Bus woesInflux of students,lapse in computersblamed for problemsBy ARMANDO DIANAFOCUS CORRESPONDENT

FRANKLIN - An influx of newstudents, a number of "baby-sitter" requests, and an inexpli-cable lapse in a computer trans-portation program was part ofwhat led to a host of problems ingetting students to their respectiveschools on time during the firstweek of school.

Trap Rock Quarry could be future reservoir

Board president Eva Nagy for-

mally thanked Mr. Pepe and his

(Continued from page 1)that the site was considered thebest option because of its proxim-ity to the Delaware and RaritanCanal and to the Millstone River.

Water, he said, could be easilymoved into the reservoir. In addi-tion, he pointed out, the site isgood from an environmental per-spective.

"We're not dealing with an un-disturbed forest area," he said.

Mr. Van Abs said the quarry islike a big hole and once the site isquarried out, water could bedropped in to form a reservoir.

Mr. Van Abs met with the boardto explain a report entitled"Water for the 21st Century. TheVital Resource," released by theDEP earlier this week.

The report proposes the cre-ation of a reservoir on the TrapRock Quarry site that would con-tribute 65 million gallons of watera day to the Raritan River water-shed. It would cost about $57 mil-lion for the state to complete theproject, Mr. Van Abs said.

According to a 1990 report, thewatershed has a demand of about118 million gallons a day. TheTrap Rock reservoir would be

used during "low flow times," Mr.Van Abs said.

"It would be used when we havea drought," Mr. Van Abs said.

However, he said there probablywouldn't be a need for the reser-voir for "maybe another 30 to 50years."

"It depends on how develop-ment goes and how demands in-crease. Construction is a timeaway from now," Mr. Van Abssaid.

The DEP is planning to talkwith Trap Rock officials aboutpurchasing the site Mr. Van Abssaid once Trap Rock completes itsoperations on a portion of the site,it could be purchased. The con-struction of the project would bebased on an increase in demand.

He said it would probably bebuilt in two phases over a periodof years as the quarry is minedout

"Essentially right now, it's anactive quarry. We're going to betalking with Trap Rock about theidea of finishing their quarrying intwo phases. The reservoir isn'tneeded all at once and it can bedone in two phases," Mr. Van Abssaid.

He said at some point the prop-erty would be sold to the NJ.Water Supply Authority and thereservoir would be developed.

However, he added, there is stillsome ownership issues to be re-solved. The state, he said, isn'tsure if Trap Rock wants to sell theland.

While the state theoreticallycould condemn the properly, Mr.Van Abs said that would be highlyunlikely.

If a deal cannot be worked out,the state would recommend con-struction of a $71 million pumpingstation at the junction of theNorth and South branches of theRaritan River where it wouldtransfer water to Round ValleyReservoir in Clinton Township,according to the report

The water pumped into Round

Valley would be used in drought

conditions as well.

Asked about the reservoir's rec-

reational potential, Mr. Van Abs

said the steepness of the quarry

and varying water levels would

make it difficult for recreational

use.

However, he said the possibility

has not been eliminated.

"We havent focused on the rec-

reational use of the site; we've fo-

cused on it as a water supply," Mr.

Van Abs said.

He added that it isn't impossible

- it just hasn't been explored yet

Township asking DOTto fund $1.45M guardrailBy ARMANDO DIANAFOCUS CORRESPONDENT

FRANKLIN - In a draft reportto the state, township officials arerequesting the Department ofTransportation pay for a mandatedguardrail system to be installedalong Canal and Weston Canalroads. The system is expected tocost $1.45 million.

According to Township ManagerJohn Lovell, the report requeststhe state pay for the guardrail sys-tem through Department of Trans-portation grants. Mr. Lovell wasunsure when the report would besent to the state or when a finaldecision would be rendered.

"I would love to have the stateDOT fund this project" Mr. Lovellsaid.

