0 vt Room to Roam Lincoln Writes 18 The Herold-News, Monday, July 10, 1967 Summer School Boon To Rutherford Pupils Park Poet of Suburbia By REUBEN ROSENFELDER Herald-Nows Staff Writer RUTHERFORD A summer enrichment program has become part of the educational scene in this community, and it is certain to grow. Enrichment courses are not the kind slow students must sit through during vacation time to make up credits. It is a benefit material to his favorite singers. Tony Bennett and Eld Ames now have a Tew of his songs under consideration. On the subject of rock 'n' roll music, Makl says some is good, sotne is terrible, some is very The mqre dynamic groups are moving toward sub jects songwriters wouldnt touch years ago.

Some of these young people have so much tal ent, it scares me, he said. Although he keeps an eye on the modern scene, Makls favorite poets are Masefield, Browning and Kilmer. He finds some of the newer writers a little less than coherent. They must feel the less sense they make, the better. One line doesnt seem to follow another; besides, theres nothing wrong with a poem rhyming.

But then, thats their way of expressing themselves and thats what poetry is: an expression of your Makl has many ideas in mind for further development. He is presently considering branching out into the short story field, or possibly a novel. He feels, though, that writing cant be forced; you need something to set you off. A native of Garfield. Makl lived in Totowa before moving to Lincoln Park seven years ago.

Like many writers, he has had a varied background, working as a metallurgical technician, an electronic calibrator, a junior accountant and postal clerk. Before becoming ill, Makl participated in basketball and baseball in the area and spent considerable time painting and sketching. Words and music, paintings and books, throughts and ideas fill his time now. I run the gamut in my poem, he said. And it might be added, in his interests, too.

By WINIFRED ADAMS Herald-News Staff Writer LINCOLN PARK Suburbia to one poets way of thinking, is on the why to becoming a me tropolis itself. Robert Makl of 35 Hope has developed this thought in his recent poem, Metonymical Metropolis. Describing the city as a sometime place he feels we still need room to roam. Watching the fast-changng world and expressing his ideas in poetic form have become his way of getting around. Makl, Who has been an invalid for the past four years, says, I dont do much roaming right now, but Ive never liked to be closed in.

Calling on his memories of the New Jersey shore, Makl composed Sea of Contrasts describing the sea in its many changing forms. When the New Jersey Highway Authority was seeking exhibits for its new Art Center in 1964, he submitted the poem which has since been displayed at the authoritys offices. Writes Songs, Too In addition to his poems, Makl has composed the words and music to numerous songs. Affiliated with Broadcast Music he has had some of his songs published and regularly submits Couple Sights Sky Objects WEST PATERSON Mrs. Joyce Gilberti and her husband, Lawrence, Saturday night reported to police they had sighted two strange and brilliant objects in the sky near their home at 32 Mount Pleasant Ave.

Police Lieutenant Sam France who took the call at headquart-ers'on McBride Avenue ran out and took a look. All he saw were star and the sky. He dispatched Patrolman Sanv Theodora to Mount Pleasant Avenue. He looked up and saw nothing liSe what. Mr.

and Mrs. Gilberti said they saw, although several piinutes did pass during the time the telephone call was made, as well as the time required for his arrival at the scene. POET AT WORK Robert Maid, 35 Hope Lincoln Park pauses for a few moments between lines, perhaps searching for just the right word to use in his latest poem. (Herald-News Photo) Mother, Child Injured In Lyndhurst Accident Four Crashes in town on Weekend; Delaware Driver Hits Brick Wall LYNDHURST A mother and child gjid a man were injured in two of four weekend traffic accidents here. Katherine Mrs.

Katherine Brown, 248 driving collided with one Were offering what the local people want. Naturally, the enrichment program is the sort of thing which is undertaken by better, more progressive school systems. Fair Lawn has one, and so does Teaneck. Since the program has no specific make-up goals, it leaves room for any subject which has educational merit and for which there is demand. Offerings Listed Rutherford this season offers courses in fine arts, drama and speech (taught by Paul Buhtan ic), computer training (Joseph Loffredo), IBM keypunch (also Loffredo), advanced chemistry (Harold Lazar), and typing.

