Joe Barton, owner of Barton Nursery on New Durham Road, has filed an ethics complaint against his neighbor, Zoning Board member Anthony Russomanno. Mr. Barton said Mr. Russamano has a vendet­ta against him and is trying to hurt his business.

Lately we’ve been pushing our audiovisual collections in this col­umn. Lest we forget, the library is mainly a place for books. We’ve recently added a number of new titles to our fiction and nonfiction collections. Just to look at fiction for a moment, we’ve added new works by Johanna Lindsey, John Mortimer, Susan Howatch, Danielle Steel and Sue Grafton. In nonfiction we’ve added books on subjects ranging from travel to job-changing.

Please come in and see what the printed page can offer you this summer. Just be careful get­ting beach sand in the bindings.

Graduates end high school with good clean funBy JONATHAN CHOACORRESPONDENT

Instead of slamming beers on graduation night, Metuchen High School’s newest alumni will have the opportunity to dress like sumo wrestlers and slam each other.

This and other events are all a part of Project Graduation, an all night drug and alcohol-free chap­eroned party sponsored by the high school.

Metuchen High School’s Project Graduation held its party Wednesday night at the Birch Hills Swim Club in Old Bridge. Activities were scheduled from 10:30 p.m. to 6:30 in the morn­ing.

At the swim club students swam, played basketball or vol­leyball, had their caricature done and danced to a disc jockey. Activities also featured a moon- walk, which is a large air filled

mat that covers the floor of a rac- quetball court. The overall effect is like that of walking on a large water bed.

Highland Park High School’s newest graduates will have a slightly more moving experience on their graduation night Monday, the graduates will cruise around Manhattan on board the Amber Jack, where there will be dinner and a disc jockey.

The students will depart from Highland Park High School for the South Street Seaport in Manhattan at 10:30 p.m. The boat will depart there at mid­night for the cruise. Graduates will return to the high school around 5 a.m. where a breakfast, provided by the parents, will be awaiting them.

The cruise and Project Graduation have been a part of Highland Park High School’s graduation festivities for nine

years.“It is designed to keep stu­

dents out of vehicles and away from alcohol and other drugs on graduation night,” said Tonia Moore, the coordinator of Project Graduation for Highland Park High School.

Edison High School and J.P Stevens High School held a joint Project Graduation. They were at the New Jersey Convention and Exposition Center last night. The

event started around 11 p.m. and ended around 4 a.m. On the con­vention room floor were two disc jockey’s, a caricaturist, a fortune teller, bouncy boxing, bungee run, rock wall climbing, basket­ball, volleyball and pool.

The event, paid for by fund­raising and donations through­out the year, also featured unlim­ited food.

Project Graduation began in Maine as a result of several grad-

Metuchen man charged with threatening to shoot mother

An Aylin Street man was charged with making terrorist threats after threatening to shoot his mother in the head at the fami­ly’s apartment June 9, Officer Robert Tbirisi said.

Wayne Stoeker, 21, was alleged­ly drunk when he began fighting with his mother and his brother around 2:15 a.m., causing the mother to call police.

The mother was not sure if her son had a gun because he had been talking about buying one. When police arrived, the mother was out­side the apartment and Mr. Stoeker was inside with his younger brother, police said.

Duty Commander Officer Sandy MacMath decided to contact Mr. Stoeker by telephone rather than burst into the home in case he had a weapon. Mr. Stoeker surrendered and a check of the scene did not turn up a firearm, officials said.

A Cummings Court man was charged with aggravated assault June 6 in connection with an inci­dent that happened between him and his girlfriend June 5, authori­ties said. Police received a call from Robert Wood Johnson University

Hospital staff June 5 reporting a patient who had been assaulted.

The following day Officers David Irizarry and David Liantoni went to the home of William O’Connor, 46, who was found lying fully clothed in his bed. When police pulled the sheets down, they found an ice pick, a 28-inch machete and a knife also in the bed. Mr. O’Connor was not charged with possession of weapons because he was in his own home at the time, authorities said.

***Roy Baptiste, of Grove Street in

Edison was charged with several crimes after police followed him from the train station on Main Street to Center Street June 10, police said. When police approached Mr. Baptiste, 19, he put two decks of heroin into his mouth.

While police were trying to keep him from swallowing the narcotics, Mr. Baptiste burned an officer’s arm with a cigarette and later

Police probe woman’s deathBy Karen BitzSTAFF WRITER

EDISON — A township woman was found dead in a small motel in the Avenel section of Woodbridge Sunday morning, authorities said.

Suzanne Swal, 27, was pro­nounced dead at 3:54 a.m. at Rahway Hospital. The cause of death was asphyxiation through strangulation.

Reports said Ms. Swal had checked into the Americana Motel around 2 a.m. Sunday morning with another man. The man, later identified at Michael Hansen, a 21- year-old Port Reading volunteer fire fighter, left the motel alone

some 20 minutes later.Ms. Swal’s body was found

around 3 a.m. Mr. Hansen turned himself over to authorities around 4 a.m.

Ms. Swal was bom in Perth Amboy and lived in Avenel before moving to Harold Road in Edison 10 years ago. She lived with her parents, John and Grace. She was a data entry clerk for Edison Medial Group and at member of St. Helena’s Roman Catholic Church in Edison.

Mr. Hansen faces 30 years to life on charges he murdered Ms. Swal. Bail was set by Judge Barnett E. Hoffman at $250,000 in a New Brunswick Courtroom

Probe of yellow tongues continueBy Karen BitzSTAFF WRITER

EDISON — In the wake of several workers coming down with strange symptoms, the Middlesex County Water Company has halted digging at its expansion project but neighbors are demanding a shut down of all work at the Fairview Avenue site.

“We want construction halted because it’s potentially very dangerous,” Fairview Avenue resident Denise Buzzelli said. “It could be numerous things all of them very dangerous.”

In recent months workers at the site have complained of fatigue, nausea and yellow tongues in recent months. These workers believe the symptoms are related to contaminants in the ground. Hygienists from the Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Occupational and Safety Administration, the Middlesex County Health Department and the Edison Health Department have been taking soil samples at the area since the problem was brought to light last week.

Last weekend Ms. Buzzelli and her husband, Michael, circu­lated a petition demanding a halt to the entire $30 million, two- year expansion project at the water facility. After getting 160 signatures, the couple presented the petition to Mayor George Spadoro.

Mayor Spadoro sent a letter to Richard Tompkins, president of the water company pressuring him to halt construction and uncover the root of the problems.

Bernadette Stohler, water company spokeswoman, said only excavation has been halted because, the root of the problem appears to lie in the soil.

“We’re doing tests and they’re due back in six of seven days,” she said. “Meanwhile there’s a lot of other work to be done.”

Workers at the site are continuing to concrete pouring and carpentry. Once soil tests come back, Mr. Stohler said the com­pany will re-evaluate the situation.

“When you don’t know about something, things get fueled out of proportion,” she said. “We’ve stopped excavating and once we know if anything comes back, we’ll go from there.”

Local officials have reached an agreement with the company whereby the soil must be covered to prevent run-off; soil sam­ples must be taken and water wells must be sampled. If these requests are not granted, Mayor Spadoro said he would consid­er issuing a stop work order.

The Fairview Avenue water treatment site provides water to 212,000 residents in Middlsex County. Company officials said it is impossible that any soil contaminants could infiltrate the water supply because of multiple barriers between the soil and water lines.

EDISON — The township is showing its business to the planet via the world wide web.

The Edison Area Chamber of Commerce recently formed its own web page on the Internet. The site lists area businesses as well as history and current events relating to Edison.

“We have information on the businesses in Edison but also it could be for someone interested in moving to Edison,” said Richard Belcher, of Sable Advertising, one of the creators of the website.

The site is registered with more than 450 search engines and directories and will be updat­ed monthly. Activity will be moni­tored regularly for traffic reports.

Since the page became alive three weeks ago, it has receive about 7,810 hits with 226 extend­ed users staying on an average eight minutes and 44 seconds, Mr. Belcher said. Hits on the site

have been received from as far away as Switzerland and Germany.

Mr. Belcher began collaborat­ing on a similar project for Point Pleasant, where his company is based, but the idea never materi­alized. He came to Edison to find a larger organization with which to work.

“We wanted to work on a group organization where we could make money for ourselves and benefit the chamber,” he said.

The enterprise benefits Sable Advertising when companies pay for Internet advertising and serves the chamber when Sable gives the agency a reciprocity fee, Mr. Belcher said. Companies can advertise by banner and category listings.

“We thought of it as an added service for the Edison Chamber of Commerce so our members could advertise what they do,” Chamber Executive Director Marc Leavitt said. “It links us into the most modem technology and it will benefit everyone.”

Crafts, fun, jazz and food in Metuchen Sunday

Three great jazz bands, lots of crafts and great food highlight the Metuchen Street Fair and Jazz Festival set for Sunday.

Thousands are expected to again fill the streets from noon until 6 p.m. Admission is free.

The Metuchen Chamber of Commerce sponsors this down­town celebration which features more than 100 exhibitors with a full array of high-quality crafts, art, tasty festival food and fun family activities for parents to enjoy with their children.

Traffic along New and main streets in the downtown will be detoured noon-6 p.m. for the Metuchen Street Fair and Jazz Festival.

A stage area near the corner of Main and New Street will fea­ture all-day music such as the cool jazz of Perception, Positive Rhythmic Force and One More Once. A full schedule of enter­tainment will begin at noon.

Children and their parents will enjoy pony rides and a pet­ting zoo, a Moonwalk, temporary tattoos and face painting.

In addition to the crafts exhibition, some local merchants and community organizations plan to participate. More than 14 food concessions will tempt hungry Street Fair-goers with tasty selections of BBQ kebobs, cheese steaks, and Strawberry Dan’s tasty “Jersey Devil” sandwich, a zesty grilled tomato and basil sandwich served with provolone cheese.

Congratulationsgraduates

Pomp and circumstance. Gowns and grins. Tassels and tears.

Graduation marks a time to say goodbye to the past and hello to the future. It is a time to reflect on how we got to where we are today and speculate where we might be tomorrow.

All too often, lost in all that reflection and speculation is the fact that graduation is a team effort. While each diplo­ma bears the name of only one recipient, there is a long line of supporting players who deserve “assists” in this accomplishment - teachers, coaches, advisers, friends, and family. Just as the graduates are proud of completing this phase of their education, of their lives, all the supporting players deserve congratulations as well. With their guid­ance, wisdom and patience, they helped the graduates travel along each step of the road to this destination.

But this is not the end of the journey, only a crossroad. The graduates face many new roads ahead. They will trav­el those roads bolstered by all their “supporting cast” has given them.

Congratulations to all area graduates in the Class of 1998. In the midst of your celebration, pause to remember and thank all those who helped you along the way. Savor the moment before you begin your new journey.

Letters to the editor

Probe by Kenneth Starr has to endTo The Editor:

For more than four years, special prosecutor Kenneth Starr has squandered tens of millions of tax dollars in a disgraceful political witch hunt with the sole intent of discrediting the president of the United States and his office. Having been unable to find a single indictable offense, Mr. Starr has been reduced to the disgusting spectacle of claiming that the president committed the horrifying crime of “kissing and not telling” and should, therefore, be impeached.

Now, let me get this straight. This is the same Kenneth Starr, an attorney and officer of the court charged with high public office, who first publicly denied charges that his office had leaked grand jury information and, in response to the charge, pursued a belligerent crusade against alleged White House sources. Now, he has publicly confessed that he was, after all, the source of leaks, but blandly declines to acknowledge any wrongdoing. Where is the greater crime?

The time has come to end this farce, and I call upon my representatives and every decent member of Congress (and I really don’t think that’s an oxy­moron) to do so. Having already disgraced this

nation by his unfounded, malicious attacks which overwhelmingly surpass any alleged misbehavior of the president, Mr. Starr has reached the point where not only his integrity but his sanity come into question.

Once before, I witnessed the frightening specta­cle of a demented but deadly individual threatening the stability of this nation. His name was Joseph McCarthy, and only the bravery of a few who dared to challenge his filthy lies and tactics saved the day. Are there none in Congress now equal to that task, none who has the courage to challenge the excesses of this highly paid character assassin, Kenneth Starr? If not, then I call upon President Clinton to take the perhaps politically deadly but highly nec­essary step of firing Mr. Starr forthwith!

PS. To the “friend and neighbor” who has writ­ten in his/her anonymous, cowardly and conde­scending manner to explain the depth of my igno­rance and the error of my views, don’t bother! The day will come when historians will cite the black­ened names of Kenneth Starr and Joseph McCarthy in the same breath!

Hazards are lurking outdoorsTo The Editor:

With the summer months upon us, we will find ourselves spending more of our time outdoors. But unfortunately, amongst the fun of picnics, ball games, and the beach, hazards do lurk.

Health officials are forecasting an abnormally high tick population this summer. This winter’s weather has created conditions favorable for ticks to breed and thrive. This translates into an increased risk of acquiring the tick-bone infection known a Lyme disease.

