SPEECH & HEARING SCREENING AT JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER Twenty million Americans suffer from com- munication (speech, language or hearing) disorders. Early identification of possible speech or hearing disorders is critical in children who are developing speech/language skids. Adults, especially the elderly can also benefit by Identification of hearing disorders. Area residents can benefit by a free speech and hearing screening sponsored by the Greater Westfleld Section of the National Council of Jewish Women. The free screening will be held on May 21, at the Jewish Community Center, of Scotch Plains, 1391 Martine Avenue, Scotch Plains, from 9 a.m. -1 p.m. Any person above 3 years of age is welcome. The screening will be performed by certified speech/language pathologists and audiologists under the supervision of John Buckley, private practitioner in Scotch Plains. by Sharon Pachlar The name 'Mt, Laurel' will be heard frequently -. by: Scotch Plains residents In the months to come. What does this small Burl- ington County Township have to do with Scotch - Plains? Simply, that a judicial decision made eohoerr ning Mt, Laurel's zon- ing regulations may soon significantly ef- fect land use, taxes, and the authority of local government in this municipality. In the 1880's, Mt, Laurel Township was a stop on the "underground railroad" that assisted blacks in escaping the south; many chose to remain in Mt. Laurel and farm. Years later, because of its Ideal -commuter lacat|6,ri" : between•'- Philadelphia " a n d Camden,«-Mt. Laurel became part of the post-WWII housing boom. Developers bought up farmland and erected homes for middle-class profes- sionals leaving the cities. During this period there were ap- proximately 300 run- down homes in the township. Town or- dinances requiring a Va acre minimum lot size prevented- the original residents from improv- ing on their small lots nor could they afford the price of new homes. The percentage of poorer families decreased as they had no choice but to move out. Ethel Lawrence, however, wanted to stay. She contacted Carl Bisgaier, a lawyer then with Camden Regional Legal Ser- vices, and they filed a class-action suit in 1971, The suit asked that all Mt, Laurel con- struction be stopped until zoning laws were changed to allow hous- ing within the means of low land moderate in- come families. The result? Mt, Laurel was found guilty- of fiscal zoning; en- couraging good ratables at the expense of'the poor,-who'might deplete municipal ser- vices. Although* Mt. Laurel gave ecological, ahd:, envi roh menta! reasons for its Vz acre minimum lot size (it ac- commodated on-site water supply and sewage systems), the Court's ruling was upheld after an appeal and economic discrimination in the township was found to be unconstitutional. The State Supreme Court ruled restrictive zoning illegal - develop- ing communities could not keep out the poor by refusing to allow construction of multi- family dwellings and houses on smaller lots •and the suburb's tradi- tion of home-rule over land use matters became a major Issue, When . this,, ruling came down . In 1975, Scotch Plains was in the process of up- dating its master plan, In keeping with the Mt. Laurel decision, several tracts of land were re- zoned for , multiple- family units (higher density housing) and Scotch Plains was never hit with a Mt. Laurel I lawsuit. Moonglowers capture 2nd in competition The Scotch Plains- Fanwood High School's Jazz Band, known for over 40 years as the "Moonglowers", earned a 2nd place trophy In the state finals for competition when they traveled to Nottingham High School, in the Trenton area on Saturday, April 27th, Under the direc- tion of Mr. Vincent Tur- turlello, known as "Mr. T." to the students, they earned sufficient points to take a first place position after their stage presenta- tion. When the scores were tallied following a sightreading session, the band and sup- porters gathered for the awards presentation. The "Moonglowers" have completed a suc- cessful local competi- tion schedule which earned them a 2nd place at a Verona Jazz Band Festival and.a 1st place at a Carteret Festival, They now look forward to their final competition which will take place In Toronto on Thursday evening, May 9, at 10:30 P.M. following a 10-hour ride to Canada. They will depart from the high school at 7 a.m. along with over 300 members of the Scotch Plains- Fanwood High School Music Department and 32 chaperones. The decision to re- quired Mt. Laurel to change Its- exclu- sionary zoning prac- tices brought about an epidemic of similar cases. Between 1975 and 1979 ? the zoning laws of 23 Middlesex County communities were challenged by the ACLU, the National Committee Against Discrimination in Hous- ing and the Urban Please turn to page 13 S.P. & Fan. celebrate NatU, Public Works Week The Township of Scotch Plains and the Borough of Fanwood will,celebrate National Public Works Week on May 19th to the 25th, Residents are cordially invited to visit Equip- ment Demonstrations and Safetv Programs that can save a child's. life.

A FORUM FOR PARENTSOF SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN

Question: My son is an 11th grader whoplays varsity football,,and we're hoping for ascholarship" to offset college costs. Thoughwe're proud of his ability, we worry about hisstudies. He gets passing grades, but spends lit-tle time on schoolwork. We want him to beprepared for a career outside of sports, but hedoesn't seem interested. He has no idea whathe's like to major in and no thoughts about acareer other than football. How can we helphim?

