PyANNAI THE RECORD-PRESS SCOTCH PLAINS — As Michael Chemidlin lay on the ground in a dirty prison cell in Sierra Leone, suf- fering from malaria and surrounded by murderers, he never questioned his fate or his reason for being there. Even though he faced up to 15 years in a foreign prison, Chemidlin remained strong in his personal reli- gious faith, despite his weakening physical state and the stress of being charged with a crime he did not com- mit. Eighty-two days after he arrived in Africa fora religious trip, the 57-year old was finally freed after espionage charges were dismissed, fittingly, on the Fourth of July. "I never doubted for a moment (that) I would be released," Chemidlin said in an inter- view last Friday, Though he's finally back home, he's unlikely to ever forget the experi- ence, which is fresh in his mind and has left a mark on his body. Sitting in an office room at Family Investors, where members of his family work, Chemidlin recalled every painful moment spent defending his inno- cence. Rubbing his shoulder, he said he is still sore after prison guards repeatedly yanked him up by the ail- ing arm, as he bounced from prison to court to a prison hospital before being freed on bail and, finally, for good. But the one thing that brought him to Sierra Leone, his faith, is stronger than ever. "Anytime something like this hap- pens, it raises faith," said the former township resident, who is now plan- ning a move to Manhattan. Chemidlin does not regret his trip to the African nation, saying it was not his will, but God's. He left the United States April 13 for what was supposed to be a month-long trip to meet with other Christians to start a church in Sierra Leone. "I was not proselytizing," said Chemidlin. "They were already believers." He arrived in Ghana on April 14, attended a religious conference and then went to Sierra Leone, where he met with his religious "brothers" who had invited him to visit.

During a presentation by the Rutgers Cooperative Research & Extension, the children learned about the library's rain garden, which directs stormwater from the roof to the ground, where it is cleaned by native plant species. The garden was installed in September; since then, it has effectively absorbed "hundreds of thou- sands of gallons" of rainwa- ter, said David Schwartzberg, a member of the Fanwood Environmental Commission. Consisting of a depressed area of mulch, rocks, and 24 varieties of native plants including bald cypress, bee balm and blue flag iris, the rain garden is a "relatively inexpensive and attractive option" for residents who want to capture rain runoff from their roof, said Schwartzberg. The garden was funded by a county grant that was given to the Rutgers group, said Schwartzberg. The Cooperative Research & Extension worked in partner- ship with the borough's pub- lic works department, the Rahway River Association and the Master Gardeners of Union County to install the rain garden. Four other gar- dens have been installed at locations in Cranford and Woodbridge. Inside the library, the stu- dents saw firsthand the effects of fertilizer, pesticide and other pollutants. Working with a model of a community called "Messy Town," Madeline DiNardo and Amy Boyajian of the Rutgers Cooperative Research & Extension showed children how pollu- tants enter stormwater on a daily basis. As Boyajian dust- ed the model town with ingredients like dirt and pep- per that represented real pol- lutants such as fertilizer, dog waste and car oil leaks, stu- dents hollered in excitement. "Oh no! It really is messy!" one first grader yelled as Boyajian sprinkled the ingre- dients on the model town and then sprayed it with water to represent a rainfall. As chil- dren watched with rapt attention, the water mixed with the "pollutants," creat- ing a dirty liquid. "All those pollutants are going into the groundwater and that will be in your drinking water," said DiNardo. "How can we clean up messy town?" After a few incorrect but imaginative answers including "a giant napkin"children learned families could install rain gardens in their yards to capture run-off. They also learned there are a lot of other little things resi- dents can do to help keep groundwater clean. Doing a soil test to see how much, if any, fertilizer is needed on lawns, cleaning up after pets, putting up fences around construction sites, fix- ing cars that have oil leaks and using only as much pesti- cide as needed are among the simple things everyone can do to help, said DiNardo. "Drainage is a big issue when it comes to building (honies or additions)," said Dan Weiss, Fanwood Memorial Library director.

The bond ordinance will help fund the municipality's share of improvements to two sites owned byUnion County, said Township Manager Tom Atkins. The money will go towards irrigation improve- ments, installation of a clay infield and new lighting at the baseball and soccer fields at the Union County Vocational-Technical complex on Raritan Road, as well as toward additional irrigation improvements at the Route 22 Little League Field. At nearly $300,000, the new lights represent the lion's share of the costs. The upgrades represent additional work requested by the township on top of field improvements at the two complexes that were author- ized bythe county earlier this year. In addition to the bond ordinance, municipal officials authorized Union County to apply toward the project $172,500 from an unuBed 2005 Kids Recreation Trust Fund grant. In total, the township will be contributing $424,700 for the improve- ments, according to the inter- local agreement between Scotch Plains and the county, though the money from the trust fund was originally sup- plied by the county. Upgrades at the Union County Vo-Tech fields have been on the table for more than three years now, Atkins said during the meeting Tuesday night, The meeting was scheduled at the last minute so a public hearing on the bond ordinance can be held at the Aug. 8 Township Council meeting, with con- struction to begin shortly thereafter, "I don't normally like spe- cial meetings in the summer, especially with something that requires money," said Mayor Martin Marks.

Board approves Seneca Place proposalWESTFIELD—Despite con-

"The rain garden was really put in as a learn-ing tool.

"People need to do something to addressrain water on their property," Weiss added."...This is a newer idea that looks great."

And there's some evidence the idea iscatching on.

As ofthis week, one applicant had already agreedto the measure, he said.

Chemidlin sustained by faith(Continued from page A-l)

Iraq War last July The trip toSierra Leone was supposed tolast two weeks, with a visit toLiberia next on the agenda. Buta couple photographs taken onApril 29 changed everything.

That morning, Chemidlinwent site-seeing with FelixRogers, a friend and SierraLeone resident who Chemidlinwas hoping to bring into thechurch. Rogers took Chemidlinto a United Nations war crimescourt, where unknown to bothof them, former Liberian presi-dent Charles Taylor was beingheld on 11 counts of war crimes.

