So did her neighbors — Leon and LaurieCiampa and Cathy and Bilt Masciola.

When the eruption waa over, the homes of theHarrow Road residents had one to three inches ofraw sewerage on the floors.

That was six weeks ago. Today they wantanswers to why that happened.

Their memories of May 10 are vivid. Outsidetheir homes was the sound of a Department ofPublic Works truck.

"I could hear the engine outside," Mr. Ciampasaid. "I ran outside to tell them to stop because myhouse waa being flooded. The DPW workers saidthey were unblocking a block on Central Avenue.When they broke that block, it blocked up again100 feet down the road and the high pressure hosewas still on with an 8-inch sewer line.

T h e 1,500 pounds of pressure they used caused

a sampling of everybody in Westfields' toilet flush-ings to end up in our house," he added.

The residents came to the Ibwn Council meetinglast Wednesday to ask the town for help and to tellthe council about their experience.

The residents said their problem is not with thetown, but with Scibal Associates in Metuchen, theprofessional consultant to the Suburban MunicipalJoint Insurance Fund which is Westfield's insurer.The fund also insures several other towns.

The homes aro slab houses that do not havebasements so all of the sewerage backed up ontothe first floor living area. They said the clean updid not begin until throe days later when SeibalAssociates hired DRS (Disaster Recovery Service>to clean up and throw out anything that wan ahealth hazard because of the contamination. Theresidents lost furniture, personal belongings andtoys. Also, the houses were stripped of wallpajM>r,carpeting, sheet rock and doors.

"If action had been taken that night, the amountof damage would have been less than half theamount," Mr. Ciampa said.

"Other than the DPW and the Board of Health(Continued on page A-2)

Happy days to return at huge high school reunionRECORD-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

Ne*t weekend the hands of time willturn back to the 1960s, when crinolinesand loafers were the style, theCranteen was the hot spot forteenagers and everyone seemed toknow everyone.

For those planning to attend theFabulous Fifties Reunion for theCranford High School classes of 1950-59, everyone may be a little older andlife's adventures may have taken themaway from the township

"When we're together, it'll be likepicking up from the day after gradua-tion," one former classmate said.

Amazingly, more than 500 alumniand guests, some from as far as Hawaiiand Switzerland, will attend the festiv-ities. Plans for the event have been inthe works for more than a year, and ifthe mood at a recent reunion committeemeeting is any indication of things tocome, the fun has already started.

"The attachment we have for oneanother and CHS is unexplainable,"said Carol Lewis Vallucci, Class of1966.

The people who graduated fromCHS in the 60*8 were one big happyfamily," she said. "It's as if we're mem-bers of a special club.

i "We lived in a great town," Mrs.Vallucci said. "During that time every-thing was echool-oriented. No onemissed a football or basketball game.Proms were in the gym."

"Cranford has always been a socialtown and we're a social people," saidDuke Armstrong, whose Class of 1958was planning a 40th anniversaryreunion this year. He thought it wouldbe fun to include all classes from thatdecade.

"This will probably be the biggestsingle event in the history of CranfordHigh School," he said.

I think we have been successful ingetting such a good response becausethis just seems to be the right time todo something like this," said BarbaraSuarez Kaimer, Class of 1958.

"It really was a unique time to be inschool," Mrs, Kaimer said, "and thecamaraderie among us was and isgreat."

High school students got to knowunderclassmen then Bince CHS coveredthe seventh through 12th grades dur-ing the 1950s.

Hugh Delano, Class of 1952, washigh school sports correspondent forthe Cranford. Citisen and Chronicle, apredecessor to today's CranfordChronicle. His work spurred his inter-est in writing and led to his becoming a

sportswriter for the New York Post."Our generation was lucky," said

Steve "Sugie" Schlapak, Class of 1956."We didn't have drugs and some of theother problems kids today have. Weweren't choir boys, either, but it wasdifferent.

