100I aid from state stays flat

THE RECORD-PRESS
Educators received the same news
municipal mayors heard from the governor weeks ago —little, if any, increase in
state aid.
As school boards across the state wrestle with budgets during tough economic
times, the news of flat state aid didn't
make matters any easier, particularly
with increasing costs and fewer revenue
sources.
In Union County, funding remained flat
for ail the districts in the "1" District
Factor Group, which include West field.
Scotch Plnins-Fanwood. Berkley Heights,
Mountainside, New Providence and
Summit. In addition, state aid for the
county vocational-technical school in
Scotch Plains will be flat.
"iThe state* kept us flat for the last
three years and it looks like all I-district
aid was flat," said Robert Herman, business administrator for the Westfield Board
of Education. "It seems that it's based on a
aid to be flat since it began planning the
budget in September. The district will
receive $4.4 million again, with most of
the aid going to special education costs.
Special education spending is state-mandated and will cost the town roughly $12

Westfield's other aid comes in n new

THE RECORD-PRESS
WESTFIELD — Old fashioned
politics is the way Jon Bramnick
campaigned in his quest for the
21st Legislative District assembly seat to be decided in a special
election by the district's
Republican committee members
Saturday at the Westwood in
Gai-wood.
Bramnick went door-to-door to
meet and speak with the more
than 300 committee members
who will decide on the district's
next Assemblyman. Those he didn't meet face-to-face, he called,
emailed or sent a letter.
"I think the committee members were appreciative that 1
campaigned the old fashioned
way," Bramnick said. "It's a personal approach. You also learn
the district well."
Bramnick is one of the seven
remaining candidates to fill the
seat left vacant by Sen. Thomas
Kean Jr., who replaced Richard
Bagger in the senate last month
after Bagger's resignation.
The field of candidates started
with 12 before it dwindled.
Bramnick, who is the Westfield
Republican Party chairman, was
selected by his municipal GOP
committee over Westfield Mayor
Greg McDermott.
Of the seven candidates, the
Union County candidates are

"My job is not to determine

understanding of who I am,"
Bramnick said.

The 13th straight day of
below-freezing weather, but little or no snow at Wntchung
Reservation, was the setting for
the Boy Scout Patriots District's
46th Klondike Derby "sled race"
and skill contest Jan. 25.
The weather, illness and
school examinations combined
to keep the field down to 20
teams, but the frozen ground
permitted the use of equipment-landed, traditional Scoutpulled sleds rather than the
backpacks used last year.
Starting in timed waves, the
Scouts pulled their sleds
between the various Klondike
"towns," where they were graded by adult volunteers in such
categories as knots and lashings, first aid, fire building,
cooking, compass and measuring. After their final equipment
checks at the finish line, each
team's elapsed time was tallied
with their skill ratings to determine a winner.

Be a local hero
by joining board
The toughest job in your town may also be the most
rewarding.
The job's hours are long, the work is often tedious and
there is no pay. Yet, if you take the job, you can make an
amazing difference in your town.
The job is serving on your local school board.
If you are truly interested in public education and the
future of the children in your hometown, you should consider becoming a candidate for the school board. Local
school board offices have a candidate kit which explains
exactly what has to be done to get on the ballot.
Though the state plays a large role in public education,
board members still have a great deal of influence on how
local schools operate. The local school board creates the
policies which guide (lie school in running the district. The
board also oversees the budget, negotiates labor contracts,
develops policies for the curriculum and facilities, and
approves the hiring of personnel. You don't need to be an
expert in education to serve on a .school; in the fact, the
best school boards have a wide variety of people at all ages
with widely diverse backgrounds.
Being a school board member is a lot of work and there
are many, many evening meetings and time away from the
family. You will be placed at the center of emotional controversies and you will be the object »f vehement complaints.
You will also quickly learn the validity of the old saying
that discretion is the better part of valor.
But, if you care about your community, all the hard
work and long meetings will be worthwhile. Our tax
money goes to no more important purpose than education.
And the quality of education depends not only on the professionals in the classroom but on a community that is
genuinely concerned about investing in the future of its
children. Serving on a school board is occasionally a thankless job, but in the end there will be hundreds of people
who will thank you for making your hometown a better
place to live and raise a family.
To become a member of a local board of education in
New Jersey, you must be able to read and write; hold citizenship and one year's residency in the school district;
have no interest in any contract with, or claim against, the
board; not hold office as mayor or member of the municipal governing body and be registered to vote in the district.
Each candidate for election, including an incumbent,
must be nominated directly by petition, signed by at least
ten persons (one of whom may be the candidate). Each
nominating petition, addressed to the secretary of the
board, must state the following:
• That the signers are qualified district voters
• The name, residence and post office address of the
candidate and the office for which the candidate is
endorsed
• That the signers endorse the candidate and ask that
his or her name be printed on the ballot
• That the candidate is legally qualified to be a school
board member.
One of the signers must make a sworn statement that
the petition is prepared in good faith, that he or she saw
all of the signatures included in the petition and that he or
Uhe believes that the signers are duly qualified voters.
: With the nominating petition, the candidate must
include a signed statement certifying that he or she is
qualified to be a school board member, consents to be a
candidate, and will accept the office if elected.
Nominating petitions must be filed with the board secretary on or before 4 p.m., Feb. 24.

