School board outlines budgetOfficials say new state

cap law could be troubleBY MELISSA CIFEI.LISlalTWrikT

T he South Brunswick Board ofEducation held its first budgetmeeting Tuesday, outlining the

fiscal plan and proposals for the 2005-06school year.

Citing increased enrollment, theneed for expansion, the No Child LeftBehind legislation and the constraints ofnew state school caps law S.1701, boardmembers expressed the difficulty andnecessity for creating a working budgetthat meets students needs while notoverburdening taxpayers.

Schools Superintendent Dr. Gary Mc-Cartney said a school budget was differ-ent than a typical expenditure plan. Theschool budget, according to McCartney, isdesigned to build the future, and sends amessage about what the town values:

Those values and messages, McCartneysaid, are transferred to students.

Board members have to factor in pro-viding the funding necessary to ensurestudents succeed, McCartney said.

"There is no one-size-fits-all,"approach to creating the budget,McCartney said.

Both the interests of education andthose of the. taxpayers, according toMcCartney, must be met.

"We need to build a budget whereboth parties feel they have been valued,"McCartney said.

McCartney also said the public aswell as the board must recognize the dif-ferences between "nice to have" and"need to have" for South Brunswick stu-dents.

"Budgets are about 'need to have'things," McCartney said.

Keeping those elements as a phi-losophy, according to McCartney, theboard can justify a budget that meetsboth student and taxpayer needs.

Take two: Twp.Council rezonesPulda farm again

Move made as precautionin light of legal challenge

BY JENNIFER KOHLHEPPStaff Writer

I t happened all over again. Despite a debatethat lasted until midnight on Monday, theTownship Council again rezoned the Pulda

farm off Old Georges Road for the development ofan age-restricted community.

Council members voted 4-1 in favor of chang-ing the 70-acre tract's designation from residen-tial (R-l) to planned adult community (PAC) afterreintroducing an ordinance it passed with a 4-2vote in August.

Councilman Sal Paladino did not vote on thematter this week, as he left the meeting early,Councilman Robert Corbin voted against themeasure again. He and former Councilman AdamWeiss were the dissenters last time.

The council reintroduced the PAC ordinanceafter it became subject to litigation in September,when North Brunswick Residents Against HighDensity Housing (NBR), a grassroots organi-zation aiming to stop development on the Puldafarm, sued the council and Planning Board overit.

"I urged the council to bring the matter backbefore the governing body because the lawsuitalleged procedural defects," Township AttorneyRon Gordon said. "In the interest of good govern-ment, if people think they didn't have the oppor-tunity to be heard, they're getting it with thereintroduction."

NBR's lawsuit alleges procedural defects withregard to how the council and board advertisedthe PAC ordinance the first time.

The suit aims to negate the PAC ordinanceand the rezoning of the land. If township officialscannot find a way to prevent any development onthe farm, NBR members want the land's zoningto remain R-l for the development of single-fam-ily homes on 20,000-square-foot lots.

The R-l zoning would allow for the construc-tion of approximately 90 homes, whereas the PACordinance allots for the development of a housingcommunity consisting of a mix of 340 units,including single-family homes, townhouses andcondominium flats for those age 55 and over.

Citing continuing traffic concerns along Route130, environmental issues concerning the farmand its border on Farrington Lake, a potabledrinking source for North Brunswick and nearbymunicipalities, lack of open space in the town-ship, and overall aesthetics — residents andother concerned citizens came out again thisweek to speak out about developing the town-ship's last large tract of open space.

NBR member Ben Galioto said despite theordinance's readoption, the group plans to contin-ue to challenge the rezoning in state SuperiorCourt.

Michele Donato, NBR's attorney, said sheexpects to file an amended complaint this monthchallenging the PAC ordinance's density bonuses.

Under the provisions of the ordinance, a devel-oper gains additional density by contributing

Brazilian flavor comes toBaig9s Grill, Route 1,offers unique array ofoptions for meat lovers

BY .JENNIFER KOHLHEPPStaff Writer

NORTH BEUNSWICK - For all-you-can-eat meat served off a skewer, try thetownship's new churrasqueria.

The new Brazilian-inspired restaurant,Baig's Grill, located at 776 Route 1 in theBrunswick Zone center, serves flamingbarbecue meats off a sword-sized spike anddelectables to suit almost any palate.

"In Brazil, the style of skewer-grilledmeat is called churrasco, and a steakhouseserving it is a churrasqueria," owner MirzaM. Baig Jr. said. "The meats are broughtout on the table on the skewer and carveddirectly onto your plate."

The grill's specialty, all-you-can-eatgrilled meats for $18.99, comes served hotoff the restaurant's Brazilian-style grillcalled a rodizio.

A window at the back of the restaurant'sdining room looks into the kitchen wherelava rocks heat the slowly turning skew-ered meats.

"Because the meats keep rotating asthey cook, anyone enjoying the rodizio en-tree enjoys a rotation of a vast variety ofmouth-watering, tender and perfectly mar-inated flaming grilled meats," Baig said.

Those 'who choose the all-you-can-eatentree can try 12 differently marinatedmeats, including top sirloin steak, shishkabob, marinated chicken, ground meatand salmon. The entree comes with ahouse salad, Turkish bread, french friesand a gyro.

In addition to rodizio, there are otheritems to satisfy customers' tastes and ap-petites, Baig said.

Entrees range in price from $9.99 to$13.99 and include meals such as roastedtomato and basil braised salmon, kabobsand beef short ribs with a choice of rice,fries or sauteed vegetable medley.

For lunch, or those with smaller ap-petites, Baig's offers five different sand-wiches ranging in price from $4.99 to$7.25. Sandwiches, which come withfrench fries, include a vegetable wrap,zesty chicken sandwich, steak sandwich,gyro or a fish sandwich,

To complement any meal, Baig's offerscustom salads and appetizers, includingmozzarella sticks, Caribbean chicken que-sadillas, blue water crab cakes and hum-mus. To complete a meal, the restauranthas desserts such as Baig's Paradise, ahouse specialty of roasted coconut, choco-late and ice cream.

Baig's motto for his new restaurant is,"We don't just serve food, we sei-ve our cus-tomers "

The North Brunswick resident openedthe grill's doors Nov. 14. Baig said he fash-ioned the Brazilian/Mediterranean restau-rant after he tried similar cuisine onBroadway in New York City.

