To The Chronicle:By voting "no" you; are not only

ensuring Garwood's future, but•guaranteeing your children's,your neighbors' and your pocket-book's happiness.

The "no" vote will trigger asecond '..referendum, which will .have a smaller price tag. lancolnSchool will be renovated.Franklin. School will be replaced.The First Aid Squad buildingwon't be destroyed. SecondAvenue won't be dead-ended.Beech Avenue and Locust Avenue

won't be disturbed by a new res-cue squad building nor high den-sity housing... These neighborswill riot be stepped on by the"yote-yes-megaschopl" beast. .

How many fellow taxpayersshould be trampled on just to sat-isfy the "vote:yes" group? I careabout the children, my neighborsand my tax dollars.

High- taxes mean nq one canafford Garwood I'm voting "no."

To The Chronicle:The school, referendum of

March 17 is not a partisan issue.We are writing this as individualresidents • in support of the newschool.; :. . •

The Garwood school boardcannot continue to drop almost athird of a million dollars eachyear, into their aging facilities forrepairs. This is not. forwardthinking .or fiscally responsible'on their part. The board hasacted accordingly by proposing

this referendum. All elected offi-.•rials have" an obligation to becareful.and prudent with taxpay-ers' money. They also must exam-ine all. possible options and pro-vide the best future for the town."Our children are our future" is aphrase commonly used in adver-tising; It is also a truism forGarwood. .

IMPROVING PROSPECTSHomeowners who have invested in

swimming pools for their backyardsshould largely gauge their value on thebasis of how much enjoyment theyderived from swimming in them andrelaxing poolsidc. On average, nation^wide, sellers can usually expect torecover about 60 percent of the. cost ofa pool at the time of resale, The amountthat sellers can expect to recoup fromother home improvements is higher forsome (including the addition ofsccondbathrooms and kitchen/bath remodel-ing), and lower for others. The fact is,however, that homeowners can seldomexpect to recover 100 percent.of thecost of improvements, a necessarypoint to take into account when settingthe asking price for a home.• Some people mistakenly put consid-erable money into repairs and improve-ments before'calling the Realtor to listthe house with the hope that, seen in itsimproved state, the Realtor will affix ahigher value. In tact, you should trustyour real estate professional to adviseyou about which improvements are costeffective and which are wasted invest-ments. If you proceed with repairsbefore you start showing the house,your Realtor will lake the finishedproduct into consideration when estab-lishing market value. For dependableand professional advice, phone JILLGUZMAN REALTY, INC.

HINT: Homeowners should.be wary ofover-improving their homes for theareas in which they arc located.

"Basically, it's riot enoughproperty damage tp houses;

Crowded town buildingsqueezes out TV 35 officeBy SHEA THOMASTHE CHRONICLE :

CRANFORD — TV-35 may befinding a new home in an effortto help save the police depart-ment money

The department has asked thestation to vacate space, in themunicipal building near theCranford Police go that policerecords stored in rented spacemay be moved back to the site..:'••• "It's nothing personal andwe're not unhappy with the jobthey are doing, but we reaUyneed the space," said Police ChiefHarry Wilde. "Several years agostorage was in the basernent, butwas converted to much neededoffice space and the. televisionstation." . . .. The chief noted part of the dif-ficulty in finding enough spacefor the records is due to a higherpower: "State, statutes dictate

how long we keep police records: and right now there is no avail-

able, space in police headquarters. •or the municipaLbuilding."

According to Chief Wilde, the .•department has had to lease stor-age space off the premises andthey would save a. substantialamount of money.

"It's hot an astronomicalamount, but the amount, wespend in these storage fees wouldbe cut and the money could beput to much better use.". "If TV-35 was to relocate to thenew community center we could,reclaim the space," Chief Wildesaid. .• "We are in the crisis stage inour record storage because weare physically out of storage." -

According to Chief Wilde, themain goal at this time is to getthe Community Center built andthen see if there is availablespace for the television station. '

Squad volunteers receive a phonecall, they have to leave from theirhomes then travel to the-stationto pick-up a vehicle.

