Town says 'yes' to budgetMolnar, Kessler and Taylor elected to school boardBy KAREN MTZTHE RECORD

In a twist of irony, citizens wereasked to vote on how they felt theschools should spend their prop-erty taxes on the same day incometaxes were due.

But nonetheless, Westfkldersgave the nod to both parts of thedistrict's 1997-98 budget

The first question of the budget,totaling $50,607,3(16, was passedwith an overwhelming 2.726 tc1,041 margin.

The second question, which to-taled $1,594,505 and containeditems not deemed necessary by thestate, also passed overwhelmingly

with a 2,700 to 1,069 margin.Candidates Carol Molnar, Tho-

mas Taylor and Michael Kessleralso received the most public sup-port in Tuesday's election raceamong six candidates.

A former board member, Mr.Taylor led the pack with 2,128votes; Ms. Molnar, an incumbentfollowed with 2,021; and Mr.Kessler drew 2,002.

Patrick Keenoy came in fourthwith 1,536 votes; incumbent Tho-mas Madaras brought in 1,479votes in his crusade for a secondterm; and Mark Kabakow came inlast with 793 votes.

These returns are unofficial untilcertified by the Union County clerk

later this week.Mr. Kessler, a manager at Lucent

Technologies in Warren, said hewas thrilled with the success of hisfirst try for public office.

"I'm very pleased and lookingforward to the next couple of yearson the board," he said.

Ms. Molnar, an attorney, willbegin her fourth term on theboard, and Mr. Taylor, an attorney,will serve his second term. He saton the board 1985-88.

The untested two-question for-mat on the budget, coming from astate mandate, had caused someconcern among school officials.

In the weeks before the election,board members and district em-

ployees alike worked to inform vot-ers that despite the two-questionformat only one budget was up forapproval.

Tuesday, voters seemed wellaware of the reasons for the re-vised budget format.

"The papers wrote about it andthey sent something home throughthe schools, so we were really ableto sec that it wasn't really twoquestions," resident Fran Berk saidat the polls Tuesday afternoon.

Ms. Berk said she supportedboth questions and even voiced tinopinion that the district shouldspend more. She has two childrenenrolled in Westfield schools andanother who graduated from WHS.

Eleven quilts, plus an additional60 items, will be auctioned duringtoday's fund-raiser at Terrill Mid-dle School in Scotch Plains spon-sored by TIB to support the NewJersey chapter of the Make A Wish

Nadine Allen, coordinator of theauction, was effusive in her praiseof the enthusiastic effort shown byevery person involved in "thiscommunity happening."

"I have never seen an event socompletely kid-driven. They are re-ally into it Caring kids who will becaring involved adults," she said.

While middle-school studentswill run the entire auction, save forcollecting money, elementary stu-dents will entertain patrons with

skits.TIB teachers

Patricia Noerrand Carol Smith,in addition toworking along-side students andparents on theirprojects, them-selves quiltedand donated aqueen-sized log

"All the teachers have been in-credible, donating hours uponhours of work, plus their ownmoney and creativity, to make thishappen," Mrs. Allen said. "They'regolden."

The teachers accepted a procla-mation last week from ScotchPlains Mayor Irene Schmidt de-claring today "Stitches Make Wish-es Come True Day." At that time,Mrs. Smith said the TIB programsupports academically talentedchildren in grades three througheight in the Scotch Plains-Fanwooddistrict.

Mrs. Allen also said many mer-chants and individuals in the com-munity "opened their arms bigtime" to support the Chinese auc-tion. Every local florist donated aflower arrangement for theevening, while restaurants andbakeries were quick to respond torequests for desserts.

ITV classrooms will connect students from all areasBy KAREN BITZTHE RECORD

WESTFIELD - The high school maysoon have a new addition that will givestudents access to a world of opportunities.

The Board of Education recently ap-proved plans to investigate the possibilityof establishing an Interactive Television

. ttTV) classroom in the high school.The classroom would allow students and

teachers immediate interaction with likeclassrooms around the county and thewhole world.

The county education commission is of-fering all Union County high schools$20,000 toward the implementation of sucha classroom. The total cost for this projectwould cost about $60,000, Superintendentof Schools William Foley said.

The Westfield Education Fund recentlyawarded the district $10,000 toward the

same project.District technology director Darlene

Nowak said an ITV classroom will givestudents a world of capabilities.

"The classroom has connections so youcan receive remote broadcasts," she said."There is an ability to address people atdifferent locations and receive immediateresponses."

Classes can take electronic field trips toplaces they could typically not go.

The classroom would also be able tooffer multi-district classes so studentscould benefit from subjects not taught intheir schools. For instance, if Summit of-fered a Latin V class that Westficld didnot, WHS students could take the coursethrough the ITV classroom.

"We are limited only by our imagina-tion," Ms, Nowak said, adding she hasseen drama, language, science and ad-vance placement classes offered via ITV.

It* rskiblishnl. tho ITV classroom wouldIx' sot up in a former auto body shopclassroom in tht> school. The implementa-tion would include quite a bit of renova-tion.

"With this type of classroom we hnve toKivc* special concerns to lighting and spac-ing and also furniture placement," Ms.Nowak said. -

The target date for the ITV classroom tobe up and running is January 1098.

Anyone for Girl Scout cookies?At It* recent cookie booth sale, fifth-grade Junior Qlrl Scout Troop No. 68 raited funds tosupport Ha yearlong activities. Events include the Pinewood Derby, dancing at Colorado Cafe,the Father-Daughter dance, deep water swim teat, sewing lessons and camping.

CommentaryHits and missesBest and worst from our area

HIT: Everyone who turned out for Tuesday's Board ofEducation election. Most of your tax bill comes from theschools, and voting is the best way to voice your opinion onhow your money should be spent. Eligible voters who weretoo lazy to go to the polls get a "miss." They have no rightto complain "taxes are too high."

MISS: The punks who robbed First Methodist Church inWestfield earlier this month. Thieves took between $70-$80from a woman's wallet. Also, $240 was stolen from a rever-end's desk. We constantly hear about crimes like this atchurches and synagogues. Is nothing sacred?

