A GREATER MEDIA COMPANY

By Matt Kaiafat

H AZLET — M atthew N o la n , 28, o f Marlboro, one of three shooting victims in a drive-by shooting incident at 6 a.m. Satur­day on Route 35, recounted the incident Monday from his room at Bayshore Com­munity Hospital, Holmdel.

Nolan was a backseat passenger in the car driven by Mitchell Knauf, 23, o f Marlboro. Richard Koffer, 22, o f Manalapan, was also in the back seat when the shooting occurred. Knauf s girlfriend, who has only been iden­t ified as a 31-year-old resid en t o f Old Bridge, was seated in the front passenger

t seat.Knauf and Koffer also suffered bullet

wounds. Koffer is being treated at Bayshore, and Knauf, the most seriously injured, at

' Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, New Brunswick.

The dispute took place between the three ' local men, who occupied a Nissan wagon,

and four occupants o f another car, probably an early 1980s, four-door Honda, said No-

| lan.According to Nolan, the dispute took

place like this:Nolan and Koffer were sleeping in the

back seat o f the Nissan, Knauf was driving, and Knauf s girlfriend, whose name has not been released, was in the front passenger seat. The group had spent the night at the Birch Hill Nightclub, Old Bridge, and were on their way home after driving another

. friend to his Middletown home.They were stopped at the Holmdel Road

light when the Honda pulled next to them,! Nolan said, noting that the passengers in the

Honda began hurling insults at Knaufs girlfriend and then at Knauf. (According to Hazlet Detective Capt. Jay Fetherston, they

I were actually stopped at the Bethany Road intersection.) One of the Honda’s passen­gers got out o f the car and approached the N issan and, reaching in to the N issan , started punching Knauf.

Nolan and Koffer were awakened when Knaufs girlfriend began screaming. By that point, Knauf and the Honda passenger were fighting in the street, Nolan said.

According to Nolan, he got out o f the car, as did another person from the Honda. Nei­ther fought, as the second Honda passenger said, “Just let them (Knauf and the first Honda passenger) fight. Just let them fight.”

Nolan, while watching the fight, then was struck on the back o f his shoulders with a lead pipe by a third passenger from the Honda, Nolan said, adding that he spun around, wrestled the pipe from the man and pinned him up against a car.

Realizing that Nolan had gained posses­sion of the pipe, the three Honda occupants retreated back to their car, Nolan said.

According to Nolan, one of the men in the Honda started yelling about the man who took out the pipe, “This guy’s a sicko. He’s got a gun; he’ll shoot you.”

Nolan and his friends then got in their car and proceeded north on Route 35.

“We didn’t want to get into any more trouble; we just wanted to get out of there,” Nolan said.

Approximately 500 feet up Route 35, the Honda pulled behind the Nissan and one o f the Honda passengers began shooting at it with a 9mm handgun, Nolan said. The back w in dow was shattered , and the H onda pulled alongside the N issan and began shooting through the side window.

“The bullets seemed like they were whiz­zing by my head, and then I saw the hole in Mitch’s back,” Nolan said. “It was just un­believable.”

Nolan said Knauf, who was driving the car, began yelling, “I can’t move my legs; I can’t move my legs.”

Knaufs girlfriend put the car in neutral, and Nolan and Koffer directed the car, which had been traveling at about 60 mph, into the divider to slow it down. It nearly flipped over before Nolan and Koffer suc­cessfully steered it to the side o f the road.

Nolan and Knaufs girlfriend got out of the car and began waving cars- down. No one stopped at first, until a couple eventual­ly pulled over and took the group to the hospital, Nolan said. Later on Saturday, Knauf was taken by helicopter to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital.

Nolan had been shot in the back of the shoulder and the bullet lodged in the front part of his left arm. “I didn’t even know I had been shot until I was trying to wave cars down. I reached behind my back and felt all this blood. We were all in shock, but we just kept talking to each other, trying to remain calm,” Nolan said.

Nolan is 1982 graduate of Madison Cen­tral High School, Old Bridge, and spent six years in the Naval Reserves. Knauf is a drummer in the local band, Mercy Circle.

Hazlet cops seek gunmanBy Marilyn Duff ________________

HAZLET — Shades o f a Los Angeles freeway shooting colored the early morning hours in Hazlet Saturday, as an argument between occupants o f two cars traveling north on Route 35 erupted into violence.

The driver and two male passengers in one o f the cars were injured when multiple shots were fired from the second car. A fourth unidentified female passenger in the first car, a Nissan wagon, escaped injury.

The shooting occurred shortly before 6 a.m. between the intersections at Holmdel and Bethany roads, according to Hazlet D e­tective Capt. Jay Fetherston. It was pre­ceded by an altercation at the Bethany inter­section, when some o f the occupants o f both cars got out o f their cars and began to fight.

According to an account given Monday by Matthew Nolan, 28, o f Marlboro, one of the three shooting victims in the Nissan, the incident started when occupants o f the sec­ond car started taunting the woman passen­ger in his car.

This erupted into a street fight in which one o f the four men from the second car struck him with a lead pipe, and another occupant of the second car cautioned that the man with the lead pipe was a “sicko” and had a gun. After the fight broke up and the driver of the Nissan car proceeded north toward Holmdel Road, someone in the sec­ond car began shooting at the Nissan, shat­tering the rear window and firing through a side window, according to Nolan.

Police and the Monmouth County Pros­ecutor’s Office are searching for the four men, all. o f whom Nolan described as being between age 25 and 30. After the shooting, they reportedly fled east toward Route 36 in Keyport.

The driver o f the Nissan, Mitchell Knauf, 23, o f Marlboro Township, was the most seriously injured. He was airlifted by heli­copter to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, New Brunswick. According to N o­lan, Knauf was shot in the back and as he tried to drive away from the shooting scene, he lost feeling in both legs. His condition Tuesday was upgraded from serious to fair, accprding to a hospital spokesperson.

Richard Koffer, 22, o f Manalapan, was also .injured in the melee. Both he and N o­lan were being treated at Bayshore Commu­nity Hospital, Holmdel, and were in satis­factory condition Tuesday, according to a hospital spokesperson.

Nolan, who sat in the back o f the car behind the 31-year-old female passenger, was shot in the back o f his shoulder and the bullet lodged in the front part o f his left arm, he said Monday in recounting the inci­dent. He was scheduled for surgery Tues­day, the hospital spokesperson said.

Koffer, who sat on the driver’s side in the back seat, was struck twice, according to Nolan, in the left side and the right shoul­der.

Nolan said the suspects were driving an early 1980s, four-door Honda. The prosecu­tor’s office said the car had New Jersey plat­es and was dark colored, possibly maroon, but that might have been a Toyota Corolla.

Fetherston Tuesday referred all questions to the prosecutor’s office, which declined to provide further details. Fetherston did say composites o f the suspects were being devel­oped. He also revealed that it was an area first aid squad member on the way to work who aided the victims and took them to Bayshore Hospital. „__- •— *

Fetherston indicated 'Tne'^shooting took place “probably right in front” o f the Hazlet Manor Care Center, which is located just east o f the Holmdel Road intersection.

The following Hazlet officers responded to the shooting: Detective Sgts. John Mul­lins and Michael Broderick and Patrolmen Robert Cullen, Kevin Leonard, Glen Houri- han, Glenn Mason and James Murphy.

EDITORIALS

QEA needs overhaul - nowSchools in Hazlet, in Matawan-

Aberdeen and especially in Middletown are getting the rawest of raw deals from the state, and it is the children in those districts who will ultimately suffer.

The state’s controversial Quality Education Act was proposed initially to help equalize state funding over the more than 600 school districts in the state. The idea - a good, necessary one - was to assure that students in urban and poorer areas receive the same chance at a good education as those in suburban and wealthier districts.

But this clearly is not happening.Perusing the state aid figures for

next year, we see that Middletown, a large, economically diverse district which includes students from all over the socioeconomic map, is taking a 27 percent cut in aid for next year. In fact, Middletown will effectively get no help from Trenton to run its schools except the aid for handicapped students, transportation, bilingual education and other programs which all districts in the state receive.

In reaction, Middletown school officials are considering closing two or three schools, laying off up to 100 teachers, discontinuing some programs and eliminating most busing in the district.

Looking over the figures a bit more, we find that Rumson, a small, exclusive town with enormous

FOR THE RECORDAn automobile accident that took the life

of Middletown High School North student Brian P. Brustowicz occurred on Cooper Road near Luftburrow Lane. This informa­tion was incorrect in last week’s edition. Police told the Independent that the acci­dent was probably caused by the excessive speed o f the car driven by Brustowicz. Bar­ney Welch, 70, the driver of the pickup truck that collided with the car driven by Brustowicz, is in guarded condition at Riv­erview Medical Center, Red Bank.

Alan Karmin, a sports writer for the Inde­pendent, has dropped charges against Key­port resident William Quinn. The charges of making terroristic threats stemmed from an incident at the conclusion o f a girls’ basket­ball game at Keyport High School on Jan. 10. Borough residents Richard and Barbara Hassmiller brought Karmin and Quinn to­gether last week, and the two men agreed on this course of action.

wealth, will see its total aid increased by 7.2 percent. Here is a list of some other communities in Monmouth County that are receiving an increase in state aid from last year to this: Sea Girt, Fair Haven, Spring Lake, Deal, Colts Neck, Allenhurst and Little Silver. These districts are far from needy; in fact, they are the most wealthy towns in the county, and every one is receiving an increase in the amount of money they receive in aid to help pay for their schools, while middle-income districts like Neptune City, Ocean Township, Tinton Falls, Hazlet and Eatontown have all been substantially cut.

While Middletown officials fight to avoid layoffs and school closings, Allenhurst officials presumably are trying to find ways to spend their more than 20 percent increase.

New state Sen. Joseph Kyrillos, a resident of Middletown, has proposed that money from another state aid fund be put aside to augment the loss in state aid for this coming school year to Middletown, Matawan- Aberdeen and other middle- and mixed-income districts. This emergency measure appears to be necessary for the short term.

In the long run, however, the system needs to be overhauled. The QEA is a flawed piece of legislation that appears to do the opposite of what is intended.

The Legislature should throw it out and start over.

LETTERSDon’t lay off cops

I am writing this letter from two different standpoints. In one sense, I am looking at this situation from a policeman’s point of view, and in the other sense, as a taxpayer, because I am both.

The Union Beach Police Department is currently in contract negotiations with the mayor and council. I am on the negotiating committee as an officer and member o f the Police Benevolent Association Local 291.. When we began negotiations six months ago, we were told that the borough attorney, Bob Thaler, was the sole negotiator for the borough. At our very first meeting, he asked us to stay out o f the newspapers with any problems. I recently found out why.

Whenever we had a negotiation meeting, Mr. Thaler kept having to go back to the

mayor and council to see if he could nego­tiate this item or that item. When we asked him to invite the council’s Police Commit­tee to sit in on one o f our meetings, no one came. They still claimed no involvement in negotiating.

Recently, our contract expired. It has been past practice to continue the present contract until a new one is settled. Well, that is not what is happening. The mayor and council recently passed a resolution or­dering the chief to change our work sched­ule. Once we spoke to reporters from the local newspapers about this, Mayor Carmen Stoppiello stated that they would abide by a judge’s ruling if he ruled in our favor, and said he hoped we would do the same if the judge ruled in their favor. We agreed. End of argument? Wrong.

Word has reached our attorney that if we win the right to keep our schedule, there will be layoffs in the department. To me, this is a dirty, sneaky way o f playing politics, with both the police officers’ lives and the protec­tion o f the lives and property o f the resi­dents o f Union Beach at stake.

The past year has seen a record number of burglaries and thefts within the borough. We recently charged two men in connection with some o f these burglaries. There was also a shooting o f a juvenile. Someone was arrested and charged with that crime, also. On Jan. 16, there was another theft o f a food truck in Union Beach. One person was ar­rested and charged. On Jan. 17, there was another attempted theft o f a vehicle, where the person tried to steal more than $600 worth o f radio equipment. The person was arrested and charged and had in his posses­sion burglary tools, a police scanner and police frequencies for different towns so that he could monitor the department o f the town he was in, in case it received a call about him.

It would seem to me that the last thing we need is police layoffs. And we were told this

is what would happen if we won, through arbitration, the right to keep our schedule. This is a terrible way to negotiate.

As citizens, we realize as a department how important it is to become involved within the community where you work. We currently have two members involved in some way with the Union Beach Drug Alli­ance. One officer is a volunteer fireman. We also have ex-first-aiders and a former mem­ber o f the Union Beach Planning Board.

As for me, I served three years as presi­dent of the Union Beach Little League and am entering my 13th year as a manager in the League, I have served on the Recreation Commission and other boards. The mayor and council seem to think we make too much money. Well, I can’t tell you the num­ber of times I and other officers have left our wives and children to help someone and not get paid for it. This includes the mayor, who needed help with fingerprints after his store was broken into. I didn’t receive one dime for that.

But we do this not just for the money but because we enjoy our jobs and want to help people. We are available anytime for any­one who needs our help.

The mayor and council never mention the times we don’t get paid. I am now reach­ing out to you once again for your help. I urge you to attend the next council meeting at 8 p.m. Jan. 30. Please speak up for your local police and let the mayor and council know that you, the community, support us. Ask them to stop the threat o f layoffs, either personally or masked as an option through their attorney.

I am very proud to work with every single member o f this Police Department, and we are all proud to work for the residents o f Union Beach.

Residents list flu remediesBy Mark Rondeau_____________________

Have you or anyone you know had the flu this winter, and what do you think is the best remedy for it?

Jim Granville, HOLMDEL: We haven’t had it in our family. I don’t know what the cure is.

Janet Felice, MIDDLETOWN: I know plenty o f people who have had it. I haven’t had it though. Plenty o f rest is what (people with the flu) seem to need.

Frank Fletcher, HAZLET: I’m 78 years old, and I don’t think flu shots are nec­essary. I never had a flu shot until four or five years ago, and it made me very sick. I’ve never been diagnosed as having the flu;I had pneumonia once. I’ve know other se­nior citizens who’ve gotten sick from the flu sh o ts . I f y o u ’re a lle r g ic to eg g s , you shouldn’t get the vaccine.

Denise Delaney, ABERDEEN: I had the flu last week. I had it for three days. I stayed in bed, drank fluids and took aspirin - Tyle­nol actually. Basically, I just rested. That’s pretty much it.

Michael Schwartz, MATAWAN: I know some people who’ve had it, yes. The best remedy is Vitamin C.

Joyce Schnoor, MIDDLETOWN: Well, we have been blessed; we haven’t had the flu this winter. I did get a flu shot. We both had flu shots, my husband and I. We both had flu shots on our doctor’s recommendation.

Debra Shapiro, MIDDLETOWN: Well, yes, a few people have had it in my family. With the flu, about the only thing you can do is rest, take aspirin and drink fluids, and it just takes time (to go away).

Linda Siano, ABERDEEN: My daughter is going through it right now. I’ve been treating it with rest, cough medicine and plenty o f juice.

Pat Sickles, UNION BEACH: I have no idea. Nobody I know has had it yet. I think the best thing for it is to sleep. Actually one o f my sons had a fever but no other symp­toms. He slept a lot for three days. I gave him Nyquil. .

Mary Ann Simmons, ABERDEEN: N o­body. So far, nobody I know has had the flu this winter.

Paige Sinclair, MIDDLETOWN: I know people who have had the flu, sure. People who have it should rest, drink a lot o f liq­uids and some people should look into get­ting a flu shot beforehand. Certain popula­tion groups should look into getting the flu shot beforehand. Also, nutrition is always important. I’m a nursing student.

Phyllis Singer, MIDDLETOWN: Well, we all had the flu, and we took Theraflu, and that seemed to work. That’s about it.

Deborah Slater, CLIFFWOOD: Yes, my sister-in-law had it. I think the best thing is prevention, don’t overdo it, eat healthy and take vitamins, building up your immune system. You should build up your immune system when you have the flu and once it’s over, or else you’ll end up getting it again.

Arlene Whalen, MIDDLETOWN: Yes, we had the flu in our family. I think the best remedies are rest and fluids.

Patricia W ise, ABERDEEN: Believe it or not, our family missed it. We just had a cold and a sore throat. My daughter’s been healthy. If at all possible, people should stay home and not expose other people to it, which is nearly impossible in this day and age.

Clark Wolverton, MATAWAN: N o, I don’t know anybody who has gotten the flu this year. The best remedy is not to get it. An ounce o f prevention is worth a pound o£— cure.

Lilyan McGuirk, MATAWAN: Yes, I’ve had the flu. I think the remedy is plenty of sleep and lots o f orange juice. That was my cure.

Ann Denton, MIDDLETOWN: Yes, my family has had the flu. The best remedies seem to be Tylenol and going to bed. Mostly it’s the going to bed. That’s about it.

Book creates confusion about houseBy Marilyn Duff

M IDD L ETO W N - The G eorgian- style William Murray house, set far back from Kings Highway near the intersec­tion with New Monmouth Road, is at once eye-catching because o f its monmu- mental cedar and evergreen trees.

But because o f an erroneous reference in “The Story o f Middletown,” published in 1927, its history has been confused with that of another property. In addi­tion, there has been confusion about when the earlier west section o f the home was built.

The William Murray house, located at 65 Kings Highway just east o f Old First Church (formerly the Middletown Bap­tist Church), is part o f the Middletown Village Historic District, which in 1974 was listed on the National Register o f Historic Places and is significant as one o f the oldest permanent English set­tlements in New Jersey.

The house, however, has been con­fused with the Joseph Murray farmhouse at Poricy Park and has been thought to have been built in 1780. William Murray (1772-1834) was Joseph Murray’s son and, according to research by the Poricy Park Citizens Committee, did not ac­quire the Kings Highway property until 1815. In a Poricy Park History Series, Joseph Murray is said to have settled in Middletown about 1767 and, while on a brief leave from the Monmouth County Militia in 1780 to plant a crop at his farm, w as sla in by lo c a l B r itish L o y a lis ts aroused by his exploits on behalf o f the patriots. Both father and son are buried at Old First Church.

In his 1927 book about early Middle­town, Ernest W. Mandeville relates that at the rear o f his Kings Highway home, Wil­liam Murray operated a store and ran the local post office. He served as a trustee for the M iddletow n Baptist Church from 1826 until his death.

The William Murray house was pur­chased by its present owners, Margo and Joseph Kyrillos, in 1972.

“I used to pass this house, and I liked it,” Mrs. Kyrillos said during a recent vis­it. She liked it so much, she recalled, she would say to her children, “Let’s go see m y h ou se .” Her husband, m eanw hile, thought she was “out of my mind,” she said.

She says she was just being silly, but tiien one evening she learned that the fol­lowing day the property was scheduled to

go on the market. “The thing that sold us,” she said, “was all the beautiful cedar trees.”

Mrs. Kyrillos offered a hint as to when the house may actually have been con­tracted. The attic beams on the older side o f the house (defined by the three sym­metrical second-story windows), she said, are carved with the words “finis 1810 or 1811.” Also, from what she has been told by carpenters who have worked on the house, she believes the older section was originally one story and the roof was later raised.

According to Mrs. Kyrillos, the numer­ous owners in this century have all loved the home and most have come back to visit at one time or another.

“It’s solid as a rock,” she says, noting all who touched it were careful to retain the original characteristics. Because o f that, she said, it is expensive to maintain.

The house has seven fireplaces and ev­ery room has a special character, she said. She has attempted to furnish it “in keep­ing with the house” and acquired some period furniture.

Her four children, the oldest o f whom

is state Sen. Joseph Kyrillos Jr., consider the William Murray house part o f their family. While away at school, after asking about family members, the senator would add, “How’s the house?” she said.

The house remained in the Murray fam­ily until 1880, then passed through a suc­cession o f owners. The property, part o f a 17 th century patent to prominent Middle­town settler Richard Hartshome, at one time stretched to Route 35 and beyond. After a 1960 subdivision, Mrs. Kyrillos said it was reduced to its present 3.07 acres.

The house was sold in 1880 to Charles Coudert and then in 1904 to Morris Greenwood, who moved it back from the road to its present location. Both Coudert and Greenwood owned other Middletown properties.

According to Mrs. Kyrillos, subsequent owners were: Edward P. Dangler, 1927; the Steuerwald family, 1929; Carl C. Mc- Roberts, who it named it the Darry Boy Farm, 1949; a Mr. Conway, 1960; and finally, Tony Bush, who bought it at auc­tion in 1969 and sold it three years later to the Kyrillos family.

Traditional family vacationMy First-born Son and his fiancee joined

the Love o f My Life and me last week for a vacation in Nassau. This annual event gives us an opportunity to get reacquainted with our children.

Long ago, our kids decided that they were too old to go on vacation with their parents. That decision was made just at the time that the Love o f My Life and I concluded that we no longer needed a vacation to get away from the kids, who were all emancipated. Motor Mouth was married, and the First­born Son lives 3,000 miles away.

“It would be nice,” I said to the Love of My Life, “if we all could go somewhere to­gether once a year.”

“It will never happen,” she said. “They’re not interested in spending their vacation with us old folks.”

But she underestimated the power of the dollar. I wouldn’t go so far as to say our First-born Son is cheap. There is no doubt in my mind, however, that a search of his apartment would turn up the first quarter I gave him as a weekly allowance.

M otor M outh lik es to spend m oney. Make that loves to spend money. But Motor Mouth jumps at any opportunity to earn money, because she knows that money earned is money that can be spent.

Our First-born Son regards work with the same enthusiasm that he regards AIDS: It is to be avoided at all cost. When he finished school and began looking for employment, he inevitably was attracted to help-wanted ads that contained basically the same job description. They all required him to wear a suit, carry an attache case and work short hours, and they all promised to pay him a minimum of $50,000 a year. Within a few months, he figured out that virtually all o f these jobs involved selling encyclopedias, insurance or vaccuum cleaners. That was when he joined the Navy.

Four years later, when he was discharged,

he had saved almost all o f the money he had been paid by the Navy. I never have been able to figure out how he managed to do that, and he never volunteered an explana­tion.

It was clear, however, that if we wanted to entice him to spend one week o f vacation with us, the most effective appeal would be to his pocketbook. So, several years ago, the Love o f My Life and I purchased a time- share in Nassau, a unit large enough to ac­commodate six people.

“You pay your air fare and incidentals,” we told the kids. “The accommodations cost you nothing.”

Ever since, a family vacation has become a tradition. The first year, we all went to dinner together the first night, and I picked up the check. Then, we went to the casino, and we all won. The second night, we went to dinner again.

“We have to do everything the same as we did last night,” our First-born Son said. “Otherwise, we’ll jinx ourselves for the casi­no.”

I picked up the check again. In fact, hav­ing Dear Old Dad pick up the check became a tradition.

Last week, we observed tradition the first night, but the casino didn’t cooperate. We lost. Tradition failed us the rest o f the week, too. But on the last night, our First-born son’s fiancee insisted that he pick up the dinner check. That night, all four o f us walked away from the casino winners.

It will be interesting to see if a new tradi­tion has been bom.

