Avenue in Cranford, are offeringSuper Bowl platters for fansthrowing their own Super Bowlbash.
Hershey's owner Mike Sbarrosaid his shop is offering a pletho-ra of platters to customers duringthe big game. Sbarro got creativein preparing the platters; every-thing from the six-foot "ArmsteadSub" to the "Sloppy JoeJurevicius" is on the menu.
Mr. J's is featuring its normalselection on Sunday, includingthree- and six-footers, cold cutplatters and hot and cold buffetplatters. Owner. John Tagart saidhis shop's sloppy joes are a most-popular item.
Of course, those staying homeor visiting a friend's house tocatch the game will need some-thing to wash down all that food.Dittrick's on North Avenue inGarwood is taking advance kegorders; store employees said theyexpect the bulk of those orders tocome in today. The liquor store isalso offering special on cases ofwarm beer, employees said.
No Super Bowl would be com-plete, especially in the state fromwhich one of the teams hails,without a round of predictions,and most area business owners,employees and officials agree onone thing: This is the Giants' year.
With perhaps a waywardRavens funs or disgruntled Jetfan appearing here or there, mostin the area believe it will beGiants Head Coach Jim Fasselgetting doused with Gatorade "atthe end of what will be a tight,defensive game.
Weatfield resident David Tuespredicted the Giants by six pointsand said you could "take it to thebank." Cranford's Stucker pre-dicted a 17-10 Giants win, whileJolly Trolly bartender NinuHoxha didn't suggest a score butsaid she knows the Giants wiltwin
Cranford Mayor George Jornsaid it will be "Giants all the way,"while Westfield Deputy MayorNeil Sullivan predicted a 23-17Giants win.

School officials uniteto fight bus proposalBy MICHAEL ft CUOZZOTHE RECORD-PRESS
I UNION COUN1T — The New\ Jersey School Boards Association; and the Union County. Educational Services! Commission is calling on local;school boards to oppose abussing bill proposed by StateSenator Joseph Kyrillos Jr.
The bill, S1598, could forcelocal school districts to contractfor busing of special-needs stu-
• dents and if approved could be! on the books for the 2001-2002| school yean It is currently in the; hands of the State SenateEducation Committee, en routeto a final vote by the entire N.J.
', Senate. No date for that vote has; been set.; According to Mike Yaple,' spokesman for the SBA, the"main concerns of many schoolofficials across the state involvesafety and money issues.Bringing in new, unknown buscompanies to transport special-
. needs kids between districts"could put a dollar figure aheadof the safety of the students,"Yaple said.
He added that the bill couldcome under heavy fire from par-
. ents who think their children's~ safety is threatened. "Nothing- can bring irate parents to a•school board (more) than busingj problems," said the spokesman
for the SBA, which represents• 600 local school boards in the- state., - According to the language: S1598, the bill "ensures that the^cost of pupil transportation will
be the lowest possible." ButYaple said the SBA believes oth-
_• erwise. "The bill aims to increase7 competition and lower costs, but•the opposite could occur," he said.
The SBA fears the bill could.create a bus company monopoly,;;with one large company under-- cutting smaller ones, the.spokesman said. It would "essen-tially drive (the smaller compa-
• nies) out of business," Yaple said."When that (bus) company is
the only company in town, they:can set the price at whateverthey choose," he said.
. . UCESC Superintendent Ed, Hartnett sent a letter to county^education service commissions,-asking them to ask local districtsto adopt resolutions opposing
> 81598. According to Harnett,..when two districts need to bus-students to a school, they have
operated "informally," workingout the procedures among them-selves and small shared-servicesefforts. The new bill, Hartnettsaid, would require the districtactually providing the trans-portation to go to bid with theother districts, as well as withprivate companies.
In essence, Hartnett said, thebill is "creating another level ofpaperwork" by taking busing"out of the private sector."
Hartnett said he saw the billas discouraging to cooperativeagreements between districts. Itcould take individual districtsupto two months to sort throughbids, he said, noting his concernthat districts will not have thetime to work a deal out withother districts — and willinstead go with a particular con-tractor simply to sidestep theextra time and effort.
Private contractors can costmore money, and Hartnett saidhe thinks districts would notspend the extra time needed towork out a cheaper alternativewith another district.
The UCESC wants to encour-age shared services between dis-tricts because it is "more efficientand cost effective," Hartnettnoted.
"Private contractors don'twant cooperatives," Hartnettadded, suggesting Kyrillos was"listening to the contractors."
Kyrillos did not return callsplaced this week by the Record-Press and could not be reachedfor comment.
Both the Cranford andWestfield school boards havedecided to oppose S1598, butonly the Cranford Board ofEducation has adopted a formalresolution. Both school districtshave about 60 out-of-district spe-cial-needs placements.
Despite the outcry from stateand county officials, WestfieldSuperintendent of SchoolsWilliam Foley said he did not seethe need to adopt a formal reso-lution.
"It's not a major concern,"Foley said, adding the bill wouldnot affect Westfield "in any sig-nificant way." t
Cranford school officials, how-ever, adopted an anti-S1598 res-olution at their meeting onMonday. School BusinessAd min is trator Robert C a rfagno -said Cranford officials saw a"need to support the UCESC inopposition to this bill."
All that jazzScotch Plains bass player leads trioin jazzy, improvisational WAC gigBy THOMAS SCOTTTHE RIU'ORUl'HKSS
SCOTCH PLAINS — In1973, high school senior andaspiring bass player DonMessina dragged his instru-ment up the stairs to theQueens apartment of LennyTristano, the legendary jazzpiano innovator and jazzteacher. Messina, who was withhis aunt at the time, remembersher asking Tristano, "Lenny,where can this guy get gigs?"
"To which Lenny justlaughed," Messina said. "Lennydidn't think that playing gigs inclubs was that important. Heloved 'private' jam sessions, butnot gigs."
Gigs, however, have alwaysbeen important to Scotch Plainsresident Messina, who alongwith pianist Larry Bluth anddrummer Bill Chattin is sched-uled to appear tonight at theWatchung Arts Center. Ticketscost $12 apiece.
The legacy of Tristano is notonly about the great body ofperformances and records hemade during his career, He isrenowned for his innovativeideas about playing jazz, and
served as a mentor to a leg-endary jazz following.
"Among his students weresome of the great innovatorsand imurovisers that changedjnzz,"siiid Messina, who consid-ers himself one of those influ-enced by "Tristano's genius."
"He influenced a whole arrayof jazz elite, from CharlieMingus to Bill Evans, SalMosca, Warne Marsh, LeoKonitz, Phil Woods und evenBilly Joel," Messina said.
Messina has been perform-ing with Bluth and Chnttin for21 years. Chattin studied withTristano and. Bluth studiedwith Sal Mosca, one ofTristano's most famous andaccomplished students.
The Bluth, Messina, ChattinTrio's improvisational approachto jazz is right out of theTristuno playbook. "We onlyknow one way to play, and that'sto improvise," Messina said."Our repertoire is selected fromstandards from Cole Porter,Gershwin, Jerome Kern,Charlie Parker, Warne Marshand Bud Powell that we impro-vise over,"
Each trio member brings hisown improvisational style to
The Bluth, Messina, Chattin Trio, featuring Scotch Plains bass player.Don Messina (center), is scheduled ta brings its jazzy, improvisa-tional style to the Watchung Arts Center stage beginning at 8 p.m.'tonight.
benr. "Bluth is capable of notone improvisiitional line on thepiano, but two," Messina said,"while Chattin is a drummerwho keeps intensity with a soloup, although his volume goesdown."
Sometimes, an audience canhave (i hard time following ntune, Messina said, noting thetrio might decide to jump rightinto the improvisation beforethe standard structure is estab-lished. "The audience expecta-tion is to hear songs they recog-nize, but they can never antici-pate where we'll go," he said.
Because these musicians arenot on the road or making
records, they can fine-tune theirimprovisational approach withplenty of practice. Their ability.to practice innkcs playing ses-sions that much more interest-ing, Messina said, nnd serves asan opportunity to introduce newlines.
These days, the trio averagesone gig per month — which isperfect, according to Messina."We're in control," he said. "Wepick and choose when andwhere we want to play.Performing on our own terms,we are more nnd more sponta-neous."
Tonight's WAC concert isscheduled to begin at 8 p.m.

