Mayor may mull tax rebate flap Boothe sees town obeying law, not looking to make money • y KKV1W COCUOAH THE RECORD Westfield Mayor Garland "Bud" Boothe said Monday he would make "no promises or commitments" to reform Westfield's prac- tice of quietly absorbing property tax over- payments. Asked for his reaction to last week's Wat- field Record article detailing the transfer of more than $90,000 in overpaid 1092 property taxes into the town's general surplus ac- count, the mayor was noncommittal. "I really don't know. I have not had any opportunity for much reflection or any in- vestigation," he said. "I am going to ask some questions about it." The Township Council voted unanimously June 20 to absorb overpayments collected from 206 property owners and/or mortgage companies. Aside from sporadic phone calls to familiar residents, none of the overpayers was notified by the tax office. Mayor Boothe defended the town's mo- tives. "The town is not trying to make money out of this process," he said. "As far as I am concerned, we are doing what the law requires us to do (iii transferring the funds)." Third Ward Councilman Neil Sullivan, who previously expressed reservations about the transfer, had a stronger reaction. "1 be- lieve we have an obligation to make a good faith effort to get overpaid amounts into the hands of the rightful owners," said Mr. Sul- livan. "If [the process] needs to be evaluated as to how to do it better, that's something I certainly would support." In the June 13 agenda meeting preceding the vote, Mr. Sullivan said he thought the town had a "moral obligation" to inform property owners of tax overpayments. "We have an obligation to do what we are required to do," countered Township Admin- istrator Edward Gottko. The administrator told council members property owners who overpay taxes are notified by mail. He was later contradicted by the Westfield tax col- lector. Mr. Gottko did not return several phone calls from The Record. Westfield Tax Collector Violet Jacob said property owners are not informed of tax overpayments because her office is unable to accurately determine where tax payments come from. "I don't know whose money it is," said Ms. Jacob. "If I did, I'd refund it I don't know where it came from. I have no way of checking it." The reason for the confusion, said Ms. Jacob, is the recent proliferation of mortgage swapping among mortgage companies, The vast majority of Westfielders pay their prop- erty taxes through mortgage companies. In recent years, mortgage companies have sold mortgages back and forth so often, it be- comes impossible to trace mortgage pay- ments, said Ms. Jacob. Larger companies' may pay "tens of thousands" of tax bills with a single check, she said. Despite the difficulty of the Westfield tax collector, notifying overpayers is the norm, said Vincent Belluscio, president of the state's Tax Collectors Association.

The existing home Is at left. Plan for home addition worries some neighbors • » KIVTN OOUKUW THE RECORD The plans of a local publisher to build a large Colo- nial addition connected via an aerial walkway to a Victorian cottage on Kimball Avenue have raised the ire of some neighbors who say the addition will be- smirch their historic neighborhood. The neighbors so oppose the plans of Kurt Bauer, the owner and publisher of the Westfield Leader, they have hired an attorney to block the addition. "I live right across the street," said Lawrence Av- enue resident Elizabeth Fusco. "I am concerned about the style of the addition. He wants to build a huge box right next to his current, incredibly cute, ginger- bread Victorian cottage.". Ms. Fusco said neighbors are also concerned about the intended use of the structure. Some fear the addi- tion may be used to store or show antiques in a semi- professional manner in the single-family, residential neighborhood, she said. Mr. Bauer declined to comment Architectural plans filed with the building depart- ment call for a 24-foot by 66-foot, two-story rect- angular addition connected to Mr. Bauer's current home by a 16-foot by 18-foot aerial walkway. The home's existing driveway will remain and run under the connecting structure. In the scale drawing filed with the town, the addition appears to be significantly larger than the existing cottage. The height of the main addition is 34 feet in front, increasing toward the rear of the building as the prop- erty drops off. The building's facade is fronted by four pillars. The face of the building has one circular and four large rectangular windows. Although the application meets the Planning Board's guidelines for height and lot coverage, it was denied by the building department as "markedly in- congruous" to the neighborhood Mr. Bauer has re- tained attorney James Flynn to appeal the decision. The Board of Adjustment will hear the appeal Mon- day. "We've got a pretty well-established neighborhood," (Please turn to page A-2) THE RECORD The Westfield Planning Board hoped its denial of the ShopRite supermarket application would keep the store off Westfield's shelf. Now it appears the store may move just down the North Avenue aisle into Garwood and Westfield may get stuck with the legal bills. "Right now, we're leaning toward the Garwood-only plan," Village Supermarkets General Counsel Frank Sauro said Monday. Under the Garwood-only plan, Village Supermarkets would pur- chase, demolish and build on the site of the Plaza Properties Mini- Mall in Garwood. The proposed 58,000-square-foot supermarket quashed by the West- field Planing Board in April would set up shop a few hundred feet down the road. Westfield would get virtually the same traffic and noise under this plan, but none of the control over -the store's operations or the tax revenues. The original plan called for the supermarket building to be 80 percent in West- field and 20 percent in Garwood. If Village Supermarkets chooses the Garwood-only route, the pace of the application will drastically quicken. "It is our intention to bring an amended application be- fore the Garwood board shortly after the resolution (approving the original application) is memorial- ized July 26," said Mr. Sauro. Garwood's board, which sup- ported the original plan 7-0, would likely support an all-Garwood ShopRite. "I feel we could do it in one meeting," said Planning Board Chairman Rodney Van Natta. "Our attorney thinks it will take a couple meetings ... It wouldn't take 2Vi years." The original application lingered before the Westfield and Garwood Planning Boards for nearly three years. Construction on the mart would begin soon after the amended ap- plication is approved, said Mr. Sauro. The store could be com- pleted within four-12 months of the start of construction, he said. Anti-ShopRite WestfieJders who regularly packed town hearings on the supermarket application will be all but shut out of Garwood-only hearings. "We will have [hearings] limited to people directly con- cerned," said Mr. Van Natta. "I don't feel Garwood should have to listen to people who live all the way across Westfield. We don't have a say in their town." Regardless of its course of ac- tion, Village Supermarkets will pursue an appeal of the Westfield Planning Board's denial. The ap- peal, in New Jersey Superior Court, seeks to overturn the board's deci- sion and to collect legal fees from the town for the appeal. "It is my expectation the fees could well be $100,000 or more," Mr. Sauro said. The Planning Board may reach a settlement with Village Su- permarkets. To date, the sides have met once. The Planning Board's attorney said there are no concrete plans to meet again. He said the board is in a "holding pat- tern."

GASP aims to butt machine ban off 'table1
a* KCVW OOLUCMNTHE RECORD
A representative of the anti-smoking group GASP urged theWestfieM Township Council topass an ordinance which would barcigarette vending machines withintown limits.
Tlie request came at the Coun-cil's July 5 meeting. Council first
introduced the ordinance May 23,but tabled it after vending machinedistributors proposed machines beoutfitted with locking devices rath-er than outlawed.
GASP attorney Karen Blumen-feld told the Council such lockingdevices, which are remotely con-trolled by employees of the estab-lishment housing the machines,simply don't work. Studies have
shown hostesses, bartenders andclerks are too busy to consistently"proof youngsters asking to usethe machine, said Ms. Blumenfeld.
Fourth Ward Councilman JamesHely took issue with a total ban,saving the locking devices seemeda reasonable compromise. "I don'twant to throw the baby out withthe bath water," he said.
Second Ward Councilman James
Gruba and Fourth Ward Council-man Michael Panagos did not at-tend the meeting.

Mayor may mull question of tax overpayments(Continued from page A-l)
Plains investigates every overpayment ex-ceeding $5. "It is not difficult," said Rose Mac-can, an employee in the Scotch Plains tax col-lector's office. "We research it and determinewho should receive the check — the home-owner or the escrow account" Tricky in-vestigations may take up to two hours, she said.
Cranford skips the notification and simplysends refunds to taxpayers or mortgage compa-nies that overpay taxes by $3 or more. "Whathappens is, we just cut a refund check once ayear," said Cranford Tax Collector ThomasGrady.
Asked if tracing tax overpayments is difficult,Mr. Grady said, "No ... It doesn't take long atall"
"In regards to what Westfield does, we don'tever take in large sums of money in overpay-ments," said Mr. Grady.
"Maybe they have that capability. We don't,"said Ms. Jacob. "We are hand-posted." Cran-ford and Scotch Plains have computerized taxcollection offices.
Mayor Boothe said the town strives to in-tegrate "thoroughly tested" technology into gov-ernment "It is our intention to have town hallas completely computerized as possible," hesaid.
Ms. Jacob said property owners should paymore attention when paying property taxes."Please, please be careful," she said. "Check tosee at that time you are not overpaid ... Wewould avoid all this."
If a Westiielder is fortunate enough to dis-cover overpayment of property taxes, he or shecan receive a refund after presenting the taxcollector with a canceled check as proof ofpayment If taxes are paid through a mortgagecompany, residents should write the companyand request it supply the collector with proofof payment and a request for a refund.
Even the most conscientious of Westfielders,however, may be stopped by » lot more subtleroadblock. Properties with overpaid 1962 taxescataloged in the town council's resolution —and reprinted in The Accord last week — arelisted by old block and lot numbers.

Neighbors are also concernedabout the long-term effects of Mr.Bauer's addition. Mr. Murtishawfears the existence of two largestructures on one 120-foot by 171-foot lot may lead to the propertybeing used for a business purposeor, possibly, subdivided in the fu-ture.

'The front of the building is defi-nitely Colonial. It has pillars in itI'd definitely call it Colonial."
This argument is unlikely to si-lence Mr. Bauer's neighbors.
"It's very peculiar that someonewho has fairly good taste wouldwant to put this ugly thing up,"said Ms. Fusco.