"It was heaven for a meat lover whenthe server at the restaurant brought me allof this meat to eat off a skewer," Baig said."My restaurant imitates that, but the foodcosts much less than $45 per serving andthe meats are more flavorful."

Although Baig has an engineering ca-reer, he said owning a restaurant has re-mained a lifelong, dream of his.

"I used to tell my parents that when Igrew up I would own a restaurant," Baigsaid. "I got my education and two degrees,and after I did all they wanted me to do, Iknew it was time."

Baig said his father, Mirza M. Baig Sr.,designed the restaurant The atmospheresuits both casual and formal dining withTucson beige-col-ored walls, flankedwith floor to ceilingmirrors and pas-toral artwork. Thelow-lit dining roomseats 80 in dark-wood, cross-backchairs and large ta-bles suited for theunique servingtechniques of thespecially trainedwaiting staff.

After living inNorth Brunswickfor the last threeyears and gettingto know the com-munity, Baig knewit would be theplace to fulfill hisdream.

"Even the first few weeks have beengreat," Baig said. "I have always want-ed to be the kind of person that servesothers, makes them happy, gives themwhat they want and so far the feedbackhas been wonderful."

For the time being, the grill opens onweekdays at 5 p.m. and serves dinner to10 p.m. On the weekend, Baig's opensat noon and serves to 11 p.m. onSaturday and 10 p.m. on Sunday.

SOUTH BRUNSWICK - It's a pro-gram that emphasizes learning whatcan't be taught in the classroom.

South Brunswick High School hasembarked on its new Job Opportunitiesby Shadowing and Sampling (JOBSS)program in its life skills classes, givingstudents first-hand knowledge of the reallife workplace.

According to Londa Appignani, transi-tion and employment coordinator atSouth Brunswick High School, the goal ofJOBSS is to allow students with disabili-ties to experience a real world work situ-ation in the community, while improvingemployment and social skills. JOBSSallows students to visit a business andobserve and perform entry-level jobs.

Students are supervised by certifiedspecial education teachers or by parapro-fessionals during the program.

The idea for this business school part-nership was first developed in 1982 forstudents with cognitive disabilities.

This past summer, according toAppignani, the program was updated toaddress students with autism and othercognitive disabilities who are enrolled inthe high school's life skills class.

Begun as a collaborative effort

between herself, Special EducationSupervisor Marilyn Pruce and SpecialServices Director George Scott,Appignani said the program will rununtil the end of the current school year.The program is open to those studentswith significant cognitive disabilities andthose enrolled in the life skills class.

There are currently nine studentsparticipating in the program. The partic-ipating students have been very enthusi-astic about learning various supermarketjobs, how to sign into work, and wearappropriate work attire and identifica-tion badges, Appignani said.

The students, according to Appignani,job shadow every Monday at the SuperStop & Shop in the South BrunswickSquare Mall.

"The employees, management andcustomers at Stop & Shop have been fan-tastic, supportive and accommodating,"Appignani said.

In past years, businesses such asWawa, Grand Union, Halston Fragrance,Sperry-Univac and IBM have participat-ed in the employment program,Appignani said. This type of program isneeded, Appignani said, because studentwith cognitive disabilities remain in theSouth Brunswick School District.

These students, Appignani said, needreal world life skills and employmenttraining as part of their educational pro-gram.

The JOBSS program, according toAppignani, will run at South BrunswickHigh School as long as the school contin-ues its life skills course.

K. Hovnanian mullingage-restricted home planBY JENNIFER KOHLHEPPStaff Writer

NOETH BRUNSWICK - A nationaldeveloper kicked up conversation aboutbuilding age-restricted townhouses onEoute 1 last week., Representatives of K. Hovnanian

talked to township officials last weekabout the plausibility of building age-re-stricted units behind Regal Cinemas, ac-cording to Mayor Francis "Mac" Womack.

"The company, has been very courte-ous in responding to our request to con-sider building an age-restricted commu-nity in Governor's Pointe," Womack said.

Currently, the township does not havehousing stock for active adults over theage of 55, Womack said.

Womack said Hovnanian already hasapproval to build approximately 120townhouses in the area behind RegalCinemas.

"The reason they're not building outthe rest of Governor's Pointe is becausethe board placed a contingency on their

•Community Bulletin Board

application," Womack said.The Planning Board will not allow

Hovnanian to build the remaining unitsof the project unless the company buildsa grocery store in the lot just south ofRegal Cinemas near Aaron Road, Wom-ack said.

'So far, no grocery store has shownany interest in going in there," Womacksaid. "We've had a significant amount offood stores move into the area in the lastfew years."

Despite the lack of interest, Womacksaid the township will continue to holdthe developer to the stipulations.

"The company threatened to take usto court over it, but we're hoping to worksomething out," Womack said.

At this point, K. Hovnanian will pro-ceed with market analysis on whetherage-restricted units would sell in Gover-nor's Pointe, Womack said.

The company has organized a group ofresidents and other concerned citizens tohelp with the decision process, Womacksaid.

Planning Board .meetingsmay be on TV next yearBY JENNIFER KOHLHEPPStaff Writer

NORTH BRUNSWICK - Stay tunedfor township Planning Board meetingson TV.

Last year, the board squashed resi-dents' hopes for a more open governmentwhen members voted against televisingtheir meetings, but now they're ready forlights, camera and action, according toMayor Francis "Mac" Womack.

"Members were afraid that televisingmeetings would put them at risk in per-sonal liability issues," Womack said."But, after reviewing the matter again,members seem confident that televising

meetings would confirm they act proper-ly, with integrity and openness."

In May of last year, the TownshipCouncil urged board members to thinkabout having their meetings televised toensure a more open government.

At that time, board member andCouncilman Bob Davis said, "Because ofthe legal and economic ramifications, wefeel the meetings should not be tele-vised."

Womack saiii the council will have tocome up with more funding to televisethe meetings on Cable Channel 22. Hedid not estimate probable costs.

"We're going to have to ensure prop-er staff and equipment is available,"Womack said.

Womack said the benefit to residentswould outweigh the additional fundsneeded.

"Today our residents' greatest con-cerns lie with development in town,"Womack said. "For them to see theboard meetings where the master plantakes shape from what can and cannotbe built, will be of certain importance toall residents."

Womack said he hopes the decisionwill generate more citizen involvementin the township government.

The mayor credited Councilman-elect Ralph Andrews, who is also theboard's president, with revisiting theissue of televising meetings and gainingsupport for the matter.

