It’s a good thing no one counted on that package arriving in the nick of time. The three-year teacher contracts expired June 30, but neither side has been able to come to a meeting of the minds as of yet. In fact, the issue became a bone of con­ tention in November when teachers, par­ ents and the board of education aired their feelings on the matter. Clark Education Association President Chris Taillefer, a teacher at Kumpf Elemen­ tary School, approached the microphone, accused the board of stalling the negotia­ tions to date and pointing out that the CEA thought the contracts were settled in August. “But here we are Nov. 12 and we have no deal,” he said, adding that teachers were still working. “I know that this has happened before and we have gone this far into the school Photo By David VanDeventer year without a contract and you would EPIC BATTLE CONTINUES IN RAHWAY — The Snow Miser and the Heat Miser have certainly been at qdds lately. Just think we would know better, because it when residents thought they might have a white Christmas, the Heat Miser jumped in as temperatures reached doesn’t benefit any of us,” Taillefer said to recorcl highs in some areas across the county. The snow is nearly all but gone, and despite the best efforts of the Snow Miser, temperatures in the upper 60s have turned any chance of snow into heavy rains, fog and humidity.

Linden considers hiring a business administrator Mayor says change is neccesary for position By Cheryl Hehl Staff Writer LINDEN - Does Linden need a municipal business administrator? A recent ad hoc com­ mittee seemed to think so and unanimously recommended creating the position, echoing what another committee said 43 years ago. Unfortunately, the recommendation was based on the city’s present form of government which the mayor strongly believes does not work efficiently and never will. Mayor Rich Gerbounka would like nothing better than to bring a business administrator aboard, but only if the city changes its form of government so to one that is under the Faulkner Act. “To have a business administrator under the present form of government will only cre­ ate another level of bureaucracy and he or she will be nothing more than a figurehead,” said Mayor Rich Gerbounka, adding an administrator under the present form “would have responsibility but no authority.” It’s no secret the mayor has been an outspoken advocate of changing the city’s form of government from the antiquated 1897 Wildwood Act to the Faulkner Act. According to the mayor, 67 municipalities in the state operate under this form of gov­ ernment, including nine out of ten of the largest cities. Woodbridge, Elizabeth, New Brunswick, Jersey City, Bayonne and Edison are several of the cities that use this form of government. In fact, he believes unless the city changes its form of government, things will never operate efficiently. “The time has come to bring Linden government into the 21st century and change our antiquated form of government,” Gerbounka said, adding that in order to do so, he will need the help of Linden’s citizens. Under the present Wildwood Act, the mayor’s hands are virtually tied because he has neither full executive power nor the power to vote on legislative matters, such as the annu­ al budget. That responsibility actually falls to a three or four member part-time coun- cilmember committee who are appointed on a yearly basis. They put together the budget, which then is adopted by a majority vote of council. It’s also no secret the city has had major issues every year when it comes time to putting together a budget and getting it passed in a timely manner. Every year the city is under the gun, over cap and unable to come to a meeting of the minds on what needs to be cut. File Photo That usually results in layoffs surfacing in order to reduce the budget and keep it under Mayor Rich Gerbounka says a change in the form of government is neccesary the state mandated cap. for the city before hiring a business administrator in order to not create See MAYOR, Page 6 anouther ‘bureaucratic layer.’ 4 — December 27, 2013 — Union County LocalSource

I see and interact daily with our employees and put in to to 12 hours a day governing this city,” the mayor explained. Linden is presently governed by part-time councilmem- ber committees, none of which are able to agree on how the city should be run. This has caused considerable problems every year when the governing body is trying to draft the municipal budget or come to an agreement on issues. Over 44 years ago a charter committee saw the short­ comings of the type of government the city was operating under. Although nothing was done about it then or since, the mayor was hoping to change things once and for all. The ad hoc committee, formed in 2011 by council Presi­ dent James Moore, spent considerable time investigating the creation of the position of a municipal administrator. Those appointed to this committee included John Miliano, former mayor Paul Werkmeister, Gail Masssey, John Lan- File Photo gan, Joseph Flemming, council persons Rich Puschel, In Linden, the council and mayor — ever at odds — are considering creating a new position of business Michelle Yamakaitis and Robert Sadowski. administrator, but the mayor is more concerned with changing the form of government before creating The committee began their task of investigating whether more‘bureaucratic.red tape.’ the city even needs an administrator by inviting various business administrators to their meetings to discuss their the candidate and recommendation of a candidate by the from running smoothly.

