While officials said the incident had not caused any significant damage and the burner was quick- ly repaired, an investigation showed an underground oil tank at the site must be removed. According to Robert Zeglarski, assistant superintendent for busi- ness, approximately 20 gallons of oil leaked through a gauge in the burner and worked its way through a storm sewer into the stream Dec. 12 before it was noticed. The Department of Environ- mental Protection (DEP) was called to the scene and a DEP con- tractor cleaned up the stream. Zeglarski said the district already has paid $10,000 to anoth- er contractor to flush the storm sewer and collect the remaining oil. While the remediation work was going on, Zeglarski added, the underground oil tank at the site was tested and found to be unsta- ble. “This is a serious matter and will be treated that way,” he said. The board approved a contract with an engineering firm, Energy for America Inc. (EFA), to oversee the removal of the tank and to monitor and test the surrounding soil. EFA will be paid 9 percent of the cost to remove the tank, which is estimated to be $6,500, Zeglars- ki said. Other estimated costs include $2,600 to prepare a report for the DEP, $1,710 for on-site monitoring of soil samples and $1,500 for testing. The firm also will bill between $75 and $125 an hour for addi- tional services. At Monday’s meeting, which was held at Wyoming School, board members voted to move for- ward with a locker replacement program at the high school at the same time they learned that a sim- Crime rate spirals downward By Harry Trumbore of The Item Figures released by township police last week show the crime rate in the township dropped by nearly 47 percent over the past nine years. Since 1996, when 1,271 inci- dents were reported, the number of crimes has dropped steadily to a low of 680 incidents recorded in 2004. The total for last year is approximately 6.5 percent lower than the number of incidents recorded the previous year. The figures, collected each year by township police, are submitted to the State Police for its Uniform Crime Report (UCR) which tracks major categories of crime. The report is usually released later in the year. According to township police, the figures released last week do not include incidents recorded by Essex County police in South Mountain Reservation, and the year-end tallies are sometimes adjusted as cases are cleared or incidents are reclassified. Township police Chief Paul Boegershausen is pleased to see the crime rate drop for yet anoth- er year. “I’m pleased it’s down,” the chief said, adding the figures allow law enforcement officials to target their resources toward specific needs. “I try to be as candid as possi- ble,” Boegershausen said. “There are really two things I have some control over: burglaries and motor vehicle theft.” Both, he said, can be curtailed through aggressive patrolling of neighborhoods and parking lots. In 2003, 77 burglaries were reported in the township. That number dropped to 46 in 2004. “Burglaries are down signifi- cantly,” he said. “The one crime the public fears the most is burglary.” The chief explained that bur- glars have to study a street and evaluate a residence as a specific target. “If they feel there’s police around, they’re not going to do it,” he said. Motor vehicle thefts dropped significantly as well. According to the report, 77 incidents were reported in 2004, compared to 110 the previous year. According to police officials an attempted theft, such as when the ignition has been damaged, is usually counted as a motor vehicle theft. Robberies dropped off by 50 percent last year, to only 11 report- ed incidents. The chief made the point almost all the robberies were assaults made during a theft, usu- ally a shoplifter struggling to escape from a store security officer. If the shoplifter pushes or hits the officer, the incident must be recorded as a robbery, not a shoplifting. Shoplifting incidents rose from 131 in 2003 to 145 reported inci- dents last year. In compiling the figures for the UCR, the category of shoplifting is included in the total count of larcenies for the year. Lar- cenies rose from 508 in 2003 to 541 last year. Police Capt. David Barber attributed the rise in larcenies to a rash of reported headlight thefts this year, with thieves targeting the expensive, high intensity headlights featured on many upscale automo- biles. There were 40 such incidents of headlight theft reported over the course of the year, Barber said. For the UCR, State Police offi- cials require an accounting of the seven most serious crimes: homi- cide, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny and motor vehicle theft. There were no homicides recorded in the township last year, nor were there any cases of arson. There were two reported rapes last year. Police were reluctant to discuss the details, however, they said the incidents likely were the result of complaints by people who knew one another rather than ran- dom attacks. Just as officials break out shoplifting as a separate category, they also isolate the total of report- ed incidents of simple assault—a punch or shove thrown during an encounter. Simple assaults were up 16 incidents in 2004 from the 48 reported in 2003. While incidents involving domestic violence or crimes involving juveniles were not included in the UCR figures released last week, officials noted there has been a rise in cases of domestic violence over the past two months. The number of domestic violence incidents rose to 97 in 2004, a dozen more than the previous year. Also kept separately from the UCR figures were disorderly inci- dents, rose to 49 from 31 reported last year. This category of domestic violence includes harassment, ver- bal threats and shoving, Barber said. He said in 2004 police handled a total of 19,331 calls, including 2,348 motor vehicle stops. Out of that number, 510 complaints were signed for offenses ranging from disorderly person arrests to indictable offences. Officer Timothy Burns, who monitors the input of figures for the department, cautions there are discrepancies in the ways various communities define criminal inci- dents and the way each state even- tually presents them to the federal government. For example, Burns said, New Jersey statutes define a punch thrown during an argument with a neighbor as simple assault, while the same punch thrown at a police officer, teacher or other specified person is classified as an aggravat- ed assault, a more serious crime. Many states consider both situa- tions to be simple assaults, accord- ing to Burns. Boegershausen also emphasized the role of the police officer is changing in the post-Sept. 11 world. In addition to maintaining standard police patrols in residen- tial neighborhoods and the down- town area, the township provides added security for public utilities and The Mall at Short Hills. According to the chief, patrolling the mall involves all divisions of the police department, including detectives and traffic personnel. The chief admits while it is tempting to compare the township figures with those of other munic- ipalities, he always takes into con- sideration the township has two major highways on its border and a major mall to protect. The public is welcome to make of it what it will of the crime report figures, Boegershausen said. How- ever, he added, “The report is an informational tool really for the cops.” Tsunami relief a goal at MHS By Harry Trumbore of The Item Millburn High school students have been affected by the scenes and accounts of devastation caused in Southeast Asia and Africa by the Dec. 26 earthquake and tsunami and are doing some- thing about it. The result has been several stu- dent-led initiatives in a number of directions to raise relief funds for the victims. While Keith Neigel, principal of Millburn High School, said he is pleased to see such an outpouring of concern, he had to work hard last week to coordinate the various fund-raising efforts at the school. “As long as we don’t work at cross-purposes, we try not to say ‘no’ to anyone,” Neigel said. “We want to keep each approach fairly different.” One of the first students to react to the tragedy was freshman Jacob Solomon. He approached Neigel the Monday morning after stu- dents returned from vacation and obtained permission from the prin- cipal to set up a collection in homerooms. Jacob said over the winter break he watched pictures from the affected region and saw the death toll climb. He felt the need to do something. “I wanted to get the ball rolling,” he said.

Fight is on as mall ownersappeal local tax assessmentBy Patricia Harris of The Item

A court case involving a taxappeal by the owners of The Mallat Short Hills began last month,according to Ernest Del Guercio,the township’s assessor.

In a case with millions of dollarsat stake, Short HillsAssociates/Taubman Company,based in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., isappealing its tax bills for the years2002 to 2004. The township did arevaluation of all properties in themunicipality in 2002. The mall’sassessment between 2001 and lastyear jumped more than $2 million.

The township is aggressivelydefending its assessment, DelGuercio said last week, and hasfiled a countersuit in state taxcourt, which could result in anincrease in the mall’s assessment.The town has hired an appraiserwho is an expert in mall valuationsin general to bolster its case.

Richard Marchitelli of Cushman& Wakefield, Inc., located in NewYork City, joins two other apprais-ers, Scott Holzahuer and WilliamSteinhardt, who have been hiredby the township to assist in pre-senting the case. The appeal isbeing handled by township’s spe-cial tax counsel, John Lloyd ofRosenblum, Wolf and Lloyd inAllendale.

When asked if he is sticking byhis assessment, Del Guercio said,“Absolutely!”

Timothy Gordon, the town-ship’s business administrator, saidhe believes the assessment wasdone correctly, and the township iscommitted to fighting the case.

“The cost is far less than the costof giving up the revenues from theassessment,” he said.

Gordon also said he believesmall owners are trying to rewritestate laws, by contending the mallearns high revenues because of theway administrators manage thefacility, and they shouldn’t bepenalized for their business acu-men. According to Gordon, how-ever, township officials are notrequired by law to take manage-ment ability into consideration informulating its assessments.

For court purposes, there is apresumption of correctness, andthe burden of proof lies with themall owners, Del Guercio said.

