Officials from the Somerset Coun­ty Prosecutor’s Office are investigat­ing this week why four men from Kansas City ■ allegedly decided to target.a small jewelry stor,c on Route 27 in Franklin Park for an attempted robbery Tuesday afternoon that left one woman dead.

Authorities announced Wednesday they have one suspect in custody and have identified another, 34-ycar-old Avram David Gottlieb, who they b e lie v e is th e K an sas C ity ring-leader.

Police said they have leads on the identities of the two other young Kansas City men who allegedly posed as delivery men to gain entry to

Woman’s tragic death shocks and mystifies communityBy Ian H. Fennell

N e w s E d ito r

Cleaners tried to scrub the earth-colored blood stains off the carpet. JeWlry cases that had been full a day before with gold neck­laces and diamond rings .sat empty.

And a community attempted to cope with the botched robbery that

left a North Brunswick jeweler dead.

Brenda Wolf, the .32Tycar-old co-owner of Jeffrey Scott Fine Jewelers, was killed at 3 p.m. on Monday by a bullet to the head.

The robbery has left many of those who live or work near the Route 27 jewelry store in a dream-like da/c of disbelief.

Every resident and business owner interviewed said they were shocked at the crime and mystified by police accounts that the suspects traveled all the way from the Kan­sas City area to knock off a small jewelry store in rural Franklin Township.

Chiropractor Leonard Maz/.a, who rents the office next door to

the jewelry store, said he. can't believe “ something like this could happen around here.''

“ I was working on my word . processor when I heard the .shots, but I thought it:;, was someone banging up.stairs,“ he said. “ I still can't Ik IIcvc those were gunshots I heard and that someone got killed. It’s scary.’’

time.Authorities from the prosecutor’s

office and the Franklin Town.ship Police Department flew to Missouri yesterday to work with authorities there and the FBI in identifying and

apprehending Mr, Gottlieb and two other su.spccts, said Somerset County Prosecutor Nicholas Bisscll.

Mr. Bisscll said there is believed to be a fifth suspect, a “ local’' man who did not fly in from Kansas City with,

the other suspects on Monday.Officials would not speculate if the

fifth suspect was from Franklin Park or even New Jersey, but indicated this man may have been the one to pick Jeffrey Scott Fine Jewelers and

to li.st the locations of area police departments for the robbers.

The co-owner of Jeffrey Scott Fine Jewelers, 32-ycar-old Brenda Wolf of North Brunswick, was shot in the head and killed in the attempted

robbery Tuesday at 2:55 p.m.,According to investigators, store

owner Jeffrey Wolf then used his own gun to shoot 31-year-old Marquis Anthony Kennon, the man who killed Mrs. Wolf.

Mr. Kennon was listed in satisfac­tory condition Wednesday afternoon at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital. He was injured in the arm, the leg, the buttocks and the side, though officials did not know exactly how many times he was shot because some of the wounds may have been exit wounds.

Franklin Township Police Lt. Jim Ferguson, the first officer on the scene, followed a trail of blood from the store to a nearby field and arrested Mr. Kennon as he lay bleeding.

Students build towers and practice cooperation

' With only newspapers and mask­ing tape to work with, teams of students from each of South Bruns­wick’s elementary schools worked a g a in s t the c lo ck to b u ild three-dimensional structures.

Three fourth graders from each of South B ru n sw ick ’s eight elementary schools joined Con­stable School Kindergarten teacher Steve LaValva for a few hours last week for a day of mind-bending construction exercises.

The exercises put the.students' problem-solving, mathematical,, and team-working skills to the test. While the exercises at first seemed like a competition, the students learned that the best products come out of .shared ideas.

Mr. LaValva ran the program as part of the school district’s Gifted and Talented program.

T he c h ild re n ch o se n to participate in the exercises arc not necessarily those who cam al 1 A ’ s . but arc students seen as good problem solvers by their teachers, Mr. LaValva said.

“ We also have to provide for the kids with other abilities." he said.

school team was given three .sheets of S'/i-by-11 sheets of paper and 24 inches of masking tape. The students were told to make the: highest self-standing towers that they could.

The three students from Indian

Fields School made a tall, skinny tower by rolling the pieces of paper.

"We rolled up the paper, and overlapped it, so it's strong,” stu­dent Mohak Mhatrc said. “ We taped it so it would stand.”

“ When we saw that it would make it bcucr when wc rolled it up, than just using a cylinder, wc decid^ to do that,** Indian Fields student Teresa Vcicr said.

The first resident to testify against St. Barnabas Episcopal Church's plan to construct a child-care center on its property took the stand last week, and others, including Township Attorney Joseph Benedict, arc expected to do , the same when the zoning board hearing continuc,s on April 6.

But first, traffic experts hired by supporters and objectors of the plan arc expected to submit reports and ofTer testimony about the impact

^renting a new 3,600-square-foot Tbuilding out to the Cooperative Nur- fscry School of Kendall Pork Inc. (Co-op) would have on Sand Hills Road an d ' s u r ro u n d in g

'rtelghbomood*.-Under the. proposal, St. Barnabas

would finance the construction of the nursery school on a 3-acrc lot in a residential zone behind the church on Sand Hills Road.The church then would own the building and lease it to the non-profit Co-op.

A variance is needed from . the towaship Zoning Board of Adjust­ment because the space would be leased to a private school, which is not a permitted use in the zone, officials said.

For the post 2 1 years the parent-run Co-op has called some rooms in the Community Presbyterian Church of the Sand Hills home*, however, its lease is up on June 30 and will not be

renewed because the church is plan­ning to establish its own Christian preschool program there.

Attorney Clifford Kuhn Jr. is representing 13 families on Silver Birch Court, Wilson Lane and Sand Hills Road who oppose the St. Barnabas application because, they say, the building is not permitted under the land-use law and the school will generate dangerous and noisy traffic on the already overburdened Sand Hills Road.

Mr. Benedict, a resident of Silver Birch Court, is among the applica­tion’s opponents. He said most of those’who object to the proposal plan to testify about why they oppose it before the hearing is over.

Joan Vanko of Silver Birch Court, who moved into the towmship in 1987, was the first such lay witness to testify in the now-month-old hearing. She is a former Co-op parent.

‘"When we were shopping around for a house, wc were looking for a long time for a place that was quiet and had a lot of land,” Mrs. Vanko told the board. “ We didn’t sec any problem at the time we came because it was all woods in the back. Yes, we did see the church back there, but there was nothing going on at the church. Attendance was so low we were sure, it was going to close.

TTic 8-tcm hike, which changes the 28 cents per SI00 of assessed value local tax rale to 3b cents, is higher than the originally promised 7-ccnt hike, but less than the 9 cents of­ficials in recent weeks feared would be necessary.

Two public hearings will be held on the budget, at 8 p.m. on Tuesday,

Old school faces sale

By Lauren K. BalerS ta ff W rite r

Faced with an aging school build­ing that may be too expensive to maintain, the South Brunswick school district is looking to sell Kingston. School, now leased to a private company.

Originally called the Kingston Free School, it was built in 1870 and was first used as a kindergarten through second grade school.

The land was donated by a Mr. John Slayback.

The school is located on Academy Street in South Brunswick.

“ We don’t get very, much by renting it,” South Brunswick Board of Education Business Administrator Jeffrey Scott said. “ Wc would be better off by selling it for market value.’*

He said money earned from the sale would go into the school dis­trict’s free appropriations balance, and would be used to pay a construc­tion management firm hired by the school board.

See SALE, Page 20A

However, calling a 9-ccnt hike “ unacceptable" following two con­secutive years of holding the line, committee members Tuesday made last-minute cuts in the amount ol S226.5I4 -— enough to bring the tax increase down one penny to 8 cents.

Under the new S23 million budget with an 8-cent hike, the owner of a home assessed at $150.0(X) will pay $120 more in municipal taxes in 1995, while the owner of a 5250.000 home will pay $200 more.

The committee made the cuts fol-; lowing the rccommcndation.s of Township Administrator Donato Nieinan and Chief Financial Officer Ralph Palmicri.

The committee eliminated two va­cant p<isitions that wcre planncd to be filled in the strectvand roads division of the Public Works Department for a savings of S(iH,4(K), saved $17,000 through early paym ent on the purcha.se of 10 new police cars, saved $60,000 by reducing a 1995 bond sale am ount from $ 8 0 ,0 0 0 to $20.(XX). and cut S4.(KX) from a miscellaneous fund in the Recycling Department.

In addition, $32,000 WO.S cut from the snow removal budget and $5,000 was cu t from a snow rc- movalrovcrtimc budget because of­ficials noted that it is almost spring and the money set aside to deal with

the anticipated significant snowfalls was never needed this winter.

An additional savings of $57,800 was rcalizrd since the state Council on Affordable Housing approved the township’s Affordable Housing spending plan. Under the plan, the salary of the part-time housing officer and a new full-time secretary will be paid for out of a trust fund established from developer contributions.

Mr. Palmieri noted that with the cuts, the committee now has a $15,415 “ cushion’* of spending.

This.mcans they can still add or spend an additional $15,415 under the 1995 budget while keeping the tax hike at 8 cents. . ,,

Mayor Douglas Hoffman said the recently created Citizen’s Budget Task Force will be giving its first report to the committee just prior to the budget hearing on March 21.

In recent wedks the committee had to add $47,000 to the budget to cover anticipated legal fees of the Planning Board, which is currently fighting several lawsuits regarding the lYince- ton Walk development.

Other additions included $50,000 to cover a garbage collection shortfall from lost year, a $15,000 increased appropriation to be .split between the township’s three first aid squads, and $35,600 to hire an engineering in­spector.

Head-on car collision kilis Dayton man

By Frances SexauerS ta ff W rite r

Dori Mcllvaine was making dinner for her family in the kitchen of her South Ridge Hills home Monday night when she heard it.

At first it sounded like a dynamite blast similar to that used during construction, she said. But it was too late in the evenings so she and her husband, Ralph, knew it must be

mething else.Something worse.They ran outside and looked down

the new section of Route 522 that runs in front of their development.

The scene and the scent that greeted them, of two mangled cars

j still smoking and leaking gasoline all over the road, was one that would

keep them from sleeping soundly that night.

A 35-year-old Dayton man was in a head-on collision .with another Day- ton man on the new Route 522 near

liked that,” she continued. ‘Co-op is a great school. My youngest daughter went there. But I don’t think where they .want to put it is a great place.”

Mrs. Vanko testified that when her husband went to put up a fence between their property line and the church’s, St. Barnabas’ pastor, the Rev. Francis Hubbard, would not let him move a big rock because, he said, “ We like evei7 thing in it’s natural state, just the way it is.” .

This statement made the Vankos feel they had nothing to fear from development in their backyards, she said. .

“ So we thought, great, the church is never going to change anything,” said Mrs. Vanko.

The Rev. Hubbard this weelc said he barely remembered that conversa­tion from years ago but that he made no commitments to leave the area as it is.

“ If that’s what I, said, I,w as referring to that specific rock, which would have been an ordeal to dig up.” said the Rev. Hubbard. “ She

made a huge conclusion based on a very specific instance. Yeah, I like nature. I belong to the Sierra Club. But I was not making any kind of a promise to her that we wouldn't change anything.”

The Rev. Hubbard said that the £uea the building would be con­structed on is largely dear, so few trees will have to be displaced. Many more trees were cut down in the once-forested area that now is Silver Birch Court, he said.

Mrs. Vanko said she studied the , township’s land-use law and that,

"according to your zoning book, no public, private or parochial schools are supposed to be in an R-1 zone. Schools au'e allowed in residentiaf zones except for Rural Residential and R-1, which this site is in.”

Co-op attorney Rikki Field said that while it is an ‘'inherently beneficial ” educational use, Co-op is not licensed as a school but as a "child-care center.”

