Paul R. Nardoni Oncology Pavilion opens at Somerset Medical Center
PHOTO COURTESY THE NARDONI FAMILY
Ellen and Paul R. Nardoni pose for a wedding photo on a winding staircase. The couple were married only a short time
when Paul succumbed to Hodgkin's Disease at the age of 32 on April 17, 2001. On Tuesday, Somerset Medical Center will
unveil a new addition to the hospital, an oncology wing named in Paul's honor.
Cancer victim's legacy:
'Seize the moment'
By ROD fflRSCH
Staff Writer
SOMERVILLE — Outside on the brick fagade of the
new addition, the sign reads "The Paul R. Nardoni
Oncology Pavilion."
But inside it's Paul's Place.
Earlier this week, his wife Ellen walked the hallways
and poked her head into the rooms of the new facility at
Somerset Medical Center, making certain that everything
would be ready for tomorrow's invitation-only
reception for friends, family and others involved with the
Paul R. Nardoni Foundation.
The facility will begin accepting patients next week,
with a tour and open for staff and friends of the hospital
scheduled Tuesday.
Nardoni's wife, his parents and friends have made sure
that the 35-bed state-of-the-art facility epitomizes the
spirit of its namesake, a young man who preferred to go
barefoot and sail the Mediterranean, a man who adored
the outdoors, loved the Rockies and loved to snowboard,
a world class chef who demanded a good meal when he
went out and never thought twice about sending it back
to the kitchen if it didn't meet his exacting standards, a
rabid baseball fan and man of conviction not afraid to
question Yankee manager Joe Torre to his face, a man
who scoffed at the odds, and a son and husband who
revered family, loved people and loved life — even when
it conspired to steal his vitality at an age when most people
are just beginning to live life.
Those who knew him will tell you he had a sharp
tongue and a soft heart, a zest for life and a determination
to live life to its fullest.
"He never put a limit on himself. When he got up in the
morning, he'd always ask, 'What are we going to do
today?'" his wife explained.

PISCATAWAY o
Budget has I
flat tax rate
PISCATAWAY — For the first time
in recent memory, township residents
will cast ballots on a proposed school
budget that includes no increase in
the tax levy.
The 2005-06 budget maintains current
instructional programs that have
steadily increased standardized test
scores throughout the district, and it
maintains class size and extracurricular
programs such as athletics, band,
and other student activities, officials
said.
The proposed budget also includes a
second question on the ballot. Voters
will be asked to determine whether
die district should provide full-day
kindergarten. If approved, this initiative
will add $26.82 per year to the tax
bill on the average home assessed at
$109,000.
"This is a phenomenal budget that
will strengthen student achievement
and home property values," said Paul
A. Herman, president of the Board of
Education. "This is a student-centered,
education-driven budget that is
still sensitive to die needs of taxpayers."
Superintendent of Schools Robert L.
Copeland said the proposed budget
directs dollars to where they matter
most — classroom instruction, curriculum
supervision and redesign, and student
services.
"The administration worked with
the board to develop a fiscally-sound
program budget that focuses on student
achievement," he said. "This budget
emphasizes early intervention and
instruction, rather than later remediation."
The 2005-06 proposed budget totals
$86.7 million, with $66.8 million
raised dirough the local tax levy, the
same as the 2004-05 school budget.
Although the proposed budget
includes a spending increase, the
administration has applied fund balance,
or surplus, and alternative
sources of income to offset the additional
costs. The district is also committed
to keeping as many special
education students as possible in their
local schools rather than sending
them to out-of-district private schools
that charge high tuitions.
"The board of education is very
aware of the burden on Piscataway
taxpayers who do not receive their fair
share of state school aid, compared to
other similar districts," Herman said.
"We are using all available sources of
funds to provide tax relief."
Holding the line on taxes was no
easy feat, commented Jerry T.
Mahoney, vice president of the board
of education and chair of the Finance
Committee. "Energy costs will
increase, transportation is up 15 percent,
insurance is up 15 percent, and
state aid is flat for the third year in a
row."
Among the educational initiatives
included in the proposed school budget
is the expansion of the AVID program
at the middle and high school
levels. AVID is a program that assists