CommentaryKeep the changeLegislature's 'mandate-pay' relief bill isn'teven close to what taxpayers really need
The Legislature in Trenton seems quite satis-fied with itself for having passed the so-calledState Mandate-State Pay bill. It lightens certainstate-mandated requirements, giving towns theoption to take less costly means of complying.
The bill's title promises more than the textdelivers. Towns and school boards have beenscreaming about mandated state programs forwtuch the state provided no money.
The 52-12 Assembly vote reflects the pent-uptaxpayer sentiment that there are enough local
lses without the state forcing more on be-ared, tax-paying property owners. (As-
ibly members Bagger, Augustine, LustbaderOgden from the local Districts 21 and 22
ated for this bill.)rThe taxpayer disappointment over this effort
going to come in the realization that the poli-of home rule has once again forestalled
.meaningful government spending reform. Con-^ider:J7] New Jersey's 567 municipalities in 1991 col-lected more than $2.5 billion from taxpayers, yetfche estimated $28.5 million savings to be reapedJjnder this new bill is less than 1.5 percent ofJthat staggering total.j7\ Two of the options given to tc^ns by the bill^ u l d make it even tougher to keep up withlocal politicians' maneuvers. Once signed into«law by Gov. Christine Whitman, as is expected,fywns have the option of publishing detailedfcjparly budgets, as now, or just a "summary,"f a r i n g taxpayers the details. Another provisionjwould allow publication of summaries of pro-ipbsed new local laws, rather than their full texts,'as now. Statewide savings on these two points'would be about $4.7 million.
(21 The bill will give towns the choice of notify-ing property owners of assessment changes asthey occur, or in annual mailings. Statewide sav-ings are estimated at $950,000 for an average of$1,675 for each of the 567 Garden State townsopting to take this new "cost-cutting" choice.
The list of such cost cutters in the bill goes onand on, but the drift is consistent. The indi-vidual options will not be particularly popular onthe town-by-town political scene and, therefore,unlikely to be exercised on anything like a per-manent basis.
The bill also fails to address the spending pat-terns and mandates in the state's more than 600local school districts. Here, the duplicationamong very highly paid administrators, inef-ficient transportation systems serving small,abutting areas, duplication of small-enrollment,specialized top- or low-end classes and manyother tax dollar-gorging phenomena providemuch richer ground for saving real tax dollars.
There also was no mention of an incentive,much less a mandate, for schools to use thelatent cost-saving powers of Educational ServiceCommissions (ESCs) which already exist. TheseESCs could absorb many of the functions nowduplicated by schools and towns.
If the bill is acknowledged to be a tentativefirst step in the direction of substantive tax re-form, we will be pleasantly and respectfully sur-prised in this year of legislative elections.
A word from Gov. Whitman when, as ex-pected, she signs this bill into law might helpunderscore the notion of this being a humblebeginning.
Otherwise, Legislature, keep the small change,eh?

|How a long-dead squirreljhearly ended a marriage
Jobless in Westfield meansindignities and unemployment
, My husband, who can thrill and; amaze me (practically into a stu-i por) with his knowledge of comput-'. era, finances and politics, finds it1 totally impossible to deal with ordi-nary everyday problems.
- - We have a swimming pool and,I every so often, a kamikaze squirrel
lands in the drink. Because asquirrel is endowed with lessbrains than God gave lint, it cannotfind the pool steps and ends upgasping its last breath in one of theskimmers.
Since I am a morning swimmer,I usually find these tiny bundles ofdeath. But Jim found the most re-cent casualty and was totally out ofhis element.
"What do we do about a deadsquirrel in the pool?" he asked.
"Remove it," I answered pa-tiently, with my Oair for stating theobvious.
"You mean pick it up?" he said,with a look or disgust.
"You could try levitating it, but itprobably won't work without prac-tice and a how-to book," I said. (Ialso have a Qair for sarcasm).
He stood there, expressionless,waiting for me to stop laughing atmy own joke. He then hit me witha flurry of questions on what to useto pick up the squirrel and whereto dispose of it.
"Oh, let me," I said. "Disposingof a dead animal is a skill thattakes years of study." (More sar-casm, but he ignored it, which ishow he handles most of what I say;it keeps him from throttling me.)
I went out to the pool and lookedat the curled-up squirrel, whichwas bobbing like some obsceneHalloween apple in a barrel. Jimpoked at it with the pool brush andit bobbed some more.
I reached into the water with agarbage bag around my hand andplucked the squirrel out.
"What if it's not really dead?"Jim asked. "What if it comes backto life?"
"If this squirrel comes back tolife, we're going to base a wholenew religion on it," I said grimly.
Now here's where Jim and I dis-agree on what occurred next: Hesays I said I would dispose of thesquirrel by throwing in the garbagecan for pickup the following day.But I distinctly remember saying,we would throw it in the garbagecan.
This man has lived with me foralmost 20 years. Surely he knowsthat when I say "I," it means I willdo it. When I say "he," it means hewill do it. But — and this is crucial— when I say "we," I also mean he
will do it He, not me. Period. Andthat's what I said about the squir-rel.
So you can imagine my surprisewhen we arrived home a fewnights ago and he nonchalantlysaid, "I guess we'd better get rid ofthat squirrel."
"What squirrel?" I asked, not re-ally alarmed because I figured hemeant a second squirrel. Surely hehad not left the not-so-recently de-parted squirrel on the side of thehouse.
I stared at him in goggle-eyedamazement as he informed methat he had indeed left the squirrelon the side of the house for twoweeks, but had covered it with aplastic basket because he knew wewere expecting company. How as-tute of him to realize our friendsmight not want to be greeted at thegate by a glassy-eyed, waterloggedrodent.
It was 95 degrees when 1grabbed a shovel and dumpedFuzzy into our trash can. I won'tdescribe the aroma or the appear-ance of the now nearly liquefiedsquirrel. When the borough gar-bage collector's eyes fill with tears,you know you've overstepped thebounds of decency.
I also think it may be against thelaw to throw chlorine-soaked ani-mals in the trash.
But don't worry, it won't happenagain. Next time, Jim will be din-ing on squirrel en brochette (withsome fava beans and a nice chi-anti).
To The Record:I recently read an article in The New York Times
about the annual teen frenzy for summer jobs. Itsbasic attitude was a bleak one, saying few jobs wereout there, and those precious few available often wentto those with either great connections or vast experi-ence. As the old saying goes, you can't get a jobwithout experience, but you can't get experience with-out a job. It's a veritable Catch-22, and nowhere is thissad dilemma more true than right here in Westfield. Ispent nearly a month scouring want ads, keepingwatch for "Help Wanted" signs, and making phonecalls, all to no avail. What disturbs me most of all,however, is not the lack of income or idle time, butrather the simple rudeness that most potential em-ployers display in treating their applicants. In oneinstance my three voice-mail messages and two con-versations with secretaries failed to produce even a
return call. After two weeks, I was bluntly told In afinal call that the job was filled. That particular corri-pany had advertised on the high school job board,and thus should have been particularly considerate intreating the eager, hard-working students who wouldlikely reply. Several other Westfteld businesses failedto respond, period, after I submitted my application inanswering their want ads. They have certainly lostany future patronage from this consumer. My mes-sage to the area merchants and businesses is this; Atleast give job applicants the courtesy of a response/assimple as "Thank you, but we're not interested/' Tonot even answer an applicant, particularly a student,turns the whole job search process into an insulting,demeaning welcome into adulthood. Oh well, at leastnext year I can go to Garwood and work at that lovelynew ShopRite.

Let's show some respect for treesTo The Record:
Have you ever thought about trees? I mean reallythought about the inherent worth of each tree thatgraces the landscape of our communities?
Think about the trees that shade your house in thesummer, keeping it cool and wonderful on thosesteamy afternoons. Conversely, think about the wayeach tree shields your home and family from thefreezing winds of a winter storm. Trees are naturalapartment houses, sheltering young birds and provid-ing a wealth of food for wildlife. Trees also mufflesounds from roads and traffic.
Sources say that the average young tree removes 25pounds of carbon dioxide from our air each year.
Carbon dioxide comes from burning fossil fuels, likegasoline. It also comes from human beings each timethey exhale. On average, we need to have 65 treesavailable to absorb the total amount of carbon dioxideone person creates in his or her lifetime. Now, do yousee how important each tree is for our well-being?
Take a look around your community. Don't losesight of the trees and shrubs being removed eachtime more concrete is poured. Get out there and tellyour officials that you'd like to see some sort of com-pensation for the trees lost It will help you provide abetter community for your children and yourselves.

Congress, science in wetlandsAs one clearly defines wetlands, the other does them inBy DAVID F. MOORE

How wet is a wetland? How high is themoon? How deep is the ocean?
Those are very good questions best left toscience, especially the first one.
Note that I said "science" and not "a scien-tist." Science is a huge area of Interest, tradi-tionally neutral in its quest for answers. Scien-tists, on the other hand, are often subject to thesame frailties as the rest of us.
As for wetlands, they may be wet, damp oreven dry. Science has to decide what actually isa wetland, or is not
Lots of plant species and the animals thatdepend on them need land that is dry part ofthe time and wet the rest. Such places arebetter off not being people habitat, and viceversa. Indeed, as in the Mississippi flood plain,we should be moving people out of part-timerivers here in this state.
Because readily developable land is more ex-pensive, greed turned to wetlands, despite regu-lation by the Army Corps of Engineers, Envi-ronmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service, all involved with adminis-tering the wetlands protection part of the CleanWater Act.
Not wishing to take sides between the devel-ooers and his agency people, and in order toget to a "science-based" definition, former Pres-ident Bush asked the National Academy of Sci-ences to prepare a definition of wetlands.
That work by the Academy is now complete,right in the middle of Congress' attempt toemasculate the wetlands portion of the CleanWater Act. Naturally, some members of Con-gress don't like the Academy's study results.But in their haste to plunder wetlands, theydidn't wait for it anyway.
In this state, we have taken on the responsi-bility of the federal wetlands program as a re-sult of adopting our own Freshwater WetlandsProtection Act. So what happens to the federalwetlands definition is critical to us.
Early in the Bush years, the president calledfor "no net loss" of wetlands, a move applaudedby the conservation community. That policyand the Clean Water Act have substantiallyslowed the loss of wetlands, and none too soon,for the rate of loss was staggering.
The average loss from 1954 to 1974 was690,000 acres per year! The law, plus a ucapita] value of farmland which made the ex-pense of converting wetlands to cropland un-economical, and a waning of the building bo^m,have permitted wetlands losses to become atrickle. • I
The trouble with "no net loss" is that it df alsonly with quantity, not quality. It doesn't recog-nize that wetland losses in one place might be"mitigated," or recouped, somewhere else. Weare still losing high-quality wetlands. ', •
It isn't as if we are dealing with a large per-centage of the landscape when protecting iwet-lands; it's a mere 5 percent of the land area ofthe country. It used to be 10 percent, but wehave lost half the nation's wetlands. In NewJersey, the percentage is even higher.
Just because the law is working doesn't meanwe can get rid of it, just when it is beginning todo its job. It would be very easy to lose all theground gained.
What we all need to do now is call or writeour congresspersons, and contact our state leg-islators too, and tell them how we fed about theClean Water Act at the federal level, and theFreshwater Wetlands Protection Act at the slatelevel.

