-ous outing, a 20-10 slugfest winover visiting Newark Academy onSaturday.

The Millers threatened to putsome runs on the scoreboard in thehome first as three runnersreached base without putting theball in play.

Right-hander Chris D’Annuzzioof Scotch Plains (13-11) issuedtwo-out walks to Mackessy, centerfielder Josh Kirson and third base-man David Meyer. D’Annuzzioescaped the jam with he retiredMiller left fielder Chris Gonnellalooking on a full-count pitch.

Kirson and Meyer would playkey roles in the Millers’ lone rallyof the game two innings later.

Second baseman Tim Mackessy,Patrick’s brother, drew a one-outwalk in the Millburn third. D’An-

nuzio fanned his pitching counter-part for the second out, bringingcleanup hitter Kirson to the plate.

Kirson launched a run-scoringtriple, driving home Tim Mackessywith the go-ahead run. The three-bagger was Kirson’s fourth of theseason and the RBI was his 25th,both team highs.

Meyer followed with a single upthe middle, chasing Kirson homewith the second run. Gonnellapopped out to D’Annuzzio for thethird out of the inning.

Mackessy, aided by some defen-sive help from his teammates, keptScotch Plains at bay the rest of theway.

Shortstop Rob Moskaz singledleading off the Scotch Plainsfourth. First baseman John Mal-oney, the Scotch Plains cleanuphitter, grounder to Miller secondsacker Tim Mackessy, who starteda 4-6-3 twin-killing.

Miller senior first baseman PeterJurgensen completed the doubleplay when he scooped juniorshortstop Mike Wissner’s throwout of the dirt.

“Peter made a great pick on theplay,” Miller head coach RalphYezza said. “Peter knows he’s therefor his defense. He’s the best defen-sive first baseman we’ve had sinceI’ve been here.”

High praise indeed given thefact that former Millers JordanMaleh and Chris Parcells, whomYezza had the opportunity tocoach, were none too shabbyaround the first base bag either.

No Scotch Plains runner got onbase the rest of the way againstPatrick Mackessy, who improvedhis record to 6-3.

The Miller hurler faced just twobatters over the seven-inning min-imum.

Mackessy set down 12 batterson strikes and allowed just onewalk.

“Patrick was completely domi-nant in his performance,” saidMiller assistant Frank Dasti, theteam’s pitching coach. “His fastballwas the most explosive it has been

the entire season. Usually, Patrickuses his fastball as a complimen-tary pitch to his offspeeds. AgainstScotch Plains, he was able to spot

his fastball where he wanted andused it as his out pitch. Without adoubt, it was Patrick’s best start ofhis varsity career.”

Bate said. “We may try to form acommittee. If we can present thecounty with more details andsteer them to a particular area, wehave a better chance to get thecounty to move forward.”

Bate said anyone wishing tocontribute ideas about creation ofthe local dog park can contacthim at [email protected].

Salvante said it is importantany decisions regarding use of thecounty lands be made with inputfrom the surrounding communi-ties and added he is sure thecounty will consult with interest-ed groups before making a deci-sion about a dog park.

Rep. Steve Israel, a congressmanfrom New York state.

Horowitz, who eventuallyhopes to land a commission inmilitary intelligence or armor,was asked what it is like to be ontrack to become a second lieu-tenant in the army during a weekwhen headlines from Iraq showno letup in attacks by the insur-gency on civilians and U.S.troops.

“It’s hard not to think about it,”he said, “but there’s always goingto be something going on some-where.”

Once the threat to UnitedStates came from the communistworld, he explained. “Now, it’s adifferent threat.”

Cadets watch the eveningnewscasts like other college stu-dents, but with an added per-spective on the combatants, hesaid.

“On some levels it’s scary, butyou want to be there with themand support them,” he explained.

He said he was pleasantly sur-prised to discover there is plentyof debate about American policyat the academy.

