NJ Transit agrees to preserve Lake Matawan, other trestlesBY UNDA DeNICOLA ____ ____S t a f f W r i t e r

A nonprofit group that has been promoting a recre­ational path along an inac­

tive rail line between Matawan and Freehold has received news that six wooden trestles along the rail­road right of way will not be demolished.

Also, NJ Transit, which owns the right of way, and the Monmouth County freeholders are working on an agreement to let the county turn the 12-mile right of way into a trail which would link up with the 9-mile county-owned Henry Hudson Trail, located north

of Route 36.One of the trestles traverses the

upper end of Lake Matawan. Young people use the 425-foot- long, 50-foot-high trestle to cross from Matawan-Aberdeen Regional High School to Matawan Borough.

According to J. Wandres, presi­dent of the Marlboro-based Monmouth Heritage Trail Inc. (MHT), Stanley Rosenblum, acting executive director of NJ Transit, has directed his staff not to demol­ish the trestles along the 12-mile rail line.

The group learned in January that the agency planned to tear down the wooden structures, pur­portedly to alleviate the threat of

liability if anyone fell off one of the structures, and went to work immediately to try to halt the plans.

As it turned out they were suc­cessful.

In a letter to Rosenblum, the Monmouth County freeholders urged the agency to begin the process of discussing how the abandoned railroad right of way could be conveyed to the county for future public pedestrian and bicycle trail use.

“We are in the process of work­ing out an agreement now,” NJ Transit spokesman Ken Miller said

Concerns about flooding, steep slopes dominate 7-hr. hearingBY AMY SOKOLOFF________C o r r e s p o n d e n t

Environmental issues have prompted the latest delay in the develop­ment of a large senior citizens

housing complex on Route 36 near the Atlantic Highlands border known as Navesink Highlands.

The project, part of the Middletown’s affordable hous­ing plan known originally as the Vaccaro proposal, has been surrounded by controversy for the past 10 years. It is strongly opposed by Atlantic Highlands, as well as the Lenape Woods Coalition, an alliance of 12 neighborhood associations in Middletown and Atlantic Highlands.

The property was acquired about a year ago by Home

Properties Inc., Rochester.Following a special seven-

hour hearing last week, the Planning Board decided that the developer, Ocino Inc., Brooklyn, N.Y., must supply further information and it post­poned the hearing indefinitely, probably until May at the earli­est, according to the board secretary.

The board determined that the lawyers and witnesses for the Lenape Woods Coalition and Atlantic Highlands had raised significant concerns regarding public safety and the township’s liability.

“I was astounded (by the decision),” coalition Co-chair­man Paul Boyd, Atlantic Highlands, said later.

“For 10 years they have not gotten into the whole set of environment issues,” he said.

“(Last) Wednesday night, they finally got into it.”

The proposed Navesink Highlands community, a devel­opment of 375 units of afford­able housing for senior citizens and 92 assisted living units, would be built on 25 acres of land in the Lenape Woods, a hilly 250-acre tract primarily in Middletown near the Atlantic Highlands border.

The coalition is not against the affordable housing or the senior citizen community but is concerned about environmental problems the proposed com­munity they refer to as “Sudden City” would cause, Boyd said.

The nearly 75 local resi­dents who attended the meeting disrupted the testimony of Ocino Vice President John English with jeers and shout­ing. Many thought the proceed­ing was one-sided and that it leaned in the developer’s favor, they said.

The board finally issued aContinued on page 12

Holmdel board proposes 5.9-cent school tax hike

Rising enrollment, ratables slowdown,

state aid decline blamedBY BEVERLY McCEE________________C o r r e s p o n d e n t

HOLMDEL — The tentative 1999-2000 school budget includes a 5.9-cent tax in­crease.

Introduced March 3, the $28,706,439 spending plan includes a net increase of $1,081,378, or 3.9 percent, over this year’s budget.

If adopted following a March 24 public hearing and approved by voters April 20, the tax rate will be $1,615 per $100 of as­sessed valuation, which translates into an increase of $118 for a home assessed at $200,000.

A public hearing followed by a vote to adopt the proposed 1999-2000-school bud­get is set for March 24 at 8 p.m. in the cafe- torium of Indian Hill School, Holmdel Road.

Board officials attribute the proposed increase, the lowest school tax hike in the past three years, to continued enrollment growth, a major decline in state aid, slow ratables growth in the township and the dis­trict’s already lean spending practices.

With enrollment expected to increase by more than 5 percent next year, the already below average cost per pupil, now $7,526 per year, would further decline in 1999­2000. In addition, state aid will drop to $1,776,400 next year, an 8.9 percent de­crease over this year.

And while enrollment continues to in­

crease, growth of ratables in the township remains slow at just 1.4 percent this year.

As for spending in the district, officials say there are no easy cuts.

Of the 20 New Jersey high schools with the highest SAT scores, a list that includes Holmdel High School, only one school spent less per pupil in 1998-99, and just 1.1 percent less. The average cost per pupil of the other 19 high schools on the list is 23.6 percent higher than Holmdel’s.

Board officials say the proposed budget focuses on educational goals by adding staff to meet increased enrollment, and enhances bus safety with features that include adding new buses and one additional driver.

The budget also advances instruction by adding books and materials to the schools’ libraries, new textbooks and classroom resources, and provides expanded opportu­nities for students in the fine and perform­ing arts.

The budget also funds building en­hancements, including new parking lot lights at Satz Intermediate School on Crawfords Comer Road and new ceiling tiles in the gym at Village School on McCampbell Road.

The proposed budget also makes progress on the district’s five-year plan to infuse technology in subject area instruction by providing computers, software, library automation, and Internet and distance learn­ing access at all grade levels, officials say.

Three budget presentations are sched­uled for April 13: 10 a.m. at Indian Hill School, 2:45 p.m. at Holmdel High School, and 7:30 p.m. at Village School.

A fourth budget presentation is planned for 9:45 a.m. April 17 to the Jersey Shore Chinese School in the Satz School library.

MIDDLETOWN — With the swear­ing in of three new police officers on Monday, the township police force is back up to its authorized strength of 99 officers.

The three new policemen are replacing officers who have retired. The starting annual salary for new officers who have completed training at the police academy is $30,000.

Felipe Benedit, Robert Shannon and Lawrence Seymour follow three new hires who took the oath of office last month, bringing the total up to six new officers.

All three are veterans of Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm. Benedit, 31, lives in Monmouth Beach with his wife, Kelly Ann, and their three children. He comes to the township from the Monmouth County Sheriffs Office Law Enforcement Division.

Benedit received his original police training from the Monmouth County Police Academy, where he graduated in November 1998.

He was born and raised in Georgia, leaving there after his enlistment in the U.S. Army where he served for eight years as an air intercept controller.

Benedit, who has completed one year of college toward a business degree, is fluent in Spanish and Portuguese.

Shannon, 24, is single. A veteran of Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm and Desert Strike, he was bom in Brooklyn, N.Y., and moved to Middletown with his parents when he was 14 years old.

Immediately after graduating from Middletown High School South in 1992, Shannon entered the U.S. Air Force. Prior to his deployment overseas, he was assigned to the Air Force security police.

Shannon is scheduled to attend the upcoming 199th basic course for police officers at the N.J. State Police Academy along with probationary officers Andrew Micalizzi and Carl Roth, two of the men appointed last month.

Seymour, 29, lives in Eatontown with his wife, Judith, and their son. He comes to Middletown from the East Orange Police Department and is a graduate of the Essex County Police Academy.

Seymour is a U.S. Army veteran of the Gulf War, where he served as an infantry­man. He is presently a staff sergeant in the U.S. National Guard and plans to con­tinue serving his country as a member of C/Company, 2-113 Infantry.

New officers who have not undergone training will attend the N.J. State Police Academy class which starts March 30. Those who have previous police experi­ence will begin a 3-month field officer training program during which they will ride with another officer, Police Chief John Pollinger explained.

“These officers are the cream of the crop,” Pollinger added. “They began the arduous process over one year ago. They rose to the top of the list and then had to pass a large number of background checks and a complete medical and psy­chological evaluation.”

Board hires firm to fix H.S. South sink holesBY MARY DEMPSEYS t a f f W r i t e r

MIDDLETOWN — At a special meet­ing Monday morning, the school board appointed a contractor to fix the sink hole problem at High School South’s football field and running track.

The Board of Education voted unani­mously to award a contract to Jomac Builders Inc., Belford. Schools were closed because of the Sunday snowstorm, and no members of the public were pre­sent.

Board members Sherry Gevarter and Jeanne Osborne were absent from the 8 a.m. emergency meeting at New Monmouth Elementary School’s all-pur­pose room.

The field repairs are expected to cost at least $52,000. Jomac’s bid of $129,000 as a cost to fix the field was the lowest of

three the board received.The board anticipates the cost of re­

pairing the field to be less than half of Jomac’s bid. School Superintendent Dennis Jackson said at the Monday meet­ing that some existing projects the district had scheduled would have to be re-evalu­ated in order to cover the costs of fixing High School South’s field.

The sink holes were caused by a bro­ken drainage pipe 17 feet below the foot­ball field, according to district officials.

The pipes carry a small underground stream that runs down the middle of the football field.

A preliminary investigation revealed that a small portion of the underground pipe has collapsed under the football field.

The repairs will include excavation above the area where the broken piping was found.

HAZLET — The Board of Education last week voted to adopt guidelines to deal with verbal harassment and terroris­tic threats.

Broken down into three levels, the guidelines are designed to help the princi­pal and other school professionals deter­mine appropriate responses.

Level 1 is characterized by threats communicated in a benign, generally non- aggressive manner. Responses include consultations between principal, parents and other professionals if needed.

Level 2 includes threats spoken by stu­dents who are known to be emotional or impulsive, seem to be socially isolated, depressed or self-abusive.

The response to such threats will involve conferences with the student and

the student’s parents, the victim and the victim’s parents, and the school psycholo­gist or social worker.

Level 3 will apply to any action or situ­ation requiring immediate intervention, such as direct threats made to other stu­dents or staff members, possession of a weapon or claim of weapon possession, or exhibition of behaviors meriting drug/sub­stance abuse testing.

In these situations the student will be isolated from class and after a conference with the principal, social worker, police and the student’s parents, the student will be placed on home instruction, following recommendations from the school psy­chologist and social worker.

Board members also discussed a poli­cy regarding transport of students to baby sitters or caregivers. The policy will be implemented in some form by May or June.

Parents may establish an alternate stop provided it is along the same route the student would normally travel. This will pertain to eligible and subscription trans­portation students. Further board discus­sion will address problems such as emer­gencies and caregiver illness.

Holmdel permits bigger buildings in Rt. 35 zoneEnvironmentalists

oppose changes; town hopes to attract ratables

BY BEVERLY McGEE __ __ _____C o r r e s p o n d e n t

HOLMDEL — The Township Com­mittee has approved zoning changes that will allow the development of larger, “big box” retail buildings along Route 35.

The unanimous vote from the four committee members present at the March 8 meeting followed close to three hours of public comment both for and against the changes.

Committeeman Gary Aumiller was absent.

According to the changes adopted by the committee, the allowable size of a building in the RO-3 Retail Office Dis­trict zone will increase from 40,000 to

165,000 square feet.The change also increases permitted

building heights by five feet, from 30 to 35 feet.

With additional footage permitted for ornamental architecture, the increase totals about nine feet.

Committee members took the oppor­tunity to address what they called misin­formation being circulated through the township about the ordinance changes.

Committee members said that while the ordinance changes will allow the con­struction of larger buildings, the maxi­mum amount of square footage that can be developed will not change.

The increase in allowable height will add to the aesthetic value of buildings to be constructed, they said.

The floor area ratio permitted by the ordinance will remain at 15 percent and impervious coverage allowed will remain at 50 percent, Mayor David Chai said.

“Both have not changed,” he said.Committeeman Terence Wall com­

mented about misinformation that the committee would approve zoning changes permitting the construction of towers of unlimited height.

“That issue is in the existing ordi­nance,” Wall, said “It is not an addition” he said, adding that he believes the com­mittee should revisit the subject of towers at a later date.

Committeewoman Mollie Giamanco also spoke in favor of the changes, saying the township has a responsibility to bring in increased ratables that the changes will promote.

“The traffic is already (along Route 35),” she said. “The surrounding towns are getting the ratables and we’re getting the burdens.”

While many in the audience agreed, others worried that the area is being de­veloped too intensively and too quickly.

“We recommend not adopting the

ordinance in its present form,” said Sam Shramko, representing the grassroots Citizens for Informed Land Use (CILU) organization, noting that the changes are not consistent with the township’s 1993 master plan.

But committee members criticized CILU for circulating a flier about the or­dinance and proposed changes.

“The master plan called for something very limiting,” said Wall.

The Environmental Commission, rep­resented at the meeting by Chairman Larry Fink, also opposed the zoning changes. '

Before adopting the amended ordi­nance, the committee unanimously ap­proved a resolution, noting that certain aspects of the ordinance are inconsistent with the township’s 1993 master plan.

“I believe it is a reasonable change,” Deputy Mayor loseph Speranza said. “It will also help with our taxes. Route 35 is the place to put this,” he said.

Track condition worries winning South coachBoard looking for way to fund improvements

at both tracksBY MARY DEMPSEYS t a f f W r i t e r

MIDDLETOWN — The surface of High School South’s track is wearing thin and may be causing injuries to stu­dent athletes, according to the coach of the girls’ track team.

“The track is way overdue to be resurfaced,” coach Karl Torchia said at a recent school board meeting. “There’s supposed to be a quarter to half inch of rubberized surface on the track, which is worn down and in some parts of the track, it is just blacktop.”

The school that boasts the No. 1 ranked girls’ high school distance med­ley team in the country also has a track that is eroded down to the asphalt in some spots.

On Sunday, High School South run­ners Cate Guiney, her sister Maggie,

• Joanne Bradley and Tara Frohjlich placed first in the distance medley relay race at the National Scholastic Indoor Track and Field Championships in Boston.

In addition, Cate Guiney broke the New Jersey high school two-mile run record by more than eight seconds. Guiney’s second-place finish in a time of 10:27.20 for the two-mile race

“The kids in the last four years have won six state championships. They’ve put a lot into this, blood, sweat and tears, and they don’t ask for anything back,” Torchia stated.

Torchia, an exercise physiologist, said the High School South track has the potential to cause injury.

“I’m concerned about the kids. A lot of them are getting shin splints; some are turning into stress fractures and this is costing a lot of them their running ca­reers, and in some cases, it may cost them scholarships,” Torchia told the Board of Education two weeks ago.

asked Torchia if the track should be closed down for safety reasons, but he said, “No, I ’m saying that the tracks need to be redone very shortly.”

The track was last refurbished ap­proximately 10 years ago, according to Torchia.

The district is currently looking into raising the money for track repairs at

both high schools in this year’s budget, district Communications Director Karen Kondek said Friday.

Board President John Johnson sug­gested South’s runners use the cinder track at nearby Thompson Middle School on Middletown-Lincroft Road until a decision is made regarding re­pairing the high school track. But Torchia said, “That track is not really runnable, and we cannot have meets up there.”

The track at Thompson Middle

School has a rough, uneven surface with missing cinders.

Torchia added that the straight-aways are uneven and the track’s width varies from 10 to 20 feet in spots.

“If you find you have a need for the Thompson track, if this becomes a safe­ty issue, and the board can’t respond, certainly let us know what we can do as an alternative,” Johnson added.

Last year, the board approved a rec­ommendation to refur­bish the running tracks at both high schools. B u t to avoid g o in g over its budget limit, or state cap, the fund­ing question was placed on the ballot as a separate question and included repara­tions to the High School South football field and the High School North football bleachers. The cost of the projects totaled $700,000 and would have added 1.5 cents per $100 of assessed valuation to the tax rate. Voters approved the budget but defeat­ed the question by fewer than 500 votes.Because the measure was defeated as a sep­arate question, the dis­trict could not allocate any funds to repairing the field this year.The district now faces emergency “sink hole” repairs at the High School South football

field and eroding tracks at both high schools.

Throughout the school year, the High School South track team has anywhere from 80 to 180 participants.

Approximately 180 students run in the spring, 120 in the winter, and 80 to 90 participate in the fall.

“There are more participants in cross-country, indoor track and outdoor track than any other sport in any other school,” Torchia said.

Hearing on open space plan set for March 24Middletown will use

list to determine future land acquisitions

BY LINDA DeNICOLA_______ __________S t a f f W r i t e r

MIDDLETOWN — The township’s Open Space Preservation Plan is ready for public view. The ad hoc Open Space Committee has scheduled a public hearing on the draft plan for 8 p.m. March 24 at town hall.

Copies of the proposed plan are available for review at the Township Clerk’s Office and the Planning Department in the munici­pal complex and at the library on New Monmouth Road.

Voters approved an open space tax of 1 cent per $100 of assessed valuation in November which will enable the township to raise about $454,000 annually starting this year. The fund, officials have said, will enable the township to bond for up to $7 million to acquire open space.

Having a plan in place also helps the township qualify for special funding under the state Green Acres program. The new open space plan contains a list of more than 40 properties identified as having potential value to the township for preservation or recreation purposes.

Committeewoman Rosemarie D. Peters, who chairs the special committee, said that this does not mean that the township will be interested in acquiring all of the properties, nor be able to do so with the limited binding

available.“What the plan will do is provide the

present and future governing bodies with a new menu of options from which they can select parcels which will serve various needs within the township,” Peters said.

Deputy Mayor Joan A. Smith, who also serves on the committee, added that a major factor in determining which parcels are pur­chased will be their availability and the abil­ity of the township and the owners to reach agreeable terms. “We are not interested in condemning properties or forcing unwilling owners to sell,” Smith said.

The properties included in the plan range from large tracts of hundreds of acres to small parcels of just one acre and are located throughout the 40-square-mile township. A further list of 100 small properties is being

reviewed by the standing Open Space Preservation Committee for use as pocket parks. These are primarily in the older, more densely populated areas of the town.

