Tuition costs voted by Metuchen board METUCHEN — In a 6-3 vote Tues- day night, the Board of Education agreed to fund tuition costs for Yu Chen and Bernard Chang, two academically advanced Metuchen High School seniors, to attend three classes at Rutgers University. The decision came after three weeks of controversy and discussion and the vote was greeted by applause by many members of the audience of approximately 30 people attending Tuesday’s meeting. The motion by board president Eileen Dyas that was approved by a majority of the board specifies that the district will pay the tuition costs of $2,200, fees and for the students’ books. No provision is made for reimbursing the students for the cost of their transportation to and from the university. The possibility that the district would incur the expense for the transportation had been one of the main objections to the proposal by board member Walter Magdich. However, Magdich, who was joined by Charles Canary and Byron Son- dergard in opposing the action, also took the position the board would be setting a precedent. Voting in favor of paying the tuition costs were Mrs. Dyas, Alfred Pas- santino, Judith Elliott, Beatrice Moskowitz, Joseph Sprunger and Vincent Bonica. The public hearing portion of the board meeting was de- voted for the most part to comments, both pro and con, on the subject of paying the tuition for Chang, 15, and Chen, 17, to take mathematics and science courses at Rutgers because they have “outstripped” what Metu- chen High can offer them. According to superintendent of schools Gennaro Lepre, the proposal to send Chang and Chen to Rutgers was made by MHS teachers, de- partment heads and guidance per- sonnel after a number of other op- tions were explored and discarded as not being feasible. One of them was early graduation, as suggested by Dana Kuchar, whose daughter was her MHS graduating class salutatorian.

All four were charged with cri- minal trespass and one, a 17-year- old, also was charged with drunken driving. The other three are all 16 years of age and all four are resi- dents of North Edison. The four were apprehended by Pa- trolmen Thomas Bryan and Alan Engel, who were patroling the area in civilian clothes and on foot as a re- sult of the heavy damage caused to the golf course, club facilities and equipment on Labor Day and again last Sunday. Bryan and Engel reported that at 1:30 a.m. Tuesday they observed a 1983 Datsun traveling at a high rate of speed along the paved private road that leads to the country club main- tenance shop and fenced-in area in which motorized golf carts are stored. The fence around the storage area had been cut open in the two previous incidents during which golf carts were hot-wired and driven around the greens, spilling oil and tearing up the grass. During Sunday’s spree, the tennis courts also were damaged as were several course flags and a cart was driven into a water hole, which also was the fate of another cart on Labor Day. According to Bryan and Engel, the fence around the golf cart area still was awaiting repairs when they ob- served the Datsun enter the property Tuesday but all of the carts had been moved to someplace else to prevent additional damage. Bryan and Engel said the Datsun stopped directly in front of the cart storage pen and then backed away, returning Vbthe access road, where it was waved to a stop. There were four youths in the car, according to the officers, and when the driver was ordered to turn off the engine he attempted to drive away but Bryan reached in through the open window and turned off the igni- tion key.

Bonica stated he was “disappointed in the guide” because starting salar- ies are too low while the “total in- crease is greater than what was bud- geted.” Byron Sondergard interjected, “Teacher’s salaries are up 9.3 per- cent, add the benefits, and the taxes become astronomical!” He said to approve the contract is to approve spending “money not budgeted.” Negotiations between the borough and the Education Association have been underway since January, re- minded board president Eileen Dyas.

Edison taxpayers turn out
EDISON — At a meeting Wednesday night that dragged on until past midnight, the Township Council heard from a parade of homeowners, who are angry over their latest tax bills.
Attempts to explain the recent tax reassessment, which was mandated by the county; the impact of Edison’s soaring real estate values, which have gone flat in recent months, and the apportionment of the tax dollar, with only 9 percent of it going for the operation of municipal government, fell on deaf ears.
The complainants presented demands for immediate relief despite explanations that none can be forthcoming because the assessments have been certified, budgets adopted and the tax rate struck.
However, council president Henry Cackowski did assure the residents that assessor Paul Raffiani will be present at the next meeting to field questions for which neither council members nor township attorney Peter DeSarno had answers.
Cackowski told the crowd that Raffiani was at the last meeting when an outpouring of unhappy taxpayers was expected but did not materialize. He also said that Raffiani would have been on hand Wednesday night if the council had previous notice that a large delegation was coming to question their assessments and their taxes.

METUCHEN — A two-year contract with the Metuchen Education Association that will provide increases ranging from 6.5 to 7.8 percent for most of the district’s 171 teachers was approved Tuesday night by a 5-4 vote of the Board of Education.
The salary increase for 17 teachers, who are in their 14th year of service and have reached the “jump step” on the guide, will amount to 30 percent, a bone of contention for those who voted against ratifying the agreement — Walter Magdich, Charles Canary, Byron Sondergard and Vincent Bonica.

Edison man wants relief from new air route roar
U.S. Senator Bill Bradley congratulates Matthew Bogdan, an Edison High School graduate, on his admission as a member of the Class of 1992 at the United States Naval Academy. Bogdan is one of 37 young men and women nominated by Bradley to be offered appointments to United States service academies.
More security suggested for Menlo Park School
EDISON — Increased surveillance at Menlo Park Elementary School by the firm that provides security service for the district was suggested by Paul Hilf at last week’s Board of Education agenda session after building and grounds chairman Charles Andreasen reported still another round of window breaking at the school.
“ It’s very vulnerable and it’s become a hangout,” said Hilf of the Menlo Park School. “I can’t explain why and neither can the principal.”
Hilf suggested that one is reason is that the school is “way off the beaten path.”
A fence was mentioned as a deterrent to teenagers who use the school property as a gathering place and those who are responsible for the
vandalism but this was ruled out because the size of the grounds.
According to Hilf, another problem is the condition of the plexiglass that is being used to replace shattered glass. Although the plexiglass can’t be smashed, vandals have burned and scratched it and it has become “an eyesore,” according to Hilf.
It may be “pennywise and pound foolish” to use plexiglass, he said, and he recommended that reinforced glass panes be installed instead.
Hilf noted that the lighting around the school also could be improved.
Board secretary Robert Post agreed there is a problem at the school but said that, as usual, the situation will improve as cold weather sets in and the young people who hang out there are forced to seek more hospitable haunts.

Based on information compiled by Real Estate Data, Inc., it was reported incorrectly in a recent listing of real estate transfers that a townhouse at 134 Westgate Drive, Edison, was sold by R. Babiasz to R. Haley. The property that was sold by R. Babiasz is at 172 Wood Street, Iselin.
EDISON — Benjamin N. Schneider of Perry Road has appealed to the Township Council to take whatever action it can to help reroute commercial airliners from over his South Edison neighborhood and adjacent Highland Park.
But it was the view of the council at Monday night’s agenda session that it has no power to help Schneider and his neighbors and the only source of relief is the Federal Aviation Administration.
“I never noticed any problem,” said Councilman John Hogan, reporting that he wasn’t even aware of planes overhead until flying in from a trip recently, looking down and realizing he was over his own house on Central Avenue.
“The fact of the matter is that the planes have to come in over somewhere,” he commented.
“Open your window at 6 o’clock in the morning and you’ll head the jets coming in ,” commented Mayor Anthony M. Yelencsics.
“I’m glad when I hear them,” he later observed. “I know they’re still up there.”
It was the opinion of township attorney Peter DeSarno that the airliners can’t be flying over Edison and Highland Park as low as claimed by Schneider. The altitude at which they travel over this area has to be 10,000 to 15,000 feet, according to DeSarno.
However, in his letter to the council, Schneider said there are times that the planes fly so low he can clearly identify which airline it is and the type of craft.
According to Schneider, the establishment of a new air traffic route over Edison and Highland Park was first noticed by himself and and his neighbors, to their “ dism ay,”
Trip planned to the casinos
EDISON — The Edison Recreation Department has announced another trip to Atlantic City, this one on Sunday, October 16.
The bus will leave from the Municipal Complex at 11 a.m. for an outing at the Tropicana hotel and casino. Cost is $12, which includes round-trip transportation and $10 back in coins on arrival.
For reservations or more information, phone 287-0900, extension 310.
several weeks ago.“This is causing many people great
distress and is affecting the quality' of life in our neighborhood,” Schneider wrote.
There is “a continuous flow” of air traffic, he continued, and the noise “is almost as bad as living adjacent to a major airport.”
In fact, it is so noisy, according to Schneider, he can hear the roar of plane engines even when he is operating his lawn mower.
Schneider pointed out that Am- trak’s Northeast Corridor line is not far from his neighborhood, which also is subject to highway noise and the sound of helicopters flying in and out of the Kilmer Army Reserve Base.
“Of all the noises in our neighborhood, the aircraft noise is the worst,” the letter continued. “The train noise is of very short duration and spaced apart, especially on weekends. “The other sources of noise are very spor
adic or very subdued. The a irc ra ft noise is almost continuous.”
Schneider said he and the neighbors were aware of the existence of the Amtrak line and the closeness of heavily traveled roads when they moved in but the new air route was thrust upon them “ indiscriminately.”
Because his neighborhood already has its own share of noise and “New Jersey is sufficiently large enough to spread the noise around,” Schneider wants the new air route over his house moved elsewhere.
Barring that, he suggested that flight patterns be rotated during different times of the year so that no one area is subject to the noise of the plane engines on an ongoing basis.
Schneider’s letter acknowledged that FAA decisions are not subject to review by local governing bodies but he wants that situation changed so that it cannot “indiscriminately affect the lives of so many people.”
Light at Langstaff now red and green
EDISON — A traffic signal now is in operation at Route 27 and Langstaff Street.
Responsible in large measure is Albert Lawlor, president of the board of trustees of Brookside Commons, a condominium complex of 154 units at the end of Langstaff Street.
“I’ve been fighting for that for three years now,” said Lawlor when the signal starting flashing red and green last week.
Ironically, it was Lawlor who also championed the effort 31 years ago that led to the installation of the flashing yellow caution light that was replaced by the new signal.
The caution flasher was put up in 1957 when Lawlor, a 35-year resident who used to live on Willow Avenue, was a member of the District 1 Board of Fire Commissioners and Firehouse No. 2 was constructed at the corner of Langstaff and Route 27.
Lawlor recalled that when requests to the state for the flasher light in front of the new fire station fell on deaf ears, he threatened demonstrations and even was ready to have the
commissioners put up a light on their own. But the state finally relented, he said, and the fight was won.
To get the new signal, Lawlor used a different technique with the state D epartm ent of T ransportation, which has authority over Route 27.
“I kept calling and squawking every day until they approved it,” he said. According to Lawlor, when the traffic light at Route 27 and Langstaff finally was approved last spring, it was 400th down on the list of signals that the state had authorized but “some political pressure” corrected that situation.
Lawlor credited Mayor Anthony M. Yelencsics and the Police Department with being “a big help” in getting the light into operation.
The signal, according to Lawlor, had become a necessity after Brook- side Commons was built and the residents of its 154 units literally took their lives in their hands everytime they tried to make a left turn in and out of Langstaff.
“Even a right turn there was very difficult,” he said. “Somebody was going to get killed there.”

Report on district goals raises questions on math
METUCHEN — A review of how well district students achieved the goals established for them in the 1987-88 school year was presented last week to the Board of Education by curriculum coordinator Marcia Holtzman.
In the area of improving their mathematics skills, according to Mrs. Holtzman, youngsters in grades 3 and 5 met the objective set for them but those in grades 2 and 4 did not.
These youngsters, she told the board “did not achieve a statistically improved performance” over the 1986-87 results for the same two grades.
“ Nonetheless, we scored very well,” said Mrs. Holtzman.
Board member Vincent Bonica said he found the failure of the 2nd and 4th graders to achieve the percentage improvement established for them “particularly disturbing in
JFK holding health fair
EDISON — John F. Kennedy Medical Center is holding a health fair this week to mark Emergency Medical Services Week.
The health fair will be conducted Tuesday and Thursday from 5 to 9 p.m. and Saturday, September 24, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. All will be on the hospital grounds on James Street near Route 27.
The event will serve as an introduction to a new walk-in treatment center, which is designed to handle cuts, bruises, sprains and fractures without a lengthy wait.
Blood pressure screenings, child identification kits and demonstrations of emergency services also are among the slated events. Drawings will be held for home emergency kits.
Cholesterol tests also will be taken with results given on the spot. Anyone who wants to take the test should call 321-8700 to schedule one. A $5 will be charged.
view of our poor performance in the HSPT mathematics test.”
He was referring to the fact that only 84.3 percent of the district’s 9th graders, or 9 percent fewer than anticipated, demonstrated the acceptable level of math proficiency in last April’s statewide High School Proficiency Test. Board member Joseph Sprunger questioned whether Metuchen should be satisfied with the fact that only approximately 80 percent of its students in grades 2 through 5 performed at accepted levels in the area of math last year.
“Is there a place we think Metuchen should be?” he asked. Or, he continued, should Metuchen “just shoot for doing better?”
“I don’t know where the right place is for us,” Springer added. “I’d love to think it is the top.”
Board president Eileen Dyas said she was encouraged that students in grades 3 and 5 had turned in test results that met the district’s goal. In the previous year’s testing, she pointed out, students at those two grade levels showed they were the ones most in need of improvement.
Audience member Ed Catalanello lauded Sprunger for digging into the subject of the 2nd and 4th graders’ math performance although it was Bonica who raised the initial question.
If it were not for Sprunger, Catalanello said, the performance by the 2nd and 4th graders would have been “glossed over.”
There was “no intention to gloss over anything,” Catalanello was told by superintendent of schools Gen- naro Lepre.
In two grades, there was improvement, he said, and in two others it was not “statistically impressive.”
According to Mrs. Holtzman’s report, improvement of listening skills was another of the district’s 1987-88 objectives and was included at the behest of teachers.
“This is a priority concern of teachers,” said Mrs. Holtzman, who explained that improving a student’s ability to absorb information and in
structions involves teaching a variety of skills, not all of which can be measured by standardized tests.
Mrs. Holtzman reported that the outcome of the year’s emphasis on listening skills showed that 94 percent of 1st graders, 90 percent of 2nd graders and 87 percent of 3rd graders performed at the goal of 80 percent or better.
Another of the district’s goals for the year dealt with improved spelling with 6th and 7th graders as the target of the effort.
According to Mrs. Holtzman, 100 percent of the 6th graders achieved 80 percent success in in the application of spelling rules to a list of unfamiliar words. The results for the 7th graders were 98 percent achieving scores of at least 80 percent in the application of spelling rules and of 85 percent or better when asked to correctly spell a list of commonly misspelled words.
The district’s other goals for the 1987-88 school year dealt with substance abuse education in the 3rd, 4th and 5th grades, the Holocaust and genocide and critical thinking.
The success of the substance abuse efforts, Mrs. Holtzman told the board, was demonstrated by the “very moving” posters and essays that resulted and the program is going to be expanded to include other grades.
The year was spent establishing programs and goals for students in the areas of the Holocaust and genocide studies and critical thinking.
According to Mrs. Holtzman, by June of 1989 students in selected grade levels will be expected to meet the educational objectives established by the New Jersey Council on Holocaust Education.
By the end of the present school year, 10th, 11th and 12th graders enrolled in honors social'studies will be expected to demonstrate critical thinking skills to process information and solve problem s based on mastery of an array of skills that were developed by the staff during the past school year.

Miss Koslick at seminar
EDISON — Patricia Koslick attended Operation Enterprise, a 10-day leadership and management seminar held last month in Hamilton, N.Y.
She is a senior at Edison High School and the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Koslick of 5 Pine Street.
Miss Koslick received a scholarship from National Starch & Chemical Corp. to attend the program.
Operation Enterprise was founded in 1963 by the American Management Association. Roundtable discussions, workshops and one-on-one discussions with business leaders are incorporated in the seminar.
The course is modeled after the association’s Management Course for Presidents, which is conducted for chief executives.

Our Opinion
The campaignBringing readers the maximum amount of detailed, com
parative coverage of political candidates in Metuchen is the goal of the Review for this political season.
This will include full, resume-style biographical information, candidates’ campaign statements in news story format, candidates’ charges against opponents and the opponents’ rebuttal in news story format, positions on current town issues, voting preferences on issues just recently resolved, and their plans for handling future opportunities and problems such as next year’s budget and taxes.
Letters on the issues and candidates are welcome, as usual. However, if the volume of mail reaches overwhelming numbers, we will publish only a proportionate representation of the letters received. Letters from candidates will be treated as statements and covered in news stories, unless the letters are in rebuttal to one from a reader.
The deadline for receiving letters and statements is Tuesday morning.
On Friday, October 28, the Review will publish an endorsement editorial and name the candidates it believes has the most to offer the town at this time. The following issue, the one before Election Day, will include a campaign wrap-up on each candidate or slate, any rebuttals to our editorials, and complete voting and poll information.
Our goal in all of this is to report the maximum amount of information on candidates and motivate informed voters to turn out and vote on November 8.
Bad ideaIt makes sense for Edison to consider any proposal that
may be forthcoming about developing its riverfront area from the Route 1 bridge to the borders of Raritan Center as a recreational area.
It does not make sense for the township to accept funds from the major owners of the riverfront land — Raritan Center and Heller Industrial Park — to finance a study of the tract’s potential and future use.
Why can’t the two owners commission their own planning study?
By accepting money for the study, the Township Council is placing itself in a position of sponsoring a proposal underwritten by private developers with which it may or may not find itself in agreement when it finally is presented.
Certainly, the wiser course of action would be to allow the property owners to commission and finance their own private study by their own planner and have it presented to the council for an objective review and evaluation by its own experts.
The desire of Raritan Center and Heller Industrial Park to upgrade the riverfront is laudable but it is an undertaking that the township should deal with at arms’ length to insure that it can make an objective evaluation as to whether the plan, as eventually presented, best serves the township.
By accepting funds from developers for a study the developers themselves could have prepared, the council is at risk of putting itself in what could turn out to be a compromising position.

Going up the down ladderDear Stepladder Company:The summer is over and I didn’t
get any house-painting or guttermending work done, and it’s your fault.
Last spring I bought one of your wooden ladders so I could do the work. But I got sidetracked.
I spent all summer riading your stepladder directions.
As you know, the directions appear on a long strip of paper pasted to one of the ladder legs. You wouln’t think you’d need all those instructions just for opening a ladder and clombing it, but I guess we live in technical times. I felt obliged to read all the fine print, beginning with “Safety First. Step Ladder. For Your Safety Read Carefully.”
Couldn’t you have omitted the “Step Ladder” part? After all, anyone buying the thing would probably know what it is.
Right after I brought your ladder home from the store, I made myself comfortable and started to read it:
“Proper selection. Select ladder of proper length to reach working height.”
After thinking about that for a while, I concluded that it made a lot of sense. If I had selected a too-short ladder I wouldn’t be able to reach up far enough, and the ladder would be useless, except maybe to put houseplants on. Oops, that would be a violation of Section V, Paragraph 3: “Never store materials on a ladder.” Also possibly Section V, Paragraph 5: “Keep ladder clean and free of all foreign materials.”
The first few chapters in the direc-
Of All ThingsDereck Williamson
tions deal with selecting the right type of ladder “to support the combined weight of user and materials or tools,” and includes a list of weight ratings. These made for interesting reading, although I didn’t get any ladder work done that day.
The next morning, a Sunday, I was up bright and early. After polishing my reading glasses, I went out in the garage to read some more of your ladder:
“ Inspect upon receipt and before each use; never climb a damaged, bent or broken ladder; all working parts must be in good working order. Make sure all rivets and joints, nuts and bolts are tight; feet, steps and rungs secure; spreader and pail shelf function properly.”
Do you have any idea how many rivets, joints, nuts and bolts are on your ladder? Inspection took me the rest of the day, and I still had 99 percent of the directions to go.
I soon developed a weekend routine for the summer — read stepladder directions all morning, nap in the afternoon, supper, read a few more directions, bed.
As light reading, it was better than a historical novel. Some of the more memorable passages:
“Proper set-up: Danger! Metal ladders conduct electricity. Do not
let ladder of any material come in contact with live electrical wires.”
I agreed wholeheartedly with that, but at the same time I wondered why you had the part about metal ladders when this one was made of wood. Just to make sure I dug it with a icepick. It’s wood all right.
“Do not use ladders if you tire easily, or are subject to fainting spells, or using medicine or alcohol or are physically handicapped. ”
I went through that checklist and passed all the tests, except the “tire easily” part. All summer I felt weary, and my eyes seemed more tired than usual.
I enjoyed your four paragraphs on how to climb a ladder and the five paragraphs on what not to do once I was up on the ladder. And I was intrigued by “Do not ‘walk’ or ‘jog’ ladder while standing on it.” I didn’t know you could do that. It sounds like it might be a fun-race at the Painters’ Picnic.
The final instruction, which I just finished reading Sunday night, says to “Destroy ladder if broken, worn or if exposed to fire or chemical corrosion.” Since the ladder is in beautiful shape, having never been used, I don’t have to worry about throwing it away. And it’s a good thing I’m not allowed by law to burn it, and it’s too big for the garbage.
I guess I’m stuck with it for life, and I look forward to using it next summer. But I suppose I should read the directions again: >
“Make sure all rivets and joints, nuts and bolts......”
Your Opinion
Money not the answerTo the Editor:
This is in reference to Robert D’Augustine’s letter of September 9, decrying “the advocates of fiscal responsibility.” This appears to be a not so veiled reference to the three new members of the Board of Education who were elected in April.
He states that Metuchen did not make the top 34 best high schools as identified in September’s New Jersey Monthly and says that it stands as “a powerful rebuke to those who wish to use what they call ‘fiscal responsibility’ as an excuse for diminishing the quality of Metuchen’s schools. ”
We would like to point out that the new board members have yet to win a vote; that Metuchen has had unbridled spending for the school system for the previous 14 years; and that the “fiscal responsibility” candidates could not possibly have had an impact on school quality from April to June. He doesn’t tell us what happened to Metuchen’s ranking during the 14 consecutive years that the budget was approved.
Mr. D’Augustine mentions six schools which were rated in the top 10. Is he aware that a number of the
top 10 spend less per student than Metuchen? That being the case, is there a correlation between spending less and having a higher quality of education? Of course not! Nor should the perpetuation of the folly of the converse be permitted.
A September 1 editorial in another newspaper quotes Governor Kean as saying, “Anyone who says the answer is money . . . flies in the face of every single educational expert in this country. We have raised funds at a very fast rate and we have not seen any connective improvement.” The editorial went on to say: “And we agree that for a variety of reasons, increased spending in any district does not necessarily translate into improved education.”
It is time for us to realize that government’s throwing more of our tax dollars at problems is not the only solution.

The way the ball bouncesI understand that this fall, one of
the major network channels is going to do a weekly sitcom based on Margaret Mead’s Coming of Age in Samoa. This, in my mind, clearly illustrates the impact that cable TV has had on life in general. However, I believe it is time that we give some serious attention to the rites of passage in our own society.
The perfect example of cultural extinction is taking place at this very moment. Just last week it occurred to me that I’d never seen any of my kids playing stickball anywhere at anytime. At first, I assumed that they must be playing it when adults > •aren’t around, because as we all know, adults tend to drive their cars through the middle of a game just when someone nails the ball and it’s about to fall in between the second and third manhole cover.
So without much alarm, I asked just when was the last time that they played.
“Stick what?" was the answer that came out of their vague-expressioned little faces.
“STICKBALL!” I responded, as if I were addressing a reunion of elderly people at Ellis Island.
“ Is that a new Nintendo game?” Justin asked.
“ IT IS A NATIONAL PASTIME OF YOUTH IN AMERICA!” I shouted.
“Maybe when you were a kid,” said Bethany. “But we never heard of it.”
I could feel the blood rushing to my head. Had stickball gone the way of the 30-cent gallon of gas and the dodo bird? Impossible. But why would they lie?
"You must have heard of it,” I pleaded. “A long thin bat. A small rubber ball.”
“Oh, is that the white ball with the little holes in it that doesn’t go anywhere when you hit it?” asked Justin.
Life on the Soft Shoulder
John Kazmark
to find out. First, I spent two days trying to find the right ball. It seems they no longer sell punchballs in every drugstore and five-and-dime. Nope, nowadays they sell spongy little balls with fake seams and expect kids to make do.
Well, I finally found two suitable substitutes, the Spaldeen and the Super Pinky. Now please understand that neither of these balls is exactly what was used in stickball during its 4,000-year history (by my calculation, based on the invention of the broom handle). However, they will do.
Then I had to talk my wife out of her only wooden broom, since all the rest now have metal or plastic handles and since a newly-purchased handle would never work. In fact, the only thing that came easy was the electrical tape, which makes pine tar feel like Vaseline.
It took a total of three days training, considering that living in the suburbs, my children had no idea of what a stoop was or how to think of a back yard as a long, narrow street. But now, thanks to my efforts, an important tribal rite will not be lost and young children will grow to adulthood.
And by the way, it’s a relatively cheap sport. Nothing for the bat. A buck-fifty for the ball. And only $730 for the bases. But that’s only because the single company that I could find who sells manhole covers made me pay the postage.
“NO. THAT’S WHIFFLE BALL!! ” “Hey dad, don't freak. You show us
how to play and we’ll give it a shot.” Easier said than done, I was soon
Taking the Pledge in another way
BY BETTY HUTCHEONEvery* morning that my children
are in school, they begin the day with the Pledge of Allegiance. When I was a schoolgirl, not only did we recite the Pledge, but the Lord’s Prayer and a Psalm from the Bible.
The prayer and the Bible reading are long gone from the “opening exercises” and only the Pledge remains, the last vestige of a ritual that has become archaic or at least quaint.
There is no doubt that the image is appealing — freshly scrubbed, apple-cheeked, wholesome American children standing at attention, hands on hearts and eyes fixed earnestly on the red, white and blue symbol of nationhood, while pledging fervently their immutable allegiance to our country’s ideals.
In fact, though, the children now, as 20 or 30 years ago, pay very little heed to the words that flow so glibly each morning and most likely feel no special surge of patriotism in their heart. For them, as for most of us who occasionally find ourselves pledging the flag, the experience has no more significance than our morning shower. The constant repetition, the rote recall of the familiar phrase fragments, have reduced the Pledge to a trivial formula for greeting the day, beginning a meeting or launching a parade.
Thus, I am dismayed that the Pledge has become such a politically volatile issue, a cry to quite literally “ rally ’round the flag” in a distasteful display of patriotic exhibitionism. Have we such paucity of national pride that we must measure our politicians and our devotion to country on a barometer marked only with the winds of the Pledge?
I am instinctively distrustful of people who trumpet their patriotism so loudly and suspect that the noise serves to camouflage more serious defects of character. I mistrust deeply those who would use the Pledge as a litmus test of loyalty and allegiance to this country’s beliefs and must question their motivation.
This year’s presidential campaign has become mired in the Pledge and in doing so has soiled the flag. I’m not in a position to rule legally or constitutionally whether or not a teacher can be compelled to lead students in a recitation of the Pledge, but I judge the relevance of the issue as being slight in assessing a candidate’s competence for office. To equate patriotism with a willingness to mumble some words to a flag is both misguided and dangerous.
We have only to look at the history of the Pledge controversy for evidence. In the late 1930s and early 1940s, members of the Jehovah Witness religious group were openly and flagrantly persecuted for their unwillingness to salute the flag and say the Pledge. Children were expelled from school, parents were jailed, homes were burned, people were viciously attacked, all under the guise of patriotism. It seems a grotesque perversion of patriotism, not by the victims, but by the so-called patriots who harassed and persecuted them.
It is hard, then, to find any reassurance that Pledge-saying guarantees respect for the laws of this country or for the citizens entitled to protection under those laws. And now our lawmakers are embroiled in their own Pledge debacle.
A circus sideshow looms in the House of Representatives where partisan forces have succumbed to the fever of patrio tic fervor. The

Views shortsightedTo the Editor:
For the first time in 10 years I did not vote in the Metuchen school board elections. I didn’t arrange for an absentee ballot for various reasons, none of which seem very important now.
Now, months later, I read the account of the discussion of a recent board meeting regarding proposed academic programs for two very bright students (“Tuition fees for HS
pair board issue,” September 9). I am shocked by the inane statements reportedly made by certain board members opposing continued studies for these gifted students.
How sad, how very embarrassing that Metuchen residents are now represented by such shortsighted and foolhardy people. We deserve better, and so do our children.
DONNA R. CLEARMetuchen
More than dollarsTo the Editor:
P erhaps Robert D’Augustine should reread the report in the September issue of New Jersey Monthly on the “ Ten Best Public High Schools” in the state. Mr. D’Augustine infers that Metuchen did not make the list because we don’t spend enough money on education and the new school board members are responsible, therefore our system in academically deficient.
Mr. D’Augustine advocates the George Steinbrenner approach to education. Yet the report clearly states “there is more to academic excellence than dollars.” The fact is, that although Metuchen spent more per student than seven of the 10 districts cited, we still didn’t make the grade.
The data for this study was gathered in 1986 and 1987. The new board members hadn’t been elected yet. How could they be respectable for the academic achievement of district?
However, recently Charles Canary was responsible for the school board saving some $50,000. Because of his dogged insistence, the district’s transportation contracts were rebid and the resultant savings realized. Fifty thousand dollars that might be
used for academic endeavors.I suggest that the problem lies with
the incumbent board and the administration. After all, didn’t they just vote to implement a reorganization of the district according to the Princeton City, Ohio, Plan. A plan that in every study has not shown any demonstrative evidence to be superior to our neighborhood schools. (A factor in property values, too.) The implementation of this reorganization will surely carry with it a financial burden, and for what academic achievement?
Wasn’t it an incumbent board member who negotiated the new teachers’ contract that will cost the district 9.3 percent more in salaries, plus additional benefits? What are we getting in terms of academic excellence for that 9.3 percent additional expenditure?
Yes, Mr. D’Augustine, the voters should not allow the damage to occur that results from a mediocre school system or local government. But the damage has already been done. If we are to repair that damage, a change is necessary and the time for that change is now.

