Charity event lures chief back to the ringBy Harry Trumboreof The Item

November 17, 1972. A crowded auditorium in Hudson County. Two fighters and a referee stand in the middle o f a boxing ring.

Paul Boegershausen’s last fight was almost 29 years ago. but he says, "It seems like yesterday."

He had just finished fighting Joe Davis from Topeka, Kan., and thought he was about to win a decision. But when the referee raised Davis's hand, the 29-year- old Boegershausen thought, "It's time to give it up "

Now, 29 years later, Boegershausen, the township's police chief since 1995, is training for a return to the ring. He's slated to face another Davis, Davis Scott, a corrections officer from the Bay- side state prison facility, in a charity hoxing tournament Friday, May 18, at 7:30 p.m. at the Morristown High School gymnasium.

Boegershausen said he caught the boxing bug in 1959 when, as a kid, he traveled over to Chatham Township to watch Floyd Paterson train for his first bout with Igemar Johansson.

Hie right to hold worship services in a private residence may have the backing of the U.S. Constitution, but m Millburn Township apparently it's not so easily done.

Rabbi Mendel Bogomilsky. a seven-year resident o f 437 Bodwell Terrace, has been holding services in his home since 1995, and appeared before the Planning Board May 2 to present his site plan application to operate The Chai Center as a formal house of worship at his residence.

The rabbi is seeking a conditional use variance because the proposal center sits on three lots of land at the corner of Bodwell Terrace and M ill burn Avenue that fall far short of the three acres required for a house of worship in a residential neighborhood.

Ills application was met by open resistance from residents on Bodwell Terrace who were heard—as were congregants of the center-—during the public session of the informal hear mg. At issue were the practicalities of having a house of worship situated within a neighborhood. Topics such as parking, the impact of enhanced traffic on safety, and general tears of damaging the "character" of the neighborhood were expressed.

The board, in turn, raised a few concerns of its own. Eventually vot ing not to recommend favorably the application to the Zoning Board, the Planning Board cited the township's Master Plan, adopted in 1997, as a significant stumbling bliK’k to Mr. Bogomilsky's aspirations.

Leading the charge against approval, Mayor Thomas McDermott said the Master Plan "advocates the protection of the character of established neighborhixxls" such as Bod- wen Terrace. He said having lived in the township all his life, he fell "single family homes in the R-6 /one should be preserved and protected." These and other issues, such as safety and traffic concerns, were raised by the other members o f the hoard.

The Master Plan accounts for two major impediments to the rabbi's

Police advise limits for party seasonBy Harry Trumboreof The Item

Weathermen see only four seasons in their line of work, but as spring turns to summer, a fifth season emerges in the eyes o f the young— the party season.

According to Detective Edward de la Fuente, assigned to the juvenile bureau of the M illburn Police Department, the annual number of out-of-control parties in the township is not large, hut the consequences of such parties can be serious.

“There are four to six big parties a year, big enough to spill out into yards," he told The Item last week.

Boyle, Daly promoted to Millburn fire captainsBy Anne L. Malyskao f The Item

M illburn firefighters James M. Boyle and Shawn P. Daly were sworn in May I as captains on the M illburn Fire Department.

Both men were among the 11 firefighters who passed a two-part c iv il service exam administered by the state department of personnel, said fire Chief Kenneth Sachse. The exam, taken by 24 Millburn firefighters, included a written part Sept. 30 and an oral test Nov. 27.

The chief then interviewed the top four scorers, he said. Mr. Boyle and Mr. Daly, who were the top two scorers, were then selected to f ill the two vacant positions for captain. which marks the first promotion after serving as a firefighter.

Mr. Boyle, a 13-year veteran, has received valor awards from St. Barnabas Medical Center and the Fireman's Mutual Benevolence Association, the chief read during the swearing-in ceremony. He has received commendations from fo rmer Gov. Christine Whitman, fo rmer mayor Elaine Becker and the American Legion after he rescued a 21-year-old unconscious man from the second floor o f a burning building Jan. 25, 1997.

