Collyn will portray Charles Thompson, a Boy Scout from Rail- way who drowned in 1916. Thomp- sGn is one of 17 people who will be recalled Saturday and Sunday as part of the annual Ghosts of the Past tour at Rahway Cemetery. "I like telling the story about him and his life," said Collyn, who will perform the part dressed in an old- styie Boy Scout uniform like Thomp- son once wore. At 12, Collyn is a lot like other children his age. He enjoys playing lacrosse and basketball, and enjoys some of the classes he takes at Car! H. Kumpf School, where he is in the sev- enth grade. He likes to perform the part of Thompson for the groups that visit the cemetery, but he would rather do his- tory homework in his room than talk to a reporter about the performance. The story Collyn gets to relate is a tragic one. Born in 1903, Thompson was the youngest of four children. His brother, Willie, died at the age of 4, and his sisters Lizzie and Willa died when they were 10 and 12, respec- tively. Thompson himself was 13 and one of Rahway's first Scouts, when he went on a fateful camping trip to Frenchtown. Photo By Reena Rose Sibayan Collyn O'Kane, 12, stands outside his home on James Avenue. Collyn will play the ghost of 13-year-old Charles Thompson this weekend during the annual Ghosts of the Past tour at Rahway Cemetery. When the troop discovered that none of its food and other supplies had arrived, their Scoutmaster took Thompson and another Scout across the Delaware River to get some provi- sions. A powerful current wrecked the canoe, and both Thompson and the Scoutmaster drowned. The other Scout, Fay Wolfe, made it to shore and lived. The morbid subject matter isn't a turn-off for Collyn, though. He took the part fast year, and plans to play Thompson again next year. The afternoon has its high spots, such as performing for the crowd, but it has its low points, too. One of the worst for Collyn is waiting between groups, when there's no one to talk with. "It gets lonely between groups, because it takes like five minutes for the next group of people to come by," he said. "You're like all done. You're all spread out. Everybody's here, and here, so there's no one to talk with." And then there are those awkward moments when somebody asks a question he isn't prepared for. "They were, like, weird questions. I couldn 't even answer them, like how did his sisters and brothers die," said Collyn. "This little kid asked, 'Why do leaves change colors?'" Tours will be offered at 2 p.m. Sat- urday and Sunday at Merchants and Drovers Tavern, St. Georges Avenue and Westfield Avenue in Rahway. They will continue at 15-minute inter- vals, with the last tour starting at 4 p.m. Those looking for a chain-drag- ging lead-in to Halloween are in for a frightening disappointment, though. The self-guided interactive tours rep- resent life in New Jersey from the early 1700s to the early 1900s. "It's not really supposed to scare people," said Coliyn. "It's supposed to tell the history of some of the people who lived in Rah- way." Other people represented include Ambo, a slave owned by tavern keep- er Abraham Terrill; John Sotweli, a mid-19th century New York City sugar refiner who used a refining process still in use today; a Civil War soldier who died from wounds suf- fered at Gettysburg; a black town crier buried in a plot devoted to the United States Colored Troops; a Rev- olutionary clergyman; a clockmakcr; and an unknown woman murdered in the late 19th century. A brochure will highlight other points of interest throughout the cemetery, such as the grave of Dirriel Brower, a Civil War drummer whose regiment President Lincoln visited. "Ghosts of the Past is our most popular annual program, perhaps because it is both educational and fun," said Linda McTeague, executive director of the Merchants and Drovers Tavern Museum Association. "The characters are well researched, and our volunteers really get into their roles." Tickets cost $12 for adults and $5 for students. Free parking will be available at Parkside Plaza on St. Georges Avenue at Wesifield Avenue, immediately south of the tavern. injure IN THE SPIRIT OF HAL LOWEEN - If you find yourself undone by the sounds of ghostly Lenape Indian drum 0 rommg from tho ceme tery late at night ppr- haps you had better stay nway from Michael Sol den s house on Madison Hill Road Solden hdS aot well and thoroughly into the mood of Hal- loween with spine-chill- ing house decor.

By David Learn Managing Editor A Clark police officer is out on leave after a traf- fic accident Sunday that sent three people to the hos- pital with minor injuries. Officer Daniel Pitts suffered a cut lip and assort- ed bumps and bruises in the accident, which hap- pened while he was en route to another call. No one has been charged in the accident, although charges may be pending, said Capt. Denis Connell. Pitts was driving toward Rahway on Westfield Avenue to investigate a caller's complaint of a fight among a group of teens. Near Liberty Street, a vehicle turned left in front of Pitts' car. Pitts swerved to avoid hitting the car, and instead struck a pole. After Pitts was removed from the patrol car, he was taken to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital at Rahway to be treated for his injuries. He still had not returned to duty by Tuesday after- noon, but reportedly was expecting to return by today. "He's going to be out for a couple days. He's pretty sore," said Connell. "But we'll see how he feels." A second officer, Sgt. Alan Sherb, also was respond- ing to the fight and witnessed the accident, Connell said. The driver of the other car, identified as Laura Wern- er, 18, of 1934 Bond St., Rahway, and her passenger — Anthony Branham, of 315 Murry St., Rahway — also were taken to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital at Rahway after they complained of pain. The fight Pitts and Sherb was responding to ultimate- ly proved to be nonexistent The caller had heard a group of youths arguing and assumed it had been a fight, police said. Although he did not say the patrol car had been totaled in the accident, Connell allowed that it was badly dam- aged and was out of commission. "It hit a pole. Car versus pole, the pole usually wins," he said. "It's a hurting puppy, much worse than the occu- pants." Leaf pickup due to begin By David Learn Managing Editor Across Ciark, leaves are starting to turn color and fall, and that can mean only one thing: The township's annu- al leaf cleanup effort is about to begin. For such a benign topic, the sub- ject of the falling leaves received a surprising amount of attention at the Monday night Township Council meeting. One resident brought forth a com- plaint that many residents and busi- nesses rake or blow leaves into the street directly, rather than leaving them on the sidewalk. "I think it's important for home- owners, as best they can, to advise the people who do their service not to leave their leaves in the street," said Councilwoman at large Angel Aibanese. The township Department of Pub- lic Works will begin leaf pickup Mon- day and finish Nov. 30. Workers are to clean up leaves in wards 1 and 2, alternating weekly with wards 3 and 4 until the end of the season. "It's a partnership," Mayor Sal Bonaccorso said Monday night. "We need your cooperation. Please, folks, when you know your ward is being done, take your vehicle off the streets." Cleanup efforts will begin Monday mornings in residential neighbor- hoods near schools, so the township is asking that residents in those commu- nities put leaves out by the curb on the appropriate weekends and not during the week, since that could create a safety hazard for students at the school. "Our goal has been and will be again to get people in and out of these areas safely," said Bonaccorso. "We are very, very committed to having this be the best leaf cleanup in all of Union County." Updates on leaf cleanup, if any, will be advertised on TV-36 and on the township Web site at www.ourclark.com. The township meanwhile contin- ues to be beset withyfesidents leaving brush and other wood out in the street, even though brush cleanup has passed. The DPW does continue to remove branches from the road, but only those that are blown there during storms. On that note, the mayor sounded a note of pride in the efforts of the Shade Tree Department, headed by his father, Shade Tree Commissioner Joe Bonaccorso. Appointed to the position in 2001, the elder Bonaccorso has made tree maintenance a priority for the town- ship, so that heavy winds such as those experienced under Hurricane Isabel, can pass through the crowns of trees more easily and cause fewer problems for the township. "I believe the money you've been funding through Shade Tree is finally starting to bear fruit," the mayor told council members Monday night. The mayor said that fewer trees are falling down, meaning fewer power lines are affected, fewer roads are blocked and less overtime pay is needed for DPW workers.

fLet the Competition Begin!Thanks to Governor McGreevey and State Legislators for beginning

to restore competition to NJ's auto insurance marketplace.

Governor James E. McGreevey has signed historic legislation — the Automobile InsuranceCompetition and Choice Act — that is the first step on the road to restoring auto insurancecompetition in New Jersey. After months of hard work by. Governor McGreevey and keylegislators like Assemblymen Lou Greenwald and Kip Bateman and Senator Ron Rice, we finallyhave a framework to encourage auto insurance competition. The reform legislation is alreadybenefiting consumers with announcements of insurers that they intend to stay in New Jersey,more agents being appointed, and new companies coming to our state.

Keep our Eyes On the Road The new law is a terrific start, but we must still keep our eyes onthe road to make sure we reach the finish line. Regulations issued by the Commissioner of Bankingand Insurance implementing the new law play a critical role in restoring competition and choice.

Legislators also have to prevent special interest groups from destabilizing the auto market byresisting pressure to pass legislation like A-3531/S-2533, giving personal injury lawyers theability to file more auto accident lawsuits, which would derail the recently passed reform law.

The Coalition for Auto Insurance Competition congratulates GovernorMcGreevey, legislative leadership and other legislators whofought for the Auto Insurance Competition and Choice Act.When insurers compete, consumers win.

Lunch and fishing equipment wereavailable without cost to pre-regis-tered individuals.

HEALTHTobacco vendors foundin compliance with law

Every Clark tobacco vendor thatwas checked carded an underagebuyer working with the HealthDepartment, on Sept. 23.

This is the first year that Clarktownship experienced a 100 percentcompliance rate.

Tobacco compliance checks areconducted annually to ensure thatmerchants do not sell tobacco prod-ucts to minors.

