Board Of Education Final Meeting Of 1988-89 Addresses Lively Agenda

Presentations By High School Principal, HE A President Mark Proceedings

The Hillside Times. Friday, April 14, 1989

The final meeting of the 1988-89 Hillside Board of Education addressed a full agenda and entertained presentations from the high school Principal and the President of the teachers’ union at the Administration Building Wednesday evening.

Principal William Todt spoke about fore­seen needs and problems facing the high school and informed the Board of upcoming equipment and curriculum requests of his faculty and administration.

Todt pointed out that as the high school has been received a large number o f foreign-bom students whose English language skills are lacking, and that this trend is likely to con­tinue. he felt an expansion of the English As A Second Language program into the Sum­mer months was a good idea. “ The conti­nuance of this program into the Summer would help to improve the English skills of foreign-speaking students in preparation for the upcoming school year,” Todt said.

Todt also saw the need to establish an “ alternative school” to address the needs of at-risk students and felt that library resources were lacking at the high school. He suggested that the existing library be changed into a “ Media Center” and a new library be built or developed out o f existing physical plant. The Principal also said that Supervisor of Athletics and Physical Education Larry Cop­pola would probably request that an all- weather track be built behind the high school, a sports facility, Todt said, that could be us­ed by both the student body and the community.

Later in the meeting, the issue of student discipline at the high school arose, with Board members and Hillside Education Association Katherine Pender discussed the current means being employed to resolve discipline problems there. Ms. Pender pointed out that a staff Discipline Committee has been formed and is currently examining various aspects of

Planning Board Grants Two Subdivisions, Refers Two

Applicants To Zoning Boardby Marc Malara

Several applications were addressed during Wednesday evening’s meeting of the Hillside Planning Board at the Municipal Building, with the Board approving two minor subdivi­sions and referring two other applicants to the Zoning Board of Adjustment.

The Board approved a minor subdivision to extend property on 37 Wilder Street own­ed by James and Patricia Welsh. Township Engineer Adam Samiec found the paperwork to be in compliance with the request, which would divide the two properties evenly by ex­tending the lot line of Welsh's property an ad­ditional 25 feet.

The Board also approved a minor subdivi­sion to initiate a new lot line at 1482 Hiawatha Avenue, a property owned by John A. Munn. Board members found problems in the blueprints, and requested that the lot in ques­tion be renamed. The Board passed approval with the stipulation that the requirements would be met.

Jacob Becker of Springfield went before the Board to request approval for the addition of a two-story building onto an existing struc­ture at 547 Route 22 West. Planning Board Attorney William Thomas found Mr. Becker's knowledge of the construciton itself to be vague and requested the attendance of Engineer Donald Guarriello to explain the technical details. Mr. Thomas also suggested

that application fell out of the Planning Board’s jurisdiction in that the proposal call­ed for an extension onto property that already harbored a structure and is not a new building site. “ What we should actually be doing is examing the information and submitting our recommendation to the Board of Adjustment, who would give the approval,” he said.

Board members concurred with Thomas' recommendation and referred Becker to the Zoning Board o f Adjustment, while Mr. Samiec requested that a plan for adequate lighting and foliage be added to the plans.

Board members also reviewed an applica­tion for the construction of a warehouse on 465 Hillside Avenue owned by Sunrise In­dustries. According to the company's at­torney, Martin Fish, site plan approval had been granted in 1987, but a variance would be needed to eliminate the need for a building application. William Thomas stressed that a use variance was required and that the pro­posal was out o f the Planning Board’s hands.

According to Mr. Samiec, none of the im­provements stemming from his request in 1987 had been made. Additionally, it was mentioned that an ordinance to the area pro­hibited the existence of more than one building on the property and that to initiate construction, a use variance would have to be granted. The Board closed the discussion by referring the proposal to the Zoning Board of Adjustment.

discipline policy in hopes of establishing more concrete, consistent guidelines in this area. A recently-held Discipline Conference was “ more successful than expected,” according to Pender, who pointed out that 40-80 high school and elementary school teachers in the district indicated interest in the issue. Further in-service programs are planned and Pender indicated that the high school student hand­book would be revised to clarify policy on such issues as the dress code and student in­subordination. In addition, operating pro­cedures for in-school suspension will be ex­amined: the present set-up involves four separate shifts covering the discipline effort, denying a "straight-through enforcement” of in-school suspension guidelines.