He has also been commended by Mayor Thomas C. McDermott for bravery and heroism, and helped implement the annual M illburn Fire Department open house event.

appear in the public record because of privacy restrictions regarding the reporting o f juvenile crime.

One recent township party involved a number of underage drinkers and was treated as a juvenile matter; however, a 19-year-old resident of the house where the party occurred was charged as an adult with serving alcohol to minors.

Mr. de la Fuente said young peo pic, especially high school students, must remember that once they turn 18, they are considered adults. He added the presence of drugs at a party, particularly if openly avail able, sets up the host or hostess for even harsher charges regarding drug possession and distribution.

“The Millburn Police Department has zero tolerance for underage pos- session of alcohol," said Detective Sgt. Robert Levine.

When police respond to a call, Mr. Levine said, their overriding priority “ is to make sure everyone’s safe."

How a police officer responds to a complain! is often a judgement call. Mr. de la Fuente said. If a young person opens the door and reports his or her parents are not home and the officer suspects underage drinking or drug use is taking place, he can enter the residence if he leels someone is at risk. At the same time, however, the officer risks jeopardizing any case that may result from his search.

“Our biggest concern is to make sure everything's okay," he said. "I don't want to be the one to say ‘everything’s okay’ and leave while someone’s unconscious inside.”

When a young person opens the door and drinking is visibly going on, the officer can enter the residence and detain partygoers while assess ing the situation.

Mr. de la Fuente said juveniles

chargee) with underage drinking can he compelled to appear before the townships Juvenile Conference Committee, which can impose penal ties such as community service. Per sons 18 years ol age or older charged with supplying alcohol to minors may face court appearances and si/, able lines or community service.

More importantly, M r de la Fuente asks teenagers to considei what happens if a friend has an acci dent, either in the home or on the road.

Word about parlies, even small parties, spreads quickly, the detective cautioned. "The word spreads and you have 80 people on yom front lawn." he said and urged young peo pie who fear an impending crisis to contact the police

"I would let the police know," he said, adding a visible police pres ence—cruising by the residence with a patrol car. for instance can be easily maintained in the area

When parents are away, he sug gests young people stay at a friend s house. He suggested parents "tell them (your children), bring what you need because you re not coming back home.' I've seen that happen " He pointed out going back to an empty house to share a p i//a and watch a movie has often proved too templing an opportunity lor spin ol the inonient partying.

Above all, he said, both parents and children should be honest with each other regarding the very real consequences of teen parties I le said "the sky's the lim it" in penalties resulting from civil litigation.

"It s important for parents to discuss the problem with their chil dren," stressed Mr. de la Fuente, "because ultimately they, the parents, are responsible "

By Anne L. Malyskaof The Item

The wait continues for township resident and attorney Robert S. Bur- rick, who faces a possible hearing in the next few months on charges of fund misuse and misappropriation, brought against him by the state Office o f Attorney Ethics.

The charges, tiled in January and reportedly brought to the state s attention by Mr. Burrick's former law firm of Pitney, Hardin, Kipp and Szuch, LLP, allege that he approved payments to clients using money from other, unrelated clients’ accounts w'ithout the proper authority.

drawn from client trust funds and deposited them into two different accounts for the Millburn Soccer Club, for which he served as treasurer from January 1998 to February 1999. In addition, it states he drew upon club funds “ for personal and other uses," including payments to his American Express bill, personal bank account and the law firm.

Rick Keating, president of the private, non-profit organization with approximately 350 members, ranging in age from approximately 7 years old through high school age, would not comment.

According to Nino Coviello, attorney for the dub at the time, any issues between Mr. Burrick and the soccer club have been put behind them. A settlement reached a few years ago among the dub, Mr. Burrick, the their respective attorneys, however, prohibits any of them from discussing the matter.

"There was an issue," Mr. Coviello said. "The issue was resolved between the two parties, and they went their separate ways."

Mr. Burrick’s wife Karen referred all questions to their attorney, Justin Walder, who agreed the issue with the club had been settled.

"Two years ago, the issues between the soccer club and Mr. Burrick were amicably resolved," he stated.