In May, the state Delaware andRaritan Canal Commission dis-cussed different ways to fund theproject along the thoroughfaresand how the money will be ap-propriated. .

According to Carolyn Schwartz,of the Delaware and Raritan Canal

Commission, the committee ex-plored the possibility of gettingfunds to install the guardrails froma local aid program but leave themaintenance of the guardrails tothe municipality. According to Mr.Lovell, there are certain funds thatalready exist that can be ap-propriated.

Mr. Lovell said the township isresponsible for installing the $50-per-linear-square-foot wood lami-nate guardrail system along the29,000 feet of exposed canal thatruns parallel to those roads. Hesaid a rustrcolored guardrail sys-tem costs $l&-$20 installed perfoot, or $522,0004580,000.

In May, Mr. Lovell said the com-mission chose the wood laminateguardrail system for aesthetic pur-poses.' He said the Delaware andRaritan Canal Commission initiallyopposed the erection of the guard-rails but changed its position whenthe Delaware and Raritan CanalSafety Study Commission recom-mended guardrails be erected.

Earlier this year, Mayor RichardTornquist said the township was

not obligated to use the wood lami-nate guardrails, but out of courtesyto the state and commission thetownship would oblige. Mr. Lovelladded the township must alsomeet federal engineering stand-ards when installing the guard-rails.

Mr. Lovell said he has beensearching for alternate ways tofund the program because thetownship is "the hardest hit mu-nicipality in the state." Accordingto Mr. Lovell, the Delaware andRaritan Canal '•practically sur-round the township other than theRoute 27 corridor."

According to township officials,,the stretch of roadway is prone to"black ice" in the winter that cre-ates hazardous conditions alongthe roadways. The site has beenthe scene of numerous accidentsover the past few years with ve-hicles ending up in the canal.There is no set timetable for workto begin on the project

Culling deer in Somersetmet with lukewarm responseBy BARBARA MENDOZAFOCUS CORRESPONDENT

However, Ms. Post said the problem is growingand this is not a rare occurrence.

She suggested the township allow some kind ofbow and arrow hunting to help alleviate the prob-lem.

However, Township Manager John Lovell said

FRANKLIN - While culling has been used insome municipalities as a way to reduce explodingdeer populations, it would not be wise to allowselective hunting in the MacAfee Road area, town-ship officials said at a recent meeting.

Board nixes Sunset Hills sewer servicesaid a survey

FOCUS COBSESPONDEKT

FRANKLIN - After nine months of con-troversy, the Planning Board at a recentmeeting cieiued by a vote of 4-3 the Sewer-age Authority's request fcr a waiver of siteplan to extend service to the Sunset HiDshousing development

"I dont see an'immediate health hazardpresent," said board member John Casale ashe voted against extending sewer service.

Mayor Richard Tomquist, along withboard member Leonard Messineo andChairman George Kozar, echoed Mr.Casale's sentiment in voting against themeasure Board members Rocky Lee, JaneJuzwiak, and James Hunter favored extend-ing the service.

The Sewerage Authority is unanimous inits opinion that this is an area that shouldbe sewered," said Daniel lime, attorney forthe Sewerage Authority.

Mr. lime pointed to a survey conductedby the Sewerage Authority that indicated 68percent of Sunset Hills residents favoredreceiving sewer service. In addition, Mr.lime said, the area is suffering from failingseptic systems and characterised the area asa "potential time bomb."

But Health Inspector Walter Galanowsky

ducted by his

sample aae. Oily 29 of the 92 homeownersresponded to a Health Department surveyand of the 23 wells that were tested, seven

The seven wells tested positive for colif-orm bacteria and three tested positive forthe E-coli bacteria. According to Mr. Ga-lanowsky, the E-coli bacteria may havecome from human fecal matter.

There is no public health emergency atthis time," Mr. Galanowsky said.