O m aacond-grader accompanied the dream vacation (moatty ahopping) paragraph with thia whimsical crayon Illuatratloft.
What?!! You don't know about'restaurant camping' vacations?
In the last week of the schoolyear, Forbes Newspapers askedsecond-graders to describetheir idea of a dream vacation,or one of the best vacationsthey've had thus far.
Their imaginations didn't failthem, and one even put aname on a leisurely style ofoutdoor recreation, "RestaurantCamping."
Here is a sampling of thechildren's ideas and art:
Once I went on a vacation,but it wasn't just any vacation.It was extra fun. We went toCalifornia for my cousins' Barand Batmitzvah. It was greatbecause there was a table fullof candy. But that's not all!Since it is almost always niceout, we got to go swimmingevery day of the week! Mybrothers, my cousins and I hadlots and lots of fun.
— Allison Feldman
It all happened one nightwhen I went to bed. This is thedream. In the middle of thesummer my Mom said, "Doyou want to go in the pool?""Yeah!" I said, so we put onour bathing suits and went."Time to get out," said mymom. "OK," I said. We got outand went home. Then we wentdown the shore for a week.When we came home we saw alemonade stand. Then mymom woke me up.
— Karen Ifoernlein
My best summer vacationwas when me, my dad, mybrother, my mom and mygrandma went camping. Wedon't go camping and grillhamburgers over a fire, or any-thing like that. We did some-thing called restaurant camp-ing. It's much easier. All youdo is get take-out.
- Abby R.
The best summer vacationwould be if I could stay in amansion in Florida with five of
stores I want, have all themoney I want to go shopppingand have my own room.
- Kristin Sawyer
Ring!!! School's out! I won-der what I should do? I thinkmaybe I should go swimmingor, maybe, go see the movieCasper. First, I have to gohome. Cool!! I got a letter.Wow!! I got three tickets to theBahamas. I wonder who Ishould bring? I think I shouldbring Adrienne and Megan.Cool!! Back to school.
Sarah Silva
I think my best summer va-cation would be going to Japan.Then I could speak Japanesein that school.
Unsigned
One summer I went to Flori-da. It took two hours and 15minutes. When we got theremy Grandma and Grandpawere waiting for us. My familywent to Grandma's houe. Wewent swimming in the pool. Itwas the best vacation.
Kirstcn Selert
an airplane watching the pilotdrive. I would be famous. Iwould get paid every minute.I'd own a mansion, 5,000 caiand limousines, too! Maybeeven boats, but I doubt i t Myfamily would live in their ownmansion.
The best summer vacationwould be to sit in the front of
We like to have a pool party.We also have a sleepover. It isfun to do. Sometimes we go toRhode Island. It is a Am place.They have bunk beds. It's fun,very fun to be.

New owner, chef at Domino's <BriefsBy JOANNE McFAPOCNFORBES NEWSPAPERS
Like the mailroom person in thelottery commercial who ends upowning the business, Chris Rowehas risen quickly through theranks of Domino's Pizza.
But it was neither luck nor in-stant money that got the 27-year-old owner of two pizza stores to thetop, it was good old-fashionedsweat... first in the car as a driver,then at the oven as a baker.
The Westfield High School grad-uate wanted to be a state trooper,but a "long, very long, hiring freezedashed that dream." said Mr.Rowe, adding the need for moneyled him to respond to a Domino'sad for a driver.
"They have a management pro-gram that, based on your trackrecord and performance, lets youtake advantage of a financing pro-gram and get your own business,"said Mr. Rowe. "For a young kidwith Jots of motivation, it's a greatway to become your own boss."
Mr. Rowe purchased his firstfranchise in South Plainfield threeyears ago, and earlier this year pur-chased the North Avenue franchisein Cranford.
The Cranford store is actuallycelebrating its 10th anniversary,said Mr. Rowe, although over thepast few years its business hasslowed.
"When this store opened, it wasone of the top 2 percent of stores

Now Mr. Rowe is busy advertis-ing the fact that there is new man-agement and a new pizza chef.
"I guarantee a good product,good quality and good service,"said Mr. Rowe. "Ask anyone who
works for me and they'll tell youmy focus is on the customer andcustomer satisfaction. I've got tomake a perfect pizza every time,because I'll only have one chanceto prove that we've changed," hesaid.
The Westfield resident worksnearly 90 hours a week. "If I'm notmaking pizza somewhere, I'msleeping," he said. So it's a goodthing his fiancee, Fernanda DeOl-iveira, is part of the pizza enter-prise.

And then there is his chefPatrick. "He just keeps the cus-tomers in stitches," said Mr. Rowe."We have customers who call backjust to see how he's doing."

Joint tenancy will-substitutewon't work on behalf of heirs
There Are Times In Life WhenYou Need A Little Extra Money
Today, most consumers are well informed enough toknow probate is the last thing they want to leave totheir loved ones.
And with a wiM, probate is almost impossible to avoid.Many Americans look for attematives to wills. Unfortu-
nately, some of these solutions are worse than the prob-lems they are meant to alleviate. Leading the list of failedalternatives is Joint Tenancy.
Often called "the poor man's will," Joint Tenancy avoidsthe need for probate when the first owner dies. But it's onlya short-term solution. When the second owner dies, theentire estate must go through probate.
When you hold property in Joint Tenancy, you give upthe right to allocate when, where and how your assets willbe distributed at your death. Instead, it's winner take all, withthe survivor deciding the disposition of your assets.
If you have children from a previous marriage, you couldinadvertently disinherit them if you hold title to property inJoint Tenancy, Even when children are not a factor, youmay want to think twice about giving up total control overhow your assets are distributed.
Joint Tenancy can be disastrous when used as an estate-taxation planning device. The federal government allowsindividuals to pass on as much as $600,000 in assetsestate-tax free. Married couples are albwed a combinedexemption ol $1.2 million. However, to capture these ex-emptions, you must plan properly. Joint Tenancy gives youno opportunity to do that. Instead, it effectively eliminatesone of the two $600,000 exemptions a married couplewould otherwise be entitled to claim.
Through the Unlimited Marital Deduction, the federal gov-ernment allows spouses to pass assets to one another atthe time of death estate tax-free. However, when the survi-vor dies, estate taxes can loom large, dramatically reducingthe legacy that the couple thought they were leaving be-hind.
Thus far, we've focused on the impact of Joint Tenancyon married couples. But frequently, Joint Tenancy is usedas a method of ownership between non-spouses. Andwhen it is, costly gift taxes are often the result. Also, when
non-spouses hold property in Joint Tenancy, state taxestake an even larger bite out of the estate of the deceased,because when one of the Joint Tenants dies, the entirevalue of their assets is included in his or her estate.
Whenever a Joint Tenant whether spouse of non-spouse, is added to the title of an asset, the governmentconsiders the transaction a gift, not an estate planningstrategy. Gift taxes will become due, and the donor — theperson presumably making the gift — wUI be liable for thetaxes. If you add someone as Joint Tenant on a cashaccount, you will owe gift taxes whenever they withdrawmoney for their own use. If you make someone other than aspouse a Joint Tenant on your personal residence, thegovernment will consider that a gift equal to half your costbasis in the home has been made and demand gift taxesaccordingly.
Some exemptions are available, however. Each year youmay give away as much as much as $10,000 per person toas many individuals as you choose, with no gift taxes due.Gifts in excess of this amount are applied toward a lifetimeexemption of $600,000 — the same exemption appliedtoward reducing your taxable gross estate. If you tail toreport these gifts however, you may end up facing penal-ties.
When you own property with a Joint Tenant, each of youowns half of the assets. Therefore, you effectively havecontrol over only half of the property, and you must obtainyour Joint Tenant's consent before you sell, pledge ascollateral or engage in any other transaction involving thatproperty. Whether or not your Joint Tenant is your spouse,the implications of this exposure to toss are frightening. Forexample, half of your assets held in Joint Tenancy could belost as a result of your Joint Tenant's bad debts, bank-ruptcy, divorce or lawsuits.
Fortunately, you don't have to resort to Joint Tenancy toavoid wills and probate. In fact, all the objectives you mighttry in vain to achieve through Joint Tenancy can heachieved much more effectively through such options as aRevocable Living Trust.

