So. Bruns- policeexecute drug raid inmobile home parkOne of three arrested during sting wascarrying loaded .357-caliber Magnum
BY CHRIS GAETANOStaff Writer
SOUTH BRUNSWICK -Township police found them-selves in a brief standoffwith a resident during anarcotics search in OakdaleMobile Home Park on April20 that led to three arrests.
The search was part of atwo-month investigation ofsuspected drug-dealingactivities in the mobilehome park, located off Route1, initiated in response tonumerous complaints byresidents. During the couraeof the investigation, led byOfficer John Avalone, policesuspected Wanda Averette,46, was the ringleader.
According to DetectiveJim Ryan, who took part inthe search, dozens of cus-tomers had been seen in andout of Averette's home, sup-posedly buying and consum-ing drugs, coming fromplaces such as Piscataway,and North, East and NewBrunswick. Ryan said thatAverette is believed to havedriven to Newark to pick upthe drugs and then back toSouth Brunswick to distrib-ute locally.
Police were able to pro-cure a search warrant basedon the investigation, whichwas executed April 20.
Just after 10 p.m., adozen members of the SouthBrunswick PoliceEmergency Response Teampried off the two doors ofAverette's mobile home andquickly subdued her.
During the search, offi-cers discovered 37 decks ofheroin, as well as crackcocaine and marijuana.According to police, thestreet value of the drugsseized was $1,000. A deck isa 1 1/2-inch square fold ofwax paper filled with hero-in. The heroin was markedwith the label "HIV," whichis a "brand" name.
Meanwhile, Ryan andtwo other officers, FrankLombardo and Mike Rogers,went to a trailer about ablock from Averette's homein an attempt to questionseveral residents believed tobe connected to her.
While police were at thedoor, Leonard Riley, 49, waswalking down the sidewalkand asked what was goingon. Police said he was told
that an investigation wastaking place and said heshould go home. Rileyreturned a few minuteslater, and was once againtold he should go home.
Officer Lombaro believedthat Riley was acting suspi-cious and asked to see hishands. Riley reportedlyraised his left hand, but lefthis right by his side beforebeginning to sidestep awayfrom Lombarda. Accordingto Lombardo, he could notsee what was in Riley's righthand because of a smallfence obstructing his view.After repeatedly askingRiley to raise his otherhand, Rogers said, hestepped off the sidewalk andinto the street to get a betterview, and upon doing so, hesaw that Riley was carryinga gun.
Both officers then beganto repeatedly tell Riley todrop his gun. According topolice, Riley froze for a fewseconds, and then droppedthe gun at his side and be-gan to get onto the groundas Ryan jumped on him.Riley was carrying a loaded.357-caliber Magnum,according to police.
Averette was chargedwith possession of cocaine,heroin and marijuana, aswell as possession withintent to distribute. She wasplaced in Middlesex CountyAdult Correction Center inlieu of $35,000 bail.
Riley was charged withunlawful possession of aweapon and possession of aweapon for an unlawful pur-pose. His bail was set at$25,000.
A third person, RadamesVasque2, 43, of Piscataway,was arrested for solicitingnarcotics. He allegedlywalked up to one of theplainclothes officers at thescene and asked if he couldbuy cocaine.
Chief Raymond Hayduckapraised the officers for theirhandling of the situation.
"These officers showedtremendous restraint indealing with Mr. Riley," saidHayducka. "The ERT teamtrains and practices contin-ually for a wide array of sit-uations. Their training anddiscipline led them toresolve this situation with-out a shot fired. They are tobe commended."
CADEPaw things: Groupsaves mistreated dogs
Cascade BeagleRescue starts
chapter in N.B.
HY JENNIFER AMATO•Staff Wi-iljr
NORTH BRUNSWICK -The Cascade Beagle Rescue intown is in desperate need of fos-ter homes for its dogs.
The nonprofit organization,which opened on March 1, isthe counterpart of CascadeBeagle Rescue in Portland, Ore.In the six weeks it has been inoperation, eight dogs havealready been rescued with fivemore expected to have arrivedby the end of this week.
"It's gratifying to be able tosave them, but you're limited[by the number of availablehomesl," co-director PatriciaScully said.
The rescue takes unwanted,neglected, abused, stray, home-less or research dogs and pro-vides them with medical, physi-cal, emotional and behavioralsupport. Foster families housethe dogs while an adoption appli-cation process ensues to ensure aproper home for the pet.
"It really is amazing thatthere are so many people outthere doing rescue," Scully said."It's kind of a cool thing to beinvolved in."
The program began in NorthBrunswick, which is co-directorCarolyn Sterner's hometown,after the organization movedout west and allowed the twowomen to branch off on theEast Coast.
"We both actually werebrought up with beagles. Ialways had a beagle as a kid....For a Christmas present oneyear I was looking for a beagleto rescue, so my family chippedin to buy me one from a shel-ter," Scully said.
Her dog, Pokey, lived to be 8years old but was diagnosed at6 1/2 with kidney failure. Whenshe met Sterner through theorganization, she learned that
her puppy, Bailey, who was pur-chased from a pet store, hadalso passed away from kidneydisease.
"We found out we had thesame experiences with beagles,with our first beagle for thatmatter," Scully said.
Since they both felt they hadfailed their dogs because theycouldn't save them, they decid-ed to dedicate themselves torescuing other beagles in need.As a result, the women receivedogs from across the countryfrom people who are changingresidence, have a limit to thenumber of pets they can house

or enter the military. They con-tact other rescues or are sentdogs who are "dumped" afterhunting season down south.
"It was a natural progres-sion, from having and losingdogs to helping dogs," Scullysaid.
Since in some areas thereare laws regarding the numberof pets a person can own, thewomen find foster families whocan house the beagles for two to
three weeks. Each foster homeis supplied with a crate, aleash, a collar, food, medicine ifneeded, and a handbook to assistwith the temporary stay. Thedirectors then review adoptionapplications and assess the dog'spersonality to find an adequatematch,
So far, the greatest survivalstories the women have experi-enced are their own. Scully'sdogs, Cody and Penney, werelaboratory research dogs whohave completely come out oftheir shell.
"[Cody] did not know whatgrass was, he didn't know whatsteps were, he had never seenthe outside, he didn't knowwhat cars were, he had no clueof the basic commands. Justnothing. He was like a piece ofclay waiting to be molded," shesaid. "Now he goes out the dog-gie-door like a champ, he ishouse trained, he is everyone'sfavorite who comes to thehouse. ... He has learned to sitand he has learned to be withpeople."
Sterner's beagle, Sam,' wasalso rescued from a facility, buthis sleep disorder was not diag-nosed properly, and when hesnapped at a family memberduring the night, he was sup-posed to be destroyed.
Instead, Sterner offered toadopt him and noticed that hisjumping on his feet, snapping,running under the bed and cry-ing was a subconscious problem,and he is currently part of astudy for a book to be published.
"He is probably one of thebest rescue stories because thereis hope for him," Scully said.
Since the appeal of beaglesis their great temperament andsmall size, but their detrimentis their overabundance, fosterhomes are needed as soon aspossible.
For more information aboutfostering or adopting a beagle,visit www.CascadeRescue.org/east.html or call (973) 863-7220.
"We can only take in asmany dogs as we have fosterhomes," Scully said. i

Casey chosen newschool board president
BY JENNIFER AMATOStaff Writer
NORTH BRUNSWICK - The Boardof Education stepped in a new directionon Tuesday, electing Anne Casey aspresident and Claire Padovano as vicepresident for the 2006-07 school year.
"We have a budget to get approved sothat the public will be accepting of it,and that will be a big responsibilityright now," Casey said.
The two-year board member isreplacing Gail DiPane, who served onthe board for 12 years, three of whichwere as president.
"Words cannot express the gratitudethis district has for all of the work youhave done over the last 12 years," act-ing Superintendent Geri Margin said toDiPane. "You were constantly with thechildren in mind with all of the deci-sions you made and all that you'vedone."
Although DiPane and fellow incum-bent Bruce Kenney ran for re-electionto another three-year term this year,newcomers Neil Malvone and GreggRubenstein were elected to the board.
"They say you know your life is goodwhen you know you've made a differ-ence in the life of a child. I feel that inthe last 12 years in the district, this istrue. I feel I have made a difference inthe lives of our children," DiPane said.
She wished the new board memberswell, and said she hopes the district will
continue to maintain its Blue Ribbonstatus and that the teachers, faculty,support staff and board members willcontinue to support "bright studentswith bright futures."
"The first thing I was taught is thatwe're not here to run the district butwe're here to see that policies areadhered to for the district," she said."The children should always comefirst."
Although Kenney was not present atthe meeting, Margin also thanked himfor his dedication to and focus on thewell-being of the children.
Padovano, who will focus on tying uploose ends from her first term beforebeginning to work on the budget, saidshe is "very pleased that my colleagueshave confidence in me." She is assum-ing the position that was held byConnie Corbin, who served as vice pres-ident for the past year.
"I just feel that any accomplish-ments [by the board], I can't take creditfor, because the accomplishments are ofthe whole board, and not one person cantake credit for it," Corbin said. "We dohave a very difficult year ahead of us,but I think we can all work together forthe common goal for the district and forour children."
The next Board of Education confer-ence meeting will be held May 16 at 8p.m., and the regular meeting will beheld May 18 at 8 p.m., both at the boardoffice on Old Georges Road.