"It takes about, 10-11 minutesso the chances of survival areless," Officer Chapman said.. The training program for offi-cers, taught by Officer Chapman,was started two years ago andenrollment has doubled from 16to 30, Another positive aspectabout the training as that it's all"in-house" training.

"Officer Chapman is a wonder-ful asset to our departmentbecause he received a greatamount of training and certifica-tion. We don't have to send ourofficers to outside training," saidPolice Chief Harry Wilde.

"This was a great idea becausea police car may be right on thestreet when that call comes in,"Officer Chapman said. "People

purchased five defibrillators,with one donated to the firedepartment, one to the First AidSquad, and three on duty withthe police. The new defibrillatorsare equipped with controls whichprotect against accidental mis-use,, making them safe and easyton use, according to the chief,

"I think you're going to seethem in public places like restau-rants pretty soon," he said."They'll be like fire extinguisherson the wall that someone can justgrab when needed."

Cranford officers have usedthe defibrillators to save severallives, already. Chief Wilde proud-ly described residents appearingbefore the Township Committee.to offer unsolicited praise for theofficers. ,

wpn first placemen the state level,for hjs unique essay .on FortTiconderqga in upstate NewYork. Galling his 600-word essay

"A, View from Down Under," the"A"- student, whose teacher is,.Theresa Sowa, wrote from theperspective ; of the. land thefamous fort was built on.

Citing a condensed version of vthe history of the fort from 1755,the author began by describingwhat the land was like when the

.Indians controlled. it and; thenexplained the building of the fortand the history throughout thepast several hundred years. Heended by citing the peaceful stateof the restored fort today and itspopularity as a tourist attraction. ;

Although quite modest aboutwinning two first-place awards,.Kyle attributed his success to"being creative" and not justviewing the theme as a typicalassignment. : ' '

"I thought about the thingthat was there before the fort aridcame up with the ground it was

: built on," he said..Theresa, whose teacher is

Kathleen Clay, selected FortNiagara to write about. Using thepoint of view of a rock namedFred, ithe seventh grade student

gave a compelling .descriptiorit of '••'».what thfe land wag Uke. before-the *fort was built, who built it -and •?how it was occupied over several .ihundred years.: r -i •;,... ••• ^

Theresa, who is looking fprr-.ward to a career as a cardiologist;or neurologist, is an!-'A studio.'£'•who placed third in last year'slocal essay contest.

Last week, New Jeraeyjrraasit announced several addi-tional trains would'be added to the Raritan Valley Line,includingTadditioiKuVstops4n Granford-and-Gaiwood,——-----

Beginningnejrt month, local commuters will he able towork a little longer and catch the 8:14 train put of Newark.Those working extra late can catch a train in Newark at

I 0 : 0 3 p . m / . ; • : • • ) . ' • ' ] . ; ' • ; • . • , ' / ' ; • . . . . - • ; ; — ; V ' • • ' • \:-\'•••.'.'.;, \ - : . ;

The- added trains increase options for commutersreturning home — the new stops are all evening runs, andhave been added because of comments received in focusgroup meetings with Westfield and Plainfield commutersheld last year •'. ; i

As a' result of the meetings, Westfield commuters canenjoy a direct Newark-Westfield express train at 6:23 p.m:The new schedule also changes; existing express runs,crowding four trains, between 6:03 and 6:55 p.m., insteadof spacing them out over 90 minutes as the trains are cur-rently scheduled.

NJT is also changing the departure times of the com-muters' connecting trains, promising travelers at leastseven minutes.to inake their connectionsinNewark, •

While we're sure commuters will welcome the .addedtrains, thenew schedule is'conspicuous in its' absence ofadded morning trains, The focus group asked for morningtrains as mUch as evening ones', but NJT says, it doesn'thave, the trains or personnel to add trains at that time.