The plan also includes a rating system which will help the governing body to eval­uate the environmental and aesthetic charac­teristics as well as the potential uses of each parcel.

Members of the ad hoc committee include representatives of the Township Committee, Planning Board, Environmental Commission, Recreation Advisory Board, ad hoc, Open Space Preservation Committee, Monmouth County Park System and Monmouth Conservation Foundation. The township’s Planning and Parks and Recreation directors have assisted the committee in working on the plan.

Hazlet residents to get free computer trainingBY RUTH CALIAC o r r e s p o n d e n t

HAZLET — By the 2001-2002 school year there will be a computer in every classroom in the Hazlet school system, promised Schools Superintendent Timothy Nogueira at last week’s Board of Education meeting.

In an effort to promote computer litera­cy throughout the community, the town­ship and school board have formed a part­nership with Comcast Online Internet and a series of Community Computer Nights is planned.

Together they are offering the use of 25 computers in the Raritan High School library with free Internet service for stu­dents’ use during the day and for other res­idents of the town on designated Thursdays, from 7-9 p.m.

Student and adult volunteers will serve as “web guides” for anyone needing assis­tance.

The March 25 Community Computer Night will be designed for senior citizens. April 22 is set aside for parents of K-3 children, while grades 4-5 and middle school parents are invited to attend April 29.

Police, fire and first aid personnel will have access on May 13, Raritan High School parents will attend May 27, and an open night for everyone is scheduled for June 3.

The board has provided the funds to upgrade the electrical service in the library in order to accommodate this project.

In other action last week, the board voted to add one day to the end of the school year to compensate for a snow day used earlier in the year. This will alter scheduled final exams and graduation cer-

Also, in response to concerns about morning traffic problems on Middle Road at the exit and entrance drives to Raritan High School, including a recent accident, the board discussed possible solutions, including having patrol officers direct morning traffic at the school intersection between 7:15 and 8 a.m. when classes begin.

Keyport getting $75,000 for special ed trainingGrant money

promotes inclusion of disabled students

BY MARY DEMPSEY ___ __S t a f f W r i t e r

KEYPORT — The school district’s special education program is about to get a financial boost.

The district is set to receive a $75,000 grant from the Monmouth-Ocean Educational Services Commission to sup­port training for special education teachers, child study team members, administrators, parents and students to promote the inclu­sion of disabled students in regular educa­tion.

The additional training for parents, staff and students is intended to increase the school and outside communities’ under­standing of the moderate and severely dis­abled population, according to district Director of Pupil Personnel Karen Frumen.

Youths & Teddy bears to attend nature event

The Monmouth County Park System will offer youngsters, ages 5-7, a nature program called “Teddy in the Woods” on Saturday from 1-2:30 p.m. The session will take place at the Holmdel Park Activity Center on Longstreet Road in Holmdel. Youngsters are encouraged to bring their favorite Teddy bears with them to enjoy stories of real bears, make a craft, hike through the woods and enjoy a snack. The cost will be $5 per child. Pre registra­tion is required. For information or regis­tration, call (732) 842-4000 or (732) 219­9484 for the hearing impaired.

'Music Man' to perform at Longstreet Farm Sat.

The Monmouth County Park System will host “Music Man” Rich Marzec 1-3 p.m. Saturday at Longstreet Farm, an 1890s living history farm, on Longstreet Road, Holmdel. Area residents are invited to enjoy the sounds of the “Gay ’90s” in the sitting room of the farmhouse. Call (732) 842-4000 or (732) 219-9484 for the hearing impaired.

Fourteen school districts in Monmouth and Ocean counties, including Middletown, are collaborating in the effort to heighten awareness of inclusive educa­tion for disabled students.

School staff is scheduled to be trained at Georgian Court College, Lakewood. It is anticipated the partnership with Georgian Court College will lead to changes in train­ing for teachers working with the disabled population.

Increasing the number of disabled stu­dents participating in standardized testing, raising the number of regular education teachers participating in inclusion class­rooms, and increasing planning periods between special education teachers and regular education teachers will be support­ed by the $75,000 grant, according to Frumen.

The goal of the initiative is to develop a regional professional development acade­my for school administrators, teachers, staff and parents in the two counties.

Recent changes to the federal Indi­viduals with Disabilities Education Act

(IDEA) of 1975 promises to offer children with disabilities more opportunities for an inclusive education with their peers in reg­ular classes.

The new legislation, signed into law June 4, 1997, by President Clinton is in­tended to strengthen academic expecta­tions and accountability for disabled chil­dren, as well as offer increased parental involvement in the educational process of children with disabilities.

More children with disabilities will be moved into the regular classroom setting under the new law. By removing financial incentives to districts which separate dis­abled children from the regular classroom setting, the 1997 IDEA is designed to place children with disabilities with their peers in the regular classroom rather than keep­ing them separate.

Inclusive education requires educating all students with disabilities in their neigh­borhood schools, in general education classes equivalent to the students’ chrono­logical ages.

In addition, students with disabilities

may not be excluded from a class or school community based on the type or degree of the disability. This is achieved through the use of cooperative learning, peer tutoring and peer support.

Inclusion is the education of children with disabilities in a regular classroom set­ting with additional teaching support with primary placement in the regular class­room.

Although the primary placement is in the regular classroom, the student may also receive instruction in other areas based on the students’ needs.

Often referred to as the “regular edu­cation initiative,” the education of students with disabilities in an inclusive setting means placing the students in a general classroom with a regular teacher and a spe­cial education teacher. Both teachers share the responsibility of instruction in the class.

In addition, the educational programs implemented in the inclusive classroom setting are labeled, rather than labeling the children with the disabilities.

C A F R A r u le s t o b e r e p r o p o s e dThe state Department of

Environmental Protection (DEP) announced it will repropose amendments to the Coastal Area Facility Review Act (CAFRA) rules.

In December the DEP proposed CAFRA amendments that included boundaries in towns along the coast where development would be concentrat­ed in order to preserve outlying areas. Department officials encouraged munici­palities to examine those boundaries and to suggest revisions as appropriate.

Based on comments received to date, the DEP plans to make certain changes re­garding the regulation of barrier islands

and interim center boundaries that will re­quire this reproposal.

The department is working with municipalities to propose a “center per­mit” similar to the streamlined approach being tested in Long Branch, where the DEP works with a town to establish a spe­cial CAFRA permit that allows develop­ment applications to be processed and approved at the local level.

The department will continue to solicit comments on its original proposal until the public comment period closes April 9. These additional comments will be taken into account when the reproposal is being developed.

In his testimony to the board, English said, “There is a need for affordable housing. I know how to do it and the township expressed interest in it.”

A large percentage of the Lenape Woods area, of which about 20 acres are in Atlantic Highlands, contains steep slopes.

According to literature produced by the Lenape Woods Coalition, “the tree mass on these slopes is a source of oxy­gen and cleanser for the air.”

A witness for the coalition, geolo­gist Suzanne Macaoay of Sadat Associates Inc., a Princeton environ­mental and engineering science firm, testified that the steep slopes pose the threat of an avalanche of gravel and soil.

“(The project) is a serious risk and danger to the public ” she said.

Macaoay said the danger comes not only from cutting into the unstable hill­side, but also from the resulting buildup of water in the slopes, she said.

The developer defended the plans and called Macaoay’s assessment “geo­logically impossible.”

As a preventative measure, Ocino’s

plans include a wall along the back of the development. The 630-foot-long wall would be built into the slopes and would run along he backs of the six proposed buildings in the development.

Water and drainage were another major concern of the environmental ex­perts that testified on behalf of the coalition and the Atlantic Highlands. Dr. Lahbibi Chibani, also of Sadat

After reviewing the plans, board en­gineer Robert W. Bucco Jr. of T&M Associates. Middletown, also had a list of concerns about water management. He drew up 21 questions for the dev el­oper.

In September, a state Superior Court judge overturned the board’s March 1997 approval of the project, ruling that the board had exceeded its authori­ty. The ruling in that case was based on legal issues regarding the plans for (lie community, not the environmental con­cerns discussed at the March 10 meet­ing.

The latest delay means Ocino Inc. will not be able to get the $15 million in tax credits from the state Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency to fund the project. The deadline for the tax credit application was today.

H o u s e to b e p r e s e n te d S a tu r d a yMIDDLETOWN — Archaeological

findings at the historic Holland Road Luyster House will be one of the high­lights at an archaeological conference Saturday at Monmouth University, West Long Branch.

Middletown resident Gerard R Scharfenberger, an archaeologist with Louis Berger and Associates Inc., East Orange, and Monmouth University Professor Richard Veit will present a paper titled “Archaeological Investigations at an 18th-Century Dutch-American Farm: The Johannes Luyster House,” at 2:30 p.m. at the annual Archaeological Society of New Jersey (ASNJ) Conference which is being held from noon to 4 p.m. at the universi­ty’s Woodrow Wilson Hall auditorium.

Scharfenberger, who is a member of the Middletown Landmarks Commission and who has done other local research, said his presentation will last about an hour and invites area residents to attend.

The Luyster paper will cover the rea­sons for the project, the history of the site and an overview of the excavations, fea­tures and artifacts recovered to date.

The artifacts, many of which will be displayed at the conference, span the near­ly three centuries the Luyster family occu­pied the house, as well as an Indian settle­ment that predated European colonization.

Scharfenberger’s presentation will include slides of the house, the site and paintings of the house done over the years. He also will show slides of some of the artifacts uncovered during his extensive archaeological dig.

The Luyster House was moved in December from its original location on

Monday.“NJ Transit would retain ownership of

the railroad right of way and the county would lease it and assume responsibility for maintenance and liability,” Miller explained.

Wally Tunison, MHT vice president

i n t h e w o r k sand owner of the Bicycle Hub in Marlboro, said that there is an increasing need for county recreational facilities such as bike pathways that are quiet and safe for users.

According to Tunison, the county- owned Henry Hudson Trail, which fol­lows a former abandoned railroad right of way in the Bayshore area from Aberdeen

to Atlantic Highlands, gets well over50,000 visitors a year.

Rail trails also bring economic benefits to businesses along the trails, he said, including restaurants and convenience stores, local attractions and museums, and bicycle repair shops.

Studies show that trail users spend from $5 to $11 per visit, he added.

And homeowners with property next to or near a rail trail usually find the value of their property can rise as much as 7 percent.

p r o t e c t i o n s t a n d a r d sPallone, N.J. senators

proposing to bring other states in line

BY LINDA DeNICOLAS t a f f W r i t e r

MIDDLETOWN — There is cur­rently no national beach protection pro­gram and no uniform standards for beach closings and advisories.

Three New Jersey legislators want to change that. Congressman Frank Pallone (D-6) and Senators Frank Lautenberg and Robert Torricelli (D-NJ.) are seek­ing to bring other states’ beach water testing standards closer to the high level mandated in New Jersey.

Pallone has introduced H.R. 950, the BEACH Act (Beaches Environmental Assessment, Closure, and Health Act) and Lautenberg and Torricelli intro­duced a companion legislation in the Senate.

According to Pallone, this legisla­tion, which would amend the Clean Water Act, would ensure that states have in place adequate beach testing pro­grams and provide protection from health risks, while allowing states flexi­bility in determining beach closures or in implementing stricter standards.

Although the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has recom­mended standards, most states still have

not adopted them, Pallone added.A July 1998 report by the National

Resources Defense Council (NRDC) singles out New Jersey for praise as the only state to have a statewide mandatory beach protection program that includes a bacteria standard, a testing protocol, and mandatory closure requirements when­ever the bacteria standard is exceeded.

The program has been in place since 1986, Pallone said.

There were only 18 beach closings and advisories for New Jersey ocean beaches in 1997 and 24 closings and advisories at bay beaches. Statewide, signs are posted on beaches when there is a potential health risk from swim­ming.

Because the standards employed by most other states are far lower, beach- goers often receive insufficient warning of potential risk and have no basis for comparing the safety of swimming in those coastal waters.

“This is another example of how New Jersey can serve as a model for what we should do on a nationwide ba­sis,” Pallone said.

“While other states may wish to pre­serve the status quo, we believe that the public good would be much better served by requiring a higher standard. Our intention is not to micro-manage how each state implements its testing program, only to ensure that there is a uniform, high standard.”

Belford man aiming to stay top MS fund-raiser

Motivated by wife’s illness, he’s raised more

than $175K for MS SocietyBY LINDA DeNICOLAS t a f f W r i t e r

MIDDLETOWN — Belford resident Robert Zirlin is dedicated to raising funds for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. His dedication and resourcefulness are moti­vated by love for his wife, Mary, who was diagnosed with MS 11 years ago when she was 30 years old.

He has been a major fund-raiser for a number of years and is about to begin his tristate effort to be the highest fund-raiser nationally for the third straight year. He is collecting donations for the MS Walk, scheduled for April 18..

When his wife was diagnosed with the disease, Zirlin said he felt frustrated.

“There was nothing I could do to help her,” he explained. “Then I found that I am a good fund-raiser. So I’m raising money in the hope that a cure will be found in her life­time.”

Last year, Zirlin raised more than $53,000. The year before, more than $38,000, and he was recognized by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society as its top fund-raiser nationally.

Zirlin, who works for the American Stock Exchange, raises funds from November to May.

“I’ve broken my record every year for the past nine years and plan to do die same this year,” he said. Zirlin’s total the past sev­eral years is more than $175,000.

Zirlin has a list of contributors and has added to it every year. He has more than 450 people on the list, but plans to stop at 500. “It’s very difficult to talk to that many peo­ple,” he said, since sometimes he has to talk to them more than once.

Zirlin said that since he has been raising money for MS, a number of new drugs have come out to help slow the disease. “I’m happy that they have come out with new medicine, but I’m hoping to buy time to come up with a cure,” he said.

According to National Multiple Sclerosis Society literature, MS is the most common chronic neurological condition of young adults in North America and Europe. It usu­ally hits people at the ages of 20-40.

The estimated prevalence of MS in the United States is 250,000-300,000, with nearly 10,000 new cases diagnosed annu­ally. Women are affected more than men and 95 percent of people with MS are Caucasian, while 5 percent are African- American.

It is a disease that randomly attacks the nervous system. Symptoms may range from numbness to paralysis and blindness. The disease is unpredictable. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of the disease cannot be foreseen.

Anyone interested in sponsoring Zirlin can call him at (732) 706-1348.

The National MS Society sponsors the MS Walk, held at 650 sites across the country, including eight in mid-Jersey. “The National MS Society is dedicated to ending the devastating effects of MS; that’s our mission,” Gina Murdoch, direc­tor of the MS Walk, said.

Funds received through the MS Walk support education, advocacy, research and local programs that enhance the quality of life for people with MS and their families.

Individuals may register on-line or by phone or fax. For more information, or to register for the MS Walk or coast-to-coast bike tour, call the Multiple Sclerosis Society Mid-Jersey Chapter at (732) 643­0010, or visit the chapter’s web site at www.mjcms.org.

Young Abepdeen step dancer off to Ireland11-year-old fell in love with the dance style at

local Irish festivalBY LINDA DeNICOLA _______S t a f f W r i t e r

ABERDEEN — Siobhan Nolan, 11, of Aberdeen competes in Irish step-dancing competitions in the Northeast, but soon she will be competing in Ireland.

The competition in Ennis, County Clair, runs from March 28 to April 4. “We’ve been raising funds for a month now through candy sales” and other activ­ities, her mother Dawn said.

The sixth-grader at the Matawan Avenue Middle School has been attending the Peter Smith School of Irish Dance in South Amboy for four years. For her, the best thing about Irish step dancing is all of the people she has met.

“We go to competitions all over,” Nolan said. “She has competed in Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New York, Delaware and New Jersey. Siobhan gets to meet kids from other schools, other states and now she will meet dancers from all over the world.”

Siobhan became interested in the dance form when she was 7 years old when she saw step dancers during an Irish festival at the Garden State Arts Center, now the PNC Bank Arts Center, in Holmdel. She told her mother, “That’s what I want to do.”

Last year she was one of the dancers at the PNC Bank Arts Center’s Irish Festival and on March 6 she danced in the Frank Patterson Irish Show at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Patterson is a well- known Irish tenor, her mother explained.

In order to compete at the world cham­pionships in Ireland, Siobhan had to com­pete at the Northeastern Regional

Oireachtas (Competition) in Philadelphia, Pa., over the Thanksgiving weekend.

She and seven other girls formed what is called an eight-hand ceili group, Nolan said. “To be eligible to go to Ireland, they had to place in the top three. They placed third.”

The experience of traveling to compe­titions has been fun for the whole family, Nolan said. “I can’t step dance, but I love the music,” she noted.

There are three basic types of step dances: soft shoe, where the dancers wear ghillies, soft black shoes with criss-cross laces up the front; hard shoe, where they dance in shoes with fiberglass heels and taps on the toes; and figure or team danc­ing.

The eight-hand reel is a set-figure dance for eight dancers. These soft-shoe dances are the only dances that incorpo­rate hand and arm movements.

Since the popular stage show Riverdance debuted, step dancing has become more popular, Nolan said. Siobhan has an 8-year-old sister, Caitlin, who is also a step dancer. The girls go to class twice a week, and during competi­tions, they go three times a week. They practice every day at home.

“It’s hard,” Nolan said. “Did you ever try dancing while holding your arms straight down? It’s harder than moving your arms. And they can’t look stiff. Beside that, the dances are very compli­cated.”

Five recognized for response to Route 34 school bus accidents

BY BEVERLY McGEE______C o r r e s p o n d e n t

HOLMDEL — The Police Department has named Sgt. Michael Smith as its Officer of the Year. Smith, along with several colleagues and a number of civil­ians, was honored at the department’s annual awards ceremony held during the March 8 Township Committee meeting.

Police Chief R. Bruce Phillips and Police Commissioner and Committee- woman Mollie Giamanco presented the awards.

Smith, a member of the department since 1986, was promoted to sergeant in 1998 and is a leader in the number of ar­rests made and summonses issued.