JEFF QRANIT staffDespite heavy pressure from a Remington defender, North Brunswick's ChrisAllen attacks the goal during a lacrosse game at the Workhouse Fields In NorthBrunswick on Friday.
Lacrosse still growing(Continued from page 1)
Nearly all of the players on the NorthBrunswick Township High School teamhave participated in the township leaguewith various players being named countychamps, all-state honorable mention andbeing scouted by Division 1 collegeteams.
"Our players go on to play at St. Joe's[High School], Rutgers Prep and SouthBrunswick IHigh School]," Curran said."We're creating lacrosse players who aregoing on to have successful lacrossecareers. ... We are expanding the sportand creating a love of the game."
The rec league currently consists of afifth/sixth-grade team coached by ScottBuzney and a sixth/seventh/eighth-gradeteam coached by Henri Renard. Curran'sgoal is to form teams at every grade leveland offer clinics for players as young asprekindergarten.
"We try to attract kids earlier and ear-lier. Even if they didn't start early theycan play the game. ... If they are athleticthey can start later and still be good."
Although the program was availableto female players, Curran believes it fold-ed because a team started at LinwoodMiddle School. However, he said hewould love to start the program again atthe youth level.
For many, though, the appeal oflacrosse is how easy it is to learn the
sport. During the first two weeks, playerslearn to scoop and cradle the ball and canthen practice their skills with a wall orhackstop.
"We see kids improve very quicklybecause they can practice their skills athome," he said.
As a result, even though most chil-dren come into the program not under-standing the sport or having a "zero" skilllevel, by the end of the season their abil-ities have improved dramatically.
"We've seen miraculous changes inkids. The first day they show up anddon't know anything, and by the end ofthe season they become major contribu-tors to the team," he said.
Yet the lessons learned in lacrossereach far beyond the playing field.
"I think all team sports teach life les-sons: perseverance, intuitiveness, win-ning with grace and dignity, losing withgrace and dignity. This is all true oflacrosse," he said.
The league accepts players of any age,athletic background and experience levelduring any point in the season. Any play-ers or volunteers interested in participat-ing should visit the DPRCS at 710Hermann Road or can call (732) 247-0922ext. 475.
"It's all about the game. It's all aboutlacrosse. It's all about having fun, play-ing and learning the game," Curran said.

S«B« schoolboard tapsAbschutzas president
BY CHRIS GAETANOStaff Writer
SOUTH BRUNSWICK - The Boardof Education unanimously chose formerVice President Martin Abschutz as itsnew president at Monday's reorganiza-tion meeting.
Board member Robert Long, whoretained his seat during last week's elec-tion with the most votes, was unani-mously chosen by the board to serve asvice president.
It was also the first board meeting fornewcomers Deborah Taylor and StephenParker, as well as the first meeting backfor Barry Nathanson, after a periodaway from the board.
Abschutz has served on the boardsince 2002, but before that he was activeon several committees and was a con-sultant for the board as well. He is a cer-tified public accountant in the healthcare field.
Much discussion was focused on wel-coming the new board members as wellas expressing fond farewells for exitingboard members Bryan Laurita, JohnWolf and Daniel Watts.
"I want to make note of the fact thatwe have some pretty large shoes to fill, inDr. Watts and John Wolf and BryanLaurita," said Nathanson. "Combined,they have some 40 years of boardman-ship, and we'll work hard toward fillingtheir shoes in the next year or so."
The meeting itself was quiet, and forthose who were serving on the board forthe first time, they felt it helped themease into their roles more easily. Still,with both Taylor and Parker havingexperience either observing or workingwith the board in the past, the transitionwas not difficult, they both said.
"It was a pretty quiet meeting and Ienjoyed it, and I'm looking forward tomany more to come," said Parker.
"I would watch these things on televi-sion all the time, so I kind of knew whatto expect," Taylor said.

Part of the DOT'S ProposedTransportation Capital Program forFiscal Year 2007 are the proposed stud-ies of the Six Mile Run bridge on Route27; Route 27 through Veronica Avenue,How Lane and Bennetts Lane; thewidening of Route 1; and a bridge on
"The Route 1projects willcontinue to
improveRoute 1 traffic
conditionsall the way
through NorthBrunswick."

and my fellow council members and Iare pleased to see the commitment tobegin studies, design and constructionon some of our busiest highways andstate roads," said Councilman andPlanning Board liaison Ralph Andrews.
The program is the product of exten-sive, ongoing participation by thestate's three metropolitan planningorganizations and a wide variety ofstakeholders, according to the DOTWeb site. The $3.2 billion capital pro-gram pursues the goals set out in thecapital investment strategy and imple-ments the DOT's "Smart Growth" and"Fix-It-First" policies in order to stimu-late the state's economy.
The Six Mile Run Bridge project willevaluate its replacement along thesame alignment. The existing structureconsists of two 11-foot travel lanes withshoulders of varying width. The pro-posed new structure will consist of two12-foot travel lanes and 10-foot shoul-ders with sidewalks on the westernside, according to the Web site. Thebridge preservation, rehabilitation andreplacement project will affect bothNorth Brunswick and Franklin town-ships and cost an estimated $4.6 mil-lion.
The Renaissance 2000 project,which includes Bennetts Lane, HowLane and Veronica Avenue along Route27, will be studied to evaluate what canaid congestion relief and highway oper-ation improvements. The proposal sug-gests three lanes of travel on Route 27with a single travel lane in each direc-tion and a center, two-way left-turnlane. Between Bennetts, Veronica andHow, one northbound lane and twosouthbound lanes are expected, withadditional lanes to be considereddepending on traffic demands.
"The Route 27 design phase forimprovements at and through the
Veronica Avenue and How Lane inter-section, including Bennett's Lane,could not come at a better time,"Andrews said. "This is key because ofthe new development that is proposedthere."
He also mentioned the cooperationof the mayor, the council and DOT tofinalize the concept for the Route 27improvements early last year.
"We still need to work in coopera-tion with our county and state repre-sentatives for improvements to oureast-west connections, but we shouldbe thankful to them for helping getthese projects funded when trans-portation fund dollars are tight," he
said.In another study, Route 1 will be
analyzed to contemplate widening thehighway throughout Plamsboro, SouthBrunswick and North Brunswick frommileposts 12.8 to 21.5. A SmartGrowth study is proposed with a con-cept development study identifyingfuture needs of the Middlesex Countycorridor to aid with traffic congestion.
Also on Route 1, the bridge north ofRyders Lane but south of Milltownalong North Brunswick mileposts25.60 to 25.80, is sought to be replacedas part of a $27.33 million proposedplan. Suggested is a total replacementof the deficient bridge with a roadway
profile to improve the ramp, reducingbridge spans from five to one and for-mulating four traffic signals along theparallel service roads, according toDOT. The rail line under the bridge isexpected to be eliminated, and theroad will be made compatible withbicycle and pedestrian traffic through-out this project as well as alongCollege Farm Road and Access Road.
"The Route 1 projects will continueto improve Route 1 traffic conditionsall the way through North BrunswickTownship," Andrews said.
The design studies are scheduled tobegin on July 1. For more information,visit www.state.nj.us/transportation.