H azle t to m ake splash over Colum bus’ vo ya g etling in Spain, he called himself Cristobal Colon. In 1506, the remarkable adventurer went to his grave never realizing that, in­stead o f making landfall somewhere in the East Indies, he had discovered a brand new continent hitherto unknown to Europeans o f the day.

Three hundred years elapsed before Americans, in 1792, celebrated Columbus’ discovery o f America. They commemorated it again in 1892 — and finally, in 1920, designated Oct. 12 Columbus Day. In 1971, the day was changed to the second Monday in October.

This year, it’s noteworthy that the second Monday falls on Oct. 12.

But for those who enjoy such events, it seems that, at least to date, relatively little has been made o f America’s first-ever quin- cen ten n ia l celeb ration — a m ere eight months away.

A major part o f the celebration, it ap­pears, will take place in the summer with tall ships sailing into New York Harbor.

But what about the Bayshore? There didn’t seem to be much planned to com­memorate such a momentous anniversary.

Then I learned about a special parade and festival being planned in the parade capital of the area: Hazlet.

The folks o f Hazlet, it turns out, are plan­ning what they expect to be their biggest, most magnificent parade ever. And it will be held Oct. 10, the Saturday before the anniversary o f America’s discovery. The rain date is Oct. 11.

It will be o f such a size that planning actually began last summer, according to Recreation Director Barbara Ronchetti.

One o f the main features o f the parade will be floats, whose theme must relate to Columbus’ discovery o f America.

“Can you see the Santa Maria floating down Middle Road?” asked Ronchetti, try­ing to visualize such a remarkable sight.

While things are still in the planning stages, said Chairwoman Maria Vignola, she did offer a preview o f what’s to come. Vi­gn o la b ecam e in v o lv e d w hen sh e ap ­proached the Recreation Commission with the idea o f having a St. Patrick’s Day pa­rade.

The official name will be Hazlet Colum­bus Day Parade and Festival, and there will be contests galore.

One o f the more unusual will ask children to put on their thinking caps about what Columbus might have said when he first set foot in America - kind o f like the astronaut

who set foot on the Moon, but on the hu- merous side.

“We want it to be funny,” said Vignola.At the conclusion o f the parade, which

like other township parades will begin at Airport Plaza, Route 36, and wind its way down Middle Road to Veterans Park, Vi­gnola envisions winners o f the contest being asked to come to the grandstand and read their responses.

There will be a model ship contest, Ron­chetti added, and a “Design a T-shirt” con­test. The tiny Ninas, Pintas and Santa Mari­as will be displayed at the festival.

For the festival portion o f the day, Vigno- lia has already arranged to have rides and a dunk tank. There also will be a fun Olympics for kids, games o f chance, crafts and lots o f food.

The local parent-teacher organizations from both public and parochial schools as well as nursery schools will be invited to make floats for the parade. Organizers also are hoping that neighboring towns will par­ticipate, providing school bands and even floats.

And, o f course, there will be someone dressed as Christopher Columbus himself, and two grand marshals, whose names, for now, are being kept secret.

As Vignolia explained it, this will be sim i­lar to other Hazlet parades, however a “bit more intense.”

Anyone interested in helping is welcome. Volunteers are needed. For information, call the Recreation Center at 739-0653.

Photograph by Rich SchultzFINGERPRINTS, NOT PAINTSBrian Dougherty, sworn in a s new police chief of Aberdeen Tuesday night, sh ow s Ashley Ahlemeyer and Billy Mastorio of the Maple Place Preschool, Keyport, how to fingerprint.

“It is an American tragedy,” Dougherty said. “It affects every phase of society, from the stu d en ts in sc h o o l to p r o fe ss io n ­als — doctors, lawyers, professors. It’s ev­erywhere.”

And in the new chiefs opinion, legalizing drugs will not solve the problem. In fact, it would only make it worse, he feels.

“If you abuse any substance, it directly impacts on your ability to make rational decisions, and the ability to physically react to anything,” he explained. “You lose the ability to think clearly.

“Drug abuse has got to be stopped, no matter what the cost,” he continued. “It im­pacts on so many lives, causes so many tra­gedies. Drugs kill dreams. They take away the quality o f life.”

Drunken driving, which takes the lives of50,000 Americans each year, will be another area o f crime to which Dougherty will give full attention.

“It’s another burden on all of us,” he said. “We’re all out there to do our very best to retaliate.” Part o f being chief means playing the role o f educator in town. Dougherty fre­quently speaks before school groups and or­ganizations on the subject o f law enforce­ment and crime.

And on Friday, he gave a tour o f the se­cret world o f the police force to a group of 10 preschoolers from the Maple Place Pre­school o f Keyport.

As he spoke about crime and punish­ment, Dougherty took the children to the courtroom, the jail cells, the Detective Bu­

reau, the dispatcher’s office, and even the place where the criminal is fingerprinted and his mug shot is taken.

The children were awed by the program and eager to tell the chief their experiences with crime. For instance, one little girl

talked about the time her Christmas lights were stolen off the house.

“We learn about laws and rules which are there for their safety,” said teacher Virginia Bey, Matawan. “Some children are initially frightened by policemen. We teach them that policemen are their friends.”

Auxiliary encourages boating safety

ABERDEEN — Brian Dougherty was of­ficially sworn in as chief o f police Tuesday night. After serving two years in Vietnam, Dougherty, a third-generation police officer (his father and grandfather were also offi­cers), began his career in 1971. He became a member o f the Aberdeen Police Depart­ment in 1979, was promoted to sergeant in 1986, and became deputy chief in 1989. He replaces Chief John McGinty, who retired Jan. 1.

“I love the job, everything about it,” he said. “I don’t have any stresses ... I find them challenges.” Burglary, domestic vio­lence and other crimes will have to be dealt with, but one o f Dougherty’s biggest con­cerns is winning the war against drug abuse.

“We are very fortunate that a number o f our officers have been trained in narcotics, and have used their experience to a great advantage,” he said.

A few of Aberdeen’s policemen have been especially trained to work in different capac­ities in undercover narcotics work. In addi­tion, Aberdeen police officers are involved with the Bayshore Narcotics Task Force, a group comprised o f local communities ac­tive in the fight against drugs.

“We have an outstanding Police Depart­ment,” he added. “They work very hard to serve the residents. They are very dedica­te d .” D ough erty , w ho resid es in tow n, pointed out that Aberdeen isn’t alone in its problems with cocaine, heroin, crack and marijuana. He said there is not a town any-

Coast GuardBy Lauren Jaeger

ABERDEEN — Are you already dream­ing of warmer days when you can take a boat out on the sunny waters?

If so, some people are eager to meet you. Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 2-4, which

meets every fourth Thursday at the Aber­deen Township Municipal Building, spends summer days patrolling Raritan Bay. Dur­ing the winter, they discuss boating, learn how to rescue those in distress, and teach boating safety.

“We give safe-boating courses to adults,

teach water safety to children, and aid boat­ers during the summer,” said Joseph Vereb, flotilla commander. “We give courtesy Ma­rine examinations in the spring and summer to see if the boat passes requirements for safety.”

For the courtesy boat inspections, the flo­tilla members set up a special booth by the water to let boaters know that free boat checks are taking place. If the boats pass the inspection, they are issued stickers. If not, the boaters are advised to have the prob­lems corrected.

During the weekends, the flotilla mem­bers board a civilian boat, usually owned by another member, and carry out search and rescue missions along Raritan Bay.

Vereb, the owner o f two sailboats, said you need not be a boat owner to take boat­ing safety courses. But to join the auxiliary, it is preferable that you own a boat. If you are not a boat owner, it is necessary that you have skills that the auxiliary could use in rescue missions. “We are out on the water every weekend in the summer,” Vereb said.

Robert Dougherty, vice commander, said that the patrols save at least two or three lives every summer, and probably several million dollars in property.

“In 1990, there were 267 patrols, and 26 rescue missions,” he said. “The 1991 figures have not been reported yet.

“We have nothing to do with law enforce­ment,” Dougherty added. “There are the Marine Police and the Coast Guard for that. Occasionally, we’ll even board Marine Po­lice and Coast Guard boats to see if they’re in compliance with safety regulations.”

The patrols are scheduled in four-hour shifts, beginning early in the morning and ending about midnight. Even bad weather does not deter these boat enthusiasts.

“There are those people who go out on a

nice, sunny morning and then suddenly find themselves in the middle o f a rainstorm,” said Dougherty. “O f course, we don’t wind up cruising the bay in idiotic weather, but we are still on patrol,” he added. In Raritan Bay, there are 25 marinas, each with 100 to 200 boats at the dock. On a beautiful day, most o f these boats are in operation, keep­ing the Coast Guard Auxiliary busy.

During the Fourth o f July, the auxiliary members supply New York City’s spectator fleet with approximately 300 assistant ves­sels and crew to help manage the tall ships in the bay. The 10-week, free safe-boating course will be offered by the Coast Guard Auxiliary at the Keyport High School. The first class is scheduled to run at 7 p.m. Feb. 25. Each o f the 13 classes will last about two hours.

In order to join the local auxiliary, it is preferable to own at least 25 percent o f a boat, aircraft or marine radio station.

“Or perhaps you have a special skill that the Coast Guard Auxiliary can make use of,” said Dougherty, the owner o f a 28-foot motorboat. Dougherty and Vereb are resi­dents o f Aberdeen Township, but members, which total 20, could live anywhere at all in the Bayshore. J

The Coast Guard Auxiliary, which has a national district, is governed by the United States Coast Guard. All members receive the national magazine, “The Navigator.”

“You meet an incredible cross section of people,” Dougherty said. “There are doc­tors, lawyers, computer programmers, etc. All professions and occupations are rep­resented.” Members o f the local auxiliary will be at the boat show at Monmouth Park Saturday, Feb. 15 and Sunday, Feb. 16.

“We’ll be there,” Vereb said. “We’ll be handing out literature. Wherever there’s a boat, that’s where we are.” To join, call Ve­reb at 566-9134 or the national hotline at 1­800-368-5647.

High school library fights theft with alarm systemTagging thousands of books is long, tedious choreBy Lauren Jaeger

ABERDEEN — A new and expensive alarm system may save books from being stolen, but at least one Matawan Regional High School student is questioning whether or not it was money well spent.

The detector system, installed late last month at the cost o f $6,300, is the same system that is used throughout the Mon­mouth County Library System. If students do not check out a book, a loud buzzer sounds as they try to exit the high school library.

Mark Kriegel, a senior, brought his con­cern to the Board o f Education at the Jan. 13 meeting, explaining that he felt that money would have been better spent else­where in fiscally tight years. He mentioned that the equipment was not working, either.

The system does work, according to offi­cials, but it is far from being completed. A piece o f magnetic tape has to be inserted into each o f the 25,000 library books. The school librarian and a secretary have been tagging the books during the school day, since there is no money in the budget at present for overtime pay.

“It’s a tedious job,” admitted Michael Klavon, deputy superintendent. '

So far, very few o f the books have been equipped with the tape, and, as a result, many volumes can still be sneaked out o f the library without the loud buzzer sound­ing at the doorway.

Officials are defending the detector, con­tending that it will pay for itself intwo to four years.

“The purpose is to prevent pilfering,” said Klavon. “Many schools throughout the state have this system.”

Kathleen Eovino, school librarian, didn’t

reveal the number o f books stolen through­out the year but said it was a large sum.

“Two volumes of the latest encyclopedia were stolen,” she said. “They are hard to replace. Sometimes, they are books that are irreplaceable or hard to get. It’s not as much the quantity o f the books, as the quality.”

Other books most likely to disappear in­clude those being used by several classes that are studying the same subject at the same time, books on rock music and sports, and books on popular term-paper subjects, such as child abuse, gun control and capital punishment, Eovino said.

“I want to make sure that the things that are desired and needed are here for them,” she said. “It’s disheartening when students go to the shelves in search o f a volume and find it’s not there.”

Eovino said that some students have complained about the system but for the most part, they are impressed with it.

“Students have asked, ‘Why would any­one take a library book?’ ” she said.

“I have told them that my book report days are over, and that they are the ones who should be upset when the books are stolen,” Eovino said. “The students like that approach.”

In addition, the library has computer hardware and software, projectors, tapes, filmstrips, and videotapes. Also, the library has 12 television sets that can be signed out as well.

“We’ll probably tag them also,” said Eo­vino, although it’s highly unlikely that any televisions would be smuggled out o f the library, especially since they are stored in a back room.

Eovino would like to see the tagging proc­ess move further along, but this is difficult to accomplish because she is occupied with several classes throughout the school day.

“I totally underestimated the time it took to do this,” she said. “I’m not Superwoman, and it’s a slower process than we thought.”

In any case, Eovino does not expect the theft rate to be eliminated.

“Things do disappear,” she stressed. “It is a fact o f life. But we want to keep this fact to a minimum.”

H AZLET

Booster president gives his all for Raritan teamsHazlet man active in high school and communityBy Marilyn Duff

HAZLET — Someone recently referred to Joe DeVirgilio as “Mr. Hazlet.”

In the halls o f Raritan High School, espe­cially in the vicinity o f the gymnasium and weight room, he’s known as “Mr. D .”

“Some kids think I’m a coach, but I’m not,” said DeVirgilio during an interview in the high school cafeteria — just down the hall from the weight room — in an attempt to find out just who this “Mr. Hazlet” really is.

DeVirgilio has been president o f the Rari­tan High School Booster Club since it was organized back in 1967. That was a special year because his son’s freshman football team th a t year w en t u n d e fe a te d and unscored upon.

Richard has long since graduated, as have DeVirgilio’s other seven children. He now follows the exploits o f the next generation o f DeVirgilios, 14 grandchildren in all, four o f whom are currently playing sports at Rari­tan.

But he’s not just involved with sports.DeVirgilio moved his family to Hazlet

from Jersey City in 1957 when his five older children were ages 1 to 5. The oldest went to school in Rumson, he recalled, because there was no kindergarten in Hazlet at the time.

A resident of Union Avenue, his first in­volvement with the community was as pres­ident o f the Raritan Ridge Homeowners’ Association. “I like to do things to help peo­ple,” he said, adding he was always fortu­nate enough to have the opportunity.

From that point on, he said he has always been involved with just about everything that goes on in town.

In 1973, DeVirgilio won election on the Democratic ticket to the Township Com­mittee. He lost a re-election bid in 1976 to Mary Jane Wiley who, he remembered, had to pinch herself to believe she had beaten him.

The big controversy at the time was the Village Green way multifamily development on Beers and Clark streets. DeVirgilio fa­

vored the development, thinking it would provide needed housing for Hazlet’s young adults.

“(I) always advocated a place for kids - where they could reside in town,” he said. As it turned out, the development was built, but by the time it was finished, the prices had skyrocketed, DeVirgilio said, to the point where young people could not afford to live there.

DeVirgilio was also vice chairman o f the committee which researched changing the township’s name from Raritan to Hazlet. Now he says he has mixed emotions about whether changing the name was the right thing to do.

T he m o v em en t to change the nam e stemmed from confusion with another Rari­tan and was supported overwhelmingly by residents, DeVirgilio said.

The committee chose the name Hazlet, he said, because the train station already bore that name and a Dr. Hazlet, whose family was the source o f the name, is buried in Hazlet.

The kids, though, didn’t want the name o f the high school changed, DeVirgilio said; thus the high school, to the displeasure o f some residents, retains the name Raritan.

Before being elected to the Township Committee, DeVirgilio was appointed to the township Recreation Commission and the Planning Board. “(I) was chasing my kids all around,” he said, and as a result attended just about every activity in town.

DeVirgilio still serves on the Planning Board and was instrumental in bringing the new International Flavors and Fragrances facility to H azlet and getting N ation a l Amusements and the Price Club to donate $250,000 to the township for a community center.

That donation was actually worked out at a meeting at the Red Oak Diner with De­Virgilio lying down in a booth. He had just returned from a vacation in Hawaii in a wheelchair and “should have been in the hospital,” he said. As it was, following the meeting he spent 17 days in the hospital.

DeVirgilio also arranged the final picture show benefit at the Route 35 Drive-In the­ater before the theater’s demise in Septem­ber.

The benefit raised slightly more than $4,000 for the Booster Club, most o f which DeVirgilio said went into the high school weight room.

One o f DeVirgilio’s proudest moments

“It took three years or better to get (the) lights up in the field,” he said, because every year the cost would go up. The remainder o f the $85,000 cost o f the lights came from a bond issue which DeVirgilio campaigned for. It was the only one to pass in recent years, he said.

As one might have guessed, football is DeVirgilio’s favorite sport. In his younger days, he played semi-pro football for the Union City Mystics. All five o f his sons also played at Raritan. A daughter, Carol White, is presently active in Hazlet Pop Warner and her husband is a coach. Another daugh­ter, Jean Marie Schweitzer, is vice presidento f the Booster Club.' - * Q

DeVirgilio retired at age 55 in 1981 fol­lowing a life-threatening traffic accident in which a truck he was driving literally went under a tractor trailer. Rescuers had to use the “jaws o f life” to extricate him.

Despite the fact that the accident caused permanent disabilities, he said he felt lucky to come out o f the accident the way he did. He said the accident, which occurred in New York, was o f such magnitude that it

was reported on seven te le v is io n new s shows.

Since then, DeVirgilio has remained as active as ever in community life. A typical day for him includes watching the stock market, which he enjoys following, checking in at Town Hall, stopping by the high school and from noon to 2 p.m., as some call it, holding court at the Red Oak Diner.

DeVirgilio stops by the high school daily to see if the teams need anything. From his frequent visits there, he said he knows about 90 percent o f the students. The only sport the Booster Club does not get in­volved with is wrestling, he said.

For him the biggest thrill is “to see more kids being active” in sports. “Seeing 400 kids on the (high school) field - that’s what it’s all about,” he says.

This grandfather o f 14, who him self was the “baby” o f nine children growing up in Union City, also enjoys traveling to warm weather spots. He said he has too many ties to ever leave Hazlet and, as long as he can, will keep contributing.

And what’s his biggest goal? You proba­bly guessed his answer to that — “I want a c h a m p i o n s h i p t e a m ! ” T h a t ’ s a championship football team.

IN BRIEFThe Board of Education’s unanimous

vote to restructure the district’s elementary schools from kindergarten-to-grade five to three kindergarten-to-grade three and two grade four-five schools was ruled legal by the board attorney, said Board Secretary Paul Sparta Tuesday. The legality of the vote, taken at the Jan. 13 meeting, was chal­lenged by a resident because it was started, then halted while two amendments were voted on, and then started again. The resi­dent objected strongly to not being allowed to comment on one o f the amendments which eliminated courtesy busing for seven children, including her child.

The Hazlet and Aberdeen health depart­ments will sponsor a free women’s health screening clinic Feb. 1 at the Matawan Ave­nue School, Aberdeen. Appointments are necessary and can be made by calling the Hazlet Health Department at 264-5541. Ser­

vices include a pelvic and breast exam, Pap smear, blood pressure measurement, in­struction on breast self-exam techniques, health counseling and referrals to health so­cial service providers. Women who are over age 40, do not have adequate health insur­ance, or have not had a Pap smear or breast exam in over a year are especially encour­aged to attend. These clinics are strictly for screening; women who are having gyneco­logical problems should see their doctor.

The deadline to file for the Board o f Edu­cation is Feb. 13. Petitions are available in the board secretary’s office. Three three- year terms are available on the nine-mem­ber board and will be voted on at the annual school election scheduled for April 7. The seats currently held by board members Eu­gene Kiley, Joseph Cooney and Toni Casha expire this year. To file, you must be 18 years old, a resident o f the township for 90 days and a U.S. citizen.

THE INDEPENDENT, JANUARY 22, 1992 11

Local taxpayers may bear rate increase of 30 centsBy Marilyn Duff

HAZLET — The Board o f Education was scheduled to adopt a tentative 1992-93 school budget Tuesday, with an attached 30­cent rate increase for taxpayers.

According to figures provided Tuesday by Board Secretary Paul Sparta, the tentative budget tab will raise the tax rate from $2,405 per $100 o f assessed valuation to $2.70. He said new township ratable figures would not be available until around May, but that he doesn’t expect new ratables such as the Price Club to make a substantial dif­ference.

Sparta said Tuesday that, based on a prior consensus o f the board, he expected the tentative budget to be approved. The board is required to submit its proposal to the county by Monday, Feb. 3.

A public hearing and final budget adop­tion will take place Tuesday, March 11, Sparta said.

He blamed the hefty increase on what he termed a dramatic decrease in state aid. Un­der the proposed budget, the revenue side o f next year’s budget will be down $1.7 million from the present school year. One penny on the tax rate is the equivalent o f about $120,000, Sparta said.

Sparta said that during his years as a school administrator, he has “never seen a loss o f that kind o f revenue from one year to the next.”

T h e $ 2 8 m i l l i o n b u d g e t i n c l u d e s $17,565,402 to be raised by taxation for cur­rent expenses, up from $14,299,210 last year, and $623,813 for debt service, up from $353,743. The capital outlay budget does not require any local tax revenue.

Sparta said, “People have a right to be upset” about the increase. “We’re upset,” he

said, referring to the administration, and the “board is upset.” He said people should di­rect their anger at the state, though, saying that under the controversial Quality Educa­tion Act, the state is creating a new group o f sp ecia l-need s d istricts, w hich in clu d es Hazlet, because, as he pointed out, “Tax­payers can’t afford these kinds o f increases.”

Sparta, as head of the county Association o f School Business Administrators, said he is scheduled to testify before the state Sen­ate Education Committee about the impact o f the QEA on local districts. “I don’t see the formula changing this year,” though, he said, unless legislators can come up with an extra pool o f money.

Sparta said that if the budget were to re­main unchanged from last year, taxpayers would still have a 15-cent increase.

The board will apply $200,000 from sur­plus to next year’s budget, leaving a balance o f $225,000, which Sparta said “is scary.” Last year, the board applied $500,000 in surplus to the 1991-92 budget.

Without taking into account teacher pen­sion and Social Security costs, Sparta said the proposed budget will actually increase just 4.7 percent.

Those costs - which he does not calculate as spendable dollars, since the district never actually sees the money - if taken into ac­count would put the increase closer to the district’s state-imposed 6.34-percent cap. Up until last year, districts did not include pension and Social Security figures in their budgets.

The proposed tentative budget includes $28,500,020 for current expenses, compared to the present year’s $26,739,398; $50,000 for capital expenses, compared to $200,000 this year; and a decrease in debt service from $770,030 to $740,805.

Planning Board reorganizesHAZLET — At its reorganization meet­

ing this month, the Planning Board elected longtime board member Joseph DeVirgilio as chairman and Tom Kelly as vice chair­man. DeVirgilio has served on the board, with the exception o f several years, since the mid 1960s. Kelly is also a long-time mem­ber, having served 15 years.

Jerry Massell o f Massell Massell & Vin­cent, Middletown, was appointed board at­torney; Keith Smith o f Schoor DePalma, engineer/planner; and Thomas Herits o f Maser Sosinski and Associates, Matawan, consulting engineer. Herits also serves as the township’s consulting engineer.

