Alamo in Morris’ diorama of the battle, one of many the town­ship resident has built over the past eight years.

ATTACK!—Allan Morris and his son, Paulie, are eyewitnesses to history as the Mexican army scales the north wall of the

Dioramas make history come aliveBy Harry Trumboreof The Item

There’s a battle going on at the Morris residence on Long Hill Dri­ve. Several battles, actually.

Allan Morris bas brought his love of history and hobby of paint­ing miniature soldiers to a new lev­el. He builds dioramas.

In the Morris living room is a three-dimensional recreation of the battle of Antietam, with Union and Confederate soldiers barely 5 inches high fighting for control of the Burnside Bridge.

Downstairs, against a wall in the rec room, is a scale model of D Dav, with Gls scrambling from landing craft onto Omaha Beach, dodging realistic-looking explo­sions of cotton and tangled lines of baibed wire.

Across the room, defenders of the Alamo vainly try to halt the Mexican army’s attack on the Tex­an fort.

Morris, a Lax attorney with Mer­rill Lynch, said he receives the same sort of satisfaction from cre­ating his dioramas that an artist feels while painting a picture.

“I’ve always liked painting,” he said. “When you’re concentrating on painting the soldiers, it’s very' relaxing.” Beginning with a foun­dation of styrofoam blocks and papier-mache hills, Morris said it takes approximately six months to finish a scene.

He said he has always liked his­tory, but didn’t have room to con­struct dioramas until he and his wife, Lisa, moved from New York City to the township in 1996.

Although he reads history books extensively, Morris said he bases much of his research on annual pil­grimages he makes with his broth­er to Civil War battlefields, such as Antietem and Gettysburg. His dio­rama of Chancellorsville shows idle Union troops in camp, going about their chores, listening to music-one is even taking a bath in a tub-at the moment that Stonewall Jackson's troops burst from the woods in a suiprise attack.

Morris has brought several of his dioramas to his son Paulie’s classroom at Hartshorn School. At Thanksgiving time, he showed the students what life was like in Ply­mouth Colony with a diorama of the first Thanksgiving, one of his few non-military recreations.

“I hope the dioramas pique their interest in history!’ he said.

Lisa Morris said the family is preparing a room upstairs to dis­play her husband’s work. In return, she said she is requesting he build her a recreation of the Battle of Waterloo.

Morris smiled and pointed to the hundreds of soldiers he has lined up, waiting for a battle to fight

“I’m slowly painting the French cavalry,” he said.

Motorcycle rider crashes after encounter with deerBy Harry Trumboreof The Item

A 20-year-old Fiorham Park res­ident told police he was riding his motorcycle north on Parsonage Hill Road Sunday night around 10:30 p.m. when a deer dashed into the road in front of him.

Police said the cyclist swerved and lost control of the motorcycle. The man reportedly suffered abra­sions to his leg and was transport­ed by the Millbum-Short Hills Vol unteer First Aid Squad to a local hospital.

Alan Corelick of Convent Sta­tion, 69, allegedly told police he fell asleep while driving south on Kennedy Parkway at 2 p m July 7. According to reports, Gorelick’s

car collided with the rear of an SUV driven by Gintaras Franka of Woodlawn, N.Y., who had stopped for a red light.

Both vehicles were towed from the scene. Gorelick and Franka, who suffered pain in their arms, and a passenger in Frank’s truck who suffered from neck pain all refused medical treatment

Police cited Gorelick for care­less driving.

An alleged shoplifter was charged with robbety the morning of July 9 after she reportedly strug­gled with security personnel out­side the Sephora store at The Mall at Short Hills.

A security officer allegedly observed Paula Dasilva of Union, 34, place a number of items in her handbag, then leave the store while

pushing a 14-month-old boy in a stroller, without paying for the merchandise. When the officer attempted to detain Dasilva, she resisted, and as they struggled, the woman’s cell phone cut the offi­cer's wrist, according to reports.

The officer was treated on the scene and Dasilva and the child, her nephew, were taken to police headquarters for processing. Police said the value of ihe merchandise recovered from Dasilva’s handbag was $118.

William Young of Irvington, 42, was allegedly observed by security personnel at Neiman Marcus July 7 at 7:45 p.m. placing four shirts valued at $915 in a shopping bag before exiting the store without paying for them.

Young was stopped and

detained until township police arrived on the scene. Police, who charged Young with shoplifting, said he also had an outstanding arrest warrant from Edison.

Employees at Ih e Limited reported July 5 that a number of tops valued at approximately $1,500 were discovered missing from a table in the center of the store around 6:30 p m

According to reports, a woman with a shopping bag had been seen in the vicinity, but had left abrupt­ly when approached by store per­sonnel.

The manager of The Express told police July 7 shortly before 9 p.m. she noticed 18 pairs of blue jeans valued at $1,355 were miss­ing from a display table near the front of the store.

Local firefighters assist towns of Summit, BellevilleBy Harry Trumboreof The Hem

Township firefighters provided assistance for Summit personnel battling a residential fire on Prospect Road in Summit early Sunday morning. Local firefighters helped check the building for hot spots or any extension of the fire and ran fans to ventilate the build­ing.

While standing by at the Belleville Fire Department head­quarters the evening of July 5 as Belleville personnel battled a fire in

that municipality, township, fire­fighters reportedly were called to the scene of a motor vehicle acci­dent where they spread absorbent on the roadway and prepared the vehicles for towing.

Firefighters were drawn to Route 78 July 7 around 8:50 p.m. to investigate a reported car fire. According to reports, they found a single car on the shoulder with its engine compartment fully engulfed in flame. They quickly extinguished the fire with water and prepared the vehicle for removal. The driver, fire personnel reported, safely escaped the blaze.

Firefighters were drawn to Fair- field Iferrace July 6 around 4:30 p.m. to investigate reports of downed wires.

They reportedly discovered a falling tree had pulled down a large number of service lines, including live electrical pow'er lines, across a metal fence.

Area residents were warned to stay out of then backyards until workers from JCP&L arrived to shut off power.

Firefighters investigating an acti­vated smoke detector in a locker room at Canoe Brook Countiy Club the evening of July 6 deter­

mined the alarm was set off by a man smoking a cigar while sitting under the detector.

Cigars being smoked in the club’s men’s locker room also acti­vated ceiling smoke detectors Sat­urday afternoon. According to reports, fire personnel used fans to clear the area of smoke and reset the alarm system.

After investigating’an activated carbon monoxide alarm on Dun­can Street July 7, firefighters report­edly fraccd the cause of the activa­tion to painting being done in the residence and to an open pan of paint stored near the alarm.

TRIO OF ADVISORS—Millburn High School graduate Anne site and online magazine. The venture offers support to other Cipriano Venzon, right, joins two friends, Carol Tutero, at left, stay-at-home mothers running home-based businesses, and Barbara Carlstrom, in .uniting CarpoolCapitalists, a Web including an advice column.

MHS grad starts Web site for working momsBy Patricia Harrisof The ttem

Miilbum High School graduate Anne Cipriano Venzon knows the pitfalls of being a stay-at-home mother running a home-based business, and she’s sharing her knowledge with other would-be entrepreneurs.

For many years, Venzon, a 1969 MHS graduate, edited, indexed and wrote historical manuscripts from her home while raising her two children, now 23 and 19 years old. On the soccer sidelines and at school events, she often shared practical tips with other mothers juggling the demands of their fam­ilies and businesses.

About four years ago, Venzon joined two friends to impart some of their hard-earned wisdom, writ­ing a book and launching an on­line magazine, Carpoolcapital- ists.com. The site has been in oper­ation for about six months and includes an advice column, activi­ties for the family and lists of help­ful resources.

“We definitely saw a market for our product,” Venzon said in a tele­phone interview from her Bethes- da, Md., home. “We were meeting a lot of women who were pregnant

and wanted to stay home with their young children, although they needed the income from a job. We said, ‘We’ve been there!”

Venzon and her two friends, Barbara Carlstrom, an opera singer, and Carol Tutera, a jewelry designer, spent two years inter­viewing individuals from across the country who shared their success stories. The trio then spent anoth­er year and a half writing a book, “Carpool Capitalists: Home with Kids and Career.”

The women decided their audi­ence is computer-sawy and would appreciate being able to read the book online. That realization led to the hiring of a Web master and the launching of the Web site, www. CarpoolQptialists.com.