Through Mr. Walder, Mr Burrick filed in March a response the charges by the attorney ethics office.

The response states that in some instances payment made to one client from another’s account was "an honest mistake,” noting that throughout dealing with particular clients, Mr. Burrick signed many checks and neither sought nor received any personal benefit from any mistakes that may have occurred.

According to Mr. Walder, certain checks were erroneously issued to people who were owed money, and were released by the Pitney law firm. In addition, he said writing and authorizing checks involved certain internal

procedures requiring approval by the firm's accounting department and as well as back up support.

“ It’s clear there were good faith mistakes," Mr. Walder said. They may even have been careless mistakes."

The errors, Mr. Walder stated, were "nothing but an honest mistake at the level of accounting review and a personal level. Payments were made to clients of the firm, none of whom said they were missing or lost any money. Mr. Walder said. "What is not in dispute is that no one suffered any loss and there was no personal gain of an)' sort."

In the charge involving the Millburn Soccer Club, Mr. Burrick s response states that he "expended substantial sums o f personal funds on behalf ot Millburn Soccer Club for expenses incurred relating to Millburn Soccer Club activities," including at the start of his service as treasurer, providing $2,500 o f jrersonal funds to cover an imbalance and shortfall.

It also states that he used personal funds to cover charges at T he Racquets Club of Short Hills tor club board meetings as well as used personal funds to pay for meals tor soccer club managers and volunteers, referees fees, reimbursement to managers, tournament related fees, cash boxes and trays, and other equipment in support o f the program.

The response also states that, for the most part, the club funds in question were reimbursements of money Mr. Burrick expended personally, or

was used to cover legal fees. In addition, Mr. Walder said. Mr. Burrick did not need an)' funds to pay an Aniex bill,” Mr. Walder slated. "He was and is financially well respected and a successful attorney.

No civil or criminal complaints have been tiled against lus client. Mr. Walder said.

Mr. Burrick. however, may face a hearing before a special ethics mastei, said David E. Johnson, director of the state Office of Attorney Ethics. Prior to the hearing, the special master can hold pre-trial conferences with the two attorneys. I f the two parties involved reach some type of understanding, they can recommend to a disciplinary review board an agreed upon disciplinary action, which is subject to review.

This situation, however, is "more the exception than the rule," Mr. Johnson said. In most cases, a hearing is held. The hearing itself is similar to a trial, and at the end of it the special ethics master reaches a decision, reflected in a report for the office's disciplinary review hoard.

A hearing date has not been set. however, and may not be for at least a couple of months. Mr. Johnson said. In the meantime, the charges are taking a toll on Mr. Burrick and his family, who, according to Mr. Walder. have received anonymous, "mean- spirited" letters making "disparaging comments." In addition, he said, “ there is evidence to indicate that one particular individual has sought to motivate these things."

OPINIONWinds of change

No matter what the hue and cry during the recent redrawing of legislative districts, and the ensuing fight among Democratic and Republican parties, what it all has come down to is politics.

As the 2000 census figures came in, many waited with high hopes that, despite the changing size and constitution of local populations, we would see little change in our solid 21st District representation.

However, legislative boundaries had to be modified. Populations shrank in some areas, and grew in others. In short, they changed. And each of New Jersey’s 40 legislative districts, including our own 21st, has been redrawn to represent an equal portion of the state’s population.

Constituents within the 21st District probably grew accustomed over the years to the faces of our local representatives, former Sen. C. Louis Bassano, Assemblyman (now state Senator) Kevin O’Toole and Assemblyman Joel Weingarten. We also were fairly pleased with our district neighbors, including several municipalities in Essex County and a handful from Union.

The new map, however, has brought with it change. Approved last month by a reapportionment commission, it has withstood Republican challenges and may still face an appeal in the Supreme Court. But with primaries coming June 26, the districts, at least for this election cycle, seem to be set.

And alas, our hope to maintain the status quo in the 21st District was fleeting. The newly drawn districts represent a disappointment at best, and we are forced to say goodbye to the familiar comforts our old district had afforded us.