Avoid a scary Halloweenwith free rabies updates

Clark Health Department willoffer free rabies vaccinations from 6to 7:30 p.m. Oct. 30 at the CharlesH. Brewer Municipal Building, 430Westfield Ave., for dogs and catsowned by Clark residents.

Entrance is by the tennis courts.Pets should receive rabies shots if

they have never been vaccinated forrabies and are at least 7 months old,or their last rabies vaccination wasin 2000.

All dogs and cats kept in Clarkmust be licensed, beginning in Janu-ary. The prerequisite for obtaining alicense is proof of rabies vaccinationvalid through October 2004.

For more information, contactHealth Officer Nancy Raymond at732-388-3600, ext. 3045.

Residents should continue to beaware of the risk of rabies until coldweather reduces the risk.

Many types of wildlife areindigenous to Clark due to its naturalwaterways, deciduous woodland andsuburban geographic boundaries.

Types of wildlife include rac-coons, opossums, skunks, ground-hog, moles, squirrels and rabbits.Clark also supports a large rodentpopulation.

Rabies is a viral disease transmit-ted through virus-laden saliva of arabid animal, and is introduced by abite or a scratch. All warm-bloodedanimals can be infected by the rabiesvirus. Since wildlife does not alwaysappear sick or exhibit the symptomsof rabies, it is advisable to avoid con-tact with wildlife.

Some primarily nocturnal ani-mals, such as skunks and raccoons,may be seen during the daytime. Thisdoes not necessarily mean that theyare rabid. Their homes may havebeen disturbed, it may be breedingseason or they may be foraging forfood for their young.

Some simple precautions that canbe taken to discourage wildlife androdent harborage and protect yourfamily and pets include:

• Make sure that all garbage,especially garbage containing foodwaste, is placed in metal or heavyduty plastic garbage cans with lids.

Gordian knotA few thousand years ago there existed the legendary

Gordian knot, a knot so intricately tied that it was said to beuntieable no matter how one worked at it. The puzzle even-tually was solved when Alexander the Great cut it in halfwith his sword.

Facing the Board of Education right now is a differentsort of Gordian knot in the form of the school district'sfinancial situation, and it surely will require a similar styleof out-of-the-box thinking. The choices board membershave been given involve either making substantial cuts tothe district's programs or to its staffing. Either way, the dis-trict needs to free more than $500,000 or face a massiveshortfall. Neither option is very appealing.

Given the reaction of those present at the board meetinglast Tuesday, it's safe to say the tone of the public at large atthe moment is decidedly hostile. That's not surprising, giventhe sacrifices parents and students have been asked to makein order for the district to present a budget each year.

Superintendent of Schools Paul Ortenzio has not alwayshelped to alter that attitude. Few are ready to forget or to for-give the 8 percent salary increase he pushed for and receivedin his last round of contract negotiations, and many haveperceived — rightly or wrongly — a defensive posturewhen he is disagreed with, mixed with anger and frustration

• when the board votes contrary to his wishes, as they did onthe issue of whether to consider a laptop program at FrankK. Hehnly School.

The fact remains, though, that the district's financialproblems did not originate with Ortenzio, nor are they like-ly to spontaneously resolve themselves should he depart.Years of defeated school budgets have left the school boardwith a small capacity to increase the budget each year. Pol-icy set by state legislators in Trenton has left school districtswithout the ability to pass considerable savings on from oneyear to the next. The number of special-education studentscontinues to grow each year, and with it, the ever-spiralingcost of educating those children and transporting them tothek schools — while state aid for then: education has heldsteady. Add to that the issues that the township administra-tion has had to grapple with — contractual obligations forincreased salaries and soaring insurance costs — and, evenputting aside unexpected expenses for repairs and mainte-nance, and even the most dedicated critics of Ortenzio, theBoard of Education and school taxes will have to agree thatwhat we have is a very real and very serious problem.

Ortenzio is correct when he says that shortfall he has pre-dicted is not something that can be solved through half-stepssuch as using fewer lights or reducing discretionary spend-ing here or there; The district can prevent a shortfall of themagnitude Ortenzio has predicted only through an impres-sive run of good luck, deliberate and painful cuts to staff oradministration, or through an infusion of revenue from anoutside source.

The district does not need to hang someone out to dry forthe situation. It does not need to lay the blame on one per-son after another for gambles that may not pay off, likewhen the board left $70,000 less in the budget for heatingthan it spent the previous winter. What the district needs is

We saw a bit of that last week when board members votednot to reduce staffing levels at Valley Road School. Orten-zio had recommended closing the position vacated by third-grade teacher Anthony Caparosa, who left his job to becomea vice principal in another school district. The board choseto fill Caparosa's position, even though eliminating it couldhave saved the district $50,000.

That's a difficult choice, given the projected shortfall, butwe believe it is ultimately the correct one. By this time ofthe year, students already have formed social bonds as aclass and have assumed a group identity of sorts. Breakingthat class and dispersing students into other classes wouldbe counterproductive, damage the esprit de corps that stu-dents have developed already and would deleteriously affecttheir education in other ways as well.

Through its action, the board demonstrated a commit-ment to the education of the children at Valley Road Schooland a confidence that an answer will be found to the pro-jected shortfall that will not involve compromising anyone'seducation.

FIRE SAFETY — Thefoxes class from Osceo-la Church NurserySchool stand by the firetruck on a recent visit tothe Cranford FireDepartment. Studentstoured the . department,saw equipment and metfirefighters as part ofFire Safety Week at thestart of October.

Proper fire safety is the responsibility of everyoneIf a fire broke out in your house,

would you know what to do?Sometimes your strongest impuls-

es can be the deadliest. A surveyfound that only four in 10 Americansknow that when their smoke alarmsounds, they should leave the houseimmediately.

Sadly, many put themselves atdeadly risk looking for a fire's sourceor trying to rescue loved ones or pets;

That's why firefighters in Clark,along with hundreds of thousands ofothers across North America, work toboost fire safety. Each year we workhard to get the word out on fire safe-ty. Our theme this year is, "WhenFire Strikes: Get Out! Stay Out!"

In schools and elsewhere aroundthe community, we're teaching theselife-saving rules: Make sure you haveworking smoke alarms on all levelsof your home and outside all sleepingareas. Test them once a month tomake sure they are working.

ViewBy Andrew Beachand Frank Cerasa

Plan and practice a home-escapeplan. Have a designated meetingplace outside. And if your smokealarm sounds, or if you see fire orsmoke, get out and stay out. Onceyou're outside, resist the temptationto go back in to find something orsomeone. Leave the firefighting tothe professionals.

With such messages, Clark fire-fighters work every day to make thepublic safer through education. FirePrevention Week, now in its 81 st year,was held earlier this month to com-memorate the Great Chicago Fire.

That fire killed more than 250 peo-ple, destroyed some 17.400 structuresand left 100,000 homeless. You mayhave heard that the fire began when acow kicked over a lamp in a barn, butthe facts of the fire's origins are lost tothe mists of time. What we do know isthat another big fire occurred in Wis-consin and Michigan that same day.

That fire began in the forests ofnortheastern Wisconsin. Although theChicago fire is more famous, thePeshtigo, Wise, fire on the same daywas the deadliest forest fire in Ameri-can history, killing 1,152 people andscorching 1.3 million acres.

These two fires — still the thirdcostliest and third deadliest fires,respectively, in U.S. history — haveinspired nearly a century of work onfire prevention and mitigation.

On the 40th anniversary of theChicago and Peshtigo fires, the FireMarshals Association of North Amer-

ica sponsored the first National FirePrevention Day.

In 1920, President Woodrow Wil-son issued the first National Fire Pre-vention Day proclamation, and itbecame a weeklong event in 1922.

Every year since 1925, the presi-dent has signed a proclamation call-ing for national observance of FirePrevention Week. The observance issponsored by the National Fire Pro-tection Association, a nonprofitagency that advocates for fire andbuilding safety.

Everyone has a role in fire safety.Are your smoke alarms working? Doyou have a home escape plan? Areyou ready to respond if the smokealarm sounds?

Butterfly bush, its visitors, are gardThe best thing about my garden is

a scraggly, 8-foot-tall, purple-flow-ered butterfly bush — Buddleiadavidii —just across the garden pathfrom the back porch.

I have forgotten its cultivar name,but 1 planted it five years ago justafter we moved in. Since then, it hasgiven me more inspiration, solace andjoy than all my treasured roses and

I am fond of butterfly bushes ingeneral, and the dark purple specimenis one of four that I have plantedaround my yard. The others sportlight purple, pink or yellow flowers.

Next year, I am considering addinga white-flowered variety, or possiblyone with variegated leaves. All attractbees, butterflies and other pollinators,but the one with the darkest flowershas been the most successful.

From the day it produced its firstrich purple flower panicle, the bushhas been a magnet for butterflies.

Earlier in the summer there weretiger swallowtails, each as big as thepalm of my hand, with crisp blackwing edges and stripes on a goldenyellow background. There were days

TheGardener'sApprenticeBy Elisabeth Ginsburg

when four of them would visit atfrom flower to flower, sipping nectar.

They seemed miraculous to me,and I found myself checking through-out the day, counting them and watch-ing as they settled to feed for a fewminutes, then rose up en masse andrearranged themselves like the brightglass bits in a kaleidoscope.

Other, less showy butterfly speciesvisit as well. Little skippers, withmothlike bodies and silver-spottedwings, sample flowers on the lowerbranches. Common cabbage butter-flies stop by occasionally, but seem toprefer the nearby blue-flowered cary-opteris or the low growing salvia andlavender in the front yard.

