SID budget to be presented•y KAWMlffZTHE RECORD !"~

Property owners, tenants and residentswill have an opportunity to review the pro-posed budget for the Special ImprovementDistrict (SID) 8 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 8 Inthe Town Council chambers.

The proposed SID budget for 1997 totals$214,800, or about 5? percent of the possibleassessment allowed by the municipal ordi-nance, which provides the SID a special butassessment of up to 10 percent maximumabove the regular municipal tax bill on prop-erties within the SID.

These ftinds will be spedflcally designatedfor improvements within the district, andwill not replace projects now sponsored bythe town.

As proposed, the individual rate will totalabout 28 cents per $100 of the properties'assessed values.

The proposed budget is broken down intofour areas. This allowed the DowntownWestfield Corp., which directs the SID, to bemore focused when preparing the budget,said Chairman Joseph Specter.

"We discussed well over 300 items to in-clude in the budget, and we didn't want tokill people with the tax, and we know regu-

lar taxes will be going up because ofchanges in school funding" he said.

The design section, totaling $43,300, listsprograms aimed at enhancing the appear-ance of the SID, including facade renova-tion, landscaping improvements, a cleansweep program and sidewalk washings.

At $43,000, the promotion package wouldfinance the implementation of about fournew promotional events and the creation ofcirculars designed to advertise the down-town businesses as a group.

The $20,000 budgeted for economic re-structuring would fund an information pack-et for new and prospective businesses and

recruitment efforts, such as market analysisand strategic planning.

The largest part of the proposed budget —organization - Itemizes necessary adminis-trative costs such as legal, insurance, ac-counting fees, office equipment and salaryto a program supervisor. Totaling $108,500, itis less than other SIDs, which typically re-port administrative costs at 60 percent oftheir total budget.

Once the Downtown Westfield Corp. pre-sents its proposed budget to the public nextweek, it will be put before the Town Councilfor approval. The budget will then be ap-

Frozen scenery greets shoppersBy KAREN BfTZTHE RECORD

"WESTFIELD — A gaggle of last-minuteshoppers were able to enjoy some addedscenery as they swarmed through downtownWestfield Dec. 23.

Throughout the streets of downtown werethe remains of several ice sculptures thatwere created during the 1096 Westfield Homefor the Holiday Ice Sculpting Contest Dec. 22.

"We had about 13 carvers, which may be anall-time high," said the event's organizer, Jo-seph Spector of the Leader Store.

The contest left the streets filled with icy

figures. Most of these statues illustrated itemsassociated with the cold weather, but the blueribbon went to a group of youngsters whorecreated Manhattan's Empire State Building.

Boy Scout Troop 79 of St. Helen's Church,led by Jim McCluskey, captured first place inthe event for sculpting the skyscraper towhich they adhered a stuffed monkey depict-ing King Kong. .

"It's very hard to pick (a winner) becausethey are all so talented," Mr. Spector said.

Morris Segal of Cranford won second prizefor his model of a polar bear.

Mr. Spector said the judging strives to befair in the contest and only those who sculpt

with hand tools are including in the contest.Westfield Police Department's own Scott

Rodger participates in the events annuallyblit is not eligible to win because of his pen-chant for power tools.

"He gets special recognition but we can'tinclude him," Mr. Spector said.

This year, Mr. Rodger created a set of threeChristmas carolers on the corner of Quimbyand Elm streets.

Unseasonably warm temperatures did notallow any of the sculptures to stick around forlong, however, and all the creations are nowonly puddles on the sidewalks of downtown.

CommentaryCrime hits WHSLet's hope school, policeare taking thefts seriouslyIt looks like Westflekt High School's sparkling image has

been tarnished a bit. No, we're not talking about poor testscores. Academic achievements are still among the best inNew Jersey. We're talking about crime.

For the past few weeks, several items have been stolenfrom the boys lockerroom. Items such as wallets, a ring anda watch have been ripped off. One student, a basketballplayer, even had a pair of jeans swiped.

It haani been just students who have been victimized. Ahigh school coach has had his wallet, necklace, a watch anda priceless NCAA championship ring lifted.