Letters to the editor
Fight to save state support for arts
To The Record-Press:
Last week Gov. James E. McGreevey submitted a
state budget proposal that includes the elimination of
all support for the ails, including the Westfield
Symphony Orchestra. This proposal would not only
end all state arts funding but also eliminate the
agency that distributes that support, making it difficult to even restart that support when times improve.
While the prospect of a $5 billion state budget deficit
is alarming, eliminating support for the arts will save
just. $31.7 million, according to a Feb. 4 Star-Ledger
article, or an iiiKignificunt six-tenths of one percent of
the deficit. More importantly, according to the same
article the arts in Now .Jersey contribute $1 billion in
economic activity and generate $27 million in direct
tax revenues. So, in effect, the governor is assuring
future deficits when state GDP and tax revenues
decline again after this budget is adopted.
From a grassroots perspective, the governor's plan
represents a true crisis for the arts. It will have a devastating effect on countless non-profit arts organizations. Those cuts drastically compound the arts funding problem due to an already-deteriorated environment for fuiulraising. Speaking locally, losing state
support would leave a $40,000 gap in the Westfield
Symphony's budget, necessitating the elimination of
an entire concert from our five-concert season. In
addition, the performances for the rest of next season's program will be cut back. That is in addition to
curtailing important education and outreach projects.
Orchestras, theaters, ballets and museums have
long been recognized as important parts of our communities. Westfield and the surrounding towns —
rare among communities of our size — have the good
fortune to boast a professional symphony orchestra.
The Westfield Symphony provides first-rate musical
experiences in the intimacy of our own venues, and
it's one of the things that make Westfield unique.
More than that, the symphony offers a focal point for
the community, a gathering place. It offers celebration in times of joy, solace in times of mourning, and
education for us and for our children.
The symphony will become much less relevant in
our community without your readers' support. The
governor's draconian proposal still has to pass the
legislature to become law, I ask each person who
believes that music and the arts are a vital part of our
community to get involved. Write or email State Sen.
Thomas H. Kean Jr. and your town's Assemblyman at
www.njleg.state.nj.us and to Gov. McGreevey at
www.state.nj.us/governor, Urge them to restore desperately-needed funding to the Westfield Symphony
and the other state arts organizations and to retain
the State Council on the Arts. Don't let the governor's
proposal rob Westfield of our cultural treasures.