Fan Fest welcomes Patriots' loyal supporters
By ROD HIRSCH
Staff Writer
BRIDGEWATER — The
Somerset Patriots' front
office staff got to work on
the 2005 season even as the
infield dust settled from
the final out of the 2004
season, and with just four
weeks to go before opening day, the official
start of the pre-season kicks off today at the
ballpark with a "doubleheader" — Open
Tryouts and Fan Fest.
There's no admission charge for the fifth
annual Fan Fest, which begins at 1 p.m., but
for those players who hope to catch the eye
of manager Sparky Lyle and pitching coach
John Montefusco, there's a $40 sign-up fee
to audition. Proceeds are donated to the
Patriots Charity Fund. Signups begin 9 a.m.
For those who want to arrive early, the tryouts
are open to the public, begin at 10 a.m.
and conclude at 1 p.m.
The team will also host a
special collection event for
Operation: Shoebox New
Jersey 2005 in conjunction
with Fan Fest. Patriotic
fans will be eligible for a
free ticket.
Operation: Shoebox New
Jersey 2005 maintains a
supply line of personal items that are
shipped to soldiers overseas on a monthly
basis. OPSHBX volunteers will be at the
ballpark all day collecting donated items
needed by the troops — toothbrushes, toothpaste,
soap, eye drops, ear swabs, razors, lip
balm, suntan lotion, snacks, drink mixes,
bug spray and other personal items.
Volunteers will also be taking orders for

How to contribute
Operation: Shoebox New Jersey
2005, in partnership with American 0PHAU08
Recreational Military Services is
seeking cash donations in support of
their ongoing effort to supply
American forces overseas with a
steady supply of personal items, toiletries
and snacks.
ARMS is a registered S01(c)(3) non-profit organization under the
Internal Revenue Service code. All contributions are tax-deductible.
All contributions are dedicated to the purchase of supplies and costs
of shipping. ARMS/Operation: Shoebox New Jersey 2005 is an all-volunteer
operation. Depending on weight, it costs between $8 and $15 to
ship each box overseas.
Checks should be made out to ARMS, with the instructions
"Operation Shoebox NJ 2005" written on the memo line. Checks
should be mailed to:
Operation: Shoebox New Jersey 2005, c/o The Reporter, 44 Veterans

shirts, with all proceeds going
to buy supplies or pay for shipping
costs.
For every fan who buys a ticket
and donates items for the soldiers
in Iraq, the Patriots will
add a second ticket for free.
There will be live music,
clowns, and contests with special
prizes. A speed pitch booth
will be set up on the concourse,
along with carnival style games
for all children, including the
"Moon Bounce" and other
games. Patriots' mascot
Sparkee will be at the ballpark
to meet and greet fans.
Once the try-outs conclude,
there will be an 1880's-style
baseball game played on the
field between the Flemington
Neshanock and the Elizabeth
Resolutes.
Last year, the Patriots signed
two players who showed up for
the try-outs - first baseman/outfielder
Paul Ottaviani and
pitcher Bryan Malko.
Though the Patriots were a
huge success at the box office
in 2004, setting a new single

season attendance record of
376,000, they came up short in
the standings. The defending
2003 Atlantic League champions
failed to reach the playoffs
in either half of the season.
"I guarantee you right now,
we're going to be in the playoffs
at the end of this year," manager
Sparky Lyle said last week
during a brief visit to the ballpark.
That's exactly what fans are
expecting from a revamped
lineup that will include the
likes of All-Star third-baseman
Billy Hall, a fan favorite who
rejoins the team after a twoyear
absence. Hall, who played
for the Patriots during the
2000-2002 seasons, holds the
Atlantic League record with
104 stolen bases in 2000.
Once Lyle and Montefusco
are done evaluating the talent,
they'll mingle with fans in the
grandstand and on the concourse,
signing autographs.
Fan Fest also includes raffles
for special prizes such as taking
batting practice with Lyle

Cancer
Continued from page A1
32 on April 17,2001.
He had gone through a regimen
of chemotherapy,
immunotherapy and a stem cell
transplant. Yet, weakened by
the cancer that wracked his
body, he never lost sense of purpose,
his love of life or concern
for others' well being.
Even as he faced the
inevitable, Paul embraced life,
planning a Mediterranean
cruise from Athens to Istanbul
for his wife and parents on one
of the four-masted schooners he
worked on and loved so well.
Caring about others — that is
his legacy.
When you're sick, bedridden,
hooked up to tubes and monitors,
your perspective changes;
the things you took for granted,
little things, are sometimes
beyond reach or reason.
Nardoni lived in that world off
and on for five years, rarely
complaining but often critical
that bis caregivers overlooked
the little things that matter
most.
He couldn't cure cancer —
but he could do something to
ease the day-to-day regimen of
boring routines, empty hours
and discomfort that characterized
the overnights and extended
stays in sterile and impersonal
hospital rooms.
Even as he suffered, his overriding
concern was for those
who spent countless hours visiting
with him in the hospital.
In his dying days, he implored
his wife, parents and friends to
work on the little things.
Nardoni's wife, his parents
Roseann and Ren and sister
Renee have done just that.
"Paul never gave up and he
made sure that we never did
either," said his mother,
Roseann Nardoni, president of
the foundation, based in
Whitehouse Station. "His message
was living, not dying."
They established the Paul R.
Nardoni Foundation to carry
out his wishes.
They started small, presenting
a gift of $11,500 to the hospital
in 2002 to decorate and
renovate the family room in the
oncology unit. They bought new
furniture, a personal computer
and printer, air mattresses,
DVD players, VCRs, CDs and
DVDs, puzzles, craft supplies,
books, board games, even
crayons. The gift also helped to
establish a special needs fund
for medication, wigs and prosthetics.
Each of those gifts embody
the "life is meant to be lived"
philosophy of the foundation
— providing creature comforts,
diversions and an opportunity
for family to visit, relax
and enjoy the moment.
The small gift was the start
of a relationship that blossomed.
The foundation continued
to work closely with