“We even have an advice col­umn,” Venzon noted, adding with a laugh, “Who ever thought I’d be a ‘Dear Abby?’”. Venzon usually writes the first

draft of the advice column, then runs it by the other two women. If they disagree, the group hashes out a response, although “as three dif­ferent women, with three different sets of experiences and education­al backgrounds, if we come up with the same answer, we feel comfortable we’re on track,” Ven­zon said.

In one recent column, she responded to a subscriber who said she feels guilty that now that she works from home, she doesn’t feel like cooking. Venzon advised the reader, “You don’t have to be Julia Childs,” and suggested the family would be satisfied with simple, nutritious meals. Venzon also sug­gested it is cheaper to eat at home, rather than going out to ea t

On another, more serious issue, she advised a reader on handling a mother-in-law who resented a cou­ple’s decision that the wife work from home. Venzon advised the woman to not say anything, but rather let her husband confront his mother, saying firmly, “We decided that’s what’s good for us.”

To date, the Web site has received more than 70,000 hits, and sub­scriptions to the online magazine- which costs approximately $20 for the first year and $15 for succeeding years-have grown exponentially, according to the author.

Venzon holds a doctorate degree in military history from Princeton University. She was hard at work as a researcher when her first child was horn, and she had every intention of going back to work, she said. The satisfaction of being with her child, however, prompted her to stay at home with

her newborn.Not willing to abandon her

career entirely, Venzon began con­sulting at home for an academic publishing company. She built a business editing and indexing his­torical monographs, and along the way, found time to do her own writing and lecturing.

Some of the books the military historian has written are “General Smedley Darlington Butler, Letters of a Leatherneck,” “From Whale­boats to Amphibious Warfare: L t Gen. ‘Howling Mad’ Smith and the U.S. Marine Corps” and “The United States in the First World War, An Encyclopedia.”

Venzon continued her career through the birth of a second child and moves from Philadelphia, Pa., to Seattle, Wash., and to the sub­urbs of Washington, D.C. Working at home was mpre challenging when her children were young, she noted, although she managed to work at least half time by taking advantage of naptimes, evenings and weekends. When her children began school, she worked during school days.

The hardest part of the job, she said, has been to educate others about respecting her work time and allowing her to return phone calls during non-work hours.

Bipolar disorder subject of book by EronBy Patricia Harrisot The Item

If Judy Eron, a 1966 Millburn High School graduate, can spare others from the bitter experience she suffered in dealing with a loved one’s mental illness, she will con­sider her struggles worthwhile.

Eron’s book about bipolar dis­order, “What Goes Up: Surviving the Manic Episode of a Loved One,” has just been published, and Eron is on a national tour to pro­mote the book. She will be speak­ing Monday evening from 7:30 to 9 p.m. at the First Congregational Church in Montclair, at a support group of the Depression and Bipo­lar Support Alliance of Essex County.

An estimated 2.5 million Amer­icans have bipolar disorder, for­merly luiown as manic-depressive disorder, although the actual num­ber maybe two to three times high­er because as many as 80 percent

of people with the illness go undi­agnosed or misdiagnosed, accord­ing to Eron’s publicist, Jen Itske- rich of Barricade Books.

Eron’s bipolar husband, Jim, look his life in 1997, after com­ing down from a Full-blown manic ipisode that last­ed a year. Eton, a licensed social worker mid psy­chotherapist, j udy Eron Failed to recog­nize the severity of his situation ind take appropriate action in time to help him avoid the depression that inevitably followed and led tb iiis suicide.

“Sometimes I get horrified at my gnorance,” Eron said this week in i telephone interview. She said few mote existed on the subject of bipolar disorder at the time, iltbough more have been pub- ished in recent years. Despite her training as a mental health profes­

sional, and her late husband’s training as a psychologist, they failed to seek the medical and pro­fessional help that might have saved him, she said.

Eron described her book as both a memoir and self-help book, in which she relates her own expe­rience, as culled from journals she kept, and offers specific advice. She includes suggestions on what to expect from someone in the midst of a manic episode, how to engage with the person, how to attain help and how to maintain one’s own sanity and strength in the face of such unpredictable and intense behavior.

“A lot is up to family members, who should make a pact with their loved one to notice when his or her behavior is going off and take action to intervene before the per­son becomes too resistant,” the author said.

Eron spent two years writing her book, which she started in 2002. The manuscript was accept­

ed for publication by one of the owners of a small, nonfiction pub­lishing house who found it on her desk tiie day after her best friend suffered a psychotic episode, according to Eron.

Eron, who grew up in the town­ship and was valedictorian of her high school class, lives in the remote mountain desert of southwest Texas, in a home she and her late husband built in 1993 with their own hands. She presently works for a local hospice and nursing home, dealing with end-of-life issues.

She is also a singer and song­writer, with several recordings to her credit, including “I Can’t Believe That Was Me,” “Reach Across the Miles” and “You Made It Through Today.”

She has co-written several musi­cals, including “The Business of Marriage” and “Deadline.” She attended New York University's Tisch School of the Arts and received a master’s degree in musi­cal theater writing in 1999.

□PINIONBalancing act

Once again, we as a nation felt imperiled last week.We watched in horror as bombs tore apart the under­

ground transportation system in London, England, and destroyed a London bus.

We reacted with grief and sympathy and sadness at the loss of life an ocean away from us and learned in the days that followed of Americans w ho joined British citizens in death, in addition to other multi-nationals.

D eath was not partisan in London last week. Neither were the suicide bombers w ho set the grisly killing machine in motion.

O ur government responded by raising the terror alert level in this county to orange for the national transporta­tion system. This means greater surveillance on trains, and greater security at our ports and on our waterways.

At the same time that safekeeping measures have been enhanced, however, public officials have openly acknowl­edged the gaps in our system of providing security for our mass transit infrastructure.

W hile safe passage is a primary concern throughout this country of ours, the fact is the Northeast Corridor is the m ost heavily reliant on mass transportation of any region in the United States.

And in the Northeast Corridor sits New Jersey, the nation's most densely populated state.

Therefore, we are puzzled by the decision Tuesday to change the formula for configuring the distribution of Hom eland Security funds to individual states. The Sen­ate voted 71-26 to pass an amendment proposed by Sen. Susan Collins,of Maine.

Two weeks ago, New Jersey received word it would receive approximately $21.7 million in Homeland Secu­rity grants. Of that share, $2 million is going to Essex County, which is the largest beneficiary in the state. H ie reason is that Essex is the most densely populated among New Jersey’s 21 counties.

New Jersey faces threats on its extensive rail system, at its ports, and through its heavy industrial, chemical and pharmaceutical sites. This is all in addition to a busy inter­national airport.

We are seriously at risk.Yet, the U.S. Senate voted Tuesday to reduce the risk

impact on the formula for apportioning Homeland Secu­rity funding to states from 70 percent to 60 percent.

We understand there has to be a balance in distributing this funding. All citizens have the right to protection, regardless of the size of their state’s population.

Risks must be addressed, however, and the higher the risk, the greater the need for proactive measures.

This latest decision by our elected officials goes against the findings of the 9/11 Commission on which former N.J. Gov. Thomas Kean served.

It goes against the efforts of Sen. Frank Lautenberg, who proposed a counter amendment that was defeated. It reportedly goes against the wishes of our president and our Homeland Security chief.

It definitely goes against logic.

Letters to the editor

Topics o f concern to readersSchool bond

Editor, The Item:As co-chairman of the Millbum

Middle School Long Range Plan­ning Committee, I feel compelled to speak out and counter some of the misinformation that has been circulating in the community recently.

My committee worked very hard over the course of a year to thoroughly examine all the issues that needed to be addressed as the middle school population contin­ues to increase. Anyone who has read our report knows we diligent­ly explored every option that is still being discussed and proposed by certain members of our communi­ty

Every member of our committee agreed the middle school is cur- rently functioning beyond any rea­sonable capacity. We all were impressed with how well the out­standing administrators are able to

manage with the present popula­tion. However, in September 2008, when the current third graders arrive, there will be no place left to shoehorn in all the children who will be enr olled.

The architects and administra­tors have told us that if the pro­posed bond issue is approved in December, new construction will be ready for occupancy by that time. The solution may not be a perfect one, but it truly is the only one that will preserve the qualify and atmosphere of the middle school, where students feel a sense of community within their teams of 100 to 120 students. It’s an atmos­phere where younger students have the opportunity to interact with, and be mentored by, older students, where every student can participate in the musical, write for the school paper, play in the band or orchestra, or sing in the chorus. Students can bond with a guidance counselor who will help them

Green appliances perfect for any decor

T T J E m iT E M -

B y M ic h e le S . B y e rsExecutive DirectorNew Jersey Conservation Foundation

We’ve come a long way with appliance colors. Some central air units are available in eight different colors and finishes to match your home.