"If you [Planning Board] wait for a healthhazard to exist, the Sewerage Authority maynot be in a position to sewer this area," Mr.Tiny

According to Mr. lime, the Sewerage Au-thority is operating at a deficit However, inMarch, Mr. lime said the Sewerage Au-thority planned to finance the Sunset Hillssewer extension through a $2 million sur-plus that came as a result of leftover userconnection fees from the 1980s.

"Is it prudent for the Sewerage Authorityto sewer an area when you're running adeficit?" Mr. Casale asked.

That's our problem and not this board's,"Mr. lime angrily replied.

Mr. lime also contended the area nolonger conforms to state Department of En-

vironmental Protection CDEP) standardsthat call for homes on lots less than acre tobe connected to sewers. Most tot sizes in theSunset Hills area are on less than one acrelots. According to Mr. lime, the DEP set thestandards to avoid having septic systems indose proximity to wells.

But Mr. Galanowsky said the Sunset Hillsarea has been grandfathered and thereforecomplies with the DEP new regulation.However, Mr. Galanowsky said the situation"underscores the importance of testingwells annually."

About 10 residents from the Sunset Hillsarea were upset with the decision, many ofthem shouting at board members after thevote.

"We didn't get a fair shake," yelled RobertDuell. The public didn't get a chance tospeak."

Mr. Duell claimed the public never hadinput into the process, but Mr. Kozar ex-plained the public spoke during the publichearing in March. Mr. Duell and other resi-dents kept veiling they didnt have a chanceto speak and threatened "to remember thiscome election time."

Board Attorney William Cooper said it'snot in the rules for the public to have an-other chance to speak after the "public por-tion of the hearing has been dosed. Ac-

cording to Planning Bond meeting min-utes, eight members of the public spokeduring the public portion part of the hearingin March.

In addition, Planning Board members arenot elected to the board, they are selectedby the Township CoundL

The on-going cotitroversy revolves aroundwhether residents in the area need to connect into the sewer system because of failing septic systems. Planning Board mem-bers were skeptical of the original SewerageAuthority's postcard survey indicating that90 percent of the residents wanted sewers.

Board members were equally skeptical ofa second Sewerage Authority survey indi-cating 68 percent of the residents wantedsewers. In addition, some residents havebalked at the approximate $3,000 it will taketo connect to the sewer.

According to Mayor Tornquist, at least 26residents do not want to pay the one time

tion tee of $1,400, the tie-in fee ofconnectabout $300 and the annual user fee of $160.These residents would have been forced toconnect to the sewer.

After the meeting, Mr. lime said he willadvise the Sewerage Authority to either pur-sue the matter in court, appeal to the DEPor accept the Planning Board decision.

FOCUS CORRESPONDENT

FRANKLIN — Paul and NancyGoldberg, owners of UFO HairCompany, have been giving to thecommunity since opening theirbusiness in 1078.

For this, the township couplewill receive the Chamber of Com-merce's Man and Woman of theYear award during an awards cer-emony 6:30 pm, Thuesday, Oct 5at MacAteer's on Easton Avenue.

The tour, Mr. Goldberg said,helps to raise money for the FoodBank which provides food for resi-dents in need on a regular basis.

"The Franklin Township FoodBank is very dear to us," Mr. Gold-berg said.

Despite being honored by sev-eral local organizations, the couplesaid they are not out for recogni-tion. In fact, it sometimes makesthem uncomfortable.

"It's not something we're look-ing for. I would do it without therecognition. We feel awkward butwe appreciate it," Mr. Goldberg,said adding his wife of 30 years,who works alongside of him on adaily basis, feels the same way.

Mr. and Mrs. Goldberg will notbe the only recipients of Chamberawards. The Chamber of Com-merce is set to recognize othercommunity members for theirdedicated service.

CommentaryImage countsAs Franklin learns to like itself,opinions of others will also change

As with any type of improvement initiative, the real changehas to come within. In Franklin, this has already occuied al-though not too many people realize it

The Board of Education at a recent meeting talked aboutJoining the Township Council in forming a task force to helpimprove the township's so-called negative image. It seems yearsof having school riots and other juvenile problems and allegedpolice misbehavior being published in the various media hastaken its toll on how people think and feel about the township.