Westfield 11-year-old all-star baseball teamBd the Ant game of the double-elimination play-i the Cranford Tournament, but rebounded em-*1y with two big wins to reach the cham-.»round against Readington.l l ' i fell to local rival Scotch Plains 2-1 in apitchers duel between Westfield's Sal Fazio
SP-Fs Brian Muller to open the double-round, but edged Roselle Park 10-9 Sun-
' and set up a rematch with Scotch Plains Monday_ht, with the loser settling for third place."The kids were a little flat in the first game against
1 itch Plains," said coach Rob Dl. "But, the bottom> is, they came back on Monday and won the gamey had to win."Etcher Jim McKeon came up big for Westfield withtrong outing on the hill to pick up the win, coupledh a damaging night at the plate, going 2 for 4 with
id Key RBI, as the ll's came out on top 17-8 toJvance to the title round against Readington.SMI Fazio also pitched brilliantly in the game and
1 \ three runs on the night, wtuVrightfielder An-Tomasso added a hit and an RBI. Designated
• Taylor McConneU went 2 for 3 with three runsI-three RBI, and Peter Myers, Andrew Odachowskii John Leonardis each chipped in with two RBI.
Sparky Koket was superb behind the plate for the111'* after suffering an injury Saturday as the defensewas solid, something Dl was happy to see.»."Defensively we played well, especially our slick-"elding shortstop Sal Fazio," said Dl. "He's a vacuum.leanpr out there."Weatfleld is scheduled to face Readington in the
* unpionship round and must beat it twice to secure. i title, something El thinks can be done.
X)h yeah, they can do it," said Dl. "This team beat
Readington 5-3 in the Basking Ridge Tournament lastyear. And although we know that they will be toughto beat, our kids can do it if they play as well as theyare capable of playing. If we can hit the ball like wehave been doing the last few games, we can win twoin a row."
Westfield's other playoff win came over RosellePark Sunday 1<M> in an extra-inning thriller. PeteMyers started on the mound, was relieved by To-masso and Odachowski came on in the seventh andeighth to secure the win.
The game was locked 0-9 going into the bottom ofthe eighth when Kevin MuUaney singled and NeilCiemniecki, was hit by a pitch to put runners at firstand second.
John Brunetto then lined a clutch single to scoreMullaney and the ll's were into the championshipround.
Earlier in the game Gerritt m stroked a pair ofdoubles for two RBI, and McKeon showed great ver-satility by nailing two greedy runners from behindthe plate to quell rallies.
12-YEAR-OLD TEAMThe Westfield 12-year-old baseball team won three
out of its last four games to push its record to 4-1 forthe post-season. The 12's rolled over Springfield 8-2as Pat MacMahon blasted two home runs and pitchedfour shutout innings with 11 strikeouts. Jeff Gabrielthen pitched well in relief to pick up the save.
In earlier action, the Blue Devils defeated Living-ston 11-9 behind the gutty relief pitching of DavidKing, and the timely hitting of Mike Mroz, JasonMcDonald and David Yatczyszyn, who each doubledin the sixth inning to key a game-winning rally.
THe 12's also defeated Florham Park 11-6 withChris Giacone pitching well to record the victory. Gia-cone struck out six in three innings, allowing onlyone unearned run. Glenn Hurley was the offensivestar with three RBI.

! Westfield's American Legionkquad is trying to get the best ofboth worlds.• "We're kind of in the middle ofthose two philosophies," said Headpoach Bill Hedden. "We like to
E've some of our graduating se-ors and college kids a chance to
bolster the team, while we mix inthe high school kids, who'll beplaying for the varsity next year."
So far the plan has gotten mixedresults as Hedden has had dif-ficulty fielding a regular squad,due to work commitments and va-cations for the players. The team is5-9, and must win the lion's shareof it's remaining games to qualifyfor the playoffs later this month.
Westfield got on the right trackSaturday with a 6-5 win overSpringfield as Dan Garry pitchedwell in picking up the win. Keyingthe offense for Westfield was Co-lumbia University's Chris Vogel,who went 2 for 3 and drove in thewinning run, and second basemanBob Meyer, who added a triple.Shortstop Jay White and Ron Nobi-

THE RECORD
Eleven players sharing a singlegoal was impossible to beat
The Central Jersey Stars Under-19 women's soccer team completedanotheR highly-successful cam-paign under head coach andfounder Keith Hertell. A title at thePocono Cup July 2 enabled theStars to become the first team everto win the Westfield Cup, the Jer-sey Area Girls Soccer cham-pionship and the Pocono Cup.
"The key to this team was ourdepth and the the singleminded-ness of our players," said Hertell."There was zero ego on this team.Any coach will tell you that it helpshaving players altruistic playersand I was fortunate enough tocoach just such a team."
Hertell's club put forth a her-culean effort at the Pocono Cup.The Stars played six games in twodays in the extreme heat of EastStroudsburg, Pa.
"Since our team had no ego, Iwas able to capitalize upon theflexibility of these players," saidHertell. "Since we were playing somany games in only two days, Iswitched girls around wheneverthey were getting tired. We hadversatile players who could do it alland that really helps a team."
Hertell was truly impressed withthe team's emphasis on the impor-tance of t-e-a-m."
"The team came first, secondand there was nothing else," saidHertell. "We played teams that hadmore talented soccer players thanthe ones we put on the field — butthere was no better team whoplayed the game of soccer to-gether."
Suzy Folger, a recent graduate ofWestfield High School who will
play for Fairfield this fall, was oneof the leading scorers for the Stars.
"We had a lot of seniors on thisteam and we just worked reallywell together," said Folger. "It'sfun to win — but I formed a lot ofclose relationships with the otherplayers and that's what I will re-member more than anything."
While Folger was putting the ballin the net, Ann Keegan was roam-ing the midifeld. Keegan will playfor Coach Hertell at Scotch Plains-Fanwood High again this fall.
"Ann Keegan dominated themidfield," said Hertell. "I knowsome people might disagree, butAnn might be the best player inUnion County and certainly one ofthe best players in the state."
"It's fun playing soccer whenyou know you have an excellentchance of winning when you takethe field," said Keegan. "Every-body knew their job on this teamand we just worked together to ac-complish our goals."
Hertell felt this was the deepestteam he ever coached.
"We have girls come from allover — a lot of people say this isthe most successful teams in thestate," said Hertell, noting that theStars have won four Pocono Cupsand no other team has one morethan one. "1 would like to take thecredit for this team — but it's allabout the girls."
Other local players included thefuture captain of the WestfieldHigh School team, Jessica Cz.tr.Other girls from Westfield includedLaura Todd, Brooke Wiley, MeganSheehy, and Kerry Humphreys.
Natasha Vasavada joined Keeganas representatives of Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School. Yvette Bro-derick played for Union Catholicand will be playing at Mitchell Col-lege this fall.
record for participants."The competition was just excel-
lent," said Martin. "More peoplebroke 20 minutes than ever before,which is great for the race. This isa people's race and the competitionand support from volunteers andfans was just incredible."
Race Director John Bashawagreed.
"The whole day went real well,"said Bashaw. "The volunteers werejust terrific and Sgt John Baer dida wonderful job with the trafficcontrol. And we also had a motor-cycle leading the race for the firsttime. And what more can you sayabout the competitors? The winner(Kairouni) was very gracious in vic-tory and showed his gratitude tothe cheering crowd by bowing tothem after he crossed the finishline."
Cranford's Mike Hamett was thetop local finisher, placing 21st in21:28, while Westfield's Adam Bar-can took 27th in 21:37 and Cran-ford's Kurt Krause was 34th in21:57. Cranford's Maggie Morrowwas fifth overall for the women,coming in at 23:22.
"I was very pleased with therace," said Barcan, who just gradu-ated from Westfield High where heran track under Martin, and tookfirst place in the 14-19 year-oldage-group. "It was very competi-tive, and that keeps the times high,because of the pace. Two years agoI placed 13th in my age-group andI wanted to improve, but I wasn'tsuns I would win."
Krause was back in town aftercompleting his freshman year atAllegheny College, Pa., where hestarred for the track team beforesuffering a leg injury, and washappy to get back to his roots.
"It was great to come back andsee the local track people, like RayWhite, who got me involved intrack when I was in seventhgrade," said Krause of CranfordHigh's longtime track coach. "I feellike it's a good tradition to run inthis race. It's my fourth year in arow, and every year the supportfrom the fans is terrific. This year Ieven won a Casio watch and din-ner for two at the Cranford Hotel.It was a good race, and a greatday."

Should high school athletes be role models?EWE RECORDI
i Madison Avenue hawks softprinks by imploring youngsters toj'Be 5ike Mike," while professionaleneaker salesman Charles Barkley^razfnly replies, "1 am not a rolefrnodjl."• While the debate about pro•ports rages on, the recent Su-trerrie Court decision allowingfcchool districts to randomly drug-Jbest high school athletes, unequivo-<cally recognizes students who playfechool sports as role models.5 "It seems to us self-evident that» drug problem largely flieled bytfte 'role model' effect of athletes'Wug use ... is effectively addressedby-making sure that athletes donot use drugs," wrote Justice Anto-
nin Scalia for the majority.Cranford High Athletic Director
Bob Lelli agrees with the decision."Maybe I'm like a dinosaur, but
when I was a kid I not only lookedup to President Eisenhower, but toMickey Mantle, too," said Lelli."Let's face it. Athletics are a part ofa school that draws attention. Ath-letes set an example for other kidsand should be positive influences."
Scotch Plains-Fanwood High ADGene Schiller acknowledged theinordinate amount of attention onathletes, but was wary of the ath-letes-only precedent.
"Athletes do stand out more andare more visible, so I think theyshould be held out as role models,"said Schiller. "The big thing here,is the randomness. We have nocause to suspect kids who could be
tested, and that could be seen asan invasion of privacy by the stu-dents."
Westfield High's triple-threat starBrian Ciemniecki, who plays onthe baseball, football and basket-ball teams, was originally stonecold to the idea, but his stancethawed somewhat after longer con-sideration.
"I don't know how you can takea high school kid and make him arole model," said Ciemniecki. "ButI guess it is a little true that young-er kids may come to the gamesand look up to us. So, maybe it'snot too much to ask. I really don'tknow. I agree we should set an ex-ample, but I still don't think weshould be drug-tested."
Cranford High's own three-sportathlete Donna Polito. who leads the
Drug Testingin
High SchoolSports
field hockey, softball and basket-ball teams, doesn't mind the rolemodel tag, so much as the specific
targeting of the moniker."We are looked up to. That's just
the way life is. How you act on thefield and carry yourself off it, issomething that is looked at Thatmakes us role models," said Polito."But it's not just sports. Actors arelooked up to, but students in theschool play won't be tested. Musi-cians are looked up to, but theband won't be tested. They are rolemodels too."
Westfield High AD Ed Tranchinarecognizes the stricter rules ath-letes endure by being held up asrole models and concurs with thecourt.
"Athletes are held to a higherstandard," said Tranchina "I knowit could lead to a feeling that ath-letes are being singled out, becauseit's not the same standard that
other extra-curricular activity isjudged by. But my concern is ath- •letics, and I think it's a good,thing." :
Whether or not a high school |student/athlete should be expected']to carry the added burden of role;model, is outweighed by the posi-."tives of such a role, according to,Schiller.
"Every one of our athletes arerole models, because they make acommitment to the team, school, .fellow students and the community,when they join a team," said-Schiller. "But that is the essence^and purpose of high school athlet-^ics. To encourage the kind of well-srounded student who grows and is^helpful to himself and society." 5