So when it comes to household appliances, “It’s time to bring back green!” OK, maybe not the “avo­cado green” of the 1970s that drove us into support groups, but “green” appliances that save ener­gy, reduce pollution and put mon­ey back into your wallet.

According to the Energy Star program of the U.S. Department of Energy and Environmental Pro­tection Agency (EPA), the average family spends $1,500 each year on energy bills; and 45 percent of this goes to heating and cooling.

So if you have old (10-years or more) or broken-down central air equipment, consider new equip­ment that meets the Energy Star

maintained. In general, you’ll make up for the added costs by having longer-lasting appliances that use less energy. Adding insulation and air sealing also helps your home maintain its temperature better. You can turn down your overall air conditioning and use Energy Star rated ceiling fans to make rooms feel a few degrees cooler. ’

Clothes washers and dryers also take a significant bite out of our energy budgets, averaging 10 per­cent o f energy expenses. Lighting accounts for 7 percent, dishwash­ers and home entertainment sys­tems average 2 percent of energy expenses.

Energy Star clothes washers can save more than $100 per year. They are designed to use 50

through their three-year journey to acquire the skills they will need to succeed in high school.

As the mother of two seventh graders and a 10th grader, I am commencing my fifth year as a middle school parent I am extremely impressed with how my eldest was prepared for the chal­lenges of the high school, and bow comfortable my younger twins were throughout their first year at the school. I can also say that all my children were more than ready to leave Deerfield School after six years of being in the same building with the same classmates and the same social pecking order. They have all enjoyed forging new friendships with a more diverse group of children.

It is heartening to see so many people showing interest in the future of education in our commu­nity. But I find it very offensive to myself, my committee, the Board of Education, and Superintendent of Schools Richard Brodow, when the work we have all done over the course of a year and a half is ignored and dismissed.

Our group membership. was open to the public. Our group

'included a broad spectrum of com­munity members, from newcomers to long-time residents, parents of preschoolers to parents of high schoolers. The process was an open one, and now the time has cpne for the community to accept our findings, as the Board of Edu­cation and administration have, and unite in support of our chil­dren.

A woman’s right to choose, a precedent for more than 30 years and a right which we often take for granted, could easily be lost with file appointment of a justice in the mold of recent conservative nom­inees.

Great celebration

Editor, The Item:On behalf of the Millbum-Short

Hills Fourth of July Committee I would like to extend our thanks and appreciation to all those who helped make the 61st annual July Fourth celebration an enjoyable day for all.

The committee would like to recognize the cooperation, time and effort offered by the Depart­ment of Parks and Recreation that allowed us to turn Taylor Park into a fun amusement park. The activi­ties in the park were also enhanced by the participation of Cub Scout Pack 17 and Boy Scout Troop 17, the Millbum-Short Hills Volunteer First Aid Squad, the crew from the Department of Public Works as well as by the members of the Mill­bum-Short Hills police and fire departments. Thanks as well to the

year ago, in April 2004, that more Board of Education for granting than a millionpeople assembled in use of the high school for the fireWashington, D.C., for the “March for Women’s Lives.”

We came in all variations-fami- lies with husbands and wives,

18 to 25 gallons of water per load, compared to the 40 gallons used by a standard machine.

Energy Star does not label efficiency standards. You’ll use at clothes dryers because they all use least 20 percent less energy. Given pretty much the same amount of

percent less energy than standard mothers and daughters, and sons, washers. In addition, they use only too, grandparents and grandchil

We proved women are not will­ing to give up their reproductive rights. Although many anti-abor­tionists are eager to equate “pro- choice” with “anti-life,” the vast majority of women believe that they, themselves, are capable of making their own decisions. These decisions are indeed difficult, but it is the freedom of choice that we refuse to put into the hands of the government. It is a privacy issue, much the same as the decision to use birth control, which before 1965 was illegal.

The building still stands at the comer of Millbum Avenue and Main Street and it seems it commanded much attention after it was built. The right half of the back of the postcard has this handwritten message: “Excuse this card for I wanted to send you the view of our bank and this is the only view I could get.

Iraq war

Editor, The Item:Hie Mainstream Media (MSM)

and the liberal leaders in the U.S. House and Senate want U.S. forces out of Iraq like I want a hole in the head. If they really wanted us out they would be teilmg just the good news from over there instead of

just the bad news.By always reporting just the bad

news, the enemy is encouraged to continue with its attacks. But by telling just the good news, the ene­my will lose any hope of a success, thus leading to the end of the war. But even before the Vietnam War, it was proven there are more prof­its to be made from reporting bad news.

The liberal leaders in the House and Senate have become “useful idiots” for the MSM and want to water down 9/11, because it near­ly happened on their watch.

She should be someone who has dedicated herself, personally or profession­ally, to improving the lives of oth­ers in the community.

Newark Emergency Services for Families, Inc., and the Saint Barn­abas Hospice and Palliative Care Center.

Last year’s Women of Vision Community Awards Luncheon, at the Pleasantdale Chateau in West Orange, honored local phil­anthropists Joan Daeschler, Juani­ta Dennis, and Sarah Rosen. The event featured fashion designer, author and lifestyle guru Cynthia Rowley as guest speaker.

The Junior League of the Oranges and Short Hills was founded in 1913 to serve the communities of East Orange, Liv­ingston, Maplewood, Miilbum, Orange, Short Hills, South Orange, Springfield and West Orange. Its members are com­mitted to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving commu­nities through the effective action and leadership of trained volun­teers.

EDUCATIONGabby’s notebook

Millburn High School interns work in real-life hospital dramas

G a b b yM c G iy n n

By Gabby McGIynnfor The Item

If it had not been for their famil­iar faces, I might have mistaken the four MiUburn High School interns for doctors when I visited St. Barnabas Medical Cen­ter in Liv­ingston July 5.Jill Deutsch,Stephanie Chang, Jianan Hu and David Spelt- tor were pro­fessional in both demeanor and appearance when they met with me in the vol­unteer office at the hospital.

As part of the high school’s sum­mer internship program, the stu­dents will spend the. month of July working alongside health care pro­fessionals while observing the day- to-day activities in various units throughout the hospital. Jill and Stephanie are in the operating room (OR), Jianan in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and David in the radiation oncology unit

Jill and Stephanie are responsi­ble for preparing the operating rooms before surgeries take place. They maintain 18 rooms, where 40 to 50 operations are done on a typ­ical day. Nurses handle sterile

equipment, but the girls prepare the beds, arrange suction cups, sup­ply water, and restock all supplies.

Hie highlight of their internship experience so far came when they were allowed to witness their first operation.

“It was the first time I had seen a real surgery" Jill said. “I was sur­prised how close they let us get We stood right at the head of a man while the sutgeon performed open- heart surgery."

Stephanie was equally thrilled by the opportunity. “The only downside was that we had to wear protective goggles because of blood splashes,” she said. “Since we were on stools, we also had to be care­ful because if we leaned forward too far we could have fallen right on the man.”

Jianan, interning in a less inva­sive unit, is working with new'boms in the NICU. She works primarily with premature babies. The unit is set up into 3 levels. The largest room is the intensive care unit and the two smaller rooms are for more stable babies. The most stable room, Room 3100, is for three- pound babies who are almost healthy enough to he released from the hospital.

Jianan will follow the progress of a single female baby over the course of her internship. Ib is baby, bom on Jianan’s first day at the hospital, was delivered premature­ly at 25 weeks rather than the nor­mal 40 weeks.

Jianan watches the nurses con­nect rvs to the babies, operate oxy­gen machines and feed the new­borns fats and nutrients to speed their growth. She commented, “I consider myself lucky because the nurses will stop and explain proce­dures to me. I’m not treated like a high school student.

“It’s somewhat of a personal experience too,” she stressed. “It’s a huge relief when a baby recovers from a fever. Watching a baby get

well is my favorite part.”David, the only intern donning a

lab coat in place of scrubs, spends his time in the radiation oncology unit He spends every morning in the conference room. Here, he lis­tens as doctors discuss treatment plans and CAT scan results. They also discuss changes in the levels of radiation administration.

“Listening in on the morning discussions is the best part of my day,” David said. “For instance, I

Wyoming School teacher will study tropical birds

Joan Rosenberg, a Spanish and English As a Second Language (ESL) teacher at Wyoming School has been awarded a grant by the Geraldine R Dodge Foundation to study tropical birds in Mindo, a small town in western Ecuador.