Board President Eva Nagy said she was particularly concernedbecause of the negative way in which people seem to view theschool system. SAT scores published in Realtor's books which goto prospective buyers showing Franklin's students at the bottomof the scale dont feirly reflect the reality of Irving in Franklin.

What is that reality? Well, you can get onto a major highwaypretty easily in Franklin and that highway will connect youquickly with other roads that will take you to nearby cities andcultural events and supermarkets and malls and concerts. Pris-tine scenery along Canal Road, sprawling farmland and parksgive way to neighborhoods where people live and laugh andraise their children. It has nine schools with teachers dedicatedto giving children the best education possible, the Villagers The-atre, Colonial Park with its fragrant rose garden that drawspeople from near and far, golf courses, hotels with swimmingpools and nice restaurants — and other nice restaurants thataren't in hotels — historic houses, historic villages, MarconiPark, plenty of recreational activities and monthly events at theGarden State Exhibit Center — including fund-raising dinnersfor past, present and futureC?) presidents of the United States —prize-fighting at the Ukrainian Center, a yearly RenaissanceFestival, Easter egg hunts, pumpkin patch festivals, OperationCooperation Day, Revolutionary War encampments, a champion-ship high school football team and a marching band that haswon its share Of honors, visits from Sinter Klaas... Whewi

So what still needs to be done? Nothing except more of whitalready has occurred, which is the best part of Franklin. Thechange toward the better has already happened within the town-ship. A jointure between the school board and Township Councilwill only help to get the message out

room for industrial development,'Mr. Driver said

"I would like to have muchmore industrial than we have," re-sponded board member BockyLee, who represents the PlanningBoard on the EDC. "But we needto have a balance."

Mr. Lee said the EDC is lookingto attract more small businesses tothe township through conformityin zoning.

At issue is where the industrialzone is proposed to end Mr. Driv-er favors the industrial zone con-tinuing south of SchoolhouseRoad, but the EDC stops the zonenorth of the thoroughfare. Plan-ning Board Director Ellen Ritchiesaid the committee felt if the in-dustrial zone stretched farthersouth, it will bring commercialtraffic too close to residentialhomes.

"I don't want to encourage anymore residential development,"Mayor Richard Tomquist said "Ifavor having the industrial go fur-ther soiith of Schoolhouse Road"

Board members had a generaldiscussion on the township's mas-ter plan pertaining to the merits ofproposing the zone changes.

Mr. Lee presented the EDC planwhich also proposes establishing asenior retirement village near theZarephath area.

"Not too many municipalitieshave this [a senior retirement vil-lage zone],'' Mr. Lee said

Mr. lee said the EDC chose thecanal area for the senior retire-ment village because of its scenicbeauty. He also said very limitedcommercial development will beallowed in the proposed zone ex-cept for those enterprises that willmake living in the area convenientfor seniors.

However, Mr. Lee said, retailoutlets like a pharmacy, barbershop and a convenience store

would be permitted in the zone."You want to make it as conve-

nient as possible for the seniors,"Mr. Lee said

According to Mr. Lee, the seniorretirement village zone will requirea minimum land tract of 175 acresIdeally, Mr. Lee suggested an ap-proximate total of 483 acres to berezoned to RR-3 (rural residential)RRr3 zoning allows for one hous-ing unit per three acres.

He said the senior retirementvillage is prqjected to have a posi-tive impact on the tax base whilenot straining the township's infra-structure. According to Mr. Lee,senior citizens moving into thetownship will not bring childreninto the school system and don'tcreate much vehicular traffic.