The zoning law also discussUs buf­fering, said Mrs. Vanko. “ They go out of their way to talk about buffers, but there will be no buffer. I can sec

everything that goes on in that park­ing lot from my first-floor window.’’

Mrs. Vanko said her house is about 270 feet from the proposed new building, but her property line is about 14 feet front the parking lot Where parents will drive in and wait to drop off and pick up their children every day.

“ There will be an estimated 1,8 00 trips in and but a week and it will all be in my backyard,” she said.“ My main concern is traffic because I’m going to see all those cars there eve ry day. My main complaint js traffic and lack of privacy — the quality of life in my backyard.”

Mr. Kuhn then called a second real-estate expert to testify that the property value of houses near the proposed bui|ding would decrease due to the proximity of the building. Former township tax assessor Eli Serlenga testified to this effect at the last hearing, on March 2. ,

This time Nicholas DiMeglio, a broker who sells real estate in the township, testified that the $300,000 • to $400,000 houses on Silver Birch would be adversely affected by the

new child-care center.“ When people buy in that price

range, they are buying more than a piece of the township — they are buying a l ife s ty le ,” said Mr. DiMeglio; "People in those; houses bought assuming there Was going to be more privacy and less traffic than in some areas.”

Mr. DiMeglio said there would be a “ significant deterioration” in the value of those homes if the building is constructed because “ of what they are looking out onto — a parking lot with traffic and actiyity as opposed to quiet wopds.”

He testified that eveh if the build ing generated no traffic, it still would impact the value of surrounding properties because “ it’s an eyesore, It’s not a house, it does not fit into the area.” V'

Mr, DiMeglio admitted he never had seen the architectural renderings of the proposed building, which Go-op representatives have testified will be constructed to fit into the re s id e n tia l c h a ra c te r o f the neighborhood. , -

Bard Drive. .Ephraim Kohn, an engineer who

lived on East Garden Way, was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident, which' occurred at 6:07 p;m. Monday.

The driver of the other car, who may face charges in connection’with the accident, was 22-year-old Steven A. Bove of Garfield Court in Dayton.

Mr. Bove, who witnesses say was not wearing his seatbelt and was ejected out of the open T-roof of his 1986 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, Was listed in satisfactory condition Wednesday afternoon at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital.

Police reports said Mr. Bove was driving west on Route 522 near Bard

H r i VC, which is just west of the Ridge Road intersection, when his car crossed the concrete median and drove into the oncoming lanes of Route 522 east.

Mr. Kohn was driving his Acura Integra castbound on Route 522 and did not have time to avoid the head-on collision.

Route 522 was closed,for approx­imately four hours after the accident.

Patrolman Michael Kushwarra of the Police Traffic Safety Bureau said Wednesday he was still interviewing witnesses, but he said that alcohol or drug intoxication did not appear to be a cause of the accident.

Patrolman Kushwarra noted that

the accident was one of eight that occurred throughout the township on Monday, an “ unusually” high number considering the clear weather and road conditions.

Mr. Kohn, who lived alone, was “ an absolutely devoted son and brother — he was really a special person,” said a family friend, speak­ing for Mr. Kotin’s relatives-.

'■ Mr. Kohn’s family lives in New York.

“ We heard it right here, and we’re about 400 feet away,” said Mrs. Mcllvainc Tuesday. “ Tlic doors were closed, 1 was in the kitchen getting dinner, the television was on. I’ll never forget the sound.”

When the Mcllvaincs went out to look after calling 911, they were

.confronted with a sight they will not soon forget,

“ It was horrible.” said Mrs. Mcll­vainc simply. “ The cars were still smoky, you could sec steam coming up. We saw the driver who sur\ivcd sitting by the concrete median in the middle of the road. He was con­scious, but bleeding. From'what we heard from witnesses,, his car- went airborne and he was thrown out of his T-roof. The other car ... I’ll never forget it. My husband and I both woke up that night thinking of it.”

Mr. Bovewas treated at the scene by the Monmouth Junction First Aid Squad. :

felony murder, attempted robbery, possession of a weapon for unlawful purpose and ednspiracy, among other things, Mr. Bissell said. Similar charges have been filed against Mr. Gottlieb.

“ ^ e will be- doing background investigation to try to determine how this store, as opposed to any other store, was the target of four people coming from Kansas City,” Mr. Bissell said in a press conference at his Bridgewater office. “ We are trying to determine if there is any connection here; and if so what that connection is, and exactly how they ended up in Franklin Township yes­terday.” ^

Authorities uncovered a detaile.d map of the area surrounding the jewelry store from a car reportedly rented by the .suspects. The map “ indicates the location of the store, major roadways and the location of not only the Franklin Township Police pepartment, blit the ^ licc d e p a rtm e n t s i n s u r r o u n d i n g localities,” Mr. Bissell said.U ^ ^

In addition, the 2:55 p.m. incident coincided with a shift change at the Franklin Police Department, so authorities are looking into whether the local man may have supplied this infonnation to the other .suspects;

“ The fifth individual has not been identified, other than a v c believe he is not from Kansas City." said Mr. Bissell. "We're operating under the theory that in some way they had some information about this jewelry store and that this was a place worth robbing. We're trying to determine what that inforhiation was. how they got it. and who they got it from."

Mr. Bissell would not release the amount of mcrchandi.se in the store at the lime of the robbery, but said “ it was significant.” The suspects did not have time to steal anything from the store, he said. There alsowa.s no information on whether or not Mr... Wolf had just received or had been expecting a large shipm ent of mcrchandi.se.

A uthorities said four of the suspects flew in from Kansas City to LaGuardia on a U.S. Air flight on Monday. The men had round trip tickets back to Kansas City on a flight that left at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. They never made that flight, Mr. Bissell said.

The men rcnicd two cars at the airport, a green Dodge Intrepid and an Eagle Vision. The green Dodge is believed to have been the car Mr. Kennon drove to the jewelry store earlier Tuesday morning when he posed as a customer interested in

.purchasing a diamond ring.When Mr. Kennon entered the

store in the m orning, a Franklin Township police officer was there conducting a routine check of the premises, Mr. Bissell said. .

"Having seen the police officer in there did not . dissuade him from coming back later," Mr. Bissell said.

Mr. Kennon was the first suspect to check into the Hilton on Route IK in East Brunswick Monday; using Mr. Gottlieb’s credit card. Tlircc other men. believed to be Mr. Gotticib and the two younger. suspects, checked into the hotel shortly thereafter using the same credit card.

A Hilton nxrm key was found on Mr. Kennon at the time of his arrest, leading police to the hold. 'I'he suspects w ere videotaped on a surveillance camera as they checked into the hotel. Authonties are study­ing the tape in the hopes of ident­ifying the two younger Kansas City suspects.

According to Jeffrey Wolf, the only witness, at about 2:55 p in. Tuesday two young white men. be- licvcd to be IK to 20 years old. enlered the jewelry store posing as delivery men. (Jne man carried a

cardboard box and one carried S' clipboard.

Mr. Wolf said, he approached the men and the man with the box pushed him. At the same time, Mr. Kennon allegedly entered the store, jumped over the counter, grabbed Brenda Wolf, pushed her to the floor and held a gun to her head;

“ Kennon apparently said at leas; once, ‘I’m going to shoot her,’ ’V Mr. Bissell said. “ (Mr. Wolf) makes his way behind the counter. A shot is fifed — that is his version he recovers a .357 Magnum from behind

. the counter, fires three or four.timc.^ at rather close range and hits Kennon, The first two men were out the, dopy sometime during that sequence apij after Kennon is hit he is also put the door; V

“ My guess is the robbery ,wcnj awry starting with the struggle wfjth Mr. Wolf, and that appears to in some way have caused Kennon tp react and fire the weapon,“ Mq Bissell said. ..

There was a search of at least jl oric-miie radius of the store. epp; ducted by Franklin police with the aid of a State pjilicc helicopter and the South Brunswick and North Brurisi wick police departments, he said. ; ,

A short while later an abandoned bidsmobilc was found idling behind th^ A&P Future .store on Route 27, about a quarter of a mile from th( jewelry store. Police discovered ihp car had been stolen Tuc.sdav morning from the East Brunswick Park 'n' Ride, which is across from ihc;Ea.si Brunswick Hilton. •

Officials speculate that ihe other two suspects who did not enter the store. Mr. Gottlieb and the "local" man, may have l>ecnwaiting at the A&P in another getaway car; ;

Mr. Bissell .said chances are that the men have fled tlie area ctlhcr by car or by taking another llight out of the slate, / :

However, local residents were pul on alert Tuesday night to stay iiKhxi.rs and keep an eye out for anything “ suspicious” because officials speculated the suspects may have lied the area on fixit.

Authorities theorize that Mr. Got­tlieb may have been the ringleader for the Kansas City susjxrcis because he was significantly older than the two unidentified sus[>ects and it was lii.s cred it card that was used for purcha.scs, Mr. Bissell said. Since he did not enter the jewelry store, it i,s believed that Mr. Gottlieb may have been waiting in a getaway car;.he said. ,

Mr. Bissell said Jefirey Wolf wiw being inlcrs'iewcd in greater detail yesterday as olfieials tried to piece the day's events together,, , .

Authorities v,puld mil say.'lr'XW, Kennon and Mr: GottiicH had'(iflfir records, but both men previously used other aliases. ,Mr. Kennon has used the names Marquis Campfielil and Patnek Avery, and Mr; Goillicb has used the nuiiKs Dale Flint and Robert Ryan.

Tests on Mr. Kennon's gun. which IS cither a .22o r a ;3K0 calibiJr automatic, were exjrected to be con­ducted 'nuirsday by the state police,

Locally, some commercials have been shot out at the flat farmland on Haypress Road and one was shot on the ovcrpa.ss looking down on the Turnpike, said'Mr. Gorelick.

The New Jersey Motion Picture and Television Commission was es­tablished by state legislation in 1977 to promote film and television activi­ty in the state, to act as a liaison between film companies and state and local governments, and to assist production companies in .scouting locations for filming, said Mr.... Gorelick.

“ Basically, we cut the red tape and make it ca.sy for a film company to come here,” he said.

Actress Celeste Holm, who ap­peared in “ All About Eve" and more recently as Ted Danson's mom m. "Three Men and a Baby," is chair­woman of the state commission.

There IS at least one designated commission liaison in every town m the-state, including South Brunswick.

Almost every state has a film commission now, so there is a lot of competition in trying to attract film crews, he said. Some states even have commissions on the county and municipal levels. .

New Jersey is in a pretty good, position being so close to New York City, where a lot of film and tele­vision production is done, Mr. Gorelick said. New Jersey probably ranks No. 2, after New York, among the most popular states in the North­east for film production, he said.' Certain areas in the state go through phases of popularity, said Mr. Gorelick. For example, four or five major motion pictures were filmed in Atlantic City within a tw o-year period, and then had nothing for the next couple of years.

The new movie Bogus,” with Whoopi Goldberg, currently is being shot in Atlantic City, he said.

Mr. Gorelick helped Paramount Pictures scout locations for “ LQ.” as far back as October 1993.

“ They like to look at the area where the script takes place, but they look at other states, too,” he said. “ When they decided to film here it was our job to coordinate with the borough and township of Princeton and Princeton University. They were

all really cooperative.”While he primarily works with

producers, directors and location managers, Mr. Gorelick’s job on the commission has allowed him to rub elbows with many movie stars. He said he was most impressed with meeting Woody Allen and Robin Williams, both of whom'have worked in New Jersey on several occasions.

Mr. Gorelick, whose home video library includes at least 1,000 mov­ies , said he alw ays has been interested in film. He even attended New York University Film School for a while.

