The sparks that have been flying inthe Scotch Plains Fire Departmentsince 1991 finally seem to be dyingdown due to the work of subcommit-

tees and the consultant which wereappointed by the Township Council.

The problems with thedepartment's equipment, morale andtheirChief Jonathan Ellis surfaced inmid-1991, when members of Com-pany No. 2 took a list of complaints toTownship Manager Thomas E.Atkins.

William Feury, a Company No. 2firefighter for 17 years, said a few

Superintendent Recommends AddingDays at the End of the School Year

District Must Make Up Sessions Lost Due to Storms and Much Icy Weather

By GLENN R. KAPLINSK VSpecially Writunfor Tki Tim,,

Dr. Carol B. Choye, the Superin-tendent of Schools, recommended tothe Scotch Plains-Fanwood Board ofEducation at its conference meetingthat Wednesday and Thursday, June22 and 23, be added to the schoolcalendar.

If necessary Friday, June 24, alsowould be added.

These would be make-up days forthose lost during the recent snowstorms.

The slate mandates a minimum180-day school year.

TheScolchP\ains-T;imwixxl schoolcalendar for (his year is 184 days.

Six snow days already have beenused.

According to Dr. Choyc, the Gov-ernor, Mrs. ChristineTodd Whitman,will not "forgive" any days.

Board Secretary Richard J.Marshall gave board members theproposed 1994 school budget.

Dr. Choye states the budget toppriority is "what is best for young-sters."

This budget, she added, is "moreexplicit about priorities."

The board will not find out howmuch the district will receive in stateaid until about Tuesday, March 15.

Mr. Marshall, in compiling thebudget is assuming the school systemwill receive the same amount of aid itdid from the stale last year.

The Superintendent noted, "Theteachers carry the real responsibilityof helping youngsters learn. Ap-proximately $83,000 has been bud-geted for strategic planning."

The proposed 1994 budget con-tains no increases except for salaryThe increase of 2.& per cent over lustyear's budget translates into a \ittleover $1.3 million, officials said.

A rise in local property taxes of 3.9per cent is forecast due to schoolexpenses.

Federal aid to the township andborough schools has been cut dra-matically, Mr. Marshall said.

He noted approximately 12 percentof the funds in the 1993-1994 spend-ing plan came from the slate.

The full board will review the per-formance over the last 10 months ofthe Superintendent at its Thursday,March 24 meeting.

Individual board members, prior

"superficial remedies" were made atthetime.butthenihecomplainuwerenot looked into further.

During this time, Company No. 1was experiencing similar problems,according to Mr. Feury.

Among the complaints were faultyand outdated equipment and uni-forms, and a lack of communicationbetween the volunteer firefighters andChief Ellis, whose salary is paid bythe township.

Mr. Feury said about the watertanks used by the department, whichreportedly leak, "The equipment is adanger. You can't guess what is in atank. It 's a danger a volunteershouldn't have to take."

He said the money that was sup-posed to go to new tanks was used topurchase an aerial truck, which wasintended for use on the South side ofthe township; Company No. 2's terri-tory, but was stored on the North side,where it does not fit in the garage.

Mr. Feury added the companyasked why, but was not given a re-sponse. He attributes unansweredquestions like this to the lack of mo-rale.

"There are a lot of unanswered

sued within 10 days, and Dr. Oniealthen will meet with all involved par-ties to begin the next steps.

Firefighter and personal equipmentand gear committee member JohnLestarchick also believes the com-mittees are working.

"At this time I am very satisfiedwith our committee. So far it lookslike our problems will be ironed out."

But Mr. Lestarchick was not sureabout the success of the morale com-mittee, "All our problems on theequipment committee could be solvedwith money, but it is different withthe morale committee."

Dr. Onieal said when be beganworking as a consultant to Scotch

Plains he found "a group of verydedicated firefighters who had beenkindof ignored.They really had cometo the end of their rope."

The problem, according to DtOnieal, was not the Chief was notdoing his job, but theTownshipCoun-cil did not have an understanding ofhow to handle the situation.

"It was a breakdown of communi-cation. They didn't understandfirefighters do not complain, but whenthey do, they mean it," Dr. Oniealsaid.

The consultant added the subcom-mittees have worked because theyhave introduced the governing body

They also will make public theirsurvey of the downtown businessdistrict. The last public meetingon February 10 was canceled dueto a snow storm.

A resolution was passedregarding the late payment ofquarterly taxes which were dueon February 10.

The resolution provides, "Anytax payment received through themail which has a postmark on orbefore February 10 shall beexempt from interest penaltieswhich would normally beassessed."

Township Manager Thomas E.

Atkins, in a letter to the councildated February 14, stated he willhave a draft 1994 municipalbudget to the council within aweek.

The task of Mr. Atkins is madedifficult due to the fact at the

have been set up to discuss the com-plaints and draft reports about theaction needed to remedy the prob-lems.