The risk, however, can be curbed considerably by taking certain measures. When outside, use insect repellent and keep your skin covered by light-col­ored clothing. Beyond these preventative steps, you should get to know your surroundings. Do they include woods, grassy areas deer, and small mam­mals such as mice? These conditions are friendly to ticks, and thus increase your risk of acquiring Lyme

disease. After being outside, you should check your­self, your children, and your pets for ticks.

It is also important to know when you may have Lyme disease. Symptoms include fatigue, headaches, fever, chills, and muscles pain. Notice that these symptoms are deceptively similar to those of the flu. But if these symptoms are accom­panied by a rash where the bite took place, you may be infected. In the event of these symptoms, med­ical attention should be sought. Caught early, most instances of Lyme disease are easily treated with antibiotics.

Understanding how and where Lyme disease can be acquired, and how to recognize its presence, are important parts of making your summer leisure truly care-free.

YMCA helps build communitiesTo The Editor:

When most find reason to complain, we have reason to boast. In Metuchen, we are fortunate to have Metuchen-Edison YMCA (MEY).

MEY is the group of dedicated volunteers and staff that to provide the communities of Metuchen, Edison, Woodbridge with the highest quality ser­vices and programs that have been recognized as the benchmark by Y s across the country.

While there are many people who are involved in every level of MEY, what makes it all happen is the leadership, William Lovett, executive director. Bill joined MEY in 1988. Since that time, MEY has become a leader in aquatics, running or assisting the operation of six pools and a leader in child care with six award-winning and fully accredited sites. While completing a $2.5 million drive to renovate

the main facility, Bill helped initiate Project Graduation, First Night and Project Share. He co­chaired a project called S.T.A.R., a student and teacher achievement recognition program for out­standing community service. This week the Jewish Community Center of Edison and MEY formed a new type of collaboration, a first in the state and possibly the country. The list goes on.

Without Bill’s dedication and determination, our communities would not be what they are today. As former NJ First Lady Lucinda Florio puts it, “New Jersey’s best kept secret is our small towns.”

What makes are small towns to great are people like Bill and organizations like the Y.

Wishing Chief Hall a happy retirementTo The Editor:

I sat in Borough Hall (on June 15) with a stand­ing room only crowd who came to thank and pay tribute to retiring Police Chief Frederick Hall. The plaques and commendations came from police fra­ternities, local residents, government, friends and family. Chief Hall is a wise and fair man who has served the borough of Metuchen for 40 years. He is a humble man who appreciated all accolades, but could see he was most proud when his beautiful wife Delores received a service commendation from (the Policemen’s Benevolent Association) as the first lady of the Metuchen Police Department.

Just a few weeks ago, Chief Hall was one of (the) grand marshals (at the Memorial Day parade) rep­resenting the Korean War veterans. He also humbly and reluctantly accepted that honor. When he spoke at the ceremony in Memorial Park, his words were strong and true, honoring this great country, the United States of the America. The chief vowed never to forget the sacrifice made by veter­

ans of all wars and never to rest until each (prison­er of war) and (person missing in action) is brought home. His words helped me to rededicate myself to completing and providing for the perpetual care of Memorial Park.

Under the command of Chief Hall, Metuchen’s police force has become a strong community asset. When I am asked about the safety factor of our fine community by someone considering a move to Metuchen, I cam unequivocally say, “Yes, Metuchen is a safe and protected place to live.” The current and future citizens owe a debt of gratitude to Chief Hall and all his fine officers, including incoming Chief James Keane and Capt. Steward Novak who recently retired.

We all wish Chief and Deloris Hall a long and happy retirement, and sincerely hope they both continue to be a big part of Metuchen’s future.

A changing world

The noise of the wagons an(l carts was unmistakable. As they came along the jutted, dirt road, thfe clanging of pails and pots was noisy enough to make one take notice. The wagons themselves, oddly-corj- structed assortments of board and canvas, seemed to sway with theiSr own movement. Under the canvas tarps, arrayed as they were like conestoga dome-tops, there werji boxes and crates of many splendor array - medicines, silverware, glass bowls, candlesticks, candles, laces and fabrics, toys, hoops, and much more. Alongside the wagons, dogjs carried the sounds of play, not alarm, to all along the route. It wa's Summertime once again, and the itinerant sales wagons were back on the trails.

They would come through each season - carrying hard to find wares through farm lanes and wooded glades, past towns and settlements along rivers and hills. The true arrival of the warm season could be gauged accordingly - it was only when the truth of summer and not its hesitant reluctance to falsely arrive was firmly fixed in the heav­ens that these noises started. The wagon men, perched atop their wood-board seats some eight feet above the ground, would travel Jn groups and peddle wares wherever they could. Like some traveling sideshow, they often had with them tricksters, magicians, sleight of hand artist, quack medicine-mqn and chanters, an entire array, of exotics by which each small locale and farm community was suddenly invigorated and interested. Their children came along with them, for now it was summer and there was no schooling of chores or nettlesome tasks to be done. Six or seven weeks on the road with parents and others in tow afforded these children js much of an education as did ten months in some cramped and flushed schoolhouse ‘mist cold and damp. They learned as they went)

Here and there, the sales people were truly unwelcome. Made to feOl unwanted and kept at arm’s length by the townsfolk, they often camped on the fringes of settlement so as not to enrage the locals. Thievery and pilferage, it was said, became common, become a sure thing, when they began rolling around towns locally. Stately gen­tlemen from the town councils would often meet the wagons at town’s end and gently admonish them elsewhere. The freedom and the glory of the job was that these salespeople could, very easily, turn to another direction and change their route without really affecting anything. A new customer was oftentimes better than an old.

The assortment of materials which they carried changed froih season to season too. Nonetheless, the farm wife or the rural house­keeper often took a certain kind of pleasure in choosing from obscure and quite different goods - the chasers and elixirs unheard of, the magical potions to ward off disease and augue, the genteel fabrics from faraway lands, and the beautiful and attractive household tools, china, goblets and the like. A rugged life of making one’s own gar­ments and scalding one’s own milk in tired old pots and pans was often relieved by the tumbled gaiety of something new and different. So then, the traveling salesforce was always welcomed somewhere - with joy and pleasure, and with candy for the children.

It was, truly, a different world. It was a time and a manner bereft of the fierce doubt of competition and fixity with which we today plant goods firmly in store, behind f0ur walls and marked with prices and uses strictly delineated. The gloss and polish of today’s merchant world towers over these earlier, primitive attempts at salesmanship - so often combined with bilking and cheating, or with misrepresent­ing the assorted benefits promised from this or that concoction. Soon enough, the pharmacist and chemist outdid even the salesman in tonics and cures. The grand emporiums replaced the array; of pots and pans dangling from wagon side. The broadly lit merchandise mart did away with the low-light campfire of traveler and family (>ut for a summer’s sale along roads and by-ways. The local map inside each person’s head was changed forever as society itself grew and moved along its more circumscribed paths. Tbwn and village became city and burbs. The whole world has

posal to erect a cellular commu­nication tower on Liberty Street.

The Planning Board denied an application for the tower in 1995.

Joe Divis, a spokesman for Comcast, said the withdrawing the lawsuit was the result of changing technological needs in the cellular industry.

“During the time since we began pursuing the site, which was probably four years ago, technology and market forces have continued to evolve which have caused us to reevaluate our needs.” he said.

“We found it is unlikely we would need to build on this site anytime soon.”

Since Comcast filed the suit, the borough has taken steps to accommodate cellular companies, establishing an ordinance allow­ing towers in certain sections of Metuchen.

Mr. Divis said his company would work with Metuchen to find an agreeable site for a tower in the event Comcast needs to erect one in the area.

“It has never been our objec­tive to take municipalities to court,” he said.

Borough Attorney David Frizell said the council created a law allowing towers to combat supreme court legislation favor­ing cellular carriers.

The legislation has already allowed the approval of a tower by Sprint off Prospect Avenue.

The borough has also attempt­ed to lease space on an existing tower on Department of Public Works property.

No bids had been made on the space when The Review went to press and none were expected, Borough Clerk Bonnie Lacina said.

G E O R G E PACC IELLO /STA FF P H O T O G R A P H E R The Rev. Ronald L. Owens and Milton T. Owners, youth pastor, welcomes Stephen Baker, a form er Giants football player, to New Hope’s Youth Conference.

Former NFL player guides youth in a different pathBY FAT1MAH MCALLISTERSPECIAL CORRESPONDENT

METUCHEN — Stephen Baker, an ex-wide receiver for the New York Giants, came to New Hope Baptist Church Saturday to try and motivate the youth.

As part of New Hope’s second annual youth conference, Baker made sure his focus was on the children and spirituality.

He stressed the importance of making the right choices in life, staying away from the wrong crowd and following after the wrong people.

The former NFL player gave tips to the children on how they should apply themselves when it comes to school.

“Always stay a step ahead,” Baker said. “Just like you prac­

tice for a sport in your spare time, go pick up a book in your spare time.”

Growing up in California, Baker’s mother made sure he knew about God and the impor­tance of spirituality. Through his mother’s influence he was able to share this knowledge with the people of New Hope.

“My mother kept me in church which kept me out of trouble”, said the former Giants wide receiver. “I thank the Lord every­day for what he has done for me.”

Now a physical education teacher at the E.G. Paten School in Perth Amboy, Baker talked about his life in the NFL. He stressed to the young men that making it in professional sports was not everything.

“You have to set goals in your life outside of sports. If you do

try to pursue a career in any pro­fessional sport have a back up plan.”

After attending West Los Angeles Junior College, Baker went onto Fresno State and was then drafted to the New York Giants.

He retired after playing seven years in the NFL.

The children listen and sat attentively during Baker’i speech. During the question am answer period, Baker answered questions ranging from his per­sonal life down to what was it like being in the NFL.

“He’s helping us out,” said Darren Serioux of Plainfield; who attended the conference! “He’s a football player and he talked about the importance of having an education. He gave us a lot of good advice.”

Somerset County... the Crossroads of New Jersey

The best thing about this subject is that you don’t have to do it well. You simply have to try.

If you try, your kids will get themessage.

That you care about them.That you understand something

about the conflicts they face.That you’re there when they

need you.The alternative is to ignore the subject.

Which means your kids are going to be listening to others who have strong opinions about the subject. Including those who use drugs. And those who sell them.Accept rebellion.

At the heart of it, drugs, alcohol, wild hairstyles, trendy clothes, ear-splitting music, outrageous language are different ways of expressing teen-age rebellion.

That’s not all bad. Part of growing up is to create a separate identity, apart from parents - a process which ultimately leads to feelings of self worth. A step along that path is rebellion of one kind or another - which is to say rejecting parental values, and staking out new ones.

You did it. They’re doing it. And that’s the way it is.

The problem comes when kids choose a path of rebellion that hurts them, destroys their self worth, and can ultimately kill them.

That’s the reality of drugs.

“Why do you think kids get involved with drugs?”“How do other kids deal with peer

pressure to use drugs? Which ap­proaches make sense to you?”“Have you talked about any of this

in school?”However you get into the subject,

it’s important to state exactly now strongly you feel about it.

Not in threatening tones. But in matter-of- fact, unmistakably clear language:

“Drugs are a way of hurting yourself.”“Drugs take all the promise of being young

and destroy it.”“I love you too much to see you throw your

life down the drain.”Some do’s and don’t s.

The do’s are as simple as speaking from the heart.

The biggest don’t is don’t do all the talking.If you listen to your kids - really listen and read between the lines - you’ll learn a lot about what they think. About drugs. About themselves. About the world. And about you. They’ll also feel heard and that, too, is a step along the path towards self esteem.

There are other do’s and don’ts: Don’t threat­en. Don’t badger them. Don’t put your kid on the spot by asking directly if he or she has ever tried drugs. They’ll probanly lie which under­mines your whole conversation.

It’s never too early to start.

Don’t get discouraged.When you talk to your kids about drugs, it may

seem as though nothing is getting through.Don’t you believe it.The very fact you say it gives special weight to

whatever you say.But whether or not your kids let on they’ve

heard you, whether or not they play back your words weeks or months later, keep trying.Start anywhere.

“Have you heard about any kids using drugs?”“What kind of drugs V“How do you feel about that?”

n you suspect your cnild is on drugs - there are all sorts of symptoms - that’s a different matter. Then you’ve got to confront the subject directly. (This will be another ad in this contin­uing series.)

In the meantime, just talk to them.It’s okay if you don’t know much about drugs.Your kids do.But they need to know how you feel about

the subject.And whether you care.

For more information on how to talk with your kids about drugs, ask for a free copy o f "A Parent’s Guide to Prevention." Call 1-800-675-1127.

Grandparents step into role as primary caregiverBy KIMBERLY WOODSSTAFF WRITER

The 57-year-old Piscataway woman is about to enter another phase in her life as retirement age approaches.

Aside from thinking about retiring, making travel plans, She is raising her second family.