Working with Constance “Dusti” Becker of the University of New Mexico in cooperation with the Earth Watch Institute, Rosen­berg will assist in the analysis of indigenous bird populations’ adap­tation to human development pressures in Ecuador’s dry and wet climatic zones. The study will also assess the potential for develop­ment of an eco-tourism industry in the region.

Rosenberg, who served in the Peace Corps in the 1970s in Brazil, is fluent in Spanish and Por­tuguese. Besides teaching Spanish to elementary school children and helping non-native students improve their English, she also is the adult education lead teacher in the ESL program at the Morris County School of Technology in Denville.

“I’m excited to be invited to par­ticipate in this long-term research project that supports an important environmental issue-preservation of rain forest habitats,” Rosenberg said. “I’m looking forward to being able to share this wonderful expe­rience with my students, the staff at Wyoming School and the commu­nity.”

EarthWatch Institute offers opportunities in the field of experi­ential education and allows volun­teers to broaden their understand­ing of sustainability and support conservation. For more informa­tion about the organization, visit

Personal trainer expands services, adds kids program

Six years ago, Steve Puryear, a former Divison I football player at Arizona State University, had out­grown his in-home personal train­ing business in northern New Jer­sey.

“My client list was expanding rapidly so I needed a centrally locat­ed studio to accommodate them,” he said. Putyear chose Short Hills to open up Professional Health & Fit­ness, a personal training only studio.

One of the unique features of Professional Health & Fitness is its size. At 2,400 square feet, it is dwarfed by the larger gyms in the area.

“I preferred a more intimate per­sonal training studio to that of a large open gym. 1 feel my clients and trainers are better served that way. IPs more personal’' Puryear said.

Since its opening, the company has expanded into nutrition coun­seling, one-on-one Pilates, boxing and yoga. According to Puryear, even with his ever-expanding ser­vices, his clients were still asking him for more ways to exercise and stay motivated. His answer: PHF Fitness Studio Inc., a fitness center solely dedicated to supervised exer­cise classes.

“Open gyms are great for some,

but many people enjoy the direc­tion, attention and motivation that come from a studio atmosphere” Putyear said.

PHF Fitness Studio Inc. is dedi­cated to serving these people. The grand opening will be held in mid- September, with pre-sales begin­ning now. With its revolutionary Hoggan “Sprint” Circuit Training equipment, clients can now get a total body workout in 45 minutes, including their cardio. This non­stop exercise class accommodates all fitness levels.

By far the most exciting news coming from PHF Fitness Studio Inc. is the Kids Fun and Fitness pro­gram. Children ages 7 and older will have their very own circuit training room. Sony, mom and dad, no par­ents allowed. Children are more sedentary today than ever before. Cardiovascular fitness, flexibility, strength, balance and weight man­agement are all suffering because of this.

Professional Health & Fitness and PHF Fitness Studio Inc. are located at 511 Millbum Ave. in Short Hills. If you have any ques­tion regarding die programs offered you can contact Puryear at (973) 379-5444.

SAM technique offers hope to patients in chronic pain

Dr. Richard Ziemldewicz of The SAM Croup in Elizabeth special­izes in a little known physical med­icine technique that has been used since the early 1930s. His updated foim of the chiropractic procedure is now growing in popularity and helping people throughout the northern New Jersey area finally beat chronic pain.

The SAM Technique, or Seda­tion Assisted Manipulation (SAM), is a powerful, non-invasive proce­dure designed to specifically treat chronic and acute conditions such as neck pain, back pain, joint pain, muscle spasm, shortened muscles, fibrous adhesions and scar tissue surrounding the spine.

For the growing number of chi­ropractic and physical therapy patients, including a high percent­age of athletes and accident vic­tims, who cannot find relief through conventional treatinents and wish to avoid more invasive procedures, The SAM Technique, combined with consistent but sim­ple post procedure treatment and exercise, can eliminate or greatly reduce pain and restore or greatly improve range of motion.

Studies have shown that The SAM Technique is so incredibly

effective that patients usually need just three short procedures (per­formed over the course of three consecutive days) to achieve pro­found relief. Recoveiy time is much faster than with more inva­sive treatments, allowing patients of SAM to get back to work and to the pleasure of living again, much sooner.

In addition, The SAM Tech­nique is cost effective, often costing thousands of dollars less than tra­ditional treatments. Most health insurance now covers most, if not all, of the procedure.

“1 urge anyone who has under­gone traditional treatments with little to no improvement and who is contemplating surgery in order to finally ease his or her pain, to learn more about Ih e SAM Tech­nique prior to making their final decision,” said Ziemkiewicz. “The professional staff at The SAM Group is here to serve you.”

Though based in Elizabeth, Ziemkiewicz has affiliated offices in Paramus, Englewood Cliffs, Sad­dle Brook, Succasunna and Union.

Orthodontist recognized as a top Invisalign doctorLocal orthodontist Dr. Michael

G. Steinberg of Millbum has been recognized as one of the top Invisalign doctors in North Ameri­ca and a member of the Align Cen­tury Club.

He is a member of the Invisalign Alpha Group, consisting of the most experienced Invisalign ortho­dontists. He is also a member of Align Technology’s Speaker's Bureau and lectures at workshops throughout the United States.

Steinberg is a certified mentor for doctors using Invisalign and he trains those doctors who wish to become certified to use Invisalign.

Each year, Align Technology Inc., the inventor of Invisalign, a clear, removable method of straightening teeth without wires and brackets, awards the Century Club distinc­tion to the top 100 invisalign prac­titioners in the United States and Canada, out of more than 7,000 doctors who use Invisalign.

Qualification is based on the number of new Invisalign patients each doctorstarted in treatment the previousyear. Align announced this year’sCenturyCIubmembersatthe 104th annual session of the Amer- ican Association of Orthodontists,

hfeld earlier last month in San Fran­cisco, Calif. Steinberg was again recognized as a Century Club mem­ber for 2004. He has been a mem­ber of the club for the past four years.

“Inclusion in the Align Century Club indicates that my staff and I have made a real commitment in incorporating this exciting treat­ment option into ourpractice" said Steinberg. “Our patients can be sure that I have the experience and con­fidence with Invisalign to help pro­vide themwith the best possible and most up to date orthodontic care.”

Ophthalmologist uses new technique for vision care using special laser process

In addition, Steinberg conducted an Invisalign “Ask the Expert" Web conference last week, titled “Trou­ble Shooting or Keeping Your Cas­es on Track.”

Steinberg has been practicing in Millbum for more than 30 years and has been treating patients with Invisalign since 1999. Invisalign is a nearly invisble, comfortable and convenient treatment option for patients who want straighter teeth. To learn more about Invisalign or to schedule a consultation, call Stein­berg at (973) 376-0496 or visit www.invisible.com.

A new all laser, bladeless laser vision correction procedure has recently been introduced to the area and a local ophthalmologist is among the first surgeons to offer this state of the art surgery to his patients.

Dr. Michael Farbowitz, senior ophthalmologist at Short Hills Ophthalmology, is now perform­ing bladeless Lasik using the Intralase FS laser.

“Lasik is a two-step procedure,” said Farbowitz. In the first step a flap is created and folded back to reveal the inner cornea. Next, an excimer laser is used to reshape the cornea, eliminating nearsighted­ness, farsightedness and astigma­tism. The flap is then replaced. Tra­ditionally, surgeons created the comeal flap using a hand held metal biade called a microker- atome.

With the advent of the Intralase FS laser, surgeons can now use a laser to create the flap. With micron level precision 100 times greater than a microkeralome, the LntraLase laser uses an infrared beam of light to create the flap from below the surface of the cornea. The laser is focused to a pre-programmed point within the central layer of the cornea where tiny two-to-three micron bubbles are precisely positioned to define the flap’s dimensions. The process takes about 45 minutes and then the surgeon lifts the flap to allow

for the laser vision correction treat­ment on the inner cornea.

‘Tm very excited about this new technology,” said Farbowitz. “The Intralase device affords me the ability to precisely design and locate the flap to my desired spec­ifications.” Patients with thin or steep corneas, who previously were not Lasik candidates may now be eligible for surgery. “My flaps have never looked better,” Farbowitz said.

“We will work hand in hand with you and anyone else on your health care team, including your doctor, to produce a personal treat­ment plan for each individual Hie cookbook approach to treatment just doesn’t work for everyone,” she said.