The board should begin televisingtheir meetings early next year, Womacksaid.

South Brunswick Township is theonly other municipality in MiddlesexCounty to televise Planning Boardmeetings, according to Planning BoardSecretary Debbie Fienstien.

'Electronic Robin Hoods' disrespect residents'

C ould someone please getMayor "Mac" Womackand. the North Brunswick

Township Council a cup of cof-fee? Cablevision is asking theNorth Brunswick TownshipCouncil for a 10-year extensionagreement. Now, to entice theTownship Council, these elec-tronic Robin Hoods are offeringsuch amenities as free Internetaccess to each school library inthe township and for one munic-ipal building.

In addition, Cablevision willprovide at no cost to the highschool and Board of Educationoffice an additional cable returnpath to the municipal building.Sound good? Well, beware ofcable television companies bear-ing gifts. The reality of this dealis all of these items are ulti-mately going to be paid for bythe Cablevision subscribers inNorth Brunswick in highermonthly rates — give me abreak. My opinion is theTownship Council should throwthese money-grubbingscoundrels out of the municipalbuilding into Hermann Road ontheir backsides.

I have been a subscriber toCablevision for 10 years, and inthat time I have seen my month-ly charges rise by 77 percent.Now, I realize cable television is

a virtual unregulated utility.Nonetheless, if Verizon orPSE&G had attempted thesame price-gouging tactic on thetownship's residents during thepast decade, there would havebeen hell to pay. However, in thecase of Cablevision, TownshipAttorney Konald Gordon wantsto run up a white flag before wehave fought the battle.

Furthermore, during thepast 10 years — in an attempt tokeep my monthly cost down — Ihave continuously scaled backservice on my plan.Consequently, today I haveabout 15 percent fewer channelson my plan than I had 10 yearsago. Oh yes, there is also the cir-cumstance of my having to payfor channels I don't even watch.Forget about the fact I onlyspeak English, yet still have topay for a glut of Spanish-speak-ing stations I don't watch.

The whole Cablevision fran-chise circumstance in NorthBrunswick stinks. TheTownship Council needs to holdthese robbers' feet to the fireuntil they get a new deal thattreats their customers in NorthBrunswick with respect and dig-nity in their business practices.

Are illegal immigrants con-sidered eligible individuals? Anymedical procedures not coveredor any balance left over from thehospital are written off. They donot have to pay.

Show me what you have tooffer. First, show me what youhave done, show me a plan andhow it is being financed. Then Imay believe you, and you mightget my vote.

Urge officials to block elimination of i-ZPoss discounts

T he New Jersey Turnpike Authorityis at it again. Remember, this is thesame organization that has been

criticized in the past concerning toll col-lectors earning more than $100,000 peryear, higher-ups earning upwards of$250,000 plus.huge fringe benefits, politi-cally appointed jobs, and of course, theoveruse of giving out government vehicles.

What about the excessive waste of ourtoll dollars on unneeded road repairs?Look at how many years the same con-tractor has been working between exits13 and 14. Yet the jam between exits 8Aand 8 has never been addressed, eventhough the population is moving south toJackson and beyond, and the road hasnever been widened from Exit 8A to atleast Exit 7A to make travel safer andeasier. It is a nightmare to travel south ,from Exit 9 because the road goes fromsix lanes to five, then to three lanes.

Didn't former Gov. James McGreeveycombine the^ Garden State ParkwayAuthority with the NJTA to save toll dol-lars for taxpayers?

Then, remember the E-ZPass mess.-The NJTA used a pay-to-play contractor,overpaid the company, and then could notget the system to work. It then costanother $200 million for another compa-ny just to straighten out the mistakesmade by the first company. This broughtthe cost for the E-ZPass system to well

over $800 million of our hard-earned tollmoney, much more than the amountspaid by Delaware, New York and thePennsylvania Turnpike Authority.

If not for pay-to-play, our E-ZPass sys-tem would never have cost anywherenear what it did, and it would haveworked perfectly much sooner. The rea-son for the E-ZPass system was to maketoll collection much faster, to move trafficfaster, and to lower the cost of tolls forNew Jersey citizens, most of whom, com-mute to work five-six days a week.

More than a year ago, the discount onthe parkway was taken away during therush hours and weekends, when mostNew Jersey citizens use these roads. Nowthe NJTA wants to do the same on theNew Jersey Turnpike. The tolls arealready some of the highest per mile com-pared to most toll roads throughout theUnited States;. It is time for Chris Christie, the fed-eral prosecutor, to investigate the work-ings of the NJTA. I ask all New Jerseyresidents to call and write Gov, RichardCodey and all your representatives andurge them to stop the waste at the NJTA,clean up the agency and cut costs as wellas the tolls, and to block the eliminationof toll discounts for using E-ZPass.

SAYEEVILLE - In an event that fea-tured a Christmas tree aglow withflames instead of lights, government offi-cials Monday stressed the need to exer-cise care when decorating for the holi-days.

State Assemblyman John Wisniewski,who lives in Sayreville and is chairmanof the N.J. Fire Safety Commission,teamed with Middlesex CountyFreeholder Christopher Rafano andCounty Fire Marshal Michael Gallagherfor a demonstration to show how fast anatural Christmas tree can becomeengulfed in flames when placed too closeto candles or other sources of heat.

"As the chair of the Fire SafetyCommission, Ibelieve it'is of the utmostimportance to keep people informed andsafe. The holidays are a time when manyaccidental fires occur," Wisniewski said."Our hope with this demonstration is tosave lives during the holidays."

Among the numerous tips given dur-ing the event at the Middlesex CountyFire Academy in Sayreville were:

• If Christmas bulbs burn out or blow,replace them immediately;

• Don't leave the lights on when yougo out or go to sleep;

8 Don't let bulbs touch anything thatcan easily burn, such as paper;

« Don't overload sockets;» Use only UL-approved lights with

no more than three strands linkedtogether;

8 Use extension cords only if abso-lutely necessary and follow directions;

s Don't place decorations directlyabove or around a fireplace;

B Consider getting an artificial treebecause they are less of a fire hazard;

• On real trees, needles should begreen and hard to pull from the branch-

. e s ; • , • . . , - • , . . . . .

• Tree trunks should be sticky to thetouch; .'•':.-

8 Cut one inch off the trunk to Kelp itabsorb water;

• A 6-foot tree should receive one gal-lon of water every two days, and thewater should be mixed with a commercialpreservative;

• Don't keep a live tree for longer thantwo weeks.

