Among Tears, Best Wishes, Graduates Bid Farewell to WHS

By JOSH HAMERMAN

Specially Written for The Westfield Leader

The countless hugs, camera lens flashes, and good wishes that were seen and heard outside of the National Guard Armory on the afternoon of Wednesday, June 21, said it all. Something unforgettable and exciting was about to occur.

At 6 p. m., the 327 members of the Westfield High School (WHS) Class of 2000 paraded into the Armory, located across the street from the educational institution where they had spent the last four years.

After the graduating class and audience members joined in singing “America, the Beautiful,” Class President Lyndsay Valentine Ruotolo began the first commencement address of the 90minute ceremony. She noted that in the 30 years since her father graduated from WHS, “The Westfield community still provides the foundation upon which we build our future.”

Lyndsay declared, “Nothing must hinder us from achieving our dreams . . . if you can dream it, you can become it.”

Student Council President Heather Lynn Dennis remarked, “Four years of growing up has brought us here for one last lesson: to say goodbye . . . our past is coming to a close . . . our future is just beginning.”

Heather thanked the teachers, guidance counselors, families, coaches, and the other WHS staff who enriched the her life and her classmates’. She ended her speech with, “The future is sitting right here before you . . . I present the men and women of tomorrow – I give you the Class of 2000!”

Upon stepping up to the microphone, WHS Principal Dr. Robert G. Petix asked the school band, a female German exchange student, the Westfield Board of Education, and WHS teachers and administrators to stand and be applauded for their constant efforts.

Dr. Petix informed the audience that 17 members of the graduating class received National Merit commendation letters, four students were named National Merit finalists and

you to use the critical thinking that you have learned at Westfield High School to formulate your own ideas. Don’t be afraid to criticize and don’t be paralyzed into silence for fear of offending others.”

Walter Clarkson, a member of the WHS Class of 1950 and a retired WHS teacher, gave the final commencement address. He admitted, “When I first entered

Westfield High School, I was a very unconfident young person.”

Luckily, Mr. Clarkson’s teachers built up his selfesteem and encoursemifinalists,

and five were awarded National Merit scholarships. Those seniors were also asked to rise and be recognized by the spectators.

Dr. Petix also stated that the WHS Class of 2000 contained 26 Edward J. Bloustein scholars, 122 National Honor Society inductees, 82 Presidential Education Award recipients, and five students with perfect 4.0 grade point averages. All of these students, along with the many others who had received other accolades at a previouslyheld awards ceremony, stood and received applause.

After imparting the Women’s Club of Westfield Award to Tanya B. Tran and the Westfield Men’s Club Award to Jason Barry Laderman, Dr. Petix began his speech. He encouraged the graduates to, “be able to criticize and accept criticism,” and, “not to accept ideas simply because other people believe them. That is dangerous.”

Dr. Petix continued, “I urge all of aged him to succeed. He concluded,

“I encourage you to believe your own thoughts . . . I wish for you that your life rewards your own life and those of the community. Bon voyage!”

After Mr. Clarkson’s address, Dr. Petix announced that it was time for diplomas to be distributed. As Dr. Petix read off the names of the graduates, Westfield Board of Education President Darielle Walsh and Superintendent of Schools Dr. William J. Foley handed the high school degrees to the students who walked across the podium.

As the alphabetical list of graduates drew to an end, a huge cheer erupted from the crowd and graduation caps filled the air. Soon after Dr. Petix introduced the WHS Class of 2000, its members filed out of the Armory with the knowledge that new chapters of their lives were about to begin.

Crosswalk Addresses Safety Issues

By LYNN KOLIBABA

Specially Written for The Westfield Leader

If not for the bright yellowgreen pedestrian crossing signs, motorists might think the familiar crosswalk at East Broad Street and Jefferson Avenue in Westfield has suddenly transformed into a mini airport runway.

The technology is based on just that, but the enhanced crosswalk is actually a pilot program in pedestrian safety.

Adjacent to Temple EmanuEl and the site of one of two pedestrian fatalities on East Broad Street last year, the InRoad Pedestrian Warning Light System, went into operation Monday, June 19.

It is the first of its kind in northern New Jersey and one of only two in the state.

To supplement Union County’s funding of the project, the County Freeholder Board applied for, and received, a $12,500 Highway Project Grant from the New Jersey Division of Highway and Traffic.

Frank E. Dann, Jr. Director of Operational Services for the Union County Department of Public Works reported the project has cost $17,675 to date.