Booster buttons benefit scholarships
To The Record-Press:
The Westfield School Boosters Association
would like to thank everyone who so generously
supported its annual Button Day last fall. The
Boosters would especially like to thank the local
business community for allowing the high school
athletes and booster members to sell buttons at
their stores. The participating businesses were
Bagel Chateau, Clyne & Murphy, Dunkin Donuts,
Drug Fair, Kings, Manhattan Bagel, Robert Treat
Deli, 7-Elevi>n, ShopRite, Stop & Shop, and Town &
Country Gourmet Foods and Liquors. The Boosters
also would like to convey special appreciation to
the United Fund for its support and the use of its
facilities and to Dnvid Flynn, a senior at Westfield
High School, who designed the button for this year.
The Boosters have donated all the proceeds
from Button Day to the Greta Scboenemann
Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship was
established by Westfield
School Boosters
Association in conjunction with The Westfield
Foundation in memory of Greta Schoenemann,
who passed away after the tragic accident at
Westfield High School Sept. 11.
To date, from the sale of Booster buttons and
private donations, $10,000 has been raised to fund
an annual $1,500 scholarship. If anyone else
would like to contribute, donations can be sent to
the Greta Schoenemann Memorial Scholarship,
The Westfield Foundation, 301 North Avenue W,
Westfield, NJ 07090 or to the Westfield School
Boosters Association, PO Box 594, Westfield, NJ
07091-0594.
Once again thanks to everyone who supports
the fundraising efforts of the Westfield School
Boosters Association so that it can continue to provide the Westfield High School athletic teams and
athletes with equipment donations and academic
scholarships.
MIKE TOTH
Chairman, Button Day
Westfield School Boosters Association
Requests for funds are unreasonable
To The Record-Press:
The 14,000 registered voters in Westfield who
never vote should sit up and take notice of the letters to the editor. The parents of the children in
school are beating the drums for more money.
A Jan. 10 letter from one reader wanted n long
list of extracurricular activities included in school
programs and funded with proceeds from the sale of
some building in town. No thought was given to the
possibility thnt the money may be needed elsewhere for something more important.
The Jan. 31 letter from the Westfield School
Boosters Association complains bitterly that the
schools are in a major crisis because the athletic
programs are not fully funded and the parents have
to dig into their own pockets. This criticism and
badgering of the Board of Education is unreasonable and the arguments don't make any sense,
especially since it was these same people that elected the board.
DONALD BEINER
Westfield
T. McDermott would help district
To The Record-Press:
It was with interest that I read the letters to
the editor on -Inn. 24th as Janet Pisznr took
issue with Tom McDermott, the Mayor of
Millburn-Short Hills. It seems Janet disagrees
with how the Millburn-Short Hills Township
Committee has proposed addressing the problem
of deer damaging property within the Township.
I have known Tom McDermott for almost
30 years. I know that he recognizes, represents,
responds to and respects the citizens of MillburnShort Hills. The fact that he has been elected and
re-elected to the Township Committee and currently serves as mayor seems to validate these
observations.
I know of Tom's deep commitment and passion for Millburn-Short Hills. As a lifelong resident he understands the history of the township
and uses this knowledge in basing his decisions on
what is in the best interest of Millburn-Short
Hills.
Millburn-Short Hills is fortunate to have individuals like Tom willing to serve. The residents
of his Assembly district would also be fortunate if
he were to be chosen by the Republican leaders to
replace Tom Kean Jr.