The subcommittees each have onecouncil member and five firefightersand are broken down into the follow-ing categories: Capital equipment,personal equipment and gear andmorale and facilities.

Mr. Feury is. on the morale andfacilities subcommittee.

According to Mr. Atkins, the goalof the subcommittees is to "developan action plan for things that shouldbe addressed in the near future and inthe long run."

according to United States CensusBureau estimates from 1992.

In a report issued on February 7,the Census Bureau said nationwideshifts in the amount of people be-tween 1990 and 1992 snowed de-clines in some of New Jersey's mostdensely populated areas

The largest city in the state, New-ark, was reported among 45 largecities in the nation which lost resi-dents over the two years.

Figures from two years ago showedan overall downturn in the state'surban centers, including Newark,down 2.7 per cent: Atlantic City, 1.9per cent; East Orange, 1.8 per cent;Elizabeth, 1.9 percent; Passaic, 1.9percent; Paterson, I.I percent, andPlainfield, 2.6 per cent.

Topping the list of the United Statescities of more than 100,000 whichlost population between 1990 and1992 was Hartford, Connecticut.

Also included among the top 45 inthat category were Newark, Eliza-beth and Paterson.

Newark, whose population was275,221 in 1990, dropped to 267,849by 1992.

Newark officials, however, con-tinue to claim the Census Bureaumissed a number of people in thatcity, as it did in 1990.

According to a spokesman for thestate Department of Labor, however,Newark has shown a continuing de-cline while other Essex County com-munities have been growing in popu-lation.

The more densely populated areas

of the state are slowing down ingrowth, according to the spokesman,and, in a continuation of a 20-yeartrend, the more open areas are grow-ing.

The United States Figures showSomerset, Hunterdon andfGloucesterCounties with the highest percentageof growth in the state.

Senate President Calls for Change in NameOf Rutgers to Reflect New Jersey's Heritage

The changing of the name ofRutgers University to reflect thefact it is the state university ofNew Jersey is being advocated bySenate President Donald T.DiFrancesco, whose district in-cludes Westfield, Scotch Plainsand Fan wood.

Senator DiFrancesco wants toconduct public hearings and pos-sibly put the issue on a referen-dum because he feels state prideand national identity are at stake.

He also feels the issue, which hehas discussed from time to timeover the last 15 years, now wouldgain more attention because of hisgreater political prominence asthe head of the state Legislature'supper house.

One of the forums being con-sidered by the lawmaker to enablethose in favor and against the pro-posal is a hearing before the Sen-ate Education Committee.

Rutgers has held that name since1825 when the university changedits designation from Queens Col-lege to honor Colonel HenryRutgers, a former Trustee of thecollege and a veteran of theAmeri-can Revolutionary War, who do-nated $5,000 to the school.

In 1864, the higher educationfacility was designated the state's

.Senator Donald. T , DIFrapcesco '

land grant college, and the corpo-rate name was changed in 1956 toRutgers — The State University.

Despite this, however, the .Sena-tor feels many people still do notrealize Rutgers is the state univer-sity.

Some of the reasonscited by thelegislator for advocating thechange this year are the construc-tion of an expanded Rutgers foot-ball stadium, the allocation of seedmoney toward a new Rutgers lawschool in Newark and the emer-gence of Rutgers athletic teamsinto a more national spotlight.

He also said with the school

Even though Governor, Mrs.Christine Todd Whitman, hasmade no commitment to the namechange she has told the Senatorshe has "no problem" with thechange.

Senator DiFrancesco noted theGarden State is the only one of the50 without a university that hasthe state name.

He emphasized, however, he isnot trying to downgrade the his-toric significance of Rutgers,which was founded in 1766 asQueens College, the eighth insti-tution of higher education in thecolonies.

The name Rutgers can be re-vered, he added, by calling thenew stadium Rutgers Stadium, butthe university's athletic teamsshould be recognized as comingfrom New Jersey.

Another advantage seen by theSenator is the ease with whichathletes could be recruited and agreater ability to recruit studentsnationwide for the law school.

Public Works Department DemonstratedEfficiency in Downtown Snow Removal

A few weeks ago we criticized the \Vr-stfici.iPublic Works Department for its failure :orespond as rapidly or as efficiently as «vwould have liked in removing sr.ow :ro.:v.some streets and parking areas after the :".rs: o:many snowstorms which iu%e ?:.i£:;ec :'?.<areu nvent.ly.

Parking spaces always have been at apremiurrfin the downtown area, and they havebeen more so the past few weeks becausesnowfall after snowfall compounded by iceand sleet have made it impossible to get nearmany curbs, and also quite difficult for thetown's crews to clear roadways while allowingfor the safe passage of traffic.

This clearing was done with a great deal ofspeed and efficiency throughout the businessdistrict on Monday.