BOOK DRIVE—Hartshorn School students Chris Minter and Charlotte Greenberg sit among the bags and boxes of books collected by the Hartshorn School community for donation to Harrison School in Roselle. This marks the third year a book drive has been conducted for the Roselle elementary'' school’s benefit. Prior to the first drive, Harrison had no library at all. Now, it has a working library and some of the donated books have also been distributed to indi­vidual classrooms.

A BIG DONATION—During Flag Day celebrations last month at South Mountain School, members of the student council presented a check for $3,220 to Tim Pitts, a representative from the Save the Children Foundation. The money, which will be used to aid victims of December’s tsunami, was raised by South Mountain students who participated in a,“tsit-ups for tsunami” campaign. Handing over a facsimile of the check to Pitts are fifth grade teacher Tracy Freitag and students Audrey Gammel and Richard Eschenbach.

Foot Solutions promoting special mBT walking shoeThe right walking shoe can do

more than make your feet feel good. Swiss Masai has introduced its mBT shoe, a shoe that just might be helpful for backache, joint pain, forefoot pain and abdominal fat; You’ll find this revolutionary shoe at Foot Solutions.

Inspired by the Masai tribes of Kenya and Tanzania, where back and joint problems are virtually unknown, the shoe forces you to walk with an elegant upright pos­ture, strengthening the same mus­cles used in a heavy workout.

Professional athletes testify to the positive impact the mBT has on training, performance and recovery. Research has shown walking or jogging in mBT shoes uses up to five times more calories and increases the exercise effect times three, helping weight loss and cellulite reduction. The differ­ence is gentle, active rolling, not repeated compression.

The unique design of its multi­layered sole transforms flat, hard, artificial- surfaces into natural uneven surfaces, simulating the

New digital hearing aid

People with severe to profound hearing loss have always found it difficult to adapt to new and dynamic sound situations. Most of these people have had to accept continuous whistling, reduced power and distorted signals not to mention wearing large and rather bulky instruments. With Sumo DM this era has now come to an end.

Sumo DM from Oticon is unique, offering Dynamic Feed­back Cancellation, eliminating feedback instantly without reduc­ing power or distorting the signal.

“In high power hearing instru­ments, one of the most frustrating side effects for the user is feed­back,” said Elizabeth Cook, chief audiologist of Total Hearing Care. “With Sumo DM, hearing aid users will experience substantially fewer occurrences of feedback caused by smiling, a slight shift in position of an ear mold and even just chewing food.

“By solving this issue, Sumo DM improves the overall listening experience and satisfaction. The ability to perform everyday activi­ties and exploit the full range of the instrument’s volume control with­out the frustrating whistling will make a tremendous difference to the users' quality of life” said Cook.

Size and ergonomics are impor­tan t Being the smallest and light­est digital super power hearing instrument in the world, users can wear Sumo DM with comfort and confidence.

The benefits of these shoes are not confined to the feet but affect the whole physique giving your entire body a workout when you walk. They not only change the way you use your muscles, but also improve the use of your joints and spine. The uniquely designed sole, combined with correct training.

achieves a more active and healthy posture and walk. Every day, 10,000 shocks to your spine and other joints create feet and leg problems and a stooped, passive posture. But mBT relaxes your braced position, erects your verte­bral column and relieves your back, knees, pelvis and feet.

From the operating room to the radiation oncology unit, MHS stu­dents are getting hands on experi­ence in a typical day at the hospi­tal. Although the students are focused on different specialties, the

common denominator they all observe is the willingness of these professionals to share their knowl­edge with the next generation of doctors and nurses.

Young job-seekers being warned of employment scams by Better Business BureauIt is that time of year when

many college and high school graduates enter the world of work. Those that have not yet lined up a job may opt to use Internet resources to pursue job leads.

Online job searches can be an efficient and productive way to pursue employment. The Better Business Bureau of New jersey, however, cautions job seekers to avoid becoming targets for scam artists eager to take advantage of their inexperience.

In the payment-forwarding or payment-transfer scams, a con artist uses a job ad or information from a resume posted online to convince the job seeker he is a legitimate employer. Once he gains the victim's trust, he uses one of several ploys to request the job seeker’s bank account number. He may tell the job seeker he needs it to deliver his or her paycheck by “direct deposit,” or he may promise high wages for a job that involves forwarding, transferring or wiring

money from a personal bank account, a PayPal account, o r a Western Union to another account. The job seeker, as part of his or her pay, is instructed to keep a small percentage of the money (which can total hundreds of thou­sands of dollars) as payment. The money the victim transfers has invariably been stolen, so the job candidate ends up committing theft and wire fraud.

KITCHEN CABINETS 40% to 60% OFF fi• CUSTOM• STO CK •W OOD

The “personal invitation” scam­mer sends mass e-mails to iong lists of recipients. The e-mail claims to have seen the candidate’s resume on the Internet, notes his or her skills match the requirements for the job and invites the candidate to complete an online job application. The e-mail may say the invitation is in response to the resume the can­didate submitted for a job opening. If approached this way, the job

seeker should proceed with cau­tion. Is this a cold-contact e-mail from an unfamiliar business or per­son? Was application made for the job? Was a resume sent? The situ­ation can be checked by typing the company’s Web site address into the browser and contacting the company via telephone.

In the identification verification scenario, during the job application process, or prior to promising to

schedule a personal interview, a scam artist will say his business needs to scan the applicant’s dri­ver’s license, passport or other means of identification to verify identity. The scammer may even claim to need a bank account or credit card number to rim a credit

check before proceeding with the job application process. Other red flags for candidates are requests for a mother’s maiden name, a date of birth or a Social Security number. These are not legitimate requests and can be used to commit identi­ty theft

SPO RTSJunior League squad 3-0 in District 9 playBy Jim Connellyof T he Item

A four-run outburst in the first inning was more than enough for the Millbum-Short Hills Little League’s Junior League All-Stars in Saturday's District 9 Tournament contest against Kenilworth at the Pingry School’s township Hills campus.

Tyler Udland (3-1) picked up the win in relief of starter Keith Rush in Millbum’s 5-1 triumph.

The contest was moved to Mill- bum ’s home field after torrential rains this past Friday from rem­nants of Hurricane Cindy left Kenilworth’s diamond unplayable. Millbum was the visiting team in Saturday’s contest

Shortstop Danny Elkind drew a one-out walk to start Millbum’s (7- 1,3-0 District 9), first-inning rally. Elkind, with left fielder Chris Twombly standing in Lhe hatter’s box, stole second and advanced to third on a wild pitch. Twombly walked, bringing cleanup hitter Hennie Bosnian to the plate. Bosman, the right fielder, singled in Elkind with the game’s first ran. Twombly stopped at second.

Third baseman William Bonomo rapped a single to left. Twombly came in to score when Bonomo’s hit was misplayed for an error.

Rush walked to load the bases. Bosnian executed a straight steal of home, extending Miilbum’s lead to 3-0. First baseman Aaron Karl­sruher went down on strikes for the second out Bonomo, who had moved up to third on Bosman’s steal of home, scored Millbum’s fourth run of the inning on the

front end of a double steal attempt with Rush. Rush was retired for the third out

Rush ran into trouble in the fourth when he issued three con­secutive walks with one o u t Udland entered in relief of Rush and induced Kenilworth’s Matt Stafford to loft a fly to Twombly in left, Mike Laudayi scored on Stafford’s sacrifice fly, shaving Mill- bum’s lead to 4-1. Udland retired the next batter on an inning-end­ing comebacker.

Millbum regained its four-run advantage in the fifth.

Bosman opened the inning with a single, and with Bonomo at bat, stole second and advanced to third on a wild pitch. Bonomo sfruck out for the first ou t Bosman scored on Udland’s squeeze bunt Udland reached first safely for a bunt sin­gle.

Udland allowed just one hit, a one-out single in the fifth, in 3.2 innings of relief pitching. Rush worked the first 3.1 inning;, allow­ing one run on one h it Rush walked four and fanned one.

DIAMOND NOTES-Millbum has clinched a berth in the District 9 title game scheduled for 6 pan. Sunday against Elmora at the local Pingry campus. Should Millbum defeat Union (1-2 District 9) in Saturday’s 11 a.m. contest at Pin- gry to finish pool play at 4-0, Elmo­ra would have to beat Millbum twice to win the district crown. Should Millbum lose to Elmora, a coin flip would be used to deter­mine the site of the second game.

A Millbum loss to Union on Saturday would make Sunday’s contest with Elmora a winner- take-all showdown for the District 9 title.