"Not many kids knew what theywanted to do in high school," said Mr.Schlapak, who went to college and lawschool while he was with the CranfordPolice Department.

"Times were different in the 50's,"said Bill Maher, Class of 1958. "All theguys had military obligations. If youwere going on to college, you weredeferred (from going into the military);if not, you had a duty to serve."

"It was definitely easier beingyounger then," said "Little" DonMcCord, Class of 1956, now an attorneyin Morristown. "I'm still waiting togrow up."

What fond memories do the class-mates of the 50's have? "Sadie andEmma" in the Spotlight, the CHS stu-dent newspaper, was a favorite.

"This was a gossip column thateveryone looked forward to eachmonth," said Joan Guerriero Vicci,Class of 1954, a "Sadie" who pointedout that everyone "really contributed"to it.

As part of the reunion entertain-

ment, the "Sadie and Emma Follies"will be revived as "Sadie and Emma2000 "

Another popular memory is going tothe Cranteen, a club where you couldgo dancing on a Saturday night for aquarter.

"I remember when we even thoughtit was fun to have a party in someone'scellar," Mrs. Kaimer said.

"Getting through the school daywithout getting into trouble is what Iremember," Mr. Armstrong said.

And the clothes: Layers and layers ofcrinolines under skirts were the rage,as were a simple straight skirt with acinch belt. Saddle shoes and loafterswere common footwear. Girls neverwore dungarees then. Jeans and T-shirts, a staple of today's teenwardrobes, were a no-no for 50's schoolattire.

The Rahway River was a big part ofCranford life in the 50's, whether it wasice skating in the winter or canoeing inwarmer weather.

"For many of us, we're still 16 or 17years old, waiting for Mr. Zimmerman(a former principal) to catch us doingsomething," Mr. Schlapak said.

Reunion festivities begin theevening of June 26 when the HansonHouse will open as a hospitality centerfor all incomng classmates. Some class-

es will hold reunions that night; 1954at the Cranford Hotel, 1966 at theHanson House and 1958 at the EchoLake Country Club in Mountainside.

CHS will be open for tours 10 a.m.-noon Saturday, June 27. The reunioncelebration will take place 3 p.m.-mid-night that day at Union CountyCollege. Class pictures will be takenand Comcast TV 35 will tape this one-time event; copies of the tape will beavailable for purchase.

"This reunion ia celebrating a verygood time and place," Mr. Maher said."When I tell people I'm getting togetherwith my high school classmates, theylook at me funny.

"Cranford was and is a specialtown," he said. "It's a credit to the townthat we still get together."

"Reunions get better as time goes,by," said Mr. Delano. "At your five- and10-year reunions, many times you don'tgo because of family responsibilities oryou do go to make an impression.

"As you get older," the former sports-writer said, "it doesn't matter if youwere a cheerleader or a scholar. Whatdoes matter most is that you wereclassmates."

Walk-ins are welcome the day of thereunion. For more information, callMrs. Vetlucci at (908) 276-9072 or Mrs.Kaimer at (908) 221-0917.

everyone with the town has tried4o help us, especially the mayor,.he has listened to our complaintsAnytime we call," Ms. Del MonicoMid.

"He oame here the night ithappened when his wife was athome nine months pregnant,"Mr. Ciampa said. "He walkedthrough the raw sewerage andtold us we should leave and staysomewhere else."'• The Clampaa left with their 6*)mottth-old, 3-year-old and 5-year-old to stay with family inAtapUwood, the Masciola* leftwith their 2 year-old daughter toaiay with family in MounUin-

side.The Del Monicos do not have

family in the area and are stay-ing in their house with theirthree sons ages 16, 21 and 24because they said ScibalAssociates would not providehousing for them.

"At this point in time I reallycan not comment," said JimColapietro of Scibal Associates."It is an ongoing ftle."

Ten days after the first sewerage overflow, it happened againto the Mknu homes.