The Township Council unanimouslyvoted to adopt an ordinance that defers awater and sewer rate increase for sixmonths in 2005, during Monday night'smeeting.

"The water contract calls for an in-crease every January, but we didn't feelwe needed it so we pushed it off for sixmonths," Mayor Francis "Mac" Womacksaid.

Shows featuring manyarea youth dancers

will be staged Saturday

Some of New Jersey's most talentedyouth dancers will take the stageSaturday when a state ensemble

presents its annual production of "TheNutcracker."

The shows, with performances at 1p.m. and 4:30 p.m. at East BrunswickHigh School, Middlesex County, will fea-ture approximately 60 dancers, mostlybetween the ages of 9 and 18. Presentedby the N.J. Dance Theatre Ensemble inconjunction with the East BrunswickEducation Foundation, the shows havebecome an annual December tradition atthe school.

Ensemble Business Director KarinEngel said the production, with manydancers hailing from central New Jersey,has been a great success in EastBrunswick, whose auditorium has seat-ing for 730.

"It's a timeless, classic story set to themusic of Tchaikovsky, with beautifuldancing and costumes," she said. "It's avery professional production."

But what is unique about the en-semble's performance is that the dancersare considered "preprofessional." Joiningthe company through an audition processat the age of 9, the dancers take weeklytechnique cjasses with the ensemble atDrew University in Madison, study bothclassical ballet and modern dance, and inmost cases take dance classes at a localstudio two to three times a week.

"So, the level of instruction is of a veryhigh caliber," said Engel, a Westfield res-

ident whose 14-year-old d iu-,hic IElizabeth plays the lead role nl f 1 i i

Among the local youths ft ui'iccl inthe production are five North I5>""- K>residents — Briana Burckhaidt S u ihKramer, Jillian and Mackenzii Ki< i uulChristina Soto; Michelle BU-.HU i ulDayton; Alexandra DeAmicis Mill Id MIJessica and Jaimie Berube ol LiUl(Silver; Kelsey McMahon, Red H mk uulKara Menendez, Tinton Falls.

The fall-length ballet, ,directed by Nancy Turano,also features about a dozenguest artists, including imembers of the JuilliardDance Ensemble, Alvin Ailey .School, SUNY Purchase and ILuna Negra.

Initially brought to the jhigh school several years agoby Nancy Paulson, a one-time East Brunswick Board Iof Education member who 'previously served in Engel'sposition, the ensemble first [began performing "The iNutcracker" 35 years ago.

Engel said the annualshows are a major endeavorin terms of space and pro-duction needs, which is whyit is performed at only onevenue. It also involves atremendous effort on thepart of the performers.

"We start rehearsing inOctober," Engel said. "Werehearse on both Saturdaysand Sundays each weekenduntil the performances. It'spretty time-consuming and

funding to the development of townshipsenior center, offering township residentsfirst refusal of any units built on thefarm, and keeping some of the unitssmall to ensure affordability.

"The bonuses are just not legal,"Galioto said.

Womaclc defended the density bonus-es and called them a "creative" and legalway to give township residents the optionof moving into the PAC.

Residents like Maureen Little urgedthe council to consider eminent domainas away of obtaining the property if thePulda family would not consider sellingtheir land to the township.

Other residents, like Morris Enyeart,expressed their disdain for condemna-tion.

"I don't believe eminent domain is anappropriate action," Enyeart said. "Idon't think it's an action the courts woulduphold because the township has alreadymet its needs for open space."

The mayor agreed with Enyeart, and

said condemnation would be costly anddifficult to pursue.

"The Planning Board made the deci-sion to rezone the property because adulthousing is currently not a stock we pro-vide for our residents in the township,"Womack said. "I still support the board'sand the council's actions. They're rightwith regard to zoning for the PAC."

Developer Jack Morris of Piscataway-based Edgewood Properties currently hasthe Pulda farm under contract. In Marchhe went to the board with preliminaryplans to build 96 single-family homes onthe property.

In June, Morris' representativespitched a plan to build a 345-unit PAC ifofficials rezoned the property, but saidEdgewood Properties would prefer tobuild single-family homes on the farm.

In October, Edgewood Propertiessided with NBR and intervened in theirlawsuit against the township.

Doug Wolfson, an attorney for Edge-wood Properties, said Morris still prefersto build single-family homes on the land.

Beyond the procedural errors, thelawsuit contends the township engagedin spot-zoning the Pulda Farm.

"It's being treated differently from

invw. bocadayspas. com

other properties similarly situated," Do-nato said. "The property is not beingtreated from a sound planning point ofview. The zoning change also fails to pro-tect the environmentally sensitive Far-rington Lake."

NBR continues to work on its lawsuitand still seeks donations to ensure thatthe group can see it all the way through,Galioto said.

Barbara K. Lewinson, an EastBrunswick lawyer working with Donatopro-bono on the matter, said the suit re-mains a fight to retain the Pulda farm asopen space,

"The only reason NBR has not filedthe complaint in pursuit of this isbecause they are not allowed to file foropen space pursuant to the laws of thestate of New Jersey," Lewinson said."However, NBR believes they will be suc-cessful in retaining the farm as the lastpristine piece of open space in North

NS

Brunswick."Lewinson said a vast majority of resi-

dents remain "drastically opposed" to thePAC.

Approximately 900 people signed apetition against any development on thePulda farm in August, which NBR mem-bers presented to the council before im-plementing the rezone.

"The only reason the Township Coun-cil unanimously voted for this is becausethey received tremendous sums of moneyfrom the Middlesex County DemocraticOrganization who Mr. Morris funds withvarious businesses," Lewinson said.

Lewinson urged the council to offerthe Pulda family fair market value forthe farm.

"The Pulda farm should be takenthrough eminent domain and purchasedby the township for fair market value,which is under $10 million," Lewinsonsaid.

Syed Rizvi, 18, of South Brunswick,was ^-charged with robbery, theft andassault.'

Kizvi was one of several suspects whoallegedly attacked a delivery man fromPizza Delizia on Ridge Road Tuesdayafternoon.

According to South BrunswickDetective James Ryan, the suspectscalled for pizza to be delivered to a resi-dence on Quincy Circle.

When the delivery man arrived at thehome, no one answered the door. Afterattempting to call the residence from hiscell phone, the man returned to his carwhen he noticed four males in a neigh-boring courtyard.