Somerset Medical Center, and
in 2004, made a commitment
to the hospital's $100 million
"Breaking New Ground" capital
campaign, presenting
$500,000 to the hospital, a gift
that would ensure Nardoni's
desires would be carried out.
The gift helped Somerset
Medical Center realize its goal
of establishing a cancer care
unit in central New Jersey that
affords doctors, their patients
and families an opportunity to
stay closer to home, eliminating
much of the stress and
angst that comes with having
to travel to New York City of
Philadelphia hospitals for
treatment.
Each one of the rooms is a
tribute to Nardoni, who was
guided by a simple philosophy
— Carpa Diem (Seize the
Day).
The Latin term is written in
large letters across the wall of
each room in the unit.
"It was a feeling he had, it
was something he did each
day," his wife explained. "He
would grab your cell phone,
and program those words; he
did it to mine, my dad's, his
mother his father. Seize the
day — it was kind of like a little
family thing."
The foundation established a
Carpe Diem program that
makes special things happen
for cancer patients and their
families, like a romantic carriage
ride in New York's
Central Park, or a quiet dinner
for two at a restaurant.

Board member Edward
Eodice Jr. commended the
administration for crafting
a budget that reflects the
board's decision to keep
taxes down, but still supports
student achievement.
Board member Catherine

his method of filleting and
preparing salmon. He also
gave them some insight into
the production end of the
business.
This type of educational
support from the business
community gives students an
opportunity to enhance their
own techniques in preparing
menus they have created in
their classroom kitchen.

Who gets
the money?
In Somerset County, $300,000 in homeland
security funds will be spent to create a countywide
reverse-911 phone system. In Newark, a
portion of an emergency preparedness grant was
used to purchase a $174,804 garbage truck and
fund part of the purchase price of a second one.
Both were made in the name of protecting citizens
in the event of a terrorist attack or other
kinds of mass-scaie disasters. One, when applied
to this role, makes sense, the other does not,
unless you consider hauling debris vital to protecting
people as an attack is taking place..
The reverse-911 phone system is a great asset
to Somerset County. During a press conference
held Tuesday to announce the funding, Somerset
County Sheriff Frank Provenzano said the system
can be used for more than just terrorist attacks —
it can warn those in low-lying areas of impending
flooding, it can help in putting out Amber alerts or
warn of a toxic spill. It is a practical addition that
will help people.
The county got the funds to create the system
by applying for a grant from the Federal government.
That pool of money came from the Fiscal
Year 2005 Commerce-Justice-State
Appropriations Bill, a cumbersome title that basically
created yet another funding source for
homeland security projects.
One question, though, is who decides what
money Somerset County should go after and
what the money should be used for?
In the case of the $300,000, the funds had to
be used for technological upgrades. There also
Prescription drug
program helping
By BOB FRANKS
All too often we hear the heart-wrenching stories
of patients who make a difficult choice — a choice
between buying food or buying life-saving, lifeenhancing
prescription medicines.
I recently met Lisa Yourman, the mother of two
children with cystic fibrosis, who was once confronted
with that choice. Her daughter Sarah, an
effervescent 14-year-old, takes over 60 pills a day
for her illness and has prescription drug bills that
total nearly $11,000 per month.
While Lisa wants Sarah to have the best medicine
available, cost is unquestionably a concern.
Fortunately Lisa found help through a pharmaceutical
company's patient assistance program, which
provided discounted drugs for Sarah.
Not everyone is as lucky as Sarah. Most patients
don't know that help is available and don't know
where to turn. As a result, the majority of patients
go without their necessary medication in order to
meet other urgent needs.
New Jersey's pharmaceutical and medical technology
industry doesn't believe anyone who truly
needs prescription medicine should have to weigh
those choices. We believe that patients should
have and must have access to the world's best and
most effective medicine wherever their doctors prescribe
them. We also believe that patients should
be able to access them as simply and as quickly as
possible.
In an effort to get medicine into the hands of
those patients who cannot afford it, we have created
Rx4NJ. The purpose of the program is to make
it easier for patients to find out about programs
they may qualify for and how to easily connect to
them. There are no age requirements and the program
is absolutely free of charge.