Rogers suggested taking aphotograph of the special court,said Chemidlin. "So I snappedthe photo... and then SierraLeone guards came and said'Come with us,™ saidChemidlin. "I made a joke toFelix that I hope we didn't doanything wrong!"

Once inside police headquar-ters, Chemidlin and Rogerswere grilled by police officers.Things didn't seem too seriousyet, said Chemidlin, who added,"I heard one policeman talkingto another and he said 'He did-n't break any laws."1 The policekept Chemidlin's camera, andlet the two go, asking

Chemidlin to come back withhis passport the next day.

Chemidlin did as he wastold, but on May 2, he, Rogersand Collins Kamara, anotherSierra Leone resident who waspart of Chemidlin's churchgroup, were arrested and even-tually charged with conspiracy.Kamara had told police "he did-n't know if I had any (criminal)intent," said Chemidlin, whosays he thinks Kamara wasjust trying to protect himself."Instead, tJhey arrested him andcharged him with conspiracy,''

The bizarre course ofevents left Chemidlinshocked. "I said, These people

can't be for real!'" Despite theaccusations, he said, hun-dreds of residents beganprotesting outside the prison.Many of them had served inIraq with Chemidlin and hadbeen spreading support andlooking for attorneys to repre-sent his case.

Chemidlin soon found alawyer, but after 10 days ofsleeping on a floor mat in atiny jail cell that "reeked frombody waste," Chemidlin wasformally charged with con-spiracy. "I knew that wastheir goal," he said. Still, thepossibility of a 15-year prisonterm did not scare him. "Inever let it into my mind thatI would be there forever."

Chemidlin, Rogers andKamara were all taken toanother prison, where a long

road of court proceedings anddelays awaited them. Thoughthe terrible conditions beganmaking him sick, Chemidlinfound hope in the least likelyof places: his fellow prisonmates. Accused murderersand other inmates occasional-ly tried to intimidateChemidlin, but he says hefound comfort in the Bible.

"It was really a revivingtime," said Chemidlin. Collinswas preaching to some of theinmates and Chemidlin's reli-gious message was spreadingto others, who began singingreligious songs of praise.

Chemidlin continued toremain optimistic that thecase would eventually bedropped following what heconsidered "proper proce-dure." "It was all normal to

On May 15, a magistratejudge ruled that snapping pic-tures of the United Nationsspecial court was not prohib-ited, and Chemidlin and hisfriends were released. Finallyfree, but not yet home,Chemidlin "got the best hotelroom" in the area and madearrangements to return homelater that week.

Aftershaving and cleaning up Iwas taken to the court to aholding area," saidChemidlin. There I waited toget on a truck that took us tocourt. They'd fight my case,adjourn, I'd wait until five atnight and they'd bring usback to prison... Most of myday was spent waiting."

His only comfort lay inreading the Bible and takinga sponge bath with a bucketof water at the end of the day,said Chemidlin. The prisonhospital was better than hisformer cell, but it still wasn'thome. Again he drew strengthfrom his faith, saidChemidlin. With his fellowinmates, "We prayed togetherand built a support group...faith kept me going."

After about 20 totalappearances before the judge,Chemidlin's day of freedomfinally came on the Fourth ofJuly. Prosecutors failed toshow up, and the judge ruledthere was insufficient evi-dence to hold Chemidlin andhis two friends.

After all he had beenthrough, the news leftChemidlin feeling numb. "Ifelt nothing," he said. But histrip was not for nothing, saysChemidlin. He helped createa church in Sierra Leone,despite the fact that most ofhis time was spent in prison."Now the whole city knowswho we are... what betterway to start a church."

"It was quite, quite anexperience to say.the least,"said Chemidlin, who some-how manages to see only thegood in his trip. "The peoplethere are absolutely beauti-ful.

"I'll never forget (whathappened), but I have tobelieve it was the will of God."

Borough officials optimisticas they await word on state aidTHE RECORD-PRESS

FANWOOD — The boroughmay find out how muchextraordinary state aid it willreceive by Friday, according toMayor Colleen Mahr, who saidshe is optimistic about whatFanwood may receive.

Though the council recentlyheld a public hearing on theproposed $7.7 million munici-pal budget, no formal decisionswere made as the borough con-tinues to await state aid fig-ures, which normally arrive inthe first week of July but weredelayed by the state budget dis-pute and government shut-down. The borough has appliedfor extraordinary aid, hoping toreceive $500,000 of relief fromthe program, said MayorColleen Mahr this week.

The extraordinary aid pro-gram offered by the state'sDepartment of CommunityAffairs' offers property taxrelief for municipalities that fitcertain criteria; awards arebased on the quality of a town'sapplication and the total

amount of the money the stateLegislature approves for theprogram.

Around the state, localtowns have regularly had toraise property taxes to makeends meet. Borough officialsintroduced a tentative budgetearlier this year that includedan average property tax hike of$206 to help cover rising healthinsurance and pension expens-es, but they also asked forenough extraordinary state aidto offset the entire increase."We put in for the wholeincrease — $500,000 — butany amount will help," saidMahr.

"I think the fact that theprogram of extraordinary aidhas not been cut (by theLegislature), but restored isencouraging," added Mahr, whosaid the program's pot is about$40 million. "I'm very opti-mistic. We've been given everyindication that this applicationwas appropriate."

And the mayor stressed thatthe $206 figure would be lowerin the borough's final spendingplan, regardless of state aid fig-

ures. "We're still able to adjustthe budget," she said.

Mahr also noted severaltowns that had applied forextraordinary aid have alreadybeen directed by the state topass their budgets without theexpectation of any state aid,but Fanwood has not receivedthat call.

"We're told we're going to getsomething, and to wait untilthe end of the week," said themayor. If state aid figures docome in on Friday as expected,a meeting and public hearingwill be held July 25 to amendthe budget.

In light of the delay on aidfigures, the mayor and councilapproved a resolution lastweek extending the Aug. I taxpayments, and the mayorstressed that if tax bills do goout late, the borough willextend the grace period so resi-dents are not penalized.

