Council okays police computerand calls for senior tax break

by Mark MakowskiThe Scotch Plains Town

Council okayed an or-dinance Financing a newcomputer for the PoliceDepartment at its Tuesdaymeeting. The cost of thissystem is $80,000, but it ismoney that the Councilfeels is well spent. AlanAugustine stated, "Thiscouncil is conscious of allexpenditures, and I amvery comfortable in sup-porting this ordinance."

This money will allowthe department to pur-chase a Unisys HardwareSystem, which ManagerTom Atkins says, "Bringsthe police right in line withwhat we need now." Thesystem was chosen altermuch study by ChiefRobert Luce. $76,000 ofthis amount will be financ-ed with bonds issued in ac-cordance with the LocalBond Law. The remaining$4,000 will be ap-propriated from theCapital ImprovementFund as the down pay-ment.

In other action, theCouncil called for agreater tax break forseniors. Joan Papen readthe resolution, saying thatthe Senior Citizen RealEstate Tax Deduction hasstayed at $230 since the

year 1983. She noted thatover the last 7 years pro-perty taxes have gone up,mainly because of statemandated programs, butthe deduction for Seniorshas remained static.

In order to eliminatethis, the Council has pro-posed raising the SeniorCitizen Tax Deduction to$300 annually. Papenrecommended that copiesof the resolution be sent tothe Governor and StateLegislature.

Also in Senior news;Henry Kramer of theSenior Citizen AdvisoryCommittee presentedMayor Spatola with a Cer-tificate of Appreciation.This was in recognition ofher close work with thecommittee over the lastyear. Kramer thanked theMayor for her advice andinterest. The Mayorreplied that, "It was asincere pleasure to be in-volved with the Commit-tee. I enjoyed it verymuch."

Thomas Atkins, TownManager, reported that hereceived a bid for curbsidecollection of recyclables(newspaper, glass,aluminum) from Brown-ing Ferris Industries. Thisbid was in the amount of$47.04 per household, per

year. This bid was con-siderably higher than thecounty cost of $24.80,which Scotch Plains cur-rently uses.

Since the service of

these operators is equal,obviously the County willretain the contract .However, even though theprice is lower, it has in-

CHOICES FACED AT RETIREMENTYou worked for a company for thirty years and

just received a gold watch from the president of thefirm. Your co-workers have just given you a farewellluncheon and some nice gifts to remember them by.You can't wait to sell your home so you and yourwife can move into that Florida dream house youpurchased five years ago. This is a common situationfaced by many workers each day.

However, before leaving the company the benefitsspecialist asks you how you want to receive your pen-sion, and you are faced with the following decision:Do you want option (1) $30,000 a year for the rest ofyour life only, or option (2) $24,000 for the re-mainder of your life and then $20,000 for the re-mainder of your spouse's life?

Let's look at these two choices more carefully. Ifyou choose the first option and you passed away thenext day, your spouse would get nothing from all thehard work you put in. If you choose the second op-tion and your spouse passed away the next day, younow have a reduced pension for the rest of your life,with no benefit to leave anyone. Thus you have areduced pension for nothing in return.

In reality, what you are doing with option 2 is tak-ing a reduced amount so that you can provide a sur-vivorship benefit to your wife. Does this soundfamiliar? Sure does. This is exactly what life in-surance does. However, when choosing a reducedpension, you usually pay a much higher premiumthen what life insurance would cost if taken out in apersonal plan, when you were younger.

A View FromThe

Doghouse

by Mark Makomki

ENVIRONMENT SHMENVIRONMENT!One of my resolutions in 1990 is to drink plenty of

clear, fresh water. Nutritionists give plenty ofreasons why one should drink at least eight glasses aday. So on New Year's Day I arose, went downstairsand poured myself some sparkling...CHLORINEBLEACH! And what a bargain, straight from thetap...for free!s After I whitened some clothes and filled my poolup for next summer, I called the Water Company foran explanation. And here it is;

1. Unexpectedly, some really weird stuff, known assnow, fell from the sky.

2. And darnit, wouldn't you know that somegenius figured out that salt melts ice! (Except inScotch Plains, where they feel that summer worksmuch better). And when the ice melted all at once...