The new Mitsubishi Diamante is themaker's most luxurious vehicle and sol-diers on for '95 virtually unchanged.
The car is available as a four-door sedanas well as the traditional station wagon,and offers a lengthy list of desirable "op-tions" as standard features. Available onlyin upscale LS trim (the lower-priced ESsedan is now for fleet use and special salesonly), our test sedan is equipped withsome of the most technologically advancedmechanical components on the markettoday.
OutsideThe Diamante faces tough competition
from luxury marques using trendy aerostyling. Introduced in 1991, the Diamante'snose is sloped forward and its tail issquared and drops sharply.
In spite of its somewhat dated appear-ance, a low 0.30 coefficient of drag assistsin cheating wind resistance, which isn'tsurpassed by many vehicles. Slight stylingtweaks from last year include revisedlower body cladding that melds its wayinto small fender flares and body-coloredbumpers, as well as a few new exteriorcolors. Both sedan and wagon are offeredwith five-spoke alloy wheels as standardequipment.
InsideStandard Diamante equipment includes
tinted glass, keyless entry, a seven-waypower driver's seat, cruise control, auto-matic climate control and leather uphol-stery. There's no extra charge for itemssuch as steering wheel controls for thestereo, variable speed intermittent wipers,power windows, mirrors and door locks,and an automatic day/night inside mirror.A 210-watt Mitsubishi/Infinity AM/FM cas-sette stereo with eight speakers is part ofthe Diamante's standard package.
The Diamante is regarded as a five-passenger vehicle, although four will beluxuriously transported without complaint,Diamante's driver's seat is highly ad-justable, and features a two-position mem-ory, while a power passenger seat is op-tional.
Diamante's controls are well-placed, butan overwhelming number of knobs,switches and gadgets make pre-trip famil-iarization necessary. It's definitely a ve-hicle for the owner who wants comfortwith lots of custom items.
On the roadThe Diamante is commendably smooth
and quiet, due in part to its silky 3.0 liter,
24-valve V6 engine. Twin overhead cam-shafts and multipoint fuel injection assistin giving the car almost undetectable idleand acceleration, although the car's 202horsepower is all but tapped to move the3700-pound vehicle.
But it's highway speeds that bring outthe best in the Diamante. Depressing itsthrottle from 50 mph produces enoughforce to comfortably and quickly overtakeslower vehicles. All Diamantes come witha four-speed automatic transmission whichis controlled via a computerized program.It senses driving parameters and automati-cally revises shift points for smoothershifting.
Behind the wheelUnderpinnings include MacPherson
struts up front, and a sophisticated multi-link rear suspension consisting of oneupper and two lower lateral links. Bodyroll is controlled with front and rear stabi-lizer bars. Four wheel disc brakes arestandard on both Diamante models, whilean anti-lock braking system (ABS) isstandard on the sedan and optional on thewagon. As an option, Mitsubishi offers itsTraction/Trace control which utilizes con-ventional traction control to reduce wheel-spin on slippery surfaces, while Trace con-trol hc-)ps minimize understeer during cor-nering.
The Diamante is no star at the racetrack, of course, and isn't meant to be, asundersteer becomes heavy when hustlingthrough corners. The car takes 43 feet tocomplete a circle, about average for a carthis size. Virtually all drivers can custom-tailor a perfect driving position, and eventhe most jaded stereo connoisseur willenjoy the great sound of the optional 6-disc CD changer.
Diamante delivers much of the luxuriousdriving pleasure found in cars costing over$50,000, while slipping in at just under$40,000 with every option added.
SafetyMitsubishi offers dual airbags, 4-wheel
ABS, and side-impact beams, along withchildproof rear door locks.
OptionsTraction control adds $718, while a six-
disc CD changer costs $739, a power glasssunroof is $954 extra and power passengerside seat pushes Diamante's sticker priceup by $490.
PriceThe manufacturer's suggested retail
price is $35,250. As tested, the Diamantewill cost $38,621.
Tip-top tire treads can keepyour vehicle rolling along
One of the easiest parts of a car tocheck is the most ignored, according toa statistical report from the Car CareCouncil.
Tires topped the list of neglectedcomponents during the 1994 NationalCar Care Month vehicle check cam-paign. Thirty one percent of cars hadimproperly inflated tires or excessivelyworn tread.
Overall, 87 percent of cars checkedfailed the inspection for some kind ofmaintenance neglect. Nearly one out of
•five failed the emissions test, an impor-tant aspect of the vehicle check cam-paign.
"Excessive hydrocarbons in the ex-haust, a sign of poor combustion due toa dirty air filter or worn spark plugs,causes wasted gas and polluted air,"said Donna Wagner, executive directorof National Car Care Month.
"We've found an increase in neglectin other areas as well," she said. "Eachyear, from 1988 through 1994, for ex-ample, an average 7 percent of vehiclesfailed inspection due to faulty wind-
shield wipers. In 1994, that percentagehad increased to 14 percent."
"Also, 16.2 percent of vehicles faileddue to low or dirty fluids (motor oil,transmission, power steering 6r brakefluid), up from an average of 15.2 per-cent over the previous four years.Twenty percent had one or more lightsinoperative."
"Ninety four percent of vehicles 10years old or older needed main-tenance," Ms. Wagner said.
The voluntary inspection program ispart of an annual campaign designed tofocus public attention on the benefits ofproper car care. Maintenance neglectleads to air pollution, wasted fuel andpremature wear, emphasizes the coun-cil. Further, a neglected car is a safetyhazard.
The statistical report, produced byCar Care Council in cooperation withthe Automotive Market Research Coun-cil, is based on inspection of 6,569 ve-hicles in 31 cities.

I have a '92 Chevrolet S10I pickup with an automatic
. ^ transmission. My first set ofbrake pads went 18,000 miles.
I used to drive a big passengercar of the same weight and havealways gotten around 40,000 on thefront brakes. My dealer said thetransmission is part of the problembecause driving all the time inoverdrive reduces the brakingpower of engine compression. Thebrake shop that replaced the padssa||d the brakes aren't engineeredfdr. the load they must handle andthe'y wear out faster because of it.
Someone else told me the pads
no longer contain asbestos, and thenew materials don't last as long.Another said the wear is caused byan imbalance between the anti-skid brake system that uses drumbrakes in the rear and discs in thefront. General Motors told me theydid not have an excess number ofcomplaints on the life of the brakepads, but that they would log mycomplaint and would contact me ifthey later determined that therewas a problem.
AI don't think General Motorswould start a log on S10brake wear unless it had
cause for concern. Others havewritten me with the same problemon late model SlOs. The frontbrakes do up to 70 percent of the
stopping of a vehicle, but if some-thing in the system isn't balancedcorrectly {front-to-rear brake linepressure, ABS application, etc.), thefronts can do more without thedriver being aware of the problem.If your brake shop put harder padson your truck, they should lastlonger, but if the rotors wear out,too, then you'll know that the prob-lem is a design flaw.

QMy Ford Mustang is a '83model with a six-cylinderengine and an automatic
transmission. There's a little over110,000 miles on the car. When it'sidling, there is a kind of rattlingnoise coming from the middle ofthe car, but it goes away once 1
accelerate. When I level off andcruise, the noise comes back butnot as loud. A friend who knowsabout cars says I need to have thetransmission overhauled, but I'vepriced it out and I'm not sure thecar is worth the expense.
You're between a rock and ahard place when you have to
;igh the cost of an expen-sive repair against how much life isleft in an old car. I'd guess yourproblem is that a crack has devel-oped around the bolts holding thedrive plate that connects the en-gine crankshaft to the transmis-sion, and not the transmission it-self. Eventually the center of theplate breaks all the way around,and then your Mustang is out of
business. The problem with tryingto sell off your Mustang before theplate breaks completely is that youhave to find someone who is wiU-ing to buy your troubles. Have atransmission shop analyze theproblem and give you a bid on therepair and have a mechanic checkout the car to see if anything elseis marginal. From there on, it's acrapshoot: Maybe it will give you afew more years of service andmaybe it won't.

<• FORBES NEWSPAPERS
- Once it was thought that the Americanmagazine industry would go the way of thedodo bird, extinct and a memory.
Movies and television were supposed todrive nails into the coffin of the magazineworld.
It didn't happen, of course, and there arenow more magazines on the racks than
'^'ever before — but they're a different genre** from those of the '30s and '40s. It's an age
of periodical specialization and no segmentof the industry supports this assumption
• more than those that cover the automotive.'world. Peruse even the small magazine
^ 'stand at your local convenience store andi you'll find a half-dozen of them.
The established icons of us autophiles'_• are still Road & Track, Car and Driver,<',.Motar Trend, Hot Rod and AutoWeek, with' 'the upstart Automobile magazine coming„-' up fast. As I pointed out recently, they
'have changed since those early days of the- '50s, but still have almost a million sub-scribers each (albeit often the same indi-.viduals) and, as it's been said, "...success is
L the sole judge of right and wrong."*• But look at the magazine section of a
major book store if you really want an eye-I opener. There are literally dozens of auto
magazines available and all have indi-vidual personalities and cater to a different
'""niche. But even then there are car mag-', azines available by subscription only and•" cater to a truly narrow segment of the auto
world. These are the "oddball" car mag-azines I receive:
AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERING - Thisaugust tome is the official monthly publi-cation of the prestigious Society of Auto-motive Engineers and has been publishedsince the very earliest days of the industry.I'm not an engineer and find that much ofthe text in AE is either over my head orputs me to sleep but the organization hasan Affiliate Membership program for guys
Originally it was the Road & Track of itsday but after the Second World War, itswitched and became a technical journalfor practicing mechanics and independentshop owners.

There are car magazines available by subscription only that caterto a truly narrow segment of the auto world. These are the'oddball' car magazines

While AE is full of really technicalstuff ("Recycling RIM polymers into auto-motive fascia" and "Gas analyzers for low-emission vehicle testing" were articles inrecent issues), it also has technical andmarketing information like the prolifera-tion of mini- vans in Europe or the detailsof the newest Aston Martin VI2 and doesthem in more depth than the buff mag-azines. It also has lots of ads for companieslike Thermoid ("No one knows hose betterthan Thermoid"} and Morton ("Mortonwrote the book on thermoplastic selec-tion") in case you want to start your ownauto manufacturing business.
MOTOR — This magazine is as techni-cal in it's own way as Automotive Engi-neering and has been around since 1903.

