BOE OkaysCurriculumRevisions

By SUSAN DYCKMANSptcially Writunfcr Vu Tuns

The ScotcbPlains-Fanwood Boardof Education unanimously approvedcurriculum changesatScotchPlains-Fanwood High School for the newschool year during its public meetingon September 25.

Prior to the roll call vote, discus-sion focused on the recommendationto change the social studies course,"You and the Law," to a year-longprogram of study for five credits firomthe current 2.5-credit, single semes-ter course.

The recommendation toextend thelength of the program came from theSocial Studies Department, highschool Principal Terry Riegel and thedistrict Curriculum Committee.

Assistant Superintendent for In-struction, Dr. John R. Crews, ex-plained, "Our students' visits to col-leges are revealing that colleges arefrowning on semestercourses, prefer-ring full-year programs of study."

"You and the Law" is a popularcourse among local high school se-niors. It studies state and local lawand law enforcement, and highlightssome federal laws or movements thataffect adolescents and young adults.

"The students are asking for morerigor," Superintendent of Schools, Dr.Carol B. Choye, said. "A year-longcourse has higher expectations forthe students enrolled in it."

BoardmemberAugustL. Ruggieroproposed an amendment to break theclass into a two-semester course forfive credits. He argued that studentswho might not want to commit totaking the course for the whole yearwould have the option to register fora second semester if the course werebroken into two segments.

While fellow board member AlbertJ. Sy veitsen supported Mr. Ruggictv 'sproposal, the amendment was ulti-mately defeated.

Despite his concerns that a year-long course would attract only "topstudents," board member RichardMeade supported the proposed cur-riculum changes.

"This is an area where itisappropn-ate to recognize the professional de-cision of the educators in our dis-trict," he maintained. "It's not ourjobto step into that role."

He asked for feedback on studentenrollments theclassonce the 1998-1999 school year is underway,

Charles H. Brandt, the attorney forthe Fanwood Board of Adjustment,made a two-hour presentation to thePlanning Board last Wednesday con-cerning proposed revisions to theborough's zoning ordinance.

The board will review the ordi-nance over the next several weeksand is expected to discuss it duringthe body's October 13 agenda ses-sion and October 22 regular meeting.

Mr. Brandt, who will retire as attor-ney for the Boardof Adjustmentattheend of the year, has workedon updat-ing the ordinance with the BoroughCouncil's Building and Zoning Com-mittee over the last four years.

During last week's regular meet-ing, Mr. Brandt gave a comprehen-sive overview of more than 20 sepa-rate articles contained in the ordi-nance, covering everything from zonechanges to the proposed placementof cellular towers.

Some of the proposed revisionsreflect the advanced technology, aswell as changes in business, whichhave evolved over the past four de-cades. The revisions are the first to bedone since the zoning ordinance wascreated in the 1950s.

Mr. Brandt reported that severalzone changes have been proposedunder the revised ordinance. He saidthe zone currently designated asLight Industrial, which he identifiedas the area south of the A&Pon SouthAvenue tothcPlainfieldbonter, wouldbecome General Commercial.

He said the Light Industrial Zonehad traditionally been home to manu-facturing firms which had sprung upduring the World War II era, but whichfor the most part have been replacedby retail and automotive establish-ments.

According to Mr. Brandt, the re-vised ordinance also proposes to "sig-nificantly" broaden the central com-mercial zone, which currently en-compasses both sides of Marline Av-enue, to include South Avenue, FirstStreetand La Grande Avenue as well.

The updated ordinance would notinclude provisions for senior citizenhousing along Old South Avenue,which was deemed financially im-

Immigration Law Extension Buys Time for LocalFamily Seeking to Stave Off Return to TrinidadBy SUSAN DYCKMAN

Sptdally Writttnfcr Hit Tumi

Last week, a national news storyplayed out close to home as ScotchPlains residents William andGracelynn Aberdeen and their twochildren trieddesperately tostaveoffa return to their native Trinidad.

The immigrant family was work-ing against the clock as the days

ticked down to the September 30deadline for remaining in the UnitedStates while applying for legal resi-dence. Under new legislation, Sec-tion 245 of the Immigration Law,unlawful immigrants would be re-quired to leave the country to applyfor legal status at United States con-sulatesabroad. That could take years.

The Aberdeen family was booked

out of the country on a September 27flight in the event the long-awaitedconfirmation of their legal statusfailed to arrive from the Immigrationand Naturalization Service (INS).

This week, the family is breathinga little easier following a telephonecallfromCongressmanBobFranksat7 p.m. on September 26. TheCongressman's office, to whom the

Aberdeens had appealed for assis-tance, advised them that an exten-sion of the law allowing undocu-mented immigrants to file for legalstatus here in the United States in-stead of abroad was pending in theHouse of Representatives.

'Fanny Wood' Brings10,000 to Downtown

By SUZETTE STALKERSptdally Wriltn/br Jht Tumi

Fanwoodianscouldn'thave pickeda better day to welcome back theirnamesake, as enthusiastic crowdsfilled the borough's downtown lastSaturday for the second annual"Fanny Wood Day" celebration.

Approximately 10,000 peopleturned out for the event, which isnamed for a popular folklore charac-ter. Sunny skies and mild tempera-tures added to the celebratory atmo-sphere at the festival.

Merchants, vendors and craftersdisplayed an array of merchandise,ranging from clothing, jewelry andgifts, to food, household goods andsouvenirs, at tablesandbooths whichlined Martine and South Avenues.

There also were games and activi-ties for children, musical entertain-ment and a collection of educationalexhibits. Youngsters got to climbaboardafire engine from 1947,and arestored hose cart, circa 1890, wasalso on display.

Jack Run, a former Assistant FireChief in Fanwood, explained that thehose cart, which had to be pulled bytwo men, was used by the Fanwood

Fire Company even before the areawas designated asaborough in 1895."We're older than the borough," heremarked.

The Celebration Singers, a 16-voice ensemble, performed a variedchoral program including such tradi-tional selections as "Danny Boy""Song of Galilee" and "O Solo Mio,"featuring baritone Pat Cutaned ofBernardsville.

"We've had a fabulous day," re-marked Mayor MaryanneS. Connellyduring the festival. "We've had ravereviews from a lot of attendees, mer-chants and vendors. I think we've hada lot of new people involved, too."

Mayor Connelly came up with theidea for "Fanny Wood Day last yearas a way to celebrate the borough's.heritage.

"It's a beautiful day, a great turn out—we're very, very pleased," remarkedSally Drewes, Manager of Irma's Hall-mark on Marline Avenue, which wascrowded with shoppers.

Across the street, Hans Jessen, co-owner of A Tasteful Touch with hispartner, Eric Sinka, also was doingbig business. "I think it brings busi-

practical, or for low- and moderate-income housing. .'.

Mr. Brandt stated that Fanwood'saffordable housing requirements un-lder the Mount Laurel agreement hadalready been satisfied.

The attorney revealed that under:the revised ordinance, restrictionsregarding home occupations wouldbe a "a lot more stringent," particu-larly concerning the amountof trafficwhich would be generated by suchbusinesses.

He said that while the existing or-dinance allowed for one employee ina home occupation situation, the re-vised document would not permitany employees who did not live at theresidence.

Mr. Brandt added that doctors anddentists would no longer be able topractice within their residences, al-though those whodo so already wouldbe permitted to continue. Under therevised ordinance, medical officeswould have to be located either incentral commercial or professionalzones, he said.

Mr. Brandt anticipated that one ofthe most controversial aspects of theupdated ordinance would involve thelocation of cellular towers, which arcused to transmit signals to peopleusing mobile telephones. There arccurrently no cellular towers in theborough.

Mr. Brandt, who serves as trie TownAttorney in Westfield, said that thereare three cellular towers in the town,but they are located on top of themunicipality's tallest buildings.