Smith also received an award earlier this year from the Monmouth County Drunk Driving Task Force for leading the county in arrests of drivers who were under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

“He is an example of a leader who can say, ‘Do as I do,’ ” said Phillips.

Cpl. James Davis was honored with a Distinguished Service Medal for his work in community policing. In addition to his patrol work, Davis serves as the de­partment’s blood-borne pathogen officer, and works with township children in such areas as Halloween safety.

Patrolman Shawn Bailey received the department’s Police Medal for having apprehended an armed robber at the PNC Bank in the Holmdel Towne Center shop­ping mall on Route 35 and Laurel Avenue.

Receiving letters of commendation were Sgt. Donald Hughes, Detectives Frank Allocco and Kenneth McGowan, Cpls. James Smythe and Thomas Durdack and Patrolmen Daniel Benbrook, Keith Cannata, Shawn Bailey and Eric Hernando.

Two Hazlet officers, Sgt. Jack Mullins and Patrolman John Fitzsimmons, received special awards for their roles in apprehending a subject who was fleeing from Holmdel after having robbed three homes.

Several civilians were also honored for roles in two accidents that occurred at the intersection of routes 34 and 520.

Linda Spangle, a registered nurse who lives in Manalapan, was honored with a Citizen Service Award for her efforts to help a victim in an accident at the inter­section involving a dump truck and a pas­senger vehicle. Spangle stabilized the vic­tim and assisted when rescue personnel arrived.

When a dump truck and school bus collided at the same intersection, resulting in several injuries, civilians Thomas Dougan of Hazlet and Arthur Raskin of Colts Neck, assisted the injured people and helped the less injured off the bus.

Rebecca Stuart and Ashley Merrigan, both of Colts Neck, two older students on the bus, also assisted while Dr. Sandra Connoly, a Freehold doctor, took immedi­ate action with the more seriously injured.

All were honored by the department with Citizen Service awards.

“The Police Department takes great pride in the strictures we have placed upon the receipt of awards,” Chief Phillips told the honorees.

Army Cadet Brendan D. Masini wasplaced on the dean’s list at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y. He is the son of David P. and Carol L. Masini of Holmdel.

David R ossics of Holmdel, a Massachusetts Maritime Academy cadet, recently returned from a six-week training cruise from the MMA campus in Buzzards Bay to Cuba and other tropical ports.

Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pa., named the following local students to the dean’s list for the fall semester: Risa Cara Letowsky and Vittorio Antonio Russo, both of Aberdeen; and Shea- Marie Roth of Hazlet.

Cory Gabel of Holmdel was named to the dean’s list for the fall semester at Susquehanna University in Selinsgrive, Pa.

“They are not just given away. They are earned. That is something you can be proud of.”

“Thank you. We’re very proud of you,” added Giamanco, thanking the award recipients and the entire Holmdel police force.

Mayor David Chai thanked the hon­orees on behalf of township residents.

“Thank you, officers, and keep up the good work,” Chai said.

Lucent Technologies recently an­nounced the selection of 200 U.S. semifinalists for its Global Science Scholars program, a competition to sup­port students around the world who are interested in careers in science and tech­nology. Eighty winners will be provided with one-time $5,000 scholarships and summer internships at Bell Labs loca­tions around the world. Semifinalists were selected based on their overall aca­demic achievement including perfor­mance on standardized tests, grade-point average, class rank, enrollment in advanced placement courses, honors classes, college courses and participation in other competitions related to science, math and technology. Area semifinalists are: Matthew Ellis of Aberdeen; Anjum H ossain and C hristopher Lynskey, both of Middletown; and Michael Mera of Hazlet. Finalists will be announced April 1. .

The latest addition to the Matawan Historical Society’s Burrowes Mansion Museum is a rare Redware pie plate (at right) the group purchased at auction. The historic building which the borough acquired in the 1970s recent­ly reopened for the 1999 season. It is open from 2 to 4 p.m. the first and third Sundays of the month.

Historical Society meticulously maintains circa 1723 houseBY RUTH CALIAC o r r e s p o n d e n t

Step through the front door of Burrowes

Mansion. Sarah Ellison, docent — or tour guide — for the Matawan Historical Society, is waiting to help you meander back through time.

The initial description of the house reveals that it really “two” ho joined together, an original Colonial-style section built circa 1723 and Victorian-era sec­tion that was added in the late 1800s.

Over the past quarter century, the Historical Society has acquired fur­nishings and artwork spanning the life of the home and reflecting its many functions, as well as providing a tactile record of life in Matawan.

One of the most prized pos sessions was recently pur­chased at auction. For $1,400 the society acquired a Redware pie dish believed to have been made in Matawan from the red clay found locally in abun­dance.

Described as a “yellow slip decorated pie plate with bird on a branch, coggled edge,” it is considered unique, since

birds were not usually found on the plates made in New Jersey.

The mansion, located at 94 Main St., was the site of a Revolutionary War skirmish when New Jersey Royal

Volunteers pursued Maj. John Burrowes Jr., son of the man­sion’s owner.

As Ellison explains, “Courtney Skinner and his group of Tories, called Skinner’s Greens because of their clothing, stormed through the mansion, firing guns which

left holes in the ceiling and injuring the major’s wife.”

The major, meanwhile, escaped by jumping out a win­dow and swimming across Matawan Creek, at that time a substantial water corridor behind the mansion. Eventually he joined George

Washington, who was encamped in the region.

In the 1850s, the man­sion served as the

Steamboat Hotel. It next became the home of a dentist, who apparently used the rear yard as a reposi­tory for pulled teeth, which were uncovered during an arche­ological dig. During the 1930s

it was known as the Colonial Tea

Room, owned by the publisher of the

Matawan Journal news­paper, Benjamin F.S.

Brown. It remained in the fam­ily until 1974, when Brown’s youngest daughter sold it to the borough of Matawan for $25,000.

Today, members of the Matawan Historical Society furnish and operate the Burrowes Mansion Museum.

On the first and third Sundays of each month, from 2

to 4 p.m., visitors can discover the trea- sure-trove of artifacts relating to historic Matawan.

A painting depicts a famous 1916 shark attack in Matawan Creek, and tiles from the Matawan Tile Co. and Atlantic Tile Co. can be seen.

On display in one of the upstairs bed­rooms is a spool or rope bed, so named for the ropes which served the same purpose as today’s metal springs.

With the recent renovation of the man­sion’s gambrel roof — which required expert craftsmanship to repair and replace the special shingles — the society is now turning its sights to improving the struc­ture’s electrical system. As a nonprofit organization, the society relies on contri­butions and membership fees.

The master bedroom features an ornate headboard and dresser.

Old ceiling beams in the downstajrs living room serve as a reminder of the house’s long and illustrious history. It was the site of a Revolutionary War skirmish in which a group of Tories stormed the house in pursuit of Maj. John Burrowes Jr., who jumped out a rear window and swam across Matawan Creek.

Meeting to focus on cleanup at Imperial OilEnvironmental group supports DEP’s plan

to excavate soilBY BRIAN DONAHUE __________S t a f f W r i t e r

MARLBORO — A local environmen­tal group is supporting an approach cho­sen by the state Department of Environ­mental Protection (DEP) for the on-site cleanup of Imperial Oil, off Tennent Road.

Out of several options considered for action on the site, the DEP is seeking to excavate the contaminated soil and sedi­ment from the property, transporting the “acceptable” soil and sediment to re-use facilities and sending the remaining mate­rial to disposal facilities. The excavated areas will then be back-filled with clean borrow soil, according to the option.

The alternative will be the focus of a meeting tomorrow at 7 p.m. at Town Hall, Wyncrest Road, convened by employees of the DEP’s Site Remediation Program.

Members of the Monmouth County Environmental Coalition (MCEC) and Marlboro’s Citizens Advisory Council are expected to attend the meeting.

“The MCEC is very, very supportive of what the DEP is proposing,” Marlboro resident Tina Freedman, the group’s pres­ident, said last week. “What they are rec­ommending for the cleanup is an excellent choice. It is the complete removal of all of the contaminants from the property.

We’re not talking about any fencing off or any restricting access (which were includ­ed as other alternatives). We don’t want to leave any contaminants on the property.”

Freedman said she hopes that members of the public will participate tomorrow and support a thorough cleanup of the site.

Imperial Oil, an oil blending and repackaging business that operates on the 4-acre property, was added in 1983 to the National Priorities List of Superfund sites to be cleaned up with federal funds. A 1985 DEP investigation revealed that both on-site and off-site soils had been contam­inated by past industrial operations at the facility. The plant has been used by a vari­ety of industries since the early 1900s.

The investigation also concluded that a plume of ground-water contamination was present in the underlying Englishtown aquifer, and a layer of oil product was floating on the water table where the waste filter clay pile was located. Contam­ination was also found in the sediment of Birch Swamp Brook, which originates near the northeastern border of the site and drains into Lake Lefferts, Matawan.

Last year, the federal Environmental Protection Agency cleaned up contami­nated soil at a residential area on Orchard Place, temporarily relocating some resi­dents of the small street.

However, remedial action on a non- residential off-site area and the on-site cleanup have not yet taken place. Freed­man said local officials are concerned about the sequence of the cleanup, prefer­

ring cleanup of the on-site area before the remaining off-site sections.

Freedman said she has questions about the DEP’s choice to clean up the on-site area by industrial standards rather than residential standards and whether the pro­cedure will protect the health of people in surrounding residential areas.

Whether Imperial Oil will be permitted to continue to operate during the remedial process is also expected to be discussed.

The public is permitted to comment on the DEP’s proposed plan until April 6, ac-

Freedman asked that residents also no­tify the MCEC of their comments by writ­ing to P.O. Box 1, Morganville, NJ 07751.

Questions can be directed to the DEP’s Mindy Mumford, community relations coordinator for the project, at (609) 777­1976.

OPINIONaUR VIEW

G e t th o s e t r a c k s f ix e d n o w

The Middletown Board of Education made a mistake last year when it put fund­ing for high school athletic track

repairs in a separate ballot ques­tion.

The board decided to lump money needed to refurbish the running tracks at both high schools and funding for other athletic field improvements together in a request for an extra $700,000.

Voters passed the budget but passed on the athletic field money.

It’s not clear why the board chose to put that particular fund­ing outside the budget to avoid going over cap.

Now, based on recent com­ments by Karl Torchia, the Middletown High School South girls’ track coach, South’s track is so worn down it could lead to injuries.

That’s an unacceptable situa­tion, especially given the honors the girls distance medley relay team and other track and field

athletes have brought home to South. It’s unacceptable regard­less of the caliber of the athletes who depend on the track to hone their skills.

In urging board members to act quickly to get the tracks back into shape, Torchia reminded them that, “The kids in the last four years have won six state championships. They’ve put a lot into this, blood, sweat and tears, and they don’t ask for anything back.”

Students’ safety, both in the classroom and on school grounds, should be a top priority for the board. It was a mistake to put funding for work the board knew had to be done outside the budget and then depend on vot­ers to be extra generous with their tax dollars.

Voters have been very gener­ous in recent years.

Worn down tracks that have the potential for causing injury are unacceptable and should not be funded as a separate measure outside the school budget.

LETTERSAnother farm lost to Holmdel developers

This week the migratory birds flew low over my home, returning from locations South. They followed their usual

early spring path to rest and recoup at Ackerson’s farm on Holmdel Road, as they and their ancestors had for so many years past. This year, however, instead of being greeted by cornstalks, they were met by bulldozers. You see, last week celebrated the “Grand Opening of Holmdel Ridge.”

I could not help but reminisce walking this farm about one year ago. As I made my way down farm lanes, crossing old wooden bridges over active streams, I noted unique bayberry, large stands of white birch and apple trees and recall sighting a box turtle. It was memo­rable because it was the only turtle I’ve seen in the wild in the last six years. It was still hibernating underground last month when the bulldozers and graders made their cuts. Once again, humans have changed the face of Holmdel and another bit of the magic is gone.

Given the prices of these homes, it is not hard to imagine why our remaining open spaces are at risk. The original contract pur­chaser, a local developer, made verbal promises and received vari­ous concessions because he under­stood the “character” of our town. After approvals he “flipped” the property to an out-of-town builder and walked away. I wonder if the new midwest developer under­stands or cares about our “charac­ter.” Yes, Virginia, there is money to be made in Holmdel.

I find it ironic that as this farm is modernized, the builder publish­es directions from Garden State Parkway Exit 114 instead of the closer 117. This will bring po­tential buyers along the “rural and scenic” routes, away from the traf­fic and congestion which, in a few months, they will inevitably join and contribute to.

Colleague re c a lls slain Thorne teach er

At this time of the year, I can’t help but think about a former colleague of mine who is no longer with us. It

was three years ago that Kathy Weinstein was the victim of a carjacking/murder. Kathy was a caring teacher and a loving wife and mother. I often think of her; she will always be a part of the Thome Middle School family.

Last week I mentioned to one of my classes that it was coming up on the third anniversary of Mrs. Weinstein’s death. One of my students was surprised that I would use the word anniversary. This student felt that anniversary meant a celebration, and why would we be celebrating?

I pointed out that anniversary also refers to commemorating someone’s life. Every year we should commemorate Kathy’s life; we should honor her with our memories of who she was and the legacy that she left behind.

Don't fo rget Ab'deen so c c e r field needs

The Aberdeen-Matawan Soccer League (AMSL) recently learned that Aberdeen Township is applying

for a state grant of $455,000 to build roller hockey rinks, bleach­ers and a concession stand. While we have no problem with, and in fact fully support, facilities for the children who play roller hockey, we feel that the AMSL and its more than 600 children are no less deserving.

The AMSL has been working with different Aberdeen Township councils for the past four years to acquire soccer fields, and has proposed several locations as potential sites. We have put a lot of effort into work­ing cooperatively with the coun­cils and received firm promises that our needs will be addressed. The councils have initially viewed each of these proposals as viable; but after significant delays, all have been rejected for various reasons. The councils have proposed sites over the years also, but each of these offers was rescinded.

Three years ago we were offered a soccer field at what we believe is the same location as the proposed roller hockey rink. This proposal was retracted due to an engineer’s report stating the property was surrounded by wet­lands and prone to flooding.

Our league is growing at a tremendous rate. We have experi­enced more than 35 percent growth during the past two years. We’re at a point that we can sup­port only this year’s anticipated growth. The AMSL was forced to establish a waiting list for one

of our divisions last fall. If we receive more registrations than we anticipate this year, additional children will be denied the opportunity to play.

These facts have been com­municated to the township man­ager and council in two separate documents, one in July and an­other in October of 1998.

This state funding grant appli­cation is especially disturbing in light of the fact that the AMSL has been trying to get something much less grand for a long time. The township manager and coun­cil have met us with ambiva­lence, rejection and interference at every turn. Not once during the four years that we have attempted to get facilities has anyone from the township mentioned any grant money to help us. In fact, money has always been men­tioned as a limiting factor with every option discussed.

We have to question why, when the opportunity for a recre­ation grant was presented to the township, the decision was made to write the application for roller hockey facilities and completely ignore soccer. In light of the time we have spent with the township in our efforts to obtain soccer facilities, we find it astonishing that they were not included in the grant application.

When will the Aberdeen Township manager and council begin to honestly and sincerely deal with the needs of our 600- plus children? We anxiously await their reply.

Community respon ds to blood donor call

In January Bayshore Commu­nity Hospital, CentraState Medical Center and the Meridian Health System teamed

up with Central Jersey Blood Center to raise awareness of the critical need for blood in a unique way. A special campaign was de­veloped to help reach the goal of collecting 3,000 pints of blood during the month. Each donor filled out a gift tag that was placed on a stuffed teddy bear and 3,000 bears were given to various agen­cies throughout the area - one bear representing one blood donor.

Central Jersey Blood Center is proud to report that we surpassed this goal; our community re­sponded when called upon. We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to the 3,100 blood and platelet donors who donated in January. Not only did their blood donation make a difference in someone’s life but they enabled a teddy bear to find a home with a child with cancer or other illness, a nursing home resident or some­one living temporarily in a shelter. The response from the agencies has been heartwarming - such a small token can truly mean so much.

We are fortunate to belong to a community that cares. We know that we can depend on these car­ing individuals to continue assist­ing us in fulfilling our lifesaving mission each and every month.

Keyport, like many other small communities across the country, is facing the prospect of rapid change. Demographics shift, housing

prices rise and fall with the economy, international events have an impact on our population and the new “affluence” of many Americans make competition for retail “entertainment” strong.

However, unlike many other communities, Keyport is willing to embrace change and constantly strives to remain competitive while retaining its most precious commodity — small town ambiance and warmth. This is due in no small part to the continuing efforts of the borough and the enthusiastic volunteers in the Keyport Chamber of Commerce and the Keyport Partnership Inc., especially the recent efforts on behalf of the latter groups to create a Business Improvement District (BID) in town.

I’ve read with much interest the debate over BID and respect the rights of all in­volved to voice their opinion in open and honest dialogue. I also know enough

about the professionalism of all involved to anticipate a timely consensus of opin­ion on doing what is best for the town and its future. One need look no further than Red Bank to witness the transforming effect of a coordinated, merchant-backed, strategic plan for adapting to the realities of the marketplace.

Keyport is competing for the attention of visitors — shoppers, boaters, sightseers and others. Much like other commodities, Keyport must “romance its brand” and draw on its uniqueness in a strategic, coordinated fashion to attract the visitors needed to keep our businesses strong and our community engaged. The best way to do this is with the creation of a BID and the commitment of all involved to make it work. If we focus on the outcomes — consistently stronger retail traffic, involved citizens and a vital image for Keyport — we can continue to affect change in our borough, not wait for it to affect us.

F lie r s sp re n d m isin lo rm etio n in Holmdel

At a very emotional Holmdel Township Committee meeting March 8, the committee expressed disappointment at those responsible for

two misleading fliers sent to Holmdel res­idents.