No plans yet to take down wallTHE RECORD-PRESS

FANWOOD—A controver-sial application about aMidway Avenue property thathas caused frustration for bothPlanning Board members andneighbors may be deemedincomplete next week, withenforcement soon to follow,Planning Board ChairmanGregory Cummings said atthe board's agenda meetingMonday night.

Board engineer Joe Pryorsaid he had recently spokenwith representatives for theapplicant, Alexander Segal,and was told that plans to teardown an illegal wall on Segal'sproperty would not be readyby the end of this month. Butthe problem, said board mem-bers, is that the applicant wasordered to take down the wallin June. The application wasset to continue at next week'sPlanning Board meeting.

"Basically it seems the

application will be deemedincomplete, and it then goes toenforcement... and maybe tothe courts," said Cummings.

Segal has been seeking sev-eral yard setback variancesand one variance for the max-imum height of a wall con-structed in his rear yard at453 Midway Ave. But theapplication attracted dozens ofangry neighbors to hearingsearlier this year.

Due to a previous archi-tect's mistake, a permit wasobtained to build an additionto the house too close to aneighboring lot. When theerror was discovered, a stopwork order was issued onMarch 10, 2004. Segal hasbeen appealing the stop workorder to the county, accordingto construction official BruceHelmstetter.

But much of the controver-sy has stemmed from the wall,which Segal's representativeshave argued was built beforethe township's construction

code changed, requiring a vari-ance for the seven-foot struc-ture. In addition to the con-cerns over the height of thewall, the anchors of the struc-ture are on the property ofSegal's rear neighbor, MarciaGelfand.

At a March 29 hearing, theboard ordered Segal to makeplans to tear down the wall,after he failed to present engi-neering documents thatdemonstrated the wall hadbeen built safely and securely.

Segal's application is stillon the agenda for thePlanning Board's official meet-ing at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday,but it is unclear if the hearingwill proceed because Segal hasnot yet followed the board'sorders.

"We'll see what happensWednesday," said Cummings.

THE RECORD-PRESS

SCOTCH PLAINS — ThePalmer Video on WestfieldAvenue usually distributesmovies. But last Friday after-noon, the store was actually inone, as the cast and crew ofWatching the Detectives visitedthe site to shoot a few scenes forthe upcoming film.

Residents gathered aroundthe store to try and catch aglimpse of the movie's stars,Lucy Liu and Gillian Murphy.Liu has starred in the hit televi-sion series Ally MeBeal and sev-eral movies including Charlie'sAngels and Kill Bill, whileMurphy's list of films includesBatman Begins, Red Eye and 28Days Later.

The windows of the videostore were covered as filmingbegan around noon, becausethe indoor scenes were meantto take place at night, accordingto Palmer Video manager CraigSmith.

"The actors were prettyapproachable," said Smith, whoadded, 'They took some time tosign autographs... It was a funexperience."

To transform the store intothe video outlet "Media Giant,"the crew rearranged the interi-or of the building for the shoot,eventually putting everythingback in place in the wee hoursof the morning, said Smith,

The film, which is scheduledto come out some time in 2007,centers around Murphy's char-acter, who owns a small videostore that "goes against a bigcorporate store," said Smith.The local Palmer Video wasused as the set for the corixirutestore, he said.

The IMDB online biographyof the film describes the plotthusly: "A film noir buff(Murphy) has his life turned onend by a femme fatale (Liu)

CommentaryOnly a few boatsrise in this tide

Normally, hearing that the federal budget deficit issmaller than expected would be encouraging news, soit was with understandable pride that the BushAdministration recently announced that the gapbetween expenses and revenues for the current fiscalyear would be "only" $296 billion, down from a previ-ously projected $423 billion. But when you look a lit-tle closer — as Wall Street Journal reporters Greg Ipand Deborah Solomon did in an outstanding articleearlier this week — the news becomes more discour-aging.

That's because, as Ip and Solomon point out, thedeficit shrunk largely because income inequality con-tinued to increase, with the nation's richest individu-als taking home a larger share of the economic pie.And despite federal lawmakers' efforts over the lastfive years to dismantle the federal tax structure, theincome tax is still progressive, meaning that when therich get richer, tax revenues increase, even if thenation's economy is stagnant.

In fact, overall economic growth for the 2006 fiscalyear will be just . 1 percent more than the TreasuryDepartment expected. And revenues from payrolltaxes, those Social Security and Medicare deductionsin your paycheck every two weeks, will actually be 1percent less than expected, meaning the typical wageearner isn't seeing much benefit from economicgrowth — and that fact, as Ip and Solomon write,"may explain why the average American still givesPresident Bush low marks on the economy despite itsoverall strength."

"On the other hand," they add, the latest data "alsomay be evidence that Mr. Bush's tax cuts are workingas advertised," because they've encouraged wealthyAmericans to work more and earn more. A cynic mightsay that the tax cuts have worked even better thanadvertised — it was always clear that the main effectof the cuts would be to make rich Americans richer,and now we find they're getting richer even fasterthan expected. Celebrating the incidental deficitreduction that occurs from this trend is perverse.

It's startling that this needs to be said, but thepoint of economic growth is to make people's lives bet-ter. Growth that benefits only a section of the popula-tion — especially when that section is least in need —isn't getting the job done. In the post-World War IIperiod, America experienced an unprecedented eco-nomic explosion that dramatically lifted the wage-earning potential of the average family. But in thedecades since, median wages have been mostly stag-nant once adjusted for inflation, as even when theeconomy has grown the benefits have been concentrat-ed at the top.

This phenomenon certainly can't all be blamed onthe Bush Administration — academics and expertsare still puzzling out the causes behind rising incomeinequality, and the balanced budgets of the late 1990sbenefited from a similar spike in tax payments fromwealthy individuals and corporations. But Bush andhis backers in Congress have adopted policies thatintentionally direct more of the nation's wealth to thetop, reinforcing a trend that was already underway.