HIT: Speaking of churches, here's some good news: S tLuke's AJtlE. Zion Church on Downer Street in Westfield ismarking 125 years of service to the community. On Sat-urday, May 3, an anniversary luncheon will be held at theWestwood, Garwood. Tickets are available from churchmembers or by calling 233-2547. The church has been afixture in Westfield and hopefully will be a presence formany years to come.

MISS: Everyone loves animals, but what about geese?Enough already! Geese are starting to overrun parks andponds and it's about time someone's taking a stand. TheScotch Plains Recreation Commission recently posted "nofeeding waterfowl" signs at Brookside Park. Hopefully, ifpeople stop feeding the birds their numbers will decreaseand so will the amount of droppings.

HIT: What are you doing Sunday? Going to Westfield'sSpring Fling, you say? Good answer. The third annualdowntown affair kicks off at noon. Just like the last coupleof years, it promises to offer something for everyone.

The conversation was in progressas I walked into the room, thesubject was where one should liveif not in New Jersey. It was notidle chatter. Because of a majorglitch in their business they werequite likely to be out of a job veryshortly. ;

The younger folk were consider-ing career changes and optionsthat could well land them work inanother state. Others, near the ageof retirement, wondered if theyshould just accept "the package"and retire or if they should expendenergy in the difficult task of try-ing to find meaningful employ-ment for their few remaining workyears.

Most felt, as I do, New Jersey isone of the belter places to live andnone were anxious to leave. You^gTolks, of course, if they are raisirga family or looking to establish aworthy career, may not have \ achoice if an opportunity eorrjesalong. I

Retirees, however, face the ques-tion more often than anyone. It' aproblem if hubby wants to go .toski country and wifey wants |tobask in the sun. Or if he is anxidusto find a Rolf haven and she wa^tsto he near the ballet. Lucky are tjhecouples who find a mutually satis-fying compromise with themaelves,their families and their pockjet-books. !

But if not New Jersey, whe(e?Often the first suggestion is Fhjri-dn While older bones may wfellenjoy the Florida warmth in w in-ter, its heut in summer is nv rethan many can tolerate.

WESTFIELD - Hundreds ofvolunteer hours have contributedto two major goals of the Friendsof the Westfield Memorial Library— raising extra funds for WestfleldMemorial Library and providingresidents with reading material at aminimal cost

The 25th annual Friends of theLibrary book sale, which ran April8-12, raised in excess of $19,000,said Co-chairman David Kirkwood.During the past 25 years of thesale, it has raised more than$200,000 to benefit the library.

"We're extremely happy with thesale," Library Director BarbaraThiele said. "The Friends havebeen an integral part of this libraryfor years."

The Friends leave the decisionas to what to do with the raisedfunds up to the library staff.

"We look upon the librarians asbeing the professionals runningthe library so they give us a wishlist and we pick as many as wecan," Mr. Kirkwood said

Throughout Ute years, the salehas financed all kinds of pur-chases, such as computers, refer-ence books, cassettes and puppets.Ms. Thiele said she is unsure whatthe library will ask for this year.

The five-day sale is run by vol-unteers who handle all aspects ofthe event It is hekl in the programroom of the library, which is filledwith organized shelves and stacksor books.

This year, the Friends put 30,000books up lor sale, all of which weredonated by supporters.

"It's probably the biggest booksale within 20 miles," Mr. Kirk

wood said.Book lover Jessica Higgins said

she has been coming to the West-Held sale for years to stock up herreading supply.

"The prices ore unbeatable. 1usually find about five or so booksto last me through the summer,"she said.

At the sale, hardcovers went for91.50, paperbacks run 75 cents or$1 and children's books cost 50

cents and 75 cents. The texts werearranged in 34 categories rangingfrom biography, history, architec-ture, gardening, fiction and recentpublications.

Books published in 1996 or 1997are priced somewhat higher thanthe older texts.

Ms. Higgins, who had a mix offiction and nonfklion selectionslast week, said it's the large choiceof titles that keeps her coming

bock each year."The prices are so reasonable 1

retcct a lot of books 1 wouldn't beas quick to buy at the book store,"she said.

The browser had UUes>by Marg-aret Atwood, John Grisham andJohn Updike and a book on inte-rior designing.

To clear out as many books aspossible, the Friends offer half-price day Fridays, and Saturdays,

the last day of sale, book lovers canfill a bag for $5.

After the sale, all books not soldate recycled or donated to charity.

The Friends of the Library giveall of their proceeds back to thelibrary.

Throughout the year, the organi-zation gives funds to the librarythat they raise through book rent-als and a copy machine they ownin the library.

HospicehonorsWegrynBy KAWENMIZTHE RECORD

WESTFIELD — Many doctorsfeel their purpose is only toheal, but Dr. Robert Wegryntakes his task a step farther bygiving terminally ill patientscomfort and alleviating the griefof family members when lovedones die.

Dr. Wegryn has served asmedical director of the Centerfor Hope Hospice in Rahwaysince it was founded in 1981.This week, Dr. Wegryn, who haslived in Westfiekl since 1968, isbeing honored with the title ofHospice Physician of the Yearby the New Jersey Hospice Or-ganization.

In the early 1980s, Dr. Wegrynwas the president of the staff atSt. Elizabeth's Hospital. It wasat this Elizabeth hospital wherehe met nurse Margaret Coloney,who was interested in taking pa-tient care a step further.

Ms. Coloney soon establishedthe Center for Hope to helpboth patients and families in thedeath process and Dr. Wegrynimmediately began donating histime to the effort.

"When we in medicine havedone basically all we can to curesomeone, we're going past that,"he said.

A general and vascular sur-geon practicing in Elizabeth, Dr.Wegryn has always disagreedwhen his colleagues either giveup on a patient who cannot behealed or continue to treat thesepatients ad nauseum.