can be no question that a reverse-911 system
makes sense for the county. But what about
questionable uses of homeland security money?
Such as, for example, a garbage truck.
There have been millions dolled out to states,
counties and municipalities nationwide — from
New Jersey to North Dakota to American Samoa.
Yet, New Jersey, with its ports, airports, expressways
and bridges and tunnels connecting New
York City with the rest of the country, gets a
smaller portion of the pot each year. Federal
homeland security grants to the state were cut
more than 30 percent this year.
Since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the
state has received more than $300 million in
counterterrorism funds. But, when you compare
the money spent with our population (some 8.638
million), it's a sobering $6.45 per person.
In American Samoa, it's $37.74 per person and
in North Dakota, $30.82.
When speaking about the cutbacks, New
Jersey Attorney General Peter Harvey said the
Garden State will have to scaie back its plans to
purchase field hospitals, decontamination shelters
and protective clothing for search and rescue
teams.
At some point, citizens need to become
involved with how homeland security money is
spent at every level, from the federal down to the
local. We have input on expressway projects and
whenever there is a plan for a new pocket park,
so why not when it comes to our nation's security?
Rx4NJ, a partnership for prescription assistance,
is supported by a broad network of patient advocacy
groups, health care and civic groups, and New
Jersey's pharmaceutical and medical technology
companies. All these partners share a common
goal: to help low-income, uninsured patients get
free or nearly free brand-name medicine.
Rx4NJ will enable patients, caregivers and medical
professionals to access more than 150 pharmaceutical
company patient assistance programs
as well as an equal number of state, federal and
patient advocacy — and now it's all in one place.
By simply calling (888) RX FOR NJ or visiting
www.rx4nj.org, patients will quickly, simply and confidentially
learn which programs they may qualify
for. Patients will have access to programs covering
more than 1,400 branded prescription medicines.
In addition, those who contact Rx4NJ will learn
about government programs for which they may
qualify. Highly trained and bilingual specialists will
help patients fill out forms and identity programs.
Last year more than 5 million patients received
prescription medicine through one or more patient
assistance programs. Still there is a vast underserved
population in New Jersey that needs
access to help. In the coming months Rx4NJ will
be conducting an aggressive promotional and outreach
campaign to let patients know that help is
now available.
Our goal is simple but compelling. We want to
make sure that every New Jersey patient who qualifies
for a patient assistance program receives the
help he needs.
The writer is president of the Healthcare Institute
of New Jersey, a trade association that serves as
principal sponsor of Rx4NJ. He is a former congressman
from New Jersey.
"It's important for children these days to appreciate what our men and women are doing

to walk around the stands again, we're real anxious to get out and about."

Letters to the Editor
Heart disease
remains killer
To The Editor:
In the world of medical
research men and women are
not the same. Most of us are
aware that the two sexes tend
to suffer from different diseases.
It is also increasingly
clear that women do not always
benefit from the treatments
that work for men.
Heart disease, stroke, diabetes
and depression all affect
the sexes differently.
The Divisions of Preventive
Medicine, a consortium of some
of our nations leading medical
institutions, have placed a new
emphasis on gender-specific
research. One prominent result
is that aspirin lowers stroke risk
in women but does not afford
the same protection as it does
for men, where it reduces risk
of heart attack. The aspirin
study underscores the value of
conducting clinical studies that
determine how illnesses and
treatments affect women and
men differently.
The Institute of Medicine, a
component of the National
Academy of Sciences, released
an extensive report regarding
the influence gender has on
human health. The report
explores the unique responses
men and women have to medications
and diseases. They conclude
that while progress has
been made to include women in
clinical studies, in order for the
research to be truly valuable,
the actual differences between
the genders must be investigated
and understood as well.
We know that heart disease is
the leading cause of death in
women, exceeding even breast
cancer. However women with
heart disease have not been
diagnosed as early as they
might have been because the
symptoms they exhibit are dif-
ferent than the typical symptoms
seen in men. In addition,
New Jersey has the highest rate
of women suffering from AIDS
in the nation and a higher than
average rate of breast cancer.
In light of these facts, the
State Legislature, in 2003, created
a special office to focus on
these crucial health concerns.
The New Jersey Office on
Women's Health was created
with a mandate to promote the
prevention and early detection
of diseases in women. It was to
fund research efforts, as well as
provide information and outreach
services. Unfortunately,
although the office was
assigned a variety of additional
responsibilities, it never
received any state funding
which would have enabled it to
fulfill its laudable mission.
New Jersey is currently in the
throes of solving an enormous
budget deficit. However, recent
negotiations indicate there is
promise of Horizon Blue Cross
converting from a not-for-profit
to a for-profit entity. The mechanism
employed would create a
large pool of funding dedicated
to health care initiatives. It is
my sincere hope that my colleagues
will join me and see the
wisdom of dedicating some of
this funding to increase our
evolving knowledge about how
disease uniquely affects
women.
The Office of Women's Health
can be a vehicle enabling New
Jersey to truly improve the
health and longevity of our
mothers, our daughters, our
spouses, our friends.

