Money is tight. The immediate financial future is grey - at best. If you're considering getting through the holiday relying more on your credit cards, think again. Credit scores are even more important in this tight economy.
The weather outside isn't frightful yet but it sure is cold, which means that winter is well on its way! After spending some time inside enjoying football, feasts and festivities over the Thanksgiving holiday, get out on Sunday, November 30, and experience the 55th Annual Winter Festival Parade, sponsored by the Metuchen Chamber of Commerce. Starting at Brunswick Avenue and Main Street, it ends with a visit to the Senior Center for cocoa and a one-on-one with the parade's Grand Marshall, the world-renowned fashion plate and all-around holiday spokesperson, Santa Claus! The theme of this year's fun-filled parade is "A Hometown Holiday". The parade kicks off at 2:00 pm, weather permitting

After announcing on Monday that, due to a lack of funds, it would have to stop serving lunch on Tuesdays, Elijah's Promise soup kitchen received over $7,000 worth of donations in one day. As a result, they will be able reinstate lunch on Tuesdays and continue their important work of helping out those in need. Thank you to all that made this possible.
Metuchen has existed as a town since 1689 and many Thanksgivings have been celebrated here by many different groups of people. As part of this long-standing traditional American holiday, here's a little background on the day itself and the fascinating facts behind it.
Did you know that the first Thanksgiving was celebrated well before the Pilgrims ever set foot on Plymouth Rock? Did you know that, during the Depression, President Roosevelt changed the date on which it was celebrated in order to facilitate a longer Christmas shopping period? Read on for some more facts about the real origins of this popular holiday.
Thanksgiving is a great time to gather with family and friends, toast some Pilgrims (with wine, silly!) and eat a lot. However, if all this togetherness becomes too much to take, there are diversions aplenty throughout the Tri-State area. These activities, some traditional, some brand new, will provide lots of fun for all ages and give you a chance to burn off Aunt Milly's pumpkin pie.

New Brunswick soup kitchen Elijah's Promise was forced to stop their Tuesday lunch service, a result of increased meal requests and declining donations.
The organization experienced a 21 percent increase in meals served between September and October, but lacks the funding to keep up with increased demands, said Lisanne Finston, executive director of Elijah's Promise. "In short we are facing a crisis like we have never experienced before," Finston said in a statement. "Meals are up 21 percent, and donations are dramatically down as our longtime donors are also struggling. A few weeks ago, over 80 children showed up for dinner at our family feeding program."
Thanksgiving is Thursday. Dozens of local families will be hungry this afternoon; Tuesday lunch has now become a luxury. Perhaps you're involved with a civic group looking for a holiday service project. Visit www.elijahspromise.net for more information or to donate.

New Jersey Public Television (NJN) has begun filming the bi-weekly protests that the Edison Wetlands Association is holding at the Raritan River Basin for a documentary about their continued efforts to make corporate polluters responsible for their environmental foibles. David Wheeler, Director of Operations for EWA, told us that "we will be holding our second rally tomorrow (Tuesday, November 25) at noon, at the intersection of Meadow Road and Midvale Road" in Edison. He encourages all interested citizens to attend.

It's been three long years of loud banging and no auditorium and sawdust everywhere, but Metuchen High School finally has a new lease on life. With serious renovations (you could go so far as to say overhaul), the school looks and feels like it's brand new. For those of you who don't have reason to step inside and take a look, the local press has some very positive things to say about it all. This week the Star-Ledger ran a glowing review of all things Metuchen High School. Congratulations!

This week the Borough Council adopted a second ordinance facilitating development of a new athletic facility in town. Metuchen resident Jeff Josell plans to develop an indoor sports complex near Prospect and High Streets and got the go-ahead from Council on Monday night. Slightly modified from the first proposal, changes now exclude sports that have been deemed dangerous such as archery and firing ranges, as well as facilities for ice skating or skate boarding.