Every once in a while, a red admi-ral streaks in for a landing. They fly

fast, with their orange-banded wingsin perpetual motion. They are theexact opposite of the swallowtails,who flap once or twice then glideserenely on the air currents.

The, butterfly bush has its third orfourth flush of bloom during the firsttwo weeks of September when thequality of daylight changes from sum-mer's softening haze to the clearermonarchs, who come in increasingnumbers.

The morning of Sept. 11, 2001, Isaw five of them, hanging on the bushwith the sun shining through theirorange wings. I stayed outside towatch them. When I finally came in,my husband called to tell me that hisbuilding, across from the World TradeCenter, was being evacuated becauseof the Trade Center attacks. It wasmany hours before I heard from himagain. Fortunately, he came home.

Now when I think about thatmorning, the golden images of thosemonarchs are juxtaposed with thehorrific pictures of the falling towers.

Last year the monarch populationwas diminished, possibly because

cold weather in the butterflies' Mexi-can wintering ground killed many ofthe insects. This year Mother Naturehas compensated for the loss, andthere are so many monarchs that it ishard to count them all.

Yesterday I thought there were 10on the bush at one time. Now thereare eight, and a little breeze carriesthe honeyed scent of the flowers tochime, producing a handful of softmusical tones.

I have been worried a lot lately —like everyone else. I take great com-fort in weeding and even more inarranging flowers from my garden.But I find the most peace when I lookat "my" monarchs — so fragile thatthe sun shines through their wings; sotough that they can fly all the way toMexico for the winter.

They are probably fueling them-selves for the trip, and they won'tlinger around here for too muchlonger. But they are on my butterflybush right now, and I am grateful.

Residents often first to discover terrorist activityWhile talking to a news reporter

recently about homicides in UnionCounty, it occurred to me that manyof us seem to have forgotten that 62Union County residents were mur-dered two years ago, on Sept. 11,2001, just after they arrived for workin New York City.

They were murdered by terroristswho despise the American way of lifeand want to destroy everything ourcountry stands for.

We have learned from the expertsthat it will be residents spottingunusual activity in their day-to-daylives, or local law-enforcement offi-cers, who are often the first to discov-er terrorist activity. Only through con-tinuous communication and coopera-tion between the public and law

enforcement can we keep our childrenand grandchildren safe in the years tocome.

The Union County Prosecutor'sOffice has established the UnionCounty Counter Terrorism TaskForce. The task force is composed oflaw enforcement officers from theUnion County Prosecutor's Office,the Union County Sheriff's Office,Union County Police, Union County

Department of Corrections and KeanUniversity Police. Each of the 21municipal police departments pro-vides two counterterrorism coordina-tors to the task force.

Members of the task force receiveappropriate training and are informedof various courses that are availablerelated to counter terrorism.

The purpose of the task force is toinvestigate terroristic threats and inci-dents, and report them to law-enforce-ment agencies, both state and federal.A considerable amount of training isoffered to these individuals to betterprotect the citizens of Union County.

It is important that we all keep oureyes and ears open for unusual activi-ty that may appear suspicious. It isgenerally known that terrorists will

not attack a facility without havingsurveilled it two to three times prior tothe attack. They may do so by takingphotographs or videotaping sensitivesites.

We should all be aware that terror-ists do exist and the threat is ongoing.We must not forget what happened onSept. 11,2001, nor should we let our-selves become complacent.

We in Union County are here foryou, all working together for the com-mon goal to protect the lives of ourfamilies and friends.

Please remain vigilant and contactyour local police department if youobserve anything suspicious.

Johnson field hockey teamhad chances vs. Oak KnollGoalie Parrott made several stellar saves

ByJeffWolfrumStaff Writer

CLARK - One team came ready to play, while the otherdid not.

That was the feeling of the Johnson High School fieldhockey coaching staff as it left the field after the Crusadersdropped a 5-0 decision to Oak Knoll last Friday afternoonin the semifinals of the Union County Tournament.

Oak Knoll, the third seed, is scheduled to play top-seeded Kent Place in the final Saturday at 7 p.m. at KeanUniversity in Union.

The second-seeded Crusaders dropped to 9-3-2 and willnow look forward to the state tournament. Oak Knollimproved to 12-1-1.

Johnson, which lost to Oak Knoll 3-0 in last year'sUCT semis, have gone 0-2-1 against its Mountain ValleyConference rival this season.

The two clubs played to a 2-2 tie in Clark on Sept. 23before Oak Knoll took a 1-0 decision in Summit on Oct.8.

After playing to a standstill early in the game, OakKnoll managed to get on the Scoreboard at the 17:01 markwhen Kate Hardin scored off an assist from Julie Myers.

Johnson looked to tie it at 1-1 two minutes later, butErin Suckiel's shot from 10 yards out went wide right.

With nine minutes left before intermission, Johnson puton the pressure and had two scoring chances, but cameaway empty.

Oak Knoll took advantage two minutes later as Court-ney Hubschmann scored an unassisted goal to make it 2-0.

On the score, Hubschmann gained control inside thecrease and fired a shot that went over goalkeeperStephanie Parrott's shoulder into the right corner as shewas falling.

With five minutes left, Oak Knoll looked to add to itslead, but Parrott made a pad save on a rebound off a cor-ner by Hardin. Parrott finished with 10 saves.

In the waning minutes of the first half, Oak Knoll hada pair of corners, but was turned away by the Johnsondefense.

The Crusaders seemed fired up to start the second half

and immediately put pressure on the Oak Knoll defense.Just a minute in, Kovolisky grabbed a loose ball from

15 yards out and fired a shot that hit the side of the cage inanother attempt to light up the Scoreboard.

The Royals then regained control and looked to up theirlead when Sarah Pierson pushed a pass to the left wing thatHubschmann fanned on the backhand.

Oak Knoll wouldn't be denied at the 26:22 mark asMeredith Callahan scored off an assist from JessicaMcBride to make it 3-0.

McBride, who finished with three assists, sought a goalthree minutes later, but was turned aside as her shot from15 yards out off a corner was stopped to the left post byParrott.

McBride wouldn't be denied with 16:14 remaining asshe assisted on a goal scored by Colleen O'Keefe to makeit 4-0.

Parrott came up big five minutes later when she made apad save on a penalty shot taken by McBride.

Kovolisky made a nifty move to set up a corner whenshe gained control at midfield, deeked two Oak Knolldefenders and then fired wide right off one of them.

Off the comer, Suckiel blasted a shot from 15 yards outthat was blocked in front by Oak Knoll goalie Ryan Fordeand then cleared.

Forde made four saves to post her eighth shutout of theseason.

With seven minutes left, Johnson had pressure frominside the crease, but was turned aside once more.

Parrott made the best stop of the game with 4:39remaining when she made a split-stop on a blast in frontbefore forcing a bad angle shot off the rebound that hit theside of the cage.

Oak Knoll, however, closed out the scoring in the wan-ing minutes as Hubschmann tallied on a tip-in off a passfrom McBride.

Johnson had a chance to break the shutout in the finalminute, but Relle Colucci's shot from 10 yards out sailedwide left.

Johnson was outshot by a 15-4 margin.

WORRALL COMMUNITY NEWSPAPERS THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2003 - SECTION B http://www.localsource.com

StampedeThese are tough times for rail-

roads. As the political campaignswind down, I keep waiting for theactor Richard Widmark to showup. In "How The West Was Won",he plays the nasty, no-nonsensebuilder of railroads. It took a stam-pede of buffaloes to temporarilyitop that iron horse.

In the 20th Legislative District,which includes Elizabeth, Union,Roselle and Kenilworth, one set ofcandidates have put out a glossyflier pledging they will stop the"trash train bringing 10,000 tonsof toxic ash and New York garbage;very day" through the county.

LeftOutBy Frank Capece

Aside that there is no pendingproposal, there never was any planto bring through toxic ash. Still,opposing that which isn't going tohappen is a pretty safe position.

Also on the hit list is the AirTrain. Two years ago, with a wholelot of fanfare and $417 million incash, we had the beginning of themonorail linking the NortheastCorridor main line and NewarkLiberty International Airport.

A group of pro-mass transittypes hailed the project at the time.The lousy economy and the Sept.11 crises cut the estimated use toonly two-thirds of that expected.

The real action centers aroundthe reactivation of the RahwayValley rail line. At the county free-holder debate last week, and in theweekly news articles, it has inpolitical parlance taken on legs.The usually staid League ofWoman Voters had to deal with amass of questions on the topic.

An annoying heckler in the sec-ond row resorted to cat calls, andexcessive hearty laughs at anyattack on those not sufficientlyanti-train for his liking. A spouseof one candidate after the debatetold a freeholder he was "goingstraight to hell."

Anger over disruption oflifestyle is very understandable. 1watched with anger as a local pol afew weeks ago, advocating a non-rain project, speak about the need:o pursue the common good. Thefact that the common good benefit-ed his relatives as opposed to thoseit would hurt didn't seem to phasehim much.

A thoughtful opponent of therail line, William Fidurski of Clarkpoints out the danger to gradecrossings. Herbert Slote ofSpringfield raises concerns overthe speed on the line. !

The problem with thoughtfuldialogue is that it also gets lost inthe stampede. Some candidateshave taken to adding stickersStop the Train" to their lawn

sides. Mind you no explanation ofhow they would accomplish this:vent in the face of a bevy of fed-:ral case law upholding the pre-mption rights of the railroad,

meaning little local oversight.The legal opponents to the rail-

road actually sought a postpone-ment until after the election oftheir lawsuit against the line. Theywere facing an effort by the rail-road attorneys to have their suitdismissed, asserting the properjurisdiction is the Federal Trans-portation Safety Board. The delaydoes allow the opponents' positionto stay alive until two weeks afterthe election.