The Mall at Short Hills is thelargest single taxpayer in the town-ship, according to Gerald Viturel-lo, the township’s tax collector.Since 2002, its assessment hasstood at $489,009,900, he said,and that is the figure being con-tested in tax court.

The mall’s 2004 tax bill was$9,584,594, which is computed byapplying the general tax rate of$1.96. That rate applies to com-mercial as well as residential prop-erties, according to Viturello.

In 2001, before the township’srevaluation occurred, the mall paid$7,154,030 in taxes, Viturello alsosaid.

The case is being heard in thetax court division of SuperiorCourt, with Judge Vito Bianco pre-siding, Del Guercio said.

Burning odor triggersevacuation of houseBy Harry Trumboreof The Item

Township firefighters weredrawn to a residence on SilverSpring Road Sunday at 5:10 p.m.to investigate a report of a burningodor in the house.

Residents had evacuated thebuilding by the time firefightersarrived. Because doors to the resi-dence had been opened, the smellhad dissipated, according toreports. Firefighters turned on theheat and operated electrical equip-ment, such as the garage dooropener, and eventually focusedtheir investigation on two discol-ored circuit breakers in the mainelectrical panel in the garage.

Firefighters determined a lightfixture under the counter in thekitchen was causing the circuitbreakers to overheat. Theyremoved the fixture and advisedthe homeowner to have an electri-cian make repairs to the circuitbreakers.

Firefighters said an odor ofsmoke in an Oakhill Road resi-dence reported Saturday around3:30 p.m. was caused by a ventpipe from a clothes dryer. Thehomeowner was told to have the

entire pipe cleaned of lint beforeoperating the dryer again.

A Mountain Avenue homeown-er called firefighters Friday after-noon to report an activated carbonmonoxide alarm. According toreports, firefighters traced the high-er gas readings to a furnace andhot water heater that both requiredcleaning.

A dirty furnace activated asmoke alarm at a Greenwood Dri-ve residence the evening of Jan. 5.Firefighters reported finding theburn box of the oil furnace filledwith soot.

Firefighters were drawn to Mt.Ararat Road around 5:18 p.m. Jan.4 to investigate a reported brushfire. They found a contractor burn-ing construction debris in an opendrum, according to reports. Thefire was extinguished and theworker was informed such actionsare prohibited.

A contractor working with abackhoe at a Briarwood Drive res-idence the afternoon of Jan. 3 acci-dentally severed a service line tothe building, firefighters said.

After arriving on the scene, fireofficials evacuated all workers to asafe distance until a utility workerfrom PSE&G arrived to repair theline.

By Patricia Harrisof The Item

The township’s EnvironmentalCommission has a new chairmanwhose top priority is to assess thenatural resources in the communi-ty and set about protecting them.

Martine Donofrio, who wasappointed chairman this month,said the seven members of thecommission are undertaking anumber of projects this year, thefirst of which is updating themunicipality’s natural resourcesinventory.The inventory provides a snapshotof the land, air, water and livingresources and can be a valuabletool in planning for land use andconservation, according toDonofrio.

The updated inventory willreplace previous inventories madein 1974 and 1992, she said, withmodifications to the way the infor-mation is presented.

To create the maps, the com-mission has already applied forand received a grant from thestate’s Department of Environ-mental Protection in the amount of$2,500, which the township ismatching. In addition, the town-ship has received a grant of $3,000to produce the accompanying textfor the report, which is to be com-pleted in June.

The township has contractedwith the Passaic River Coalition toproduce the inventory, and mem-bers of the commission will specifywhich maps to include and partic-ipate in writing the accompanyingnarrative, Donofrio said.

Jennifer Duckworth, the com-mission member heading the pro-ject, said among maps that mightbe useful are ones showing geolog-ical features, soils, flood plains,wetlands, ground water sources

such as aquifers and wells, watersupply and water quality and vege-tation. In addition, maps can becreated showing residential andrecreational land use, historicplaces and specimen trees.

Duckworth said she is interest-ed in eventually putting the inven-tory on computer, so residentscould easily access the materialand professionals can continually

update the data. The coalition isproviding digitized data that can beused for an electronic version, shesaid.

Also this year, the Environmen-tal Commission will expand uponAquaFest, the educational pro-gram designed to teach the publicabout water resources in the com-munity, Donofrio said. Whereaslast year’s inaugural event was a

community affair, this year’s pro-gram will focus on a specificschool.

The commission is teaming upwith Wyoming School for a pro-gram at the end of May. Everychild in the school will be a con-tributor, she said, as each class willproduce an exhibit. The exhibitswill then be set up in the auditori-um and students will tour eachother’s exhibits.

The high school EnvironmentalClub will also present exhibits andactivities, and the New JerseyAudubon Society will be involved,according to Donofrio. Pamphletswill be made for children to takehome and discuss with their par-ents.

“We believe the program willhave a great impact on the kidsand their awareness of waterresources,” she said. “We want tobe in compliance with state stormwater regulations, which require usto educate everyone.”

The commission also is under-taking a project to restore the pondin Taylor Park. The banks are suf-fering from erosion and, at present,when the pond is filled, the waterattracts geese, according toDonofrio. Planting appropriatevegetation around the pond couldhelp prevent erosion, absorb pol-lutants and discourage geese, shesaid.

The commission is starting astudy group and plans to apply fora grant from the federal Depart-ment of Agriculture for the pond’srehabilitation, according to thecommission chairman.

Commission updating resources inventory Board to unveil newplanning ordinanceBy Patricia Harrisof The Item

A proposed ordinance seekingto restrict the size of houses beingbuilt in the municipality willcome before the Township Com-mittee next week, according tothe chairman of the subcommit-tee drafting the regulations.

The Planning Board subcom-mittee will present the proposedordinance to the township’s gov-erning body at the TownshipCommittee meeting Tuesdaynight. Then Committee memberswill decide if they want to makechanges to the measure beforeintroducing it for passage,Michael Gorman said last week.

The issue of regulating the sizeof homes relative to their lotacreage and the ambiance of theneighborhood goes back as manyas 10 years, Gorman said. Mem-bers of the Planning Board havebeen working in earnest for twoyears on drafting the ordinancethat will prevent the constructionof houses that are viewed as over-sized.

“We felt it was more impor-tant to get it right than to rush theprocess,” he said. “We want tomaintain the look and feel ofneighborhoods, although wehave a respect for residents who

want to come into town andbuild the home of their dreams.”

The proposed ordinance willaffect homes built in the R-3 andR-4 districts, on the larger lots inthe township. Areas the measurewill address include side yard set-backs, height, allowable buildingarea on a single lot, roof anglesand maximum building size,according to Gorman. Hedeclined to give specifics, sayingto do so at this time would be a“disservice.”

He said the proposed ordi-nance will prescribe a ratiobetween the size of the buildingand the lot size, although detailsof that ratio are still under dis-cussion.

Phil Kehoe, the township’sconstruction and zoning officialand a member of the subcommit-tee drafting the proposed ordi-nance, said the measure wouldnot affect any applications forbuilding permits currently beforehim.

In any event, he said, the pro-posed ordinance would not takeeffect for four months after itspassage.

The subcommittee drafting theproposed ordinance, in additionto Gorman and Kehoe, consistsof Jim Dixon, John Buchholz,Rich Keller and Tom Watkinson,township engineer.

OPINION

Coming events

Communal feelingThree weeks ago a catastrophe of monumental pro-

portions occurred on faraway shores.Judging from the response of local individuals and orga-

nizations, the disaster could have occurred within theborders of Millburn-Short Hills. That’s how much we’veshown we care.

Our international relief agencies rushed into action.Locally, our chapter of the American Red Cross joinedother township-based organizations, such as the Ameri-can Jewish Committee, to collect funds to aid the tsuna-mi victims.

Our township students returned from the winter breakwith one thought in mind, to find a way to help the vic-tims of the Dec. 26 tsunami.

They organized quickly and efficiently and already havecollected substantial funds to send to relief agencies oftheir choice. And their efforts are continuing this week-end, with the sale of T-shirts Saturday in the downtownat a community day event conceived of and operated bystudents.

Other youngsters are raising funds in other ways—through a benefit concert Saturday in Skillman, forinstance—and parents at the Millburn High School boysbasketball game Saturday will be collecting donations atthe door.

News of additional fund-raising efforts keeps pouringin to The Item office. The Cora Hartshorn Arboretum isselling wristbands for the relief effort and hosting a spe-cial open house Jan. 22 to address questions about thetsunami.

Members of the Millburn Old Guard have unani-mously agreed to send a donation of hundreds of dollarsto the Red Cross.

No, tsunami disaster relief efforts have not abated in thetownship in the days following Dec. 26.