The woman, who has three <> grown sons, is raising two young

grandchildren and is part of a growing trend in the U.S., grand-

■ parents who are raising their grandchildren.

< “Everything is different,” the woman said about the differences of raising her grandchildren now versus raising her three sons more than 30 years ago.

When she was younger and Energetic, she was able to keep up with three boys, taking them to school, baseball games and other activities, she said.

” Now, that history is repeating itself, she is older.> The woman is one of many

’ who have joined The Grandparents RaisingGrandchildren Coalition, a Middlesex County organization that has been trying to establish

’ its? roots.Middlesex was one of six coun­

ties to receive a $6,000 state grant to establish the coalition.

After several meetings, the comments from participants were compiled and sent to state officials for review. The overall need is that grandparents want the legislature to advocate their needs and to provide more fund­ing to help those who need finan­cial assistance, said Tina McCormack, director for the divi­

sion of children services for Middlesex County.

An estimated four million chil­dren in the U.S. live in a house­hold headed by a grandparent. For more than 1.5 million of these children, no parent is pre­sent and the grandparent assumes the role as the primary caregiver to their grandchildren or great-grandchildren, accord­ing to the American Association of Retired Persons.

Aside from the Middlesex County coalition, the AARP has created the Grandparents Information Center, based in Washington, D.C., to serve as a national resource center for grandparent-headed families, program providers, professionals, researchers, policymakers and the public.

There are several reasons why children are in the situation where they have to live with fam­ily members other than their par­ents. Those situations include drug addiction, an early death, or not being financially secure to raise a family.

While state officials try to come up with a possible solution, this not so new trend continues for some Middlesex County resi­dents.

The Piscataway woman, whose identity isn’t being revealed to protect her family’s identity, has been raising her grandchildren for three years.

The full-time nurse has tem­porary custody of her son’s two children — a 7-year-old boy and a 10-year-old girl — because of her son’s and his wife’s drug addic­t s , she said.

When the children were living

with their parents, the children were not being properly cared for and their parents were strug­gling financially and were facing the possibility of being evicted, she said.

Because her son and his wife were in denial about their addic­tion and couldn’t take care of their children, the woman decid­ed something must be done for her grandchildren, the woman said.

“They (her son and wife) do not have the proper lifestyle to raise kids,” she said.

So at a time when she has the freedom to take vacations, shop or just to be home alone, the Piscataway grandmother is rais­ing her second family.

But now the world is a little different from when she was rais­ing her sons.

“I’m frighten for them,” she said about not allowing her grandchildren to go off alone.

“I would let my boys walk down to the park by themselves,” the woman said. “Now I would never dream of letting them (grandchildren) go the park by themselves.”

While she is not struggling financially, she does work as a private duty nurse part-time on the weekends to earn extra money.

She does get help around the house from another son and her 80-year-old mother, but things still get tough.

“It’s been a rough haul,” she said.

The woman said she joined the Grandparents Raising Grandchildren coalition for sup­port and learned there are others

in the same situation.“I don’t need a handout,” she

said. “I just thing think some­thing should be done to help grandparents.”

Jill Williams of Edison is another example of how a person steps in to raise the young off­spring of a family member.

The 38-year-old computer con­sultant has been raising Jasmine, her 6-year-old great- niece since she was an infant.

Ms. Williams was given per­manent custody of the child

because of the child’s mother’s drug addiction and the plans of the division of Youth and Family Services to take her away from her mother.

Jasmine has three sisters that are being cared for by Ms. William’s mother in Matawan.

Ms. Williams, who has a 20- year-old son in college, said it’s a challenge to raise another child because Jasmine suffers from attention deficit disorder. She is enrolled in special education classes at a township public

school.“It’s very difficult when you

have a child born addicted,” she said. “They have special needs.”

Those needs include having a hard time understanding class work, Ms. Williams said.

Like the Piscataway woman and others in the coalition, Ms. Williams would like the govern­ment to help with daycare, espe­cially for those who have retired and have to return to work to make ends meet.

Harvey Reid kicks off the series on June 24 with folk, country, classical, blues, ragtime, rockabilly, Celtic, blue- grass, and popular influences all played on the six & twelve string guitars, banjo, autoharp, and mandolin. Many of the pieces will be folk famil­iars with Harvey’s own original compositions and razor sharp sense of humor.

On July 8 is Lucy Kaplansky, a talent of the acoustic world. With a Ph.D. in Psychology (yes, Dr. Kaplansky), she is the former singing partner of 1998 Grammy Song of the Year award-winner, Shawn Colvin. Lucy is carving her own unique place in the world of folk music with performances that touch her audiences.

Following on July 15, are the Burns Sisters — Annie, Marie, and Jeannie. These sisters have been singing together for so long, it seems their voices blend instinctively with Everly Brothers-like harmonies. They cross the boundaries between country, folk, rock, and R&B.

July 22 brings Christine Lavin, a queen of contemporary folk music. Christine is out on the forefront of the wave of folk and acoustic music that is catching new fans. The comedic singer-song­writer-social commentator’s shows are known for selling out regularly.

To round out the series on Aug. 8 is Richard Shindell. Having just fin­ished touring with the legendary Joan Baez, he is one of the brightest voices on the folk scene. Some say his voice recalls James Taylor,Gordon Lightfoot or Michael Stipe.

These are summer-evening con­cert series without the heat, humid­ity or mosquitoes. Audience mem­bers will enjoy the comfort of a fully air-conditioned theater with seat­ing and a clear view of the stage.Leave your lawn chairs at home.

Downtown New Brunswick offers convenient parking and a great variety of restaurants to please any palate, all within walk­ing distance of the theater. Tickets are $15 and can be ordered through George Street Playhouse box office by calling (732) 246-7717.

Metuchen native owns Atlanta biz

METUCHEN — Larry Spigner knew early on that he was destined to be an entrepre­neur. The Metuchen High School graduate felt a personal drive to succeed. He studied at St. Emma Military School in Virginia and received a bachelor’s degree from Allen University in Columbia, S.C.

Early in the 1990s Mr. Spigner moved to Atlanta, and opened Lord & Spig Transportation Group, a 24-hour limousine ser­vice for corporate executives. With the Olympic Games of 1996 he expanded the company to transport visitors to and from major events in and around Atlanta.

Mr. Spigner can be found in his office and behind the wheel of his company’s limousines, according to a press release from the firm. Those who get to travel in the company’s flagship vehicle enjoy his Northern humor and his spin on historic sights of Atlanta. He also has two sons, Sidney and Larry, and a brother, Bernard. Mr. Spigner is the son of Robert Spigner of Metuchen and the late Lillian Shuler

SPEC IAL TO TH E R EV IE W Metuchen High graduate Ali Hatola hit. 348 with 31 runs scored, 27 stolen bases and 18 walks in her junior season at Muhlenberg College (PA).

Hatola stealingshow for MulesBy DAN ARKANSSTAFF WRITER

1' As long as Metuchen High graduate Ali Hatola can get away with it, she’ll keep on

t stealing bases.Hatola thieved 27 bases this

season for the Muhlenberg College (PA.) softball team, which broke her school-record of 26 from the previous season. Hatola, a junior centerfielder for the Mules, now has 68 career steals which is tops in the histo­ry of Muhlenburg College.

She entered the final game at Kean with 25 steals and swiped two bases to end the season with her new school-record of 27.

“It was definitely a goal,” said Hatola of the stolen base record. “I wanted to have more. Hopefully, next year I’ll be able to do it again. I was excited to break my old record.”

Hatola has some lofty goals next year in her final season at Muhlenberg and it all starts with stealing some more bases.

“My goal is to hit 100 stolen bases next year,” said Hatola, who was named to the All- Centennial Conference second team this spring. “Thirty-two steals, it’s reachable.”

Hatola proved to be more than just a basestealer for the Mules, hitting .348 with 31 runs scored and 18 walks. She will enter her senior season with a career batting average of .312, third on the all-time list at Muhlenberg with 83 runs scored and is just eight hits away from becoming the ninth player in team history to record 100 hits.

“I was a little disappointed,” said Hatola of her junior season. “I thought I could’ve done more. We played more games. Even though it looks like I improved with the numbers, I didn’t. I had more opportunities.”

Hatola hit .374 in her sopho­more season with 30 runs scored and 26 stolen bases in just 29 games. Muhlenberg had 37 games this spring and posted a record of 16-21.

“I can always do better,” said Hatola. “I made first team (All-

< Conference) last year. I was still pleased with it (making second team). This season, I had

stronger ups and downs. I felt I was more solid my sophomoreyear.”

Hatola certainly had an amazing sophomore season, con­sidering she hit just .202 as a freshman with 18 hits and 15 stolen bases in 33 games.

“It’s been a pretty big step up,” said Hatola of adjusting to Division 3 college softball after playing at Metuchen. “In high school softball, there are a cou­ple of people who shine. Everyone is a solid player in col­lege. It’s a pretty big change. You play a lot of games. There’s a lot more time involved.”

Hatola, a left-handed leadoff hitter for the Mules, certainly adjusted after a rocky first sea­son. With her speed, she’s able to bunt, slap or just hit her way on to get things rolling for Muhlenberg.

“I try to keep it a surprise whether I’m bunting, hitting or slapping,” said Hatola, who’s majoring in psychology and ele­mentary education. “If they expect a slap, I try to swing away. I try to keep them on their toes. I try to keep it in play and try to beat it out. Everybody plays me in. They play me for a slap hit.”

Hatola has no regrets about her decision to attend Muhlenberg. She still has that love of softball and despite the struggles of the team, it was another fun year for this Metuchen graduate.

“I knew it’s a big-time com­mitment,” said Hatola of play­ing college softball. “I’m having a lot of fun with it. I don’t know how it is in Division 1 or 2. I haven’t lost the fun of softball. It hasn’t been so intense that I’ve burned out.” Although the Mules were a sub-.500 team, they did manage to defeat nationally ranked Messiah College. That was the highlight of Muhlenberg’s season but with the nucleus returning next sea­son, Hatola is hopeful the team can challenge for the conference title.

“It’s a toss-up to see who’s going to take the conference. Hopefully, Muhlenberg will do it next year. I thought we had a better chance this year,"said

SportsBriegs rising to new heightsEdison resident skysurfing all the way to the X GamesBy DAN ARKANSSTAFF WRITER

Eight years ago when Edison resident Dave Briegs took his first jump out of a plane, he never dreamed he’d be skysurf­ing in the X Games.

But that’s exactly where he is, beginning tomorrow and running through June 28 in San Diego, California. Briegs, along with teammate Andy Boschi of New Providence, are one of 10 teams in the world invited to compete in the skysurfing event of the X Games which will be televised on ESPN and ESPN2 with segments also appearing on ABC’s Wide World of Sports.

Briegs, 33, is the one with the $800 surfboard attached to his feet while Boschi films him. Judges count 50 percent for tech­nical and 50 for camera presenta­tion. Boschi actually has an attachment on his camera which is transmitted to a big-screen television that the judges view live. To be a skysurfer means jumping out of a plane from 13,000 feet at 120 miles an hour while deploying your parachute in 50 seconds.

“I certainly didn’t set out eight years ago to be a skysurfer,” said Briegs. “I thought it’d be some­thing I’d just try. It gets kind of addicting. I made 25 jumps the first couple of years. It’s fairly expensive. I couldn’t easily sup­port it. As I had more money, I got into freestyle skydiving. I hooked up with Andy. He started playing around with video. It was

a natural combination.”Skysurfers from New Jersey

seem about as unlikely as the fact that both Briegs and Boschi are in the financial field. Briegs works for Merrill Lynch in Edison as a senior financial con­sultant. By day, he has a boring job but at night, he certainly lets his hair down.

“It’s a very conservative stuffy job,” said Briegs, who has an assistant that handles his clients when he’s out of town jumping. “While my peers are golfing, I’m jumping out of a plane. They think I’m nuts. The perception and reality of it is vast. There’s an element of risk. It’s a very manageable one.”

Most people wouldn’t think it’s a manageable risk but a crazy endeavor. Everyone hears about the bungy jumpers who plunge to their death but according to Briegs, that’s certainly not a nor­mal occurrence in sky jumping.

“It’s not more dangerous than jumping in a car and going away for the weekend,” said Briegs, who graduated from Woodbridge High School in 1983. “People are oblivious to the risk. In the air, the risk is obvious. Perception is the only difference. Me and Andy have 2,500 jumps between the two of us and we’re still walking around. Bungy jumping is extremely safe and you see one or two accidents because you have some careless video operator let it happen. It’s rare.”

Despite the risk, Briegs can’t believe he’s in the X Games after just two years of competition.

Barton hoping to reverse fortunesBy DAN ARKANSSTAFF WRITER

The Clara Barton American Legion Post 324 baseball team has been been the forgotten squad in Edison over the past couple of sea­sons.

Father and Son pulls from Edison High and has a commit­ment most legion teams can only dream about. CB pulls from Bishop Ahr, Metuchen and J.P. Stevens and usually gets lost in F&S’s dust, struggling to find any team chemistry.