The attack nature of the debatehas also precluded a focus on twovocal rail opponents from Kenil-worth who had the clever idea theycould build on railroad propertywith impunity. Under these cir-cumstances, it's easier to attackUnion County officials though thebenefit is dubious.

Watching the heckler at thedebate the other night, I keptthinking what a service he does forthe railroad. The all-or-nothingapproach may eliminate any lever-age county officials ultimatelyhave on issues like speed andquantity of use. That's anotherproblem when a stampede getsgoing.

Freeholder candidates debate county hospitalBy Joshua Zaitz

Staff WriterAs Runnells Specialized Hospital of Union

County anticipates losing approximately $3million this year, candidates vying for threeseats on the Board of Chosen Freeholdersvoiced their opinions on whether or not thecounty-owned and -operated hospital shouldbe privatized.

The eight candidates include Democraticincumbents Deborah Scanlon of Union, who isthis year's freeholder chairwoman; ChesterHolmes of Rahway and Alexander Mirabellaof Fanwood; Republicans Bob Reilly of Win-field, Stuart Kline of Fanwood and KennethHaynes of Roselle; and Independent JoeRenna of Cranford and Green Party candidateBarbara Briemer of Westfield.

The three three-year seats on the board willbe filled in the Nov. 4 election. Consideredpart-time positions, a freeholder earns anannual salary of $27,000.

During a candidates debate last week inCranford's Municipal Building, candidateswere asked whether or not they believed thehospital, located in Berkeley Heights, shouldbe turned over to a private company specializ-ing in health care.

"I'm not sure why the county is in the busi-ness of running a hospital," said Kline, whohas served on his Borough Council since 1997.

Scanlon, who is seeking her third term, saidthe county did not open Runnells with goal ofturning a profit.

"There are some things that you cannot cal-culate in terms of financial cost and healthcare for our residents is one," she said.

"We're not in the business of makingmoney off of our patients who desparately

need health care and cancer care."Haynes said that just because the hospital

wasn't created as a money-maker for the coun-ty, doesn't mean it should constantly be oper-ating at a deficit. "We need to take a look atwhy it's running at a deficit," he said.

Haynes, a supervisor for United Parcel Ser-vices, said an organization that specializes inhospital care couid be better equipped to han-dle Runnells. "If someone else wants to take itover and they have the experience, by allmeans do it," he said, emphasizing that countygovernment should be run like a business.

Runnells Specialized Hospital providesnursing home facilities for patients who needlong-term care. The hospital also providesshort-term care for patients who need physicalrehabilitation and psychiatric services.

The nursing home section of the hospitalhas a total of 300 beds. It is the county's con-tention that the facility meets the needs of thechronically ill once in-patient care becomes anecessity.

"It just provides an unbelievable amount ofthings to county residents," said Scanlon,whose mother was a patient at Runnells fol-lowing knee surgery.

The hospital's physical, medicine and reha-bilitation center offers short-term care forpatients needing physical, occupational andspeech rehabilitation. The program offers serv-ices designed to assist the physically impairedpatient with the goal of returning to an inde-pendent lifestyle. Of the 21 counties in thestate, 16 have county-owned nursing facilities.

"Runnells is not there to make money forthe county," said Scanlon. "It's there for thepeople."

Mirabella said he does not support privati-

zation of Runnells Specalized Hospital."I would fight everyday to prevent that from

happening in this county," he said. "RunnellsHospital runs exceptionally well. Our residentsthere receive excellent help and our staff intop-notch."

"Privatization would be wrong for the hos-pital and it would be wrong for Union County,"said Mirabella, who chairs the county's OpenSpace, Recreation and Historic PreservationTrust Fund.

Reilly, the Winfield GOP chairman whorecently retired from working in the county'sprint shop for 30 years, claimed that some ofthe office jobs at Runnells have been given tocounty employees who the administration doesnot get along with.

"It costs a lot of money to run a hospital,"Reiliy said. "We have to make sure that there'sno loss of money on the taxpayers' part."

Holmes said he does not believe the hospi-tal should be privatized.

However, Holmes, a former police officerwho owns a security business, said there areemployees at the hospital that could be elimi-nated in order to save money.

"It's a one of those assets of county govern-ment that is an essential need," said Renna,who works in the public information office atRunnells. "ft supplies a need to seniors andother people in need."

Renna said the hospital's physical and men-tal rehabilitation centers are "second to none."He said the resources at Runnells are so goodthat the county could use those areas to helpturn a profit. "The only thing is, it's neglectedby our county administration," he said.

Briemer said she could not comment direct-ly on Runnells but is very supportive of a

national health care program.Also during the debate, candidates were

asked to voice their opinions on educationalopportunities in Union County.

Haynes said the county needs to increaseeducational services for the youth.

"If a child is not able to read before theyenter third grade then they will become a partof the criminal system," Haynes said, citing astatistic.

Mirabella cited the many things the countyhas done for education: the freeholder scholar-ships for college, senior classes, and expansionof the vocational-technical school in ScotchPlains. "I'm very proud of our record of educa-tion," he said.

Scanlon said the county's vo-tech schoolhas a 97 percent job placement rate.

Renna said that a resident's property tax billfunds three entities: the public school system,municipal government and county government.

"Every dollar the county takes out of that isless money for the municipalities and lessmoney for the school board," said Renna.

All campaigns have filed the first pre-elec-tion report of contributions and expenditureswith the state Election Law Enforcement Com-mission. The 29-day pre-election report wasdue Oct. 6.

The Union County Democratic Committeehas spent over six times as much as all theother candidates combined on behalf of thethree incumbents.

According to the Oct. 6 report, Democratshave spent 558,615 on the campaign, whileRepublicans have spent $4,467 and Renna hasspent $4,432. Briemer filed a report that statesshe does not expect to exceed $3,000 in cam-paign spending.

Chairmenweigh inon recall

By Joshua ZaitzStaff Writer

"I think there have to be someguidelines and boundaries," said Eliz-abeth Democratic Chairman WilliamMalone. "You can't just — at will —recall somebody."

Reflecting on California's recallelection, where Gov. Gray Davis wasreplaced by actor-turned-politicianArnold Schwarzenegger, Democraticand Republican chairmen throughoutUnion County relayed their thoughtson whether they agree with the rightto recall elected officials.

New Jersey is one of only 17 stateswhich provides for its residents therecall option of public officials.

Union County Republican Chair-man Ron Frigerio said recall is a nec-essary process because some of thepublic offices in New Jersey havelong terms, such as state senator car-rying a term of six years.

"When you give someone thatkind of a term you could have a seri-ous problem if you don't have theright of recall," he said.

Mountainside Republican Chair-man John Post does not agree with theright of recall. "It seems to me thatwhen a person is elected to an officefor a specified term, he or she, regard-less of the party, should be given theopportunity to demonstrate if he orshe is worthy of being an elected offi-cial."

New state advocate targets four county youth centersBy Joshua Zaitz

Staff WriterThe state Office of the Child

Advocate has launched a probe intoovercrowding at four county juveniledetention centers, including UnionCounty's George W. Herlich JuvenileDetention Center, where the state hasalready capped the number ofdetainees at 34.

Kathleen Crenshaw, a spokes-woman for the Office of the ChildAdvocate, said she could not discussthe perceived problems with theUnion County detention center whilethe inquiry is submitted. However,Crenshaw stressed that Child Advo-cate Kevin Ryan has only initiatedthe probes and no determinationshave been made yet nor have anyinvestigators been dispatched to thefacilities.

"It's not an investigation at thispoint," said Crenshaw. "It's aninquiry and we're reviewing materi-als to see if an investigation is war-ranted."

The inquiry has requested numer-ous records and a determination will

be made after reviewing thoserecords.

"After we look at that informa-tion, we're going to make a determi-nation as to whether a full-fledgedinvestigation needs to occur," saidCrenshaw.

The county has 30 days to reply tothe inquiry. The probe began on Oct.15.

"We'd be pleased to work withKevin Ryan towards the goal of alle-viating overcrowding not only herein the County of Union but also at astatewide level," said countyspokesman Sebastian D'Elia.

After reviewing the informationreceived from the county, the ChildAdvocate could investigate the facil-ity. Ryan does have the power to shutdown facilities he deems overcrowd-ed or not suitable for habitation.

Aside from Union County's facil-ity, the Office of the Child Advocateis also probing juvenile detentioncenters in Essex, Atlantic and Cam-den counties.

"No investigators have gone on-site to any of these facilities yet,"

according to the spokeswoman.Last spring, following the suicide

of 17-year-old Edward Sinclair Jr.,who was found hanged in his cell,the state capped the number ofdetainees allowed in the Elizabethfacility.

The cap will cost the county atleast $1.1 million for the remainderof this year. The average daily popu-lation at Union County's detentioncenter, located on the seventh floorof the parking garage next to thecounty courthouse, had been approx-imately 50.

The current facility was con-structed in 1968.

The Office of the Child Advocatewas launched on Oct. 14. It functionsusing an annual $2 million budget,which includes a staff of approxi-mately 20 social workers, attorneysand investigators.

The office is authorized to review,monitor or evaluate all state agenciesand service providers, and respond toallegations of child abuse and neg-lect. It possesses the power to sub-poena records, investigate com-

plaints, and sue the state on behalf ofa child's rights.

"We're going to be doing the lookbehind investigation in relation toallegations of abuse and neglect,"said Crenshaw.