We. too. woulil prefer that the work be doneon the weekend, but there are other con-siderations.

It must be noted, nonetheless, the town'ssnow-removal budget already is way abovethat which was anticipated when budgetingfirst was done for this winter's program.

The majority of Westfield taxpayers, we aresure, would not want to add to their fiscalburden by having to pay contracted snow-removal employees at overtime rates forweekend work rather than straight time forclearing done during a normal business day.

The minor inconvenience will be offset, webelieve, with the return of many customerswho have been kept away by the recent spateof snowstorms.

Brunner School Parents RapSnow Removal in Township

\

On behalf of the Howard B.Brunner School Parent-TeacherAssociation of Scotch Plains, I amwriting to inform you of our greatconcern regarding the condition ofthe access roads surrounding BrunnerSchool.

We are aware the weather duringJanuary was very unusual anddifficult, and therefore, made keepingthe roads clear a most challengingjob.

However, we feel it necessary toimplore the Board of Education andthe township to make the roads safefor our youngsters. The condition ofHomestead Terrace and CedarbrookRoad was extremely dangerous evenas late as Friday, January 28.

These roads were either not plowedat all or plowed too late during therecent storms, and thus they becamepacked down and literally a sheet ofice.

The students in the third throughfifth gradesenterandexitthe buildingby taking Homestead Terrace toCedarbrook Road and then crossingthe blacktop area to the rear of thebuilding. There is a gate opening onthe fence between Cedarbrook Roadand the school blacktop, which wasblocked and piled high with snow onseveral occasions making it verydifficult and hazardous for thestudents to even get on to the schoolproperty.

I'm sure officials are acquaintedwiththeinclineonHomesteadTerracethat is at the point where parents dropoff or pick up their children.

Forget 'Make-Up' School Days;Families Should Spend Time TogetherAs we attempt todigour way out of

several snow storms and the problemin dealing with "make-up days" forour public schools, 1 would like tooffer a few comments and sug-gestions.

Unfortunately, many schooldistricts in the State of New Jerseywill be experiencing muchcontroversy over when these snowclays should be made up. It wouldseem impossible everyone could besatisfied, but perhaps there is a way,

Many people are locked into

Mount Everest, probably thehighest mountain in the world, Isestimated to be 29,002 feet tall.

financial obligations with regard toexpenses for February vacation.

After all, it is very short notice,considering winter break orPresidents' week begins on February21. April vacation also is a problemfor many, and likewise, Saturdays.

So perhaps the most logical andsensible remedy is to chalk up threeor four days as an "act of God" insteadof'playingGod"—unless, of course,the 180 school days requirement iscurved in stone.

So how about it, Department ofEducation?

Do we honestly feel our childrenwill become illiterates for missingthree or four school days?

Isn't it about time the state stopsthreatening our local school districtswith withdrawing "state aid" which,in essence, represents our own taxdollars.

In this situation, family time isequally as important as a few schooldays.

Councilman LaPorta RepresentsChange for Future of Westfield

The political ban. word for thel"W0's appears to be "Change."

Bill Clinton won the presidency inIW2 with that as his theme.

This past election.we saw ChristineTodd Whitman as well as KudyGiuliani tvlh win using thai samephilosophy.

It appears the voters air fed up withbusiness as usual and everyone wantschange.

Change tool pl,v* even here inWcstfioW. yet some of our politiciansare ti> iiw to olose their eyes to it. InWe*tfieUi. Von> I alVtta was electeda* a Councilman, Vhat representedchange.

Since I moveo1 toWesifield in IWl,l have enjojeJ hcing a resident.WoxficM ofters everything that youMVMiM want in a suburban town.Alnvst e VM> thing that is. Safe streets,;->).MS;int neighbors, quaint town, goodsvhools. but don't forget thoseoutrageous taxes!

I first mot Tony LaPorta in the fallof I**0? when he rang my doorbelland asked for our support in theupcoming election. 1992 was goingto tv my second opportunity to votesiive moving to Westfield.

t remembered when 1 voted in 1991,the unique aspect of that election wasthat many important positions wentunopposed. I asked myself why Ibothered to show up at the pollingplace.

When Tony LaPorta showed up atmy door in 1992,1 was impressed by

a volunteer in a private community inthe Pocwtos and know what it takesto get» professionally-done study asthis one is. The. town could easilyhave spent $25,OOOto an outside firmfor such u study.

Now, where do we go from here.With a new Governor who has sometough promises to keep aboutdropping taxes, ihe towns are worriedtheir stale aid is possibly in danger ofbeing cut back!

The LaPorta report has manyexcellent recommendations our towncould adopt if Ihe Mayor and TownCouncil want to, which would saveall of us thousands of tax dollars!

It is up to us, the townspeople, todemand that they do. Our Westfieldtax dollars are not working as hard asthey could be.

Our town budget is neatly $24million annually. How hard is thecouncil looking to stretch our taxdollars?