As required by the grant,

Discussion on Need for Spiritual Fulfillment Concludes Community Roundtable Series By SUSAN M. DYCKMAN

Specially Written for The Westfield Leader

“The Need for Spiritual Fulfillment” was the topic of the fourth and final roundtable discussion in Westfield’s Community 2000 program, which was held on four consecutive Mondays in June at the Westfield Municipal Building.

Sponsored by The Westfield Foundation and Town of Westfield, the

four roundtables brought together a total of 32 residents, parents, spiritual leaders, businesspeople and municipal officials to explore various issues that affect the community of Westfield.

The June 26 discussion, which was broadcast live on TV 36, included the following panelists: Brian Grandstand, parent; Reverend Leon Randall, St. Luke AME Zion Church; Thomas C. Jardim, Mayor of Westfield; Peter Fredas, parent; and Richard “Dick” Griggs, Westfield businessman.

Other participants included Rabbi Renee Goldberg, Temple EmanuEl; Claire Lazarowitz, Westfield Council member; and Keith Hertell, former Board of Education member.

In his opening comments, Mayor Jardim remarked that the topic of spiritual fulfillment is “entirely appropriate... (because) it goes to the

very heart of the community.” When asked by program facilitator Dr. Lois Richardson of The Gateway Institute (which produced the program for the town) “What is spiritual fulfillment?,” Ms. Lazarowitz

replied, “Spiritual fulfillment has to do with the way you incorporate the spiritual dimension into your life. It becomes your core, your center.”

R a b b i Goldberg answered, “There is no exact definition of spiritual fulfillment. We all take the journey by ourselves. Part of it is recognizing you are part of the world around you.”

Mr. Hertell saw a definite link CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

between spirituality and religion, calling spiritual fulfillment “a moral compass.”

“Spiritual fulfillment is on an individual basis,” answered Reverend Randall.

“Spiritual fulfillment gives that person some meaningfulness in life. It gives you an aspect of right and wrong.”

Mr. Fredas viewed spiritual fulfillment as everything that is nonmaterialistic. “You have to reach deep inside to attain it, and it’s there for the long term.”

Mr. Grandstand called spiritual fulfillment an effort that persons have to make throughout their lives. “It’s trying to apply some kind of model (to living),” he said. “It’s a daily struggle to achieve peace.”

Panelists agreed for the most part that spirituality can be taught most

Rescue Squad Seeks Council Support For Pension Plan By PAUL J. PEYTON

Specially Written for The Westfield Leader

In an effort to increase and retain membership on the town’s volunteer rescue squad, the Town Council has been asked to consider implementing a pension plan for squad members.

Called a Length of Service Award Program, or LOSAP, the plan is a taxdeferred compensation program for active members of volunteer emergency organizations, according to Town Administrator Thomas P. Shannon.

He said a fund administrator will be needed and a threshold, based on total members eligible for the program — perhaps 65 or 80 — will have to be determined by the council. In order to have it on the fall ballot, the council would have to pass an ordinance by Friday, August 25.

Nineteen towns in Bergen County and four in Union County, including Fanwood and Berkeley Heights, have adopted LOSAP ordinances.

The maximum any member could receive is $1,150 a year. That would equate to $92,000 in next year’s municipal budget, or half a tax point. The council would have to pass an ordinance to put a referendum on the November ballot.

Noting that half the squad turns over every five years, Squad President Reid S. Edles told council members that the goal is to keep the squad a volunteer

unit. “Many towns have had to go to paid EMS services. That’s not the direction we want to go in,” he said.

Last year, the squad responded to over 2,000 calls for service. Currently, the squad has 72 members who receive no compensation. Members volunteered 2,638 hours in 1999.

LOSAPs have been around in New Jersey since legislation was signed into law by Governor Christine Todd Whitman on January 19, 1998.

In a letter to Mayor Thomas C. Jardim, Mr. Edles outlined the squad’s LOSAP proposal, including the various benefit categories. Unlike other squads, Westfield members respond from the squad’s Watterson Street headquarters, rather than by pagers from their homes.

Under the proposed LOSAP, squad members with a 74 percent attendance record would be eligible for 20 percent of their benefit, or $230. This figure would climb to $920, or 80 percent of the benefit, for an 85to90 percent attendance record.

“It’s time to give back to others who have given so much,” responded Second Ward Councilman Matthew P. Albano.

In other business, the Westfield Area Chamber of Commerce has endorsed a plan by the town’s parking consultant, Michiganbased Rich and Associates, to build two parking decks in the downtown.

Unlike consultant Rick Rich’s proposal, however, the Chamber wants a deck built on the north side of the railroad tracks first, followed by a south side deck.