Tht high school athletic director told the Weatfield Recordin an exclusive Page One story that "kids don't lock.theirlockers and things disappear." Well, that wasn't the casewhen it came to the coach. His locker was locked; the craftycrook was able to remove the goods by sticking a wirehanger through the locker's grates.

Let's hope the high school and Westfteld police are takingthis seriously. Just because you're Westfteld High Schooldoesn't mean you're immune to crime.

Don't forget First Nightlooking for something to do on New Year's Eve besides

tit in a smoky bar with a lot of people you don't know? Whynot check out First Night in Westfleld.

First Night has been dubbed an alcohol-free, familyfriendly celebration of the arts. You don't have to be fromWestfleld to come. People from Scotch Plains, Fanwood andCranford are expected to join the fun.

The event begins 6 p.m. New Year's Eve with a townwideprocession starting at North and Central avenues. After that,more than 30 events will go on simultaneously throughouttown.

Buttoni, which allow entry into all the events, arc avail-able for $10 each. You can get them at the "Y" and otherplaces in town.

the state it behind First Night, too. In a prats release toTh# Record, state Attorney General Peter VemJero takl,"This celebration takes the place of the drinking and late-night parties that can result in drunk driving crashes andrasutttng totalities."

Why not give It a try? It promlass to be a celebration withsomtthtaig tor everyone. This is Weatfleld's first shot at firstNight I t needs your support to make First Night an annualevent.

Saturday night basketball border battleScotch Plains-Fanwood High hosts Blue Devils in local hoops showdown iTHSRBOORD

Although the two teams may begeographically attached, they arecertainly headed in opposite direc-tion*.

The WeatOeld and Scotch Plain*Fanwood high school basketballteami will meet Saturday inScotch Plaim at 7:30 p.m. the nat-ural rivalry will make this a closefame, but the way the two teamshave started the season is very dif-ferent

Both compete in the very toughWatchung Conference againstsome of the finest athletes in thestate. But while Westfiekl's Blue

Devils were 0-3 through gamesplayed Friday night, the youngRaiders had started 3-0 and werebrimming with confidence.

"I really like the way we'veplayed through the first threegames of the year," said RaidersHead Coach Willie Leonard. "Wemay not be the most talented teamout there, but our first seven oreight guys certainly like playingwith one another."

"We've lost our first three gamesbut only by nine points, so we'reright there," said Devils HeadCoach Stewart Carey. "WheneverWestfield plays Scotch Plainsthere's a lot of intensity so I knowour club will be up for that game."

The Raiders are playing theirbest *ffM*H' in yean due to thepresence of a new-found star and

some excellent role players. Sopho-more Maurice Boatwright is scor-ing at will every night out and car-rying the Raiders offensively.

"Maurice is a young guy and isgetting better every time he stepsonto the court," said Leonardi. "Hecan drive to the basket and he hasa good touch - but there is somuch room for improvement He'sstill getting stronger and hell justget better."

"Scotch Plains has some goodplayers with some experience andthat will help them," said Carey."Coach Leonardi always has thosekids ready to play and I don't ex-pect anything different this week."

Along with Boatwright, the Raid-ers have received solid play from

starters Tom Walsh, Jeff Feighner,Dave Gerwitz and Doug Bishop.Gerwitz scored 12 points againstCotonia Friday night while Feign-her had M.

"All those guys are doing thephysical work on the boards andscoring to help out Maurice," saidLeonardi. "Jeff and Dave hit theboards real hard without muchheight and that helps our team anawful lot"

"They have a lot of returningplayers who have experience in theWatchung Conference," said Carey."Scotch Plains i» playing real hardright now so we need to be readyfor a battle."

Happy 1997 ... and farewell!Weekend Plus editor says goodbye

ByNATHWSHASHOUA' VMBotantfPtoedNor

This it where I itep out from be-hind the curtain.

As you read this, I will alreadyhave begun my new job as acopy editor at the York Dispatch

and Sunday Newt in York, Pa. After threeyears at Forbes Newspapers and ninemonths as Weekend Ptus editor, these lastfew weeks became an exhilarating experi-ence. Every moment, both inside and out-side the office, was heightened.

1 would not have traded the opportunityto edit this section for you, its readers, foranything. As I brought them to you, I my-self discovered Central Jersey's rich arts,leisure and entertainment offerings, in(Um, theater, music, the spoken word andthe visual arts.