This year could be different though. Clara Barton shocked its crosstown rival with a dramatic 4- 3 victory June 10. Although the season started with three consecu­tive losses, that win over F&S could be a building block for Clara Barton.

“That’s a special thing to beat them,” said CB Head Coach Bill O’Leary, whose team has a reord of 1-4. “You want your best game to beat them. That’s the top program. You’ve got to aim for the best.”

Clara Barton won the game in thrilling fashion, rallying for two runs in the bottom of the seventh and winning the game as Chris Fitzpatrick was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded.

“It’s real easy to get up for Father and Son,” said O’Leary. “To score the winning run like we did without getting a hit is great. We started with 7-8-9 in the order. The kids started to believe in them­selves. I could see them come together as a team.”

Leary has been coaching against F&S Head Coach George Banos for sometime now. They knocked heads for years in the Edison Boys Little League and developed a mutual respect for each other.

“George was instrumental in me getting this thing at Clara Barton,” said O’Leary. “I would like to say George took it easy on

Last year, Briegs and Boschi fin­ished seventh out of 13 teams in Germany and then took eighth out of 13 teams in Switzerland to qualify for the X Games.

The New Jersey duo is one of four American teams in the com­petition but are the complete underdogs, mostly doing battle with full-time sponsored duos.

“I still can’t believe we’re here,” said Briegs. “I remember watching it when this first came out in 1995. When I started sky­surfing, it seemed like such a far­away goal. We’re going against fully sponsored teams who do nothing but train. They’ve done 1,000 jumps in the last six months. Maybe we have 300 or 400. We’re the underdogs. We’re shooting for top-five. That’d be an amazing accomplishment.”

Briegs and Boschi were also successful in freestyle skydiving, capturing a freestyle festival in New York in 1995 and 1996. In ‘96, the duo captured the U.S. National Championships of Freestyle Intermediate Men’s Division before turning their attention to skysurfing.

Briegs and Boschi met while jumping together in a small facil­ity in Pittstown. The duo has progressed through the ranks together and now perfect their routine at Freefall Adventures Skydives Cross Keys Inn in Williamstown, one of the best jumping facilities in the country.

“You get a skysurfer and it’ll take over 100 jumps to get in sync,” said Briegs, who’s going to open a skysurfing school at

Williamstown July 10. “The fall weight is different for every per­son. You have to learn what fall weights are like. You have to be in sync and dialed into each other. We came through the ranks together. We had 100 jumps combined when we first met.”

There’s no question that sky­surfing is Briegs outlet from his stuffy job. It’s turned into more than a hobby for this Edison res­ident, who admits that he was always the last one picked for sports teams growing up.

“It’s tough to describe,” said Briegs of skysurfing. “It just overloads your senses. You com­bine the fact that you jump over some of the most beautiful places in the world with the fact that you’re riding on a board, it’s unlike any other experience.”

Briegs also has a good support system in his wife Karen, who’s jumped over 150 times herself. She’s not exactly the worried wife, sitting at home, praying that Briegs survives.

“She’s great about the whole thing,” said Briegs, who admitted that he can’t surf or snowboard. “She’s just as excited as I am. I can’t ask for a more understand­ing person. A lot of wives or hus­bands would say, 'No way.’ She’s been great about the whole thing.”

In the coming weeks, Briegs and Boschi will be competing in U.S. Nationals of skysurfing in California where the duo is hop­ing to medal with an outside shot at gold as a possibility.

me. I know that’s not in his nature.”

Jessie Whittemore provided the pitching for CB against Father and Son, hurling a complete-game six- hitter. He’ll be joined in Clara Barton’s rotation by Mike Bongiovanni, Scott Dean, Chris Fitzpatrick and Corey McCarthy.

Other key players for Clara Barton are catcher Michael Davis, shortstop Brian Stio, first base- man Bob Sica, centerfielder Mike Abbate, rightfielder Steve Garcia, outfielder Billy Happel and utility players Chris Niskoch and Joe Abromaitis.

“If we can get strong pitching, we can be OK,” said O’Leary. “We’ve got some kids who can throw the ball. Up the middle, we should be very strong. My outfield is tremendous. I’ve got four or five who can play.”

Former Edison High pitcher Brad Bava has also joined Clara Barton’s coaching staff as a pitch­ing coach. Bava is currently enrolled at Montclair State.

“It’s not often you get a young guy who wants to be involved,” said O’Leary. “The kids can relate to a young guy more than an old guy like me.”

The only problem for Bava is his brother John is a member of Father and Son’s team, causing some problems when Clara Barton faced F&S.

“He didn’t come to the Father and Son game,” said O’Leary. “I’ve known his parents for a long time. We did a little good-nature ribbing about not letting him come to the game.”

Although Clara Barton did drop its first three games, O’Leary has struggled to get his complete team together. Due to both team ban­quets and conference all-star games, Clara Barton has had some players missing in action.

“Everyone has ups and downs,” said O’Leary. “It’s a tough time of year with parties and graduation.”

When adults act like children, there is chaos.

The East Brunswick Little League is steeped in chaos right about now and the victim is Highland Park resident 10 year- old Gregory Besantis.

Because of the lack of organi­zation and general interest in the Highland Park Little League, Besantis has been playing in the East Brunswick Little League for the past three seasons.

In December, it was brought to the executive committee’s atten-

The Post Office mistakenly included Pete Rose in thus Umited Edition stamp set. Just a few thousand got out before his image was removed.

Baseball Honors Pete Rose. . . By Mistake!Post Office Inadvertently Creates Hot New Collectible

G renada — Even though Pete Rose may never be elected into the Baseball Hall o f Fame, it has just been discovered that he has been accidentally honored along with other baseball legends on a small number of Limited Edition postage stamps. This embarrassing blunder by the Postal Service has sent collectors scrambling to obtain one of the few thousand Legends of Baseball sets that mistakenly include the stamp of Rose.

Postal authorities are now trying, with little success, to recall all outstanding sets that feature the controversial All-Star.

“We won’t be sending them back to the Post Office, if that’s what you mean,” stated John Van Emden of the International Collectors Society in Owings Mills, Maryland, who now has the only known supply of the recalled stamps. “We would rather see them in the hands of collectors.”

Experts say the Legends of Baseball set would have sold out anyway because of the huge popularity of the other All-Stars featured: Babe Ruth, Cal Ripken,' Roberto Clemente, Bob Feller, Mark McGwire, George Bell, Alvin Davis and Dan Quisenberry, and the fact that the stamp set was issued in a strictly Limited Edition.

“Our phones are ringing off the hook! Collectors know this is their chance to get something that’s seldom seen, even in the world of rare collectibles,” added Van Emden. “Let me put it this way — even though these stamps are legal for postage, I don’t think you’ll see anyone sticking them on envelopes.”

Grenada decided to issue the Legends of Baseball set in an attempt to top the recent U.S. celebrity stamps that have been issued in honor of Vince Lombardi, Elvis Presley, James Dean and others.

“The U.S. has released over 800 million celebrity stamps. When you compare that to this Pete Rose error, where just a few thousand sets are known to exist, you can see the irresistible appeal this stamp set ha$ for baseball fans and collectors,” pointed out Van Emden.

Each of the nine colorful stamps in the set is about four times the size of a regular U.S. stamp. They’re legal for postage in Grenada and are recognized by every postal authority around the world.

Gotta have ’em? They’re available only while sup­plies last at $9.95 (plus $3.00 p&h) for the complete set of nine colorful stamps. You’ll also receive an individu­ally numbered Certificate of Authenticity. The most you can buy is six sets.

tion that Besantis was playing in the wrong Babe Ruth district. Besantis, whose father Gregory Besantis Sr. was vice president of fund raising the past two sea­sons, was allowed to stay in the league.

According to Besantis Sr., about a month ago, the president of the league Drew Assini said that the Babe Ruth organization has a problem with Besantis and other Highland Park players being in the league. The board voted again and Besantis was allowed to stay with East Brunswick once again.

After Besantis Sr. was voted to coach the all-star team for the third consecutive season and had worked on a project to get his

team to participate in a tourna­ment in Cooperstown (NY), Assini returned to the board and told them if they didn’t comply with Babe Ruth’s issue that the charter was in jeopardy.

Even after Besantis led his team, the Ruby Tuesday’s to a regular season championship, he was removed from the league along with several other Highland Park players before the playoffs began.

“Here’s a decision that these people knowingly took our money and time,” said Besantis Sr. “It’s totally unfair. They already vio­lated the charter. They only had three games left. He (Besantis) can’t understand this or compre­hend it.”

There is a happy ending for Besantis, who had made the all- star team for the third consecu­tive season at East Brunswick. The youngster from Highland Park made the Boys of Baseball national traveling team and he’ll be headed to Cooperstown with all of his old friends in the tour­nament which begins tomorr;Qw.

The Boys of Baseball, qre based out of Alabama and will be traveling to Florida and will com­pete in the Continental American Baseball Association Woi;ld Series in Iowa this summer.

To make the team, each player needed a recommendation hnd Besantis got one from the Rutgers University pitching coach (Tom Baxter). Videos and still photos also had to be taken of Besantis and sent to the BoVs of Baseball. With over 400 appli­cants, Besantis was chosen fbr this elite squad.

“It had a silver lining,” said Besantis Sr. “It’s a shame Highland Park got caught in the middle. I don’t see the difference if we play in East Brunswick or Edison. It’s a shame they’d do this to a little boy.”

Besantis, who has lost ope game in the past three years, \vas certainly the victim of this unfor­tunate situation. The silver lin­ing is the opportunity for Besantis to compete against the best competition in the nation.

“I think how it ended is a great honor to make this team,” said Besantis Sr. “It’s a rotten thing they did. I think there was a lot of animosity towards this child.”

Tigers, Indians, come through in N.Edison LL

'•- "North Edison’s Major League baseball division just completed its 1998 regular season, which consisted of 10 teams of 11 and

• 12 year-olds.• This is a very competitive divi­sion, with over 120 players in

r total and each team playing about 14 games. After all of the regular season games were

- played, the Indians, managed by Wayne Loux, and the Tigers, managed by Charles Tadduni,

’finished first in their divisions with 11-3 and 10-3 records respectively.

/ The Indians were paced by the• strong pitching of Wayne Loux,

Kevin D’Arco and Carlos Suarez, with Ed Tessalone and Kyle Sawicki leading the defense.

• Loux’s grand slam highlighted the season for the Indians.

The Tigers started off the sea- 1 son on the right foot by having Jafck Ford, Eric McCormick and

’ Chris Testa combine their pitch­ing talents for a one-hitter on opening day. Their success con­tinued with the solid hitting of

’ Matthew Conaway and Chris Ciardiello and the good defense

■ n •

provided by Stephanie Marciano and Michael Tadduni.

The Marlins finished third at 9-5 with Wayne Koehler, Jared Schaber, Alex Rayner and Shalin Shah sharing the pitching duties. Backing them up in the field are Chris Clark and Matt Perillo, with James Schaber and Sean Farrell helping out on offense.

The Devil Rays finished strong, winning three of their last four games with Kyle Lankey, Robby Assuncao and Michael Segala on the mound. Nischint Maneikar and Ryan Turbert provided strong defen­sive support.

There were many outstanding performances this season includ­ing a one-hitter by Joe Valentino of the Mets, who was perfect through five innings and had an amazing 17 strikeouts for the game.

Kyle Lankey of the Devil Rays had 14 strikeouts in that same game.

Danny Lobacz and Kevin Samples combined for a no-hitter in the Red Sox’s 1-0 victory over the Tigers. Samples also turned

in a superb pitching effort against the Indians, handing them their first loss of the season after an 8-0 start. Steven Jerome supported the Red Sox victory against the Indians with an exciting grand slam in the first inning.

All 10 teams will now move into the playoffs or June Madness which is North Edison’s postseason double elimination tournament.

“The playoff pairings are not based on the regular season,” said Major League Division coor­dinator Ed Healy. “All of the teams start the playoffs even, as the teams are pitted against each other at random.

So with the slate wiped clean, you can count on all these teams to roll out their bats and pitching arms and make the tournament at least as exciting as the regular season.”

You can continue to take part in the league’s excitng action at their Maryland Avenue complex, as well as visit North Edison’s global web site at www.northed.com.

Have a safer summerSummer is a time for families

to be together, relax and have fun outdoors.

To help keep it a safe and healthy time, the New Jersey State Safety Council and NJ Safe Kids offers these tips:

• Protect skin from the sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays.

Avoid sun exposure between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. when the sun’s rays are most direct.

Use a sunscreen with an SPF (sun protection factor) of 15 or greater even on overcast days.

Up to 80 percent of the sun’s ultraviolet rays can penetrate clouds.

• Never leave children or pets unattended inside a car, even with windows open.

On sunny days the tempera­ture inside can climb rapidly and far exceed 100 degrees F. Unchecked exposures to heat over 90 degrees F can lead to serious illness or death.