Dan Kelly, superintendent ofPublic Works Department, saidthe problem was caused in twodifferent areas where roots had

infiltrated the sewer line."It was a root problem in the

sewer line, tree roots were grow-ing in the sewer line, that's whatcaused the back up, a commonsituation in sewer lines," Mr.Kelly said.

"They are at the lowest pointBO the hydraulic pressure of thewater pushed back up into theirhouses."

"The experience and losswhich these families are endur-ing is truly unfortunate," saidJim Gruba, Councilman andWestttold's representative to thejoint insurance fund. "The claimii being handled in the pre-scribed manner for such losses.

The management of the claim isthe responsibility of the fund'sprofessional consultant ScibalAssociates."

"The town has requested thatScibal address the losses andinconvenience of the residents inthe fastest and most helpful waypossible." Mr. Gruba added.

Restoration has begun on allthree homes.

"We want the job finished fair-ly," Gerry Del Monico said. "Idon't want to live here for anoth-er six weeks, waiting for people'smeetings that have an affect onmy immediate life."

"We made it very dear toScibal Associates tfcat theyshould do ail that is powibto togive these people hack theirlives," Mayor Jardim said. "And Iwould expect that they wouldfood over backwards to b* as

Graduates should thanksupporting players

Pomp and circumstance. Gowns and grins. Tasselsand tears.

Graduation marks a time to say goodbye to the pastand hello to the future. It is a time to reflect on how wegot to where we are today and speculate where wemight be tomorrow.

All too often, lost in all that reflection and specula-tion is the fact that graduation is a team effort.

While each diploma bears the name of only one recip-ient, there is a long line of supporting players whodeserve "assists" in this accomplishment - teachers,coaches, advisers, friends, and family.

Just as the graduates are proud of completing thisphase of their education, of their lives, all the support-ing players deserve congratulations as well. With theirguidance, wisdom and patience, they helped the gradu-ates travel along each step of the road to this destina-tion.

But this is not the end of the journey, only a cross-road. The graduates face many new roads ahead. Theywill travel those roads bolstered by all their "supportingcast" has given them.

Congratulations to the members of the Class of 1998at Westfield High School, Scotch Plains-Fanwood HighSchool and Union Catholic Regional High School.

In the midst of your celebration, pause to rememberand thank all those who helped you along the way.Savor the moment before you begin your new journey.

the (Tbwn) Council's recent passage of a commercialand residential property maintenance code.

Some have criticized the council's unanimoussupport of setting aside $100,000 for the possibleacquisition of the site and the rehabilitation of itinto a "pocket park." What must be understood,however, ia that it was only after the council includ-ed this fttnding in its 1908 budget that the ownersof the site have Anally moved to develop the sitethemselves. Thus, despite the criticism, we havebeen successful in removing thin unacceptable eye-sore from our central business district.

There are aa many reasons for doing nothing asther* are those who will be critical of nothing get-ting done. This council preferred to take action, andfor that we should all be thankful

Daughter continues to reach out to DadWhen I was a little girl my dad

wag my idol, my hero and the one4toraon who was able to makethings right. Although we've bothchanged in so many ways over theyears, this special bond has not.

I treasure the story of thenight I was born, because intnany ways it set the stage for the•bond we would share. And itTeminds .me how very much alikewe really are.* I Back then fathers were{sequestered in a room together,destined to wait out the birth oftheir children chain-smoking andimaginging the worse until some-one's name was called and lifetook on an entirely new meaning.Then, led to a glass window,where his new child was guardedby a stern-faced nurse shootingmenacing looks from her sterilefortress, he gazed in wondermentat someone who would eventuallycall him dad. But dad would havenone of it. After braving WorldWar II it would take more than anurse to keep his daughter fromhim.

He waited until the coast wasclear, strode bravely into thenursery and picked me up, proud-ly proclaiming to anyone withinearshot and then some, "This ismy little girl, my daughter." Whowouldn't adore a man like that?