CommentaryGo Big Blue!
After one of the most bitterly fought political seasonsin history, and before New Jersey prepares for its ownpolitical dramas this year, there is something all stateresidents can agree upon — the Giants will win SuperBowl XXXV.
The Giants are New Jersey's football team, just asthe Devils are the state's hockey team and the Nets —though we may not like to admit it — are the state'sbasketball team. While the Jets are owned by aSomerset County resident, the team has yet to capturethe hearts of state fans. And while both the Jets and theGiants claim residency in New York, simple geographydisagrees: Giants Stadium and the rest of theMeadowlands are located in the Garden State. NewYork can have the Statue of Liberty; the Giants areours.
And there is no doubt they will win Sunday night, atleaBt according to sports history. New Jersey-New Yorkteams have a fantastic record of defeating teams fromBaltimore, especially when it counts most. Rememberthe wonderful year of 1969, when the Jets beat the Coltsin the Super Bowl and the Mets beat the Orioles in theWorld Series? Ask today's Orioles how much they enjoyfacing the Yankees in the American League playoffs.
Like New Jersey itself, the Giants have received littlerespect throughout this NFL season. The team attract-ed only cursory attention outside this region; footballanalysts commented on the team's "soft" schedule; eventhe New York media downplayed the team's success.But through hard work, dedication and some very con-vincing butt-kick-ings, the Giants have earned their wayto the Super Bowl, and now, respect —• if not for NewJersey, at leust for the team — is but one win away.
Las Vegas odds-makers have made Baltimore thefavorite in Sunday's game. That's shortsighted at best;the Ravens may have an excellent defense, but theGiants have more overall talent and team spirit. Andthey will have all of New Jersey rooting for them.
With that combination in their corner, they can't lose.

Computers key to law enforcementTo The Editor:
As we embark upon this new century, lawenforcement continues to face significant chal-lenges, not the least of which is the investigationand prosecution of individuals responsible forcommitting crimes through the use of computers.Today, the same electronic marketplace that offersmembers of the public unprecedented access to aglobnl market also presents the challenge for lawenforcement to ensure that this marketplace issafe and secure.
In order to meet this chullenge, law enforce-ment must recognize that computer* (ire utilizedin a vnriety of, roles to facilitate crime and ttfateach of these roles raises novel investigative andprosecutorial issues thus making it of particularconcern to law enforcement administrators thatthose engaged in the detection and apprehensionof computer criminals receive appropriate train-ing. Also, computer crime renders conventionallaw enforcement boundaries virtually meaning-less, emphasis must In: placed, as well, on effectivecoordination of effort. Absent such meaningfulcoordination, law enforcement agencies are likelyto conduct redundant investigations or disruptundercover options of other agencies.
It is for these reasons, aiming others, that the
Union County police chiefs and I have agreed toestablish the High Tech Task Force. The principalgoal of the task force will be to coordinate theefforts of Union County law enforcement to pro-tect our citizens against "online outlaws" whoengage in a variety of criminal activity includingillegal sales of guns and controlled dangerous sub-stances, promotion of gambling, Internet fraud,cyberstalking, pornography and child sexualexploitation. In this venture, the task force willapply time-tested investigative techniques to therealm of cyberspace in order to better detect,arrest and prosecute those involved in the Illegiti-mate utilization of computer*. The task force *illalso participate in the education of our citizens toprevent of minimize the risk of their victimisation.
The commitment by Union County law enforce-ment to this effort is in recognition that computercrime is pervasive, transcends traditional jurisdic-tional boundaries and, unless effectively deterred,will adversely impact the quality of life of all ourcitizens. Such a commitment is law enforcement'sduty.
Anything less would be unacceptable.THOMAS V. MANAHAN