Latest proposals only further cloud state planning policies
ly JOANNE M. HARKIMt
IJ, BUILDERS ASSOCIATION
Having worked in land use
danning for more than 20 years
it the municipal and state govrriment level and for homeminders, I am astounded at the
xtf nt of disarray that now exists
n the state's planning for the
uture of New Jersey.
For all of Gov. McGreevey's
alk about development in his
>ta,te of the State address, he did
lot even mention the New Jersey
state Flan once. It seems to have
aded into oblivion.
The
Department
of
Environmental Protection (DEP),
nstead of using the State Plan
nap as a base for its regulatory
trograms, has prepared its own
naj) of the state. It is referred to
is the "DEP red light-green light
nap." DEP has said that it will
idopt this map as part of one of
s. regulatory programs. Other
'pgrams will reference it. The
EP map identifies green light,
ready-developed areas where it
11 allow some development and
d light areas where it will disurage development. A small
wllow area is a maybe yes,
nay be no area.
In his message, McGreevey
aid we will have "one state
nap." DEP certainly thinks and
cts like the "one state map" will
be the DEP map. That leaves the
adopted State Plan nowhere on
the table.
A review of other documents
leads to the same conclusion. On
Jan. 7, McGreevey signed
Executive Order 43 creating a
Blue Ribbon Transportation
Commission and directing the
New Jersey Department of
Transportation (NJDOT). New
Jersey Transit and the transportation authorities in the state
to, among other things, incorporate the principles of smart
growth and develop plans that
are consistent with New Jersey's
smart growth policies. Again, the
State Plan is not even mentioned.
When asked for a copy of tin*
principles of smart growth and
the smart growth policies to
guide this work, the staff to the
Smart Growth Policy Council,
created by McGreevey with
Executive Order 4 one year ago,
could not provide it. Is smart
growth just more political rhetoric? What has the Smart Growth
Policy Council been doing at its
behind-closed-doors meetings?
Reportedly, most of the commissioners appointed to this council
by the governor do not even
attend its meetings. If- smart
growth is so important to the
governor and future of the state,
how can it be that the appointed
members do not consider it
important enough for thorn to
attend tho meetings?
The Governor made not out*
mention of affordable housing or
the Council on Affordable
Housing (COAH* in his address
oven though then" arc more than
one million low- and moderateincome families in the state, most
of whom need housing assistance. Given the cost of land in
New Jersey, it's not as if affordable housing can be built in the
state without government subsidy or density bonuses, COAH is
more than three years lute in
releasing the affordable housing
need for its third round allocation. The Department of
Community Affairs (DCA) refuses to release any information on
the work to develop a methodology and determination of need
requested under the Open Public
Records Act. Why such a big
secret unless the goal is to create
more formulas with a methodology that no one understands?
It sound.-, like the primary
areas for development will be the
the previously used, but now
abandoned
industrial sites.
Where are the plans and funding
to clean them up so that they can
be used? It's hard to imagine* that
there will be enough available
brownfit'ld sites to meet the
state's housing needs, especially
since many of the sites won't
clean up enough for people to live
on thorn.
Try to find anyone who can
explain sewer planning in the
state to you. It can't even be
called u process. It's more like tin
endless maze of procedures,
Then there is the Im'k of planning to ensure an adequate water
.supply to meet the needs of (lie
state's residents and businesses.

this new housing truly in the best interests of the

I'm not sure how many people in our area are

know about the large number of residences that
the building plan proposes, If readers are concerned about the potential negative impact that
160 new Fanwood residences will have on our
schools in particular and our community in general, I urge you to contact the members of Fanwood's
Borough Council: Katherine Mitchell, Stuart
Kline, Michael Brennan, Andrew Calamaras, David
Trumpp, Council President Joel Whitaker, and
Mayor Louis Jung, You can write to them at
Fanwood Borough Hall, 75 N. Martine Avenue,
Fanwood, NJ 07023.

Letters to the editor
H» T h e Record-Preset
Most of your readers have probably heard or
ead something about the proposed plans for redeeloping downtown Fanwood. Apparently, the
"anwood Borough Council has declared the downown area bordered by Second Street and Martine,
-aGrande and South avenues a "blighted area" and
ire supporting the redevelopment plan.
This plan calls for, among other things, approxmately 160 new housing units (some townhouses,
ome apartments). Although the developer is
laiming that no one with children will be purchasng or renting these domiciles, that strikes me as
tnrealietic. Our school district has a reputation
or excellence, and many current residents moved
o Fanwood or Scotch Plains so that their children
ould be educated here. These new dwellings are
ikely to introduce dozens more children into our
chools, perhaps even hundreds. With our schools
s crowded as they are — and with our local taxes
Why no major plans I'm- the rouse
of treated water instead of dumping most of it into tho oivau, New
Jersey's 1O»K standing"usi 1 it anil
dispose of it" policy?
Why should there be any surprise that wi> have tralVu* congestion under the stale's policy of no
now state roads'.' Tho population
has boon ^rowinn by more than
75,000 residents por yew and
most residents choose to use private auto travel. As people aro
concentrated more ami more into
already-developed areas, these
areas will have more congestion.
Talk about- a policy that will
haunt us for years to come.
Tho IMnelands Coniprohmsivo
Management 1'lau t('MI') preserves about 90 percent of tho
area, while designating about. 10
percent for placow Fur people to
live and work. There, has scarcely
been any state infiastrut'turo
and capital facilities fuiulin^ in
redevelopment of brownficlds,