Answer: During the junior and senior years,high school students need a good deal ofguidance. Decisions made at this time can af-fect them for a lifetime, so it's Important theyget good, sound advice.

Call the school and make an appomtmentwith your son's guidance counselor. Discusstest scores and his overall performance. If ap-titude tests haven't been taken, the counselorcan tell you where and when your son can takethem and what type of data they yield.

Additionally, speak more with your son abouthis schoolwork, ask about projects he's work-ing on, about what classmates are doing andask to see tests, reports and papers he mayhave.

Don't make It sound like your prying -• you'reinterested! Ask about his daily schedule ofclasses and get him talking about what goes onall day in school.

Also spend some more time exploring themany different career opportunities availablethese days. Bookstores are loaded with such in-formation. Select one or two books, highlightsome pertinent information and leave the bookopen on his desk or somewhere he'll be sure tosee it. Perhaps it will open the door to more ex-tensive discussion.

Report fromWashington

ByCongressman

Matt Rirtdldo7th District, New Jersey

The Senate's proposal to impose a financialmeans test for admittance to Veterans Ad-ministration hospitals Is a phony budget cutthat would unfairly penalize veterans while pro-ducing little or no savings for the Treasury.

With a growing number of elderly veterans inneed of health care services, this is the wrongtime to be talking about tightening the criteriafor essential services provided by the VeteransAdministration. This is especially true when itis debatable whether some of the proposedchanges, such as the means test, would resultin any real savings.

It is estimated that the number of veteransover the age of 65 will triple from the current 3million to 9 million by 2000, greatly increasingthe demand for care at VA facilities. The VA,which estimates that it turns away 20,000veterans from health care facilities each monthfor lack of space, expects that by the turn of thecentury two-thirds of the male senior citizenswill be veterans and will be eligible for healthcare from the VA. This tremendous growthshould not be viewed as a problem, but ratheras a challenge and obligation that we will not •let go-unfulfilled.

The proposed means test is unfair, and itsanticipated cost-savings have not been un-proven. In fact, Office of Management andBudget officials have not been able to come upwith acceptable estimates, and the VA has notbeen able to document the number of veteranswho could be affected by such a change.

Without this essential Information, it would beirresponsible for Congress to approve the pro-posal at the risk of penalizing thousands ofdeserving veterans^ I doubt that any savingswould be realized. Even If a means test were im-plemented, there would not be a reduction inthe number of admissions as large percentageof the 20,000 veterans being denied serviceseach month would still be eligible for medicalservices.

Another point to be considered, and one thathas been made by veterans groups, Is that thedenial of VA eligibility to older veterans wouldput pressure on other federal programs such asMedicare. We could end up pitting the veteranvs. the non-veteran, jeopardizing health care forboth groups. Additionally, others fear that pro-posed reductions in Medicare benefits coulddrive back to the VA those veterans who have

walked, . And how I miss her voWi on the phone,And could use her presence when I'm alone.Trying to communicate with fools is for the

I birdsWhen she understands me without any wordsDenying herself for the children she's bornScrimping and saving, all tired and wornAnd though I know she does good

at the hospital where she works. I'm jealous of all those spoiled little

Mt. Laurel,,.Continued from page 1League of Greater NewBrunswick; zoningregulations in Bed-minster were ruledunlawful; Berlin andVoorhees Townships,Pine Hill and StratfordBoroughs were re-quired to amend 'snobzoning1 laws and permitaffordable housing; by1979, the N.J, PublicAdvocate Department,Morris County FairHousing Council, andMorris County's branchof the NAACP lodgedsuits against 27 of Mor-ris County's 39 com-munities in an effort to jforce acceptance oflow cost housing. TheMt. Laurel I ruling hadmade no provision forenforcement and ef-forts to persuadesuburbs to voluntarilycomply had largely fail-ed. Most government-subsidized low Incomehousing continued tobe built in New Jersey'scities • not suburbs.

In 1983, the N.J,Supreme Court orderedmunicipalities to domore than just adoptlow income housing

: zoning ordinances -I this became the Mt.[ Laurel II decision.

I Mt. Laurel II ac-| cepted the 1980 State

Development GuidePlan (SDGP) whichidentified areas in NewJ©rsey-.; where,_ en-vironmental factors dic-tated limits on growthand development. Allland was categorizedas either 'growth','limited growth1, 'con-servation1 or'agriculture'. Thelegislation mandatedthat land use regula-tions must provide arealistic opportunity fordecent housing for Itsindigenous poor andthose municipalitiesspecified by the SDGPas growth areas mustalso provide for their'fair share' of theirregion's present as wellas future lower Incomehousing needs,

Scotch Plains wasdesignated a 'growth'area.