Tree huggers, meet the fiscal pragmatics: Metuchen is potentially losing up to $203,000 annually because we don't seem to be recycling enough - especially our mixed paper.
And that's assuming a 50%-at-best recycling rate.
According to information presented by Patricia Donahue of the Environmental Commission at this week's council meeting, Metuchen's recycling rate has dropped from a 1997 high of 54% to a low of the 31% that we're on target to reach in 2008. In the same period, garbage collection has increased by 89 tons.

At Monday night's meeting, the Metuchen Borough Council unanimously agreed to support the Dismal Swamp Preservation Act, a two-part plan by former Metuchen Mayor John Wiley and Assemblyman Peter Barnes III. The act will create an interlocal service agreement between the towns that the swamp runs through--Metuchen, Edison and South Plainfield--as well as legislate authority on a state level to maintain conservation efforts of this last significant natural area in northern Middlesex County.
FROM THE STAR-LEDGER: "A 60-inch water main break today in Franklin Township has had a ripple effect on 100,000 customers in Somerset, Middlesex and Union counties as well as Rutgers University, prompting officials to close schools and telling residents to boil water.
Complaints ranged from low water pressure to no water at all 18 towns, said Richard Barnes, a spokesman for New Jersey American Water. As a precaution, the utility issued a boil water advisory for the following towns:
Bound Brook, Bridgewater, Green Brook, Hillsborough, Millstone, Montgomery, Raritan, Somerville and South Bound Brook in Somerset County; Dunellen, Edison, Middlesex, Piscataway and South Plainfield in Middlesex County and Clark, Linden, Plainfield and Roselle in Union County."

Middlesex County College officials announced plans today for an honors program to make students more competitive when transferring to four-year colleges and universities.
The program will officially launch next semester with three courses. Students with either a 1,200 on the Scholastic Assessment Test or a 3.5 grade point average can take advantage of this program, which strives to offer greater opportunity for more innovative teaching.
The Environmental Commission has arranged for the NJ Office of Clean Energy to present information on its Local Government Energy Audit program to the Borough Council for consideration tonight.
Under the direction of council member Will Waldron and with Council approval, the Borough hopes to take advantage of this state program, which helps municipalities effectively manage energy use by subsidizing the cost of an energy audit. With cost-justified energy efficiency measures identified and implemented, further savings are realized, the Borough does its part in contributing to energy independence, and the community-at-large benefits from the lessons learned.
Every Monday we will ask a Question of the Week. Post your comments and let Metuchen know what you think.
From the Star-Ledger this week:
"Dressed in a waterproof jumpsuit, protective boots and gloves, the head of the Edison Wetlands Association lead a rally outside Basell USA Inc. in Edison (Wednesday) demanding action to finally stop the toxic waste that environmentalists said has been seeping from the plant into the Raritan River for decades."
The area is used for fishing, boating and other maritime activities, including swimming, and the NY and NJ Baykeepers insist that the chemicals found by the EPA in this water are highly carcinogenic and endangering the human and animal population in the area.
The Metuchen Fund/Families for Families Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser on Friday, November 14th, raised thousands of dollars to be distributed between three local families in need. With all food deliciously donated by Joe DeVizio's D'Italia restaurant ( Saint Georges Avenue, Avenel), three packed seatings gave community members an opportunity to have a night out and help out at the same time. Held at the Metuchen First Aid Squad, most services were donated by area businesses. READS of Metuchen helped create the Metuchen Fund to handle all financial donations.

November 2008 has been designated Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month in the Borough of Metuchen.
Initiated by Councilman Pete Cammarano and unanimously accepted at the November 3rd council meeting, the Resolution aims to call attention to this random killer with hope that residents will become enlightened about its symptoms and risk factors.

REFLECTIVE VEST CAMPAIGN
"And all the cupboards were bare..." Sure, we all wish the current economic plunge were but a fairy tale. It's very much reality for many trying to make ends meet. 30% more New Jerseyans are looking to donation services for basic needs now than at this time last year.
The Community FoodBank of New Jersey, the state's largest food bank, is running low on food in general--and may even begin rationing handouts if donations don't pick up before the end of the year.
Veterans Day isn't a day of parades or school closures in Metuchen any longer and that's kind of sad. I wish we still paid public tribute to those who have served in our military.
My dad is a Marine Corps Veteran. He and my mom spent yesterday as two of 2,500 invited guests at the Intrepid, where President Bush was the special guest and keynote speaker. More than likely his last New York visit as President; my folks were honored to be in attendance.