The EDC also recommended theCanal Preservation (CP) zone beextended north of East Millstoneand include about 599 additionalacres. In the early 1980s, the CPzone was created to protect theareas around the Delaware andRaritan Canal from East Millstonesouth through Kingston in thesouthern end of the township. CPzoning calls for one housing unitper six or more acres and placesrestrictions on building near the

According to Mr. Lee, the EDCrecommends the completion ofSchoolhouse Road in order to re-vive industrial and corporate de-velopment Mr. Lee said a specialassessment will be charged to arearesidents to fund the extension.

The EDC also recommended as-signing dose to 480 acres for Mlzoning which is for light industrial.Twenty to 25 percent of this zonewill be comprised of the Elizabethtown Water Treatment plant Inaddition, the committee suggestedsetting aside about. 70 acres for apark area.

FRANKLIN - The PlanningBoard's recent unanimous ap-proval of a minor subdivision willremedy a 47-year violation of twodwellings on one building lot

When applicant Michael Sudiaapplied for a minor subdivision ofthe tract on which he now lives, helearned a bungalow at the cornerof his lot has been illegally en-croaching on the adjoining prop-erty line.

Raymond Holmes, a surveyorand the applicant's representative,said no one had measured the ac-tual property line since 1947. Hesaid Mr. Sudia followed the mark-

ings at opposite ends of his site todetermine the property line.

"I've been doing this [real estatesurveying] a long time and havenever seen a situation where ahouse straddles the property linelike this," Mr. Holmes said.

Mr. Sudia told Planning Boardmembers he wanted to subdividehis property so he can bequeathportions of it to his two children.In addition, Mr. Sudia said hewanted the ability to sell a parcelof land should he or his wife needextra money during their re-tirement years.

"I want to give one piece to myson and the other to my daughtersome time in the future" Mr.Sudia said, "but in case me or my

wife need money in the future, 111sell one lot"

But two of Mr. Sudia's neighborscomplained he is currently run-ning a business in a pole barnerected on the property in 1994.The neighbors fear the subdivisionwill only lead to more businessbeing conducted on the propertyand doubted the property was lastsurveyed in 1947.

"At one point in time, that bun-galow had to be built, whichmeans someone had to go for apermit and the property had to besurveyed," Eric Hoffer said. ,

Mr. Hoffer charged that the Su-dias have "all kinds of equipment"in the pole barn and will continueto run a business out of the over-

sized structure. John Sudia, theapplicant's son, said the pole barnis oversized to store bales of hay ina loft and house a tractor. The Su-dias maintain a sheep farm on theproperty.

The younger Sudia acknowl-edged he parks his van in the polebam but said the major use of thepole barn is for equipment, in-cluding a tractor, for the sheepfarm. Mr. Sudia is an electrician.

"We've never seen a tractor,"shouted one neighbor from the au-dience.

Mr. Sudia then offered to givethe neighbors a guided tour of thepole barn. The elder Sudia said thepole barn is oversized because hewants to partition the structure so

the family can keep their fivesheep in the bam during wintermonths.

In addition to the Ford tractor,Mr. Sudia said the pole bam alsoincludes a snow plow, two vans,and a 1968 Pontiac that will even-tually be restored. The remainingspace is used for equipment per-taining to the sheep farm.

"The position of me and myneighbors is we are vehementlyopposed to subdividing this prop-erty," Mr. Hoffer said.

Despite these protests, the boardapproved the application, whichcalled for subdividing a 108,000-square-foot tract into two unequaltracts. One parcel will be 67,900square feet and the other will be40,100 square feet

FTEA creates 'positive' school packet for Realtors• y ARMANDO HANAFOCUS CORRESPONDENT

FRANKLIN - In an effort tocombat what it claims is negativeinformation given out to pro-spective property buyert, the Fran-klin Township Education As-sociation is preparing a packagefocusing on the positive aspects ofthe school system to be handedout to local real estate agents.

Over the past four years, schoolboard officials have continuallycomplained residential real estateagents badmouth Franklin to pro-spective buyers. They charge thatreal estate agents are discouragingpotential buyers from moving intothe township by pointing to lowSAT scores as a reason to avoidmoving to Franklin.