The shock of an earthquake in Southeast Asia settingoff an overwhelming tidal wave in that region of theworld left those of us watching television coverage fromour living rooms shocked, but not powerless.

We’re responding appropriately, and we can take somemeasure of gratification in seeing our children do so aswell.

We all have questions, of course. Why did this have tohappen? Why was there no early warning system in oper-ation? How can we prevent another such disaster?

Community Congregational Church is addressing thesequestions in a two-week forum starting Sunday. In doingso, the church is adding another dimension to help usunderstand the unbelievable human suffering we are wit-nessing.

We can’t help but question “why” as we come to termswith this horrible event.

Deer

Editor, The Item:In her letter in the Jan. 6 issue of

The Item, Martine Donofrioshould have differentiated betweenanecdotal information and bonafide science. She repeatedly citedthe former, not the later.

Deer in the South MountainReservation do have an impact,just as when we humans enter, ourfootprints have an impact on theforest. However, that is a far cryfrom data collection scientificallyfound to cause irreversible damage,which is what Donofrio wants usto believe occurs with deer.

To my knowledge, there are nostudies that the deer population,current or if allowed to reach a sta-bilized number, would be to the“expense” of what Donofrio calls,“other living things.” The naturalbalance of nature will keep each

wild species in check and in aproper ratio.

The Township of South OrangeVillage and West Orange Town-ship, on Oct. 13, 2004, and Nov.23, 2004, respectively, passed reso-lutions against any form of lethaldeer management in the SouthMountain Reservation or withintheir town limits. Both resolutionsstated, “research has shown thatthe proliferation of deer is natural-ly kept in check by the food supplyand the size of the habitat.” Theresolutions state that only non-lethal methods will be used.

The recent township surveys inMadison and Hanover found that78 percent and 79 percent ofrespondents, respectively, wantednonlethal deer management.

Donofrio is within her rights tofavor plant life over the lives ofsentient and innocent wild ani-mals. However, I resent the use of

unsubstantiated information tojustify and promote the accep-tance of the inhumane slaughter ofdeer.

In memorium

Editor, The Item:A memorial service was held

recently for a man who was seen inthe eyes of many as being a veryspecial person. His name was Wal-ter Guyer. He held a doctoratefrom Princeton University inchemical engineering coupled witha long career in research at Exxon.He had just turned 90 at the timeof his death, but was unusuallyagile for his years and possessed akeen mind.

As a fellow member of the Mill-burn Old Guard it was my privi-lege week after week to bear wit-ness to that special mind at work.He was never content to listen toour weekly guest speakers and

merely absorb what they had tosay. Walter made it a point to sitnext to them at lunch and drawthem out in further questioningand discussion on their subjects.His inquiring mind just wouldn’tpermit him to eat his lunch atanother table. The life of his mindwas indeed a vibrant one.

A familiar chord is struck in myapplicant interviewing work for mycollege.

Interviewers are cautioned thatan overstuffed student folder withglowing letters is not really whatthe admissions officers are lookingfor. They are mining for true goldwhen they ask us to assess theapplicant’s acuity and thirst forknowledge. A lifelong pursuit ofknowledge was an integral part ofthe very fabric of Walter Guyer. Hehad it all, never lost it and trulyraised the bar. He will be missed.

Keeping the ‘garden’in the Garden StateBy The New Jersey Conservation Foundationfor The Item

Large and small farms are stillimportant to New Jersey’s life andeconomy. They are the “gardens”that give the Garden State itsname.

But in the face of intense devel-opment and economic pressure,keeping farming alive in New Jer-sey will take some help and plan-ning. Recently, The New JerseyConservation Foundation (NJCF)and the Northeast Organic Farm-ing Association of New Jersey(NOFA-NJ) held a symposiumcalled “Growing the Future: Chart-ing a Course for Farmland Preser-vation and Agriculture in New Jer-sey.” Its purpose was to seek con-sensus about the future of farmlandpreservation and agriculture inNew Jersey. More than 100 farm-ers, conservationists, municipalofficials and interested citizensattended.

Karen Anderson, executivedirector of NOFA-NJ, the confer-ence’s first speaker, alerted theaudience to some of the econom-ic realities New Jersey farmers face,which help frame decisions aboutselling land to developers. Forexample, farmers sell convention-ally grown soybeans for $4.88 abushel today, compared to $6.07 abushel in 1981, more than 20 yearsago.

Farming is hard work, and isimpacted by notoriously capriciousmarkets and climateconditions. It’s a tough sell for thenext generation, and Andersonnoted less than 5 percent of NewJersey farmers are under 35 years

old. We may need a “FarmerPreservation Program” too.

The symposium’s keynoteaddress was delivered by BrianSnyder, executive director of thePennsylvania Association of Sus-tainable Agriculture, a nonprofitorganization that promotes prof-itable farming that produceshealthy food while respecting thenatural environment. Snyderspoke of concerns for the health ofour entire food system, from foodproduction to the environmentand human health, and cited thepreservation of farmland as oneway to help maintain an overallhealthy agricultural system.

A locally grown lunch, includingchicken, vegetables, cider andpumpkin pie from New Jerseygrowers, showcased New Jersey’sefforts to support our state’s farm-ers.

NJCF summarized recent pollsconducted by the Eagleton Insti-tute that demonstrated strong pub-lic support for using preservedfarmland as a way to conserve nat-ural resources (75 percent), andone conducted by PublicMind atFairleigh Dickinson University,commissioned by the state FarmBureau, which also showed strongpublic interest in maintaining theability to buy fresh produce grownin New Jersey (76 percent) and astrong feeling that agricultureshould play an important role inthe future of the state (85 per-cent). Results like these, and votersupport for initiatives that raise tax-es to fund farmland preservation atthe local, county and state levels,show that New Jerseyans want tokeep New Jersey’s farming heritagealive.

Such outstanding service wasvery evident at the disastrous firethat occurred last week at a homeon Watchung Road. Our firefight-

ers exhibited great care and con-cern in retrieving and safeguardingTorahs and other religious articlesfrom the synagogue located in theresidence, working under extremeand dangerous conditions. Fortu-nately, there were no people athome at the time.

Millburn Township is most for-tunate in being protected by such adedicated corps of firefighters whoperform beyond all possible expec-tations. We would like them toknow that they have our gratitudeand admiration.

As farmer and State AgricultureDevelopment Board (SADC)member Gary Mount described,the SADC, in convening its Farm-land Affordability Task Force, hasbegun to explore how farmers canafford to buy or lease land in NewJersey.

In addition, Beth Kean-Waddell,farm manager at Greensgrow,described their successful indoorfarm operation in Philadelphia,Pa., located on a former brown-fields site.

Siting industrial agriculture onsimilar sites in New Jersey is a goodway to secure public support, giv-en the current debate aboutwhether we should be buildinglarge structures on preserved farm-

land sites.Tim Dunne, resource conserva-

tionist at the Natural ResourcesConservation Service, describedfederal programs that fund farmersto preserve wildlife habitat, con-serve water resources or transitionto organic production.

So far, our state has preservedmore than 130,000 acres of farm-land. It’s a good start, but is stillonly about 15 percent of our agri-cultural land base.

That farms and farming areworth preserving should go with-out saying. But if they are going tobe a part of New Jersey’s future,there is lots of work to do.

By Thom Molyneauxfor The Item

Take a conservative uptight guyand match him with a free-spirited,free-loving chick and you haveyour basic (all right, cliché) 1960sand ’70s romantic comedy.

Make it a movie with the guy asuicidal 19-year-old, played by anear-catatonic Bud Cort, and the“hippie” chick, a feisty 80-year-oldplayed by the irrepressible RuthGordon, and you have a 1971black comedy criticized for its badtaste but subsequently lauded as a“cult favorite.”

Get Tom Jones, the lyricist of“The Fantasticks,” “I Do! I Do!”and “110 in the Shade,” involved inan adaptation of that movie andyou end up with “Harold andMaude: The Musical,” a unique,small-scale musical that’s current-ly in its world premiere engage-ment at the Paper Mill Playhouse.

By definition, a movie doesn’tbecome a “cult” success, doesn’thave a small band of fanatics view-ing it again and again, unless it’salso a popular failure, unless thevast majority of moviegoers dislikeit or ignore it. Since that’s the case,it would seem the movie “Haroldand Maude” would not be apromising basis for a musical.

