Class schedulechange debateBy SHEA THOMASTHE CHRONICLE ,. '"

GRANFORD — About 40 par-ents "ancl students spent part' ofThurgdajr" nighit investigating ;scheduling options at CJranfprdHigh School with school officials.

Information Night at the highschool was an effort to considerfour alternatives to the currentscheduling used at the school.The alternatives include a 4x4:blpck.(4'subjects each: semester);A/B block (8 subjects, with four!classes meeting every other day,Tfor the full year); Alterndte^^Drop";

' (&Classes, with each, class, meet-;•' \ng for-longerthan the present 40'• minutes, butJwfith.6nly-5r6 class-*es meeting on any given day); :Modification to the ; presentschedule (perhaps longer class1

periods);: Present Schedule (staywith the current schedule). , .

"It's important to stress .that.no changes have :been' made, W6are simply examining our"^options," said Assistant PrincipalFrederick D'Antoni.

Much of the presentation wasspent answering questions .sub-mitted by the students, and parrents in attendance.. •.[

According to Mr. D'Antoni, this .should be a community effort andthe school officials are >velcorningsuggestions from all Who will beaffected !fey the schedule.

v "Each' of these scheduliss hasvery strong parts and weakness-es. We want to come up with aschedule^ that focuses on careerorientation and raising standard-ized test scores," Mr. D'Antoni

explained./Parents raised two .major

7tssues;^-concerning—schedulingrFirst, whether or not the numberof electives offered to studentswould be affected and secondly,'retention of information taughtin the previous semeater.

community will lose much morethan a landmark retail store., Over the past 19 years, thebook store on North Avenue hasnot only been a Mecca for avidreaders, but a forum for commu-nity organizations and residentsalike. Ms. Layton has made animpact not only ns a respectedlocal business owner, but also forher participation and support ofthe downtown revitalization. Hercommitment and dedication tothe grassroots project helpedrevive and beautify the down-town shopping district andchanged the image of.Oranford.

In fact, she waa one of the firstmembers to serve on theDowntown ManagementCorporation board when it wasfirst beginning. She went on toplay an equally important role asChairwoman of the Chamber ofCommerce.

Known for her dogged desireto see downtown retail ownersadopt uniform sign and facadestandards, she bucked oppositionfrom political powers and retailowners alike to see the standardsgain acceptance.

But despite all ihe businessand township struggles over theyears, Ms. Layton says the plea-sure has been all hers.

"I truly have had a love affairwith Cranford," she said, admit-ting the township has been "theperfect place to do business andliv.e."

And if tho truth be known, asthe number of stores she ownedincreased, the town where sheopened her first business wouldremain her favorite.

The attachment would bemutual. Residents came to relyon her expertise and excellentcustomer service, while organiza-

tions depended on- the store's cen-tral location/ and generosity tohawk tickets and other communi-ty ventures.

"We became the 'Ticketron' ofCranford," she quipped, recallinghow scout troops, the high schooland just about every other orga-nization would leave tickets,brochures and other informationin the store for pickup or sale.While some retail owners wouldfind it bothersome, Ms. Laytonsaw the task as just another partof a commitment she made as abusiness owner and resident.

Few would have expected theformer dental hygienist to switchcareers midstream, opting totake over a bookstore in a townsome 60 miles from where shelived, However, she harbored a'aocret desire to own a retail busi-ness. Although there were many

Don't let thedream die

On Monday this country celebrated the birthday ofMartin Luther King, perhaps the most influentialAmwrirnn nf flift sprniul half uf the 20th century. Yet, aside-from the stock market and government offices being closedand a scattering of stones in the media, there was little toseparate Monday from the other drab days of January

That's unforgivableThe legacy left by Dr King should never be underesti-

mated or forgotten It is inconceivable to a younger gener-- ation thqt just 40 years ago segregation was the rule in

many parts of this country African-Americans were forcedto sit at the rear of the bus and to drink from separatewater fountains They were not allowed to stay at manyhotels and they were refused service at many restaurantsThis country's treatment of African-Americans was trulysnameful.

The courage demonstrated by Dr King and his followersbrought abouHhe most sweeping change in this country'shistory. Centuries of injustice ended with historicSupreme Court rulings often enforced by federal troopsand the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 Most ofthese changes were prompted by Dr King's insistence onnon-violent protest, the peaceful demonstrations that heled delivered the message to all Americans that all men 'ate created equal and> more impbrtantly, should be treat-ed equally And Dr King never gave up the struggle,despite the ugly hatred of ignorant racists and the despi-cable and inexcusable harassment by a rogue FBI

Dr. King's achievements should not go underappreciat-'ed. By achieving equal rights for African'-Americans, hemadeall of our lives better. Though his life was tragicallyended by an assassin's bullet, the struggle for racial justice

• continued; And it continues to this day. There is still toomuch racism and intolerance in this' country and thestenchof discrimination still lingers.