Recently, regular listings of poetry read-ings were added to Plus's "What to do"section. Readings are not always sched-uled in time for our deadline*, so I urgeanyone with an interest in poetry to attendthe following regularly held readings:"ProtetkuR," t:30 p.m. on the first Mondayof each month at the Melody Bar in NewBrunswick; "Poets Wednesday," 8 prn. onlb» second Wednesday of each month atth» Barren Arts Center in Woodbridge, the

Butterfleld's series, 8 p.m. on the thirdTuesday of each month at Butterfleld's,Albany Street in New Brunswick; "OlTThePage," 7:30 p.m. on the third Thursday ofeach month at the Metuchen library; andthe "Peach Fisheries" readings, 8 p.m. onthe last Thursday of each month at Chap-ter One Books in Highland Park. If thestirrings of poetry are in your heart, butyou have a way to go to articulate themproperly (as I do), attending these readingswill help you find your way.

Professional theater is thriving and vi-brant in Central Jersey. New Brunswickboasts a theater row of the State, theGeorge Street Playhouse and the Cross-roads. Metuchen is home to the Forum.The productions at these theaters ofteninclude top talents working in theatertoday. You can't go wrong seeing one oftheir shows. Also within arm's reach isPrinceton's McCarter, of an equal or pos-sibly greater caliber. Community andavant-garde theater can also be found ifyou're looking for it.

This brings me to the area closest to myheart, film. As always, the good films werethere if you know how to look for them;those in the movie business agree.

"1 think the state of American cinema Inthe last three or four years is realty actu-

ally very good," says actor Kevin Spacey,whose directorial debut, Albino Alligator,promises to be one of the better films ofnext year. "I dont always look to the big-ger studio films, but the independentmovement in the United States in the lastthree or four years has been really incred-ible. There's just a lot of really interestingfilmmakers exploring a lot of differentideas in a lot of different ways."

I hope Weekend Plus helped you findsome of these films, either as they playedin theaters or at Rutgers University's year-round New Jersey Film Festival, whichcontinues to screen a mix of new films,classics and foreign (are. Of the past year'smovies, the ones that will probably staywith me are Angels and Insects, Big Night,Jerry Maguin, Land and Freedom, LoneStar, and Trainspotting. Also right upthere are Fargo, Flirting With Disaster andMan Attacks.' If you haven't seen these,try to catch them.

As much as I might sometimes like tothink so, I did not assemble this sectionalone.

In Somerville, I would like to thank theSunrise Luncheonette for their coffee, Lit-tle Thai House for great lunches and ThePackaging Depot, which bore witness tomy Job search.

I would also like to thank Helen Zorellaof Manville, my landlady during my firstthree months as Plus editor, for puttingup with me.

For their personal and professional sup-port, ] must thank Andrew McEwen, VeraCnrley, Art Swift, Minx McCloud, EvelynHall, Kevin Mooney and Michael Dennis.

I lenve Weekend Pltu in the capablehands of Alex S&ville.

1 will miss it, but that's all right.While 1 am usually the last person to

use a sports analogy, one Bivms fittingnow. Philadelphia lTU]i<in.TS{xntswriU.>rBill Lyon, writing about tho last 7fiersgame ut the old Spectrum, xuul, "Somo-timcB it is good to leave. This is one ofthose times."

I couldn't have said it any IM-UIT.

Travolta's charm fails to save MichaelBy JEFFREY COHEN

WBekendPkaflm critic4

John Travolta is about ascharming an actor as isworking today, and hischarm is on full view in

Michael, Nora Ephron's comedyabout an angel discovered by threeemployees of a supermarket tab-loid. That's the good news. The badnews is the whole rest of themovie.

Travolta plays the title character,a doughy, hairy, chain-smokingangel who is constantly looking forwomen. This is clearly not yourFranklin Mint-plate type angel,and the first sight of him is veryeffective, as reporters WilliamHurt, Robert Pastorelli and AndieMacDowell gape at this very ordi-nary looking man who happens tohave huge wings.