However, the great Americanmusicals have historically beenadaptations of not-so-great materi-als: books, plays and short storiesthat were flawed, discursive or lim-ited in some way but with enough

creativity to excite musical talentsto reshape the contents. Thus, aone-act play, “Green Grow theLilacs” becomes “Oklahoma,” awide collection of World War IIstories is condensed into “SouthPacific” and a series of New Yorkfables becomes “Guys and Dolls.”The key to the success of theseadaptations is that they sharpen,expand, cut, add stories and char-acters—and most importantly, raisethe emotional temperature.

With this production of “Haroldand Maude,” Tom Jones and hisnew musical partner, JosephThalken, and director Mark S.Hoebee have successfully broughtthe screen to the stage. Story,scenes and dialogue are faithfullyand often cleverly re-created. Thecreators are particularly effective intheir use of rear screen projections.

But they have been so faithful tothe original, but emotionally mut-ed, movie they’ve ended uppreaching to the choir. If you liked“Harold and Maude,” the movie,you’ll like “Harold and Maude:The Musical,” a whole lot—if youdidn’t, not so much. This is an off-Broadway style musical very muchin the vein of the long-running“Fantasticks” and not the big,brassy Broadway extravaganza towhich the Paper Mill audience isaccustomed. It’s also original,unpretentious and obviously puttogether by talented professionals.For an audience willing to take iton its own low-key terms, “Haroldand Maude: The Musical” deliversan offbeat, entertaining evening of

theater. Not surprisingly, the chiefsource of entertainment is thewonderful Estelle Parsons in therole Ruth Gordon used to own.(Miss Parsons will undoubtedly be

Maude in my mind and memoryfrom now on.) She easily com-mands the stage from her firstentrance to her last exit and bringshonesty, a comic flair and a strong

pleasant voice to the spry octoge-narian rebel. The highlight of theshow has to be her duet with EricMilligan, who has a nice presenceand a solid musical comedy voice,

as the funeral-loving Harold. Inthis musical number, the two singa lot, dance a bit, strum a ukulele,click spoons, bang pots and pans,covers and lids, in a delightful ren-dition of a catchy, upbeat songcalled “Song in my Pocket.”

Donna English sings well anddoes as much as she can with therole of Harold’s mother, which isas one-dimensional here as it wasin the movie. All the other charac-ters that Harold and Maudeencounter are played by the versa-tile Danny Burstein and DonnaLynne Champlin. They are bothstrong singers and easily handlethe sketch characters mostly writ-ten as clichés: the psychiatrist isreally crazy and speaks with a Ger-man accent, the gardener is Japan-ese and talks pidgin English, themaid is Spanish and gives anuncomprehending “jes” as theanswer to every question, and soon. Donna Lynne Champlin, how-ever, grabs center stage as Sun-shine, a kind of 1960sbeatnik/actress, and does a show-stopping turn with the characterand the song “Montezuma” thatdeliciously parodies the musicalstyles of some of the author’s con-temporaries (and rivals?)

“Harold and Maude: The Musi-cal” runs through Feb. 6 at thePaper Mill Playhouse. Call the boxoffice at (973)376-4343 for ticketsand information or visitwww.papermill.org. Tickets rangefrom $31 to $68, with student rushtickets available at $16 on the dayof performance.

Author’s CornerAlfred Martino, a 1982 graduate

of Millburn High School, has writ-ten his first novel, “Pinned,” whichis due to be published by Harcourt,Inc., next month.

The novel, written for teens, is acoming-of-age tale that follows twohigh school seniors as they embarkon a quest for the state high schoolwrestling championship. One ofthe characters lives in the town-ship.

Martino, a former varsitywrestling captain at Millburn andwrestling coach, said this week hewrote the book to put the sport inits proper context.

“Wresting is a beautiful, power-ful, subtle, intellectual, heroic, ath-letic discipline,” Martino said. “Ittakes a remarkable amount ofcourage and dedication.”

He also said he wanted toexpress his indebtedness to thesport. “For me, wrestling createdthe foundation upon which I built

a successfulcareer andpersonal life.”

He credit-ed his coach-es at the highschool—JerrySachsel, RichMcSorley andBill Miron—with inspiringhim to

embrace thesport and teaching him thatsportsmanship and discipline aremore important than wins or loss-es.

Martino, 40, grew up in thetownship and graduated fromDuke University and University ofSouthern California’s MarshallSchool of Business. He now livesin Jersey City.

He is president of Listen & LiveAudio, an audiobook publishingcompany he founded in 1993. Thecompany has published more than200 titles on both compact discand cassette, in abridged andunabridged versions.

His novel has been selected as aJunior Library Guild selection andalso has been published as anaudiobook.

Martino will be appearing at theMillburn Free Public Library Mon-day, March 7, at 1 p.m., to discusshis book.

Paper Mill’s head takes stock, sets goals By Patricia Harrisof The Item

With a year and a half under hisbelt as president and chief execu-tive officer of the Paper Mill Play-house, Michael Gennaro believeshe is appealing to local audiences.

The target audience is youngfamilies who have been movinginto local communities but forwhom Paper Mill has not beenpart of their lives, Gennaro said inan interview last week. Headdressed artistic and administra-tive changes he has been makingat the 1,200-seat theater that hasbeen designated the official statetheater of New Jersey.

Prior to coming to Paper Mill,Gennaro served as managingdirector of Steppenwolf TheatreCompany in Chicago for sevenyears.

“There’s a much different buy-ing profile out there now,” he said.“Years ago people had subscrip-tions where they went to the the-ater every fourth week. With peo-ple’s busier lifestyles, the shift hasbeen toward single tickets.”

In addition, he said, there aretimes people want to go to NewYork City for large-scale shows,

and times when they seek enter-tainment on a more intimate scaleand at more reasonable ticketprices.

Gennaro’s observations on therole of a regional theater haveguided his programming.

“Doing musical revivals was fora certain demographic,” he said.“Now we need to look at re-imag-ining musical theater as well asdeveloping new works.”

The 2004-05 season, the firstseason for which he managed thetheater’s programming, was billedas “a season of firsts.” None of theshows had appeared on PaperMill’s stage before, and each wasdirected by a different director.

Gennaro noted the first show ofthe season, “Of Thee I Sing,” drewmix reactions, although manyviewers told him they enjoyed thequality of the production.

With regard to the next show,“She Loves Me,” Gennaro said,“Critics just loved it.”

He also pointed to the currentshow, “Harold and Maude: TheMusical,” which he described asinventive and offbeat and said hasdrawn a positive reaction fromearly audiences.

Gennaro said the success of theseason should be judged following

two upcomingshows, “DrawerBoy” and “Rag-time.” He alsosaid last month’sproduction of“The Nutcrack-er,” which fea-tured the NewJersey Ballet,exceeded thetheater’s goal by

about 5 percent.“We were all

very pleased,” he said.Gennaro has been making staff

changes and reorganizing theadministrative structure at thePaper Mill. Since coming on boardin April 2003, he has filled threekey positions—in marketing, devel-opment and production—with staffmembers of his choosing.

He also promoted Mark S.Hoebee, a theater veteran, to asso-ciate artistic director.

In addition, in August Gennarohired Diane Claussen, whom hehas known and worked with formany years, as managing director,a role he said exists in manyregional theaters. Claussen’s job isto undertake many of the day-to-day business operations of the the-ater, including contract negotia-

tions, budget analysis and insur-ance matters.

Having a managing director inplace is freeing him up to do morestrategic planning, fund-raisingand artistic planning, Gennarosaid.

Since he started at the PaperMill, he has added 12 new boardmembers, bringing the number upto 31.

Those members, who meet fourtimes a year, provide guidance forpolicy, help with fund-raising andserve as ambassadors to the gen-eral public.

In discussing the theater’s finan-cial situation, Gennaro said on theexpense side, the theater has beenable to stay within its budget ofapproximately $19 million.

On the revenue side, he said,projections are that box officereceipts will be off 10 percent,which he said mirrors the rest ofthe country.

He noted revenues on Broad-way for this year are downbetween 6 and 15 percent. Factorssuch as the economy, the war inIraq and the presidential electionare possible contributing factors,he speculated.

“Hopefully, some of the malaiseis starting to lift,” he said.

Mystery writer pensfirst historical novelBy Patricia Harrisof The Item

After writing three mysterybooks, township author ThomasSwan has taken a break fromcrime, at least temporarily, to con-centrate on an historical novel thathas been in the back of his mindfor more than three decades.

Swan’s most recently publishedwork, “The Friends of Billy Hud-nut,” harks back to his youth inPittsburgh. The novel takes placein the mid-1930s and is populatedwith characters based on people hehas known, as well as some keyhistorical figures.

“As a kid, I remember beingimpressed with the lives of friendsof the family,” Swan said lastmonth in describing the impetusfor his new novel. “We knew threemen who in the space of a yearcommitted suicide. That was thestarting point for my story.”