Unnecessary varianceTo the Editor:
I read with interest your article in the September 2 edition concerning my application before the Metuchen zoning board.
The purpose of my involvement in the amateur radio service is to provide emergency and disaster communications, as well as homebound communications for deployed military personnel on ships and remote bases. These might be anywhere in the world.
Metuchen’s zoning ordinance permits accessory structures of 25 feet, not 60 as you indicate. Mr. Constantine failed to say that the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled 37 years ago that laws which permit chimneys, flagpoles and support equipment at h igher a ltitu d e s , also perm it am ateur antennas at the same height. Metuchen’s law does that. Taxi, police, public works, cable television, power lines and the railroad use heights up to 180 feet.
This selective and illegal application of zoning exists despite the Supreme Court rulings, and despite direct federal orders to reach “reasonable accommodation.” Metuchen is not above the law. A variance should not be needed.
Legal expenses and consultants’ fees can easily amount to tens of thousands of dollars, in order to obtain a permit to erect a $500 antenna. Towns have paid heavy damages due to their illegal actions. Municipal liability insurance has been canceled for bad management, and members of boards are personally at risk fo r i l legal actions.
This assault on volunteer service makes no sense. The state has man- datedamateur radio in the municipal emergency preparedness plans, due next month. The borough actions serve to make such service impossible.

Kids in The ParkTo the Editor:
This summer, over 130 children participated in Kids In The Park — a three-week program consisting of drama, music, dance, special workshops and entertainment for children from ages 7 to 12.
The games, songs and exercises that the teachers prepared for the children were all centered around the exciting world of theater. Fun was the main objective, but the program also provided the children with a meaningful introduction to various aspects of the stage as well as gaving them the opportunity to explore their talents and abilities while working in cooperation with others.
All the children, including my 8-year-old son Nicholas, had a wonderful time. When each session ended, he couldn’t wait to go again. The teachers, Gary Charwin, Becky Hill and Steve Reisberg, were wonderful!
Their enthusiasm for the theater and their love for children showed in everything they did with the kids. They are to be commended for all their hard work.
The final day of the program, the parents enjoyed a special performance by the children themselves based on the work they did during the summer. What a show! The costumes, dancing, music and songs were wonderful. The children loved performing and the parents loved watching and listening.
Kids In The Park was sponsored by the Middlesex County Board of Chosen Freeholders. Since it was such a terrific program, I am hoping it will be available for the children next summer. I urge the board of freeholders to continue to support Kids In The Park in the future.

Who’s to blame?To the Editor:
Having read Robert D’Augustine’s letter in your September 9 issue forces me to respond. He’s unhappy with Metuchen’s standing in the state’s education hierarchy, as are a lot of other people.
Who does he blame for this? Is it the education experts who get raises and perks every year for the “outstanding” job they tell us they’re doing? Does he blame the majority of the Board of Education, who have managed the direction of our system for the past two to five years? Does he blames former boards of education, who passed every budget proposal offered from time immemorial?
No! He blames the three new members who have served for less than six months. If he expects to be taken seriously, he should research and compare the following: (1) average teacher salaries, (2) administrative costs, (3) school population, (4) plant size, (5) teacher/student ratio, (6) administration/student ratio, (7) college tuition paid for high school students! (It’scoming.)
Mr. D’Augustine takes an irresponsible and partisan approach to this town’s educational inadequacies. He identifies a problem, blames the wrong people and has a time-worn solution. Keep pouring money down the well without any type of Fiscal responsibility. Keep those responsible for the morass in power and hope something good will come out of it. Well, it doesn’t work in the real world. Why does it have to happen in the world of education? An argument could be made that this type of muddled thinking has been in vogue for many years and now you say our system’fs deficient and may be heading for mediocrity.
The taxpayer has every right to get a dollar’s value for every one spent. Why is someone branded a troublemaker or anti-education because he asks questions? Whether or not you know it, you have reinforced the board minority’s point of view and mine also.

‘Ridiculous’ argumentTo the Editor:
In response to Karl Kovach’s criticism (Your Opinion, September 2) of Burton Gimelstob’s comparison of legal fees being paid by Edison for the building inspectors and not for Mr. Stanik as being dissimilar in na-
V i s i o n sa n d
R e v i s i o n s
(Continued from page A-4)Republicans seem to think each day’s proceedings will be enhanced if all members recite the Pledge and to insure this position, they have introduced a motion to this effect. The hapless Democrats seem trapped, since a refusal to adopt the motion will surely brand them unpatriotic.
Or will it? Patriotism, as far as I can tell, does not belong to a political party, nor for that matter, to one ethnic group or religious sect or nationality. (The French are notoriously patriotic and they find this whole uproar perplexing, though amusing.) I hope both sides of the House will come to their senses and recognize that there are more pressing problems facing this country. The Pledge of Allegiance will not solve budget deficits, lags in education, drug abuse, AIDS, Defense Department abuses and the myriad of other problems that batter us.
We should all have better things to do than fret about the failure of someone to say the Pledge of Allegiance or the reluctance of someone to force another to say it...unless, of course, you’re like my daughter who can say the Pledge in under five seconds without pausing for air.
ture is utterly ridiculous.Mr. Kovach, how can you be so
naive as to believe that failure to fulfill their responsibilities as building inspectors warrants payment of legal fees. Your remark “No bribes involved” was not in good taste. If no bribes were involved, then one must assume Boss Tony ordered his inspectors to overlook violations by builders who receive preferential treatment. If you have to take the rap, the least the boss can do is pay your legal expenses, thereby keeping anyone from blowing the whistle.
Twenty-five years ago I appeared before the commissioners (council) and named Raritan Township (now Edison) “Builders Paradise.” Only the names have been changed, but Edison Township can still be appropriately called “Builders Paradise.”
Mr. Kovach, your speeches at the council meetings have fallen on deaf ears. You will continue to support the present administration despite their lack of consideration for the taxpayer. Keep up the good work Karl, they (the council) love you, not for what you stand for, but for what youcUTC

I came upon the scene abruptly.There I was, walking my early
morning exercise in the usual still and quiet of the day when I rounded the bend at South and Jackson streets and saw them, a dozen kids or more — collectively waiting, nervously waiting.
They were all spruced up and looking good. The little girls all wore ribbons in their hair and pink seemed to be the standout color. The boys stuck out in their brand-new appearance — brand-new everything from shirts and jeans to their haircuts.
There were as many moms idling by as there were kids. Some moms were holding their kids’ hands and some moms were engrossed in chitchat with other mothers. Some mothers looked very nervous themselves and on the brink of tears, while other mothers looked very, very happy, like looks of delight.
There’s nothing quite the first day of school.
The sight brought back many memories. And the best thing about memories is that you can hang on to the good of a memory and let go of what’s not worth hanging on to.
I see those kids standing there, waiting for the bus, and I’m immediately transported back to the dozens of first days of school in my kids’ lives. I always celebrated the occasion with a picture or two and have a scrapbook collection of many a first.
It all comes back, the emotion of that moment. Excitement tinged with the apprehension, the feeling of something new: teachers, friends, subjects, schools, experiences.
You wonder if your child is ready for the outside world. You know
you’ve GOT to let go and allow for this new season of life to happen. You hope your kid will have a good time learning. You hope your kid WILL learn.
The nostalgia is fleeting for me. I’ve been blessed with the ability to enjoy a season while I’ve got it and let it go when it’s time.
I don’t miss the first day of school. I don’t miss the rush, the hassle, the 101 details, the schedules, the paperwork, packing lunches, having enough change around for hot lunches, snacks, filling out insurance forms and covering textbooks, asking about homework and PTA meetings, missing the bus and car pooling.
I’ve figured it out. Actually, my friend Tarin, the mother of a grown son, helped me figure it out.
Tarin has been in depression for several years now, ever since her son dropped out of college and moved to the West Coast to surf year-round. Tarin told me the reason I’ve been blessed with the ability to let go with a smile is because I’ve had to do it so many times.
Tarin’s 100 percent right. The first time is the hardest. And I have had to let go a lot. Not that it’s easier, but by the time you’re letting go of the youngest, the top of the heap is mov-

Expanding band trips undecided
EDISON — The curriculum committee of the Board of Education still is weighing a decision on whether high school students should be permitted to participate in events outside the Boston-to-Washington corridor.
That is the geographic limit currently imposed on high school groups by the Board of Education and the John P. Stevens High School Band Parents Association has asked that the ban on travel outside that immediate area be lifted.
“They’re really looking to expand their frontiers and compete against bands on a national level,” the board was told by Dr. Joseph Kreskey, deputy superintendent of schools, at last week’s agenda meeting.
Florida, California and St. Louis are just three of the destinations the band parents have in mind, according to Kreskey, who said a proposal establishing guidelines for such trips was presented at the last curriculum committee meeting by Andy DiNi- cola, the JPS band director, and Winston Hughes, the district’s music supervisor.
The report, Kreskey said, deals with such matters as fund-raising activities to help underwrite the cost and proposes that travel to faraway places would be limited to every two years.
“It’s a very legitimate request,” said Kreskey of the band parents’ effort to have the travel ban lifted. “They just want an opportunity to go further and compete on a national level and you can’t knock that.”
However, the chief concern of committee members Nancy Levin and Ralph Bayard, he reported, is the insurance liability that will face the district.
His own personal concern, according to Kreskey, is air travel by the students.
But a decision can’t be based on “one man’s opinion,” he added.
Homeless man in custody
EDISON — A homeless man whose presence and actions for the past two weeks have been of concern to residents of Amboy Avenue and patrons at Tano Mall was taken into custody September 8 by Patrolman David Orosz on charges of harassment and loitering.
Identified as Larry R. Hilton, 39, he was arrested after a resident said Hilton had been walking along Amboy, between Wiley and Madison avenues, for 20 minutes and when questioned about his presence, he reported he was an FBI agent working on a case.
Orosz said that Hilton told him the same thing when he questioned him.
Residents have been complaining that they were being harassed by Hilton but as soon as a police car arrived he would duck into a wooded area nearStarkin Road.
According to residents, Hilton has been sleeping in the woods and eating out of garbage cans and his actions have included walking through backyards and planting himself in front of passing cars, preventing them from passing.
Orosz said that Hilton told him he previously lived in a shelter for the homeless in New Brunswick but was evicted.
It was noted by Orosz in his report that Hilton is need of help.
Worker error causes fire
EDISON — A worker’s error was blamed for a fire last Friday morning at Essex Metal Alloy Co. at 321 Meadow Road.
Fire Captain John Dublanyk was told that the employee heated a flow pipe in an incorrect way, resulting in lead flowing from solid to liquid and causing flames to shoot up a furnace flue and into the ductwork.
Dublanyk reported residue that collects in the duct chambers and hopper was ignited, sending fumes and smoke both inside and outside the building.
The heat in the duct system was cooled down by an automatic extinguishing system and smoke was expelled from the building by firefighters using a postive ventillation operation.
The state Department of Environmental Protection and Middlesex County Hazardous Materials Unit were called to the scene.

Tuition costs voted(Continued from page A-l)
challenged by the curriculum ana took the position that parents should be responsible for paying the cost of educating their youngsters beyond the high school level.
A proponent of the tuition payments was Margaret Cohen, a real estate agent who told the board prospective home buyers “are very concerned” about the quality of the school system.
“People want good schools and as home owners we have more to gain by upgrading education than saving a few dollars now,” she said.
Leonard Roseman said the decision in favor of the tuition payments proves Metuchen is ready to “expand academic horizons” for “other students who strive to this level.”
Another supporter of the proposal was Deborah Matro, who said, “We can’t have an excellent school system catering to the lowest common denominator.”
Kenneth Moss, a Metuchen High student won applause when he told
the board, “$2,200 is not too much compared to the cost of the football uniforms.”
The main theme of those who spoke against the tuition payments was the need to put a lid on school costs.
Ray Birdsall said it is the responsibility of the parent to “take the child beyond the system.” He joined Ray Sondergaard in admonishing the board, “We are playing with a very dangerous precedent.”
Also speaking against the proposal was Ed Catalanello, who offered to provide advanced textbooks that would meet the two students’ needs within the confines of the high school.
Before casting his “no” vote, Byron Sondergard said he could not vote for the plan because the district is only obligated to provide an education “within the perimeters of K-12.” He added that “uniforms and special education” are the financial responsibility of the district but asked “what can we reasonably expect taxpayers to fund? ”
Magdich continued to express concern the district might find itself responsible for paying for the students’
transportation even though he was assured by Lepre that board attorney James Stahl had rendered an opinion that the district would not be responsible.
Canary' echoed the opinion of those who take the position that providing a level of education that goes beyond high school is a matter of parental responsibility and he called for a more in depth study of the questions raised by the Chang and Chen case, saying that somewhere “a line has to be drawn.”
In voting in favor of the motion, Sprunger said “tutoring is more costly than Rutgers,” and he commended the staff and administration for recommending the two students study math and science at Rutgers.
Mrs. Elliott said her “yes” vote was based on the same reasons as Sprunger’s while Mrs. Moskowitz said the recommendation came from the district’s professional staff and she “must respect their judgment.” She added she would not have voted in favor if “$15,000 transportation costs” were imposed oh Metuchen.

ing over the front passenger seat occupant, stopped the car.
When asked why he was on the club grounds, the driver reportedly said he made a wrong turn but when confronted with the information that he had been seen driving directly to the golf cart storage area, he allegedly changed his story and became antagonistic and unruly.
Bryan and Engel said the driver showed evidence of having been drinking and was charged with drunken driving after being administered a Breathalyzer test at police headquarters.
According to Bryan and Engel, two of the passengers in the Datsun matched the descriptions of two youths provided by nearby residents who had seen a gang of youths fleeing from the golf course after the vandalism on Labor Day and again last Sunday.

come to Wednesday’s council meeting.
According to Phil Rocco, who read a prepared statement to the council in behalf of the residents, the group is not formally organized but probably will be as the North Edison Civic Association.
Dean Satos told the council that residents are “ concerned and outraged” over their new tax bills.
“You haven’t tapped us,” he declared. “You have slapped us in the face.”
Bertha Griffith, a former Board of Education member, said her concern are young people who no longer can afford to live in Edison. “They cannot sell,” she said, “and they cannot afford to stay.”
“You folks have been in power too long,” said Phil Labasi. “You’re arrogant!”
“We are serious,” according to a woman who stood in the line waiting to reach the microphone. “This has gone on too long. It’s got to stop. You people have the power to hold the line on spending.”
And there were threats of political reprisal. “Gentlemen, there is a ballot box,” said one disgruntled resident. “I swear I will work night and day.”
Although he told the crowd he agreed with them, municipal watchdog Karl Kovach also chastised the protestors for failing to keep informed about local issues and not appearing at council and school board meetings to speak out.
Kovach pointed out that over the years he has been a voice in the wil-
EDISON — Menlo Park Mall was the scene this weekend of two robberies in which jewelry valued at a total of $35,033 was stolen.
On Saturday, between 5:15 and 9:15 p.m., a variety of jewelry with a total value of $6,783 was stolen from Liftman Jewelers.
On Sunday, between 2 and 4:30 p.m., 23 men’s rings valued at a total of $28,250 were stolen from Macy’s.
Police said there did not appear to be any connection between the two jobs.
The manager of Littman told Patrolmen Alan Varady and Robert Lynch the jewelry taken from that store was removed from a locked display case that faces the interior mall.
According to the officers, the case is secured by a locked door and there was no evidence that it had been forced open.
Bryan and Engel reported that inside the Datsun they found two golf clubs, one of them broken, two golf balls and a hammer.
All four of the youths were released in the custody of their parents.
During the Labor Day incident, two drinking fountains also were damaged by carts and the halfway house was broken into and 15 pounds of frankfurters and a quantity of rolls, valued at a total of $30, were stolen.
It was reported to Patrolmen Stephen Miller and Dewitt Giles, who investigated the Labor Day damage, that two white male teenagers were seen in the vicinity of the golf course at approximately 11 p.m. the previous night. Both were carrying garbage cans containing unidentified items and they were making a lot of noise, Miller and Giles were told.
demess when it comes to complaining about governmental expenditures and especially the cost of operating the local school system. He urged that the homeowners appears at Monday night’s Board of Education meeting at John P. Stevens High School when hundreds of teachers are expected to be present because of their unresolved contract negotiations.
Echoing Kovach’s sentim ents about public apathy was Councilman John Hogan, who said he has received many letters from teachers urging that their salary demands be met but none from taxpayers urging that salary increases be held down.
The meeting grew raucous at times as members of the audience shouted out comments and Burton Gimelstob, a persistent critic of Mayor Anthony M. Yelencsics and the council, insisted on his right to speak longer than the six-minute limit imposed by the township code because, he said, others are allowed to hold the floor for longer periods.
“That is selective enforcement,” Gimselstob charged when Cackowski warned him he was exceeding the limit. “You are violating my civil rights.”
After an exchange with Gimelstob, a demand that Gimelstob be declared out of order and that a police officer be summoned, Councilman George Asprocolas stalked out of the meeting and did not return for the rest of the session.
A policeman was called and he remained in the rear caucus room for the duration.
Police were notified of the jewelry theft at Macy’s after a jewelry department employee noticed that jewelry appeared to be missing from a display case.
According to Patrolmen William A. Revill and Gary Ruffo, an inventory revealed that 23 men’s 14-carat gold rings, a number set with precious stones, were gone from the case along with the four brown velvet settings on which they were displayed.
The employee informed Revill and Ruffo that she last saw the jewelry in the case at 2 p.m. when she showed a ring to a customer, who then purchased a watch, using his Macy’s credit card. The customer and his female companion were the last customers seen in the vicinity of the case, the officers were told.
In the past, there have been other instances of valuable jewelry having been stolen from the display rases.
During the course of the investigation of Sunday’s incident, Patrolmen Louis Kirsh and Thomas Vickery learned that a Woodland Avenue resident had been awakened at approximately 4:30 a.m. by noise coming from the nearby golf course and saw approximately five juveniles driving carts around the course. The officers were told that one of the youths jumped off a moving cart and it crashed into a fence.
The vandals were seen fleeing from the course on foot in the direction of South Plainfield.

Finds intruder at front door
EDISON —Darleen Miller of Patrick Avenue was napping at 3:40 p.m. September 7 when she heard knocking on the front door.
Miller told Patrolman Gary Thomas she decided to ignore it but the next she heard the door was being forced open, possibly by being kicked.
When she investigated, she confronted a white male in his early 20’s, about 5’7” and with brown hair almost to his shoulders. He was wearing a white T-Shirt and blue jeans.
According to Thomas, the intruder ran to a late model white Chevrolet Nova, which sped toward Prince Street and Route 1 after the suspect entered the passenger door.
Thomas said the door frame of the house was damaged.
Teacher talks at standstill
EDISON —Township schools continue to operate as usual even through contract negotiations between the Board of Education and Edison Township Education Association remain unresolved.
Officially, there has been no movement in the talks since board and ETEA representatives met August 30 with a mediator from the state Public Employees Relations Council in an effort to resolve their differences.
Another session has not been scheduled although one is expected to be held.
The main issues separating the board and the teachers is the size of the increase sought by the ETEA and a “give back” sought by the board. The board is asking that teachers new to the district assume a greater co-payment share of their health insurance benefits.

MV dispute erupts into bloody attack
METUCHEN — An argument born of a traffic incident became a bloody full fledged fight on Middlesex Avenue the afternoon of September 2.
John Quinn of Sims Road, Edison, was taken to John F. Kennedy Medical Center with wounds inflicted during the fight. Quinn’s alleged assailants, Ramona Johnson, Fred Jack- son, Jesse Hedgepeth, and Reginald Willaims all of Plainfield, were arrested on charges of aggravated assault.

Patrolman John Franklin was called to the vicinity of Boro Motors to investigate a report of an ongoing assault. When Franklin arrived he found off-duty Patrolman Theodore White, Patrolman Theodore Ayotte, Sargeants John De Amorin and Charles H. Getty also at the scene.
According to Ayotte, the incident began in Edison at the intersection of Talmadge Road and Route 27. There, Quinn, in his 1984 Ford pickup truck, was on the outside lane against the curb.

Members of Edison First Aid Squad No. 1 administer emergency treatment to victims of a two-car crash Saturday night at Old Post and Miko roads that sent five people to hospitals. The most seriously injured was Joanne Mulvaney of Miko Drive, one of the drivers.
Hearing continued by ethics agencyEDISON —An Ethics Commission
hearing on conflict of interest charges filed against township engineer William Lund by Jeffrey Warsh has been continued until October 13.
The commission began hearing initial testimony last Thursday at a closed session that continued three and a half-hours and ended in an eruption by Warsh’s chief witness, Burton Gimelstob.
Gimelstob said Wednesday night that on Thursday he planned to file two complaints with the state’s Public Advocate Office against Clifford Kuhn, the commission’s attorney.

until after he had almost completed his testimony and a hallway conference with Kuhn in which he imparted certain information that he learned Kuhn has been engaged to represent four Edison building inspectors against whom disciplinary action has been taken by the state Department of Community Affairs.
“There is nothing I did unethical,” said Kuhn, a Metuchen resident, after learning that Gimelstob planned to file complaints. “The commission is going to do its job.”

a year ago about the manner in which his Churchill Road house was constructed led to a DCA investigation and the action against the township inspection department.
Gimelstob claims that in his hallway conversation with Kuhn, he divulged “privileged information” without realizing that Kuhn was attorney for some of the inspectors.
Warsh is charging that Lund stands in conflict because he has done private consulting work for J. DiLeo, a Piscataway real estate agency, that has had an interest in Edison projects over which Lund has engineering responsibility.
The manner is which the commission is conducting the hearing has come under fire by Warsh, who has
charged that contrary to the language of the ordinance creating the commission, it has failed to adopt procedures.
Warsh went to Superior Court but was unsuccessful in having last week’s hearing called off. However, the commission has been ordered to show cause on October 4 by Judge Herman L. Breitkopf on- why it has not publicly adopted a set of procedures.
Joseph Ruggieri, commission chairman and a retired township superintendent of schools, maintains the ordinance creating the commission prescribes how it shall operate.
“And that’s what we’re doing,” said Ruggieri. “I don’t see where any special rules are needed.”