How hard could they be workingwhen one of the council membersrecently admitted on televisions thathe hadn't read Tony LaPorta's 'committee report, submitted inAugust 1993, yet they criticized Mr.LaPorta in his effort to enhance ourtown operation.

Residents of Westfield wake up!This report is available at Ihe town

library if you want to see it.Demand our elected officials take

advantage of the recommendationsin this report and save our tax dollarsstarting this year.

Some of our town fathers' arehis style and his apparent sincerity.He got my vote and that of many of s o m e . ° » o u r I o w n l a«n e r s . a r e

my neighbors. suggesting putting off these--• - • - recommendations until the 1995

budget. This report was submitted inAugust 1993. What are they waitingfor?

If the politicians have their way,they can stall off using this untileveryone forgets about it.

On behalf of the residents ofWestfield I would like to say thanksTony, for all your hard work anddedication.

Truly, you are a breath of fresh airin a one-horse town. Keep up thegood work.

It's time public officials inWestfield realize business as usualcannot be accepted any longer.

Change is here, let's accept it andmake government work moreefficiently for us.

When I've had concerns aboutissues in my neighborhood, I havenot been afraid to call upon Tony athome and discuss the issues. It appearshe hasn't changed one bit, from thetime he rang my doorbell. He followsup and keeps in touch about concernsof our town.

I recently learned of his Ad HocCommittee on the budget and theirreport which was published. I calledhim and asked for a copy of theirreport, which Tony supplied to mewithin a few days.

I must state after reviewing theirfindings I must congratulate Tonyand his volunteers, Peter G. Gould,James Foerst, Julie Tan and JeffreyScheininger on preparation of anoutstanding, valuable document.

I * 1/1 popcorn

She is Nicole, 14 and hell-bent ongrowing up fast.

He is Andre, her affable but thus farneglectful French father, determinedto make their Jamaica vacation anevent of daughter-dad healing.

She, of Park Avenue worldliness,is embarrassed to be escorted by Pop.He's humorously oblivious to thehormone-induced schemings of thegirl who would be a woman.

Thus spake the plot of My Father,f/ieHero.DirectorSteveMiner'sram-bling remake of a French languagefarce. Rather than championing asophisticated route to wit and wis-dom, he chooses the lowest commondenominator at every snickering turn.

Papa, in this Anglo version isGerard Depardieu, while the "inno-cently deceitful" daughter is portrayedby an incessantly pouting KalherineHeigl.

Depardieu, adjusting to the comicdemands of this American version,successfully comes off as a roly-poly,good-intentioned, but emotionallyunaware parent when it comes towhat makes the teenaged daughtertick. He is divorced from mom and acontinent usually separates him fromhis precocious offspring.

Here'sthe convolving twist: Upontheir arrival at the island resort, Nicolequickly spreads the damaging lie —the man she's traveling with is herlover, a brutish, coarse and insensi-tive bloke just one step up from awhite slaver. Thus, she is to be pitied,and even rescued if a handsome youngman just happens to be available.

Before long, a strapping youth whofits the romantic description surfaces.Inspired by tawdry talk-show topics,Nicole tells all the phoney baloneyabout Dad to Ben, the kid suitor on awhite horse acted by well-scrubbedDalton James.

Shortly thereafter, Andre starts get-ting the cold treatment from an in-creasingly shunning group of fellowvacationers. Of course, he doesn'tknow his chief pariah comes cour-tesy of Nicole's insane tale of woe.

A very funny scene: It's talent nightand a middle-aged woman who's beenwooing Andre urges him to get upand play the piano. Finally acceding,he announces he'll favor the crowdwith a tune popularized by a muchbeloved Frenchman. Depurdieu'sAndre then proceeds to attack theeighty-eights and belts out "ThankHeaven for Little Girls." The audi-ence is incredulous at his utter chutz-pah.

The rest is downhill for this se-verely-contrived comedy of pur-posely-mistaken identities. Neitherthe Director nor his actors show usanything outstanding whilst goingthrough the predictable motions as

outlined by screenwriters CharliePeters and Francis Veber.

Causing the gears to grind a bit, adisruptive switch in mood occurs af-ter daughter lets Dad in on the dirtthat she has been smearing.

Suddenly, he takes the soft andsensitive path, and even does theCyrano thing, whispering the con-vincing words of entreatyteleprompter style as Nicole tries toset things right with a disillusionedBen. There's a modicum of honorhere, but for the most part it's nobette^than run-of-the-mill sit-co ifodder.

Worth mentioning is the curiouslyreckless message My Father, the Herodelivers. It's an uncomfortable bit ofsocio-cultural observation that thefilmmakers make—sexual arroganceand how to harness it for the good ofall those concerned always is a puzzle-ment that demands both conservativewisdom and liberal understanding.

But My Father, the Hero whiledabbling, brings forth no great thesis— not even a mediocre axiom, letalone a mildly-useful anecdote.

