There’s always a tinge of sadness when you’re leaving a place you’ve called home. Our office in the Courtyard Building isn’t where any of us at The Item of Millburn and Short Hills lived, of course, but some weeks, it seemed like, well, this was where we did. Now, we’re packing up to move across town and memo- ries are stirred up with the dust as we empty shelves and pile notebooks and files and newspaper archives into boxes. We’re reminded of times that have passed. Ten years. Good times. Bad times. We remember the day each person hired after us came in for his or her interview. Some didn’t stay long. Others became close friends. We remember how everyone pulled together in a crisis: the evening the river rose and the downtown was flooded, or the days when the computers went down and we had to pack up our notes and work out of offices at another newspaper. We remember the different seating arrangements over the years. Sometimes you’d discover old files of forgotten stories in the back of a desk drawer. We’ve had several generations of office chairs used in 10 years. Everyone avoided the tippy one. We remember how one person kept her office icy cold and how another person displayed her Beanie Baby collection on the window sill. There was the time we found a stray dog wandering outside the office and helped reunite it with its owner. Occasionally, there were arguments, and sometimes stories were still being written as deadlines arrived. Sometimes you picked up last minute photos that turned out too dark or too bright to use. Technology changed so fast we had to be trained in three different computer programs over the past 10 years. Sometimes we ran out of toner for the printer or toilet paper or manila file folders.

BOYS BASKETBALL Millers out to impress new division rivals

By Jim Connelly of The Item

Like many of his fellow Mill- burn High School winter season coaches, Rodger Blind feels the placement of his varsity boys basketball team in the Colonial Divi- sion of the Super Essex Confer- ence represents a boost for his program. “With our group of experienced seniors combined with a good group of underclassmen the potential is there for us to have a good season,” Blind said. Forward Alex Rosenberg and point guard Joe Kizel members of the 2008-09 Northern Hills Con- ference, Skyline Division first team, are the anchors of the team’s senior contingent. Rosenberg, 6-6, averaged a team-high 18 points a game for Millburn (13-11, 6-8 Skyline Divi- sion last season). He also averaged 6.6 rebounds a game, second on the team. Kizel, 6-0 averaged 15 points per game, second only to Rosen- berg, and was the team’s top threat from the beyond the three-point arc. Kizel knocked down 23 of 68 treys (34 percent) and also averaged 6.8 rebounds per outing. Center Brian Brown (6-3), forward David Spelman (6-1), forward Max Miller (6-1), forward Will Spelman (6-1), point guard Andrew Spelman (6-1), guard Jacob Weissman (6-0), guard Mike Ye (6-2) and forward Kevin Topol- ski (5-11) are the other members STAFF PHOTO BY JIM CONNELLY of the squad’s senior contingent.