Bankruptcy is
being abused
To The Editor:
Each year, 1.5 million people
in the U.S. file for bankruptcy.
Under current law, many people
with the ability to repay at
least a portion of the money fail
to do so. They simply walk away
from their financial obligations.
The U.S. Senate recently
passed legislation making it
easier for banks, retailers, credit
card companies and other
creditors to recoup some of the
money they are owed by people
who file for bankruptcy. As a
mortgage lending institution,
First Hallmark Mortgage
Corporation endorses this legislation.
The bankruptcy system has
been abused for far too long.
We favor a system that will protect
lenders/creditors from such
abuse while at the same time,
afford protection to consumers
with unfortunate circumstances
who trulv need bank-
ruptcy protection to function
and regroup. We are confident
this bill will do just that.
As a lending institution that
specializes in a bankruptcy
bailout program, we know all
too well the financial difficulties
consumers face. Many are
in dire need, but there are also
many who have the ability to
repay at least some portion of
their debt. Unfortunately, current
bankruptcy law gives them
a free ticket to shirk their
responsibilities. It's time to
make those who abuse the system
stand up and be accountable.
We encourage the New Jersey
congressional delegation and
President Bush to follow the
Senate's lead by passing this
bill and signing it into law.

Defibrillators, CPR
save lives each day
To The Editor:
Fm like many of you. Fm a
New Jersey resident, a father,
Fm involved in my community
and I go to work every day.
like many of you, I never gave
too much thought to the importance
of CPR and defibrillators.
That was until I almost died on
a baseball field on June 28.
Fm writing on behalf of the
American Heart Association to
urge New Jersey residents, citizens
and parents to learn CPR
and support defibrillator programs
in your community at all
athletic and sports facilities,
such as ball fields, gyms, arenas
and stadiums.
The year prior to my incident
some coaches and I worked to
obtain a defibrillator for the
Lawrence Junior Baseball
Softball Association. It was precautionary.
Bristol-Myers
Squibb Co. graciously helped us
with the acquisition, but I never
imagined it would be my life
that would be saved.
On June 28,1 went to see my
son play in a baseball game. For
some reason I went to the wrong
field. For me that day it was the
right field because the defibrillator
was at that field. I was having
a conversation when I suddenly
collapsed, I was 53 and I
was clinically dead. I had no
heartbeat or pulse. I was not
breathing.
Surviving cardiac arrest,
which kills at least 250,000 people
very year, is all about time,
says the American Heart
Association. Few victims survive
after 10 minutes. Without early
CPR brain damage can begin in
3 to 5 minutes.
I was very lucky. Other parents
and coaches immediately
called 911 and started early
CPR. Early CPR keeps oxygen
going to the brain and buys a little
time. The defibrillator was
rushed to me and I was shocked
back to life after about 7 minutes.
April 8-16 is CPR Week. The
theme of CPR Week is "Heroes
Aren't Born, They're Trained —
Learn CPR." How true that is.
More than 70 hospitals, health
departments and other public
sites are partnering with the
American Heart Association to
offer the public CPR training
for free. Call (877) AHA-4-CPR
to learn more, or to find a site
near you. Learn CPR and you
might some day save a parent, a
child, a friend or neighbor, even
a baseball coach.

Sunday school classes that we
would like sent to our military
personnel through Operation
Shoebox. The children in these
classes wanted to express their
thanks and appreciation to the
many men and women who are

and well wishes. We want to
thank you, as well, for organizing
this drive, and appreciate all
you are doing to support our
troops - God bless your efforts."
The cards will be shipped to
the soldiers next week, along
with the supplies we've collected
over the past three weeks.
Thanks from Iraq
There's nothing better than
knowing our efforts are appreciated
by the soldiers we're
working for. Here's an e-mail
we received last week from
Iraq:
Hi. My name is SFC Delroy
Mckay. I want to thank you for