The idea of a grungy angel onearth is the best thing aboutMichael. But the script, by Ephron,her sister Delia, and two otherscreenwriters, includes plotlinesmuch less believable. For example,it asks us to believe that Hurt andPastorelli's jobs are on the line be-cause their boss, a Rupert Murdochclone played by Bob Hoskins,needs PastoreUt's dog, Sparky.Sparky, apparently, has becomemuch beloved by the tabloid'sreaders, and has his own columnin the paper. The dog will loomlarge in the plot, and none of itmakes a lick of sense.

It also doesn't make much sense

Truth A*mtVmUm*4g Okay, so it's not a great com-

tdy. It's not «v»n a great movie.But it has Janeanc Gorofalo as itacenter, and that's enough. In a•tar-making performance, Ganrfatoptaya a woman who eaniWem her-•atf unattractive and thtraftm co-cross her friend (Uma Thurman)into pretending to be her whtn agreat guy who knows only hervolet comas calling. Trust me. It'snot going to be a classic, but maybtt thought of at the movto thatlaunched Jancane Gwrnfaki't movfc*

that in the '90s, when highly paidtabloid reporters are stuck by theside of the road with a flat tire, notone of them has a cellular phone tocall the auto club. But hey, thatangel guy is a hoot, isn't he?

Michael has a puckish sense ofhumor, claims to have inventedstanding in line, and gives off anodor that is apparently catnip towomen. He is not so much a char-acter as a problem-solving plot de-vice, but Travolta does what he canwith Michael, and that keeps themovie from being unwatchable.

The romance between MacDow-ell and Hurt, however, borders onthe precious, and all the brouhahaabout the dog really puts themovie over the edge. This, comingfrom the director of Sleepless in Se-attle and the screenwriter of WhenHarry Met Sally, is baffling. Untilone remembers that Ephron is alsoresponsible for Mixed Nuts, theSteve Martin comedy that floppedso fast it barely showed up on Hol-lywood's radar screens.

Ephron does know how to makea movie flow, so Michael neverlags, except for an overiong se-quence toward the end that, onceagain, invokes Sparky as the cen-ter of the film. She wastesHoskins, a very filnny actor whengiven the right part, Pastorelti anda few other stars in cameos. JeanStapleton does a nice job with herrole as the motel owner who firstdiscovers Michael in Iowa andalerts the tabloid. But, like so

John Travolta stars as a scruffy angel In Michael.

many others, she's barely on thescreen before she's gone.

The movie clearly belongs toTravolta, and he knows it. Sittingin the back of a station wagon withthe window open (it's Christmas inthe Midwest, and there isn't somuch as a flake of snow visible),laughing at his own jokes and de-manding to see the world's largesthall of twine, Michael is clearlyhaving the time of his life. So isthe actor.

Turf grasses benefit the environmentByCtMtES.UPTAKWeekend Plus writer

Lawn grasses are the realworkhorses of our land-scapes when it comes toprotecting and improving

our environment. Turf grasses andother plants cool our living spaces,remove pollutants and carbon di-oxide from theair, and replacethem with oxy-gen.

Beside makingus feel coolerwhen we see agreen lawn, turfgrasses actuallyreduce the tem-perature of the'Soil surface byabout 30 or 40 ,,, • ———————degrees. This reduction in tem-perature is certainly the reason soilmicroorganisms, earthworms andnil the other soil critters can sur-vive our hot summers and not getbaked to a crisp.

Like other plants, turf grassesuse carbon as a basic buikling ma-

; terial. They convert it to starch to' use for growth. And they'll use car-' ton in any form they can get Themost common source is carbon di-oxide, but these days plants getlots of their carbon when they ab-j and degrade air pollutants,

Two other processes — filteringrain water and preventing soil ero-sion — are the primary domain ofturf rather than trees and shrubs.When lawns are maintained ac-

A dense lawn has about 850growing points per square foot,which is one of the reasons it soefficiently cleans pollutants fromair and rain water. Rain waterslows down as it hits dense turf,The pollutants it carries are thentrapped in the thatch and surfacesoil, where they are promptly at-tacked and degraded by all thoselife forms in a healthy soil.

Lawns that are sparse allow themost serious and common form ofwater pollution to occur. In a heavyrain, soil on sloping ground erodes.

If the soil particles are carrying fer-tilizer and pesticides, they end upin our water as well. The fate ofphosphorus is a case in point; it'simportant for seeding new lawnsand for root growth in establishedlawns.