Super grateful for 'boundless' effortsBy CAROL B.CHOYE
December 12 was a mile-stone dnte for the ScotchPlains-Fanwood public schoolsus local voters turned out inoverwhelming .support of a$3fi.7 million bond referendumwhich will allow us to expandand revitalize district facilitiesfor the future benefit of stu-dents and the community alike.After literally years of review,discussion and planning lor thedistrict's growing student popu-lation, it took a monumentaleffort from ninny people undgroups to achieve this goal.
I want to thank all of thosewho contributed in any way tothis crucial endeavor. To theHoard of Education which laceda most difficult decision to n>or-gnnizc the grade pattern of thedistrict nnd move forward withun ambitious building plan andreferendum proposal; t<i build-ing principals and departmentheads who studied buildingneeds and gathered input fromparents; to staff members whncontributed ideas, raisedimportant issues and supportedthe referendum in their publiccomments and private conver-sations; to the 1'TA Councilunder the leadership ofDorothy Lusk, president, and tothe members of the schoolPTAs for their enthusiasticefforts to publicize the detailsof the referendum. I offer >po-citd words of commendation *othe members of the (Audit inn (0Support the Bond, an indepen-dent group of citizens whichwas led by Co-ChnirwoiuenMiinya Ungar, local educationactivist and former nationalPTA president, and PatriciaHoynos-O'Connor, nnd unmpTreasurer Craig Nowlin, fortheir unfniling support and

The efforts of all seemedboundless! The Board ofEducation gave their unani-mous efforts to explain thebond referendum in public
After literally years ofreview, discussion andplanning for the district'sgrowing student popula-tion, it took a monumen-tal effort from many peo-ple and groups toachieve this goal.
meetings and in presentationsto local groups and other clubs.Building administrators con-ducted countless coffees andtours so that members of thepublic could get a glimpse intoour schools and get nnswers totheir questions. The ScotchPlnins-Funwood EducationAssociation, through PresidentEd Leonard and the executivecommittee, gave their full sup-port for the bond. Districtadministrators kept localmunicipal officials fullyinformed of our needs nnd ourplans nnd these local officials,in turn, relayed necessaryinformation to their con-stituents. PTA groups preparednnd distributed a strcnm of
fliers to get out the school-based vote. Kathleen Meyer,public information coordinator,worked diligently to developinformative written materials,dealt with reporters, producednewspaper publicity, expandedthe district's Web site and TV34 content to ensure publicunderstanding of the issues,and responded to numerousquestions that were submittedvia the Internet and a referen-dum hotline. John Wyatt, videospecialist at Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School, workedwith Principal David Heisey toproduce comprehensive pro-gramming for TV 34 as a last-minute push before the finalvote. The work of all thesemany hands led to our ultimatesuccess on behalf of the chil-dren of our communities.
Now, with the affirmativevote of the community behindus, we look forwnrd to themonths ahend when our plansnnd dreams will become reality.Our hard work must continueas we finalize blueprints, setpriorities, proceed with the for-mal bidding process and finallybegin the actual renovation andconstruction projects. We willneed the continued commit-ment, involvement nndpatience of everyone in thecommunity to see this through.The results — expanded andimproved facilities that will besafer and more pleasant, thatwill have adequate technicalinfrastructure, that will beaccessible to all — will help usto meet the needs of studentsand the community for years tocome!

