SCORING
DONATIONS…Westfield neighbors gather to box up soccer equipment to donate to a community in Zambia,
Africa. The efforts of local residents – including Billy Sickles and his family, Rebecca Sarkos and her family
and the Westfield Soccer Association – inspired donations of hundreds of soccer cleats, shirts, shorts and
balls. The Regenstreich family, whose son Andrew is in Africa working at a refugee camp, started the drive after
Andrew sent a letter requesting “some” equipment.

FOR
AND AGAINST...Rahway Valley Sewerage Authority Commissioner Peter Pelissier, center, the leading proponent of
a measure to re-examine privatizing the RVSA, sits next to Mountainside Commissioner Clark Landale, right, the
most vocal critic of Mr. Pelissier’s resolution. Joan Papen, Scotch Plains commissioner, looks on. The measure
passed, 6-5. |

Reform Thoughts |
 |
The Cranford Township Committee
told its Rahway Valley Sewerage Authority representative to change his
affirmative vote to reexamine RVSA privatization. At Garwood's council meeting Garwood and Edison residents
decried Garwood Council President and RVSA representative Charles Lombardo's affirmative vote.
The RVSA voted 6-5 to approve Rahway Commissioner Peter Pelissier's resolution to authorize
privatization-related requests for proposals. As Mr. Pelissier's actions related to his pension-collecting
scandal and un-retirement from two official Rahway position call his ethics into
question, we question his motives. We question the financial implications of privatization.
We applaud Commissioners Joan Papen of Scotch Plains and Allen Chin of Westfield for their negative votes, and
we implore other RVSA officials to seriously consider the potential ramifications of privatization before moving
forward. - See year-to-date reform
thoughts.