He explained that Fanwood docsnot have the same type of buildingsas Westfield docs , and thathomeowners typically frown uponhaving the towers in residential areasfor aesthetic reasons. Il is an issuewhich he felt would require "morediscussion and thought."

Other articles discussed by Mr.Brandt address the purpose and scopeof the ordinance, definitions relatedto zoning issuesand the organizationof the Planning Board and Boards ofAdjustment. Officials are currentlyconsidering a proposal to merge thetwo boards.

The ordinance also contains ar-ticles dealing with requirements forapproval of applications; site plansand subdivisions; sexually-ori-ented businesses; general provi-sions concerning setback allow-ances; accessory uses; storage ofvehicles in residential neighbor-hoods; commercial signs; exoticpets, and parking.

Democratic Freeholder Majority Stands FirmOn Ending Full Health Benefits for Retirees

\

By PALL J.PEYTONSpn tally Written for The Leader and The Times

Calling it politically motivated,the Democratic majority on theUnion County Board of Chosen Free-holders voted last Thursday againsta.Republican sponsored resolutionwhich would have reinstated fullhealth-care benefits forretired countyemployees.

Following a report earlier this yearon the package. Democrats decidedto rescind the offer to retirees at theend of the year due to lower savingsthan expected. Projections on thenumber of employees who wouldtake advantage of the program werealso below what county officials hadhoped.

The resolution was defeated, 5-3,as the five Democrats present votedagainst reinstating the benefits.

, Freeholder Chairwoman Linda d.Stender noted that employees retir-ing through Monday, December I,will still be able to take advantage ofthe program.

The resolution, sponsored by Free-holder Frank H. Lehr, would havereinstated the Republican-sponsoredresolution, which provided full ben-efits to employees with 25 years ofservice and who have reached 65.

The benefits were effective forindividuals retiring as of September1,1995, a date that was later amendedto January 1,1996. Rates were cappedat the 1995-1996 level with increasespaid by the retiree.

Earl ier this year those benefits wererescinded by the current majority ina"slim 4-3 vote. The Democraticresolution will amend full benefitsfor retirees as of Tuesday, December

Lucille Howley, who works in theDivision of Risk Management, LossPrevention and Employee Benefitswithin the Department of Adminis-trative Services, pleaded with theboard to support Freeholder Lehr'sresolution.

A 30-year employee herself, shesajd a number of employees she hasinterviewed have told her they de-

cided to retire this year because theydo not want to lose their benefits.Other workers have been put into adifficult predicament because theycannot afford to retire yet want toretain full benefits.

County Division of Motor Vehicles(also with the Department of Ad-ministrative Services) Director LouisDeVico, a county employee for thepast 37 years who will retire in 1999,asked the board to rescind the De-cember I deadline for employeeswho want to take advantage of thebenefits package.

He said workers should be allowedto continue to retire and receive fullbenefits, when they choose to leavethe county's payroll.

Freeholder Lehr noted that sevenof the current Freeholders who wereon the board last year voted in favorof giving retirees the benefits pack-age, including Freeholders Stender,•Carol I. Cohen and Daniel P. Sullivan.

He said the Democrats' basis forrescinding the benefits, which wasbecause of less than projected sav-ings on reduced payroll costs, hasthose board members "talking out ofboth sides of their mouths."

Freeholder Lehr said he feels thebenefits for long-time employees aresomething they "certainly deserve."

Republican Freeholder Henry W.Kurz said he has heard from a num-ber of employees that have "im-plored" the board to reinstate thebenefits package.

"We've got a lot of people with alot of valuable experience that I thinkare going to be forced out by thismeasure," he stated.

He noted that the county is losinga "valuable asset" by ending thebenefits package since long-timeemployees will be forced to leave inDecember or face the loss of thesebenefits.

After hearing the Republican com-ments, Democratic FreeholderDonald Goncalves called the place-ment of the resolution on the agendaby Freeholder Lehr "shameful."

He said Mr. Lehr had been quoted

in one newspaper account as sayinghe "would pack the meeting roomwith proponents of his resolutionand that Democrats on the boardwould "squirm" and wind up sup-porting the resolution.

"I think it's sad that we are tryingto pander to individual constituentgroups, such as these three Free-holders are doing," he said, addingthat the attempt to push through theresolution was being done purely forpartisan politics.

The Republican board membersare all seeking reelection this year.

Freeholder Goncalves noted thatthe Republicans had not discussedthe basis of their resolution withCounty Manager Michael J. Lapolla"to see what the economic implica-tionsofthisparticular resolution are."

Freeholder Edwin H. Force, a Re-publican, said the benefits packageonly impacts about 10 percent of thecounty workforce. He said the countyhas found the money to add newpositions to the payroll and given outraises but, due to the end of theretiree benefits package, has nottaken care of its long-time employ-ees.

Freeholder Lehr said Union is onlyone of two of the state's 21 countieswhich does not offer a health ben-efits package to its retirees. The othercounty is Essex.

He said the Democrats made thecase a partisan issue when they votedto rescind the benefits this past Feb-ruary.

The decision to rescind the retireebenefits policy was based on a reportissued to the board's Finance Com-mittee by Director of the Depart-ment of Administrative Services Jo-seph L. Salemme.

"The net savings for 1996 and1997 combined represents only 28percent of the savings initially pro-jected," Mr. Salemme stated in hismemorandum to the board's FinanceCommittee dated May 1.

Mr. Salamme noted that the totalprojected net savings for the countyin 1996 and 1997 was $712,800,significantly lower than the$2,534,105 figure estimated whenthe program was initiated.

Only 52 of the 160 employees, orjust one-third of those workers whowere eligible, actually took advan-tage of the program.

In other business, the board ap-pointed Dr. Erica Fried of Westfield

to the post of Volunteer Coordinatorof the newly-established PatientAdvocate Project.

In this role she will "provide ameans for citizens to resolve issuesconcerning their health-care services'in a satisfactory manner."

Dr. Fried, a recently retired radi-ologist, was appointed for a one-year term.

Freeholder Cohen, also of West-field, said that the idea for the pro-gram came from Dr. Fried herself.

The county has provided some ofthe seed money to get the programstarted. Catholic Community Ser-vices, which has sponsored the pro-gram along with the Retired SeniorVolunteer Program, has offered theirfacility for the Patient Advocate toconduct interviews with clients.

"This is a wonderful program forthe citizens of Union County andI'm so glad Dr. Fried came forward,"said Freeholder Cohen.

Dr. Fried said the program willassist county residents who are hav-ing trouble getting appropriate medi-cal care or getting their insurancecompany to pay for medical treat-ment.

She said a group of volunteers willwork with her "to make life for thepeople of Union County a little biteasier."

The board re-appointed AndrewBaron to the post of part-timeCountyCounsel at a salary of $32,387. Mr.Baron, a Scotch Plains resident, isrunning for the state Assembly as aDemocrat in the 22nd LegislativeDistrict which includes Westfield,Scotch Plains, Fanwood andMountainside. The term will expireOctober 13,2000.

Sheriff Ralph Froehlich has an-nounced that the Union CountySheriff's Labor Assistance Program"S.L.A.P."has provided 102,252 manhours of community related servicesto the citizens of Union County sinceits inception in November of 1993.

"S.L.A.P." is a joint venture of theSheriff's Office and the MunicipalCourts. This court-sponsored pro-gram provides an alternative to in-carceration for qualified individualswho would have received custodialsentences from the Municipal andSuperior Courts.

The "S.L.A.P." Program is open toviolators who have been convictedof non-violent offenses that includedriving on the revoked or suspendedlist, driving without insurance, shop-lifting, or other disorderly personsoffenses.

Participants are carefully screenedand given the opportunity to workunder the Sheriff's supervision oneday per week until they have satis-fied their legal obligation that hasbeen determined by the court.