“ Discipline is a very important issue at the high school and the staff is actively address­ing the problems we have,” Pender added.

Ms. Pender also presented outgoing Board President Yolanda Sansone with a resolution enacted by the HEA, citing Ms. Sansone’s ef­forts during her one-year term as the head of the Board. Ms. Sansone thanked her collegues on the Board, the school administration, facul­ty and parents for their “ patience and exper­tise” during her term. “ I hope that the Board has shown in the past year that it is not an august body closed off from the residents of Hillside,” Ms. Sansone remarked, “ Our aim was to show that we are a public forum total­ly concerned with the children in the district, our best resource for the future.”

On the business side, the Board offered the following non-tenure teachers in the district a written contract of employment for the 1989-90 school year, adopting the recommen­dation of Acting Superintendent of Schools Rose Stahnten; George Blauvelt. Joan Burke, Winthrop McGriff, Sara Robinson, Ann Katherine Wilhelm, Sybil Warner, Janine Lord, Dianne Rubenstein, Michael Smith, Karen Summcrsgill, Margaret Woebse, Carol

Also, it was resolved that non tenure guidance counselor Angela Mack would not be offered a written contract for the 1989 school year and would be notified o f the ac­tion on or before April 30, 1989. It was fur­ther resolved that Ms. Mack, a tenured teacher, would be given a salary notification for the coming year.

Nejani C. Lefler, Larry Levee, Luciana Santoricllo, Leslie Saltas and Derryk Sellers were appointed as Substitute Teachers in the district. Bertha Hudson was appointed as a Substitute School Aide. In addition, Robbie Brown as high school Clerk Typist, a ten month position, for the period beginning April 13 and ending June 30, 1989 at a prorated an­nual salary of $10,400.

Robert Gilbert Named Voter Registration Chairman For Chuck Hardwick’s

The Hardwick for Governor campaign an­nounced that Robert Gilbert has been selected as the voter registration chairman for Chuck Hardw ick’s gubernatorial campaign in Hillside.

Robert Gilbert, Republican Candidate for Hillside TwwmibipCwwtwmw? umi t> 1U yxarresident of the township said “ The Primary Election to be held on June 6 , 1989 to select the Republican candidate for governor will be critical for the future of New Jersey.

The picture above shows the tree on Hollywood Avenue adjacent to the property of Com- mitteewoman Ann Lord that was trimmed by Department of Public Works employees last week. The photo clearly shows that the tree is on private property, that most of the tree is well away from the municipal right-of-way and that the fresh cut on the branch in the upper right of the photo indicates a branch that did not hang over the public sidewalk. It remains to be seen whether public tax-supported resources should have been used to provide a service that homeowners are usually responsible for. Did the DPW fall within proper guidelines here, or was the work done just because the removed branch spanned the property of a member of the Township Committee? Was public safety truely at risk here? Was this one of those borderline cases that the township would have been better off leaving alqhe? Is the township responsible for the maintenance of all trees which abut on municipal right-of-ways? U

DPW Performs Tree Surgery Beyond Municipal Right-Of-WayReports to The Hillside Times regarding the

use of Department of Public Works resources to perform tree surgery on a tree standing on private property adjacent to the home of Com- mitteewoman Ann Lord prompted an in­vestigation into the matter. Telephone calls to residents o f the private property in ques­tion and the Department of Public Works revealed that the tree surgery was indeed done by the DPW, but township right-of-way could have superceded the private property status of the tree.