One flier was mailed to residents by a group headed by Sam Shramko, Citizens for Informed Land Use. The other flier was stuffed in mailboxes and authored by an unknown person. Attached to it was a petition implying that the Township Com­mittee was not following required proce­dures. The author was unaware that proce­dures are always followed. The truth is - no matter what angry or uninformed com­ments are made - the present Holmdel Township Committee has never acted contrary to township government policy procedure.

Citizens for Informed Land Use is believed to be a group of concerned Holmdel residents acting in the best inter­est of the township by keeping citizens well-informed about the development of Holmdel properties. This is where the danger lies.

It is crucial for residents to remember two important things when seeking infor­mation on township policy. First, no indi­vidual or member of any group is account­able for their own actions. As experienced at the meeting, they can say whatever they want, confuse the public, have their own interest at heart and not be accountable. This is why non-elected officials are not authorized to set township policy. This is why township policy should not be put to public vote.

Second, Holmdel has five elected offi­cials who are accountable. It is the five elected officials of Holmdel’s Township Committee who are authorized to set town­ship policy. This allows for efficient gov­ernment because each committee member has the ability and responsibility to consider all relevant and reliable data, inform the public, consider public suggestions and concerns, examine all underlying details, consider short- and long-term effects on Holmdel’s qualify of life and act in the best interest of the entire township.

L eagu e o f Women V o te rs s e e k input on land u se

The Monmouth County League of Women Voters will hold a roundtable dis­cussion of “Critical Land Use Challenges in Monmouth County” on April 14 from 7:30-9:30 p.m. at Brookdale Community College in Lincroft. In preparation for the event, the league is surveying municipali­ties and county agencies to note a range of opinion on certain questions. Although each municipality is unique, the league is looking for patterns of concern so the panelists can effectively address the issues.

Responses from the public to the fol­lowing questions are requested:

• what are the major impediments to sound land use planning;

• who has the most influence in land use decisions;

• do you think the state plan will bene­fit youf community - if so, how;

• is your community concerned about its drinlang water quality;

• do you think there is enough commu­nication between municipalities on plan­ning issues;

• what is your community’s major traf­fic problem; and

• what planning goals and procedures does your community have in place to protect your watersheds, wetlands, wood­lands and open space.

Responses should be addressed to: Monmouth County League of Women Voters, P.O. Box 7649, Shrewsbury, NJ 07702. Indicate the municipality to better correlate the information.

Panelists will help citizens understand how zoning can have unintended local and regional consequences for drinking water, traffic, schools, sewers, open space and taxes. The discussion will also exam­ine how residents can more effectively participate in the decision-making process.

Early registration is suggested; seating will be limited. To register, call (732) 224-2880 and register for “Course XGENL003.”

Poison P reven tio n W eek s la te d fo r n ext w e e k

For information on how to poison proof a home, call the New Jersey Poison Information and Education System at I-8OO-POISON-I.

A TASTE OF PHYS ED. — A recent Family Fun Night at Middle Road School in Hazlet featured a sampling of activities students enjoy in their physical education classes that ranged from rope climbing to bean bag throwing to jumping rope. Parents were warned that if something appeared too strenuous, they should just watch their child and save themselves for the juggling room.

$ 1 .5 M In funds to go to w a rd public housing

Sometime in the spring nearly $1.5 million in new funds will become avail­able for housing programs administered by the Monmouth County Public Housing Agency.

The new Mainstream Program will subsidize rent and social services for 100 disabled people with $730,604. The certified HUD Housing Counseling Program receives $20,000 to support staff costs.

This service provides landlord and tenant counseling, mortgage default and rental eviction intervention services, pre­purchase mortgage counseling and reverse equity mortgage counseling to county residents.

The Family Self-Sufficiency Program - offering Section 8 tenants the opportu­nity to enhance job skills, secure employ­ment, access services and build an escrow account toward tuition or home owner­ship - has received $45,000 to support social work staff costs.

Macular degeneration may occur in two formsIn recent years, patients have devel­

oped a much greater awareness of age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), a retinal disease that has caused

visual loss or legal blindness in more than 10 million Americans. The macula is a small area inside the back of the eye in the exact center of the retina. It is from this area that we are able to distinguish the finest details of vision due to the high concentration of cells called cones, that also enable us to see in color. As we grow older, changes may take place in the macula that cause central vision to become blurred or distorted, although peripheral vision remains intact. This condition has become known as age- related macular degeneration, and may eventually result in central blind spots, loss of color vision, and loss of the abili­ty to read, distinguish fine details and drive safely.

Although the actual cause of ARMD has not been determined, studies have identified a number of risk factors. These include gender (females have a higher rate of ARMD), light iris color, exposure to sunlight, smoking, elevated total cho­lesterol, hypertension, and alcohol con­sumption. There is a tendency for macu­lar degeneration to run in some families, although its genetic pattern is not under­stood.

Macular degeneration may occur in two different forms. At present, there is no way of treating the more common atrophic or “dry” form, which causes a gradual loss of vision due to thinning of the macular tissues. This form usually does not cause complete loss of central vision. The “wet” type of macular degen­eration, often called exudative macular degeneration, occurs when abnormal blood vessels that have formed in the back of the eye leak serum or blood that causes the layers of the retina to separate. The loss of central vision from this type of macular degeneration may be sudden, rapid and severe. In its early stages, “wet” macular degeneration may be controlled with laser treatments, which destroy abnormal blood vessels and repair weak areas of the macula. Although this treat­ment will not restore vision that has already been lost, it can slow the rate of degeneration.

Diagnosing macular degenerationA simple test, viewing a grid-like pat­

tern, will detect early macular changes.

VISION CHECK — A doctor a t Millennium Eye Care, Freehold, tests a patient’s eyesight.

When looking at the white dot in the cen­ter of the grid, lines in the surrounding area may appear broken, missing, wavy, or distorted. Color vision may also be affected. Abnormal blood vessels and fluid leakage in the macular area can be detected with fluorescein angiography, a technique in which a fluorescent dye is injected into the arm and photographs are taken of the eye as the dye circulates through the macular blood vessels.

Preventing macular degenerationPatients often ask, “What steps can I

take to prevent macular degeneration?” or “Can I keep my vision from becoming worse?” Perhaps the single most impor­tant step that people can take is limiting exposure to sunlight by wearing sun­glasses or a hat to filter blue light and reduce the potential damage from free radicals that are induced by light. Some researchers and physicians feel that a class of chemicals known as antioxidants may help to protect the macula and reduce the damaging effects of free radi­cals.

Antioxidants occur in nutrients found in dark green leafy vegetables, such as spinach, kale and collard greens. These compounds, lutein and zeuxanthin, are carried through the bloodstream and

deposited in high concentration in the macular region of the retina. Smoking may inhibit the action of antioxidants and prevent them from reaching the macula. Specially-formulated nutritional supple­ments that contain antioxidants such as Vitamins C and E, the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, the minerals selenium and zinc, which help enzymes in the eye to neutralize free radicals, are currently being recommended by many eye spe­cialists, especially for those whose pre­ferred diet may not include the fruits and vegetables that contain these substances. Studies are under way to determine how much protection is afforded by the rec­ommended foods and nutritional supple­ments and whether there is any risk of adverse side effects.

living with macular degeneration Although medical treatment of macu­

lar degeneration is limited to patients with early stages of the “wet” form, there are many optical devices and support ser­vices available that can help motivated patients continue many of their daily activities. “Low vision aids” include spe­cial glasses, hand and stand magnifiers, large-print editions of books, magazines, and newspapers, closed-circuit television, specially designed lamps and telescopic

devices. Books on tape are available from local libraries, and the Lighthouse catalog lists watches, clocks, and many household devices that will help patients with macular degeneration maintain a useful lifestyle. Macular degeneration will leave a patient partially sighted, but not blind, and peripheral vision will be unaf­fected.

A look to the futureCurrent research is focusing on ways

to both prevent ARMD and to restore vision in those whose sight has already been affected. Photodynamic therapy is a procedure that directs a low intensity laser on a light-sensitive dye in the abnormal macular blood vessels of the macula, triggering a chemical reaction that destroys the abnormal vessels. Other studies are aimed at transplanting retinal cells or using the drug thalidomide, which blocks vessel development, to prevent the growth of abnormal blood vessels in wet ARMD. Macular transloca­tion, a highly experimental surgical pro­cedure that allows the eye to transmit images to the brain from the macula by moving it away from the underlying dis­eased area, has achieved some success in limited trials. Researchers are focusing on new technologies, such as the develop­ment of new stains and dyes for studying eye tissue, advances in microscopes, and greater insight into the functions and abnormalities of the human eye through immunological and molecular tech­niques.

As advances in medicine extend our life span, more people will develop symptoms of ARMD. At the present time, early implementation of steps to prevent or reduce the risk of macular degenera­tion, including proper diet, nutritional supplements, protection against sunlight, maintenance of normal blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and avoidance of tobacco products are proactive measures that everyone can adopt. Comprehensive eye examinations in a practice with a reti­nal subspecialist will identify problems and establish a course of prevention or treatment for patients who are concerned about developing or have already been diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration.

Routine self-exams can detect oral cancerBy Dr. Brian Krost

Oral cancer will be diagnosed in an estimated 30,000 Americans this year and will cause approx­imately 8,000 deaths. But with early

detection and timely treatment, deaths from oral cancer can be dramatically reduced.

Early detection of oral cancer is often possible. Tissue changes in the mouth that might signal the beginnings of cancer often can be seen and felt easily. Each of us must be aware of the possible signs and symptoms of oral cancer and should report any changes prompdy to our family dentist or oral surgeon. Performing a self-examination regularly will help in early recognition.

Monthly routineOral surgeons suggest that everyone

do an oral cancer self-exam monthly. If you are at high risk for oral cancer. — smoker, drinker, user of smokeless tobacco —. you should also schedule an annual exam with your oral surgeon.

Warning signsTwo changes in ' the mouth that

could be warning signs of oral cancer are white patches or reddish patches. Other possible signs or symptoms of oral cancer include a lump or thicken­ing in the oral soft tissues, soreness or a feeling that something is caught in the throat, difficulty chewing , or swallow­ing, ear pain, difficulty moving the jaw or tongue, numbness of the tongue or other areas of the mouth, or swelling of the jaw that causes dentures to fit poor­ly or become uncomfortable.

Any of these warning signs that per­sist for more than two weeks should be evaluated by your oral surgeon. A thor­ough clinical examination and laborato­ry test as necessary should be per­formed.

If a biopsy is recommendedIf a sign or symptom is identified

your oral surgeon may suggest a biop­sy. This simple procedure is most fre­quently done right- in the office. It involves the removal of a small piece of the suspicious tissue. The piece is then sent to a laboratory for microscopic examination in order to make an accu­rate diagnosis of the problem. The biopsy report not only helps in estab­

lishing a diagnosis, but also enables the doctor to make a treatment plan specif­ically designed for the type of cancer diagnosed.

Your simple self-examTo complete an oral self-examina­

tion, you will need a bright light and mirror.

• Remove any dentures.• Look at and fed the inside of your

lips, top and bottom,• tilt your head back to look at and

feel the roof of your mouth,• pull your cheek out to see the

inside and also to see the back gums,• put out your tongue, looking at all

the surfaces including each side and the floor of the mouth,

• feel for lumps or enlarged lymph nodes (glands) in both sides of the neck and under the lower jaw

Risk factorsA number of factors may contribute

to the development of oral cancer. These include: tobacco and excessive use of alcohol.

Those at a specially high risk of con­tracting oral cancer are males over 40 years of age who are combination heavy drinkers and smokers, or users of smokeless tobacco. The heat generated by smoking pipe and cigars can also irritate the mouth and lead to lip can­cer.

The sun — Frequent, unprotected exposure to sunlight has been identi­fied as a risk factor for lip cancer.

Aging — Oral cancer is typically a disease of older people usually because of their longer exposure to risk factors. Incidence of oral cancer rises steadily with age, reaching a peak in persons aged 65-74.

Each of us should make the oral self-exam a regular feature of our per­sonal health routine. Many oral lesions are benign and your doctor will use topical treatment and oral rinses to treat these. But don’t ignore any suspicious lumps or sores. Early detection of pre- cancerous and malignant lesions is the key to full recovery.

Dr. Brian Krost is a board-certified oral surgeon and partner at the Center for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery with offices in Freehold, Hazlet and Ocean

' Township.

Women are facing a “silent epi­demic.” Heart disease and stroke kill more than 500,000 women in the United States every year

— more than all forms of cancer, chron­ic lung disease, pneumonia, diabetes, accidents and AIDS combined. Yet a myth persists that women have some innate protection against heart attacks. Every year since 1984, more women than men have died from cardiovascular dis­eases. Yet a myth persists that heart dis­ease is a man’s problem.

According to a 1997 national survey of women, commissioned by the American Heart Association, although nearly twice as many women die from cardiovascular disease than from all forms of cancer, including breast cancer, only 8 percent of U.S. women consider heart disease and stroke as their greatest health threats. That women of all ages and ethnic backgrounds don’t fear heart disease and stroke in the same way that they fear cancer is a major public health problem, because it means that they may not be doing everything they can to pre­vent cardiovascular disease. The American Heart Association survey also indicated that 91 percent of women would be comfortable discussing disease prevention and treatment options with their doctors, but only 30 percent recalled their doctors discussing heart disease and stroke in the past 12 months.

It is time for women to “Take Charge!” of their lives by taking charge of their cardiovascular health. Nearly 16,000 New Jersey women will die this year from heart disease and stroke. Coronary heart disease is the No. 1 killer of American women. Stroke is the No. 3 killer of American women and the leading cause of serious, long-term disability.

“Take Charge!” means that we as women need to learn about risk factors and warning signs of heart disease and stroke, and we need to take action to eliminate all controllable or changeable risk factors from our lives. Controllable risk factors include smoking, high blood cholesterol, high blood pressure, physi­cal inactivity, obesity and diabetes melli- tus. Now, more than ever, women must take responsibility for their own and their families’ health care. Women need to begin talking with their health care providers about heart disease and stroke and their personal risk factors.

conceptions and alarming findings from the national survey, last year the American Heart Association launched a multi-year, national, women’s heart dis­ease and stroke campaign called “Take Wellness to Heart.” Take Wellness to Heart is designed to improve women’s awareness about the true extent of their risk of heart disease and stroke, and to increase awareness among health care professionals and the public about women, heart disease and stroke and the unique signs and signals for women.

For decades cardiovascular research, diagnosis and prevention focused on men. Fortunately that is changing. Typically in this country, health care for women has been fragmented, with many women using their gynecologist as their primary doctor and others using a gener­al practitioner. Many women receive rou­tine gynecological care, which often

includes a breast exam, but rarely, if ever, does the cardiovascular system get the same level of attention. Women must “Take Charge!” They must be assertive. And being assertive means a woman needs to ask her health care provider about her risk for heart disease and stroke and what she can do to lower that risk. If gynecologists would include assessments of heart disease and stroke risk as part of their routine examinations, it would be an enormous boost to public health.

The magnitude of this “silent epidem­ic” in women necessitates a strong emphasis on awareness, prevention and patient adherence to treatment recom­mendations. Such recommendations are likely to include an emphasis on low fat, low cholesterol diets, increased physical activity, smoking cessation, weight reduc­tion and treatment of high blood pres­

sure. Women must “Take Charge!” of their lives and be aware of their personal risk factors, and the warning signs and signals of heart attack and stroke. With an aging baby-boomer population it’s more impor­tant than ever that patients, health care providers, health maintenance organiza­tions and pharmacies become partners in the prevention of cardiovascular disease and in the management of cardiovascular health. This type of collaborative approach can only help reduce hospital­izations and improve recovery from ill­ness.

For the fourth consecutive year, Monmouth Medical Center’s com­prehensive breast center in Long Brancc has been commended by feder­

al regulators for being in total compli­ance with stringent guidelines that monitor the performance quality of mammography.

The Jacqueline M. Wilentz Comprehensive Breast Center, which opened on the medical center campus in January 1994, recently passed the annual Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspection without a single vio­lation — a success accomplished by less than 20 percent of the more than2,000 facilities in the country inspected by the FDA.

In order to ensure that tumors are not missed due to poor mammography film quality, the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) mandates annu­al inspection of any facilities perform­ing mammograms. Inspections began in 1995 under the auspices of the FDA.

“The federal government thought it would be prudent to create a system with minimum standards for facilities that perform mammography,” says Thomas Piccoli, medical physicist at Monmouth Medical Center, an affiliate of the Saint Barnabas Health Care System. “Mammography is such a sensi­tive diagnostic procedure, and the FDA felt that, potentially, a lot of women were going to be misdiagnosed due to mammograms not being performed according to uniformly high standards. And as a result of MQSA, many facilities simply stopped performing mammogra­phy because they knew they could not comply with the new standards.”

There are four possible outcomes of an MQSA inspection. A facility with no observed deviations receives a “no find­ings” ratings, while a facility cited with deviations receives ratings ranging from Level 1 — reserved for the most serious noncompliance issues — to Level 3 —

representing minor deviations from MQSA standards.

Under MQSA, no mammography facility may operate unless it is accred­ited and certified as meeting federal quality standards. The two-day MQSA inspection examines the areas under the auspices of three different profes­sionals responsible for mammography — the medical physicist, interpreting physician and quality control technolo­gist.

Monmouth’s breast center includes a comprehensive mammography service, certified by the American College of Radiology, offering routine screening mammography for women without symptoms and diagnostic mammogra­phy for those with symptoms. Six certi­fied mammographers are members of the breast center staff and are available at all times to conduct mammograms, and two fellowship-trained radiologists read the results at the time of the exam­ination. The medical physicist is responsible for the calibration of the mammography units.

The first of its kind in Monmouth and Ocean counties, the 7,000- square-foot comprehensive breast cen­ter, which was named among the top 10 breast cancer centers in the country by Self, a national women’s magazine, joins together in one location preven­tive, diagnostic, treatment and rehabili­tative services in a comfortable and supportive environment.

In New Jersey, an estimated 6,200 women were diagnosed with breast cancer in 1998, and the disease claimed the lives of some 1,500 New Jersey women last year, according to the American Cancer Society. The U.S. Public Health Service believes that widespread screening of women at the appropriate age, followed by prompt treatment when cancerous tumors are found, can reduce breast cancer deaths by as much as 30 percent.

