Recycling coninuesBy SHEA THOMASTHE CHRONICLE
, £RANFORD — Having recy-cling picked-up on time hasbecome a problem for someNorthside residents since wokergfor the company contracted to dothe work have gone on strike.
"Everything is scheduled as italways has been, every otherWednesday; the Northside has-just be^n a,little more'difficultdue to its "heavier- volume,*1 "said"Oranford's Recycling CoordinatorPatricia Lynn.
According to Ms. Lynn,although people are calling in formissed pick-ups, most are beingserviced properly.
"Items missed should be heldfor the next pick-up date or taken
to the conservation- center. Forthe months of December, its openFridays from 9:30 a.m, to 3;20p.m. and Saturday from 9:30 a.m.to 3:50 p.m.," she said.
The recycling problems aredue to last month's strike bymembers of the Teamsters local575 which claimed unfair laborpractices by the AdvancedRecycling Technology Systems(A,R.T.S). The union filed a suitwith ..the," National LaborRelations. Board in Newark.
According to ARTS attorneySteven Weinstein., althoughunion members .are still onstrike, the business is completelyoperational with replacementworkers and some returningstrikers. "The workers are on anormal schedule," he said. "This
was nothing.really dramatic, the.company was up and runningfairly quickly and all towns arebeing serviced."
The negotiations have come toa halt with no. meetings sched-uled at this time .between theworkers and the, company. V
"The union has hot requestedto come back to the bargaimngtable," Mr. Weinstein sajd; .Theprincipal issue was -payment of

Although the. cjmpaiiyy.w.asnot obligated to payfull opyeragefor family members under .its-previous expired contract, it didanyway.
"Once the contract expired thecompany was unable to continue
providing full coverage; the unionsaid 'no, stay with what you've.been/doing- although it was overand above what was in the con-
tract'," Mr. Weinstein explained:"The cost of doing that hadreached a point where the com*-.

emjrtor! Parking strictly enforcedBy SHEA THOMASTHECHR.Q!>JICLE
' . CRANFORD — Angry shop-'pers are boycotting the down-town district due to the strictparking enforcement.
"I have one thing to aay to themerchants of .CraJaford, good-bye,and hello malls," wrote Paul T.Dorris of Roselle in an angry E-mail directed to the townshipconcerning the "parking situa-tion."
According to Mr. Dorris, heand his wjfe came to town to dosome Christmas shopping, hop-ing to avoid the crowded malls,only to receive a $43 parkingticket for a meter that still had
time."We parked on North Avenue
and made sure we had plenty ofmoney in the meter. We visited anumber of stores in the down-town area buying gifts for friendsand family and when we finishedwe had spent about $350," Mr.Dorris explained.
They returned to their car tofind officers placing a ticket onthe windshield. The time had notexpired, but drivers are notallowed to park on that streetafter $80p.m.
Mr. Dorris said the sign stat-ing this rule was way "down thestreet," so he was not madeaware of it..-'• Downtown manager Michele
Picou feels shoppers should bemore careful, then they won'thave to worry about being ticket-ed.
"If you violate parking regula-tions' - which are clearly posted,or if you park after time ~ youwill get ticketed," she said."People have to anticipate whatthey are going to do becauseparking is enforced in this town."
During this busy shoppingseason, there are even fewerplaces to park, so shoppers mustremain conscious so that allshoppers have an opportunity tobuy gifts. . • ' • " '
Tarking is a scarce resourceand local government regulatesthe use of that resource through
parking meters, and no parkingzones; the way you enforce is byissuing tickets," Mrs. Picouexplained. .
Merchants can also lessen theparking inconvenience by issuingtokens to their shoppers as acourtesy, Mrs, Picou suggests.
"We encourage people to usethe tokens, they are $4 for a rollof 40," she said. "The cost aver-ages, out to be 10-cents per token,which is a lot cheaper for shop-pers than the cost of a parkingticket."
"The merchants are encour-aged to keep them by the cash
. registers and make them readilyavailable to the customers," Mrs.Picou suggested.