Donations are needed
for Sept. 11 memorial
Union County's Sept. 11
Memorial Committee is seeking public donations to build a
permanent memorial in Echo
Lake Park.
A total of 58 people from the
county were killed Sept. 11,
2001 when the World Trade
Center collapsed in Lower
Manhattan and a hijacked airliner crashed in western
Pennsylvania.
The monument will be near
the
flagpole
on
the
Mountainside side of the park
where concerts are held in the
summer. Two steel girders that
were recovered from the WTC
site are being incorporated into
the memorial's design.
According to a press release
from the Board of Chosen
Freeholders, $100,000 is needed to cover construction costs
on the memorial. The committee has received $1,450 to date.
A solicitation letter is being
sent to businesses within
Union County. Individual
donations are also being
sought.
Plans are to break ground in
March with a dedication ceremony scheduled for September,
according to the press release.
Donations may be sent to
Union County Sept. 11
Memorial Fund, c/o Office of
the
County
Manager,

More action is needed to limit tobacco damagt
(ARA) - The tobacco control
policies and laws of every state
in the United Stntes have been
analyzed by the American Lung
Association,and many states
got failing grades for regulations that fall well short of protecting their citizens' health or
reducing the estimated 440,000
annual deaths from smokingrelated diseases.
The public can help fight the
devastating impact of tobacco
through actions such as supporting important changes in
state laws and policies as well
as by making decisions to limit
tobacco and secondhand smoke
in their personal lives. The
Lung Association suggests the

WATCH YOUR BACK!
People with back pain may be inadvertently
changing the way they use their muscles in
an effort to protect their backs. In the
process, they may be introducing themselves
to reinjury. This possibility is suggested by a
study that found that those with back
injuries experienced twice as much twbting
force and 1 1/2 times as much compressive
force on their spines as healthy individuals
when performing the same tasks (such as lifting). The reason cited for this difference was
that people with back pain guard the injured
area by using more than the muscles
required. Moreover, those extra muscles are
not necessarily working in concert. With this
in mind, physical therapy should include
instruction on relearning to use muscles naturally.
Physical iherapy for a back problem wilt
not only help >-ou gel back on your feel, but
it will also help you leatn to do simple operations in ways that do not stress the injured
area, allowing you to heal more quickry and
completely. For appointment, insurance, and
referral information, phone K l l REHABILITATION & SPORTS MIDrCINE at (908) 272-
5955. We ate conveniently located at 777
Walnut Ave., Cranford. Most private insurances are accepted. Auto Insurance Claims
are our specialty, and we will submit your
bills for compensation. No faults &
Medicare.
PS. Injured people also tend to lift objects more slowly, which increases the length of time the
spine must endure extra forces.