Corzine vows to work on N.J. transportation(Continued from page A-1)
mass-transit efforts are generated.". C o r z i n e — who also discussed his
other national committee assignments,including Hftntn on federal banking andpublic works committees — said his job,as far an public transportation is con-cerned, in "to try to get the dough and tryand mnke these things happen."
"It's also to be a leader with regard tothe concept of mass transit in broaderterma," he added, noting the 15 percentto 85 percent split between mass transitand highway transportation in NewJersey "is not a direction I'd like to live
"with.""I think us the most densely populated
state in the country ... we need to makesure that mass transit is a higher priori-ty," the senator said. "We need to moveagainst some of the basic regionalismthat exists within Congress and try toraise up thai split."
Corzine, who called himself "a worker
with a long-term view," said strong polit-ical leadership and a "composite view" oftransportation were essential to main-taining and improving the state's trans-portation system. He said he envisions a"seamless system" that would connectindividual transportation systems acrossthe state and allow people to "move aseasily as possible across the region."
He aiso indicated his desire to electri-fy all rail lines, pursue more communityinput on transportation initiatives andfocus on the service aspect of transporta-tion providers. The senator told coalitionmembers he knows they are "fired upabout the (proposed) Trans-HudsonTunnel," and said keeping tabs on thatproposal "will be as important a task asI'll have."
Somerset County Freeholder andCoalition Chairman Peter Palmer took amoment at the meeting to present a cer-tificate to former WeHtfield MayorThomas Jardim indicating the coalition's
gratitude for Jardim's promotion of statepublic transportation initiatives, andissued a press release explaining thecoalition's opposition to the PortAuthority of New York and New Jersey'sproposed doubling of PATH fares, from$1 to $2 per ticket.
According to the press release, thecoalition also opposes the authority's pro-posed increase for motorists usingHudson Kiver crossings, from $4 to $7.
"We believe a toll and PATH fareincrease are necessary if requiredimprovements to the transportationinfrastructure and resulting quality oflife of the users of the system are to beachieved," Palmer said in the release."(However), given the amount of the(Port Authority's) current budget sur-plus, a more modest fare and tollincrease both allows the (authority) tomake the necessary capital improve-ments to its system and is fairer to theusers of that system."
Police, fire officialsmake first pitch
(Continued from page A-l)MDTs.
Tracy also envisions a majorradio, communications andradar equipment overhaul. Thechief said outdated and outmod-ed radio equipment will bereplaced over the next threeyears, 10 per year, as would hisdepartment's call checkretrieval system, which allowsinstant retrieval of calls foraccuracy and clarification ofdispatch identification.
The chief requested the TownCouncil also consider a $13,000technology upgrades for thePolice Department, includingfive new desktop computers, alaptop computer and four print-ers for exclusive departmentuse.
The chief also made numer-ous other requests, such as thereplacement of light bars oncertain patrol vehicles, theinstallation of video cameras inpolice cruisers and ongoingrefurbishments inside thePolice Department itself.
Town Council members madeno official decisions Tuesdaynight on the two departments'capital improvement budgetrequests, and asked both Tracyand Castellano to appear beforethe Public Safety Committee todiscuss the operating side oftheir respective 2001 budgets.
The Town Council is expectedto gather Saturday to discussthe Department of PublicWorks' capital improvementbudget requests.

CRANFORD — If you haveever looked at faded old familyphotographs and wondered whatlife was like for your great-grandparents, the Crane-Phillips House Museum inCranford has stark reality com-ing.
Robert Fridlington tells of"Cranford 100 Years Ago" in alecture program scheduled torun from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.Sunday. The historian is a long-time trustee of the CranfordHistorical Society, which oper-ates the Crane-Phillips HouseMuseum. He also is a professoremeritus of history at KeanUniversity.
"Life back then was notalways the way we like toremember it," Fridlington said."When we think of ... 1900, wethink of beautiful houses and
horses and carriages, but therewere many problems caused bythe huge changes that weregoing on at the time."
Hundreds of passenger trainsand freight trains rolled throughCranford every day with all thenoise and pollution that camewith thorn. Hobos found theirway into the township on thetrain, There also was a "crimewave," by 1900 standards.
At the same time, Cranfordwas a desirable place to live forpeople who wanted to escapecity life in Elizabeth, Newark,even New York City.
The Fridlington lecture cul-minates a Crane-Phillips HouseMuseum exhibit on "Cranford atthe Turn of the Century," whichfeatures clothing, photos andother artifacts from the period.

A unique approach to artichokesCarciofi con penne
(Artichokes with penne pasta)2 small jars artichoke hearts (in oil)
1 pound ground beef2 large cans crushed tomatoes
1 onion, chopped2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon basil1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Cookj
This week's recipe, carciofican pennc (artichokes withpenne pasta), is ratherunique, wince the artichokesare not fresh, but are jarredin marinated oil. To capturethe essence of the artichoke,you must use the actual mari-nade from the jar — the fln-vor of the marinade definitelyadds to the flavor of the com-pleted sauce.
If you prefer not to UHR thepepper Hakes while cooking,since some diners at yourtabli* might not like the hot.spiff, the spice can be addedto individual servings as pre-ferred. Hut when you add the(lakes during the cookingprocess, the flavor insmoother — not as hot to thepalate.
Try it, you might like it!If you have any questions,
please contact me via fax at(908) 272-2974.
In the meantime, buonapjji'tita! Enjoy!
Drain the artichokesand place them in a bowl,but save the marinade!
Cut the artichokeB inhalf lengthwise) nnd setthem anide.
In a large pot, saute theonion in three tablespoonsof the marinade oil. Stirthe onion piec«H over lowheat until they are wilted.Add the garlic during thelast two minutes or so,then Htir in the banil,oregano and optional red
by Susan Mauriellopepper flakes.
Add the chopped beefand brown over mediumheat, making sure to breakup the clumps of meat. Addthe crushed tomutoes andsalt to taste.
Stir all the ingredientstogether and simmer,uncovered, for approxi-mately 45 minutes.
Add the artichokes andthe remaining marinadeoil, then simmer for anadditional 20 minutes,stirring occasionally.