"We're all going to die and

DR. ROBERT WEGRYN

getting an extra two weeks oflife with an extra dose of che-motherapy is not the way to go,"he said. "If that two weeks isuncomfortable, it's really notworth it."

The hospice's purpose is toprovide aid and shelter to termi-nally patients and their familieswhile making these patients'last weeks as comfortable aspossible.

"Dr. Wegryn was there for usright from the beginning and heis one of the main reasons theCenter for Hope has been ableto help more than 5,000 peoplein the past 18 years," Ms. Colo-ney said "And to think he hasalways done it on a volunteerbasis is a testament to the kindof man he is."

At the center, which employs140 and has more than 300 vol-unteers, Dr. Wegryn works withpatient's primary care providers,administers palliative care andcounsels family members.

Dr. Wegryn's wife, Bobbie,also volunteers at the Center forHope as a bereavement coun-selor. The couple has threegrown children and two grand-children.

Kerwin set to retire in fallCollege professor befriended many older students

WESTFIELD - As a mother who decided to pursuea college faculty career at 48 years old. ProfessorMarianne Kerwin has spent the last 15 years easingthe transition among older college students into anacademic world of which they had long been apart

She empathizes with their fears and lack of self-confidence because she, herself, had worn similarshoes.

This Sept 1, however, Mrs. Kerwin will pass onsuch a supportive role to a successor, as she will retirefrom her position as associate professor of math-ematics at Union County College in Cranford.

The Westfield resident, who joined the college's fac-ulty in 1982 and rose through the ranks from a part-time instructional role to associate professor, said thatmany years ago she had pursued a computer careerbriefly while such technology was in its infancy. That

-.was 24 years before she decided to' return to theprofessional world, having spent the interim raisingtwo sons.

"I've always been sympathetic to older women re-turning to school after a long time away from aca-demia," Mrs. Kerwin said. "I did it myself, so I knowwhat they experience."

In addition to easing their apprehensions, the edu-cator also said she has helped women to pursue ca-

- reers not traditionally female-oriented. These havebeen women who were raised by families who dis-couraged them from such pursuits in favor of more

. traditional roles. Mrs, Kerwin, in turn, enabled themto realize anything could be theirs if they developedan ability to read and reason.

"Regarding education in general, I hark back to theoriginal idea of educating people to train their mindsto think," said Mrs. Kerwin, who has taught mostevery mathematics course at the college with a spe-cialty in unified calculus designed for engineeringmajors.

"As important as it is to train a student to a particu-lar specialty, students must learn to reason and read.If they do, they can pursue anything in life," she said.

Acknowledging that many students may nevercarry over mathematics skills learned to a life's ap-plication. Mrs. Kerwin said that what they will be ableto carry over is an ability to reason logically andanalytically.

"So often, educators rush to the newest fad at themoment," she said. "But 1 say that while doing this,you don't discard what is older and proven to workwell."

Throughout her tenure at UCC, Mrs. Kerwin haschaired the student affairs faculty standing commit-tee, which fought successfully for the elimination ofsmoking in college buildings. She also served on thepeer evaluation faculty standing committee.

For 10 years, Mrs. Kerwin advised student membersof the Mu Alpha Theta mathematics national honorsociety chapter at UCC, and was the first faculty ad-viser of the Catholic Student Organization. She alsochaired a special weeklong lecture program held eachyear.

"I loved every minute of my experiences here atUCC," she said.

New math curriculum approved:;Intermediate students can expect more challenging courses^

WESTFIELD — lite Board of Educationrecently approved a more rigorous math-ematics curriculum for intermediate schoolstudents.'

The current seventh-grade pre-algebra pro-gram will-be moved into sixth grade. Eighth-grade algebra will be moved into seventh andbecome a two-year program. A new two-yearcourse, combining algebra and geometry forhigher achieving students, will begin in theseventh grade.

of 1996 by teachers Frank Altmire, Annelagher, Richard Gelfand, Peggy Krychoweckyg;Dona Panagos, Mike Tirone, Nancy V<and intermediate mathematicsMalvina Kohn.

The process then included speaking withthe high school staff under the leadership of*mathematics department Supervisor Hal /Johnson and with the elementary principalsand their staff. .-*:

THEHECORD

1 Was it an aberration, or has the•tide turned?| The Cranford High girls soflball•team has dominated Westfield in! recent years, but when the sud-idenly hard-hitting Lady Devils; blited the Lady Cougars last week7-3; heads turned.

; "Cranford has had our number,;so the team was psyched to pickup the win," said Westfield High

JHe*d Coach Maggie McFadden.; "They've had some good teams• and we've struggled against them,so H was nice for the team to beatthem."

Qranford High Head CoachTerry Biunno and her troopsweren't as happy about the result

"We had a total letdown thatday," said Biunno, whose squadwon a very big game over countypower Union High 2-1 prior to thetow at Westfield.

"That happens sometimes, but.the girls realize that to not come•att and play hard and smart everygame is a real problem. Not onlydid we lose to a conference andcounty opponent, but we also gavethem some confidence, too."

Due to a quirk in the schedule, the two squads will face-off againFriday in Cranford, with the of-fensively explosive Lady Devils

clashing with the fundamentallysound Lady Cougars.

Cranford (4-1) topped ScotchPlains-Fanwood High 10-0 Wednes-day with Melissa Levine hurling aneight-strikeout, two-walk shutout,and defeated Rahway Friday withsophomore Sam Morano winning a3-0 game, also with eight ICs andjust two walks. Centerflelder JenSands had two hits against Rah-way, as did Debbie Noble, whileLauren Porter and Lori Palitodrove in runs. With starting pitcherDiana Dolktrd expected back froman illness, the Lady Cougars enterFriday's game on a roll.

"No. 1, we're playing disciplinedsoftball, which we need to do towin games," said Biunno. "Ourpitching has been coming alongvery well and the team is hitting,

so we're off to a nice start Butwe've got big games coming rightup, so this is the time to keepworking."

Westfield (4-1) is coming off a 11-0 whitewash of Scotch Plains-Fanwood High Monday, and Mc-Fadden is hoping the early-seasonhitting barrage continues through-out the season.