Good, clean fun in S,B-Volunteers conclude
month-long cleanup effortat Earth Day celebration
BY CHIUS GAETANOStaff Writer
SOUTH BRUNSWICK - Outside,there were ominous dark clouds andthick drops of rain. Inside, there was fes-tive music, hot dogs and participants inSouth Brunswick's 16th annual EarthDay cleanup.
On Sunday, the senior center hosted
the Earth Day cleanup celebration forthose who volunteered to help pick up lit-ter in their communities. The event wasthe culmination of a month-long effort byvolunteers to clean their hometown. Inthe 16 years that the township has donethis, it was the first time the celebrationhad to be moved indoors due to weather.
This year's cleanup, which began atthe beginning of the month, drew 554volunteers. While some groups' cleanupefforts were rained out this weekend,according to Nancy Paquetle, the town-ship's recycling coordinator, about 250
(Continued nn next page)
"Wtfd give ijMi tomtom ta Udk t&>..and demdhutg, ta taM ahui/
(Continued from previous page)bags of garbage had been collected as ofMonday. The number of volunteers signingup is about the same as last year's number,which was down a little from the yearbefore.
Residents participating in the cleanupcontacted the township and explained howmany people were going to help, as well asthe area they were going to clean. Bags andgloves were then provided.
Individual families, civic and religiousgroups, neighborhood organizations andmore all participated in the Earth Daycleanup. Of the 62 groups total that signedup, about half were affiliated with formalorganizations, with the rest being individu-als, families or neighbors.
"Our motivation was, I think, to keepwhere we clean up clean," said JoeSacurato. "And it's kind of terrible thatthey have the Burger King and McDonald'sand they just throw all the garbage there,and it's terrible that kids don't care. Youalso find a lot of soda bottles and beer bot-tles."
Sacurato has been participating in theEarth Day cleanup since its inception,working first with the local WW chapterand then with the local American Legionchapter, which collected nearly 20 bags ofgarbage along the Major Road area.
According to residents, other itemsfound thrown on the street include cans,coffee cups, plastic and bits of metal.
"It's an area that I've done for the lastsix years, it's in the warehouse region. Thetruck drivers stop there and you find every-thing there," said Harold Hochstadt, whohas participated in the cleanup every yearsince its start, and this year filled up fivebags.
The rain disrupted the cleanup plans ofmany residents who had signed up. Thosewho were unable to complete their cleanupthis week, according to Paquette and oth-ers, will work this week when, hopefully,the sides will be a bit more friendly.
One organization that had trouble withthe rain was the neighborhood organiza-tion PRIDE, which is helping pick up litteralong Raymond Road.
"We're kind of doing it on a more piece-meal basis because of the rain," saidMaddie Stewart, a PRIDE member. "So wehad, for example yesterday, three of us whocleaned up, and there was a man who cameout with his little mini-tractor who gets ridof the dirt that comes onto the sidewalk,and there's going to be another 10 peoplewho will work today and during the week."
Paquette was appreciative of all thegroups that participated and their effortsin improving their community.
"I'm so grateful to all of them. I'm so dis-heartened, driving along the roadside, see-ing litter. It looks so lousy, it reflects badlyOH our community, and lo have a beautifuland clean community makes me reallyhappy," said Paquette.

Maynard's wrestling career took him allthe way to the collegiate level, where heranked among the top 10 players in Georgia,where he attended school.
According to Maynard, it was his stub-born refusal to give up and ignore people who

Maynard, however, makes no secret tha tthese things he has accomplished came nei-ther quickly nor easily. Even from a youngage, he was always aware t h a t what hewanted to do wouldn't be easy, but this factdidn't seem to dissuade him. His athleticcareer began when he was insixth grade and he wanted to t ryout for the football team.
"I decided in sixth grade t h a tI was going to go to the tryouts,and my mother — she's alwaysbeen more of a realist — she toldme, 'Don't be disappointed if youwind up being the waterboy'And I was thinking, no way, I'mgonna be a quarterback, scoringtouchdowns. It's what I wantedto do," said Maynard.
He was placed on the teamnot as a quarterback but as adefensive linebacker, a positionhe excelled a t because of, notdespite, his condition.
"You know, those runningbacks, if you think about it,[they're] looking a t the ball, notstaring a t the floor, for me, as adefensive lineman. He's lookingpast the linebackers and thesafety, so it was a big shockwhen I would ram my opponentright in the shin and take himdown," said Maynard. CHRIS GAETANO

on the wrestling mat: his belief in personalresponsibility as well as his thoughts onadversity.
"Ill never forget my first day of practice,thinking that when you're out therewrestling, you're all alone, and you're the onewho's deciding whether to win or lose, justlike so many of the challenges in life. That'swhy wrestling is so great to relate to the restof life. ... It will teach you that the harderyou push yourself, the better the reward is,"said Maynard.
For Maynard, however, the reward wouldrequire a lot of pushing, more pushing thanmost people would ever tolerate. He lost hisfirst match when he was in sixth grade, aswell as his second, third, fourth, fifth, sixthand so on, until, by the time he was in themiddle of seventh grade, he had lost 35matches in a row.
Losing became a weekly ritual forMaynard. He and his father would wake upevery Saturday at 5:30 a.m., drive to what-ever wrestling tournament was within athree-hour drive, and spend all day losing.They would then go home, wake up early thenext morning, watch the video of him losing,and figure out what went wrong.
"Every move I messed up on, every mis-take that I made, I'd drill in my head, overand over again to the point where ... I was intears," he said.
Maynard was close to giving up, but hisfather kept pushing him, which strainedtheir relationship at one point, but he now isthankful that his father made him followthrough. The efforts paid off in the middle ofhis seventh-grade year, when he won his firstof many matches. Eventually, the refereeshad to stop the match due to an 18-pointmercy rule. This was the beginning of a long,successful athletic career.
Maynard was never content to rest on hislaurels. Each time he advanced, his thoughtswere on what was next. He decided he wouldlike to wrestle on a varsity level and eventu-ally earned a position on a top-ranked team.By this time, he had developed and honedhis own unique wrestling style, with his own,priginal.mpYeA t , , , , a , , , » , , , , „ , , . , . i:.,,
said he wouldn't be able to accomplish whathe wanted that allowed him to succeed in life.
"If you look at my friends, coaches, fami-ly, there were a lot of people during that peri-od who would have told you that they neverwould have thought I would have been ableto win that first match. I was the only onewho knew and believed in my heart that Icould do it," said Maynard.
After Maynard's presentation, Matheneyapproached the stage and announced thatthe high school was going to accomplish agoal that people might think wasn't possibleas well: completing 5,000 hours of communi-ty service by May 15.
"Last fall, at the beginning of the schoolyear, I issued a challenge of raising a sub-stantial amount of money for the victims ofHurricane Katrina Alot of people said we'dnever reach that goal. ... We turned around,we made no excuses, and we blew that goalaway in one week," the principal said.
Toward the end of the presentation,Maynard exhibited some of his famedwrestling moves to the stunned audience.Sophomore Ryan Smith, who had wrestledfor eight years, volunteered to grapple withMaynard. It did not go well.
"He's really sb'ong. You can see, he waspretty much doing whatever he wanted withme," said Smith.
The reaction to Maynard was over-whelmingly positive. People oohed andaahed throughout the speech and enthusias-tically clapped when he laid out Smith on thewrestling mat.
"It helped me think about things younever really thought of, and how any chal-lenge can really be overcome," said MattSengin, a junior.
Others felt that his age being close to hisaudience's gave him an edge in speaking.
"I am a mom of a wrestler, and ... I knowhow tough it is to wrestle when you haveeverything. So to be able to do what he does,and be 20 years old, to come here and relateto these kids at their age level, it's the bestland of motivational speaker for teenagers,"said Kathleen Murphy, a science teacher at

OPINIONKeep up the pressurefor school funding fixM unicipal officials and
school district adminis-trators in many New
Jersey school districts will begetting down to business thisweek as they try to pare downbudgets for the 2006-07 schoolyear that residents rejected inthe April 18 election.
Residents should clearlyunderstand one thing — reject-ing a school budget does notmean your property taxes willstay the same during the 2006-07 school year as they were inthe 2005-06 school year.
What is likely is that aftermunicipal governing bodiesreview the defeated plans, theschool tax increase will not bequite as large as the local schoolboard initially proposed. The dif-ference in some cases will be asavings of a coupLe of dollarsspread over a year.
The two school boards in thearea covered by the Sentinelfared with mixed results onElection Day, as voters in SouthBrunswick approved their budg-et, while North Brunswickrejected theirs and sent it forreview by the Township Council.In North Brunswick's case, thedefeat was so resounding — over75 percent of voters said no —
that to say there was a mandatefor cuts would be a blatantunderstatement.
If there is any good news com-ing out of the school elections itis this: the message finallyseems to be getting through tomany state Assembly andSenate members that propertytaxes being driven by a failedschool funding system are crush-ing New Jersey's residents.
We are certain that our localstate representatives under-stand this message and webelieve that Gov. Jon S. Corzineis starting to hear the howlingfrom suburban taxpayers.
Comments the governor hasmade in recent weeks lead us tobegin to reassess our recent edito-rial position that the governor didnot fully understand the severityof the school funding issue.Corzine's recent comments are agood sign, but action must follow.
There are, however, some keypolitical figures in Trenton who,we believe, are not sympatheticto suburban constituencies. Inthe coming months those electedofficials who would try to put upa blockade to school fundingreform must be convinced of theseverity of the problem and theneed for quick action.