Swan, who has written threebooks dealing with art crime—“TheDaVinci Deception,” “TheCezanne Chase” and “The FinalFaberge”—said his early notes forhis latest work were made beforehe began writing mysteries. Hestarted writing “Billy” 25 years ago,and worked on it off and on, leav-ing it for five years at a stretch. Lastyear he gave the book his fullattention and finished it.

Much of the story is seenthrough the eyes of Billy Hudnut, a15-year-old boy who watchesfriends of his mother and fatherdeal with major life crises at a bit-tersweet time in the country. Thenovel describes the efforts of onefamily coping with alcoholism andanother dealing with the devasta-tion of a suicide. Another thread ofthe story concerns the blackpreacher Zebedee Mapeson, whoministers to his flock of laborersand maids while confronting a big-

oted white min-ister whothreatens toclose down hischurch.

Swan said hewanted toexplore thetimes, whichincluded theGreat Depres-sion, racial

issues and thegrowing threat of

war in Europe with Hitler’s occu-pation of the Rhineland. Ultimate-ly, though, he said his goal, as withhis other books, is to entertain thereader.

In publishing his newest book,the Woodcrest Avenue residenttook a new tack, he said. Takingadvantage of current technology,he decided to self-publish thework, bypassing the traditionalroute of editors and publishinghouses. For about $600, he had aninitial run of about 50 books print-ed, and more can be published ondemand.

“Billy” came off the press in lessthan three months from the timehe turned in the finished manu-script, compared with the year ormore each of his prior works tookto work their way through the tra-ditional publishing house maze.Swan, who launched his writingcareer at age 65 after a long careerin advertising, said he has spokenwith a major publishing house andis hopeful the work will be pickedup for wider publication and pub-licity.

“The Friends of Billy Hudnut,”published by iUniverse, Inc., isavailable at Goldfinch Books inMaplewood and on the Web atAmazon and Barnes & Noble.

Swan’s current project is prepar-ing a daylong seminar on artcrimes he will deliver Wednesday,Feb. 9, in Vero Beach, Fla.

To avoid potential problems

with snow shoveling, drink a

glass of water and do some

warm-up exercises before

picking up a shovel. Try ten

minutes of marching in place,

rolling your shoulders,

swinging your arms, and

flexing your knees. Wear

boots with slip-resistant

soles, and use a shovel with an S-shaped handle.

Shovel the snow to depths of two-inch increments,

and take frequent breaks. Hold the shovel close to

your body and, if possible, push the snow out of the

way. If you must lift, squat with your legs apart, knees

bent, and back straight. Scoop up small amounts of

snow, using your legs to lift. Avoid tossing the snow.

Instead, carry shovelfuls to the snow pile.

This column on snow shoveling has been brought to

you as a public service. Young children, teenagers,

adults, and senior citizens can all benefit from

chiropractic care. Remember, before your spine starts

complaining to you, it is wise to get a simple

chiropractic spinal checkup. At MILLBURN

CHIROPRACTIC ARTS, we provide gentle and safe

chiropractic care for the entire family. You get your

teeth, your blood pressure, and your eyes checked,

why not your spine? Please call 973-467-3993 to

schedule an appointment. We’re located at 68 Essex

Street, across from the train station.

P.S. Avoid twisting motions when shoveling, as

these can exert harmful stresses on the back.

The bright lights of the “GreatWhite Way” may be just over thebridge, but for many budding per-formers, the journey to stardombegins at Performers TheaterWorkshop (PTW) in Livingston.Performers who have studied atthe school, which is now celebrat-ing its 21st anniversary, haveappeared in many Broadwayshows, hundreds of commercials,movies and television shows.

That puts PTW right up there in

the big league.It isn’t all about “making the big-

time” though. While a large per-centage of the children are profes-sional performers, most studentstake classes just for fun.

Howard Kravitz should know.He has been involved in entertain-ment for more than 50 years as acomposer, arranger, producer,bandleader, and teacher. Julliardgraduates, Kravitz and his late wife,Esther, fulfilled their dreams and

established PTW. They had theinsight and creative vision to fill aspecial niche in the performing artscommunity.

Together they created a per-forming arts school, offering all the

classes “under one roof” that abudding performer needs, whileproviding their students with thecare and support to help build self-confidence for success on and offthe stage.

For 21 years, PTW has createdan artistic community that hasbecome the “theatre home” tothousands of dedicated students.

For more information aboutPTW, call Kravitz at (973) 992-3034 or go to www.ptwonline.com.

West Orange edges MHS grapplersBy Jim Connellyof The Item

Mike Artigliere realizes whathis Millburn High School varsitywrestling team must do in order tobe successful in dual meet compe-tition.

The challenge for Millburn’sthird-year head coach is gettingthat point across to his grapplers.

Artigliere’s quest takes onadded importance given the factthe Millers’ two dual meet losseshave been by a total of ninepoints—a 36-35 setback at Moun-tain Lakes on Dec. 21 and a 38-30home loss to West Orange on Jan.5.

“We realize every match is notgoing to be like Chatham,” saidArtigliere, referring to the Millers’season-opening 64-13 rout of theCougars on Dec. 18. “We aregoing to have to work hard forevery win. While we are verystrong in certain weights, we needother guys to step up.”

Take last week’s match againstWest Orange, for instance.

The Millers, in a match thatstarted at 145 pounds, built a 12-3 advantage on consecutive pinsby Seth Podhoretz at 152 poundsand Jordan Less at 160 pounds.

West Orange responded byreeling off four pins in succession—at 171, 189, 215 and heavy-weight—putting the host Millers ina 27-12 hole with seven boutsremaining.

Freshman Greg Pollock com-menced a string of three consecu-tive Miller victories with a fall in5:57 against West Orange’s JohnBahana at 103 pounds. Pollock’spin shaved the Mountaineers’ leadto 27-18.

A 9-3 victory by Millburn’sRicky Chandler against WestOrange’s Travis Drappi at 112pounds shaved the visitors’ lead to27-21.

Millburn’s Greg Schvey deckedWest Orange’s Anthony Dietrickin 1:41 at 119 pounds. Schvey’spin knotted the match at 27 withfour bouts remaining.

West Orange regained the leadfor good at 30-27 thanks to an 18-11 victory by Dave Joisil at 125pounds against Millburn’s MattLauterhahn.

The Mountaineers stretchedtheir lead to eight points, 35-27, on

a 22-7 technical fall decision in5:37 by Tom Lorenzo against Mill-burn’s Alex Pelham-Webb at 130pounds.

Eric Rice of Millburn, needing awin to keep his team in the match,came through with a 9-5 defeat ofWest Orange’s Lawrence Petigrowat 135 pounds. Rice’s victoryreduced West Orange’s lead to 35-30.

The outcome hinged on thefinal bout of the evening—the 145-pound clash between Millburn’sChase Helwig and West Orange’sJeff Petigrow. The Millers neededa technical fall win to tie thematch or a fall to pull out the vic-tory.

Petigrow sent the Miller faithfulhome disappointed as he cameaway with a 9-5 victory, sealingthe Mountaineers’ eight-point vic-tory.

“It stinks being that close,”Artigliere said. “We have to learn

that it is not going to be easy.”A controversial ruling in the

189-pound bout turned the matchin West Orange’s favor.

Jorge Aspiazu of Milburn wason the verge of pinning WestOrange’s Jean Louissant when hisopponent, claiming he wasinjured, asked for and was grantedtime.

Louissant, who appeared to beuninjured, took advantage of hisreprieve to deck Aspiazu in 1:51.

“It’s unfortunate he gave thekid a breather,” Artigliere said ofthe decision by match referee BillLanni. Louissant’s pin gave WestOrange a 15-12 lead. If Louissanthad not been granted time andAspiazu had gone on to post a pin,the Millers would have held an18-9 lead. Those potential sixpoints would have ultimatelyresulted in a 36-32 Millburn victo-ry based on the outcome of thecontest’s final nine bouts.

MILLER NOTES—The matchwas the second straight for Mill-burn in which the final outcomehinged on the result of the lastbout. The Millers dropped a 36-35decision to Mountain Lakes onDec. 21. Millburn trailed 36-31entering the last bout, the 140-pound contest between Podhoretzand Mountain Lakes’ Mario Pas-safiume. The Millers found them-selves in need of a technical fallvictory to earn a tie or a fall to pullout the win. Podhoretz defeatedPassafiume 15-3. The victory,worth four team points, left Mill-burn on the losing end of a one-point decision.