Lillian T. Okuszka is the board’s new ad­ministrative officer, replacing Marge McK­enna, who served as board secretary in a part-time capacity. Okuszka holds a dual position with the Zoning Board o f Adjust­

ment. Her new, full-time position will also include office hours at Town Hall, where she will provide information to the public on matters pertaining to planning and/or zoning. The Planning Board will continue to meet the first and third Thursdays o f the month at Town Hall. Workshop meetings will be held the first Thursday at 8 p.m. and regular meetings, the third Thursday at 8:30 p.m., following an 8 p.m. workshop.

Lee struggles to remain chief of policeBy Christine Menapace__________

KEYPORT — Capt. Howard J. Ruth was restored Jan. 14 to the list of candidates for police chief and permanently appointed to the position by the Borough Council. Whether Ruth will actually fill the position, however, rests on the outcome of an appeal filed Jan. 13 by Chief Raymond Lee.

According to Lee’s lawyer, Norman M. Hobbie, a stay issued by the Appellate Court means that Lee will retain his job, pending a court ruling. Hobbie said the case is on the court’s calendar for March 31.

Lee filed the appeal in response to a state Department of Personnel decision that or­dered the council to either appoint Ruth permanent chief or make a provisional ap­pointment of either man. When learning of the department’s decision, the council scheduled the appointment for its Jan. 14 meeting.

Hobbie said he was not informed of the department’s decision until Jan. 10 or 11, and had to file an “emergent application.” He added, “But for our calls, they would have moved this through.”

Lee, who is black, said he felt the process was “racially and politically motivated” and

added that he “will pursue all legal means to protect my position as chief.”

He said he has done “nothing criminally or morally wrong. I work very hard for the Borough of Keyport... I’m not going to give it up because of some people’s personal dis­likes for me... I’ll be here a while longer.”

Mayor John J. Merla said the depart­ment’s decision was basically an adminis­trative order to appoint Ruth, because he ranked first on the list. Ruth and Lee had equal scores on the civil service test for chief, but due to Ruth’s status as a veteran, his score on the list was 83.820 and Lee’s score was listed as 81.940. Veterans are given preference under the civil service sys­tem. Lee has no military service. Merla ex­plained, “The option is clear ... you can’t bypass a veteran.”

At the council’s vote to appoint Ruth, Councilwoman June Atkins abstained and Robert Bergen, the sole Democrat on the council, voted no, saying, “The issues in­volved are very complicated.” Bergen added that he felt he needed more time to weigh the issue. Councilman David Hammond voted in favor of Ruth’s appointment, say­ing that it was the council’s way of an­swering the direction set down by adminis­

trative orders, but that he felt both Ruth and Lee would do a good job.

Lee had originally been appointed to the position of chief in 1988 when a Democrat- ic-controlled council bypassed Ruth, citing past problems with job stress. Ruth then filed an appeal, and the now Republican- controlled council vowed to abide by the court’s decision. Ruth commented that the process was “all political from the outset.”

Lee has now come under fire by the coun­cil, with an official reprimand issued against him for appointing an officer to the Detec­tive Bureau without council approval. Mer­la said the matter was discussed in closed session after the council meeting Jan. 14 and then unanimously approved in public.

Merla commented that the action was one of three alternatives and was “the least amount of punishment.” He added that Lee has requested a hearing and filed an appeal on the matter with the mayor and council.

When asked how the controversy is af­fecting the police department, Lee com­mented that it has caused a lot of tension, and that without a doubt, there are support­ers on both sides. “I feel sad for the whole Police Department,” he said. “Under the pressure, they do an outstanding job.”

Howard J. Ruth

Ruth cites politics as root of long battleKEYPORT - For the first time since the

controversy over the chief of police position began four years ago, Captain Howard J. Ruth Tuesday released a statement regard­ing his thoughts on the matter.

Calling it “politically motivated,” Ruth’s typed statement reads, “this whole entire matter was started by the former Democrat­ic Mayor Edward Flynn and the rest of his Democratic party.”

Asked why the council then did not make him chief, Ruth said conflicts between him and former councilman Robert Schneider may have been a contributing factor.

Ruth said Schneider, believing Ruth played a part in causing him to lose an elec­tion, commented to him on Nov. 5, 1987, “this is why you won’t be chief, because of your attitude.” Schneider could not be reached for comment Tuesday.

Ruth’s greatest point of concern, howev­er, lies with the state Department of Person­nel Medical Review Board.

“This whole sordid affair should not have gotten past the Medical Review Board be­cause they never had any definitive proof as

to (my) psychological unfitness to be the chief of police,” he said.

Ruth said that a psychologist hired by the borough at a cost of $14,000 specifically stated to the board that he did not find Ruth unfit, as well as a psychologist hired by Ruth himself. Ruth alleged that the board made its decision based on the council’s views. Representatives of the board could not be reached for comment Tuesday.

Ruth said, “my layman’s knowledge of psychology tells me this isn’t an exact sci­ence and if you are going to pin a label on someone, you should have some creditable evidence to substantiate what you’re saying ... The questions that are on my mind are: If the borough’s own psychologist did not find anything wrong with (me) to be police chief, then what was the Medical Review Board’s interest? Can this happen again to another veteran who scores number one? How does this type of behavior by politicians affect the patrolman, as this can be a useful meth­od by politicians to deny a police officer a promotion ... How do you get back four years?”

Ruth pointed out that if the whole con­troversy had not occurred, he could have retired two years ago with 25 years of ser­vice.

In addition to his status as a veteran which gave him preference over Chief Ray­mond G. Lee for the position, Ruth said former Chief Michael Kelley had recom­mended him for the position. If the council truly believed him psychologically unfit, he asked, then why weren’t councilmen con- cemed about his status as captain in which

he often served as acting chief in Kelly’s absence? Ruth said he had served in the capacity of chief as far back as 1981. “It’s a contradiction of facts,” he said.

Ruth said he believes the council at the time did not think he would have the stami­na to stay and fight for the position. A letter from former Borough Attorney James H. Gorman to the borough council said, “Ho­ward Ruth will have an uphill battle if he seeks to reverse the decision of the Depart­ment of Personnel on an appeal to the Ap­pellate Division.”

Four years later Ruth is still fighting, de­spite the fact that he has been paying his legal fees out of his own pocket which, he says, have now reached five figures. Ruth approximated the cost of the entire court process for both the borough and his legal fees at over a hundred thousand dollars. He said, “I’ll be looking to recover my attorney fees in some shape or form.”

Ruth said that “before 1987 I was never political, however, since this whole matter started I was forced to take sides, which is only natural.” He said that the current Re­publican council knew it did not have enough evidence to fight his appeal and opted not to spend the money on a long court battle and abide by the court’s deci­sion.

Ruth said he has a working relationship with Lee and added, “I don’t want to get into a contest with Lee. I think the depart­ment’s upset enough.” Asked if he would continue the fight even if it drags out for another year, Ruth said, “I’ll have to pursue it all the way.”

Borough to again review road improvement studyBy Christine Menapace

MATAWAN — An engineer’s study on improvements needed on the borough’s roads, authorized by the Borough Council in 1988, has been resurrected for consider­ation of council officials.

According to Mayor Robert Shuey, the study - which includes a 10-year plan for more than $4.1 million in improvements and maintenance - was previously voted down for implementation by the council. However, with the current state of the econ­omy forcing contractors to lower their prices and compete for bids, as well as the increas­ing disrepair of many streets in the borough, Shuey said he would like to see the borough review the study again. Copies of the study, he said, have already been provided to each council member. “We’ve got to do some­thing with these roads,” he commented.

Robert Bucco Jr., senior project manager with Howard Schoor Engineering, the bo­rough’s engineering firm, said he, another engineer and former Councilwoman Rita Shuey did a field inspection of the whole town, and wrote the report based on the inspection. The areas of disrepair were then prioritized into nine projects that were bro­ken down into engineers’ cost estimates.

According to Bucco, the approximately $4.1 million needed to totally repair and maintain the borough’s streets was broken down not only by project, but also by year. In a 10-year plan, Bucco said, the borough should appropriate $400,000 annually in or­der to start repair work on bad areas, as well as maintain one mile of road to avoid major construction in that area in the future.

Bucco said now is a prime time to start repair work because of competition among contractors. Fredwood Place, which recently received a $160,000 grant from the New

Jersey Department of Transportation, has nearly 30 contractors bidding on it, creating lower prices through competition, he said.

A sewer project behind Borough Hall on Jackson and Church streets, Bucco added, has more than 20 contractors bidding. Nor­mally, the borough receives eight to 10 bid­ders on road work and sewer contracts, he said. A traffic signal installation at Aber­deen Road and Matawan Avenue, which usually receives three or four contract bids, has more than 10, he said.

Bucco said that now is “an excellent time for municipalities to put public contracts out for bid, because they should get the best competitive prices available in today’s economy.”

First on the list of priorities, he explained, is the Green and White Village section of town. Bucco said it was last reconstructed in the mid ’60s, and a total reconstruction of curbs, sidewalks and roads is warranted at an estimated cost of $1.5 million. Bucco noted that once repairs are done, the roads should be good for another 20 years.

Second on the list is Lochslea Heights, which Bucco said was built in the mid ’40s. A majority of the road needs replacement, he commented, at an estimated cost of $875,000. He added that a few devel­opments like Lochslea were built in the ’40s, and that the useful life of a road is generally 25 to 30 years before repairs are needed.

Chestnut Drive was listed third, at an es­timated cost of $475,000. Union Street was listed fourth at $265,000, and Danemar Drive was listed fifth at a cost of $180,000. Bucco said Danemar also has a big drainage problem, which should go out to public bid for a contract probably within the next two months.

Also listed in the study were Miriam Drive, Miriam Place, Ravine Drive and Johnson Avenue.

NION BEACH

Officials hesitant about 911Smith: Borough doesn’t need itBy Gabrielle llliano

UNION BEACH — The emergency number 911 soon will become a reality in New Jersey, and the borough will have to decide how it will handle emergency calls.

The 911 legislation calls for municipali­ties to decide whether to establish their own 911 centers, regionalize or have their calls filtered through a county-run operation.

But not all Union Beach officials are hap­py with the law.

“We do not need 911 in Union Beach,” said Councilman Paul Smith.

He said that the town was small enough to handle emergency calls without the bene­fit of a formal state-mandated system.

Mayor Carmen Stoppiello said that he agrees the borough is small enough to han­dle emergency calls on its own; however, he added that since the 911 system is now state law and the borough has no choice but to conform.

If the borough opts for its own center, it will have to conform to the operational, equipment and personnel standards of the state. Of the equipment requirements, Union Beach still will have to add a 911 console, which records such information as the address and phone number of the caller.

It also will have install a printer and a teletype device for hearing impaired callers.

The price tag for the equipment is esti­mated to be between $15,000 and $20,000, according to Donald Pietruszki, 911 systems engineer for New Jersey Bell.

Pietruszki toured the Police Department, surveyed the equipment it has in place and arrived at the estimate.

Any equipment necessary outside of the building will be the responsibility of the state.

After a system is established, the borough is responsible for repairs and maintenance, but calls will be paid for by the state.

Affiliation with a county operation would route all calls to one central location. Calls answered by the county would then be transfered back to the local police depart­ments. In this case, there would be no equipment requirements or budget consid­erations.

Councilman Michael Harriott said that using the county system would put a third party and, therefore, delay the call. Harriott expressed a desire to keep the system within the borough. He added the borough receives 150 first aid and fire calls and 7,000 police calls annually.

Harriott said the borough already has filed a plan with the county as required by the state. He said that the borough would like to get by with the bare necessities and added that some of the equipment is in place and two of the dispatchers are state certified.

Stoppiello said the cost of the 911 equip­ment will have to be included in the bo­rough’s July 1 budget. He added that he will recommend seeking the help of the Mon­mouth County Improvement Authority in funding the system.

The authority is a lending agency estab­lished to assist municipalities in borrowing funds without having to come up with a down payment. Stoppiello said that if the borough goes out for bonding it will be re­quired to make a down payment.

Pietruszki said that 911 already is opera­tional in Gloucester County, and it is ex­pected that Cape May County will be on line by the end of January.

The target date for Monmouth County is September 1992.

Borough names citizen of yearBy Gabrielle llliano

UNION BEACH — “You couldn’t find a finer person,” said Mayor Carmen Stoppiello of Mary Shank, the borough’s newest “Citizen of the Year. ”

Shank, 518 Front St., was recognized at the borough’s annual reorganization meeting Jan. 5. Councilman Paul Smith presented the award to a pleasantly sur­prised Shank. Her name was submitted to the council for consideration by Smith and Councilman Bob Gutowsky. Smith explained that anyone in the borough can submit the name of a resident who they feel is worthy of the honor.

Among her involvements in the bo­rough, Shank serves on the Missing and Exploited Children’s Commission, which serves the borough’s needy families. Most recently, Shank worked on the bo­rough tree-lighting ceremony and the col­lection of Christmas toys for needy chil­dren.

She is a member of the Recreation Committee and helps to schedule trips to baseball games and events such as the Ice

Capades. She also has run the Little League refreshment stand for the last 14 years.

The Drug Alliance is another organi­zation which benefits from Shank’s time and efforts. The alliance is active in pro­moting education and a drug-free life­style for borough children and their fami­lies. Shank said she’d like to see more families get involved with the alliance.

Smith said, “Mary is always willing to help out, she’s always available and not afraid to get involved.” Smith recalled that recently a man came into Borough Hall to inquire about the Christmas toy drive and when he was told to contact Shank, he said, “She does that, too?!”

Stoppiello said that he has known Shank and her family since she was a little girl and that they are all fine people who always follow through.

Of the award, Shank said it was a sur­prise and a great thing. She added that she wanted to “thank the people of Union Beach and the mayor and council for recognizing me. This really makes you feel appreciated, and it makes you want to do more.”

I N B R I E FThe borough is asking residents to partic­

ipate in a voluntary plastics recycling pro­gram. According to Mayor Carmen Stop­piello, residents may co-mingle plastics with glass, aluminum and tin cans. The plastics to be' included should be pourable plastics

like milk, soda and detergent bottles. Recy­cling Coordinator Betty Zimmer will com­plete a specific list of plastics to include in the recycling effort. The list will be distrib­uted by mail or through local stores. Stop­piello said the residents’ voluntary efforts will benefit the county program by reducing the amount of garbage brought to the coun­ty landfill.

Tiffany Van Dusen, 7, of Belford is a rising star in amateur gymnastics. The young Olympic hopeful is hard at work, training for her first state championships this summer.

Gymnast eyes 2000 GamesBy Garry Wasko

At the ripe old age of 7, Tiffany Van Du­sen is already a veteran. According to her mother, Diane, such is the world of amatuer gymnastics.

“By the time girls get to be 18, they are already usually out of international compe­tition, so it’s important to get them started as young as possible,” Mrs. Van Dusen said as her daughter worked out at Rebound Gymnastics, Cliffwood. Tiffany has already competed all over the United States and in the Soviet Union in her brief but successful career.

The 44-pound dynamo recently finished first in every event in a New Jersey section­al tournament that featured more than 150 young gymnasts. But, according to Mrs. Van Dusen, that is not out of the ordinary for Tiffany.

Since turning 7 in April, Tiffany has com­peted in six U.S. Gymnastics Federation meets and won the all-around championship in all six. The all-around championship is awarded to the competitor who scores highest in all four events com­bined - the uneven parallel bars, the floor exercise, the balance beam and the vault.

Further proof of the tiny Belford resi­dent’s mastery of all four women’s gymnas­tic events is her astounding individual re­cord in those events. Out of the six meets, Tiffany failed to win only two of the 24 events, in addition to her unbeaten streak in the all-around.

Tiffany said that although the bars are her favorite event, she works hard to master all four.

“I practice hard on all of them. That’s why I always win the all-around,” she said. “It’s not good enough to only be good at one or two events.”

Gymnastics is a family affair for the Van Dusens. Diane, a former high school gym­

nast, is Tiffany’s coach and opened Re­bound Gymnastics, Route 35, especially for Tiffany’s training last year. Since then, the gym has become a popular place for young talent to develop, according to Mrs. Van Dusen.

She noted that Tiffany showed a talent for gymnastics at a very young age. From the age of 2 or 3, she noticed Tiffany taking an interest in calisthenics and tumbling.

“We had a small trampoline when she was very little, and Tiffany would bounce up and down on that thing for hours,” Mrs. Van Dusen said. “I couldn’t get her off the trampoline.”

Now Tiffany spends more than 15 hours every week in the gym, training for her ulti­mate goal: the Olympics. Her mother said she’s got a chance to make it.

“Tiffany will be 15 by the time of the Olympics in 2000, and that’s the age when most gymnasts are at their peak,” she ex­plained. Tiffany is considered to be one of the top young gymnasts in the state, and is “a lock” to win the state championships this summer in her age group, according to Van Dusen.

For her own part, Tiffany said she thinks she can go as far as she wants to in gymnas­tics. Both mother and daughter, while hop­ing for an eventual Olympic berth, said that they hope Tiffany will use gymnastics at least as a springboard to college.

Still, Mrs. Van Dusen said that she tries not to push Tiffany too hard to succeed.

“I just go by what she says and what she wants,” she explained.

Tiffany agreed, explaining that the two have a rule: no gymnastics at home, only in the gym.

“I’m always tumbling around and climb­ing up on the furniture, so it’s kind of hard to keep that rule,” Tiffany said.

Tiffany and her mother hope that some­day, all that tumbling and training will turn into gold: a gold medal in the Olympics.

By Marilyn DuffAre you ready to kick the smoking habit

but don’t want to go it alone? That is, you’re one of those people who believe “cold tur­key” belongs in the refrigerator.

As smoking becomes more restricted in public places and the workplace, programs to help those who can’t muster enough wil­lpower to stop on there own are advertised almost daily and offered at most area hospi­tals, including Bayshore Community Hospi-

Bayshore offers two options - the first, a seven-session program which includes an introductory session, four 1'/2-hour skill ses­sions and two maintenance sessions, and the second, a single two-hour group hypno­sis program. There is a one-time fee of $180 for the longer Smokeless program and a $60 one-time fee for the hyposis program.

With both, clients can return free-of- charge for reinforcement, according to Janet Hostrup, Bayshore’s coordinator of con­sumer health education.

a-day smoker tried the hypnosis program around the time the hospital introduced it - about two years ago - and hasn’t smoked since, she said.

“It’s always nice to know that the pro­gram works,” she said.

Hostrup said the hypnosis program is a little more popular than the older Smokeless program, which the hospital has offered for about seven years, because “people are looking for quick fixes.”

The quick-fix hypnosis sessions, which are held monthly, usually draw between 20 and 30 people, she said.

Interest in the Smokeless program has been dwindling, she said, noting, “The mar­ket seems to be saturated.”

At one time an average Smokeless intro­ductory program would draw 50 people while today it might draw just seven.

Asked about the success rate, Hostrup said the Smokeless program usually has a very good success rate. Sometimes, she said, participants may come back for reinforce­ment.

While she knows it worked for her hus­band, she said, it’s a little harder to track participants in the hypnosis program. Peo­ple were happy about participating, she said, adding they “couldn’t believe how easy it was.”

Hostrup said she once sat in on a hypno­sis session with the intention of observing, but ended up being more of a participant than observer, even though she wasn’t a smoker.

She described the hypnotic period as be­ing “more like (the) relaxed state (you feel) right before you go to sleep” as opposed to being completely out.

The program also helps you control eat­ing, said Hostrup, since weight gain is often an excuse for not kicking the habit. Hostrup said instead of cigarettes, you are told you will crave cool glasses of water, Hostrup said.

Participants also receive program tapes to take home with them.

The first half hour of the hypnosis pro­gram is devoted to explaining what’s in­volved. Persons who seem resistent to the idea of being hypnotized are usually told it might not be for them, in which case they are welcome to leave before hypnosis be­gins, she said.

Bayshore also offers some teen stop- smoking programs in conjunction with Holmdel High School, said Hostrup.

The Smokeless program, which is con­ducted by Jim Ashe, a certified instructor and a respiratory therapist at the hospital, is offered every other month. The next pro­gram will begin March 11. It begins with the free introductory session followed by the four skill sessions the following Monday through Thursday.

The hypnosis seminar, conducted by Green Seminar, Morristown, is offered monthly and costs $60. The next seminar is scheduled for 7-9 p.m. Feb. 25.

Two hotels in Twilight ZoneThis is the story of two hotels.One, the kind you’ve hoped for but never

thought you’d find; the other, quite unimag­inable and, therefore, all the more delightful when discovered.

The first of the duo is found on Manhat­tan’s Madison Avenue at 92nd Street.

The Hotel Wales is a rock-solid eight-sto­ry edifice, generously balconied and crowned with the kind of cornices that ar­chitects delighted in when such ornamenta­tion was thought essential not a frill.

By some urban miracle, Hotel Wales was spared the wrecker’s ball.

Now, it has been gloriously restored to its own quiet turn-of-the-century charm.

With its rich oak paneling, its comfort­able parlor and airy, sunny guest rooms, it looks more like Henry and William James’ homestead than a well-run commercial es­tablishment.

This is not a hotel that bills itself as su­per-deluxe. It has neither spa nor gym, disco or ballroom.

What it does have is a pluperfect location, within easy walking distance of the Met, the Whitney and the newly re-opened Guggen­heim Museums.

It also has an affordable room rate which is double welcome in a city where such rates have spiraled up up and away.

A room, double occupancy is $145 per night. Suites begin at $175 with a continen­tal breakfast included in the tab.

The other hotel is 5,000 miles away, di­rectly opposite the Bolshoi Theatre on Tea- tralny Proyezd in Moscow.

After five years and $ 170-million over­haul, Inter-Continental Hotels is re-opening

L I N D A M c K . § , » m S T E W A R T LM U N M U U m gA V E LE F ^^^the famous Metropol Hotel making it the first Russian hotel to be operated by an in­ternational hotel company.

Anyone who has experienced the ware­house-like atmosphere, the indifferent ser­vice and the lumpy interiors of Russia’s or­dinary tourist hotels will heave a sigh of relief to know that so appealing an alterna­tive is now available.

English language TV, an indoor pool, fit­ness room, saunas, computer hook-ups and even (Lenin, roll over!) round the clock stock market quotes.

A trio of formal dining rooms, two lounges and a bar complete a portrait of very non-Russian comfort.

The opening of the done-over Metropol bespeaks more eloquently than headlines the enormity of change that is sweeping Russia.

IF YOU GO: To contact the Hotel Wales at 1295 Madison Ave., call 212-876-6000 or 800-243-1166.

For details about Moscow’s Metropol Hotel, call Inter-Continental Hotels at 800­327-0200.

INCHING PENNIES

For inexpensive beauty treatment, go back to schoolCosmetology clinic offers haircuts, facials and moreBy Lauren Jaeger

Where can you get a facial, haircut and manicure at a price Grandma paid when she was your age?

From 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. Wednesdays and Fridays, Matawan Regional High School’s Cosmetology Clinic is open to the public and offers the skills of 16 seniors studying to be professional beauticians.

Here, a haircut costs $3.50. A manicure is $2. A permanent wave costs $8.50. And a two-step haircoloring is a mere $7.

“We get, on the average, about 12 cus­tomers per day - sometimes more, some­times less,” said Pat Vena, an instructor for 18 years. “The money goes back into buying more supplies.”