: To properly remember Dr. King, we should dedicate ourj

selves once again to the principles he espoused— the pur-suit Of justice for all through non-violent means. That ded-ication should be the root of how we celebrate this nation-alhbliday.' '•; • . V . ' : • .•" ' • . • '•

Recreation sports need fair and equal teamsTo The C h r 0 n i c i e :

Is-it wiri at all costs, in Cranford's youth sportsprograms? The more games I see in baseball, soccerand especially basketball leagues the more Ibelievethat the direction of these programs should changeto a system that strives for fairness and parity. Justthe other day, my son's team was beaten by about'

.30 baskets in an instructional league game. Thekids are supposed, to be'learning and not beinghumiliated. Neither team'learned anything fromthis.blowout. The only way.the kids can learn is: ifall the teams have comparable talent. If teams areclose in talent they have to think and work harderfor their baskets.

After the game I spoke to the coach whose teamthrashed pur team.. He said the teams are pickedthrough a draft system. The problem is there isn'tan adequate rating system and he was able to draftfour kids who are very good friends of his son.These kids are quite good and very tall. In the 9-10-year-old league there are some teams filled withtalent and many teams have little or no talent. Thisisn't very good and nobody learns from blowouts.

I believe the league director and the, coachesshould: hand pick the teams and do away with the

draft system. While the draft system seems fair; itisn't perfect: You can get a great player immediate-ly on your team by saying his father will be yourassistant coaeh: Make teams fairly with parity sokids don't get humiliated.. Coaches, is it all about winning in a 9-10-year-old league? If it is with you I think you're a sorryindividual.

I overheard a father on the team who beat myson's tieam by 30 baskets say that this game wasdisgraceful.

I've seen firsthand how these teams are picked. Iwill be coaching my son's 9-10-year-old baseballteam in the spring. I inherited a team that was 3-9-2 last year. When draft daycame I was supposed toget a high pick because of last year's record. I had alist of 8-10 players I could have chosen in the firstround. Lo and behold coaches from teams withexcellent records the prior year and low in the drafttook all these kids before me. You see, they went outand asked these kids'fathers to be assistant coach-es. Sort of like free agency in a 9-10-year-dld leaaue.

Cranford H6tel made camera benefit successTo The Chronicle:

The Cranford Jaycees recently held the first ofseveral fundraisers that will help to raise money forthe purchase of a thermal imaging camera, a lifesaving device, which is used by the Cranford FireDepartment to locate people in smoke encasedbuildings.

The success of this fundraiser would not havebeen possible without the generosity of Frank andKim Ditullio of the Cranford Hotel. Not only didthey allow us to run the fundraiser at just abovetheir cost, but any amount they did make wasdonated back to help in the purchase of the camera.I would strongly recommend that the citizens ofCranford support a business that supports andhosts local charity events such as this.

Due to the cost of the'thermal imaging'camera

($16,200),. several fundraisers by several differentcommunity organizations need to be held to raisethe money. The next, fundraiser for this worthycause will be the Pizza Challenge, sponsored by theCranford Junior Women's Club and the St.Michael's (Council,) Knights of Columbus. It will beheld Saturday (1-24) at St. Michael's'Church hallfrom 7-11 p;m. Tickets are $12 each and availableat State Farm Insurance, Grisanti Shoes and theCranford Book Store. For further information call(908) 276-1109. Additionally, the (Firemen's MutualBenevolent Association) has placed donation canis-ters in many downtown stores and offices. Pleaselook for them. J •

DENIS DANKOSKY-Chairman of the Board,

Cranford Jaycees

Parents still masters in own homesTo The Chronicle:

Your story (Jan. 15) concerning Cranford's "zerotolerance" law is inaccurate.

The Township Committee approved a non-bind-ing resolution, not a law, calling for "zero tolerance"of alcohol use by "underage youth."