In truth, methinks these guys aremerely cashing in on the naughtyquotient, which almost always bor-ders on bad taste.

Even a very game Mr. Depardieucan't rescue My Father, the Herofrom its sophomoric and sexually-irresponsible sensibilities.

Don't Be StuckFor Not ObeyingEtiquette Rules

Etiquette—Most of the rules thatgovern social relations betweenpeople are drummed into children byparents and teachers.

These laws of behavior are calledetiquette, defined as "the practicesand forms prescribed by socialconvention or by authority."

The French, in the 16th century,coined the word etiquette, whichdescribes "the rules or notes that werestuck on a wall or post," postednotices.

To prove the point, the source ofetiquette is the Latin word etiquer,"to stick."

TheEnglish word, ticket, isderivedfrom etiquette, and to this day theidiom, "that's the ticket," still means"quite correct."

But if you violate the rules ofetiquette, or worse yet, Ihe rules ofthe road, a policeman will probably"stick it to you" with a traffic ticket.

Look Toward Long TermIn Initial Public Offerings

Editor's Note: The following is getting the chance to buy in.oneinaseriesofcolumnsonfinancial Whiletheofferingoffenlhechinceplanning by Richard C. Underhill, a for an investor to get in on the ground- — • - floo, of the next Apple or Microsoft,

they are not for the average investor.Certified Financial Planner with anoffice in Westfield.

With lower interest rates on moneymarket instruments and certificatesof deposit, investors are seeking waysto earn a higher return.

Capturing some investors' fancyare initial public offerings.

Apple Computer and Microsoft .were once offerings, and they mademillions for their early investors.

HoWever, when it comes to theseofferings, there is no such thing as anApple a day.

In an initial public offering, acompany offers the public shares inits ownership for the first times.

Typically, an investment banker orgroup of investment bankersunderwrites the offering through aselling agreement with the companyand then sells the new shares of stockto the public, directly or throughdealers, with market demand

. determining the exact price at anygiven time.

Initial public offerings are issuedfor a variety of reasons. Start-up orsmall companies may want to raisecapital to help operate and expandthe firm.

The owner(s) of an establishedprivately-held company may want toraise the value of their holdings, sellout, raise cash or reduce debt, expandor acquire a new business. In somecases, publicly-owned companies are'bought out by private investors and •then go public again through an initialpublic offering.

The same low interest rates that arecurrently the bane of investors makeinitial public offerings appealing tocompanies and the market can becomeflooded with them.

Where the offering once were theglamorous game of large institutionalinvestors, smaller investors are

Many companies, especially start-up firms, are virtually unknown anduntested in the marketplace. Theremay be no demand for a new stockand its price will decline.

Early demand can send the pricesof "hot issues" skyrocketing, only tofall back quickly within a month oreven days of issue. Frequently, thosewho make the money from theofferings are existing companyshareholders, participating venturecapitalists and the underwriters.

Still, if initial public offeringsintrigue you, discuss new offeringswith your financial-planning'professional and read the company'sbalance sheet. Review all the pre-offering documents with care.

They provide a detailed account ofthe company's history, business,competition, lawsuits arid other risks.

Look at the company *s track record.Does it carry a heavy debt load?

Does it have a strong business nicheor is it entering an already crowdedfield?

Are new products on the drawingboard? What is its five-year growthpotential?

Study the company's managementteam. Do they look competent?

Have they ever been involved in abankruptcy or criminal proceeding?

Are they keeping a stake in thecompany after trie offering or likelyto bail out?

How is the company planning touse the money raised in the stocksale: Pay down existing debt? Expandor acquire other businesses? Invest innew products?

As with any other investment, lookfor the long-term prospects ratherthan roll the dice on a quick-retumgamble.

Peter G. Gould of 341 West DudleyAvenue, who was appointed last monthto fill a vacancy on the Westfield Boardof Education, has filed a petition to runfor one of the three three-year positions'open on the board on the Tuesday, April19, board election.

Mr.Oould joins fellow appointee Rob-ert H. Flast, who also has filed to run fora three-year position, and current boardPresident, Mrs. Susan H. Pepper, whohas filed for the single one-year positionopen in this year's election.

A principal in the New York office ofOverseas Partners Group, an investmentfirm specializing in corporate acquisi-tions in the United States and in Europe,Mr. Gould joined Overseas Partners in1990.

He also serves as a Director of ArrowGroup Industries in Wayne and as Chair-man of the Board of Old America Stores,Inc. of Howe, Texas.

Prior to joining Overseas Partners, Mr.Gould was the President and Chief Ex-ecutive Officer of Exxel Container, Inc.,a venture-capital-backed producer of spe-ciality packaging in Somerset.

Previously, he had been a ManagingDirector of Abacus ft Associates, Inc., aprivate venture-capital investment firm,where he primarily oversawaportfolio ofinvestments in companies in the elec-tronics industry.