Besides the general public, clientele in­cludes teachers and students.

“One of our clients is 85 years old,” Vena said. “She’s been coming every week since the program began in 1974. I think during the summer, she waits for September. She just loves the kids.”

Appointments are strongly recommend­ed, but walk-ins also are taken at the Atlan­tic Avenue, Matawan, school.

Last Thursday, the entire junior class, each student armed with a manikin head

with thick brown hair, set curls. However, the juniors were not simply wrapping curls but engrossed in the chemicals and the not- so-simple skill of perfecting the permanent wave.

“The first chemical softens and swells the hair, so it takes the form of the curl,” said student Tonya Wnek as she wrapped hair around the curlers. “Secondly, the neutraliz- er will harden and set the hair. An alkaline perm is for a stronger, curlier look. An acid- balanced perm is for a softer, fuller look.”

The lesson included hand dexterity as well. Each student had to produce a perfect­ly rolled head within 30 minutes.

One student, completed with her head, went up to her teacher, Kathy Quinn, to show what she had done.

“For a first wrap, it’s OK,” said Quinn, not looking completely delighted. “There’s no fishhooks. That’s important. But it looks like they’re sitting on top of each other. Do it all over. And under 30 minutes.”

Wnek explained that the course involves1,000 hours of class time, a lot of home­work, and the study of science and math as it relates to the field of beauty.

“I knew what I was coming into because I have beauticians in my family,” she said. “Many don’t realize how much work it is. It’s not an easy course. There are a lot of things to understand before you’re allowed to finally practice.”

Vena was quick to point out that students receive an education in the structure and function of the human body as well as in the makeup of hair. For the use of electrical

appliances, the state requires that students know the differences between a watt, ohm and a volt.

“The first 500 hours is hands-on practice with curling irons, coloring and permanent waves,” explained Quinn, an instructor for five years. “Then, they have chemistry, anatomy and physics. It’s a science we teach.

“For instance, with a haircut, everything is done according to inches and angles,” she added. “With sciences, they need to know the motor points of the face and the muscles underneath the skin in order to do facials.”

And nails? “They have to know the dis­eases and disorders of the nail before doing manicures,” Quinn said.

Even chemistry lessons are learned through finding out how different chemicals affect different types of hair.

The classroom’s setup resembles the aver­age beauty parlor, with several swivel chairs and sinks. A corner of the room, screened off, is devoted to facials. Metal lockers con­tain all of the essential items for beauty, such as nail polish and hair dyes.

“The students are being prepared for the State Board of Cosmetology and Hairsty- ling,” Vena said. “It is a two-part exam, written and practical, and is usually sched­uled about nine times a year in New Bruns­wick.”

The high school students schedule two major beauty events during the year. In the winter, it’s the nail-a-thon day, with non­stop manicures, which includes tips and nail art. In the spring, it’s the cut-a-thon. On

these days, the students work until 7 p.m.“The money from these events goes into a

scholarship fund for advanced training - such as the Clairol Institute for Advanced Haircoloring in New York,” Vena said.

Several of the Matawan Regional grad­uates have gone on to open their own sa­lons. For instance, Compliments on Route 35, Hazlet, is not only owned by former students, but also employs several former students, Vena said.

The first male beauty culture student, Ke­vin Nesci, who graduated in 1981, now owns Images, a beauty salon in Lincroft.

Men still remain the minority in beauty culture. Out of a total of 37 students, only two are boys.

Other prices are $5 for a haircut and set, $2.50 for a shampoo and set or blow dry, $2 for a scalp treatment, $1 for an eyebrow arch, $4.50 for a facial with mask, $13 for a permanent wave with hair coloring, $7 for a frosting, $10 for a foil frosting, $4.50 for a pedicure, and $7.50 for a hair relaxing.

For reservations, call Pat Vena at 290­2828.

Monmouth Vocational School in Hazlet, (across the street from Raritan High School, Middle Road) offers Beauty Clinic Day from 11:45 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursdays. By appointments only, call 264-4995.

Monmouth Vocational School in Middle­town, 2 Swartzel Drive, at the corner of Tin­dall Road offers Beauty Clinic Day from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. Fridays. Stop by in person only — no appointments. For information, call 671-0650.

T H E B U S I N E S S O F B E A U T YTonya Wnek, a junior beauty culture student at Matawan Regional High School, cuts the hair of classmate Kristie Kogut. The students offer their services twice a week to the public at low prices.

Globe-trotting dancers plan Monmouth County stop42-year-old troupe to perform works of Jose LimonBy Cheryl Makin

Second only to the Martha Graham Com­pany in longevity, the Jose Limon Dance Company will appear at 8 p.m. Friday in the Poliak Auditorium of Monmouth College, West Long Branch.

Continuing the tradition of its Mexican- born founder and namesake, the modern dance troupe’s legacy of passion, drama and humanistic dances is represented through the masterworks of Limon and of Doris Humphrey, Limon’s teacher and the com­pany’s first artistic director.

Two of the pieces on the program will be of the traditional repertory - Limon’s “Cha- conne” and “There is a Time” - while the remaining works are by contemporary cho­reographers - “Cleave” by Phyllis Lamhut and “Volver” by Carlos Orta.

Based on a traditional Mexican dance of the same name, “Chaconne” is described as “robust and raucous.” The solo to the “Cha­conne” from “Parita No. 2 in D Minor for Unaccompanied Piano” by Bach will be danced in ordinary street clothing by Gary Masters, the company’s artistic associate and member for 21 years. It is meant to convey the nobility of the common man. Masters, according to Dance magazine, is “one of the most gifted performers in con­temporary dance.”

“There is a Time,” Limon’s 1956 classic, is based on the biblical passage, “To every­thing there is a season ...” The dance is a theme with variations using a large circle to represent the passage of time. The music by Norman Dello Joio, commissioned for the dance, was awarded the 1957 Pulitzer Prize for composition.

The circle is seen repeatedly in many guises, rhythms and dramatic shapes, al-

L E A P I N G L I M O N SDancers from the Jose Limon Dance Company show off their founder’s style which they will present at Monmouth College at 8 p.m. Friday in the Poliak Auditorium.ways making allusions to the text from Chapter 3 of Ecclesiastes, and its evocation of the human experience.

“Volver,” a duet featuring Carla Maxwell and Carlos Orta, was choreographed by Or­ta to a variety of tangos. The sophisticated dance expresses love and love lost as the pair come together and part.

Inspired by the dismantling of the Berlin Wall, “Cleave” has a score by Robert Moran for chanting voices and instruments. Cho­reographed for eight dancers, the piece is a

contemporary folk dance beginning slowly with each dancer walking alone and gradual­ly building up to more complex patterns and partnerships. ■

Dynamically masculine in his dancing, Limon was one of the major choreographic figures in the formation of American mod­ern dance. Throughout his career, he was dedicated to changing the perception of the male in dance and bring it to new stature and recognition.

The family of the dancer, who was born

in 1908 in Culliacan, Mexico, moved to Ari­zona when he was 7 years old and later to Los Angeles, Calif. Limon studied art for a year at UCLA and then moved to New York to continue his art studies. It was on the East Coast that he saw his first dance concert by the German expressionists Har­old Kreutzberg and Yvonne Georgi.

“What I saw simply and irrevocably changed my life,” the late choreographer once said. “I saw the dance as a vision of ineffable power. A man could, with dignity and towering majesty, dance ... dance as Michelangelo’s visions dance and as the music of Bach dances.”

Limon enrolled in the dance school of Humphrey and Charles Weidman and be­tween 1930 and 1940 performed in most of the great works created by the duo. During this time, he began to choreograph on his own for a small concert group and several Broadway productions.

Established in 1946, the Jose Limon Dance Company was founded on a tech­nique Limon developed out of Humphrey’s principles of movement. Many of his 74 works became recognized as masterpieces, and his company grew in size and stature.

In its 42-year history, the company has performed in every state and in more than 30 countries.

In the 19 years since the founder’s death, the company has produced 46 works by 25 dilferent choreographers. A principal danc­er, Maxwell is marking her 25th anniversary with the company. She became artistic di­rector in 1978 and has taught in residency programs at the Julliard School, New York; Connecticut College, New London, Conn.; and Bennington (Vt.) College.

Tickets for the show are $15; $12 for stu­dents and people 65 and over; and $7.50 for children under 12. Tickets may be ordered through the Monmouth College box office at 571-3483, 9 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday.

A champagne reception will be held after the concert in the Pompeii Room, Wilson Hall. To attend, add $10 to each ticket’s price. Reservations for the reception should be made through Jacqueline West, dance program coordinator, at 776-9401.

State designers gallery offers cross section of art worldBy Cheryl Makin

From the colorful grandfather clock that doubles as a music box, and the delicate jewelry, to the bright batik scarves and the functional but decorative pottery, each piece of art in the New Jersey Designer Craftsmen Gallery, New Brunswick, reflects the care, quality and talent of each artisan represented.

With more than 800 members, the NJDC showcases a vast array of the art world. Members of the NJDC, a resident company of the New Brunswick Cultural Center, hail from all over New Jersey and range in age from high school and college student to se­nior citizen.

“We are open to any craftsperson living or working in New Jersey,” said program director Fran Nimeck. “They apply to ex­hibit generally with slides of their work, which is reviewed and accepted or denied.”

A calligrapher herself, Nimeck, the heart and soul behind the NJDC, noted that the artists represent all kinds of crafts in all me­dia. Some pieces of the artists’ work are in production and make multiples or limited editions, while other items are one-of-a-kind pieces.

“We have people who work in clay, fiber, either paper or cloth wearables, wood, glass, mixed media and metal, which are generally

‘We have people who work in clay, fiber, either paper or cloth wearables, wood, glass, mixed media and metal, which are generally jewelers. It really runs the gamut.’

jewelers,” Nimeck explained. “It really runs the gamut.”

In addition to the New Brunswick gallery, located at 65 Church St., sales spaces also are maintained in the New Jersey State Mu­seum Shop and Allaire Village Store. The NJDC Gallery, which moved into its pre­sent location in September, enjoys its con­nection to the New Brunswick Cultural Center.

“A large part of our audience is the same people who attend the theater and con­certs,” Nimeck noted. “It is important for all of the arts to cooperate with one another and combine efforts to help the arts com­munity.”

According to their statement of purpose,

the NJDC serves the craftspeople of the Garden State as a statewide, non-profit or­ganization dedicated to promoting and ex­hibiting the highest quality contemporary and traditional crafts.

The NJDC was founded in the early ’50s by a small group of craftsmen who felt the need for an organization that could provide information and seek opportunities for members to exhibit and sell their crafts. In 1967, when the membership had grown to numbers far exceeding initial expectations, NJDC became a non-profit corporation.

In 1987, NJDC began an ongoing pro­gram to outreach other New Jersey craft organizations in a thrust to develop a New Jersey Craft Consortium.

“We also act as a referral service,” Ni­meck said. “We function as a statewide net­working organization, connecting people to the appropriate craftspeople.”

Since its inception, NJDC has sponsored more than 100 gallery exhibits, craft fairs and sales events throughout the state. It also provides artisans with the opportunity to exhibit and sell their work, and serves as a resource for instruction, demonstrations and other educational events.

“In the fall, we began a lecture and workshop series, typically taught by artists in the area,” Nimeck explained. “This will continue in the spring.”

Through its bimonthly newsletter, Craft- front, NJDC keeps members informed of all craft events throughout the state.

“Half of the newsletter contains informa­tion about us and our activities, and the remaining half is about other craft organiza­tions,” Nimeck noted.

The next display in the gallery, she added, will be an annual teacher-student exhibit of different craft media. This year, the NJDC Gallery will host Princeton enamelist Kath­arine Wood and her students through the end of February.

The next sales portion will feature items appropriate for Valentine’s Day, Nimeck said.

She explained there are two ways a craft- person can exhibit at the gallery. To exhibit in the sales portion of the gallery, the artist must be a member and go through the re­view process, which is offered twice a year; the next review is March 7, Nimeck said. To be exhibited in the other section of the gal­lery, an artist doesn’t need to be a member, she noted.

Items for sale at the gallery are priced by the artists themselves, but typically fall within a reasonable price range, Nimeck said.

The NJDC Gallery is open from 12-6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. For more information, call 246-4066.

Not your usual Italian eateryBilling itself as a Pasta, Pizza and Grille,

Chez Bruno, located on Route 34, Colts Neck, is an unusual Italian restaurant - un­usual in the sense of novel menu and own­ership.

The last time we visited this restaurant, it was Marquaux’s. The table tent told us to visit their other restaurant, and the check was identified by Margaux Inc. The confu­sion, however, is not who owns what or where else you should dine, but why not say something about where you are?

Chez Bruno deserves a brief explanation about itself because it has something to say. It says it is trying to be unique by offering pizzas like Aurora (with ricotta, mozzarella, rugula, diced tomatoes and roasted garlic). It says it is being daring with entrees like liver Veneziano (sauteed with onions, vine­gar, bayleaf and slab bacon). It says it is being creative with pastas like Rigatoni (with eggplant, tomatoes and ricotta). Chez Bruno has a lot to say.

The atmosphere has not changed much from its former life. The help was as friend­ly, kind and courteous as one could ask for. At times it was almost overbearing, but we’d like to think this was all in the name of building up business.

Appetizers from mozzarella in carrozza (with julienne of fried zucchini) to aged sir­loin carpaccio (lightly grilled and served ve­ry rare with black olive pesto), were just two that caught our eye. We chose to share the mixed antipasto Chez Bruno.

This was a cold antipasto consisting of grilled onions, marinated mushrooms, ri­pened marinated olives, fried smelts, stuffed pepper with cheese, a mozzarella roll of pro­sciutto and peppers, eggplant salad with grape leaves, roasted fennel and much more. The maitre d’ served us from a main platter, which was more than enough for my wife and me, and explained every item as he placed it on our plates.

D I N I N GMARC SCHLOSSBERG_________

For entrees we selected a three-cheese la- sagna and grilled salmon.

The three-cheese lasagna was made with chicken and porcini mushrooms. It was de­licious. The tomato cream sauce and the al dente pasta was worth the few minutes long­er it took to prepare this dish. The chicken and porcini mushrooms were a great change to a dish which is relatively heavy by na­ture. If you like lasagna and want to chance something unusual, try this one.

The grilled salmon was served atop a two- pepper puree. The fillet of salmon was per­fectly grilled and marked. The puddled yel­low and red pepper purees added a nice acidic taste to the salmon. It was served with sauteed baked potato slices.

Other entrees of interest included penne pasta (with artichokes, tomatoes, olives, ri­cotta and fresh basil), roasted baby chicken (with light mustard sauce), oven roasted rainbow trout (stuffed with rock shrimp), and a salsicce pizza (topped with mozzarel­la, chopped fresh tomato, chicken sausage, roasted Holland peppers, rosemary and ba­sil).

For dessert, there were cheesecake, tartu- fo, lemon sorbet, and our selection of the evening, stawberries and champagne sa- bayon. The strawberries were plentiful, sweet, well-chilled and, combined with sa- bayon, put a finishing touch on a very nice dinner.

Chez Bruno offers more than it is telling its public. Perhaps time will allow it to speak for itself.

Special awards in wine worldEach year at this time, I present my nom­

inations for special awards in the world of wine. In the past, I recognized achievements that made the recipients worthy of a toast, but other nominees were singled out be­cause of dubious distinctions, and to those I presented my corky wine award.

Frankly, I always enjoyed the opportunity to call attention to the good and the bad. In this particular column, I’ll only mention the good because it’s an anniversary cele­bration, of sorts. Today’s article is the 700th one that I’ve written for the local paper be­ginning with The Register newspaper until it closed, and continuing with the News Transcript and the Independent. What fol­lows are my award nominees.

Best restaurant wine list (local area): Se­lection, pricing, availability, service and storage conditions are highly important. A knowledgeable waiting staff is essential. Not every list has to be gargantuan to gain recog­nition. Certain types of restaurants are best served by having just a few wines, provided that they are well chosen.

For the sixth year in a row, the top award goes to Doris & Ed’s Seafood by the Seaside in Highlands. Repeating again in the close runner-up spot for the fourth year in a row is The Fromagerie, Rumson. The Fromage- rie has also been the site of many highly successful wine dinners featuring winemak­ers or proprietors. Happily, Doris & Ed’s has adopted the practice.

Other wine lists deserving recognition are: Cucina di Ro.ma, Red Bank; Cafe Roy- ale, Wall; and The Farmingdale House, Farmingdale.

C H A R L E S B . R U B I N S T E I NWINE

Best BYOB restaurant: New Jersey is par­adise for any wine lover with a cellar. Good restaurants without a liquor license abound, and more than a few are among the top restaurants in the state. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that my BYOB award nominees lack good wine service. Be as­sured that the staffs are knowledgeable and attentive. After all, they have the opportuni­ty of opening the best wines cellared in our state, brought in by local collectors happy for the opportunity to enjoy their own wine in a fine restaurant.

Ray’s Seafood in Little Silver attracted well-deserved attention when it first opened, and the food has continued to rise to new heights under chef Greg Gaunt. The wait for tables attests to the restaurant’s popularity. Culinary Renaissance in Metu- chen is a find. The fare here changes often - there is an imaginative flair in many of the dishes. All are sure to please.

Mumfords in Long Branch also turns out interesting offerings, and the Pea-Stone Room in Peapack continues to delight.

Don’t compromise when it comes to wedding gownToday’s trends include Watteau trains; open, sexy necklines; ornate sleeves

Your fiance is handsome and charming, but he's no blue-blooded prince.

And the engagement diamond on your hand weighs only a fraction of a carat - as opposed to the rock you had once imagined.

It’s not that you’ve settled for less. It’s just that you’re taking a practical, common- sense approach to marrying in the frugal, value-oriented 1990s.

Except, of course, where your wedding dress is concerned.

After all. the bridal gown traditionally is a dress to die for - a fantasy frock that flatters you like no other as you bask in the wed­ding-day spotlight.

And today there’s no reason to compro­mise your version of this sartorial icon since there are dresses to fit every budget and dimension of personal style.

Indeed, the wedding dress is alive, well and as embellished as ever - even in this decade of prudence and providence.

In fact, you have more lavish treatments and ornate trims to choose from than the brides who walked down the aisle before you.

Here are some of today’s hottest trends.Designers are romancing the figure with

the most flattering, sophisticated looks around. Details worth watching for: bodices

that follow the natural waist; controlled, full hems; draping; A-line, flared and forced sil­houettes; and the emergence of the Watteau train.

Next to the silhouette itself, necklines and sleeves are garnering major attention. Often slipping off the shoulders, necklines are open and sexy, while sleeves get every type of treatment imaginable, making them al­most as much a focal point as the wedding ring itself.

Brocades, damasks and jacquards bring texture to the simple, soft, airy fabrics with which designers seem to have fallen in love.

You’ll find yards and yards of sheer or­ganza, chiffon and voile along with tulle, silk taffeta and silk shantung in the most beautiful gowns, often accompanied by lace that’s placed with precision rather than strewn all around.

Shirring and pleating are plentiful, play­ing up fabrics to their fullest.

It’s a garden out there with all the dimen­sional blossoms and petals blooming on sleeves, collars, necklines, waistlines and skirts that enhance the simplest silhouettes without overwhelming.

Other important embellishments include bows, ties, pearls, lace - plain or beaded with pearls and sequins - cutouts and Ital­ian crystals.

Of course, white still rules, but today’s dresses offer some other acceptable alterna­tives.

Ivory, champagne, cream, salmon and blush pink are tasteful tints for the dress itself. Colorful accents, such as yellow roses blooming around a plunging V-neckline, a baby blue sash or silver and gold trims, add adornment without detracting from the overall look.

There’s no need to skimp on the satin. So go ahead and pile on the seed pearls if you wish, even if your wedding purse is limited.

The reason: Since more designers are cre­ating wonderful gowns in the lesser price ranges, a wonderful wedding dress often­times can be had for less than $500. You also can find reasonably priced wedding dresses in mainstream department stores.

Another option: Pattern companies now offer complete wedding lines, so you can stitch up a dress that looks as beautiful - yet is less expensive - than one just off the rack.

Informal fashions are increasingly popu­lar with brides planning an equally casual celebration, mature brides who want the dresses to be expressions of their personal style or those marrying for the second time around.

Taking their inspiration from ready-to- wear, an informal dress might translate into short and smart separates that the bride can wear again.

Another hot concept: The bridal mini. More sexy than sweet, this abbreviated number is twisted and turned in a variety of flattering ways, such as a minidress with a bustier bodice topped with an elegant floor- length coat and chapel train for a happy mix of contemporary and traditional.

And, that’s just the tip of the wedding cake. Additionally, there are dresses that celebrate tradition, those that follow time- tested themes such as country or Southern belle and gowns that tread on the heels of haute couture.

There are so many dresses and so little time, in fact, that a bride-to-be might find herself scrambling to find the dress of her dreams and still make it to the church on time - unless she embarks on her search with a plan.

Following are some tips that will help make your wedding dress wanderings as pleasurable as falling in love.

• Research, research: Time spent pour­ing over bridal magazines, planners and books is a necessary pleasure. As y,ou.rcvicw

literally hundreds of dresses in the comfort of your home, keep in mind the theme and degree of formality of your celebration, as well as your own personal style.

Cut out the picture you like - even if it’s just a sleeve here or a bodice there - to take along on your shopping trip later. This will save you loads of legwork once you start combing the racks.

You also can gain ideas about bridal fash­ions by attending a bridal fair, many feature fashion shows for an up-close-and-personal look at the dresses themselves.

Another idea: Keep an eye on the run­ways. Wedding designers often take take inspiration from haute couture, and the world’s top designers usually feature a bride in their collections.

• Stick to a schedule: You’ve heard the sartorial nightmares. The dress that arrived three days before the wedding three sizes too small. Mixed-up deliveries that put the wrong dress at the wrong wedding. The bride who gained 20 pounds between fit­tings. -

Fortunately, such disasters are few and far between, thanks to today’s emphasis on customer service. But just to play it safe, wedding experts advise that you order your dress a good six months before the wedding.

Confirm the delivery date three months before your trip down the aisle and have your final dress fitting six to eight weeks before the big day.

And once it arrives, you should try on your dress at least once or twice just for safety’s sake. Just make sure the grOom-to- be is not around.

• Shop smart: Get recommendations for the best bridal boutiques and department stores from friends, relatives or a reliable bridal consultant.

• Once you’ve drawn up a list, make some phone calls and schedule appointments with the ones you plan to visit so you’ll be guar­anteed some personal attention.

Bring along your fashion clippings, an honest friend or relative with an eye for fashion and a list of questions covering mat­ters such as alterations, customer service, refunds, deliveries and the projected timeta­ble if your dress has to be ordered from the manufacturer.

Pay as much attention to your rapport with the salesperson as you do to the dresses themselves. Is she helpful and does she real­ly listen to you? Is this a person you can work with in the crucial weeks to come?

If the answer is yes and you find your dream dress, be sure to have all the prom­ises backed up in writing before you make a deposit.

• Leave no stone unturned: Wonderful wedding dresses often appear in some unex­pected spots.