SEPTEMBER 16, 1988-ME REVIEW—PAGE B-1\Football season begins tonight
By STEVE SMITHStarting tonight, things are for
real.After a long pre-season of countless
drills, wind sprints, and work on the blocking sled, players welcome the start of the 1988 high school football campaign, which kicks off for three Metucben-Edison Review teams this weekend: J.P . Stevens will host Shawnee, while Bishop Ahr hosts Monroe tonight; and Wardlaw- Hartridge will host St. Peter’s of New Brunswick tomorrow afternoon.
Here is a glimpse at those three contests:
Shawnee at J.P. Stevens, tonight (7:30 p.m.)— The Hawks will begin their 25th season tonight by hosting a Burlington County squad that struggled to a 3-6 record last year.
However, don’t let that lackluster won-loss record fool you. The Renegades will be comprised of several members from a junior varsity contingent that went 8-1 last year and they also return 14 starters as well. Although the Hawks hold a 3-0 lead in the career series between the two squads, they’ve had their hands full With the Medford-based team the last two seasons.
In 1986, it took a last-second touchdown pass from Ray Patricco to Anthony Mayers to pull out a heart- pounding 21-14 victory. Then last year, J.P. Stevens hung on for a 20-19 triumph when the Renegades missed a two-point conversion late in the game.
J.P. Stevens head coach Tony Si- iponelli expects another tight contest this time around as well.
“We expect another good, dose
ballgame,” said the veteran Hawk mentor. “We saw them scrimmage last Friday and they looked very good defensively and their offensive personnel should be very good. They look like a good football team.”
The Renegades will be paced by junior quarterback Tony Ronaldo, who saw limited duty last season running coach Tim Gushue’s pro-set offensive attack. Shawnee will try and run first, pass second, and a key running back for them this year should be senior Ed Mikulski.
Gushue returns an experienced and quick defensive corps, although they’re not especially big on the front line. The tackles should be seniors Bob Cooper (6-2, 200) and Earl Ferguson (5-10,175), while seniors Mike Nagengast (6-3, 185) and Mike McHugh (6-0, 170) are also expected to be important cogs in the Renegades’ defensive scheme.
“If we can hold our opponents to 10 points we’ll win,” stated Gushue. “What will make our break us this year will be our defense.”
The Hawks will counter offensively with some talented performers, led by senior quarterback A1 Lovett (5-11,175), who will run the option.
Other key personnel for the Hawks will be senior slotback-defensive back Chuck McCann (5-10, 175) and
senior fullback-linebacker Rob Kole (5-10, 185), who will call his team’s defensive signals. Senior Tim Gleason (5-11, 175), who has run the 40-meter dash in 4.6 seconds, paces a corps of speedy wide receivers. The lines will be anchored by senior center-nose tackle John Harkness (5-10, 195); senior tight end Craig Smoley (6-1, 190); and senior tackle-guard- defensive end Adam Crilly (5-11, 202).
Simonelli was asked how his two pre-season scrimmages went heading into tonight’s opener.
“Overall, they went very well,” he noted. “We were very pleased with certain aspects of them. We felt our players were very spirited, showed a great deal of enthusiasm, and moved well to the ball. However, we still need to work a little more on technique, but for the most part I felt we accomplished our objectives.”
Monroe at Bishop Ahr, tonight (7:30 p.m.)— This is always a quality matchup between two GMC White Division sqauds. The Falcons, who were 5-4 last year, used an aggressive defense to blank the Trojans last year, 7-0.
This year coach Geoff Hill returns 15 seniors to his roster, led by senior tight end-linebacker Shannon Trau- twein (6-4, 200), a Division I college
prospect that will key Monroe’s multiple “50” formation (five linemen and two linebackers with odd man fronts). Linebacker-guard James Sheridan (6-1, 210) and senior defensive end-placekicker Rob Longo will be key performers in Monroe’s quest for a state playoff berth. Longo has a 44-yard field goal to his credit during his career.
Quarterback Mike Motta (5-7,190), who tossed six touchdowns passes last year, will run the Falcons’ double-wing offense. Senior Ricky Myers and junior James Dillard add speed in the backfield, while Greg Herbst- man, who had 23 receptions last Fall, returns as the club’s top wide receiver. Senior Mike Walston (6-1, 220) and junior Jerry McDede (6-2, 235) anchor both lines as tackles.
The Trojans, 3-6 last year, will look to junior quarterback Matt Golden (6-1, 175) to run their Multiple-I set offense this year. He’ll be joined by senior halfback Keith Veltre (5-7, 165), who accounted for three touchdowns and over 1,500 all-purpose yards last season. Senior split end Brian Freeman (5-11,160) and senior flanker Paul Fessock (5-9, 155) should be the team’s top receivers, while senior Brian Withka (5-8,145), who booted nine PAT’s last year, returns as the Trojans’ placekicker.
Bishop Ahr’s 5-2 defense will be paced by junior nose tackle Darren Norfleet (5-10, 180); senior two-way tackle Jason Annunziata (6-3, 235) and senior linebacker A.J. Bonick (5-10, 200), who also doubles as the team’s center. Bonick will call the

Bulldog stickers looking to seniors
Boys soccer season underwayBy STEVE SMITH
. Now that the 1988 high school boys soccer campaign has commenced in earnest, several thoughts come to mind.
Will St. Joseph’s continue its strong soccer tradition by being among the dite of the Greater Middlesex Conference again? Will Wardlaw- Hartridge continue to make strides? Can Metuchen and J.P. Stevens better last year’s strong seasons despite losing some gifted seniors to graduation? How will Bishop Ahr and Edison fare under first-year head coaches?
Well, for a look at how these Metu- chen-Edison Review teams might fare this Fall, here is a preview of all six squads:
J.P. STEVENS Last year’s record: 11-5-1
The Hawks finished second in the very tough Red Division last year (behind St. Joseph’s) but lost the nucleus of their contingent to graduation. However, don’t shed any tears for head coach Bill McMullen just yet.
“We have a pretty good group of kids this year,” stated McMullen, whose squad dropped a 2-1 decision to
top-seeded North Brunswick in the GMCT semifinals last November. “We’ll have a pretty young team. All of our players are good, solid soccer players. We may not have one super- star, but we have a good, hard-
Boys soccerworking team that’s playing well together.”
One of the keys to the Hawks’ offensive attack will be senior Vito Ni- gro, who will open the season at right striker.
“Vito looks exceptional,” praised McMullen. “He’ll be our real power up front. His best assets are his size and strength.”
Aiding Nigron on the front line will be junior left striker Thorston Eysel, a transfer student from West Germany. Eysel saw some playing time last year and will be an important part of McMullen’s 4-4-2 attack.
Senior John Epstein, who missed all of last season due to back problems, is healthy again and will provide help up front, as will freshman
Pascarella scores twice in double overtime loss
Senior striker Carmine Pascarella scored a pair of goals but it wasn’t quite enough as the St. Joseph’s High School boys soccer team dropped a 4-3 double-overtime decision to Notre Dame Monday afternoon in Lawren- ceville.
It was the season opener for the Falcons, while Notre Dame improved to 2-0.■ Paul Burroughs collected the
game-winning goal on a shot from 15 yards out with two minutes remaining in the second 10-minute extra session. Henry Zawodniak added two goals, while Ernie Cocuccio chipped in with the other goal for the Fighting •Irish.
“With the attitude of this team, I don’t think we’ll have too many more
losses,” said Pascarella, an East Brunswick resident. “I think we have a good team with a real good attitude. We have a pretty balanced team and I’m hoping for a good season.”
Pascarella gave the Falcons a 1-0 lead five minutes into the opening period off a feed from Brian Talte. Billy Simon’s penalty kick midway through the second stanza gave St. Joseph’s a 2-0 halftime lead.
Pascarella added his final tally 12 minutes into the fourth period via an assist from Chris Mayer.
The Falcons held a 20-10 advantage in shots on goal. Junior goalie Bob Tanskey made six saves in a losing effort, while Ron Smith recorded 10 saves to collect the victory in net.
Eric Miller (the brother of Mike, now at Rutgers); and senior Chris Levy, who may also see playing time at midfield.
The midfield corps is paced by senior Mark Cutler, whom McMullen described as a “steadfast player”, as well as junior Jeff Klein, who will miss at least the first two weeks of the campaign with a broken nose. Seniors Scott Gray and Mike Kennedy, last year’s junior varsity captain, add depth, as does junior Nunzio Gallo.
Junior Mike Packard may split duties at midfield and on defense, while sophomores Mike Iacono and Anthony Morales have been impressive during the pre-season.
“We have some flexabiUty with a lot of these kids,” noted McMullen. “We’U be looking to Vito, Thorsten, and the other kids at midfield to pick up our offense this year. We’ll try and control the tempo of the game a little more, instead of a kick and run attack. We’re hoping our defense will be as good as it was last year.”
While the stopper position was still up for grabs at press time, senior Mark Sgambettera has the inside track on the sweeper post. He may move to stopper as the season progresses. Senior Dennis Chen opens at left fullback, while classmate Brian Berman mans the right fullback slot. Junior Frank Papaianni and freshman Dan Barros add strength on the backline.
“Our defense is slowly coming together,” said McMullen.
Tim Serbe has graduated, so senior Steve Hollander, who saw a great deal of action in ’87, gets the nod as the starting goalkeeper. Senior Chris DeSantis, whom McMullen is very high on, will serve as the backup.
McMullen had some specific goals in mind for his team this year.
“We’d like to get in the counties (GMC tourney) again and win them,” he stated. “I’d also like for us to do much better in the states.”
The Hawks dropped a 5-1 decision to Manalapan in last year’s Central Jersey, Group IV semifinals and would like another crack at the Braves when the two squads hook up in Edison on Tuesday, October 18. J .P . S tevens also has out-of
conference matches slated with powerful Raritan and Hightstown this season.
“We’re looking to improve our program, and the only way you can do that is by playing strong teams,” said McMullen. “I’m looking forward to this year.”
BISHOP AHR Last year’s record: 8-8
The Trojans welcome a new coach in Mike Haney, who will try and lift the Edison-based contingent over the .500 mark this season.
“I’m getting to know the guys,” Haney said. “A lot of these guys have known each other for a while now. I’d like to try and continue with the team’s winning ways. The last few years they’ve made the (GMC Tournament) and the states and I’d like to build on that.”
The key performers for Bishop Ahr this year should be a quartet of seniors- Steve Wintonick (center- fo rw ard ); Les Czum (cen ter- halfback); Ben Kelahan (stopper); and Danny Devaney (sweeper), who’ve all been named as captains of the squad.
“Those four guys work real well together,” praised Haney.
Seniors Marty Martino, Tommy Crino, and Harold Cabezas were vying for halfback positions at press time, as was junior Fred Pugliese. Three freshmen have shown a great deal of potential as strikers- Walter Cabezas, Rich Devaney, and Michael Ewing.
“He’s going to see a lot of playing time,” said Haney of Ewing. “He’s got good skills and is a good one-on- one player.”
Junior Kevin Ewing, Michael’s brother, will start as a striker when the season gets underway tomorrow morning at Cedar Ridge, beginning at 10 a.m. The elder Ewing, a Scotch Plains resident, paced the team in assists last year.
Hudak has most of Bishop Ahr’s defensive corps back from last year, paced by senior fullbacks Matt Hudak and Ron Savro, who according to Haney, have been “ pretty consistent” during the pre-season. Last year’s standout in goal, Ken Albin-

BySTEVE SMITH METUCHEN- The two big stars
are gone. I t’s time to pass the baton.All-Greater Middlesex Conference
field hockey standouts Kerry Robinson and Jill Bangert have graduated, so it’ll be up to Kristen Turk, Jenny DeNicola, and Beth Lumpkin, among others, to try and help keep the winning tradition alive.
The Metuchen High School field hockey team, 13-6-2 a year ago, is faced with the difficult task of replacing a senior-dominated team this Fall. And with the likes of East Brunswick, Sayreville, and South Plainfield in the rough-and-tough GMC, it won’t be easy.
Bulldog head coach Kathy Glutz remains optimistic, however, heading into this year’s campaign.
“The last few years we’ve had some very good senior classes and we’ve been able to overcome our losses,” said Glutz. “I’m hoping this year will be the same. I’ll give all the girls an opportunity to play. These girls have been through our program, so they already know our system. They’re good athletes, and I’ve been pleased from what I’ve seen so far.”
METUCHEN WILL have just three seniors on its squad this season- g Turk, DeNicola, and Lumpkin, who have been named tri-captains. Although it’s almost impossible to replace an impact player such as Robinson, Turk will be an important cog in the Bulldogs’ offensive attack this year from her left wing position.
Turk was bitten by the injury bug more than once last year. She broke her wrist early in the field hockey season last Fall, and also suffered a tom tendon in her thumb during the basketball season. In order for Metuchen to hold its own offensively, Turk must remain healthy.
So far, so good this time around. “She had some hard luck last
year,” Glutz said. “But now she’s healthy and she’s been doing real well so far.”
DeNicola will open at the link position, while Lumpkin starts as a halfback. Glutz was asked how DeNicola looked during the pre-season.
“She’s looked very good,” she stated. “She’s been able to do a lot of things with the ball. A lot of the girls are looking to her to provide leadership.”
Glutz is also hoping to get a strong
effort from junior Lisa Natishyn as an inner forward.
“Lisa’s been doing a real nice job in the circle,” praised Glutz. “I think she’ll get her share of goals. Her stickwork has improved tremendously.”
Sophomore Catherine Thompson, who filled in admirably for Turk last year, begins the year at left inner.
“She’s come into this year ready to play,” noted Glutz. “Lisa, Catherine, and Kristen have worked real well together. They’ve formed a nice unit.”
Glutz is hopeful that that trio can pick up the scoring slack from Robinson, who paced the GMC in scoring the last two seasons.
Junior Stephanie Manheim returns to the club this year and will commence the campaign as a midfielder, while junior Karen Smelas plays at halfback.
Metuchen will be without the services of Bangert, an All-GMC goalie last year, but sophomore Lisa Febles appears to be a good one.
“Lisa’s been doing a nice job,” said Glutz. “She has good natural abilities, she’s not afraid of being aggressive, and she’s a takes a lot of pride in

Nelson stars for NE Shamrocks
SOUTH R IV E R - Greg Nelson scored on a 26-yard reverse run to lift the North Edison Shamrocks’ Midgets squad to a 7-0 triumph over South River in Pop Warner football action Sunday.
It was the season opener for both teams.
Paul Ricigliano tossed a conversion pass to Shawn Chapman for the extra point. Linebacker Tony Aloe helped contain South River’s offensive charge with a solid all-around effort.
The Pee Wees dropped their opener, 18-6, to South River, while the Jr. Pee Wees lost their opener as well, 21-6.
All three Shamrock contingents will face Roselle this Sunday. The Jr. Pee Wee contest kicks off the action, beginning at 11:30 a.m. at J.P. Stevens High School in Edison.

Harriers set for Fall campaignBy JOE KING
As the Fall weather approaches, high school coaches and their runners both know that the 1988 crosscountry season is drawing near.
At Edison, coach Art Rostel will have three seniors leading the way for his team. They are Glenn Sheehan and Brian Hynes, who are also the team’s captains, and Evan Shea, a fourth year runner for Rostel.
Rounding out the top five for Edison are juniors A1 Buffong and Orlando Nazario.
“This is their (Buffong and Nazar- io’s) first time and they look good,” Rostel said. “I am anticipating those five to be my first five.” Rostel also has two sophomores on his team- i Scott Becker and Chris Carney. “Scott and Chris ran in North Carolina for their age group and did well,” Rostel said. “I feel that they will come along.”
Rounding out the top nine for Rostel is another senior, Geoff Spri- gle and freshman Shawn Hynes, brother of Brian.
“Shawn looks real good and he should fit in,” Rostel said. “Any one of the nine I mentioned can be in the top seven, but I think the first five will always be there.”
Rostel, who saw his team post a 7-4
Boyscross-country
record last season, feel’s that his biggest competition will be Cedar Ridge, St. Joseph’s and East Brunswick.
“Cedar Ridge has won the county the last two years and they have most of their kids back,” Rostel said.
However, the Edison mentor feels there is one key to a successful season.
“We have to stay healthy and run together as a group,” Rostel said. “We have seven kids who can be in the top 25 because they definitely have the ability.”
Over at Metuehen, coach Marty Holleran will be looking to better a fine 8-3 performance of 1987 with two seniors returning to his team.
Seniors Matt D’Augustine, who will captain the squad, and Adrian Usco- covich will be leading the way for the Bulldogs.
Rich Gerner is the only junior on
the squad that has four “talented” sophomores.
The four include Larry Weiss, who Holleran feels is his second best runner, Vincent Bonica, Chris McCann and Ryan Linsky.
“We have to make sure we have a strong fifth man," Holleran said. “We have a pretty good top four and we’ll have to develop a fifth runner.”
As far as competition goes for Me- tuchen, Holleran feels that Highland Park will be the toughest test for his squad.
“They have a lot of kids back and should be tough,” Holleran said. “We are just going to take it meet by meet,” Holleran said.
While Holleran has not set any goals thus far, he knows what it will take for a successful campaign.
“We have to get into the top five in the conference if we are going to be successful,” Holleran said.
For Bishop Ahr coach Pat O’Hara, 1988 will be a season in which the Trojans will attempt to break the .500 barrier after last year’s 4-5 record.
“We are looking to break .500,” O’Hara said. “With hard work, dedication and senior leadership we should be able to do it.”
The seniors on the squad are Jim Meyers, who is also the captain, Tom
Brickley and Vinnie Codella.“Jim and Tom have run the past
four years while Vinnie has run in his freshmen and sophomore years,” O’Hara said. “Through their leadership and the lumps they took they should be able to rub off on the other kids.”
The other kids for O’Hara are juniors Sidney Almeida and newcomers Mitch Platt and Paul Stentell.
Sophomore John Hage and freshmen Ed Olchowicz and Rich Mar- chitello round out the top nine for Bishop Ahr.
“We are looking to the opening meet at St. Mary’s,” O’Hara said. “They are the team who put us under .500 last year and if we start off with a win it will be a good sign.”
O’Hara feels that every team on the team’s schedule will be tough, but he feels the real challenges should come from South Plainfield, Colonia and Perth Amboy.
At St. Joseph’s, coach Gary Tro- janowski and his boys will be trying to top last year’s superb 6-1 record with hard work.
“We are working hard now,” Tro- janowski said. “I try to layoff the kids in the summer.”

team’s defensive signals.Trojan head coach Tony Aschettino
expects another hard-fought meeting with the Falcons tonight.
“They’ll be tough,” he said. “We’re looking forward to playing them. 1 think our division will be tough and well-balanced this year.”
St. Peter’s (N.B.) at Wardlaw- Hartridge (tomorrow), 1:30 p.m.— The Rams, who went 0-8 last year and had to forfeit their final two games due to a lack of players, opened the pre-season with 27 players under new head coach Rich Shello, the school’s Athletic Director.
Tomorrow’s opener will be a stern test for the Rams because the Car-
Hill scores twice to power Jr. Pee Wees
METUCHEN - Marvin Hill scored a pair of touchdowns on runs of 15 yards each to power the Metuehen Pop Warner football Jr. Pee Wee squad to a 34-0 rout of Roselle Park Sunday at Edgar Field in the season opener for both squads.
Carl Tanzola added a touchdown via a 12-yard run, while quarterback Dan Wallace galloped into the end zone from 10 yards out. Wallace also tossed a 20-yard scoring aerial to Chuck Poole. Tanzola chipped in with two extra-point conversion runs, while Tom Blancett and Hill contributed one apiece.
The Jr. Pee Wee defense limited Roselle Park to just two first downs.
Elsewhere, the Pee Wees opened their Fall campaign with a 13-0 triumph over Roselle Park. Jerome Cherry scored a touchdown on a five- yard scamper, while quarterback Mark Pappas added a 17-yard scoring burst. Pappas then fired an extra
point conversion pass to Jason Miller to forge the final score.
Finally, the Midgets dropped a hard-fought 13-7 decision to Roselle Park in their opener. Charles Bowles IV had the lone TD for the Midgets, a 65-yard scoring reception from quarterback Brian Bannon. Bannon then flipped an extra-point conversion pass to Ron Kaminski, Jr.
The Midgets drove deep into Roselle Park territory in the waning seconds of the contest before time ran out.
Kaminski made seven pass receptions and recovered two fumbles in a losing cause, while linebackers Alan Febus and Bowles combined for 20 unassisted tackles and three quarterback sacks.
Roselle Park improved to 1-0 with the win.
All three Metuehen contingents will travel to meet Manville tomorrow, beginning at 5:45 p.m.

Senior wide receiver Kobie Fowler adds speed in what promises to be a wide-open offensive attack. The Cardinals should score plenty of points this season.

what she does. I like that about her.”Glutz felt that the key to her club’s
success this year will be felt up front on the forward line.
“The big key will be replacing Kerry and her offensive punch,” she said. “One good thing, though, is that the other girls learned a lot from Kerry by playing with her and watching her, and now they can go out and try and be like her.
“ I think we scored 40 or 41 goals last year, and I think that will be tough to match. We’ll have to play tough defensively, and we’ll have to get scoring from our front line. Last year, teams were able to double and triple-team Kerry, but this year they won’t concentrate on just one player. They’ll play everyone a little more evenly. I think that will help.”
Glutz said that the goals she’s set for this year’s team haven’t varied from ones she’s aimed for over the last few years.
“They’re pretty much the same,” she noted. “We’d certainly like to qualify for the state tournament and would like to be very competitive in the conference. I think the conference will be tough like it always is. I think Piscataway will be a good addition. Hopefully, we’ll be up near the top this year. As long as they’re working hard, I ’ve got no complaints.”
The Rams will hope to bolster their offensive attack this year behind senior quarterback Dusty Wyman (6-2, 180), and speedy halfbacks Bakari Lee (5-9, 165) and Gary Pate (5-11, 165), both seniors. Senior split end- defensive back Steve Edisis (6-1,180) will be one of Wyman’s favorite targets, as will senior tight end Jimmy Boccher (5-11,185).
The lines will be anchored by senior tackle-linebacker Billy Miller (5-11, 210), who will call the team’s defensive signals, and senior center- nose tackle Robbin Ramos (5-9,185). The Rams are not overly big, so they’ll have to rely on their quickness and intelligence to succeed this year.
They also must stay healthy. Must. “To be successful, number one we
have to stay injury free,” admitted Shello. “We’re a very small school, so injuries would really hurt us.”
Edison and Metuehen commence their seasons next week. The Eagles host John F. Kennedy on Friday, Sept. 23 ( 7:30 p.m.), while the Bulldogs host St. Peter’s on Saturday, Sept. 24 at Edgar Field, beginning at lp .m .

owski, has graduated, but junior John Tuskarik has shown promise between the posts so far.
“He has good instincts for the ball," said Haney. “He’s been doing well.”
Haney noted that he felt that North Brunswick, Madison Central, South Brunswick and Cedar Ridge would be the teams to beat in the White Division.
“Every game will be important,” he explained. “There are competitive teams in every division. We’ll just take it one game at a time. We won’t go down without giving 110 percent.
“The kids are really looking forward to the season. They’re aggressive and hard-nosed and they’ve been working hard. They want to do well. You couldn’t ask for more from a group of guys.”
WARDLAW-HARTRIDGE Last year’s record: 7-8-1
In his first year as head coach in 1986, the sophomore-dominated Rams struggled to a 3-12 record. Last year, steady progress was made, and third-year coach John Ague is hoping that 1988 is the year that his unit finally gets over the hump.
“I think we’ve got a strong nucleus this year,” said Ague. " I’ve had a lot of these kids for three years now and they’ve grown a lot and matured together. I ’m really pleased with them so far.”
The Rams, who play their first six games on the road, are blessed with a contingent packed with senior veterans. Senior captain Mark Gruba, last year’s leading scorer with 11 goals, returns as a striker to lead the offensive attack.
“Every time he receives a pass, he’s quick to decide what to do with the ball,” stated Ague.
Seniors Jeff Shrager and Matt DelVento will man the left and right wing positions, respectively, while seniors Blake Sturke and Kevin Adair should start as midfielders. Senior Vincent Chen, junior Bill Callahan, and freshman Brian Boronac add depth at midfield.

gallan may see time as either goalies or fullbacks, while senior Rob Rizzo can alternate between the sweeper and center-halfback slot. Juniors Jack Sharp and Andy Michael may also see time in the defensive back- field, along with seniors Jerry Gone- 11a and Kevin Swenson (fullbacks).
The leading candidate at the stopper post is junior Sean Crockett, while freshman James Hong may make his presence felt there before the end of the season.
With the graduation of goalie Craig Callan, three juniors (Ken Horwitz, Gilgallan and Miller) and a sophomore Todd Kaplan are all battling for the job as top netminder.
“It’s a tossup right now,” said Ague. “All of them have gotten a lot of work. It will be a tough decision.”
Optimism reigns supreme at the Inman Avenue campus.
“I feel very good about the season,” noted Ague. “I think we’ll be over .500 at the end of the season and I hope to improve in the (New Jersey Prep Conference) tournament at the end of the season. Out of our eight losses last year, seven were by just one goal. If we apply enough pressure up top, we should be able to control the ball.”
Which is half the battle already.
METUCHEN Last year’s record: 11-9
The Bulldogs have been decimated with graduation losses this year, as 13 seniors bid farewell from last year's Central Jersey, Group I state playoff runnerup. How well Metu- chen fares this Fall will largely depend on how well its youngsters mature and progress as the season wears on.
“We have only five varsity letter winners from last year,” said head coach Ken Graf. “So we have a lot of questions we have to answer as soon as possible. But things are starting to gell. I wouldn’t call it a rebuilding year, I ’d call it a transition year. I don’t think the transition period will be long. I’m looking forward to the season.”
Flexability will be a real asset for Graf, as several players have the ability to play several positions. Senior Tony Pugliese will open as either a midfielder or stopper, while classmates Jason Murphy and Mike Russell are slated to begin the year at halfback and fullback, respectively.
Seniors Darren Zagarola, Scott Randolph, and Tung Diep will see action in Graf’s defensive alignment, while senior Dyana Leffler should see playing time at fullback. Yu Chen, also a senior, will be the backup goalkeeper to sophomore Jim Casey.
The remainder of Graf’s varsity roster is comprised of mostly freshmen and sophomores. Juniors Franklin Meltzer (forward) and Keith Derman (halfback) will probabely start, while sophomore Drew Lochli can alternate between halfback and forward.
“We could start six or seven sophomores and freshmen,” noted Graf. “They’re all talented players. They just need to gain some experience.”
Freshman Dan Hatola should see action as a wing fullback, while sophomores Andy Halpem and Jasper Lucas can switch back and forth between the wing and wing-halfback slots. Sophomore Pat Welch will be either a halfback or fullback (or both), while classmate Brad Robinson may see time at sweeper. Zack Simon, a sophomore, is expected to join the squad in October and contribute immediately.
“At least we’ll be able to keep up with every team we play physically and skill-wise on the field,” stated Graf. “We’re not a big squad, but I think we’ll be able to hold our own.” Graf expects South Plainfield, Monroe, Colonia and Spotswood to be the team’s to be reckoned with in the White Division this season.
“Those teams should be pretty good,” Graf said. “Anything could happen. It should be a very interesting year.”
ST. JOSEPH’S Last year’s record: 14-5-1
The Falcons, the Red Division champions of the GMC last year, return five outstanding seniors and some talented underclassmen. The key to their success this season, however, may lie at one position on the field.
And it’s a vital one- goalkeeper.“I feel that if my keeper’s come
through, we should do well,” said Falcon coach Jeff Bergson. “Our goalies have the potential to be good, but one of them has to emerge and take control. I’m just looking for some consistency and I’d like them to come up with a big save once in a while.”
Junior Bob Tanskey opened the season Monday against Notre Dame of Trenton, but Bergson is still looking at junior Pat SantoPietro and sophomore Brendan Gaffney as possible starters. If one of them plays consistently well in the early going, he’ll get the nod.
Meanwhile, the team ’s offense should be in fine shape with senior strikers Carmine Pascarella and David Chendak leading the way. Pascarella had 55 career goals at press time, while Chendak is coming off a 15-goal campaign.
Senior Billy Simon has been converted from sweeper to halfback, while classmate Chris Mayer mans the center-halfback slot. Mayer netted over 10 goals last Fall. Senior Will Burke can play both stopper and sweeper and “will key my defense”, according to Bergson.
“Those are the five guys I’m trying to base my team around,” stated Bergson. “The other guys will have to come through for us.”
Junior Matt Pentilicky will see time at sweeper, while classmates Jay Erikson and Brian Talty start as halfbacks. Junior Ken Stromsland and sophomore John Chacko will be defenders.
Bergson has just one goal in mind for his team.
“Every coach would like to win as many games as he can,” he noted. “But I ’m just out there trying to get
Sarzin, Reed power Jets
ALLENTOWN, N .J .- Adam Sarzin and Colin Reed scored two touchdowns apiece to power the Edison Jets’ Midget squad (the Jets) to a 27-6 victory over Allentown in Pop Warner football action Sunday.
It was the season opener for both teams.
Sarzin also added an extra point, while Michael Maurath had a touchdown-saving tackle for the winners.
Also, the Pee Wees (the Missiles) kicked off their 1988 campaign on a high note with a 7-0 triumph over Allentown. Jason Johnson scored the lone touchdown on a run in the second quarter.
Allentown dipped to 0-1.The Jr. Pee Wees (the Mauraders)

That’s when it really counts.EDISON
Last year’s record: O-H-2 The Eagles have suffered through
some very lean times in recent years, but new head coach A1 Magliaro, a Seton Hall University graduate, is hoping to turn Edison’s fortunes around- he’ll just need some time.
“We’re hanging in there,” said Magliaro, who has coached Columbia, Madison, and Oratory Prep High Schools to state titles in the past. "We’re pretty young- we have just six seniors on the whole team. I just have to stay patient and work with our talent. Right now, I’m trying to build their confidence up. We’ve got some tough games this year, but we’re working hard.”
Edison’s offensive attack will be keyed by senior tri-captain Steve Schmidt, a center-halfback.
“He’s the best technically skilled player on the team,” praised Magliaro. “He’s an intelligent kid, he’s strong with either foot, and he’s smart on the field. I think he can definitely play Division I (college) ball.”
The other tri-captains will be senior Gerard Zifchak (sweeper) and senior goalie Pete Brady.
“Gerard is really good at getting the ball out of the air,” noted Magliaro. “He’s got good skills and he leads well. Pete is real strong, aggressive, and he’s got a goalie’s mentality. He’s not afraid of the ball. He just has to work on his punting right now.”
Other key performers for the Eagles this season will be seniors Fritz Muehlbauer (right halfback), Victor Aravena (center-forward) and Alan Weinberg (right fullback); junior John Marz (fullback); and sophomore Frank Costa (outside right wing).
There won’t be any quick or magical panaceas for the Eagles this year, but Magliaro seems to have the program heading in the right direction.
“My real goal is to turn the program around and teach the kids fundamentals and soccer tactics,” Magliaro explained. “I would like them to play hard and play soccer the way it was meant to be played. We’re in a very competitive conference from what I understand and it’s a strong division soccer-wise. I think we’U be strong up front and strong in the middle, and we’ll take it from there.”

on the team, Rob DeFilippis, who will be his “guy on top” since the team has no captain.
Juniors Chris Horan, Steve Novitsky and Tom Hines will also be pounding the ground for Trojanow- ski. However, after these four the Falcons are still unsettled for the rest of the spots.
“We have not run a competition yet,” Trojanowski said. “We will run on Saturday and compare the times among my seniors and juniors.” Once again Cedar Ridge came to mind when Trojanowski was asked to name his team’s toughest competition.
“Our only loss last year was to Ce-i dar Ridge and they will be toughl again this year,” Trojanowski said/ “But we will start slow and build towards the end of the season.1 A

CASABLANCA (1943) The sort of happy accident that could only have happened under the old Hollywood studio system: the script was based on an apparently unwat- chable play, the lead roles were assigned to second and third choice actors and somehow it all came together just right. The balance of sentiment and cynicism is perfect, the principals give the most relaxed and enjoyable performances of their careers and the dialogue is full of laconic wit: “I came to Casablanca for the waters." "What waters? We're in the desert." “I was misinformed." With Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Claude Rains, Paul Henreid, Sydney Green- street and Peter Lorre. Screenplay by Julius J. Epstein, Philip G. Epstein and Howard Koch, from the play Everybody Goes to Rick’s by Murray Burnett and Joan Alison; directed by Michael Curtiz. Tuesday, Sept.
PARASAUROLOPHUS, or the “similar crested lizard,” is one of the stars of the “Dinomation’ exhibit at The Morris Museum.