Mr. Gorelick, who lives with his wife, Joanne, and 16-month-old son Mitchell, said working at the com­mission lets him be a part of the movie magic. ,

“ We have helped with script changes,’’ he said. “ For example, with T.Q.,’ the script had Albert Einstein teaching at Princeton Uni­versity, which he didn’t. He taught primarily at the Institute for Ad­vanced Study in Princeton Township, so they changed that.”

Other facets of the job are equally rewarding, he said.

“ When you’ve found the perfect location for something, you feel like you made a contribution to the film.”

Recreation Supervisor Bonnie Bruc- coleri is the township’s liaison.

The township was involved recent­ly with, the production of the movie

which was filmed largely in nearby Princeton and Cranbury this past spring and summer, he said. While there was no filming in South Brunswick, the commission worked with local officials to arrange lodging for much of the “ LQ.” cast and production staff at the Residence Inn on Route 1.

“ LQ.’’ probably was the biggest movie to be shot in New Jersey in terms of the fact that it was filmed en tire ly w ithin the s ta te , Mr. Gorelick said. While it was not the biggest budgeted film ever to be shot in the state, about S5 million of the film’s total $25 million to $35 million budget was spent nght here in Central Jersey, he said.

Half a million was spent on hotels for “ I.Q.” staff along the Route 1 comdor alone, .Mr. Gorelick said.

The commission is funded out of the state Department of Commerce’s budget, so a mam function is to bring money into the state.“ We had a budget of $272,000 last

year and we brought in $35 million, ” said Mrt Gorelick. Since' 1978, the commission has generated $316 million m local commerce, he said.

Awafd-winning author tells students about imaginationBy Lauren K. Baler' Staff Writer

Children’s author and illustrator Vera B. Williams was once a little girl with a big imagination.

Now at 68, Ms. xyilliams' is the author of about 10 children’s books - that include “ ‘More More More,’ Said the-Baby,” “ Cherries and Cher­ry Pits,” “ Three Days'on a River in a Red Canoe,’’ “ Music, Music for Everyone,’’ ‘.‘Something Special for Me,” “ Stringbcan’s Trip to the Shin- ‘ ing Sea’’ and “ A Chair for My Mother.”

A native of New York City, she recently spoke to several Brunswick Acres School kindergarten, first- and second-grade classes about her work. She also came to visit Thomas Kafalas, a cousin of hers. Thomas is in Cheryl Haberman’s kindergarten cla.ss.

Ms. Williams is the winner of two Caldecott honors and several Boston Globc-Hom Book honors, among, other awards. She received silver Caldecott awards for “ .‘More, More, More,’ Said the Baby" and for “ A Chair for My Mother."

A former teacher and educator, Ms. Williams did not begin writing btxiks until she was 47.

One of her paintings. ‘’Yentas.’’ exhibited at the Museum of Modern An when she was just 9 years old. She and her painting were featured,

. along with Eleanor Roosevelt, in the Movietone News.

When Thomas was bom in 1989.' Ms. Williams ^ent him a copy of

’■ ‘More, More, More,’ Said the Baby," said Ellen Kafalas. Thomas' mother.

“ He likes her b<iok." she said.. “ "And he likes her, too. He has a good time. She's fun."

“ I always felt letters and pictures were kind of close together,” she explained. “ Letters are like pic­tures," she said.

The fun part of being an anist and illustrator is having an imagination, she said.

“ I choose the letters, and then I paint all the letters in,” she said. “ In' this book, I did all the letters. I didn’t do it with a word processor, I didn’t do it with a pen. I did it with a little, teensy brush.” ■

She showed the children how she would color in each letter. “ If I don’t want to go out of the line, I hold it carefully. But, I.don’t clutch it. But,

when you’re learning, you may have to clutch it. But then, I make short, litttle strokes.

“ Art takes long. Writing takes ,, long. Learning anything takes long

and having a plan takes long.”She was even imaginative as a

child, Ms. Williams said. “ 1 love to make up'stories,” she said. "But, that is how my -mind works. ’ ’

She drew several pictures for the children, one of whjeh pictured herself as a child.

“ I wore glasses since 1 was 7 years old,” she said. “ They were always crooked and getting lost.”

At the end of the talk. Ms.

Williams had all the cliiklrcn stand up and hold hands.

"We arc special people." she said. “ 1 came to talk,to you. because you like books. We arc the people who love books, and that is a special thing. You arc important to me. I find you very special friends of mine."

The children then had the opp- portunity to share cookies with the author and to get her autograph.. Several children brought books newly purchased for the occasion.

Jessica Annbcllizio, 6, said her favorite of Ms. William’s books is "A Chair for My Mother. " “ 1 like- the flowers and the chair,” she said.

Staff photo by John KeatingVera B. Williams displays some of her art work for Brunswick Acres students.

“ She’s very nice," 5-ycar-old Thomas agreed. “ She draws good pictures.”

A “ big fan” of the author, Ms. Habcrman said she prepared her class for the visit by reading some of Ms. William’s .stories together. They also spoke about i l lu s tra tio n , Ms. Habemian said. •

Ms. Williams spent a day at the school. She began by speaking to Ms. Haberm an’s, Carol W eiss’ and Sharon Silk Montag’s classes.

She doesn’t always draw the pic­tures for her books, Ms. Williams told the children. Ttw two books she did illustrate arc” 'More, -More, More.'" Said the Baby.V and "A Chair for My Mother," .she said.

Ms. Williams brought with her several large-size paintings and draw­

ings from “ ‘More, More, More,’ Said the Baby.” The illustrations were in several different stages of completion.

Holding a copy of the book, she told the children, “ I wanted pink, like strawberry ice cream.' It was a lot of fun to paint this book.

“ I wrote it, I illustrated the book. It means I decided how big the book would be. Look at the letters! There are all sorts of ways to write a letter. ”

She picked up a magic marker, and on a large sheet of paper, she drew a bubbly “ M,” complete with a face.

“ It’s a person M,” one youngster called out.

Ms. Williams also wrote the word “ h o u s e ,’ ’ with an ’ ’H ’ ’ that rcssembled a house with a smoking chimney.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Com pletion o f R oute 5 2 2 leg w ould be right and fair actionTo the editor.- Your Feb. 16 article entitled ‘Township eyes use of capital funds to build leg of Route 522” demonstrates the all-too-familiar dilemma facing bpoming suburban communities and their officiais.

I commend the leadership and political courage shown by Mayor Douglas Hoffman and Deputy Mayor Ted Van Hessen for seeking an equitable and balanced solution towards the completion of Route 522, one of the key debates on this issue in South Brunswick Township.

Ultimately all of our homes and all of our communities are impacted by the traffic in our township. However, there are degrees of impact, a concept that is central to solving the problem we face. ’

Do we continue to inequitably decimate our older town centers by forcing their narrow streets to bear the full brunt of our region’s traffic growth, which is generated both inside and outside of our boundaries?

Do we continue to allow new housing projects to be designed with one or two limited access roads leading to cul-de-sacs — which generate additional traffic on our older roads in our historic communities^— without relief to our old towns?

Our new neighbors are as integral to our township as we who live in the heart of Kingston, Dayton, Deans and Monmouth Junction. But our new communities have not accepted their responsible contribution to townshipwide infrastructure support, whether it be multi-lane roads or firehouses, which must be shared fairly among all of us to benefit everyone who lives in the township. ■

Those of us who live in the village of Kingston recognize the consequence of our choice of residence in a historic community — narrow streets, small setbacks, few sidewalks, crosswalks, or stop signs— and the impact on ourdaily lives.

We haven’t demanded that our streets be turned into cul-de-sacs or that toll booths be installed,to deter the traffic that-fioods our streets,-

But our com'munity'Has riot been treated fairly by planning processes that channel this burden in one direction only, to us!

The balance of power is shifting.Both long-time and more recent residents of our older communities

are fed up with the unilateral“ dumping” approach to which we have been subjected. We are demanding equity in road systems and traffic enforcement from our officials.

I f the solution to past problems and past mistakes requires new approaches with new costs, so be it!

The mayor and deputy mayor have taken the initiative and boldly challenged us to move ahead with a road that has been on the county and township Master Plans for many years, a road that is vital to a transportation system that must handle an explosion o f growth that is not yet over.

I applaud their action.It’s the right thing to do. It’s the fair thing to do.

Committee recruits ‘sheep’ to serve on its boards, panels

To the editor: ^I was appalled at the rudeness of our Republican Township Mayor

Doug Hoffman and Township Committee members Roger Craig and Ted Van Hessen toward Thelma Karras at the municipal meeting on March 7, when she questioned why the committee was not reappoint­ing her to the Senior Citizens Advisory Committee.

As the committee tried to explain its decision to Ms. Karras, it became apparent that she was being removed from the Advisory Committee because she sometirnes questioned how the Senior Citizens Center and its programs were being administered.

In other words, she was not a ‘‘yes man.”This leads me to believe that our Republican administration is

looking for sheep to serve on its committees. And if you don’t “ baa” loudly and frequently, they will not only drop you from the committee, but treat you with scorn at Township Committee meetings.

Messrs. Craig, Hoffman and Ven Hessen should be ashamed of their behavior. '

Smith family thanks all for helpTo the editor: - v;"';

We would like to thank everyone who responded to a motor vehicle accident at the Route 27 and Beeknian Road intersection on March 6.

The professionalism at the scene was second to none. It is' comforting to know the quality of personnel that dedicates its time and efforts in providing emergency services to our residents.

Also, having the paramedics from Robert Wood Johnson Hospital stationed within our municipality is aq asset and a blessing to our community. They, along with the Kendall Park First Aid Squad members, exhibited expertise, knowledge and dedication.

The third agency on scene also is deserving of our utmost praise: Police Chief Michael Paquette along with his staff provided a safe and secure area, while controlling the scene and conducting a thorough investigation.

The concerns, compassion and thoughtfulness we have received from the entire South Brunswick Township staff, including the Township Committee and all township employees, will always be remembered and appreciated.

The support afforded us during this time of need is that of a large family-type atmosphere and wq are thankful and proud to be associated with all of you.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Co-op opposition must understand that school enhances communityTo .the editor:

Almost three years ago. we moved to South Brunswick because of its reputation, as being a vcr>' friendly, family-oriented communi­ty-

We had heard of wondcriul pro­grams, activities, educational cx- .peiiences-that took, place within the ‘town arid thought if Would be a. favorable environment to rai.se our two boys.

Recently, a very distressing situ­ation has evolved within the town­ship.

The Cooperative Nursery School of Kendall Prk is in danger of closing its doors perm anienly against its own will.

It is being forced to move the location of the school due to its lease being canceled by its current landlord. When a new location for

St. Barnabas Episcopal Church was finally detcmiined, evcrj'onc in­volved in the school breathed a sign of relief.' Unfortuntcly, 13 homeowners in surrounding houses have launched a fierce, antagonistic battle over the new St. Barnabas location.: The Cooperative Nursery School o f’lKcndall Park, (Co-op) is a vciy unique nursery school. Tlic parents are involved in every aspect of its existence.

Co-op is a non-profit organiza­tion and the only salaries paid are those for the teachers. Board mem­bers, committee chairs and others are all voluhtcer parents from the children attending the school. Ob- viou.sly, there is an incredible amourihof dcdiction by the parents that goes into the operation of the school on a daily basis.

. In a time in which parL-nts must monitor so very carefully the secur­ity and welfare of their ehilren. Co-op is a place where a parent can send a child to enjoy the ex­periences of childhood without the worry of abu.se and . neglect. At. Co-op. every class is attended by

' parent of one of the children in the J class to^hclp the teacher and the ‘ assistant teacher. Not only is it nii;c

to have peace of mind as to safety, but these “ participation” days arc much enjoyed and cherised by n>e and the many other parents at the school.