Sheriff Froehlich stated.'"S.L.A.P,"' serves three purposes.First, it avoids expensive and unpro-ductive periods of incarceration.Second, the violator is able to main-tain his regular employment so thathe and his dependents do not be-come a financial burden to society.

"The family unit remains viablebecause the violator is not incarcer-ated and separated from other house-hold members," he continued.

"Finally, the violator pays his debtto society by working at productivejobs rather than being warehoused atthe taxpayers expense," SheriffFroehlich stated.•Trie savings generated'b'y pariici:'

pation in the S.L.A.P. program areastronomical, reported SheriffFroehlich. There have been 1,423violators who have successfully par-

ticipated in the program. Each of theviolators would have served an aver-

{age of 14 days incarceration for theiroffenses. That amounts to a total of19,922 days incarceration at a costof $70 per day. The savings to UnionCounty is almost $2 million, SheriffFroehlich concluded.

The Union County Sheriff's Of-fice held promotion ceremonies forlive officers on August 30.

Sheriff Ralph Froehlich swore inthe newly-promoted officers in frontof an audience of family, friends, co-workers and elected officials.

Among those promoted were Of-ficers John Heller of Scotch Plainsand Marianne Hopko ofMountainside who were both pro-moted to the rank of Sergeant. Theyboth began their careers with theSheriff's Office in 1990.

Sergeant Hopko will superviseofficers assigned to criminal courtsin the courthouse tower. SergeantHeller, who is married to Sheriff'sOfficer Ellen Heller, will superviseofficers assigned to courts in theAnnex Building.

Union County Freeholders DanielP. Sullivan and Donald Goncalvesattended the ceremony and presentedFreeholder resolutions honoring theofficers for their individual achieve-ments.

Union County Puts Itself in ForefrontOn Patient Advocacy in New Jersey

Last week Union County made history by ap-pointing the state's first Patient Advocate. Thispost, which is strictly volunteer, has been filled byDr. Erica Fried, a recently retired radiologist fromWestfield.

Dr. Fried retired July 1 from Rahway Hospitalwhere she was Chairwoman of the RadiologyDepartment.

Given the recent trend towards managed care tocontrol rising medical care costs, patients havebeen the ones left out in the cold as insurancecompanies and hospitals are looking to cut costswhile many physicians want payment promptly.

When a person feels they need to see an expertregarding a specific medical problem and they havean HMO (Health Maintenance Organization), thisdecision must be approved by their primary carephysician—thus taking this decision away from thepatient, in some cases, unless they choose to pay forsuch services out of their own pocket.

The Patient Advocate will work on the patient'sbehalf to help them get the treatment they need. Dr.Fried and a staff of volunteers will help patients getthrough the ever-changing and complex healthcare industry. Why should patients be held injimbo to get important tests and medical proce-dures due to failure on the part of an insurancecompany or primary care physician to approvesuch procedures? (Please see Freeholder Chair-woman Linda d. Stender's column on the PatientAdvocate's role.)^ The new service, which will be available 24hours a day, is expected to be in operation later thismonth. The program is being sponsored by Catho-

lic Community Services and the Retired SeniorVolunteer Program.

County residents 60 and older can receive freeinformation and assistance with health insuranceproblems involving Medicare, Medicare Supple-ments, HMOs and long-term insurance throughthe county's CHIME (Counseling on Health Insur-ance for Medicare Enrollees) Program. This infor-mation can be obtained by calling (908) 709-2150.

The program is administered by the New JerseyDepartment of Health and Senior Services withmajor funding from the US Health Care financeAdministration.

Dr. Fried has said that the first step in gettingassistance from the Patient Advocate will be toprovide written permission for the Advocate toinvestigate a case. Once this information is ob-tained, a volunteer (many of which will be nurses)will contact the health care provider or insurancecompany involved. The Patient Advocate will ei-ther call the patient or send them a letter summa-rizing the results of the inquiry.

In an effort to spread the word of the availabilityof the new program, the county will send letters tomunicipalities, libraries, social service agenciesand to health care providers' offices.

Dr. Fried* s initiative, with the help of FreeholderCarol I. Cohen, to carry it through the legislativeprocess, warrants gratitude for their efforts. Theentire Freeholder board deserves a pat on theshoulder, as well, for supporting this program.

Union County has truly shown itself as a fore-runner in patient advocacy with the creation of thisnew program.

Neighbors Opposed to Proposed PlanFor Mall Adjacent to Park Place DinerWe are writing this letter to convey to

you our feelings about the proposal ofGeorge Filippatos for development ofthe land adjacent to his Park Place Diner.

Mr. Filippatos is expected to petitionfor a use variance before the ScotchPlains Board of Adjustment on Thurs-day, November 6, which will allow himto construct a strip mall.

Asa neighbor of the Park Place Diner,we oppose changing our residential areato a commercial one. Strip malls in the,past have had a detrimental effect onneighborhoods. Once established as aretail area, a precedence would be set.

There would be no telling what typeof stores could come into the neighbor-hood. There would be little, if any, addedconvenience to local residents, as youwould need a car to get to these estab-lishments.

As a homeowner close to the intersec-tion of Martine Avenue and RaritanRoad, we are very well aware of the highincidence of accidents that occur on thatcomer.

The temptation to a child playing onthe south side to run across MartineAvenue to get a drink or a candy bar ata convenience store, could end in unnec-essary tragedy.

There is also the very real possibilityfor the sale of drugs in the parking lotand therefore drug use in the surround-ing wooded area.

" T h e environment is another concern.l^We have noticed an increase in the•-amount of wildlife close by and in the-amount of "road kill" in the immediate

area caused by new construction.We could be uprooting more animals

if this development was allowed to pro-ceed.

There are surely underutilized com-mercial properties in Scotch Plains,where Mr. Filippatos could better dem-

One man's greed should not outweighthe damage that would be caused to localresidents. He has already taken whatwas a quaint restaurant and turned it intoa modern day diner.

Approximately a year ago, the ScotchPlainsTownshipCouncil had determinedthat the Planning Board should not de-vote any more time considering the re-zoning of this property.

We opposed the proposed use vari-ance and urge the Board of Adjustmentnot to change their our neighborhood.

Mr. Franks Should Put ConstituentsFirst on Issue of Air Traffic Routes

On September 23, the Federal Avia-tion Administration (FAA) met withrepresentatives of statewide aircraftnoise groups. The FAA admitted havingdifficulties implementing the SolbergMitigation Proposal.

This route was supposed to providesignificant relief to our area. The FAAabandoned the effort on August 22, andreturned to the drawing board to resolveconflicts and inconsistencies in the route.

They intend to re-implement the cor-rected Solberg Mitigation Proposal onThursday January I.

Congressman Bob Franks has beenapplying pressure on the FAA to providerelief to New Jersey and Staten Island.

His efforts convinced the FAA to incor-porate a modification to the route thatprovides major relief to Staten Island.Unfortunately, this modification in-creases the volume of air traffic andnoise in Union County.

Staten Island is well represented inCongress. Congressman Franks' con-cern for all of humanity is admirable,but he should remember who he waselected to represent and put the qualityof his constituents' lives first.

Hanson's LA, Confidential:Won't Be a Secret For Long

By Michael S. Goldberger

4 popcorn"Specifically, 'film noir' was coined

to describe those Hollywood films of the40s and early SOs which portrayed thedark and gloomy underworld of crimeand corruption, films whose heroes aswell as villains are cynical, disillusioned,and often insecure loners, inextricablybound to the past and unsure or apatheticabout the future." — Ephraim Katz, TheFilm Encyclopedia

Note how our finer films seem tomove of their own accord. As effortlessas new love, buoyed on a cloud, they areseemingly possessed of their very ownlife force. The director needs only toprod or nudge slightly for these passion-filled movies to ignite their explosiveelements.