By CHERYL HEHL ^CHHONICLE CORRESPONDENT ^ ~
CRANPORD - If the stress ofthe holidays or life ra general isgetting you down, taking yogacould be the solution.
Elaine Coburn describes theancient art of yoga as "better thanProzac" because it teaches young,old and even those wheelchair-bound to find peace of mind and asense of well-being through thisdrug-free alternative. The secret,she »said, is "all in how youbreathe."
It's no surprise students in MB.Coburn's local 'classes are soenthusiastic about this ancientfor n of body work that can helppeople of all ages, including thosewho are handicapped. Benefitssuch as lower blood pressure, bet-ter joint flexibility, pain manage-ment, weight control,-stoppingsm6king and stress relief are afew of the things practitioners ofyoga are able to teach students
She admits candidly she is agood example of the cumulativeeffects of yoga practice.
"I started about 10 years agobecause my arthritis was bother-ing me and I was looking for away to manage stress," said MsOoburn, who has lived inCranford 32 years. Yoga turnedout to be the drug-free solutionthat "revolutionized" her life
From that point it was an easydecision for this former publicrelations career woman to makethe transition from student toteacher of this centunes-old prac-tice. Training in the Himalayantradition, she earned a master'sdegree and is also a certified hyp-
notist , iMs Coburn said yoga and hyp-',,
notism are closely linked because <(,students ultimately learn deep'breathing yoga techniques. The#eCj|breathing exercises actually 'putJ"them in a form of self-trapce'^"which allows them to gain control"of mind and body. While m'anfy'*believe super-flexibility is a pre/1 'requisite to yoga, she said this isfar from the truth •" ,
"Most of yoga is in concentra-'"tion and breathing," the instruc-1 _ 'ftor said, "and what follows vanes''greatly with individuals But any-'"'one can enjoy the benefits." ''
Her students are from theirearly 30's to their late 80's Ms " (Coburn offers a broad range of')r'classes from those for the handi-".",'capped to complete yoga, whrch^,can be as challenging as a person ''wants it to be •fr"- "I have classes where all the"01
asanas, or postures, are p'Br'4"-'formed while sitting in a chair, as1""well as classes where students lie •"on the floor or stand for moi'e n Ichallenging work," she said
Ms Coburn stressed there are "1
few limitations when it comeB tio"{1
participating in yoga. From the lI*simple to the more complex, every'ov
student is accommodated to reach "the level she wishes to achieve 'hfl
Doing business under thev'1
name "Yoga' Yes!" Ms. Coburnoffers classes privately, to health1 "facilities and the public".11"'Currently she teaches one-hour1'"'classes Thursday and Friday'"'*mornings at the community pool"'on Centennial Avenue. Starting"Jan 5, additional classes will be1
at Trinity Episcopal Church onNorth Avenue.

LATE BREAKING NEWSWhen it comes to test-taking,
you can't do better than 100percent- unles's, of course, you cando it eight times in a row. This perfectwinning streak is owned by EGMC'sSchool of Nursfng, which has seen its last eightgraduating classes score 100 percent on their first try on the
.;.J\I.CLEX Registered Nurse licensing examination. This meansthat the 295 men and women who have graduated from theSchool, since January, 1994, have all passed this rigorous testWith flying colors.: ,":. "It's gratifying to know that our graduates are so well prepared
I fpr-the test, and so well qualified to be nurses/' reported Mary.Elizabeth Kelley, R.N., M.AV clean of the Medical Center's School Qf
;::;'Nurjs)ngi.:"Weieel that a strong clinical program,combined with - -Mekcellertt classrooqi instruction at the School of Nursing and at
••:'/ Union County College, accounts for the program's success," she' "'added.;';
•••..;l;°. Another gratifying tretjd is the recent influx of new, students, into the program. "With a growing number of
•"opportunities' being maderavaitable to nurses, peopleVealize. that nursing is once again an excellent career choice,'7
explained Patricia Castaldi, R.N., M.S.N., associate dean.These expanded opportunities include positions in managedcare, home health, the pharmaceutical industry and more. Sheadded, "We expect that these new opportunities will result in asevere shortage of qualified nurses in the years ahead."
Indeed, nursing is attracting people"from very diverse• backgrounds. Among the 486 students currently enrolled in
the EGMC School of Nursing are individuals working aspolicemen, firefighters, teachers, accountants and even bankmanagers. The flexibility of the School's day, evening andweekend programs allows students to keep their current jobwhile they prepare for their new career in nursing.