It is such a .shame and very, very sad that this friendly, kind, “ child- oriented” township may be losing a landmark when it comes to Early Childhixxl Education.

There arc 13 homeowners con­cerned mainly with aesthetics of

their homes. They are protesting feverishly the addition, to St. Barnabas Church to accomnuxlatc Co-op. It is tragic that the lives of an infinite number of children, even those children not yet Ixmi,may not have the opportunity of attending such a loving, kind, happy environ­ment due to these 13 homeowners.

I would lui[K’ the heartsiof these p ro te s tin g n u llv id u u ls w ould change. lAxrk towards itie addition of St. Barnabas Church to aceom-, miHiate Co-op Nursery SduHil as an

Co-op traffic safety not an issue; zoning variance should, be granted

A

To the editor:

It is with great concern that we have learned of the possible closing of the Cooperative Nursery School of Kendall Park.

We moved to Brunswick Acres in 1983 and our first son was bom the following year. While taking our baby for a walk a few months later, a neighbor asked if we would be sending our boy to Co-op.

A t‘the time, we had never heard of the school, but it wasn’t long before we learned of its status in the community.

Co-op has been an important part of South Brunswick for almost four decades. Many of us moved to South Brunswick because of our fine school system.

Well, the education of our chil­d re n b e g in s lo n g b e f o r e kindergarten. Hundreds of the pres­ent students in our township got

their start m Co-op, It would be a shame for the .school to close and for so many children to miss out on such a fine nursery school.

Janice Maiorano, Co-op’s direc­tor, is an excellent teacher and we are happy that our two sons were taught by her. Co-op is not a typical nursery schtxrl. The tuition is kept very low by the cooperative nature of the program. The school is non-profit and parents arc required to help both in and out of the classroom.

For example, we held the posi­tions of secretary and repairs chair during our children’s enrollment. We mention this because Co-op provides a service that cannot be found elsewhere.

By keeping tuition low, the school is affordable to those who might not otherwise be able to send their children to preschool.

We understand that the continu­

ation of Co-op at its new hx’ation requires a zoning variance. Some neighbors apparently object.

Is this objection rcu-sonuble?Wc think not.'This is not the consimetion of toll

route through a rural section of town. This is for the constmction of a nursery school. Traffic increases will be minimal, with no more than 40 cars entering or leaving the site at a time.

This is surely less than those created at Sunday services. Safety IS not an issue. There is no safer driver than a mother transporting her most precious cargo. -

The new high school will be

c o n s tru c te d a d ja c e n t to ou r rTcighborliwHl. While this will have mixed ramifications lor the area, it is clearly to the long-term advan­tage of our children and the children of South Brunswick,

'nicrefore. wc voted m favor of the Ixmd issut;.

Likewise; the neighbors of St. Barnabas should, nut stand in the way ol the nursery .school,

nic CiH)(Krativ'c Nursery Scho<}| is a South Brunswick institution. Whatever zoning variances are necessary to inanitam ,the school should Ik* granted.,

Housing panel needs resourcesTo the editor: ■

I’ve lived in Kendall Park for 38 years. And I’ve been a member of the South Brunswick Affordable. Housing Authority for five years. Both this community and the authority have been sources of deep pride and satisfaction for me over the years,

I would like to add my voice to the many who have praised the Affordable Housing Authority for its achievements. The sustained vision, commitment and just plain hard work of the authority have placed South Brunswick in the vanguard of communities struggling to . solve the complex, urgent problems of affordable housing. It has ' become a widely-respected model for the whole state.

■ T o fully understand what makes the authority tick, you must consider.the people who have created it over the years. People like Dr. Barry Indik, Ted Cherry, Arlyne DeSena and the Rev. Eugene Speckman, who provided the early inspiration and leadership. Today, the Rev. Speckman remains active as chairman and Ms. DeSena serves as the Housing Officer, who makes it all happen.

Despite the Authority’s impressive record; there are .still more than 1,000 people on the waiting list for affordable housing in our township. Many of them are single working mothers with children, the elderly; and, the underemployed. Much remains to be done.

-I. urge the South Brunswick Township Committee to give the authority the resources — human and financial — required to continue its important efforts on behalf of those who simply need a roof over their heads.

Youth symposium generates new ideas

The evaluations of North Bruns­wick Township’s recent Youth Op­portunities Symposium rate it a success and a good start. Program participants felt that the forum help­ed open lines of communication.

•offering individuals a chance to network with others working with youth in the community.

Mayor Paul J. Matacera, the sy m p o s iu m h o s t , e x p re s se d pleasure in the events of the day. In particular, he was pleased by the level of participation by the youth in attendance — and was impressed by the sharing of ideas and sense of community spirit that prevailed.

Nearly 80 people, participated in th e s y m p o s iu m . S ix th - to 12th-grade students, school staff and parents, M ayor M atacera, superintendent Dr. Alan Elko, local

’ clergy, DHS staff, and members of the community at large took part in the activities.. Participants were assigned to

three separate 40-minute work groups throughout the morning. These groups foeused on recrea­tion, sehools and social issues. Tow nship-councilm em bers Sal Liguori, Joe Fritsche and Morris Enyeart faeilitated.

A the end of the morning, a reporter for each group made a brief presentation to the entire sym­posium audience. Two concerns surfaced regularly in all three work groups:' the need for better com­munication between youth groups and programmers and the need for a transportation system to get youth to programs, practices, games and activities.

The DHS staff is reviewing work group notes and catalogs of ac­tivities. They will be drawing a final symposium report based on this input. The report will then be forwarded to all participants for review and comment. Following that process, plans of action will be made and future forums will be discussed.

Chinese soups provide light fareBy Angela Chang. Special Writer

; It may, come as a surprise that wonton soup is never served as a meal in traditional Chinese house- iholds, but rather as an afternoon or .midnight snack. Nor is hot and sour Isoup everyday fare; it is served to ■company or on special occasions, ,! There are basically two kinds of ;home-style soupsi the light soup and |the heavy soup. You may call the [light-soup a quick and convenient [dish, since it can be made with ready [Stock or Chicken broth. You need •almost no skill except the good judg- jment of knowing what goes in the Isoup to make a pot of .soothing, jsavory broth. Here are some guide- I lines for beginners:I • Light soup .should be smooth iand liquidy, since it is intended to ‘accompany the meal as. a savory !beverage.I • Ingredients for light soup should [be tinder, easy to cook and have [contrasting color and texture.I • Although a great variety of [products may be used in light soups, [the following ingredients arc fre- jqucntly used by Chinese home cooks: [eggs, ham, seafood, shredded or [sliced meats, tofu, cellophane noo* [dies, seaweed, com, tomatdcs~napa [cabbage and other leafy vegetables.

• [ The key to a successful soup is the• .stock. With a pt)t of flavorful stock,• any meat or vegetable with good Uexture and taste will create a dclcc-' tabic .soup. There arc many ways of making good stock. Traditionally, a

[professional Chinese cook brews his [stock in an elaborate and extravagant ! manner. It is said that a small pot of ‘ stock sometirhes takes several whole chickens plus long hours 6f;simmcr- ing. Fortunately, modem c<X)ks need not follow this formula.

Like many Chinese home cooks, I find canned chicken broth extremely convenient and versatile If I want my .soup to have more depth in taste. I simply throw in a few spareribs or chicken btines or Chinese dried sea­food to lend their distinctive flavors.

HOT TOMATO FISH SOUPThis soup is quite close to hot and

.sour soup 111 taste, but the ingredients arc different. Lven though the name says “ hot” you can alway.s adjust the peppery taste according to your preference. Zesty and lively, a soup like this is particularly tempting on a cool day.

dients in a bowl. Cut the fish into bite-size strips and place in the m arinating sauce for about IS m inutes or lo n g er. R inse the vegetables lightly. Cut the tomato and onion into wedges and cut the napa cabbage into thin strips.

2. Heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium^high heat. Saute the' pep­percorns until the color changes; discard with a spatula. Add the onion and stir to flavor the oil. When it turns light brown, push to the side and add fish to the hot oil. Saute fish until both sides are nicely browned.

3. Bring the .soup ingredients to a boil over high heat. Add the fish and onion. Lower the heat and cook for about 10 minutes or until the tomato and cabbage are tender. Add the vinegar, hot oil and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and .server Serves 6-8.

DAIKON MUSHROOM SOUP I found this recipe in a home-style

Chinese restaurant. The refreshing ta.ste surprised many diners. They found it hard to believe that a little known vegetable like diakon turnip could produce such elegant taste. Diakon soup is not a new recipe. It was on etnperors' menus centuries ago.

1 small daikon about 1 '/■> pound 5 medium black mushrooms

'/: cup ground pork2 cans chicken broth 5 cups water

Marinating sauce:1 teaspoon dry sherry 1 tablespoon light soy sauce 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Seasoning:1 teaspoon .sesame oil

salt and pepper to taste ,1 tablespoon cilantro •I , Soak the mushrooms in 1 cup of

water until soft, cut into strips and set aside. Mix the ground pork with the marinating ingredients and let .stand for 3-5 miiiutcs. (Sut the daikon into '/i inch cupes or use a gwxl shredder and cflr inid shreds.

2. In a medium soup pot, boil the chicken broth, water and mushrooms (with juice) for 3 minutes or until the flavor of mushrooms is fully ex­tracted. Add the pork and daikon; cook until the daikon becomes tender — about S minutes. Mix in the seasonings and remove to a soup bowl. Serve hot; Serves 6-8.

CORNISH HEN AND . * BLACK MUSHROOM'SOUP T h e ancient Chinese considered this to be a healing soup. Today, home cooks appreciate its conve­nience and elegant ta.stc. A fresh Cornish hen and a few simple season­ings will yield a pot of flavorful

steaming soup for you.1 to 1 Im pounds Cornish hen1 tablespoon chopped scallions or

cilantro Seasonings:

4 slices ginger root3 tablespoons dry sherry6 pieces large or 8 medium black

mushrooms salt to taste

1. Clean and trim fat from hen. Cut into 1-inch strips or bite-size pieces. Mix with 1 tablespoon of sherry and let stand for a few minutes. Soak the mushrooms in 1 cup of water until they expand. Cut off the stems. Use both mushrooms and juice for the soup.

2. Fill a medium size soup pot w ith '/z po t o f w a te r . Add mu.shrooms and ginger; bring to a rolling boil. Reduce heat to medium and add chicken pieces and sherry.

3. Maintain a gentle boil until the chicken is tender, 10-15 minutes. Add water when the broth is low. Water level should be slightly above chicken. Taste to see if additional seasoning is needed; salt or light soy sauce may be added. Before serving, • always add scallions or. cilantro for

‘ added color and aroma. Serve hot. Serves 4. .......... ..........

BLACK-EYED PEA SOUPBlack-cycd peas arc not just wholc-

.some; they can be made into very tasty soups. The best accompaniment for peas arc meat bones. Long sim­mering draws out all good flavor in the bone marrow and melts into the crearhy pea soup. The taste of this dish is hearty but not at all heavy.

4 chicken drum sticks or pork spareribs

1 cup black-eyed peas (dry)1 , cup chicken broth3 slices ginger root2 tablespoons dry sherry1 tablespoon minced cilantro

.salt and pepper to taste1. Cut a slit on each drum stick

and marinate with , sherry for 10 minutes.

2. In a medium stock pot. bringhalf a pot of-water and I cup of chicken stock to a boil. Add the chicken (with sherry) and ginger root; let boil for 10 minutes over inc- dium-high heat. Add the black-cycd peas and salt to taste. Cook for about 50-60 minutes or until the soup becomes.creamy. Stir occasionally; add water as needed. Garnish with cilantro when , the - ta.stc is well blended. Remove and serve im­mediately. Serves 6-8. .