The co-chairman, of the Cranford MunicipalAlliance claims it is illegal for parents to serve nlco-hol in their own homes to their own, children, andthe article refers to "a national law that no oneunder the age of 21 be permitted to drink alcohol."The federal law I found, 23 U.S.C. 158, "Nationalminimum dripiking age," provides for the reductionof federal highway aid to states allowing "tlw pur-chase or public possession in such State of any alco-holic beverage by a person who is less than twenty-one years of age." (Emphasis added by author.) Thispermits me to serve alcohol to my own child in myown home'.

The article's suggestion that it is "unacceptable"and "a very bad example" to serve alcohol to minorsunder any circumstances is a regrettable overreac-tion to the real problem of alcohol abuse. Our fami-ly welcomes the Sabbath every Friday night withthe traditional blessings. The adults have wine forkiddush and drink a glass with dinner, and the chil-dren are welcome to a sip of wine with their grapejuice. Thus our children learn the proper place ofalcohol in n cultured, sober, religious life.

I'm sure the backers of this resolution meanwell, but they should not dump the baby with thebath water. How sad that alcohol so frightens 9omethat they would criminalize responsible child-rear-ing and religious observance. Happily, at least inthis, parents still are masters in their own homes.

To The Chronicle:VThis is an open letter sent to the Cranford

Township Committee; ____—- —-Tbank-yuu for your request oi my attendance at

the Jan. 22 presentation of the Community Centerjpcoposal I aln honored that ypu have'asked for myttnrpftt: 'Unfortunately, I cannot be present since Iwill be elsewhere at a different meeting

For the record my comments on the proposal areas/ollows:

Property Tax Impact — Both Mr. Shackell andj3faaw promised in their election campaign that|nsre would be no new taxes Not only have theyjfoken such promises, they have misled citizensSjSeit they are keeping the tax increases modest. TheSzable price tag on the new Community Center willjfid to citizen tax burdens, particularly senior citi-

£e*h,8. Citizens should be made aware of the new costftrfhem of this proposal

"Misplaced Priorities: Cranford needs to stepup. to • the table-and-r-eselve the-flood-eoncefns-ef-Riverside Drive and Holly Street before a newbuilding is built I know and you know this will costtax dollars Flood control should be the No 1 prior-ity even if it only impacts 5 percent of residents Allyou have done so far is kill whatever wildlife wasleft m the river and solved nothing I would hopethat whenever it rains you cringe because you haveaccomplished nothing but public relations

Need for Center Not Proven — While there isa justified argument for the library expansion ifaffordable, Btoommgdale still is well suited formuch of the township's recreation programs We

have numerous school buildings that are not usedin the evenings, weekends and in the summer thatshould be better utilized before more space is builtEach of the schools have gyms Why would anotherbe built? I have studied enrollment trends m hua-dreds of school districts and Cranford's recent surgeis just not sustainable Senior programs should

"remain in one place and at BloomingdaleOperating Cost — I find it hard to believe that

a Township Committee who hasn't funded the TeenCenter properly and cnes poverty when it comes toMemorial Field improvements will be able to findthe operating funds for a new Community Center

Parking and traffic flow: Regardless of tvhatthe consultants come up with, it will be a mess withlibrary and center patrons competing for too fewspaces

You asked for comment, I told you While I amproud of the role the Township Committee played inthe year I was mayor in the purchase of this prop-

-er^fiite-you-are-now-taking-advantage-of-^-remem-ber all of the criticism I took for making this long-term decision — by the way, it cost me many voteson Denman Road) I nevert expected it to be used forsuch a project I supported the library expansionunder certain conditions but this goes well beyondsuch a project

Good luck m seeking community input, I hope Ihaven't startled you with my critical assessment Isuspect the all-Republican township board does nothear much dissent these days

By pooling'' ••• ••'. •I resources toi combat tHe.yar.'on'drugs;;tbv^s.like.;| "Granford are better equipped to deal with majori drug suppliers. ••' ' •J The .narcs" job is to infiltrate drug organizationson every level, from street dealers to mid- andupper-level narcotics networks. Working undercov-er, associating with criminal elements, buying and

i&selling drugs, undercover officers on the task forceare able to insinuate themselves into the crimeorganizations and make arrests at the highestpossible level.

While undercover agents like Detective.Zsakare dedicated professionals risking their.lives

| every day, they often only scratch the surface of aj continuously growing drug network.,j Detective Zsak is a stoic and unpretentious]: man, well versed in the war'on drugs that rages'

not only in urban areas but in towns likeCranford. He is dedicated to changing that fact —•some may say obsessively so — but then he hasseen first hand how the "war on drugs" really is.Perhaps that is why he decided to work undercov-er, although the decision wasn't easy.. "I initially asked not to go," he said in recallingthe day in 1992 when Police Chief Harry Wilde.suggested that.the detective's experience would bean asset to the task force.