Business as unusualPERE UBU
The Tenement Year (Enigma)If your world is too orderly — up
every morning at the same time to consume a well-balanced high-fiber vitamin-intensive breakfast and travel a predictable direction and distance to spend 7.5 hours performing highly regulated repetitive tasks of no immediately discernible purpose in exchange for weekly slips of paper convertible into precisely measured amounts of legal tender supporting a steady state of consumption and recreation sufficient to sustain your ability to continue the capital-replenishing activities for which the economic-governmental- educational complex has prepared you — there may be several ways out. Some of them may involve rock and roll.
Most of the possibilities of rock and roll, it’s true, have already been converted from disruptions to diversions : what used to be a truly different way of thinking and living is now, at this late decadent date, usually just another way to fool you into buying something. Or a way of directing your thoughts back toward yourself: am I cool enough, as cool as they are? Am I having the required amount of fun yet? You won’t be dangerous to Them as long as you’re absorbed in yourself or worried about yourself. But there are still certain channels that They haven’t jammed, certain sounds that can’t be twisted to Their purposes. Risks are involved; pain and dissonance are inseparable from freedom. You might have to give up some things you’ve been trained to hold on to. You might look bad in public. You might also enjoy it.
Pere Ubu is about freedom. Uninteresting kinds of skeptics will say it’s just the freedom to be sloppy — to sing off-key in a goose-honk of a voice, to deliberately lose the beat, to blur the upper register with rhythmless beats from a primitive analog synthesizer. Okay, nobody who’s grown to like the stuff will deny it takes some getting used to. But once you’ve made the leap, once you’ve declared fourth down and long yardage on the idea of Rock and Roll Cool, you’ll be amazed at how wide
open the the possibilities can be. Turn skepticism toward the rules, not toward the breakers of the rules, and it makes room for more things, and better things, than it rejects. Ubu has no time for confining ideas like the sex symbol singer, the formulaic hook or the heroic guitar solo. But for the wild ideas people get when they’re pouring their guts out at three in the morning with close friends who are doing the same thing, Ubu has all the time in the world.
Abstractions be damned. This is a terrific record by a terrific band making a terrific comeback. Ubu fizzled away a lot of momentum a few years ago — particularly after losing Tom Herman on guitar and replacing him with Red C rayola’s Mayo Thompson (whom Andy Gill once called “perhaps the most overt theoretician working in rock music” ). But after six lineups in seven years, two undeniable m asterp ieces ( The Modern Dance and Dub Housing), a handful of failed experiments and five years off for questionable behavior, they’re back. They’re back like poltergeists, and they mean business. Business as unusual. The new material is a perfect outgrowth of their best old ideas; it surprises you, it scares you, it feeds you energy, it stretches from the funereal to the whimsical, and it rocks.
Of the five players who were around during the group’s earlier peak period (1976 to 1979), Herman is the only one who hasn’t re-enlisted, but his spot’s been filled by their old friend and sound man Jim Jones, who thoroughly understands the tricky Ubu aesthetic. Like Herman, Jones is a clean, adventurous ensemble player with an instinct for the right tones and riffs to balance out the racket from the electronics and percussives; he rarely calls attention to himself and never wastes a note, but he’s as reliable as a childhood friend and as alert as a Mafia bodyguard. His twangs, flutter chords and whammy-bar warbles make “Talk to Me” a Stratocaster circus; his crunchy chords on “Say Goodbye” and “The Hollow Earth” recall the great old low-budget singles from the band's early days; his interplay with the other members during their frequent instrumental bridges makes it

seem like he’s always been there, and that’s about the best thing anyone can say about a new member of a band.
Original drummer R. Scott Krauss is now augmented by English art- noise veteran Chris Cutler, doubling the possibilities for rhythmic anarchism, and bassist Tony Maimone continues to propel the band with power and ingenuity. The key to Ubu’s unmatched range — the reason they can pull all the berserk sound effects from their able percussion section, David “Bet you never heard a human throat do that” Thomas’ voice and A lle n R a v e n s t i n e ’s th ro b - twitter-squeal-squirm devices — is that Maimone is always playing an irresistible melody, and Thomas (unhinged and uninhibited but never unfocused) is usually implying one. The Tenement Year is a barrage of excellent hooks as well as a collection of alarming noises, and it should permanently bury the old chestnut about arty industrial bands not being able to rock out.
The songwriting is as sharp as anything they’ve ever done. Since the band’s beginnings, Thomas’ viewpoint has gradually moved from teenage nihilism to near-religious ecstasy and childlike glee, and it wouldn’t be unreasonable to expect him to point the band toward excesses of flaky comedy. Nothing from the group’s late pre-breakup days or Thomas’ friendly, goofy solo albums has the rude edge of “Non-alignment Pact” or “Final Solution.” But here
Pere Ubu: David Thomas, Tony Maimone, Chris Cutler, R. Scott Krauss, Allen Ravenstine. Jim Jones.
he regains the old spookiness without giving up the lightheartedness; like other aspects of Ubu, Thomas’ lyrical perspective has broadened during their inactive years, and the reborn group is capable of turning on a dime between fear-driven energy (the upbeat but uneasy “Hollow Earth” ) and blithe, spacy rapture (“We Have the Technology” ). Any band that can graft a logic-game like “George had a hat/ But it wasn’t where it wasn’t a t” (that’s the lyric to “George Had a Hat,” in full) onto a furious rock rhythm and a disjointed trombone attack — sounding like a drunken Chomskyan linguist leading a horn-blowing gorilla through a Dead Kennedys cover — is a band unlikely to run out of ideas any time soon.
They’re still recording at Suma Studio near Cleveland, working with the same producer/ engineer who’s been with them since the mid ’70s (Paul Hamann); staying with a trusted colleague and avoiding the temptation to slicken up the sound in a high-priced room, they’ve come up with their best mix ever. Somehow, everything in the band’s enormously complex sound is placed up front on this album, from Ravenstine’s sanity-wrecking synthesizer (liable to shatter windows on “Universal Vibration” ) to Maimone’s jazzy bass (check out “Dream the Moon” for adventures in fretlessness) to the popping, churning percussion from Krauss and Cutler (particularly adept on “Rhythm King,” where bouncing reggae variations alternate
with a heart-wrenching dirge). The overall result is the most democratic rock sound imaginable, an unpredictable array of everybody’s ideas clashing and blending without bothering about how anybody’s supposed to do it.
Ubu is the wildest, weirdest, most open, most improbable, most recombinant, most invigorating band working today. They’ll shake you out of ruts you didn’t even know you were in; they’ll knock you loose from your old jaded, wearied, embittered, bought-and-sold self. It seems so obvious that it shouldn’t have to be said, but I don’t think it has been before: Pere Ubu sounds like America.

Politics and commitment
Ugolin (Daniel Auteuil) and C esar Soubeyran (Yves Montand) are up to no good in Manon o f the Spring.
A French epic comes to videoBROADCAST NEWS (1987) When
it tries to skewer shallowness and glitz in the TV news business, James L. Brooks’ follow-up to Terms of Endearment turns bogus: we’re told it’s deplorable when an anchorman splices a shot of himself crying into a harrowing interview, but it’s artistry when a producer superimposes a Norman Rockwell painting over a shot of a homecoming mercenary. What does ring true is the romantic triangle at the center: Tom Grunick, a dim bulb anchorman who’s decent enough to feel guilty about his huge salary but cynical enough to exploit his show biz charm; Jane Craig (Holly Hunter), the workaholic producer drawn to him against her better
, judgment; and Aaron Altman (Al- tBrooks), a gifted reporter made
1 s«uS and cranky by his stalled ca®r. Like its subject, Broadcast
is strongest when it sticks to pcrslpalities; Brooks’ dialogue has plentjof snap, and the on-the-job se- qiK‘iic\s give off the buzz of smart, witty;, people who define themselves through their work. With Joan Cu-
! By SCOTT J. PONTER“How does it feel, to be on your
own, with no direction home, like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone?” These lines from his ’60s classic drove the audience out of their seats and into the aisles at Bob Dylan’s Waterloo Village concert Sa-
*» v uroay night.1 Many of us grew up with Dylan’s Lyrics — classic Dostoyeveskian images of social alienation and intense, personal anguish. Many of Dylan’s contemporaries have turned into tie-dyed versions of the Platters. But he proved Saturday night that he still commands an intimate tension with an audience that would have deserted a simple folk singer long ago, relegated to the bargain bins and oldies shows.
The ’60s generation has grown up. The baby-boomers own townhouses and Nike sneakers. Where is the generation that turned on, tuned in, and dropped out? They were at Waterloo Village this past weekend, thousands of them, listening to an icon. But — surprise! — so were yuppies, bikers, teenagers, college kids and folks old enough to be grandparents. Dylan’s music is timeless. It transcends age and social standing.
Dylan has resurrected his classics and radical protest songs of the sixties on this tour. This is the quintessential Bob Dylan, the Dylan I’ve waited years to see. It was worth the wait. He has breathed new life and meaning into "Ballad of a Thin Man”
"You know something is happening out you don’t know what it is, do you, Mr. Jones?” ). The accusations of “Maggie's Farm” chew up your social conscience and spit it back at you. This isn’t music for lilly-livered liberals or self-satisfied fat cats. It was never meant to be. It’s hungry", razor sharp and intolerant of inattention.
Backed by a tight three-piece rock ensemble spearheaded by the guitar wizardry of G.E. Smith of “Saturday Night Live” fame, Dylan opened with a nearly overwhelming onslaught of “Subterranean Homesick Blues” from the Bringing I t A ll Back Home album. “It’s All Over Now Baby Blue,” originally a haunting ballad for acoustic guitar, became a straight-ahead rocker initially unrecognizable even to Dylan diehards.
It’s always been a challenge to
Is listen to Dylan — the poet laureate of i t a generation threatened with nuclear

HAIRSPRAY (1988) John Waters cultists have complained that his most recent movie is too bland (nobody eats any dog droppings) but for everyone else this comedy about early ’60s dance shows, segregation and interracial romance should work just fine. The dances and music are fun, the late Divine gives his last performance as the archetypal lower middle class mom and the satire is broad without being asinine — an achievement for Waters.

poet had the guts to put that into song. Only Dylan.) He turned“Shel- ter From the Storm,” the lilting musical masterwork from Blood On the Tracks into an enjoyable, almost danceable, country rocker. It’s impossible to predict what he’ll do next. That’s magic.
Completely absent from the show are the oft-criticized songs of the Slow Train Coming and Saved albums.
In the middle of the hour and one half show Dylan and G.E. Smith strapped on acoustic guitars for the hauntingly beautiful “Ramona” and respectable renditions of “Mr. Tambourine Man,” “Girl from the North Country” and and the intensely personal “One Too Many Mornings.” The faithful were quiet, appreciative and polite, but it did not slow the furious pace of the show and too soon the band rejoined them for a rocking rendition of his current single “Silvio” after which Dylan spoke his only two words to his fans — “Thank you.” He then catapulted into the ragged cry “I Shall be Released” and created havoc with “Like a Rolling Stone,” daring the crowd, demanding, “How does it feel?”
“Like a Rolling Stone” was a cult anthem for a generation 20 years ago and it is still the definitive anthem of our social apathy. Dylan’s songs are ablaze with emotion and searing, searching protest. They question our moral fiber, our societal values. Today, when sex is deadly, breathing is hazardous to your health, the beaches are a haven for medical waste and the surgeon general has declared that our national diet, rich in white bread and cookies, can lead to cancer, maybe its time somebody started asking questions again. The crowd at Waterloo seemed to think so. And Dylan seemed to feed on it. He even became animated at one point in “Highway 61,” which featured some brilliant slide guitar licks from G.E. Smith.
The 20-minute encore rocked the pavillion with “The Times They Are A-Changing,” “It Ain’t Me Babe” and climaxed with "Hurricane,” Dylan's best seventies protest song detailing the plight of Reuben Carter, which segued into "All Along the Watchtower,” which is arguably better known as a hit for the late Jimi Hendrix, but you couldn’t convince the Waterloo crowd of that Saturday night.
When the lights came on there was no outcry, a few moans, but who could have demanded more? Two hours of Dylan could never seem like enough, but this show, this challenge, left the audience almost as exhausted as the performers themselves. Only Dylan.
JEAN DE FLORETTE (1986)MANON OF THE SPRING (1986)Yves Montand’s magisterial per
formance as Cesar Soubeyran, a grasping, cold-hearted French patriarch, is the main reason for sitting through this two-part epic set in Provence just after World War I. Jean (Gerard Depardieu), a noble hunchback from the city, has inherited a farm and hopes to make a go of it with modern methods and hard work, but Cesar and his dim-witted nephew Ugolin (Daniel Auteuil), have concealed the water supply in a scheme to drive down the land’s value. The first film, which chronicles Jean’s ruination and death in excruciating, monotonous detail, is pretty stiff going. The second, in which Cesar and Ugolin get their comeuppance from Jean’s daughter Manon (Emmanue- lle Beart, gamboling through the hills clad in the latest designer goatherd- wear), offers revenge and mad passion, which makes for somewhat greater interest. The whole epic is stagy, melodramatic and relentlessly old fashioned, which probably accounts for its popularity on both sides of the Atlantic. Screenplay by Claude Berri and Gerard Brach, from Marcel Pagnol’s novel L ’Eau des Collines (which Pagnol himself had based on one of his own films, making this a remake of a rewrite); directed by Berri.

‘Loot5:By JEAN WHISTON
Two gray and balding veterans of the community theater circuit impart a professional gloss to Loot, the creaky but fun farce that opened last week at the Circle Playhouse in Pis- cataway and continues until Oct. 2.
John Boucher, in the role of Trus- cott, a Scotland Yard detective as devious as he is unhinged, has mastered the grand gesture as he strides about spitting his sibilants, popping his “p’s” and exploding all of the climactic words of his dialogue. His foil is Bernard Weinstein as McLeavy, an ineffectual and recently bereaved husband whose late wife’s coffin and cadaver are the centerpieces of the action about which Loot revolves.
It all takes place in the McLeavy living room, where the late Mrs. McLeavy awaits burial. Stashed in the closet are the proceeds from a bank robbery staged by the McLea- vys’ ne’er-do-well son Hal (Tom Lynch) and his accomplice Dennis (Jeff Maschi), a dimwitted undertaker’s assistant.
The pair tunneled into the bank from the funeral parlor where Dennis plies his trade, and the problem they now face is how to get the money out of the McLeavy closet. Mrs. McLeavy’s casket, of course, offers the perfect receptacle but what to do with the late Mrs. McLeavy?
A plan is hatched but it goes awry when the funeral cortege runs into an accident enroute to the cemetery, the casket and its contents are hauled
It isn’t true that politics and art don’t mix. The problem is that the people who try' to blend them often have trouble with one or the other — or, as is usually the case, both. Cry Freedom, supposedly a paen to interracial understanding, slights Steven Biko on the craven assumption that no white audience will sit still for a black hero. The most recent example, Betrayed, fails not because we don’t want to hear the nasty truth about ourselves, but because its America the Unbeautiful pamphleteering undermines an already preposterous story' — a double betrayal as great as anything the plot has to offer.
In Running on Empty politics is a condition of life. The hero and heroine, Arthur and Annie Pope, are Vietnam era radicals who have been lying low since they engineered the bombing of a factory that turned out napalm — an explosion that, we are told, left a janitor blind and paralyzed. Their cause has been forgotten by all but a few fellow radicals and the FBI, which is still looking for them after 15 years, obliging them to change names and addresses about as often as Elizabeth Taylor acquires and drops husbands. Life underground is further complicated by their two sons — one born shortly before the bombing and now a teenager, the other literally raised on the run —for whom new paperwork and school backgrounds must be cooked up after every disappearance.
Though Arthur and Annie are the real heroes of Naomi Foner’s script (a fact that only becomes obvious right at the end), the viewpbint character is their oldest son, Daniel, who must help guard his parents’ identities even as he undergoes the usual adolescent Sturm und Drang. This is one of the few current American movies in which a teenager belongs at the center of the story: as the title suggests, Annie and Arthur literally have nowhere to go. They can never pursue the careers and rewards their gifts and intelligence put within their reach; though they continue to work for their favorite causes and help organize community groups, they must dodge the spotlight and haul stakes whenever they start to draw attention. Daniel, on the other hand, has great potential, yet signing him up for a college would of necessity root him to one spot — and thus separate him from his parents once and for all. Whether the Popes — particularly Arthur, the clan’s strategist and most fervent radical — will accept this choice and allow Daniel to realize his future is the crux of the story.
Running on Empty allows you to respect the Popes even if you don’t accept their views; watching the price they pay each day for their beliefs makes it difficult to write those beliefs off. The mechanics of underground life seem authentic: clandestine meetings with the remnants of the movement, fishing in old newspapers for obituaries that serve as the foundation for a new identity, abandoning that identity because of an unfamiliar car parked across the street or simply the gut feeling that the feds are closing in. Running on Empty roots for the Popes but it doesn’t make a case for their sainthood: Arthur is allowed to look like a jerk when he refers to Daniel’s beloved classical music as “decadent, bourgeois crap.” The lion’s share of the credit for this sympathy belongs to the cast: Judd Hirsch and Christine Lahti as the parents, River Phoenix as Daniel and Martha Plimpton, who shines in what could
back to the living room and Detective Truscott resumes his snooping about.
The playbill for Loot gives credit to everyone under the sun who contributed to the production including Susan Cantese of the Arbor Rescue Squad. She was the source of Mrs. McLeavy’s remains, the Resusei- Annie life-size doll on which squad members practice their resuscitation skills.
But nowhere does the program mention the dialect coach responsible for the very believable (at least to American ears) British accents, which all six cast members employ with a mastery that would be the envy of many a professional. In fact, Maschi’s Liverpudlian patois was a little too good — so thick on opening night that at times intelligibility was sacrificed for authenticity.
Stacy Bain makes her third Circle Playhouse appearance as the conniving Fay, the nurse hired by McLeavy to care for his ailing wife and who plans to make McLeavy her seventh husband in 10 years. Naturally, her plans require that McLeavy become a widower and the ever resourceful Fay has helped things along. (Murder was the only option because, as Fay explains, euthanasia is against her religion.) Mrs. Bain, who never set foot on a stage before being induced to perform for Circle Playhouse a year ago, strides the stage with confidence and like the even more polished Maschi and Lynch, turns in a creditable performance.
But Boucher, a chemist by profession, and Weinstein, a professor of

have been the forgettable role of Daniel’s hoydenish girlfriend.
Among its other virtues, Running on Empty marks something of a comeback for its director, Sidney Lumet. Since directing The Verdict in 1982, Lumet has staggered through a pair of political tracts that suffered from a combination of ineptitude and bad timing: Daniel, a dishonest gloss on the Julius and Ethel Rosenberg case released just after the publication of The Rosenberg F ile set the record straight; and Power, which warned that political consultants were going to rule the world but appeared about a year after political consultants became old news. Add to that the dopey Garbo Talks and you have a notable career low.
In Running on Empty Lumet’s direction is understated and effective; he steps back from scenes that would emit soap bubbles if leaned on too heavily, such as Annie’s meeting with her father, or Daniel’s anonymous visit to his grandmother’s townhouse. One can only wish Lumet’s politics allowed him to probe the Popes’ beliefs; the film’s le t’s-agree-to-disagree approach precludes any chance that their basic attitudes may be challenged or scrutinized. The film is also very weak on certain practical matters, such as where and how far the Popes travel during their migrations. The first 10 minutes take place in a vaguely Southern locale, and not until the last 10 minutes do we learn the family’s new hideout is in New Jersey; surely a sense of place would be vital to a clan that must always have several escape routes in mind.
Running on Empty doesn’t offer the ideal mix of art and politics; peaceful coexistence is more like it. Yet there is a ring of pitiable truth when Annie, reminded of the man destroyed in the bombing, cries “He wasn’t supposed to be th e re !” Neither were the Khmer Rouge and the boat people, but there they were. It would be nice to see a pro-radical film acknowledge that personal commitment in the ’60s had long- lasting consequences outside our borders, but I suspect that film will be a long time in coming.
Rated PG-13. Showing at area theaters.

Apart refracts the antiapartheid struggle through the eyes of a white 13-year-old, Molly Roth, whose father must flee the country to avoid arrest, leaving his wife Diana to carry on the struggle and raise their family. At its strongest, the film examines the tension between Diana’s unyielding moral fervor, which alone gives her the strength to carry on when she herself is put behind bars, and Molly’s uncomprehending resentment at how little room that fervor leaves for other people. At times it’s hard to tell which is more brutal: Pretoria’s treatment of blacks and dissidents (embodied in the notorious 90-day Detention Act, which allowed the arrest and re-arrest of political opponents without formal charges) or Diana’s neglect of Molly, who must bear the brunt of ostracism without understanding its cause. When a government minion accuses Diana of using politics to cover up the fact that
English at Kean College, have the meatier roles and the greater experience that enable them to perform at full throttle. At one point in the proceedings when Boucher’s sly efforts to elicit a confession from bank robber Lynch fail, he wrestles him to the floor and delivers a most convincing, no-holds-barred pummeling.
Rounding out the six-member cast is Gregory Ross Barca in the walk-on part of Meadows, Detective Trus- cott’s uniformed assistant.
Loot, the work of Joe Orton, is
she’s a terrible mother, the charge hits home.
The film’s complexity and strength begin to waver when Diana, allowed to return home after a suicide attempt, begins a personal and political rapprochement with Molly, who grows to understand and support her mother’s cause. The fundamental problem lies in ShawTi Slovo’s script, which she wrote as both an act of personal exorcism and a political statem ent. The charac te rs are modeled on her own parents, Guy Slovo and Ruth First; the political awakening that comes to Molly at an early age evaded her real life counterpart until a few years ago, when Ruth First was killed by a parcel bomb. (Guy Slovo, still alive, remains one of the few white members of the Afrikan National Congress.) Thus, in trying to uphold her mother's ideals, Ms. Slovo ends up plastering over the emotional truths that give the film its initial power — she even ducks the fact that both her parents were charter members of the South African Communist Party, which must raise questions of motivation even among those who would buy into the film's politics.
A World Apart starts as portraiture and ends as propaganda — a bumpy transition that leaves you feeling rooked, despite the superb performances by Barbara Hershey and Jo- dhi May as Diana and Molly and the intelligent direction by Chris Menges (the master cinematographer behind The K illing Fields and The Mission). Like the vastly inferior Cry Freedom, it deals with a simpler period in the antiapartheid battle — before the ANC turned terroristic and began devoting more time to factional warfare than constructive change. Shawn Slovo had her own story to tell, and the result must be judged on its own terms. But there is a crying need for a South African film set in the here-and-now, one that honestly grapples with the question of whether a group that drops burning tires over the shoulders of its opponents would be much of an improvement over the Afrikaners. I suspect that film, too, will be a long time coming.
Rated PG. Area showing at the Montgomery Twin Theatre, Rocky Hill. (609) 924-7444.