And we are a little bit in awe. For asoutstanding as the acting may be, nomatter how sublime the direction proves,or regardless how sage the script reads,there is an unexplained phenomenon atwork here. The sum is greater than theparts. If Hollywood could figure it out,they'd do it over and over again. Turn'em out like sausages. But they can't.And that's the magic of the silver screen.

So it is with LA. Confidential, a sen-sational film noir revival that harks backto the genre's heyday without in theleast appearing hackneyed or derived.Superbly adapted from James Ellroy'snovel and directed with peerless author-ity by Curtis Hanson, the first classmurder mystery sports ail the right stuff,placed in the appropriate order, and thenroused to life by the aforementioned jene sais quoi.

What's more, to gleefully gild thelily, the film's exciting triptych of maleleads boasts two relative not-so-knowns—Russell Crowe and Guy Pearce —who gloriously climb to the forefront oftheir relatively young careers right be-fore your very eyes. Last, but certainlynot least, as if to ensure that the steamquotient in this sizzler stays pressure-cooker tight, Kim Basinger achieves thenear-impossible by putting a refreshingnew spin on, of all things, the hookerwith a heart. She looks like VeronicaLake, but the style is all her own.

A horrible mass murder at the NightOwl Cafe, seemingly unconnected toany other evildoing, sets in motion thedramatic unraveling of misdeeds. Ev-eryone in L.A. harbors a dirty littlesecret, you know. Well, at least every-one in LA. Confidential. And per writerEllroy, cynically updating P.T. Barnum,for every poor sucker with a confidentialvulnerability or passion, there are twoopportunistic rats ready to blackmailhim. And so it goes in a vicious circle.

The range of desires that propels thisplot outnumbers the flavors at Baskin-Robins. Thus matters tend to get a littleconvoluted as main suspense plot andintriguing sub-plots interweave. But fearnot. Director Hanson is on a roll, andhe's throwing all sevens. His splendidpace and sense of exposition feed the

viewer no more and no less than theyneed to know at any given point. Theresult is absorbing, scintillating, andseat-edged entertainment.

Figure Russell Crowe for an Acad-emy Award nomination as Bud White,anti-hero cop supreme. Outwardly meanbut maybe a good soul at heart, thevigilante strong-arm uses the bureau togrind his ax. Happily, said blade is usu-ally aimed at the bad guys. Sharingoffice space with him at LAPD is hisarrogant antithesis. A smug, by-the-bookpedant, Guy Pearce as Ed Exley is amaster of disdain. Disdain for crookedcops, disdain for criminals, and, most ofall, disdain for the inequities that causedhis decorated cop dad to die in the line ofduty. They call him college boy.

Rounding out the troika most unlikelyto bond with a common goal (hint, hint)is Kevin Spacey as Detective JackVincennes, a fancy Dan who trades onhis savvy and luxuriates in his sidelineposition as technical advisor to the TVcop melodrama, "Badge of Honor" (read"Dragnet"). The only thing more suavethan dapper Jack Vincennes is the waySpacey portrays him. Symbiotically at-taching himself to Jack in one of thepicture's many fine supporting perfor-mances is Danny DeVito as Sid Hudgens,tabloid scuzzbag extraordinaire. Sid, thepublisher of gossip rag "Hush, Hush,"digs up the dirt and does the paparazzithing while Jack makes the collar, Hol-lywood style. Vain Vincennes knowsthe sordid routine stinks, but he loves theglitter.

To their supreme credit, Messrs.Crowe, Pearce and Spacey manage notonly to depict how these three divergentcharacters evolve to form an excitingentente cordiale, but each of the trio alsoindulges the picture with the sort ofcharacter study that makes audiencesreally care. It's just the kind of three-dimensional lift necessary to distinguishthe splashing tale from any run-of-the-mill flatfoot opera.

Others lending their thespic panacheare David Straithairn in a nice turn aspower player Pierce Patchett, a blue-blood pimp specializing in prostitutes"cut to look like movie stars"; staunchlysculptured James Cromwell as DudleySmith, the no holds-barred police big-wig who instructively calls his charges"boyo"; and Ron Rifkin as the powerfulD.A., who just may be keeping a seamysecret of his own.

A major morality tale told with whirl-wind fervor, fraught with artistic graceand exquisitely topped with a twist end-ing, LA. Confidential holds nothingback.

Rated R, L.A. Confidential is a WarnerBrothers release directed by CurtisHanson and stars Russell Crowe, KevinSpacey, Guy Pearce and Kim Basinger.Running time: 136 minutes.

Patient Advocate IntendedTo Clear Up Confusion

Regarding Managed CareBy LINDA d.STENDER

Cktinnmu - Unit* C«uU> iMnf JFntMim

There is a revolution in health caretaking place in America. And virtuallyevery one of us, like it or not, is seeinghis or her relationship with doctors andhospitals being affected.

The name generally used to describethis new approach to our healthcare sys-tem is "managed care." And it is moving,very rapidly to include most people inUnion County and in New Jersey.

Vast changes are taking place, whichhave impacted on patients and their fami-lies; on employers who pay a large shareof the bill; on insurance companies andother organizations that manager theprocess, and on doctors and hospitalsthat provide health care to us.

First, the good news.Managed care is bringing costs under

control. For years, healthcare costs an-nual percentage increases were in thedouble digits; today, cost increases aremore like the general levels of inflationfor the entire economy.

Now, the bad news.This moderation in costs has hap-

pened because managed care organiza-tions (like Health Maintenance Organi-zations (HMOs) are restricting and dis-couraging access to medical servicewhich they consider unnecessary or onlymarginally effective.

Your primary care physicians havebeen set up as gatekeepers, who restrictaccess to specialists only to those peoplethey believe really need them. Indeed,the primary care physician's income isincreased if he or she holds down utili-zation of specialists, hospitals and othercostly procedures.

Whatever view one has of the plusesand minuses of managed care, one thingis clear: the system has created a lot ofconfusion, disappointment, contradic-tion and, in some cases, outright abuse.

This is true particularly for those with-out the experience, the time or the lan-guage skills required to successfullynavigate the systems and resolve prob-lems.

It was for these reasons that UnionCounty became the first county in NewJersey to set up an Office of PatientAdvocate.

On September 25, the Union CountyBoard of Chosen Freeholders establishedthe office officially and named the state'sfirst Patient Advocate. The program is

. expected to be available to the public bymid-October.

The leader in advocating this positionhas been Freeholder Carol I. Cohen,who encouraged the board to set up theposition after being presented with theconcept by Dr. Erica Fried, a Westfieldphysician.

Dr. Fried observed that some patientswere experiencing considerable diffi-'culty with accessing the health care sys-tem or getting health care that was ap-

propriate to their condition.The Freeholder board named Dr. Fried

as the county's Patient Advocate lastweek. She will serve in this capacity asa volunteer.

Just how will the Patient Advocatefunction to assist patients?

The Patient Advocate believes thatpatients are best served when they com-municate directly with their providersand payers.

However, there are instances of mis-communication or poor communication.That is when the Patient Advocate canplay a significant role. Following aresituations which could necessitate theinvolvement of the Patient Advocate onyour behalf:

• Physician recommends tests requir-ing pre-certification, but after severalcalls to the insurance company, you stilldon't have approval.

• Despite following the instructionson your insurance card, some bills fortreatment have not been paid and you arebeing threatened by a collection agency.

• Your physician recommends testsand possible surgery, but you have noinsurance and cannot afford the cost.

• You had surgery several monthsago, but still have pain. Was the surgeryunnecessary; was something donewrong?

• Your doctor recommended tests,but you aren't confident you need them.

What the Patient Advocate will not beauthorized to do is provide medical care,recommend a specific physician or spe-cific insurance company or plan.

The Patient Advocate is available toall residents of Union County at no costat any time. The Patient Advocate Pro-gram should not be confused with theCHIME (Counseling on Health Insur-ance for Medicare Enrollees) program.