Millburn was scheduled to hostMadison in the Northern HillsConference, Suburban Divisionopener last night. Next up for theMillers are road matches againstdivision rivals Delbarton at 1 p.m.Saturday and DePaul at 7 p.m.Wednesday.

By Jim Connellyof The Item

Head coach Patty Edelmanmaintains she continues to be“amazed” by the attitude displayedby the players on the MillburnHigh School varsity girls basketballteam.

The start of the 2004-05 cam-paign has not been easy on Edel-man and her players. The Millersentered play this week havingopened the season with eight con-secutive losses. Only three of thosecontests were decided by sevenpoints or less.

“The girls have the desire thewin and they immediately put eachdefeat behind them and preparefor the next game,” Millburn’s fifth-year head coach said. “They don’tsit around and mope. They arevery resilent.”

Millburn has been plagued byan inability to put together fourconsecutive productive quarters ona consistent basis thus far this win-ter.

A case in point was the team’sSaturday afternoon contest againstvisiting St. Elizabeth.

The Millers trailed by only sixpoints, 16-10, midway through thesecond quarter, before St. Eliza-beth closed out the half on a 12-0run. St. Elizabeth (3-6) went on topost a 54-39 victory.

“We had 12 turnovers in the firsthalf,” Edelman said. “We weredown by 18 points at halftime andcould not get ourselves back in thegame. We did really well in the sec-ond half. We outscored them inboth quarters and had just sixturnovers in the second half. Wedid much better, but against any

team we need to be more consis-tent.”

Senior guard Kaitlyn Campi andfreshman Alexa Maldonado, bothguards, paced Millburn with 12points apiece. Miller sophomoreforward Lia Fierro chipped in withnine points and seven rebounds.

The 39-point showing repre-sented a new season-high for Mill-burn.

Millburn’s previous high was 37,a total it tallied on two occasionsthis season, the most recent com-ing in a 14-point loss at MorrisKnolls this past Thursday.

MILLER NOTES—Maldonadohas made a “nice impact” for us,”Edelman said. Maldonado scored16 points in her first varsity start ina 48-36 loss to Pequannock Jan. 4.The freshman guard came back inthe next game to score a team-high12 points in the loss to MorrisKnolls.

Campi was named to the all-tournament team at the MillburnHoliday Tournament. Campi

scored 23 points in the two-gametournament, including 17 in a 47-37

loss to Florence on the openingnight of the tournament Dec. 28.

MHS girl cagers enduring difficult season MHS bowling team haltsWest Orange win streak

A tie normally would not mer-it a team much attention.

Except when such a resultcomes against a team working ona third consecutive undefeatedcampaign.

Millburn High School’s bowl-ing team held Northern HillsConference, Southern Divisionrival West Orange to a 10.5-10.5tie Jan. 6 at Plaza Lanes in Madi-son, ending the Mountaineers’winning streak at 32 matches.West Orange (4-0-1) last lost amatch in the 2001-02 campaign.

“Even though it wasn’t a win,

this was definitely the most excit-ing match we have been involvedin in years,” said Millburn headcoach Fritz Jonach, whose teamhad opened the season Dec. 13with an 18-3 loss to West Orange.

Trevor Beston (627), JoshTroper (521) and Jill Kaufman(513) recorded the best three-game scores for Millburn (3-2-1).

MHS cagers living dangerouslyBy Jim Connellyof The Item

A new nickname may be inorder for Millburn High School’svarsity boys basketball team.

The moniker “Cardiac Cagers”comes to mind given Millburn’spenchant for taking contests downto the wire.

Five of the Millers’ first eightgames have been decided by agrand total of 14 points. Three ofthose contests took place in a spanof five days last week.

The Millers won two of thosegames by a total margin of fivepoints and lost the third by threepoints.

Millburn’s inability to put awaythe opposition finally reared upand got the best of head coachRodger Blind’s squad when hostDelbarton used a 9-1 fourth-quar-ter showing to pull out a 45-42 vic-tory Saturday afternoon in Morris-town.

The Millers (6-2) never trailedthroughout the Northern HillsConference, Suburban Divisioncontest before the Green Wave’sMatt Delaney sank the game-win-ning three-pointer as time expired.The loss snapped Millburn’s five-game winning streak and dropped

the Millers’ Suburban Divisionrecord to 2-2.

“We played very well and exe-cuted our game plan,” said Blindabout his team’s efforts againstDelbarton (7-1, 4-0 Suburban Divi-sion). “We played much betterthan we did against Pequannock (a48-44 Miller win on Jan. 4) andWayne Valley (a 44-43 Miller winon Jan. 6),” Blind added.

The local cagers carried a 41-36lead into the final quarter of Satur-day’s matinee, only to be done inby their failure to make foul shotsdown the stretch.

“We had the lead and madethem foul us,” Blind said. “We haveto bank on us making our foulshots.”

Senior center Charlie Cerlenscored Millburn’s lone point of thefinal quarter when he made one oftwo from the charity stripe.

The Millers, despite their strug-gles at the line, still found them-selves with an opportunity to pullout the victory in the waning sec-onds.

Liam Pfeiffer, Millburn’s seniorguard, put up an unsuccessfulshort-range shot with about 18 sec-onds left according to Blind.

The Green Wave, following atimeout, got the ball in the hands ofDelaney, who got off the game-

winning trey despite being hound-ed by Miller junior guard DaveSison.

Cerlen, who failed to score indouble figures for the first time thisseason in the Millers’ previous out-ing, scored a game-high 14 points.

MILLER NOTES—Millburnsurvived two potential game-win-ning shots to escape with a one-point win against Wayne Valley.Cerlen was held to a season-loweight points by Wayne Valley’s Bil-ly Moakley, a 6-8 center.

Junior forward Brandon Boffard(11 points) and Pfeiffer (10 points)paced the Millburn attack.

The Millers held a seeminglycomfortable 38-24 lead enteringthe final quarter of their Jan. 4 con-test against Pequannock, whichentered the game with a 1-4record.

The Golden Panthers put ascare into the Millers, outscoringthe local cagers 20-10 over thefinal eight minutes.

The interest rate is based on anindex plus a margin, with a loan amount of $100,000. The payment is fixed for the first 3 years, and because the interest rate may change after 3 years, the payment shown may change at the 4th year and annually thereafter subject to applicable margins and/or caps.

“It has been an absolute plea-sure to have been her coach theselast four years and see her developinto the great player and personthat she is.”

Laura Buckley, the 2004 recipi-ent of the Karin Peri AchievementAward, drew those words of praisefrom outgoing Millburn HighSchool varsity girls soccer teamcoach Steve Buesser.

“Laura has been a total teamplayer and is certainly well respect-ed, not only by me and her team-mates, but also every coachthroughout the conference andcounty,” Buesser said.

The senior tri-captain receivedthe award from Buesser at theMillburn High School girls soccerdinner held Dec. 8 at Canoe BrookCountry Club in Summit. Buckleyis the last player to receive theannual award, which honors thememory of former Millburn play-er Karin Peri, from Buesser. Thedinner marked one of the last offi-cial duties as the team’s headcoach for Buesser, who is steppingdown after 17 seasons.

The Karin Peri AchievementAward has been presented since1995 “in loving memory of KarinPeri to the player in the girls soccerprogram who best represents thequalities Karin Peri exhibited as co-captain of the 1995 Millburnjunior varsity soccer team, includ-ing leadership, teamwork, sports-manship, will to win and commit-ment to individual and teamimprovement.”

The Millburn Strikers, the girlssoccer program’s booster club, pre-sents the award. The award is vot-ed on by members of the Millburnvarsity and junior varsity teams.

Peri was killed in an automobileaccident in the fall of 1995. Shewas 15.

“Karin Peri was an excellentperson who means a lot to theMillburn girls soccer program,”Buckley said. “I am honored to begiven the Peri award. It means a lotto me because it was voted on bymy teammates, and I value theiropinions very much. I only hopethat I can truly exhibit the samequalities that Karin Peri had.”

Buckley, a three-time EssexCounty Girls Soccer CoachesAssociation first team selectionand two-time New Jersey GirlsSoccer Coaches Association stateselect player, has announced plansto continue her soccer career atNew York University.

“Laura Buckley is one of thebest players to ever come throughour program and has been the bestsweeper in the county for the lastthree years,” Buesser said. “She hashad a tremendous impact ondefense for us and has been amajor reason why our teams havewon 63 games in her four years atMillburn, winning two consecutivecounty championships (2002,2003) and four consecutive con-ference championships (2001-2004).

“Laura is a very intelligent soc-cer player with excellent skill and asuperior knowledge of the game.She is like having a coach on thefield when she is in there.”