Spring sports get started this weekend
Edison baseball squad will look to rebuild
By DAVE ALLENA
Staff Writer
EDISON — Untested at the varsity
level in some spots and young in others
the Eagles will face a big challenge this
spring to approach last year's performance.
With only one pitcher and three other
position players returning from a year
ago when it went 18-8, finished second in
the Red Division and reached the GMC
To n orna merit semifinals, the Edison High
baseball squad has its work cut out as it
will bank on a junior-dominated team to
get the job done.
Vinnie Abene begins his third season
as head coach knowing what happens
this year will depend on how his quartet
of junior hurlers develops.
There's no doubt our pitching will be
the key," he said. "Those guys will have
to keep us in the game. I've been here for
six years, and it's the most inexperienced
team that we've had, especially with the
pitching.
"We always worry about our division
first. We hope to lingering around in May
still with a shot to win it. We always set a
goal of qualifying for the state tournament.
Only time will tell how we do. The
five guys who will be pitching will tell a
lot about how the season goes."
Nick Reider was the only one of the
five junior right-handers to see time on
the varsity mound a year ago, and he had
some very good efforts as the No. 4 man
in the rotation as he fashioned a 5-2
record. He figures to the Eagles' top gun
this spring.
The next four spots are still to be
worked out as Jon Mendez, Dave
Zavistoski, Nate Fabretti and Mo Riley
are vying for their spots in the rotation.
"Nick has been solid during the scrimmages,"
Abene said. "He throws strikes.
He's a workhorse out there. I'm going to
throw him as often as I can. He can play
anywhere on the field, but I want to rest
him so he's ready to go when he has to
pitch.
"The other guys look like pitchers who
haven't pitched against varsity hitters
before. They're having a problem, finding
the zone. They're finding out that
when they get behind a varsity hitter
and have to come in with a fastball
they're going to get hit. I have no problems
giving any of them the ball, but
there are going to be some growing
pains."
Along with the changeover in pitching
staff Edison will also miss the services
of Derek Gianakas behind the plate.
Junior Tim Lowe and sophomore Kyle
Costanzo are vying for that spot.
The Eagles' three returning starters
are seniors Mike Shymanski and Jack
Spernal and Zavistoski. Shymasnki will
play third base for the third straight
year, Spernal returns in center field,
while Zavistoski will switch from second
to shortstop.
Junior Ed Meyer will start at first base
with senior Rakesh Patel also getting
some time there, while sophomores
Julian Lagunas and Kevin Ryan are
vying for the start at second. Mendez
will play shortstop on the days when
Zavistoksi pitches, and Rieder will likely
by the DH.
Competing for the two corner outfield
posts have been seniors Mike Owsiany
and Mark Chudman along with junior
Bryan Elvina.
"We're returning only two guys to the
lineup, so we're going to have seven new
guys in there," Abene said. "We're
expecting a lot from our third baseman
Mike Shymanski. As a senior we need
him to step up and lead the younger
guys.
"We're going to have to make a lot of
things happen. We'll have to play small
ball — move guys around. We have to
score when we have the opportunity.
When we have guys in scoring position
we're going to have to take advantage of
those situations.
"I think we'll be solid defensively.
We're returning two guys up the middle
(Spernal and Zavistoski), but we lost our
catcher. I think we'll make the routine
plays. I don't think we have anyone that
is going to make the outstanding play,
but we'll make the play right at us."