The Office of the Child Advocateis also authorized to conduct on-siteinspections and review the opera-tions of foster homes, group homes,residential treatment facilities, orother programs that serve children.

The Child Advocate has been incontact with the Juvenile JusticeCommission to discuss the over-crowding at the juvenile detentioncenters and how to correct it.

Howard Beyer, executive directorof the Juvenile Justice Commission,said he welcomes the Child Advo-cate's help with the Union Countyjuvenile detention center.

"We have worked very hard withUnion County to try to get them toimprove their detention situation.They are working aggressively nowto improve the housing situation atthe detention center," said Beyer,explaining that the county has

improved the lighting, monitoringand staffing at the facility.

Beyer said if the state is going tobe proactive in correcting the prob-lems in juvenile detention centers,then agencies and counties have tosit down and "feel comfortable thatthey're coming together for mean-ingful change where they're notgoing to be finger-pointed at."

Beyer said the agencies mustwork together and come up will alter-natives so youths will not be forcedto go into juvenile detention centers.

"Once a kid goes into a detentionfor any reason, just for a night, his orher life is going to be different," saidBeyer. "We want to try to do the rightthing for the right reasons."

The Juvenile Justice Commissionhas told the county to construct amore adequate and appropriate placeto house juvenile detainees. UnionCounty has been searching for a sitewith the help of a consultant.

County officials earlier this monthsaid they expect to announce a newsite within 45 days, which would beapproximately mid-November.

Last week Worrall CommunityNewspapers did a story about publicnotice advertising (N.J.S.A. 35:2-1).Some questions were raised aboutNews Record charges to the City ofRahway. Well, looking in this week'sNews Record I decided to add up theCounty of Union legal notices cost,which came about SI 6,000. And Ibegan to wonder if the County ofUnion had been overcharged, or didanyone from the county check to seeif we were, or not. The rates, estab-lished almost two decades ago.

With the Rahway Council investi-gating public notice rates, and thecounty spending thousands and thou-sands each week in News Record, onewonders, was the County of Unionovercharged?

During my time at the county,spending the taxpayers' money hasalways been a concern. I feel that ifelected freeholder in Union Countymy years of service will only help tocontrol cost. Today we must spendour money wisely and carefully. Ihandle the county's business like itwas my own. As a freeholder, I willput the people first, because they paythe bills.

Such a program would cover allstandard medical procedures, dentalcare — and drug prescriptions.

The federal government has fallenbehind more enlightened democraticnations by not providing its citizensguaranteed health coverage as a basicright.

Currently, individuals usually havehealth insurance as a benefit ofemployment, or as a dependent.Health insurance is available nowonly at rates that are out of reach formost Americans, as are drug costs.

And New Jersey needs "cleanmoney campaigns" if people wish todetermine their own future, securedemocracy, civil and human rights,and workers' rights.

We heard residents' concernsabout sprawl and congestion. UnionCounty has preserved more than 100acres of open space. We also providedgrants to local municipalities toimprove their athletic fields and makerecreation available to all children.

In the aftermath of the Sept. 11attacks on this nation, the freeholderboard stepped up its efforts to makeUnion County a safer place by work-ing with federal and state officials toensure that first responders are betterprepared for potential weapons ofmass destruction and that they havethe best available communicationsequipment.

While accomplishing these impor-tant goals, we also achieved anunmatched record of providing taxrelief to our residents. In seven yearsof Democratic leadership, we cuttaxes three times and held themsteady in two other years. Two of ouropponents racked up double-digit taxincreases multiple times while inlocal office, while the other has norecord at all.

I'm proud to stand for re-electionand I am proud of the improvementswe have made to county government.I ask that you allow us to continuemaking Union County a better placeto live, work and raise a family.Thank you.

me that they can no longer afford tolive in their homes because of risingproperty taxes. They are being forcedout of the very communities theyhelped to build. Over the past threeyears, county taxes increased 27 per-cent. Last year alone, taxes went up10 percent. This is unacceptable.

Because there is only one politicalparty sitting on the freeholder board ,there is no challenge, no debate, andno diversity of opinion that we valuein American democracy. But evenmore disturbing, aside from the ram-pant nepotism, political shenanigans,and backroom deals, is the contemptshown by the 100-percent Democratfreeholder board toward constituents.

For example, in December, a fewshort weeks after the election, theyvoted themselves a pay raise, retroac-tive to Jan. 1. In September 2002, justthree months after signing a contractwith M&E Railway to operate afreight line through six Union Countytowns, the Democrat freeholder boardwrote a letter to residents of thosetowns stating that they had no inten-tion of reactivating the long-dormantRahway Valley line. As a result, fiveof those towns, Kenilworth, Roselle,Roselle Park, Springfield, and Sum-mit, are suing the county government.

If 1 am elected, I can promise this:that I will work to rein in out-of-con-trol spending — it's my money too!;restore two-party balance to UnionCounty government; and show thecourtesy and respect which our resi-dents deserve.

Earlier this month, we saw votersin California — fed up withentrenched politicians, special inter-ests, and mismanagement — turn outa sitting governor elected just 11months earlier.

On Nov. 4, Union County resi-dents have that same power in theirhands to send a clear resounding mes-sage that it's time for a change.

Stuart KlineFor the past eight years, I have

served on the Borough of FanwoodCouncil. Currently, I chair the Admin-istration and Finance Committee andam a member of the Fanwood Memo-rial Library Board of Trustees.

Over the past few years, I havealso been a member of the FanwoodLions Club and an assistant coach forthe Fanwood-Scotch Plains YouthBaseball Association. I am an attor-ney and also have a finance andaccounting background.

During this campaign, UnionCounty residents have told me thattaxes is the number one issue on theirminds. Many senior citizens have told

Joseph RennaPatronage jobs suck the coffers of

the county dry and they are alsoresponsible for the the flawed projectsand contracts that are implementedwithout any analysis. Over the lastthree years, patronage jobs haveincreased in number and now makeup the highest levels of the countyadministration.

The incompetence at the top of thecounty hierarchy renders the rank andfile workers unproductive. Adminis-trators with no experience or skills areoverseeing projects that are costingthe county millions only to failbecause of lack of oversight or properplanning. The county also doles outno-bid contracts to companies thathave contributed to their campaignfunds. End pay-to-play practices andno-bid contracts.

The reason the county is in suchbad shape is that the public has noknowledge of what is going on. Criti-cal information is not shared with thepublic until the resolutions are passed.Then it is too late for public reactionto have any effect

I can effect a change by getting theinformation out to the people. Thenew Open Public Records Act is atremendous tool for people to gainaccess to information. Even with theact in place the county is still notforthcoming, and when they are, theinformation is too little too late.

As a freeholder I would haveaccess to public records first hand. Itwould be difficult for the freeholdersto wheel and deal as they do under thesecrecy of all-Democratic board. It isalso the freeholders' job to approvethe decisions of the county manager.Since I am not beholden to the leadersof the Democratic party, I will not berubber stamping my approval toflawed proposals and ridiculous con-tracts. The incompetence of countyadministration must be held in check.

Information is the key to fixingcounty government. One person canaccomplish this. Of all the sittingfreeholders, and other candidates, Iam the most qualified to do so. Mar-keting, advertising and publishing hasbeen my entire life. I can create amore open county government, and Ican do it independently.

Chester HolmesI am a proud father, grandfather

and Union County resident of morethan 50 years. I have spent decadesserving my community as a policeofficer, National Guardsman, in civicand church affairs and as an electedofficial. I hope for your support as 1run for re-election to the Board ofChosen Freeholders in order to con-tinue a lifetime of public service.

As a Union County freeholder, Ihave made preserving our homelandsecurity and our economic securitymy priorities in public office.

I use my decades of police experi-ence and specialized training in crimeprevention, administration and crimi-nal justice as chairman of the Free-holder Committee on HomelandSecurity. Working with Sheriff RalphFroehlich and other officials, we areimplementing a plan to better protectour homes and communities in theevent of any emergency or terroristattack.

I am also working with ProsecutorTheodore Romankow in an initiativeto crack down on gangs and illegaldrugs. Our neighborhoods and ourchildren need to be kept safe fromthese twin scourges.

Defending our economic securityis an equal priority.

A key factor in the prosperity ofUnion County is our location. We arein an enviable position in the globaleconomy and this favorable locationcannot be taken for granted.

Roads and bridges are the lifelinesof our economy. County roads linkUnion County's western suburbs andthe towns along the ridge to the moreindustrialized eastern communities,Port Elizabeth and Newark LibertyInternational Airport.

A safe, modern transportation net-work is important to our quality oflife, which attracts workers, theirfamilies and retired people to stayhere. And our healthy business cli-mate is complemented by our initia-tives to improve educational opportu-nities, expand recreational opportuni-ties, and provide needed health serv-ices and programs for senior citizens.

With your support, my runningmates and I will continue to bringservices, safety and results for UnionCounty families.

This freeholder board also recog-nizes the need to protect the environ-ment and improve recreational oppor-tunities. As chairman of the OpenSpace, Recreation and HistoricPreservation Trust Fund, I led theeffort to preserve 104 acres of privateland for open space in Summit, Clark,Union Township and Scotch Plains inthe past two years — the largestincrease in county parkland in gener-ations.

We've also earmarked moneyfrom the trust fund to stimulate thecreation of green space in urban areasthrough the "Green the Streets" pro-gram, and to preserve historic sitesthrough the "Preserve Union County"grant program.