An inspection of the work site was con­ducted last Saturday. The tree stands at the corner of 51 Hollywood Avenue, a property that shares a common driveway with the home of Mrs. Lord. A fresh cut on a branch of the tree retreating from Hollywood Avenue in­dicated that the branch removed by DPW employees projected over the driveway of Mrs. Lord, well away from the sidewalk in front of the house. A measurement was made of the distance between the roadway and the part of the trunk closest to the roadway, and a measurement of the distance between the fresh cut and the edge of Hollywood Avenue was also made. The roadside edge of the tree trunk was approximately seven feet from Hollywood Avenue, and the fresh cut was roughly 15 feet from the roadway.

A call to the residence at 51 Hollywood

Avenue established that the DPW, not a private tree surgeon, cut down the branch. A follow-up call to Department of Public Works Superintendent Carmine Serratelli cor­roborated the claim. Serratelli admitted that the branch was cut down by the DPW, but since the tree in question stood within the ten foot right-of-way o f Hollywood Avenue, the township was responsible for its maintenance.

As the location of the fresh cut indicated that the removed branch was beyond the ten foot right-of-way of the township and well away from the public sidewalk, several ques­tions arose: Was the branch of the tree presen­ting a threat to public safety? Why was the DPW authorized to remove a branch from a tree on private property, when the branch was spanning only private property? Is the township responsible for every tree in Hillside that stands within ten feet of a roadway? As most of the tree in question stood beyond the ten foot right-of-way, does “ eminent do­main” of the township apply to this situation? Was the reason for the tree surgery predicated more on the tree’s proxinfinity to Mrs. Lord’s house than its proximinity to Hollywood Avenue? If the tree stood mostly beyond the ten foot right-of-way and the removal branch only threatened private property, did the DPW follow guidelines properly in doing the ’ree surgery?

previously voted in a primary may vote in the primary by simply declaring party affiliation at the voting booth on Election Day.”

"Chuck Hardwick believes it is important for as many people to speak out on the choice for the Republican Candidate for Governor, and that is whv his campaign is sponsoringa voter registration drive.’

The voter registration drive will be held on the following Saturdays: April 15, April 22, and April 29 to register voters between 10 a.m. and 12 noon at neighborhood shopping centers. In addition, representatives will be in the township conducting a door-to-door registration campaign.

“ Of Crime And InsincerityOn Monday, April 3, 1989, The Daily Journal ran an article about the announcement

of Republican Township Committee candidates John Ferro and Robert Gilbert which em­phasized two cornerstones oji the local GOP campaign: a rising crime rate and lack of accountability in Democratic-controlled town hall. The article contained quotes from Mayor Peter Corvelli and his Democratic colleague, Police Commissioner Samuel McGhee refuting the allegations of the GOP side, suggesting that the local Republican party is off-target on these issues, that crime is not on the upswing and that the decision and policy-making process of our township government is an open book.

It appears that every time the job performance of the local Democratic leadership is held to question, every time some shortcoming in municipal services or weakness of pre­sent public policy is revealed, the Mayor and the members of the Township Committee hide behind the shield of “ foundless allegations.”

It seems that every time they are confronted with fact that is in total opposition to their official line, every time a critic of town hall hits paydirt, every time something unsavory or questionable or on the ethical borderline comes to light, the Township Committee con­tinues to insist that their detractors are ill-informed or motivated by personal vendettas while the local government is on the money all the time.

Di course no person, no f&pwS'WIUHIVl1 fmfly Is tight att i tie time , t ta matict how a t*compiished and competent that person/body is, errors of judgement and estimation will occur. But, to hear the present Township Committee tell it, they are always above in­fallibility, at least.

To set the record straight, information provided to The Hillside Times by the New Jersey Stale Police indicates that crime has increased in Hillside and a review of the public record indicates that altogether too much gamesmanship is currently being waged in Hillside while the true needs of the township are not being prioritized, let alone addressed.

Safetypup has been appearing on the sides of half pint milk cartons across the country with safety messages designed to educate children about the ways which they can hefp prevent a tragedy happening to them. Some of his messages are: use the buddy system, go straight home from school, don’t take shortcuts, learn and memorize your address, know how to use the telephone, etc.