SPECIAL INTEREST AUTOS — A realfavorite. SIA is for the hobby motorist whomay drive his home-restored '62 BuickWildcat Hardtop (Model 4647) on the week-ends and spends the evenings readingabout the mechanical virtues of the '36 La-Salle as opposed to the kindred '35Oldsmobile. There's lots of history in thepages of each SCI ("Blueprinting — JimmyMurphy races an American Duesenberg inFrance in 71" and "Trie unique Nomad IIIhousecar") plus features on marque andmodel history using reader's cars as color
centerpieces. As you can imagine, the adsare for parts, tools and services.
MOPAR PERFORMANCE NEWS -Strictly for hot-rod enthusiasts of theChrysler persuasion, Mopar PerformanceNews is put out by Chrysler for its RaceTeam amateur club members, dealers andthe press. It's got drag race stories aboutDodges new and old, highly technical tipson making them go faster and handle bet-ter, and short vignettes about reader's suc-cessful racers. The ads are for Chrysler-made parts and the locations of the dealernetwork where they can be bought. Fordand Chevy owners need not apply.
CONSUMER REPORTS — An automo-bile magazine? Well, not totally •— until theApril issue comes out. At that point, theentire magazine is devoted to all sorts ofimportant auto stuff (leasing tips, the bestused car buys, new cars coming up, etc),Other times, Consumer Reports confines it-self to doing three or four road tests everymonth. The text is rather dry, but prettymuch objective. The cover of the magazineproclaims that it's a non-profit organizationand the pages contain no advertising. Andthat's true — unless you count the pro-motional ads for its own ancillary productslike "Automobile Facts by Fax" ($7.75each) or "Keep Your Car Running Practi-cally Forever" ($11.95).
All the car magazines aren't located onmagazine racks. Some of them are so spe-cialized that they have to be ferreted out,and I'm looking forward to an upcomingone that's really specialized — it's calledsimply Convertible.

New coolantsare friendly toenvironment,and drivers
NAPS-Now that the chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) refrigerant (R12) incar air conditioners is being phasedout because of its harmful effectsto the ozone layer, you may bewondering how best to keep coolon the road.
It's a good question, since manyof the 10 million vehicles comingoff warranty this year may requirerefrigerant changeovers.
Happily, a non-ozone depletingrefrigerant (R134a) has been cho-sen as a replacement for R12.Rl34a is now available at servicestations, car dealers and A/C shopsacross them country. The lubri-cants used with R134a are polyal-kylene glycols (PAGs). Inventedand produced by Union Carbide,PAGs have been chosen by manyauto manufacturers for use in newvehicles. Valvoline Car Care Prod-ucts, a division of Ashland Inc.,markets PAG's under the Pyroiltrademark for the retrofit marketas RLr244 and RL-488.
Interestingly, PAGS have someadditional advantages when com-pared to the mineral oil lubricantsused in R12 systems. PAGs pro-vide better low temperature prop-erties and superior high tempera-ture lubricity. ;

Volkswagen's history in LLS.is both proud and long
HAfilN
sales techniques rivalingthose of snake oilsalesmen a
was these
Forbes Newspapers
Volkswagen must have acquired a new nationaladvertising company. And for the most part, thatcompany must employ mostly young people intheir 30s and 40s.
This is evident from the current crop of Volk-swagen television spots that grandly announce"Volkswagen arrived in the U.S. in 1955 with excit-ing cars" and go on to describe the current crop ofVolkswagen automobiles.
My own feeling is that the ad writers themselvesprobably "arrived in the U.S. in 1955" or there-about.
There were lots of Volkswagens in this countrybefore '55, a fact to which I can personally attest.What those TV commercials really mean is Volk-swagen of America (VWoA) was formed that yearto assume distribution of theubiquitous Beetle. Before that, ~ '. 7~. ~~ ~Volkswagen sedans were Regional importers usedbrought in by regional im-porters who used sales tech-niques rivaling those used bysnake oU salesmen a centurybefore. The difference wasthese VW enthusiasts had agreat product to sell and thereal problem was to get Ameri- enthusiasts had a greatcans to wake up to that fact. °
My first exposure to a Volk- prOOUCt tO Sellswagen was the random obser-vation of one in front of a used car lot in Berkeleyin 1952. It was red and without a doubt the mosthomely car I'd ever seen outside of the ill-fatedChrysler Airflow of the mid-'30s. I was fresh out ofhigh school and even then enamored of foreigncars and the fact that the little car bore a strikingresemblance to the fabled Porsche that I'd seenracing at the old track at Pebble Beach. Later I'dlearn that the two cars — the Porsche and theVolkswagen — had been designed by FerdinandPorsche, an automotive genius, whose industrialidol was Henry Ford.
That Volkswagen I'd spotted had been broughtup to Berkeley by John von Neumann, a foreigncar dealer and amateur sports car racer from LosAngeles. Von Neumann was buying Volkswagensone at a time from Max Hoffman, another foreigncar dealer located in New York, whose main busi-ness was the selling of Rolls-Royce, Jaguar, andother pricey European makes to enthusiasts on theEast Coast. The distribution of Volkswagens in thelate '40s and early '50s could be best described as"trickle-down" economics; if an enterprising "carguy" could afford to buy u couple from Hoffman,he became a dealer. No need to worry about parts
or service, a lack of those amenities were taken forgranted by those of us bitten by the bug.
In those days, the major competition that VWdealers had to face didn't come from Detroit: Ford, •Chevrolet, Plymouth and the rest considered theBeetle a joke if they gave the car any thought atall. The passenger cars that Volkswagen had tooutsell came from England in the form of Hill-mans and Austins, cars that were traditional indesign (water-cooled engine in the front, transmis-sion in the middle and solid axle driving wheels in ,the rear), and sold, for the most part, from conven- ,tional sales rooms. The concept of an air-cooiedengine mounted under the back scat was just too— well — "foreign."
The VW had another hurtle to overcome, onethat was more emotional than practical. The carhad been designed by Porsche to be Adolph Hit- •ler's "People's Car" and immediately alter the end >•
• of World War II, things that in- .voked the image of Dor Fuhrerwere greeted with something less 'than open aims. The Volkswagen 'concept and, indeed, its very ex-istence had been rescued in '45by a group of occupying BritishArmy officers who had seen first-hand the advantages of a small,tough, well engineered, air-eooU"dvehicle during the desert war inNorth Africa.
The German Army's "kuhHwn-gen" (bucketcar) was, in reality, a
Volkswagen Beetle in an army uniform andliterally run circles around the; heavy and over-heated British and American military vehicles.
The first Volkswagen to be "officially" importedinto the U.S. arrived in 1950 and tunneled throughHoffman's newly appointed New York distributor-ship. Most of those were in turn sold off to variousdealers oast of the Rockies. In all, Hoffman putsome 300 VWs on the road in 1050, hardly ;i notable achievement in a country that had purchased6.G million American-built machines that sameyear. By 1953, there were 2,173 Bugs on the Ameri-can streets, according to official count. In F.urope,the production of the cur was so strong that theentire demand of U.S. buyers for that year couldroll off the Wolfsburg assembly line in less than aday and a half.
So the 40th anniversary of Volkswagen in Amer-ica is, in reality, the 40th anniversary of Volkswa-gen of America. And what a pity that the companydoesn't capitalize on its early years in this country.It could be the basis of a Danny DeVito "hustler"movie.

Rust, junk and antiquesFORBES NEWSPAPERS
It!s a big auto world out thereand] there are many facets to it be-sides the shiny face of new cars.
•rfie "business" side of the busi-nesi is one that bores me, to behonest In truth, I'm much moreenthralled by the prospect ofwatching a good auto race (wasn'tthat last NASCAR event at SearsPoint a cliflhanger?) or strollingamong the patrician Packarda andPiefce-Arrows at a concourse (JayLeno's '36 Delahaye was stunningat Pebble Beach!) than sitting in ona press conference on the cor-porate projections for 1996.
But even better, I like autoevents that allow me to participate.Hie last race I entered was thetrans-Baja event in '67 (I'm still re-cuperating) and the last concourseI had a car in "gigged" me for adented fender. Hist was in '62 andI still feel humiliated.
And so my automotive participa-tion must be limited to less rigor-ous events and last weekend I en-tered one that has it all; com-petition, glamour, intrigue, historyand several other interesting as-pects of automotive culture.
I bought a booth in an automo-tive swap meet.
There's a great deal of difference
between your local weekly fleamarket and an aficionado's auto•wap meet A flea market is whereyou go to sell your old furnitureand clothes, buy someone else'sold furniture and clothes and gohome. An automotive swap meet iswhere you go to meet old friends,swap stories about ancient racesyou've entered or watched, drinkbeer and eat fried chicken, com-miserate about the lack-luster cropof new cars and perform verbal"credentials checks" with other oldtimers who have wandered pastyour booth and you've just met.
And occasionally you might sellan old auto part or accessory thatyou pulled out of the garage for theoccasion.
These events are only fun if yougo with a friend who is a kindredspirit and whose company you canenjoy from early in the morninguntil the middle of the afternoon. Iwent with Marv Odegard (a fellowteacher at the high school where Ihold forth as the auto shop in-structor) and Gary Penn, an ex-student from my first year as ateacher in 72. Both are "car guys"and fit company for a day of auto-mobiling. We arrived at 7 a.m. anddiscovered that the place (the park-ing lot of our local fair grounds)was already packed with purvey-ors.
Fortunately, I was assigned aspot near the bathrooms and thelunch stand and thus was assureda maximum amount of foot traffic.My vintage van was stuffed withsome treasures from my 45 yearsof the collecting auto stuff and Iparked it in my slot Then thethree of us began a leisurely tourto see what our fellow peddlers hadto offer. We soon discovered thatchecking out the other guy's collec-tion was as much or more fun thanselling our own.
Gary's specialty is old Pontiacparts in general and Pontiac mus-cle car parts in particular. He im-mediately zeroed in on a booth thatdisplayed a collection of Pontiac"TVi-Power," three carburetor in-take manifolds from the '60s andbegan his own "credential swap"with the owner. Gary knows a lotabout Pontiac hot rod parts andsoon discovered that the booth'sowner was easily as "hip" as Garyhimself.
And the day was fairly successfulfor us. I sold several copies of aposter I had printed for me someyears ago, a case of oil of a brandthat I no longer use and an oldPinto engine. Marv sold a half-dozen custom note pads, a few hatsand two bumper stickers. I won'tgo into what the bumper stickerssaid since this is a family newspa-per.
Beeps and whistles don't endneed for regular maintenance
Recent commercials advertise new cars that appearvirtually maintenance-free. Many have message cen-ters that warn drivers about everything from an inop-erable brake light to low oil level.
With these impressive advancements, is the needfor regular checks a thing of the past?
"Hardly," says Don Midgley, president of the CarCare Council, Port Clinton, Ohio. "Computerized mes-sage centers should help owners maintain safer, moreefficient cars. But these warnings are worthless if themotorist ignores them."
Whether or not your vehicle is equipped with all ofthe bells and whistles that technology has to offer, itis wise to check, or have checked the following items:
Cooling system — Flush, drain and replace anti-freeze. Test, inspect and replace needed parts.
Engine — Diagnostic and tune-up services areneeded. Oil and filter change should be done, and allfluids should be checked.
Tires/wheelsVbrakcs — Rotate, inspect and balance
your tires. Check the alignment and suspension com-ponents. Inspect the braking system.
"With more than 15,000 parts in a vehicle, and eightout of 10 cars needing some type of maintenance, it'samazing that more motorists don't have problems,"Mr. Midgley says.
More than 2,000 traffic fatalities a year are directlyattributable to mechanical failure due to neglect. Itonly takes one defective tire or a faulty wiper blade toput your car and possibly your safety on the line. Itmay be tough to rush to an automotive technicianevery time a warning light blinks, but to do otherwiseis to play Russian roulette with your car.
For more information on recommended checks andservices, send for a free pamphlet "How to Find YourWay Under the Hood and Around the Car." Send abusiness-sized, stamped, self-addressed envelope toCar Care Council, Dept. UH, One Grande Lake Drive,Port Clinton, OH 43452.