• Take care around the grill and pool.

Never add more lighter fluid to speed up slow-burning coals. A flame from the grill can travel back up the stream of fluid, ignit­ing the container and the cook as well!

Supervise children at all times around anybody of water or pool, including shallow “kiddie” pools.

It only takes an inch of water and a few moments for a young child to drown.

• Use extra caution when vacationing near water.

Swim only in areas supervised by a lifeguard and never swim alone.

Wear a properly fitted person­

al flotation device (PFD) approved by the U.S. Coast Guard when boating, even on calm inland waters in good weather, as most fatal boating accidents occur under these con­ditions.

• On the road, make sure everyone is protected with a safe­

ty belt or properly installed child safety seat on every trip, includ­ing short rides close to home. More motorists are killed and injured in traffic crashes during the summer months than any other time of the year.

For more information, call the Council at (908) 272-7112.

Beat the heat with waterOne of the greatest remedies ever created is both plentiful and inexpensive — water.The majority of the human body is comprised of water and likewise, every bodily function

requires water.Water acts as a coolant in the body, regulating temperature, much like it does in a car radi­

ator.Thus, it is most important to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and keep the body

running.“I recommend drinking a minimum of 64 ounces of water every day,” said Harry Hanson,

founder of New York’s Hanson Fitness and personal trainer of A-list celebrities and super models including Julia Roberts, Tom Cruise, Demi Moore, Naomi Campbell and John F. Kennedy Jr. “When you’re outside all day, whether you’re rollerblading, hiking, or simply walking around, it’s important to stay hydrated and water is the best way to do that. Plus it’s thirst-quenching, filling and calorie free.”

The following are some additional warm weather tips:Keep your summer diet cool and light by eating plenty of fruits and vegetables; they are

naturally high in water content.Drink plenty of water before and after exercise activity, and every 15 minutes during activ­

ity when participating longer than 30 minutes.Wear loose-fitting clothes made of natural fibers to keep cool and prevent heat rash.Use oil-free skin care products to prevent clogging of pores due to perspiration and oil

buildup.Wear sunscreen a'hd moisturizers with a minimum SPF (sun protection factor) of 15 to pre­

vent sum burn. Make sure to reapply sunscreen frequently when perspiring and after swim­ming.

Maintain health, hydrated skin by drinking six to eight, eight ounce glasses of water every day.

For additional information on staying hydrated during warm spring and simmer months call (1-800) 4-GEYSER.

I t ’s not too late to start summer classesExpress yourself in your own style with Art-4-All programs

Art-4-All is a unique art school in Somerville that enables you to broaden your creative horizons and learn a life- ‘ long skill for the pure enjoyment of it.

Instructor Barbara Gerson explains the Art-4-All philosophy: “Our method is fully structured for beginners — children and adults alike — can learn step-by-step to understand the cre­ative process that lies behind the mak­

ing of art. Our purpose is to instill the knowledge and develop the skills that will enable the student to express their individuality and develop a truly personal style.”

“No idea is rejected and anything is impossible,” says Gerson, who empha­sizes that everyone is able to creative­ly express their ideas and feelings; it’s just the way in which they do it that

differs.”Art-4-All is perfect for all members

of the family and welcomes everyone from ages 3-100 with courses devel­oped specifically for different age groups and experience levels. Gerson stresses the importance of art in a young child’s life. “Children are natur­al artists, having a wonderful sense of color and design,” she says. “At Art-4-

All we are merely guides that enable the children to express themselves.”

Enhancing children’s creativity builds self-esteem, confidence and skills that are important in all their activities, according to Gerson. These skills are essential for healthy devel­opment and are vital throughout a person’s entire life.

Art-4-All offers classes all year long

and students can begin anytime. Summer classes begin June 22. Make this summer stimulating, enriching and rewarding ... become a child again and experience the pleasures of seeing and marveling at the world around you.

Art-4-All is located at 265 East Main St., Somerville. For more information, call (908) 725-4490.

Tom Dufficy, executive vice president of Photographic & Imaging M anufacturers Association (PIMA), offers this simple tip when traveling by plane:

“Don’t check undeveloped film with your luggage. It may pass through new airport scan­ners which can ruin your film before you even have a chance

Get your car ready fo r a family vacation

(NUI) — Many of the car problems that occur on long trips can be easily avoided by some simple pre-trip inspections. Jim Moritz, an ASE certified technician at Snap-on Diagnostics, offers some tips and checkpoints for the family car before your big trip this summer:

Time for an oil change? If it’s been three months or 3,000 miles since the last oil change, take your car to the local service station and have it done professionally.

Check your fluid levels. This includes your coolant, wash­er and power steering fluids. Replenish if low.

Visually inspect your belts and hoses for cracks. Tugging on belts may not indicate wear or a need for replace­ment. Belts should be replaced every 20,000 to 30,000 miles.

Check for excessive tire wear. To test for the absolute minimum amount of tread allowed on a tire (3/32 of an inch), take a penny and put the top of it in the groove of the tread. Even the most worn part of the tread should still cover the top of Abe Lincoln’s head.

Assess air pressure of tires. Check the door jambs for a sticker with the manufacturer’s recommended pressure or refer to the owner’s manual. For an accurate reading, check the pres­sure while the tires are “cold” or resting for about 30 minutes.

Inspect tires for uneven wear. Uneven tread may indicate bad alignment, worn steering components or poor suspension, all of which inhibit driving performance and lower your gas mileage — important factors on long trips.

Test the “bounce” of your car. Take your body weight, push down on your front and rear bumpers, then let go. Count the number of times your car bounces. If it’s more than two times, it could be a sign of worn shock absorbers or struts.

Beware of the “Spare Tire Surprise.” Check to make sure not only that you have your spare, but that it’s fully inflated and that you have the jack and tools to change it.

Replace your windshield wipers. For about $5 you’ll be amazed at the difference a fresh set of blades makes.

Traveling fun, traveling healthyWarm, salty breezes, hot sand

beneath your toes, the crashing rhythm o f the surf... Vacation.

The word is like a well-deserve symphony to the ears of tired, stressed and working Americans. The glossy pictures in travel magazines may invoke the above daydreams, but what they don’t illustrate are the health risks travelers may encounter.

As the vacation-planning sea­son reaches its peak, keep in mind the following health tips whether you’re going on an island cruise, on a safari or to your cousin’s wedding in Pittsburgh:

Sanitary foodWhen traveling, particularly

abroad, you should not use hunger as your only guide for selecting food. For example, in the U.S., public health officials estimate that consumers have an 18,000 percent greater risk of gastrointestinal illness from eat­ing shellfish than from eating fish. Do not assume the safety of food unless you know it has been freshly and thoroughly cooked.

Meat should have no red color left and should be served hot. Any raw food can be contaminat­ed. Watch out for salads, uncooked vegetables, fruit that you have not peeled yourself, and dairy products.

Sanitary water When traveling in areas in

which you are unsure of sanita­tion, it is wise to drink only boiled water (or hot beverages made from boiled water), canned or bottled beverages. Ice is only as safe as the water it is made from and the contents are only as clean as the surface of the con­tainer that it is in.

Dietary supplements Visiting the Eiffel Tower or a

Broadway show can be a chore if you’re not feeling a hundred per­cent. So it might be a good idea to add supplements like Zinc and Echinacea to your menu.

ZincThe medical community has

long confirmed the value of Zinc in the diet as an essential miner­al for maintaining a healthy immune system and other body

processes. Zinc lozenges may be beneficial in treating cold symp­toms. The U.S. Reference Daily Intake of Zinc for adults and chil­dren, 4 year of age or older, is 15 mg.

EchinaceaEchinacea, the purple cone-

flower native to North America, has gained widespread accep­tance around the world for its ability to promote general well being.

SunscreenThe sun may feel good and its

damaging effects may be easy to forget in cold weather but within a few hours of sun exposure as many as 15 percent of people develop a rash which can last up to a week. And though you may feel radiant with tanned skin, tanning occurs only as a result of sun damage. Your best choice is to cover up with loose-fitting but tightly woven airy clothes and use a highly protective sunscreen on exposed areas. If you burn easily, you should start with a sunscreen that provides UV pro­tection with an SPF greater than

15.HandwashingThe old adage, handwashing

is just as important to heed while traveling as it is while at home.. Handwashing has been repeated- ’ ly associated with reduced risk of transmission of infectious dis­eases, particularly in countries! where risk or transmission is high and general hygienic stan­dards may be low. Before eating, drinking and throughout the day,! you should be sure to wash your' hands and wrists with warm soapy water for at least 15 sec-' onds per hand.

The bottom line when travel­ing is that you should apply th e ' same smart rules of good health as when you’re at home. Handwashing, sunscreen and dietary supplements should always be a part of your daily routine to help promote good health; it’s just easy to become lax when on “vacation.”

If you take these simple steps, you are on your way to a fun- filled vacation of palm trees ancT long walks on the beach.

Designated skipper program is growing

The Steer Clear-Don’t Go Overboard Designated Skipper program is growing across the nation, and according to officials is making a big difference in rais­ing awareness about drinking and safe boating.

The program, which has drawn more than 10,000 Designated Skippers across the country since it began in 1993, is a combined effort of Miller Brewing Company, Miller dis­tributors, bars and restaurants and the national Marine M anufacturers Association, to raise public awareness about drinking and boating, helping to ensure everyone has a safe, enjoyable time on the water.

The Designated Skipper pro­gram works the same way the Designated Driver program works on land. Boaters choose a responsible member of their party who agrees not to drink alcohol while the group is on the water. A key element of the Designated Skipper program is that it encourages moderation on the part of everyone on board.

After signing the Designated Skipper pledge, the skipper receives a wristband entitling him or her to free soft drinks and other non-alcohol beverages, such as Miller’s non-alcohol brew, Sharp’s, at various bars and restaurants. The skipper also receives information and tips for safe boating. Prospective skip­

pers may register at participat­ing restaurants and taverns.

“We’re very proud of our Designated Skipper program,” said Yvonne Lumsden-Dill, Miller’s director of industry affairs. “In just four years, this program has gained the support if the marine industry, law enforcement agencies, waterfront bars and restaurants. It”s one of the many ways we at Miller encourage responsible consump­tion of our products by adults.”

“Responsibility and good sense are important elements of a safe and fun experience — whether you’re in land or on water,” Lumsden-Dill said. “We want all adults who use our products to use them safely. The Designated Skipper program, and other responsible consumption efforts, can make a real difference.”

Other responsible consump­tion programs include Miller Free Rides, which offers free pub­lic transit service on New YearOs Eve and St. PatrickOs Day in communities across the country, wristbanding at community events, responsible server train­ing, safe snowmobiling and hunt­ing programs and more.

For more information about the Designated Skipper program in your area, call your local Miller distributor or write to the Industry Affairs Department, Miller Brewing Co., PO Box 484, Milwaukee, WI 53201-0482.

Find the best sunglasses with these buying tipsWhen shopping for sunglass­

es, the focus should be on func­tional features as well as fit and styling. The Design Studio of Froster Grant, the U.S. mar­ket leader for popularly priced sunglasses, provides the follow­ing tips.

Fun, Fit and FunctionPrice doesn’t necessarily

guarantee better quality, com­pare creatures carefully. Look for sunglasses that deliver opti­mal protection and durability. Opt for a name brand tha t offers a quality guarantee.

Look for sunglasses that pro­vide maximum protection from ultraviolet (UV) A and B rays.

UV-A rays can cause wrinkles. UV-B rays can damage eyes with long-term exposure lead­ing to cataracts.

When purchasing sunglass­es, don’t forget children. ItOs never too early to start protect­ing young eyes from harmful UV rays. Foster GrantOs sun­glasses come in a wide range of styles to fit ages 0 to 92.

For enhanced comfort, look for sunglasses th a t offer adjustable nose pads and stur­dy frames.

Mirror and polarized coat­ings are helpful for driving and outdoor sports. Polarized coat­ings block normal rays and hor­izontal rays that hit the eye

from reflected surfaces.

Lens LessonsIndividuals who wear sun­

glasses when participating in active sports should select poly­carbonate (shatterproof) lenses.

Selecting the color of a sun­glass lens is more than just a fashion decision. The color of the lens should be chosen with the type of activity in mind.

One common myth: The darker the lens, the better the protection. Actually, a tin t th a t’s too dark can hamper vision. For most people, a more neutral tine is better.

Neutral colored lenses of gray or gray-green are the most

versatile and also provide the most comfort.

Brown and colored lenses are great for day driving, allowing for the best color definition. Brown lenses are especially good for golfers in helping dis­tinguish a white ball in a green rough.

Yellow and amber lenses work best for activities where depth perception is especially im portant. Such lenses also work well in low-light condi­tions.

Go wild with fashion tints like light blue or pink, but don’t expect them to work well for driving or sport use because they can distort color. (NU)

Free brochure shows how to make swimming pools saferIt’s great to have a swimming

pool in the backyard, but it can be a magnet for small children. If a pool isn’t properly secured, a child could get into it an drown.