Our leaders in Washington, and Americans them-selves, have quite enough to worry about at themoment in the Middle East, so it's unsurprising thatthese issues seem to be neglected lately. Earnestdebates about the deficit and tax policy somehowseem so 1990s — before Sept. 11 "changed every-thing." But at some point, we need to ask: Is this thebest we can do?

Headed in the wrong 'Directions'To The Record-Press:

In a letter published recently in some localpapers, I referred to the Union CountyAlliance newspaper, Union County Directions,as a taxpayer-funded political campaign pieceto promote Union County's Democratic publicofficials who are up for reelection.

Of course, this statement always drawscriticism from opponents of the GOP whostaunchly defend the county's use of publicmoney with the justification that the publica-tion is merely intended to "inform" county res-idents of what is going on in the county andalerting residents of the various useful servic-es that the county provides. Timing beingeverything, there are those who point toCongressional mailings from legislators, oneof which arrived this week, as being the exactsome thing, and ask why it is that I don'tdenounce the Republicans as being guilty ofthe same abuse of taxpayer dollars. Well, thatis because there is a difference, namely"franking,"

According to the Committee on HouseAdministration Web site, found ath ttp://chn. house, go v/servi ce.s/frnnki ng_com-mission_whntisfrnnk.htm, in 1775 "theAmerican Continental Congress authorizedfranking privileges to its members as a meansof informing their constituents. The first U.S.Congress enacted a franking law in 1789. Thefranking privilege lias remained a necessaryand valuable tool of our representative gov-ernment for more than 200 years." By investi-gating further, an interested voter can learnthat congressmen and senators are given anannual budget to use at their discretion forspecific expenses, one of which is called "con-

stituent mailings." All mass mailings are to beapproved by the Franking Commission andbear the notation: "This mailing was pre-pared, published and mailed at taxpayerexpense" and must hit mailboxes at least 90days prior to an election, no exceptions.

Perhaps detractors can point us in thedirection of where to learn, just what are the"special franking privileges" that apply to theUnion County Board of Chosen Freeholders?Seems to me that New Jersey laws wouldapply to them and the entire parade ofDemocrat candidates up for re-election, or arethey exempt? Do these regulations apply onlyto Republicans?

Let's get real here. The freeholder boardsends taxpayer money to the Alliance for thepublication of the UC Directions, and thepublication comes out twice a year. Mailed tocounty residents just days before both theprimary and general elections, it featuresDemocratic incumbents up for re-election,with both pictures and articles. Stnte law'says that informational pieces featuringincumbents and paid for with tax dollarsmust reach the general public in the districtat least 60 days prior to an election. TheSaturday or Monday before Election Day,which is always on a Tuesday is merely one ortwo days, not two months prior to the elec-tions. Obviously there is either someone whocan't count, or the U.S. Postal Service is ineven worse shnpe and slower than we origi-nally thought.

Trying tocan spam•VmtMMUWUYSTAFF WRITER

Warning: This column maycontain spam or the outragedrumblings of a frustratedreporter. If you feel it's a mat-ter of the latter, please contactme via email, but be fore-warned, it might not getthrough.

In a valiant attempt tokeep our company email'sinboxes spick and span, anew spam filter has recentlybeen installed on a system-wide basis. The nifty littlefeature is supposed to helpprotect the employees of thiscompany from anything thatmight damage our computernetwork or our moral fiber. Iappreciate the efforts of ourtech support staff, and I wishI could sing the praises ofspam filters at large — butthis, sadly, is not the case.

After almost two weeks,I'm still waiting to receivephotos of a garbage build-upin the Rahway River thatwere sent to my work accountas I stood in the home of ahelpful resident and watchedher type out my emailaddress — but remindersabout the great deals that Ican get on erectile dysfunc-tion treatments come throughat a regular clip, albeit with awarning attached to the sub-ject line telling me they justmight be spam. This warningis also attached to someviable emails that are sentfrom residents trying to sub-mit information to the paper,and some messages areblocked altogether — but forthe most part, it seems, thespammers are undeterred.

I finally snapped this weekafter I sent an email from mypersonal account (a less thancreative yet easily recogniza-ble combination of my firstand last name) and realizedthat it had been hopelesslyblocked by the filters. All Ihad wanted was to sendmyself a series of notes I'dtranscribed over the weekendwithout having to resort todigging out a floppy disk(remember those?) and thenhaving to remember it in mydaily rush to get out my frontdoor in the morning. I sentmyself the email on Sundayevening, and at press timeWednesday it hadn't yet comethrough, though stock tipsand prescription drug offersarrive in my inbox every day.

I'd had enough. I came up•with the most reckless yetcreative thing I could think ofwhile dodging my workTuesday night — I was goingto reply to a spam email andtell the person on the otherend what he had coming.

Somewhere along the line,my sarcastic and insult-ladenemail turned into a manifestothat demanded that my sen-sibilities as an email user berespected and that the spam-mers of the world know that Imeant business. I was mad ashell and I wasn't going totake it any more. Ten rant-filled minutes later, just as Iwas prepared to hop on mydesk in homage to NormaRae with my missive abovemy head asking where thedecency of emails had gone, Istopped.

Would my campaigning tostop this proliferation ofunwanted and sometimedownright dirty emails reallydo anything that years ofresearch by top computer pro-gramming brains hadn'talready thought of? Could thepoorly thought-out and utter-ly cantankerous lament ofone mad user with a littletime on her hands really doanything to stop this bane ofthe Internet?

I doubt it, but I still could-n't seem to help myself. Ipushed "send" and hoped forthe best. A dny later, I stillhaven't seen a response fromthe spammers, but if anyoneneeds to get a replica watch, Ihave an email thnt might putyou in the right direction.

GUEST COMMENTARY

Alarm bells for state's economySENATOR, DISTRICT 21

For a long time, New Jerseywas lucky. The state's desir-able location, its well-trainedworkforce, and the presence ofmajor educational institutionskept our economic engineviable over the years.However, luck doesn't sustainor grow an economy, and nowit would appear our luck hasrunout.