"We're hitting the ball very well,not just a few players, but as ateam," said McFadden. "We knowwe'll have some ups and downs,but if the hitting is there and ourpitching holds up, we can compete.So far our pitching has beenstrong. We're walking less peopleand keeping the ball down."

Shannon Wagner is the LadyDevil ace and figures to be in thecircle Friday, with hitting helpfrom sophomore catcher SusanPhillips, outfielder Rachel Brcndlerand third baseman Kate Tracy.

"The first time we played them(Cranford) it took a total team ef-fort and everyone played a stronggame," said McFadden. "It wasgood for our confidence, but weknow they are a good team andlike any conference opponent it's abig game for us. We're looking for-ward to meeting them again, andI'm sure they feel the same way." Westfield High pitcher Shannon Wagner Is also handy with the bat.

What makes this story really em-barrassing is the fact that I nudemy living as a professional me-chanic for the better part of fifteenyears.

I've always done the work on myown cars, and have a reputationamong my Mends of never givingup on a car until it has no service-able parts remaining. Yet far allthe driving I've done in marginallyoperable machinery, Fve only hadone road failure that required a towtruck. Oh, but what a grand failureit was.

When my wife and I were firstmarried, we moved into a realhandy-man special. I was runninga fleet garage for a local fuel oildealer at the time. When one of theservice vans came up for sate, Ibought it. The plan was to haul thehuge volumes of detritus spewingdaily from our home-ln-progresa aswell as providing a platform fromwhich to watch motor racing atplaces like WatMns (Sen, N.Y.

A transmitter built right into cer-tain cars can be used to open andclose your garage door, activate

your house alarm system and turnindoor and outdoor lights and ap-pliances on and off.

The transmitter is easy to pro-gram and "remembers" what it'strained to do, even if the car's bat-tery goes dead. Because it's put ofthe car, there are no batteries to

change and no individual transmit-ter to lose, break or tempt thieves.Triis HomeLink device from Pricealso eliminates the need for mul-tiple transmitters to deal withlights and door openers.

When you come home late atnight, you can now walk into ;i

Starting an auto hobby for your teenagerBy sXMHACINFORBES CORRESPONDENT

Tye been retired from teachinghigh school auto shop for a coupleor years now, but I still haven't to-tally removed the profession frommy, mind. I have fond memories ofthe students of my past

As an auto shop teacher, it both-ered me that over the years teen-agers became more and more re-mote from the auto world as newcars became very complex andelectronically-controlled. In earlierdays, prior to getting his driver'slicense, a young guy would buy orbe given a "beater" of some kindand spend a year or more fixing itup; usually under the supervisionofVa male adult family member.TTTat's how my own sons developedand honed their own youthful me-chanical skills.

But things have changed Oftenthere's no one in the family withenough proficiency in mechanicalthings to guide the auto neophyte.Single mothers may want to help awilling son to get into the hobby*but she usually doesn't have thetime or the know-how. Organiza-tions like the National Hot Rod As-sociation (NHRA) and the SportsCar Club of America (SCCA) givelip-service to their so-called youthprograms, but I've found them tobo media devices for their ownpublic images. Even the ExplorerScouts have no interest in perpetu-ating the hobby through a compre-hensive program.

But there is a way to satisfy ateenager's request to get in on theauto hobby, but it takes some plan-ning if it's not already an ongoingfamily tradition. It requires intereston the part of the youth, a compre-hensive set of tools, work space(preferably under cover and largeenough to house a small car on along-term basis), a small "beater,"and constant monitoring.

Determining the amount of in-terest is relatively easy. A future

'Birthday and Christmaspresents are the usualmeans of getting a kid intohis own set of wrenches,screwdrivers, sockets andother implements ofdismantlement'

-BobHaginFormer auto shop teacher

car nobbiest will usually seek outsomeone in the neighborhoodwhose idea of a fun weekend isworking on his '68 Chevrolet 1m-pala SS and the youngster willmake himself a nuisance until he'sallowed to hang around and help.Lacking a car to work on, the be-ginner will somehow acquire asmall gasoline engine (usuallyfrom a neighbor's discarded lawnmower) and dismantle it with

household tools. That's how 1 gotstarted

A satisfactory set of tools Is themost expensive and most frustrat-ing part of the equation. Birthdayand Christmas presents are theusual means of getting a kid Intohis own act of wrenches, screwdriv-ers, sockets and other implementsof dismantlement Drop a hint ortwo early in the year and if therecipient doesnt snap at the sug-gestion, go back to square one,since his automotive Infatuation isjust a passing fancy and may soonbe replaced by a couch-potato in-terest in big-time wrestling ormembers of the opposite sex. In anupcoming feature well discuss toolselection.

The work space is usually a por-tion of the family garage and thistakes some sacrifice and spatialplanning on the part of othermembers of the family. It can alsotake the form of an on-site shed or,as it was in the case of a closefriend, the garage of an under-standing grandmother. If the kid isserious and determined, hell find aplace.

The next item on the list is find-ing a suitable cadaver. It can be aseasy as placing an ad in a localshopper or classified section of anewspaper or searching localstreets for a suitable vehicle. Ablock from my house a vintageToyota Corolla is parked on thestreet with expired license platesand a half-inch of dust on thewindshield. I have no doubt that

the owner (traceable through thelicense plate number) would behappy to pass it on to any recipientwho would get the derelict out ofthe unhappy owner's name. Twocautionary comments here: pick acar that's small, whole (don't both-er with one that has parts missing),and towable. And make sure thatthe donor has an ownership certifi-cate that shows him or her as legalowner and that the certificate issigned off correctly. It's a simplematter to surrender the plates tothe department of motor vehicles,obtain a receipt and have the carre-registered if and when it runsagain. In the case of my son Andy,it was a '64 Datsun 410 sedan thattook up residence in our yard for ayear.