More than half of the 600 peo­ple who drown in backyard swim­ming pools every year are chil­

dren under 5, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Another 4,300 chil­dren are treated for submersion injuries. An approved pool barri­er is a key to pool safety. A well- designed barrier won’t let chil­dren get over, under or through

it.Find barrier guidelines and

other barrier safety tips in a detailed brochure, “Playing It Safe in Your Swimming Pool,” published by The Hanover Insurance Company. (Also obtain and review a copy of local and

state rules for pools.)For a free copy, send name and

skaters to Gear-up! by wearing protective gear, using common sense and taking a lesson from a certified instructor.

Certified instructorsthroughout the world are putting people of all ages on skate safely and effectively.

“The certification program introduces qualified candidates to standardized vocabulary, national safety etiquette, safety rules and participator teaching

situation,” says Kalinda M athis, IISA Instructor Certification Program Director. “‘This program teaches candi­dates how to teach as well as how students learn.”

One primary benefit for the in-line skating student is that regardless of where or with whom the lesson is taken, if the instructor is certified, the stu­dent will be learning form the same curriculum with the same vocabulary.

This allows for in-line skat-

fish in a long fight; get it to the boat. Wet hour hands before han­dling the fish. This helps to pre­vent removing the mucous “slime” coating which protects the fish from infection.

Handle it gently, carefully avoiding having it rub up against dry surfaces like the carpets.

Try to keep the fish sub­merged in the water as much as

possible.Before releasing, preserve the

memory of the catch by quickly taking a picture of the fist.

Support the fish in its mid-sec­tion and tail until it swims away.

Knowing how to release a fish properly shows respect for the environment and is a lesson for younger participants for follow for their future.

Taking a lesson from a certi­fied instructor decreases the in­line sk a ter’s fear while it increases his/her confidence.

“I am excited about my certi­fication to teach in-line skating and the importance of in-line skating safety to all age groups,” says Ken Ciok. “It’s an opportunity to spread the word tha t with proper instruction, in-line skating is a very safe sport and one the whole family can enjoy together.”

In addition a good in-line training program can enhance muscle tone, endurance, and cardiovascular fitness as well as aerobic and anaerobic condi­tioning.

The IISA was created in 1991 to advance the sport of in­line skating.

Through the support of major in-line m anufacturers, retailers and thousands of in­line skaters the IISA develops safety and educational pro­grams, works to protect and

Tickets on sale for NJ’s largest summer eventTickets are on sale for the 16th

annual Quick Chek New Jersey Festival of Ballooning presented by GPU Energy. Tickets are available at 100 Quick Chek stores across the state.

The three-day festival is July 24, 25, 26 at the Solberg Airport in Readington. Tickets are $15 in advance/$20 at the gate for adults and $6 in advance/$10 at the gate for children. A portion of the proceeds from advance ticket sales will be donated to The Children’s Miracle Network, a non-profit organization that ben­efits local children’s hospitals.

The Festival’s Executive Producer Howard Freeman spoke at the ticket sale kickoff: “The Quick Chek family looks forward to seeing many people in their stores buying tickets and helping out the Children’s Miracle Network over the next few weeks. Last year we raised more than $80,000 for this won­

derful program.“Every year attendance grows

at the festival and this year we hope to welcome back all those who attended previous years as well as introduce new people to the magic of ballooning at this family-oriented event.”

To launch the Festivals Sweet Sixteen Birthday, on Thursday night Nabisco is sponsoring an event exclusively for Girl Scouts titled “The Origins of Flight Camp-Out Jamboree.” Girl Scout troops, with their leaders, are invited to this slumber party where they will learn ballooning by being part of a flight crew. They can also participating self­esteem-building programs as part of “The Sky’s the Limit,” lively discussions by female pro­fessionals. The cost per Scout is $29.95 and includes Thursday night’s activities and a weekend pass to the festival. For more information on the Nabisco

Camp-Out, Scout leaders can call 1-800-HOT-AIR-9.

The festival will feature more than 125 hot air balloons includ­ing several special shapes like the quick Chek Eagle, the GPU Energy Polar Bear, Nabisco’s Mr. Peanut and the Energizer Bunny. Spectators will also delight at the myriad of beautiful, brightly col­ored traditional balloons. The fun-filled weekend will also include: PBS’s Kidsday Play- Along with Arthur on the GPU Energy Family Fun Stage; live concerts by major musical acts including the Marshall Tucker Band and the New Rascals; old- time barnstorming air shows; the famous sky-diving Elvises; a pet­ting farm; arts and crafts exhibits and many other surpris­es.

In addition to Quick Check and GPU Energy, other major festival sponsors include: Agfa Film, Staples, Claritin, Labatt

Blue, Rolling Rock and Double Tree Hotels.

The festival celebrates its 16th year as New Jersey’s number one tourist attrac­tion and a favorite of Gov. Whit­man’s. Most attendees are from New Jersey, New York, Penn­sylvania and Washington, D.C., but many others travel longer dis­tances to the event.

Each year, the festival draws more people and last year hit a record high of 150,000 attendees over the weekend.

Girl Scouts help celebrate a Sweet Sixteen Birthday party for the Quick Chek New Jersey Festival of Ballooning. The girls will also earn badges for helping the Children’s Miracle Network during this year’s annual hot air balloon festival July 24-26.

Tips for traveling with petsAlby Mangels, a worldwide

; adventurer and host of Travel • Channel’s popular series ‘ ^Adventure Bound,” takes his ■ pooch on boats, planes, and jeeps everywhere from Africa to ih e Andes.

Here are some tips for trav­eling with your pet:

General InformationThe Right Choice — If you

^decide you want your pet with you start making plans early.

No Trains — pets may travel on most airlines, but only ani­mals that help people with dis­abilities are allowed on trains.

Visit your vet - You will need current vaccinations, and health and rabies certificates if you are crossing state lines or intend to board your pet during any part of the trip.

Air TravelAirlines generally ship ani­

mals in the cargo compartment. Some airlines allow passengers to carry their pets in the cabin if they are in a small enough carrier that fits under the seat.

There is usually a charge for transporting your pet.

Book a non-stop flight. It’s much easier on your pet and avoids the possibility of it get­ting lost.

Going by CarStop every couple of hours to

allow your dog (and you) to stretch, explore and get some air.

Always keep your pet on a leash.

Feed your pet at least two hours before leaving on a trip — he’ll be less likely to get motion sickness.

Never leave your pet alone in the car on hot days.

For more information, check with your vet, the airline you’re

traveling with, or in books available at your library orbookstore.

The American Humane Association (800-227-4645) publishes a very readable brochure called “Enjoy the Ride,” that gives general infor­mation about pet travel.

Check your local listings for Travel Channel, the only televi­sion network devoted exclusive­ly to travel.

It’s a valuable source for travel ideas, dream vacations, and money-saving information.

It takes viewers (and pets) on journeys far and near to explore the people, places and culture of the world.

Information about Travel Channel’s availability in your area is available by contacting your local cable or satellite company.

Pool safety:Everyone’s responsibility

Whether a parent, baby sitter, or party host, caring for children at poolside can be better than a day at the beach if you heed a few safety tips.

1. Supervise. The first and most important rule of child safety is adult supervision.

2. Teach. The next step to safety is teaching children to swim, beginning with basic water- safety lessons. These lessons include teaching children that they must have adults with them when they go near pools.

3. Restrict access. Fences that can’t be climbed and gates with locks beyond the capabil­ities of youngsters are vital in keeping your pool off-limites to unsupervised children.

4. Alarm the area. Motion sensor alarms blow the whistle on pool intrusions and save a life.

5. Equip for rescue. A long pole with a shep­herd’s loop at one end, a long rope and at least on ring-shaped life preserver should always be handy. Use safety equipment first if someone needs rescue.

6. Float for fun. Swim suits with built-in flotation are great aids in helping little ones enjoy the water. Inflatable toys make the pool a playground. Kick boards are great for exercise

and for practicing; but these do not guarantee the safety of children.

7. Patrol for danger. Scan your pool area for child dangers. Plastic is acceptable; glassware isn’t, electrical appliances have no place at poll side. Pool chemicals should be off-site in a locked storage space. Olin pool products, including Super Sock It", Sock It", and HTH Super Shock8 provide effective shock treatments for control­ling algae, bacteria, and other contaminants.

8. Modify behavior. Running is not accept­able around the pool deck. Pushing and shoving should not be allowed.

9. Balance the water. Test your pool water daily and keep it a clean, healthy environment for everyone.

10. Call time out. Children have lots of ener­gy and may have trouble knowing when they are tired or cold or have had too much sum. Be watchful and close the pool when needed.

For additional advise about pool care, call the Olin Pool Care Hotline at (800) 222-2348 or visit the web site at http://waterworks.olin.com Call for a free pail guard, while supplies last, to pro­tect toddlers from toppling into the bucket. (NAPS)

M ake bike helm et use a priorityIn the market for a new bicy­

cle for your child or yourself? Don’t forget to buy a helmet, too.

“Wearing a helmet just makes good sense,” said Jennifer Schneider, manager of public relations and safety for the AAA New Jersey Automobile Club in Florham park. “Helmets

effectively protect your head in crashes. Of the 757 bicyclists killed in motor-vehicle accidents

1996, 96 percent reportedlyinMany

can

weren’t wearing helmets, died of head injuries.”

While all bicyclists 14 years of age and under are required by New Jersey law to wear a helmet,

The Only Way To Start The Weekend

Schneider urges everyone to fol­low the rule.

“Wearing a helmet makes you a positive role model,” she said.

What should you look for when buying yourself and your child a helmet?

“Look for a helmet that’s well- ventilated with straps that adjust easily and securely,” Schneider says. “The helmet should sit level on your head. Make sure the helmet is ANSI or Snell approved (organizations that certify helmets on a volun­tary basis). This can be found on the inside of the helmet.”

Schneider also pointed out that bicyclists can begin looking for helmets that meet new feder­al safety standards set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). As of

February, all bike helmets sold in the United States will be required to meet CPSC stan­dards for impact, roll-off (how the helmet stays on during an acci­dent) and strap strength. Helmets that already comply can begin carrying the label now. And helmets for children under 5 will be required to cover more of the head than helmets for adults.

“Many helmets are very close to the CPSC standards,” said Schneider. “The federal stan­dards will remove the confusion over which seal consumers should look for.”

For a free pamphlet send a self-addressed, stamped, busi­ness-size envelope to: BikeHelmets, AAA Public Relations, 1 Hanover Road, Florham Park, NJ 07932.

Fire up the grill — safely, easily(MS) — Now that summer is here, it’s time to enjoy one of the

true joys of the season — outdoor cooking. Whether for a group of friends or just for your family in the backyard, barbecuing is one of the most popular summertime activities. It also can be a healthy one, as barbecued foods often have less fat and more fia- 1 vor than the same foods that are broiled or pan fried.

Barbecuing is so popular that 77 percent of all homes have a charcoal grill. “Most people enjoy cooking and eating outdoors,” say Sherry Goldman and Dennis Mullin of First Brands Corp., , maker of leading home fireplace and charcoal lighting products. “Barbecuing is a great way to cook a healthy meal for family and ‘ friends while limiting the amount of fuss and cleanup needed/ Barbecuing allows the cook to spend time with family and friends ' while cooking the meal, instead of being relegated to the kitchen.”

For most people, barbecuing is an easy way to prepare a meal. In fact, one of the only concerns about barbecues is the hassle of lighting the charcoal. Now, this step no longer has to be difficult.

The secret is choosing the proper charcoal lighter. While lighter fluid has been the most common charcoal starter available to. date, experts say that it is not the easiest nor safest method. ‘ “Igniting charcoal soaked with lighter fluid, if not properly han­dled, can result in flashbacks,” note Goldman and Mullin. “More „ importantly, focus groups show that people are concerned that lighter fluid is dangerous to use or transport to a picnic area. Lighter fluid also is sometimes perceived to add a bitter aftertaste to grilled food, which many people find offensive.”

A better alternative is LighterLoggTM charcoal lighter. Made from premium wax and kiln-dried sawdust, this solid charcoal starter brick ignites charcoal cleanly and easily. To use, simply place some charcoal briquettes in the barbecue, and place LighterLogg pieces on the coals as instructed on the package. Light the corner of the LighterLogg pieces. These pieces will bum completely, igniting the charcoals. Your grill should be ready for cooking in about the same amount of time as it would be with a liquid starter, but without the hassles.

Finding these solid charcoal lighters is also an easy task. For example, LighterLogg can be found at most retail stores where charcoal is found, so it is easy to pick up while doing your gro­cery shopping or buying barbecue supplies for the weekend.

Once the burning charcoals turn ashen, or almost white in ‘ color, it’s time to start cooking. To help ensure that your food is healthy, remember to trim the excess fat from meats. This will- help prevent flare-ups, help reduce your fat intake and make the grill easier to clean.

To help keep meats juicy, sear both sides of the meat when you ' first put it on the grill to lock in flavor. Also, use tongs instead of forks for turning and handling food on the grill.

