The Record from Hackensack, New Jersey • 80

0 20 THE SUNDAY RECORD, NOVEMBER 11, 1973 Beryefl County, New Jersey Former prisoners getting help Taking A TXalk Mike Datelli Getting high school diploma is no easy job a er-counselors, aftemnting to By ROBERT FELDBERG JO The total education project is concerned with aiding inmates in the state's institutions and helping them adjust after they come out It is entering the second year of a two-year program with the sponsorship of the United States Office of Education Teacher Corps, New Jersey Department of Education Urban Education Corps, Mont-clair State College School of Education and Community Services, and the New Jersey Division of Correction and Parole. Even with that formidable backing, participants in the project are careful in assessing its potential in the state's prison system. In a recent interview at project headquarters in Edison, Randolph and Linda Kasanoff, who is eval-' uating the program, said the nature of the prison- system imposes limits. "We're the crew on their ship," said Miss Kasanoff. She said in some institutions where there was no organized educational program the project was more able to introduce new ideas.

Elsewhere, project teachers became a part of the existing system under the prison's educational director. The project's approach is to have its people work as teach den, who had been an eighth grade dropout about Mont-clair State College and provided him with an application. He was accepted at the college, where he is now studying sociology. Randolph said one problem with the correctional system is that it is not geared to preparing inmates for the world outside. "Prisons are designed to hold people," he said.

"What is it going to do to security? is Court approval for bank branch The Record Trenton Bureau TRENTON A state appeals court has cleared the way for Washington Savings Bank of Hoboken to open a branch in Englewood. Northern Valley Savings and Loan Association of Englewood had challenged the statj Banking Department's decision. The association said it was improperly refused an opportunity for a hearing, but the Appellate Division of Superior Court disagreed. The court said there was enough evidence to support the award. Staff Writer Can a program be a success without reaching its goals? Dwight Randolph believes so.

Randolph, 32, a resident of Passaic, is a team leader in the New Jersey Teacher Corps Education Project. He has four teachers working at the Neighborhood House in Paterson, helping former prisoners and other members of the community- prepare for their high school equivalency examinations, among other things. "Last year, out of 25 adults, about 12 received diplomas," he said. "So, if you wanted to judge the program by statistics, you'd have to say it wasn't successful. But 80 per cent of them functioned at a fifth-grade or lower reading level; I think many of them came there more interested in learning to read than in getting a diploma." The task, he said, was to improve their reading, and to the extent the program helped them do this, it was valuable, despite its failure to reach the stated goal.

"What we have to do is meet the needs of the community," Randolph said. "I don't think you can go into a community and give people something that is not wanted or needed. Who are we to do that?" reach the whole person rather than just teaching reading and other basic skills. And, Randolph and Miss Kasanoff agreed, the most successful part of the program has been the establishment of one-to-one relationships between prisoners and teachers. Started at Yardville William Burden, 24, an n-tern in the reentry program, became involved with the project at the Yardville youth facility, where he was serving a term for a drug offense.

He said members of the project were better able to work with inmates since they were not seen as part of the prison establishment. "There's better rapport," he said. "I've seen the positive effect." He said the Teachers Corps project motivates inmates and, perhaps as important, helps the motivation bear fruit. "Some people would like to go to college," he said, "but they don't know how to go about it; they don't know the procedures. In my case I think the motivation was there, but they provided the outlet for me." Project officials told Bur All Democrats weren't smiling ONE THTNG Anthony J.

Grossi, Passaic County Democratic leader, hasn't got is a poker face. This was never more apparent than shortly after 8 p.m. Tuesday. The first voting returns were trickling in. Democrats jumped to a comforting lead.

There was rejoicing all around the little political giant, who was holding a telephone in the center of the dais in the Grand Ballroom at the Alexander Hamilton Hotel. Tony Grossi, affectionaly called T.G. by his subjects, wasn't smiling. The returns from Paterson districts kept coming in by courier and by telephone. Democrats kept getting the majority votes.

But no glow from Grossi. Why? "It doesn't look good for Joe," he said. Joe was sitting several places to T.G. 's right. On the ballot he was listed as state Sen.

Joseph A. Lazzara. His was the toughest battle of the day. Lazaara's challenger was Frank Davenport, Passaic County sheriff and GOP leader Davenport had never lost an election. For a long time the Paterson returns kept Lazzara in front.

To the party faithful, this was a good sign. The prospect of toppling Davenport for the first time fed their hopes. But T.G. still wasn't smiling. It was obvious the election was not 100 per cent to his liking.

Leaning forward, he whispered to an observer, "Joe's majorities are not big enough to carry him through. He needs more votes In Paterson to overcome the expected port vote in the suburban communities (Hawthorne, North Haledon, and Prospect Park)." Democrats kept congratulating each other including Lazzara. Another Democratic heavyweight, former Paterson Mayor Mike De Vita, made his way to the dais. He Btretched toward Grossi, and T.G. leaned across the table.

Words were exchanged. The person closest to them turned to his right and 6aid, "Mike said Lazzara is in trouble." Victorious Democrats moved to the head table to take places behind T.G. The Paterson vote was in Lazzara out-polled Davenport, 12,571 to 9.762 not enough to off-set the Sheriff's suburban margin. Grossi accepted congratulations with barely a smile. He glanced toward a gloom-enveloped Lazzara.