Goal list for year nearing completionMETUCHEN — Improved math
scores and cardiovascular fitness rank high on the list of goals and objectives for borough students the Board of Education is preparing to vote on.
While the policy has been redrafted several times over the past months, the most noticable change being the addition of a mathematics goal relating to the High School Proficiency Test scores.
By June 1989, the district’s 9th graders will have an “increased proficiency in math” as reflected in the mean score compared to 1988. The district’s objective is to have 92 percent of regular students achieving a passing score.
An analysis of the district’s HSPT results presented at last week’s board meeting showed that 84.3 percent of 9th graders taking the test demonstrated only minimal levels of proficiency in math, creating concerns about improving scores and making the mathematics objective number one on the list.
The second objective is to have an increased level of physical fitness, levels and indicators of which will be set by September of this year.
In addition, the board would specifically like to see 8th graders and high school students perform better in cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength and endurance and flex- ibilty as it relates to physical fitness.
Another objective is better oral skills for foreign students, specifically a goal stating that 85 percent of the third level students will improve
their oral proficiency by achieving a score of 80 percent or better on a validated teacher-made test.
It was suggested at the meeting that three foreign language teachers from out of the district whose students are not involved in this process be used to validate the content of the test to make sure it meets the goal.
Reducing ethnic prejudice and educating students about the Holocaust make up the fourth objective. Students will be asked to demonstrate that they have gained knowledge about prejudice, the Holocaust and acts of genocide throughout history.
The next two objectives center around critical thinking in both social studies and science. The goal is that by June of the following year, 85 percent of the students in grades 10, 11, and 12 in honor social studies will demonstate the ability to process information and solve problems, as measured on an end-of-year essay question which will be scored on critical thinking.
Critical thinking in science is a two-year objective to be achieved by 1990 in which students in selected classes of biology, chemistry, and physics will improve in higher-level thinking skills in order to process information and solve problems.
Once the board adopts the list of objectives in September, the county Superintendent of Schools must approve the policy. The board said it is looking for continued input from district parents, staff and teachers in its efforts to finalize the plan.

Rutgers debunks incinerator plan
EDISON — Township officials were assured Wednesday by Rutgers University representatives they have no plans for installing a toxic waste incinerator in conjunction with a building the university plans to erect in Edison for the storage of low-level radioactive materials, chemicals and other substances used in connection with laboratory activities.
The new structure would replace an existing facility known as the Gamma Greenhouse on Davidson Road on the Busch Campus in Pisca- taway.
The meeting with university representatives at which the township was represented by Lawrence Pollex, business administrator, and John Grun, health officer, was prompted by the release this week by Friends of the Rutgers Ecological Preserve of documents relating to plans for the new storage building and, purportedly, a toxic waste incinerator also to be installed on a site just off Kilmer Road.
At Monday night’s agenda session of the Township Council, Councilman John Hogan claimed that the documents released by the Friends had been “stolen" from university files.
“It’s been exaggerated out of all proportion in terms of what they propose to do," Hogan said.
Council members indicated they would have no problem with a storage building such as the one proposed but would have second thoughts about an incinerator. However, they decided to delay taking any official position until all of the facts could be learned.
“The long and the short of it is there is no incinerator,” said Pollex after Wednesday’s meeting.
According to Pollex, he and Grun were told that the incinerator plan was devised some months ago by a junior member of the university staff, who was told by his superior to forget the whole idea. However, “the word was not spread” and the plans found their way into the files.
“I received assurances,” Pollex said, “there are no plans for an incinerator, not this week, not next year, not in the foreseeable future.”
Pollex said the university uses the services of an outside waste hauler to
dispose of any materials that can't go into landfills and the Rutgers representatives reported they have no desire to operate an incinerator because, for one reason, such a small unit would not be cost-effective. The Rutgers people, he said, are exploring the possibility of using a toxic waste incinerator that American Cyanamid Co. is hoping to build in Bridgewater and would prefer to rely on such a facility.
Pollex said he and Grun also were shown architectural plans for the proposed storage building in Edison and, according to Pollex, the university representatives said they had intended to request a meeting in about a month to outline the proposal to Mayor Anthony M. Yelencsics.
Pollex also commented that in the past Rutgers has been “very cooperative” in providing information about projects that might be of interest or concern to the township.
The Rutger News Service has confirmed that the Environm ental Protection Agency has filed a complaint against the university which would impose fines of approximately $23,000 for “paper violations” related to the university’s record keeping and documentation at the current Gamma Greenhouse facility. He said the university is working with the EPA to resolve the complaint.
Rutgers has been under fire by Friends of the Rutgers Ecological Preserve for its proposals to develop more than 300 acres of university land in Piscataway, Highland Park and Edison for a mixture of uses including housing. It is their contention the project will have a severe adverse impact on the area, including the preserve.
Susan Kozel, a university senator and lobbyist for the Friends said she and Don Pierce, the Republican mayoral candidate in Piscataway, intend to call upon the township to urge an investigation of the university’s plans for the new storage facility.
“It appears the university will not fully disclose the facts on something as controversial as a hazardous waste facility unless it is forced to do so,” she said.
Saturday classes begin this week in Metuchen
METUCHEN — Beginning this week, area youngsters will have an opportunity to spend Saturdays doing something more interesting than looking at cartoons on television.
The Metuchen Saturday Youth Enrichment Program will be back in session at Metuchen High School and will run for the next seven weeks.
It will offer such varied fare as karate courses, seminars on the execution of magic tricks, classes to perfect cheerleading, and training that will offer a babysitter certificate.
The courses correspond to the grade level of the child and classes are available for pre-schoolers through high school freshmen.
The classes cost $16 for Metuchen
residents and $20 for non-Metuchen residents. Some courses will have a materials fee which should be paid with registration. Mail-in applications are obtained at the Metuchen library. In-person registration is at Metuchen High School weekdays from 9:30 a.m. until 2 p.m. For information call 494-0455.
The youth program is also offering a trip October 15 to Baltimore’s inner harbor.
For the theatrically inclined, a production of “Sleeping Beauty” will be presented in the Metuchen High School auditorium November 6 at 3 p.m. by the Yates Children’s Theater in conjunction with the enrichment program. Tickets cost $4.

The “missing” hours have been restored to post offices, where service was curtailed last winter because of budget cuts.
As of last Saturday, post offices in Edison, Metuchen and nearby communities resumed their former schedules.

Scam artist tries to bilk merchants
METUCHEN — A reverse shopping spree was the intent of a man signing himself Jim Walter who cruised Main Street Saturday. His modus operandi was to enter stores, take items from the store shelves, claim he had bought them but did not have the receipt and seek to collect the refund.
As far as police know the ploy was successful only at Seldow’s Stationery store at 410 Main Street.
The suspect was described as a white male, dressed in a light blue shirt and dark blue pants, in his late 30’s to mid 40’s, with an auburn beard, and balding.
David Belowich of Seldow’s called the police after refunding $55.12 to a man who, on second thought, Belowich believed had come into the store empty handed.
Patrolman William McDuffy and Patrolman Anthony Carro were told the suspect had come to the register, claiming he had bought a briefcase for his grandmother, who was dying, and had no need for such an accoutrement. He said he had lost the receipt for the purchase and received a refund.
Belowich became suspicious and watched the man walk into Wemick’s Pharmacy nextdoor at 412 Main Street. Belowich told McDuffy and Carro he called Wemick’s and asked if the man was a frequent customer. He was told the man was a stranger and was attempting to return goods.
When identification was asked of the suspect, he panicked and fled into the street.
Passersby reported to police a man fitting the description given by Belowich had moments before jumped into his car and sped off.

The program will be at 7 p.m. Monday, October 3, and include stories for children of all ages. Registration may be handled by calling 632-8526 or in person at the library, 480 Middlesex Avenue.

More fund-raisers for Kare for KarenMETUCHEN — Karen Germain
Cafaro is slowly recovering from a bone marrow transplant conducted two weeks ago to combat multiple myloma, a rare cancer. Now it is up to her friends and family to raise the $250,000 needed to cover the cost of the surgery.
According Karen’s sister, Pat Cirri, Mrs. Caffaro is still closely monitored in her isolation room at the M.D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute in Houston, Texas. Mrs. Caffaro's immune system has begun to recuperate and sometime this week she will be removed from her isolation room to a semi-isolation room.
The campaign to raise funds continues with a skate-a-thon held 17 September at the Kendall Park roller rink. Skaters of all ages are urged to recruit sponsors who will donate money based on hours spent by skaters circling the rink.
The skate-a-thon will proceed form
7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and free entry to the roller rink is provided if the skater mentions Karen’s name. Contact Dina Mistachelli at 707-4062 for further information.
The flea market held September 10 at Fugle-Hummer Post, American Legion, supplemented the Kare for Karen fund with an additional $825. Pat Cirri, sister to Mrs. Cafaro, said people were donating flea market items for the cause "like crazy! ’’
A major fund-raiser will be held October 22 at Metuchen High School. It will be a dinner and performances by such luminaries as illusionist David Copperfield, Broadway songstress Lonny Price, and the Morris Nanton Trio.
Tickets at $50 each are available by writing: Kare for Karen, P. O. Box 204, Edison, N.J., 08818-0204. Address checks to “Kare for Karen.” Call Pat Cirri at 2254449 with any questions concerning any of the fundraisers or Karen’s condition.

Area teams boast first-rate talentBy ALLAN CONOVER
Somerset P ress Sports Editor
When local high school football te a m s co n c lu d e th e i r se a s o n s Thanksgiving Day or a week la te r in the playoffs, most of the seniors will toss their jerseys into the laundry basket for the final time.
However, a select few will continue their careers on the collegiate level. And an even m ore select few — the true cream of the crop — will be playing ball for big-time NCAA Division I program s in the near future.
It takes a special type of ath lete to achieve Division I-A status. There a re plenty of 5-foot-8, 150-pound scatbacks who devastate their high school opponents, but they won’t turn the head of m ost m ajor college recru iters — unless there’s a 6-3, 240-pound lineman standing next to him.
Size is vital, and so is speed. While quickness is so often associated with backs and receivers, i t ’s also essential for linebackers and linemen who hope to play m ajor college ball. Find yourself a hefty, 6-2 linebacker who runs the 40 in 4.6 seconds, and scouts a re certain to find him, too.
This fall there will be a handful of seniors from the 20-school Somerset P ress coverage a rea that have strong chances of playing Division I football, either a t the I-A or I-AA level. The difference will be determ ined during the next nine or 10 weeks.
Two of the top I-A candidates are a t B ridgew ater-R aritan West, where D A R R E N H OW ELL an d DAN SMITH will be playing ball.
Howell is a 6-foot-3,230-pound tight end who earned first-team All- Som erset County honors las t year after grabbing 28 passes for 314
yards. R em arkably, this is only his second year playing football.
“He’s got good speed for a big guy,” comm ented West coach Tony Maglione. “ A lot of the big schools a re interested in him. He’s a definite blue-chipper. Both D arren and Dan are legitim ate prospects. ’ ’
H iMATT MORRILL
Somerville tight end
Sm ith is a 6-4, 260-pound tackle — just the kind of size the m ajor schools like. Both Howell and Smith a re also fine students, som ething tha t schools have kept m ore in mind since Proposition 48 was introduced two years ago.
Im m aculata High of Somerville, a parochial power, has one surefire Division I-A candidate in placekicker BRIAN QUINN. Quinn, a soccer- style booter, drilled four field goals
las t year, booms m ost of his kickoffs inside the 5 and averaged 35 yards a punt.
“H e’s definite Division I m ateria l,” said Im m aculata coach P ierce Frauenheim . “ He kicks every day during the sum m er. He’s w earing holes in our field .”
O ther Division I possibilities from Im m aculata a re fullback-linebacker BILL GUTERL and running back JASON ROYSTER.
Somerville, one of the s ta te ’s m ost frequent playoff participants, has a good one in tight end MATT MORRILL. Morrill snared 18 passes —
m any of them in tight traffic — for 236 yard s and two touchdowns last y ea r and was an All-Somerset County selection. At 6-4,225, he has excellent size — and he’s still growing.

HELLO. GOODBYE. TEMPORARY PERS0HHEL
By DAVE SIMINOFFBOUND BROOK - What a differ
ence a year makes. Last year, the spotlight was on the new LaMonte Field and a senior-dominated Bound Brook High football team coached by Len Koupiaris.
This season, 15 seniors, 15 juniors and five sophomores look to improve on a 3-6 m ark under first-year mentor Tony Pascarell. The spotlight is now on the players, not the field.
“1 would like to see m ore kids out for the team ,” Pascarell said. “ We have just five sophomores, but we have 28 freshmen. The kids have had no problem adjusting to the new system. P ractices, attitudes and the work ethic have been excellent. And how we practice will be how we play. The team concept has been instilled and we will be extrem ely organized on and off the field. Everything is going smoothly. I ’d say we’re about two days ahead of schedule. We believe in te a m u n ity ; we do e v e ry th in g together. And we have an excellent, dedicated staff.”
Gone from last y ear’s squad are G ary U lm er, Steve K rauss, Tom Bartle and David Jones, among others. But this season’s players, although many a re inexperienced, are working hard. But as is the case with m any sm all schools, injuries could play a p art a s to the success or failure of the team . The turnout w asn’t bad, but depth is still a problem.
“ We haven’t had any m ajor injuries, except for our kicker (Ed Kos- cielski), who was operated and is out for the season after tearing ligam ents in a knee,” Pascarell noted. “ But we’ve had a lot of muscle pulls because some kids didn’t believe me when I told them to come to practice in shape. Only about 50 percent cam e in shape. The other 50 percent are paying the price now. ”
The C rusaders’ strengths, as they approach season in the Valley Division of the Mountain Valley Conference, appear to be the offensive backfield and the defense because of their quickness. Their weaknesses seem to be size and depth.
“ We’re also weak because of our lack of experience —■ we lost a lot of sen io rs ,” P a sc a re ll com m ented . “ We’ll try to m ake up for it in scrim m ages and we’ll run situations in practice, but it’s tough to m ake for. We are getting leadership in practice from Bill Hurley, Jim Al- banese, Rich Peoples and E ric Cobb. T hey ’re e n co u rag in g th e o th e r players, a re up in front during drills and are take-charge guys. ”
Hurley (6-0, 190), a senior, who missed a starting assigm ent in last y ear’s opener because of a knee injury, will be the starting quarterback. The rest of the multiple-offense backfield includes senior halfback Peoples (5-9, 170), junior halfback Joe Mancini (510, 170) and junior fullback E ric Cobb (6-2, 210). Sophomore halfback Curtis M acRae (5-8, 150) will also see action in the ro tating backfield. Junior Noah Brody (5-9,160) will be the backup QB.
As of press tim e, four players were working a t split end, including seniors Mark M ayem ik (510,165), Chris
Settle (510, 165) and M att Vander- Goot (510, 175) and junior Russel Cobb (511,170). The tight end will be senior Jay Campo (511,180).
The offensive line consists of junior Jeff Hoagland (6-4, 230) and senior Nate Chudy (6-0, 190) a t tackle, Al- banese (510, 180), a senior, and either seniors Je rry M iller (59,175) and John Covert (6-0, 195) or junior M ark Ritchie (51,180) a t the guards, and either seniors Jam es Villamil (510,170) or Tom Andreola (59,170) a t center.
Mancini will handle the punting and kicking, and Andreola will probably do the long snapping.
On the defensive front, Covert should be the middle guard, while Hoagland, Chudy and junior Jack Miller (59, 175) are battling for the two tackle spots. The linebacking corps will come from Albanese, E ric
Cobb, Hurley, Mancini or Villamil. The battle for the secondary is between Peoples, Campo, R ussel Cobb, M ayem ik and Settle.
After this Saturday’s final scrim m age a t South Hunterdon, the Crusaders will open the season F riday, Sept. 23, a t 7:30 p.m . a t Roselle Park .
P asc a re ll expects his toughest com petitors to be Im m aculata, Roselle, Roselle P ark , David B rearley of Kenilworth and New Providence. But he added th a t Middlesex “ is alw ays a tough gam e.”
“Our m ain goal is to be respectable both on and off the field,” Pascarell added. “We w ant them to have done everything they could do, both m entally and physically, when on and off the field. We w ant to build character and a positive m ental attitude. I think we can be respectable and competitive in every gam e.”

DUNELLEN — After a winless season two years ago, the Dunellen High football returned to respectability last year with a 5-4 record. Now, the Destroyers and third-year head coach Pio Pennisi a re looking to turn the com er and become state playoff contenders.
Gone from last year a re Danny Lang (G-LB), Kevin D rake (TE-DB) and Rob Ussia (FL-DE). But Pennisi has 31 kids out for this y e a r’s varsity squad, a num ber which pleases him.
LESTER PATAKI
“That’s a pretty good num ber,” Pennisi said. “We alw ays around tha t range and we also have 20 freshmen out this year. Some Group 3 or 4 schools only get from 30-40 kids.
“ And so far, practice has been pretty good and the attitudes a re good. But I ’m disappointed with the conditioning. We’ve always prided ourselves with being in condition. Because we’re sm aller, we have to be ready for the second half. I t’s running, not strength; w e’re pretty strong. The kids know it and they’ll work harder. They have to realize they have to push a bit more. ”
The Destroyers, who a re an independent this season a fte r two years
in the tough Delaware R iver Conference, started practice on Aug. 22, a week before most team s, because they open the season a week early, this Saturday against B lair Academy a t 2 p.m. in Columbia Park .
“Opening practice a week early puts that much ahead of everybody,” Pennisi noted. “ But I ’m not crazy about opening the season early because I don’t w ant the break (a week off), but it’s better than having it in the middle of the season. Plus, opening early le t’s people scout us m ore.”
One of the D estroyers’ strengths should be their experience, specifically a t quarterback, running back and guard. All s ta rte rs have been there for three years.
“Having the three-year s ta rte rs and our ability to have a balanced a ttack should be our strengths,” Pennisi offered. “ We hope to be able to pass and run whenever we want. We want to keep the defense thinking. And our defense will be good up the m iddle.”
As of p ress tim e, the D estroyers had no m ajo r injuries, just norm al leg and m uscle pulls, and a sprained ankle by senior InKwan Han (5-3, 155), the starting tailback.
Besides Han, the res t of the s ta rting backfield includes senior quarterback Troy Nagel (5-10, 165) and fullback Joe Lockwood (5-9, 170). Juniors G ary Roscoe (5-9, 170) and Joe Bellamy (5-5, 160) will also see action a t running back.
Junior Mike North (5-9, 155) will probably be the split end, the flanker will either be senior Jason Gibney (5-8, 160), the backup QB, or junior Anthony M artino (5-11,160). Seniors M ark W arren (5-10, 165) and Chris Ruggerio (5-10, 175) will handle the tight end duties.
The offensive line includes seniors Lester P atak i (5-9, 190) and Rob Potts (5-10, 190) a t guard, junior Chad H am rah (6-2, 220) and either seniors Kevin Wilson (5-10, 170) and Sean Mulvaney (5-10, 210) or freshm an John Coluntano (5-11,210) a t the tackle spots, and junior Doug Portik (5-10,190) a t center.
“ We’ll run out of the ‘I ’ and we’ll use slots, pro set, double tight, and

m isd irec tion ,” Pennisi rem arked . “ Defenses won’t be able to key our fu llback like n o rm al for an ‘I ’, m ainly because of our experience.”
On defense, Dunellen will run a split-4 with a six-man front, which includes just two down guards.
Those two down m en will be Hamrah and either Portik o r Mulvaney. The players battling for the two end spots a re Roscoe, Bellamy, W arren and Ruggerio, while the rovers will be Lockwood and Potts. H an and P ataki will be the inside linebackers.
The two defensive halfbacks will com e from com petition betw een North, Gibney, M artino and senior Phil Heiney (5-10, 160). Nagel is the safety.____________________________
“We have a sw arm ing type of defense,” Pennisi stated. “ It looks like th e re ’s holes, but they get filled quickly.”
Han will handle the kicking and P atak i is the punter.
“ We’re working h a rd on special team s,” Pennisi com m ented. “ You need some big plays to win all your gam es and do well in the s ta te s .”
Pennisi expects his m ajo r competition to come from South Hunterdon, B la ir A cadem y , Spotsw ood and Green Brook, but em phasized there a re no walkovers.
“ The nice thing, though, is that we’re definitely going into each game knowing we have a shot to win,” Pennisi said. “ It would be nice to be
in a league, but i t ’s not nice being in one knowing we don’t have a shot to win it. I ’m glad we’re out of the DRC. This year, i t ’s so m uch easier to get the kids up knowing each gam e is a contest — to know if we do our best we can win.”
F o r a team which has won just five ganes the la s t two years , the goals a re lofty, but not unattainable.
“ We would like, and a re going for, to win all our gam es and get in the s ta te s (C e n tra l J e r s e y G roup 1 p layoffs),” Pennisi added. “Sure, th a t’s a goal of a lot of coaches, but if th e re ’s no injuries and we play the best we can, the goals a re possible this season.”

Bulked-up Bengals looking for b ig yearBy BRIAN FLORCZAK
GREEN BROOK - It took exactly one day of practice for Green Brook’s George Bessette to know he had what every other football coach covets: a m am m oth offensive and defensive line.
Scanning the practice field a t Green Brook High, Bessette saw a Group I Bengals’ team with enough size to resem ble a Group IV squad. Not tha t the first-year coach minded, however.
“ I rem em ber thinking a fte r our first practice that the kids were unusually large for a sm all school,” Bessette recalled. “ It’s a big group of kids we have here.
“ Working with these kids has been a real pleasure. We have some big boys on this team . If we think we can use tha t size to run straight a t other team s we’ll do it .”
After turning Lakewood into a Group III power the past three years, Bessette will now attem pt to continue Green Brook’s past history of football excellence. l a s t season the Bengals finished with a 6-3 m ark.
Helping ensure tha t Bessette keeps the Bengals growling will be an offensive and defensive line th a t averages over 200-pounds.

A running back a season ago, Patin has im pressed the coaching staff with his athletic ability.
“We’re cautiously optimistic going into the season,” B essette said. “ We have a new quarterback in Patin who was a halfback the past three years, so he’s under the gun.
“We’re looking forward to this year. Our goals are to have a winning season and to m ake the playoffs. In order to do that, w e’ll have to be injury-free and have some luck along the way. These kids a re capable of a good yea r.”
If the Bengals’ offensive line plays to its potential, than Green Brook’s running backs should have some

huge holes to run through. Forem ost am ong the ball ca rrie rs for Green Brook will be Chris Bobrowski (5-10, 165) and Trevor Je lm ert (5-9, 175). Also slated to see tim e in the backfield is Steve W epracht.
Wideouts Ray K ellerm an (6-1,185) and Tim Pochick, meanwhile, will be the B engals’ key receivers when B essette decides to throw the ball out of his squad’s Wing-T attack. Tight end Scott Reilly (6-3, 245) is an excellent blocker and tough to bring down afte r catching the pigskin.
On defense, the Bengals will use the ‘50’ alignm ent.
“ We have 12 seniors on the team and 40 kids turned out,” B essette explained. “ As is usually the case early in the year, the defense has been ahead of the offense because the offense has m ore things to learn.
“ Hopefully we can m atch up with o ther team s because of the size we have here. For a big team , we have average speed. We’re certain ly not burners by any stre tch of the im agination.”
With most of his players scheduled to see action both offensively and defensively, B essette will unleash a defensive unit tha t appears to be rock solid.
Two starting linebackers spots will be m an n ed by B obrow ski and Kubick, with sophom ores Tim M yers and Joe F erry also figuring in the B engals’ plans. Schaeffer, m eanwhile, will handle defensive end chores with Reilly'
Plugging the holes up front for G reen Brook will be H Jyannis, Miller and sophomore Nick Suvolich. In the defensive backfield, Patin , Je lm ert,
K ellerm an and W eprecht should keep opposing receivers honest.
“ The kids here have a g rea t a ttitude ,” B essette said. “ This past sum m er we had a weight program for the kids and they w ere really dedicated. Our conditioning has rea lly come along since the first day of p ractice.
“ G reen Brook is g rea t comm unity,
and we would love to be able to genera te som e excitem ent this season. I had been in a sm all school environm ent before, and I w as eager to get back to th a t .”
B essette will be assisted th is fall by R alph Demech, Bill Malone, Dan Podobed and Alex Miller. Green Brook gets its season underw ay when it hosts Lakeside on Sept. 23.

Bluejays battling game of numbersBy DAVE SIMINOFF
MIDDLESEX - There seem s to be a trend developing late in this decade. Enrollm ents a re declining a t an alarm ing ra te a t m any high schools. Therefore, it is fairly safe to assum e that the num ber of athletes available to football coaches are declining as well.
That fact is painfully evident to Paul Murphy, head coach of the Middlesex Blue Jays. Murphy, who has enjoyed his share of success through 16 years a t the helm , enters the new campaign with a serious
RODGERNEPTON
numbers problem. I^ast season, the Bluejays had slightly m ore than 30 players on the varsity, but that has dropped to ju s t 26 this year.
"W e’re in trouble numbers-wise,” M u rphy s a id m a t te r -o f - fa c t ly . "R ight now we have 26 kids, the least ever, but w e’re hoping for a couple more. We have only seven seniors and 10 sophomores. We probably won’t even have a junior varsity team this year. Enrollm ent is down and the num ber of athletes is way down. We’re in that cycle.”
Middlesex suffered through a disappointing 2-7 season a year ago with a senior-dominated squad. The Jays lost nearly everybody to graduation, including All-Mountain Valley Conference perform ers Andy Venutolo (RB), John Hopeck (LB) and Kevin Price (DT), as well as starting quarterback Paul Murphy. As if that w asn’t enough, the guy expected to take over a t quarterback this year,
junior Rodger Nepton (5-11, 180), broke his leg in the second junior varsity gam e last year and has no varsity experience.
“ Last year was one of the m ost disappointing,” Murphy noted. “We were in a lot of real close gam es and could have easily been 7-2. We just cam e up short all the time. ”
Nonetheless, practice is well underw ay for th is y ear’s crop, which is probably M urphy’s most inexperienced. The sm all num bers and the lack of varsity action provide Murphy with possibly the biggest challenge of his career. But he isn’t crying the blues.
“ It sounds like a gloomy situation, but from a coaching standpoint, I ’ve enjoyed practice to this point,” Murphy rem arked. “The attitudes have been super and the kids a re working very hard. I ’m hoping th a t will help us. We hope to get some gam e experience in our scrim m ages to find out what kind of football p layers we have. So far, the kids have done everything we’ve asked; we have them playing a few positions. We’ll do a lot of experim enting. This will be the hardest challenge I ’ve had as a coach, but I ’ve enjoyed it. We just have to be realistic and hope they give 100 percent — and they a re right now.”
But the bottom line is still the depth problem , w hich re s tr ic ts p lay e r m ovem ent and doesn’t allow the necessary repetitions a t the p layers’ prim ary position because he has to learn m ore tha one.
“ If anybody gets hurt, we’ll be in big trouble, particularly in the line,” Murphy adm itted. “ We’re not big and injuries could decim ate us. And with our inexperience, it just depends on how fast we come along and staying injury-free.”
As of p ress tim e, the injuries were limited to three pulled groin muscles and two slight knee injuries. But none a re serious and none were to key players.
E arly in the second week of p ractice, the arriva l of two sophomores signalled im m ediate im provem ent in both size and num bers. Paul Clark (5-11, 280) and M att Rutkowski (6-0, 200) will be two-way tackles and their presence could m ake im pact. Senior Jeff Healey (6-1,190) is also a possibility a t tackle.
The rest of the veer offense includes Nepton or sophomore P at Fay (5-11, 175) a t QB; junior speedster

BRIAN PLATTEN, a junior offensive lineman, works on his blocking technique during a recent Bluejay practice.
Kevin Griffin (5-9, 150) and seniors Mike Paiano (5-8, 160) and Scott Blume (5-11,180) could share tim e at running back; the flankers a re junior Rodney M aree (5-7, 150) and sophom ore Jeff Roy (5-8,150); senior Steve DeShields (5-10,170) will get the call a t split end; and the tight end looks like junior A1 Kurasz (5-11,170).
O thers on the offensive line are senior Bill Sederm an (5-10,185) and juniors Mike Giordano (5-11,180) and Brian P latten (5-6,155) a t guard, and senior Joe Iacono (5-10, 145) a t center. Nepton will do the kicking and punting.
On defense, the Jay s will probably employ the 4-4, but could run the 50 if they have a problem with the availability of quality linebackers.
Assuming the 4-4, the th ree ends battling for two spots a re Sederm an, Giordano and K urasz, while Clark, Rutkowski and Giordano a re vying for tackle jobs. The linebackers look like Fay, Blume, Nepton and sophom ore Bill Stolz (5-10, 185). Roy and DeShields a re the defensive halfbacks and M aree is the safety.
After their final scrim m age this Satu rday against Som erville, the Jays open the season by hosting Johnson Regional of C lark on F riday, Sept. 2. 3, a t 7 :30 p.m.
Murphy expects his toughest competition to come from M ountain Valley Conference foes Roselle Park , David B rearley of Kenilworth, New Providence and Bound Brook.
“ I think Bound Brook will have a good football te am ,” M urphy offered. “ I think (Bound Brook head coach) Tony (Pascarell) will do a good job. And Manville also has a good team .”
With a lot of question m arks, goalsetting is tough, but M urphy does have his hopes for now and for the future.
“ I just w ant our kids to play the
best possible football they can, and keep im proving, with th e ir given ability ,” he added. “ T hat’s about all you can ask kids.
“ We have a pretty good freshm an
class coming in and a good seventh- g rade class also. But we a re n ’t ever going to get back to the big num bers we had in the past. We ju s t hope to get enough to rem ain respectab le .”

