By Harry Trumbore of The Item Millburn Police Officer Gino Baldani has been found guilty of departmental charges for attempt- ing to interfere with an internal police investigation by threatening and bullying another officer. The ruling by Millburn Town- ship Business Administrator Timo- thy Gordon comes nearly three years after more than 80 police officers packed Town Hall for a public disciplinary hearing for Bal- dani presided over by Gordon. Although he recommended a five-day suspension, Gordon noted that because so much time had elapsed since the infractions occurred, he would suspend imple- mentation of the sentence. On Tuesday, Baldani’s attorney, Patrick P. Toscano, Jr., called the verdict absurd and said the verdict was the latest round of intimida- tion aimed at his client, who is president of the local chapter of the Policeman’s Benevolent Associa- tion. Toscano also noted the verdict will not stop Baldani from pursu- ing a lawsuit against the township filed a year and a half after the hearing asking $750,000 in dam- ages. “Gino’s life has been held in abeyance,” Toscano said. “His career was stymied as long as (Gordon) didn’t render a decision.” Toscano noted that Gordon’s failure to render a verdict, leaving open an internal affairs investiga- tion, effectively denied Baldani from professional advancement. “They told him, ‘You will never be a detective because you are head of the PBA and too outspo- ken,’” the attorney said. Gordon told The Item of Mill- burn and Short Hills Tuesday after- noon that he would not comment on his decision because Baldani’s lawsuit is still in litigation. The charges stem from an inci- dent in November 2005 when Officer Timothy Burns reported to Capt. Gregory Weber that another officer, Patrolman Edward Blazin- ski, had loaded personal software on the computer of his patrol car. During the public hearing, held March 31, 2006, Burns testified Baldani called him at home and yelled at him for getting Blazinski in trouble. Burns went on to POLICE Cop ruling comes after 3-year wait SEE BALDANI, PAGE A3 By Harry Trumbore of The Item Likening the budget for the 2009-10 school year to a battleship turning to a new direction in churning seas, Board of Education member Jeffrey Waters said Mon- day night there will be a 2 percent increase in the general fund. The budget includes $76.375 million to support the day-to-day expenses, including teacher salaries and classroom supplies — a rise of 1.89 percent over the 2008- 09 budget. While the community has expressed a desire for the board to be fiscally responsible, Waters said, “the community does not want a budget to affect education.” Waters’ comments came during the board’s meeting at Deerfield School as residents were given their first look at how the 2009-10 budget is shaping up. Waters said the proposed bud- get will draw on the excess operat- ing surplus, about $3 million, over a two-year period. Just over $1 million will provide teachers with funding to add a new teaching team at the middle school. “There’s a population bulge in the middle school, and we’re com- mitted to alleviating it,” Waters said. However, he cautioned that there will be cuts in personnel. “The net head count reduction will be in the mid- to high-single digits,” he said. To find economies during harsh economic times, Waters said, “We will have to be vigilant all day, every day.” Superintendent of Schools Richard Brodow echoed Waters’ sentiments. He said there would be a 50 percent reduction in working hours for aides and an elimination of benefits to aides. An internship instructor and four elementary school teaching positions are being eliminated as well and a visual and performing arts supervisor position will be left unfilled. Resident Jeffrey Diecidue con- gratulated the board on coming in with a budget that was essentially flat, but asked if there were any places where there could be further cuts. “You can always cut something else,” Waters said. He said the bud- get process was ongoing and that board members would keep a close eye on expenditures. “Just because we budget money doesn’t mean we need to spend it,” he said. BOARD OF EDUCATION Budget growth held to 2 percent By Erin Patricia Griffiths Of The Item The stress of the current state of the economy is undoubtedly weighing on the minds of nearly every American, with the United States Department of Labor reporting national unemployment increasing from 7.3 percent in Jan- uary to 8.1 percent in February and the Mortgage Bankers Associa- tion’s most recent National Delin- quency Survey showing that approximately 12 percent of Amer- ican homeowners with mortgages were in foreclosure or at least one month late with payments at the end of 2008. In New Jersey, the rates for unemployment have steadily increased from 6.1 percent in November to 7.1 percent in December and to 7.3 percent in January. With the rising number of job losses and declining housing prices, falling between 15-20 per- cent in every county for the past three and half years, township res- idents may be feeling the anxiety of the recession, but appear to be weathering the storm. According to the Essex County Sheriff’s Department’s records, the number of foreclosures in Millburn decreased from two in 2007 to one in 2008, and there has been one since the first of the year. In Short Hills, there were none in2007, two in 2008, and there are again no foreclosures since the beginning of the year to date. Other neighboring Essex Coun- ty towns have seen increases in foreclosures with Montclair’s fig- ures jumping from 11 in 2007 to 26 in 2008 and reporting 17 to date this year. “I don’t believe that there is any- thing that hasn’t been affected by the economy,” said Karen Bigos, a realtor with Towne Realty Group of Short Hills. “Short Hills, in any other decline, was a community that did not fall as far or as fast as other areas and it tended to recov- er better and more quickly than some other areas. But there is no question that prices are down.” Despite the decrease in housing prices, the township market is holding steady with 23 properties under contract and 107 on multi- ple listing, ranging in price from REAL ESTATE Holding steady despite declining economic times STAFF PHOTO BY JIM CONNELLY Seniors Mike Esposito, Nathan Rudd and Danny Kirschner, from left, lead the Millburn High School boys track team on a warm- up run during Friday afternoon’s season-opening practice.