But of the more than 20 residen-tial real agents in Franklin, Piscat-away, East Brunswick, New Brun-swick and Bound Brook queriedon the subject, not one residentialreal estate agent positioned Frank-lin Township negatively.

Still, Chet Varner, president ofthe Franklin Township EducationAssociation, maintains residentialreal estate agents speak poorly ofFranklin during kaffee klatschesand informal gatherings at whichthey discuss selling homes in. vari-ous areas.

Mr. Varner claims real estateagents position the school systemnegatively by publishing SATscores for area towns without ex-planation.

To combat this, Mr. Vamer, inconjunction with David Leahy ofCentury 21 Real Estate, has under-taken the design and implementa-tion of a package for real estateagents to hand to prospective buy-ere. The package will indud^among other things, informationon Franklin High SchooL

"Soon they'll be no excuse forreal estate agents not to talk aboutFranklin," he said. "People are in-terpreting the low SAT scores inFranklin to mean that the schoolsystem is poor."

According to Mr. Varner, Kdoco-

tion Quarterly, a magazine used byreal estate agents that covers Cen-tral New Jersey and parts of Penn-sylvania, ranks Franklin Townshipwfftl npighhnririg mnwiripriittea hySAT scores. The spring issue ofthe magazine lists Franklin Town-ship fourth from the bottom aheadof the New Brunswick, Trenton,and Burlington school districts.

But the periodical doesn't tellthe whole story, according to Mr.Varner. The magazine neglects topoint out that in most school dis-tricts that score high on the SATS,only a handful of the students —most in honors curriculum — takethe test, Mr. Vamer said He indi-cated that 83 percent of Franklinstudents take the SAT which sta-tistically lowers test scores and, incomparison with a school districtwhose tested population is madeup of academic elites, doesnt lookgood.

The image problem seems tostem from the race riots that oc-curred in the late 1960s and put "amark on the town," accordingcommercial real estate agents. Asone commercial agent, who want-ed to remain anonymous, said, thetownship has been "suffering froman image problem for more than30 years."

In a phone interview last month,Mayor Richard Tornquist, who wasa police officer in the townshipduring the late 1960s, said Frank-lin Township wasnt the only townin the area dealing with the riots.He pointed to towns like Plainfieldand Newark who "were muchworse than we were."

"Most towns never get over it[civil d|Mlj<'jfl>rK'*»g] bfifflusg peoplealways live in the past," he said

The mayor also pointed to dis-turbances in the early 1970s whenthe high school first started play-ing sports. He said certain rivalrieswith area schools "got a little outof hand," which led to more badpublicity. But he said those daysare gone and, in general, therehavent been "bad disturbances" inthe schools.

Tips for easy fall cleanupHomo hnprovontont

Burning piles of leaves have become athing of the past And so have piles of curb-side garbage bags stuffed with leaves,thanks to state and city legislation prohibit-ing homeowners from sending leaves andgrass clippings to landfills.

Although the problem of what to do withfall leaves simply tent going to blow away,there are some simple solutions.

First, grass cuppings and finely choppedleaves can be left on your lawn. In fact, theyactually fertilize the soil That means home-owners dont always need to bag fallenleaves, especially if they use their lawnmow-ers as leaf shredders.

The key to replacing your rake with yourlawnmower is to finely shred the clippingsand spread them evenly over the lawn.Chopped up leaves that cover no more than

one-half the grass blade do not pose a prob-lem. If you cannot see the grass underneaththe shredded leaves, you'll need to mow thelawn a second time.

For the most effective leaf recycling, con-sider using a mower designed especially forchopping leaves and grass clippings intotiny pieces.

New generation mowers feature speciallydesigned blades and deflectors to cut grassclippings and leaves over and over untilthey fall beneath the surface of the grass.An accelerator blade feature creates airpressure, which injects the chopped upleaves and clippings down into the groundwhere they are most beneficial.