Two of New Jersey's lead-ing economists, James Hughesand Joseph Seneca, believethat New Jersey's economy isin a state of "alarmingdecline." Once a model in eco-nomic progress and innova-tion, New Jersey now faces anuncertain future, one thatbarkens back to the GreatDepression era. The econo-mists' report signals thatchange is necessary, and thatNew Jersey must begin tochallenge the status quo. It istime for wholesale govern-ment reform.

Creating a more attractiveplace in which to work andlive requires that a state beaffordable. New Jersey resi-dents now face some of thehighest property taxes in thecountry and on the heels of ahistoric and costly state shut-down, residents and business-es alike will feel the impact ofnearly $2 billion in new taxesand fees. Individuals havebeen leaving the state inrecord numbers, and business-es are beginning to follow suit.

Wholesale budget reformrequires that the state stop itsover-reliance on taxes andbegin to take a hard look atjust how it spends taxpayermoney. The creation andexpansion of new fees andtaxes over the past five yearshave not succeeded in improv-ing New Jersey's structuralbudget problems, but coincidewith a marked loss in privatesector jobs.

Similarly, half-heartedattempts by the Democrat leg-islative leadership to producecomprehensive pay-to-playgovernment contractingreform have done little toensure that New Jersey isbenefiting from a systemwhere contracts are trulyawarded based on merit. Fay-to-play costs the state in somany ways because it stiflescompetition in the market-place. New Jersey should bedoing everything it can to fos-ter a contracting system thatrewards cost-efficient, innova-tive, progressive enterprisesand entrepreneurs. Wholesale,comprehensive pay-to-playreform is simply good busi-ness.

Finally, wholesale reformmust be made in the way thestate develops our economy toits fullest promise and poten-tial. Governor Corzine hassaid that economic develop-ment will become a priority inSeptember, and I have legisla-tion that can jumpstart hiseffort. Designated the "NewJersey Economic DevelopmentPromotion Act," Senate bill 81streamlines and reorganizes

Bramnickcalls on AGto resign

Assemblyman JonBramnick (R-Dist. 21) hascalled for the immediate res-ignation of Attorney GeneralZulima Farber, who is underfire for her involvement in atraffic stop involving herboyfriend. Bramnick, a prac-ticing trial lawyer, said thatthe attorney general shouldnot have gone to the scene ofthe incident.

"New Jersey's chief lawenforcement officer should notbe taking time out of her dayto assist her boyfriend whowas involved in a routine traf-fic stop. The fact that she wasdoing this while on state time,in a state-issued vehicle beingdriven by a state trooper, iscompletely inappropriate.The attorney general shouldhave allowed the local lawenforcement community toreact, in accordance with nor-mal procedure, to this trafficviolation," he said.

Bramnick, a formeradjunct faculty member atboth Rider and Rutgers uni-versities, has also served asthe former president of theRichard J. Hughes Inn ofCourt, which trains younglawyers on trial practice.

economic developmentstatutes in order to reinventthe state's approach to theway it which it helps business"do business" in New Jersey.My proposal calls for the elim-ination of duplicate programsthrough the consolidation ofeconomic development pro-grams under the umbrella ofthe New Jersey EconomicDevelopment Agency {EDA).Equally important, it calls forthe creation of new programsdesigned to meet the chal-lenges of the 21st century. Ittargets the key industriesimportant to New Jersey andcritical to the development ofgood paying jobs.

Under Senate bill 81, onearm of the EDA would providefinancial assistance and theother arm of the agency wouldprovide business support serv-ices, including the highestquality technical assistance,through a network of inde-pendent and expert consult-ants. New Jersey ranks lastamong its peers in productivi-ty growth within high techfirms and has lost ground toour competitor states, includ-ing Massachusetts, New Yorkand Pennsylvania, in both cor-porate sales and profitgrowth. Therefore, an impor-tant and timely part of theproposed reorganization effortwould be to encourage thedevelopment of technology-based industries.

This effort would beenhanced by the creation of anOffice of Strategic EconomicResearch charged with ana-lyzing economic, industrial,and demographic trends inthe state as well as surveyingthe state's transportation anddistribution facilities and util-ities and telecommunications

infrastructure — all servicesdesigned to assist businessesdeciding to expand, locate orrelocate their operations inNew Jersey.

Thinking in larger terms,the integration of economicdevelopment programs alsohas the potential to assisttechnology-based enterprisesthrough other programs,including a completelyrevamped export trade andinternational developmentinitiative, establishing officesabroad to deal not only withthe exports of goods and serv-ices but also intellectual prop-erty, as well as programs todevelop a "boutique" agricul-tural sector in the state thatwill be devoted to developingthe capacity to provide agri-cultural products year-round.

A newly integrated eco-nomic development programwill also provide an avenue forthe sharing of new appliedtechnologies developed in thestate with older, existing busi-nesses in need of moderniza-tion, in order that they maybetter compete in the highlycompetitive global economy.

Trenton- can no longerignore the fact that its actions— good, bad or simply negli-gent — have a direct impacton the state's marketplace.Wholesale reforms of ourstate's budget process, govern-ment contracting proceduresand economic developmentprograms are needed if NewJersey wants to remain "openfor business" in the years tocome.

4Cool jazz9 soundwill be on displayat FUMC Friday

At 7:30 p.m. Friday, the smooth sound of West Coast "cooljazz" will take the stage in another of the Friday Night Concertssummer series at the First United Methodist Church, 1 EastBroad St. in Westfield.

On hand to delight listeners of all ages will be the Tbny CilliSeptet, including Cilli, the trumpet player and band leader;Paul Grabow, valve trombone; Ron Heller, tenor saxophone; JimGiacone, baritone saxophone; Fred Fischer, piano; Bob Funesti,string bass, and Mike Walter, drums. The program will includeold standards such as "Star Eyes," "You Are Too Beautiful,""Java Junction," "Walking My Baby Back Home,'"'Let's Do It,""Ballin' The Jack" and many more from composers such asRogers and Hart, Harry Warren, Shorty Rogers and others.