Detective Zsak knew it was an honor to beselected, with two years under his belt workingwith an auto theft task force combining Union andEssex counties, but he was "very content" and notinterested in making a move. • .

. "I loved what I was doing, but after giving it

some thought I decided to give it a shot," saidDetective Szak, who had eight years with theCranford police and was more than equipped tohandle the job. "They expect; you to.be an experi-enced officer to begin with. They don't train you to

; do raids or work undercover.11' ~. ' •'.'•:'.'. ;•He stepped into the role as easily as he did his

other assignments. He carefully avoids taking per-:sonal credit for the job he did over the last five

"I don'tthink I ever went on an exchange that Iwasn't worried something coujd go wrong,"petective Zsak said, but you have a. game planand believe in the people who back you up." .

He admits it was not always easy to follow reg-ulations when Working undercover because "youare out there breaking all the rules." Managingtwo vastly different lifestyles, he. said, is "a duality:some people have trouble separating ...You have

•'•to keep ahold of yourself. ••"When Iwas a young kid in a patrol car, I •. .

thought, This isright andthat is wrong.' I was aconservative, but as an undercover officer Ibecame a liberal. , • :

"The guy on. the corner in Elizabeth or Newark•ish!t making a^-mpney,"he said-""ItVthe midttp- "•upper-'level dealers who are the real danger."

„ That is.why undercover officers target higher.level suppliers even-though the narcs risk theirlies iil the process, according to the detective.

That means going up against dealers who won'thesitate to kill an undercover cop, but the detec-tives are dedicated to taking cases to the top deal-ers, from Linden to Chinatown and out of the 'country, undercover officers follow the money, setup deals and infiltrate a world not always the waywe imagine it. :

: "There were certain individuals—-and some- ,times they were organized crime figures —: thatwere so charismatic you just can't help likingthem," Detective Zsak said. "But you always knowwhat your job is and what motivates them — and

. you're on opposite sides of the fence."Where there is danger, there is always the

chance someone could get hurt or killed, a fact notlost on Detective Zsak.-He admits that is some-thing in the back of every undercover officer'smind, but experience teaches officers the real dan-ger comes not when large-scale drug dealers"think you're, the police-but when they don't."

"If they think you're a drug dealer, there is achance of a rip-off," he said. "(It is a matter of) con-stantly playing a game of showing the money andseeing the stuff. When their greed is up and they,see you as a profitable enterprise and moneymak-ing source, their defenses drop."

Drug dealers, the detective said, are interestedin one thing.— making a profit -— and stop at

nothing to satisfy their greed.Detective Zsak attributes the more than 1,000

arrests he has made to a "Pete Rose attitude," a lotof help from God and the backupof a team of offi-cers the putting.their lives on the line for him. Headmits being obsessive about the job he loves; "I'can hpnestlysay I wasn't a very talented detective...but I hustled and made my oWn breaks."

Just.a few weeks ago his assignment with the :g task force ended After a vacation he was

back on duty in the Cranford Police detective divi-sion.. While it may seem like a radical change fromthe y/orld he recently left, he feels the opposite istrue.

"We all tend to look at urban environments," hesaid; referring to Elizabeth, Newark, New Yorkand other cities "The truth is there are problems all over this county and right here m

. Cranford"What I find appalling is not people tak-

ing drugs m urban cities — they grow up mthat environment — but people in subur-ban towns like Cranford who have everything they could possibly want and no rea-son to turn their life into a pile ofgarbage But they just give theirlife away That's what I findappalling.

Zsak bring aboard the exper-tise, of a skilled undercoveragent, but he also can providea smaller municipality likeCranford with the advan-tage of strike force ':

Also, have you noticed the. signfor the new Victorian shop at thePhillip Cory House on NorthUnion Avenue? It was made byTim Herlocker, who also doessome beautiful wood carvings.

Laura Engel and Betty Pace,who live in a six-apartmentbuilding on North. Avenue,informed me that they believetheir building has finally beensold after having a "For Sale"sign for many months on thefront lawn. They have no ideawhat the new owner has planned

***A group of young people who

went on a SEARCH retreatweekend shared their experi-ences in church Sunday.

The SEARCH retreat, whichwas started by the Catholicchurch, is for youth in 11th or12th grades or older to sharefaith, fun and fellowship. Scot

McKay, who also acted as theliturgist for the church service,related that this was his secondyear at the weekend and as aleader for the Talk Team, he andErika Robinson put. together aslide show that was very wellreceived.