Jail Industry program unveiledFREEHOLD — At a press conference

held earlier this month at the Monmouth County Correctional Institution, Sheriff Joseph W. Oxley unveiled the county’s first Jail Industry program.

Through a partnership between the New Jersey Department of Corrections and the county correctional institution, the Jail Industry program was created to produce a variety of textiles and hard goods for the state using county inmate labor.

To help meet the demand for products, the New Jersey Department of Corrections, through its Bureau of State Use Industries (DEPTCOR), contracted with Monmouth County to manufacture such items as aprons, boxer shorts, laundry bags, highway brushes and toilet brushes.

In the inaugural stages of the program, inmates at the county institution will pro­duce boxer shorts, highway brushes and toi­let brushes.

Through this cooperative effort, the county institution established an in-house production facility, while DEPTCOR pro­vided all of the necessary training, equip­ment, supplies, and raw materials, to manu­facture the products in accordance with state specifications and quality standards. The finished products are inventoried and shipped to DEPTCOR, which, in turn, pays Monmouth County on a monthly basis for each item produced.

Corrections Officer Anthony Kowalski has been assigned to serve as the project manager and oversees production. To help ensure the effectiveness and success of the program, Kowalski underwent two weeks of training in production shop management, sewing machine operation, record keeping, shipping, packaging and garment assembly.

Presently, there are 13 inmates who meet the proper classification standards and

have demonstrated an aptitude for textile production enrolled in the program.

The Jail Industry is the highest-paying job at the county correctional institution. Inmates can work up to five days a week, earning 28 cents an hour. In addition to earning an honest wage, work opportunities such as Jail Industry can foster a sense of self-worth in inmates and provide them with skills that can be used after incarcera­tion.

With minimal start-up costs, the pro­gram literally pays for itself. Money paid by DEPTCOR for finished goods are used to help defray the costs of the project manager and the inmates.

“By sharing services and forming part­nerships, programs such as the Jail Industry yield a positive impact on virtually every level,” said Gary Hilton, director of the Monmouth County Correctional Institution.

“From running a cost-effective program to developing work skills, it is an integral component of the rehabilitation process. Through productive outlets, inmates take a pride in the work they do and perhaps more importantly, in themselves,” Hilton noted.

Monmouth is the third county in the state to implement a Jail Industry program. Presently, Sussex and Camden counties are both operating successful and viable Jail Industry programs in conjunction with DEPTCOR.

Oxley lauded the program as an invalu­able asset to the rehabilitative process for the county’s 1,300 inmates.

“The industry program is truly a win­ning proposition for all involved. The state receives a cost-effective work force to help meet the demand for products and the inmates develop work skills and self-esteem that will help them return as productive members of society,” the sheriff explained.

County planning events to mark the millenniumThe Monmouth County Board of

Freeholders has created a 15-mem­ber committee to come up with appropriate and exciting events to observe

the closing of the 20th century this year.Heading the Millennium Celebration

Committee' is Freeholder Ted Narozanick, a resident of Freehold Borough.

From preliminary brainstorming ses­sions, members of the committee have agreed on some ideas to celebrate the mo­mentous occasion. For example, the com­mittee decided to hold a contest among county employees to create a slogan for the millennium celebration, from which a theme and a seal will be developed for use throughout the celebration.

Banners will be erected on county build­ings and a millennium web page will be designed for the freeholders’ web site.

“The new millennium actually begins on Jan. 1, 2001,” Narozanick said. “Yet we know many people will be celebrating on the first day of the year 2000. We do not want to appear ignorant of the true start of the next millennium, yet we do want to give expression to the desires of the public to mark the special arrival of the year 2000, which is the last year of the 20th century.”

Among the events being considered for the celebration are a time capsule, dinner dances, concerts, essay and poster contests, music festivals and antique auto shows.

“We are also looking at a project in which we’ll take some of our older citizens and create an archive of oral histories about what Monmouth County was like when they were growing up in the earlier part of this

century,” Narozanick said. “We may also have prominent historians give a series of lectures and workshops, along with bus tours of Monmouth County.”

Concerts may feature music from spe­cific decades, Narozanick said.

“We are looking forward to a year of numerous events that will, in some in­stances, take us back to our glorious past and, in other instances, cause us to look ahead with great expectations.”

Members of the special committee in­clude Sheriff Joseph W. Oxley; Claire French, county clerk; Romeo Cascaes, county director of public information; Dr. Peter Burnham, president of Brookdale Community College, Lincroft; Leo J. Carling, county superintendent of buildings and grounds; Theodore J. Giannechini, county engineer; Dr. Brian McAndrew, superintendent of the Monmouth County Vocational School District.

Also, Michael Maddaluna, county superintendent of schools; William Morrisey, executive director of the Monmouth County Historical Commission; Henry R. Nicholson, county director of transportation; Louis Paparozzi, director of the county Department of Human Services; Kenneth Sheinbaum, director of the Monmouth County Library System; James J. Truncer, director of the Monmouth County Park System; Mark Acker, county director of finance; and Elaine Valentino, director of planning and resource develop­ment for the Department of Human Services.

Capt. Wood of Keyport, who recently lost his v esse l, the schooner Mary Freeland, has returned hom e. The Freeland started from Elizabethport on February 1st with a load of 3,000 barrels of cement, bound for Mobile. The mate was Jon Broander of Keansburg and the crew consisted of five men. The vessel ran into a hurricane off Cape Hatteras. Storm succeeded storm and the vessel became a wreck. She sprang a leak and the men had to work day and night to keep her from sinking.

For four days they had nothing to drink, the water tanks running dry or get­ting filled with salt water. The vessel was gradually sinking in spite of the efforts of the men. On the thirteenth day after being struck by the gale a vessel came in sight, and though she was signaled she did not see the wreck. The next day another ves­sel was sighted and this boat answered the signals and the men were taken off.

The steamboat Albertina will be put

on the route between Red Bank and New York next Wednesday. For some time past the steamboat company has been dredging the channel, and by next Wednesday it will be in condition for the boat to run. The boat will be commanded by Capt. Lawrence Price and Harvey Little will be the messenger. Excursion tickets to New York and return will be fifty cents, the same as last year.

The roads in Monmouth county this spring are the worst they have been for years. From all parts of the county comes the same story of deep and sticky mud, through which it is impossible for a team to pull a heavy load. Part of this unsatis­factory state of affairs is due to the weath­er this spring, but the foundation of the bad roads lies in the method of road mak­ing as generally practiced.

When clay and gravel are put on the roads in the fall its mixture does not have a chance to become worked down and packed before freezing weather sets in, and consequently the worst places in the roads in the spring are those where the most work was done the fall before.

A big meeting of the Ku Klux Klan was held in the Baptist Church at Middletown Village Friday night. The church was filled to overflowing. In ad­dition to the Klan it is said that a number o f invited guests were present. These invited guests were asked to leave before the meeting ended and it is said after they left a number of candidates for member­ship were initiated. Some one put a lot of tacks on the state highway near the church and a lot o f automobile tires were punc­tured.

Holmdel township residents who arewell acquainted with farming conditions there say that the potato acreage the com­ing season will not be more than three- fourths as large as it was last year. The reason for the big decrease is due to three bad seasons with potatoes. An increase is expected in the acreage of corn, wheat, asparagus and vineyards.

The taxpayers of Monmouth county will pay $845,839.09 more taxes than they did last year. The amount to be raised by taxation is $6,273,723.43. Matawan bor­ough has the biggest increase, jumping from $39.13 per $1,000 of assessed valua­tion to $57.20. Matawan also has the high­est tax rate in the county.

H olm d el tow n sh ip resid en ts andinterested persons from the Middletown village area met Monday night at Holmdel township hall, Crawford’s Corner, to protest the proposed establishment of a barracks to house Puerto Rican farm workers. The Farmers and Gardeners

association, which consists of members from Holmdel, Hazlet, Matawan and other county municipalities, has purchased nine acres of land from Mrs. H.F. Crawford on which housing facilities are expected to be built. The land is south of the Jacob B. Rue property on he H azlet-O gd en ’s Corner Rd., H olm del Tow nship. The property is about a mile north of Annie Ogden’s Comer.

The residents are protesting on the grounds that the barracks would reduce the value of their properties and such an establishment would not be desirable in a residential and real estate area. The citi­zens state that the Puerto Rican workers will be flown in next month and will be housed in the barracks. They w ill be assigned to farmers in the area and paid about 50 cents an hour for their work According to Mr. Rue, there is no zoning ordinance in the township to prevent the erection of the barracks.

The Monmouth county Federation of Holy Name societies, which met Sunday night at St. A gnes hall, A tlantic Highlands, unanimously selected Red Bank for the annual Holy Name parade and rally to be held Sunday, Oct. 9.

P h o t o g r a p h s h e l p m a k e g a r d e n s a r e a l i t yBy The Associated Press

G reat gardens are not created by slap-dash visits to local nurseries when the new spring plants arrive.

Though temptation is strong when you are faced with countless rows of blooming flowers and fascinating new plant varieties, resist the desire whenever you can. A little advance planning will prevent costly mis­takes and save you a lot of trouble in the long run.

First, get some large-size sheets of

graph paper, at least 11 by 17 inches. One- iquarter or one-eighth soile is the most convenient. Locate the plat of your house lot, most likely filed with your mortgage papers. Plot out the size of your lot and place the house on it, including the loca­tion of doors and windows.

Next, draw in all other major structures and landscape elements, such as existing paths, decks, garages, patios and walls. Place major trees and shrubs on the plan, and draw a light circle to delineate the canopy of the trees.

Then decide how you want to use your yard. Ask yourself if you want a play area for your children; a laige lawn area for games or running; a patio for entertaining; a dog run; a utility space for potting plants or for a storage shed; a vegetable or herb garden; a garden for cut flowers.

Take a good look at the surrounding views. Do you want to screen out the neighboring house, a noisy road or an ugly commercial building next door, or would you rather borrow the adjacent view of a park, a golf course or your neighbor’s

lovely trees and shrubs?Look out your windows or sit on your

deck and decide what you want to see: a blooming tree or shrub, a sculpture, or the chain link fence that surrounds your yard?

Consider the location of the exits and entrances between the house and the yard. Patios, as well as herb gardens, are most useful when they are located near the kitchen or dining areas.

On your graph paper, pencil in large “bubbles” — in the shape of circles, ovals, rectangles, whatever — to define where you want the patio, the garden areas, the paths, the lawn, the shrub and flower bor­ders.

A good way to visualize the basic gar­den design is to take some photographs of your house, preferably in winter when the leaves are off the trees. Enlarge the pic­tures on a photocopy machine. Tape the pictures together, if necessary, to get a complete view of your front or back yard. Tape the photocopies to a table and lay tracing paper over them. Pencil in the out­line of your house, major landscape ele­ments, trees and shrubs. Estimate where the new garden areas will be and pencil them in.

Once you have this basic view, you can add trees and shrubs and flower beds and see what your yard will look like.

Keep in mind some basic ideas that landscape designers often use when plan­ning gardens for new clients: The lawn should have a definite shape, whether a circle, a square, a rectangle or an oval. Flower and shrub beds should never be peppered around a lawn. Locate the lawn, the patio and other major landscape ele­ments first, then decide where shrubs, trees and flowers should be. Think about creating garden “rooms” defined by hedges or walls.

If you want to screen out views, will a fence do the job, or is a solid row of ever­greens required5 Take note of the sun’s path and mark shady and sunny areas on your graph paper. Write in any significant changes in elevation and areas that are particularly wet or dry.

Once you’ve completed this inventory, you can begin selecting plants and refining the shapes of your major yard elements.

If you have your heart set on azaleas, lilacs or a southern magnolia, for example, be sure you know the plant’s cultural requirements and its ultimate size.

Azaleas need acidic soil and shade. If you put them in full sun, they’re very sus­ceptible to disease and insect damage. Lilacs need full sun for good blooms and prefer a neutral, well-drained soil.

Southern magnolias are stunning trees, but some of them attain a height of 50 feet and a spread of 30 feet or more. Don’t plant them 10 feet away from the house, and remember that they are messy trees. Although they are lovely evergreens and have beautiful, sweet-scented flowers, they drop large leaves throughout the year, have surface roots that suck up mois­ture from surrounding areas, and produce masses of laige cone-like seed heads that drop to the ground in late fall. This tree belongs at the back or the side of your yard where cleanup will be easy.

Once you’ve decided which plants you want, go back to your graph paper and plot in new trees and shrubs at their approximate size. Then pencil in the new look on your tracing paper photograph.

Gardens always change with time, but a good basic plan that is well thought out will serve you well over the years and save you many landscaping headaches.

“After all, you have to live with it — not the decorator, w hose purpose is to offer suggestions and samples, to advise and measure, and w ho has a talent to coor­dinate the flow o f a room,” she said. “Never be pressured into selecting pat­terns, colors, textures, and styles that are trendy if you truly hate the trend. Traditional rooms can be updated with­out changing the basic feel o f the room— for those w ho are wary of going with a look that clashes with their con­servative tastes. New fabrics on accent pieces such as pillows, valances and even headboards can liven up a room with little cost — and the room still maintains the traditional feel which is pleasing to the client w ho occupies the living space.”

In new homes, people are tempted to decorate all the room at once and get it over with. Stave advises those clients to resist the urge. Instead, she suggests doing one room at a time and living with it for a while. You may decide a different look for another room would be more pleasing than having a running theme going throughout the entire house, and many times what is the right look for one room is totally wrong for another.

Decorating the house to everyone’s satisfaction d oesn ’t mean sitting motionless inside those perfect rooms and gazing at everything with adora­tion.

“No w ay,” says Stave. “It’s all meant to be lived in and used to the fullest. We do things, that, in the past, our mothers would have frowned on. We humans tend to track dirt indoors and sneak food and drinks into the living room w hen watching our favorite tele­vision shows. Our pets, no matter how well trained, will probably have an acci­dent on the rug or the furniture. Life isn’t confined to the kitchen anymore. This is how w e really live.”

In response to our all-too-human natures, the Staves have added a new phase to their interior design business— Sew Clean, which is family owned and operated. The Staves dry-clean drapes, swags, balloon valances, and cornices, as well as pleated and fabric shades, without removing them from the w indow and without shrinking, fad­ing, sizing, and loss o f flame retardants. Sew Clean also safely dry-cleans diffi­cult upholstery such as bleeders, Haitian cottons, silks, moires, velvet and antique satin. Even lampshades, oriental carpets, and floor mats can be , cleaned safely by this method. In addi­tion Sew Clean also offers spray appli­cations o f soil guards, flame retardants and deodorants — for the m essy human in all o f us.

S pring is the perfect season to redecorate your home. Light, airy fabrics, plenty of sunlight, and

open, uncluttered spaces bring that carefree, outdoor feeling indoors to enjoy year-round. If you have been considering banishing the dreary winter feel from your living space, interior designer Stephanie Stave, w ho together with husband Bob owns and operates Sew & Sew Custom Home Furnishings in Marlboro, knows exactly what you’re looking for.

“There’s a more casual atmosphere inside the home today. Rooms are liv­able and used in ways other than what they w ere originally intended for,” explains Stephanie Stave. “Traditional dining rooms are now multi-purpose for many hom eowners, and living rooms are actually lived in, rather than kept formal and untouchable in order to impress company.”

The talented interior designer has a great eye for color, fabrics, and space.Her practical approach to creating rooms meant to be both used and admired has brought clients back time after time for updating, suggestions, and brand new looks. Clever use o f fab­rics, as w ell as w indow treatments that becom e a focal point in the room, can completely change the feel o f the living space — without fuss and, better still, without breaking the bank.

“To many, decorating means expen­sive fabrics and elaborate plans. It shouldn’t. A decorator has to work with clients in both taste and budget, and should offer a variety o f options to choose from in every price range.Costly fabrics can be used with simple ones and incorporated in a beautiful, yet economical design scheme. If a dec- MATCHING COLORS — Sew & Sew Custom Home Furnishings w ill matchorator com es into your home with only pa in t to the fa b ric o fy o u r choice.

a few samples that are all basically the same price range — especially an extremely high price range, you’d better call another decorator — fast,” suggests Stave.

The biggest change in decorating today is color. For years, earth tones and muted colors were preferred and dominated most homes, but brilliant, vibrant colors have made a comeback. Bright greens, Day-Glo, and neon are all the rage, and used as splashes of invigorating color to accent an other­wise bland room, they can be uplifting and very trendy. Traditional is also very much alive and well, however, with eye-catching cornices, plush drapes, elaborate valances and sedate fabrics that are both beautiful and comfortable.

She advises clients to go with designs and fabrics that they feel com­fortable with, rather than allowing the decorator to make all the decisions.

I t’s spring — time to liven up the liv­ing room. Maybe all it needs is a paint job and a few new pillows tossed on

the sofa. Maybe not.Decorating for yourself can be exciting

— shopping, putting together all the dif­ferent elements, creating a beautiful room made possible by your efforts. It can be daunting too.

Should you first pick out the carpeting then the fabrics, or is it better to select the wall color and then choose the flooring? In a sweat yet? Don’t be. What you need is a plan that will help you organize your ideas and get you started.

First ch oose the basic style This is the most important decision

because it will influence everything that goes into a room. But don’t think that if you’ve chosen the traditional look your room has to look like a museum. Offset the formality with a contemporary piece somewhere in the room, perhaps a black ultra suede ottoman. If casual countiy is your style, dress it up with a Louis XIV style chair covered in a quilted polished cotton. The most successful rooms are mixes of different styles and periods.

Then prepare a floor plan A floor plan will allow you to see if the

sofa you want is properly scaled for the size of the room, if you’ve selected too many small pieces of furniture or too many large pieces. Art supply stores and home centers make floor planning easy with kits that come with templates and cut-outs you can move around on a grid

till you get the layout you want.Let the sofa fabric te ll the color

sch em e storySay you’ve chosen a floral tapestry for

the sofa on a blue/gray background with flowers that shade from a soft pink to a mauve and from pale yellow to a golden tone. The leaves are seafoam green.