Vintage wedding wear, for instance, hangs in many antique shops. Only-worn- once dresses uncovered in second-hand shops or even in the newspaper’s classified sections are waiting to be had at a fraction of what you would pay for something new.

Brides on a shoestring might consider renting a dress, borrowing one and having it altered or purchasing a sample from a bridal boutique or department store. A personal shopper who has access to bridal show­rooms also might be able to uncover a bri­dal bargain.

If you sew or know someone who does, you can concoct your own bridal creation with a pattern and several yards of unforget­table fabric. There are even patterns that allow you to design your own dress.

You also might find the perfect wedding dress in the regular sections of your favorite boutiques and department stores. An exam­ple: A recent spread in Martba Stewart’s Living magazine featured a radiant bride in a white, satin-trimmed cashmere sweater and a tea-length circle skirt floating over underskirts of tulle.

a r e i n c r e d i b l eN o w ed d in g is com plete w ith o u t the

bride, her groom - and a cake.But while etiquette used to call for a

tiered, all-white confection, today it can :ome in any flavor, color or shape. And the topper no longer need be the traditional bride-and-groom figurine.

Today’s wedding cake is just as likely to be a fondant frosted chocolate cake as it is to be a spice cake with coconut filling.

Its frosting frills are just as likely to be black-and-white as pastel, and it’s more than possible that the flowers adorning the rake will be real rather than a confection.

For show-stopping surprise, the cake may be shaped as an airplane, castle of the state of Texas rather than a tiered tower.

The choices and potential combinations are endless, and there are as many different ~ake ornaments as there are kinds and styles of cakes - just check out the profusion at various party stores, stationery shops or ba­keries.

One bride may select the classic plastic bride and groom standing side by side, en­veloped by pastel netting. Another may opt for the whimsy o f cartoonlike ceramic fig­ures or stuffed toy animals.

Couples who share special interests top cakes with tiny scuba divers, skiers, el­ephants, dinosaurs or seashells; nostalgic couples may borrow the toppers from a par­ent's cake or have a crystal work o f art cre­ated to become a new family heirloom.

Those who relish the idea o f an iced, white wedding cake topped with bride and groom can go for the unusual with the tradi­tion o f a groom’s cake, generally a spice or chocolate cake sculpted in an imaginative shape. Current custom holds that it is cut and served along with the wedding cake to give guests an option o f flavor.

C h a n g i n g l i f e s t y l e s a f f e c t g i f t sThe bridal season is here. Although wed­

dings take place all year long, June remains firmly entrenched as the favorite month for weddings.

What has changed is the bride. Today, at an average age o f 24, she is older than in any previous generation. And second marriages are on the rise.

The older age o f today’s brides and the increasing rate o f remarriages mean that most women have furnished at least a small household. .

The centuries-old tradition o f wedding gifts, and the American innovation o f the bridal shower were designed originally to outfit a first home.

Now, a new look at gift-giving is required in order to meet the contemporary lifestyle o f today’s bride. Black & Decker, a leading manufacturer o f small appliances for the home, offers the following suggestions:

Select gifts that match the couple’s life­style. In many cases today, both spouses work. Working women require items that make work around the house easier.

Easy-to-use food preparation appliances, such as Black & Decker’s HandyChopper Mincer/Chopper - can save time and effort every day. Fast and easy operation and dishwasher-safe parts will make a working woman’s life easier.

Coffeemakers that can be set to automat­

ically begin brewing before breakfast will prevent a morning rush for the couple.

Consider high quality small appliances. Many couples already own “ the basics,” so gift-giving offers an opportunity to upgrade. Given the popularity o f both thermal car­afes and coffeemakers as requested gifts, ’ ’trade up” to a special appliance that com­bines both - Black & Decker’s Thermal Car­afe Coffeemaker.

It doesn’t have a hot plate, so the contin­uous heating that can make coffee bitter is elim in ated ; instead, the therm al carafe keeps coffee “just brewed” for hours.

Practical gifts are often welcome. The Bri­dal Market Retail Spending Study, con­ducted by “ Modern Bride” magazine, re-, ports that h an d-h eld v acu u m s, like the Dustbuster, top the list o f household appli­ances, followed by microwaves.

T h e c o n v e n ie n t D u stb u ste r v a c can quickly pick up spills and messes. Some models come with a power brush attach­ment that is ideal for carpeted stairs and upholstery.

A s can be expected, there are some varia­tions in gift selection between first-time and second-marriage brides. I f you stick with selections that are both highly requested and up-to-date - such as thermal carafe cof­feemakers and food processors - your gift will be on target for today’s bride.

f r a m e s , g l a s s w a r eWhat do today’s brides and grooms want

as wedding gifts?If you’re looking for ideas for that perfect

present, there’s no place like Homewares Ltd. — a dream come true for newlyweds and “wedding shoppers” alike.

Not only is the store filled with every­thing from glassware and cookware to tables and closet systems, but it’s a pleasure to browse. .

Homewares Ltd. is located in the Galleria Building, 2-40 Bridge Ave., Red Bank (across from Danny’s).

Owner Alan Hudson explains the history of the 100-year-old building includes its use as a manufacturing plant for World War I and II uniforms. The brick walls and high ceilings attest to its former use as a factory and make it a fun place to shop.

Merchandise is attractively displayed within several rooms.

Homewares Ltd. features the finest, best- quality products with everyday, low prices. Hudson’s philosophy is to keep the prices low year round, rather than offering peri­odic sales.

“I’d feel like I was cheating my customers if I sold an item one day at a higher price, and the next day at a lower one,” Hudson says. “Manufacturer outlet pricing is offered all the time.”

With an interesting array of merchandise at Homewares Ltd., gift-giving is made easy. A bridal registry also is available, or, if you’d prefer the couple to make their own decisions, gift certificates can be purchased.

Picture frames and photo albums are popular gifts and there’s no better place to

find the style and size you want than at Homewares Ltd.

In selecting glassware or stemware for the newlyweds, Hudspn notes that today’s more informal lifestyle minimizes the need for a great variety of glass types and sizes.

A growing interest in entertaining gra­ciously encourages the use o f stemmed glasses on a day-to-day basis, and the large selection will blend with any taste, from tra­ditional to contemporary. Young couples seem to enjoy glassware that doesn’t have to be treated with kid gloves; they like ones that can be placed in the dishwasher.

“The water goblet, an all-purpose wine glass and sherbert or champagne glasses are the most popular,” Hudson explains.

Cooking will be a pleasure with Home­ware’s quality pots, pans, utensils and gad­gets, plus cookbooks to help give the new­lywed recipe ideas.

Dinette sets feature beautiful, solid maple tables that are manufactured exclusively for Homewares Ltd. If an unusual-sized table is needed, it can be custom made. Whether the decor is country or contemporary, these ta­bles and chairs will be a focal point of any kitchen or dining room. They’re color coor­dinated and for a truly unique look.

Hudson has artists available to paint or stencil a design or wallpaper pattern on ta­bles, bar stools or chairs to blend with any interior.

Another room at Homewares Ltd. has closet systems.

“If people call a closet expert into their homes, the cost is usually $100 per linear foot,” Hudson explains. “Just bring in your measurements, and we will help you design a system for approximately 60 percent less and our systems are easy to install.”

When the warmer weather arrives, the emphasis will be on outdoor living. With Homewares Ltd.’s summer shop, the couple will be ready for entertaining with its com­plete line of outside dinnerware.

D r a m a t i c p r o p o s a l s a r e i n v o g u e t o d a yYou’re engaged, and suddenly everyone’s

got advice for you - your mother, his moth­er, friends and relatives, perhaps even grandparents. They all mean well, but as a bride of the ’90s, you have the freedom to do things your way.

According to “ Bride’s” magazine, en­gaged couples of just a generation ago fol­lowed a much stricter code of wedding “rul­es” than do brides and bridegrooms now. Today, you can choose to follow the tradi­tions that mean most to you, and tailor the rules to suit your style.

The proposalThen: The bridegroom asked the bride’s

father for her hand.Now: The couple decides to marry, and

tUe proposal may be dramatic - a diamond in a champagne glass; the words, “Will you marry me?” flashed across a stadium scoreboard. News of the engagement is FAXed to family and friends.

The invitationsThen: Invitations were formal, engraved,

and issued by the bride’s parents.Now: Invitations reflect the spirit of the

celebration. They may be etched on glass, printed on hand-painted cards, collaged from memorabilia of the couple’s courtship, lettered on scrolls.

The brideThen: The bride’s full-time job was to

work on wedding details with her mother.Now: Career-minded brides don’t let

wedding planning disrupt their jobs. Week­ends and lunch hours are prime planning times, and an increasing number of profes­sional brides-to-be hire a wedding, consul­

tant to handle the specifics of the event.

The bridegroomThen: All that was expected of him was to

show up on the wedding day.Now: He takes part in planning his wed­

ding, interviewing photographers, screening bands and helping select the wedding menu.

The showerThen: Women gathered for an afternoon

to shower the bride with household items, linen, lingerie.

Now: Showers may be coed - and at night- and with gift themes that revolve around the couple’s interests.

The siteThen: Couples planned to marry in a

church, synagogue, hotel or at home.Now: The trend is toward ceremonial

sites which evoke a sense of history or have a special appeal - an elegant Victorian man­sion, a museum, or a spacious loft, for ex­ample.

The cakeThen: The bride’s cake was a white, tiered

confection with white frosting, and a plastic bride and groom on top.

Now: Cakes are creative works, decorated expressly to com plem ent the wedding theme. Flavors are for sophisticated palates- spice, carrot, cheesecake, lemon, orange, chocolate mocha, and sometimes all of them at once.

To top it off, couples choose something special: a pair of crystal swans, a miniature flower basket, Mickey and Minnie figurines, or a custom-made bride and bridegroom painted to resemble themselves.

W h y n o t c o n s i d e r r e c e p t i o n

T h e m e w e d d i n g s

r a n g e f r o m s a f a r i s

t o V i c t o r i a n t e a sJust as wedding vows make a couple’s

dream of a life together reality, so too can a reception make fantasy come to life.

Most bridal couples want a blowout bash - the perfect location, impressive dec­or, tantalizing food and drink, thrilling en­tertainment and a dramatic farewell.

Of course, the range of possibilities in each of these categories is immense - from a sit-down hotel dinner with getaway limou­sine to a ski resort’s serve-yourself chili bar with getaway horse-and-sleigh.

Many brides find it easier to make deci­sions and manage the affair if the party’s centered around a theme. Whether a holi­day, historical time, honeymoon location or mutual interest, a theme automatically makes some choices jump out as perfect and eliminates others.

Considering a Fourth of July reception? Start off at a location with Revoluntionary War significance, then serve an all-Ameri­can barbecue with ice cream desserts on ta­bles dressed in red, white and blue cloths. For estra pizzazz, include sparklers in cen­terpieces, and offer a grand finale of fire­works.

Headed off on a honeymoon safari? Dec­orate a room with tropical blooms, potted palms and play wildlife tapes - or rent a zoo, aquarium or garden for the reception site. Have African drums herald your arri­val at the reception, dress the bartender in pith helmet and khaki shorts, hire jungle dancers as entertainment.

Both loves horses? Consider a ranch, racetrack or carousel for the site, a horse­shoe-shaped cake, a head table decorated as a starting gate and pony rides for children in attendance. Make your getaway in a horse- drawn carriage or doubled up in a saddle on your favorite steed.

Consider nothing more dreamy than a proper Victorian tea? Serve pastries, finger sandwiches and fruits from silver platters and top each table with a silver teapot full of w ildflow ers. Hire a string quartet for stirringly subtle background music, then se­tup a croquet game and badminton net. Make your first dance “Tea for Two.”

How about a day of Parisian romance with French cuisine and roving sketch art­ists in berets; or a day at the circus with a bigtop over the head table, clowns and acro­bats; or a m edieval fest with jousting matches; or a nautical day set on a yacht with a seafood buffet, seashell centerpieces and assistants dressed in sailor outfits; or a tribute to the Old South at a historic man­sion with Dixieland band, mint juleps and Cajun food.

That’s just a brief look at conceivable themes - a starting point to set you ponder­ing possibilities for your own special cele­bration.

While most bridal couples want perfec­tion down to the last detail, wedding-day reality is that fantasy is costly. So most cou­ples compromise a bit.

To begin, set a budget and then deter­mine what aspects of the celebration are most special to you and, therefore, deserv­ing o f greater expenditure. Then, scale down the rest of the frills to meet the bottom line.

They key to trimming costs overall is to start early in making selections that give you time to shop around for the best bar­gains, from champagne to getaway sleigh.

If budgetary concerns mandate that you abandon an estravagant theme - or if you dislike the idea of an elaborate theme alto­gether - don’t despair. Even a single stun­ning element can make the day estraordi- nary, from location to food to mementos.

Spectacular sites to consider, from the es- pected to the offbeat include: ballrooms, ho­tels, country clubs, castles, farms, gardens, resorts, m useums, m ansions, theaters, boats, trains, nightclubs, parks, libraries, de­serts and canyons.

Most people can’t resist fun food, so find a caterer to prepare crepes or omelets with the guests’ choice of filling. Or set up chili, pasta or sundae buffets. The key is to find a caterer who can clue in to your desires, with a mind to presentation and service as well as food.

To fill in the time between ceremony and reception - when the newlyweds traditional­ly have photos taken - hire mimes, comedi­ans or magicians to entertain guests.

Add a distinctive international flavor with a nod to ethnic background or coun­tries of origin. Pair U.S. and Australian flags in the centerpieces, for example, or hire strolling mariachi bands or Middle Eastern folk dancers as entertainment.

Use music to express your personal fami­ly history as well. In addition to the bridal couple’s favorite song, ask the band leader or disc jockey to play the tunes that brought the bridal couple’s parents or grandparents together.

Key in to the power of color. The drama of an all-white wedding is appropriate any­time of year, and many holidays suggest pal­ettes o f their own - red-and-white for Christmas or Valentine’s Day, green for St. Patrick’s Day, black-and-white with touches of orange for Halloween.

Give each guest a wedding memento. Per­haps a photo of the couple, personalized with a warm message, at each place setting. Or a bottle of vintage wine from the wed­ding year, relabeled with the names of bride and groom and the wedding date.

And always leave them in style - on a gondola, sailboat, motorbike, hot-air bal­loon, jingle-bell sleigh or bicycle-built-for- two.

L a t e s t t r e n d s i n b r i d a l a t t i r eFor the wedding-party, dresses are short,

flirty, splashed with playful prints or satu­rated in candy colors (shoes are dyed to match). Separates also swing into the sea­son, states “Bride’s” magazine, with roman­tic sheer blouses atop ballerina-length skirts. Best-dressed buys:

Fabrics - organza, cotton, Lycra, taffeta, re-embroidered or stretch lace, tulle, chif­fon, ottoman, faille, linen.

Prints - polka dots, gingham, stripes, plaid, exotic flowers.

Separates - Lycra or organza blouse with a sweeping skirt of taffeta or cotton with a self-sash or belt.

Short dresses made in chiffon-like fabrics (in yellow, pink, lavender, mint, pale blue) that float down the aisle.

Open backs with crisscross straps.

Short dresses with detachable tulle overs­kirts.

Iridescent taffetas in sherbet shades (mint, icy blue, yellow).

Patriotic colors - solid blue, blue and white stripes, red jersey top with red tafetta bell skirt and blue sash.

Formal wear for the bridegroom, best man and ushers go high fashion with lus­trous fabrics and a variety of colored acces­sories. The fashion industry’s focus:

Fabrics - luxurious silky fibers.Black with subtle flecks of red, pink,

green or burgundy.White and ivory dinner jackets remain

strong.Lapels - peaked, shawl, notched.Tailcoats stay in the spotlight.Accessories - bold colors, stripes, and flo­

rals for ties, vests and cummerbunds.

Financial planning is probably the last thing on the minds of most prospective brides and bridegrooms. However, it is one of the most important issues they will face as a couple.

To avoid what (according to various re­ports) will probably be the cause of their first fight, couples need to sit down together, share information on their financial re­sources and credit histories, and establish a working plan for their finances well before they march down the aisle.

New couples’ financial planning starts with “yours, mine and ours” - your pre­vious bills and responsibilities, my previous payments and savings, and our joint in­comes, investments and lines of credit.

Both parties have to make equitable deci­sions at the very beginning on how to han­dle debts and combine current resources.

Here are some general guidelines offered by Gold MasterCard that will help you get started on your financial plan:

- Decide up front who will be the best person to pay the bills and balance the checkbook. It usually works best if one per­son takes over this responsibility, but you can try rotating once or twice a year.

- Start a joint checking account by pool­ing your paychecks or agreeing on a set amount you will both contribute to the ac­count.

- Earmark a percentage of joint income

the bills.- Decide how much of a cash allowance

each of you will have between paydays and stick to it.

- Review the status of your credit cards and consider joint accounts to achieve high­er credit lines.

If one of you has a gold bankcard, such as a Gold MasterCard card, or your combined income qualifies you for this card, consider that it may offer a credit limit that is high enough to accommodate you both.

Gold MasterCard will simplify your bud­geting and record-keeping by allowing you to write one check at the end of 30 days for many purchases.

It also offers cardholders retail protection and travel assistance services, such as Pur­chase Assurance and Extended Warranty, Master RoadAssist emergency roadside as­sistance, plus MasterLegal and MasterAssist Medical Protection legal and medical refer­ral services.

Once you have made your joint financial plan, commit to periodic “economic sum­mits” to review its status and make nec­essary adjustments.

All services are provided by Access America Service Corp. except for Master RoadAssist. Certain restrictions and limita­tions apply, details to be provided upon card membership.

B r i d e ’s m a g a z i n e

l i s t s l a s t e s t t r e n d s

i n w e d d i n g f i n e r yBrides this season can have it all - the

understated elegance of pure lines, luxe fab­rics, and discreet details; the fantasy of a garden neckline of colorful silk flowers; the insouciance of a short, flared skirt.

Color emerges like never before with all- over pastels; tinted overlays and underlays; head-to-toe embroidery; and flecks of gold, silver, and platinum. Yet, every new design captures the ageless romance and charm of the bride.

Bride’s magazine presents the hottest trends and most alluring looks for brides, maids, mothers, bridegrooms and ushers.

Fabulous fabrics include Crisp transpa­rencies - organza, silk gazar, a profusion of tulle layers, point dUesprit;

Frosted effects - iridescent hues, pearl- ized fabric;

Matte mixed with shiny, such as satin with lightweight taffeta;

Fluid, two-ply crepe;Rich textures - floral jacquard, ottoman,

faille, silk doupioni, panne velvet;Laces - guipure, re-embroidered, Alen-

con, Venetian, Chantilly, eyelet;Dimensional surfaces - pique, quilted

fabrics;Sheer shades - whitened pastels add a

pearlized look to white or ivory;Metallics - gold or silver threads, beads,

plain or crepe;Embellishments - dimensional flowers of

silk or self-fabrics blooming around the neckline, strewed about the skirt, hem bor­der, and train; colored embroidery; pastel beading; jeweling and/or pearls concen­trated on collar, cuffs, hemline; a soft bow gracing the neckline, waist, bustle.

Shapely silhouettes include:Pure lines - elongated bell-shaped skirts

gathered at the hips; A-lines;Necklines - open, rounded square; scoop;

bateau; high wedding-band collars;The waist as a focal point - nipped and

cinched with a sash;Silk columns with narrow fishtail bot­

toms or flyaway trains sweeping down from the back of the shoulders;

Trains - the extra-long monarch length; a soft, oversized bustle bow.

Short dresses are a growing option for the sophisticated bride or an encore wedding. Shapes are borrowed from the most elegant evening wear, reinterpreted with a bridal influence. New lengths:

Above-the-knee and flared; short bell shapes;

A short dress with a detachable ball-gown overskirt that can be removed after the cere­mony;

The high-low hemline - above-the-knee length in front, flowing to a dramatic sweep train in back;

A play on separates - a short slip dress paired with a matching coat; tunic top over a short, slim skirt;

The softly tailored above-the-knee coat- dress; buttons, lapels, and cuffs are embel­lished with pearls, jewels or lace.

Accessories are uncluttered, dimensional, and designed to complement the sculpted floral detailing and color accents of the new gowns. The hottest headpieces:

Embellished headbands - with silk flow­ers, allover pearls, silk cording, accents that mimic dress details;

Soft bows worn at the back of the head;Tiaras made of crystals or pearls - sized

small enough to wear with hair up or large enough to sit on the crown of the head; Veils - circular veils with pearl, crystal, or metallic embellishments; heirloom lace made into a veil;

Hoods with long, flowing attached trains;Softly tailored, raised pillboxes wrapped

with tulle that trails down in back.Shoe shapes: high heels are still high on

the list, but new shapes offer sohisticated style - and comfort, to boot. Stepping out on the scene:

Elongated fronts with square toes and elaborate embellishment; chiseled, curved, or skinny heels;

Ribbon treatment on ankles and shoe fronts;

Jeweled satin shoes.For legs, colors include white, off-white,

or ivory for the bride; pastels (matching dresses and shoes) for bridesmaids;

Thigh-highs and stockings with garters.The bouquet today:This year’s bouquet is small, tight, and

refined - but decidedly special in its choice of blooms, textures;

Biedermeiers, posies, and nosegays in a variety of shapes and styles;

Wired and handtied blossoms in one bou­quet;

All-white bouquets of lilies of the valley, fleur d’amour, and serena roses for formal celebrations; '

Mixed tones and unusual textures for semiformal, informal, weddings;

Out-of-season blooms (now available through imports and hothouses) which add unusual hues to the traditional palette;

Bouquet alternatives - garlands; gowns trimmed with fresh or silk flowers; fresh- flower necklaces, hair ornaments.

C h o o s e b e s t h o n e y m o o n h a v e nAfter all the hectic planning for the wed­

ding and the emotions of the big day itself, it’s important for the bride and bridegroom to get away and begin their life together. Selecting the best honeymoon spot for the couple takes planning, according to Jim Schmitt of Freehold Travel.

“Whether they have just a long weekend or an extended vacation, it’s best to discuss travel arrangements with an expert,” Schmitt adds.

“The couple has to decide on a budget, what type of trip they’d like - one with ro­mantic, leisurely activities or a location with lots of sightseeing - and work out all the details ahead of time,” he says. “A trav­el agent can provide all the necessary data, from the costs to the type of resort or hidea­way best suited to the couple.”

Some of Schmitt’s suggestions include Bermuda — only two hours from Newark. But the time of year should be considered since Bermuda’s water is chilly until April, rains begin in October and the winter can be quite cool. Hawaii is popular all year but a bit rainy from January to March. One-week

package trips are available to Hawaii.Disney World is a favorite honeymoon

spot with its super hotels, water-skiing and tennis. Even if the couple has been there before, there are always new things to see.

Seven-day cruises depart from Florida or the islands and the prices are all inclusive so there are no surprise $100 dinners or cover charges for shows. Europe is a good consid­eration but on the expensive side. The pack­age tours are usually the best buys and make a European trip more affordable.

“Cancun, Mexico, is the best year-round buy, ’ Schmitt notes, “because too many ho­tels were built for the present economy. A couple can get a seven-day package, airfare and hotel accommodations for under $600 each.”