A general fund tax levy of slightly more than $69 million is expected in the proposed budget for 2009-10, which was unveiled to the public at Monday night’s Board of Education meeting at Deerfield School. Superintendent of Schools Richard Brodow told The Item of Millburn and Short Hills Fri- day that a number of aides who currently work full time in kindergarten, the library and elsewhere in the schools will have their positions reduced to part time without benefits. In addition, a number of aides will lose their jobs, he said. Special education aides, who are hired to fulfill specific stu- dents’ Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) will not be affected by this, the superintendent explained.

they did; the group grew to about12 before the session was done.The theater holds a free Con-
versation Series on Thursdays foreach of the season’s plays. Theystart at 6:30 p.m., an hour beforethe 7:30 performance, with mem-bers of the artistic and educationdepartments giving the publicsome background on the produc-tion.Actors might be rehearsing dur-
ing the talks, or perhaps the stagedécor is being put into place,explained a few faithful who keeptheir Thursday nights open toattend them.For the first “Master Class” dis-
cussion, the set was already up,and Hoebee gestured to the intri-cate red-tinged walls that aremeant to move the eye inward toa central point – opera diva MariaCallas, who is portrayed by Bar-bara Walsh.In the play, Callas teaches a
mythic master class in front of theaudience, Hoebee said.He explained the play is partly
based on fact. Callas, who felt hervoicewas starting to fail, went intoan early retirement and taughtmaster classes at the JuilliardSchool for a year. The classes wereeventually taught in front of thepublic. “Master Class”was inspiredby playwright Terrence McNally’snotes after viewing one of theclasses.Callas, whose affair with Aristo-
tle Onassis was a favorite topic oftabloids in the 1960s and 70s, diedby age 53. “They say she died of abroken heart,” Hoebee said.The artistic director said the play
is small but demanding. DirectorWendy C. Goldberg is staying in ahouse on Brookside Drive ownedby the PaperMill andworking latehours. The house has “cable andhome and all the comforts ofhome,” he said, and is where LynnRedgrave stayed during “TheImportance of Being Earnest.”Hoebee told the public that the
show requires amusical director aswell as a language coach to ensureWalsh feels comfortable breakinginto French, Italian andGerman.Although the play is not techni-
cally a musical, the audience canexpect some opera singing to inter-rupt the “class.” “It bridges the gapbetween amusical and a play,” saidHoebee.The director chose Alexander
Dodge, who worked on sets for“The Importance of BeingEarnest,” to do the sets for “MasterClass.”“We had a connection with
Alexander. He knew the space,”
said Hoebee.Although he said he was wor-
ried about possible scheduling con-flicts at first, the staff was able tobrainstorm for two sets at oncewith Dodge.As the crowd shuffled out –
some to hunt down their seats forthe upcoming performance – anumber said they were glad theycame.
Residents can attend Conversa-tion Series events at 6:30 tonight oron subsequent Thursdays March12, 19, 26 and April 2.“Sometimes it’s better than the
show, and it makes the show bet-ter,” an area resident said. “We canask anything we want.”

testify Baldani threatened himwith expulsion from the PBA,whose members would no longersupport him in his duties.Baldani, for his part, admitted
he yelled at Burns, but added hewas unaware Burns had orders toreport outside the regular chain ofcommand directly to Weber.When he and Weber spoke of theincident several days later, Baldanisaid Weber threatened him if hepursued PBA sanctions againstBurns.Baldani also testified he had
seen Burns install illegal softwareon police computers and sell bicy-cles and parts over the computer.Weber said Burns had installedtemporary software under hisorders. However, during cross-
examination, Toscano challengedthe captain’s assertion that he haddiligently investigated Baldani’sclaims.The township filed a prelimi-
nary notice of disciplinary actionagainst Baldani and Baldani filedan unfair labor practice against thetownship.Toscano maintained that Gor-
don was required to render a ver-dict within 30 days of the hearing.However, in his decision, which
is dated Feb. 27, 2009 and wasreceived by Baldani at his homeFriday, Gordon states, “Althoughthe hearing was held March 31,2006, the delay in this decisionwas due to the fact that the town-ship misplaced the hearing tapes.These were only recently discov-ered by the township.”To counter that assertion,
Toscano provided The Itemwith areceipt that shows Baldani
requested copies of the hearingtranscript in early October 2008and received both compact discsand a written transcript of thehearing on Oct. 23, 2008.That any decision is now being
made using these transcripts iswrong, Toscano said, because the“chain of custody” of the internalaffairs material has been broken.In the attorney’s office Tuesday,
Baldani said he received the deci-sion by certified mail Friday. Hesaid neither his attorney nor Mill-burn Police Chief David Barberreceived a copy of the decision.Gordon later told The Item he
believed a copy of the decision hadbeen sent to Toscano by an attor-ney for the municipality’s insur-ance provider.“The only person who has to
receive it is Gino,” Gordon said.Toscano also said Gordon lied
in an affidavit to the federal district
court when he wrote that Baldanihas never filed a notice of tortclaim with the township. He pro-vided The Itemwith a copy of Bal-dani’s March 2007 Notice ofClaim against the township,stamped as received by Gordon’soffice at Town Hall.Baldani said he attempted to file
a complaint against Gordon forimproper conduct at police head-quarters Saturday.According to Baldani, the offi-
cer in charge, after conferringwiththe Essex County Prosecutor’sOffice, toldBaldani he couldn’t filea police report.“If hewants to file a complaint,”
Toscano said, “they have to take acomplaint. They wouldn’t eventake a police report in support of acomplaint.”“In 15 years on the force,” Bal-
dani said, “I’ve never seen anyoneturned away.”