CHIME is a statewide program spon-sored by the New Jersey Department ofHealth and Senior Services in coopera-tion with the Department of Insuranceand with major funding from the UnitedStates Department of Health and HumanServices' Health Care Financing Ad-ministration.

CHIME counsels older adults aged 60and over and Medicare enrollees in theareas of health insurance coverage andbenefits, provides information and as-sistance for dealing with claims andevaluates health insurance needs.

In Union County, CHIME is spon-sored by Catholic Community Services.The Patient Advocate will not be deal-ing with Medicare enrollees, but if peoplecall with questions. The Patient Advo-cate will be able to refer them to thecorrect program.

To contact the Patient Advocate,pleasecall (908)654-6623 afterWednes-day, October 15. All information will bekept completely confidential.

CASH OR CHARGE?Part II

In the realm of important events,getting one's first credit card ap-proval ranks right up there with afirst kiss, declaration of betrothalplans, or the announcementofaforth-coming blessed event. That is theimpression you get when one of yourchildren announces theirplastification, i.e., the receipt of theirfirst credit card.

Why the euphoria? It is probablybecause some invisible authority hassignified that they are worthy oftrust. It is also a symbol of theirpassage into adulthood and says tothe world and their parents, "I havefinally reached maturity and achievedfinancial independence."

Etymological ly, this new statusestablishes that this same invisiblepresence verified (from the Latinversus, meaning true, and fy, signi-fying to make) that their credit (fromthe Latin credo, I believe) worthi-ness has been accepted.

It was a New York City bank thatfirst conceived the concept of creditcards in 1939. However, the creditfor their development goes to theFranklin National Bank, which firstintroduced them in 1951. All "thirdparty" credit cards, according to "TheCredit Jungle" by Al Griffin, owetheir existence to the Diners Club,the brainchild of New Yorker FrankMcNamara, who at the age of 35,first thought of the idea in 1950.

f( Benefits of Shark Oil\May Just be Fish Story^ • — By Louis H.Clark = ^

Now, I like sharks as much as anyoneelse — which is not at all. I notice thesame people who tell me sharks arereally lovely creatures and afraid ofhumans run out of the water when some-one yells, "Sharks!" at the beach. I havehad shark steak, but frankly, I think itwas a big slab of tuna.

So I was surprised when driving homeI hit the scan button and came upon a giiyextolling the therapeutic joys of sharkoil. According to the woman interview-ing him, he was an eminent doctor on thestaff of the United Nations and addictedto shark oil, which he said kept hisimmune system in the best possible ofall shape. It seems that sharks have nobones, so their livers carry a lot of oil,which keeps them happy unless they getwounded — when other sharks Willgather round them and eat them to bits.

Now, I believe or don't believe theeminent physician, but how do they makeall those shark capsules that he says aresold all over the world?

After all, I was brought up on codliver oil, which my mother was broughtup on, and I can still remember the awfultaste as my mother said, "This will makeyou big and strong." There were a mil-lion cod around in those days or so mymother told me, so the supply never ranout.

But sharks? Sometimes they followships for the garbage, and I wonderwhether their insides aren't scarred fromall those tin cans that enter their mouths.

Sharks are about the only animals orfish that Disney hasn't made into a cud-dly toy to play with so that childrenwon't be afraid of the beast. Having kidslove all animals may sound okay, whichis why that little girl got killed by a tigerin Florida and in Florida pets disappearwhen they're out for a walk because kidsdon't know that nature is not a kindly oldlady. •'.•

Perhaps, shark's oil is good for your Ithink I'll stay away until someone e4$etries it. ' . ;

^-HUNQ UPII—sLife's Positives Help

Us to Weather StormsBy Milt Faith, Executive Director'. *

^Youth and Family Counseling Service/

A reflective reader writes:A competitor of yours. Ann Landers,*

recently wrote her "Gem of the Day",saying: "Life is a lot like twirling abaton, turning a handspring and eatingwith chopsticks. It looks so easy untilyou try it." This saying touched me andI can identify with it. Growing up was.never difficult for me. I had a lovingrelationship with my parents; I went torcollege, became a teacher, married awonderful guy, have two healthy chil-dren and now suddenly, my world hascome crashing down on me.

My father had a massive heart attackand died; my mother had a stroke, but isrecovering; I have recently been diag-nosed as having breast cancer and aftersurgery, I've begun chemotherapy. I needassistance and have become more andmore dependent on my husband andmother-in-law to help with every daytasks.

Sometimes I feel like I'm being pun-,ished. Keeping everything in balance is-difficult. Consequently, Ann Landedsaying stood out when I read it, Howdoes one go on and not feel saddened andso overwhelmed?

Answer:I believe it is appropriate to feel sad-

dened and overwhelmed. You are facedwith real traumatic life situations. Youhave been very fortunate to have hadsuch positive life experiences: A lovingfamily, good marriage, gratifying careerand healthy children.

As life moves along, most of us en-counter difficult moments, some ofwhich last longer than moments. I haveno magical nor psychological pill tomake you feel better. However, I dobelieve that our faith, our family andfriends, and our conviction to try to meetthe "storms" of life are strong supports.

We also have to believe that each ofus is a special person and that there is areason for our being here and for ourcontinuing to survive. Does it hurt whenit gets rough? Yes. Should we feel all.

ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL...Patricia Plante, left, Democratic candidatefor the Fanwood Borough Council, has been busy campaigning door-to-doorthis month. She recently crossed paths with Fanwood Mayor Maryanne S.Connelly, right, while meeting voters near the Fanwood train station.

Candidates Sullivan, WeinsteinVow to Silence Train WhistlesWestfield Third Ward Councilman

Neil F. Sullivan, Jr., and formerCoun-cilwoman and Fourth Ward Councilcandidate Janis Fried Weinstein lastweek pledged to continue the fight tosilence the train whistles which dis-rupt the neighborhoods surroundingthe Rahway Avenue railroad cross-ing on the south side of town.

"As council members, both Janisand I worked to ensure that the properfunding was allocated and the townadministration take the necessaryactions to impose a whistle ban atthis crossing," Councilman Sullivansaid.

"We can restore the peace to thou-sands of residents who are joltedfrom their sleep by engineers lean-ing on a train whistle in the middle ofthe night. We are pledged to con-tinue to fight this source of noise andaggravation for residents of the Thirdand Fourth Wards," he stated.

Trains are required to sound awarning whistle while approachingan "unguarded" railroad crossing. Awhistle ban may be granted by the

' Federal Railroad Administration ifthe town constructs a barrier whichprevents vehicles from entering thecrossing when the warning lightsand bells indicated a train is ap-proaching.

In 1996, the council appropriated$ 10,000 to build the necessary barri-ers to qualify for the whistle ban, thecandidates noted. Copies of the plandetailing the proposed barriers wererecently submitted by the town to therailroad administration.

"In hopes of receiving a timelyresponse, we have written Congress-man Bob Franks, asking for what-ever assistance his office can pro-vide in receiving the federal exemp-tion," Mrs. Weinstein said.

kinds of emotions — anger, depression,confusion? Ves. And then we must at-tempt to go on.

I hope and pray that your health im-proves. You seem to have loving sup-port from your children, husband andmother-in-law, and others. Yourmother's health is improving. Continueto have hope that someday you will haveg$od control of the baton twirling, thehandsprings and the eating with chop-sticks.• \ A troubled reader writes:; . I need your help on how to tell one ofoiy best friends that I am uncomfortablewjien she visits me with her S-year-old$on.•' "June" is a sweet person who neverasserted herself with anyone. She isotarried now, has a 5-year-old, "Brett,"who wreaks havoc when visiting myhome. He looks in desk drawers, teasesthe cat, refuses to stay in one place andwatch television or read or play children'sgames. When having lunch, he spills hisrrtilk and drops food everywhere.