Town a better place to live due to Gruber
At the February board ofdirectors meeting, theboard elected Anthony
Campisano as president. Mr.Campisano represents a continu-ation of the quality leadership atthe YMCA.
For the past eight years,Andre W. Gruber has led the Y.Under his leadership, the SouthBrunswick Family YMCA movedfrom a non-facility Y working outof the Monmouth JunctionRescue Squad's small buildingoffice to a 32,000-square-footfacility.
Mr. Gruber oversaw the reno-vations and fundraising neces-sary to make the dream a reality.He spent countless hours reach-ing out to businesses, banks andiocal officials to ensure the short-
and long-term financial viabilityof the Y. The upgrades and reno-vations planned for this year andthe plans to add a full-size indoorpool are a direct result of Mr.Gmber's vision, planning andactions.
The Y staff, board and com-munity clearly have benefitedfrom Mr. Gruber's long tenure aspresident through his dedicationand perseverance. Mr. Gruberwill be missed and we wish himwell. So the next time you seeAndre Gruber, please tell himthanks. South Brunswick is abetter place to live because of hisefforts.

For the Record
In the April 20 story, "Din er patrons differ on new state smoking ban,"it was incorrectly stated that "social organizations like the AmericanLegion that rely on volunteers to provide services" are exempt from therules of the Smoke-Free Air Act, which went into effect April 15. Thatwas based on an earliei* version of the act, which had been changed justprior to being voted on earlier this year.
S.B. Senior Center offers a broad spectrum of services
Many older adults feelthey are too young touse a senior center
and have the perception cen-ters are a place for "old peo-ple" to play bingo and cardsand sit all day. You will findquite the opposite at theSouth Brunswick Senior Cen-ter. Older adults attend dis-cussion groups, feng shui,museum trips, Pilates, tai chi,computer training, art class-es, educational seminars, andschool events, and are activevolunteers in the community.
I am writing to invite thepublic to the South BrunswickSenior Center this month inhopes to increase awarenessto the broad spectrum of pro-grams and services we offerolder adults age 55 plus andbreak through these stereo-types. On May 6 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m., we will host a publicopen house with tours, classdemos, a flea market coordi-nated by our Friends organi-
zation, an art show, file of life,and health information fromthe South Brunswick HealthDepartment and so muchmore. Inquire for yourself, afamily member, friend orreach out to a neighbor. May14-20 is National SeniorCenter Week. This year'stheme is "Senior Centers —Our Community Investment."At the May 9 TownshipCouncil meeting, a resolutionwill be made honoring thisoccasion.
Older adults today areredefining the word "aging"and have come a long waysince the first senior centeropened more than 60 yearsago. We will have many spe-cial events throughout themonth and we welcome every-one to stop by, attend a pro-gram, take a tour, and becomeacquainted with the friendlystaff and the vast array ofservices the center offers.
We continually strive to
meet the changing needs ofthis new generation of olderadults and to ensure optimalquality of life through physi-cal, educational and emotionalwell-being with active partici-pation in community life. Wehave something for everyone!
Our township is fortunateto have a beautiful facilityfilled with at least 175 activeparticipants daily, a dedicatedstaff, volunteers and the gen-erous support of our mayor,manager and TownshipCouncil, especially our liaisonCarol Barrett.
I hope you take this oppor-tunity to discover firsthandwhat our center and its mem-bers have to offer. Please call(732) 329-4000, ext. 7670 forhours and event information,and I look forward to meetingyou soon.

Maybe No. Brunswick school board can eliminate pork
C ongrats to the new school board.Let's hope they do more to elimi-nate the "pork" that has more to do
with the administration and ditto thanas some member that was not electedyesterday — "it's about the kids thatcount." Where have I heard that before?
It's never about the kids, it's the abovethat counts in 20 percent of the budgetthat is strangling the huge amount ofproperty taxes homeowners have to
endure.Let's hope Gov, Jon Corzine can help
to bring sanity to the New Jersey crisis ofproperty taxes and maybe both the NorthBrunswick School Board and our gover-nor can reduce taxes by 40 percent and acap on future budgets.

Internship grad advocates for mayor's program
I would like to take this opportunity toconfirm the comments made byShilpn Patel in his recent letter
("Internship program should be revived,"March 23). The Mayor's SummerInternship Program started by ourMayor Debra Johnson was a great learn-ing experience that through the years Ihave built on.
I have recently returned from a tourof duty in Iraq. I am proud to be a U.S.Marine. I am fortunate to be a part of aloving and supportive family, the productof the South Brunswick school system,and fortunate enough to have grown upin South Brunswick. All of these experi-ences and many more have contributedto my success. One of the positive experi-ences that made a favorable impressionon me was the mayor's summer intern-
ship program.The program began with a serious in-
terview process. Then we were partneredwith other interns we did not know andmay not have naturally been friends within school. We were given specific munici-pal government tasks and attended com-munity functions. It was truly beneficial.Also, Mayor Johnson spent much of herown personal time with us, and was a fairand accessible supervisor. Discipline,honor and duty are not just words to mebut a way of life, and essential elements ofthe mayor's summer internship program.I am sorry it no longer exists in its originalform, and I join Shilpn in advocating for it.

is a memo from all the principals in theSouth Brunswick School system regard-ing the national Take Our Daughters andSons to Work Day program. This one dayout of the year allows children to experi-ence a day in the life of their parent,which is held every year on the lastThursday in April.
Instead of merely letting this day goby like any other day in the year and pro-viding excused absences for children whoparticipate, these educators make the fol-lowing statement in their memo: "Whileyou may choose to take your child towork on April 27, we encourage you, ifpossible, to consider providing this expe-rience for your child in the summer whenthere will be no loss of school time and noimpact on teaching and learning."
Why are these principals so concernedabout the "impact on teaching and learn-ing" for one day when their students getto spend quality time with their parent,observing their parents in the real worldand getting an understanding andrespect for why mom or dad work late,occasionally come home in an off mood,and appreciate the things they have, like
a roof over their heads, electricity to readand study by or watch television? Theylearn the possessions they have are noteasily come by and mom and/or dad real-ly do sweat and earn their money thatbuys those precious possessions.
Instead, these principals allow theirstaffs to attend a convention in Novem-ber for two days, hold staff developmentdays for a full two days and three half-days, and three half-days for school plan-ning — one of which was held the thirdweek of the school year. Don't these dayshave an "impact on teaching and learn-ing?" They definitely have an impact onmy work schedule.
Why aren't these days planned duringthe summer so as not to have an "impacton teaching and learning" instead of ask-ing us to recognize a national program ona date other than which it is designated?At least the Take Our Daughters andSons to Work Day program doesn't affectmy work schedule. And by the way, prin-cipals, this is a real nice "thank you" tothe parents who voted for the schoolbudget and agreed to increase our taxes.You're welcome.

