Although Shaw thought the economic NURSERY & DRAFTS summit was wonderful, for the most part, local governing bodies weren’t there, she said. There was plenty of information for business owners on items such as loan assistance and technical assistance, but municipalities need information too, she said. “Towns need to be far more progres- ' sive,” Shaw said. “They have to be ready to offer something to prospective busi­ nesses.” Shaw compared it to inviting company to your home. “You need to have some good snacks or they won’t come back.” In other words, she said, municipalities need programs that can help business peo­ ple relocate, expand and develop.

H ELLO , ANTARCTICA — Scott Mushinskie, a seventh-grader at Beers Street Middle School in Hazlet, videotapes his classmate, Meggan Lisa, for a “Live From Antarctica II” program that will be aired from 1-2 p.m. tomorrow on PBS Channel 13. The segment is part of a NASA Passport to Knowledge program which utilizes interactive video and tape. The Beers Street students are asking questions about the Adelie penguins, the effect of oil spills on the areas, and the effects of tourism on the animals of Antarctica. Some of their questions will be chosen for Thursday’s program. The videotaped questions will be spliced into the program and answered on air by a scientist in Antarctica.