Mr. Rich has said a south side deck would entail moving 200 longterm employee, customer and visitor parkers from the north side to a South Avenue deck.

InRoad Pedestrian Warning Light System Addresses Safety Issues in Westfield

Union County will closely monitor the new crosswalk and submit a report to the state at the end of 18 months.

“We’ll also prepare surveys and work with the town to distribute them to motorists and pedestrians,” said Mr. Dann.

Union County Manager Michael Lapolla said that a traffic light was considered, but the realities of a fourto fiveyear wait and a pricetag of $300,000 demanded another solution.

“At a threeway intersection such as this, getting state approval for a traffic light is virtually impossible,” he said.

“We could have gone through a fiveyear process and still ended up with nothing. At minimum, this crosswalk is the best shortterm solution, if not the best longterm solution.”

The InRoad Pedestrian Warning Light System selected by the county is manufactured by Traffic Safety Corporation in Sacramento, California.

It features a series of yellow flashing lights embedded into the street along both sides of the crosswalk. Pedestrians activate the system by pushing buttons on curbside signposts. The lights flash for one second on and one second off for a total of 20 seconds, alerting motorists that a pedestrian is crossing and that they should prepare to yield.

While approaching the intersection, motorists are given two advance warnings. These consist of yellowgreen pedestrian crossing signs posted 500 feet and 1,000 feet away in each direction along East Broad Street.

Last Monday, as Union County Bureau Chief Angelo Paparella prepared to activate the system, he invited Rabbi Charles Kroloff of Temple EmanuEl to do the honors and flip the switch.

“Everyone in the congregation is extremely pleased about the new crosswalk system,” said Rabbi Kroloff, who has been involved with the project since the beginning.

Rabbi Kroloff contacted Union county officials last year after the fatal accident of Anna Trakova, a nanny employed by a Westfield couple. Ms. Trakova was crossing the street to pick up a child at Temple EmanuEl.

More than one thousand people often attend the Temple for Friday night and high holiday services, while 700 religion students attend the Temple’s learning center.

Observing that many motorists did not notice or ignored the signs

and the crosswalk signals, Rabbi Kroloff said, “We need lot of education. I hope the attention this new crosswalk receives helps to make motorists more alert to pedestrians at all crosswalks. Yielding to pedestrians is the law in the State of New Jersey.”

Citing California, New Hampshire and Massachusetts as examples, Mr. Paparella commented that yielding to pedestrians is a norm in other states.

“New Jersey motorists are behind the curve in this respect,” he said.

To facilitate public education, Union County has prepared a pamphlet that describes the new InRoad Pedestrians Warning Light System and what motorists and pedestrians need to know. Over the past two weeks, road crews have distributed pamphlets to motorists as they wait at stop light intersections throughout town.

Westfield Third Ward Councilman Neil F. Sullivan, Jr., Public Safety Committee Chairman said he had already contacted county officials about improving the advanced warning signs leading to the crosswalk.

“This is a new pedestrian safety technology. People in New Jersey haven’t seen it and don’t know what to do. It has to become part of the culture in our community,” he said.

The Town of Westfield also plans to install a flashing pedestrian crosswalk system on Rahway Avenue, most probably near Willow Grove Road. Only two vendors in the country currently manufacture the inroad light systems and each employs a different methodology.

The funding for the Rahway Avenue crosswalk has already been approved.

Before they decide on a vendor, however, town officials will closely follow what happens on East Broad Street and will wait to review the final recommendations by the RBA Consulting Group, a consulting firm conducting a traffic calming study for the town.

Applauding the efforts of the town and the county, Councilman Sullivan said, “I believe we are on our way to becoming one of the leading communities in the state, in terms of traffic calming and pedestrian safety.”

Tips for pedestrians and motorists using the new flashing crosswalk as excerpted from the InRoad Pedestrian Warning Light System pamphlet prepared by the Union County Department of Operational Services, Division of Engineering:

What pedestrians need to remember when using this crosswalk:

· To activate the lights, press one of the buttons at either end of the crosswalk.

· As a pedestrian, do not assume that oncoming motorists will stop. The flashing crosswalk system does not guarantee motorists will stop, even though by law they are required to stop. The lights simply make pedestrians more visible in the roadway.

· When crossing remember to stop, look both ways, and enter the road only after approaching motorists are aware of your presence.

What motorists need to remember:

· Motorists are required by law to yield to all pedestrians in a crosswalk.

· Motorists must also yield and allow a pedestrian waiting at a crosswalk to cross.

