METUCHEN—The Brothersof the Sacred Heart-* Catholiconjer founded in Lyons, Franceon Sept 30, 1821 with the mis*sion of educating poor chil-dren-celebrate 100 years sincetheir establishment in Metuchen.Concurrently, St. Joseph HighSchool, a college preparatoryschool owned and operated by theBrothers, will commemorate the40th anniversary of its foundationby breaking ground on a $7.5 mil-lion expansion project, the first inthe school's history.

In 1901, the Brothers selectedthe Metuchen location because itserved as a central hub for theBrothers of the Sacred Heart, as itwas strategically situated betweenthe two North American prov-inces, New Orleans, Louisianaand Quebec City, Quebec. Thefacility was originally used as aNovitiate-a facility, which pro-vides the final stage of training fornovice brothers-with an adjacentfarm and vineyard to support thereligious community. Today,1,300 members of the Brothers ofSacred Heart serve as educatorsand missionaries throughout theworld. The Brothers in Metuchenevolved with the changing land-scape of New Jersey yet remaindedicated to the Order's educa-tional mission. As the surround-ing community grew, the Brothersof the Sacred Heart founded St.Joseph High School in 1961 toprovide an educational option for

young men offering Catholic, sec-ondary-level training. St. JosephHigh School provides an inten-sive curriculum in math, scienceand liberal arts as well as reli-gious instruction, striving todevelop students to their fullestpotential.

The "Building for the NextCentury** $7.5 million campaignwill finance the expansion proj-ect, which will include new sci-ence and computer laboratories, amedia center, a new athletic facil-ity tod new classroom and admin-istrative office space. Since theoriginal school building wasdesigned to accommodate 700students, following the expansionproject, the student body at St.Joseph High School will remainconstant to a maximum of 800matriculated students.

"This project is necessary toprovide more classroom space aswell as to modernize our facilitieswith respect to science, technolo-gy and athletics in order to contin-ue providing a first-rate educationconsistent with today's competi-tive academic standards,** saidBrother Joseph Holthaus, S.C.

St. Joseph High School existsto provide a college preparatory,liberal arts education for youngmen. In response to the gospelmessage of hope, the teachings ofthe Catholic Church and the tradi-tions of the Brothers of the SacredHeart, the school desires to meetthe needs and promote the devel-

opment of each individual. gious truths and academic prin-Tne goal of a St. Joseph grad- ciples, and readiness to assume

uate is to obtain a sense of self- the challenges and responsibili-esteem, an integration of reli- ties of adult Christian life.

• Stock prices have gottenmore volatile in recent years,necessitating increased portfoliodiversification to compensate.The good news is that employerplans increasingly include moreinvestment options: an average of

ReportFromTr&nton

The terrorist attacks at theWorld Trade Center, thePentagon and in westernPennsylvania have left allAmericans united, angry and alittle numb. In the first few daysafter the attack we wereabsorbed in the ever breakingnews coverage. Most regulartelevision programming waspre-empted.

Now most of that has sub-sided. The news cycle is almostback to normal. The season oftelevision premiers has almostgone back to normal (except ifyou're a fan of West Wing.)Everything is almost back tonormal. Except us.

As a nation we're O.K. Oureconomy took a little shot, butthe stock market is recovering.Yes, there were a lot of layoffsin the airline and travel industry,but as a percentage of the over-ail economy it's only a blip.

But we're all affected. Notjust by our acquaintances withvictims or families of victims.We are all touched by this issome unexplained way. We*remore subdued. Less happy.More anxious. And the expertsall say that's to be expected aftersuch a large tragedy.

We all feel the need to help.To do something in response tothis tragedy. While we all can'tgo to ground zero and helpsearch the wreckage for victims,there are things we can all do.

We can give time. Of all theways to help, volunteering yourtime may be the hardest to do.We all have commitments andobligations, but the hundreds ofrescue workers that rushed toscene had them too. If we couldall give just a few hours helpingout our local organizations byanswering the phones or organ-izing donations, we can help thefamilies of victims tremendous-.ly. You can contact theMiddlesex County VolunteerCenter at 732-247-3727 forways you can volunteer yourtime.