Debbie Noble shared that eventhough she was one of the lastspeakers of the weekend, she waswell received and got a lot ofencouragement for all partici-pants. Fred Doane and JeffMarsden were also part of thestaff.

Jim Doane, Rich Noble, JohnPedde, Laura Quackenbush andDean Russomano were first-timeparticipants. They all did a goodjob telling us all their experi-ences, not an easy thing forteenagers to do, My hat's off toyou all. Thank you for sharing.

It's hard to believe that thereare advertisements in the papersfor summer camps for children.Have we had winter yet? And Iwas surprised that nurseryschool signup for the fall is

already on a,first-come first-served basis, •

Kindergarten signup is short-ly and I was interested to seewhat criteria were important todetermine if your child is readyfor kindergarten.

The child should be able tobutton and zip his own clothes;get along with other children;take care of his own belongings;be able to run, skip, hop andthrow a ball; and care for himselfat the toilet without help.

His academic skills shouldinclude being able to. recognizesimple shapes and colors; under-standing sizes such as big, little,long and short; speak in sen-tences; listen quietly to short sto-ries; count to 10; know his fullname,. address and phone num-ber; print his first name; followsimple directions;' understandposition and direction.

As parents are most often thefirst to notice if their child cannotdo things, they should consultwith their chiltfs pediatricianand other adults who interactwith the child to see if they notice

any areas of concern. If so, theyca.n seek a professional evalua-tion to determine if the child may

. have some problem.

Overlook Hospital's Endoscopy Center offers relieffrom the pain of ulcers and other digestive disorders.If you suffer from an

ulcer, you shouldn't

have to settle for less

than total relief. At

the Endoscopy

Center at Overlook

Hospital, there are

easy, painless diag-

nostic and treatment

options that can put

a stop to your ulcer, once and for all.

One of the most common ulcer symptoms

is heartburn, which most sufferers simply

"mask" with an over-the-counter antacid

product. However, since many ulcers are

caused by an infection — not by stress or

spicy foods — the heartburn can only be

cured when the infection is eliminated.

What causes Ulcers!Most ulcers are not caused by

slress or spicy foods. They can

be lhe result of an infection

caused by a bacteria-called

H pylori which is present in lhe

stomach. Once diagnosed, this

bacteria can be eliminated \vilh

medical Iroalmenl ihqt does not

require surgery.

At Atlantic Health System's Overlook

Hospital, physicians are using the latest

endoscopic procedures to diagnose

ihese infections, and then prescribe the

appropriate treatment to

cure the ulcer and prevent

new ones from forming.

At Overlook's

Endoscopy Center,

If you suffer from symptoms such as indiges-

tion, heartburn, diarrhea, abdominal pain,

nausea, rectal bleeding or weight loss, an

endoscopy procedure may help. Since

most are performed on

an outpatient basis,

yoy may even be able

to return to work or the

comfort of home in as.

little as two hours.

about endoscopy, or a referral to an

Pets offer friendshipBySHEATHOmS '

'THECHKONICS °

CRANFORD — Some petowners say the love they

' receive from their pets is aUthe therapy they need.

Those of us who share ourhomes with pets are blessedwith much unconditional love,companionship, and fun. Myroommate Connie, a 12-year-old Miniature Schnauzer,whom I adopted in 1996 istruly a gift from God, as wellas a popular gal in town," said38-year-old MarthaMcLoughlin of Cranford.

-r-r-Ms:—Mekoughlin;—has —a, bachelor's in Sociology from

Kean University and is a mem-ber of the prestigious MENSAorganization, where membershave an IQ of 130 or higher.She admitted, she has hadsome emotional problems inthe past, but her relationshipwith Connie keeps her physi-cally and psychologicallyhealthy and has strengthenedher spiritual faith.

"Receiving Connie was aspecial gift from God because

' she gets along with everyone,even my boyfriend Mike," shesaid.

.She feels her relationship is:.. so strong wjth;.h'er.|fb.est friend"

£hat..she'Bven wrote two. songs.

about her four-legged pal titled"Little Darling" and "God andGood Holy Angels."

"A song and prayer to watchover my little angel, Connie,"she beamed with pride.

According to CharlotteMross, who takes care of ani-mals looking for homes, petscan be a wonderful source forlove and friendship for peoplelooking for companionship andfor handicap persons.