Monitoring is the most time con-suming and least appreciated partof the youthful automotive renova-tion process. Tools have to be putaway after each session while usedoil, "stale" gasoline and other pe-troleum-based liquids have to becontained in discarded milk car-tons or plastic bleach bottles andtaken to the local household haz-ardous waste material collection lo-cation. It's not just a "nice" thingto do. It's the law.

If it all goes well and the studenthas followed the shop manual youbought him for his particular car,in a year or so he'll be rewardedwith an engine that runs.

Protect your enginefrom wear and tear

Are you among the millions ofdrivers who may be puttingundue stress on your vehicle'sengine? A recent survey commis-sioned by Q Lube, a subsidiary ofQuaker State Corporation, re-vealed that more than 93 percentof the company's fast lube cus-tomers drive under what vehiclemanufacturers define as severeconditions.

However, many drivers do notrealize that their everyday driv-ing habits are considered severe.As a result, their engine does notget the proper maintenance tokeep it running smoothly overmany years.

Severe driving conditions, asdefined by most vehicle manu-facturer owner's manuals, are de-termined by short trips of tenmiles or less, extensive stop-and-go driving or idling, pulling atrailer or camper, driving with atop carrier and driving at sus-tained high speed in hot weatheror dusty conditions. Other ele-ments that constitute "severe"driving conditions are driving insandy or salty areas, as well asoff-road driving.

According to Kirk Umphrey,President of Q Lube, "Drivinghabits are key factors in deter-mining a vehicle's appropriate oilchange interval. Under severe

conditions, for example, m.facturer-recommended oil chintervals range from 2,:>;K5,000 miles, with 3,000 nni.three months a common t> .mended interval."

Antique car has lasting odorRBESCORRESPONDENT

QI bought an antique car about, five years ago. It has built-in

luggage and while the car was instorage for the previous 10 years,the luggage was loaded with moth-balls. Now I can't get the smelLofmothballs out of the trunk eventhough I've left the trunk lid ajarfor the past five years.

AI once had a cat scent-mark theinside of one of my blue suede

shoes and since I really likedthem, I decided to try to save them

i a trick passed down to me bygrandmother a long time ago.! was positive that baking soda

ukl absorb any and all odors and, an open box of the stuff in her

refrigerator. I've sinceteamed that most homemakers dothe same thing. I packed the of-

; shoe with baking soda anda year, an examination

Grandma's axiom to beIt may be inappropriate to

: your whole trunk with bakingspda but an entire box of the stuffsprinkled around in the trunkmight do the job. Leave it in thereas long as you can and vacuum itout Since you've lived with theproblem for five years, anothercouple of months probably won'tpresent a problem.

changed as per the instructions Inthe owner's manual. I have spokento the mechanics in several of theshops in my area and have beentold by all of them that althoughthe factory states that the anti-freeze need never be changed, it'sa good idea to change it periodi-cally.A "Never" is a long time and I

-^-sometimes think that the autocompanies recommend neverchanging certain liquids becauseit's a good sales ploy. Some anti-freeze makers promote the ideathat unlike their competitors, theirown products don't contain thecompounds that can cause prema-ture water pump seal failurecaused by the abrasive action ofsilicates. I've also received lettersand press releases from other anti-freeze makers who state that sili-con silicates are necessary to in-hibit corrosion in aluminum en-gine parts and that all coolantsshould be changed every year.Somewhere in between there's ahappy medium. Most auto partsstores sell cheap hydrometers thatcan tell you how well your anti-freeze is protecting your enginefrom freezing but unfortunately itcan't tell you of any chemicalchanges in the liquid. My rule of

thumb is that if the fluid still hasthe original color when you lookinto the radiator and if the specificgravity is within the potential tem-perature limits under which yourvehicle will operate, you're safe inletting it go for two or three years.New antifreeze is cheap insuranceand the only downside is that it's amess to change and it's hard toecologically dispose of the darnstuff.

FORBES OORRESPONDBflS

For a traditional sports cor en-thusiast, it would be hard to notget excited about the newest BMWZ3. Matt Haain saut it handlespood, goes even better and hat allthe luxuries a/ home. Bob Haainalso says it's gnat, but wonder* if,when and why BMW it going tosell the really hot version here.

Matt - We never did get achance to do an extended test onthe original BMW Z3 roadsterwhen it came out a couple of yearsago, so we can't really comparethis newest one against the oldercar. From what I read in the papu-lar press, the 1.9 liter four cylinderengine was a bit on the "fidgety"side and the stick-shift versionwas prone to stumble off the lineif the driver didn't keep the en-gine revs high. I certainly didn'tfind that the case with this 2.8liter, six* cylinder car we just had

Bob - We can't really call hurtyear's version old Matt, sinceBMW still produces the l.» literversion in its Spartanburg, SouthCarolina plant and buyers still lineup for them. If you look at themindividually, you'd think thatthey're the same car, though slde-by-side you can see that the 2.1version is slighUy bigg«r in almostevery respect.

and in the- engine compartment,tht differences are more obvkiui

because many of the suspensionparts had to be strengthened toaccommodate the extra SO horse-power. The difference in the en-gine bay is also obvious sincethere's a few more cylinders inthere. At first glance it seems tobe a 1.9 with another pair of slugs,but the bore size has been en-larged a bit and it carries a sophis-ticated variable valve timing sys-tem.

Matt - That probably accountsfor the fact that the 2.8 producesan amazing amount of torque andpushes the car to 60 mph morethan two seconds faster than its"little" brother. The handling ofthis roadster is dose to perfect,and I'd sure like to And out on therace track when BMW participatesin Media Day this summer. Theonly problem is that the Z3 alwayshas a long line of Journalists wait-Ing to drive, and piloting one maymam waiting all day long.

Bab - Maybe I can hold yourplace in line, Matt I'm the patienttype. The only thing that I don'tlike about either of the 23 modelsis that there's almost no room inthe trunk.

its CORRESPONDENT

1997 Chevrolet Lumina is; the car of choice for

^efficient, but powerful and rel-low-profUe which helps to

thieves from targeting it Int parking lots.also one of those cars that

; be depended on to start, runanff fulfill its role as daily transpor-tation most of the time for morethan one passenger.

