With some help from a source, WNBC-TV senior correspondent Ralph Penza found Chesimard while he was in the country covering the meeting between the Catholic leader and the dictator. The first half of the interview with Chesimard aired Thursday and will conclude tonight on the 11 o'clock broadcast Tonight Foerster's widow, Rosa Foerster, is expected to speak about the letter state police sent to the Pope, according to a WNBC press release. WNBC on Thursday released excerpts of Penza's interview with Rosa Foerster.

"My son lost his daddy, he grew up without a dad," she said. The couple's son, Eric, was only 3 years old when his father was killed. "He never saw his son go to school, the first soccer game and then he got married a year and half ago I think my son really missed to have a dad." Chesimard told Penza she is "sorry" Werner Foerster was killed, but said, "I did not kill him" In response, Rosa Foerster said: "She is sorry? I doubt she is sorry. No, I think they knew what they were doing that night My husband never had a chance to be a father to my son." OUt By BILL BOWMAN Staff Writer HILLSBOROUGH A proposed shopping center at Route 206 and Falcon Road was killed Thursday night by the Planning Board. The board voted unanimously to not recommend changes to the township's office zone that would have allowed the retail center on a 100-acre parcel known as the Somerville Sheep Farm.

The project's developer, Bill Krame, did not attend the meeting. The board's vote was greeted with applause by about 20 residents who showed up for the meeting. That was in contrast to last summer, when residents screamed at the board after it narrowly voted to recommend the Township Committee look at making changes to the zone. In a vote that was just as narrow, the committee sent the zoning change back to the Planning Board late last year. UNDER was said.

"We are moving to develop our town center," he said. "Does it make sense for us to put potential tenants in this development when we really want them in our town center? "As a person who pushed this along, am not in favor of this," Van Lier said.

Residents also voiced their opposition to the project. "If we encourage more malls to the south and north, we jeopardize the town center we want," said Valerie Chaucer-Levine of Garretson Lane. Mayor Brett Radi stressed the "need to plan" in his opposition to the development. "We only have one opportunity," he said. "Once the shovel is in the ground and construction begins, we have no opportunity to change it.

Let's plan first and build much later." Radi said the Krame development "would be a travesty." Rscu i squad delivers baby girl By SARAH GREENBLATT Staff Writer PISCATAWAY Delivering a-baby in a speeding ambulance is a seldom-experienced thrill, members of the North Stelton Fire and Rescue Unit learned this week. The volunteers delivered a girl Tuesday as the ambulance sped from Motel 6 on Stelton Road to St. Peter's Medical Center in New Brunswick, Capt. Maureen Swanson said. After responding to an emergency call at the motel, Swanson and her daughter, Karen Hennessy, deliv- -ered a 5-pound, 1-ounce girl to Kajawanna Brooks of Plainfield, who was visiting the motel.

"We don't get to deliver many ba- bies," Swanson said. "We can always make it there in 10 minutes." The unit came not a moment too soon, said Brooks' sister, Dorcas Brooks, who was frantically trying to get the expectant mother into a car when the ambulance came. "I was relieved when they arrived," Dorcas said, adding that her sister was not due to deliver the girl, her fourth child, until March 11. "I think I would have fainted." The expectant mother's water broke just as the ambulance sped off, and the baby's head appeared moments later, Swanson said. "It was extremely exciting," she said.

Brooks, who was discharged from the hospital Thursday, could not be reached for comment. After serving on the rescue unit for six years, Swanson said her first delivery came as a welcome relief from the illness and injury she usually finds in her work. "People wait 20 years to deliver a baby," Swanson said, adding that Tuesday morning's crew is the envy of the 17-member unit. Others assisting in the birth were emergency technician Valerie Stevens and firefighter Dave Reisberg, who drove the ambulance. Pappas planning 1-on-1 sessions Rep.

State police wrote to Pope John Paul before his January visit to Cuba.

In the letter, they asked him to intercede with Cuban President Fidel Castro to help return Chesimard to the United States.

She was taken into custody shortly after the shootout, and Squire was caught in East Brunswick 39 hours later.

Chesimard resurfaced in Cuba in the 1980s and is just one of at least 90 fugitives from countries throughout the world living there, officials estimate. Before Chesimard could ever be brought back to the United States, officials from the State Department would have to start working with Cuban authorities, said Carney.

Members who had in the past supported the development changed their minds and voted against the proposal. Peg Van Patton was one such member whose attitude changed during the months of deliberations. "My original support for this project has faded," she said. Board vice chairman Sam Van Nest opposed to the project from its inceptioa "This is a rush to a use," he "People say that because it's vacant, you have to use it I don't believe that" he said. "Because it's vacant, have to plan." "I believe the land can be developed the benefit of everyone in Hillsborough," Van Nest said.

"We should it by producing the plan here. Let control our own destiny." Board member Glenn Van Lier said a heavy retail use on that site might conflict with the township's dream of a town center once a Route bypass is completed.

Golkin said he would like taping to begin next week when the committee begins discussions on the township's budget "I feel it's important that we get this on air as soon as possible," Golkin said.

"Residents have a right to see what's happening with the township's budget" Televising meetings was not the only issue argued Thursday night Golkin expressed dissatisfaction with a letter of apology issued by Garafola regarding a memorandum she distributed in January. Golkin claims Garafola's memorandum, sent to various committee and board heads, falsely claimed Golkin was lobbying to obtain property across from Central School and rezone it to build a new post office. The letter of apology, which was shown to Golkin last night, did not list him as the person "falsely accused," Golkin said. "If this is not taken care of, I will go beyond the Township Committee to take action," Golkin said. Hillsboro to Environmental Protection, asking that the Mill Lane site be included in the Wastewater Management Plan.

A decision on that petition is not expected for months. In October, the committee rescinded the ordinance, which governed the type of development U.S. Home wanted to build. Further complicating the matter is a lawsuit filed by New Jersey Future challenging the affordable housing approval.

HINES Staff Writer WARREN Residents may soon be able to watch Township Committee meetings on a local cable television channel. In a 3-2 vote Thursday night, committee members asked Township Administrator Mark Krane to draft a policy to have all public and work sessions taped and televised on Channel 12.

The committee has proposed that meetings be aired within a week after taping. The Cable Advisory Committee, created in 1996 to do cable programming for the township, will be instructed to tape the meetings. Committee members Jeff Golkin, who introduced the motion, Carolann Garafola and Frank Salvato voted to air the meetings. Committeeman George Dealaman and Mayor Kenneth Brenn said they were not in favor of Continued from Page B-1 gation under the Mount Laurel II ruling. The plan quickly became controversial, with opponents claiming it was too intense a use for the site.

Opponents contend that most of the land falls in an area that is recommended be kept rural by the state redevelopment and development plan. In June 1997, the Township Committee refused to recommend the Mill Lane tract be included in the township's portion of the county Wastewater Management Plan. That decision spurred a lawsuit by the developer, which was later dropped. Prior to the committee's decision, U.S. Home filed an independent petition with the state Department of.