Graduates of the program receive a diploma in Nursingfrom the EGMC School of Nursing and an Associate in
. Science Degree from Union County College. For moreInformation please cal] (908) 709-7500.
WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND?
We have all read that some, mental symptoms get.worse in the.fail;and winter. What is its basj$?
.There is a definite relationship for someindividuals suffering from clinlcaMepression. •S l A f f i d
g epSeasonal Affective Disorder, as one syndrome iscalled, is the form taken in those'patients whohave recurrent major depression". Suchindividuals experience recurrence of a pastdepression most frequently in, wintertime. Therecurrence does not necessarily occur everywinter. An occasional patient experiences the •on$et of depression by going on vacation In amore northerly area where daylight suddenly isshorter in duration. The condition is responsiveto the amount, of light exposure during the dayand Is often helped by an artificial light source.The4r«mment is called phototherapy and is oftenused as an adjunct to antidepressant medication.

d e c i s i o n r e g a r d i n g t h e c o n s t r u c -t i o n o f a n e w s c h o o l i n t h e b o r -o u g h . ' •'• . -.' ;. .'••••.'.'-•'•. ••. V ' ' :.':
This followed what BoardPresident Raymoftd Grimes esti-mated as two. years of'sjiudy,planning and public inputthrough an Ad Hoc Committee.While public comments at themeeting were at times openlyhostile towards the board or itsarchitectural firm NKP, the con-sensus^ was clearly that the bor-
pi]gb•. •,needed a new school,increasing maintenance costsand repair costs for the 70-year-old buildings were no longer costeffective.
If the applause of those pre-sent following the board's deci-sion was any indication, themajority clearly felt it was timeto move forward with the mostrecent plan which was precededby four prior designs. This planbecame possible when the First
Aid Squad offered its adjacentWalnut Street property inexchange for suitable quarterselsewhere.
One repeated concern was theeffect the current design wouldhave on Second Avenue since itwould be blocked off and becomea dead end while others wel-comed the absence of traffic thatwould result.
Most residents arguingagainst the plans appeared to be
objecting primarily to the cost,particularly by those on fixedincomes. According . to figurespresented by Peter Caprio, theestimated annual cost for taxpay-ers would be $343.18 per$100,000 assessed propertyvalue.
Board member Loretta Spinaemphasized' that this is not the
, end of public input, but that theprocess would include moreopportunities.
William Jeremiah, the boardfeattorney, also1-clarified that thjeresolution would place the. pro-posal before the • voters (fGarwood in a referendum.
When asked for reaction folowing the meeting, Garwoo 1Mayor Michael Crincoli put thaboard's action into proper peispective.