Under Democratic leadership wecreated Michael Bezega Park in Rah-way and we installed new, safer play-ground equipment in every countypark. Through the "Fields of Dreams"program we provided towns withthousands of dollars to improve play-ing fields and increase the availabilityof recreational facilities in all of ourcommunities.

This is our record of initiative andachievement. With your help, I hopeto find cooperative solutions to thechallenges that lay ahead.

Recallelectionsdebated

(Continued from Page Bl)Davis was recalled less than a year

into his second term as California'sgovernor. Voters approved the recallof Davis 55 percent to 45 percent onOct. 8. He is only the second governorin the nation's history to be thrownout of office by his own constituents.

"I think recalls are healthy," saidClark Democratic Chairman JohnDeSimone. "I would like to see moreof them. Term limitations and recalls,I think they should be made a littleeasier. It keeps everyone on.theirtoes."

New Jersey adheres to stricterguidelines than California when itcomes to the recall process.

"I think you should have a right ofrecall but their procedure is just terri-ble," said Frigerio, discussing thenumber of California gubernatorialcandidates who were allowed to run."There has to be some kind of screen-ing process — a primary or whatev-er."

In New Jersey, an official cannotbe recalled during the first year oftheir term.

"You just can't tell how good of ajob a person has done if they've beenin office less than a year," said Frige-rio.

To recall an elected official in NewJersey, a petition must be signed by25 percent of the state's registeredvoters. California requires signaturesequal to 12 percent of the voterturnout in the last election.

"Just because there's an unhappysituation among the people of thestate, you just can't jump in and recallsomebody," said Malone.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENTClassic comedy is 'really a treat'Artists JAtifcinq n, piffcrmu.

Kate Baker John Davidson Ahrre Maros

Philanthropy meets artistryBy Bill VanSantAssociate Editor

What does it take to make a difference in the lives ofothers?

When you're talking about two individuals dealingone-on-one, it could be a kind word, a helpful gesture,support in a time of need.

But when you're talking about someone making adifference in the life of an entire community, it takesmore than a genial nature.

It takes dedication, commitment, vision, and a gen-erosity of spirit that isn't limited to personal acquain-tances.

And when that difference is made through the arts,the accomplishment is even more laudable — especial-ly when one considers the uphill battle most artists facein terms of gaining support, momentum and, moreimportantly, funding to do what they do. At a timewhen funding for the arts is being cut in New Jersey,the work done by certain individuals goes a long wayto improve the quality of life in their communities.Their work provides aesthetic rewards, economic andcultural growth, funds for worthy causes, and an invest-ment in the future, both immediate and long-range.

And when one considers the number of towns seek-ing to revitalize themselves as "arts communities,"many of these contributions are at the heart of a renais-sance.

In celebration of National Arts and Humanities

Month, we honor individuals in Union and Essex coun-ties who, through their work in the arts, are making adifference in the lives of their respective communities.

In selecting the people honored on these pages* thefollowing criteria was considered:

• Do the person's endeavors educate the next gener-ation of artists?

• Do the person's endeavors educate the audience?• Are the person's endeavors philanthropic in nature?• Do the person's endeavors stimulate economic

growth in the community?Not every criterion had to be met in making the

selections. The individuals selected represent a cross-section of artistic disciplines, as well as a cross-sectionof contributions to the community. Some are educators,some are fund-raisers, some are the guiding vision of atheater or dance company or gallery. Included on the listare local television producers, actors, directors, artists,dancers, musicians, concert promoters, writers. Manyhave professional affiliations with their towns' recre-ation departments, chambers of commerce or redevel-opment corporations; some are making their livingsdoing what they do; while others are private citizenssharing their gifts and talents with their neighbors.

And they're all making a difference.

Editor's note: Profiles appear on Page B5 and B7.In next week's edition, we will spotlight more Artists .Making a Difference in their communities.

The Cranford Dramatic Club is tobe congratulated for attempting tostage a huge and complicated produc-tion for its fall production — and, forthe most part, succeeding in gettingits message across to a confused butpatiently entertained audience.

It takes a bit of doing to bring fortha 1936 Broadway winner such asMoss Hart and George S. Kaufman's"You Can't Take It With You" in al!its glory along with sharp, funny-lines, an enormous cast of goofy char-acters and an important lesson to belearned. The play, which won aPulitzer Prize on Broadway in 1936and two Oscars in 1938 for FrankCapra's film version, opened Fridaynight at the Cranford Dramatic Clubin Cranford and will continue its runthrough Nov. 1.

The overwhelming task of round-ing up 18 actors and placing them in asmall household — on stage — insmall rooms, with zany charactersdoing their own things, had to beassumed by the eyebrow-wiping pro-ducers and director. A theatergoermust bow to director Hope Weinstein,producer Art Kusiv, assistant produc-er Tiffany Wilson, assistant directorArlene Wachstein and stage managerDanielle Einhorn and other membersof the crew.

The three-act play is set in thespring of 1936 in the New York Cityresidence of Martin Vanderhof, betterknown as Grandpa, who spewsphilosophies at every opportunity.Oh, and by the way, he doesn'tbelieve in paying income tax. Toproperly introduce the era, a largescreen to the left of the theater showscurrent scenes from what was hap-pening in the world back then — from

On theBoardsBy Bea SmithStaff Writer

President Franklin Delano Rooseveltto Adolph Hitler.

The comedy has many seriousundertones, but apparently the eccen-tric people in the play seem obliviousto the times. Most of them dwell inthis house of confusion in their ownlittle frustrated worlds of wannabeartists, dancers and inventors, andseem to ignore the complexities ofpoverty, unemployment and hunger;the higher and lower classes of socie-ty, the long hours of work or no workat all. Perhaps it is not unlike the cur-rent problems of the year 2003.Although the family members andothers who live there love and respectGrandpa Vanderhof and cater to hiswishes and ideas around the diningtable, they are completely ignorant ofwhat real life is about. One of Grand-pa's daughters has been trying fordecades to write a play; her daughterthinks she is a ballet dancer, eventakes lessons, and dances across thestage throughout the three acts.Another daughter, who actuallyworks as a secretary to an investmentfirm's vice president, is the onlysomber character in the entire house-hold. Her young boss is in love withher and wants to marry her, but shetries to discourage him — not onlybecause of their social differences,but because of the eccentric charac-ters in her family, all of whom sheloves. Her father, by the way, isalways down in the cellar with afriend making fireworks and occa-

sionally setting them off.Problems begin to build up, but the

inhabitants ignore them, especiallywhen the rich young man brings hisparents to meet the family of hisbeloved. Sparks really begin to flywhen the whole bunch of people isarrested.

There is a laugh a minute, and bythe end of the play, even the audiencebecomes immune to serious innuen-does. :

Outstanding in the cast are EdSpeigel, who plays Grandpa Vander-hof with a charm and professionalismrarely found in community theater;Renee Litwin, as Alice Sycamore,who is torn between her love for her"crazies" and her love for her fiance;Carl Barber Steele as Donald, whoassists in the kitchen — dinner oftenconsists of sliced tomatoes and water-melon — and Naomi Yablonsky, whostunningly portrays Mrs. Kirby, therich mother. Her presence provides adignity to the otherwise chaotic situa-tion.

The other members of this hard-working cast are splendid. It's really atreat to be a part of a Saturday night

, audience that appreciates good the-ater. It's an unforgettable experiencethat's well worth a visit. So leaveeven' problem at home when youcome to the Cranford Dramatic Club.After all, you can't take it with youwhen you go to see "You Can't TakeIt With You." The stage problems arethere for the public to laugh at — andenjoy.

"You Can't Take It With You"runs through Nov. 1 at the Cran-ford Dramatic Club. For informa-tion, see the "Theater" listing in theStepping Out calendar on Page B6.

Kean brings classic into 21st century

Liberty Hall goes pumpkin picking this weekendThere is a hidden treasure to be discovered in Union,

across from Kean University. Liberty Hall Museum, a23-acre National Historic site, which first opened to thepublic in May 2000, offers New Jersey families an oppor-tunity to travel back in time.

Built in 1772 by New Jersey's first governor, WilliamLivingston, this ancestral home was lived in by sevengenerations of his family until 1995. Referred to as a"house of history," a trip through Liberty Hall traces thegrowth and struggles of the nation from its earliest daysright through the final days of the 20th century.

On the weekend of Oct. 25 and 26, a Pumpkin Patchfamily event will take place on the grounds of the historic

mansion. Families can celebrate in a safe, fun-filled way.Highlights include pumpkin carving, scarecrow making,hayrides, and pony rides.

Integrated into the fun and games will be a focus onthe rich history of the property that was continuouslyoccupied from 1772-1995 and a large working farm untilthe mid-1950s.

Open for public tours, April to December, Wednesdaythrough Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sundaysfrom noon to 4 p.m., Liberty Hall can be reached at 1003Morris Ave., directly across from Kean University. Thephone number is 908-527-0400 and the Web site can befound at www.libertyhallnj.org.

Kean University's Department of Theater is pre-senting William Shakespeare's talc of star-crossedlovers, "Romeo and Juliet," in a mixed-media produc-tion combining live actors with video technology.

Shakespeare's most beloved story of young love bydestroyed by old grudges runs through Nov. 2 at theuniversity's Murphy-Dunn Theater, Vaughn-EarnesHall, 1000 Morris Ave., Union.