‘Pace-a-thon’ set to benefit New HorizonsThe Racquet Place on Route 34 in

Matawan will hold a Pace-a-thon to benefit New Horizons in Autism, a Cranbury-based non-profit organiza­tion serving children and adults with autism in seven New Jersey counties.

The Pace-a-thon, an exciting, in­structor-led circuit exercise program set to motivating music, is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 8. Pace equipment is designed to ac­commodate all fitness levels, from beginner to advanced.

Men and women older than 18 may regi-ster; April 5 is, the deadline. Those interested should contact Marianne Colucci, The Racquet Place, 163 Route 34; Matawan, N:J. 07747; (908) 583-3990 (phone); (908) 583-8170 (fax).

Free child care will be available to

Pacers; arrangements must be made in advance. Juice, water and light refreshments will be provided. The suggested goal for sponsorships is $100. Those who reach or exceed this goal will be given a special award,

An absence of community services for New Jersey citizens with, autism provided the impetus for a small group of parents to organize New Horizons in Autism Inc. The or­ganization was .founded in 1980 under the name Gommunity Living for, the Autistic. New Horizons in Autism develops and operates pro­grams that give parents of autistic children alternatives to placing their son or daughter in an institution or an out-of-state program.

Local doctor heads state’s first PPOBy Jim WilsonBusiness Editor

A Princeton Junction pediatrician, Dr. Stephen E. Hefler, will be presi­dent of the state’s first Preferred' Provider Organization (PPO).

To be known as Physicians Health Care Associates, the group is essen­tially a ^physician-owned Health Maintenance Organization (HMO). It will provide preventive and thera­peutic medical services through its new JustCare cooperative health care system, which, for patients, will function like membership in an HMO.

“ PHCA is dedicated to providing high-quality, cost-effective health c a re , ra th e r than d isco u n ted medicine," Dr. Hefler said making the announcement Monday.

PHCA will act as a council of more than 20 Individual Practice Associa­tions (IPAs) serving all major popula­tion centers in New Jersey. It has recruited about 5,000 primary care and specialist physicians affiliated with more than 50 hospitals through­out New Jersey.

"Physicians Health Care As­sociates has been formed as a su- pcrior alternative to HMOs to preserve the integrity of the doc- tor/piiticnt relationship at competitive fees to patients and their insurers." .said Dr. Hefler. "We offer traditional fcc-for-scrvicc health care with con­

venience, freedom of choice and continuity of care,” Dr. Hefler said.

About a third of the state’s primary care physicians will participate in PHCA, he said. Through them, pa­tients can be referred to specialists as they are needed.

According to Dr. Hefler, the quali­ty of the care provided by PHCA physicians will be monitored by their individual IPA peer-review panels of physicians.

“ PHCA will further improve quali­ty and efficiency when it becomes the state-wide medical component of JustC are, the firs t non-profit, self-help agency cooperative in New Jersey designed to create a communi­ty partnership of payors, consumers and providers in the health care marketplace,” he said.

Cost savings are expected to comes from the use of state-of-the-art infor­mation technology to help cut waste and lower costs of claims processing.

Dr. Hefler said managed care pay­ors and plan managers — such as self-insured employers, insurance companies, unions and governments — can all benefit from PHCA, its tracking of costs, therapeutic quality standards and outcomes, and its rcci- 'procily agreements with other PPOs throughout the country.

"Hospitals will, also benefit from the cost-effective quality review by physician panels, nationwide reci­procity. agreements and negotiated

support for cost-effective arrange­ments within a comprehensive health care delivery network," he said.

The fee schedules for PHCA were developed from information found in the "Tables of Relative Values for Physicians,” a.reference guide pub­lished by McGraw-Hill.

Physicians must be members of the IPAs which form PHCA and be board certified or board eligible. Dr. Hefler said more than 90 percent of PHCA-NJ are board certified or board eligible. PHCA member of­fices and !tffiliated hospitals arc located throughout New Jersey.

Since 1987, Dr. Hefler has been president and medical director of the Princeton Individual Practice As­sociation, a founding member of PHCA. An attending pediatrician at Princeton Medical Center since 1979, Dr. Hefler. was an associate attending , pediatrician there from 1977 to 1979, and has been the medical inspector for the East Windsor School District for over 16 years. He also sec patients in his office in West Windsor.

He received his undergraduate degree in. 1964 from Columbia Col­lege, Columbia University, and his medical degree from Columbia Col­lege of Physicians and Surgeons in 1968. He served his pediatric inter­nship and residency at Babies Hospi­tal, Columbia Presbyterian Medical

‘...people who do not know what ADD is hear a few phrases about it and say, ‘That’s just the latest excuse for getting out of work...’ ”

— Dr. Edw ard M. Halloweil

Shift in view of workers with attentional disorder

By Susan MarchStaff Writer

Imagine a disability that af­flicted between five and eight percent of the population, yet few people di.scussed it or sought treat­ment for fear of being branded "brain damaged" or "emotional­ly disturbed."

M ore th an 15 m illio n Americans — many of them work­ing adults — may suffer from such a disability: a neurological dis­order called attention deficit dis­order (ADD), according to Dr. Marge Torrance, a school psy­chologist in Princeton. Its sym­ptoms of distractibility, impulsive­ness and restlessness are often misunderstood, and may evoke negative reactions or judgmental tsks of " if only he applied himself...."

When people learn the behavior is attributed to a specific disorder, they may shake their heads in disgust because of a belief that diagnosis undennines the work e th ic . W riting in the book "Answers to Distraction,” psy­chiatrist Dr, Edward M. Halloweil notes, "...people who' do not know what ADD is hear a few

p h ra se s ab o u t it ..an d say,..."That’s just the latest ex­cuse for getting out of work... The backlash also derives from a mis­guided notion that the diagnosis of ADD underm ines the work ethic."

The book’s co-author, psy­chiatrist Dr. John Ratcy — who will address the issue of ADD in the workplace on Friday at the Ramada Inn in Plainsboro — cites a number of examples of creative and dedicated cmploycc$ who just can’t seem to reach their potential. There is the case of the stellar salesman who can't get his paper­work done;, the worker who, de­spite a good relationship with the toss, hasn’t had a raise in four years; and the project leader with brilliant solutions who can't seem to take the necessary steps to get things started. There are the em­ployees who seem to work harder and longer than anyone else in the company, yet can’t seem to ever finish the work.

Among the symptoms of the disorder, according to Drs. Ratcy and Halloweil, are an inability to attend to detail and difficulty in organizing tasks, and many other­wise competent workers have been denied promotions and remain

stalled in their careers for failing to take care of the necessary paperwork their jobs require.

Although some people remain unconvinced of its existence, members of the psychiatric, psychological and educational communities say ADD is not new and the research of recent years has affirmed its existence.

“ If you look as far back as ancient Greece, or in 19th century German literature, you find de­scriptions of children with ADD,” said Dr. Elliot Gursky, a psy­chiatrist in Princeton, who said as recently as 10 or 15 years ago, there was still controversy over whether or not the disorder ex­isted. “ The European psychiatric community was calling it an A m erican d isease . But the evidence has been very clear that it exists,"he said.

One common label that persists is that people with ADD suffer from some sort of brain damage, despite a lack of evidence, accord­ing to Dr. Steven B. Gordon, a clinical psychologist and faculty member at Rutgers University. In the took, "Meeting the ADD C h allen g e ,"D r. Gordon and

Hoping to develop foreign trade opportunities for areas businesses, the Chamber of Commerce of the Princeton Area will sponsor its fourth annual International Trade and Tech­nology Forum arid Exposition Mon­day at the M arrio tt H otel in Plainsboro. .

Organized by CCPA’s In ter­national Business Development Council, the day long event has drawn the attention of trade represen- tatives from B elgium , B razil, Canada, France, Germany, Iijdia, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mex­ico, the Philippines, Portugal, Spain and .Switzerland......... ............... .

“ The primary interest of this con­ference is the opportunity to meet individually with representatives from each country,” said Ellen Hodges, CCPA president. ‘‘En­

v iro n m en ta l, in fo rm ation and biotechnology will be the focus of this event. We feel these three technologies are very important to New Jersey’s economy and should be addressed.

Ms; Hodges said representatives from area companies will have the opportunity to schedule one-on-one meetings with trade representatives and participate in technology orienta­tion seminars.

The program will also feature workshops on topics ranging from the whys and hows of going inter­national, to technology trends, financing..intemational transactions, sourcing and distribution and partner­ing with foreign enterprises.

Area companies will have the op­portunity to display their product at booths, or show product literature at the show’s catalog center.

New C-TEC rates to go up for some down for others

C-TEG Gable Systems is changing 'certain rates for customers in New Jersey and New York beginning in April, with the net effect reflecting an increase or decrease depending on services purchased.'

In all systems, expanded basic service will increase $1.85 per month. Family Value Package, a service tier of 13 channels including CNN, MSG, SportsChannel New York and TNT, will increase $1.50, from $5.95 to $7.45 per month.

■Additionally, premium services Cinemax and The Disney Channel will both increase $1 per month on a stand alone basis as well as in pack­ages of premium services.

At the same time, C-TEC will no longer charge $3.95 per month for any additional outlets. This means that customers with cable on more than one set will see decreases in multiples of $3.95 for the number of additional television sets they have connected to cable. Converter boxes on those additional sets will still be available for the regulated rate of $2 per converter.

“ We realize that people do not like us to raise rates. However, in order to keep pace with inflation and increases

in the programming costs we pay, the government has allowed us to recover diese additional expenses by means of this rate adjustment,” said Steven L. Randell, vice president and gen­eral manager of C-TEC’s eastern region. “ Other than a small inflation adjustment in January, C-TEC has not increased our rates in over two years.”

He said, While some customers will see an increase in their total bill, most customers with additional outlets will see a net decrease in their overall rate. That is good news-for many of the homes we serve.”

Although many rates will change * the price for the Limited Basic Tier will not.

“ We think it is significant that we have not changed the price of our Limited Basic Tier,” said Mr. Randell. "This means that many of our customers who are on fixed incomes or tight budgets, and those customers who want cable only for improved reception, will see no change in their bills. We have heard from many of these customers asking that the price of this ‘lifeline service’

Lab extends hand to small business

'The Princeton University Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) has joined forces with (he International Minority Business C orporation (IMBC) to expand the diversity of the lab’s suppliers.

As part of the program 35 represen­tatives from these- businesses "were recen tly in v ited tO a spec ia l “ procurement breakfftst” for . 'Its objective:. to included more small;« disadvantaged and womcn-owned businesses among those who sell supplies and services to the lab.

PPPL Director Ronald Davidson, who welcomed the group, discussed PPPL’s long-term objective of ad­vancing the understanding and con­trol of the fusion process for energy applications, as well as its immediate goal of increasing the involvement of minority and women-owned busi­nesses in the Laboratory’s work.

“This, too, is fusion, but of a different sort — the fusion of a

dynamic scientific enterprise with an enthusiastic, entrenrcneurial business sector,” said Mr. Davidson of the Lab’s more immediate goal. “ The product of this fusion reaction is also energy — the energy needed to nurture your businesses and to power thjs Laboratory onward in its impor­tant scientific quest. This breakfastis an opportunity for this second kind of fusion to-take place.”; The four-hour meeting gave small disadvantaged and women-owned businesses an introduction to PPPL and also provided Laboratory staff the opportunity to meet represen­tatives of qualified businesses. Fol­lowing presentations, which featured remarks by Davidson, PPPL Deputy Director Dale Meade.

Expert says drug market needs more ethical execsBy Jim WilsonBusiness Editor

Global events reshaping the drug industry demand a new breed of executive with strong ethics, a world­wide vision and the ability to thrive in a highly regulated environment,. ac­cording to a leading executive search consultant.