Senz gives South Plainfield chance to compete
By DAVE ALLENA
Staff Writer
SOUTH PLATNFIELD — Once
again the Tigers have the one key
ingredient that every softball team
needs — a quality pitcher capable of
shutting down the opposition.
Now all the South Plainfield High
has to do is produce a defense that
can back up the efforts of senior
pitcher Jessica Senz and put a couple
of runs on the Scoreboard each game
and it figures to be a force once again
the Greater Middlesex Conference.
Beginning her fourth season as the
Tigers' top hurler Senz is the one of
the few givens South Plainfield will
have at the start of the season as some
of the five other veteran players will
find themselves in new positions this
spring.
Don Panzarella begins his 24th season
as head coach not knowing completely
what to expect because of the
various changes that have been made.
"We have a few kids coming back
who have been around, but we also
have a lot of young kids, too," he said.
"I think we're capable of being competitive.
I'm hoping Jess can keep us
in games, and if we play good defense
we should be OK. I have an all-county
pitcher, and any time you have a
pitcher like that it's a good place to
start.
"We could end up with a whole new
infield, and we'll have some young
players on the varsity for the first
time. It's going to tough because
we're dealing with so many new kids
in the lineup. They're going to make
mistakes, but they have been getting
better every day.
"I'm looking forward to the challenge.
It's the first time in a long
while I've had this many young players.
So far in our scrimmages we've
been up and down. I've seen some
good things, and I see some things we
need to work on."
Whether the Tigers can approach
last year's 20-5 record and runnerup
finish in the GMC's White Division
remains to be seed.
"It's tough to say what we can do,"
Panzarella said. "(Defending champion)
Carteret will be good again, and
teams like Kennedy, Colonia and
North Brunswick should all be
improved. I think we'll have an excellent
division.
"Every game is going to tight. You
can't afford to make mistakes if you
Patriots resign Jensen, Radmanovich
BKTDGEWATER — Starting
pitcher Justin Jensen and outfielder
Ryan Radmanovich,
who played major roles in the
Somerset Patriots' 2003
Atlantic League of
Professional Baseball championship
run, have again signed
to play with the Bridgewater
club after uneven seasons last
year.
Another pitcher Somerset is
bringing back this year is
righthander Shane Heams,
who worked mostly out of the
bullpen last season.
Jensen, who missed a good
portion of the 2004 campaign
after suffering a concussion
when hit in the head by a batting-practice
line drive, concluded
the year with a 3-6
record and a 7.63 earned run
average. The 31-year-old lefthander
pitched just 59 innings
in 13 starts, allowing 98 hits
and 23 walks.
The previous year Jensen
went 9-3 with a 2.88 ERA and
79 strikeouts in 19 games and
in 1999 he was the ALPB's
Pitcher of the Year, going 12-5
with a 2.76 ERA in 24 outings.
Jensen, who's had experience
in the Detroit Tigers, Boston
Red Sox and New York
Yankees organizations, has a
lifetime 3.79 minor league
ERA.
"We're looking for both
pitdiers to help solidify, our
staff," said Patriots
President/General Manager
Patrick McVerry. "Though
Justin had a rough 2004 season,
we know what he can do
when he's at 100 percent.
"We were all very happy
with the way Shane helped
carry our bullpen last season,"
he added.
Making 36 of his 40 mound
appearances in relief last
year, the 29-year-old Heams
went 6-2 with a 4.90 ERA,
allowing 72 hits and 46 walks
in 68 innings.
Heams, who's pitched three
seasons at the Triple-A level,

has a career 34-21 minor
league record with a 4.01 ERA
in 276 innings. He was on the
U.S. squad which earned a
gold medal during the 2000
Summer Olympic Games in
Sydney, Australia.
Radmanovich, 33, who
signed with the Pats last
week, finished the 2004 season
with a .244 batting average,
was second on the team
with 25 doubles and also belted
11 home runs and drove in
41 runs in 88 games. He
missed almost the entire
month of August when he
helped Team Canada take
fourth place in the Summer
Olympic Games in Athens,
Greece.
In 2003, the lefthanded
swinger hit .282 with a teamleading
21 homers and 65 RBI
in 87 games.
"We're very happy to welcome
Ryan back," said
McVerry. "Last season was a
great year for Ryan, who had
the privilege to represent his
country in the Olympics. We
know the type of player he is
and look for him to provide a
lot of power and consistency
to our lineup."
Radmanovich, who played in
25 major league games for the
Seattle Mariners, has six seasons
of Triple-A experience
with Seattle, the San Diego
Padres and Pittsburgh Pirates
and has a career .272 minor
league average in 1230 games.

want to be successful in this division.
In the past we've always had pitching
and great defense. We really have to
improve on the defensive end
because pitching is so dominant in
the conference."
Senz, who record every decision a
year ago, will have another new
catcher as junior Melissa Szeliga
take over behind the plate after starting
in leftfield a year ago.
Last year's first baseman/DH tandem
of juniors Jessica Miller and
Carlie Kazimir has been thrown
somewhat of a curve as Kazimir will
limited to DH duties due to a shoulder
injury after handling most of the
tune at first last year, while Miller
and sophomore Lauren Fry should
both get time at first.
Lacey Santone, a junior who start-
ed at second base for her first two
years, takes over at shortstop with
the second base assignment being
vied for by a pair of sophomores,
Stephanie Falzarano and Kelly
Dowries.
Falzarano is also a possibility at
third base, where sophomore Donna
Garcia is also in contention to start.
Senior Caitlin English is the lone
holdover in the outfield, and she will
again play right. Sophs Megan Boyle
and Dorothy Cameron will handle the
other two spots.
"I have a handful of girls that have
faced varsity pitcher, and I'm counting
on them to show the new players
the way," Panzarella said. "Some of
the younger kids don't get cheated on
their swings, and hopefully they'll
learn from the older kids."