When the barbecue is over, cleanup can be a breeze. Simply bmsh down the grill’s grate to remove excess food and drippings. Once the charcoals are cold, cover the barbecue until the next time you and your family want to enjoy juicy burgers, moist, chicken or toasted marshmallows.

Dance your way through summer at SerovaSomerville’s Serova School of

Dance is quickly establishing itself as one of the state’s premier

■ dance schools. The school’s per- ' formance in the 1998 annual• MBC Talent Awards Competition ; this spring is a testimony to. theschool’s accomplishment.

Held at Tamiment Resort in iBushkill, Pa., the competition attracted hundreds of aspiring young dancers from the tri-state area. Serova[‘s dancers, ages 5- 19, swept the competition, with all 31 entries placing at the top of

‘ their respective categories — 28• of them bringing home trophies ‘ including 18 first place finishes.• Director Maggie Sharp attrib- | utes the students’ success in the , competition in their dedication

and the support of their parents and family. Serova’s inspiring choreography of instructors — Kim Evans, Stacey Jablonski, Ellen Smith, Kim Sinoncelli and Maggie Sharp — were instru­mental in the team’s success. Their exceptional skills and teaching abilities bring out the best in every student.

“There is nothing more joyous than helping a young dancer, no matter what her skill level, achieve her potential,” says Maggie Sharp. “To see her build poise, confidence and self-esteem is delightful. It’s something she’ll take with her throughout her life, in everything she does.

There’s also the sheer enjoy­ment the students experience

during classes, new friendships develop, many bonds are formed that last a life time. The chil­dren’s horizons are expanded, opening up a new world of possi­bilities to them.

And then there’s the health benefits of regular dance instruc­tion. “In this day of TV and com­puters, too many of our children have become sedentary,” remarks Sharp. “Dance lets children have creative fun while becoming more physically fit. Students form healthy habits that can stay with them their whole life.”

Summer is a great time to join Serova. “How many times have you heard your children say dur­ing the summer: We’re bored, there’s nothing to do. Sharp says,

“Dance lessons offer a solution to the summer doldrums and give Mom and Dad a break too.” Located in the heart of historic downtown Somerville, Serova’s parents often stroll down Main Street to shop, enjoy a mean at one of the many restaurants or even pamper themselves to some time at their favorite salon.

Serova offers a wide array of classes — including jazz, tap and ballet — for adults and children of all abilities. Summer classes start at Serova on June 29. For more information, call (908) 725- 3955 or visit their modern, air conditioned facility at 14 Warren Street, Somerville. And don’t for­get to ask about their birthday party specials!

Treat yourself to a change of sceneBreaking away from the humdrum of the workaday world is "

a lot easier than you might imagine. Sometimes all it takes is a change of surroundings. Start planning your get-away with these tips from the experts at Kampgrounds of America (KOA). i

Take a bike, or go mountain biking. Anything that gets theC body moving can start those endorphins — the body’s “happy” chemicals — flowing.

Spend some time at the beach or lakefront, relaxing by the cool water as tension drains away.

Get out an enjoy the open spaces. Camping is a great way to enjoy the great outdoors and it’s a lot easier that it used to be, especially with full-service campgrounds available. You can even sleep indoors in a Kamping Kabin which offers the best of both worlds — the convenience of sleeping indoors while camp­ing in the great outdoors.

Start planning your trip to the great outdoors with a copy of the KOA Directory, Road Atlas, and Camping Guide, available free at any KOA Kampground location, or by sending $3 to: KOA Directory, Dept. NPS, PO Box 30558, Billings, MT 59114-0558.

Getting ready to go camping without the stressCamping is a fun way to get

away from it all, enjoy the great outdoors and make family vaca­tion memories you’ll treasure for years to come. Check out this checklist to make it easier to get away on your camping vacation.

Cooking Gear.Just a few basic items are

needed for simple campground cooking: can opener, bottle open­er, cork screw (optional), pans and kettle for cooking (on a campstove or over a fire), serving and eating utensils, plates/bowls/cups, hot dog skew­ers, pitcher, sealable plastic con­tainers. If you’re not a tenderfoot - a new camper-starts out with easy menus like hot dogs or ham- bprgers, then try more complicat­ed fare as you gain more experi­ence.

Recreational Gear.Pick and choose from the fol­

lowing list to suit your own tastes, or add items you’ll need for your favorite activities: cam-

The scoop on celebrating summer sundaesWhat better way to celebrate warmer weather

than to dig into a sumptuous summer sundae topped with real whipped cream? Well, here’s the scoop on those tasty treats and how they have become part of everyday life.

Since it was first introduced to the general pub­lic in 1660, ice cream has been considered “food fit for the gods.” Now ice cream and other frozen desserts are consumed by almost 90 percent of U.S. households, with the top five flavors being vanilla, chocolate, nut (excluding butter pecan), Neapolitan and candy mix-in.

Whatever the flavor, creating ice cream sundaes is a delicious art form that brings families and friends together for a summer celebration and

w h o l e s o m e family fun. in fact, sales are ice cream are highest in July, which coinci­dentally is

National Ice Cream Month.Here are a few tips on buying and serving ice

cream that will give cool creations a longer life. These tips are provided by the International Dairy Foods Association’s yearly booklet, “The Latest Scoop:”

• Don’t allow ice cream to soften and refreeze. Make the ice cream aisle the last stop in the super­market.

• In an open freezer case, always select ice cream and frozen dessert treats stored below the freezer line.

• Ice cream keep best when stored between -5 degrees Fahrenheit and 0 degrees Fahrenheit.

• Store ice cream in the main part of the freezer, not the door.

Inventing summer sundaesIce cream fits into the busiest schedules, keeping

time spent in the kitchen at a minimum.It’s an easy, delicious and, if desired, fancy solu-

nuts, fruit or real whipped cream, such as Reddi- wip, for that special touch.

To inspire your ice cream imagination, here are some fresh sundae ideas from Reddi-wip, which this year celebrates 50 years of topping off ice cream and other delicious treats:

Grasshopper Pie Sundae Top mint chocolate chip ice cream with crushed

chocolate wafers, hot fudge and a drizzle of Creme de Cocoa (optional). Top with whipped cream and your favorite chopped mint-chocolate candy.

Berrilicious Shortcake Sundae Start with a warm buttermilk biscuit and cut in

half, top each half with strawberry ice cream, blue­berry sauce and fresh raspberries. Decorate with a dollop of whipped cream.

Tiramisu SundaeSoak sponge cake with strong coffee and/or cof­

fee liqueur. Top with vanilla ice cream and chopped coffee-flavored candies or chocolate-covered coffee

tion for any occasion, including a nice summer day. beans. Add ground cinnamon and whipped cream.Top off sundaes with hot fudge, chocolate, caramel,

Lincoln students march to band title

The Lincoln School Band has performed throughout the county and state.

BY FATIMAH MCALLISTERSPE C IA L C O R R ESPO N D EN T

EDISON — Playing to a differ­ent tune —the Lincoln School is considered to have one of the best band programs in Middlesex County.

Even though they are an ele­mentary band, they were recently named the best middle school band in the Middlesex County Band Competition at Franklin High School and was the only elemen­tary band invited to perform.

The band traveled throughout the community and played for dif­ferent organizations like the Disabled Veterans and the Menlo Park Good News Luncheon. Band members was also invited to local band competitions and held con­certs during the year for the stu­dents and faculty, said Gail Dante, the school’s band director.

The band consists of 57 fourth

and fifth-graders, who have worked together as a band for a year. Most of the fourth-graders have been playing for six months and the fifth-graders have been playing for a year. The children give up half of their lunch period once a week to practice together. They also have a section lesson once a week to meet with mrs. Dante.

“Our band is like a puzzle. You have individual shapes, but when you put these shapes together they form perfectly,” mrs. dante said.

During this time, the children meet with Mrs. Dante, according to the instrument they play, and receive any help they need in learn­ing the music or anything pertain­ing to their instrument. Most of what the students have learned has been through them practicing on their own time, since they only meet once a week.

The Lincoln School Band pro­

gram is supported by not only the students and faculty of the school, but also receives high praises from the parents of the children in the band.

Band mothers JoAnn Mills, Wendy Arcure and Barbara Disbrow, all agree that Mrs. Dante demands excellence from all the kids. Because of the program, the kids are learning discipline and time management. They also believe that Mrs. Dante builds the kids self-esteem which leads to the children setting goals for them­selves and striving for other things in life.

Mrs. Dante has taught elemen­tary children for 30 years. She graduated from UCLA as a instru­mental teacher.

She started teaching at Lincoln school in 1980 and was the first woman hired as a instrumental teacher in the district.

a c c r e d it a t io n s t a t u sHuntington Learning Centers

in Springfield and Brick and in Abington, PA, have earned accreditation from the Commis­sion on International and Trans- Regional Accreditation (CITA), an agency of the International Council of School Accrediting Commissions, Inc. Other centers in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania have earned candi­dacy for accreditation by CITA, and expect to be accredited in the near future.

By tradition, an accredited school is trusted to be what it claims it is and to do what it claims it does. This is increasing­ly important, as more and more parents turn to learning centers to help their children succeed in school. There is an urgent need for reliable, reassuring creden­tials to guide them in their deci­sion-making. Accreditation by CITA fulfills that need.

As the preeminent measure of academic quality, accreditation is an endorsement universally rec­ognized by educators and par­ents, alike. Beginning with a rig­orous self-study, accreditation is a year-long, multi-step process, evaluating compliance with a comprehensive set of standards. As such, it signals to parents that their choice of an accredited

learning center is the right one.Dr. Raymond J. Huntington,

the founder and President of Huntington Learning Center, said, “Accreditation by CITA is further assurance of quality to families who have trusted Huntington for over two decades. Every month, letters from par­ents and students pour into our centers expressing their grati­tude for how the Huntington Learning Center has changed their lives. This official approval conferred by accreditation echoes those personal sentiments. I believe accreditation is the recog­nition we deserve, demonstrating that Huntington represents the highest standards of quality.”

The Executive Director of CITA, Dr. john Stoops, explains why CITA was created: “For over 100 years, accreditation has been synonymous with quality educa­tion. Traditionally, accreditation had been granted by regional commissions, each responsible for a specific geographic area. But over recent years a number of new national organizations had begun to sponsor schools in all regions. The best among them had become openly frustrated by the lack of an established nation­al accreditor who could provide the effective national accredita­

tion service they needed. There­fore, a new accrediting commis­sion, CITA, was created to set standards for ‘the new educa­tion.’”

Dr. Huntington adds, “We are pleased to be part of the CITA family, as we continue to fulfill our mission of giving every child the best education possible.”

The five participating school accrediting commissions, of which CITA is an agency, are entrusted with the development and implementation of education­al standards nationwide. They include the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, the Western Association of Colleges and Schools, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, and the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges.

With nearly 200 centers across the country, Huntington Learn­ing Center is the nation’s original provider of supplemental educa­tion. A recognized leader in diag­nostic testing to determine a child’s exact academic needs, Huntington Learning Center offers individual programs of instructions in study skills, read­ing, writing and math, plus SAT

Highland Park senior citizens afforded remote water meters

During the years, Highland Park has been able to successfully use the dollars provided by Middlesex County to improve the safety standards for many senior citizens.

These additional dollars provided the borough’s senior citizens an innovative program called the “Remote Water Reading Program” under the Senior Citizen Safe home Inspection Program.

This unique program started by Patti Sullivan, Highland Park Senior Center’s Director on Aging, and Margaret Chester, Executive Director of the Middlesex County Office on Aging, implements the installation of a water meter outside a senior’s home to further enhance the safety and well-being of the senior population within Highland Park.

By having the remote water meter installed out­side the home, the PSE&G employee can read the meter without having to enter the home or disturb the property owner. This program also alleviates the possibility for the senior citizen to avoid risk of injury in safety precaution, is that the accompany the meter reader to the basement. Another safety precaution, is that the occupant can avoid the risk of letting a stranger into the house should they be alone.

Margaret Chester said, “This program is a won­derful collaboration between the borough and

Middlesex County in extending added services toour seniors.”

The borough has a senior population of 4,000 and about 800 homes are owned by seniors citizens. The target number for installed water meters in 1998 is 35 homes provided from a grant by Middlesex County Office of Aging.

To date, 15 homes have been facilitated, with another 20 to have installation, at no cost ta-the occupant.

Ms. Sullivan and Thomas Hespe, the borough tax collector, work hand in hand in selecting eligi­ble seniors through accessible tax roils. The criteria for the meters are based on age and physical limi­tations, as well as financial eligibility.

Councilman Ted Choplick is the chairman of the borough’s public works and public utilities commit­tee.

Mayor H. James Polos noted that he is v^ry pleased that the senior residents of the borough are benefiting by this joint innovative program made available between the Highland Park fmd Middlesex County in an effort to secure the safety and welfare of the elderly. Any senior property owner wishing to find out more information about this program, are asked to call Patti Sullivan at (732) 819-0052.