The Metuchen Board of Education meeting this evening (8 PM, Metuchen High School cafeteria) will be a very well-attended event. It will highlight the findings from recent talks between the Metuchen CQE (Citizens for Quality Education) and Superintendent Terri Sinatra, Director of Curriculum Paul Piniero, Board President Terry Kohl and Board Vice-President Eileen Frowenfeld. Topics up for discussion include creating higher GPAs by encouraging greater enrollment in AP classes and helping children in all grades score higher than "proficient" on standardized tests. CQE representatives sent a notice out several weeks ago asking the community to attend the meeting to support these concerns.
Every two years, New Jersey Monthly publishes a ranking of all NJ public high schools. In 2008, Metuchen was ranked at #86 of 316 schools - down from #56 two years earlier. We will attempt to explain the methodology behind the determination and, in the weeks ahead, determine what it means to Metuchen - the students, the parents, and perhaps our property value.
Factors considered by NJ Monthly are:
1. average class size
2. student to faculty ratio
3. % of faculty with advanced degrees
4. average SAT score
5. students achieving advanced proficiency on HSPA
6. number of AP Tests Offered
7. % scoring 3 or higher on AP tests
8. % graduating to 4 year colleges
9. % graduating to 2 year colleges
10. District Factor Group (DFG: a socioeconomic ranking)
Highland Park, a school system of our approximate size but classified into a lower DFG or socioeconomic ranking, was ranked #33 and beats us in categories 2,3,4,5,6,7,and 9 (from above). JP Stevens was ranked #50. Both schools beat Metuchen's average SAT score by more than 100 points. What conditions are affecting Metuchen's results? Does the ranking overlook key factors? Look at the data for all 316 schools.