Answering concerns of a differ-ent kind, Waters made the pointthat construction at the secondaryschools is nearly complete. Thereare no projects that are beingaffected by the budget cuts and thebudget does not jeopardize main-tenance of the buildings.Despite the cutbacks, teacher
salaries are budgeted to rise almost
7 percent and employee benefitswill rise almost 10 percent from thebudget for the current school year.Tax implications for residentswerenot part of the meeting’s budgetpresentation. However, the boardwill hold a special meeting Mon-day to present the full budget. Thebudget also will be a topic at theregular board meeting scheduledfor Monday, March 23.A public hearing on the budget
will be held Tuesday, March 31.All of the above meetings will
begin at 7:45 p.m. at theEducationCenter.In other board businessMonday
night, Program Committee Chair-woman Janet Landau reported thata search committee is expected byMarch 23 to narrow down themore than 30 applicants for theopen position of assistant superin-tendent for curriculumand instruc-tion to seven candidates. Theboard hopes that by March 31,Landau said, Brodow will havepared that number down to two
candidates andwill be ready to rec-ommend one to the board.Landau also responded to the
author of a letter published in TheItem of Millburn and Short Hillswho questioned the heavy home-work load some children areassigned. “Itwas a constructive let-ter,” she said. The amount of home-work is an ongoing issue of con-cern to the board, she added.“It’s the kind of thing we take seri-ously and will be looked into,”Landau said.

Principal William Miron. Alongwith the vice principal, he said hewill pick up observation duties forthe art department.“Obviously we would prefer to
have a full-time supervisor, butwith the economy the way it is wecan’t do that,” said the superinten-dent. He expressed confidencethat the teachers will rise to thechallenge.Finance Committee Chairman
Jeffrey Waters explained that ifthere is natural attritionwithin theschools – such as retirements –consolidation of positions will beexplored within and beyondthe budget season.Assistant Superintendent for
Business Robert Zeglarski toldThe Item some administrators
made a good case for additionalstaff.Director of Buildings and
Grounds John Van Teeckelen-burgh, for instance, had requestedan additional custodian for each ofthe two new additions to the mid-dle and high schools.The budget will not support
these requests, Zeglarski said, butVan Teeckelenburgh is devising aplan tomaintain the facilitieswith-out additional personnel.Another case for consolidation
may be the integration ofMillburnHigh School’s internship programwith the main functions of theguidance department.The superintendent said the
position of a full-time transitioncoordinator, whose job descriptionis to seek internship placementsfor high school students during theschool year, may be eliminated.Miron said reconfiguring
internship placements into guid-ance is a delicate situation, as seek-ing placements is a “big-time com-mitment” and the right fit must befound for students so they are suc-cessful in their placements.A Program Committee report
stated there has been discussionabout consolidating the MHSInternship Program into the mainfunctions of the guidance depart-ment. Brodow said a decision isyet to come about issues pertain-ing to the summer internship pro-gram.The superintendent said other
opportunities for consolidationwithin the district are being lookedinto, but some of the plans are notfinalized and cannot yet beannounced.According to Waters and
Zeglarski, in the 2009-10 budgetless than a handful of new highschool teachers will be hired and a
staff reduction will be seen at theelementary school level. Nineteachers to complete two teachingteams for the seventh and eighthgradewill be hired to address largeclass sizes, they added. The tenthteacher is already working at themiddle school. The Finance Com-mittee members spoke of a zero-base approach used in formulatingthe budget.“In other words, we start from
scratch,” Waters explained.In response to a suffering econ-
omy, said Zeglarski, no more isplanned to be spent on suppliesthanwas budgeted for the 2007-08school year. Supplies range frombasic classroom materials to cus-todial and maintenance equip-ment and office supplies.Scrutiny will be employed if
there are requests for new teachersduring the academic year, theofficials said.

$199,000 to $4.3 million.“There are somany reasons that
people want to buy,” said Bigos.“Prices have leveled off and aremuch more affordable now thanthey were years ago. It is reallyabout how long people are plan-ning to be in the house,” saidBigos.“Long term, real estate has gener-ally been a good investment.”It isn’t just the affordabilitywith-
in the housing market or depend-
ability for long-term investmentthat Bigos attributes to the contin-uing stability of the township’s realestate. “We are seeing a tremen-dous number of houses sell in thisarea,” she said. “There are still peo-ple who want to commute to thecity, still want to enjoy a goodschool system.”For those that are in a position
to buy, the current state of themar-ket is in their favor, withmany sell-ers looking to accommodateprospective buyers to make thesale. “Interest rates are low andthere are lots of sellerswhoneed to
sell and are very realistic. There aresome really good deals to be had,”said Bigos.Some sellers have taken to offer-
ing bonuses, tax incentives, realtorincentives, and even one home-owner is offering a “swap op” inwhich if the sale of the propertyto a perspective buyer wouldbe contingent upon the sale ofthat individual’s property, theoption to switch homes would beavailable.Althoughoptimismandpositive
figures are represented in the cur-rentmarket in the township, Bigos
and partner Daniel Cannizzo cau-tion residents to not overextendingthemselves. “Whatwe recommendsellers do is talk to their financialadvisors and get a clear picture ofwhat their income is. They reallyneed to do an income/lifestyleevaluation,” said Bigos.Bigos andCannizzo feel that for
many, however, despite theincreasingly desperate economictimes the country finds itself inpresently, the desire to work, ownproperty, and support a family isat the heart of what so manyAmericans hope for.