Safetypup is designed to be a positive role model that children can trust and look up to. It is hoped that Safetypup will soon be view­ed as a trusted friend by the children who will* teach them how to protect themselves.

Rhode Island:

“ America’s First Resort”

In the history books, the Winter of 1988-89 will be recorded as one of the least snowy and mildest in Rhode Island’s history. This cer­tainly allowed for a seemingly shorter Winter season. Despite the unusual weather, though, most Rhode Islanders still welcome the Spring and Summer seasons with open arms. By May, most of the state’s outdoor activities are getting into full-swing.

Watch Your Dogs In Warm Weather For The Protection Of Others

Rhode Island is a natural playground for outdoor activity of all types. Most common­ly, Rhode Island’s outdoor activity centers around Narragansett Bay and the ocean; boaters and anglers couldn't ask for a more perfect setting. Some people enjoy the miles of broad, sandy beaches along the south coast, while others enjoy the challenge of climbing up and down the rocky coast further to the east. Many bikers enjoy the quiet, flat roads of southern Rhode Island; but others prefer the hilly roads in the dense woods of northern Rhode Island. Others enjoy Rhode Island’s many state parks: those that are small and secluded and those that are right out in the To the Editor: open ocean! And, there’s the International League’s Pawtucket Red Sox, for those who just want to watch. Add to this the state’s compact size, and you have a great vacation spot.

With the arrival of warmer weather, Elizabeth Officer In Charge James F. Maloney has asked dog owners to help pro­tect letter carriers, utility workers and other citizens from the dangers of dog bites.

The Officer In Charge said that, national­ly, more than 3,000 letter carriers were bit­ten by dogs last year. Maloney added that those statistics included injuries to 23 Elizabeth letter carriers.

“ In recent years, the public has responded to our plea to keep their pets restrained; we have seen a decline in bites nationally," Maloney said. "Nevertheless, much is still to be done to eliminate the hazard to our employees and other citizens who might be bitten.’’

Mr. Maloney said that all dogs are ter­ritorial by nature, and even the most gentle

pet will bite if it feels its domain is threaten­ed by the presence of a carrier or other per­son. "W ith a little care, a pet owner can pro­tect not only our carriers, but his or her pet and pocketbook, too,” Maloney said.

Officer In Charge Maloney stressed that the Postal Service protects its carriers from dog bite hazards. Among remedies in situations where a pet owner fails to restrain a dog is interruption of home delivery to the residence or, in some cases, to entire neighborhoods. The Postal Service will also seek to recover workers’ compensation damages and provides counseling to carriers who have been bitten and who wish to seek legal action against the dog owners.

Mr. Maloney said these policies underscore the Postal Service’s commitment to protect its employees, and added that pet owners can

A Mass was offered Tuesday at Christ the King Church following the funeral from Growney Funeral Home.

Bom in Newark, he lived in Hillside for 60years.

Mr. Ferzolone was employed by the Hillside Department o f Public Works for 19 years, retiring in 1981.

He was an Army veteran of World War II. Surviving are a brother, Vito, of Hillside;

and four sisters, Mrs. Lena Frangione, Mrs. Angela Testa, Mrs. Anna DeDomenico and Mrs. Susan Morriello, also of Hillside.

Adam S. Grohowski

Adam S. Grohowski of Hillside passed away on Monday, April 10, 1989 at the Veterans’ Hospital in East Orange after a long illness.

Burial arrangements were by Growney Funeral Home with burial from St. Catherine’s Church on April 14.

He was employed by Bilkay’s Express Company for 30 years, retiring in 1984. A resident o f Hillside for 26 years, he was a member of the Hillside Elks, Disabled American Veterans and the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

He is survived by his wife, the former Irene Zbegner; a daughter, Linda Heath, of Stony Brook, New York; three sons, Stanley of Morganville, Robert of Colonia and Edward of Elizabeth, and seven grandchildren.

Survivors also include six brothers and sisters, including Stella Kostes and Anthony Grohowski, both of Hillside.