The organization grew out the 17-piece "Experience BigBand," of which Cilli is also the conductor. The septet performsDixieland, blues, jazz marches and standards by the foremostWest Coast "cool jazz" arrangers, such as Marty Paich, ShortyRogers, Bob Florence, Bill Holnian, John Williams, Andre Previnand others. Their scores were written for the Dave Pell's Group,which was made up of players from the great Les Brown Band.

The West Coast "cool jazz" compositions of the late 1950swere rarely performed until a few years ago. Now, these ener-getic, airy, soft and smooth tantalizingly swinging tunes aremaking a comeback because of their "easy listening" sound.

According to Cilli, cool jazz styles can be heard in many bigband arrangements of yesteryear. After the bebop movement ofthe 1940s, the 1950s ushered in a lighter, more romantic style ofjazz called "cool." Developed mainly from the perspective ofwhite West Coast jazz musicians, cool jazz combined the melodicand swinging aspects of the earlier swing era with the harmon-ic and rhythmic developments of bebop. The roots of cool jazzcan be traced back to various earlier styles, as well as a direc-tion that trumpet player Miles Davis pursued during the late1940s.

After leaving saxophonist Charlie Parker's group in 1948,Davis became intrigued with developing new directions in jazz.He became associated with other New York musicians intent oncombining the excitement and spontaneity of bebop with lushorchestrated arrangements. A pool of musicians includingpianist John Lewis, arranger Gil Evans, and baritone saxophon-ist Gerry Mulligan contributed to the creation of the MilesDavis Nonet recordings, labeled "Birth of the Cool." Theserecordings helped spawn the creation of the "cool" movement onthe West Coast.

By the mid-1950s, with the help of Dave Brubeck, GerryMulligan, trumpeter Chet Baker and pianist Lennie Tristano,the cool movement spawned a more serious bridge between jazzand classical music called "third stream." Big bands from theswing era, including the Woody Herman and Stan Kentonorchestras, incorporated elements of the bebop and cool stylesinto their music. On the East Coast, musicians began develop-ing a jazz style that contrasted with the laid back approach.Typically more blues based and rhythmically driven than thecool style, "hard bop" would come to dominate jazz by the end ofthe 1950s.

The faculty at duCret School of Art includes some talented members of the fantasy art world.

Explore artistic fantasies at duCretSchool to offer lessons in drawing comics, sci-fi

Imagine a painting of a dragon fly-ing high in a stormy sky — a castleoff in the distance — a white wizardriding atop a winged Pegasus, aboutto meet his foe. Viewers may wonder:How does an artist do that? They'llhave a chance to find out at anupcoming program at the duCretSchool of Art.

On Saturday July 29, the Plainfieldschool will host a free Comics/Sci-Fi/Fantasy Day from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Although duCret does not special-ize in fantasy art — the school offersclasses in illustration, graphicdesign/computer graphics and fine art— three of the school's instructors,Tommy Castillo, Mark Romanoski,and William O'Connor, are award-win-ning artists within the comic book andfantasy genre.

Castillo has worked for DC Comics

on Batman, and is currently workingwith director George Romero. As afreelancer, Romanoski has worked forMagic the Gathering, DC Comics andWorld of Warcraft. O'Connor hasworked for Wizards of the Coast andon a Star Wars project for LucasFilms.

"In order to make the unbelievablebelievable, you have to base it in real-ity and follow the basic fundamentalsof drawing, painting and composition,"said Romanoski, who has taughtintroductory fantasy art classes, aswell as acrylic painting and picturemaking.

The overall theme of the day is toshow that a strong grasp of the funda-mentals is needed to excel in any artdiscipline, including comic and fanta-sy art. The day will consist of storeand toy vendors, artists, and freedrawing lessons and lectures.

Refreshments will be for sale.Famed illustrator Frank Thorne,

known for Red Sonja and many otheroriginal creations, will be appearing asthe guest of honor and will speakabout his career. Although he has notdone a comic book show in over 25years, Thorne is a strong supporter ofduCret.

The duCret School of Art is the old-est private art school in New Jerseyand will be celebrating its 80th yearthis fall. It is approved by the NJDepartment of Education and theDepartment of Labor and WorkforceDevelopment, and is accredited by theAccrediting Commission of CareerSchools and Colleges of Technology(ACCSCT).

CDF Gallery is located at168 Maplewood Ave. Theexhibit will be on view July25-Sept. 9. The featuredartists are listed below.

Terry Brewin, a Montclairresident, will be exhibitingher collection of fiin, whimsi-cal, animal sculptures. Thesetouchable art pieces are idealfor curious little handsexploring art for the firsttime. Made out of a durablefire-retardant and water-repellant material, theycome with or without fiberoptic lights, which are bothcolorful and safe. Each of thesculptures comes apart like apuzzle, which makes themeasily transportable and per-fect for shipping anywhere inthe world.

Chris Fahey ofShrewsbury will be showinghis works of oil on canvas.Fahey spent a few months atthe home of friends who lenthim a favor — rent for thesummer. This favor allowedhim to create and completethis series of works, his firstto be publicly displayed.

David Grossman, a ShortHills resident, has created amesmerizing body of work.His use of color values andclarity — lights and darks,focused and blurred — willhave viewers walking awayto view the works from a dis-tance and stepping close toexplore his use of the pas-tels. Grossman's manipula-tion of corporate logos andclassic carnival signage willmake viewers stop and real-ize there is "art" in every-thing around us.

Jean Best Marx, a lifelongNew Jersey resident whonow resides in Springfield,has a passion for life that isevident in her energeticpaintings. Though her water-colors often focus on conven-tional subjects, her impres-sionistic style emphasizesthe dramatic interplay oflight, shadow and color.Marx's work has been fea-tured in several one-womanshows and group exhibits;she has also done freelanceproduction graphics, includ-ing children's book and mag-azine illustrations and bookcover designs.