3. We didn't expect it, and...4. It was New Year's Eve, and we left the Night

Watchman in charge, and...5. He was watching Dick Clark on his portable TV,

and...6. He made the small mistake of adding about,

let's estimate, a thousand times too much chlorine tothe water.

7. The water IS safe to drink. However, if you takea shower, you will disintegrate like the Evil Witch inthe West in "Wizard of Oz".

8. And, to placate you, our whining customer, weare going to give you this helpful hint; To get thechlorine smell to go away, put the water in a con-tainer and shake it.

"Put the water in a container and shake?!" Iscreamed. "I don't want to. I want someone fromthe Water Company to come to my house and shakeit for me!"

"Well sir," the operator added icily, "why don'tyou just go down to the Arthur Kill and bottle yourown water?" Then she hung up.

LOOK AT THE FINE MESS...The Arthur Kill is one of the more aptly named

waterways in the country. That's because a goose in-haling 2,000 feet overhead will instantly be killed.No, I don't know too many people who pack up avolleyball set and beach chairs so they can head downto the Kill to watch some Supertankers collide. Andmaybe that's why they tried to slip one past us.

Exxon first reported that one of its employees hadspilled five quarts of oil from his Lincoln Continentalinto the water, during a routine tuneup. They laterrevised the estimate upwards by about HALF AMILLION GALLONS! WOOPS! Off by just a lit-tle, fellas? Yes, there are 300,000 gallons of homeheating oil floating on the Arthur Kill. Exxon im-mediately responded by;

A. Raising the price of home heating oil.B. Sending in its specially trained cleanup crew.

This crew used the latest in ultra-sophisticated OilSpill Reduction Technology, which consisted of someboxes of highly absorbent paper towels, and some in-dustrial strength soap. (The real good kind with sandgranules in it).

It was reported that Governor Kean was complete-ly enraged when he found out that Kean College wasnamed after one of his relatives. He was also lividabout the heating oil spill. That's because the Gover-nor traditionally heats with gas. He couldn't go downto the Arthur Kill with his wet 'n' dry vac, like I did,and siphon off some of that valuable Texas Gold.Unfortunately, some Exxon guys charged me beforeI could get away.

So, the Governor is going to get lough, he's goingto clamp down, show these guys who's boss, showthem thai the people of New Jersey will not toleratethis kind of nonsense, he is - and I know this soundscruel and unusual • going to order a study. And notjust any study, but a FULL study. There is nothinglike a full study to send corporate leaders into a fren-zy. But Exxon, scared as it may be, has promised tocooperate fully, as long as they can approve the finalresults of the findings, which will be;

1. It was New Year's Eve, and the Night Wat-chman was in charge, etc., etc., etc. ...

Report fromit

ByCongressman

Matt Kinaldo7th District, N«w J«rtay

Laser scanners, similar to those used at super-market checkout counters, can help the U.S.Treasury agents track millions of dollar in bar-codedcurrency used in large drug stings.

With the addition of unobtrusive bar coding tolarger denominations of currency, undercover agentscould purchase drugs from suspected dealers withmoney on which the bar coding had been recorded.Agents could then trace the money through businessdeposits and bank transactions to determine how thedrug operation was laundering its illegal profits.

In this way, inexpensive scanners can be used bylocal police departments, undercover drug enforce-ment agents and banks to help federal authorities un-cover the sources of illegal drug profits.

When Congress reconvenes later this month, I willask the House Banking Committee to hold hearingson legislation I am sponsoring that would establish anelectronic scanning task force to determine the costand feasibility of the operation. It would require theU.S. Bureau of Engraving to print unobtrusive com-puter bar codes on all paper currency in denomina-tions of ten dollars or more.

Combined with computers, bar coding technologycan quickly and cheaply track large money depositsthat now must be manually examined and counted bydrug enforcement agents in attempting to accuratelypinpoint the source of drug transactions.