Recently you ran an article featuring dead trees stumps left throughout the town of Hillside. I ’m writing this letter to thank you for the results your article produced.

For three years, I had been pleading with the Shade Tree Department to help me with these trees. My first call to them was a re­quest that they kill the carpenter ants that had invaded the tree. The entry hole for the ants was too high up for me to reach, so I was unable to do this job myself. The Shade Tree Department came and looked and told me the ants would not harm the tree.

Finally the tree died, and now we were all left with a boom over our heads. Each year that passed made the tree a greater hazard and we all lived in fear that the tree would either kill someone or destroy someone’s property or home. I wrote letters, made phone calls, and finally went in person to visit the Shade Tree Department on more than one occasion. Nothing was done for us, and we did not

easily meet their responsibilities to control their pets.

“We suggest that pets be kept away from the mailbox and areas the letter carrier uses for access to the property,” Mr. Maloney

said. " I f the pet cannot be kept behind a secure fence, the owner should restrain it with a secure leash or tether or at least keep the pet inside the house during the usual hours carriers are making their rounds.”

Mr. Maloney added, "W e try to do our pan by stressing awareness of dog bite dangers to our carriers, but we rely heavily on the sup­port and cooperation of the community to end these painful and costly injuries.”

know where to turn.Then finally one day the town sent people

to cut the top off the tree, leaving a 20 foot stump. The stump remained and no efforts on my part or the part of my neighbors was able to produce any result.

And then your article appeared on a Thurs­day. Friday morning the Shade Tree Depart­ment cut the stumps, thereby eliminating the hazard. And shortly thereafter they removed the roots from the ground. Until I saw your article on Saturday, I really thought it had been my efforts that had produced the results.

I have learned the "pow er of the press” really means something. And I thank you from the bottom of my heart. The next time I have a problem I will be sure to ask your help in solving it.

Please note, however, that many of the trees that have died were invaded by the carpenter ants and were not killed by homeowners or over-pruning.

Continued from page onetoo much fingerpointing and buckpassing going on in the local Democratic party, a rather lame attempt to take the heat off themselves. Of course, it’s much easier for politicians on all levels and of every ideological stripe to confuse and cloud the issue with attacks on other people and groups rather than address the issued, to hunker down and actually do what they were elected to do: Serve the Public!

After seeing the Journal article last week, we contacted the State Police for information on crime levels in Hillside. We were provided with several copies o f an annual publica­tion entitled ‘‘Uniform Crime Reports, State of New Jersey,” prepared and issued by the Uniform Crime Reporting Unit of the State Police. The figures in the reports, dating from 1982 to 1987, indicate a radical increase in the crime rate during the first year of

Cocilovo Hurls Perfect Game In First Varsity StartFreshman LHP Strikes Out Nine In Season Opener Against St. Mary’s

Freshman Vincent Cocilovo pitched a perfect game in his First varsity start as the Hillside Comets shelled St. M ary’s of Elizabeth, 8-0, Monday afternoon at Conant Park.

The lankly lefthander struck out nine over the seven innings and went to a three-ball

count on only two batters as Hillside won its season opener. Utilizing a fastball, curve, and slider, the former Little League standout baffled St. Mary’s batters and wrote his name in the Hillside record book: it is believed that Cocilovo’s gem was the first perfect game in Comet history.

Zieleniewski At Symposium For Outstanding Teachers

“ Of Crime And Insincerity 55

Continued from page four

the current Democratic rule in Hillside, and suggest that the increase in crime in the township is indeed accelerating.

The primary measuring criterion for this type of analysis is the Crime Index Total, the sum total of those offenses which make up the index: murder, rape, robbery, larceny, burglary, aggravated assault and motor vehicle theft. State Police statistics show that in 1982, during a Republican reign at town hall, the Crime Index Total was 1,495, an average of roughly four reported offenses per day. In 1986, the last year of Republican township rule, the CIT rose to 1,748, an average of 4.79 reported offenses per day. The four-year rise in crime of 16.9% constituted an annual crime increase of about 4.2% during the period.