A sensible solutionfor Garwood
schoolsMost elementary school kids learn early on not to throw good
money after bad, but too often their parents.forget t'he same les-son.
Pouring money into a century-old school huilding would fallinto the "good-after-bad" category, but the Garwood Board ofEducation hopes to put an end to their growing maintenancebudget for repairs at Lincoln and Franklin Schools with a refer-endum fbr a new school.
And ajter hearing from residents at a public meeting on Dec.6, the board is going to ask voters to approve a plan tD build anew school on the site of the existing buildings, with a price tafcestimated at $11 million! _ , -, , v
Tliis is a'referendum the town can support.... W?ith most new elementary school projects in New Jersey tlbp-pirigGut ,at $15-20 million,,the Garwood project is fiscally con-servative in the best sense of the word. By using land alreadyo\vhed by the district and-ar-sensible design.-the'- Board ofEducation has developed a reasonable solution for Garwood res-idents. : •>' |
And residents should support this plan.The district is currently spending $1 million every four years
keeping the schools functioning, a cost which will not only con-tinue but will almost surely increase. In the past year, the dis-trict has been forced to make emergency repairs to water linesand exterior walls, on top of the planned expenditures.
That's a recipe for disaster. Sooner or later a wall will crum-ble, a beam split or a ceiling collapse while children are in class.
Of course, no referendum comes without a price tag, and forGarwood residents, this plan's price tag will be about ($400) peryear, but residents will enjoy a return on their investment.
The building planned will meet current enrollment needs andallow for expansion in the future should the need arise, housethe public library and offer Garwood children a safe environ-ment to learn in.
All that for what amounts to about the same expenditure overthe next 30 years for Garwood students.
That's throwing good money after good.

Judge showed fairness when others didn'tTo The Chronicle:
As a resident for 23 years in Cranford, I experi-enced my first encounter of how our MunicipalCourt system works in an informal manner, due toan incident that occurred during a PAL (PoliceAthletic League)-sponsored football practice.
I gained insight into'tha fairness that Judge Bellexhibits to all parties and his awareness of equalresponsibility to those involved.
I can only hope that in the future, the PAL orga-nization and its board members can learn fromJudge Bell's conclusions, which in my opinionshould have been the same conclusion the PALboard members should have came.to if all partiesinvolved were given the opportunity to presentw h a t h a d o c c u r r e d a r i d h a p p e n e d d u r i n g t h a t p r a c -t i c e , . • • ' . • • • • • . . • ' • • ' . . / : ; . V ...".•• •' ••'• ':• • • • .. •':
I honestly believe one coach acted out of concernfor the physical safety of a player and the otheracted without thinking for that second, about that"safety. Neither coach acted to intentionally causeharm to anyone. Yet, the PAL board elected to sus-pend only one player involved and one coachinvolved and later would not allow that coach andformer director of the PAL for many years to returnto resume coaching his teamand players.

Municipal decorations make some proudTo The Chronicle:
What a pleasure it is to see the KenilworthMunicipal Building decorated in a manner that theresidents of Kenilworth can take pride in. MikeAstone of Astone's Tree.Service donated the lightsand the labor to decorate the building. As a long-time resident-.and a police officer in the borough formore than 20 yeal?s, this, is the best this buildinghas ever looked. ,
In the past years I have seen the most pathetic
and ridiculous looking decorations placed ori theMunicipal Building that hot only tajke away yourChristmas spirit but also your town pride:
1 Thanks, Mike, for decorating the building in away that brings Christmas tjpirit and pride not onlyto the residents arid employees of Kenilworth, butfor anyone who passes throughit.

On behalf of the Cranford Parent TeacherCouncil Scholarship Fund, we would like to thankeveryone who helped to make our fourth annualLive Wreath Sale a wonderful success. This enablesus to provide schqlarship money to deservingCranford High School seniors; '
We would like to extend a special thank you tothe following businesses for their support: Tony's

The other coach involved was never given anyconsequence by the board members for his partici-pation and actions,.
My family has been actively involved with thePAL football and cheerleading programs for thepast 15 years, contributing our time and hard workto see these programs grow and prosper-fbr allCranford youth.
It is with a feeling of regret and disappointmentthat respect for those countless hours of volun-teerism and a display of fairness was not exhibitedby the PAL organization.
We will miss being involved with all the playersand parents we have come to know over the years .and,will.hot seek out another.town's program of.sports-related activities, Whatever time, experience•aiid.taleht wei can contribute to youth will be donehere in pur hometown of Cranford. We hope tliePAL has learned from this, incident and will cohtiri-ue'irttfie future to make this program a fair and'positive experience for,all involved, .;.:.'••