• We have been friends since high schooland I am afraid if I say something, Junewill become angry and have no contactwith me. Last week, Brett opened up anentire box of Oreos, licked the vanillacream and threw the chocolate crackersinto the garbage. June, who always de-fends Brett, apologized and said shewould buy another box of Oreos. Ilaughed it off, but I'm hurting on theinside.

Answer:- You cannot afford to overlook thisaggravating situation. Since you valueyour relationship with June, I recom-mend that you both have lunch out with-

' out Brett, or anyone else, and addressthe issues you mentioned., - Start by telling her how much youvalue your friendship, and that is thereason you want to talk to her. Tell herhow uncomfortable you've been feelingby keeping your feelings in. Explain thatyou are uncomfortable and tense whenBrett opens drawers, annoys the cat (whomight scratch Brett), etc. The Oreo issue

COHVHVEDFROUPAOE4

is significant because it is symbolic ofBrett's lack of control and June's ten-dency to overlook his intrusiveness andunpleasant manners.

Children of all ages need control andlimits. This enables them to accept re-sponsibilities and develop sensitivitiesto others. Parents need to be in controland set the rules. I am hopeful that Junewill appreciate your concern and beginto examine her role with her son. Youhave much to gain by addressing theissue; if you don't, you will feel in-creased pain and anger whenever Juneand Brett visit. Also, suggest that thetwo of you socialize together periodi-cally without anyone else.

(But whatever you do, please do notgive Brett my home address!) Now wheredid I put the Oreos?

An anxious reader writes:Often I have wanted to call Dr. Laura

Schlessinger, the radio talk show host-ess (who is second in popularity to RushLimbaugh). She is direct and doesn'tbeat around the bush. However, I alwaysstop myself because of my discomfort inher quick response. Would you call herto seek help?

Answer:No. I admire Dr. Schlessinger for her

intelligence, articulation and ability tosize up (evaluate) a situation quickly.However, presentingaprofessionalopin-ion must be related to the way in whichit is stated.

Dr. Schlessinger, like so many televi-sion talk hosts, is judgmental, conde-scending, talking down to the caller. Shedoesn't want to hear the entire story andthe caller's feelings behind it. She pre-sents her viewpoint and don't you daredisagree with her. Rather than deal withfeelings, she focuses on morality, onwhat is right and wrong — as far as she'sconcerned. I would never be masochis-tic enough to call for advice. I assumethese anticipations of criticisms are thereasons you hesitate to call. I feel youare very wise to hesitate. P.S. In anycase, you can always write to me.

Enrichment Foundation SeeksNominees for Education Award

The Education Enrichment Foun-dation of Scotch Plains and Fanwoodis seeking nominations for its firstannual Service to Education award

"It is the purpose of this award torecognize an individual or individu-als who have made outstanding con-tributions to the development ofyouth, fostered educational excel-lence and have supported educationalopportunities for students in ScotchPlains and Fanwood," according toFoundation spokesman Al De Sousa.

Nominations will be accepted forcurrent or former residents of ScotchPlains and Fanwood or for personswho work or were previously em-

ployed in the two communities.In addition to the resident and local

employment criteria, active involve-ment as a professional educator or asa volunteer in a variety of areas andthe degree of contribution they havemade to the community will be con-sidered in the selection process.

The nomination may be from anindividual, a group, or the personthemselves.

The Foundation is asking membersof the community to assist in the pro-cess by nominating persons who meetthe criteria of the award.

seats on the Trinidad-bound flight for lastSaturday.

Fortunately for them, the provision (setto expire at midnigbton September 30) wasextended by three weeks to Thursday,October 23, following a House vote of357-57 in favorof extending the provisionon September 29.

"Now we wait,*' said Mrs. Aberdeen,wbo,on Monday morning, re-registered herson, Darien, and daughter, Marisa, at ScotchPlains-Fanwood High School and TerrillNfiddle School respectively, having with-drawn them from the schools the previousFriday.

"That was the hardest thing," she said,"to pull the children out of school. It washeartbreaking."

It would be particularly hard on Darien,presently ahigh school freshman. Darien is"severely learning disabled," according tohis father, a diagnosis made only when theAberdeens' sponsor recommended that theboy be tested in grammar school.

At the time, Darien was attending theTimothy Christian School. Following thediscovery of his learning disability, Mr.Aberdeen said, "We got him into Coles(Ekmentary)Schoolandstarted him in theresource room and special classes.

"My son in high school is doing a lotbetter than he would in Trinidad," Mr.Aberdeen explained. 'There, Darien wouldjust be considered slow. They know noth-ing of learning disabilities in Trinidad."

When the family first came to ScotchPlains, Mrs. Aberdeen was sponsored forlegal status as a nanny and housekeeper.Her husband is employed asacustodian atUnion Catholic High School in the town-ship. Healso plays the guitar at his church.

The Aberdeens presently live with theirsponsor family. In January 1992, Mrs. Ab-erdeen filed herown visaapplication, which,she explained, has been approved by INS.

"But," she added, "nannies and house-keepers are at the bottom of the list, and Imust wait for the quota to come up for myyear."

Not content to wait for his wife'spapers to arrive, Mr. Aberdeen tried twiceto obtain a religious petition from hischurch.

Hemust show sufficientevidenceof hisinvolvement with the church to be consid-ered by INS under this category. Twiceturned down, he filed a third application,for which the INS requested additionalinformation.

He sent the necessary information tothegovemmentagency viaovemightmailon September 4.

With the help of Congressman Franks'office, which represents theSeventhCon-gressional District including ScotchPlains, the Aberdeens have learned thatthen- papers could come any day.

"We live one day at a time," said Mrs.Aberdeen.

Inaletterto The Times, John Loughrey,afamuyfriend,said,'TneAberdeensareanexemplary family.acu'veintbeirchurchandcommunity, who have done their best tocomply with all the rules and regulations.

He blames the "slow moving process ofour federal bureaucracy" for the family'stroubles.

Mr. Loughrey's daughter, Maura, alsotried to help by forwarding dozens of sig-natures from Terrill Middle School stu-dents toCongressman Franks' office. Theirpentionasked me legislator to work towardthe extension of the immigration law.

Before the October 23 extension isofficially enacted, theSenatemustpass itsown legislation and President Clintonmust sign it into law. hi the mean time, Mr.and Mrs. Aberdeen and their children goto work, school and to church and, asMrs. Aberdeen put it, "We wait."

"Reverse mortgages can be a solu-tion for seniors who might have toface selling their homes to make upfor income shortfalls," said Free-holder Edwin H. Force, Liaison tothe county's Advisory Council onAging.

"Weatherizing the home can be away to cut costs by ensuring heatingefficiency, thereby saving on fuelexpenses," he stated.

Under a reverse mortgage, a lenderadvances an amount of money basedon the value of the home to thecurrent owner, either by regularmonthly payments or a lump sum.The lender is paid back the fullamount of the loan plus interest whenthe owner permanently moves ordies, a county spokesman explained.

In weatherization, cold air is pre-vented from entering and leaving ahome, ensuring heating efficiency,fuel savings and increased comfort.

"It's wonderful that our young-sters can participate in this 'Writerin Residence Program' that has themworking with actual poets to createand experience poetry," said Free-holder Stender.

"Finally town government mustdo a better job of encouraging volun-teer clean-up efforts, especially inthe central business district," Mr.McCabe explained.

"Westfield is a town that has awell-deserved reputation forvolunteerism, such as, the TigerScouts and their fathers who haveepitomized my vision through theirclean-up efforts along the railroadtracks, and Central and South Av-enues. Our town government mustwork harder to tap that potential withother local organizations," the can-

know that the town currently has anAdopt-A-Road program. A greaterutilization of this program couldtranslate into real results in terms ofcleaner streets, Mr. McCabe said.

The candidate, who is seeking theseat currently occupied by Republi-can Norman N. Greco, is running ona platform of "a Westfield TownGovernment that works harder andthinks smarter for a better West-field."