Our fellow Essex County municipalities, including Livingston, Caldwell, Verona, Roseland, Essex Fells and North Caldwell are assigned to other districts. Mr. O’Toole will be leaving us for the 40th district, which includes his hometown, and former 21st District municipality, Cedar Grove.

We have said good bye to Mr. Bassano, who, in what he claims to be an unrelated move, accepted a position with the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority.

Finally, and perhaps in the most disappointing turn of events, we await the fate of Mr. Weingarten. Because of the new district apportionments, Essex County’s role in the 21st District has been all but eliminated, leaving Millburn as the county’s remaining municipality within district borders.

While Mr. Weingarten has received the endorsement of Essex County Republicans, the weight of the district now rests in Union County, whose Republican Committee officials chose to endorse their favorites, abandoning someone who has offered his constituents nothing but solid service.

It is a true shame that politics have prevented such a qualified candidate as Mr. Weingarten from receiving deserved endorsements from all county committees within his district that adopt that practice. Rather, it seems respective county committees nearly tripped over themselves at the opportunity to further the political careers of their own.

These officials, unfortunately, clearly have lost sight of the true meaning behind elected office: strong, fair representation, something Mr. Weingarten, a township native, has dutifully provided his hometown and entire district during his tenure as a Township Committeeman and our current assemblyman.

When the primary election in June is complete, who will be the true winners and losers?

Letters to the editor

Topics o f concern to readersBest wishes

Editor, The Item:This township and its residents

have benefited greatly from the service o f Assemblyman Joel Weingarten (R-21) for many years. Now it appears that in typical political fashion. he is to be eliminated from the ballot. Let us hope that this shortsightedness, to say nothing o f injustice, w ill not dampen Mr. Wein- garten’s spirit, and that we may look forward to his return to government service in the near future. Until then, I'm certain I speak for most o f the community in extending our best wishes to Joel in any new endeavor.

Birth control doesn’t work

Editor. The Item:It doesn’t matter whether those

who oppose controlled deer hunts have 300 or 3 million residents who agree with them. It doesn’t alter the facts o f reality any.

Most deer fertility control research has been conducted using captive individuals. Most wildlife biologists agree fertility control is useful only with small, isolated herds. Currently no fertility control methods can be applied to urban deer without special permits from the FDA. The FDA has neither approved nor registered any fertility control methods for use in free-ranging white-tailed deer.

Computer simulations show the

time required for a deer population to be lowered by fertility control may take live to 20 years. Fawning rates for treated does in New York decreased by about 90 percemt, but the number of deer in the studied herd did not decrease. Thus "birth control" is not a viable alternative for dealing with deer overpopulation.

Using reflectors to prevent deer from becoming road kills works only at night, until the deer get accustomed to the reflectors, and doesn’t lower deer birth rates. Thus reflectors are not a viable alternative either.

The township should stick to its plan of using controlled hunts. It’s the only alternative that works, and it ’s more humane than any so-called non-lethal alternatives. Any alternative that doesn’t work does not solve the problem, which is deer overpopulation.

Concerned citizens should not listen to the fanatic, obsessed animal worshippers. They try to pull the same stuff' all over New Jersey. They found deaf ears in this township, in Princeton and elsewhere. Their highly hyped wondercontraceptive, SpayVac, has been available experimentally for 10 years. I f it held any hope, others would already be using it. But they’re not.

I have lots of articles to e-mail to anyone who is interested. 1 can back up what I say with references from the experts.

Preserving open space starts with saving citiesBy Michele S. ByersExecutive DirectorNew Jersey Conservation Foundation

In the most recent decade measured, the number of developed acres in New Jersey increased by 14.1 percent. During the same period. New Jersey’s population increased by only 4.5 percent. Land was consumed at more than three times the rate of population growth. This is because much of our state's taxation, spending, and land use policies make it easier and more profitable to build on farm fields instead o f within our cities and older suburbs.