“It’s not just politics for us,”Horowitz said. He added, how-ever, a soldier swears an oath tosupport the decisions of theadministration and his greatestconcern as a young officer, hesaid, will be for his troops.

“You have to consider the bestway to take care of your soldiers,”he said.

With the approaching nation-al holiday to remember fallen ser-vice men and women from con-flicts past, Horowitz reflected onthe ranks of soldiers, living anddead, who preceded him.

“Their sacrifice was reallyremarkable,” he said.

“Now, I think we have equal-ly capable soldiers who are up tothe task. I’m sure we’ll show thesame dedication as them.”

a defeat of a bond referendumwithout a defined fallback posi-tion would be devastating to theschool district.

David Dwyer presented theboard with an online petition ofmore than 200 names of residentswho, he said, want to see moreoptions from the board. Dwyerand other residents urged theboard not to rush a decision onhow to address growing enroll-ments.

In response, some audiencemembers, many of whom hadserved on the long-range plan-ning committees studying spaceneeds at the two schools, saidalternatives have been adequate-ly examined.

“There is a loss of perspectiveof what a good education is,” saidformer board member AbbyKalan. She said more emphasis,and funding, should be directed atmaintaining a high caliber ofteaching professionals and highquality of materials in the class-room.

Corinne Errico, another for-mer board member, suggestedinnovative changes to curriculum,such as having alternatives tophysical education requirementsand giving credit for communityservice, could alleviate someclassroom crowding.

Jeffrey Muska and KenEttinger both asked the board toimplement procedures to bettereducate and inform residents onfinancial issues. Muska requestedcreation of a citizens budget advi-sory board. Ettinger, in turn,asked the board to release a five-year plan that would alert resi-dents to future needs, such asauditorium renovations droppedfrom the current proposal.

The plans approved by theboard Monday night are essen-tially the same plans the board’sarchitects presented two weeksago. They include building athree-story addition to the highschool and constructing a three-story “hub” linking the threewings of the middle school.

Both wings will house sciencelabs and new classroom space.Plans for the high school additionalso include language labs andinstructional areas for the visualand performing arts. The buildingwill be linked directly by a second

floor walkway to a mezzanine inthe cafeteria that can be used asinstructional space.

Plans for the middle schooladdition include a second gym-nasium and a relocated technolo-gy center.

Dropped from the plans areproposals to renovate restroomfacilities and upgrade doors andsecurity systems at the schools.An auxiliary gymnasium and aparking deck also were droppedfrom the high school proposaland replacement of the pedestri-an bridge near the Middle Schoolwill be studied.

Debate over the building pro-gram was suspended during themeeting for presentation of finalreports from the board-sponsoredSafety Committee studying trans-portation and pedestrian safetyaround the schools.

Sam Levy, chairman of thesubcommittee studying haz-ardous routes, said his group rec-ommended a 10-point plan toaddress the most dangerousroutes for children walking toschool.

“We urge the board to not takethe path of least resistance,” Levysaid. “Look at all 10 points.” Thepoints include providing busingfor students who live on the mostdangerous routes and increasingefficient use of buses on all routes.

Suzy Gengos, who headed thesubcommittee studying safety atthe schools, identified HartshornSchool as the one requiring themost attention. In particular,Gengos cited a need for betterpickup zones for busses at theschool.

Levy said although thatevening there was heated debateover construction costs and theimpact on property taxes, theneed to spend more money onbusing was a pressing one.

“Our streets are dangerous,”Levy said. “Residents should takeas active an interest in their chil-dren’s safety as in their educa-tion.”

In other board business, a newboard policy regarding anaphy-laxis was presented. The policy,when adopted, will outline proce-dures to ensure the safety of stu-dents who suffer from life-threat-ening food allergies. Superinten-dent of Schools Richard Brodowthanked parents for their input inwriting the policy.

“This was a tough sell, and youdid it with grace and intelligence,”Brodow said.