Outside - l ike virtually the en-tire auto industry has done, Lu-mina abandoned its "blocked" pro-file a few years ago in favor of amore aerodynamic shape. Whilefuel efficiency is the slipperyshape's greatest benefactor, itssloping hood sometimes makes ithaad to see where it ends. In aneffort to keep things quiet inside,Lritifrina uses lots of sound deaden-ing" materials including plastic, fi-berglass and metal sheets "sand-wfehed" together to keep noiseunder control.

At cavernous trunk will swallowovfcr 15 cubic feet of cargo, whichis jundy for a business person onthe road, while a standard cargonetworks well to keep things lo-

cated. Our Lumina LS test modelcame equipped with standard 16-inch aluminum, wheels and P22S/60R16 performance tires.

Inside — The basic Lumina seat-ing arrangement is a 3/3 layout,with the front seat being split intoa 60/40 configuration. A handy cen-ter armrest folds down and splitsto reveal a good-sized storage com-partment Its cloth upholstery andunder-padding is soft and comfort-able, though in keeping with itsmission as an everyday car for var-ious body sizes, doesn't offer muchside support

Lumina LS comes with suchstandard features as air condition-ing, an AM/FM cassette stereo,power windows, tilt steering andslowing dimming interior lights.

Our test car came with such op-tions as the LS Preferred Packagethat adds keyless remote entry, anelectric rear window defogger,

'power trunk opener, dual-zone in-terior temperature control, andcolor-keyed floor mats. Other op-tions on our test car included apower driver's seat and an up-graded stereo with a CD player.

On the road — Our Lumina testvehicle came equipped with a 3.1liter V6 engine, which produces 160horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque.Its design uses pushrods to acti-

vate its valves, but a healthy doseof technology in the form of se-quential fuel injection, roller rockerarms and a hollow camshaft, alongwith a twice-as-powerfu) enginemanagement computer system en-hance its durability.

New for 1097 is a weight-savingone-piece flywheel, an engine oilwear sensor to warn the driverwhen it's time for an oil changeand increased coolant flow to theheater, which warms the interiormore quickly. The more sportingLTZ version was to carry an op-tional 3.4 liter dual overhead camV6 that gave a whopping 215horsepower and 220 lb-ft of torque,but the project was recently post-poned. Both versions now use the3.1 liter engine as well as an elec-tronically-controlled four-speed au-tomatic transmission.

Behind the wheel — Luminafeatures four-wheel independentsuspension with MacPhersonstruts, coil springs and front andrear stabilizer bars. All models ex-cept the LTZ come equipped withChevrolet's soft-ride suspensioncomponents for a comfortable,smooth ride — though it some-times rolls loosely and boundsafter traversing large bumps atfreeway speeds.

What about mail-orderfor parts, accessories?

QThe J.C. Whitney Company in-formed roe that they have no

ignition wire sets for our 1065 Itas-ca motor home because it doesnthave stainless steal exhaust mani-folds. We checked with our locslmotor home dealer and found thathe wants $05 for a set of wires. The31 foot motor home has a Chevro-let 7.4 Hter VB motor in it and usesan automatic transmission. Theodometer oruy reads 56,000 miles.

Several years ago I ordered a setof exhaust headers for a Toyotathat I was working on and was sentan exhaust kit for a Chevrolet Igot my money bade but the timeand trouble involved made H a los-ing proposition for me.

I suspect that Whitney's reluc-tance at selling you a set of con-ventional wires for your Chevy en-gine involves high underhood heatthat would cause them to deterio-rate at a rapid rate. A stainlesssteel exhaust system would reducethe temperature and allow thewins to last longer.

Disney: Collecting America's childhood: / . By ARTHUR MILGROM, • Weekend Ptus antiques writer

In America, everyone loves awinner. One of our mostubiquitous winners is theDisney organization. Any-body who was a child any-

where in the world or is contactwith a child is on intimate termswith, the power of Disney. Thispower is equally evident in theworld of collectibles. Disney itemsare among the most highly soughticops of pop culture. To discoverthe source of their popularity Iconsulted Maxine and Stuartly/ans who are the heart and soulof Tiques, located in Old Bridge.The Evans have been dealers fornearly thirty years and have longspecialized in the artifacts of popculture. They have a long list ofinternational collectors and run acatalogue auction several times ayear. Besides Disney, they liketoyt, comic characters, film and TVmemorabilia, Beatles items andpretty much anything they find in-t£rf$ting and unusual. In Disney,the* generally prefer rarer andhi Aer end pre-World War II items.< Qteney has maintained and in-

creased it's collectible values, whilema||y of it's early contemporaries(f^i|eer\jammer Kids, Krazy Kat)hafte a much smaller market.Tb|re are a number of reasons.Fu^t there are aesthetics. A lot ofDiipiey and Disney items are reallygreat looking and arc fun to havewOund. Disney had wonderful art-istj^working for him. Secondly,thffe is the cosmopolitan nature ofDirtey collecting. There are collec-tofi In almost every major marketin;the world. Last year, the Evansattended a very successful Disney•hour in Japan. In addition, Disney-

ana, unlike many other collectibles,does not suffer from loss of valueby being manufactured outside ofthe USA. Disney licensed his char-acters in foreign countries veryearly in his career. Value is a ques-tion only of rarity and artistic qual-ity. Sometimes European items arcinteresting because of their differ-ent look. For instance, Mickeysoften had a more rat-like appear-ance than their American cousins.(When I was in Mexico, I met "ElRaton Mickey.")