Of course there aren't enough trains -- currently, 28trains head into Penn Station each weekday morning ahd26 trains head west on the Raritan Valley Line. Somehow,N J T i s l o s i n g t w o t r a i n s e v e r y d a y w i t h t h e c u r r e n t s c h e d -u l e . •;. V. •.-...••• •. .•• . .'.••.' • !•. '•.• ";•• ;• • ;." -.'' '•• •• .'• • •'• " ';

Obviously, that is why the new westbound trains, havebeen added - t h e new schedule adds two trains west-bound, and none heading east. This will correct the drainon New Jersey Transit's train and personnel supply.

Why, perhaps in a year or two after ending this erosionon-their supply, NJT will be able to save up enough to addtrains jn the morning that the commuters desperatelywant and need. Of course, that would mean more routesgoing in than coming but again, and soon, NJT would beshort of trains again.

But until then, commuters can enjoy the added servicethey've been seeking.

Letters to the editor

aTo The Chronicle: ;.•• \ ; ,'..:' •//..:. . \ v .-.. V'^'v-V;-• Crahford is a great town and I don't mind paying'

-taxes. I believe that ••' the township admjnigtratprdoes a very effective-job and should be cWnmended.

But could somebody tell me Where" theRepublican Township Committee made tough deci-sions .arid sacrifices to keep taxes in line? The U.S.Congress, President Clinton and Gov. Whitman panall cut taxes. Why can't the township act in a simi-.lar fashion arid cut taxes? : ' V

And what about the school budget? Who believesthat they are tightening their belts and making thetough decisions? When was the last time that yousaw the superintendent (of schools) conduct a call-in show about the budget or seek community sup- :portfor the school budget?

When I called the superintendent of schools for

school budget.Cranford last week, it.was like calling! the Wizard-ofOz. How dare I! Except for her appearing at the'school board meeting,, she is rarelysseh,. _- ;.

l_ii Qrtfejwould hope, that the superintendent wouldbe more community friendly especially when push-ing through tax increases. Because she does nottake calls, from Residents, I appeal to her throughThe Chronicle, to please consider a community

. forum to discuss the budget. ;'The forum would also enable the community to

understand and appreciate all of the issuesinvolved with the budget; If no one attends (highlyunlikely), then that should be fine. If there is dis-sension, then all the better. But please do some-thing! ' '•• . '•• • ••

Contact legislators with waste h a ^•To The Chronicle: ..

T h i s is a quote from an article in a dailynews-.'paper by Freeholder Daniel Sullivan; "In Deoember-the Union County incinerator lowered its tippingfee for private haulers from $83.05 to. $50 a ton."Sullivan, said the private haulers should pass onthese savings to the homeowners of BerkeleyHeights, Clark, Cranford, Fanwood, Mountainside,Scotch Plains and Westfield.

According to Sullivan, the savings shouldamount to $3.25 to $4.50 in their monthly bills. Ijust received my monthly bill, and the saving was.only 74 cents. My monthly, bill was reduced from.$27.24 to $26.60. This amounts to each pickup ofmy garbage costingme $3.05,which ig $318 a year.

I have written a letter to Assemblyman RichardH. Bagger at 203 Elm St., Westfield, N.J. 07090,

phone (908) 232-3673, explaining this. It would be agood idea if each homeowner called Mr. Bagger andgave his secretary the name of their hauler and theamount of their reduction. As you should know bynow, you have no real way to shop around andchoose the best priced hauler, Your only recourse isto try and get our.elected officials to Kelp us.

• There are multiple haulers in each town, and, ifmany residents call Bagger's office, with the nameof their hauler and now much of the reduction is intheir bill, he will have the information he needs topossibly force the haulers to give the proper reduc-tion in rates. Please, don't wait for George to do it.It's a local call, and it only takes a minute. So lookat your bill and call! ' : '.