J,ew releaHesi "Traffic" — Michael Douglas seems harried, suited and very
i^hite as Bob Wakefield, an Ohio judge who is appointed to becometjie" nation's new "drug czar." Among the things he must learnqjui.Q&ly is the secret addiction of his daughter Caroline (ErikaOhriatensenJ. The key plotline is the .shift from law work to drugthuggery, a twilight zune for the rising hard case Javier (Beniciod]el Toro). There is an overlapping San Diego story, about a La Jollayiipster and drug dealer (Steven Bauer), his out-of-it but rapidlyadaptable trophy wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones), a cheap lawyer(Dennis Quaicl), a lizard-hearted hustler (Miguel Ferrer) and apair of amusingly go-for-it DEAcops (Luis Guzman, Don Cheadle)./{ friend said that "Traffic" is, in essence and effect, saying that thedyugwar is a dead loss, that wide drug use is inevitable and maybeeven acceptable. That sounds cynical until you've seen the film.Cast: Benicio Del Toro, Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones,Don Cheadle, Miguel Ferrer, Stephen Bauer, Erika Christensen,Luis Guzman, Jacob Vargas, Tomas Milian, Amy Irving. Runningtime: 2 hours 27 minutes. Rated R. 2 1/2 stars.
Recent releases*! "All the Pretty Horses" — Matt Damon's entirely in the sad-
dle as John Grady Cole, a young Texan who sees the old familyr&nch sold out from under him in 1949. Displaced yet keen for life,Cole heads off to Mexico with his ranch pal Lacey Rawlins (HenryThomaB), on horseback. The time could almost be 1879, and that iswhat the young men want — open spaces for riding, huge ranchesfor working, some women to fancy and tequila to drink. The menfind a 27,000-acre ranch that has been in the Rocha family for 170years; Ruben Blades plays the patron with hard-eyed power. Anddole finds trouble via the master's daughter Alexandra, acted byI*<ene)ope Cruz with her flair for sultry but subtle responses. Theromance is secret and dangerous, and the Americanos are tailed byb&d business. Whatever its problems along the trail, "All the PrettyIforses" is quite a ride. And it rides home. Cast: Matt Damon,Penelope Cruz, Henry Thomas, Lucas Black, Ruben Blades,Miriam Colon, Bruce Dem. Running time: 1 hour, 58 minutes. PG-13. 4 stars.
; "Castaway" — Tom Hanks plays Chuck Noland, a trouble-shooter for the FedEx delivery system, on his way to Asia when hisplane hits a storm and drops into the Pacific Ocean. Suddenly, he'sRobinson Crusoe. Director Robert Zemeckis stages a terrific crashat sea. His stormy ocean is more credible and cogent than thebjowfest in "The Perfect Storm." The story sticks to details. Chucksuffers injuries, deals with a wretched tooth, learns to spear fishand. split coconuts, uses the nuts to save rainwater, and develops achummy relationship with a piece of FedEx flotsam. "Cast Away"dbesn't reach for big, metaphoric meaning, like "Hell in thePacific.11 It has the rugged simplicity of one man's ordeal, withH,anks mumbling little pep talks to himself, sometimes cursing hisluck, dreaming of ice and dropping his spare-tire flab (trim andtanned, Hanks looks close to what he did 15 years ago). "Castaway"id a good yarn book-ended by a weak opening and finish. But theniovie runs past its naturally satisfying climax. Cast: Tom Hanks,Jhjelen Hunt, Running time: 1 hour, 53 minutes.

The pair's girlfriends (Jennifer Garner and MariaSpkoloff) scold the dudes for destroying the girls' house; cult mem-bers'kidnap the dudes, looking for a missing device that coulddestroy the universe; and a transsexual stripper pursues thed^ides, looking for a missing suitcase full of money. It's mainly abhnch of nonsense, an excuse for the sweetly moronic Jesse andQha|ter to ham it up like u Tiger Beat version of Cheech andChang, But "Dude" haa such a goofy, good-natured, subtly satiric

"The Emperor's New Groove" — A sprightly Disney enter-tainment, with vivid cartooning and no overburden of songs. This15th century yarn in Old Peru has about as much to do with thereal Inca Empire as it does with the asphalt business in Detroit,but the adventures of the haughty dude emperor (voice: DavidSpade), a big peasant (John Goodman) and a wonderfully drawnusurper (Eartha Kitt) are considerable fun. 80 minutes, Rated G. 3stars.
"The Family Man" — In "The Family Man," Nicolas Cage playsa double role similar to Rachel Griffith's in the Australian film "MeMyself I," and like Griffith he is far better than the material. AsJack Campbell, Cage is a master of Wall Street "arbitrage," domi-nating his staff and competition with ruthless charm and confi-dence. Thirteen years earlier, he gave up the love of his life, Kate(Tea Leoni), after she proposed he pass on a big business career forher vague dream of total togetherness. Now, after an impromptugood deed at a convenience store, Jack awakens on Christmas tofind himself still Jack Campbell, but living with Kate and theirtwo small kids in a New Jersey suburban house. He's bewildered.Manfully struggling to adjust, he describes his new life like this: "Iwake up covered by dog saliva. After dropping off the kids, I spendeight hours selling tires, retail." The movie ogles the high, swanklife, but condemns it as lonely and empty, white patronizing thestruggling middle class as a backwater paradise of family values.Cast: Nicolas Cage, Tea Leoni, Don Cheadle, Josef Soromer,Makenzie Vega, Harve Presnell. Running time: 124 minutes. 2stars.
"Finding Forrester" — Jamal (Rob Brown) is supposedly agenius from the raw Bronx, a C-student at school, but a masterreader of serious books and a great memorizer. His secret wizardryis detected, and he is given a scholarship to an elite private school,but mainly to bolster the basketball team." Playing pick-up gameswith his buddies, Jamal has been observed by an old man who livesas a comfy hermit on the top floor of a building nearby. Forrester(Sean Connery) wrote a Pulitzer-winning novel in 1953, then fledthe celebrity game and further publication. He befriends the boyby opening his life and lets the boy jab away at a manual type-writer. When Jamal submits his piece to the excruciatinglydemanding Prof. Crawford at school, the pedant twitches withsuspicion. The film reaches for inspiration sloggingly, solemnly, itsfacile drama allowing too many practiced posturings by Connery.Here is the sort of package that, for lack of a loftier label, can sadlybe called "Oscar bait." Cast: Sean Connery, Rob Brown, F. MurrayAbraham, Anna Paquin, Busta Rhymes. Running time: 134 min-utes. Rated PG-13. 2 stars.
"O Brother, Where Art Thou?" — It is touted as "based upon'The Odyssey' by Homer," but that must be Homer plus Jethro.This is "2001: A Hick Odyssey." The Ulysses is George Clooney asEverett, the hipster among three runaways from a Mississippichain gang in the '30s. Everett preens his swank vocabulary overthe heads of the hayseeds that he is chained to and keeps skedad-dling with: Delmar, played as a moronic sweetie-pie by Tim BlakeNelson, and Pete (John Turturro), a rustic dork who seems to bedesperately lashing one IQ point to another. The escapees ramblefrom one yawpy, Odyssean lark to another, chased by redneck copswho like to burn property, and lured by sexy sirens into a swampyerotic paradise. "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" is like A. J. Liebling's"Earl of Louisiana" revised by Mad magazine after a crash coursein chain-gang movies, plus "Paper Moon." Cast: George Clooney,John Turturro, Tim Blake Nelson, Charles Burning, Holly Hunter,John Goodman, Chris Thomas King. Running time: 1 hour 33 min-utes. Rated R. 2 1/2 stars.
"Proof of Life" — A rather bloated, involving, not quite con-vincing throwback to the old foreign intrigue movies that starredBogart and Mitchum. Russell Crowe subs for them nicely as anexpert in ransom negotiation and hostage rescue, helping a des-perate American (Meg Ryan, liberated from cutes) whose engineerhusband (David Morse) is held in a "classic" Latin American coun-try by rebel extortionists. There is too much mood milking and plotdawdling, but all the actors do rather well, including a big thug