Landmark Realty,Inc. and the estate ofMaybelle Albert havefiled a Mt, Laurel IIlawsuit against thistownship, the successof which would permitthe construction of

i numerous multi-familyhousing units. ScotchPlains' estimated 'fairshare' allocation is ap-proximately 540 units •1/5 the total number ofhousing units thatcould conceivably bebuilt throughout thetownship. LandmarkRealty claims thatScotch Plains hasrefused to enact a con-stitutional zoning or-dinance and so thisdeveloper is entitled toa 'builder's remedy'(allowing the builder toerect 4 higher cost

housing units for everylow to moderate costunit he builds). It is af-forded a developer who"has acted in goodfaith and attempted toobtain relief withoutlitigation", accordingtotheMt. Laurel U deci-sion. Landmark Realtyhas not yet approachedthe Board of Adjust-ment for a usevariance.

The suit concerns 70

acres of land on thesouth side of town, butthe economic impact ofthis type of construc-tion would be feltthroughout thetownship. Legal feesand employment of aplanner will be con-siderable expenses,although short termones. The long term ex-penses would be thosethat relate to your pro-perty tax dollar. The

huge increase inpopulation and housingcould require addi-tional schools,teachers, police, fire,and road maintenancepersonnel and installa-tion of sewage lines tolist just a few of the ob-vious costs.

Writing in theFebruary 1984 issue ofN.J. Municipalities,Jerome Rose states:"There is l i t t le

likelihood of everescaping the super-zoning board role of theState Supreme Courtunless municipalitiesexercise their legalrights to the limit.,.; aslong as the municipali-ty settles, there can beno challenge to theCourt's threat ofpower...".

The township will bedefended by the lawfirm of Hooley, Butler,

DIFraneeseo and Kelly,and, after much inter-viewing, a planner willsoon be hired. Com-munity groups are for-ming, raising ques-tions. Will ScotchPlains be one of themunicipalities thateasily 'surrenders theauthority' of its electedofficials and silentlycondones the severeover-use of its land? Itseems not.

Union County Freeholders Charlotte De Filippoand Michael J. Lapolia join Scotch Plains Coun-cilwoman Pamela Boright at the recent meetingof the Scotch Plains Democratic Club.

Members and guests buildings around theof the Scotch PlainsDemocratic Club werefeted to, three discus-sions about Issues Im-pacting upon ScotchPlains,

Union CountyFreeholder CharlotteDe Filippo discussedthe successful effortput forth byFreeholders WalterBoright, Bryan Fahey,Michael Lopolla andher to beat back a re-cent plan that wasdesigned to releaseprisoners from theUnion County Jail andto house them in alter-nate locat ions intrailers, empty schoolsand vacant industrial

country.

Freeholder Lapolia,regarded by many asthe financial expert onthe Freeholder Board,d iscussed uniquebudget procedures thatwould be implementedIn this year's countybudget to better controlthe growth of countygovernment and spen-ding.

C o u n c i l wo m a nBoright discussed the1985 Scotch Plainsbudget and noted thatthere would be a taxrise of 28% formunicipal operationspurposes which wouldtotal nearly $400,000.

Republican Club supportsU,C, Solid Waste Plans

Left to right-. Freeholder Alan Augustine, MayorGabe Spera and Union County Solid WastePlanner Joe Kazar review several types ofResource Recovery Plants.

The Scotch PlainsRepublican Club metrecent ly andunanimously supporteda resolution endorsingthe Idea of resourcerecovery. The resolu-tion also supportedUnion County's plan tobui ld a resourcerecovery plant by theend of the decade,

Joe Kazar, UnionCounty Solid WastePlanner, spoke to theclub on solid waste andresource recovery.Kazar talked about thedifferent kinds of massburning plants. He saidthat Union County wasabout to put out a re-quest for proposals tosix leading firms in theindustry. The countywill then review the pro-posals from these sixfirms.

Kazar also explainedthat about 85% ofUnion County's trashpresently goes to alandf i l l in EastBrunswick. This land-fill, however, has only afew more years ofcapacity. When theEast Brunswick facility

closes. Union Countytrash may have to becarted as far as Penn-sylvania at an increas-ed cost to Union Coun-ty residents.

In order to plan forthis problem, UnionCounty is looking intobui ld ing Its ownresource recoveryplant. This plant would'be able to handle ail ofUnion County's solidwaste. The probablelocation for this plantwould be Rahway, Thepublic of f ic ia ls inRahway have embracedthis idea, hoping that itwill bring employmentand tax revenues totheir community,

Scotch Plains Mayor,Gabe Spera, applaudedthe efforts of UnionCounty, He stated thathe was very much infavor of resourcerecovery plants,

Councilwoman IreneSchmidt, who headsthe Solid Waste Com-mittee on the ScotchPlains Township Coun-cil, also spoke brieflyon the town's activitiesregarding recycling andsolid waste.