Local courts lead in providing defendersTo The Chronicle:

A significant event affecting all of the municipalcourts in Union County will occur on March 23. Onthat date, the Legislature will determine that everymunicipal court in the state would be required toprovide a municipal public defender to representdefendants who are found to be indigent andunable to retain their own attorney, yet because ofthe nature of the case entitled to such representart i o n . ' • ' . .

Municipalities are able to impose a modest feeupon this category of litigants, creating a fund fromwhich their public defenders ca be compensated.. I am very pleased to report that even before this

date, all of the municipal courts in Union County ,

Let's return to paper ballots

already provide for public defenders and have doneso for many years. This is a recognition by our offi-cials of the significant constitutional requirementof. one's right to counsel, and their obligation to seeit is satisfied., : . . .

We cannot loser sight, of the fact that until thiscould be achieved, the lawyers of the. county will-ingly fulfilled their, obligation to accept assign-ments to represent indigent. defendants, demon-strating a high degree of professionalism anddeserving of our thanks.. .

Edward Beglin Jr.Assignment Judge,

Superior Court

To The Chronicle:Millions of American soldiers have fought and

died to protect bur right to free and fair elections.Union County is currently considering the use of

computerized voting machines that can be pro-grammed to predetermine the outcome of elections.

Every independent vote fraud investigator whohas written publicly on the subject believes that theoverwhelming majority of US. elections are unveri-fiable because computerized voting machines can

be manipulated. .The answer is the elimination of poll workers

FRANK J.FESTA Jr.Union County Chairman,

New Jersey Conservative PartyScotch Plains

Congressman supports 'scrap the tax' plansTo The Chronicle:

Everywhere I travel in our state people areexpressing anger and frustration with the currentsystem of taxing Americans — and for good reason.Just look at the facts:

• The tax code is impossible complex. With 475 dif-ferent IRS forms to choose from, it takes the aver-age family more than 12 hours to fill out their taxreturn. Taxpayers are so afraid of making a mis-take on their tax returns, 60 percent now hire a pro-fession to do the job.

• The tax code is full of loopholes written to bene-fit powerful special interests at the expense ofhard-working families. There's an army of lobbyists— more than 67,000 strong — working every day inWashington to preserve and expand the tax loop-holes won by the special interests.

• It's costing you a fortune to enforce the tax code.American taxpayers and businesses spend $300 bil-lion a year just to comply with the current system.

I recently sent a survey on the tax system to myconstituents. The response has been so overwhelm-ing that we still haven't finished tallying all theresults. But the preliminary numbers leave nodoubt — taxpayers are demanding a new, simplerand fairer tax system.

In Washington, a movement is growing-to scrapthe current tax code. I am one of 127 House mem-bers on both sides of the political aisle who havejoined in co-sponsoring legislation that would abol-ish the current tax code by Dec. 31, 2001. Congress

would then have more than three years to engagein a national debate over tax reform and reach aconsensus on implementing anew system that'ssimple, fair and honest.

While scrapping the tax code may be popular inNew Jersey and in communities across America, inWashington the special interests are prepared'tomount an all-out campaign to preserve the currentsystem with all its loopholes.

If tax reform is to become a reality, taxpayersacross the country must stand up and demandchange.

Here in New Jersey, we have an opportunity tolead a national movement to scrap the tax. Threestate legislators — Senator Norm Robertson andAssemblymen George Geist and Steve Corodemus— have proposed to bring the issue before voters inthe November election. Their legislation would askvoters to approve a ballot question that urgesCongress to abolish the current tax system anddevelop a new system that's simple and fair.

The support of New Jersey voters would go a longway toward driving the issue througtrGtmgress. Itcan give members of Congress the resolvS to standup to the special interests, abolish the current taxsystem and begin exploring a simpler and fairerway to finance the essential services of the federalgovernment.

commentary

„ lie river in Cranford does> have the capacity to handle^y storm event that mother

: Mature unleashes within the,watershed. If this were true, the

-Si^ide-Drive-neighberhood—Would not be in a flood plain,similar to other locationsthroughout our township. Thecapacity of the main channel of

t h e river was enhanced during, Othe^970s through widening,

0^e§pening and channel realign->m^nt. When this was accom-

pJHsh,ed, property was acquired•ficoxa private property owners'tiling Crescent Place andisH^mpton Road. When stormrdata from the 1970s is reviewedit is clear that improvementswere realized from these efforts.