‘Our community seems to be pushing allstudents to themost extreme level, rewarding
a small minority of overachievers to thedetriment of the rest.’
David DantoReeve Circle
Back inMarch 2006whenwe sat in on a public disciplinaryhearing for Millburn Police Officer Gino Baldani, wedescribed the affair to watching cousins squabble at a familygathering.Today, we look at it in a different light.Because it has taken three years for the township’s business
administrator, TimothyGordon, to render a verdict in the case,the stakes are considerably higher and it is no longer afamily feud, but a potential liability to the municipality.Baldani, who is accused of improper conduct because he
reportedly threatened another officer during an in-houseinvestigation, waited a year and a half for a verdict beforefiling a lawsuit against the township for $750,000.The delay in rendering a verdict, according to Baldani’s
attorney, denied the officer a chance at promotion as wellcausing damage to his reputation.When asked over the years what was the delay in making
a decision, the business administrator often cautioned that weweren’t familiar with the procedures that have to be followed.Well, we do have an idea of what is reasonable. And send-
ing Baldani a decision three years later is not.Now we are told a verdict was delayed because the tapes
of the hearing were misplaced and were recently found.That’s negligence.Wherewere they?Whohad them all this
time?What’s more, Baldani apparently applied for a copy of the
transcript of his hearing this past October and received notonly the written record, but audio records of his hearing aswell.Even if the municipality found them in October, why did it
take until the end of February for a decision to be written?We havemixed feelings about thewhole affair andwhether
Baldani was in the right or in the wrong with his actions.Nonetheless, his treatment by the municipal government
since his hearing has been shabby and smacks of personalretaliation.
What was thebig holdup?

M-MACurgingparentalinvolvementEditor, The Item:Heightened township aware-
ness regarding teen alcohol anddrug use in addition to conversa-tions regarding recent events hasbrought the mission and goals ofM-MAC, the Millburn MunicipalAlliance Committee, to the fore-front.M-MAC is a community-based
organization comprised of par-ents, teachers, school administra-tors and representatives from theMillburn Police Department,township government and com-munity service groups with themission to be raise awareness andstress the risks of underage drink-ing and drug use. Through parentand student education programsthat we fund, such as SafeHomes,15 Minute Child-Break, Red Rib-bonWeek, PEER leaders in themiddle and high schools, theHigh School Human RelationsForum and DARE, we focus onprevention education and provideinformation and tools for studentsand parents alike.Creating a solution begins with
acknowledging that a problemexists. Dialogue and collabora-tions with key township leadersand school officials have begun.Now it is up to us as parents tomake efforts to provide appropri-ate supervision and direction forteens as they seek increased inde-pendence from us. Parents needto parent and set rules and expec-tations for teens, and conse-quences need to be apparent,consistent and reinforced.We agree with Superintendent
of Schools Richard Brodow andMillburn High School PrincipalWilliamMiron in their letter tothe editor in the March 5 editionof The Item, “Enough is Enough.”There is nothing more importantthan the safety of our children.M-MAC strives to help our chil-dren understand the risks associ-ated with alcohol and drug useand provide them with alternativeactivities and the confidence andsupport they need to make smartchoices. While M-MAC fundssupport many programs in ourschools and community, whichhighlight drug awareness andoffer our children refusal skills
and good, clean fun, we also holdmonthly meetings during theschool year to provide education-al opportunities and dialogue forparents.Our next meeting will be held
on Tuesday at noon at the Mill-burn Free Public Library. The fea-tured speaker will be Pam Fisch-er, director of the state Division ofHighway Traffic Safety, who willspeak about teen driving, risksassociated with lowering thedrinking age and the impact onteen safety. We welcome yourinvolvement and hope we canwork together.For more information, visit the
M-MACWeb site at 5 or e-mailus at [email protected] discussion about the
harmful effects and consequencesof underage drinking and druguse cannot stop at the schooldoor. Talk with your child aboutalcohol and drugs. A clear andconsistent message at school andat home that underage usage isdangerous and unacceptable willclearly reinforce a child’s abilityto make healthy decisions. Let’sall play a role in the solution.Let’s help our smart kids stopmaking dumb decisions.

Put down thehomework, takeback the eveningEditor, The Item:I read with interest the Gina
Milano’s letter published in lastweek’s edition of The Item regard-ing the homework given in theMiddle andHigh School. Mymid-dle school children are doingworkI did not receive until my first yearin college. They spend hours onweeknights and over theweekendstrying to complete these over-achieving assignments to the detri-ment of the family unit, sleep, com-munity service, social growth andmany other things.During my school experience
the classes were taught to a medi-an level. Those with difficultieswere offered help to catch-up,thosewho excelledwere presented
with more challenging opportuni-ties. Our community seems to bepushing all students to the mostextreme level, on the surfacerewarding a smallminority of over-achievers to the detriment of therest. However, I do agree with thepoint that this overachievementdeprives even these few with thegrowth as a person they should beexperiencing. The emperor trulyhas no clothes here.Over the years I have advocated
inmy household theminority viewthat “homework stops at 8 p.m.”Anything that requires more timethan that should be covered inschool. It is an argument I alwayslose – as we do not want to upsetthe educational professionals andhave our children appear lessmoti-vated than the rest. What a relief itwould be to find out that ourwhole community is strugglingwith these same demands on ouryouth and that we start a drive to“take back the evenings andweek-ends.” Perhaps your publicationcould coordinate a poll?