"I remember one lady whotook her dog to visit her moth-er-in-law in a local nursinghome every week. The resi-dents in the nursing home

"looked forward to"i;lrer~vi8itsf~Ms. Mross said.

Ms. Mross is always lookingfor good pet owners to adaptthe animals she takes in andstresses the need for people totake in pets that are also phys-ically impaired.

"Handicap pets need a homealso. We have one dog who isdeaf and we never noticed, butshe never came when she wasnot looking at the person call-ing her, she only understandssign language," she said.

If you need further informa-tion about how you can give apet a home or give someoneyou love a companion, contact•Charlotte Mross at-486-Q230.-:

Catholic School's Week,

" D e v e l o p m e n t a l l y

appropriate" is the basis

of the curriculum at the

preschool, relying on play,

hands-on manipulatives,

cognitive activities,

music, art, and motor

skills to facilitate learning.

Prayer is a daily part of

the program. The school's

affiliation with Saint

Walburga Monastery of

the Benedictine Sisters

allows the children to

interact with the nuns.

Inter-generatibnal activi-

ties are a regular part of

the program and enrich

the lives of the youngsters

and sisters alike. The

small class size (no more

than 16 at any one time)

permits much individual

attention where children

progress at their own pace

in an atmosphere that is

structured but not stress-

ful. Process rather than

product is emphasized as

the children grown in

independence and respon-

sibility and take pride in

their accomplishments.

Benedictine Preschool

is licensed by the State of

New Jersey for children 2-

1/2 to 5 years old. It wel-

comes students of all

races, colors, countries

and religions. The school

is open from 7:30 am until

5:30 pm. Full day, school

With .a recent five-game win-niiig-s'treak in a nine-day period,the: Cranford High boys, basket-ball . team was riding a pretty

"I. felt like we were going to hitthe wall," said CHS Head Coach

Tom Johnstone. "We'had-one badquarter and it hurt us. But.Linden is good arid very athletic."

Senior Kevin Feeley led-theCougars with 12 points Saturdayand junior Marc ; Petito' andsenior Kevin Glenn added 11 and10 points, respectively, forCranford; which scored 23 pointsless than its .7$ points pefgameaverage coming in.

Linden's Jamal Tate stole theshow for the visitors, scoring 33points, including 24 in the secondhalf.

But the Cougars, who are 7-0when scoring 70 points or more,consider their weekend loss aminor setback and it surely does-n't erase the good thirigs.they didin the previous five contests, inwhich they knocked.off ShabazziRahway, West Essex', .Westfieldand South Plainfield with a fairamount of ease." ' :

"I thought we were realljrclicking offensively, especiallyagainst Westfield and. SouthPlainfield," said Johhstone,whose team visits IrvingtonSaturday afternoon, ."You hitthose streaks where everythingseems to come, together. We hadthat killer instinct."

Something Feeley possessesall by himself, according ' toJohnstone, During their recentfive-game run, the senior forwardwas a scoring machine, raisinghis average to a team-best 19,4points per game. '•.•'.'

"He gets a lot of good looks atthe basket," said Johnstone. "Werun him off a lot of doublescreens. Whenever we needsomething to get us going, heseems to deliver it.". Behind Feeley in scoring forthe Cougars is 6-fo6t-3 senior for-ward Kevin Glenn, who is aver-

aging 10 points per game. AfterGlenn, Cranford has severalplayers scoring in, the 5-9 ppg.range, including senior AdrianMoore, who averages nine pointsand six rebounds a contest,.

Johnstone has been especiallyhappy with the recent play ofPetito (6,4 ppg.),,who little by lit-tle has taking on an increasingrole in the Cougar offense.

"Marc shoots the ball well andis • a real good passer,", saidJohnstone. "He has a good all-around game and has improvedtremendously. He's, going to be areal good, player for us next year." -

As for this year, Cranford'simmediate goals remains pretty.cut and dry.

"We. want to maintain a win-ning record and qualify for thestate playoffs by the cutoff date(Feb. 8)," said Johnstone, whoseteam, headed into Tuesday's

game against East'Side, neededjust, one more victory to:clinch apostseason berth. "I think wehave a.good shot.".

A couple of noteworthy gamescoming up on the Cougars' sched-ule are Feb. 3 at county-rankedUnion and Feb. 10 againstElizabeth in the Blue Devils finalregular-season home date of theseason. •.. Cranford knows defense will

be the key factor if it hopes tocompete with teams like Unionand Elizabeth in the final stretchof the regular Season.