East Broad Accident Occurs as TV Crew Films New Crosswalk By LYNN KOLIBABA

Specially Written for The Westfield Leader

WESTFIELD – On Tuesday, June 20 a FOX 5 News crew was in the Town of Westfield to cover the new InRoad Pedestrian Warning Light System located at Temple EmanuEl on East Broad Street.

While filming the report at the intersection of East Broad and Jefferson, they inadvertently captured part of a motor vehicle accident.

Viewers watching the FOX 5 10 o’clock News that night may have caught a glimpse of the incident in the righthand portion of their screens.

Lieutenant John Parizeau of the Westfield Police Department said the accident occurred at 6: 06 p. m.

Two cars were heading east on East Broad Street, when Delpera

Bayliss, 31, of Plainfield ran into the car in front of her.

The second driver was Margarita Jimenez, 19, also of Plainfield.

Ms. Jimenez was taken to the Muhlenberg Regional Medical Center for evaluation. In the police report, they listed driver inattention on the part of Ms. Bayliss as the contributing circumstance.

On his way home from work that night, Union County Traffic Bureau Chief Angelo Paparella, happened to witness the incident. “I like to drive by and check road projects we are doing in the county,” he said.

Mr. Paparella couldn’t say what caused the accident, but, with two vans, a satellite dish, reporters, camera crew and residents waving at the camera, he did describe the scene as a “bit of a circus.”

GEPA/ IOWA Test Results To be Released by BOE in August

By LAWRENCE HENRY

Specially Written for The Westfield Leader

WESTFIELD — The Westfield Board of Education has decided to put off presenting the results of the Grade Eight Proficiency Assessment (GEPA)/ Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS) tests “until we resume meeting in August,” according to Board President Darielle Walsh.

Mrs. Walsh said that the board’s television crew was not available for Tuesday’s meeting, so that meeting would consider only personnel matters.

According to Mrs. Walsh, the board considers the test results too important not to televise.

Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction Janie

P. Edmonds will present the test results at the first August meeting of the board, Mrs. Walsh said.

The GEPA test, created by the state of New Jersey to test eighth graders’ skill levels, and the national Iowa tests, given to second, third, fifth, sixth and seventh grade students, are given in the Westfield Schools every spring.

Fourth grade students now are given the Elementary School Proficiency Assessment, also created by the state of New Jersey to test students. Those results will not be released at the August meeting. effectively by example.

Said Mr. Griggs, “It’s a twoway street. We have exceptional spiritual leadership in town. The education we get has to be lived.”

Reverend Randall concurred. “Spirituality is taught not just by what you say, but by what you do. If we’re not acting it out, it means nothing,” he stated.

The mayor again touched on the propriety of discussing a topic such as spirituality, which is so often linked to religion, from the confines of “City Hall” — the seat of government for the town.

“It is so important from the context of City Hall to teach kids how to live their lives,” said Mr. Jardim. “Even though the Constitution separates the two, it doesn’t mean government and religion can’t coexist and partner sometimes.”

“We’ve gotten away from talking about it (religion),” added Mr. Hertell.

“We should be getting the good out of all of it.”

Discussion touched upon the recent “wilding” events in Central Park, New York City, and where spirituality or the lack thereof, played a part in the attacks on women in the park.

Rabbi Goldberg spoke to the “boys will be boys” excuse that characterized initial coverage and commentary on the Central Park events. “That escalated into something bigger,” she said. “The boys saw the women as body parts they could grab and take.” She also spoke to the “sense of entitlement and permissiveness” in today’s society that has obliterated any sense of fear or repercussion. “There isn’t a sense of respect any more,” she concluded.

Dr. Richardson asked where spiritual fulfillment comes into play in the diverse community that is Westfield?

Mr. Jardim spoke to the perceived divisions between north side and south side, between old and young, between old and new. “Maybe we should come together and celebrate more often the diversity that’s Westfield,” he said.

Ms. Lazarowitz talked about the Westfield Neighborhood Council and its role in serving, as she said, “the needs of the working poor” in the community. “It’s inclusion,” she said, “it’s standing up for people who have less, for people who need to feel the town, the people, are there to help them.”

While some panelists felt the north side/ south side division is blown out

of proportion, others acknowledged that it very definitely exists for some residents. All agreed that the perception of differences between the sides is the reality for most people.

Mr. Fredas spoke to the great amount of pride that residents have in their town. “Maybe,” he said, “we should bring congregations together to worship together.”

Speaking on his observations of some African American residents, Reverend Randall said that feelings of division go back through the generations. As for believing that changes are coming, he said, “They don’t believe it until it actually happens.”