Some mowers are designed for easy useand conversion from mulching to baggingto side discharge, without tools.

Field hockey teamneeds a jump startBy JOSEPH W.SAMULKATHE FOCUS

Although the Franklin HighSchool field hockey defense hasthe ability to keep the Warriors inthe game, victories will beachieved by how well the offenseperforms.

Pat Weinert, now in her 28thyear as the Warriors' coach, will doeverything in her ability to assisther offense along.

"We'll try to be in an offensive: mode, stacking it up as much as1 we can. We have a good defensethat will be able to hold their, ownso there will be an emphasis onscoring with ball control,''she said

Unfortunately for Franklin, itsj strategy hasn't worked yet The{ Warriors are 0-3 after losing theirlatest game to Warren Hills 7-1Tuesday.

The team leaders are Kay Sick-afoose and Sharon Boston, theWarriors' leading scorers from ayear ago.

"If either one of them goesdown, we have no depth," Weinert

said. "We'll look for Kay for lead-ership on the squad like a quarter-back in football and well rely onBoston's speed and her stickworkto get the ball up field"

In 1993 the Warriors were 1-15but improved to 5-13 last year.They'll try to keep improving de-spite the fact that they have just11 varsity players on the rosterand only a few seniors on thesquad.

There's a new attitude in town.The Franklin High School boys cross

country team, which has not been consid-ered one of the superior programs in theSkyland Conference of late, is hoping togain respect

"As much as anything else, we can winone or even three or four meets. The key isto establish ourselves early," said Jim Ma-cLuskie, who's entering his fifth year asWarriors' coach.

| "Our goal is to lift our program to respect-ability," he added "I dont think we wererespectable last year. We were doormats ofthe Skyland Conference-Delaware Divisionand I want to change that I want the atitrfetes to change that"

Last season was one to forget as Franklin

registered just two victories. However, therewere a variety of reasons for the less-than-stellar performance.

"We've been fair the past few years, to behonest" said MacLuskie, who teaches socialstudies at Piscataway High School. "Ourproblem is that we're in a tough league andwe had some mid-season defections. Wehad a few kids leave the team but I thinkwe're more mature and ready to competenow. I think we can get a good group ofseven that can run welL"

Even before the season starts it appearsFranklin has achieved a victory of sorts asthe Warriors have a relatively high numberof runners on the roster in comparison toyears past

"We have 13 kids and that's not bad forthe start of the season. We have only onefreshman but I think we can get up to 20 ifwe get more freshmen. If we do, it will be

the best turnout in five or six years," Ma-cLuskie said. "Our freshmen usually comelate because the information never seems toget to them — the summer is a bad time.Still, we have some of the upperclassmenon the team going around trying to recruitnew runners."

The senior leader of the team is LeeHome, who was consistently under 18 min-utes last year. He's also recorded times inthe mid-17s at the Franklin home course.

"In our county and conference he's beenin the top 25 and is expected to be better.But how much better, I'm not sure," Ma-cLuskie said. "So far in practice he looksvery strong."

Obviously the main objective in crosscountry is to run fast but MacLuskie be-lieves there's more to being a successfulrunner than possessing sheer speed.

"We've concentrated on conditioning andhave added a variety of strength work," thecoach said. "My object is to get them strongbefore fast"

The Warriors were scheduled to open theseason yesterday in a crossover meet at Del-aware Valley Regional in Frenchtown at 4pjtn. Of the seven teams slated to race, theWarriors scored against three — SouthHunterdon, Montgomery and DelVaL

It's become harder and harderfor the Warriors to exceed theachievements of a year ago, exceptmaybe registering a perfect sea-son. Saturday at Franklin's GeorgeL. Ackerman field, the Warriorswill take their first step in ac-complishing the feat as they hostWarren Hills at 1 p.m.

Some lolly expectations will bebestowed upon this year's seniorclass, which Goerge favorablycompares to last year's graduatedseniors.