Mr. Gould aup his been the CorporateDirector. o/tSiraUgic Planning forBurroughi .Corporation, a manufactureror mainframe computer systems sincemerged into Unisys Corporation, and hewas ihe Chairman and Chief ExecutiveOfficer of PlasmaGrahics Corporation inWarrenville, an electronic display manu-facturing' venture jointly owned byBurroughs and by ihe Telex Corporation.

The candidate has served as DeputyAssistant Secretary for Export Develop-ment in the United States Department ofCommerce and as Special Assistant tothe Chairman of the President's Councilof Economic Advisers.

He also served as a special advisor totheGovemorofMichigan'sfinancial cri-sis council in 1981.

Recently, Mr. Gould was the Chair-man of the Ad Hoc Committee on theBudget, which was appointed by FirstWard Councilman Anthony M. LaPortaand evaluated and made substantial rec-ommendations for reform of the town'sbudgeting and financial-management pro-cesses.

The candidate has a Bachelor of ArtsDegree in Economics with High HonorsfromSwarthrnoreCollegeinSwarthmorc,s

Pennsylvania. He was elected to Phi BetaKappa at Swarthmore.

Mr. Gould pursued graduatecoursework in business administration atthe University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.He has resided in Westfield for 10 yearswith is wife, Robin M. Potter, and theyhave a daughter Alexandra Gould, 5.

In declaring his candidacy, Mr. Gouldsaid, "I come to the Board of Educationwith three distinct and, I believe, comple-mentary perspectives. The first is that ofa father. I want to enhance the educationmy daughter can expect over the next 12years in Westfield's public schools. Thesecond is that of ataxpayer. I believe ourproperty taxes have escalated in recentyears because our elected officials haveaccepted, without reflection, the inevita-bility of higher spending in order to de-liver high-quality services. The third isthat of an executive, both in business andgovernment. I understand that business isnot government, but I believe stronglythe one has much to teach the other."

"From Ihe quality of our lives to thevalue of our properties, the schools are atthe heart of this town," he added. "I am aproduct of public schools and expect mydaughter to become one. But 1 have en-countered murmurings of discontentthroughout the town that deserve a re-sponse. Too many of my acquaintancesin Westfield condemn the taxes they payhere. Too many of my acquaintanceshave abandoned the public schools inWestfield for private academies. Toomany of my acquaintances believe thegoverning bodies here are unresponsiveand financially irresponsible. Unlesslheseconcerns are addressed, what is good inthe schools and in the town is in jeopardy.

"From that perspective, I bring anagenda with three elements to the Boardof Education," he said:

"First, our children should acquire inschool a strong foundation in the princi-pal areas of knowledge: Language andcommunications, science and mathemat-ics and study of the world and it's peoples.They should develop strong thinking andanalytical skills, The curriculum shouldchallenge each child to achieve his or herutmost.

"Second, to subject the program ofschool spending to scrutiny against thoseeducational standards. Programs and ser-vices that are not essential must be ques-

tioned. Programs and services that areimportant must be rendered cost effec-tively. Creativity and flexibility will berequired if those choices are not to dam-age Ihe core strengths of our school sys-tem.

"Third, to encourage to Ihe maximumdegree a school system that emphasizes alean overhead structure and provides foraccountability at the lowest possible level.Where we cannot restructure to reducecosts, we must consider sharing resourcesamong schools in the system, look tooutside sourcingor share costs with otherschool districts of the town government.We must be willing to experiment inorder to maintain and enhance the qualityof our schools while minimizing the inef-ficiencies inherent in Westfield1 s systemof neighborhood schools."

The candidate added. "Many will con-tend it is impossible to reconcile high-quality education and neighborhoodschools with fiscal restraint. I believe it ismandatory we do so. Towns such asWestfield wilt be the natural targets forbudget-cutting at the federal and statelevels as fiscal constraints facing thosefunding sources force them to channelmoney to needier locales. Westfield'sschools will be further challenged by thegrowing number of students now enter-ing the system. The residents of West-field spend their working lives in organi-zations that face the challenges of com-petitive restructuring. •

school system. .Mr. Flast has been in the business

field for over 20 years with majorcorporations, including MetropolitanLife and American Express.

In the academic arena, he said, hetaught a graduate course at the NewSchool in New York City, and hasauthored or co-authored six booksonpersonal computers and co-foundeda direct-mail software company.

He graduated from City College oftheCity University of New York anddid graduate studies in business andmanagement information systems atHarvard Business School Im Cam-bridge, Massachusetts.

Mr. Flast served asamemoerof theTechnology Committee that pre-sented a report on the feasibility ofincorporating technology in all as-pects of the curriculum to the boardin November.