“ Despite increased government scrutiny at home and price conrols dictated by managed care, the U.S. pharmaceutical industry will thrive this decade under the guidance of executives able’ to navigate the domestic and international forces that are driving, the industry.” said Ken Clark, managing director of the healthcare products practice for the princqton office of Ko^Ferry Inter-

‘ national, a global search firrii.Mr. Clark said global changes

facing drug industry executives in­clude more competition for licensing opportunities, continued alliances among manufacturers and the rise in sales of generic drugs. “ Clearly, the managers of today find themselves

having to do more with less, press­ured by the squeeze from managed care and worldwide competition," he said.

European countries arc levying fines for excessive product promotion and Italy is eliminating tax deduc­tions for marketing expenses' over a set amount, “ These pressures arc coming on the heels of draconian price controls forced on manufac­turers by payers in Gcnnany and the United Kingdom.” he said.

“ CEO s o f m u ltin a t io n a l pharmaceutical companies realize that to defray fixed costs and finance new research they have to operate everywhere they can reasonably ex­pect to make pijofits." said Mr. Clark, who has done global searches

■ fo r p re s id e n ts and C E O s of • pl\armgicculical fimis. He added that

a recent survey of 66 Japanese drug companies found that two-thirds tire expanding outside the Pacific Rim.

“ Management must have a knowl­edge of and a respect for the com­plexity and diversity of worldwide markets,” he said.“ Too mgny paxi- uct launches fail due to development

exclusively based on'criteria of only one nation - the products have global applications, they ..must be tested globally.”

I-Myers Squibb unit wins infant food contract

The Calif. State Health rx-partmeni has selected Mead Johnson Nutri­tional Group, a Bristol-Myers Squibb company, as the sole supplier infant formula to its .supplemental nutritional program for Women. In­fants'and Children (WIC).

WIC is a federally funded program providing pregnant women and their children up to age five with vouchers for nutritious foods, nutrition cduca-t tion and referrals to needed health! services. The General Accounting Office estimates every dollar spent on WIC saves taxpayers three during an infant's first year of life. About 990,000 participants qualify for thc'Calif. program each month.

. , Mead Johnson ottered to rebate to the state appmximatcly 52.20 for every can of infant fomiula its sells to WIG participants, The deal will gen­erate half a billion dollars for the state, over the next three years, the com­pany said. For Mead Johnson the sole source arrangement is expected to result in an additional $15 million, by adding 45.000 more participants per month. ■ ■

The stale's WIC program issued its invitation to bid for the contract to all known fomiula manufacturers in Dc- ccmlKr. Only the Ross Pnxlucts Division of Abhiiit Laboratories and Mead Johnson Nutritional Group sub­mitted proposals,

Qivorce settlements hold avoidable income tax trap

Breaking up a marriage can be taxing — both emotionally and finan­cially. Adding to a couple’s burd^ are complex tax laws that each party must carefully consider if the couple is to reach an equitable settlement.

Your marital status on Dec. 31 determines your filing status for fedr eral income tax purposes, according to the New Jersey Society of Certified Public Accountants. If your divorce is final before the end of the year, the Internal - Revenue Service considers you single for the entire, year. That means you can’t file a joint return with your ex-spouse even if you were married'for the first 364 days of the year. ‘

The newly formed Brownie Troop of the Chapin School in Lawrenceville is really getting down to business.

ADDContinued from Page 13A

co-r-author Dr. Michael J. Asher write that the view developed be­cause people with actual brain dam­age — such as caused by head injuries or encephalitis — displayed behaviors that were similar to those displayed by people with ADD.

B y, the 1940s, the terminology was modified to minimal bruin dysfunction , according to 'th e authors, who note the label changed again during ,the 1960s, and chil^ dnen who displayed symptoms were considered hyperkinetic.

By the end of the 1970s, they write, researchers began to focus on sustained attention deficits and im­pulse control problems in children, and the disorder took on the name attention deficit disorder, which can exist with or without hyperactivity.

Attention deficit is actually u misnomer, according to Drs. Ratey and Hallowcll, who believe atten­tion inconsistency or attention variability provide a more accurate description of the disorder. Tlicy note that people with ADD can pay Attention extremely well and fcKUs< with great intensity at times, This occu rs when they arc h igh ly motivated or captivated. ;

While there IS no clear under­standing of why ADD occurs —- although a genetic component is.always involved, according to Dr. Torrance —- researchers think they know how it occurs. Once thought to result from an overstimulated brain, the belief nowadays is ADD , m ay r e s u l t fro m an u n d e r - stimulation of the portions of the brain primarily responsible for theability to pay attention, concentrate and inhibit impulsiveness. Drs.Gordon and Asher note in their book that ‘increased activity, dis- tractibility, and difficulties with im­pulse control may be explained as ...attempts to cope with boredom due to low levels of external stimulation."

For this reason, the medications that arc used to treat the disorder and help the afflicted remain on track — most commonly Ritalin and Dcxcdrinc are stimulants designed to increase the brain's activity. Drs. Gordon and Asher liken the use of stimulant medica­tions for people with ADD to the

of insulin for people withuse

"However, if the attcntional prob­lem is of a nature that the job can’t be accommixlated, then the 'em­ployer can try to find another job for that person, when possible."

Although they arc protected under the law, people with ADD do not have a lifelong employment guarantee. Compliance with the law docs not supersede the rights ol employers to expect a consistent level of performance Irom their employees, according to the at­torney, M r.Thunnan.

“ Once the condition is revealed, the person with the disability be­comes part of a protected class and the employer has an obligation to

accommodate that person. But the employee must still do the essential functions of the job .” he said.

Rules hbout the division of prop­erty vary depending on whether you reside in a community property state or an equitable property state. In most cases, property transferred as part of a divorce settlement is not treated as a taxable sale. Different rules apply when appreciated property, such as a residence, portfolio of investments, or other assets, changes hands as a result of a divorce. In Aese instances, the tax basis •— generally, the or­iginal cost of the property, plus some adjstments —- is transferred to the new owner of the property.

To qualify for the deduction, alimony must be paid to or on behalf of a former spouse in cash, by check, or by money order, and must be required by a written divorce decree or separation agreement. Also, the payer must be the one obligated to make the payments. Only the amount stipulated in the agreement is deduc­tible or taxable. Amounts paid in excess of the agreement will be deemed ndndeductible gifts. Other ; r u l e s a p p ly , , so check with a tax adviser to be sure you can claim a deduction.

To make certain that child support payments don’t slip through under the

guise ot alimony, the 1K6 holds that if any payment, regardless of how it may be classified in the , divorce decree, is reduced based on a cont­ingency relating to a child, that reduction is treated as child support from the outset and is not deductible.

If you’re planning to deduct alimony on your 1994 tax return, you must include your ex-spouse’s name and Social Security number on your tax return; This requirement is de­signed to ensure that, if you’re claim­ing a deduction, your ex-spouse is reporting the same amount of in­come.

While both parents may contribute to the support of a child, only one can claim the dependency exemption for the child. The law generally gives the exemption to the custodial parent named in the divorce decree. If neither parent is named, the IRS considers the custodial parent to be the one who provided a home for the child for the greater part of the year. However, it’s possible for the non­custodial parent to ‘claim the exemp­tion if the custodial parent relin­quishes his or her claim to the exemption by signing IRS Form 8332. In this case, the noncustodial parent attaches this form to his or her tax return.

The tax laws covering divorce can be complex and may often require the advice of a professional tax adviser; Keep in mind that the fees you pay to a CPA for advice when negotiating an equitiable divorce settlement may be tax deductible.

John Gant watches another 10 pins go down Saturday as he struck his way to victory in the Johnny Petraglia Open at Garolier Lanes in North Brunswick.

Applying for stardomM cNeely hopes h e’s the fresh blood PBA is looking for

By Ken WeingartnerSports Writer PETRAGLIA OPEN

NORTH BRUNSWICK — The Professional Bowlers Association is looking for a superstar.

Ken McNeely is willing to fill the role.

The Morganton, N .C ., native made his first national tournament of the year a memorable one by finish­ing second in the Brunswick Johnny Petraglia Open at Garolier Lanes last weekend.

McNeely, the tournament leader entering the stepladder finals, lost 234- 216 to John Gant in the. title match. Gant won four games last Saturday to claim the crown, which

was the third of his career and worth $34,000.-

“ I don’t think this will be the last time you’ll see me on television,” said McNeely, who made the finals in just the eighth tourney of his two- year career. " I ’m pretty competitive and I like being out there in front of people. It’s a lot of fun.”

McNeely’s second-place finish was good for $18,000 and should help keep the lefthander on the tour for a while. Financial constraints have kept him from bowling in more events.

The 27ryear-old McNeely wanted to turn pro during college, but instead

honored his mother’s request to, com­plete his education. He, received a bachelor of arts degree in history from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, then headed for the tour. ■

“ I wanted to do it all through college,” McNeely said. ” 1 was watching the guys on television and wishing 1 was out there. This is what I’ve always wanted to do.”

M cNeely started bow ling in leagues at the age of four and became hooked on the game at 10 when he got Marshall Holman’s autograph at the 1978 U.S. Open. He wapls to bring to the PBA Tour the same type of emotion and intensity as Holman..

Old fashioned success for new freshman coach

By Carolyn M. HartkoSports Writer

John Harding couldn’t have had a better introduction to the South Brunswick girls basketball program.

In his first season with the girls freshman team, he led the squad to a 14-7 record, and gave 12 girls a taste of success at the start of their high school careers.

“ It was my first year coaching, and I couldn’t ask for a better group of

GIRLS HOOPSkids to start with,” Harding said. "They worked hard and they had a very good attitude. They’re just super kids, and I hope I can have a group like that every year.”

Getting used to the fact that your whole team changes each year is probably one of the hardest parts of being a freshman coach. But Harding knew his role was to pass his kids up the ladder with a grounding in the fundamentals.

“ I wanted to teach them the game from the ground up,” Harding ex­plained. “ Try to break any bad habits that they had. 1 wanted to have a winning season, but I also wanted to be able to play with any team that we • faced, and pretty much we were able to hang with every team we played. We had seven losses, and I think in only two of them we were truly outmatched.”

The freshmen, like the older teams, played m ostly W hite D ivision schools. However, since not all teams in the White had freshman squads, the Vikings sometimes found them­selves up against Group IV schools like Hillsborough to Till out their sc h e d u le . T he H illsb o ro u g h cross-over match provided some of the best action of the season.

In that game, the Vikings were a little dismayed to find themselves facing a squad with two very tall players, 6-1 and 5- 11. The Raiders were up 22-17 by half time, thanks to their big girl who finished with 21 points. But Viking Jessie Bozarth answered with a 22 point, per­formance, and SB pulled off the win 45-42.

“ It was a very exciting game to . watch, and a very nice win for me,” Harding said, “ It was a great game where people played well. Things

Romero hangs toughViking loses close ones in state tourney

By William Jam esSpecial to The Post

ATLANTIC CITY — R icky Romero had never been to Atlantic City before, in a competitive sense.

But he expects to be back.The South Brunswiek High School

Junior made his first appearance in

WRESTLINGthe State Wrestling Tournament at the Convention Center last weekend, and hung around longer than the average tourist.

Competing in the 160-pound weight class, Romero lost a tough, three-point decision in Friday’s quarterfinal round, then won his optening bout in the wrestlebacks. A one-point loss in the second-round wre.stlebacks ended Romero’s im­pressive junior season.

"It was a pretty good experience.” .said Romero, who ended his season with a 28-6 record. “ I’ve been think­ing about it every day since.”

Romero had to eani his trip to Atlantic City the hard way. He was the third-place and final qualifier to advance to the State Tournament from Region 5. then guaranteed himself a spot in Atlantic City with an 11-5 victory over Keith Koehler of Monsignor Donovan in last Tues­day’s State Tournament' opening round at Red Bank Regional High School.