STAFF WRITER
CRANFORD — Saturday will
mark the end of the campaign trail
for District 21 Assembly hopefuls,
as the candidate for the Assembly
seat vacated by Tom Kean Jr. will
be chosen at a special convention
of Republican party delegates.
Among those vying for the seat
is former Cranford mayor Phil
Morin, who recently completed his
final term on the Township
Committee.
Morin has been campaigning
hard for the seat, having contacted
the nearly 400 delegates in Union
County though door-to-door visits,
phone calls and mailings.
"The personal interaction is
most important in separating the
candidates. Every one of the candidates has good credentials; it's a
matter of how the delegates feel
about the person representing
them," he said.
The door-to-door campaigning
is nothing new for Morin, who
went through a similar process
when running for Township
Committee.
"i The 400 delegates are^ far loss
of a number of doors than when 1
ran for office in Cranford. It's just
more spread out. I certainly know
a lot alnnit the community. If 1 didn't already know. I certainly would
know now," he said.
Morm said the race to till
Kean's seat has been "like a microcosm of a full campaign," full of
hi^hs and lows and the- shilling
tide of momentum.
As the campaign nears its close.
Morin likes his chances. "1 feel
very good that 1 will 1have the support necessary to IK successful at
the convention," he said.
Morin said he Ix'lieves the vote
will IK' a close one, with the outcome determined "by a handful of
votes."
"1 certainly think it will bo a
close race. What each of the candidates does over the next four days
is critical." he said Tuesday.
Morin said on Saturday morn-
ing there will bo a "mini-convention" during which the Union
County delegates vote on their
candidate. "1 hope we'll all support
that candidate and be unified
going into the convention," ht> said.
When talking to delegates,
Morin said he has tried to stress
his leadership capabilities.
"It's important that people
understand that 1 have the experience, particularly leadership experience as a mayor and deputy
mayor. 1 know how stale budgets
impact the municipal budget." he
said.
Another key to his candidacy is
the fact that Cranford has the
largest number of delegates at the
convention. "I need tlu-in to U- out
in force," he said.
Morin said there are (50 town
ship delegates anil that he's
counting on "between :V1 and .ri8"
being at the convention.
As an Assemblyman, Morin
said he would focus on smart
growth, controlling sprawl and
controlling auto insurance and
health insurance costs.
.
"I havo the strengths to deal
with smart growth and controlling sprawl. 1 have experience in
Ci.mlonl and as an environmental attorney in preserving open
sp.u-e and working on development projects tor communities,
he >uiil.
lie said he is concerned that
recent initiatives by the state
leadership may impair the ability
of local ami county authorities to
control planning and development
decisions.
Menu saul lie- also has "a handle on medical insurance and car
insurance." Regarding medical
insurance, Morin sail! the only
way to limit premiums is to limit
damages awarded in lawsuits.
Morin said he is feeling the
same nervous energy he has felt
prior to each of his elections, but
at least he'll know the outcome a
lot sooner this time around.
"Election Day is a long day. At
least (thin time) we'll know in a
couple hours," he said.

A Broadway classic rich in
humor and eloquent in song,
"South Pacific" is considered by
many to be one of the best
musicals written and features
an unforgettable score of
enduring standards, including
"Some Enchanted Evening,"
"Bali Ha'i," "A Wonderful Guy,"
and "I'm Gonna Wash That
Man Right Outta My Hair."

however, is certainly not mired in tradition. The
work has dialogued with saints, Egyptian queens.
nymphs, devils ;UK! angels. More abstract pieces
have expressed organic life in flora and fauna.
There are also non-representational, geometric
pieces along with diagrammatic figures in stainless
steel.
Some members have moved into sculpture from
painting, printmaking, poetry, archeology or science. With these artists we often find unusual
media: polyester resin, encaustic with handmade
pa|x>r, plastic housewares, recycled ancient tools,
neon lights, aluminum metal ducts. There are also
installations in metal mesh and mylar plus complete rooms. Some show humorous or environmental concerns.

IARA) — Whether you are
head over heels in love, starting
an exciting new relationship or

Valentine's Day provides the
perfect excuse to celebrate, and
incorporating romantic drinks
into an evening assures a memorable one. Luckily, there is no

may be as close as your nearest
liquor store.
For those involved in a cozy
and committed love affair, plan a
romantic dinner that includes
candlelight, soft music and the
seductive taste of Bunratty
Meade. Known a s the Irish
aphrodisiac, Meade is the original wine of passion. Attributed
with legendary powers of virility
and fertility, Bunratty Meade is
a delicate yet potent drink made
from a traditional fermented
honey recipe and white wine.
Enjoyed throughout Irish history to promote the well-being of
newlyweds, Meade is the fire
and flame that fuels desire in
young couples. In fact, Irish folklore claims that brides and
grooms consumed Meade for one
full moon after their wedding,
hence the name "honeymoon."

favorite soothing music, preparing her a hot bubble bath and a
mixing up a spritzer made from
chilled Bunratty Meade and