"Since our three children will be inthe Westfield Public Schools for thenext 14 years, I would like to partici-pate in the policy-setting activities ofthe board that so critically affect theirlives and those of their fellow stu-dents throughout Westfield," henoted.

"I believe we are trying to use a19th century institution to prepareyoung people for life in the 21st cen-tury," he added.

"The good news is there is increas-ing evidence the outdated values ofthe factory-model school—central-ization, standardization, fixed sched-ules and accountability based on fol-lowing the rules are giving way to thenew values of decentralization, re-spect for diversity, an emphasis onlearning and accountability based onresults. These are issues worth pursu-ing at this time in the Westfield Pub-lic Schools," Mr. Flast said.

"Dr. Mark C. Smith and the boardcan point with pride to many cost-saving initiatives pursued in recentyears, and Dr. Smith and Mrs. Pepperhave represented the district very wellin the Garden State Coalition ofSchools in pursuit of sensible fund-ing solutions for the state and itsdistricts. Nevertheless, with a SchoolBudget to be presented to the votersin April, reducing costs will be onmany people's minds," he said.

"While I have much to learn abouthow and where we spend money, mygeneral attitude is spending moremoney on outdated models is prob-ably foolish, whereas investingmoney in new models and experi-ments at least has the potential ofpaying off in terms of better out-comes at lower cost," the board mem-ber noted.

"Educating to achieve high testscores is not the same thing as edu-cating for understanding.pne of thekey outcome goals of our schools.Rather than asking what per cent goon to advanced education, such ascollege.amoreimportantsetof ques-tions are what per cent of Westfieldstudents entering college require re-medial education and what per centactually finish college," he said.

"In other words, how well are weconverting the potential earners pro-vided to us in Kindergarten into life-long learners by the time they gradu-ate high school. While I do not knowthat we would be disappointed in theresults of such an inquiry, Ido believewe need to begin asking these ques-tions, and not become complacentabout the traditional and less mean-ingful measures mentioned above,the candidate said.

"With 13 per cent of Westfield senrollmentrepresentedbyblack.His-panic, Asian-American and Ameri-can Indian students, the challenge isto view diversity as an opportunityfor all members of the communityand to develop programs that pursuethis opportunity as well as the pro-grams," he noted.

Three Games in HoopsBy DAN MURPHY

Sprually Wrimnfor Thi WtnfirMUwlir

The loss to Union Catholic of ScotchPlains on February 7, was the fifth defeatin a row for the Wcstfield High SchoolBoys' Basketball Team, and it left themat 6-13 on the season.

The Blue Devils' shooting was offearly in the game as they were able toscore only 16 points in the first half.

The Vikings jumped out quickly, ledby point guard Mike Martinho.; Martinho was able to knock down apair of three's early, and Latif McMorrincontributed of f the offensive glass, gettingmany second opportunities.

Union Catholic took a 28-16 half-timelead.

The Devils bounced back in the secondhalf to outscore the township team 26-20in the half, but that was not enough asthey fell 48-42.

Westfield had one of their worstoffensive performances of the season.

Mike Checkett ted the team with eightpoints and Marc Koslowsky and RichJeremiah each had seven.

Martinho and McMorrin each had 18for Union Catholic.

The Devils took on Plainfield onFebruary 5. They had defeated them amonth earlier 66-56 in Plainfield, but thistime the Devils faced a different Cardinalteam.

In their prior meeting the Westfielderswere able to score at will against theCardinals' 1-3-1 zone, and Plainfield didnot exert that much intensity on defense.However, this time Plainfield played thecagers in straight man-to-man, and wereable to challenge a lot of shots.

"They looked like a different team,"commented Koslowsky. "This lime theyplayed tough man-to-man defense andforced us to take tough shots. They alsowere much more physical on the boards."

In the first meeting, the Devils also

were able to take the ball of the defensiveboards and run their break.

However, Plainfield in the latestmatchup, dominated inside and convertedon many second and third chances.

"It seemed like every time they got theball they convened. We couldn't run thebreak and it allowed them to set up theirpress, which slowed down our offense,"stated Koslowsky.

The balanced scoring the cagers had inthe first meeting disappeared as well.

Checkett.who led the Blue Devils againwith 26 points, and Koslowsky, who had15, were the only scorers in double figuresfor the Devils.

Tyequan Taylor had 25 points andBrishara Bryant had 18 for Plainfield.

Earlier in the week the Blue Devilswere outplayed by the Summit Hi I Hoppersin Summit.

The Devils' shoaling was off for mostof the game. They fell hchind by as manyas II in the fourlh quarter beforeKoslowsky sparked a late comeback wilh10 of his 18 poinls in the final period.which cut the lead IO four.

But that was as elo$e as they would gelas Summit was able to connect from thefree-throw line and won hv a final of 53-45.

"We played flat the entire game," saidKoslowsky. "We had open shots butcouldn't hit them. We also played badtransition defense and gave up a lot ofeasy baskets."