Buckley joins Anne Peri (1995),Deirdre Mahaney (1996), NicoleJackman (1997), Beth Kennedy(1998), Jenna Gotlinger (1999,2000), Nicole Spinelli (2001), BrynHagmann (2002) and Nicki Leit-ner (2003) as recipients of theKarin Peri Achievement Award.Anne Peri is Karin’s sister.

The concept of “family” is some-thing Steve Buesser instilled in theplayers on his Millburn HighSchool varsity girls soccer teams.

His players must have taken hiswords to heart as Millburn’s “fam-ily” of players helped Buesserrecord 203 wins in 17 seasons asthe Millers’ head coach.

Buesser, who announced hisresignation as the team’s headcoach Nov. 8, addressed his playersfor the final time when he deliv-ered his final customary end-of-season talk at last month’s annualMillburn girls soccer awards din-ner.

“This season was a very suc-cessful one for us,” Buesser told theassembled gathering of players, fel-low coaches and parents at theDec. 8 dinner. “Although we didn’taccomplish all of our goals, theseason was a lot of fun and was avery rewarding one.”

The Millers posted a 14-3-1record and captured a sixth con-secutive Northern Hills Confer-ence division title, claiming theSuburban Division title with a 12-1-1 record.

“There was a time when wewished we could win just one butto get six in a row is quite anaccomplishment,” Buesser said.

The 2004 campaign alsomarked the end of a remarkableaccomplishment of six consecutiveappearances in the Essex CountyTournament final.

Millburn is losing seven playersto graduation, a group anchored bytri-captains Laura Buckley, AliFoley and Morgan Salinger.

Buckley, who opened the sea-son as the team’s starting centermidfielder, returned to her accus-tomed sweeper position following

Millburn’s first setback of the sea-son, a 4-1 loss to division rivalCaldwell in the campaign’s fifthmatch.

Millburn, which had allowedseven goals in its first five match-es, one fewer than it allowed in 22matches in 2003, promptly reeledoff seven straight shutouts follow-ing Buckley’s return to sweeper.

“Laura is one of the best eversweepers to come through our pro-gram,” Buesser said,

Foley, who was slowed by a footinjury over the last half of the sea-son, tallied nine goals and a team-leading 10 assists.

“Ali has been one of the mosttalented players to come throughour program,” Buesser said. “If notfor playing injured the last half ofthe season, her numbers wouldhave been even more impressive.”

Salinger also played a major roleon defense.

“Morgan is without a doubt thebest marking defender ever to playfor Millburn,” Buesser said abouthis star stopper. “She always drawsthe assignment of marking theopposing team’s best offensiveplayer and always takes that play-er out of the game.

Millburn also loses startingdefender Lauren Burrick, reservemidfielder Coleen Busby, reservedefender Charis Fischer andreserve forward Sarah Seidman.

Seven current juniors areexpected to return next fall, a listheaded by 2005 co-captainsRachel Darivoff and Gabby Mc-Glynn.

“Rachel once again started as anoutside defender this season anddid an excellent job,” Buesser said.“With her experience from last sea-son, Rachel picked it up a notchand became a more dominantdefender.”

McGlynn’s major contributionis not reflected in the final statistics.

“Gabby once again played astarting midfield position for usand did an outstanding job in thatrole,” Buesser said. “Gabby scoredfive goals for the team but wasmost important to us by bringingthe ball up the field and creatingscoring opportunities for otherplayers.”

Juniors expected to return alongwith Darivoff and McGlynn aremidfielders Laura Costanzo, andCarly Furman, reserve keeperSarah Katzman, forward JennaMercadante and defender AnnaPatterson.

“Laura (Costanzo) became astarter this season as an outsidemidfielder and did a very com-mendable job,’ Buesser said.

Furman thrived in a reserve rolethis past fall. “Carly was a veryimportant player for us this seasoncoming off the bench and giving usdepth at the midfield position,”Buesser said.

“Sarah (Katzman) once againdid a fine job for us coming off thebench and playing the goalie posi-tion,” Buesser said.

“Sarah got considerably moreplaying time this season andshowed she had the skills to playthe position extremely well.”

Millburn also received stellarplay in a reserve capacity off thebench from both Mercadante andPatterson.

“Jenna (Mercadante) did a finejob coming in off the bench andgiving us some depth at the for-ward position,” Buesser said.

“Anna (Patterson) was a back-up defender and gained some valu-able varsity experience in that role,”Buesser said.

A talented group of sophomoresalso played key roles in Millburn’s14-win season.

Fierro recorded 10 shutouts thispast fall, raising her total to 25 injust two seasons, good for third

place on the team’s career list. “Shehas a tremendous knowledge ofthe game and will be counted onheavily next season to anchor thedefense,” Buesser said.

Forward Tara Foley made herfirst season as a starter a produc-tive one. Foley scored a team-high12 goals and assisted on six others.

“Tara moved into a starting for-ward position for us and reallymade an impact,” Buesser said.

Samantha Wiener, a sophomoredefender/midfielder, tallied 10goals, second on the team behindTara Foley, and assisted on fiveothers.

“Samantha was a starting mid-fielder for us this year, sometimesmoving back to defense when thesituation called for it,” Buesser said.

Millburn’s offensive attackreceived a boost from first-yearstarter Erin Jeffers, who scoredeight goals and tallied six assists.

“Erin was a starting midfielderand gave us a very solid perfor-mance,” Buesser said. “With a yearof varsity experience behind her,look for her to become even moreof an offensive threat next season.”

Sophomore Katria Misilo “didan excellent job for us this seasoncoming in off the bench and play-ing either the forward or midfieldpositions,” Buesser said.

“This is a team and a season thatI will never forget and a team thatwill always be close to my heart,”Millburn’s outgoing coach said. “Iwill never forget the great trio ofcaptains I had to work with, theexcitement of winning the confer-ence championship and the defeatof Villa Walsh at home that gaveme my 200th win.

“One of the keys to our successover the years is the way the teamshave become a ‘family.’ This year’steam is no exception and they willbe the one that will hold a specialplace in my heart.”

Math task force to studystate student performance

Acting Gov. Richard J. Codeysigned an executive order Dec. 10establishing a Mathematics TaskForce charged with addressing theneed to improve student perfor-mance in math.

The task force, under the direc-tion of Department of EducationCommissioner William L. Librera,will research and discuss a varietyof math-related topics, rangingfrom teacher preparation andrecruitment to teaching techniquesand student performance.

The new task force’s recom-mendations are due to the actinggovernor by May 1, 2005.

Approximately 30 percent ofstudents in grades four and 11failed the math portion instatewide standardized testing thisyear. The number of eighth gradersfailing totaled about 38 percent.

These numbers, coupled withthe results of the Department ofEducation’s Summer Institute forthe Special Review Assessment,make the Mathematics Task Forceall the more important.

The Summer Institute offered

soon-to-be seniors who failed oneor both parts of the High SchoolProficiency test five weeks of inten-sive tutoring, followed by a retest inAugust.

Of the 215 summer institute stu-dents who retook the math portionof the test, only about 36 percentpassed.

Librera said he expects theMathematics Task Force to fulfill acharge similar to the one carriedout by the Early Literacy TaskForce in 2002. That task forcedeveloped a clear statement of theproblem of low student perfor-mance in reading and writing,gathered and summarized researchand best practices designed toaddress the problem and offeredrecommendations for specificactions at the state level.

The recommendations were lat-er used in a variety of reformsdesigned to improve teacher certi-fication and professional develop-ment, curriculum alignment andeffective instructional techniquesin teaching reading and writing toyoung children.

ilar program at the middle schoolhas stalled.

The board accepted a bid of$112,320 from Rabco MechanicalInc., the lowest of five bidders, forthe high school project.

The new lockers, which will beassembled on site, are half theheight of the present lockers, butare wider.

According to Keith Neigel, prin-cipal of Millburn High School, bythe end of the project, the schoolwill have 2,000 lockers availablefor students. The current 900 lock-ers in the old portion of the build-ing will be replaced by 1,600 newlockers, and 400 lockers arealready in use in the school’s newwing.

Zeglarski told the board a con-tractor who is supposed to begin

installing replacement lockers atthe middle school has yet to deliv-er the lockers. Zeglarski told theboard no money to date has beenpaid to the contractor and the con-tract is likely to be canceled.

The board also approved a$412,300 contract with GDSMechanical Inc. to finish workupgrading the heating system atWyoming School. The workincludes connecting new lines toclassrooms and building shelvingunits in the rooms to house theheating elements. Zeglarski saidthe money for the project comesfrom funds raised by the 1999bond referendum.