Three or four day cruises can cost as little as a trip to the Poconos. If the budget is very limited, bed-and-breakfast or small inns right in New Jersey may be right for the couple. But whatever destination is chosen, the honeymoon should allow the time for the couple to focus on each other and relax after the wedding.

Homewares Ltd. offers ideas for choosing the right gift

What do today’s brides and grooms want as wedding gifts?

If you’re looking for ideas for that perfect present, there’s no place like Homewares Ltd. — a dream come true for newlyweds and “wedding shoppers” alike. Not only is the store filled with everything from glassware and cookware to tables, chairs and closet systems, but it’s a pleasure to browse in its fascinating atmosphere.

Homewares Ltd. is located in the Galleria Building, 2-40 Bridge Ave., Red Bank (across from Danny’s). Owner Alan Hudson explains the history of the 100-year-old building includes its use as a manufacturing plant for World War I and II uniforms. The brick walls, high ceilings and lofty architec­ture attest to its former use as a factory and make it a fun place to shop. Merchandise is attractively displayed within several rooms. For customers’ convenience, there’s a large parking lot adjacent to the building.

Homewares, Ltd. features the finest, best quality products with everyday, low prices. Hudson’s philosophy is to keep the prices low year round, rather than offering period­ic sales. “I’d feel like I was cheating my customers if I sold an item one day at a higher price, and the next day at a lower one,” he adds. “Manufacturer outlet pricing is offered all the time.”

With an interesting array of merchandise at Homewares Ltd., gift-giving is made easy. A bridal registry is also available, or, if you’d prefer the couple to make their own decisions, gift certificates can be purchased.

Picture frames and photo albums are po­pular gifts and there’s no better place to find the style and size you want than at Home­wares Ltd. One large rooom is filled with fram es — from m in iatures to poster frames, in lucite, silver, brass, gold-tone, wood and more.

In selecting glassware or stemware for the newlyweds, Hudson notes that today’s more informal lifestyle minimizes the need for a great variety of glass types and sizes. A growing interest in entertaining graciously encourages the use of stemmed glasses on a day-to-day basis and the large selection will blend with any taste, from traditional to contemporary. Young couples seem to enjoy glassware that doesn’t have to be treated with kid gloves, they like ones that can be placed in the dishwasher. Home­wares Ltd. has glasses of all types and to fit any budget. “The water goblet, an all-pur­pose wine glass and sherbert or champagne glasses are the most popular,” Hudson ex­plains.

Cooking will be a pleasure with Home­ware’s quality pots, pans, utensils and gad­gets, plus cookbooks to help give the new­lywed recipe ideas. Start cooking with Calphalon cookware — complete sets are sold or buy individual pieces...all at the eve­ryday, low prices.

Dinette sets feature beautiful, solid maple tables that are manufactured exclusively for Homewares Ltd. If an unusual size table is needed, it can be custom made. Whether the decor is country or contemporary, these ta­bles and chairs will be a focal point of any kitchen or dining room. They’re color coor­dinated and for a truly unique look, Hudson has artists available to paint or stencil a design or wallpaper pattern on tables, bar stools or chairs to blend with any interior.

Another room at Homewares Ltd. has clo­set systems to provide efficient use of space. “If people call a closet expert into their homes, the cost is usually $100 per linear foot,” Hudson explains. “Just bring in your measurements and we will help you design a system for approximately 60 percent less and our systems are easy to install.”

f o r m e m o r i e sA wedding cake will make some of your

“sweetest” wedding memories, so choose a gorgeous cake made expressly for you and your bridegroom.

Charming customs have surrounded the tradition of wedding cakes for centuries. Bridesmaids once believed they would dream of the man they would marry if a morsel of cake were tucked in a stocking under their pillow. And, today, for good luck, brides and brodegrooms freeze the top layer for sharing on their first anniversary.

This popular ritual can be made even more special when your cake is made to order. The top layer - saved to savor after your first year of marriage - is especially fun to select as a couple.

For example, you might choose a favorite flavor - such as carrot or chocolate cake - or it might be filled with raspberry jam.

To ensure that your cake stays moist and delicious, package the top layer carefully to store in the freezer. Wrap it airtight - first in plastic wrap, then in heavy-duty aluminum foil - and place the cake in a rigid box to protect delicate decorations.

Another way to individualize your cake is with beautiful ornaments and accessories by giftware designer Ellen Williams. These che­rished keepsakes are beautifully made with laces and trims, and each ornament can be mixed and matched with fresh flowers, greenery or any other accessories in her de­signer series.

The Ellen Williams’ Designer Series of Cake Top Ornaments, along with many oth­er cake ornaments and accessories, is avail­able exclusively through Wilton Enterprises, a leader in wedding cake design and decora­tion for more than a quarter of a century.

Ask your bakery for details or write to Wilton, 2240 W. 75th St., Woodridge, 111. 60517, or call I-(708) 963-7100.

woman, he doesn’t always examine their vital statistics first.

That’s why some brides find themselves marching down the aisle to marry men who are significantly older - or younger - than themselves.

While age is seldom an obstacle to these couples’ love, an article in a recent issue of “Bride’s” Magazine suggests that it does have a subtle yet strong impact on marriage.

Author Miriam Arond addresses some of the special challenges that lie ahead for these “age-gap” couples:

than her bridegroom’s. Older women are often eager to have children long before their husbands feel ready to become fathers.

A younger woman who marries a man with children from a previous marriage may find that her desire to start a family right away isn’t reciprocated. And the pressure can come from him, too - especially if he’s older and wants to spend time with his chil­dren while he’s still young, healthy and en­ergetic.

Money: Should money be spent on mo­mentary pleasures, or invested towards a secure and comfortable future? Older and younger partners’ views often clash when it comes to cash. .

Felice, a woman 12 years her husband’s

junior, was surprised by his insistence that they invest in life insurance, plan for retire­ment, and make up a will. “I wouldn’t have thought about these things if he hadn’t brought them up,” she said.

Health: Concerns for a partner’s health invade every marriage, and they can be par­ticularly troublesome if he or she is much older. A younger wife may find herself nag­ging her husband to have regular checkups, watching what he eats, and worrying if she’ll be alone when she gets older.

Cultural background: People who grew up in the ’50s, ’60s or ’70s often have dramati­cally different perspectives on everything from politics to morality to humor. Even finding music that both partners enjoy

dancing to is a challenge to some “age-gap” couples.

Spending time with the other’s friends can be disorienting, too, when they seem more like parents (or children) than peers.

Jealousy: Jealousy is seldom an issue ear­ly in the marriage. But a partner who turns 40 while the other is barely 30 may fear that he or she will begin to look for a more youthful companion.

Couples who learn to respect each other’s differences rather than challenge them will find that love overcomes many contradic­tions. While it may be true that love is blind, “age-gap” couples who open their eyes to the issues that lie ahead can smooth the path to a happier marriage.

Diversity, value lead way in today’s honeymoon trendsThe key trends for honeymoons in the

’90s are diversity and value, so destinations and resorts are enticing honeymooners with 1992 vacations that cater to every style and budget.

Newlyweds who like being on the go can enjoy world-class scuba diving, snorkeling, windsurfing, hiking, fishing and sailing on the Netherlands Antilles island of Bonaire. There’s even a learn-to-dive honeymoon package.

With no traffic lights and more pink fla­mingos than people, Bonaire is a perfect get- away-from-it-all honeymoon destination.

Island properties offer a range of honey­moon packages, starting as low as $877 per person for an eight-day/seven-night stay, through December.

For more information, contact any travel agent or the Tourism Corporation of Bo­naire at 800-U-BONAIR/826-8247.

Peter Island Resort & Yacht Harbour, an

1,800-acre private island Caribbean retreat is perfect for couples seeking a luxurious getaway. With only 50 guest rooms and five beaches, newlyweds are assured total seclu­sion.

The seven-night Island Romance package is available June 1-Dec. 20, and includes all meals, full use of the resort’s facilities, ro­mantic day sail, airport transfers and more. Package rates, per couple, are $2,580 for ocean view rooms, and $3,350 for beach front rooms. For more information and res­ervations, call. 800-346-4451 or 616-776­6456.

Set amid 2,000 acres in New York’s his­toric Hudson and Delaware valleys, The Concord Resort Hotel on Kiamesha Lake has been a favorite among honeymooners for more than 50 years.

Literally dozens of activities are available to honeymooners. The sports-oriented can enjoy 45 holes of championship golf, includ­ing the world-famed “Monster” course, a

40-court indoor/outdoor tennis complex, an 8,000-square foot fitness center, indoor and outdoor pools, horseback riding, and more.

Together with fine dining and top-name entertainm ent, two bars, a d isco and lounges, The Concord promises non-stop excitement for newlyweds. For rate and package information, call 800-431-3850.

The island retreat formerly owned by Ju­lio Iglesias is an exotic setting for a new hideaway resort called Hana Iti in a seclud­ed corner of French Polynesia.

Situated on 54 acres of stunning terrain, the resort is located on the island of Hua- hine, 110 miles northwest of Tahiti.

Hana Iti offers 26 cliff-hanging thatched fares (villas) with private gardens, outdoor jacuzzis and panoramic views of the lagoon and ocean.

Valid through Dec. 31, a nightly rate of $700 per couple includes everything from com plim entary water sports to a well- stocked refrigerator in each room.

For more information, call Resorts Man­agement Inc., 800-225-4255 or 212-696­4566.

The historic Equinox Resort in Manches­ter Village, Vt., is New England’s most sce­nic and diverse vacation destination.

The Equinox offers year-round sporting and cultural activities and attractions. Ten­nis, swimming, hiking, biking, golf and much more are available on the 1,100-acre resort or nearby.

The resort’s honeymoon package, featur­ing three nights deluxe lodging, with an up­grade to a suite when available, is priced at $257 per person through May 22, and $277 per person, May 23 through Sept. 18.

The package includes a complimentary bottle of champagne and flowers, use of the fitness center with a complimentary mas­sage or herbal wrap, and use of mountain bikes in season.

For reservations, call the Equinox Resort, 800-362-4747 or 802-362-4700.

T i p s f o r c o u p l e s w h o r e m a r r y

E t i q u e t t e b o o k s

a d d r e s s i s s u e s

s e c o n d - t i m e r s f a c eLove, in many cases, is better the second

time around.As mature adults, you know what you

want, and you know how to go about getting it.

Naturally you want your wedding to re­flect your good sense as well as your new­found happiness.

Most couples would like a simple second wedding, but things often get complicated.

Should you, for example, invite your for­mer in-laws? If his divorce is not final, is it OK to wear your engagement ring? And who pays for what?

Let common sense reign. If you’re fond of your former husband’s parents (after all, they’re your children’s grandparents), by all means invite them - providing you’re confi­dent they’ll feel at ease and wish you joy.

Be sensitive to the feelings of people from past relationships. You can accept this ring but not wear it in public as long as he’s legally someone else’s husband.

As for wedding expenses, spare your par­ents - especially if your first was lavish. Couples who remarry typically plan and pay for the wedding themselves.

New etiquette books address issues com­mon to second-timers. You’ll find advice on everything from the wording of invitations to whether bridal showers are appropriate (they’re not; but “parties in honor o f...” are OK).

“Emily Post’s Etiquette: A Guide to Mod­em Manners” by Elizabeth L. Post (Harper & Row) even suggests what to do with the diamonds in your first wedding ring.

“Although the wardrobe departments of Hollywood and TV-land often don’t seem to realize it, a woman marrying even for the fourth time should emote a sense of dignity appropriate for the occasion,” advises Leti- tia Baldrige in her “Complete Guide to the New Manners for the ’90s” (Rawson Asso­ciates).

Second-time brides will want to avoid a face veil and train. Wearing white is OK, but ivory or shades of pastel are preferable; Elizabeth Taylor, you may recall, recently wore yellow. Red and black are inappro­priate for all but the avant-garde.

Gowns for remarrying brides may be short or long, depending on the time of day and formality of the occasion. Crisply tai­lored styles seem to be replacing those that are ornate, beaded and bodyhugging. Think classical: fitted bodices, full skirts, sparing use of beads and lace.

In general, dresses are elegant, feminine and above all, flattering to the bride. The attire of the groom and attendants should harmonize with the bride’s.

Where do you shop for your dress? Bridal

boutiques, department stores (check the for- malwear department), resale boutiques and, for creative sew-it-yourselfers, yardage shops.

Bridal fairs offer showings of the latest in bridal attire, plus displays and eshibits by wedding consultants, hotels, bands, banquet facilities, jewelers, stationers, travel agents and more.

“Neither of us espected any financial problems,” says Curtis Hartman in Invest­ment V ision m agazine. “After all, we weren’t kids; we both had Cuisinarts and IRAs, patio furniture and investment port­folios.”

But Hartman discovered that many who remarry find themselves at odds over finan­cial matters. Fortunately, he and his second wife sorted out their differences with the assistance of a competent financial counsel­or.

Another way to avoid money misunder­standings is with a prenuptial agreement. Although some see the desire for a “prenup” as an indication of mistrust, it actually can be a valuable tool for confronting and root­ing out sources of potential conflict.

When you’re happily planning a wedding, it’s easy to ignore issues from the past that need to be dealt with. You may have anger toward a former spouse, for example, that could undermine your current relationship. Don’t delay seeking help from professional counselors, clinics or support groups.

His children know all about evil step­mothers. You’d rather be perceived as a modern Mary Poppins.

Start off right: Involve the children, yours and his, in the wedding ceremony.

Here’s a suggestion from Bride’s & Your New Home magazine; it’s called the “Fami­ly Medallion Ceremony” and was devel­oped by the Rev. Roger Coleman of Kansas City, Mo.:

“After the newlyweds exchange rings, their children join them at the altar. During the five-minute ceremony that follows, the couple places a medal around the neck of each child, while pledging to love and care for them.”

Children should be reassured before the wedding about things that concern them.

Don’t feel guilty if the kids want to go along on your honeymoon but you’d rather they didn’t. (According to Post, one child pleaded with his mother, “I’ll sit very quiet­ly on the end of the moon.”)

You might compromise, if you like, and include the children in the second half of your trip.

You’ve announced your nuptials and sud­denly your ex-spouse seems to have no end of problems and wants you to help.

“Nurturing an ex-spouse is no longer your responsibility,” advises Bride’s & Yow New Home. “The less involved you are, the better you’ll feel. Recognize the meddling for what it is: an inability or unwillingness to let go of you and your past.”

Your current relationship is what mat­ters; commit yourself to making it work and to creating a healthy blended family.

Picture this: a bride orders her bouquet and consults an etiquette guide from her home computer. Across town, her fiance can be found making honeymoon arrange­ments through an on-line travel service.

Couples all across the United States are using their personal computers to plan their weddings. They’re using spreadsheets for budgeting and databases for guest lists; cre­ating desktop-published newsletters an­nouncing the event; and using on-line ser­vices to research etiquette issues, register for gifts and check the weather for the big day.

Eileen Finn of Omaha says, “In planning our wedding, my fiance fine-tuned the bud­get with a spreadsheet program, while I han­dled the database and guest list and regis­tered for gifts on line.”

Much of the popularity of on-line services can be attributed to their time- and money- saving benefits.

A new wedding primer on the PRODIGY service allows couples to plan and shop for their wedding from the comfort of their own home computer. Written from the point of view of both the bride and bridegroom and the invited guest, the service’s “Weddings” feature is easy to use and can help to save time and money.

The wedding primer answers etiquette questions, offers guidelines to organize the wedding and reception, and allows you to shop for items that will be delivered to your home or another address. Items such as china and flatware are available with low- est-price guarantees.

Brides can even order additional items in the shopping section, including “ Love” postage stamps and “Thank you” cards. Couples can search through listings of songs and find options for their wedding music.

There's a section “For the Invited Guest” with information such as guest etiquette and

protocol, shower and wedding gifts, and “what to wear.”

Wedding guests can also review and se­lect from a smorgasbord of gifts available through any of the dozens of shops and cat­alogs on the service. •

Couples also can use a travel guide to plan their honeymoons. They can book their airline tickets and hotel and rental car reservations. Special features include a “Cruise Scan” and “Condo Network” for more private honeymoons.

Checklists are important for such a big event, and some on-line services even guide couples through particular items to take care of one to two years before the wedding, six months before the date, and then right up to the day of the event.

“There is no doubt that a computer is a great help in planning a wedding,” notes Peter Kelley of Washington D.C. “With as­sistance from our friends, we created a desk­top-published newsletter complete with old photos.

“In researching where to go for the hon­eym oon, we posted a m essage on the PRODIGY travel bulletin board, asking if anyone had been to Costa Rica and Mexico.

“We received terrific information and tips from others about Costa Rica,” he adds, “and so that’s where we went. We had a fabulous time traveling through many un­known areas.”

Many online services work with IBM PC and compatible computers of Apple Macin­tosh computers, and information is avail­able in computer stores nationwide. Some on-line services charge for usage by the min­ute or hour. Others, like PRODIGY, offer flat-rate pricing for most features, regardless of usage. Prodigy maintains a special toll- free consumer information number: l-(800) PRODIGY.

D e c i s i o n s h o u l d b e u n a n i m o u s

w h e n i t c o m e s t o h o n e y m o o nTerry, a bride-to-be from Cincinnati, had

always dreamed of a Caribbean honeymoon spent strolling along romantic beaches and shopping in open-air markets.

Her fiance, Eric, had set his sights on the roulette wheels and heart-shaped hot tubs in Las Vegas. So, to “be nice,” Terry agreed to take a gamble. Big mistake. She got trumped instead of suntanned - and she blamed Eric.

A honeymoon should be the trip of a life­time, for both partners. But so many expec­tations and emotions are built into the expe­rience that, without a few precautions, it can become a minefield of disappointments.

To avoid the most common honeymoon pitfalls, “Bride’s” magazine offers these im­portant tips:

1. Be honest with each other. If you go along with your mate’s choice to appease him or her, it can lead to quarrels and re­sentment later on. Instead, work together to find an agreeable compromise. A honey­moon in Aruba, Puerto Rico, or St. Maarten would have let Eric try his luck while Terry sunned and shopped.

2. Don’t expect non-stop romance. Since it will take time to wind down from all the wedding excitement, make intimacy and fun a priority.

3. Don’t forget your sense of humor. Honeymoons take place in the real world, where waiters spill soup and luggage can go astray. Laughing through the bumps will get your marriage off on the right foot.

4. Don’t try to do too much. Five Ha­waiian islands in one week is madness. A better idea is to spend the first few days relaxing and rediscovering each other.

5. Feel free to spend some time away from your partner. Scout out the local cafes or collect shells along the beach while your

partner naps, scuba dives or relaxes.6. Don’t under-budget. Even if you’re

heading for an all-inclusive resort, put to­gether a contingency fund.

7. Check with a travel agent or tourist bureau to find out which official papers (visa, passport, birth certificate) are re­quired for your destination well before your departure. And be sure that all travel docu­ments are accurate, up to date, and in hand at least one week before you leave.

8. Let hotel staff know that you’re honey- mooners. They may offer champagne, invite you to a newlyweds’ cocktail party, or even upgrade your room to a suite. No need to shy away from socializing, either - other honeymooners might key you in on hidden treasures, such as a local nightclub or se­cluded cove.

9. Be prepared for on-site expenses. If you’ve used credit cards to cover pre-wed­ding costs, be sure you’re well enough under your credit limit to pay for honeymoon pur­chases. Also, don’t overlook small expenses — such as international phone calls, gift-shop items, and laundry service - which can am­bush your budget.

i s p r i z e d f o r b e a u t yFor centuries, the pearl has been a symbol

o f love and purity, prized for both its beauty and inherent value.

Long a favorite adornment of brides - according to legend, a great Hindu god pre­sented a single, exquisite pearl to his daugh­ter on her wedding day - cultured pearl jew­elry is the perfect complement to every bride's ensemble.

In fact, according to Denise O’Donoghue, jewelry editor o f “ Bride’s” magazine, “ Pearls are the number one choice for bridal accessories. More than 50 percent of our readers will wear pearls - in the form of earrings, bracelets and/or necklaces - on their wedding day.”

O’Donoghue identifies several reasons for the popularity of cultured pearl jewelry, pointing out that these accessories are ex­amples of high-quality jewelry that feels ve­ry special, and yet people also feel comfort­able wearing it.

The bride also knows that it will wear well into her lifetime, and that it also can be passed down to future generations.

Indeed, with the current emphasis on tra­ditionally styled fashions and back-lo-basics accessorizing, cultured pearl jewelry is a particularly appropriate choice for the wed­ding day - and be’yond.

Cultured pearls (which, like the natural pearl, are grown in live oysters), will main­tain a long-lasting beauty and value.

Imitation pearls, on the other hand, are made almost entirely of synthetic - and sometimes organic - chemicals, and there­fore have no intrinsic value.

It is important to select the best-quality cultured pearl jewelry that you can afford. Look for a bright, clear lustre and a deep inner glow.

Try to choose pearls that are relatively free of surface blemishes (cracks, bumps or blisters), which can detract from the overall beauty and may shorten the life of the pearl.

When selecting cultured pearls for the bride, it also is important to match the length and style to the design of the gown.

Off-the-shoulder or scooped-neck gowns are best accentuated by one- to three-strand princess or choker length cultured pearl necklaces, while high or closed-neck gowns call for longer strands of pearls to create a smooth, slim silhouette.

The bride’s skin tone should also be taken into consideration when selecting pearls.

Generally, women with light hair and fair complexions tend to look best in cultured pearls with a slight rose tint, while cultured pearls in creamy, off-white shades comple­ment darker hair and skin tones.

With the wide variety of cultured pearl accessories to choose from, it’s easy to enjoy the convenience of one-stop shopping for keepsakes to be presented to the members of the bridal party.

Bridesmaids will be delighted with pre­sents of cultured pearl pendants, bracelets or earrings, while cultured pearl tie tacks, cuff links or shirt studs are appropriate choices for ushers.

Whatever the final selections, cultured pearls add a special touch of radiance to the bride’s special day.

And, perhaps best of all, their beauty - and value - will continue to be enjoyed for many years to com?. ,u .«

Imagine not being able to read stories to your children, street signs when you drive, or even normal household bills.

It sounds impossible, but according to the Literacy Volunteers of America, this is the harsh reality for 15 to 20 percent o f all adults in Monmouth County.

There are 40,000 adults in Monmouth County who finished no more than eight grades, and most of them are functionally illiterate. To be “functionally illiterate” means that a person cannot read enough to get along well in our society.

Harry Scher is a volunteer with LVA- Monmouth County, an affiliate o f the na­tional, non-profit organization founded in 1962 that offers free tutoring to people age 16 or over. According to Scher, LVA-MC has around 80 to 90 volunteers who tutor approximately 90 people. Although the number sounds im pressive, he added, “That’s not even a drop in the bucket.”

Scher said LVA-MC has basically two types of tutors - those who teach English as a second language and those who teach ba­sic reading. English as a second language (ESL), Scher said, is geared to foreign-born immigrants who need to speak, understand, read and write English. Scher said LVA-MC usually has “no problems attracting ESL learners,” because they are not afraid to come forward and say they need help.