Aplace onthe committee?No thanks!Editor, The Item:I always read the editorials in
The Item with great interest, but Ifeel themost recent, suggesting res-idents join the proposed down-town “revitalization” committees,to be somewhat off the mark. Letme explain why.As a resident who is already
exhausted from attending numer-ous Township Committee andPlanning Board meetings on thedebacle that was the redevelop-ment plan, sending in a letter to beconsidered, possibly, for a spot onone of the revitalization commit-tees is as welcoming an opportuni-ty as getting a root canal.That is because of, in my
opinion, the high level ofredevelopment partisanship thatseems already built in to theprocess.Township Committeeman Dan
Baer has been a tireless advocateand proponent of downtown rede-velopment in his time on theCom-mittee, going so far as to assert his
25 years of planning experience inan opinion piece castigating a for-mer TownshipCommitteememberfor questioning redevelopment’sbenefits. Baer has a right to hisopinions and advocacy, but do weneed someone so partisan to runwhat is supposed to be a fully openand objective look at downtownimprovement options?Ditto for the inclusion of the
Chamber of Commerce and theDMDA. At one Township Com-mittee I attended I heard the headof the Chamber express the cham-ber’s support for redevelopment,and the DMDA even came upwith their own proposed redevel-opment plans which they present-ed to Township Committee mem-bers. Wouldn’t it be better, if youtruly wanted a “bottom up”process, to let the residents makethe findings, then give these orga-nizations the opportunity to com-ment on them and express anyconcerns instead?I amnot against development in
every form and do believe com-mercial property owners should beable to benefit from the propertiesthey own just like residential prop-erty owners. But after all the timeand money wasted on redevelop-ment over the past several years Iwould appreciate it if those in thetownship who want redevelop-ment try to bring it in through thefront door, rather than through,again, in my opinion, the backdoor of “revitalization” committeesor perhaps, re-zoning.By front door, Imean the demo-
cratic process of having a referen-dum on whether residents wantredevelopment or not. This makesa lot more sense than squanderingresidents’ time in trench combatover redevelopment in “revitaliza-tion” committees.Or squandering more resident
monies on planners and the like,especially when people inour community are losing theirjobs or encountering economichardship.Perhaps the newmajority on the
Township Committee will musterthe political will to do so. If not, Isadly see just more of the con-tentiousness that the editor, by urg-ing residents to participate in “revi-talization” committees, wants thecommunity to avoid.

Since the passage of the federaleconomic stimulus bill, focus hasshifted from arguing about its mer-its and flaws to figuring out howmuch money each state will get!New Jersey stands to gain a greatdeal, but just how those funds areused will determine how “green”our state’s gains really are.To promote the stimulus pack-
age, the Obama Administrationpushed for “shovel-ready” projectsto create jobs in the short term.“Shovel-ready” is normally not ahappy term for conservationists!Sowhen fast-tracked infrastructureprojects are proposed, it’s time topay attention.Transportation can offer a big
opportunity. Although New Jer-sey’s recent transportation priori-ties have been less damaging to theenvironment than in the past, pro-posed new roads and wideningprojectsmay increase dramaticallyas a result of the stimulus funds.Here are three recommendationsmade by New Jersey Future toensure thewisest spending of stim-ulus dollars:
■ Fix-it-first: Before addinghighway lanes – which studiesshow create as many traffic prob-lems as they solve – start by fixingour existing roads and bridges. Astudy commissioned after the col-lapse of the I-90 bridge in Min-neapolis found thatmore than 700New Jersey bridges were eitherstructurally deficient or functional-ly obsolete.
■ Invest in “greener” modes of
transportation: Big price tags oftensquash work on expanded publictransportation options. But state-of-the-art public transportation isessential for this crowded statewe’re in. Better public transporta-tion is critical to curing our addic-tion to oil and reducing air pollu-tion. Plus, an expanded, safer bicy-cle and pedestrian path systemwillmake these greener transportationoptions more attractive.
■ Promote redevelopment: Thisis “fix-it-first” for land. Among allthe states, New Jersey has the high-est percentage of developed land.Stimulus dollars should be used toredevelop areas that already haveroads, sewers, etc., rather than con-tinuing our sprawl patterns intofarms and fields.Some of the stimulus package is
more “traditional” green. Forexample, theU.S. Fish andWildlifeService will receive $280 millionfor habitat restoration and otheractivities on public lands. TheNat-ural Resources Conservation Ser-vice will get $290 million forwatershed infrastructure improve-ments, including preserving andrestoring floodplains. And theU.S.Forest Service will receive $650million for projects, including trailsand ecosystem enhancements.Some of these funds will trickledown into New Jersey.TheU.S. Environmental Protec-
tion Agency is slated to receive$7.22 billion for water quality andwastewater infrastructure,stormwater mitigation, water orenergy efficiency improvements orother environmentally innovativeprojects.As our state looks for ways to
spend its funds, the three principles
set out by New Jersey Future canbe distilled to one core value:Spend the money to provide thebest return for the future. In oth-er words, “spend it sustainably!”For example, investment in energyefficiency lowers costs far into thefuture, making sure taxpayers get acontinuing return.This is a principle individual tax-
payers can use too. The stimuluspackage renews and expands taxincentives for energy conservation.For example, the maximum feder-al tax incentive you can get forinstalling energy efficientwindows,insulation and appliances hasincreased from $500 to $1,500.And the $2,000 cap on the deduc-tion for solar systems has beenremoved, allowing taxpayers todeduct a full 30 percent of the cost.These kinds of energy efficiencyupgrades provide home and busi-ness owners with long-term sav-ings.The final “green” tally will take
some time to develop, but onething is clear. All of us – fromGov.Corzine to the average citizen –have a voice and a say in how thefunds are spent. Contact your leg-islators and urge them to spendNew Jersey’s stimulus dollars wise-ly and help New Jersey’s environ-ment and energy efficiency.For more information about