M illbum Junior League team stuns Caldwell 6-5By Jim Connellyof The Item

Hennie Bosman’s two-run dou­ble capped a three-run rally in the bottom of the seventh inning, giving the Millbum-Short Hills Little League’s Junior League All-Star team a 6-5 win over Caldwell July 6 in a Summit Tri-County League contest.

Millbum (6-1,4-1 Summit Tri- County League) trailed 3-0 after one inning of the contest played at the Pingry School’s township cam­pus.

Millbum starter Aaron Silver- stein ran into immediate trouble as he allowed a walk and a single to Caldwell’s first two hitters. Silver- stein picked up the first out on a force play at third.

Caldwell scored all three of its runs following a throwing error by Millbum third baseman William Bonomo. Millbum’s third sacker stepped on third for the second out on a grounder by Caldwell’s cleanup hitter, but threw wildly to first in an unsuccessful attempt to turn an inning-ending double play. One run scored on the play. Vinnie Latorra followed with a two-run blast over the fence in right-center field..

Millbum got a run back in the bottom of the first

Shortstop Danny Elkind singled

and advanced on a walk to left field­er Chris Twombly. Elkind scored on an errant throw on a pickoffplay at second base.

Caldwell reached Silverstein for two more runs in the third.

A two-run rally in the bottom of the third started Millbum on the comeback trail.

Center fielder Chris Benedict led off the inning with a single. Back-to- back walks to Elkind and Twombly loaded the bases. Right fielder Bosman, batting cleanup, ground­ed to second. The throw to the plate was low, allowing Benedict to score. Elkind scored on Bonomo’s fielder’s choice grounder.

Udland started Millbum’s game­winning rally inflieseventh with his second single of the contest Bene­dict drew a one-out walk and Elkind followed with a single to load the bases. Twombly singled up the middle, driving in Udland and cutting Caldwell’s lead to 5-4.

Bosman, following a pitching change, rapped an 0-1 pitch up lhe right-center field gap for the game­winning two-bagger.

Udland (2-1) pitched three scoreless innings in relief of Silver- steintoeam the victory. Udland did not allow a h it fanned two and walked three.

DIAMOND NOTES-Millbum avenged its lone league loss with a 9 4 defeat of visiting North Cald­well bn July 5.

The focus of the golfing world will be on Baltusrol Golf Club next month when the renowned Springfield club hosts the 87th PGA Championship.

This week, township resident Anne O’Leary is enjoying her own moment in the sun.

O’Leary, a rising senior at Mill- bum High School, has qualified for the Westfield Junior PGA Cham­pionship. The 72-hole tournament began yesterday and is scheduled to run through Saturday at the Westfield Group Couniiy Club in Westfield Center, Ohio.

“I was so thrilled to qualify)’ said O’Leary, following her strong showing in the New Jersey Junior PGA Championship held July 5 and 6 at the TwinBrooks Country Club in Watchung.

“Even though I did not play my best, it was enough to gain entry into one of the most prestigious junior golf events in the country. I will be playing against the best junior golfers in the country with big galleries and plenty of televi­sion and media coverage. I just hope I don’t buff my tee shot off the first tee.”

O’Leary posted a 36-hole total of 163 on rounds of 83 and 80 to finish in second place in the girls 13 to 17 division behind 13-year- old phenom Sarah Brown of Oxford. Brown, who was unable to compete in this week’s national tournament,'fired rounds of 80-74 for a 36-hole total of 154. Kate Dumam (82-83-165) of Mendham took third place.

O’Leary was awarded a trophy for winning the girls’ 16- and 17- year-old division.

Past winners of the Westfield Junior PGA Championshipr include Kathy Baker-Guadagnino, the late Heather Farr, Vicki Goet- ze Ackerman, Brandi Burton, Cristie Kerr, Grace Park and Aree Song.

Baker-Guadagnino is a familiar

name to area golf fans as the win­ner of the 1985 U.S. Women’s Open at Balhisrol. Goetze-Acker- man is the only three-time cham­pion in the history of the tourna­ment, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year.

H ie tournament features cham­pions from each of the. PGA of America’s 41 sections as well as special invitees.

O’Leary, one of 57 girls taking part in this week’s tournament, was scheduled to play in the third- to-last pairing in yesterday’s first round.

Christina Hirano of Pinole, Calif., and Annemarie Kissane of Albany, N.Y., were scheduled to play with O’Leary yesterday.

Post 140 picked a bad time to go on its first extended losing streak of the Essex County American Legion Baseball League campaign.

Losses in three of its last four outing have put a serious dent in the Millbum squad's hopes of qual­ifying for the league’s post-season tournament

Millbum dropped its season- high third straight game, 2-0 to vis­iting Ironbound Monday night The loss dropped the local baseball squad to 8-7 with four regular sea­son contests remaining.

Six teams advance to post-sea­son play-the two division winners, the two division second-place fin­ishers and the teams with the third- and fourth-best records regardless of division.

Ten of the league’s 14 teams were involved in the playoff chase heading into this past Tuesday night's play.

Post 140, according to Dave Far­rell, one of the squad’s coaches, realistically needs wins in three of its final four games to clinch a play­off spot.

Millbum was scheduled to host Livingston Tuesday night and play two games yesterday, one against Caldwell and one against the Cougars (Montclair IGmberley). The regular season finale, a make­up of this past Friday’s rain out, is scheduled for 5:45 tonight against visiting West Orange.

Tim Mackessy of Post 140 was

the tough-hick loser Monday night The right-hander, who sports a sparkling 1.17 ERA, saw his record drop to 1-2 despite holding Iron- bound (104) to single runs in the third and fifth innings.

Mackessy also had two of the four hits by Millbum, which staged its best scoring threat in the bottom of the seventh.

Adam Kukoff doubled leading off the Millbum seventh. Derek Falcone walked.

Kukoff and Lance Kodish, run­ning for Falcone, each moved up a base onJBrandon Greenblatfs sac­rifice bunt

The game ended in bizarre fash­ion. Kevin McCarvilie was retired on a grounder to third for the sec­ond out. Kodish broke for third base, only to find Kukoff had not headed for home. Kodish was caught in a rundown for the final out

LEGION LINES-Millbumdropped two games on Sunday, 6- 2 to Belleville and 7-5 in 10 innings to Caldwell The Caldwell loss was a tough one to bear as Post 140 squandered a 5-2 lead in the top of the seventh.

Post 140 edged Livingston 2-1 Saturday in the completion of a June 29 contest that had been sus­pended byrain.

David Meyer (390, 13 RBI), Ben Weingarten (304), Mackessy (300,10 RBI), Greenblatt (.292), Josh Camitta (.273,10 RBI) and Mike Wissncr (nine RBI) were the team’s top offensive performers through the first 15 games of the campaign.

Little League 11-12 tournament squad opens season on 7-1 tear

Dorn Dasti tossed a complete game four-hitter and Brian Baker, belted a two-mn homer, propelling the MillbumShort Hills Little League’s 11 and 12-year-old tour­nament All-Star team to a New Jer­sey Little League District 9 regular- season opening 8-1 defeat of Hill­side on June 28.

Matt Seidmon went 3-for-4 with one run scored and an RBI for Millbum.

Dan Keller scattered three hits in a route-going effort and Mill- burn turned a pair of 4-5-3 double plays in a 5-0 rout of Mountainside on June 30.

Second baseman JefT Fischer, shortstop Matt Seidmon and first baseman Dylan Bailey were involved in both double plays. Millbum center fielder Tim Swan­son came through with two hits, two RBI and two runs scored.

Morris Dweck and lan Barry combined for a one-hit shutout in a 6-0 Millbum defeat of host Irv­ington on July 2. Seidmon home- red with a man aboard in the sec­ond.

Seidmon drove in Keller with a fifth-inning double, lifting Millbum to a 4-3 win over visiting Kenil­worth on July 3.

Millbum erased a 2-1 Kenil­worth lead in the home fourth on a double by Dasti, a walk to Brian Gordon and a two-run double by

Ben Vaccaro. Kenilworth came back to forge a 3-3 tie with a ran in the fifth.

Keller earned the victory in relief.

Three home runs, including a grand slam by Keller, propelled Millbum to its fifth straight win, a 6-1 rout of host Elmora in Eliza­beth.

Barry hit a solo homer in the second and Bailey added a solo blast in the third to give Millbum a 2-0 edge.

Kenilworth’s Matt DeRosa tagged Dasti for a solo shot in the bottom of the third, shaving Mill- bum’s lead to 2-1.