Three of the males, according toRyan, wore ski masks.

The four men chased the deliveryman back to his vehicle, according toRyan.

One suspect entered the passengerside, taking the pizza, Ryan said, whileanother suspect reached the driver'sside, and punched and kicked the victim.

NORTH BRUNSWICK - Tisthe season for giving,

In an. effort to cheer up chil-dren in area hospitals who won'tmake it home for the holidays,township .officials have teamedup with the North BrunswickDemocratic Organization tosponsor a holiday toy drive,

"It is always important toremember and give to those lessfortunate," Councilman BruceChandlee, the organization'schairman said.

Chandlee said he hopes resi-dents will make the collection assuccessful as those of years' past.

"This is our third year, andresidents should know how wellthe toys have been received bythe children," Chandlee said.

Anyone interested m thecause should drop donations offat the township's MunicipalBuilding at 710 Hermann. Road,weekdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

According to Ryan, the delivery manwas able to escape in his car and nomoney was stolen. The victim then con-tacted his employer, who notified police.

Ryan said the phone order arousedsuspicion when the caller asked if thedelivery man would have change for$100.

According to Ryan, the would-be rob-bers likely wanted to make sure thedelivery man had enough cash on him.

Ryan said he expected the policedepartment to make the three otherarrests sometime Wednesday evening.

New Step Inn Ballroomowner plans to reopenas bar and restaurant

BY JOHN DUNPHYStaff Writer

SAYREVILLE - It's provided astage for countless performers andentertainment for thousands.

But the Step Inn Ballroom, used bythe Main Street Theater Co. since thetroupe was formed in 1994 by localteenagers with a passion for theater,has changed hands and will soon oper-ate as a restaurant and sports bar.

As a result, when the curtain drops

this weekend following Saturday's per-formances of "It's a Wonderful Life," itwill likely mark the last time the the-ater troupe graces the MacArthurAvenue stage. The holiday show is thelast of the season for the company,which is currently looking for a newvenue.

"We've been preparing ourselves forthe move," said Vic Morosco, who hasperformed and directed with the troupealmost since its inception. "We've beenhere 10 years, it's been our home."

The Step Inn Ballroom will now beoperated by Parag Kashiparekh, theowner of the Crestwood bar and restau-

rant on Old Bridge Turnpike in SouthRiver. Kashiparekh said he plans tocreate a similar environment at theStep Inn, also using the space as a ban-quet hall and holding special eventssuch as jazz performances and comedynights.

"Where people could spend the wholenight [at the restaurant]," Kashiparekhsaid.

The new establishment, which itsowner said will likely receive a newname, could be open for business byFebruary, he said.

Morosco said the theater troupe hasprospects for a new location.

"We definitely have to find a place,"Morosco said. "We're hoping to re-

emerge in the spring."He said borough officials have been

helping the thespians to make sure anew location is secured. According tocouncil President Thomas Pollando, theinvolved parties are close to a deal thatwould see the Main Street Theater Co.set up camp at the former Krome night-club at Route 35 and Old Spye Road.

"We're very close on that," he said.The club closed its doors in

September following the late-Augustshooting of a Union Township man, CheBroadus, as he was leaving the club fol-lowing a Teeri Night promotion.

The Beninato family, which ownsthe Krome property, was expecting toclose the club several months later andsell the site to a developer who wouldthen build an age-restricted communityand marina on and around the Kromesite.

While talks with the developer,Zigga Roshnasky, of ContinentalProperties Inc., are still ongoing, anygroundbreaking on such a developmentwould likely take place in late 2005,Roshnasky said.

Krome, which for many years op-erated as Club Bene, had been holdingall-ages concerts and teen nights sincelosing its liquor license in 2001, andhad gained negative public attention onseveral occasions, many related tocrowd control problems and the needfor a police presence.

"I don't think residents would mindthe theater going in there," Pollandosaid. "This way, it keeps our word thatwe wouldn't have a club in that area,nothing that will have nuisance issues."

With redevelopment talks still ac-tive, the nightclub property would like-ly be just a temporary home for the the-ater company.

"The mayor is behind [the troupe]and interested in our well-being,"Morosco said. "Our summation is themayor and the powers that be want usto stay alive."

Pollando said the borough is in-terested in building a theater off MainStreet in the vicinity of borough hall.However, as the project would cost atleast a couple million dollars, it wouldstill be a few years before it couldbecome a reality. '

"It takes money, like anything else,"he said. -

"I think the Main Street Theater Co.offers a venue for local residents tohone their skills," Mayor KennedyO'Brien said. "I think it's an integralpart of our community."

Once "It's A Wonderful Life" wraps,it will be time to begin one of the moredifficult phases of moving — cleaningup.

"We definitely want to stay inSayreville. We're hoping down the line,the whole borough will want us to be aviable part of the community with ourown stable theater," Morosco said. "Ithink we're optimistic. It's all a matterof time."

School budget(Continued from page 1)

Assistant Superintendent forBusiness Jeffrey Scott said the budgetapproach stays close to enrollment pro-jections.

Enrollment is projected to increase,Scott said, by an additional 226 studentsfor the 2005-06 school year. The projectedallocation per pupil have remained rela-tively static, Scott said.

According to Scott, board membersmeet with school principals to determineif allocation is adequate to meet studentneeds.

According to the 2005-06 draft budg-et, a South Brunswick High School stu-

dent will need $381.17 for the schoolyear. This allotment includes funding foritems such as textbooks, teaching sup-plies, athletic supplies and library books.

The per pupil allotment for a middleschool student is $254.84, and $206.16for an elementary student.

The budget, Scott said, is based on anaverage class size of 25 students forgrades six through 12, and an averageclass size of 23 students for kindergartenthrough fifth grade.

Scott said challenges such as anincrease in haalth benefits despite a lackin state aid make creating a budget par-ticularly difficult.

Over the last 11 years, according toScott, the board has been successful increating a budget.

"Each year it doesn't get any easier,"Scott said.

The school budget caps law and itspossible repeal was also a topic for heat-ed discussion at the budget meeting.

The law, passed in June, reduced theannual cap on spending growth from 3percent to 2.5 percent and reduced theamount of surplus school districts maycarry from 6 percent to 3 percent.

Calling it an unfortunate piece of leg-islation, McCartney said the bill has amisplaced purpose and has created erro-neous new caps which reduce a school'sneeded reserve.

