Daily Record, Morris County, Employees of BASF brought their Christopher Mason, right, leads the Kids CONTINUED FROM A11 "We wanted to show them exactly what BASF does in way they could learn what their parents do in an interactive, fun way, and learn some said Denise Glover, coordinator of the event. Charlie Walters, a volunteer at the workshop and a training manager for BASF, said the activ- Smith CONTINUED FROM A11 Stanton had ordered Smith and Vito Gagliardi who represents Mine Hill, to file briefs on the petition's legal status, saying its existence put a hold on the contract. In his brief, Smith said that if the township objects to the petition, it can seek injunctive relief. "The proper parties would then be before the court," Smith wrote. "Until that occurs the court should not render a decision on the matter.

The court did not inject itself into the merits of the referendum question and should resist the temptation to do so now." In his defense of the petition, N.J., Friday, April 26, 2002 COUNTY kids to work on Thursday. Part of the day's activities included watching ity also reinforced the importance of absorbing knowledge in school. "It's important they know when they go out into the world they need to bring skills to the job," Walters said. The lesson worked as children ages 8 to 13 delighted in the process, some in spite of some minor glitches. Alex Steinhilb, 9, of Randolph, packaged the treats.

That group used problem-solving skills to figure out what to do when the tape Smith argued that the ordinance to disband the Mine Hill police department was an integral part of the Mine Hill-Wharton police contract. Mine Hill, he said, came to the "incredible conclusion" that disbanding the department is incidental to the contract. "There is no reasonably conceivable way the elimination of the Mine Hill department by ordinance can stand separate and apart from the interlocal agreement," he said. In a brief filed earlier, Gagliardi argued for the township that the contract with Wharton was approved by resolution in accordance with the state Interlocal Services Act. Gagliardi said the the Legislature changed the act in 1995 to make it easier to share services, and said such agreements could would not stick and there was insufficient wrapping paper.

"Even if you work hard at it, you could get the best or the worst," he said about the finished product. Dana Work, 13, also of Randolph, said she had no idea how many stages raw materials have to go through to before getting the product into the hands of a consumer. "I didn't know how many processes it had to go through and how many people i it takes to. be approved by resolutions, which do not require public hearings, instead of ordinances, which do. Because the agreement was reached by resolution, a separate ordinance abolishing the Mine Hill Police department is an "inconsequential, incidental" aspect of the agreement, he said.

The heart of Gagliardi's argument is that the Mine HillWharton contract is in line with the Legislature's specific intent to promote shared services and save taxpayers money. But Smith argued that the ordinance dissolving the police department is a discretionary act involving broad policy decisions that can have a permanent effect, and thus is subject to a referendum.