A mauve tone-on-tone stripe or geo­metric in mostly mauve with a blue accent would do nicely on a pair of chairs in the room. Use raspberry (an eye-catching extension of the mauve in the sofa) as your accent color.

C hoose a floor coveringBlue would be my choice for wall to

wall carpeting — a darker blue than the tone of the sofa fabric. Contrast, shading and a blending of colors are more inter­esting than matching one color to anoth­er. If you like the Old World look of an area rug, consider a subtle pattern in mauve and green on a medium blue background.

D on’t forget the w alls and ceilingWhat about color for the walls and

ceiling in this mostly blue and mauve, raspberry accented theme? Paint them a nice soft white, right? Wrong.

To take this room from pretty to POW you want to color the walls and ceiling. Color warms, color finishes, color is the most effective way of getting a lot for a lit­tle of your decorating dollar. So paint the walls a light blue/gray, and for the ceiling, a pale mauve that will cast a cheery glow over the whole room.

ROCK GARDEN — Decorative stones are great accessory pieces fo r any garden o r pond. These and others are available at Brock Farms, Freehold.

Jerry Wolkowitz/Greater Media

By K im berly OldsCorrespondent

O ne of the joys of owning a home is picking out not only what goes in it, but what goes

around the house as well. The land­scaping o f a house can be a great way for homeowners to get creative in the presentation o f their hom es. With spring around the corner, Brock Farms, Freehold, can help people decorate both the interior and exterior of their homes.

Brock Farms is in the business of satisfying customers’ home decoration needs. After 50 years in the business, it is quite evident Brock Farms does indeed satisfy their customers. Brock Farms is a fam ily-owned business headed by Edward Brock Sr., his wife Jean and their two children, Linda Arcoleo, and her husband Robert and Edward Brock Jr. Edward Jr. manages the Colts Neck location while Linda works alongside her mother and father at the Freehold store. Linda took a few moments to praise longtime store man­ager Ben Castronova: “He is a big con­tributing factor to the business. He has wonderful displays and ideas.”

At the Freehold location, customers will find an overwhelming variety of plants to pick for their gardening needs located in the 10,000-square-foot green­house. This enormous greenhouse is hom e to many annuals and vegetable

plants. The nursery has more than one mile of paved walkways so customers can imagine the wide variety o f choic­es. Along with the annuals and veg­etable plants, there are tropical plants, perennials and other favorites for your gardening pleasure. “Brock Farms has thousands of trees, shrubs and plants to choose from,” Arcoleo said.

Brock Farms is also known for its water gardens which consist o f fish ponds in every size, water plants, lin­ers, sculptures and cement fountains. The Freehold location has a large and beautiful gift shop that continues to set Brock Farms apart from their competi­tion. Offering a wide variety of prices, the gift shop gives customers a decorat­

ing assortment such as Boyd’s Bears, AnnaLee dolls, Snowbabies, Depart­ment 56 collectible houses and porce­lain figurines and trinket gifts. “We have things from as low as $2.99 to a hand painted chest for $2,500,” Arcoleo said.

Brock Farms highlights seasons of the year with great creativity and vari­ety. For example, their biggest seasons are spring and winter. Brock Farms welcom es spring and the celebration of Easter with a full stock of silk and fresh flowers and silk potted plants to name a few. The farm will officially kick off the spring season March 20 and 21. During the winter, staff prepare to give customers an astonishing array of Christmas trees. If you can’t find the Christmas tree o f your dreams at Brock Farms, chances are it doesn’t exist. The farm is ready for the holiday season by Nov. 15. Staff and management prepare six weeks in advance for every season change and are continually replenish­ing their stock.

Brock Farms has it all for your out­side and inside home decorating needs for any season. Whether you’re looking for a specific plant, a pretty silk flower arrangement or a gift of a Boyd’s Bear, you can find it at the farm.

KITCHENS FROM THE ORDINARY... TO THE EXTRAORDINARY!

M atawan resident Deena T. Chamofsky is a professional organizer providing organizing

service to individuals and businesses.“My company, Find It All Professional

Organizers, is based on the premise that many people who are disorganized and clutter-laden can’t locate various items from keys to important documents. This generally leads to increased stress and an out-of-control feeling. By providing one on one, confidential assistance to individ­uals and businesses, stress is alleviated and productivity increased as a result of being able to locate these items quickly,” she says.

There are many reasons for not being organized. Here are a few:

• procrastination• stress• feeling overwhelmed• frustration• lack of time• build-up of mental clutter which can

lead to physical clutter• poor time managementH om e office designsMany people are now working from

home, converting the extra bedroom into an office. Planning a customized room tailored to suit the needs of both the busi­ness and the home is important. Here are a few ideas to consider:

• Who will be using the office?• Does the office double as a guest

room?• Place primary equipment such as

the computer, printer, fax and scanner near your desk, making sure the lighting surrounding the area is adequate.

• Files frequendy used can be placed in a cabinet within the desk or near the desk.

• Place the telephone on the desk or within easy reach.

Efficient use o f closets and storage spaces

Neat surroundings and effectively uti­lized cabinets and closets can create greater space. The closet that housed clothing can now accommodate books and office supplies as well. Here are some guidelines to think about:

• Create areas to accommodate chil­dren as well as adults.

• Place appropriate items within clos­ets based upon the room location and purpose. Don’t mix kitchen items with things that belong in the garage.

• Is the whole closet being used including the area above the clothing? Place bins or shelves to ceiling height to maximize this space.

• Create greater closet storage by putting hooks or shelves on the inside of the door.

Tim e m anagem ent techniquesDemands on our time are greater than

ever before as a result of increased mobility and blended family responsibili­ty, for example. Here are some ways to make good use of available time:

• Group small tasks together and do them simultaneously. For example, send a fax, run a print job, make copies and confirm an appointment all at once. (This assumes that the same machine isn’t needed for each of these projects.)

• Do the thing you least want to first — adopt a do it now attitude in order- to reduce the mental clutter.

• Work backward when planning

CLUTTER — Deena T. Chamofsky helps clients organize th e ir offices and homes w ith her F ind I t A ll Professional Organizers business.

appointments, estimating how long each task will take.

• Anticipate scenarios and plan ahead. Ask yourself, ‘if I do this what will be the result?’

• Break tasks into small pieces and do a little at a time until the task is complet­ed.

File and desk organizingTechnology such as the fax and easy

access to marketing lists via the Internet has added a paper and junk mail flow. It’s harder than ever to stay on top of the sit­uation. Here are ideas to focus on:

• Do you use the same files in the office and at home? Do you need to cre­ate a portable system?

• What are the main topics and sub­categories for your files?

• Color code your files based upon these main groupings and sub-groupings.

• Use a blotter to define the work­space directly within arm’s reach.

• Keep often used supplies on the desktop and put others in the drawer.

• Use a drawer tray with compart­ments to store other desk supplies that are used infrequendy.

Clutter controlMental and physical clutter are the

result of living in the past or the future rather than the present. We save memo­rabilia to excess and worry that we might need a particular item in the future. We are afraid to throw anything away. Here are some questions to ask yourself:

• Do I need this piece of clothing?• When did I use it last?• What condition is it in?• Can the information be easily

replaced or retrieved?• Is the item/information outdated?• Keep a garbage pail handy when

opening the mail and throw out junk mail after opening.

• Sort and categorize the mail using colored file folders to differentiate the cat­egories.

Y ou can have the feeling of being in a fresh, new home without the expense o f buying a new

house — simply update your home with the latest trends in tiling. Tiles have come a long way; they’re not just plain squares anymore. Customized tile pat­terns can becom e the focal point of your room, with dramatic effects. In order to achieve the best look for your home and lifestyle, talk to Vito Mancini, owner of Tiles Unlimited (formerly Ceramics All Over) of Matawan.

“We carry the largest selection of tiles in the area,” said Mancini. “We have over 5,000 different samples in stock plus catalogs with even more choices.”

This is no “same old, same old” tiling store. At Tiles Unlimited you’ll find everything from old world stone look porcelain tiling to high gloss marbles in every shade of the spectrum. But what sets this place even further apart from others is the in-house creativity. Known for creating designs “ahead of their time,” Mancini and his staff will always go the extra mile for their clients, giving them a finished product unlike any other.

Take a look through the endless possibilities you probably never even knew existed in the world of custom

tiling. Mancini will show you pictures of stunning designs, such as a 6-foot by 6-foot marble mural created for the back wall o f a bathtub. The mural is com posed of precision-cut inlays of dif­ferent shades of marble, put together to produce the image of a palm tree set against the ocean, setting sun and beach. Another truly remarkable sam­ple is o f multicolored mosaic inlays pat­terned and fitted together to look like an Oriental carpet, complete with fringe — all done with tiles. These rich eye-catchers have to be seen to be fully appreciated.

Mancini created a beautiful fluid look for one client when he built a kitchen table from the same tiles as he used to cover the floor. The result was very unique and quite breathtaking. Countertops as well as vanities can also be made using matching or coordinated tiles.

Accent pieces for walls and floors can even replace hanging pictures, or just bring a burst of life to an otherwise dull area. Tumbled marble can be inset with many varieties of alternately col­ored images, such as deer, butterflies, birds, or a host of others. Back splashes for any room can liven up a small area, and inserts of embossed deco, natural or painted, are wonderful for added interest.

tions today is distressed porcelain, which is actually stronger than granite. Attractive when used on floors or walls, these pieces give the impression of old world craftsmanship, and can be coor­dinated with other accent pieces, such as porcelain chair rails. Tiling that cov­ers the entire floor and sweeps up the wall to a chair rail, around a fireplace, or surrounding built-in bookcases gives a room a larger appearance.

A variety of earth tone shades such as bone, almond, and neutral appear to be the preferred color choices for today, although Mancini carries all col­ors, including bolder designer tones which are perfect for certain homes. High gloss marble is also making a comeback.

“People really have to go with what they like rather than to just follow the

current trend,” Mancini said.Tile maintenance is minimal; an

occasional damp mop is generally all that is necessary because tiles do not absorb dirt, oil, or other stains. Also, tiles create less dust than carpeting, which is beneficial with certain health concerns such as asthma or allergies, as well as not adding dust to furniture.

Mancini takes a personal interest in his clients and is present on many of his jobs, all of which are done by his own staff. The quality of their work as well as their professionalism is well docu­mented by the many letters of thanks and appreciation he has received from his clients.

Tiles Unlimited is located in Pinecrest Plaza at 1016 Route 34, Matawan. For further information, call (732) 566-3886.

Y ou’ve got mulch! No, the Internet will not deliver mulch like it deliv­ers e-mail, but it delivers much

more in the horticultural field. Novice gardeners and expert horticulturists alike can answer your general questions and your most arcane inquiries with a simple connection to the Internet.

Thousands of gardening sites are up and running on the net, and they just keep growing and growing.

From your desktop, you can take a virtual tour of Monet’s garden at Givemy, France (http://www.giverny.org/gar- dens), order seeds from Burpee (http://www.burpee.com), see the latest plant introductions developed by experts at the National Arboretum in Washington, D.C. (http://www.ars-grin.gov/na), or find out what’s ailing your lawn (http://www.yardcare.com).

A good place to start is the Garden Gate (http://garden-gate.prairienet.org), a non-commercial site created by Karen Fletcher in 1994. Fletcher describes her­self as an information junkie with a long­term interest in gardening whose goal, she explains, is to “organize information and make it easy for people to find what they’re looking for.”

From this one site alone, gardeners can find out where to go to get almost any information they need. Fletcher’s “Teaching Garden” contains a compre­hensive guide to Internet gardening sites, lists cooperative extension services by state, is linked to scores of plant-specific databases, and includes useful glossaries of botanical names and horticultural terms.

Visit the Garden Gate “Reading Room” to find on-line magazines, books, and catalogs. The “Sun Room” is probably the most extensive list on the web of sites that deal with houseplants.

Fletcher also tells you how to join on­line gardening forums and e-mail groups, provides links to gardening associations and societies, and lists public and private gardens around the world that are worth a visit.

Time-Life’s Virtual Garden (http://www.vg.com) is another general site that contains a plant encyclopedia with beautiful photographs that is search­able by plant name or attribute. The site also has an on-line version of the popu­lar book, Gardening By Mail, by Barbara Barton, and under its Gardener’s World index, there’s a link to the very useful Dig the Net feature, a searchable database that rates Internet horticultural sites.

Garden Net (http://gardennet.com), is the oldest commercially oriented garden site on the Internet. This is where gar­deners can find links to seed companies, mail-order nurseries, companies that sell garden tools and accoutrements, and much more.

The site was started by Cheryl Trine in February, 1995, to give consumers access to the commercial garden industry as well as horticultural information. Trine says Garden Net is basically “a gateway to other sites.” According to Trine, Garden Net is not really competing with anyone

else. “I think of the Internet as an open table,” she says. “The more sites there are, the better it is for all of us.”

At Garden Net, you can order catalogs on-line, find reviews of garden books and informative descriptions of gardening articles that have appeared in magazines. There’s also a garden question-and- answer section and links to almost any gardening company or subject you may imagine.

Other good general gardening sites include the Garden Web (http://www.gardenweb.com) which lists hundreds of on-line discussion groups to join, including forums in Spanish, French, German, Italian and Swedish. Garden.com (http://www.garden.com) features on-line chats with garden celebrities and experts and a free on-line tool to design your garden. At Gardening at The Mining Co. (http://miningco.com), you can visit the orchid lady, post a ques­tion on a gardening bulletin board, find out how to build a cold frame, a bog gar­den, or design a window box.

For the serious gardener, Ohio State University’s Gardening Fact sheet Database (http://www.hcs.Ohio-state.edu), listed under its “Webgarden,” contains thousands of horticultural fact sheets from academic institutions and cooperative extension offices around the country. The site has a searchable data­base of more than three thousand plant, disease and insect images.

Helsinki University’s Internet Directory for Botany (http://www.helsin- ki.fi/kmus/botmenu.html) is an excellent resource for botanists and serious garden enthusiasts. It is linked to more than 4,000 other sites, including arboreta, botanical gardens, and international botanical organizations. The directory also contains plant images, resource guides, a database on threatened plants worldwide, scientific journals and on-line discussion groups.

As a garden designer and plant enthusiast, I have many of my own favorite sites. At the Brooklyn Botanic Garden (http://www.bbg.org), you can take a tour of the garden, complete with maps and lovely garden photographs, join a project to inventory plant biodi­versity in the tri-state area of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, find out how to design bird and butterfly gar­dens, and try to win a prize by identify­ing the mystery plant.

The New York Botanical Garden (http://www.nybg.org) has monthly planting tips, a plant information service that answers gardening questions via e­mail, serious botanical monographs available on-line, as well as on-line access to the vast catalog in the garden’s library.

Harvard University maintains a web site on the flora of China (http://w w w .herbaria. harvard. edu/china) with links to other sites on China.

Whatever your garden interest, whatever your garden problem, there’s no need to search through garden books that don’t have the information you want. Simply sign on to the Internet and do a little digging around, and you’ll get the kind of garden results you want.

Author highlights New Jersey gardens

W hen you devote your life to researching beautiful desti­nations in New Jersey, you

hear a lo t o f jokes. Arline Zatz, author o f a new book on the gardens o f the Garden State, discovered that some­times a strong offense is the best defense. “Tell them something they don ’t know — it stops them dead in their tracks,” says Zatz.

For example, Zatz likes to tell folks about the Pequest Butterfly Garden in Warren County. This lit t le gem o f a gar­den is planted w ith butterfly-friendly flowers and plants, and also features a visitors center w ith hands-on exhibits. Admission is free; the garden offers ample opportunities fo r photographing blooms and butterflies from late spring through late fall. Pequest and more than 100 other gardens are carefully described in Zatz’s new book: New Jersey’s Great Gardens: A Four-Season Guide to 125 Public Gardens, Parks, and Arboretums ($17.00, The Countryman Press).

The author o f four books on out­door recreation in New Jersey, Zatz is an authority on things to do and places to go in her home state. Inviting places to spend an hour, an afternoon, or an entire day, the public gardens o f New Jersey are state treasures. Zatz has cho­sen each garden in her book fo r its uniqueness and beauty. For exam­ple,Park

W arinanco Gardens in

Roselle features a dazzling show o f tu lips in spring; Marquand Park in Princeton offers more than 200 d if­ferent species o f trees on its 17 acres.

The book includes hum ­m ingb ird and w ild flo w e r gar­dens, Colonia l herb gardens, A ll- America Rose Selection gardens, pocket-sized rom ­antic gardens, and gardens fo r medi­ta tion — plus places to picnic, listen to the birds, and awaken the senses. Most o f the gardens do not charge admission, several offer inter­p retive walks, exhibits, and guid­ed garden tours; and many are open to enjoy year-round.

QualityWhen asked w hich is her favorite

garden to take fe llow New Jersey resi­dents to, Zatz cites Grounds For Sculpture in Hamilton. Here, on the form er grounds o f the New Jersey State Fair, 22 acres o f gardens and courtyards are home to thousands o f trees, flo w ­ers, and ornamental grasses, as well as exquisite outdoor sculptures. You’ll find all this plus a museum featuring a fine collection o f monumental sculp­ture and smaller installations.

For each garden, Zatz offers in for­mation on its history and plantings, as w e ll as details on how to get there, its size, when to visit fo r peak b loom and seasonal events, and much more. Black and w h ite and co lo r photographs depict the splendor and variety o f the gardens (and perhaps show w hy New Jersey is dubbed “The Garden State”); a map o f the state shows the location o f each garden to make trip planning a breeze.

“One o f the w onderfu l things about New Jersey’s gardens is their geograph­ic d istribution,” writes Zatz. “No matter where you are in the state, a great gar­den is w ith in a 30-minute drive, and usually much closer than that.”

This should prove to be a welcome guide fo r garden enthusiasts, as w e ll as fo r anyone looking to stretch their legs in a new place.