The reserves, according to McCartney,are used to offset budget increases.

Using portions of a school's reserves,according to McCartney, will lessen theamount of taxes placed on property own-ers, who would have otherwise had topay larger amounts of property tax.

According to McCartney, the bill willcreate dangerous conditions for some dis-tricts as property taxes spike.

According to Scott, the effects ofS1701 may force districts to use portionsof surplus for expenses such as teachersalaries. The surplus, Scott said, shouldbe used for one-time expenses, as suffi-

SENTINEL, December 9, 2004 2 3cient amounts of it may not be availablein the future. Schools, according to Scott,may have to reduce staff or raise prop-erty taxes.

"Neither is a good option," Scot said.According to Scott, potential amend-

ments to the law by January can help the2005-06 budget.

Little by little, Scott said, the nega-tive aspects of S1701 will be amended.

Board member Martin Abschutz saidhe was excited by the amount of peoplewho have shown interest in repealing thelaw. It is important, Abschutz said, thatthe public knows about the law, whichtakes control away from the school dis-trict.

"It's a marathon, not a sprint,"Abschutz said of the process of trying toamend the law.

Abschutz also outlined a timetable fordistrict's budget process with the nextbudget committee meeting scheduled forJan. 11.

Budget meetings should continue intoFebruary, but may depend on whetherthe district receives state aid informa-tion, according to Abschutz.

A public hearing on the proposedschool budget is scheduled for March 22.

SENTINEL, December 9, 2004 2 7

1 'm convinced that there are two typesof women in this world. There are theorderly and systematic types, and

there are the chaotic women, such asmyself, who cram stuff wherever we can.

The systematic gals make organizationlook easy. T.hey know where the mate is toeach and every sock in their care. Theykeep their linens in chronological order,alphabetize their canned goods and havenever, for any reason, misplaced a lightbulb.

The systematic gals have dust-freehomes, their desks are without clutter, andthe prospect of soggy vegetables in theircrisper is more than they can bear.

I am the queen of the chaotic group.While I strive for an organized existence, iteludes me at every turn. My shoes strayfrom their mates, my best forks hide out inthe kids' toy boxes, and I have been search-ing, for no less than two years, for the spareset of keys to the car.

While I would love to open a drawer andadmire its theme, I can't seem to decidewhether the drawer to the right of the sinkshould be called the Haven for PlasticWrap or the Cozy Corner for Cloves.

Despite the fact that no one in thishouse has had a need for a bobby pin inover 36 years, we house one in every draw-er. Along with* a rubber band, a bread tieand one not-quite-used Q-tips swab.

Amid this chaos, there's nothing that Idread more than when my beloved mis-places something. It compares only to beingserved a search warrant by a band ofoverzealous FBI agents, light before theytoss the house. There's no end to where thisman will look.

Take' January 2001, for instance. Itshall forever be known as "The WinterThat I Misplaced the Checkbook."

It started with an inquiry as simple as,"Hey, have you seen the checkbook?," but itquickly evolved into something much more.

Eight after we looked in the normalplaces such as the sewing box and the pock-et of my green housecoat, my belovedspouse went through a transformation. Heevolved into a man on a mission as hesearched through my night stand and rum-maged my magazine racks.

He emptied the laundry hamper, tossedout my coupon box and then chastised mefor my lack of oi-ganization in the medicinecabinets. He sorted the contents on mydesk, dumped my sock drawer and had thenerve to search through the boxes of cher-ished items that I had stashed behind thesofa and deemed them trash.

He messed up the whole house while Iran behind him pleading, "Please stop look-

ing, I'll find it for you. Don't open that door!Don't open that one either! Will you stopopening stuff? Are you insane?"

I followed up with my personal favorite,"Why in the world would you check thefreezer? And yes! I do have plans for thosechicken gizzards."

LORI CLINCH

Are We There Yet.7

The fact that the checkbook turned upbehind the potatoes in the drawer underthe oven would make no sense at all to theunseasoned mind. But as any womanworth her salt will tell you, valuable itemsshould always be stashed in the last placethe average thief would think to look.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.Last Saturday night, I walked into our

bedroom and caught a glimpse of my hus-band's feet as they protruded from underthe bed.

I instantly knew he'd misplaced some-thing and that a lecture on organizationwould be sure to follow. "What on earth areyou doing under there?" I asked with fear.

"I'm marveling at the mess.""What are you looking for?""I've lost the mate to my black oxfords.

Why can't we do something about this clut-ter?"

"Because it's tiring, it's tedious, andquite frankly, I feel it's beneath us. Besides,why would you think that your Oxfordswould be under the bed?"

"Because I already looked under theshoe rack and came up empty," he repliedwith Sarcasm.

His shoe finally turned up beneath thecouch cushion. But not before he rum-maged my junk drawers, my glove box andthe cupboard above the refrigerator, whereI keep the outdated aspirin.

"We're going to have to find a way toorganize this mess before we go out of ourminds," he said as he tied up his laces.

"Oh, I am so on that!" I replied. "Withcategorize as my name and regulation asmy game, I am going to put organizationright at the top of my to do'list!"

And I will, too, just as soon as I find atablet and a writing utensil.

MIXING IT UPYou have heard the saying about 'gettingtoo much of a good thing," well, sticking tothe same form of daily exercise can iallinto that categoiy. It helps to switch tovarious routines and work different mus-cles so as not to overstress them.With thisin mind, cross-training is an exercise regi-men that involves regularly switchingfrom one. to three basic complementarycomponents to another. These compo-nents are: aerobic-style exercise, strengthtraining, and flexibility exercises. Aerobicactivities burn calories, raise levels of HDL("good") cholesterol, and build cardiovas-cular fitness. Strength training builds mus-cles, raises the body's metabolic rate, andlowers levels of LDL ("bad") cholesterol.Flexibility routines keep muscles andjoints loose and help prevent soreness andinjury,

Cross training reduces the risk of injurybecause the same muscles, bones andjoints are not continuously used orstressed out. Further, cross training helps'in achieving overall fitness goals and withtime you can clearly see the improvementin your performance. If you or a familymember needs therapy, consider receivingthese services At THE REHABILITATIONCENTER. For more information, call 732-329-1181. You'll find us at 155 RaymondRd. (Buckingham Place Facility), day, eve-ning and Saturday hours are available.

Please send your questions orcomments to my office or e-mail me

at: [email protected]

P.S. Overuse injuries result from usingthe same muscles in the same way,over and over.