Disney itemsare also won-derful col-lectibles be-cause of the in-credible varietythat was pro-duced, thou-sands andthousands ofobjects madearound theworld for 70years. There are toys, dolls, sandpails, statuettes, clocks, radios,books, wrapping paper, toothbrushholders, knife rests, cereal boxes,clothes, jewelry, lunch boxes, ash-trays, Christmas lights, games,even ashtrays. This is only n partiallist Anything you can think ofprobably has been Disney-ized(Disney-fied?) Collectors have avast field to choose from, becausein addition to the vast array ofitems, there are, under the Disneyumbrella, various collectible sub-sets: comic characters (Mickey,Minnie, Donald, Scrooge McDuck),cinematic objects (Snow White,Fantasia), Disney theme park col-lectibles, IV (Mickey Mouse Club,Davey Crockett) and several other

In the thirties Mickey andhis significant other had amore rat-like look. This,according to MaxineEvans, is much moredesirable than his currentboyish look.

niches. So, theoretically, you canspecialize in Donald lunch boxes,or tin litho toys or Fantasia souve-nirs, or any of the many possiblecombinations. A collectible worldrich with possibilities.

There is one more very powerfulreason that Disney collecting hasstayed hot. It is the power of Dis-ney itself. It is as much a part ofour collective social being as ever.Take a walk at the mull and countDisney items for sale or beingworn. When Barney, Elmo and

Cabbage Patchare all distantmemories, adultsand infants willstill be sportingMickeys andMinnies on shirtsand jackets.Every day futureentrants, into theDisney collectingworld arc b*ung

. born.The Evans's prefer prewar Dis-

ney items. In the thirties Mickeyand his significant other had amore rat-like look. This, accordingto Maxine, is much more desirablethan his current boyish look. In ad-dition, his eyes hau "pie wedge"pupils until 1039 when they tookon the round version throughwhich they've seen until thepresent day. The enrly marks var-ied, but any items marked with theword "productions" and any com-bination of tlur Disney nnrne iiivnewer than li)4U. Tl ere is also aloose hierarchy of desirability undvalue with Mickey and Minnie asking and queen. Donald Duck anilSnow White, an unlikely tmiple,follow in importance. Surprisingly,

items from the film "Fantasia"have a strong collectibility. Pleaseremember that in all Disney cat-egories the value of objects is ex-tremely variable. Not everything isdesirable, Aesthetic consideration,rarity and condition are all impor-tant factors as they are in all areasof collecting. While the Evans sellsome postwar items, they feel thatthe vast majority of recent Disney-ana, including so-called limitededitions, are not good investments,

Here are some examples fromthe Tiques December sale. A 7Vi-inch celluloid Mickey from Francesold for $1,139. A 4-foot-by-4-footSnow White store clock display,with sample clocks in the place ofnumbers, brought $1,507. An En-glish World War 11 Mickey gasmask in original box went for $332.A roll of Mickey wrapping paperwith a long billed Donald, severalhundred yards long sold at $486. AVernon Kilns "Centourette" fromthe film "Fantasia" brought $1,580.A Mickey Mouse club uniform notfrom the '50s TV show, but from aclub from 1929-1932. Children worethese at movie theaters. The backof the vest has a huge ratty four-fingered Mickey. It was priced at$900. Mazda Silly Symphony lightsreached $132 (an old brand of lightbulbs for whom Maxfiek) Parrishdid some advertising illustrations,the name is not related to the car,but comes from Persian mythol-ogy). These examples are a smallsampling of "Piques December cat-alogue. There are 639 more items,most of which are relatively rareami expensive and are likely towind up in the homes of advancedeollectors. Luckily, for the beginiH?r, there ure thousands of itemsavailable under $50 and $100. And

A French Mickey Mouse, an English WWII Mickey Mouse gat''matk and a centaurette from Fantasia are just some of the highlycollectible Kerns produced by Disney.

as a beginner, there is n simplerule to keep in mind: in building acollection it is always better to buyone great item in beautiful condi-tion than to buy a bunch of lowerquality objects for the samemoney. Givnt always appreciatesfaster than mediocre.

Remember please, if you ownany of these rare items, it is un-likely that you can tV'i these highprices unless yuu t-a-i reach thenuyor collectors The Kvans arehappy to discuss I >isney or other

The case of the missing summer clotheswee

0ByRACHAEL HIPFLORES

Weekend Plus Wds columnistK, there has been thisone, eensie-wi'ensie,teeny-tiny, ilty-bitly, yettotally enigmatic ciuestion

that lias gnawed away at my braincells over since 1 could think, fdccj>breath) Just this bit of minutia thatcould easily be turned into an X-Files episode if the writers hadthought of it. What, in Fox Mul-

der's name, happens to all of mysummer clothes over the winter? Imean, I can't find any of my oldshorts, none of my old Ts are any-where to be seen, and my favoritepair of sandals is equally lost.

Boom! All gone! Just like that!They're in my face all winter long,when I'm trying to find a decentsweatshirt, and when it's finallywarm enough to wear nonfleece-lined clothing, they pull a Houdini!

How is it physically possible thatso many items of clothing virtuallydisappear over the course of a fewmonths? Does my house need anexorcist? Were they accidentallyplaced in my sister's closet? Arelittle green men ... or shall 1 say,gray men ... playing some sort ofsick intergalactic joke? Do mydresser drawers have trick bot-toms? Has Mom given them all tocharity?! What???!!!

Not that this is anything tostress over. I mean, last week,Mom offered to take me on a shop-ping spree for the "necessities," yaknow, jellies, scrunchics, claws,camisoles, sarongs. The somewhatdisturbing disappearance of mysummer clothes gave me the per-fect excuse ... er ... reason to ma-jorly splurge! What? You expectedme to pass up an opportunity likethat? OK, 1 don't have that muchself restraint! We're talking a whole... new ... summer ... wardrobe here!And Mom picking up the Uib! Thiswas a once in a lifetime op-portunity! So, on Saturday,Mommy and I set off to find a fewof the "basics" (wink, xoink).

Now, before 1 go on, let me jusltell you, whether you've figured itout by now or not, that there are aflew important questions you nwdto ask yourself before you buysomething: 1) Is it whut I set out tobuy? 2) Can I affoid it? 3) Do Ireally need it? 4) Can I wear it toschool without breaking the dresscode? And, most impoitantly, ro

Will the contemps go for it, and , ifso, what can I wear it with?