Big brothers specializein diabolical pranksI stopped at the pharmacy the day
before Easter, and among the cus-tomers waiting at the register was a
mom and three kids — a couple of boysmaybe 8 and 9, and a girl, 2 or 3.
The boys had the look of mischief intheir eyes, but their little sister wasinterested in candy. And like most kidswaiting at checkout counters with theirmoms, she was pestering hers for sweets.The mom finally put her foot down. "Youdon't need candy today," she said. "TheEaster Bunny will bring you plenty ofcandy tomorrow."
At which point, the little girl balled upher fists and wailed, "I DON'T WANTTHE BEASTEE BUNNY!"
Bemused, the mom took the little girlin her arms. "It's not the Beaster Bunny,sweetheart. It's the Easter Bunny."
"No, it isn't!" the little girl cried."Robbie says it's the Beaster Bunny, andit will EAT ME!"
Robbie, meanwhile, jammed his handsinto his pockets and looked guilty.
"Outside," said the mom to Robbie."You, too," she said to the other brother,who punched Robbie's shoulder before heleft.
"Way to go, jerkwad," he said toRobbie. "Now we won't get any candy,either."
• • •I related that story while our family
was enjoying Easter dinner as a sort ofparable on the unnecessary torture olderbrothers often perpetrate on theiryounger siblings, but it didn't get thereaction I anticipated from my threesons.
Instead of evoking pity for the littlegirl, they thought the whole situationwas hysterical. And then the older onesstarted telling stories about the torturethey'd inflicted on their younger brotherswhen they were growing up, and eachstory was worse than the last.
I don't know what their mom and Ithought they were doing in the hoursbetween the time they got out of school inthe afternoon and the time we got homefrom work, but it apparently wasn't col-lecting canned goods for the homeless.The whirl of stories was the stuff of everyparent's nightmare:
• Nerf arrows soaked in alcohol, light-ed and shot from the upstairs windows ata brother running around the yard.
• Entire legions of action figures dis-membered by various power tools andweapons. "He beheaded my whole GI Joecollection," the youngest remembered ofone of his elder brothers.
• "He duct-taped me to a chair, put meand the chair in the shower and turnedthe cold water on," he remembered ofanother.
• "He (one of his older brothers) lockedme and the dog in the upstairs bedroom,and the only way we could escape was tocrawl out the window onto the roof andjump," one brother recalled fondly.
At some point (they were discussingchemical explosions, as seen on TVs"MacGyver") I stopped listening and for-got the fatherly lecture they all expectedconcerning brotherly love and howthankful they should be for having sur-vived to adulthood. Suddenly, I wasremembering my own childhood as theeldest brother, and the mayhem I in-flicted on my little brothers:
• Giving them a big wad of chewingtobacco, telling them it was big-boy gumand to "make sure to swallow the juice."
.GREG BEAN
Coda
• Forcing one of my younger brothersto swim back and forth, underwater, inthe small swimming pool my father puttogether in our driveway, while myfriends and I — standing on chairshijacked from the kitchen — ringed thepool and shot him with toy, suction-cuparrows. That night, all the red welts onhis back and legs made him look like he'dbeen attacked by a giant squid.
"What happened to you?" my motherasked when she got home from work.
"Greg and his friends taught me howto play Shark Hunt," he told her happily."I was the shark."
• Telling one of my younger brothers adirty joke with a disgusting punch line hedid not understand, with the caveat "Youhave to make sure you tell that jokeSunday when Grandma and Grandpacome to dinner." He told it, and it was ashowstopper. Grandma was so shockedshe spit out a whole mouthful of broccoli.My mother was horrified, my fatherembarrassed. Grandpa turned red andswore. And even after my little brothergot sent to his room without dessert, Ididn't confess responsibility for thecrime.
• Convincing a younger brother totake off all his clothes and "surprise" thegrownups who were playing bridge in theliving room.
• Convincing another little brotherthat he and another brother could savethe money my father had given them forhaircuts by borrowing my mother's pink-ing shears and cutting their own hair.
• Convincing them that India ink,rubbed generously on the face, hands andother exposed body parts, was the perfectcamouflage for a night-time game ofManhunt. "It'll wash right off," I assuredthem.
In years to come, I soared to evengreater heights of diabolical whimsy. I'dshare some of them, but I don't want togive younger readers any more ideas.
• • •The next day, however, consumed with
retroactive guilt, I called one of myyounger brothers to apologize.
"What do you have to apologize for?"he asked. "You were only doing what bigbrothers do, toughening us up for the realworld. I ought to thank you."
"You don't hold any grudges?" I asked."Of course not," he said. "All those
things you did to me? I turned rightaround and did them to my youngerbrother. You remember that time I hadhim and his friends mix three boxes ofbaking soda and a quart of vinegar in abig circus balloon? Man, I can still seetheir faces."
"Mom blamed me for that," I told him."It ruined the wallpaper."
"I know," he said. "That was the bestpart of the whole thing. What goesaround comes around, bro. It's the circleof life."
And so it is. Someday, if my littlebrother's theory is correct, Robbie willpay dearly for that Beaster Bunny stunt.I wish I could be around to see it.

Algae{Continued {mm page 1)
After flushing out. the system,Grootenboer reported that there was anobjectionable taste and odor to the waterand samples were sent to a laboratory inShort Hills.
He said that the algae is harmlessand that it can be removed through con-ventional treatments. American Water isseeking to increase coagulation dosage,increase chlorination, monitor raw waterand continue sampling of treated water.The recommended treatments includesolids removal, filtration, chlorinationand carbon adsorption.
Although questions were raised inregards to carbon being used,Grootenboer assured the council that theactivated carbon attracts the compositesand both substances are removed duringsolids removal and filtration, leaving notraces of algae nor carbon in the finishedwater supply.
"This won't lead to any health prob-lems," the project manager said.
Thus far, routine chloroform samplesfrom homes and hydrants have showedthat the bacteria levels are in accordancewith state regulatory guidelines. A tem-porary carbon feed set-up was installedon Monday and a Norit Americas Inc.Port-a-Pack carbon feeder was expected
NS
to be installed yesterday. Experts arehopeful that conditions will change intwo days or so.
"At very high levels, very high levels,for example pea green water, if it's notadequately treated it can be harmful. Butthere is no problem now," water consult-ant Frank Mangravite of Public WorksManagement Inc. said, adding that he isunaware of any New Jersey cases of algatoxins.
"There is no danger or risk to the pub-lic," township Business AdministratorRobert Lombard said.
However, resident Debbie DeHavenraised concerns about the water afterconducting her own experiment. Sheboiled chicken in tap water and bottledwater and said her animals would not eatthe township water-laden food. She alsobelieves that due to the added expensesof purchasing bottled water she shouldbe compensated because she is still pay-ing her municipal tax bill.
"I am paying you a water bill that isastronomical, about $300 to $600 perquarter ... and now I'm paying you forwater I can't use at this point, and I haveto go out and buy water for my family touse as long as this will last," she said.
However, Mangravite believes that isunnecessary since a temporary solutionis in place and residents should noticeclearer water within a few days.

Upgrading water plantdeemed the best option
SENTINEL, April 27, 2006 1 7
N.B. consideredbuying water supply
from new sources
BY JENNIFER A1WATOStaff Writer
NORTH BRUNSWICK - A study ofthe township's water supply has deter-mined that rehabilitating the existingwater treatment plant will be more costeffective than purchasing water fromsurrounding towns.
After nine months of analysis, waterengineering firm CH2MH1U and town-ship engineer CME Associates present-ed five different options based on waterdemand, cost, advantages and disad-vantages and affordability to theTownship Council on Monday. Theycompared purchasing water fromAmerican Water, MiddlesexWater, the city of NewBrunswick, or a combi-nation of NewBrunswick andAmerican Water', andcompared theseoptions to repairing thecurrent facility locatedon the corner of Suydamand Canal roads in FranklinTownship.
"The heart of the watertreatment plant is the filters," PaulMalmrose of CH2MHU1 said. "Once weget that in shape we should be good fora really long time."
The North Brunswick plant wasbuilt in the 1960s and upgraded in the1980s and 1990s after suffering from afire in 1989. Currently, 6 million gal-lons per day are produced, but due toage and permit requirements, theequipment has exceeded its useful life,according to Malmrose. The gravity fil-ters implemented in the 1960s and thepressure filters constructed in the1990s present the most concerns abouttechnical and functional obsolescence,according to Business AdministratorRobert Lombard.
From a technical point of view,although the pipelines of AmericanWater in Franklin and Middlesex Waterin Edison could potentially reach NorthBrunswick, the project could be longand costly and New Brunswick's north-ern lines would have to be increased indiameter to support the township.
From a financial point of view, theestimated costs over a 30-year periodwould be higher to accommodate theseoptions rather than upgrading thetownship's own water-treatment facili-ty. Focused around water purchase, dis-tribution system, operations and man-agement, new treatment plant debtservice, MCIA debt and yearly removaland replacement costs, it was deter-mined the township's best interest liesin remaining in-house.
"I think with [CME consultant]Tim's [Gillen] cost it looks pretty obvi-ous what we would select," Malmrosesaid, in regards to an average cost of$8.41 million over a 30-year period for atownship facility compared to pricesranging from $12.41 million to $13.63
million for utilizing outside sources.Gillen said that North Brunswick's
population is expected to eclipse 40,000residents by 2012, which is a projected5 percent increase in each five-yearperiod. He expects the future waterproduction requirement to be 8 milliongallons per day with peak times seeing10 million gallons per day. Since hebelieves there will be a relatively sta-ble, small projection for growth, anyfuture industries relocating to the townshould not affect the water supply.
Malmrose also mentioned theadvantages of the township's ability tocontrol its own rates and the significantsavings due to minimal operating andmanagement costs as well as a mini-mized capital cost. However, he sug-gested that repairing the plant in twophases would be more of an optimalcost-effective solution.
"Our initial evaluation indi-cates that this goal is
achievable. We can main-tain rates of 3 percentand provide a goodquality of drinkingwater," he said.
If the council acceptsthe recommendation, the
next steps would be to work
project costs to repair andreplace only the essential components,pursue funding for the first phase anddefine water treatment objectives andpriorities for the $26 million project,according to Malmrose.
"I think the simple conclusion is tosay this does work," Lombard said.
In October 2002, the townshipentered into a 20-year agreement withAmerican Water Services to manage itstreatment plant, including systemmaintenance, bill collecting and ensur-ing the production of safe drinkingwater. The township owns the treat-ment plant and pays for all capitalimprovements.