Along the way I would makelasting friendships and meet myfuture husband, otherwise knownas "my beloved.' No one could bemore surprised than me whenquite by chance my editor hap-pened upon a touching personallook back about my prom sometwenty years before. And so"Shenanigans," the column, cameabout in 1990. It would be thereeach week I would look back intime, reflect on what it was, likegrowing up and make, people seethe humor in everyday life. Iwould be humbled by the positiveresponse to this column,, butnever more so than when I left tosee what else life had to offer.
Rarely afweek would go bywithout someone asking mybeloved or me "When isShenanigans coming hack, wemiss it." Few knew I missed it,too. I also missed writing about
the good thirigs, the positivethings people bye to read about. Imissed the people, the laughterand the thrill of waiting for thepaper to come but each arid everyThursday morning,
Maybe you never really appre-ciate anything until it's gone. Butat least I finally understand whatGrandma meant when she saidhindsight is 20/20.Understandable - - but not veryconsoling when you are trying togo back. So I did what I usually dowhen I want something badenough, pulled out all the stakesand started praying for a miracle,wishing on stars, arid hoping thisyear when I pulled on .the turkeywishbone, the big end would endup, for once, in my hand. Call itfate, good luck or what I wouldlike to believe,.that someone waslistening up there, It worked,
The call Oarhe a few days after
Thanksgiving. They asked if Icould write again for the paper Ismiled to myself, looked up andsaid a silent thank-you to thatmystical, magical place wherewishes come true and someonealways seems to be listening, i _,
This year when I hear thatChristmas song, "I'll Be Home ForChristmas," my heart will jbelighter because I know I'm backwhere I should be, telling-stonesthat touch the heart and hopeftil-ly making your paper reflect thepart of Cranford we all know andlove. |
So if you see me, stop and aayhello and remember, every lifehas a story to tell. Big or am$ll,they balance news stories and/letpeople know there is somethingspecial about a town calledCranford; I'll be here to listen.'Asit should be, my friends ]

r others, especially during the holiday season, accord-ing to The Points 6f Light Foundation.
"Volunteering as a group can also help bring you and yourrelatives closer together. '
v i Here's what $ome volunteers say:* According to one youngster, the whole community is-like
1 one big family. One time, he recruited friends to help his fami-. ly plant trees int a local park.
1 "It gives me a good feeling when I help others," he said,1 "Volunteering brings me closer to my family and friends

"We come together like one big family. We all care for eachother," says Carolene Turner, 46. "If someone feels bad ... we'rethere for them."
To make the volunteering experience more rewarding, con-sider these tips:

Holiday photosThis holiday season, don't forget to take
lots of family pictures!!The holidays provide a world of unforget-
table moments just waiting to be capturedon film — brilliant lights of a Christmastree or Hanukkah candles, a child's radiantsmile when opening a gift. Nikon makes tak-ing great holiday pictures easy with-a greattoll-free-Nikon Holiday Photo Tips Hotline,•$88-MY-NUVlS.
Sam Garcia, Nikon School of.Photographyinstructor, offers some'other tips to ensurethe best holiday photos:
Be prepared. Make sure your camera isloaded 'and has fresh batteries before iheholidays start. There's nothing worse thanmissing that perfect shot because you forgot'film.
The first snow. When taking photos- offriends and family frolicking in the snow, bevsure to use a flash. This allows the faces ofyour subject to be illuminated, -keepingstrong winter shadows out of the picture.
Candid kids. Take candid pictures ofchildren rather than posing them and getdown to their level. Candid photos are morefun and let the kids' personality come out.
Fun faces. To really capture a meaning-ful facial expression, get in close. Fill theframe with the face of your subject to createan unforgettable memory.