Basic reading is designed for American- born adults who don’t know how to read and write. Although the tutoring is free, en­tirely confidential and one-on-one, Scher said the program often has problems attract­ing people, because one of the most difficult things facing persons who are illiterate is getting them to admit to themselves that they need help.

“They don’t want to come out of the clos­et and say, ‘Hey, I’m 40 or 50 years old, and I don’t know how to read or write,’ ” he said. “That’s the problem, how do we get those folks, how do we get them to say, ‘I’m going to face up to it’... that’s the toughest part.”

Scher said a reason why many people may not admit they don’t know how to read is because of the stigma attached, but added, “It’s no disgrace to admit you don’t know how to read and write ... it’s not your fault, it’s the system’s fault.”

Scher said he personally feels the school system is at fault to a great extent because “they simply push the kids through.”

He added, “It’s pitiful - 16-year-old kids barely finishing eighth grade.”

When asked how someone who is illiter­ate could possibly function in today’s socie­ty, Scher said they have great memories and are experts at finding intelligent ways to hide their handicap, adding that it’s amaz­ing the lengths to which people will go.

He said he knows a functionally illiterate warehouse worker, who received a list of things to pick out from his boss. Upon rec­eipt of the list, the man told his boss he forgot his glasses that day, even though he had them in his pocket, and had his wife read him the list later.

Scher said spouses usually know o f the illiteracy; however, children usually do not. When the children do discover the illitera­

cy, Scher said, they sometimes serve as the catalyst for getting their parent help. Most people come to LVA-MC through referrals, he added.

For instance, Scher pointed out, an illiter­ate person would not be able to read this article; however, someone who knows the illiterate might read it and refer the person to LVA-MC.

Scher spends much of his LVA-MC tutor­ing time working with a drug rehabilitation program called “New Hope,” located on the grounds of Marlboro Psychiatric Hospital. One of his success stories, Scher said, was a 17-year-old who had dropped out of school in the sixth grade and had a very poor read­ing level.

His English teacher at the program told Scher he was extremely introverted and qui­et and never participated in class. After spending five months with Scher, reading about events in the Persian Gulf because he was fascinated by them, Scher said his teacher commented that he was now willing to participate in class.

LVA-MC tries to work with people on things they’re interested in, said Scher. Meeting times which are convenient for the person needing help are arranged, and the program is entirely free and confidential. The minimum amount o f commitment LVA-MC asks from the volunteer is two hours a week for one year.

If anyone you know is functionally illiter­ate, you can contact LVA-MC at 571-0209.

HAZLET — Computer education in Hazlet public schools has filtered all the way down to first grade, where computer pro­grams are used to enhance instruction.

Mary Federico, computer teacher at Cove Road and Lillian Drive schools, said that all students in grades one through five have approximately 40 minutes of computer edu­cation once a week, and it’s something they “really look forward to.”

In the upper three grades, the computer class period this year is being used primarily as a supplemental math lab to enhance stu­dents’ math skills, a district-wide goal.

Students are challenged with picture problems which they cannot solve unless they get their math problems right. The first- and second-graders also use the com­puters to develop thinking skills and to build words.

Basically, the program enhances academ­ic learning. “For some reason,” Federico, who works very closely with classroom teachers, said students “think it’s a game,” and they enjoy it. “I don’t think they make the correlation that they’re learning from it,” she added.

So how do the youngest students adapt to computer learning? In the beginning of the year, Federico said she teaches them to use the keyboard, which, because of the chil­dren’s tiny hands, requires adaptation.

A lot of the students are already familiar with computers from their homes and from popular, computer games. She said she did have one child who was afraid of the com­puter and would cry. It turned out she didn’t like the accompanying sounds, said Federico, so the problem was solved by just turning off the sound.

At Cove Road School, the computer room is set up with 15 individual comput­ers, and the walls are decorated with special computer-printed awards and other infor­mation. Federico has a library of about 100 programs to choose from, most of which have child-oriented titles. One of Federico’s favorites is the “Muncher” series.

‘F o r s o m e r e a s o n , ( s t u d e n t s ) th in k it ( t h e c o m p u t e r p r o g r a m ) i s a g a m e . I d o n ’t th in k t h e y m a k e t h e c o r r e la t io n th a t t h e y ’r e le a r n in g fr o m it .’

M a r y F e d e r i c o c o m p u t e r t e a c h e r

There is also “Stickybear,” “Speedway” math and assorted other programs designed to help children learn everything from math, writing and language arts to geog­raphy, social studies and even song writing. One of the social studies programs, geared to fifth-graders, deals with expeditions, such as traveling across country in 1857 to Ore­gon City.

The program challenges the children to figure out how to survive the cross-country trek and at the same time, arrive within a specified time period.

It even goes so far as to have the player plan his own funeral - in case he doesn’t survive the difficult journey - by deciding such things as whether he wants a minister and whether the next of kin should be noti­fied.

Much of the computer learning is geared toward rewards. By completing require­ments predetermined by the teacher, in some cases, students are rewarded with an opportunity to play a computer game.

For example, a geography program con­sisting of eight different lesson plans de­signed to help students identify and locate states, spell and abbreviate the names cor­rectly, and name and locate the capital and other major cities, has a reward game called “Snakebite.”

Once students achieve the predetermined score, they get to play this game, whose ob­ject is to avoid the snake three times. The game, like the learning programs, has differ­ent levels o f difficulty.

Cove Road Principal Anthony Bruno has also taken a liking to the computer games, said Federico, but “gets frustrated” because some students can beat him on a “Speed­way” math program.

Federico, who spends half her week at Lillian Drive and the other half at Cove Road, has been teaching in the Hazlet dis-

TO THE FUTUREP h o t o g r a p h b y R ic h S c h u l t z

Second-grader Regina O’Connor and first-grader Chris Salerno, both first-piace win­ners in a contest sponsored by a Minnesota computer-software company, enjoy a game in the computer classroom at Cove Road School, Hazlet. Contestants drew pictures of what they think technology in schools will look like in the future.trict for 21 years. She began teaching the ent learning levels. Besides learning mathcomputer classes approximately five years ago, she said, because she had a general in­terest in computer-enhanced education.

Initially, computers were used in the dis­trict to enhance basic skills instruction and were expanded to regular instruction about seven or eight years ago, she said.

Eventually, she believes computer educa­tion will be part of every school’s regular curriculum. Currently, the state has no spe­cial certification for computer education, she said.

Teachers who specialize in that area are only required to have an elementary educa­tion degree.

She said she never gets bored, but some­times is frustrated when a program she plans to teach “totally flops,” because it is too difficult for the students.

On the other hand, she said sometimes she’ll tell students that a program is confus­ing, thinking it will be difficult for students to grasp, and the students will tell her, “No, it’s not.”

Federico believes that students learn a lot faster through computer-enhanced teaching. All of the programs can be geared to differ-

on the classroom’s 15 computers, they learn spelling, write stories and create accompa­nying pictures, all of which can be printed out, and even learn vocabulary and thinking skills.

“Basically, we reinforce” classroom learn­ing, said Federico. Her Cove Road students recently entered a contest sponsored by Minnesota Educational Computing Compa­ny, a computer software company, and to her great surprise, she had eight winners.

The students were asked to create a pic­ture answering the question, “What do you think technology in schools will look like in the future?”

Christopher Salerno, who won $50 for his entry in the grade K-l category, traced his father’s hand and then drew a small hand­held computer in the hand.

The other first-place winner, Regina O’Connor, who won $50 for her grade 2-3 entry, had an even more far-out idea. She drew a picture of a dog being walked by a computer-controlled leash.

The other winners were: Ann Marie Pe- trizzo, second place, Cynthia Chang, third place, both grades 2-3; and honorable men­tions went to Keira Werner, grades K-l, Cara Biglock, 2-3, Thomas Oddo, 2-3, and Brian Feliciano, 4-6.

Tim othy VanderSloop, suburbanite, commuter, dropped his briefcase, sat down on the curb and cried like a baby. He couldn’t find his home - or the wife, two kids, cocker spaniel and canary named Pag- liacci that went with it.

That may not seem unusual, except that Tim was cold sober. He was lost, victim of an urban sprawl that had exploded while he wasn’t looking.

He couldn’t even find the street his house was on. It was something like Meadowview or Meadowlark, he thought. Or maybe it was Larkview or Larchview. He couldn’t quite remember. He had lived there two weeks and hadn’t committed it to memory.

He should have noticed when he walked to the station that morning that things had changed during the week he’d been laid up with the flu. There were so many new houses, all looking pretty much alike. When he got off the 6:12, he started home the way he had memorized: down three streets, then a right, over two streets, and it’s the third house on the left from the comer.

He walked into a house whose occupants he’d never seen before.

Someone, Tim realized, had built more houses since he last oriented himself. He tried the fourth house, and the fifth - more strangers. The name on the street sign at the comer was unfamiliar. Someone, he real­ized, had built some more streets, too.

He started to wander. Two passers-by and two policemen tried to help him, but were unsuccessful.

Three hours, many streets and countless houses later, he knew he had walked a wide circle and was back where he started.

As he sat there weeping, the two friendly policemen came by again and he went with them to headquarters to get out of the cold.

At last report, Tim was living in a Holm­del motel and running ads in the local “Lost and Found” columns. His wife saw one and wrote him a letter. But the mailbox that used to be two streets down and half a block over was now four streets down and a block and a half over, and she hadn’t been able to find it.

All of which may seem to have little to do with the subject matter of this column - open space, wildlife and the like. But Tim’s rapid, fictional transition from exurbanite to ex-exurbanite is only a little exaggerated. Unless we can put a rein on the sprawl, we’ll soon have precious little of our subject mat­ter left hereabouts.

Strong northeast winds were a major fac­tor of the storm tides that wreaked coastal havoc 11 days ago. Another condition that contributed to the damage was one I didn’t see mentioned in any of the storm reports: It was the period of the new moon, a tide maker in itself.

Next Sunday, we’ll get the other astro­nomical tide raiser - the full moon. This time, the moon will be at perigee, its closest approach to Earth - a sort of lunar double­whammy. Not serious, really, unless we get easterly gales again.

Bill Sandford o f Matawan, a retired new s­paper associate editor, has been writing about nature and conservation in Mon­mouth County since 1952.

HOLMDEL — The students in Holmdel High School’s Save Our Mother Earth (SOME) Club are “hard workers” who “do great things,” said their faculty adviser, teacher Anita Riportella.

The environmental group was founded in 1990 and is in its third year of existence, said member Jodi Kantor, one o f the group’s leaders. The group has 60 members at the school, she added. Other group lead­ers include Tamara Latawiec, Gina Miele and Emily Marks, she continued.

The group was founded to address envi­ronmental and social needs. It focuses on “global awareness” — concern for the earth and the people who inhabit it, Kantor said.

“You can’t care about the earth without caring about the people who inhabit it,” she added.

The club prides itself on freedom of par­ticipation, Latawiec said.

“Anyone can join at anytime and involve himself (or)- herself in any activities,” she added. “In fact, we encourage members to generate their own ideas, activities and fund-raisers.”

One of the group’s environmental com­mittees is the Rain Forest and Forest De­struction Committee. This is led by Gina Miele, along with committee heads and pro­ject coordinators Lauren Rubin and Raina Bhjule.

Last year, the committee helped to buy acres of rain forests with money raised through a SOME festival. The group also sent many petitions to senators about envi­ronmental legislation before Congress. An­other committee-sponsored activity last year was Rain Forest Action Week, where information was handed out and informa­tive games were set up in the high school commons, Miele said.

This year, the committee is working to­ward a large festival in the spring, and will plant trees around the high school. The group will also sell small plants on Arbor Day, she added.

SOME’s pollution project’s goals are cleaning up the environment, promoting awareness and encouraging community in­volvement to reduce pollution, said Tamara Latawiec, pollution adviser.

Present activities include testing Holm- del’s stream waters in conjunction with Holmdel’s Environmental Commission for analysis of possible pollutants, she added.

Environmental Commission member Larry Fink recently reported on the status of the Holmdel Streams Water Quality Project to Riportella.

More than 30 volunteers working with members of the Environmental Commis­sion have gathered water samples from 11 streams in Holmdel, Fink said. The purpose of the project - partially funded through a matching grant from the state Department of Environmental Protection and Energy - is to establish “bench mark levels for va­rious parameters of our streams and to de­termine if there are any problems due to either point or non-point source pollution,” he added.

In addition to SOME members, others participating in the project include the St. John Vianney High School’s “Earth Alert” environmental club and several adults and

high school teachers, he continued.Pollution project managers are Robin

Kappy and Steve Un, Latawiec said. Other proposed activities include a beach cleanup, a recycling program, an environmental fair providing information and activities, and an art contest, she added.

The group’s humanitarian action encom­passes all forms of social action, Kantor said. Humanitarian initiatives so far include a book drive for needy children and a Hu­man Rights Month bulletin board, she con­tinued.

In the planning stages are animal rights information booths and work with the bat­tered women’s shelter. Humanitarian action project coordinators are sophomore Jessica Jewell and senior Beena Jani, Kantor said.

Future SOME projects include a festival/ concert and a children’s environmental fair, she added.

The SOME Homeless Committee consis­ts of students Emily Marks, Jen Sun Woo and Heather Hanson, Marks said. Last month, the committee held a “slave auc­

tion” to raise money to help the homeless, she added.

Past projects of the SOME Homeless Committee include trips to the Lunch Break soup kitchen, a canned food drive and a clothing drive, Marks said.

In addition to helping Lunch Break, the Homeless Committee also hopes to get in­volved with the battered women’s shelter in Hazlet, she added.

“One thing to remember is that homeless people are everyday human beings who are just down on their luck. They are veterans, mothers, fathers, children and whole fami­lies,” Marks said. “They have feelings and hopes and dreams, just like you ... No one plans to be homeless: it just happens.”

SOME does not give out awards and spe­cial recognition at the end of the year, Lata­wiec said.

“We feel that motivation should come from w ithin the ind iv id u al instead o f through external materialism,” she added. “Making a positive difference is award enough.”

ABERDEEN — Arnold Herman knows about the joys and heartaches of raising kids. In the span of 14 years, Herman, and his wife, Joyce, were foster parents for 24 teen-agers.

Herman, currently a resident of Cliff- wood Beach, has written and published a book on the trials of being a foster parent.

“It is a story about how this couple ... dealt with the emotional and behavior prob­lems others couldn’t handle,” he said. “It is a story about how they raised these children as their own, and about the rules they had to break to do so.”

However, Herman, who is also the natu­ral father of five, feels that there is much room for improvement in the foster care system under the state Division of Youth and Family Services.

“There is difficulty with the system,” he

said. “There is a tug-of-war over who’s child it is, the agency’s or the parent’s, and over who should be making decisions.”

As a result, the book he wrote, “In Crisis With DYFS” published by Northwest Pub­lishing Co., Utah, focuses on what he feels the conflicts are with the system. “In this home, we made it the premise that the child is our child,” Herman stressed.

Herman is also full-time director of Fos­ter Friends Inc., a foster parent support group that is a statewide organization. The group, which has been in existence since 1984, issues monthly newsletters.

One problem foster parents face is that the relationship that continues with the child’s natural parents is often a turbulent one, and many complain that after a visit, it takes a while for the child to “calm down.”

Another conflict occurs when a teen-ager runs away. “Some are very tough to parent,” he noted.

But one of the biggest problems, Herman said, is the heartbreak that occurs when it is finally time for the foster child to leave.

“With the teen-agers, it’s not so bad be­cause they can return for visits,” he pointed out.

In the Hermans’ case, most of the chil­dren resided in his home for years. Only two stayed for less than a year.

“They only stayed for six to eight months,” he explained. “I encouraged them to go back to their parents. I pushed them in that direction because I felt it was where they belonged.”

One daughter, now 22 and still living in the house, arrived when she was only 12 years old. Although she stopped qualifying as a foster child when she turned 18, she has become like a member of the family. Anoth­er daughter, still living in the Herman house is now 19 years old, and arrived at age 13.

“There are many rewards of parenting teen-agers,” he said. “You see them go to their first prom, see them graduate from high school, or hear the younger ones come home and say they are in love for the first time.

“It’s also turning someone around who trusts no one, and seeing them turn into someone who loves and trusts,” he added.

Herman first became a foster dad to a distant relative, a 17-year-old girl. The expe­rience was such a positive one, he and his wife decided to try it again. His own chil­

dren, now aged 25 to 32, hated the idea, he said.

“At first, there were conflicts between them and the foster children,” he said. “But there were also conflicts between foster chil­dren and foster children. There was real ri­valry and jealousy.”

The six-bedroom home also has only one bathroom. “That’s the horror story, but they all worked it out,” Herman smiled.

There are approximately 235 foster par­ent homes in Monmouth County.

Requirements include being at least 18 years old, having a background check and home study made, and at least 10 hours of pre-service training. Even unmarried people can be foster parents.

“As long as you can arrange for care dur­ing the hours when you are not there, you can be a parent,” he said.

“Foster parenting is for some people, and not for other people. Some take it seriously, others not so seriously. There are times when it’s great, and there are times-when it stinks,” Herman said. “But if I had to do it all over again, I would.”

Sixes different from fivesBy now, every mother of a 6-year-old

child knows that some growing has taken place. She knows because her adorable child - who used to be 5 years old - has changed and in its place, she is living with a still- loving but defiant 6-year-old. It’s almost as it was when the child was 2'h years old. “You can’t make me,” acts out the child. His language may be defiant, and you as a parent are having a challenging time living with the child. Thank goodness there is school; at least that’s a partial break for mother.

Every so often, it’s good to review some development that takes place whether you plan for it or not - for knowing the difficult ages gives a parent some prospective from which to stand aside and acknowledge what is happening. Six is such an age. Not only are you as a parent having a rough time, so is the 6-year-old.

How do you like the looks a 6-year-old is capable of throwing your way? How do you like the bedtime tuck-in when all the love comes out and the child nearly asks, “Do you still love me even though I was awful?” Confusing, isn’t it?

Six is an age when children are attempt­ing to define who they are, all the while knowing that mother is important, and that teacher needs to be obeyed. In fact, 6-year- olds may thrive with a strict teacher who sets down the rules and sticks to them.

Because a 6-year-old is still counting on the love of his mother, it’s with her that many battles are fought. Table manners, bed time, and discipline can all seem to come apart when a child reaches his sixth birthday.

Stubborn, bold and brash as he is, six still needs to know that he has some good points that mother and father can mention. You really have to catch him being good, and let him know you noticed - though it may feel like you’ll need a magnifying glass to find good behavior. Sixes want to be best, first, most loved, and have the most and best possession;; otherwise, they get frustrated. It’s funny t[o watch a group of sixes at school attempt to line up. Every one needs to be first. The big lesson is to learn to take turns being first in line.

ARA NUGENTPARENTING

Mention to a group of sixes that the group is going to get in line and gun-shot-like, the whole group will race to the door. The workable technique is to not mention the line until the end of the message, and to call particular children to take their place.

Sixes are operators in the extreme. They are most happy and then most sad. They are dramatic in explaining what has happened - over-exaggerating - making events more than what really happened. “He hit me hard” may be just an incidental bump in passing.

Making a decision about what to wear becomes a problem for many sixes. Mothers wanting a simpler dressing time would do well to set out the clothing the night before, thus giving the child limited choices - the blue or the yellow blouse, the brown or green pants. Stacking the clothing to be worn near the bed, ready for the morning, and involving the child in choosing between two colors makes the job easier for parent and child.

Sixes are not above taking what does not belong to them, and many a parent quakes thinking that their child is stealing. It helps to return the item and make clear that the owner’s permission is needed prior to taking it. Sixes want so much that the intense de­sire overcomes the developing sense o f own­ership and its rules.

Sixes are different from fives - they are harder to live with. Changes have taken place. Seven will be entirely different, so both parent and child know six won’t last forever. That’s nice to count on. Parents wanting to know more can read, “Your Six- Year-Old,” Ames and Ilge, Delacorte Press, New York.

As I noted in last week’s column, the process of separation may have destructive effects upon the children if not handled properly by the parents. The issues are often complicated, and do not have easy solu­tions. With mutual cooperation between the separating parents, the fallout upon the chil­dren may be held to a reasonably managea­ble level.

There are many important issues to be addressed when couples separate and when children are involved. Last week, the issues of custody and residence and visitation/ communication with the noncustodial par­ent were discussed.

But there are many more to be aware of, such as:

1. Information sharing about the children and their needs is desirable. This is impor­tant because it permits both parents to re­main aware of and participate in all aspects of their children’s lives if they choose. There should be free and open sharing of medical and other health-related information, school records and family, social and recreational activities of each child. Ideally, parents should discuss children’s current needs just before each visit. Transfer of clothing and a child’s preferred toys should be planned. For small children, especially, it may be im­portant to take toys such as a stuffed ani­mals, when visiting.

2. Effective management of conflict be­tween parents is important. This should be done without involving the children in tak­ing sides. Parents should avoid name-calling or blaming in front of the children. Dis­cussion of frustrations and misunderstand­ings between parents should be done pri­vately.

3. Time with each parent is important. Visitation times should take into account both the needs of the parents and the best interests of the children. The age, maturity and physical health of the children should be considered when making decisions con­cerning the sharing of significant holidays such as Christmas, New Year’s Day, Easter or Passover, and Thanksgiving as well as each child’s birthday. Summer vacations should be shared, taking into account work schedules and interests.

4. Grandparent visits should be consid­ered. Children often value their contacts with grandparents or aunts, uncles and oth­er relatives. They need to be reassured that these relationships will remain stable and unchanged in light of the parental separa­tion.

5. Payment of medical/health costs (in­cluding selection of healthcare providers, procedures, etc.) should be discussed in ad­vance.

6. Schooling (selection, programs, etc.) should be discussed by both parents, taking into account the children’s needs and inter­ests.

7. Temporary inability to care for the children should be taken into consideration. Does the noncustodial parent have first preference in caring for the children during such periods? What constitutes temporary inability to care for the children?

A flexible, cooperative approach to plan­ning between the parents may serve to mini­mize the stress upon the children. If the separating parents can act responsibly when dealing with the needs of the children, they will help to accomplish what is their mutual goal, that is, to minimize the trauma of fam­ily breakup.

Lions face tough stretch in run for playoff berthBy Rob Acampora

The race for a state tournament berth be­gins now for the boys’ basketball team at Middletown North High School, with the Lions facing a tough schedule over the next couple of weeks.

The Lions are hoping to top last season’s 9-13 mark, and they are certainly within striking distance of achieving another of their goals: qualifying for the Central Jersey Group IV playoffs. To gain a state playoff bid, the Lions must be at or above the .500 mark at the end of play Feb. 4.

Coach Ray McLoughlin has his team at5-7 - which is not a bad record, but the feeling around the team is that it could be better.

“I wanted our team to be around .500 at this point,” McLoughlin said. “But I’m a little disappointed at being 5-7 because there were a couple of games we should have won.

“There have been a couple of games that were closer than expected, like our game against CBA. We showed we can play with tough competition, but the game was one we could have won. We have had a brief spill after the CBA defeat, but now I think we are just about to get it on track.”