Rural Metro ambulanceservice leaving the stateNo. Brunswick EMTs say
emergency service willnot be affected by change
BY JENNIFER AMATOStaff Writer
NORTH BRUNSWICK - The town-ship's First Aid and Rescue Squad(NBRARS) does not believe it will beaffected by Rural Metro's decision tophase out its ambulance service in NewJersey by April 30.
The company and the rescue squadhad a renewable and revisable contractinstituted since 2000, in which the twohad a "sound and professional" relation-ship, according to squad President LindaWarhaftig. The township does not ownits own ambulance because of cost inef-fectiveness, so Rural Metro would guar-antee one ambulance to the township,and also had a second float truck avail-able to the township and other surround-ing towns.
"Honestly, our daytime hours will notbe threatened by Rural Metro exitingNew Jersey. When we heard about theirleaving our biggest concern was not,'What are we going to do for an ambu-lance?' but 'What are all those poor peo-ple going to do now that they are unem-ployed?' We have worked with these peo-ple for over six years and have come toknow and respect them as fellow [emer-gency medical technicians]. But unlikethe volunteer who has other incomeavenues, the Rural Metro people werecareer EMTs," she said.
During Rural Metro's involvementwith North Brunswick, if a rescue squadmember were on the scene, Rural Metrostaff would be dispatched under theNBRARS paging system and operateunder their command. The licensedRural Metro EMTs would operate underthe rescue squad and the regulations ofthe Department of Health Office ofEmergency Medical Services.
"We had an ongoing contract for serv-ice with them. It was the NBRARS wayof guaranteeing our residents at leastone ambulance during the day and [our]volunteers staffed a second one,"Warhaftig said.
Since the rescue squad is currentlyworking on an agreement with theUniversity of Medicine and Dentistry ofNew Jersey-Robert Wood JohnsonUniversity Hospital to have their basiclife support ambulance cover the town,and because advanced life supportalready is a service provided by UMDNJ-RWJ, Warhaftig believes the decision ofRural Metro to exit New Jersey will notbe detrimental to North Brunswick resi-dents.

The Death, Retirement, Widows andOrphans Fund will present the 12th annual"Cops and Rodders" car show April 30 from9 a.m.-3 p.m. at DeVry University, Route 1,North Brunswick (rain date May 7).

For more informa-tion, call (732) 247-0922, ext. 333 or 681, ore-mail [email protected].
"The patient shouldn't notice anychange," she said. "I am very surprised[that] when a patient asks me for theirambulance report and I ask them if theywere in our truck or Rural Metro's, theyhave no clue. Many people won't evenknow from where the ambulance pickingthem up came from. And in an emer-gency, the patient shouldn't care, just aslong as one gets there in a reasonableamount of time based on the patient'scondition."
The decision by Rural Metro to leavethe state was related to business mat-ters, according to reports onEMSResponder.com.

"A lot can change in 3,000 years.We've gone from camel backs to Cadillacsand have entered a world of fast-pacedtechnological advances. We've gone froma Jewish world marked by prophets andpilgrimages to a world of cyber-studiesand cyber-buddies," Rabbi Levi Azimovsaid.

Students will find answers toquestions of faith that have plaguedthem since Hebrew school," Azimov saidof the program, presented by the JewishLearning Institute.

A step closer to a cureOver 100 participatein annual MS Walk
through No. BrunswickBY .JENNIFER AMATO
Staff Writer
NORTH BRUNSWICK - The fickleweather didn't dampen the spirits of theparticipants who came out to support theNational Multiple Sclerosis Society at theMS Walk on Sunday,
Despite the cold and the rain, over 100people walked 4.5 miles from BabbagePark, around town, and back again whilebeing treated to breakfast, lunch andsnacks in between.
"I wanted to help my uncle get betterand feel better and all of the people whohave MS," 10-year-old Kari Peterson said.
She accompanied her mother, MaryGavin, of Berwin, Pa., in collecting over$200 tor the cause in support of Gavin'sbrother, who has the disease.
"It was sort of a shock when he got thediagnosis when he was young," she said."This is his day and I feel we can come outand teach [Karil about supporting thecause and help Uncle Dan."
Multiple sclerosis affects 2.5 millionpeople worldwide, with 400,000 of thosepeople living in the United States alone.Every week about 200 people are diag-nosed with the chronic neurological dis-ease that affects the central nervous sys-tem, according to the National MultipleSclerosis Society.
Jackie Jackson is one of those 400,000people. She has become the ambassador ofthe walk in North Brunswick and partici-pates with the ribbon cutting before therace and the medal presentation at theend. Her daughter also has the disease.
"It's absolutely wonderful, it's exciting,just to see people care and come out andhelp and walk for MS," she said. "Wordscannot express it. ... It's just a wonderfulexperience to meet everybody."
Jackson, of Franklin Park, is excitedabout the impact fundraising has everyyear.
"Just knowing there is so much supportfor [finding] a cure is so wonderful becauseeach year we come closer and closer to acure," she said. "We can heighten aware-ness with things like the MS Walk and thebike tour ... and I'm glad to be a part of it."
Since there is currently no cure for MS
and the exact cause is unknown, it is espe-cially important to contribute in any waypossible. David Pierpaoli, a NorthBrunswick resident whose cousin has thedisease, has done just that, participatingin MS walks for 20 years.
"I do my best each and every year toraise awareness and support for these poorpeople," he said. "We keep making moreadvances each and every year. I just thankGod I am able to do this for my cousin andother people. ... If we realized how fortu-nate we are and how blessed we are, thisworld would he a better place."
Christopher Sweet of South Brunswickalso knows people affected by the disease.Although this was his first year walking,he enjoyed the torn- of his neighboringtown.
"It's nice. I think it's better than walk-ing around in circles in the park becauseyou can see people in the neighborhood."
A former fraternity member, he hasassisted with fundraising and volunteer-ing for organizations such as the AmericanCancer Society and the American HeartAssociation, but enjoyed being active inthe walk itself this year.
"Usually we're cheering people on butnow I'm on the other side of the fence. It'snice fundraising outside of the group anddoing something yourself," he said.
Although the complete fundraisingefforts will not be known until mid-June,North Brunswick's walk raised $35,000 in2005, and organizers hope it raised$40,000 this year.
"It makes me feel happy because thepeople won't get sick again. ... That's whatI hope," said 6-year-old Jason Hennelly ofMonroe. "And I really wanted the medal."
Volunteers from the township'sDepartment of Parks, Recreation &Community Services, the PoliceDepartment and the First Aid and RescueSquad were on hand throughout the walk.
Sponsors included Chartwells SchoolDining Services, Dunkin' Donuts onMilltown Road, Dunkin' Donuts on Route130, Dunkin' Donuts/Baskin Robbins onRoute 1, ShopRite on Route 130, Dunkin'Donuts at ShopRite on Route 130, RealTea Beverages and Maples Deli, MyFavorite Muffin, Bagel Boys, Berlex Labs,News 12, Foodtown, Commerce Bank andMountain Spring Water of America.