Statistics don't tell the whole story o f sprawl. A disturbing picture was painted as the backdrop for 20 sprawl-busting suggestions made by New Jersey Future in its recently released Achieving Genuine Prosperity report. Made up of conservationists, business leaders, and other civic-minded individuals, New Jersey Future is a statewide non-profit advocacy group fighting for better-

managed growth under the State Plan, and for sustainable development: a strong economy, a healthy natural environment, and a just society for New Jersey.

The report notes some of the consequences of sprawl, with which we are all too familiar. We're losing open space and farmland at an unprecedented rate; we pay the highest property taxes in the country; a housing market dominated by large single-family homes provides lim ited housing choices to the two-thirds of New Jersey households without small children; too much traffic clogs roads, from interstate highways to local streets; many suburban communities are now facing the same problems that have hampered cities— falling property values, personal income and employment.

Local leaders who wrestle with these issues are recognizing that they can’t just dig-in and stop the advance of sprawl alone, one community at a time. They arc asking for new tools from the state.

M any thanksEditor, The Item:

On hehalf o f Family Service of Morris County, I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to Bloomingdale’s fo r its generosity in hosting The Shopping Benefit, held recently at its location in The Mall at Short H ills Mall.

The b e n e f it is an annual event at Bloom ingdale’s in which more than 50 non-profit organizations participate by selling tickets to a one-day sale at the store. Proceeds from ticket sales directly benefit the participating non-profits, and they receive an additional donation from Bloom ingdale’s for every individual who brings a pre-pur- chased ticket to the one-day sale.

The store was buzzing w ith activity and fun at this year’s event, featuring food, fashion displays, and live entertainment. It was truly a great event for the family, in addition to being a shopping savings. The added perk is that this wonderful event benefited so many worthwhile non-profits in the greater Morris County community. Not only was this event a great fund-raising opportunity, but it also was a wonderful chance to enhance the v is ib ility o f Family Service and other non-profits in the community.

The proceeds and donations Family Service received from the

benefit w ill support our many programs and counseling services that support more than 5,000 children, seniors, welfare-to-work individuals and families each year.

Thank you to Bloomingdale's for caring about and making a d ifference in our com m unity and thank you to all those who supported this important and fun event.

Mary Jo Buchanan Family Service o f Morris County

CUB REPORTERS-Third graders at The Pingry School received a first-hand look at creating a newspaper when Phil Read, West Essex bureau chief for The Star-Ledger, recently paid them a visit. The students are in the midst of producing their own newspapers, which include developing story ideas, writing articles and editorials, securing ads, and laying out the newspaper. The idea was inspired by “The Landry News,” a book about children who create a class newspaper.

Saving citiesContinued from Page 4

The State Plan is one tool, pre settling a vision of how New Jersey can look i f we plan growth to guide our future development. However, a plan won't solve anything unless it is implemented. Although New Jersey's million aere preservation program w ill help. New Jersey Future points out that a corresponding commitment must he made to redeveloping our cities.

For example. New Jersey Future states the cost of demolishing and clearing the Pairs! brewery site in Newark and Irvington is at least $2 m illion. Since that's more than the value o f the land, however, private investors are not interested. Paving over a farm, or cutting down a forest. is much less expensive.

According to New Jersey Future, this is where the stale can help. Among their suggestions are sex eral that w ill help revitalize cities In steering future economic devel-

Stay away from CARCINOGENIC substances /In order to keep away \ I / / from the exposure of a \ J \J f ) probable carcinogenic substance, perc, from your newly dry-cleaned clothes:

f. Take off the plastic garment bag after you receive the garment from cleaners w ho use perc.

2. Drive home with all the windows open

3. Leave the clothes outdoors for 2-3 days where the air can remove the solvent from your garments.

These steps will minimize the exposure to perc. If you still w orry about perc levels on your clothes, Natural Cleaners can test it for you.

The maximum contam inant level for perc has been set at 5 ppb by the Environm ental P ro tec tion Agency. However, garm ents like sw eaters or jackets can carry m ore than 5 ppm if cleaned w ith perc.

If you can smell the perc odor, it s level is more than 20 ppm. Consequently, you are exposed to a probable carcinogenic solvent 1000 tim es more than the maxim um contam inant level. (lppm = 1000ppb)