who seems like a sordid Cesar Romero, and Taylor Hackford'sdirection finds a tough, exciting rhythm in the big action climax, 2hours. Rated R. 2 1/2 stars.
"What Women Want" — Please, let it not be this brutally vapidcomedy, Mel Gibson flogs his comical "gifts" as a macho-pig, butpreeningly adorable ad man in Chicago, who finds his feminineside — he becomes a stud from both Mars and Venus. Helen Huntis his blunted competition at the agency, awed by his insights. Theconcept gizmo is that he can read women's minds, and what thatseems to establish is that women are whiney hypocrites who rarelysay what they think and feel. Bette Midler, Lauren Holly, DeltaBurke, Marisa Tomei, Ashley Johnson, Valerie Perrine and a dar-ling doing an Audrey Hepburn (circa "Funny Face") knockoff areamong the females who should be embarrassed to be seen in thisshameless star smooch for Gibson, whose cuteness is just aboutinsufferable. Sadly, it was largely written by women and directedby one, Nancy Meyers. Rated PG-13. 1 star.

h SportsRaiders rounding into form for county tourneyRECORD-PRESS
After struggling in its first tripthrough the conference schedule,the Scotch Plains-Fanwood Highboys basketball has begun toturn the corner and is hoping tomake some noise in the Union.County Tournament.
With a 76-65 victory overHillside Tuesday, the Raidersstood at 4-10 heading into yester-day's meeting with Shabazz,eliminated from the state tourna-ment but feeling confident abouttheir level of play. Yesterday's
game against Shabazz marks thebeginning of the second tripthrough the conference schedule,where Scotch Plains feels it willbe much more competitive thanits 2-8 conference start. TheRaiders will host Linden 4 p.m.Tuesday.
Things are starting to comearound," said Head Coach DanDougherty. "We've been doingeverything except getting theactual W."
Scotch Plains began to turnthe corner with back-to-back vic-tories over Kearny and ElizabethJan. 9 and 11. The next three
games were aseries of nearmisses, as theRaiders nearlyknocked offIrvington (56-47), Union (67-57) and the topteam in theirdivision Plainfleld (64-60). Thelosing streak hit four after fallingto East Side Snturday 67-49,after trailing by just two at half.Scotch Plains snapped the losingstreak, its second longest of theseason, against Hillside and arecertainly headed on the right

track.The biggest
reason for thet u r n a r o u n dhas been theplay of theb a c k c o u r t .A n w a rMontgomery,
Adam Bendick and KerwynPnynter learned under fire in thefirst half of the season and arebeginning to put the lessons togood use. Montgomery, the sec-ond leading scorer on the tenm,poured in 25 points Tuesday.
Better ball handling from the
backcourt has enabled AndrewFeeley to get more touches insideand his production has risen dra-matically in recent weeks. Bigmen need someone to get themthe ball, and the Raider back-court have given him a chance todominate the paint.
"Our guards are doing a betterjob — a 100 percent better job,"said Dougherty. "They're han-dling the full-court pressure bet-ter and getting the ball down lowto Feeley. Those are the twomajor reasons were playing bet-ter."
"I think we can be a very dan-gerous tenm," said Dougherty."Alter talking to some coachesabout the tournament, not toomany teams want to play us. Ourgoal now is to finish strong andmake some noise at the countytournament." " '
Vikings grab two dramatic wins over ImmaculataGreen scores 30 indouble-OT thriller
Defense,Johnsonspark girlsRKCORD-PRESS
SCOTCH PLAINS — And youthink the Super Bowl is going tobe a defensive battle?
In a meeting of the top twogirls basketball teams in theMountain Valley Conference-Mountain Division, UnionCatholic handed Immaculata its
I first regular-season loss in two'years, defeating the Spartans129-22 Tuesday afternoon in aI game dominated by defense.
Union Catholic (12-1) used af variety of half-court defenses,[completely shutting downImmaculata for the first 16 min-utes of the game, taking a 9-1halftime lead, and didn't allow afield goal until the flrat minuteof the third quarter. The Vikingsheld Immaculata (12-1) to just21 percent from the field for thegame and forced the Spartansinto 10 turnovers.
Immaculata's aggressivedefense was equally as stingy,limiting Union Catholic to juat29 percent from the floor andonly nine first-half points, whilecausing 12 turnovers.
But the game was clearlyplayed at the Vikings' pace asUC, which has been allowing anaverage of less than 30 points agame, kept the tempo to a crawlwith its match-up zone andman-to-man defense, while tak-ing the Spartans out of theirfull-court traps by effectivelybreaking the pressure andpulling the ball back out.
"We got them out of theirgame," said Union CatholicHead Coach Kathy Matthews,whose team had lost toImmaculata by three points a^month ago. "We like to run whenwe have a chance, but not asmuch as they do. We were look-ing to slow it down whenever wecould. In the first half we wereable to break their press so theydidn't use it in the second half— it wasn't to their advantage."
The Spartans struggled earlyand didn't take advantage oftheir opportunities, allowingUnion Catholic to grab nineoffensive rebounds in the first