Change orders were alsoapproved for additional work atGlenwood School. The existingexterior handrails at the multi-pur-pose room entrance will bereplaced at a cost of $2,460. Anadditional $7,350 was approved torepair cracked cast iron boots and

underground drain lines.During the public comment

portion of the meeting, CypressStreet resident Shirley Reed askedthe board to remove a small stonestructure built near the curb acrossfrom her home. The structure wasoriginally intended as a garbagecollection area and was the subjectof debate between residents andthe board in September.

“Cypress Street is not happywith that little building,” Reed said.

Superintendent of SchoolsRichard Brodow told Reed thestructure is not being used to housegarbage bins, but is needed to storesnow removal equipment.

“It will not be removed,”Brodow said.

During the meeting, members ofthe Wyoming School studentcouncil conducted a partial meet-ing and voted on a number of mat-ters concerning the school’supcoming movie night.

Teacher and adviser TerriSolomon told the audience thecouncil, created two years ago, isthe only one of its kind in the dis-trict elementary schools.

The students vote on an out-reach theme at the beginning of theyear and dedicated this year tochildren in hospitals and burn vic-tims, for whom they raise moneyand write letters.

Board president Mary Litter-man reminded the audience ofthree special meetings scheduledby the board for discussion of long-range planning at the middle andhigh schools.

The meetings, which will beginat 7:30 p.m. at the Education Cen-ter, are scheduled for Tuesday, thefollowing Tuesday, Jan. 25, andMonday, Feb. 7.

“They will be interactiveforums,” Litterman said. “We real-ly are hoping for some ‘give andtake.’”

The American Jewish Commit-tee’s (AJC) Tsunami Relief Fundhas collected more than $450,000to aid in rescue and reconstructionefforts in Southern and SoutheastAsia, as well as East Africa.

AJC has already disbursed near-ly half the funds contributed to thefollowing institutions: the IndianPrime Minister’s National ReliefFund; IsraAid, an Israeli non-gov-ernmental relief operation; JointDistribution Committee; AmericanJewish World Service; Catholic

Relief Services; and Church WorldService.

AJC has also responded to anappeal from the South AfricanJewish Board of Deputies to assistin supporting efforts to locate 400missing South Africans in theaffected region, an estimated one-quarter of whom are from the Jew-ish community.

Mindful of the fact that donorfatigue may soon set in, AJC wantsto have some funds available forthe rebuilding effort—in particular,for schools or hospitals—onceimmediate needs are addressed.

To contribute to AJC’s reliefefforts, donate online via a secureWeb site at www.ajc.org, or send acheck payable to the AJC TsunamiRelief Fund to AJC Tsunami ReliefFund, 165 East 56th St., Eighthfloor, New York, N.Y., 10022.

All donations will be directed totheir intended purpose.

AJC will absorb the administra-tive costs.

Jonathan Grauer helped Jacob andhis friends tally the donations.With all but 19 homeroomsaccounted for, they counted$2,362 in contributions.

That amount rose to nearly$2,700 when 10 more homeroomsturned in their collections Monday,Jacob reported, adding teacherBarbara Tusa’s homeroom, with acontribution of $395, and teacherJohn Yi’s homeroom, with dona-tions of $209, were the top fund-raisers.

“I was moved by Jake,” Grauersaid last week. “I could tell he wassincere.” Grauer made the pointalthough the township is affluent,the students have reacted withunselfish generosity. He added it isnot lost on the students that somesources say half of the people lostin the tragedy were children.

As Jacob’s project winds down,another is gearing up.

Senior class president RachelBrender is working with leaders ofschool clubs and organizations toorganize a community day Satur-day. The students will solicit fundsthroughout the downtown areaand sell T-shirts with a tsunamirelief logo designed by senior Brit-tany Siegal. Senior Michael Kleindesigned the poster being distrib-uted around the township.

Rachel said students at the highschool are proactive. “A lot of peo-ple were coming up to me, andpeople had a ton of ideas, but noone had a venue,” she said.

Guidance counselor NancySiegel and teacher Maria Vazquezagreed to advise the students andapproximately 50 showed up forthe initial meeting. Included weremembers of the Red Cross Club,the Key Club and the studentcouncil, as well as students from

other organizations and from allgrade levels.

“We decided to get together anddo one big thing,” Rachel said.

“The event,” Siegel said, “is aresponse to the significant numberof kids coming in wanting to dosomething.” She added the goal thestudents have set is $10,000.

By the end of last week, morethan 130 students had signed up toparticipate, Rachel said. Besidescreating a logo, students formedinto committees to write letters tothe business community and tomake posters.

The students will work withtownship police Saturday, workingtwo-hour shifts as they solicit fundsin stores, banks and at train sta-tions. T-shirts, which will sell for$15 apiece, will be available fromthe students or at the high school.

Another student, sophomoreDavid Kobray, will join high schoolmusicians from around the regionin a benefit concert to be held Sat-urday, from 1 to 5 p.m. at theMontgomery Center for the Arts inSkillman. David is a member ofYoung Musicians for VolunteerAction, a group formed followingSept. 11 to raise funds for disasterrelief programs. Information on theevent can be found at [email protected].

Fans attending Saturday’s boysbasketball game against WhippanyPark, at 7 p.m. at the high schoolwill be asked to make a donationfor tsunami relief in lieu of anadmissions fee. Collecting fundswill be members of the MillburnHot Shots, the boys basketball pro-gram’s booster club.

All the funds raised by the vari-ous programs are going to differentprograms selected by the students.However, funds first are registeredfor in a student activities account,then dispersed to the chosen char-ity.

Jacob has earmarked his funds

for the International Rescue Com-mittee (IRC). At first, he said hehad considered Doctors WithoutBorders, then saw on the organi-zation’s Web site that it had col-lected sufficient funds for theireffort in Southeast Asia. His rabbirecommended the IRC, Jacob said,and he also saw it mentioned dur-ing a news story on CNN.

“They’ve been distributing everykind of medical relief and generalsupplies since 1999 in Thailand,”Jacob said.

According to Rachel, moneyraised by the students during Sat-urday’s townwide collection willgo to Direct Relief International.

“We felt that it was important tocontribute to an organization thatwill direct our funds to every groupregardless of their different reli-gions or backgrounds,” she said.

The donations collected at thebasketball game are being made toUNICEF, and the Young Musi-cians concert will raise funds forthe American Red Cross.

Neigel said businesses have vol-unteered their services and he isconsidering additional proposalsfrom other students for fund-rais-ers, such as a concert and a dance.Because of space demands at thefacility, he said the events may bepostponed until March or April.

“It’s a good thing the kids aredoing,” he said.

SUCCESSFUL DRIVE—Monica Jackman, Jacob Solomon and Alex Mills count donations Fri-day made to their tsunami relief drive by fellow Millburn High School students as facultyadviser Jonathan Grauer keeps a tally. The three students, along with student Adam Jack-man, not pictured, solicited funds in homerooms last week.

Tsunami relief fraud alertThe FBI is alerting the public to a variety of scams taking place

online involving the solicitation of additional relief funds for the vic-tims of the Dec. 26 tsunami disaster.

The FBI, through the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3),has received reports of Web sites being established purportedly toassist with collection and relief efforts. Complaints submitted to theIC3 have identified several schemes that involve both unsolicitedin-coming emails, known as “Spam,” as well as reports of respons-es to posted e-mail addresses, to assist for a fee in locating lovedones who may have been a victim of the disaster.

A fraudulent relief donation Web site has also been detected con-taining an imbedded Trojan exploit that can infect the user’s com-puter with a virus if accessed.

The FBI, in conjunction with domestic and international lawenforcement and industry partners, takes these actions seriously andis resolved to aggressively pursue those who would attempt to vic-timize philanthropic individuals.

When considering on-line options for providing funding for therelief effort, consumers should consider the following:

Do not respond to any unsolicited, or Spam, incoming e-mails.Be skeptical of individuals claiming to be surviving victims or for-eign government officials asking for help in placing large sums ofmoney in overseas bank accounts.

To ensure that contributions to United States-based nonprofitorganizations are used for intended purposes, go directly to recog-nized charities’ and aid organizations’ Web sites, as opposed to fol-lowing a link to another site. Attempt to verify the legitimacy ofnonprofit organizations by using Internet-based resources that assistin confirming the existence of the organization as well as its non-profit status.

Be leery of e-mails claiming to show pictures of the disaster areasin attached files, as the files may contain viruses. Only open attach-ments from known senders. Several variations of this scam are cur-rently in circulation.

Anyone who has received a suspicious e-mail or who may havebeen a victim of one of the above-listed scams or a similar incidentshould notify the IC3 via the Web site, www.ic3.gov.
