Page 4 THE ITEM of Millburn and Short Hills Thursday, December 21, 2000 OPINION Clear and present bias The Livingston Zoning Board should be ashamed of itself. Absolutely ashamed. It is not the board’s fault its township sent to it for hearing a faulty zoning application—one in need of so many variances it probably should have been returned immediately to TMB Part- ners when they first applied one year ago to build an office building on the township-Livingston border. What is the board’s fault is the distinct bias it has demon- strated; a bias whose ugly head was reared Thursday night when it heard final testimony from Peter Steck, an expert plan- ner for residents objecting to TMB’s proposed construction of the two-story, 30,000- square-foot building. During the cross-examination process, one expects the devel- oper’s attorney to fight for his client and his client’s application. What is not expected is that the attorney for the zoning board and a board member will fight for the developer’s application as well. But that is exactly what happened Thursday night, and attempts by opponent attorney Barry Evenchick to stop it were thwarted by the board chairman. We applaud Mr. Steck, who sat unflappable in the witness chair as board attorney Herb Ford and member Allan Maitlin badgered him, continuously attempting to stretch the definitions of their own zoning law to justify this flawed application as fel- low members sat relatively silent. Mr. Steck’s expertise and calm demeanor made his arguments ever more clear, and ever more convincing. We are not attorneys, or experts on Livingston’s zoning code. Nor are we licensed expert traffic engineers or planners. But we don’t have to be. We sat in the public audience Thursday night with officials from this township and residents as well, absolutely incredulous at the scene unfolding before us over the more than four-hour hearing. A clear and distinct bias. It was unthinkable. Letters to the editor What is unclear to us is why.

Tournament 100 Grove Street / • Montclair Since January 1, 2000, the Police Department has been working without a contract. Ridgewood, NJ (between Walnut & Claremont Avenues) During more than a year of negotiations, we asked in good faith for a new schedule. During 806137 973-655-1888 that time, we were led to believe that the township would negotiate in good faith. We were in this week’s paper 808147 wrong. We were subjected to cancelled meetings, asked to provide the research for our proposals, which we did, only to be told that a schedule change would never happen. In fact, it appears our proposals and research were never even reviewed. Rather, we were told to bring the Township to arbitration if we were “stuck on a schedule change”. Currently we are working an antiquated schedule that has us rotating around the clock on a weekly basis. A schedule that has been proven both unhealthy and ineffective. Moreover, we understand that no other police department in either Union or Essex Counties works our present schedule. The P.B.A. has provided the Township with several progressive schedule options, all of which provide significant benefits to the Township and improved quality of life issues for our members. The schedules that we have proposed would put more police officers on the street at the times that they are needed, without increasing the Police Department’s current Table of Organization. These proposals have been met with a “if it’s not broke why fix it” attitude from Mr. Gordon, the Business Administrator. However, The Township is currently looking into spending over $1,000,000.00 on a radio system that is antiquated and not as good as a newer system, something like our current schedule. Curiously, the Township has used one of the very schedules that we have proposed, on various occasions, when the need for more manpower was necessary. Considering this, the P.B.A. finds it incredible that the Township is prepared to spend tens of thousands of dollars on their legal battle with the P.B.A. over an issue, which will benefit both the Township and its police officers. Although nothing is ever certain, we are prepared to prove that the schedules that we have proposed will save enormous amounts of overtime, reduce sick time and improve morale--resulting in a more efficient Police Department. The Township’s adamant refusal to even discuss the schedule has forced us to invoke binding arbitration before the New Jersey Public Employment Relations Commission. We hope that the residents of Millburn Township will continue supporting us, as you always have. We will continue to serve the citizens of this community with the level of professionalism that you have come to expect and deserve.

Thank you for your continued support, Gino Baldani, President Millburn P.B.A, Local 34 791750 800130

’Tis the season to be jolly and we North Jerseyans are lucky. We get K C the option of having a gaming holiday up north or down south, either K C way it’s a win, win situation. That’s right. It’s just about the same travel Y M Y M distance to find fun and games in the wilds of the great Indian Reservations of Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods, as it is to the shores of the Atlantic Ocean in the city by the Sea. First, let’s deal with those of you who take the Northern Route and visit our tribal cousins in Connecticut. If you haven’t been to Mohegan Sun lately or at all you’ll be intrigued by the expansion project, called Project Sunburst, ongoing at a cost of $800 million that will triple the area of the property, adding more than four million square feet or approximately 30 acres.

Now let’s get to the entertainment part of Foxwoods’ holiday season, Robert Mirabal. “Do you want entertainment or someone preaching politics? Do you want real sweat or someone complaining about another culture? I want poignant lyrics, a flaming guitar. I want to be taken to another level” said Mirabal, and that’s what his audiences get, “an entertainment trip to another dimension.” I quote from a review of Robert Mirabal, after a recent concert. “He takes the stage dressed in a buckskin shirt and leggings, a headband and a feather in his hair. He tilts his head back and gingerly lifts one of his handcrafted flutes to his lips. Waves of long dark hair fall softly around his face. As the gentle strains of a Native American flute fill the room. Mirabal provided the audience at Foxwoods with an entertainment experience on Dec. 15 and 1 6. HEADING SOUTH For those of you looking for more conventional entertainment and more comfortable weather, I suggest you “come on down” to the City by the Sea. Wayne Newton was at Caesars last week and performed a very special holiday show that he wrote and selected all of the music for. 799262