Maria Callas, the opera legendturned teacher of “Master Class,”doesn’t ask much of herstudents.Merely that they bare their
soul, rip the audience’s heartsand their own nerves to shreds,summon the courage of Hercules,sound the depths of the dramaback to Shakespeare and theancient Greeks, embodyabsolute truth and absolute beauty,channel all the great singers whohave come before while stillremaining uniquely themselves,and enunciate.After all, she could do it.The humor in Terrence McNal-
ly’s lively 1995 play, now in a first-rate revival at Paper Mill Play-house, is in the contrast betweenthis F-5 tornado of a woman andthe bland, ordinary students in herclass.They just want to sing better.One sign that directorWendyC.
Goldberg has done her job well isthat the production draws the audi-ence in, rather than coming outafter them. It demands, as Callasdemands of her students, that welean in and pay close attention tothe goings-on at a Juilliard recitalhall, where the prickly retired divais teaching one ofher classes to a clutch of terrifiedtyros.In one exceptional moment, we
are simply invited to watch thechanging expressions on studentLauren Worsham’s face, as shebegins to register - under Callas’direction - the rapid shifts of emo-tion in a Verdi aria. It’s a small act-ing tour de force.A neat irony ofMcNally’s play is
that the master craftsman is theonly one who does not sing. Wehear some old Callas recordings asbackground, but her only onstagesinging is one brief operatic passage
ending in a squawk (the play takesplace in 1971, when Callas washaving vocal troubles).But as Callas herself notes,
singing is only a small partof a diva’s equipment. And theproof of the pudding is the play:Despite some well-sung Pucciniand Verdi arias by the threestudents played by Worsham,Sarah Uriarte Berry and MikeMcGowan, and well-executedby piano accompanist AndrewGerle, it is the non-singingCallas, played with brittle com-mand byBarbaraWalsh,who rulesthe stage.Walsh has this character down:
the brusque, purposeful move-ments, the barbed remarks utteredthrough smiling, clenched teeth, thelittle “Ehs?” that are like whip-cracks. She is absurd andmagnetic,compelling and off-putting. Andwhen she dreams of the past, andset designer Alexander Dodge’shandsome wood-paneled recitalhall is transformed intoLaScala onopening night, she is a bit magnifi-cent as well.The cult of the artist, which
“Master Class” both celebrates andsends up, is central to McNally’s(“Love! Valour! Compassion!”)comedy-drama.Artists, as we know, are sup-
posed to be tempestuous peopleleading dramatic lives. They arealso supposed to suffer - if not byplaying the violin on snowy streetcorners to indifferent passers-by,then at least to suffer rejection, themore brutal the better.Callas, who (we learn in flash-
backmonologues)was browbeatenbyhermen, brutalized bymanagersand called fat and ugly, has no hes-itation in abusing her students.“You think you’re all so special,”she tells them. “You’re a dime adozen.”The mystique of the suffering,
humiliated artist cuts across all cul-ture lines (think of all those “Amer-ican Idol” contestants). But it’s par-
ticularly flagrant in the case ofCallas, whose legions of worship-pers adore her precisely for herover-the-top passion, her soap-opera life and the sense that shedestroyed herself every nightonstage.What makes “Master Class”
effective is that it gives this kind of
intensity its due -while alsomakingit just a little ridiculous.We see three of Callas’ students
in the play, and we see them all, tovarying degrees, blossomunder herhard tutelage.But the most talented of them
also rejects her in no uncertainterms: “I hate people like you. You
want tomake theworld dangerousfor everyone just because it was foryou.”Mediocrity back-talking to
genius? Or a sensible, humane
person’s response to a crazywoman? Take your pick - the playleaves both possibilities open.That’s one reason it’s a memo-
rable evening.

SPRINGING INTO THE 2009 CAMPAIGN

By Jim Connellyof The Item
All it tookwas one eight-minutespan for theMillburnHigh Schoolvarsity boys basketball team to finditself in deep trouble againstShabazz in a New Jersey StateInterscholastic Athletic Associa-tionNorth Jersey, Section 2,Group3 Tournament quarterfinal-roundgame onMarch 8 in Newark.Third-seededShabazz outscored
11th-seeded Millburn 22-9 in thesecond quarter to build a 40-20halftime advantage en route toadvancing to the sectional quarter-final round with a 71-42 triumph.“The game got away from us in
the second quarter,” said Millerhead coach Rodger Blind, whoseteam concluded the 2008-09 cam-paign with a 13-11 record.“We did not play well defen-
sively in the second quarter andallowed too many second shots,”Blind said.The Millers faced a decided
height disadvantage as the Bull-dogs’ lineup, according to Blind,featured three players 6-6 or taller.Millburn played Shabazz (16-8)
tough in the opening quarter,a stanza that ended with theBulldogs holding an 18-11 advan-tage.Juniors Alex Rosenberg and Joe
Kizel accounted for themajority ofMillburn’s points.Rosenberg, the tallest player on
the Millers’ roster at 6-6, finishedwith a team-high 17 points.Kizel, the Millers’ point guard,
tallied 13 points.Junior Brian Brown added sev-
en points for the Millers. Brownmade three of four foul shots in theopening quarter to help keep histeam within striking range of theBulldogs.Shabazz, which went on to
defeat seventh-seeded NewarkEast Side in the sectional semifi-nals on Saturday, had four players
score in double figures. RodneyWilliams paced the Bulldogs with14 points.The Millers, the lowest-seeded
team in the sectional, commencedpost-season play March 3 with a58-47 defeat of sixth-seededVoorhees in Glen Gardner.“It’s always tough playing a state
tournament game on the road,”Blind said. “It was a job well doneby our team in front of a hostilecrowd.”The Millers were short-handed
for the contest after senior guardJustin Budlow and senior forwardHarry Tarre drew two-game sus-pensions for violating the school’sathletic code of conduct.The suspensions carried over to
the sectional quarterfinal againstShabazz.In addition, theMillers lost their
final on-court opportunity to pre-pare for the game when the previ-ous day’s practice was called offbecause of a snow day.They also had to deal with the
possibility of junior guard AndrewSpelman (intestinal infection)being unavailable for thecontest.Millburn, which featured a start-
ing five of juniors Max Miller andKizel at the guard positions andBrown at center and Rosenbergand senior Bill Jo at center, held a14-9 lead after one quarter.“Kizel hit a big three at the end
of the first quarter to give us somemomentum,” Blind said. “Wewereable to build on that and hold a 10-point lead (27-17) at the half.”Rosenberg (21 points, eight
rebounds), Kizel (16 points, eightboards, six assists), Jo (nine points)and Miller (eight points) account-ed for 52 of the Millers’ 58points.“Kizel did a really good job and
Andrew Spelman (two points)gave us a good effort of the bench,”Blind said.