The chemistry subject, for example, is equivalent to a college course, according to Everitt. It would give a high school student an edge in chemistry, if he plans to major in the subject. To be eligible, a student must have a minimum grade of li in school. In the computer course, a $9,000 computer trainer, leased by the school system, is being used. The skill of data processing, much in demand now, is being acquired in this course.

To be accepted in it, says Everitt, the student must have a good knowledge of math. Shows Drop As for skills, Everitt tells of an interesting fact. Since the institution of vocational educational programs in the high school two years ago, the number of Rutherford students in relation to out-of-towners in the summer make-up subjects has dropped considerably. He explained that the direction of non-college-bound students towaVd programs emphasizing vocations instead of academics has enabled them to complete more successfully the requirements and eliminated the need for make-up. Communities which did not undertake such programs, showed no similar summer decrease.

Rutherford High School has vocational programs in industry and the Wades, office vocations, and sales and distribution. Enrichment on the other hand, is voluntary. Those who want it, register for it. Since the make-up pressure is eliminated, the shod tan afford to give participants some extra time off. This year, the program started a week after the regular summer school.

It will continue Aug. 4. This is the area with the rea future, Everitt said on the ben rit program. Its the one we 17 program for youths who want to use the summer weeks for something they wouldnt get in the regular school program. One hundred and seventy students are enrolled this summer in the Rutherford Summer Institute, the enrichment program started four years ago as part of the school systems summer school.

The main summer program is academic a variety of make-up courses, which this year are being taken by 725. Since Rutherford has the only summer school in a- number of neighboring communities, the academic section takes in a good number of out-of-town students. This has proved to be a financial benefit, because out-of-towners pay $32 for each subject. Rutherford residents pay $11. The enrichment subjects, open only to local residents, cost $10 each.

There is no denying that the out-of-town money helps make the overall summer school a financially self-sustaining project, requiring no subsidy from the sponsoring Board of Education. And thats a good thing, because it puts the whole program beyond the reach of ths traditional I-am-a-taxpayer protestations. Everitt Heads Program The concept of summer enrichment sponsored by school districts has been on the grow, says Donald M. Everitt, principal of Rutherford Junior Ilgh School, who has been at the helm of the summer school for the past three years. You find more kids wanting to do something with their time, he said.

The fact is that after two weeks of vacation theyre ready to come back. These courses offer something they wouldnt normally get during the year, he added. The Rutherford program will be expanded gradually. This year, two enrichment subjects have been added, one in ceramics, taught by Mrs. Steve Munno, whose husband teaches the fine arts course in the same program, and the other in woodworking, instructed by Samson Ferraro.

New Course The woodworking course, for students in Grades 5 through 8, has been added after consultations between Everitt and the St. Marys School PTA, which expressed itis interest, because of the lack of woodwork facilities in the parochial school.

TRENTON The State Department of Transportation wi begin accepting bids July 27 on the first of four contracts proposed for the general improvement of about 3.8 miles of Route between Routes 3 and 46. The program, calling for widening, installation of barrier curbs and improvements in intersections, has been allocated $7,251,492.

The road phase of the project will be financed in equal amounts by the state and federal governments, and is scheduled for completion Dec. 1, 1968. The first project extends near nine-tenths of a mile from Berry Avenue, Carlstadt, to a point in Wood-Ridge just south of the Hasbrouck Heights border. A portion of the project also extends into the Borough of Moonachie. The contract also calls for the construction of a new rail station, in Wood-Ridge.

Moonachie Avenue is to be elevated to pass over Route 17 and this will require removal of the existing New Jersey and New York Railroad station. This part of the project will be built entirely with state funds The widening on Route 17 will include the expansion of the highway to three 12-foot riding lanes and a 12-foot shoulder in each direction. The roadway, to be built of bituminous concrete pavement, will also have 32-inch high concrete barrier to divide opposing traffic. Moonachie Avenue will be re located slightly to the 'north before being bridged over Route 17 and will have connecting ramps to the highway and local streets. A portion of Berger Street will be relocated and Anderson Avenue will end in a cul-de-sac west of Route 17 To keep traffic interference to a minimum the department has proposed a three-stage construction sequence.