The information developed by the TreasuryDepartment task force study would help the InternalRevenue Service and other federal agencies operatingunder the Bank Secrecy Act of 1988 develop systemsto track some of the estimated $220 million in profitsgenerated daily by illegal drug sales in this country.

The Bush Administration is launching an all-outdrive against drug money laundering through banksand the business community. Drug kingpins cannotoperate their international drug networks without acash flow, and our aim is to plug up their financialpipelines.

The recent seizure of $20 million in currency byfederal authorities in Los Angeles in a raid on a drugwarehouse demonstrated the potential for trackinglarge amounts of currency to the drug lords. It wouldtake only a short time for an electronic scanner todetermine what cities the currency came from and thebanks that issued the money to specified accounts.

Drug Enforcement Administration officials havetestified that they have been forced to curtail the useof marked currencies used in major drug buysbecause of the difficulty in manually keeping track ofthousands of serial numbers. Federal Reserve Bankofficials in New York and Washington have express-ed no opposition to bar-coded currency.

The Scotch Plains Golden Agers held their annualChristmas Party at the Westwood in Garwood onMonday, December 18, 1989.

Our Party Chairman, Mary DiFrancesco and herable assistant Gertrude Furst, did a superb job ofmaking arrangements for this wonderful affair. Thetables were ablaze with beautiful red poinsettaplants, giving the room a festive look of theChristmas season.

All the lovely ladies and their husbands and guestsdressed in their Christmas finery were a sight tobehold. Our invited guests from the Scotch PlainsRecreation Commission were Laura Botto, LauraSwidersky and Marion Yotcoski.

A great welcome, Christmas good wishes and theinvocation were given by our President, PalmaVeninata, followed by a gourmet dinner.

After dinner entertainment was supplied by theCranford Senior Citizens Line Dancers. Theybrought along their own music and did a variety ofline dancing steps to the strains of familiar tunes en-joyed by all. The best to come was when they invitedthe audience to join them in doing the ChickenDance, Alley Cat and the Hokey Pokey. What a bar-rel of fun was had by all.

The party was not over yet...our own EllenWalmsley, Poet Lauret, graced us with her presenceand recited a beautiful holiday poem in her own in-imitable way. It is just so remarkable that this lovelylady can call to mind, verbatim, poems she learned asa young girl when most of us, at this stage in life,cannot remember where we put our glasses or whatwe had for breakfast.

We then had our "sing-a-long" of ChristmasCarols, led by none other than our Laura Swidersky.This lady can really belt out a song and she really in-spired everyone to join in the spirit of Christmas.

Everyone left this party with the feeling of the truemeaning of Christmas, to hold in our hearts thewelcoming of the Christ Child, Jesus, and peace onearth and good will toward all men.

at. Raider wrestlers rout Kearny A new swim season for SPFHS Raiders

Brian Martin greeted after a big pin.

by Mark MakowskiThe Scotch Plains-

Kearny match started a lit-tle late. That's becauseabout five of the Kearnymen were struggling to getdown to weight until thelast minute before thematch. Since the matchwas Wednesday, and NewYear's Day was Monday,this could only be ex-pected, as the wrestlershad gained some of thosedreaded holiday pounds.

But Raider Coach LenZanowicz thought ahead;he had his men come in onMonday just to avoid theproblem. "I told the boysthat I didn't want to be inpractice, either. But wehave to work off some ofthe weight, so we don'thave to do it all in Tues-day's practice." Zanowiczknew a tough Tuesdaypractice could drain thewrestlers. Indeed, thatmay have been a part ofthe Raider's easy win.

Some very good news

for Scotch Plains fans isthat the first four wrestlersin the lineup are freshmen.They were all impressiveagainst Kearny.

At 103, Pat Bartelscame out and immediatelytook his man down, put-ting him in a near fallposition through most ofthe first period. It was 5-0,after one. And after just35 seconds into the secondperiod, he finished it offwith a beautiful in. An ex-tremely powerful showingfor the freshman.

Mark Donnodadio, at112, came out like a wildman and immediately flip-ped Kearny's Velasquezon his back. In an instantit was over, just 21seconds into the match, anexample of total domina-tion.