A double by Baker and walks to Chris Nicola and Swanson pre­ceded Keller’s sixth-inning grand slam.

Visiting Clark was never headed after scoring in the first and two in the second en route to dealing Millbum its first setback of the summer campaign, 6-2 on Satur­day.

Millburn scored twice in the third to reduce Clark’s lead to 3-2.

Swanson scored Millbum’s first run on a single by Seidmon. Seid­mon advanced to third on a Bailey single anscored on a steal of home. Pinch-runner Brian Gordon got caught in a rundown, allowing Sei­dmon to race home with Mill- bum’s second run.

Clark pushed across three runs on three hits in the fourth to build a four-run cushion. Clark pitcher Dom Feminello fanned 11 Mill- bum hitters in a route-going per- fonnanee.

Barry rapped out three hits and drove in five runs Sunday, pro­pelling Millbum to a 15-2 rout of visiting Elmora in,the first round of the District 9 Tournament playoffs.

Millbum and Clark entered this week’s action tied with 7-1 tourna­ment records in the chase for the District 9 title and spot in the next week’s Section 2 Tournament in Rutherford. Millbum, which was scheduled to play Mountainside this past Tuesday night, is slated to take on Clark this evening.

Elaine PruzonW hy The Luxury H om e

M arket Is StrongThe luxury home market has flourished

in the rich climate of the latest real estate expansion. Nationwide, real estate profes­sionals have reported a significant rise in luxury home sales in 2004, Here's why this segment o f the national housing market is enjoying such an active period.

Homeowners who have built up equity in their primary residential property are moving into the luxury category by purchase mg vacation homes in resort destinations or “buying up” to homes in better locations w ith improved amenities. In 2004, the largest quantity o f luxury properties sold in the $1 motion to 5 m illion range - the entry level o f luxury home ownership.

Luxury properties don't grow on trees, either. The inventory and selection o f high- end homes with beautiful views are limited in most parts o f the country, with the notable exception o f California and Florida, which offer a relative abundance o f ocean front homes priced in the millions. W ith a recov­ering economy supported by affluent b*y- boomers, the demand for luxury homes w ill only increase.

Being a Realtor* means more to me than selling houses. It’s about people, families and their hopes and dreams. For a relationship based on trust, knowledge ana expertise when buying or selling your next home, contact Elaine Pruzon at ColdweJI Banker 973- 715-8555.

Red Cross offers heat related tips

Heat waves can create real health risks for the elderly, children and people with respiratory prob­lems. The Millbum-Short Hills Chapter of the American Red Cross encourages residents to beat the heat this summer by getting training and becoming alert to the symptoms of heat related illnesses.

An American Red Cross first aid course helps teach people how to treat heat and other emergencies, Red Cross officials said. Everyone should know how to respond, because the effects of heat can hap­pen vety quickly. Watch for the fol­lowing health signals:

Heat cramps-Heat cramps are muscular pains and spasms due to heavy exertion. Although heat cramps are the least severe, they are often the first signal that the body is having trouble with the heat Get the person to a cooler place and have him or her rest in a comfortable position. Lightly stretch the affected muscle and replenish fluids. Give a half glass of cool water every 15 minutes. Do not give liquids with alcohol or caf­feine in them, as they can cause'- further dehydration and make con­ditions worse.

Heat exhaustion-The signs are cool, moist, pale, or flushed skin; heavy sweating; headache; nausea or vomiting; dizziness; and exhaus­tion. One’s body temperature may be normal, or is likely to be rising. Get the person out of the heat and into a cooler place. Remove or loosen tight clothing and apply cool, wet cloths such as towels or sheets. If the person is conscious, give cool water to drink. Make sure the person drinks slowly. Give a half glass of cool water every 15 minutes. Let the victim rest in a comfortable position, and watch carefully for changes in his or her condition.

Heat stroke-The signs are hot, red skin; changes in consciousness; rapid, weak pulse and rapid, shal­low breathing. Body temperature can be very high-scmetimes as high as 105 degrees Fahrenheit. If tire person was sweating from heavy work or exercise, skin may be wet; otherwise,’it will feel dry. Heat stroke is a life-threatening sit­uation. Help is needed fast Call 9- 1-1 in an emergency situation.

“Carolyn is our immediate for­mer president and has been an extraordinary force in the success of the MrUbum-Short Hills United Way over recent years;’ Harwood said at the presentation, which was held at the United Way’s new offices on South Willow Street

According to United Way Executive Director Frieda Zaf- farese, Ferolito helped guide the local United Way through a peri­od of substantial growth in the community. Among the high points of Ferolito's two presiden­cies, Zaffarese said, are the relo­cation of the United Way head­quarters and the establishment of a Community Needs Assessment Plan for the organization.

“No one of whom ! know has done more for our township and its volunteer activities than Car­olyn,” Zaffarese said.

C arolyn J . Ferolito

The United Way moved from the Amer­ican Red Cross Chapter House to temporary facilities on Millbum Avenue and then to its new building on South Willow

Street during Ferolito’s United Way presidency.

Her tenure also included estab­lishment of the first Community Needs Assessment, which brought together various representatives of the Millbum Township communi­ty to identify, and then act upon, the perceived needs of the entire township. The first multi-day meeting resulted in the establish­ment of medical transportation for disabled persons and homebound senior citizens.

It also resulted in expanded senior citizen household services and bill paying assistance, cur­rently under development

through SAGE, which is one of more than 20 services benefiting from local United Way contribu­tions.

Additionally, during Ferolito’s United Way presidency, the Mill- burn-Short Hills 9-11 fund was established and eventually con­tributed more than $75,000 to local residents impacted severely by the World Trade Center disas­ter.

Ferolito’s many leadership activities include being vice.chair- man of the Emergency Medical Services for Children Advisory Council, being a trustee of the Paper Mill Playhouse, and cur­rently serving as vice president, trustee of the Oratory Preparatory School in Summit

A native of Michigan and a local resident for 12 years, Feroli­to also volunteers at Wyoming Presbyterian Church. She is mar­ried to John M. Ferolito and is the mother of Jolm Jr., now attending secondary school.

The family resides on Hartshorn Drive.

“Ruthi’s background brings a valuable different perspective to the management of our board,” said Terry L.

While working with the Garden State Cancer Center, she led the formation of GSCC Foun­dation’s Board of Trustees.

A veteran of the boardroom, Byrne currently serves on a num­ber of board, including the New Jersey State Chamber of Com­merce, the advisory boards of Rut­gers Business School, New Jersey Medical School, the Center for Civic Responsibility and the Paper Mill Playhouse.

EXAMINING DAMAGE—Township resident Vic Benes, left, and Maplewood resident Dennis Percher, members of the South Mountain Conservancy, walk through the South Moun­tain Reservation as they consider methods of erosion control

Adam Anik/staff photographer

for a gully that has formed in the Locust Grove area of the Reservation. Benes and Percher have been instrumental in securing funds for the rehabilitation of the county-owned parkland.

TeamsContinued from Page A1

Open Space Trust Fund monies miglit be returned to you,’” the deputy mayor said, referring to a tax residents have been paying to the county for the past five years.

In selecting the sites for investi­gation, Bate called on township resident Vic Benes, a board mem­ber of the South Mountain Con­servancy who is knowledgeable about the reservation. The two men visited a number of sites before the July 6 meeting.

One of die sites under consid­

eration is a deer paddock off Crest Drive that is sitting unused. Other sites are Locust Grove, on Glen Avenue across from (he town­ship’s library, and the Shady Nook area off Cherry Lane north of South Orange Avenue. Three other sites are located on Cherry View Drive, a blocked-off street in the Oakdale area south of North- field Avenue.

In related news, Bate reported the council of the township of West Orange has unanimously passed a resolution urging the county to create a dog park. He said he supplied copies of Mill- bum’s resolution, adopted in May,

to the three other communities connected to the reservation, and is still waiting to hear if Maple­wood and South Orange have passed similar resolutions.

Bate said the county has already built its first dog park in Watsessing Park in Bloomfield, and Executive Joseph DiVincenzo has publicly expressed an interest in creating others.

Jennifer Duckworth, a member of the Environmental Commis­sion whose original proposal pro­vided a basis for the July 6 meet­ing, said dog parks have been growing in popularity over the past 15 years. There are now

more than 600 parks nationwide, she said, and more than 20 in New Jersey. Nearby parks include Echo Lake in Union County, East Hills Park in Livingston and Colo­nial Park in Somerset, as well as the new one in Watsessing, she said.