" 'Romeo and Juliet' is about a deadly generationgap," said the play's director, Teresa Choate, profes-sor in Kean's Theater Department. "In order toemphasize this timeless message for our media-satu-rated audience, we combined filmed actors on televi-sion monitors and live actors on stage." With the helpof the university's Center for Instructional Researchand Technology, Choate's vision became a reality. Theresult is an amazing cast of students who perform liveon stage and figures of authority that appear as "talk-ing heads" on video monitors. The flesh-and-bloodactors interact with the decidedly fleshless-and-bloodless authority figures, which will be manipulat-ed by "busts of Shakespeare" from student-operatedlaptops.

"This type of production is unique to the universi-ty setting," explained Choate. "A professional compa-ny could not endanger its box-office income to trysomething this radical, and the average communitytheater would not have access to the technology andexpertise need to pull it off. But this is what Kean'seducational theater is all about: pushing the envelope."

Cast members include theater majors Adam Vadaszas Romeo; Helen McTernan as Juliet; Peter Brown asBenvolio; Anne Fletcher as Mercutio; Nadir-Mateen asParis; and Nick DeMarco as Tybalt. • Prbfessionalactors include Cliff Jewell as Friar; Maureen Clarke asLady Capulet; Dan Yates as the prince; and SusieSpeidel as the nurse. And appearing as the "talkingheads" are longtime theater favorites John Bauer asLord Capulet and Bernie Weinstein as Lord Montague.

Production dates are today through Saturday, Oct.29 through 31, and Nov. 1 at 8 p.m., and Sunday andNov. 2 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15 for the public; $12 forKean alumni, faculty, staff and senior citizens; and$10 for students and children. For more information,to reserve a seat, or request a brochure, call theWilkins Theater box office at 908-73'7-'7469.

ArtisU Making fr'Star quality' lends itself toassisting neighbors in need

By Bill VanSantAssociate Editor

Name: John DavidsonTitle: Entertainer, entrepreneurAge: 61Resides: South Orange

Some of you may know him fromhis hosting duties on television gameshows, others may have caught hisconcert act in a casino showroom;some may have seen him onstage asnear as Broadway and the Paper Mill,and others still might know his workfrom as far away as a cruise ship.

But for many area residents, JohnDavidson is a local guy who makessome great things happen.

"At this point in my career, I'vehad enough success, I'm able to pickand choose the things that 1 want todo," Davidson said. "For example, Ising on cruise ships all over the worldbecause I love travel and I love doingmy live shows. I do concerts all overthe country in small theaters. Mycareer has quieted down now; I'm noton television every week, but I can dosmall concerts, that I love to do."

After being referred to the area byan actress associate, Davidson and hiswife took up residence in Maplewoodapproximately six years ago, wherethey lived for about two years.

"We were just renting to check outthe area," he said. "We wanted a big,old house that we could fix up, and sowe bought this old house here inSouth Orange. I don't know if there'sanother place in America where youcan find these great old houses, andall you've got to do is give them someTLC.

"It's our fourth year in SouthOrange," Davidson continued. "Welove it, we love the diversity. Plusthere're so many actors, directors andproducers, and people in the arts inthis community, so I feel very at homehere."

Davidson points out that he'sgrateful for the success he's enjoyed,partially because it enables him totake a break in between paying gigsand focus his time and talents on localcauses.

Locally, Davidson often donateshis time, talent and celebrity to raise

awareness of— and funds for — wor-thy endeavors, whether it be a charita-ble foundation or a local establish-ment

Davidson's most recent outreachwas an "invitation only" concert atthe Dancing Goat Cafe in SouthOrange in late August. The purposewas to raise money to upgrade thecafe's lighting system after it's open-ing. The coffee bar includes on itsschedule regular appearances bymusicians and spoken-word artists, aswell as rotating art exhibits.

"I became very excited about thisplace called the Dancing Goat,"Davidson continued. "It's a throw-back to the coffeehouses of the '60s,except that there's no alcohol and nosmoking, so it's such a great, healthyspace. And the demographics of it areall ages — you see teenagers in there,and you see mature adults — and Ilove the honesty of a place like that.They have great coffees and greatfoods there, but I think that people gothere for the camaraderie."

Davidson sees it as an investmentin his new hometown, helping to nur-ture the type of meeting place thatdoesn't appear anywhere else on thelocal map, in his opinion. However,he knew from his extensive career ina plethora of venues, that in order torealize its full potential, the DancingGoat would need an upgrade.

"I got very excited about that," hesaid, "and I realized that to make a lit-tle showroom, they'd need newlights."

The entertainer doesn't limit hisendeavors only to local night spots —in the spring of this year, he was theheadliner at a benefit for Children andFamily Services of Elizabeth.

"That came about, quite honestly,because 1 have a freind, Bill Webb,who is CEO of that organization,"Davidson shared. "I said, 'This is anincredible thing that you're doing.'He was really making a difference forthe quality of life in Elizabeth."

Davidson had informed Webb thathe'd be excited to donate his talents tohelp promote Children and FamilyServices.

"His annual spring event seemed

like a good way," he said. "The wholepoint was to have an event where hecould thank his workers, and thankthe people that support this organiza-tion. It was fun to give of my time."

In addition to his performancework, Davidson and his wife havetranslated another passion into a smallbusiness which enables them to reachout to the community in other areas.

"My wife and I are interested ingeography, and we create educationalgames," Davidson said. "It's calledBorderline Games, and they're geog-raphy card games."

Knowing of this, Chris Preston,the head of social studies for theSouth Orange school district, contact-ed Davidson to come into SouthOrange and Maplewood middleschools and lead a geography semi-nar.

"In November, I'm going to bothof those schools to teach them ourgeography games and to donategames to the schools," he said."Intstead of a spelling bee, it's a geog-raphy bee." The games are availableacross the country in educational toystores.

"In my career, I've done a lot ofsilly things," he said with a laugh."I've hosted game shows, I've playedLas Vegas and Atlantic City, and donethings that have no real value.

"In these cases," he continued,"it's fun to do something whichmakes a difference in the community.They feel better than the jobs that 1 dofor money."

Name: Kate BakerTitle: Executive Director, The

Oskar Schindler PerformingArts Center, West Orange

Age: UndisclosedResides: West Orange

As a professional jazz singer andmusician, Kate Baker draws heavilyon her experience to serve as theexecutive director of the OskarSchindler Performing Arts Center inWest Orange, which just completedits first season of programming.

Under Baker's leadership, OSPAChas successfully generated enoughfunding through grants, corporatesponsorships and private donations topresent everything from jazz toBroadway music to folk-funk toopera.

But according to Baker, the jewelin this past summer's crown was theweek-long jazz workshop.

Plenty of theaters and performingarts centers offer classes, most for afee. However, Baker wanted to pro-vide something more: she wanted tobring jazz into the lives of youths whomight not otherwise get to experienceit as both an art form and a tool forpersonal growth. She wanted her stu-dents to experience the harmony inthe music and in their lives.

"Music is very healing," she said,"and music, you know, brings peopletogether. So, because of that, I knewthat that could be the connection tobring different communities together— different ethnicities, differentbackgrounds. And none of that wouldmatter because of the music."

Not limited solely to West Orangeresidents, or to young people, Bakerspread the word and the workshophad participants from Malcolm X.Shabazz High School in Newark, aswell as from New York City, Con-necticut and the Jersey shore.

Where the younger students wereconcerned, Baker's vision includedmore than professional development.She described the change in some stu-dents during the course of the work-shop as being "huge," saying that astheir skills increased, their self-confi-;

dence grew, and so did the smiles ontheir faces.

"Everybody just comes to leam,and kids become self-confident," sheobserved. "And that's what we wantto teach our next generation of kids:how to be good to each other, how tobe self-confident, no matter what theydo," to grow "not only as musicians,but as people."

The students weren't just treated toBaker's tutelage — she also teachesmusic privately — but to that of sev-eral local jazz luminaries. She creditsthe musicians' experience with bring-ing an added dimension to the kids'growth. Having been in the trenches,these artists bring not only their skillsas artists, but a deeper understandingof the art.

"See that's the difference, whenyou deal with professionals," shesaid, "they can make changes becausethey get to the spirit of the kid, notjust intellectually. They know becausethey've been through the gamut intheir own career in their own life, andthey're humbled by the music. Andthat's what these kids learned."

In an effort to make the workshopaccessible to as many qualified stu-dents as possible, Baker wanted toremove any financial limitations.Toward that end, she gained sponsor-ships from corporations and localbusinesses to offset the tuition for

Kate Baker

some students. "Without them, wecouldn't do that," she said of thesponsors.

"And the West Orange Board ofEducation with Lou Quagliato," sheadded. "It was immeasurable what hecontributed." In addition, the WestOrange Education Foundation provid-ed a scholarship.

She described the change in someof the workshop students as "huge,"which is how she also typified thesmiles on their faces and their self-confidence.

"1 saw kids come in who were apa-thetic, kids who never listened to jazzcouldn't wait to go home and listen tojazz. It was unbelievable."

"And there were no egos."Just the music.

Exhibit at NJCVA makes its 'Escape From New York'"Escape From New York: New Works From the Outer Boroughs" takes a

broader look at what is going on outside "the city."The exhibit at the New Jersey Center for Visual Artsin Summit showcases

the work of 12 up-and-coming artists from the outer boroughs of New YorkCity and was conceived by curator Jason Murison. "Escape From New York:New Works From the Outer Boroughs," on view through Nov. 2, explores theartists' psychological connection with the increasing disconnection of urbanlife once pushed to the outer boroughs. The featured artists draw inspirationfrom a city they are no longer within; their escape is not from social or cul-tural problems but from the arena that these problems exist in.

NJCVA is located at 68 Elm St., Summit. For information, call 908-273-9121 orvisitwww.njcva.org.