In 1987, the CIT jumped to 2,004, an average of nearly 5.5 reported offenses per day. The one-year increase over 1986 figures showed that in the first year of Democratic rule, the number of crimes jumped by 14.6%, more than tripling the four-year crime rate of 1982-86.

The Crime Rate per 1,000 in population trends also indicated that public safety was under attack in Hillside in the first year of current Democratic rule. In 1982, the Crime Rate per 1.000 was 69.9; in 1986, the figure was 81.2 and in 1987, the statistic jumped to 93.7. The annual increase in the Crime Rate per 1,000 for the four-year period bet­ween 1982 and 1986 was 3.4%; the increase in the Crime Rate per 1,000 between 1986 and 1987 was 15.3%.

The greatest increases in crime during 1987 was in the area of non-violent crime: burglary, larceny and motor vehicle theft. The Non-violent Crime Rate per 1,000 of 1986 rose from 72.1 to 84.3, an increase o f 16.9%. In comparison, the annual rise in the Non­violent Crime Rate per 1,000 from 1982-1986 was 2.65%. In this, the one-year increase in non-violent crime from 1986 to 1987 was six times the rate of 1982-86.

In Hillside during 1987 there were two murders, eight rapes, 122 robberies, 70 ag­gravated assaults, 289 burglaries, 960 instances of larceny and 553 cases of motor vehicle theft. There were also three instances of arson and 177 reported cases of domestic violence, up from 114 instances reported in 1984.

Figures for 1988 are not available yet, but will be forwarded to The Hillside Times sometime in the next two months. At that time, a more detailed analysis of this issue willappear.

If one assumes that the crime rate stayed level through the end of 1988, Crime has shot through the ceiling in Hillside and the trends are probably accelerating. For crime activity figures to trend downward to pre-1987 levels, a major cut in the crime rate would be necessary. As we read police reports constantly and listen to the scanner on a regular basis, we feel there has not been a fall-off in crime in the township, irrespective of what Mr. McGhee says or thinks. He questioned Mr. Ferro’s information: does he question the figures supplied by Colonel Clinton Pagano's office?

Either Mr. McGhee is ignorant o f what is going on in his portion of township business, or was merely stonewalling in his remarks to The Daily Journal. You know, the usual politican mouthing vague, wishy-washy comments colored only with opinion and in total disregard of the facts. If one assumes that the crime rate went up or stayed level in 1988, what does this do to the Police Commissioner's credibility? Here’s a so-called public ser­vant telling the local daily newspaper that there is no evidence to suggest that crime is increasing in Hillside, yet the State Police indicate otherwise. What are you going to believe: Empirical facts from a state police authority or the croak-croak of some political lizard up for re-election? After all, what’s Mr. McGhee supposed to say? “ You’re right, I ’m wrong. 1 will admit to the shortcomings of my administration.” Never in a million years. The present Democratic leadership in Hillside is always right.

Right about becoming over-dependent on state distressed cities aid. Right about remov­ing a fir tree from the Mayor’s father-in-law’s front yard under the specious ruse that the blighted fir would serve as the ’’official township Christmas tree.” Right about pull­ing the same kind of prank a few months later, even though they were caught the first time, by having DPW employees perform tree surgery on a tree standing on private pro­perty right next to Committeewoman Ann Lord’s house, the branch removed being far beyond the ten foot municipal right-of-way of Hollywood Avenue. Right about letting a political supporter slack off on his duties in keeping the Community Center clean. Right about restricting the public’s easy access to new township ordinances by withholding the publishing of those materials in The Hillside Times, an ill-advised political move that reflected little regard for the residents of this township. Right about retaining unessential municipal services in the areas o f recycling, recreation and day care when nearly two dozen police officers and fire fighters are going to have to take a march soon.