half and shooting just 4 for 11from the free-throw line in thegame.
But in the third quarteTImmaculata got on the often si veboards, grabbing five reboundsand managing to pull even at12-all with 3:15 left in the peri-od. Kristen Piscadlo started therally with a three-pointer fromthe left wing — the Spartans'first field goal of the day. KatieVan Doren scored five straightpoints and Jen Hiigenberg drewthe Spartans even when shestole the ball and drove thelength of the court for a layup.
"In the second half they weredoing the same thing as thefirst, nothing different," saidImmaculata Head Coach PamBalogh. "We weren't aggressiveenough in the first half. What
killed us were the second shotsin the first half. They did a nicejob on defense, but offensivelywe weren't aggressive. Weweren't getting good shots."
Union Catholic was able toweather the Spartans' third-quarter run with baskets fromStephanie Green and LisaMortkowicz and maintained a16-13 lead going into the finalperiod.
Immaculata came back withtwo baskets to take fi 17-16 leadwith 4:09 left in the game butKenyail Johnson answered forthe Vikings with a huge three-pointer from the left wing, then,after an empty trip byImmaculata, Shrita Smithscored from in close for a 21-17lend. UC then won the game atthe free-throw line as Smith
made seven of eight attempts toseal the victory.
"Kenyail hit some big shotsfor us," Baid Matthews, "Smithand (Amy) Snyder were a littleoff their games and she camethrough."
The victory pulled UC into atie with Immuculata for theMountain Division lead.
"For our kids this was a bigwin," said Matthews. "We'veevened up the conference, butstill have some tough games leftto play."

SOMERVILLE — It wns amuch different game this timearound.
Immaculiita High'n boys bas-ketball tenm, which routedUnion Catholic by a H3-pointmargin a month ago in ScotchPlains, suffered a stunning 71-62 double-overtime setback tothe VikingH Tuesday night.
"We're a different team nowthan we were then," said UCguard Joo Green. "We've beenplaying much better bnll sincethat loss and we've really start-ed to jell as u unit."
The Spartans (6-6) were donein by aloppy pausing and a dis-mal ll-for-24 performance fromthe free-throw line.
Green paced the Vikings (5-7) with 30 points after manag-ing just five in the earlier meet-ing. He also tut eight of nineshots from the charity stripe1
and UC canned eight freethrows in a row to finish off thegame, a performance SpartansHead Coach Mike Frauenheimwould clearly have loved tohave gotten from his players,
"Eleven for twenty-four aa ateam is just not good enough,"he said. "That renlly was thedifference."
Immnculata wns pluyingwithout guard Jason Keitstnu,out nursing a shoulder injury.The senior leader is scheduledto undergo an MRI to pinpointthe source of hin niiment.
"Without Jason in the lineup,we really needed someone tostep forward tonight nml wedidn't get that kind of perfor-mance," said Frauenheim.
The game was filled withruns by each team. Immaculatawent on a 10-2 tear to pullahead 16-10 early in the secondperiod. The Spfirtans were ledby Mike Dugnn, whose hotshooting kept the gtime close inthe first hulf. Dugan hud 11first-half points including threeshots from three-point range asImmaculata went into thebreak trailing 22-21.

But in the second OT, it wasUnion Catholic which turned upthe heat on defense. Lookingmore like a free safety than apoint guard, Green came upwith three steals of cross-courtpnsses, which helped the visi-tors gain control.
"They were running the sameplay all game against us,"Green said of his steals."! knewthey were eventually going toreverse the ball and I just start-ed timing the throws and jump-ing the lanes."