Bonnie Rapaport is a resi-dent of Manhattan with fam-ily connections to NewJersey. Her beautiful still lifepaintings bring to mind theOld Masters, and her subjectmatter, use of color, and tech-nique make for a feast forthe senses. Her educationincludes the NationalAcademy School of Fine Artand study with Gregg Kreutzat the Art Students Leagueof New York.

Barbara Straussberg, aPennsylvania resident whoalso has family ties to thearea, describes the act ofpainting as "a personal jour-ney to find out how I canmore fully express myresponse to my surround-ings. Subconsciously, I drawfrom the world around meand record in a personal lan-guage what I see and feelthrough paint. Color is myprimary form of expression,but I also rely on line, form,surfaced texture, pattern andcollage."

Joy Yagid, a Maplewoodresident, uaes photographyto capture a vivid slice of life,one frame at a time. Hercamera finds bright colorsand cool patterns; she offersviewers an intimate look intothe world with her zoomlens, showing details some-times overlooked in the rushof our everyday lives.

In addition to the Aug. 3event, CDF Gallery is open10 a.m.-6 p.m. Tuesday toSaturday, and noon-8 p.m.Thursday. Any artist inter-ested in exhibiting at CDFcan call (973) 762-5588 tomeet with owner KristaFahey.

SERZAN'S SIDE

Breakingdown theBritish OpenSPORTS EDITOR

Ever since I attended myfirst-ever professional golf tour-nament last month, the U.S.Open at Winged Foot inMamaroneck, N.Y., I havebecome a PGA Tour enthusiast.In that light, I have decided touse this week to break downthe British Open, which startstoday at Royal Liverpool inHoylake, England.

The British Open has notbeen played in Hoylake since1967, when Roberto de Vicenzooutlasted Jack Nicklaus, GaryPlayer, and Clive Clark to takethe Claret Jug (not commonknowledge). The par-72 coursehas been altered and length-ened since then and is now7258 total yards long. The2006 version features golfsbest players who will all be tak-ing their shots toward a majorchampionship win.

The safe pick to win thetournament, as it always seemsto be with juat about any PGAevent, is Tiger Woods. Thedefending British Open cham-pion is coming off an impres-sive round at the CialisWestern Open two weeks ago,where he finished in a tie forsecond place, and the last threetimes he has played in theBritish he has finished no lessthan ninth.

Colin Montgomerie willprobably be the crowd favoritecoming into the tournamentbecause he is playing on famil-iar soil (Montgomerie is fromGreat Britain). He will also bea sentimental one because ofhis unfortunate meltdown atthe U.S. Open and because hehas never won a major in hiscareer.

The player who is playingperhaps the best consistent golflately on tour is Jim Furyk.Furyk finished second at theU.S. Open and fourth at theWestern. He is currently thirdon this year's money list andwill be one to watch this week-end.

The wild card at this week'stournament will be PhilMickelson. Will we see theMickelson of the third round ofthe US. Open and the firstround of the Western or will wesee the Mickelson of that fate-ful Sunday at Winged Foot?

A traditionally weak playerat British Opens in the past(only one top ten finish in hiscareer), Mickelson will probablybe discounted by many experts.However, he has been prepar-ing for this tournament bothmentally and physically sincehe lost the US. Open. TheWestern was truly preparatoryfor Lefty, as he practiced morethan played during the eventand admitted during inter-views that he was only think-ing about Hoylake.

There will be many othergolfers with Hoylake on theirminds this weekend and thedrama should be in full forcecome Sunday. Watch for theplay on the 16th, 17th, and18th finishing holes which,with two being par-5s, couldmake or break a round or evena run for a championship.

When all is said and done,Woods is my pick to be the oneholding the Claret Jug for theBecond time in as many years.If he is on his game, he will bevery tough to catch. And basedon his finish two weeks ago atthe Western, his U.S. Open per-formance seems to be waybehind him.

If Mickelson can put thepast behind him, he will beright there to challenge Woods.My hope is that they will bothbe in the final pairing onSunday for the first time in amajor championship (how greatwould that be...the numberone and number two golfers inthe final group on the final daybattling it out to see who willbe the winner).

My excitement for the tour-nament is building just writingabout it. I wish I could be apart of it like I was at WingedFoot. However, I will definitelybe sitting back watching therounds on television.

Popular Westfield 5K to run WednesdayCORHESPONDENT

The numbers do not lie. Thereis a middle of the summer phe-nomena in Westfield. In just itsfifth year the WestfieldDowntown 5K and PizzaExtravaganza has established areputation and turnout that isthe envy of many older and moreestablished races.

The event, which runsWednesday at 7 p.m. at the cor-ner of East Broad and ElmStreets, has shown phenomenalgrowth in its first four years, andis one of the top five overall racesin New Jersey for attendance,ranking only behind theFlemington 5K among short dis-tance races.

The race is organized bySherry Cronin, ExecutiveDirector of the DowntownWestfield Corporation (DWC),and was the brainchild of AlanDeRose, an avid runner and for-

mer Chairman of the DWC, andMeg Mehorter, a formerExecutive Assistant.

"We think that we can get1800 runners with favorableconditions," said Cronin, whoattributes numerous reasons forthe runaway success.

"People love Westfield andthis race is different that manyothers. It is a night race whichthe runners respond very wellto. It brings people downtown ona night which is less busy thanother summer nights."

"In the past, it was 43 per-cent attended by residents ofWestfield and the five surround-ing towns. So it proves that thisrace has a far reach beyond theneighboring community."

After a packed start on themain streets, the course windsits way through MindowaskinPark before heading downTuttle Parkway past RooseveltSchool. The course heads downEdgewood Avenue and the two-

mile mark is on EfllnghamPlace. The last mile is an uphillstraightaway down Elm Street

However, the end of the raceonly signals the beginning of anentertaining and pallet-satisfy-ing evening. There will be a DJand live music by the MichaelCraig Band and lots and lots ofpizza. It will be a team effort ofthe downtown pizzerias andrestaurants.