"NJ Transit is offering free rides aboard its bus, commuter train and light rail routes to anyone wearing a U.S. military uniform, presenting a military ID card or possessing a veterans' organization membership card" tomorrow, Tuesday, November 11, 2008.
Every Monday we will ask a Question of the Week. Post your comments and let Metuchen know what you think.
This week's question:
What type of business would you like to see occupy one of the empty storefronts downtown?
What will an Obama presidency mean to NJ students and teachers? This week in Atlantic City at the NJEA convention, teachers shared their thoughts on how our new president might inspire students, repair No Child Left Behind, implement merit pay -- and what all of that might possibly do to enhance or impede the teaching profession and school performance in NJ.
From This just in from the Middlesex County Board of Elections...
There were 70 official provisional ballots which break down like this:
47 OK, to be counted
22 not registered, will not be counted
1 Voided, voter used machine after ID verification
In Metuchen, only 25 votes separate the second and third-place candidates, Republican Justin Manley and incumbent Democrat Tim Dacey. Councilman Peter Cammarano, a Democrat, was the top vote-getter with 4,161 votes. There were 70 provisional ballots cast in the borough, according to James Vokral, administrator of the county board of elections, which is responsible for counting the provisional ballots.
Provisional ballots are used when there is a question over whether a voter is registered when he or she goes to the polls. Vokral said that it may take his staff a week to research the eligibility of all 6,474 voters who used provisional ballots last Tuesday.
The election board staff is focusing on Sayreville, Milltown, and Metuchen, however, because the races are so close and recounts may be requested.
Last month, Terri Sinatra, Superintendant of Schools, called together the executive boards of the each school's PTOs and requested their input on the upcoming NJ QSAC (Quality Single Accountability Continuum). The QSAC requires that public school districts throughout the state be evaluated every seven years in order to determine how efficiently they are running. If a district scores below 80% on a 5-category scale, the state can take over the schools, disband the district or incorporate that system into a larger system that is operating at a more efficient level. Metuchen is being evaluated for 2009. Mrs. Sinatra expects our district to be prepared properly for it and is soliciting help because the Board of Education is making it a priority this year.
Once a week, Metuchen Matters is going to open the doors and let the readers have their say. This is the place to let everyone know what's on your mind. You can sign up for an account or post anonymously if you wish. So go ahead, sound off.
Look for lane closures, road closures, and redirected traffic patterns on Route 27 at the bridge between Wakefield Drive and Homestead Road. The bridge carries Route 27 over the CSX Port Reading Secondary Branch rail line.
Gov. Jon Corzine, a multimillionaire and former Wall Street chief executive, is being actively vetted by the Obama transition team as a possible candidate for Treasury secretary in the new administration, two New Jersey Democrats familiar with the process said early this morning.
As part of the vetting process, the transition team is reviewing Corzine's financial and personal documents, the sources said. The sources asked not to be identified because the vetting process is confidential.
Neither Corzine nor his aides would respond to a request for comment.
Cammarano: 4157 (288 absentee)
Dacey: 3614 (278 absentee)
Manley: 3639 (215 absentee)
There are 9,089 registered voters in Metuchen. Approximately 6,687 voted.
With all thirteen districts counted Pete Cammarano can be declared victorious. While Justin Manley is ahead of Tim Dacey by 88 votes, uncounted absentee* and provisional ballots leave question as to who else will occupy the vacating council seat. On MeTV last night, Mayor Vahalla stated it could take until early next week to confirm all the provisional votes. So this won't be over for a few more days. At this point tonight, here are the totals:
Cammarano: 3869
Dacey: 3336
Manley: 3424
* Unofficially, we have Justin's lead at 25 after the counting of absentee ballots with 71 provisional votes that have yet to be resolved. We were told that, in a normal year, about a third of the provisional votes do not meet the requirements and are not counted. It looks good for Manley as Dacey would have to get around 75% of the provisional votes to declare victory. It is still too close to call though.
According to NJ.com: "Barack Obama handily won the vote in New Jersey this evening, as did incumbent Democratic Sen. Frank Lautenberg, both by sizable margins.
Based on exit polling data, the Democrats took some 60 percent of the vote. The Associated Press projected both men winners as the polls closed at 8 p.m.
The exit polls by the National Election Pool, conducted by Edison/Mitofsky, showed the economy was the biggest factor on voters' minds, and most of them voted for Obama.
Disapproval of the way George W. Bush is handling his job as president was also a major issue among voters, and that disapproval also translated into Democratic votes."
After waiting in long lines, being forced to use paper ballots and spending the last few months listening to the endless reveries of well-meaning candidates, New Jersey voters finally have their chance, their say. Let's check out what's happening right now . . .
According to an article published by the Associated Press:
Voters in New Jersey have registered in record numbers this year, and they're also expected to go to the polls in record numbers.
More than 600,000 new voters have registered since the beginning of the year - enough to push the total to nearly 5.4 million.
That's about 300,000 more than were registered four years ago.
According to the NJ Secretary of State, the new voters have registered:
134,158 - Democratic
41,950 - Republican
Remainder - undeclared
Between 8,000 and 10,000 of the New Jersey voters who registered just before the deadline had to use paper ballots instead of voting machines by 6 p.m. today because election officials could not keep up with the crush of new registrations.
Roger Larre, 105, will be the oldest New Jersey resident to vote in person Nov. 4.
The Hazlet citizen even increased his daily fitness regime to include some extra laps at Regency Park Nursing Center to make sure he was physically able to get to the polls today. Larre, once a prisoner of war during World War II, escaped to Cuba and, fifteen years later, managed to get out of Cuba to move to the United States. His granddaughter, Lourdes Musto, said that Mr. Larre values his right to vote and has never missed an opportunity since becoming a U.S. citizen when he was 80 years old.
Tomorrow is Election Day 2008 and Metuchen Matters will be on top of all the action, starting tomorrow afternoon as polls close and the future opens wide for some hard-working candidates.