"I've been pleased with our se-niors — they're similar to lastyear's class. They have characterand are excellent leaders. They'vebeen working hard from the be-ginning of practice into the be-ginning of game week," Goergesaid.

In gazing upon the Warriors'1995 roster, one can't help but no-tice that bulk and size won't be thetrademarks of this year's group.But that wasn't the case last year,either, and they were just fourpoints away from recording an un-defeated season.

No one better illustrates the factthat size doesn't necessarily matterin high school football than quar-terback John Simeone, a 5-foot-7,150-pound senior who threw for1561 yards and 16 touchdowns lastyear in the run-and-shoot offense.

"John is a leader on and off thefield. He's a hard-worker," said Go-erge. "He's not small - he's shortHe's the kind of guy that makeshigh school football different andspecial. You can still be 5-7, 150and not only play, but play welLBut as you move on, the talenttakes over."

"He's an outstanding athlete anda talented receiver," said Goerge."He's got the package — tremen-dous leaping ability, speed andoutstanding hands."

Brown, a heavily-recruited Di-vision I college prospect who hasthe ability to play collegiately as awideout, has also generated inter-est from his defensive end posi-tion.

"They (college scouts) think hecan be 220 and a good linebacker,"Goerge said.

The team's premier slot receiverwill be senior Chris Jordan (5-7,150), who totaled 15 receptions for290 yards and two IDs in '94.

"The thing that makes him what

he is is his unbelievable quicknessand his pair of hands," the War-riors coach said

Also seeing action at the slot re-.ceiver spot are seniors Daryl Phills(5-9,160) and Mark Solomon (5-10,165), junior Deandre Styles (5-8,150) and sophomore Nick Solomon(5-8,165).

Senior fullback Bobby Baltrop(5-11, 190) and junior tailback Ry-heen Lockhart (6-0, 205) will han-dle the bulk of the running chores.

The offensive line will be led byreturning starters Paul Day (6-0,240 senior) and Daryn Plummer(6-2, 210 junior) and first-yearstarters Emory Peteet (6-0, 230sophomore), Tyrone Triggs (6-1,280 senior) and Jan Handeland (6-2.195).

(XT

Once again, the Warriors' de-fense will play the 44.

"I think defensively our strengthwill be our ability to tun to theball," said Goerge.

The defensive line will includeHandeland, junior Don Sargent (6-2, 200), middle guard Plummerand tackle Lockhart The insidelinebackers are seniors Baltrop —who led FHS in tackles last year —and Jason Jennings (5-9, 180) andthe outside linebackers Nick So-lomon and junior Marlon Boston(5-9,155).

The secondary will include cor-nerbacks Mark Solomon andPhills and junior safety DeandreStyles (5-8, 150) and senior safetyAlon Jackson (5-8, 148). Rod Sow-ell will do the punting and kicking.

Continued pressure by Franklinmidfielders Matt Bills and AndrewHobbs and wings Justin Burtonand Ryan Marosy kept Parsippanydeep in its end of the field all day.

Outstanding defense by theFighters' fullbacks Jeffrey Key andMichael Nemes, halfbacks KwameBrady and B. J. Hunt and stopper-sweeper Alex Torres and KevinIightfoot, kept the pressure offkeeper David Casper. The lone

first half score came on a penaltykick by Bills.

The second half was a carboncopy of the first as midfielders Cal-vin Simmons and Jason Martellkept the ball in Parsipanny terri-tory. Early in the second half, Billscrossed a pass to right wing RyanMarosy who blasted a shot into theupper left hand comer of the netfor a 2-0 score. Minutes laterIightfoot dribbled from deep inthe Franklin end to midfieldwhere she crossed a perfectlyplaced ball to left wing Justin Bur-ton who hit nothing but net for the3-0 lead

Casper stopped the Falcons' onlythreats — three corner kick opportunities — by leaping high inthe air to intercept the ball, pre-serving the shutout