Westfield's top running store,The Westfield RunningCompany, has made its mark inmany aspects of the race. The co-owners, Gene and AmandaMitchell of Franklin Lakes inBergen County, are the respec-tive men's and women's recordholders and have won two men'sand two women's titles respec-tively. They opened their sev-enth store in Westfield the dayof the 2003 race. Gene Mitchellhad finished second in 2002 and2003 but has won the past twoyears.

Runner up last year wasanother Running Companymember, Brian Harris ofClinton, who manages theWestfield store and should beamong the leaders again thisyear.

"We recognize the impor-tance of this race," said Harris."Westfield is a very good run-ning town and this is one of themost successful races around."

Harris recently won theCranford Firecracker Four Mileon July 4 and would not think ofmissing this race.

This is a pretty easy race forme to enter. There is no otherrace closer to where I work," saidHarris.

"Our store is strategicallylocated neat the beginning andend of the course, so it gives usthe opportunity to meet withand help runners before andafter the race," said Harris of thestore, located at 17 Elm Street.

Another new sponsor this

year IB Overlook Hospital ofSummit.

For the fifth straight year therace production will be handledby Mark Zenobia, of On YourMark Productions.

"He does a terrific job," saidCronin, who also mentioned theWestfield Jaycees provide manyvolunteers for distributing piz-zas. In addition, volunteers fromthe DWC, the Westfield Y, andthe Girl Scouts also assist.Businesses also support theevent by sponsoring the eventand providing promotional itemsfor the runner's bags

The first GOO registered run-ners will receive embroideredcaps and the first 1500 get T-shirte, which use a dri-fit tech-nology which retails for over $20.

The pre-registration fee is$20 and is $25 the day of therace. In addition, runners willhave plenty of pizza to eat-nomatter how long the race takesthem.

A long-time hypertensionpatient, Nicklaus, who takesALTACE® (ramipril) to helpcontrol his high blood pressure,worked with KingPharmaceuticals, Inc. andWyeth Pharmaceuticals to cre-ate the program—an initiativethat stresses the importance ofpeople age 55 and older recog-nizing the increasing risk forcardiovascular events andtalking to their doctors aboutwhat they can do to helpreduce their risk.

Entry is free with theoption of buying a $10 mulli-gan to raise money for cardio-vascular disease research andeducation.

Each member of the twowinning teams at the locallevel will win a framed litho-graph of Nicklaus' farewell atthe British Open and willbecome eligible for a day of golfactivities in West Palm Beachwith Nicklaus.

"We are thrilled with thisprogram and proud of themoney we raised last year,"said Nicklaus. "It is importantfor all of us to increase ourawareness of our heart healthand how we can take care ofour hearts."

At age 55 and older, hearthealth should be a priority.Men and women age 55 andolder are at an increased riskfor suffering a cardiovascularevent such as heart attack,stroke and even cardiovascu-lar-related death comparedwith those ages 45 to 54.Prevalence of stroke more thandoubled for men. Prevalence ofcardiovascular disease morethan doubled in women. 92% ofdeaths froin heart attack occurafter age 55,

The general public is invitedto enter locnl golf tournamentsnt participating golf coursesand will have the opportunityto donate money to The LarryKing Cardinc Foundation bypurchasing a "mulligan." Lastyear this event raised nearly$80,000, which was donated toThe Larry King CardiacFoundation.

Seven regional tourna-ments will be held in Colorado,Maryland, Virginia, NewJersey, Ohio, New York andFlorida.

Home sales are projected toease modestly in the monthsahead but should stay within arelatively narrow range over thebalance of the year, according tothe National Association ofRealtors.

David Lereah, NAR's chief econ-omist, said the market is showingsigns of stabilizing. "The majorhousing indicators have been mov-ing up and down within a reason-able range, which means the mar-ket should even-out just belowpresent levels," he said. "At thesame time, housing inventory lev-els are balanced in much of thecountry, so overall price apprecia-tion will be at a normal rate. Weshould see home sales rise and fallmonth to month, but don't look forany big shifts one way or theother."

Existing-home sales are expect-ed to decline 6.7 percent to 6.60million in 2006 from 7.08 millionlast year. That would still be thethird highest level on record. New-home sales should fall 12.8 per-

cent this year to 1.12 million from1.28 million in 2005. Housingstarts are forecast to decline 6.8percent to 1.93 million this yearfrom 2.07 million in 2005. The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage is likelyto reach 7.0 percent by the end ofthe year.

"Home sellers in mostareas understand that theperiod of abnormal pricegrowth is over, and theyhave become more realisticabout the current market.This is he/ping to ease thepressure on home prices."

— Thomas M. StevensNAR president

"The uptick in interest rateshas been slowing home sales,"Lereah said. "We remain con-cerned about the potential impactof higher interest rates in some of

Specialists offer mortgage adviceDo you know why interest rates alone

won't tell you which mortgage is best foryou? Could you confidently evaluatewhether a fixed rate loan or a hybridA.R.M. would be your wiser financialchoice? Are you more than a little fuzzyabout what a hybrid A.R.M. actually is?

Given the fact that there are more mort-gage options available than ever before,along with seemingly endless informationonline, the choices can seem mind-boggling

For those with more questions thananswers, Fred Watkins, the president ofWeichert Financial Services, offers reas-surance. "Finding the right mortgage need-n't be confusing or intimidating," Watkinssaid.

Mortgage specialists fromWeichert Financial Services serveevery Weichert, Realtors office, hesaid.

Weichert Gold ServiceManagers can arrange many typesof mortgage loan. The company'smore than 360 mortgage productsrange from traditional fixed-rateloans that offer interest rate sta-bility and predictable payments,to the newer innovative financingproducts that help people stretchtheir home buying dollars.Weichert Financial Services earli-er this year introduced a programcalled "Lock and Shop," whichallows qualified buyers concernedabout the direction that interestrates might take in the future tosecure or "lock in" a rate on a pre-approved mortgage loan beforefinding a home to purchase.

Watkins said, "We place a highvalue on personal service — thehuman touch. By listening to our

customers, we can help them select thetype of mortgage that best meets theirfinancial and personal needs."