The first four questions are pret-ty simple: 1) Yup. 2) Mom's payingfor it, so chuck the prices. 3) Ofcourse 1 need it (angelic smile) be-cause it's on Mommy. 4) More like-ly than not.

Now, the fifth question is harderto answer than it is to find hardevidence of extraterrestrial life.There's one basic, and I do meanbasic, style that will let you livethrough the bus ride to school.Simplicity. Big, baggy, neutral, nofrills, minima] jewelry. That partisn't the problem. It's the matchingthing that's a task. I mean, sum-mer styles change quicker thanJulia Roberts changes boyfriends!In my experience, it's a rare andjoyous occasion when last year'sshorts match this year's tank top.Not that I have to worry about thatShorts are seldom with me longenough to actually become "lastyear's shorts."

Anyway, as I was saying, Momand I were on this shopping spree,and it was, like, surreal! Well, atleast it was at this one store in[^articular, whose name 1 won'tmention. We'll just call it "StoreX." All the stuff there was so shortand so bare, even I wouldn't havethe guts to wear it! It definitelywould tiot pass the fashion con-scious eyes of my friends! I mean,there was this one pair of cut-offsthat looked like they'd only godown to, hcl-lo, just below my butt.'I'm sorry, but I'm just not that self-assured! However, I do have to saythat Store X's line of jewelry wasfantastic. I moan, they had thecoolest accessories there! Can yousiiy, "Scmnchie City?" "Rockin'

Rings?" iAnd then there's GAP Kids! i

(Yes, sadly enough, I still fit into ,their line-up.) They pretty much"rock! I mean, that store carries eueryUiingl And none of it ever goesout of style! It's amazing! They'vegot the True Blue Classics. It's £\virtual impossibility to go wrong atthat place! I mean, it just rocks!That the only verb I can think 6t'r

Rocks! :'lAnd, of course, with a little pet'

suasion, a lot of begging, and a ; 'couple of false promises not to losemy summer clothes next year, Imanaged to tow Mom into a non-clothing store. One word: Borders!That place is the ultimate destina-tion! I mean, I have got to have mywedding reception there (this is thekind of useless info I contemplate)!But, seriously, they have all my toppriorities there: hooks, movies,CDs, coffee, cake! A girl like mecould live in a place like that! Justsit there all day, sipping myespresso, nibbling at my pastry,grooving to the sound of digitalthunder storms and rain forest ani-mals. That, my friend, is the life.

Well, it's getting kinda late.(Looking around my room.) Stillhave to pick out an outfit forschool tomorrow ... hmmm. (X-Fif&stlieinc; du-du du-du) Question is,where, in Dana Scully's name,1 leave my new khaki cut-offs

Weekend Plus, April 16-18, 1997 5The Cokesbury Inn is a shade apart

By PHVUJS RECKELWeekend Plus culinary correspondent

If you are looking for goodfood at reasonable pricesserved in an upscale type ofrestaurant try the Cokesbury

Inn.Once a stagecoach stop, the

building, circa 1840, has been rc-furbished into a lovely 1800s-stylecountry restaurant with mutedgreen wainscoting and grayishflowered tin walls, (lowered tin ceil-ings, large fireplaces and antiquefurniture sprinkled amid the pinkand flowered clothed tables.

This lovely room could easily bethe setting for an expensive hautecuisine restaurant but insteadowner Teddy Kousoulis prefers toserve the best food possible for rea-

sonable prices — and he, and chefScan Rice, succeed admirably.

Specials for the night we werethere ($15.95-17.95) included grilledtuna, swordfish kabobs or roast legof lamb, each served with potato orrice and a vegetable. The Thursdaynight special is always a l'/i poundlobster for only $14.i)5.

The menu lists pastas (mostly$12.95); vegetable stir fry overangel hair pasta or rice for $12.i)f),$1-1.95 with beef or chicken; chick-en ($13.95-$15.0f0 and pork loin orchops, calves liver and a variety ofsteaks in all price ranges ($11.95for an Bounce sirloin to $21,95 fura grilled filet mignon).

An interesting feature in themenu is a suggested wine ($13-$32)to enhance each entree, a nice

idea. Many are available by theglass; and for the beer drinkerthere's a large selection of bottledbeer, lagers, and stouts plus fourkinds of draft.

We sampled chicken marsalaand founil it outstanding. Tenderfilets in a scrumptious light brownsauce, made this favorite dish oneof the best; but if you like tangytasty treats try the veal piccata. An-other old standby, fried diet offlounder, is covered in a light yetcrispy coating of bread crumbs thatallows the flavor of the fish tocome through — making an ordi-nary dish something special.

Served with the entrees thatnight was broccoli steamed to gen-tle perfection, not stir-fry hard norsort and mushy, and a "really

baked" potato without a silver jack-et. What a treat that is!

At the far end of the elegant din-ing room is a small bar. It houses atiny staircase to an upstairs bed-room, probably used by maids toget to the kitchen. As years passedthe room became locked up andforgotten storage room, only to bereconstructed a few years ago withold beams and siding, a woodenbar and wooden tables whore din-ers are welcome to eat a meat orenjoy a cocktail.

Just off the bar room is an al-cove to be designated "Lydia'sroom." Lydia is the CokesburyInn's resident ghost. Seems shewas an employee of the inn whofell in love with the owner's sonbut he married another. According

to the psychic who was able tocommune through meditation withthe Lydia, Lydia made soap in thearea off the bar. Today the presentstart'at the inn often smell fra-grances like roses or lavender inthat area of the inn, and more thanonce a latched door has openedand closed for no apparent reason.Several patrons and former stallmembers have told Ted Kousoulis,who bought the inn in August1996, about phenomena they expe-rienced at the inn in years past.Ted has noticed unusual sounds offootsteps on the stairs and lightemanating from nothing but, hesays, it all seems kind of naturaland non threatening, so he ishappy to allow Lydia the run of theplace.

SHAnOMWILSONANl-LKl.Nl) t'lUbCokesbury Inn, in Lebanon, is a grand old inn with an historic atmosphere, good American loodaifd an occasional ghostly presence.