Automotive/ClassifiedAudi scores another homer with all-wheel all roadBy JBRHV GAHBETTCOPLEY NEWS .SKRVKK
The new Audi all road plowedalong the rutted, rocky trail. It
, went up one hill and down anoth-• er. We got the point: The allroad: could competently handle this
carefully chosen dirt road."We ought to take it up there,"
said my co-driver, pointing to asharp embankment, with a crest
. at the top.Wrong thing to tell me. I
gunned the allroad toward a 10-. foot-high wall of mud and nwks.Before he could finish screaming."I was just kidding," we were ontop of the berm.
We looked back at a carload ofAudi execs and engineers, sittingthere below us, open-mouthed.
"G'mon up!" I yelled to Audi VPLen Hunt.
"No!" he said, shaking his head."All I need to do is j»et stuck, and
• the photographers would have afield day. You proved the point."
„ We had. The all road hadchugged resolutely up the face ofthe embankment and nosed diago-
. nally up over the top. As one, two\ and finally three wheels lost any-• thing to grab for traction, thequattro system transferred trac-tion scamlesHly to the last wheelstill digging in.
We never downshifted the auto-. matic transmission; it soldiered onv until we landed again on all fours.
A lower-range first gear - availableon the allroad in Europe - mighthave helped, but otherwise wewere satisfied.
The allroad had conquered thenastiest piece of terrain we would
" have tackled - not only in the alt-road, but in any stock SUV or
• crossover vehicle.> People probably will get tired of
hearing automotive writers writ-ing this, but Audi nan hit anotherhome run with the allroad (yes,that's a small "a," like the "q" in
. quattro).Hard to believe that as recently
The Audi allroad Is both fun and functional.
ns 1994. Audi was fouling pitchesinto its own dugout with each newmodel. Now, it seems, everythingAudi brings to the plate, knocksthe ball out of the park.
There's not a clinker in thewhole Audi lineup, from the TT totheAS.
With the allroad, Audi movesinto a new .segment, in search ofmore buyers and ever-larger salesnumbers. And even though Audiexpects to sell only 10,000 or so all-roads this year, the little boost inHQICM expected after its mid-November debut was projected topush Audi to a record 80,000 unitesold in 2000.
Audi also hopes at least a thirdof its 300 U.S. dealers now haveenough models to offer, to allowthem to move into Audi-only show-rooms and away from Volkswagon-Porrtcho-Audi outlets.
Audi is the latest Europeanautomaker to reluctantly concedeit needs some sort of SUV-typt>thing in its lineup - without com-pletely surrendering its culturallybased revulsion to this sominallyAmerican genre.
The result?"Oh no, not another $40,000
station wagont" moaned our editorwhen he BBW the first photos of theallroad.
Yes, at the heart of thu allroadis an A6 Avimt wagon. But there isa lot more to the all road than that.
To hulp justify an $8,000 bumpfrom the price of an Avant (Audiapeak for wagon), tho allroad ispacked with content: a twin-turbo,250 horsepower 2.7-liter V-6, thequattro all-wheel drive system,becfed-up underpinnings, and ahoight-ndjustnblt1 pneumatic sus-pension.
Even with pricing in the low- tomtd-$40,0008, the allrond mightofter the best-bang-for-Kuro inAudi's lineup.
The ingenious suspension oloiwis worth the price of admis«ion.
The system enables the allroad,when on the highway, to eiyuy thestability, low center of gravity wuisafety of a car. Off-road, it willpump you up to SUV-like groundclearance, ride height and suspen-sion travel. Hut tluk allroml is not acar/SUV hybrid; it's an "VithtMv'or"vehicle.
Tht> ttllrtmd's suspension can boraised and lowered by as much as'2.(i inches. At the lowest of its fourselectable levels, the suspension is5.<i inches off the tarmac • for high-speed highway high jinks.
At Level 2. it moves up mi inchfor negotiating potholes, curbs andspeed bumps. Level 3 en inks thecar up another inch, for construc-tion zones, lawns and flower beds.
At Level -i, the ground clear-ance adjusts to 8.2 inches, for theRaja 1000. big game safaris ormapping expeditions for NationalCtcngraphic .
That's more ground clearancethan (wasted by at least half the44 base model SUVs now on themarket. And the allroad, also ii|i«the ante with eight inches of wheeltravel.
A lower-range first gear mightallow the allroad to tackle evenmirier off-mading than wi< put itthrough - but that's a job Iwtterloft for professionals.
And almost untoucbnble amongSUVs or hybrids is the ullroad's7,3-socotul 0-fi0 time, which dropsto a quick 6.8 with the manual.
Tho standard (i-spml trunny,which is on every auto writer'swinh liHt, will probably stay infewer than 1,000 of the 2001 all-roads to be produced. Too bad.
Whtlu tho optional 5-speedTiptronic automatic is completelyadequate, the (i-spced wrings theabsolute last measure; of capabilityfrom the allroad package. A tip ofthe Tiptronic to Audi for evenoffering it.
For nfT-mnding, the automaticdoes all right uphill, hut tends toselect one or two gears higher thanneeded for downhill. TIIUI'K onu
time the manual-shirt feuturo ofthe Tiptronic might come inhandy.
Otherwise, the ivfmed quattroall-wheel-drive system maintainsemitrul with w minimum of anxi-ety, on all surfaces. Cornering ftl^ddirectional stability are first-classon pavement; traction and torqueare judiciously meted out off-road.
A new stability system calledESP (for electronic .stabilizationprogram 1, works with the tractioncontrol culled HDL (electronic dif-ferential lock) and four-pad ABSdisc brakes to automatically cor-riH.-t oversteer or undeitttctM'.
Traction is further aided bythe development ofallroad-speciftc17-inch tires with a special treadpattern.
The rear suspension, with tri-angulated upper and lower wish-bones, is stabilized by two controlarms rigidly mounted to tho sub-frame. Up front, the four-link sys-tem is bolted to the lmdy withvibration-damping rubber-to-met ul bushings. ICxpect virtuallyno torque-steer.
The pneumatic suspension isalso self-leveling, as it cyclesthrough itn four settings nutomat-ically (or manually) for drivingneeds us diverse us full passengerloads, truilhhuing or trailer tow-ing (up to H,!)(K) pounds).
At its lowest setting, the all-roaii slips through tho tiir withquid, Hodan-like aerodynamics,sipping about imo gallon of premi-um petrol for every 21 highwaymiles driven. At its highest set-ting, the allroad bounds along off-load - limited to 22 mph - morenimbly than a BMW X5. In fact,the allroad bests the Xf> in groundclearance, center of gravity, turn-ing radius, acceleration, I'uol econ-omy and handling - not to mentionprice.
The similarly-priced VolvoCrosscountry can't match the all-roud's versatility; neither can theless expensive Hulmru Outback.