Checkett had 14 for the Devils and TajSmith had 15 for Summit.

The Blue Devils played Roselle in thefirst round of the Union CountyTournament last night in Clark.

The Devils had defeated them in ascrimmage at the beginning of the year,but were going into the game as theunderdog.

The meeting lasted approximately90 minutes, the first half of whichwas a presentation to the parents andstudents regarding various optionsand the costs associated with those

options. An example of an optionwould be the location and amount ofi c e t i m e . ' " ' >•> ••'••

The second step is to prcspray thecarpet, especially in traffic areas. Thepie-spray begins to work immediately toloosen stubborn soil and stains, andreduces the lime, effort and subsequentchemicals required by the main cleaningmethod.

Dry methods are popular because theyare relatively simple and quick.

A "dry" compound, slightly moist, isapplied to the carpet either by machine orby sprinkling by hand, and then scrubbedinto the carpet with a machine specificallydesigned for that purpose.

After a waiting, "dwell," period whichvaries from half an hour to half a day, thecarpet is then vacuumed, either with aseparate vacuum or by the scrubbingmachine itself.

There are a variety of wet methods.The preferred method for years wasshampooing, in whichashampoo solutionwas dispensed onto the carpet, and a

rotary machine was used to scrub it in.This was practical, as well, from thestandpoint the same rotary floor machinethat was used for stripping and buffinghard floors could be quickly outfittedwith a shampoo brush and shampoo tank.

Bonnet cleaning continues today to bepopular in large facilities. In this usage, acotton-like bonnet isfittedontothe bottomof a rotary floor machine, and, with theapplication of a water/bonnet-cleansolution, the carpet is "buffed." Thiscleans only the tips of the carpet fibers,but is useful in areas where dailyappearance and quick dry times areimportant — such as in resort hotels.

Extractioncleaning is the most widely-accepted carpet-cleaning method today.It is a deep-cleaning method in which asolution is sprayed into the carpet, andthen vacuumed, extracted, back.

The easiest and most effective way toextract clean involves the use of anextraction-cleaning machine with aspinning brush. The brush works thesolution into the carpet rather than themanual scrubbing associated with astandard, drag, wand.

Extraction machines are designed inone of three types.

The most noticeable is the truck-mount,in which a machine is put into a truck —generally a van. These machines are usedwith long hoses — generally 100 feet ormore — and the better systems generateconsiderable spraying power, pressureand vacuum, "waterlift.

The second type is a portable boxmachine with a hose, which hose, again,on a first-quality system, can be up to andover 100 feet in length.

The third type is a self-containedextractor, which usually contains aspinning brush as well as the spray pumpand the vacuum motor, This machineprovides a compact, simple and efficientmethod of cleaning, especially forhomeowner use as a rental unit.

With all the above extractor methodsaccessories such as specialized wands,upholstery and drapery tools and ceiling-cleaning tools can be also used. Thisallows for considerable versatility fromthe one machine.

The chemicals used in all the abovemethods are, obviously, critical to thedesired result.

Especially in the wet methods, first-quality chemicals not only will quicklyemulsify soil, but, as importantly, willnot leave'a sticky, gummy residue.

A good extraction-chemicalconcentrate, as well, also has a very highdilution ratio, 1 ounce to 128 ounces ofwater, which makes it very cost effective.

Generally speaking, a high-qualitycarpel-cleaning machine is beyond theprice range in which the averagehomeowner wishes to invest.

It therefore becomes sensible to rent agood-quality machine and this, with goodchemicals, will result in a properly-cleaned room, house or office. •

Helpful Hints to PreparePress Releases for The limesA press release should contain the name, address and telephone

number of the publicist, have tlie following essential facts and betypewritten and double-spaced on one side of an 8 1/2-inch by 11-inchsheet.

WHEN the event took place, an exact dale;WHAT it concerned andWHY the event was held, if necessary.The Who means names spelled correctly following this style:—James C. Scolt, Jr., in other words, for a Minn's first name, middle

initial, if he has one, and a last name.— For a woman, supply Mrs. or Miss and give n first nnme, middle

initial, if she has one, and a last name.— Nicknames are used in sports copy only or appear when the full

name is already given.The WHAT means explaining the purpose of a meeting or reporting

what went on. Saving n speech was great means nothing; explainingwhat a speaker said is newsworthy, if it is important.

Don't:— Type all in capital letters.— Expect that your release will appear just as you wrote it.— Have skimpy margins.—Write captions on a photograph; use a separate sheet. Don't staple

pictures.— Use abbreviations or acronyms. Names of organizations, states

and companies should be spelled out in full.All copy should be in our office by Fridays at 4 p.m. For events that

occur over the weekend, press releases should reach us by Mondays at10 a.m. Obituaries will be taken to Tuesday at 5 p.m. All matter is used,of course, as we have time to prepare it properly for publications. Noguarantees are made.