Josh Plump will put his stel-lar skills on display next fall asamember of the Bucknell Uni-versity men’s soccer team.“When I first visited the
school, I fell in lovewith it rightaway,” said Plump, who scoreda team-high 27 goals this pastfall for the New Jersey StateInterscholasticAthleticAssoci-ation Group 3 champion Mill-burn High School boys soccerteam. “It was the right size forme and had a good balancebetween soccer and academics,which I cared about a lot.”Plump, the 2008 Star-
Ledger Player of the Year, ispart of a nine-member recruit-ing class landed by Bucknell’shead coach, Brendan Nash.“After a season in which we
were disappointed to miss outon the postseason, our goalwasto bring in a recruiting classwith the potential to make animmediate impact,” Nash said.“This is a very impressive groupof student-athletes. All havehad great high school careers,however we have stressed toeach of them that all of theirskill and athleticism is notgoing to be enough.
“The guys that work thehardest and want it the mostare the ones who will help usover the next four years.”Bucknell compiled an 8-8-2
record and finished fifth in theeight-teamPatriot Leaguewitha 3-4 record.Nash is looking for things
fromPlump, one of threeBisonrecruits fromNew Jersey.“We have watched Josh
score many big goals for histeam during his high schoolcareer,” Nash said.“He is one the fastest for-
wards in the country at thehigh school level. Josh’s biggestchallenge is going to be to findout how to use his speedagainst college defenders whoalso will be much faster thanwhat he faced in high school.“Once he does this, he has
the potential to score manygoals for us, Nash said.”
Plump, a tri-captain of the2008 Miller squad, one thatalso won a second consecutiveEssex County Tournamentcrown with a 6-1 rout ofneighboring Columbia andcaptured the Northern HillsConference, Skyline Divisiontitle, scored some of the team’smost important goals of thecampaign.He tallied the lone goal of
the match in Millburn’s defeatof Ramapo in the NJSIAAGroup 3 semifinal and cameupwith two goals and an assistin the Millers’ 3-0 defeat ofMoorestown in the Group 3final.“I really hope to contribute
to the team right away,” Plumpsaid. “I know the college gameis a lot different andmany areasof my game will have toimprove and change. I amexpecting a significant transi-tion from high school to col-lege.”RobGrosso,Millburn’s head
coach, says his former star hasthe potential to find success onthe intercollegiate level.“Hiswork ethic is admirable
and as he continues to developas a player he will become animportant part of the Bucknellprogram,” Grosso said.

Township resident MaggeeMig-gins typically spends St. Patrick’sDay celebratingwith her family, butthis year will be a bit differentbecause Miggins will be walking inthe 74th annual St. Patrick’s DayParade inNewarkasDeputyGrandMarshal.Miggins andGrandMarshalDan
Zieser were chosen by the St.Patrick’sDayParadeCommittee fortheir involvement in the Irish com-munity.“The Parade committee makes
nominations forGrandMarshal andDeputy Grand Marshal and wehave preliminary discussions aboutwhowould be the best candidate. Ifthe group concurs then we go withthat person and inMaggee’s case itwas a unanimous decision,” saidKevinFrey, general chairman for theParade Committee. “She’s a greatbusinesswomanandanactivemem-berof the Irish community. Shewasborn inNewark soher roots gobackto the community there. She repre-sents the Irish community well andshe’s a good ambassador for us.”Miggins never expected to be cho-sen as Deputy GrandMarshal, but
was honored to receive the title.“It’s aboutwhowe are as people,
they only choose one after all,” saidMiggins. “I guess they look for peo-ple who are Irish who have con-tributed and are involved in thecommunity.My father-in-lawwas avery big part of the parade formorethan50years sowe’vebeen runningin these Irish circles all of our lives.”Miggins and Zieser are responsi-
ble for promoting the parade atnumerous Irish events throughoutEssex andUnioncounties aswell asleading the parade, which will beheld tomorrow at 1 p.m. in down-townNewark.“This is perfect for me,” Miggins
said. “I was laughing with my sisterabout it because this is so me. Shetells me, ‘Mags, you get to be theprom queen.’ And she’s right. I cankiss babies and shakehands like therest of them.”Miggins is abroker associatewith
Keller Williams Realty and lives inthe township with her husband,Michael, and their two children,Daniel and Elizabeth.“Family is so important to the
Irish. We always take care of ourown,” said Miggins. “My dad livedwith us for two and a half yearsbeforehedied.Hewas just that cute
little Irishmanwith thecap, sitting ina pubdrinking a beer.Andwhenhepassedaway, theyofferedcounselingandall that tome,but I just said, ‘I’mIrish, I’m okay.’ We’re stoic in theway we deal with things. We justhave that fortitudeand if you’re Irishyou knowwhat I’m talking about.”Miggins’ grandmother was born
in Ireland and most of her familyhails fromGalwayandCork.Withabit of Dutch blood, Miggins claimsto be about 85 percent Irish. Eventhough she is not of full Irishdescent, being Irish has alwaysplayed a big part in her life. Shepridesherself inher Irishupbringingand heritage.“It’s who I am and how I define
myself,” said Miggins. “It’s the eter-naloptimism, that’swhat itmeans tobe Irish. You can’t let your troublestrouble you andweknow that. Irishpeople are so positive. There’salways that rainbow, that silver lin-ing.They’re justwarm, lovingpeoplewho love to have fun.”Miggins grew up in an Irish
household where Irish music anddancingwere a part of her everydaylife. She always celebrated the Irishculture andwent toSt. Patrick’sDayparades every year.“You shouldhearme sing!Music
is a big part of all of our lives and Ithink that’s very Irish,” saidMiggins.“At the parades all you hear is thepipers and this beautiful pipingmusic. That’s what I love. And it’sgreat to see all the multi-genera-tional families coming out to cele-brate an Irish tradition. It’s a little bitof cheer for the day and that’s whatI’mmost excited about.”In addition to attending parades
andeating cornedbeef andcabbagefor dinner, Miggins and her familyhave started a newSt. Patrick’sDaytradition of delivering homemadeIrish soda bread to her real estateclients’ houses.“We just celebrate the day
because everybody’s Irish on St.Patrick’sDay,” saidMiggins, “Whenwe deliver the soda bread we dressin kilts and everything. It’s a blast!
Webring thekids along toobecauseit’s important to us that the kidsknow the Irish traditions and thatwe try tokeep those traditionsalive.”Migginshasnever traveled to Ire-
land to see those traditions up closebut plans to take a trip to visit fami-ly and explore the countryside.“It’s just so beautiful. I feel like
I’ve been there in another life orsomething,” she said.