Chiefs invade GMC with high hopesBy DAVE SIMINOFF
PISCATAWAY - The 1988 season will be a new one for head coach Tom Higgins and his P iscataw ay High football team for more that one reason. Not only is this squad basically new a f t e r la s t y e a r ’s se n io r- dominated team , but, a fter years of success in the Mid-State Conference, the Chiefs have entered the G reater Middlesex Conference, where they will compete in the Red Division.
Higgins is the ultim ate optimist and his team ’s initial cam paign in the new conference gives him even more incentive to be successful.
“The switch to the new conference m eans a g rea t deal to us,” Higgins said. “We w ant to establish ourselves as a football power in the G reater M iddlesex C onference. We w ant team s to develop tremendous respect for us. They have to be ready for us and they know it. We w ant to establish the sam e reputation as we had in the Mid-State Conference. All the kids expect to go unbeaten, but you have to be reasonable. We want to m ake the sta tes (C entral Je rsey Group 4 playoffs) and win it, and be
in the top two in our division. We want to go out and represent Piscataw ay in a very positive w ay.”
Not only a re the Chiefs em barking on a trip into uncharted w aters, but they’re doing it with a lot of untested players. Most of last y e a r’s sta rte rs a re gone, including Jack Scholz (QB), K erry F e rre ll (SE ), Chris Rhodes (S), Jeff Cerro (OT), Jon Bizzell (OT), Dan Maglione (LB) and H arrison Scott (RB). All were significant contributors to las t y ea r’s 7-2 squad.
“Basically, we lost our entire s ta rting team ,” Higgins noted. “But all a re returnees a re letter-w inners who got quality playing tim e last year. Good team s with established program s graduate 15 seniors, and if you don’t have 15-20 to replace them, you’re in trouble. We have 17 seniors, 18 juniors and 20 sophomores. But our enrollm ent is also declining. Last year we had 568 seniors and only 390 freshm en.”
Depth, however, is not expected to be a problem for the Chiefs, as it is for m any team s. But injuries always hurt. As of press tim e, the Chiefs had

not suffered any injuries in practice, not even the norm al m uscle pulls. The reason could be the off-season tra in ing p rogram . These ath letes cam e to practice in shape. Higgins has his own training theory and it seem s to be paying off.
“The kids cam e to practice in excellent shape,” Higgins noted. “They lift weights a lot, and if weight tra ining is done right, the p layers get good flexibility and a re not as likely to get m uscle pulls. Bad weight training can hurt. Too m any pro, college and high school team s do too m uch power lifting and not enough reps (repetitions). We do both.
“ And we’re also trying something new this year. The big m en a re getting only one-a-day practices and they come back a t night for weight training. All the other p layers have been doing two-a-days. The practices have been excellent and so a re the a ttitudes.”
The Chiefs, who use an T on offense and a 52 defense, a re not without their share of holes, however. Still needed a re a punter and one m ore defensive tackle.
“ P unter is one of the pieces of the puzzle we’re trying to g e t,” Higgins rem arked. “ We’re try ing (seniors) A .J. Cook (5-7,180) and John Motley (5-10, 175), but they’re only averaging about 25 yards a kick — we want 35-40. And w e’re also looking somewhere for another defensive tackle. If we get both, we’ll be complete and w e’ll be an excellent ball club .”
P iscataw ay’s offense, if not experienced, will be explosive. Leading the way will be Cook, the starting ta ilback. The res t of the backfield will consist of senior quarterback Allen Payne (6-2, 190), of whom Higgins said, “ is m ore disciplined tha t Jack Scholz, who was som etim es too emotional,” while the fullback will be either Carlton Phillips (6-1, 195) or John Albritton (5-11, 185), both seniors. Albritton will also handle the kickoff duties.
The split end will be junior Jay Kearney (6-0,180), the tight end will be senior Jam es H am lett (6-2, 190) and Motley is the flanker and backup QB.
The front wall consists of huge seniors Tim Scholz (6-4,285) and Jerem y R um elhart (6-5, 275) a t the tackles, seniors Tom Lehm an (5-11, 225) and Tom Infante (5-11, 215) a t the guard spots, and junior Juan Key (6-0, 220) a t center. Senior Derek Coppin (5-10, 235) should see action on both offensive and defensive lines.
On defense, the Chiefs will have Scholz a t nose guard, while Rum elhart, Lehm an and Infante will battle for the two tackle spots. Albritton and senior Joe D egrast-Johnson (6-4, 220) will be the defensive ends, which a re used like outside linebackers. Albritton role will be sim ilar to th a t of the G iants’ Lawrence Taylor.
The inside linebackers a re Phillips and junior R ay Polomski (6-1, 195), the com erbacks spots will be m anned by K earney and senior Craig Lowery (5-10,160), while the safeties a re Motley and Weaver. Motley or
Cook will m ost likely take care of the ex tra points and field goals.
“The strength of our club is our balance between pass and run, speed, special team s, and pass and run defense,” Higgins offered. “Our only w eakness is th a t w e’re not overly dom inant in any one a re a .”
As for th is y e a r’s com petition, Higgins had a hard tim e narrowing it down.
“ I expect competition from everybody,” he added. “ Colonia, the first team we play, was supposed to be light, but their J.V . and freshm en team s w ere unbeaten the las t three years. Madison Central, Edison and (J .P .) Stevens will all be tough. And South P lainfield alw ays gives us a pain in the re a r end.”
A fter a final scrim m age this Satu rday a t F ranklin a t 10:30 a.m ., the Chiefs open the ir season a t home, Saturday, Sept. 24, a t 10:30 a.m .

Bruins seeking improvementBy DAVE SIMINOFF
PISCATAWAY - A year ago, the St. Pius X High football team struggled to a 3-6 record with a limited roste r under veteran head coach Bill Whitton. This year, the Bruins hope to post m ore wins than losses under first-year m entor Joe Servedio, who is also the school’s athletic director. And the pre-season turnout was excellent.
Gone from last y ea r’s squad are standouts R ichard Madison (SE, S) and Kevin Lysick (FB, LB). Overall, the Bruins lost 13 of their 26 players to graduation, but got 24 additions this sum m er for a total of 37.
“ I think the school should count its blessings,” said Servedio, who was an assistant coach last year. ‘‘We didn’t expect that many kids. I t’s a good sign.
“ There have been a few pleasant surprises, especially the attitudes and work ethic of the seniors. At first, I thought I ’d have to lower the boom with rules and regulations but the kids have been cooperative. They’re real enthusiastic and are pushing each other. Some of the new kids are still a little lost, but I think attitude is the first ingredient to getting off the ground. If the kids want to win, they have to keep practicing like they did the first week.”
The Bruins appear to be two-deep a t every position, but injuries can strike a t any time. And with the kind of competition the Bruins face in the Blue Division of the G reater Middlesex Conference, they will need a full roster and their s ta rte rs must stay healthy to compete with some of the bigger schools like Highland Park , South River and New Brunswick.
“The kids could’ve been in better shape, but they held up better than expected,” Servedio noted. “And so far, w e’ve had no m ajor injuries. But if anybody gets hurt, we’ll be in some awful shoes because of our schedule. Only four of these kids w ere in the program two years ago. Our first seven gam es a re against Blue Division team s, so beating a traditionally good team will be when St. Pius turns the com er. But it doesn’t m ake sense to look past our first gam e. We don’t even talk about any other game. ”
When the Bruins open the new season, Saturday, Sept. 24 against visiting Spotswood a t 1 p.m ., they will be using what Servedio described as “very multiple offenses. We’ll use a lot of different formations, a lot of (Delaware) wing-T, some one-back set and three or four kinds of different motion. We’ll be very flexible.”
The offense will led by junior Kim D’Angiolillo (6-1, 180), last y ear’s starter.
“Kim has m atured a lot since last yea r,” Servedio comm ented. “He looked so good a t the beginning of practice tha t we added a couple more-invloved pass patterns because we feel he’s ready for it. And I’m tired of hearing about everybody el- se ’s quarterback. We have a good one.”
The rem ainder of the backfield includes senior Cumal Chambers (6-0, 190) and juniors Reggie Carswell (5-9,170), who is the backup QB, and Michael Plaskon (5-9, 170), who will share tim e a t running back. Senior
team captain Jason Knorowski (6-2, 210) and senior Kevin Walsh (6-2, 190) will both s ta rt a t the tight end spots, while senior Wayne Livas (6-2, 160) will be the wide receiver.
The front five consists of seniors Robert Tierney (6-2, 200) and Jack Coffey (6-2, 190) a t the tackles, Jay Glazewski (6-1, 190) and Dave Rosenberg (5-9,180) a t guards, and P a t DiLeo a t center (5-9, 200). Also expected to see action on the offensive line a re senior Mike Cumiskey (6-3, 195) and sophomores Dave Cleary (6-0,190), A lbert McDowell (6-0,210) and I^amont Richardson (6-1,220).
“ Our offensive line is the key thing,” Servedio offered. “We seem ahead of things with our passing gam e because our quarterback and backs a re returning, but our line needs a lot of work. They’re working hard and have good attitudes, but they need a lot of work on technique, so we’ll roll out as well as drop back. They’re picking up their assignm ents well, but a re very inexperienced. Our backs can run and we have some competition there, but I think the passing gam e is our ace-in-the-hole.”
Defensively, in the 52, Cumiskey, G la z e w s k i , T i e r n e y , C o ffe y , McDowell and R ichardson a re all battling for the four end and tackle slots, while DiLeo and Rosenberg are battling for playing tim e a t nose tackle.
Knorowski and Cham bers should be the inside linebackers but a re being pushed by junior B rian Kas (5-9, 160), a tran sfe r from Edison.

The free safety will be either Carswell or sophomore Tom Lee (6-1, 165), a tran sfe r from St. Jo e ’s, while Walsh is exoected to be the strong safety. D’Angiolillo could also see action in the secondary.
“Our biggest draw back is inexperience, not work or desire ,” Servedio rem arked. “ Our strength is the skill positions, but our line’s the key. If we can run the ball, I don’t think we’ll be stopped passing.”
This Saturday, the Bruins complete their pre-season with a scrim
m age against M ater Dei.“ We can’t be satisfied with just
playing,” Servedio added. “ Our goal, generally, is to have a winning season and act like winners all the tim e and represen t the school well. To have a winning season or upset a good team has to be our ta rge t for a good season and for building our program . R ight now, I think it’s m ind over m atter. I had a lot of questions before practice started , but the boost I ’m getting from the senior class is a pleasant surprise. I t m akes m e think they could have a successful season if they w ant to, but it has to be a priority .”

takes the snap from center will be the key to Hillsborough High’s fortunes this fall.
I *ast y ea r’s starting quarterback, Dorn Blandino, has graduated, leaving senior Jason Reynolds and sophomore Duane Van Arsdale battling for the signal-calling assignment. Van Arsdale guided the R aider freshm en to a 9-0 campaign.
“ I think we might be a question- m ark because of our quarterback s i t u a t i o n , ’ ’ c o m m e n t e d Hillsborough’s first-year head coach Otto Gsell. “We need a better-than- average quarterback, a player who’s going to be consistent in getting us to do what we want to do offensively.
“ If we find tha t kind of quarte rback, I think we can be a fine football team ,” added Gsell. “We can rea listically go into each gam e expecting to w in.”
The Raiders, who were 4-5 a year ago u n d e r v e te r a n coach Jo e Paulino, lost some key players to graduation, including All-Somerset County end Pete Tardy. But they also have some solid letterm en back, like A ll-County m idd le g u a rd D rew K raycirak, Kevin Day and halfback Ken Nixon.
Gsell, who was Paulino’s long-time defensive assistan t and the head coach of the unbeaten freshmen last year, also likes the im pressive collection of sophomores he has.
“These sophs a re p layers,” said Gsell, “ I t’s a real good group, and they’re pushing the older kids. ”
Size, however, isn’t something that Hillsborough has in abundance.
“ We’re not too big, and that could hurt us against some of the larger schools,” commented Gsell. “ But we do have some things that other schools might not have. We have real good quickness, especially in the backfield. And we have num bers in thebaekfield .”
Whether Reynolds or Van Arsdale is directing the squad, the Raiders will display a multiple offense, showing some veer, D elaware wing-T and
“ We’ll try to keep it as simple as possible," said Gsell, “but we’re going to have some variety , too. You won’t be able to stereotype u s .”
Nixon, a speedy senior who showed traces of brilliance last year and broke loose for a 71-yard run, figures to be the R aiders’ most dangerous ball-carrier.
“He’s an explosive runner — w e’ll get him the ball a little m ore,” said Gsell.
But Nixon will have no shortage of support in the offensive backfield. Sophs Mike Nebel, Bill Fam ula and Mike Spinelli and seniors Chris Nebel (who also plays flanker) and Mark Crawford all a re viable halfback candidates, while K raycirak and Day will see tim e a t fullback.
“ All the backs are good enough to be a part of our offensive schem e," said Gsell.
Senior twin brothers John and Ron Spence, both of whom are 5-toot-9 and 155 pounds, a re playing ball for the first time and figure to be split ends. They run the 40 in 4.7.
“They’ve been a nice su rp rise ,” said Gsell.
Seniors Keith Goldan (6-0,180) and M att Nee (6-1, 180) a re battling for the tight end slot. There a re a few sophs also in the running for receiver positions.
Proven veterans returning along the interior offensive line a re tackles Jeff Savare (6-0,190) and Bill Ceder- roth (5-11, 185), right guard Rob Spinelli (5-9, 160) and center Dave F rank (6-0,180).
Top left guard candidates a re sophs Jeff Orpin (5-9, 160) and Dave Hackney (5-9, 160). O thers who m ay see tim e a t tackle a re soph Andre Wilson (6-0, 175) and seniors Chris Mineo (6-3, 200) and Rich M atthews (6-1,220).
Defensively, where the R aiders will a lte rnate with odd and even fronts, K raycirak — sm all but tough — anchors the line. Goldan will play one end position and Savare will be at
tackle.D ay (5-10, 185) heads the list of
linebackers, which also includes Rob and Mike Spinelli, Mike Nebel and O rp in . R e tu rn ing a s seco n d ary s ta rte rs a re Nixon and Chris Nebel.
Soph Pete Johnson (5-8, 170) will see action on the offensive line and at linebacker. Senior Pete F urm ick (5- 9,170), who’s accura te from 30 yards out, will handle the place-kicking duties.
Gsell hopes his R aiders can compete for Mid-State Conference honors but thinks F ranklin and Hunterdon C entral loom as the MSC’s best this year.
“ A nd I th in k a t e a m lik e B r id g e w a te r - R a r i t a n W est o r Voorhees could be a su rp rise ,” he added.
The R aiders kick off their season F riday , Sept. 23, a t North Hunterdon (7 p .m .).

Tigers ready to growl under GriffinBy BRIAN FLORCZAK
SOUTH PLAINFIELD - It took South Plainfield first-year coach Jim Griffin just one scrim m age gam e to get his point across to his players.
After seeing his Tigers turn in a sloppy perform ance against New Brunswick, Griffin minced very few words in letting his team know they had better shape up. Less than a week later, South Plainfield pounded Middlesex in its second scrim age, raising T igers’ fans hopes for a successful year.
“ We got h a m m e re d a t New Brunswick, but it woke the kids up,” Griffin said. “ Since then, we’ve shown more enthusiasm and we looked much better in our second scrim m age.
“ I told the kids that we’re a t the fine line between winning and losing. The enthusiasm of the kids has been great. We’re going to be sm all, but we’re going to get after our opponents.”
Heading the T igers’ attack will be senior quarterback LeRoy Williams (5-11, 160). Although Griffin said Williams hasn’t been throwing the ball particularly well in practice, expect the experienced signal caller to enjoy another fine season.
Williams, however, will have to learn a new offensive set this fall. In coming to South Plainfield from Monroe Township where he was defensive coord inator for seven seasons, Griffin has installed the wishbone on offense.
“With the wishbone, im provem ent comes in leaps and bounds,” Griffin said. “ I ’ve seen m ajor im provem ent in our ability to run the wishbone each day and I can tell the comfort zone for our quarterbacks is im proving.
“ We’re going to have to capitalize on our opponent’s m istakes and we’U have to play on the edge for each minute of every gam e. I think tha t if things go well and we get out of the gate quickly, we'll have a shot a t the num bers needed for a playoff spot.
“This is the last rodeo for our seniors. They know what they have to do this season in order to be successful.
When Williams isn’t throwing the . ball for South Plainfield, he’ll be handing-off to a solid group of running backs.

Bolesta (6-1, 185), Keith R ibar (6-1, 190) and Scott Oiler (5-10, 185) give Griffin a large group to choose from when it comes to deciding who will tote the pigskin.
Opening the holes on the offensive line will be Vinnie Esposito (5-11, 205), A1 Alexander (6-1, 230), Brian Helfrich, Jam ie Larsen, P e te r D oerr and Chris Ewing.
Wide receiver positions belong to Chris Young, Kevin Dolan, Sean Brooks and Mike Mongiovi. Senior tight end Rick Tillotson, meanw hile, started for the Tigers last season when the club finished 6-3.
“ In the wishbone I really like to throw to the tight end ,” Griffin said. “ Rick (Tillotson) will play a big role for us and he’s proven to be a very good blocker
“ How quickly these kids m atu re as football players will be a key for us. So far, I ’ve really liked w hat I ’ve seen out there. We have a solid bunch of kids out there .”
South Plainfield has a reputation for usually being stingy on defense, and the Tigers will be hoping to add to tha t tradition this fall.
Lining-up on the defensive front for the T igers will be Tillotson, Sem pervive and Esposito. Also scheduled to see action on the line are Ewing, A lexander and John Apostol.
G r if f in ’s lin e b a c k e rs w ill be Helfrich, I,arson, R ibar, Je rry Vitale and Oiler.
“ The linebackers have come fa r since the first day of practice ,” G riffin said. “ The thing with these kids is th a t they all can run and they all can hit.
“We’re getting to the point as a football team tha t we know i t’s alm ost showtime. We’U have had a month of practice by the tim e we play our first gam e, and by th a t tim e
LEROY WILLIAMS, here barking out signals during a 1987 game, is back guiding the Tigers’ attack
thls year'we should be ready.
“ The team has shown a lot of enthusiasm and excitem ent is ready to go.”
In the defensive backfield, the T igers will use a unit com prised of W illiam s, H a rriso n , D olan and Mongiovi. Rick Bolesta, who Griffin calls one of the best punters he’s ever had, will be counted on to bury opponents deep in the ir own territory .
Handling the place kicking chores will be Ken Clark.

Along with a strong sense of trad ition and charac te r, Highland P ark has a certain m ystique. Somehow, the Owls get the job done. P erenn ially a la te s ta r te r with practices, physicals and uniform distribution, they are goal-oriented and jell together rem arkably well, and tend to rally around the direction of Policastro.
“ This is a very unique school, in tha t academ ics come first with the students. They take pride in their studies. The adm inistration and the players, alike, seem to understand and accept it. The support for the ath letes is there , sure, but not like a t other schools.”
Highland P ark has long been a
football powerhouse in the G reater M iddlesex County Conference, where they have had only four losing seasons since 1944. Keyport, lately though, has been the Owls’ nem esis in th e C entral Je rs e y G roup I playoffs, defeating the Owls in 1985 and 1987. Two years ago, H ighland P a rk won sectional honors.
“ M aybe this y e a r ,,” Policastro sta ted , “ the revenge factor will give us another title over Keyport. ’ ’
In review of the schedule, the coach kept an upbeat and positive a ttitude. Without p a rticu la r concern or anticipation he casually m entioned the strengths of upcoming foes, such as St P e te r’s, alw ays a fast and well-coached team , New Brunswick and South R iver.
Through it all, though, he strssed , “ I tell m y kids th a t the next gam e is the m ost im portant. We don’t like to get caught up w ith a certa in te am or a grudge-m atch situation. Nobody is singled out. E ach and every team p re s e n ts a new an d d if f e r e n t challenge.”

Seasoned linemen may boost ’VilleByDAVEALLENA
SOMERVILLE — L arry Dubiel has alw ays felt th a t the offensive line holds the key to success on the foot-
j ball field. With an experienced front ; six, D ubiel’s P ioneers m ay ju s t be on
course for another banner cam paign.F our s ta rte rs a s well as two other
; le tterm en re tu rn from las t fa ll’s of
fensive line for Somerville High as the Pioneers will be out to im prove upon a 6-3 m ark and re tu rn to the sectional playoffs.
Seniors Greg F arley and M att M orrill, both G azette All-Somerset County perform ers a year ago, lead the Somerville veterans, and Dubiel feels the unit will once again have to
be a big contributor.“We res t the en tire success of the
program on the cohesiveness of the offensive line,” he said. “ It doesn’t m a tte r who is running the ball or who is taking the snaps because if we can ’t block up front, we’re spinning our wheels.

Ennis hoping that patience pays offBy STEVE SMITH
M ET U C H EN - Patience.It’s an a ttribu te th a t’s im portant in
a football coach. Especially when a team is in the process of building a cohesive unit.
Patience- it will be a very im portan t word in the Metuchen High School football dictionary this Fall.
“ We have a lot of underclassm en, so we’ll have to be patient and hope for progress each w eek ,” sta ted Bulldog head coach Ned E nn is, whose contingent is coming off a 4-5 cam paign last year. “ I think m atu rity will be im portant as we go along.”
Although Ennis will certainly m iss the services of graduated standouts like Anthony Einhom , Billy Bandola, John Febus, and Jon Coleman, the Bulldogs re tu rn a quality perform er in senior quarterback Bob Kuhne (5-9, 160), who did a strong job in running E nnis’ option offense last season. Kuhne was second on the d u b in scoring last year (four touch
downs) and he also tossed two scoring aerials as well.
How im portant is Kuhne to the success of the Metuchen unit?
“H e’s probabely the hub,” praised Ennis. “We look to him as being the leader. He’s gotten stronger, he’s throwing b e tte r, and h e ’s gotten m ore m atu re . He’s a good athlete and probabely the fastest kid on the team .”
HOW WELL the Bulldogs’ offensive line perform s m ay prove to be the key factor in w hether E nnis’ squad enjoys success or m ediocrity. Three of the five linemen will be new varsity s ta rte rs and th e ir progress during the cam paign will be of utmost im portance.
Senior guard Pete Knoll (5-10,175) and senior tackle Rey Lopez (5-10, 260) a re the veterans of the quintet, while senior tackle Dennis O’Leary (6-2,175), junior guard J im Prim ich (5-9, 160), and junior center Tom Beardsley (5-10, 200) anchor the rest
of M etuchen’s front five.“ The new kids a re coming along,”
observed Ennis.Senior Steve B um s (5-10,200), who
caught a 12-yard touchdown pass in ’87, will open a t tight end.
“H e’s a good blocker,” said Ennis of B um s. “H e’s a strong kid with experience.”
Senior Andy Wynne (5-8,160) adds depth a t the center and guard slots, while junior tackle D anny R alph (5-11,170) and junior tigh t end Dave Baldwin (6-2, 175) should see some playing time.
The offensive backfield is paced by junior Chad Davis (5-9,150), who will be the left sp lit back, and sophomore Jason Prehodka (5-8, 180), the right split back. Prehodka, who booted six ex tra points last F all, re tu rn s as the team ’s placekicker.
“ His leg has gotten s tronger,” said Ennis of Prehodka.
Juniors Sean Wielage (6-1, 170), Shon Yang (5-6,150) and Joe Dawes

point in the veer’s success."W e’re pleased with the offensive
line,” added Reiter.Seniors Steve Slaven (5-10,175) and
Chris Nikolas (5-8, 180) and junior Shawn Henderson (5-11, 190) add quality depth as guards off the bench.
Juniors Marlow Fitzgerald (5-11, 185) and Robert Witherspoon (5-9, 185) a re in a dead heat for the s ta rting tight end spot, while senior F rank Manghisi (5-11, 165) should get the nod as the opening gam e split end. Senior M ark Santiago (5-11,180), who will triple as the team ’s punter and placekicker, appears to have won the starting flanker position.
The backfield still leaves some questions to be answ ered, with seniors Tom Wall (5-10, 180) and Rick M adam a (5-8, 160) leading the way. Junior Dave Cannon (5-8, 155), who was hurt m ost of las t year, and sophomore Todd Smith (6-0, 160) are also vying for playing tim e as running backs.
Edison is hoping to im prove on its 17.2 defensive scoring average of a
year ago, and will use a 5-2 m onster alignm ent. Henderson should s ta r t at nose tackle, with P atan ia backing him up. W hitehouse and Steve Slaven a re solid defensive ends, while sophomore Mike Christoph (6-0, 170) will serve in a backup role to s ta rt the cam paign. Shirley and Mikulak appear to be the starting tackles, but junior Kevin Ellison (6-0, 205) should see som e action there as well.
“ I think he’s the strongest kid on the team ,” said R eiter of Ellison. “H e’s very solid, very fa s t.”
M intchw arner opens a t one linebacker spot and will call the team ’s defensive signals, while Fitzgerald is expected to m an the o ther linebacking post. Wall serves a s a capable backup.
R eiter is hoping tha t his defensive secondary will show signs of im provem ent from las t year. Junior Craijg McDowell (5-9, 160) has been looking good as a m onsterback, while Manghisi and Santiago could commence the season as com erbacks. Deland or M aragoto could s ta rt a t a safety position, but M adam a and
Wall give R eiter depth and flexabi- lity a t several slots in the defensive backfield.
The Edison m entor knew it was im portant to establish a certa in mind se t during the pre-season.
“We’re going to try and establish m ore of a team indentity than an individual identity ,” noted Reiter. “ I ’ve enjoyed these kids trem endously. We haven’t had any problem s. Collectively they’re a very good group. We talk about self-sacrifice and the kids seem to respond. We m ake no prom ises, but we’re disciplined and w e’ll give J00 percent every single tim eo u t.”
T hat’s the only way to survive in the Red Division.
“ I ’d like to be .500,” R eiter said. “But tha t depends on so m any things- injuries, how kids respond psychologically to winning, losing, different things. You can ’t predict those kinds of things. But we’ll do the best we can .”
T hat’s a ll any coach can ask from his players.
And himself.
(5-11, 160) give E nnis added flexabi- lity in the backfield.
Senior Lance Cam pbell (6-1, 160) opens as a split end, while senior Will R anee (5-5, 130) and junior Craig Nann (5-7, 150) a re battling for the flanker post. Dawes, Yang, Wielage, and juniors Billy Kuhne (5-8,140) and John M indler (5-10,145) could all be called on a t each position, if needed.
M etuchen’s 5-2 defensive alignm ent is paced by senior nose tackle E ric Nielsen (5-10, 260), a “ strong kid” , according to Ennis. The tackle posts appear to have been won by B eardsley and Burns, while O’Leary and Wynne should open the season as defensive ends. Baldwin, Wielage, and sophomore Derek Redding (6-3, 175) a re capable backups.
Heading the linebacking corps will be Knoll, who calls the squad’s defensive signals, and Prehodka, as s ta rte rs , w ith P rim ich and sophom ore A1 Houck (5-9, 150) serving as quality depth off the bench. Houck should also see action on special team s.
Several defensive secondary posts w ere still open a t press tim e, but the leading candida tes w ere M indler, Campbell, Davis, Bob Kuhne, and junior P ete K am inskas (5-9,160). O’L eary will handle the punting chores.
M etuchen m ust im prove its defensive prowess in o rder to stay alive in the Blue Division race of the G reater Middlesex Conference. L ast season,
the Bulldogs allowed a whopping average of 22.3 points per contest.
Right now, Ennis has only one thought in mind- St. P e te r ’s, his opening day opponent on Saturday, Sept 24 a t 1 p.m. a t E dgar Field.
“Our only goal right now is to get ready for St. P e te r’s ,” he stated. “ We never set any goals. We don’t get too d istracted . We ju s t take every gam e one a t a tim e and we don’t look beyond th a t.”
Ennis knows th a t the battle for the Blue Division title will be, pardon the pun, a rea l dogfight.
It alw ays is.
“The Blue Division h as fine coaches, whom I all resp ec t,” he said. “ I t ’s a very com petitive division. These kids have been working hard for some tim e now with no im m ediate rew ard in sight, and I feel tha t takes a certa in type of individual to m ake sacrifices and work hard while other kids a re on vacation. It takes a special kind of person. I find it very rew ard in g to w ork w ith k ids in genera l.”
A good effort against St. P e te r’s would go a long w ay in building Metuchen’s confidence for the re s t of the gridiron cam paign.
“ Hopefully w e’ll get off on the right foot,” said Ennis. “Hopefully we’ll be com petitive w ith everyone we play .”