But this gets us into the issue of accountability, not crime, and unfortunately, we do not have enough space this week here to address the political clubhouse shenanigans of Madame Charlotte and her coterie of trained seals. We will respond to the accountability issue and recent allegations made by Mayor Corvelli about our veracity in The Daily Journal in the next edition of The Hillside Times.

Our final word on crime in Hillside, and the jury is still out is this: Official figures from the State Police for 1987 indicate that crime is on the way up, impending lay-offs of police in Hillside and Elizabeth will negatively impact this trend, but Mr. McGhee assures us that the public's fear of the rising tide of crime is “ unfounded,”

We agree with Mr. Ferro’s and Mr. Gilbert's position and echo their concerns. We mistrust the easy, pat, simplistic answers of the Democratic leadership. We listen to our neighbors, our friends, our sources and the Man In The Street.

And they agree, and mistrust, too.

The State We’re In:Dealing With The Greenhouse Effect, Ozone

Depletion, Acid Rainby David F. Moore

In a way, the world is an onion, at least in terms of environmental problems and their answers. Peel away one layer of a problem, like lead in gasoline, for instance, and another is revealed, such as exhaust abetting ozone formation. The important thing is that as we identify problems, the public and their of­ficialdom move to deal with them.

There have been milstones, such as Teddy Roosevelt’s launching the national park system, Rachel Carson’s book “ Silent Spring,” blowing the whistle on pesticides and, more locally, the fight to save the Great Swamp of Morris County from becoming a jetport. The reaction to that one helped spawn New Jersey’s Green Acres Program and the Johnson era’s natural beauty efforts.

Now it’s acid rain, ozone depletion in the stratosphere and the greenhouse effect, with gasses from the combustion o f oil and coal filling the skies with carbon dioxide, which stores heat likes the glass in a greenhouse. Each of these “ new” issues is bringing cor­responding actions at federal and state levels.

In this state we're in, lawmakers’ moves often show other states how to do it. That’s because New Jersey, with more people and cars per square mile than any other state, is singularly well-suited as a place to find new problems. This is the state which is doing more than practically any other to beat automotive pollution; but sheer numbers of cars, even if they pollute less per unit, spell more junk in our air.

Dealing with the greenhouse effect, which has been a few centuries in the making, will spell radical lifestyle changes for our children and grandchildren. Unified action can reverse its trends, but nothing can stop the impacts which will materialize in this and the next few generations.

New Jersey leads the way nationally with

recycling, but we will have to do better than its targeted 25 percent reduction in the solid waste stream. I think we will, through better composting techniques and winning full public cooperation to separate out the pollutants, such as old motor oil, batteries and certain household chem icals. I ’m opting for something like a 75 percent waste stream reduction from recycling.

This line of thought brings me to a story about law enforcement. Recently I visited a park purchased by my organization, the New Jersey Conservation Foundation, on behalf of a northern New Jersey town. Nearby is an abandoned landfill, and 1 saw leachate ooz­ing from it to a stream feeding the park’s swimming and skating pond. I also spotted a dozen bags of garbage on a quiet trail, so 1 alerted the town to both situations.

Prompt action followed, with the illegal dumpers caught and, as it happened, with the state inspectors having found the leachate pro­blems a few days before my visit, so that legal action is under way against both the dumpers and the owner of the leachate source.

No doubt it will take a long time to force what are bound to be uncooperative owners to clean up their messes. The landfill has ob­viously been leaking for years. But at least the process of catching the bad guys has begun. That’s bound to be a significant step in the right direction!

The trouble is that there are hundreds of such situations in the Garden State, some of which are scheduled for cleanup, but even more yet to be dealt with. And meanwhile, because garbage is expensive to cope with, we can find more and more dumped along our rural roadsides and in our protected open spaces.

My compliments to that town for prompt and tough action, and 1 can only hope that other rural municipalities can get somebody to hunt through roadside garbage bags for clues as to who to prosecute.

by Marc Malara

New Jersey was given the rare privilege Tuesday, April 11, to act as host to Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, who spoke before an audience of over two thousand at the Congregation B’nai Abraham in Livingston.