‘Cross over’ to AC with John Edward,Johnny Mathis at Tropicana
To counter the effects of our national economicslump, the casinos continue to offer a menu of
unique and diverse attractions to lure visitors tothe resort. Here are just three drastically differentofferings coming up!
This weekend Trump Plaza presents interna-tionally acclaimed psychic medium John Edward,who will presumably connect audience partici-pants with their deceased family members andloved ones. This will be Edward’s AC debut, butthe controversial field of parapsychology is noth-ing new to the Boardwalk. For over half a centurygypsy fortune-tellers have plied their trade atbooths along the Wooden Way, and more recentlythe Taj hosted British psychic Sylvia Browne whodrew SRO crowds to the 2,000-seat Xanadu,manyhoping to be among those to be chosen for a spir-itual “connection.”
Long Island native John Edward (nee McGee),former phlebotomist, has developed his own stylewhich is deeply compelling, often startling andoccasionally humorous. His down-to-earthapproach has earned him a vast and loyal follow-ing, with his syndicated TV shows Crossing Overand John Edward Cross Country and several hot-selling books. During his readings Edward shareswith his audiences information presumably com-municated by their deceased friends and relatives.Edward says he receives images and clues from“the other side” which the audience must assisthim in interpreting.Audience subjects respond toEdward’s statements and questions, frequentlyadding their own details.John Edward appears at Trump Plaza Friday at
7 p.m., and Saturday at 2 p.m. The $175 ticketattests to the wildly popular demand.Shifting gears, casino circuit favorite Johnny
Mathis returns to his long-time haunt at Tropicanafor two shows this weekend. He’ll be joined byGary Mule Deer in a fairly unusual show format.Johnny discourages stragglers who wander intothe theater in disrespect of the struggling “open-er,”and so he opens his own show. Mathis appearsalone onstage, under a baby spot, opening with asoft ballad before a curtain opens to reveal animpressive full orchestral backing.He’s a gracious performer,who’ll run through a
selection from his many hit singles and Grammy-winning albums. A half-hour into his show, Johnnyintroduces his guest artist, and Gary opens with asure-fire laugh-getter to the effect that he’s hon-ored to have Johnny Mathis as his “opening act.”The comic performs a half-hour of standup, thenJohnny comes back to close the show. It’s a reallyclassy act! Showtimes at Trop are Friday andSaturday nights, 9 p.m. both evenings. Tickets are$35, $50, $65, and $75.
For a truly unique gastronomic excursion,Resorts is definitely the place to be next weekendfor the most sophisticated dining experience thisside of La Tour D’Argent. An exclusive “SpiritedDinner with Jon Ashton” will be held in theResorts Ballroom next Saturday, March 21, at 7p.m. This interactive dining experience will high-light a line of Van Gogh premium vodkas in anassortment of cocktails as well as infusion of theflavored vodkas in the preparation of three cours-es of the gourmet gala. Throughout the evening,TV celeb chef Jon Ashton will introduce a succes-sion of flavored Van Gogh Vodkas to complementthe various dishes. He’ll even mix up a few origi-nal cocktail creations which guests can sample onthe spot then recreate back home. Culinary afi-cionados will recall Jon’s frequent appearances onthe Tonight Show with Jay Leno as well as NBC-TV’s Today Show.The very personable Briton canbe seen on ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX affiliatesacross the nation as he travels doing media toursand presentations.Guests at the event will enjoy a gourmet feast
prepared by Jon Ashton and Resorts’ talented culi-nary team led by Resorts Executive Chef BarryMarkowitz. As each course is presented, Ashtonwill conduct a cooking demonstration onstageand discuss with the audience the details of thefood preparation and how to pair cocktails withfood. Dishes include:Asian Chop Salad with orien-tal vegetables and seasonings, topped with Daikoncurls and an oriental dressing infused with orange-flavored Van Gogh vodka; Jon Ashton’s BonelessBraised Beef Short Ribs, with a coffee-flavor VanGogh vodka demi-glace, served over a celery rootpuree,with fingerling potatoes and asparagus; anda Pomegranate Vodka Trifle-Tini dessert servedwith double-espresso Van Gogh vodka.Throughout the evening, guests will also enjoy