T he temperatures may still be a bit chilly, but now is the time to start preparing for those warm days and

balmy nights that are fast approaching. Getting your home ready for spring and summer outdoor entertaining can be easy w ith a visit to Central Jersey Pools...Patio & More, Freehold.

Check out the large selection o f out­door furniture and accessories that can help make your summer parties a smash­ing success. This year’s hottest furniture choices include the sling chair in hunter or sage green, as well as earth tones such as a rich classic copper. The sling’s popu­larity is enhanced by its comfort along w ith ease o f maintenance — a quick rins­ing is all that is needed to keep these chairs looking good.

Vinyl strap chair designs have come a long way over the past years, and are also now in demand, along w ith all weather wicker. Cast aluminum is one o f the most durable furniture sets, and its heavy, durable nature makes it a natural choice for high-wind areas while it adds charac­ter to its surroundings. O f course, tradi­tional cushion chairs are always a safe bet, known well as being the ultimate in com­fort.

But don’t overlook the extras that w ill make your backyard stand out. Furniture that is functional but still adds a little more fun to the time you spend outdoors can

and adults as well. Or bring the comforts o f the indoors outside by adding an attrac­tive outdoor lamp w ith attached table next to a more remotely placed chair.

Bar height dining tables w ith high din­ing sling bar stools are a winning alterna­tive to traditional dining tables. A “must” for that lazy weekend is the stand alone hammock w ith a umbrella for added com­fort from summer heat. Or how about a cushioned swing for daydreaming the hours away?

If a pool is what you’ve always yearned to see in your backyard, now is the time to consider putting one in. Central Jersey offers a good selection o f freeform custom pools, waterfall spas, wading pools, and above-ground pools.

“The big news in pools is that they have become very high tech,” said Steven Metz, vice president o f Central Jersey Pools. “Almost anything that needs to be done can be controlled remotely from inside the house. Water temperature, light­ing, filter, spa, there are even advanced automatic pool cleaners.”

Central Jersey offers pools with vinyl liners that have the look o f tiles, and the

wide selection o f liner patterns covers every taste and style. A wonderful addition to any built-in pool is the buddy seat, an in-pool lounge center complete w ith shade umbrella for daytime comfort and lights for nighttime enjoyment.

If an above-ground pool is more for you, Central Jersey carries many selections including one w ith a 52-inch high wall, which has become very popular. In some towns, pools with a 52-inch wall do not require additional safety fencing for the pool area, but Metz strongly urges cus­tomers to check w ith their particular towns for the final ruling.

For rainy day indoor enjoyment, Central Jersey stocks pool tables and accessories, poker tables, and much more.

Central Jersey Pools has been family owned and operated for more than 40 years. The store is open year round, mak­ing the staff accessible even in the middle o f winter. Whether you’re in the market for dining accessories, outdoor lighting, or a complete outdoor entertainment system, pay a visit to Central Jersey at 4235 Route 9 north in Freehold. For further informa­tion, call (732) 462-5005.

S P R I N G H O ME & G A R D E NA G R E A T E R M E D I A N E W S P A P E R S S P E C I A L S E C T I O N

F i n e p o i n t s o f f i n a n c i n g a

h o m e e x p l a i n e d b y R e a l t o rM any Americans are so busy w ith

the demands o f their careers and families that they are not

able to keep up w ith financial trends, tax law changes and other factors that affect their ability to buy or sell a home, accord­ing to Gerry Scala, manger o f Prudential New Jersey Realty’s Middletown office.

Many buyers don’t realize that they already have the financial means to either buy their first home or trade up to the home they really want. And many sellers don’t appreciate the federal regulations that enable them to assist buyers or relieve their tax burdens.

“One o f the many advantages o f working w ith a licensed real estate pro­fessional is their knowledge o f these important financial considerations,” he explains. “A t Prudential New Jersey Realty, we take pride in keeping our clients informed on these trends.”

First-time buyers often don’t realize that there are many special programs available to help them finance their first purchase. “First-time buyers can be any family who have not owned a home for three years, according to most o f these programs,” Scala points out. “This can also include a divorced person who recently owned a home w ith a former spouse. There are also programs avail­able only to buyers who have an income below a certain level, which is particular­ly helpful to divorced and single buyers.”

Another factor that many people don’t appreciate is the number o f programs that allow 100 percent financing o f a new home. “The conventional wisdom a gen­eration ago about a m inimum down pay­ment o f 20 percent down is very conser­vative by today’s standards,” Scala says. “Prudential New Jersey Realty agents sell homes every week to people w ith much lower down payments or no down pay­ments at all.”

Finding the assets to finance a home purchase is another service that Prudential New Jersey Realty provides. “We have sold a number o f homes to

people who used funds from their 401(k) plans w ith no penalties involved,” Scala explains. “In many cases, knowing about this possibility has helped us put con­tracts together that otherwise would not have happened. We w ork closely w ith our clients to find the best options to meet their own situations. Many people don’t know that sellers can actually assist a purchaser in buying their home. Rather than dropping the price o f the home, it may make financial sense for the seller to pay some points on the buyer’s mort­gage, or, the seller may have an assum­able mortgage w ith an extremely good rate and not realize it. Our real estate pro­fessionals can help home owners explore these options when they are selling their home.

“After people have lived in a home fo r awhile, they begin to th ink about having a larger kitchen, another bath­room or some other improvements,” Scala says. “Some people may be unnecessarily staying in a home that doesn’t suit their needs because they don ’t realize they already have the means to move. In some cases, it ’s bet­ter to sell a home and buy a larger one, rather than to over-improve the one they have.”

He continues, “Real estate is usually a fam ily’s largest single asset, so it makes sense to w ork w ith a profession­al w ho is well-versed on all factors w hich can affect the value o f the assets. Prudential New Jersey Realty’s real estate professionals have a higher level o f education and participate in more continuing education programs than ever before, and w ith good reason. The regulatory demands on us are greater and more exciting than ever. When we can hand the keys o f a house to a new owner, or when we successfully sell the home fo r someone w ho needs to move, it ’s a terrific feeling.”

For a free brochure about financing a new home, call Prudential New Jersey Realty at (732) 671-3500.

m y t h s a b o u t l e a t h e rS o, you’ve decided you want to get in

on the hottest furniture trend — leather, but something is holding

you back. Perhaps you think that leather furniture is impractical, too hard to clean or too fragile for your active household. Besides, nobody can really afford it, right? Wrong. These are all popular myths about leather. The facts may surprise you.

“There are a lot o f misconceptions about leather as an upholstery material,” explains Margi Daniels, ASID, design con­sultant for La-Z-Boy Inc. “The truth is, it is one o f the most practical and beautiful o f all upholstery materials. It is also one of the hottest trends for the home.”

According to Daniels, there are five main myths about leather. They are listed below w ith information that w ill help you separate the facts from the fables.

Myth No. Is leather is m ore delicate than fabric

Leather is twice as strong and lasts three to five times longer than upholstery fabric. Because genuine top-grain leather is the strongest and longest lasting o f all upholstery materials, it’s great for areas o f the home that are used a lot. It also w ill not crack or tear and has the ability to stretch while retaining its shape to assure a long-lasting luxurious appearance.

Myth No. 2s leather is im possib le to clean

Leather is easy to clean and needs lit­tle care during normal use. In most cases, splashes and spills can be blotted away w ith a cloth. I f you’re still concerned, buy leathers treated w ith a protective top coat,

- _ .which a re sotnelimes J£fcrtgd_tp_as treat­

ed or finished leathers. The protective strength o f these treated leathers makes them particularly beneficial for families w ith small children and pets.

Myth No. 3: leather furniture is too exp en sive

While it is true that leather is, in most cases, more expensive than fabric, leather’s longer life span makes it a worth­while investment. Budget-minded shop­pers may want to consider an application known as leather-finesse or leather match. With this application, top-grain leather is used on all visible areas while matching vinyl is used on areas less subject to body and eye contact, such as the sides, back and underneath the cushions.

Myth No. 4s leather d oesn ’t age w ell Leather, unlike synthetics, has a “pati­

na,” a coat that becomes richer w ith use and age. Oils retained in the hide work over the yeais to heal scrapes and scratch­es, blending them naturally into the leather surface. Furthermore, the natural markings on the hide, such as barbed wire nicks, brands, neck wrinkles, or scratches give each individual hide its own personality and actually add value to the furnishings.

Myth No. 5s leather is uncom fort­able

Many people have the misconception that leather is hot and sticky in the sum­mer and cold in the winter. Exacdy the opposite is true. As a natural material, much like skin, leather has a porous sur­face which “breathes” to quickly adjust to both body temperature and varying humidity. Ifs comfortable year-round.

‘Fourth of July’ adds sparkle to gardensT he w orld ’s newest climbing rose,

Fourth o f July has been called the “rose o f the decade” by gardeners

all over the country w ho have tested the plant for the last three years. In every c li­mate, Fourth o f July has proven to be outstanding.

The flowers are velvety red-striped w ith bright white, creating an explosion o f eye-popping color for the landscape. And every bloom is different — some more vibrant red and others w ith broad white stripes. The flower sprays are huge and fragrant, and last for a long time on the plant. Fourth o f July is always in flower, and it blooms and re­blooms readily the very first season.

The plant has sparkling dark green foliage and is vigorous, w ith canes that grow from 10 feet to 14 feet. It is an excellent choice for training horizontally along a fence, or vertically to climb over the top o f an arbor or trellis. When grown w ithout support, the canes w ill arch gracefully to provide a wonderful cascading display.

Hardy in even the coldest climates, Fourth o f July is also very disease-resis­tant. W ith just a handful o f fertilizer now and then, and plenty o f sun and water, this rose w ill reward its grower w ith lots o f garden color all season long.

Fourth o f July is an All-America Rose Selection for 1999- In fact, it ’s the first climber to w in this award in 23 years.

Fourth o f July is new from Weeks Roses and is available now at your favorite nursery or garden center.

S u g g e s t i o n s f o r c h o o s i n g w i n d o w t r e a t m e n t sY ou can take advantage of this

window of opportunity to learn the art of selecting window treat­

ments.• Consider this advice from experts at

Hunter Douglas:• Space: First, look at the window

space itself, then the area surrounding it and, finally, the entire room. To visually expand a window or room, choose soft, light or cool colors. Another hint: Coordinate the window treatments with the wall color because low contrasts keep the eye moving around the room.

• lin e : Vertical lines add height and

dignity to a room, creating a formal atmosphere and drawing the eye upward. Vertical lines can also add height and importance to patio doors and other types of windows. Vertical blinds in one of the many fashionable choices available from Hunter Douglas or Luminette Privacy Sheers — a treatment that com­bines a sheer face fabric and adjustable fabric vanes — are good options here.

Horizontal lines are usually consid­ered less formal. However, certain hori­zontally oriented treatments such as Country Woods w ood blinds and Silhouette window shadings, a unique

combination blind and shade with a sheer look, as well as pleated or Duette honeycomb shades in silk-like fabrics can be quite formal and elegant. Also, using valances and other decorative over treat­ments can add height and formality to any horizontal window covering.

Curved lines on windows have a soft­ening effect. Treatments with curves include swags, tapered valances, and bal­loon shades.

• Form: Window fashions may also be used to alter and improve existing window shapes. For example, consider­ing rectangles are generally more attrac­

tive than squares, a treatment can be installed outside the window opening and above any molding to lengthen the look.

• Color: This is the most important element when it comes to setting a mood. It is also what drives many decorating decisions. A good rule of thumb when combining colors in a room is to let the primary color be featured in up to 75 per­cent of the room, your secondary color about 15 to 20 percent, and your third color about 10 percent . The primary color is usually in the floor and/or wall cover­ings since they take up the most area.

JACKIE POLLACKSHOT SPOT — Holmdel High School’s Adam Fleischner looks fo r a shot.

Klatsky is game’s MVP after 27-point effort

BY TIM MORRIS________S t a f f W r i t e r

W hen Tom Stead looked over H olm del’s schedule, which included the Nike Prep Classic

in California and games against state pow­ers St. A nthony’s, St. P atrick’s and Snyder, he knew his Hornets were going to be tested.

“I knew it was going to be one long, grueling adventure,” he pointed out. “We wanted to take things one day at a time.

“We broke things down in stages. First, we wanted to win our division and play well in the Shore Conference Tournament. Then would come the state tournament, where we wanted to play our best,” he said.

The goal was to return to Atlantic City, site o f the N ew Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association over­all Group II championships to defend their title. There were bumps on the road to the title due to that demanding schedule, but Sunday night, Stead’s Hornets were back defending it against the team they beat in ’98, North Jersey, Section I champion Mendham. It was there the Hornets put all they had learned to good use as they held up under the pressure of a second-half rally by the Minutemen to repeat as Group II champions, 55-51.

“We learned how to handle pressure down the stretch,” said Stead. “Having been there before, we know what it takes to get through it.”

What it takes m ost is making foul shots, and no one is better under the gun than senior point guard Dave Klatsky. When the Hornets needed the big play or the crucial free throw, Klatsky made it. The game’s Most Valuable Player poured in a game-high 27 points, including a per­fect 10-10 from the foul line in the fourth quarter. His free throw shooting kept Mendham at bay and enabled the Hornets to hold on to their championship.

“This was an unbelievable feat,” said Stead. “There’s a lot o f pressure to repeat and people get spoiled a little bit by your success. It was harder the second time around.”

Knowing the value of free throw shoot­ing in big games, the Hornets spend extra time after practice on it.

“Our foul shooting has gotten us here,” Stead pointed out. “The kids play a game with coach (Tom) Pushie in which they have to make 15 in a row before they can leave. It’s a great way of improving your concentration and that is what free throw shooting is. Especially at the end of the game.”

And, no one on Holmdel’s team does it better than Klatsky.

“Dave has basically carried us,” ex­plained Stead. “We have a lot of role play­ers and he’s the one who puts us on a dif­

ferent level. H e’s averaged 21 points, seven rebounds and seven assists a game in the tournament. That’s a lot from a 5-10 guard.”

H olm del began Sunday’s Group II final like a team on a m ission , stunning Mendham with a 20­6 first-quarter lead.

“M endham is a very good team and we knew they were going to be very hungry,” noted Stead. “It was important that we come out of the gate fast and get a lead.

“We stressed that after our Sterling game in the semi-finals when we fell behind by 11 in the first half,” added Stead. “We got out to that big lead early and we didn’t let up. I knew

that Mendham, though, would fight back.” John Donovan led the Hornets’ early

surge with seven of his nine points.Mendham (25-4), wasn’t going to quit,

though, and an 11-9 edge in the second quarter kept them in the game. They only trailed 29-17 at the h alf and a 19-12 third- quarter advan­tage made it a game.

Early in the fourth quarter, the Minutemen got with­in one point, 41-40, before Klatsky was fou led on a three- point shot and made all three free throws.

It would be that way the rest of the period with Klatsky’s pressure shooting holding off Mendham’s charge. Klatsky scored 12 of the Hornets’ 14 fourth-period points.

Holmdel is now 22-7 on the season, but more importantly, 21-3 after their 1-4 start in December.

“Our only losses since then have been to St. Patrick’s, St. A nthony’s and Christian Brothers Academy,” said Stead. “At one time they were the number two, three and four teams in the state.

“I think our loss to Red Bank Catholic early in the season made us focus on our first goal, the C South D iv is io n ,” he added. “That loss taught us that you can’t overlooked anyone, and it kept us focused.”

Away from the Shore Conference, Stead pointed to two games that helped make the Holmdel season.

“When we went to St. Anthony’s and played well there, we used that as our measuring stick,” he pointed out. “When we held our own there, it proved we can play with anybody. Our big win against Snyder at our house was important. It avenged a loss to them last year and it put us above .500 at the time and that got us going.”

The last four years have been great for the Hornets: four division titles, two state sectional and two state Group II titles. In that span they have captured the hearts of Holmdel residents and the community has really supported the team.

“The town has rallied behind u s,” noted Stead. “They’ve given us incredible support everywhere w e’ve gone. A lot made it through the snow to support us in Atlantic City.

“The team got a great deal of satisfac­tion winning this one for all the people who have supported us,” he added,

Holmdel will begin play in the NJSI- AA Tournament of Champions Thursday night at the Dunn Sports Center in Elizabeth. The Hornets were seeded fourth and will play the No. 5 seed, Group III champion Parsippany, at 6 p.m.

The winner w ill play at Rutgers University on Sunday in the TOC semi-fi­nals against No. 1 seed Seton Hall Prep.

“When you look at this year’s field, the traditional powers aren’t there,” said Stead. “In the past, that created mismatch­es. I don’t see that this year.

“I know that Parsippany is a very good team,” added the Hornets coach. “W e’re going after this game believing we can win it.”

It was K latsky who sparked the Hornets to its second straight Central Jersey Group II crown earlier in the week when he pumped in 25 points in the 63-48 win over Asbury Park. Klatsky, who had four treys, hit for six points in the first quarter when Holmdel stung the Bishops in the first quarter, jumping out to a 17-7 lead.

Donovan and Adam Fleischner each netted nine for the Hornets, who made it to the title game from the No. 4 seed. Maybe that bodes well for Holmdel this week in the TOC.

i n P a r o c h i a l A f i n a lLancers race to 27-5 lead

and never look back in state Parochial title game

B Y W A R R E N R A P P L E Y E A ______

S t a f f W r i t e r

T hey’re back. Again. The St. John Vianney High School girls basket­ball team is returning to the state

Tournament of Champions (TOC) for the third straight year and the ninth time in 10 seasons. -

Expectations are always high at the tra­dition-filled Holmdel school. Prior to the start o f the cam paign, coach Brad Hagensen said, “Our goal every year is to get back to the TOC.”

And the Lancers, 26-2, appear to be on top o f their game. Vianney earned its TOC berth (and No. 1 tournament seed) by beating Immaculate Heart Academy (IH A) o f W estw ood in the NJSIA A Parochial A championship game Saturday at the Dunn Center in Elizabeth.