NJAR: Flat tax will hurt homeownersEDISON - The elimination of
real estate taxes and mortgage in-terest deductions as outlined inthe "flat tax" proposals on CapitolHill would cause existing homeprices in New Jersey to fall nearly20 percent overnight, according toa survey commissioned by theNew Jersey Association of Real-tors.
The DRI/McGraw-Hill surveyalso found existing home salesfalling 17 percent in 1996 and 12percent in 1997, In relation to NewJersey households, the surveyfound it very likely the middleclass would be hardest hit facinghigher taxes as they would see thevalue of their homes decline, leav-ing many with no equity and noinvestment vehicle for the future.
"Besides its impact on real es-tate and household wealth, a flat
tax would affect the relative bur-den on households across the statedifferentially. Exactly who the win-ners and losers would be is a com-plex issue/' said Robert L Kin-niebrew, NJAR president-elect andbroker owner of Century 21 Can-did Realty in Willingboro. '"typi-cally, middle-class New Jerseyansrely heavily on their deductions,namely mortgage interest, and donot have the interest and dividendincome exempt under the flat taxproposals. Therefore, it would ap-pear, the middle class would bethe hardest hit"
Hie survey dted New Jersey ashaving the second highest house-hold income in the nation andamong the highest average homemortgages. In addition, New Jer-sey residents enjoy deductionshigher than the national average
- 16,4 percent of adjusted grossincome compared with a U.S. av-erage of 13,8 percent. As a result,the impact of a flat tax on NewJersey's real estate sector and resi-dents' household wealth will benegative.
"Eliminating the deducibility ofmortgage interest would not onlyraise our residents' taxes, butwould sharply increase the netmortgage payments for currenthomeowners, making it impossiblefor some to afford their homes,"said Mr. Kinniebrew. "Simplifying
the tax code to a post-card typereturn is an attractive concepthowever the aftermath of suchsimplicity to taxpayers and theeconomy is far too harmful.'1
Congressman Richard Armey(R-Texas), a chief proponent andauthor of the flat tax proposal thestudy is based on (The Freedomand Fairness Restoration Act), iscalling on shifting the UnitedStates from the current system ofincome taxation to the equivalentof a value-added tax. The proposedtax is popularly referred to as a"flat tax" because the net incomestreams defined as the tax base forany business or individual wouldbe subject to a single tax rate re-gardless of the magnitude of thatincome.
The introduction of a flat taxsystem, presumably in 1996, would
significantly alter economic activ-ity in New Jersey and the UnitedStates. Near term, the surveyfound, the balance of tax burdenswould shift slightly from busi-nesses to households, The residen-tial real estate sector would experi-ence an immediate and permanentdrop in pretax home values.
"The flat tax would remove allgovernment incentives for owner-occupied single family houses. In-terest and property taxes wouldnot be deductible, thus the after-tax cost of housing would rise,"said Mr. Kinniebrew. "Anotheritem for New Jerseyans to con-sider is the rate at which we willbe taxed It may start at 17 to 20percent, but what's to stop a Con-gress always looking to raise newrevenue to increase this number to20 to 25 to even 30 percent in afew yean?"

Hanks for thememories
Always on the lookout for tackycelebrity museums, Weekend Con-/Wentfal recently found ourselvesat the Hank WUUami Jr. Museumand Gift Shop in Nashville, Tenn.
Walking through the door waslike entering tome sort of Routinemeets The Beveiiy Hillbillies purPtory.
Women with hairdos that wouldmake Marge Simpson jealous ex-amined Hank Jr. ashtrays andspoon rests while tinging along topiped-in Musak versions of HankJr. daisies. Meanwhile, their malecounterparts stood in the nextaisle, chuckling loudly as theyread bumper stickers with sloganslike "If you dont like Hank, youcan kiss my •••" and "HI give upmy gun when they pry my cold,dead fingers from around i t"
We made our way through thei tft shop to the museum entrance,paid our admission, and enteredthe world of Hank Williams Jr. Westood amazed as we viewed HankJr.'s baby rattle, his first rifle, hisfirst cowboy hat, his first Cadillac,his first whiskey boltle...
In fact, we were so enthralled bythe exhibit of trivial items, wedidn't even have time to visit UieGeorge Jones Museum and GiftShop located across the street.Maybe next time.
Vipe the smileoff our faces
Being a sucker for roller coast-ers, Weekend Confidential had tomake a trip to Great Adventurerecently to check out the newViper we'd heard so much about
Our party of eight sought outthe Viper as soon as we got in thepark that morning, figuring there'dbe a huge line. We arrived to find.„ no line whatsoever, and only alonely attendant telling us the ride"might be up later tonight."
"Gee, it's been open a total of,like, three days, and it's alreadybroken," we thought
Perhaps our little group wascursed The "Scream Machine"managed to shut down while wewere on line and the "Right StuffMach 2" ride closed prematurelyfor "technical difficulties" beforewe even made it over there.
Later, on the Ferris wheel, welooked and we saw that - lo andbehold - the Viper was running.We did everything short of a swandive out of our car to make it overthere.
Once on board, Viper sped andtwisted through drops and curvesthat left us thoroughly shaken up.

"It's a little too short," said onegroup member afterwards.
Grant himhis wish
The cynical, old side of WeekendConfidential can't help but feelthere's no such thing as bad pub-
licity. With that in mind, we're pre-dicting a box office smash forHugh Grant's new movie NineMonths.
About 800 of 1,000 sneak pre-view screenings sold out thisweekend, suggesting the lovableEnglish scoundrel may survive re-cent tribulations Bill Clinton-style.
This movie has a real buzz about
it, generated in part by someslightly psychic PR.
Weekend Confidential paused inalmost reverent disbelief beforebursting into laughter at a localtheater recently.
The projectionist was surelyplaying a surreal prank, as in thetrailer Grant had his mugshottaken. Priceless promotion.

Discovering the life in a day of Bound Brook(Continued from page Page 4)
In every neighborhood I passed that day,lawni were dotted with "For Sale" signs, 1wondered why all these people wouldabandon the land of Wally and the Beaver.
I headed home, highly caffcinated anddetermined to get down to business.
But the walk didn't inspire me too muchso I thought maybe going for a drive mightI got in the old roadster and headed down-town. Traffic tapers off in the late morningso it wasn't too difficult getting out of thedriveway. For as much as I complain aboutthe traffic volume on 28,1 suppose it ishealthy for some of the businesses alongthe road which can be considered, argu-ably, the new Main Street Of course theChamber of Commerce and a whole host ofmerchants would disagree. The town's revi-talization program has been in place for anumber of years, and some believe it isreally beginning to take root
1 pulled into a spot across from the trainstation and plunked a couple of dimes inthe meter; that gave me a whole hour toprocrastinate. 1 knew I had to come up withsomething, some way to frame the story Iwas trying to write.
That's when I passed by J. Swedlow Gal*lery and thought of the unjramed oil paint-ing hanging over my sofa I had been in-tending to find a frame for it and thisseemed like as good a time as any. I wentinto the store and started talking to JackSwedlow who has been in the picture fram-ing business for the past 25 years. We start-ed talking about the downtown area andhow businesses are faring in their competi-tion with evil malls.
"People come here because there is atime in their lives - usually when they get
to be about 30-40 and start to have families- that they realize that they can get some-thing here that they can't get at the mallThat's personal service," he said
I couldn't help but agree.I waited while he took a telephone call
from a customer."I will be here this morning and I will be
here this evening. It's Thursday and I amplanning to be here until 9 o'clock/' he said.
When he returned from his call, Mr. Sw-edlow explained a lot of businesses in townstay open late Thursday. The tradition, heexplained, dates back to when American Cy-anamid and Union Carbide were the largest
tioned by name some of the antique shopsand restaurants that have moved into townrecently.
For other establishments, he had little tosay,
"There's some things we tend to ignore,"he said with a nod in the direction of thetrain station which stands next to one offour go-go bars in town. He did not need toelaborate.
We had talked for a good 40 minuteswhen a police officer passed by the store-front carrying a book of yet-to-be-writtenparking tickets. Mr. Swedlow reminded meabout the 1-hour limit on the meters and
'People come here because there is a time in their lives — usuallywhen they get to be about 30-40 and start to have families - thatthey realize that they can get something here that they can't get atthe mail. That's personal service.'
employers in the area."People used to get paid on Thursday
when they worked in the plants," he said.Many of his customers these days work in
office buildings on Davidson Avenue inFranklin Township, he said Business haschanged over the years, he explained.
"We know this town is not going to bewhat it used to be, what it was 30 years ago.Back then, it supported five shoe stores,four ladies shops, and two to three men'sshops. All small towns will change, andBound Brook will change with them."
Mr. Swedlow was optimistic about thestate of business in the borough. He men-
offered me a dime from a small dish hekeeps on his counter for such occasions. Hesaid he even pays tickets for his customerson occasion if they were shopping at hisplace when they were cited - part of hispersonal service.
As I was leaving, a woman entered thestore to pick up an old newspaper articleshe had had mounted. It was a feature inthe Chronicle written in 1990 about her fa-ther, Dr. Alfred Sferra. It featured a photo-graph from 1912 in which Dr. Sferra wasboarding a train.
We got talking and she explained she hadlived in town on and off throughout her life
"Bound Brook is my home," she said "Ialways come back here."
She said her name was Frances Sferra,and her mother, whose maiden name wasFrances Lanna, was a dressmaker for the UMonte family, after whom l a Monte Av-enue, La Monte School, and I * Monte Fieldhad been named. She suggested I write astory some time on the La Monte family.
But before researching the La Monte fam-ily any further, I thought I had better getmy act in gear and write this article aboutsmall town life.
I had a few minutes left on the meter andtook some time to look around I walkedpast NJ Memories, the newest antique shopin town. The store owner Laura Mooneysaid she opened the store because shethought it would fit in nicely with a renais-sance marked by establishments such asthe Palmyra coffeehouse and the BrookTheater which shows "artsy" type Sims.
"I would like to see Bound Brook turninto a New Hope or a Chester," she said, notlong alter the July 4 grand opening of herstore.
It was getting to be close to lunch timeand I was sure my editor had sent out hisspecially trained German shepherds to trackme down so I went home to give him a callbefore breaking for lunch.
After explaining I was suffering from atremendous case of writer's block and need-ed the stimulus of danger, I hopped on mybicycle and pedaled up Union Avenueagain, this time towards Little Garden ofItaly for a slice of pizza.
When I got there, I talked to Dominick" (Please turn to page Page 6)

