Shoo, moose! The folks in South Orange Village have decided to oppose deer hunting in the South Mountain Reservation as a means of controlling the deer population. South Orange officials have passed a resolution rec- ommending deer be kept in check by “natural” means such as controlling their food supply and the size of their habitat. South Orange further stipulates in its resolution that it favors nonlethal methods in the man vs. deer dilemma and supports the use of road reflectors to help reduce physical contact between the two species. Let’s hope no moose are listening. The moose is the largest member of the deer family and thankfully resides north of here, in Alaska…so far. Moose sightings are frequent and worrisome up north. The good folk in places such as Anchorage are split, as we are, about how to get along with this four-legged creature while safeguarding against disasters. Moose apparently roam freely in Anchorage, despite it being a thriving metropolitan area. Moose dips in back- yard swimming pools are common. Roadside vegetation lures them to the city’s thoroughfares and salt on the roadways only add to their delight. Apparently, the greener and cleaner the road, the hap- pier the moose population. According to an article in the Smithsonian magazine (“Herd on the Street” by Jim Doherty), people up north don’t always take the moose seriously enough. Doherty writes about dog owners who let their pets roam free around the moose and about skiers getting too close for comfort and kids throwing snowballs at the antlered ones. He tells of war stories he has heard from those who encounter moose, and not just laymen, but moose experts. One professional tried to protect a group of school- children who were being charged by a moose. The man threw a firecracker at the animal, accidentally burning it Letters to the editor slightly.

The silence was deafening the day after Thanksgiving throughout most of Millburn High School. Except for the sounds of the squeak of sneakers, the bounce of basketballs, wrestlers hitting the mat and coaches blowing whistles. Those sounds were coming from the main gymnasium and cafeteria where the school’s boys and girls basketball teams along with wrestling squads were holding their opening practices of the 2004-05 campaign. The sessions marked the begin- ning of four weeks of practices and scrimmages leading up to the start of regular season competition the weekend before Christmas. The honor of stepping onto the basketball court first went to the varsity and junior varsity girls bas- ketball teams. The distaff cagers staged double sessions, from 9 to 11 a.m. and from 1 to 3 p.m. Following the girls onto the court were Millburn’s varsity and junior varsity boys basketball squads. The cagers practiced from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 3 to 5:30 p.m. Meanwhile, up the hall from the Jim Connelly/staff photographer gymnasium, the Miller wrestling team was staging its first practice ALL EYES ON THE COACH—MikeArtigliere, the third-year head coach of the scrimmageis scheduled for 3:30 p.m.Tuesday against Parsippany Hills and from 10 to 11:30 a.m. in the cafe- Millburn High School varsity wrestling team, demonstrates amove for his New Providence at Parsippany Hills High School.

With shorter days, the Brain Injury Association of New Jersey urges parents to review pedestrian W104348-04 safety rules with their children when they go out for evening activ- ities. Each year, more than 400 pedestrians in New Jersey receive a traumatic brain injury. “In the late afternoon, when it is the most dif- ficult to see, children can be at the greatest risk for an injury if they do not make good decisions about traffic safety,” said Barbara Geiger- Parker, executive director of the Brain Injury Association of New Jersey. “Most pedestrian mishaps are preventable by teaching chil- dren basic pedestrian safety rules.” The Brain Injury Association of New Jersey recommends the fol- lowing guidelines. Find the safest route to school or a friend’s home by walking with your child until he or she is com- fortable with it. Be aware of blind spots for drivers, such as shrubbery or street signs, that might block their view of a child. Make sure children wear reflective clothing, bracelets or shoes if walking after sundown, and put reflective stick- ers on their backpacks. Reflective objects shine in headlights, so dri- vers can see your children better. Teach children to always walk on the sidewalk, and to avoid streets without sidewalks. If a side- walk does not exist and they must walk in the roadway, make sure they know to walk against traffic. Emphasize that children walk, not run, to cross the street safely. Also, remind children to cross only when the light is green or when the sign says walk. If there is no traffic signal, cross only at corners, stop- ping at the curb and looking both ways twice to check for oncoming cars. Finally, set a good example and practice pedestrian safety yourself. For more information, contact the Brain Injury Association of New Jersey at (800) 669-4323.