Sponsored by the United Jew-ish Federation ul N klroW oi. the event marked the first in-stance where an Israeli Prime Minister has come to New Jersey.

Spiritual leader of the congregation. Rabbi Barry Friedman called Shamir’s visit “ a most historic communal event.” Senator Frank Lautenberg spoke briefly, advocating stronger support of Israel by the United State and that the country’s value in ensuring a peaceful relationship with the mid-east was essential.

Mr. Shamir fervently addressed the crowd.

expressing his commitment to the Jewish peo­ple and his appreciation of the support he received. “ Israel is the symbol of our yearn­ings for thousands of years. Tonight shows me that you know how important it is to be united as one people,” he said, initiating re­sounding cheers from the audience. He fur­ther stated, “ Settling with the PLO will not bring peace, but guarantee disaster.’’

Outside the grounds of the synagogue, a small group of PLO supporters sported ban­ners denouncing Shamir, but were effective­ly kept under control by police.

Shamir closed his address by thanking the audience once again, at which point Sam Oolie, President of the United Federation of MetroWest presented the Prime Minister with a token ol support, a “ New Jersey and you, perfect together” T-shirt.

“ All my pitches were working,” Cocilovo said Tuesday afternoon, “ 1 felt strong and was fortunate in getting the batters out."

Pitching a perfect game in high school is not as rare as one would think, but Cocilovo’s effort on Monday is probably unique. Allow­ing no runs, hits, or walks in one’s first var­sity start is so uncommon that the achievement borders on the unreal, the storybook, the wildest dream of any player who attempted to find the strike zone.

But the good-natured freshman has his feet on the ground. “ 1 know you can’t get much better than a perfect gam e," he joked, “ Now I have nothing to look forward to .”

However, in a more serious vein, Cocilovo said, “ I just want to continue pitching effec­tively and win as many games as I can for my team .” Vinnie Cocilovo

(City Schools of Excellence, Partners in Lear­ning, Urban Prekindergarten Initiatives, and “ Job Alike” Seminars), Teachers As Am­bassadors for the Profession, Adult Literacy, Classroom Management Workshops, and Committees related to Suicide Prevention, Aids Prevention, and Governor’s Teaching Scholars. Commissioner of Education Saul Cooperman, as keynote speaker, emphasiz­ed the continued need to involve teachers in the improvement efforts to achieve excellence in New Jersey’s public schools.

Utset Sparks Comets With Three-Hitter Against Johnson Regional

Adds RBI Triple In 3-0 Hillside Victory

The Hillside Comet baseball team benefited lrom another excellent pitching performance Tuesday afternoon as Edgar Utset fired a three-hit shutout of host Arthur Johnson Regional of Clark, 3-0.

The senior lefthander struck out 11 and walked three in pitching the distance. One of the better hitters in the area, Utset hammered two singles and a run-producing triple in the fifth inning to help his own cause.

Kelton Hall went two for four with an RBI

single in the fourth inning to aid the Comet offense.

John Poznanski, who struck out 10 batters, took the loss for Johnson (1-1).

Utset’s three-hitter followed on the heels of freshman Vinnie Cocilovo’s perfect game in the season opener on Monday at Conant Park, raising Hillside’s record to 2-0 and extending the pitching staff s scoreless streak to 14 con secutive innings.

THIS WEEK LOOKING BACKTen years ago

The fate of the proposed boiler replacement at Walter O. Krumbiegel school hung in the balance as the Township Committee pondered cuts in the proposed 1979-80 school district budget defeated by voters on April 3, 1979. The Committee targeted the defeated Capital Outlay budget of $175,641 for the cuts, placing the $120,500 project to replace the four WOK boilers in jeopardy. The replacement plan was a hotly debated issue, with Board of Education Buildings and Grounds Chairman Gennaro “ Tiny” Messano flatly opposing the idea. Messano pointed out that the Board spent $34,000 in 1975 to purchase four new firing units for the “ lifetime cast iron" boilers, and that all was needed to remedy the situation was to “ dress the trimmings” around the heating units.