"We have to outhustle the.other team because we're not big-ger than.them," said Johnstone.

. A 2-6 .dual-meet record enter-ing the week may not presentmuch reason for celebration.

But make no mistake, theyouthful Cranford Highwrestling team is starting to laydown a foundation, little by little,brick by brick.

"We're very young but theguys are coming along well," saidCranford Head Coach MikeArtigliere, whose team hostsRahway tomorrow night at 7 p.m."We knew this year would betough, but we're progressingwell. With 13 freshmen, we'reonly going to get better in thefuture."'

One wrestler who won't bepart of the distant future is vet-eran Nik Fekete,' who hopes tomake his final high school seasona memorable one. The seniorgrappler was 7-0 in the 189-pound weight spot beforeWednesday's meet against

Elizabeth, pinning all but one his ,opponents.

"Nik is on cruise control untilthe state tourney," saidArtigliere.

So far this season Fekete at189, and junior Pat Eckstrom (7-1) at 215 have been a solid one-two punch for Cranford in theupperweights.

"Pat is doing a great job," saidArtigliere. "He works out withNik every day and is comingalong."

Also wrestling well this seasonhas been.sophomore Jon Donofrioat 145. He brought a 6-1 recordwith him into Wednesday's scuf-fle with the Minutemen,

"Jon was the BloomfieldTournament champion, which isa great accomplishment for asophomore," said Artigliere onDonofrio, who beat Dan Dugan ofPassaic Valley in the BloomfieldTournament 145-pound final onDec. 28. "He has wrestled realwell."

But the Cougars know steal-ing one tomorrow night againstRahway will be a difficult task.

"They're a tough, real goodteam," said Artigliere on theIndians. "We hope to keep it closeand be competitive. That wouldbe a real good accomplishment,because they're an experiencedteam." •

From this focal point, families can sleep, eat,drop children off for kids' activities, ski the moun-r

CRANFORD — Edward'sStores have withdrawn plane tobuild a grovery store m Cranford,leaving residents and communi-ty groups torn over how the deci-sion affects their town

In a letter to Judge JohnPisansky of New Jersey SuperiorCourt in Elizabeth, attorneyBrian Fahey, who represents;Edward's and the South Avenue'property owners, informed the.judge that Edward's "rid longetwishes to be a party to these prot •ceedings".

According to the CranfordZoning Board, Edward's wasgiven approval to build at thelocation in mid-1996;Subsequently, a lawsuit was filedby the Lincoln HeightsAssociation Community Groupopposing the town's approval forthe 24:hpur grocery superstore.

• Although.Edward's has had achange of plans, property, ownerCrane Reality and ; Cranfordtownship officials are still defen-dants in,the LHA's.lawsuit. TheLHA contends that ' the proce-dures and decision: makingprocess failed-to comply with the

.law and that the approval was.arbitrary arid . ill founded. Thesuit also challenges the zoningchange that permits constructionof a supermarket ;.at'/the site as

•••unconstitutionally, vague, asapplied to the Crane Realty prop-:erty, in its definition of permitted;•uses ofthesite,..-. •'. '.' .

The LHA said.ihey were quitepleased by the company's deci-sion riot to open. r / .: "Most people don't realizewkhat the effects of a super storelike Edward's would have been. Itwould have backed up traffic, notjust on South Avenue, butthroughout downtown Cranford,"said LHA member B.J. Kowalski,"We are very glad that Edward'shas withdrawn;".' • ; '.'•.-

Howeyer, not all residents, arehappy about, the withdrawal,

especially, elderly residents who- .depend on others for transporta-

According tov.the'LJftA",; the:.'Edward's super store would.hayebrought more truck and car traf- 'fie than the roads could accom-!modate and it would have been ,

. an eyesore as well as a source of 'unwanted noise and crime during;the night. They would like to seethe Township Committee pass an! •ordinance against 24-hour obera-tion of retail stores. •; •' ;:

•': Mrs. Robertiello feels this willbe a terrible ;thirig for the senior :residents, who don't have their6wn cars. . . -

:' "We.don't have a supermarkei;;in town arid for the people whosay we don't need one, they have.

• their own transportation; They,.have cars arid can just get in1

them and travel we can't," shesaid. "We have to depend on thesenibr bus to takeus to the gro- 'eery stores in Garwood." ." :

She also feels it's foolish for sojmany Crariford dollars ,to be ,spent, iri other towns when the r•revenue could be used here. ' "• "Why should we have to gothere when we can shop here in.;;;town and reap.the benefits," Mrs.;•'•••Robertiello said; , ; •'•'. • •'

The outspoken community';group may think they have won

BVCHERYL HEHLCORRESPONDENT . .