tlJE CHRONICLE
BOUND BROOK — Groups of familiesbraved the brisk weather Sunday afternoonjust to give their children a unique pre-holi-day gift.
After standing on a train platform in thdcold wind, about 300 people hopped aboarda warm Cranford-bound train to spend timewith a special passenger —jolly ol* St.Nick.^-Eoj many of the children, it was a doubly
special day, combining their first encounterwith the jolly old fat man with their firsttrain-ride.
Ev^n before children got on the platform,they repeatedly asked their parents, ."Where's Santa?" - >
While waiting in a line in the under-ground tunnel leading to the eastboundtrain platform, their questions wereanswered. t
Dressed in red, his long white beardblowing in the wind, Santa emerged andushpred everyone aboard .the last three carsof. a N.J. Transit Train. •;: •
Once onboard, Santa proceeded downthe isles with several helpers, includingBound Brook Special Improvement District(SID) Planner Mary Moody, Karen Fritzand Ginny Santbmen. •
Bob Hbrton, Ghyistine Van'Decastle andMrs. Moody/s husband, Richard, also volun-teered to help out on the. ."Santa Train."
Candy canes were in abundance ais: Santa and his elves passed out dolls, holi-day stockings, paint sets, coloring books,plastic animals and other sorted presents tothe children.
The Santa Train was the brain, child ofMrs. Moody and was sponsored by the SID,which purchased a toy for each child whoattended the event. : "
Ms. Fritz said she was extremely pleased

Cosentino said their children Mikey, 7, andAnnie, 4, were thrilled to ride the rails with
"This is tremendous," Mr. Cosentino s,aid."I hope they continue to do more things forthe children in the future."
"This is a great family outing for all ofus," Mrs^Cosentino added.
Pulling into the Cranford station, five-year-old Chris Winkleman asked Santa ifbe could "be one of his elves one day."
Chris' mother, Stacey, said Santa toldhim "yes11 - but only when Chris gets older.- "We have been ona few train rides *ithSanta and I have to say this is one of the-nicest ones we have been on,"-Ms.Winkleman said,, . .
During the 45-minute layover inCranford, the riders got off the Santa Train,did some holiday shopping and grabbed abite to eat.
"We went to neighborhood shops toinform them we were coming and asked ifthey-wpuld accommodate us," Mrs. Moodysaid, "We just took copies of menus and v :made sure the restaurants were not servingfive course meals." , ^
"We wanted places where people couldstop, get a cup of coffee and sit down and.have a sandwich," she said, • .
The SID planner commended the town ofCranford, saying it serves as an excellentmodel for the projected growth of SoundBrook's downtown area. V
"This is a beautiful little town and wehope this is what Bound Brook could ; .become," she said. "This could be BoundBrook in five yearn"
After spending some time in Cranford,the riders returned to the train for theirtrip back to Bound Brook.
During the trip home, Santa and hishelpers made their way through the cars .one moretime to wish everyone a merry.O h U d i ^ h i t b l 3
"We are an old-fashioned town and welike to do old-fashioned things,"! She said.

"Politicians at all levels of gov-ernment campaign for office likethey are running for Marshal ofpodge City, Unfortunately, afterthey're elected, they performmore like Miss Kitty,'* he joked.
Chief Wilde made it perfectlyclear that he doesn't feelGovernor Whitman fit's into thatcategory by pointing out her
strong commitment to reducingcrime with the passing of thenation's most progressive laws.The chief pointed, out "Megan'sLaw,"..which^notifies reaidentsifaconvicted sex offender moveff intotheir neighborhood and . t h e"Three Strikes and You're In" leg-islation to send convicted crimi-nals with three felony charges toprisoti for life," were signed and

ready for "high fives" just yet."There is still a lot of work and
follow-up heeded to insure thatthese statistics will become atrend and not just an anomaly,"he said.

Whiletheir project was challengingbecause of merchandise on dis-
play, the club rose to the occasionwith an innovative concept.
They began by decorating awreath; for the front door usingfruit, holly and ivy as well as gar-land to create a Victorian looktypical of the period the buildingsreflect.
Inside, the club continued thistheme incorporating the samegreenery and fruit into displaymerchandise and spotlightingthe fireplace in a holiday design.