A room full of old-fashioned phono-graph horns, arranged in neatrows, fan toward the door of

Aaron Cramer's display room.A 1941 Wurlitzer jukebox along the

back wall sports a Technicolor peacockdesign. Talking dolls sit in a glass-frontdisplay cabinet along the left wall. Allaround the room are placards advertis-ing phonographs and music boxes. Thereare multiple movie posters for "Edison,the Man," starring Spencer Tracy.

For Cramer, the room represents a35-year love affair with its many treas-ures.

"I'm interested in the technology,"said Cramer, who moved to Old Bridgethree years ago. "These devices still workafter over 100 years. But you have tothrow out your electric toothbrush aftera few months."

Cramer, a longtime Brooklyn residentand a retired high school technologyteacher, discusses his collection proudly.

Everything he has, he noted, works."I spend a lot of time with these

things," Cramer said.At the immediate entrance to the

room of collectibles, Cramer has one ofthe earliest jukeboxes, dating from 1900He dropped a nickel into the slot at the

front of the rectangular wooden box andit began to play. It's an Edison AutomaticConcert Phonograph, according to its la-bel. The recording it plays is crackling,but the tune is still there and clear.

Cramer pointed out that a device likethis would've been in a store, where pa-trons would put nickels in when passingby.

Cramer also owns a phonograph witha headphone attachment, akin to the lis-tening stations in today's music stores.This, he said, would have been withmany other machines like it, along awall in an arcade. People would come inwith tissues and wipe off the ear piecesbefore using them.

The headphones, Cramer said, werethe key. Someone could listen to theirown piece of music without disruptingthe arcade patron next to them.

"You'd go crazy listening to 20 ofthese at once," he noted, gesturing to themachine.

Progressing around the room,Cramer pointed out a coin-operatedmetal disc music box that dispensesgum, as well as two tiny phonographtoys. The toys, he said, were made by achocolate company and used to holdchocolate records. Not surprisingly, thecandy records have not survived.

There's one item in this room, how-ever, that Cramer's collection is bestknown for. Set up on a shelf, a taperecorder next to it, with a sign alertingobservers of its importance, is the Lam-bert Phonograph.

Made in 1878, Cramer said it is theworld's oldest talking clock. According tothe "Guinness Book of World Records"and the "Encyclopedia of KecordedSound in the United States", the phono-graph plays the world's oldest "playable"recording.

LSS?#^S^ii

This phonograph from Cramer's collection,shelf with similar models, dates to 1896.

There may be older examples, Cramersaid, but because many early recordingswere done on soft materials such as tinfoil, a popular recording medium at thetime the Lambert machine was made,they cannot be heard today.

Frank Lambert, the phonograph'snamesake, created the machine and therecording on it because of a contract be-tween the Ansonia Clock Co. andThomas Edison. The contract, dated Jan.7,1878, discussed the making of a recordto be placed inside a talking clock. Tomake the record, Lambert first had tomake the phonograph. Letters from theclock company to Edison verify the age of

the phonograph and the recording."There's also information on what

Edison wrote. There are copies of thatcontract in West Orange," Cramer noted.

The recording cylinder, Cramer said,is the reason that the recording can stillbe played. It's lead instead of tinfoil.

"The metal sleeve comes out," Cramersaid, taking the phonograph apart, "and

it would've been used asa mold for the record."

Listening toLambert's recording,words are difficult tomake out. But Lambertcan be heard, clearly, in

< parts. He's calling outi hours for the talking

clock.Although Guinness

stopped listing the cate-gory that the phono-graph fits into after1994, the recording isstill the oldest in theworld, according toCramer.

He said researchingthe machines hasbecome an enjoyable

part of collecting. After Guinness con-tacted him about the Lambert recordingand verified its age, Cramer and his wife,Thea, looked into Lambert's past.

"My wife actually tracked down hisgranddaughter — the last living personhe spoke to," Cramer said.

The Cramers were then able to tradeinformation with the granddaughter.

"It was like a treasure hunt," Cramersaid, smiling.

A machine near the back of the roomis Cramer's favorite. Twelve sets of 100-year-old headphones attached to rubbertubing snake out the top of it. This wassomething that could be found at a carni-

val, Cramer said."They'd charge 5 cents for each person

to listen," he said, adding that differentmusic choices were available on cylin-ders inside drawers underneath theheadphones.

In 1892, that machine, called an Edi-son North American, cost $200.

"You could buy a row house inPhiladelphia for that [at the time],"Cramer said.

Instead, the man who owned the ma-chine made a living from it, taking it tovarious venues and charging people tolisten to the various pieces of music. Thereason Cramer favors the North Ameri-can has less to do with what it does andmore to do with something its first ownerleft behind.

"There's a home recording," Cramersaid, "that was made by the great-greatgrandfather of the guy I bought it from."

The recording was made in 1893, andin it, the man talks about his farm inMaine. His son is also on the recording.

"He says he's talking into this greatinvention so that his children in the fu-ture can hear [him]," Cramer said.

The family he bought the machinefrom never heard that recording. Cramertranscribed it and fixed it digitally, and

SENTINEL, December 9, 2004 3 1sent the recording to them.

"I sent them a copy of their ancestor'svoice," Cramer said, his smile returning.

Keeping everything in his collectionin working order keeps Cramer busy, hesaid, though he maintains he's done withacquiring new items.

"I don't think I'm going to expandanymore," he said. "Then I'd be collectingrooms instead of phonographs."

Cramer paused to explain one of thethree machines he has outside the roomhe built to house the collection, andopened the front of the device. It's aRegina Corona, Model 35, AutomaticChanger, made around 1900. A largemetal disc in the belly of the cabinetCramer opened started to turn slowly,the perforations in it producing music asit revolved. It holds 12 of these discs,Cramer said, and it can play all 12 in or-der, one on repeat, or play only one songand then stop.

"It's like an early CD player," he said.Cramer stood back from the machine

and grinned again as a music box melodyfilled the room.

"See what I mean by great technolo-gy? After all these years, it works fine,"

A coach's patience rewardedBears give Marcus

Borden his first statechampionship

BY DOUG McKENZIEStaff Writer

PISCATAWAY - It's been a long timecoming, but it was worth the wait forMarcus Borden.