In Friday’s quarterfinal round, Romero battled Region 5 champion Brent McGuincss of Somerville tough, but allowed tex) many early points, and a late rally fell short in the 13-10 loss. Romero had McGuiness cradled m the closing seconds, but did not expose his back for what might’ve been the bout-tying neariall points.

“ 1 guess 1 wasn’t aggressive enough.” said Romero, a Distict 20 champion and runnerup in the Greater Middlesex ’ Conference Tournament/ “ He was so open for shots all the time, and I didn’t take them. I kept

Division title a varsity highlightBy Carolyn M. Hartko

staff photo by John Keating Junior point guard Angela Collins (left) was second on the Vikings inassists, steals and three-point shooting this season.

For any player lucky enough to be part of the 1994-95 girls basketball team at South Brunswick High, iiwill be impossible to look back on this season without thinking “ Division Champs.”. It’s been 15 years since the l-ady Vikes brought home a basketball title, but a 10-2 record in the Greater M iddlesex C onference W hite .Division tied them with South Plain- field for first. Even having to share this one won’t diminish the feeling of accomplishment for head coach John Coppola and his squad.

Coppola had three goals for his team in November make the state tournament, do well in the county tournament, and win the division. ’The last: may have seemed, u little optimistic, but Coppola had a good feeling about his young team and the new alignment in the GMG.

“ With Bishop Ahr moving up to the Red Division this year, it in­creased everyone’s chances in the White of fighing for that division championship,” the coach said. “ 1 knew that South Plainfield was going to be real strong, but I also thought the division was pretty balanced. So, we started the season knowing that we really had a chance to win the title.”

The White Division wasn’t the only thing well balanced this season. The Vikings posted a 16-8 overall

record, up from ,12-10 last year, without having an individual player average double digits. Junior center Liz Stover, who doubled in I f of her 24 ‘games, came close with a nine-point average, lollowcd by Sarah Stout (8 ppg) and Angela Collins (6 ppg). Together, Stover (208), Stout 1195) and C.’ollins (134) accounted for more than half of the team’s total offense (914).

"Our shiKiting percentage was not great from (he flixir.” C’op|X)la ad­mitted. "W e probably should have had at least one, maybe twii players in the double-digit category. Liz should have been in double figures, and Sarah probably could have been. ’I’hat’s something we’ll have to liMik at for next year.”

T he rest of the stats were also distributed evenly among the starting line-up. St()ut,. a senior forward and three year letter winner, led oil the boards, averaging seven rebounds per game. She ranked third in steals (44) and assists (36),

"Sarah really had a very strong season lor us,” Copjxila said. “ She played very.well lor us all around, and she was designated as the captain for her leadership and her varsity experience. She's a player that’ll be tough to replace.’’ _

Co-captain Jen McCullough was tops in the quick hands department.

coming up with 04 steals. Ilie junior guard also led in assists (ItX)) and bliK'kcd shots (.36). and was second to Stout in rebounding, averaging five;. per game. '“j

Collins, the team’s jxmit guard and' co-capiain, was another all around contributor The Viking junior was second in assists (61). steals (47) and’’ three-point shots.

JV squad surpassed expectations with winning seasonBy Carolyn M. Hartko

Sports Writer GiRLS HOOPS

See NEW, Page 17A

Success was contagious this year at South Brunswick High School, where the girls junior varsity basketball squad followed the varsity’s lead to a winning season, finishing 12-8.

“ I wanted to be at least .500,’’ JV coach Jaymee Boehmer said of her preseason hopes for the squad. “ I wanted the girls to learn to work as one unit, and to really team the fu n d a m e n ta ls . We had four freshmen, two of them starting, which was really tough at the begin­ning. But these girls did a great job. ”

Spearheading the offense for the. Vikings this year was sophomore co-captain Katie Basckocki. The 5-11 center averaged eight points and nine rebounds a game. Classmate and co-captain Deidre Crawford backed Basckocki up off the boards, averag­

ing seven a game, Crawford was the team’s third highest scorer with 6 ppg-

“ Katie and De got a lot better, especially working with each other, Boehmer commented. “ It takes a long time to learn post play. Katie improved a lot from the beginning of the season, and she’s a great re- bounder. She picks up just about anything. She worked really well with Dee, but we have to get them not to foul so much. They were always in foul trouble. They’re going to be nice forwards for the varsity some day;”

Janine Constantino was one ol Boehmer’s starting freshman. The coach described her point guard as a quick player who never gives up. She led the team in steals and assists, and had a real knack for dribbling tljrough

a press.The starting guards this season

were junior Michelle Runyon and freshman Kelly Griggs. Griggs was the second highest scorer, averaging 7 ppg, and she developed into the squad’s three-point threat, with five of the big ones to her credit. Runyon was also a major contributor on offense with an average of 6 ppg.

“ Kelly’s an excellent shooter,” Boehmer said.“ And Michelle was one player I had to have in the game. She rebounds well for a guard, and she’s a good shooter also. Michelle kind of calmed the rest of the team down, because she was the oldest one there. It was a really young team, and she was the calming force for those kids.” ■ V, The first guard off the bench was

sophomore Margie - Bozarth, and freshman Tanisha Lyons backed up the forwards. Bozarth had the best

free throw percentage on the team, going 70 percent at the line.

The remaining JV reserves were three sophomores, guards Tammi Soden and Cathy Sclingo, and for­ward Katie Gurry. Sophomore Beth Piotrowski ' and freshman Patrice Springettc were sidelined from mid-season with injuries.

The Vikings faced some stiff com­petition from the top programs in the White Division. SB split with Perth Amboy and North Brunswick this year, but lost twice to only one school; South Plainfield. But their best effort of the season was a cliff hanger win in a crossover match against Spotswood.

“ It was close for the whole game, and we hung in there for four quarters,” Boehmer recalled. “ It was just tough from start to finish, But the girls played together, and we Won by

six. They did a great job." ,A nother high point was the’

five-game winning streak the JV put' together in the middle of the sca-son."; And a tj:am outing to a Rutgers game proved very instructive. ,

“ We got a bus and took the girls to a Lady Knights’ game this year,’’* Boehmer said. “ They couldn’t be-’ lie VC that level of play. They lalkccl about it for a week.’’

The JV tcamValong with the varsi-; ty and frc.shman squads, will close; out the 1994-’95 season with aq awards night next Wednesday, 7:3Q p.m.. Desserts and coffee will be> served in the high school cafeteria for all the playprs and their parents, but the real treat is the positive results iq the Viking program across the board, as varsity, JV, and freshman com-: bined for 42 wins this year. >

A very good year for VikingsBy Rich Fisher

Sports Editor

Elation and pride summed up the feelings of coach Bob “ Kingpin". Kochell toward his South Brunswick High bowling teams this season.

Kochell said “ I was elated beyond belief with the boys team,” that won the Greater Middlesex Conference White Division championship for the first time and “ I-am very proud of the girls team,” that finished 3-16-3 after a 1-21 season its first year, of ex­istence.

“ The difference with the boy's team, as I’ve always said, was the four, five and six bowlers,” Kochell said. “ You know what you’re top three are gonna give you. And we got some help. A lot of times the feam would wait for Brian (Banko) or Dave (Eisenberg) to do it and just sort of coast in on their coattails. But this tiriie the four, five and six guys were banging those 200’s.' ‘.’Tom Stephens- finished; up the

season'very strong and had about three or four 200 games. Brian Plot- nick, Sandy Millinger, B.J. Berns­tein, were all solid.” The Vikes finished 18-5-2 and. had a 12-match unbeaten streak before

BOWLINGlosing the season finale to South Plainfield in the Greater Middlesex Conference Tournament.

"That’s because guys were really picking each other up,” Kochell said, “ Soembody got an open frame, two guys would strike to pick it up. There was a feeling of togetherness on this team. Everybody was rooting for each other.”

Eisenberg led in average with a 210.5 and Banko had a 199.9. They were followed by Frank Gorbe (174.6), Millinger (172.5), Plotnick (168.8), Bernstein (168.3), Stephens (158.2), Dave Schechter (150.9), Joe Moye (L48.5) and Dave Diacik (140.1), V

Eisenberg, Banko, Stephens, Diacik and Moye will all be back next season. '

As for the girls, Kochell said “ They battled all y^ar and were in just about every Tnatch. With any kind of luck, they,, could have been a .500 team, seriously. We had iU- nesses, where we were missing some of our good bowlers, we lost a match by three or four pins. That happened

two or three times'. We lost five matches by less than 20 pins. The girls were there. They made, great strides.

“ They were fun to coach, they enjoyed bowling, they got better each week it seems. Somebody else would do something good each week. Kim Moye is gonna continue bowling in college. Jennifer Cirillo may also. Mary Beth Sodano, who never bowled with us before, came out and was a solid 145 bowler. That was a pleasant surprise.”

Moye led in average at 157.2, followed by Sodano (144.5), Jen Cirillo (143.7), Christine Cirillo (142), Cindy Snedeker (123.7), Mel­anie Dekok (120.8), Jamie Ferran- dino (118.2), Sandy Olynyk (112.4), Joann Wiggins (111.4), Kristen Ericksen (109.4) and Angela Borbely (106.6).

The girls will be ,hit hard by graduation, but Kochell said that “ I’ve been recruiting at Crossroads^ I think we’ll get more kids out because winning is conatagious. They see that the girls made rapid strides and this will permeate throughout the school and other kids will come but because they’ll see that.”

StardomContinue from Page 16A

"I feel that the tour needs more guys like me that get excited because it helps the crowd get more into it*'’ McNccly sa id ."I think people waiii to see the human side. I think they want to sec personalities.Thai’s what I want to sec back in the PBA.”

Which would be fine with the tour. Johnny Campos, the national tour­nament director for the PBA, say.s the game needs an Andre Agassi-type to help build greater interest in bowling.

In the 1970’s and early 1980’s. the PBA had established stars like Earl Anthony, Mark Roth, Ernie Schlcgel and Holman to promote the sport.

' Now, Campos .said; the lour is so deep it’s tougher for players to make names for themselves.

“ We need superstars to promote our game,” Campos said. “ Wc have to be marketable. We. try to entice the good young players to come out and join the PBA Tour, but at the same time, if they come out that makes our tournaments that much stonger and tougher to build superstars.”■ Enter the fist-pumping and ex­citable McNeely.

“ I just try to go out there and be myself,” he said. “ That’s the way 1 am. Off the lanes. I’m pretty much

euhii iiiKl laid back. But on the lanes, I'lii real intense."

IXspiie his 'success, which in­cludes five iop-26 finishes in the eight nalionul louriiaiiients he's entered. McNeely isn't ready to prtH'laim himself a star. N ot: yet. anyway.

“ If I would've won this one. I'd .say 1 was on my way,” he said. "But I've got four more weeks, maybe five, and 1 might just pop up and win one. I'll be back.''

McNeely bowled one of the 13 perfect games during the week. Others to roll 3(X)'s were Kelly Cof- fiiian and Ryan Shafer in the Pro-Am competition in addition to Del Ballard Jr.. Mike Taylor, Eric Walker, Toby Dietz, Hugh Miller, Jess Stayrook, Eric Forkcl, Bob Belmont, Gant and tourney namc.sake Johnny Petraglia.

Petraglia finished 20th in the tour­nament, good for $2,100, despite battling illness. He averaged 225.05 over 42 games;

” l bowled g o o d ,” a hoarse Petraglia .said. "1 was sick all week and never really got a chance to relax.

Little Viking wrestlers finish strong in tourney actionAfter completing their inaugural season with a 6-5

record, the South Brunswick Little Vikings wrestling team finished off with a solid tournament showing.