"ji.^It is also important ttfmain-. 'tain the aesthetic qualities that-the River Maintenance

•aiid whom we commend-fornheir commitment and contin-

'y&d, participation. This group

of a Citizens Committee, con- way, this amount is equivalentsisting of residents whose prop- to removing 2fi inches of silterties were affected and whoseproperties are within the floodplain of the Rahway River. Thiscommittee has been meeting ona regular basis to discuss activi-ties and plans to improve cur-rent river conditions and hassupported the following efforts:

* The township engineer hascontacted the Army Corps ofV whn Vipvp roapf>ndpdto our request for assistance inreviewing potential directions toimprove the capacity to handlewater during storms.

* Though originally initiatedsome six years ago by MaureenOgden of Maplewood, with thehelp of current state officials(Assemblymen Richard Baggerand Alan Augustine), anIntergovernmental CooperationCommittee has been formedwhich includes all municipali-ties within the Rahway Riverwatershed. This group will workto develop long-term globalstrategies to increase the beautyand aesthetics and value of theriver.

* With full support/rom ourassemblymen, we now.have apermit that allows ust at our

from the river bottom at anaverage width of 50 feet fromHansel's Dam to the BalmiereParkway foot bridge. With thiswork, over the last two yearsthe Township Committee hasdemonstrated a commitment tothe river by bringing desiltingback.

* After a careful review and-critique-of-proposalMhe-town-—ship recently awarded a con-tract to Killam Associates toperform a feasiblity study forvarious flood control measureswhich could benefit not only theRiverside Drive neighborhoodbut other areas of the townshipthat are affected by •flooding.

However, it must be under-stood that these areas are with-in the flood plain of the RahwayRiver and that the flood plain,as currently delineated, will notchange. It is also important tonote that it is cost prohibitive todesign improvements for everystorm event that may everoccur. Improvements in one areawill not be made if thatimprovement adversely affectsanother area. When the feasibil-ity-study is presented, the cost

;h4js provided many hours of" discretion and with proper noti-^ of improvements must be.work thorough their devoted

.volunteers and they are a won-(j$rfiil resource to the communi-

ough the removal of^ JgYi\jfater-borne debris may not'reduce flooding with the same•,ejgecj; of a major capital project,ritolQes give residents and othersvpwof that the township and its[citizens care about the river. An

/example that many of bur sur--jrounding communities could fol-low to add even more to ourlocal efforts. '<;! Following the July 1997storm, I initiated the formation

~fication, to desilt the river fromSept. 1 to-March 1. This is incontrast-to the previouslyapproved 30 day permit periodand gives the township greaterflexibility to perform these func-tions with township Departmentof Engineering and PublicWorks staff and at significantcost savings to our residents. :With this permit in place, w6have just completed desiltingwhereby more than 2,000 cubicyards of silt were, removed from,the channel in areas identifiedto be problematic. Put another

weighed against other optionsthat include owner intiatedactivities that may be partiallyfunded by the federal govern-ment. Discussions of theseoptions will include briefings toour Citizens Committee by our"township engineer arid perhapsother individuals.

River maintenance effortshave included:

^Regular inspection of theflap gates and rising stem gatesat outfalls along the river, Areplacement gate was installedat Crescent Place. The riprap

outfall at Henley Avenue waBreshaped to permit proper oper-ation of the flap gates. Flapgates are also being inspectedafter any major storm event andif damaged, repairs will bemade.