We can give blood. Whentragedy struck, thousands ofpeople rushed to hospitals andclinics to give blood. Many peo-ple waited on line for hours onlyto be sent away because therewas not enough staff to handlethe volume of donors. Bloodwill continue to be needed in theweeks and months to come. Youcan make an appointment todayfor a few weeks from now to

give blood. You can givemoney. Sometimes donatingmoney can be a strain on thewallet. But even small dona-tions can have an impact. If youare able, there are plenty ofplaces that you can donatemoney that will aid the reliefefforts for the victims of theSeptember 11 th terrorist attacks.Just to name a few, the RedCross, the Salvation Army, andthe United Way have beenworking around the clock togather supplies for victims andfor rescue workers. You can alsodonate money to funds that willdirectly aid the families of res-cue workers who were killed inthe line of duty on September1).

The New York Firefighters 9-li Disaster Relief Fund willdirectly aid the families of thefirefighters who died or wereinjured as a result of terroristattacks on New York City. Theycan be reached online atwww.iaff.org. New York Cityhas also started a Twin TowersFund that will aid all uniformedand government officials,including police officers andcourt officers, who died onSeptember 11. They can bereached at 1-877-870-4278.

You can give yourself. Whathappened on September 11thcan be very confusing and scaryto children. Parents and teachersshould reassure children thatyou will help keep them safe.Let them know that America isas strong as ever and we willovercome this horrible tragedy,but most importantly, let themknow they*re safe. That theycan still go out and play and thatyou will be there for them. It isalso extremely important toteach children and remind eachother that America has manydifferent races, creeds, and skincolors. We do not all look thesame. We must teach and pro-mote tolerance for those wholook differently.

On September 11th hatredinflicted a wound on America.While our nation should rightlyseek justice for these horribleacts, we should focus our effortsagainst the people and nationsthat perpetrated this attack andnot merely against people ornations because of where theyare or how they look.

America stands united in thewake of this horrible attack.And that is a testament to ournational motto, E PluribusUnum, or Out of Many, One.

Schundler Toctics Are DispicableThe blatant effort by Bret Schundler to use the Sept. 11 terrorist attack to advance his campaign for

governor is truly despicable (see story on page 3).For one who was not even in the area at the time of the attack to mete out criticism of those who

handled the crisis, Schundler showed he has little sensitivity. In addition to the thousands of workerswho lost their lives at the World Trade Center, hundreds of firefighters and police died trying to evac-uate the buildings.

Criticizing the efforts of those who gave their lives, others who were prepared to make that sacri-fice, and such leaders as acting Gov. Donald DiFrancesco and Mayor Rudolph Guiliani, is stupid andwrong.

Adding insult to injury, Schundler is trying to capitalize on the worst terrorist attack in Americanhistory to fuel a campaign that has floundered because many New Jerseyans see the Republican as an•xtremist.

Schundler's aides have defiantly defended these actions, instead of recognizing that their candidatemade serious mistakes.

These tactics may cost Schundler the election, and they should.

STATE — At a time whenparents and educators are in-creasingly concerned aboutschool safety, computer hack-ers have found school websitesto be an easy target for postingviolent threats. To fight thistrend, Senator Robert G. Torri-celli recently introduced the

School Website ProtectionAct, which would make it afederal crime to hack intoschool websites and comput-ers.

The legislation was devel-oped after Senator Torricelliread news reports of an inci-dent mat occurred last yearwhen a hacker posted a threatreferencing the 1999 schoolshooting at Columbine High

School in Colorado on thewebsite of the Lumberton, NJschool district. Just as disturb-ing was the fact than an inves-tigation into the incident con-cluded that no action could betaken against the hackers whoposted the threat since they didnot cause at least $5,000 in

To correct this loophole, theSchool Website Protection Actwould make it illegal for any-one to tamper with the websiteor computer of any public orprivate school, regardless ofthe cost of the damages, andimpose a maximum penalty ofone year in prison and a mon-etary fine to be determined.