Duckworth is pleased with township dog owners’ response to her initial concept

“The more people who take ownership of the project, the more people will take responsibil­ity for keeping it clean, ensuring the signage is maintained and keeping the park stocked with garbage bags,” she said.

PROPOSED SITES—Four areas being investigated as possi­ble locations for a dog park in South Mountain Reservation include 1) the unused deer paddock on Crest Drive, 2) three

sites in the Oakdale section off Cherry Lane, 3) the Shady Nook area off Cherry Lane, and 4) the Locust Grove area off Glen Avenue.

able to schoolchildren and other residents of the community.”

The company also claims the woods have been the scene of vagrant activity, such as underage drinking, and the added lighting and walkways would make die site safer for residents.

The company is scheduled to appear in municipal court Aug. 23 to respond to the citations, but

Andrew Lane, the attorney repre­senting Stone Mountain, indicated the company hoped to present its proposal at a Township Committee before the court date.

“We’re optimistic we can reach an amicable resolution with the town and our neighbors,” Lane said. “We think the lighting and other things are a plus.” Lane indi­cated Tuesday that company rep­resentatives hoped to appear at the Township Committee meeting scheduled for Aug. 16.

The company is unlikely to have

that opportunity. Timothy P. Gor­don, the township business admin­istrator, said later in the day, “The Township Committee is not going to entertain any appearance by Stone Mountain Properties. We’re going to order them to take every­thing out.”

By “everything,” Gordon said he wanted the lighting and new path­ways removed and the path returned to its original state.

Gordon said the company was trespassing when it began con­struction of the second pathway

and referred to a map drawn by a local engineering firm at Stone Mountain’s request that shows the majority of the work has been done on township property. ■

Lane had no comment Tuesday afternoon on Gordon’s decision.

For her part, Colrick said yes­terday, “I’m very happy the Town­ship Committee could respond so quickly to the situation. Hie con­struction was disruptive to the environment and certainly taking away from the fact it is a preserve area.”

LocalContinued from Page A1

announced that Essex County was receiving approximately $2 million in homeland security tending. The money comes from the $21.7 mil­lion allotted by the federal govern­ment to New Jersey this year.

Essex County received the most of any of the state’s 21 counties, according to Gary Chin, the direc­tor of Homeland Security for the Essex County Sheriff’s Office.

“Essex County is the most densely populated county,” Chin said. “It also contains numerous sites identified as ‘critical infra­

structure sites.’ Two million dollars is not a lot when you have multi­sites.”

In past years, Chin said, Home­land Security funding provided equipment for first responders, such as police and other emer­gency services.

“For 2005, the strategy has changed,” he said. “Now the strat­egy is to dedicate money to assist private companies on the critical infrastructure list.” Some of the funds, Chin added, will be used specifically to provide additional security for Hie Mall at Short Hills.

For security reasons, Chin would not elaborate on measures that might be taken at the mall or other facilities, but he did say lim­

iting access, through use of barri­ers, and increasing surveillance were ways an otherwise soft target can be hardened against a terror­ist attack.

Despite the amount of Home­land Security funding received, state officials are disappointed with the monetary assistance allocated to New Jersey, the nation’s most densely populated state. New Jer­sey also is home to numerous chemical plants and refineries as well as an international airport and major shipping facilities around the port of New York.

According to Chin, state Attor­ney General Peter Harvey and act­ing Gov. Richard Codey have peti­tioned the federal Homeland Secu­

rity secretary, Michael Chertoff to review the formula for determining how much financial assistance is provided to a state.

On Tuesday, however, the Sen­ate voted to reduce the amount of Homeland Security funding based on risk assessment Under the approved amendment, the amount of Homeland Security grant mon­ey based on risk drops from 70 to 60 percent The new plan calls for the balance of tends to be divided among the states by a formula that provides each state with a share of the tending.

An amendment presented by New Jersey Sen. Frank Lautenberg to increase the share of tending based on risk was defeated.

Wednesday, July 27, at 7 pan. atTur- tie Back Zoo. Benes and Percher, who have been consulted during the drafting of the professional plan, are waiting to review the rec­ommendations.

“We want to be involved,” Benes said this week in discussing the Conservancy's role in determining where the funds will be spent

Ib is spring he met with the engi­neers and county officials to con­sider sites in the south end of the reservation where restoration could begin. The group looked through the Locust Grove section, located off Glen Avenue near the township’s library, and selected an area above and to the left of the parking lot, the site of an old quar­ry

Percher said he and Benes are listed as co-project managers on the Green Acres grant applications and the Conservancy has oversight responsibilities.

“We want to evaluate their pro­posals,” Percher said, noting he hopes to establish an advisory board within the Conservancy that can offer expert opinion. “We’re a credible advocacy group.”

Daniel Salvante, director of the county’s Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs, said this week Conservancy mem­bers continue to be an integral part of the county’s planning process and the July 27 meeting is being held to keep all parties informed.

The South Mountain Conser­vancy has been in existence for about five years, with a focus on collecting trash, controlling trail erosion, planting trees and con­ducting hikes. In recentyears, how­ever, the organization has been strengthened as a fund-raising enti­ty

Approximately a year and a half ago, as part of a larger effort to rehabilitate parks throughout the county, DiVincenzo approached a number of nonprofit conservancy groups with the concept of joining with the county to acquire Green

Acres funding He had successfully partnered with a handful of can-, servancy groups in the preceding year.

Benes and the Conservancy’s president, Sydell Rabin of West Orange, attended a meeting with county officials and learned the group had only 10 days in which to write a first draft of their applica- tion.

Percher, who a t that time was handling public relations for the group, wrote the application with the aid of Benes, who had a hands- on knowledge of deterioration of the reservation. The application was filed under the ip n c of Friends of Essex Parks, air affiliate of the South Mountain Conservan­cy that holds nonprofit 501.cT sta­tus, in partnership with the Essex County Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs.

During the writing process, Percher learned the Green Acres grant would not pay for the devel­opment of a long-range plan to guide the expenditure of funds, which he and others viewed as vital. He' then wrote a proposal for a long-range plan, to which coun­ty officials agreed. DiVincenzo told The Item last year he is committed to spending as much as $300,000 for the plan, if need be.

In its advocacy efforts, the con­servancy has received support from Township Committee members Salvatore Bate and Mary McNett Bate, who serves as deputy mayor, introduced a resolution in 2003 urging the county to rehabilitate the reservation using funds collect­ed in its Open Space Trust Fund. The Township Committee unani­mously passed the resolution, and Bate encouraged the three other townships containing portions of, or adjacent to, the reservation- West Orange, Maplewood and South Orange-to pass similar res­olutions, which they did.

In 2004 Bate and McNett brought in a second resolution urg­ing the county to use Open Space trust funds to develop a long-term plan. The Committee unanimously passed the resolution, and the three other towns followed suit.

3 questions contractors don’t want you to ask!Windows need replacing now...in the next few months? They're drafty, hard to open, or look terri­ble? Here are 3 questions to ask before you buy.I'm Randy Leeds; the owner of Thermo-Tite, the largest w indow replacement company in the tri-state area. W hat makes us unique is how w e answer these questions. Ultimately its w hy our customers save money and avoid common problems.

mmBays • Bows • Double Hung • Casement • Tilt&Slide

Most contractors do siding, roofs,' and now windows. At Thermo- Tite w e only do windows! A recent government study said for a w indow to meet the Energy Star ratings, it must be installed cor­rectly. It must be exactly square in the frame and carefully insulated. Are your wood frames perfect? Any rot? Thats w hy you want an expert installer.

Doyouuseyourowninsiaflers?Most "window” contractors, even respected home improvement chains, use Sow/ cost labor who get paid by the number of houses. At Thermo-Tite our installers are factory trained and receive a bonus based on satisfaction. We come to your home w ith . everything we need to do the job right the first time.

Today, everyone claims that you'll save energy by installing their windows. But only I guarantee, if you buy Thermo-tite w indows, you'll save 35% off your next energy bill, or I'll write you a check for the difference!"

How can ! make this offer? Over the past years. I've had to write a few checks. Most because of ieaky front doors... but a promise is a promise! Still, the odds are in my favor because w e manufac­ture the best replacement windows and have only the best installers ...so I'm willing to take the risk!If a "window" company doesn't have experienced installers and won't back up their guarantee with a check, doesn't that tell you something?

Call fora FREE in-home estimate.This week take an additional $79 off each window installed. Just doing ? some research? Let us send you a FREE v CD to help you make the right decision.