* We are also actively lookingat reducing environmental risksto the river from several sani-tary sewer crossings within thetownship that cross the riverand the three brooks. Thisspring we will be performinginternal television inspections ofthese crossings. Any crossingthat shows evidence of fatigueor ciackiiig will-be slip^lined(place a new liner in the pipe)thus preventing potential leak-age of raw sewerage and its sub-sequent entering into the river.

* The long planned OrchardBrook improvement project is initsjinal design phase and NewJersey Department ofEnvironmental Protection per-mitting process set to beginsoon

/ Finally, though not a floodimprovement project, replace-ment of the Sperry Park reten-tion wall that originated in 1991is under design and work couldstart later this year or by early1999.

My thanks to all who share a- love and concern for the Railway

RiVer and the importance thisriver has, to Cranford and qur ^history. Today, every community -needs to balance availableresources to meet the needs ofthe community in many differ-ent areas. However, the riverhas been with us for 126 years-and it is. showing no signs pfjlis-.appearance. I can assure youthat it will continue to receivethe focus and attention of thiscommissioner and theDepartment of Engineering and

. Public Works.

J. was riding down Orange'Avenue from Kenilworth towardCranford and passed HappyDays School. My children wentthere years ago and I wondered ifit was still run by the same peo-ple, Tama and Jay Bruder. I likedthe fact that there was a man atthe school so the children had amale role model on hand. I wascurious who ran i t now.

I called and talked to JayBruder Jr., who now works therefulltime. His dad and mom stillare directors, he said. In fact, his

mom runs the music program,which includes having the chil-

: dren sing in four languages.The school has been- family-

run for 38 years. A lot haschanged'.. since my children wentto school at Happy Days. Theynow have hands-on computersfor the'children to. use. They arecertified by the New JerseyDepartment of Education, andoffer kindergarten as well as anafter-school program and sum-mer camp. Some things don'tchange and that is one of thebeauties of Cranford.

Further down Orange Avenuetoward town is Cindy Smith'shouse where my girls all went fordance lessons. Cindy now has astudio in Garwood and still turnsout great dancers; As for Cindyand her husband Tony, they arecontinually donating their timeto Cranford projects. Right nowthey are working on the play"AnythingGoes".'.'." '

Terri Brisco is in Florida fortwo weeks babysitting her grand-children while' her son and hiswife, look for a new home.. Theyare possibly relocating to North

OCCUPYING FORCESIt would be a shame fora deal that

benefits both buyer and seller to fallapart because of. a disagreement overoccupancy. As with other aspects of thesale, compromise niust come into play.If this means the seller must move outof tho house earlier than expected, itmay involve moving into a motel orrental unit! The buyers may be willing10 accept rent from the seller if theyhave the flexibility to wait as the sellerprepares to move. It is said that ''timingis everything in life,"' arid real estatetransactions arc no exception. For both,the buyers' and sellers', best interests,each party must be prepared to do what11 takes to make a smooth transition ofoccupancy.' . '

If you are in a quandry over how tobargain for the occupancy provisionsyou need, let your Realtor advise you.Undoubtedly,, he or she has seen prob-lems arise before over occupancy issuesand has the finesse to iron out the smallsticky problems that pop up as effi-ciently as he or she brokered the mainpar| of the deal. When potential ''dealbreakers" threaten, that's when thetraining and experience of your Realtorwill prove to be invaluable. For depend-able and professional advice, phone theexperienced and resourceful Realtors atJILL GUZMAN REALTY, INC.

HINT: If a question over occupancyarises, sellers should be willing to putup with a little inconvenience in order

meet their long-term goals.

. and attended school; Although: this particular type of music hadjte origins in the rural South andmight seem a little out of place inthis area, Mr. DiPaolo, said thestyle he came to love has beenused by Eric Clapton.

The earliest influences of Mr.DiPaolo included country blues,early jazz"ahd pop standardsfrom the 1920s and 1940s. Muchof what he came to emulate camefrom Mississippi John Hurt,Leadbeliy, Willie McTell, BlindBlake, Robert Johnson, RayCharles, Etta James and RyCooder. Their original tunes,dealing with women, whisky,good and bad times, range fromthe heartfelt to the bawdy.