Raiders clinch top seed with win over Vikings
THE RECORD-PRESS
The Westfield High bowling
team knew that with all five
starters returning from a team
that finished fourth in the state
last season, there was limitless
potential for a banner year this
season.
The Blue Devils crossed roadblock after roadblock during the
regular season, never having all
five starters in the lineup at the
same time for a variety of reason,
but managed to win the
Watchung Conference title. A tactical error kept the top-five from
competing together for the Union
County Tournament title as
Westfield finished fourth.
Finally, in the sectional tournament Saturday, Westfield had
all the pieces together, and finished with a 3,145 total to win its
third consecutive North Jersey
Section 2 title and sixth in the
last eight years, to advance to
today's state championship at
Brunswick Zone Carolier Lanes
in North Brunswick.
An
unprecedented
four
Westfield bowlers advanced to
the individual championships as
Matt Rothstein finished first in
the section with a 692 series.
Andrew Royston finished fifth
with a 648, Willy Masket and
Brian Sanders tied for ninth with
a 635. Scott Villa, who bowled the
first game without his glasses
after they broke and finished
with a 137, came back with a 226
third game and a 535 series.
"It's a very big accomplishment anytime you can win a sectional title three years in a row,"
said Head Coach Mike Tirone.
"Because bowling isn't like other
sports where you can dominate
so much. Everything has to come
together that day. There are so
many good teams and so many
good bowlers every year that it is
quite an accomplishment.
"I think (experience) was a big
help. We've won it before and

Clinton car dealer
sporting a new look
Even the happiest newlyweds can be stressed by choosing their first new car.
CLINTON — There's a now
look on Route 31 South in
Clinton that's attracting a lot of
attention. The all-new Clinton
Cadillac-Chevrolet Dealership
has brightened up the neighborhood.
A new state-of-the-art showroom marks the location of the
newest member of the
Flemington Car and Truck
Country Family of Dealerships.
"There's been a ear dealership at this location for at least
25 years, but nothing can compare to the beautiful showroom
and technology-advanced shop
that Clinton Cadillac-Chevrolet
has today," said Byron Brisby,
president and CEO of
Flemington and Clinton Car
and Truck Country.

to see how men and women

"Men and women look at

says John Dtivin, host ant)
executive producer of
MotorWoek, the award-winning PBS weekly automotive
magazine show. "Women tend
to consider the practical
aspects of a car, while men are
inclined to think of a vehicle as

details such as whether a driver can operate small control
buttons with long fingernails
are an is.stie for many w<mien
consumers.
Men, on the other hand,
want to know how a car will
drive, what options are available and how well a vehicle's
image reflects their own.
Theirs is a more emotional,
gut-level decision.
So how can people with
such different perspectives
come together to make a purchase that pleaseH both? Davis
suggests some ways for couples
to successfully navigate the
car-buying process.
A First, have a good idea of
what you both want before you
go in to talk to a dealer. Take
time to discuss what's important to each of you and decide

ment and computerized technology benefits our customers,"
said Ron Gwinnett, service
manager who just joined the
Clinton team after 18 years
with Flemington Car and Truck
Country.
"We focus on making our customers happy whether they are
browsing the showroom in
search of the perfect vehicle or
having their current vehicle in
for servicing," said Brisby. "We
tire a low pressure dealership
with knowledgeable, friendly
Hales associates. We've been
attracting a great deal of attention since we've come under the
Kiemington Car and Truck
Country umbrella."
Kxpected to make a huge
splash is the 2003 Cadillac
Escalade ESV, with an extended
body for more cargo space. The
world's most powerful SUV
retails at under $54,000.
Clinton Cadillac-Chevrolet,
located on Kouto 31 South just
south of Route 78, is a member
of the Clinton Car and Truck
Country Family of Dealerships.
2003 Town Car is awarded
eight specific areas of vehicle
performance and design that
identify what consumers like
and dislike about their new
vehicles during the first 90
days of ownership.
The accolade should come
as no surprise to owners of
this enduring model; almost
60 percent of Town Car customers are repeat buyers, and
65 percent of them say they
don't even consider another
vehicle.