WORRALL NEWSPAPERS THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2003 — PAGE B7

Combining coffee, concerts and a conscience can benefit othersBy Bill VanSantAssociate Editor

Name: Ahrre MarosTitle: Concert producerAge: 43Resides: Westfield

Music, it has been said, is the foodof love and can soothe the savagebeast.

But under the right circumstances,it can also help those in need even asit entertains.

Ahrre Maros, a Summit native cur-rently living in Westfield, knows thisquite well.

The producer of two concert seriesin Union County — Coffee With Con-science in Springfield and Westfield,and Second Saturdays Coffeehouse inSummit — Maros not only brings up-and-coming talent to local audiences,but uses the series as a means to raisefunds for several local causes.

Maros first became acquaintedwith the "coffeehouse" environmentas a teen-ager when he was activewith the youth fellowship of the Uni-tarian Church in Summit. As a youngman in Berkeley, Calif., Maros' affec-tion for the performance style grew.

What also grew was his love forthe coffee roasteries which were very

popular on the west coast in the '80s— a profession he would pursue uponreturning to New Jersey.

As the owner of Ahrre's CoffeeRoastery in Westfield, Maros wasapproached by members of EmanuelUnited Methodist Church in 2000 toprovide coffee for an upcoming con-cert series at the church.

Combining his passions for coffeeand music was a natural next step forMaros, who soon assumed the pro-ducer responsibilities in terms of lin-ing up talent.

"We had three shows in Spring-field and they were having them everytwo months or so," he said.

The series soon branched out toalternate on a monthly basis with theFirst United Methodist Church inWestfield. Now in its fourth season,Coffee With Conscience presentsmusical acts every month from Sep-tember through June in the twochurches.

However, it's not just about coffeeand music. The "conscience" come:via the series' mission to donate pro-ceeds to local charities, including theFood Bank of New Jersey and theEric Johnson House.

At his home church, the SummitUnitarian Church, Maros also pro-

duces Second Saturdays, a coffee-house that presents open mic nightstwo months in a row, followed by a"name" act in the third month. All ofthe proceeds from Second Saturdaysbenefit the Keith Knost Special NeedsTrust, aiding a former minister's sonwho was paralyzed from the chestdown in an accident two years ago.

Maros mentioned a customer in hisshop recognizing him from the series.She said, "I'm so glad you're doingthat concert series."

So, too, no doubt, are the countlessbeneficiaries of the funds raisedthrough Maros' music.

Bloomfield institute provides answers to sensory integration questionsWhat is sensory integration?The Bloomfield institute of Physi-

cal/Occupational Therapy offers thefollowing answers.

What is sensory integration?The organization of sensory input

for use; the "use" may be a perceptionof the body or world, an adaptiveresponse, a learning process of thedevelopment of some neural function.Through sensory integration, themany parts of the nervous systemwork together so that a person caninteract with the environment effec-tively and experience appiopriate sat-isfaction.

Children learn about their bodiesand the world around them throughtheir many sensory systems. Thesenses we usually think of are sight,hearing, smell, touch and taste. Thereare other sensory systems also, that

are always working in our bodies.These include proprioception andkinesthesia; often it is their efficiency,which affects our students the most.These systems help the individual beaware of the position of his or herbody parts when still, and duringmovement, even when he or she is notlooking at their bodies.

How can I better understandsensory integration?

Think of yourself riding a bike.You know where your feet are in rela-tionship to the brakes even thoughyou aren't looking at them. You alsoknow how much pressure to apply tothe brakes so that the bike will slowdown, as well as how to balance thebike without consciously thinkingabout it.

CHIROPRACTICFOR BETTER HEALTH

DR. DONALD ANTONELLICHIROPRACTOR—

THE VITAL FORCEYou may not realize it, but your vitalforce is expressed through your nervoussystem, extending from the brain andspine to every gland, tissue, organ, andmuscle in your body.That's why the health of your spine is

so essential to the health of your entirebody. Any spinal strain or shock, evenan awkward move, can sometimes affectthe vertebrae and discs, causing irritationto the nervous system. Irritation of thenerves can disturb the body's normalfunction, causing pain and many otherhealth problems.

Treatment of spinal disorders isessential to good health. Pain-killingdrugs won't do the job. They can dullthe pain or hide the symptoms for

awhile. Pain-kitlers are not curative inthemselves. Given a chance, the naturaihealing power of the body is oftensufficient to return you to good health.

If you are bothered by back pain,headaches, or other symptoms related todisorders of the spine, seek the help youneed from a specialist trained to treat thesedisorders.

CHOOSING A BROKERIn all walks of life, we the

consumers are faced with makingdecisions: which car is safest,which college offers the bestcurriculum, which doctor canalleviate our pain. Real estate is noexception. When it is time to sell ahome, we seek assistance. Choosinga Realtor is one of the mostimportant decisions as it will decidethe financial and emotionalsecurities of our families. Just as weconfide in our doctor for many,many years, we must trust ourBroker.

In choosing a Realtor, we mustseek the qualities of honesty,integrity, and ethics. Talking tofriends and neighbors and gettingrecommendations from people youtrust is a key factor. A proven trackrecord of a company is vital. ABroker's knowledge of thecommunity, school system, and ofcourse, market values is essential.

CAVEAT EMPTOR - let thebuyer beware. Watch out for lettersand correspondence that state thereis a buyer waiting for your home.Let's be realistic. Has the buyerbeen inside your home? Has thebuyer seen your home??? Be on the

alert for super discounts thatpromise very little commissions.Will it cost you more later in thelong run? Are those commissionsreally what they seem?

Jill Guzman has achieved theultimate distinction of beingamong the TOP 1% of more than(approx.) 7,040 Active Real EstateProfessionals by units of listingssold in the year 2000!

P.S. The professionals at JillGuzman Realty are achievinghonors and distinctions year afteryear. They offer personal service,true knowledge of market value,

a marketing program tohome together withntegrity. Their best

reference is, and always will be,your neighbor.

RE/MAX Summit collectscell phones to benefit kids

RE/MAX Properties Unlimited inSummit has joined RE/MAX officesthroughout the country in a very inno-vative fund-raising program for theChildren's Miracle Network. Byrecycling old and unused cell phonesand ink cartridges, RE/MAX Proper-ties Unlimited will raise money thatwill be donated directly to Children'sHospitals affiliated with CMN.

Broker manager of PropertiesUnlimited in Summit, Sandy Miller,has made this endeavor a community-wide event. Local residents and busi-nesses can retrieve empty inkjet,laser, fax and copier cartridges, aswell as old cell phones, and drop themoff at RE/MAX Properties Unlimitedin Summit at 73 Summit Ave. Theseitems can be dropped off any day ofthe week between the hours of 9 a.m.and 5 p.m.

Items that are not acceptable todrop off are toner bottles or tubes,printer ribbons, and Epson inkjet car-tridges.

"This program is a really conven-ient way for people to make a contri-bution to Children's Miracle Net-work," said Miller. "Most peoplehave old cell phones and ink car-tridges lying around that would even-tually get thrown out anyway. All theyhave to do is drop them off at theoffice, and we'll take care of the rest."

The old cell phones and cartridgesare sent to RMS CommunicationsGroup, which then restores them forre-sale into less progressive markets.The profits gained from recycling andre-selling these items are then donat-ed to CMN.

ERA provides training for meeting the needs of senior citizensThe ERA Brokers of New Jersey

have announced that ERA hasbecome the first and only global realestate franchise to provide its realestate professionals the Seniors RealEstate Specialist designation throughits virtual classroom.

Offered through the SeniorAdvantage Real Estate Council, this

course is designed to educate salesprofessionals about the special needsand concerns of mature Americanswhen they are buying or selling theirhome.

Thomas Parisi, vice president andbroker of ERA All Realty, is a strongsupporter of the SRES designation forhis associates.

"Over the next two decades," hesaid, "the mature market is expectedto increase by nearly 80 percent, andwith one-third of our business comingfrom the senior market, it is importantthat we understand their uniqueneeds."

The senior market today haschanged greatly since its inception,

Buy your home through your local bankThe whole process of applying for and getting a mort-

gage can be a bit intimidating, especially for first timehome buyers. However, once you know what to expect, itbecomes much easier. Your community bank is a greatplace to start. What better place to get a mortgage than onethat is familiar with your community?

"Many people turn to their community bank whenlooking for a mortgage for a reason — it's usually your bestbest," says Mercedes Pedrick, vice president of MortgageOringinations at Spencer Savings Bank. "Communitybanks have a vested interest in their communities. There-fore, they offer competitive mortgages in order to makesure they do business in their community. You'll also

receive better service from a bank with established roots inyour community."

These tips will help speed up your approval process:• Save three to six months of potential monthly housing

expenses.• Look for and correct inaccuracies on your credit

report before applying for a mortgage.• Bring two months of bank statements and two years

of W2 forms when you apply.While getting a mortgage does take some work, your

community bank is ready to help you .Listen to the advice of your loan officer and keep in

mind that when it's all over you will be a homeowner.

said Parisi. "In our area, the majorityof the marketplace consists ofS200,0Q0-pius businessmen retire-

ment homes," he said."The SRES designation differenti-

ates our agents from the competition.With only 6,000 SRES designates,they belong to an elite group of spe-cialists within the mature communi-ty," stated Helen Marziarz, presidentand broker at ERA All Realty.

"ERA is making it very convenientfor its sales professionals to betterhelp the senior market by offeringSRES designation through its e-cam-pus online training center, which alsoincludes more than 100 other trainingcourses online," she added.