Following the genre, Mr.DiPaolo found inspiration in hisOwn life, writing his first song at19. He eventually realized themost sincere and touching songswere real-life experiences.

"I used to listen to this musicand wonder where they got id<3asfor songs," he said.

Along the way he developedconsiderable talent for playing abass guitar with his thumb andthe melody with his fingers^

..: CRANFORD — Much of the .hype about the Internet stressesnew technology's ability;to con-;

nect people around the world. VBut a new program, designed

by Cranford teacher ChristinaVan Woert is Connecting peoplearound Cranford. : •"

Ms. Van Woert applied forand received an award from theNew Jersey Department ofEducation Technology Literacy .grant program. .

With the proceeds from thegrant, Ms. Van Woert's program .'.has connected eight Cranfordpublic schools, St. Michael'sSchool, Solomon .SchechterSchool,, the Cranford Public ••.Library, Granford's municipalofficials and ; residents ofCranford Health and ExtendedCare. . : . ' . -

Students in the schools arenow. sending each other e-mailmessages, with sixth-grade stu-dents at Orange Avenue andHillside Schools correspondingwith younger students atSolomon Schechter School, andpreparing to join a book discus-sion group of "The Diary of AnneFrank" with the residents atCranford Health and ExtendedCare. .

The grant .paid for the neces-sary computer equipment*Internet connections, trainingfor the computer-neophytes and;copies of books for discussions.According to the coordinatorsoutside of the school district, thegrant is helping attract moreinterest in the use of computers,

"It's a chance for them to getsome experience with comput-ers — something they're not toofamiliar with," Janine Gilman,

assistant administrator atCranford Health, said, "Butthey're all really anxious to usethem." . . • • " • •

The state guidelines for thegrants requires programs todevelop Websites, establish e-mail addresses' and extend theaccess to the technology to othermembers of the community. TheCranford program may becomea model by connecting studentsfrom all schools in town witheach other, seniors and townofficials.

Susan Alston's third-gradeclass at Solomon SchechterSchool will use the technology toengage Cranford Mayor WallyShackell in a live chat to finisha project they started last fall.

After the electronic conversa'tion, the students will complete"Cranford through Kids Eyes," abrochure they started after abus tour through town with for-mer-Mayor Robert Hoeffier. .

In addition.to the third-gradeclass, fifth and sixth-grade stu-dents are e-mailing their coun-terparts at Hillside School andOrange Avenue in an exchangeof information.

"Many of my students don'tlive in Cranford,.so they'll havea chance to ask other studentsabout the town," teacher JaniceNaldi said.

Ms. Naldi said fifth-gradestudents are establishing pen-pals with Orange Avenue Schoolsixth-graders,. who can offer

advise for the younger students.Other students will be con-

sulting with public school stu-dents with questions onJudaism as they learn about thereligion in their studies.

Meanwhile, students willalso enjoy live chats withTownship Administrator JohnLaezza and Director ofRecreation and Parks FrankD'Antonio.

Others will consult withCranford High School studentson writing projects, while e-mailing friends at St. Michael'sSchool, and researching refer-ence materials at CranfordPublic Library.

Ms. Van Woert said when sheinitially contacted the various

schools and groups for the pro-ject in January, "everyoneseemed quite excited about it,"and their enthusiasm has hard-ly diminished since the projectbegan.

Over at Cranford Health andExtended Care, Ms. Gilman saidthe residents are anxiouslyawaiting the chance to meet thestudents on the computers todiscuss "The Diary of AnneFrank."

"I had one resident ask me ifshe didn't understand some-thing in the book if she couldask the students," Ms, Gilmansaid.

Which proves the best part ofthe program may be the two-way communication it allows.

rescheduled. GARWOOD — The Garwood

Board of Education approved asecond school referendum votefor May, reducing the estimatedcost of a new school by about$300,000. *

The referendum will seekabout $10,900,000 for a newschool, built on the same locationand with the same floor plan as:

the first referendum.Last week, voters turned down

an $11.2 million referendum byjust 24.votes'.— 749 against to725 in favor.