Inside schoolteacher Nancy
Havran's third-grade classroom,
where she has made Iraq part of
the curriculum, Lt. Col. Vincent
A. Coglianese — commanding
officer with the 24th Marine
Expeditionary Unit and Mend
of the father of a former and current
student of Havran's — fielded
questions from the class,
shared a slideshow of photos
from his unit and spoke on a
number of topics including what
life is like for children in Iraq,
the realities of war, and how
important it is to have men and
women willing to fight for this
country.
And Maria seemed to get it.
"Be grateful," she said, about
the sacrifices made by U.S. servicemen
and women. "We are
the people of the future and
they're helping us."
Coglianese, 45, born in New
Brunswick and raised in Spring
Lake, first visited Havran's class
three years ago after of tour in
Afghanistan, and agreed to
come back after returning Feb.
17 from an eight-month tour in
Iraq where he operated inside
the Sunni Triangle, north of
Baghdad.
Havran said Coglianese provides
her students with an
opportunity to learn about how
things are for children in other
countries, like Iraq.

GEORGE PACCIELLO/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER
Marine Lt. Col. Vincent A. Coglianese talks to pupils in Nancy Harvan's third grade class at Van Holten School in Bridgewater. Coglianese
just returned from a tour of duty in Iraq and last visited the school three years ago after returning from Afghanistan.
our men and women are doing
(overseas)," she said. "These
kids are used to being safe and
things being fair. It's not like
that all over the world.
"We're (the United States) so
involved with everyone around
the world, the children need to
have an appreciation for what
goes on all over the world.... We
try to get them a little more
globally involved."
Entering the classroom,
Coglianese, who was greeted
with the words "Uncle Vinny is
here," broke the ice by asking
the children what grade they are
in.
"Third!" they replied in unison.
"The best three years of my life
were third grade," he said.
And when asked what all the
medals on his chest are for —
including a Bronze Star, the
Defense Meritorious Service
Medal with oak leaf cluster, die
Meritorious Service Medal with
gold star, the Joint
Commendation Medal, the Navy
Commendation Medal with gold
star, the Navy Achievement
Medal and the Military
Outstanding Service Medal —
he quipped, "Perfect attendance
in school."
The children, who had
researched Iraq on the Internet
before Coglianese's visit, then
rattled off questions for the
Marine, including what kind of
food did he eat while over there,
what kind of weapons did he use,
and why such a difference in life
expectancy between Iraqis and
North Americans, among others.
Q: "What do children (in Iraq)
do while the war is going on?"
"They go to school," he said
matter-of-factly, adding his unit,
with the help of paid local Iraqis,
fixed nine different schools.
"They were just brick buildings
with no windows, no plumbing,
no desks, no books," he said.
"Kids are kids. ... They love
soccer. They're just like you
guys," he said.
Q: "Do you think the children
liked you there?"
Coglianese said most Iraqi parents
he and his men encountered
were happy to have the
Marines there.
"Because the bad guys come
to town and they live there," he
said. "But the bad guys are
scared of us. The bad guys are
chickens."
He added: "When people grow
up, for whatever reason some
choose to be bad But the kids
mob you. The kids loved us."
Q: "How long will the war go
on?"
"As Americans we want everything
now" said Coglianese.
"But insurgencies take a long
time. ... It's gonna take a few
years." He said he believed the
Middle East would be worse off
if the United States pulled out
now.
Q: "Did you ever shoot someone?"
"Let's just say we all shot at
people, and leave it at that," he
responded. "War is a terrible,
terrible, terrible thing. I can
joke about it now, but I was
happy when my last Marine left
Iraq."
Q: "Were you ever bombed?"
"Yeah, we got bombed a lot,"
he said. "We got mortared many
times. But then we got aggressive
... and we stopped that."
Q: "Did you ever have a friend
that ever got killed?"
The Marine responded quietly:
"Yeah, I did, I did, I sure did."
Coglianese said he lost one
man directly under his command
and 30 from the unit.

Q: "Is it hard to see so many
people die in front of your eyes?"
"TTiat was tough," he said.
Coglianese, who acknowledged
that there was a constant fear of
attack on his mind while in Iraq,
explained to the children that
the modern U.S. military has
always fought its wars on its enemies'
turf to avoid destruction
and civilian casualties here.
"Somebody has to do the job.
We do it so you don't have to," he
said. "I'd rather fight them over
there, not here."
Coglianese attended Havran's
class with his wife, Mary, and
their three sons. The family currently
lives in Camp Lejeune,
N.C.
The couple's 15-year-old son,
Anthony, conceded it was difficult
knowing his father was in
Iraq getting shot at everyday.
"But w 7 e're land of used to it.
Unless kryptonite is around,
he'll be fine," added 17-year-old
Freddy.
"You must have an awesome
mom," Havran said.
"Yeah, there's the real hero,"
Coglianese responded, smiling al
his wife.
This newspapei", along with
families who are now experiencing
what the Coglianeses went
through, is maintaining a carepackage
program to bring some
of the comforts of home to U.S.
