But the approach being taken to these issues by candidates Bob Hopkins and Ken Boulden is quite different. Hopkins said he sees a need for major changes in regional plann­ ing and development patterns. "The present situation is chaotic," he said. " We need to put pressure on the county to come up with a comprehensive plan." In addition, Hopkins said, the state must take a more active role in monitoring environmental and traffic problems in the region. Boulden is using an unusual and much different campaign ap­ proach than Hopkins. " I think issues will decide the general election," he said, but not the Glasgow High School band members practice marching.

There is no doubt that when youngsters feel success on the court, they are encouraged to do their best in all areas of their lives. Thank you for being part of our community of friends. Your participation here tonight will help make the dreams of some young athlete-scholars come true. We appreciate your commitment to the Newark Athletic Hall of Fame, and look forward to seeing you next year. Sincerely, Joseph N.