Next, Mike Marcovec-chio won 6-0, as he im-pressively rode his manfor most of the match,wearing him down andnever letting him into it.

Brackie Reyes, at 125,turned his man over at4:45 of the match, andcontrolled him the rest ofthe way to notch a 2-2draw. At this point, afterthe first four matches, theRaiders were ahead, 17-2,and well on the way to aroute.

At 145, Dave Oslisopinned his man by perfor-ming a slide cradle move,and hooking both legs at2:55.

Next, Lou Cerchio tookon one of Kearny's best,Gene Richard, and suc-cessfully thwarted anytakedown attempts, winn-ing 4-0. At this point itwas Raiders ahead 44-8,and just time to play outthe match.

The next two matcheswere forfeits, before BrianMartin came out and con-tinued the Scotch Plainspin parade in the 189weight class. He blew hisman away with a near-fallat 1:12, and the final fallat 1:19.

Al Scarpa , atHeavyweight, completedthe scoring by decisioninghis man, 16-10. Scarparolled his man over with45 seconds remaining tobreak open a close match.The final score: Raiders53, Kearny 14.

At the end, Coach Zcommented, "It feels likethe old days. I haven'tseen a score like that inquite a while. " He wasvery impressed with all ofhis men's performances,and hopes they can keep itup for the rest of the year.

The next win for theRaiders was againstRahway on December 14.

They took first place in sixout of ten events. Thecombination that hadworked so well in theElizabeth meet for the 200YD Medley Relay wasvaried slightly (Paul Chuf-fo instead of Keith Swen-son) and worked just aswell, taking first with analmost identical time.

INVESTOR'SCORNER

byFredJ. Chemidlin

The new decade appears to be off to a good start asmore people are working than ever recorded in thehistory of our country. For many of us, just keepingour job will be a successful year in 1990. Learning tolive within one's income and means will be the greatchallenge of the '90's, especially for the young peoplejust entering the work force.

Our country has prospered over the years frompeople willing to task risks and learning how to sellproducts as well as themselves! The liberal mentalityof the past forty years has convinced many that thebest job was one that gave the highest pay for theleast amount of work and effort. Do as little as youcan and cut corners where needed! Those with suchwork ethics will be finding themselves looking forjobs in the near future as the excesses of the past fadein the harder economic times now upon us.

We are witnessing the greatest immigration ofpeoples from all around the world who recognize theopportunities our free economy offers. These are thepeople who will fuel the technological revolution ofthe nineties. Communications, health-care, educa-tion and waste management are just a few of theareas of investment promise. We need to develop anew breed of salesperson, one attuned to solving aproblem or providing a service, rather than justforcefully selling a product or just taking an order.Creative salesmanship is the key!

Now is the time to resolve to put your financialhouse in order. If you are carrying everything in yourhead, your finances are probably out of control.Make a written list of your assets and liabilities anddetermine the dollar amount of your net worth. Behonest with yourself whether the numbers are goodor bad! Then write a monthly income and expensestatement using only net figures showing dollars inand out. If you are borrowing to make ends meet orspending more than what comes in, there is troubleahead! Each mail delivery has advertisements offer-ing something almost too good to be true. Be careful!Discipline is needed in all areas of life, but most of allin achieving financial well-being. 1990 is beginningfull of promise in the financial arena. How it endsdepends on the choices you make for yourself! Gofor it.

Financial Briefs...economical way to provide survivor benefits isbecause the company is pooling together all of thosewho retire into one group. Some may be healthy andlive a long time past retirement and some may be illand die before their life expectancy. Thus, the reduc-ed pension choice is actually determined on a groupbasis, not on an individual basis, and those that arehealthy help to subsidize the costs of those who arenot as fortunate.

By having the proper amount of life insurancecoverage in force, you can choose the higher pension,option (1) above, since you already provided for sur-vivorship benefits with a less expensive cost throughyour own personal insurance.

Those who had only term insurance because theythought it was less expensive when they were young,are soon surprised to find out that when they areforced to choose the reduced pension, they are reallypaying for survivor benefits at a much higher cost.

If you have any questions on the above, feel free tocall me at 322-2634.