•' | CRANFORD — Last week thetownship unveiled plans for a.$5;5, million Community Centerapd library on Walnut Avenue ata^public meeting.• i Township Administrator JohnLi ezza said work on the complexc6ujd begin as soon as June, withcompletion within one year. Mr.I^ezza also estimated the cost ofthe project will be between $30arid $60 per year for the averagehomeowner!

The two-story, 28,800-squarefoot center will be built next tothe Cranford Public. Library, con-nected by an atrium.'.-' Included in the communitycenter proposal are plans to ren-ovate the library, spending $1million on enlarging the presentbuilding.

Mr. Laezza said the complexwould include 145 parkingspaces, making it a "centrally-,located, multi-use center to servethe recreation, cultural and edu-cation needs of the entire com-munity." .

The designs, are the result of a history, adding the decision tothree-year project by the town- build a center was "not just aship arid the Board of EducationySafhim," but based on a needGrowing, school enrollments yaw. requiring "compromises to beforcing the Board of Education to made to accommodate changes," .

Mernbers of Cranforduse the former BloomingdaleSchool; site of the township's cur-rent Community Center.

Since building a new center isless expensive than building anew school, the township hasdecided to design a buildingspecifically for use as a communi-ty center. • ' • • ' •. During Thursday's meeting,Mr. Laezza detailed the center's

Township1 Committee have indi-cated their support for the pro-ject, but remain wary of thefinancial impact.

"This could be one of thelargest capital improvement pro-jects in years," CommitteemanThomas Denny said. "Perhaps in

. the history of the town."Mayor Wally Shackell indicat-

ed it was important for residentsto remember Bloomingdale •School was designed as a schooland not. a community- '.center,emphasizing the township"would get a lot more mileage outof the new center,"

Committeeman Philip Mprinurged residents "to keep listen-ing" and to provide their input,since the. center is "generallysomething people want andneed."

y GARWOOD— Years of debat-iiig and studies in Garwood willc^»me'to and end ori March 17,when a public referendum willaik voters to authorize an $11.2rJJillion bond issue to construct anew 63,000 sq. ft. elementary /twiddle school.VJ "Things are finally happening.It's been a long haul," says Boardqf Education chairman RaymondQrinies. The proposed new schoolUuildirig will replace bothEincoln-Franklin Schools andWashington School and consoli-rjate all school functions at theBJngle site.^Superintendent Reneetoward is hopeful noting, "I'mehcouraged. People across all agegroups are saying for the firstOme they know we need a news c h o o l . " •••";>\ Under the plan being proposedtijGarwpod's voters, the new,three-floor school would be con-structed at the site of theQarwood Rescue Squad over an!p3 month period without inter-rupting school schedules.

: Once completed, the first floorwill house Pre-K, Kindergarten,a gymnasium, a combinationauditorium /cafeteria, the princi-pal's arid board of educationoffices. Classes,2 to 5, art andmusic rooms will be on the sec-ond floor. The third floor willaccommodate the middle schoolgrades 6 to 8. The new design willalso incorporate an expandedtown and school library.

"This new building will allowus to take our good programs forthe students arid make themeven better," Ms. Howard pointsout.

State testinglast year in reading, writing andmath placed Garwood's eighthgraders above every UnionCounty town school systemincluding Westfield, Summit andClark except Cranford. Mr.Grimes says, "If we invest in'ourcommunity and build a newbuilding, it could be as good asthe academics." •

The school system is arrang-ing to swap part of theWashington School property forthe present Garwood Rescue

Squad property. Negotiations areincomplete but the cost of a new,modern rescue squad buildingfacing Locust Street would bepaid from the school bond issue.

Both of Garwood's schools con-tinually show their age and lastyear's incidents underscoreschool officials concerns.Washington School had a boilerfailure and fire while at Lincoln-Franklin School a steam pipeburst, a water main ruptured andpart of the front facade over theschool entrance fell.

The school board has approvedspending $2 million to maintainthe existing buildings over thenext five years. Other unexpectedmajor repairs would boost thecost. If the referendum isapproved, only part of thatmoney Would need to be spent.

"The schools are safe buteveryday we have a new prob-lem," notes Ms. Howard,

With the new building,Garwood's nine special educationstudents now sent out of towncan be taught in town at an esti-mated saving of $135,000 peryear. Howard points out as space