I learned early on this mancalled daddy was a special man,one who could leap tall buildingsin a single bound and in his ownquiet way instill in me a sense ofadventure and wonder, not tomention that nothing was ever sobad it couldn't be repaired.

I remember racing to the cor-ner every night at 4:55, waiting

Shenanigans

ByCheryl Hehl

and waiting for the ride thatwould bring him home. Alwayswhistling and smiling, he leapedfrom the car, handed me a stick ofgum, grasped my hand in hisrough, calloused hand and head-ed for home. It was our timetogether, a tradition we wouldcontinue until I graduated fromhigh school, It was on those shortwalks he would hear all my tri-umphs and tribulations and offerhelp he thought fell on deaf ears.But it didn't.

Even back then I could see wewere very much alike. Wheneveryone bemoaned the fact theywere handed lemons, dad simplywhistled a happy tune and taughtme that it was easier to makelemonade than complain. Nocloud was ever so ominous that asilver lining couldn't be found,something I would later learnwas the greatest gift he ever gaveme.

But it would be his hands Iwould remember most, for theyalways seemed to reveal so muchabout this seemingly, uncompli-cated man who was my father.From the strong hands that laidbrick with precision and artistryto the stiffened, 86-year-oldhands that grasp mine now, the

times of my life are all there,etched in lines that tell the storyof a father and his daughter.

I came to understand the manhe was through the stories he toldon hot summer nights when wesat on the front porch, sippingiced tea and swatting mosquitoes.He told me about climbing abridge and diving into the clean,clear water of the Rahway River,of moonlit nights when he dancedwith a blue-eyed girl at the LogCabin in Clark and standing onthe front steps of a house wherehe finally got the nerve to ask forher hand in marriage.

There were other stories ofhands that held his buddies asthey lay dying on battlefields halfa world away, of hands that wrotehundreds of letters to a placecalled home. Those same handswould travel thousands of miles,finally, to swing him off a trainand into the arms of his wife andson.

Those hands would teach mehow to ride a bike and knew whento let go and watch me soar on myown. They would teach me how tomix cement and lay brick, changea tire and shift gears in a car.They put up the Christinas tree,built fires, raked leaves and putcold cloths on my forehead when Iwas sick.

The hands I would cherish themoat were the ones 1 knew werethe hardest for him to extend:moments when he clumsily but-toned my prom dress, held myarm outside a church where Ibelieved "till death do us part"awaited and he didn't, steadyingme when I saw my 2-pound new-born daughter fo rthe first time,

wiping his own tears when just ashort year later he watched hisgrandson buried. Or when he car-ried his mother's casket withsteady hands that never betrayedhis grief.

A few years later, it was hishands that hugged me tight whenlife grew too hard to bear, patient-ly guiding me back to a placewhere the clouds parted and rain-bows promised happier days.When I watched him turn thepages of a book for my children,hoist them high in the air orwatch their tiny hand in his, Iwould smike with pride becausethey adored him as much as I did.

The time would come when hewould need me and I would bethere. I would carefully feed himand read stories about Giantsfootball victories, holding in mytears until he fell asleep.

I suppose it's hard to under-stand the bond daughters havewith their fathers, but some-where between adoration andrespect exists n man who cannever be replaced in the heart ofhis child. It grows with years ofcareful care, made strong by timeand tears, nourished by things sointangible they remain a mysteryeven yearB later.

Now, so many years later,when my dad grasps my hand, itis me who steadies him as hetakes careful steps.

It is my hand that puts latheron his face and carefully shaveshim, and his hands that reach outto thank me. But I'm the one whois thankful because I've had a life-time of love from a man whothinks the world of me becauseI'm his little girl, no matter howold I get.

This Father's Day, reach outand touch your dad no matter thedistance between you and him. Beit miles or differences, if youreach out, he will be there. That'swhat dads do.

As it should be.