and had to swerve to avoid hitting a yellow barricajthat blocks off the street during the daytime. I gue|they were placed there to provide a safe haven forchildren around the park.
I turned around and headed toward Talmage Av-enue and the west end of Main Street where the iestate fades into smaller lots bearing multi-familyhomes. The rear and front yards of those are istill and you're more likely to see people sitting oujon their front stoop. Some apartments sit atopmercial buildings and there are a few that haveboarded up.
The hum of Route 26 was becoming faint Thepredominant sound came from can on the Routeoverpass and regularly scheduled trains on thetan Valley line.
A few drops of rain began to dot the tarmac ibut I decided to take the long way home anyway
As I passed by at least four small barber shops,some with old fashioned barber polls still twistingfront, I couldn't help thinking about what Mr. Sw-edlow had said; I felt guilty for having gotten myhaircut at Bridgewater Commons. I resolved to getmy next trimming in town.
A few minutes later, I sat on my porch again, acoffee-stained map at my side, reflecting on the da]travels. I knew the traffic on Route 28 would wakeme again early the next morning, but what I hadseen somehow transformed that noisy nuisance inta heartbeat, a pulse. A lot of people pass through(
town and never stop to see what treasures it holds.The few that do add to its vitality.
Don't be fooled into thinking small towns aresomething restricted to the paintings of NormanRockwell or the writings of Garrison Keillor. Thesmall town you have been seeking might be just;the railing of your front porch.

•J% »
Wbetend Wus antique* wter
When I think of my child-hood summers at mygrandparents' old Victorian
four-story home in Hackensackwith its wide v Taparound porch, Iremember maiiy evenings spentlistening to family stories while werocked silently in the old wickerrockers.
I remember not only rockers,but settees, armchairs, hassocks,planters, coffee tables, and side ta-bles. We even had a wicker porchswing and several floor lamps. Oh,how I wish we hadn't gotten rid ofall that wonderftil vintage wickerfurniture years ago.
For those of you who might stillhave some old wicker and want toknow more about the age, styles,and values, I suggest The OfficialPrice Guide to Wicker: An Encyclo-pedia of American Wicker by Rich-ard Saunders. There is a specialsection on Victorian wicker, turn-of-the-century wicker, wicker ofthe 1920s, and the Wakefield Rat-tan Co.
The book includes a list of pro-fessional wicker restoration ex-perts and a dealer directory.
The more ornate and unusualthe piece of wicker is, the morevaluable it will be. Many old piecesof wicker were not painted but leftin a natural finish. Prices on Victo-rian rockers range from $300-$800,cribs from $750-$l,400, doll bug-gies from $30Q-$450, armchairsfrom $275-$675, baby carriagesfrom $450-$775, and settees from$600-$l,400. Entire porch or livingroom suites go from $3,000 and up,
Old wicker is extremely salable.We cannot keep up with the de-mand at our auction for wicker.Rarely docs an entire suite of fur-niture surface for sale. Many timesthese large sets were broken upand divided among family mem-bers. „. , c J r » M
Nancy vase
Reader InquiriesWe had a few inquiries this
month. I will try to answer yourquestions.
In answer to the gentlemanfrom Middlesex: The painting byD. McHugh dated 1978 is indeedwell done. However, I was not ableto find him listed with an auctionrecord, nor was he listed in Who'sWho in American Art.
Racing is a popular subject andas a decorative object I would esti-mate the value to be $350-$500.You might want to contact theNew Jersey State Museum inTrenton and see whether it hasany further information on the art-ist. Also contact the MonmouthCounty Library for further infor-mation.
With regard to the silver inquiryfrom the lady in Cranford, whoasked about the value of her 1847Rogers Bros, silverplated flatware"First Love" pattern: I would sug-gest calling Replacements, a silverpattern matching company, at(800) 562-4462. Replacements spe-cializes in silver, glass, and chinapatterns.
A silverplated flatware servicefor eight has a fair market value ofsomewhere between $100-$150. Ifthe pattern is ornate it might beworUi mow Jsuspetf the pattern
is from the 1920s or 1930s. Youmight also try Jean Silversmith iNew York City and see whether it Icarries silverplated flatware, TTieybuy and sell old silver flatware bumay be only involved with sterlitems.
In response to the lady fromCranford who sent a photo of aPironin painting: I again couldfind no records on the artist. Thevalue as a decorative painting isthe range of $250-$300.
In answer to the woman fromBound Brook whose English can-delabra is dented: I might suggest)contacting Tony Bruno at SterliniSilversmiths in Scotch Plains,(908) 322-5854.
And finally, in answer to the in-quiry regarding the Daum NancyFrench vase: Jean Daum started aglassworks in Nancy, France, in1875. The company is still in op-eration as CristaUeries de Nancy.The Daum Nancy mark has beenused in many variations. Hiename of the city and the artist areusually both included. Hiis infor-mation comes from KoveVs PriceGuide to Antiques. A 7-inch vasein amethyst with diamond cross-sections is listed in Kami's at$1,295. The size of the piece is im-portant. Daum Nancy is very col-lectible. If your piece is in mintcondition it will certainly appreci-ate in value.

Usually held in the finer restau-rants, the schools boast a re-nowned chef, sumptuous foodsrarely on a regular menu, at aprice well below what you'd expectin an elegant eatery.
With each course comes a wine.An expert discusses its origin, vin-tage and proper use. It's the mostfun in a "classroom" you'll everhave.
The Grain House Restaurant,adjacent to the Old Mill Inn inBasking Ridge offers monthlywine tasting dinners, I attendedlast month's dinner - specializingin French Burgundy wines - en-joying not only the lesson but thefun of dining with like-mindedfolk on a single quest
Executive Chef Daniel Roth-mann, and Sous Chef John To-maszek, prepared a five-coursedinner; A peach and goat cheesetart, followed by a sauteed softshell crab with pine nut crust, achicken macadamia nut turnover,rabbit served with a summer fruitragout, and ending with an assort-ment of French cheese. It certainlywasnt your average restaurantmeal; rather, an intriguing array ofunusual and tasty dishes. (For in-stance, the crab was served withsea beans, grown in salt marshesof the Pacific northwest)
Juliet Chipchase, owner of theGrapenese Wine School in Bask-ing Ridge, was our professor. Shebegan the lesson by explaining theBurgundy region of France - thesource of some of the finest winesin the world, producing mainly drywhite and dry red wines usingChardonnay grapes for the whitesand Pinot Noir for the reds (exceptin Beaujolais where the grape isCamay).
The first course was ac-companied by a "good" white Bur-gundy, 1993 Macon-Villages (LouisJadot), followed by "the richer"1993 St Veran Veilles Vignes (Lu-cien Thomas), from the same re-gion but from older vines whichproduce more concentrated fruitflavors.
Another "soft but rich" whitewine, 1992 Mcursault Premier Cru

Les Perrieres (Joseph Drouhin)was served with the chicken. Thisone will be good for the next eightyears, said Ms. Chipchase. A "basicred burgundy," 1992 ChambolleMusigny (Henri Perrot-Minot) wasserved with the rabbit A lighterred wine, 1993 Bourgogne Rouge(Caves de Mancey) accompaniedthe cheese course.
It's the most fun in aWassroom'you'//ewertove.
Because the meal is presented ata leisurely pace, one is not over-whelmed by the amount of wineserved. Although if you're reallyinto wines, you might want to beaccompanied by a designated driv-er as waiters and waitresses arevery willing to refill glasses.
Our dining companions provedan asset to the meal. They werenot experts - they came to learnand have a good time, So, in thecompany of strangers, no one feltcompelled to be debonair or suave.Instead with good humor and ca-maraderie, we enjoyed the elegantdining table in the charming Fox
and Hounds room (where Sundaybrunch buffet is served 10 a.m-2p m , $15.95, $6.95 for children, al-lowing dining on the patio).
All at the table agreed the $55price tag, including tax and tip,was a great value. The next winetasting dinner, featuring AmericanNorthern Pacific wines, is sched-uled July 20 for $60. Make reserva-tions by calling Mary or Chris at721-1150.
In the meantime, dinner isserved every day at the GrainHouse Restaurant, including theseasonal menus of Chef Roth-mann (formerly of Stage Left andthe Frog and ITie Peach), many ofwhich keep a healthy heart inmind