A u t o m o t iv eJeep fans from all over gear up for August eventBy Mark Maynard

J COPLEY NEWS SERVICE

Bees buzzed, lizards skittered on warm granite boulders and lit-

4 tie brown birds flitted through 'the underbrush of the Sierra Nevada.

It was a fresh and clear August morning, the kind that makes you want to suck in a big breath of pine-sweetened air and count your lucky stars. Except my luck at the moment was tumbling off the trailside with the gravel under my Jeep’s spinning tires.

I was sideways in the trail a couple hundred feet above the so- called graveyard on “Cadillac Hill,” on the back side of the Rubicon Trail, not far from South Lake Tahoe, Calif.

I was sweating bullets on this second day of a Jeep Jamboree on the Rubicon, which is mecca for Jeepers. It is a No. 10 trail - the most extreme among off-highway trail ratings - and it, and any Jamboree, draws owners and fam­ilies from across the United States and beyond.

On this trip, there were 150 Jeeps of all years, sizes and horse­power plying the 18-mile one-way excursion. I was among a group of journalists, driving a new Jeep Wrangler, and was at the end of the line.

If you look way down over the edge, the trail guides say, you can see an old LaSalle fender, from the days when there was a health spa at Rubicon Springs in the 1930s.

This portion of trail was a eounty-maintained road through the 1950s, but it is maintained for off-highway vehicles now by the California Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Division. And every winter the trail gets carved a little differently.

A Jeep Jamboree is a family- oriented, four-wheel drive week­end - sort of a big family reunion. There were 244 adults and 12

children on this trip, so when problems occur, there is always plenty of help. There is a cama­raderie and bond similar to what must have existed among pio­neers on wagon trains west.

From the end of February through the end of October, there are more than 30 Jamborees, all organized by Jeep Jamboree USA and Chrysler’s Jeep Division.

It is an effective marketing tool. Only Jeeps are allowed on a Jamboree, so the company bene­fits from immediate feedback from its customers, and the own­ers get to see how tough their vehicles really are in a well-man­aged program.

Every Jeep is built to handle the Rubicon Trail, though it is not recommended for Cherokees or Grand Cherokees. Some of the switchbacks and chutes are too tight for inexperienced drivers to negotiate without the risk of twisted metal.

It’s also not recommended for children younger than 3 years old, but toddlers and Cherokees were on this Jamboree, and they all made it.

There’s only one No. 10 trail among the Jamborees. Trips such

as the Red River in New Mexico (July 10-12) are rated a moderate 2-4. The Silver Valley trip near Wallace, Idaho, (Aug. 14-16) is rated 3-8, which means you could encounter mud holes that could be deep and extreme, and there will be rock climbing, some of which could be arduous.

Typically, a Jamboree departs the blacktop on a Friday morning and makes it to the other end by Saturday afternoon with a cam- pout in between. Our group hit the trail about 9:30 a.m. and made it to camp at 10 p.m. - a day’s drive of only eight miles.

The Rubicon is demanding, but even novices can make it through. Slow and steady is the only way to make it to the other side, and with more than a hun­dred Jeeps on the trail, the going is slow.

And dusty - three-hot-show- ers dusty - but you’ll only be able to dream of hot water until you return to your hotel on Saturday.

Progress was mind-numbing- ly slow at times on this trip, inter­rupted by rushes of hyperventi­lated fear then soothed by the for­est-green vistas in this pristine range of granite-spiked God’s

Country.Trail guides and “spotters”

help drivers through the tricky spots and give occasional driving tips: “Keep your foot off the clutch” (it interrupts the steady flow of traction and causes unnec­essary wear and tear) and “Keep your thumbs up” (not hooked on a spoke of the steering wheel, so if you hit a rock and the wheel spins, it won’t spin your thumbs with it.)

Patience should be packed with your tool box and emergency supplies. Most of the Rubicon trip is done in first and second gear in four-wheel drive low range.

Many of the delays, however, were caused by breakdowns, flat tires and a few Cherokees and Grand Cherokees with under­sides not adequately protected with skid plates and rock rails, which are sections of angle iron that shield the rocker panels.

Depending on the skill level, those longer vehicles often scraped through some of the tighter switchbacks and chutes. There were several trucks with tattered fenders and mangled rock rails that had been ripped loose. But they all made it to camp that night, and if the repairs are serious, parts can always be helicoptered in.

After my group got rolling Friday morning, it took maybe five minutes for the first halt. An older CJ Jeep in a group ahead blew a tire. A simple repair nor­mally, but not when the vehicle is wedged deep in a dirt chute and there is no way to plant a jack.

No fewer than six men jumped to the task, which gave those behind a half-hour or so to enjoy the scenery. At least it was­n’t raining.

BE PREPAREDWhen common sense pre­

vails, pleasure is the prevailing experience. And being prepared is the key to having a good time in the wilderness.

Mark Kinsey, with his wife, Margaret, and sons Tim, 3, and Andrew, 1, are veteran Jeepers and frequent off-highway travel­ers. Kinsey sells trailers for off­road use and had one hitched to his ‘88 Cherokee, which was rein­forced with large tires, skid plates, tow hooks and rock rails.

The trailer, which has the sturdy look of a munitions carrier, has high ground clearance and uses the same tires as his truck, so the spare tires will work any­where on his vehicle train.

Handling a Cherokee and trailer isn’t as hard as it sounds. Kinsey says: “If the vehicle can make it through, the trailer just follows along.”

And when you are packing diapers for two, it takes a trailer to haul a family’s worth of gear. “I like getting them out to see things you don’t normally get to see,” he said.

You meet all kinds along the trail, such as the group of Germans on a weeklong trip who were driving three old but well- prepared Toyota Land Cruisers.

Among the Jamboree group were license plates from Louisiana, Washington, Florida, Arizona, South Carolina, Illinois, Nevada, Texas and California.

Most of the out-of-state Jeeps are trailered to the Jamborees, but I spoke with several owners who drove their vehicles cross country to the Jamboree.

By 4 p.m. Friday my patience was wearing thin. It was probably best that I didn’t know it would take until 10 p.m. to get to camp, traversing some of the most diffi­cult sections of trail after dark.

The next day at camp, one of the drivers said: “You’ll notice there aren’t any EXIT signs along the trail, or most of us would take ‘em.”

The only way out now was through “Big Sluice,” a punishing descent that is bottle-necked with refrigerator-sized boulders.

Drivers must “walk” their vehi­cles from rock to rock, which the spotters painstakingly highlight with a flashlight beam. The ghastly grind of heavy metal on granite was the password at many turns.

With the optional 30-inch Goodyear Wrangler tires on the journalists’ Jeeps, the compact vehicles can squat and flex like tree frogs clinging to precarious surfaces. I scraped off my share of metal, but the Wrangler looked no worse for the wear.

After the Sluice, it is all downhill to Rubicon Springs, a flat spot in the valley along the meandering Rubicon River.

The camp glowed like a gold- rush town on a Saturday night. In the clearing I could see a bonfire, and people were dancing to a band playing at an outdoor stage next to a makeshift saloon.

Someone handed me several drink tickets and a dinner coupon for the barbecue that was still going strong. I was beginning to see why some people make this trip year after year.

Well after midnight, I headed to my tent with the warm glow of accomplishment, but that would be tested, again, before lunch the next day on the way out.

The second day of driving is much less rigorous. I departed early among a smaller group of Jeeps, but delays were still fre­quent. My turn in the hot seat came on Cadillac Hill when a few Jeeps had stopped again, confin­ing me on an uphill grade.

There’s nothing like a heavy- duty tow strap to save your life, but such is life along the Rubicon. It is a weekend of R, R and R - relaxation, risk and reward, which is the only way a Jeeper would have it. it

Moretti Realty opens Maple Avenue facility

RANDALL MILLER/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Toasting the grand opening of their new office are owners Guy Moretti and Toni Moretti, and Maryann Lisewski, office manager.

RANDALL MILLER/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHERThe staff at Century 21 Moretti Realty celebrates the move into their new home.

SOUTH PLAINFIELD — Guy and Toni Moretti, owners of Century 21 Moretti Realty, announce the grand opening of their new facility at 225 Maple Ave.

The former First Fidelity Bank building hosts more than 5,000 square feet of professional space and parking for 50-plus cars. The entire facility has been renovated, according to Mr. Moretti, and the public was invited to tour the facili­ty at a June 3 grand opening.

Century 21 Moretti Realty is a second-generation company with .roots in the real estate business dat­ing back to 1957 and the late Gene Moretti. Gene’s commitment to cus­tomer service was paramount long Before customer service, was “in vogue,” said Guy.; Guy purchased the business ■from his dad in 1983, when they 'enjoyed a 16 percent market share. Guy adopted his dad’s business jethics and maintained the business ■status quo for 10 years.

In 1994, Guy and his wife Toni, ■recognizing change forthcoming in .the real estate industry, decided to grow their company outside the scope of South Plainfield.>* With a five-agent firm at the 'time, Guy and Toni formulated their business plan and began the process with an emphasis on cus­tomer service, technology, and sales support.

In August 1995, Moretti Realty, with seven agents, purchased a Century 21 franchise. At that time,

the office operated from a 1,500- square-foot facility.

Today, Century 21 Moretti Realty has more than 40 active agents, support staff and more than 75 referral associates. Services now include commercial/industrial real estate, fine homes and estate repre­

sentation, relocation services mort­gage services, new home division and accommodations for the special bilingual needs of their customers.

Among many languages spoken, Century 21 Moretti Realty offers fluent communication in Spanish, Italian, German, Thai, Hindi, and

others. Mary Ann Lisewski, manag­er of the firm, said she is excited about the future of Century 21 Moretti “as we continue to attract

company include exploring merge opportunities with other quality

The Residential Sales Council, the 43,000-member trade organization serving top- producing residential realtors', offers the following guidelines for selecting a real estate ageht:'

Thp Residential Sales Council (800/462-8841 or www.rscqun- cil.com) lists CRS designers in communities throughout the U.S. Ask real estate agents what educational seminars and recent courses they have taken.

2. Experience and Produc­tivity — When you select a real estate agent, you are enlisting the services of the entire firm and are entitled to full use of the company’s resources, including its marketing and management teams, and support staff. Feel free to ask the agent the follow­ing questions:

— How many years haveyo'y worked in the industry? How many transactions were you involved in during the last^gix months or year?

— What is the average timf « home listed with you stays -ofi the market? How many of ySur listings expire unsold?

— Do you specialize in honfes in my price range? Can you pro­vide extensive information about my neighborhood? Make sure the agent is knowledgeable about the community and its schools, retail, businesses and other offerings.

— May I see your testimonial letters or call on three or more references?

3. Professional Rapport —Before signing an agreement ask yourself if your agent is aware of your real estate nefedd. During initial meetings, the real estate agent should listen caref- fully, ask questions, clarify what you said and summarize any. dia­logues.

4. The Marketing Plan (for sellers) —Ask for a clearly writ­ten proposal describing how the real estate agent plans to setl your home. It should include a comparative market analysis, $ profile of the buyer most likely to purchase your home, marketing strategies, financing options and closing information.

j MOORESTOWN — RE/MAX of New Jersey Inc. surpassed a regional milestone with the r^ e n t affiliation of the 1,000th sales associate in the state. The privately held, wholly-owned jrefil estate corporation has sus­tained continual growth both in open offices and number of spfes associates since its found­ing in 1985.

yUnlike traditional real estate Organizations, RE/MAX was designed to attract the “top pro­ducers” in the industry, giving them the freedom and incentive to reach their fullest potential with the highest possible rewards. In exchange for paying management fees and sharing m office overhead, RE/MAX agents receive the maximum possible commission for their transactions, the benefits of a strong support system and access to an international refer­ral network second to none. The id'da led to the name “RE/MAX,” an acronym for “Real Estate Maximums.”

The success of the system speaks for itself. Within 13 years, regional owners Joseph Ventresca and Jeffrey Snyder have brought the relatively

O rtu^ l

M o r e t t i R e a l t y

young RE/MAX of New Jersey from an upstart company to one of the state’s leading real estate organizations comprised of 93 opened offices and more than 1,000 real estate professionals.

The RE/MAX of New Jersey milestone of 1,000 sales associ­ates coincides with a number of RE/MAX International mile­stones.

In addition to surpassing 1 million transaction sales, RE/MAX is celebrating many other milestones during its 25th anniversary year: the first to offer high tech tools for office operations, agent produc­tivity and for consumers through its web site ( w w w . r e m a x - newjersey.com); the first and only to offer a propri­etary satellite communi­cations network — RE/MAX Satellite Network (RSN), facilitat­ing faster dissemination of information and edu­cational programs; the best trained, most highly educated and most pro­ductive membership, leading the industry in

professional designations and production per agent; the fastest growing real estate fran­chise (Entrepreneur magazine, January 1998); and the only major real estate franchise still owned by the original founders who are still active in operation and long-range planning.