In the audience, David Owens was one of just a dozen residents who attended the roundtable. He was very much in favor of continuing the dialogue launched by the program.

“I’m intrigued by holding community meetings to talk about big issues,” he said. “It’s something we should continue and all participate in. These are things we all grapple with, and there’s comfort in coming together. I sense a desire to return to the oldfashioned way of dealing with problems. This kind of forum is not used often enough.”

A question from resident Maryanne Garbowsky regarding bringing pressure to bear on the media to “spend money on programming that’s more spiritually valuable to children” sparked a discussion among panelists.

According to Mr. Fredas, it is up to parents to restrict what their children watch and what music they buy. He also recommended writing to legislative representatives and the networks themselves to voice dissatisfaction with program options.

With respect to what young people are looking for in terms of spirituality, Mr. Griggs replied, “They crave standards and parents provide the best opportunity for that.”

“They are looking for it,” added Mr. Grandstand. “It’s difficult to articulate when you’re 12. Ideally parents provide it in the course of growing up. We need to instruct them.”

Said Mr. Hertell, “There’s no question in my mind that kids look for standards, restrictions, values.... From there, spirituality develops.”

At the conclusion of the program, Mayor Jardim offered a challenge to the ministerium of Westfield to take the lead on the issue of spiritual fulfillment. “We have a terrific treasure that is our ministerium.... I would like to see them lead the town toward spiritual fulfillment.”

Talk on Spiritual Fulfillment Concludes Roundtable Series

Witnesses Sought as Probe Of Traffic Fatality Continues

By KIM KINTER

Specially Written for The Westfield Leader

WESTFIELD – The Westfield Police Department, which is continuing to investigate a fatal accident that occurred last week on Springfield Avenue, is asking anyone who may have witnessed this accident to contact the Westfield Police Traffic Bureau.

The bureau may be reached at (908) 7894020.

Attila Kovacs, 30, of Clark died at Morristown Memorial Hospital in Morristown after the motorcycle he was driving was struck by a 17yearold Westfield resident who was attempting to exit Echo Lake Country Club.

After the motorcyclist was hit, he was thrown into the other lane of traffic, where he was then struck by another vehicle.

At the time of the incident, Lieutenant John M. Parizeau revealed that witnesses said there may have been a third car in front of the motorcycle and that the motorcyclist may have been attempting to pass the car on the left when the collision occurred.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Darryl Walker, Chairman of the 291member Chamber’s Board of Directors, stated that many member stores have complained about a parking capacity problem. He asked the council to commit now.

“They can’t get enough consumers into the stores. This is a big problem as Westfield continues to grow,” he told the council Tuesday night.

“There is a perception that Westfield has a major parking problem and consumers are avoiding the downtown,” he added.

During the meeting, Mr. Rich provided more information concerning placement of a deck on Lot 5, located between Central Avenue and Elmer Street.

Extending a deck to include the private lot behind retail stores on Central and the Westfield Service League property off of Elmer would produce a fourlevel deck, plus a ground floor of 428 spaces, for a net gain of 340 over what is currently in the lot.

The lot would cost around $6 million to construct, including debt from the issuance of bonds.

Mr. Rich said his concerns involve the impact the deck would have on traffic intersections in the area.

By building one combination deck on lots 1 and 8, off Prospect and Elm Streets, respectively, a total of 826 spaces could be achieved for a cost of $11.12 million. This would represent 336 more parking stalls than the 490 spaces which could be achieved if the deck is built only on Lot 1.

By the end of the meeting, after 11 p. m., Acting Mayor Lawrence A. Goldman tried to see if there was a consensus among council members to pick a location for a deck.

Third Ward Councilman Neil F. Sullivan said that before this can be decided, he wants data on who will be parking in each of the proposed deck

Rescue Squad Seeks Council Support For Pension Plan

plans, where they will be coming from and how the town will handle the displacement of permit holders during the construction phase.

Lastly, he would like projections on each of the proposed sites regarding how the town’s parking capacity will be impacted in the long run.

The council will continue the deck discussion at a special meeting on Tuesday, July 11.

On another matter, officials noted that the construction of a restroom and storage facility at Gumbert Park is now estimated to cost $134,500 — up from the original projection of $95,000.

The town will pick up $52,000 of the cost, with $45,000 coming from grants and $37,500 from the Westfield Baseball League.

Recreation Director Glenn Burrell informed the council through a memo that increases costs are associates with moving a sanitary sewer line, relocating an existing batting cage, landscaping, demolition of an existing storage building and additional architectural fees.