Podiatrist Is RecognizedFor Triple Acts of Heroism

Dr. Eric M. Deutchman of West-field became a hero this past Augustfor saving the life of a 15-year-oldyouth and for rescuing five others inthree separate incidents.

While on vacation at Marine Vil-lage Resort on Lake George, NewYork, Dr. Deutchman, 46, a licensedpodiatrist and a registered pharma-cist, hoped to spend some of hisleisure time quietly boating and fish-ing. Instead, fate called on him threetimes to avert what might have beenthree tragedies.

Brian McCaughlin, 15, from NewBritain, Connecticut, had gonekayaking without wearing his lifejacket and overturned about midwayacross the lake while his father, Den-nis, watched from the shore in horrorwhen he did not see his son resur-face.

Dr. Deutchman had just beachedhis 12-foot dingy because the fueltank was almost empty when he heardthe boy's father yelling for help. Hepushed the craft back into the waterwhile starting the already hot motorand sped off to the overturned kayak.

Upon reaching the youth, Dr.Deutchman managed to turn thekayak on its side and bring the boy'shead up to revive him with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Later that afternoon Dr.Deutchman rescued a young Brook-lyn couple and their infant daughter,none of whom were wearing lifejackets and with the infant beingstrapped into a wheeled stroller, fromtheir sinking rental motorboat afterhe heard a faint signal from a whistle.

The third incident involved rescu-ing two 10-year-old boys, also notwearing life jackets, in a plastic in-flatable boat that got caught by thewind and waves and overturned.

Dr. Deutchman is the Scoutmasterof Westfield's 70-year-old Boy ScoutTroop No. 273, sponsored by theParent Teacher Organization ofJefferson Elementary School, wherehe was a Cub and Boy Scout himselffrom 1959 through 1969 while grow-ing up in town.

He has been an Assistant Scout-master for the past five years and amerit badge counselor in the

. Watchung Area Council for manyyears.

The earliest known wristwatches were those of Jacquet-Droz and Leschot of Switzerland,dating from 1790.

Although he said he does not feellike a hero. Dr. Deutchman has beennominated for an honor medal ofvalor from the Boy Scouts of Americafor his emergency actions.

Blue Devils Football Startsear M)l With 12-6 Win

By DA*Socially Writun for Thil

B,CORBIN

One hundred year* ofW'estfielSchralfootballisinthepi&glleincollected in a book calted^fi&ffirs ofBlue Devil Football written by BruceJohnson, and the 1997 Blue Devils startedthe second hundred years in the samefashion as the first game of the firsthundred years — with a win.

On November 6.1897, although foot-ball was played somewhat differentlythen, Westfield High School defeated St.Francis Xavier of New York by a score of4-0. On September 27, 1997 at GaryKehler Stadium in Westfield, WestfieldHigh School defeated Dickinson HighSchool by a score of 12-6 in front of anearly packed house on the Westfieldside of the stadium. In that crowd were 23exuberantmembersof the Westfield HighSchool Class of 1947.

The Blue Devils fielded a young andtalented, but much smaller team than theDickinson Rams; however the internalfire of the Blue Devils was blazing. TheBlue Devils kicked off and senior JasonKrieger fueled the fire by getting the firsttackle of year 101 at the Dickinson 26-yard line.

The Rams butted their way to the BlueDevils' 21 before linebacker Greg Gorskiand safety Rasheed Hawks put a stop tothe ramming on the 13th play. Immedi-ately rtae-Blue Devils knew they had tocontain the 200 pound Dickinson work-horse Charles Ranson.

On theBlue Devils firstseriesof downs,junior running back Tom Lee carried onathird-and-six from the 25 and slanted tothe 34 for a first down. Junior ToddDowling took a third-and-one and dartedfour yards to the 47.

As the second quarter began, juniorLamont Turner slanted right, got a goodblock from Dowling and made a 9-yardgain. Senior quarterback Bob Baykowskikept things alive by blasting up-the-middle for a first down.

On third-and-three, the Rams werecaught off sides and the Blue Devils gota first down at the 31. Lee cut to the leftfor a 14-yard gain, putting the ball on the17. After two running plays yielded onlyfour yards, Baykowski rolled wide to theright and found the end zone with 7:50

ing in the half. The kick was wideit and Westfield held a 6-0 lead.

son received the Blue Devil kick-off eft the 17 and returned it to the 27beforelbeing stopped by Krieger andDowlinfi|B,lue Devil juniors MarcusThornton and Lee, along with Gorski andOsborne, mafe several fine tackles eventhough Dickinibn managed to move theball to the WesdrkW 19 before a fourthdown pass play fall*).,.

With 1:49 left in the half, the BlueDevils used eight plays to move the balldeep into Ram territory before time ranout. %•.

Turner took the kickoff at the 17and glided 12 yards to the lefttpr theBlue Devils to begin the secondlialf.Osborne took advantage of a deva|rtat ing block from senior Brendan%Hickey and sped to the left for a 14-yard gain, then Dowling scrambled12 yards to the Ram 45. Momentslater, when the drive stalled at the 40,Gorski punted to the Ram 2-yard linewhere the ball was picked up, but acrushing tackle by Dowling stoppedthe Ram kick returner in his tracks.

Later, with about 8:30 left in thegame, both Hawks and Osborne pre-vented possible touchdown passes bythe Rams by performing some acro-batics to break-up the potentialcompletions.

The Blue Devils got their secondtouchdown when Hickey opened upanother hole and Osborne found theopening and blazed 49 yards into theend zone with 5:51 remaining, put-ting Westfield in front, 12-0.Baykowski's two-point pass conver-sion attempt failed.

After the kickoff, the Blue Devilshad the Rams sitting nervously on theirown 15-yard line, but the Rams caughtthe B lue Devil defense napping as quar-terback Chi Chi Nwakiki hit Ransonover the middle. Ranson shifted to hisright and ran 85 yards for the touchdown. The kick for the extra pointfailed and the score tightened to 12-6with 5:01 left.

The temporary lapse brought theBlue Devils to their senses as theyplayed a ball-control game andmarched to the Dickinson 14 as time

ran out on the clock.Blue DevU Head Football Coach Ed

Trancbina noted, "There were a couple ofthings which pleased me; the 16 playdrive we made, the fact that we had noturnovers, our ability to make first downsand keep possession of the ball and thefact that we only had three penalties for25 yards."

"We have all kinds of running backsand they each block for each other,"Coach Tranchina added.

On the 85-yard touchdown play byDickinson, Coach Tranchina explained,"They hit the play just right; we couldn'tget a good pursuit angle. Ranson hadsome good speed and broke away for thetouchdown."CoachTranchinaalso notedthat Rasheed Hawks was selected playerof the game.

Dowling and Hawks had 14 tack-i; Oiborne rushed for 93 yards

(ad seven yards receiving; Leerusnmfor63 yards and had 28 yardsreceiving; Dowling rushed for 47yards, and,Turner rushed for 30yards. Baykiwski passed for 35 yardsand hished R § y 4 .

The Blue D l lUs will play a toughLinden High Scqtal team on Octo-ber 4 in Linden, w j a c h Tranchinacommented, "LindeKjJis very fastFrom here on, every * l g k will be adogfight; we can expecP|gme veryclose games."

The jubilant Westfield Hi(Band let the citizens of Westfiethat victory had been achieved byting down Rahway Avenue to theof "Louie, Louie".

By DAVID B. CORBINSptdally Wrilunfor Thi Wntfuld Under and Tht Tutus

Two 34-0 shutout victories in a row isa great way to begin a season -just ask theScotch Plains-Fanwood High SchoolRaiders.

While Scotch Plains-Fanwood tookthe trip to Emerson on September 27, itwas the Emerson High School footballteam which did the stumbling as theybecame the second consecutive victimfor the Raiders in this still young season.