Shaking his head, Grossi said, "It is too bad that Joe could not They (the candidates) could all be enjoying the party victory." To an observer watching T.G., it did not the first question asked about a new program." Randolph speaks from experience. He began college under a special program while serving a term for robbery at the Oregon State Penitentiary. He went on to receive a Bachelor's degree from the University of Oregon and is studying for a master's degree in student personnel services at Montclair State. He later hopes to return to Oregon to complete work for a master's degree in urban planning. Ranlolph said the usual emphasis in prison education on the three R's is often inadequate for the prisoner when he gets out.

"He has to have job skills, educational skills," Randolph said. Prison work, he said is usually on such a basic level that it too offers little training for the outside world. In addition, the routine of prison life work, moving in and out of cells during the day make teaching more difficult. Motivation was another factor, said Randolph, prisoners who are able to earn some money by working often choose to do that rather than spend time on education. Despite the problems, Randolph and Miss Kasanoff agree that the project is benefiting the inmates.

"Having a program Is better than not having a program," Miss Kasanoff said, "and having a good program is better than just having a program." she added that she hoped the project would receive federal funding for an additional two years. The program is in operation at Rahway and Trenton state prisons; Clinton Institution for Women; Yardville, Borden-town, and Annandale Youth. Facilities; and Essex County correctional facilities. The project includes 36 intern-teachers, many of them studying for advanced degrees in education, and six team come as a shock that not all county Democrats were victorious. And when you considered the match-ups.

you had to believe the most likely victim would be the one who faced Davenport. TIME MARCHES ON in the old city of Paterson. Architects were named last week for the new YM-YWHA to be built in Wavne. This will take the place of the YM-YWHA building on Van Houten Street in downtown Paterson. Also leaving the city's center is Paterson Rotary Club 70.

After 48 years at the Alexander Hamilton Hotel, the Rotarians are going to the Elks Club on McClean Boulevard on the outskirts of town. Well, at least, they're still in the city. HAWTHORNE REPUBLICANS were relieved by the report that the GOP (from Sandman to the freeholders) carried the borough. Early returns on Tuesday had Brendan T. Byrne taking the town in an upset.

Mayor Louis Bay II wasn't among those who believed the Byrne victory tale. "I'll wait for the official tally." he said at county GOP headquarters in Paterson. ONE REPUBLICAN who derived some pride from the Democratic freeholders sweep was former state Sen. Frank J. Sciro.

Before you jump to any conclusion, let me explain that it really was a father's pride in the accomplishment of his son. Frank his dad's law partner, doesn't share the senator's political philosophy and registered as a Democrat. Young Frank's first experience in politics was as campaign manager for the re-election of Freeholder Edward G. O'Byrne. O'Byrne led the ticket and he and Grossi paid Sciro Jr.

high tribute. The senator popped a button or two off the old vest when told of his son's accomplishment. THE PATERSON Chapter of National Secretaries Association will mark its Silver Anniversary Dec. 4 at the Brownstone House. With a committee of Betty Gilligan, Lillian Snyder, and Sue Dykstra (backed by 10 charter members), the affair has to be a success.

Recount doesn't change rt's 93-vote win Lone Republican to win at polls in Passaic Davenpo on the tradition through another generation. It is unlikely that Lazzara would consent to Robert Davenport's interim appointment after the sheriff's campaign statement that he wanted to be senator so his son could succeed him. "The sheriff stands a better chance with Hirkala and himself agreeing on a successor than he does now with Lazzara and Bate," a Democratic leader said. The interim sheriff will serve until the next general election in November 1974. Robert Davenport, 35, is chief clerk in the sheriff's office.

Senator-elect Davenport has been acclaimed by Republicans throughout the state for. his win on Tuesday. He was the lone Republican to withstand the Democratic sweep in DAVENPORT Passaic County and will be one of only 10 GOP members in the 40-man Senate. Davenport beat the Democrats as well as a strong faction in his own party. MIKE BATELLI Charter winners a varied group Sheriff Frank Davenport defeated Passaic County incumbent Democrat state Sen.

Joseph A. Lazzara by a 93-vote (margin. A recount of Tuesday's vote made Friday at Lazzara's request did not change the unofficial tally. The Senate contest in District 35 (Paterson, Hawthorne, North Haledon, and Prospect Park) saw Davenport, the county Republican chairman, receive 16,919 votes to Lazzara's 16,826. It was Davenport's sixth consecutive political win.

He is expected to resign as sheriff after taking his seat in the Senate on Jan. 8. The sheriff's post will be filled by the Governor Brendan T. Byrne) with the consent of the county senators, Joseph Hirkalan District 34, and Davenport. Should Davenport resign before Jan.

1, Gov. William T. Cahill will make the appointment with, make the appointment with the consent of present Senators Hirkala, Lazzara, and William J. Bate. County politicians said Friday night this would foreclose the possibility of Robert Davenport's being named to succeed his father.

Davenport's late father, Frank Davenport, served many terms as sheriff in the 1920s. The speculation is that the sheriff would like to carry when you buy one fire at regular price. R. Russo of Passaic, Michael U. De Vita, former Paterson mayor, Nancy C.