The CBA game on Jan. 3 may have taken some steam out of Middletown North’s sails. The 42-41 loss was a one-man show by CBA’s Keith Kurowski. The Lions con­trolled the tempo of the game and seemingly did everything right. Without Kurowski, the Colts shot 29 percent from the field (4-14).

“I knew Kurowski would get his points, but we never anticipated the game he was going to have that night,” McLoughlin said. “We did what we wanted, but Kurowski beat us by hitting just about everything he threw up (18-26 shooting — 36 points).”

Middletown North’s schedule hasn’t been a picnic, with games against CBA, Red Bank Catholic, Monmouth Regional, Raritan, Red Bank and Toms River North.

The Lions played a sound offensive game against Red Bank on Friday, but the Bucs (10-1) won, 87-61. As for Monday’s game vs. Toms River North, the Lions played three of their best quarters of basketball this season as they posted a 65-47 win.

“I felt bad about the Toms River North win because it was the first relaxing game of the season that we could have blown,” Mc­Loughlin said. “We held Toms River North to 23 points in the first three quarters, then we had a letdown and gave up 24 in the fourth. I was not looking to demoralize the other team, but I did want us to hold our lead. We are a young team and we will make some mistakes, but we cannot take a lead

for granted because any team is capable of coming back to beat you.”

M iddletown North played Freehold Township, which beat the Lions earlier in the season, on Tuesday. Coming up are games vs. Marlboro (6-3), Jackson (6-3), CBA (8-2), Middletown South (8-3) and Neptune (8-3).

“We could very easily lose our next five games,” McLoughlin said. “We need to keep some momentum going from the Toms River North win and put the Red Bank loss behind us. This stretch is imperative for the rest of our season.”

The Lions’ key player this winter has been Brandon Tull. The 6-2 senior guard ranks among the Shore Conference’s Top 15 scorers with an 18.8 points per game aver­age.

Tull will get his points, but a supporting scorer would take some pressure off the vet­eran guard. Brian Barth and Mike Schulz may be the players who can kick the offense up a notch.

Barth has been through a “cold shooting spell” according to McLoughlin, but the se­nior point guard heated up a little by scoring 20 points in his last two games and moving his scoring average over 7 points per game. Schulz has come on in the last week. The junior forward bucketed 12 points in the Red Bank loss and chipped in 15 points along with 10 rebounds in the win over Toms River North.

“We need to get an offensive combination going to give our opponents another player to key on,” McLoughlin explained. “Our opponents have been and will continue to key on Tull. With Barth shooting better and Schulz coming off two solid games, hopeful­ly this will help the offensive end of our game.”

A1 McCrann and Pat Conery were keys in Thursday’s 67-58 overtime win over Howell as they each scored 10 points.

Pat Berweiler, Mike Testa, Tim Bace, Steve Salus, Rob McGrath, Doug McKenzie and Tom Walsh are also contributing to the Lions’ cause this season.

Middletown North’s offense has not over­powered many teams, but the Lions’ de­fense has kept the club in games, holding half of the opponents to under 50 points.

“Our defense has been crucial,” Mc­Loughlin said. “We have played five games where we scored less than 40 points, but we managed to win two of those games because of the defense we played. We can play a run- and-gun style if we have to, but we slowed down the pace for our advantage. We know our defense can keep most opponents down. If we can consistently break the 50-point barrier, we’ll win some more games.”

The world’s largest show for fly fishermen is coming to the New Jersey Exhibition Center in Somerset on Feb. 1-2.

Demonstrations, seminars and fly fishing instruction will provide an enjoyable learn­ing atmosphere for beginners to experts. An emphasis on salt water fly fishing, a rapidly growing segment of fly fishing, is planned with the latest equipment and seminars about the sport.

“Because of the huge show floor and the proximity to so many avid fly fishermen we plan to make this a must see show for the public and exhibitors alike,” say the show directors. The list of show seminars reads like a “who’s who” in fly fishing.

Doing the casting demonstrations will be Ed Jaworowski, Steve Rajeff and Cathy Beck. Jaworowski has a book on casting due to be released prior to the show. Rajeff is the holder of both the American and world ti­tles in casting, and his longest tournament

fly cast is over 100 yards. Beck is a fine instructor and shares teaching duties with her husband, Barry, at their fly fishing schools at Fishing Creek Outfitters in Ben­ton, Pa.

Seminars and programs covering fresh and salt water fly fishing will be given all weekend. Leon Chandler, the ambassador to fly fishing and vice president of Cortland Line Co., will begin the seminars Feb. 1. Another celebrity instructor will be Paul Jorgensen, world renowned fly tyer and fly fishing expert. Gary Borger’s programs are recognized as some of the finest in fly fish­ing. His background in writing and produc­ing videos makes learning from him a satis­fying experience.

Show hours are 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Feb 1, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Feb. 2. Admission is $8 for adults and $2 for children under 12.

For a complete brochure and list of spe­cial morning classes for a limited number of students, call 1-800-848-1020.

M u s t a n g s ’ p l a y w o r t h n o t i n gWhen seventh-grader Jean-Marie Parzych

wrote to the Independent recently to ask why the girls’ basketball team at Memorial School in Union Beach wasn’t getting any recognition, the reason was simple. While it is not strictly by choice, the bulk of our sports coverage goes to local high school varsity teams.

But in Union Beach, where there is no high school, the Memorial School Mustangs are the varsity team, and heading into to­day’s game against Bayshore, the Mustangs were off to a ,5-3 start, 5-2 in the Bayshore Basketball Conference.

“This year we’ve been playing good de­fensive basketball,” said Jim Freglette, the Mustangs’ mentor. “The kids are enthusias­tic about playing, and they work hard.They’re all basically good friends with each other and get along well so there’s no an­imosity toward one another about who’s starting and who’s not. So it’s a very good atmosphere.”

The Mustangs’ squad consists of Parzych, the starting point guard, eighth-grade guard Nicole Magistro, seventh-grade guard/for­ward Tabitha Nascimento, eighth-grade for­ward Jennifer Smith and sevnth-grade cen­ter Nancy Pearce, along with eighth-graders Michelle Reed (center), Lisa Conrad (cen­ter) and Kim DiSpagna (forward).

The junior varsity squad includes sev­enth-graders Stepanie Henn (guard), Jamie Martish (guard), Wendie Lemkul (center) and Danielle Grote (forward), and sixth- grade forward Rebeka Adamczyk.

Freglette said he believes this group has a lot of potential for success on the next level.

“Nicole is going to Red Bank Regional High School next year and I could really see her playing four years of varsity ball there,” Freglette said.

Students at the school currently have a choice of attending either Keyport High School or Red Bank Regional High School.

“I also have a good group of seventh-, graders like Jean-Marie, Nancy and Tabi­tha, for example, that with another year of eighth-grade ball, they’re going to make good players on the high school level,” Freg­lette said.

Freglette, now in his sixth season as the Mustangs’ coach, said he is not concerned with wins and losses at this level, he’s more concerned with the girls learning the game.

“Coaching is just an extension of the teaching day for me and the kids are very responsive, they’re willing to learn and they want to know about the game,” he said. “Their interest is there and they enjoy the game.

“We just have a basic philosophy that we talked about at the beginning of the year. My concern is not winning or losing - it’s just having fun and doing the best they can. If they play hard and aggressive and we lose, then so what - as long as they’re out there learning and trying their best.”

TAKEDOW N POSITIONKeansburg’s Evin Nieradka (top) and Spotswood’s Chris Witt battle for a take­down early in their 171-pound bout Saturday. Witt went on to pin Nieradka in 1:10 and the homestanding Chargers beat the Titans, 39-35, in the dual meet.

Although the Keansburg High School wrestling team has several solid grapplers like Bill Hutchins, Evin Nieradka, Mike Salvatore and Dan Tomasulo, overall in­experience has hampered the Titans thus far.

Keansburg is 0-5, having lost to Holm­del, Red Bank Catholic, Manasquan, Keyport and Spotswood.

Seniors Hutchins (5-0 at 189) and Nie­radka (4-1 at 171), and juniors Salvatore (5-0 at 145) and Tomasulo (4-0 at 112) have been the Titans’ winningest wrest­lers so far.

“We’re working hard and developing a positive attitude,” said first-year coach Steve Kirchner. “We really don’t have a lot of experience; some of these kids have only been wrestling a year or two. Others are in their first year. But they are begin­ning to believe in themselves. They don’t shy away from contact on the mats. They go out and wrestle hard and that’s what I want to see.”

Another key member of the team is senior Don Kistner (140), who along with Hutchins and Nieradka serves as a tri-captain . K istner is ju st 1-3 but

Kirchner expects him to come on strong as the season progresses.

The coach also believes that sopho­more Aaron Nieradka (135), E vin’s younger brother, will make his presence felt. The younger Nieradka’s triumph came on a pin against Manasquan.

The remainder of the team includes senior Todd Quaglia (160), who is per­forming better than his 0-3 mark would indicate; sophomores Sean Rutherford (152) and Julio Bertoli (also 152) and Anthony Cappaccio (heavyweight), and freshman Ben Shihadeh (103).

“Our goal is to get better one practice at a time, one meet at a time,” Kirchner said. “We’ve got some learning to do as a team, but we have some good athletes who can pass their skills to the others. This is a season where we all have to work hard so we can begin building this program into a successful one.”

To that end, Kirchner, along with sev­eral of the seniors, particularly Evin Nie­radka, are working with middle school students who are participating in an in­tramural program, with the hope o f eventually creating a feeder system that will send fundamentally experienced wrestlers to the Titans.

The division races in the Shore Confer­ence are starting to heat up as the 1991-92 boys’ basketball season approaches the half­way point, and the most hotly contested race is in the B North division.

Before the season started, the feeling about the B North title chase was that the champion could have as many as four losses in league play. That figure may not be that far-fetched when you consider there is no unbeaten team in league play and that Rari­tan, RBC and Red Bank are tied for the top spot with 3-1 records.

Raritan climbed into the tie for the top on Friday when the Rockets held RBC to a season-low 39 points and Jason Smith scored a game-high 15 points en route to a 10-point victory.

The Rockets (7-3) have prided them­selves on strong defensive play under the guidance of coach Dick McCallum. John Drennan had a tremendous effort by hold­ing RBC’s Tommy McAllister (21 ppg avg.) to 10 points and coming up with 13 points and 15 rebounds on the offensive end.

McAllister was never in any kind of a groove thanks to the Rockets’ defensive ef­fort, giving the Caseys (8-2) their first B North loss.

McCallum has said that for his team to be successful, Raritan has to “hold opposing teams down on offense.” The Rockets don’t have one big-time scorer like McAllister or Red Bank’s Mark Donnelly (21.1 ppg avg.), but they have Drennan, Frank Patalano and John Drake averaging double figures, along with Smith and Brian Guiney chipping in.

The teams tied for first place will be looking over their shoulders the rest of the season because right behind them are Ocean Township and Matawan.

The Spartans and the Huskies are both 2­2 in B North play. Matawan had a chance to make the B North race a four-way tie for the lead on Friday but Ocean pulled out a 58-54 win in the final minute.

In the losing effort, Matawan’s Mike Power canned six three-point field goals en route to a 27-point night. The 6-5 senior forward is averaging 17.3 points per game.

At 5-3 overall, the Huskies appear to be on a pace to surpass last season’s total of nine wins. The team is currently not at 100 percent strength because its force in the middle, 6-7 center Nebraska Baker, has been out of the lineup due to injuries.

The B North race should go down to the wire, with nobody having a true inside track for the title. The excitement surrounding this battle will really intensify in February.

Mater Dei has put itself in a position to challenge for the Shore Conference C North Division title as the Seraphs improved to 3­1 in league play after a win over Henry Hudson on Friday.

The Seraphs (5-4) now seem to have their

ROBACAMPORA V ^defense on the right track as they kept the Admirals’ offense under 50 points in a 48­47 victory. Bobby Lambe, averaging 17.3 points per game, was held to nine points, but Chad Anshelewitz picked up the slack with a team high 13 points.

The Seraphs have been improving with each outing and must continue to do so if they are going to have a shot at knocking off Shore Regional, which leads the division with a 5-0 mark. The Blue Devils (7-3) earned a win Over the Seraphs just about a week ago.

Shore Regional has been tough to shut down, as Keyport discovered on Friday in a game that ended with the biggest offensive show of the season in conference play. The Blue Devils scored 98 points, the most by any conference team this season, and won by nine. For Keyport, this is the Red Raid­ers’ second loss after scoring over 85 points in a game.

Keyport may be at a disadvantage in the division race with losses to Shore Regional and Mater Dei, but the Red Raiders (6-6) will still be a threat mainly due to the scor­ing touch of Brad Bell.

Bell notched 20 points in Friday’s loss, came back 24 hours later and scored 15 in a loss to Holmdel (52-45), and then banged home 29 points on Monday in a win over Pinelands. He’s averaging 19.7 points per game.

The Middletown South High School boys’ and girls’ swim teams have been celebrating what has so far been a suc­cessful season. In dual meets the girls are 5-3, and the boys are 6-3.

“As far as the girls,” said first-year coach Christine Sueta, “we have a young team and they’re doing real well. The boys are an older team, mostly juniors and seniors, but they’ve shown great im­provement during the season.”

Sueta is a graduate of Ocean Township High School, where she swam for the Spartans. She went on to swim at Old Dom inion University, and spent last year as an assistant to Kathy DeBonis at Rumson-Fair Haven High School.

Sueta said her time at Rumson helped prepare her for her job as the Eagles’ coach, although she has had to contend with sharing practice time with the Mid­dletown North High School teams at the Monmouth Boys Club in Asbury Park.

“At South we only swim every other day,” Sueta said. “So my assistant, Mike Mitchell, and I divided the program so that they could do weights and dry-lands (excercises such as push-ups and sit-ups) on the alternate days. In other words, we had to restructure the program and it did take a lot o f work in the beginning. And we feel it helped the kids with their swimming because they’ve now been working out every day, where in the past they’ve only been swimming every other day - maybe twice a week.”

The girls’ squad is led by sophomores Colleen O’Boyle (individual medley, freestyle), Kari Batch (butterfly, back­stroke) and Mandy Senion (freestyle,

backstroke), and freshmen Caroline Cor­rigan (butterfly, IM), Jen Sabotos (free­style) and Mamie Weber (backstroke, breaststroke).

The rest of squad includes seniors Mary Beth Cahill (IM, freestyle), Kristin Carleo (freestyle) and Kristin Wissle (freestyle); juniors Erica Karlovits (but­terfly), Perry Kirk (breaststroke), Allyson Staines (backstroke), Laura Stark (free­style), Sharon Vanyi (butterfly); sopho­mores Karen Gasch (freestyle), Jill Me­dia (freestyle); and freshm en Julie Graebe (IM, freestyle), Andrea Herbold (breaststroke), Liza Luciano (breast­stroke, freestyle), D anielle Stefanic (backstroke) and Katie Anderson (free­style, backstroke).

The boys’ squad is led by seniors Christian Cofone (IM, breaststroke) and Mike LaPlaca (freestyle, backstroke), and juniors Dave Lewy (butterfly, freestyle), Kevin Schroeder (freestyle, backstroke) and George Turturro (freestyle).

The remainder of the boys’ squad in­cludes seniors Dennis Barghaan (butter­fly, freestyle), Pete Burkardt (breast­stroke), Brian Gawron (freestyle), Tom Morrone (freestyle), Drew Paril (free­sty le), Rob R ussom ano (freesty le, breaststroke), Steven Meyer (IM, back­stroke) Tom Wilkes (breaststroke); ju­niors Jeff Artherholt (freestyle), Chaz McCallum (freestyle) and Darren Pow- derly (freestyle, backstroke); sophomores Jason Anderson (IM, butterfly), Dennis Morrone (freestyle) and Matt Porio (free­style); and freshman Todd Meyer (IM, breaststroke).

With the Monmouth County Champ­ionsh ips and the Shore C onference Championships approaching, Sueta is confident the Eagles will give a good showing.

P E T E RG R A N D I C HINVESTING

G old f a c e s 1 d e terren t

With great pleasure, I recently returned to the “gold bug” camp. In recent weeks, I have stated that we have finally seen the necessary technical and fundamental devel­opments to launch a new bull market in gold and silver. The most crucial factor for my renewed optimism is the single biggest change in the fundamentals in over 10 years.

I am speaking about the dramatic reve­lations out of the former Soviet Union re­garding its past and present gold production and sales. It now appears that the Soviets were far greater sellers then any of us so- called experts ever imagined. The fear that huge quantities were still available for sale has been the biggest fundamental negative hanging over the market. Slowly but surely, the market has begun to adjust its expecta­tions of future worldwide production, par­ticularly the overblown fear of devastating future sales by the now “Commonwealth.” As far as I am concerned, the cat is now out of the bag. One down and one to go. There is still one major deterrent - lack of invest­ment interest. ,

Worldwide equity markets have been drawing capital away from the precious metals in the belief that “Happy days are here again.” Nowhere has that been more evident than in our own stock market.

? When the money begins to flow back into the metals (soon), we will have eliminated the last deterrent to a mega bull market.

The supply-vs.-demand scenario is now set to be in its most favorable position in 10 years. Not only has gold been discarded by investors, but worldwide production is peaking. The expected demand for the met­als will spill over to the mining shares. At first, the major producers will get the lion’s share of investment dollars. I believe the following stocks will be among the leaders:

American Barrick Resources - Symbol ABX on the NYSE Recent Price 27 - This company is the blue chip of blue chips. It has achieved record revenue, earnings and cash-flow growth in each of the last five years. Gold reserves have increased nearly tenfold during this period.

The key to the company has been its own­ership of a strategic holding in Nevada’s Carlin Trend. Management has dem on­strated its abilities to develop orebodies and bring them into production. They have used a series of hedging strategies that have se­cured better gold prices than have mok oth­ers, yet have kept a majority of their future production still available for future sales at (hopefully) higher price levels.

Technically, the stock has broken out above 24 on good volume and relative strength. It will be the darling o f Wall Street (if it isn’t already) in a gold bull market, and can achieve a price of $50 in the next 12 to 18 months.

Lac Minerals Symbol LAC on the NYSE Recent Price 73A - This company is a major exploration and producing mining company of gold and, to a lesser extent, other miner­als in the United States, Canada, Australia and Chile. The company recently completed a major acquisition of Bond International and a secondary offering that raised more than $ 100 million (Canadian).

Now that mortage interest rates are low and more first-time buyers are entering the market, current homeowners are looking to trade up.

These homeowners face a dilemma howe­ver - whether to sell their current home first or go ahead and look for a new home.

“It can be a difficult decision because, as often happens, people find their dream home but can’t afford to buy it until they have sold their current home,” said Maurice B. Hoffman of the New Jersey Association of Realtors.

“This is where bridge loans can help.”Bridge loans, also referred to as equity or

gap loans, tap the equity in a current home to provide the down payment on a new home.

The equity is used as collateral against the loan. Buyers repay the loan after the home has sold or at the end of the term, whichever comes first.

“Bridge loans are available through most commercial banks as well as some real es­tate companies,” said Hoffman.

“A real estate professional can advise you on sources for bridge loans and explain what terms you can expect from the lender,” he said.

Lenders usually treat bridge loans like personal loans - short-term and held in­house rather than sold in the secondary market.

Funds may be committed as soon as three days after applying, and disbursement takes place at the closing on the new home. As with all loans, fees and flexibility of terms will vary among lenders.

“Most lenders’ repayment schedules are more flexible than those for regular mortga­ges,” according to Hoffman.

“Some require monthly or quarterly in­terest payments during the term of the loan while others will defer all payments until the property is sold,” he added.

Maximum loan amounts will vary from lender to lender, but on a national average, most have a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 75 percent.

“That is,” explained Hoffman, “all liens against the property being secure - includ­ing the first mortgage and the bridge loan - cannot exceed 75 percent of the ap­praised value.”

As with other loans, there are fees for the approval process and for credit and title re­ports.

“A typical loan fee is 1 percent of the loan amount, but it may not cover all costs in­volved,” said Hoffman. “Contact several lenders to determine their terms and fees.

“Also ask if the loan can be extended should the property fail to sell within the loan period. This may be an important fac­tor in your decision-making if the market is slow.

“Although the bridge loans have many advantages, no loan is risk-free,” said Hof­fman. “Be aware that you could end up pay­ing two mortgages. Carefully read all terms of the loan agreement before signing it and consider the worst-case scenario. That way, you will know your decision is a sound one.”

The New Jersey Association of Realtors is a non-profit organization serving more than 40,000 real estate professionals.

Tips for used car trade-ins

It’s no secret that a clean, new-looking car will sell more quickly than one that has been neglected. So when it comes time to trade in your used car, here are a few quick, easy steps to maximize its value at resale.

The first step to a newer-looking car is a thorough car wash. Although it is tempting to save money by using household products to wash a car, these actually do more harm than good. Some household cleaners con­tain a high alkaline content that is effective on grease, but can streak a car’s wax and leave unsightly spots that are difficult to remove.

Instead, use a car wash formulated specif­ically for the car’s paint surface. Products such as Armor All Car Wash are designed to safely remove paint-damaging residue that builds up on the surface.

Next, a new coat of wax will enhance the car’s shine and give it a showroom finish. Most cars manufactured after 1980 require a wax that is safe for today’s multi-layered paint systems. These systems are finished with a clear top coat which can be damaged or scratched by waxes with abrasive ingre­dients. For example, Rain Dance Car Wax is safe for both traditional and clear-coat finishes.

After thoroughly vacuuming the car and trunk, remove ground-in dirt and stains from the carpets, upholstery, dashboard, door panels, console and headliner with an all-purpose car cleaner.

After cleaning these surfaces, a quality, silicone-based protectant such as Armor All will help restore the original shine and col­or. Applying protectant to the dash will make a big difference, but for the finishing touch, use protectant on the door panels, weather stripping, trim, bumpers and tires.

Finally, rinse away dirt and grime from under the hood. Use an engine degreaser or all-purpose automotive cleaner on tough spots. Armor All Car Cleaner, for example, is strong enough to degrease an engine and clean brake dust from wheels, yet still safe enough to remove stains from upholstery and carpeting.

A small investment of time and money will eliminate many of the headaches nor­mally associated with selling a car. Atten­tive care now will contribute not only to prolonging a car’s life, but to increasing its resale value, as well.

Maximizing the value of your trade-in:- Wash the car with a product designed

specifically for automotive use. Beware of using household cleaners which may strip the wax, leaving unsightly spots.

- Apply a new coat of wax. Use a wax that is safe for all finishes.

- If the car has a traditional enamel fin­ish, and shows symptoms of oxidation or has “flat” areas, use a cleaner-wax to re­move the oxidized paint layers.

- If oxidation on the traditional finish is severe, a polishing compound will remove it. Follow with a new coat of wax.

- Vacuum the car thoroughly. Don’t for­get the trunk.

- Clean ground-in dirt and stains from the door panels, console, weather stripping, trim, bumpers and tires with an all-purpose car cleaner.

- Use a silicone-based protectant to revi­talize the car’s interior surfaces, tires, rubber bumpers and trim.

- Lubricate squeaky door hinges and latching mechanisms.

- A do-it-yourself car wash makes engine cleaning easy. Use an all-purpose car cleaner or engine degreaser on tough spots.