In the Mid-Jersey Wrestling League Tournament, the Vikes got fourth-place finishes from Garrett Nasdeo, Kyle Nasdeo, John Hilosky and Paul Smith,

A week later, eight Vikes competed in the Metuchen Novice Tournament, with Sean Papp and Ricky Lykes taking gold medals while Danny Klag and Bobby Alessi won bronzes, Papp pinned his first opponent and decisioned his next two, while Lykes decisioned his first foe and pinned the next two. Klag

had two pins, a loss and a decision for third, while Alessi won a decision, lost a decision, then won 17-0 for third. ' .

Danny Rodriguez pinned in his first match before losing his second.

Two of the wrestling Fox brothers represented Crossroads Middle School at the Metuchen Tour­nament. Bruce Fox pinned a heavier opponent in overtime and pinned in the finals for a gold, while Tim Fox took the bronze.

A complete wrap-up of the Little Vikings first season will appear in next week’s Central Post'.

As tired as I felt, Fm really happy that 1 made the top 24.”

Junior bowlers Jennifer Russo of North Brunswick High and Walter Hastings Jr. of East Brunswick beat Petraglia and defending PBA Player of the Year Norm Duke, 468-458, in a doubles challenge match.

The le f t w as a ll r ig h t . A PBA-rccord 18 lefthanders finished in the top 24 and advanced to the match-play finals last week. The total surpassed the previous mark of 16.

Challengers fare wellThe South Brunswick Challengers

travel soccer team kicked off the spring season at the, Meadowlands B ubb le la s t w e e k e n d . T he Challengers allowed just two goals in the tournament while getting goals from, Ryan Stewart, Evan Feinberg and Stephen Feinberg. Other of­fensive pressure was applied by Steven DiPane, Travis Smart and Kevin McDonald. The defense was led by Travis Smith, Jeremy Wong and goalies Philip Kauders and Jay Shilling.

team out,” the coach continued. ‘‘We were about eight kids deep this year with players that were making good solid contributions.”

Avery and Bomheimer are ex­pected to increase their contributions next year, along with Michelle Run­yon and Dcidre Crawford who split their time between the varsity and JV. Felicia Ingram, a junior transfer stu­dent who wasn’t eligible until Febru­ary, will also take on a bigger role next year.

And although awards night for this season is still a week away, the Lady Vikes are already making plans for

next year. Several girls have signed with AAU teams, and others are looking into basketball camps and shootouts. Coppola has been en­couraging them to use the school’s weight room, and is looking forward to the competition in the summer league.

“ It was an enjoyable year,” the coach said. ‘‘We had a good group of kids. I just felt good about this team. They worked hard in practice, and they played very well together. The fact that they are committed to

'basketball and willing to play in the summer is definitely going to make them a stronger team for next year. We’re excited about coming back.”

Continued from Page 16A

were happening, even though it was kind of early in the season to see them running the offense and playing good defense against a clearly bigger, tougher team:”

Bozarth was the team’s most ver­satile player who started as a three guard or small forward, but could really fill in anywhere. She led the team in rebounds, was the second highest scorer with 184 points for the season (7 ppg) and shot 30 percent from the foul line.

Jennifer Halsey was one of three girls who played in every game. (Bozarth and Angela Branche were

the other two). Halsey controlled the floor from the point. She was a tough defender who averaged 4.5 ppg.

Christine Kelly was the starting two guard until an injury sidelined her for the last six games of the season. She had the best free throw percentage on the team, sinking 12 of 29 for 41 percent: Branche, who averaged 12 steals a game, moved up to the starting.five to replace Kelly.

The starting forwards were Larisa Krajewski and Maureen Coleman. Krajewski led the team in scoring with a total of 228 (12 ppg), and she was one of the top rebounders as well. Coleman also played well off the boards, and her defensive skills

got her the job of guarding the opponent’s top scorer. ,

Reserves this year were swing players Kim Hardemon and Melissa Filippone; guards Stella Lui and Kel­ly Kaspryzk; and forwards Jen Cleary and Bavna Gangadharan.

“ It was a great season overall,” Harding added. “ I had a great time doing it. I think the girls learned a lot, and they came a long way. 1 look forward to watching most of them play in the future. I’m glad that they’re freshmen. Well, I’m not hap­py that I won’t have the same group next year, but I’m glad I’ll be able to see them go on to play JV and varsity.”

ANTHONY POOLSNEW JERSEY’S #1 CUSTOM POOL BUILDER

An Anthony Industries Co. Listed on the New York Stock Exchange

Shocks____Continued from Page 1A

Immediately after rounds were , fired, Mrs. Wolf’s husband, Jeffrey,

ran into Mr. Mazza’s office and screamed “ my. wife has been shot.”

“ My assistant called the police and ambulance while I went with him (to the jewelry store). But there was nothing we could do by that point. She was dead,” said the 36-year-oId chiropractor. “ I can’t remember too many of the details. It was like I wasn’t Cognizant of what was hap­pening. I must have been on auto­matic.”

Both Mr. Mazza .and the Wolfs operate businesses in The Kuker Building, a strip mall built by Peter Kuker seven years ago.

“ When the shots rang out,. I thought someone had hit my building (with a vehicle). One salesman thought it was a firecracker while another said , ‘Those arc gun­shots,’ ’’ explained Mr. Kuker, who operates his real estate business out of an office next to the jewelry store.

Police said the shots Mr. Kuker heard came during an exchange of gunfire between Mr. Wolf and Mar-

, quis Anthony Kennon, 31, bf Kansas City, Kan., who reportedly killed Mrs. Wolf.

Afterward, Mr. Wolf reportedly chased the wounded suspect out the dtxtr before returning to help his wife, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

“ He has to be given credit for not firing at the suspect after he fled the store,” said Mr. Kuker, who has operated a local real estate business for 20 years. "He knew he might have mi.s.sed and hit a bystander on Route 27.”

Although nothing was stolen from the store, the shelves appeared to be

empty Tuesday. Through .the win­dows, workers could be seen cleaning its floor.

In the aftermath of robbery attempt 'Tuesday, residents in Franklin Park and South Brunswick were warned by police and a local neighborhood watch group to stay inside and lock their doors during the manhunt.

The possibility that murderers were on the loose struck fear into those who live or work near the store, which is located across the street from Play and Grow Nursery School.

Diane_ Simcox, a' teacher at the school, said she was “ frightful” that the suspects could possibly have taken hostages. ,

“ It’s a .scary situation,” she .said. “ The kids know no fear, but the parents were concerned. And that makes my job harder.” ,

Barry T rogu , a 25 -ycar-o ld Marine, lives in the Brunswick Acres housing development, less than a mile from where the killing occurred.

He .said. it was evident that the police had launched an all- out man­hunt for the suspects.

“ They had dogs from the South Brunswick Canine Unit and a state police helicopter flying around." he said. “ There was no real panic in the neighborhood, but our doors were liKkcd just in case."

Mr. Wolf ■ wasn’t available for comment but his attorney. Steven Satz of North Bninswick. said he was “ very upset.”

"It’s a very tragic episode. We’re trying to respect the press, but right now we can't say anything." he said "It has been rough for him."Tho.se that knew the couple are also

having a tough time coping with their grief.

"Jeffrey came into iny office (W ed n esd a y ) to m a k e som e phoncealls. I lixtked at him and feft like crying," Mr. Kuker said "It's a

MONDfff

senseless killing, without any rhyme or reason. I’m very upset.”

William Smith, who works at . Geometrix hair salon in the Kuker

Building, described the Wolfs as “ honest jewelers.”

“ They were great people. You could go.to their store and know you wouldn’t get ripped off,” he said.

“ (Mrs. Woip "Would help anyone who walked into that store. She will be missed. Jeff must be devastated because she was a very special lady. My heart goes out to him.” .

, Donald Goodman of Riverbend: Drive said he frequently took his wife’s gold necklaces to the Wolfs’ store for repair.

He described them as “ good people” and said h e couldn’t believe what happened.

“ I heard the sirens but thought it was a fire,” said the 71 -yea r-old retired IBM administrator.“ I’m sur­prised something this violent could happen arouhd here. Christ, this is the boondocks,, hot Times Square. The family must be devastated.”

Residents were al.so a bit miffed by the crime itself. Many .said they cpuldn’t understand why the suspects would travel from the Midwest to rob a small jewelry' store' in mral New Jersey.

“ It’s a hard place to get in and out of." Mr. Goodman said of the Kuker Building. "The parking lot is small and there’s a lot of traffic on Route 27. 1 think they took a big chance to come all this way to rob a store like that. And why did (Mr. Wolf) pull a gun while someone had a gun point­ing at his wife's head. It just sounds strange."

An officer o n the scene of the crime agreed.

‘Mt .Sounds very weird to me.” said the cop. who didn’t want his name printed. " I t’s almost too much of a coincidence."

Mr, Smith said he thinks - the. murder will have an impact oh those; who live or work near the store. i

“ People will be aware of it arid; will looking over their shoulders,” hei said. “ After a while we’ll forget, and; then something else will happen to- make us remember. ”

Mr. Smith also said that since the' crime employees at the salon haye; decided to always make sure there are; three to four people bn at one time. ;

“ This happened in broad day-! light,” added the 55-year-old hair.’ stylist. “ I was on my way to the gym, .' sa\t all the police cars and thought! there had beeri a terrible accident.; When I heard what really happened, L couldn’t believe it.” , , ;

But one of Mr. Wolf’s neighbors,'a; retired police officer, said the murder; only proved that society is going; downhill. > ;

“ 1 was just sitting down to watch; O J. when I heard about this. It’s; horrible but it’s only a sign of the ; times,” said the elderly man, who ■ requested anonymity. “ A crime like; this shows you just how badly pur - moral values have deteriorated. And f ! can’t see it getting any bettei;.” -

TowersContinued from page 1A

'The team's third teammate, Paul Strinco.ski. .said making the tower wa.s not difficult.

After all the teams had made their towers, Mr. Lavalva made a tally on the chalkboard of how high the structure.s were. The structure.s ranged from 30 inches to 36 inches tall.

He wrote down the inch counts, but immediately erased them.“ It’s not a competition against

each other, .so I don’t care about thc.se numbers," he said. “ What I care about arc the towers,’’

Mr. LaValva had the students examine each team’s tower and comment on what type of tower worked best.

“ They usually start thicker on the bottom and work their way up like the Empire State Building,” he said.

The students noted that some towers were made from tight rolls, like the Indian Fields team’s tower, while others were made from loose rolls.

“ The ones that arc looser arc; stronger, because it has a bigger ba.se,” Constable School student Kaitlyn Jahrling said.

The teams were then given five! newspapers each, and were told to make self-standing newspaper "houses” that a team member could get into.

Very early on,' the “ house” from the Grcenbrook team took on the shape of a tccpcc.“ We went to sec Indians,”

G rcenbrook s tu d en t D em os Kazamias said. “ We saw inside how they have sticks coming up, and we thought that would be a good idea.”

The Grcenbrook students formed the tccpcc by draping newspaper sheets over a structure made with poles made of tightly-rollcd news­paper. .

Rucha Vankudre and her Bnins-. wick Acres team used inserts from the newspapers as a base for their tccpcc. ■'.

“ Those are flat and thcy’ll'hold the weight,” the student said.

Amanda DcNapoli and her team-, mates from Cambridge School switched from a square structure to a tccpcc when they saw how well it was working for the other groups..

"Wc decided to change what we're doing to make it work bet­ter,” she said. "We're really get­ting ideas out to sec what works best.” .

At the end, all groups were successfu l in bu ild ing their, “ houses.” Almost all groups had decided to go with a tccpcc-likc, structure.

Mr. LaValva explained that the tccpccs seemed to, work best be­cause of the teepee’s triangular structure.

"A triangle is real solid, because if you stand it up, it’s not going anywhere, because all the press­ure’s going in,” he said.