Senior Delmar Patterson provided thestumbling blocks as he zigzagged hisway down the field for 176 yards on onlysix carries and left Emerson tripping overits own feet.

The Raider explosion began immedi-ately as senior Jovann Clarke relumed apunt for 64 yards in the first quarter.Senior Adam Baumwoll added the extrapoint to put the Raiders in the lead, 7-0.

The rugged Raider defense stoppedEmerson again and, this time, Pattersonflashed for 64 yards and breezed into theend zone. Baumwoll hit for the extrap i n t and the Raiders' first quarter leadincreased to 14-0, still.

Again, the stolid Raider defense al-lowed nothing and the Raiders were leftwith good field position. In another flash,

Patterson fired four yards into theEmerson end zone. Baumwoll's kickmissed and the Raiders led 20-0, still inthe first quarter.

With Emerson still reeling and offbalance, it was Patterson who scoredonce again; this time with a stunning 70-yard streak into the end zone. Baumwollnailed the extra pointas the Raidersclosedout the scoring in the first frame with aconvincing 27-0 lead.

In the second quarter, junior RaiderLamar McDaniel dashed 10 yards for thescore. Baumwoll drilled his fourth extrapoint and the game was out of reach bythe half with the Raiders firmly in front34-0.

The total defensive dominance of theRaiders continued throughout the secondhalf as Emerson could barely move thefootball.

Raider Head Football Coach SteveCiccotelli commented on his defense'sperformance by stating, "Our defenseplayed very tough. We played the firststring in the first half, then played thesecond team in the second half."

"Our defense held Emerson to 35 yardspassing and 83 yards rushing; 63 rushingyards came in the fourth quarter. Theyhad only five first downs," Ciccotelli

noted.Scotch Plains-Fanwood totaled 254

yards rushing. Patterson finished with176 yards rushing and McDaniel had 36yards rushing.

In the opening game of the season,Ciccotelli expressed his concern about theoffensive line being caught off guard onoccasions.

"Our offense was much improved sincethe first game and our execution was donewell. Williams did not have to throw the ballat all. We played well from the beginningand got 27 points in the first quarter whichallowed our younger kids to play the entiresecond half," the Coach explained.

The Raiders are off this week and willhave their home opener against Linden HighSchool next Friday, October lO.at 1:30p.m.

Raiders PAL Squad PoundsUnion, 27-8; Cranford, 30-19

This past week, the Scotch Plains-Fanwood Police Athletic League "A"team picked up two more wins on Sep-tember 25, against Union (a non-leagueeighth grade team) and Cranford.

Against Union, the Raiders were fac-ing a much bigger team, but size didn'tstop Scotch Plaint-Fanwood as theydominated both sides of the ball. As thegame started, Union mounted a long driveand it looked as if they would be able topush the Raiders around.

That was until defensive tackle Chris

the game for the Raiders as he registered aquarterback sack. The lint quarter endedwith the two teams locked in a 0-0 tie.

The Raiders turned the ball over toUnion on a fumble in the second quarterbut Feighner got the ball right back witha fumble recovery of his own. On firstdown, the Raiders executed a perfect"book-and-ladder"playasConnorCrebanhit Rory Verducci who lateraled to RyanCrawford for a 23-yard gain.

On the next play, halfback MikeBuffardi refused to go down as hesteamrolled 35 yards for the touchdown.The half ended just as Brad Belford re-covered a Union fumble and the Raidersclung to a 7-0 lead.

The Raiders put together a sustaineddrive at the start of the third quarter whichended with Ian Bundy taking the ball infrom the five-yard line for a 14-0 Raiderlead. On Union's next possession, MattLoomis stormed in untouched andblocked a punt.

On their first play, Cretan bit Crawfordwitha26-yardscoring8trikeanda20-0kad,

With the Raiders leading 20-8 in thefourth quarter, Buffardi hit verducci witha 41-yard halfback option. Four playslater, the Raiders closed out the scoringwith Crehan hitting Brian Schiller with asix-yard scoring strike. Josh Finkelsteinput the finishing touches on Union as healso blocked a punt.

With all the scoring the Raiders did, thetme heroes of the game were the offensivelinemen. Robbie Matter, Andrew Pavoni,Belford, Feighner and Finkelstein did anoutstanding job of opening holes and pro-tecting the quarterback.

This was evident in the fact that theRaiders only lost yardageonone play andwere able to rack up 236 yards of totaloffense. Defensively, middle linebackerKyle Adams had an outstanding game asbe lead the team with eight tackles andwas all over the field.

Against Cranford, the Raiders werereally put to the test but managed to come

out on top 30-19. The fust half saw a lotof scoring and lead changes as momen-tum seemed to switch on every series. Onthe second play of the game Raider de-fensive tackle, Pavoni, scooped up aCranford fumble and raced 59 yards forthe touchdown.

On their very next possession,Cranford broke off a 63-yard touch-down to knot the score at 6-6. TheRaiders then scored on their next seriesas Ian Bundy found daylight and raced53 yards for a score putting the Raiderson top, for the moment, 12-6. OnCranford's next possession, theymounted a sustained drive which theycapped off with a 31-yard touchdownreception to again knot the score at 12-12, in the fust quarter.

On Cranford's first possession of thesecond quarter, they look the lead for thefirst time as they scored on a 46-yard touch-down run and converted the extra point fora 19-12 lead. With time running out in thequarter and Cranford driving, Pavoni cameup with bis second fumble recovery.

The Raiders drove towards the goalbut the clock was working against them.With only four seconds left, Buffardi hitVerducci with a perfect halfback optionpass for a touchdown and the Raiderswent into halftone bailing 19-18.

The Raiders came out in the secondhalf determined to keep their perfect sea-son in tact. The defense flexed it's muscleand became impenetrable. Meanwhile,the offense was not done putting pointson the board. Buffardi swept around theright end and refused to be brought downas he raced 25 yards for the touchdown.

Scotch Plains-Fanwood had the leadfor good at 24-19. On Cranford's nextpossession, cornerback Steve Lowentimed thequarterback'sdelivery perfectlyas he stepped in front of the receiver andpicked off the pass. The Raiders wentinto the final quarter knowing they neededmore points.

The offense took over and chewed upvaluable time off the clock as they droveinto Cranford territory. The drive was'capped off with a four-yard scoring runby BJ McGuire. Josh Finkelstein dashedany hopes Cranford had of mounting acomeback as he sacked the quarterback,late in the quarter. When the final'gunsounded, the Raiders record was 3-0.

Bundy was the leading rusher for theRaiders with 99 yards on seven carries.The Raiders threw the ball 18 times on theday. Crehan was 11 for 16 for 123 yards.McGuire, Adams and Loomis all hadstandout games for the Raider defense.

Argyles In Tie GameWith East BrunswickThe Scotch Plains-Fanwood Argyles

faced a tough East Brunswick team intheir first home match of the season lastSunday. The rivalry between these twoclubs is very strong. After the contest,these under-9 girls can say they know thisfirsthand.

The East Brunswick team struckquickly with the first goal after a fewminutes passed. The Argyle defenders,Melissa Kleisch and Carol Monteiro,fought to keep East Brunswick awayfrom the net, but the opposition cameon strong, scoring for a second time.The Argyles got their first goal on aneat play which saw Liz Halpin crossthe ball to Maggie Me Laughlin, whosailed it into the corner of the net. LindaMissal and Tiffany Smith kept up thepressure at midfield. Halpin tied thescore at 2-2 with a fine run that resultedin a goal. East Brunswick came rightback with a shot from outside thatsquibbled into the goal.

The second half saw both teams playexcellent soccer. East Brunswick keptpenetrating the Argyle defense, despitethe fine play of Jessica Reddington andKimberlee Appezzato. They could notcapitalize however, because Argyle goalieAshley Jacobi smothered every attemptthey made at the goal.