Crossing guards Maryam Ahmed and Lucas Origliato hold up their crossing guard crafts. Students in Jennifer Bartolomeo’s class at Valley Road School in Clark are finishing their unit on community helpers. So far, the students have learned about police officers, fire fighters, dentists, doctors, teachers, nurses, postmen, and finally, cross­ ing guards. During the lesson on crossing guards, the students learned about road safety. The stu­ dents used a stop sign and a big paper road in the classroom to learn how to look both ways before cross­ ing the street, and to make sure they look for a crossing guard on busy roads. The students finished the les­ son by reading a poem called "The Crossing Guard” by Genevieve A. Wells, and used it to create a cross­ ing guard craft.

OPINION Left Out by Frank Capece (Continued from Page 12) Last week Paul Jargowski, a public-policy professor at Rutgers, released his 13-year study focusing on the saddening rise in poverty in midsized communities. "We've seen the erosion of the middle class and many of the industrial neighborhoods,” he wrote, “and many who used to be among the white middle-class have fallen from grace.” Tuesday afternoons can be a sobering effort for sitting in Court Room 3 of the ornate tower court rooms in the Superior Court in Elizabeth. It's where the landlords and tenants go through the battle over back rent as the first step in the eviction process. The place is jammed. Tenants are often desperate to just stretch out the process, landlords remind that they need the agreed-upon money to pay their bills. It's not a pleasant site. The census numbers themselves can be odd but they are revealing. Think about the impact of a 9 percent cut to a household in Roselle Park where the median income is a shade over $60,000. Even in a relatively affluent community like Mountainside a 9 percent cut on a $131,000 medium household income has got to be painful. The financial types also don't offer much optimism. Moody's Investors Service last week released a report predicting New Jersey faces a "sluggish economic recovery.” They warned the state must deal with a "budgetary structural imbalance.” In a published report it was revealed that among the big Wall Street rating agencies, our state is only doing better fiscally than California and Illinois. Moody’s predicted that as state ratings go down, the cost of borrowing money will continue to rise. It may be that we are all so accustomed to the recession, that we just shrug and do our best every day. Definitely something we should all get steamed up about. i6 — December 27, 2013 — Union County LocalSource NJCEED in UC helps promote cancer screening Pogram hopes to increase awareness and screenings in Union County Project Ready Union County will continue to promote outreach and just one of the agencies providing education and outreach. cancer education through the New Jersey Cancer Educa­ NJCEED agencies offer a wide range of breast, cervical, gearing up for tion and Early Detection (NJCEED) program, which pro­ colorectal and prostate cancer related services including: vides free, comprehensive screening services for breast, mammogram screenings, clinical breast examinations, cervical, prostate and colorectal cancer. instructions on breast self-examinations, Pap tests, and Jan. 7 program Services through the program also include education pelvic examinations.

As the body’s largest organ, your skin works constantly to protect the organs, regulate body temperature, and reflects your overall health. If you notice or experience any changes to your skin, it’s best to see a dermatologist. Should you have one or more factors that increase your risk of developing melanoma (the most potentially lethal form of skin cancer), you should be conscientious about undergoing regular skin checks The first risk factor is having about 50 or more moles anywhere on your body. Having red or blond hair, blue or green eyes, or a tendency to sunburn easily are also risk factors. You should also raise your attention level if you experienced three or more blistering sunburns before age 20 or worked outdoors during summers as a teenager. Lastly, receiving increased media attention and research data, is that indoor tanning increases the risk of melanoma by 75%! Not surprisingly, the largest increase in the incidence of melanoma has been in women age 16-30 years old. Remember it is very important to examine your skin on a regular basis for any new or growing lesions. Be sure to mention any unusual changes and concerns to your dermatologist. For additional information about melanoma screening and prevention call 718-698-1616.

A case could be made for that concerning arch rivals Governor Livingston and Cranford. In Friday night’s girls’ basketball season-opener at Cranford High School’s Martin Gymnasium, it was a long-range basket by the person who ended up being the game’s leading scorer that halted the opposing team’s momentum. After Cranford pulled to within six points, GL sophomore guard Lau­ ren Sorrano found room on the right side and received a pass from just beyond the 3-point line. Sorrano, who scored GL’s first seven points, let go of a shot that hit nothing but net to put the Highlanders up by nine. “I got the ball at an open spot, so I took it,” said Sorrano, who led all scorers with 11 points and made GL’s only two 3-pointers to lead the Highlanders to a convincing 33-26 win over Cranford in Union County Conferenee-Watchung Division play.