With that victory, Vianney chalked up its third successive Parochial A title. The Lady Lancers also won the crown five times from 1990-94, and captured the Parochial B championship in 1995.

“Our defense has been the key for us right from the start of the season, and the girls seem to be able to turn it up higher when they need to,” Hagensen said. “This team has a great work eth ic, th ey’re always working to improve, and it’s been paying off. As a result, they’ve formed their own identity as a team that will come right after you.”

The determined Lancers took control from the start. After the opening tap it went score, press, steal; score press, steal and score some more. Within three min­utes, V ianney had created seven

turnovers, built a 10-0 lead, held their opponent without a shot and, in the pro­cess, shattered Immaculate Heart’s con­fidence.

When the Blue Eagles from Bergen County finally did get shots, they missed nine straight before finally tickling the twine.

By the end of the first quarter the score was 27-5, Lancers.

Despite the big lead, Vianney showed no sign o f letting the W ashington Township squad off the ropes. At the half, the Lancers were up 53-21, and on their way to a 78-38 win.

Senior co-captains Regan Apo and Sandi Haefner, the heart and soul of the team, paced the attack. Apo led the way with 15 points, including seven from the charity stripe, while Haefner added 13 points. Apo was named the game’s Most Valuable Player.

“I ’m very proud of the way Regan (Apo) and Sandi (Haefner) have stepped up and taken on the responsibility as the leaders o f this team ,” Hagensen said. “They’ve done the job on the floor and in the locker room.”

Junior guard Vanessa Putnoky came up big as w ell, hitting for 15 points. Guards Nina Vecchio and Tami Coyle, who scored four and five points, respec­tively, were outstanding on the press, cre­ating several turnovers and forcing bad passes.

V ecch io was a key player in the L ancers’ 59-38 win over G loucester Catholic in the NJSIAA South Jersey Parochial A title game on March 9. The junior point guard scored 16 points, in­cluding a pair of three-pointers, to lead the way. Apo contributed 13 points and Tami Coyle canned two important three-point­ers.

Brookdale softball team beglos seasoo as No. 1BY TIM MORRISS t a f f W r i t e r

T he Brookdale Community College softball team will begin the 1999 season at the very top.

Coach Bo Scannapieco’s Jersey Blues have turned into a national force in recent years and Brookdale will begin the 1999 season as the No. 1-ranked Division III junior college softball team in the country.

Fortunately, the Jersey Blues have experienced the pressure of being No. 1 before. Last season the squad made Brookdale history when they became the first athletic team to be ranked No. 1 in the country.

The 1998 season saw the Jersey Blues go 42-5 and finish second at the Junior College Division III World Series. Along the way they won a school record 28 con­secutive games, shared the Garden State Athletic Conference championship and won the Region XIX tournament.

Scannapieco, who has taken Brookdale to the World Series in each of the last three seasons, knows that it’s not where you be­gin the season, but where you finish that counts.

“It’s a building process,” he said. “You don’t start the season where you ended it. You have to work to get there. I think the kids realize that and they’re looking for­ward to getting started.”

There is good reason for BCC’s lofty ranking — the Jersey Blues have seven returning starters, including first team All- American pitcher Lauren Larson, a Raritan High School graduate.

Larson was the Most Valuable Player in the Region XIX Tournament that sent Brookdale to the Junior College World Series. She went 18-2 with a 1.46 ERA. She tossed four shutouts and authored a no­hitter against Bergen. In addition to her 18 wins, she had two saves.

Also returning to the rotation is Carol Hilton, who went 10-3 with a 3.98 ERA.

Brookdale must find a pitcher to replace Sandi Davis in the rotation and that won’t be easy. She was 12-0 with a 2.95 ERA and three shutouts last spring.

In freshman Janine Leone o f Old Bridge, Scannapieco thinks he may have found his third starter.

Scannapieco is a strong believer in pitching depth and that depth is a big rea­son why the Jersey Blues had made it to the World Series for three straight years and finished third in ’97 and second last year. Scannapieco doesn’t bum pitchers out by relying on one ace to carry the team. He spreads the starting assignments around. Larson started 24 games last year, Davis, 21 and Hilton, 18. Scannapieco does not designate an ace of the staff.

“My feeling is that the pitcher who is going that day is No. 1,” he said.

Larson isn’t the only first team All- American returning to the Lincroft campus. Shortstop Maryanne Soares is back and with her comes one of the country’s most productive offensive players. Soares made the All-Tournament Team at the World Series. As for her overall season, she was nothing short of brilliant. She batted .559 (third best in the country) and led the na­tion in runs scored (72), hits (90), triples (17), home runs (12) and RBI (73).

Kelly Fairclough, a St. John Vianney High School graduate, is back at second base and with her comes her .354 average. She made the W orld Series A ll­Tournament Team which speaks for her

ability to play under pressure.A lso returning are catcher K elly

Honecker, Stephanie Leonard and Krysti Tice. Honecker, who made the All-Region XIX Team, batted .308 and drove in 32 runs. Leonard, who provides speed at the top of the lineup, scored 47 runs and stole 28 bases while batting .287. Tice batted .325, hit three home runs and drove in 30 runs. Tice won a game in relief last year and can come on to pitch in an emergency situation.

Howell’s Andrea Heil and Marlboro’s Rebekah Dillon were cornerstones of the Jersey Blues in 1997 and ’98. Both have gone on to play Division I softball and will be hard to replace. Heil batted .443 with 38 RBI and 56 runs scored, while Dillon hit .447, drove in 48 runs and scored 53 times. Vicki Trowbridge and her .457 average and 46 RBI also graduated.

Newcomers who will replacing those veterans include a pair of Central Regional stars, Toni Penniman and Becky Barrett; Howell’s Angela Colfer; W all’s Christy Szeigis and Red Bank’s Marianne Reevy.

Penniman, a third baseman, hit .450 for the Golden Eagles. Barrett batted .421, but may be more valuable as a centerfielder. Scannapieco said that Barrett is as good defensively as any centerfielder Brookdale has had.

Colfer hit .403 for the Rebels with power. Her versatility (she can play catcher or outfield) as well as her production will get her into the lineup.

Szeigis is a candidate for designated hit­ter — she hit .344 at Wall — and Reevy, who is another speedster, hit .328 at Red Bank. She plays first base.

“We have a lot to replace with the loss of Vicky, Andrea and Rebekah,” explained Scannapieco. “This year’s team should be more athletic. We’re a little quicker and I expect that if we have to manufacture runs we’ll have the ability to do that.”

Brookdale embarks on a very ambitious 55-gam e schedule that w ill begin in Maryland on Friday with a doubleheader against C atonsville. On Saturday and Sunday the Jersey Blues will participate in the Del-Tech Tournament.

“Our first five games are very difficult,” Scannapieco said. “We are playing very good teams and could drop some games there. The No. 1 ranking isn’t important. These games will be tough, but it will show us where we’re at.”

Brookdale will open its home season on March 25, hosting Mercer at 3:30 p.m. in a doubleheader.

The regular season w ill continue through May 6. On April 10-11, Brookdale will host its own softball tournament.

The Region XIX Tournament will start on May 8-9 with first round games at the home o f the higher seed. If the Jersey Blues are to get to the nationals for a fourth straight year, they may have an edge in the Region finals because Brookdale will be hosting the tournament finals on May 13 and May 15.

The nationals will be at Anne Arundel Community College in Arnold, Md., May 20-22.

With the season just two days away, Scannapieco likes his team’s prospects.

“I expect us to be better at manufactur­ing runs this year,” he said. “We may not have the power we had, but we have fences now and that may help. Defensively, I like our team. I think we can win games with our defense this year. I think our pitching can be where it was last year.”

Colts fall to Seton Hall Prep 3-0 in season-ending hockey playoffB Y S E A N S I M M O N S

S t a f f W r i t e r

MORRIS — Brady Crooks scored two goals to lead top-seeded Seton Hall Prep’s ice hockey team past fourth-seeded Christian Brothers Academy of Lincroft in the NJSIAA Parochial School semifinals at the William G. Mennen Sports Arena Friday.

The Colts finished the season with a record of 13-10-1.

Seton Hall Prep jumped out to a 1-0 lead on a goal by Crooks 1:25 into the second period. Scott Eberenz then broke away and put the puck past CBA’s Ed Fernandez for a 2-0 lead at 5:39 o f the third period. The Pirates then went up 3-0 on Crooks’ second goal with 18 seconds remaining in the game.

The Pirates outshot the Colts 29-24 and goalkeeper Jeff Skowronski notched his seventh shutout of the season. Fernandez turned back 26 shots for the Colts.

“The second period was mixed,” CBA coach Mike Reynolds said. “They have some good hockey players and they got loose from us. They are a well-disciplined and well-coached team.”

One game earlier, in a March 10 quar­terfinal contest, CBA’s Fred Brown put in the game-winning goal o ff a feed from Ryan Clune to lift the Colts past fifth- seeded St. Joseph’s (Metuchen) by the score of 4-3 at the American Hockey and Ice Skating Center, Wall Township.

“Ryan Clune and I had been moving the puck back and forth all game,” Brown said. “They were giving us lanes all night. Ryan gave the puck to me and I skated in.

“I knew I had a good defender on me and I didn’t think I could get past him, so I wanted to put a shot on goal, thinking maybe we could get a rebound,” said Brown. “I thought I could use their defender as a screen and I was very sur­

prised the shot went in.”Brown got things going for the Colts

early, scoring 42 seconds into the second period off a pass from Brian Bauman to give them a 1-0 lead. Clune then found Matt Clemente for a breakaway goal with 5:54 left in the second stanza to give the Colts a 2-0 lead. St. Joseph’s stormed back with a power play goal by John Fedele off of a double assist by Anthony Invemo and John Feltz with 3:17 left in the second period.

With 12:03 remaining in the third pe­riod, Tom Howard converted on a pass from Fedele to tie the game at 2-2. Then, St. Joseph’s took a 3-2 lead when Craig Black found Invemo for a slap shot from the left wing with 7:28 remaining in the game. Alex Soloway scored on a double assist from Brown and Adam Lepore six­teen seconds later to tie the game at 3-3. “It was just a rebound off one of their skates,” Soloway said. “I just put it back and it’s a great feeling.”

Finally, Brown fired a slap shot past St. Joseph’s goalkeeper Dave Brain with 2:04 left in the game to seal the victory for the Colts.

St. Joseph’s goalkeeper went to the bench with 1:10 remaining to give the team an extra attacker. The Falcons at­tacked CBA goalkeeper Mike Bruce with shots, but the Colts’ defense rose to the occasion, stopping one shot then swarm­ing after the puck as the final seconds ticked away.

The Falcons outshot the Colts 24-21 and Brian stopped 17 shots. Bruce made 21 saves for the Colts.

“This was a great game from a fan’s standpoint,” Reynolds said. “In the first period I thought there were three or four shots we should have followed up, but Mike Bruce did what he had to do to help us win the game.”

T H E M A R K E T P L A C E• Real Estate • Business • Auto • Classified • if Your P resen t M ortgage is

71 /2% Or Higher...

f i l i n g t a x r e t u r n sY ou’ve finished scavenging your home

for lost receipts, revealed what seems like every aspect of your personal life

to a tax adviser who was relentlessly dedicat­ed to uncovering tax deductions, and defended yourself to your family and others for being, well, a little less than organized when it comes to tax records. You think the hard part is over, but you shouldn’t breathe a sign of relief just yet. The New Jersey Society of Certified Public Accountants (NJSCPA) advises that you take six more small steps to make sure you have covered all the bases.

1. Make sure you (and your spouse if you filed jointly) signed the return. An unsigned return is considered not filed, and therefore makes you susceptible to late-filing penalties.

2. Get your tax preparer’s signature. Ifyou pay someone to prepare your return, he or she must sign and include his/her Social Security number on the return. Failure to do so may subject the preparer to a penalty. In addi­tion, he or she may be partially liable for the information on the return. This is especially important if you run into problems down the road.

3. Make sure your return address is cor­rect Whether you’ve moved recently or not, make sure your address, including your ZIP code, is correct. If the IRS assesses you addi­

tional taxes via mail and can’t reach you, you’ll still be financially responsible.

4. Attach all required documents. Be sure that all W2, 1099, and other required forms that verify your income are securely attached to your tax return. Presumably, you’ve already double-checked to make sure that the numbers on these forms are consistent with those on the return.

5. Pay any tax that you owe. If any taxes are due, make your check out to the Internal Revenue Service and put your Social Security number, form number and the tax year on the check. And remember, even if you file for an extension, if you don’t pay your taxes by the original due date, you’ll be hit with penalties and interest charges.

6. Get your return to the IRS on time. This sounds simple, but keep in mind the IRS’s rules. If your return is mailed, it must be postmarked by April 15, 1999, to be consid­ered timely filed. Last-minute filers may use specified services from DHL, Airborne, Federal Express, and UPS, as well as the U.S. Postal Service. A postage meter date is gener­ally not sufficient proof of a timely filing.

For most taxpayers, using the mail is still the best means to get your tax return to the IRS. Some taxpayers with relatively simple returns can file by telephone, but they can only do so at the express invitation of the IRS.

Home buyers now have a too l available to measure and evaluate home inspectors.

The Standard o f Care fo r the Home Inspection Profession has jus t been published by the Home Inspection Institute o f Am erica Inc. In development since 1996, it spells out the ethics required o f an inspector.

A section dealing w ith pre-inspection agreements tells what should be in the written contract the inspector uses. Consumers should on ly use inspectors who provide such an agreement.

Consumers should check and understand the contents o f the contract before they agree to the terms.

There are also sections on evaluating com­ponents, the report and handling deficiencies found during the inspection. Another 20 pages gives advice on what the inspector should inspect. I t also details what the inspector should be looking fo r during the inspection o f each o f the components.

Arm ed w ith this document, the homebuy- er can ask several inspectors detailed, know l­edgeable questions. I t is best to evaluate sev­eral inspectors before selecting one fo r the job. A ll too often, the consumer on ly asks price, which is probably the last question that should be asked i f the customer wants a quality inspection.

The Standard o f Care fo r the Home Inspection Profession is available from the Home Inspection Institute o f America Inc. They can be contacted at 314 M a in St., P.O. Box 4174, Yalesville, CN, 06492, or call (203) 284-2311.

I n t e r n e t d r i v e r ' s l i c e n s e

t a k e s b u y e r s f o r a r u l e

For motorists w ith a bad driv ing record, the lure o f an international driver’s license that cannot be revoked is very tem pting, regardless o f the price tag. According to A A A , web sites on the Internet offering such licenses ask as much as $300 fo r

the $10 item.“A A A is one o f on ly tw o organizations

authorized by the U.S. Department o f State to issue and sell International D riv ing Permits (IDPs) and Inter-American D riv ing Permits (lA D P s) in the U n ited States,” said B il l Hughes, manager o f A A A A u to Travel Operations.

The purpose o f an IDP or an IA D P is to allow those traveling abroad to drive legally, and avoid potential problems arising from lan­guage barriers.

A n ID P includes the inform ation on a U.S. driver’s license in 11 languages and is accept­ed in more than 200 countries outside the U.S. A n IA D P translates that same inform ation into four languages and is accepted in Central and South American countries.

“ In accordance w ith international law, these permits are not recognized in the coun­try in which they are issued,” said Hughes. “ There are many offers fo r purchasing interna­tional driver’s licenses through the Internet, but none o f them are recognized in the U.S. as legal driv ing permits fo r U.S. citizens residing in this country.”

To get around this pesky legality, some companies w il l “ register” the license in a fo r­eign country using a foreign address fo r the user’s home address. What potential buyers should consider is the inevitable traffic stop when a police officer asks to see their license and vehicle registration.

The addresses fo r the license and the vehi­cle registration w ill vary drastically, and ly ing to a law enforcement officer about your resi­dency is a crime.

In order to issue a va lid ID P or IADP, the issuer must see a valid U.S. state o r te rrito r­ia l d river’s license. However, the Internet varieties rare ly ask fo r d river’s license in fo r­m ation o r fo r a copy o f the license.

Other things you should know about the ID P or IA D P are:

• I t costs $10 and is va lid fo r up to one year from the date o f issue.

• I t is a w ide ly recognized fo rm o f photo iden tifica tion and is available at most A A A offices to a ll holders o f a U.S. driver’s license.

• You must be at least 18 and have a va lid U.S. driver’s license to purchase one.

• You need tw o passport-size photos fo r purchasing the permits (these photos are also available at most A A A offices).

• I t must be accompanied at a ll times by a U.S. d river’s license.

CURIOSITY SEEKERS

J im C am iller i QUEST I°N : VSOiy sh°u ld I use the services of a REALTOR when I can buy

all the real estate forms I need at the stationary store and just fill them in myself?

ANSWER: These printed forms are only a starting point. There are dozens o f varieties o f deeds, leases, and mortgage forms. W hich ones are to be chosen to best protect yourself is a good question fo r openers. Then, i t ’s what goes into the blanks, what is crossed out, and what is added that gives you the value, security and protection that you pay the experts for. Believe me, some o f the largest financial losses and legal entangle­ments have resulted from printed forms being incorrectly used.

IT’S WHAT GOES INTO p rin ted fo rm s that g iv e s va lu e a n d protection.

Please ask about: Lower Down payments*Lower Monthly Payments*Other OptionsFor purchase prices up to $283,925, monthly mortgage payments (principal+interest) quoted in our ads are to qualified buyers, based upon a 20% down payment and a conventional 30-year fixed rate loan at 6.25% with 3 points, A.P.R. 6.591%. As an example, a $100,000 loan would mean 360 monthly payments of $615.72.

An example of a $500,000 loan would mean 360 monthly payments of $3,160.34.

You may have heard that buying a Saturn is actually a rather pleasent experience. What you might not know is that leasing a car from us is no different. We’ll carefully explain every agreement, disclosure, item and sub-item. That’s because we want to make sure the lease you sign is right for you. And that includes making sure the terms are right for you. Just in case you’ve forgotten what courtesy, honesty and respect look like, as well.