the outside and m ix it up w ith the run. We have som e ta lented kids from w hat I ’ve seen, but we do have an inexperienced line.
“ At a Group I school, you have to be able to be flexible. You have to be able to adjust to the ta len t you have each year. R ight now, the strength of
the offense is in our comprehension. The kids a re picking things up a t a p re tty good pace ,” Somma added.
The M ustangs re tu rn four s ta rte rs on defense as Norz and K assick a re back a t end but in a different setup, while Figel should be one of the tackles again with either Adamcio or A dam s on the other side.
G antner, Palfy and Sam ec a re also vying for the starting honors a t guard along with junior E ric M angual (5-10, 167). Latsko and Pietrzyk should open a t linebacker, while the sec
o n d a r y w il l m o s t l i k e l y be B rocklehurst, a s ta r te r last season, Fregeolle and Pschar.
As with the offense, the new M ustang coach is sim ply try ing to get the team to do things the righ t way on defense.
“ We’re working on tackling. We working on getting the proper angle of pursuit, instead of grabbing ,” S om m a ex p la ined . “ D efense is engage, disengage and tackle. I ’m a fundam endalist in m y approach. If you learn how to block and how to
tackle, th a t’s a very im portant p a rt of the g am e.”
As for what he would like to accomplish in his first season a t Manville, Somm a refuses to look too far ahead, and is not ready to prom ise a winning season in his initial try.
“Our first gam e is against Pingry and our goal is to win tha t first gam e. A fter that, w e’ll think about Im- m aeulata . Anything else is really too fa r aw ay ,” he said. “ Coaching high school football for 17 years , I ’ve learned tha t if you keep your goals
sim ple and achieveable, you usually achieve them.
“W hat I would like to do this year is th a t the kids a t the end of the season enjoyed them selves. If you do that, you’re usually successful. T hat’s always been my appraoch for my football team s.”
Som m a’s past history as a coach shows th a t he has been a winner w herever he has gone, turning losing program s into successful ones. That is his long-term goal for Manville, but he adm its it will not be easy.

Line should give Falcons a lift
(Continued from page 21)thony D’A ltruri (6-2, 215), who started three gam es last season, or Shawn Malevenda (6-1, 240), while senior letterm en John Ball (5-7,170) is battling Juniors Lou DeCicco (6-1, 175) and John P isaro (5-11, 180) for the other guard spot.
Handling the quarterback chores in the P ioneers’ multiple-I offense will be either senior le tterm an Chris Kidd (6-0, 185) or junior Troy G ray (6-0, 175), while the tailback post is up for grabs between senior letterm en Mike Wooley (5-9, 190) and Scott Walker (5-8, 165) and junior Jam es Fox (5-9,175).
Bill Klika, a 6-1, 205-pound senior letterm an, will s ta rt a t fullback with seniors Mike Innella (5-9, 160) and Jeff P schar (5-8, 155) backing him up.
At split end seniors J.R . Bergan (6-1, 175), F red Muraview (6-0, 150) and Jim Manning (5-5,150) a re vying for the starting job along with Walker, while the flanker slot is between Bergan, Muraview, Manning, junior Ron Pozgay (5-8, 144), and possibly the loser of the battle a t quarterback.
Defensively, Somerville will once again feature a 5-2 setup, and as was the case on offense, Dubiel figures an experienced front line on defense is the unit’s strong point. The defense, however, needs some work a t this point according to the coach.”
“Our line should be the strength of the defense. Three of the five kids there a re back as s ta rte rs from last year and the other two show prom ising signs. Having experience on the front line of defense is nice to have,” he said.
“ I ’m not really happy with our tackling right now. As the im portant thing on offense is the line, the big thing on defense is tackling and we have som e work to do there. We have one of our most aggressive team s, but now we have to see that they do the job once they get to the ball. ”
(Continued from page 29) Jannone, a part-tim e s ta r te r last season, and H orner a re vying for the other halfback job, while Mayen will be the fullback with McClelland and jun ior Kevin F e rra ro (6-1, 185) pushing for playing tim e.
Uggiano, who started a t tight end a fter playing fullback m ost of the season a t the end of last year, and Meekings will share the tight end duties, while Ellsworth, E aton and senior Todd B lasiak (5-11, 160) are the candidates for the starting nod a t split end.
E ast has three s ta rte rs back on the line, with Keller, a second-team allcounty choice, and senior D arrin Levin (6-0, 190) returning a t the tackle spots and Murawski will be a t a guard spot again. Clark will open at the other guard position.
Senior G ary Zielinski (5-10, 200) and P erro tti a re battling for the s ta rting nod a t center, while Aiello and senior F rank Galazzo (5-10,160) are
M orrill and T ravis Allie, a 6-1, 190-pound junior, will open a t the end spots with P ryor going a t one tackle and either M alevenda or D’A ltruri on the other side. Ball and O ates a re vying for the s ta rt nod a t noseguard.
F arley will be a t one linebacker post, while Klika, Ball and P isaro a re th er candidates on the opposite side. Kidd figures to be the free safety, while W alker will m ost likely be a t strong safety with P schar backing him up. Manning, Wooley, G ray, and Fox, a re in the chase for the starting assignm ents a t com erback.
E ither Klika or sophomore Jeff M u n z e n m a ie r w ill h a n d le th e placekicking duties, while Wooley, Kidd and M unzenm aier a re vying for the punting chores.
A fter winning back-to-back sectional crowns under Dubiel, Som erville m issed the playoffs a y ear ago when it captured the Mid-State Conference’s R aritan Division cham pionship. The P ioneer coach, who is pleased with his team ’s pre-season progress, is hoping for a re tu rn to the playoffs.
“ We alw ays set the playoffs as a goal. We don’t feel like we’re out of line doing that. I t ’s early and there a re a lot of things th a t have to happen. We are going to go out and be the best we can be. If we do th a t and things don’t work out, a t least w e’U be happy with ourselves,” he said.
“ I don’t think there is any m agic word th a t will m ake us successful. I think the m ost im portant thing in te rm s of keys is working to the best of the ir ability. W hether we’re going to be good enough to m ake the playoffs, w e’ll let tha t unfold in the course of tim e.
“W hat I like m ost about our team a t th is point is tha t we know our assignm ents, from seniors to sophom ores, and th a t was the purpose of the first week of cam p. There is a lot of focus on team and the seniors a re very cohesive. They a re alw ays together,” Dubiel added.
r e s e rv e lin e m e n . F e r r a r o an d P arh am are vying for the placekicking duties and junior Bill Meekings (6-0,175) will be the punter.
As for the squad’s objectives this fall, Savage feels the top priority is erasing the m em ory of last y e a r’s losing m ark.

“ Plus, our backfield is young and sm all, and if someone gets hurt, w e’ll really have to shuffle things around.
T h at’s not easy to do when you’ve been practicing the sam e w ay for a few w eeks.”
The Falcons, who host Im m aculata in a scrim m age Saturday, will begin to find out ju s t how strong they a re when they open the season Sept. 24, against Voorhees a t 1:30 p.m . a t Basilone M em orial Field.

Eagle gridders looking to bounce backBy STEVE SMITH
EDISON— I t’s never easy to lose quality football players to g raduation- especially of the caliber of Mike Boslet, Mike Bussiere, and Ken Sca- picchio.
But f , ra t’s the d ilem m a facing E d iso r H igh School coach G ary R e ite r th is season . T hose th ree players accounted for well over half of the E ag les’ touchdowns las t year, when Edison cam e home with a 3-5-1 slate.
Although this season’s E agle contingent is inexperienced in certain
areas , R eiter knows th a t it takes m ore than ju s t individual ta len t.to win football gam es.
“ I often see in high school football w ere m is tak es cost g a m e s ,” he stated . “Some team s a re basically self-destructing. This m ight be the sm artes t team I ’ve had since I ’ve been here. I ’ve told the kids th a t w e’ve got to play sm art football. T hat’s a big thing. We’ve never been a team that turns the ball over a lo t.”
Minimizing m iscues will be im portan t for Edison th is season in the v ery tough R ed D ivision of the
G re a te r M id d lesex C o n feren ce , which is loaded with thoroughbreds like defending Central Jersey , Group IV champion Madison Central, E ast Brunswick, P iscataw ay, and J .P . Stevens.
“ I ’m willing to say th a t week in and week out, we have the best conference in the s ta te ,” R eiter said. “There is also real quality coaching in th is conference. I have trem endous respect for my peers .”
ALTHOUGH IT won’t be easy to replace Boslet, who passed for 1,455 yards and nine touchdowns last Fall,
R eiter has a pair of talented signal- ca llers in senior Andy M aragoto (5-11, 180) and junior J im Deland (5-11,165), who were battling for the starting job a t press time.
R eiter likes certain qualities in both candidates.
“ Andy is m ore of a drop-back quarterback but he also has the ability to run the option,” explained Reiter, who’ll use a veer offense this season. “ I ’ve been pleased with the way he’s been running the option.
“ J im is an excellent runner, with real guick feet. He m ight be a little
quicker. I’d ra te it a tossup right now.”
The offensive line, which Reiter considers “ the strength of our club,", is anchored by senior tackle Joe Shirley (6-3,280), a Division I-Aprospect. Shirley team s with senior tackle Bob Mikulak (6-2, 220); senior center Pete Whitehouse (5-11, 185); and guards Mike M intchw arner (5-10, 200), a senior, and junior John Pan- tania (5-10,185), whom R eiter called, “one of the strongest kids on the team .” Their play will be the focal

Plainfield annually plays a challenging schedule. This season Gage said he expects Kenilworth, Roselle P ark and New Providence to tu rn out strong team s.
The first year m entor, however, said he is looking forward to the challenge.
“The kids have been enthusiastic since the first day of p ractice ,” Gage said. “ You could tell right aw ay tha t they w ant to go out there and give it the best they can .”
The longtime baseball coach a t North Plainfield, Gage has had years of gridiron coaching experience. F rom 1983-85 he was an assistan t at Bishop Ahr, coming to the Trojan- S ain ts from C hatham Township where he was head coach for six seasons.
In addition, Gage was the defensive coordinator a t Cedar Ridge, and an assistan t at a num ber erf schools in New York state. As a student a t Penn S tate, he served as a graduate assistan t coach in 1961.
“ I'm looking forward to working with these kids, and we’re excited about the season ahead,” Gage said. "W e’re going to continue working at being the best football team that we possibly can .”
lent potential,” p raised Simonelli. “Both have excellent range but they have to work on their accu racy .”
Once again, J .P . Stevens will use a 5-2 defensive alignm ent and Simonelli was still try ing to decide who his s ta rte rs will be from a ta len ted corps of players. H arkness, Catena, and McKenzie a re vying for the starting nose tackle slot, while M ittlem an, Divock, Yu, Hayes, or Catena m ay begin the season as defensive tackles. C rilly , Sm oley, D udek, and McCrea a re the leading candidates for the two defensive end positions.
Kole will call the defensive signals as a linebacker, while B arnes, Costa, junior Charles Wright (6-0, 175) and sophomore David G rashorn (5-11, 170) a re vying for the other linebacker post.
McCann m ay get the nod as the m o n s te rb a c k in th e se c o n d a ry , though Healy and Mills have a shot there too. Meyerhoff, Thom as, Newsom and Lovett a re battling for a starting defensive back slot as well.
As the Hawks p repare for their
season opener th is F riday , Sept. 16 a t home against Shawnee, Simonelli seem ed genuinely elated with his squad’s work ethic during the preseason.
“ I ’m extrem ely pleased with these y o u n g s t e r s ,” S im o n e ll i n o te d . “They’ve worked very hard and have given 100 percen t on the field. I ’ve been here 25 years and I ’ve never seen a team with a b e tte r attitude. I t ’s been a cred it to them .”
Any specific goals coach?“ We just w ant to p lay our best

The injury factor plays a big part. We just feel tha t if our team plays the ir best, then w e’re successful. Hopefully w e’ll p repare them physically and psychologically to p lay well every gam e and then we just ask th a t they do their best.”

and tenacity . H e’s been getting lots of m ail from schools — but the key is getting th a t m ail a t the end of the season ,too .”
J .P . Stevens of Edison has a couple of possible I-AA prospects in JASON M ITTLEM AN and CHUCK Mc- CANN.
A powerful two-way tackle, the 6-3, 212-pound M ittlem an is a few pounds short of being I-A m ateria l. “ It depends on how m uch he grows, but he pro jects good size potential and skill,” com m ented Stevens coach Tony Simonelli.
McCann is a 5-10, 170-pound slot- back with excellent speed and du rability and is just as effective carry ing the ball a s he is catching it.
“ H e’s versatile , and he’s a heady ballplayer, too,” said Simonelli.
LEROY WILLIAMS and RODNEY HARRISON of South Plainfield a re two m ore Division I-AA candidates. N e ith e r is p a r t ic u la r ly b ig — W illiams is 5-11 and 165 and H arrison 5-9, 170 — but both are top-notch a th letes who can be utilized in a variety of ways.
W illiams quarterbacks the T igers’ wishbone a ttack but could easily adap t to wide receiver. H arrison, like W illiams, is very quick and has g rea t
hands. H e’s a two-way halfback who also re tu rn s punts and kicks. He could eventually be a wide receiver on the collegiate level.
P iscataw ay, long noted for its size, continues the trad ition with a p a ir of huge linem en who could em erge as Division I-A or I-AA prospects — 6-5, 275-pound JE R EM Y RUMELHART and 64 , 285-pound TIM SCHOLZ. Both a re tackles but Scholz is also a m iddle guard for the Chiefs.
“ Jerem y is enorm ous, has good m obility and he really wants to p lay football,” said P iscataw ay coach Tom Higgins. “ I like his a ttitude — he really likes to play.
“ Sam e thing with Scholz, and the Division I schools a re excited about his m ovem ent. But he needs to lose som e weight.”
Another P isca taw ay p layer who could a ttra c t attention is ta ilback A .J . COO K, a 5-7, 180-pound speedster.
“H e’s just a little short, whichcould hu rt h im ,” pointed out Higgins, “ but he has a trem endous view of the field and he can cut back and take as m uch punishm ent be tte r than any kid I ’ve ever coached.”

Canucks trying to improve on 1-8 markBy BRIAN FLORCZAK
NORTH PLAINFIELD - If you figured in terest in the North Plain- field High football program w as lax a fte r las t season’s 1-8 m ark , you would be dead wrong.
Almost 50 p layers recently turned out for the C anucks’ first p ractice of the year, giving first-year coach B rian Gage a solid foundation to work with. Consequently, optim ism runs high in the woodsmen’s cam p.
“ If all went well for us, I ’d be able to say a t the end of the year th a t we played every one of our gam es to the best of our ability ,” Gage said. “ If I w as to take it one step further, I ’d like to be going for everything come N ovem ber.”
Unlike past seasons when North Plainfield ran the veer on offense,
Gage is installing the multiple-I. Defensively, expect the Canucks to use an odd m an front.
The key to the C anucks’ fortunes, how ever, could lie in the p lay of s o p h o m o re q u a r t e r b a c k J o e y Newsome. Having im pressed Gage and his coaches during pre-season p ractice , Newsome appears to have won the starting job a t quarterback going into North Plainfield’s Sept. 23 opener against Dayton Regional.
“ H e’s looked really good,” Gage said, referring to Newsome. “ H e’s very poised for a sophomore and has held his own so far. We’re happy knowing he’s going to be here for th ree seasons.
“ If we had our way, we would like to run the ball down people’s th roats. As it is, we’ll have to have a balanced
attack . On defense, w e’re not huge so w e’ll have to move a lot. Blitzing will be one of the ways we do this. ”
Handling the ball carry ing duties for North Plainfield this fall will be a host of letterm en. Keith W ighard (5- 11, 180), Wayne M alcolm (5-7, 155) and Sal M astrobattista (5-6,150) will ca rry the bulk of the ball-toting duties for G age’s squad.
Should North Plainfield decide to throw the ball, Gage will look for senior K ris Kohler (5-11, 180), and John Santonastaisto (5-9, 165) to do m ost of the catching.
Opening holes on the offensive line will be Eddie O’Melia (6-1, 180), M ark T hom as (6-2, 200), M ark Schenk (5-11,160), Chris Adam s (6-2, 210) and Danny McKenna (5-9,175).
“ We’re going to have to see if we
can develop dep th ,” Gage said. “ Inju ries could hurt us, and th a t’s where the young kids will have to come through. The kids have been working hard and they have picked things up faster than I thought they would.
“ Plus, the k ids’ attitudes have been super. I ’ve been try ing to get our people to think of the things we have to do in order to win. The coaches they’ve had here in the past have kept the enthusiasm up without having the records they would have liked.”
On defense, North Plainfield will field a defensive line tha t includes Schenk, W ighard, Kohler, O’Melia, Adam s and McKenna. F iring in from the linebackers spots will be Thomas and M astrobattista. O’Melia will also see tim e a t linebacker, according to
Gage.In the defensive backfield, North
Plainfield will look to Santonastaisto and Mike D emattio to anchor a young unit.
“ When you put in a new offense and defense like we have, one of the things you have to work on is consistency,” said Gage, who succeeded Ted Amo. “The kids still have things to learn.
“ I ’ve been in this (rebuilding) situation twice before and a t the end of the third year in both instances we had our record up to .500. Rught now it’s a question of getting the new system in here and having the players learn it .”
As a m em ber of the competitive Mountain Valley Conference, North

A graduate of St. I^w rence University in New York, Gage broke into coaching as an assistan t a t Potsdam High School (NY) in 1957. After serving as a graduate assistan t a t Penn State during the 1961 season, Gage becam e offensive coordinator at Glenn Falls (NY) High where winning seasons becam e the norm.

Trojan grid squad in transition periodBy STEVE SMITH
EDISON— The Bishop Ahr High School football team is a squad in transition.
After capturing three consecutive Parochial A South titles from 1984-86, a series of injuries and a struggling offensive attack resulted in a 3-6 record last Fall for the Trojans, their first losing season under head coach Tony Aschettino, now starting his sixth year.
Despite the loss to graduation of standouts M!ke Bum s, Ben Rodriguez, and Joe Chessere, Aschettino is hoping tha t his young contingent can develop steadily during the season in the always-competitive White Division of the G reater Middlesex Conference.
“ I think the key for us th is year will be how fast our youngsters develop,” said Aschettino. “ We don’t have a whole lot of returnees and a lot of these kids haven’t played varsity football. The big question m ark is how quickly they com e around. They’ve already m ade some progress in the pre-season.”
Aschettino m ust hope tha t his offensive a ttack , which averaged just eight points per contest last season, can provide m ore of a consistent th rea t to opposing team s. The Trojans, who run out of a Multiple-I set, currently have three candidates vy
ing for the starting quarterback position.
Junior M att Golden (6-1, 175) who saw limited action in ’87, and sophom ore Mike McMullen (5-7,155) were the top two contenders for the job at press time.
“ M att has a very good arm , he can run pretty well with the football and he’s a p re tty intelligent kid,” praised Aschettino. “ Mike is rea l quick, he can run rea l well with the ball, and his a rm has gotten more accu ra te .”
Sophomore Kirk G abriel (5-11,150) is new to the signal-calling position, but Aschettino describes him as “ a good a th lete” , so he’ll begin the year in a backup role.
T H E STA R TIN G b a c k fie ld is paced by senior halfback Keith Vel- tre (5-7, 165) who gained over 1,500 all-purpose yards and scored three touchdowns last season. H e’ll be the m ain cog in the T ro jans’ ground game.
“He’s a strong, durable kid,” said Aschettino of Veltre. “ H e’s just a good football p layer.”
Junior Dan Ioffredo (5-5, 185) will probabely open up a t fullback, while junior Roy H enry (5-8, 160) and sophomore M ark DeBellis (5-10, 175) a re talented runners who should see som e playing tim e.
Senior B rian F reem an (5-11, 160), who was sidelined a fte r the fourth
gam e last season due to an injury, returns as a split end.
Senior Pau l Fessock (5-9, 155) and jun io r Chuck W idder (5-10, 165) should see tim e as flankers and m ay ro ta te with F reem an as split ends as well. Senior Brian Withka (5-8, 145), w ho b o o te d n in e p o i n t - a f t e r touchdowns la s t Fall, re tu rns as the T ro jans’ placekicker.
Heading the offensive line will be senior center A .J. Bonick (5-10, 200) and junior left guard Archie Leonar- dis (5-9,185).
“A.J. has done a real good job for us,” Aschettino stated. “And Archie is a hard-nosed football player. He’s looked good too.”
Juniors J im Lepping (5-10,160) and Tyler R ichards (5-10, 185) a re battling for the starting righ t guard slot, while senior Jason Annunziata (6-3, 225) and junior B rian McLaughlin (5-10,225) should open a t the left and right tackle positions, respectively. Senior Nick D’Orazio (6-0, 205) and sophomore Jeff M yers (6-2, 220) m ay see some playing tim e as e ither offensive or defensive tackles.
Sophomore Mike Blue (5-10, 175) will back up Bonick a t center, while senior B art Howley (5-9, 175) should get the nod as the starting tight end. Junior Scott Czamota (6-2,180) hopes to see action as a tight end-defensive end on occasion.
Leading Bishop A hr’s 5-2 defensive front will be junior nose tack le D arren Norfleet (5-10, 180), whom Aschettino raved about.
“H e’s rea l quick, and has rea l good m o v e m e n t,” th e T ro jan m en to r praised. “ In our defense you need someone quick a t tha t position and he is. H e’s a rea l good player. ”
Lepping and Jack P ace (6-0, 175) look like possible s ta r te rs a t defensive end, while Aschettino is hoping th a t two sta rting defensive tackles can em erge from a solid list of candid a te s - M cL au g h lin , M y ers , R ichards, D’Orazio, and Annunziata.
Bonick re tu rns as a starting linebacker and replaces B um s as the defensive signal-caller, while Leonar- dis appears to have won the other linebacking slot.
The defensive secondary is comprised of quality depth. F reem an should open a s one com erback, while juniors Mike DeBellis (5-10,165) and G ary Cassio (6-0,170) a re battling for the other spot. W idder and junior Bill Groves (5-9, 165) a re com peting a t the strong safety slot, while Henry and sophom ores M ark DeBellis and Chris Simon (5-9, 155) a re vying for tim e a t free safety.
“We feel w e’re p re tty solid back th e re ,” said Aschettino of his defensive secondary. “ We feel th a t’s our
deepest position.”Golden will open as the punter,
with McMullen backing him up.A sehettino’s goals for this y ea r’s
T rojan contingent a re the sam e as they a re every year.
1 ‘We have the sam e goals- we’d like to win every g am e ,” he sta ted . “ We’ll just take it one gam e a t a tim e. We’re ju s t looking to Monroe (their season opener on F riday , Sept. 16) right now. We’re looking forward to playing them .”
Aschettino realizes th a t it m ay take som e tim e for his team to develop, and in the White Division, th a t m eans every gam e will be a tough one.
“Our division is well-balanced,” he said. “Cedar Ridge is in it th is y ear and they’re alw ays tough. You have South Plainfield, (John F .) Kennedy, Colonia, Monroe, and N orth Brunswick, who I think could be the favorite th is y ea r. You don’t have a b rea ther. I think from top to bottom w e’re probabely in the m ost competitive division in the conference.”
But Aschettino rem ains upbeat.“The k ids’ attitude has been good,”
he noted. “ The young kids a re energetic and they w ant to play. They’ve had success on the junior varsity and freshm an levels, so they have a winning attitude, which is im portant. I ju s t hope it ca rrie s over.”