NJB* 'geek' to appear on the 'Today' showBY .JENNIFER AMATO
Staff Writer
NORTH BRUNSWICK - A segmentof the "Today" show this week will provethat geeks aren't solely concerned withstudying encyclopedias, coordinatingsuspenders to their bow ties, and play-ing chess.
As part of a recent Harris Poll aboutwhat people find attractive in a partner,NBC's morning talk show will presentvarious women to self-proclaimed"geeks" and ask them to rate the attrac-tiveness of the women's clothing styles.The women will also have a turn at rat-ing the men's attire.
Jack Jackson, a North Brunswick
resident who owns the local Geeks onCall computer repair business andappeared on "Who Wants to Be aMillionaire," will be featured on theprogram, which compares businesswear, a dress, and jeans and a T-shirton their female counterparts.
"I liked the dress. It wasn't really a'barely there' dress, it was more like ablouse and a skirt," he said. "But theykept telling us, look at the outfits, notat the girls," who, he said, were veryattractive.
Jackson was contacted by the com-munications director for Geeks on Call,saying his "Millionaire" experience andproximity to New York City aided in his
selection. The crew came to NorthBrunswick and filmed him and twoother Geeks on Call employees in theirPT Cruisers while three women steppedout of a limousine.
"There was no consensus. Each oneof us liked something different," hesaid.
Overall, however, Jackson believesthat an artist, musician or actoraccounts for the sexiest profession.
"Somebody who helps people seethings differently. By that rule, I guessbeing a teacher is sexy," he said.
On the male side, Jackson said thatgeeks have the advantage over theother options of cowboy or lawyer sug-
gested by the poll."Being a cowboy looks like it is hard
on the body, and being a lawyer couldlead to drinking way too much scotch.Geek is good. Just enough physicality,and you read at night, so you tend notto drink too much," he said.
The show is scheduled to air todayfor the women's opinions and tomorrowfor the men's opinions.
In addition, Jackson will be at a fleamarket at Franklin Middle School onSaturday from 8 a.m. until noonanswering technical computer ques-tions. For more information aboutGeeks on Call, call (800) 905-GEEK(905-4335).

Facing the fashion critics at homeA lthough I love being the center of at-
tention, I feel that there is nothingmore nerve-wracking than talking
before a large group.Therefore, when I'm asked to speak to a
crowd, I generally begin preparationsweeks in advance. I start with a lack ofsleep, feelings of impending doom, and asoften as possible, I like to chew my finger-nails down to the nub.
By the time the day of the big eventarrives, my hair is standing on end, myskin is dry, and I stutter when I utter.Simply put, I'm a nervous wreck.
Things were going pretty well as I pre-pared for a speaking engagement just lastweek, at least until I walked into my closet.A woman's closet is never what it's crackedup to be, especially on fat days, warm days,or days when the barometric pressure isn'tjust right. I tried on this and I tried on that.I pulled out capris, opted for skirts, andwhen push came to shove, I went with asimple outfit and convinced myself that Ilooked stylish.
"You look good," I said out loud. "Youlook trendy and you'll do just great." Then Imade a final check in the mirror and real-ized that I looked more dumpy than trendy,and headed back to the closet.
I finally gave up all creativity and wentwith brown. Brown earrings, brown blouse,brown jacket, brown socks, slacks, shoes,and a belt. I knew that I wouldn't be mak-ing any fashion statements, bvrt at least Iwould be coordinated.
I spritzed on some perfume, appliedsome lipstick and decided to stay awayfrom the mirrors. I had anxiety beyondbelief, but at least my clothes made me feelconfident. I said a quick prayer, took a deepbreath and joined my boys in the kitchen.
My boys are a rough-riding group if everthere was one. They're all about energy,dirt, and anything that involves a bucket ofsweat and a game ball. The eldest wassporting baggy pants and a dirty T-shirt.The middle two were dressed for a day onthe driveway and the youngest was wear-ing a winter shirt with a pair of gym shorts.
They all stopped their bickering andeating when I walked into the room. Theroom was silent as they looked me up anddown and took in my ensemble. Who knowthat facing group of adolescent boys couldbe like strolling before a group of fashioncritics?
"What's with the brown?" inquiredHuey, my all-knowing 13-year-old.
"What do you mean, 'What's with thebrown?'" said little Charlie in my defense."I think Mom looks good."
"I don't know, it's just so ... brown,"responded Huey. "And who goes all brownin April?"
You'd have thought the kid had beenchosen to assist Mr. Blackwell with hisWorst Dressed List.

Are We There Yet?
"All brown can be done any time of theyear," said Lawrence as he wiped his handson his shirt. "Especially when making pre-sentations."
"I don't think so," continued Huey as hefilled his mouth with milk and then squirt-ed in chocolate syrup straight from the bot-tle. He then shook his head to mix it andswallowed before he added, "I think that allbrown can be a fashion faux pas when one
overdoes."<rYou don't even lenow what a faux pas
is," said Vemon, my eldest and wise-crack-ing child. Then he turned and looked at me,patted me on the back and added,"Although, I'd recommend you rethink theoutfit."
Four days later, for another speakingengagement, I started looking at my closethours in advance. Again I pulled out shirts,skirts, capris, and finely. I tried on nicedresses, fashionable slacks and eventuallywent with the safe color of black.Remembering the brown fiasco thatoccurred only a few days before, I decided tomake a statement by opting for a bright-colored jacket.
I then took a deep breath and bracedmyself for the walk before my critics.
"Wow!" exclaimed Vernon as I walkedinto the room. "Now that's a pink jacket!"
With that, all of the other boys took theirplace in the judging line. Huey was bounc-ing a basketball, Lawrence was filling hismouth with chips and little Charlie waswiping his nose on his shirt.
"What's wrong with a pink jacket?" saidLawrence. "Don't you know that pink is thenew black?"
"Pink is not the new black," correctedHuey. "Orange is the new pink and brown isthe new black. Don't you know anything?"
I wonder if Mr. Blackwell's mother wentthrough this much grief.

The SentineF: An engagingthriller with a skilled cast
BY ROGER EBERTMovie Critic
M ichael Douglas is a skilled actorwho often works within a narrowrange, as he does in "The
Sentinel." Once again, he's a skilled pro-fessional who finds himself with prob-lems on two fronts: the romantic and thecriminal. Half of his movies, more or less,have involved that formula; the othersshow a wide variety, as in "Wonder Boys,""Traffic," "Falling Down" and "The War ofthe Roses." I might object when I see himwearing the suit and tie and jugglingadultery and danger, but you know what?He's good at it.
In "The Sentinel," he is a SecretService agent named Pete Garrison, whoin 1981 took a bullet during the assassi-nation attempt on Ronald Reagan, and isstill guarding the presi-dent 25 years later. Themovie doesn't identifyPresident Ballentine(David Rasche) asbelonging to eithermajor party, althoughsomehow his wife,Sarah (Kim Basinger),looks to me like aDemocrat. She alsolooks Jike a dish, and ishaving a passionateaffair with, yes, AgentGarrison.
As the movie opens,another agent is shot dead after tellingGarrison he wanted to talk to him. Did heknow something about an assassinationattempt? Garrison thinks so after meet-ing with a seedy informer who tells himthere is a mole in the Secret Service — aturncoat agent on the White House detailwho will set up the president for assassi-nation. That this infonner would knowthe secrets involved in this particularconspiracy seems unlikely, but then ClayShaw never aeemed like a likely suspecteither, maybe because he wasn't one.
Without describing too many plotdetails, I can say that every agentassigned to the Office of the President isrequired to take a lie detector test, andthat only Garrison flunks. We know why:Asked if he has done anything to endan-ger the president, he naturally thinks ofwhat he has done to endanger the presi-dent's marriage, and the needle red-lines.That makes him a suspect, and bringshim into the cross-hairs of DavidBreckinridge (Kiefer Sutherland), an aceinvestigator who used to be Garrison'sbest friend, until, uh, Garrison had anaffair with HIS wife.
With the entire Secret Service lookingfor him, Garrison busts loose, goes under-ground, and uses all of his skills as anagent to stay free while trying to contacthis informer and single-handedly stop the
"The Sentinel"• • • '
Twentieth Century Fox presentation
Directed by: Clark JohnsonStarring: Michael Douglas, Kiefer
Sutherland, Eva Longoria, Kim Basinger,Martin Donovan, David RascheRunning time: 105 minutes
Classified: PG-13(for some intense action violence
plot to kill the president. A deadline isapproaching because Ballentine is sched-uled to attend a summit in Toronto,where he might be a prime target. Sincethe presidential helicopter was shot downby a rocket while leaving Camp David afew days earlier (not with the presidenton board), and since the service knows ithas a traitor, you might think the wisedecision would be to skip Toronto andstay at home, maybe in a Panic Room.But no: Ballentine goes to Toronto, alongwith Garrison, Breckinridge, Sarah, theterrorists, and everybody else in the plot.
"The Sentinel" involves a scenario thatis unlikely, I hope. But it's told efficientlyand with lots of those little details thatmake movies like this seem more expertthan they probably are. (Did you knowthat agents are trained to disengage thesafety lock on their handguns an they
draw them, insteadof after, as cops do?)The Douglas charac-ter does a lot of quickthinking, and
Sutherland is brisk,cold and efficient as asuper-sleuth. EvaLongoria plays Jill,hia new assistant,whom he prefers to aveteran agentbecause she's stillfresh and hasn't beenworn down by thejob. I was able to spot
the mole almost the first time he (or she)appears on the screen by employing theLaw of Economy of Characters, but his (ot-her) identity is essentially beside thepoint.
There comes a point in "The Sentinel,"as there did in Harrison Ford's"Firewall," when you wonder how a guyin his early 60s can run indefinitely, sur-vive all kinds of risky stunts, hold hisown in a fight, and stay three steps aheadof the young guys in his strategy. Youwonder, and then you stop wondering,because hey, it's a movie. As I so wiselywrote about the Ford movie, "Nobody cando anything they do in thrillers anyway,so why should there be an age limit onaccomplishing the impossible?"
This is the second theatrical feature(after "S.W.A.T.") directed by ClarkJohnson, an actor who has also done a lotof work on television, mostly on showsthat would be useful preparation, like"Homicide," "Law & Order," "The WestWing" and "The Shield." Have I seenmovies like "The Sentinel" before? Yes,and I hope to see them again. At a timewhen American audiences seem gratefulfor the opportunity to drool at mindlesshorror trash, it is encouraging that well-crafted thrillers are still being madeabout characters who have dialogue,identities, motives and clean shirts.
Minireviews"Take the Lead" (Teenage drama,
PG-13, 108 minutes). AntonioBanderas plays a ballroom dancinginstructor who walks into a roughNew York high school and announcesto the principal (Alfre Woodard) thathe plans to transform a class of themost troubled students by teachingthem to dance. He succeeds, in a filmthat would seem like wishful thinkingif we were not informed that Pierre
Dulaine, the man who inspiredBanderas' character, has done thatvery thing. The film has many unlike-ly plot details, but Antonio Banderasis reason enough to see it. By being soresplendent in his bearing and effect,he generates envy: The kids followhim not because they want to improveand reform, but because they wouldlike to be that cool. Rating: Threestars.