"The structural reinforcement•'.that was planned for the thirdfloor in case we need to build onwas removed," board BusinessAdministrator Peter Caprio said.Mr. Caprio said the referendum'sprojected legal expenses werealso.reduced.

The board met Wednesdayevening to finalize the amountsof the referendum, and to deter-mine whether or not a land.swapwith the First Aid Squad will besought.

Many residents objected to the.first referendum's plan to relo-cate the First Aid Squad, notingthe historic nature of the Squad's.building, although First Aidmembers have "indicated theyWanted a new building.

Referendum proponents saythe new school is necessarybecause the existing buildingsneed too much repair to keepthem safe.

The board is. also working onfinalizing plans for the 1998-99school budget.

Currently, the budget isexpected to add about $67,799 tothe amount collected throughproperty taxes, adding $39 peryear to the tax bill of a propertybill for 41 home assessed at$100,000.

"That's a 0.093 percentincrease in the amount to be col-lected," Mr. Oaprio said.

He added the budget willreflect the elimination of the dis-trict's debt, which was paid off in1997.

Hair salon project hopes to cut homlessness as well as hairBy CHERYLHEHLCHRONICLE CORRESPONDENT

CRANFORD - If you need ahaircut, stop in at the ManeEvent on North Union Avenuefrom noon-5 p.m. Sunday when acut-a-thon will benefit ProjectHome.

For just $10 you can get agreat cut and help out townshipresidents who have fallen onhard times.

Salon owner Penny Schmaldecided the cut-a-thon was justabout the best way she could givesomething back to the communi-ty she calls home.

The decision came easily whoncustomer Caroline Capone toldMrs. Schmal about Project Home,started by Cranford Family Care10 years ago to help residentswith rent or mortgage paymentswhen job or financial problemsthreaten to leave them homeless.

"I really just wanted to dosomething charitable for a longtime," said Mrs. Schmal, who hasworked at the. Mane Event since1980 and owned the salon since1992.

After talking to1 her staff,which wholeheartedly embracedthe idea and volunteered its time/she contacted Cranford FamilyCare Director Kathy Willis, whowas thrilled to hear the emptycoffers of Project Home would begetting home.

"This is an answer to prayer,"said Mrs. Willis. "We have beenout o£ money for Project Home forthe last two months."

The director said CranfordFamily Care cannot raise fundson its own and is completelydependent on donations and helpfrom projects such as the cut-a-thon.

Those who get their hair cutSunday will be helping families,

seniors and others who neyerthought they would be faced withsuch dire circumstances as beinghomeless.

Mrs. Willis knows that but forthe grace of God anyone inCranford could find themselvesin the same place.

One. broadcasting executive,who lost his job due to downsiz-ing, lived on unemployment andsavings while he sought employ-ment, never thinking there wouldbe a time when he would not beable to pay the rent. Thanks toProject Home he was ablo to paythe rent until a new job camethrough.

According to Mrs. Willis, manyof the people Project Home hashelped become benefactors whenthey get back on their foot again.

These are just.a few of the peo-ple who come to her for help, butthere are many others. Thanks toProject Home they find the help

they need.Unfortunately, though, for the

past several months Mrs. Willishafl had to "borrow from Peter topay. Paul" in order to'help thosein need. But in the business ofhelping people, she has come tolearn, there are angels every-where.

She said it was the first timeanyone held a cut-a-thon to bene-fit Project Home and she was"very grateful" for Mrs. Schmal'shelp and concern.

For those worried about goingput with a wet head, there will bedryers for patrons to sit underbefore leaving. Customers willget a great shampoo and cut,though, and save money over the$16 the salon normally charges.

"This is about giving some-thing back to the community," thesalon owner said, "and I can'tthink of a better place thanProject Home."