B-R East counting on proven juniorsByDAVEALLENA
BRIDGEW ATER — Having gained valuable experience a year ago when the M inutem en finished with a very deceiving 2-6-1 record , a handful of j u n i o r s a r e p r i m e d to h e lp B ridgew ater-R aritan E ast re tu rn to winning ways this fall.
H ead coach Bill Savage has 16 let- te rm en returning, including eight juniors, and he is hoping to blend the ta len ts available for a successful season th is year, ra th e r than build for 1989 as the tem ptation m ight be with 12 juniors in a ll expected to contribute.
“The key for will be for the juniors to ra lly around the seniors and not w ait until next y e a r ,” he said. “The juniors we have really w ant to play and w e’re hoping they all come together. We’re going to try to m ake
it happen th is year. That next year stuff is garbage.
“ I have to adm it I am a little concerned about going with so m any young kids, but we don’t have any choice. T hat’s the way the classes fell. Our junior class just happens to be the strong c lass .”
Jun iors will dom inate the defensive lineup this season. E ast will once again use a 5-2 setup and the five linem en all s ta rted a t least the final two gam es. Junior John McClelland, a 5-9, 150-pound m iddle guard who was nam ed to the G azette’s All- County squad’s second team , heads the veteran line.
Also back up front a re 6-0, 185- pound senior P au l M urawski and 5- 10, 185-pound junior Mario P erro tti, who moved into starting roles a t tackle m idway through las t season,
while the ends will be juniors Andy Aiello (5-10, 180) and Tom H orner (5-11, 175). Senior M ark Keller (6-5, 250) and Joe Clark (6-0, 185) will be backups a t the tackle slots.
Jun io r le tterm an Eddie Mayen (5-10, 180) will be a t one linebacker slot, while returning s ta rte r Joe Ug- giano a 6-0, 190-pound senior and c lassm ate Rob Jannone (5-11, 180) a re battling for the job on the other side.
Senior Dave Meekings (6-0, 175) and junior Ken P a rh am (6-0,188) will share one of the safety spots in the secondary, while junior Dennis Foley (5-10,160) will s ta r t on the other side with junior le tterm an B rian Evans (5-10,170) in reserve.
At com erback, two letter-w inners, senior Mike E llsw orth (6-0, 170) and junior Tom Eaton (5-11,165) a re the
projected s ta rte rs , while the backups will be a p a ir of juniors, Paul Spinelli (5-10, 150) and B rian Hollingsworth (5-10,160).
L ast season, the Minutemen were vulnerable to the big play a t the wrong tim e. Savage feels the club needs definite im provem ent in tha t a rea this year to be successful.
“ One of the keys to our season, and the thing we’re emphasizing the m ost, is th a t we have to im prove our defense. Last year, we did not play the defense E ast team s are used to playing,” he said. “ We can’t give up the easy scores like we did last year.
“ I think we should be better this year. A lready the kids a re m ore cohesive. They’ve got a y ear under their belts and they’re a lot m ore ag gressive, which I like to see. We still don’t have g rea t size, so we have to
be aggressive.”Offensively, E ast will m iss the
services of all-county quarterback J a m e s G ran t, now s ta r t in g a t R am apo College. The M inutemen, a fte r relying heavily on G rant a year ago, will have a different look this fall but still run from the D elaw are wing-T, although Savagae is unsure a t what the team is capable of.
“We have to go through some scrim m ages to see w hat we can do. I would like to say th a t w e're going to be varied and mixed, being able to run the ball, but I don’t know yet. We did a lot of things on offense last year around Jam es th a t we won’t be doing th is y ea r.”
E vans takes over a t quarterback and will be helped by the re turn of P arham a t one of the halfback spots.

Will Owls continue winning tradition?By TOM SIMMONS
HIGHLAND PARK - 9-1? Couldthe Highland P ark Owls m ake it a fourth consecutive year? Only ten weeks, a fairly competitive schedule, and a lot of blood, sw eat, and tea rs stand in the way.
In order for the 1988 football season to continue in a pa ttern of excellence a certain intangible elem ent is needed. Chemistry.
Lacking the general leadership Duality provided by seniors and
KEITH AGRAN
returning letterm en, the Owls enter the cam paign with only a handful of seniors. In what m ost coaches and ath letic directors would consider a transition or rebuilding year, head coach Joe Policastro is looking forw ard to a challenge.
“ We havent’ had th a t m any p ractices yet, but I ’ve seen m ost of the 40-plus guys and w e’re real confident. We should be com petitive. I like our chances.”
C reating this stum bling block of youth and inexperience w as partly due to the attention given 1987 grad uate standouts John Henry Johnson and Melvin Sharp. Replacing them presents a problem but Policastro has been blessed with an above- average influx of talent, as well as an existing base with which to work.
“ After our scrim m ages, we should be geared up and ready to m eet South Brunswick. We’ve got a g rea t bunch of bright kids here and they should all see plenty of playing tim e throughout the y e a r .”
Inexperience m ay prove to be an advantage, however, as varied offensive and defensive setups and form ations should m otivate everyone and keep them in the gam e. This should build unity and chem istry. The lack of a dom inating Johnson- type p layer also enhances team dep th and C oach P o lic a s tro is especially proud of this.
“ We’ll be counting on the younger guys to fill the slack and round out th is te am .”
In addition, the success and overall developm ent of the young Owls will determ ine the composition of the 1989 team . According to Policastro, “We could really field relatively the sam e team next year and we’re certain ly preparing ourselves for th a t possibility .”
Solid backup p layers and versatile two-way linemen also elim inate the
SEAN HUNT
fears in juries p resen t a s well as exposing them to new strategies.
“We’re deep in just about every position and th e re ’s no reason we c a n ’t be in every g am e,” said Policastro.
A look a t the offense, w here Policastro will use prim arily a proset, and an T form ation, sees senior Keith Agran (5-foot-ll, 170 pounds) quarterback ing and playing free safety. His replacem ent would be C harles Archibald (6-0,170).
The chief weapon of the Owls appears to be the backfield, where sophom ore Bruce P resley (5-11,165), coming off a nine-TD perform ance in 1987, will get m ost of the work. His supporting cast includes soph Rico Rios (5-10, 170), a sure sparkplug a fte r a 23-TD freshm an season, and senior M aurice Qualls (6-0,170). The w e lco m e a d d itio n of f re sh m e n K aram e Kenney (6-0, 170) and Sean Council (5-9, 165) providing backup roles. Also, tran sfe r Sean Hunt from Edison will get a good look.
Policastro will use a combination of wideouts and tight ends to move the football through the air. A lternating will be T racy Law rence and M erle Taylor (both 5-7, 135). Jam es Korton (6-0, 180) should be the p rim ary TE and inside linebacker. E xpect to see m ultiple offensive schem es, m aybe an occasional wing form ation, to com pensate for the
height d isparity in the receiving corps.
On the line, in a 3-5 setup, and playing both ways, dem onstrating leadership and support as the nucleus of the lineup a re Shaun H arrison and P e te r Ballou (both 6-0, 190) a t the guard positions and Chris A pgar (6-0, 230) and Keith Cenicola (6-0, 185) a t the tackles. Cenicola will double in the linebacking unit.

Hefty line should giveBy ALLANCONOVER
B R I D G E W A T E R - T o n y M aglione’s approach to the M id-State Conference football schedule never varies, regard less of w hether his team is facing an unbeaten opponent o r the league doorm at.
“ I p repare for all of th em ,” said the B ridgew ater-R aritan W est head coach. “ I figure any of them can beat us, or we can beat any of them . ”
This fall, the Golden Falcons m ay be able to beat a few m ore squads than in recent years. Seeking to re bound from last season’s 1-7-1 showing, West should be bolstered by a veteran-laden line — particu larly on offense — and a collection of sm allish but quick backs.
“ I ’m very excited about th is team — I like being around them and coaching them ,” said Maglione, who
en ters his eighth cam paign as W est’s head coach. “ I think the kids feel a good thing is coming. They’re working hard and they’re enthusiastic and they’re having fun.
“ I ’ve alw ays said in the past tha t I’m cautiously optimistic. Well, this year w e’re very optim istic, m oreso than usual.”
Two sturdy reasons for West optim ism a re seniors D arren Howell and Dan Smith, both of whom could be Division I-A recru its. Howell is a 6-foot4, 245-pound tight end who led the Falcons with 28 pass receptions las t y ear while Sm ith is a 6-4, 260- pound two-way linem an.
Offensively, West re turns m ost of its in terio r line, with the exception of the cen ter position.
“ The line’s going to have to carry us,” said Maglione. “ They’re better
than they were a y ear ago, and th ey ’re bigger and stronger. They have experience in w hat we’re doing offensively. They feel m ore confident, and I feel they’ll help us do w hat we w ant to do.”
Sm ith and senior Scott Tyson (5-10, 205) a re the tack les while seniors Dennis Carovillano (6-2, 190), who was a tackle last year, and Brian Cenci (5-9,160) will be the front-line guards.
At cen ter will be senior Mike Place (6-0, 210), who suffered a knee injury while playing tackle in the season- opener a year ago, or junior Bob K ugler (5-10,220).
Howell holds forth a t tight end, but 6-4, 190-pound senior Steve Russell also m ay give him an occasional b rea ther or even be utilized as a second tight end.
Falcons a liftSenior Mike Winchock (5-10, 175)
and juniors Otto Gsell J r . (5-7, 140) and Randy F isher (5-10, 185), who played JV ball a t North Bergen last fall, a re the quarterback candidates.
Maglione indicated that Gsell has had m ore playing experience on the freshm an, JV and varsity levels than Winchock and F isher but the s ta rte r w on’t be d e te rm in ed un til the Falcons have a few scrim m ages under their belts.
Jun ior Bob Collins (5-10, 190) will p la y fu llb a c k , w ith c la s s m a te Charles Goodyear (5-8, 150) also looking for some playing time.
If they don’t play quarterback, Winchock and F isher m ay see action a t wingback, along with junior Kurt F raney (5-6, 140), junior Joe DeLu- san t (5-9,160), sophomore Joe Russo (5-11, 190) and senior Chris Noviello
(5-8,170), who didn’t play last year.The split ends a re senior Joe P erry
(5-11, 145), junior M ark Crawford (5-11,145) and Russell.
Top reserves on the offensive line a re senior Jim Daily (5-9, 150) and junior Joe Santicerm a (5-10,160).
Defensively, West will have Howell and Carovillano a t the ends and Smith and Kugler a t the tackles, with Tyson figuring in as an alternate at both positions.
The outside linebackers a re Cenci and Winchock, with Daily also seeing some tim e there, while the inside backers are Place and Collins (Santicerm a is the top sub here). But the linebacking corps already suffered a blow when veteran Mike Lynch, one of W est’s tri-captains along with Collins and Winchock, fractured his

Critical year forBy STEVESMITH
EDISON— This m ay be the m ake or break y ear for the W ardlaw- H artridge High School football program .
The R am s were forced to forfeit their final two gam es of the 1987 season last F all due to a shortage of players and trudged home with an 0-8 record.
It was a v ery forgetable year.But 1988 has brought the program a
new coach in Rich Shello, who also serves as the school’s Athletic Director, and also w hat appears to be a g rea ter com m itm ent in m aking the program prosper instead of deteriorate.
I t’s a m a tte r of survival.“We’re encouraged,” said Shello,
who expects to have about 27 players on his opening day roster for this Satu rday’s opener against St. P e te r’s. “ We’re going to rely on a corps of 14 or 15 kids to carry the bulk of the weight this season. If they get hurt, then we’ll be in trouble.
“We’re a very sm all school,” he added. “Our school graduates only 50 kids or so a year, and they run a soc
cer program a t the sam e tim e. But the kids have been working hard . I t’s a m a tte r of staying healthy and m aking the plays. We need to m aintain a positive attitude. We need to get off to a good s ta rt to get the kids’ confidence going.”
THE RAMS return several veterans from las t y e a r’s unit, headed by senior quarterback Dusty Wyman (6-2, 180). Wyman threw the R am s’ lone touchdown of the y ea r in ’87, and has looked good in running Shello’s p ro -se t o ffense d u rin g th e p re season.
“He’s learned to become a leade r,” said Shello of Wyman. “ H e’s got good speed, a strong arm , and he’s intelligen t.”
'The two starting running backs should be seniors B akari Lee (5-9, 165) and G ary P a te (5-11,165), a soccer convert.
“ Both a re very qu ick ,” Shello noted. “They’re sprin ters. We’d like to get outside as often as possible.”
One of the m ain cogs on the offensive line will be senior co-captain and ta c k le B illy M ille r (5-11, 210), another veteran whom Shello is very
Ram football program
im pressed with.“ Billy’s very, very quick and he
has an awful lot of desire ,” praised Shello. “He ju s t doesn’t give up, and i t ’s starting to get contagious.”
The res t of the the R am offensive line will be anchored by senior guards Josh P erfit (5-9, 165) and D ave Hancock (5-10, 185); senior center Robbin Ram os (5-9,185); and sophomore tackle Sheldon Riddick (64), 200).
Senior co-captain Steve Edisis (6-1, 180) is a split end with “ good hands” , according to Shello, while senior Bobby Boccher (5-6,145) should open a t flanker. H is brother, Jim m y (5-11, 185), a senior, is expected to begin the year a t the tight end slot.
“ Jim m y’s a very good blocker, and he can catch the ball,” sta ted Shello.
The placekicking chores w ere up
for g rabs a t p ress tim e between several candidates. Shello would not elaborate.
Shello said th a t he would use both a 5-2 and 4-3 defensive alignm ent during the season, depending on the situation. M iller will play a key role in the schem e of things from his linebacker position, w here he’ll call the te am ’s defensive signals.
“ We’d like to use him as m uch as poss ib le ,” sa id Shello of M iller. “H e’ll be a w orkhorse for us. You’ll be hearing m ore about h im .”
Jim m y “ Boz” Boccher should be the other starting linebacker, while R am os looks like the opening gam e nose ta ck le . P e rf it an d R idd ick should open as defensive tackles, while Hancock and junior Rob Saw- icki (5-10,170) appear to have gotten the nod a t defensive end.
Shello considers his linebacking corps to be the strongest p a rt of his team , with his defensive secondary righ t behind. Bobby Boccher and Edisis will probabely open a t com er- back, while P a te , W yman, and Lee vying for the two safety spots. Senior Scott Goodsite (5-10,175), a tran sfe r
student from Westfield, and junior G ary M iller (5-6, 170) begin the season in reserve roles in the defensive backfield. W yman will handle the punting duties.
Although the R am s played better as the pre-season wore on, Shello felt there was still some room for im provem ent.
“We need to get a little be tter on the line of scrim m age,” he noted. “We need to get a little m ore physical. But I feel w e’re going to be very good a t the skill positions. Our speed in the backfield is good and our quarte rb a c k and w ide re c e iv e rs a re good.”
Shello h asn ’t se t any im m ediate goals for this y e a r’s contingent.
“We’ll just take each gam e one a t a tim e ,” the Sprinfield College (M ass.) g raduate said. “We w ant the kids to believe in them selves. We’ve tried to do things to build up enthusiasm for the sport. H ard work pays off.
“ I don’t think th a t the m easure of success will be defined in wins and losses,” he concluded. “ It will show in the p rogress the kids m ake and how we stabilize our p rog ram .”
HEAD COACHLEN RIVERS — Beginning his 31st season as a football coach,

New era begins at ManvilleByDAVEALLENA
MANVILLE — The operative word a t M anville this fall will be new, a s in new head coach, new offense,' new defense, and a lot of new sta rte rs .
D on S o m m a ta k e s . o v e r th e M ustangs’ head coaching duties arid in doing so has discarded the run- and-shoot offense th a t helped M anville to a 5-3-1 m ark a year ago for a m u ltip le offense, while th e 4-4 defense of previous seasons has been replaced by a varie ty of five- and six-m an fronts.
The M ustangs have a handful of s t a r t e r s r e t u r n i n g , i n c l u d i n g second-team picks B rian Fregeolle and John Norz from the G azette’s A ll-Som erset County squad , but S o m m a , w ho h a s c o a c h e d a t D u n e l l e n , N o r t h H u n t e r d o n , E lizabeth and M ataw an during a
17-year career, feels-it will be a m a tte r of getting to know the team and the team getting to know him .
“ This is the firs t tim e I ’ve gone into a school in th e fall. U sually I s ta r t in the spring, so the kids a re taking a l i t t le . longer to" get to know me. C om m unication, hav ing com m on goals and working hard a re the keys to success"” lie said. - -
“ All the program s I ’ve gone into, the kids have alw ays done well. It w asn’t ju s t m e and it w asn’t ju s t the kids. I t ’s a m a tte r of understanding each other and m eeting each other half way. I’m still try ing to see w hat these kids can do.”
Som m a has been experim enting with moving Fregeolle, a s ta r te r a t halfback las t y ea r a s a junior, to quarterback w here 64), 175-pound senior M ark P sch ar is also vying for
the starting job.Fregeolle, a 5-8, 135-pounder, is
also a candidate a t tailback along with 5-10,170-pound senior le tterm an Jeff B rocklehurst. Senior le tterm an Rick P ietrzyk (6-1, 205) will s ta r t at fullback.- The tight end and wide receiver spots will be interchangeable with Norz, a 6-3 190-pound senior, and his backup from a y ear ago, senior Andy K assick (6-3,185), along with senior P e te M urawski (5-10, 160), who sta rted on the outside, battling for playing tim e with juniors Mike Paulina (5-8, 150) and Bill D em eter (5-9,160).
On the offensive line, seniors Stan Adamcio (5-11, 220), F rank Figel (5- 11, 196) and John Adams (6-3, 235) a re in contention for the two jobs a t tackle, while seniors Greg Latsko

Although he has not had a g reat deal of tim e with the offense, Somma has seen enough to know w hat he would like to do.
“ We a re going to try to get the ball into the hands of the ath letes by pitching it, handing it or throwing the ball to them . Fregeolle is an athlete, B rocklehurst is an athlete, Norz and K assick a re good athletes. We’ll try to utilize the ta len t we have to our

Another impressive Spartan castBy DAVE ALLENA
SOM ERVIIBE - loosing Division I recru its like Tekay Dorsey and Rob Nittolo along with some other fine athletes would be enough to take the edge off the expectations of m ost coaches, but not P ierce Frauenheim .
Losing a group of standouts to graduation last June has not dam pened the Im m aculata head coach in the least, as he expects the Spartans to continue their winning w ays once again.
“ I ’m very confident in this group of p lay e rs ,” F rauenheim said. “ Of course w e’re going to m iss Tekay and Rob and the others, but we have some very capable replacem ents. I think we had some g rea t athletes last year, but because of our num bers, we have quality replacem ents a t every position.
“ I ’m looking forw ard to th is season. This should be another typical Im m aculata team in which the seniors step in and get the job done. That has been the situation over the years and I expect it to continue this year as well.”
Coming off an 8-2 season in which they reached the North Je rsey P arochial A playoffs before losing to powerful St. Joseph’s of M ontvale, the S partans have th ree s ta rte rs re tu rn ing on both sides of the ball as well as their placekicker.
Brian Quinn, a 6-0175-pound senior who does all the kicking, and 6-2, 230-pound junior Chris San Giovanni, lead the list of veterans for Im m acu la ta , which re tu rns 14 let- term en in all. San Giovanni, who was a two-way tackle a year ago, and Quinn both earned first-team All- Som erset County honors from the Gazette.
The two guards — Jam ie Shapiro, a 5-11,180-pound senior who w as nam ed to the all-county squad’s second unit, and 6-1, 200-pound senior B rad Sweet — also re tu rn on offense, while on defense San Giovanni is back a t tack le and seniors Jason R oyster (5-10, 185) and Bill G uterl (6-0, 185) will s ta r t a t linebacker again.
Offensively, the Spartans will stay with the ir m ultiple-I a ttack with R oyster set a t tailback and senior
le tterm an Tom Rice (5-8. 165) backing him up, while G uterl is slated to open a t fullback.
D uring the early portion of p reseason, four p layers w ere battling for the quarterback spot with senior M att Tyburski (6-0,175), senior Scott Zieser (5-7,155), junior B rian Cellilli (6-0, 175), and sophm ore Raheem T rotm an (6-2, 175) in contention for the spot.
F rauenheim adm itted som e anxiousness over the quarterback job being wide open, but figured to have the contest down to two following a couple of scrim m ages.
“ l a m a bit w orried about q u a rte rback, but not because the kids there a re n ’t capable. We have four with equal ability, but you can’t really spread out the practices to four quarterbacks. I expect to have the situation narrow ed down to two kids by the tim e w e’ve had our second scrim m age.”
San Giovanni will move from tack le to tight end this fall, a fte r inju ries forced him to shift inside a y ear ago. Rice, which backing up
R oyster, is also a candidate a t split end with junior le tte rm an Kevin Kedziora (6-0,160), while senior lette rm an Kevin K assick (6-0,165) will s ta r t a t flanker.
Four new com ers a re battling for the two tackle jobs a s juniors Scott Corley (6-2, 235), Joe Langon (6-3, 210), Kevin C arcich (6-2, 240), and John Carlson (6-6, 210) a re vying for starting honors.
The cen te r post will go to one of th ree p layers — senior le tterm en Rick Tyler (6-1, 230), senior Mike Redm ond (5-11, 175) or junior Bill D orrler (6-0,170).
F rauenheim figures his offense will be doing ju s t about w hat it has alw ays attem pted to do.
“ We’ll be try ing to control the ball w ith a running gam e. With San Giovanni, Shapiro and Sweet back up front, the line should be the strongest p a rt of our offense,” he said. “ We have R oyster and G uterl running the ball, and both a re good ath letes, and we won’t be afraid to throw the ball if we have to .”
Im m acu la ta will again use a 5-3
setup on defense. Tyburski, Sweet and junior Tim Longua (5-11,165) a re battling for the th ird linebacker spot along w ith G uterl in the m iddle and R oyster. The three-m an secondary will m ost likely come from the group of Cellilli, who s ta rted a couple of gam es las t year, Zieser, Tyburski, and Rice.
Up front, senior le tte rm an Steve S tainer (5-11,180) and Shapiro will be the ends and San Giovanni will be a t a tackle post. Corley, Langon, Carcich, and Carlson a re the candidates a t the other tackle, while Mike Chisari, a 5-6, 160-pound senior lette rm an , and M att Salerno (5-11, 200) a re working a t noseguard.
“Defensively, I expect this to be another strong un it,” F rauenheim . “ We’ve alw ays played good defense here and I expect these kids to continue th a t trad ition . G uterl and R oyster m ake our linebackers the best p a rt of the defense.”
As fa r as goals a re concerned, the team objectives really don’t change from y ear to year.
P IE R C E FRAUENHEIM — The dean of Som erset County coaches, F rauenheim is entering his 23rd cam paign as Im- m acu la ta ’s head coach. The form er R utgers U niversity defensive back has a ca ree r 119-85-2 record and has been particu larly successful in the las t six years , posting a 52-10 m ark . Im m acu la ta was 8-2 las t fall and qualified for the sta te parochial playoffs.

Hawks hope to continue winning waysBy STEVE SMITH
EDISON— E very y ear the J .P . Stevens High School football team loses a num ber of ta lented p layers to g rad u a tio n , and ev e ry y e a r the Hawks a re a contingent to be reckoned with in the Red Division of the G reater M iddlesex Conference.
This y ear should be no exception. The Hawks enjoyed a 6-3 cam paign
last F all, but veteran head coach Tony Simonelli realizes th a t having another successful season will depend on a num ber of factors.
“ The prim e ingrediant in order for our team to enjoy success will be how some of our inexperienced people m ature during the y ea r,” explained Simonelli. “ If they can handle the jobs we think they can, then I think we can have a succesful cam paign. But a lot of it depends on how the
o ther team s in our division do. E verything is rela tive to your conference. I t’s alw ays difficult to be successful in this division and I ’m su re this year will be the sam e. We’ll have our work cut out for us and I ’m sure it’ll be another tough season like it alw ays is.”
WITH THE ADDITION of form er M id-State Conference pow erhouse Piscataw ay this year, the Red Division m ay be m ore com petitive than it ever was.
T hat’s saying quite a lot.L ast y ea r’s starting quarterback ,
Joe Riggi, h as g raduated , but Simonelli has been very pleased with the progress of th ree signal-callers during the pre-season. The leading candidate to run the H awks’ option offense is senior A1 Lovett (5-11,175), a gifted runner and leader on the
field. Jun ior Jeff Block (5-11, 165) and sophomore Jeff Darnowski (5-11, 165) a re also vying for the starting slot.
“ W e’re ve r y p leased w ith a ll th ree ,” said Simonelli. “ A1 looks like the best runner, Jeff Darnowski is the best passer of the three, and Jeff Block does everything relatively well with no rea l single strength. Right now, we’re hoping one can em erge and become the s ta r te r .”
Senior Rob Kole (5-10, 185), who scored a pa ir of touchdowns last year, m ay s ta r t a t fullback, while junior E ric Costa (5-10, 195) and sophomore Kale McKenzie (5-10, 170) should also see some playing tim e a t the position. Simonelli will certainly m iss g raduated tailback Tim B radley, who led the team in rushing and touchdowns (eight) last season, but
senior Chuck McCann (5-10, 175) should be able to handle the position well. He scored five TDs in ’87 and is “ a good, hard-nosed kid,” according to Simonelli.
While McCann is the leading candidate a t tailback, seniors Sean Mills (5-8, 165), Tim Gleason (5-11, 175), Troy Alexander (6-0, 175) and sophomore Felim o Sharp (5-9,135) are all very quick and capable. Gleason, in fact, is a sprin ter and has run a 4.6 40-meter dash.
“He’s the fastest kid on the team ,” said Simonelli of Gleason.
Senior Bill Healy (5-10, 160) will probabely open as the slotback, while senior Kevin Meyerhoff (5-10, 185) and Mills m ay see action there as well. Seniors Bill Thomas (6-3, 180), Tony Newsom (6-1,170) and Alexander should share tim e as split ends
and all a re blessed with good speed.Simonelli is hoping tha t his club
can mix the run and pass a little m ore often than they did last year.
“We’re not known a s a passing team , but we try to throw the ball 12 to 15 tim es a gam e,” he stated. “We’re looking for a little m ore balance offensively this year.”
Anchoring the offensive line are seniors tackles Jason M ittlem an (6-3, 214) and Adam Crilly (5-11,202), and junior guards Jack Jun (5-10, 185) and Anton B arnes (5-10, 185). Crilly will move over to guard once senior tackle Jeff Hayes (5-11, 245) returns from a broken hand. Senior Muhoa Yu (6-3,225) and junior Brad Divock (6-0, 220) add depth a t tackle, while seniors Carm en Catena (5-9,240) and Jesse McCrea (6-0,175) a re battling
TONY SIMONELLI- A 1963 graduate of Rutgers U niversity, where he was a three-year s ta rte r a t tackle. He also played on the undefeated Scarlet Knights squad of 1961 (9-0). After serving as an assistan t coach a t J .P . Stevens for 19 years, Simonelli becam e the head coach in 1983 and has compiled a 40-12-0 m ark, leading the Hawks to back-to-back Central Jersey , Group IV state football championships in 1984 and ’85.