Vikings looking every Double-teamedbit like the team to beat
BY DOUG McKENZIEStaff Writer
They may be the top-ranked baseball team inthe Greater Middlesex Conference rightnow, but the South Brunswick Vikings are
keeping their success in perspective."To be honest, I don't put too much stock in
some of the polls," said head coach Leo Danik."They don't really mean too much until you get tothe county tournament. It's more of an honor thananything else at this point.
"The guys get a kick out of it."The respect the Vikings are getting is well
deserved, as they have raced out to a 9-2 startthis spring, with their lone losses coming ^to a nationally ranked team from /jt&Alexandria, Va., in a tournament at /CWalt Disney World last month, and toa solid Old Bridge team that toppedthe Vikings on their first game backfrom the Disney trip.
Since that game, South Brunswickhas resumed playing like the team tobeat in the GMC. Last Friday, the Vikingswon a classic 2-1 contest over second-ranked St.Joseph — a game which pitted two of the confer-ence's elite pitchers against each other.
For South Brunswick, senior left-hander KyleBreese took the ball, while the Falcons sent St.John's University-bound senior Matt Owens tothe hill. Neither pitcher disappointed.
"That was just, a terrific pitchers' duel," Daniksaid. "Both pitchers were everything they weresupposed to be and more. Their guy struck out 12hitters, our guy got 13, and they both gave up justtwo hits."
Danik also noted the buzz that the gameseemed to generate from the start.
"When you get into the game, every once in awhile you look around, and I noticed that therewere a lot of people there," the coach said. "That'skind of a tribute to both teams. You don't normal-ly see a lot of people at high school baseballgames."
For those that did attend this one, it wasworth it. The Vikings, trailing 1-0 with two outs inthe bottom of the sixth inning, had runners onsecond and third for their No. 5 batter, junior firstbaseman Jake Jaskowski. What ensued was astellar at-bat, with the junior eventually smash-ing a hard-hit ball down the third base line.Falcon third baseman Brian Koster made a niceplay to snag the ball on one hop, but his throw tofirst got by first baseman Ricky Hille, plating boththe tying and go-ahead runs.
Thai was all Breese needed, as the southpawimproved to 3-1 on the year, and cemented theVikings status as the GMC's top team.
South Brunswick was tested again on Tuesdayby the conference's third-ranked team fromEdison, and emerged with a 6-4 win. The Vikingsgot four runs in the home fifth to take the lead forgood, with the big blow a two-run triple fromBreese. Senior outfielder Russ Grimes added aninsurance run in the following inning with a solohome run, and Lafayette-bound senior TylerChromey improved to 4-1 with the win, allowingjust two earned runs in six innings of work.
With the win, the Wangs' fifth in a row, SouthBrunswick stretched their lead in the GMC's RedDivision to one-and-one-half games over both St.Joseph and Edison. Winning the division title isthe first item on a list of goals for Danik's crew.
"Every day's a dogfight in the Red Division,"the coach said. "And as the top-ranked team, youknow you're going to see everybody's ace becauseeverybody's gunning for you. If you have a slipup,you're going to get hurt.
"That's what happened against Old Bridge,"he said. "We just got back from Florida ... cameout a little flat and Old Bridge took advantage ofthat."
If the Vikings remain focused throughout theseason, they certainly have the manpower tomake a run at plenty of hardware.
Offensively, the Vikings are hitting at a ton'entpace, hitting .400 as a team, and their line-up iscontributing one through nine.
In the lead-off spot, junior infielder John Haasis hitting .488 with 18 runs scored in just 41 at-bats, while also knocking in six runs. Batting sec-
ond, senior shortstop Dan Gumey is batting ata .394 clip with 15 runs scored and six
Breese, who is headed toMonmouth University in the fall, isin the three spot, where he touts a.286 average, while cleanup hitterMike Mariano, a junior catcher, is 18-
for-36 (.500) on the year with a team-leading 12 RBIs. Jaskowski is also a
solid run-producer in the five hole, hitting.485 thus far (16-for-33) with eight RBIs.Junior outfielder Matt Forthun bats sixth,
where he is hitting .364 (12-for-33) with nineRBIs, while Grimes leads the team in home runs(3) from the seventh spot, and is also hitting .333(ll-for-33).
In the eighth spot, Danik uses two differentplayers, depending on who's pitching that day,and both players are responding well to the sys-tem. Senior outfielder Bobby Fiesta is hitting .400(10-for-25), while junior outfielder MattOndrejack is just l-for-4 on the year thus far, butis another solid presence at the plate,
Danik also has a platoon working in the ninespot, where senior infielder Tom Parisi (.333) andjunior third baseman Brendan Martin (.300)share time.
"We're hitting .400 as a team, which is great,"Danik said, adding that it's certainly more thanhe expected from his team. "We have a lot of guyswho worked very hard during the offseason, andit's paying off.
And the Vikings' pitching staff has been just asimposing, touring an impressive 2.59 ERAthrough 11 games. Along with Breese andChromey, Forthun has also been solid, going 2-0with a 1.62 ERA in limited work, while juniorConnor Henderson and senior Eric Bednarski adddepth.
Danik also intends to use Gurney, a right-han-der, in some spots, and is also anxious to get jun-ior lefty Mike Roller back from an injury.
The Vikings' surplus of quality arms will cer-tainly be an advantage down the stretch of theseason, starting with next week, when they playgames on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Fridayand Saturday.
"Having depth enables you to get throughweeks like that," Danik said.
As he looks ahead, Danik is hopeful that histeam can maintain the level of play they displayedthus far. He knows the components are there for aspecial season, including the intangible qualitiesthat help define championship teams.
"A lot of these guys have been playing togeth-er since they were 8-year-olds," the coach said."The trip to Florida and an earlier trip toMaryland only strengthened the team chemistry.
"But we have a lot of work ahead of us," headded. "We still play St. Joe's again, as well asMontgomery and CBA (May 13 at FirstEnergyPark in Lakewood). We need to come ready to playevery day."
Such is the life of the team to beat.