In his 22nd year as the head coach of theEast Brunswick High School football team,•Borden's team finally achieved its ultimategoal of winning a state championship, anddid so in dramatic fashion, knocking offunbeaten Jackson on Sunday, 17-14, in theCentral Jersey Group IV final at RutgersStadium. , • . . • . . . • .

"Unbelievable — that's what the ridehas been," Borden said. "When you're incoaching as long as I've been, it really be-comes extra special."

Borden's Bears last reached a statechampionship game 19 years ago, and thecoach has been chomping at the bit to getback ever since.

"Having been there my first two years atEast Brunswick, it's been a longer road toget back than I thought it would," he said."Having been there as a young coach, Iknow it's been frustrating at times over theyears. But it was well worth the wait. It's anunbelievable feeling to finally accomplishthis."

And it took a tremendous effort from aresilient Bears team that has been in closegames all season. In fact, just getting to thefinals was a triumph in adversity, as theBears knocked off Brick Township by onepoint before surviving an overtime battlewith Hillsborough in the semifinals.

Yet despite their penchant for the dra-matic, the Bears were still considered the

underdog against a talented Jackson team."I told the kids we were going to be pro-

hibitive underdogs," Borden said. "Comingoff a loss to Old Bridge [on Thanksgiving]having not scored any points, I think somepeople were thinking that was the end of itfor us. But we felt as a coaching staff thatwe had plenty left, and were certainly capa-ble of playing with those guys."

And the Bears proved their coachesprophetic early on, using a nine-play, 27-yard first-quarter drive to set up a 30-yard Matt Mariano field goal, giv-ing East Brunswick the early 3-0lead.

Jackson responded with thegame's first touchdown, a 20-yard run from Jon Reggio thatcapped a seven-play, 58-yarddrive, to jump ahead 6-3.

But the Bears came rightback with a touchdown of their ownwhen running back Nick Dzieiak (13carries for 77 yards) busted loose with a 39-yard touchdown run. With Mariano's PAT(point after touchdown) kick, it was 10-6East Brunswick.

"I thought Nick played very well for us,"Borden said. "The field accentuated hisspeed, and he made some great moves andcutbacks to really keep their defense off-bal-ance."

The score remained 10-6 until the thirdquarter, when Mariano, the undersizedBear quarterback who has shown an un-canny ability to make the big play this year,hit Dan Fessel with a 43-yard scoring strikedown the middle of the field on what provedto be the game's winning play. Mariano,who also tormented the Jaguar defensewith his legs, rushing for 125 yards on 25carries, then lacked the PAT for a 17-6 lead.

Jackson cut the lead to 17-12 on a MarkSchiavone 7-yard scoring run, then had a

golden opportuni-ty to take the lead following a poor puntfrom Bear punter Rafaele Danise with justover three minutes left to play.

With the ball at the East Brunswick 38-yard line, the Jaguars immediately reachedthe 20 with a 15-yard pass. But that's whenFessel stepped up to make his second bigplay of the game, picldng off a Bill Fenimorepass, and ending the scoring threat.

But the drama didn't end there. TheBears failed to get a first down, and with

their backs against their own endzone, Borden made the gutsy call

of telling Mariano to take anintentional safety, rather thantry to punt from their own endzone.

"I'm sure some people didn'trealize what we were doing there,

but we wanted a situation wherewe could kick the ball without them

putting any pressure on [Danise],"Borden said. "With a free lack, which can beeither a kickoff or a punt, they were 10yards off him.

"Plus there were only 29 seconds left,and they had no time-outs," the coachadded.

While some may have disagreed withthe decision at the time, there was no ar-guing with the result. Danise redeemedhimself for his earlier miscue with a boom-ing free lack that traveled 72 yards (10yards over the head of the returner's out-stretched hands), putting Jackson on itsown 17-yard line as it attempted to put to-gether a game-tying drive.

"He certainly saved his best for last,"Borden said.

The Jaguars nearly pulled the comebackoff, using a pass-interference call and a 38-yard completion to reach the Bear 30-yardline with a single second i%emaining on the

clock. But a desperation 47-yard field goalattempt fell 10 yards short of the goalpost,and the Bears were state champions for thefirst time, while the Jaguars were left won-dering how the let this one get away.

"We're a little disappointed with the out-come," second-year Jackson coach MikeSmith said. "The kids fought hard all seasonfor a chance to win a state title. We just hap-pened to come up a •little short in the end, •East Brunswick was a good team. Theyproved to be the better team on this partic-ular day."

On the other sideline, Borden had noth-ing but praise for his team, and in particu-lar, his defense, ,

"Our defense did an outstanding job," hesaid. "Coach Tony Toto did an outstandingjob setting up our defensive scheme againsta tough team to prepare for. We held themto 14 points,'which is the least, they'vescored-all year, and we gave them six ofthose points after fumbling. But we reallystifled thenij and didn't allow them to makethe big play."

And part of the credit for that belongs tothe Bear offense, which won the time-of-possession battle, 29:50-18:10.

"When you can run the football and con-trol the clock it's like having a seconddefense out there," Borden said. "Both ouroffensive and defensive lines have beenstrong for us all season."

The Bears had a lot of strengths this sea-son, and used them to their fullest capacityon Sunday in giving Borden his long-await-ed first state championship.

Marcus Borden earned the respect of hiscoaching peers, his players, both past andpresent, and high school football fans longago. But it wasn't until Sunday he got thefinal piece to the puzzle.

The coach called it unbelievable.Perhaps. But certainly well-deserved.

' ith the holiday shopping seasonunder way, Attorney GeneralPeter C. Harvey and Consumer

Affairs Director Reni Erdos are caution-ing consumers to take extra care to pro-tect against identity theft as they pur-chase gifts and use ATMs.

"Identity theft is now the fastest-growing financial crime in our-country,"Attorney General Harvey said. "Nearly10 million Americans were victimizedlast year, resulting in $5 billion in indi-vidual losses and $45 billion in corporateand banking losses."

The most common ways in whichcriminals obtain personal informationinclude:

8 "Shoulder surfing," or looking oversomeone's shoulder as a pin number isentered at an ATM machine.

• Sending phony e-mails with official-looking credit card or bank companylogos that ask you to click on a link andrespond with account information to fixan alleged problem.

8 Calling and claiming to be a credit

"Reams of receipts were printed outfrom those transactions and the receiptsare an inviting target for ID thieves,"Erdos said. "Consumers should not leavea receipt in a shopping bag that a thiefcan reach into or steal. Protect a receiptjust as you would a credit card or cash."
